DSS building a ‘train wreck,’ county attorney says Lawsuit probable

by Leah Justice

The Polk County Board of Commissioners discovered that problems with the construction of its department of social services (DSS) building may result in the county having to file a

lawsuit to recoup damages.

Commissioners met Monday, Aug. 5 and heard from county attorney Jana Berg, who said she has reviewed some files and she doubts very seriously (Continued on page 3)

even when repairs are made the county will end up with a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified building.

“It was a train wreck honestly,” Berg told commissioners.

She said the county went with the lowest responsible bidder, as required by state statute, and it became apparent at some point that the contractor (Able Construction) was having financial difficulties. Berg said some subcontractors approached the county when they didn’t get paid. She also said some of the subcontractors didn’t perform the work properly.

The main issues are with the sewer system to the building and the HVAC. Berg said the HVAC system designed for the building could never perform what it was required to do, not to mention that (Continued on page 4)

Arceneaux also expressed concern over equipment and documents in the building that the county cannot afford to allow to be wet or damp as well as employees and the public who have to deal with the heating and cooling issues of the building.

She said the thought of ripping the building up and having to carry debris back and forth is mind boggling.

Arceneaux also said the DSS board has two projects going on right now and this construction is going to disrupt the whole operation of DSS, which will be a big task, especially if they have to close the building one day a week.

Chair by local artist will benefit service animal project more than once On a rainy July 4, 2013 in Columbus, CDR Michael Collins of American Legion Post 250 drew the winning ticket for Service Animal Project’s (SAP’s) custompainted rocking chair raffle that ran during May and June.

The raffle served as a fundraiser for SAP, a group of Foothills Humane Society (FHS) volunteers that identifies local shelter and

rescue dogs suitable to be service dogs, and transports them to Florida to receive specialized training to become service animals for warriors and veterans with post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries.

The winner of the chair was Heidi Trim, a sales service special(Continued on page 7)

ist at the Bank of America branch in Tryon.

But when SAP founding members Ann Goodheart and Sev Bennett went to the bank to present Trim with her prize, she and her colleagues had a surprise of their own. Trim is donating the chair back to SAP, and Bank of America in Tryon is going to hold a silent auction for the chair starting Aug. 1. The highest bidder will be announced and awarded the chair on Sept. 11. All funds from the silent auction will be donated to SAP. The bidding begins at $250 and will increase by increments of $25.

So for those who bought a raffle ticket and were hoping to win the chair, here’s another chance. The chair will be on display at Bank of America in Tryon until Sept. 11.

The chair was painted and donated by local artist (and SAP foster) Peggie Armstrong. Armstrong is a decorative artist living and working in Green Creek.

Essentially self-taught, she has attended classes in Florida and Las Vegas to enhance her detail techniques. Many charitable organizations have benefited from Armstrong’s talent and generosity with auctions and raffles that have raised as much as $2,000 for one donated piece. Her imagination is limitless in the creation of whimsically-themed rocking chairs and other small pieces.

On Armstrong’s website you will find photos of Beach Chair, Porch Chair, Garden Rocker and Four Seasons Chair. Go to www. picturetrail.com/mimiartist to view an extensive collection of Peggie Armstrong original designs.

Come by the Tryon branch of Bank of America and help them raise even more funds for this worthy cause. You can also donate to SAP directly by making your checks payable to “FHS Service Animal Project” and mail them to FHS, P.O. Box 126, Tryon, N.C. 28782.

Vehicle crashes over embankment near Green River

by Samantha Hurst

Rescue workers on the Green River Monday, Aug. 5 worked for about an hour to pull a man from his SUV that had flipped over an embankment toward the water.

Norman Goodwin, 64, of Green River Cove in Saluda had driven down his driveway to check the mail when he lost control of the vehicle.

Nick Edwards was the officer in charge for the Saluda Fire Department, which responded to the scene around 1:30 p.m.

“The vehicle was upside down, laying up against a tree on the edge of the river with the engine part of the vehicle in the water,” Edwards said.

Polk County EMS Director Michael Crater said a tree was the only thing between Goodwin’s car and the water.

“His vehicle ended up in the water with a tree holding it

in place,” Crater said. “He had some significant injuries and was airlifted to Mission Hospital, but he was talking.”

Edwards said the extrication wasn’t a challenge but the way the vehicle was positioned certainly made things awkward.

“Everything we did to get him out required us to reach above our heads and get on ladders to get to him,” he explained.

Because of the position of the vehicle, rescue workers had to get in the water and under the vehicle to cut Goodwin out with the jaws of life, Edwards said.

Goodwin is expected to recover but may face charges, according to reports from the NC Highway Patrol.

Also responding to the incident were the Polk Rescue Squad, Mill Spring Fire Department and Henderson County Rescue.

The Tryon Daily Bulletin aims to provide you with as much information as possible about your community.

We especially want to provide you with information that allows you to get involved, get to know your neighbors and get the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful place we all call home.

One of the great and complicated parts of living in such an active community is that some weekends there are more events going on than even we can keep up with easily.

We’d like to help organizations and community members plan ahead for their big events. To do so, we want to enhance our community calendar.

In recent months, Carol Browning has worked hard to compile a Master Arts Calendar for the area. This calendar includes a variety of great events that organizations may use to better plan further down the road.

We’d like to do something similar for all organizations – arts organizations, churches, little league groups, civic organizations, schools and more. Send your calendar items in the following format to news@tryondailybulletin.com and we will add it to our online calendar on our website www.tryondailybulletin.com.

Event name: Date: Short description: Location: Contact: We already get so many great items from you all, but we’d like to have more to assist people in making plans to enjoy the beautiful area. We’d especially like to know about your events scheduled for months down the road.

Having these available to the public might help make sure no two organizations have fundraising dinners on the same night, for example. Or it might allow your group to plan an event on a weekend you know a lot of people will be in town. We look forward to hearing from you.

Healthcare column To the editor: I read with interest your column on the healthcare law in Thursday’s newspaper, which made the following points: (1) People with pre-existing conditions may “jump at the chance to be insured,” because insurance Letter companies no longer to the can deny them coverEditor age for that reason.

This sounds OK to me.

(2) People with low incomes also “may jump at the chance” because they will receive higher rates of subsidy. That sounds OK to me too.

(3) So will people “with a major health condition or who have been neglecting their health because of a lack of health insurance.” Again, that sounds OK. (4) For these folks, “health care reform may work exactly as it was intended by removing the barriers to enrolling in health insurance.” Uh, I am sensing a pattern here, because that sounds OK too.

(5) The author correctly notes that the rates for North Carolina’s insurance exchange are not available yet, although I would add there have been pleasant surprises

in other states as the market has emerged. So that might be OK. (6) For the example family described by the author, perhaps their rates “will remain fairly stable,” or “because of the subsidy, their overall cost will go down.”

Unless it doesn’t. But if it does, that would be OK. (7) True enough, people who do not pay for coverage now will have to have it, or pay a tax penalty (which starts at $90, by the way), instead of expecting the rest of society to pay for it when they do need something from the healthcare system. I gotta be honest with you, that does not sound so bad to me either.

From all this, we can work back to the beginning of the column, which states, “it is becoming increasingly clear the law may ill serve the working class more than any other population.”

Well, if by “ill served” we mean being able to get insurance for a pre-existing condition, qualifying for reduced rates, or getting coverage for major health issues that they did not have before, then I agree, we should throw out this no-good socialist law.

Letter to the Editor

Take a stand against our evil government To the editor: I just read Jeremy Scahill’s book “Dirty Wars.” This was over 600 pages of the most unbelievable and horrible killings, tortures and dishonesty by the U.S. government.

I voted for Barack Obama believing he would be a change (positive). Not so; reading the facts of this book tells of the horrible drone attacks around the world that were greatly increased

Gratitude to Conard To the editor: We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Sky Conard and the Green River Watershed Alliance she founded for their work in bringing Altamont in to assess the environmental degradation happening in and around Lake Adger and the Green River.

by Obama’s administration. I request that everyone read this book.

If you have a humane ear for fellow humans, stand unified to change this horrible carnage that is being done by the U.S. government.

Read about U.S. citizens being killed by U.S. drones without any trial or lawful recourse and the innocent relatives and friends being killed with them. The persons on the “kill-list” are not even terrorists or part of the terrorists’ activities; some are journalists that are reporting the bombing of innocent women and children.

We must thank God for journalists

like Jeremy Scahill and others for trying to reveal the truth. On page 520, “Today, decisions on who should live or die in the name of protecting America’s national security are made in secret, laws are interpreted by the president and his advisors behind closed doors and no target is off limits including U.S. citizens.”

Scahill goes into some of the billions of dollars spent by the United States due to these killings by the U.S. government and private contractors paying Afghan farmers billions of dollars because they blew up their village.

You must read his book to get

the facts of the carnage: bodies blown apart with goats, cattle and chickens beyond recognition of what flesh belongs to whom. The villagers make open graves as they cannot piece one human body together; then the government lies about their doing.

Then Congress wants to reduce any welfare for struggling families; as the warfare regime spends trillions upon trillions on war and carnage.

Please, people, wake up and let’s stand together against this evil government.

- Dr. Rita D. Rimmer, Landrum

Sixteen years ago we bought lake front property at Lake Adger, hoping to one day build our dream home. Before our purchase we were shown lake depth readings of 20 to 25 feet deep in front of our lot. This same area is now between 6 and 8 feet deep. In areas across the cove it is already a mud flat, and that mud flat is coming our

way. The public access marina at the mouth of the Green River is barely accessible by Kayak when the water is low, and only by a narrow channel with your prop up when the water is “high.”

The erosion, silting and shoreline destruction of Lake Adger should be a concern to all of us. It affects our property values and our qual-

ity of life.

Lake Adger and the Green River are some of the gems of Polk County, and if we are to be good stewards of the gifts God has given us, we need to be more earnest in protecting this beautiful Eden.

A previous prescribed burn held in Polk County. (photo submitted by Carrie Knox)

PC Ranger to discuss controlled burns at FENCE Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE) will host an information meeting on the North Carolina Forest Service Prescribed Burning Program at the FENCE Center on Aug. 14 from 6:30-7:30 p.m.

This event is open to everyone. If you are curious about how to use prescribed burning for your land management goals or you would like to know how FENCE is using prescribed burns, plan to come and learn.

North Carolina Forest Service Polk County Ranger Brian Rogers will speak about the benefits of prescribed burning and answer any questions about the upcoming FENCE prescribed burn.

“The NC Forest Service uses prescribed burning to assist in timber management, reduce the risk of wildfires, improve wildlife habitat and to prepare areas for tree planting,” Rogers says. “It is a great tool for land management.”

Rogers has been with the NC Forest Service for more than six years. He is a graduate of Haywood Community College where he majored in forestry and fish/wildlife management.

T h e F E N C E Center is located at 3381 Hunting Country Rd. in Tryon.

FENCE is a nonprofit dedicated to p r o v i d i n g Polk County Forest facilities Ranger Brian and focus Rogers.

New handicap lift installed in House of Flags Museum The only House of Flags Museum in America, located in Columbus, received grants from the Polk County Community Foundation to purchase and install a handicap lift providing access to the museum’s second floor presentation area, research library and conference rooms.

The new lift, completed in July 2013, will move up to three people from the first floor to the second floor effortlessly. This project was the final stage in making the newly remodeled museum building fully handicap and wheelchair accessible.

Storage, installation and construction assistance was provided by Pure Country Weavers; Jackson Towing; Polk County Sheriff Department deputies and detectives; Diversified Home Builders; and museum board members.

“This was truly a community project from beginning to end” said Robert Williamson, the museum’s director.

The House of Flags Museum, founded in 2001 in Green Creek, opened in its new location at 33 Gibson Street in Columbus, on Nov. 11, 2011. The first floor of the newly remodeled museum building is a

fully handicap accessible facility comprised of four rooms for historical flag displays, a gift shop and restrooms.

The museum’s second floor is being prepared for a grand opening later this fall.

Additional flag-related collections, rotating historical displays and classes will be held in the new presentation room. The research library will house almost 400 volumes of flag history books and references, some rare out of print volumes and unique collections from the archives of several presidential libraries and museums.

The conference room will provide a meeting space for the museum’s board of directors, committees and other community groups.

Admission to the House of Flags Museum is always free. The museum is open Tuesday and Thursday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Group tours can be set up by arrangement. Call 828-8945640 or visit www.houseofflags.org for more information.

Mill Spring school reunion/ homecoming Oct. 12 In October 2012, a school reunion of classmates held a first school wide reunion/homecoming that was attended by hundreds.

It was voted to make this an annual event and plans have been made for a second Mill Spring High School reunion.

This reunion is scheduled for Oct. 12, 2013 from 2-4 p.m. at the old school building, which is now the Mill Spring Agricultural and Economic Development Center in Mill Spring.

Paper products will be furnished but organizers are requesting that all food be limited to finger type food, anything that could be eaten off a napkin.

Guests are also asked to bring a drink of their choice; cups and ice will be provided.

“The first event was a wonderful day seeing people that we all grew up with, many of us attending Mill Spring school

all 12 grades, reconnecting with our friends and bringing families together we had known all our lives,” said Sandra Tipton Nash.

“This reunion was so well attended, we had graduates from the Class of 1942 through 1959.

This provided us with a listing of attendees. However, we know many people were not registered and we would like to have contact information on them.”

A short program is planned and in addition to the potluck snack food, there will be music and several classmates to bring information about future plans.

Last year, several of the graduating classes had a dinner that evening to continue the celebration of seeing long time friends.

Mark your calendars for Oct. 12 (Saturday). As final plans are put in place, additional information will be forthcoming.

Cover up…

Nikki Talley plus Letters To Abigail take the Summer Tracks’ stage for the fifth concert of the 2013 season at Rogers Park in Tryon on Aug. 9. The event, sponsored by Jerry Steel and WNCW 88.7 Radio, starts at 7 p.m.

The evening begins with Letters To Abigail featuring songs from their just released debut CD titled “Say Anything.”

Hendersonville’s “home town band,” Letters To Abigail is an acoustic three-piece, modernday string band including James Harrell (guitar and vocals), Kelli Redmond (vocals) and Lauren Bandy (bass and vocals). Their multi-genre style, lyrics that stretch emotional boundaries and tight harmonies take you on a journey with a new and refreshing approach to a sweet familiar sound.

Asheville’s Nikki Talley and bass player-guitarist and husband Jason Sharp take the stage next.

A mountain girl with a big voice, critics have compared Talley to an early Liz Phair and Gillian Welch.

However, to leave the comparisons there would be a disservice to her fiery stage performance, lifted by a voice that harkens back to her Appalachian roots and shored up on the edges of Southern rock, country, blues and jazz.

Talley’s energy is as big as her voice and has taken her all over the southeast, playing such prestigious festivals as Magnolia Fest in Live Oak, Fla. and the Shakori Hills Festival in Pittsboro, N.C. She also has had the pleasure of opening for such national acts as Edwin McCain and Susan Tedeschi.

Talley’s release Beautiful Charmer garnered the No. 7 spot in WNCW’s top 20 regional releases of 2010 and 23rd spot in top 100 releases. Their latest release Nikki Talley Live at the Altamont Theater, includes previously unreleased originals as well
