Polk County Commissioners directed interim county manager Marche Pittman to speak with Saluda contractor Don Mintz regarding how much it will cost to put a Saluda Center addition in the dry. Commissioners met Monday, Aug. 5 and heard both support and caution regarding funding some of the addition. The majority of commissioners said the center addition is an emergency, while one commissioner and one Saluda resident cautioned the board about setting precedence for nonprofit funding. Commissioner Tom Pack said he would like to see the county participate on some level of funding and suggested the county pay to put the addition in the dry, such as windows, doors and siding and that the center do finishes such as electrical and plumbing. The Saluda Center deck suffered damage recently because when first constructed, it was built with untreated wood because at the time it was planned to be fully enclosed. The center has since replaced most joists and done repairs and is planning to enclose the deck for additional space. The total estimate for the enclosure is $51,480, with half of that amount, or $25,740 due now for work to begin. Commissioner Ray Gasperson said he supports the center but thinks the county has to really consider reactions from other community centers. Saluda Center board chair Karen Bultman said Saluda’s center serves the same needs as the Meeting Place I (in Columbus) and II (in Green Creek) and it all comes from the hard work of Saluda citizens. “It’s just not feasible to bus

Gasperson suggested a policy on how to respond to nonprofits when asked for funding. Commissioner chair Michael Gage said the Saluda center is a senior center and has to meet certain characteristics to be a senior center, indicating he supports the funding. Commissioner Ted Owens said Saluda has a need and this is an emergency, so he thinks the county needs to take care of it. Saluda resident Ellen Rogers said she is a supporter of the Saluda Senior Center, but she feels strongly that by giving this money, commissioners are beginning a slippery slope. “What comes next?” Rogers asked. “The county doesn’t have unlimited resources.” Rogers said the county has services it has to pay for plus the county pays for the Saluda Senior Center director. She asked if commissioners have received information on how many participants the center has and if they are from Polk or Henderson County. She also asked if Henderson County or a grant source has been approached to ask for funding of the addition. She said after some inquiries, the county might discover that $25,000 could go to other needs.

ESOL teacher Olena Atkins prepares books for students at CampobelloGramling. School starts back in District 1 on Aug. 19. (photo submitted by Paula Brooks)
District 1 schools prep for 2013-2014 school year Students and teachers in Spartanburg District 1 got a preview of what the 2013-2014 school year has in store for them when they came to register on Tuesday, Aug. 6. Schedules, locker assignments and friends not seen since the last day of school, offered a peek of the upcoming school year. Students aren’t the only ones excited about a new school year. Teachers across District 1 alternated between assisting with registration and working in their classrooms. Olena Atkins spent time or-
ganizing books for her students. She will be the English as a Second Language (ESOL) teacher at Campobello-Gramling when school begins. “I’m looking forward to seeing my students. I have worked with ESOL students and Americorps in District 1 over the past few years, but this year I will be exclusively at Campobello-Gramling School,” Atkins said. “Having grown up with Ukrainian as my primary language, I understand the challenge many students face whose (Continued on page 7)

first language is not English. “Children catch on to a new language so quickly and often this new skill is a wonderful asset to their families who are also learning a new language. I love what I do and I know it makes a difference in the lives of my students.” In just a little over a week the first day of classes will begin (Aug. 19), the memories of summer break will begin to fade and the focus will shift to the studentcentered activities taking place in the schools of District One. Academics, fine arts performances, visual arts displays and athletic events will begin. The start of a new school year is always an exciting time. New subjects to teach, new friends to make and new experiences will make the 2013-2014 school year one of the best ever in District One. – article submitted by Paula Brooks

Polk County sends and hosts a number of exchange students each school year. This year, Polk County’s Halle Kuetell, second from right, will study in Switzerland. Kuetell is pictured with other exchange students (left to right): Sonja (Polk County returnee – was in Italy in 2007), Julie (Denmark), Jan (Germany), Mos (Thailand), Tina (Germany), Halle and Sandy (China returnee in Polk County 2007).

Kuettel headed to study abroad in Switzerland by Ann Louise Granger
While her peers shop for school supplies and have their last pool days before another year of at school, one Polk County student is packing her suitcases for a journey to Switzerland to learn in an unfamiliar place.
Halle Kuettel, through AFS Intercultural Programs and a scholarship from the Polk County Community Foundation, will live with a host family for 11 months in a town just a 20-minute train ride outside of the country’s biggest city, Zurich.
“I’m excited for everything, really. I guess mainly just getting to meet new people and learning how different Europe is than America,” said Kuettel. “I’m hoping I can realize how different the world is. The world is more than us here in America.” Lone Krarup, a local AFS representative, said usually between one or two students from this area exchange every year to places all over the world. Kuettel is studying in Switzerland, last year a Polk County student ventured to France. The process to study abroad is a long one. It starts with an interest in different cultures, researching different programs and getting in touch with a local AFS rep, said Krarup. Then you must begin the application process. The application is usually due around March for a program that begins the following summer, and involves paperwork, health certificates, photos and recommendations. “And then you need to have an interview. This is to see if the interest is really yours, or your parents,” said Krarup. Though the application is due in March, students usually start getting their applications together in September of the year prior. Once the application is in, “that curiosity towards other cultures and other people” is what AFS
“I’ve always been really interested in other cultures. I took Chinese when I was younger.” -- Halle Kuettel
looks for, explained Krarup. Applicants also need to be outgoing and self-assure. “It’s not always easy to study abroad, especially when you don’t know the language very well for the first few months, so it’s necessary to be sure of yourself in unfamiliar situations,” Krarup said. Above all AFS “definitely looks for curiosity, drive and personality,” said Krarup. Kuettel fit the bill. “I’ve always been really interested in other cultures. I took Chinese when I was younger,” explained Kuettel. She chose to go to Switzerland because of family linkage; she thought it would be neat to experience a culture she’s connected to. Though Kuettel has family in Switzerland, this is her first time leaving the country besides a trip to the Bahamas. Kuettel said she’s most nervous about the language and school. She’s only studied German for three months, (Continued on page 15)

Terminally ill willing to discuss death three-times more likely to pass away in the hospital than those patients that had made their preferences known. That’s in comparison to 85 percent of patients who had stated their preferences, and were in their place of choice upon their deaths. Interestingly, just 15 percent of patients who did not specify a preference for their final days were unwilling to have the discussion about their choice of locations. Hopefully, what we learn from studies such as this encourages those caring for terminally ill patients and loved ones to feel more comfortable discussing the impending death. Doing that actually provides the patient with control as to how he or she wishes to be cared for, and provides you, the care provider with input as to how you can best help them meet their final wishes. That should be a goal for all of us when providing end of life care.
Many years ago, I found an anonymous quote that I liked so much I memorized it. The quote is, “Imagine how important death must be to have a prerequisite such as life.” For those of us who have attended the death of a loved one or patient, that quote makes a great deal of common sense, and can make the death a little less painful. The reason I bring that up is because too many families and doctors of terminally ill patients, and extremely elderly people are fearful of bringing up the topic of death and dying, and particularly where that person would prefer to be spending his final days at the end of his or her life. What makes that statement somewhat sad is that the reality of many of those situations is that people facing death are far more comfortable discussing their concerns and wishes than are those people in positions of caring for them. In a study done a few years ago in the UK and published in British Medical Journal Supportive and Palliative Care, it was reported that of the 1,127 patients who were under the excellent care of a the Marie Curie Hospice in Edinburgh, 77 percent of them were willing to discuss their preferences for where they wanted to die. As you’d expect, most of us would prefer to die at home, and very few, less than 1percent
would choose to be in a hospital when they died. Among terminally ill people surveyed who had never spent time as an inpatient within a
hospice-related facility, 79 percent indicated a preference for spending their final days at home. However, among those terminally ill patients who had spent any amount of time during their illness as an inpatient in a facility offering hospice, 80 percent indicated that their preference was to remain there for their last days. That may seem puzzling to you, but if you’ve ever had a loved one or patient on hospice, you’re much more aware that towards the end of life the needs of the patient or loved are different. They can be much more complex, and within the palliative care setting, the familiarity with the hospice staff and those administering pain management drugs is often more comforting than dealing with visiting physicians or care providers with whom they are not familiar. Sadly, terminally ill patients who were not asked or given a chance to stipulate where they preferred to die were

sophomore or junior year usually though, because it can be rough missing out on the senior year festivities and turning in college applications from abroad,” said Krarup. Through orientation programs Kuettel is able to meet other students that have been to Switzerland, and she was able to ask the exchange students in her school about studying abroad. This year the U.S. will send
about 1,500 students abroad. According to Krarup, Europe is a very popular place to study among high school students exchanging through AFS, but a new program is being offered that gives a full scholarship to students through the Department of State to study in countries with less common languages.
