Bolling sentenced to 15 to almost 20 years in prison by Leah Justice
We have a New York Direct Sales Connection!
Michael Spencer Bolling, 33, of Tryon pled guilty this week in Polk County Superior Court to several charges in connection with the 2011 robbery of Medicap Pharmacy in Columbus. Bolling was sentenced to 84 to 110 months (about 7-9 years) in prison for robbery with a dangerous weapon and 96 to 125 months (about 8-10 years) for two counts of attempted trafficking opium or heroin, felony possession of schedule II controlled substance and maintaining a vehicle/dwelling/ place for a controlled substance, according to court records. The prison sentences are to run together consecutively. Judge James T. Davis sentenced Bolling during Polk County Superior Court that began on Monday, Aug. 12. The guilty plea and sentence came almost exactly two years following the incident. On Aug. 16, 2011, the Columbus Police Department responded to a report of an armed robbery at Medicap at 10 a.m. Reports were that the suspect had entered the pharmacy wearing a ski mask, stated he had a gun and demanded prescription medication, according to police reports. The suspect left on foot and later fled the scene in a vehicle. The investigation immediately included several law enforcement agencies with officers apprehending Bolling on Will Green Road in Green Creek just before 1 p.m. on Aug. 16, 2011. During the arrest, a portion of the medication taken from the pharmacy and items used in the robbery were recovered. Bolling was originally charged with robbery with a dangerous weapon, two counts of second degree kidnapping,

two counts of trafficking opium and one count of felony maintaining a vehicle for a controlled substance. Bolling was held under a $250,000 bond. Officers identified Bolling with information gained through interviews, then found Bolling’s vehicle at the residence of Anthony Dion Constance, who was also arrested in 2011 but not in connection with the actual robbery. Constance was convicted during the Feb. 20, 2012 superior court session of possession of schedule VI controlled substance, simple possession of schedule IV controlled substance, receive stolen goods/ property and possession of a firearm by a felon. Constance was sentenced to 13 to 16 months at the N.C Department of Corrections with credit for 75 days, according to court records. When officers arrived at Constance’s residence, Bolling had left but was captured within Constance’s neighborhood. The Columbus Police Department was assisted in the 2011 robbery by the Tryon Police Department, Saluda Police Department, Polk County Sheriff’s Office, North Carolina Highway Patrol, Spartanburg County Sheriff ’s Office and North Carolina Department of Probation.

WCCR presents “The Merriment Players,” Inner Sanctum and Jazz Greats The Western Carolinas Classic Radio (WCCR) Club will meet Monday, Aug. 19 at 2 p.m. on the ICC Polk Campus. Bill Drake and Gary Poole (AKA the “Merriment Players”) will give a live performance of radio show skits as performed on radio in the 1920s to the 1950s and range from soap operas to sporting interviews. They have some super funny material for
your enjoyment. Professor Hoyt will offer his great trivia quiz. The radio/TV presentation will feature an Inner Sanctum Mystery, “Port of Regrets” which first aired on TV Jan. 16, 1954. It is only one of four episodes known to exist from this vintage television program. Inner Sanctum aired on radio from 1941 to 1952. Raymond, the
MC, will always be remembered closing the show with “and now it is time to close that squeaking door-goodnight-pleasant dreams everyone.” Lucky Strike asked Columbia Record Productions in the late 1940s or early 1950s to custom press a promotional album of original recordings of unforgettable hits. The community is invited to
come and hear Basie, Brown, Dorsey, Satchmo, Ellington, Callaway, James and others at the most significant never-to-be-replaced moments in their careers. Come and remember the greats. Everyone is welcome and the program is free. It is just a lot of fun recalling “the good old days.” - article submitted by Bob Reynolds

Polk, Spartanburg football to clash in Border Showcase Classic IX by Mark Schmerling
Polk County and Spartanburg high schools rarely meet in football competition, but the two varsity squads will line up against each other tonight, Friday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. to lead off the Border Showcase Classic IX at Gaffney (SC) High School. The event will feature three match-ups, each a complete half game. At 8 p.m., it’s Erwin vs. Byrnes and at 9 p.m., Gaffney takes on Woodruff. The event is the brainchild of Wolverines’ coach Bruce Ollis, now in his 34th year of coaching, and his 12th at Polk. “I have coached in a lot of different places,” said Ollis, “and around a lot of quality players.” For him, it was natural to bring many of those quality players into head-to-head competition. “It was just something I felt would enhance high school football in this area,” he said. He
felt that the Border Showcase would bring together teams that seldom played against each other. Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs hosted the first two events. Since then, hosts have included Byrnes, Crest, Gaffney, T.C. Robertson and Shelby. In addition to giving players and coaches a chance to mix it up with new opponents, it gives, noted Ollis, a chance for each host school to take in some extra revenue. It also gives fans an opportunity to see new talent. The first Border Showcase Classic featured eight teams, including a game between Polk and Broome. “It was a big deal,” said Ollis, looking back on the first Classic. “Each game is a complete half, with referees and three time-outs. It’s a real game for one complete half.” Next Friday evening (Aug. 23), Polk begins its regular season, hosting Shelby at 7:30 p.m.

St. Luke Hospital’s eighth Ache Around the Lake Sept. 21 Even in these sweltering summer temperatures, runners and walkers in the Polk County area are in training for the eighth an-
nual Ache Around the Lake Run/ Walk — a benefit for St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation set for Saturday, Sept. 21 at 8 a.m. at Lake
Lanier near Tryon. Ache Around the Lake is a community event that includes The Ache (8K or 5 miles) or The
Ouch (a two-mile fun run). The Ache was founded as a (Continued on page 16)

charity foot race in 2006 by two area runners — Scarlette Tapp and Katie Malone. The founders lived and often ran at Lake Lanier, the site of this annual, 8K, USAT&F-certified race and the accompanying Ouch fun walk. The Ache has become known as one of the ‘biggest little races’ in the Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina racing circuit — boasting gorgeous mountain lake views, moderate weather and a challenging USAT&F-certified course. Local elites, power walkers and weekend racers enjoy this challenging race in the Carolina Foothills each fall. In 2012, there were 300 race participants and 30 race sponsors. The Ache 8K course starts on Butter Street, sloping downhill. It then crosses over the dam and up a short, steep hill referred to by local athletes as the “Grunt Hill.” The run follows the lake in a counter-clockwise direction; winding around 5 miles of continuous lake road. This 4.97mile certified course has many inclines and switchbacks. The last half mile is relatively flat. Scenic views of this hidden mountain lake are visible throughout much of the race. The Ache is a challenging course for runners. The Ouch 2-mile course starts with the Ache on Butter Street. After coming down the first hill and onto Lake Shore Drive together, the Ouch participants split from the Ache racers by staying straight on East Lakeshore Drive. Ouch participants enjoy a very flat first half mile where they will be rewarded with beautiful views. After a short gradual hill, they bear left and continue to climb. Their ascent is followed by a quick right back onto Butter Street and a descent to Lanier Drive. Through this segment of the Ouch, the views are simply breathtaking. Runners then hit a short, steep downhill before bearing left on Lakeshore Drive and heading up the final hill — a

“Since 2007, proceeds from the Ache charity race event have helped St. Luke’s Hospital upgrade its radiology department to digital technology, as well as upgrade surgery, physical therapy, occupational therapy and pharmacy units. final reminder of why this race is called the Ouch. The walkers/ runners then take a right toward the dam and cross the finish line. While the proceeds of the first race were donated to the American Cancer Society, the race soon found a permanent recipient in the local hospital, St. Luke’s in Columbus. Since 2007, proceeds from the Ache charity race event have helped St. Luke’s Hospital upgrade its radiology department to digital technology, as well as upgrade surgery, physical therapy, occupational therapy and pharmacy units. This year, participation in the Ache Around the Lake or Ouch race will support the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) lab at St. Luke’s Hospital in Columbus and the goal is to raise $30,000 to help cover the costs of the simulated kitchen, tub, shower, curb and vehicle, as well as support other projects throughout the ADL Lab. Activities of daily living are the self-care activities an individual usually performs in his or her home or common outdoor environments.

Foothills Humane Society receives PetSmart Charities Grant Foothills Humane Society (FHS) recently received notification of an awarded two-year grant from PetSmart Charities. This grant focuses on dog and cat sterilizations. The grant offers the opportunity for very low cost spay-neuter animal surgeries for pet owners residing within particular local zip codes. The grant also offers free spay-neuter animal surgeries to free-roaming cats. The latter free sterilizations fall under “Po-Kitties,” a well-known program offered at FHS for feral and stray cats. Beginning in August, FHS is offering $10 spay-neuter surgeries for dogs and cats living in the 28782, 28722, 28756, 28773, 29356, 29322 zip code areas, through this grant from PetSmart Charities®. Residents living in these areas can call FHS at 828863-4444 for more information.
For free-roaming cat sterilization at no cost or for more information on “Po-Kitties” program, call Dana Mayer at 828-894-2088. “This is a really great opportunity and one that will end when the grant monies run out,” says Selena Coffey, executive director. “We really want to see pet owners in the impacted zip codes take advantage of these low-cost spay/ neuter surgeries to help reduce the pet population in our service area.” Foothills Humane Society, located at 989 Little Mountain Road, Columbus is a 501(c)3 organization that relies heavily on grant funding and donations to offer low-cost sterilization services for pet owners in the community.

Rice pudding and the right place and time to help I remember reading somewhere (I think it was Shirley Maclaine’s, ‘Out On A Limb’) that “there are no accidents in life.” Though should you rear-end someone and use this as your defense to your insurance company, you’ll probably find it unsuccessful. However, the orchestration of Providence often leaves me breathless. My weekly lunch date is my elderly mother. Beginning in May we enjoy enticing excursions known as ‘car picnics.’ As mom is no longer steady on her pins, I fold her walker and stow it in the backseat, pack a surprise lunch and off we drive to her choice of scenic spots. “Where shall we eat today, Mom?” I asked, helping her fasten her seatbelt, “Lake, river, pastoral or all of the above?” “I think ... lake.” she replied. Always grateful to the Carolina landscape, offering so many lovely places within a few minutes drive, we wound our way to one of two local lakes, pulled right up the shore and let its tranquility spread itself before our eyes.

full.” But let me tell you, after a couple of strawberries, she dove into her pudding and it was gone by the time I had re-wrapped the ham salad. The loathsome rice pudding remained ignored, unopened, and shoved back into the tote. As we leisurely made our way back home, I stopped for gas and took note of a thin and dejected looking man sitting on an outside bench. His hands and arms and hair were dirty, his T-shirt dank and sweat stained. I left the gas nozzle inside the car and, pulling the tote out of the back seat, strolled over to him and said, “Hey, do you like ham salad?” His eyes lit up and he nodded. “Great,” I replied and handed the other half of the sandwich to him. “My mom only wanted part of it and I hate throwing away food if somebody wants it.” Before I had even turned around to make my way back to the car, he had hunched over, wolfing it down. “I think God put us right here, at this exact moment, to provide for that man.” I said to Mom, after replacing the gas nozzle to the pump and sliding into the driver’s seat. “He looked so hopeless and he was obviously very hungry.” “Yes.” she nodded. “And actually...” I said, realizing I had more to give, and popped back out of the car with the tote and approached him for a final time. “I’ve got some rice pudding here, too,” I offered, pulling out the untouched tub. His stomach considered and then his brow telegraphed his reply. “Nah, “ he said, “hate the stuff.” It still sits in the fridge at my house. Paul won’t touch it, either. But I still believe my mother and I were purposely led to feed that man that day. Although it’s pretty rare for God to get the dessert wrong, I should think.

• Achison
(continued from page 20)
Australia, Achison developed a passion for American blues music and taught himself to play on a beat-up instrument he discovered ‘under the stairs’ of the family home. Achison began playing music professionally in his father’s dance band at the age of 13. He switched to bass at 15, playing mostly jazz. In his early 20s, he moved to Melbourne and was hired as lead guitarist with bluesman ‘Dutch’ Tilders. He formed his own band in 1995 and began travelling internationally. Achison has since toured the USA, UK and Australia many times releasing over a dozen albums. Along the way he has won several awards including the ‘Albert King Award’ in Memphis and Australia’s ‘Chain’ blues award for best band. In 2011, Achison made Truefire’s “100+ Gifted Guitarists You Should Know” list and was named ‘Official Patron’ of the Melbourne Blues Appreciation Society. He lives in Melbourne, Australia and continues to record and tour regularly. Martin Anderson, Music Director for WNCW radio in Spindale, N.C. says, “Achison’s 2009 album One Ticket, One Ride was the No. 1 pick among WNCW

It’s nice to live where your word and hugs still count “Cherish your solitude. Take trains by yourself to places you have never been. Sleep out alone under the stars. Learn how to drive a stick shift. Go so far away that you stop being afraid of not coming back. Say no when you don’t want to do something.” – Eve Ensler This column nearly started to become a rant about more rain and how my basement and crawlspaces flooded, the ensuing mess and despair, with enough whine to compete with bloodthirsty mob of mosquitoes. How I wanted to say, “NO” to even looking underneath the house, let alone tackling a mopping job. Instead, after a night of tossing and turning, worrying and pacing, I got up and made coffee. River came over to get his morning ear rub; the sun peeped out. Filling the hummingbird feeder, we went outside to greet our bat friend peeping out from the porch eaves, inhaled the new morning. A shimmering spider web floating on magic wings promised things would be better. For comfort, I thought about last Friday. A friend from Sarasota, Fla. stopped by on the way from Waynesville to Florida, so we headed to downtown Saluda for lunch and a 50th Anniversary Coon Dog Day T-shirt. I’d picked up a T-shirt at Thompson’s Store a couple weeks ago and asked Judy Ward if I could return it if my friend found it to be the wrong size. Sure, she said. So, in the store we went, the shirt in hand: no bag, no receipt. Busy at the register, Judy smiled at us and I held the shirt up: need to exchange this for a different size I pointed. She nodded, and off we went to find the right size. My friend was amazed that there was no hassle, no argument, no problem. This is Saluda, I said: we know each other — and like family, we put up with each other — look how everyone has put up with me. Judy knows I wouldn’t bring back a worn shirt or pull a fast one on her. Plus, she knows where I live for goodness sakes; I’ve got to be on good behavior around this town.

HOPE For Paws dog kennel up and running at Steps to HOPE After many hours of planning and a full day of exhausting work, the HOPE For Paws dog kennel at Steps to HOPE is ready for use. This kennel will enable petowning victims of domestic violence to flee their abusive relationships without fear of harm being inflicted on their family pets when left behind. Sadly, pets are often targeted by abusers in an attempt at control or retaliation. Dr. DeHaven Batchelor, an veterinarian with an equine specialty who operates the Central Florida Equine Hospital in Sanford, Fla., and his wife Deborah, a breeder of best in show winning Smooth Collies for 30 years, designed the kennel and donated the pen, walls and gates – as well as a full day’s labor erecting the kennel. The Batchelors live in Tryon and Florida where they enjoy
gardening and remodeling. Friends of the Batchelors, Dave and Phyllis Schwerdtfeger of Columbus, delivered the fencing and helped with the foundation. Rounding out the team of volunteers were Larry Wassong and Heidi Mendez, both members of Steps to HOPE’s board of directors. Mendez also donated all the lumber, hardware and stonework needed for the kennel. Henson’s Inc. of Landrum generously delivered foundation materials free of charge. Foothills Humane Society donated dog beds, kennels, dishes, food, collars and other pet necessities. Steps to HOPE feels confident that the addition of this pet kennel will open the doorway to safety for victims who are hesitant to leave their pets behind in order to seek shelter from abuse. – article submitted by Debra Backus

ing on Okinawa, where he remained until Japan surrendered in August 1945. Following the surrender, dad’s division spent five months on Tientsin, China, to thwart any immediate communist Russian ambitions. While he did mention a few entanglements with Communist troops, he also had some lighter stories. I remember him telling about finding a tiny bar in China where they served real beefsteaks. Excited, and hungrily anticipating a meal none of the guys had enjoyed since leaving the states, he and some buddies wasted no time in getting to the place. Their plates came out of the kitchen, sizzling and fragrant. The steaks were placed in front of them and, in honor and thanks to the Marines who had protected their village, the servers cracked “Hundred YearOld Eggs” that had been buried
in the ground, over the meat. Well, you can imagine the rest of the story. Gathering information for this small tribute, I sorted through dad’s box of photos and letters home, hoping to find his reflections on the war. The only thing I found was one page he’d written for a family history diary for Gorden, telling what I’ve written here. His letters contained only thanks for packages from home, assurances to his mother that he would be fine, and questions about family and friends. I was disappointed to find no musings or deep thoughts. Then I realized those letters spoke volumes about his thoughts: all of them for home and family. Whether at King’s Mountain, Gettysburg, Japan, Europe, Korea, Vietnam or the Middle East, home and family is the deepest longing our troops have always taken with them. Let’s honor those who served, this November and always.

Fall film series focusing on Tryon heyday This fall, the Tryon Fine Arts Center, through a grant for a projector from the Polk County Community Foundation, will be showing a series of films that have one unifying association â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Town of Tryon. The series will be held biweekly on Tuesday evenings beginning Sept. 17. A number of celebrities visited Tryon in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, many of whom were connected, in one way or another, with Hollywood. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice B. Flynn were at the center of this social scene. Maurice was born in Connecticut and attended Yale University, where he played football and, according to legend, acquired the nickname Lefty for being a left-footed kicker. In 1913, while still a student, he married a socially unacceptable chorus girl and, even though the couple split up after just 11 days, he was expelled from the university because of his indiscretion. In 1916, Lefty marched down the aisle again, this time with Blanche Shove Palmer, with
whom he had two children, including a son, John â&#x20AC;&#x153;Budâ&#x20AC;? Palmer who earned fame as a professional basketball player and as a sportscaster. Lefty moved to Hollywood in 1919, where between 1920 and 1927 he appeared in heroic roles in more than 40 silent films. While still an actor, Lefty and his third wife, Nora Langhorne Phipps, purchased Little Orchard, a residence that still exists in Tryon. Tryon had been previously visited by members of the Langhorne family from Virginia, of whom the most notable member, Nancy, found her fame and fortune in England, becoming Lady Astor and the first woman member of the British Parliament. Nancy continued visiting her sister Nora during the Flynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s years in Tryon, as did Noraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter from a previous marriage, a woman who would become the celebrated British actress and comedienne, Joyce Grenfell. Other frequent guests at Little Orchard, as well as Oak Hall Hotel and the Pine Crest Inn, were

Music therapy working for patients with Alzheimer’s Savvy Senior Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about music therapy for Alzheimer’s patients? I’m helping my dad take care of my 80-year-old mother who has mid-stage Alzheimer’s disease and thought it might be something worth trying. How do we proceed? - Unmusical Mary Dear Mary, Music has amazing power, especially for people with Alzheimer’s disease. Studies have shown that listening to familiar music can significantly improve mood and alertness, reduce agitation and can help with a number of behavioral issues common in the middle-stages of the disease. Even in the latestages of Alzheimer’s a person may be able to tap a beat or sing lyrics to a song from childhood. Sitting and listening to music together can also provide a way for you and your dad to connect and bond with your mom, even after she stops recognizing your names and faces. Here are a few tips to help you create a music therapy program for your mom. Create a playlist Your first step is to identify the music that’s familiar and enjoyable to your mom. Does she like jazz, classical or Frank Sinatra? What songs make her want to get up and dance? Then go back to the era when she was a teenager through their early 20s. Research shows that music during this time period seems to get the best response and triggers the most memories. If you need some help creating a playlist, the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function provides a suggested list of top songs by era and genre on its website at musictherapy.imnf. org – click on “Outpatient Services,” then on “Top 10’s For Memory.”
The American Music Therapy Association offers a national directory of more than 6,000 therapists at musictherapy.org to help you find someone in your area. The website pandora.com will also tailor a radio station to match your mom’s musical taste when you select an artist, song or genre. And musicandmemory. org offers a free guide to creating a personalized playlist. You can also get help from a music therapist. The American Music Therapy Association offers a national directory of more than 6,000 therapists at musictherapy.org to help you find someone in your area. To keep things fresh, it’s best to create a diverse playlist of numerous artists, with no more than five to 10 songs per artist. It’s also important to keep tweaking their playlist. Every week or so, ask your mom which songs she likes and which ones are just so-so. Remove the so-so ones, and build on the successful ones so you end up with 100 or 200 songs that all resonate. Music delivery There are a number of ways you can deliver your mom’s favorite music: a digital listening device, CD player, a computer or tablet, or even an old record player. If you don’t have any music and are on a tight budget, check with your local public library. It may have CD selections you can check out. Digital listening devices like an iPod or MP3 player are the most convenient and widely used options among music therapists for delivering music, (Continued on page 35)

St. Luke’s employee signs recording contract David Coffin, food service director at St. Luke’s Hospital (SLH), has been active in Christian music ministry in North Carolina and South Carolina for almost 20 years, including the 11 years he has worked at SLH. During that time, he has performed and lead worship at many churches in the area both as a solo act and as part of the Christian rock band MSF (Mustard Seed Faith). Coffin has also promoted many Christian concerts in Rutherford and Polk counties, including such acts as Building 429, Todd Agnew, Kevin Thornton, Jill Parr and Harris III. After taking a nearly twoyear sabbatical in which God gave him rest and refreshment, Coffin is ready to get back to the ministry God has called him to do. He plans to launch a comeback with Faith Music Group (FMG), a studio/music label in Sanford, N.C. On Aug. 1, David and FMG agreed to a recording and booking contract. Coffin’s heart for genuine worship is evident in his presentation of music, testimony, and scriptural reference. His desire is to share the struggles and triumphs of his own life, so that God might use him to teach young people and inspire older generations. Melissa Nance of FMG says, “David will begin preparations for studio work for a new recording project in August. We are excited to work with such great talent and someone who has a heart for ministry. We expect an extraordinary journey; stay tuned.” Booking requests can be sent to booking@davidcoffinonline.com or by calling Faith Music Group at 919-290-4318.
