Polk to revisit water extension policy

by Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners decided to amend its waterline extension policy saying the current policy is not set in stone and a couple sections leave the decision of whether or not to extend a line up to the board of commissioners.

Commissioners met Aug. 19 and heard from commissioner Ted Owens who reviewed waterline extensions the

county has done and the costs involved to the county and the residents, businesses or organizations who received the waterline.

One point of discussion that continues to surface during commissioner meetings is the county running a waterline to the Green Creek Community Center.

Tryon depot trees staying for now

by Leah Justice

After an arborist recommended the Town of Tryon remove trees from the Depot Plaza parking lot as part of its renovation project, town council voted to leave the trees until absolutely necessary.

Commissioner George Baker said during a town meeting Aug. 20 that the trees have been there since 1976 and they may not be in the greatest shape but they are still there. He said they provide a tremendous amount of shade and there’s no reason to remove them right now.

“I guarantee how they will not survive, and that is if we chop them down,” said Baker.

Tryon is currently working on a timeline for the Depot Plaza park, which will be funded by a N.C. Main Street Solutions Fund (MSSF) grant.

Aborist Dale Epperson surveyed the trees and said the five oak trees in the parking lot will be damaged when the new parking

“I would be very upset if someone came in and chopped them down because they were preparing to do something.”

lot is installed.

The town plans to replace the trees during the project. Tryon Economic Development Director Crys Armbrust said he’d like to see them replaced with caliper noble trees.

Mayor Alan Peoples said the initial recommendation was to take them down and a second arborist has recommended the town take them down. He said the plan is to remove five of the trees and replace them somewhere.

Baker said he doesn’t see why

Trees outside the depot. (photo by Gwen Ring)

the town has to be in a hurry to remove the trees.

He said when the town is ready to do the rest of the project, the town can remove the trees then.

“I would be very upset if someone came in and chopped them

down because they were preparing to do something,” Baker said.

Commissioner Wim Woody also said he was in favor of keeping the trees, saying when the town is ready to remove them it will cost the same.

• Water policy (continued from page 1)

kim@sheelahclarkson.com www.sheelahclarkson.com

The county paid for the extension in full. Owens said the cost was $17,307 with commissioner chair Michael Gage asking if there was no participation fee.

Owens said his source told him the community center did not ask for a waterline, but that commissioner Ray Gasperson asked them if they wanted one.

Gasperson read from the April 26, 2010 minutes, where there was strong support from the community center’s board of directors to have public water.

Owens continued with what waterline extensions the county has completed, including some subdivisions that paid the full costs.

The most recent subdivision extension was Meadowbrook, off Hwy. 108 between Columbus and Mill Spring, that Owens called a unique extension. Owens said even though Meadowbrook was done on a private road, the county paid 60 percent of the costs.

“So the water policy is not set in stone,” Gage said.

Owens suggested the county look at the policy and ask its attorney to draft changes that make the policy more specific. Owens said particularly sections 12 and 13 of the policy leave it open for commissioners to decide.

Section 12 states, “Polk County reserves the right, subject to available funding, to extend waterlines to any part of the county or to use other water sources, and to pay the cost of so doing from its general

Friday, August 30, 2013

fund, from loans or grants from the state of North Carolina or the United States or any other funds that may become available.”

And section 13 says, “Connection to existing Polk County waterlines or any extension thereof shall be subject to payment of then prevailing rates and charges for water service, including connection fees, impact fees and participation fees. Polk County shall have the right to establish such rates, fees and charges in its sole and absolute discretion.”

Owens also said for example, if Red Fox subdivision asked the county for water, it would cost the county “plenty of money.”

Commissioner Tom Pack said he wants the policy to specifically say whether the county will extend lines on private roads or just public roads.

Polk adopted a waterline extension policy on June 8, 2009 that says the county entered into an agreement on July 7, 2008 with the Broad River Water Authority and the Inman Campobello Water District (ICWD) for the construction of a waterline across Polk County to the ICWD. The agreement includes that Polk County will have available for distribution from the waterline crossing Polk County to its citizens up to 500,000 gallons of finished water per day the first year and 600,000 gallons per day of finished water after the second year.

According to the county’s extension policy, it was never meant to be permanent as the county at (water policy continued on page 8)

the time was in the process of adopting a comprehensive plan, which was going to include provisions for waterline extensions.

“Wheras, Polk County is in the process of adopting a comprehensive policy regarding waterline extensions as part of its new comprehensive plan, but in the meantime needs an interim waterline extension policy to address pending requests and additional requests expected to be submitted prior to completion and adoption of the comprehensive plan,” states the waterline extension policy; “and WHEREAS, the Polk County Board of Commissioners hereby adopts the following interim waterline extension policy.”

The policy includes that existing residents and businesses can petition the county for a waterline extension and if water and funding is available and the county determines that the project is in the best interest of the county, the county will proceed with obtaining estimates from a licensed engineer.

“The county will provide the cost estimate to the residents or businesses. If the residents or businesses decide they want to proceed, the residents or businesses will enter into a written agreement with the county wherein the residents or businesses will, as a group, agree to pay 40 percent of the actual cost of the line, its design and its construction,” states the policy. “The cost of the line shall include all costs, including, but not limited to, Polk County’s

References Available

Friday, August 30, 2013

costs of obtaining the preliminary cost estimate and all engineering, design, legal, permitting, oversight and construction costs actually incurred by the county in designing, permitting and constructing the line and cost of obtaining rights-of-way and easements for the line.”

Tap fees to waterline extensions have also been a topic of discussion amongst commissioners particularly after the county decided to give a discount on tap fees for anyone in the county who can tap onto a county waterline until the end of the year.

The water policy says the tap fee shall be $1,200 for anyone who participates from the time of the original petition and $3,000 for anyone who wants to participate after construction. The discounted tap fee until the end of the year is $700.

“To encourage existing residents and businesses to participate in each waterline extension project from the time of the original petition, residents or businesses along the waterline extension who participate in the 40 percent cost share shall only be required to pay a tap fee of $1,200,” states the policy. “Residents or businesses who do not participate in the cost share, but who wish to connect to the line shall be required to pay a tap fee of $3,000 in addition to any other fees and charges. The county reserves the right to increase these tap fees.”

Commissioners decided to put changes to the water policy on its next agenda, which is scheduled for Sept. 9.

Letter to the Editor

Dangers of mosquitos

To the editor: On Saturday, Aug. 10 we took our 4-year-old son to Mission Memorial with a high fever, nausea, some confusion and severe head pain.

Both his pediatrician and a doctor at another hospital had previously diagnosed him with pharyngitis/strep the Thursday evening before. All signs pointed to strep.

As it turns out, our healthy, active 4-year-old had encephalitis, which occurs from the La Crosse virus they suspect he had. Mosquitoes transmit it. Typically, the doctors and nurses at Mission have seen La Crosse virus in the upper counties with most cases coming from Transylvania and Haywood counties. Our son’s case was the first they had seen

Friday, August 30, 2013

from the Tryon/Columbus/Mill Spring area. There is no treatment for La Crosse other than monitoring fluids, watching out for seizures and treating the extreme pain. We watched our son struggle with his symptoms for almost a week.

After the fifth day in the hospital he had made a major turn around and was able to go home.

We appreciate our community of friends, churches and strangers who have prayed for us, sent cards, food and well wishes. We are blessed to be surrounded by such caring folks.

Please spray your child with bug spray that contains DEET. As the doctors told us, it is the only way to keep the mosquitoes at bay. We hope no other citizens come down with this terrible virus, but should they, hopefully our story will help you identify the cause.

Outreach to open expanded food pantry Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry will formally dedicate its new pantry expansion in a ribbon cutting ceremony on Friday, Sept. 6 at 12:15 p.m.

An open house will be held during the afternoon until 4 p.m.

“Thanks to a generous $50,000 grant from the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF), this additional 1,080-square-foot building is allowing Outreach to increase its capacity to meet the growing demands of our community,” said Joe Epley, president of the Outreach board of directors. “Without the generosity of this community, Outreach could not succeed in its mission of helping families in need.”

In addition to the expansion funding from PCCF, Timken Corporation provided a grant for new shelving for pantry operations and improvements to the parking lot.

“This expansion did not come too soon,” said executive director Carol Newton. “Already in the

first seven months of this year, the demand for help has increased 29 percent over the same period as last year. In addition, we are providing more than 325 Polk County school children with nutritional meals every weekend through our ‘Feed a Kid’ program. That number will increase this school year.”

The new space, and improvements to the old pantry space, has relieved congested working conditions, provided more adequate space to stock up on food and allowed Outreach to provide double the annual amount of everyday necessities not covered by clients’ food stamps, Newton said.

Past president Connie Lomax, who chairs Outreach’s building and grounds committee, said, “We have been bursting at the seams with more than four programs operating out of our pantry. The newest one started in 2011 when we began participating in a program for nonprofits through the Spartanburg,

SC Wal-Mart Distribution Center when the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church Outreach Committee funded Outreach’s membership.

Through this program, Outreach dispensed an additional $50,000 in vital supplies to our eligible clients last year. We could have done more, but just didn’t have the space to put items. Thanks to the Polk County Community Foundation, now we can.

“With the additional space, our Polk County residents in need can receive an estimated annual increase of more than $43,000 in necessary household and personal care items.

This equals a direct annual savings of more than $43,000 for our clients who will not need to use their limited resources to acquire these goods.”

Not only does Outreach now have more space, but also a more energy efficient building, Lomax added.

MANNA FoodBank, which

provides most of the food received

by Outreach, provided an additional $5,000 refrigeration unit to supplement the existing refrigeration.

Brady Trakas Architects of Tryon designed the expansion and Don Kurant was the general contractor who built the addition and renovated the existing pantry space. The electrical contractor was Lake Lure Electric. Heating and cooling was provided by All Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning.

“We can’t praise Dean Trakas and Don Kurant enough for the quality workmanship and for going the extra mile with special attention to getting the maximum usefulness for our investment,” said Newton.

Outreach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1991. The organization’s mission is to provide compassionate assistance to Polk County residents who are unable to provide for their basic life needs. For more information, visit www.tboutreach.org or call 828-894-2988.

Dotson family members after a win at Greer Dragway are, left to right, Parker, Travis, Will and Amber Dotson. (photos submitted by Renee Burnett)

Racing news from Dotson family The weather this racing season has not been in drivers’ favor, to say the least. Despite most of the month of July being a wash out, the month of August is looking up for the Dotson Racing Team.

Parker Dotson of Saluda was able to pick up a win Aug. 3 at the Greer Dragway. He also was runner-up Aug. 10 at the Greer Dragway. Parker, a current sixth grader at Polk County Middle School (PCMS), was driving his Maddox Race Car junior dragster. His car runs 8.90 seconds at 75 mph on the 1/8th mile track. With two finals in two weeks, it has moved Parker into second place in the points standings.

Aug. 24 at the Greer Dragway was not Right: Callie Burnett with her ironman trophy.

just a regular points race. It was a chance for the winner to take home an IHRA ironman trophy as well.

Callie Burnett of Mill Spring was able to pick up that win and bring home the ironman. Callie, also a current sixth grader at PCMS, was driving her Maddox Race Car junior dragster as well. Her car runs 8.90 seconds at 71 mph. Callie is currently third in the points standings.

The points races will end on Sept. 14 for the Greer Dragway, but will continue to have races each and every Saturday until Thanksgiving. The gates open at noon.

Edgar to lead reminiscence series at Laurel Hurst The Akula Foundation, a New Orleans-based non-profit dedicated to providing resources to the greater community, has engaged local resident, Robin A. Edgar, to conduct monthly reminiscence workshops, free of charge, at Laurel Hurst in Columbus.

The interactive group sessions are open to the public and will be held the first Tuesday of every month from 1-2 p.m., starting Sept. 3.

A professional reminiscence workshop facilitator, Edgar is the author of In My Mother’s Kitchen: An Introduction to the Healing Power of Reminiscence.

Using the senses to recall, record and celebrate significant memories, she helps participants recognize and value the individuals and incidents that shaped their lives.

This unique creative process is an effective tool in coping with loss or change due to illness such as Alzheimer’s or the death of a loved one. It also aids in long-term care planning and has proven to increase feelings of togetherness and reduce apa-

thy and confusion as it encourages self-expression and social interact.

As part of its goal to assist with quality in end of life as well bereavement and longterm care planning, the Akula Foundation is excited to partner with Edgar to offer reminiscence workshops for professionals as well as group therapy sessions for family caregivers and residents in eldercare and hospice organizations throughout the country.

In addition to the monthly sessions at Laurel Hurst, the Foundation is sponsoring Edgar to facilitate a Healing Power of Reminiscence three-hour seminar for professionals on Oct. 25 at the Carolina Region’s Annual Social Work Conference for the National Healthcare Corporation.

For more information about Akula Foundation, go to www. akulafamilyfoundation.com. If you are interested in attending the free monthly workshops at Laurel Hurst, contact Jennifer Thompson at 828-894-3900.

Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church to host community health fair A health fair for the community has been planned for Sunday, Sept. 8, from noon to 5 p.m. at the Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church’s Morgan Center.

A free meal will be served to everyone who participates.

Everyone is invited to come to this event.

“The purpose of the health fair is to give people an opportunity to find out if they might have a health condition that could be reversed and live a happy, healthier life,” said Lorna Dever. “Many people cannot afford to visit a doctor, and underlying health problems go unchecked. Early knowledge of such things as high blood sugar or blood pressure could change ones’ life. Our goal is to help people learn early of possible medical problems that can be diagnosed with a visit to their primary care physician and allow them to live healthier and longer.”

There will be stations set up around the interior of the Morgan

Center for people to meander checks for attendees.

In more recent times, the rusting pipe was replaced by a Vshaped wooden trough. A wooden bridge spanning the creek gave way to the ravages of time and age, and a tree was felled for use in walking across.

When the Dark Corner Films production crew and I videotaped a DVD documentary segment at Poinsett’s Bridge four years ago, we planned to do a segment at Turner’s Spring on our way back to the studios.

We arrived at the site, loaded ourselves with video cameras and supporting equipment and nervously walked across the “foot-log” to the other side of the creek...only to discover that 12 years of drought had depleted the aquifer feeding the spring. Not a drop of water was coming from the trough.

Since that time, the Upcountry has experienced a welcomed period of moisture, which has begun

With more than 23 inches of rain in the past three months washing away steep driveways in this part of the Corner though, I’m going to check out the old pull out at the spring location next time I go to Poinsett’s Bridge to see if it just might be flowing again.

She does not belong to Dr. Picone but to a friend and breeder who said if she can be helped there’s a good home for her in Connecticut. Joe contacted me and I spoke with Nadia on the phone and we had x-rays sent to Dr. Allen at UVS, who is at the top of my network pyramid. I’ll take Holly up to see my friend Keith on Wednesday morning and place her in his magical hands. I am always anxious to spend some time with my good friend and I can’t tell you how many of my precious kids he’s

While Lil’ Bear was visiting with Holly and big sweet Zambo, Dr. Picone and I spoke.

“Joe, you’re responsible for me having the first painless night of sleep in years, but I’m doing this for Holly, not for you.”

The sweet man just gave me a nod of understanding that told me all I needed to know. I love being around people whose heart is in the right place, it is very, very good for my psyche, not to mention what it means for my kids.

Thanks for listening.

Shingles vaccine protects seniors, covered by Medicare

NEIGHBOR GOODSTORE

Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the shingles vaccine? I just turned 65 and have been thinking about getting vaccinated, but would like to know how effective it is and how it’s covered

by Medicare.

- Afraid of needles Dear Afraid, Older adults who get the shingles vaccine can actually cut their risk of getting the painful condition in half, and those that do happen to get it are likely to have a milder case if they’ve been inoculated. Here’s what else you should know about the shingles vaccine, along with how it’s covered by Medicare.

Shingles overview Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a burning, blistering, often excruciating skin rash that affects about 1 million Americans each year. The same virus that causes chickenpox causes it.

What happens is the chickenpox virus that most people get as kids never leaves the body.

It hides in the nerve cells near the spinal cord and, for some people, emerges later in the form of shingles.

In the U.S., one out of every three people will develop shingles during their lifetime. While anyone who’s had chickenpox can get shingles, it most commonly occurs in people over age

60, along with people who have weakened immune systems. But you can’t catch shingles from someone else.

Early signs of the disease include pain, itching or tingling before a blistering rash appears several days later, and can last up to four weeks. The rash typically occurs on one side of the body, often as a band of blisters that extends from the middle of your back around to the breastbone. It can also appear above an eye or on the side of the face or neck.

In addition to the rash, more than one-third who get shingles go on to develop severe nerve pain that can last for months or even years.

Vaccination coverage The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone age 60 and older should get a one-time shingles vaccination – called Zostavax.

Even if you’ve already had shingles, you still need the vaccination because reoccurring cases are possible. See zostavax.com or call 877-974-4645 for more information or to locate a vaccine provider in your area.

The vaccine is also very safe.

For most people, the worst side effect is mild redness or arm soreness.

You also need to know that Medicare covers the shingles (SAVVY SENIOR continued on page 25)

Polk County Extension Center offering fall gardening classes in September The Polk County Extension Center is offering fall gardening classes beginning in September.

The classes will cover lawn care, landscape trees and ornamental shrubs. The classes will be free and are open to interested citizens.

Unique to these classes, the presentations will be offered in two stages. There will be an outdoors portion of the class from 5:30-6:30 p.m. and a lecture format from

7-8 p.m. Plans include using the grounds of Polk County High School as part of the learning experience. The first 13 participants will have transportation provided and others will need to carpool. There will be some walking required for the outside segments.

Thursday, Sept. 12 - Lawn Care 101 Thursday, Sept. 19 - Landscape Trees

Thursday, Sept. 26 - Ornamental Shrubs “We believe this format will give participants an opportunity to observe which plants thrive in Polk County, plus give them some gardening tips on how to help them get plants to survive in our unpredictable climate,” said John Vining, Polk County Extension Director.

The presentations will end each

week after an hour, but for those who have specific questions on the night’s topic, there will be a question and answer session after the lectures.

The classes are limited to 25 participants. To sign up in advance, call the Polk County Extension Center at 894-8218 and ask for Sarah or Dot. – article submitted

give you the shot. You are only responsible for paying the plan’s approved copay at the time you get vaccinated, which usually runs around $60 to $80.

But, you need to make sure you follow your plan’s rules in order to keep your out-of-pocket costs down.

If you’re vaccinated at a drugstore, check to make certain it’s in your Part D plan pharmacy

network. Otherwise, the shot will cost you more than your usual copay.

If you’re inoculated in a doctor’s office, check to make sure the office can bill your plan or at least can work through a drugstore in your plan’s network.

Otherwise, you’ll have to pay the entire bill up front and then claim reimbursement from your plan.

Just to be safe, call your Part

D drug plan ahead of time and ask which pharmacies and doctors in your area you can use to receive the shingles vaccine at the plan’s regular copay.

World-class music with Achison and Bramblett perform Sept. 6 Friday, Sept. 6, Geoff Achison and Randall Bramblett will bring first-class performances to center-stage at Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) for the second year in a row while showcasing locally-built custom Lichty Guitars.

Acclaimed Australian blues/ roots musician Geoff Achison and southern singer/ songwriter Randall Bramblett are set to rock the house again at TFAC. At the June 2012 TFAC concert by Achison and Bramblett, it was hard to tell who was having more fun – the guys in the band on stage or the raving fans who packed the house for the sold out show.

Both Achison and Bramblett play custom guitars built for them by Tryon luthier Jay Lichty. “Working with both Geoff and Randall to design their custom guitars was an honor and it is an unbelievable thrill to hear

my instruments being played by such amazing musicians,” said Lichty.

For more than 30 years, these musicians have laid down tracks of soul-stirring tunes that have received high praise by music critics.

Most recently Bramblett’s CD, The Bright Spots, has held a steady spot on both the Americana chart and the Roots Rock Chart.

His hit song, Used to Rule the World, was the title track on Bonnie Raitt’s Grammy-award winning CD Slipstream.

Achison has won numerous awards for his guitar mastery from Memphis to Melbourne, he’s a regular instructor of blues guitar at Ohio’s Fur Peace Ranch and his multi-continent tour schedule reflects the global fan-base of this in-demand singer/songwriter and guitarist.

Catch the show Friday, Sept.

Geoff Achison and Randall Bramblett

6 at 8 p.m. at Tryon Fine Arts Center in Tryon. General admission tickets may be purchased online via www.tryonarts.org or by phone at 828-859-8322.

Lichty Guitars and NPR station WNCW are sponsors for this event.

Hands up, how many among us have actually stopped and stepped out of our cars to move a turtle across the road?

Present and accounted for, sir.

I must do some turtle googling to find exactly why it is that turtles choose to leap in front of us this time of year- is it the mating season? How awkward that must be for the bachelor male turtle: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shall we go back to your place or mine?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, Buford, as we both have our places on our backs, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to go to both our places.â&#x20AC;?

Or is it to escape swampy areas after a deluge of rain, for higher ground? Not that they seem to be in any great rush in their escape, but then, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a turtle. Perhaps as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re crossing the roads they are displaying what is considered to be a reptilian mach three. At any rate, at least they continue in one direction, making them relatively easy to dodge, unlike squirrels, clearly the meth addicts of the animal kingdom.

So, turtles are on the move and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that there is a single one of us that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel compassion coming across a shattered and squashed turtle in the road and, because they are so very slow, we feel compelled to assist them, as if we were boy scouts, to cross safely.

My farrier friend, Anthony, was doing just this a couple of weeks ago. Anthony is a kind

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve even been invited to a dinner where a Buford was to be the main course. It was with great relief that I was able to politely decline on the grounds of being a vegetarian, although that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop the continuing overtures as the husband then gruffly Lee C. Mulligan, Esq. told me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have yourself some of IS PROBATE? thisWHAT turtle soup and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll put an Q. to What probate anyway? end thatisvegetarian crap right A.
