Families turn out for Columbus Labor Day Festival
Columbus battled rain showers again Labor Day weekend as the town brought amusement rides, carnival food, demonstrations and craft vendors to town for a family-friendly celebration. This weekend’s event, which opened Friday, Aug. 30 with rides for kids, was held to make up for a soggy Fabulous Fourth event in downtown Columbus. Fireworks were rescheduled from July 4 and shot off Saturday night. Columbus officials said vendors enjoyed a strong early evening turnout for food and crafts. See more photos on page 7.

New PCSO K9 reports for duty by Leah Justice
After suddenly losing K9 Trixie earlier this year, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office has a new K9 officer ready for duty. Ike is a 16-month old German Shepherd who graduated on Aug. 16 from the North American Police Work Dog Association after a five-week cer-
tification course. He began working with the sheriff’s office on Aug. 21. K9 officer Ronnie Russell said community donations and funding from the Polk County Board of Commissioners made purchasing Ike possible. (k9 continued on page 3)

Russell was also the handler for Trixie, a 10-year old German Shepherd who died suddenly of cancer on March 15 after working the night before. “The community and county commissioners did a lot to help us get Ike,” Russell said, “I think he’s going to be a great asset to the county.” The sheriff ’s office purchased Ike through K2 Solutions in Jackson Springs, N.C., a disabled veteran-owned business, who also trained Trixie. The sheriff ’s office, Polk County Board of Commissioners and donations from the community paid $11,500 for Ike. Commissioners contributed $6,500, along with more than $2,000 raised from the community. The remaining monies were taken from the sheriff’s

office drug seizure fund. “The sheriff’s office would like to thank countless citizens who donated funds for Ike and also Polk County commissioners for their support in acquiring funds for Ike,” said Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill. Ike is trained in narcotics, tracking, building searches, article and area searches and criminal apprehension. Sheriff Hill said Ike has already been instrumental in recent drug arrests.

ICC named 17th best community college by Washington Monthly Isothermal Community College (ICC) was named the 17th best community college in the United States in this year’s Washington Monthly rankings. The rankings are based on Isothermal’s performance in the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) and U.S. Department of Education measures of student retention and completion. “The Washington Monthly ranking underscores the fact that Isothermal Community College offers excellent value and exceptional learning opportunities for the people of Rutherford and Polk counties,” said ICC President Walter Dalton. The rankings measure community college performance in eight areas: active and collaborative learning; student effort; academic challenge; student-faculty interaction; support for learning; first-year retention rate; three-year graduation/retention rate; and credentials awarded per 100 FTE students. Washington Monthly has published its rankings since 2005. The ranking list for national universities in the “Best Bang for the Buck” category included the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill at third and North Carolina State University at fourth, with East Carolina University closely following at 11th. “We are thrilled at being included in such fine company,” said
ICC President Walter Dalton
Dr. Kimberly Gold, ICC’s vicepresident of Academic and Student Services and Institutional Assessment. “The credit goes to our fine employees who are dedicated to improving life through learning and our wonderful students who recognize that commitment and dedicate themselves to success. Dalton said the college looks forward to finding new ways to serve the community with affordable educational opportunities. “This ranking shows Isothermal is truly a place that provides a foundation for success,” Dalton said.

Tourism bolsters Polk, without changing Polk, if we care enough There are few industries that build the revenue they seek without eating up a considerable amount of resources or altering significantly the area around them. Many have to build large buildings, use excessive amounts of energy and require a tremendous amount of services. The outdoor tourism industry, however, doesn’t often require such resources. Those who relish in the experiences such businesses and events offer also do so because of a connection with nature. Polk County stands to benefit from this type of industry as outdoor entrepreneurs, vineyard owners and equestrian farm owners build nationally-recognized endurance races, add zip lines, attract wine lovers from around the country and bring trainers from around the world. These businesses are bringing hundreds of visitors to our area to experience the majesty of the place we all call home – just look at the facebook page of The Gorge or drop by one of our wineries yourself and you’ll see the numbers. While they are here they spend dollars in our restaurants, gas stations, gift shops and more. When almost 100 extreme outdoor athletes converge on Saluda and the surrounding area for the Green River Games this weekend, many of them will bring with them at minimum one family member or friend. This means at least 200 people needing somewhere to sleep; food to keep their bodies fueled for the long distance runs by kayak, bike and foot; and gas to get them home again. Sure, there will be a need for some extra police forces here and there. There will also be a bit more trash to pick up. But then those visitors, after experiencing all we have to offer, will then return home taking with them their continuing need for law enforcement, additional energy resources, fire protection and more. But also with travelers such as these, their passions don’t exist without nature. The last thing they want is to leave a river like the Green or an area such as the game lands in disarray. Polk County’s entrepreneurs are smart to capitalize on the treasures we have in this area. Hopefully they will continue to do so, leaving only positive traces on the area. Doing so creates jobs and valuable revenue for our communities without extinguishing nonrenewable resources. Doing so helps Polk County thrive. - The Tryon Daily Bulletin Editorial Staff

Definition of a good job To the editor: Ten years ago the definition of a good job would be one that paid fair wages, had decent benefits and allowed you to provide for your family without government entitlements. Today the definition of a good job can be summed up as one that had a 40-hour work week. Letter With the advent to the of Obamacare, a job Editor with a 40-hour work week and/or low cost health benefits is becoming a thing of the past. Many employers are making those 40-hour jobs into 30-hour jobs, making our workforce a bunch of part-timers. How sad is that? In addition, some large employers, such as UPS, are dropping health coverage altogether for some classes of spouses. Many unions, who are major supporters of liberal politicians, are worried because they offer health insurance through unusual plans that allow large and small employers to buy coverage as a group. They are concerned that if workers opt out of these health plans they may have less
Voter IDs and school bus stops To the editor: In the nonsense Cooper spouts, in the Tryon Daily Bulletin on Aug. 28, page 8, we have to assume she’s talking about voter ID. Getting an ID is free and needed for many things besides voting, yet voting is the only function objected to. Considering there’s four years between presidential elections, there shouldn’t be any objection.
of a reason to belong to the union. There is also scrambling in some local governments who are faced with the choice of dropping employee health coverage or raising taxes. What’s even more disturbing is that President Obama is now bringing class warfare into the health care issue by edicting exemptions to some of his favorite special interest groups and giving large subsidy benefits to many federal workers. He’s taken an already unpopular law and stuck the “have-nots” noses in it. Who’s responsible for the mess our government has made of our health system? The blame is not Obama’s alone, a lot of it belongs to those individuals who voted for Obama a second time. Fully aware that it was a very unpopular health program, these voters gave him the power to make it even worse with his dictatorial edicts, which benefit a chosen few, while ruining one of the best health systems in the world for the rest of us. They are the real culprits in this debacle. – Karl Kachadoorian, Tryon Let’s be really honest – the only reason anyone could object to having to ID oneself at the voting booth is because he wants to cheat. Also, excellent editorial, in the Tryon Daily Bulletin on Aug. 28, page 8, obeying the school bus stop sign is extremely important. But couldn’t there be a requirement that school bus drivers pull over now and then to let vehicles pass – say when 10 vehicles are piled up behind it? - Don Ellenberger, Tryon

These concerns have value To the editor: Since 2012, and now ever increasingly, I have either participated in or been present for group discussions about how quickly now “our country and the American culture is changing.” These discussions have been in church groups, nursing homes, banks, physician’s offices, from financial advisors, in grocery stores, hardware stores and even at gasoline pumps. I consider myself a conservative, but not a Republican in today’s political arena. It’s very discouraging to me to hear in the news about how our culture in America is becoming so per- Letter missive, especially in to the decisions by our U.S. Editor Supreme court. Much of the permissiveness seems to stem from the issue of over “political correctness,” which I seem to remember began back in the Bill Clinton era. I comprehend political correctness as meaning, being allowed to do wrongful and/or even illegal acts with permissiveness and even acceptance by many progressives in American today. Additionally, the “It’s all about me” concept and attitude in so many of our youth, which I witnessed when it was taught in federally-sanctioned (and paid for with taxpayer dollars) “self-empowerment training for individuals desiring it.” Our Congress today spends their valuable time writing legislative bills for enactment of laws, which are already on the books. The audacity of the U.S. Congress to pass legislation without even a majority of Congressman having read a bill; the U.S. Supreme court hearing a case about whether a Congressional Silt is legal to enact on the American people (like, the Affordable Care Act); and offer the government a legal opinion that the enactment could be considered legal under the guise of a “new tax” and then be enacted by our president without consultation or debate by our U.S. Congress. Now, we’re seeing
big businesses given a one-year extension on their mandatory participation. Prior, teacher and labor unions were allowed to be exempt from the “Affordable Care Act” and just last week, if you haven’t already heard, the U.S. Congress is now exempt from participation from ObamaCare I am making these many points to remind fellow Americans (young and old alike) that, we so often forget or, want to even deny historical writings from America’s founding fathers and relevant sources like the Bible and even writings of former enemies of our Republic form of government. Here’s one, I recently read (no, not on Youtube) taken from a referenced, accredited, nonfictional, historical document available from the U.S. Library of Congress. You might like to read it and ponder its authenticity in today’s American culture. The writer, a man and former dictator, unliked by most mainstream American citizens was Joseph Stalin. “America is like a healthy body, and its resistance is threefold: Its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within,” said Stalin. An interesting perspective, don’t you think? We’ve recently witnessed U.S. Supreme Court decisions striking down “the defense” of moral and spiritual items included in organizational charters, like our military academies and the Boy Scouts of America. We witness the issue of banning Jesus’ name at public functions, being threatened if the Biblical Ten Commandments are memorialized on monuments and do nothing when even our country’s military chaplains are threatened when using the name Jesus in the prayers they read. If this article was in any way enlightening, you may want to purchase a DVD entitled: “AGENDA Grinding America Down” an SAICFF “2010 best of festival” Jubilee winner. – John Hansborough, Columbus

St. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk about preventing stress injuries like tennis elbow A repetitive stress injury is a condition where pain and other symptoms occur in an area of the body that has done repetitive tasks (often arms or hands). Treatment includes stopping the task (if possible), improving the work environment and other measures such as rehabilitation. Two of the most common repetitive stress injuries are tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome. Tennis elbow is a condition that results in deterioration of the tendon fibers that attach to the bone at the outside of the elbow, while carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the tissues surrounding the tendons in the wrist swell and put pressure on the median nerve. Tendons are

Course builds boats, builds youth at Mill Spring ag center by Kirk Gollwitzer
The Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center aims to become an epicenter for knowledge sharing in Polk County. Patrick McLendon, the center’s director, hopes by the fall and winter the center will offer up to 20 different classes. “We see the ag center as a place where we can have many educational events and become a center for knowledge sharing,” said McLendon. Several weeks ago Don Rausch, a professional boat builder, approached McLendon and asked him for his help in providing classes in wooden boat building. McLendon did a quick inventory of the available spaces in the old building and began to think out of the box. The two agreed on a mutually beneficial plan that would allow Rausch to set up shop and Noah Horshim and Larry Dyer work on their individual boats during Don Rausch’s workshop at the Mill Spring Ag Center.

begin his classes at no charge to Rausch. In return, Rausch would be expected to clear out the old boiler room and turn it into a usable space. Rausch, who owns the signature appearance of an experienced sailor, kept up his side of the deal and filled his class to capacity. Three kids and two grandfathers, with ages that span 70 years, built six boats entirely from scratch over this summer. Rausch, who says he learned the art of boat building from the industry’s best, taught his students everything from plywood characteristics to the proper use of epoxy. “All of our boats are made of Lloyds of London inspected marine plywood, very stout and very expensive,” said Rausch. Larry Dyer, 17, sanded the entire surface of his boat with a passion. “I just like getting out and working with my hands,” Dyer said. Once the boats are completed, they can be used for the next few generations because they are constructed by following the exact designs of Devlin Boat Designers, a recognized leader in the industry, Rausch said. Rausch instructs his students to also follow the Devlin process known as stitch-and-glue. “There are no fasteners in these boats. Fasteners are the weakest point of other boats. They’re old fashion and don’t work well,” said Rausch. During all stages of the production, the boats come alive with the signature characteristics of both the designer and Rausch himself. Larry Denton is the grandfather of Dyer, as well as Noah Horshim, 12, who also took the class. “You know kids, they get out of school and they can’t get a job because they don’t even know how to work,” said Denton, as he watched over his grandkids with pride.
“You know kids, they get out of school and they can’t get a job because they don’t even know how to work.” -- Larry Denton
Rausch said he is not leading the course for money. To date he has spent his own money to help finance the class. “This is for kids; I don’t get paid for this,” said Rausch. McLendon said he believes Rausch’s class fits in well with the knowledge-sharing theme of the ag center. Other classes planned include a poultry class, a turkey conference, a chicken processing class and a cob oven building class. For more information on the boat building class, which will start up again this fall, call Rausch at 941-779-3962. For more information about all other class offerings, contact McLendon at 828-894-2281.

Seminars to help make home gardening more productive How would you like to produce more food for your family right in your own backyard? How would you like to have greater production and less weeds? Allan Kennedy, who grew up in Polk County, will share his knowledge of gardening with greater produce yields at the Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church Morgan Center. There are two different sessions covering various topics. Soil samples will be collected to be tested to see what minerals are lacking in your soil to make a more productive garden. For information on the soil samples, call Lorna Dever at 828-8171544. Soil samples will be mailed on Sept. 9 in order to have the results available at the meeting on Sept. 26. The first seminar is on Thursday, Sept. 26 at 6:53 p.m. – Super Food Production. This seminar discusses an integrated growing
system for production of vegetables. This comprehensive seminar will outline specific methods used to produce your own food including tools, soil amendments, seed and all the components used to produce up to 2 tons of nutritious food on a 12’ x 36’ space or in appropriate containers. This integrated growing system virtually eliminates the challenges of past gardening experiences – of planting seeds in the ground and wondering if they will come up, growing a good crop of weeds with your vegetables (bottom watering and the production methods used virtually eliminate weeds), having a good garden only to have it burn out in August (the ability to bottom water uses 20 to 25 percent of the water used in open production), and enjoys the benefits of greenhouse production (three to four times the volume). The seminar will be easily understandable for beginners and
yet have valuable new information for the experienced gardener. The second seminar is on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 6:53 p.m. – Year Round Real Food. Learn how to grow, pick, prepare and store your own food year round. Seminar participants will discuss year-round growing; selection, harvesting, preparation and long term storage of your production; use of a root cellar and long-term cold storage; sprouting, freezing, canning, dehydrating and fermenting. “As a boy, I had my own garden in addition to our family garden, and then was the only grandchild allowed to help in my grandfather’s “Pops” Klady’s truck garden,” Kennedy said. “My approach to food production has been shaped by being a medical technologist with a master’s in public health. Not only do I want good yields, but I’m concerned with getting the most nutrition

With research done in the last few years, we know not only how to increase the nutrient density of what we grow from 4 to 582 times and establish a 20-plus year fertility reservoir, but we can easily raise over 2 tons of food from a 12 by 36 foot area.

Figure drawing studios in Tryon Thursdays and Saturdays
ESTATE SALE EXTRAVAGANZA
When the Saturday morning figure drawing sessions ended at The Tryon Painters and Sculptors last May, Nancy Barnett took up the reins and introduced figure drawing on Thursday afternoons from 1-4 p.m. This proved quite popular and had an enrollment of eight permanent members through June. Alas, it could not sustain the minimum enrollment needed to continue through July and August. The figure drawing classes will be offered again this fall for those who would prefer that time to Saturday mornings. Nancy Neff introduced a new payment procedure to ensure model costs are covered. Nancy’s plan is to form a class of permanent TPS members who pay a set fee per session per month at the first of the month. Some months have four Thursdays or Saturdays and some have five. A member who knows in advance that he/she will not be able to attend a session or two will be excused from paying for that session (or sessions) at the beginning of the month. The class needs a commitment of six permanent members to run either the Thursday and Saturday Sessions. TPS members who only want to come on a pay by session basis will be charged a slightly higher fee. Non-members will pay $20. Permanent members will always be assured of having a place in class. Once the permanent members are seated, the remain-
This year class organizers plan to have a diverse selection of models, such as senior or portly models, mother and child, models of color, two models or a model with their pet. ing spaces will go on a first come first serve basis. Nancy and Dick Neff, who monitor the Saturday morning sessions, try to keep the class informed on a weekly basis. Artists who are not permanent members should contact the monitor to reserve a space. Reach Nancy Neff for Thursday afternoons at 828-749-1503 or nancybarnett@ tds.net or Dick Neff for Saturday mornings at 864-915-3144 or salnpop@aol.com. Sign-ups begin now by calling the monitor of the class (or classes) you prefer. This year class organizers plan to have a diverse selection of models, such as senior or portly models, mother and child, models of color, two models or a model with their pet. If you have any further ideas or know of someone who would consent to model “undraped” for our group, we would greatly appreciate your help. Acquiring new models is always a challenging process. – article submitted by Dick Neff
