longer be able to register to vote during early voting. Previously, residents could register to vote during early voting as long as they voted when they registered. Residents will have until 5 p.m. Oct. 11 to register for the Nov. 5 municipal election. Registration can be done at the Polk County Board of Elections Office in the Womack building in Columbus. Another change as of Sept. 1, 2013 is that persons must be at least 17 years old and turning 18 by Election Day in order to register. Previously, North Carolina allowed 16-year-olds to preregister to vote at the department of motor vehicles while obtaining a driver’s license. Polk County Board of Elections Director Tracy Waters said although the new law doesn’t take effect until 2016, her office would begin asking for identification in January 2014. She said the office would also educate persons without identification as to how they can obtain the necessary documents. Waters said her office is currently awaiting direction from the state board of elections office, which is writing procedures for counties to follow for the 2014 election and proper identification. Waters also said state officials are working with register of deeds offices and the department of motor vehicles to eliminate any charges for people who cannot afford the identification needed to vote. The new law, effective Jan. 1, 2016 from House Bill 589, will require all voters to state their name and residence address to the election official. Once verified as a registered voter, the individual must then sign his or her name to the poll book. Photo identification accepted includes an identification bearing any reasonable resemblance to the voter. Voters without photo ID would vote a provisional ballot, according to the bill. Acceptable forms of ID include a NC driver’s license, a NC special identification card, a US

passport, a US military identification card, a veteran’s identification card containing a photo issued by the US Department of Veterans, a tribal enrollment card issued by a federally recognized tribe or a tribe recognized by North Carolina and a driver’s license or special identification card issued by another state, D.C., or a territory or commonwealth of the U.S., only if the voter’s registration was within 90 days of the election. For voters over the age of 70, any of the cards above that include a date of expiration that was not expired on the day the voter reached the age of 70 will be accepted. There are also several exceptions to the requirement. Anyone considered a religious objector against being photographed, who has executed a declaration of that objection before an election official more than 25 days before the election, can opt out of showing the identification. Also eligible for exemption is anyone with a natural disaster affidavit, where a voter was unable to produce a photo ID as a result of a natural disaster that occurred within 60 days of the election that was declared by the president or the governor. Those persons may sign a declaration to that effect and vote a regular ballot. The majority of U.S. states require some form of identification either with or without a photograph and several states have pending legislation to require identification at the polls. South Carolina’s voter ID law went into effect Jan. 1, 2013 mandating that voters show a photo ID when voting. Forms accepted in South Carolina include a driver’s license, picture ID card issued by the department of motor vehicles, a passport, military ID or a photo voter registration card. The photo registration card is only for people without one of the other four types of identification. North Carolina will join Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin, who all have pending photo ID requirements.

Heritage celebrated at Green Creek festival Sept. 7 by Samantha Hurst
ASSISTED LIVING & MEMORY CARE
While some may think of Green Creek as the more rural side of Polk County, the area has long been full of life and plans to celebrate that activity with the 15th annual Green Creek Heritage Festival Saturday, Sept. 7 “Families can come out and bring their kids for a fun, family day and they don’t have to spend a dime unless they want to buy food or a craft,” said coordinator Krista Haynes. “It’s become a well-rounded festival.” Haynes said the day would include horse and buggy rides, an archery competition, a 4-H livestock show, an antique car and tractor show, a silent auction, items for sale in an old-fashioned country store and a petting zoo. Storytellers including Jim Hinsdale and Lance Smith will also be on hand throughout the day to tell people about life in the county over the decades. There’s a reason festival organizers focus on crafts and skills such as sewing, blacksmithing, canning and cracklin’ rendering, said Haynes. “The goal is to make it an educational festival to display how things were done 100 years ago in the community,” Haynes said. “I just think we’ve lost perspec-
tive of where things come from. Kids don’t know their potatoes come from the ground and their milk comes from a cow. We want to reconnect people with their heritage.” Haynes said while she grew up on a farm, where they raised their own food and canned what they didn’t eat, most people didn’t and would be in trouble if they had to start doing more by hand. She said the festival reintroduces people to the knowledge of these skills in a fun, familyfriendly way. Haynes encourages families to start at the information booth as soon as they park in the hay fields to find out more about the day. She also stressed the festival supports a center of community life in Green Creek. “Every dollar raised at this festival funds the operating expenses of the Green Creek Community Center,” Haynes said. She added that the center is vital to many residents in the county. It serves as the Meeting Place II senior center, offering exercise and quilting classes; provides meals to senior adults MondayFriday, both at the center and by delivery to their homes; serves (heritage festival continued on page 7)

SCLT’s community garden connects people, food, ideas by Mark Schmerling
Where in Saluda can one find level ground for growing a productive garden, and join others who are interested in, and often very accomplished at, raising crops? The answer lies along Henderson Street, at the Saluda Community Land Trust’s (SCLT) community garden, with 20-by-20-foot plots served by an ingenuous and effective water distribution system, and a spirit of cooperation and sharing. SCLT board member Dave Prudhomme explained this garden is a product of board members attending a national gathering in Denver, where community gardening was featured. They returned to Polk County, thinking, ‘Hey, we can do this in Saluda.’ A venture to utilize some promising ground along Howard Gap Road never materialized, but SCLT board members, including current president Nancy Barnett, found this spot, long used for agriculture. Pat Robinson, who owns the tract, wanted to keep it that way so she leased it to the organization. “The whole idea (of the community garden),” said Prudhomme, “is to serve the community. It’s available to anyone.” Single plot rental is $30 per year – modest, especially since SCLT prepares the ground (including the addition of calcium) and, in typical years, incurs a water bill from the city.
During typical summers, growers in Saluda’s community garden benefit from the efficient, labor-saving water catchment and distribution system designed and implemented by Saluda Community Land Trust (SCLT) board member Dave Prudhomme. See more photos of the garden at www.tryondailybulletin.com. (photos by Mark Schmerling)
One example for prospective growers to follow is Walter Hoover, who utilizes succession planting to raise crops throughout much or all of the year. “You just have to keep going,” explained Hoover. “You have to keep planting.” That, he said, means knowing the weather preferences of plants. For instance, tomatoes and corn flourish in summer weather. Radishes and lettuces grow better in cooler months. Broccoli can be grown in much of the winter. Hoover began this year’s garden on March 1, when he planted English peas, sugar snaps, radishes
and lettuce. “I had fabulous lettuce in April,” he reported. Hoover, and others, use composted organic matter to enrich the soil naturally. Regardless of one’s overall prowess as a gardener, freak weather conditions can often derail the best of efforts. While Hoover’s garden is still enviable for most folks, he acknowledges some lessthan-stellar components. Some crops suffered through the region’s heavy rains, which reduced the activity and effectiveness of pollinators. During typical summers, the watering system, designed by Prudhomme, is a boon for gardeners. Cisterns catch water from nearby rain gutters. That water is pumped into spigots placed at regular intervals around the perimeter of the plots. Gardeners can fill watering cans right by their plot. SCLT members also installed a drip irrigation system, which has not been needed so far this year. “Dave has done a wonderful job of plumbing,” said Hoover of the catchment and pump system. Hoover and Prudhomme said the garden and its concept have attracted a diverse population. Some folks who grew up in agricultural areas and relocated here, are motivated by nostalgia to
bond with the land by raising food. Hoover also said the garden gives children a chance to see the real source of food. He noted Rev. Rob Parsons has brought children’s groups to the garden to dig fresh potatoes, and eat them. In addition, said Hoover, “We have several young families with plots, who bring their children.” Such efforts enable the garden to provide an education, well beyond producing food. Jim and Mary Holman of Saluda have a bountiful plot at the community garden. During the winter, the Holmans raise starter plants, including tomatoes, egg plant and peppers, at home, and donate them to other garden plot renters, who can plant them in the spring. Hoover, who practices sustainable gardening, smiles when folks ignore its roots. “We think we (Americans) invented sustainable agriculture,” he said as he recalled his 1980 visit to a commune in China, where waste from livestock was used to grow crops, with efficiency and little waste. Plant waste helped feed the stock. For more information on the community garden, contact SCLT board members at 828-749-1560.

Health exchange shopping tips for uninsured boomers and early retirees Dear Savvy Senior, At age 62, I will be retiring at the end of the year and plan to enroll in Obamacare until my Medicare kicks in. Can you offer me any advice on choosing a plan? - Almost retired Dear Almost, The new health insurance exchanges – also known as Obamacare – that begin in 2014 will have a significant impact on millions of Americans who need health insurance, especially pre-Medicare retirees and uninsured baby boomers who often have a difficult time finding affordable coverage. To help ensure you get the best health insurance coverage that fits your needs, here are some things you should know. Health exchange overview Starting Oct. 1, you will be able to shop for health insurance policies, and enroll in one directly through your state’s Health Insurance Marketplace website, over the phone, via mail or in person at a designated center. The coverage will go into effect Jan. 1, 2014. You can also be reassured to know that federal law prohibits marketplace insurers from denying you coverage or charging you higher rates if you have a pre-existing health condition. But they are permitted to set premiums up to three times higher for applicants over the age of 50, and smokers may be charged up to 50 percent more than nonsmokers. To help make coverage affordable, sliding scale tax-credits will be available if you earn less than 400 percent of the poverty level – that’s $45,960 for a single person and $62,040 for couples. These tax-credit subsidies will provide immediate savings off your monthly premiums. See the Kaiser Family Foundation online calculator (kff.org/
interactive/subsidy-calculator) for a premium estimate. Every state will have a marketplace, but each state can choose how it will operate. Seventeen states and the District of Columbia will run their own state-based marketplace, seven states will partner with the federal government and 26 states will offer federal marketplaces. The differences between federal and state programs will be subtle. You will be able to access your state’s marketplace at Healthcare.gov. Policy choices To make shopping and comparing a little easier, the health plans will be divided into four different levels – bronze, silver, gold and platinum. The bronze plan will have the lowest monthly premiums, but the highest outof-pocket costs when you need care, while the platinum plans will have the highest premiums with the lowest out-of-pocket costs. You will also have a variety of health insurance companies to select from. To help you evaluate insurers, the nonprofit National Committee for Quality Assurance offers online report cards at ncqa.org that can help you narrow your choices. Because most plans will be managed-care policies such as HMOs or PPOs that require you to get your care within a network of providers, you’ll want to make sure the doctors and hospitals you typically use are covered in the plans you’re considering. The new marketplace plans are expected to offer fewer choices of health-care providers, and who’s included may vary quite a bit. You also need to find out what happens if you want to use a doctor or hospital outside a plan’s network. Will you have

during her intern year of residency, she needed an outlet for the stress. So Tina started preparing for her first marathon with Team in Training to raise money for Leukemia and Lymphoma research. “When I finished that race, I told my brother if I ever ran another marathon, he’d have to run with me,” Tina said. Michael, in remission since the fall of 2006, has since completed four other marathons with Tina, and will run alongside her in the Marine Corps Marathon. This upcoming marathon will be Tina’s sixth full marathon; she’s completed 13 half-marathons. Cheering her on in Washington D.C. will be her parents Tom and Nabila Kearney and her aunt JoAnn, among other family members. In its 37-year history, the Marine Corps Marathon has seen several famous personalities cross its finish line — from comedian Drew Carey to celebrity Oprah Winfrey, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore to former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Last year, 30,000 entries were received in less than three hours. So what inspired Tina to tackle this prestigious and challenging event? “I have a friend whose husband is a Marine, and she was interested in this particular race. Plus, I’d heard such good things about the MCM; I wanted to experience it,” Tina said, “As a bonus, my Uncle Jim had lived in the D. C. area at one point in his life when he worked for the government.” As of this writing, Tina has raised $1,900 towards her goal of $3,000.

It is 4 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock in the morning and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sitting on a porch at some dude ranch called Love Valley. It is a two - day get-away my wife insisted we take and, as usual, she was right. It is so quiet and beautiful I begin the day by trying to elicit the most perfect prayer to our Lord. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just finished reviewing the first 50 stories of the book Samantha, our editor and my dear friend, and I are trying to put together. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve convinced Elaine, my wife, to take a few more thousand dollars from our savings to purchase the first few hundred books, or letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say to have them printed. Hopefully, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do well enough that I could convince some publisher to take it on. As I told the Boss just a little while ago, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do my best; the rest is in Your Hands.â&#x20AC;? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible not to reflect on each case as I reread them. Boy has time flown by and things have changed, hopefully for the better. I just read Viperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s story from the poor soldier who had Lupus. It
dawned on me that Viper was 14 years old when we got him, which means he lived to be at least 20. This poor frightened and confused soul got to live out the rest of his life in a loving and caring environment. The thought brings a tear to my eyes. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure he never forgot his soldier, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with him now, I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll use Viperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photo this week, just as a tribute to both of them. My cases have been piling up so quickly (the reason Elaine pulled me away) I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had time to organize my annual Bark in the Park. All I can tell you is that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve scheduled it for Saturday, Oct. 5 at Harmon Field pavilion from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get some flyers made up this week. Please bring your kids, I always have extra hot dogs for the pooches. Please call me if you have goods or services you wish to contribute for auction or raffle. I had some baked goods last year for sale; anything to help my kids. Please mark your calendars, Oct. 5, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., all other events are secondary, my kids need you. I have to say it again, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love this community.â&#x20AC;? God bless you all and thanks for listening.

Paying in end for trying to save a buck “This afternoon was the colour of water falling through sunlight; The trees glittered with the tumbling of leaves; The sidewalks shone like alleys of dropped maple leaves, And the houses ran along them laughing out of square, open windows.” – Amy Lowell, excerpt from September, 1918 Some folks learn things the hard way, and I tend to be one of those. So, dear readers, take advantage of my hard-knocks lesson. The summer monsoon season took a toll on my old house: the back porch gutter failed, sheets of water pouring on the back steps, an overhang showing signs of rot. Scraping up pennies, I figured I’d better do something or damages would get worse. Not wanting to hassle my across-the-road neighbor about it, I hunted on craigslist for someone willing to barter or

age, I got the message, “Verizon customer is unavailable.” Serves me right for not getting other estimates, checking several references and having materials and prices spelled out to a T. This was my own fault, and I hope to save you, dear reader, my pain and contrition for being a sucker. The truth is I was so desperate, trying to save a dollar: it backfired. To rub more salt in my wounds, Mr. Remuddler didn’t install the gutter covers I’d left on hand — ignoring them; and left trash out on the back walkway. Insult to injury, indeed.

A well-stocked pantry leads to healthier diet Preparing meals can sometimes be burdensome for considerable reasons including time, expense, variety, healthfulness and appeal issues associated with formulating daily fare. Today, I’d like to share a list of fundamental ingredients to keep a well-stocked pantry or cupboard. These essentials will ensure more healthful, savory meals. 1. Tomato products. Tomatoes, their sauces and pastes can be added to a variety of dishes. Canned tomatoes could be used as toppings for pizza or sandwiches, added to soups or stews, and can make a great base for homemade sauces. Tomato fruit products reduce chronic inflammation, fight off oxidative stress to the body, reduce risk for cancer (lycopene) - including prostate and pancreatic cancers, and help control blood pressure. By

Studies show consuming whole grains reduces risk for heart disease, diabetes and certain cancers. They are also rich sources of vitamins and minerals. 7. Healthful oils and vinegars. Olive and canola oils are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids that may help prevent breast cancer, reduce risk of heart attack and stroke, lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and relieve inflammation. These oils can add a light flavor to salads, pastas, soups and other dishes.

Second annual Mill Spring School Homecoming Reunion Oct. 12

Held at Mill Spring Agriculture Center and Economic Development Center
Oct. 12, 2013 will host the second annual homecoming at the old school auditorium (now the Mill Spring Agriculture and Economic Development Center) from 2 to 4 p.m. A short program is planned and potluck snack food will be contributed along with drinks, paper products and ice. Those attending are invited to bring their favorite snack food that can be eaten from a napkin. The first homecoming/reunion last year brought back memories of all the wonderful things experienced during school years; ball games, school plays, Halloween carnivals and sock hops. Mill Spring School had a very good Glee Club and would perform at Easter, Christmas and on the radio. Who remembers the student marching drill team that Mrs. Walkerwitz instructed and compiled routines suited to different music? The church and the school made up most residents’ social lives, considering the time. A lot of school activity kept students busy
Who remembers the student marching drill team that Mrs. Walkerwitz instructed and compiled routines suited to different music? and provided them with all the friends they needed for a fulfilled life. Many classmates married after graduation, as did George and Ruth Price; married now more than 60 years. Let it be noted that Ruth was the first May Queen for the school in 1952. These are some of the stories and facts learned from attending last year. Many politicians, educators, doctors and nurses - all kinds of professions - came from spending 12 years at this school. This was the only school many locals ever attended, starting in the first grade through graduation, all in the same building. Come out on Oct. 12 and recall the wonderful memories that will come alive as former students share stories and where life has taken them all. - article submitted by Sandra Tipton Nash, class of 1959

Landrum girls dominate Woodruff Cross Country meet Landrum girls’ cross country team captured a perfect score of 15 at the Woodruff Cross Country meet Wednesday, Sept. 3. The team earned this score after its team members captured
places first through sixth. In cross country, only the scores for the top five finishers on the team are typically used. If there is a tie between teams, the scores for their sixth and seventh runners may be
used to break the tie. The top six finishers, in order of how they finished, were Paige Herbst, Savannah Bengston, Laura Ford, Grace Furman, Sarah Cash and Elizabeth Walter.
Landrum was the only 2-A team; the others – Woodruff, Broome, Union, Laurens and Clinton – are all 3-A or 4-A teams. – information submitted by Lorin Browning

“The Rose” starring Bette Midler will kick off the first of a six film fall series called “Tryon Connections” on Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. The Tryon Connections series entertainingly brings home a facet of Tryon’s past by presenting films that show a link between the town and the international film industry. Tryon native, Bill Kerby, wrote the screenplay for “The Rose.” His mother was the original owner of The Bookshelf in Tryon and he graduated from Tryon High School in 1956 as President of his class. Although he now lives near Seattle, Wash., he still has many friends in Tryon. In an interview filmed specially for the series, Kerby will discuss the process of writing the story and introduce the film to the Tryon audience. “The Rose” was released in 1979 and is based on the last four years in the life of singer Janis Joplin. It won two Golden Globe Awards (for Best Actress – Bette Midler – and Best Original Song – “The Rose”), the National Society of Film Critics Award for Best Supporting Actor (Frederick Forrest) and was nominated for four Academy Awards. Kerby wrote both the original story and the screenplay for “The Rose” and toured with Joplin during his research. He also wrote or co-wrote the screenplays for “Last American Hero,” “The Gravy Train,” “Hooper,” and “Dead Men Can’t Dance” and wrote the original
Bill Kerby
story for “Firepower.” His work also included numerous stories for television, including two episodes of “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” and, most recently, the highly acclaimed History Channel miniseries “The Hatfields and the McCoys.” The Tryon Connection series will include five other presentations on the following Tuesday evenings: Oct. 1, Oct. 15, Nov. 5, Nov. 19 and Dec 3. Individual tickets will be available at the door, or you can purchase a series ticket beginning Sept. 10. The series will also host a special costume gala prior to the Nov. 19 showing of The Great Gatsby with Robert Redford for an additional fee. These presentations are made possible through a grant for equipment from the Polk County Community Foundation and sponsorship from The Tryon Theater. - article submitted by Marianne Carruth

Letter to the Editor
The phenomena of Tryon To the editor: The Tryon area has a population of about four or five thousand and Hendersonville has about 75-80,000, yet Tryon has painters and sculptors with some of the most beautiful works imaginable. I’m sure Hendersonville has some fine artists too, but walking into our galleries is like walking into some New York galleries. There are shows right now that are a delight and a joy. For one, there is the Upstairs Gallery with a dramatic show. In the front room near the entrance there is a sculpture of a woman on a cross. She has a very rough surface, but you can still see how graceful she is. She seems to be going through some tough times. Is seems to be a plea for justice for abused women by Bonnie Bardos. High drama is seen in “Nightfall,” with a fire between low buildings and great masses of black smoke blowing across the sky by Courtney Chapell. Next is a large painting with magnificent clouds rising with electric and I do mean electric blue sky showing through. The painting seems to be strongly mystical. There is another work in the downstairs gallery with the same type of sky, but with windblown tree branches. “Fire Service No. 3” is a beautiful symphony of graduating reds into reds, starting out softly near the edge and gradually growing stronger as they
work to the center area culminating with light coming through. There are so many more works that are breathtaking but space and time alas are limiting. Just a few days left of this exhibit, so hurry. Then Tryon Painters and Sculptors around the corner from Owens Pharmacy has a very colorful variety of works. At the beginning, there is Pat Roshaven’s “Movie Night,” a large photo of swirling red taillights flashing by the movie marquee, capturing the excitement of the movie. “The Wonder Dog” by Barney Eiserhol, very lively and original, has the subject with an alert expression on his face as he watches an orange ball before him on a wire - beautifully crafted in painted steel. Then there is “Things Fall Apart, Things Come Together,” by Julia Calhoun Williams. A carousel unicorn with beautifully designed trappings around his flanks. Next is “Florida Sunshine,” a watercolor with large palm fronds against a gold and red sky over a tropical ocean. Wanted to go there. In another mood entirely, is Patricia Cole Ferrulo’s abstract; a balance of warm and cool colors. Because of space and time limitations, I cannot give a description of some of the other beautiful works, so just go and see them all for yourself. The show lasts until Sept. 7. Oh yes, I have two paintings in the show but my extreme modesty prevents me from telling you how really magnificent they are. – Ron Mosseller, Tryon

Tryon Arts and Crafts School Fall Festival planned for Oct. 12-13 Tryon Arts and Crafts School will present its sixth annual Fall Festival on the grounds of the school Oct. 12-13. This popular arts and crafts festival highlights the skills of many local craftspeople as well as those from neighboring states. More than 30 vendors have reserved a booth space to show their wares and meet the public. Some of the crafts represented include Ron Ponce, whose work is a fine example of technical excellence in ceramics and has always attracted buyers in the past. Other potters include Michele Wright and Gary Huntoon, who are returning to the festival with exciting new pieces. Jim Cullen, ceramics instructor at Tryon Arts and Crafts School, will also demonstrate wheel throwing and selling his (fall festival continued on page 37)
