Water could be topic of Oct. 1 joint meeting by Leah Justice

Joining water and sewer systems locally could be a topic at a joint town/ county meeting set for Oct. 1 if the Town of Tryon has any say in the agenda. Tryon Town Council met Tuesday, Sept. 17 and heard from commissioner and mayor pro-tem Roy Miller who said Tryon should join a water authority, sell or lease its system.

Miller said the town entertained the idea of a water authority about five years ago during talks with Polk County and the Town of Columbus and City of Saluda, but the talks died. “I think for our citizens’ benefit, we need to look into a water authority again or leasing or selling our system,” Miller (water authority continued on page 4)

said. He added that the town continues to accrue debt saying Tryon is up to $3.7 million in debt. “It’s really too much for a town of 2,000 people,” said Miller. Commissioner George Baker said he thinks water should be a topic for the upcoming joint meeting, but said everyone agrees the town can’t do it on its own. Baker also said that he read in a newspaper that one town sold its water system and two years later rates went up 200 percent. Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said a company could come in and keep rates low for a couple of years, then spend millions upgrading the system and go to the utilities commission, which approves rate increases for private operators, and say “look, we spent this much money, we need to increase rates.” In 2010 NiAmerica, a private water and sewer system operator, offered Tryon $4,2 million for its system. The company approached the town again in 2012. No other offers have been made and Tryon did

not continue discussions with NiAmerica after a presentation by the company in 2012. Peoples suggested Tryon and Saluda get together since their water systems are now connected through a joint line along Howard Gap Road. Peoples said if two entities are on board it could help in joint discussions. Peoples also said past discussions with Polk County, Columbus and Saluda regarding water made it evident that someone wants control. Peoples said a water/sewer authority works because an independent board of seven people would run the system taking politics out of the equation. During citizen comments Bill Crowell said he agrees with Miller about the water system. He suggested Tryon put pressure on Columbus to send Tryon their “dirty water,” instead of spending millions upgrading their sewer plant. Peoples said he’s talked to some in Columbus but they don’t have the vote to join sewer systems. Baker reminded council that an election is coming up. “There’s an election coming up guys,” Baker said, “anything (water authority continued on page 5)

Obituaries

Etta R. Thurber Etta Rudolf “Queenie” Thurber, 101, of Tryon Estates Retirement Community, passed away on Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013 in St. Luke’s Hospital in Columbus, after a brief illness. Queenie was born on Nov. 16, 1911 in Oak Park, Ill. to EttaMae Chesney Rudolf and Eugene Arthur Rudolf. Queenie served in many capacities in her adult life. She was very active in the Jack and Jill Theater in Chicago, Ill. and the Tryon Little Theater. She and her husband, Joseph Thurber, who preceded her in death in 1990, moved to Tryon from Oak Park, Ill. in the 1970s. Queenie was very active in the Tryon community and volunteered at the Congregational Church and the Tryon Little Theater. In 1994, she was inducted in to the Second Wind Hall of Fame. She is survived by a son, Richard Thurber (wife-Lynn) of Gainesville, Ga. and a daughter, Jean Thurber Russell of Lamar, Mo.; grandchildren, Tra-

can happen.” The Oct. 1 joint meeting, which will be held at 7 p.m. at Columbus Town Hall, will be the first the towns and county have met jointly since September 2011. At that meeting the county offered to pay to run a waterline, which has since been completed, to connect to Columbus. Prior to the September 2011 meeting, the county and towns met jointly in February 2011 to hear from elected officials from Jackson County who decided to form the joint Tuckasegee water and sewer authority. Polk County and the towns started holding joint meetings in 2010 to discuss shared topics, including sharing water sources, but have only met

cie Smith and Kerri Thurber; a dear nephe w, J o h n Vilas (wife Jean) and numerous nieces, nephews and great-grandchildren. A memorial service of Queenie’s happy life will be held at a later date in the Tryon Estates auditorium with Dr. Robert K. Barrows, Jr. officiating. A reception and time for celebrating her life with food and laughter will be held at Tryon Estates immediately after the service. Interment of remains in the Congregational Church of Christ Memorial Gardens will be held in a private family ceremony. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Congregational Church of Christ, 210 Melrose Avenue, Tryon, NC 28782 or charity of the donor’s choice. An online guest register is available at www.mcfarlandfuneralchapel.com. jointly a few times after Columbus officials indicated they were not interested at the time in joining a water authority. Columbus, Saluda and Tryon also met briefly in March 2012 to approve the inter-local agreement for the new waterline that connects all three towns. The towns and county originally began meeting jointly in 2002 to discuss sharing water sources and creating a joint water authority but those discussions also failed to join the local resources. At that time the county did not have any water sources, but since has began building a water system with an agreement through the Broad River Water Authority and Inman Campobello Water District and has purchased the bed of Lake Adger in order to provide water to the county in the future.

it’s almost autumn; my favorite season of the year. i once told that to someone who snapped back with something like, “do you like to watch things die?!” Well, no. i’ve seen my share of death and dying and i don’t like it. Conversely, i’ve devoted 47 years to the business of offering life and some biblical guidelines on how to live it. So no, i don’t like to watch things die. anyway, i don’t look upon autumn as a season

of death and dying in nature. it is a season of beauty and it’s bursting with life. in autumn God takes out his paintbrush and lavishly splashes the landscape with a gorgeous array of color. the sky is awash in an azure blue. and the waters run clear. the cooler temperatures of autumn bring a welcome change from the sultry days of summer. in autumn the pace of life quickens. the squirrels are busy on our front lawn burying (autumn continued on page 9)

Wind River offers respite for survivors in Green Creek A special place sits tucked away in Green Creek offering a wooded setting to reflect on life and one’s journey. For those who visit Wind River Retreat, a moment in a hammock by the creek or working the ground in a vegetable garden gives respite from the daunting task of fighting cancer. Shannon Carney, an eight-year cancer survivor, and David Pschirer opened Wind River Retreat in 2007. “Originating from our own experience with breast cancer in 2003, we became aware that surviving cancer requires not just physical stamina, but also time to process the many emotional and spiritual challenges it brings,” they say on their website. “Our motivation is to bring together people who want to further explore their cancer journey, focusing on living more fully and authentically - mind, body and spirit.” The retreat and its programs connect individuals facing similar

trying times in life to find strength in the shared experience. These retreats focus on relieving stress by sharing stories, engaging in light physical activity such as easy hikes, yoga and Tai Chi, letting out emotion through

music and art and spending time in nature. Earlier this year, Wind River added another aspect to their work through a heightened focus on nutrition. Cheryl Lecroy joined Wind River this past spring to provide nutritional support for cancer survivors. Lecroy said she worked to become a healthier eater when she was previously diagnosed with breast cancer. Attempting to absorb all the information out there, Lecroy said

“I now have a passion to help other survivors find their nutritional direction, feel better and get healthy with a simple, fun and easy to follow plan of eating a RAINBOW,” Lecroy says on the Wind River website. A regular newsletter sent out to past retreat participants, donors and supporters keeps everyone aware of upcoming retreats, fundraisers supporting cancer awareness, prevention and patient support, recipes that boost immunity – and taste good – and even videos of improvements

of cancer prevention Fighting off the scary “C,” according to some research, could be done with simple lifestyles changes.

The Mayo Clinic offers the following tips on reducing your risk for cancer:

Put out the cigarette and throw away the chewing tobacco.

Smoking has been linked to various types of cancer — including lung, bladder, cervix and kidney cancers. Chewing tobacco has been linked to cancer of the oral cavity and pancreas. Even exposure to secondhand smoke might increase your risk.

Eat healthy.

Pack your plate with fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. Eating lighter and leaner by limiting fat and cutting out large quantities of animal-sourced food lowers caloric intake and other health risks.

Alcohol in moderation.

Only drink in moderation, if at all. Drinking has been linked to increased risks of as breast, colon, lung, kidney and liver cancers.

Get physically active.

Help lower your risks of breast, prostate, lung, colon and kidney cancers by keeping body weight in a healthy range. Don’t think a lower weight ensures good health. Even if you are naturally a lighter person, staying active always helps. Adults who get at least 150 minutes a week of aerobic activity or 30 minutes five days a week put themselves in a healthier category.

Cover up.

Skin cancer is one of the most common and yet, easily preventable, form of cancer. Remember to cover exposed skin with tightly woven, loose fitting clothing in bright or dark colors. Use ample amounts of sunscreen on exposed skin and regardless, avoid midday sun. If you must be out in the sun from 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., stay in the shade.

Avoid risky behaviors.

Practice safe sex and limit your number of sexual partners. Hepatitis B and Human papillomavirus (HPV) can increase the risk of developing certain types of cancer such as liver, cervical and other genital cancers as well as squamous cell cancers of the head and neck.

Don’t share needles. Sharing needles with an infected drug user can lead to HIV, as well as hepatitis B and hepatitis C — which can increase the risk of liver cancer.

Take preventative health measures.

Keep up with regular self-exams and make appointments for age-appropriate screenings for skin, colon, prostate, cervix and breast cancers. Treatment is more successful when a cancer is detected early. Ask your doctor about the best cancer screening schedule for you.

Specialized treatment a va i l a b l e fo r Lym ph e d e ma St. Luke’s Hospital provides a unique and successful treatment for patients who suffer with lymphedema, a build up of fluid in extremities causing pain and discomfort. Patients suffering from lymphedema can receive some relief with Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) therapy through St. Luke’s Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation Services. Sarah Compton, physical therapist, completed MLD therapy training at Duke University Hospital, so that patients do not have to travel out of town to receive this treatment. According to Compton, lymphedema is the build-up of protein-rich fluid. The lymph system is a complex network of nodes and ducts that helps maintain the balance of fluid in the body by filtering out waste products and defending the body against infection. When lymph nodes are removed by surgery, such as surgery for cancer treatment, or destroyed by injury, the normal flow of lymph is disrupted. A backup of fluids can occur in the tissue downstream from the missing lymph nodes, especially when there also is increased activity, infection or injury. This swelling is different from that caused by tissue damage, such as from a sprained ankle, and is not relieved by the use of diuretics, which cannot eliminate the protein build up. The build-up of fluid can be gradual and without pain and can occur over a period of time. Some people do not even realize that lymphedema is occurring until it reaches a critical stage. MLD is a very gentle type of massage therapy used to drain excess fluid from the body and improve the overall functioning of the lymphatic (immune) system. MLD is combined with a

diet tips

According to The Cancer Cure Foundation, here are a few foods that might help fight off the elements that cause cancer.

Go for green.

Broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower have a chemical component called indole-3-carbinol that can combat breast cancer by converting a cancer-promoting estrogen into a more protective variety, according to The Cancer Cure Foundation. Broccoli, especially sprouts, also have the phytochemical sulforaphane, a product of glucoraphanin, believed to aid in preventing some types of cancer, like colon and rectal cancer. Avocados are rich in glutathione, which blocks intestinal absorption of certain fats. They also supply high levels of potassium and are a strong source of beta-carotene. They may even have a positive affect on liver cancer, according to some scientists.

Vibrant foods pack a punch.

Lung, mouth, stomach, intestine, bladder, prostate and breast cancers may all be fought by beta carotene rich veggie carrots. Danish researchers say a substance called falcarinol found in carrots has been found to reduce the risk of cancer. The chemical capsaicin in chili peppers and jalapenos may neutralize certain cancer-causing substances (nitrosamines). Grapefruits contain monoterpenes that can sweep carcinogens out of the body. Some studies show grapefruit may inhibit the proliferation of breast-cancer cells in vitro. They also contain vitamin C, beta-carotene and folic acid.

Cruciferous veggies.

Broccoli, cauliflower, kale, Brussels sprouts and cabbage contain two antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin that may help decrease prostate and other cancers. Kale also has indoles, nitrogen compounds, which may help stop the conversion of certain lesions to cancerous cells in estrogen-sensitive tissues. Phytochemicals found in kale are also thought to suppress tumor growth.

Fight off vampires and cancer.

Brazil nuts

Garlic has compounds that are believed to increase the activity of immune cells that fight cancer. These substances also help block carcinogens from entering cells and slow tumor development. Studies have linked garlic, onions, leeks and chives to lower risk of stomach and colon cancer.

More from mushrooms. Mushrooms like Shiitake, maitake, reishi and others contain polysaccharides that help boost immune system. Mushrooms also contain lectin, which prevents cancerous cells from multiplying.

Nutty dishes.

Nuts contain the antioxidants quercetin and campferol that may suppress the growth of cancers. Brazil nut contains 80 micrograms of selenium, which is important for those with prostate cancer. Flax contains lignans, which may have an antioxidant effect and block or suppress cancerous changes. Flax is also high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to protect against colon cancer and heart disease.

Sip your way to cancer prevention.

Green tea and black tea contain certain antioxidants known as polyphenols (catechins), which appear to prevent cancer cells from dividing. Studies have suggested dry green tea leaves, which are about 40 percent polyphenols by weight, may also reduce the risk of cancer of areas such as the stomach, colon, rectum, liver and pancreas.

C o l o nos copy best defense against colon cancer

Dr. James Holleman of St. Luke’s Surgical Associates

“A colonoscopy is very important for most people starting at age 50.” -- Dr. James Holleman

Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in men and women and is the second highest cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. The good news is that when found early, it is highly curable. The bad news is that there are usually no early warning signs for colorectal cancer. For this reason it’s important to get screened. Detecting cancer early means it’s more curable. As the disease progresses, patients may notice blood in the stool, abdominal pain, a change in bowel habits (such as constipation or diarrhea), unexplained weight loss, or fatigue. By the time these symptoms appear, tumors tend to be larger and more difficult to treat. Dr. James Holleman of St. Luke’s Surgical Associates and general surgeon for St. Luke’s Hospital explains that colorectal cancers often begin as polyps – benign growths on the surface of the colon. The two most common types of intestinal polyps are adenomas and hyperplastic polyps. They develop when there are errors in the way cells grow and repair the lining of the colon. Most polyps remain benign, but some have the potential to turn cancerous. Removing them early prevents colorectal cancer. “A colonoscopy is very important for most people starting at age 50,” adds Dr. Holleman. “The American Cancer Society recommends the procedure every 10 years for anyone 50 or older and advises having it more often and at younger ages for those at higher risk for colon cancer.” Your risk of colorectal cancer depends on genetics and lifestyle. Factors you can’t control include: age – most patients are older than 50, having polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, having a family history of colorectal cancer and having a history of ovarian or breast cancer. There are some factors that raise the risk of colorectal cancer that are within your control: decrease the red meat in your diet, maintain a healthy weight, exercise, don’t smoke and limit your alcohol intake. “The bottom line,” Dr. Holleman says, “is that colonoscopy is highly effective and a true preventive test in cancer treatment. You can avoid this cancer if you find a polyp and remove it before it becomes a cancer or find a very early cancer and remove it.” Dr. Holleman performs hundreds of colonoscopies each year at St. Luke’s Hospital. “It’s not a very exciting or cutting edge procedure, but a recent study confirms it is a life-saving procedure,” Holleman said. “As a team, we at St. Luke’s work hard to make sure the patient experience is the best possible, from the moment you come into the hospital, to the post surgical phone call through the last office appointment.”

Colonoscopy sc reening

for colon cancer

When colorectal cancer is detected early, the chances of successful treatment are the greatest. Screening also finds many polyps before cancer develops. By removing these growths, cancer can actually be prevented. If a polyp or abnormality is discovered, a small tissue sample is removed through the colonscope for further examination. If cancer is found, surgery, sometimes combined with radiation and/or chemotherapy, is the most effective method of treatment. Most colorectal cancers begin as a polyp that later becomes cancerous. If polyps are found early, they can be removed before cancer develops. In this sense, colorectal cancer is a disease that can be prevented. Eating a diet that is low in fat and rich in fruits and vegetables may also lower the risk of colorectal cancer.

Every year, about 135,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer and about 57,000 die from the disease. Most of these cases occur after the age of 50, which is why men and women at average risk should begin regular screening at age 50. However, anyone with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, polyps in the colon or rectum, or inflammatory bowel disease is at higher risk for the disease and may need to begin screening sooner and more often. If you are age 50 or older, or if you are at a higher risk because of your personal or family history, talk to your doctor today about colorectal screening. If you experience symptoms such as change in bowel habits, rectal bleeding or stomach cramps that will not go away, please see your doctor immediately.

Prevention & detection Colorectal cancer can be prevented or detected early and with little discomfort by using one or more of the following procedures available at St. Luke’s Hospital with your doctor’s order: • The fecal occult blood test is a simple at-home procedure that checks stool samples for hidden blood, which can be a sign of cancer, polyps or other internal disorders. • Colonoscopy is a procedure using a flexible, hollow, lighted tube that detects cancer or polyps inside the rectum and lower colon. The colonscope is long enough to view the entire colon. • The double-contrast barium enema is an x-ray examination that allows a radiologist to view the entire colon.

digital mammograp hy for women’s health

Sonja Lucas in St. Luke’s Hospital’s radiology department works with digital mammography.

For most women, there is one major concern especially when talking about the leading health issues facing women – breast cancer. National statistics show that about 1 in 8 U.S. women (just under 12 percent) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. With breast cancer now the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 40 and 55, all women over 40 should be screened annually. While early detection remains the key to surviving breast cancer, Digital Mammography is the latest technology in the fight against breast cancer. This front-line technology, available at St. Luke’s Hospital, uses a computer to create superior, high-quality images of the breast, which increases the physician’s ability to detect cancer and other abnormalities. Digital mammography is quicker, offering patients the convenience of being screened without waiting for wet film processing. For St. Luke’s radiologists with Hendersonville Radiological Consultants, digital mammograms provide more comprehensive visibility. This translates into a win-win situation for the patient. Recent studies have proven digital mammography to be better than standard mammography for detecting lesions in the breast, especially for women with dense breast tissue, women who are under the age of 50, and both pre-menopausal and peri-menopausal women. Because digital mammography is clearer than traditional film, the Radiologist can manipulate and magnify specific areas of the image and adjust the contrast so abnormalities are easier to see. Computer manipulation results in earlier diagnoses and lesions are often caught when they are still confined to the breast and not spreading to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body. Earlier detection means higher success rates in treating cancer. Patients will notice little difference when go-

ing for a digital mammogram at St. Luke’s Hospital. The procedure is the same as for traditional film mammography, but less time consuming, since images are ready for technologist review within a few minutes on the digital workstation. Because the radiologist can process and retrieve the images faster, nothing has to be developed. Images are analyzed on a monitor and stored. Of course, hard copies can always be produced if needed. In addition to allowing the mammogram to be manipulated and enhanced for evaluation, digital mammography allows radiology technologists to know within seconds if they captured an acceptable image. This benefits patients who no longer have to be called back in for another appointment and additional views. While compression of the tissue is an uncomfortable but necessary part of the procedure to obtain an acceptable image, the mammography staff at St. Luke’s Hospital provides education and understanding to ease their patient’s anxiety. If a mammogram indicates abnormal results, St. Luke’s Hospital can help with that, too. St. Luke’s Hospital and general surgeon Jim Holleman, MD, offer patients with abnormal mammogram results a less invasive biopsy procedure, an ultrasound-guided breast needle core biopsies with a metallic breast clip put in the breast to mark the location of the biopsy. Once the precise location of the abnormality is determined, the patient receives local anesthesia, and a needle-like device is directed to the mass to retrieve tissue samples. Previously, when a mammogram detected an abnormality, the patient had to undergo an open surgical biopsy to determine if cancer was present. The breast biopsy is a minimally invasive alternative that is more precise and may have a faster recovery time, allowing most patients to resume normal activities soon after the procedure. That is an attractive alternative considering that 70 to 80 percent of the abnormalities initially detected on a mammogram are benign, not requiring further treatment. To schedule an annual mammogram, call St. Luke’s Radiology Department at 828-894-3525 ext. 3590. For more information about ultrasound-guided breast needle core biopsies, call St. Luke’s Surgical Associates at 828-894-3300.

Celebrate national farm safety and health week Sept. 15-21 Farmers maintain safety priorities Farming remains one of the most hazardous occupations in the United States. That is why North Carolina Farm Bureau is working with the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety (NECAS) to promote safety and health in your community. National Farm Safety and Health week is September 1521, 2013. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theme is Working Together for Safety in Agriculture. The theme rein-

forces the importance of us all making a joint effort to be sure farmers make it home to their family at nightâ&#x20AC;Ś so do you. There were almost 600 deaths and 70,000 disabling injuries attributed to agriculture in 2010. These figures are especially important during harvest season, as farmers are putting in long hours under the stress of weather delays, equipment breakdowns, and high operating costs. Whether you are an equipment dealer, veterinarian or

farmer, everyone plays a role in promoting safety. Think of it like cogs in a machine; alone each cog is just one small part of a system, but together, it makes a system work. According to Doug Harmon from Polk County Farm Bureau, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farmers need to set some priorities to reduce the risk of injury to their self, their family and their employees. This week, we honor their efforts to prepare our next generation with the knowledge and training they need to stay safe and healthy.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Think of it like cogs in a machine; alone each cog is just one small part of a system, but together, it makes a system work.â&#x20AC;? North Carolina farmers, farm workers and their families, and their partners work together to reduce the number of deaths, injuries and health issues. - article submitted by Mandy Wolfe

Monitoring large-scale plant poaching on the Blue Ridge Parkway The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and Walnut Creek Preserve (WCP) invite the public to attend a free program about “Monitoring large-scale plant poaching on the Blue Ridge Parkway,” presented by National Park Service Ecologist Nora Murdock. The program will be held at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve on Saturday, Sept. 21 at 10:30 a.m. The Southern Appalachian Mountains are well known for their extraordinary diversity of plant life, including many native medicinal herbs, as well as species that are in demand by collectors and for the floral industry. Federal landmanaging agencies (National Park Service, US Forest Service) operate under different legal mandates, with the National Forests allowing controlled commercial harvest of some plants, and the National Parks not allowing such harvest. However, all land managers are working to maintain viable populations of native plants. Managers and biologists from many agencies are expressing concern over

the increasing level of harvesting (and poaching) occurring on public lands. Some of these plants do not recover quickly (or at all) from intensive harvesting, and are being eliminated from habitats that are accessible to poachers. In the National Parks, poachers are penetrating deeper into the most remote backcountry, as more accessible populations of target species are disappearing. The illegal harvesting of plants on a commercial scale for the herbal remedy and floral markets is of growing concern along the Blue Ridge Parkway, where individual poachers have been intercepted leaving the park with tens of thousands of plants, taken for sale in markets throughout the United States, as well as for export to international markets. The species that appear to be most threatened by poaching at present are ginseng, black cohosh, trilliums, bloodroot, and a rare form of galax that grows only in a narrow band along the southern Blue Ridge Escarpment.

Making a difference in lives of peers and getting involved Senior Tar Heel Legislature Are you age 60 or older, involved in the community, and would like to make a noticeable difference in the lives of your peers? Yes, then we need you. The North Carolina Senior Tar Heel Legislature was created by the State General Assembly in July 1993 to: provide information to older adults on the legislative process and matters being considered by the General Assembly; promote citizen involvement and advocacy about aging issues; and assess the legislative needs of older adults by convening a forum modeled after the General Assembly. Each county has one delegate and one alternate to the Senior Tar Heel Legislature. Delegates and alternates must be age 60 or older. The State Division of

Aging provides staff support for the Legislature in cooperation with the 16 Area Agencies of Aging who are responsible for conducting the selection of delegates and alternates. Delegates, alternates and support staff from the Region C Area Agency on Aging in Rutherfordton travel to Raleigh three times a year in March, June and October to meet with other delegates and alternates from across the state to work together on issues of all nature relating to seniors. If you would be interested in serving your county and your peers, contact Laura Lynch at the Area Agency on Aging at 828-287-2281, ext. 1232. Travel, lodging and meal expenses will be covered by the Region C Area Agency on Aging. - article submitted by Laura Lynch
