St. Luke’s gets green light for expansionGroundbreaking expected early 2012by Samantha Hurst

The N.C. Department of Health Service Regulation ap-proved a certificate of need (CON) Friday, Sept. 9 for a proposed six-bed replacement facility on the St. Luke’s Hospital

campus in Columbus. Hospital officials originally

expected the approval to come sometime before Nov. 29, with plans to have designs finalized by then.

Dr. Brian Rosenberg of Rosen-berg Bone and Joint said hospital board of trustee members were thrilled to get good news about

the CON approval last week. “St. Luke’s Hospital’s entire

orthopedic team is very excited about the building plans our board has worked hard to imple-ment. We were notified it would be late November before we had an answer, so it’s terrific that

Jackson said, “It’s heart-warming to see how every-thing came together so, for lack of a better word, organi-cally.”

we are able to move forward,” Rosenberg said. “This could not have happened without advocacy and support from our patients, our medical staff, the board, our foundation and the community.”

St. Luke’s Hospital CEO Ken Shull said the early approval would not change the overall timeline.

“We already had the design of the facility on the fast track and it will still take them until the end of November to have the design and documents ready for us to put our project out for bid,” Shull said.

Shull said the hospital expects to break ground by February 2012, with construction com-pleted by January 2013.

The new six-bed wing will feature 280-square-foot patient rooms, which will be more than twice the size of the current 100 to 120 square-foot rooms filling most of the rest of St. Luke’s wings.

Hospital spokesperson Kathy Woodham said the new wing will focus on the increasing number of orthopedic patients coming through the hospital with the addition in 2004 of Rosenberg Bone and Joint.

• St. Luke’s(Continued from page 1)

Woodham said those types of procedures have increased 50 percent in seven years. The average knee patient will spend two to four days recovering, she said.

Officials call this orthopedic patient wing Phase I and said they have intentions to eventually replace the 40-year-old facility. Phase I connects the new wing to the administrative hallway.

The 15,000-square-foot ad-dition is projected to cost $5.6 million. St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation has raised $1 mil-lion toward the project, with expectations of raising another $1 million. Additional funds will be raised through bank financing.

“St. Luke’s Hospital’s entire orthopedic team is very excited about the building plans our board has worked hard to implement. We were notified it would be late November before we had an answer, so it’s terrific that we are able to move forward.”

-- Dr. Brian Rosenberg

Other community private caterers and guests chefs include Pat Strother and Jimmi Buell. Ag center volunteer day cater-ers Maddie Ramsey, Vivianne Torrence and Peggie Armstrong have been harvesting local apples for desserts.

Additional contributors in-clude Dawn Jordan, Restoration Farm and Blue Planet Organ-ics with Vaughn Loeffler. Polk County’s Overmountain Vine-yards, Rockhouse Vineyards and

Wineries and La Bouteille are also sponsoring the event.

During the night, guests can also peruse inFARMation sta-tions – displays of a variety of area farms and sustainable com-munity action groups such as Transition Polk.

They can also bid on a silent auction with featured local items such as a hand-painted coffee table from Peggy Armstrong with a map of the county surrounded by county scenery, introductory flying lessons or wrought-iron work.

Jackson said the event cleared more than $5,000 for the agricul-tural center last year. She said



this event happens only because everyone pitches in however they can.

The center asks guests to bring their own unique soup bowl that they are willing to leave behind for the ag center to use for future events. No plastic or resin bowls, please. The center has metal folding chairs for about half the crowd. If you have a chair you would like to bring and donate, organizers would appreciate it.

The Open house that evening is from 5:30 – 6:30 p.m. and 6:30 – 9 p.m. is the supper, auction, music and raffle.

In case you are wondering, Jackson said “farmtastick” is the dress code for this al fresco dinner.

Blue Ridge Log Cabins featured on ‘Extreme Makeover’ premiereby Samantha Hurst

It’s official; the ninth season premiere of ABC’s “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” airing Sunday, Sept. 25 will feature Blue Ridge Log Cabins of Campobello.

Blue Ridge CEO Chip Smith said crafting the epi-sode’s home meant more than putting hammer to nail on a frame.

“This project is much more than just the construction of one home. It has become a call-ing for me personally and the entire Blue Ridge Log Cabins team, and I am certain that viewers will be as touched as I was by the story of the Jubilee House and by the larger issue of homelessness among our countryʼs veterans,” Smith said.

The special two-hour pre-miere will chronicle Blue Ridge Log Cabinsʼ build in Fayetteville, N.C.

This particular home was constructed for Steps-N-Stages Jubilee House, a shelter for displaced female veterans. A 15-year Navy veteran, Barbara Marshall, used her own money, to establish the Jubilee House for homeless female veterans. The shelter not only provides a safe place to rest their heads, but also support and services such as life coaching.

“Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” selected Marshall and Jubilee House for the series be-cause the two-bedroom cottage she purchased for the shelter limited the amount of good she could do. She simply needed more space.

Most of the construction of the new Jubilee House

took place at Blue Ridge Log Cabinsʼ facility in Campo-bello. The home was then transported in 13 sections to the building site, where it was completed in about 106 hours.

“This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Blue Ridge Log Cabins,” Smith said. “The demands of this build and the unique needs of this home presented us with a challenge unlike any we had ever faced. The success of this project truly is a testament to the talents of the employees of Blue Ridge Log Cabins. It was a team effort from start to finish.”

Also making a special ap-pearance on the show will be First Lady Michelle Obama. Mrs. Obama participated in the episode about the rebuilding of the shelter as part of her Join-ing Forces initiative, which is designed to highlight the plight of military families.

“This project is much more than just the construction of one home. It has become a calling for me personally and the entire Blue Ridge Log Cabins team, and I am certain that viewers will be as touched as I was by the story of the Jubilee House and by the larger issue of homelessness among our country’s veterans.”

As the nation observed the 10th anniversary of this tragic day, people everywhere remembered and prayed for the survivors and those who lost loved ones.

Church attendance increased by approximately 25 percent im-mediately after 9/11 but dropped back to “normal” within two months. When you listen to the news, how often do you hear words like “never before," "un-precedented," "not in this decade" or "record breaking?”

It is human nature to turn to a source of comfort during difficult times. Have you ever heard the derogatory term, “jail house re-ligion?” But, don’t most people pray more when they experience tragedy?

What does God think of those who are motivated to seek Him only because they are experienc-ing trouble? Hebrews 4:16 says, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may

obtain mercy, and find grace and help in time of need."

Romans 5:8 says, “But God commended His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Any time is the right time to seek God.

When the disciples asked, “What will be the signs of your coming and of the end of the age?," He responded with words of wisdom, “And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars, see that you are not frightened or troubled because this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place. All this is just the beginning, the early pains of the birth pangs… so when you see these signs, know that it is near, even at the doors. As were the days of Noah, shall be the coming of the Son of man be. For just as in

those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, being given in marriage, until the very day Noah went into the ark.”

Sounds like today’s news, doesn’t it? We don’t hesitate to read a manual produced for our benefit by a manufacturer. So, doesn’t it make good sense to read the Bible, God's manual for His creation? The laws and promises of God are just as dependable as the laws of gravity. Just like a manual, if we follow the instruc-tions, we won’t have a personal life, family and nation that falls apart as a result of not following God’s loving instruction.

Joel chapter two says that if God’s people turn to God with their whole heart, he will heal their land. God is no respecter of persons, which means He doesn’t play favorites. Galatians chapter three says that all of the promises given to those in the Old Testament are for believers today.

So what can we do in these difficult times? Jesus, in His wis-dom, made the promises simple to understand and receive. He tells

us to seek the kingdom of God, to love God with all of our heart and to love our neighbor as our self.

During the Great Depression and horrors of war and holocaust, the citizens of our nation worked together. During that time, in the United States, more people per capita attended church and tithed than we do today. Let us return to the safety of God’s plans for us.

God provides protection for us just like an umbrella. We know if we step out from under the protec-tion of God’s will, we move away from His protection. When we see a road sign that says “bridge out,” we should take heed. When we see the signs of the times, we should listen to God’s word and be prepared.

God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Tim 1:7. Jesus promised, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid”. John 14:27.

one. Read your Bible more than ever. Don’t know where to start? Read the book of John and then read all the words of Jesus. They are the words in red in most Bibles.

What does being in right stand-ing with God really mean? It just means asking forgiveness and allowing God to give you a brand new start, a clean slate and a new beginning.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

In my own life, many years ago, it was like leaving the team that always lost to join the team that always has victory.

Many Bible scholars believe we are living in the perilous times of which Jesus spoke. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we were remem-bered as the people that turned a nation back to God, instead of the nation that was like the one in the days of Noah?

sports Polk women’s tennis dominates early in seasonby Samantha Hurst

The Polk County women’s tennis team spent the first few weeks of the season grabbing dominating wins, including a 6-3 victory over Mountain Heritage Tuesday, Sept. 13.

Wolverine players took their first conference win, 8-1, over Avery Sept. 8. Just the day prior, the girls triumphed over Chapman – a 5-2 win Coach Joel Picher said he was quite proud to get.

“They [Chapman] are just a strong team and that was a good gauge for us,” Picher said. “It’s always good to play them early in the season because it lets us know how we’re going to fare in our conference.”

The lady Wolverines have beaten Chapman in both a scrimmage and regular match so far this season.

Picher said he’s current-ly focused on working with his players to improve their doubles work in terms of con-sistency.

“You could have two players who can’t pull out a win in their singles matches, but can pull out a win in doubles against the same girls they lost to earlier, simply because they can feed

Polk Middle School volleyball on 3-0 winning streakby Leah Justice

The Polk County Middle School girls’ volleyball team has started its season undefeated, with a record currently at 3-0.

The Wolverines have matched up against Macon, Brevard and Rugby and have yet to lose a set.

Head coach Beth Burroughs

said the team’s goal this year is to win the division and the con-ference, having placed second in division and second in conference last year.

“I think we’re more aggressive and have more fire this year,” said Burroughs. “Everyone on the team is working hard on offense

and defense.”The Wolverines’ two setters,

Lily Owens and Madi Siegfried, have gotten at least 15 assists per set and 30 assists in each match so far this season, Burroughs said.

Owens also served 12 points in a row during the first match against Macon.

Haley Kropp, Ashley Love and Savannah Rose have been powerhouses with many kills dur-ing the first three games.

The Wolverines played at home against Apple Valley on Wednesday, Sept. 14 and play again on Monday at Henderson-ville at 4:30 p.m.

Landrum approves $1.4 million 2011-12 budget by Samantha Hurst

Landrum City Council members approved the city’s final budgetary plan for the 2011-2012 fiscal year, mak-ing several cuts to the origi-nal proposal to make up for revenue shortfalls.

The final approved budget amounted to $1,431,915.

“[Revenues] were looking really good through the end of May,” said city ad-m i n i s t r a -t o r S t e v e Wo l o c h o -wicz . “We had a little slowdown in June but we haven’t got-ten a whole lot [of rev-enue] in July and August either.”

According to the most re-cent census numbers, many of the small towns in Spar-tanburg County dropped in population. Landrum had 2,472 residents in 2004 and only 2,376 in 2010.

“That amounts to about 3.9 percent, which doesn’t sound like a lot, but to us it’s a pretty significant amount,” he said. “I think people are just mov-ing where the jobs are.”

What does that mean for the town’s budget? It means less revenue flowing in.

“I think the problem with property tax could be based on collections by the county,” Wolochowicz said. “Based on the last census, we saw a number of vacancies and foreclosures which are also having an effect.”

Property tax collections were down by about $30,000

compared to this time last year. But hospitality tax fees are up, Wolochowicz said.

The state legislature also cut the local government fund, which is a redistribu-tion of state taxes for the third year. Before they start-ed cutting, three years ago, Landrum received about $70,000 each budget year.

Now the city sees a return o f a b o u t $ 5 0 , 0 0 0 – a loss of $ 2 0 , 0 0 0 over the past three years.

Wolocho-wicz elimi-nated a plan to add a ben-ef i t s pack-age to one employee’s contract in

the street maintenance depart-ment. The city also chose not to purchase a new police car unless funds from a grant come through and to shrink smaller line items such as tree trimming.

Landrum’s millage rate will remain at 73.9 mills and if revenues improve, the city council does have the option of instating a 3-percent cost of living contribution to staff.

“We’re just trying to chip away at some of that discre-tionary money,” Wolochow-icz said.

The city’s rate of expendi-tures this year is below target, Wolochowicz said, which means he expects the city could still put funds back. He will provide a full sum-mary of this past fiscal year to council in November, in-cluding information on what the city has been able to save despite tightening budgets.

“[Revenues] were looking really good through the end of May. We had a little slowdown in June but we haven’t gotten a whole lot [of revenue] in July and August either.”

-- Landrum City Administrator Steve Wolochowicz

Wood speaks on ‘The Unhappiest Unmarried Couple in England’

Drummond House Co. In-teriors will sponsor a presenta-tion by English author Martin Wood’s at the Lanier Library on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 2 p.m.

Wood will give a talk and picture presentation called “The Unhappiest Unmarried Couple in England.” This talk is the story of the design partnership between Nancy Lancaster, the Virginia-born decorator who, together with the English prince of decorating, John Fowler, in-troduced English country style, bringing together comfort, beautiful colors, fabrics and everyday living even in grand English houses. This partner-

ship would influence the next half-century of both English and American design.

Wood has lectured exten-sively in both the United States and Great Britain. He is here on a lecture tour in the South. He has written three books on decorating and two garden books.

Wood has a new book com-ing out later this year on the great American decorator, Sis-ter Parrish.

Following the presentation there will be a tea and book signing.

Celtic musician Jamie Laval to perform Sept. 20 at Lanier Library

Celtic musician Jamie Laval will give two performances at the Lanier Library on Tuesday, Sept. 20.

At noon he will introduce him-self and give a short recital for the library’s monthly Brown Bag Lunch program and at 7 p.m. He will perform a special evening concert. Both programs are free and everyone is welcome.

Laval takes his audiences on a journey through the traditional music of Scotland, Ireland, Brit-tany and Quebec. Described by the San Jose Mercury News as “One of North America’s finest practitioners of Scottish music,” he combines classical refinement with intense passion and transforms simple Celtic melodies into epic tonal narratives.

Laval’s trademark style began forming when he studied classical violin at the Victoria Conservatory of Music in British Columbia and became more refined through his numerous performances with symphony orchestras, folk clubs, dance halls, festivals and in record-ing studios.

In 2002 he won the U.S. Na-tional Scottish Fiddle Champion-ship and began a touring career, which now includes more than 100 engagements a year in the United States and Scotland.

His critically acclaimed debut recording, “Shades of Green,” airs regularly on television and his duo

album, “Zephyr in the Confetti Fac-tory,” with man-dolinist Ashley Broder, won Best World Traditional Song in the 2007 Independent Music Awards Vox Po-puli.

He has also collaborated on numerous tele-vision, film and CD recordings, including Dave Matthews’ “Some Devil,” Warner Brothers Pictures’ “Wild America” and the WB televi-sion series “Ever-wood.”

L a v a l n o w lives in Asheville and takes a keen interest in the mu-sical and historical ties that connect Appalachia with the Celtic roots of many of its pio-neers. He currently serves on the faculty of the Swan-nanoa Gathering, a summer insti-tute for traditional arts and music.

The Lanier Library is located at the corner of Chestnut Street and Melrose Ave. in Tryon. For directions and more information,

Tryon Arts and Crafts offers class in Appalachian-style ribbed basketry Sept. 24

Tryon Arts and Crafts School (TACS) is offering a workshop in Appalachian-style ribbed bas-ketry, taught by Carla Filippelli of Asheville, N.C., on Sept. 24.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn the basics of Appalachian-style ribbed basketry and will create a tradi-tional potato basket during this workshop. Once the technique is understood; students will be able to extrapolate to other sizes and styles. Instructor will provide a variety of hand-dyed reeds, all tools, supplies and handouts needed for the class.

Tricks of the basket-weaving craft, safety tips and discussion of the rich heritage of crafts in the region will all be topics for discussion and exploration. Bring reading glasses. Some hand strength is necessary.

Filippelli and her husband Greg have been weaving bas-kets for more than 25 years. As self-taught basket makers, they delight in the intuitive creative process. Today, their free-form style of weaving known as “ran-dom weave” has developed into distinctive functional baskets and sculptural art for the walls. They are represented in galleries and

exhibitions nationwide and are currently invited artists in the international Arts in Embassies program in Tallinn, Estonia.

Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information about the instructor or workshop, including tuition and supply costs, please contact TACS at 828-859-8323 or by email at tryonartsandcrafts@

windatream.net. More details and examples of projects are avail-able on the Tryon Arts and Crafts website, www.TryonArtsand-Crafts.org. A limited number of spaces are available for this class.

Tryon Arts and Crafts is a non-profit crafts school located at 373 Harmon Field Road in Tryon.

Tryon SDA offers Breathe Free, a smoking cessation workshop, Sept. 20

Breathe Free is a smoking cessation workshop being of-fered by the Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church.

The Breathe Free workshop is a group interaction, behav-ioral change workshop. It in-cludes an introductory session explaining the program and preparing individuals for the smoking withdrawal process. There are seven more sessions that help each person in his or her cessation process.

Participants are instructed how to handle the smoking urges and what to expect in withdrawal symptoms. They also learn how to handle the lasting psychological associa-tion that can engender return to the smoking habit.

Medical personnel will share their knowledge of cigarettes and what they do to the body. There is a video every evening and group discussion follow-ing the video designed to help

strengthen individuals’ resolve to live a longer, healthier life.

The first session will be Tuesday, Sept. 20, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Each session will be an hour to an hour and a half. They will be held at the Tryon Seventh-day Adventist Church at 2820 Lynn Rd.

This program is free to all those who attend. For more information, please call 828-859-6407.
