New House of Flags museum almost readyOpening set for NovemberbySamanthaHurst

Patriotic sentiment flows from the ceiling and the walls as you step into the House of Flags Museum in Green Creek.

Board members anxiously await the chance for that same feeling to emit from Columbus when the museum moves to its new location there in November. Board chairman Robert Williamson said the op-portunity to move to Columbus would allow the museum to share its collection of more than 300 flags, and the history they tell, with a wider audience.

“We as a people have a history of telling

Jones retires from Tryon Water Plant after 25 yearsTown recognizes her service with reception, resolutionbyLeahJustice

Tryon Water Plant Supervisor Betty Jones has decided to retire after working with the town for 25 years.

Jones is the town’s water expert, having worked at the town’s original water plant that used mountain water, the former plant that brought Lake Lanier on as the town’s source in 1988 and the recently completed reha-bilitated plant that is able to use both sources.

Tryon employees joined Jones during a reception in her honor Tuesday, Sept. 13. The town presented Jones with a resolution approved by town council that recognized her service.

Her last day of work was yes-

terday, Thursday, Sept. 15.Jones began her employment

in Tryon on Jan. 14, 1987 and was promoted to water plant supervi-sor in 1991.

“Betty Jones has performed her jobs with the Town of Tryon’s water system with skill and dedi-cation, facing difficult times of severe drought, overseeing devel-opment of Tryon’s multi-tiered emergency drought response and conservation plan and coordinat-ing major projects and upgrades for the town’s water plant,” states the town’s resolution.

During her career, Jones earned many certifications and participated in numerous pro-fessional organizations. She also assisted the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) on numerous occasions teaching

Artists and farmers fairDebbi Thomas approached the Saluda Board of Commissioners Monday, Sept. 12 with a request for a special event permit. Thomas is leading efforts to host Saluda’s Artist and Farmer’s Fair. The fair would take place Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. in front of Nostalgia Courtyard businesses. The event is being put together to highlight local artists and farmers not featured in larger events this year. Any proceeds generated will be donated to the Saluda Community Land Trust and Polk County Agriculture Department. Council members unanimously ap-proved the request and waived any necessary vendor fees for participants.

Saluda police reportsThe Saluda Police Department reported assisting with 10 state traffics stops, three civil issues, serving 12 warrants, working one larceny and one traffic accident and assisting with Henderson County and Columbus in checkpoints in the month of August. Two officers recently completed radar training as well. Commissioner Johnny Kinard said as soon as all the officers are trained, radars would be set up on a regular basis through town limits.

Landrum police reportLt. Tim Edgens reported that the Landrum Police De-partment wrote 49 traffic citations, with eight arrests; worked 32 criminal investigations with 32 arrests; worked six accidents and wrote 78 warning citations.

Landrum fire department remains busyLandrum Fire Department responded to 25 emergen-cies, bringing their total up to 202 already this year. This number is 31 more calls than the same time last year. The department also assisted in cleaning out underground drainage pipes for the city. One firefighter is taking emergency vehicle training and 10 are taking Firefighter One training.

classes on water treatment as well as assisted several neighboring communities with their water treatment facilities.

Town officials credit Jones’ guidance for the town being awarded the 2008 North Carolina Safe Drinking Water Act Excel-lence Award for medium size sur-face water systems by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the North Carolina Chapter of the

American Water Works Associa-tion and the North Carolina Water Environment Association.

Jones said her retirement is bittersweet as she is ready to retire from the work, but will miss the people.

“I won’t necessarily miss the job,” she said, “but I will miss the people.”

Jones plans to spend more time with her family after retiring.

Greg McCool will take over as the town’s new operator in charge at the water plant.

our story through flags,” said Williamson. “That’s what I per-sonally love about all of the flags in our collection – they each tell a story.”

William Washington’s fiancé ripped curtains off the wall of her home to stitch together a per-sonal battle flag for Washington, George Washington’s cousin, before he took up arms in the American Revolutionary War. A replica of that flag hangs from the museum ceiling.

Meanwhile, many flags flown early in the nation’s history pres-ent the image of a Timber rattle-snake, which only strikes when provoked. Many of these read, “Don’t tread on me,” as a proc-lamation of settlers’ frustration with what they considered unfair taxation by England. Others show the evolution of our nation from 13 stars and 13 bars to 13 bars and 50 stars, as the nation grew.

There are also three flags on

display honoring those that died in the September 11 attacks.

Constructing the new home for the museum has been a labor of love for board members and volunteers.

“It didn’t happen all at once, but it’s a testament to the commu-nity support behind this project,” Williamson said.

Efforts to remodel the build-ing, which formerly served as a city hall and fire department for Columbus, will have taken less than a year to complete because of volunteers and donations, Wil-liamson said.

“I’ve still got to compile the latest numbers, but we believe more than 350 donors have been a part of this effort,” said board member Frank Ortiz.

Donations include two from an anonymous donor in the amounts of $10,000 last year and $30,000 this year, for a total of $40,000. In August, The Timken Foundation of Canton, Ohio,

awarded a significant grant to the museum. Upon completion the second floor will be named the Timken Room and the Tim-ken flag will be featured there.

“The House of Flags Mu-seum is extremely grateful to receive such a generous grant from the Timken Foundation of Canton,” Williamson said. “This grant will substantially fund Phase II (second floor) of our museum remodeling project.”

Most recently, the House of Flags also received a $1,000 donation from Duke Energy.

“The donations made it pos-sible to hire contractors and pur-chase the materials we needed when we needed them. The money and volunteers were what made this happen,” Wil-liamson said.

One of the major contribu-tors was the county. County commissioners donated the new museum building for 30 years at $1 a year.

Because the donation was made, Paul Sutherland said board members went from try-ing to discern how they would raise $1 million for a new build-ing to simply needing $100,000 to remodel the existing Colum-bus location.

“We’ll be accessible now, being on one of the most trav-eled roads in Polk County,” Sutherland said.

Board member Bob Lair chimed in that the increased accessibility would allow them to market the museum to groups further away and to those just passing through.

“You can have field trips for children and bus tours for groups,” said volunteer Bob Lair. “The location is ideal because you will have the Polk County Historical Museum, the courthouse and the House of Flags right in a row.”

One of the aspects that means the most to board members is that many of the flags were donated from local service

members, by past visitors to the museum or in honor of loved ones who have passed on. This will allow volunteers to tell personal stories that might help better connect visitors with the symbolism each flag represents – that of patriotism, courage and passionate ideals.

As visitors step into the lobby of the new museum they will find themselves surrounded by emblems of military heroes, including the three-star flag of the late George Axtell of

The27officialAmericanflagshanginacircleaboveameetingroomintheoldHouseofFlagsMuseum.(photobyCarolBuisier)

Tryon. Axtell, a WWII veteran, donated the flag to the museum just before he passed away ear-lier this year.

While in the South Pacific, Axtell’s squadron had 124.5 kills, the highest in the Okinawa campaign. For this success, Axtell was awarded the Navy Cross on April 28, 1945. Axtell’s wife, Shirley, is expected to cut the ribbon at the House of Flags opening in November.

The Birth of a Nation room will take individuals on a his-torical journey through the country’s long path to become a new nation. They will see replicas of flags flown outside the tents of generals in war and of the various countries whose flags and ideals had a hand in crafting our own.

In the feature room of the museum one can find a circle of flags representing the 27 official United States flags, surrounded on the walls by flags from all 50 states and the U.S. territories. They will learn about the state of Ohio’s flag and how there is only one other flag shaped like it in the world. They’ll see the progression of states joining the Union as each one created its own emblem as its star joined the nation’s flag. They will also have

the chance to view a collection of war posters from World War II that all used the flag as a symbol.

“People fly flags to show their patriotism,” Williamson said. “When you go back to any major crisis you see that people flew the flag as a sign of solidarity.”

Board members hope to fur-ther educate visitors to the museum by providing audio tours through the building. The group is currently seeking out other grants to cover the costs of putting such a program together.

There is still work to do to get the new museum open in time for Veterans Day on Nov. 11, 2011. Floors need to be fin-ished, boxes need to be moved and flags need to be rehung from walls and ceilings. If you are interested in volunteering your time, call Paul Sutherland at 828-894-2514.

The new House of Flags Museum will be located at 33 Gibson Street in Columbus.

The House of Flags is a North Carolina not-for-prof-it corporation and an IRS 501(c)3 organization. Accord-ingly all donations to the mu-seum are tax-deductible. If you want to support the museum visit the website www.house-offlags.org or contact by mail at P.O. Box 1090, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

Local fiber group to meet Sept. 20 at ag centerDye garden project plannedbyBarbaraTilly

A group of fiber enthusiasts began meeting this summer to discuss ways of building the local fiber economy and reviv-ing the area’s rich fiber tradi-tion. Members may include spinners, knitters, weavers, fiber producers and proces-sors – anyone who works with fiber.

The group will meet again Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 6 p.m. at the Mill Spring Agricultural Center. Anyone interested in fiber is welcome.

Among the items on the agenda for this month’s meet-ing are:

• Developing a brochure to promote the group and fiber-related activities in the area

• Discussing possible events the group could hold

• Planning a garden of plants used to produce natural dyes

• Discussing other possible

group activities, such as dem-onstrations of fiber techniques.

At the group’s August meeting, attendees shared information about their craft or farm. The items displayed ranged from hand weaving, felted and beaded bags, quilted artworks and hand-dyed wools to kudzu paper and “franken sweaters” made by felting and sewing together wool from old sweaters.

The group discussed creat-ing a directory of area fiber-related resources and holding shows highlighting local fiber artists and area farms where fiber-producing animals are raised.

One possibility was a mini-show in November at the ag center. Tentatively named “Lla-mas on the Lawn,” the show could feature llamas, alpacas and other fiber animals. It could also offer demonstrations of dyeing, spinning, felting and other techniques, as well as dis-plays of locally produced fibers and fiber art for sale.

Columbus Lions table plans for rebuilding crossSince the Columbus Lions’

cross on Tryon Peak was destroyed almost 2½ years ago, club members have been investigating ways in which the cross might be rebuilt. After hitting one road block after another, they have with much regret voted to table the project indefinitely.

The Lions’ Cross shone from Tryon Peak every Easter and Christmas season for more than 50 years. It withstood many storms in addition to challenges from the American Civil Liberties Union, but it did not survive the work crew from Crown Castle Corpora-tion (owner of the communications tower on Tryon Peak) that removed it from their tower during the Easter season of 2009.

The Lions did not know why the cross lights went out until they drove up the mountain and found the structure had disappeared overnight. When contacted, Crown Castle explained that they had re-

cently purchased the tower and had removed the cross when they found no lease or paperwork authorizing the cross to be mounted there. They stated that they were in the process of making structural repairs to the tower and the added weight of the cross may have contributed to the problems.

Although the Lions had a rent-free agreement with the previous owner of the tower, they had no legal claim once the tower was sold to Crown Castle. Crown Castle did offer to provide a piece of their land on Tryon Peak if the Lions wished to build a tower of their own.

The problems the Lions en-countered when they considered building their own tower went far beyond cost. After investigation, they learned that any tower they constructed would be regulated by the Federal Communications Corporation, the Federal Aviation

Authority and N.C. Ridge Law. In addition to discovering laws regarding light pollution, they also learned that only communi-cations and emergency systems towers can exceed 40 feet in height, which would be insuf-ficient for the cross. Therefore, the Lions abandoned the hope of building a tower themselves.

Then an individual came forward and offered to allow the Lions to mount the cross on a communications tower he would

be constructing on Brushy Ridge of Hogback Mountain. Unfortu-nately, the option was eliminated when it was determined that a cross at that location would not be visible in the Columbus area. At this point, the Lions concluded they had no choice other than to table indefinitely any plans for rebuilding the cross.

Money remaining in the cross fund will be used for other local Lions service projects. Citizens can contact the Columbus Lions at P.O. Box 121, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

Court Results

Saluda continues to press forward on city hall repairsby Samantha Hurst

Saluda City Hall’s impact on the ambiance of downtown, as well as energy efficiency, have taken top priority in the minds of city leaders as they take another step toward making repairs to the historic building.

“The question is can we replace the windows with vinyl or alumi-num and retain the historic feel of the building,” said Commissioner George Sweet. “I’m convinced we can. Ernie [Williams] and I are try-ing to come up with a way we can do this at a reasonable cost and at the same time reduce our heating and cooling costs and our mainte-nance costs.”

Bids have been received for replacing all the windows upstairs and downstairs, except for the main windows on the front of the build-ing. Bids have also been received for repairing the brick and mortar on the building’s façade. This last step must be completed before any other repairs are made, including replacing the leaking roof.

Two estimates were submitted

for brick with one slightly more costly, but Sweet said the company has done a lot of work on buildings in Hendersonville.

Several local contractors said they were not interested in tying themselves up that long on one job, Sweet said, although they were contacted. Sweet proposed to hire Outlaw Masonry. John Morgan seconded the motion.

The proposal from Outlaw in-cludes sealing all of the bricks and mortar on the building for $9,702.

Replacement of the upper and bottom windows will cost $14,684. Replacing the front windows alone will cost $15,000 because of the way the building is built out on the inside. Replacing the windows will mean restructuring the frames.

To complete all windows in the building will cost about $30,000.

The city allotted just $10,000 in this year’s budget for renovations but will look to other options to fund the rest of the renovation costs.

The Saluda City Hall building was last restored in 1986 but is about 100 years old.

Stephanie Kompathoum will demonstrate papermaking at TPS’ Art, Wine and Cheese Sept. 27. (photo submited by Christine Mariotti)

The September Art, Wine and Cheese event of Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS) will feature a demonstration by papermaker and painter Stephanie Kompathoum.

This is a first for the artist’s group. TPS has never featured a handmade papermaker at its event before and members said they are curious about how one goes about making paper and then assembling it into a painting.

Kompathoum has a pa-permaking business entitled Oakmother Handmade Pa-per. She offers classes and

workshops for people of all ages and abilities. She is experienced in pulp painting and paper casting, often using local plants and other fiber materials.

The Art, Wine, and Cheese event will take place on Tues-day, Sept. 27 at 4 p.m. in the TPS studios at 26 Maple Street in Tryon. After the demonstration, attendees will enjoy refreshments and view the current exhibit of paint-ings and sculpture at the gallery.

Visitor spending in N.C. hits record $17 billion

North Carolina businesses took in more from visitor spend-ing last year than they ever have before. Visitors to North Caro-lina spent a record $17 billion in the state in 2010, an increase of 9 percent over 2009, accord-ing to the N.C. Department of Commerce.

The state reports that 183,880 jobs in North Carolina were directly supported by visitor spending, which also gener-ated nearly $1.5 billion in tax revenue for state and local gov-ernments, a 10 percent increase from 2009. Visitor spending was up in 98 of the state’s 100 counties, and 13 of the counties saw double-digit increases.

N.C. Governor Bev Perdue attributed the increased visitor spending to investments that have created a higher quality of life in the state.

“The progress is attracting people and businesses to move here, and, as we see from this data, it also is drawing more tourists and visitors each year, fueling the tourism industry, a critical economic driver in North Carolina,” said Perdue.

According to the state, tour-ism spending supported nearly $4 billion in payroll income in North Carolina last year. Meck-lenburg County has more than 41,000 employees in tourism-related businesses, the most of any county. Wake was second with 18,430 and Guilford was third with 11,440.

Mecklenburg County also led the state in tourism spending with approximately $3.7 bil-lion, followed by Wake County with more than $1.5 billion and Guilford County with more than $1 billion. Only Columbus and Northampton counties saw declines in visitor spending last year. Tourism spending figures

are estimates based on sales and tax revenue figures, along with employment data.

***Travel through Greenville-

Spartanburg International Airport (GSP) continues to rise since Southwest Airlines arrived at the airport in March.

GSP set another record for passenger traffic in July, serv-ing 170,020 passengers for the month, an increase of 37.2 per-cent over July 2010. The total was also up 2 percent from the

previous all-time high set in June.

GSP said it expects pas-senger traffic

will remain high. After South-west began service in March, Delta Airlines began using larger airplanes to serve more passengers from GSP.

The airport said it could see an additional increase in traffic next year when AirTran Airways discontinues its service from Asheville, N.C., but continues flights from GSP.

***The N.C. House and Senate

approved this week a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, sending the issue to voters next year in a referendum.

The state already has a law that recognizes only hetero-sexual unions as legal mar-riages. How-ever, the Gen-eral Assembly is pushing to put a same-sex marriage ban in the state’s constitution, which supporters said will send an even stronger message to gay couples that they should not seek legal marriage rights in North Carolina. The proposed constitutional amendment also would prohibit the state from accepting non-marriage civil unions.

The proposed amendment passed by a 75-42 vote in the House and a 30-16 vote in the Senate. Voters will decide in next year’s May primary elec-tion if the amendment will be made to the state’s constitution.

Supporters of the bill agreed to hold the referendum during the primary election rather than the November 2012 general election after Democrats ob-jected that Republicans were pushing the issue to boost turnout during the presidential election. Supporters of the bill said it may have an even better chance of passing in the May primary because turnout will be boosted by the Republican primary.

North Carolina currently is the only state in the southeast that does not ban gay marriage in its constitution.

The U.S. Postal Service said it will close its processing and distribution facility near Hick-ory, N.C., and consolidate the operations at the Greensboro, N.C., processing and distribu-tion center.

The Postal Service said it expects significant savings from the consolidation, which will result in a loss of jobs in the Hickory area but a boost for Greensboro. About 176 people currently work at the mail cen-ter in Hickory, according to the postal service, which plans to

reassign some “career em-ployees” from Hickory to Greensboro.

Local offi-cials in the Hickory area fought to keep the center there, but their appeals did not persuade the postal service, which is fac-ing a potential default at the end of this month on a $5.5 billion payment to the U.S. Treasury. The postal service, which does not use federal funds for opera-tions, must make the payment as part of a requirement to prefund retiree health benefits. The postal service has asked Congress to eliminate the re-quirement, noting that other federal agencies do not face the same obligation.

The postal service also is seeking to cut its workforce by up to 220,000 and close 3,700 offices nationwide, including 20 in North Carolina. The pro-posed closures do not include any offices in Polk County.

was spotted in North Carolina in some residential areas and near some farm fields in July, and has been seen in areas across South Carolina.

Researchers said the in-sect, also known as the brown marmorated stink bug, caused extensive crop damage last year in parts of Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania. The insect can feast on crops such as apples, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, toma-toes, peppers, swee t co rn and soybeans.

Research-ers said this may be the year that the insect reaches North Carolina.

“It really wasn’t until last year until the populations (in the mid-Atlantic states) unex-pectedly exploded,” said Jim Walgenbach, a researcher at NCSU’s Mountain Horticultur-al Crops Research & Extension Center in Mills River. “Listen-ing to my colleagues up there, it sounded like a biblical plague.”

Walgenbach said the insect is likely to expand more quick-ly in the Carolinas because of the warmer climate.

***Bertie County in Eastern

North Carolina is trying to recover after suffering through three major disasters in the past year. The county received more than 24 inches of rain and endured days of flooding when Tropical Storm Nicole passed through last September. More than 200 homes and businesses were destroyed and boats were used to rescue some residents from upper floors of buildings. Seven months later tornadoes ripped through the county, kill-ing 12 people and destroying 67 homes. Many other properties suffered severe damage.

The most recent disaster to hit the county came from Hur-ricane Irene, which brought more widespread flooding. The county’s two major cash crops, tobacco and cotton, were severely damaged.

Bertie is one of 33 counties in the state that are eligible for federal disaster assistance fol-lowing Hurricane Irene.

Despite the recent string of disasters, many of the county’s residents said they are stick-ing around to help the county rebuild. After debris from the hurricane is removed, residents said they will get back to work

on rebuild-ing structures damaged in the tornadoes.

“I love it here ,” sa id

Bertie County resident Tricia Jerrigan. “It’s country. Nobody bothers you. Where else would I go?”

***The South Carolina Depart-

ment of Natural Resources (DNR) said it’s formulating a plan to address increased bear sightings in the state. The agency said its goal is to keep the state’s bear population at a level that fits with land-use objectives and acceptable levels of human contact.

The state reports that more than 200 bear sightings have occurred in Upstate South Carolina so far this year, far more than what was reported last year. Only 110 bear sight-ings were reported in all of last year, according to the state.

DNR said it has no records of bears attacking people in the state, but it reminds residents that feeding bears is illegal and could result in a fine of up to $500.

to try to make sure all children have breakfast during school and even in the summer.

The federally-funded pro-gram will begin as a pilot program in 28 schools in the state, offering free breakfast to s tuden t s who qualify for the federal free or reduced-price lunch.

The state said about 640,000 students in North Carolina qualify for the free or reduced meals, but fewer than half of them participate in school breakfast.

The state, which ranks 11th in the nation for households fac-ing food hardship, announced the program along with its partner organizations, national nonprofit Share Our Strength and North Carolina nonprofit N.C. Serves.

According to the state, one in four children are at risk of hun-ger in North Carolina. Organiz-ers said they plan to expand the program eventually to include meals during the summer.

Share Our Strength already has similar partnerships in 14

other states and plans to l aunch the program in four others this year.

“In the states where we’ve already done it, we’ve seen huge results – literally tens of thousands of kids added to school breakfast, added to summer meals, so we know that we can do that here in North Carolina,” said Bill Shore, founder of Share Our Strength. “The federal money is set aside to pay for it and it’s money that comes into North Caro-lina and buys milk from local dairy farmers, bread from local bakeries, so it’s a win-win for everybody.”

Tryon Methodist gleans end-of-summer harvest for food pantries

Tryon United Methodist Church (UMC), a partner with Society of St. Andrew (SOSA)/The Gleaning Network, gleans food that farmers decide not to pick at the end of the summer season. The food is then donated to local food pantries.

In early August, Green River Farm in Mill Spring invited SOSA to pick blueberries, and in one morning volunteers picked

82 pounds of blueberries, which were given to Thermal Belt Outreach.

Later in August, 10 members of Tryon UMC picked more than 800 pounds of apples at a church mem-ber’s home. Highwood Apart-ments, Steps to Hope and Thermal Belt Outreach were all recipients of the fresh-picked fruit.

On the veterans front, I recently received an email from Tryon Rotarian Judy Lair with the good news that there will be another Hon-or Air Flight in November. This will be a single-day trip and is free of charge to Western North Carolina WWII veterans. Transportation will be provid-

ed to and from the a i rpo r t . The flight will depar t f rom G r e e n v i l l e -Spar tanburg Airport (GSP)

on Tuesday, Nov. 8. If you are a WWII veteran

or know of one who would like to make the trip please contact JoAnn Naeger by emailing her at [email protected], or call 828-258-2991 for a veteran and guardian application.

Honor Air Flights are a great opportunity to honor our WWII veterans for their service. Our hats are off to the many who have made these trips possible.

Saturday morning at the Mill Spring First Baptist Church on Hwy 108, “Tickle Pink” members Marsha Greene, Jean Pack, Cindy Staggs, Shirley Odel and Grace S. will host a Relay for Life benefit breakfast from 7 - 10:30 a.m.

This breakfast allows those passionate about Relay for Life to help the organization raise funds and show thanks to the community for its support. Shir-ley says there will be the full country breakfast, homemade biscuits, sausage, eggs, grits, waffles, bacon and more. All pro-ceeds will benefit Relay for Life.

Wishing everyone a wonder-ful weekend, and remember all life in the foothills affords us – great homegrown food, patriotic neighbors and so much to be thankful for each day.

Polk County is all a flutter with activity as people feel the excitement of fall and the har-vest season.

Fall brings a variety of cel-ebrations to our communities, with farmers bringing their bounties in from the field, com-memorations of our veterans and giving thanks for our bless-ings.

Vaughn Loeffler, the Polk County Farmer’s Market man-ager, says there are lots of fresh home-grown vegetables, eggs, honey and more available for purchase right here at our local farmer’s markets. Did you know Polk County is the second largest apple producer in the state, sec-ond only to Hendersonville?

Vaughn says there are more than seven varieties available at the markets, along with squash, lots of peppers, okra, potatoes, pumpkins and some end-of-season tomatoes. Charlene’s Garden, always a favorite, has local sausage and, of course, lots of produce.

This afternoon the Polk Fresh Farmers Market will be held in Saluda at the West Main parking lot from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. and tomorrow morning you have two options.

Landrum’s Farmer’s Mar-ket, at the Depot, starts bright and early at 7 a.m. and the Columbus Farmer’s Market at the Womack building parking lot will be open from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Can’t make it to the farmer’s market? No problem, you can order your fresh produce on line. Visit www.farmersfresh-market.org.

Are you a local farmer and have produce you want to sell? You can do that too!

For anyone interested in local agriculture there will be a free Friends of Agriculture breakfast next Wednesday from 7 - 8 a.m. at the 4H Center in

Want to go? What: Polk vs. Madison

When: Friday, Sept. 16@ 7:30 p.m. W h e r e : Po l k Coun t yHigh School

by Daniel Hecht

With last week’s defeat at the hands of the Landrum Cardinals rapidly fading in the rear view mir-ror, Polk County will begin their quest for a third straight Western Highlands Conference football championship tonight at the Little Big House.

Head coach Bruce Ollis ac-knowledges that his squad will have their work cut out for them, as the 3-1 Wolverines play host to the undefeated Patriots of Madison High School in what promises to be an entertaining and highly competitive contest.

“This will be the second week in a row we have played an undefeated team, so we will have to be at our best,” said Ollis. “We’re trying to do the little things bet-ter – working on fundamentals and getting back to basics. We need to be able to play a complete game. Even in our three victories, we have yet to play well for the entire 48 minutes.”

Coming into the season saddled with a seven game losing streak, head coach Mark Gosnell has engineered a dramatic turnaround, as Madison, with a record of 3-0, is off to the best start in school history. The Patriots offensive attack will be spearheaded by sophomores Tyler Rogers at quar-terback (418 yards, four TDs) and Tyler Hoffman at running back

(382 yards, two TDs), and senior Dalton Ledbetter at wide receiver (seven receptions for 179 yards and two TDs). The offensive line will be anchored by junior center Josh Matthews, while sophomore Chey-enne Bunner, one of just a handful of female athletes playing high school football in North Carolina, will handle the placekicking duties.

Quarterback Alec Philpott, returning from a shoulder injury sustained in the season opener, is

expected to start under center for the Wolverines. The Polk offense will face a significant challenge from a ferocious Madison defense, led by senior linebacker Dustin Fender. The Patriots forced six turnovers in their 14-7 victory over West Henderson last week, and no opponent has managed to put more than 10 points on the scoreboard against Madison this season.

Without question, the Wolver-ines have their eyes locked onto

the big prize. “These are the games that de-

termine your seeding for the state playoffs and give you an opportu-nity to hang a conference champi-onship banner,” said Ollis. “Our focus and preparation has been good this week, and our players and coaches are looking forward to getting back on the winning trail.”

The action kicks off at 7:30 this evening under the lights at Polk County High School.

Landrum will hit the road on Friday after two weeks of drama at home.

The Cardinals will face off with Dixie, which is turning into a battle of two teams that appear to be going in oppo-site directions.

T h e H o r -nets are off to a rough start t h i s s e a s o n , dropping the first three games against South-side Christian, Palmetto and Crescent.

The Cardinals, on the other hand, may be as hot as any team in the 1A ranks. Landrum has its first 3-0 start since

string of eight straight losses. The Cardinals’ offense is

Tucker Hamrick is grooving the spread offense from one end of the field to the other and Cannon is putting together a strong season in the early going.

Cannon has thrown for 705 yards and ran for 290 yards. The defense has also responded with Cannon, Chasten Thomas and Ryan Herbst leading the charge.

Landrum wil l have two more games before they get into their region schedule. Landrum will travel to Dixie tonight at 7:30 p.m. and will host Liberty next week at 7:30 p.m.

Q. should I use my applicable exclusion ($1million) during my lifetime or upon my death?A. Many people have the misconception that it is best to “save” their applicable exclusion amount until their death.However, a more powerful leveraging technique is to utilize it during your lifetime. If you use your applicable exclusion amount by making lifetime gifts, the value of the gifts will appreciate in the recipients’ hands and not in your taxable estate. Between investment growth and inflation, the value of the gift should be substantial. For example, assuming the value of your gift will double every 7.2 years, if your life expectancy is 21 more years, a $1 million gift will be worth $8 million in the hands of the recipients at the end of the time. assuming a 55% tax rate, you would have to leave over $17.7 million to provide your heirs with the same amount.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Belynda Veser, MD, a psychi-atrist for the Center of Behavioral Medicine at St. Luke’s Hospital, will speak about the journey through Alzheimer’s on Tuesday, Sept. 20 in the St. Luke’s Board Room. She will discuss: What is geriatric psychiatry; what to expect during inpatient treat-ment; medication management; types of available psychiatric and medical testing; purpose of a treatment team; and discharge planning options.

After Dr. Veser’s presentation, residents will have the oppor-tunity to meet members of the Geriatric Psychiatric Treatment Team for a question and answer session. Becky Brodar, outreach coordinator, and Stephen Cefalu, LCSW, will be available.

A native of Pennsylvania, Dr. Veser earned her undergraduate degree, BSN, from the Univer-sity of Delaware in 1991. She graduated from Eastern Virginia Medical School in 1995 with a doctor of medicine degree before completing her geriatric psychiatry fellowship at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). From 1995-1999, she completed a residency in psychiatry at MUSC.

Dr. Veser’s experience in-cludes being the clinical in-structor MUSC Department of Psychiatry from 1999 until the present, general adult private practice from 1999 – 2004, a psy-chiatric consultant for the public defender’s office and staff physi-cian in the emergency department at Charleston Memorial Hospital. Dr. Veser joined St. Luke’s Hos-pital medical staff in 2006.

“As Alzheimer’s progresses, behavioral problems are com-mon,” explains Dr. Veser. “Al-zheimer’s patients can become easily agitated and have difficulty with both long and short-term memory, have problems with judgment and begin to have difficulty with such basic daily activities as dressing, eating, grooming and using the bath-room. Some of the most common problematic behaviors include:

agitation, aggression, combative-ness, delusions, hallucinations, insomnia, and wandering. Be-havioral symptoms may be the result of a treatable problem such as pain, infection, discomfort and can be treated through both non-pharmacological and phar-macological treatments.”

You can join Dr. Veser as she explains treatment options for Alzheimer’s and offers strate-gies for managing the disease on Tuesday, Sept. 20, at 5:30 p.m. in the St. Luke’s Hospital

Board Room. Space is limited, so please call 894-2408 to reserve your spot.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Dos and don’ts of supplementsIn previous columns, we’ve

explored exactly what vitamins and minerals are and why they are so important for our health.

This week I’d like to show you how to and how not to take your supplements.

My favorite multivitamin/min-eral supplement is called Provide, manufactured by Solaray. The allowances and ratios in Provide are the ones I suggest my own clients take.

I do recom-mend however, that everyone read the nutritional profile given on the label of any nutritional supplement taken.

The profile of a nutritional supplement gives the serving size (by the way, sometimes the dosage is more than one pill or tablet), the allowances, which are usually measured in (mg) milligrams, (mcg) micrograms or (Iu) international units and the percentage of the nutrient’s daily values, which is the term on food labels of the RDA (recommended dietary allowance) designed to help consumers use food labels to plan a healthy diet).

Now let’s go over some supplement do’s and don’ts. Do take your multivitamin/min-eral supplements with food.

There are two reasons for this. First, of all vitamins do not ab-sorb well without food. Second, vitamins, particularly B vitamins can make you nauseated if taken on an empty stomach. • Don’t take vitamin supple-

ments with dinner, or at night, if you don’t sleep well. Vita-mins can sometimes act as mild stimulates, and can interfere with sleep.

• If the form of calcium you take is calcium citrate, don’t take with food. If the form of calcium you take is calcium carbonate, do take with food.

• Don’t take calcium and vita-min C within an hour of each other. The reason for this is that calcium is a base, and vitamin is acidic. If they are in the stomach at the same time, they

will negate each other’s affects.

A n o t h e r dietary supple-ment I recom-

mend is called coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10. CoQ10 is known as a ubiquinone. This means that it is found throughout the body. It’s a powerful antioxidant that also af-fects the mitochondria, or energy producer of the cells, especially in heart cells.

One thing to be very careful of though, is to check with your doctor to make sure you have no conditions that would make starting a supplement program contraindicated.

Also, check with your doctor and pharmacist to make sure that any medication you are on is not affected by any supplement you may be taking.

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,

Thursday, sepTember 15, 2011 Tryon daiLy buLLeTin / The WorLd’s smaLLesT daiLy neWspaper page 15

I decided to take a week off from the actual physical labor at Foothills Humane Society to give these old bones a rest and get caught up on a few things. It was Wednesday, or perhaps Thursday, sometimes my days run together, when I had to meet someone at Landrum vet at 7:30 a.m.

My dear wife, Elaine, asked what was on my agenda as I was leaving.

“Just a few things to tie up,” I said smiling.

I was meeting a single mom who had been laid off from a good paying job and was now working part time with good friends and supporters.

Her dogs, Pokie, a shitzupoo, and Muffin, a golden lab mix, needed care and necessary vac-cinations. She couldn’t afford where she was staying and was downsizing but couldn’t take Muffin along.

She very much wished to keep Muffin if she could and I deemed her a responsible owner so I had already set things in motion.

At the vets office Pokie was put in a cage to be clipped, groomed and examined later that morning as Dr. Maiola tended to Muffin.

I utilized the time to visit with Jewel and told her that tomor-row I intended to take her visit-ing some good friends and sup-porters, which by the way I did, that was a fun story in itself.

Muffin checked out okay and we left with some drops for a minor ear infection. By 8:30 a.m. Muffin and her mom were in my car headed toward Dogwood Farms Kennels.

Josh had already been in-formed and was willing to help me in the matter. Josh and his family at Dogwood Farms are valuable members of my support team and have assisted me often in the past.

Josh greeted us all and then slowly introduced Muf-

Another day in the life

fin to the group of 12 or more dogs already in his yard. In about 15 minutes all tails were up as the dogs happily accepted Muffin to their group.

Muffin expressed her joy by immediately jumping into the pool for a swim. Muffin’s mom was very pleased and all her anxieties faded.

“Josh is very good at this,” I said smiling.

Later I hand-ed Josh some money, which is never enough for what he does for

me. Josh asked if I could get some collars to help move dogs around.

“Done,” I told him, “and I’ll be back later to discuss Blos-som.” Blossom is a sweet beau-tiful 2-year-old Am-Staff whose adopters opted for another dog at the last minute.

Back in my car with Muffin’s mom I headed toward FHS, a slight detour before heading back to Landrum. At the shelter I took a bag and loaded it with collars and harnesses of all sizes for Josh. We have loads of them that we give to adopters when needed.

While there Lani pulled me

Bojangles (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

aside to discuss Bojangles, a sweet little kitten that I’d met a few days earlier. Bo has severe nerve damage in his left front leg and it’s all twisted ala Snowy.

He had been sent to Lan-drum vet for examination and to see what could be done. Unfortunately for Bo the best thing for him was amputation and FHS does not have funds for that.

“Call Landrum vet and tell them to go ahead and bill Lennie’s Fund,” I told Lani.

“Thanks Lennie,” Lani re-plied.

“No thank you Lani, a job well done,” I said.

We left and headed back to Landrum vet where I was im-mediately greeted by a smiling Elaine and the rest of the staff. Elaine was holding little Bo in her arms and you could hear him from 10 feet away.

“Give me that little purr ma-chine,” I said, taking him from her. “Fear not little guy,” I said nuz-zling him, “You’ll be joining a very noble team of tripods that are close to my heart and I haven’t any doubt that you’ll be some-

one’s loving pet.”I wrote a check for what was

owed from my personal fund, save the great discounts Landrum vet affords me and promised to handle the rest when I picked up Jewel tomorrow.

I received a tearful hug of gratitude from the lady I was helping and I told her,

“Just calm down and get your life together, it’ll be better for the dogs and don’t lose your faith in the Lord, believe me, no matter how difficult thing seem, He is the answer.”

I left her waiting for Pokie and headed back for Dogwood Farms, stopping for gas on the way. I stopped to check on Muf-fin when I arrived and she came to the fence, soaking wet, with a glorious smile on her face.

I delivered the collars and sat down for a wonderful cup of coffee and refused food, tell-ing them that I have some left-over lasagna at home that has my name written all over it. They were delighted with the collars and I smiled to myself, knowing that often it’s the little things that make the difference.

• Day in the life(conTinueD From page 35)

We then discussed Blossom whom I had met at my last fund raiser where she absolutely daz-zled everyone. It’s too bad her adoption fell through, I probably could of sold her right then and there.

“Oh well, “ I thought, “I once again must trust in God’s plan.” Josh promised to send me photos and whatever info he had on her, though I knew her story and believe me, it’s typical, her story may come one day.

I left with one more stop to make before heading home, the Frog and Swan to see Randy Grobe. To Randy’s credit, he knew all about Blossom and who had fostered her and saved her from euthanasia. He promised he would assist in finding her a home and I have since added her to Lori Jewel’s website from Pet Tender Angels.

Please realize that my visits are not as quick as when I write them down, so it was nearly two p.m. when I arrived home.

“You have two messages,” my wife said as I was down on one knee loving up my own kids.

“I’ll get them in a bit, darling,” I said smiling, “lasagna first, I’m starving.

Thanks for listening.

On Sept. 1, Tryon authors Ford and Mara Smith published an update of their popular wine compendium, “Winning Wines: Medal Winners for $12 or Less.”

The 2011-2012 edition con-tains 723 wines from the results of the major wine competitions which perform blind taste tastings. To qualify for this book, each wine must have medaled in more than one of these reliable competitions. Consequently, “Winning Wines” lists the best-tasting wines at the best prices.

To kick off book sales, the Smith’s will appear at Tryon’s La Bouteille on Friday evening, Sept.16. They will pour selected wines from their lists as well as sign copies. The “Wine & Sign” will begin at 5 p.m. and end at 7 p.m., just in time for the Summer Tracks concert at Rogers Park.

For more information on the Smiths’ wine lists, check out their website, www.winningwines. com. There are lists such as “The Best Bang for the Buck” and “All Wines Scoring 90+ Point Wines No Matter What Their Price.”

‘Wine & Sign’ book signing, Sept. 16

There is also a consistency indica-tor to help find a reliable choice, if the tested vintage is not on the shelf. There are aids to determine the sweetness/dryness level of various types of wines.

Join La Bouteille owner Shelly Block and authors Mara and Ford Smith at the 10 N. Trade St. on Sept. 16 at 5 p.m. The event is free.

No Job Too Small • Bucket Truck Avail

Dear Savvy Senior,I’m looking for some good

low-vision products that can help my wife who has severe vision loss. What can you rec-ommend?

Searching Spouse

Dear Searching,With more than 21 million

Americans living with some form of uncorrectable vision impairment today, more and more products for low-vision are being developed that can help with many different needs. Here is a quick guide to some great products and where to find them.

Low-tech aidsThere are literally hundreds

of simple, relatively inexpensive products on the market today that can help people with low-vision.

For example, to help with daily living tasks you can find a wide array of “talking,” “large print” or “jumbo-sized” items such as clocks, watches, remote controls, telephones, computer keyboards, calculators, thermo-stats and kitchen aids, as well as a wide variety of magnifiers.

You can find these products at sites like independentliving.com or 800-537-2118; shoplowvi-sion.com, 800-826-4200; maxi-aids.com, 800-522-6294; and lssproducts.com, 800-468-4789.

In addition to the simple products, there are also a number of high-tech, low-vision devices that offer incredible capabilities. Unfortunately, many of these items are expensive and aren’t covered by private insurance or Medicare. Here are some to check out.

Desktop magnifiers: Also known as closed circuit TVs, these are home-based machines that provide powerful magnifi-cation, contrast and clarity for reading, writing and looking at pictures.

While this type of technology has been around for a while, more styles and variations are

available today with prices usu-ally ranging between $2,500 and $3,000. Some of the best places to find these are at: optelec.com, 800-826-4200; freedom-scientific.com, 800-444-4443; enhancedvision.com, 888-811-3161; and humanware.com, 800-722-3393.

Portable magnifiers: For reading small print in and out-side the home (food labels, prescriptions, bills, menus, etc.), portable, battery-powered video magnifiers provide the same features as closed circuit TVs, but they’re small enough to fit in your pocket.

Some good ones to check out are the “RUBY” at freedomsci-entific.com, the “Compact Mini” from optelec.com, the “Pebble” at enhancedvision.com and the “Feather” at clarityusa.com. Prices typically range from $350 to $650.

Text-to-speech: For con-verting text to speech, there are several devices that let you take a snap shot of printed material (magazines, newspapers, books and mail, etc.), and in seconds it reads it aloud.

The ClearReader+ from op-telec.com is one of the best for home or office use, but costs $2,500.

If you want mobility, the Intel Reader (careinnovations.com) is a handheld text-to-speech device that retails for $899. And for iPhone 4 users, the new ZoomReader app developed by Ai Squared (aisquared.com, 800-859-0270) provides text-to-speech capabilities for $20.

Computer magnification: To customize a Microsoft Win-dows personal computer for low-vision, the computer’s op-erating system offers built-in setting adjustments that can help. See microsoft.com/enable for instructions.

High-tech gadgets to assist those with low vision

Savvy Senior If that’s not sufficient, Ai Squared sells a fantastic soft-ware application for $545 called ZoomText Magnifier/Reader that enlarges, enhances and reads aloud everything on the computer screen.

Or, if your wife uses an iMac or iPad, Apple provides some outstanding built-in accessibil-ity features (see apple.com/accessibility), including screen and cursor magnification, high-contrast settings and screen reader capabilities.

Low-vision cell phone: The Samsung Haven from Verizon Wireless is a basic flip-phone that provides voice command (you tell it what to do) and voice output (it speaks to you) technol-ogy that lets you easily operate it without vision.

The cost: $40 with a two-year contract. See verizonwireless.com or call 800-256-4646.

Talking GPS: To find her way around town, the Trekker Breeze is a small handheld GPS navigator that announces the names of streets, intersections and landmarks as she’s walking or riding in a vehicle. Available at humanware.com for $929.

Currency reader: To avoid being shortchanged at the store, the iBill (small enough to at-tach to a key ring) identifies all U.S. bills by voice or a series of tone or vibrations. Price: $99 at orbitresearch.com or 888-606-7248.

Savvy tip: To learn more about low-vision products and to try many of them out, visit a vision rehabilitation agency in your area. See afb.org or call 800-232-5463 to locate one.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Saluda School playground dedicationOn Aug. 23, during Parents’ Night at Saluda School, phase two of the new playground was dedicated. Principal Ronette Dill and Tryon Kiwanis Club President Steve Cobb presented a plaque, which will be mounted near the playground. The plaque reads: “Our school community appreciates the contributions made by Tryon Kiwanis Club, Saluda Elementary PTSO, parents and community volunteers. It is our hope that this playground will be a place for carefree fun and laughter for the children of Saluda.” As the pictures show, carefree fun is already happening.
