Norwegian bikers pause in Tryon on East Coast tourby Samantha Hurst

The roaring engines and gleaming metal of Harleys appear commonplace on most weekends around the Thermal Belt, especially as the lure of changing leaves draws people into the mountains.

There was someth ing unique, however, about the pack of bikers that rolled through downtown Tryon Fri-day, Sept. 16.

The 25 men and women touring the area were visiting all the way from Norway.

“We were told the Blue Ridge Parkway through the mountains was a very scenic route,” said tour leader Magnus Ellingsen. “This is our first tour of the East Coast.”

Ashley Meadows at White Oak Apartments, located off Hwy. 108 near Polk County High School, has petitioned the Town of Columbus for annexation. (photo by Leah Justice)(Continued on page 4)

Circle just outside the town along Hwy. 108 near Polk County High School. The complex includes six build-ings and 48 units, which house approximately 115 people.

Ashley Meadows Prop-erty Manager April Lathan said the complex’s reasons for wanting to be a part of Columbus are twofold, in-cluding guaranteed police protection provided by the town and lower water bills for residents. Ashley Meadows is a multi-family complex geared toward lower-income residents, and Lathan said residents are having a diffi-cult time paying outside town rates for water and sewer.

Annexing Ashley Mead-ows would bring the town

increased tax revenue but would reduce water and sewer revenue significantly.

Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said he will work to provide council with information about how much state revenue reimbursements, such as sales tax and beer and wine tax, would increase be-cause of the gain in population.

Kanipe provided council with figures on how bringing Ashley Meadows inside the town would affect tax rev-enues, as well as its effect on revenues from water, sewer and garbage fees.

The complex is currently assessed at $2,007,307 in tax value, which would bring $7,026 in annual property tax revenue to the town.

Water and sewer rates are higher for residents outside town limits. Ashley Meadows currently pays, at outside rates, an average of $52,665 per year in water, sewer and water line fees.

If Ashley Meadows were annexed into the town, resi-dents would be required to pay garbage rates, but would receive reduced water and sewer rates.

The town estimates the total revenue to the town’s enterprise (water/sewer) fund would be $27,029 if the com-plex is annexed. The town contracts garbage services with All Bright Sanitation, so officials didn’t count the added garbage fees as revenue.

The total loss in water/sewer revenue would be an estimated $25,636 annually if the property is annexed, comgined with the tax revenue gain of $7,026.

Officials have made no estimates yet on whether the town would see an increase in state tax revenues because of the population increase if the annexation were approved.

Columbus recently denied a request for a non-contiguous voluntary annexation from Giardini’s Gardens & Trat-toria, a restaurant located on Hwy. 108 just beyond the high school. The town denied Giardini’s request twice in about a year.

Council gave no indica-tion last week how it feels about adding the apartment complex and population to the town.

A public hearing will be required before council con-siders the final annexation request.

Lane Adventure of Norway, brings regular groups of bikers to the states for trips that traverse thousands of miles and weeks of travel. Two Lane Adventure has organized trips for more than 1,000 people since 1999, accord-ing to the website.

Ellingsen checked his odom-eter to find 1,953 miles added to his wheels since leaving the New England states.

Landrum bans bath saltsby Samantha Hurst

The term “bath salts” no longer represents a quiet moment of re-laxation. In some circles, bath salts represent a dangerous way to get high, one that police departments and paramedics are combating on an increasingly regular basis.

Lt. Tim Edgens of the Landrum Police Department asked Lan-drum’s City Council Tuesday, Sept. 13 to ban the sale or possession of the substances within city limits.

Edgens said most officers on Landrum’s police force hadn’t even heard of the substances until a call came in about an out-of-control individual earlier this summer.

“EMS was trying to figure out what to do to calm him down so we had to ask him what he was on… we didn’t even know what it was when his friends told us,” Edgens said. “When people use this it kind of has the same effects as PCP – it makes a wild man out of a person.”

One council member asked if Epsom salts were included, but Ed-gens explained that this substance was not similar to traditional bath salts at all. He said these “bath salts” had no actual relation to the type of salts used in spas or home bathrooms.

“Some chemist has come up with a cocktail of different chemi-cals that they can call bath salts and sell it legally, but actually what people are doing is snorting them, smoking them, injecting them,” Edgens said.

Edgens said he’s discovered the synthetic product is being sold in a few local convenience stores. He said although the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has banned three of the chemicals used to make the products, enforcing such a vague restriction is almost impossible for local law enforce-ment.

Mayor Robert Briggs encour-aged council to approve the ban within Landrum.

“What cities are doing in re-sponse to there being a lack of a law is to pass an ordinance banning the stuff,” Mayor Briggs said. “We don’t need our young children espe-cially being able to get their hands on this stuff.”

Landrum City Council members passed such an ordinance Tuesday, Sept. 13 in a unanimous vote.

Edgens said the next step is for the police department to send out a notice to local stores to remove the product from their shelves.

way to the Blue Ridge Parkway down through Virginia and into North Carolina.

“It’s beautiful country,” said one biker named Mortem.

Apparently the weather had been favorable as well.

“This is the first time on the trip we’ve had to put on our jack-ets,” Ellingsen said of the weather Friday.

The group, perched on the backs of 16 bikes, parked just in front of the Tryon clock tower as they grabbed a bite to eat at Elmo’s.

Shortly after lunch the leather wearing crew jumped back on their bikes and headed south to the South Carolina line. Ellingsen said they’d travel to Charleston next

before making their way down to the Florida Keys via the old scenic byway of Route 1.

The group’s entire trip navi-gates 3,000 miles up and down the east coast.

Foothills Chamber of Com-merce Director Janet Sciacca, who happens to be a bike enthusiast herself, said bikers are drawn to our area and that’s a good thing.

“It’s the mountains and the curvy roads that the bikers like and that’s great for bringing people into Polk County and Landrum,” Sci-acca said. “If you ride a motorcycle and you live in South Carolina, Hwy. 176 and Highway 9 are two extremely popular rides with bik-ers, and so all those shops along the way see a lot of business from those that come through.”

Autumn Care receives state enhancement grantAutumn Care of Saluda has

been chosen as one of three facili-ties in North Carolina to receive a Long-Term Enhancement Grant from the North Carolina Coalition for Long-Term Care Enhance-ment and the Division of Health Service Recognition for 2011. The facility plans to use the $14,900 grant to renovate its out-door courtyard space.

“We are extremely honored to have been selected for this oppor-tunity,” said Administrator Glenn Pierce. “The funding will allow us to take an under-utilized space and develop it into a multipurpose, safe outdoor environment for our residents.”

According to Activities Co-ordinator Joyce Coggins, the project fills an important need at the facility.

“The renovation will add a number of new opportunities and features including a ‘wandering’ path for residents with dementia, new social areas for family and friends to visit, a water feature and various sensory garden features for the residents,” Coggins said.

The renovated area will also enhance the facility’s Rehab De-partment.

“We are designing a special ‘rehab sidewalk’ as part of the project,” said Rehab Manager Matilda Patrick. “There will be a section of sidewalk that will have all types of surfaces, useful in helping residents make a success-ful transition back home.”

According to Pierce, Autumn Corporation is also providing

funding for the project. “Autumn Corporat ion is

matching the state grant, allow-ing us to add patio covers and new outdoor furniture to the space,” he said. “With our temperate climate, we see the courtyard being used eight to nine months of the year.”

The competitive grant process took over a year of preparation, Pierce said.

“We had a grant planning committee composed of resi-dents, staff, families and commu-nity members. We are especially thankful for our neighbor Pat War-ing who helped bring the many concepts to fruition.”

Waring is a landscape consul-tant who lives across the street from Autumn Care. John Hines of New Image Water Features in

Campobello, S.C., is the general contractor for the project.

Autumn Care of Saluda is a 99-bed skilled nursing and reha-bilitation center.

The Red Horse Inn in Landrum was recently chosen by AAA inspectors as one of the Top 10 Places to Enjoy Fall Colors.

Inspectors said they chose the inn, which is located on more than 200 acres at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, because it “offers breathtaking views of the natural surroundings, rock formations and foliage.”

Other top 10 inns were located in Virginia, Maryland, Oregon, New England, Minnesotta, British Columbia and Canada.

Peak foliage in the Upstate is from the second to fourth week in

October as a general rule of thumb but will continue into November.

“The scenic views here are one of our greatest selling points. It enhances the overall serenity of the inn. We’re always at capacity during foliage months – but it’s nice now that the world knows our little secret,” said innkeeper Mary Wolters.

The inn features six private cottages and six rooms as part of the main inn.

You can read the complete list of inspector picks on AAA’s travel blog at AAATravelViews.com.

Big splash for Big Brothers Big Sisters at pool partyThere’s hardly a better way

for kids to end the hot summer than splashing in a cool pool with other kids. In August, the local Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) organization gave Littles and Bigs the opportunity to gather for a group celebration of summer fun before all the children headed back to school.

Big Sister Carolyn Ashburn and her husband Chuck Hearon shared their backyard pool for the event.

During a brief storm that forced a time-out, all gathered under tents and umbrellas to snack and visit. No one grum-bled much about the intermis-sion, organizers said, but as soon as the storm passed, the children went back to their wa-ter play. While one Little Sister spent the entire time practicing swimming, other Littles en-joyed games, floats and races in the pool.

BBBS hosts several group activities annually. Bigs and Littles schedule other outings twice a month to engage in activities both enjoy, such as going to plays, cooking, plant-ing flowers or attending a sports event.

The annual party was made possible in part by a grant from the Arthur M. and Frances H. Wilhelm Fund at the Polk Coun-ty Community Foundation.

In addition to the traditional community-based matches, BBBS has a school-based pro-gram that serves children in area elementary schools.

There is always a waiting list of boys and girls who need and want a mentor. Those interested in volunteering with Big Broth-ers Big Sisters are encouraged to call 828-859-9230 for more information.

TheBird Box

by Simon Thompson

Bald cardinals with somewhat reptilian bare black heads - who ever would see such a thing? Well, welcome to the heat of mid-summer and with it the reports of bald-headed northern cardinals, blue jays and even common grackles.

Every year I get emails and phone calls describing these mu-tant-looking birds that aside from their featherless heads otherwise look exactly like the aforemen-tioned species. I must admit that the first time I saw one of these somewhat bi-zarre looking birds I thought it must have been very sick.

Most birds molt their feathers twice a year, replacing all or most of their feathers over a period of a few weeks to a month or so. This is easily seen in our summer resident scarlet tanagers. The males are brilliantly colored red with black wings and tail when they arrive in the spring. By the time late summer rolls around the males’ red feathers are slowly being replaced by green.

The birds retain this green plumage through the win-ter months on their wintering grounds, only regaining their red coloration before they begin to again move north in our spring. It is the same with indigo bun-tings.

The males lose their bright blue plumage in September and molt to a very even brown before their southbound migration. They then superficially resemble the plainer females and immature birds, but they do retain some blue feathers in their wings and tail.

As in many species, male indigos will molt back into their spring finery before they return north to breed. Even during their spring migration some of the males appear in a rather unusual combination of brown and blue feathers.

Here in the mountains of West-ern North Carolina, many of our

resident birds also molt in late summer, usually after they have finished their breeding season.

With many species, such as tufted titmice, Carolina wrens or Carolina chickadees, it’s not very noticeable, but with others the results can look very peculiar indeed and this is especially no-ticeable in cardinals and blue jays. Annual molting may indeed be part of the “baldness syndrome,” but it also may be a result of

an infestation of feather mites or lice. It seems as if immature birds undergo-ing their first molt may be just as likely as adults to un-

dergo this feather loss and we don’t really understand why they lose all of their head feathers at one time.

Staggered feather replacement is the normal molting pattern and

Molting cardinals surprise some bird enthusiasts

this is where those mites may play a part resulting in the complete loss of the bird’s head feathers. Some recent research has suggest-ed that it could even be a result of a nutritional or environmental factor but I am not so sure about this. To be honest, no one knows for sure, as the condition has not been well studied.

Fortunately for the birds, new head feathers do grow in within a few weeks and the birds look less and less reptilian, obviously

none the worse for wear after their summer ordeal.

Labor Day golf at Red Fox Country ClubFor decades, the Labor Day golf

event at Red Fox was the Kohlbry Cup competition, which, in effect, became the club’s “Couples Cham-pionship.”

This year was a bit different. While Trudy Kohlbry continued the tradition long after her husband, Robert, died, her passing marked the end of this popular event.

However, a similar event was scheduled for Labor Day, 2011, but it ended up being rescheduled. Dr. Bob Conrad, president of the Red Fox Men’s Golf Association, who, in the absence of a golf profession-al, has taken some of golf-planning duties, studied the weather report and moved the event forward to Sunday, Sept. 4, a clear day.

The event was the best net ball in twosomes (couples). The winners were Lynette and Dr. Bob Conrad. Helen and Fred Ellis placed second followed by Betty and Jay Burdue. The participants then retired to the Conrad home for a cookout.
