Saluda Board of commissioners must now approveby Samantha Hurst

A fervent discussion at the Jan. 17 Saluda Board of Commis-sioners’ meeting sent the town’s zoning board back to work on proposed changes related to the town’s home occupation defini-tion.

The zoning board’s meeting Feb. 15 aimed to rectify the fol-lowing concerns raised in Janu-ary: verbiage related to vehicles,

the creation of a sliding scale for determining the number of acces-sory buildings allowed based on lot size and the elimination of CH zones from the definition.

“I think we’ve addressed ev-erything the commissioners were concerned about and I do think we have a good amendment on the three main things they asked that we work on,” Bright said.

Bright said commissioners first asked the planning and zon-ing board to study the home oc-cupation definition after receiv-ing complaints from a resident

Polk County is considering dissolving its travel and tourism services to the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce and the proposal has caused quite a stir with some accommodation providers.

Word has circulated the area for weeks that a proposal has been made to transfer the ser-vice. The Polk County Travel and Tourism Advisory Board met with Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson Monday, Feb. 14 regarding the proposal.

The travel and tourism board has not come to a consensus yet on how it feels about the possi-bility of the chamber taking over

No tax, no tip. What a deal!

the service, but some members expressed strong opinions this week against the move.

Travel and tourism board chair Peggy Turner said she is upset the county did not tell the tourism board what is happening.

“Ryan, I think you’re throw-ing in the towel too soon,” Turner said to Whitson Monday. “I feel that way because you didn’t come to us first.”

Whitson said he’s not throw-ing in the towel and that no decisions have been made. The proposal all came about last year, Whitson said, when a chamber of commerce member asked him if the county would be interested in giving the travel and tourism du-ties to the chamber. Whitson said he’s not sure if he was asked by the individual, or if the individual was representing the chamber.

Whitson asked if the chamber would be interested in taking the service just for the occupancy tax revenue and said he never received a response. Whitson said he more recently spoke to the chamber’s executive direc-tor Janet Sciacca and mentioned that he never received a response on whether or not the chamber would be interested.

“There’s not been any formal proposal,” Whitson said. “I do have a letter from Andy Millard (chamber president) and it will be in the county’s agenda packet Monday night. It has a lot of questions in it. If the board of commissioners tells me to share that information, I will.”

The county received $66,146 during fiscal year 2009-2010 for occupancy tax, according to the county’s finance office, and $66,108 during fiscal year 2008-2009. The county contrib-uted $64,019 to the department during the 2009-2010 budget year, according to the finance office’s amended budget. The current year’s budget was ap-proved for a total of $135,053, with $64,000 anticipated to come from occupancy tax and $71,053 from the county’s general fund originally. By taking out an ad-

ministrative position, the county anticipates contributing no more than $55,697.

Whitson said the county, as everyone, is facing difficult eco-nomic times and he has to find places to cut.

“I haven’t decided what I’m going recommend (to commis-sioners for the budget), Whitson said. “But the school system is going to take some pretty big cuts and the county needs to offset some of that. And I’m going to be looking at cuts.”

Board member Sarah Bell asked Monday what other mem-bers’ issues are with the chamber taking over the service.

Some members said they fear people who have been work-ing on travel and tourism for years will no longer be heard, particularly those in the accom-modation business, who collect the occupancy tax for travel and tourism services.

Board member Stephanie Ott said the Foothills Chamber allowed two hotels in Hender-sonville into their chamber and in one year it took hundreds of rooms from bed and breakfasts.

tomers.Tryon Town Council met

Tuesday, Feb. 15 and set a public hearing on a new parking overlay district for March 21. The public hearing will begin at 7 p.m. at the Tryon Fire Department.

“Technically a public hear-ing is not required,” said Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree. “However, considering the nature of this new ordinance, staff feels it would be appropriate to hold a public hearing prior to approving the ordinance.”

The new regulations are pro-posed to be complaint driven.

The town had previously discussed issuing stickers to all downtown employees for enforcement, but some council members said they had issues with that approach due to punish-ing employees when they were downtown for personal matters not involving work.

Council first discussed ban-ning downtown business employ-ees from parking on Trade Street in December, but the town has received complaints for the past decade, mostly from merchants who say employees take up parking that should be used for customers.

The draft ordinance creates a new overlay district downtown along North and South Trade Streets between the North Trade and Palmer Street intersection and the South Trade Street and

New Market Road intersection.Fines for persons who work or

live downtown and park on North or South Trade Street within the district are proposed at $50.

The draft ordinance states, “it shall be unlawful for a district employee or tenant to park a vehicle within the employee/ten-ant restricted parking area while such person is performing his/her duties, or, in the case of the occupant of a residential apart-ment or condominium, when using the space for parking for such occupancy.

The provisions of this ordi-nance shall be effective between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., any day except Sundays and public holidays.”

The draft ordinance exempts vehicles displaying handicapped license plates or dashboard plac-ards and parked in spaces re-served for the handicapped.

Tryon currently has two-hour parking signs with fines of $10, but the ordinance is rarely enforced. Tryon Town Council has battled the parking problem for years, saying that when the 2-hour limits are enforced, em-ployees see officers marking tires and simply move their vehicles to another space.

Parking for employees is available behind downtown as well as on McCown Street across the railroad tracks. Council has also discussed in the past creating a new public parking area beside the railroad tracks on the other side of Sidestreet Pizza.

about large amounts of heavy equipment stored in the yard of a nearby home occupation. He said looking at one portion brought to light numerous other issues.

Resident Bruce Campbell was that resident.

“In no way do I want to stop small businesses, home occupa-tions, from being allowed in the home, but when it goes outside the home you can imagine what that can do to the property next door,” Campbell said. “By allow-ing this business to exist in an R1 district it really shows the flaws in the ordinance,” he said.

Campbell said he appreci-ates the hard work of the zoning board to address issues within the ordinance.

And hard work it has been Bright said.

“When you address home oc-cupation for example that leads you to accessory building and then that leads you to signage – everything gets linked,” said zon-ing board chairman Henry Bright. “So its quite a process. But I think we’re doing some good work.”

Saluda’s zoning ordinances do not currently restrict businesses inside a residence or accessory building, nor do they restrict the number of vehicles or accessory buildings used.

The zoning board approved presenting the following amend-ments to the changes originally presented to the board of com-missioners last month.

The definition of a home oc-cupation, if approved next month by the commissioners, would read: “An occupation, profession, activity or use that is clearly a customary, secondary, and inci-dental use of a residential dwell-ing unit which does not alter the exterior of the property or affect the residential character of the neighborhood.”

Other changes include ver-biage that reads, “The maximum allotted space for any and all home occupations is limited to no more than twenty-five (25) percent of the finished and heated

square footage of the residential dwelling and in addition, any and all space needed in one accessory building.”

Board members also approved a proposal to include a sliding scale for the number of acces-sory buildings allowed on a given property. The current ordinance does not limit the number of such buildings allowed.

If approved by commission-ers, the scale would now allow for two accessory buildings totaling no more than 1,000 square feet (maximum of 800 square feet for any one building) for lots up to two acres. Lots more than two acres but no more than four acres would be allowed two accessory buildings up to 1,400 square feet in total (maximum 1,200 square feet for any one building). Finally, for any lot more than four acres, an owner would be allowed to put into place up to three accessory buildings totaling 1,800 square feet (maximum 1,600 square feet for any one building).

A new ordinance would also restrict an accessory building from being built on a vacant lot and would prevent someone from subdividing a lot in a way that would leave any accessory build-ing as the single structure on a lot. The ordinance also asks that own-ers construct accessory buildings with similar exterior materials as the primary residence.

Residents like Dotty Eargle believe the zoning board should not stifle entrepreneurs.

“I don’t feel like we should re-strict home occupations,” Eargle said during the January meeting. “Zoning is here to help people make the most of property.”

Hal Green, a former planning board member, said he too is con-cerned what the restrictions could do to people already struggling.

“To restrict home businesses to within the four walls of a residence and accessory buildings means you are effectively restrict-ing home businesses to things like computer programming, hair dressing … and you are limiting a very large number of blue collar

"Professional Work at the best prices guaranteed!"

by Samantha Hurst

When Rachel Haynes-Wood walks into Pavillon Drug and Al-cohol Treatment Center in Sunny View, she knows she will interact with people who are hurting.

Many of those people are children.

“Kids don’t talk about their feelings openly,” Haynes-Wood said. “Our program is designed to give them a safe place to share their emotions in a way they may have never been able to before. Kids are often too ashamed to talk when a parent or another loved one is dealing with ad-diction.”

Each year during the week of Feb. 14, Children of Alcoholics Week is observed to foster public

dialog about ways to help chil-dren growing up in households with parents who are addicted to drugs or alcohol.

While Pavillon’s primary goal is to counsel those with an addic-tion, their free public Children’s Program aims to provide healing to children ages 6-14 years old.

Haynes-Wood is the pro-gram’s coordinator. She said the weekend program is held once a month and typically works with no more than six kids at a time.

Haynes-Wood said there are about 2,500 school-aged children enrolled in Polk County schools. She said statistics show one in four children live in homes where substance abuse is present. That could mean about 500-600 local kids are impacted by familial ad-dictions, she said.

“We see the development of a lot of emotional problems because these kids often haven’t

had a lot of resources to deal with these really tough things that even adults have trouble dealing with,” Haynes-Wood said.

She said high anxiety and depression show up because kids walk on needles to not trigger their loved ones to drink or use drugs. She said she sees perfec-tionism and self-esteem issues. She said both boys and girls also often develop negative or code-pendent relationships. They are also likely to develop behavioral issues in school and suffer from dropping grades, she said.

Haynes-Wood said the Pavil-lon children’s program works to instill “The Seven Cs.” The Seven Cs, which encourage chil-

dren to remember that their loved one’s addiction is not there fault and is not something they can cure. She said while the adults might not always get help, the program aims to help the kids know what they can do.

“Definitely if you can get into the family system early on, and treat the whole family, you can break generations of abuse,” she said.

Children of addiction are four times more likely to become an addict, Haynes-Wood said.

“In a family that has started to talk about it early on, they can address it in a much more open way and the child will have a bet-ter chance of seeking treatment,”

•Children of Addiction(continued from page 8) The Seven Cs

“I didn’t Cause it” “I can’t Cure it” “I can’t Control it” “I can take better Care of myself, by Communicating my feelings, making healthy Choices and Celebrating myself.”

Haynes-Wood said. For more information, visit

Indoor farmer’s market at Mill Spring Ag Center Feb. 19Polk County’s farm markets

are able to operate year-round now by having a monthly in-door location in Mill Spring.

This month’s indoor farm-er’s market at the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Cen-ter will be held Saturday, Feb. 19. The market is open from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. and will feature meats, cheeses, value-added producers, crafters and an edu-cational array of local winter produce and other edibles.

The Mill Spring Agricultural Development center, located in

the former Mill Spring School, is the host site for the monthly indoor farmer’s market season, typically held the last Saturday of each winter month through March.

This month’s date change to the third Saturday in February is because of a Feb. 26 Market-ing Conference for Farmers’ sponsored by ASAP and held at Warren Wilson College.

For vending or further infor-mation, contact Lynn Sprague at 919-414-7840.

“Why would we want some-one who can’t even run a barbe-cue festival?” Ott asked. “When times get hard, they will throw us in too.”

Travel and tourism board member Laura Weicker, who also serves on the chamber board said the chamber has not yet made a decision. Weicker added that due to her being on the travel and tourism board, she has excused herself from any chamber discus-sions on the matter.

“The (chamber) board may not even want it,” said Weicker. “All of this is circling the plains

like the bomb is about to drop and nothing has been decided yet.”

If the chamber and the county agree to transfer the service, the proposal is for the county to give the chamber its annual hospitality tax funding annually.

Whitson said 75 out of 100 North Carolina counties have travel and tourism ser-vices through their chamber. Polk County’s travel and tourism be-gan in the 1990s with the county providing one employee and the Town of Tryon providing office space. The office was then run solely on occupancy tax revenue and volunteer staff.

In 2004, the county moved the

tourism office to the former bank building in Columbus.

Until the administrative assis-tant position was recently deleted from the budget, the tourism of-fice was run with two full-time positions plus volunteers and the seven-member advisory board.

Tourism director Melinda Young recently presented statis-tics on tourism’s economic im-pact for Polk County. Young said in 2009, tourism in Polk County generated an economic impact of $18.67 million, according to state reports. The total represents 170 local jobs, plus $111.14 in tax savings to each county resident.

Polk County’s accommoda-

tion providers collect a three percent tax on rooms and prop-erties that are rented 90 days or less. The towns of Columbus and Tryon also charge the tax, so in those towns, visitors are charged a six percent hospitality tax.

The Polk County Travel and Tourism Advisory Board decided on Monday to draft a letter to commissioners that it wishes to be placed on the county’s agenda during the second meeting in March to discuss the proposal.

Whitson said commissioners are not planning on making a decision on the future of travel and tourism during the county’s Monday, Feb. 21 meeting.

kind of work,” Green said. “The purpose of a home business is to give someone the opportunity to make a living when they have very slim capital resources to go to a commercial area to buy or rent space.” George Matthews a blacksmith and artist works out of his home. While he said most of his work could be done within the confines

of a building, he doesn’t think a person’s right to work should be limited. “Well I’ve never been in favor of government,” Matthews said. “It seems silly to me – if someone wants to work out of their home theyshould be able to do it. Last I heard we were a free country that supposedly encouraged people to take care of themselves.”

Green said the attitude trou-bles him given the nature of un-employment in North Carolina.

Green said from his home he is easily able to see a $1 million home and just down the road, a trailer.

When asked about the need to keep a certain visual aesthetic or character in place, Green quoted Saluda’s late Mayor Lee Clif-ford who described Saluda as, “eclectic.”

“It’s a place with people from all income categories and ways of life,” Green said. “Those people who have moved presumably

realized they were moving into an eclectic community.”

Bright said he feels it’s impor-tant to take into consideration the character of a neighborhood in order to preserve, if nothing else, property values. He said for any town, preserving character makes for a neighborhood that is more desirable to live in.

“Our plans are to really look at Saluda and have some vision for what Saluda will look like in the future,” Bright said.

this week we have all had love on our minds, what with Valetines’s Day occurring this past monday. Flowers and candy were sent and received by many and the sentiment of romantic love prevailed for a day. But is that really true love in the most profound sense? In the episcopal Church there is an assigned prayer from the Book of Common Prayer that is used simultaneously by every congregation each Sunday. For this coming Sunday

that prayer says, "Lord, you have taught us that without love whatever we do is worth nothing: Send your holy Spirit and pour into our hearts your greatest gift, which is love, the true bond of peace and of all virtue, without which whoever lives is accounted dead before you. Grant this for the sake of your only Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen." the love of God which passes all understanding,

God's love passes all understanding

that one true love which undergirds the entire cosmos, is the love we are called to have for one another. that love does not depend on how we feel, nor on what we like, nor on what we want – it is based entirely on living into the gifts of peace and virtue poured upon us through the holy Spirit. in receiving that love we are obliged to pass it on to others through acts of kindness, empathy, tolerance and grace as choices we make for the sake of love, no matter how we may feel. to that end, for the sake of love we forgive when we are offended, we

have compassion when our neighbor suffers, we are tolerant of those we find intolerable, and we extend grace rather than retribution. the love that empowers our ability to choose the good and reject the evil is the divine love which gives us life and hope, and without that love our existence will be hollow and hopeless. When we seek every day to live into love as god has offered it to us and to extend that love to those around us we will find our way becomes smoother, more peaceful and filled with a sense of satisfaction no matter what our circumstances.

this week we have all had love on our minds, what with Valetines’s Day occurring this past monday. Flowers and candy were sent and received by many and the sentiment of romantic love prevailed for a day. But is that really true love in the most profound sense? In the episcopal Church there is an assigned prayer from the Book of Common Prayer that is used simultaneously by every congregation each Sunday. For this coming Sunday

that prayer says, "Lord, you have taught us that without love whatever we do is worth nothing: Send your holy Spirit and pour into our hearts your greatest gift, which is love, the true bond of peace and of all virtue, without which whoever lives is accounted dead before you. Grant this for the sake of your only Son Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen." the love of God which passes all understanding,

God's love passes all understanding

that one true love which undergirds the entire cosmos, is the love we are called to have for one another. that love does not depend on how we feel, nor on what we like, nor on what we want – it is based entirely on living into the gifts of peace and virtue poured upon us through the holy Spirit. in receiving that love we are obliged to pass it on to others through acts of kindness, empathy, tolerance and grace as choices we make for the sake of love, no matter how we may feel. to that end, for the sake of love we forgive when we are offended, we

have compassion when our neighbor suffers, we are tolerant of those we find intolerable, and we extend grace rather than retribution. the love that empowers our ability to choose the good and reject the evil is the divine love which gives us life and hope, and without that love our existence will be hollow and hopeless. When we seek every day to live into love as god has offered it to us and to extend that love to those around us we will find our way becomes smoother, more peaceful and filled with a sense of satisfaction no matter what our circumstances.

Letter to the Editor

Hospice cares for whole familyTo the Editor:

Our area is blessed with a unique blend of natural beauty and wonderful people and HoCF is another shining example.

The love, care, sensitivity and professionalism displayed by Jean Eckert, Dr. Kamell and th entire staff while we were there was re-markable. We developed a deeper appreciation for the service hos-pice provides and we left touched and inspired by the dedication of all of those who work there.

The people of HoCF exem-plify the following quote:

“The service we render to others is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is obvious that man is himself a traveler, that the purpose of this world is not ‘to have and hold,’ but ‘to give and serve.’ There can be no other meaning.”

– Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell, M.D. 1865-1940

Our heartfelt appreciation to everyone at HoCF. We will never forget the love and comfort you pro-vided us during our time of need.

--The family of Mildred McGuinn Lynch Jackson

Mountain BizWorks hosts financial workshop beginning Feb. 23Mountain BizWorks will host

a five-week financial workshop, “Financial Tools,” which starts with the basics of bookkeeping and then launches into Quick-Books.

The first session will deal

with bookkeeping basics; ses-sion two will deal with setting up your own company; session three will deal with customer issues (invoicing and receiv-ables); session four will deal with vendor issues (payables)

Historic treasure of the month for FebruaryThis desk is similar to that of the original owner/editor of the Tryon Daily Bulletin, Seth Vining Sr. It once belonged to a famous spor tswriter and was donated to the Polk County Museum by his wife. Vining’s desk was famous as a “marvel of efficiency.” Would you like to know how the dangling strings contributed to this efficiency? Does the large black object beside the desk peak your curiosity? What is the framed document on the wall? Then there is that overturned Coca Cola case on the floor. How could it possibly contribute to Mr. Vining’s “marvel of efficiency?” Visit the Polk County Museum and inspect these interesting ar tifacts. The museum is located at 60 Walker Street in Columbus. Hours are Tuesday and Thursday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Garland Goodwin re-created Mr. Vining’s “marvel of efficiency” by relying on memories of his youth. Goodwin is a past president of the Historical Association who worked as a “printer’s devil” during the early years of the Bulletin. (photo submitted)

Carolina Camera Club meets Jan. 11The next meeting of the Caro-

lina Camera Club will be on Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Isothermal Community Col-lege in Columbus.

Join the club for a presentation titled “Digital After Dark” pre-sented by Kevin Adams. Adams has been teaching and leading photo tours in North Carolina since the early 1990s and has produced several books that have become valuable tools to many local photographers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Today’s digital cameras give us the ability to make images that we could not have dreamed of back in the film days. Nowhere is this truer than with night pho-

tography. Now we can literally shoot for the stars.

For those who associate night photography only with subjects like fireworks, cityscapes, and street scenes, you’re in for a surprise. In this eye-opening presentation, Kevin will share his techniques for photographing a variety of nighttime subjects, from the ordinary to the “Wow, I never would have thought of that!”

Attendees are advised to use caution before attending this presentation, however. Once you see all the exciting things you can do with your camera at night, you might be losing a lot of sleep from then on.

TA & C holds mosaic painting workshop in March

Mountain BizWorks business planning course begins Feb. 23

Tryon Arts and Crafts School will host a mosaic painting week-end workshop with instructor Kay Larch. The workshop will be held on Saturday, March 5 and Sunday, March 6 at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road. This is an opportunity for students to learn a new painting technique uniquely and originally created by the instructor.

Kay Larch, a self-taught mixed-media artist and painter, grew up in Huntington Beach, Calif. She currently lives in Greenville, S.C., where she shares a studio space with two other artists. Larch says she has always been drawn to mosaics. Blending this ancient art form with her own acrylic painting was, according to her, “a natural path” to take. Using brilliant

Mountain BizWorks will present a business planning course at the Mill Spring Agri-cultural Development Center, located at 15 School House Road in Mill Spring. The course will begin Wednes-day, Feb. 23 from 6 – 9 p.m.

color from water based paints and a glassy texture achieved through layers of lacquer, Larch has developed her own style and technique that she refers to as “painted mosaics.”

Painted mosaics create the vi-sual effects of ceramic tile mosa-ics without the mess, tools, buck-ets of grout, nippers, goggles, etc. Over the course of the weekend, students will learn to transform acrylic paintings into mosaics. By adding ‘grout’ lines, paintings take on a painted ‘tile’ appearance.

Adding layers of crystal lac-quer creates the shiny, mosaic texture that can be felt as well as seen. Everything necessary to complete these unique projects will be provided and each student will create at least three mosaics during the workshop, as simple or

The course will run for eight weeks.

The course covers the key elements of a business plan, including:

• Business mission, goals and structure and management capacity;

as elaborate as the students’ de-sire. Students may create mosaics using their own design, subject matter and individual style or they may choose from a selection provided by the instructor.

The “painted mosaic” tech-nique will be taught by its creator, Kay Larch, on Saturday, March 5 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., and Sun-day, March 6 from 12 – 5 p.m. Space is limited in this workshop.

Advance registration for all workshops is required.

Education blitz evaluates nursing performance in patient care

Dr. Kersey to speak at free heart screening, presentation Feb. 19

All North Carolina DMV driver license offices closed Feb. 21

The classroom at St. Luke’s Hospital has been a busy place as members of our nursing staff are working to complete annual competencies.

Using a bank of laptop com-puters, nursing staff is review-ing patient care policies in the classroom before heading down the outpatient hallway where they will demonstrate their ability and actual performance during the “hands-on” portion of the annual review.

From the blood glucometer, to the patient lift, to the Broselow pediatric emergency cart, to the defibrillator, to cardioversion and rapid sequence intubation, to name a few, every nurse must go through the series. At each sta-tion, evaluators assess each nurse as he/she demonstrates knowl-edge and competence. Successful completion and documentation

A free screening and pre-sentation on heart health will be offered for residents of Rutherford County from 8 a.m. - noon on Saturday, Feb. 19 at The Foundation on Highway 74A in Spindale. Cardiologist Terry W. Kersey, Jr., MD, who recently opened his practice in Rutherfordton, will be speaker.

Space is limited to 88 partic-ipants. To make a reservation, call Debbie Kirkman, manager for cardiovascular prevention

All N.C. Division of Motor Vehicle driver license offices will be closed on President’s Day, Monday, Feb. 21, while the National Driver Registry is updated. The system up-date will affect driver licensing transactions around the country throughout the President’s Day weekend, but is expected to cur-tail business in North Carolina for just one day.

of the annual competencies is maintained for each nurse in order for the hospital to be in compliance with various regula-tions.

Who benefits from all this extra effort?

Of course our staff and our physicians benefit, but our main focus is our patients. They can take comfort and feel confident that the care they receive at St. Luke’s Hospital is up to date, as-sessed, maintained, demonstrated and improved continually. In keeping with our mission and val-ues, annual competencies ensure our patients are indeed receiving excellent quality care.

Providing competent nursing care is important to our staff, our Board of Trustees, our medi-

and risk assessment, at Mission Hospital at 828-213-7160.

The screenings will take place from 8 - 10 a.m. in the lobby, with Dr. Kersey’s pre-sentation following at 10:15 a.m. A time for questions will be included.

In addition, a variety of exhibits on heart health will be available. These include information about what to do if you or someone you love may be having a heart attack, why

Drivers requiring a new or renewed driver license, learner permit, commercial driver li-cense or ID card should plan visits to their driver license of-fice before or after the one-day closure. Driver licenses may be renewed up to six months prior to the birthday renewal date. Appointments for driver improvement clinics will not be accepted on Feb. 21; however,

cal staff and our commu-nity. Providing competent care is also a priority for many na-

tional organizations, such as the American Nurses Association and The Joint Commission.

By all accounts, this year’s education Blitz has been very successful in making sure St. Luke’s Hospital meets national patient safety standards and en-sures our staff is skilled, compe-tent and confident in their scope of practice.

I’d like to recognize and thank Jane Phillips, RN, our new Per-formance Improvement/Educa-tion coordinator, as well as the clinical department managers for coordinating this annual review. St. Luke’s certainly has some very high-performing staff, and

you should call 911 and how to perform the new lifesav-ing “compression only CPR,” which is easier to perform, especially for seniors.

Those who want to be screened must fast for 12 hours before the screening, but a free healthy breakfast is offered for all those attending, so they can eat immediately afterwards.

The screening and presentation are being offered by Asheville Cardiology Associates and Mis-

hearings already scheduled to take place at driver license of-fices will be held.

During the closure, the state’s driver license examiners and other employees will report to work to undergo additional training required by computer upgrades and changes to federal requirements.

The closure will not affect license plate agencies that register

TLT’s “Oliver!” plays for one more weekend

Foreign language educator workshop held March 18

Widow Corney (Carol Cox, left) and Joshua Moffitt (Mr. Bumble the Beadle) are about to be outraged when one the workhouse orphans dares to ask for “more.” TLT’s “Oliver!” runs one more weekend Feb. 18 - 20 at the Tryon Fine Arts Center. (photo by Lorin Browning)

Opening night for “Oliver!” was a hit with the audience, receiving a standing ovation and whistles and cheers. Chris Tinkler, who directed the Tryon Little Theater show, said he was pleased too.

“I had a great group of tal-ented people to work with,” he said, “not only the brilliant ac-tors – both adults and kids – but all the people behind the scenes. Everything has come together so well, especially considering half the cast and crew have been sick. Everyone’s pulled together to make this show really special.

“There’s the backstage crew

The foreign language program of the University of South Caro-lina Upstate presents a workshop called “Reflections” every spring for foreign language teachers, from elementary to university level, from across the state.

The theme of this year’s work-shop is “Putting Integrated Per-formance Assessment into Prac-tice: From Lesson Planning to Implementation and Reflection.” Foreign language educators are invited to USC Upstate’s Campus Life Center Ballroom on Friday, March 18 from 8 a.m. - 3 p.m. for

led by Rebecca Davis; the set and lighting designer Richard Sharkey; the construction and paint crew too many to mention; costumes by Carol Browning and her dedicated seamstresses; the musicians; choreographer Vivian Cuddihee; props; sound crew; make-up artists—it takes a small army to pull this off, and they did a great job,” said Tinkler.

There are three more chances to see TLT’s “Oliver!” The show runs again Friday and Saturday, Feb. 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. and Sun-day, Feb. 20 at 3 p.m. at the Tryon Fine Arts Center. Box office hours are 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the

this workshop.This interactive session will

help teachers meld the theory of lesson planning through Back-ward Design into actual class-room implementation via the cre-ation of Integrated Performance Assessments that incorporate the three modes of communication (Interpretive, Interpersonal, and Presentational).

Lisa Lilley will be the work-shop presenter. She teaches Span-ish in the International Baccalau-reate Program at Central High School in Springfield, Missouri

Tryon Little Theater Workshop, 516 South Trade St.

Call 828-859-2466 for more information, or visit the web site at www.tltinfo.org. Tickets will also be available at the door an hour before the show if the show has not sold out.

The cast and crew of “Oli-ver!” are also sponsoring a food drive to benefit the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry and Landrum United Methodist Church Food Pantry. TLT is collecting non-perishable food items up until Saturday, Feb. 19 ending at 1 p.m.
