Landrum proposes referendum on Sunday alcohol sales in restaurantsPublic hearing April 12by Leah Justice

Landrum voters could decide this year whether its restaurants can sell alcohol on Sunday.

Landrum City Council approved Tuesday, March 8 the first reading of an ordinance to call for a referendum on this November’s election ballot.

Councilman Randy Wohnig voted against the ordinance.

A public hearing is scheduled for council’s next meeting on Tuesday,

April 12 before council considers the second and final reading.

Landrum city officials held a meet-ing with area businesses in January. According to Mayor Bob Briggs, busi-ness owners said not being able to serve alcohol on Sunday hurts business. Most restaurants are not open on Sunday in Landrum.

Landrum restaurant owner Barbara Britt said the city is losing hospitality tax money to North Carolina, Spar-

Author, historian Paul Reid to discuss final volume of Churchill biography at Lanier Library Brown Bag Tuesday

Local author and historian Paul Reid will discuss his work on the completion of William Manchester's third and final volume of his Winston Churchill biography, “The Last Lion: De-fender of the Realm” at the La-nier Library on Tuesday, March 15 at noon.

William Manchester died in 2004 at the age of 82, before being able to complete the final volume of this highly acclaimed biography but, shortly before he died he asked Paul Reid to com-plete it for him.

Early in the process of com-pleting Manchester’s work, Reid described his experience as fol-lows: “Bill’s notes and inter-views run to thousands of pages, enough to fuel at least three more volumes. My job, therefore, is to

Filled with tips and instruction on how to get the best results out of your camera and equipment, this comprehensive two-day workshop will lead you through the basic skills that are necessary for excel-lence in “studio photography.”

Along the way you will be taught, in simple terms, the rules about advanced camera settings and operation; framing and composi-tion, lighting, backdrops and props; planning and production and a final section that puts all the elements together, plus offers advanced tech-niques to achieve superb results.

All workshops are offered by Natural Light Photography and will be held in a classroom setting at the Mill Spring Ag Center on April 2 and 3. Instructor Oliver Yu has been creating images for over 20 years. His unique photographic

expression has been fanned by his passion to continuously learn and explore the art.

Polk approves small school funding resolutionThe Polk County Board of Commissioners on March 7 approved a resolution in support of small school funding through the state. The small school funding has been targeted by the state to receive a 25-percent reduction for next year’s budget. The funding is used annually for rural counties to implement programs to ensure rural students receive an equivalent education to urban area students.

Polk budget calendar for FY 2011-12Polk County commissioners agreed recently on a sched-ule for the county’s fiscal year 2011-12 budget prepara-tions. Department heads have already begun preparing budget requests, with the manager scheduled to present the budget proposal to commissioners on May 2. Work sessions are scheduled for May 9 and May 10, and the public hearing is scheduled for June 13. The county’s new fiscal year will begin July 1.

County/town joint meeting Tuesday, March 22Officials from Polk County, the Town of Columbus, the Town of Tryon and the City of Saluda will meet jointly next Tuesday, March 22, at 7 p.m. at Columbus Town Hall. Saluda City Council is sponsoring the meeting. The proposed joint water system and economic development are on the agenda. The public is invited.

Landrum approves new city wrecker policyLandrum City Council approved a new wrecker policy for the towing of vehicles for persons who are placed under arrest. The city’s policy was amended to say the maximum charge is $100 for arrested individuals. Another change said towing services that do not respond to three city requests in a row will no longer be called for service. The policy applies only to vehicles the police department need to be towed because an individual has been arrested.

Landrum resolution on fire taxLandrum City Council on Tuesday, March 8 approved a resolution asking Spartanburg County to approve a mill-age increase for its county fire residents.

Landrum approves donation to youth sportsLandrum City Council on Tuesday, March 8 approved granting the Landrum Youth Sports Association its an-nual donation. Council increased the annual allotment by $1,000 this year to $3,000 and said on Tuesday the city would like for the association to purchase materials for a new roof and use the rest for other needs. The city recently approved repairing the fields, and other upgrades are needed. Councilman Jon Matheis suggested calling for a volunteer day to replace the roof.

Landrum election filing deadline Aug. 8Landrum City Council announced this week that the dead-line to file to run for city council is Aug. 8, which can be done at city hall. The deadline for residents to register to vote is Oct. 8. This year’s election will be on Nov. 8.

tanburg, S.C., and Greenville, S.C., because businesses cannot serve alcohol on Sundays.

“More hospitality tax money will help Landrum do more things to promote the city,” said Britt. “We’ve got to move forward. It’s going to help Landrum get back to where it used to be.”

Britt, who owns El Chile Rojo and Twigs restaurants in Landrum, said she ended up having to close on Sundays because business was so bad. People would come in to eat and when they found out about the Sunday alcohol ban, they would politely leave and go to Tryon or elsewhere in North Carolina just a few miles away, she said.

She said restaurants not be-ing able to be open Sundays

also hurts other merchants, because with businesses closed, tourists don’t come to Landrum to shop either.

“It’s not like our restaurants are a place for people to get drunk,” Britt said. “Some people just like to have a drink with their din-ner.”

Briggs said council mem-bers feel this is a decision voters should make, not the city council.

“Council feels like our re-sponsibility is to present it to the voters and let them decide,” Briggs said. “Council doesn’t feel like it’s a decision we should make.”

Another option to get a ref-

erendum on the ballot would be for the businesses to circulate a petition. If enough signatures were acquired, a referendum could be held.

B r i g g s said if a ref-e r endum i s requested by a petition, the wording on the petition would be the exact wording on the referendum. If the city asks for a referen-dum, the city

can decide the exact wording.If the second reading of the

ordinance is approved, the city will call for a referendum to de-termine whether the South Car-olina Department of Revenue may issue temporary permits to allow for the sale of alco-

holic beverages for on-premises consumption on Sundays in the City of Landrum. If voters approved the referendum, only on-premise consumption would be allowed. Gas stations and grocery stores, for example, would not be allowed to sell alcohol to take off premises.

The wording of the referen-dum currently proposed to go on the ballot says, “Shall the South Carolina Department of Revenue be authorized to is-sue temporary permits in this city for a period not to exceed 24 hours to allow the posses-sion, sale and consumption of alcoholic liquors by the drink to bona fide nonprofit organiza-tions and restaurant establish-ments otherwise authorized to be licensed for consumption-on-premise sales?”

This year’s election will be held on Nov. 8.

pace this final volume. Having been guided by Bill the last year of his life, and having in hand the pages he wrote (to the Fall of France) I think I have a good feeling for the pace he set and where he was going. The pages Bill finished are, as was usual with Manchester, marvelous, full of sus-pense and foreshadow-ing, a real tale beautifully told. Among many things he made clear to me was his desire that this book be an enjoyable read for younger people, those under 40 years of age who did not grow up with stories of World War II percolating through their household.”

In a Nov. 7, 2010 article by Pam Kelly in the Charlotte Observer, Reid was described as “The most highly anticipated author you've never heard of.”

Here are additional excerpts from that article: “Paul Reid is a former Florida newspaper reporter who moved to the N.C. mountains a few years ago. Since 2004, Reid has been writing the third and final volume of ‘The Last Lion,’ the late William Manchester's majes-tic biography of British statesman Winston Churchill.

“Reid, 61, seems at first glance an improbable choice to write an 800-plus page biography. He was neither a Churchill scholar nor a biographer. As a feature writer at the Palm Beach Post, his pieces seldom ran more than a few thou-sand words.

“‘We started hearing these stories about this guy, and no-body knew him,’ says Craig Horn of Weddington, chair of the Churchill Society of North Carolina. ‘He was certainly not known in Churchill circles.’

“Reid lacked Churchillian credentials, but Manchester, a former newspaperman himself, wanted a writer with a reporting

background. And he trusted Reid. “Reid had written several

feature stories about Manches-ter, and over the years, the two became friends. Both had grown up in Massachusetts and shared a passion for the Boston Red Sox. Manchester reminded Reid of his late father - a Scots-Irish Yankee with a big heart.

“And though Reid had nev-er attempted a writing task of this magnitude, the subject of Churchill during World War II played perfectly to his strengths.”

Kelly said Churchill devotees and Manchester fans regularly contact Reid, some from as far away as England and Pakistan, to ask about his progress.

Their wait is nearing an end. The manuscript is in the hands of Reid’s editor at Little, Brown and Co., and the printed book is expected to be released within the next year.

To hear more of this great story of friendship and collabora-tion and its productive outcome, meet Paul Reid and hear him talk at the Lanier Library at noon on March 15. The program is free and everyone is invited.

Landrum police chief warns residents after home invasionby Leah Justice

Following a home invasion last weekend, Landrum Police Chief Bruce Shelnut warned residents this week to call the police if someone suspicious is on your property.

Landrum City Council heard from Shelnut at a council meet-ing Tuesday, March 8.

Shelnut said because of the current economy, people are be-coming desperate and are coming onto people’s property asking for money. Businesses are also hav-ing people come in offering to do handyman services for money.

“If somebody comes in your yard to bum money, that’s not normal,” Shelnut said. “Go in the house and call 911 and let us come see what’s going on.”

He also said if anyone comes into a business that the owner doesn’t feel comfortable with, the owner should call 911 and an officer will come and check them out. Shelnut reminded people that anyone selling something door to door needs a business license. Shelnut also said the city does not normally give business licenses to door-to-door salesmen.

“Times are getting tough and people are looking for anything they can to make a dime,” said Shelnut.

On Saturday, March 5 a Lan-drum resident in the 100 block of S. Edgewood Avenue expe-rienced a home invasion, ac-cording to police reports. The

female involved in the home invasion was described as white and between the ages of 16 and 25 years of age.

Anyone who recognizes the female in the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) artist's sketch above is urged to call the Landrum Police Depart-ment at 864-457-7281.

No details have been given on how the home invasion occurred.

Although no arrests had been made as of press time yesterday, Shelnut said his officers are working hard on the investiga-tion and he is hoping an arrest can be made by the end of this week.

If you have information re-garding the case, please call the Landrum Police Department at 864-457-7281 or Crimestoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC.

Bright’s Creek public hearing draws mixed commentsby Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners heard positive and negative com-ments from residents this week regarding an amended Bright’s Creek development agreement.

Commissioners held a public hearing Monday, March 7 at the Green Creek Fire Department.

Polk resident Bill Smith said the project as planned with a hotel and stores should not be permitted. Smith said there are already two-lane roads that are being repaired, costing additional taxpayer money, and several bridges in the area are prone to flooding.

“When these thousands of acres are developed this will only increase the runoff and increase frequency of flooding,” Smith said.

He said the new plan goes against the county’s 20/20 vision plan and the county’s current seven-acre lot minimum for ma-jor subdivisions.

But Bill Ennis said he hopes the county realizes that approval of Bright’s Creek’s revised mas-ter plan and development agree-

ment is critical to the future of Bright’s Creek, “and that a suc-cessful Bright’s Creek is critical to the future of Polk County.”

Ennis said Bright’s Creek’s real estate taxes alone, at more than $1,000,000 a year, provide for 1/14 of the county’s entire annual budget for each of the last four years.

“And yet they cost the county very little in the way of ser-vices,” said Ennis. “They are a self-contained, self-supporting development.”

Ennis added that Bright’s Creek has provided jobs for many Polk residents and is generous in helping with charities, including the BMW Golf tournament.

“I think it would be a travesty not to give Bright’s Creek the help they need in these depress-ing economic times,” Ennis said. “Approve their revised master plan and updated development agreement. It will prove to be a good decision for the county in the years to come.”

A contract is currently being proposed for new owners to purchase Bright’s Creek. Protex

Investment Group, Inc., owned by Alexander Salgado and Ga-brielle Barragan, a couple out of Florida, plans to purchase the development with the transaction scheduled to close April 1. Protex Investment Group has plans to include 1,380 acres of open space at the development and create more cluster housing to replace some large lots. Plans for a hotel and spa, among other amenities, have also been mentioned.

Kate Bond, from the Lake Adger Development near Bright’s Creek, also made comments dur-ing Monday’s public hearing. She said she understands since this is not a new plan that Bright’s Creek does not have to abide by the county’s ridgetop ordinance, but asked that the county consider asking the development to volun-tarily abide with a night sky ordi-nance and ridgetop regulations.

Sunny View Fire Chief Marty

McGuinn said if a hotel is included, that could make a major impact on his department depending on the height of the hotel. A hotel could require the department to purchase a ladder truck, which cost approximately $500,000.

“Nor do I have the height on my building to house a ladder truck,” said McGuinn.

McGuinn also expressed concern about response time because of the development’s roads and remote location, say-ing that it takes 20 to 30 minutes to reach some areas.

Monday’s meeting initially included the approval of the up-dated development agreement, but the item was removed dur-ing the agenda adoption. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said he couldn’t comment as to why the county didn’t consider the new agreement Monday.

Horse industry to vote on referendum March 15by Samantha Hurst

Horse owners as young as 9 have the opportunity Tuesday, March 15 to vote for or against the continuation of a $2 assess-ment fee on commercial horse feed.

The assessment fee began 12 years ago in an effort to boost funding for horse council activi-ties.

Local North Carolina Horse Council repre-sentative Nan-cy Wilson said revenue col-lected from the fee bolsters the effectiveness of the horse indus-try.

“It’s a no-brainer to me. We have a stake in legislation in our state – we can provide grants, programs and more,” she said. “I want to see people benefit who own horses. I want to see horses benefit.”

If voters decide in favor of the referendum, the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will continue to receive the assessment fee via manufac-turers and/or distributors of horse feed. The money is then sent on to the N.C. Horse Council.

Wilson said the council uses the funds to support 4-H and other youth programs, REINS volunteer programs, trails advo-cacy, equine research, represen-tation of horse interests in gov-ernment, marketing programs, enforcement of horse laws and improved public awareness of diseases and other threats to horses’ well-being.

Wilson said the horse com-munity sees a trickle-down effect in the form of grant money often provided to local facilities and programs.

She said with three local equestrian facilities – Harmon Field, FENCE and the Green Creek Equestrian Park – Polk County is sure to benefit.

“I just feel like anything we can do to keep people active here in the horse community we need to do so,” she said.

Tryon Riding and Hunt Club Executive Director Laura Weicker said the assessment pro-

motes a greater awareness of the industry as a whole by funding mar-keting and edu-cational pieces. She said she believes with a local repre-sentative now on the council more people

will be aware of the available resources.

“Frankly, I think it’s one of those things that a lot of people in our area just weren’t aware of,” Weicker said. “Now their grant program is becoming more defined and I think locally we can really expect to see a lot of good come out of the assessment.”

Any North Carolina resident, 9 years or older, who has com-plete or partial ownership or lease of an equine is eligible to cast a vote in the referendum. Equines could include a horse, pony, mule, donkey or hinny, according to a release from the North Carolina Horse Council.

Voters must approve the con-tinuation of the assessment every three years.

Voting this year will take place at the Cooperative Exten-sion Office in Columbus from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. For more in-formation, contact agriculture extension agent Kendra Bissette at 828-894-8218.

Landrum approves sanitation contract with small increasesUndecided who will pay increasesby Leah Justice

The City of Landrum ap-proved a new sanitation contract with GDS that includes slight increases in fees.

Council approved a five-year contract with the haulers during a meeting held Tuesday, March 8. The new contract will begin in July.

The fees per resident went up 86 cents per month, while fees for commercial customers with roll-outs increased $2.56 per month. Other increases vary for commercial customers, depend-ing on dumpsters and whether those dumpsters are rented.

Landrum City Administra-tor Steve Wolochowicz said although the increases aren’t

significant, the contract for the city will be increasing $16,682 per year. Council has not yet decided who will pay for the increases. Residents and busi-nesses could, or the city could decide to absorb some of those costs.

Wolochowicz said Lan-drum’s garbage rates with GDS are among the lowest in the state for municipalities.

The contract includes the ability for GDS to ask city coun-cil to implement increases if diesel fuel prices escalate to $5 or more per gallon, but council will have the final say for such a request. The only built-in increase is based on the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI).

Residential customers cur-rently pay $8 per month for city garbage pick-up.

Equestrian Trotters to participate in cancer walk in FloridaThe Equestrian Trotters, a

walking team of equestrians from the Thermal Belt, will take part in the Susan Komen 3-Day Cancer Walk in Tampa, Fla., on Oct. 28-30, 2011.

Joy Baker, team captain, and team members invite others to join in this experience, whether as a walker, crew member or donator. Walking 60 miles in the three days is the goal. A team with family, friends and co-workers offers the company of a supportive group.

Not only does the walk raise funds for the cure, it raises aware-ness. It encourages greater breast cancer health awareness with vigi-lance and helps make influential decisions within the structure of government.

The 2.5 million breast cancer survivors are the largest group of cancer survivors in the United

States, and they are a living tes-tament to the progress made in research and advanced effective treatments for the cure. Early detection and medical care are of the utmost importance. Every woman deserves a mammogram and access to a spectrum of breast cancer options regardless of her financial status. When caught early, the survival rate for cancer is 98 percent.

The training is for all shapes and sizes of men and women of all athletic abilities. To be sure you can do the walk, training and sup-port are offered after you register. Walkers receive an informative walker handbook and coaches are available to give you training and support.

Websites contain walk sched-ules, a virtual personal trainer, shoe selection advice, health and

nutrition tips and other tools and information. Local businesses called the Outfitters offer advice and special discounts.

If you are not able to partici-pate as a walker you can still be an integral part of the effort. Volun-teers are needed as crew members, which entails attending the entire event in a service capacity. The crew members drive the vehicles that give walkers a lift to the next pit stop or bring them to the camp for fine dining and entertainment.

If you are unable to be there in person you can be a tax deductible donator. Registered walkers agree to raise a minimum of $2,300 in tax-deductible donations. Make checks out to Susan Komen 3-Day Cancer Walk and mail them to Joy Baker, 239 Baker Rd., Tryon, N.C. 28782.

Net proceeds from the Susan

G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure fund are used in global breast can-cer research and local community programs supporting education, screening and treatment. Organiz-ers say every major advance in the fight against breast cancer in the last 28 years has been impacted by a Susan G. Komen for the Cure grant.

For more information about Komen for the Cure, breast health or breast cancer, visit www.Komen.org or call 1-877 GO KOMEN.

For more information or to reg-ister for the 3-day walk in Tampa, visit www.3-day.org, call 800-996-3day or contact Joy Baker at 828-817-0315 or [email protected].

If you would prefer a closer location to join the walk, you can sign up for one in Atlanta, Ga., on Oct. 21-23.

House of Flags to hold work day Saturday, March 12

The House of Flags remod-eling project is moving fast, museum officials say. The restroom addition is closed in, as is the front lobby/entrance.

The remodel is now ready for electrical work to begin. Dale Musselwhite is the House of Flag’s electrical contractor. He will establish a new entrance panel and will wire the two ad-ditions for starters.

The House of Flags will hold a work day this Saturday, March 12, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. Organizers are looking for a few volunteers to pitch in and help with the following:

• General sweeping and pitching stuff;

• Pulling down 1x4 furring strips from the ceiling;

• Removing the 3-inch water pipe from the ceiling;

• Removing small cast iron drain pipes from the upstairs floor;

• Pulling staples and small

bits of insulation backing paper from the ceiling in the middle room, ground floor;

• Removing all electrical conduit and wiring from walls and ceiling on the ground floor and upstairs (except for one live circuit);

• Removing 2 x 6 framing and door into new restroom addition;

• Removing 2x boards fram-ing in the two large overhead doors at the lobby and the middle room;

• Disconnecting the furnace drain, A/C lines and gas line (gas is shut off);

• Removing floor tiles with floor scraper upstairs (partially done);

• Checking for ways to re-move the rest of the bee’s nest and honey from the outside. (No bees yet).

All volunteers should bring hammers, crowbars, steplad-ders, safety glasses and gloves.


United Church Women attend human rights celebration March 12

The United Church Women (UCW) of Polk County will at-tend Hendersonville’s Human Rights Celebration on Saturday, March 12 at 9:30 a.m. The group will meet at the Bi-Lo parking lot in Columbus at 8:45 a.m. to carpool.

In 1968 the UCW passed the following resolution:

“We affirm that all persons as human beings have inherent worth and dignity, and that basic human rights should be equally available to every person re-gardless of race, religion, ethnic

background or sex.”In keeping with the values

and priorities given to the UCW by the founding members, the National Ecumenical Celebra-tions Committee presents this year’s program focusing on human rights.

The 2011 theme, “Living Our Legacy, Driving the Move-ment,” reflects the UCW’s 70-year history and the need for all present day members to continue to drive the movement forward.

Spartanburg ranks high for corporate expansion projectsAsheville aims to become green business hub

Among metro areas of simi-lar size, Spartanburg is ranked second in the nation for corpo-rate facility expansion proj-ects in 2010, according to “Site Selection Magazine.” The publi-cation, which caters to corporate executives responsible for facil-ity planning, puts Spartanburg in a tie for second with Dayton, Ohio, among metros with a population between 200,000 to 1 million. Both Dayton and Spartan-burg , home to a growing BMW facility and supplier base, had 29 corporate facility expansion projects announced in 2010.

“Site Selection” also gives a high ranking to some other metro areas in the Carolinas, including Greensboro/High Point, which ranked seventh with 23 corporate facility ex-pansion projects. Also on this year’s list for metros of similar size was Augusta, Ga., and Rich-mond County, S.C., at ninth and Charleston/North Charleston, S.C., at 10th.

The Carolinas were not rep-resented in the rankings of metro areas with a population above one million or those with a population below 200,000.

However, the Carolinas were well represented in the maga-zine’s ranking of the top small towns for industry expansion, claiming the top three spots. Lexington-Thomasville, N.C., was the top micropolitan area in the country for corporate real estate deals in 2010 (26 facil-ity projects), while Statesville-Mooresville, N.C., was the runner-up (17 projects) and Sen-eca, S.C. was third (13 projects).

***Efforts to establish Western

North Carolina as a hub for clean-energy investment have received a boost from $420,000 in grants. The N.C. Rural Cen-ter, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the Appalachian Regional Commission awarded funds to the Land-of-Sky Re-gional Council to help grow WNC’s green economy.

Land-of-Sky is partnering with Advantage-West Economic Development Group and five regional councils of government to attract investment in sustain-

able building t e c h n o l o -gies, renew-able energy, low-emission vehicles and energy effi-

ciency projects. The groups will use the funds

to develop a clean-energy brand and marketing plan for Western North Carolina, which is already home to more than 1,000 busi-nesses that identify themselves as green.

***South Carolina is among the

leading states in the country for LEED-certified green build-ings. The U.S. Green Build-ing Council reports that South Carolina has 3.19 square feet of LEED space per person, putting it fifth in the country for build-ings that meet the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards for energy efficient construction. Nevada topped the list with 10.92 square feet of LEED space per person, followed by New Mexico (6.35), New Hampshire (4.49) and Or-egon (4.07). South Carolina was the only state from the Southeast to make the top 10.

heart“ I was lucky – because I recognized the signs early, called 911, and

was taken to Mission. From the time I came through the door,

they had a stent in place in just 17 minutes. They saved my life

there at the heart center, but it was at Heart Path where

they gave me the confi dence to live again. Surrounded by a

rehabilitation team who really cared about me and understood

my fear, I was not only able to recover from my heart attack;

I trained for my fi rst marathon.”

its Lake Lure branch in June, leaving the town without any local banks. Mountain 1st Bank closed its Lake Lure branch in February. The closest Mountain 1st Bank branch is now in Hen-dersonville. TD Bank, formerly Carolina First, will close its branch at 107 Arcade Street, but leave an ATM in the Rumbling Bald Resort. Town officials said they are working to attract a local bank branch. Mayor Bob Keith said there is a need for a good commu-nity bank for the Chimney R o c k / L a k e Lure area.

***Flat Rock Playhouse would

receive about $40,000 less in state funding based on cuts proposed by N.C. Governor Bev Perdue for the upcoming 2011-2012 fiscal year, which starts in July. As part of $3.2 billion in cuts recommended by Perdue, funding would be cut for three North Carolina theater groups. Flat Rock Playhouse, the State Theatre of North Carolina, has a total annual budget of about $4 million, including $39,933 awarded from the N.C. Gen-eral Assembly in the current fiscal year. Flat Rock Playhouse would have a chance to offset the budget cut through a grant from the N.C. Arts Council. The state provides only about 1.5 percent of the operating budget for the Playhouse, which is cel-ebrating its 50th anniversary as a state theater.

***The Spartanburg Regional

Heart Failure Center expects to see more rapid growth in the number of patients it serves over the next year. The center already has grown from serving 15 patients when it opened 13 years ago to now serving more than 400. Hospital officials said patient visits are expected to double over the next year, partly because of the economy

and proposed Medicaid cuts. Officials said the economic conditions lead more people to eat cheaper, less healthy foods.

The center receives most of its patients through hospital referrals and about half of them are either underinsured or unin-sured. The center said it is un-able to absorb the cost of emer-gency treatment for patients that lack sufficient insurance. The average age of patients at the center is 63.

***Black Mountain Mayor Carl

Bartlett said he believes the U.S. Census Bureau did not provide an accurate count of the number of residents

in the town. The town has a population of 7,848, according to the Census 2010 count. After increasing 38 percent from 1990 to 2000, the town’s population grew only 4.5 percent between 2000 and 2010.

Black Mountain planning director Elizabeth Teague said the official Census count is well below her projection of 9,132, based on the 2000 Census and the number of home occupancy certificates issued since then.

Teague acknowledges that the big population jump from 2000 to 2010 was largely at-tributed to a town annexation and the town did not grow its boundaries much in the past de-cade. However, she said it’s odd the 2010 Census count is also well below the 2009 population estimate of 8,526 from the N.C. Data Center.

Mayor Bartlett said the town is considering a challenge of the latest count, considering that it impacts how much the town receives in sales tax revenue, road improvement funds and federal aid.

a $6 million expansion of the Davis Arena will provide an economic boost for Henderson County. The center, which will have 45,000 square feet of ex-hibit space, will likely attract large conventions and events, said officials. The Ag Center is also renovating its Expo building and recently completed the Vir-ginia Boone Bui ld ing , a 5,000-square-foot log cabin building with a c a t e r i n g k i t chen fo r hosting weddings and corpo-rate events.

The changes mark a shift in the Ag Center’s use to more non-agricultural purposes, such as sportsman shows, home and garden shows and even mixed martial arts matches. However, the biggest event at the center remains the N.C. Mountain State Fair, which drew 185,000 people last year, the third most in the fair’s history. The Ag Cen-ter receives some state funds to help with construction costs, but covers operational costs through the event bookings. The center, which said it has a $13.2 million economic impact on the area, expects recent improvements will help it draw bookings for more large and small events throughout the year.

post 241 near Doughton Park. The diner, open since 1949, drew thousands of parkway visitors and became a regular gathering spot over the years, but likely will not open this spring. Parkway superintendent Phil Francis said the parkway is looking for another management company to take over the coffee shop, the adjacent Mabry Mill lodge and the Crabtree Mead-ows store. However, he does not

expect to find a new operat-ing company in t ime for the upcoming tourist season.

The restaurant closed before maintenance work began on a 30-mile stretch of the parkway that would have forced travel-ers over the next two years to backtrack if they want to visit the diner. The parkway said it is examining what times of servic-es may be needed at Doughton Park, and it hopes companies will be more interested in the restaurant once the roadwork is complete.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Shape up daily workoutHaving been a personal

trainer for some 25 years, er-rors people make in the gym jump out at me. These mistakes not only drive me nuts, they keep people from making real progress. Also, most are easily corrected.

The f i r s t thing to re-member is just because you darken the door of a gym, or visit a personal train-ing studio, doesn’t mean you’re going to get in shape. Here are a few ways to take poor situa-tions in the gym, and turn them around to your benefit.

1) Sacrificing good form for speed. When I’m training a client, I not only pace their workout, I pace every move-ment. When weight training, there are two points of stress – the muscles and the joints. The goal here is to take pressure off joints, and put it on the muscles.

By performing exercise movements slowly and con-trolled, most of the pressure is put on the muscles, not the joints. This keeps joints healthy, while working the muscles more effectively. You’ll also burn more calories by slowing your repetition movements.

2) Not warming up properly. This is a big one! There is a lubricating fluid that surrounds your joints, called “synovial fluid”. Before exercise, this fluid is thick, sort of gel-like. When you warm up before you work out though, this fluid takes on more of a “viscous” consis-tency. This better lubricates the joints to protect them.

3) Not staying hydrated. Remember, you’re constantly losing water from your skin and your breath.

What I tell clients is this…if your skin is damp, you’ve lost pints of water. If your skin is wet, you’ve lost quarts. Also, muscle is 70 to 75 percent wa-ter, so if you are dehydrated, it’s like running on flat tires. Ad-

ditionally, drinking cool water will burn more calories, than drinking tepid water, because your body has to warm up the cool water to your body’s nor-mal temperature.

Be careful though. If you’re really hot, cool down some first, before you drink re-

ally cold water. If your body is really hot, cold water could throw you into shock.

4) Doing weight training ex-ercises in the wrong order. Al-though there are many different weight training strategies, that I don’t have room in this writ-ing to go into, one of the most basic, is to train larger muscles to smaller ones. In other words, start your workouts, by training your larger muscle groups, then work your way to your smaller ones.

Your training order should go something like this: legs, back, chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps and abdominals. Always do your abs last.

The reason for this is that abdominal muscles are “sta-bilizer” muscles. You can’t do any exercise without using you abdominal muscles. If you work these muscles early on, during your routine, you’ll be weaker for all your other exercises. Use these tips to make real progress in the gym.

March blood drives in Polk CountyThe holiday season has ended

and a new year is underway, which means it’s time to get back to regular routines and schedules. But what if you could escape the hustle and bustle of the daily grind and set out on an adven-ture? Present to donate blood or platelets with the American Red Cross and you could “Take to the Skies!” with Delta Air Lines.

On Monday, March 14, the Polk Community Blood Drive will be held at Holy Cross Epis-copal Church (located on Mel-rose Avenue in Tryon), from 12:30 - 5 p.m. Call 828-894-2700 for more information or to sched-ule an appointment.

On Sunday, March 27, a blood drive will be held at Coopers Gap Baptist Church, located at 730 Coopers Gap Road in Columbus, from 1:30 - 6 p.m. Call 828-894-8059, 828-894-3232 or 828-625-9272 for more information or to schedule an appointment.

All presenting donors at both drives will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win one of two pairs of roundtrip Delta Airline tickets.

The campaign, which runs from January 1 to March 31, 2011, gives each person who presents to donate blood or platelets with the Red Cross an opportunity to enter a drawing for the chance to win one of two pairs of roundtrip Delta Air Lines domestic tickets.

During the winter months,

the blood supply often suffers tremendously, but the need for blood is constant. Therefore, the Red Cross is encouraging donors to start the year off right by helping make sure the blood supply in the region remains at an adequate level.

“Every day, people attend American Red Cross blood drives and give another chance to some-one they will never meet,” stated Joyce Brendel, chief executive officer with the Carolinas Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “The Red Cross is grateful to Delta Air Lines for this unique opportunity to say thank you to blood donors for helping hospital patients in need.”

The Carolinas Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross provides lifesaving blood to 103 hospitals and must have 1,600 people give blood and platelets each weekday to meet the needs of patients.

Blood can be safely donated every 56 days. Most healthy people age 17 and older, or 16 with parental consent, who weigh at least 110 pounds, are eligible to donate blood and platelets. Donors who are 18 and younger must also meet specific height and weight requirements.

To schedule a donation appoint-ment, call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit on-line at redcrossblood.org.

Relay For Life held April 29 at PCHSThe Polk County Relay for

Life will be held April 29 at Polk County High School.

Much more than a walk around a track, Relay is a time to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember those lost and get inspired to fight back.

Every dollar raised makes a difference to people in the com-munity whose lives are touched by cancer. The Society has con-tributed to almost every major discovery in cancer research. Millions of lives have been saved as a result. For those people and countless others, the research the Society has funded is resulting in better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer.

The American Cancer Society will also continue to exert influ-

ence on all levels of government, advocating for stronger policies and enacting legislation that will save lives and conquer cancer. When cancer affects you or someone you love, the American Cancer Society can lessen your fears and provide inspiration through our many programs and services - all free of charge and made possible through dona-tions from local communities. Donations also give those touched by cancer places to turn for help through the Society’s Web site, www.cancer.org and the 24-hour toll-free number, 1-800-ACS-2345.

For more information on Polk County Relay For Life call Pete Crandall at 828-894-0401.

Letter to the Editor

Inalienable rightsTo the Editor: The United States Supreme

Court just ruled on the inalienable right of free speech as it related to those protesters who express such mean, hateful and hurtful sentiments like “God loves dead soldiers.”

And, regrettably, that stand also applies to “the God-given (inalienable) right to be stupid,” a quote from writer Dean Koontz.

– Bill Wuehrmann

Harmon Field Heritage Days receives grant from Harmon Foundation

Students learn about firing a cannon during Harmon Field Heritage Days' Educational Days 2010. Educational Days will be March 24 and 25. (photo submitted)

Thanks to a grant from the Harmon Foundation, students across the area will once again be able to enjoy Harmon Field Heritage Days free of charge. Friends of Harmon Field re-ceived a donation from the Harmon Foundation for Heri-tage Days.

Area schools will be invited to bring their students to this annual event on the fourth weekend of March. The event begins with the educational days Thursday and Friday, March 24 and 25. The public is invited to come to Harmon Field on Saturday and Sunday for all the activities that will be available. More information and a schedule will be posted closer to the event.

“Last year over 800 students participated in the two-day educational segment,” Lorna Dever, director of the event, said. “We are hoping that teach-ers will once again bring their students to enjoy the activities we have planned this year. We hope to offer different things each year to make it interesting ongoing.”

The Second North Carolina Mounted Infantry helps orga-nize the event with other Civil War reenactors throughout the Southeast.

“We will have reenactors here over the weekend from Columbus, Gastonia, Hickory, Catawba, Columbia and Wal-halla,” David Smith, captain of the 2nd NCMI said. “This is one of the best local events I have had the fortune attend-ing. The kids are great and the skirmish depicts an actual event that happened in Polk County at the close of the Civil War. I invite everyone to come to stroll through the camps and visit us, sit by our fire and enjoy fellow-ship with us and learn about their own history.”

Tryon Arts and Crafts School will join in the celebra-tion of Heritage Days. During the week, students will watch and participate in demonstra-tions in several era crafts. The school will open its studios for hands-on experiences in crafts including basketry, pottery, blacksmithing, woodworking, weaving and other fiber crafts. These crafts are a critical part of this region’s heritage and Tryon Arts and Crafts School will emphasize their significance since the 1800s. In addition, the school will have their annual Heritage Days Open House on Saturday. All studios will be open for demonstrations and

Saluda Arts Festival gets competitive, announces musical lineupThe Saluda Business Associa-

tion says it is determined to draw a large crowd to its eighth annual Saluda Arts Festival on May 21.

With many festivals from which to choose in the spring, the SBA feels it owes it to the artists who exhibit creative art-work to have a large audience in which to sell his or her work.

Creating even more excite-ment for the festival is the mu-sic lineup that includes One Leg

Up and the Swayback Sisters.Based in Asheville, N.C.,

One Leg Up performs a mixture of Gypsy Jazz, Latin, swing and original jazz compositions and is a favorite of club, concert and festival stages throughout the southeastern United States.

The Swayback Sisters are Laura Blackley, Nikki Tal-ley and Lyndsay Wojcik. This Asheville-based roots trio de-cided to join forces and create

a diverse musical experience for themselves as well as their audiences. While each sister is proficient in her songwriting and guitar work, the real treat is the blending of their voices in three-part harmony.

This is a juried art event of-fering cash awards of more than $1,500 to a range of 2D and 3D artwork.

Applications for participa-tion can be downloaded from

the www.saluda.com website or by contacting Susie Welsh at 828-749-3900 or Catherine Ross at 828-243-8696 or email [email protected] for more in-formation. Only 50 artists will be juried in and applications are due by March 15.

Celebrating its 130th birth-day, events are being planned at the arts festival to dedicate Saluda’s history and heritage.

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship meets in Tryon March 13The Unitarian Universal-

ist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Sunday, March 13 at 10:30 a.m. The ser-mon will be by Reverend Jean Rowe, who will speak on the topic: “Josseline, Immigration and Ethics.”

“Fourteen-year-old Josseline, a girl from El Salvador who was left to die alone on the migrant trail, was just one of the thou-sands to perish in the Arizona deserts and mountains. It is a familiar story in human history. Great migrations. Hospitality

or no hospitality. Strangers in a strange land. Is there judgment or mercy? These are major theo-logical themes. Is the universe (God) merciful or judgmental? What does Love demand?” said Rowe. There will be a discussion after the sermon.

Come early to share refresh-ments and fellowship. There will be a homemade pizza lunch with salad for a small fee served after the service. For information, call 828-894-5776 or visit www.uutryonnc.org.

Sunshine, spring brings Saluda to life

‘Keep your face to the sun-shine and you cannot see the shadow.’

– Helen Keller

Welcome to March Saluda news and notations!

March has shown signs of coming in like a lion with all the high winds roaring around. Have you found your kite yet?

On sun-dappled warm morn-ings, I carry a hot cup of coffee out to the front porch steps to inhale the new day and listen to the birds.

Pooh comes out with me, and I don’t know which of us is more grateful for the sunshine.

Those simple moments are the best!

The winter has been a long, hard one, with propane bills through the roof. Next time I get one of those sky-high bills stuck on my back door, I’ll just tell the gas company folks to just take an arm and a leg instead, since my bank account has already been beat up and hasn’t recovered yet.

From what I hear, I’m not the only one feeling the pain of heating bills. We’re all in the same boat!

Need to do a little spring cleaning around your house? In my case, a little cleaning would mean taking at least a year to tackle the dreaded chore!

Pull out those items you may no longer need, and donate them to a great Saluda cause.

Our Saluda 130th Anniver-sary committee has planned a community-wide auction to be held at the Saluda Center to raise funds to “Keep the Celebration on Track” on April 23 starting at 10 a.m.

You can donate furniture, jewelry, glassware, household goods and decorative items for

the auction. Our very own Tangie Ciarvole, a licensed auctioneer, will conduct the auction.

Please call 828-749-3789 for delivery information.

Members of the 130th Com-mittee include: Charlene Pace, Judy Ward, Linda Whitaker, Eva McCray, Walter Hoover, Nora Parks Anderson, Terry Baisden, Catherine Ross, Greaton Sellers and Caroline Farris.

Saluda School students have made colorful birthday cards in honor of the town’s anni-versary; cards h a v e b e e n placed around town in vari-

ous locations...so stop in along Main Street and enjoy the art!

Happy March Birthday to: Charlotte Brady, Genell Jespers-en, Charlene Pace, Valerie Mintz, Sheldon Mintz, Curtis Pace, Lloyd Thompson, Charles Wein-hagen and Ron Poole. Please add your birthday to the list!

Recycling notes: for city resi-dents, there is a handy brochure available from city hall that explains garbage pick up and curbside recycling services. You might want to stop by and pick one up to have on hand.

Condolences go out to the family of Vanessa Mintz, who was loved and respected; she had deep roots in this area and kept active in community matters.

It is sad to see such an unex-pected loss, and I hope we will remember her by doing good for others and living with kindness.

Please also remember the families of Lucy Morgan and Minnie Lee Sain Conner.

What’s on your reading list this March?

Mine still has garden catalogs, antique rose catalogs (naturally I want every one of the many kinds offered!), plus novels by Nora

Local produce CSA availableThere is a new kind of Com-

munity Sponsored Agriculture (CSA) available in Polk County for people who care about or-ganically grown local food. Tra-ditionally, a CSA functioned by paying an upfront payment to an individual farm and then receiv-ing 20 weeks of fresh produce that was all equally distributed to all its members each week. This meant that everyone received the same exact variety and volume of produce week after week despite what their personal tastes and needs may have been.

For many people the surprise of what they would receive was fun and exciting, but for many people, it became problematic in that they were receiving items they might not have been fond of, or that they did not receive enough of other items that they loved.

Now there is a solution to those dilemmas and to others that have been a part of the traditional CSA experience. Welcome to Polk N.C. Locally Grown, an internet-based, custom ordering system. When you join Polk Locally Grown, you have access to the fresh harvest of an entire network of organically grown local produce, fresh cut flowers and value-added items (fresh bread, soups, pestos, salad dressing, jellies, herbal tea, etc.).

Your upfront seasonal payment goes into a debit-like system ac-

count, which you are able to draw from throughout the growing season. Each Saturday you’ll get sent an e-mail notice of everything that is available for purchase in the upcoming week along with a link to the website. You browse the items and place an order for exactly what you would like for that week. The local organic farmers harvest on Monday and Tuesday, and on Wednesday you pick up your bag that has all the items in it that you ordered. The amount of your order will be au-tomatically deducted from your account, so there’s no waiting and no exchange of money on a weekly basis.

Memberships will be on a limited basis and are filling fast. If you are interested in joining, send an email to [email protected] and you will receive further information on how to sign up.

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

I have very little involve-ment in this weeks tale, save for the fact that I visited Popper often at Pet Tender Angels.

Lori Jewell, who began this fabulous rescue organization, is a dear and cher-ished friend. Knowing how I have a tendency to gravitate toward animals who have problems, it won’t be hard to see why Popper was the highlight of my visits.

Popper is a medium-sized pit mix who was found as a stray around 2 ½ years ago, with her foreleg severely mangled. The cause wasn’t known, a car ac-cident, abuse or simply caught in something, were all possible scenarios. Be that as it may, the nerve damage was too far gone for the leg to be saved and for the past two years Popper has gotten around on three limbs. Her warmth, friendliness and agility were not hindered in the least. My nickname for her became “Popper the heart stopper.”

Mending broken hearts: Popper’s tale

popper (photo submitted)

Many years ago, the Remeta family adopted Abby, a Labra-dor retriever from the Humane Society.

The story of how this very special girl and t h e R e m e t a family saved each other was published in the “Chicken Soup

for Dog Lovers” book. Last June, at age 14, Abby had to be put to sleep to end her suffering. I and my readers are aware that God only lends them to us, but we also know what a difficult decision that is to make.

Time and life eventually heal all wounds through cherished memories remain forever. Jen-nifer and her husband, along with their two boys, Alex, (5) and Stephen (3) have begun putting things together.

Pandora (their cat)pretty much goes along to get along. About six months ago they adopted Shade, a 6 month old lab mix and were busy training the pup when Popper caught Jennifer’s eye on the internet’s

Petfinders. The story and the photo captured Jennifer’s heart.

One Saturday Jennifer went out to Pet Tender Angels to volunteer and to actually meet Popper. Jennifer states, “I was a goner after that.”

I could have told her that. Jennifer begged and pleaded with her reluctant husband that they should foster her until she found a home and finally con-vinced him.

Once home the whole family saw what a special and loving girl Popper was. She imme-diately bonded with the boys. She runs and plays at breakneck speed with Shade and could care less about Pandora (which was a bit of a worry). Jennifer says, “I believe that old Abby had a hand, or paw, in helping us find each other.” I could have told her that too, “right Monty?”

There are so many wonder-ful things that can be told in this story, perhaps one day Jennifer will tell it all in another Chicken Soup tale. Jennifer also states, “it took over two years for Pop-per to find a home, not because

of the missing limb, not because she’s a pit mix, simply because she was waiting for us.”

In case you’re wondering, the Remeta’s have fully adopted my sweet Popper and I have been invited to visit anytime I wish. How can I possibly keep from meeting this beautiful family of kindred spirits and my precious heart stopper one more time. For now all hears have been mended, the Remeta’s, Popper’s and most definitely my own.

Thanks for listening.

Time to get checked for colon cancer if you are 50 or olderDuring the month of March,

health providers across the coun-try bring attention and awareness to colorectal cancer. Why? Be-cause every year, about 135,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer and about 57,000 die from the disease. But most people are uncomfortable talking about colon cancer or the screening to detect it.

When colorectal cancer is detected early, the chances of successful treatment are the greatest. Screening also finds many polyps before cancer develops. By removing these growths, cancer can actually be prevented. Colorectal cancer can be prevented or detected early and with little discomfort by using one or more of the fol-lowing procedures available at

St. Luke’s Hospital with your doctor’s order:

• The fecal occult blood test is a simple at-home procedure that checks stool samples for hidden blood, which can be a sign of cancer, polyps or other internal disorders.

• Colonoscopy is a procedure using a flexible, hollow, lighted tube that detects cancer or pol-yps inside the rectum and lower colon. The colonscope is long enough to view the entire colon.

• The double-contrast barium enema is an x-ray examination that allows a radiologist to view the entire colon.

• If a polyp or abnormality is discovered, a small tissue sample is removed through the colon-scope for further examination. If cancer is found, surgery, some-

times combined with radiation and/or chemotherapy, is the most effective method of treatment.

• Most colorectal cancers begin as a polyp that later becomes cancerous. If polyps are found early, they can be removed before cancer devel-ops. In this sense, colorectal cancer is a disease that can be prevented. Eating a diet that is low in fat and rich in fruits and vegetables may also lower the risk of colorectal cancer.

“Most of these cases occur after the age of 50, which is why men and women at aver-age risk should begin regular screening at age 50,” urges general surgeon Jim Holleman, MD. “However, anyone with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, polyps in the

colon or rectum, or inflamma-tory bowel disease is at higher risk for the disease and may need to begin screening sooner and more often. If you are age 50 or older, or if you are at a higher risk because of your personal or family history, talk to your doc-tor about colorectal screening. If you experience symptoms such as change in bowel habits, rectal bleeding or stomach cramps that will not go away, see your doctor immediately.”

Dr. Holleman said colonos-copy is highly effective and a true preventive test in cancer treatment.

“If you are 50 years of age or older, you need to schedule a colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer,” Dr. Holleman said.

Letter to the EditorChamber capable of running tourism

To the Editor: Open letter to Polk County

CommissionersDear Commissioners,I want to voice my support of

moving the Travel and Tourism office to the Foothills Chamber of Commerce office.

The Chamber of Commerce has the facility already in place to operate a tourism office. We can hire an Internet savvy, part-time employee to staff the office and represent our community on weekends and Monday holidays – when tourists are looking for directions and information.

The chamber has proven to be able to provide excellent service under controlled budgets. It is re-spected among the business own-ers – especially those businesses that rely on the tourist dollars.

For example: There are at least 83 member businesses directly related to tourism, including 16 accommodations providers (the large majority of whom are located within Polk County), - 16 restau-rants, 14 shops and stores, and 5 equestrian-related organizations, as well as entertainment businesses, spas, golf courses, museums, win-eries and real estate businesses.

Moving the Travel and Tour-ism will allow a higher percent-age of monies to be allocated directly to marketing our county to the rest of the world.

Sincerely,Bill Crowell, Saluda Forge28 year member of the Cham-

ber of Commerce; board member of Travel and Tourism, Tryon.

– Bill Crowell,owner Saluda Forge


Holleman completes integrative medicine fellowship; Pinecastle signs Asheville’s Town Mountain bluegrass band

General surgeon James Hol-leman, MD, recently completed a two-year integrative medicine fellowship through the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. Dr. Holleman, chief of staff for St. Luke’s Hospital, has practiced at Holleman Surgical in Polk County since December 2002. Dr. Holle-man continues to practice surgery but plans to incorporate integrative care into his practice when safe and practical to provide the best overall care to the whole per-son.

T h e U n i -versity of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine was founded to establish methods of treating pa-tients through nutrition, botanical medicines and mind-body interven-tions. These methods were meant to enhance both prevention and con-ventional treatments. The Arizona Center was founded in 1994 by Dr. Andrew Weil, an American author and physician who is best known for establishing and popularizing the field of integrative medicine. Weil is the author of several best-selling books about general health

and healthy aging.Integrative medicine (IM) is de-

fined by the center as a healing-ori-ented medicine that takes account of the whole person (mind, body, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the thera-peutic relationship between prac-titioner and patient and makes use of all appropriate therapies, accord-ing to Dr. Holleman. IM neither rejects conventional medicine nor

accepts alterna-tive therapies uncritically.

“The differ-ence between IM and alterna-

tive medicine is that IM attempts to seamlessly blend various mo-dalities of allopathic medicine with those of other disciplines such as nutritional counseling, plant-based therapies and mind-body modali-ties,” Dr. Holleman said. “This can involve anything from recommend-ing meditation, t’ai chi and yoga for overall wellness to referral for evaluation by practitioners of tra-ditional systems of Homeopathic, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, when it’s appropriate.”

Among the range of exotic to

routine interventions which could be employed, perhaps the most im-portant is dietary, which Holleman said will be his initial integrative focus.

During the two-year program, Dr. Holleman was published in “Unique Opportunities - The Phy-sician’s Resource,” a bi-monthly publication with articles on topics relating to business and lifestyle aspects of a physician’s career and medical practice.

Holleman Surgical is located in St. Luke’s Medical Office Park at 44 Hospital Drive, Suite 1A, Co-lumbus. From more information, call 828-894-3300.

signed Asheville bluegrass band Town Mountain to its roster.

The band performs a mix of mostly original material that cre-ates a foot-stomping bluegrass sound mixed with slow country crooning and a honkytonk edge.

Town Mountain traveled out on its first national tour in 2005, which they capped off by winning the prestigious Rockygrass Band Competition.

***Mary Lyth and Joe Laudisio of

Giardini Trattoria and Gardens had a nice-looking website – www.giardinigardens.com. The problem was that their former web designer moved away and left things unfin-ished. They contacted Turner HD Media to give the site a “refresh.”

Eric and Lynn Turner made the changes Lyth and Laudisio wanted, updated time-sensitive material, added social media links and made the site more user friendly.

The new website is a vital link to customers, Lyth and Laudisio said. It also keeps the public in-formed about the activities held at Giardini Trattoria and Gardens, menu selections (which change with available ingredients) and catering services.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Gifts

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.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Lifetime QTIP

Q. My husband and I have an estate of $3 million, but his share of our property is only $300,000. Is there any way to ensure my husband’s estate will use the applicable exclusion amount if he dies first and ensure that my property will go to my children after we are both gone?A. YesAs it currently stands if your husband dies before you do, only $300,000 will be in his estate and the benefit of the full exclusion amount ($1million) will be lost. By using a lifetime QTIP trust, you can make a tax-free gift to your husband but control the use of that gift. The value of the QTIP will be included in your husband’s estate and not yours. You can provide that when you are both gone, the property remaining in the QTIP trust is to go to your children. This technique accomplishes both goals of reducing estate taxes and ensuring that your children receive the benefit of your assets.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Corporate Trustee

Q. What is a corporate trustee and why would I use one.A. A corporate trustee is a bank trust department or trust company. They can help you build, manage and protect the assets you put in your trust. reasons to use a corporate trustee: Professional asset management. they can manage assets in your trust now and after you die as you instruct, buying and selling assets, paying bills, filing tax returns maintaining accurate records, and distribution income and asses. Corporate trustees give their full attention to managing trust assets and because of their resources and experience they often do so with better results. Wealth protection: Corporate trustees are regulated by both state and federal agencies. Courts consider them “experts” and expect them to meet higher standards than non professionals.Corporate trustees don’t become ill, die, get divorces or get distracted by personal problems.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Asset Protection

Q. How do I evaluate a corporate trustee?A. Talk to several. ask how long the trust department or company has been in business, how many trusts do they manage, minimum and average sizes of the trusts and how much experience the staff has. Compare investment returns and fees. ask to see samples of statements or reports and see if you understand them clearly. Facts are important, so are the people. Do they seem to care? Do they listen? How comfortable are you that they will be there for your family when needed. remember, a corporate trustee need not be the sole trustee. If you are concerned about the “human” touch, you can always appoint a co-trustee who is a family member or friend.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Dear Savvy SeniorI would like to find out what

kinds of veterans benefits are available to older vets and their spouses? My dad served four years in the Army during the Korean War, and I’m curious to see if there are any VA benefits that he or my mom may qualify for. What can you tell me?

Searching Son

Dear Searching,That’s a great question. There

are actually millions of older veterans and their families who don’t take advantage of the VA benefits they’re entitled to because they either don’t know they exist or they don’t think they would qualify for them. Here’s what you and your parents should know.

Underused benefitsWhile the VA provides a wide

range of commonly-known ben-efits and services for its veterans – like health care, education support through the GI Bill and home loans – they also provide a bevy of lesser-known benefits that were specifically created to help senior veterans and their family members, as well as their survivors.

To be eligible, however, your parent’s income and assets in most cases will need to be below certain limits, and your dad’s discharge from the military must have been under conditions other than dishonorable. Here’s a breakdown of four benefits that are often overlooked by older vets and their families.

Veterans pensionThis is available to limited-

income veterans that are age 65 and older or are totally disabled,

who served at least 90 days of active military service with at least one day of service during a period of war (stateside or over-seas). To be eligible, your par-ent’s assets will generally need to be under $80,000 not counting their house and vehicle, and their annual “countable income” must be under $15,493 or $11,830 for a single veteran. Countable income includes earnings, disability and retirement payments, interest and dividends, and net income from business or farming, minus medical expenses if they exceed at least 5 percent of their total income.

Death pensionThis is available to low-in-

come surviving spouses and dependents of wartime veterans whose death was not related to military service. To receive this benefit, a surviving spouse’s annual income must be under $7,933, or under $9,696 if she is housebound (minus medical expenses), with cash assets under $80,000.

Aid and attendanceThis little known benefit can

help elderly veterans and their spouses pay for in-home care, an assisted living facility or nursing home care. It pays up to $1,949 per month, in addition to the monthly pension benefits. To qualify, the veteran must be 65 or older (or permanently disabled), have served during wartime and meet certain financial and medi-cal requirements.

To qualify medically, one of your parents would need assis-tance with basic everyday living

tasks like eating, bathing, dress-ing or going to the bathroom. Be-ing blind or in a nursing home or assisted living facility for mental incapacity also qualifies.

And to qualify financially, your parent’s annual income as a couple (minus medical and long-term care expenses) cannot exceed $23,396; $19,736 for a single veteran; or $12,681 for a surviving spouse. And their as-sets must be less that $80,000, excluding their home and car.

Burial benefitsRegardless of income and as-

sets, this benefit provides all vet-erans, spouses and dependents a free burial at a national cemetery and a free grave marker. Unfortu-nately, funeral or cremation costs are not covered.

However, some veterans may qualify for a $300 funeral allow-ance and $300 for a plot if they choose to be buried in a private cemetery. To learn more see www.cem.va.gov.

VA resourcesA good place to learn about all

types of veterans benefits is at the online at www.ebenefits.va.gov or www.vba.va.gov.

Or, contact your regional VA office or local veterans service organization, where you can get personalized help and assistance in filing claims. See www.va.gov/statedva.htm for contact infor-mation or call the VA benefits helpline at 800-827-1000.

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.

Waffle House cooks for BBQ cookersIt’s on the house. Waffle House.

There will be more than the smell of barbecue slowing cooking in “Hog Heaven” during this year’s 18th An-nual Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival.

There will also be the smell of waffles, thanks to Waffle House in Columbus. At 4:30 a.m. Saturday morning, while contestants from all over the country are still snoring, Waffle House Operations Man-ager Karl Kropp and his team will descend on Hog Heaven and start cooking up breakfast for 300.

This is the first time a local business has volunteered to donate virtually all the food for the cook-ers’ Saturday morning breakfast. Kropp and his wife, Teresa, have lived in Columbus for 18 years.

“It’s all about community – giving back to the community,” Karl said.

Festival Chairman Chuck Brit-ton said he is excited about a new spirit of local involvement he sees with this year’s festival, with Waffle House a perfect example.

“This is great. It’s about a local business stepping up and being a part of this event,” Britton said.

When they wake up Saturday morning, cookers will be treated to eggs, gravy, biscuits, hash browns, grits, coffee, tea, orange juice and, of course, waffles.

Behind the Waffle House team will be Peggy Wyllie and her 16 volunteers. Wyllie has headed up

the breakfast volunteers since the festival started 18 years ago. It’s a labor of love (and biscuits) and it’s the reason the Blue Ridge bar-becue competition is the favorite among cookers from all over the country. It’s the volunteers who make it happen. Waffle House’s teaming with Peggy and her volunteers is sure to mark a new standard for Hog Heaven.

The Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival will be held at Harmon Field in Tryon on June 10 and 11. The event includes a cooking competition – sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue So-ciety – and music (on two stages); a juried craft fair with more than 50 artists and crafters; carnival rides and games; sponsor displays and, of course, the food.

Saturday’s special events include the third annual Rubber Ducky

River Race; a classic car show, and “Hawg” Runs (motorcycle poker runs) originating in Greenville and Asheville and ending at the festival. Look for upcoming announcements about other attractions.

The festival is conducted an-nually under the auspices of the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce. Proceeds from the fes-tival help support chamber opera-tions and additional proceeds go to the Carolina Foothills Chamber Foundation to be returned to the community through distributions to a variety of charitable and civic programs and projects. Funds are generated by a modest admission fee, contestant entry fees and sponsorships.

For further information, call the festival office at 828-859-RIBS (7427) or visit BlueRidgeBBQFestival.com.
