Columbus Councilwoman Ernie Kan is getting the courthouse sidewalk repair project finished up with new help. Flowers were recently purchased with donations and the Polk County High School FFA planted the flowers as a project in time for Mother’s Day. Kan thanked the FFA and Polk County employees who prepared the beds during a Columbus Town Council meeting held Tuesday, May 17. Kan began the project about a year ago to repair the sidewalk with time and money being donated. The sidewalk in front of the courthouse is nearly complete. The FFA had two classes work recently to plant the flowers and the county provided four employees who worked three or four days on the project. “It’s encouraging to have new people working on the sidewalks,” said Kan.

upgrade at zero interest. The town was previously looking at 2.445 percent interest on the loan. Receiving the funding at zero interest will save the town $38,000, Tripp said.

Columbus was notified in April that it was awarded a loan from the DENR Con-struction Grant and Loans Section Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program. The loan will be for 20 years with reimbursements beginning after construction begins. The town included the engineering contract funding in next year’s budget and will be reimbursed for the costs from the loan.

Columbus is also consider-ing its budget for 2011-2012, with proposals for sewer rates to increase beginning next year to pay back the loan. Columbus Town Manager

Jonathan Kanipe submitted his budget proposal to council last week with a 10-percent proposed increase in sewer rates next year.

Tripp told council the town will begin paying back the loan as early as Nov. 1, 2013 or as late as May 1, 2014, de-pending on when construction begins. There is a June 2012 deadline for plans to be sub-mitted to the state. Tripp has said construction could begin around January 2013.

W. K. Dickson is currently working to complete the pre-liminary engineering report (PER), environmental assess-ment (EA) and engineering re-port (ER) for the project, with total costs for that work being $38,000. The town previously paid W. K. Dickson $10,000 for the PER and EA.

Columbus council members visited the town’s wastewater treatment plant last October.

After that visit, members said the town has no choice but to upgrade its plant. The town’s WWTP is 40 years old and no longer meets state standards. Upgrades needed include re-placing several aspects of the plant. The plant will remain at its current capacity of 800,000 gallons per day following the upgrade.

Original plans were for the town to rehabilitate the wastewater treatment plant as well as making upgrades to the hospital pump station and bringing a fifth well online, but the state looked more fa-vorably on awarding the loan if only the WWTP upgrade was included.

Council also on Tuesday, May 17 agreed to replace two pumps at the hospital pump station for an estimated $19,000.

The money to replace the pumps will come from the

water/sewer fund, which as of last week had a surplus of $174,000, according to as-sistant finance officer Kathy Gregory. Gregory said if ap-proximately $20,000 is used to replace the pumps, that cost, combined with other expenses for the fund, would decrease the water/sewer surplus to $60,000.

Kanipe said replacing the 40-year-old pumps would complete a significant portion of needed upgrades to the hospital lift station.

The town expects to have the pumps replaced by the end of this fiscal year, which is June 30. The new budget year, with expected increases in sewer rates to pay for the treatment plant upgrades, will begin July 1.

W. K. Dickson will handle all designing and reporting of the WWTP project as well as the bidding process.

Lady Wolverines win state 2A title in 4x400 meter relay

Four young Lady Wolverines won the state title in the 4x400 meter relay at the 2A State Track & Field Championships held at North Carolina A&T University in Greensboro, N.C., Saturday, May 21.

Juniors Rebecca Elliott and Mary Kate Christiansen, sopho-more Maggie Phipps and fresh-man Autumn Miller dominated the race, finishing more than four seconds faster than the rest of the field.

Christiansen led off and came through the first exchange in the lead, Miller took the baton and opened it up, followed by Phipps, who stretched the lead even more, and the anchor Elliott cruised it home. The team’s time was 4:06, setting a new school record.

“They truly deserved to win this honor,” Wolfe said. “We were second last year by a second and

that has worn on them all year. They wanted to win. With remark-able dedication all season, these girls suffered through some really tough workouts. When other guys and girls were quitting they never did. This is one of the highest hon-ors for prep athletes – once you are a state champion you are forever a state champion.”

Elliott also placed third in the state in the 800 meter open with a time of 2.22, and Savanna Mitchell placed second in the pole vault at 9’-0”. Markece Cunningham, Polk’s only male qualifier, fin-ished ninth in mens shot put at 44’-9.25”.

Volunteer fire departments from across the county manned a motor-cade, with sirens, flashing lights and cheering crowds to pave the team’s arrival home around 11 p.m.

Welcome to the

Hanukkah & Kwanzaa

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight can-dles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews. When the Jews would not worship the pagans, Epiphanes raided and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. After seven years of fight-ing, Maccabee regained control, and the Temple was restored. The famous story states that only a small vial of oil was found to light the eternal lamps, yet they were blessed and burned for eight days, giving the Jewish people enough time to acquire more oil for the lamps. The symbolic lighting of the menorah occurs at sundown for the eight days during Hanukkah. Children also trade gifts and play with games and toys, such as a driedel. Special foods, such as fried potato cakes and fried donuts, are served during Hanukkah. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Professor Maulana Karenga, a Black Studies professor from California State University in Long Beach, California. Kwanzaa is a celebration of the African family and culture. It begins on December 26 and ends on January 1. The name Kwan-zaa comes from the Swahili term which means “first fruits of harvest.” Much like the menorah of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa has seven symbolic candles lit each night symbolizing aspects of the culture. Each night, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa-- unity, self-determination, col-lective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith--is discussed. Kwanzaa is also represented by seven symbols--crops, a mat, a candleholder, the seven candles, ears of corn, gifts, and the Kikome Chad Umoja (The Unity Cup).

honoring the fallen Memorial Day occurs every year in the United States on the last Monday in May. This holi-day is set aside to remember all U.S. soldiers who died in service to our Country in any war or conflict. After the American Civil War, many cities around the United States began setting aside days of observance for their veterans who died in battle. These days were largely cel-ebrated by decorating the graves of soldiers; as a result, it was originally called Decoration Day. Although the exact origins of Memorial Day are unknown, it is believed that the first true celebration of the holiday occurred in Waterloo, New York, in 1866. In 1868, General John A. Logan declared the holiday to be a time to give tribute to fallen comrades. The original Decoration Day was only meant to be a tribute to Civil War veterans, but after the end of WWII, the holiday was modified to commemorate the lost lives of all American soldiers in all wars. The holiday was widely celebrated after this time, and in 1971, Congress declared that the Memorial Day Holiday would be celebrated the last Monday of every May. Memorial Day is a federally observed holiday. All U.S. Government offices and public schools are closed on this day, although a few businesses still remain open. Many vacations are taken during this holiday, because of the three-day weekend and the association it has with the beginning of the summer season. Many outdoor events are held, including fireworks displays, picnics, Memorial Day services, and sporting events, e.g., the Indianapolis 500. Traditionally, the U.S. flag is flown at half-staff until noon on this holiday.

honoring the fallen Memorial Day occurs every year in the United States on the last Monday in May. This holi-day is set aside to remember all U.S. soldiers who died in service to our Country in any war or conflict. After the American Civil War, many cities around the United States began setting aside days of observance for their veterans who died in battle. These days were largely cel-ebrated by decorating the graves of soldiers; as a result, it was originally called Decoration Day. Although the exact origins of Memorial Day are unknown, it is believed that the first true celebration of the holiday occurred in Waterloo, New York, in 1866. In 1868, General John A. Logan declared the holiday to be a time to give tribute to fallen comrades. The original Decoration Day was only meant to be a tribute to Civil War veterans, but after the end of WWII, the holiday was modified to commemorate the lost lives of all American soldiers in all wars. The holiday was widely celebrated after this time, and in 1971, Congress declared that the Memorial Day Holiday would be celebrated the last Monday of every May. Memorial Day is a federally observed holiday. All U.S. Government offices and public schools are closed on this day, although a few businesses still remain open. Many vacations are taken during this holiday, because of the three-day weekend and the association it has with the beginning of the summer season. Many outdoor events are held, including fireworks displays, picnics, Memorial Day services, and sporting events, e.g., the Indianapolis 500. Traditionally, the U.S. flag is flown at half-staff until noon on this holiday.

Pisgah eliminates Polk baseball in second round of playoffs by Daniel Hecht

Traveling to Canton on Wednesday, May 19 for round two of the 2A baseball playoffs, Polk County head coach Ty Stott’s team was quietly confident.

Despite having never com-peted against Pisgah High School, the Wolverines, who finished the regular season 18-4, sported a far better record than the 14-9 Black Bears. The team appeared to match up favorably against their opponents in almost every statistical category.

Then again, as the number one seed in the Western N.C. Athletic Conference, Pisgah had the advantage of playing in front of a large and very partisan home crowd at Canton’s Charles Wells Sports Complex.

Late in the game, just six outs away from elimination, the Black Bears rode that hometown magic to a six-run rally, coming from two runs behind to upset the Wolverines by a final score of 7-3.

Polk County was in the driver’s seat for most of the contest. Start-er Roberto Taft held the Black Bears to just two hits through the first five innings, striking out six while allowing just one unearned run. Meanwhile, Pisgah hurler Caleb Leatherwood got off to a shaky start, allowing two runs in the first and another in the third as the Wolverines jumped out to an early 3-0 advantage.

Andre Overholt led Polk offen-sively. He went 4-4, while setting a new school record for number of hits in a season with 38, besting the previous mark set almost 20 years ago.

“It’s been a good season,” said Stott. “Our seniors have won 73 games, which is the most by any senior class, the most wins in any four-year period in the history of Polk County. We’ve won a mini-mum of 18 games every year for

four years in a row, and we’ve still got our perfect 12-0 home playoff record, which is important to us.”

With the win, Pisgah advances to the district round to take on East Rutherford, last year’s 2A champs.

Joel Booker contributed a 2-4 outing to the effort as well. How-ever, despite golden opportunities to add insurance runs in the fourth and sixth innings, the Wolverines failed to cross home plate again, as Polk stranded 11 base runners on the night.

The momentum shift in the bottom of the sixth was unmistak-able as the first three Black Bears reached base safely, whipping the hometown crowd into a frenzied lather.

With his starter out of gas, Stott tapped Alec Philpott to re-lieve Taft, but Pisgah would not be denied as they continued their offensive onslaught, sending 10 batters to the plate, scoring six runs on five hits and ushering the Wolverines to an early playoff exit.

The second round loss was a bitter ending to an otherwise standout year for the Wolverines.

Letter to the Editor

CETA officials and residents of Green Creek meet

To the Editor: On Sunday, May 15, many

interested Green Creek resi-d e n t s a n d s e v e r a l C E TA (Collinsville Equestrian Trail Association) board of direc-tors came together to discuss the possibility of joining the trails of Green Creek with CETA.

It was a positive meeting and there was a great deal of enthusiasm. The overall feel-ing was that now is the time to move forward to make the trails a reality. It would be a boost to the community to have a linked trail system.

An organized trail system offers many benefits for the residents of Green Creek. One benefit is the protection of our rural setting.

The success of CETA and FETA shows that trail ease-ments discourage land de-velopment and subdivisions. It encourages people with a similar interest to purchase the property, therefore insur-ing the rural l ifestyle that most of us desire.

Trails are our beachfront property. They create imme-diate value for the property owner. They also allow us to share our land with one another for a purpose that enhances a sense of commu-nity. It remains your land to take care of and to use as you normally would, but opens it to others to pass through and enjoy.

A CETA director pointed out a common misconception that some hold about trail easements on the i r p rop -erty, “that there will be a big influx of others moving through your land on a day to day basis . In actual i ty, one rarely notices that rid-

ers are moving through their property.”

Another CETA direc tor pointed out the benefits to the non horse person. “A big reason for non-riding com-munity members to provide easements and support the trails is that the horse indus-try in Polk County supports and enhances the pastoral life style that we all love here. Withou t t he t r a i l s , many horse people would not want to be here. Without horses here, many, many local busi-nesses could not survive . We would have to depend on Walmart and other big box stores. Also, those agricul-tural lands, i.e., pastures, that look so beautiful would be turned to other agricultural ventures, like hog farms and chicken houses. It’s in ev-eryone’s best interest to help support horses.”

CETA has said it will wel-come Green Creek into their trail system if we can bring

our trails to theirs. We must find a connection to an exist-ing CETA property. There are many possibilities.

We need property own-ers, horse owners and non, to work together. Let’s make Green Creek a horse friendly community. Let’s work to-gether to join our trail sys-tem.

In the coming months , when your neighbors knock on your door, please open it. Let us, who are commit-ted to the trails and the rural lifestyle, talk with you.

If you would like to learn more and be i nc luded i n future Green Creek resident meetings, please call Marion Woodbury 828-817-3591 or Nancy Owens Willms 863-4517. For additional infor-mat ion on the CETA tra i l system, please go to their website at: www.cetatrails.com.

Remember Whenby Garland Goodwin

Editor’s note: The last two paragraphs of Mr. Goodwin’s column were inadvertently cut off when it ran in the Friday, May 20 edition of the Bulletin. The article runs in its entirety here.

The continuing saga of the quest to use the Saluda Grade rail right of way has been of interest to me for sev-eral reasons.

My grand-father, L. C. Goodwin, was a n e n g i n e e r who operated a steam locomotive to haul freight trains out of Durham. My father became a brakeman, did not like that work, but retained an abiding interest in trains.

Daddy used to take me up to Melrose where a “helper” engine was always waiting to push the next train up the grade. He would take me by the hand and lead me right up to the engine!

I was a wee lad and fearful of those big fire-breathing dragons. I could see the flames licking around in the firebox from my low vantage point, and there were all sorts of weird and wonderful sounds coming from the beast as it waited with steam up.

We would chat with the en-gineer until a train chugged up from Tryon, watch the helper get behind it and then huff and puff mightily as both locomotives took the train on up the steep incline to Saluda.

Then daddy would show me that the switch of the rails was always set for the safety track.

The yardman would switch it to the main line for a descending train only if the engineer had his train under control. If it were go-ing too fast, it was sent up a very steep inclined track to dissipate its energy.

Over the years, several trains went off the end of the safety track

and p lunged into a ravine. In one case the fireman jumped clear but the en-gineer died in the wreckage.

That engineer was part of the late Louise Averill Thompson’s family, so it became personal to me because she was my friend.

When the diesel engines re-placed steam locomotives, four units could pull trains up the grade without additional help. I understand also that the engineer descending the mountain could then throw the switch to the main line from his cab. On visits to Pearson’s Falls I have heard the earth-shattering squeal of the brakes as a long freight was being eased down the grade at maybe 10 miles an hour.

A train leaving Asheville for Spartanburg would be inspected 100 percent before departure. Then at Saluda it got another complete inspection, and might be split into two sections if very long. The trainmen all had great respect for the Saluda Grade! I think the rails have been “banked” mainly because the “short” route down the mountain actually takes longer because of

Let’s talk of the Saluda Gradethe extensive precautions neces-sary for safety.

When the rails were first cut and the talk of running an excur-sion train on the grade began, I mentioned all of this to some of those enthusiasts, but I think they did not want to hear my words. I believe it would be difficult to find people to operate even a single self-powered coach on that mountain, let alone a pas-senger train!

With the change from train to trail, the matter of use of the right-of-way has come into play. Ownership of land is an interest-ing concept in itself. I understand the Native Americans (Indians? No, this is not India! And since I was born here, I feel that I am a Native American, too. Why not?) felt the Great Spirit owned the land and they all shared in its benefits.

As a child growing up here, I thought the mountains belonged to everybody. When I asked Uncle Ethan (Rippy) about the big white square visible even in summer on White Oak Moun-tain, he said that it was the huge Skyuka Hotel.

Naturally, I wanted to see it, so my mother packed lunches for us and my brother Bill and I set out with Uncle Ethan to climb the mountain.

From Rippy Hill we went out Skyuka Road to the foot of the mountain, then climbed straight up to the big white building. We crossed over to Sunset Rock, then up to the fire tower on Tryon Peak, down to Rix Haven, then straight

down the mountain to intercept Howard Gap road near “Red” Newman’s house. The road forked at Uncle Pete Gaines’ mother’s house (Old Howard Gap Road) and took us back to Lynn at the Pacolet River bridge. Since there was no way to get “lost,” Bill and I did that hike many times on our own.

There were well-marked bridle trails all over the area, including the mountains. Riding and hiking on the mountain was a cherished activity enjoyed by all able-bodied folks back then. We drank water from the streams and waterfalls. No one ever got robbed or killed that I heard of. There were indeed some places that we “knew” not to go because moonshiners were active there and did not welcome “visitors.” Maybe that’s why the bridle trails were well marked.

It is a different world today. There are houses all over the mountains now, not to mention the communications towers. If you get off the road now, you are in somebody’s yard.

Bad people have killed hik-ers in the National Parks; some folks leave a trail of their trash wherever they go.

There are good reasons for people to want to live in, or en-joy, the “wilderness,” and good reasons why “visitors” may not be welcome or safe there.

The idea of property probably came about for similar reasons. Owning property is a product of civilization, and civilization is supposed to be a good thing. But is one man’s civilization another’s trespass?

So much is written about Al-zheimer’s, and many of us see it personally with aging parents or loved ones.

But is forgetfulness always an early symptom of Alzheimer’s disease?

No. Forgetfulness is a symp-tom of Alzheimer’s, but there are many other problems that c a n l e a d t o memory loss that aren’t related to Alzheimer’s dis-ease. Here are some of the non-Alzheimer’s causes of memory loss that you may wish to consider if you’re showing signs of forgetfulness:

Chronic stress – Daily ten-sion and anxiety about bills, work issues, relationship problems and family disputes, if not resolved, can become chronic stress and over time create problems with the brain’s ability to retain and recall new information.

Other causes include lack of, or interrupted sleep. Lack of sleep puts stress on the brain and that can manifest as memory loss.

Depression – Depression that lasts more than two weeks actu-ally begins to impact the chem-istry in the brain. Low levels of serotonin in the brain impair concentration and focus and that in turn can impact memory.

Focusing on sad events like the loss of a loved one for more than a few weeks is often a sign of clinical depression and may include signs of short-term memory loss.

Medicines – Drugs are won-ders of science that can eliminate pain, cure illness and improve the quality of our lives. But they can also impact our brains and our ability to remember.

Drug interaction and side effects can occur among older patients who take multiple pre-scriptions. If there’s been a new medicine added or a change to your dosage and you begin hav-

ing symptoms of memory loss or other problems, tell your doctor.

Some medicines have known side effects that include memory loss. These medicines include some (not all) cholesterol statins, sleeping pills and sedatives, anti-anxiety drugs and medicines prescribed for incontinence. Read

the information on every drug you receive and pay particular at-tention to the list of known side effects.

Even the most benign vita-min may have an effect on the workings of other more potent medicines and the side effects can be difficult to trace back to the actual cause.

Thyroid gland problems - The thyroid gland regulates the body’s metabolism. Too little and the body, including the brain, runs slower than normal. This can result in cognitive problems as well as fatigue, weight gain, lethargy, dry hair or skin, a loss of interest in sex, increased sensitiv-ity to cold and muscle cramps.

Menopause - As estrogen levels change, those changes can interfere with other chemi-cals in the woman’s brain. Hot flashes, usually associated with menopause, as well as multi-tasking can increase the level of a woman’s distractions. This adds to forgetfulness because informa-tion is not attended to, and there-fore never stored. Depression can also be one of the symptoms that accompanies menopause and therefore play a role in creating memory problems.

Excessive use of alcohol - In addition to damaging the liver and kidneys, heavy drinking can impair brain function. If the brain’s frontal lobe, which han-dles higher intellectual functions including memory, is involved, memory loss can occur. Long-term excessive drinking can cause a form of alcohol-induced

dementia. Combining alcohol with cer-

tain drugs can also be toxic to the brain. As we age our body’s ability to metabolize alcohol is reduced, and alcohol’s impact on the brain can be significant.

Head injuries - The brain, even though the skull protects it, can be quite vulnerable to injury.

A simple blow to the head, a concussion, whether caused by a fall or an object hitting the head, can immediately cause mental confusion or loss of memory. Cognitive loss from Alzheimer’s disease tends to develop at a much slower rate, over years.

Normal aging - Lapses in memory are normal and do not always signify something is wrong. Our brains actually start to decline as we age, as early as age 30.

Our inability to recall a name or specific memory is often due to a combination of our brain’s data-base overload and a slowing or the brain’s inability to retrieve infor-mation as quickly as it once did. Dementias, such as Alzheimer’s, are not a normal part of aging. And the number one cause for Alzheimer’s is aging.

In fact, according to the Al-zheimer’s Association, the like-lihood of developing it doubles every five years after age 65, and about one in two people over 85 have it.The best way to determine if your memory loss concerns are due to physical or neurological causes is to see a neurologist. Proper testing and diagnosis helps determine the cause of memory loss and the most appropriate treatment.

Dr. Lynne Parsons will lead an informal talk on panic attacks and panic disorder on Thursday, June 2 from 7 – 9 p.m. at Isother-mal Community College’s Polk campus. Parsons will also teach a simple breathing technique to help stop panic attacks.

Ten million people in the United States have a panic at-tack sometime during their life. Besides being scary, they can dis-rupt your daily life, lead to avoid-ance behavior and depression and leave you feeling helpless. Panic attacks can occur in anyone.

Dr. Parsons, M.S.N., Psy.D., a clinical psychologist, has worked for 20 years educating medi-cal residents and accumulating experience in working with people with panic disorder. She is currently on the faculty of Hendersonville Family Practice Residency Program and has a private practice in Mill Spring.

There’s a new tradition in the making designed to improve the lives of local equine friends and their owners.

On the first Monday of each month, farriers and veterinarians are gathering to evaluate two horse “cases,” radiographing and shoeing them in a cooperative, learning environment.

The first of these “Farrier Jam Sessions” was held on Monday, May 2 at the farm of Ron and Bibi Freer, DVM, with 16 farriers, five veterinarians, three owners and two horses in attendance.

“We’re hoping that this group will grow and that these gather-ings will become another ex-ample of our amazing equestrian community,” Dr. Freer said.

Each case began with a brief history. Horse 1 was recovering from surgery, so no gait evalu-ation was done and decisions were based solely on the horse’s radiographs.

Following the discussion, a plan was developed and the horse was later shod by participating farriers in accordance with the radiographs and the surgeon’s requests.

Horse 2 was jogged, flexed, blocked and radiographed. There were discussions on the radio-graphic findings, including di-agnoses and angles. The horse was then shod by his primary

Local farrier jam sessions continue

farrier with the help of some of the participants.

In both cases, the horses were radiographed again after shoeing to evaluate balance, confirm that the angles were improved and the desired “break-over point” was achieved.

Farrier Jam Session cases must be referred by a farrier; horses owners interested in hav-ing their horse participate should consult with their farrier.

Owners of participating hors-es are charged a flat fee, which covers the farrier’s materials and contributes to a fund for hiring clinicians/hosting continuing education for the group.

Farriers or veterinarians inter-ested in the events can email [email protected] or search in Google Groups for “Farrier Jam Sessions.”
