Columbus studies drainage issuesby Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus now has a study of storm water drainage issues throughout the downtown area.

Columbus Town Council met Thurs-day, June 16 and reviewed the study, which was completed recently with grant funding.

Billy Lee and Alwyn Smith, with Withers & Ravenel, met with council

and detailed the town’s problem areas.Columbus applied for funding for the

study in 2008 with the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF). The town was approved for $50,000 of funding in 2009, but the state funding was suspended in 2010. The funding was released this year, with the town’s

Polk school lunch prices to be higher in 2011-2012by Samantha Hurst

Per a federal mandate, Polk County Board of Education members voted to increase lunch prices next year.

Superintendent Bill Miller said boards across the country are now faced with hiking lunch prices to equalize the variance between what the school charges for lunch and what the govern-ment reimburses across the board for students on the free lunch program.

“What the feds are saying is, ‘You have to address this,’” Miller said. “Every year we’re going to have to come back and look at this [our lunch prices]. We’re going to be on this train until someone decides this [our pricing] is back in line.”

The minimum amount boards could increase prices by was $.05, while the maximum they could increase prices by was $.10.

Polk County BOE members chose to increase the cost of lunch for preK-fifth grade stu-dents from $2 to $2.10. Students in sixth-12th grade will see only a 5-cent increase. Those students paid $2.25 last year, but will pay $2.30 beginning in August.

“We’re trying to close a wider gap in K-5 prices than in

sixth-12th,” said board chairman Geoffrey Tennant.

Lunch prices for elementary-aged students will increase by a larger margin because the disparity from the national aver-age is greater than the disparity at the middle and high school levels.

The federal lunch reimburse-ment program currently refunds Polk County $2.74 per day per student eligible for the program. This means the local system receives 46 cents more than the national average for preK-fifth grade students and 21 cents more for sixth-12th grade students. Polk County receives more because of the number of students in the area that qualify.

Miller said he has heard claims the federal government could require systems to fully close the gap within three years. He said this could be difficult with a variable like inflation – higher gas prices, food costs, etc. – affecting school lunch prices.

One benefit to the local school system is a small increase in revenue from lunches. Polk County schools sold 68,100 lunches last year to students not on the free or reduced lunch programs. Adding 10 cents to all those lunches would have netted the school $6,810 on the year.

School lunch prices 2010-2011 Disparity 2011-2012 Disparity

preK-5th $2.00 $0.46 $2.10 $0.366th-12th $2.25 $0.21 $2.30 $0.16Note: Disparity amount is the difference between Polk’s prices

and the amount reimbursed by the federal government

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

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

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

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

tography. Now we can literally shoot for the stars.

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

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

mapped the town’s storm water system and looked at oppor-tunities to make water quality improvements. The town plans to use the study to apply for more grant funding in the future to make improvements to the system.

Withers & Ravenel com-pleted a geographic information system (GIS) map of the town’s system and then looked at the performance of the system to determine where water is back-ing up and how those problem areas can be fixed.

Some problem areas include erosion issues at the N.C. De-partment of Transportation site, just above White Oak Creek, the engineers said. They noted that ditches in the area are un-dersized for the amount of flow

they are getting.“Currently, most of the

runoff is generated from the highly impervious downtown area,” states the results section of the study. “This runoff is routed directly to storm drains t o c o n t r o l flooding, but creates erosive flows during storms. There is evidence of scour in drain-age d i t ches t h r o u g h o u t the area, but it is most pro-nounced in the main drainage ditch that conveys stormwater from downtown into White Oak Creek. The high degree of impervious surface area in downtown, coupled with steep slopes and a lack of detention, creates a situation where even

small storms create high storm-water flows conveyed at erosive velocities.

“Establishing rain gardens and detaining devices to cap-ture and slow down runoff in

downtown is probably the lowest cos t method to im-prove flooding and erosion concerns. The conventional, more expen-sive approach would be to dig up and re-place storm-water pipes and ditches.”

Locations that were identi-fied where light landscaping could be added to slow down drainage and decrease erosion were the courthouse lawn, the veteran’s park area, in front of the post office and behind the

parking lot of the post office. Lee and Smith also said the

town’s sewer easement through the town could be converted to a trench, but that would be expensive.

Areas around the post office were identified as good areas for rain gardens.

Smith said other ways to reduce storm water include limit-ing or reducing impervious sur-face areas, using cisterns and rain barrels at downspouts to slow water down, to encourage the creation of rain gardens and to retrofit roadside ditches with low impact development methods.

Smith said Columbus next needs to identify the two sites it is most interested in investi-gating for drainage improve-ment possibilities. Withers & Ravenel will prepare a detailed investigation, report the find-ings and pursue other grant funding to pay for the drainage improvements.

next step.The Polk County Board of

Commissioners met Monday, June 20 and approved a resolu-tion in favor of keeping the Mill Spring Post Office a full-service facility.

The petition was presented to commissioners during the meeting, and a few residents spoke about the issue.

Commissioner Renée Mc-Dermott said she brought up the item at an earlier meeting held in Saluda after hearing from citizens who are very concerned about the future of the Mill Spring Post Office.

Judy Arledge said Mill

Spring area residents want to keep their post office full ser-vice. She said the rural carriers’ routine was changed recently to have them pick up their mail in Columbus. According to Arledge, 1,629 deliveries are made daily and carriers drive 230 miles in making those drops.

The Mill Spring Post Office serves the areas of Mill Spring, Sunny View/Coopers Gap, Pea Ridge and White Oak. It was established in 1871.

The county’s resolution and resident petition will be sent to senators, Congress, the postmaster general and the governor, among other state and federal officials (see full resolution below).

Polk County resolution on Mill Spring Post Office

Editor’s note: The following is a resolution the Polk County Board of Commissioners approved during a June 20 in support of the Mill Spring Post Office remaining a full-service postal facility.

WHEREAS, the Mill Spring Post Office was established as a full-service postal facility in 1871 serving the communities of Coopers Gap, Mill Spring, Pea Ridge and White Oak; and

WHEREAS, the Mill Spring Post Office is a vital component of these communities; and

WHEREAS, all three Mill Spring postal carriers have recently been shifted to the Columbus Post Office; and

WHEREAS, growth is expected to continue in these com-munities; and

WHEREAS, the loss of this facility as a full-service post office would negatively impact the communities it serves; and

WHEREAS, a citizens’ petition is on file in the county man-ager’s office in support of the Mill Spring Post Office.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Polk County Board of Commissioners supports the Mill Spring Post Office and desires for it to remain a full-service postal facility.

A bridge is a structure that spans physical obstacles.

according to the 2006 Bridge inventory issued by "Better Roads,” there are almost 600,000 bridges in the united States, and 123 in Polk County.

Some are new, like the new bridge on Pearson Falls Road near Saluda, and some are old like Campbell's Covered Bridge built in 1909 in Greenville County. Various reports suggest that a

substantial number of bridges in our country may be in need of repair, 11 percent in Polk County alone. as significant as this problem is, it pales in contrast to the bridges we need to build in our lives.

We live in a divided world. many families experience

painful differences that lead to conflicts and tension. nations, cultures and races are divided by wide chasms. Languages, politics and religion drive wedges between us.

Building bridges of understanding

There are approximately two billion Christians across the world; yet, even those who share the same faith are divided, sometimes fiercely, by their different beliefs and practices. Even praying with those who have a different view of faith can be difficult. these divisions and differences can be found everywhere, even here in our own community.

one of the great challenges and opportunities for people of faith today is to learn how to build bridges of understanding across differences. It all starts with listening.

It’s no accident that the word for listen is found over four hundred times in the Bible. When we disagree with someone, often we listen in order to argue with them. Building

bridges requires a different kind of listening, listening in order to understand. I once heard Stephen Covey, author of Seven habits of highly Effective People, say at a conference: “if you and i disagree, i must have missed something. help me understand what you are saying.”

to listen, of course, we have to stop talking.

Listening requires a certain kind of openness, and a commitment to learn something we may not already know. Jesus said it in matthew 15:10: “Listen and understand.”

understanding does not necessarily mean agreement, but it often leads to more constructive outcomes. Listening matters, because it is the beginning of every other possibility. it is no

accident that the saints of old have consistently said that learning to listen is the foundation of prayer, indeed the foundation of faith itself.

Whether in our own families, or our community, or our world, we need to learn how to build and re-build the bridges of our lives. Building bridges of any kind is hard work.

it takes time. it takes care and perseverance, and a lot of faith. Building bridges of understanding requires listening. a major emphasis in Jesus’ ministry was building bridges across differences.

maybe that’s one reason why Jesus admonished his followers more than once, “Let anyone with ears to hear listen!” (mark 4:23). it’s a good word for all of us, whatever our family situation, our politics or our faith.

Stanfield wins Tryon Youth Center scholarship

Donald “Chandler” Stanfield, son of Ricky and Kim Searcy, has been awarded the Tryon Youth Center/Henson’s Inc. Scholar-ship.

The Tryon Youth Center Scholarships are $1,000 and are awarded in increments of $500 each semester of the student’s freshman year of college.

While a student at Polk Coun-ty High School, Chandler kept busy with his studies, working part time and volunteering with his community and church.

Chandler has been accepted to Isothermal Community College and Blue Ridge Technical Col-lege. He will pursue degrees in finance and physical education, with plans to spend his career as a coach and financial planner. In his application essay, Chandler stated, “The challenges (losing both par-ents within two years) that I have faced in the last three years have taught me to never give up and to press towards the finish line.”

Tryon Youth Center and Hen-son’s Inc. officials said they wish success for Chandler in his college career and in attaining his life goals.

The McFarland Funeral Home celebrates 100 years of service to the community this year. Darlene McFarland and Keen McFarland presented a program to the Polk County Historical Association on June 7 reviewing the funeral home’s history.

Top right: Darlene McFarland talks about the embalming table, called the “cooling board,” which was the table bodies were once placed on for the embalming procedure. The board was taken to people’s homes where the bodies were embalmed. McFarland’s placed blocks of ice underneath the table to keep the body cool and a net over the table to keep insects off the bodies. Holes were drilled in the board. The table will be temporarily displayed at the Polk County Museum located in Columbus.

Right: Darlene McFarland holds up the McFarland Funeral Home logo as she explains how they used to put the McFarland logo or an ambulance logo on the hearse, depending on what call they were making when the funeral home did ambulance service as well.

Below: Attendees at the recent Polk County Historical Association meeting look at a display of historical embalming equipment McFarland’s used.

Tryon Riding and Hunt Club supports Outreach Ministry

Thermal Belt Outreach Min-istry received a generous gift of $1,500 when their paired riding team, Motlow Creek Eques-trian Center, won the recent Ariat Charity Jumper Challenge at the 83rd annual Tryon Riding and Hunt Club Charity Horse Show at FENCE.

The Motlow team, with riders Tommy Frick aboard Motlow Creek’s Lanzelot, and Lincoln Russell, riding Motlow Creek’s Pangloss, won with no jump-ing faults and a time of 60.539 seconds.

The idea of a Charity Jumper Challenge, pairing local riding teams with area non-profits, orig-inated with TR&HC chairpersons and local equestrians, Linda Ketchem and Jennifer Smith.

With the generous help of Noreen Cothran, co-owner of The Farm House (along with Mark Lehner and Nancy Bu-

chner), the Ariat International event sponsorship was secured, in partnership with The Farm House. The TR&HC Charity Team Relay awarded $5,000 in prize money to eight charities randomly selected from submit-ted applications.

Carol Newton, executive di-rector at Outreach, said, “We are thrilled to accept this gift and would like to thank our team rid-ers, Lincoln Russell and Tommy Frick, for their winning ride. We are also grateful to TR&HC, to-gether with Linda and Jennifer. This gift will allow us to provide food and services to families in our community in desperate need of assistance. Our heartfelt grati-tude from all of us at Outreach Ministry!”

Ariat and The Farm House were sponsors of the event.

Polk library wins Summertime Kids grant for summer programs for disadvantaged children

Grants through the Sum-mertime Kids program at The Community Foundation have enabled 31 nonprofit organiza-tions, including Polk County Public Library, to provide experiences for hundreds of disadvantaged children this summer.

A total of $54,612 in grants has been awarded to 31 non-profit organizations or public agencies that serve less for-tunate children living in the 18-county mountain region. Specifically, the program tar-gets low-income children, children living in remote or rural areas, children with dis-abilities or children who have suffered from neglect or abuse.

The funding decisions were made with the assistance of young advisors, ages 13 to 17, who worked with The Com-munity Foundation staff to

learn about making effective grants. The teens read and evaluated grant proposals and made funding recommenda-tions.

“We are truly fortunate to live in a region that offers so many wonderful opportunities for children in the summer months. Through the Sum-mertime Kids program and with the support of our donors, the foundation is able to help nonprofits provide experi-ences to children who might not otherwise garden, hike, swim and dream big,” said Elizabeth Brazas, president of The Community Foundation. “From camps promoting lit-eracy and diversity to scholar-ships for homeless students in Henderson County, the Sum-mertime Kids program helps more children experience new adventures and look forward

to summer.”Since 1995, The Com-

munity Foundation has dis-tributed more than $500,000 through Summertime Kids, and touched the lives of 20,500 children – 1,400 children last year alone.

The Community Founda-tion of Western North Carolina promotes and expands regional philanthropy and develops funds that address changing needs and opportunities in the 18 counties of Western North Carolina. CFWNC has award-ed more than $100 million in grants to nonprofit organiza-tions and public institutions since 1978.

Visit www.cfwnc.org to learn how the foundation helps donors, nonprofits and com-munities in the region.

Two Polk County students attend Institute for Future Agricultural Leaders

Left to right: Dr. Jim Flowers, NCSU Agricultural Education; Dr. Johnny Wynne, dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences; Natalie Hilbig and Alexandra Stott; Mr. Larry Wooten, president, North Carolina Farm Bureau Federation.

Natalie Hilbig and Alexandra Stott represented Polk County at the Institute for Future Agricul-tural Leaders at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, N.C. The North Carolina Farm Bu-reau Federation sponsored the event.

Candidates for this leadership activity must pass a rigorous application process in order to be selected as a member of the institute.

The week-long institute is held on the campus of N.C. State

University. Participants tour the facilities in the College of Ag-riculture and Life Sciences and meet with students and faculty to discuss current issues in the food, fiber and natural resources industries.

Each day ends with special leadership development ses-sions that focuses on effective communication, personal and professional goal setting, service learning and career planning.

“The institute draws out those leadership qualities in our young

people, in order to help them be successful in their role as future leaders. We believe these students are destined to become great leaders in their communi-ties and the agriculture industry” said Caroline Sheffield, student director of the institute.

Members of the institute visited with government leaders in the North Carolina General Assembly and Gov. Beverly Per-due’s office during the week.

Tryon UMC seeks winter coats for childrenTryon United Methodist Church

is collecting new or slightly used winter coats for school-age chil-dren, and they’re excited about what can be accomplished if their Polk County neighbors join the ef-fort. A container has been placed in the church’s covered “parking lot entrance” where winter garments can be donated around the clock.

Why start this new ministry in the heat of the summer? Bob Bai-ley, one of the church’s lay lead-ers, said while this is a year-round

ministry, church members hope to have some of the coats ready by August to g i v e t o t h e children before school starts.

“If dry-clean-ing or repairs are needed,” Bailey said, “we’ll get it done. If folks can’t drop the coats off at the church, we’ll pick them up. We can do so much more if

others join us in trying to make our community a little warmer for those in need.”

For more in-formation, call 828-859-9218. The church is located at 195

New Market Road, near the Pine Crest Inn.
