Polk DSS opening pushed to next monthContract up today; fines of $300 per day could beginby Leah Justice

The Polk County Department of Social Services (DSS) will have to wait a little longer before it can begin working out of its

new building, and the contractor could be responsible for hefty fines starting today, Nov. 14, if a certificate of occupancy is not granted.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson announced during the commissioner meeting on Mon-day, Nov. 7 that the move-in date has been pushed to Dec. 12,

which is almost a month later than scheduled.

Whitson said the heating and cooling controls are not correct in the new building, nor is the soffit installed yet.

The contract for the project ends today and if a certificate

New House of Flags Museum opens its doors by Samantha Hurst

Patriotism now lives inside the walls of a building that once housed the Columbus Town Hall and Columbus Fire Department.

Just behind the Polk County Courthouse the House of Flags

opened its doors to a new mu-seum Friday, Nov. 11.

HOF Chair Robert William-son credited the museum’s found-er, George Scofield, for the day taking place, although, sadly, Scofield passed away three years

ago this month. “When I met George Scofield

eight or nine years ago, he got me more excited about flags than I’ve ever been excited about

anything,” Williamson told a crowd of more than 200 people gathered outside the museum’s new location Friday. “If it wasn’t for the vision of George, this museum wouldn’t be possible.”

Scofield’s widow, Jeane Helms-Scofield, attended the ceremony and with the help of Shirley Axtell, widow of veteran George Axtell, cut the ribbon on the new building.

“[George] was a tough guy, but he would have been in tears over this day,” Helms-Scofield said. “I think had it been me I would have given up, but he wouldn’t let any roadblocks get in his way of mak-ing this happen.”

Scofield was a World War II veteran – entering the Merchant Marines when he was 19 and spending several years in service. In 2000, Scofield attended a July 4 parade and noticed that few if any attendees took notice when the American flag passed by. They didn’t quiet their conversations,

they didn’t take off their hats and they certainly didn’t show respect in the way Scofield felt they should, his son Glenn Scofield said.

Glenn Scofield and his wife, Teresa, traveled from Colorado to take part in the ceremony. Glenn agreed that his father would have been overwhelmed by the event.

“This day would have meant a tremendous amount to him,” Glenn Scofield said. “He put his life on the line for his country and truly re-spected others who did the same.”

But Glenn Scofield said his father was concerned citizens didn’t respect the flag in the man-ner they should. He said after 9/11 his father conjured up the idea of a larger, more accessible museum. His hope was to bring patriotism to the people.

“When the ceremony started I immediately thought, “Here comes the flag – I need to stand up and take my hat off,” Glenn Scofield said. “That type of respect is what he [George Scofield] was about.

His idea behind this was to unify people in that way again and teach youth especially about the impor-tance of patriotism.”

T h e b o a r d members of the House of Flags Museum share Scofield’s love of country and the symbol ic tribute flags play in regards to the nation’s history. All of them spent years alongside Scofield work-ing to make the museum a reality in Green Creek. Then they all stayed the course to ensure Scofield’s dream of a larger, more prominently located museum came to fruition.

“After so much work it’s tre-mendous the outpouring of sup-port,” said board member Frank

Ortiz. “Just imagine, for a person to walk up and see this – it’s America, it’s how America was all formed.”

The House of Flags museum will be open for its first full day Saturday, Nov. 12 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Its hours from now on

will be Satur-days 10 a.m. – 4p.m., Tuesdays 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. and Thursday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. T h e s e h o u r s mimic those of the Polk County Historical Mu-seum two blocks away so that visitors might hit both in one trip, Williamson

said. “It’s a blessing to see this thing

happen,” Williamson said. “There have been days and weeks and months and years of hard work poured into this, but today’s the day we finally get to see it all come together.”

of occupancy is not granted today, Able Contractors will be assessed liquidated damages at a rate of $300 per day for every day the building is not move-in ready.

“I’m not positive they won’t meet the deadline but if they don’t there will be liquidated damages of $300,” Whitson said.

Whitson said the heating and cooling systems work, but the controls are not the ones ordered. The work on the soffit, or eaves underneath the roof, had to be stopped recently be-cause there was no insulation, so contractors will have to spray in insulation prior to receiving a certificate of occupancy. As of late last week, the work had not been completed.

The Polk County Build-ing Inspector will determine whether to grant the certificate of occupancy.

The previous moving date

was Nov. 18 and prior to that the county had hoped the build-ing would be ready by the end of October.

Whitson said he is being conservative by pushing the date back almost a month due to allowing for the Thanksgiving holiday and the county’s em-ployee Christmas party, which is scheduled for Dec. 9.

The DSS office in Tryon will be closed in order to move into the new building on Dec. 12. Services are scheduled to begin there on Tuesday, Dec. 13.

The new building is located off Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring on the county’s recre-ation park and middle school property.

The county is still on bud-get at $2 million for the ap-proximately 12,000-square-foot building.

The county approved a con-struction bid of $1,590,755 from Able Contractors for the project. The total project is estimated at $2 million, with the county agreeing to finance up to $1.85 million for the building.

Landrum Library holds celebration of literacy and cultureAs a member of the Landrum

High School Ambassadors, sopho-more Chelsea Regoni met students new to the region and even the country, many who spoke limited or no English.

Participating in this program, she said, further drove home the need for literacy and cultural un-derstanding.

“I’m really interested in literacy and helping students understand the importance of that as well as different cultures so I thought those would be two really good things to bring together,” Regoni said.

So, Regoni, as part of her Girl Scout Gold Project, has coordi-nated an event to be held Tuesday, Nov. 15 at the Landrum Library focused on celebrating literacy and cultural awareness.

The event will run from 6-8 p.m. and will include performances from Grammy nominated Native American flutist Roy Spotted Eagle Glass, drummers and dancers, an SC-ETV Appalachian musician

and storyteller, a Scotch-Irish bagpiper and a German accor-dionist. The evening will also allow attendees to view cultural artifacts, learn about local cultural businesses offered by the Amish and Pennsylvania Dutch and hear works read by local student writers.

“I want people to learn the importance of coming togeth-er through literacy and cultural events,” Regoni said. “Even though your lifestyles are different, that doesn’t mean you can’t find some-thing to enjoy in other people.”

Regoni has worked with sev-eral judges to select winners from submissions of student writers. The students have written pieces about their cultural and ethnic backgrounds through poems and essays from prompts about what places in the world they would like to visit and why. Books donated by Regoni’s church and cash prizes will be awarded to the winning student writers.

“I’m really trying to get other

students to continue writing and reading and even encourage their parents to do so, too,” Regoni said. “I believe that the development of literacy is critical to the develop-

ment of our society, as well as an understanding of other cultures.”

This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

PRINCIPAL OWNER/MANAGER AND TITLE:Dr. George Kim

HOW’S BUSINESS? In an environment of steady growth we are looking forward to further product and services expansion. The fall season brings an influx of those with the cold or flu, as well as those who are endeavoring to avoid becoming sick and come to us for ways to enhance their immune sys-tem and dodge the illness. We’ve hired additional staff to handle our seasonal and long-term growth and extended our week to include Fridays.

With that in mind, read “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” by Dale Carn-egie. You can find it for free in pdf form online. It shows you from the very beginning of your vast adventure ahead how to create a winning attitude, vision and communication style.

MY FIRST JOB: At a maintenance shop in high school. Ah, yes, I remember well the cold Colorado mornings in an old, very arid barn, scraping paint off a bus I think was older than the barn itself.

YOUR ROLE MODEL (IN BUSINESS OR IN LIFE GENER-ALLY): Without question, Jesus Christ, because He was filled with purpose, driven by passion for oth-ers. He touched the young, cared for the old, healed beggars, guided the educated and provided hope to everyone with whom He worked. Wow! Imagine what it would be like to work with Him in person for a week.

THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS: Under-promise and over-deliver.

VFW Post 10349 came to Tryon Elementary School (TES) recently to discuss Veterans Day with the students. The veterans conducted two programs, one for kindergarten through second grades and one for third through fifth grades.

The Pledge of Allegiance was recited and the flag was folded while an explanation was given for each fold of the flag. The chil-dren had the opportunity to help fold the flag. They discussed the importance of the American Flag, flag etiquette and what the stars and stripes represent. The fourth grade sang “It’s a Grand Old Flag.”

The VFW representatives talk-ed about the Poppy Program and recognized Ransom Ravan for his winning essay on the program.

“We truly enjoyed having them and hope to have them back next year,” TES officials said.

Pro Physical Therapy’s Geddings attends vision therapy courseLori Geddings, occupational

therapist for PRO Physical Therapy, recently attended a course entitled “Vision Process-ing and Therapy.”

The course focused on gain-ing a greater understanding of the role of vision beyond eyesight for patients of all ages. There is more area in the brain dedicated to vision than to any

other sense. “This was a fascinating

course and I look forward to putting this to practical use for my visually challenged patients,” Geddings said. “Vi-sion is both an input and output system. If a person is unable to properly use their eyes together to input their surroundings, then they are not receiving the cor-

rect information to their brain to perform functional movement. This can make such an impact on a client’s balance, depth perception and motor skills.”

Geddings works in collabora-tion with patient’s physicians or optometrist to provide our pa-tients with the best possible care.

This honor was bestowed based upon the results of a sur-vey in which random clients were asked to rank the ser-vice they re-c e i v e d f r o m the staffs of their local Edward Jones branch offices. The sur-vey identified Watson and El-liott as providing some of the most exemplary client service within the firm.

Edward Jones provides fi-nancial services for individual investors in the United States and, through its affiliate, in Canada. Every aspect of the firm’s business, from the types of investment options offered to the location of branch of-fices, is designed to cater to

individual investors in the com-munities in which they live and work. The firm’s 12,000-plus financial advisors work directly with nearly 7 million clients to understand their personal goals -- from college savings to retirement -- and create long-term investment solutions

that emphasize a well-balanced portfolio and a b u y - a n d -hold strategy. Edward Jones embraces the importance of

building long-term, face-to-face relationships with clients, helping them to understand and make sense of the investment options available today.

Edward Jones, which ranked No. 11 on FORTUNE maga-zine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” in 2011, is head-quartered in St. Louis. The Edward Jones web site is lo-cated at www.edwardjones.com, and its recruiting web site is www.careers.edwardjones.com. Member SIPC.

Sue Watson and Lynn Elliott ranked in top 25 percent of the country.

Recently, 45 new computers were distributed throughout St. Luke’s Hospital’s campus. These computers were made available through an $18,000 grant provided by the Polk County Community Founda-tion.

St. Luke’s Information Man-agement Director David Pear-son said the computers were very important, especially while St. Luke’s is operating new software and implementing significant procedural changes that will incorporate computer technology in several aspects of direct patient care and elec-tronic information manage-ment, particularly Electronic Medical Records.

Several of the new comput-ers were also used to set up a classroom to be used for train-ing hospital employees and physicians in the coming new systems and procedures. The remaining computers were used

in hospital administration and business offices in anticipation of increased computer support throughout most hospital sys-tems. Pearson added that “these 45 computers are a significant portion of the hospital’s goal of distributing 100 new per-sonal computers throughout our campus during Calendar Year 2011.”

In recent years, St. Luke’s Hospital has upgraded to fiber optic cable throughout their facilities, installed a new op-erating system, installed new wiring throughout their campus, incorporated 10 computers-on-wheels to assist with bedside patient care and record-keeping, initiated the installation of a wireless system in the main facility and trained almost 100 employees in basic computer operation and various Microsoft programs.

TheBird Box

by Simon Thompson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Staggered feather replacement is the normal molting pattern and

Molting cardinals surprise some bird enthusiasts

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

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

Carolyn Ashburn, Joe Cooper and Rolfe Wardner represented the Polk County Appearance Commission. The dedicated group removed more than 380 pounds of trash and 400 pounds of recyclables, along nearly 6.5 miles of the Green River Cove.

The Lake Adger volunteers, organized by Green River Wa-tershed Alliance Director Jamie Davidson, spent the morning on kayaks, pontoons and jon boats, and focused on three of the dirtiest coves along Mountain Park covering about a half mile of shoreline. The Lake Adger team consisted of Arden Achen-berg, Jerry and Susan Atwood, Jamie and Mike Davidson, Ruby Drew, Chris and Linda Greensfelder, Kim and Rick Morgan, Don Paddock, Ron Peters and Barbara Raymond. The team pulled more than 700 pounds of trash and 60 pounds of recyclables from the lake and shore, including more than 50 disposable lighters, and more than 150 flip flops.

Clean water starts at the top, and these efforts go a long way to improving the quality of downstream rivers which supply drinking water to many North and South Carolina com-munities. As more and more tourist are discovering the beauty of our area, it is eco-nomically important that they

are not turned away by trash lined roads and waterways.

N.C. Big Sweep is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works year-round to educate citizens for litter-free watersheds. Last year, a record number of vol-unteers (18,443) worked more than 84,000 hours to retrieve almost 521,000 pounds of de-bris statewide.

Liz Norstrom, shown here as The Queen of the Fairies, presented a program to her garden club, The Green Blades, about fairy gardens.The program included a walk through Norstrom’s fairy garden, information about how to create a fairy garden and about fairies: what they are, whether they are real, where they live and their history. Norstrom said fairies have been in every part of the world, including Polk County, since the beginning of time and are very much alive.

“Her program was delightful, and I for one would not have missed it,” said Elaine Riley. “There was a little bit of music, history, laughter and gardening, not to mention the queen herself in all her splendor – crown, wand, tutu and the most beautiful fairy wings. It was pure delight.” (photo by Elaine Riley; article submitted by Green Blades Garden Club)

In the delightful comedy “My Three Angels,” it’s 1910 in French Guiana (you remember – on the Atlantic coast of South America, just north of Brazil), 105 degrees outside, and pretty much the same inside (air conditioning hasn’t been i n v e n t e d yet).

French Guiana ’s D e v i l ’ s Island pe-nal colony frequently furnishes convicts as cheap labor to local residents, and right now three are up on the Ducotels’ roof of their combination home and shop making repairs.

For in the Tryon Little Theater’s Nov. 10 - 20 production of Sam and Bella Spewack’s highly popu-lar play, it is indeed about to be Christmas, and much is happening. Inept, kind, honest Felix Ducotel and his wife Emilie fear they are about to be booted out of their home and shop by Felix’s nasty, greedy cousin Henri Trochard. Meanwhile, their daughter, Marie Louise, is in love with Henri’s nephew Paul, who is completely under Henri’s thumb, and slated to marry a singularly unattract-ive girl who comes with a lot of money. And there’s crafty Madame Parole, who has made an art form of running up an unpaid tab at the Ducotels’ shop.

And oh yes – the three convicts. There’s Joseph, a superb salesman who could sell ice cubes to pen-guins and is in jail for masterful swindling; Jules, a kind man at heart who was forced by circum-stance to strangle his unfaithful wife; and Alfred, who dreams of romance but finds himself being incarcerated for killing his step-father with a poker.

On this Christmas Eve, while up on the roof, they overhear the various serious dilemmas the Du-cotels find themselves in, and being the souls of kindness underneath, the three convicts decide to make everything right again.

Director Lavin Cuddihee has announced his talented cast. Ap-

TLT: A classic comedy for holiday seasonpearing as Felix, Emilie and Marie Louise Ducotel are TLT veterans John Hugill, Carol Cox and Mat-tie Carruth. As bombastic Henri, John Calure, with his nephew Paul played by Alex Tapp. As Mme Parole, Joanne Alderman. As a vis-

agriculture is generating over 25 million per year,” Sprague said. “We live in one of the most abundant places on Earth and each year our growing demand for all things local is leading us in new innovative directions. Agri-tourism, for example, is gaining popularity across Western North Carolina and offers visitors a real farm expe-rience that not only entertains, but creates lasting memories. (Sometimes those memories even inspires one to sell their house in the city and buy a farm in Columbus.) Vineyards are also booming and more are opening tasting rooms and of-fering farm tours to capitalize on this attractive way of life. We also have a strong equestrian community, with a great deal of potential energy, that has long been a major player for horse events in the region.”

Several new agricultural ventures are currently happen-

ing in the county, Polk farm market manager Vaughn Loef-fler said, such as a culinary herb production facility capable of growing and shipping bulk orders, an aquaponics operation that will produce freshwater fish and salad greens, a ‘glam-ping’ farm that will combine outdoor recreation/education with slightly finer dining and amenities than tent camping.

“We are on the verge of great things in Polk County and thanks to our farmers and patrons of our markets we will continue to grow every year,” Loeffler said. “This week at the Columbus Farmer’s Market you’ll find locally produced greens, potatoes, pumpkins, squash, mushrooms, baked goods, chicken, beef, eggs and more. And after the markets are over you can still get your Polk Fresh fix at the ag center farm store.”

The Bird Box

by Simon Thompson

When the first threat of frost starts to creep down the moun-tains and your breath clouds on a cold morning, many people start to think of indoor activities to last them through the long, cold winter.

Even some bird watchers relax and put their feet up after the last warbler has fled the onset of cooler weather. But these cool, slow winter days do not mean that birding is over for the year. There are still places to go and birds to see, plus you have that added advantage of there being no leaves for birds to hide behind.

The rule of thumb during the winter months is to leave the dense woodlands and head into the open countryside. Find any stretch of marsh or open water and that is where the birds are easier to see. Dense thickets, especially in the wetter areas, may hold spar-r o w s , w r e n s and lingering warblers.

D u c k s , geese and gulls are found on lakes , l a rger rivers and res-ervoirs, and open fields create the best habitat for meadow-larks, pipits, snipe and birds of prey.

Here in the mountains of Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina there are plenty of good areas in which to stretch those winter-weary legs and enough birds to keep the binoculars warm.

If ducks aren’t your bag, head into the country and walk along any brushy edge and you are sure to flush some sparrows. Unlike the House Sparrow, a European import, most of our native species have rich songs, a far cry from the insistent cheepings of the more familiar inner city sparrow. Although many of the birds that you flush from the hedgerows may look brown and featureless, all of these sparrows sport a wide

range of head-stripes, wing-bars and streaks. Their feathers are far from dull and brown. All are worth the quiet and stealth needed to get that extra look.

Winter belongs to the raptors or birds of prey and the results f rom a good winter day out i n t h e f i e l d could include sightings of up to eight spe-cies. American

Kestrels are a common sight as they perch on the utility wires while they scan the ground be-low for food.

Northern Harriers quarter the fields like the balsa-wood airplanes of our childhood, and the stately Red-tailed Hawk is the common large all-brown bird of prey in many habitats throughout our area.

But where would one go to see birds in the local area, and enjoy a good winter walk? Here in Polk County, there are wonderful trails at FENCE running through a wide range of habitats or you can drive up the mountain to Jackson Park in Hendersonville where they run birdwalks on the second Saturday of every month.

Organized walks at your lo-cal parks or nature centers are excellent ways to be introduced

Experience continued bird watching in winter

to bird watching. The leaders are knowledgeable about the local birds and know where to see them. Take advantage of their expertise and start to learn about the birdlife in your area.

The winter is a good time to learn about birds, as winter birding is free from many of the hazards of summer, such as heat, ticks and mosquitoes and, as I mentioned earlier, the vegetation is but a shadow of its summer glory. Also there are fewer species to choose among, as many birds have left to go south for the winter.

You may not learn all of those little, brown sparrows on your first walk, but give your-self a little time and look care-fully at the bird’s feathers and how it flies. Before long you will know many of the common birds and one day you too may end up leading walks for other beginners.

Some readers may be familiar with felting methods that compress wool roving and create dense fab-ric that is used in hats and winter garments.

Nuno felting is a way to inject soft fabric like silk with wool roving to create an entirely new texture that combines the dense and rough with soft and smooth. The result is a scarf or garment that has an abstract quality and a very uneven surface and outline. Many colors are blended together to produce a rainbow of hues in one wearable piece. Each creation is distinctly original, bringing a new dimension to both silk and wool.

The instructor, Christine Mari-otti has been a textile instructor and professional fiber artist for more than 30 years and has exhib-ited her silk scarves in many local galleries around Tryon including the gift shop at Tryon Arts and Crafts.

This workshop will be held Saturday, Dec. 3, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be a small materials fee per person to cover silk fabric and wool roving.

Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information about the instructor or workshop including tuition and supply costs, please contact Tryon
