Landrum schools in sessionby Samantha Hurst

Veteran teacher Sharon Miller stacked books in baskets inside her 4K classroom Friday, Aug. 12 while down the hall kindergarten teacher Elizabeth Barrett wrote out name tags and arranged tiny chairs under desks.

Classes resume today at O.P. Earle Elementary, Landrum Mid-dle and Landrum High Schools for the 2011-2012 school year.

“We’re pretty excited to get started again,” said Miller, who’s been a teacher for the past 22 years. “I’m not sure who will be happier to be back, us or the kids.”

While enrollment holds steady at about 500 students at O.P. Earle, Principal Nita High said the school did add an extra K5 teacher this year because of the increased

Incumbents Jon Matheis, Joyce Whiteside and Randy Wohnig all filed for re-election, along with challenger Johnny Carruth, a for-

mer Landrum councilman.If no challengers had filed for

election, Landrum would not have held an election this year.

Polk is one of 26 counties cur-rently classified as being under moderate drought (D1) conditions. Nearby counties in D1 include Rutherford and Cleveland Coun-ties.

There are only a few counties in North Carolina currently who are not under any classifications of abnormally dry or drought. Several

counties on the coast are currently under extreme drought advisories.

Polk has suffered several droughts since 1999, with the year 2000 recording only 44.32 inches of precipitation for the year.

The area’s dry streak was bro-ken after several years in 2009, when Tryon recorded over 75 inches of precipitation for the year, which was nearly 30 inches more recorded in 2008.

The 2009 total was the most recorded since 2003 when Tryon received 83 inches of precipitation for the year.

The 2010 total precipitation re-corded by Tryon was 53.73 inches.

number of enrolled students in that age group.

Teacher Allison Brown, a for-mer teacher’s assistant, will fill that role.

Parents and students will also see a new face in the administra-tion office.

Brian Murray took over earlier this summer for former assistant principal Erika Center, who was promoted to principal at Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary.

Murray has served as a teacher, coach and assistant principal at Chapman High School for the past 14 years.

High said she expects Murray and O.P. Earle’s students to do well with the transition.

“It will be a change for him but he has children of his own and I think he is looking forward to working as an elementary admin-istrator,” High said of Murray. “He brings with him a genuine love for children and a sincere dedication to

this wonderful work we do.”Murray said he has four chil-

dren of his own, which he hopes has prepared him to some extent.

“I’m very excited to be here and feel the staff has been incredibly welcoming,” Murray said. “We’re looking forward to a good year.”

Dr. Richard Edney’s cell phone rang Aug. 2 with a call coming in from former Nascar driver Andy Petree.

Petree needed to sneak in an eye exam on his way to Green-ville and looked to his longtime friend for an appointment. To get there, Petree flew in on a small helicopter raising more than a few eyebrows around Columbus.

“My patients and the kids at the orthodontic office were thrilled to see a chopper land and wanted their photos taken with Andy,” Dr. Edney said.

It’s not the first time Petree and his chopper have made an appearance in Columbus. Edney said his friend has flown over the town before to grab aerial shots and take Edney for a visit to his home on Lake Normon near Charlotte.

“Several people thought it was a medical helicopter this last time,” said Dina Edney. “So, we’re glad he was willing to get out and let the kids see the helicopter.”

Petree is now an ESPN com-mentator and known for his time as a well-known crew chief on the Nascar circuit.

Edney first met Petree in 1993 when he was the crew chief for Nascar driver Harry Gant.

“Andy came into my office with a piece of metal in his eye and after treating him he asked me to go to a race with him sometime,” Edney said. “I be-

came an immediate Nascar fan after going into the garage area and onto pit row and meeting the drivers and pit crews.”

Eventually Edney even suited up as a member of a pit crew for a Busch series team. He kept up his practice but traveled with the team on weekends. Before long, Petree left Harry Gant’s team to become Dale Earnhardt’s crew chief and win a championship.

During all of the excitement

of Petree’s career during those years, the two have remained friends. Edney said they have come to share a passion for flying as well over the years. Edney has been a pilot for 19 years, with 2,000 hours in the air. A few years ago, Edney said Petree took helicopter les-sons and purchased the Ranger helicopter.

Now, Petree owns a smaller helicopter that he keeps near his

home in Hendersonville and on occasion will take quick flights here to Columbus.

Dr. Edney started in private practice in 1987 in Asheville. After six years of solo practice he merged into a group practice with 17 other eye doctors.

Edney left the group to return to his hometown and start his own practice in the same build-ing as his brother, Steve Edney, an orthodontist.

Learning to write a solid grant proposal cover letter

embarrassment later. Again, these things may

seem like minutiae, but suc-cess can turn on attention to such details.

Step four: the first para-graph should be short and sweet. In this paragraph it is your opportunity to introduce your nonprofit. When writing cover letters, always assume the funder has never heard of your nonprofit, even if you have received funding in the past from this funder.

Keep in mind that their committees and boards turn over just as a normal nonprofit, so the likelihood of a member being on the committee or board that does not know about your organization is high.

Also, in the first paragraph state how much money you will be requesting from the funder and why.

Finalize the first paragraph with a brief summary of what your nonprofit does, current programs etc.

It is also a nice touch to include a research-based quote that shows the need for your nonprofit and its services and/or programs.

Step five: the second para-graph of the cover letter should be very concise.

State your nonprofit’s pur-pose and how it fits with the funder’s mission or funding priorities/guidelines.

In this paragraph you also want to include who is sup-porting this project, such as your board of directors, other nonprofits or corporations who have already given funding for the project.

Step six: the final para-graph, once again, needs to be short. A summary of why you think this funding partnership would benefit your nonprofit

In the last article we shared the steps for identifying a grantmaker or foundation. In this article we will talk about the steps for writing a suc-cessful grant, starting with the cover letter.

When writ ing the cover letter for a grant application, make sure and pay close at-tention to the details. In many cases the cover let ter can make or break the entire grant proposal.

Remember this is the first document to be seen or read by the funder, foundation or grantmaker.

How do you know when to write a cover letter?

With state and federal grants they specifically ask that you not submit a cover letter.

They have specific require-ments of what they do and do not want.

Always thoroughly read every foundation’s guidelines for what is accepted and what is not. You will usually submit a cover letter for foundation’s and corporations.

In formatting the cover let-ter, again attention to detail always ensures success.

Step one: make sure the cover letter is on the organi-zation’s letterhead. Fancy or scented paper is unnecessary for grant proposals.

Step two: ensure the funders address is located at the top left of the cover letter. Include a person’s name in the address that you will then use for the salutation; it must be the same name.

Step three: for the saluta-tion always use “Dear” fol-lowed by the correct t i t le and last name of the contact person. Also make sure the person’s name in the address is the same name you use here.

Again the contact person changes often enough that I would not trust the website. A simple phone call to the funder to ensure you have the correct name and title will eliminate

Nonprofit Leadership

Melissa Le Roy

and the proposed project, pro-gram or service.

Also in this paragraph, if multiple people are signing the letter include their contact information, especially if it is different from the contact information listed on the non-profit’s letterhead.

Step seven: end the cover letter with “Sincerely” and have the executive director and/or chair of the board of directors sign the cover letter.

The rule of thumb is if you have mentioned in the cover letter that the board is in sup-port of this grant have the chair of the board of directors of your nonprofit sign the cover letter to show the support of the entire board.

After the signature(s) of the responsible parties, include ENCLOSURE on the bottom of the cover letter. I know another simple, yet often for-gotten formatting technique.

A quick checklist to ensure a good quality cover letter:

Marie Butler was inducted into the Second Wind Hall of Fame this month, honoring her 12 years of volunteer service to Hospice of the Carolina Foothills (HoCF), as well as her service to Steps to HOPE and St. Luke’s Hospital. HoCF CEO Jean Eckert and Volun-teer Manager Kim Smith presented Butler with the honor.

Butler has donated almost 4,000 hours as an office volunteer. In ad-dition, she as also visited hospice patients at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum, served on the hostess committee, assisted in the medical records de-partment and volunteered at various HoCF events.

“Helping others,” Butler said, “has been a lifetime desire for me.”

“Our Hospice is thrilled and fortunate to be the beneficiary of Marie Butler’s lifetime de-sire,” responded Kim Smith. The Butlers were themselves re-cipients of both palliative care and hospice care through Hospice of the

Carolina Foothills. “Connie was the first patient at

the Hospice House in March 2009, and it couldn’t have been a better experience,” said Butler. “Before we got there, it was nice to know that all I had to do was pick up the phone to find help on the other end.”

A native of Greensboro, N.C., Butler has lived in a number of places around the United States,

moving with her husband Con-nie’s job. Prior to moving to this area, Butler did volunteer work in schools, hospitals and organizations for unwed mothers.

Butler has also cared for several elderly friends and family mem-bers through the illness and dying process.
