Senate bill could hurt area farmsPolk sends letter asking for special provisions for small farmsby Leah Justice

Some Polk officials cautioned county commissioners last week that proposed U.S. Senate Bill 510 could put some Polk County farmers “out of business.”

The FDA Food Safety Modern-ization Act (Senate Bill 510) cur-rently being proposed would amend the federal food, drug and cosmetic

act. It would give the Secretary of Health and Human Services the authority to inspect records related to food.

The amendment has been pro-posed in a time when foods have been recalled because of sickness and deaths, most recently eggs, spinach and tomatoes.

Some officials have expressed concerned that it could result in high inspection fees for small farmers.

Polk County commissioners last week approved sending a letter to

legislators in response to the bill. The letter says that Polk County supports “the con-cern for food safety, but the implementation of any program should have special provisions

“We strongly encourage that any implementation for small farms be carried out at the lo-cal level through local agencies and resource specialists,” states

Polk County Agricultural Eco-nomic Development Director Lynn Sprague, who recom-mended they send the letter. Polk County Cooperative Ex-tension Director John Vining and residents David Weiss,

is “immense” and approaches agriculture as a uniform busi-ness.

“I don’t think anyone should be against food safety,” Sprague said, but added that the bill could mean $600 inspection fees for small farmers.

Vining said some of the proposals would put a “high percentage of our farmers out of business,” including those that would require well water be used for irrigation.

Vining said he doesn’t know what the answer is because the country has to have food safety and the intention is good, but

what the government has come up with is just not practical.

Some people mentioned a resolution recently adopted by Macon County, which opposed the bill and suggested that small farmers be exempt from the regulations.

Polk commissioners said at this point they are comfortable approving the letter and research-ing the bill to see if other mea-sures need to be taken later.

Residents and Polk officials urged residents to contact leg-islators regarding any concerns they have with the bill.

The bill was sponsored by Illinois Senator Richard Durbin N.C. Senator Richard Burr is a co-sponsor.

Polk County commissioners send letter to U.S. legislators

Editor's note: The following is a letter sent by the Polk County Board of Commissioners to U.S. legislators regarding a bill being considered by the Senate (see front page story)

The Polk County Board of Commissioners have been asked to respond to SB 510, the “Food Safety Bill.” Polk County, a small county of less than 20,000 residents, has determined that keeping the county rural and agricultural is a top priority and entrepreneurial agricultural businesses a way to increase the economy.

Food safety is a concern for everyone and as we have seen, several cases of food contaminations have produced health hazards and have dev-astated the farm economy for targeted crops, even affecting Polk County. We support the

concern for food safety, but the implementation of any program should have special provisions for the small farmers who can-not afford large corporation fees for the food safety program. We strongly encourage that any implementation for small farms be carried out at the local level through local agencies and resource specialists.

To encourage a full discus-sion of SB 510 and its impact on our local farmers, we would be glad to participate in any forums or hearings regarding the issues. Again, we support food safety and hope this effort provides mechanisms to accomodate the small farm operations.

Please contact us if you would like additional informa-tion on how this bill will affect Polk County.

A one-stop early voting sta-tion and regular board of com-missioners meetings in Saluda were two ideas proposed last Thursday by candidates for Polk County commissioner and sheriff at a forum hosted by the Saluda Center (formerly the Saluda Senior Center).

Six of the eight candidates for commissioner participated in the forum: Ray Gasperson (Incum-bent, D), Margaret Johnson (D), Tommy Melton (Incumbent, Unaffiliated), Ted Owens (R), Benny Smith (D) and Warren Watson (Incumbent, Unaffili-ated). Tom Pack (R) and David Moore (R) were unable to attend because of prior commitments, but they sent statements to be read at the forum.

Current Polk sheriff Donald Hill (D) and challenger Nathan Shields (R) also participated.

Several of the questions audi-ence members posed to candi-dates dealt with the relationship between Polk County govern-ment and Saluda township.

To a question asking what the county does for Saluda, Ow-ens replied, “Those of you who live in Saluda Township, if you walked up and asked me what you get for your county taxes,

I’d be hard put to tell you.”He said the joint water au-

thority the county and towns are working on currently would be a big benefit to Saluda, and that the county recreation department needs to do more in Saluda.

Many of the candidates agreed that a Polk County water authority would help Saluda, which current-ly buys its water from Henderson-ville and therefore has no control over costs or other issues.

Melton suggested that the county board of commissioners should hold its regular meeting in Saluda at least once every two months. He said meetings could also be held periodically in Sunny View and possibly Green Creek.

A one-stop early voting loca-tion in Saluda was another idea supported by several candidates.

“Saluda deserves a one-stop voting area in the next election,” Smith said.

Johnson and Gasperson said the county should find ways to support tourism in Saluda and the area in general.

Sheriff candidates also han-dled questions about Saluda services. Asked whether the sheriff’s office has enough

manpower to assist Saluda with patrol coverage, Hill said, “Not really.”

He described the system in use now for patrols, and said the department’s ability to handle Saluda calls depended on where the most activity was at any given time.

Shields suggested improving that coverage through restructur-ing, including putting investiga-tors on patrol with deputies.

Other issues stressed by all candidates included the impor-tance of economic development – bringing businesses to Polk County.

“The first thing we have to do is to become more business friendly,” Owens said.

Watson and Melton talked about how expensive land prices are in the area and how that hampers economic develop-ment. They said the cost of land makes it difficult to cre-ate affordable housing to help working people be able to afford to live here.

All candidates agreed that they did not expect to have to raise taxes. Gasperson said with the construction of the DSS building under way now, the county should have no immedi-ate construction needs, so a tax increase should not be needed.

Hill said the county’s big-gest drug problem right now is illegal pills. He said coopera-tion between law enforcement agencies is necessary to fight the drug problems. He also said he would like to see the sheriff’s office increase its involvement with schools.

Shields agreed that the sher-iff’s office needs to increase its visibility in the county’s schools. He said children should see law enforcement officers as their advocates, not as the enemy.

The forum ended with a “meet and greet” session that gave residents the chance to talk with candidates directly.

The election will be held next Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Shuler, Miller face off on Nov. 2 for U.S. House seat

Jeff miller (r)

by Leah Justice

Incumbent U.S. Congressman Heath Shuler (D) and challenger Jeff Miller (R) have faced off in a heated election this year.

The race is for the U.S. House of Representatives 11th District, which represents most of West-ern North Carolina, including Polk County.

Shuler has representated North Carolina as U.S. Con-gressman since being elected in 2006, beating then eight-term Republican Charles Taylor.

He grew up in Western North Carolina and graduated from Swain County High School. Shuler played football with the University of Tennessee and was drafted in the NFL to the

Washington Redskins and then the New Orleans Saints before an injury ended his career. Shuler returned to the University of Tennessee and graduated with a degree in psychology.

He began a real estate com-pany in Knoxville, Tennessee before returning to North Caro-lina, where he currently lives in Waynesville.

A political newcomer, Miller was born and raised in Hen-dersonville. He graduated from Hendersonville High School and later Appalachian State Univer-sity. He worked for his family’s dry cleaning and laundry service when he was young and took over the business with his brother and ran it for the next 20 years.

by Leah Justice

Polk County voters have a chance this election to choose a can-didate to represent the state in the U.S. Senate for North Carolina.

Incumbent Senator Richard Burr (R) is being challenged this year by Elaine Marshall (D) and Michael Beitler (L).

Burr has held the U.S. Senate seat since 2005. Burr previously was a U.S. Congressman, elected in 1994.

The son of a minister, Burr and his family moved to Winston-Salem when he was young. He graduated from Wake Forest University and spent 17 years with Carswell Dis-tributing, a wholesale commercial

products company.Marshall is cur-

rently North Caro-lina’s Secretary of State and previously served in the North Carolina Senate in 1993-1994.

M a r s h a l l w a s born in Maryland to a farmer father who also served as a vol-unteer firefighter and her mother was the organist in the family church. She graduated from Campbell University with a law degree and has worked as both a teacher and an attorney.

Beitler grew up in east Baltimore and earned a B.S. degree from the University of Central Florida. He worked in the banking industry prior to teaching. He has been teaching

at the Bryan School of Business & Economics at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro for the past 13 years and works as a con-sultant. He is also an author.


‘Kick Breast Cancer in the Tail’ with Morris the Tryon HorseWhite Oak of Tryon (formerly White Oak

Manor of Tryon) employees paid to dress in pink on Wednesday, October 13. The money raised will go to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

A contest was held on each shift to find the person who wore the most pink. White Oak Village residents Jacquie Minick and Marianna Whalley were guest judges of the contest. Winners of a free T-shirt were Jennifer Carver, Candy Hopper and T.J. Ledbetter.

Black T-shirts featuring Morris the Tryon Horse in hot pink kicking up his heels with the slogan, “Kick Breast Cancer in the Tail,” are now on sale at White Oak of Tryon. Permis-sion for the one time use of Morris was given

by Mary Prioleau, owner of Tryon House and holder of the copyright for Morris. She said, “I am glad to let Morris participate in Breast Cancer Awareness Month.”

Mary Lance, administrator of White Oak of Tryon, said, “We started thinking the T-shirt would be for sale just to our employees, but the shirt has caused so much comment that we are willing to take orders and have more printed if people want them; after all, they are one-of-a-kind and could be consid-ered a collector’s item.”

All profits from the sale of the shirts will go to benefit Chris Killough, LPN of White Oak of Tryon, who is undergoing extensive treatment for breast cancer.

North Carolina voters, including those in Polk County, will select a Court of Appeals Judge by Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) on Nov. 2.

This method of voting combines the primary and election day into one election. Voters select their first choice for IRV contests like every other contest on the ballot (see sample ballot, p. 11), but they also rank their second or third choices in the event the initial results do not produce a majority winner who received more than 50 percent of the votes cast.

Instant Runoff Voting is required if a vacancy is created in the appel-

late judicial offices under certain conditions. In August, the resigna-tion by Judge James A. Wynn Jr. from the NC Court of Appeals to accept an appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit, occurred during the prescribed timeframe for IRV to be used as the voting method for this statewide contest.

In IRV elections, voters select their first choice for an office as they have done in previous elec-tions. Additionally, voters may se-lect their second and third choices. The voters’ first choices are tallied and are reported unofficially on

election night. If a candidate gets enough first choice votes to win, more than 50 percent of votes cast, s/he is certified as the winner at canvass and no further counting is necessary.

If no candidate receives enough first choice votes to reach the major-ity threshold (more than 50 percent), the top two candidates move to the instant runoff. The winner is deter-mined by adding the highest ranked second or third choice vote to his/her initial vote totals. The candidate with the most votes in the second round wins the election.

If a voter’s first choice candidate

is not in the runoff, a second choice vote for either of the two runoff can-didates will be counted. Third choice votes for either runoff candidate will be counted only if the voter’s first or second choice candidate is not in the runoff. After all counting is concluded, the candidate with the most first and second round total votes wins the election.

For more information, please contact the North Carolina State Board of Elections by phone, 1-866-522-4723 or 919-733-7173, visit the state elections website, www.sboe.state.nc.us, or contact your county board of elections.

Adawehi celebrates Celiac Awareness Month and new research findings

Beneficial Foods, a natural market in Polk County, is observ-ing Celiac Awareness Month by identifying gluten-free products on the store shelves and making information available regarding gluten intolerance.

In the course of preparations for Celiac Awareness Month, the market team discovered recent research. On September 27, the “Annals of Medicine” published findings regarding celiac disease. The incidence of this autoim-mune disease is increasing and is especially on the rise among se-niors. This research has reopened the mystery of “delayed onset” celiac disease. In this study, it was shown that individuals can tolerate gluten in their diets for many decades before developing celiac disease.

Although celiac disease has been estimated to affect about one to two per cent of the popula-tion, this research could stimulate progress in many other areas. In addition to alerting the public of the atypical symptoms of celiac disease, this study may be a breakthrough for the entire cat-egory of autoimmune disorders, including type 1 diabetes, rheu-matoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Affecting five percent to eight percent of the US popu-lation, autoimmune disorders make up the third most common disease category after cancer and heart disease.

The U.S. study, which fol-lowed 3,500 people beginning in 1974, was led by Alessio Fasano, MD, who directs the Center for Celiac Research and the Uni-versity of Maryland’s Mucosal Biology Research Center. Re-searchers found that in the U.S., the incidence of celiac disease doubled every 15 years. As the subjects of the study grew older, the incidence of celiac disease in-creased. These findings brought to mind the conclusions of a 2003 Finnish study that found celiac disease to be prevalent in the senior population at almost

two and a half times the rate found in the general population in Finland.

Celiac disease, unlike simple gluten intolerance, is the result of the concurrent presence of three factors: the genetic predisposi-tion or susceptibility to the dis-ease, the environmental trigger of gluten in the diet, and the “leaky gut” syndrome of indigestible gluten seeping into underly-ing tissues. Classic symptoms include indigestion, abdominal pain, bloating, and diarrhea.

Atypical symptoms, including joint pain, chronic fatigue, and depression, sometimes compli-cate accurate diagnosis when a blood sample is not taken to test for antibodies to gluten. Only 11 percent of those who tested posi-tive for celiac disease through blood samples had actually been diagnosed with the disease based on reported symptoms.

In the past, it has been com-monly accepted that nothing can be done to prevent auto-immune disorders unless the trigger or cause of the autoim-munity is removed. Because the individuals were studied over time, genetics was not a factor. Therefore, researchers believe that environmental factors other than the gluten in the diet caused individuals to lose tolerance to gluten, thereby stimulating the onset of the disease.

As a result of prior research, Dr. Fasano suggested in a “Sci-entific American” article (August 2009) that the mystery of delayed onset celiac disease may be relat-ed to the bacteria that live in the digestive tract. If this line of rea-soning proves to be promising, in the future we may learn more about how helpful microbes or “probiotics” might be used in prevention or treatment.

For more information on gluten-free products and gluten intolerance information sources, call Beneficial Foods at 828-894-0737.

Two years is long enoughTo the Editor:

An article in the Bulletin last week stated that a Mr. Stalbach was going to build a restaurant on the property where Crossroads used to be. According to him and Mr. Gasperson he had been working on this for a year. I was wondering why no one heard anything about it till now. Of course the person who did or does own the property says they have misprinted the article, that it’s the property on up highway 9.I guess I’m just a curious person, but I would like to know and maybe others would too. For me, I would like to see it torn down and something else put in its place.

I think two years is long enough for something to be a reminder of what used to be a gathering place.

Partnering is good governanceTo the Editor:

The public/private partnership used by Polk County government to meet the need for an Adult Day Care facility is a model for other communities. This venture is the first of its kind in the area. Polk County government has provided the facility, and completed the necessary renovations to get the facility ready for occupancy. Rutherford Life Services will provide the services. The beauty of this concept is that, with the exception of some utility bills in the first few years, there will be no ongoing expenditures required of the County. The agency will seek its own funding through grants, Medicare, VA, and private pay clients.

There will also be help for those who cannot pay and do not otherwise qualify for assistance. A local group of citizens, which we like to call the “Blue Ribbon Committee”, will be soliciting private donations for a scholar-ship fund for those in need of assistance. The committee’s first year goal is to raise approxi-mately $100,000.

In my opinion, this venture shows how effective government can be, if our elected officials

will think outside the box. My vision for Polk County includes more of these types of relation-ships. For instance, I believe the advantages of a joint water authority can be further enhanced by partnering with a larger entity to manage the day-to-day op-erations of the authority. Polk County is currently partnering with Inman-Campobello Water District to provide management and billing services for the Polk County Water Department, and this relationship has allowed Polk County to keep operating costs for our fledgling water system extremely low.

Another excellent example of partnering with other entities to become more effective and efficient is St. Luke’s Hospital. The management agreement with Carolinas Health care System has proven to be the difference in our hospital’s overall financial health. Since this agreement was put into place, and some key strate-gies have been implemented by the hospital board and the new management team, St. Luke’s has consistently been “in the black,” even in our challenging economy.

In my opinion, running a gov-ernment should be very similar to running a business. Our elected leaders can no longer rely on tax hikes and fee increases to offset the deficits caused by the inefficiencies of poorly managed operations. Instead, we need to build relationships within our County and our Region, and we must seek out opportunities to partner with other local govern-ments and with private entities where it makes good business sense. This is what good gover-nance is all about.

November blood drives in PolkPresenting donors may enter drawing to win Delta Air Lines ticket

The weather is changing and the holidays are quickly approaching. One thing that remains the same is the con-stant need for blood. Present to donate with the American Red Cross, and take flight! The Red Cross is asking donors to donate blood or platelets and they can “Fly Into the Holidays with Delta!”

The campaign, which runs from October 1 to December 31, 2010, 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.

“The Red Cross is grateful to Delta for helping us find a unique way to say thank you to blood donors,” stated Joyce H. Brendel, CEO of American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region. “Patients in area hos-pitals depend on the generosity of blood donors every day. We cannot adequately express the daily need for blood donors.”

On Monday, November 8, a Polk Community Blood Drive will be held at Holy Cross Episcopal Church, lo-cated on Melrose Avenue in Tryon, from 12:30 to 5 p.m. Call 828-894-2700 for further information or to schedule your appointment.

All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win one of two pairs of Delta Airline Tickets.

On Sunday, November 14, Coopers Gap Baptist Church will hold its blood drive at 730 Coopers Gap Road in Colum-bus from 1:30 to 6 p.m. Call 828-894-8059, 828-894-3232 or 828-625-9272 for further information or to schedule your appointment.

All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a

chance to win one of two pairs of Delta Airline Tickets.

On Wednesday, November 24, Autumn Care of Saluda will hold its blood drive at 501 Esseola Street in Saluda from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Call 828-749-2261 for further in-formation or to schedule your appointment.

All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win one of two pairs of Delta Airline Tickets.

Every two seconds, some-one in the United States needs blood. The American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region provides lifesaving blood to patients in 103 hos-

pitals. Approximately 1,600 people need to give blood or platelets each week day to meet hospital demand.

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.

For more information or to schedule an appointment to donate, call 1-800-RED CROSS (733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org.

It is not unusual for Ray to go to work, drive back down to Polk County for a meeting, then head back up and work until 11:00 pm. And while he’s driving, hanging vinyl, or baling hay, he’s thinking. Thinking about You and what is best for You. Quite often, I can hear the tractor running or the walls being sanded while we problem solve on the phone.

VFW, Ladies Auxiliary teach Sunny View Elem. about American flag

VFW Post 10349 Mill Spring and Ladies Auxiliary went to Sunny View Elementary School on Thursday, October 14 and gave a presentation to third, fourth and fifth graders on the proper folding and care of the American flag.

After the Pledge of Allegiance, Johnny Taylor, post quartermas-ter and District 16 commander, folded the flag with the assistance of the scouts from the school. Geraldine Taylor, post auxiliary president, explained the meaning

of each fold.Students also learned the

meaning of the colors in the flag, flag etiquette and handling of the flag during raising and lowering. The students heard about the history of Veteran’s Day and how it was started. Organizers also talked about the Pledge of Allegiance, when it was started and its history. Presenters said the students seemed to be inter-ested in the program and asked a lot of questions.

‘MonkY Business’ tickets on sale Oct. 28

betty brewer and mark monaghan plan publicity for “monky business.” (photo submitted)

After the recent success of Tryon Little Theater’s “Welcome to Mit-ford,” when every performance sold out, “MonkY Business” producer Betty Brewer is hopeful that it will happen again.

When the TLT box office opens October 28 at 10 a.m., TLT vol-unteers will be ready to take your calls and e-mail requests for tickets to “MonkY Business” by Todd Mueller and Hank Boland, with music and lyrics by Gregg Opelka. Brewer says both shows have a mes-sage that may appeal to the religious community. The dominant theme in each show is faith, a topic covered several times in the current musical comedy in rehearsal at TLT.

With the ballad “People Be-lieved,” the abbott sings of a time when people were gentler and “believed things.” The toe-tapper “Be Kind to Your Brother” is a ditty about kindness to all, no mat-ter what. People of all faiths will appreciate “Long Distance Calling” when a monk sings about receiv-ing the call to serve God. Brother Brooks sings about his own painful/beautiful process. From his initial reluctance, to the joyful acceptance of his calling, we learn that this is indeed a man who loves God.

In the score by Gregg Opelka, the song stylings run the gamut from country gospel, to blues, to swing, cool jazz (“God Loves a Cheerful Giver”) and even a bit of Argentinian tango.

The Rochester Messenger says, “Go see it and consider yourself blessed!” The Houston Chronicle called it “a musical theater hit à la ‘Nunsense!’”

The TLT box office will be open Oct. 28, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and one hour prior to performances, pending ticket availability. “MonkY Busi-ness” plays Nov. 11 to 14 and 18 to 21, Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m. with two 3 p.m. Sunday mati-nees. Call 828-859-2466 to leave a message or e-mail ticket requests to [email protected].

Tryon Little Theater is located at 516 S. Trade Street (Hwy 176) in Tryon. Directions to TLT: From Asheville, take I-26 to Exit 67, Hwy. 108 and Hwy. 74. From Spartanburg, take I-26 to Exit 1 (Landrum) Hwy. 14 to Hwy. 176, turn right for 3.3 miles.

Democratic Commissioners recognize that the County economic development program,

which was put in place by Pack and Owens,

was consuming taxpayer dollars without producing results. They have stopped unproductive spending & are now developing a plan

that works, in partnership with the EDC.

Democrats know that agriculture is a priority for economic development & the Agricultural Development Center in

Mill Spring is a key component.

Unfortunately, Watson and Melton objected to minimal ‘start up’ financial support to help cover utilities & they voted against

running a county water line to the center.

Our candidates know, for Ag jobs to grow it takes seed money, hard work,

& a little H2O.

Where is the justice here?To the Editor:

A Polk County man being held in the county jail awaiting trial was not allowed to attend his mother’s funeral. He was given a choice to attend the closed casket funeral or the viewing of her body. He had to chose the viewing in order to see his mother one last time. However, when he spoke with his two minor chil-dren about this he then decided to attend the funeral instead of the viewing because he wanted to be there for his sons.

After speaking with the chief deputy he was denied the right to change his mind with no reason given. I personally spoke with the county manager about this and he referred me to Sheriff Hill. However I had spoken with Hill in the past and was given orders by him to never call or speak to him again. How can we depend on our law enforcement when they act like this?

From colonial times until now, Americans have believed in an old English saying: “ It is better for 99 guilty men to be set free rather than one innocent to be punished.” In the United States, a person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

It seems to me that in Polk County that is just the opposite. A man was punished by not be-ing allowed to attend his own mother’s funeral. Put yourself in this situation and imagine if you weren’t allowed to go to your mother’s, father’s or even your own child’s funeral. Where is the justice here?

Stroke, osteoporosis screening coming to Tryon November 1

Residents living in and around the Tryon community can be screened to reduce their risk of hav-ing a stroke or bone fracture. The Sandy Plains ARP Church will host Life Line Screening on November 1. The site is located at 350 Sandy Plains Road in Tryon. Appoint-ments will begin at 9 a.m.

Four key points every person needs to know:

1. Stroke is the third leading cause of death and a leading cause of permanent disability.

2. 80 percent of stroke victims had no apparent warning signs prior to their stroke.

3. Preventive ultrasound screenings can help you avoid a stroke.

4. Screenings are fast, nonin-vasive, painless, affordable and convenient.

For more information regard-ing the screenings or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800-697-9721 or visit www.lifeline-screening.com. Pre-registration is required.

Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms and hardening of the arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of heart disease.

A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women. Many sites offer finger-stick blood tests to check for cholesterol and glu-cose. All five screenings take 60 to 90 minutes to complete.

Polk N.C. Big Sweep helps improve waterwaysPolk County nC big sweep volunteers. (photos submitted)

On Saturday, October 9, 14 volunteers gathered on the banks of the Green River and along Vaughn’s Creek as part of Polk County’s contributions to N.C. Big Sweep, a statewide effort to remove litter and debris from our waterways and beaches.

The group removed over a half of a ton of trash, along nearly five miles of the Green River Cove and over ¾ mile of Vaughn’s Creek in Tryon on the proposed Vaughn’s Creek Greenway. Polk County Middle School students also par-ticipated in the event by cleaning up Laughter Pond on October 1.

The Green River crew con-sisted of Polk County High School ‘Green Team’ members Alessandra Akers, Allie Clayton, Anna Koenig (president), Chan-ning Marshall, Isla Neel and

Bronwyn Pellatt, as well as local volunteers Lynn Ulrey, and Linda and Mark Byington.

Vaughn’s Creek volunteers included Hugh Hursey, Bill Jack-son, Meghan and Zach Johnson, Kate Stroupe, and John Vining. Mckinsey Printing donated the printing of Big Sweep posters, and the Town of Tryon picked up the collected debris off the proposed Vaughn’s Creek Greenway.

Clean water starts at the top, and these efforts go a long way

to keeping Polk County pristine, and improving the quality of downstream rivers which supply drinking water to many South Carolina communities.

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 volunteers (18,443) worked more than 84,000 hours to retrieve almost 521,000 pounds of debris statewide.

One flag, one nation, one language under GodTo the Editor:

Nathan Shields has been en-dorsed by the North Carolina Police Benevolent Association as the most experienced candidate in the race for sheriff of Polk county. His is more than qualified to hold the position. He has thirty years of law enforcement experience in North Carolina and South Caro-lina attaining the highest rank of chief of police. After twenty years in the military in the infantry and military police he retired as first sergeant. Nathan has a bachelor’s degree from Shaw University when he graduated cum laude and an associate’s degree from Ari-zona Western College. Remember the prisoner who walked out of the courthouse, on Donald Hill’s watch and wasn’t apprehended until ten days later. Nathan will do all in his power to restore honor, respect and dignity to our sheriff’s department.

Had enough of wasteful spend-ing and unnecessary extravagance in the DSS building propos-als? Vote for realistic, taxpayer friendly county commissioners, Ted Owens, Tom Pack and David Moore. Tom wrote a most per-suasive letter outlining, in detail, what the current commissioners are doing in regard to the DSS building and the added expenses which are not necessary for such a functional building. He wants

to encourage those in need to use social services on a short term, not depend on help forever. With Owens, Pack and Moore in Com-missioner seats, watch our area thrive safeguarding our beautiful, bucolic ambiance while carefully attracting business and jobs for controlled growth. Heath Shuler did not bother to respond to the “N.C. Family Policy Council Voter Guide,” and impartial, non-partisan look at N.C. candidates. Jeff Miller did. He wasn’t afraid to have his views and possible future votes on a variety of issues displayed. An “up front” hon-est man whose integrity is very important to him, he is just the “man for the times” we need in Washington.

Jeff is not a “blue do” any-thing. He is a conservative, pe-riod. Apple growers who believe Heath Shuler, imported from Ten-nessee, will help you when you need it, more than Jeff who has lived here his whole life, please think again.

We finally have a real contend-er for the House. Jeff doesn’t have the friends Heath has from unions and outside sources. Passionate American voters will prove mon-ey is not the bottom line. Highly regarded in Hendersonville by those knowing him longer and best, we look forward to having a political newcomer, one who will follow and not ignore the Consti-tution, representing us.

Do not become compliant. We need and want everyone of your votes November 2.

One flag, one nation, one lan-guage under God.

Halloween Trick-or-Treating in ColumbusSince Halloween falls on a

Sunday this year, the Town of Columbus has received numer-ous questions about when kids should trick or treat for Hal-loween.

While the town does not set rules on this, officials do suggest that children trick or treat on Saturday, October 30, this year.

The Columbus Fire Depart-ment will distribute apples to trick-or-treaters that night and other safety personnel will be on call to ensure a safe trick-or-treating for all.

The Columbus Police De-partment would like to remind everyone of these tips for safe trick or treating:

• Parents, remind your chil-dren to look both ways before

crossing the street.• Make sure your child car-

ries a flashlight, glowstick, or has reflective tape on their costume so they can be seen at night.

• Younger children should be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible sibling.

• Remind kids to not eat any treats until inspected by an adult.

• Remind kids not to enter a strange house or car.

• Also, remember to be extra cautious both nights if you are driving.

Contact the Columbus Police Department at 828-894-5464 or in person at 117 Walker Street in Columbus if you have any questions.

He is the only wayTo the Editor:

In response to the article in the Bulletin Friday, September 24, con-cerning salvation by water baptism, I offer the following rebuttal. If a person could be saved by baptism, works, confirmation, church mem-bership, communion, good works, of any kind then Jesus Christ died in vain. In the gospel of John 3: verses 1-7 Jesus Christ calls salvation the “New Birth” three times. “ You must be born again.” In Ephesians 2: 1-3 we are told by the apostle Paul, every person outside of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, is dead in their sins, depraved because they are a sinner and doomed in their sins as a sinner. In essence, without God’s grace, we are hopelessly lost. Then in verses 4-9 we are told, “By grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God; not of works, lest any man should boast.” This gives each of us hope. In the gospel of John we read, “But as many as received him, (Jesus) to them he gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Water baptism does not bring about a spiritual birth in the heart and soul. A person can be baptized a hundred times over, have all the

rituals, read, recited, etc and will still be a lost sinner. A wet sinner, yes, but still a lost sinner.

The article quoted from the Declaration of formation of Con-cord 11.10-14 as follows, “ Jesus makes baptism the inaugural right into the kingdom of God, a role that can not be assigned to faith. Baptism is the occasion and cause of regeneration. The benefits of salvation are in baptism. Baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit is every Christian’s spiritual birth. God works his rebirth as easily in an infant as an adult by the word of the Holy Ghost. Baptism works the forgiveness of sins gives eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.” Nothing could be farther from the truth than salvation by baptism. Jesus Christ warned in the Bible, “Be not deceived by false prophets that come to you in sheep’s cloth-ing.” If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, looks like a duck it is usually a duck. Jesus said, by their fruit you shall know them. In John 14: 6, Jesus said, “ I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes unto the Father, but by me. “Jesus is not just one of many ways to have salvation. He is the only way. I-John 1: 7-9 If a person does not have Jesus as their Savior, they have no Savior.

Foothills Highland Games November 6

Participants in a past foothills highland Games and festival. (photo submitted)

Experience living history at the S.C.O.T.S. (Scottish Clans of the South, Inc.) annual gathering of the clans at the 10th Annual Foothills Highland Games and Festival on November 6 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Jackson Park in Hendersonville, N.C. Steeped in history and culture for nearly a thousand years, clansmen and chiefs have gathered to com-pete in one of the most rigorous competitions in the world… the Scottish Highland Games.

Celebrate the Celtic heri-tage at the Foothills Highland Games and Festival featuring Scottish athletics competition (caber toss, tugs of war and other feats of strength), High-land dancers, sheep herding demonstrations, bagpipe bands, children’s games, parade of tar-tans, wrestling, Scottish music and entertainment, food and much more.

Entertainment will be by Uncle Hamish and the Hooli-gans, Alex Beaton, Maidens IV, and Robert Mouland. Sample traditional Scottish foods, or American if you prefer. You can also shop at many Scottish and

Celtic related vendors.In celebration of a success-

ful hunt a great feast would be held. Rival clansmen would join in testing one another’s strength by competing in various sports – running, jumping, and wrestling. Clansmen would also square off in piping and dancing, demonstrating their agility by dancing complicated steps to

pipe music. These early forms of recreation were in effect the pioneers of what we know today as the Highland games.

For information, tickets, or a schedule of events call 828-693-8526. Advance tickets are available on the Foothills High-land Games website at www.scotsfoothillshg.org.

It wasn’t too long ago as I stood in the lobby of the Polk County Sheriff’s Office when Leah Justice, reporter for the Tryon Daily Bulletin, walked passed and was told by a third party that I was going to run for Sheriff. Leah did not miss a stride and said, “I can’t get involved with politics.” I thought to myself, “Well there goes an unbiased reporter who will not let her political affiliation affect her reporting.”

But recently, Ms. Justice reported an unsubstantiated and incorrect story about the 9.12 Project Sheriff ’s Candidate Debate being cancelled. She boldly included my association with the non-partisan group as though that was somehow

Letter to the Editora problem. Ms. Justice never contacted the organizer of the debate to confirm or deny the rumored cancellation. In light of that, I have come to rethink my previous misconception of Leah Justice’s “unbiased” reporting ability.

The Polk County 9.12 Project is a non-partisan organization which is dedicated to protecting and defending the Constitution of the United States. Hardly something to fear from a can-didate for Sheriff. They do not endorse any party, but seek to find candidates who will com-mit to adhering to the values of our founding fathers and those documents upon which our country was given birth. I gave my word that I would be present at the debate and I was there. The opposing candidate was not present. And that is a shame because the questions posed at the debate were unbiased, ob-jective, and professional. The spectators were respectful. It would have given the citizens an

opportunity to compare the basic philosophies and future plans for the Sheriff’s office between the two candidates.

I do not find anything out of the ordinary for the 9.12 Project or any group that either the in-cumbent Sheriff, Donald Hill, or I are associated with, to host a debate. In actuality, any debate would favor Sheriff Hill because he is the incumbent Sheriff of Polk County. He is the Sheriff of all citizens of Polk County, even those associated with the 9.12 Project. He is already in the limelight and I have to project my competency and qualifica-tion in an effort to sway the vote of the citizens of Polk County to vote for me as Sheriff.

I do not believe that I need an unfair political advantage, as my training, education, and experience in law enforcement, as well as military experience will attest to, to win an election. There are, however, apparently those who believe otherwise and it is wrong.

I have served the citizens in the Carolinas and around this wonderful world without regard to religious beliefs, gender, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, age or disability, in an unbiased manner. I have never disliked anyone I have arrested or is-sued a uniform citation to. It is the illegal or criminal behavior that the individual exhibited I did not like.

I have never nor will I ever use that authority of arrest as a vendetta against any lawful per-son or group, unless the action(s) by the person or group tran-scends into criminal activity. I use common sense and good old fashioned values, with religious overtones to conduct my actions, as well as my beliefs.

I ask each and every citizen of Polk County to look at the Sheriff candidates as just that – not a Democrat or a Republican. Be objective and non-partisan in your decision and make your choice.

Deceptive political advertisementsTo the Editor:

One of the most deceptive political attack advertisements I’ve seen is being run by the North Carolina Democratic Party. I have also received a mailing with the same inten-

tionally misleading informa-tion. The advertisements attack Jeff Miller for supporting a 23 percent sales tax. It goes on to state that he will eliminate the home mortgage interest deduc-tion and taxes on big corpora-tions. While all this is true, it leaves out some important information. The sales tax is to replace the income tax, which would eliminate the deduction

and taxes. I have not seen where Heath Schuler has endorsed these advertisements. I would like to see him repudiate this misinformation.

The tax mentioned is the “Fair Tax”. Information on this tax can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FairTax. A number of congressional committees have heard testi-mony on the Fair Tax. It has not

moved from committee since its introduction in 1999 and has yet to have any effect on the tax system. Our current tax system is broken. We need ideas like this to generate original thought in this area.

You can choose to ignore these egregious advertisements or you can investigate them. I prefer the latter approach.

Far cheaper to provide for future growth

Letter to the Editor To the Editor: to comment on the size of the building.

The fact that the majority of the commissioners voted in

favor of a plan that provided for future growth with some unoc-cupied offices was a very wise move on their part, and they should be highly commended for their decision rather than criticized.

In the past I have been in-volved in several major building programs, and it is far cheaper to provide for reasonable future growth than to construct addi-tional space at later date

Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by dean Campbell

William A. Mooney was known as a “go-getter” from the day he was born on January 10, 1818, until his death at 95 years of age in 1913.

A precocious childhood gave way to young adulthood as he completed his physician’s and surgeon’s training and earned his M.D. from the South Carolina Medical College in 1842.

Two years later, he was ap-pointed surgeon to the 1st Regi-ment of the 1st Brigade of the South Carolina Militia.

By 1846, he had wooed and won the hand and heart of Sarah Louise Camp of Tryon. He had bought a farm to supplement his physician’s earnings. The farm, home and adjacent office were located on the Rutherford Road just northwest of Cross Roads Baptist Church. His farm holdings would grow to encom-pass some 500 acres in future years.

The small, local area had a post office c a l l e d G o -w e n s v i l l e , which had been established in 1823 with Alfred Whitten as postmaster. Dr. Mooney became postmaster in 1847 and served for two years.

During the late 1840’s and early 1850’s, large Fourth of July celebrations were held in the area. Dr. Mooney was a favorite speaker and toastmaster for the patriotic occasions.

When sheep raising was gaining a foothold in this Up-country area in the late 1850’s, Dr. Mooney was very active in getting petition signers to request that the state legislature pass a law against free-roaming dogs, which had been killing the sheep.

Though a community activist who was not afraid to lead the fight in any worthwhile endeav-or, he was a God-fearing man and served as a deacon for Cross

Roads Baptist Church before it changed its name to Gow-ensville Baptist in 1873.

Poli t ical ly motivated, he served on sev-eral occasions as a commit-teeman for the Glassy Moun-tain Township D e m o c r a t i c Club.

He was a per-sonal friend to many men in state politics, especially Benjamin F. Perry, who became Governor. Perry was a guest in the Mooney home on a number of occasions, staying overnight when he was traveling in the area.

Dr. Mooney served a short stint in the South Carolina House of Representa-tives.

An ac t ive M a s o n , h e served as trea-surer of the Go-

wensville Lodge Ancient Free Masons No. 107.

As a successful farmer, he was instrumental in reporting yearly crop estimates in this area of the state for the agricultural industry.

As a local physician for al-most 75 years, he was directly involved in a number of Dark Corner incidents of violence.

In 1890, following the shoot-ing of Big Bill Howard by George R. Center, Dr. Mooney stayed with Big Bill from just after the shooting on Sunday afternoon until mid-morning on Monday. Realizing that Big Bill was near death, he sent for Trial Justice Mitchell to come and take the ante-mortem statement of Big Bill.

When Mitchell failed to ar-rive, Dr. Mooney had everyone leave the room. Then he asked

William A. Mooney...physician, patriot and community activist

Reuben Suddeth to come in as a witness. He then told Big Bill that he wanted him to make a true statement about the trouble be-tween him and George Center.

Big Bill stated he knew he was going to die. “George had accused me of trying to get Little Bill Howard to kill him,” Big Bill said. “I told him it was a damned lie, but that I had a mind to do it myself right now. I put my hand in my pocket for my knife and started to slide down from my mule. Before I hit the ground, George shot me.”

Dr. Mooney asked Big Bill if he and George had had previous troubles with each other. Big Bill said, “No.” (Later, at trial, witness William Moon corrobo-rated Big Bill’s statement of what happened, and George R. Center was found not guilty by reason of self defense.)

In 1893, Dr. Mooney was involved in inquests for two other violent incidents in the Dark Corner.

He participated as a physician and witness in the investigation of the Hensley Family Burning, and testified in the trial of Isaac Ballew for the murder of Thomas Lindsey.

His son, J. Alender Mooney, became an attorney and served as Trial Justice in the Gowens-ville portion of Glassy Moun-tain Township for a number of years.

the mooney homestead in Gowensville was a familiar residence beginning in the mid-1840s. it fell into such disrepair by the 1990’s, however, that it was deemed not restorable and was burned as a training site for local volunteer firemen. (photo submitted)
