very pro-solar,” Walker said. “We know Gilbert will protect his land and his neighbor’s land but that may not always be the case. I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be wise to have this as a conditional use.”

Major solar farms, or pan-els placed on 20 acres or more will require a conditional use permit, which means the ap-plication will first go to the zoning board of adjustment for approval and neighboring properties will be notified regarding the proposal.

The new language for solar energy generating facilities is allowed in the MU (multiple use) and I (industrial) zoning districts in the county.

All solar farms shall be completely enclosed with a six feet high black or green chain link fence or masonry wall or wooden fence that contains spacing no greater than six inches, states the new language.

Solar farms shall also be maintained in good working condition and be free from debris and nuisances. Where facilities are no longer uti-lized for energy generation for a period of six months or longer the property owner shal l have the panels and switch gear removed, states the zoning ordinance.

C o u n t y a t t o r n e y M i k e Egan said the ordinance will not affect residents who have solar panes for personal use.

Gasperson said he is in fa-vor of requiring a conditional use permit for both minor and major solar farms saying it’s a good neighbor process.

“If you have neighbors on board it’s not going to be a problem,” said Gasperson.

Commissioners held a pub-lic hearing with no comments made on Monday.

Gilbert’s proposal for his farmland in the MU district i s a 2 -megawa t t f ac i l i t y, which would include panels encompassing 12 to 15 acres of land and would supply enough energy for about 200 homes per year.

Gilbert said it will cost the company about $5 million to create the 2-megawatt facil-ity, so the county won’t see a lot of these energy generating facilities due to the cost of investment.

The benefits to farming families, Gilbert said, is solar farms will add secure income to the active farmer, an esti-mated $22,000 per year worth of income.

H e s a i d t h e p l i g h t o f farming families has been droughts , d i sease and in-creasing food and equipment costs and solar farms can be a new option for farmers.

Nor th Ca ro l i na pa s sed Senate Bill 3 in 2007 requir-ing that the state produce at least 12.5 percent of its own energy by 2021, which makes the state the first that is forcing the concept of be-ing green.

Obituaries

Margaret White Moffat

Margaret White Moffat was born on September 2, 1916 in Dayton, Ohio.

Her father, Mack White, worked on the local newspaper but had volunteered to be an infantry captain under General Blackjack Pershing in the Mexican American War at the time of her birth.

During her formative years she lived in Springfield, Cincinnati, Hillsboro and Toledo, Ohio, graduating from high school in 1924. She came south to attend the University of South Carolina in 1925 and met her husband, Banjo Smith, who was the sports editor for the Columbia Record newspaper.

They had two ch i ldren , Mickey and Jimmy, and lived in Columbia, S.C. until Margaret moved to Lake Sheila subsequent to Banjo’s dea th in 1975.

She built her house on Lake Sheila in 1977 and lived out her life there. She was active in the Saluda Presbyterian Church, DAR, Colonial Dames, Saluda Garden Club, Saluda Women’s Club and the N.C. Homemakers Association. She was a lover of books, opera and gardens.

She is survived by her two sons, Mickey and Jimmy Smith, her stepdaughter Dotty Eargle, and grandchildren and great grandchildren, too many to name.

Memorial service will be held 2 p.m. Thursday, October 18, 2012 in the Saluda Presbyterian Church, Saluda, NC with Rev. Jack Presseau officiating.

Instead of flowers that will eventually wilt and die, please make any donations in her name to the Saluda Senior Center that won’t wilt and die at 64 Greenville Street Saluda, N.C. 28773.

Judith Scruggs and Glenn Rodgers of the Hendersonville League of Women Voters, join us with information about im-migration and what it actually means to our country.

The League of Women Vot-ers adopted the study of Immi-gration in 2006 at its national convention. The national com-mit tee did i t s research in 2006-07, local Leagues across the country did their study in 2007-08 and reached a consen-sus in April 2008.

Since that time the Hender-son County League members have made numerous presen-tations to church, civic and public groups, including the Latino populat ion and the League’s national and state conventions. Recently, the

League has contacted local high schools to encourage them to consider this topic in their civics, US history, or social studies classes.

The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with an optional home-made veggie soup dinner, with bread and desert for a donation to the Hands of Change Youth Service Group. This will be followed at 6 p.m. by the free presentation on the heated topic of immigration.

Don’t miss this program held in the fellowship hall of the Congregational Church located at 210 Melrose Ave. in Tryon. For more informa-tion, call the Congregational Church Office 828-859-9414.

Letters to the Editor

New county leaders To the Editor: The recent Liberty ads and its

website support Republican candi-dates for local positions by telling untruths about Renee McDermott and Polk County government.

All three Republican candidates have stood silently by and accepted that support even trying to disavow any control over the ugly cartoons and website.

All three are friends with William Day, owner of the domain name for the Liberty website.

Two sat with Mr. Day at the re-cent public hearing on the UDO where people who tried to speak in favor of good land use planning were shouted down.

If the Republican can-didates for commissioner really disavow William Day’s support in this election, they should publicly denounce the ads and apologize for them since they amount to politics of personal destruction. Further, they should admit that the ads are false and that the spreading of untruths and hatred should have no part in Polk County government.

One of the Republican candidates has even labeled Renee McDermott as an “environmental extremist;” she is not. Renee was an environmental lawyer who counseled large busi-nesses like GM, Ford and Caterpillar

on how to comply with environmen-tal laws.

She organized Superfund clean-ups, again representing large busi-nesses. Large corporate clients do not hire environmental extremists.

However, Republican candidate Michael Gage, while on the Colum-bus Town Council, voted in favor of Columbus’ Mountain and Hillside Development Ordinance. Michael now calls Polk County’s ordinances extreme and “garbage” when in fact Columbus’ ordinance was much stricter than UDO’s draft.

Who is the real environmental extremist? Now our other two Repub-

lican candidates, Pack and Owens, have start-ed working toward re-pealing the Mountain and Ridgeline Protec-tion Ordinance before

there is anything to replace it. That would leave Polk County’s beautiful mountains with no protection at all. Are these the government leaders you want for Polk County?

Please think about the kind of future you want for Polk County when you vote for your county commissioners in the November election. Please vote for good, open, honest government and consider Renee McDermott, Emily Bartlett, and Russell Mierop for Polk County Commissioners.

– Steve King, Tryon

Comments at tryondailybulletin.comTryon Daily Bulletin posted

the article titled: “New state food ruls in effect for restau-rants”

fthillsart said: “Great! This makes me feel all warm and giddy inside. Are you going to tell me that in all the years we have had public restaurants, that we are just now figuring out how to make them safe? I see this B.S. as just another way to raise the expense of doing busi-

ness and lowering the chances of a businesses survival. Just what we need in this failing economy. Oh well, I guess all these regulations that we are continually bombarded with accomplish at least a couple of things. They insure that the beaurecrats justify their pay check each month and that they continue to have a government job. Wonder what they will do when we can no longer pay taxes to support them?

Ugly drama of politicsIt’s fair to say people are passionate about their politics and

sometimes that passion can lead to emotionally-charged remarks and ill-thought actions.

Just looking at this editorial page, though, one should be able to pick up on the fact that many voters are tired of the back-biting. Whether it be in relation to national, state or local elections, I believe your average voter is sick of, well, politics.

We’re sick of what he said or what she said. I know I’m sick of Big Bird and dressage horses being used as fodder for ugly campaigns trying to sway me to like one guy versus the other. We’re not living in a cartoon world, we’re living in reality and most of us are more concerned about those we care about having jobs that allow them to care for their families than we are about petty, insignificant talking points.

At the local level too people want to see candidates that are getting things done versus people who want to stir controversy. We want to see people who are honest about their desire to serve the public and who will talk truthfully about what it will take to get our counties, states and nation moving in healthy directions - Polk County voters make sure you know the issues and don’t allow yourself to get caught up in the drama of politics.

Hyperbole often confuses issues

To the editor:I take issue with Mark Bying-

ton’s letter to the editor in the Oct. 11th Bulletin, on several counts. He begins his letter with the statement, “Just a few years ago, a majority of the citizens of this county de-manded that the county take action to prevent rampant development of the areas that make Polk County a special place to live, work and

play.” I assume he is referring the to the Visioning Survey; however, if memory serves me, only 22 per-cent of the county’s citizens filled out the survey. A majority of those who responded did in fact indicate a desire to preserve the rural nature of the county (at all cost?) but that is equivalent to only 12-14 percent of the county. In my opinion the county went of “half cocked” in an aggressive move to impart the will

Clock ticking To the editor:The grandfather clock is

chiming. Have you heard of the WARN Act?

Well, I hadn’t either until yesterday. It is a federal law that requires employers to warn employees at least 60 days in advance of mass lay-offs. You got that – a Federal Law!

N o w L o c k h e e d Martin, for one, is fac-ing mass lay-offs as of Jan. 1 because of the looming sequestration cuts in defense spending. This would mean that pink slips would go out to thousands of employees just a few days before the elec-tion.

My goodness, Mr. Obama certainly doesn’t want that to happen so he has told these de-

Elections that make you smile or frown

To the editor:Philippians 2:3 “Do nothing

out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves”

I don’t know about you, but election campaigns based on running down the other guy, just don’t resonate with me.

This year, in ad-dition to the mud-slinging at the national level, it seems to have filtered down to our local race for County Commissioner. I winced when I saw those negative full-page ads in violation of GOD’s word.

Having worked with Renee McDermott, as a fellow Board member serving the Pacolet Area Conservancy, I came to respect her for her hard work and gentle-ness in dealing with the public in

fense contractors to ignore the WARN Act – ignore a federal law – and that the government, or, more precisely, We The People, will pay the fines, penalties and costs of any resulting lawsuits. Oh, but in order to be eligible for this “pay-off,” the employer must agree to play by the rules of the Department of Labor’s guidance

which asks them not to send out lay-off notices before the election. Lock-heed Martin has just agreed to this.

Now let me get this straight. The U.S. Government is going to use your tax money and mine to “bail out” Mr. Obama’s butt! Are you okay with that?

The grandfather clock is chim-ing – wake up America!

– Joan Puma, Columbus

the interest of conserving land for future generations.

Later, while serving on the County Planning Board, we recruited Renee for work on well water conservation during a serious drought. She brought many good suggestions to the table during committee meetings, again in the interest of others.

Currently, serving on the Polk Appearance Com-mission, I have had the good fortune to be working once again in the public interest with Renee.

She has displayed strength of integrity and character.

Her ideas are not self-serving, but she displays “humility” by valuing the opinion of others, while standing by her core prin-ciples.

Why do we find it necessary to malign others in the quest of “selfish ambition”? You tell me!

Letters to the Editor

Letters to the Editor

Who are you?To the editor:Who is the Polk For Liberty

Organization? I like propaganda, so I visited

the website for this group and found interesting quotes/comments by deceased people, well executed art work and persuasive language, but no names to put with the content. I like to know where propaganda comes from.

It helps me to decide how much, if any, I consider true or valid.

Along those lines, the Bulletin, in the recent past, decreed that all letters must be signed to indicate the person owning the content. Yet the Bulletin signs its editorials staff.

Who are you? Please let me know who is writing the persuasive opinion. Propaganda, persuasive language, has great value. It has more value if it is signed and has a tangible source. Choose your propaganda carefully. And strongly consider the source.

– Garland Rice, Tryon

To McDermott and commissioners -  an open apology

Regretfully, I believe this letter must be written on behalf of the Polk County Citizens who find de-plorable the contention that con-tinually swirls around the County Commissioner’s Office. The last provocation was the purulent ads that attacked Renee Mcdermitt.

“That which diminishes one of us diminishes all of us”. Un-fortunately, our country has had to enact laws against hate crimes, bullying and violence. It is the same lack of civility and interper-sonal insensitivity that is generat-ing these attacks, and ultimately

necessitates laws for land usage and other externally enforced constraints on intrusive behavior. Left unchecked we are all the less for it, and this wretched behavior results in the loss of liberty for all.

I wish to enter an apology of behalf the people who generated these ads, those who saw them and those who seem to benefit from them.

It has been suggested to me that this is just politics, but the dignity and honesty with which we conduct our business is as important as the concerns we address and the outcomes of our deliberations.

Please accept my apology,– Catherine Myton,

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis presents an award from the Polk County Fire Chief’s Association during a retirement party for Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Tennant. From left: Green Creek Chief Tarrance Randolph, Columbus Asst. Chief Tony Priester, Davis, Columbus Deputy Chief Bobby Arledge, and Saluda Assistant Chief Shane Hamilton. (photo submitted)

the position since 1982. He has served as firefighter for 35 years and retired as an educator after 30 years of service. Tennant is currently the chair of the Polk County School Board.

Tennant joined the Colum-bus Fire Department in the mid-1970s. Then, the depart-ment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of fire trucks. Today, the depart-ment has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several associate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“I don’t think you can under-stand how much the people in this room mean to me,” Tennant told those in attendance.

Tennant was lured to Tryon Estates that evening by a fire alarm activation at the retire-ment community in Columbus. The fire alarm call was nothing new to Tennant, but soon after entering the room, Tennant re-alized the setup as he was met with a standing ovation.

“It was the only way we could get him here,” said Co-lumbus Deputy Fire Chief Bobby Arledge. “If we told him we were having a retirement party, he wouldn’t have shown

up. If it’s a fire call, we know he’s coming.”

Arledge will take over the chief position at the beginning of the year.

Tennant was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, along with several other presen-tations from many of the service agencies Tennant has worked closely with over the years. Those in attendance included all Polk County emergency service and law enforcement agencies, mutual aid fire depart-ments and Regional One.

“The opportunity to work with him in so many roles has been incredible,” said Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “He has been a colleague, my fire chief and most importantly, my friend.”

Davis served as the Polk County Fire Marshal and later as deputy chief at the Columbus Fire Department before taking the Tryon fire chief position.

Tennant expressed surprise when presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, which has also been awarded to Bob Timberlake, Charles Kuralt and fellow University of North Carolina Alumnus, Mi-chael Jordan. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven

of 12-14 percent of the county’s citizens on the remaining 86-88 percent, and close the doors of the county to those evil developers, forever!

Yes, the commissioners spent a lot of time and money creating the Comprehensive Plan based on the desires of 12-14 percent of citizens. This was followed by the costly and time consuming effort to create a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), in order to put some teeth in the Comprehensive Plan. The ensuing controversy over the UDO has resulted in the Commissioners choosing not to enact it at this time.

This has been a painful process for all those who served on the UDO committee, the planning board, and

most definitely the County Com-mission. I think this was largely due to the fact that the Visioning Survey was a flawed effort...just not enough respondents. Consequently, it did not truly reflect the desires of the majority of the county.

However, I believe some good has come out of all this; and, as both sides work together we will hopefully come up with less restric-tive, more reasonable regulations regarding land use. I haven’t seen any evidence of our farms being turned into parking lots. I should also point out that our building official continues to do a masterful job of preventing our mountainsides from turning into mudslides (he had nothing to do with Chocolate Drop)....but then, hyperbole often confuses issues.

A 2001 graduate of R-S Central High School and native of Polk County has returned to Western North Carolina to join the medi-cal staff of Rutherford Regional Health System.

Dr. Kenneth Sauve, anesthesi-ologist, began seeing patients last summer.

“I grew up in Polk County and graduated from R-S Central,” Sauve said.

Sauve said returning to the foot-hills had been a goal of his since he began medical school.

“I wanted to stay in North Carolina,” he said. “My parents are here, and I love this area. It’s good to be back here.”

When he first went away to col-lege, practicing medicine wasn’t necessarily his goal, Sauve said.

“I just always liked science,” he said.

While a student, he served as a volunteer emergency medical technician with Polk County First Responders.

“It was a really good way for me to see if medicine was my interest,” he said.

Sauve, who pronounces his name suh-vay, received his under-graduate degree from the Univer-sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received his doctor of medicine degree from Wake For-est University School of Medicine. He completed an internship in preliminary general surgery at

New Hanover Regional Medi-cal Center in Wilmington, N.C. and his residency in anesthesiol-ogy at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C. He is a resident member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, the International Anesthesia Research Society and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine.

Sauve is the son of Ken and Teresa Sauve of Columbus.

He said returning to Western North Carolina will allow him to take part in some of his favorite activities outside of the medical center.

“I am planning to go fishing and hunting,” he said. “I really like the outdoors.”

Sauve joins Dr. Scott Kirk-patrick and Dr. Maggie Bell as Rutherford Regional’s third anes-thesiologist.

Highest telecommunicators professional certificate

The North Carolina Sher-iffs’ Education and Training Standards Commission awarded the Advanced Telecommunica-tor Certificate (ATC) to Officer James Burton McGuinn of the Polk County Communications on Sept. 12.

The North Carolina Sheriffs’ Education and Training Stan-dards Commission (NCSETS) was established in September 1983. The purpose of NCSETS is to upgrade the capabilities, competence, and proficiency of sheriffs’ departmental personnel through programs, standards, and procedures involving em-ployment, improvement, career development, and retention of the sheriffs’ office personnel.

The NCSETS currently maintains certification files on over 16,000 deputy sheriffs, detention officers and telecommunicators.

The purpose of the Advanced Telecommunicator Certificate (ATC) is to recognize the level of competence of telecommunicators serving the North Carolina Sher-iffs’ offices, to foster increased interest in college education and professional law enforcement training programs and to attract highly qualified individuals into a law enforcement career.

The ATC is the highest Profes-sional Certificate awarded to tele-communicators in North Carolina. To qualify for the ATC, officers must complete a combination of professional training and relevant education, as well as, meet mini-mum experience requirements.

Three new art classes taught by award-winning artist, Don Blackwell will begin in October at Isothermal Community College Polk Center.

If you’d like to learn how to create beautiful artwork using ink as your medium, sign up for Blackwell’s Pen & Ink class. You can learn basic pen techniques such as solid black lines, gray tones, parallel lines, value changes, cross-hatching, patterns, implied lines, stippling and spattering. Students will receive clear and concise instruction in the techniques and materials used and will complete at least two finished drawings. Beginning and intermediate draw-ing or equivalent training are pre-requisites for this class. The class will meet each Wednesday from 9 a.m. to noon for eight weeks start-ing Oct. 24.

On Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon, starting Oct. 25, Blackwell will teach an Open Studio class, sharing techniques and guiding students on any projects they are currently working on.

Want to further develop your drawing skills? Join Blackwell for the Intermediate Drawing class meeting each Friday from 9 a.m. to noon for eight weeks starting Oct. 26. Become familiar with different types of media used in drawing and

be ready to move on to the next level with pen & ink and multime-dia drawing. Beginning drawing or equivalent previous experience is a prerequisite for this class.

One of Blackwell’s students, Anne Dempsey said, “I strongly recommend that anyone who thinks they do not have drawing skills to take one of Don’s classes. He can bring out the artist in anyone.”

Born in Hendersonville, Black-well spent 25 years in Alaska and considers it his other home. His originals and prints are in three museums, the Ministry of Defense in Winnipeg, Canada and Ministry of Defense in Moscow, Russia, the Pentagon and more. After an im-pressive 25-year Air Force career, Blackwell is enjoying civilian life and being a college art teacher. Married to Phoebe Blackwell, they have raised their five kids and are enjoying five beautiful grandchildren.

A versatile artist, Blackwell’s works are done in pen and ink, wa-tercolor, airbrush, oil and colored pencil. He also creates in wood.

For more information, or to register for these or other classes, call Isothermal Community Col-lege Polk Center at 828-894-3092.

Arts Center on Sunday, Nov. 4.There are two casts, one

for the North Carolina schools and one for the South Carolina schools. Each cast member plays multiple roles.

Join the Pacolet Area Conser-vancy (PAC) on Friday, Oct. 19, for a 3-mile, moderate hike at DuPont State Forest, the third hike of PAC’s Fall Hiking Series. PAC Land Protection Specialist, Pam Torlina, will lead the loop hike to Cedar Rock Mountain.

The hike begins with a steady ascent leading to a large granite dome with excellent views of the Pisgah Mountain Range to the west. Rising only 200’ feet above

the surrounding plateau, Cedar Rock Mountain contains some of the most exposed granite anywhere in the region. After reentering the forest, the trail will parallel the Little River. The trail crosses Tom’s Creek and continues to parallel to the Little River for about a mile, before leading hikers back to the start.

If you are interested in attend-ing the PAC hike to Cedar Rock Mountain, please contact the PAC

office to sign up by phone at 828-859-5060 or e-mail, [email protected].

Hikers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear; bring a bag lunch and/or snack and plenty of water. Please be sure to bring any personal medication that you may require. Hikers should be prepared to return to the area by 3 p.m., at the latest. In case of inclement weather, please contact the PAC office by 8:15 a.m. on the day of

the hike to see if the hike will take place.

Hikers will be meeting at the Columbus Bi-Lo at 8:30 a.m. to start the approximate one-hour drive to the trailhead.

Visit www.pacolet.org or go to PAC’s Facebook page for informa-tion on upcoming hikes. The next hike is scheduled for Nov. 2 to John Rock in Pisgah National Forest.

Thermal Belt Outreach Min-istry (Outreach) is gearing up for its annual firewood pro-gram, asking the community to donate wood and to volunteer for this program.

“Last year we distributed more than 80 loads of wood to our clients,” said Carol Newton, Outreach’s Executive Director. “The wood that we provide can mean the difference between paying a heating bill and having food on the table.”

“The firewood program is an invaluable resource to our clients, as many of them use wood-burning stoves to heat their homes during the winter months and use fire places or wood-burning stoves to cook their meals throughout the year,” said Jim McClintock, who oversees the firewood program.

“Stocking up on wood at this time of year will help ensure that we have enough to dis-

tribute to our clients during the colder months ahead.”

Outreach also needs volun-teers from churches, students, scouts, service clubs and other organizations to help by do-nating their time, tools, and labor to saw, split and stack the wood for storage and to cut the wood to the appropriate size for stoves and fireplaces.

“Volunteers remain a huge need for this program. We cur-rently have many large logs that need to be cut down to size and then split and stacked for distribution and use,” said McClintock.

To learn more about this program and how you can help, contact Outreach Volunteer Coordinator Anna McClure, at 828-894-2988. Or visit www.tboutreach.org to learn more about Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry.

Dinner held Wednesday, Oct. 24

Much has changed since the early 1970s when Tryon’s United Methodist Men served up their first steak dinner, but the tradi-tion born that year continues today.

On Wednesday, Oct. 24, the aroma of cooking steaks will once again waft up New Market Road as the members of Tryon United Methodist Church offer their 40th annual Steak Dinner.

Over the years, volunteers contributed different skills and their own special tools. For thirty years, John McGuinn employed a spatula he had used in World War II to serve up thou-sands of helpings of hash for his fellow soldiers. He and his grill mates developed a system that permitted them to cook steaks

to order while others served up the salad, baked potato, rolls and desserts. It’s a system that works well today.

This year, one of the current chefs, Tom Kell, will wheel in his own new tool – a very busi-nesslike grill that he plans to position just outside the church kitchen to supplement the efforts of his fellow chefs inside. Meals will be served in the fellowship hall from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Chil-dren’s plates and take-outs will also be available.

Tickets may be purchased in advance at Cowan’s Hardware, Owen’s Pharmacy, the Columbus Flower Cottage and the church office. Remaining tickets will be sold at the door. For more information, call the church at 859-9218.

Fifteen Thermal Belt volun-teers became the newest induct-ees into the Second Wind Hall (SWHF) of Fame, following a luncheon recently in the Tryon Estates dining room, raising the current total membership to 182.

The three longest serving members of SWHF, who also were present, are Nell Deaver (in-ducted in 1982), Queenie Thurber and Tah Flack (both in 1984).

Established in 1974, the Sec-ond Wind Hall of Fame is a Thermal Belt organization whose mission is to provide recognition of retirees, 60 years and over, for outstanding service to their community. This is to encourage and provide incentives for other retirees to do likewise. The objec-tive is to help retirees realize that retirement is an opportunity for continued, and even greater, ser-vice to community and mankind.

New members inducted this year, and their sponsor organi-zations, include: Dave Warden, Foothills Equestrian Nature Cen-ter; Dean Gregory, Habitat for Humanity; Marian Bosien, St Luke’s Hospital; Alan Batchelder, Habitat for Humanity; Caroline Ann Brown, Tryon Presbyterian Church; Mary Ellen Krydynski,

Habitat for Humanity; Helen Gilbert, Steps to Hope; Theron Goodwin, Habitat for Humanity; Ann Mims Wilkins, Tryon Pres-byterian Church; James Truck, Habitat for Humanity; Shelvie Foust, Green Blades Garden Club; Elizabeth (Betsy) Zeek, Tryon Estates Community; Lou-ise Cochran, Columbus Lions Club; Patricia Gass, Tryon Fine Arts Center; and Paul Nelson, by Eloise Johnson and Rotary Club of Tryon.

To qualify for induction, an outstanding retired volunteer, 60 or over, will have served in three different organizations for at least three years, and be sponsored by one of them.

To inquire about initiating a nomination or to obtain an appli-cation blank for a nominee, call Larry Poe at 894-6159 or email [email protected].

The principal speaker, Andy Millard, is a very active com-munity volunteer and a frequent marathon runner. He likened the “second wind” concept to the long distance runner’s experience of regaining the strength to finish the last miles of the race. Not having a “finish line” to reach for, community volunteers still

enjoy the satisfaction of knowing their daily efforts will make the world just a little better place for

themselves and for their children.– article submitted

Rhyme orReason

by Rodney Gibson

Our success as a Nation and our success as human beings is complex. If you’re looking for simple solutions or approaches to our human existence that universally apply all the time, then you should have been Adam or Eve. That’s the last time that things were simple. If you want a simple analogy to life, think about a football game. There are times when you have to play offense and there are times when you have to play defense. The reality is that you have to play both if you are going to be successful. And no strategy is going to last all season long – you’ll have to continually adjust.

We are now and have been engaged in a growing, com-petitive “Global” economy since President Ronald Reagan declared that we were a “service economy” back in the early 1980s. As a nation our weakness has and continues to be the same weakness that last year’s “World Series” or “Super Bowl winner” has. We begin to believe we’re as great and invincible as the press releases and politicians declare. That doesn’t mean we aren’t resourceful and have great individual talent. It just means that we are not mentally ready to win the next game or championship.

While we have deluded our-selves in the last 30 or so years, the rest of the world has been playing both offense and de-

fense to protect themselves from US economic power.They have worked to erect barri-ers such as value added taxes (VAT) systems and regulatory structures that make it difficult for US exports to f low in to their countries. VAT structures make US prod-ucts more ex-pensive to the tune of 20 – 30 percent in places like China. And regulatory structures impede the flow of ba-sic raw materials and chemicals into the EU (European Union Countries), China, S. Korea, Japan and many other countries. There are active laws that actu-ally regulate the manufacturing processes of US plants. If we don’t manufacture within the criteria setup, then the prod-ucts cannot be sold into these countries.

An example: If I were a small manufacturer of a household cleaning product and wanted to sell my product into the EU or China, I’d have to meet some-thing called REACH – a set of chemical substance rules and regulations. Additionally, I’d have to pay VAT on the product. Simply put, I’d have to:

• register each individual substance or chemical in my product (count the number of substances in your household cleaner to get an idea),

• perform toxicological tests

($150,000 per substance), • ensure that my customers

don’t use my product in unap-proved situations,

• provide my customers with reams of data on what the test data shows,

• ensure that my suppliers provide me registered and ap-

proved chemi-cals to make my products, and

• manufac-ture my prod-ucts in compli-

ance with “good manufacturing processes” that meet the host countries requirements.

And then after that, I’d have to pay VAT taxes equal to about 18 percent of the value of my product in addition to customs and tariff fees.

So what does a company that manufactures products in China have to do:

• Check the US lists to deter-mine if the substances in their product are approved – lists built and maintained by our government (in the interest of Free Trade),

• Pay the customs and tariff fees and sell much cheaper prod-ucts into the US marketplace for at least 30 percent less in taxes than US companies pay to export into my country.

We’ve been trained to be-lieve it is all about labor costs. It is not. Labor costs in the US usually come in at 12 – 16 percent of costs and the Ameri-can worker is ten times more productive than the Chinese. If

Offense or defense? a poor, country boy from one of the poorest counties in West Virginia can understand it, then there is no excuse for “Wall Street and Washington” to keep ignoring the fact that the playing field is not level.

Other countries have ad-opted structural changes that we haven’t because we’ve been focused on “free trade” not fair trade. There is a point where it doesn’t matter that you’re the most creative and productive society on the face of the earth. You still have to market and sell your “products/services” globally if you’re going to be successful. We have been losing this game now for decades and based on what I hear from any of the political and economic leadership debating in this elec-tion season, we are going to continue to lose this game and the big losers will continue to be the middle class.

For some unexplainable rea-son, we think that getting China to float their currency is what is needed. It won’t and can’t make up for the tax and regula-tory structures that have been “legally” built by our trading partners over the years to pun-ish US manufacturers. We’ve actually been reducing taxes to those that import into our economy and tearing down the regulatory structures that might help level the playing field for our working people. I guess it’s a whole lot easier to just whine about unions and entitlements instead of playing good offense and defense.

South arrived at what looks like a normal four heart contract and received the jack of spades opening lead from west. However, based on east’s diamond preempt and west’s not leading a diamond put declarer on alert that what looks like an easy game to bring home, may not be that easy. De-clarer, looking at two trump loser and one spade loser, realizes that if the trumps break 3-0 and the opponents “manufacture” a third trump winner he may go down to defeat.

Based on this assumption, de-clarer delays drawing trumps and adopts a plan that will hopefully sever communications between the defenders to thwart a pos-sible diamond ruff with the small trump. Since west’s lead of the spade jack indicated that east may hold the queen, declarer resorted to plan of repeated “finesses” in

clubs to reduce the chances of west reaching east via the spade suit and prevent a diamond ruff from taking place.

To execute his plan declarer won the opening lead with the ace, cashed the ace of clubs and continued the suit with the seven. If east played low declarer would discard a spade from his hand. If east played high, declarer would trump, play one round of trumps, and win the spade continuation in the dummy with the king to lead another club for his spade discard when east could not beat dummy’s nine. Whatever west plays, de-clarer ruffs and draws trumps.

Obviously declarer was for-tunate that east didn’t have two clubs higher than the dummy’s. However, without advanced plan-ning declarer would have had no chance at all on the lie of the cards.

Stephanie Oder, RN, BSN, LNHA, will facilitate a jointly-sponsored, special class, Decon-structing Dementia, hosted by Adawehi Institute, Oct. 23, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Oder, the director of Gero-psychiatric Services at Mary Black Hospital in Spartanburg, designed this dynamic course for all caregivers and professionals who seek greater insight and skill. Nurses and social work-ers will earn four Continuing Education Credits (CEUs) for the four-hour class, which will meet at Adawehi Institute, off Fox Mountain Road, at 93 Adawehi Lane in Columbus.

The morning session, from 10 a.m. until noon, focuses on understanding the stages and characteristics of dementia. Following a one-hour break for lunch provided by Beneficial Foods, participants will practice hands-on methods for approach-ing and interacting with someone

with dementia. Proven tools for dealing with difficult behaviors will be demonstrated and dis-cussed.

The following sponsors will be on site to provide valuable resources to attendees: Bayada Home Health Care, Golden Liv-ing Centers, Hospice of the Caro-lina Foothills, Simply Home, White Oak of Tryon, St. Luke’s Hospital and Meridian Senior Living.

Oder’s approach to caring for elders with dementia has been described as a holistic blend of traditional medical ap-proaches and newer behavioral approaches. Credited with being a pioneer in this region’s culture change movement for eldercare, Oder said, “My intent is to coach those providing care to connect with the person first, rather than to focus only on the disease.”

For more information on the course or to register, call 828-894-2143.The cost of the course

Hospice is cooking up big fundraiser fun — just in time for holiday shopping. If some-one on your gift list is a wiz in the kitchen, join the Pampered Chef and Tupperware Party at the Congregational Church, located at 210 Melrose Avenue in Tryon on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at 7 p.m.

From sippy cups to classic bowls, cookie pans to cut-ting boards, a portion of each purchase goes to support the Hospice TLC Fund. The aptly-named TLC Fund is used to offer patients quality-of-life pleasant or practical perks at a time when they need them the most. Gifts may include tickets to a play or movie, blankets or fans, a shower handrail or a front porch ramp. And in some cases, airfare to help bring a loved one home to the patient’s

bedside.The TLC Fund is in par-

ticular need at this time. It is completely comprised of pri-vate donations, and receives no contributions or supplementary monies from government or grant sources. That means your participation in this fundraiser will be extra meaningful.

Get ready for an evening of demonstrations, snacks, re-freshments, door prizes, music and lively conversation. RSVP is required so the organizers can order the appropriate amount of food and party supplies.

Register, by calling Diane McEntee at 828-894-5951 or Gail Benner at 828-894-5725, and leave a message stating your name and how many will be in your party.

Everyone occasionally feels ‘blue’ or sad, but these feelings are usually short-lived and pass within a couple of days. Depres-sion is diagnosed when these feelings intensify and interfere with daily life. Depression is a common but serious condition that affects all ages. Treatment for depression may involve life-style changes, counseling and medication.

Signs and symptoms of de-pression include; persistent sad, anxious or ‘empty’ feelings; irritability, loss of interest in participating in activities that once were pleasurable; fatigue, decreased energy, difficulty con-centrating and making decisions. Depression may also involve

What is depression?

sleep disruption, change in ap-petite and thoughts of suicide. Physical symptoms may include; aches, pains, headaches or diges-tive problems that do not improve with treatment.

Other illnesses often co-exist with depression such as heart dis-ease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and Parkinson’s disease. When de-pression is diagnosed along with these illnesses, the symptoms of both may be more severe. Treat-ment of depression can improve symptoms of the physical illness.

Depression occurs through-

out the lifespan. A child who is depressed may refuse to go to school, complain of physical illness, cling to a parent, get into trouble at school and become irri-table or anxious. Adolescents of-ten experience depression along with anxiety, eating disorders or substance abuse. Throughout life, situational stressors may lead to depression. The length and sever-ity of symptoms determine the need for treatment.

Depression is not a normal part of aging. Studies show that depression in older adults may be overlooked because seniors may show different, less obvious signs of the condition and may be less likely to share symptoms with medical professionals.

There is effective treatment available for even the most severe cases of depression. The first step

Journey to wellness

by Laura Ellington

is to share symptoms with a doc-tor or mental health professional. Counseling and therapeutic sup-port is a valuable tool in treat-ing depression. Antidepressant medication may be prescribed and should be taken as directed under a doctor’s supervision.

More information about de-pression can be found at www.nimh.nih.gov or locally at the Polk Wellness Center in Colum-bus, NC. Polk Wellness offers an integrated model provid-ing primary medical care and mental health services, as well as substance abuse, prevention, education, wellness and recovery support in an atmosphere of re-spect for all. PWC accepts clients with most insurance plans as well as those without insurance. Call 828-894-2222 for more informa-tion and appointments.

Wasn’t 1957 just last year? No! Well, we need not think of the number of years; we need to meet with our high school classmates and imagine each other as we were then; young, excited about life and most of

all looking to the future. The Tryon High School

Class of 1957 plans to gather Saturday, Oct. 20, about 2 p.m. We will reminisce and look with high hopes to the future as we did in 1957. The group

will meet at the Tryon Youth Center, 2969 Highway 176 N. If you were a member of the Class of 1957 at any time, we invite you to come.

For more information, con-tact Madelyn Dedmondt Meyer

([email protected], cell 828-384-1819) or Sadie Hudson McKaig ([email protected], cell 828-817-1459) Looking forward to seeing everyone.
