The iPad was recently purchased in par t using funds from an “Elementary Seeds for Education” grant from The Polk County Community Foundation.

The purpose of the fund is to motivate teachers and students to reach for academic excellence in the classroom. (photo submitted by Julie Wilson)

Sheriff’s office arrests local man on marijuana, pill chargesby Leah Justice

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office arrested an area man last week for felony possession of marijuana and possession of il-legal prescription medication.

Robert Lewis Simpson Jr. of 185 Abrams Moore Road, Ruth-erfordton, N.C. was arrested and charged with felony possession with intent to manufacture/sell/deliver marijuana, possession of a schedule IV controlled substance and possession of drug parapher-nalia, according to sheriff’s office reports.

Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill said Simpson was arrested following a traffic stop in Green Creek on Dec. 31.

Simpson was released from jail on a $5,000 bond.

ing cocaine, but because some of the medication being sold con-tained the same type of substances, that is the charge associated with the crime.

Hill said the two students are under the age of 16 so cannot be named.

The Polk County School Sys-tem and the sheriff’s office each conducted investigations into the alleged selling of prescription pills.

Hill said school system of-ficials alerted the sheriff’s office of the alleged pill selling and were very cooperative.

The case was turned over to the N.C. Juvenile Justice De-partment Delinquency Division, which determined that charges for the two students were warranted. The students made a first appear-ance in court on Tuesday, Jan. 3.

The case will be heard in Polk County Juvenile Court, and charg-es were handled by the county’s juvenile officer.

Anderson bowls perfect 300 while Carolina Keglers watch

Something special hap-pened on Wednesday, Jan. 4 during the Carolina Keglers’ regular bowling session, ac-cording to Mike Davidson of the Keglers.

Bob Anderson, owner of Autumn Lanes in Forest City, N.C., where the Keglers bowl, treated the crowd to a display of bowling prowess. His first game was a very respect-able 228, finishing with three strikes in the10th frame.

He was just getting warmed up. He bowled 12 strikes in a row in the second game for a perfect 300. The Keglers and other onlookers erupted with cheers, applause and congratu-lations.

But he had more. Ander-son bowled strikes in the first nine frames of his third game and watchers won-dered if he could possibly roll two perfect games back to back. Anderson opened with another strike in the 10th. The audience held its breath, watching his smooth delivery. His ball hit just a little high and left one lone pin standing. The audience groaned, then applauded. He picked up that spare for a 289.

Anderson’s three-game se-ries netted 817 pins. He rolled 25 strikes in a row.

“Bob is a great guy and has helped many of our Carolina Keglers with our bowling over the years,” said Kegler Mike Davidson. “Watching his per-formance was inspiring.”

The results of the Keglers’ bowling that day are as fol-lows:

Women’s high game 1. Gerri Reitz - 174 2. Karen Andersson - 166

Women’s high series 1.Gerri Reitz - 470 2.Karen Andersson - 422

Men’s high game 1.Henry Zahn - 162 2.Dave Ritchie - 159

Men’s high series 1.Mike Davidson - 452 2.Walt Flaschar - 435

Most pins over average Karen Andersson +30 Gerri Reitz +26The Carolina Keglers have

room for new bowlers. This is a low-key fun league for adults over 50 who want a little recreation. The group bowls on Wednesday mornings at 10 a.m. at Autumn Lanes in Forest City.

Anyone wishing to join the Keglers should contact Mike Davidson at 894-5823 or email [email protected]. Members are asked to call Da-vidson when they cannot bowl.

Building activity in November boosts N.C. economic indexAn increase in building ac-

tivity helped improve economic conditions in North Carolina in November, according to the North Carolina State University (NCSU) economic index.

The NCSU Index of North Carolina Leading Economic Indicators jumped 1.9 percent in November compared to Oc-tober. It was the second straight month that the index rose, and it also showed an improvement over last year. The index was up 1.3 percent compared to November 2010.

The improvement in No-vember was due, in part, to a 40-percent rise in the num-ber of building permits issued compared to October. Building permits were also up nearly 26 percent compared to November of 2010.

All five components of the index, which was created by NCSU economist Michael Walden, showed improvement in November. Unemployment claims were down 13.8 per-cent compared to October and down 7.5 percent compared to November 2010. Hours worked and earnings also rose slightly for North Carolina employees in manufacturing in November compared to both the previous month and the same time last year.

Walden said the rising index indicates the state should see a continued economic turnaround this year.

“It certainly doesn’t mean we’re going to see the unem-ployment rate go down to 5 percent, but it looks like we may start the year with a more robust economy than we’re used to,” said Walden.

He adds that he expects the state’s unemployment rate will fall from 10 percent currently to 9 percent later this year.

“I’m predicting we’ll see 40,000 to 50,000 jobs created in North Carolina in 2012, com-

pared to the 20,000 created in 2011,” he said.

Walden’s report showed mixed results in the state’s real estate market. The strongest performance in November was seen in the mountains region, where sales were up 2 percent and prices were up an average of 4 percent over October. Av-erage prices were also up in the coastal plains region and the piedmont re-gion, rising on average 2 per-cent and 1 percent, respectively. However, sales were down 7 percent in the Coastal Plains and 8 percent in the Piedmont.

UNC-Chapel Hill is the best value among all public universities in the nation, ac-cording to Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine.

UNC-Chapel Hill, which has an undergraduate enroll-ment of 18,579, topped the magazine’s annual ranking for the 11th consecutive year.

Kiplinger said UNC-Chapel Hill has a highly competitive admission rate (32 percent) and low student-faculty ratio (14), which contribute to the univer-sity’s high four-year graduation rate (76 percent). The magazine also says UNC-Chapel Hill has a “moderate sticker price” ($17,628 total in-state cost) and offers generous financial aid. An average of about $11,000 in aid annually is provided to students who qualify. The aver-age debt at graduation from the university is $16,165.

The university also ranks as the no. 1 value for out-of-state students, says Kiplinger. The average need-based aid for out-of-staters is $11,080, reducing the total cost to

$26,374. Other North Carolina public

universities also made Kip-linger’s top 100 list this year. UNC-Wilmington came in 15th, N.C. State University was 19th, Appalachian State was 33rd and North Carolina School of the Arts was 41st.

UNC-Asheville came in 45th for in-s ta te and 60th for out-of-state. The ranking showed UNC-Asheville has

an admission rate of 77 percent and a four-year graduation rate of 30 percent. The total cost per year for in-state students at UNC-Asheville is $13,645 and the average debt at graduation is $15,443.

Among private universities in the country, Kiplinger placed three North Carolina institu-

tions on its top 200 list. Duke University had the highest ranking at seventh, followed by Wake Forest at 26th and Elon at 34th. Duke had an admission rate of 19 percent, a student-faculty ratio of eight and a four-year graduation rate of 87 percent. The average total cost per year at Duke was $55,245 and the average debt at gradua-tion, after subtracting financial aid, was $21,884.

In South Carolina, Clemson had the highest ranking of public universities, coming in 34th. USC-Columbia was 57th and College of Charleston was 61st. Clemson had an average admission rate of 63 percent and a four-year graduation rate of 50 percent.

Around the Region



***The North Carolina Center

for Creative Retirement at UNC Asheville has received a $2 million endowment that’s expected to provide $80,000 to $100,000 annually.

The endowment, provided by the Bernard Osher Founda-tion, will help expand class offerings at the center, along with programs designed to help seniors transition from work to retirement.

The center, which has close to 1,700 members, already of-fers more than 285 classes on a wide range of topics, rang-ing from Bud-dhism to quilting. The North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement will become part of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, which has a network of 119 other institutes across the country.

“By becoming part of the Os-her Lifelong Learning Institutes network, we secure our place in the national conversation about learning in the second half of life,” said the center’s executive director Catherine Frank. “We will preserve what is unique about the North Carolina Center for Creative Retirement, which are our life transition and civic programs, and we will be able to strengthen our College of Seniors, which has been so vital to so many Asheville retirees.”

Frank said the funds will help make up for the loss of state funds, which are about one-third what they were in the 2008-2009 budget year. The center, housed in the Reuter Center at UNC-Asheville, gets most of its funding from participant fees and relies heavily on help from volunteers.

The Buncombe County Sheriff’s Department plans to convert 10 of its patrol cars to run on propane to reduce expenses and emissions. Con-verting the Ford Crown Victo-rias will cost about $5,800 per vehicle, which will be covered by a Department of Energy grant administered through the Virginia Clean Cities Coalition.

Buncombe County Sheriff Van Duncan says the conver-sion will lower his department’s fuel costs and provide cleaner-burning cars without a “no-ticeable” difference in vehicle performance. The county says it expects to save at least $1 a

gallon in fuel costs.

Buncombe County’s 10 converted pa-

trol cars will be part of a na-tionwide trend. The Southeast Propane Autogas Development Program says it will convert 1,195 vehicles to run on pro-pane autogas conversions by the spring of 2012.

The average annual wages for the new jobs will exceed the Cleveland County average annual wage of $32,344, ac-cording to the N.C. Governor’s Office. Baldor began in 1983 building electric motors in Kings Mountain, where it cur-rently employs 530.

The company says its ex-panded operations will help it keep up with growing demand for wind-powered technology.

***Greenville County had the

most fatal vehicle accidents of any county in South Carolina last year, according to the S.C. Department of Public Safety. The state says 53 people died in vehicle acci-dents in Green-ville County in 2011. Lexing-ton County was second with 51 deaths. Statewide, there were 810 people killed in vehicle ac-cidents in 2011, up slightly from 801 in 2010.

The number of deaths was still well below the 2007 total of 1,052. Law enforcement authorities attribute the decline to a stricter seat belt law. While the number of people who died in vehicle accidents went down from 591 in 2010 to 559 in 2011, the number of pedestrians killed on state roads jumped nearly 20 percent to 110.

According to Transportation for America, South Carolina is ranked as the second most dangerous state for pedestrians with 981 pedestrian deaths from 2000 to 2009.

The number of people killed riding motorcycles also rose in South Carolina from 82 in 2010 to 102 in 2011. One state lawmaker has proposed a bill to require motorcycle riders to wear a helmet, but it’s unclear how much support it will have. Last year, the S.C. Supreme Court rejected a city ordinance to require bikers to wear hel-mets in Myrtle Beach.

***A panel of three doctors will

determine whether Henderson County Sheriff Rick Davis will be allowed to retire for medical reasons, according to the N.C. Treasurer’s Office, which oversees the state’s retirement system.

Davis announced in November he suffers from manic bipolar dis-order, and he recently informed the Henderson County Board of Com-missioners that he plans to seek a medical retirement by the end of this month. Davis said he was ad-vised by his doctor to leave his job. County commissioners have been demanding more information from Davis regarding his behavior and a

$5,000 deduct-ible the county paid for a legal claim involv-ing Davis and

a female law enforcement officer. However, Davis has not answered questions from commissioners.


***Hunters in North Carolina will

now have a chance to hunt feral swine at night. The N.C. Wild-life Resources Commission will allow the night hunting with the aid of light with a special permit.

The commission says hunters who obtain the permit in ad-dition to a hunting license can hunt feral swine after normal shooting hours, a half hour before sunrise and a half hour past sun-set, where allowed by local law. Hunting by firearms on Sunday is not allowed, and the special permit does not grant access to any property. Landholders must grant permission to enter private or public property.

The permit, valid through March, also does not allow hunters to take feral swine on state game land. The new permit was created in response to growing problems with wild pigs in the state. Wildlife officials note that the pigs often de-stroy farm crops and they consume many of the same foods of many other animals.

Realistic resolutionsResolutions have become a

tradition to many of us, a way to turn over the proverbial new leaf at the beginning of a new year by examining ways to improve our lives with a single, declarative statement such as “I am going to lose weight,” or “I am going to stop smoking,” or “I am going to exercise more.”

Resolutions are a bold way to force us into making significant life changes, but, once declared, may seem impossible to fulfill. It is one thing to say it, and another to do it.

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” so says the Chinese philosopher Confucius over 2,500 years ago. As basic and obvious as that famous quote is, it seems never more applicable than now … at the beginning of a new year when many of us ponder how to achieve our resolutions.

A realistic resolution is one that is defined more by the jour-ney than the destination. The re-alistic resolution begins with that single step and does not set us up for failure if not immediately at-tained. Realistic resolutions give us a starting point and, ultimately, a direction.

One of the most common resolutions every year involves weight loss. If you want to lose weight and declare it either privately or to a small, trusted circle of friends or even to your Facebook friends, think of that resolution as part of a process. The first step is wanting it. The

next step is examining ways to change your lifestyle to make the resolution more attainable. These initial steps are often the most difficult because it means taking a long, hard look at the state of one’s lifestyle. What are you willing to change or give up to take these steps on this journey to a healthy weight?

Change involves several stages. In the first stage, there is little recognition of the need for change other than a vague sense that there is a need to lose weight, for example. The second stage is contemplation — gathering information and identification of resources available to assist with developing a plan. In our weight loss example, a physical exam would be indicated, as well as an exploration of strategies for diet and lifestyle change.

Next is the action stage: im-plementing the plan including diet and lifestyle changes and utilizing supportive resources. The maintenance phase of change involves recognition of results refining the plan as needed.

Tears flow abundantly

“I’m Just Saying…”

by Pam Stone

“Have you seen ‘War Horse’ yet?” asked a friend.

“Are you crazy?” I said. “I cry at the trailer. I’d never make it through the movie!”

It’s a strange thing because I’m not a woman who cries eas-ily. Even during the heartrending bust-ups of past romantic liai-sons, I wasn’t a girl who threw herself, sobbing, upon her bed, convulsed with grief.

I generally just cussed a lot and then popped open a beer. Sort of like Jeff Bridges in ‘Crazy Heart.’

When a young horse I was training threw me like a rag doll and I landed heavily on my side, hearing a toe-curling ‘pop’ some-where in my ribcage, I just sighed, rolled over on my back, stared up at the animal and said, “Well, thanks very much, you complete jerk.”

But no tears.Yet, suddenly, within the last

year or so, I’m crying all the time. What the heck is that all about?

“Hormones,” nodded one older friend, understandably. “We all go through it, honey. I had to go on hormone replacement therapy.”

Don’t be ridiculous, I splut-tered. That stuff is for overly emo-tional females that can’t get a grip. Not for a woman who washes her face with ‘Lava.’ Not for a woman who lives in quilted Carharts dur-ing the winter. Not me.

“What is wrong with you?” Paul asked, somewhat bemused, as I tried to nonchalantly wipe hidden tears away with my shirt sleeve when the 13-year-old Ra-chel Crow, getting voted off ‘X Factor,’ collapsed in sobs of grief on the stage.

“Nothing.” I snapped. “That stupid Nicole just threw her under the bus! I mean, why be a judge if you’re going to pass it on to the public to judge?”

Barely a week later, watching the nightly news which featured a returning serviceman surprising

his children as they sat upon San-ta’s lap, I could only control myself by stuffing the fringed corner of a throw cushion in my mouth.

“You alright?” Paul said, not taking his eyes from the screen.

“Yep.” although my reply was muffled.

“There’s nothing wrong with c r y i n g , y o u know.” he added. “It made me well up.”

“Well, I’m not you and I’m not crying.”

Then came the commercials for ‘War Horse.’ And the thing is, having spent several years on a television set, I understand all about audience ma-nipulation: I understand how a cast of actors, a good script, strategic lighting and, most importantly, a soaring musical score, can reduce even the toughest longshoreman into a blubbering rag. I see through all that stuff, especially Spielberg, who is the master of soft-focus contrivance. This is the guy who made a creepy, melon-headed alien with a glowing finger recite the line, “E.T., phone home,” and sent theater audiences reaching, gulping their tears, for Kleenex.

So when the first ‘War Horse’ commercial aired recently, I took a deep breath and clenched my fist as memories of every horse I’d ever had and lost flashed through my brain. Watching the movie horse (the same horse, by the way, as used in ‘Seabiscuit,’ which means he also has a better agent than I have) rear and gallop through the still-smoking battle-fields and knowing how, in reality, hundreds of thousands of horses were slaughtered by machine guns during WWI, I began to chew my lip but nearly contained myself until seeing his young owner cry, “I will find you!” and made a sort of choking noise deep in my throat.

“For the love of Mike, cry!” Paul barked from the kitchen. “Otherwise you’re going to have an aneurysm. It’s not very appeal-

Q. Is there a way I can tell my children some personal things outside of my estate plan?A. Yes, we have had clients be very creative in the ways they choose to communi-cate with their loved ones after they are gone. My own uncle left a very touching and inspirational letter to each of his sons. I have had clients leave detailed let-ters outlining their wishes for future generations, their values and philosophy of life. Several have even vid-eotaped their messages to children and grandchildren. Many of these messages have been quite well done and much appreciated by the recipients.

Dear Readers,Last fall, to better assist our

classified advertising custom-ers, we made the decision to change the software we used for our classifieds. Part of that transition included a change to the print size of our classifieds. While many were happy with the new classified system itself the reaction to the new font size was not so well received.

We have received calls and emails about the small print size and just yesterday I spoke with a very nice lady from Saluda, (she wants to remain anonymous)

and she told me that while she enjoys reading the paper she just can’t read the classifieds because the print is too small. I let her know that we are go-ing to increase the font size, and now you know too. The lady brought up the question of cost. “Would this make the cost more?” A good question and one I’m happy to answer with a

Publisher’s Notebookby Betty Ramsey

You asked, we received: Fine print getting biggerresounding no. We will adjust the rates to reflect the new size.

I wish I could say it will hap-pen immediately but in today’s world of technology what used to be a simple change can now be a more involved project. However, I’m confident that in the next few weeks you will see the classifieds return to a larger, easier to read font.

Thank you for your patience with us as we make this transi-tion and thank you for your continued readership.

Sincerely,Betty Ramsey

ing living with Steven Segal, you know.”

“I have to go check on the horses.” I replied stoutly, keeping my back to him and marching purposely out the front door. Once in the privacy of the barn I cried so hard my head began to pound at the temples. And the pain alone

made me cry harder. Then Bonnie, my beloved terrier, sprang lightly against my thigh with troubled and concerned eyes, which sent me once again reeling into convul-sions of emotion. Both my horses left their hay momentarily, not to see if I was alright, but to see if anything that was happening in-volved food, and returned to their quiet munching. Then one of them, completely unlike any hero movie horse, emitted a long, sustained,

breaking of wind, which served for me as a transition into peels of laughter.

Still chuckling, I went back into the house and Paul, noting my face, commented, “So now you’re laughing? OK, now you’re freaking me out. Maybe you do need that hormone therapy stuff.”

Dismissing his suggestion with a wave of my hand I replied, “Nah, I just needed the equine equivalent of ‘pull my finger.’”

A “Sharing in the Commu-nity” Christmas social was held recently at the G. Riddle Banquet Hall of the Zion Grove A.M.E. Zion Church, with more than 100 people in attendance.

The Christmas social was made possible by the Polk Coun-ty Community Foundation 2011 Seasonal Assistance Grant and was sponsored by the Unity in the Community Organization.

The event provided fruit and gift baskets and live entertain-ment for senior citizens and needy families of the community. For the third consecutive year, Mountain View BBQ & Deli of Columbus catered the meal, which was served by volunteer waiters and waitresses. The menu

consisted of smoked leg quarters, meatloaf, corn on the cob, potato salad and baked beans. Guests had a choice of desserts prepared and donated by members of the community, which included pound cake, cheesecake, coconut cake, fruit cake, red velvet cake, banana pudding and buttermilk pies.

Rev. Theodore Kelly, pastor of the Moores Grove Baptist Church, was master of ceremo-nies for the evening. Rev. Eleanor Miller, pastor of the New Zion C.M.E Church, Mill Spring, spoke about her most memorable Christmas. James Bryan of Tryon and Ulysses Miller of Gastonia sang songs of the season.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Looking at ‘healthy’ alternativesAs a society, we are inundated

and bombarded with a myriad of advertisements and commercials, pushing so called “healthy” food alternatives.

Let’s explore some of these, and see just how healthy or un-healthy they happen to be.

1) Light ice cream. Just be-cause ice cream has the word “light” on the label doesn’t guar-antee i t has fewer calories. A l s o , s o m e light ice creams are less satisfy-ing, so you end up eating more. Instead: Try dairy-free ice cream. Soymilk ice creams have fewer calories, and they’re really sat-isfying.

2) Baked potato chips. These chips may be lower in fat, but are still high in calories, and low in nutrients. Instead. Try popcorn. You’ll get all the crunch of po-tato chips, and around 65 percent fewer calories. I recommend oil-free or air- popped corn.

3) Diet soda. Diet sodas have been linked to “metabolic syn-drome,” whose symptoms include increased belly fat that puts you at greater risk for heart attack. Also, the artificial sweeteners used in diet sodas are by their very nature, several, sometimes hundreds times sweeter than sugar. These sweeteners satisfy your mouth, but not your brain. In other words, your brain is all dressed up with no place to go. This makes you crave sugar, and creates an even bigger sweet tooth. Instead: Try flavored seltzer water. It’s refreshing and has 0 calories. Make sure there are no artificial flavors in your seltzer water. If you want to flavor your seltzer water even more, use fruit juices.

4) Non-fat salad dressings. These dressings may have no fat, but that doesn’t mean they have no

calories. Most fat-free dressings are loaded with sugar. Also, you want a little fat with your salad. Without any fat, you can’t absorb vitamins A, D, E and K. Instead: Try olive oil based dressings.

5) Calorie–free spray mar-garine. Even if your margarine claims to be “calorie free,” it may not be. Labeling laws allow products with fewer than five cal-

ories to claim zero calories, so using several sprays could re-ally add up the

calories. Also, margarines contain trans fats, which tend to clog your arteries. Instead: Try an olive oil based spray. It contains “monoun-saturated fats,” which help relieve inflammation, and are good for your heart.

6) 100-calorie snack packs. People tend to eat more food when presented smaller portions. In fact, in one study, participants didn’t feel the need to regulate their food intake, and ate more than one portion before they felt satisfied. Instead: Have a small serving of almonds. Almonds contain healthy monounsaturated fat, and the fiber and proteins they contain will help tide you over until your next meal.

Diet or exercise question? Email me at [email protected] or visit fitness4yourlife.org. David Crocker of Landrum has been a nutritionist and personal trainer for 25 years. He served as strength director of the Spar-tanburg Y.M.C.A, head strength coach for the S.C. state champion girls gymnastic team, USC-Spar-tanburg baseball team, Converse college equestrian team, lead trainer to L.H. Fields modeling agency, and taught four semesters at USC-Union. David was also a regular guest of the Pam Stone radio show.

Saluda News &

Notationsby Bonnie Bardos

Small things become great things“Wherever you are is always

the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are.”

~ Julia Cameron

Welcome to January 2012 Sa-luda news and notations! Some-how the New Year arrived faster than expected! Around here, the old year was one of constant ups and downs, nothing in be-tween. While this one’s still young, it’s time to reflect and think on the possibilities and changes ahead. On my kitchen counter, there’s no long detailed list of resolutions: you could call mine the short-list! Lose one pound. Save one dollar. Donate one thing. Give one compliment. Do one kindness a day.

Small things become great things, one step at a time. Plus, it’s more realistic than grandiose save-the-world resolutions that fall by the wayside by February! I’ve also been ‘shopping’ the Shar-Pei rescue sites. Often my problem is I want them ALL. Again, just one. Just one can make all the difference. Life’s too short to go without the love of a good dog.

Another thing that is high on the gratitude list is good people in my life. As discussed at a wonderful New Year’s Eve party, that was one topic that everyone agreed on: that there are many, many good people in this area.

By the time you read this, I hope to be on my way to Sarasota, Fla. for a winter respite thanks to good people who take mercy on me. White sand, turquoise waters, some tropical foliage and exploring the Pineapple District will refresh the spirit. This time, I hope to head out to Anna Maria Island to paint and write a little and daydream with sea birds and soft breezes.

Happy January Birthday to

Foster Archer, Brandy Brad-ley, Alex Bardos, Carolyn Ash-burn, Scott Kinard, Donna Bond, Greer Eargle, Wyatt Alan Pace, Irma Anderson, Paul Aaybe, Rich Rauschenbach, Phyllis Ar-rington; and Susan Casey on New Year’s Eve.

Happy Anniversary to his-toric Thompson’s Store, which reopened a year ago! Judy Ward, Clark Thompson and staff have

worked tireless-ly on renovating and returning a vibrant busi-ness to our town. Al so , Happy Anniversary to Heartwood Gal-

lery, which celebrates 27 years of featuring American craft.

Train buffs take note! Char-lene Pace says the historic train calendar with 16 train pictures is available at several downtown businesses- or call Charlene at 828-749-2641. The first train came through Saluda in 1878. This calendar is printed right here in Saluda and a percentage of proceeds go to the Saluda Vol-unteer Fire Department Auxillary fund to benefit needy children and families.

Please continue to remember Lloyd Thompson and family with the loss of his wife, Betty Jo. Betty was a special, friendly “Sa-luda” person, and will be missed.

Extra love, hugs and prayers are sent to Julie Foster Collins and her sweet daughter, Emorie, who has been undergoing chemo treatments in Asheville.

In this year’s celebration, Fannie Lou Hamer, Dorothy Height and Ella Baker will all come to life as the friendship council embraces the women of the civil rights movement. Michelle Miller, Rev. Eleanor Miller and Tamieea Brown will bring to life these well-known women who played important

roles in the civil rights move-ment.

Music will be sponsored by the Unity Choir, members of local choirs and the community who come together in unity and song. The choir will be under the direction of Dr. Joseph Fox and accompanied by Kimberly Porter.

The commemoration program will also feature the Bunton In-stitutional CME Church (BIC) Mime Ministry. The event is made possible with financial support from the Arthur M. & Frances H. Wilhelm Endowment Fund through the Polk County Community Foundation, and is

in partnership with the Tryon Fine Arts Center.

The Thermal Belt Friendship Council meets monthly at Rose-land Community Center, located at the intersection of Peake and Howard streets in Tryon, every second Tuesday at 7 p.m. Mem-bership is open to any commu-nity member wishing to further the dialogue between the races.

The friendship council is a nonprofit organization created to foster unity throughout the many diverse communities in the Thermal Belt region, including North and South Carolina. No membership dues are collected by the organization; the only

requirement for membership is a desire to foster equality and diversity.

The organization views di-versity not only in light of race but also in terms of age, physical and mental challenges, national origin and ethnicity. All residents of the Thermal Belt region are encouraged to participate.

For more information related to the commemoration celebra-tion or other events sponsored by the Thermal Belt Friendship Council, contact Dr. Joseph Fox at 828-421-7580 or at [email protected].

Around three years ago I told a tale called “the every dog.” It was my interpretation of the labrador retriever and all the things this amazing breed can do and do well.

I also told of how the most common dog in our country is the Lab mix. Over my years at FHS, I can’t recall a single time we haven’t had at least one lab mix at the shelter and often many.

A few months back we had a sweet l i t t le black lab mix at the shelter named Zorro. Though I knew him, my inter-action with him was minimal, after all he was just another lab mix and I had bigger fish to fry. This doesn’t mean I didn’t care for this boy and I was very pleased when I learned he was adopted into a loving family.

On the 28th of December I had the privilege to speak at Kiwanis for the second time. After our Q and A I received a nice $100 check from a sup-porter for my personal fund. I was summoned to another table where Bob and Rosemary said they’d meet me the next day at FHS with a large donation to my fund for Lennie’s kids.

The next day I received a call from Lani at the shelter.

“Lennie, we have a dog in trouble that may need assistance from your fund.” “What’s up Lani?”

“Do you remember Zorro?” “Sure, a cute little lab mix.” “The family that adopted him

is frantic, he developed a cough and it was learned he has a se-vere heartworm infestation. The bill for the treatment is $500 and they can’t afford it right now.”

Zorro, just an ordinary dog“Okay Lani, I’ll authorize

payment out of my fund, tell them not to worry.” “You’re the best Lennie.”

“That’s what the money is for, dear.”

Later that afternoon I met with Bob and Rosemary from Kiwanis and after giving them a tour of the facility and introduc-ing them to my kids I received a check for $1,000.

“God bless you,” I said, fight-ing back tears, “you haven’t any

idea the good this money will do.”

“ N o , G o d bless you Len-nie, and it’s our

pleasure.” I then produced Zorro’s bill

and said, “This is what you have done.”

Bob smiled and said, “there’s enough there to do another one.”

I hugged him so hard I think I may have bruised a few of the sweet old gentleman’s ribs.

A few days later I received this email:

“On a Friday about four months ago we discovered the best dog in the entire world. I know everyone thinks that about their dog, but he’s just perfect. My son and I met him, the shelter let him out into an open field to interact with us. He didn’t run away or run wild but sat in front of my son while he petted him nonstop. With tears in my eyes I looked at my son while he hugged Zorro’s neck softly and I knew we were bonded forever. Zorro went home with us to Inman and has been a favorite of our family and everyone he meets. He is the most gentle lab mix I have ever met. I think sometimes

manDie anD Zorro (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

he would rather be petted than eat. He will stay as long as you will for petting. He can’t get enough loving but that’s great because our family has plenty to give him.

We are blessed that God led us to Foothills Humane Society where we found our missing family member. He even gets along with our indoor cat but I think he just lets her think she is the boss.

Thank you so much Mr. Rizzo for such a blessing. You have blessed Zorro as well as our entire family. I am glad that there are still people in the world like you. I hope Zorro can see you again one day.”

- Mandie RobertsAs I stated earlier, Zorro is

just another ordinary lab mix, but you try telling that to the Roberts family.

Thanks for listening.

What's going on?Tryon Daily Bulletin

subscribers know!

Dear Savvy Senior,Can you recommend any re-

sources that provide affordable one-shot financial advice for folks on a budget? I’m about six years from retirement and would like a quick financial checkup and get a few questions answered, but I don’t want to pay an ongoing financial advisor to manage my money.

Seeking AdviceDear Seeking,There are actually a number

of services you can turn to for oc-casional financial and investment advice without tying yourself down or spending a fortune. Here are several to check out.

Fee-only AdvisorsIf you only want a one-time

financial checkup, have a few financial questions you need an-swered, or are looking for some occasional investment advice, a fee-only financial advisor with a certified financial planner (or CFP) certification is one of your best options. The CFP certifica-tion serves as the gold standard for personal financial planning, and fee-only advisors charge on an hourly basis, versus advisors who earn a commission by selling you financial products.

A great place to find fee-only advisors is at the Garrett Planning Network, which offers the ser-vices of 300 independent advisers nationwide. At garrettplanningnet-work.com (or call 866-260-8400) you can locate an advisor in your area, hire one, and get an hour or two of advice either over the phone or in person. There’s no minimum income or net worth requirements you’ll need to meet to get help. And you can use this service for a

one-time engagement, as well as for periodic or ongoing financial advice. The cost for a Garrett advisor ranges between $180 and $300 per hour.

You can also find fee-only advi-sors through the National Associa-tion of Personal Financial Advi-sors website, which lists 1,400 accredited advisers at napfa.org.

Other servicesAnother convenient service

you should know about is My Financial Advice (myfinancialad-vice.com), which provides hourly advice via phone or email. You select the topics you want help with, like retirement planning, investing, insurance, employee benefits, debt management and more, and then choose a financial planner who is standing by to an-swer your question. This is great for one-shot questions and second opinions. The cost for this service averages $150 per hour, but simple questions can be answered for less.

If you’re looking for help with your 401(k), 403(b), 457 plan, federal Thrift Savings Plan or SEP IRA, a company called Smart 401k (smart401k.com, 877-627-8401) is worth a look. They provide personalized investment advice either over the phone or online based on the funds available in your retirement plan. The cost is $200 per year.

And for do-it-yourself inves-tors, Financial Engines (finan-cialengines.com, 888-443-8577) is an online company that offers investment advice for retirement accounts, including guidance on

How to get financial and retirement advice on a budget

Savvy Senior employee stock options for $150 a year. Or you can get compre-hensive investment advice that includes non-retirement accounts for $300 per year.

Free servicesIf you’re an AARP member,

you can now get a free financial consultation through a new part-nership program between AARP and the financial services firm Charles Schwab (www.schwab.com/aarp, 877-310-7746). This program provides a complimen-tary, no obligation financial con-sultation with a Schwab financial advisor either over the phone or in person at one of their 300 branches nationwide.

Another resource that offers free financial advice is Jump-Start Your Retirement Plan Days. This is a completely free public service program provided by the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) and Kiplinger Personal Finance magazine. On Thursday, Jan. 12 and Tuesday, Jan. 17 you can call toll free 888-919-2345 anytime between 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. eastern standard time, and a NAPFA advisor will be standing by to answer your financial and retirement questions. Or, if you prefer, you can you can participate in an online discussion on these same dates through Kip-linger’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/KiplingerPerson-alFinance.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit Sav-vySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

The Spartanburg Little Theatre will present “The Honky Tonk Angels” Jan. 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. and on Jan. 15 and 22 at 3 p.m. in the David W. Reid Theatre at the Chapman Cultural Center in Spartanburg, S.C.

“The Honky Tonk Angels” fol-lows the journey of three women who are fed up with their lives

and set out to chase their dreams of becoming country music stars. It includes classics by artists such as Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette and Willie Nel-son and songs like “Nine to Five,” “Harper Valley PTA,” “Stand By Your Man,” “Coal Miner’s Daugh-ter” and “Amazing Grace.”

The production features Spar-

tanburg area singers and actresses Lori Lee, Heidi Fortune, and Janna McClure and a live band led by Joy Finch.
