Pilot for SyFy Channel to film in Landrumby Samantha Hurst

Cameras are set to roll through Landrum in April as a production crew films a pilot called “Distrac-tion” for the SyFy channel in and around the city.

Writer and producer Jeff Prince of Green Giant Media

Architect’s drawing of the proposed Tryon Depot master plan, showing the existing depot (center), Dr. Hooker’s proposed new building (top left) and improved parking and landscaping for the area.

said he settled on Landrum for the production because he felt the town gives a true feeling of Americana.

“I really wanted that perfect Main Street look,” Prince said. “A lot of the downtowns are not as well-kept or thriving as

Landrum. Plus, the proximity to the mountains offers such a great visual.”

Polk recycling board visits new recycling facility in Western N.C.The Polk County Recycling

Advisory Board attended the grand opening of American Re-cycling of WNC near Asheville on Jan. 25. Attendees from the board included Cindy Walker, Polk County commissioner; Ryan Whitson, Polk County manager; Neal Hall, Polk Coun-ty solid waste director; Joyce Hicks, Polk County recycling coordinator; Jennifer Patton, Polk County recycling route driver; Ernie Kan, Columbus City Council member and Polk resident volunteer board mem-bers Elaina Prevett (chair), Mary Parker and Jo Cahill.

The event was held at the new center at 1291 Sand Hill Rd., Candler, N.C. David Gantt, chair of the Buncombe County board of commissioners, and Terry Bellamy, mayor of Asheville, spoke at the event.

American Recycling of WNC has been open since Jan. 1, 2012.

It is a full-service facility that serves Western North Carolina. It provides residential storage containers and pickup service and can accept single-stream (where recyclables are sorted at the recycling center), blue bag or sorted materials from haulers and municipalities.

So far, the facility is keeping 1,500 tons of materials out of landfills per month, with a goal of doubling this amount in five years. It is locally owned and operated.

In Polk County, the following materials were removed from the waste stream by recycling

in the last year: 541.31 tons of mixed containers and paper, 307 tons of metal, 25 tons of mixed electronics and 3723 gallons of waste oil. 5.46 tons of light bulbs and ballasts were recycled in the last two years.

from Prince several months ago as he was still in the process of scouting a location.

Jennings said she immedi-ately offered to start making calls to other businesses to see how they might be able to pitch in.

“The whole thing with this, is if we get enough fanfare with this movie it will be a great boost for them and a great boost for our town,” said Jennings.

Prince told city council of-ficials Tuesday, March 13 that not only would shots of Lan-drum be featured in the film, but Landrum itself will be the actual town name in the pilot.

“There is no way this could be a bad thing f o r o u r town,” Jen-nings said. “We’re very f o r t u n a t e that we do have a great group of businesses and great town leaders that have supported this. People have just been that wonderful and willing to help.”

And that makes a difference, Prince said.

“It can be hit or miss when talking to a small town,” he said. “Anything that helps our budget and gets us exposure is great.”

Crews are expected to be in the middle of filming from April 15-22.

Cinematographer Corey Messer has worked with Prince to select shooting locations for each scene. While one scene will be shot at Camp Croft and another in Campobello, the rest will be shot in various locations around Landrum.

These will include shots of one of the main characters driv-ing down East Rutherford, shots on rural roads where the crew plans to flip a truck, shots at Landrum airport and at a local doctor’s office. There will also be one overnight shoot that will include a barn dance scene with

70-100 people on set. Producers said the City of

Landrum and all of the locations would be credited on the film. Crews also plan to work with the Landrum Police Department and rescue squad to ensure traf-

fic is not disrupted during the filming.

away, he did say that if people were fans of the “Twilight Zone” series, they’d definitely be into “Distraction.”

The Facebook page for “Dis-traction” describes the series: “Distraction is about the strange disappearance, and even strang-er re-appearance of small town belle Claire. The story follows her star-crossed friend Wesley as he tries to solve the mystery of where she’s been and why other strange things have been happening in town when she reappears.”

To find out more about the pilot and to follow cast and crew, visit http://www.face-book.com/pages/Distraction/296783977042106?sk=wall.

“If it gets picked up by SyFy Channel or another net-work it would be a mini-series and they’ve said they would continue to shoot the series in Landrum,” Jennings said.

“When people see Landrum, S.C. in the pilot they are going to wonder where that is and they will seek us out.”

Law enforcement kicks off community policing meetingsSunny View meeting tonight at 6:30 p.m.by Leah Justice

Local law enforcement of-ficers began community police meetings Tuesday, March 13 in Columbus to work with residents to protect neighborhoods.

The Columbus meeting drew only one resident, Doug Bridges, who was representing the Camp Skyuka Homeowners Association.

Deputy Ronnie Russell with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and Officer JJ Sauve with the Tryon Police Department talked about how residents can get in-volved and reviewed safety tips, including information for seniors and domestic violence victims. The officers also reviewed what services are currently available through local law enforcement.

Other officers involved in the community police meetings and training are Sgt. Nick Stott with the Columbus Police Department and Officer Brent Cantrell with the Saluda Police Department.

“Community policing is citi-zens and law enforcement work-ing together to try to prevent and solve crimes,” Sauve said.

Russell said local officers want to work with residents to help train them to set up neigh-borhood watches. He said com-munity watch groups help of-ficers by being the eyes and ears

of a neighborhood and by helping neighbors in situations that don’t involve law enforcement.

Community watches may in-volve having trustworthy people in the neighborhood knowing who is out of town at what time and giving a house key to a com-munity watch captain or member. All local law enforcement depart-ments also have a house check, where officers will patrol a house when a resident is out of town and check doors and windows to make sure there has been no suspicious activity.

Russell said community watches are helpful in solving crimes because an officer may patrol an area and think nothing of a certain vehicle being there but neighbors know which ve-hicles belong and which might be suspicious.

“Without cooperation be-tween residents and law enforce-ment a lot of these crimes can’t be solved,” Russell said. “You are eventually our eyes and ears.”

Russell also said that com-munity watch is not a vigilante group. Officers said residents should not take the law in their own hands.

“Taking the law in your own hands is not what we want,” Russell said. “We don’t want you to put yourself in harm’s way. Call us.”

The community policing idea began when Sauve and Russell

Local law enforcement has also been working to get the Foothills Crimestoppers reorga-nized as the phone line is cur-rently not available.

Officers said they are willing to train individual neighborhoods and will agree to meet in some-one’s home if necessary to train residents. Officers also have a program to do home and business security assessments, in which a trained officer will give a home or business owner tips to make a building more secure.

master plan developed by Brady/Trakas for the Town of Tryon and the Tryon Downtown Develop-ment Association (TDDA). The upgrades include sidewalks, light-ing, drainage, asphalt and land-scaping. Improved connectivity is one end goal. The project is ex-pected to impact jobs creation, an integral part of this grant award.

“The Depot Plaza project builds capacity upon recently completed renovations to the Tryon Depot,” Armbrust said. “Again, private/public invest-ment plays a central role. With the MSSF grant project, Dr. John Hooker’s new building construc-tion on the Depot Plaza provides the required two-to-one match. That match was exceeded signifi-cantly here; the total grant project detailed a $525,000 new building construction as a private match and a $150,000 grant request.”

Armbrust said Tryon’s recent N.C. Rural Center Economic In-novation grant – which, among other items, funded the Depot Plaza master plan – and Tryon’s designation as a Small Town Main Street program both played a decisive role in the MSSF

award.“The MSSF award,” Armbrust

said, “will allow us to re-evaluate Trade, Pacolet and Depot streets (the economic heart of our com-munity) with new purpose: to revive its commercial core, to strengthen business opportuni-ties, to spur economic investment and to promote a sense of place and community life in Tryon’s downtown – all of which will produce benefits for businesses, consumers and citizens.”

One of the wonderful things about being a priest in Tryon is the fact that so many of us are animal lovers with pets large and small, and that we have such an abundance of wildlife to enjoy up close (and sometimes personal).

I have the honor of being the occasional chaplain to several of our horse and hound sporting groups and so I get to see the devoted love and care members of our several communities lavish on their horses, dogs, cats, birds and other assorted critters.

I have been asked, and read-ily agree, to come pray for a sick horse or dog or more than a few times, and I have known owners to go to exhausting extremes of self-sacrifice for a beloved animal.

So, where do we learn to do that? How do we learn to

love the creatures entrusted to our care so well? In short, I believe it is a reflection of the same unconditional love that God extends to each one of us.

Think about it for a moment. When we really and truly love an animal, especially if it is a lifelong companion, we give it our love openly and freely and we accept in return whatever bits of affection we get in return. That is not to say that every person-pet relationship is without conflict. A well chewed pair of expensive new shoes can cause quite a rift, but we usually forgive them their trespasses and try to teach them to do better. Sound familiar?

As profound and yet flawed as our love for our pets may be, it is the tiniest and dimmest reflection of the love God has for us. If God’s love is perfect

love, how much greater is his love for us than ever ours could

Our love of pets dimin comparison to God’s love

• Reflection(continued from page 8)


be for our animals?If we love them so well, how

much better does God love us? Keep in mind what Jesus said,

“Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor

gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6.26)

God’s love is the love that passes all understanding.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongue’s roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascar’s primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemur’s natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

I have the honor of being the occasional chaplain to several of our horse and hound sporting groups and so I get to see the devoted love and care members of our several communities lavish on their horses, dogs, cats, birds and other assorted critters.

I have been asked, and read-ily agree, to come pray for a sick horse or dog or more than a few times, and I have known owners to go to exhausting extremes of self-sacrifice for a beloved animal.

So, where do we learn to do that? How do we learn to

love the creatures entrusted to our care so well? In short, I believe it is a reflection of the same unconditional love that God extends to each one of us.

Think about it for a moment. When we really and truly love an animal, especially if it is a lifelong companion, we give it our love openly and freely and we accept in return whatever bits of affection we get in return. That is not to say that every person-pet relationship is without conflict. A well chewed pair of expensive new shoes can cause quite a rift, but we usually forgive them their trespasses and try to teach them to do better. Sound familiar?

As profound and yet flawed as our love for our pets may be, it is the tiniest and dimmest reflection of the love God has for us. If God’s love is perfect

love, how much greater is his love for us than ever ours could

Our love of pets dimin comparison to God’s love

• Reflection(continued from page 8)


be for our animals?If we love them so well, how

much better does God love us? Keep in mind what Jesus said,

“Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor

gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Matthew 6.26)

God’s love is the love that passes all understanding.

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Teens! What are you going to do with them? One minute they are listening to strange music, the next minute they are texting while driving or being swallowed into the underworld.

Wait. What? Only if you are in a Greek myth,

that is. In the story of Persephone a young maiden is out picking flow-ers one day when she is abducted into the underworld. Without the convenience of a cell phone she can’t call her mom, Demeter, the

Harvest Goddess. Demeter, sad-dened, cannot care for the plants and winter spreads over the land while Persephone is off having her own adventures in the under-world. Once Persephone returns, the delighted Demeter brings the plants back to life and the first spring arrives.

This ancient myth will be told through spectacular puppets, song and dance at the Mill Spring Ag Center on Friday, March 16 at 7 p.m. at the newly renovated Ag

Puppet show at grand opening of Mill Spring Ag Center auditorium

The Western Carolina Classic Radio Club will meet Monday, March 19 at 2 p.m. in Studio 118 at the Polk Campus of Isother-mal Community College.

Columbia Pictures produced eight “Whistler” moves from 1944 – 1948, with each starring Richard Dix in various roles.

Center Auditorium. Mike Odle, Master Gardener,

organic farmer at CooperRiis and cofounder of The Art Farm with his wife, Finn, has presented shows like this in the past but “not such a large undertaking as this one,” he said.

Gilberto Sibrian, a WWOOF (Willing Workers on Organic Farms Volunteer), joined Cooper-Riis in January. He and the Odles came up with the idea for the show. Sibrian, a former intern at

the Paperhand Puppet Interven-tion Theater in Chapel Hill, N.C., brought with him his experience at building the large papier maché puppets that are used throughout the show.

The show is open to the public for a small fee at the door. Popcorn and snacks will be sold as well. Donations will go to the Ag Center auditorium and to the CooperRiis scholarship fund.

At Monday’s meeting, “The Strange Case of the Haunted Lighthouse,” from 1945, will be shown.

The “Whistler” radio show aired on CBS from May 16, 1942 to Sept. 22, 1955 with one of radio’s best-known crime-show formats. “I am the Whistler,

and I know many things, for I walk by night,” is a well-known phrase from the show.

Professor Hoyt will be on hand to keep everyone guessing with his trivia quiz.

Around 3:05 p.m., WOTJ will take the “microphone.” The popular jazz series from

last month will continue with Esquire Magazine’s 1944 All-Star Jazz Band and the addition of Benny Goodman and the band playing a whole new set of selections.

Everyone is welcome and it is free.

Filler ad - run when there's room Filler ad - run when there's room

To say we had a mild winter is quite an understatement. And although we may not be out of the woods yet, the mild temps have the fish biting.

About any where you go the fish are chewin’, from lake Murray to the south, all the way up to lake James and anywhere in between. Fishing reports are of good num-bers and good size.

Lake HartwellThe largemouth and spotted

bass fishing is good. Jay Orr who fishes tournaments there regularly reports fish are being caught on jigs and shallow diving crankbaits and soft plastics in the backs of creeks. Late evening is the best time to fish these areas. Some fish will still be staging on main points at the mouths of major creeks but he expects them to head shallow shortly.

Lake AdgerThe bass fishing is excellent

again this spring on Adger. Many reports and pics have come to me of fish from 5-9 pounds the fish are biting spinner baits and medium div-ing crankbaits good. They are biting worms some too, but your chances of a bigger fish this time of year goes up if you fish spinnerbaits and crankbaits.

The muskie are cooperating as well. Aaron Ruff caught and released a 42” muskie recently, after his fishing partner had broke

Fishing reports are a good number and size

McComas

off on one the day before. The fish annihilated his spinnerbait. Bass size spinnerbaits are probably one of the best lures to catch a muskie

on there is. Lake LureThe white bass are

staging up to head to the river for their spawn. Fish were still a little deep but will shallow up with the recent warm streak. The crappie were not up yet, but that should

change quickly too. The largemouth are hitting me-

dium size crankbaits and of course a spinnerbait is good on those cloudy days. If you don’t mind

fishing slow, some of the bigger fish I’ve caught on Lake Lure is in March on a pig and jig. If the bite is slow on the cranks, fish the same areas with a jig and hold on!

Green RiverWhile the general waters are

closed in March, the delayed har-vest section remains open and is fishing good. Jeremy Orr reports seeing and catching some quality rainbows, and a good number of smaller browns. I feel the delayed harvest sections of rivers is one of the best things the NCWRC has done in recent years. Providing some excellent fishing during the release part of the season.

Don’t forget the general trout waters open on Saturday, April 7.

The yard sale season is now fast approaching, and Town of Colum-bus officials said they wanted to remind town residents about new yard sale sign requirements passed on Dec. 15, 2011.

Previously, yard sale signs were prohibited within the town limits. The new regulations allow yard sale signs to be placed within town limits under the following provisions:

• Signs shall be placed no earlier

than 24 hours before the sale and shall be removed no later than noon of the day after the sale.

• One on-premise sign and no more than three off-premise signs are allowed.

• Each sign shall not exceed 3 square feet in area.

• Signs shall display owner’s address.

Failure to follow the above guidelines or to remove the signs within the proper time frame shall

result in a fine as set forth in the town fee schedule. Town staff will monitor any yard sale signs to ensure they comply. Town officials said they hope these new regula-tions are flexible enough to allow citizens to hold successful yard sales within the town limits.

Questions or concerns about the new ordinance, contact Columbus Town Hall at 828-894-8236.
