County manager: Rails to trails ‘moot point’Motion for Polk to withdraw support failsby Leah Justice

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said the Rails to Trails proposal is a moot point, because a Norfolk Southern official told him the company will not give up the railway for a trail system.

Whitson told commissioners

about his conversation with Norfolk Southern during the county’s March 7 meeting held at the Green Creek Fire Depart-ment.

“[The Norfolk Southern of-ficial] was very familiar with the Saluda Grade,” Whitson said. “He made it absolutely clear that Norfolk Southern is not going to turn over this line or any other line anytime soon. This one is

still an active line.“Based on this, I think any-

thing with rails to trails is a moot point.”

Responding to property own-ers who’ve expressed concern over issues such as costs to the county and eminent domain be-ing used to obtain property for the trail, Whitson made it clear

Weihert wins Voice of Democracy essay contestSarah Weihert, a sopho-

more at Polk County High School, won the Post 10349 Mill Spring’s Voice of Democracy essay contest at the Post level, and came in third at the District 16 level.

Weihert’s essay theme for 2010 was “Does America Still Have Heroes?”

Her essay is included in its entirety below.Does America Still Have Heroes?by Sarah Weihert

Look around you at America and describe what you see. There are skyscrapers and big businesses in the city, and roll-ing hills and farm lands in the country. What about the people? Entrepreneurs out, students go-ing to class, mothers staying home to take care of the kids while fathers are off to work. In a place as wonderful as America, people take pride in their country and want to protect their home, and a hero is the one we put our faith in to protect us.

A hero is not always dressed in a cape and boots; it could be someone walking down the street that sees a lost child and helps them reunite with their mother. Maybe it’s a doc-tor informing you that you’re cancer-free after battling for your life. Heroes may be strang-ers fighting overseas for your freedom, or be it a loved one in the military.

To illustrate another sce-nario, imagine that your house caught on fire in the middle of the night. When you escaped and dialed 9-1-1, all you could think about was the firefighters on their way to rescue your family. Seeing the red truck and hearing the lights would be like seeing Batman appear to save the day, but even more amazing because those men were putting themselves in danger to protect your loved ones. In addition to a personal experience, as an American you probably remem-ber the firefighters who perished

on September 11, 2001 when the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were hit by two commercial planes. Firemen went inside to rescue people as the building was collapsing, and as they were trying to be heroes, some became victims, never to leave the rubble left behind. 343 of America’s finest died that day; if they aren’t heroes, I don’t know who is.

Chesley Sul-lenberger is an-other hero. He was a pilot in the United States Air Force becoming a flight leader and a training officer, and then attained the rank of captain. On January 25, 2009, he was the pilot in command of an Airbus 320 traveling from LaGuardia Airport to Charlotte Douglas International Airport. The plane hit a large flock of birds, disabling both engines and causing them to burst into flames. At this point, Sullen-berger had to make a decision. He knew that he couldn’t make it to the closest airport, and decided to make the choice to land the plane in the Hudson River. His adept decision saved the lives of all 155 passengers on the plane that day.

Every day something heroic happens, no matter how big or small. To one person, it may not be important, but to another, turning in that lost wallet may be as monumental as rescuing them from a burning building. Instead of the criminals, we should show the every day heroes on television to show the world that America is still the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

the county does not plan to spend any money on the project or use eminent domain to take anyone’s property.

Commissioners made a motion to withdraw the county’s support of the rails to trails initiative fol-lowing Whitson’s announcement, but the motion failed by a 2-3 vote. Commissioners Ted Owens and Tom Pack voted to rescind the county’s resolution of support and commissioner chair Ray Gasper-son, vice-chair Renée McDermott and commissioner Cindy Walker voted against.

Commissioners earlier this year approved a resolution in support of the Saluda Grade Trail Committee exploring the creation of a trail sys-tem for possible hikers, bikers and equestrian ac-tivity along the rail line between Landrum and Saluda. Owens said he doesn’t feel comfortable wi th a p iece of paper float-ing around that says the county suppor ts th is wholeheartedly. Pack said when he voted for the resolution he as-sumed Norfolk Southern owned the property and that’s not the case since property owners own the land to the middle of the railroad.

McDermott said there’s no need to take any action if the idea is a moot point.

“We have said there will be no use of eminent domain,” said Mc-Dermott, “At least it won’t get my vote. I don’t foresee there would be any money put into it. It seems so far in the future it’s just off the table on its own accord now.”

Walker said the resolution just helps the committee continue to explore the option and there’s still a lot of information to be obtained concerning any future possibilities.

Saluda Grade Trail Committee member Andy Millard updated commissioners on a recent meet-ing with property owners along the railway. The committee sent about 250 postcards to adjacent property owners. Millard said

about 70 people attended the meet-ing. He said residents were split on whether or not they were in favor of the trail system or not, with few being undecided.

“The project is still in its in-fancy,” said Millard. “By no means are we at a point where we feel like we are ready to proceed with anything like a trail.

“We want everyone to know we appreciate, respect and honor the rights of property owners,” Millard said. “We have no desire to force this on someone against their will. We are just looking into it. And we are going to continue to engage property owners.”

Millard also said the committee realizes there are obstacles such as the rights of property owners, costs of the project and – the biggest obstacle – Norfolk Southern, which has said “no” several times.

Millard men-tioned hearing a b o u t o t h e r t i m e s w h e n Norfolk South-ern has changed its mind quickly about giving up a line.

“This corri-dor is a price-less , his toric and scenic re-

source,” said Millard. “And it built the economy of these three towns. All of us have a stake in what hap-pens to that corridor.”

He said right now the line is an eyesore, a nuisance and liability, and the committee wants to be in a position when Norfolk Southern does change its mind that a plan is in place for what the area is going to do about the resource.

“Maybe a rail trail is not it, but we need to be talking about that resource,” Millard said. “Now is a great opportunity to press [Norfolk Southern]. By looking into it now we get a little leverage with Nor-folk Southern. Our goal is the bet-terment of our community. We’re going about this the right way. We expect to spend at least the next six to eight months just doing homework.”

Commissioners also heard from several property owners who are adamantly against a trail system along the railroad.

“[The Norfolk Southern official] made it absolutely clear that Norfolk Southern is not going to turn over this line or any other line anytime soon.”

Lady Wolverines softball crushes North Buncombe 15-0by Daniel Hecht

A very different Lady Wol-verines softball team got off the bus at North Buncombe High School on Monday afternoon. Still smarting from last Thurs-day’s 10-2 thumping at the hands of North Henderson, the team made it clear from the outset that it aimed to reestablish Polk soft-ball’s reputation as a dominant force in the Western Highlands conference.

In stark contrast to last Thurs-day’s spotty offensive perfor-mance, Coach Jeff Wilson’s squad put on an offensive clinic Monday, brutalizing North Bun-combe pitching for 17 hits and shutting out the Lady Hawks by a score of 15-0 in a game that was called by mercy rule after five innings.

The Lady Wolverines (now 4-1) were up by just two going into the top of the third inning when the fireworks began. With the bases loaded and two outs, and facing a two strike count, Cavin Richards came up clutch, stroking a two-RBI base hit that keyed the rally and broke the

game wide open. Polk went on to tally eight runs in the frame and led by 10 after three.

Polk’s offense came from all parts of the batting order. Kara Garvin went 3 for 4 on the after-noon with two doubles and 4 RBIs, while Cassie Couch and Jamie Hrobak each had three hits in four trips to the plate, including two doubles by Hrobak. Erica Painter and Alicia Lockhart both contrib-uted hits to the Polk effort and two-time All State catcher Alyssa Montgomery drove in two runs before leaving the game in the top of the third with an ankle injury.

“I haven’t had a lot of 17 hit games in my career,” said Coach Wilson following the game, clearly pleased with his team’s commanding performance at the plate.

Polk ace Hrobak was back in her groove as well, striking out eight Lady Hawk batters and giving up just three hits on the afternoon. Hrobak struck out the side to end the game in the fifth, notching her 33rd career victory and improving to 4-1 on the season.

Polk baseball shuts out visiting Asheville Christian 5-0by Daniel Hecht

With the memory of last week’s loss to East Rutherford still fresh and just one game remaining before their conference opener, a convinc-ing win was the medicine Polk County needed. Monday afternoon at home, Coach Ty Stott’s team got just what the doctor ordered, blank-ing the visiting Lions of Asheville Christian Academy 5-0.

The Wolverines broke the scoreless game open in the bottom of the second, exploding for four runs on four hits. Tyler Philpott led off the inning, crushing a fastball to deep left field for a two base hit. Short-stop Roberto Taft followed with a sharp line drive to right center, scoring Philpott and taking third on slipshod ACA defensive play.

After Lucas Cash worked a 3-2 count into a walk, putting runners at the corners with no outs, Dakota Turner lashed a double to the cen-ter field fence, scoring Taft. Andre

Overholt capped the inning, ripping a two RBI single to center, scoring both Cash and Turner. Overholt also singled in the fourth, scoring Polk’s fifth run on a TJ Fincher base hit to left.

Turner pitched a gem in his third start this season for the Wolverines, allowing no hits and walking just two in five innings of work. Ja-

cob Painter pitched a strong sixth inning in relief, retiring the top of the Lions’ batting

order 1-2-3.Painter got off to a rocky start in

the seventh, walking two and giv-ing up a bloop single, and suddenly the Lions were back in the hunt. With bases loaded and just one out, and the tying run in the on-deck circle, Coach Stott called on his standout sophomore pitcher Alec Philpott, who quickly retired the final two ACA batters to preserve the shutout.

While Coach Stott said that he would still like to see more

intensity on offense, he praised the performance of his pitching and defense, particularly the stellar play of shortstop Taft.

“Roberto played one of the best games at defensive shortstop I’ve ever seen,” said Stott, noting in particular a play in the sixth when

Taft ranged well to the right of second base to snare a sharply hit ground ball and fired to first for the out. High praise indeed com-ing from the coach of last year’s standout shortstop Danny Fraga, a ballplayer Stott said was the best he’d ever seen in person.

my mother died last week. It was not unexpected. She was in 87, in poor health, insisted on living alone and had a mind of her own. no matter how often my brother and i asked her come live with one of us she always refused. She was an indomitable Appalachian mountain woman from the word go.as a priest and pastor I am usually on the care-giving end of deaths and funerals, but this time i found myself having to deal with the death of one who gave me life, loved and nurtured me through a tumultuous childhood, fought with me through the angst of adolescence and young adulthood and who cherished my wife and child. mom had a stroke, which left her body alive but her

mind dead for about forty-eight hours. During that time we stood by her slowly deteriorating shell. our whole family gathered around her bed as life support was suspended. When she died it was a quiet and graceful passing for which we are all forever grateful.however, what i write about today is not my mother's death but the nature of family dynamics, which surround traumatic or difficult events.my brother and i are extremely different. In terms of our raising and religious antecedents we are the same, but the religious, spiritual and cultural paths we chose are radically different. We love one another and our respective families, but sometimes there is a wide separation of our beliefs,

Leading a worthy life practices and priorities. So, how did we ever manage to agree on such essential things as how to deal with the ending of life support at the hospital, the details of a funeral service and the division of the estate? Quite simply we chose to transcend our differences and love one another over any personal preferences.Without going into private details let me say that we all chose (brothers, sisters-in-law and grandchildren)to set our personal issues aside for the sake of one another. As a result, we were able to overcome the distress of a painful and potentially divisive event and remain a unified and connected family. It was a choice we made for the sake of one another - a deliberate choice.We, that is, every one of us, are connected to one another in some way or another. As a nation, as states, as counties, as towns and cities, as churches, civic clubs and more we all share a certain commonality, which thrives only when we choose to

live in harmony with one another. In an age of endemic cultural narcissism the assumption “it’s all about me” is ultimately destructive. only when we are willing to give up our drive to have it “my way” will we ever know what it means to live in peace and harmony. in his letter to the Romans, St. Paul exhorts the infant Church to, “love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.” to the Ephesians he wrote, “Lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”What would it be like if every church board, civic club, city council or county commission meeting operated on these basic principles? It is well worth considering. It is simply a matter of choice.

Cathy and Dave Edwards’ gratitude to Hospice cast in stoneby Maureen Smith for HoCF

Even though Cathy and Dave Edwards are retired, you might think of them as “pro-fessional volunteers.” In addi-tion to many other volunteer efforts, Cathy gives her time to the Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum every week.

“The main thing I want people to know is that the Hos-pice House is not intimidating at all,” Cathy said. “I thought it might be when I first went, but it is the opposite. It is noth-ing like people might imagine if they have not been there. It is calming and peaceful, and families that come in seem to relax right away.

In addition to Cathy’s work at the Hospice House, she and Dave both volunteer one morning a week at the Hospice Thrift Barn.

“It’s such a good, happy atmosphere with the volunteers and the customers who come in are always remarking about what great deals they find,” Dave said.

“Shoppers come to the Barn from within a 50-mile ra-dius,” adds a Hospice Thrift Barn staff member. “Many people don’t know that the proceeds from the Barn go to support patients at the Hos-pice House. It is truly a win-win for both Barn shoppers and the entire community.” “At this point, HoCF has

touched almost everyone in the community,” Dave insisted. “Nearly everyone has a fam-ily member who has received Hospice care, or they know someone who has. That is why so many people feel like they want to give back.”

“This sounds like a cliché,” Cathy chimed in, “but it hap-pens to be true. We get far more out of our Hospice activities than the people we help. And volunteers don’t have to choose between just the Hospice House or the Barn. There is something for everyone to contribute as a Hospice volunteer.”

As contagiously enthusi-astic as they are about their volunteer work, they said they are especially pleased about their recent additions to the Path of Remembrance at the Hospice House.

“It is so nice to think you can remember someone in such a special way,” Cathy said, referring to the bricks and paver they purchased in honor of Dave’s family mem-bers (mother, Ruth Greene Edwards, and brothers Steve and Jimmy Edwards).

“My brother Jimmy re-ceived Hospice care at home,” Dave explained. “And Hospice impressed us because they did so much for him and the rest of the family. We became volunteers for that reason, and we try to do everything we can to show our apprecia-

tion to Hospice. They are just such a good, good group.” “We also bought a brick in hon-or of Dave’s cousin, Weldon Kermit Cantrell,” said Cathy.

“Kermit was a Tryon na-tive who worked in the press room at the Tryon Daily Bul-letin when the Vining family owned it,” Dave explained. A lot of people knew and liked him in town, and he made Tryon proud by going to N.C. State and becoming a nuclear engineer. According to Dave, “I never heard him say a bad word about anyone. He was a good man.”

The Edwards thought the per-manent remembrance at Hos-pice House of the Carolina Foot-

hills was a fitting tribute to him. “The bricks and pavers are a special and permanent way to give back to Hospice,” Cathy said. “Permanent is the word I’d like to empha-size,” she added. “They are literally cast in stone. Peo-ple are remembered forever.” If you would like to find out more about the Hospice House Path of Remembrance, contact Diane or Maureen in the devel-opment office at 828-894-7000 or 864-457-9122. If you are in-terested in learning more about the broad range of Hospice Volunteer opportunities, contact Kim Smith at 828-894-7000 or Tracey Brannon at 864-457-9125.

FENCE offers tickets for BMW Pro-Am Tournament May 16 - 22FENCE in Tryon has an-

nounced the availability of tickets for this spring’s BMW Pro-Am Charity Golf Tourna-ment to be played over three area courses in May. BMW Charity Golf, the organizer of the annual BMW Charity Pro-Am Golf Tournament, has chosen the Foothills Eques-trian Nature Center in Tryon as a beneficiary of this year’s tournament scheduled for May

16 to 22.“We’re delighted to be once

again participating in the tour-nament this year, and honored to be the only Polk County charity to be chosen,” said FENCE Director of Develop-ment Theron Farmer. Farmer noted that FENCE now has tickets available for sale allow-ing access to all three tourna-ment courses - the Thornblade Club and the Carolina Coun-

try Club in Spartanburg and Bright’s Creek in Mill Spring.

As a designated charity, FENCE will receive a portion not only of ticket sales, but of the tournament proceeds based on the number of volunteers it provides to help staff the week-long event. The nature educa-tion and outdoor recreation facility will also receive half of the greens fees for any amateur foursomes it can solicit to enter

the tournament.Tickets are available by

contacting FENCE at 828-959-9021. Those wishing to volunteer at one or more of the courses may go online to register and specify FENCE as their chosen charity by visiting bmwcharitygolf.com or by contacting FENCE for an application form at [email protected].

Carolina Camera Club meets Jan. 11The next meeting of the Caro-

lina Camera Club will be on Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Isothermal Community Col-lege in Columbus.

Join the club for a presentation titled “Digital After Dark” pre-sented by Kevin Adams. Adams has been teaching and leading photo tours in North Carolina since the early 1990s and has produced several books that have become valuable tools to many local photographers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Today’s digital cameras give us the ability to make images that we could not have dreamed of back in the film days. Nowhere is this truer than with night pho-

tography. Now we can literally shoot for the stars.

For those who associate night photography only with subjects like fireworks, cityscapes, and street scenes, you’re in for a surprise. In this eye-opening presentation, Kevin will share his techniques for photographing a variety of nighttime subjects, from the ordinary to the “Wow, I never would have thought of that!”

Attendees are advised to use caution before attending this presentation, however. Once you see all the exciting things you can do with your camera at night, you might be losing a lot of sleep from then on.

Among the songs we learned to sing in the public schools I attended here and in Moores-ville and Durham was “The Star Spangled Banner,” with its stir-ring words by Francis Scott Key.

As with hymns in church, we sang all the verses. They made us feel good about being Ameri-cans. We were taught to stand respectfully when it is played or sung, too.

I attended a solo recital by pianist Van Cliburn shortly after his triumphant return from Rus-sia. Coming on stage, he strode directly to the piano, playing the opening notes of the National Anthem as he settled onto the bench.

The applause stopped as we clambered to our feet to hear him produce a truly awe-inspiring version of the piece. That is the only time I have seen a recitalist do that.

Over the intervening years, pop vocalists have rendered (as in dismembered, or making lard) the piece in ways that I found distress-ing, certainly not respectful! I just got an e-mail that I shared with many, and to which I received a goodly number of responses that agreed with it and with me.

I do not know who wrote it, but it is addressed to the performers at recent sporting events.

After asking them to con-sider their audience and to sing

it “straight up, no styling,” the author concludes, “Sing ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ with the courtesy and humility that tells the audience that it is about America, not you.” To which those friends and I all say “Amen!”

To us, an anthem is not a pop song or ballad. It is meant to in-spire love of God or country, not to entertain. However, the tune for our National Anthem started life as a drinking song in merrie olde England.

I suppose it might take a few beers to get most of us to attempt the octave-and-a-half compass of the tune! The pub crawlers over there must have been quite amused by our elevating it to anthem status.

Our Columbus Lions Club sings another English tune to open our meetings because it lies within an octave and is therefore easier for us to sing. The British sing “God Save the King/Queen” while we sing of “America.”

I usually get to lead it, and I start it low so as not to pressure the ladies voices an octave above us. We do sing it respectfully, if per-haps a little too profoundly slow.

Our national anthemIn reading up on this, I was

astonished to learn that “The Star Spangled Banner” was not declared to be our National Anthem by Congress until 1931! Key wrote those words during the War of 1812.

One John Stafford Smith composed the tune in the 1770s. Looks as if the making of the anthem spanned more than a century and a half. And I am older than its official status!

What did our ancestors sing? Apparently it was mostly “My Country ’Tis of Thee.” In school we often sang Katherine Lee Bates’ “America the Beautiful” to Samuel A. Ward’s tune Ma-terna. It expresses well for me a lot of what I think is good about our country. Bates revised her poem two times to get what we know now, and the words also fit the tune of “Auld Lang Syne!” I think Materna works better.

“America” was probably rejected because its tune is the National Anthem of Great Brit-ain. Many think that “America the Beautiful” should have been chosen.

I like them all, but I am con-ditioned to respond to “The Star Spangled Banner,” though I no longer have the vocal range to sing it.

I look forward to our local celebration of Independence Day. I am thankful that we have Patti and Tina to sing for us.

Letter to the Editor

ACS survey invades personal life

To the Editor: Response to Victoria Grant’s

letter concerning the ACS surveyI believe I received an ACS

questionnaire several years ago. Until reading Ms. Grant’s

letter I had never heard of ACS before or since.

When I reviewed the multi-page form, I was appalled at the personal nature of the questions.

In spite of dire threats for non-compliance, I promptly burned it with the rest of the trash. So far none of the paper police have visited me or threatened my by phone.

If this is legitimate govern-ment research, why the low profile? Nine of my neighbors re-ceived a form or even knew what I was concerned about. Clearly the ACS wants to avoid public opposition to its blatant invasion of personal privacy.

The ominous threats included no doubt intimidate quite a few

reluctant responders to “give it up.”

Returning a census form is reasonable for any citizen. Pro-viding under-the-radar data col-lectors with your detailed per-sonal history is just plain stupid.

Hacking into this data bank of private information must be the mother load for international cyber thieves.

A completed survey holds more information than most people would share with their own families.

Since Ms. Grant’s letter ap-

peared. USC admitted a security breach that exposed private infor-mation back in January.

Whether intentional or a mis-take, these events seem to happen way to often. If ACS believes it has a “right” to my detailed personal information, let them go before a judge for a subpoena and I’ll get a lawyer to defend my constitutional rights.

The 1960s maybe over, but we can still raise our tiny wrinkled fists in protest when big brother goes too far.

Ag center volunteers from last week’s Alternative Spring Break program attract the attention of ABC News affiliate WLOS Channel 13. (photo submitted)

The Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center will hold a community volunteer day Saturday, March 19. Organizers are hoping to register 100 aids who fall into one or both of the shifts available: 8 a.m. – noon or 1 – 5 p.m. Job descriptions for each shift include basic yard-work, scraping and painting, light construction, hand-gardening/plantings, landscaping, organiz-ing donations including a new library system for thousands of volumes of donated books, peri-odicals, magazines and reference guides and housekeeping. There is plenty of indoor work, should rain postpone outdoor improve-ments.

Organizers defined aids as an individual, organization or group that donates a minimum of four hours of volunteer time to help restore Polk County’s new ag building with the option to participate as regular volunteers in developing programming for PolkFresh™ producers.

A homemade local food lunch will be provided for all aids by Maddie Ramsey and Vivian Tor-rence from noon – 1 p.m. Other refreshments will be ongoing throughout the day.

Aids support the second phase

of necessary renovations and improvements for the center whose mission is to serve as a resource for agricultural devel-opment, farmland preservation, education and community ser-vice and business development. The center also offers meeting facilities, classrooms, training kitchens, administrative offices, demonstration gardens as well as a business incubator with a small business-services center.

To become an aid, call 828-894-2281 and sign up for morn-

ing or afternoon shift. Mention if you are an individual or a group and what special restoration/construction/gardening skills you may have. You may also e-mail [email protected].

Volunteer credit hours are available for any students/civic club members or other organiza-tions.

All aids are acknowledged on the website, www.polkfarms.org, and are invited to attend the Ag Center Open House on May 7.


WCCR presents Vincent Price March 21 at ICC PolkThe Western Carolina Clas-

sic Radio Club (WCCR) will meet on Monday, March 21 at 2 p.m. in studio 118 on the ICC Polk campus.

The old time radio feature will be an “Escape” program, “Blood Bath,” starring Vincent Price. The program aired on June 30, 1950 and is the story of five men searching for uranium in South America.

“Escape” was a dramatic adventure show that broadcast on CBS from 1947 to 1954 and had William Conrad open the show with “Tired of the every-day grind? Ever dream of a life

of…romantic adventure? Want to get away from it all? We offer you ‘Escape!’”

The radio/TV show will be on of the club’s standard com-edy features. Professor Hoyt will entertain the audience at in-termission with his trivia quiz.

Around 3:10 p.m., the Win-ter Jazz Series concludes with a battle of the bands and drums between Buddy Rich and Max Roach. These five piece groups, led by two of the greatest drum-mers in jazz, will go head to head and face to face on seven selections. The audience will be able to vote and determine

the greatest jazz drummer of all time.

All are welcome and the program is free.
