Traffic was backed up along I-26 yesterday morning near Columbus after a tractor trailer carrying a load of glass flipped over in the westbound lane around 8:30 a.m. Broken glass spilled across the lane and into the median. Traffic was diverted around the wreck while local fire and emergency services cleaned up. Further details regarding the wreck were not available as of press time yesterday. (photo by Leah Justice)

Art to the Rescue Red Cross benefit March 20by Samantha Hurst

Crusaders of comic book lore respond to a call of distress cloaked and masked.

Those coming to the rescue of the Polk County Chapter of the Ameri-can Red Cross meanwhile appear armed with paintbrushes and clay.

The chapter will host Art to the Rescue, a night of entertainment and fundraising, Sunday, March 20 at Tryon Estates.

“Like many non-profit organiza-tions, the Polk County Red Cross has endured the current tough times but not without diminishing financial resources,” said Executive Director Jessica Burnett. “We are commit-ted to continuing our mission into the future, and so, with the help of our sponsors, we have planned an evening of “Art to the Rescue,” a red hot, Red Cross art auction.”

While enjoying a glass of wine and heavy hors d’oeuvres, ticket holders can preview and bid on

items displayed for a silent auc-tion, as well as preview art, which will be auctioned by a professional auctioneer.

Art available runs the gamut from handcraft-ed jewelry to col-lectible books.

Artist Kath-l e e n C a r s o n , owner of Kath-leen’s, and her husband Bill Crowell, owner of Saluda Forge, donated a tile-top table with a forge iron base that they created together. Carson said she and Crowell felt compelled to help out.

“We’ve just always supported the Red Cross because they go to people’s aid when they need them the most - its always an emergency when people are at their most vul-nerable,” Carson said.

Other contributing artists in-clude: Rich Nelson, Dale McEntire,

Jim Carson, Diana Gurri, Catherine Gurri, Victor Chiarizia, Beverly Bowden Pickard, Bonnie Bar-dos, F. E. Sprock, Richard Baker,

Signature offer-ing by Homer Ellertson, Ann Gleason, Mar-garet Davis, Mi-chael Bedoian, Nancy Heim, Michael Locke, Tyce Marshall,

Gary Page, Elaine Pearson, Karen Johnston, Betty Burdue, Courtney Design, Kelly McCullough, Claire Cashau, Eva McCray, Pan Good-hand, Alexia Timberlake, Patricia Viera and Leonard Jones.

The evening kicks off at 5 p.m. with a preview of items and a silent auction. At 6:30 p.m. attendees can participate in a live auction.

Tickets can be purchased by calling 828-894-2700 or at the door on the night of the event.

Want to go? What: Art to the Rescue,

When: March 20, 5 p.m.

A glance at some of the latest news in the area.

news briefs Engineer examines Saluda City Hall Saluda officials recently brought in a structural engineer to examine the city hall for any hidden damage before moving forward with a plan to replace the building’s roof. Mayor Fred Baisden said the city’s contractors might have to include additional supports but said beyond that there was nothing major to report that you wouldn’t typically find in a 100-year-old building. The city has also asked the engineer to factor in costs of replacing all of the building’s windows, instead of the four originally planned for replacement.

Pre-K - grade 8 out of school March 28Superintendent Bill Miller reminded Board of Educa-tion members that students at all elementary schools and Polk County Middle School will not attend school March 28, while Polk County High School students will be required to attend school.

Polk BOE personnel changesThe Polk County Board of Education announced the following personnel changes at a meeting March 14: Monica Contreras will take an additional assignment as part-time custodian, replacing DeShane Briscoe, who resigned from that position only. In addition, Stacey Shields will take an additional assignment as bus moni-tor, replacing Wanda Hillard, who resigned from the bus monitor position only.

Tryon abandons parking overlay district idea for nowFocus shifts to restructuring downtown parkingBy Leah Justice

Tryon Town Council will not restrict downtown employees from parking on Trade Street, at least not yet.

Council tabled a proposal to create a new parking overlay district and decided instead to explore ways to r e s t r u c t u r e parking spaces downtown.

Tryon Town Council held a public hearing Tuesday, March 15 to consider an ordinance to create a parking overlay district that would have made employees of downtown businesses park off the street. The proposal came about after com-plaints from business owners who said downtown employees take up spaces that should be used by customers.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said he is not in favor of a parking overlay district until the town can provide public parking for employ-ees to utilize.

“At some point I think we need a parking ordinance, but not until we furnish you a place to park,” said Peoples.

Peoples also said the town has been talking about its parking problem since 1969 and he doesn’t know the answer to the problem.

Councilmen Roy Miller and Wim Woody agreed with Peoples. Miller and Woody both said they don’t see parking as a problem in Tryon.

“I really don’t think we have a parking problem,” said Miller. “Every time I come downtown I can find a parking place.”

Councilmen Austin Chapman and Doug Arbogast, however, were in favor of the new regulations.

Arbogast said he’s had a few

businesses downtown and com-plained about the lack of customer parking himself.

“I’ve been on four locations on the street and it was a problem,” said Arbogast. “Let’s do something to be proactive about it and tweak it later.”

Chapman said council has been talking about the overlay district for two months, had town man-ager Justin Hembree research other towns and their ordinances “and

now we’re going to re-invent the wheel and start over again?”

“One of the reasons it’s been going on since 1969 is because council changes its mind,” said Chapman.

Miller clarified that he has never changed his mind on the parking issue.

Chapman proposed an idea last year that included a bump out downtown to narrow the street to slow down traffic. His parking space idea involved flipping how spaces line the street on each side, adding more spaces in front of businesses and fewer across the street. The idea would create more spaces overall.

The town has already had dis-cussions with the N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT), which would have to give its approval because Trade Street is owned by the state. Council decided to tell the DOT it wants to pursue the idea, which will take a study, according to Hembree.

Other ideas were posed, such as adding bicycle and motorcycle parking, with the town possibly receiving grant funding for those projects. Hembree said the town’s Powell Bill funds could not be used for actual road construction.

In the meantime, Hembree agreed to talk to businesses that have been accused of taking up parking in front of stores to see if they could park across the street.

“I really don’t think we have a parking problem. Every time I come downtown I can find a parking place.”

Carolina utilities moving forward with reactor plansUtility companies in the Caro-

linas said the nuclear crisis in Japan will not deter them from moving forward with plans to build more nuclear reactors in the region. Duke Energy plans to build two reactors at its Lee station near Gaffney, S.C., while Progress Energy plans to add two reactors to its Harris plant near Raleigh. Santee Cooper is part-nering with S.C. Electric & Gas to add two reactors at a Summer plant near Columbia, S.C.

Duke Energy said the permit-ting process for the $11 billion Lee plant near Gaffney likely will continue for another two years and the plant would not begin operation until around 2020. The company said the planned reactors at the Lee plant would have advanced safety features, including a cooling system that can operate without power.

Duke and Progress, which also are proceeding with a planned merger, are currently seeking approval from North Carolina to raise utility rates to pay for new reactors during construction without going through lengthy hearings. South Carolina already allows the streamlined process that utility companies said re-duces debt payments and allows them to cover costs for such large projects. Critics of the proposed rate hikes said they only would transfer the investment burden from Wall Street to the state’s utility customers.

The utility companies already have spent considerable funds on plans for the reactors, but it is unclear if or when they might re-ceive approval for the rate hikes, particularly after the accident in Japan is prompting many to reas-sess nuclear power.

In the wake of the crisis in Japan, The Southern Alliance for Clean Energy is asking power companies to delay plans for additional reactors in the region. The group, which promotes al-ternative energy sources, said the utility companies should further study their safety systems to make

sure they are sufficient.The power companies said the

new reactors in South Carolina would be designed to withstand the strongest earthquake ever recorded in the region, an 1866 quake in Charleston, S.C. that measured between 6.6 and 7.3 on the Rich-ter scale. The s t r o n g e s t quake recorded in North Caro-lina was 5.8 in the western part of the state. The earthquake in Japan that caused a damaging tsunami was 9.0. Nuclear industry experts said inland reactors in the Carolinas would not be at risk of such a large tsunami.

The utility companies said im-provements were also made to ex-isting nuclear plants in the past to avoid some of the problems seen at the Fukushima plant in Japan. The Nuclear Regulatory Commis-sion required changes after Sept. 11, 2001 so the reactors could better withstand large explosions and fires. Duke Energy installed standby shutdown systems and hydrogen igniters, which prevent the type of gas explosions that damaged the Fukushima reactors.

***Stores in Western North Caro-

lina said they’ve seen a run on potassium iodide pills while the nuclear crisis in Japan has un-folded over the past week. Stores such as Nature’s Pharmacy in Asheville said they sold out of the pills, which are used to prevent radioactive iodine from causing thyroid cancer, and have begun making more to keep up with the demand. Scientists have said there is no risk of harmful radia-tion levels in North America, but that hasn’t stopped many from rushing to stores for the pills. Na-ture’s Pharmacy said it received some of the last raw chemical supply needed to make more pills and has a waiting list of people ready to buy them.

Organic Pharmacy, a mail-order company in Asheville, said

it also sold out of its supply of potassium iodide, along with any products related to iodine, such as kelp products. The company said many of the orders came from the west coast. The French Broad Food Co-op in Asheville said it does not carry potassium

iodide, but it has sold every product with iodine. Health officials have also warned

against taking potassium iodide pills where there is no risk of harmful radiation, noting the pills can produce harmful side effects.

***North Carolina’s economic

conditions should improve this year, although perhaps not as quickly as previously expected, according to UNC-Charlotte economist John Connaughton. He forecasts the state’s economy

will grow 2.7 percent in 2011, down from his forecast late last year of 3.2 percent. Despite the less favorable outlook, the revised forecast calls for growth at more than twice the 1.3 percent expan-sion seen in the state’s economy last year.

Connaughton said the state added 10,500 net jobs last year, well below the 282,000 jobs lost during the recession. He said the state experienced growth in eight of its 11 economic sectors last year, led by agriculture, services, retail and mining. This year, he expects increased output and employment in at least seven of the state’s 10 nonagricultural sectors and a total net gain of about 46,200 jobs. He predicts the state’s unemployment rate will end the year at about 9.5 percent, down from the current 9.9 percent.

Show will be held this weekend at the Asheville Civic Center. The show, featuring home building and home improvement ideas, takes place from 11 a.m. - 8 p.m. on Fri-day, 10 a.m. - 8 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Sunday. This year’s keynote speaker for the show will be Steve Thomas of the “This Old House” home improvement show. Thomas will speak from 11 a.m. - noon on Sat-urday about green building. The largest home show in the region will take up all three floors of the Asheville Civic Center, s h o w c a s i n g more than 200 exhibits.

***North Carolina legislators are

moving forward with a new law that would create a harsher pen-alty for drunk driving. The N.C. House unanimously approved the law that would eliminate parole and raise the maximum jail time for repeat offenders to 32 months, compared to the current limit of 24 months which is reduced to eight months with parole. “Laura’s Law,” which also raises fines for drunken driving convictions, was proposed in memory of Laura Fortenberry, a 17-year-old in Gaston County, who died last year when she was hit by a drunk driver who had three prior convictions for drunk driving. Following a second vote in the House, the bill will move to the Senate. If ap-proved there, it could take effect on December 1.

The North Carolina chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving said the law could help reduce drunken driving in the state. The chapter reports there are about 75,000 drunk-driving arrests in the state each year, and more than a third of them are for repeat of-fenders.

***Visitors spent more in the

Tarheel State in 2010 than in any previous year, according to an annual study by the U.S. Travel Association. The study reports that visitors to North Carolina, the sixth most visited state in the country, spent a record $17 billion in 2010. The increased tourism spending, up 9 percent from 2009, created 2,000 tourism jobs in 2010 and produced 12.6 percent more in tourism revenue.

The U.S. Travel Association reports that 36.8 million people visited North Carolina in 2010, an increase of 2.5 percent. The state reports that more than 40,000 businesses in North Carolina, employing about 185,500 North

Carol in ians , directly pro-vide products and services to travelers. Visi-tors to the state

spend an estimated $46.6 million per day in the state.

“It’s a consistently growing part of our economy,” said N.C. Governor Bev Perdue. “Visitors and vacationers spend money that helps local economies thrive and creates jobs here in North Carolina, which is my number one priority.”

***The National Park Service has

purchased a 110-acre tract near Waynesville, adding more land to the Blue Ridge Parkway. The land, purchased from the Conservation Trust for North Carolina, in-cludes headwater streams near the boundary of Haywood and Jack-son counties. The Conservation Trust used private donations and grants from the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund and the Pigeon River Fund to purchase 64 acres from Joe and Wilma Jo Arrington, and the couple donated an adjoining 46 acres.

***Home sales in Buncombe

County ended in February a seven-month losing streak, according to figures from the N.C. Mountains Multiple Listing Service. Sales were up 7.9 percent last month,

the first increase in the county since June of last year. The listing service also reports that sales rose 11.4 percent in Henderson County and 8.7 percent in Haywood County, and significant increases were also seen in Madison and Transylvania counties, the other two counties in the service.

Buncombe County recorded 123 sales of existing home in February, up from 108 in January and 114 in February of last year. At the same time, the median price for home sales in February was $182,000, down from $191,500 in January and $191,950 in Febru-ary 2010.

***The Greater Greenville Asso-

ciation of Realtors also reported in increase in home sales and decline in prices in February. Sales in the Greenville, S.C. metropolitan area rose to 398, an increase of 7 percent from February 2010. The median price was $125,000, down 11.8 percent from a year ago.

***Volvo Construction Equip-

ment plans to close its operation in Asheville, eliminating 220 high-paying jobs in the area. The company, which provided an av-erage salary of $82,400 for local workers, said it’s moving its sales and rental operations to Pennsyl-vania. All of the Volvo employees in Asheville will have the oppor-tunity to relocate to Shippensburg, Pa., where the company is con-solidating its sales, production and engineering operations for North America. Volvo previously closed its assembly plant operations in Arden in March of last year. The Asheville Area Chamber of Com-merce already has begun looking for a tenant to replace Volvo at the 50,000-square-foot building in Biltmore Park. Volvo, which has had a sales headquarters in Ashe-ville since 1976, moved its sales headquarters from downtown to Biltmore Park in 1999.

Operation Medicine Drop at Columbus CVS March 25

Area residents who have old or unneeded prescription and over-the-counter medications will have an opportunity to dis-pose of them safely next Friday, March 25.

The CVS in Columbus will hold Operation Medicine Drop March 25 from 3-7 p.m. The pro-gram is part of North Carolina’s second annual Operation Medi-cine Drop, which coincides with National Poison Prevention Week.

Safe Kids North Carolina is partnering with the State Bureau of Investigation, the Drug En-forcement Administration and other agencies to set up Operation Medicine Drop events through-out the state where people can safely dispose of old or unneeded prescription and over-the-counter medications.

Operation Medicine Drop is

part of a grassroots effort work-ing on medication disposal. By providing safe and secure ways for people to get rid of unwanted medications, Operation Medicine Drop helps prevent accidental poisonings and drug abuse while protecting the state’s waters. This is a partnership of the Riverkeep-ers of North Carolina, Com-munity Anti-Drug Coalitions of North Carolina and local law enforcement agencies.

In 2010, more than 2 million doses of medications were re-trieved and destroyed at nearly 200 take-back events for medi-cation disposal across the state.

House of Flags holds ‘mini’ work day Saturday

The House of Flags will hold a “mini” work day on Saturday, March 19 starting at 9 a.m. The projects will be a bit smaller than the work of the past two work days and will include:

• Patching nail holes and divots in the block walls with mortar;

• Removing staples and insula-tion paper bits from the ceiling in the center room;

• Waterproofing the alleyway wall with brush on Thoroseal (inside & outside).

The steel roofing is going on the lobby and restroom addi-tions, electrical wiring for lights and outlets is continuing, the fire alarm system is being wired and all the old electrical circuits have been disconnected and removed. Brickwork on the front should be completed next week. The concrete entry sidewalk should be poured next week.

I’m almost 65, how should I prepare for Medicare?Turning 65 is a lot like turn-

ing 16. When you turned 16, you didn’t automatically get your driver’s license; instead you had to take an exam and prove that you were a safe driver. There was a specific order and procedure for getting your driver’s license, and the same is true for enrolling in Medicare for the first time when you turn 65.

Much like you anticipated turning 16 and getting your driver’s license, you must an-ticipate and plan for becoming a Medicare beneficiary. Don’t wait until you’re 65 to start thinking about your Medicare choices.

Start now and let the Department of Insurance’s SHIIP (Seniors’ Health Insurance Information Program) help you.

SHIIP provides free, unbiased information about Medicare and other insurance-related issues, and there are SHIIP sites in all 100 counties in North Carolina. It is recommended that you review your Medicare options before you need to enroll so that you don’t make any hurried decisions at the last minute. Your Medicare choices will depend on several factors including:

1. Are you retired, or will you or your spouse continue to work?

2. Will you have access to medical and/or prescription drug coverage through an Employer Group Health Plan?

3. How does your Employer Group Health Plan compare with Medicare supplement plans and Medicare Advantage plans?

Of course there are other things to consider when deter-mining your Medicare options. SHIIP has created a handout meant to help you navigate the Medicare system and initial en-rollment process. The handout, “The Road to Medicare,” out-lines the decisions you’ll need to make and what options are

available through the Medicare system. To obtain a free copy of “The Road to Medicare,” call SHIIP at 1-800-443-9354 or visit SHIIP’s website at www.ncshiip.com.

You can also meet with a cer-tified SHIIP Volunteer Counselor in your community to discuss your Medicare options. To ar-range an appointment with a SHIIP Volunteer Counselor, con-tact the SHIIP Coordinating Site in your county; if you don’t know the local contact information, call SHIIP at 1-800-443-9354 or visit www.ncshiip.com.

Letter to the Editor

Perspective ontravel and tourism

To the Editor: March 10, 2010To the Polk County Com-

missioners:I have been reluctant to voice

an opinion about the future of the Travel Advisory Board and the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce until more facts were available.

As someone who sits on both boards, it gives me a unique perspective.

As a taxpayer, given chal-lenges of the economy, I would fully support a vote by the Commissioners to cut from the budget county monies currently going into the Travel & Tourism Department.

Obviously, this opens the topic of how to continue pro-moting tourism, which is a vital part of our local economy with just the accommodations tax. The CFCC was approached to see if they were interested in taking on this task.

The CFCC board voted to look into the proposal further for additional facts before making a decision. Only at the recent meeting on March 9th, after careful consideration and dis-cussion, did the board agree to formally submit their desire to take on this endeavor.

I abstained from the vote.Unfounded and unfair state-

ments have been lodged against the Chamber; questioning their abilities to take on this project. My experience with the CFCC has been an incredible one.

The volunteer board mem-bers are a positive, intelligent group of business owners com-mitted to promoting the local economy and commerce. This includes tourism related indus-tries.

Since the money involved is coming from Polk County tour-ism tax dollars, the Chamber is well aware of the restrictions that would be placed on funds and would use them accord-ingly.

The website and marketing would be for Polk County tour-ism efforts only. The Carolina Foothills Chamber of Com-merce is more than capable of handling and building upon the foundation started by Travel and Tourism Department.

With that being said, whether it be placed under the Chamber auspices, Economic Develop-ment Commission or another en-tity, I believe the most important item for them to understand is the development of tourism as a whole and not just one element.

Attractions and events need places for people to stay and those coming to stay are look-ing for something to do. The cycle feeds itself and, therefore, should be promoted as such.

Thank you for your consid-eration.

– Laura Weicker

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

A pair of kittens arrived at Foothills Humane Society ap-proximately a month and a half ago, so for all intent and pur-poses, they are still kittens.

Unfortunately kittens arriving at the shelter are not an uncommon event, thus stories pertaining them would quickly become redundant.

This pair though, quite differ-ent in appearance, were from the same litter. They were whimsi-cally named, Donnie and Marie. Donnie, the male, is a short-haired orange tabby, while Marie sports a silky long haired bluish grey coat.

It was quickly learned that the siblings had degenerative eye prob-lems and drops and salves were immediately administered. Marie turned out to be totally blind while Donnie had sight in one eye but the other eye was severely swollen.

In their cages, Donnie was Marie’s guide as he lovingly b r o u g h t h e r toys, led her to the litter box and shared his food and water. Both absolutely loved human interactions as they cud-dled and purred with each touch.

It goes without saying they cap-tured everyone’s heart at the shelter.

Except for her blindness Marie’s eyes soon cleared but Donnie’s bad eye would not heal. He was sent off to Cloverfield Veterinary clinic in Green Creek to have it permanently

Donnie and Marie: Out of sight

popper (photo submitted)

closed because it was deemed use-less. Marie imme-diately went into a funk and became listless without her brother.

We learned that very evening that Donnie too was behaving in the same manner.

The very next morning Marie was sent to be with Donnie. Once together they soon became playful and loving again. For the time it took to heal and close Donnie’s eye, both were happy to be together. When they were brought back to the shelter they resumed their playfulness and continued to steal hearts.

Today they are being fostered in the loving home of Julie, a good friend and volun-teer to the shelter.

Julie nearly lost her precious

cat Riley in a fire but today Riley is healed and getting along with her German Shepherd and three other cats.

I’ve recently visited Donnie and Marie and was amazed on how well they were doing. They are still as loving and playful as ever and I could never imagine a heart not being broken as you touch Marie

as she begins purring and seeks out your hand. At first she was carried to her food, water and litter but Donnie soon taught her what to do.

We may never know what cre-ates such bonds between animals. I have seen it often but never at this level.

I have also witnessed such bonds between animals and hu-mans and have been privileged to experience them personally.

Someday the right people will come to the Humane Society and adopt this pair of wonderful kit-tens, for it is obvious that they must go together.

These people will be lucky enough to experience this glorious bond and if they play their cards right, they too can become a part of it. I can’t think of a happier conclu-sion for these two precious felines.

It would be more than won-derful, it out be out of sight.

Ripley’s believe it or not of TVI nearly contacted ‘Ripley’s

Believe it or not!’ last week.Let me begin by telling you

that, generally, the television Paul and I enjoy watching as we sputter through our middle years is ‘Masterpiece Theatre,” “Travels With Rick Steves,” and nearly everything on BBC America.

Perhaps it comes from living in Los Angeles for 15 years and getting my fill of ‘The Night Stalker,’ riots, and robberies on the nightly news. And, frankly, even living here in the Up-state, there’s always one or two murders that lead the evening broadcast.

So, you see, when I am watching TV for leisure, the last thing I want to do is watch graphic violence. I don’t mind a murder too much as long as it was written by Agatha Christie and there’s lots of lovely, Eng-lish villages to soak up as well

as good man-ners and end-less pots of tea.

H o w e v e r , there are times when it’s just good fun to take a look at popular culture and here is where Paul and I differ.

He thoroughly enjoys “Top Chef” but staunchly refuses the other reality fare preferring to read instead.

For my defense, it should be said that I have never seen “Jer-sey Shore” or “The Bachelor” ever. I once tried a few minutes of “Survivor” and had the same reaction as a toddler does when he grabs his dad’s beer glass by mistake and takes a glug.

But “American Idol” has always intrigued me because a couple of legitimate stars have been launched from this show and true talent is involved. I

would flip to it while Paul had d i s a p p e a r e d to check his email and, just as I began to get hooked, could

feel his presence hovering disapprovingly in the doorway.

“Are you going to watch that?”

“Well, just for a few min-utes,” I said, not turning my eyes from Kelly Pickler’s heart-breaking childhood.

The next sound I would hear would be his sigh and heavy tread upon the stairs, carrying Benjamin Franklin’s biography.

“It’s really pretty good!” I called after him.

“Yes,” he replied. “I’m sure it is. Mesmerizing.”

Flash-forward to this sea-son’s “ Idol” and just imagine my utter disbelief to see it listed among recorded events on our

DVR. Shaken, I turned to Paul and said, “Idol? Are you aware of this? Were you meaning, instead, to record ‘I Claudius?”

“No,” he mumbled, flipping through a LL Bean catalog. “I hear it’s very good this year.”

It’s a heckuva shock to learn some new aspect of your better half’s behavior after 20 years.

Suddenly I felt a kinship to women who suddenly learn their husband has a secret other life...a second wife or a gam-bling addiction.

Somewhat numbly, I sat while he cued up the program and we watched the first epi-sode. Then the second and third. We compared singers. We dis-agreed on who should be sent home. We reveled in the final 24. And then it happened.

Peering over from the love-seat, I caught Paul in profile, slumped comfortably against

the back of the sofa, reading glasses sliding down his nose, the light from the television filigreeing the top of his graying head as he focused intently on something in his hands.

“What are you doing?” I

asked.“Texting.” he chirped. “Who

do you want to vote for?”“You’re voting?” I splut-

tered. “Are you kidding me? YOU are texting a vote?” and burst into gales of laughter that only began to annoyed him. “YOU who would never watch this show and only made con-

It’s not like before.”“You’ve never watched it

before!”“Well, I’m watching it now.”

he said abruptly, then added. “So do you want to vote for the skinny red-haired guy or Jakob?”

“Hello, Ripley’s? You ain’t gonna believe this!

Carolina Miracle League set to begin play Monday, March 21The Carolina Miracle League

Board of Directors recently announced that the league will begin its fifth season of play on Monday, March 21 at Miracle Park inside the North Spartan-burg Sports Complex in Boiling Springs, S.C. The league boasts 80 players for the spring, split into six teams. CML players will be guided by a total of 22 coaches this season.

“We continue to be blessed by this community and their support of Miracle League baseball,” said CML executive director Pam Dean. “We have 14 new players

with us this spring and we also welcome a host of new coaches to work with our kids. As always, the many volunteers who step up to be buddies at our games is very gratifying and all our dates were filled with groups looking to be buddies many weeks ago.”

The Carolina Miracle League (CML), founded in 2001, pro-vides children with disabilities in Spartanburg, Union and Chero-kee counties in South Carolina and Rutherford and Polk counties in North Carolina the opportunity to participate in an organized baseball league. The CML holds

all games at Miracle Park, located inside the Spartanburg County Parks and Recreation Depart-ment’s North Spartanburg Sports Complex at 1160 Old Furnace Road, Boiling Springs, S.C.

Dedicated in 2007, Miracle Park features a ProTraxx play-ing surface that accommodates wheelchairs and walkers. This project was funded in part by Spartanburg County Commu-nity and Economic Development Department through the use of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Development Block Grant Funds.

To become a volunteer with the Carolina Miracle League or to make a donation, visit www.carolinamiracleleague.com, call 864-579-1805 or write to: Caro-lina Miracle League, 530 Old Converse Road, Spartanburg, SC 29307. Donations may be made directly to the Carolina Miracle League, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization.

Visit www.free2playatmira-clepark.com to become involved in the efforts to build a playground for children and families of all abilities adjacent to Miracle Park.

worn pages was a glimpse of times past, the people who lived and worked here. I found the follow-ing article particularly interesting:

Something NewThe government statistics were

not consulted, but Mrs. Carroll G. Bennett has compiled the following new things that have come within the past 25 years to affect our lives.

Atom bomb; antibiotics; air mail; balloon tires; safety tubes; bazooka; bubble gum; cellophane; C. I.O.; diesel locomotives and ocean liners; hydromatic gear shift; hydrogen bomb; hi octane gas; dry

Thank you to Mr. James Payne for sharing his copy of the Tryon Daily Bulletin’s 25th Anniversary Souvenir Edition.

The edition was published Friday, Jan. 30, 1953 and has a shiny silver cover with blue let-tering. The pages are yellowed and the edges tattered and torn, but it is a true treasure.

Mr. Payne has kept this copy for more than 58 years. Having been here for a while now I’m not surprised a reader would still have a copy and wouldn’t be surprised to find there are more treasured copies in homes throughout the community.

Once I picked it up and opened to the first page I was unable to put it down. Inside those yellow and

In 1953 turning on a televi-sion, warming up a frozen dinner and mixing a cake from a mix still held wonder and awe for many. I wonder what they would think of the new things that have come since then.

Harmon Field’s Serendipity Kids Ranch seeks gardening toolsHarmon Field is host to Ser-

endipity Kids Ranch, an after school and summer camp for kids ages 3 – 12, located in the former middle school building. Camp director Lorna Dever guides after-schoolers, camp-ers and staff at Serendipity’s program where kids come to learn and grow.

Springtime gardening is an activity the kids love and the program needs local help. Landrum Hardware has given the program a jumpstart with a new wheelbarrow and lots of seeds. Other donations of garden tools and accessories would be appreciated.

Dori Ray, a local mother with a passion for gardening and teaching kids, is the con-tact, as she has volunteered to help get their garden started and keep it going. Lorna, Dori, the staff and Serendipity par-ents are committed to having

healthy, organically grown veggies that aren’t overrun with weeds. With so many helping hands, they currently do not have enough tools to go around.

Contact Dori Ray at 828-

859-6962 if you have any gardening donations or ques-tions. If you would like more information about Serendipity Kids Ranch program, call Lorna Dever at 828-894-3370.

Look for upcoming free gatherings geared around sus-tainable gardening and natural building hosted by Serendipity Kids Ranch at Harmon Field.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Stomp feelings of giving up When trying to lose weight and

get in shape, ever feel like giving up? See if this sounds familiar. You’re dieting and exercising.

One moment you feel like you’re on top of your game. You feel great. You feel like you can do this forever.

The next minute, you’re telling everyone who will listen how sick you are of dieting and ex-ercising. Please don’t feel like you’re alone. I totally understand this feeling.

Think about it. After I’ve trained people all day long, do you think I say to myself, “Oh boy, now I get to work out”? It’s tough some-times, but you still CAN do it. You can make real, positive changes to your body, even if you’ve failed a thousand times before.

One of my clients who drives all the way from Charlotte, said she had tried just about every diet and exercise program she had heard of, but she gave it one more try, and has lost 71 pounds so far.

There are a variety of reasons we sometimes feel like giving up.

One of the biggest, is we don’t see results fast enough. Remem-ber, changing eating habits and starting an exercise program are lifestyle changes. These changes should be made slowly.

Some folks don’t stick to their program because they don’t think it’s fun. I explain it to clients this way. I doubt you wake up every morning, and say to yourself, “I can’t wait to get in there and brush my teeth, cause I’ve been looking forward to it all night long.”

No, of course not.

The reason you get in there to brush your teeth is that the alternative is much more painful.

View your exercise and diet program the same way… as just part of your daily routine.

Don’t give up and binge just because you’re not motivated at

any particular moment. If you don’t feel like eating “clean” or going to the gym

one day… don’t. You’re not going to destroy your whole program, just because you take a day off.

Also, don’t beat yourself up just because you fall off the wagon and eat poorly one day.

You can do no more harm to your diet by eating bad one day, than you can add benefit to your diet by eating good just one day. Another reason some people get frustrated when try-ing to stay healthy and get fit, is they don’t know how to put their exercise and nutrition programs together.

Get help from a professional trainer and nutritionist. They can not only help keep you motivated, but can guide you through all the nu-ances of diet and exercise programs.

Fitness or nutrition question? Email me at [email protected], or go to fitness4yourlife.org.

David Crocker of Landrum has served as strength director of the Spartanburg Y.M.C.A., strength coach S.C. state champion girls gymnastic team, USC-Spartan-burg baseball team, Converse col-lege equestrian team, lead trainer L.H.

Letter to the Editor

Don’t supportimminent domainTo the Editor:

Imminent domain??At Monday’s commissioner

meeting, the subject of “Rails to Trails” once again was a hot item.

After Mr. Whitson’s report stating that the railroad firmly said there would be no release of the right-of-way for the pro-posed park, the three-member

majority of the commissioner’s board still refused to rescind the “Resolution of Support” for the Rails to Trails effort by a three to two vote.

Although, the property own-er deeds state that their property lines go to the middle of the tracks, and they have paid prop-erty taxes accordingly, it seems that the commissioners not by words, but by actions support “Imminent Domain” for the landowners.

Shame! Shame!– Keith Holbert

Upstairs Artspace plans fifth Silent Art Auction

Gail Muir and Harry Sparshott with a piece of donated art. (photo submitted)

The Upstairs Artspace is now accepting donations of fine art and craft for the fifth Silent Art Auction to be held April 1 - April 9. The popular event is one of the nonprofit organization’s most successful fundraisers.

Everyone has art they are willing to part with, but instead of storing it in a closet, they can donate it to a worthwhile cause. The auction is also a boon for people looking for big bargains in art. The art can be from any time period or country; be made by recognized or unknown art-ists; be two or three-dimension-al or be framed or unframed. Original art is preferred.

Art donations should be brought to the Upstairs during regular business hours, Tues-day through Saturday, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. Or call 828-859-2828 to make other arrangements, including pick-ups for large or cumbersome art. Deadline for deliveries is Sunday, March 27.

The art will be on exhibit

for a week. During this time people can view the art and place their bids. On Saturday, April 9, the bidding in the silent auction will close at 4 p.m. At 5 p.m. auctioneer Bill Jones will conduct a live auction of selected art, much of it donated

by regional artists. A wine and cheese party will add to the excitement.

Gail Muir and Harry Spar-shott are co-chairs of the event. For further information call 828-859-2828.

Tryon’s Blitzen Benz racing team wins at RockinghamTryon’s own sports car road

racing team, Blitzen Benz, won the ChumpCar World Series 7-hour endurance race at Rock-ingham Speedway on Sunday, March 13, by a two-lap margin.

The winning Mercedes-Benz 190E race car is owned and prepared by Ned Gallaher of Gallaher Restorations. In addi-tion to Gallaher, who resides in Asheville, drivers were Warren Board of Tryon, Hans Huwyler and Peter Mayrhofer of Co-lumbus and Mark Thomas of Winchester, Va.

The Blitzen Benz team members’ average age is among the oldest competing in this na-tionwide series for “affordable” sports car racing. Nevertheless, it has won more races during the past year than any other team in the series, contributing most of its winnings to charity.

Crew chief Rusty Tredinn-ick and pit chief Greg Pressley credit the first win of the 2011

season to a new engine, suspen-sion tuning and other mechani-cal refinements made during the winter – along with effective race strategy and very competitive driving.

C h u m p C a r Wor ld Ser ies rules specify that the original race-cars, exclusive of safety equipment meeting SCCA standards, must be valued at no more than $500, although the final investment in a championship contender amounts to many times that amount. A typical starting field consists of more than 30 relatively homely cars, some of which are capable of wheel-to-wheel road racing at

speeds exceeding 145 mph.On Saturday, April 23, Blit-

zen Benz will race two cars in the “ChumpCar Cup Chal-lenge,” a 14-hour endurance contest on the 2.25 mile road course at the Charlotte Motor

Speedway. Because NASCAR has not scheduled a race on Eas-ter weekend, several NASCAR Cup and Nationwide teams, along with some ARCA teams, are expected to compete.


Polk County Campus ICC Foundation off to good startThe Polk County Campus

(PCC) Isothermal Community College (ICC) Foundation has begun its 2010-2011 term with three new members: Dick Arm-strong, Betsy Carr and Judy Lair. They join Lisa Barrows, Alan Batchelder, Sally Jo Carter, Bernard Eiserloh, Thad Harrill, Darlene McFarland (VP), Liz Quattlebaum (treasurer), Heath-er Smith (secretary), Kathy Taft, Gorden Threlfall, Sherril Wingo (president) and Priscilla Yeager.

The board’s continued focus is the Polk County New Centu-

ry Scholars program that selects three seventh graders each year and mentors them through high school graduation. If the scholar has maintained good grades, participated in community service and remained drug and alcohol-free, he or she is guar-anteed two years of tuition-free education at Isothermal Com-munity College in Spindale.

To raise money for its New Century Scholars program, the foundation annually hosts a golf tournament at The Cliffs at Glassy. Area businesses and

friends support this tournament through teams, monetary contri-butions and in-kind donations.

The 2011 tournament is scheduled for Monday, October 24. Proceeds from the first two tournaments allowed the Polk ICC Foundation to start an endowment fund specifically for New Century Scholars at the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF). With more students joining the program each year, this fund will ensure its future.

In 2010, the PCC ICC Foun-

dation received a bequest of $25,000 from Mary F. Kessler, a local supporter of Polk’s Iso-thermal Community College, and used it to create another PCCF fund that addresses gen-eral needs of the Polk County campus now and in the years to come.

Donations may be made to Polk ICC Foundation, 1255 W. Mills Street, Columbus, or to either of the two funds at the Polk County Community Foundation.

Tryon’s April Fools Festival announces scheduleTalent show registration due March 23

The Tryon Downtown De-velopment Association is kick-ing off this year’s April Fools Festival with a street dance on Friday, April 1. Starting at 6:30 (ish) - 10 p.m. you can dance the night away on McCown Street with DJ Mike Phillips. Jose Rivera will be there with his fire wood pizza and bever-ages can be purchased from the TDDA beer and wine wagon. The Tryon Fine Arts Center will host a dance contest for those that can really boogie down.

On Saturday the fun begins around 11 a.m. You will find booths, games and music in the depot parking lot. Hot dogs, BBQ and pizza will be avail-able for purchase as well as beer, wine and soft drinks. The Mill Spring Agricultural Center will also host a petting zoo.

Brush up your Shakespeare,

tune your guitar and practice your pirouettes because at 1 p.m. at the movie theater you can participate in the “Tryon’s Got Talent” show. This is not a competition but rather a chance to display your special talents. Do you dance? Can you sing? Play the saw? Any and all talent is welcomed and encouraged. So get your act together and let Kathleen know what you will be doing by March 23 at 5 p.m. Kathleen can be reached at 828-859-8316.

There will be a run-through on Saturday, March 26 at 11 a.m. at the movie theater. Bring your music on a CD, labeled with your name and talent. Pre-registration is required, but there is no charge to enter. Is your special talent being an audience member? You can do that too – a small admission goes to TDDA.

You will get out in time for the big parade, which starts at New Market and Trade streets

at about 3 p.m. All are welcome to be in the parade – you don’t need a float. Bring your exotic pets (on a leash) wear a silly hat and sport a smile and you are good to go.

After the parade the races are on – starting with the out-houses. This year there will be three categories – “Adults Only,” “Kids Only” and “Any-thing Goes.” You need to pre-register at the Trade St. Coffee Shop. The Foothills Humane Society will have a stroller race. You can be a contestant for a bag or two of pet food to put in your stroller. The pet food will be donated to the shelter when the race is done. It all happens on Trade Street from Palmer to the Rotary Clock Tower.

Head on up to the Old Tryon Depot for the Trashion Show held at 4:33 p.m. This is an upscale look at fashions con-structed from recycled/repur-posed materials. Tryon House

is hosting this runway show to benefit the Memorial Gardens at the Foothills Humane Soci-ety. Prizes include gift certifi-cates to Tryon House Apparel.

The evening continues with a Masquerade Ball at Thomp-son’s Landscaping at 83 Palmer Street. The ball is sponsored by Outdoor Living by Bravo and Thompson’s Landscaping, live music will be provided by the Carburetors and food will be provided by Paul Dale. You can even have your fortune told. Admission to the ball is by ticket. Check out the events part of www.ExploreTryon.com for details on all the happenings.

Sponsors include Costco, Carolina First, Re-Max Realty, Vines and Stuff, Main Street Financial, George and Wanda May, Outdoor Living by Bravo, Thompson’s Landscaping, McKinsey Printing, Kathleen’s Gallery and Saluda Forge and Tryon House.

Tryon Estates, located at 617 Laurel Lake Drive in Co-lumbus, will sponsor an AARP driver safety program on Tues-day, March 22 from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. at the estates administra-tive building. The event is open to the public and there is no test. There is a nominal fee.

Safe driving is a challenge for all drivers. For older driv-ers changes in vision, hearing, reaction time and judgment are more likely than with younger drivers. As a group, older peo-ple are more likely to experi-ence health impairments that affect their driving skills and may make their driving unsafe.

AARP developed the “Drive Safety Program” to help older drivers learn safety strategies and tips to help the

adapt to physical and mental changes relating to aging. The four hour course, taught by AARP trained volunteers, is designed to help participants understand the effects of ag-ing on driving, learn driving strategies that take into ac-count the effect of aging, identify common crash situ-ations faced by older drivers, reduce the chances of having a crash, update knowledge of today’s roads and traffic laws, vehicles and other road users and think about how they drive and when it may no longer be safe to drive.

Non Tryon Estates residents are asked to call William Boyd at 828-859-7605 to register for the class.



Patient safety remains top priorityAt St. Luke’s Hospital,

we’re celebrating National Pa-tient Safety Awareness Week, a few days to bring attention to a major focus in our hospi-tal every day –– keeping our patients safe at all times. With every patient encounter and every procedure, patient safety remains our focus — always has been and always will be.

In recognition of National Patient Safety Awareness Week, I’d like to assure you every one of us at St. Luke’s Hospital will continue to the journey towards patient safety and meeting the goals set for all hospitals by The Joint Commission. National Patient Safety Goals represent ongoing opportuni-ties for improvement that can immediately benefit patients.

The Joint Commission (TJC) is the agency that in-spects hospitals and other providers to insure we are meeting stringent requirements to provide high quality health-care. TJC has determined goals that hospitals nationwide must achieve.

They are: improve the ac-curacy of patient identification; improve the effectiveness of communication among care-givers; Improve the safety of using medications; reduce the risk of healthcare associated infections; accurately and com-pletely reconcile medications across the continuum of care; identify patient safety risks;

encourage pa-tient’s active involvement in their own care; and meet expectations of the Universal Protocol.

So, what have we at St. Luke’s implemented to meet these goals and provide a safe environment for our patients?

For starters, we snap a pic-ture of each patient who is admitted to St. Luke’s, as well as those who are here for out-patient surgery. The photo is added to the patient’s perma-nent record and used as an extra precaution to improve the ac-curacy of patient identification.

Our staff will always check your armband, and now they have a visual record as well. This is especially helpful in checking the identity of a patient who is confused or groggy from sedation. Perhaps a patient leaves the hospital against medical advice, or one with Alzheimer’s may leave the hospital, lost and confused. We now have a real way to ID the missing patient. That’s hy-pothetical but possible. It has happened in other places, so we need to be prepared.

Throughout any outpatient visit or hospitalization, we’ll double-check your identity by asking your name, date of birth and using your armband. As a matter of fact, you may think it’s too much, but for patient

safety, we can-not do enough.

Take sur-gery, for in-s t a n c e . S t . Luke ’s and

hospitals across the country are taking a “time out” just before surgery to make absolutely cer-tain we have the right patient in the operating room for the right procedure at the right site.

“Time Out” means extra precautions to patients, even if it seems a little bothersome. In accordance with protocols, St. Luke’s staff will confirm with our patients several times their names, date of birth, their procedure and the correct site for surgery.

Patients may wonder, “How many times are you going to ask me that?” Just know it’s for safety purposes. And we’ll mark the surgical site, using permanent marker that is vis-ible after the skin is draped and prepped. Again, this is for your safety. These are national standards known as “Universal Protocol for Preventing Wrong Site, Wrong Procedure and Wrong Person Surgery.”

For some time now, our patients have benefited from special hospital beds equipped with alarms that alert staff and prevent patient falls. Another step to meet patient safety goals is the computerized sys-tem of managing medications and preventing drug interac-

tions and allergies. Omnicell is an automated cabinet that securely stores and rapidly dis-penses medication on patient care units.

The Omnicell has reduced medication errors and in-creased the efficiency of the clinical staff. It tracks con-trolled substances and alerts staff of discrepancies, allergies and drug interactions. In the hospital industry, medication errors are, by far, the most common mistakes although usually without consequence.

These are just a few of the systems we have in place at St. Luke’s Hospital for our patients’ safety. In a future column, I’ll be glad to share more patient safety protocols St. Luke’s physicians and staff follow to ensure you re-ceive exceptional care, close to home.

St. Luke’s Hospital is a not for profit, acute care hospi-tal affiliated with Carolinas HealthCare System of Char-lotte, NC, for specialized man-agement expertise, experience with developing strong com-munity-based clinical services, and participation in revenue and purchasing contracts.

CHS is the largest health-care system in the Carolinas and the third largest public system in the nation. St. Luke’s Hospital is committed to pro-viding Exceptional Care, Close to Home.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Gifts

Q. should I use my applicable exclusion ($1million) during my lifetime or upon my death?A. Many people have the misconception that it is best to “save” their applicable exclusion amount until their death.However, a more powerful leveraging technique is to utilize it during your lifetime. If you use your applicable exclusion amount by making lifetime gifts, the value of the gifts will appreciate in the recipients’ hands and not in your taxable estate. Between investment growth and inflation, the value of the gift should be substantial. For example, assuming the value of your gift will double every 7.2 years, if your life expectancy is 21 more years, a $1 million gift will be worth $8 million in the hands of the recipients at the end of the time. assuming a 55% tax rate, you would have to leave over $17.7 million to provide your heirs with the same amount.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Lifetime QTIP

Q. My husband and I have an estate of $3 million, but his share of our property is only $300,000. Is there any way to ensure my husband’s estate will use the applicable exclusion amount if he dies first and ensure that my property will go to my children after we are both gone?A. YesAs it currently stands if your husband dies before you do, only $300,000 will be in his estate and the benefit of the full exclusion amount ($1million) will be lost. By using a lifetime QTIP trust, you can make a tax-free gift to your husband but control the use of that gift. The value of the QTIP will be included in your husband’s estate and not yours. You can provide that when you are both gone, the property remaining in the QTIP trust is to go to your children. This technique accomplishes both goals of reducing estate taxes and ensuring that your children receive the benefit of your assets.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Corporate Trustee

Q. What is a corporate trustee and why would I use one.A. A corporate trustee is a bank trust department or trust company. They can help you build, manage and protect the assets you put in your trust. reasons to use a corporate trustee: Professional asset management. they can manage assets in your trust now and after you die as you instruct, buying and selling assets, paying bills, filing tax returns maintaining accurate records, and distribution income and asses. Corporate trustees give their full attention to managing trust assets and because of their resources and experience they often do so with better results. Wealth protection: Corporate trustees are regulated by both state and federal agencies. Courts consider them “experts” and expect them to meet higher standards than non professionals.Corporate trustees don’t become ill, die, get divorces or get distracted by personal problems.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Q. How do I evaluate a corporate trustee?A. Talk to several. ask how long the trust department or company has been in business, how many trusts do they manage, minimum and average sizes of the trusts and how much experience the staff has. Compare investment returns and fees. ask to see samples of statements or reports and see if you understand them clearly. Facts are important, so are the people. Do they seem to care? Do they listen? How comfortable are you that they will be there for your family when needed. remember, a corporate trustee need not be the sole trustee. If you are concerned about the “human” touch, you can always appoint a co-trustee who is a family member or friend.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Dear Savvy SeniorAre there organizations or

businesses that specialize in helping seniors sell their house, find a new home and help them relocate to it? My wife and I are interested in downsizing from our home of 35 years, but need some help with the entire process. What can you tell us?

Slow Movers

Dear Slow,The process of selling a house

and moving to a new home, or downsizing to a condo or an apartment, is a huge job that can be physically and emotion-ally exhausting, especially for seniors. Fortunately, there are a variety of specialized services available today that can help make it a little easier. Here’s what you should know.

Buying and SellingTo get help selling your home

and finding a new one, a good place to start may be with a Seniors Real Estate Specialists (SRES).

These are realtors that have received special training, mak-ing them better equipped to help older clients through major financial and lifestyle transitions involved in relocating, refinanc-ing, or selling the family home.

SRES designees are educated and knowledgeable in such areas as reverse mortgages, senior housing options, downsizing,

universal design, as well as ways to use pensions, 401k accounts and IRAs in real estate transac-tions.

They can also help you steer clear of loan scams that victimize older borrowers. And if you need help from other professionals, a SRES can put you in touch with qualified home inspectors, mov-ers, attorneys, CPAs and other experts.

To learn more or to search for a SRES in your area, visit sres.org or call toll-free 800-500-4564. The SRES Council also offers a free “Moving On” guide to help seniors with the decisions and transitions that come with moving. To get a copy, call their previously listed toll-free number or visit their website.

Making the MoveTo help you get packed-up and

move, another specialty service you should know about is “senior move managers.”

These are organizers who assist older people with the challenges of relocating, and can minimize the stress of this major transition by doing most of the work for you. They can help you pare down your belongings, decide what to take and what to dispose of, recommend charities for donations and help sell your unwanted items.

They also get estimates from moving companies, oversee the movers, arrange the move date, supervise the packing and un-packing, have the house cleaned and just about anything you need related to your move.

Costs vary depending on the services and size of the move, but you can expect to pay between $1,000 and $5,000, not including the cost of movers.

To locate a senior move man-ager visit the National Associa-tion of Senior Move Managers website at nasmm.com or call 877-606-2766.

But before you hire one, be sure you ask for references from previous clients and check them. Also find out how many moves they have actually managed, and get a written list of services and fees. And make sure they’re insured and bonded.

If you can’t find a senior move manager in your area, another option is to hire a certified profes-sional organizer – many of whom offer moving/relocating services for seniors.

To find one, check the Na-tional Association of Professional Organizers at napo.net.

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

District governor inducts new Columbus Lions

New Columbus Lions members are (from left): Jane Torres, District Governor George Suggs, Karen Diggs and Jim Diggs. (photo submitted)

Lions District Governor George Suggs recently inducted three new members into the Columbus Lions Club. The first, Jane Torres, had been president of her Lions club in Skowhegan, Maine, before moving to Co-lumbus to be near her sister. In Maine, she worked with the Area Agencies on Aging and helped raise nine stepchildren. She is currently a resident services ac-tivity associate at Tryon Estates.

Two additional new members, Jim and Karen Diggs, are Ohio natives who moved to Landrum for Jim’s work at Timken. Karen is a registered nurse and does pre-surgery testing at Mary Black

Hospital in Spartanburg. After Jim’s retirement from Timken he began playing golf with Lion Ed Weeks who became the sponsor for both Jim and Karen.

In addition to the induction ceremony, District Governor Suggs delivered the message sent to all Lions by Lions Inter-national President – and North Carolina native – Sid Scruggs. Lions are challenged to concen-trate on service, especially in the following four areas: work-ing with the youth, helping the visually impaired, feeding the hungry (including those who are hungry for companionship) and improving the environment. As

the international president speaks to Lions around the world, one of his favorite examples of service is the three-day Visually Impaired Person (VIP) Fishing Tournament at North Carolina’s Outer Banks. More than 500 people participate in this Lions-sponsored activity.

The Columbus Lions are men and women who work together to make the community and the world a better place. Visitors are welcome at their meetings, which are held at 6:30 p.m. on the first and third Thursdays at Calvert’s Kitchen. Contact Pat Recker at 828-894-2615 or Fran Goodwin at 828-894-2505 for more information.
