When the PCHS production of GREASE opens on Friday night, one of the biggest stars of the show will be not a student, but a car.

“This is the fifth time I’ve directed a produc-tion of ‘Grease.’ The most difficult part of each production is finding a car that will work within

the confines of the individual stage,” said director Donna Everett.

Unlike the movie, in the musical version of ‘Grease,’ Greased Lightning is never restored.

“It remains a junk heap throughout the musical, so finding the right car often results in a frustrating search,” Everett said.

Polk rescinds rails to trails resolutionby Leah Justice

Local property owners against the Rails to Trails initiative, a proposal to convert the area’s currently unused railbed to a trail system, have apparently made their points effectively.

After hearing from those against Rails to Trails for months, the Polk County Board of Com-

missioners voted unanimously Monday, April 4 to rescind a resolution commissioners issued Dec. 6, 2010 in support of the initiative.

Commissioner Reneé McDer-mott made the motion to rescind the resolution after reading a written statement (see page 5 for her full statement).

“The Rails to Trails issue is, indeed, moot,” McDermott said.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson announced last month that he had spoken with Norfolk Southern, owner of the rail line, which said the rail line will not be given up because the line is

Waldrop had a 1961 Impala Super Sport that he was using for scrap and offered to allow Everett to use the car in the production. However, the car was not a convertible, an absolute non-negotiable when deal-ing with stage lighting.

Waldrop proposed that the gang of young men in the show work to-gether to remove the top of the car.

Cole Pellatt (Danny Zuko), Cabell Brand (Kenickie), Cade Un-derwood (Doody), Tanner Ramsey (Sonny) and Maverick Yoder (Rog-er) spent a Friday evening learning how to use an acetylene torch to remove the car top. Not only was the car top removed, but the hood was reinforced and a bench seat added to the stripped down vehicle.

“It was great fun. I think we all bonded that night. Having a real car makes the dance even better,” said Yoder.

Also taking a lead role in this year’s production is foreign ex-change student Sihui “Helen” Li of China.

Li said preparing for the musi-

cal has been thrilling, even the long nights of rehearsals.

“Doing this play has really al-lowed me to make so many new friends,” Li said. “Myself and all the students playing the Pink La-dies have really bonded.”

Li said she’s loved to sing and performing on stage all her life. But she said she was nervous at the prospect of trying out for the play.

“I just thought, ‘I’m only here for one year, why not do something special,’” Li said. “I was incredibly surprised to get the lead, especially since before then I had never seen the movie.”

Li has now watched the movie three times and said it’s actually done a lot for her education because she’s learned a laundry list of Eng-lish slang terms she never would have learned otherwise.

‘Grease’ opens this Friday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the high school. The musical continues on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are available by calling 828-894-2525 ext. 261. Tickets will also be available at the door the nights of the show.

still active. Commissioner chair Ray

Gasperson said he recently spoke with the same Norfolk Southern representative, who explained “in no uncertain terms” that the line is still ac-tive. Gasperson also said he was told there is an abundance of coal in this country and if they start exporting coal out of Charleston, S.C., there’s “no doubt you’re going to see a train on this line.”

Commissioner Tom Pack sa id he ap-p r o v e d t h e r e s o l u t i o n in December thinking it was a good thing, but not know-ing at the time that the rail-road is owned by taxpayers in this county who own to the middle of the tracks.

“The people that own [rail-road property] are not for [the Rails to Trails proposal,]” said commissioner Tom Pack. “We need to rescind [our support] and that’s it.”

Property owners against the rails to trails have attended com-missioner meetings for months asking the county to rescind the resolution of support. Property owners have told commission-ers about issues they already have with people trespassing on their property. It is illegal to walk on the railroad tracks.

“I do not want people park-ing in my back yard to have access to this railroad,” said

Joyce Kimpton, whose house abuts the tracks. “I do not want to have to worry about who is on that track.”

Kimpton said just last Friday there were people on the track with backpacks and it’s a danger to her. She said having a father who was murdered in Polk County and a husband who was killed by a drunk-driver, she knows that people don’t obey the law.

Rails to Trails committee chair Andy Millard told com-missioners that the committee never had any intention of push-ing the idea through over the

objections of property own-ers.

“ W e ’ v e learned a lot of things,” Mil-lard said. “One of the things that happened was the people that live along

the tracks and own to the middle of it got blindsided with this and that was tough. They are legitimate concerns and things that need to be looked at.”

Millard said the committee understands the action commis-sioners are taking with rescind-ing their support and appreci-ates all the county has done.

“We are going to continue our work but do it very cau-tiously, very slowly and with sensitivity of those with con-cerns.”

Commissioners also on Monday agreed to send letters to anyone who has received the county’s resolution of support, including Norfolk Southern and Congressman Heath Shuler, to let them know the county has

“I do not want people parking in my back yard to have access to this railroad. I do not want to have to worry about who is on that track.”

McDermott issues statement on rails to trails support

Editor’s note: Following is a statement read by Polk County commissioner Renée McDermott during the county’s Monday, April 4, 2011 meeting when she motioned to rescind the county’s previously approved resolution in support of the Rails to Trails initiative.

A few meetings ago, the Rails to Trails matter was brought up and a motion was made, without any advance warning, to rescind the Dec. 6, 2010 resolution that this board of commissioners had unanimously adopted. Commis-sioner Walker asked to see a copy of the resolution, to be able to consider the motion. No copy was available at that meeting, which was being held at the Green Creek Fire Station. We reasonably asked for time to obtain the resolution and review it before voting on it again. That was a reasonable request.

Interestingly, those who actu-ally have a personal interest in the Rails to Trails question, people who live along the trails, apparently accepted that request and have waited and watched patiently while the matter was considered. I thank them for that.

Unfortunately, a few (who nota-bly do not appear to be personally affected by the issue) have used Rails to Trails to wage a battle for political purposes. Having had some success at harming commis-sioners on a previous board by making false claims of the threat of using eminent domain, they have again raised its specter in an attempt to discredit currently sitting commissioners. There is no threat, and never was any threat, or chance, of using eminent domain for Rails to Trails.

Still, those who want to stir up political animosity in the commu-nity sow falsehoods in the hope of reaping distrust against those with whom they disagree on policy. That has proven to be a success-ful strategy in the past and it is being used again. That must stop. Both commissioners and all other citizens must not let that happen.

Just recently, the North Caro-lina Department of Transportation

came to the county and asked that portions of two roads be removed from the public maintenance rolls. It was supposed to have been done some years ago, but the action did not get completed then. The petitions that the DOT provided the county clearly and specifically stated that only 300 feet of one of the roads and only 400 feet of the other road were to be removed from the maintenance rolls.

Nevertheless, someone ap-proached homeowners on the roads and warned them that the commissioners were preparing to take the whole roads off the rolls. People were understandably upset and concerned. But it simply was not true. Luckily in that case, one of the property owners came to the county manager’s office and asked whether it was true. A simple look at the DOT petitions showed that it was not true, and that there was never any danger to the landown-ers.

That type of inquiry needs to occur in all cases when someone is making claims of others being out to harm them. Ask questions of those against whom the accusations are being made. Don’t simply take a partisan’s word for it.

In the past, commissioners who were accused of various wrongs stood silent in the face of false accusations. That is no longer an option. Too much mischief is ac-complished when that happens. People have said this type of mis-chief must stop. Indeed it must. The way to stop it is for commissioners and other concerned citizens to shine the light of truth on it.

The Rails to Trails issue is, indeed, moot. Unfortunately it is still being used as a divisive po-litical tool to the point of fanciful conspiracy theories being spread.

After having had time to study the terms of the resolution, hav-ing given it much thought, and to attempt to take away one arrow from the quiver of those who use falsehoods to further their political interests, I move that the Dec. 6, 2010 Rails to Trails resolution be rescinded.

Power still out Wednesday morning for some residentsby Barbara Tilly

The spring storm that blew through the area Monday night and Tuesday caused numerous power outages as a result of fallen trees and limbs.

As of Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., 124 Polk County residents and 4,379 Spartanburg County residents were still without pow-er, according to Duke Energy statements.

At the peak of the wind storm, more than 256,000 customers

were without power across the company’s Carolinas service area.

The company said crews con-tinued to work on the problems and estimated that all Polk out-ages would be repaired by 5 p.m. Thursday, April 7. Spartanburg County outages are expected to be restored by 11 a.m. Friday, April 8.

“This storm caused extensive damage to our power delivery system, with repairs needed at more than 5,700 locations,” said Jim Stanley, Duke Energy’s senior vice president of power delivery. “Work at those sites can take sev-eral hours and include tree clear-ing, pole replacements, restringing power lines and replacing trans-formers and other equipment.”

A tree fell on the bed of a truck near Lake Lanier during Tuesday’s high winds. The tree also damaged another car parked nearby. (photo by Carol T. Hand)

Two Landrum women face attempted murder chargesby Bulletin staff

Two Landrum women have been charged with attempted murder in connection with a February incident in Chesnee in which an unidentified victim’s legs were run over by a car.

Teresa Faye Hood, 47, of 128 S. Howard Ave., and Faye Scruggs, 70, of 316 S. Howard Ave., both face attempted murder charges from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office.

According to an incident report, the charges result from

a domestic dispute at Whiteside Drive in Chesnee on February 26. The report said the incident involved Hood, Hood’s ex-hus-band, Scruggs and the victim, who was a woman Hood’s ex-husband was dating.

The vic timwas taken to Spar-tanburg Regional Medical Center, where she was treated and released.

Hood and Scruggs were both arrested Monday and released from the Spartanburg County jail on Tuesday. Hood’s bond was set at $35,000; Scruggs’ at $25,000.

the greatest beneficiary of forgiveness is the one who forgives. As a pastor, one of the tragedies I often witness is how a lack of forgiveness ends up destroying the lives and peace of individuals and families. The cause of the initial conflict can be anything from inconsequential to profound, but the hurt or offense that touches the minds and hearts of those involved can cause permanent harm to the spiritual, emotional and mental health of everyone involved if it is not set aside. in the Bible “to forgive” has two specific meanings: 1) to cancel

or pardon as a debt, and 2) to release from bondage. Both of those meanings can be seen in Jesus’ instruction to his disciples on prayer in matthew 6:9-14. he tells them to ask God to “forgive us our trespasses [sins, debts], as we forgive those who trespass against us.” It is important to note here that the “as” in this case means “in the same way.”

Jesus goes on to say, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”

The grace of forgiveness

in the Lord’s Prayer we ask forgiveness from god to the same degree in which we forgive others their offenses against us, and we are reminded that to forgive or not forgive has consequences. one of the consequences of a failure to forgive is the impairment of our lives in the present. When we will not forgive we carry the burden of our anger as a debilitating load. It hampers our ability to be at peace with ourselves and with all others, and it becomes an impenetrable barrier to love itself – both human and divine.

in every act of true forgiveness we cancel the debt (sin, trespass) that we believe is owed to us and we are set free from the bondage in which we have been held by our anger. that is not to say that every feeling is immediately healed and a broken relationship instantly restored, but it does mean that personal healing can finally begin for the one who forgives, with the assurance that whether one’s forgiveness is appreciated or even recognized by the one forgiven, God’s blessing and grace will be present for the one who chooses

to forgive. in the end forgiveness is a deliberate act of the heart, soul and mind that is chosen no matter how we happen to “feel” about the situation. in doing so we participate in an act of grace and we open ourselves to the healing power of god’s love for us. that being true, when we forgive we receive far more in our forgiveness than the one who has been forgiven.

from where you started. It’s quicker to walk through

the woods.By definition, infrastructure

is the basic physical and or-ganizational structures needed for the operation of a society or enterprise, or the services and facilities necessary for an economy to function.

I want to bring that defini-tion down to what infrastructure means to us right here, right

now, in Polk County.

Now more than ever be-fore, it makes sense to get

everything we need as close to home as we can. That means changing our idea of what we need.

Habit, and marketing, has taught us everything can be done better, and more economically, with faster machines and mod-ern labor-saving products.

But maybe the slower, dirt road will lead us to our desired destination just as well.

Any sustainable infrastruc-ture worth our investment must support local commerce and community.

Maybe paying the man next door more than we’d pay the machine operator from Spartan-burg would be the best decision. The big machine is faster, but it makes a mess.

It crushes whatever comes in its path.

The man works gently; he leaves no mess. And he takes the money you pay him to feed and clothe his children, next door to you. The taxes he pays maintain your own roads.

Maybe some day we’ll real-ize it is just as important to be able to get to the store or house right down the road as it is to get to the city 50 miles away, and create our infrastructure accordingly.

Infrastructure not just interstate highways

Conservation CornerBetsy Burdett

The speaker at last week’s Friends of Agriculture breakfast was Lee Mink, and the topic he spoke on was sustainable agriculture.

One sentence in particular stood out for me.

Lee said that, after years of improving his soil, saving seeds and developing local suppliers and markets, he can get every-thing he needs for his farm busi-ness right here in Polk County.

K e e p i n g in mind most modern agri-culture is heav-ily dependent upon fertilizers and fossil fuels, this is a phe-nomenal statement.

Infrastructure built in this country over the past 60 years has focused almost entirely upon moving people and prod-ucts vast distances.

This made lots of sense when gasoline was cheap, and our focus was on bettering lives by expanding our horizons and markets.

Those interstate highways were built on valleys and farm-lands, and the interstate high-way system connected large towns while also bisecting smaller communities.

Thousands of acres of fer-tile land were covered with asphalt. Rural roads used by tractors, cars and pedestrians were closed. Local traffic was pre-empted by long distance traffic.

From our house it is quicker and easier to get to Henderson-ville than it is to get to Tryon, which is 5 miles closer. I-26 obliterated a half dozen old roads leading from the Green River area to the town to Saluda.

Now to drive to a neighbor 1 mile away it is necessary to drive 5 miles, across I-26, down Howard Gap, then back across I-26 to end up one ridge over

St. Luke’s Hospital and Hospice of the Carolina Foot-hills, along with other na-tional, state and community organizations, are leading a massive effort to highlight the importance of advance health-care decision-making.

This effort has culminated in the formal designation Na-tional Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD).

As participating organiza-tions, St. Luke’s and Hospice are providing information and tools for the public to talk about their wishes with family, friends and healthcare providers, and execute written advance directives (healthcare power of attorney and living will) in accordance with North Carolina state laws.

These resources are avail-able at www.saintlukeshos-pital.com or www.national-healthcaredecisionsday.org.

Specifically, on April 12 at 10:30 a.m., St. Luke’s and Hospice wil l welcome the public with “Coffee and Con-versation: A Discussion About End of Life Issues.”

The program will be held at Isothermal Community Col-lege, Columbus campus.

There will be free informa-tion about advance care plan-ning and advance directive forms.

Dr. Andrew Kamell, attor-ney Ed Harrelson and Chap-lain Dr. Bob Lair, along with socia l worker Meg Hoke, will lead a discussion on ad-

National Healthcare Decisions Day set for April 12

vance care planning and why you should make your future healthcare decisions known to family, friends and healthcare providers.

There will also be staff there to assist in completing the forms.

“Coffee and Conversation: A Discussion About End of Life Issues” will be held again at 6 p.m. at the Inman Public Library in Inman, S.C. Attor-ney David Ingalls will join the panel here.

“As a result of National Healthcare Decisions Day, many more people in our community can be expected to have thoughtful conversations about their healthcare deci-sions and complete reliable advance directives to make their wishes known,” said Dr. Bob Lair, St. Luke’s Hospital chaplain and panel discussion member.

“Fewer families and health-care providers will have to struggle with making difficult healthcare decisions in the absence of guidance from the patient, and healthcare provid-ers and facilities will be better equipped to address advance healthcare planning issues before a crisis and be better able to honor patient wishes when the time comes to do so.”

To make a reservation or for more information about National Healthcare Decisions Day, call 828-894-7000 or 828-894-2408.


April 10 is the 60th anniver-sary of an important event in the history of Tryon Country Club (TCC).

On April 10, 1951 an exhibi-tion match featuring Slammin’ Sammy Snead and Hender-sonville Country Club’s Bill Etheridge against TCC pro Ted Fox and Country Club of Spar-tanburg pro Joe Davis was held. The Hendersonville Times-News said “The appearance of Snead will give golf fans of this section an opportunity to see the game’s longest hitter in action.”

Tryon Country Club celebrates 60th anniversary of 1951 exhibition match

Of additional interest is local high school golfer at the time (and later TCC multiple time club champion) Fred Edwards Sr., who caddied for Sam Snead and recalls Snead hitting all nine greens in regulation and making nine straight pars. No details are available on the winning team.

The year 1951 was a busy year for Snead as he won the PGA championship that year and also was the playing captain of the victorious Ryder Cup Team at Pinehurst in early November.

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.

Life Outside

Four Wallsby Rob

McComas

Turkey and trout seasons open with SpringI must admit it’s hard for me

to write about something other than fishing in April, but this is a long-awaited time for the turkey hunter.

I will concede that the sound of a tom gobbling in response to your call in the dawn hour stirs quite a rush.

Unless you are an overly safe driver, who never takes your eyes from the road, it’s easy to see Polk Co. has an abundant population of wild turkeys.

Many a field has turkeys in it during early morning and late evening this time of year and you can see the toms “strutting their stuff,” all fanned out to impress the ladies.

Since the NC Wildlife started stocking turkeys in this area 20-plus years ago, the population has boomed. It’s not unusual to see as many as 50 in one field, especially on a rainy day.

There were 134 reported tur-key harvests in Polk Co. in 2010. If you don’t report your harvest, there will not be increases in seasons or limits.

The abundant turkey popula-tion seems to have fueled the ever-increasing coyote popula-tion as well. I say this because I hear of more coyotes seen and

killed coming to turkey calls than in any other time of the year or to any other type of call.

There seems to be some mys-tery to just how the coyotes got in the area, but no matter how they got here they seem to be here to stay.

Just a reminder, there is no closed season or limits on coy-otes.

I personally hope the NCWRC starts al-lowing the harvest of non-bearded turkeys and or a fall season to curb the population and to allow the op-portunity to put more of the tasty critter in the freezer.

Wild turkey season opens April 9 and closes May 7. Youth day was April 2.

Trout fishingOkay, I couldn’t help it, let’s

talk fishin.’ Trout fishing opened in hatch-

ery supported waters April 2 at 7 a.m. Don’t fret if you missed it, the crowds and higher water due to rain usually makes opening day less than prime for catching an easy limit.

This is a good time to take a kid trout fishing. With easy ac-cess and the use of bait, it’s easier to get a kid to catch something instead of having them use arti-

ficial lures.Some of my favorite memo-

ries when I was young were trout fishing with my brother-in-law. It was nice to catch something besides a bream.

Some of the preferred trout baits are corn, (Green Giant nib-blets preferably), Berkley Power Bait, and if you can keep the Notty Heads off of them, wig-glers dug up from the yard.

A small #6 or #8 hook, a small splitshot sinker 6-8” above the hook, and you’re fishin.’

the current wash your bait down the river. You’ll get hung up some but I always say, “You got to do what the fish like, not what you like.” Good fishin’ and huntin.’
