For area residents who may need a free meal or some fel-lowship, a group of concerned residents has created the Care Kitchen every Friday.

The Care Kitchen is held at the Polk Baptist Association basement every Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. where area residents can get a hot meal for free if needed. Donations are also accepted to keep the program going.

The idea started with Reba Hudgins and Angie Levi who said during an ice storm a couple of years ago they were worried that some of their neighbors may not be getting proper nutrition.

The group began meeting in March and presented the idea to area churches with Hickory Grove Baptist, Pea Ridge Bap-tist and Mountain Valley Baptist

Bright’s Creek is back in the hands of owners Bill Amick and Jim Roquemore after the two said the most recent owners did not fulfill their commitment.

Protex Investment Group, Inc., pur-chased Bright’s Creek last year under owners Alexander Salgado and Gabri-elle Barragan.

Amick and Roquemore recently sent a letter to Bright’s Creek members, saying they had taken back ownership of the property and are in search of another buyer.

Recent activities over the past week have enhanced the visual presence of Tryon’s downtown corridor.

The Town of Tryon’s Public Works Director Joel Burrell, his crew members, interim Harmon Field Director Travis Aldred, Tryon Business and Tourism Development Coordinator Crys Armbrust and citizen volunteers Larry Eckstein and John Mas-sengill joined forces to leg up all the trees on South and North Trade Streets from New Market to Palmer Streets.

Additionally, approximately half of the redundant signage was removed, most of which were redundant two hour parking signs. A number of additional signs will either be removed or relocated in the upcoming week.

Another noticeable shift in the downtown corridor is the re-spacing of the Tryon Down-town Development Association

(TDDA) memorial benches and trash receptacles. This change is in anticipation of the implemen-tation of a number of hanging flower baskets along Trade Street, an element which has been under discussion over the past year.

Funding for additional baskets is being sought.

The town’s recent Streetscape III infrastructure improvements by Trace & Company on New Market, South Trade and Mc-Cown Streets, combined with the landscaping improvements and the re-figuring of benches were aimed at giving Tryon’s central business district a new visual appeal.

For further information about volunteer opportunities in down-town, contact Crys Armbrust at [email protected] or TDDA President Steve Cobb at [email protected].

Downtown Tryon getting facelift

to some degree or another with our respective portfolios,” said Amick in the letter. “As most of you know, Jim Roquemore and I, through PAR Investments, LLC, have regained ownership of Bright’s Creek ... We have contin-ued to negotiate with prospective buyers, but as of yet, nothing has transpired. We will continue to vet any reasonable offer, which comes from a credible source.”

Amick said until a buyer is found, which could be between two and 24 months, PAR Invest-ments LLC is in the process of hiring an independent homeown-ers association manager, Town & Country Property Management Inc. to manage the community.

PAR Investments LLC has also hired Love Golf Manage-ment to manage the golf opera-tion, according to Amick’s letter.

Amick also said Bright’s Creek is hiring a broker to help find a buyer.

“Each of you deserves a de-veloper and an operator who can increase the value of the property you own,” said Amick. “Jim and I, along with this broker, will continue to search for someone who can take Bright’s Creek to the next level. We have several serious folks looking at the proj-ect, but nothing that is close to a final deal.”

Love Golf Management will recruit a board of stakeholders consisting of 10 Bright’s Creek members and owners who will set club expectations and a dues structure that is “both fair and necessary,” Amick said. Dues will increase for members on a temporary basis with Amick and Roquemore saying they are par-ticipating in the increases as well.

“Having a viable golf course and community is the only way to protect and increase the value of the lots and golf membership we have all invested in,” said Amick. “This will happen very quickly. Jim and I have poured millions into Bright’s Creek by subsidiz-ing the budget. Our life savings have been depleted to a point that

we can no longer carry the load alone. We either need to shut the golf course down or receive an expense offset in the way of dues or assessments. It would be unfair to shut the course down without giving our members and owners a chance to be part of the solution.”

Amick goes on to say this time of year the operating budget for Bright’s Creek is $100,000 per month. In the winter, Amick said the cost per month could be much reduced and there is no interest charge because Bright’s Creek has no bank debt. In short, Amick said, the operating budget will be in the $1 million range annu-ally but that can go up or down depending on the level of service required by the membership and recommended by the new board.

Amick said if members are added, the amount decreases and if Bright’s Creek adds some daily play the amount decreases.

“Since 2007, Jim and I have done our part. We are now asking that you help us bring Bright’s Creek through this transition. In fairness, we know this is not what you bargained for, but no one could have foreseen this re-cession or real estate crash, and the resulting effect it has had on Bright’s Creek. Jim, Scott, and I are working daily to find solu-tions at Bright’s Creek.”

The Polk County Board of Commissioners in April 2011 approved a new development agreement with the new owners Protex Investment Group, Inc. At that time, the new owners said they planned to cluster housing instead of having large, indi-vidual lots and add 1,381 acres of open space. The new owners also had plans to add trails and a Par 3 golf area and a boutique and spa location.

Bright’s Creek is located mostly in Polk County with some areas in Henderson County. The approximate 5,000-acre devel-opment includes a Tom Fazio designed golf course, several homesites built, an equestrian center and lodge.

The Bulletin was unable to reach Amick and Roquemore for comment prior to deadline.

participating. The Polk Baptist Association

agreed to house the kitchen in the downstairs of the building.

Things got off to a slow start, but Hudgins said the volunteers were dedicated and wouldn’t give up.

“We just went to work at it,” said Hudgins. “These workers are the most dedicated there are. Even when we had no one to show up to begin with they didn’t give up.”

The record so far is 36 meals served in one day. Last week the Care Kitchen served 25 meals, consisting of hot dogs, baked beans, coleslaw, chips, drinks and desserts.

This Friday the main dish will be taco salad.

Organizers said they feel the kitchen is making a difference in many people’s lives. One man attending said he is homeless and another woman had been evicted and had canned food but no meat and no money to purchase food.

Hudgins also they’ve seen some people come who are on their lunch break from work and say they’d rather come eat home cooking than get fast food and

give a donation. Others say they enjoy the kitchen for the fellow-ship as much as the home cooked meals.

“Sometimes just a good kind word and a pat on the back goes a long way,” Hudgins said.

Rev. Ronnie Hodge is also available for fellowship for any-one who may need to talk.

“I look forward to it,” said one attendee last Friday. “The food is good and I enjoy the fellowship.”

Volunteers for the program include Hudgins, Levi, Don Sain, Tammy Hodge, Marlene Fisher, Ann Carswell and Eloise Thwing.

Carswell said Thwing is the weekly greeter and has wanted this type of soup kitchen in Polk County for years.

Food is brought from the churches with donations appre-ciated.

The Polk Baptist Association is located at 208 Blanton Street, Columbus. For more information about the kitchen or to help call 828-894-3787.

Excitement builds about the upcoming auction to help ran-som our friend and town sym-bol, Morris, the Tryon horse. Beyond the Morris memorabilia collection on exhibit in TFAC’s Gallery One, ranging in date from 1929 to the present, opportunities will be available at the exhibit gala Saturday, July 28 to assist the fund-raising efforts of the Morris Ransom Project.

Both individuals and busi-nesses have donated a range of items to help raise funds through an auction that evening.

Highlights of the auction will include a 12” x 16” framed plein-air oil on board of Tryon Peak by local painter Richard Baker, who, along with Carl Cartee, will curate the Morris exhibit.

Master glass bead maker Julie McIntyre has created a unique glass bead of Morris as a seahorse. Artisan metal crafts-

man Joe Cooper has offered his Morris 2 — a 2-foot tall copper and bronze Morris, the exact companion match to the Morris sculpture atop the Tryon Rotary Clock.

Some of the other auction items include a two-hour design consultation, as well as two Smith & Hawkins carved wood ducks named Pamela & Andrew, by Dan Ferebee of Bravo Inte-rior Design & Outdoor Living, and another design consultation offered by local Tryon designer Gillian Drummond.

Ruthie Cohen, a well-known Asheville jeweler, has donated a piece as well. The Tryon Fine Arts Council has offered one of their signature items - a signed, limited-edition print by Pamela Rattray Brown.

An engaging History of the Tryon Toymakers and Wood-carvers by local businessman, author and publisher Mike Mc-Cue is also available for bid. For those in need of a little R & R, Edward & Jeanette Chapman

have offered, subject to avail-ability, a Banner Elk Weekend Getaway at their VRBO 402 Old Turn Pike Road. Numerous other handcrafted items have been do-nated too, for example, a forged bottle opener made from a Saluda Grade railroad spike, crafted by local blacksmith Bill Crowell of Saluda Forge.

Even area youth are helping with fund-raising efforts. Sum-mer campers at both FENCE and the Serendipity Kids Ranch have produced 25 imaginative renderings of Morris, all of which are available for acquisition at the auction. Several of these images have been reproduced as laminated placements and will be given as door prizes during the course of the evening.

The public is invited to attend the All Morris, All The Time Exhibit and Auction Gala set for Saturday, July 28 from 6-9 p.m. in TFAC’s Gallery One. For a small donation, there will be light refreshments with finger foods, catered by Gayle and the Chefettes out of Asheville.

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis presents an award from the Polk County Fire Chief’s Association during a retirement party for Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Tennant.

the position since 1982. He has served as firefighter for 35 years and retired as an educator after 30 years of service. Tennant is currently the chair of the Polk County School Board.

Tennant joined the Colum-bus Fire Department in the mid-1970s. Then, the depart-ment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of fire trucks. Today, the depart-ment has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several associate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“I don’t think you can under-stand how much the people in this room mean to me,” Tennant told those in attendance.

Tennant was lured to Tryon Estates that evening by a fire alarm activation at the retire-ment community in Columbus. The fire alarm call was nothing new to Tennant, but soon after entering the room, Tennant re-alized the setup as he was met with a standing ovation.

“It was the only way we could get him here,” said Co-lumbus Deputy Fire Chief Bobby Arledge. “If we told him we were having a retirement party, he wouldn’t have shown

up. If it’s a fire call, we know he’s coming.”

Arledge will take over the chief position at the beginning of the year.

Tennant was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, along with several other presen-tations from many of the service agencies Tennant has worked closely with over the years. Those in attendance included all Polk County emergency service and law enforcement agencies, mutual aid fire depart-ments and Regional One.

“The opportunity to work with him in so many roles has been incredible,” said Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “He has been a colleague, my fire chief and most importantly, my friend.”

Davis served as the Polk County Fire Marshal and later as deputy chief at the Columbus Fire Department before taking the Tryon fire chief position.

Tennant expressed surprise when presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, which has also been awarded to Bob Timberlake, Charles Kuralt and fellow University of North Carolina Alumnus, Mi-chael Jordan. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven

Dancing is back at The Meet-ing Place.

Every Tuesday morning at 10:30 a.m., Donna Donnelly and Joann Freeburg will lead “Let’s Move… Let’s Dance.” The class is for all levels of skill (or lack of skill, as the case may be) and for all kinds of dancing. You don’t have to register – just show up on Tuesday morning.

Donnelly said she has been teaching and playing with others her whole life. She taught line dance at the Meeting Place in the past and said she is looking forward to rekindling that relationship.

“We can all enjoy moving to the music and having a great time,” Donnelly said. “We might even do the hokey pokey.”

Freeburg is a new addition to The Meeting Place family.

Freeburg is an enthusiastic teacher and inspirational speaker who said she loves to “cut a rug,” whatever the style.

She began ballroom dancing 13 years ago and with her husband, Keith, has taught classes and given programs at various local venues.

Donnelly and Freeburg said the “Let’s Move… Let’s Dance” class is a fun and sometimes “a little crazy” class that includes a wide variety of dances.

The Meeting Place Senior Cen-ter is located on Skyuka Road in Columbus (in the old Carolina Classical School building). For more information, contact Pam Doty at the Meeting Place at 828-894-0001.

Being an old (as in really old) fan of the Beach Boys the months of June, July and August have always brought home memories of surf, sand, old fashioned Coppertone suntan lotion and evenings on the pier at Myrtle Beach listening to various renditions of Barbara Ann, California Girls, Dance-Dance-Dance, Kokomo and Little Deuce Coupe (and, yes, those are all on my iPod). I used to drive my 14 year old son crazy playing all the oldies over and over again as we wended our way to the beach for summer vacations – and I delighted in both the music and his indig-nant discomfiture.

Every one of us hold as dear certain memories from our childhood and youth. Halcion images of days and

times when everything was “just right” create in our minds icons of a Golden Age that was, and yet never was. We tend to forget the bad, hurtful or stressful things that occurred in parallel to the good times, and that is just fine. No one wants to live over and over again the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JFK assassination, the Civil Rights Movement riots, the Vietnam War, or Watergate, but all these were also a part of those golden years of our youth.

Today we are living through days that will also be remem-bered as both golden and tarnished, by our children and by us as well. The global economy is changing, world and national civil politics are in upheaval, religious

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

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

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

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

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

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

A speCiAl thAnk You to All our sponsors!

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

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

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

institutions of every stripe are reexamining long held beliefs and values, and our culture of instant information drops it all in our laps every minute of every day. Out of this mishmash of good things and bad things will come a new era and a new reality, just as always, and these days will be remembered fondly by some and as a horror to others. It has been so for centuries and it will continue to be so forever. Change is like that, and we can either choose to roll with it or it will roll over us. We can and should do what we can to influence events, but in the end it will be what it will be and for our mental, emotional and spiritual health it is best to not get too attached to any one outcome.

Over the next couple months we are going to be inundated by conflicting information as the economy continues to shift, the presi-dential election heats up and our religious institutions meet in their various conclaves. As the Baptists, Presbyteri-ans and the Methodists have already done, the Episcopal Church will meet in its trien-nial General Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. in July to consider some major changes in the church. As in the cases of those denominational bodies which have already met and been reported out this year some of what we hear through the press and the media will be right, but most of it will be heavily biased and often just plain wrong, as are those things we hear in civil politics.

My caution to each of you

who read this is to take each draught of reporting with a big dose of salt and skepticism. There are wonderful things going on around us that are joyous and filled with life. Our foothills communities are alive, filled with good works, mutually supportive and generally well balanced. Rejoice in the good things we enjoy here in our little corner of God’s garden. Hold onto those wonderful times, places, people, sights, smells and sounds as the foundation for a new Golden Age icon. The rest will pass, and as Julian of Norwich once said, “And all will be well. And all will be well. And all manner of things will be well.”

Being an old (as in really old) fan of the Beach Boys the months of June, July and August have always brought home memories of surf, sand, old fashioned Coppertone suntan lotion and evenings on the pier at Myrtle Beach listening to various renditions of Barbara Ann, California Girls, Dance-Dance-Dance, Kokomo and Little Deuce Coupe (and, yes, those are all on my iPod). I used to drive my 14 year old son crazy playing all the oldies over and over again as we wended our way to the beach for summer vacations – and I delighted in both the music and his indig-nant discomfiture.

Every one of us hold as dear certain memories from our childhood and youth. Halcion images of days and

times when everything was “just right” create in our minds icons of a Golden Age that was, and yet never was. We tend to forget the bad, hurtful or stressful things that occurred in parallel to the good times, and that is just fine. No one wants to live over and over again the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JFK assassination, the Civil Rights Movement riots, the Vietnam War, or Watergate, but all these were also a part of those golden years of our youth.

Today we are living through days that will also be remem-bered as both golden and tarnished, by our children and by us as well. The global economy is changing, world and national civil politics are in upheaval, religious

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

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

institutions of every stripe are reexamining long held beliefs and values, and our culture of instant information drops it all in our laps every minute of every day. Out of this mishmash of good things and bad things will come a new era and a new reality, just as always, and these days will be remembered fondly by some and as a horror to others. It has been so for centuries and it will continue to be so forever. Change is like that, and we can either choose to roll with it or it will roll over us. We can and should do what we can to influence events, but in the end it will be what it will be and for our mental, emotional and spiritual health it is best to not get too attached to any one outcome.

Over the next couple months we are going to be inundated by conflicting information as the economy continues to shift, the presi-dential election heats up and our religious institutions meet in their various conclaves. As the Baptists, Presbyteri-ans and the Methodists have already done, the Episcopal Church will meet in its trien-nial General Convention in Indianapolis, Ind. in July to consider some major changes in the church. As in the cases of those denominational bodies which have already met and been reported out this year some of what we hear through the press and the media will be right, but most of it will be heavily biased and often just plain wrong, as are those things we hear in civil politics.

My caution to each of you

who read this is to take each draught of reporting with a big dose of salt and skepticism. There are wonderful things going on around us that are joyous and filled with life. Our foothills communities are alive, filled with good works, mutually supportive and generally well balanced. Rejoice in the good things we enjoy here in our little corner of God’s garden. Hold onto those wonderful times, places, people, sights, smells and sounds as the foundation for a new Golden Age icon. The rest will pass, and as Julian of Norwich once said, “And all will be well. And all will be well. And all manner of things will be well.”

the Holy Cross

Most of our civilian popula-tion probably has little apprecia-tion for the Medal of Honor be-cause they probably do not know much about it. There is not room here for me to tell you even half of what I would like you to know about it, so I’d better get started without further ado:

One of the first things a new recruit into the Army (the Air Force was still in Army uniforms when I enlisted in 1948) learns is how to salute officers. Next we were shown a large picture of the Med-al of Honor and the small piece of its neck ribbon that is worn at the top of one’s ribbons above the left pocket. Why? Because everyone renders the salute to the holder of that medal; even commissioned officers must salute an enlisted man wearing the ribbon!

The Medal of Honor is ap-proved by the Congress and

awarded by the president of the United States. That should tell you that it is not given lightly and is earned by heroic action far be-yond the call of duty. There have been few living recipients; about half of the medals are awarded posthumously, as was that of Polk County’s only recipient,

PFC Bryant H. Womack.

Wo m a c k ’s family moved to Rutherford County while he was serving in

Korea. His portrait has hung in a place of honor in the Rutherford County Courthouse for all the years since the Korean War. The Army named a bridge in Korea for him, and two large hospitals, one in Germany and one at Fort Bragg, N.C. Polk County did nothing to honor his memory until at my urging county com-missioner Alan Peoples proposed naming the new justice building for Womack. How many more

The Medal of Honor, going beyond the call of duty

years did it take for us to add his portrait to the building?

Howard Greene was Bryant Womack’s Army mentor and advised him not to become a medic, for he would find himself in the thick of combat with no weapon to defend himself. Wom-ack probably could have avoided service entirely as a conscientious objector, but chose to serve as a medical corpsman because he said he did “not want to kill any-body.” Howard was probably the last person from Polk County to see Bryant alive; he used to give young Womack rides home from Fort Jackson, near Columbia, S.C.

One day Howard and I were riding around the county planning a route for one of the historical association’s tours. He suggested that we stop in to see George Womack, Bryant’s brother, and we found him at home. While standing in his study, I noticed several photographs on his desk. Several were of Bryant, so I asked

Remember Whenby Garland Goodwin

if I could have them copied for the association. “Yes, if you make some for me,” George agreed.

Chris Bartol did the honors, and I framed a set for the Associa-tion, gave the county manager a set for the Womack Building, and

I asked myself, do I really want to write about something I know very little technical information about? My answer—why not. After all I’m not very good at a lot of things I write about. That being said, I enjoy a lot of things I’m not very good at, and one of those is photography.

Next to fishing, photography is proba-bly my favorite hobby. I realized very quickly a good photo takes more than a good cam-era. Unless you rely on the horseshoe method (what some call luck), a good picture takes a lot of time and effort as well.

The outdoors has endless themes to choose from. Moun-tains, waterfalls, a sunrise, a sun-set, flowers, insects and so on. the options are really unlimited. One that I really enjoy is weather, especially lightning.

You won’t get a good one if you don’t shoot, so fire awayLet me say first off being out-

doors trying to get a photo of lightning is dangerous. So when you hear thunder it’s probably not a good idea to give it a try. I have found out that a distant light-

ning storm is by far the best to photograph. Not only is it safer, it gives you a much bet-ter chance of actually getting one. When I say far off, the last one I got several shots of were of a storm well into South Carolina, and I was in good ole Sunny View.

I also have learned that per-spective is an important factor in a good shot. When I photograph a waterfall, I try different angles than what a lot of people see them from, and I like to pick out a shot within a shot, a small particular part of the fall that seems to have the most character. I have taken shots of a fall from different per-

Lighting over White Oak Mountain. (photo submitted by Rob McComas)

spectives, and have people ask me where those two waterfalls were located.

Equipment can be a big help. I use a Nikon D-40. Its an old school entry level digital SLR. It has low mega pixels but I read lots and lots of good reviews about it before I got one. I recommend you do the same before you buy a camera.

A good SLR camera gives you many tools to help in getting the right shot. The auto feature is great, but spending time to learn these features is time well spent. I have lots of room to improve on the technical part of photography, but what I have learned has made a huge difference.

Thankfully there are a lot of

good ones out there to choose from; you can spend as much as you want but there are some very good ones for entry level in the $400-$800 range. A tripod is a must. Either get a really good one that will last, or a real cheap one because you will most likely break one before long.

And lastly I found out that taking a lot of digital photos gives you affordable practice, and if you take enough shots, you are bound to get one good one. You might be surprised how many hundreds and even thousands of shots a photog-rapher takes at a single sporting event to get that one cover shot. And you won’t get a good one if you don’t shoot, so fire away.

returned some to George. Later, when I did not see the pictures in the building, I asked about them and they could not find them. There was some talk of naming the new high school for Bryant (we would then have the allitera-tive Womack Wolverines!) but as yet nothing has come of that. I mention all of this only to support my lament above that civilians have little appreciation for the

Medal of Honor.The late Joe Foss was flying

to a speaking engagement shortly after 911 and had his Medal of Honor in his pants pocket. The ignorant security people took it away from him because he could hurt somebody with it! I don’t know how that was resolved, but I hope you will learn what the med-al looks like and understand that it is earned (not won) by some pretty special people to whom we all owe a debt of gratitude.

Jane is a joyful 2-year-old pointer mix with a vibrant, play-ful personality and a serious heart condition. She was brought into Foothills Humane Society (FHS) as a stray in June. Friendly, smart and eager to learn, Jane progressed quickly through the FHS training programs, but FHS officials said it soon became ap-parent that something was not quite right with her heart.

Jane has a level 5-6 heart mur-mur and must be totally confined, as any exertion on her part could lead to heart failure and death. She has a PDA (patent ductus arteriosus), an extra vessel that is supposed to dissolve at birth but did not in her case. This allows some blood to flow back into her heart before it gets to the tissues, which results in permanent heart damage and heart failure.

The surgery to fix this is rela-tively simple but expensive, FHS said. It will involve going into the chest and basically cutting out the vessel. The recovery period is about two weeks. According to FHS, the long-term prognosis for dogs treated surgically is good. Most pets are clinically nor-mal following surgery.

The Univer-sity of Georgia Vet Hospital in Athens, Ga. has examined Jane and is ready to perform this lifesaving surgery. One of the students at the vet hos-

pital offered to foster her for the two weeks of recovery. FHS said

someone has al-ready completed an application for Jane. This person is in line after the foster in Athens.

F H S s a i d Jane needs to have this sur-

gery as soon as possible, so the required $3,500 for the surgery

needs to be raised quickly. To make a donation, visit helpsave-jane.chipin.com/please-help-jane-get-lifesaving-heart.
