When t ime can be your enemy, locating a caller’s ad-dress as soon as possible in an emergency is the first step in saving lives and property.

“There’s a big difference between knowing an address and being able to find an ad-dress, especially at night,” said Bryan Riebe, chief of the Glassy Mountain Fire Department. “To better help our fire and rescue services find your home in case of an emergency, Glassy Mountain Fire Department is offering the community 911 reflective emergency address signs for a nominal price.”

The signs are highly visible day or night, have reflective materials on both sides, are fade resistant, will last for years and have pre-drilled holes. If you need help install-ing your sign, GMFD will in-stall your sign at no additional

cost. If you do not have a mail-box next to your driveway, or if the post is not made of wood, GMFD will mount the sign to a post and install it for a small additional fee.

“It’s important the commu-nity realizes that if we can’t find you, then we can’t help you in a timely fashion. So we’re encouraging everyone to purchase these address signs to help save lives and property,” Riebe concluded. “We urge all community members to call 864-895-4306 if they have any questions or would like to see a sample.”

To order a reflective address sign, call or visit GMFD head-quarters at 2015 Highway 11, Landrum, S.C. or visit www.gmfd.net, download the order form, fill out and either mail to or drop it off at headquarters.

the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office got a call about an unre-sponsive 2-year-old male child at 27 Laurinda Lane in Landrum.

Lt. Michael Hildrebrand with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office said the mother put the two children in a bedroom about 9:30 p.m. When she went to check on them later she found a

chest of drawers laying on both children, Hildebrand said.

He said the 2-year-old was transported to Greenville Memo-rial Hospital where he was pro-nounced dead and the 4-year-old was taken to Greenville Memo-rial for her injuries.

Hildebrand said the 4-year-old was placed into DSS custody because of the living conditions in the home.

from two and four-year terms to all four-year terms.

The Polk County Republican Party approved the resolution during a convention held March 9.

Commissioners will discuss the resolution during its March 18 meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. in the Womack building in Columbus.

The resolution says 91 coun-ties (out of 100) in North Caro-lina have four-year staggered terms for their county board of commissioners.

“The Polk County Republi-can Party feels that the citizens of Polk County would be better served if the Polk County Board of Commissioners have four-year staggered terms,” states the resolution. “WHEREAS, it is also felt that each candidate for the office of Polk County Com-missioner has to compete in the

same manner as another, both in time and monies, therefore if a candidate wins a seat on the Polk County Board of Commissioners it would be only fair and just that he/she get to serve the citizens for a term of four years.”

Polk County has five commis-sioners with three commission-ers running for election every two years. Currently, the top two high vote getters in an election win four-year terms and the least vote getter gets a two-year term.

If the terms of office are changed to all four-year terms, the county would have three commissioners run for election, then two years later, two com-missioners would run with all commissioners receiving four-year terms.

The next county election will be held in 2014, when current commissioners Ray Gasperson (D), Keith Holbert (R) and Ted Owens (R) will be up for re-

Polk County Commissioner Vice-Chair Owens, who placed the item on the agenda for dis-cussion, said 91 counties already have four-year staggered terms for commissioners.

Owens said commissioners placed it on Monday’s agenda to get public input regarding the republican party’s resolution and there will be no commissioner vote on the subject.

The republican party, any other party, group or individual can send a request for a change to a state legislator who can spon-sor a bill. The last day to enter a bill for the current N.C. General Assembly session is Wednesday, March 20. The Republican Party has not yet sent the resolution to legislators to sponsor.

Owens said it’s so expensive to run for commissioner and to him, it’s just and fair to whoever is elected that they all have four-year terms.

“I’ve thought about it for years both ways,” Owens said. “I just think (four-year terms) better serves the citizens of the county.”

Nearby Henderson and Ruth-erford Counties are two of the 91 counties in the state that have four-year commissioner office terms.

Besides getting a senator or representative to sponsor a lo-cal bill for the state to make a change, the county could also

hold a referendum.According to N.C. General

Statute 153A-60, the board of commissioners shall initiate any altercation in the structure of the board by adopting a resolution. The resolution shall briefly, but completely describe the pro-posed altercations, prescribe the manner of transition from the existing structure to the altered structure, define the electoral districts, if any, and call a special referendum on the question of the altercations.

The referendum may be held at the same time as any other state, county or municipal pri-mary, (regular) election, special election or referendum, or on any date set by the board of county commissioners, states the statute.

If the county chose to make the change by referendum the board would have to implement the change if a majority of vot-ers approved the referendum and could not implement the change if the referendum failed.

“If a majority of the votes cast on the proposition are in the affirmative, the plan contained in the resolution shall be put into effect as provided in this part,” states N.C. General Statute 153A-61. “If a majority of the votes cast are in the negative, the resolution and the plan contained therein are void.”

The next scheduled election in Polk County is for the mayor and council seats in Columbus, Saluda and Tryon and will be held in November 2013.

Fundraiser will paint Tryon purple for Jenna Phipps March 17Benefit includes silent auction, food & fashion showby Leah Justice

Don’t be surprised if St. Pat-rick’s Day looks a little more purple than green this year in downtown Tryon.

A benefit for 25-year-old Jenna Phipps to help with medical bills in her fight with cancer will be held at Southside Grill in Tryon on Sunday, March 17 beginning at 11:30 a.m.

Phipps’ favorite color is purple and many individuals and busi-

nesses have hung purple ribbons in her honor from their Facebook pages to their door fronts and windows lately.

Numerous individuals and businesses in the area have joined in the benefit, which will feature a lunch, a silent auction, a fashion show by Head To Toe, glitter tattoos by Carey Metcalf, owl origami by Amber McIntyre and Melissa McIntyre, Jamie Kilgore selling 31 products, music by Randy Flack, Jenna T-shirts and arm bands and many businesses offering gift certificates and prod-ucts for a silent auction.

Organizer Kim Cochran said the benefit already has 200 people signed up to eat and she is amazed at the generosity of people to help Phipps.

The special menu is being pre-pared by Rick and Mimi McKee, with 20 percent of sales going to Phipps. The lunch will also include volunteer servers, from the Tryon Fire Department, Polk County Sheriff’s Office, N.C. Highway Patrol and individuals who will give 20 percent of their tips to Phipps.

All proceeds from the fashion show will go to Phipps as well as

numerous others.The silent auction includes

items ranging from $15 in value to $100 in value donated to the cause.

Anyone wishing to attend to eat is asked to call Southside Grill by Saturday to let them know how many people will be in your party. Call 828-859-0345 for lunch seating.

A group of 16 volunteers met Tuesday, March 12 and began discussions on how to display Tryon’s history by creating a visitor’s center and museum.

Happy McLeod organized the group and said she was recently horrified when talk-ing to some people at dinner one night and realizing they didn’t know of Carter Brown.

“How could you live in Try-on and not know who Carter Brown was,” McLeod asked.

McLeod said she wants to tell Tryon’s story and wants to do it with professional ex-hibits and displays. Tryon is already associated with pro-grams such as the N.C. Small Town Main Street Program and the Western Archives and History in Asheville who help towns with such ventures.

“We have organizations to help us so we can create something worthy of Tryon,” McLeod said. “We’re not here to clean out grandma’s attic.”

The plan is to create the visitor’s center and museum to be located at town hall and be a joint project between the town, the Tryon Downtown Deve lopment Assoc ia t ion

(TDDA) and the Tryon Tour-ism Development Authority (TTDA).

The group consis ted of several residents with unique reasons for wanting to pre-serve the town, ranging from new residents to residents who chose Tryon later in life to na-tives who had spent their lives in Tryon.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said he’s wanted a museum in Tryon since shortly after he moved here in 1979. He said he’s been collecting and most of his house is full of Tryon history.

Karen Killough’s grandpar-ents and father had a vineyard and wine making business in Tryon for many years.

Linda Friese is a fourth generat ion Tryon resident and brought drawings of the original plots of Lake Lanier.

Bill Crowell kept the Tryon Movie Theatre running 20 years ago and Nowell Guffey deals in antique artwork and said he’s also interested in the Tryon Toy Makers.

Kim Nelson said she’s in-terested in helping to preserve Tryon’s art history.

Ini t ia l commit tees sug-gested included equestrian, the

arts, historians, architecture, Toy Makers, vineyards and photography but other catego-ries were mentioned to ensure

all Tryon’s history is captured, including black history, the

Achieving carb control to lose body fatWell, spring is almost here,

and it’s that time of year when we trade in bulky winter cloth-ing for lighter, more form fit-ting attire.

Now, don’t panic if you’re just getting started; you can still make real progress in losing that body fat. This is going to be a two-part series.

First we’re going to learn how to achieve “carb control” to lose body fat, then in my next column we’ll explore the proper way to set up an exercise program.

Now, back to carbs. The word carbohydrate is syn-onymous with the word sugar. Sugar is actually a carbohydrate that is soluble in water. There are three different types of carbs. The first is what we call monosaccharides. This means “one sugar,” and is the sim-plest form of carbohydrate. An example of a monosaccharide

might be glucose or fructose from fruit or honey. The second type of sugar is a disaccharide. This means “two sugars.” A di-saccharide is composed of two monosaccharides joined togeth-er, such as sucrolose or lactose from table sugar or milk. The third type of sugar, which is not soluble in water is called a p o l y s a c -charide. That means “many sugars.”

These are actually “chains” of monosaccharides. Examples of polysaccharides could be starch, dextrin and cellulose from rice, bread, potatoes or pasta. Eating too many carbs makes us fat in two ways. First, if you take in too many carbs, which makes blood sugar rise, you increase insulin produc-tion, which then causes blood sugar levels to abruptly fall. This increases appetite, which

causes you to eat more, and thus gain more weight. The second way consuming too many carbs make us fat is that if blood sugar levels are high, you won’t dip into your fat stores. Remember, your body has two fuel takes. A fat fueltank and a sugar fuel tank. Here’s the

t h i n g … y o u d o n ’ t b u r n t h e m b o t h toge ther. In

other words, if your blood sugar levels start to lower, your liver converts fat into fatty acids,which the body then burns for energy. Now, before you go out there and start a low carbohydrate diet, let’s look at the whole picture. First, you can’t live without carbohydrates. They fuel both your muscles and your brain. In fact, studies have shown that individuals on extreme carb-restricted diets can have

difficulty performing tasks that require high-order cognitive function.

Let me share some of the ap-proaches I use with my weight loss clients. First, get at least 25 grams of fiber from your diet a day. Fiber is found only in high-carbohydrate foods, which explains why many people on low-carbohydrate diets experience constipation or other digestive maladies. Have no less than 130 grams of carbs a day. This is the minimum amount needed for proper brain function.

Instead of having your carbs all throughout the day, I recom-mend having them with two meals only, if you are trying to lose body fat. Try eating your carbs at or near the same time each day to avoid gastrointesti-nal problems. Also, keep a can

FENCE supporter donates grader blade for roads

The vehicles at Foothills Eques t r ian Nature Center (FENCE) can roll more easily now that the internal roads are going to be upgraded. Steep hills and rain have been an ongoing problem with the road system at FENCE causing ero-sion, potholes and bumps.

Because of the generosity of Julie Gordon, a long-time supporter of FENCE and board member, the rough roads will be just a bad memory. Gordon donated funds to buy a heavy-duty grader blade that will tilt and turn to allow the FENCE maintenance crew to maintain the roads and even some of the larger trails within FENCE property.

“A big thank you to Julie for helping us out,” said Joey Thompson.

Roy Flores, the other crew-man, added, “It (the blade) works good.”

The Foothills Equestrian Nature Center’s mission is to provide facilities and focus for education, recreation and preservation in nature studies and equestrian activities with the aim of enhancing these en-deavors to enrich the quality of life for the community.

For more information about FENCE programs and projects call 828-859-9021 or visit the web site www.fence.org.

1987 BMW 6 SERIES 635 CSIYou can drive this car anywhere and not see another one like it. Bought it new in Germany and imported to the US by a BMW engineer. We have all of the service records and receipts from day one. Just serviced, new tires and ice cold A/C. We have all of the Euro parts that were changed out in order to bring this car into the States. This could be a once in a lifetime chance for a BMW enthusiast to have the car of their dreams. Priced very fairly at $10,000.

A few months ago I told the tale of Muffin, the Boxer who was pushing her dead pup, try-ing to give it life.

I was so struck by it all that I had to leave the shelter. Muffin went on to produce four beautiful puppies who all now reside in loving homes. No one could know for sure but the signs are all there of what Muffin’s life was, we call them puppy machines. These animals have one job to do and rarely receive any socializa-tion. The shelter has the job of turning these dogs around and showing them there is more to life than what they’ve known. Nearly always they can be rehabilitated and found loving homes, not so with Muffin. Every ounce of training, time and socialization was afforded to Muffin and though she im-proved she refused to give up the trust. Out of nowhere and unprovoked Muffin would snap at you. She’s clipped at least four people, me included. Her time was running short and I begged FHS to let me try one more thing, which I was gra-ciously granted. I called Boxer Rebound up in Illinois and spoke with Jeanette, the propri-

etor. This dear lady gave me my Monty and is a mentor of mine. Jeanette is in her 80s and to this day puts me to shame with her energy and devotion. I explained Muffin’s story and offered to pay whatever it took if she could live out her

l i fe a t Boxer Rebound.

“Our com-p o u n d i s packed,” Jea-nette said “all

our vet techs and volunteers are holding Boxers too.” “It sounds familiar,” I replied. “If I’d do this for anyone, I’d do this for you,” Jeanette went on, “but that poor girl is suffering and you’re not doing her any favors by keeping her alive.” “Thanks anyway Jeanette, I thought I’d try.” Jeanette could sense the anguish in my voice and said one last thing, “Leon-ard, God bless your heart, but you cannot simply love them all into submission, and believe me I’ve tried.” With that we both tearfully rang off.

The next day I went to the shelter to visit some of the kids and to say goodbye to Muffin. I then went to Landrum vet to visit Buster and check on Opal, the hurting basset hound. I took

little Buster for a walk then let him loose in the waiting room for a while midst all the oohs and aahs. I brought him back to his cage area and went to check on Opal. Dr. Maiolo told me he had called the own-ers and recommended Opal be put to sleep. “Why?” I said, heartbroken at the thought. “She’s suffering Lennie; she has internal problems that are causing severe pain.” “Can’t we give her something for that Doc?” “It wouldn’t help Len-nie; you know I’d help her if I could.” “I’m sorry Tommy, I just wasn’t expecting this, I’m gonna go say goodbye to the poor thing.”

That evening I received the final blow of the day when Jeanette Larsen called me cry-ing and said, “We lost Misty today.” I’ve spoken of the Larsen’s often; they have res-cued more infirmed animals than anyone I know. It is by far my favorite place to visit as her great group of kids shower me with much more love and attention than I deserve. I’ve known Misty, their sweet Bijon Frieze for more than five years now. Misty was 14 years old and suffering from lung cancer. We all knew the end was near and she had everything she needed to keep her comfort-able. I guess along with Bert and Jeanette I was hoping for just a little more time. Whether I’ve known them for days, months or years, the loss of one of my kids always has the same effect. Once I’ve looked into their eyes, they’re blended in with all the others I’ve known and their countenance becomes etched upon my soul. Though it is inevitable, losing one of my kids is never easy and I don’t expect it ever will be. I suppose I received good advice a few days ago, I cannot love them all back to health but I’ll be darned if I’m not going to try.

Thanks for listening.

“...we are torn between a nostalgia for the familiar and an urge for the foreign and strange. As often as not, we are homesick most for the places we have never known.”

~ Carson McCullers Daffodils smile along quiet

Saluda lanes, with dancing yellow forsythia spikes promising spring. Winter is not usually done with us yet, but hopes rise as the days get longer and birds make nests, naughty blue jays adding in their two cents to the bird conversations around town. I’ve seen my resident blue-birds setting up housekeeping already, and a field of orange-breasted robins intent on catching the early worm.

In my last column, I threatened to get an electric chainsaw for cleaning up ice storm damage: huge pine limbs had snapped and destroyed the garden bench, azaleas, rhododendrons and hy-drangeas. It was time to get even. Truthfully, I had hoped to find someone willing to do a small job and tackle the mess, so I wouldn’t have to get a chainsaw. The ‘help’ never showed on the appointed day, so when the going gets tough, the tough get going. To Home Depot, to the chainsaw display — if you want something done, do it yourself.

Naturally, I had to stand in front of the chainsaws and try to make my mind up. This one; no, this one or this one. While stuff-ing a box in the big orange cart, I was advised by a young man who was also perusing the chainsaw aisle that I’d need bar oil, and to keep WD-40 on the blade if I was cutting pine. He nicely asked if I had ever used a chainsaw before: I could tell he was worried. Bless his heart. I reassured him I knew a little about woodcutting although it’d been a long time, and I would be careful — hopefully not cut-ting any parts off. Spares are hard to get!

Lincoln born in Bostic, N.C.? That’s what residents

from Laurel Hurst recent-ly went to find out. They watched a video, read some literature and looked at a lot of pictures. Unfortunately, they still don’t know the an-swer to that question. There is no conclusive evidence to support the claim, only state-ments from witnesses passed on down through the years.

“We are fans of Lincoln,” said resident Lois Ballentine. Residents have read a book, seen the movie and now been to the museum all in an ef-fort to learn more about one of the greatest United States President’s.

COVERAGE!

For its first show in 2013, the Flat Rock Playhouse YouTheatre brings the classic children’s book, The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry at Playhouse Downtown to stage.

Adapted by Rick Cummins and John Scoullarin as a musical that caters to school audiences and families, its simple messages like: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly and (w)hat is essential is invisible to the eye,” speak to all ages.

Saint-Exupéry wrote and il-lustrated The Little Prince (or Le Petit Prince) during his exile in the United States as a French reserve military pilot in World War II. The tale of loneliness, friendship and love, as experienced by a young prince who fell to Earth from an asteroid, appears to be influenced

from the author’s own experiences when his plane crashed in the Sa-hara desert.

After it was published in 1943, the novella become the most read and most translated book in the French language (250 languages and dialects, including Braille), and was voted the best book of the

20th century in France.

A l t h o u g h the script of this popular book f o l l o w s t h e storyline fairly

well, the play does not contain the complete text and is missing, of course, the whimsical watercolor illustrations by the author.

Dennis C. Maulden’s stage design, however, does a good job of making up for that with backlit computer images that display a likeness of some of the illustra-tions as the story unfolds. The costumes by Ashley Arnold and

direction by Dave Hart, however, are sometimes more reminiscent of a Dr. Seuss book than how Saint-Exupéry portrayed his characters.

The YouTheatre student cast also includes Flat Rock Playhouse alumni, Jessie Siak, who does an excellent job in the role of the Aviator opposite Louise Cummins’ admirable portrayal of the little prince (Anna Yokote plays this role on alternate weeks). Although the young Cummins shows great promise as she plays her lines with wonderfully varied expression, it appears she either needs to grow into a more even quality in her singing voice or musical director, Dan Gibson, needs to find a more appropriate key for her. Other cast highlights include very funny comedic relief from the Lamplight-ers, Ryan and Raja Jalernpan, and effective choreography by Lauren Rogers-Hopkins and excellent dancing by Emily Holbert as the Snake.

Want to go? Where: Flat Rock Playhouse Downtown, 125 S. Main St., Hendersonville, N.C.

Dear Savvy Senior,What can you tell me about

sleep apnea? My husband, who’s 60, has become such a terrible snorer he wakes himself up at night, and he keeps me up too.

~ Sleepy ShellyDear Shelly,If your husband is a loud snorer

who wakes himself up during sleep, he probably needs to be tested for sleep apnea, a danger-ous disorder that affects around 22 million Americans – and most don’t even know it.

Sleep apnea is a disorder that causes a person to stop breathing during sleep, dozens and even hun-dreds of times during the night for up to 30 seconds at a time. Left untreated, it can cause extreme daytime sleepi-ness, as well as a host of serious health conditions like high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, congestive heart failure, diabetes, depression and gastroesophageal reflux disease. In fact, it’s estimated that every year, around 38,000 Americans die in their sleep from a heart attack or stroke because of sleep apnea.

But the good news is that sleep apnea is very treatable and most insurance companies, including Medicare, cover it.

Who has it?There are three types of sleep

apnea: obstructive, central and mixed. Of the three, obstructive sleep apnea is by far the most common, and occurs when the throat muscles relax during sleep blocking the airway.

While anyone can have it, sleep apnea is most common in people who are overweight, male, middle-aged and older. For women, the risk rises after menopause.

The symptoms include loud snoring (however not everyone who snores has apnea), long pauses of breathing, gasping or choking during sleep and daytime drowsi-ness. But because most of these symptoms happen during sleep, most people don’t recognize them. It’s usually the person they’re

sleeping with who notices it.Get helpTo help you get a handle on your

husband’s problem, the American Sleep Apnea Association has sev-eral quick diagnostic tests he can take at sleepapnea.org – click on “diagnosis and treatment.” If you suspect a problem after taking these tests, he should try some self-help measures, including:

• Sleeping on his side or stom-ach: This will help keep his airways open. To promote side sleeping, there are products available that can help like the Rematee Bumper Belt (antisnoreshirt.com) and Sona Pillow (sonapillow.com).

• Losing weight: Excess body weight, espe-cially around the neck, puts pres-sure on the air-way, causing it

to partially collapse. Even a slight weight loss may help.

• Avoiding alcohol and sleeping pills: These can relax the muscles in the back of his throat, interfering with breathing.

If his problem persists, make an appointment with his primary care doctor or a sleep specialist who will probably recommend an overnight diagnostic sleep test, which can take place at a sleep center (see sleepeducation.com), or at home using a portable device.

Treatment optionsIf he is diagnosed with apnea,

the most commonly prescribed treatment is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device. This involves sleeping with a snorkel-like mask that’s hooked up to a machine that gently blows air up your nose to keep the pas-sages open.

Another less invasive treatment option is Provent therapy (provent-therapy.com). This is a small, disposable patch that fits over each nostril to improve airflow. A 30-day supply of these prescription-only patches cost $65 to $90, but unfortunately, it’s not currently covered by insurance or Medicare.

If the CPAP or nasal patches

aren’t an option, an oral appli-ance that fits into the mouth like a removable mouth guard or re-tainer may be the solution. Oral appliances work by positioning the lower jaw slightly forward to keep the airway open during sleep.

If these don’t work, there are also a variety of surgical options available to help keep the throat open and prevent blockages.

Breeding part of major problemTo the editor:

In response to “Creatures Great and Small” in the Bul-letin’s March 8 issue, I’d like to address the writer, Charlie Spei-ght, who proudly tells the story of breeding his dog, Tootsie, and is puzzled by his wife’s being treated “ugly” when they mentioned their plan to breed their dog, and their 25 percent vet penalty for not having their dog spayed.

Mr. Speight mentions the “wonderful service” of Foothills Humane Society, so he does seem somewhat aware of the pet over-population crisis.

We kill 3-4 million shelter animals in this country every year; 60 percent of dogs and 70 percent of cats who enter a shel-ter are killed because there aren’t enough homes to take them in and 25 percent of the dogs are as purebred as Tootsie’s puppies.

Every time I hear someone like Mr. Speight brag about his litter of puppies, I wonder if he’s ignorant or selfish, or both. When Mr. Speight proudly introduced Tootsie’s 11 puppies into the arms of their new owners, 11 shelter dogs died because those owners didn’t adopt. Irresponsi-ble pet owners are why adoptable pets are killed in shelters in this country every hour of every day.

Mr. Speight mentioned having his grandchildren witness the delivery of Toostie’s puppies. I challenge him to also take his grandchildren to a shelter and let them see all the animals housed

Letter to the Editor there waiting for homes. Perhaps there they’ll see litters of puppies who were born in the streets to emaciated or injured mothers, or the lucky ones who waited to be born on the cold cement floor of a shelter kennel to the sounds of constant barking and howling, the smell of kennels that can’t be cleaned often enough, and the presence of many germs their tiny bodies won’t be able to fight.

And I hope Mr. Speight’s grandchildren see all the volun-teers working in the shelters to take care of the animals – feeding them, walking them, cleaning their kennels, taking photos and videos to network them online, and finally, holding them and giv-ing them treats just before they’re killed so their last moments aren’t spent alone and afraid.

Thousands and thousands of people spend their free time and money trying desperately to get shelter animals out and into homes only to discover that most of them die before their rescue can be accomplished. The res-cuers grieve and cry (and curse breeders like Mr. Speight), and then they go right back to the shelter and try to save another one.

On behalf of those selfless people who rescue, network, foster, raise or donate money, transport, treat, care for, adopt or simply hold shelter animals as they die, I beg Mr. Speight and others like him to spay and neuter their pets. Set a better example for your grandchildren. If you’re unwilling to be a part of the solution, please stop causing the problem.

Tootsie will thank you too.~ Susan McNabb

St. Luke’s Hospital was recently awarded a Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) Award, an honor as one of 13 out of 26 Carolinas Healthcare System hospitals. St. Luke’s Hospital was recognized for having zero percentile central line-associated blood stream infections in 2012.

According to Sandy Brooks, RN, MHSA, chief nursing of-ficer of St. Luke’s Hospital, while health care-associated infections were once seen as an unavoidable risk of provid-ing care, a successful nation-wide program to reduce the deadliest of these infections has proven that change is pos-sible. The Hospital Engagement Network (HEN) is a national grant awarded by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which engages hospitals across the country to improve patient safety and quality. The goal of the HEN is to reduce unnecessary readmis-sions by 20 percent and patient harm by 40 percent, which also includes patient falls, surgical site infections, adverse medica-tion events, ventilator-associat-

ed pneumonia, pressure ulcers and venous thromboembolisms (blood clots) and catheter-asso-ciated urinary tract infections.

A central line is a long fine catheter with an opening (some-times multiple openings) at each end used to deliver fluids and drugs. The central line is inserted through the skin into a large vein that feeds into a larger vein sitting above the heart, so that the tip of the catheter sits close to the heart.

Brooks explained that cen-tral lines are used to give fluids, blood products, chemotherapy and other drugs (such as anti-biotics) directly into the blood-stream. Many of these drugs and fluids are not suitable to be given through smaller veins in the hand or forearm because

sporTs Polk baseball dominates Madison 15-0 in conference opener

by Fulton Hampton

After a couple of scrimmage and non-conference games Polk County faced their first conference opponent in Madison at home March 12.

It was a cold, windy Tuesday night but in the pre-game interview Coach Ty Stott expressed his con-fidence in an inexperienced team with great potential and promise.

“We are real young; we have one freshman and six sophomores. (But) It looks like we will have some very fine pitching,” Stott said. “As usual early in the season, we are not hitting, but I think it will come around and we will be a better hitting team than last year.”

In terms of the pitching rotation, Stott said he feels confident with a selection of talent.

“We will be a deeper pitching team this year,” he said. “I think Alec Philpott, Dylan Turner and Daniel Painter will be our top three. There won’t be a game that we will go into without a chance to win with those three.”

Coach Stott also likes his team’s speed on the bases.

“We’ve got good speed, regard-less of what lineup we go with; about six of them can run,” he said.

In reference to the young team he emphasized; “We just have to

keep working, keep swinging the bat… it’s just going to take time; we play three games this week so we will be that much closer to be-ing a veteran team.”

In terms of areas that need improvement, he came back to hitting.

“To be a consistently good hit-ting team we have to cut out the strike outs, especially with runners on base … we’ve got to put it in play,” he said.

This philosophy was proven during the Madison game. The Wolverines continuously “put the ball in play,” placing pressure on the Madison defense to make plays.

The Patriots had several fielding and throwing errors that helped the Wolverines extend their at bats and get out to a quick start. Polk jumped out to an 8-0 lead in the first inning, adding more runs in the third and fourth before the 10-run mercy rule was invoked in the fifth inning. Several players had multiple hits on the night and the pitching was almost perfect.

When asked about the hitting, Stott joked, “The colder it got, the better we hit. We had some boys step up tonight. This was a good start for us; Daniel Painter and Dylan combined for a no hitter.

Everybody got to get in the game. (It was) a good win, a good confer-ence win and we’re 1-0.”

Polk played last night versus ACA at home and plays Mountain Heritage away tonight. Look for results in Tuesday, March 19th’s sports section.

Ryan Johnson and Noah Israel pitched well. Joseph Quinn and A.J. Raber had two hits each. Ben Schlappi had a single.

Landrum lef t the bases loaded in the fifth and sixth innings.

On Tuesday, March 12 the Cardinals came back out on the dirt and didn’t waste any time cranking up the Big Red Machine. Cole Steele did a great job with his first start on the mound allowing only one run. Israel, Corey Ashmore and Austin Farmer pitched well in relief retiring the final seven batters they faced.

A. J. Raber led the team at the plate with three hits, fol-

lowed by Trey Jackson, Cole Steele, Alex Hawk and Cody Fortenberry, with two hits each; and Dalton Kuykendall, Adam Burns, Ryan Johnson and Miles McInernie, with one hit each. The big hit of the game was Fortenberry’s triple.

Trey Jackson and A. J . Raber led the team scoring runs as they plated three each. Fortenberry and Cole Steele scored two runs each and Ben

Schlappi, Justis Horne, Dalton Kuykendall, Tyler Gibbs, Alex Hawk, Ryan Johnson, Peyton Kemmerlin and Austin Farmer scored one run each.

The final score was LMS Cardinals 18 and Lake Lure Raptors 1. The team’s record is now two wins, one loss and one tie.

A non-conference match against Highland Tech during poor tennis weather showed Coach Richard Davis both positive and negative aspects of his team.

“We have a really young team,” Davis said as windy conditions whipped through the tennis court. “We basically only have one returning player from last year that was in the top six.”

It’s a difficult position for a team to find themselves in only a year out from expecting to win every match played.

“It’s going to be a learning year,” Davis continued. “It’s really a brand new experience for almost everybody, but the seniors we have, have really stepped up their leadership for the younger players.”

Those seniors, who are ex-pected to be competitive all year, are Cade Lanning, An-drew Lee and Ben Stockdale - the returning top six player. Coach Davis said he also has high hopes for junior Nick Morse, saying Morse is play-ing the best tennis he ever has and is just barely outside the top six.

“He’s really improved from last year. I see the younger players learning from him and drawing from his enthusiasm all the time,” Davis said.

Fans in attendance to the Highland Tech match saw out-standing potential during Polk’s doubles matches. Sweeping the Highland Tech doubles teams were teams made up of the four aforementioned players, and an additional team consisting of Tyler Oxtoby and Jan Engel-brecht. Although not enough to overcome the deficit from

singles play, seeing teammates working together helped ease the 6-3 loss for both the team and coach.

“As long as they play their best, and show improvement, we’ll have a great year,” Davis said before congratulating the Highland Tech players.

The tennis team’s next match is March 18 at Mt. Heri-

tage. Their next home match is March 26 against Thomas Jefferson.

they are very irritating to the lining of the veins. Central lines can also be used to take necessary blood samples, which reduce the number of repeated needle sticks.

In the hospital setting, this procedure is most often com-pleted by general surgeon Jim Holleman, MD, with St. Luke’s Surgical Associates.

“With the right tools and resources, infections which can be fatal can be prevented,” said Dr. Holleman. “This project gives us a framework in practi-cal ways that help us provide the safest care possible for our patients.”

The initiatives set forth by the HEN combine clinical best practices with an understand-ing of the science of safety, improved safety culture, and an

increased focus on teamwork. “This helps all of us, doctors,

nurses, and other members of the clinical team, understand how to identify safety problems and gives us the tools to tackle these problems that threaten the safety of our patients,” Dr. Holleman added.

“Dr. Holleman is to be commended for this excellent award,” said Brooks. “Also, our Infection Preventionist Lori Rothell has done an exceptional job implementing and monitor-ing best practices, ensuring our nursing staff provide excellent care to keep the lines clean and free from infection once they are in.”

Patient safety and infection prevention are top priorities at St. Luke’s Hospital where pa-tients receive exceptional care, close to home.

Preserving and Protecting Your Assets

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.

RULING FROM THE GRAVE

Q. If we leave our property in trust for our children, won't we be "ruling from the grave?"A. This question comes up

frequently. Parents know

their children's strengths and

weaknesses well. If a child is

mature and generally man-

ages his or her life well, there

is no reason for a trust to be

unduly restrictive. In that

case, a trust can actually be a

"gift within a gift" providing

access to funds for the child,

but protecting the funds from

ex-spouses and judgment

creditors. If the child is not

provide a safety net for them,

one that they cannot dissipate

for nonessential expenses. In

either case, you would just be

hopes and dreams you have

for them.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.

WHAT IS PROBATE?Q. What is probate anyway?A. In a nutshell, the probate

process is a court proceeding

that establishes the validity of

a will and provides oversight to

ensure accuracy in accounting

for a decedent's assets, fair-

ness in the treatment of heirs,

and protection for the rights of

the decedent's creditors. The

process begins with the presen-

tation of the will and can take

on average 6 to 12 months. Of

course this depends on the com-

plexity of the estate and whether

there are any challenges to the

will. It is not necessary to hire

a lawyer for every probate. If

the assets are simple and there

are no tax or other complexities

and the executor is available in

the state and has the time and

capacity to handle the matters

that arise, the executor can

complete the process without

attorney involvement.

I need to set one up?

A. A "family foundation" is what the tax law refers to as a "private foundation".The usual planning technique

is to have a CRT pay its funds

into a family foundation created

in the trust maker's will or trust.

The children of the trust maker

are usually on the foundation

purely subjective, but a general

standard of tax specialists is a

minimum of one million dollars.

People who do this type of

planning most often site their

reason for doing so a desire

to give their children control

of wealth rather than wealth

outright so they can live lives

March is American Red Cross Month, and to pay tribute to ARC month, the Polk County Chapter invites you to donate blood at one of two upcoming blood drives.

After 130 years of provid-ing humanitarian relief all over the world, the ARC continues the compassion and generosity which is core to our American identity and spirit. Today’s eco-nomic conditions make it difficult to include charitable giving in our individual budgets, but a

donation of blood offers every individual the chance to give the most precious gift there is – a gift that costs the donor no money, just an hour of time.

Current blood donation op-portunities in Polk County are:

Fifth-annual Harmon Field Heritage Days March 21-24Heritage Days return to Har-

mon Field March 21-24. This year is the fifth annual

celebration of the Harmon Field Heritage Days, with local students

scheduled to visit the reenactment site on Thursday and Friday for Educational Days. Saturday and Sunday the camp is open to the public.

One of the highlights of the weekend will be a visit by Abra-ham Lincoln to the camp. Chester Damron, nominated as the best Abraham Lincoln impersonator in

2006, will be on hand to celebrate the fifth annual event.

join us again this year during Educational Days on Thursday and Friday, March 21 and 22, to give the students a hands-on experience of crafts during the Civil War era.

Leading out the weekend is the 2nd North Carolina Mounted Infantry. Several other Civil War units will join them to portray life as it was during the Civil War. There will be a lot of artillery fire, including two cannons, as the soldiers drill and have skirmishes throughout the weekend.

Harmon Field lies very close by, if not on, the route used by Union forces during “Stoneman’s Last Raid,” when more than 5,000 mounted troops, artillery, infantry and wagons moved across Polk County from Rutherfordton, and then north through Howard Gap. Groups of armed troops were sent out from the main body throughout the countryside, while the army pushed toward Asheville, and eventually Tennessee. The war was almost over, but whenever the two sides met, fights occurred.

Come visit Historic Harmon Field and experience typical army encampments, North and South. Watch soldiers drill, cook and camp much as they did in the 1860s. There will be a battle at 2 p.m. on both Saturday and Sun-day, between the Southern forces occupying home ground and an invading Federal column intent on moving up the Gap. Stoneman’s Raid helped hasten the end of the war, as General Robert E. Lee’s avenue of escape southward was disrupted, giving him little choice but to stand and fight on ground he would rather not have.

Visitors are encouraged to mingle with the soldiers at camp, ask questions, sharing their sto-ries and campfires. If you are adventuresome, ask to fall in with them as they drill, and learn alongside the troopers as they are put through their paces. See what typically occurred during one of the hundreds of skirmishes that happened in this area. For more information, contact Lorna Deaver at 828-817-1544.

Tryon Painters and Sculptors remembers Bill RyanRecently I stepped into the

shoes of master artist, Bill Ryan, to teach his Thursday morning paint-ing class that he was no longer able to do since his illness had taken his strength, but not his desire to be with students.

I did not realize at the time that I was taking over for a teacher who had been affiliated with Tryon Painters and Sculptors and the art studio for 32 years. Imagine how many gentle directions and sug-gestions he must have given to his eager students during that time.

Bill died on Wednesday, Feb. 20 in Elizabeth House at Hender-sonville, NC.

Born in Woodbury, N.J., Bill became a well known artist and art teacher, he began his study of art with his mother, an accomplished artist. Bill graduated from the College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, V.A. and continued his studies at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Penn. While working in New York City, he continued his studies at several classes and workshops at the Art

Students League, as well as with several local artists. Bill moved to Charleston, S.C. in 1970 and taught art in the public school system. While there he, along with four other teachers, created a guide to teaching art in the elementary school, which is still being used as the basis for elementary art education in South Carolina. Bill came to Saluda in 1981 where he concentrated on watercolor and oil landscapes of the area. Along with teaching at TPS, Bill also taught classes at Isothermal Community College and Blue Ridge Com-munity College. He has received awards and commendations in several East Coast shows and his art hangs in collections through-out the United States. Bill was a partner in Ryan Boyle Antiques, Saluda, since 1980.

At the opening of the Member Show in the gallery of TPS I spoke with a couple of members who told me things about Bill that I would like to pass along. Gloria Ow-ensby took classes with Bill at ICC several years ago and remembered

how he would invite the whole class to come up to his studio in Saluda at the end of the session and give them a tour of their lovely home and studio.

“ He and his partner Jim were so generous to share their time with us. They even served refresh-ments,” said Owensby. Pat Ferullo also reminisced that she recalled Bill’s kindness and gentleness as a person as well as being a fine artist.

Tryon Painters and Sculptors Board has officially dedicated the present Members’ Show to the memory of Bill Ryan. As part of the show itself, two of Bill’s paintings are displayed in the exhibit with a bio about him. We will miss one of our best and most revered TPS members and teachers. Fortunately we have his beautiful paintings by which to remember him.

The Members’ Show will run until April 6 and will be open on Thursdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“We are most grateful to the Polk County Community Foundation for awarding Outreach with grant funds to build the new addition to our facility. Expanding the current pantry space will allow us to better serve the growing population in Polk County that turns to Outreach when their cupboard is bare,” said Carol Newton, executive director of Outreach. Pantry Coordinator Jim McClintock adds, “The extra space will give us the ability to save much needed funds by purchasing reduced price food items in bulk. The addition will also help us to accommodate our growing Feed-A-Kid program.” The construction is expected to last approximately three months, and will not affect Outreach’s ability to provide service to its clients.
