Mill Spring Fire Department asks for one-cent fire tax increase
Mill Spring Fire Chief Trenton Car-swell has asked the Polk County Board of Commissioners for a penny increase in the fire tax paid by residents of the Mill Spring Fire District.
The department’s fire tax commis-sioners unanimously approved the one-cent increase and recommended
the county commissioners do likewise, Carswell said. County commissioners must approve the increase, which would raise the district’s fire tax rate from 5 cents to 6 cents for each $100 of prop-erty valuation. The Polk County Board

Collin’s mission trip will be from July 3 to July 26 and will focus on telling several villages the story of God and Jesus, some-thing Collins said the largely Hindu and Buddhist people in that area have never heard.
“My involvement with the trip came after I felt the Lord leading me to the mission field last year,” Collins said. “I had a strong urge that Nepal was the place I was supposed to go. Oddly enough, when I first felt God speaking to me about the area, I really knew nothing about it.”
Collins said Nepal came into her life while searching for a wreath she found online that was sold out. She decided she could make the wreath herself, which was made out of felt balls, and in doing research she discovered it

was made in Nepal. She became interested in the country and said she felt like that was where the Lord was leading her. After talk-ing to her pastor, she discovered there were missionaries locally who had lived in Nepal, so last July she contacted Jeff Sundell, the leader of this mission trip.
There were trips planned but nothing worked out for Collins at the time, so she began attending local training for evangelism that models what is being taught in Asia by missionaries. It was at that training she learned of the July trip and found out it was one that Sundell is leading.
“I think it is pretty awesome that one year after meeting with (Sundell), God’s plan will come to fruition for me to be in Nepal spreading the love of Jesus,” Collins said.
Collins did make a wreath like those made in Nepal; it now hangs on her wall.
The mission trip will take participants through a wide range of environments, Collins said, from monsoon season to desert at higher elevations and eventually to snow at the highest elevations.
The group plans to walk 6 to 8 hours a day, during which they will have the opportunity to witness to several villages. They will stop at certain villages and sleep in what they call “tea houses.” Part of the trek will take participants to the village of Lo Man Thang, where the king of Nepal lives.
The villages are remote and were previously closed to outsid-ers, Collins said.
Locally, Collins is involved at Pea Ridge Baptist Church and is involved in “prayer walking” in Spindale, which involves asking residents if there’s anything go-ing on in their life she and others can pray for and teaching people to set up “house churches” for people who, for whatever rea-

son, don’t go to church.“All of those things have led
me to where I am,” Collins said. “I feel like I’m already active in missions in my local com-munity. This is an opportunity to branch out to other parts of the world.”
C o l l i n s went on anoth-er mission trip, which took her to Haiti, when she was 19. At the time she was a dental assistant and pulled teeth in Haiti. She said that trip will seem lush com-pared to the upcoming Nepal mission.
Collins said she hopes to do one international trip a year and in the future even more mission work. The group Col-lins will be going with includes Sundell, Kenny Grier, Molly Grier, Tommy Hensley, Brad Miller and Mike Duncan, all of Rutherford County.
“I am going on this trip to do my part in fulfilling the Word of
God,” Miller said. “To take His Word unto all nations. I consider it a complete joy and honor to have such a part in His mighty work. These remote villages have been perishing since the beginning. How could someone of Christ not go?”
The Nepal trip is expensive and Co l l in s and the others are asking for the commu-nity’s help. A bank account has been es-tab l i shed a t Mountain 1st Bank & Trust in Columbus for people who
would like to donate to the mission trip. Donations can be made payable to Mountain 1st FBO Nepal Mission Trip and can be mailed to P.O. Box 445, Columbus, N.C. 28722.
Several fundraisers are also planned. A yard sale will be held on Main Street Forest City across from Habitat Resale Store on May 12 from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m., and a singing and fish fry will be held on May 26 from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Spindale First Baptist Church.
of Commissioners is scheduled to consider fire budgets for all the county departments at its May 16 meeting.
A one-cent increase on taxes would mean a $10 increase on a $100,000 home or a $20 increase on a $200,000 home. Based on county estimates for revenue in the 2013 fiscal year, the change would increase the department’s net income from the county from an estimated $151,126 to an estimated net of $181,352, Carswell said.
The department’s budget is the lowest of the six fire depart-ments in Polk County. Fire taxes are collected when homeowners pay their property tax bills and when county taxes are paid on motor vehicles.
The chief said the increase – the first tax rate increase for the department in four years – is needed to help offset increased fuel cost and increases in other supplies used by the department. A series of grants from the Fed-eral Assistance to Firefighters program has helped the depart-ment replace obsolete equipment and purchase some new gear, such as protective clothing for the firefighters. Carswell said the department is currently raising money to purchase a new truck to help meet water supply demands in a district without fixed fire hydrants.
An open house – the depart-ment’s annual “May-Day” sale and car show – is scheduled for May 19 in conjunction with the Mill Spring Agricultural Center.

Tango classes at Tryon Fine Arts Center start Monday, May 7
If you’ve ever wanted to learn to tango, you might want to sign up for tango lessons being offered by Larry Gant at the Tryon Fine Arts Center beginning Monday, May 7.
Gant will teach five sessions: May 7, May 21, June 4, June 18 and July 2. Class t imes will be from 7:30-9:30 p.m. and wil l in-clude an hour of class followed by an hour of supervised “practica.”
Gant said his passion for Ar-gentine Tango began in 1999 when he was introduced to the Colorado Tango Camp, a dance camp run by Americans who had just returned from years of study in Buenos Aires, Argen-tina. A concentrated seven-day workshop whetted his desire to improve his skills and learn more about this captivating dance form.
His interest in tango became a passion that would take Gant to Atlanta, New York, Miami, many other cities and finally to study in Buenos Aires itself, the birth-place of tango. Gant’s teachers have included a veritable who’s
who of tango elite, includ-ing Copes, the Zotto broth-ers, Naveira, Veron, Ladas,
Trenner and Shulman. At the urging of fellow
Tangueros, Gant began teach-ing Argentine Tango classes and workshops, emphasizing the fun and partnership of dancing, and staying true to the spirit and beauty of the tango.

“It is time that teachers learn how to successfully handle student misbehavior and finally reach their full potential.”
-- Doug Campbell,
The cover of a new book by PCHS teacher Doug Campbell. (photo submitted by Jennifer Wilson)
D o u g C a m p b e l l , a teacher at Polk County High School (PCHS), said he feels the time has come for teachers to learn a new style of classroom manage-ment, no longer relying on old strategies of anger and intimi-dation. To address this need, Campbell wrote “Discipline Without Anger,” which has been published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group.
“‘Discipline Without An-
g e r ’ s h o w s teachers how to successfully manage their classes so that they can be free to teach without hav-ing to become bullies to keep
order,” Campbell said.According to Campbell,
many potentially great teachers today are teaching poorly (or not teaching at all) because of weaknesses or fears in the area of classroom management, and schools and students are paying a price.
“It is time that teachers learn how to successfully handle student misbehavior and fi-nally reach their full potential,” Campbell said.
Tanya Ledford, another PCHS teacher, said, “‘Dis-cipline Without Anger’ is an excellent resource for every teacher, whether you are just starting out or have been teaching for 20 years. Every school system should buy this book for all of their new teachers!”

NickerDoodles horse treat company changes handsLisa Otto, creator of popular
NickerDoodles all-natural, fresh-baked horse treats, announces her company has been purchased by Virginia Milam, proprietor of Khaki Run Horse Farm in Sum-merfield, N.C. Production and distribution of this equine treat will continue uninterrupted as the business reins are handed off to Milam.
Otto said, “When Virginia Milam approached me about purchasing the NickerDoodles company, I was pleased to think it might be acquired by a busi-ness woman who is also an avid rider, already well known to equine enthusiasts, allowing my specially prepared horse treats to be continuously enjoyed by the horses and ponies that have come to adore them.”
NickerDoodles were cre-ated by Otto when she sought a healthy, easily digestible treat for her own horses. They contain oats, wheat bran, barley, corn and molasses, and are handmade and freshly baked in the Carolinas. The gourmet horse treats are currently available at more than 100 tack shops and feed stores in 23 states. They can also be found at the mobile tack shops found at horse shows everywhere.
Milam said, “Consistent high quality and eager universal ac-ceptance of NickerDoodles by horses and ponies make this treat a fine product I can be proud to deliver. My own horses have been dedicated fans ever since I had the good fortune to discover NickerDoodles for them. But I didn’t stop at just eliciting their opinions – I questioned many horse owners, as well as the discerning retailers who stock and distribute these gourmet treats, and received nothing but positive feedback. Owners were quick to share anecdotes
about their horses’ reactions when they simply thought they might receive a NickerDoodles treat, and our loyal distributors touted them enthusiastically in response to frequent customer inquiries.”
Milam and her husband, Paul, own and operate Khaki Run Horse Farm, where they breed, train and sell horses.
“Acquiring distribution rights for NickerDoodles fits perfectly with my desire to engage in a new endeavor directly linked to my love of horses, and it also allows
me to work right from my horse farm,” Milam said. “With my daughter’s active involvement in the show circuit, we are able to maintain a strong connection to the business of horsemanship as well as the sporting pleasure, as we frequent horse shows along-side our product purchasers and consumers!”

St. Luke’s Hospital recognizes May as Mental Health Month
For more than 50 years, America has celebrated May as Mental Health Month to raise awareness about mental illnesses and the importance of mental wellness for all. St. Luke’s Hos-pital invites everyone to join in this observance, which began in 1949.
This year, St. Luke’s Hos-pital is addressing these issues through two themes:
“Do More for 1 in 4” is a call to action to help the one in four American adults who live with
a diagnosable, treatable mental health condition and to call at-tention to the fact that they can go on to live full and productive lives.
The second theme, “Healing Trauma’s Invisible Wounds,” focuses on the impact of trau-matic events on individuals and communities. It centers around asking the person-based ques-tion: “What happened to you?”
“Good mental health is fun-damental to overall health and is essential to personal well-being and the ability to lead a healthy, balanced, and productive life,” said Becky Brodar, RN, com-munity outreach coordinator for the St. Luke’s Hospital Center of Behavioral Medicine. “Mental health problems can impair a person’s thinking, feelings and behavior, and they can be serious and disabling.”
To help bring awareness to Alzheimer’s, caring profession-
als through St. Luke’s Hospital’s Center of Behavioral Medicine will provide free, confidential screenings to detect mental ill-ness on Thursday, May 17, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., at 56 Hospital Drive, Suite 3B, Columbus, lo-cated in the St. Luke’s Hospital Medical Park. An appointment i s necessary; please call 894-2408.
A m e n t a l illness is a dis-ease that causes mild to severe disturbances in thought and behavior that results in an inability to cope with life’s ordinary demands and routines. There are more than 200 classi-fied forms of mental illness, all of which can be triggered by a
variety of causes: a particular situation or series of events, an illness, genetics, biochemical imbalances or any combina-tion of those factors. Above all,
it’s important to remember that there is help and hope for your loved one, St. Luke’s officials said.
“According to the U.S. Sur-geon General’s report on men-tal health, more than half of all Americans with a severe men-tal illness fail
to seek treatment,” said Dr. Robert Ratcliffe, psychiatrist for St. Luke’s Hospital Center of Behavioral Medicine. “Many

people do not receive treatment for mental health problems due to a lack of awareness of the problem, fear of stigma or lack of access to appropriate services. Yet, overall quality of life is greatly improved when a person with a mental health problem gets an early diagnosis and re-ceives appropriate treatment.”
The St. Luke’s Hospital Cen-ter of Behavioral Medicine is a 10-bed, inpatient facility serving adults age 55 and over. The unit specializes in the diag-noses and treatment of diseases such as depression, anxiety and panic disorders, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s, psychosis, bipolar and mood disorders and schizo-phrenia. Referrals are accepted from physicians, social services, family, friends, community pro-
viders, assisted living and skilled nursing facilities or self referral. Staff is available for free in-home assessments to determine the appropriate level of care.
“Our program offers a holis-tic approach to health, giving attention to medical, psycho-logical and social factors. Each patient’s treatment begins with an expert multi-disciplinary as-sessment performed by a team which then creates a master plan of treatment tailored to
the individual patient’s needs,” Brodar said. “Treatments vary based on the severity of prob-lems, but include psychotherapy, medications, home health care and hospitalization providing a structured therapeutic approach in an appropriate environment.”

Polk observes National Day of Prayer
Almost 100 people attended the 61st annual observance of the National Day of Prayer, held in Polk County at the courthouse lawn in Columbus on Thursday, May 3. Rev. Hubert Street welcomed attendees, James Metcalf led the crowd in the first prayer and everyone sang “America the Beautiful.” Prayer leaders included Rev. Philip Bailey, Sheila Whitmire, Rev. Dean Elliott, Rev. Steven Abe, Rev. Timothy Brown, Harrison Fisher, Rev. Albert Teague and Rev. John Roberts. The event was sponsored by the Polk Baptist Association, and this year’s theme was “One Nation Under God,” based on Psalm 33:12: “Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord.” (photo by Leah Justice)

Accepting student applicationsuntil June 1
Thanks to a grant from the Polk County Community Foun-dation (PCCF), Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) will offer a pub-lic relations/marketing position this summer for a student inter-ested in learning new skills in promoting events and programs and helping with guest services.
This is an opportunity for a rising sophomore, junior or senior to work closely with Marianne Carruth, director of marketing and arts in education, and Beth Child, executive direc-tor, with preparing brochures, tickets, programs and press releases for the upcoming 2012-2013 performing arts season, as well as performing general administrative work.

Event set for Tuesday, May 22
Ceramic artist Gary Huntoon will be the featured artist for the May Art, Wine and Cheese event of the Tryon Painters and Sculp-tors (TPS) on Tuesday, May 22 at 4 p.m.
Huntoon is known for his bold shapes, often functional pieces and assemblages of ce-ramic shapes, often in a totem configuration.
He uses an unusual glazing ef-fect that gives his pieces a stark, almost oriental look and several pieces were recently featured in several local shows.
Huntoon said, “My dad had an autobody shop so I was always building something – soapbox derby cars, tree houses, model boats and planes. From my dad I learned how important good craftsmanship was. I not only had to work properly but the final

project had to look good. I went to school to be a doctor, took a ceramics class and was hooked; I knew I had to do this for the rest of my life. I had a chance to go and study at Pond Farm with Marguerite Wildenhain (the first female pottery student at the Bauhaus in Germany. That was where I learned to throw on the potter’s wheel.”
Huntoon and his wife, Mary Lou, have just relocated to the Traveler’s Rest, S.C. area from their home in Texas, where he taught high school ceramics.
They said they enjoyed the Tryon area when visiting here and became involved with Tryon Arts and Crafts, where Huntoon was able to continue his work in the pottery studio until his house was completed.
Art, Wine and Cheese art-ists’ demonstrations are open to the public and refreshments are complementary. The demonstra-
Huntoon featured at Tryon Painters and Sculptors Art Wine and Cheese
tion is usually an hour with wine and cheese served until 6 p.m.

True threatsto marriage
Several letters have urged voters to vote for Amendment 1 to uphold traditional marriage. There are some serious threats to traditional marriage, I’ll admit. But I’ve got a better idea. I’ve observed so many marriages fail and it seems the most serious threat to traditional marriage is adultery. Although adultery is a sin in God’s eyes, it’s not illegal - yet. I say we make it illegal. We need an anti-adultery amendment with an appropriately Levitical punishment.
Another amendment that would go a long way to strength-ening traditional marriage is to make the marriage vow just as God intended: unbreakable. We can do this by eliminating legal
divorce. This might meet a lot of resistance as most people believe in one man/one woman as an es-sentially “serial” concept where it can be “one man and one woman” today but a different “one man and one woman” as soon as the divorce is final and they’re free to remarry and make their sacred vows with another person. Serial marriage is very prevalent in our country. Some people have been married multiple times leaving behind them their cast-aside for-mer spouses and broken homes. I know many in our country like marriage so much that they want to do it over and over. But that’s not what God had in mind.
Amendment 1 will do nothing to strengthen traditional marriage. The only thing that will is for people to honor their vows and accept their responsibilities as husbands, wives and parents.

Marketing for nonprofits, social media marketing plansocial media is free, I don’t neces-sarily agree with that statement. A great social media strategy requires you to stay relevant and be present in the hyper land-scape. In order to accomplish this you must have the man-hours to ac-commodate such demands . De-pending upon the size of the organization this can mean an increase in staff size or volunteer hours to stay relevant in social media. Either avenue will cost the organization some time. The demands of staying relevant come from the public and the many studies that have been done so far on social media.
To start this article, which will lead into several additional articles about social media, I would like to share with you a study that was conducted in 2011 and published in Fundraising Suc-cess Magazine. As a side note and
As the nonprofit Leadership column continues discussing marketing for nonprofits, the next several articles will focus on the social media marketing strategy/plan.
What is social media? As the definition of social media contin-ues to evolve along with all the new and exciting platforms of social media, my favorite defini-tion is as follows; ¨Social media is … a way of using the internet to instantly collaborate, share information or have a conversa-tion about ideas or causes we care about.” This definition is a combination of two definitions found on ask.com and Wikipedia.
I think, and hope, we all can agree that social media has changed the way we do a lot of things. For nonprofits it has been a truly remarkable way to fundraise, spread awareness and recruit volunteers. The best thing about social media is the price. While everyone will say that
Nonprofit Leadership
Melissa Le Roy
for those of you who have taken some of my courses, Fundraising Success Magazine, in my opinion, is one of the best free fundraising sources available today. Convio
conducted the study, which included some of the key find-ings from fiscal year 2009 and 2010, which
are detailed below.• Online fundraising is the
fastest-growing channel for non-profits today.
• Online giving is growing the fastest for small nonprofit organizations.
• The median growth rate in online donations was 20 percent.
• Median donation size in-creased from $83.44 in 2009 to $91.94 in 2010.
• Advocacy continues to be the top influencer in online donations.
In addition to the key findings, the study listed best practices for nonprofits using social media. The most important best practice for nonprofits is to collect email addresses when possible. I would like to add to this one – collect cell phone numbers also.
When collecting email ad-dresses and cell phone numbers always try to collect what the donor interests are. In collecting the email address, cell phone number and interest you want to make sure that you have a reli-able constituent database to store this information. Another best practice is to have a great call to action. If you need them to do something, tell them. Last but not least and as repeated above, be engaged in social media.
Now that we have discussed the baseline for social media within nonprofit organizations the next several articles will focus on different tools and strategies for your social media marketing plan.
The Foothills Music Club on Thursday, April 12 heard selec-tions performed by four of the recent winners in the music club scholarship competition in March.
The club’s April meeting was held on Thursday, April 12 at the home of Mimi Child Traxler.
After a short business meet-ing, the scholarship winners per-formed. Beginning the program was Katherine Barker playing “Etude in G minor,” by Luft,
on the alto saxophone. Rachel Richards, cellist, played “Sonata in G minor,” by Henry Eccles. She was accompanied by pianist Sherry Young.
Baritone Tyler Graeper pre-sented two vocal selections. The first one, sung in Italian, was “Caro mio ben,” by Tommaso Giordani. Next was a power-ful rendition of “I’ve Heard It All Before,” from the musical “Shenandoah.” Graeper was also
accompanied by Sherry Young on piano.
Concluding the program was first-place winner Paulina Ray-Zorick, who played two pieces on the piano: “Two-Part Invention No. 4,” by Johann Sebastian Bach and “Sonata in D minor, Op. 31. No. 2, Allegretto,” by Beethoven.

A spring bazaar and motor-cycle ride hosted by Star Touring & Riding Association will be held Saturday, May 12 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
The event will raise funds to help pay for Mill Spring Cub Scouts to attend summer day camp at Cub Scout Camp in Rutherfordton, June 18-22.
Star Tour ing & Riding (STAR), chapter No. 468 is the local chapter of STAR, an international family riding orga-nization. As the “official riding organization of Star Motor-cycles,” STAR is a non-political, non-confrontational association. Its main focus is on family, fun, camaraderie and riding. All brands of motorcycles are welcome. Comprising more than 65,000 members and more than
285 chapters, STAR recognizes safety as a first priority.
STAR Chapter No. 468 has offered to host this event for the benefit of Mill Spring Cub Scouts to ensure each boy has the opportunity to attend sum-mer day camp. To support the children in an area that has been hard-hit by economic forces, STAR organizers said they are happy to host an event that brings family oriented motor-cyclists and Cub Scout families together for the enhancement of our future leaders, the Cub Scouts.
Visitors at the spring bazaar and motorcycle ride will be able to shop from local vendors, hear live music by the Olde Tyme Pickers, enjoy hotdogs and hamburgers with sides, visit
with friends and neighbors and see displays and demonstrations by local organizations (includ-ing Cub Scouts). There will be games and fun for children of all ages throughout the day.
Tables and booths are avail-able for rent. Contact Keith Mistler at 828-817-5050 or [email protected], or Elizabeth DeChant, 828-429-9896 or [email protected].
Motorcycle ride information: Registration for the motorcycle ride will be from 9 – 10:30 a.m. For more information, contact Raymond Thompson at 828-899-3650 or Gail Thompson at 828-899-2856 or [email protected].
