M.A. Pace General Store to reopen in Saluda Saturday

A wreath in memory of Robert Pace lovingly graced the door of M. A. Pace General Store in Saluda until just recently.

Robert Pace passed away last October and with his death came the closure of his family business that first opened in 1899 – a staple of the Saluda community.

“People said they didn’t know where to go in the mornings after he passed away,” said Saluda resident Tangie Ciarvolo. “Rob-ert was such a gentle soul of a man. I think you can ask any man on the street and they would tell you the same thing.”

Ciarvolo and her family, which includes her father, Saluda commissioner Leon Morgan, as-pire to revive this piece of Saluda history by reopening the store this Saturday – the day before its 112th anniversary.

Proposed Saluda budget suggests moving city hall, raising taxesby Samantha Hurst

The Saluda Board of Commission-ers must make a few hefty decisions in considering the city’s 2011-2012 budget.

Finance director Ron Cole proposed two separate budget options Monday,

June 13, one of which included relocat-ing city services from the current city hall building to a property known as the Ryan Boyle building. The Boyle property currently houses the business

or Robert,” Morgan said. “We’re just going to try and provide a good service to the people of Saluda.”

No one can replace Eunice or Robert, according to Ciarvolo and her sister, Tonya Pace. The two and their sister Tammy Frisbee grew up running down to the counter at Pace to grab a piece of 1-cent candy and a glass bottle coke. The Morgan girls said they idolized Eunice Pace’s movie-star-like style with her red lipstick and the flowers she regularly wore in her hair. They said she always kept a squirt gun behind the counter too, exactly where it remains today.

“It makes me feel really proud to carry on something that meant so much to us,” Tonya said. “It has always been a huge part of our hometown.”

Morgan family, too. Morgan’s daughters, Tangie,

Tammy and Tonya, are ninth-generation Saluda residents. They’ve all played a part in run-ning the family’s own antique store. Their great-grandfather, General Russell, even worked for M.A. Pace back in the 1920s.

“I think Kay (Pace’s daughter) wanted someone to run it who was from here, who knew its history,” Ciarvolo said. “When you’ve known a place like this all of your life you almost feel protective of it. So, we’re going to keep it the way they had it when we were kids.”

inated a block or two down main street from its present location in what is now Saluda City Hall. Old ledgers displayed in the store date back to 1906, while a still-working scale was first patented in 1904. The shelves along the far right side of the store continue to house old shoeboxes and various cases display items sold in the store during the early part of the 20th century.

M.A. Pace Sr. died in 1945 and at one time or another all six of his children had a hand in running the store. It was Robert Pace, though, who carried on the namesake business until the day he died.

The new store owners will host a ribbon cutting at 8 a.m. Saturday and will remain open

“What really got this engine going was a study of our exist-ing city hall,” Cole said. “We found that it would cost us near $2,000,000… to bring up these 100-year-old buildings to code and safety.”

Back in December, an archi-tect and historic preservation ex-pert estimated the first phase of renovating the current city hall building would c o s t a r o u n d $282,000.

The prelimi-nary conditions assessment stat-ed the building, previously re-stored in 1986, has suffered from deferred maintenance. Continual wa-ter infiltration t h r o u g h t h e roof, masonry and sheet metal has also led to damage on the interior as well as damage to the structural wood framing.

Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden said the city has previously passed up two other options to purchase property that would al-low everything to be put together. This time he believes the town must jump at the chance to grab property that would keep city hall on main street.

“It’s within walking distance of the bank and the post office, plus there is parking and ample room to keep all city offices on the same floor. For me it’s a good thing long range for the city,” Baisden said.

Cole said a move of city ser-vices would not mean the town would abandon the city hall building.

In his budget proposal, $10,000 of debt service would be set aside for the beginning of a process for repairs and renova-tion to the historic building. This, Cole said, would allow the city to move into a newer facility while taking its time to renovate the former city hall building as funds become available through grants and fundraising.

“The board has not voted on it but they have instructed me to get a financing agreement

prepared and an appraisal on the property set up,” Cole said.

If this plan and the cor-r e s p o n d i n g budget are ap-p r o v e d , t h e board would be required by law to hold a public hearing 10 days later.

To relocate city hall, Sa-luda must also submit an ap-p l i ca t i on to the local gov-

ernment commission stating the city’s need and the dollar amounts involved. The commis-sion requires 45 days of delibera-tion before it renders a decision. Taxes and rate increases

Saluda’s total budget appro-priations equal $1,416,815, with estimated revenues at $932,430 and estimated expenditures at $1,073,870.

The city’s 2011/2012 budget options also include either a six-cent or a 10-cent property tax increase and a 3 percent garbage rate increase.

Saluda last raised property taxes by 8 cents in 2008. The city hiked garbage rates by 3 percent in 2009. Officials said the city has no plans this year of increasing water and sewer rates, however.

• Saluda budget(Continued From page 4)


“Basically the economy has affected all local governments’ revenue streams. That’s why I’ve given the board so many different scenarios [in the budget proposal] so they can make the decision as to how much they feel the town needs to survive in the event of an emergency.”

Cole said a 10-cent tax in-crease would leave an estimated 34.9 percent fund balance at the end of next budget year, while a six-cent increase would leave Saluda with 30.8 percent. No tax increase would lower Saluda’s fund balance to 218,392 or 24.8 percent.

Cole said Saluda experienced a 14-percent loss in its state col-lected revenues, back in 2008. And he said while the town’s not losing ground, it’s not gain-ing either.

“Basically the economy has affected all local govern-ments’ revenue streams,” he said. “That’s why I’ve given the board so many different sce-narios [in the budget proposal]so they can make the decision as to how much they feel the town needs to survive in the event of an emergency.”

Saluda has faced such events before. He said two years ago the city expended $80,000 to repair damage from an ice storm.

“You have to have strength to get through those emergencies. It’s about having the financial strength until the aid kicks in,” he said.

Saluda will hold a public hear-ing June 30 to adopt one of the two budgets or a combination of the two, Cole said.

Polk concession stand stirs discussionby Leah Justice

The Polk County Recre-ation Department was a topic of discussion throughout the Polk County Board of Com-missioners’ June 6 meeting at the Saluda School auditorium, even though the topic being discussed had been removed from the agenda.

Commissioner Ted Owens originally placed an item on the agenda titled “recreation department.” He then removed the item, saying the issue had been settled.

Owens said he placed the item on the agenda after be-ing contacted by a couple of residents who were concerned that the recreation department concession stand was not open on a recent game day. He said he later spoke with someone who said they would handle the issue, but by then the agenda had been completed.

Commissioner Cindy Walk-er suggested in the future all items placed on the agenda should include an explanation.

Owens said he put the item on the agenda with little infor-mation because it was close to the deadline for adding agenda items.

A recreation department employee said the concession stand was not open because the department had not been notified games were being held that day. The employee said the concession stand was given a schedule of games at the begin-ning of the season and updates have not been provided.

A few people spoke during public comments about the issue, including some who traveled to the meeting specifi-cally to speak on the recreation department agenda item.

One speaker included Lu-Ann Bryan of the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF), which some people said had provided grant money used to construct some of the recreation park.

Bryan expressed concern that the baseball fields are not being used according to the grant specifications, but it was discovered that the baseball fields were not constructed us-ing PARTF grant funding.

Others attending suggested

organizations using the county’s baseball fields be charged a fee, similar to how Harmon Field charges organizations for the use of its fields.

Commissioners have not discussed the issue again since the June 6 meeting.

Columbus attorney’s license suspendedby Leah Justice

Local attorney Charles “Mark” Feagan’s license has been suspended, according to the “North Carolina State Bar Summer 2011 Journal.”

The journal states, “Charles Feagan of Columbus neglected his client’s case and failed to respond to the Bar. Feagan was reprimanded for similar misconduct in 2009. The DHC (Disciplinary Hearing Commis-sion) suspended his license for five years.”

Feagan practiced law in Polk County and also formerly served as a Columbus town councilman.

Changes likely for Polk County Red Cross soonby Samantha Hurst

Changes are likely on the ho-rizon for the Polk County Red Cross as the new budget year approaches for the nonprofit organization.

Patrick Fitzsimmons, the American Red Cross’ regional CEO for Western North Caro-lina, said expenditures outpaced contributions this year, causing administrators to realize a need to take cost-cutting measures.

“We are looking at oppor-tunities we have to consoli-date Red Cross offices and other resources that will save us money and still ensure services

are not affected in any way,” Fitzsimmons said. “So, the Red Cross will still be in Polk County, but possibly with less staff or reduced office hours.

The merg-ing of the Polk and Rutherford county chapters is one of several possibilities under consideration, he said.

“We have two Red Cross offices 12 miles apart. We are

looking at how we can reduce i n f r a s t r u c -ture (build-ings, phone systems, etc) costs, while maintaining our services and presence in both coun-ties,” Fitzsim-mons said.

Former Polk County Red Cross director Jessica Burnett left the chapter this spring and while Fitzsimmons said a new director will be named, that person will likely cover a larger territory.

“[Polk County Red Cross supporters] will see that Red Cross services continue un-changed, but they will also see a more efficient use of our resources,” he said. “The Red Cross will still provide assistance to disaster victims, provide training in health and safety classes, provide help to our military families and collect blood for our area hospitals.”

Polk County board chair Clay Ayers said he knows nei-ther he nor the people in Ruth-erford want to lose their chapter but said he knows the volun-teers in Polk will keep essential services going regardless of any changes.

“The disaster team that sup-ports all the emergency re-sponse people… will still be operating as before – 24-hours, seven days a week, 365 days a year – and I’m sure the blood drives will still be the same,” Ayers said.

Fitzsimmons added that the challenges facing the Red Cross in counties like Polk and Rutherford are not unique to this area.

“Like most companies and non-profits, the Red Cross nationally is experiencing de-pressed income and a need to reorganize to save money and more efficiently manage our resources so that our services remain unchanged and Ameri-cans can count on us,” he said.

Fitzsimmons assured that contributions made to the Red Cross in Polk County would continue to be used exclusively to assist Polk County residents, despite any potential changes, whether those include a merged chapter or not. He said the or-ganization “doggedly” honors donor intent in that regard even though checks might be sent to an office in Asheville.

Donations can also be brought directly to the chapter office, Ayers said.

The Polk County Red Cross’ new budget year takes effect July 1.

“We are looking at opportunities we have to consolidate Red Cross offices and other resources that will save us money and still ensure services are not affected in any way.”

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Keeping Documents Safe

Q. Where should I keep my estate planning documents?a. In North Carolina only the original will may be presented for probate. Lack of an original will causes problems and administrative delays at the very least and for that reason, your will should be secured in a safe place. a bank safe deposit box may not be the best place since banks may seal the box upon your death. Many clients prefer their attorneys store the will to assure its availability for probate and they retain a copy for their records. If you do this, make sure the copy of your will bears a legend stating where the original may be located. More than one trust agreement may be executed; duplicate or even triplicate originals may be stored in different locations. It is never a good idea to write on or attempt to revise your documents. Later entries on a will or trust create uncertainty with respect to the intent of the creator requiring lengthy court proceedings to resolve. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques. sass-032291

Foreclosures fall 38 percent in North CarolinaThe number of foreclosures

in North Carolina dropped 38.3 percent last month compared to a year ago, according to data from RealtyTrac Inc. The company re-ported there were 2,689 homes in the state going through foreclosure proceedings in May, which was down 3.4 percent from April 2011.

The decline in foreclosures in North Carolina exceeded the de-cline seen nationwide. RealtyTrac reported foreclosures dropped 33.4 percent across the nation last month compared to May 2010, and foreclosures dropped 2 percent compared to April 2011.

South Carolina’s foreclosure rate in May was closer to the national average. The Palmetto State had 2,854 households in foreclosure last month, or a rate of one in every 730 households. Foreclosures were down 8 percent in South Carolina compared to the previous month.

Cliffs Communities has filed a lawsuit claiming it was defrauded by a Texas company that gained control of a large share of two Cliffs developments, The Cliffs at High Carolina and The Cliffs at Walnut Cove.

The lawsuit claims Synovus Bank, based in Georgia, and companies re-lated to Urbana, arranged a deal that resulted in Urbana “essentially stealing” Cliffs properties valued at more than $300 million.

Urbana now controls about 250 lots at Walnut Cove, located in Avery’s Creek near Asheville, and about 250 lots at High Carolina, a 3,000-acre development between Fairview and Swannanoa that is expected to eventually feature a Tiger Woods-designed golf course.

The Cliffs controls about 250 lots at Walnut Cove and about 850

at High Carolina. According to the lawsuit, Cliffs

Communities claims Urbana gained control of its share through a fraudulent transaction. Cliffs said Urbana agreed to purchase $105 million in Cliffs debt for about $60

million. How-ever, Cl i ffs’ lawsuit claims Urbana lacked the funds so it obtained a large

loan from NBSC, a unit of Syno-vus, and used The Cliffs land as collateral. Urbana was able to obtain the favorable deal through personal relationships with officials at Synovus and NBSC, claims The Cliffs.

The dispute with Urbana and Synovus is the latest financial dif-ficulty faced by The Cliffs, which last year borrowed $62 million from residents in its communities to complete work on golf courses and other amenities. It’s unclear

how the lawsuit will affect the future of the High Carolina and Walnut Cove developments in Buncombe County.

***The N.C. Senate has approved a

bill that would require young driv-ers to show they have completed many hours of driving practice with a parent or qualified adult before they can obtain a learner’s permit.

The bill, sponsored by Johnston County Republican David Rouzer and approved 49-0 in the Senate, would require 120 hours of driv-ing time with an adult over several months.

Rouzer acknowledged that 120 hours of supervised driving may seem like a lot to some parents, but he said the state has to do something to curb the number of deaths on roads in the state.

THE PEG SUS GROUP

examined teen highway deaths, would give North Carolina one of the most restrictive young-driver laws in the country. The measure is expected to go to the full House for consideration.

Legislators in the N.C. House already are considering legislation that would make North Carolinians wait until they are 19 before they can get an unrestricted driver’s license. A House judiciary subcom-mittee approved by a 5-4 vote the measure that would make young drivers wait an extra year for the unrestricted license.

***Legislation

aimed at curb-ing the annexa-tion authority of cities and towns in North Carolina has moved closer to ap-proval in the N.C. Senate.

The Senate Finance Committee has approved a bill that would let landowners block proposed an-nexations. Under the bill, a town or city would be prohibited from seeking an involuntary annexation if 60 percent of the landowners in the annexation area sign a petition opposing the action. The petition would have to be completed within about four months after the annexa-tion is approved.

Landowners also would have a chance to obtain water and sewer service taps for free if enough of them request it within about three months of the annexation.

Supporters of the bill said it will greatly restrict the author-ity of towns and cities to expand through “forced” or involuntary annexation. The N.C. League of Municipalities has said the bill will harm the financial health of cities and towns across the state by tak-ing away their ability to grow at a manageable rate.

The bill, already approved by the N.C. House, will require ap-proval of the full Senate.

***The Environment and Natural

Resources Committee in the N.C.

House voted to eliminate North Carolina’s program to monitor clean air regulations. The bill aims to prohibit the state from enforcing regulations relating to greenhouse gas emissions beyond those enforced by the federal gov-ernment.

Five companies that have the highest emissions of hazardous pollutants in the state have urged Republican legislators in the N.C. General Assembly to repeal the state’s Air Toxic Regulations. Ac-cording to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the five compa-nies, which include Duke Energy, were responsible for more than half of the hazardous chemicals emis-sions in the state in 2009.

Sheila Hol-man, director of N.C. Division of Air Qual-ity, said North Carolina cur-

rently has stricter regulations for hazardous emissions than the federal government. She said the federal government’s rules do not go far enough to protect the state’s air quality. Holman said she was not advised of the legislation to repeal the air toxics program before the bill was introduced this week. She voiced concern that the bill was moving quickly through the N.C. General Assembly without sufficient time for public comment.

Emerald Isle Republican Pat McElraft, who introduced the amendment to eliminate the air tox-ics program, said the change would bring North Carolina’s regulations in line with surrounding states, which rely only on federal regula-tions for air quality. She said the change is needed to make the state competitive for businesses.

***Economists at Wells Fargo said

leisure and hospitality jobs in Asheville are on the rise since last year, but job growth is slow in other areas and it likely will take years before the area’s jobless rate returns to pre-recession levels.

Court Results

said Asheville has not seen an increase in professional and business ser-vices jobs as o ther a reas have, partly because there are fewer peo-ple moving to the area.

***Max Heller, a former mayor

of Greenville, S.C., who helped lead the revitalization of the city’s downtown area, died this week at the age of 92. Heller was the mayor of the city from 1971 to 1979, a period in which he led improvements in afford-

able housing and treatment for youthful and first-time offend-ers. He also helped lead the search for a major anchor that would bring back retail business-

es to the city’s Main Street d o w n t o w n . That search brought the Hyatt Hotel

to North Main Street and led to a major redevelopment across the downtown area.

Heller was an Austrian Jew-ish refugee who fled from Nazi genocide in 1938, eventually settling in America, where he launched a successful career in the textile business before beginning public service.

Dinner, nature walk with Patrick McMillan June 25A dinner and a nature walk

are scheduled for Saturday, June 25 to raise funds for the continued production of the locally produced award-winning public television se-ries “Expeditions with Patrick McMillan.”

“Patrick knows our state, and he reminds us - and much of the rest of the world - of what we have and must protect, and we need to protect his ability to do that,” said Eva Pratt, who, with her husband Sam and other

concerned friends, are organiz-ing this fundraising event.

The dinner will be at 7 p.m. at the recently renovated Tryon Depot in Tryon, for a donation. The event will include a pre-sentation by Dr. McMillan and a silent auction, which has so far accrued three guided hikes, a bird feeder, toys and native plants.

The first 25 people to make reservations will also have the opportunity to take a walk with McMillan at Pearson’s Falls,

a botanical preserve between Tryon and Saluda that is home to many rare plants and wild-flowers. The walk will be held June 25 at 3 p.m.

Reservations can be made by emailing [email protected]. Seating is limited.

Checks should be mailed to Eva Pratt, 2556 Compton Bridge Road, Inman, S.C. 29349, made out to Clemson University Foundation for ‘Ex-peditions with Patrick.’ If you’d like to donate but cannot attend,

donations of any amount are appreciated.

“Expeditions with Patrick McMillan” is a popular televi-sion series produced by Clem-son University’s Public Ser-vice Activities. The program presents the natural world and humankind’s connection to and impact on it - exploring, explaining, and enlightening. It is aired across the country and winner of several awards.

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

It was late March when Jewel was brought to FHS, found wandering as a stray and obvi-ously quite sick.

Jewel, a shepherd-cattle dog cross, was only about 6 weeks old when she was brought to Landrum vet for an evaluation. She was found to have severe pneumonia and a long slow process of treatment was begun.

By the end of April she had beat back the pneumonia but had developed a virulent coc-cidian, which is not only dan-gerous, but highly contagious.

The fund that was han-dling Jewel’s expenses had run out of mon-ey. It seemed this poor girl couldn’t catch a break.

I had visited Jewel a few times and, despite all her prob-lems, she was fighting and growing and always hungry for human attention.

Knowing that Dr. Donna Raines would not give up on her, I went to see Elaine, her staff chief, and had Jewel’s expenses switched to Lennie’s Fund.

Jewel is now approximately 5 months old. It’s been a long hard battle, but she finally won it.

She’s due to come back to FHS at the first opening and I can’t wait to see her running healthy and happy.

She’s still a puppy and her disposition is wonderful. Let’s find her a good home and make her battle worthwhile.

On May 9, four Boxer puppies, one week old, were brought to FHS, two of which are depicted in the photo. It was discovered they probably had parvo and their chances for life weren’t very good. They were coughing up blood and mucus as they literally fought for breath; it was a pitiful sight

Fighting for life

to behold. Our staff was frantic, trying

to keep their lungs clear and do-ing everything they could to help them hold on. I can still hear the cries of pain from the

staff as the battle was being lost. On the third day, the little

male succumbed to the disease shortly followed by another a few days later. Another week went by and one of the two shown also lost the battle. This left us with Athena. Athena became one month of age last week and is now being fostered with Stephanie. I spoke with Stephanie yesterday.

“How’s our little trooper doing, Red (my nickname for Stephanie)?”

“She’s eating and pooping up a storm,” Red said, smiling.

Throughout all the heartache and work involved, nothing brings us greater joy than when we win one.

My fingers are still crossed and I’ve asked the Lord to help with yet another one. For some reason, these little fighters seem to make the greatest pets.

For now it seems that with the help of many caring people Jewel and Athena have won their fight for life; let us do our best to make that life worth living.

Thanks for listening.

Author Heather Newton to speak at Lanier Library June 21

Author Heather Newton will speak about her new novel, “Under the Mercy Trees,” at the Lanier Library on Tuesday, June 21 at noon. The program is free and everyone is welcome.

A native of Raleigh, N.C., Heather Newton is the daughter of an author of children’s books and, following her mother’s lead, began creating her own books as a small child. Her love of writing continued as she studied history at Carnegie Mellon University and law at U.N.C. Chapel Hill.

After taking her first job in the field of law in Boston, she continued writing and joined a critique group to hone her skills. When she had paid off her student loans she quit her job, went traveling and wrote her first novel. Although she said she wasn’t pleased with her first book, she learned much from the writing process, moved to Asheville to be closer to her family and went back to practicing law.

Newton met her husband, Michael, in Asheville and, after their marriage, began working on her second novel, which she describes as a “not-very-thrilling legal thriller.” She then joined the “Flatiron Writers” group in Asheville.

After publishing several of her short stories in the Flatiron group’s anthology, “Irons in the Fire: Stories from the Flatiron Writers,” she began to work on her third novel, “Under the Mer-cy Trees,” which was published by HarperCollins in January of this year. The novel, which is set in the mountains of West-ern North Carolina, involves a man’s search for his missing brother while dealing with long unresolved family matters.

“Publishers Weekly” said of

the novel, “Newton delivers a stirring debut novel told from the perspective of four central characters embroiled in a fam-ily drama that spans generations and is riddled with defensive secrecy and emotional penury in equal measures. Newton delivers across the board with these characters.”

Tom Franklin, New York Times best selling author de-scribed it as “a novel that seam-lessly, beautifully, twines past with present to show how we can never escape our histories or the deeds – good and bad – that create those histories. The powerful, swelling conclusion of this book raised gooseflesh on my arms and had me near tears.”

Copies of the book will be available for purchase and sign-ing by the author.

The program is one of the monthly Brown Bag Lunch se-ries at the Lanier Library, which is on the corner of Melrose Avenue and Chestnut Street in Tryon. Coffee is available and audience members are encour-aged to bring their own brown bag lunch if they so wish.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Water safety important part of summer well-being

Even though the subject of this week’s column doesn’t involve exercise or nutrition, it definitely has to do with one’s well-being.

As a WSI (water safety instructor) for the American Red Cross, I have certified l i f e g u a r d s , taught water safety to Ma-rines, taught swimming and run large pool facility, so the subject of water safety is an area with which I’m very familiar.

Statistically, in the United States, 50 percent of all those who drown each year never intended to get in the water in the first place. Also, nearly 1,000 children drown each year.

It’s absolutely crucial to learn how to keep yourself and your family safe in and around water. We call this “water proof-ing.” Children need constant supervision. Some kids have no fear of water, but also have no breath control. Did you know young children can drown in just 2 inches of water?

This means that extreme care should be taken not just in swim-ming pools, but also in bathtubs, sinks, wading pools, fountains, toilets, buckets and even ditches filled with rainwater.

Make no mistake; drowning can occur very quickly, so never let children out of your sight for even a few seconds. I once had to jump off a second story balcony to rescue a 5-year-old whose mother took her eyes off him for just a few seconds.

Make sure you teach your kids to swim early on.

Even children more than 1 year old should learn. Make sure your kids are taught by qualified instructors. All kids should be constantly super-vised, no matter what their skill

level. Infants and small children should have an adult within arm’s reach. This is called “touch supervision.”

Make sure your kids have Coast Guard-approved flota-tion devices like life vests on whenever they are near water.

Make sure the vest has a strap that fits down between the

legs, and has a collar to keep the child’s head up, and his face out of the water.

All swimmers, regardless of age or skill level, should swim with a buddy, whether you’re in a lake or a pool. There have been many good swim-mers – even lifeguards – who have drowned, because they became overconfident, and got into trouble in the water. Also, remember, it only takes a tea-spoon of water in the lungs to drown you.

I recommend swimmers take life saving classes. Know your limits. Swimming in a lake, river or ocean is not the same as swimming in a pool, because you have to account for moving currents. This takes more of your energy.

If you do find yourself in the water unexpectedly, or if you get in trouble in the water, don’t panic. If you relax your muscles, you’ll float much more easily. If you tense up, you’ll tend to sink. Also, if you panic, you will run out of air faster.

If you find yourself in a cur-rent, swim with the current and gradually try to make it back to shore.

One other condition I would like to mention is something some people have never even heard of before. It’s called “dry drowning.”

a person’s lungs are unable to take in oxygen, due to breath-ing in a very small amount of water. While the water prevents the lungs from oxygenating the blood, the heart does not slow down, so the person can still walk and talk, but then later die from lack of oxygen.

Sometimes in dry drowning, the larynx goes into spasms. This is called a laryngospasm. This also deprives the victim of oxy-gen. A sudden change in a per-son’s mood, or personality, en-ergy level, agitation, sleepiness, vomiting, involuntary defecation or extreme lethargy may be a

Letter to the Editor

Bridge Dog rescuedTo the Editor: On Monday, June 13 our

“Bridge Dog,” loved and cared for by so many Saluda folks and several rescue organizations, was safely rescued.

Dr. Matthews of Saluda Vet-erinary Hospital had been on standby during the last weeks and received the dog within minutes after the rescue to check her overall condition.

Instrumental in the rescue were Dave and Marilyn Prud-homme and Ruth Anderson who, day after day, for several months, oversaw her feeding; Kayla Par-rish, who is the area “Dog Whis-perer;” Lonnie Hasselbring, who is part of the Foothills Humane Society rescue group; Ruth Grubbs, who called to offer the assistance which resulted in such

a rewarding rescue; and last but not least, the Foothills Humane Society in Columbus, which is an all-volunteer organization that shelters cats and dogs from part of upstate South Carolina and Polk County.

The following establishments were so kind to offer food to help sustain Bridge Dog in her long wait on the Bridge: Larkin’s Grill, Thompson’s Store and Grill, The Purple Onion and Caro Mi. They all deserve our support for their assistance in helping keep Bridge Dog alive.

The Saluda Dog Society, which recognized the plight of “Bridget,” as she has been named, and the Foothills Hu-mane Society welcome any do-nations to assist in her recovery as well as the care of many other four footed creatures who have been abandoned, abused or lost from their owners.

Brad Hughley featured at St. James Episcopal Church June 22

Brad Hughley, organist and choirmaster at St. Bar-tholomew’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta, will be the featured organist when St. James Epis-copal Church hosts the rite of Morning Prayer for the Asso-ciation of Anglican Musicians, June 22 at 10 a.m. at the church, located at 766 N. Main St. in Hendersonville.

The association will hold four summer conference meet-ings in four neighboring coun-ties for more than 200 Epis-copal Church musicians from across the nation. The national conference will also meet at Furman University Chapel in Greenville, S.C., the Cathedral of All Souls and the Biltmore House in Asheville, N.C., and Church of the Advent in Spar-tanburg, S.C.

“We are delighted to wel-come the Association of Angli-can Musicians to the Carolinas

and to St. James in Henderson-ville,” said Brad Gee, St. James’ director of music and principal organist. “The organ at St. James is a Harrison and Harri-son from Durham, England, and is an outstanding installation in a beautiful neo-Gothic church with beautiful stained-glass windows and superb acoustics. We are thrilled to be hosting the service of Morning Prayer for this conference.”

The Rev. Michael Sulli-van, rector of Holy Innocents’ Episcopal Church in Atlanta, will officiate and preach the service. The public is welcome to attend, free of charge.

For more information, con-tact Gee at 694-6925 or by e-mail at [email protected], or visit the church website at www.stjamesepis-copal.com.

Children may still sign up

for summer reading and get in on the activities that will take place through the end of July.

The deadline for the “Fa-mous Buildings Around the World” lego contest is Thurs-day, June 30 at 8 p.m.

History program June 21 at Landrum Library postponed

The history presentation and book signing for “Distill-ing the Mysteries of Hogback Mountain” have been replaced by an alternate program. This program is scheduled for the same time at the Landrum Library on Tuesday, June 21 at 6:30 p.m. In its place, the Dark Corner History Program, “The Stills of Glassy Mountain,” will be presented.

“Stills of Glassy Mountain” features the stories of Deputy Sheriff PraloWood and Revenue Agent Jim Tanersley. It contains numerous photographs of this storied period, including photos of the remains of the broken

stills hidden in the woods.The reason for this change

is that the publisher failed to sew the binding of the book - a requirement when using high quality color photographic pa-per. The result is a product that would not hold up over time. The author, Jim Stehlik, said it would be unacceptable to dis-tribute a defective product. The books are being returned to the publisher and will be rebound at their expense. It is anticipated that the books will be returned in about three weeks, and the event will be rescheduled.

Letter to the Editor

County tax cutTo the Editor: Mrs. McDermott, if the

county collects money from the taxpayers that is over and above what they need to pro-vide county services and to maintain the required reserve, that money should be returned

to the taxpayers. I don’t see where that is open

to debate. Whether it is $1, $10 or $100

per taxpayer, the government should not be able to build up an excess slush fund in an economy where its citizens are trying to stretch every dollar they have to make ends meet.

A form of torture: Food fast for beloved pet

This evening will mark a momentous day for me.

I am coming out of the clos-et… and eating in front of my dog again.

Living on a farm, for many a greedy pet, can be a rather vile form of a ‘Golden Corral.’

Despite our best efforts to keep our terriers healthy and thriving by creating meals for them consisting of organic chicken, brown rice and peas. Bonnie and Rosie, with willful intensity, have been known to sample drop-p i n g s f r o m t h e m a n u r e pile as well as raid the litter box as soon as our backs are turned. This backfired on Bonnie (and I do mean backfired) a few days ago when both her breakfast and dinner reappeared within a couple of hours.

In spite of this, Bonnie looked bright. Her energy level, particularly for a 10-year-old dog with an enlarged heart, was through the roof. However, tak-ing no chances, we took her to the vet the following morning where she was first palpated, then X-rayed and finally given a full blood count, which con-firmed our vet’s suspicions that there was no obstruction or infection but, rather, “garbage gut” and probably an irritated pancreas.

Antibiotics were prescribed along with a three-day fast with no more than a tablespoon of prescribed dog food for the first meal, followed by two tablespoons for the next and, if everything stayed put, in-creased to three for the third. This would be repeated over the weekend until Sunday when she could go back to her regular intake.

This regimen was tanta-mount to torture for both Bon-

nie and me. I deny her nothing. We are attached at the hip. We eat together, sleep together - she even lies in the shade of the oaks beside the riding arena while I work horses in the morning. She rises only after hearing me clap my horse’s neck in approval, signaling the end of the session and a cooling-out walk through the field, Bonnie trotting happily ahead with the dignified air of an emissary.

So you can imagine my heartbreak the first night as I made dinner for Paul and me: an enor-mous sa lad with smoked sa lmon and

crusty bread, knowing Bonnie and Rosie were sitting directly behind my feet, wiggling, as they anticipated their own meal. Yet, I could only turn and pres-ent Bonnie with a tablespoon of Science Diet’s “Please Don’t Vomit on the Rug” Formula while Rosie scarfed up her own dinner, hidden on the other side of the kitchen island.

Bonnie inhaled her table-spoon at Mach III and then, with cocked ears and wonder-ing eyes, silently implored, “Why aren’t you feeding me? What have I done? Please, I’m hungry!”

“I can’t bear this! I can’t!” I cried and, grabbing my plate, dashed up the stairs to our bed-room, slammed the door and began to eat. Within moments the click of toenails ascended the stairs and gave the door a pathetic scratch. Close to tears, I then hid with my wretched conscience in the closet and finished my dinner amid waves of guilt.

Two hours later and feeling peckish for something sweet, I remembered we had some ice

cream in the freezer. Unfor-tunately, we have frequently been guilty of letting Bonnie and Rosie lick the bowls (the rinse cycle, Paul calls it) and I couldn’t face eating Bluebell’s ‘Coconut Fudge’ in front of my beloved dog.

The only other thing that means the world to Bonnie is a tattered Wilson tennis ball and I hastily devised a plan.

“You get the ice cream and take it into the bathroom,” I whispered hoarsely to Paul in case Bonnie’s vocabulary was far more advanced than previ-ously thought.

“And I’ll heave this tennis ball as far as I can, then run in and join you.”

With Seal Team 6 precision, I opened the front door and, displaying a pretty good arm, hurled the ball as far as I could deep into the woods.

Distracted momentarily from her empty stomach, Bon-

nie shot down the front steps and, with the same alacrity, I wheeled around and shot down the hall to the bathroom, finding Paul perched upon the toilet and consuming, I thought, far more than his fair share. Coming out a few moments later we were met in the hallway by Bonnie, tennis ball still clinging wetly between her jaws, sitting back on her haunches and surveying the entire sordid scene.

Quietly, she placed the ball carefully on the floor and sank down, laying her head upon her crossed forelegs with a deep sigh.

Bursting into tears I cried, “This is so cruel! Surely she can have more than a tablespoon of food?”

“No, she can’t.” said Paul, sternly. “Dr Jeni made that very clear. She’s essentially on a three-day fast.”

Tonight marks the end of the misery. My dog will have the best dinner she’s ever eaten.

Followed, I am quite certain, by a trip to the manure pile.

USDA reminds producers to file AGI consent forms with IRS

The USDA Farm Service Agency reminds producers that to receive USDA program pay-ments, each recipient must have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) verification consent form on file with the Internal Revenue Ser-vice (IRS).

The consent form authorizes the IRS to verify a recipient’s AGI eligibility requirements for USDA programs. The form became a requirement for pay-ment eligibility beginning with the 2009 crop year. However, too many program participants have not complied with this re-quirement.

Nationwide, FSA is missing the required consent forms from some producers for 2009 and 2010. To avoid an interruption of payments, producers need to check their business records and submit these forms to the IRS

immediately.IRS requires written consent

from all individuals or legal enti-ties before AGI verification can be provided to USDA. Individu-als must submit form CCC-927. Legal entities must submit form CCC-928. Without these forms on file, producers will not receive USDA program payments.

Consent forms are required for payments received from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) as well as those received through FSA. Com-pleted forms must be returned to the IRS.

For more information on AGI eligibility requirements or the AGI verification process, contact the Henderson-Polk-Transylvania County FSA office at 828-693-1406, ext. 2.

My friend Ron Mosseller and I share many interests and some reading material, mostly aviation books.

This time he brought me three copies of “The State” magazine with articles by his mother, Lillian Mills Mosseller, all illustrated with Ron’s pen and ink drawings.

The writ-ing is living history well told, and the drawings are so colorful that you forget they are black lines on a white back-ground.

“We Make Our Own Jobs” is from the June 1987 issue and includes a photo of Ron (with lots of black hair) and his mom. The article is mostly about Sally Streadwick Cathey, who scoured the countryside of three states looking for hand-crafted items.

With her husband, George, she opened the Blue Ridge Weavers shop in Tryon to mar-ket the crafts she found. I re-member the shop well because they had a small area devoted to model airplane kits! I suppose they regarded them as a “craft.”

Ms. Mosseller also mentions the Valhalla Hand Weavers

in the Valley. J o h n L a w -rence built the handlooms on which local ladies wove beautiful fab-

ric goods. I had a box of their woolen neckties (every color!) that I wore for years because they always looked new - well, almost.

Saluda also comes into her article for its hooked rugs (she explains this process in detail) by Dora Arledge, wrought iron works by artist blacksmith Wil-

‘We Make Our Own Jobs’Willie Mills drawn by Ron Mosseller.

lie Stevenson and locally made rustic pine furniture sold there by one Kathy McCreary.

From the August 1975 is-sue we learn that her ancestor William Mills planted apple trees all over Our Area some 30 years before the Johnny Appleseed we read about in third grade.

“Where did he get the seed?”“From an apple, of course.”To which she comments,

“I was afraid if I asked where Willie got the apple, she [the late Sadie Patton, Polk County historian] would retort that Eve gave it to him.”

In addition to more of Ron’s special drawings, there are sev-eral photographs: my favorite

shows five shapely young ladies picking apples.

The July 1971 issue features “Sentimental Diet,” a fun ar-ticle about dining too often on favorite foods associated with the persons who introduced her to them.

Among the many descrip-tions of gastric delights, de-signed to initiate copious drool-ing, she mentions her first meal taken in a Pullman dining car.

Remember the elegance of train travel in Pullman cars? In their heyday, owning your own Pullman car was a great status symbol. Imagine, you just ar-ranged to have it hitched to the train of your choice and then boarded without a pat down.

Lillian Mills Mosseller is part of the historically signifi-cant Mills family that includes

not only William, but Colum-bus and Ambrose.

The area around the inter-section of Highways 108 and 9 was originally called Mills Springs, for William Mills and the two springs that supplied plenty of good water. A lazy postmaster is said to have “of-ficially” removed the “s” from both words.

Dr. Columbus Mills had to petition the state legisla-ture twice to get Polk County established, because the first authorization expired before squabbling local politicians could agree on the location of the county seat.

The legislature appointed non-local people the second time, and they selected the present town site. They named it Columbus for Dr. Mills, but

the main thoroughfare was named for one of the five com-missioners who formed the new county government.

The first Colonel Ambrose Mills was hanged after the battle of Kings Mountain, but his contemporary direct descendent goes by Ambrose Mills III even though he is one of many named Ambrose in the long line.

He rented a costume and presented a program about his famous ancestor to the Polk County Historical Association back when I was its president. I suggested that he’d better buy the uniform, because he would need it many more times due to the importance and excellence of his presentation.

Turns out I was right, and he did.

Garden and busy community provide comfort

“And then I feel the sun itselfas it blazes over the hills,like a million flowers on

fire --clearly I’m not needed,yet I feel myself turninginto something of inexpli-

cable value.”– from Mary Oliver, “The

Buddha’s Last Instruction”

Out in the backyard, Pooh’s garden is blooming; since he died in early May, I’ve had offers of dogs, cats and more, but have not felt quite ready to adopt anoth-er four-legged friend just yet.

I ’ l l k n o w when the time is right. That does not mean I haven’t been ‘shopping’ the Shar-Pei rescue website again ... all those ador-able wrinkled faces speak to me, begging for a home.

His garden serves as great comfort to me in a tangible way - I can see it from where I paint on the back deck or ar-rive: there it is, waiting, just as he did when he was here. Soft lavender delphiniums on elegant spikes, trailing verbena, dusky French lavender, bright coreopsis, green hostas, white peonies, roses, iris, purple calla lilies, hydrangeas, globe basil, an occasional tomato, kale and more - all grace his resting place.

More plants are added as time goes along, with a bird-bath for the birds Pooh enjoyed watching. This comforts my heart: the patient tending of earth and flora. Under the Japa-nese maple’s fishpond, Banjo the iridescent bullfrog watches from a rock perch, unafraid. We both miss Pooh, and he lets me playfully spray him with mist

while I clean the pond filter. Doesn’t move an inch, just sits there happily, even as I admire his fine frog legs. Luckily for him, I’m not planning on frying them up for dinner just yet.

Community: The Saluda Tailgate Market is Friday from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. Support local folks and enjoy the smiles, fresh and delicious offerings.

Many of our shops and res-taurants are open longer hours or on Sundays. I always say for

such a small t o w n , w e have some of the best food around!

Ward’s is celebrating with a re-grand opening? Wildflour Bakeshop has moved back into the old bakery location in Nos-talgia Courtyard… facing Main Street, and Evening Shade Pot-tery moved to the alley between Ward’s Grill and Mountain Life Realty.

There is a lot going on in Saluda! Manna Cabana is open with fresh produce and more.

If you’d be interested in an informal, fun over-45 singles’ meeting for men and women to do: wine-tasting, river tub-ing, gallery strolls, dancing, concerts/movies/plays, trying restaurants, interesting discus-sions or whatever agenda is of group interest, send me your email address. We’ll have an initial meeting if there’s enough interest from yin and yang. (There’s a Singles Women United group in Saluda for ladies if you’d like to join their regular potluck gatherings at the Saluda Center.)

Dear Savvy SeniorI’m looking at retiring some-

time this year and starting my So-cial Security benefits, but would also like to work part time. Will this affect my benefits, and if so, how much?

Social Insecurity

Dear Insecurity,You can collect Social Security

retirement benefits and work at the same time, but depending on how old you are and how much you earn, it can cost you temporarily.Here’s what you should know.

Working rulesSocial Security says if you’re

under your full retirement age (which is 66 if you were born be-tween 1943 and 1954; if not, see ssa.gov/pubs/ageincrease.htm to find your full retirement age) and are collecting benefits, then you can earn up to $14,160 in 2011 without jeopardizing any of your Social Security if you don’t reach your full retirement age this year. But if you earn more than the $14,160 limit, you’ll lose $1 in benefits for every $2 over that amount.

In the year you reach your full retirement age, a less stringent rule applies. If that happens in 2011, you can earn up to $37,680 from January to the month of your birthday with no penalty. But if you earn more than $37,680 during that time, you’ll lose $1 in benefits for every $3 over that

limit. And once your birthday passes, you can earn any amount by working without your benefits being reduced at all.

Wages, bonuses, commis-sions and vacation pay all count toward the income limits, but pensions, annuities, investment income, interest and government or military retirement benefits do not. To figure out how much your specific earnings will affect your benefits, see the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test Calcu-lator at ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/RTeffect.html.

Temporary lossIt’s also important to know

that if you do lose some or all of your Social Security benefits because of the earning limits, they aren’t lost forever. When you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be recalculated to a higher amount to make up for what was withheld. For details and examples of how this is calculated, see ssa.gov/retire2/whileworking3.htm.

Tax factorYou also need to factor in

Uncle Sam. Because working increases your income, it might make your Social Security ben-efits taxable. Here’s what the IRS says. If the sum of your adjusted

How work can affect your Social SecurityInside Back

Savvy Senior gross income, nontaxable interest, and half of your Social Security benefits is between $25,000 and $34,000 for individuals ($32,000 and $44,000 for couples), you have to pay tax on up to 50 per-cent of your benefits.

Above $34,000 ($44,000 for couples), you could pay on up to 85 percent, which is the highest portion of Social Security that is taxable. About a third of all people who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefits.

Savvy tips: For more informa-tion on how working can affect your Social Security see ssa.gov/retire2/whileworking.htm and ssa.gov/pubs/10069.html, or call the Social Security helpline at 800-772-1213 and ask to receive a free copy of publication number 05-10069, “How Work Affects Your Benefits.” And for informa-tion on Social Security taxes call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask for their free publication 915, “Social

Security and Equivalent Rail-road Retirement Benefits,” or see www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf.

Rescue, June 14, 2 - 6:30 p.m.Birthdays: Happy June

Birthday to Nancy Barnett, Verne Dawson, Peggy Ellwood, Anna Jackson, Charlie Jackson, Amy Violet Ford and Terry Ar-rington.

Garden tips: You can easily

root many plants this time of year, even by sticking cuttings from verbena in a glass jar at the window. Keep a container in your sink to catch water for plants. I add leftover coffee and grounds to the water, and the plants are appreciative.

Saucers of beer attract pesky slugs out in the yard. Earth-worms love compost heaps, so

I keep adding to mine, layers of organic kitchen scraps with dirt.

Tour Polk County’s ‘bounty’ at Second Annual PolkFresh Farm Tour June 25

Nelon Knoll Farm is home to National Bison Bull Champion Irish Warrior, pictured above. Sample America’s “original red meat,” tour up close and personal with the bison, walk among hundreds of exotic birds and peacocks and appreciate the hard work of raising sustainable foods at this one of 11 farm-tour stops Saturday, June 25. (photo submitted)

Polk County’s second an-nual PolkFresh™ Farm Tour will take place Saturday, June 25. The tour offers opportuni-ties to learn about small-scale agricultural initiatives in the community.

Participants will have the opportunity to pet goats and sample from vineyards and wineries. Learn about raising grass-fed, hormone-free Texas Longhorn Cattle, Boer Goats, Berkshire Hogs and the Ameri-can Bison. Choose a free-range chicken and have it prepared for your dinner on-site or hold baby chicks for a photo op. Learn about the small-scale farmer who lives by the philosophy of growing local to sell local through sustainable horticulture initiatives.

A vehicle pass may be pur-

chased (all funds cover the cost of the tour and benefit the Mill Spring Agricultural Develop-ment Center), with which any number of people in the vehicle may visit as many participating farms during each farm’s speci-fied hours as desired. You may also use the PolkFresh vehicle pass the next day, Sunday, June 26, to visit ASAP’s Family Farm Tour, which extends to Henderson and Buncombe counties and beyond.

Passes will be sold before the event at all four weekly farmer’s markets, daily at the Mill Spring Ag Center in Mill Spring or at the Manna Ca-banna in Saluda. Download the farm tour program and map at www.polkcountyfarms.org and purchase your pass the day of the event at any one of the farm

stops. Farm tour participants are encouraged to bring a cam-era, a cooler and cash to make purchases that day, as well as to wear farm-appropriate clothing.

Almost every stop is sam-pling their products. Farm fresh lunch specials are also available at Adawehi’s Beneficial Food Store and a Farm Tour box lunch special is available at AP Wil-liams Deli and Dairy Bar in the heart of farmland on Hwy. 9 in Green Creek. Or, take your own picnic and lunch riverside or field-side in the shade at any one of the farm tour stops that day.

You may find participating farmers, their profiles, demon-stration activities and times at www.polkcountyfarms.org.
