Apollo program, the landing on the moon. I am enclosing a letter written for my children for just that purpose. As you read this, I hope that you will recall the feeling of awe that overwhelmed us all as the astronaut walked down the ladder to set foot on the moon.
To: Richard Arthur Phillips, Thomas Rullman Phillips, Anne Phillips, Jean Vivian Phillips and Mary Phillips Avola
During your formative years, your father was very involved with the Apollo program, the landing and excursion on the moon. You didn’t know the scope of his work, what he actually did, in truth I didn’t know either. My purpose in writing is to record for you his activity on this program.
The challenge How can we land men on the
moon, keep them alive while they are there, and bring them safely back to earth?
The success of Russia’s Sputnik prodded NASA and American aerospace companies into inten-sive studies of space technology and techniques and eventually, with the assistance of President Kennedy, into the Apollo project. Scientists knew how to get to the moon and back to earth, but there was no general agreement on the best method to get astronauts on and off the moon. Bud’s company, Grumman Aerospace, had formed a Space Steering Group in the late 1950s, and continued independent study on all aspects of space, including a feasibility study for a Project Apollo manned spacecraft system in 1960.
Finally NASA decided that the most practical approach to getting astronauts to and off the moon was a lunar rendezvous method. This involved boosting three integrated units (Command, Service, and Lu-nar Modules) into space on a Saturn V rocket. The Lunar Module, con-taining two astronauts, would be disengaged, descend to the surface of the moon, and subsequently return to reconnect with the Com-mand Service modules. The Saturn
rocket had been earlier jettisoned. In August, 1962 NASA asked
for proposals on a Lunar Excursion Module. The emphasis here was still on how-to-do-it, rather than hard-ware. Grumman presented its lunar module proposal to NASA with rough design, cost estimates, and in November, 1962 was selected as prime contractor for the Lunar Excursion Module. The manufac-turer’s designation was LM, but pronounced LEM from NASA’s early name Lunar Excursion Mod-ule. It was also considered inappro-priate to apply the term “Excursion” to a scientific venture.
Bud was assigned to the space project in January, 1963 shortly after Grumman was awarded the contract. He was not entirely happy
Drawing of the lunar landing module Columbus resident Bud Phillips helped design for the NASA Apollo project which took Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to and from from the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969.

since he felt the moon’s environ-ment was unfriendly, and he really didn’t want to work in space. He liked airplanes. Another concern was the LM could never function on this planet, and could never be flight tested as a vehicle. To him this project might be wasteful en-gineering, years of work with the possibility of failure.
At this point, the concept of the lunar module had been estab-lished. LM would consist of two connected parts. The descent stage would power LM to the moon surface. The as-cent stage, with two astronauts aboard, would leave the moon to rendezvous with the com-mand service modules orbit-ing the moon. Weight was a de-finitive factor in the design since both stages must contain engines, a fuel supply, fail-safe latch-ing and unlatch-ing mechanisms, fail-safe electri-cal connections, a l l necessary equipment. To eliminate redundant weight, the descent stage would serve as a launching platform and be left behind on the moon.
Bud’s position on the program was lead engineer, vehicle design, LM ascent stage. He supervised the design of LM ascent stage, the construction of LM mock-ups and test vehicles. No part of the LM could be built without considering its overall relationship with every other part of the vehicle. So achiev-ing interface compatibility with the descent stage made John Strakosch, lead engineer on the descent stage, a close partner. Mock-ups are simu-lated space craft.
The reliability of the LM was an overriding concern. If the descent engine had malfunctioned during
the approach to a lunar landing, the entire descent stage could have been jettisoned and the ascent en-gine would have lifted the ascent stage and the astronauts back into moon orbit and to a rendezvous with command service modules. If the ascent engine had ever failed to fire or to operate at full thrust, the mission was concluded. The entire LM and the two astronauts would be left sitting on the moon.
Bud worked from January, 1963 until April, 1967 as ascent stage LM Design leader. During his tenure, manufacture started. Part of Plant V was turned into a “clean room.” The purpose of the “clean
room” was to avoid contami-nation, to mini-mize the risk of any debris from any source float-ing around in the space craft. Employees were trained in “clean room” proce-dures. All hair and facial hair (beards, mous-taches) had to be covered. Work-ers wore white smocks, boo-ties, gloves and caps. Caps were of different col-ors to identify the specialty of
the workers. On January 27, 1967, a flash fire
in the Command Module poised 218 feet above the ground atop a Saturn rocket at Cape Kennedy killed astronauts Grissom, White, and Chaffee during a rehearsal for the first manned space. The LM was not involved in the fire but the entire Apollo program was held in abeyance while an investigation was conducted and necessary pro-tective actions were taken.
There was a year’s delay in the Apollo schedule while design changes were made to reduce the fire hazard in the 100 percent oxygen cabin environment. A thorough review of all spacecraft
Lunar modules after landing
The astronauts could only re-turn to earth in the Command module designed specifically to withstand the heat of re-entry to earth’s atmosphere. When the ascent stage of LM returned from the moon to re-connect with Command Service modules, it was jet-tisoned in lunar orbit and eventually crashed on the moon. There were six ascent stages that crashed on the moon. The service modules were later jettisoned on the return trip to earth.

systems resulted, in the judgment of Grumman engineers, in a safer and more reliable vehicle.
By this time the shop was manufacturing and assembling a number of LMs. In Septem-ber, 1969, Bud’s job changed again. The shop was working day and night, three shifts, and three engineers were assigned to cover these shifts. Bud was one of them.
They were in charge of all shop assembly and test opera-tions, to be conducted without compromising performance and design integrity. When Bud had the late night shift, he would come home, eat breakfast, and take Mistress (our boat) out into Great South Bay and sleep. Frequently I would be returning home from school only to wave at him on his way to Grumman.
The first LM flight was on January 22, 1968. An unmanned LM-l was launched to test the propulsion system. LM-2 was never flown – it is in the Smith-sonian. LM -3 and LM-4 were flown testing earth orbits and lunar orbits.
Number 5 did not take shape as an entity until June 25, 1966 when welding work began on the
ascent stage. Early in January, 1969, 2½
years after work had begun, the two stages of LM 5 were sepa-rated, wrapped in protective cov-erings and encased in containers, which were then loaded aboard a Super Guppy cargo aircraft for the flight to NASA Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Seven months later, on July 20, 1969, LM 5 – now known as Eagle – landed Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon.
In all Grumman built 12 operational LMs. From Septem-ber 29, 1969 to May 1972 Bud worked as Manager LM Vehicle Design Work Package. He par-ticipated in the support of the remaining missions to the moon, resolved task and schedule con-flicts, and coordinated vehicle design activities with other LM sections. The program was in-
deed coming to an end. I asked Bud how he felt about
his ten years working on the lu-nar module. He said that it was a challenge from the start, with many unknown conditions and in an environment that allowed no margin for failure.
There were thousands of changes and modifications in the design, often tedious and tiring for personnel. There was constant repeated testing of hard-ware and systems, but there was no other way to attain reliability. Overtime hours were excessive, burdensome despite the size of the check.
There is no complaint, how-ever, with success, and the LM was successful – it did exactly what Grumman engineers and the manufacturing teams ex-pected it to do: “One giant step for mankind.”
Phillips meets LindberghOn an evening shift covering the shop, Bud received a call
saying that a “very important person” was expected to observe the LEM being built. The “very important person” turned out to be Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
Bud spent an hour and a half in LEM cabin explaining systems and their operations to Col. Lindbergh. He answered very explicit questions about procedures and the activities of the astronauts.
This was truly a memorable occasion for both men.
case, the town cannot shut off service because although the development is behind on its bill, the homeowners have paid their bills on time, Columbus officials said last week.
Mayor Pro-tem Richard Hall, who ran the Columbus town council meeting last week in Mayor Eric McIntyre’s ab-sence, said the town is not re-sponsible for the water system in the Sanctuary, but the town does have to provide water to the homes, the meters and pumps.
“Our policy is if a customer doesn’t pay the bill, we cut the water off,” Hall said, “but, the problem is the homeowners are paying their bills.”
The town last year decided to install a master meter at the base of the Sanctuary property to meter all the water that goes into the development.
The homeowners also have separate meters. The town
subtracts the amounts of the homeowners' readings from the master meter and bills each individual homeowner. The remainder is then billed to

developers. The town is also being paid
$250 per month to maintain the development’s water system, but the town does not own the system.
The Sanctuary issue came up last week when Colum-bus council member Margaret Metcalf asked why the town is doing work related to water service within the Sanctuary development if the town in-stalled a master meter to allow the developers to handle their own water.
Town attorney Bailey Nager explained that the town in-stalled the master meter when it discovered that water was going into the development that wasn’t being paid for by the individual homeowners.
Sanctuary officials said they didn’t want to be in the water business for the homes, so the
town agreed to read meters at the existing homes, but any future homes built since the master meter will be the re-sponsibility of the development. The town also agreed to accept $250 per month to maintain the system for the Sanctuary, Nager said.
At one point there was talk of the Sanctuary wanting to be voluntarily annexed into Columbus, but a voluntary an-nexation requires 100 percent participation by all property owners and a petition was never brought before council.
Sanctuary developers did ask the town to take over its water system a few years ago and the town responded that in order to take over the system, the Sanctuary would need to be voluntarily annexed.
Columbus council urged Ka-nipe to continue to try to contact developers regarding the delin-quent bill and plan to discuss the issue at a future meeting.
Columbus restricts gaming businesses to I-26 corridorBan on gaming businesses has passed N.C. House, Senate by Leah Justice
The Town of Columbus approved an ordinance amend-ment last week that will restrict gaming operations to its I-26 corridor.
The town held a public hear-ing prior to the approval last Thursday. Resident Kathleen Kent asked why the town would bother approving such an ordi-nance when the gaming opera-tions are close to being banned by the state.
“I read in the paper in the last couple of days that both the House and Senate have over-whelmingly approved a ban on this,” said Kent “It would be irrelevant if it’s already been banned.”
Town officials said they are going forward with restrict-ing gaming businesses to the corridor because the state ban does not go into effect until De-cember. Town attorney Bailey Nager also said the restriction would be good for the town to keep on the books in case some other type of gaming is allowed in the future.
The I-26 corridor includes 500 feet on both sides of the I-26 intersection along Hwy. 108. Businesses currently not within the I-26 corridor who have gaming machines will be grandfathered so they can con-tinue despite the restrictions.
The town recently approved gaming machine fees for busi-nesses of a flat $3,000 fee plus $2,000 per machine. If the state bans the machines, the town will likely not have to refund the fees, officials said.

Rutherford Hospital named one of America’s 20 best community hospitals
Rutherford Hospital Inc. (RHI), which serves some residents of Polk County, as well as Rutherford County residents, has been named by Becker’s Hospital Review as one of the 20 best community hospitals in America for 2010. Community hospitals are defined as hospitals with no or limited teaching pro-grams and 325 or fewer beds. Each hospital included on the list was selected using scores in a number of publicly available indicators including patient safety, outcomes and satisfaction and by rankings on industry lists, including hospi-tal rankings by Thomson Reuters, U.S. News & World Report and HealthGrades.
Becker’s wrote the follow-ing about Rutherford Hospital: “Rutherford Hospital is a 143-bed acute-care hospital providing in-
patient, outpatient and emergency services primarily to the residents of Rutherford County, N.C. The hospital was recently named to Thomson Reuters’ list of 100 Top Hospitals and to Cleverley & As-sociates’ list of 100 top hospitals based on the value they provide to their communities. Rutherford Hos-pital also received HealthGrades’ Gastrointestinal Surgery Excel-lence Award in 2009. The hospital provides comprehensive medical services to its community members including cardiology services, car-diac and pulmonary rehabilitation, cancer care, emergency services, women’s services, neurology, nephrology, and orthopedics.”
No other hospitals in North or South Carolina were included on the list.

Clark meets legislator at 4-H citizenship focus event
Gabrielle Clark, left, poses with Rep. W. David Guice. (photo submitted)
Gabrielle Clark, a delegate for Polk County 4-H, met with Rep. W. David Guice during the legis-lative breakfast held Wednesday, June 16.
Four-H Citizenship: North Carolina Focus is a three-day conference for 4-H youth to gain first-hand insights into the legislative process at the state level. Delegates participate in workshops designed and taught by experts, including government officials, public policy special-ists, lobbyists, and judges.
More than 100 4-H youth from across the state converged in the capital city for the conference. The conference’s culmination comes on its third day, when the delegates join their legislators first for a breakfast and then at the legisla-
tive building for meetings on the issues most pressing on the minds of young people in North Carolina.
“This event sheds light on the way our government works for young people,” explained Dr. Marshall Stewart, state 4-H leader. “Young people must become en-gaged as citizens early on in their lives. This is one of the core mis-sions of 4-H: to develop citizenship and leadership in young people. These young 4-H’ers are being equipped to serve as civically re-sponsible adults who are involved in the democratic process.”

St. Luke’s holds planning sessionsHealthcare reform, county
demographics and future capi-tal needs are hot topics for St. Luke’s Hospital Board of Trustees, so the first of four meetings was held recently to begin strategic planning for the hospital’s future.
Members of the board, the medical staff, the foundation and the administrative team have begun discussions on the hospital’s direction for meet-ing the healthcare needs of the community. Professionals with Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS) of Charlotte presented the committee with a barrage of numbers, trends and forecasts, government issues and projec-tions that could affect the way St. Luke’s Hospital operates in the future.
Committee members openly discussed their vision for the
hospital as well as the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. They discussed the county’s slow growth and ag-ing population, changes in re-imbursement and the need to collaborate with other providers. The members also discussed the need to upgrade the 30-plus-year-old facility.
During the Situational As-sessment, the committee con-sidered “the perfect storm” of internal and external challenges that will affect healthcare pro-viders. With assistance from CHS, St. Luke’s leadership is taking a positive step to prepare for the impact of this storm that is brewing in healthcare.
The next step in this process is a planning session on strategic direction. The committee in-tends to meet again in August.

Cost-share grants for organic certification still available
Organic growers in North Carolina can still apply for partial reimbursement of the cost of becoming certified or recertified producers through a program offered by the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
“We still have about a third of the grant funds available, so I would encourage organic pro-ducers who have gone through the certification process to submit their application for reimbursement,” said Kevin Hardison, marketing specialist with the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Ser-vices. “The deadline to apply is September 30.”
Growers who are certified or recertified before September 30, can apply for assistance. The program will pay 75 percent of the cost of certification, up to $750.
The program is funded through a $30,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agri-culture. Funds are available on a
first-come, first-served basis.To apply, growers must
fill out an authorization form that can be found online at www.ncdaorganic.org. The completed form, a copy of the farm’s certification and a copy of the receipts from the certify-ing agency should be mailed to the NCDA&CS Division of Marketing, Attn. Kevin Hardi-son, 1020 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1020. The invoice must show the total cost of certification and the 75 percent portion that is eligible for reimbursement.
Growers with questions can call Hardison at (919) 733-7887.
“As consumer interest in certified products has grown, so has the number of organic producers statewide,” Hardison said. “North Carolina has more than 6,000 certified organic acres, and these farms produce a variety of vegetables, livestock, herbs and other products.”

Art Trek Tryon benefits community artists, businesses
“Art Trek Tryon: Foothills Open Studios” is almost here. The second annual event is Saturday, July 24, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 25, noon to 5 p.m.
Forty-one artists in Polk County and Landrum will open their stu-dios and private galleries to the public free of charge. An exhibit of each artist’s work opens at the Upstairs Artspace on Friday, July 23, with a preview party from 5 to 8 p.m. The Upstairs Artspace is the event developer and its chief sponsor.
This is a community wide hap-pening in every sense of the de-scription, organizers say. It covers a large geographical area that includes Tryon, Saluda, Columbus, Landrum, Mill Spring and Green Creek. Traveling from studio to studio, people will enjoy the beauti-ful scenery and relaxed ambience of the foothills.
The artists are enthusiastic about “Art Trek Tryon” because it exposes them to a wider audience, plus they can sell art from their studios. Says Saluda artist Bon-nie Bardos, “It’s exciting to have people view my paintings and work in progress… I love sharing what I do.” She points out that art lovers like to see the special places where artists create.
Other benefactors of “Art Trek Tryon” are area businesses such as restaurants, shops, galleries and gas stations.
“We expect ‘trekkers’ will
Folk artist B. J. Precourt in his studio in Mill Spring (Pea Ridge community)
spend time in our towns shopping, dining and get-ting to know us better,” says Margo Carter, presi-dent of the Upstairs. “The event should grow so that people from all over the Carolinas look forward to coming to the county for this particular weekend.”
In addition to support from both the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Com-merce and a Polk County Community Foundation Kirby Civic Events Grant, 28 sponsors are helping the Upstairs with the event. They are:
• Restaurants: 10 North Trade Café Bakery, The Celtic Tavern, Giardini Trattoria, The Hare and Hound, The Lake Lanier Tea House, Mr. Juan’s, Purple Onion, Saluda Grade Cafe, The Wine Cellar at the Saluda Inn, Zenzera
• Other businesses: Bank of America, Bit of Heaven, LLC Guest House, Carolina First Bank, Main Street Financial Group-Brady Insurance Group, Raymond McLees at Wells Fargo, Macon
Bank, ServPro. Watson Flooring & Appliance
“Last year’s event created such momentum and enthusiasm,” says Mary Prioleau of Tryon House. “I plan to stay open late on Friday. This is a great effort to support the arts and revitalize interest in our community.”
A brochure with map and driv-ing directions is available at the Up-stairs, the sponsors, artists’ studios and other locations. For more infor-mation go to www.upstairsartspace.com or call 828-859-2828.

Be aware of rabies and other health risks of bats indoors
During the height of summer and mosquito season, bats flying through the night sky are typi-cally a welcome sight. But when bats venture indoors, it may be a different story. While the insect-eating mammals are very impor-tant to maintaining ecosystems worldwide, they also can transmit rabies and respiratory disease to humans.
One fox rabies case has been reported so far in Polk County in 2010. In 2009 there was also one fox rabies case reported.
It is important to keep your animals up to date on rabies vaccines. There are families in Rutherford and Polk county who have received rabies treat-ment due to bat exposures this summer.
The North Carolina Division of Public Health suggests taking precautions to protect yourself and your family:
• If you awaken to find a bat in your room, tent or cabin, do not release it. Instead, contact your local animal control to have it captured and tested for rabies.
• Seek medical advice imme-diately. Bat bites can be difficult to detect and may not cause a per-son to wake from a sound sleep. If you have had any contact at all with a bat, even if you do not
mends that exclusion of bats from the entire structure (attics, crawl spaces, etc.) not be performed from May 1 through August 1 because breeding colonies may be present. Removing bats dur-ing this time may compound the risk to your health because dead pups unable to fly will remain in walls and attics and mother bats will try to create new entry points to reach them. Removal, or ex-clusion, may also be illegal if it results in the death of young bats, some of which may be federally protected under the Endangered Species Act.
To prevent bats from enter-ing your home, examine your home carefully and seal openings in doors, windows, attics and chimneys that may allow bats access to your living spaces. You may also wish to consult with a trained and licensed Wildlife Damage Control Agent for as-sistance. A county-by-county listing is available at http://www.ncwildlife.org/Nuisance_Wild-life/Nuisance_Contact_WDCA.htm.
For more information on rabies in North Carolina and links to current rabies data, visit http://www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/vet.html.

think you have been bitten, you must still talk with a physician. You may have been exposed to rabies.
• If you know you have been bitten, thoroughly wash the wound with soap and water be-fore seeing a doctor.
• Never handle a bat with your bare hands. If you need to capture it before animal control arrives, follow safety guidelines as outlined in http://www.cdc.gov/rabies/bats/contact/capture.html. A video demonstration is available at http://batcon.org/in-dex.php/bats-a-people/removing-a-bat.html.
• If bat or bird droppings have caused accumulations in an attic for example, care should be taken to avoid stirring up and breath-ing the dust. Fungal spores in the droppings may cause disease when inhaled by some people. For more information, see http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2005-109/
If you have bats roosting in an unoccupied portion of your home during the summer months, you may be advised to allow them to remain for a short time as long as the bats can be excluded from living areas.
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC) recom-
