Linder in Ferrari crash during Canadian rally raceby Samantha Hurst

If you want to know how to grab the attention of 1.7 million viewers on YouTube in three days, ask local Roland Linder.

Linder, who’s spent the last 40

years of his life racing motorcycles and exotic vehicles, attracted that level of attention two weeks ago after he and a co-driver crashed a one-of-a-kind Enzo Ferrari into the Atlantic Ocean.

“I remember as we were flying backwards thinking, ‘Oh, this is going to hurt,’” Linder said.

The crash occurred during the 10th annual Targa Newfoundland race in Newfoundland, Canada.

Linder said five days into the race, co-driver Zahir Rana drove over a bump in the road and into an unexpected patch of gravel. The

New line could connect Polk, Columbus water systems soonby Leah Justice

Polk County has offered to run a water line from Mill Spring to connect with Columbus, a move that could have far-reaching results for the county and its towns.

Polk County, Columbus, Saluda and Tryon officials met Thursday, Sept. 22

and discussed the possibility.Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre said

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson approached the town a couple of months ago with the idea, but the town wasn’t in a position to consider the option

Correction/ClarificationIn the sports article on

page 28 in the Friday, Sept. 23 Bulletin should have said “Jacob Lindsey and Pey-ton McCarter are legitimate threats to catch the ball and get yards after the catch at any moment.”

loose gravel sent the car spinning sideways past a handful of specta-tors, through a guardrail and down an embankment into the Atlantic.

Shed no tears, car lovers – the Enzo is fine, albeit slightly wet. Linder and Rana climbed out of the ocean without so much as a scratch either.

A veteran racer, Linder has experienced several wrecks in his career, including a major accident in 1986 when he broke his neck. In 2002, his car hit the wall in Topeka, Kan., which ripped his shoulders out of the socket. Four surgeries and much rehab later, he jumped right back into the racing world.

“When you race, you always take a chance; it’s unavoidable,” Linder said. “It’s part of the risk you take and you have to be con-scious that it can happen and be mentally and physically ready. It’s like when you fall off a horse, you get right back on and ride again.”

As a road racer Linder knew he

needed to know a lot more about rally racing before navigating 1,600 miles through neighborhood streets. So Linder spent two days at a rally school before the weeklong Targa event. He said the knowledge he learned there kept him and Rana

safe after the crash. Linder said the school brought

up water safety in particular, which came in handy not only in his situ-ation but for a competitor who had crashed into a pond the day prior.

“They taught us to allow some

of the water to come into the car so the pressure could dissipate. The Ferrari has doors that open upward, you know, so it took a bit of time to open the door because of the

pressure of the water,” Linder said. Linder said the car went into the

water backwards, which actually cushioned the blow. This allowed the car to sustain only minimal damage despite being quite soaked. Mechanics have, however, entirely disassembled the car to ensure no salt from the ocean corrodes internal parts.

Linder was no stranger to the Ferrari that dove into the water. Seven years ago, Linder picked it up for the owner in California, so he said there was definitely some sentimental attachment, a “love affair” with the car. The Edo Competition Enzo accelerates from 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds and can hit a top speed of 240 m.p.h.

Crashing didn’t dampen his love affair with racing either.

Having spent most of his ca-reer on motorcycles and then road racing, Linder said he’s enjoying this new phase and plans to head back to Canada for the same race

next year. He said the rally race is incredibly challenging because it takes a lot of research and home-work to know the course.

• Linder(Continued from page 3)

In his “retirement,” Linder par-ticipates in about 40 racing events a year. He also spends a large amount of time instructing others on the

nuances of racing exotic cars like the Enzo.

Linder left today on his way to another Ferrari event.

because it was in the middle of working out a development agree-ment with Foster Creek that also involved a water line.

McIntyre said the town was trying to work it out for Foster Creek to run a water line up Hwy. 108 to the development, estimated at approximately $465,000. Co-lumbus approved the development agreement, but Foster Creek is not required to install a water line until the 175th dwelling is in place, which could take several years.

“They are estimating 18 months to two years before they shuffle dirt out there,” said McIntyre. “Once the process starts, depending on the economy, it may be several years before you get that 175th dwelling.”

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said running a water line connecting Mill Spring and Co-lumbus has been discussed in this county many times.

“I’ve lost many nights’ sleep worrying about having to shut down the middle school,” said Whitson. “I think the value of a line there and back up to the schools and our new human resources facility is very, very important.”

Whitson said he thinks five to six years is too long to wait. He also said the line needs a valve so water can flow either way.

“I think it’s beneficial for Co-lumbus and the county to have that backup,” Whitson said. “The other value is it connects all the towns and the county. At a later point it would be possible for the county to sell water to Saluda.”

Whitson also mentioned how long Polk County has thought about running water lines throughout the county.

“I have a file on my desk from 1967 about putting water lines all through the county,” he said.

Polk County asked Columbus to consider the connection and to consider taking over monitoring the county’s well and sewer system located at the middle school site.

The water line would be ap-proximately two miles and would connect the middle school and high school. The tie-in would mean that

Polk County is also connected to the water systems of Columbus, Saluda and Tryon, which were connected last year through work funded by a grant.

Tryon and Columbus’ systems have been connected for years and a water line was installed last year along Howard Gap Road, which connected Saluda to Tryon.

“The beauty is if any one of us went down we’d have water,” said Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples.Benefits to Polk County

A line connecting the county’s Mill Spring water system with Columbus water would give Polk County an extra source of water to supplement the county’s current well system, which already serves the middle school, the recreation park, nearby homes and the current vacant Woodland Mills site. That extra water could be especially useful because a new building is almost complete in Mill Spring to house the Polk County Department of Social Services (DSS).

Details of prices would have to be worked out for the county using Columbus’ water or Columbus us-ing the county’s water, but Whitson said the county will sell water to Columbus for whatever Columbus will sell it for to the county.

The long-term benefit to the county is the new line would serve as a main water line along Hwy. 108, with the county able to pick up any customers interested in having county water. Whitson said he be-lieves the line would add at least two customers along Hwy. 108 for Polk.

The line could solve a problem for Midway Baptist Church as well, which has approached Columbus in the past asking for town water because of issues with lack of water there.

The county currently owns a water line through Green Creek that connects the Broad River Water Authority and Inman Cam-pobello Water District, along with extensions and customers. The county in the future plans to con-nect the Green Creek line to Mill Spring and eventually to Lake Adger, where a water plant will be constructed.

DOT budgets $674k for Polk secondary roads this yearThermal View, Wilderness, Collinsville top listby Leah Justice

The N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) is slated to spend $674,187 this year to improve Polk County’s second-ary roads.

This year’s project list includes paving Thermal View Drive (0.85 miles) in Lynn and Wilderness Drive (0.52 miles) near Tryon. The state also plans to widen, drain and pave from Collinsville Road to N.C. 9 (2.6 miles).

Other planned work includes county-wide secondary road work, such as spot stabilization, safety improvements, surveying

and signage.DOT officials met with the

Polk County Board of Com-missioners and the public on Thursday, Sept. 15 to review the project list.

DOT district engineer Steve Cannon said some of last year’s projects are still ongoing, includ-ing Landrum Road. Improve-ments to Collinsville Road have

not yet started and will be done at the same time as the N.C. 9 work this year. Work on Peniel Road should also be completed this fall, Cannon said.

There was $144,475 left in last year’s $716,095 budget for Polk County secondary road improvements. The state’s allot-

Once the county connects Mill Spring with Green Creek, Polk and the towns would be connected in a regional system that would reach from Asheville to Spartanburg, S.C.

“One big advantage is, if we get that line and one in Green Creek look at where you’re tied to,” said Polk County Commissioner Ted Owens. “We would already have our regional system put together.”

Benefits to ColumbusAlong with an additional back-

up water supply, Columbus could see financial benefits in connecting to the county’s water system.

Revenues could be made from selling water and monitoring the county’s water and sewer system in Mill Spring.

In addition, Columbus could gain financially if Foster Creek did not have to run its own main line. In the town’s development agree-ment with Foster Creek, approved

on Sept. 15, Columbus was going to allow Foster Creek to collect tap fees for the first 100 dwellings in return for running the line. If Polk runs the water line, Foster Creek will only have to connect to that line and Columbus could collect the tap fees for all of the home sites.

Another major benefit to Co-lumbus would be that the Hwy. 108 line would essentially create a loop in the town’s water system on that side of town. Currently when a break occurs, businesses, residents

and sometimes the school has to be without water in order to fix a break. With a new line, the town could shut off one line while still supply-ing water through the other line.

Columbus agreed to put discuss-ing the tie in on its next agenda, which will be Oct. 21. Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe and Whitson agreed to get together to work out some details in the meantime.

The next joint meeting is sched-uled for Dec. 6 at Columbus Town Hall at 7 p.m.

ment for Polk County this year is $529,712, which combined with last year’s leftover, gives a budget for this year of $674,187. The state projects $187 will be left over this year to be combined with next year’s state allotment.

Polk County Commissioner Renée McDermott said a couple of residents requested her to ask DOT officials if a small portion of River Road near the bridge could be paved. McDermott said the section between Morgan Chapel Bridge and Golden Road is heav-ily traveled.

McDermott’s request spurred a couple of comments against ever paving any section of River Road.

Ned Frybarger said he hopes none of River Road ever gets paved.

“That’s one of the spots we enjoy for [horseback] rides,” said Frybarger. “When Morgan Chapel Road was paved it greatly increased traffic. I would hope you would leave the section between the bridge and Golden Road as is.”

Commissioner Ted Owens

also asked about whether the DOT could place speed control signs near churches.

“We have a couple of churches on secondary roads that would love to have signs for speed control,” said Owens.

DOT Division Engineer Joel Setzer said that can be done on a case-by-case basis. He said some may not qualify for a speed reduc-tion but could qualify for a sign that may help. In order to get a speed reduction the road is first evaluated by a traffic engineer, including crash data, according to Setzer.

He encouraged commission-ers and the public to send any requests regarding state-owned roads to any DOT official via email.

DOT officials said the money reviewed last week is strictly for secondary roads. Highways and interstates such as improvements to I-26 and US 74 are funded dif-ferently and placed on the state’s Traffic Improvement Program (TIP) list.

Anticipated projects on the state’s future secondary road program include paving Dalton Road (1.25 miles) in fiscal year 2013 and paving Pea Ridge Road (3.6 miles) in fiscal year 2014.

Mill Spring Studio to offer commercial photographic equipment, facility for rent; plans grand opening soon

Tryon photographer Chris Bartol had closed his down-town studio after 25 years and was looking for some new adventures. All of his studio equipment and lighting was in storage and he wasn’t sure what he wanted to do next…. Then along came Eric and Lynn Turner of Turner HD Media.

At the end of 2010, the Turn-ers had moved their operation to the Mill Spring Ag Center and business was increasing. Before Lynn could finish her pitch to ask Bartol if he’d like to join them as director of pho-tography, he blurted out, “Yes!”

So began an adventure that would have the Turner team crisscrossing the state of North Carolina, capturing stories and making friends.

In the meantime, Bartol decided to drag all of his equip-ment out of mothballs and open a commercial studio in the Ag Center that would be available for rent to all area photogra-phers, videographers, artists and students. Mill Spring Stu-dio was born and is continuing to grow. It currently occupies approximately 600 square feet (with 12 foot ceilings) on the second floor of the Ag Center.

The studio will offer profes-sional lighting and backdrops for all applications, and will be available for rent by the hour

(with a two-hour minimum). Whether the user is experienced or requires some expert assis-tance, Bartol said the rates are affordable and the facilities are as comprehensive as you would find in a large city.

Mill Spring Studio plans to hold a grand opening in the near future.

For more information on Turner HD Media and Mill Spring Studio, visit www.turn-erhdmedia.com or call 828-395-1107 or 828-817-4960.

THE PEG SUS GROUP

Yvonne Dessoffy, physical therapy assistant at Pro Physical Therapy of Columbus, recently attended a course on advanced treatment of the foot and ankle.

The course included a clinical review of anatomy of the lower leg, foot and ankle, followed by time spent on reading X-rays and how to identify different fractures, diseases and other abnormalities of foot and ankle bones. The course reviewed techniques of manual therapy, including joint mobiliza-tion and soft tissue treatment.

Dessoffy said the class was a great experience overall and re-minded her of how disability in the foot and ankle can affect the kinetic chain all the way up to the spine.– article submitted by Tammy Warren

Hendricks to introduce gold glove for arthritis treatment

yvonne dessoffy

Dr. Jeffrey P. Hendricks of Biogenesis Medical Center in Landrum recently received of-ficial patent protection for a gold glove designed to be used in the treatment of rheumatoid and other autoimmune forms of arthritis. The glove is in patent-pending status at the U.S. patent office.

Hendricks said the glove is designed to delay and possibly to prevent the debilitating and pain-ful joint destruction that occurs in millions of arthritis sufferers each year across the country. In the medical community the benefit of gold as an anti-inflammatory treatment for rheumatoid and oth-er autoimmune arthritis has been established and used for many years, Hendricks said. Gold is given as an injection, which can be quite painful, very expensive, and imprecise, he said, but until now, there has been no available treatment using gold other than by injection.

Hendricks, working with two

companies, has worked out a method for hard plating layers of gold at different karat levels (24 karat and 14 karat) onto surgical stainless steel. After the plating was perfected the process of turn-ing stainless steel into a comfort-able, flexible, durable, attractive glove was developed using tiny stainless steel “jump rings.”

“The actual material is called chain mail,” Hendricks said. “It feels and looks like the material you see in medieval armor, shark bite suits, or butcher gloves.… It is our opinion that this will do more in the long term to protect the hands than gold rings or pharmaceuticals. It can be worn at night and during the day up to continuous wear. We suggest at least 12 hours or more based on our current and past clinical observations and feel that the more they are worn, the more beneficial they will be.”

Letter to the Editor

A child’s heartTo the Editor: I wanted to share a story that

happened to my daughter a few weeks ago. I want people to know that there are children that are giving, caring and sharing. We should all take note of this and become more like them.

I have to say (my biased opinion) that I have one of the most caring, loving and giv-ing daughters that I know of. A few months ago, Anna gave money to the Alabama relief fund through our church. She did this 100 percent on her own. Money she had started saving to buy a horse someday. Not a lot of money to some but to her, it was every dollar she had saved.

Several weeks ago, at the grocery store, a man came to up to us, asking us for gas money.

He stated that he had come to the store for moving boxes and ran out of gas.

I had only change in my purse and gave that to him. Anna said, “I have some money, mom. Gas is expensive.” She went into her purse and gave the man some money.

I was leaning into my car as she gave it to him and didn’t see how much it was. As I saw the man walk away, putting the money in his pocket, I noticed a store manager walking toward me. He was trying to stop the man.

The man who took the mon-ey walked faster, got into a car with someone waiting on him and drove away.

Needless to say, I did try to chase the car. I asked Anna how much she gave him. All that she had – $16.

I was very angry. Not for what this stranger did to me, but to a child. How could he? The

nerve of anyone taking money from a child.

I finally realized through a Laura Story song, “Blessings,” that sometimes our blessings come though bad situations. This being one of them, I took this opportunity to let Anna and my son Grant (as he felt so bad for his sister, he offered to work to earn money for her) know that she did exactly what Jesus would have done.

She looked at the man through a child’s eyes and wanted to help him without judgment of what he looked like. So proud of her!

Again, it wouldn’t be much money to some but for her, it was, again, everything she had been saving, this time for riding pants then on to a horse.

I love what I learned from my Anna, but hated to see her suffer because of a liar and a thief.

TheBird Box

by Simon Thompson

Bald cardinals with somewhat reptilian bare black heads - who ever would see such a thing? Well, welcome to the heat of mid-summer and with it the reports of bald-headed northern cardinals, blue jays and even common grackles.

Every year I get emails and phone calls describing these mu-tant-looking birds that aside from their featherless heads otherwise look exactly like the aforemen-tioned species. I must admit that the first time I saw one of these somewhat bi-zarre looking birds I thought it must have been very sick.

Most birds molt their feathers twice a year, replacing all or most of their feathers over a period of a few weeks to a month or so. This is easily seen in our summer resident scarlet tanagers. The males are brilliantly colored red with black wings and tail when they arrive in the spring. By the time late summer rolls around the males’ red feathers are slowly being replaced by green.

The birds retain this green plumage through the win-ter months on their wintering grounds, only regaining their red coloration before they begin to again move north in our spring. It is the same with indigo bun-tings.

The males lose their bright blue plumage in September and molt to a very even brown before their southbound migration. They then superficially resemble the plainer females and immature birds, but they do retain some blue feathers in their wings and tail.

As in many species, male indigos will molt back into their spring finery before they return north to breed. Even during their spring migration some of the males appear in a rather unusual combination of brown and blue feathers.

Here in the mountains of West-ern North Carolina, many of our

resident birds also molt in late summer, usually after they have finished their breeding season.

With many species, such as tufted titmice, Carolina wrens or Carolina chickadees, it’s not very noticeable, but with others the results can look very peculiar indeed and this is especially no-ticeable in cardinals and blue jays. Annual molting may indeed be part of the “baldness syndrome,” but it also may be a result of

an infestation of feather mites or lice. It seems as if immature birds undergo-ing their first molt may be just as likely as adults to un-

dergo this feather loss and we don’t really understand why they lose all of their head feathers at one time.

Staggered feather replacement is the normal molting pattern and

Molting cardinals surprise some bird enthusiasts

this is where those mites may play a part resulting in the complete loss of the bird’s head feathers. Some recent research has suggest-ed that it could even be a result of a nutritional or environmental factor but I am not so sure about this. To be honest, no one knows for sure, as the condition has not been well studied.

Fortunately for the birds, new head feathers do grow in within a few weeks and the birds look less and less reptilian, obviously

Preparing a successful need statement for grant proposal

when writing the need state-ment is to make sure it is easily digestible for the funder. I rec-ommend using the KISS (Keep It Short and Simple) principle.

The main point to avoid in writing the need statement is circular reasoning. Most funders would agree that this is the most common mistake with all the grant proposals. An example of circular reason-ing would be “The problem is we have no domestic violence shelter, therefore building one would solve the issue/problem.” I think you see what I mean.

Additional tips to help you write the need statement are as follows. Make sure you include statistics that support

In the last article we shared steps for developing the execu-tive summary. In this article we will continue to talk about the steps for writing a successful grant, but focusing on the first step of the proposal – the need statement.

Since the need statement is the first part of the proposal it sets the theme and tone for the entire grant proposal letting the funder know exactly why it is important to fund your program.

Let’s start by talking about what is in a need statement. First and foremost you want to ensure the need statement is directly related to your organi-zation’s mission. In other words why does your organization exist?

Second, the need statement should always focus on the people or constituents you serve instead of your organization’s needs. The need statement also should be well supported through statistics, expert studies and/or expert opinions.

Make sure when quoting expert views, opinions and statistics you always use cita-tions and give the proper credit. Ensure that the need statement is directly related to your orga-nization’s ability to respond to the need.

Another item to remember

your request. Another common mistake

in most grant proposals is that the statistics do not support the request of the nonprofit; they contradict the proposal. When using the statistics make sure and use an example of a nonprofit that accomplished what you are requesting from the funder. Keep in mind that nine times out of 10 your grant proposal is not a new idea and it probably has been already accomplished.

Remember when we first started this series; I quoted the new nonprofit statistics - with 1.6 million nonprofits in Ameri-ca and that for every cause there are over 1,000 nonprofits, it has probably already been success-fully accomplished somewhere in the United States.

We now know that the use of stories are becoming very popular in the nonprofit sector,

so do make sure you use stories in the need statement but make sure that you anchor them in hard facts and statistics to sup-port the need statement.

Last but not least, provide a sense of urgency for your request and make sure you convey to the funder why it is so important now for the funding.

The next article will con-tinue the steps for writing the grant, focusing on the second step of the proposal – goals and objectives

Schweizer appointed musical director for Community Chorus Christmas concert

The Community Chorus board of directors announces the appointment of Dr. Mark Schweizer as musical director for the chorus’ annual Christmas concert. Also, continuing to pro-vide the piano accompaniment will be Pam McNeil. Numerous special musical guests will also be featured.

This year’s concert will be held on Sun-day, Dec. 11 at 3 p.m. at the Polk County High School auditorium.

Schweizer lives and works in Tryon as a mystery book writer, a music composer and the owner/operator of St. James Music Press. His music educa-tion includes undergraduate and graduate degrees from Stetson University and the University of Arizona.

Schweizer received high accolades for his direction of the full house “Do-It Yourself Messiah” for volunteer vocalists at the Fine Arts Center in 2011,

with Beth Child accompanying and Converse College providing the soloists.

Schweizer and his wife, Do-nis, an accomplished violinist, have both participated in chorus concerts previously.

“The chorus board and many of the regular singers who know

Schweizer are thrilled to have him provide the leadership and creativity that will bring a most excit-ing and enjoy-able Christmas concert to our community,” sa id chorus president, Art

Brown. Asked for a sneak preview of

what might happen at the con-cert, Schweizer said, “No com-ment. It’s strictly under wraps.”

“This matches up with Mark’s persona,” said Brown, reflecting on Schweizer’s mys-tery writer side. The fact that a number of Schweizer’s musical contributions will be included in the Christmas concert will
