• Tryon ABC(Continued From page 1)

Tryon’s store either shut down or consolidate with the Town of Columbus’ store.

Tryon has not yet spoken with Columbus regarding a po-tential consoli-dation, Martin said. Tryon’s A B C b o a r d , meanwhile, has someone cur-rently conduct-ing its own audit of the store.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said the $3,000 shortage in inventory was mostly in mini bottles of liquor.

“We had a group from Raleigh in here investigating for the third time,” Peoples said. “We were working on that, folks, and had to find out what’s going on.”

Commissioner George Baker said he’s looked at the state re-port and said the missing inven-tory could have been going on

for years.“I don’t want people to think

we had a bunch of thieves run-ning the ABC store,” Baker said. “I don’t think that was the case.”

The main issue with the ABC store seems to be a lack of revenue. Town officials said the last time the ABC store pro-duced revenue for the town was in 2007.

Commissioners said they don’t want to see the store close. Commissioner Wim Woody said if the economy improves and Tryon gets a couple of new restaurants, the ABC store could be profitable.

The ABC store has been closed since Sept. 7 after the state and town closed its doors pending an audit and inventory.

Last year, Tryon officials ex-

During a Polk County Superior Court Administrative Session held Oct. 10, Judge Mark E. Powell sentenced Billy Ray Praytor of 525 Hwy. 9 North, Mill Spring to 58 to 82 months for felony larceny and habitual felon and 66 to 91 months in prison, with 238 days credit, for possession of a firearm by a felon

Praytor was also sentenced to pay $1,500 in restitution during superior court.

Judge Athena Brooks, during a district court session held on Oct. 10, sentenced Praytor to 120 days for misdemeanor breaking and or entering. He will serve this sentence consecutive to other sen-tences, according to court records.

Other charges including resist-ing public officer, felony breaking and or entering, misdemeanor larceny, felony possession of stolen goods/property and felony larceny of a motor vehicle were dismissed during court last week as part of the plea.

Sometime during the night of Jan. 23 along Silver Creek Road, three out buildings were broken into. One of those buildings be-longed to William Arledge where more than $500,000 in cash was taken from a safe. Arledge’s truck was also stolen, which was found on the Polk/Rutherford County line the next morning.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Of-fice arrested Praytor in Rutherford County on Feb. 17, along with several other suspects accused of aiding Praytor after the break-ins.

Praytor was 27 at the time of his arrest.

pressed concern over the store’s future due to lack of revenue. Town representatives have said the relocation of the store from downtown to South Trade Street and several restaurants closing down caused the store’s business to decline.

Tryon has run an ABC store since 1951 and at the time was

• Tryon ABC(Continued From page 4)

the only one in Polk County, which is a dry county.

Peoples said in the 1980s the ABC store brought in more than $200,000 a year in revenue but after Columbus opened an ABC store and South Carolina ABC stores opened, Tryon’s revenue began declining.

Tryon’s ABC board has a meeting scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 25 at 5:15 p.m. at the town hall meeting room.

A glance at some of the latest news in the area.

Polk cancels Nov. 5 meetingThe Polk County Board of Commissioners cancelled its Nov. 5 meeting to give candidates time to campaign for the election on Nov. 6. Commissioners met on Oct. 15 with commissioners Ted Owens, Ray Gasperson and Cindy Walker making the decision. The meeting will not be rescheduled. The next meeting will be held on Nov. 19.

Tryon annexes Vaughn’s Creek greenway property

Tryon Town Council on Oct. 16 approved the voluntary annexation of a portion of the Vaughn’s Creek greenway not located within city limits. Council held a public hear-ing with no comments. The annexation is contiguous and includes a back section of the property near the railroad trussels.

Tryon to amend personnel policy for garbage

Tryon Town Council agreed on Oct. 16 to add language to its personnel policy to prevent employees from bringing personal garbage to town dumpsters. Council also discussed an issue of former employees bringing personal garbage for the town to dispose.

Tryon in need of planning and adjustment board members

The Town of Tryon is in need of volunteers to its plan-ning and zoning board. One vacancy is for a town resident and another is for an ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction) resident. The board will also face a third vacancy in December. Tryon Town Council met Oct. 16 and asked residents for help serving on the board as the board has not been able to make any decisions in months due to not having a quorum.

UDO referendum isn’t inconceivableTo the editor:

On Sept. 17 a meeting was held at Polk County High School for the purpose of public comments on the UDO (Unified Development Ordi-nance).

During this meeting the idea of a referendum on the UDO was raised by some of the citi-zens that spoke.

After the public comment section of the meeting, com-missioner Renée McDermott addressed the issue of a refer-endum on the UDO.

Commissioner McDermott said that while certain issues were permitted in North Caro-

lina, the UDO would not be eligible for a referendum.

The fact that the state con-stitution limits referendum items is true.

The idea that the county cannot have a referendum on the UDO is not true. The state allows referendums on items other than listed in its consti-tution.

Our county commissioners would need to vote on and send a resolution to our state senator or state representative with a request for a special referendum.

Such a request is considered a Local Act (less than 15 coun-ties) and after presented by our local senator or representative is usually rubberstamped by the state legislature.

– Jeff Bradley, Saluda

Make the right choiceTo the editor:

The President cannot raise or lower taxes, eliminate tax deduc-tions or pass health care laws. Only Congress can do this.

In 2008, we had a Democrat House and Senate. The President forced through Congress a health

care law the majority of citizens opposed. Tea Parties were formed to oppose the direction our gov-ernment was headed.

In 2010, we elected a Repub-lican majority in the House. The President could no longer force his legislation through Congress. He started using executive orders to circumvent Congress. This is not the way our founding fathers intended our government to be run.

We have a presidential can-didate with firm family values. He is a successful businessman. When the Olympic committee was losing money, he took over and made it profitable. He was governor of Massachusetts when it had a Democrat legislature. He was able to work with them to get a health care law passed that the people were happy with.

Terrorism continues to be a problem. We continue to have

high unemployment. If you are unemployed and can find a job it is probably pays less than the one you lost. Our economy is in the doldrums. The national debt is soaring and China is our financier. Our standard of living is sinking. Health care costs more than it did before the new law was passed.

On Nov. 6, we have a chance to replace a failed administration. Let us not make a mistake!

Letter to the Editor

Renovate Tryon TheaterTo the editor:

I am a newcomer to Tryon (15 months) and love it here.

The reason for my note to

the Bulletin is my concern for the community’s small movie theater.

I enjoy being able to go to the movie theater and know that I am benefiting a local busi-ness. I am however concerned about the deterioration of the premises.

I'd like to see a community fund set up to help renovate the building.

I know everyone would sup-port this project as it is "our theater" collectively.

I know the community prizes it and would gladly pitch in to assure its presence for years

to come. I would be willing to donate

money and help with a fund drive in any way I can.

I'm sure with the help of The Tryon Daily Bulletin this effort could be multiplied. We'd give a lasting gift to our community.

October is National Depression Awareness Month

DEPRESSION – Everyone feels “blue”, “down in the dumps”, “blah”, or “bummed” occasionally. These situations are often accompanied by feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. For most people, these feelings go away quickly. However, if these feelings do not get better or go away then a Depressive Illness may be present and medical and/or psychological treatment is needed.

DEPRESSION CHECKLIST

The following checklist will help you assess and document your feelings and behavior or those of someone you know. This information will provide your physician or therapist with a fairly good picture of your emotional state or that of someone you know.

Signs of Possible Depression Check all that apply. Be as objective and thorough as possible.

Use additional paper to share your observations or give examples of the behaviors.

Do you or someone you know express the following FEELINGS? Sadness Hopelessness Emptiness Worthlessness Guilt Not enjoying everyday pleasures

Do you or someone you know have difficulty THINKING?

Concentrating Making decisions Completing work assignments Do you or someone you know complain of PHYSICAL PROBLEMS?

Headaches Stomachaches Joint or backaches Lack of energy Sleeping problems Weight or appetite changes (gain or loss)

Do you or someone you know have BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS?

Restless Not wanting to go to school or work Cutting work or skipping school Irritable Drinking or using drugs Having difficulty getting along with others Wanting to be alone most of the time Dropping out of sports, hobbies or activities

Do you or someone you know talk or think about SUICIDE?

Suicide Ideation Thoughts of Death Other morbid subjects Depression affects one in ten people. Some of the causes of depression are major life changes, the death of a loved one, substance abuse, serious illness, medications, conflicts, being bullied, feeling overwhelmed and genetic factors. Often an individual may think they can work through it or tough it out, but there are better ways to overcome depression. Having a regular exercise routine, eating healthful food, reducing stress, seeing a therapist and taking medication for depression are all ways to overcome a depressive illness. Depression is a medical illness, not a weakness. If you or someone you know scores high on the checklist above, please see a medical or mental health profession as soon as possible. There are many fine professionals in our community ready to help.

This information has been provided to you by the Polk County Mental Health Advisory Board.

Comfort and care you can trust with every visit. When her routine mammogram revealed an abnormality and she had to undergo a diagnostic mammogram, Priscilla McBrayer was anxious for results. She felt relief when a personal phone call came from Sharon Elliott, director of The Mammography Place, to tell her everything was normal.

“The enormity of their compassion is unbelievable,” Priscilla says. “It’s like they’ve been in your shoes.”

The professional and confident care given by the staff at The Mammography Place is why Priscilla has chosen to get her mammograms there every year. “They know about you and ask about what’s going on in your life. I’ve always told anyone that this is a great place to have your mammogram done.” The Mammography Place and its technologists are fully accredited and certified by the American College of Radiology to provide the highest quality screening mammography services to the women of Rutherford County and the surrounding area.

“The enormity of their compassion is unbelievable. It’s like they’ve been in your shoes.”

Credit where credit is dueTo the editor:

I am writing this letter because of an experience recently at the Columbus Farm Festival.

George Alley was standing at the Polk County Republican Party booth chatting with both passers-by and members working at the booth. As a Republican, this scene really struck me because I know

that George Alley is the Demo-cratic candidate for N.C. House District 113.

In these very partisan times, it feels as though no one is willing to step away from his or her party and try to find common ground across the aisle. Mr. Alley literally walked across the street, passing over that yellow line separating the two booths, and went straight up to the Republicans working the booth to say hello. Such a gesture reminds me that even though we may be members of different politi-cal parties, we are still community members, neighbors, relatives and friends.

Before we attack each other over our differences, let’s take a lesson from George and remember we have commonalities as well.

For the sake of our commu-nity, kids and families, let’s try to resolve our differences through reason and debate.

George Alley deserves to be recognized for his willingness to reach across party lines and put the people of Polk, Henderson and Transylvania Counties first.

Please consider your vote for George Alley, N.C. House District 113!

- Chris Amato, Tryon


McDermott’s credentials speak for themselvesTo the editor:

It probably goes without saying that one of the best things for Polk County is to have capable and ex-perienced commissioners serving on our board.

In this regard, we can count ourselves extremely fortunate to have Renée McDermott whose professional and volunteer back-ground is a sure fit for our needs. As a public school teacher, she was a member of the Teacher Corps/Peace Corps volunteering in Tampa’s inner city. She received an award for her teaching excellence when she taught at the middle and high school levels.

As an attorney, she graduated magna cum laude from law school and then specialized in environ-mental law. She was president of the Indiana Bar Foundation in addition to serving as a county at-torney and as a mediator.

Because of her demonstrated dedication to public service here in Polk County in such organizations as Outreach Ministry, the Polk County Community Foundation Board and Pacolet Area Conser-vancy - to name a few - she has received the North Carolina Out-standing Volunteer Award.

Obviously, all of these experi-ences make her extremely valuable to Polk County. The skills she brings to our board of commis-sioners could earn high consulting fees, but we can have them all by simply casting our ballot for Renée McDermott’s reelection.

- Chuck Trevathan, Columbus

Polk versus Owen…almost enough said.

This late season game is always a major factor in the WHC Conference Champion-ship.

But this year may be as big as any in the last few years. This game is crucial on sev-eral levels for the Wolverines; conference championship and playoff implications, main-taining their unbeaten streak at home this year and Senior Night.

The Wolverines never over-look Owen. Over the last few years Polk (7-2, 4-1 confer-ence) versus Owen (4-5, 3-2 conference) has produced con-sistent nail bitters.

Coach Bruce Ollis men-tioned the importance of the game as he spoke about the Friday night match.

“I can’t remember a game that did not go down to the wire or wasn’t close late in the fourth quarter,” he said. “They are a hard-nosed physical football team just like always, well coached; I expect a tough Polk Seniors Football Players; Todd Yoder No. 55, Daniel Cox No. 28, Coleman Bradley No. 33, Floyd Graber No.

68, Lucas Williams No. 5 and Alec Philpott No. 9 will be honored tonight at 7 p.m. with senior cheerleaders and band members. (photos by Fulton Hampton)

Owen visits Polk for huge senior night matchup

by Samantha Hurst

The Landrum football team looks to grab a win on the road tonight as they face off against region foe Crescent High School in Iva, S.C.

Cardinal faithfuls need the

win after two weeks of mor-al-lowering shutouts against Chesnee (17-0) and Blacksburg (35-0).

Pulling out a win won’t be easy however as Crescent cur-rently has seven wins and only

two losses under its belt. The Ti-gers hung tough against Blacks-burg back in September, narrowly losing 48-42.

Coach Russell Mahaffey said the Cardinals played “sloppy” in its game against Blacksburg last

week meaning they would need to make corrections on both of-fense and defense to win tonight.

LHS’ record stands at 3-5 overall on the season and 3-2 in Region 1-2A play. Tonight’s game starts at 7:30 p.m.

physical football game. They are more ground based (of-fense), they have always been an off tackle team; always have hard-nosed fullbacks and tailbacks. But have a vertical passing game… they try to hit the home run a lot (when they throw).”

Seniors Todd Yoder No. 55, Daniel Cox No. 28, Coleman Bradley No. 33, Floyd Graber No. 68, Lucas Williams No. 5 and Alec Philpott No. 9 will be honored tonight at 7 p.m. “All (of them) have been a part of a lot of victories here and we are certainly very proud of them.

This is the last home game we can promise our seniors, we would certainly like to see them go out winners at home. The best sendoff we can give them is a win,” Ollis said.

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

Ups, downs, highs and lowsIt is the Tuesday after my Bark

in the Park fundraiser, an event that is growing larger and more fun each year.

Elaine and I are sharing birth-days this week, cards, letters, packages and phone calls are pouring in. Michelle, our young-est, sent me a yard ornament of an angel holding a kitten in its arms, I am touched and I call her and tell her so.

Earlier in the day Dr. Raines and I visited the Upstate clinic, I with Lazarus and Donna with her Ruby. X-rays show Lazarus has healed perfectly and her Ruby’s knees are on the mend. Lazarus receives his final shots and tags and I deliver him back in the loving and caring arms of Joe.

On Wednesday I have an open-ing in my schedule and I go visit Rex, the emaciated Boxer from the shelter in his new home. He has topped 45 pounds and is thriv-ing but he still has at least 15 or 20 to go. He is playful and I receive the dance of joy along with many kisses. He and Clementine, their Beagle, get along like they were litter mates and I leave his new home thoroughly pleased.

I arrive home and there’s a package from my Kimberly in

Afghanistan. I open it and there’s a beautiful coalition shirt along with a pin and a bumper sticker acknowledging me as a blue star dad. I also receive a $100 check for Lennie’s Kids.

As tears roll down my cheeks, I pray that I’ll never become a gold star dad.

The phone rings and I learn that an 80-year-old woman has

found an old tiny Yorkie mix that is in pretty bad shape. The shelter is closed and the sweet folks who now

have her ask if I can help. I tell them to get her down to Landrum vet. An hour later I receive the call and I rush over to the vets. They’ve named her Lucy and she has been neglected for a very long time.

She is 4 ½ pounds and her breed is actually undetermined but cute as all get out and very loving. She had a heart murmur, badly rotted teeth with one tooth elongated, an extended belly and all her bones could be felt. The whole staff was smitten by her, especially sweet Kim, who told me she’s eaten a little but is having trouble. I wrote a check for $500


roscoe


and begged Donna to do what she can to save her. Donna nodded and promised to do so and once again had the whole staff in tears. I gave Lucy a kiss, sent up some prayers and left her in the best hands I could.

Earlier that evening I received a call from Nancy and her daugh-ter Raven, who had Roscoe, my little black Pom. They were returning him to Landrum vet because they couldn’t control his urinating. They loved him dearly but because they are renting and had to leave him alone during work and school hours, the prob-lem was too much to overcome. I called Josh and Astrid at Dog-wood Farms and they agreed to board him for me.

Donna called soon after and had estimated Lucy’s age at be-tween 12 and 14 years.

“It’s a miracle she held on this long,” Donna said and then ex-

plained that all that they’ve found with blood tests and x-rays.

“I believe in miracles, Donna, what are her chances?”

“We’ll be operating first thing in the morning to remove her uterus and remove some of her bad teeth. She’s doing fine right now and all the staff have adopted her, especially Kim, who spends every spare moment with her.”

“Thanks, Donna, I’ll check in tomorrow after work and be sure to thank the staff for me.”

On Thursday after my shift I rushed to Landrum to see how Lucy did. I learned that the opera-tion went well but Lucy was down to 3 pounds after all the infected area was removed.

“Kim is with her now,” Donna said. “Of course,” I said smiling and I left hopeful and optimistic.

Roscoe had been brought back and I told them I’d be taking him to Dogwood Farms on Saturday. After a few more stops I went home and started making calls. I was delighted to see how many

people were willing to help get Lucy into a forever home to live out her life, especially Lori Jewell at Pet Tender Angels. I then wrote a letter to an extended family who all pitched in and donated $500 to Lennie’s Kids; I let them know their money went toward Lucy.

Friday after work I again rushed over to visit Lucy and learned she was eating well and the staff once again told me how much they loved her.

“I love you guys,” I said. “We love you too Lennie.”

I went to the recovery area and held the darling little soul in my arms as Kim took photos for me.

On Saturday I went to pick up Roscoe to bring to Dogwood Farms; he is now there and hav-ing a ball with all the other dogs. I’m hoping the right family will adopt him from there, meanwhile Josh is working on his problem. When I went in to fetch Roscoe, Kim tearfully came up to me and informed me that Lucy passed away during the night. Everyone

agreed that her heart just gave out. Kim was inconsolable and I told her that Lucy died with more love and caring than she had received in a long time.

“God only lends them to us sweetheart, we did what we could but I guess He wanted her back.”

Thanks for sharing my highs and lows and as always:

Thanks for listening.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Many people who are try-ing to lose weight will tell you one of their biggest pitfalls is overeating.

What many don’t know is that there are actually environmental cues that cause most people to do this. These cues usually cause over eating whether one is hun-gry or not.

Let’s go over some possible causes of overeating, and some solutions to this problem.

1) Convenience and avail-ability. Keeping snacks in plain sight is the best way to make sure you’ll eat more. An experiment was done in a hospital cafeteria, where the lid was kept on an ice-cream cooler. Only 3 percent of obese par-ticipants and 5 percent of normal-weight ones chose ice-cream. Converse-ly, when the lid was removed to allow participants to see the ice cream, 17 percent of obese people and 16 percent of normal-weight people selected it.

Remedy: Hide tempting, un-healthy snacks, and keep healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables handy and at arm’s length.

2) “Economy-sized” Every-thing. Larger container sizes tend to make people over eat because it’s harder for them to monitor the amount of food eaten.

Remedy: Buy smaller pack-ages. If you buy larger containers to save money, repackage the product into smaller ones.

3) Too many choices. On the one hand eating a wide variety of foods is beneficial, because it allows you to get all the nutrients needed for optimal health. On the other hand, this can cause you to over eat. The reason is we tend to get bored with familiar tastes. This keeps us from over eating, but with a variety of tastes, we tend to keep eating even when our hunger is satisfied.

Remedy: Go ahead and eat a wide variety of foods…just make

sure those foods are healthy ones, like vegetables, fruits, beans, low-fat yogurt and oat-meal.

4) Optical illusions. Most people perceive tall slender glasses as holding more than short fat ones of the same size. In one study, people drank 20 percent more when beverages were served to them in shorter glasses when compared to tall slender ones.

Remedy: When drinking high calorie beverages, choose tall slender glasses. You’ll actu-ally drink less than you thought you did.

5) Out-of-control portions. It’s just a fact. We eat more when served more. In one study, restau-r a n t s w e r e

given different sized portions of baked ziti to serve. When patrons were served an additional 52 percent, they ate an additional 42 percent. Portion sizes can even overcome tastes.

Remedy: If you really want to load up on your portions, fine. Just make sure you’re loading up on foods like salads, broth based soups, high fiber-foods and fruits.

David Crocker of Landrum has been a nutritionist and mas-ter personal trainer for 26 years. He served as strength director of the Spartanburg Y.M.C.A., head strength coach for the USC- Spartanburg baseball team, S.C. state champion girls gymnastic team, and the Converse college equestrian team.

He has also been a water safe-ty consultant to the United States Marine Corps, lead trainer to L.H. Fields modeling agency and a teacher for four semesters at USC-Union. David was also a regular guest of the Pam Stone radio show.

Watch cues that cause overeating


When Wells Fargo Advisors’ Mike Ashworth signed up as the presenting sponsor of the Tryon Half Marathon, he also committed himself to running the 13.1-mile race.

This event is not only a first for Tryon, but a big first for Ash-worth, who has always wanted to take on this race distance.

The inaugural Tryon Half Marathon will be held at Harmon Field Nov. 17.

Proceeds for the race, hosted by the Tryon Running Club, will benefit Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry.

Ashworth has been running for five years as a way to get in shape. When the opportunity came about to be a part of a char-ity endurance race in his own “backyard,” Ashworth had no choice but to take on this running challenge.

To help Ashworth achieve his

goal, he signed on with Triath-lete Coach Katie Malone. Both Ashworth and Malone are mem-bers of the Tryon Running Club.

“Having meaning behind a race like this is as important to me as the personal challenge,” explains Ashworth. “You can get through those long miles if you know it’s for a great cause.”

For more information about the race, contact race director Scarlette Tapp at 864-680-1770.

The Tryon Running Club is a 501(c) 3 chapter of the Road Runners Clubs of America and welcomes walkers and runners of all ages and abilities.

To learn more, visit www.try-onrunningclub.com or find the group on Facebook. Call TRC President Laura Phelps at 828-817-1833 for more information.

Saluda News &

Notationsby Bonnie Bardos

“The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.”

– Thich Nhat Hanh

There are days indeed when the mind goes in a thousand directions, but fall colors and scents, accompanied by soft breezes over hills and cornstalk fields rustle a feeling of peace.

In low spots, morning glories still twine remembering sum-mer glory, fall asters sparkle in lavender and white, fall mums bend in the gar-den laden with morning dew. In-side the house, River the rescue puppy has grown a bit more: not much size-wise, but certainly in confidence.

At this point, my one-eyed wrinkled pup has decided that I’m not returning him to the shelter, nor to the rescue folks for a refund. In other words, he is home.

River knows he has a place, right here: two beds, toys, good food, love. This means that a certain furry rascal has felt secure in showing his true colors lately, despite his innocent face, even when caught in the act. Or maybe I should say his secret shoe fetish is now public. Yes, my boy has a thing for my shoes. He’s been outed.

Despite the fact that River has more Nylabones and chew toys than I can count as I trip over them, he thinks that my shoes are the most delicious chew toys ever. The death count among the shoe population has risen month by month.

L.L. Bean sheepskin slippers: no match for vicious Shar-Pei fangs. Birkenstock sandals: tough German shoes defeated in the line of duty. Land’s End slippers: dead on arrival. Easy Spirit walk-ing shoes: walked to the trash heap in shreds. Two pair of Teva

sandals: didn’t stand a chance. Now, I will admit to finally

picking up my shoes and actually putting them away (for once!). It’s hard to place blame when the truth is it’s mostly my own fault for leaving them around: easy victims.

Somewhere around here, I’ve got bitter-apple spray for dissuad-ing the perpetrator — left over from Pooh’s teething stages; I just need to find it. Meanwhile, the shoes that are left are in hid-ing. I hear they’re quaking in their boots!

Savvy Senior

Dear Savvy Senior,Is it important to compare

Medicare Part D prescription drug plans every year? My phar-macist recommends it, but it’s such a hassle sorting through all those different plans. What can you tell me?

Confused Beneficiary

Dear Confused,Because all Medicare Part

D prescription drug plans can change their costs and coverage each calendar year, comparing plans every year during the open enrollment period (which is Oct. 15 – Dec. 7) is still the best way to ensure you don’t miss out on your best deal for 2013, especially if you take a lot of medications.

Here are a few tips and re-sources that can help you com-pare plans with the least amount of hassle.

Online toolIf you’re comfortable us-

ing a computer, you can easily compare Medicare’s drug plans yourself online.

Just go to Medicare’s Plan Finder Tool at www.medicare.gov/find-a-plan, and type in your zip code or your personal infor-mation, the drugs you take and their dosages, and select the phar-macies you use and you’ll get a cost comparison breakdown for each plan available in your area.

This tool also provides a five-star rating system that evaluates each plan based on past customer service records, and suggests ge-nerics or older brand name drugs that can reduce your costs.

It’s also important to keep in mind that when you’re compar-ing drug plans don’t judge a plan strictly by its monthly premium cost.

Low-premium plans are often associated with higher prescrip-

tion co-payments and may end up being more expensive. Look at the “estimated annual drug costs” that shows how much you can expect to pay over a year in total out-of-pocket costs – in-cluding premiums, deductibles and co-pays.

Also, be sure the plan you’re considering covers all of the drugs you take with no restric-tions.

Some plans may require you to get permission or try a num-

ber of cheaper drugs before they will cover certain prescrip-

tions.

Get helpIf you need some help with

this or if you don’t have Internet access to compare the plans yourself, ask your kids, grand-kids or a trusted computer-savvy friend to help you, or you can call Medicare at 800-633-4227 and a customer service representative will do it for you over the phone for free.

Another resource that you can call on for help is your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which pro-vides free one-on-one Medicare counseling in person or over the phone.

They also conduct seminars during the open enrollment pe-riod at various locations through-out each state.

To find the contact informa-tion for your local SHIP visit shiptalk.org, or call the eldercare locator at 800-677-1116.

Smaller donut holeYou also need to know that

Medicare’s “donut-hole” cover-age gap will shrink a little more next year. In 2013, Medicare Part D beneficiaries that hit the coverage gap will receive a 52.5

percent discounts on brand-name drugs, and a 21 percent discount on generic medications.

For 2013, the coverage gap begins when your total drug cost exceeds $2,970 (that includes your share and the insurer’s share of the costs) and ends when com-

bined spending is $6,733. After that, your Part D plan usually covers around 95 percent of your remaining drug costs for the year.

Low income assistanceAlso, be aware that if you’re a

low-income beneficiary and your annual income is under $16,755 or $22,695 for married couples

living together, and your assets are below $13,070 or $26,120 for married couples, you may be eligible for the federal Low Income Subsidy known as “Extra Help” that pays Part D premiums, deductibles and copayments.

The paper is seeking 14 photos for the 2013 glossy calendar, which is produced by the newspaper and spon-sored by area businesses . T h e g r a n d prizewinner of the contest will r ece ive $250 cash and have his or her photo featured on the cover of the calendar.

one person can submit and though the scenery of our area is certainly beautiful, we prefer photos that show faces. People in each submission should be identified by their name and hometown.

Hint – send horizontal pic-tures. As the calendar is for-matted horizontally a picture may be considered over others simply because it fits better. Because it’s a calendar, photos on inside pages often end up with a “theme.” Be sure to send in plenty of holiday shots because they end up having a better chance of making

Cowan for District Court Judge

I’m writing you to ask that as you head out to vote in the coming weeks, you consider voting for Emily Cowan for District Court Judge, District 29B. Emily is running for an open seat, previously held by Judge Fox.

Emily understands the court system and the role it plays in the lives of so many families in our region.

She worked for six years as an assistant district attorney in Henderson, Polk and Tran-sylvania Counties, and upon going into private practice, took up the charge to advocate on behalf of those who can’t do so for themselves.

For the past three years E m i l y h a s w o r k e d a s a Guardian ad Litem attorney (chi ld advocate) for Polk and Transylvania counties. Emily knows and understands the role of law enforcement.

She completed federal level basic law enforcement training prior to becoming a prosecutor and is an instructor at Blue Ridge Community College, where she teaches the basic law enforcement class, helping to prepare many of our law en-forcement for their work ahead.

As a mom of three, a volun-teer on the Mainstay Board, an accomplished prosecutor, and an advocate for victims who find themselves in our legal system, I see no better choice for this seat than Emily Cowan. Please vote for Emily Cowan for District Court Judge.

ì Iím Just SayingÖ î

by Pam Stone

The belief that one should make an effort to leave a com-munity better than the way one found it is a reason I enjoy doing benefits.

Generally, these are stand-up performances for everything from Habitat to Humanity to Red Cross, Mobil Meals to wom-en’s shelters and, recently, for a change, I’ve been delighted to of-fer book signings, donating back a substantial portion of sales. All of these things are enjoyable, fund great causes, and I look forward to them.

Until my friend, PJ, called.“Pam, Kelley and I are putting

on a benefit fashion show at the Piedmont Club in Spartanburg next week and were wondering if you would consider being involved.”

“Well, sure, I love you guys.” I replied, making a vain attempt to multitask and finish an email

as we chatted. “Do you need me to emcee?”

“Not this time,” PJ (or ‘Peej,’ as Kelley calls her) said. “Nancy Welch is going to help us with that. We’d like you to model.”

My fingers skidded to a stop on the keyboard.

“Model?” m y p a l m s were already g r o w i n g clammy. “You don’t want me to model. Let me be a ‘special guest,’ or something. Let me introduce Nancy!”

“With your height, you’ll be perfect.” PJ countered. “Plus, you’re so slim!”

“It takes more than being tall and skinny to be a model,” I pro-tested. “Otherwise, Lurch would be on the cover of Vogue.”

But they were having none of

it. Doubtfully, I arrived at their shop the following morning to play Cinderella as Kelley brought me armfuls of outfits to wriggle into- the first being a clingy, bright red number.

“It’s perfect!” she cried, hands clasped together.

“I look like a thermometer.” I muttered, ap-praising myself i n t h e b o d y -length mirror, still in my Dollar Store flipflops.

“Don’t be ri-diculous,” Kelley

retorted. “It looks great, but I love the black suit, too. And the teal dress. Do you have any black, strappy, sandals to wear with it?”

“Sure,” I chirped. “I gener-ally put them on when I go into the barn to clean stalls and feed in the morning. No, I don’t have any girly shoes at all. But if Muck Boot comes out with a pump, I’ll be the first in line to buy it.”

A decision of three outfits

were made and I drove back home, looking despairingly at my mime-white legs and wondering how I would even-out my ‘rider’s tan.’ My arms, despite lashings of sunblock, are as brown as beans, ending abruptly mid-wrist where riding gloves cover my hands. Wearing breeches and boots all summer, my legs should prob-ably be checked for a vitamin D deficiency - they rarely see the sun. I had two days to sit just inside the shade of the barn in the early afternoon, sticking my legs out into the direct sun, turn-ing my position slowly over, like a chicken on a spit, trying to rid them of the white glare that was capable of burning ants on the pavement.

“Why not try those self-tan-ning lotions?” Paul suggested, walking past on the way to the tool shed.

“And look like John Boehner?” I cried, angling a sheet of alumi-

num foil at my calves.I have never been in such a

blind panic about an appearance. Even standing backstage, years ago, at the Tonight Show, or

Oprah, I was usually munching on something from the catering table, confident in my material to be able to deliver with ease when the curtains parted and I hit the stage...but now I was to do some-thing I was clearly unprepared to do: the runway walk, teetering on

skinny heels and not tripping over my bunion-adorned sized 10s! I haven’t slept for days...

By the time this goes to press, the fashion show will be a distant memory and I pray I won’t have ended in ER with a snapped ankle. I also pray that I won’t

be cringing from humiliating memories and, particularly, a viral Youtube showing a splat-tering fall.

Because, after all, it’s only while doing stand-up that you want everyone in a room laugh-ing at you...

God’s Hotel – A Doctor, a hospital, and a pilgrimage to the heart of medicine

by Victoria Sweet, Riverhead Books, New York,

2012 Dr. Victoria Sweet has spent

her working life in pursuit of the best possible healing methods for her patients at the Laguna Honda Hospital in San Fran-cisco.

This hospital was modeled on the European almshouse, or Hotel-Dieu (God’s Hotel), to provide care almost exclusively to impoverished patients, for which it is usually their last resort.

Although a firm believer in modern medicine, Sweet has sought through extensive travel and research additional means to alleviate her patient’s suffering, including medieval methods,

primarily those of Hildegard von Bingen, the 12th century nun. During this process she attained a Ph.D. in history and social medicine with Hildegard as the subject of her thesis, and Laguna Honda made a painful and often frustrating transformation into a 21st century health care facility.

This book weaves a colorful tapestry that illustrates what is best in the art of medicine from medieval times to the present. It records a 20-year journey, both physical and spiritual, dur-ing which the author searched for enlightenment in the art of caring including answers to the question, “What would Hilde-gard do?”

She describes Hildegard’s methods, which Hildegard called “viriditas” (meaning green, or natural, healing), as the essence of caring through thoughtful observance of her patients, an

understanding of the natural processes of the body and, what is often lacking in to-day’s practice of medi-cine, time.

A b i g a i l Z u g e r, M.D. gave “God’s Hotel” an excellent review in the New York Times in May and it is described by Dr. Oliver Sacks as, “A most important book, which raises fundamental questions about the nature of medicine in our time. It should be required reading.”

God’s Hote l i s available at the Lanier Library.

Q. Is there a way I can tell my children some personal things outside of my estate plan?A. Yes, we have had clients be very creative in the ways they choose to communi-cate with their loved ones after they are gone. My own uncle left a very touching and inspirational letter to each of his sons. I have had clients leave detailed let-ters outlining their wishes for future generations, their values and philosophy of life. Several have even vid-eotaped their messages to children and grandchildren. Many of these messages have been quite well done and much appreciated by the recipients.
