Polk sees biggest improvement in employment so far during recessionJobless rate down 1 percent in Aprilby Chris Dailey

Polk County saw in April its largest employment gains in the past two years, according to fig-ures from the N.C. Employment

Security Commission.The unemployment rate

dropped from 9.4 percent in March to 8.4 percent in April and the number of unemployed Polk County residents fell from 912 to 807.

While the number of unem-ployed remains more than double

what it was two years ago, the April figures give further indica-tion that the economy is improv-ing and the worst for unemploy-ment may be over.

Since February, the county’s unemployment rate has fallen


Father, son drown in Lake AdgerVictims’ bodies recovered; identified as Henderson County residentsby Leah Justice

Major Calvin Atkins of the sheriff’s office says the initial call

came in around 4 p.m. Sunday. The five-year old girl, the daughter of Jackson and sister of Jackson Jr., was sleeping on the pontoon boat while the father and son were fishing. The girl, who was wearing a life jacket, rolled into the water while sleeping. The father jumped

The father’s girlfriend and mother of the young girl, who was also on the boat, could not swim. She began screaming and honking the boat’s horn for help.

Atkins said the accident hap-pened in the Little Jackson’s Cove section of Lake Adger, between the dam and the boat landing on the north side of the lake.

Nearby residents heard the mom and came to help. A Lake Adger woman brought the girl to safety. She and her husband, along with other residents with boats, looked unsuc-cessfully for the father and son while awaiting rescue workers.

Death threat against U.S. Rep ShulerU.S. Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) is one of several mem-

bers of Congress who have faced death threats recently, according to a report by Politico. Shuler received a message from a 70-year-old man who said he would kill Shuler if he voted for the stimulus package. Shuler said he took the threat seriously and said it’s “really alarming” the first time you get a death threat. He said, “it is very difficult when you serve in public office.” Politico found that six other U.S. representatives also received death threats related to the stimulus bill last year.

curred in about 14 feet of water. He and others speculate that the two got entangled in trees and shrub-bery at the bottom of the lake.

The sheriff’s office says the search began immediately for the victims, and the Henderson County and Green River dive teams recovered the bodies. The son’s body was found around 7:20 p.m. Sunday and the father was found about 30 minutes after, according to the sheriff’s office.

Both the bodies have been

sent to the state medical exam-iner’s office for autopsy.

Atkins says there was no evidence of any alcohol or other substances on the boat.

Several agencies responded to the accident Sunday, including the sheriff’s office, N.C. Wildlife, Polk County Emergency Medical Services, Sunny View Fire and Res-cue, Mill Spring Fire Department, Columbus Fire Department, Polk County Rescue Squad, Saluda Fire and Rescue, the Polk County Chap-ter of the American Red Cross, Blue Ridge Fire Department, Henderson County Rescue Squad and Green River Fire Department.

April unemployment rates

U.S. 9.9 pct.

N.C. 10.0 pct.Polk Co. 8.4 pct.Henderson 8.4 pct.Rutherford 15.2 pct.

S.C. 11.6 pct.Spartanburg 10.8 pct.Greenville 9.0 pct.

1.8 percent and the number of unemployed is down 178. Even better, the number of employed Polk County residents is up 202, reflecting an expanding workforce in the past two months.

According to state figures, Polk County had 8,829 people em-ployed in April, the most since last November, when the unemploy-ment rate was at 8.5 percent.

The rate rose each month over the past winter, reaching a recent high of 10.2 percent in February before dropping 0.8 percent in March.

The improvement in Polk County mirrors a trend that brought lower unemployment rates to 99 of 100 North Carolina counties in April.

The statewide average rate fell from 10.9 percent in March to 10 percent in April. The state had in April 455,013 people who were unemployed and looking for work, down 42,446 from March.

“The positive news in the April county data is that there has been an increase in the number of workers employed throughout the state,” said Employment Security Commission chairman Lynn R. Holmes. “At the same time, the news is tempered by the fact that more than half of the counties still have unemployment rates over the unadjusted rate of 10 percent. We continue to provide a variety of services in our 89 offices statewide to assist those seeking work.”

Currituck County had the low-est rate in the state in April at 5.8 percent, while the highest rate was in Scotland County at 15.8

percent.Rutherford County saw sig-

nificant improvement with a 1.3 percent decline in the unemploy-ment rate, but it still had the second highest rate in the state at 15.2 percent. Henderson County was at 8.4 percent and Buncome County at 8.2 percent.

In South Carolina, employ-ment conditions also brightened considerably in April.

The state’s average rate fell for the third straight month. It was down 0.6 percent from March to 11.6 percent. The num-ber of unemployed was down 14,648.

Both Spartanburg and Green-ville counties saw even greater improvement. The unemployment rate fell 1.4 percent in Spartanburg County to 10.8 percent, and it fell 1.2 percent in Greenville County to 9 percent.

“We are encouraged by this positive news and remain focused on putting South Carolinians back to work,” says John Finan, executive director of the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce.

Carters' Memorial Day memorable with fire call

The Tryon Fire Department responded to a fire call at Robert and Margot Carter’s house on Melrose Lane Monday.

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Da-vis said the fire department re-sponded to a call that the house’s breaker box was smoking.

“We think lightning ran in on

it,” Davis said.Davis said all the breakers

were melted, but that there was minimal damage to the house.

The matter was quickly turned over to Duke Power and no mutual assistance was needed from other fire departments in the area.


Polk students observe latest agriculture researchStudents and teachers gather in front of the N.C. State Mountain Horticultural Crops Research and Extension Center sign. (photo submitted)

Recently 15 students from the Polk County High Agriculture Program toured the Mountain Horticultural Crops Research Center near Fletcher, NC. The students are all part of the Horti-culture II class taught by Chaunc-ey Barber.

As part of the tour the students were able to observe the work be-ing done in the vegetable, fruit and

ornamental research world. Polk students visited the tissue culture lab where scientists are develop-ing new plants for both the nursery and bio-fuels industries. Tours of both the tomato and ornamental greenhouses gave students an opportunity to see some of the most recent work in the world of plant breeding. Lastly the group was able to “taste test” many

new varieties of apples, grown on the research property but new to Western North Carolina.

“One of the goals of our Ag program at Polk County High School is to show students the current methods of farming as well as those new crops and methods to be used in the future,” said Chauncey Barber. “The kids always come away from this trip

learning something that we could not gain from the classroom.”

The Biotech Class from PCHS, along with their instructor Jennifer Allsbrook, also took part in the field trip. The Horticulture II students were accompanied by their teacher, Chauncey Barber and Polk County Extension Di-rector John Vining.

Conversations from Birdlandby DonWeathington

Who caresOn March 23, 2010, Presi-

dent Obama signed into law the 2010 Health Care Bill.

In the weeks and months prior to this historic occasion, the nation’s media had publi-cized contentious debate on the issue, falling almost exclusively along party lines.

For the 13 days preceding the signing of the law, I was in hospital, fading in and out of consciousness. I am told that I was near death, but fortunately I have no real recollection of that. I do have moments of clarity about some few events - the appearance of my sons and daughter, and of course the gentle minis-trations of my wife - but for the most part I recall how the whole scenario of the angry debate emanating from the TV seemed so hostile and deroga-tory. It also seemed ironic to me that I was having this medical crisis during the time of this broadcast debate.

Interspersed around the emo-tions of concerned family and the depressingly nasty com-ments of the talking heads regarding the Health Care Bill, are hazy images of medical personnel as they went about the business of saving my life. Emergency procedures were applied early in the process. Doctors and nurses came to check first this function and then another. Medications were started and adjusted. Always vital signs were monitored and recorded. Food was delivered and I was encouraged to eat. Toilet functions were arranged and assistance was available as necessary. Aides made and remade the bed.

The floor was kept spotless. Special tests were run. There was a constant focus of attention on meeting my medical needs.

All the above-cited care was done with a gentleness and kind-

ness that was “from the heart.” When caregivers are smiling and speaking encouragement to those to whom they minister, it’s not difficult to spot sincer-ity; and I found that sincerity everywhere during this trying experience.

From the hospital, I was transferred to a “Skilled Nurs-ing/Rehab Facility.”

Still pretty rocky, I was fairly helpless for a while. As the days passed, however, an array of nurses and therapists began easing me into a routine of exercise and learning, which eventually allowed me to come

home to com-plete the work of recovery. The attitudes of these people were equally amaz ing to

me. They were always positive, always encouraging, and always considerate.

Again, everyone did their job, from the medical director to the janitorial staff; and did it with smiles and kindness. I came away from this experience with a new awareness of those who choose to earn their living in the medical environment - they seem to be “called” to the work, rather than just collecting a paycheck.

Since I’ve been home, Medi-care has allowed me to have continued care in the form of nursing and physical therapy - again delivered by caring and competent professionals. While my recovery is still far from complete, I am slowly being able to resume most of the activities that I enjoyed before going into the hospital. During this process, I have thought on numerous occasions that everyone should have the chance to recover from medical issues that come along in life. I’m glad that the president signed the bill, even if it is modified (and there are

portions of the bill that will and should be modified). But the idea of universal health care is now in place.

Those who would destroy it (rather than changing the un-workable parts) do so at the peril of being so elitist that they call attention to the mean-spirited no-tion that you’re only deserving of care if you believe a certain way, make a certain amount of money, live in a particular neighborhood, or have a particular skin color.

Destroying this movement toward universal health care, while continuing to fund wars, reveals a character that is quite different from the claims that so many Americans make about the US being the beacon of freedom and well-being.

The value of any culture can only be measured by how it cares for its elderly and its helpless citizens. The providers of medi-cal services in our nation have the competence and the caring to demonstrate the greatness of this nation. I salute them and their commitment to assisting the in-firm to reach toward maximizing their lives. Likewise, I commend those who worked so hard to pass the 2010 Health Care Bill which extends quality care to those who couldn’t otherwise afford it.

Once upon a time, not

so long ago, a local couple

happened upon a skinny

little Appaloosa mare in a

dirt lot. Her owner no longer

wanted to trail ride her; she

wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew

a few things about horses

and decided to take her

home with them and find

the little mare a new family.

Some extra food, good grass

and a few trail rides later this

couple put an ad up in the

local feed store.

At this very same time, a

sweet “horse crazy” young

girl had convinced her

parents to let her take some

riding lessons. She caught

the bug and now dreamed of

having her own horse. After

some poking and prodding

her parents answered an ad

they found at the local feed

store: an Appaloosa mare –

for sale! The little girl, whose name

is Amanda, met the little

mare, who’s name is Nia,

and as most dreams happen

(when they come true) it was

destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take

lessons from a local profes-

sional. After about six weeks

of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding

Club Horse Trial at FENCE

where they won their dres-

sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country

course and stadium jump-

ing. They ended up high

point!Amanda Morfino on her new horse Nia, with Renée and Nick Morfino. (photo submitted)

Historic Tryon Theatre receives downtown facade grant

Tryon Theater gets a facelift. (photo by Meg Rogers)

The historic Tryon Theatre is the latest recipient of a Tryon downtown façade grant. Owner Barry Flood utilized the grant opportunity to give the theatre, dating from the late 1930s, a newly improved fresh face on South Trade Street. The façade grant initiative was developed by the Tryon Downtown Development As-sociation (TDDA), in partner-ship with the Town of Tryon, and the NC Small Town Main Street (NCSTMS) program.

Designed to encourage the rehabilitation and preserva-tion of the unique character of Tryon’s central business district, the façade program offers dollar-for-dollar match-ing grants of up to $2,000 for exterior renovations and repre-sents a unique opportunity for building and business owners to make an immediate impact on their most visible marketing device, the commercial facade of their buildings.

Facade monies, provided through a NC Rural Center Economic Innovation Grant, will only cover work to the ex-terior of buildings in the cen-tral business district. Within this limitation, a wide range of projects may be included. For example, the removal of false

fronts or awnings that detract from a building’s historic character and/or architectural quality, safe façade cleaning procedures, historic recon-struction, approved awning purchase and installation, structural repairs (except the roof), lighting, signage, and other approved items could be eligible components of restora-tion projects.

For further information about the downtown façade program, visit the TDDA website at www.downtown-tryon.org and/or contact John Walters at [email protected] or Crys Armbrust at [email protected].

Littlejohn named Employee of the First Quarter 2010 at St. Luke’s

Cindy Littlejohn (on right), Employee of the First Quarter for 2010, is congratulated by Teresa Marlowe, radiology department supervisor. (photo submitted)

Cindy Littlejohn, radiology technician, always has a help-ful hand and a kind word. Now she has something else to share. Littlejohn has been selected as Employee of the First Quarter at St. Luke’s Hospital.

As a radiology technician with more than 30 years of experi-ence, Littlejohn’s responsibilities include performing traditional x-rays, ultrasounds, nuclear medi-cine and CT scans.

“Cindy is so deserving of this recognition,” says Teresa Mar-lowe, radiology department su-pervisor. “I am always receiving compliments on Cindy about how helpful she is to patients, other co-workers and other depart-ments. She’s able to multi-task and is always available to pitch in or fill in anytime!”

“Cindy is a wonderful co-worker,” says Cathie Grindrod. “She is hardworking, knowledge-able and dependable. Cindy is a wonderful asset to our depart-ment and our hospital.”

Employed with St. Luke’s Hospital for nearly three years, Littlejohn says she loves her job.

“I love my job. I like coming to work!” says Cindy, “I knew what I wanted to early in life and

have been lucky enough to do it! Not only do I enjoy what I do, I love my co-workers and like working with people. It’s just a wonderful place to work!”

When not working at St. Luke’s, Littlejohn enjoys cook-ing, working in her yard and go-ing to the lake. She also has a love for adventure and will travel from Moncks Corner to Beaufort, S.C. this summer on a jet ski.

Littlejohn received a mon-etary award and designated park-ing space at the hospital.

TDDA springs forwardEarly this spring, the board mem-

bers of Tryon Downtown Develop-ment Association gathered to discuss plans for the future and to revisit rec-ommendations from earlier retreats.

Ten board members and two guests, including Town Councilman Wim Woody, examined activities and information central to each of the four areas of TDDA: Organization, Design, Economic Development, and Promotion. The mission of TDDA is to preserve and enhance the community of Tryon through a revitalization program which fo-cuses on streetscape and economic restructuring.

Unlike the monthly meetings which the leadership tries to limit to one hour, the retreat allowed suf-ficient time for adequate discussion of each area. The group looked at earlier plans and brainstormed about new activities. They prioritized and rehashed and encouraged each committee to pursue even more ideas. Discussion included sidewalk improvements on South Trade Street, New Market Road/South Trade inter-section reconfiguration, streetlight flower baskets, and a charette to plan for the vacant space on Palmer Street.

TDDA is currently composed of 17 board members who serve on ro-tating three-year terms. Board mem-bers are Doug Arbogast, Bill Ingham, Mark Byington, Paula Edwards, John Walters, Wanda May, Ann Gargiulo, Jeff Byrd, Nancy Holmes, Steve

Cobb, Kate Stroupe, Crys Armbrust, Justin Vosburgh, Kathleen Carson, and Nathan Galloway.

President is Crys Armbrust, Vice president is Steve Cobb of Owen’s Pharmacy, secretary is Wanda May, and treasurer is Justin Vosburgh of Tryon Federal Bank. Chair of the Design Committee is landscape architect, Mark Byington; chair of promotion is Nathan Galloway, the executive director of the soon to open Tryon Toymaker’s House & Museum; chair of economic develop-ment is Tony Mayse of High-Tech House Call.

Since its inception, TDDA’s purpose has been to improve the Town of Tryon, to make it the most desirable place to work and shop, a community that offers a variety of venues for outstanding local and regional art and music.

Currently, there are 54 individual members, eight non-profits, and 21 businesses. Membership is open to the public. TDDA is a tax-exempt, 501 c 3 organization. All contribu-tions are tax-deductible.

The meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month and are open to the public. For additional information about joining, pick up an application form at the TDDA office in Town Hall or call Crys Armbrust at 828-859-9879. His e-mail address is [email protected].

PCHS grad named Montreat Male Athlete of the Year

(ContinueD on page 42)

Hall graduated from Polk in 2007

Former polk County High school student Benjamin Hall has been named the Male athlete of the Year at Montreat College.

Hall was a track standout at polk County High prior to graduat-ing in 2007.

He is now a junior at Montreat. He was given his award at Montreat during a recent sports banquet at the college.

the award, voted on by all the coaches at the college, was based on all Montreat sports, not just for cross country and track.

the following was read by Hall’s coach Jose Larios at Mon-treat during the banquet.

“I had the honor of meeting Ben during my first month of recruiting at Montreat. His chunky smile and his wonderful family left a great impression on me. I had no idea this young man would become one of the best-rounded student-athletes I’d ever coached.

“He’s a young man after Jesus’ heart- and he exudes this character-

istic in all facets of his life! From encouraging his teammates, to greeting a classmate, to helping the elderly- Ben does it with zeal and sincerity. one of his teammates put it best, ‘Ben cares. He legitimately cares for people.’

“an honors student and pre-med major, Ben leads our highly competitive academic team. as an athlete, he’s qualified to compete at

the national cross coun-try championships the last two years. earning cross country athlete of the week honors numer-

ous times. as a freshman, Hall put himself in elite class as he placed 19th in the nation in the marathon. He went on to place 8th out of 23,000 plus runners at last year’s Nashville Country Music Half Marathon. this spring, Ben earned himself his first ever conference title in the 5000 meter run in 15:29, which averages out to 4:58 per mile for just over three miles! this feat is impressive in itself considering Ben could barely run oNe mile under 5 minutes in high school!

“We could spend all night talk-

My son, Benjamin Hall, who graduated from polk Co. High in 2007, and is now a junior at Montreat College, was honored tuesday night at their sports ban-quet as Montreat's Male athlete of the Year. (this was out of all their sports, and was voted on by all the various coaches, not just his cross country/track coaches.) You can get the details from their athletic Department -- a contact name would be amanda Hol-lifield, Assoc. Athletic Director, [email protected]

I have attached the narrative we read on Ben and a picture of him and our athletic director, Jonathan Bennett. Ben’s coach, Jose Larios, who I have copied on this email would be happy to pro-

“His performances have earned the respect of his teammates, and his competitors; but, it’s Ben’s heart and character that separates him from others.”

-- Jose Larios

•PCHS grad (continued from page 14)ing about his dedication, his work ethic, his determination, and his toughness… like his solitary, two-and-a-half-hour runs to old Fort and back! stats are stats- there will always be faster and more talented athletes- and Ben’s athletic achievements are in small com-pany at the NaIa national level.

“His performances have earned the respect of his teammates, and his competitors; but, it’s Ben’s heart and character that separates him from others. another team-mate described Ben like this, “From the first day I came to visit, Ben emulated the Christ-centered-ness of Montreat. His selflessness continues to serve as encourage-ment and a model for me.”

“Coach Dawson and his 40-plus years of coaching experience shared these words, ‘I’m not sure I’ve ever met someone with Ben’s character… not sure I ever will.’

“as a coach, I’ve witnessed our team make a recent, meaningful, and yet pitiful, attempt of keeping Christ at the center of our team. We’ll never get it right but we’re

determined to try. With that as our number one priority, I believe we upset the opposition. We’ve expe-rienced some more-than-average dissension on our team, injury upon injury, and sickness upon sickness. this has been the year of challenges… but, with Ben and his men, we’re reminded that the op-position has already been defeated. god is good and when He uses young leaders like Ben and many others in this room, His goodness will continue to shine.

thank you Ben for being a gentleman, a scholar and most importantly, thank you for your humbleness as you give god all the glory while you bless our campus community.

Ben Hall competing for Polk County before he graduated from the high school in 2007.

Notationsby Bonnie Bardos

Looking forward to Ward’s best burgers, meat counter

“There is nothing in the world more peaceful than apple-leaves with an early moon.’ ~ Alice Meynell

Saluda folks are thrilled that Ward’s Grill is reopening, with a Saluda native who loves our town and cares about the people and buildings of Saluda. Clark Thompson has purchased the Main Street building.

Ward’s will offer the famous meat counter again, plus add more goodies to the grill menu. He’ll have Judy Ward, Charlie’s widow, help run it. You just can’t go wrong with that com-bination: and these two love our town and people. Home folks indeed. Thank you, Clark!

I hope that Ray McClees down in Tryon knows that he can again find the perfect omelet again. Come on up to Saluda and pick your stool out again at the grill!

As for me, I’m looking for-ward to getting the best hamburg-er around again. Somehow, it’s a bet that Charlie Ward is smiling down on all this. I always knew things would be all right in the world when I passed by and saw him out on the street in the white apron, sweeping and whistling. He always had a hug and kind word for folks, too.

* * * Congratulations to the win-

ners in the juried Saluda Arts Festival.

The award for Best Overall was given to Saluda’s own Jim Carson. Second-place winners Bill Gramley of Lewisville, who received the award in the 2-D category, and Linda Marie Miller of Inman, S.C., who won for her 3-D artwork.

Bruce Bunch of Taylors, S.C., took third place for his 2-D artwork, and George Getty of Greenville, SC won in the 3-D

category. Honorable mention awards were given to Jeff Pitt-man, Laura Faye Long, Jocelyn Davis and Mike Cowan.

Artwork was judged by Rich Nelson, Robert Dunning and Ben Pfingsta. I breezed through the booths before heading to work, and enjoyed the quality of the art. Remember that Saluda artists will have their art on display at the Senior Center on Greenville Street this month... stop in if you haven’t yet. Extra thank you’s to all hard working volunteers who made the festival happen!

many years. Polly Kent fell down steps last month, broke places in her back, broke her right wrist, and is home recuperating. When I called to check on her, she was in good spirits, saying it could have been worse. Jo Dellinger continues to improve from a broken ankle, but it’s been a slow process. Please remember them, and others who have been under the weather this spring.

R&B singer Mary J. Blige to play Nina Simone in movieCynthia Mort’s film focuses on Simone and her assistantby stuart Kemp

R&B songstress Mary J. Blige will tune up her jazz vocals after signing to star in Cynthia Mort’s “Nina,” a movie about legendary singer Nina Simone.

Mort’s script focuses on Si-mone’s relationship with her assistant Clifton Henderson, who will be played by David Oyelowo, backers said.

William Morris Endeavor’s Global Finance & Distribution Group brought the film to U.K. production, finance and studio facility operator Ealing Studios.

Ealing is financing, producing and selling internationally the $10 million movie scheduled to shoot in the fall this year. WME Global is handling North American rights.

Simone was a singer, song-writer, pianist, arranger and civil rights activist.

Mort’s resume includes a stint as a writer-producer on TV’s “Rosanne” and “Will & Grace” and as creator of “Tell Me You Love Me.”

Congratulations on organizing, publicizing and op-erating this great festival!

I am very glad that St. Luke’s Hospital will again be a part of this year’s festival as one of sev-eral local sponsors. I appreciate the volunteer efforts of several employees who will represent the hospital during the two-day festival, handing out sunscreen, hand sanitizer and the very popular hand fans that prove to be a life-saver year after year for many people braving the heat. (Will you join the St. Luke’s Fan Club?) Yes, they are free!

If you drop by for a band aid or a hand wipe, or just to sit and rest in the shade, you will have the opportunity to hear about the programs and services of our hospital, includ-ing the exciting approach to hip replacement surgery and the upcoming Ache Around the Lake (Oct. 2 - mark your calendar!) to raise funds for the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. We’ll tell you about our 10-bed geriatric psychiatric unit, our 24-hour emergency department and the capabilities of our outpatient rehab services. We would love to tell you about our in-home care program through Community Health Connections, our Com-munity Alternative Program for

Disabled Adults and our two hyperbaric chambers for chronic wound care. We’ll also tell you about our great volunteers, and our need for a few more!

This year there will be an-other opportunity under the St. Luke’s Hospital tent. This year you can participate in a free health screening!

We are all too familiar with the diseases that can kill – heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes. We want to do what’s neces-sary to reduce our chances of developing these diseases. But do you know the numbers that are key indicators? The truth is, we all want to be healthy, but knowing how has not always been so clear.

St. Luke’s Hospital and the Medical Assistant/Patient Care Technician classes of Isother-mal Community College Polk Campus want to make it easier to know your numbers by spon-soring a free screening at the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival on Friday, June 11, from 3–7 p.m. Appointments are not neces-sary. Just stop by the St. Luke’s Hospital tent for this valuable screening and useful informa-tion.

The numbers referred to are those numbers we can’t seem to remember or understand: blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen level and body mass index, or BMI. These numbers are the most basic indicators of health.

By knowing them, you can measure your risk for seri-ous heal th problems l ike cardiovascular disease, stroke and diabetes.

St. Luke’s and ICC have joined together to promote better personal health throughout our community. We hope that after the screening, you’ll better un-derstand these key numbers that are indicators of good health. Unfortunately, too many of us don’t know our key health care numbers or don’t know whether they are within the ‘healthy’ range. We want to help you, your family and your friends achieve better health by measuring your risk of serious health problems like cardiovascular disease, dia-betes and stroke.

Please take advantage of the Free Health Screening at the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival on Friday, June 11, from 3 – 7 p.m.

S u p p o r t i n g , e d u c a t i n g and encouraging the commu-nity to become healthy and active is just another way St. Luke’s Hospital continues to provide excellent care, close to home.

For more information, please call 828-894-2408.

St. Luke’s Hospital is a not for profit, acute care hospital af-filiated with Carolinas Healthcare System of Charlotte, N.C., for spe-cialized management expertise, experience with developing strong community-based clinical servic-es, and participation in revenue and purchasing contracts. CHS is the largest healthcare system in the Carolinas and the third largest public system in the nation.

Unemployment rate improvesIt is good to see the unemployment rate improving in

polk County. across the state, we are seeing improvement, with unemployment rates decreasing in 99 of N.C.’s 100 counties.

polk County, at 8.4 percent, was one of the 41 counties that were below the state average of ten percent.

The state paid out $189 million in Unemployment Insurance to 190,311 individuals in april, compared to payments of $227 million to 213,786 in March

Just two years ago in polk County, the number of unemployed was as low as 341 of the county’s 9,431 workers in the labor force. However, the trend had been rising ever since, peaking at 985 unemployed in February of this year.

Thankfully, for so many of our local families, that num-ber started to decline again in March, dropping from 985 out of work, a 10.2 percent unemployment rate, to 912 in March and 807 in april, bringing the unemployment rate down to 8.4 percent. That represents 178 people finding jobs since February. We must be thankful for that.

N.C. State University Economist Mike Walden confirms that we are seeming improvement in the state economy. Factory output in North Carolina shows higher rates of production. Home prices actually moved a little higher, unlike the national trend.

He predicts employment, up for four straight months, should start to significantly improve by summer. An en-couraging forecast.

However, the National Review of economic Research, a think tank composed of prominent economists, in early May, would not declare the recession over. even when they do, the declaration will only mean that the economy is no longer falling, only that it is starting to get better.

With the latest good unemployment rate news, we can only hope and pray that is the case, starting now. — JB

Enthusiastic supporter of Millwood in S.C. House primaryTo the editor:

I enthusiastically support incumbent Joey Millwood for the S.C. House Dis-trict 38. I know Joey personally and honor his character and integrity. His campaign sign says, “a Conser-vative with Courage,” and he has proven this during his time in the assembly.

During the reaffirmation hear-ing of a very liberal State Su-preme Court Judge, Don Beatty, Joey was the only dissenting vote. Knowing this vote would make no difference, I suspect most people would play it safe (the cowardly “go along to get along” mentality) and vote with the crowd.

Joey also fiercely fought to eliminate some of the more egregious provisions in taxpayer funding for state employees’ abortions, which battle, of course, was lost to the “progressives.”

even worse, all the other “Republicans) (RINOs?) voted to affirm this leftist judge and most voted for “abortion for hire.” These people were elected on their pledge to uphold the stated Republican platform; this vote was part of the continuing betrayal of their pledge.

These facts shine a bright light on the few who actually have the superlative virtue of integrity.

Many bemoan that both the S.C. House and Senate are “ma-jority Republican.” Really? I see only a handful, valiantly fighting to restore some semblance of respect for the Constitution and rule of law, but voting results are typically leftist. Joey says

he and these few other patriots “have targets on their backs” (it’s so unpopular to stand on truth these days). Do we have so few left with the cherished virtues of courage and integrity?

I read the TDB article on the recently Landrum H.S. candidate fo-rum. Of course, one dare not suggest that there were operatives placed in the audi-

ence, doing some of the “rum-blings and moans,” occurring only when anyone dared ques-tion the exorbitant spending or supported school choice. Do they really exclude all but the “elites?” How many states -- 10, 25? Is that the main reason that each year we’re near the bottom nationally, a fact which is typi-cally ignored in most discussions of schools?

Some argue that private schools may choose students, but public schools must take everyone. Can this really ac-count for so many poor results? private schools cost about half of public, yet their outcomes are far superior.

a friend told me that Spartan-burg district employs a Russian-speaking teacher for one child who speaks only Russian. This is outrageous. are parents sup-posed to have any meaningful responsibility at all for their own children? are people aware that the S.C. Department of education has about 100 employees earning $100,000 plus? How does this huge amount of money educate children in their classrooms?

Refusing school choice is tantamount to “herding” our chil-dren and trampling the sacrosanct parental right to make all deci-sions for their children. What’s next? School boards forbidding children to ride in an SUV, or at-

Landrum Quilters donate to Hospice

Tracey Brannon, Hospice volunteer coordinator, accepts the quilts. (photo submitted)

The Landrum Quilters re-cently donated 16 lap quilts and two twin-size gurney quilts to Hospice of the Caroli-na Foothills. Tracey Brannon, Hospice volunteer coordina-tor, accepted the quilts at the group’s May meeting.

Member Debi Miller do-nated tops for the two larger quilts which were quilted by members Wanda Pace and Kathy Rivenbark. Nancy Murray, who is coordinating this philanthropic project for Landrum Quilters, anticipates receiving a total of 65 lap quilts for nursing home and home-bound patients served hospice as well as those in the Smith Phayer Hospice House in Landrum.

The Landrum Quilters also provide quilts for children at the Ronald McDonald House in Greenville, monthly support for Steps to Hope in Columbus, and the tote and duffle bags for children taken into protective custody by the Spartanburg County Department of Social Services.

The club, composed of some 130 members, is cel-ebrating its 30th anniversary

this year.– article submitted

Worse still, people of faith are forced to send their children for 180 days a year to institutions

which ban prayer, and harass students for having a Bible or expressing their deeply-held faith in a school speech.

It seems more about separat-ing children from their parents and essential spiritual values than

the Constitutionally non-existent “separation of church and state.” Conversely, we are being forced into a state religion — secular humanism.— Margaret Howard, Campo-
