The idea of the equestrian game of Polo coming to the Tryon horse community has never been as viable as it is today. After Libby Johnson of Tryon horse country commented in an article last spring that this equine community has everything but Polo, Dave Slater of Slater Turf Farm got an idea. As a turf farmer he knows how to grow turf on large fields. A little study and asking around brought him to the conclusion that his family had just the right ingredients to create a full sized polo field. “A polo field is enormous,” says Slater, “it is just shy of 10 acres in size. It needs to be big to accommodate the eight players and the umpire barreling along at a gallop trying to hit the polo ball through the goal post.” Slater has turned his bermudagrass sod field into a polo field at Caroland Farms in one of the

N.C. Poet Laureate Bowers helps library card campaign Tryon resident serves as spokesperson for sign-up effort

North Carolina’s poet laureate Cathy Smith Bowers of Tryon has joined North Carolina public libraries to promote Library Card Sign-up Month in North Carolina Bowers is encouraging children, families and North Carolina residents to visit their public library and sign up for a library card. In a recent video shoot, Bowers shared her memories of signing up for her first library card. “One of the most exciting days of my life was the day I got my first library card. Libraries will always be important to me because I know the sense of freedom and awe and magic they can bring.” Bowers, a poet and word lover, encourages all North Carolinians to visit their library -- to take time from their busy lives to explore the rich literature and many wonderful resources available at their library. Appointed by Governor Beverly E. Perdue in January 2010, Bowers serves as an ambassador of North Carolina literature by affirming the transformative value of poetry in our lives. The poet laureate program is administered by the N.C. Arts Council. September is Library Card Signup Month – a time when the State Library of North Carolina (http:// statelibrary.ncdcr.gov/index.html) and libraries across the state spread the message that the library card is the “smartest card.” The goal is to make the library card the most valued and used card for North Carolina citizens. Over five million North Carolinians are card-carrying library users, and during the last fiscal year over 44 million visited their public library and over 9 million used the Internet computers. A recent American Library Association report found that the

importance of libraries in American life continued to grow in 2010 – and accelerated dramatically as the national economy sank and people looked for sources of costeffective help in a time of crisis. Now more than ever, Americans turn to – and depend on – their libraries and librarians financial information, computer and Internet access and, of course, books, movies and more. During her visits to North Carolina libraries, State Librarian Mary Boone has seen first hand (Continued on page 4)

Flu vaccines plentiful this season

Unlike last year, the flu vaccine is plentiful and not restricted to particular age groups, according to the N.C. Division of Public Health. Everyone over the age of six months is encouraged to be immunized."This year, manufacturers are ahead of the curve, giving us plenty of time to get folks adequately protected for flu season," state health director Dr. Jeffrey Engel. This year's flu vaccine includes protection against the H1N1 strain and two other anticipated flu strains. Seasonal flu is most deadly for very young children and senior citizens. However, the 2009 H1N1 flu disproportionately affected middle-aged adults and young people. Flu vaccines are arriving at pharmacies, doctors' offices and local health departments.

A historical photo of downtown Saluda with city hall at left.

• Saluda

(continued from page 1)

descendant of a few of Saluda’s founding families, including her great-great grandfather, Ransom Woodruff Pace, says she was concerned after hearing that Thompson’s Store and Ward’s Grill were closing and met with the Saluda Business Association, elected officials and a few others to see what could be done. Another meeting was held in May that was more widely publicized and open to the public. The Saluda Board of Commissioners approved the historic committee in June. The committee has met a few times and established a city hall restoration committee to begin efforts to restore city hall. Immediate needs at the city hall/police department include window and floor repairs. The Saluda City Hall/Police Department building was built between 1897-1906, which was once the Carolina State Bank. Following is an article submitted by Tuttle about the committee. The Historic Saluda Committee was formed as a direct result of a public outcry from part-time Saluda resident, Cindy Stephenson Tuttle. Tuttle indicated her motivation stems from being a descendant of a few of Saluda’s founding families, including her great, great grandfather, Ransom Woodruff Pace, once active in Saluda affairs, who was the grandson of Burrell Pope Pace who settled Pace’s Gap, which later became Saluda. Tuttle is also the granddaughter of the late Joseph Raymond Stephenson, Sr., State Senator representing Polk County in the 1950’s and 60’s, who was

also active in civic affairs in Polk County and Saluda in many capacities. When it was announced that Thompson’s Store and Ward’s Grill were closing, out of concern Tuttle called a meeting in April 2010 of the Saluda Business Association and elected officials to see what could be done. It became apparent that the potential threat to preserving Saluda’s historical integrity expanded beyond Thompson’s. Tuttle called a second meeting in May 2010 that was more widely publicized and open to the public. At this meeting, Tuttle asked for support from the community and elected officials to address historic preservation issues. Since Tuttle is a part-time resident and works full-time in another city, she asked that someone who resides in Saluda full-time take the lead. In June 2010, the Saluda City Commissioners formally embraced the request by forming a Historic Saluda Committee and appointed a seven member panel. Lynn Cass of Saluda was appointed to chair the committee. Luckily, within a couple of months of that meeting, Clark Thompson, a Saluda native and cousin of Charlie Ward (the original proprietor who is now deceased) and Judy Ward, Charlie Ward’s widow, bought back the store and grill. With the realization that the situation with Thompson’s Store and Ward’s Grill could have gone very differently, city officials and committee members agreed that steps need to be put in place to protect the historical integrity of Saluda. Though the business district of downtown Saluda is already on the National Register of Historic Places, this does not (Continued on page 8)

Landrum plans firstCarolina millage rate hike since 1987 MediCal Multi-C are Center Increase proposed due to cuts in state funding by Chris Dailey

Landrum residents may see a slightly higher property tax bill this year if the city goes ahead with plans for its first millage rate hike in 23 years. Landrum City Administrator Steven Wolochowicz is proposing a 1 mil increase for the upcoming fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. The increase is needed, he says, to offset the loss of revenue from the state. The city receives $70,000 from the state through the Local Government Fund, but the state has cut the fund in recent years, and some officials speculate it may be eliminated completely at some point. The city might consider a larger millage rate increase to make up for the loss, but state Act 388 limits local governments to a 1 mil increase per year. "I anticipate this would generate approximately $12,000 to $15,000," says Wolochowicz. "This is not much but over time it will help. Unfortunately, South Carolina towns and cities have few options when it comes to raising revenue." Wolochowicz says the 1 mil rate hike would increase taxes on owner-occupied homes by about $4 for a home valued at $100,000, $6 for one valued at $150,000, $8 for one valued at $200,000 and $10 for one at $250,000. "No one wants to pay additional taxes, yet at the same time no one wants to see a reduction in city services," says Wolochowicz. "If we do not obtain additional revenue in the near future we will have no choice but to reduce the services that the city of Landrum provides our citizens today." Wolochowicz says revenue from the state may be declining at a time when insurance and fuel costs are rising. The city also faces needs for police, fire and grounds

The city is estimating that for staff or city council, "although maintenance activities, he says.

Sheriff Hill offers tips on campus safety for new students This fall thousands of students will leave their families and friends to attend college. For many, it will be their first time away from home and also their first experience with total independence. It’s an exciting time and a dangerous one. Concerned with this safety issue, Sheriff Donald Hill of Polk County urges college students to exercise caution when living on campus. Across the United States, college campuses are increasing security measures by installing emergency call box systems designed to immediately contact a 911 operator. They are usually located in frequently traveled areas such as parking lots and main

routes used to and from class. Another popular security measure involves campus escorts. This program recruits qualified volunteers to walk students to and from class after dark. Security cameras and bright lighting are also being used to heighten campus safety. “College campuses are extremely vulnerable to crime because of their openness,” said Sheriff Hill. “It’s difficult to keep buildings and dorm rooms locked because people are constantly coming and going. Another contributing factor is that students tend to develop a false sense of security because of the seemingly peaceful surroundings.”

Campus crimes can take many forms - theft, date rape, and drugs to name just a few. It’s impossible to avoid all dangers. However, Sheriff Hill has some suggestions on how college students can better protect and educate themselves through campus safety education. • Never post information as to your whereabouts on your dorm room door. If an intruder knows that you are away, it’s an open invitation for them to break in. • Even if leaving your room for only a few minutes, lock your door. • When studying in out-ofthe-way places, inform campus security as to your whereabouts.

• When meeting a study partner for the first time, make arrangements to meet in a public place. • Encourage campus security to establish a photo identification program to deter outsiders from entereing school buildings. • Work with your local law enforcement to organize a safety education program to teach incoming students the do’s and don’ts of campus safety. • Familiarize yourself with emergency call box locations. • Learn to trust your instincts. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, get out of it. Don’t allow anyone to violate your comfort zone. – article submitted

Horse 1x2 Liniment m,W Erases Pain 3/10/10 - 5/26/10

HIALEAH, FL — an ingredient often used to treat inflammation in racehorse’s legs, is now back on the market in its original doctor recommended formula. according to a national drug store survey, the formula at one time became so popular that it rose to the top of pharmacy sales for topical pain relievers. But the company marketing the product at the time changed the formula and sales plummeted. One of the inventors of the original formula has brought it back to the market under the trade name aRTH aRReST and says it can relieve pain for millions. aRTH aRReST works by a dual mechanism whereby one ingredient relieves pain immediately, while a second ingredient seeks out and destroys the pain messenger signal before it can be sent to the brain. considered a medical miracle by some, the aRTH aRReST formula is useful in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism, tendonitis, backache and more. aRTH aRReST is available in a convenient roll-on applicator at pharmacies without a prescription or call 1-800-339-3301or in columbus at: MEDICAP PHARMACY 80 SHUFORD RD • 894-6112

The Pileated Woodpecker Whether you say “Pill-eated” or “Pile-eated”, this woodpecker is still a very impressive bird. While it now holds the distinction of being this country’s largest woodpecker, this has not always been the case. The almost (or completely) extinct Ivory-billed Woodpecker was larger by around 3 inches, but this species is now one of legends, although rumors of its continued existence still persist, especially in the heavily forested swamps from Louisiana into the Florida Panhandle. The Pileated Woodpecker is nonetheless a magnificent bird, and one that is familiar to even the casual birder. It is fairly common throughout the Carolinas, and is a frequent visitor to suet feeders in suburban gardens, especially here in the western part of the state. However, by Simon it is scarce in Thompson many areas of the piedmont where large tracts of forest have been removed. These large woodpeckers need large woodlots to survive and it does not seem to matter whether there are buildings or structures within the forest, as long as the integrity of the ecosystem is preserved. Where the forest is damaged by excessive fragmentation and destruction, Pileated Woodpeckers will quickly disappear, but upon forest rejuvenation they are again able to re-colonize these lost areas. Both the male and female woodpeckers are large birds just under 2 feet in length- about the

Sisters bring gold to Polk County xxx

No strangers to the 4-H public speaking program, Bradley and Carson Kay went to the N. C. State Horse Congress competition and won gold medals in their respective divisions. Bradley won in the 11 -13 age category with an amusing and educational talk on how to know if you should own your own horse. Carson won in the 14 – 18 age category for public speaking with a very controversial speech on the subject of the horse slaughter industry.

Landowners urged to sign up for Conservation Reserve Program Landowners who own cropland and are interested in improving wildlife habitat can now apply for the USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) under a time-limited “General” sign-up. The program provides landowners with financial assistance for wildlife habitat establishment and offers rental payments to offset income lost from reduced agricultural production on their property. A General CRP sign-up is underway for cropland which has been designated as “Highly Erodible” and has an official cropping history for at least four years between 2002 and 2007. “This sign-up represents one of the best opportunities to significantly increase early-successional habitat acres across the state, providing habitat for wildlife species that require this specialized successional stage,” said Mark Jones, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s supervising wildlife biologist for private lands. The General CRP practice which offers the most potential to enhance early-successional habitat is “Permanent Wildlife Habitat,” practice

CP-4D. This practice treats the field to be enrolled as a blank canvas. Native grasses, forbs, shrubs, and trees can be established in proper proportion and arrangement to best fit specific wildlife species needs. More traditional food plot species can be established, without cost assistance, within the field on a limited basis using another practice called “Wildlife Food Plot,” CP-12. Also, fire breaks can be maintained in green vegetation such as wheat, oats, and clover. CRP contracts are 10-year minimum agreements requiring habitat establishment and proper habitat maintenance conducted according to a conservation plan developed by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and with input from other agencies. Proper maintenance of early-successional habitat requires periodic disturbance such as prescribed burning or light disking, as well as spot treatment of undesirable vegetation. The deadline for signing up is August 27. For more information, visit your local Farm Service Agency office. – article submitted
