Commissioners face off on DSS

by Leah Justice

Construction recently began for a new Polk County Department of Social Services (DSS) building, but that hasn't ended the controversy over the building among Polk County commissioners.

Commissioners Cindy Walker, Ray Gasperson and Renée McDermott submitted to the Bulletin a joint statement about the building

responding to what they say are “recent unprovoked partisan attacks” on them (see pg. 5).

Walker, Gasperson and McDermott defend their decisions to move forward on the project. Their statement says they have been been described as “fiscally irresponsible,” and those claims are based (Continued on page 5)

N.C. unemployment down

August 27 - 29

Friday, August 27, 2010

8/27 at some of the latest news in the area.

A glance HHMW-038436

North Carolina’s unemployment rate has dipped below double digits for the first time since January 2009. The Employment Security Commission reported Friday that the unemployment rate for July fell to 9.8 percent, down from 10 percent a month earlier. The jobless rate has declined for five straight months but remains higher than the national jobless rate for July of 9.5 percent. N.C. officials say the number of workers drawing a paycheck is up 34,000 since July 2009, when the state jobless rate was 11 percent. The number of unemployed in North Carolina fell by 16,000 workers in July to 440,000. The number of unemployed has dropped by 56,000 people in the past year.

$99M renovation project planned for GSP

A $99 million renovation project is planned at GreenvilleSpartanburg International airport. Terminal improvements are planned to alleviate problems that have plagued the airport, including higher fares, few destinations and passengers’ sidestepping GSP for airports in Atlanta and Charlotte, N.C. GSP’s main terminal, which opened in October 1962, is in need of a comprehensive upgrade, said airport spokeswoman Rosylin Weston. Improvements will be intended to enhance traffic flow, security and ticketing throughout the terminal, as well as make it more environmentally friendly.

The Town of Lake Lure is buying from Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy 200 acres north of Lake Lure. No town funds have to be used for the purchase. The town got a $450,000 grant from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF) to buy the property and develop it for recreational use. The town is receiving the land, formerly in the Grey Rock community, at less than half the appraised value. Lake Lure plans to leave most of the tract in its natural state but will develop trail-head parking and a picnic area, as well as public trails. Town manager Chris Braund told the town commissioners that Lake Lure town hopes to close on the 200-acre property in October or November.

The City of Spartanburg is working on a $4.5 million project involving renovations to the terminal building and construction of 24 new T-hangars at Spartanburg Downtown Memorial Airport.

Other additions include an observation tower where people can watch planes take off and land, a privately funded children’s play area and a plaza. The work is financed through a $500,000 state aeronautics commission grant and through new market tax credits and financing from Carolina First Bank.

Federal grant to help S.C. create charter schools

South Carolina is getting a federal grant of nearly $6 million to help develop about 40 new charter schools. The Greenville News reported Monday the money will be used over two years to provide training and technical assistance for groups that want to start charter schools. More than 12,000 students are enrolled in charter schools in South Carolina. Charter schools are publicly funded but operate independently from local school board and are free from many state and local regulations.

on “misleading and plainly deficient claims.”

The three say that some are saying the building is over budget, which is just plain false.

The county agreed to spend up to $2 million and if there is a budget this early, the $2 million is the budget and that number has not been exceeded, say the three commissioners.

C o m m i s s i o n e r To m m y Melton also submitted a statement addressing the issue (see p. 10) in response to a recent letter to the editor by resident Jerry Hardvall (see the Wednesday, Aug. 11 Bulletin). Melton says he is in favor of a new building, but he thinks that the proposed building is too large and has too many empty offices planned.

“I want to see this building get built as much as anyone in this county,” Melton writes.

“However, from the beginning, I have had certain convictions and reservations about the size

of the building.”

Other letters from residents and candidates for commissioner regarding the building and its costs have also been published recently, supporting either Walker, Gasperson and McDermott or Melton and commissioner Warren Watson.

Walker, Gasperson and McDermott have formed the majority on the Polk County Board of Commissioners on the topic of the new building.

Most decisions regarding the new building have been split, with Walker, Gasperson and McDermott voting one way and commissioners Melton and Watson voting the other.

The topic has quickly become an issue in the upcoming election, in which three commissioner seats will be decided. The seats of Gasperson, a Democrat, Melton, an Independent and Watson, an Independent, are being challenged by Democrats Margaret Johnson and Benny Smith and Republicans David Moore, Ted Owens and Tom Pack.

with the current rate of expenditures?

Using a declining crime rate as reported by the FBI from 1998 to 2008, shows the rate declining from 4,615 to 3,667 crimes per hundred thousand people, which is a 20.5% decline. A 20.5% decline in crime rate represents an indirect societal benefit of $1,164 per person or $3,036 per household.

Over this same decade, law enforcement expenditures rose by $200 per person or $521 per household. Adding the direct and indirect benefits gives us a positive cost-benefit of $494 per person or $788 per household.

Put into different terms, the annual return on our investment is 42%. It sure beats the 2 – Rhyme or 5% I can get Reason from my other investments

Taking the analysis further and making some hard decisions about return could improve the results. As in the law enforcement example, you can evaluate the different subprograms in a similar manner to find those programs that are under-performing and pare the ex-

quit your job yet.

As best as I can deduce from the data available, the average salary is in the range of $45,000 per year with starting salaries in the $30,000 range. Keep in mind that these are extremely dangerous occupations as compared to your average “wall streeter.”

Your average private security professional (e.g., unarmed mall cop) makes average wages between $17,000 — $40,000 per year.

However, some of the better private positions make as much as $120,000 per year according to some of the on-line data I’ve seen. My best guess would indicate that a typical police officer (experienced, trained and certified) would be worth somewhere between $40,000 and $120,000 in the private sector (an average of $38.50 per hour).

On the benefit side, you have law enforcement professionals averaging 50 hours per week (yes, they work a 10-hour day standard). Doing “the math” gives us about 2 billion hours (737,000 X 50 X 52) of protection per year or about 6.4 hours per year for each person in the U.S. Assuming a reasonable private industry overhead rate of 2.0, the direct economic benefit would be around $500.

So, in the broad sense, we get $500 per person of direct benefit for $1,170 per person in costs.

Next let’s try and get a handle on indirect benefits. A fellow by the name of David Andersen, author of “The Aggregate Burden of Crime”, estimates the costs of crime to be in the neighborhood of $1.7 trillion dollars. This represents $5,667 per person in costs to society each year. It would take a decrease of 11.8% in this cost to negate the $670 per person gap in costs versus direct benefits.

So how do we assess the value proposition of a lower crime rate

To help celebrate Tryon’s 125th birthday, the Friends of the Polk County Library will present a guest speaker program featuring two authors with roots/ connections to Polk County on September 1 at 6 p.m.

Anna Pack Conner grew up in Polk County and taught high school business for 30 years, 24 of which were in Polk County.

She attended Stearns Elementary and Tryon High School and received her BS from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

Conner will speak about the two books she has published.

Her first book was published in 2000 as “Tryon: An Artist’s & Writer’s Sketchbook.” She regained the copyright in 2008 and republished the book as “Tryon: An Illustrated History.” Her other more recent book is “To Seem or to Be.” This book contains some of her poetry and short stories.

Hall received his doctorate in educational administration from the University of North Carolina.

He has had a variety of work experiences as a teacher, principal, minister, EMT, firefighter, drag racer and a pilot.

Hall will speak about the two books he has published, “Time Marches On” and “A Matter of Conscience.” The first is a story of the coming together of two families, the Halls and the Cochrans. These stories were orally passed down over the past one hundred years. His second book deals with how one man approached slavery and the Civil War on his own terms.

The public is invited to the program which will be presented on September 1 at 6 p.m.

Polk native returns as featured artist for ‘Praising in the Park’ This year’s featured artist at “Praising in the Park 2010” will be Polk County native Shaluandia (Lana) May Thomas of Washington, D.C. “Praising in the Park” has been set for September 25 at 4 p.m. in Tryon’s Rogers Park. Its organizers say they are expecting it to be a great family and community affair.

This is the third consecutive year for this event.

Lana started singing publicly at age 10. Adding to her repertoire, she later began to play the piano and became the musician for the Sunbeam Choir of the Green Creek Missionary Baptist. Thereafter she served as the musician for the Green Creek Community Mass Choir and other local choirs and groups in both North and South Carolina. After graduating from Polk Central High School in 1984, she studied aboard in Meximeux, France. Upon her return after that summer, she attended Kings College in Charlotte, N.C. Lana has performed background vocals and sung with some gospel greats such as John P. Kee, Yolanda Adams, and Vickie Winans. She is married to Stellar Award Winner and BMI Christian Award Winner Isaiah D. Thomas and the couple has three sons.

Lana now travels the country with her husband and sings backgrounds with the national recording artist Isaiah Thomas and the Elements of Praise. (www.Isaiahdthomas.com) Lana credits being raised in a Christian home with her late grandmother, Rev. Julie M. Twitty and Rev.Velma Logan for much of her success today.

She is traveling home for this event and says she is most excited about the opportunity to see old friends, former classmates, and family. She says she wants this event to serve as a big family reunion. Lana is the daughter of Mrs. Jennie Smith and stepdaughter of Mr.

Pearson’s Falls Hester water fountain rededicated August 16

For ticket information:

(828) 697-5884 hendersonvillesymphony.org

On August 16, the members of the Tryon Garden Club gathered to rededicate the water fountain at the Pearson’s Falls Glen. This water fountain was originally dedicated in 1953 to Minnie Hester, and had suffered the effects of time. It was restored to working order this summer.

Hester served as the chairman of the Tryon Garden Club committee that was instrumental in purchasing over 350 acres of Pearson’s Falls Glen in 1932.

During her years as a charter member of the Tryon Garden Club, Hester continued to be very active, serving as president in 1928. Along with other members she was instrumental in raising funds by having flower exhibits, special speakers and dinners in order to help pay off the Pearson’s Falls purchase of the glen. This was accomplished by the club in 1936, a span of only four years of intense fund raising TRYon HoUSE - page 59

by the group.

In 1939 Hester and her conservation committee organized the planting of hemlocks in the glen. And by 1951 the glen and falls had become such a popular destination that the club found that it was necessary to have a full time caretaker and gatehouse.

The Tryon Garden Club members said they wanted a tribute in Hester’s memory. The club raised funds to have a drinking fountain installed and dedicated in 1951. The dedication read “To Mrs. J.B. Minnie Hester who was one of the charter members, the first president of the club and a loyal and dedicated club member throughout the years.”

Garden club members say they are delighted that they have been able to refurbish and once again honor Hester with a working fountain.

Locals learn about poverty, class matters in Hendersonville workshop India Miller and T.J. Hurst, both of Polk County, joined Wanda Anderson and Paul Hanneman from the Urban Ministry Center in Charlotte, N.C., as they presented “Bridges Out of Poverty: Class Matters” in the parish hall at Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church in Hendersonville.

The one day workshop explored topics such as: “We cannot continue to support stereotypes and prejudices about the poor”; “Generational poverty and situational poverty are different”; “We can not blame the victims of poverty for being in poverty”; “An individual brings with him/ her the hidden rules of the class in which he/she was born”; “Poverty is relative”; and, “For our neighbors to be successful, we must understand their hidden rules and teach them the rules that will make them successful at school,

work and in the community.”

Miller and Hurst were sponsored at the workshop by a neighborhood grant from the Bountiful Neighborhood, Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (BnESCO). Close to 50 other participants from western North Carolina attended with many involved with Catholic Social Services.

Both Miller and Hurst have brought back to the community the basic tools necessary to help others understand the many dimensions of poverty and how to work to overcome the hardships associated with it. Hurst is a student this school year at Polk County Middle School and Miller helps her mother, Petey Wingo, one of the original Tryon Doll Makers.

Hendersonville Little Theater presents ‘Soup du Jour’ “Soup du Jour,” a musical comedy based on the book by Todd Mueller and Hank Boland with music and lyrics by Gregg Opelka, will open at Hendersonville Little Theatre.

It’s 1939 in New York City, and there’s a mystery at Bailey’s Restaurant - one of Gotham’s top dining establishments. It’s up to Katharine Hawks to solve it.

Across town, Stewart Bailey is mourning the death of his father while preparing for his imminent wedding to socialite golddigger Tiffany Vandervanden. Stewart has just inherited

his father’s restaurant, the success of which was built on its famous Soup du Jour. There’s only one catch - apparently Stewart’s father took the recipe with him to the grave, and Stewart - along with everyone else in the story - winds up searching wildly for the missing recipe.

Enter Katharine, the New York Herald-Tribune’s Pulitzer Prize winning ace reporter, who attempts to save the day. Sent undercover as a waitress to find the recipe, Katharine winds up losing her heart to Stewart.

Once she learns Stewart has lost

the recipe, Katharine is in a real dilemma - career or love?

Heather Denton is the director, with Nancy Colangione the assistant director. The producer is Charlotte Overbaugh, stage manager is John Sheehan.

Cast: Diana Kowatch as Katharine Hawks; Bob Reece as J.P. Thompson; Jason Denton as Stewart Bailey; Jonathan Forrester as Franklin; Molly Carlin-Folk as Tiffany Vandervanden; Paula Orr as Shelly DeCoco.

The show runs on September 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 12, 11, 16, 17, 18, and 19 with Thursday, Friday

and Saturday productions beginning at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees beginning at 2 p.m.

Telephone reservations open on Monday, August 23. The box offfice is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for ticket pick up and purchase beginning August 27.

For reservations call 828692-1082.

Invitations for Tryon Fall Classic Championships coming soon

LAND FOR SALE (10.7 ACRES)

sssm-037950

To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Fall Classic in Tryon, Classic Company will be mailing invitations on August 28 for the newly conceived 2010 Tri State Equitation Finals.

Held at FENCE, this year’s Fall Classic will run September 24 through 26. Created two decades ago by Bob Bell and Carol Kent, the Fall Classic is one of the earlier USEF A rated horse shows started in the tri state area, “It seems like just yesterday!” a sentimental Bell laughed, “Both Carol (Kent- also of Classic Company) and I remember when there were not that many equitation classes and the age group equitation was very important at our A rated events. We feel that while many riders are not traveling and spending as much money as they did in the past, we should still recognize their excellence at our Fall show in Tryon.”

Reviving a lost tradition serves a double purpose for Bell, “We’re also targeting the top equitation riders in the North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia regions who will move forward, to provide them an opportunity to tune up before the national eq finals - Washington International, Harrisburg, and the ASPCA Maclay. We want to afford every chance for these kids to do well.”

As to which age groups are eligible for this new championship, that would be all 11 and under, the 12 through 14, and the 15 through 17 equitation riders that are members of the North Carolina, South Carolina, or Georgia Hunter Jumper Associations.

Riders can qualify by being in the top 15 equitation rankings for any of the above associations and age groupings as of September 1, 2010. Those individuals will compete on Friday afternoon before a panel of judges who will score them numerically with the top six riders from each age section returning on Saturday

morning to compete for the championship title.

There are no entry fees for the competition. Bell said, “We just want to reward the hard work and achievement of these young riders. They have the talent to compete at Indoors, but given this tough economic time some may not be able to attend, and we believe they should still get their due recognition. For those riders who will be moving on to the big equitation finals this fall, we see this event as a chance to prep and for us to give them our support.”

Awards will include a Silver Loving Cup and special embroidered dress sheet presented to the winner and ribbons for first through sixth places. Further spotlighting of these victors will be their inclusion in a congratulatory ad run in “The Chronicle of the Horse,” coupled with a special press release from Flashpoint Media Services highlighting the winners and their mounts.

Completing the fall weekend escape for exhibitors on Sunday will be the annual farewell luncheon held at noon. Everyone is invited to gather on the hillside by the main hunter ring as the Classic Company staff dishes out some BBQ with all the trimmings.

Once again runners and cyclists can “Race to the Rock” at Chimney Rock at Chimney Rock State Park. The 5K run and 7K cycling time trail are set for Sunday, August 29 at 8 a.m. Both events are part of the 6th Annual Hickory Nut Gorge Olympiad and professionally managed by Set Up Events. The run is an Asheville Track Club Grand Prix Race.

Beginning in Chimney Rock Village and continuing up the park’s winding entrance road, the race finishes just below Chimney Rock, the ancient monolith which gives the park its name. While completing the race, averaging an uphill seven percent grade, is certainly reward enough, participants will also be treated to 75-mile views of Lake Lure, Hickory Nut Gorge and the Carolina Piedmont. Concessions after the race will be provided by the Chimney Rock Village Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary.

Spectators may watch the race’s finish, but must be in the park before 7:30 a.m. so the road is clear for runners and cyclists.

Advanced registration includes a commemorative Olympiad T-shirt (while supplies last). Register online at hickorynutolympiad.com.

Walk up registration will also be available beginning at 6:30 a.m. at the Old Rock Café in Chimney Rock Village.

Proceeds benefit charitable organizations in the Hickory Nut Gorge. In its five years, the Olympiad has given nearly $50,000 to local charities.

The Hickory Nut Gorge Olympiad is a four-day sport and community celebration.

Polk County Public Library Director Mark Pumphrey was elected to the OCLC Global Council at the June 25 meeting of the OCLC Americas Region Council in Washington, D.C. The Americas Region encompasses all of North and South America.

OCLC is a worldwide library network developed in the 1960s to aid and enhance all member libraries, and to provide training, cataloging support, interlibrary loan support, and other forms of resource sharing among libraries of all types around the globe. Its catalog, WorldCat, is the largest single library catalog in the world, and is the critical element in much of the resource sharing among libraries that is provided by OCLC. Each regional council represents member libraries throughout the region on issues regarding OCLC. Regions elect delegates to the global council at their membership meetings, to serve two year terms on the global council.

At meetings preceding each American Library Association conference, and at an annual meeting held in Dublin, Ohio, the home of OCLC, global council delegates meet to deliberate on issues of concern to OCLC members libraries and then to make recommendations to the OCLC executive board based on concerns identified.

In his role as a global council delegate from the OCLC Americas Regional Council, Pumphrey’s role will be to represent the interests and voice the concerns of all member libraries in North and South America at meet-

Dogs and their masters enjoy shopping, socializing and munching on gourmet doggie treats at a past flea market. (photo submitted)

Free dog-obedience training class at Mill Spring Flea Market The theme for the Saturday, August 28, flea market at the Mill Spring Ag Center is “Back to School.” The Ag Center is partnering with Thermal Belt Outreach and the Foothills Humans Society’s “On the Road Show” with guest Kayla Parrish of the Educated Horse and More conducting a free dog-obedience training class at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow morning.

TBO will be accepting tag sale donations at the flea market for their October sale held at the new Ag Center. They are also receiving ‘Back to School” school supply donations for distribution to low income students and their families. The Feed-A-Kid program will also be featured at TBO’s booth, accepting donations and educating visitors on the program. Other flea market vendors will offer specific back to school items in their booths like clothing, backpacks, shoes, sports equipment, books, supplies, computer furniture and electronic equipment.

TBO’s Feed-A-Kid BackPack Program enrolls eligible students to receive a “weekend” non-perishable food-filled backpack that helps foodinsecure children and their families get through the weekend, away from planned school meals. The enrollment at the end of the school year last June was 260 students. Based on the the current state of the economy (jobless claims rising again, etc.) and the increase in clients seeking assistance at Outreach over the summer, TBO anticipates even more students will be needing this program during

jbtrees - page 10

the upcoming school year.

Items needed for the Feed-AKid Program include single-serving boxes of cereal, oatmeal, milk, fruit juice, fruits, and applesauce, canned vegetables, dinners and meats, bags of beans and rice, muffin mixes, etc. A variety of snacks are needed including granola bars, Slim Jims, dried fruits, pudding cups, crackers, pretzels, etc. All items should be shelf-stable. No peanuts, no glass containers, and no candy.

School supply items needed at TBO include backpacks, wideruled and college-ruled paper, spiral notebooks, composition notebooks, #2 pencils, mechanical pencils, blue and black pens, large and small erasers, pencil boxes, pouches, colored pencils, markers, crayons, highlighters, rulers, pencil sharpeners, index cards, glue sticks, safety scissors, 1”, 2” and 3” binders, and tab dividers.

Foothills Humane Society’s “On the Road Show” is ready to send you home with your new bestfriend. Animals have been spayed or neutered, had all vaccinations, are micro-chipped and are ready for adoption on site. Dash, a boxer-mix, visited last month’s flea and has been adopted out.

Dollar hot dogs and other entertainment will also be on-site.

Flea market hours are from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Vendors set-up at 7 a.m. No early pull outs. Contact Carol Lynn Jackson at 828-8172308 to register to be a vendor.

Urgent need for blood donors Blood drives to be held in Polk County in September The American Red Cross Carolinas Blood Services Region has issued an urgent call for blood donors.

The Red Cross closely monitors national and local blood supplies to ensure donations are keeping pace with hospital need for blood products in order to meet ongoing and emergency patient care.

“There is a critical need for blood donors now,” said Joyce H. Brendel, chief executive officer for the Carolinas Blood Services Region of the Red Cross. “This summer we have had a particularly difficult time recruiting enough blood donors to meet the requirements of our community’s hospitals and the

Your

patients they serve.”

Meeting this need is particularly challenging since the extremely high temperatures have been keeping donors inside, most schools have not been in session to hold blood drives and the Red Cross is experiencing a high number of donors who are unable to keep their appointments. In the Carolinas region, the Red Cross has seen approximately 13 percent fewer donors than expected.

Donors with all blood types are needed, but especially those with type O negative. Red Cross officials say type O negative donors can make the difference between an adequate blood supply and a shortage. That’s because type O negative blood can be transfused to patients with any blood type, and is most readily given to patients in emergency and trauma situations.

Every day, more than 39,000 pints of blood are needed for patients in the United States.

Blood is used for the treatment of cancer patients, people with blood disorders, premature babies, transplant recipients, trauma victims and more. Each whole blood donation can help save up to three lives.

“We urge people to make and keep an appointment to donate blood now,” said Brendel. “Chances are, someone is counting on you right now for their very life.”

On Monday, September 13, the Polk Community Blood Drive will be held at Holy Cross Episcopal Church, located on Melrose Avenue in Tryon, from 12:30 to 5 p.m. Call 828-8942700 for further information or to schedule your appointment.

All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance

to win a $1,000 gift card.

On Friday, September 24, the Polk County Middle School Blood Drive will be held at 321 Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring. The blood drive will be held from 1 to 5:30 p.m.

Call 828-894-2700 for further information or to schedule your appointment. All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win a $1,000 gift card.

To schedule an appointment to donate call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org for more information. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission), meet weight and height requirements (110 pounds or more, depending on their height) and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

right on target

To the Editor: I just wanted to say I appreciate your excellent editorial in the August 18th Bulletin concerning the proposed new DSS building.

Your thoughts were right on target and should certainly help to clear the air about issues that have evolved from this matter.

Predesign construction cost estimates are indeed just what the term suggests. It is only after site selection is made and construction documents are finalized by the architects and engineers and issued for bids to multiple contractors can anyone know exactly what something is probably going to cost. Even then, there can be added costs if construction changes occur after the bid contracts are awarded and signed off on by the building owner.

I can tell you from first hand experience that opening and evaluating construction bids has always been a challenge to anyone who has ever been involved

in it. Any high or low bid that is totally out of line with the bulk of the bidding should especially be carefully inspected for oversight or padding by the bidder.

The urgency of the need for this building can be completely underscored for anyone who will take the time to visit the old St. Luke’s Hospital Building on Carolina Drive where our DSS employees and their clients are forced to work and visit. The building has many issues but the most pressing are the ones involving mold and mildew.

Before I retired, I was required by my engineering employer to take a hazard materials training course; part of which included the health and life threatening dangers of mold and mildew.

It was a sobering awakening for me and I immediately came home and inspected my own home for any signs of mold.

DSS provides a vital service to our Polk County community and is long overdue for a facility free of these health hazards and should not have to wait another day or election cycle to get started.

SJWD Water District breaks ground on water treatment plant The board of commissioners of the Startex, Jackson, Wellford, Duncan (SJWD) Water District, recently broke ground on a specialized pressure microfiltration system that is the first of its kind in South Carolina.

Prior to launching this considerable project, SJWD performed extensive pilot testing and evaluation of conventional filtration and membrane filtration technologies to determine the most appropriate filtration technology for the future demands of their customer base. While both technologies can provide treatment to adequately meet regulations, membrane filtration provides a higher degree of protection against microbiological pathogens and greater flexibility in treatment.

The improvements represent a compact and cost effective use of the available space on the existing water treatment plant site. The selected design utilizes many of the existing infrastructure components, thus negating duplication of facilities associated with a new facility in a different location.

By constructing the facility in its proposed location and utilizing technology to effectively

Mosquito troubles: more than just itchy bites The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) offers these tips for relief from mosquitoes during this summer season: • If you notice large mosquito populations near your home, see signs of mosquito breeding grounds or want to schedule a regular home inspection to ensure your home is mosquito-free, contact your local pest professional.

For more information about mosquitoes and other pest issues, visit www.pestworld.org and www.whatisipm.org. — NAPSI

monitor the treatment process, a lower number of employees will be needed to operate the facility. The equipment selected is intended to allow less maintenance and optimized water quality. In addition, the initial improvements provide a capacity of 4 million gallons per day, but allow for quick and inexpensive expansion to 8 million gallons per day of capacity.

Microfiltration membrane technology has been available for around 20 years, but has increased in popularity in recent years because of heightened regula-

tory requirements and the desire of many utilities to provide an increased level of treatment for pathogen removal. In addition, the more modern membrane fiber designs are compatible with oxidants that are commonly used as disinfectants. SJWD will have a total investment of more than $13 million in the plant expansion.

This cutting-edge technology implementation by SJWD is in keeping with the overall mission of the water district – to provide excellent quality water and related services to our current and future customers and lead efforts

to protect our water resources while continuously improving cost effectiveness.

The service area of SJWD covers approximately 128 square miles in western Spartanburg County. The service area stretches from Highway 417 in the south, to Highway 11 in the north, and from I-26 in the east to the Greenville County line in the west. As of January 2006, the district served approximately 20,000 accounts and a service area population of approximately 45,000 people. – article submitted

Sheriff Hill offers back to school school bus safety tips Every day millions of students use school busses as transportation to and from school. Although school buses represent the safest form of highway transportation, there are a number of safety factors of which both student and drivers should be aware. Hoping to ensure school bus safety, Sheriff Donald Hill of Polk County encourages caution whenever school busses are present.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an average of 10 school-aged children die in school transportation-related traffic crashes each year and more school-aged pedestrians have been killed between the hours of 3 and 4 p.m. than any other time of day.

“Children are often eager to get off the school bus because they are excited to tell their parents about

all of the fun they had at school that day,” said Sheriff Hill. “It is crucial that parents re-enforce the school bus safety rules children learn at school.”

Sheriff Hill also suggests that parents drive their child’s bus route with them to practice the proper safety precautions they can take to help ensure their child enjoys a safe ride to and from school.

Sheriff Hill encourages all parents to discuss the following safety measures with their children: Student: • Always arrive at the bus stop at least five minutes early.

• While the bus is approaching, make sure to stand at least three giant steps away from the curb, wait until the bus has come

to a complete stop, the door opens and the bus driver says that it’s OK to board.

• Always walk on the sidewalk when preparing to cross the street near a bus. Make eye contact with the driver so that you are sure he or she sees you.

• Never walk behind the bus.

• If you are walking beside the bus, walk at least three giant steps away.

• Use the handrail when entering and exiting the bus. Take extra precautions to make sure that clothing with drawstrings and book bags do not get caught in the hand rail or door.

• Never stop to pick up something that you have dropped when a bus is stopped. Tell the bus driver or wait until the bus has driven off to avoid not being seen by the driver.

Motorists: • Remember that children are unpredictable in their actions.

Take extreme caution when traveling in a school zone.

• If there are no sidewalks, drive cautiously. Be more alert to the possibility of children walking in the road.

• Slow down and prepare to stop whenever you see yellow school bus lights flashing.

• Never pass a school bus when there are flashing red lights and the stop arm is extended.

This is a sign that children are getting on or off the bus. Motorists must wait until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is withdrawn and the bus is moving before they can start driving again.

• Learn and obey the school bus laws in North Carolina.

the reader learns some of the consequences of unprofessional crime lab work.

Readers also learn that forensic science, while a great help in providing clues to help solve crimes, is not always appropriate for proving guilt in court. Sometime scientists, when presenting evidence, have to admit that they are not absolutely sure what the evidence proves. Their roles as scientists and advocates can conflict.

And, as the reader learns in “Spider Bones,” even identifications based on fingerprints or DNA matches with relatives are not foolproof.

North Carolina readers have an advantage. When they see the Lowery name and Robeson County, they may guess, before other readers, that John Lowery is a Lumbee Indian. They will be prepared for a little plot twist that depends on his Native American DNA. Is there a helpful lesson here for us, as North Carolina faces a challenge in rebuilding confidence in the SBI Crime Lab’s work?

“It’s an advantage in that they’re able to see what they do for four quarters, and they’re able to make adjustments,” said LHs head coach russell Mahaffey. the Class 3a Devildogs (0-1) may have had more adjustments to make than they had hoped after a 42-7 loss to Christ Church last Friday night.

CCes torched the travelers rest secondary for six touchdown passes in the loss. the CCes defense sacked sophomore quarterback Barron Morgan seven times, but Morgan still threw for 159 yards on 18 of 36 passing while at the helm of the Devildogs’ spread offense. “tr has some weapons,” said Mahaffey. “They definitely have some weapons.”

While travelers rest head coach rob searfoss got a look at his team in action a week ago, the Cardinals were finishing up their preseason at the Blue ridge’s ridge Jamboree.

Mahaffey is returning a seasoned group, including 17 starters and 26 letter winners, from last year’s 5-6 team, which finished second in region II-1a.

“I feel pretty comfortable about where we are right now,” Mahaffey said. “We’ve worked

hard this good preseason with some good scrimmages and jamborees. We’ve made some assessments and some changes, so I feel pretty comfortable about where we are.” among those returning are defensive captain antonio Barron, who anchors the defensive front and recorded 128 tackles last season for LHs, and wide re-

ceiver tyler Logan who averaged more than 26 yards per catch last season.

But he also said he is glad the preseason is finally over and the 2010 campaign is set to begin.

“We all are ready to play – coaches and players,” Mahaffey said. “You put in all that time and hard work, and this is your reward for it.”

the polk County High school football team comes into tonight’s home opener with a gaudy No. 2 ranking in NCpreps.com’s Baker’s Dozen Class 2a state poll, a season-opening victory at tuscola under its belt and a familiar opponent in Brevard. at least the name is familiar, but the Blue Devils looked far from the team that has won four conference crowns since 1999 in last week’s 48-0 loss to owen, the worst in team history.

But pCHs head coach Bruce ollis is choosing not to believe in a lack of hype for Brevard.

“Brevard has a very proud football tradition,” ollis said.

“I’m sure that Coach Bailey will have them ready to play. We always take the Knute rockne approach – respect your opponent.

“We played two very close games with them a year ago, and they have a good number back from that team.” pCHs defeated the Blue Devils 14-0 during the regular season and later topped Brevard 31-10 in the Class 2a state playoffs. In the playoff game, pCHs quarterback andre overholt went for 245 yards from scrimmage - 145 rushing and 100 passing. overholt has since returned from a broken arm suffered last football season and a fractured ankle suffered this past summer.

He shook off the rust to lead the Wolverines (1-0) to a 20-14 win at tuscola last week.

“In your first outing, you’re going to see some kinks that will

past week as tuscola converted on several third-and-long plays to sustain drives, including one that tied the game at 14-14 late in the fourth quarter. “overall, our execution needs to improve, but I was very pleased with our effort and the fact that we did not panic when we fell behind (7-0 in the first half),” said ollis.

One man's trash is another's treasure 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.

In order for it to be valid, the fact of the “advancement” needs to be documented, preferably in the will or trust of the giver.

For any of us who have driven around Polk County in the past month, it is apparent that kudzu has had a great summer. It has grown by leaps and bounds. It has covered houses, bridges and trees with a lush green carpet smothering everything beneath it. We all know how exponential growth works; this year’s kudzu growth is a tragic example of exponential growth when it gets to the higher numbers. And next year will be worse.

My mother, God bless her, was one of those folks who told me that kudzu can really “take over,” but she never had any suggestions or ideas about how to stop it. My mother spent hours every day pulling weeds in her yard, and kudzu is a weed of sorts, so I don’t know why she was convinced that kudzu was “beyond control.” I guess it’s the fact that kudzu does not give us the option of “putting it off” because it grows so fast in so many directions. Our problem is that we have “put it off” for so long that kudzu is way ahead of us, in the winner’s circle. and we are the losers. To pull ourselves out of the losers bracket will take a lot of hard work, for a long time, but it can be done. If kudzu wins the game, we’ll lose our trees, our native plants, forests and open spaces. In my opinion, that is not really an option that we can morally choose.

Kudzu vines can be pulled up by hand. The plant will die of we cut the crown away from the root (the crown lies just below the ground where the vine emerges).

This method is labor intensive, but you can do a little area at a time. The vines are fairly easy to pull away from the crown and root, and you actually kill the plant at this time and do not have to keep pulling year after year.

You do have to watch VERY CAREFULLY to make sure that you have not missed any crowns, for they will sprout out in a ‘New York minute’ and start growing 6 to 12 inches a day, putting down new shoots to make new

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A silent killer that seniors can prevent Dear Savvy Senior, Can you tell me about abdominal aortic aneurysms? My father died from one about nine years ago at the age of 76, and I’m wondering how that may increase my risk. What can you tell me?

Feeling Fine Dear Fine, While you don’t hear much about them, abdominal aortic aneurysms are extremely dangerous and the third leading cause of death in men over 60. They also tend to run in families, so having had a parent with this condition makes you much more vulnerable yourself. Here’s what you should know.

Silent Killer An abdominal aortic aneurysm (or AAA) is a weak area in the lower portion of the aorta, which is the major artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. As blood flows through the aorta, the weak area bulges like a balloon and can burst if it gets too big, causing lifethreatening internal bleeding. In fact, nearly 80 percent of AAA’s that rupture are fatal, but the good news is that more than nine out of ten that are detected through screenings are treatable.

The problem with AAA’s is that – because they usually start small and enlarge slowly – they rarely show any symptoms. That is why screening is crucial. The most common symptoms, however (with enlarged AAA’s), may be a throbbing, or pulsation in the abdomen, or sometimes abdominal or lower back pain occurs.

Who’s At Risk?

Around 200,000 people are

Savvy Senior diagnosed with AAA each year, but studies suggest that 1 in 20 Americans age 60 and older (over 2 million people) may have an AAA and not even know it. Here are the factors that can boost your risks: • Age: Your risk of getting an AAA increases significantly after age 60 in men, and after age 70 in women.

• Gender: AAA’s are five to 10 times more common in men than in women.

• Family history: Having a parent or sibling who has had an AAA can increase your risk to around one in four.

• Smoking: Ninety percent of people with AAA’s smoke or have smoked. This is the number one risk factor and one you can avoid.

• Health factors: Atherosclerosis also known as hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure (140/90 or higher) and high cholesterol levels also increase your risk.

Get Screened The best way to detect an AAA is to get a simple, painless, 10-minute ultrasound screening test. All men over age 65 that have ever smoked, and anyone over 65 that have a first-degree relative (father, mother or sibling) who has had an AAA should be tested.

Talk to your doctor about your risks and getting screened.

You should also know that Medicare covers a one-time, free AAA screening to new enrollees.

The screening, however, needs to

be done within the first 12 months you have Medicare Part B. Men who have smoked at least 100 cigarettes during their life, and men and women with a family history of AAA qualify for the screening.

Treatment The treatment for an AAA will depend on the size of the aneurysm, its rate of growth and your general health. If caught in the early stages when the aneurysm is small, it can be monitored and treated with medication.

However, if it is large or enlarging rapidly you’ll probably need surgery.

Savvy Tips: To learn more about AAA, visit findtheAAAnswers.org.

Also, check out Legs For Life (legsforlife.org, 800-488-7284), a national program that offers free AAA screenings in September in hundreds of locations nationwide, and the Society for Vascular Surgery (vascularweb.org) which provides a listing on their website of two-dozen health care facilities that provide free AAA screenings. Life Line Screening is another convenient resource to check into. This is a private company that travels all over the country offering AAA screenings for around $50 per test. To find an upcoming screening in your area visit lifelinescreening.com or call 800-449-2350.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
