Tryon to tackle kudzu problem againby Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon is again discussing ways to eradicate kudzu. This time, the town wants to get the community involved.

Tryon Town Council talked about the kudzu problem at its meeting Tuesday, March 15. Be-cause most of the kudzu is located on private land, council members looked at ways to help property owners tackle the problem.

Councilman Doug Arbogast, who requested the item be placed

on last week’s agenda, asked if the town can create an ordinance requiring property owners to remove kudzu. Town attorney Bailey Nager said an ordinance wouldn’t be appropriate unless kudzu is on structures. He said some owners couldn’t afford to take measures to eradicate kudzu on their property.

Councilman Austin Chapman said many in the community are willing to take care of areas, with a recent effort being done

in Gillette Woods. Chapman said he’d like for the town to assist individual efforts, such as allowing property owners to burn the kudzu once it is taken down.

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis said property owners can burn kudzu if they have a permit. He said his department would be glad to assist in any way, such as having a truck on location during burning.

Street art in TryonElena Greve, 1-year-old daughter of Scott and Jessica Greve of Columbus, takes a break from contributing her chalk artwork to Melrose Avenue in Tr yon during Super Saturday held March 19. Warm, sunny weather brought out crowds of families to the annual event, also called the Children’s Theater Festival. Magicians, musicians, stor ytellers, actors, jugglers and more performed at four stages in downtown Tryon. A parade featuring a costume contest took over Melrose Avenue at 12:15 p.m. Face painting, Chinese paper cutting and origami were just a few of the activities available on the streets.

Council also reviewed in-formation about using goats to control kudzu. Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said he asked Polk County Cooperative Extension Director John Vining to provide estimates on goats.Vining responded that it costs approximately $625 per year per acre for goats. That cost includes the goat rental and $125 for fencing and costs for a farmer to transport 10 goats.

“The only problem with goats is that they don’t kill it,” said coun-c i lman Wim Wo o d y. “ I t comes back.”

Tryon rented goats a couple of years ago and placed them on a kudzu-filled acre at the corner of Carolina Drive and South Trade Street. The goats ate the kudzu, but in a few months the kudzu grew back.

Hembree said in order to be effective, goats have to come back for three years in a row.

In the last effort, the goats were placed on the town’s acre for about six weeks and did not return. In order to completely eradicate kudzu, Hembree said, goats have to stay the six weeks and come back around the same time every year for three years.

“If it’s done three years in a row the animals get to the bulb and kill it,” Hembree said.

Hembree said one of the problems with using animals to eradicate kudzu is they clear the area, but areas outside the target area also contain kudzu and eventually the outside area grows into the area cleared by goats. He said what needs to be done if goats are chosen is to have them eat one area, then move to other areas until the frost comes, then

bring them back the next year to start over. The best time for goats to clear kudzu is from the spring through the fall.

Chapman said a lot can be done with people pulling kudzu. He said the Gillette Woods As-sociation recently formed a com-mittee and met for about three hours on Glenwalden Circle and cleared it.

“You’d be amazed what 36 hours will do for a kudzu patch,” Chapman said. “Private citizens are willing to tackle the issue.

We have to get the private property own-ers involved.”

C h a p m a n suggested the town come up with policies and ways the town can sup-port efforts.

C o u n c i l also discussed how Tryon’s ter-rain prohibits some ways kudzu can be cleared. Sprays can’t be used around any type of water source and some higher areas may be difficult to access.

Arbogast said the whole county needs to get involved and each area may have a differ-ent solution between chemicals, goats and people.

Council directed Hembree to look into ways to eradicate kudzu and to contact neighborhood as-sociations to discuss beginning programs.

The Saluda Community Land Trust has begun a program in Sa-luda to eradicate kudzu. Efforts are being undertaken in a couple of areas, including the former city dump, where the land trust plans to construct a greenway and walking trail.

Tryon council also mentioned talking with the Saluda Com-munity Land Trust to get ideas as well as former Tryon Council-man Jim Scott, who spearheaded kudzu eradication efforts in Tryon a few years ago.

Relay for Life gears up for April fundraiser at PCHSby Leah Justice

Area residents are invited to take part in Relay for Life, the largest fundraiser for the Ameri-can Cancer Society, which will be held Friday, April 29 at the Polk County High School stadium.

The event will begin with an opening ceremony at 6 p.m. Area cancer survivors are then invited to walk the first lap around the track.

Teams of individuals from local schools, churches, busi-nesses and other organizations will participate in the event. Teams have at least one mem-ber on the track at all times, walking to represent the fight against cancer. Teams also have campsites around the field where they offer food, games and other activities as fundraisers. Enter-tainment is provided throughout

the evening.A ceremony will be held

around 9 p.m. in which candles will be lit in memory of those who have lost the fight against cancer and in honor of those still fighting cancer.

Relay for Life is a commu-nity event and is family-friendly. The event is alcohol and tobacco free and pets are prohibited.

Organizers say they want to

encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the fun, food and fellowship while helping to raise money in the fight against cancer.

Food vendors, inflatable slides for children and an ani-mal petting area are among the activities that will be lined around the track.

The event will conclude at 12:30 a.m. with a closing cer-emony.

Welcome to the

Hanukkah & Kwanzaa

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight can-dles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews. When the Jews would not worship the pagans, Epiphanes raided and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. After seven years of fight-ing, Maccabee regained control, and the Temple was restored. The famous story states that only a small vial of oil was found to light the eternal lamps, yet they were blessed and burned for eight days, giving the Jewish people enough time to acquire more oil for the lamps. The symbolic lighting of the menorah occurs at sundown for the eight days during Hanukkah. Children also trade gifts and play with games and toys, such as a driedel. Special foods, such as fried potato cakes and fried donuts, are served during Hanukkah. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Professor Maulana Karenga, a Black Studies professor from California State University in Long Beach, California. Kwanzaa is a celebration of the African family and culture. It begins on December 26 and ends on January 1. The name Kwan-zaa comes from the Swahili term which means “first fruits of harvest.” Much like the menorah of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa has seven symbolic candles lit each night symbolizing aspects of the culture. Each night, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa-- unity, self-determination, col-lective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith--is discussed. Kwanzaa is also represented by seven symbols--crops, a mat, a candleholder, the seven candles, ears of corn, gifts, and the Kikome Chad Umoja (The Unity Cup).

It’s sprIng AgAIn! Spring is one of the four seasons that we experience here on Earth; the others are summer, winter, and autumn. The beginning of spring is marked by the vernal equinox. An equinox is the only day of the year in which both day and night are the exact length of time. In the Northern Hemisphere, we expe-rience the Vernal Equinox (or first day of Spring) around March 21, while they experience the first day of the fall season in the Southern Hemisphere. This occurrence is due to the fact that the sun is passing directly over the equator which happens only twice a year. Many cultures in history have not only marked the Vernal Equinox as the start of spring, but as a time for celebration. The original Earth Day celebra-tion was on the Vernal Equinox, but it is now observed on April 22. Easter also coincides with the Vernal Equinox, since it is celebrated during the first full moon after the Equinox. If the full moon falls on a Sunday, it is celebrated that day. In Japan, it is a national holiday. Also on this day, many family gath-erings are held, and gravesite visitations are made. Spring is also recognized for the new life it brings. When the cold winter weather dissipates, plants and animal life bloom, or “spring” forth, hence the name of the season. The season is often portrayed by bright colors, because new flowers are in full bloom. Many baby animals are born at this time. It is also known as a time when people clean their homes and discard them of clutter, a practice known as “spring cleaning.”

You will need: string, ribbon, news-paper, tape, scissors, and two wood-

en dowels or sticks. Step 1: Tie the two dowels together in a cross shape, making the vertical piece longer. Then tape string along the edges

to create a diamond shape. Step 2: Now lay the diamond on top of a large piece of newspaper. Trim the

excess paper off, leaving about 3 inches around the edges. Tape them down.

Step 3: At the bottom corner poke 2 holesin the paper. Tie the end of a 3 foot piece of string around the dowel. Then cut 6” long ribbon pieces and tie

them in bows every 4 inches or so. This Step 4: Now you must attach the

guide strings. Cut two strings two feet in length and tie one on each side of the

exposed horizontal dowel. Then tie them together at the ends. This is your bridle. Then attach a very long string to the end of the bridle. If you want, you can deco-

rate the kite with bright spring colors, and you are ready to fly it!

It’s sprIng AgAIn! Spring is one of the four seasons that we experience here on Earth; the others are summer, winter, and autumn. The beginning of spring is marked by the vernal equinox. An equinox is the only day of the year in which both day and night are the exact length of time. In the Northern Hemisphere, we expe-rience the Vernal Equinox (or first day of Spring) around March 21, while they experience the first day of the fall season in the Southern Hemisphere. This occurrence is due to the fact that the sun is passing directly over the equator which happens only twice a year. Many cultures in history have not only marked the Vernal Equinox as the start of spring, but as a time for celebration. The original Earth Day celebra-tion was on the Vernal Equinox, but it is now observed on April 22. Easter also coincides with the Vernal Equinox, since it is celebrated during the first full moon after the Equinox. If the full moon falls on a Sunday, it is celebrated that day. In Japan, it is a national holiday. Also on this day, many family gath-erings are held, and gravesite visitations are made. Spring is also recognized for the new life it brings. When the cold winter weather dissipates, plants and animal life bloom, or “spring” forth, hence the name of the season. The season is often portrayed by bright colors, because new flowers are in full bloom. Many baby animals are born at this time. It is also known as a time when people clean their homes and discard them of clutter, a practice known as “spring cleaning.”

excess paper off, leaving about 3 inches around the edges. Tape them down.

Step 3: At the bottom corner poke 2 holesin the paper. Tie the end of a 3 foot piece of string around the dowel. Then cut 6” long ribbon pieces and tie

them in bows every 4 inches or so. This Step 4: Now you must attach the

guide strings. Cut two strings two feet in length and tie one on each side of the

Consignment shop, remanufactured ink and toner business open; First Citizens names McCool VP

The Carolina Foothil ls Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting recently for a new business and a new chamber member, New for You, ReUse-It Shop, located at 687 N. Trade St., Tryon.

The shop has everything from furniture, antiques and books to kitch-en items, jew-elery, lots of clothing and shoes and a coffee shop. The donations and purchases help support the Hannah House, a home for wounded women who receive shelter and counseling at Door of Hope Ministry.

For more information, call the shop at 828-859-6236 or the chamber at 828-859-6236.

***First Citizens today an-

GeralDmccool

said Jay Bland, retail mar-ket executive for Spartanburg. “His deep understanding of the bank’s retail sales strategy will support and grow our retail client base, and he will be an in-valuable asset moving forward.”

A native of Tryon, N.C., McCool earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from West-ern Carolina University. He cur-rently resides in Landrum.

***Steve and Ava Burney, own-

ers of Medicap Pharmacy, at 80 Shuford Road, Columbus, have opened a new business, Foothills Ink and Toner, inside the pharmacy.

The new business uses the all-in-one Cartridge Expert automated retail inkjet refill-ing system manufactured and installed by the Cartridge Ex-pert Company. The Cartridge Expert guides operators through

simple step-by-step instructions to remanufacture most popular inkjet cartridges, including HP, Lexmark, Dell and Canon.

The Cartridge Expert allows

has been promoted to assistant vice-president and retail sales manager for First Citizens’ Landrum office, located at 144 Trade St. in Landrum. In this role, McCool will be responsible for maintaining and growing personal and business client re-

lationships for the Landrum market.

M c C o o l has more than 10 years of

banking experience. Prior to his promotion and subsequent relo-cation to the bank’s Landrum of-fice, McCool was a relationship manager at the bank’s Hillcrest office in Spartanburg. Before joining First Citizens, he served as a manager of personal and business banking at RBC Bank.

“Throughout Gerald’s bank-ing career, he has established himself as an industry leader,”

processing of up to 10 inkjet cartridges per hour. This gives the operator flexibility when it comes to processing individual inkjet cartridges.

In addition to being able to refill many inkjet cartridg-es on site, Foothills Ink and Toner offers a wide selection

of 100-percent guaranteed re-manufactured inkjet and ton-er cartridges by request.

According to Steve Burney, one of the main founding prin-ciples behind Foothills Ink and Toner is to institute programs that will benefit local commu-nity and charity organizations.

B u r n e y said, “One of our major ini-tiatives is to involve com-munity and

charitable organizations in col-lecting cartridges from their members. We will refill them for a price that is up to 50 percent less than buying a new cartridge, and provide a cash rebate back

to the organization for each car-tridge filled. It’s a way for the individual to get a great deal on a product they are using anyway, while supporting the organiza-tions that are important to them.”

As a special introduction, Foothills Ink and Toner is offer-ing to fill two inkjet cartridges for the price of one.

Saluda Tour of Homes to raise funds for city hall renovationThe Historic Saluda Com-

mittee will sponsor a Tour of Homes on Saturday, June 4 from 1 – 5 p.m., as part of Saluda’s 130th Anniversary Celebra-tion and as a fundraiser for the renovation of city hall. Historic Smith Hill has been chosen as the site of the tour. There will be six houses on the tour, all within walking distance of each other.

Tickets will be available at city hall in Saluda. Parking is available at the First Baptist Church at the corner of Caro-lina and Henderson streets and shuttle vans will be available to take you to Smith Hill for the tour.

In 1914, Dr. D. Lesesne

Smith of Spartanburg started the Infants’ and Children’s Sanitarium in Saluda as a place where “anxious parents could get skilled attention, careful diet and treatment for their suffering children during the hot sum-mer months.” Dr. Smith’s wife owned two houses in Saluda so he had a base from which to operate. Dr. Smith also had under his care the Spartanburg Baby Hospital, established in the same year.

From an original eight-room cottage, the sanitarium grew to 12 cottages, a central dining room, a diet kitchen, an assem-bly hall and examination and treatment rooms. Dr. Smith,

along with Dr. Frank Howard Richardson of New York and Black Mountain, returning from a meeting of the Southern Medi-cal Association, decided that general practitioners needed to be trained in childcare. From the hospital in Spartanburg and the sanitarium in Saluda grew the idea of a Southern Pediatric Seminar, where from 1921 – 1959, it is estimated that between 3,000 - 4,000 doctors from all over the country and several foreign countries came to Smith Hill in Saluda to study the latest in pediatrics during two weeks every summer.

When the seminar closed in 1959, the property was divided

among Dr. Smith’s four children. Some of the buildings were torn down, but the ones that remain are now permanent homes and all but one on the tour are still owned and now lived in by granddaughters and other rela-tives. The houses have all been restored in the last five years.

The Historic Saluda Commit-tee was formed in May 2010. Its primary focus is “to preserve Saluda’s past to protect its fu-ture.” The committee is working on an Oral History Project and assisting with fundraising for the restoration of city hall.

Lady Cards softball comes back to beat Chapman 4-3by Joey Millwood

The last time Landrum soft-ball played Chapman, it wasn’t pretty. The Lady Cardinals lost that matchup 14-2 to the 3A rivals down the road.

“We told each other before the game to let the last game go,” Landrum junior pitcher Jordan Farmer said.

They let it go and came away with a 4-3 victory on Thursday night, but there was drama until the last pitch. That was evident in the first inning.

Farmer drew a walk to start the inning. Lauren Pitts followed with

a single. That’s when Bre Cuff hit a bomb over the left-centerfield fence to put the Lady Cardinals up early. Cuff is Farmer’s catcher and the two are best friends off the field.

“I didn’t think it was going out,” Cuff said.

Those in attendance had no doubt as the stands roared at the sound of the bat.

Chapman rallied around pitch-er K.K. Cheek, scoring three runs off of Farmer in the fifth inning. The Lady Panthers knocked on the door in the top of the seventh, but the Lady Cardinals’ defense

Wolverines trounce Cougars in conference opener 12-0by Daniel Hecht

Polk County’s quest for a third straight conference cham-pionship began in earnest Friday night as the Wolverines paid a visit to Burnsville to take on the Cougars of Mountain Heri-tage. Twelve unanswered runs later, Coach Ty Stott’s squad had emphatically served notice to Western Highlands Confer-ence foes that the road to the title this season will once again run through Columbus.

Wolverine pitching contin-ued its domination of opposing batters, holding the Cougars to just three hits on the evening. Roberto Taft took the mound to start the game and gave up just two hits in five innings, striking out four while walking three. Alec Philpott pitched the last two frames in relief, allowing just one more base hit and preserving the shutout. Polk’s stingy pitching staff has allowed no runs and a paltry four hits in the past 14 innings.

Polk catcher Rooster Ross contributed another solid game behind the plate, including gun-ning down the first Cougars base runner attempting to steal second.

“Right there, they’re not go-ing to try and steal any more bases,” said Stott, adding, “You throw them out, they’ll stop try-ing. That takes their aggressive-ness away from them and really changes the rest of the game for their offense.”

Another defensive high spot for the Wolverines (now 3-1 on the season) was the play of Joel Booker in center field.

“Joel’s just very solid out there in center,” commented Stott. “He made about three plays and made them look routine. They weren’t routine, but he made them look that way.”

A key to Polk’s success, claims Stott, is the ability to take the wind out of an oppo-nent’s sails.

“They’re trying to get some-

thing going, and they finally hit one hard, and we’ve got someone sit-ting there waiting on it when it gets there and it really shuts them down.”

The Wolverine offense was led by Booker, who went 2 for 2 for the game, including a triple and a two run home run blast in the fifth. Booker reached base safely in all four trips to the plate. Rooster Ross delivered big in the third, lining a base hit to left-center with bases loaded and two outs, scoring two and putting Polk up 4-0. Tyler Ridings, filling in at the leadoff spot for Andre Overholt, reached base three times on a single and two walks, and stole a base as

shut the door for Farmer. In the bottom half of the sev-

enth, the Lady Cardinals wouldn’t be denied. Sydnie Brown started the inning with a walk. Taylor Jenkins followed with a single. With two strikes, Farmer hit the ball into left field to drive in the winning run for Landrum (4-3, 2-0).

The Landrum defense faltered some, but the team’s ability to come back won the game.

“We’re gonna make mistakes,” head coach Tucker Hamrick said, “but the whole defense came back. I’m so proud.”

well to cap a clutch pinch per-formance.

Polk’s conference play sched-ule resumes today, Tuesday, March 22, at home versus Mitch-ell.

While heart disease remains the number one killer of Ameri-cans, there is less fear about hav-ing heart-related illness than there is about receiving a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.

There are many reasons that heart disease may concern us, but most don’t dramatically raise our fear levels. Most of us know that heart disease, in many cases, is preventable and treatable. So go-ing to the doctor for simple tests and related exams often gives us a head start on knowing about, pre-venting or treating heart disease.

That’s not the case with Al-zheimer’s disease – at least not yet.

Alzheimer’s disease remains an incurable brain disease that cannot be 100 percent accurately diagnosed, particularly in its ear-lier stages, because its signs and symptoms often mask or mimic other physical or mental problems such as depression, small strokes or prescription drug reactions.

Today, neurologists and physi-cians who treat dementias such as Alzheimer’s do a very good job of diagnosing the disease, but there is room for error and therefore, improvement.

Confirmation that a person has Alzheimer’s disease can only be totally assured by analyzing samples of brain tissue of a pa-tient, and that can only be done after the death of the patient, during an autopsy. However, that

New Alzheimer’s drug for diagnosis on horizon

may soon change.Stated very simply, Alzheim-

er’s disease is caused by plaque build-up in the brain, analogous to cholesterol building and blocking vessels to the heart.

In the case of Alzheimer’s the plaque interferes with the brain’s ability to send signals and information from one part of the brain to another part of the brain or to various nerves and muscles throughout the body.

For instance, if the brain’s s t o r a g e a r e a for memories of families and names of people is blocked by plaque, it may have the infor-mation you need and want, but cannot access the path to get the information out.

The net result is the patient saying, “I can’t remember” but the truth is that the connections between parts of the brain are blocked by plaque in the brain.

To treat any disease, an ac-curate diagnosis is needed, and one of the tools we have available today to help diagnose changes in the brain is a radiology tool called a PET scan, a machine that takes digital images of the brain. The problem has been that there hasn’t been a way to highlight plaque specific to Alzheimer’s disease to absolutely confirm that diagnosis, particularly in early stages – until

recently.In January, an advisory com-

mittee to the Food and Drug ad-ministration reported on findings submitted by Avid Radiopharma-ceuticals, makers of a dye that specifically highlights the plaques caused by Alzheimer’s.

The advisory committee ap-proved the use of the dye in conjunction with a PET scan to enable the scan to show the char-acteristic plaques of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain of a living

person. Remember,

plaques are part of the criteria for having Al-zheimer’s — if a person with

memory problems does not have plaques, that person does not have Alzheimer’s. But without the scan, the only way to know if plaques are present is a post mortem autopsy.

This new dye is great news, but before being approved by the FDA there remain months of testing and establishing the pro-cedures for radiologists agreeing on what the scans say as well as training doctors in how to read the scans. But in most cases, the FDA does follow the advice and recommendations of its advisory committees.

Future use of these scans could be very valuable in diagnostic situations when it’s not clear

whether a patient’s memory prob-lems are a result of Alzheimer’s disease or caused by something else. If a scan shows no plaque, the problems are not caused by Alzheimer’s and could be from tiny strokes or other diseases.

Unfortunately as of today, if a person has Alzheimer’s, there are few treatments that can slow the progressive nature of the disease and none that can reverse or cure it. There is a great deal of world-wide research under way looking for new drugs that are intended to reduce plaque and for treatment of the disease.

With over 5 million Ameri-cans currently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, and almost 80 million baby boomers turning senior over the next 18 years, we can expect to see the number of Alzheimer’s cases skyrocket.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a simple procedure to de-finitively diagnose such a fright-ening disease? Let’s hope that Avid’s new PET scan dye passes its final tests and is approved for diagnostic purposes by the FDA very soon.
