Tractor-trailer accident slows I-26 traffic

A tractor-trailer flipped on I-26 at about 9:45 a.m. on Friday, March 25, knocking down a section of guardrail. Eastbound traffic was reduced to one lane for several hours as emergency personnel worked to clear the accident. No injuries were reported in the incident.

Saluda Medical Center one option for uninsured medical careby Samantha Hurst

After a night of deep rooted cough-ing and congestion uninsured Polk resident Debbie Bell didn’t experi-ence the distress others in her position might.

Instead she knew she could seek medical assistance even without an insurance card to brandish at the

receptionist window. Bell for the last 20 years has been a

patient of the Saluda Medical Center. She first sought treatment there when she had insurance but learned the center’s true value after losing her industry job years later.

“It’s a godsend, it’s a relief. I got Medicaid for the kids but I’m in that age group where you don’t qualify for anything. You just pray you don’t get sick,” Bell said. “It felt great to not

Correction/ClarificationThe sub-headline of an

article that ran on the front page of the March 15 Bulletin should have said two face charges of kidnapping and armed robbery in reference to the arrests of Jamie Joseph Powell and Brittney Christine Sloboda. Shannon Thomp-son Metcalf and Angela G. Horton were charged with receiving stolen goods over $2,000 in value but were not charged in connection with the kidnapping and armed robbery of a home invasion in Landrum earlier this month.

have to rush to the emergency room, which is what a lot of people do for their primary care.”

According to the County Health Rankings 2010 Snapshot of Polk County (www.county-healthrankings.org/print/north-carolina/polk), 24 percent of Polk County’s adults under age 65 live without insurance compared to 17 percent for North Carolina. Polk County’s updated baseline measure of uninsured individu-als for that same age range cur-rently sits at 21.2 percent, which remains higher than the state average.

St. Luke’s Hospital in Co-lumbus served 2,350 uninsured or underinsured patients in its emergency department during fiscal year 2010.

Hospital spokesperson Kathy Woodham said that amounts to a loss of $1,783,154.30 for the hospital just in emergency room visits. Costs accumulate beyond

that when a patient is admitted, she said. All services related to uninsured or underinsured patents surpassed $2.5 million last year, according to hospital records.

It’s not just the loss to the hospital that concerns Woodham.

As chair of the Polk County Wellness Coalition, she said lack of medical care is high on their list of priorities.

“As a group of volunteers committed to making a differ-ence, the coalition recognizes there are people in our county who need primary care but lack insurance coverage or means to pay for basic services. Thanks to some federal funding, we’ve been able to provide a safety net for primary care and medications,” Woodham said. “No matter what your income, or lack of, health education, early intervention or better yet, prevention are more cost effective to individuals and society as a whole.”

Polk Wellness Coalition mem-bers want to see the patient load

at Saluda Medical Center in-crease from 10.5 percent of the county’s uninsured population to 16 percent by July 2013.

Saluda Medical Center cur-rently serves about 230 uninsured patients, while the estimated

24 %

17 %

number of uninsured residents with no primary care home is 2,350. The increase to 16 percent would cover 418 individuals.

land said her staff sees two to three new patients a day.

She wants to increase that number as well, even as funds continuously hang in the balance because of state budget cuts.

“Until I came here, I didn’t know what my calling in life really was,” Copeland said. “I believe we can truly help people get the medical assistance they so desperately need.”

Copeland said a week ago two male patients came in for appointments who never knew the center provided help to those without insurance. Both men presented pro-longed issues with either hy-pertension or diabetes, prob-lems Copeland and her staff see on a regular ba-sis in patients who have gone years, if not de-cades, without stepping foot into a doctor’s office.

Copeland chalks this up to a combination of lack of insurance and lack of education.

A not-for-profit 501(c)(3), the Saluda Medical Center opened in 1974 via a community-led effort to provide healthcare and health education.

The center falls under the auspices of the North Carolina Office of Rural Health and Com-munity Care, which provides funding. Patients receive finan-cial assistance for their medical bills based on a sliding scale up to 200 percent of the federal poverty level with the amount of assistance received determined by the number of people within the family unit and the amount of income available for that family, Copeland said.

Copeland explained the cen-ter’s breakdown of patients as 30 percent Medicare, 30 percent Medicaid, 30 percent uninsured and 10 percent insured.

Bell has required the center’s care at times when she’s had insurance and times when she hasn’t.

“You still worry about the catastrophes but for the little stuff – the coughs and the colds, the small aches and pains I’m not sure about – [the center has] been such a blessing,” she said. “I had been off and on, employed and unemployed, and they’ve worked with me.”

The center provides all the typical services a family practi-tioner might, Copeland said, as well as a few extras such as mole removal, treatment for ingrown toenails, suturing, EKGs for irregular heart beats and well-

woman exams including pap smears.

Staff mem-bers also facili-tate prescription assistance for more than 800 people within s u r r o u n d i n g communit ies regardless of state or county lines. The pro-gram was es-tablished about

a decade ago to connect those in need with pharmaceutical compa-nies that provide assistance and often free medications.

The medical center helped Bell receive five of her prescrip-tions through the assistance program, even alerting her when one of her medications recently fell under the program when it had not before.

Bell said the paperwork for some drug programs appeared so monstrous in the past she wouldn’t even attempt to apply for them on her own.

“I don’t have to look into any of [the paperwork or require-ments for each drug company’s assistance programs]. They take care of it for me,” Bell said.

Copeland said the program uses MARP, a high-tech software program, to track the number


“You still worry about the catastrophes but for the little stuff… [the Saluda Medical Center has] been such a blessing. I had been off and on, employed and unemployed, and they’ve worked with me.”

of people receiving medication, when said medication is due for renewal and the amount of money provided via medication vouchers.

This program then seeks out which company provides as-sistance for a patient’s needed medication and supplies that patient with an application form to be sent by mail to the applicable company.

Many of their patients now come through needing assis-tance with medications, some which can run from $50 a month to more than $100 with-out insurance coverage.

Copeland said last year the center assisted in obtaining medications worth $4,653,705 in retail costs. They also pro-cessed more than 15,300 re-quests for medication.

Polk County’s Wellness Coalition works to educate the staff of St. Luke’s Hospital and DSS about free or reduced services currently available to residents who might come through their doors. Someone then connects with those resi-dents to direct them to services

that might benefit them. Through the Coalition’s

Access to Care team, patients who are un/underinsured are identified and directed toward primary care providers that receive funding through the Community Care of Western North Carolina (formerly Ac-cess II Care). Approximately $100,000 in state funding has been committed to Polk County to provide primary care and prescription assistance to low-income, uninsured Polk County residents.

In addition, Access to Care has twice secured the Men’s Baptist Dental Bus to provide basic dental needs to Polk County adults. The team is also working with Saluda Medical Clinic to bring the N.C. Farm Bureau Mobile Screening bus to Polk County later this spring.

The Farm Bureau bus will provide blood pressure screen-ings, blood glucose checks, dexa scans to measure bone mineral density, lipid screen-ing, dietary counseling and some ultrasounds at no cost to patients seen. Copeland said she hopes 200 people will be able to be seen through the mobile unit when it comes.

sports Polk softball upsets top-ranked Swain County 4-2by Daniel Hecht

In the most highly anticipated game of the season, the Lady Wolverines played host Thursday, March 24 to Swain County High School, the top ranked 1A team in the state.

The powerhouse squad from Bryson City rolled into Columbus with an imposing resume. The Lady Devils have traveled to the state championship tournament in each of the last five years, boast three players hitting over .600, and have, in senior Shelby Parker,

a future Division I college pitcher on the mound. At the very least, Swain was expected to give Polk its first major test of the season.

In a surprise move, Swain head coach Toby Burrell opted to start his number two pitcher, Richelle Jenkins, in place of staff ace Parker. As Burrell explained after the game, the strategy behind the decision was based on how best to counter Polk County’s of-fensive style. Jenkins, a drop-ball specialist, figured to match up

well against the Lady Wolverines’ bunting, slapping method of play.

Polk ace Jamie Hrobak, fresh off of her perfect game perfor-mance against Mitchell, started strong, retiring the first three Swain batters on strikeouts, and after Alyssa Montgomery singled to drive home Amber Lynch in the bottom of the first, the Lady Wolverines found themselves with a 1-0 lead.

After a scoreless second frame, Swain’s offense came to life. Leadoff hitter Nikki Cody legged out an infield hit, followed by a Brittany Shuler single to left. Two batters later, Parker, hitting from the number five spot, lashed a double down the left field line past the outstretched glove of Kara Garvin, and the Lady Devils found themselves on top by a score of 2-1.

Swain’s lead quickly evapo-rated in the bottom of the third, however, as Cassie Couch stepped to the plate with two out and launched a booming double into

deep left field, scoring Lynch to knot the game at 2-2.

Following a base hit by Garvin, Shea Wheeler stepped up and stroked a single to right center, scoring Couch from third. After Garvin scampered home on a wild pitch, Polk found itself back on top after three.

Though Swain ace Parker relieved Jenkins in the fourth and held Polk scoreless for the rest of the game, the damage had already been done. The Lady Devils were unable to score again against a tenacious Polk defense, which closed out two of the final three innings on double plays, and the game ended with the Lady Wol-verines on top by a score of 4-2.

“I was really proud of how our girls responded with runners on base,” said Polk head coach Jeff Wilson, citing in particular the excellent defensive play of Lynch, Montgomery and Hrobak.

The Lady Wolverines im-proved to 7-1 on the season, as Hrobak notched her 36th career win, striking out 11 while walking just one.

Byrd pleads guilty in Gillette Woods break-in caseSentenced to four months in jailby Leah Justice

One person who was arrested earlier this month on charges in connection with a Gillette Woods robbery in Tryon pled guilty last week.

Karen Phillips Byrd, 38, of Chesnee, S.C., pled guilty to re-duced charges in Polk County District Court on Wednesday, March 23.

Byrd pled guilty to two counts of possession of stolen goods and

was sentenced to 120 days in jail. The original charges included felony larceny, breaking and/or entering and one count of posses-sion of stolen goods. Byrd will be given credit for time she has already served.

John Jacob Kessler, 42, of Hendersonville is still in custody at the Greenville County Detention Center for the same Gillette Woods robbery, as well as several others in the Lake Lanier and Gillette Woods area that occurred in February. Kessler has been charged by the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office

with grand larceny, three counts of second-degree burglary and one count of petit larceny. Kessler will also face the same charges as Byrd for the Tryon break-in following the Greenville County charges.

No court date has yet been scheduled for Kessler in Greenville County.

Kessler is accused of breaking into homes at Lake Lanier and Gillette Woods in February. The crimes occurred during the day when no one was at home. Items taken included mostly jewelry. Neighbors began talking about the

break-ins and a silver Honda with different license plates was identi-fied as a suspicious vehicle.

One victim also knew Kessler, and when the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office and Tryon Police Department began searching Kes-sler’s name in South Carolina pawn shops, some of the stolen items were recovered, according to Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arrowood. Kessler was arrested on March 1 in Greenville County.

Law enforcement officials cred-ited area residents with helping to solve the case.

Local artist Susan Grimley will share her paintings and ex-periences in a show, “Pastels are NOT Pastel” at the Lan-drum Library on Fri-day, March 32 (aka April Fool’s Day) from 4 - 5:30 p.m. Her paintings will be on display at the library during the month of April.

Pastels are not as well known as oil paints or watercol-ors. They come in a wide range of colors, not just pastel shades, and allow the beginner to select a color and begin to draw or paint without worrying about mixing and matching or han-dling a brush.

Retired from the library a few years ago, Grimley credits

Pastel painting by Susan Grimley. (photo submitted)

her teachers, Dale McEnitre, Bill Ryan and Emmie Lou Grimley, as well as her con-stant and best art sponsor, her husband Erving Boggs, for giving her their support and knowledge. She says it’s never too late or too early to start learning to “read” with a paint-ing or drawing tool, as well as

with the eyes.“Pastels are a wonderful way

to enjoy art. Try to draw or paint what you see around you in your own back yard or further afield and you will discover more than what you thought you saw before,” says Grimley.

This area has many art class-es and workshops, those at

Isothermal Community Col-lege and Tryon Arts Center, to name only a few. The libraries in Spartanburg and Polk Coun-ties have a selection of good art books and instructional DVD’s for the beginning art student, like “Pastel Workout” by Jackie Simmonds.

New promotional video coming to Landrum’s websiteby Leah Justice

The City of Landrum is cur-rently working on a video for its website centered on the city’s slogan, “There’s more to do in Landrum.”

Landrum City Council dis-cussed last week a video to be placed on the city’s website at www.cityoflandrum.com. The video will focus on the city's beauty and attractions and will be designed to draw more visi-tors.

City administrator Steve Wo-lochowicz said the video will

show a lot of illustrations of the town and the area, with cameos from residents.

The video, which will be ap-proximately three to five minutes long, will cost the city $2,500. The money will come from hospitality tax funds.

Synergy Point, the city’s website providers, are handling the video.

The video will be approxi-mately three to five minutes.

It is not known yet when the video will be complete to be placed on the website.

EmaiLiNg a picturE to thE tdb?

A few tips…• Lighter and more contrasting subjects and backgrounds will

print better than subjects and backgrounds with similar hues. When possible, keep the background clean and simple, not too cluttered.

• Focus on the people in your shots – zoom in on them so that their expressions can be seen. When possible, show people doing things rather than lined up facing the camera.

• High-quality (100 or 200 dpi) .jpg formats are preferred, be-tween 3 and 6 inches wide.

• When you email the photo, if at all possible, please include in your email the names of all the people in your photo, identi-fied from left to right. Photos without names are less likely to be published.

Thanks for your submissions… see you in the paper!

Let color be your guide during National Nutrition Month

While the trees may be bare in March, there are still plenty of colorful and nutritious foods to fill your plate. During the 2011 National Nutrition Month, St. Luke’s Hosptial encourages everyone to add color and nu-trients to your meals through this year’s theme: “Eat Right with Color.”

“Adding a splash of colorful seasonal foods to your plate makes for more than just a fes-tive meal. A rainbow of foods

creates a palette of nutrients, each with a different bundle of potential benefits for a health-ful eating plan,” said Nancy Selvey, one of two registered dietitians at St. Luke’s Hospital.

“Healthy eating includes more than counting calories alone. In fact, most children don’t get enough of all the es-sential nutrients critical to nor-mal growth and development,” said Selvey.

“Food variety supplies dif-ferent nutrients, so to maximize the nutritional value of your meal, include healthful choices in a variety of colors.”

Selvey offers ways to bright-en up your plate in every season with this quick color guide.

The Columbus Water Department will be flushing hydrants from March 28th – April 8th, from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. The Public Works De-partment will start on Overlook Drive and end at Morgan Chapel Village. Residents may experience some dis-coloration and interruption of water. adv. 3/28,29,30

watermelon. Vegetables: beets, red onions, red peppers, red potatoes, rhubarb and tomatoes.

White, tan and brown foods sometimes contain nutrients that may promote heart health and reduce cancer risks.

Fruits: banana, brown pear, dates and white peaches. Veg-

etables: cauliflower, mush-rooms, onions, parsnips, tur-nips, white-fleshed potato and white corn.

Selvey recommends choos-ing a variety of colors when shopping for seasonal fruits and vegetables. “And for ad-ditional options in the color palette, choose frozen or dried fruits and vegetables available throughout the year,” she said.

“Instead of grilled chicken and mashed potatoes, consider painting a more colorful plate, such as grilled chicken topped with salsa, mashed sweet po-tato, asparagus and spinach salad with orange slices. A col-orful meal is not only visually appealing, but it also contains a variety of nutrients and is quite flavorful,” Selvey said.

Maureen Smith and Dexter present Lions programThe Columbus Lions recently

invited Maureen Smith and her guide dog, Dexter, to tell about their experiences as graduates of the Southeastern Guide Dog program. Ever since Helen Keller challenged Lions to become “knights to the blind,” Lions throughout the world have made it their mission to help the visu-ally impaired. One way they do this is through their support of guide dog programs and for North Carolina Lions.

Smith told how she had lost her vision – not all at once, but gradually – as a result of a car accident a number of years ago. As her vision problems became more acute, she decided to apply for a guide dog and learned it was preferable she train while she still had some vision. After arriving at Southeastern, she met Dexter, a half yellow lab and half golden retriever, and began their month-long training session.

Smith and Dexter were har-nessed together 24/7 as they prac-ticed the 40 commands Dexter had learned in his prior two years of training. Not only did they expe-rience visiting libraries, hospitals

maureensmiThanDDexTer

and airports together, but also they had to cross eight lanes of traffic on one of the busiest highways in Tampa.

Lions understand they are not to pet a service dog when he is working, but said it was very dif-ficult to resist Dexter. Fortunately, Smith removed Dexter’s harness after the pre-sentation and he then joyously greeted ev-eryone. When one of the Lions comment-ed on the strong bond between Smith and Dexter, she laugh-ingly said, “If he could drive at night, I’d marry him.”

Internationally, Lions have pledged to eliminate all avoid-able blindness in the world and have invested over $343 million toward that goal. Locally they pay for eye exams and glasses for those who can’t afford them and give special care to Polk County’s

visually impaired. If you would like to learn more about being a Lion and what they do in the community, call Pat Recker at 828-894-2615. The Columbus Li-ons meet at 6:30 p.m. on the first and third Thursdays at Calvert’s Kitchen. Visitors are welcome.

The Bridle Bunch 4-H Club competed in the state horse bowl and hippology contest, placing sixth out of 14 teams. In addition, Bradley Kay placed sixth high individual in horse bowl and Carson Kay placed sixth high individual in hippology, potentially earning them both a spot on the national team. Horse bowl is a competition where 4-H members sit at buzzers. A facilitator asks a question and the first person to buzz in and answer correctly earns a point. An incorrect answer loses a point. Hippology is a written test that tests your knowledge of horses. Front: Kaylie Jennings; back (from left): Abbie Jennings, Jessica Spurling, Bradley Kay and Carson Kay. (photo submitted)
