Benefit planned to repair Landrum woman’s condemned homeby Leah Justice
The Landrum community is banding together to help a Landrum grandmother keep her home.
Ida Mae Wright has lived in her N. Trade Avenue home since 1970 and is now faced with either fixing the aged home or losing it.

Fabulous 4th Bike Tour July 4Tour fundraiser for Thermal Belt Rotary Club of Tryon
The 27th annual Fabulous 4th Bike Tour is scheduled for Sunday, July 4. This event is the primary fundraiser for the Ther-mal Belt Rotary Club of Tryon. All of the profits from the event are donated to worthwhile chari-ties in the area.
The profits from last year’s event were in excess of $10,000. The money went to Boy Scout Troops 150, 155, and 659, Steps to Hope, Red Cross, Harmon Field, Polk County Youth Foot-ball, Polk County Rescue Squad, Thermal Belt Amateur Radio Club, Polk County 4H Clubs, Tryon Fire Department, ARC of Rutherford, books for 4th grade students and scholarships at Polk County and Landrum High Schools.
The tour will begin with a mass start at 8 a.m. at Harmon Field in Tryon and will cross two states and four counties before ending back at Harmon Field. The 2010 route will be the same as the previous year.
Approximately 500 riders are expected to participate in this event. Members of the lo-cal Amateur Radio Club will be providing emergency com-munications from mobile and stationary locations along the route. The Polk County Rescue Squad will assist with a mobile medical unit, and sweep vehicles will pick up disabled riders along the entire route.
Riders may pre-register for the Fabulous 4th Tour by completing an application online at www.fabulous4thbiketour.org. Onsite registration will begin at 6:30 a.m. on the day of the tour.
The tour route was originally designed and organized in 1983 and the first ride was in that year. It has since grown to be one of the most popular short tours in the southeast with more than 5,400 feet of cumulative climb-ing with both long hills and short steep ones.
Early sponsors for the event include Nature’s Storehouse, Prince Companies, Quiksolve So-lutions LLC, Medicap Pharmacy, Macon Bank, Bill Andersen, Jim and Jean Scott, Pete and Ann Crandall, and more.

Columbus Lion Fran Goodwin stands with the gas grill to be raffled at this year’s Fabulous Fourth celebration tomorrow. The Lions Club will once again be sharing a booth with the Town of Columbus. The Lions will be collecting used eyeglasses and hearing aids, and selling brooms to support Blind Industries.

The Silver Travis band (www.silvertravis.com) will perform from 8:30 - 9:45 p.m. The group was originally formed in Spar-tanburg, S.C. in 1981, playing their originals songs and covers of the Marshall Tucker Band and
the grim news they contained. She now has 30 days to begin work on the porch or she’ll have to vacate the property.
Landrum City Administra-tor Steve Wolochowicz said the house was condemned be-cause the city is concerned about Wright’s safety. He says the city welcomes the community help-ing Wright to fix the problems.
Landrum has given the family 30 days to get permits for con-

Lynyrd Skynyrd. The band broke up in the mid 80s, but in 2005 reunited to record its first album, "One Monkey Don't Spoil the Show.” In 2009 the band released its second album, “Take The High Road.” Silver Travis is a little bit country and a whole lot Southern rock with some fine ol’ blues tossed in for good measure. 5K run
An addition to the festival this year will be a 5K run sponsored by Ross Fox, who hopes it will be an annual event. The run will be-gin at 8 a.m. near the courthouse in downtown Columbus.

“We’re concerned about her safety; that’s the only reason we’ve done this,” Wolochowicz says. “Due to the condition of the deck and roof, if something is not done quickly, something could happen to her.”
At 77 years old, Wright says it’s all she can do to pay the bills

and buy her medication on her fixed income, much less renovate the house.
“If I’d had the money I would have fixed this place,” Wright
said, “but it’s all I can do to pay the bills on what I draw.”
A benefit is being planned for next Saturday, July 10 at the Celt-ic Tavern off U.S. 176 between Landrum and Tryon. “Banding Together for Grandma” will fea-ture bands playing from 2 p.m.
until 7 p.m. and karaoke until 11 p.m. to help raise money.
A Facebook message and You-Tube video posted this week by one of Wright’s granddaughters "went viral" quickly, with more

Following are a few of the many comments made about Ida Mae Wright and her family on the Extreme Makeover Home Edition discussion board:
"Extreme Makeover, This sweet lady is what your show is all about. There are so many people in the community that would come help out if you could just lead us in the right direction. She is a very sweet lady who would give you the clothes right off her back. Let's show this family just how loved they are."
"I have known this family all my life and I think if anyone deserves this it would be this family. I have seen this wonderful woman work and give to others and get nothing in return. She is a wonderful woman. Please give this family what they really deserve.… This family has lost a lot in the past and I feel they
deserve to receive something now .""Usually we see shows about big families need-
ing more room, but this just a single lady, who has gave her heart, soul and blood for her family. As with many of the true 'Landrum families' money is not laying around for extras or emergencies, and home repairs have always been the very last thing money could be spent on. Nails or food – food wins for the family. This gracious grandmother has done the best for her family, her home and her town. It is time to help someone who doesn't need a big new house with more rooms and more toys but someone who needs a little security, a little comfort and a lot of compassion for her last years! Step up to this one and take care of those who have taken care of so many before!"

than 400 people having viewed the video just one day after it was posted.
The YouTube video shows Grandma sitting on her porch answering questions asked by her granddaughter, Angie Crummie, who has spearheaded efforts to help her grandmother. In the vid-eo, Wright says tearfully that she doesn't want to lose the house she raised her family in. She says she doesn’t owe anything on the house, but she doesn’t have any mon-ey to fix it and doesn’t have anywhere else to go.
To see the video on You-Tube, visit http://www.you-tube.com/watch?v=ZBPKa-siOYg&feature=email.
The family has also sought help from the television show, "Extreme Makeover Home Edi-tion," whose website had about 60 comments about the Wright family on its discussion board as of Wednesday. Family members say they realize chances are slim that "Extreme Makeover"
would take the case, especially considering the time restraints, but last week they didn’t know where to turn.
Crummie says her grandmoth-er did everything for her kids and grandkids, and many family members have lived there at some point in their lives. Messages on Facebook and on the "Extreme Makeover" website say Wright would give anyone the shirt off her back. They also comment on
the memories her house holds for many in the community.
T h e f a m -ily says peo-ple have been stopping by the house all week, volunteering to help with re-pairs. The fam-
ily says the help is there and they are so thankful. Now they are just seeking funding to get the project behind them.
It's important to relieve Wright of the stress of the situation, her family says. Wright has suffered two strokes in recent years and also suffers from arthritis and diabetes.

Save the house that built usTo the Editor:
My grandmother's house in Landrum was condemned last Wednesday. My grandmother cannot read or write, so the first notices she received were discarded. It was condemned because of the condition of the roof and the front porch.
The house is over 130 years old. My grandmother and grandfather bought it in 1969. My mother and her three broth-ers, two of which have passed, were raised in this house. My grandpa also passed while liv-
Letter to the Editoring there.
The estimate we received from the contractor to fix it was $35,000. No one has that kind of money. This house means the world to my grandmother, her children and grandchildren. We are doing everything we can but it is not enough. We have 30 days to start repairs and 90 days to rebuild.
As time goes by quickly we grow sadder as we face the facts. We need answers and we need help. We’ve contacted a great deal of organizations and have been unsuccessful so far.
This house is my family’s hearth and foundation. Tell us how to save the house that built us.

Crummie said.The family says they have no
hard feelings towards the city, because they agree the house needs to be repaired.
Wright, who has lived in Landrum since 1958, says she dearly loves the city and doesn’t blame officials for condemning the house.
Wright and her husband, Lee, bought the property in 1969 and kept it up until Lee died 18 years ago. Wright had four children, whom the couple raised in the house, and 20 grandchildren, all of whom at some point have also lived in the house. Wright also has about 50 great-grandchildren.
“All of the grandkids at some point have lived here,” Crummie said. “When there’s no place to go, there’s always grandma’s house.”
Crummie and Wright said the house is full of memories. Wright remembers her husband, who loved to read, sitting on the porch in the summertime reading, drinking coffee and listening to the radio.
“This house has so many memories,” Crummie said. “It’s just amazing some of the stuff that went on in this house and that’s just in the last 40 years. There’s no telling what went on before that.”
The Wright family has deeds to the house that date back to around 1915, but the family has been told it was originally built in the late 1800s. The two-story home has three bedrooms downstairs, and the upstairs is no longer used. Its one bathroom was built onto the back porch sometime before the Wrights bought the house.
Wright retired from Milliken’s Hatch Plant in Columbus, where she worked for about 15 years. Before that, she worked for South Carolina Elastic Company for about 18 years. Her husband worked much of his life at Lan-drum Mills.
“Back then we lived from week to week,” Wright said. “We didn’t have any money to
• Grandma(Continued From page 8)
put back.”Wright says one of the prob-
lems of the house is that it sits right next to the railroad tracks, and when trains ran, the house shook with every train. Wright was hit by a train while driving across the crossroads just up from her house in the 1970s and says the train is not something she misses today.
Wright says she is over-whelmed at the support she has seen this week from the com-munity, both from people she knows and many she has never met before.
“I appreciate everybody for what they’ve done to help me,” Wright said. “There’s still some good people. And I have the sweetest granddaughters that ever lived. I just don’t want to lose my home. We worked too hard for this little piece of land to lose it.”
A bank account has been set up at the First Citizens Bank in Landrum. Donations can be made to the “Wright Donation Fund” by mail or in person at 144 N. Trade St., Landrum, S.C. 29356. Donations can be taken only at First Citizens locations in South Carolina.

Booze It & Lose It: Operation Firecracker campaign over weekend
The Governor’s Highway Safety Program announced that state and local law enforcement officers will be out in force over the Fourth of July holiday weekend as part of the 2010 “Booze It & Lose It: Operation Firecracker” campaign. Check-points and stepped-up patrols will be in place across North Carolina through Sunday, July 4, in an effort to remove im-paired drivers from the roads.
“Our law enforcement of-
ficers will be working hard to stop impaired drivers and ensure the safety of motorists traveling on our highways,” said David Weinstein, director of the GHSP. “Driving while impaired is never worth the risk, and everyone should celebrate responsibly.”
Over last year’s Indepen-dence Day weekend, there were 120 alcohol-related crashes resulting in six fatalities and 105 injuries.
Officers charged more than 1,300 North Carolina motorists with driving while impaired during the 2009 “Booze It & Lose It: Operation Firecracker” campaign. More than 4,800 stepped-up patrols and check-points were conducted.
For more information regard-ing “Booze It & Lose It,” or for citation totals, visit the GHSP website: http://www.ncdot.gov/programs/GHSP.

Connected with the ConstitutionFormer ‘Ironsides’ commander’s site to join Library of Congress archivesby John Clayton
Tryon resident and retired U.S. Navy Commander Ty Mar-tin took over command of the famed U.S.S. Constitution in 1974, and the two have been connected ever since.
Martin, who began research on the Constitution upon taking her helm and has since published a book on her as well reams of historical data on the Internet, is recognized as a leading expert on the U.S.S. Constitution. His web-site, which he calls “The Cap-tain’s Clerk,” has been selected for inclusion in the Library of Congress’s relatively new “web
Ty marTin
archive” database.“It wasn’t really in-
tentional,” Martin said of the nearly 40-year connection he has had with the ship that earned the nickname “Old Ironsides” for her naval victories in the War of 1812. “At the time, the Constitution was not a big command – I had commanded two de-stroyers before that, so it wasn’t very challenging, and I was looking for something to do.”
The U.S. Navy was also preparing for the country’s bicentennial celebra-tion in 1976 and the Constitution was about to undergo a multi-million dollar makeover.
That’s when Martin, who began his military career af-ter graduating from Rochester
(N.Y.) University’s Navy ROTC program in 1952, discovered that the restoration project was about to get under way without a clear direction.

So began his research into the history of America’s most famous and revered ship, which has since become the official Ship of State by Congressional decree.
“I found out that the people working on the ship didn’t know much more about her than the average person walk-ing around out there,” Martin said. “I started the research and basically gave them the infor-mation to make an informed decision.”
After putting together enough historically accurate information on the ship itself and a plan for its restoration and upkeep, Martin said he mailed off a letter to the Secretary of the Navy.
That plan was approved and is still protocol for the ship’s upkeep and staffing.
“Instead of these crash pro-g r a m s t h a t w e r e b e i n g done where you come in and try to do everything at once, my idea was to do the work the way it was done in 1812…. .I get great satisfaction knowing that it’s still the policy for her.”
Martin put his knowledge to use in 1980, publishing “A Most Fortunate Ship,” a book about the Constitution in 1980.
His database moved from the filing cabinet to a computer in 1986 and then online in 1998 when “The Captain’s Clerk” was born with the help of local webmaster Robin Michael.
The Library of Congress noticed it earlier this year as administrators of its web-archive pilot program sought themes for inclusion in the database through some 60 recommending officers. One of those recommendations was “The Captain’s Clerk.”
“Since 2000, we have tracked sites relating to events such as elections, Hurricane Katrina and 9/11, but now we’re expand-
ing to other thematic archives with this pilot program,” said Abbie Grotke of the Library of Congress’s Web Archiving Team. “The idea is to take the recommendations of our officers to include websites focused on a theme in their areas of inter-est.”
Those sites are very often the ones used that Library of Congress re-searchers use to help them find informa-tion they need. T h e r e c o m -mendation for
“The Captain’s Clerk” came from the Library of Congress’s humanities and social sciences division.
Grotke said she expects “The Captain’s Clerk” to be included in the library’s web archives, where it will be available in toto and for public consumption, sometime next year.
Martin said he will be adding more information to the site be-fore then. After its initial inclu-sion, the web archiving team will archive “The Captain’s Clerk” every six months to capture any new information.
Martin said there is much more to be added.
“I have a lot more informa-tion that we’ve got to get to,” he said. “The more I dig into it, the more interesting it gets…. I get closer to the people who have served on her.”

A matter of honorLandrum man makes sure step-father’s service, sacrifices as POW not forgottenby John Clayton
After four years of cutting through red tape, Spencer Bum-gardner saw his mission ac-complished this past Friday, June 25.
Through the efforts of Bum-gardner, who has retired back to his hometown of Landrum, his stepfather and World War II POW, T.J. Willard has his rightful place on a monument recognizing area POWs at the Veteran’s Administration Hos-pital in Asheville.
“As soon as I saw that plaque I told (VA staffer) John Cowart that I wasn’t going to rest until Daddy’s name was on that wall,” said Bumgardner.
Willard’s name was added to the plaque in a small ceremony
attended by family members, including Bumgardner, son Jeff Willard, daughter Carolyn Ter-rell and great-grandson Logan Putnam. David Grant, a former U.S. Air Force aviator who had been shot down over North Vietnam and taken prisoner, also attended on the 38th anni-versary of the day he was taken captive.
“I was honored to have (Da-vis) there,” Bumgardner said. “I’m sure that was a day of reflec-tion for him.”
But Willard, who died in the early 1970s, was not there to be honored.
“I wish he had been around to see this,” said Bumgardner

of Willard. “I wish he’d been around to see his grandkids and great-grandkids.”
Willard was part of some 70,000 U.S. Army and Filipino soldiers defending the Bataan Peninsula in April of 1942. Ill-supplied, malnourished and battered, the U.S. forces sur-rendered on April 9 and were forced on a brutal 60-mile trek inland to Camp O’Donnell that became known as the Bataan Death March.
Thousands of soldiers died or were killed while being subjected to abject cruelty and torture by the Japanese forces. Others died in deplorable conditions in POW camps.
But Willard, who eventu-ally ended up held in Manchuria alongside Gen. Jonathan Wain-wright, survived – and it was his participation in the Bataan Death March that led to his inclusion on the plaque.
Bumgardner had attempted unsuccessfully to verify Wil-lard’s status as a POW, but was turned down by government representatives, despite having the telegram sent to Willard’s

mother notifying her of Wil-lard’s capture.
“As soon as I mentioned that he was in the Bataan Death March, (his name) popped right up,” Bumgardner said.
Despite no record of his time as a POW, Willard, a native of Green Creek, did gain mention in Wainwright’s autobiography. He was the fellow-POW who notified Wainwright, a Medal of Honor recipient who had been forced to surrender following the fall of Corregidor soon after Bataan, that the war had ended and the Soviet Army had liber-ated Manchuria.
Bumgardner’s biological father died when Bumgardner was five years old and soon

thereafter Willard became the youngster’s stepfather.
“I remember thinking that I finally had somebody to call ‘daddy’ again,” Bumgardner said. “He was always good to me.
“I just needed a father figure. He probably had more influence on my life than his own kids, just because I was older.”
Bumgardner himself entered the U.S. Army shortly after his high school graduation in 1966 and served in Vietnam in 1966-67.
“What I went through there is nothing compared to what (Wil-lard) went through back then,” Bumgardner said.
“He taught me at a young age that you can survive and do anything as long as you never give up.”
Tryon to test emergency siren tomorrow at noonby Leah Justice
The Town of Tryon will be testing its emergency siren to-morrow for the first time in decades.
The town will test the siren this Saturday at noon. The siren should go off for a four min-ute cycle and should be heard all over Tryon and parts of its township.
Tryon decided recently to reinstate its signal for emergency situations. The siren is located at the top of Tryon Town Hall and hasn’t been used in many years. Current town officials are not certain when the town last used the siren or when the siren was first used, but one resident during a recent meeting said she remembered it going off in the 1940s. Others said they remem-bered hearing the siren last in the 1970s or early 1980s.
The idea of reinstating the town’s siren was brought up by Tryon Councilman Austin Chap-man, who said the town should have some sort of warning sys-tem for residents during certain situations. Tryon Fire Chief Joey
Davis applied for grants to buy a new system for approximately $10,000, but was not awarded any grant funds.
The town approved using the siren along with a policy for its use in April. The policy says the siren should only be activated in situations where a tornado has been visually confirmed and/or a tornado warning has been issued as well as other situations such as threats to national security. The town’s siren can be activated by the town’s emergency direc-tor, town manager, fire and po-lice chief, the shift supervisor in charge of the police department and the assistant fire chief.
Saturday’s siren will be one of four annual tests. The town has agreed to do tests on the siren the first Saturday of every January, April, July and October.
When the town’s siren is activated in the case of an ac-tual emergency, residents should tune into television or radio for information and take immedi-ate shelter from the perceived danger, according to the town’s policy.

No Columbus funding for next year’s Fabulous 4thby Leah Justice
Tomorrow’s Fabulous Fourth of July celebration could be the last town funded celebration for a while. Columbus Town Council approved last week a budget for the new fiscal year that included no funding for next year’s festival.
Zambelli’s, which contracts with the town for the annual fire-works show, told officials the town can cancel its contract for next year. Council decided to wait until the first of next year to cancel the contract in hopes that someone will volunteer to pay for the fireworks. The town pays $9,000 for the fire-work show.
If no one steps up, the town says it will cancel the contract in January.
Council members say they still want to hold a festival, but they want to turn the festival back into the hands of the community, inviting
people to play music and inviting vendors such as churches to come and sell homemade ice cream.
The town doesn’t pay for the rides and makes a profit off a per-centage of sales, but it covers other expenses, including the fireworks, port-a-jons, golf carts, police, pub-lic works and clean-up costs.
The town spent $31,650 last year on the annual festival. Al-though it receives some revenue and donations, the revenue is never enough to cover the costs.
The town's decision to cut Fabu-lous 4th costs next year was one of the major budget cuts made because of the economy and deficits in the town's water and sewer fund.
Tomorrow’s festival will run as usual; the town has $13,650 in the new budget to pay the remaining costs of this year's event.
The town’s new fiscal year be-gan yesterday.

News reports say outgoing Rep. Joey Millwood’s exit from the S.C. House of Representatives was not a quiet one.
The Spartanburg Herald-Jour-nal reported Thursday that Mill-wood was involved in a heated verbal altercation with Rep. Steve Parker moments after the House adjourned. Millwood, who was defeated for the District 38 seat in a run-off with Landrum’s Doug Brannon in the Jan. 22 Republican primary runoff, had just been hon-ored with a resolution thanking him for his two years of service.
Millwood reportedly followed the reading of the proclamation with a speech reiterating some of his positions and suggested that some of the Spartanburg delegation, including Parker, disagreed with the spirit of the proclamation.
Moments later, Millwood ac-cused Parker of working against him in the District 38 Primary.
“I mentioned to him, ‘Steve, I know what you were doing to me in
the race. And I know the leadership knows, and a lot of other people know,” Millwood told the Herald-Journal. “Then he called me an arrogant S.O.B. — but he said the words — and said something about if I’d gotten along more with the delega-tion, we wouldn’t have done that.”
Millwood said Parker told him the two could “take it back to the of-fice” for a physical confrontation.
Parker denied to the paper that he had threatened physical violence and that he used obscenities. He also said he did not work against Mill-wood during the GOP primary.
However, Rick Beltram, Parker’s campaign manager and former Spar-tanburg County GOP chairman, told the Herald-Journal that he did work for Brannon.
“Parker had no involvement in Millwood’s race,” Beltram told the newspaper. “I did, but he didn’t. I think they’re blaming Parker because I was involved. I gave (Millwood’s opponent, Doug Bran-non) money. I put up signs. And I’m proud of it.”

Blue Ridge Parkway section reopens for July 4 weekend
A majority of residents surveyed in Western North Carolina support “responsible wind energy develop-ment” in the mountains, according to researchers at Appalachian State University.
Dennis Scanlin, a professor at Appalachian State University and coordinator of the university’s Appropriate Technology Program, says two surveys conducted this spring found residents do not support a pro-posed 100-foot height restric-tion that would effectively ban commercial wind turbines in the region. Most com-mercial turbines are at least 200 feet.
The most recent poll of 629 Western North Carolina residents found 61 percent think the height limit is overly restrictive.
Last year the N.C. Senate ap-proved a bill that includes the height limit for new wind turbines in the mountains. Legislators from the mountain districts cited con-cerns about the impact of turbines on mountain views, tourism and real estate. The bill has not been approved yet by the N.C. House.
Boone was previously home to the largest wind turbine in the world. The turbine, built by the federal government in 1978, rose 130 feet on a mountain near Ap-palachian State University. The turbine stood there only about five years before residents complained that it made a vibrating noise and interrupted television signals. The turbine was taken down and the area was transformed into a park.
Marcus Taylor, a research as-sistant at Appalachian State Uni-versity's Wind Application Center, says wind power from the moun-tains would not meet the region’s energy needs, but he believes it is a good start. However, opponents
of wind turbines in the mountains, say the turbines could impact jobs in the region because the region re-lies heavily tourism and real estate development.
*** The Blue Ridge Parkway is
completely open and ready for the July 4th holiday weekend and the busiest period of the tourist sea-son from July to October. Winter storms left trees and rock slides covering stretches of the road, but it’s now open again after four months of cleanup.
A six-mile stretch (mile markers 399 to 405) near Asheville that has been closed since October w i l l b e r e -opened Friday.
The slope around mile marker 400 has been secured with bolts, while crews continue to remove fallen trees and limbs in some areas.
*** Travel in the Carolinas is
expected to increase by about 12 percent this Fourth of July com-pared to last year, according to AAA Carolinas.
AAA says the increase is due to an improved economy and “pent-up demand for vacations.” AAA estimates about 930,000 North Carolinians and 450,000 South Carolinians will travel 50 mile or more this weekend. Most are expected to travel by car.
AAA president and CEO Da-vid Parsons says gas prices this holiday weekend are similar to last year, but people have a more favorable outlook for the economy.

*** An electric car maker from
South Korea was expected to announce Thursday its plans to build a manufacturing plant in Spartanburg County that will employ about 370 people. CT&T Korea Ltd. says it plans to move quickly to get production started at the new facility. The company has been manufacturing vehicles in Korea and selling them through dealerships scat-tered across the c o u n t r y. T h e S p a r t a n b u r g County assembly operation would build the company’s e Zone and c Zone vehicles. CT&T says it may also create in the Upstate its North American headquarters and research and development center.
The car maker is the latest company to join the automotive manufacturing cluster in the Up-state that is anchored by BMW and fostered by the International Center for Automotive Research.
*** An apple grower in Henderson
County is moving forward with a $1 million facility that will more than double the time that apples can be stored in the county. Rich-ard Staton says he is constructing the state-of-the-art facility to retain the business of one of the county’s largest customers, Ger-ber Products Co. Staton says the area is at risk of losing the com-pany’s business without the facil-ity, which can cool apples to 45 degrees and create an atmosphere of two percent oxygen. Nitrogen is added to the storage facility as oxygen is removed. The storage facility can store apples for up to a year, compared to other coolers now in the area that store up to five months.
Staton says he plans to have the new building operational by September, in time for the fall harvest season.
*** Erin Brockovich, a well known
environmental activist, is joining the battle to prevent Alcoa Inc. from renewing its license to oper-ate dams on the Yadkin River.
The dams were built for an Alcoa aluminum smelter, but the plant has closed, and Alcoa now uses the dams to sell electricity. Alcoa is seeking a new license to operate the dams for up to 50 years.
Brockovich planned to speak at a few events this week in North Carolina to state her opposition to a new license. N.C. Gov. Bev
Perdue also has said she does not support a new li-cense, and state lawmakers have proposed the cre-
ation of a public body to hold the dam licenses instead of Alcoa.
*** Residential rents are on the rise
in the South Carolina Upstate, ac-cording to Real Data, a Charlotte research company. The company reports that rents increased 4.6 percent recently, pushing the oc-cupancy rate to 91.3 percent. The rate had been at 88 percent at the end of last year.
Real Data cited a lack of new apartment construction as one cause for the increase. The com-pany said in May 2009 construc-tion was started on 548 new apartments units in the Upstate, but there have been no new starts in the area since then.
*** Smokers in South Carolina
now have to pay 50 cents more per pack in the state after the state’s cigarette tax increase went into effect on Thursday. South Carolina, which previously had a cigarette tax of just seven cents, no longer has the lowest tax in the nation. The 50-cent increase, expected to generate more than $125 million a year, will be placed in a health care trust fund to help cover a Medicaid budget shortfall expected in 2012. Some fund-ing also will be used for cancer research and smoking cessation efforts.

Green Creek First Baptist offers prayer request line
“He will rescue us because you are helping by praying for us. As a result, many will give thanks to God because so many people’s prayers for our safety have been answered.” (NLT) 2 Corinthians 1:11.
Green Creek First Baptist Church offers a prayer request hour every Thursday evening from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
Do you have prayer requests you would like them to pray for? A gentle voice in the midst of chaos often times brings encour-agement and comfort. According to organizers at Green Creek

Update on Lions’ Tryon Peak crossColumbus Lion Roger Newman
reports that the Lions are continu-ing in their efforts to return the lighted cross to Tryon Peak. As chairman of the Cross Commit-tee, Newman reports that he has reached a verbal agreement with Crown Castle, Inc. for a long-term lease. Crown Castle owns the land on Tryon Peak as well as the tower on which the former cross was mounted.
This lease would provide land on which the Lions could build a new tower for their cross. The lease has been offered at no charge by Crown Castle and the company is also providing the legal services to have the lease drawn up. The Lions hope this paperwork will be
completed in the near future.There are more issues with
which Newman must contend be-sides the acquisition of land. The 1983 North Carolina Ridge Law as well as the 2009 local Ridge Laws and the Federal Communications Commission all have regulations which must be met before a new tower can be erected.
In addition, Newman has been negotiating with a contractor who will build the new tower and mount the new cross hardware for an es-timated cost of $65,000. Although the Lions will not be accepting do-nations until all plans are finalized, the club says any pledges of assis-tance will be appreciated. Newman expresses his appreciation for the
strong community support the Lions continue to receive.
In its more than 50-year his-tory, the cross on Tryon Peak has faced many challenges including frequent weather damage and a complaint from the North Carolina Civil Liberties Union (NCCLU). This complaint was filed In 1987 when the NCCLU said the cross – a Christian symbol – should not be mounted on a state-owned tower. Under pressure, the Lions Club was forced to take the cross down.
This might have been the end of the Tryon Peak Cross had not Mr. Edward Bagwell, now deceased, contributed space on his commu-nications tower for construction of a new cross. Through the years the
tower ownership changed hands several times, but the cross was always there – lit at Christmas and Easter – until it was removed by Crown Castle during the 2009 Easter season.
Initially, the Lions thought the cross could return to the tower once structural repairs had been com-pleted. However, they were later told that for legal and structural reasons, the cross would need to be on its own tower.
Anyone wanting to contact the Columbus Lions regarding the cross can reach Roger Newman at 828-859-3154 or write to the Columbus Lions Club at P.O. Box 121, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

It is with great pleasure that collectively we - the Credit Union membership - can continue to help so many of our State’s students further their education in North Carolina’s University System. On behalf of the SECU Foundation, I am proud to award this scholarship to Katie Leigh Wilson.”

Polk residents study peak oil, climate change, offer class on dependency at ICC
In May of this year, two local residents, Beth Thomas and Mary Parker, attended a two-day work-shop in Asheville presented by Transition Initiative, an organiza-tion working to bring awareness to communities about the necessity of ending oil dependency in the presence of peak oil and climate change.
The creator of the concept is a man named Rob Hopkins. Transition Initiative began in the small town of Totnes in Devon, England, a community much like the communities in Polk County. Totnes became the first of many Transition towns in England to work on becoming a sustainable community, as free as possible from the dependency of oil.
Transition Initiative has now spread to our country with 68 Tran-sitions towns, and by the end of the year, the prediction is that there will be at least 100 in the United States. Nearby Asheville is listed as one of these. By March 2009, Transition towns had sprung up all over the world. In this worldwide grassroots movement many other towns are working to become certi-fied as Transition towns.
The term “peak oil” refers to the fact that· cheap oil is running out – many scientists say oil has already peaked worldwide, and in the U.S. it peaked in the 1970s. What this means for people in the U.S., the group says, is that U.S. dependency on oil to maintain pres-ent lifestyles must end. Americans must not only find safe, alternative energy sources - those that do not contribute to climate change or cause a catastrophe like the oil spill in the Gulf - but they must also curb their consumption because nearly everything they buy is dependent in some way on oil. And of course, as oil sources dwindle and become harder and more risky to access, the price of oil will skyrocket as will the price of everything else.
The Gulf oil spill has made most Americans aware that change from the top will not happen fast enough, and technology will not save the country. Thomas and Parker say “We cannot wait. We must do the work ourselves to change things.
The first step is recognizing that there is a problem. Today most people in our country know that climate change is a reality, but there is much less public awareness about how the decline of fossil fuel avail-ability may prevent the economic and social stability that is needed if we are to deal with the threats posed by climate change. The two issues cannot, and should not, be separated.”
Transition Initiative presents a model for uniting and strengthening communities in efforts to achieve local self-reliance to deal with the effects of these monumental chal-lenges. The organization says the outcome will result in lives that are more fulfilling, socially and economically.
The vision of Transition is that of a better world, a change from depen-dency on oil to connectedness with each other for the well-being of all. Localization - buying and support-ing local businesses, getting to know what local services are available and using them, curbing our tendency to travel long distances for goods, and sharing and helping to meet the needs of all community members will be the keys to realizing their vision, the organization says.
The Transition Initiative group of which Beth Thomas and Mary Parker are a part is studying The Transition Handbook and will pres-ent the model to the community in upcoming events. Participation by all members of the local com-munities in Polk County is greatly encouraged.
The first event will be held on July 20 at the Isothermal Commu-nity College auditorium in Colum-bus. Refreshments will be served from 6:30 to 7 p.m. From 7 to 9 p.m. there will be a short film about the end of cheap oil followed by a discussion of the film and Transition Initiative.
For more information on Tran-sition Initiative, go to the follow-ing websites: www.TransitionUS.org, www.TransitionNetwork.org or www.TransitionTowns.org. You may also Google Rob Hopkins or email Mary Parker at [email protected].

Letter to the Editor
Quotes from the pastTo the Editor:
“Every now and then go away. Have a little relaxation for when you come back to your work, your judgement will be surer; since to remain constantly at work will cause you to lose power of judgement.
Go some distance away be-cause the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance, and a lack of harmony or proportion is more readily seen.”
– Leonardo Da Vinci– submitted by Leonard Rizzo

Humane Society Special Cases
Leonard Rizzo
Toward the end of May, we received an owner turn in two sweet dogs, Shiloh and Roscoe.
Shiloh was a Golden mix and Roscoe, a Shepherd mix. These dogs had been chas-ing cats and the neighbors were complaining, hence they arrived at our doorstep. I’ve often spoke of the many different reasons dogs come to us.
Each of these animals were approximately 4½ years old and had been together since puppyhood. Outside of this one problem, they seemed to be sweet and well mannered. They were put through a bank of behavioral tests and passed with flying colors, once they understood what was expected of them.
Shiloh, the Golden mix, was adopted via the internet and is now residing in Colorado, which leaves my boy Roscoe, the Shep-herd mix.
Roscoe absolutely loves at-tention and moans for it each time you pass his cage. I so enjoy going in with him or taking him for walks because he showers you with affection in ap-preciation of the time given him.
I learned that he was high heartworm positive and I be-came interested in taking him on as one of my kids.
After reading his file, I spoke to Kayla (our evaluator) and asked about the cat situation. “I’ve had him in among the cats and he doesn’t show any interest in them at all. Outside with other dogs,” she went on, “he’s quick to learn what’s expected and behaves accordingly.” “Thanks, Kayla, I think I’m going to use my fund to get him boarded at Landrum vet and begin his heart-worm treatment.” Kayla gave me a smile of approval which told me two things, she agreed we should start his heartworm treatment and that she also liked
Is it my turn?
Roscoe.I went down to his cage and
went in to sit with him. He immediately came over and buried his head in my chest as I rubbed him up with affection. “Roscoe,” I said, “we’re going to move you to a new place for a little while so we can give you medicine to make you all better.” “Is it like here, Uncle Lennie?” “Not quite the same Roscoe, but they’re nice people who will care for you and see that you’re walked every day.” “Will you come and visit Uncle Lennie?” I tearfully kissed him between the
eyes, “You bet my friend, and maybe soon we’ll find you a new forever h o m e w i t h
people who love you as much as I do.”
Roscoe is now down at Lan-drum vet and his heartworm treatments have begun. I visit both he and my Brindle Boxer, Bowser, everyday to reassure them that I won’t forget them.
If you are interested in either of these boys, please contact F.H.S, or Landrum vet and I’ll be glad to meet up with you to show you what these boys are all about.
As an aside, I’ll never stop marveling at these glorious crea-tures who maintain so much love in their hearts no matter what they’ve been through. I wish more people would be like that.
Thanks for listening.

Editor’s note: Comedienne Pam Stone writes her column for The Try-on Daily Bulletin twice each month from her office at her home in Gow-ensville. Want a chance to respond to this column? Go to Pam’s blog at www.tryondailybulletin.com.
You must un-derstand that, for my entire adult life, I have never once heard my-self scream. Even when a friend leapt out, as a prank, and tried to scare me, what was emit-ted from my lips sounded like Barry White with a head cold.
Women who are built like me are described as ‘willowy’ or, less sympathetically, a Pez dispenser. I’ve always felt just too tall to be feminine enough to shriek. On the other hand, I can quite imagine the gorgeous super model, Heidi Klum, giving a delightful squeal when her hunky husband, Seal, pretends to push her into their swimming pool. Janet Reno? Not so much.
I sort of hover between the two.So you can imagine my complete
shock, when, upon watching the ter-rifying electrical storm last Thursday
that was wreaking havoc all over the farm, I actually heard myself scream like a banshee.
Clutching both terriers to my chest, I made a mad dash for the house after bringing the horses in from the fields and stashing them in
the relative safe-ty of the barn as crackling bolts of lightening began to flash across the skies.
Watching from behind the storm
door, I witnessed one sizzling bolt strike into the field I had just left and, within moments, an enormous explo-sion occurred directly in front of me: a colossal poplar, well over 100’ in height, was hit and huge chunks of bark exploded towards us. I could hear a long, sustained, scream that probably raised every garage door in the county and it was only after both dogs snapped their heads around to look at me with cocked ears and incredulous eyes that I realized the glass-shattering notes had come from my own mouth. When the third strike actually hit the house, resulting in the recessed lighting above the kitchen to be blown out and the computer monitor needing dental records to be identified, another scream was given, complete with the cowering gesture of sinking to the floor that one only sees during truly bad hor-ror movies.
I’ve heard that certain, heroic, acts can give men an enormous boost of masculinity and vitality. Taking down a potential burglar, coming to the rescue of some hapless female with a broken-down car ~ both of these can put a well deserved swag-ger back into a man’s step. But I never realized, until the storm, that the same logic can also be applied to women.
Where perfumes and lace have always failed, it took three bolts of lightening and the prospect of sudden death to break through the Carhart exterior and bring out my inner Barbie.
Seems I might have a dollop of femininity in me, after all.
Tee hee!

Samuel W. White Jr.’s gift to PCCFWhat a wonderful feeling it
must be to have a large sum of money to give to your community. Samuel W. White Jr. enjoyed that special warm feeling for decades. As he explained in a letter to the Polk County Community Foun-dation in 1992, “When I was a director of Central and South West Corp. in Dallas, Tx., I was offered an unusual gift. The company purchased a [large] life policy on me. At the time of my death, I am permitted to have [the insurance proceeds] distributed to the not-for-profit organizations of my choice in Polk County.”
White chose the Polk County Community Foundation as the beneficiary of his gift. With typical Sam White humor, he stated, “The date is a little doubtful so don’t book it as an asset just yet!”
White died February 15, 2010, but he leaves many legacies to our community, including a generous
endowment fund to benefit our community in perpetuity. He had fun over the years contemplating the many possible directives to the foundation regarding the use of this asset.
The new Samuel and Stephanie White Fund is an unrestricted, permanent endowment fund which shall contribute a percentage of its assets every year to the budget for the foundation’s unrestricted grant-making. Grant recommendations shall be made by the Unrestricted Grants Committee based on writ-ten applications, interviews and a voting system that enables each volunteer member of the com-mittee have a voice in the grant recommendations. As with all competitive grants, the board of the Polk County Community Founda-tion makes the final grant decisions and confirms that the grants were awarded in a fair process based on the donors’ criteria.
samuel W. WhiTe, Jr.
Many local organizations have benefited over the years from White’s gifts of time, talent and enthusiasm. The Polk County Community Foundation was for-tunate to have him serve a term as a director starting in 1986 and as the chairman in 1990 and 1991. He valued and actively contributed to the Congregational Church, St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation, the Tryon Fine Arts Center, FENCE, Pacolet Area Conservancy, Hos-pice of the Carolina Foothills and the Community Foundation. He was pleased that his legacy gift would benefit all of these organiza-tions and asked that these groups be given preference when applying for unrestricted grants funded by the Samuel and Stephanie White Fund.
When White announced his intentions, he wrote, “We think this will be a more effective way to sup-port your group’s operations in the
future. This is a win-win situation. I’m proud to have this opportunity to participate in the recognition of the superb quality of life which we all enjoy in this community.”

Letter to the Editor
Aida one of community’s amazing featsTo the Editor:
This summer marks the 40th year that Tryon Little Theater and Tryon Youth Center have pre-sented the Tryon Youth Theater Production.
For the last four years, I have had the privilege of directing the teenage productions. I started with Beauty and the Beast and then over the next two years we presented Cats and Les Mis-erables. This year I am proud to be directing Disney’s Aida. This is truly a show the entire family can enjoy.
The story is the same as Ver-di’s classic opera, but with music by Elton John and lyrics by Tim Rice.
Elton John? He’s had hits in every decade since the 70’s and he wrote the music for The Lion King. Tim Rice? He is an award winning lyricist whose credits include shows that he wrote with Andrew Lloyd Webber; Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Super-star and Evita. This is his third project with The Walt Disney Company.
He worked with Alan Menken on Aladdin, and Elton John on both The Lion King and Aida.
This community offers amaz-ing summer opportunities for the
youth in this area, including soc-cer, baseball, fun camps, horse events, and theater.
And while sport activities are often available, I know of few communities of our size that give kids age 8-21 the opportunity to perform in a fully realized theater production. Few people realize the army of volunteers it takes to mount a production.
Every child and most parents have been involved with cos-tumes, sets, or selling tickets. These kids deserve to have a full house for each performance.
All the great elements of Disney story telling are here; the beautiful princess, the heroic soldier, the evil magician. Just like a great Disney cartoon, there is action and adventure, a love story and a few bits thrown in for the adults.
So while you might not be as familiar with the songs from Aida as some of the other shows listed above, I promise you that when you leave the theater you will be humming the tunes. The music includes Rock and Roll, Reggae, Motown, as well as the beautiful ballads that Elton John is known for.
The box office is open at the TLT workshop - stop in and get your tickets for Aida and for the 8-12 year olds childhood classic production of Charlotte’s Web.
Get out of the heat this sum-mer, support the community you love, and come experience wonderful theater.
— Chris Tinkler

By John Clayton
Following polk County High school’s inaugural softball sea-son in Class 2a, the Wolverines have placed three players on the division’s all-state team.
senior center fielder Nikki Williams, sophomore catcher alyssa Montgomery and sopho-more pitcher Jamie Hrobak were named to the all-state team when rosters were announced earlier this week.
Williams, who just gradu-ated and will attend appalachian state, hit .413 and stole 18 bases. she was an all-district selection twice before, but this is her first all-state nod.
“this is something Nikki re-ally wanted after being named all-district twice,” said pCHs
Senior Williams earns honors with Hrobak, Montgomery
head coach Jeff Wilson. “It was a goal for her.”
Hrobak earned all-state honors for the first time after going 16-7 on the rubber, striking out 214 in just 128 innings of work.
she earned 16 of the team’s
18 victories and sported a 2.60 earned run average at season’s end.
Montgomery made the all-state roster for the second time in as many varsity seasons. she led the Wolverines in virtually
every offensive category, includ-ing batting average (.456) and doubles (12).
“I’m really proud of these girls,” said Wilson. “It’s a great reflection on them and on our team-first attitude.”

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.

Amanda started to take
lessons from a local profes-
sional. After about six weeks
of lessons Amanda and Nia
entered the Foothills Riding
Club Horse Trial at FENCE

Lisa ‘Simone’ Kelly gives advice to TLT’s ‘Aida’ cast
Lisa “Simone” Kelly, daugh-ter of Tryon’s own Nina Simone, can relate very well to the kids in the cast of the upcoming show “Aida,” since she starred in the hit Broadway production herself.
“I understudied Heather Head-ley in ‘Aida’ while she was still on Broadway, and headed up the first national tour as Aida from March 2001 to February 2002, at which time I returned to Broad-way in the leading role through June 2003,” she explains. “Much to my delight, I won the “Best Actress in a Musical” award for my role in the national tour. I am especially honored because the award is given based upon fans and their votes.”
As Aida, Simone performed 11 songs in the show - three of which are showstoppers - and she performed them all eight times a week. “I was ten pounds underweight due to the enormous responsibility both on and off-stage; but ‘Aida’ remains a true favorite and I would love to do it again – for a short period,” she says. She also got tendonitis in her elbow from doing the sword fight eight times a week, and warns that “the show must and will go on, whether you’re on medication, in physical therapy, or just plain ol’ sick.”
When asked about audition-ing, Simone has some advice for youngsters thinking about going out for a show. She admits that auditioning can be a nerve-wracking process, but says you must have confidence in yourself because you’ll be rejected many times, and not necessarily be-cause you’re not good enough. “It may be the creative team needs someone who will fit the overall look of the cast, or because of some other creative group deci-sion.” But she stresses that “no audition is ever wasted.”
As for this particular role, Simone admits that Aida’s first song “The Past Is Another Land,” was always her nemesis. “It’s
the first song Aida sings and it involves the entire vocal range and a lot of control. But it was also one of my favorites because it’s right after the fight scene and with manacles on my wrists it didn’t take much to get geared up emotionally to do it.”
Other memorable moments for Simone include “The Dance of the Robe” and “The Gods Love Nubia,” a rousing gospel number. “Every Sunday was Church Sun-day and I would sing those songs for the Gods!” she says.
“Have fun!” is Simone’s best advice for the cast of “Aida.” But she also advises them to “know that it takes a team to create something of this magnitude. You are all part of a team and everyone is important. The story is strong… so break those legs and sing for the Gods!”
“Aida” opens at the Tryon Fine Arts Center on July 7 with a festive gala party starting at 6 p.m. Tickets for the gala include gourmet food, wines and des-serts and a chance to wear your “Egyptian finery.”
On July 8 through 10, perfor-mances start at 8 p.m., and July 11 at 3 p.m. Tickets for these performances can be purchased at the Tryon Little Theater Work-shop, 516 Trade St. in Tryon, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday to Saturday, or call 828-859-2466. Check out www.tltinfo.org for more information.

Dear Ziggy....
Champ Therapy
dog
Over the past five years (if my old memory serves me correctly), I have had the privilege of knowing you. We passed the Therapy Dog test at the same time, and while we only saw each other briefly at our visiting venues, I really want you to know that I think you were absolutely THE cool-est Therapy Dog around. Yep, you were absolutely the bees’ knees.
No one, not even I, could come close to the number of smiles you brought to peoples’ faces, and the l a u g h t e r y o u brought to folks with your light-hearted ways and your silly talking antics. It always took me by sur-prise....when you would talk, that is! I think it took everyone else by surprise too! Even though it is against the rules for us to romp and play at places like the assisted living homes, and our handlers wouldn’t allow it, I think everyone would have thoroughly enjoyed it. Maybe in another life, we can be therapy dogs without handlers! One can always hope! WOW, can you imagine what we could do?
Like many great dogs (and peo-ple), you were taken too soon. But then, who am I to know what the future has in store for you, or for us? Maybe now you are a therapy dog in a place where you are needed more. I’d like to think that’s the case. Or maybe you are getting angels to throw tennis balls for you. I can hear you now: “Fetch, Gabriel!”
But please know this: I will truly miss you, with your goofy ways, and your sleek blue coat...and I am not
the only one who will miss you. You will be missed by the many folks in Polk County who were uplifted by your presence, for whom you turned a humdrum day
into a special time of love and laugh-ter. It happened over and over, time and time again.
As for me, well, life goes on...but, I will not soon forget your happy, smiling face, and your love of every-thing about life.
So, shine on Ziggy! One day I will see you at the bridge!
Woof!CHAMP

Dear Savvy SeniorIn one of your recent col-
umns (What Healthcare Reform Means for Seniors) you wrote that seniors with a Medicare prescription drug plan could get a $250 rebate check when they hit the donut hole. I’ve just hit it! What do I need to do to get my check and how long will I have to wait?
Need HelpDear Need,One of the key benefits
for seniors in the new health-care reform law is improved coverage for Medicare Part D beneficiaries. Here’s what you should know.
Donut Hole RebateThis year, seniors who have
a Medicare Part D prescription drug plan are automatically eligible to receive a one-time $250 rebate check if they hit the “donut-hole” coverage gap and are not already receiv-ing Medicare “Extra Help.” Medicare expects around 4 million Part D beneficiaries will actually hit the donut hole in 2010.
The donut hole begins af-ter you reach $2,830 in total prescription-drug spending and extends until your total drug costs for the year reach $6,440. Within that gap, you generally have to pay the bills out-of-pocket. After that, your Part D plan usually covers 95 percent of your remaining drug costs for the year.
Again, you just need to reach the donut hole to qualify for the rebate. You don’t have to spend $250 within the coverage gap first. And you don’t need to fill out any forms to get your
check. Medicare will automati-cally send it when you reach the donut hole – you should receive it within 45 days. To make sure there are no delays, you may want to call your drug plan once you’ve hit the donut hole, to make sure they’ve notified Medicare of your eligibility. If you don’t get your rebate check, call Medicare at 800-633-4227.
Scam AlertThe government also wants
to warn seniors about possible con artists who may try to take advantage of the government rebate. If someone calls you claiming to need your personal information, like your Medicare or Social Security number, or bank account so they can process your Medicare rebate check, don’t give it to them. It’s a scam! Just hang up the phone, and call 1-800-MEDICARE to report it.
Coming Next YearYou also need to know that
starting in 2011, Medicare Part D beneficiaries that hit the donut hole will receive a 50 percent discount on brand-name drugs and a seven percent discount on generic prescrip-tions. After that, beneficiaries will pay a smaller portion of their drug costs in the donut hole each year until 2020, when they have to pay just 25 percent of those costs.
Also starting next year, in-dividuals who earn more than $85,000 (or $170,000 if married filing jointly) will have to pay a high-income surcharge for
Part D Premiums, as they do for Part B.
Extra Help ChangesAnother change to be aware
of is Medicare’s expanded prescription drug benefit to low income seniors (this is not part of healthcare reform). Changes in the law have now made it easier for about 1 million more seniors to qualify for “Extra Help” in paying their Medicare drug coverage.
To be eligible, your an-nual income must be less than $16,245 for an individual and $21,855 for a married couple living together. And your assets such as stocks, bonds and bank accounts must be limited to $12,510 for singles and $25,010 for married couples. The value of your home and automobiles are excluded.
Under the old law, appli-cants had to include the value of life insurance policies in calculating their assets. They also had to include as part of their income money received on a regular basis from rela-tives and friends to help pay household expenses. Under the new law, life insurance policies are no longer counted as assets and money received to help pay household expenses is not counted as income. To find out if you qualify call Social Secu-rity at 800-772-1213 or see ssa.gov/prescriptionhelp.
Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

David Cornelius inducted into the Thermal Belt Second Wind Hall of Fame
David Cornelius (second from right) was inducted to the Second Wind Hall of Fame at the Rotary meeting on June 24 by RCOT Director Art Brown (left), past president Beth Child and past president Larry Poe (right). (photo submitted)
The Rotary Club of Tryon has sponsored David Cornelius for membership into the Thermal Belt Second Wind Hall of Fame. The certificate of membership was presented to Cornelius at the Rotary meeting on June 24 by RCOT director Art Brown, past president Beth Child and past president Larry Poe.
Cornelius earned this rec-ognition as an extraordinary community volunteer for his services as a retired volunteer in at least three local organizations for three years. He has served as treasurer and board member
with the Rotary Club of Tryon, with the Polk County Chapter of the American Red Cross, and with the Tryon Fine Arts Center. He has been a long time elder of the Presbyterian Church of Yorktown and of Tryon.
Cornelius and his wife Gail moved here in 2002 from New York City, where he was em-ployed by CitiBank in the man-agement of Information Technol-ogy and in “back office” banking operations. Earlier, he was em-ployed by American Airlines.
Their family includes two children and three grandchildren.
David and Gail have enjoyed ex-tensive involvement in hiking and kayaking since high school and college. Indeed, their decision to come to the Thermal Belt was in-fluenced by the good year-round climate for outdoor activities.
Cornelius is a past president of the Moravian College Alumni Association in Bethlehem, Pensyl-vania and a former trustee of the college. He was awarded a com-mendation from President Reagon at the White House for the NYC Partnership Summer Jobs Program for Disadvantaged Youth.
