Columbus sets 25 mph as town speed limitLimit applies where no signs are postedby Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus has adopted a town-wide speed limit of 25 miles per hour unless oth-erwise posted.

No speed limits will change, but unmarked town-owned streets will now have a 25-miles-per-hour limit.

Columbus Police Officer Nick Stott told Columbus Town Coun-cil Thursday, July 21 the depart-ment is requesting that the town speed limit be posted at town

entrances, because many streets do not currently have a posted speed limit.

Stott also said because of safety concerns, the department wants the section of Mills Street between Blanton and Park streets

Walt Myers, Joe Cooper, Bill Ratterree, Jared Scott and Adrian Chapman, members of the team that designed, built and installed the new Morris weathervane on top of the Rotary Plaza clock tower in Tryon. (photo submitted)

Conceived as part of the origi-nal Brady/Trakas architectural renderings for the structure in 2003, the Morris weathervane was not included in the 2005 construction of the clock tower, a joint project by the Rotary Club of Tryon and the Thermal Belt Rotary Club to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the founding of Rotary International.

Tryon would have to wait another six years to see the archi-tect’s concept completed, but that wait is over, and the miniature version of the town’s symbol, locally handcrafted in copper and textured bronze, now overlooks downtown Tryon.

The final phase of this proj-ect began when Tryon Down-town Development Association (TDDA) President Crys Arm-brust asked local businessman and Rotary Club of Tryon mem-ber John Gargiulo to spearhead this final element as a comple-ment to TDDA’s recent historical marker initiatives for Tryon’s

Streetscape. Gargiulo accepted and contacted friend and col-league Joe Cooper of J.T. Cooper Studio, whose custom lighting fixtures and other creative works emphasizing “a contemporary approach to classic design” have evoked national recognition both

for his studio and his design team, comprised of local artists Cooper, Bill Ratterree, Patti Peake and Jared Scott.

When shown the Brady/Trakas rendering, Cooper im-mediately accepted the task.

“I knew,” Cooper said, “that

the generosity of many people, acting through the Rotary, had made the clock tower a reality. I felt, too, that we had an op-portunity to join with these fine people, and so, in that same spirit,

I agreed to donate our work.”Because the decorat ive

weathervane would require a structure that would allow it to move freely in the wind, yet be safely secured to the clock tower, the studio team needed an extra player. Walt Myers of Turner Junction Forge proved to be that player, and he facilitated the weathervane’s construction with engineering expertise and advice about proportion, not to mention

building its swivel mechanism. Jared Scott created and applied the patina before the weathervane was installed.

After a number of “dress rehearsals” in Myers’ shop, the piece was ready for mounting. Tryon employee Adrian Chap-man controlled the bucket lift as Bill Ratterree installed the fix-ture. With refreshments from the Trade Street Gallery Coffeehouse and some extra mounting screws from Cowan’s Hardware, the team completed the installation.

to have a speed limit of 25 mph to match the stretch from down-town to the roundabouts. The state would have to approve that request.

The new 25-mile-per-hour regulation will go into effect once the N.C. Department of Transportation approves the request and sends the town the signs.

Stott said the town-wide speed limit would eliminate problems arising from town-owned roads that do not have a posted speed limit sign, such as Beechwood, Simms, Park, Constance, Ward, Julia, White and Holly Hill roads, as well as others. Stott said it’s hard to enforce speed limits when there is no sign and placing a few town-wide speed limit signs will be a lot cheaper than posting a speed limit sign on every road.

“This is not a speeding ticket campaign,” Stott told council.

• Speed limit(Continued from page 1)

He said having lower speed limits, such as changing the speed limit through downtown Columbus and through the commercial interstate corridor to the roundabouts from 35 to 25 miles per hour, keeps people under 40 miles per hour and there is nowhere in Columbus it is safe to drive faster than 40 miles per hour.

On the subject of the police department wanting to reduce the speed limit between Blanton and Park streets from 35 mph to 25 mph, Stott said he recently clocked a vehicle going 53 mph in that area, which is not safe, he said.

Stott said the police depart-ment is concerned about the area because vehicles crest the hill at fast speeds and pe-destrians, especially children, frequently cross the street to go to the ice cream shop.

Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said the town-wide speed limit signs should ar-rive in Columbus from the state in no more than three months.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the Columbus Fire Department responded to a White Oak Mountain Road resi-dence in response to a vehicle on fire on Monday, July 25.

Polk County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Kenny Kempster said the call came in at 3:12 a.m. Monday for an “unknown type fire.”

First Polk recreation public input meeting today, 7 p.m.Survey on Polk recreation facilities, services availableby Barbara Tilly

The Polk County Recreation Advisory Board will hold the first of four public meetings to gain in-put from the public on recreational facilities and activities in Polk County on Tuesday, July 26. The meeting will be held at the Green Creek Community Center at 7 p.m.

Additional meetings will be held in other parts of the county. The second meeting will be held Tuesday, Aug. 2 at Isothermal Community College in Columbus, the third will be Tuesday, Aug. 9 at Polk County Middle School and the last will be Tuesday, Aug. 16 at Saluda Elementary School. All meetings will be at 7 p.m.

These meetings are part of the recreation staff’s efforts to create a new master plan for the depart-

ment. The purpose of the plan is to provide the county with a guide to use as decisions are made concern-ing parks and recreation through the year 2021 with regard to facil-ity and programming needs. The plan also makes recommendations for meeting those needs.

In addition to the meetings, the board has developed a survey for residents to complete. The survey will be strictly confidential, Polk recreation officials said. There will be no way for anyone to know who filled out a particular survey.

“We need your honest input to help us provide direction for the recreation of Polk County for the next few years,” Polk recre-ation officials said in a letter to residents.

Surveys can be obtained at the county offices in the Womack Building in Columbus and online at www.polknc.org. They can be dropped off at Stearns Gym in Columbus or mailed to Polk

County Recreation, P.O. Box 308, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

Surveys are due to be turned in by Sept. 15.

For more information, call Polk County Recreation Director Patty Aldred at 828-894-8199 or Jim Patterson, chairman of the Polk County Recreation Board, at 828-817-4407.

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).

Father’s Day is a day to honor any man that is a parent. It is celebrated in the U.S. on the third Sunday in June. Many other countries also observe the same type of celebration on varying days of the year. The purpose of this day is to celebrate fatherhood. Sonora Dodd was the daughter of Mr. William Smart. Sonora’s Mother died during childbirth, so Mr. Smart was a single Father to six children, as well as a Civil War veteran. Dodd was honored by her Father’s love,hardwork, and dedication to raising his family alone, so she campaigned to create the first Father’s Day. On June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington, the first Father’s Day was observed. The holiday’s popularity caught on, and in 1966 President Lyndon B. Johnson made the third Sunday in June an official holiday. President Nixon made it a permanent part of our Country’s annual festivities in 1977. Most people celebrate Father’s Day by giving their Dads gifts or cards. Children make cards and presents for their Dads and treat them extra special that day. Some families have special traditions, such as taking Dad out to lunch. However you and your family choose to celebrate, make sure to tell your Dad that you love him. Don’t forget that your Grandfather is a Dad, too!

The sea is full of life. There are thousands of different living things in the oceans of the world, many of them probably still undiscovered. The major types that we do know of are the crustaceans, the fish, the cephalopods, the echinoderms, the jellies, and the mammals. Crustaceans are like the insects of the ocean; they have an exoskeleton like land arthropods. Commonly known crustaceans are crabs, lobsters, and shrimp. Fish can range in size from tiny to gigantic. About 14,000 species have already been discovered. Fish that travel in large groups are called schools. A cephalopod is an animal that has two separate parts: a head and feet, such as an octopus or squid. The echinoderms are usually small animals that have radial symmetry and five legs, such as the starfish. They use tiny projections called tube feet to eat. The jellies are soft animals, usually called medusas in their adult form. They develop in stages, much like a frog does. The mammals are the warm-blooded animals of the ocean, such as the dolphins and whales. Ocean mammals require oxygen from the surface to breathe.

Polk softball’s Montgomery, Hrobak earn All-State honors

sports 12 tuesday, July 26, 2011 tryon daily Bulletin / the World’s smallest daily neWspaper

by Daniel Hecht

For Polk County High School’s softball program, the 2011 sea-son was, by all measurements, a resounding success.

T h e L a d y Wolverines tal-lied 18 victories on their way to a 10-4 record in the Western Highlands Con-ference, good for a berth in the 2A state playoffs. Only a narrow early round loss to eventual state champion Pisgah kept the team from making a deep run into the

state championships.Fittingly, two athletes that

played key roles in the team’s success recent-ly learned that they had earned spots on the 2011 All-State roster, as the selection com-mittee from the North Carolina Softball Coach-es Association announced that b o t h A l y s s a Mon tgomery

and Jamie Hrobak had received All-State awards.

The award marks the third time Montgomery, a rising senior, has made the All-State squad. The shortstop/c a t c h e r a l s o pu l l ed down a l l - We s t e r n Highlands Con-ference honors for the third year running, hitting safely in 22 of 66 at-bats for a .333 average while striking out just once on the year. Mont-gomery led the Lady Wolver-ines in walks and recorded 12 stolen bases on her way to earn-ing the team’s best offensive player award.

For Hrobak,

the All-State award is her second and just the latest in a string of accolades earned by the Lady Wolverines’ pitcher. The rising se-nior was also named District 8 Pitcher of the Year, the first ath-lete in the history of Polk County softball to receive the honor. Hrobak also earned a spot on the all-Western Highlands Conference team for the third time, posting a record of 18-6 from the pitcher’s circle with an ERA of 1.32, striking out 225 batters while walking just 24. Hrobak, who holds the school record for vic-tories with 47, also ex-celled at the plate, post-ing a .414 batting aver-age and hitting safely in 22 of 24 games.

“Alyssa and Jamie are great players as well as great leaders,” com-mented Polk head soft-ball coach Jeff Wilson after the awards were announced. “They are rare in the fact that they will both be three-time captains of a varsity sport.”

Wilson attributes a great deal of his players’ success to the commitment from their families.

“As a varsity coach, it is re-freshing to have parents that go the extra mile to help their kids – to play ball in the summer, take them to camps, and so on – and both of

these girl’s parents have done a great job for them.”

“I’m really proud of them,” added Wilson. “These two girls mean a lot to me and a lot to our program, and have absolutely helped us to be very successful.”


Polk library wins federal grant for computer lab upgradesThe Polk County Public Li-

brary has been awarded a $19,000 grant to be used for upgrading the computer lab in Columbus.

The library will use the funds to replace all the public computers and add three new workstations. The library will also create two “express stations,” which will be standing Internet access points for checking emails, printing board-ing passes and other quick tasks.

LSTA funds awarded by the State Library of North Carolina are made possible through fund-ing from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the provisions of the Library Services and Technol-ogy Act as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of

Cultural Resources.These federal funds are invest-

ments that help libraries deliver relevant and up-to-date services for their communities. At the Polk County Public Library, the LSTA grant will provide purchase of 16 computers and furniture.

Library director Cindy Nan-ney said, “The majority of the us-age in our computer lab supports patrons that do not have access to online resources or computers at home. The upgraded computers will give our patrons a portal to emerging technologies and also alleviate waiting times. We are excited to continue to support the needs of our community.”

PCPL received one of the 112 competitive grants for fiscal year 2011-2012 awarded to North

Carolina libraries from this year’s federal allotment of $4,160,471. The LSTA grant program admin-istered by the State Library of North Carolina funds projects across the state that help librar-ies deliver learning opportunities for a lifetime, support libraries in their mission to provide cost-effective access to the Internet and to information expertise and make library resources more ac-cessible to all users.

The IMLS is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 122,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The institute’s mission is to create strong librar-ies and museums that connect people to information and ideas. Through the LSTA Grants to States program IMLS provides

funds to state library agencies us-ing a population-based formula. State libraries may use the ap-propriation to support statewide initiatives and services; they may also distribute the funds through competitive subgrants to public, academic, school, special and research libraries.

At the beginning of this year, Babyboomers, more than 10,000 of them a day, began turning age 65.

For many, that may be good news, as retirement, Medicare and Social Security are soon going to be part of their lives. But with age 65 also comes some very frightening news – 65 is the age when the risk of developing Alzheimer ’s disease increases significantly.

Current statistics indicate that one of every eight boom-ers will develop and die with or from Alzheimer’s disease. It will no longer be their grand-parents and parents who have to deal with the disease - it will be them, 10 million of them.

Here are some additional facts about this devastating, costly and heartbreaking dis-ease:

• Alzheimer’s disease is fatal – today there are no survi-vors, not one.

• There is no sure way to prevent, cure or dramati-cally slow the progression of Alzheimer’s.

• Alzheimer’s is a disease that impacts the entire fam-ily.

• Caregivers of loved ones see the day-by-day realities of this relentless and pro-gressive disease as it steals the patient’s memories, au-tonomy and independence.

• Caregivers and families go through the agony of losing a loved one twice: first to the ravaging effects of the disease and then, ultimately, to actual death.

• Most Alzheimer’s patients survive 4-6 years after di-agnosis, but some can live for up to as many as 10 to 20 years, requiring increasing care and financial outlay for their care.

Today, it is estimated that over 11 million family mem-bers and friends provide unpaid care for Alzheimer’s patients, and the demands on their time

Alzheimer’s: Disease of Babyboomer generation

have been shown to negatively affect their health, employ-ment, income and financial security.

In America today, someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease every 70 seconds and by the year 2050 the rate of diagnosis will increase to one new Alzheimer ’s diagnosis every 33 seconds – more than 1 million new cases per year.

In addition to the devasta-tion and heartbreak of the disease for pa-tients and fami-lies, Alzheim-er’s disease and other dementias cost all Ameri-cans over $170 billion a year.

Medicare’s costs of caring for an Alzheimer’s patient are expected to increase over 600 percent in the next 35 years, and out-of-pocket family costs for caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s will grow by more than 400 percent during that time.

According to the Alzheim-er’s Association, over the next 40 years Alzheimer’s will cost the nation $20 trillion.

To give you an idea of how much money that is, it’s enough to pay off the national debt and still send a check in the amount of $20,000 to every man, woman and chi ld in America. The federal govern-ment simply does not have the money to keep up with these explosive costs.

Right now in Amer ica , we’re dealing with out of con-trol spending, growing debt and a government that is facing increasing demands for health-care expenditures. And as I just noted, Alzheimer’s disease is slated to cost this country $20 trillion over the next 40 years.

Our leaders are worried about the cost of oil, wars and a slew of wasteful projects, even as we see the growing reality that Alzheimer’s disease has the potential to bring America to its financial knees. And our

nation is doing virtually noth-ing to stop it.

The National Institutes of Health spends over $6 billion annually on cancer research, more than $4 billion a year on heart disease and in excess of $3 billion on HIV/AIDS.

But the NIH spends only $480 million per year on Al-zheimer’s research, even as the tsunami of future Alzheimer’s cases continues to grow.

Our country has always i n v e s t e d i n medical devel-opment and re-search. Those e f f o r t s h a v e resulted in the

eradication of polio, the devel-opment of penicillin to fight infections, new drugs to extend our lives as well as medical procedures and techniques to treat and cure many of today’s health problems.

Perhaps, as we look to the future, and notice that the Al-zheimer’s disaster has already begun, we as a nation may finally begin to take action on that front.

There is wisdom in attack-ing this problem now. Funding projects that result in early diagnosis, new drugs that pre-vent and successfully treat Alzheimer’s disease and ul-timately finding a cure are worthy endeavors.

Such an effort will ulti-mately eliminate Alzheimer’s as a certain death sentence, and will prove to have been a cost effective investment in our future health and financial stability as a nation.
