11 bids range from $1.6M to $1.8Mby Leah Justice

Bids for the construction of Polk County’s new department of social services (DSS) build-ing came in very close. The two lowest bidders were within $12,000 of each other.

But Polk County commis-sioners can’t select a contractor yet because who is the low bid-der depends on several factors that are yet to be determined.

The county asked contrac-tors to provide two cost totals, one if the water pressure to the site is high enough that a pump and generator are not needed and another if the pump and generator are required.

If a pump and generator are needed, MV Momentum construction of Charlotte will

PAC kicks off hiking series Friday with 'Raptor Rapture'

PAC LPS Torlina expects to see such raptors as this red tailed hawk at Caesar’s Head. (photo submitted)

The public is invited to join the Pacolet Area Conservancy’s (PAC) Land Protection Special-ist, Pam Torlina, for a four-mile hike at Caesar’s Head State Park/Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area for the start of PAC’s Fall Hiking Series.

Torlina, a biologist, will lead a hike to the Raven Cliff Falls observation platform this Fri-day, Sept. 17. The hike kicks off PAC’s Fall Hiking Series, which will take place every other Friday through Nov. 12.

The four-mile hike is a mod-erately strenuous out-and-back hike. Hikers will travel two miles to the observation platform across the gorge from the falls. Here, Matthews Creek plunges more than 400 feet off of Raven Cliff Mountain. Raven Cliff Falls is one of the most scenic water-falls in the Upstate: a must see, Torlina said.

After the approximately three-hour hike, join Torlina at the Caesar’s Head overlook to search the skies for migrating raptors. Caesar's Head is virtually the only place in the South Carolina mountains with the natural char-acteristics needed to attract thou-sands of migrating raptors. The birds are attracted by the thermals and updrafts generated by wind currents on the south facing slope of the Blue Ridge escarpment. Each year, between the months of September and November, hundreds, even thousands, of raptors – hawks, kites, falcons, eagles, and more – migrate south over Caesar’s Head on their way to their wintering grounds in Central and South America.

If you are interested in attend-ing PAC's hike at Caesar’s Head State Park, please contact the PAC office by 2 p.m. Thursday. You may call 828-859-5060 or e-mail [email protected].

Hikers should wear appropri-ate clothing and footwear; bring a bag lunch and/or snack and

plenty of water. If you intend to stay for hawk watch, binoculars are a must!

Please be sure to bring any personal medication that you may require in the event of an emer-gency. All hikers will be asked to sign a release form.

Torlina will meet hikers in Landrum, in the parking area in front of the Habitat Resale Store by 8:30 a.m. sharp and/or at the Gowensville Spinx (at the intersection of Hwy. 14 and Hwy. 11) at 8:45 a.m. sharp to motor to Caesar’s Head State Park.

A birding expert in addition to being a field biologist and PAC’s land protection specialist, Torlina says, “I hope we’ll have a good turnout for this highly anticipated hike.”

If you cannot make this hike but would like to consider future excursions, please visit PAC’s website (www.pacolet.org) for information about upcoming hikes. The next hike will take place Oct. 1 at the Blue Wall Trail near Landrum.

In case of inclement weather, please contact the PAC office by 8:15 a.m. on the day of the hike. There will either be a weather-related recorded message or someone will be able to advise you about whether the hike will take place.

be the low bidder, but if a pump and generator are not needed, Able Constructors of Greenville, S.C., will be the low bidder.

The county won’t be able to determine if the water pressure is sufficient until a water line and fire hydrant are installed, which could take a few weeks.

Polk County opened bids last Thursday for the new building to be located off Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring.

The county received 11 bids that ranged from $1,815,000 to $1,665,000. The two lowest bids were from Momentum Construction, with a bid of $1,665,000, and Able Con-structors, S.C., with a bid of $1,677,000.

Momentum will deduct $45,000 from its bid if the pump and generator is not needed,

which will take Momentum's bid to $1,620,000.

Able will deduct $58,245 from its bid if the water pres-sure is sufficient. That will take Able's bid to $1,618,755, making it the low bidder, with a mere $1,245 separating the two.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said he never imag-ined that the bids would be this close.

The county has also decided to remove a screen wall that was originally specified around an outside mechanical area.

Momentum's bid drops by $6,100 with the screen wall removed, and Able's bid drops by $13,000, leaving Able still the low bidder.

The end result is that if the water pressure is sufficient and a pump is not needed, Able Constructors will be the low

Whitson says it should take about three weeks for the water line and fire hydrant to be in-stalled. County engineer Dave Odom will then test to check the water pressure. Whitson says that means commissioners

should be able to vote on the bids during the county’s Oct. 4 meeting.

The water line and fire hy-drant construction is part of the grading contract. That con-tract, which includes grading and the initial utilities, such as water and sewer lines and a fire hydrant, was awarded at $137,623.

Grading work began recently on the site.

ey for city hall renovations. He said the city has a $1 million facility nearby at Saluda Moun-tain Jamboree and has been speaking with owners Bob and Linda Whitaker about hosting such fundraisers.

“During this time of reces-sion, I think it’s time we look outside the box for Saluda,” Williams said.

The city is talking about hosting three runs per year and is already in discussions with potential volunteers, such as members of its newly formed historical committee.

“If all goes well it can be an annual thing that could bring some welcome money for city hall,” Williams said.

All commissioners expressed support for the project, with commissioner John Morgan

adding that he likes the idea of the city promoting fitness.

The city has historically allowed outside organizations to hold a 5K run during the annual Coon Dog Day festival in July. Some officials said it might as well be Saluda that benefits from events of that type.

The first 5K run is scheduled for Oct. 23 and will begin and finish at Saluda Mountain Jam-boree, located off Howard Gap Rd. near I-26.

The city has been discussing the need for city hall and police department renovations for years, but officials have been unable to fund the project. Re-cently, community momentum in support of the renovations has grown, and the newly es-tablished historical commit-tee includes a sub-committee specifically named the city hall restoration committee.

Polk County students who took the SAT college entrance exam scored better than the national average and well above the state average, according to statistics released Monday by the N.C. Department of Public Instruction.

Students from Polk County scored an average of 1,034 when math and reading scores were combined, compared to the national average of 1,017. Statewide, the average score was 1,008, just nine points be-low the national average.

Locally, 57.2 percent of stu-dents took the exam, compared to 47 percent nationally and 63 percent in North Carolina.

“We’re quite proud that our results are above the state and national level,” said Polk County Schools Superintendent Bill Miller. “We also had a large percentage of students take the time to take the test as well, so

Polk students score above U.S., state averages on SAT

that’s something to be proud of, too.”

Polk County students aver-aged 534 in mathematics and 500 in critical reading. When the writing score was added, local students were 10 points below the national average of 492.

Among the 22 school dis-tricts in Western North Caro-lina, Asheville City Schools had the top average score with a total of 1,105 (543 math, 562 reading).

Polk County’s average score of 1,034 ranked eighth among school districts in Western North Carolina, just one point behind Transylvania County.

“I’m used to being ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the region, so I’m not sure how I feel about that,” said Miller. “But Western North Carolina schools were among the top-10 in the coun-try as a region, so we’re a part of that.”

Phillip Hurst new pastor at Tryon United Methodist Church

On June 22, true to the Meth-odist tradition, nearly 200 of the more than 1,000 persons appointed to local churches in Western North Carolina packed up their belongings in one com-munity and took up residence in another.

In Tryon, Methodists bade a fond farewell to their minister of five years, the Rev. Neil Haynes, who was appointed to a church in Concord, N.C. Hours later, a welcoming committee returned to the Methodist parsonage to greet the Rev. Phillip M. Hurst and help him, his wife Diane Stamey, and her mother move into their new home. Their daughter, Lori, lives in Charlotte with her husband and young son.

Hurst’s path to the minis-try was sure, if not direct. He graduated from Appalachian State University with a B.A. in geography and urban planning and spent the first 15 years of his career in local government – 10 years in High Point, N.C., as a city planner and five years in Mt. Airy, N.C., as director of planning and community development.

In Mt. Airy, involvement in his local church brought rewards that left him with an important decision to make concerning his future. He could envision continued growth in his cur-rent career, yet he kept asking himself one question: “What if I offered my abilities to God to build up the church?” The answer to that question led him to Duke Divinity School.

After Divinity School, he began the series of appoint-ments that would ultimately bring him to Tryon. Early in his ministry, he married Diane Stamey, herself ordained in the counseling ministry. She holds M.A. degrees in divinity and counseling from Southern

Seminary and Appalachian State University and currently serves as the director of the Mountain Center for Pastoral Counseling in Clyde, N.C., near Lake Ju-naluska. She is also a provider in the Asheville District’s Potter’s Touch Counseling Center.

Hurst’s professional focus for the last several years has been on leadership develop-ment, missional leadership churches, and technology and media in worship. He is cer-tified in coaching churches through the Natural Church Development and Vital Signs Strategic Planning Programs and is a conference mentor for ministerial candidates.

Referring to a popular Meth-odist slogan, “Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors,” Hurst says he is passionate about the need for the church to step out into the community and show the heart of Christ.

Hurst says, “When churches and their members focus on helping, serving, living out their faith, they can bring tremen-dous benefit to the community and perhaps restore some of the trust in the institutional church that has eroded in our society over the past several decades. That’s what ‘missional lead-ership’ means. It is the most important challenge facing the church today.”

FENCE Family Concerts presents Tom Fisch Sept. 19

FENCE Family Concerts will begin its fall season with an appearance by singer and songwriter Tom Fisch on Sun-day, September 19, at 4 p.m. in the Great Room at FENCE.

A native of Albany, New York, Fisch began playing the guitar when he was 10 years old and went on to perform throughout the northeast be-fore creating his own music publishing company in 1991 in Nashville, where his songs were recorded by a number of nationally known country bands, including the Oak Ridge Boys.

Fisch struck out on his own as a performer and moved to western North Carolina to take advantage of the strong acous-tic tradition of the mountains. Fisch will be performing a number of his own songs as well as traditional favorites from the folk and country repertoire.

FENCE Family Concerts are offered free of charge with the support of the Kirby Endow-ment Fund at the Polk County Community Foundation.

Big snakes in ColumbusTo the Editor:

Yes Tommy, we did support you and Warren in 2006 and worked to help you both get elected. Yes, we did give you the benefit of the doubt when you served as the minority for two years on the board with Pack and Owens.

However I don’t agree that you two are the same people that we supported in 2006.

One of the problems with our political system is that we elect people only to sometimes see them change as they realize the power that they have. Some people can handle power and the financial decisions that come with it and others can’t.

We see many politicians get power happy. The symptoms in-clude ethical problems, constant

grandstanding, bad decisions that mostly benefit them, never being able to admit a mistake, and upping the rhetoric as they try to keep the voters in the dark.

One night my wife came out of a meeting in Columbus to a nearly empty street. She found that Tommy’s truck was parked illegally across the back of her car and the car next to her. When she pointed out that there were many empty parking spaces and he was parked illegally, Tommy replied that “he had big snakes” and could park where he pleased.

In my last letter I complained about the back room deal that re-sulted in $95,000 of tax payer’s money being spent on a site that should never have been purchased.

My letter resulted in my re-ceiving some interesting phone

calls, all supportive. A caller told me that she and her hus-band looked at the Park Street lot and that it had an asking price of $75,000. They could not understand why the county paid $95,000.

I guess this is just another thing we will never know be-cause when politicians with big snakes do back room deals this is the result.

I’m sure Tommy and the other big spenders would like to put this deal back under the carpet where they tried to hide it. If I negotiated a deal where I paid $20,000 over the asking price, I’d want to hide it, too!

If you park illegally even-tually you will get ticketed. However, when County Com-missioners break the rules there doesn’t seem to be anyone to ticket them.

The former board of Pack, Owens, Watson and Melton had figured this out and were no longer following the rules. They weren’t looking out for tax payers, it had become all about them. We have to watch what goes on and we need to speak up when we should.

Former or current commis-sioners need to be judged on their records and not on their campaign speeches!

Yes, Tommy I do attend com-missioner meetings, not all of them but far more than you realize.

Of course you don’t care who is watching, because you’ve got big snakes.

GLAUCOMA SLT THERAPY

CALL TODAY FOR AN APPOINTMENT!

YOUR EYESIGHTEXPERIENCE COUNTS

SlT (Selective laser Trabeculoplasty) is a safe and simplein-office laser treatment that effectively reduces eye pressurefor most patients with glaucoma. This type of treatmentuses an advanced laser system to target only specific cellsin the eye. it does not rely on medicines and can be a bettersolution for patients.

SAFE: SlT is not associated with side effectsor the compliance and cost issues of medications.

SELECTIVE: SlT utilizes selectivephotothermolysis to target only specific cells,leaving the surrounding tissue intact.

SMART: SlT stimulates the body’s naturalmechanisms to enhance outflow of the fluid inyour eye, which may allow elimination of drops.

SENSIBLE: SlT therapy is reimbursed byMedicare and many other insurance providers.

EARLY DETECTIONA person in the early stages of glaucoma may not experienceany symptoms. Vision loss from glaucoma is permanent,but can usually be prevented with early detection andtreatment. Once diagnosed, glaucoma management isusually a lifelong process that requires regular monitoringand treatment by an eye care provider.

Alcohol abuse, alcoholism discussion to be held atBlue Ridge Community College September 21

For most adults, moderate alcohol use is not harmful. How-ever, nearly 17.6 million adults in the United States are alcoholics or have alcohol problems. Al-coholism is a disease with four main features:

• Craving - a strong need to drink

• Loss of control - not being able to stop drinking once you’ve begun

• Physical dependence - with-drawal symptoms, i.e. nausea, sweating or shakiness after stop-ping drinking

• Tolerance - the need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to get the reward.

Alcoholism carries many serious dangers. Heavy drinking can increase the risk of certain cancers. It can cause damage to the liver, brain and other organs. It can cause birth defects. It increases the risk of death from

car crashes and other injuries as well as the risk of homicide and suicide according to the NIH: National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

Are specific groups of people more likely to have problems? Alcohol abuse and alcoholism cut across gender, race, and nation-ality. In general, more men than women are alcohol dependent or have alcohol problems. And alcohol problems are highest among young adults ages 18 to 29 and lowest among adults ages 65 and older. We also know that people who start drinking at an early age - for example, at age 14 or younger - are at much higher risk of developing alcohol prob-lems at some point in their lives compared to someone who starts drinking at age 21 or after.

How can you tell if someone has a problem? Answering the following four questions can help

found on the Internet: Alcohol-ics Anonymous (AA), Al-Anon/Alateen, Codependents An-nonymous (CODA), National Association for Children of Al-coholics (NACOA) and National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information (NCADI).

The current national alcohol recovery rate is 18.2 percent but there are recovery models that have long term recovery rates of 75 to 80 percent. Why are these treatment models successful and what can we learn from them? What is the underlying cause of relapse and how can it be prevented?

Bill Wilson, one of the found-ers of AA, is often credited with having discovered the missing link to recovery and devoted the end of his life to teaching others. Now we have 30 years of successful

you find out if you or a loved one has a drinking problem:

• Have you ever felt you should cut down on your drinking?

• Have people annoyed you by criticizing your drinking?

• Have you ever felt bad or guilty about your drinking?

• Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or to get rid of a hangover?

One “yes” answer suggests a possible alcohol problem. More than one “yes” answer means it is highly likely that a problem exists. If you think that you or someone you know might have an alcohol problem, it is important to seek professional help to determine if a drinking problem exists and plan the best course of action. Many people also find support groups a helpful aid to recovery.

The following list includes a variety of resources that can be (conTinueD on page 21)

‘Operation Lamb’ fundraiser begins September 17

For the past nine years the Knights of Columbus has presented Mrs. Rhonda Hill, exceptional children’s teacher at Polk County High School, with a check for the EC program. This spring she ac-cepted a donation of $723 from the Knights.

occupational courses of study.This was a transitional year for

some of Hill’s students. Some of the students will be moving on to higher education and others will seek employment.

The Knights of Columbus’ annual “Operation Lamb” project supports the mentally handicapped and those with intellectual dis-abilities. The 2010 fundraiser will take place at Bi-Lo in Landrum and Columbus on September 17 and 18, at the Food Lion in Columbus on Saturday, September 18, and at the IGA in Tryon on Wednesday, September 29.

the Western Highlands Con-ference recently announced that John spencer Wolfe – a 2010 polk County High school gradu-ate - is the recipient of the pres-tigious Male athlete of the Year award.

“this is a great honor for me and I’m glad to bring the award home to the best team in the conference” said Wolfe.

this award encompasses all male sports for the 2009-2010 academic year represented by WHC members.

“I’m very proud of John spen-cer and all his accomplishments, but this is a biggie,” said polk County High school athletic Director Jeff Wilson.

It was four years ago when Wolfe walked on the track for in-door season as a freshman – just to stay in shape for varsity soccer and football. He never left Coach alan peoples’ program and ran cross country, indoor track and outdoor track for the Wolverines. He has signed a track scholarship with N.C. state, where he is now a freshman.

Wolfe’s accomplishments in-clude 13 all-state selections with six individual state champion-ships, numerous all-conference and all-region teams as well as many local, regional, and state awards.

He also established eight new school records and qualified for several national events.

peoples summed up John spencer’s career in this way, “John spencer Wolfe came into the polk County High school program setting records – and he left the same way.”

Of course, the arrival of someone labeled “conscientious objector” necessitated a period of adjust-ment between me and the mem-bers of “Charlie Med”, as that unit was called.

After a series of misadventures, I ended up as the company clerk, serving

t h e C o m -manding Officer and his admin-istrative staff. Eventually I had all the keys to all the locks in the company, including the key to the CO’s jeep.

There was an intelligence unit quartered in the same building, and in their employ was an interpreter - a mid-thirty-ish woman who lived in the nearby village of Ben Cat. Her adopted name was Rose. She also came to the treatment bay when indigenous patients were being served. We formed a friendly relationship, as we did the paperwork documenting her visits. By this time in my life I had been reading Zen Buddhism for about three years and was very interested in the practice of Buddhism. One day I asked Rose if she thought it would be possible for me to attend a service at the local temple. She agreed to ask and then accompany me after getting permission.

A couple of weeks later Rose

advised me that there was to be a special service at noon on Friday at the temple in Ben Cat and that she had made arrangements for me to attend. I don’t know where the officers were that Friday, but when it came time to leave, there was no one around to ask permission. So, of course, I made an executive decision, not remembering that I wasn’t really an executive.

Rose and I drove to Ben Cat where I observed a ceremony that will always remain in my memory. It was a simple service

in a “country church”. I was frustrated that I didn’t under-stand even one word, but also moved by the simplicity and

the sure knowledge that I had been in the presence of something spiritually significant.

Rose tried to explain the cer-emony to me on the short drive back to the base camp, but it wasn’t important - the experience was the important part. When we got to the gate at the base camp, the guard checked the number on the front of the jeep and advised me to get back to my company as quickly as I could.

I dropped Rose off and went to the orderly room where the CO was waiting for me. He asked where I had been and I told him. With a red face he said, “Don’t you know that Ben Cat is a Viet Cong controlled village? I can’t believe you took my jeep into that village. I’m giving you an Article Fifteen. Your rank is frozen. You

are fined $50 and confined to base for 30 days.”

Currently, I am re-reading Living Buddha, Living Christ by Thich Naht Hanh, a Vietnamese Buddhist monk and the founder of the Order of Interbeing and the Unified Buddhist Church. As a Christian minister in Florida threatens to burn copies of the Quran and Muslims across the world declare jihad, Hanh in the passages quoted below, reminds us of the importance of under-standing and respecting the beliefs of others.

Responding to Professor Hans Kung’s assertion that.“ Until there is peace between religions, there can be no peace in the world.” Hanh writes: “People kill and are killed because they cling too tightly to their own beliefs and ideologies. When we believe that ours is the only faith that contains the truth, violence and suffering will surely result.”

And then from the Order of Interbeing: “Do not think the knowledge you currently pos-sess is changeless, absolute truth. Avoid being narrow-minded and bound to present views. Learn and practice nonattachment from views in order to be open to re-ceive others’ viewpoints.”

So I told the CO that day in Vietnam, “Sir, I just wanted to know what their religion was all about.”

And he responded, “But you parked my jeep in that town?”

Don Weathington is a retired psychotherapist and business owner who lives in Gillette Woods at a place called Birdland.

You took my jeep where?

Bonesteel to present quilting retrospective at Landrum LibraryNoted quilter Georgia Bon-

esteel of Flat Rock, N.C., will present a quilting retrospective on September 21 at the Landrum Library.

The 6:30 p.m. program is open to the public and is sponsored by the Friends of the Landrum Li-brary and the Landrum Quilters.

Credited with fueling a revival of quilting in the seventies, this internationally-recognized quilter will share stories of her quilting journey and examples of her continuing quilt artistry.

As creator and host of “Lap Quilting with Georgia Bonest-eel,” produced by North Caro-lina Public Television, she has

georgia BonesTeel

inspired quilters throughout the country. The series is still running on PBS. In 2005 she partnered with her son Paul to produce the documentary “The Great American Quilt Revival” which featured well-known quil-ters, historians and collectors discussing their art and role in the revolution of modern quilting.

A longtime seamstress, Bon-esteel graduated from North-western University with a home economics and merchandising degree. When a move took the Bonesteel family to New Orleans, she began a small business, Cajun Quilters, making one-of-a-kind quilted patchwork evening bags.

A subsequent move to North Carolina in 1972 and Bonesteel’s renewed interest in quilting has led to an illustrious career in teaching, writing and promoting quilting.

In the late seventies, Bon-esteel taught quilting lessons to a group of interested women at the old Landrum Library. She and former Landrum librarian Ruth Farrar are credited with founding the Landrum Library Quilt Club in 1980. Now known as the Landrum Quilters, the club is celebrating its 30th year with more than 140 members.

Crossing the lineIt appears there is no way to build a public building in

polk County without a controversy. It hasn’t happened in 20 years. Bless those who bear up our responsibilities.

It is unclear to us why, at any discussion of bricks and mortar, the public brings out the brickbats. But one can be sure this time it has something to do with the fact that we have eight candidates running for three seats on the county board. Critics routinely fill the board room during election season, while supporters stay clear. One could get the wrong impression and miss the many reasoned, balanced views in the county regarding the long-planned, much needed Department of Social Services building.

We are thankful that public comment is encouraged. We are thankful we live in a country where our speech is protected and those in power have no right to censor us.

However, we also esteem the Judeo-Christian tradition that calls us to show respect for all those holding authority over us. Teachers, from John the Baptist to Jesus to paul, instructed us again and again to submit, “for there is no authority except that which god has established.” Before you say, “But nowadays!” recall that those in power would later put each one of these men to death.

By contrast, the extreme rhetoric and disrespect toward those in public office, so casually offered today, is corro-sive and ugly. Speakers, by their outrageous, angry words, set american against american without fear of facts. a na-tion without bonds of trust and goodwill will disintegrate, become like Somalia. It is shameful behavior.

Let us hope that at least here, neighbors will never adopt such disgraceful tones with one another. Just in case, the county board policy states that the county chair may cau-tion, set down and ultimately remove anyone out of order. The policy enforces the wisdom of good citizenship. Let us hope our neighbors never cross the line and simply choose on their own to show proper respect. — JB

Surprised at Polk Central Elementary newsTo the editor:

We were surprised at the news about polk Central elementary when teachers were given the opportu-nity to complete the “2010 NC Teacher Working Conditions” survey about the school. The article reported that a smaller percentage of faculty completed the survey than at the other polk County schools, and also that the responses were more negative than at other schools.

We have had many opportuni-ties to spend time at polk Central. as a Big Brother and Big Sister of students there, we have par-

ticipated in “grandparents’ Day,” taken tours of the schools, and helped in several classrooms.

We have found the teachers to be warm, friendly, in control of their classes, well-prepared, and obviously doing their best

for each student in the class. We’ve been welcomed to come at any time, been asked for specific help, and found the atmosphere

to be one where learning is the priority.

We hope the principal and faculty know what a good job they are doing. We certainly feel this to be true and are thankful that each student at polk Central is receiving a good education in a positive environment.

– Lynn and Bob Montgomery

Pumphrey built a first-class library over past 16 yearsTo the editor:

For over 16 years Mark pum-phrey has been the library direc-tor at our polk County public Li-brary. Back then, the library was a shadow of what it is today, both in terms of the physical building and the service it provides polk County citizens.

Last week, Mark announced that he is leaving polk County to pursue a career opportunity in Texas. We will miss Mark and want to wish him success in his

new position.I want to recognize and thank

Mark for all that he has done to build a first class public library system in polk County — our new Columbus library as well as the Saluda library and book-mobile.

Mark would be the first to say that he is just one of many people who have played a role in our library’s success, but his leadership has been a critically valuable part of the work.

Thank you, Mark, for all that you have done to make polk County a better place and best wishes in your new job.

— Don Hofmann

Antibodies play Rogers Park September 17

From left: Peggy Magarahan, Mark Branyon, lee Holroyd, lisa de Freitas, Kevin Jameson, Jennifer latto, Terri Burch and Tom Conder. (photo submiited)

The Antibodies with the Pulse will be playing at Rogers Park Friday, September 17. The Anti-bodies first started playing together in 1996 or 1997. At the time Tom Conder, one of the group’s found-ers, was involved with theater in the area, Spartanburg’s Little Theater and USCS’s Shoestring Players.

Conder recalls the beginning of the Antibodies and the Pulse: “I was friends with Peggy Maga-rahan with whom I’d done a show with in ‘97. Peggy is a dancer and has contributed to many of the musical shows that the theaters in this area have produced. Thru the years I’d often talk to Peggy about choreographing one of the songs but we were all busy and it would just pass.

“In 2008 I called her and said, ‘Do you want to really try it?’ I told her that I was sure we could find a way to perform it. It still

took a year to work schedules where she and her dance buddies could choreograph the number.

“Peggy and the rest of the Pulse, Jennifer Latto, Lisa De Freitas, Terri Burch and Rodney Bogan, our sole male, (and un-fortunately he will not be avail-able to dance at Rogers Park) choreographed 30 songs for the Hub Bub show which we did in November 2009.

(Excerpts from that show are available at myspace.com/anti-bodiestheband.)

“They just don’t stand there and do a generic go-go routine. Peggy studied the music and the lyrics to find inspiration for many of the movements. I think she and the rest of the girls know the songs better than we do.”

According to Conder, Maga-rahan broke the songs down into heavy, light, duet and freestyle.

Mark Branyon, who writes the music for the Antibodies and arranges the song set lists for shows, arranged the sets with input from Magarahan from the dancer’s point of view in a manner to best space the songs according to their degree of dif-ficulty.

“Sounds complicated but after a few beers and 12 years of playing, it was easy,” says Conder.

This will be their fourth per-formance together and their second as a full two set show. The groups have played two shows this year at the Music Camp in Cowpens for the Green Earth Party and the Love valley 40 Year Remembering Show. Drummer Lee Holroyd lives in Tryon with his wife, Patti Peake.
