Polk ordinance bans commercial developments in Saluda TownshipProposed campground brings issue to lightby Leah Justice

An application for permission to create an RV park and campground off Holbert's Cove Road may have uncovered a glitch in the county’s new mountainside and ridgeline protection ordinance.

The ordinance prohibits any

commercial developments above 1,650 feet elevation. All of Saluda Township is above 1,650 feet, so commercial developments appear to be banned in any part of Saluda Township that is not inside Saluda city limits, where city regulations apply. The ban does not apply to "customary home occupations."

The issue arose recently when

Many people living in the Tryon area drive by kiveo (yes, it’s a small “k”); on a weekly basis. They see their ads in the newspaper, but ask anyone on the street what kiveo actually does

and most people don’t know.kiveo was formed in 2008 by

Miles Phillips, Briley Hooper and Jeremy Edgell, three developers who met at another company and decided to set up their own shop in Tryon. They ran kiveo out of their homes and borrowed space

for a year before they moved into their current space at 133 N. Trade Street in Tryon, next door to the Green River Frame Shop.

kiveo got its start developing websites as well as applications for Facebook and mobile phones. Locally, kiveo has developed the

Tryon Events website and helped a number of companies in and around Tryon begin or strengthen their Internet presence, including Blaze Realty, the Tryon Daily Bulletin, and the Polk County

High tech company in Tryon growing quickly

Saluda land trust gets grant to buy lot near schoolby Leah Justice

The Saluda Community Land Trust recently purchased a one-acre lot for public use after receiving a grant from the Polk County Community Founda-tion.

Betsy Burdett of the Saluda Com-munity Land Trust announced the purchase during a city council meeting last week.

The land abuts U.S. 176 and is adja-cent to the Saluda School, behind an area in which students have birdhouses.

The property will be available for students during school hours and to the public outside school hours. It includes a creek and plans are to develop walk-ing trails.

Burdett also told council that the Saluda Community Land Trust is mak-ing good progress in a volunteer effort to clear kudzu at the old Saluda city dump site.

The Saluda Community Land Trust was formed to created a greenway throughout Saluda, particularly along the Pacolet River.

Sheriff’s Office.In May of this year, kiveo won

a major contract with a company that contributes to improving health care globally. Kiveo was hired to develop and support the company’s online software appli-cations and to provide help desk support for their end-users.

With the success of these projects, kiveo has undergone explosive growth in the last few months, tripling in size. This has thrilled the entire crew but has also meant that kiveo’s current office in downtown Tryon is no longer able to hold everyone.

Not wanting to leave Tryon, kiveo has taken over the old Fashion 200 building just down the block from the company's current office. The Help Desk op-eration has already been moved into the lower level of the build-ing and everyone is enjoying the much needed space. The partners are excited and hope to complete the move by the end of September.

Outside of Polk County, kiveo has helped design and develop websites and social media ap-plications for a number of clients including The Munson Williams Proctor Arts Institute in New York, Audi Motors (which has now logged more than one mil-lion hits on its kiveo-developed Facebook application) and Mi-crosoft.

In recognition of and gratitude for the continued support of the entire community, kiveo's owners say, they are planning to make good use of the ample window and wall space in their new build-ing by showcasing paintings and other works by local artists.

kiveo’s owners say their plans for the future are just like their new building – big, bright and grounded in the community. They say the new space will give the firm plenty of room to grow and allow the company to pursue exciting new clients and challenges.

None of the three partners is originally from Tryon. Phillips

is originally from Des Moines, Iowa. He met his wife Jody online. Phillips came down to Polk County to see her in person and never left. They have four children and live in Tryon.

Phillips attended Iowa State and majored in management in-formation systems. He has nearly a decade of experience in the web industry and has worked for everything from small companies to enormous companies like Sun Microsystems.

Phillips’ claim to fame is that he can take any data and make it something elegantly usable. When he is not at work, Phillips enjoys spending time with his family, playing games online – he is a master of World of Warcraft (WoW) – and reading.

Briley Hooper is kiveo’s senior programmer. Hooper moved to the area in 2007 after graduating from Maryville College in Tennessee with a degree in computer sci-ence and business. He is the “man behind the curtain” who loves coming up with creative solutions to tough problems. Outside of the office, he works part-time as a youth group leader. He enjoys hiking and camping or just sitting and watching a good movie.

Jeremy Edgell says he “will jump into any project” and truly loves to make it better. Edgell speaks German and Spanish and writes in Spanish, German, Italian, French and Portuguese. Edgell attended West Virginia University and James Madison University, and earned his degree in business.

Edgell began his career work-ing in the bilingual field and moved from there to training and technical support. He was born in Elkins, W.V., and has lived in Germany and Costa Rica. Edgell says that when he came down I-26 into Tryon the first time, he knew that he had found his home. He enjoys working around the house and is a true animal lover.

Zachary Waldbillig sought an application to construct an RV park and campground off Holbert’s Cove Road in Saluda Township. The property is in the county’s multiple use zon-ing district, but falls under the mountain and ridgeline ordi-nance because of its elevation.

Waldbillig’s property’s low point is about 1,980 ft in eleva-tion and its high point is over 2,000 ft., according to Polk County GIS records.

Waldbillig has petitioned the City of Saluda for voluntary an-nexation, which would put the property city regulations, which do not specifically prohibit such development.

Saluda City Council directed the city clerk last Monday to investigate the voluntary an-nexation application. A public hearing will be required before Saluda decides whether to an-nex the property.

Waldbillig is proposing a 3.1-acre campground with 40 to 50 sites, a well site for water and a dump site for sewage. He says he plans to build a pool as well.

Campground plans also in-clude about 10 yurts or cabins for rental, included in the total site number. Yurts are portable, felt-covered, wood lattice-framed dwelling structures traditionally used by nomads that are more home-like than a tent, with thicker walls.

Waldbillig says the camp-ground will work with local whitewater outfitters for guests to participate in river sports.

The city will consider the satellite annexation and likely decide on a public hearing date next month. The zoning of the parcel would be R-3, which al-lows mobile homes.

Polk County is now research-ing its mountain and ridgeline ordinance with regard to this restriction, and officials say

they have not decided what to do about the issue.

County building inspector Steve Jones, who is also the ad-ministrator of the mountain and ridgeline ordinance, is looking into the issue. The county’s planning board or newly ap-poined Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Committee would likely also consider the issue if commissioners decide changes need to be made.

The county’s mountainside and ridgeline protection ordi-nance restricts building of all types at elevations of 1,650 ft. and above. It includes two ordi-nances, one for zoned townships and another for unzoned town-ships. Saluda Township is zoned, as are Tryon, Columbus and Green Creek townships, while Coopers Gap and White Oak townships remain unzoned.

The ordinance also includes increased restrictions at higher elevations, such as 2,250 and above.

The ordinance for the zoned areas states under its “restric-tions” section that “unless (and only to the extent) an exemption granted by Section 8 applies, permitted uses of property situat-ed in protected mountain terrain shall be limited to single family residences, accessory buildings, guest houses, private clubs (serv-ing exclusively the residents of a specific subdivision and their guests), customary home occu-pations and public utility build-ings and facilities, as those terms are defined in the Polk County Zoning Ordinance.”

Polk County adopted the ordinance in June, 2009 follow-ing public outcry as a result of Chocolate Drop, a development on the side of the mountain now in Columbus where much clearing was done and erosion problems followed.

At the same time, the county also adopted an erosion ordi-nance, but it has not yet begun enforcing it because of funding issues.

ReMax moving to Tryon, new sign for Tryon FederalReMax Advantage Realty

owners Bonnie Lingerfelt, Jean Skelcy and Richard Yurko are moving their firm to the Century 21 Tryon Real Estate building in Tryon later this year.

The three announced that they are purchasing the Century 21 building at 177 N. Trade St. and combining agencies with Allan Pruette, owner of Century 21. ReMax Advantage Realty currently has offices on Hwy. 108 just west of Columbus.

“We are excited and looking forward to the energetic and ex-panded business that will result with additional agents, greater synergy, growing market share and a repositioning of our firm,” Lingerfelt, Skelcy and Yurko said in an advertisement this week in the Tryon Daily Bulletin.

ReMax will also open a new va-cation and long-term rental depart-ment, the owners said, “to complete our brokerage services.”

* * *The exterior signage for Tryon

Federal Bank’s Tryon and Colum-bus office exteriors was changed last Wednesday with a new logo. This is an initiative the HomeTrust Bank partnership has rolled out to all its markets.

“The new logo/graphic of three upward pointing arrows repre-sents the ‘rooftops’ of homes, for individuals, businesses and com-munity – the three core segments we partner with every day to help achieve home ownership,” said Stacie Hicks, HomeTrust Director of Marketing. “Also, this initiative happens to coincide with Tryon Federal’s 75th anniversary.”

To celebrate 75 years, Tryon Federal Bank president Jerry John-son is hosting a BBQ lunch at the Tryon bank office tomorrow, Tues-day, Sept. 21, and at the Columbus office Thursday, Sept. 23, both from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

* * *Happy McLeod has started a

new business, Happy’s Meals, of-fering meals “prepared by servant hands that love to cook.”

“This food service is offered to

make your in-home dining a plea-sure, not a chore of grocery shop-ping, preparing meals, and cleaning up the kitchen,” McLeod said.

She plans to offer meals of natu-ral, fresh (when possible) organic foods; no processed or enriched products are used. McLeod will shop with IGA, Ingles, Bi-Lo and Food Lion, plus local fresh pro-duce stands (Benson's and Ayers). Whole Foods in Greenville, and The Fresh Market and Publix in Spartanburg are also options, she said. Other groceries will be con-sidered upon request.

A variety of recipes will be available, or customers’ own favor-ite dishes can be prepared.

“Foods are bought, brought to your home and prepared in your kitchen,” McLeod said. “Your kitchen is left clean at the end of the food prepara-tion.”

H a p p y ’ s M e a l s w i l l b e a v a i l a b l e Wednesday to Friday, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. and may be scheduled on a weekly, monthly, daily or special occasion basis. Service is provided on a first come - first served basis for a family or dinner up to 12.

For more information, contact Happy McLeod at 828-283-1177 or [email protected].

St. Luke’s offers screenings, talk on Alzheimer’s tomorrowOn Sept. 21, St. Luke’s Hos-

pital and organizations across the world will unite to recognize World Alzheimer’s Day, with the theme this year of ‘Dementia: It’s Time for Action!’

Alzheimer’s disease affects more than four million Ameri-cans and millions more of their families and caregivers. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s disease is a progres-sive brain disorder that gradually destroys a person’s memory and ability to learn, reason, make judg-ments, communicate and carry out daily activities. As Alzheimer’s progresses, individuals may also experience changes in personality and behavior, such as anxiety, sus-piciousness or agitation, as well as delusions or hallucinations.

Tomorrow, professionals through St. Luke’s Hospital’s Center of Be-havioral Medicine will provide free, confidential screenings to detect early dementia on Tuesday, Sept. 21, from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m., at 56 Hos-pital Drive, Suite 3B, Columbus, located in the St. Luke’s Hospital Medical Park. An appointment is necessary; please call 894-2408.

Also tomorrow, you can join Dr. Belynda Veser, psychiatrist at St. Luke’s Center of Behavioral Medicine, as she explains treatment options for Alzheimer’s and offers strategies for managing the dis-ease on at 6 p.m. in the St. Luke’s Hospital Board Room. Space is limited, so please call 894-2408 to reserve your spot. A light dinner will be served.

Polk County World Alzheimer's Day proclamationPolk commissioners recently issued the following proclamation:Whereas, today there are as many as 5.3 million Americans living

Hospice welcomes volunteers of all shapes, sizes and hairdos

What’s blonde and brown and furry all over? Why, it’s Dexter, the two-year-old Hospice volun-teer for Hospice of the Carolina Foothills.

This certified Hospice vol-unteer can be found Sunday afternoons reclining under the desk in the atrium of the Carolina Foothills Hospice House in Lan-drum. He snoozes quietly unless visitors pull open the glass en-trance doors. Then he peeks out from under the desk, tail wagging rhythmically.

“His welcome is subtle here,” his companion Maureen Smith explains, “not at all like the way he welcomes guests at home, where his ‘greeting disorder’ is on full display.”

In addition to being a Hos-pice volunteer, Dexter is also a certified guide dog, a graduate of Southeastern Guide Dogs in

Palmetto, Florida. He is a highly trained working dog, skilled at alerting his companion to obstacles like curbs, stairs and low-hanging branches.

“My vision is impaired from a serious car accident many years ago,” Maureen explains. Though her sight is still good enough to drive in the daytime, she made the decision, like many guide dog owners, to acquire her dog before her vision deteriorated further.

Because she feels so blessed to have Dexter in her life, Mau-reen says she enjoys sharing him with residents and visitors at the Hospice House, who can use a light-hearted distraction.

“Normally, when he is wear-ing his working harness with the Please Do Not Pet Me sign, I do

enforce it,” she says. “It’s a safety issue; if he got used to social-izing, he could pull me into the street to greet someone.”

It’s a different story at the Hospice House. “I think it would be cruel to have people, especial-ly children, look into those eyes and then be told that they cannot pet him. And it would be cruel to Dexter too,” she adds. So she takes his “work gear” off of him when he is at the Hospice House, where he is simply a dog.

“We had lunch with one pa-tient, who was otherwise unable to form words clearly. He and Dex-ter stared at each other through the entire meal, until the patient motioned for him to come to his side. ‘Soft,’ he said clearly with tears in his eyes, after petting Dex-ter’s ears. Now who do you think gets more out of Dexter coming to Hospice House – the residents or us?” Maureen asks, smiling.

She tells the story of an-other resident who asked to have Dexter brought to her bedside. Though obviously near exhaus-tion, the woman summoned the

energy to pet Dexter for such a long time that Maureen sat down in a nearby chair. “Don’t sit,” the resident advised. “I just wanted to pet your beautiful dog.”

“I thanked her for her honesty, and was very touched when the woman replied that honesty was one of the few gifts she had left to give. It’s amazing how dogs can slice right through the baloney and get to the heart of things,” Maureen says. “I think they bring out our honesty.”

“Dexter lives to serve,” she explains, watching him perk up when a food cart passes by in the atrium. “In fact, if he had oppos-able thumbs, I’m sure he’d love to deliver those food trays.”

You don’t have to have four legs and a fur coat to volunteer for Hospice of the Carolina Foot-hills. “We welcome volunteers of all shapes, sizes and hairdos,” says volunteer coordinator Trac-ey Brannon.

If you would like to learn more about volunteering for one of the many Hospice services, you can contact the volunteer department at 864-457-9125, 828-894-7000 or [email protected].

The Bird Box

by Simon Thompson

As the long days of summer start to shorten and the fall evenings grow cooler, many of our local birds start to move south for the winter. If you get the chance, go outside in the early evening and scan the darkening skies. You should start to see the beginnings of the Common Nighthawk migration that passes through our area of the country.

From the last few days in August through the end of Sep-tember, large numbers of these very impressive birds enliven the evening skies with their distinctive shapes.

The Common Nighthawk is a member of a large, worldwide family that in-cludes the night-jars of Europe and Asia, and the Whip-poor-wills and Chuck-wills-widows of the US, Central and South America.

Most, if not all, of these cryptically-colored species are nocturnal, but the nighthawks are also visible in the evenings and sometimes throughout the daylight hours. They can sometimes be found roosting lengthwise along branches or power-lines or perched on top of wooden fence-posts. If dis-

turbed, the birds bound off like l a r g e b r o w n moths only to set-tle again a short distance away.

The Common Nigh thawk i s about 10 inch-es long, around the size of the familiar Ameri-can Robin, but is completely gray-brown in color-ation. Its wings and tail have white panels on their tips, which appear like white holes in the bird’s wing

feathers.In flight,

t h e n i g h t -hawks are un-mistakable as they lurch and veer around chasing their

favorite food of large moths and other insects. The birds bounce around in a most peculiar man-ner appearing to be on the end of a piece of string that is being tugged at irregular intervals.

Common Nighthawks, or to use their local name of “Bull-bats”, are found throughout the Carolinas during the breeding season, but their range is rather disjunctive, and birds are often

the common nighthawk migration begins

absent from seemingly suitable areas.

If you have never seen and enjoyed these birds, now is the time to get outside and really enjoy the southbound passage of nighthawks as they pass over in the evening sky. Some days it may be possible to see hundreds of them as they wheel overhead feeding on their way south to the grasslands of southern South America.

Saluda News &

Notationsby Bonnie Bardos

Kudzilla, zinnias, tailgate market make Saluda great“...The dry scent of a dying

garden in September / the wind fanning the ash of a low fire. / What I love is near at hand / always, in earth and air.” ~Theo-dore Roethke, excerpt from The Far Field

Welcome to mid-September Saluda notes and notations! Sweet mornings are cool, spi-ders weave sparkled webs, cricket songs grace the slow afternoon. Scampering squir-rels are busy packing acorns for winter...summer corn dries in wide clay river-bottom fields, apples hang low and ripe.

Kudzu-eat-ing “Kudzilla” is one heck of a kudzu-eatin’ machine: look at Thompson/Ozone and see what you think of a reclaimed corner. Kudzilla stays in Spartanburg, usually, but he was sent up on a special trip to Saluda recently. Thanks to our Saluda Community Land Trust folks who go out and battle kudzu: I think we all need to gang up on the monster before it eats Polk County. Seems like this year is the worst ever.

By the way, Saluda Com-munity Land Trust meets the third Wednesday of the month at 3 p.m. at McCreery Park pa-vilion. They are always looking for volunteers; as is our Saluda Center.

Tosh’s Whistlestop is mov-ing to the Depot this month.

Our own Aaron Burdett is releasing his third CD, and will be performing live on WNCW’s Studio B on Sept. 24. His songs are genuine, often poignant, down-to-earth.

Keep in mind that the Saluda tailgate market with fresh local produce and other goodies is on Fridays at the city parking lot off Main Street (follow the signs) from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. It continues into October, so stop by and take advantage of being

able to buy local treats. I loaded up on an armful

of colorful zinnias, tomatoes, moist pound cake, cocoa-dusted pecans, veggie soup and warm hugs on my last trip. Everybody was so kind and friendly: and I came away from Deerfield Farms booth with an exotic looking tomato to try...she hand-ed it to me, and said “enjoy!” I will, I will!

The zinnias made my day: a large bright splotch of color...inspiration for new paintings. There is much joy in fresh flow-

ers cut from a g a r d e n . Indeed. The good feeling still is here. Come on by, and load up on Saluda

charm and warmth! Speaking of warmth, we just

had a fantastic town barbecue—despite the overcast day, fog and drizzle, lots of folks came out to enjoy great music, food, and companionship. I knew I would not have to eat alone — and that is the sheer beauty of a town like Saluda. No one has to be a stranger and eat off in a corner by themselves....folks just embrace you right on in: everybody’s family!

I will admit to checking out the dessert table a time or two!

Thank you to Judy Ward and Clark Thompson for carrying on Charlie’s tradition, and all who donated or gave time! We had political candidates show up, lots of happy kids, old timers, and a mellow crowd. That’s what makes Saluda special.

Art note: if you’re an artist who is a master of train/railroad themed murals, take pictures of your best work (with price rang-es) and drop your information off for Judy Ward to take a look at. She’s often down working hard on Main Street at Thomp-son’s Store/Ward’s Grill. Saluda artist Dale McEntire has a show up at Grovewood Gallery at

Grove Park Inn, Asheville. It’s a beautiful exhibit, and features Dale’s paintings and sculpture.

I ran into Mike Belleme there, and have to brag on him, too...he’s traveling a lot with camera, and has accolades in the photography world. I remember when he was jumping around on gym mats at Saluda School!

Simple joys: warm fresh bread, a ride in a golf cart up the hill, golden leaf drifting over blue water.

Garden notes: Autumn Joy sedum is a workhorse garden plant: this time of year, it’s attracting all sorts of bees, but-terflies. Wasps enjoy it too: I just let them all have it, and am glad to see those bees working it over. The bees are loving my purple basil, which has been flowering with hundreds of tiny blooms.

What do you think about outdoor lighting? I think that it is time we consider a ‘night sky’ ordinance or at least cur-tail unnecessary outdoor light-ing which can be invasive. Most lights can be down-lit and shielded. Many towns in Cali-fornia have adopted this policy, and it makes a big difference.

Oscar Harbin is doing better — which is good news to share. Condolences go to the family of Jay Hahn and Charles Wolff.

Happy September Birth-days to Dale McEntire, Joni Rauschenbach, Peggy Mof-fat, Sonya Monts, Linda Kaye Haynes, Carol Kenfield, Debbie Fisher, Leslie Jespersen, Linda Mintz, Betty Thompson, Sheila Billeter, Cary Pace, Ross Ar-rington. Feel free to add your birthday to the list!

What’s on your September reading list? Seems like I keep a pair of reading glasses at all my favorite places to sit these days! On my list, The Lacuna is still waiting to be finished, although The Help got finished (and enjoyed), Evidence, and Him Her Him Again: The End of Him, plus piles of magazines

that I need to weed through and send to the post office table in Tryon to share. Just call me pack rat!

Remember to join and sup-port our local libraries — we have wonderful people who work at them, which I can at-test to, remembering how when I first came to Polk County, I found my way quickly to the old library building that was downtown Columbus — and the Bookmobile when it came up to the park in Saluda when we didn’t have a library yet.

I can remember when I was a little girl, and my pipe-smoking, opera loving dad took me one summer Saturday afternoon to town to get my very own card: it was blue and made me feel like I owned the world (which in a way you really do when you’re a kid and get your very first library card). I loved the smell of the books in the stacks, and how they felt when I pulled them out — there were books about everything imaginable: I made friends with bees, fairies, mythology, history, art, and so many places, all there in a library—hours spent reading, browsing the endless rows, each title an invitation to discover something new, or a writer.

I’ve never lost my love of the scent of a book, the feel, and the turn of the first page, and how I feel when I have one that I’m itching to read, carrying it home as if it was a treasure.

Thank you for your much ap-preciated thoughts and continu-ing feedback about this column! It brightens my day to know YOU read it. As ever, the goal is to make you, dear reader, feel like you’re enjoying a front porch visit with me — porch swing, birds singing, watching those spider webs sparkle with dew.

Keep in mind if you have something of note, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected]; or call me at 749-1153. You may also visit my website at bonniebardos.com

Local history of American LegionEditor’s note: In light of

Tryon’s recent 125th Birthday celebration, Roger Durham, Post Historian of American Legion Post #250, submitted the following:

As post historian [of American Legion Post #250], I recently sat down with Mr. Howard Greene and talked about the early days at the American Legion. Mr. Greene is one of the last charter members, so I figured he was the man to talk to.

Mr. Greene said he first at-tended a Legion meeting at the Mill Spring school with his father-in-law in December, 1945, and joined that night. After the January 1946 meeting it was moved to the Courthouse in Columbus.

In 1947, we decided to build a building in Tryon. So Thurston Arledge went up and down the street getting merchants to sign $500 notes. Altogether he got $15,000 in notes signed. Mr. Arledge heard that Tryon was going to get a new post office, so he talked them into renting the top floor for the post office and received rent from the govern-ment for 20 years. The American Legion paid off the debt on the building; none of the merchants lost a penny.

For one of the first fund-raisers, the Legion decided to buy a new 1947 Ford and sell tickets for $1 each. The new car cost less than $1,000 and we sold $4,000 worth of tickets. The community donated furniture to furnish the club room downstairs. We had a club room manager and they played poker with some proceeds gonig to the American Legion. They also sold beer and soft drinks. The bar was open for each

meeting and about every three months the Legion would have a chicken supper which was free to members, with all you could drink. This lifestyle lasted for several years. Mr. Sel Edwards was the club room manager and if anyone got out of order he would send you out the door.

Some of the hard workers over the years were Thurston Arledge, J.T. Foster, John McGuinn, Charles Lankford, Edwood Mar-tin, Sel Edwards, Howard Greene and Thommy Thompson. None of the workers received any pay.

Mr. Howard Greene was com-mander of Post #250 for many years and also served as adjutant and treasurer for many years.

Mr. Greene says he enjoys the American Legion because it does good things for people, children and veterans, their widows and disabled veterans.

For a number of years we have donated money to the Thermal Belt Outreach and each year we give a scholarship to a senior from Polk County High School and Landrum High School.

In later years, George Scofield was commander and he started a violin program, with more than 400 children eventually in the program. Mr. Scofield also started Friday Night Bingo, which is still going strong today. Bingo is our biggest fund-raiser, which enables us to make the donations mentioned above and send students to Boys State. Boys State is a week-long camp held at Catawba College in Salisbury. During this week they study gov-ernment processes.

Post #250 sponsored Harley Gaddy of Polk County High School, who went to Boys State in 2003. In 2009, he was elected

hoWarD greene

to serve as Detachment Com-mander for the Sons of Ameri-can Legion (SAL) for North Carolina.

In 1994, Mr. Greene began as a volunteer with the VA hospital in Asheville. He would take vet-erans up to Asheville about 8 a.m. for their appointments and while there he would work as an escort all day until around 4 p.m., then bring the veterans back home. He made this 110-mile round trip for 12 years, simply because he enjoys helping people.

Current officers of American Legion Post #250 are: com-mander, Mike Collins; 1st vice commander, Leonard Wells; 2nd vice commander, Tom DeVries; adjutant, Morton Poliakoff; chap-lain and finance, Glenn Burgess; sergeant-at-arms, Erwin Fletcher; post historian, Roger Durham.
