Polk County considers lowering minimum subdivision lot sizesPublic hearing MondaybyLeahJustice

Polk County is considering some ma-jor changes to its subdivision ordinance, including lowering minimum lot sizes for major subdivisions.

The county’s unified development

ordinance (UDO) committee is recom-mending lowering the minimum lot sizes for major subdivision to 2, 3 and 5 acres from the current 5- and 7-acre minimums. Other major changes include implementing a point system for major

Old grenade found on Melrose Inn propertybySamanthaHurst

Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arrowood met State Bureau of Investigation officers at the Melrose Inn Thursday, Nov. 17 after owner Marilyn Doheny called to say a potential grenade had been found on the back portion of the property, located on Melrose Avenue in Tryon.

“We don’t have many things like this called in,” Arrowood said. “But we don’t want to take it lightly. Our job was mainly to rope the property off so no one could get to the grenade and potentially be harmed.”

David Salmeri, who works as a handyman for Doheny, said he was cutting vines and clearing brush when he came across the grenade in the ground.

He said at first he thought it was just a piece off an old item of fur-niture.

“So I kicked the thing to get it out

of the ground,” Salmeri said. “Once it came loose I immedi-ately realized what it was – it was just so rusted, but you could see the clasp and pin.”

Salmeri quickly found Doheny, who called the Tryon Police Department.

“We thought maybe it was some sort of antique from the Civil War or World War II. It was very heavy,” Doheny said. “We were just surprised because someone has been on the property with a metal detector and didn’t find it.”

Salmeri said the over-growth on the back edge of the property likely prevented anyone from coming near it.

“Before the landscaping crew came in, it was just so overgrown back there – there’s no telling how long that thing has been there,” Salmeri said.

Investigators did not take the grenade lightly. They care-fully removed the item from the property and sealed it into an explosives box to transport it to a lab where it could be destroyed.

subdivisions to determine whether an environmental impact study will be required and allowing minor subdivisions to take advantage of the county’s cluster development opportunities.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on the proposed changes on Monday, Nov. 21 at 5 p.m. in the commissioner’s meeting room of the Womack Building in Colum-bus. The regular meeting begins at 3 p.m. but commissioners will break from the meeting to hold the public hearing.

Polk County Planner Cathy Ruth reviewed the changes during the commissioners’ Nov. 7 meet-ing. Ruth said the UDO commit-tee is working on combining the county’s ordinances but decided to take out the subdivision ordinance and address it separately.

Ruth said the committee has included a separate property own-ers’ association section to protect property owners; this section was added because of recent incidents of subdivision owners going into bankruptcy.

The new subdivision ordinance draft also includes two processes for approval depending on whether an environmental impact study is required. If a major subdivision scores 100 points or more in the new proposed point system, the approval process will be quasi-judicial. If the subdivision scores less than 100 points, the approval process will be administrative through the planning board.

A major subdivision will be scored on a point system depend-ing on many factors, including the acreage; open space; whether the

property is in the mountain and ridgeline protection range; whether the subdivision has public water and/or sewer; whether it’s located near trout waters, land trust/con-servation properties or historic properties and whether the property contains slopes, among several other factors.

Using clustering development gives a subdivision credit in the point system. A property receives high points for being in the moun-tain ridgeline protection area, being in a flood area and not being con-nected to a public water system, for example.

Ruth said the committee is at-tempting to address environmental concerns with the changes. With the point system, the committee is trying to give incentives for developers to avoid developing on slopes and to include open space to minimize the impact on the environment.

An environmental impact study is a document that describes the positive and negative environ-mental effects of a proposed sub-division. If necessary, the envi-ronmental impact study will be required at the preliminary plat stage of the approval process for major subdivisions, according to the draft ordinance. Traffic impact studies may also be required for major subdivisions.

Perhaps the greatest proposed change is the lot size minimum requirements. Polk County has had a 7-acre lot minimum since 2008 for major subdivisions without public water and sewer. Currently, the smallest lot allowed is 5 acres with public water and sewer.

The draft subdivision ordinance includes options for minimum lot

sizes of 2, 3 and 5 acres, depending on the source of water and sewer (see chart on page 4). These stan-dards are for major subdivisions in areas that don’t have more restric-tive lot size requirements, such as in Hunting Country, where the minimum lot size is 5 acres.

Polk County can adopt the changes to the subdivision ordi-nance following the public hearing next week.

Landrum approves one-time salary bonus for employeesbySamanthaHurst

Landrum City Council voted 6-1 to give a one-time 3-percent salary bonus to the city’s em-ployees.

City Administrator Steve Wolochowicz had suggested the increase during the budgeting process but council held off on approving the measure until after they saw end-of-the-year financial state-ments.

Wo l o c h o -wicz said the city’s revenues came in 1 per-cent over what was anticipated, which meant Landrum was able to place $126,261 into its fund balance after last fiscal year. The total cost for the salary bonus, meanwhile, will be $14,590.

Councilman Billy Inman vot-ed against the move, saying he felt citizens would not understand the bonuses after past council decisions.

“It’s hard for me to justify a cost-of-living raise in a budget year when we just increased taxes,” Inman said.

Wolochowicz said the cost-of-living bonus would be a one-time boost and would not increase

other payroll costs because it would not cause a need for changes in areas such as retire-ment. Wolochowicz in fact has lowered the current budget year’s anticipated revenues to prepare for possible decreases in collec-tion of revenue.

Since 2005, Wolochowicz s a i d a s s e t s have increased steadily.

“ I t h i n k considering the t imes we’ve been through, we’ re do ing great,” Mayor Robert Briggs said during a work session Nov. 8.

T h e c i t y d id go over expenditures for police fleet

repairs, insurance, dead tree removal and workmen’s comp, Wolochowicz said, but other departments kept budgets tight. The fire department, for example, made extra efforts to apply for any grants possible, Wolocho-wicz said.

“I think most of the council felt that the fund balance in-crease had a lot to do with the staff working hard to trim their budgets,” he said. “Some of these folks haven’t had bonuses or sal-ary increases since 2009.”

McCurry gets probation for Grover Industries break-insbyLeahJustice

The man accused of stealing copper from Grover Industries in Lynn was sentenced last week in Polk County District Court.

Timothy William McCurry, 39, was charged on Sept. 2 with three counts of felony breaking and or entering and three counts of felony larceny after break/enter for the alleged crimes.

Judge Athena F. Brooks handed down two six to eight month sen-tences, which were suspended for McCurry to serve two terms of 18 months of supervised probation. McCurry was also fined $100 and court costs.

Officers with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office had been investi-

gating the stealing of copper from the former plant for about a month and a half. After setting up surveil-lance around the property, officers figured out a routine and on Sept. 2, Sgt. Mike Wheeler went to the plant around 3 a.m. and found a vehicle there.

Officers swarmed the plant and found McCurry hiding in a drain-age area in the basement.

Officers estimated McCurry had been taking copper from the plant in small amounts on each visit over a three or four month period.

An estimated $150,000 of dam-age was done to the building, with an estimated $30,000 to $40,000 of copper stolen, according to sheriff office reports.

Pharmacist Ben Searcy speaks to Columbus Lions

L a n d r u m C V S pharmacist Ben Searcy recently gave the Co-lumbus Lions an in-formative presentation about over-the-counter cold and allergy medi-cations. Lions learned that although there are many brands of these medications, they share a relatively few active ingredients. Searcy provided a handout explain-ing which ingredients are best for specific symptoms and what side effects might be experienced. The Lions also learned about the wide price variations among

different brands with the same ingredients. Searcy stressed that, when in doubt, one should always consult with the pharmacist. Following his pre-sentation he gave the Lions flu shots.

The Columbus Li-ons meet on the first

and third Thursday evenings at Cal-vert’s Restaurant in Columbus, and they encourage anyone interested in community service to visit with them. For information, call Fran Goodwin at 828-894-2505.

Art in Bloom event to expand to Landrum in 2012bySamanthaHurst

Art will bloom to life in down-town Landrum next spring just as it did this past year in Tryon.

The Landrum City Council Nov. 8 approved a request to block off a portion of Trade Avenue May 12 for Art in Bloom, an art and garden bazaar sponsored by the Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC).

Event chair Judy Warden brought the request to council and explained that the event helps to promote farmers, artists and nurser-ies, all while working to beautify the towns involved.

“The concept of artscapes is to develop in Tryon, Landrum and Columbus small pockets of spaces to create public art,” Warden said. “This event raises funds to support that project.”

The event started in Tryon with 10 vendors. Organizers anticipate at least 30 signing up this year. Vendors who participate kick back 15 percent of their sales from the bazaar to the artscapes project. In its first year, Art in Bloom raised $1,500. The next year it raised $2,500.

Vendors and attendees travel to the event from Asheville, N.C., Hendersonville, N.C., Shelby, N.C. and other surrounding communities.

TFAC board member Stuart Evans conceived the idea for the event a few years ago.

“I think this is just the beginning

of something that could grow into a really exciting event that will not only beautify our area but support our artists,” Stewart said.

Evans said the arts center wants to focus on the “TLC” of the area – Tryon, Landrum and Columbus.

Evans said in the past, the group has always promoted the Columbus Farmers Market at the bazaars but would like to do something more formal to connect the events.

Melanie Jennings, president of the Landrum Business Associa-tion, said she would be in favor of participating in this event instead of Landrum’s own Home and Garden Stroll in an effort to connect the communities in a common goal.

About 400 people took part in the last garden tours and more than 600 visited the bazaar in Tryon last year, Evans said.

The weekend-long event in 2012 will run May 11-13. On Fri-day, May 11 there will be a gala to raise money for the Tryon Fine Arts Center; Saturday, May 12 will feature tours of five gardens and of course, the bazaars in Tryon and Landrum; and then Sunday a recep-tion at TFAC will be held for a juried sculpture show.

Evans said she currently knows of no other juried event that focuses strictly on sculpture.

“We think this is something that could grow and become of regional importance,” Evans said.

the blanks. For example, the scam caller might say, “It’s me, your favorite grandchild,” to which the grandparent will guess the name of the grandchild it sounds the most like and then the call proceeds from there.

In the updat-ed scam, callers identify them-selves by spe-cific name as a particular family member. They

lace their conversation with cor-rect references by name to other family members, increasing their credibility. One caller even knew that the real person being imper-sonated had a twin who was born two minutes later.

Law enforcement officials con-tacted by the BBB are not certain how perpetrators are obtaining the inside knowledge or phone numbers for victims.

Victims of this scam are en-couraged to come forward and report it through a new feature on the BBB home page called Scam Source and then click on “Spot a Scam?” to report it.

Victims should also file a com-plaint with the police department and their regional FBI office. An impostor scam can also be reported to the FTC at www.ftc.gov or 1-877-FTC-HELP. If the money was wired to Canada, contact the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (formerly Phonebusters) at www.antifraudcentre.ca or 888 495-8501.

To protect themselves from this scam, and other scams that may use a distressed-loved-one tactic, BBB is advising people to remain calm and confirm the status of the individual by calling them back directly or verifying the story with other family members.

The BBB also encourages people to limit the amount of personal information shared on social media sites and to only “friend” people they personally know themselves.

Protect yourself and your fam-ily by developing code words; it could save you a lot of heartache.

Scammers, those lowest of the low, continue to ply their trade and update their skills in order to prey on us.

While the scams were once tar-geted to unsuspecting and vulner-able individuals, they have gotten so sophisticated that anyone is a potential victim. In recent weeks we have heard of the “grandpar-ent scam” being used on two different local fami-lies. In one case the caller pre-tended to be a grandson-in-law, who is in the Air Force, stationed overseas.

The “grandson-in-law” went on to say that he and his friend were fishing in Barcelona when they were arrested and placed in jail for not having fishing licenses. They needed $2,000 for bail. The man on the phone provided contact phone numbers and also numbers for Western Union in case they needed help in making the transfer.

Being the good people the grandparents are, they couldn’t let the young men stay in jail and therefore wired the money. It was only after they had wired the money and they wanted to make sure that the money got there that things began to fall apart.

The call to Western Union to ensure the money got there revealed there was no one there by the name they had been given. The money was gone and the sad reality is the perpetrators will probably never be caught.

In August the BBB issued a RED ALERT regarding this new twist on the Grandparent Scam and under the circumstances I think we should share it again.

According to the BBB the scam involves the caller already knowing detailed information regarding family members. In addition, the calls are not targeted strictly at seniors and the money requested is to be wired.

The scammers’ basic tactic is to pose as a grandchild and let the unsuspecting grandparent fill in

Tuba Christmas in Columbus was inaugurated in December 1998 with 39 players. This free program of carols and other Christmas music began in the Stearns School auditorium. Since that year, the concert of tubas, euphoniums and baritone horns has grown to 70 players, and the performances have moved to the PCHS auditorium.

Nationally, Tuba Christmas events were created through the efforts of Harvey Phillips, a famous tuba player, in the 1970s. Now there are more than 200 Tuba Christmas events in the United States.

Locally, Tuba Christmas was started by coordinator Stanley Howell of Columbus. Bill Bryant of A.C. Reynolds High School has been the fourth conductor. Cindy Gilbert, band director at PCHS, is the host; Jean Howell of Columbus is the carol sing-ing director and Manfred Walter of Mill Spring is the assistant coordinator.

The Western Carolinas Clas-sic Radio Club will meet Mon-day, Nov. 21 at 2 p.m. in Studio 118 on the ICC Polk campus.

The Lux Radio Theater will present the classic “It’s a Won-derful Life,” starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. This radio adaptation first aired on March 19, 1947.

The film by Frank Capra is about a man who thinks he has no meaning in life until an angel shows him differently. Many people believe it is the best “feel good” movie ever.

The Lux Radio Theater aired on the radio from June 1935 to

June 1955 and was the most im-portant dramatic show in radio.

Professor Hoyt will keep at-tendees guessing with his trivia quiz during intermission.

Immediately following the WCCR program, at ap-proximately 3:05 p.m., the last of the fall jazz series on WOTJ will feature two authentic New Orleans style jazz artists.

Come listen to two rare recordings of Oscar “Papa” Celestin and George Lewis and His New Orleans Rhythm Boys.

Everyone is welcome and it is free.

“I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.”

- NietzscheScarlet maple leaves dance

in a chill fall wind as I write this column. Watching those leaves scattering, I remember a smile I just saw last week from someone who is now gone. You see, Saluda lost a young man, one of its own: Wayne Dickson, son of Karen Johnson and Blake Dickson.

Killed in a car crash on Tuesday (his mother’s birthday) the loss was sudden, unexpected—that very morning I’d called Karen to wish her happy birthday, and by the time I drove up at her house in the afternoon, she’d just found out. Life can change in one instant.

Of course, none of us know when our time is up, or if we will face losing one of our children, the greatest loss imaginable to a parent. I found myself hugging my own son and everyone else much harder this past week, hug-ging and telling so many people that I love them - it just seemed even more important not to let a moment go by.

Death reminds us that time is fleeting and what we have is love and each other in this world. It’s what truly matters and material things become meaningless in the end. Love remains. It’s our most valuable gift to each other.

So, this past Sunday, Susan Casey and Stoney Lamar opened up the Purple Onion in downtown Saluda for family and friends to come together with the Thomas-Johnson families to share a cel-

ebration in honor of Wayne. There were tears, hugs, and in it all a powerful connection of great love and caring.

Aaron Burdett, a hometown guy who’s made good on the music scene, strummed songs, giving lift to the spirit of Wayne. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the house.

People spoke and remembered a 28-year-old young man who died too soon, with much tenderness in their hearts. Stories were told.

Laughter and smiles came out with the sun. Toasts with “Wayne’s beer” rose high like a Wayne smile, good fresh coffee steamed, the food table was loaded high, and love surrounded every person there. People sat down and ate. They talked. They held each other. They visited. They hugged. They cared and they loved.

There it is: that deep-rooted Saluda community bond with warmth, connectedness, and ap-preciation of one another. Like a big family, folks may fuss and fight, but when it comes to hard times and loss, there they are—holding each other up. Tragedy can hit any one of us at any time: and it goes to show that each of us matters, and we’re part of the thread that make a tapestry beauti-ful. We’re not alone.

Kids ran and played outside the Purple Onion: their laughter a

symbol of life and new beginnings; that life does go on. Those kids are part of a community and ‘belong’ to the village. Somehow, I have a feeling that Wayne is somewhere smiling.

Congratulations to newcomer Lynn Cass and incumbent Leon Morgan for winning the recent Sa-luda election for city council seats. Saluda had a great voter turn-out compared to the rest of the county. We rock the vote up here!

Get your Harley ready to ride, and toys to donate to the Polk County Toy Run: register at Sa-luda Fire Department from 11-1:30 p.m., Nov. 26. The bike parade starts at 2 p.m. I usually stand outside my house watching leather-clad riders roar off into the sunset with toys strapped on their bikes, and find myself wishing to ride along!

Thank you to Saluda Method-ist Church for their wonderful turkey dinner fund-raiser at Saluda School. I hope they will award Thomas Monts and Hop Foster an award for overseeing parking.Many volunteers chip in to roast turkeys, make pies, sell tickets and park cars.

Jim and Beth Carson are proud that son Jay has been included in Fortune magazine’s 40 under 40 to Watch.

Thank you for reading this column. As ever, the goal is to make you, dear reader, feel like you’re enjoying a front porch visit with me. You can contact me at [email protected]; or 828-749-1153, visit my website at bonnie-bardos.com for more writing and art, or find me on facebook.

At times, the Landrum girls’ basketball team was dominant last season. The Lady Cardinals finished 14-10 after a first round playoff loss to Ware Shoals.

The biggest loss this season from that team is Jordan Jenkins, but the new head coach Deon Brice is excited about what’s in store for the Lady Cardinals.

Landrum is returning eight starters this year, including start-ing point guard Macy Atkins and senior forward Skylar Henderson.

Henderson brings toughness to the floor with scrappy defense, hard rebounding and relentless offense.

“I’m excited about this year,” Henderson said. “I think we are going to surprise a lot of people.”

For Atkins, this year’s team is going to bring some intangibles to the table.

“I expect us to work harder this year and hopefully win a state title,” Atkins said. “We are going to work together and improve as a team.”

For Brice, this is his first year as the head coach of the Lady Cardinals. Last season, he was on the bench next to retired head coach Roy Parton as an assistant. He’s the Landrum Middle School football coach and coached mid-dle school basketball in District Five.

What’s he going to instill in this team on the hardwood?

“This year’s team is going to be aggressive,” he said. “I think we’ll be able to move the ball up and down the court quickly.”

The goals for this season are simple, Brice said. First, the Lady Cardinals want to contend for a region championship and second, make the playoffs.

Coach Craig Culbreth ex-pects the speed of his varsity girl’s basketball team to be its strength going into the new season, which begins Nov. 12 against Rosman.

“For us to be a competitive team this year we will have to get the ball up and down the floor quickly, and play good pressure defense,” Culbreth said.

Last year’s team ended the season with a positive 14-12 record but this year’s team lacks experience.

Culbreth will see six seniors return this year, along with six

juniors, a sophomore and a freshman taking to the court. But out of those six returning seniors, only two were start-ers. So, Culbreth said this year would be about constant improvement and hard work.

“We are working hard to develop our talents and chem-istry,” Culbreth said. “Our plan is to continue to improve all season long. We play in a very tough conference.”

One of those returning start-ers will be senior Jamie Hro-bak. Hrobak is a 5' 11" post player who holds the school’s

single game rebound record with 17. Culbreth said Hrobak is a well-conditioned athlete with a tremendous work ethic. He expects Hrobak to take on a key leadership role.

Culbreth is also looking for his tallest player, 6’1 senior Rachel Vining, to grab a few

rebounds and blocked shots of her own.

Culbreth said his other se-niors, such as Cassidy Mazzilli, who can play all positions from guard to center, and guard Alys-sa Montgomery, will also need to step up in leadership roles.

“Montgomery will have to get our offense running and get the ball up the floor. Also on perimeter are Shalyn Brown

Although she has just begun her senior year at Polk County High School, Jamie Hrobak has already enjoyed a measure of success on the softball diamond that any athlete would be proud to attain. As the staff pitching ace for the Lady Wolverines, Hrobak has compiled a truly remarkable list of achievements.

A three-time all-conference and two-time all-state selection, Hro-bak was named District 8 Pitcher of the Year as a junior, posting a record of 18-6 with an ERA of 1.32 and 225 strikeouts. Last season, she became the first single pitcher to throw a perfect game in the his-tory of Polk County. As the team’s MVP, she already holds the school record for career victories with 47, even though she is still months away from throwing the first pitch of her senior season.

With such an impressive list of accomplishments, it is little wonder that coaches from colleges across the southeast have lined up for the opportunity to secure the services of Polk’s ace flamethrower. And on Wednesday, Hrobak put an end to the suspense surrounding her athletic future, signing her letter of intent to attend Brevard College next fall.

Snagging an athlete of Hrobak’s caliber is a major recruiting vic-tory for Brevard head coach Britne Stubbs, who has molded the Torna-dos into a winning program since taking the reins four years ago.

According to Polk County Athletic Director Jeff Wilson, the bidding for Hrobak’s services was intense.

“The great thing about it is that so many schools wanted her,” commented Wilson at the signing Wednesday. “My goal is to get a player five or six schools to look at and visit, but Jamie did far better than anyone we’ve ever had.”

Given the multitude of available options, Hrobak acknowledged the decision was difficult, but ul-timately she felt Brevard was the best fit for her.

“I really like the coach, and I met the team – I spent a lot of time on the campus, and I really liked it,” said Hrobak. “It was hard, though – it took quite a while to decide.”

Hrobak, a member of the Future Teachers of America club at Polk

and a National Honor Society student with a 4.01 GPA, intends to major in education.

“I’m planning to be a math teacher, probably sixth grade,” said Hrobak, who has put significant, and specific, thought into what she hopes to accomplish in the future.

Hrobak’s parents, on hand for the signing, clearly approve of their daughter’s choices.

“Our focus is on the education, primarily,” said her father, Mike Hrobak. “I want her to do what she wants to do with softball and have fun, have a good education and be the best that she can be.”

The fact that Brevard is close to home is a bonus as well, according to Jamie’s mother.

“I’m happy that she is happy,” said Mandy Hrobak. “First and foremost is education, and Brevard has what she needs.”

With the weighty decision of selecting a college behind her, Hrobak is free to focus on other important matters, including play-ing basketball, concentrating on her studies and enjoying her senior year.

Then, of course, there is some unfinished business to take care of next spring, when Hrobak hopes to help lead Polk to a state softball championship.

Given her talent and determina-tion, there is no doubt that the Lady Wolverines will be a strong con-tender in the race for the state title.

and Amber Lynch. Both play-ers will provide our team with speed and athleticism,” Cul-breth said.

Junior Savannah Deaver, an-other 5’ 11”post player, is fast for her size, Culbreth said and will need to score and rebound for the team. He said Deaver has tremendous potential.

Returning from injuries will be senior Taylor Collins and

junior Emily Miller. Katie Ruff, Makenzie White,

Sarah Davis and Lyric Flood will move from the JV squad to varsity this season, while freshman Kara Overholt is also expected to bring skill and knowledge of the game to the varsity Lady Wolverines.

Assistant coaches this sea-son are Mark Mazzilli and Michelle Fagan.

"Professional Work at the best prices guaranteed!"

This is the third installment in a series on dietary supplements. Before getting back to minerals, I’d like to go over a few more vi-tamins. Let’s start with vitamin D.

Vitamin D is actually not a vitamin at all, but rather acts more like a hormone. One of vitamin D’s biggest roles is in maintain-ing bone den-sity. Vitamin D is sometimes called the sun-shine vitamin, because your skin can synthesize it from ultraviolet light.

In fact, studies show that as people live farther from the equa-tor, they are at greater risk of breast, colon, ovarian and prostate cancer. Daily allowance: 400-800IU.

Vitamin E. Next to vitamin C, vitamin E is America’s most popu-lar vitamin, and with good reason. Many studies suggest that vitamin E acts as a powerful antioxidant and helps in the prevention of cer-tain age related diseases like cancer and heart disease by protecting tissues and other substances from oxidation. Vitamin E is a group of fat-soluble compounds such as alpha-, beta-, delta-, and gamma- tocopherol; and alpha-, beta-, delta-, and gamma-tocotrienol.

Most research done, though, has been on alpha-tocopherol. Vitamin E slows the aging process by helping cells have a longer life. Studies suggest it helps the im-mune system, helps with wound healing, lessens fibrocystic breast disease in women and, along with vitamin C and beta carotene, even helps prevent cataracts. Daily al-lowance: 400-600IU. (I actually prefer vitamin E succinate, which is a dry, water-soluble form).

Vitamin K. We not only get vi-tamin K from food, but we produce it from bacteria in our intestines. One of vitamin K’s roles is in the function of blood clotting. Defi-ciencies of vitamin K have also been linked to osteoporosis (loss of bone density) and atheroscle-rosis (hardening of the arteries). Daily allowance: I recommend you check with your physician

before supplementing your diet with vitamin K, especially if you are on anticoagulant therapy.

Okay, back to minerals and phosphorus.

Phosphorus is actually the second most abundant mineral in the body. This means the average person is carrying around about

1.5 pounds of it. Most of it is found in our bones and teeth

(about 80-90 percent). Phospho-rus plays a vital role in energy, metabolism, muscle contraction, nerve impulses, hormone secre-tion and protein synthesis. Daily allowance: 200mg.

Magnesium. Magnesium is also needed for health teeth and bones, but it, along with sodium, potassium and calcium, affects the muscle tone of blood vessels. This has been shown to help control cardiovascular disease. Daily al-lowance: 500-750mg.

Zinc. Zinc is necessary for the production of more than twenty enzymes associated with different metabolic functions by the body. It helps treat mental and physical stress and is essential for proper vi-sion. Zinc helps keep the immune system strong, and the prostate gland healthy. Deficiencies in zinc can lead to complications in diabet-ics, and there also seems to be a link between deficiencies in zinc and those with anorexia nervosa.

Iron. Iron is another nutrient that’s found in every cell in the body. Most of the iron in our bodies (about 75%) is found in our red blood cells in the form of hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin is a protein-iron compound that serves as sort of a “glue” that bonds oxygen to red blood cells. This oxygen is then carried, released ,and held by every cell in the body. If the body’s iron stores are depleted, anemia results.

Anemia symptoms include fatigue, difficulty swallowing, heart palpitations during exertion, irritability and a general lack of well being.

Going over a few more vitamins


A21

Over the past five years or so, a great many animals have crossed my path. Most fade to the back of my mind and only come to the forefront when something or someone brings them back to my attention. But there are a select few who have branded their names upon my heart so deeply that a mere memory instantly brings them to mind.

Dear sweet Jewel is, and will always be one of those animals. Jewel came to my attention in early March when at three months old she was sent from the shelter to Landrum vet. The poor pup was having trouble breathing and was thought to have pneumonia.

The Frosty fund that was car-ing for her ran out of money and I took her on as one of my special cases. Dana Meyer lovingly calls Jewel my six million dollar dog. Though we have never found a cure for Jewel, she constantly grows stronger with what we can do for her. Jewel warms my heart and that of anyone who comes into contact with her.

Before I go on I simply must ac-knowledge all the angels and saints who have been sent my way on her behalf. My wonderful anonymous couple who helped with Snowy also helped greatly with Jewel’s medicine. Another great supporter, Dr. Robert Jones supplies her

vitamins and has helped with her boarding. Josh and Astrid at Dog-wood Farms move mountains and give me every benefit when one of my kids is in need. I’m also grateful for all the folks at the vets offices and F.H.S. who put up with my antics and demands. Believe me, I

am not fun to be around when one of my kids is in trouble.

J e w e l h a s been leaving

Dogwood Farms and going home with a great couple whose little Jack Russell simply adores her. I explained that her vitamins and antibiotics will always be avail-able for her and I would cover any visit to the vet they deemed necessary. Josh vouched for the couples reliability and it seemed Jewel may soon have a caring and loving home.

I was awash with excitement, because Jewel’s welfare has been a daily part of my prayers. Ev-erything was in place and was explained and understood and I could sense the deep love this sweet couple expressed toward my Jewel.

Two days later Jewel was brought to F.H.S. to be adopted, tagged and micro chipped. When this beautiful, happy faced little girl was brought to the shelter the place was buzzing with excitement, as if royalty was in town. And it was. I knelt to greet her and jewel gave

me her kiss of greeting as I heard Dana whisper, “It’s a miracle.”

As everything was being han-dled, Emily (Smiley) our new board chief, pulled me aside and asked, “Lennie, what is her life expectancy?”

“God bless you, dear,” I an-swered, patting her cheek, “at this point her life span is indefinite.”

Smiley tearfully nodded in understanding.

The only way I know to thank those who help me and my kids is to sincerely say “God bless you.”

When Jewel was driven off to her new and hopefully long life, I left the shelter and slowly walked around the compound. Huge tears of joy and gratitude fell as I thanked Him from whom

all blessings come. “I cannot thank you, Lord as I

do everyone else, for You are the font of all blessings. You knew from the moment You placed Jewel in my care that her life span was indefinite. You sent all those angels and saints in my path to help me make it so. Thank you for the blessings bestowed upon me that I may help in some small way to assist Your beautiful creations. I hope You don’t mind that I call them my kids.

I have often received great praise for the work I do and I hum-bly accept but I never forget that all honor and glory belong to Him, from whom all blessings flow.

God bless and thanks for lis-tening.


Iron also serves as a catalyst for a variety of enzymatic reac-tions throughout the body. It’s also important for a healthy immune system. Even though we need iron, too much can also be dan-

gerous. Some studies suggest that too much stored iron in the body may even cause heart disease. Our bodies have ways to regulate our iron levels, but remember iron can be toxic. Daily allowance: 15mg.

While it’s true vitamins and minerals are essential for optimum health, it’s equally true that start-ing a supplement regimen may be

contraindicated because of certain medications, or even medical con-ditions you may have that you’re not even aware of.

Always check with your physi-cian first. We’ll finish the list next week.

Carolina Keglers bowling results

Leaders of three local non-profit organizations recently met over lunch. Carol Newton of Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry (left), Jean Eckert of Hospice of the Carolina Foothills (center) and Rachel Ramsey of Steps to HOPE discussed ways they are working together to help meet the community’s needs. Among the topics they discussed was the 2011 initiative begun by Hospice of the Carolina Foothills: Jeans for Charity. On the first Friday of each month, HoCF staff members contribute at least $1 for the privilege of wearing jeans to work. Two of the charities selected this year to receive the proceeds, nominated by HoCF staff, were Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry and Steps to HOPE. (photo submitted by Marsha Van Hecke)

Dear Savvy Senior,What tips and resources can

you recommend to help seniors guard against identity theft? My next door neighbor, who’s 79, recently had her identity stolen and I want to make sure it doesn’t happen to me.

- Cautious ConnieDear Connie,Identity theft continues to be

a big problem in the U.S., affect-ing around nine million people every year – many of whom are seniors. Identity theft occurs when someone gets access to your Social Security number (SSN), bank or credit card ac-count number, or other identi-fying information and uses it to steal from you. While there’s no ironclad protection against ID theft, here are some things you can do to minimize your risks.

Guard your SSN: Treat you SSN like your most prized possession. Never carry your Social Security card around in your wallet or purse, don’t write your SSN on checks (except those you send to the IRS), and never give your SSN, credit card number, checking or savings account numbers to strangers who call, visit, text or send e-mail messages to you even if they seem legitimate. And don’t carry around your Medicare card either unless you’re going to the doctor. Your Medicare card contains your SSN.

Be wary of emails: If you use the Internet, don’t trust emails that claim to be from the Social Security Administration, the IRS or other government agencies.

Also be leery of emails that look like they’re from your bank, telephone company or credit card company. Remember that only phony emails will ask for

your credit card number or SSN. For more Internet fraud tips in-cluding a list of common online scams see onguardonline.gov.

Secure your mail: Empty your mailbox quickly, or con-sider getting a P.O. box or buy a locked mailbox to deter thieves. Also, don’t leave outgoing mail in your mailbox.

To put a stop to prescreened credit-card offers that thieves look to intercept, use the con-sumer credit reporting industry opt-out service at optoutpre-screen.com or call 888-567-8688 – they will ask for your SSN and date of birth.

Destroy your trash: Buy a cross-cut paper shredder and shred all records, receipts, state-ments, preapproved credit of-fers, mail solicitations or other papers you throw out that have your financial or personal infor-mation.

Monitor your accounts: Review your monthly bank and credit card statements carefully, and see if your bank or credit-card issuer offers free alerts that will warn you of suspicious activity as soon as it’s detected. If they do, sign up for them.

Watch your credit: Check your credit report at annualcre-ditreport.com or call 877-322-8228. You can receive one free report a year from each of the three major credit bureaus (Equi-fax, Experian and TransUnion), so consider staggering your request so you can get one free copy every four months.

Set up security freezes: You can help protect yourself by set-

ting up a security freeze on your credit reports at all three credit bureaus – Equifax (equifax.com, 800-685-1111), Experian (ex-perian.com, 888-397-3742) and TransUnion (transunion.com, 877-322-8228). With a freeze in place, no one, including you, can open new lines of credit in your name. This typically costs $5 to $10 per person per credit bureau each time you freeze or thaw your credit report. Some states offer free freezes for ID-theft victims.

Take action: If you ever think your identity’s been stolen, immediately contact your credi-tors and financial institutions to report unauthorized charges or debts, and close any com-promised accounts. Then place fraud alerts and security freezes with the three credit reporting agencies, and file a report with your local police and with the Federal Trade Commission at ftccomplaintassistant.gov or 877-438-4338.

Savvy tips: For more tips on preventing identity theft visit idtheftinfo.org and idtheftcen-ter.org. You can also hire an identity theft protection service like ProtectMyID, LifeLock or TrustedID to keep tabs on your identity for you. These compa-nies typically charge around $10 to $20 per month, but the ser-vices they provide are typically no better than what you can do yourself by following the previ-ously listed tips.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, Okla. 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

The Foothills Music Club held its monthly meeting Oct. 13 at the home of Elaine Jenkins.

After a brief business meeting, the program began with three selec-tions from Mozart’s opera, “The Marriage of Figaro.” Club members Elaine Jenkins and Rita Stobbe sang two duets, one comic and the other lyrical. Stobbe also gave a heartfelt rendition of the Countess Almaviva’s second act aria. Mimi Child Traxler accompanied the two at the piano.

Next followed Fran Creasy playing the “Meditation” from Mas-senet’s opera, Thais, on the flute. It was quite interesting since this is a piece often performed on violin; but

this listener found it equally lovely on flute. Jeanette Shackelford ac-companied Creasy at the piano.

Now for tomorrow’s stars. All three were winners in the FMC scholarship competition given each spring. The first to play, unaccompanied on the clarinet, was Samantha Bell. She gave us “Adagio” (Etude No. 24) by Carl Baerman. Next, a young violinist, Liana Stadelmann, played “Al-legro Moderato” from “Concerto No. 2” by Friedrich Seitz. Jeanette Shackelford accompanied. The final performance was on the eu-phonium by Luke Sappenfield. Luke played the rather difficult piece, Georg Phillipp Telemann’s

“Sonata in F minor.” Mimi Child Traxler accompanied on the piano. All three young performers ex-pressed their gratitude for FMC’s support in pursuing their private studies.

FMC has two goals: to encour-age young people who have en-joyed the rewards of participating in musical activities and to encour-age our members to keep up their own musical growth. To this end, members must perform at at least one meeting each year.

Watch for more information on FMC’s public concert on Jan. 12, 2012.

Showing of Tryon horse country documentary a sellout

More than 250 people flocked to the Tryon Movie Theatre on Nov. 1 to see the premiere of “Tales and Legends of Tryon Horse Country,” a documentary about how this area’s horse com-munity was formed.

Mane TV, a contemporary Internet equestrian news and in-formation channel, was on hand to capture viewer comments. Mane TV’s Sterling Johnson reported that every person inter-viewed had rave reviews for the insights, rare footage and stories embedded in the documentary, which had taken producer Sally Walker more than three years to shoot and edit.

The documentary’s story line took viewers from the early 1900s when Carter Brown came to town through the introduction of horse farms such as Chinqua-pin in the old Hunting Country and the formation of the Tryon Hounds, Block House Steeple-chase, Tryon Riding and Hunt Club, Tryon Horse Show, United States’ Tryon-based Equestrian Olympic Trials, on up to the for-mation of FENCE and the new Green Creek Equestrian Center. Stories about Tryon-based char-acters such as F. Scott Fitzgerald, David Niven and Gordon Wright added colorful anecdotes, which prompted waves of laughter.

Expounding on the virtues of Tryon were current U.S. Equestrian Olympic Team Chef d’Equipe (coach) George Mor-ris, famed equestrians Bucky Reynolds and Betty Oare, Co-lumbus native horseman Gerald

Pack and others. Morris, who is a well known

and highly respected hunter-jumper coach in the United States and internationally, called Tryon “a horseman’s paradise.”

Oare, who grew up in Tryon as the daughter of well-known horseman J. Arthur Reynolds, stated, “If you can’t develop a love of horses in the Tryon area, you can’t love horses.”

Pack said, “Tryon will al-ways be known to horse people throughout the world.”

Spontaneous continuous applause broke out when pro-ducer Walker stepped on stage to express her gratitude to the people and businesses who helped make the project possi-ble. She also thanked the Grace Foothills Church for using its equipment to project the movie for the showing and the Tryon Theatre for making the evening possible.

When asked if there would be another showing of “Tales and Legends of Tryon Horse Country” in the near future, Walker commented that a spring showing is under consideration.

“In the meantime,” she said, “people can get an exact DVD copy of the showing at The Book Shelf and Little Mountain Farm Supply beginning Nov. 15.”

According to Pack, this documentary was so important because “The history is what makes our future.”

TACS to hold holiday basket workshop Dec. 3

Tryon Arts and Crafts School (TACS) will host a holiday basket work-shop Saturday, Dec. 3, with instructor Brenda Atchley. The one-day workshop will be held from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the school in Tryon.

Students will learn to make a traditional basket from natural materials as well as found objects and purchased parts. Materi-als will be supplied for a small charge.

Brenda Atchley, a basket maker from For-est City, will have some baskets in TACS’ holi-day gift show running concurrently with the workshop and in the gift shop. She specializes in miniature baskets that are crafted from natural reed, cane or black ash with found object closures. Atchley started making baskets about 10 years ago and became very serious about the craft after taking classes through the North Carolina Basket Maker’s As-sociation.

Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information about the instructor or workshop, including tuition

and supply costs, contact TACS at 828-859-8323 or by email at [email protected].

More details and examples of projects are available on the TACS website, www.TryonArt-sandCrafts.org.

TACS is a non-profit crafts or-ganization located at 373 Harmon Field Road in Tryon and exists to provide creative opportunities for everyone.

FavoriteLocalGet your Sidestreet fix

by Leah Justice

If you’ve tried it once, you’ll find yourself coming back for at least a weekly Sidestreet “fix.”

Starting as a tiny restaurant literally on a side street in Tryon where everyone knew your name, the restaurant has become a must have for Italian lovers around the region.

Sidestreet Pizza & Pasta is a popular family-owned Italian restaurant that has a taste for everyone.

And by saying family-owned, Sidestreet means it. From Greensburg, Penns., the Capozzi family first found its

roots in Tryon in the early 1980s. In 1984, just out of school, Bobby Capozzi, the youngest of

“Big” Bob and Marlea Capozzi, bought a small pizza place in downtown Tryon. Bobby Capozzi called his dad, Bob, still in Pennsylvania, to come help with the business. Big Bob was a brick mason by trade, but had worked in pizza parlors as a young man.

Bob and Bobby changed the recipes for the dough and sauces and made them their own. The same recipes are still used today.

“Gina, Joe, Nick and Marlea eventually found their way down

south, as our close-knit family couldn’t be apart for too long, and Side-Street pizza became a full family affair,” says the restaurant’s history.

The first building was a local favorite where Tryonites frequented and children gained memories of eating pizza and hanging out before going to the local, one movie per week theatre nearby.

In 1995, outgrowing its space, Sidestreet bought a former warehouse in Tryon and created a restaurant equipped with more seating, a bar, more parking and an expanded menu.

Sidestreet now has frequent visitors from Polk County and Landrum, Asheville, Spartanburg and Greenville, S.C., and beyond every week. It is also a destination for friends to meet while visiting home from abroad.

The three brothers and two sisters still run the restaurant. “We don’t have any chefs,” said Gina Capozzi Stott. “To

make it into our kitchen, you have to have a really good work ethic. We all still work here. We love it. We love to feed people.”

From pizza, pasta and soups to must have Sidestreet wings, there are too many favorites to list and the restaurant is known to deliver exceptional, consistent food at reasonable prices.

“To do this as a family means everything,” said the young-est, Marlea Capozzi. “We are extremely blessed. We are able to share our family’s love and put it into our food. I personally enjoy throwing love into every entrée/pizza/sub that I make. Most people may say, ‘I could never work with my brother or sister.’ For me, I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Sidestreet was recently named the Gaston Grubs favorite, from WSPA News 7, by a wide margin. The award is selected by local fans in the Spartanburg, S.C., region.

“Growing up as an Italian family, dinner was a wonder-ful, memorable experience,” states an expert from the restau-rant’s history on their website at www.sidestpizza.com. “From ‘pasta night’ on Sundays to ‘pizza night,’ we had a passion for good food from the beginning.”

“We continue to be so fortunate to keep your business and it gives us pride to serve you the best possible food we can make at a reasonable price. We strive for consistency, and hope that you enjoy your time eating at our little ‘hole in the wall.’ We love getting to know you, our customers, and will give you a wave from the kitchen as we are cooking. Thank you again for your patronage, and we hope to see you soon.”
