Polk to vote on CooperRiis water line tonightby Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners are scheduled to decide tonight – Monday, July 9 – whether to run a water line to CooperRiis Heal-ing Community in Mill Spring and, perhaps more importantly, whether the county will foot the full bill.

Commissioners will meet at 7 p.m. in the upstairs meeting room of the Womack building in Columbus.

Last month, commission-ers debated whether the county should pay an additional $27,000 to run the water line an extra 1,000 feet to the middle of the

CooperRiis property as the facil-ity requested. During last month’s discussion, commissioners said the extra 1,000 feet was requested so CooperRiis would save on insurance, but CooperRiis Ex-ecutive Director and President

• County to vote(Continued from page 1)

Virgil Stucker said the request is for safety and is not related to insurance.

“This request has nothing to do with saving money on insur-ance premiums,” Stucker said in a letter to commissioners. “At best our savings will be a few hundred dollars. Our request is an attempt to help us save lives if there were ever a serious fire. We have no incentive to hook onto the water line if it simply stops at our property line. Our current water supply is ad-equate. In fact, our expense for connecting to county water will be consid-erable.”

Stucker said the extra 1,000 feet would pro-vide the facility with two fire hy-drants. He said CooperRiis would also be among the county’s larger water customers, with use estimat-ed at 140,000 gallons per month. The organization also plans to construct three new residences in the next year, which will increase the water needs.

Stucker said CooperRiis is a major employer in Polk County, with 116 employees and a payroll that exceeds $4.8 million. The facility began with approximately 24 employees in 2003, according to Stucker.

“Further, the generosity to Polk County of CooperRiis’ found-ers, Don and Lisbeth Cooper, is worth noting,” Stucker said in his letter. “To establish the Cooper-Riis Healing Community in Mill Spring, Don and Lisbeth Cooper have raised $30 million, the large majority of which was invested in Polk County. But their generosity has extended beyond the Cooper-Riis campus to many civic and public causes in Polk County, with donations now exceeding $1.5 million in total.”

Stucker listed the Coopers’ many donations to Polk County causes, including $450,000 to the Polk County Library, $100,000

to Thermal Belt Outreach Min-istry, numerous contributions to St. Luke’s Hospital, a $50,000 donation to the CooperRiis Barn at FENCE as well as donations to the Tuba Christmas concert, Hospice, Pavillon International, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office ($10,000) and the Mill Spring Fire Department ($5,000).

Last month, commissioners were split on whether to pay for the extension and especially whether to extend the line the additional 1,000 feet. CooperRiis is a nonprofit organization, and some commissioners said the

county has al-ready set a prec-edent of paying for water line extensions to nonprofits.

C o m m i s -s i o n e r s a r e scheduled to vote on the ex-tension after seeing a Pow-

erpoint presentation and hearing from CooperRiis officials, includ-ing reviewing Stucker’s letter.

If commissioners approve the extension to CooperRiis, the county would amend its current construction project in which a water line is being run to connect the county’s well system at the middle school and the Town of Columbus’ water system at the high school. The current project, which is nearing completion, will allow the two entities to have back-up water.

The total cost to extend the water line from the crossroads of Hwy. 108 and Hwy. 9 in Mill Spring to CooperRiis is estimated at $111,543, including costs to run it to the middle of the property.

The county’s original contract amount connecting the schools was approved at $592,465. Com-missioners approved an addi-tion of $23,805 last month to cover additional costs for 23 taps requested. If commissioners decide to pay for the line to run to CooperRiis as requested, the total cost to the county for the water line from the high school to CooperRiis will be $727,813.

“This request has nothing to do with saving money on insurance premiums.… Our request is an attempt to help us save lives if there were ever a serious fire.”

CooperRiis sends letter to countyEditor’s note: Following

is a letter sent to Polk County commissioners on Monday, July 2 by CooperRiis Healing Community Executive Director and President Virgil Stucker requesting Polk County extend a water line to the facility, located in Mill Spring:

I am writing to ask your con-sideration for extending a water line along Hwy. 108 1,000 feet beyond the CooperRiis property line, a move which will enhance our safety by providing us with two fire hydrants.

We believe, beyond build-ing a portion of the major trunk line already in your long range plans, this would have several benefits. For one, CooperRiis would be among your larger wa-ter customers with an estimated immediate need of 140,000 gallons per month. We plan to construct three new residences on the property in the next year, and this will of course increase our usage.

In addition, we are in discus-sion with Western Highlands LME and a national provider of psychiatric services about the possibility of locating a $1.5 million facility employing more than 40 people on property we own across Hwy. 108. The pres-ence of public water would add to the case for this project, which is only in discussion at present.

On top of being a potential good customer, CooperRiis is already a major employer in Polk County, one with a low impact on county services. Currently CooperRiis employs 116 people in the Polk County area with a payroll that exceeds $4.8 mil-lion. Consider that we began in 2003 with fewer than two dozen employees! Since its founding in 2003, CooperRiis has become an internationally known center offering the hope of recovery from mental health challenges. We have served over 600 people over the years, almost half of

whom received scholarships. Just last year, CooperRiis gave out $2.6 million in scholarships.

Further, the generosity to Polk County of CooperRiis’ found-ers, Don and Lisbeth Cooper, is worth noting. To establish the CooperRiis Healing Community in Mill Spring, Don and Lisbeth Cooper have raised $30 million, the large majority of which was invested in Polk County. But their generosity has extended beyond the CooperRiis campus to many civic and public causes in Polk County, with donations now exceeding $1.5 million in total. The following lists some of the recipients:

• The “CooperRiis Com-munity Room” at the Polk County Public Library. (Total library donations have exceeded $450,000);

• The newly renovated Emer-gency Room at St. Luke’s Hos-pital;

• The 75th Anniversary Cel-ebration of St. Luke’s;

• The St. Luke’s Hospital Palmer & Jervey Society;

• The St. Luke’s Hospital Registration and Waiting Area;

• The St. Luke’s Hospital Digital Mammography Project;

• The CooperRiis Barn at FENCE, (a $50,000 donation);

• The Tuba Christmas con-cert;

• The Hospice of the Carolina Foothills;

• The Mill Spring Fire De-partment, annual donations of $5,000;

• The Polk County Sheriff’s Department, $10,000;

• Pavillon International;• Thermal Belt Outreach

Ministries, a $100,000 donation.In conclusion, for safety pur-

poses, CooperRiis respectfully requests that the County extend its water line approximately 1,000 feet beyond CooperRiis’ westerly property line along

Autumn Care chef top 10 winner in culinary contestAutumn Care of Saluda’s

Genell Jespersen, director of nu-tritional services, was recently recognized as a top 10 win-ner in the Culinary Creations Contest by Premier Healthcare Alliance.

Jespersen was selected by a group of her peers to be recog-nized at Premier’s annual food-service forum, held in conjunc-tion with its 2012 Breakthroughs Conference and Exhibition in Nashville, June 5-8.

“I had the opportunity to at-tend the Premier conference last year at the invitation of Judy Abernathy, corporate dietician,” Jespersen said. “The whole ex-perience motivated me to enter the Creations contest for 2012.”

Jespersen had this to say about her winning creation: “Two staples of comfort food around the world are chicken and beans. Mellow Mediterranean Chicken is loaded with heart healthy fiber and nutrients, including omega 3 fatty acids and antioxidants. Salt content is limited in this tasty and attractive dish by relying on the natural sodium found in the ingredients. Fresh vegetables and herbs, as well as pesto, comple-ment the protein in the chicken and beans, while seasoning the dish to perfection.”

Premier, a hospital-owned

performance improvement al-liance of 2,600 hospitals and 84,000 other care sites, has the industry’s largest healthcare foodservice purchasing program.

Autumn Care of Saluda is a 99-bed rehabilitation and skilled nursing center in Saluda. For more information visit www.autumncareofsaluda.com.

Wilson named St. Luke’s Employee of the First Quarter 2012Bobbie Wilson was recently

selected as St. Luke’s Hospital’s Employee of the First Quarter for 2012.

Wilson has worked at St. Luke’s Hospital for 35 years, beginning her career as ward secretary in the old St. Luke’s lo-cated in Tryon. She also worked as an administrative secretary before moving to the business office. In Wilson’s current posi-tion, she manages payroll and assists with handling St. Luke’s Hospital’s electronic medical records system.

Wilson said she enjoys work-ing at St. Luke’s.

“I am so fortunate to work at St. Luke’s Hospital. I enjoy my job – how many people can say that and mean it,” Wilson said. “St. Luke’s is my second family. I get to interact with each depart-ment here at the hospital. It is never boring – I like being able to work with so many different people. I have also been able to see so many changes over the years at St. Luke’s. It is a wonder-ful place.”

When not working at St.

Luke’s, Wilson, who lives in Tryon, said she enjoys fishing and gardening.

“Bobbie has been asked to wear numerous hats over the past year as we implement new payroll and EMR systems. She has shown an exceptional will-ingness and ability to respond to the many and varied needs of the organization throughout this process. I am proud to have Bob-bie on my team.” said Christine Martin, CFO.

Steps to using social media in a nonprofit marketing planmost sought after aspects of social media, especially given today’s economy. In raising money social media helps the organization by giving its donors and constituents an easy way to donate, tell oth-ers they have donated and why. It also allows them to ask their friends for mon-ey to help sup-port their cause. In the fundrais-ing world we all know that while people chose to give to a charity for the cause they represent, the real reason people continue to give of their time and money is the common rule – people give to people. For those of you reading this, I would encourage you to stop and think about the reasons you continue to give to the nonprofits you do. You will likely uncover that the nonprofits you give to are for a wonderful cause, but the reason you continue to give is because of

As the nonprofit leadership column continues discussing Marketing for Nonprofits, the next several articles will focus on the social media marketing strategy/plan.

In the last article we discussed the pros and cons of using social media for a nonprofit’s marketing strategy or plan. We also identified selected tools to use for a variety of applications within the social media marketing plan. In this article we will discuss the steps to getting started using social media for the nonprofit marketing plan.

The first step comes from the most popular question that I am asked all the time: Why should our nonprofit be interested in social media. The response is simply if your nonprofit is interested in rais-ing donations, creating awareness and recruiting and engaging vol-unteers, then you should imple-ment a social media plan within your marketing strategy.

Raising money is one of the

the board member, staff member or volunteer who keeps you in-volved in the organization.

In recruiting and engaging volunteers social media helps nonprofits with the following tools; providing services where knowledge is the volunteers con-

tribution, educa-tion and train-ing for staff, volunteers and clients, friends asking friends to get involved

by volunteering and self-service scheduling and participation. For many nonprofit leaders recruit-ing and engaging volunteers is a full time job. The number one reason a volunteer leaves a non-profit is they feel that they did not have a specific enough job duty and they did not feel they contributed or were involved in the nonprofit. Nonprofits that have many programs and ser-vices, can sometimes find it to be very difficult to keep everyone up-to-date on the nonprofits suc-cesses and daily rewards. Social media now makes it easy and free to keep everyone up-to-date, including volunteers. In addition social media allows olunteers to share this information easily and for seasoned volunteers they are sometimes the ones updating the social media tools. If you have read my previous articles you know my feeling on volunteers, that they are an essential piece of

the nonprofit’s puzzle. Without volunteers many nonprofits would not be able to survive and offer the much-needed programs and services vital to today’s society. As nonprofit leaders we must use all tools available to use to ensure one hundred percent ownership of the organization and to retain our valued volunteers. When board, staff and volunteers feel they have ownership, and their comments, questions and suggestions are taken seriously, the organization excels at a rapid rate.

With building awareness and spreading your message, social media helps nonprofits enhance their campaign, campaigning and advocacy. We know that advocacy is now a mainstream word in to-day’s society and nonprofits are now leading the way at the state and federal level. As with any endeavor nonprofits undertake they need help from the general public and what better way to sell it than telling the nonprofits story? We know the best way to pull at potential supporters and donor’s heartstrings is storytelling. Social media allows the nonprofit to tell the story to a wider, broader audience without the expense of mailings. In addition social media helps nonprofits in educating and engaging the general public on issues that affect them.

In the next article we will continue discussing the steps for getting started using social media for your nonprofit.

On June 23 - 24, relative new-comers, Eugene Placak and Jeffery Bartow, won the annual Member/Member event at Red Fox Country Club.

The event was changed this year from a one-day, low net in twosomes to a two-day low net ringer competition. Playing the two-day event imposed a bit of a hardship on the older members, but they all finished.

The second-place winners were Roger Newman and Dr. Bob Con-rad, while third place went to Gene Leary and Fred Ellis.

On Wednesday, June 27, Henry Martin defeated Bob Taft in the final match of the annual Presi-dent’s Cup competition at Red Fox Country Club. This event is conducted over a number of weeks of individual elimination matches until the field is whittled down to the two finalists.

Presentation on modern myths and facts about snakesThe Pacolet Area Conser-

vancy (PAC) and Walnut Creek Preserve invite the community to an informational presentation about the Modern Myths and Facts about Snakes on Saturday, July 14 at 10:30 a.m. to be held at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve.

Have you ever heard the phrase, “the only good snakes, a dead snake” or that “snake’s travel in pairs?”

Well, naturalist Tim Lee will discuss the facts and science behind many of the myths as-sociated with snakes. He will talk about snake behavior and the physical adaptations of snakes in order to help the audi-ence gain a better understanding about snakes and how many of these myths began. Children and adults are welcome and there is no charge for the event.

To get to Walnut Creek Pre-serve’s Nature Center from the Tryon and Columbus area, take N.C. Hwy. 108 E and turn left on to N.C. Hwy. 9 N toward Lake Lure. Follow N.C. Hwy. 9 N for 5 miles and turn right onto McGuinn Rd. (at the Exxon Sta-tion). Go 1 mile to the intersec-tion with Big Level Road; turn left, go 2/10ths of a mile and

take the first right onto Aden Green Rd. Follow Aden Green for 4/10ths of a mile and turn left on Herbarium Ln. and into Walnut Creek Preserve. Take the first left onto Conservatory Ln. which takes you to the park-ing area for the Nature Center.

For more information or di-rections from another location, please contact the Pacolet Area Conservancy at 828-859-5060 or email at [email protected].
