Polk applies for grant to get water to proposed restaurant in Green Creekby Leah Justice

Polk commissioners have agreed to apply for a grant to help get water to a planned restaurant in Green Creek at the former Hwy. 9 location of Crossroads Restaurant, which burned about two years ago.

Commissioners agreed unanimously on Monday to apply for a N.C. Rural Center grant to pay for half of the

estimated $40,000 to $50,000 it would take to extend a water line in the area.

The N.C. Rural Center grant is a 50/50 match that is based on job creation. A restaurant would create a sufficient number of new jobs and qualifies for the grant funding, county officials said.

Commissioner vice-chair-man Ray Gasperson suggested

the county apply for the grant. He introduced Jason Schlabach, who is planning the restaurant.

“[The proposed restaurant is] wonderful news, especially for the Green Creek/Sandy Plains community,” Gasperson said. “What is being planned fits beautifully with the Vision 20/20 plan.”

Gasperson said since the Crossroads restaurant burned, people in the area have lost their meeting place. He also said the county’s Vision 20/20 pinpoints that location as prime for development.

The county’s main water line runs through the cross-roads in Green Creek at Hwy. 9. The proposed restaurant site is on Hwy. 9 north of that crossroads.

Commiss ioner Tommy Melton suggested if the county is going to extend the water line, it should go ahead and take that line to the Peniel Road intersection along Hwy. 9.

“Since we’ll get the line halfway there already, I’d like to see it go all the way to Peniel Road,” Melton said.

Commissioner Renée Mc-Dermott said it doesn’t sound like the county would have enough money to fund an extension further than the restaurant. County manager Ryan Whitson said he won’t know until estimates are in how much running the line to Peniel Road would cost, but the county could take the extra money out of its general fund. Whitson also said he has concerns that the county’s fund balance is getting too high following a preliminary report from auditors that Polk could have an estimated $700,000 left over from last fiscal year’s budget.

The county currently has about $21,000 in its budget for water line extensions. Com-missioners asked Schlabach to come to the next meeting with information about how much the developer could contribute for the extension.

The county’s Economic Development Commission has also agreed to pay $1,000 towards the costs of the water line extension.

Commissioners expressed interest in this project saying it would be good for the Green Creek community as well as

the job creation. Schlabach said he has been

working on the plans for the restaurant for about a year and is currently working out septic requirements with the state. The plan is for the restaurant to have 120 seats divided be-tween a restaurant and a coffee/bakery area, with 100 seats on the left side in the restaurant area and another 20 on the right side in the coffee and bakery area. Plans also include a meeting room. Future plans call for other buildings on the property to be used as shops, Schlabach said.

The grant application, being completed by the Isothermal Planning and Development Commission, is due Nov. 5. Awards are expected to be an-nounced in mid-December.

Cyclist visits Landrum, Tryon on Florida-to-Montana journeyby Leah Justice

A cyclist from California re-cently stopped in Landrum and Tryon on a journey from Florida to Montana.

John Dyes said he started in Daytona, Fla., in early July and traveled through Georgia to make his way to the Carolinas, which he says he always wanted to visit.

Dyes says while in Landrum he spent the night with Landrum Mayor Bob Briggs, who offered his home after meeting him in Zenzera Coffee & Wine Bar, which Briggs’ wife owns.

Dyes says he loves to stop in small towns and visit coffee shops and restaurants and meet local people. He normally finds campgrounds on his route to stay

and after a week or so will stay in a hotel for a rest.

Dyes is from California, where he was recently laid off from his job as a mechanic. He said he had always wanted to travel across the country and decided to take advantage of the opportunity.

He rode a train and had his bike shipped to him in Florida. He plans to ride through the win-ter and end his journey in Mon-tana, where he says he will catch a train and go back to California. He had no expectations of when he might arrive in Montana, but on average he says he is traveling eight to nine hours per day, about 50 to 60 miles per day.

He left downtown Tryon head-ed up Hwy. 176, with his next stop planned in Asheville.

Life in the Army During WWII

(conTinueD on page 9)

Western Germany in late 1944Ensdorf, an unremarkable suburb

adjacent to Saarlautern, the least known city in this valley of vineyards; the river Saar (in German, Sarre in French, but it’s the same river); suffering heavy rain and excessive flooding in the late fall of 19rr; all this describes a small urban complex di-rectly in the path of American forces. The intent of the Army was to cross the Saar, move through Ensdorf and continue eastward into the industrial heartland of Germany. This objective was not achieved; instead, the Ameri-can troops reached the railroad tracks in Ensdorf but could proceed no fur-ther. More than two weeks of almost fact-to-face combat ensued, executed with a terrible intensity difficult to describe and still frightful to remem-ber. There fif-teen or so days seemed to be an eternity to the one hundred and two men involved and became the way to actual eternity for fifty-four of them.

This combat encounter began in a way typical of tactical efforts in the army of 1944. There was no excite-ment, and no bravado; only numerous comments whispered for silence. It is, of course, not possible for several hundred young men to clamber down steep and muddy river banks while loaded with backpacks, knapsacks, armaments and ammunition in metal boxes while clad in heavy, muddy boots and wearing steel helmets, carrying a personal “sidearm” (rifle or pistol), except the aidman, who carried two canvas bags packed with medical supplies, to be quiet. However, as the men struggled to board flat-bottomed boats, silence was really their only protection. Beyond the eastern edge of the river lay several hundred yards of muddy water-soaked meadowland. Only one usable trail led straight across the level field, sloping up at the last minute into Ensdorf. Two or three concrete pillboxes, each containing a machine gun or a heavier cannon, were strategically located in the fields; all their guns were normally aimed at the approach path but were capable of firing in many directions. These defensive positions were easly

visible; what was not apparent was the presence of some 12 to 15 more fortified defensive positions con-cealed in innocent looking houses in-side Ensdorf. These pillboxes could rake nearly every street with deadly fire. Thus, silence and surprise were the only true hopes for safety.

Somehow, we all boarded the boats (with assistance from the en-gineering troops who had provided the boats and hoped soon to build a temporary bridge) and crossed the flooding Saar, struggled up the eastern bank and proceeded (three yards apart, as trained) along the narrow and exposed foot track to the edge of Ensdorf. Somehow, the troops made it to the town without alarming the German defenders,

but there the good news ceased. As the Americans en-tered the streets of Ensdorf, the con-cealed pillboxes

became apparent as they immedi-ately began firing at each attacker. It soon became clear that movement on the streets in Ensdorf was not possible; even to attempt to cross a street was to risk taking your life into your hands. Movement outdoors was from one back yard to another; fences were knocked down, brick garden walls were breached. With slow and dangerous progress, the American forces finally got to the railroad tracks which were almost parallel to but well east of the river. Crossing the tracks was almost im-possible; the railroad was virtually a German firing range from numerous visible and concealed pillboxes. In any case, many exposed meadows beyond the edge of the tracks made progress toward the east almost impossible.

Several examples of daily life in Ensdorf may be of interest. One day, a squad of machine gunners were exploring one block in Ensdorf to see where they could most usefully site a heavy machine gun – in other words, where could they set up the gun to see different directions and thus locate the most possible “target of opportunity”. I happened to be

with this team in case there was a need for medical attention. We were naturally traveling from back yard to back yard and from time to time we would enter vacant houses to verify the outlook from various upper win-dows. Occasionally we would reach a location where there was no way to traverse to another yard; we would then resort to the “mousehole” route. If you don’t know how to travel by the mousehole way, let me describe it. Each of us were issued one or two blocks of explosive, each block being somewhat smaller than a box of kitchen matches. This block of explosive was intended to be used to blast a hole through the ice thus preparing a hole through which you could dig a foxhole in frozen ground. Naturally, the ever-innovative g.i. had discovered you could easily blow a hole through a brick wall and thereby travel from house to house without going out into a street; much safer, much quicker. Don’t ask me how we were to detonate this explosive: I don’t remember but it worked and worked well. The sergeant who was in charge of the squad had one soldier set an explosive block against the brick wall adjacent to the adjoining house. The sergeant had us retreat to another room while he blew the explosive charge; there was a loud noise and a cloud of dust as it exploded. When the dust settled there was a neat hole in the wall of a size through which we could crawl. The sergeant ordered the assistant squad leader to crawl through, he did, we awaited his voice to direct the rest of us, one by one, to crawl through but no such command was announced. Instead a distant and angry voice from down below said “Any stupid so-and-so who’d blow a mousehole above a basement stair should be shot” (to vary the actual wording slightly). We laid some boards at proper locations, pulled him up from the basement, and went on with our mission.

On another day, German artillery forces were lobbing occasional shells toward the buildings we were in. The captain and the first sergeant were

on the second floor of “our house” and observed a shell hit the house to our left; a few seconds later another shell landed on the roof to our right. The captain grabbed the sergeant and shouted “Move: they’ve got us zeroed in”. He was right; the third shell arrived almost immediately and completely shattered the top floor of the house to pieces.

Yet another anecdote: on one oc-casion in another house in occupied Ensdorf, a supply sergeant from the west side of the river had helped deliver our daily supplies earlier that night. He had failed to return before daylight arrived so he was visiting with the first sergeant, an old friend, until darkness arrived when he could safely return to safer quarters on the west bank. As a matter of fact, the engineers erected a temporary footbridge across the Saar each night and the German artillery destroyed the bridge each morning. Thus, the visiting supply sergeant had no choice but to await the next night-fall. However, nature later called

and he stepped outside into the backyard, into an area shielded from the enemy. A stray random

enemy shell landed and exploded at his feet and virtually destroyed his leg. As aidman, I provided such aid as I could. He was safely evacuated early that night to a field hospital west of the river but died two days later. What sadness and shock war can provide: had he stood two feet to the right he might be alive today. Who knows?

One last anecdote about troops stranded in occupied Ensdorf. After several days of continuously careful behavior, soldiers become far more casual and often ignore reasonable safety care. For example, after several nights of sleeping on a cold and hard floor, we found a bedroom with its bed and mattress in good shape. The only problem was that the casement windows were open, and indeed faced directly onto the sidewalk. We could not close the window or its shutters as the German observers would notice the differ-ence immediately. But available

comfort conquers all. After nightfall on the day that we found the bed, we separated the springs and the mattress and all of us slept comfort-ably even though several Germans strolled by the open window during the night.

The second night, two German soldiers stopped, leaned on the sill of the open window and lit cigarettes. One American sol-dier, taken unawares by the smoke, coughed. The Germans soldier, obviously well-trained, turned to the window and threw a compression grenade into our “bedroom”. The mattress was blown upwards, half-way to the ceiling with all of us on it. We landed, unharmed, the Germans fled; all was well but we never slept in that room again.

Suddenly, the Allied forces suf-fered an unexpected reverse along the front line in the Low Countries north of us. We were ordered to withdraw from our tenuously-held bridgehead and get back to the west of the Saar immediately. We left Ensdorf that night and travelled to the north. All our operations after that were north of the Moselle-Saar area and, so far as I know, warlike conditions did not later occur again in Ensdorf. The

city of Metz, overlooking the lovely Moselle River valley in France had been freed from German control late in November of 1944. The American troops involved headed on without even a brief respite toward the Saar valley in eastern France and west-ernmost Germany.

On December 5, 1944, 102 Amer-ican soldiers crossed the Saar River

into Ensdorf. Fif-teen days later on December 21, 48 walked back for a well-deserved – but brief – rest.

I was lucky to be one of the 48. Holland Brady, a local architect

and a native of Tryon, designed the Tryon Presbyterian Church, Forbes Preschool, the Parish house at St. John’s of the Wilderness in Flat Rock and the Columbus United Methodist Church as well as the fire stations in Tryon, Columbus and Landrum. Many unique resi-dences carry the Holland Brady signature.

Brady was in the army from 1943 through 1946, serving with the 9th and 15th U.S. Armies, the British Second Army, and Gen. George S. Patton’s Third Army. He holds the Combat Medical Badge, three Battle Stars, the Good Con-duct Medal, a Presidential Citation, the Victory Medal, and the Purple Heart.

October means local greensCome October, some locally

grown vegetables disappear from farmers markets and grocery store shelves. Not greens! From beet greens to chard and collards to kale, many types are available now and promise freshness and color into the winter.

In honor of the abundance, Appalachian Sustainable Agricul-ture Project (ASAP) is featuring greens for the month of October in its Get Local initiative. A year-round component of ASAP’s Local Food Campaign, Get Local brings together farmers, restaurateurs, chefs, and community members from around the region in cel-ebration of a featured local food. Because each local item is widely

available during the month, partici-pating restaurants and eateries can easily find and use the ingredient to create unique seasonal dishes. And, everyone can try out recipes of their own at home. Find a list of partici-pating restaurants, as well as more information about the initiative, on the Get Local page of asapconnec-tions.org. Search for roadside farm stands, groceries, and tailgate mar-kets with a sea of greens to offer in ASAP’s Local Food Guide, online at buyappalachian.org.

If you’re a chef or restaurant interested in participating, contact marketing coordinator Lee Sea-brook at [email protected].

Spartanburg Youth! Theatre presents ‘Robin Hood’ Oct. 8, 9The classic adventure story gets a Monty Pythonesque twist

Spartanburg Youth! Theatre kicks off its 2010-2011 season with “The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood” on October 8 at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and on October 9 at 2 p.m.

This time around, the legendary legend, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-schem-ing sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bulls eye; a gold-hoarding, bad-guy monarch wan-nabe; and a good-natured “Town’s Guy” who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding

Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you’ve got an irrever-ent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won’t soon forget.

This play is the first in a four show production season for the Spar-tanburg Youth! Theatre, which will include “The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood,” “A Christmas Carol,” “Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse,” and “Sleeping Beauty.”

Season tickets for the Spartanburg Youth! Theatre are available. Perfor-mance dates are October 8 at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and October 9 at 2 p.m. All performances take place at the David W. Reid Theatre in the Chap-man Cultural Center. Tickets can be purchased by calling 864-542-2787. Call the Youth! Theatre office at 864-585-8278 for more information.


First annual Farm to Fork SupperThe Mill Spring Agricultural

Economic Development Center will be hosting its first annual Farm to Fork Supper and Open House on October 23. The evening will cel-ebrate agriculture in Polk County starting with an open house tour of the new center at 5 p.m.

Come and see the trans-formation that is taking place at the former Mill Spring School as the staff repaints and refurbishes but tries to maintain the unique character of this historic building. There will be InFARMation sta-tions to visit where local farmers will be available to talk with you and let you know what they have to offer.

Supper will be prepared with fresh and local ingredients and will start at 6 p.m. under the cascading magnolia tree in the front yard, complete with candle-light. Local musicians include the renowned Jenna Lindbo and old-time and celtic music with a classical twist from John Mal-

loy, Annie Ewing, and Whitney Blake. After supper you will have chances to win the 50/50 raffle or bid on auction items such as a restaurant dinner for two.

Tickets are being sold at Man-na Cabanna in Saluda, Kath-leen’s Gallery in Tryon, the F i r s t P eak of the Blue Ridge Travel

and Tourism Center, and the Soil and Water Conservation District in Columbus. Proceeds benefit the restoration of the former Mill Spring School.

October 23 will be an oppor-tunity for the community to come together in support of the people who feed us. Organizers are asking guests to bring your own unique dinner plate that you are willing to leave behind for the Ag Center to use for future events.

For more information, or to donate farm foods or auction items, contact Carol Lynn Jack-son at 828-817-2308 or [email protected].

article 9: irs required 990 report

year of public comment the IRS rolled out the new 990 form. It incorporated many changes focusing on overall governance within the nonprofit organiza-tion. Some of the most notice-able changes included; the first page is a summary page of key numbers and ratios, greater focus on non-cash contribu-tions, shorter core form, and more schedules Additionally every nonprofit regardless of size is now required to file a form. Nonprofits now either have to file the complete 990 or the small shorter version which is referred to as the post-card for smaller organizations. Governance changes to the 990 included many questions. If the organization has a conflict of in-terest policy, and if so, the num-ber of transactions reviewed by the governing body under the conflict policy during the past year. If the organization has a written policy on document retention and destruction and if board members review the IRS Form 990 before it is filed.

The next several articles will continue to focus on finances and accounting.

As the nonprofit Leadership column continues the series on Management and Fiscal Accountability for Nonprofits, this article will focus on the importance of the annual IRS required 990 report.

The IRS form 990 is the most commonly used form for evaluating the credibility of a nonprofit organization. It is, however, rarely used as an evaluation tool. Most 990’s are often signed and mailed without even being reviewed or seen by the board of directors at the organization.

It is extremely important for the nonprofit organization to make sure and file the 990 on time. The 990 should be filed by the 15th of fifth month after the end of your organiza-tion’s fiscal year. Organizations needing more time can get a six month extension, but you must also file for the extension before the due date. Late filing of the 990 is subject to a penalty of $20 per day up to maximum of $10,000 (less than $1 million in operations annually) or $50 per day up to $50,000 (over $1 million in operations annually). Additional fines or imprison-ment for fraud can be acquired if the organization is found to be willingly not filing the 990.

Two years ago the 990 form had a major facelift. After a

the polk County High school volleyball team dropped a key conference match this past thurs-day against Mountain Heritage, losing in three games 25-18, 25-23, 25-16.

With the victory, Mountain Heritage takes over first place in the Western Highlands 2a stand-ings. the loss forces pCHs to win all their remaining matches for a shot at a share of the conference title.

“We didn’t deserve to win the way we played tonight,” said pCHs head coach Heather Claussen. “that puts Mountain Heritage back on top for the conference title. We have to win out now to be co-conference champions with them.”

the Wolverines recorded 48 errors, up from their average of 20-25 over a three-game span.

“Mountain Heritage did some things right, but overall, won off our errors,” Claussen said.

PCHS volleyball dropped by Cougars

by John Clayton

polk County High moved up to No. 4 in this week’s Class 2a associated press football poll.

the Wolverines (6-0 overall, 2-0 Western Highlands Confer-ence) are the owners of the only unblemished record in west-ern North Carolina. previously, pCHs was ranked No. 7 in the ap poll.

“We’ve said right up front – and we’re not pretentious when we say it – that we feel like we’ve got a pretty good football team,” said pCHs head coach Bruce ol-lis. “We expect to win. Being 6-0 right now validates that, and we feel like we can make a push to be an awfully good football team down the road.”

pCHs is ranked behind No. 1 reidsville, No. 2 tarboro and No. 3 Lincolnton in this week’s poll.

winner of three straight games and has been impressive in do-ing so.

Beware of shady loansby attorney General roy Cooper

When money is scarce, a loan can be necessary to help cover critical expenses. But don’t let your need for quick cash lead you to agree to a bad loan that will leave you even worse off.

In particular, steer clear of online payday loans and advance fee loan scams. While these kinds of loans may sound like the answer to your problems, they’ll likely wind up creating a whole new set of financial headaches for you.

Online payday loansPayday loans are small, short-

term, cash loans given against your next paycheck. The catch is that the loan is due in full on your next payday, typically in two weeks. If you aren’t able to repay the loan that fast, and many borrowers aren’t, you can get stuck having to take out a new loan or rollover the old one. Once you take out one payday loan, it’s easy to get trapped into a cycle where you take out more and more loans, without ever being able to pay off your first one.

For years, we fought abusive payday lenders who were operating stores across North Carolina. We shut down the storefront payday lenders for good in 2006, but payday lenders located around the world continue to reach North Carolina consumers through the Internet.

Get the facts about online payday loans:

• Payday loans are illegal in North Carolina, and for a good reason. These loans are a bad credit option and can sink you deeper into debt.

• It’s often difficult to find out the true name and location of Inter-net payday lenders. Some of these lenders are overseas and unregu-lated, while others say they’re af-filiated with Indian tribes and claim to operate outside of federal and state law. You won’t have much recourse when problems – like harassing calls to collect on your debt – start.

• Applying for a payday loan requires you to share lots of per-sonal information, including your

bank account number. The payday lender can sell your information and you could end up a victim of identity theft. Never give your bank account number to a company you don’t know and trust.

• Online payday loans are costly, with interest rates that are more than ten times the maximum allowed for small loans under state law. If you don’t pay back the loan on time, you may pay more in interest and fees than the amount you borrowed.

• Borrowers who can’t pay back their payday loans on time can get abusive collection calls and some-times threats. In extreme circum-stances, borrowers can even lose their jobs due to constant, harassing collection phone calls made to their place of work.

Advance fee loansAdvance fee loans promise you

easy access to cash, even if you have poor credit. These lenders say they can help you get a loan, if you pay them a fee first. But the loan never happens, even after you’ve paid the fee.

Here’s how to steer clear of advance fee loan scams:

• Avoid any loan that requires a large upfront payment. Legitimate lenders will not charge you fees be-fore the loan is closed. Under North Carolina law, it’s illegal for a loan broker to charge an advance fee to get you a loan or a credit card.

• Beware of anyone who says they can decide to give you a loan over the phone without a credit check, or who says you qualify for a loan regardless of your credit history.

• Never agree to send or wire money immediately or provide your bank account number to cover an upfront fee on a loan. Once you pay, the scammer is likely to disappear with your money and you won’t get a loan.

• Also, avoid offers to get credit cards for an upfront fee. You’ll be asked to give your bank ac-count information and authorize an electronic draft to pay the fee.

In most cases, the scammers take your money and you never get a credit card.

Better options for loansConsider these options instead

of online payday loans and advance fee loans:

• Short-term loans from family or friends.

• Salary advances from your place of work.

• Small loans from credit unions or licensed lenders such as con-sumer finance companies.

• Non-profit credit counselors who can help you establish a budget and set up a payment plan for your debts.

For more tips or to report an online payday loan, advance fee loan or other loan scam, contact my Consumer Protection Division at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within North Carolina or online at www.ncdoj.gov.

DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not

so long ago, a local couple

happened upon a skinny

little Appaloosa mare in a

dirt lot. Her owner no longer

wanted to trail ride her; she

wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew

a few things about horses

and decided to take her

home with them and find

the little mare a new family.

Some extra food, good grass

and a few trail rides later this

couple put an ad up in the

local feed store.

At this very same time, a

sweet “horse crazy” young

girl had convinced her

parents to let her take some

riding lessons. She caught

the bug and now dreamed of

having her own horse. After

some poking and prodding

her parents answered an ad

they found at the local feed

store: an Appaloosa mare –

for sale! The little girl, whose name

is Amanda, met the little

mare, who’s name is Nia,

and as most dreams happen

(when they come true) it was

destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take

lessons from a local profes-

sional. After about six weeks

of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding

Club Horse Trial at FENCE

where they won their dres-

sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country

course and stadium jump-

ing. They ended up high

point!Amanda Morfino on her new horse Nia, with Renée and Nick Morfino. (photo submitted)

Be aware of veteran scamsPolk County Veteran’s Ser-

vice Officer Darrel Moore warns the public of a scam tar-geted toward veterans. Accord-ing to Moore, a group, going by the name The Association of Wartime Veterans, has recently been marketing itself in central North Carolina as a financial planner for veterans.

At their meetings, the repre-sentatives explain to veterans or spouses how to adjust medical bills and retirement pay to help veterans qualify for VA Aid and Attendance. They claim that all veterans and spouses over 65 are considered disabled and most can qualify for A&A if they work with the organization. VA claims filing is free, but at-torney’s fees are billed.

Moore says the presenter is very careful not to identify who their attorneys or financial planners might be. They insist that their function is to educate veterans and spouses what their rights and benefits are. They then get the veterans to return a call to their claims filers to do a screening.

“In a presentation I attended with a group of WWII vets,” said Moore. “Anyone who was already using a financial plan-ner or who had already filed a VA health benefits claim was told that they did not qualify due to the level of their income.”

Those without planners who accepted the program signed a POA for all financial matters in-cluding filing VA forms. Moore says the veteran then deposits any pension, social security and retirement payments with the financial planner, who releases a small enough amount back to the veteran to drop their income below VA poverty levels, quali-fying for added VA benefits.

Moore says the group holds “educational meetings” in re-tirement communities, senior

centers, veterans organiza-tions.

He says they make the fol-lowing claims:

1. They claim to be endorsed by an NBC news article, but the clip they use simply identifies what A&A is. Most nursing homes assist families in apply-ing for any source of income, including the A&A benefit.

2. They claim to be members of the Better Business Bureau – they are in Michigan, as a limited liability company in the business of selling products.

3. They claim to be a 501(c)(19) – which Moore says they are in Chicago, but that branch is not endorsed by the BBB, and no information is available about them.

4. In Ohio, they are licensed to provide health insurance.

5. They claim to be VA ac-credited to file claims – but are not on the VA’s published list.

Names they retain, according to Moore:

• Veterans A&A Benefits at www.veteransaidbenefit.org.

• Some of the local attorneys they claim to help steer clients to are at: www.veteransaidben-efit.org/find_veterans_aid_at-tendance_benefit_consultant.htm#NC.

• National Care Planning Council in Missouri and are called “MOVeteranAid” at http://moveteranaid.org.

• All of the above are part of Port Kickham, Inc, a financial planner.

• The founder is Mary Schneider who umbrellas the company under the Atlantis Financial Partners, Inc.

• According to Moore, none of the above companies are registered with the Secretary of State to do business in N.C.

For more information, con-tact Moore at 828-894-0003.

Conversations from Birdlandby DonWeathington

Last fall I ran across an old photo of my dad in his Navy uniform. He was holding an infant (me) and sporting a big grin. It was taken the first time he saw me. I was struck by the coincidence that I had come home from war to a child I hadn’t seen also. I then thought about all those fathers who didn’t make it home to see their children and the children who never knew their fathers.

In September of this year (2010) I attended the funeral of my friend Phi l l ip . We were in Viet-nam together and have spent some time to-gether since then. We re-connected at a unit reunion and found that we still had that same volatile relationship that we had in Vietnam. We dis-agreed about things from the very first conversation we had, but learned to respect, even like, each other.

On the first day that I went to the unit where we served together, Phillip approached me and said: “I hear you’re a conscientious objector. Well, I hope you don’t get yourself in some kind of (trouble) and expect me to pull you out.” I re-plied, “Well if you get in some kind of (trouble), don’t expect

me to pull you out either. And I’m the medic.” Later he told me, “I just had to sit down and think about that one, Doc. I was surprised you had that much grit.”

Eventually the men of the outfit grew to trust me and came to me for all kinds of is-sues - physical and otherwise. They still do. I am proud to be there for them and to do what-ever I can to be their friend. It is clear to me that many of those I served with including Phil-

lip came home with problems they couldn’t understand or even recog-nize as prob-lems.

I have wor-ried about many of those guys over the years. I saw what they’ve dealt with - drugs, alcohol, marriage problems, flash backs, employment prob-lems, isolation, nightmares, and under the surface a simmering rage - the primary symptoms of PTSD. I encouraged many of them to seek help at the VA. Most didn’t initially, but now several are in treatment for PTSD.

Concerning the Iraq/Af-ghanistan wars, a recent Rand Corporation report states that 3.3 million deployments have occurred, served by approx-

imately 2 million persons. Obviously many have served more than one tour; some have served several. Rand says that 20% of returnees have symp-toms of PTSD. An additional 19% likely have traumatic brain injury (TBI). And still another 7% report mixed symp-toms of both PTSD and TBI. In case your math skills are rusty, that’s 46%, close to a million returnees who will need as-sistance.

Rand estimates the cost of serving their needs at $6.2 billion. This will stretch the resources of the VA system. Finding treatment nearby will be impossible in many cases. The impact on the returning soldiers and their families will be great - overwhelming financial difficulties, adjust-ment factors, unemployability, alcohol/drug abuse, managing the ups and downs associated with the disorders and that rage. Veteran suicide rates have risen drastically in the past 5 years. We will hear a lot about this in the coming years.

Most of our soldiers want to come home. Unfortunately it’s not as rosy a picture when they actually get here.

Don Weathington is a re-tired psychotherapist and busi-ness owner who lives in Gil-lette Woods at a place called Birdland.

Coming home


How do we breed out the love of war?To the Editor:

I have just read a magazine, “Military Quarterly History.” When one reads article after article on battles and warriors, it makes me think: What kind of minds enjoy these stories? Throughout history men have written about valor, courage, bravery of its participants, but when have they

written about the lust for blood? The desire for war?

For thousands of years some men brought up their sons to look forward to going to war, with the words “courage,” etc. One man told me very proudly, “My fam-ily have been warriors for over 700 years.”

They write about “the exhila-ration you feel, just before going into battle.” Is that not the carnal instinct a lion feels moving in for the kill? Think about that exhila-ration and what it means. And of course the vas merchandising of violence and killing by the motion

picture industry. They are simply filling a demand that was already there.

There is a percentage of men who are not brought up that way: educators, doctors, most farmers. So let’s try to aim our next genera-tion of men into being of service to mankind. Where true happiness lies. Abdul Baha, son of the found-er of the Bahai faith said: “It will take three generations to breed out the love of war in some men.” How do we breed out the love of war? Go to your holy books. I believe you will find the answers.

One more tryTo the Editor:

I will again try to address Mr. Hardvall’s concerns. I think most citizens understand my previous ex-planations but I will try to clarify the issues further for Mr. Hardvall.

Mr. Hardvall again does not seem to understand why the four projects we inherited from the prior board went over budget. The prior board had a target of $21,000,000 to spend on these four projects. This was all that the LGC said the county could borrow at that time. They were in a rush to sign all contracts for these projects before the new board was seated. To get to the $21,000,000 figure they had to cut necessary items out of these contracts. We were forced to add these items back and pay for them out of county rev-enues because the prior board had borrowed the LGC’s limit for Polk County. If we had not added these back the library would not have had furniture, ballfields at the recreation park would not have lighting, trucks at the transfer station would not have access to lower level to haul out trash dumped there and Laughter Pond would be filled in with silt from the erosion at the new middle school and recreation park. These are just some of the problems. I could go on and on, but you get the point.

The issue on whether the current site that the board of commissioners is building the DSS building or the site where we had planned on Park Street is a difference of opinion. I believe the Park Street site to be the best for the citizens in cost and acces-sibility. Apparently so did the county manager as he was the one that found the property on Park Street and rec-ommended it to the board. I would say that a one story is more expensive than a two story building containing the same square footage. A two story building takes less grading, less roof-ing, less foundation, etc….

Mr. Hardvall tries to confuse the issue further by now including the price of the building and property we purchased for the senior center to come up with $1,300,000. Not sure why this is?

I don’t know who Mr. Hardvall spoke with that could have purchased the Park Street property for $75,000

at the same time we were looking at the property. No names, just a claim by Mr. Hardvall. I have a copy of the listing from the realtor showing the $115,000 asking price. If he or any-one else would like to see they can contact me or the county manager. This listing is dated 5/8/08. If Mr. Hardvall had read all of the closed session minutes he would see on 10/6/08 the county’s initial offer was $70,000. Maybe Mr. Hardvall left this out to twist the facts to his liking?

Again Mr. Hardvall is not correct on what was or was not discussed in closed session. We discussed which properties we had available and what we could offer on each to fit within a budget number that we had agreed upon. Common sense only tells you that you don’t discuss what you will offer initially and the highest you would go in open session. As the seller would know and hold out for the higher amount.

As far as the timing of the release of closed session minutes this is up to the current board. They could have released these as soon as they went into office. Maybe there was a plan as to when these would be released? You will need to address this with the current board.

I think if Mr. Hardvall would be honest, he would see that the new board of commissioners has been in closed session on numerous oc-casions for acquisition of property. They have conducted business no differently than the previous board. This is evident in the closed ses-sion minutes from 1/5/09 when the Park Street property was discussed in closed session by Walker, Wat-son, Gasperson, McDermott and Melton.

One current item Mr. Hardvall has forgotten to mention is that the current Bbard of Walker, Mc-Dermott, Gasperson, Melton and Watson are buying property with an existing building inside of Columbus for mental health. This property was rezoned on 9/16/10 by Columbus for this specific purpose. Mr. Hardvall, why has the current board not dis-cussed this in their public meetings? I noticed they have had several closed sessions for acquisition of property. Could they be hiding deals like Mr. Hardvall accused us of doing?

work on display from artists all across the region with a huge se-lection of items that vary in style, media and price. In addition to the artists’ booths, Tryon Arts and Crafts will have student work for sale and a tent for work created by weavers and fiber artists.

Tryon Little Theater, Tryon Painters and Sculptors, Tryon Fine Arts Center, Children’s Theater Festival, and the Tryon Doll Mak-ers have each been invited to have a booth. Artists and organizations will present works in everything from pottery to jewelry, handmade soaps to watercolors, wooden crafts to woven blankets, photography to leatherwork and more.

Tryon Arts and Crafts will have a large demonstration area for numerous crafts and methods, and several artists will demonstrate

Again Mr. Hardvall explain how having two separate buildings, one for mental health and the other for DSS, is more cost effective than what our board had planned of both services in one building on Park Street.

As far as citizens input I am really a little confused. When I was chair-man of the board of commissioners six years ago, I was blasted for the meetings going too long. I let the citizens have ample time to comment and would not cut them short. So now I am being blasted by Mr. Hard-vall for not listening to the citizens? Remember during my last three years as commissioner I was not chairman and citizen input at the meeting was not controlled by me.

Mr. Hardvall’s comparison of us raising taxes when we first came into office versus the current board not raising taxes is not a fair comparison. When we came into office the prior board had borrowed $21,000,000 with intentions on raising taxes the following year to cover the debt payments on the loan. At that time general fund revenues totaled around

$18,555,813 with expenditures at $18,555,035 for the county. This was before adding the new debt payments of over $2,000,000 per year starting the next year and additional costs to complete the poorly planned projects from the prior board. Any board of commissioners facing these circum-stances would have to raise taxes or if they did not raise taxes they would have to cut county services to the point they were non existent. We did both to minimize the tax increase, we raised taxes and made cuts to some departments.

In contrast to this, we did pur-chase the property and building for the senior center and a separate piece of property for DSS/mental health. General fund revenues were almost $23,034,670 for the county with expenditures at $20,083,677. We also left the current board with over $7,000,000 in unreserved fund balance and growing. Unreserved Fund Balance is the county’s savings account. The money is not needed to fund the current budget. This is why the current board could afford to pay for these without raising taxes. In fact, this is why the current board has been able to pay off debt. We did not leave them in a bad financial situation like the board prior to ours

did to us.During my time on the board of

commissioners, I was normally in the minority. During the last year as a commissioner, I could see that the county was taking in too much money from the citizens in the form of taxes due to the growth of the tax base over the last couple of years. I believe the above paragraphs point that out very clearly. We started out during our time on the board as not having enough revenue to pay our debt to having too much revenue. Ted Owens and I tried for a tax cut. It was a small cut but we were hoping to get another commissioner to go along with us as were the minority position on the board. The tax cut was voted down by the other three commission-ers. Mr. Hardvall fails to mention this small point in his article.

Mr. Hardvall also claims that the current board of commissioners cut your property taxes. He tries to confuse you with including vehicle taxes. Everyone knows that vehicles depreciate in value each year. Dur-ing a recession people do not buy as many new cars and the county’s vehicle tax revenue is going to naturally go down. This is why you look at real property tax revenue to see if you got a tax break or not.

By looking at the previous (before revaluation) real property revenue versus the current (after revaluation) Real Property revenue you will see a 3 percent increase in tax revenue. Even if you do as Mr. Hardvall says and include vehicle taxes, you still get a 1 percent increase in revenue. Where is the tax cut from the current board, Mr. Hardvall?

Again I used the information straight from the Polk County gov-ernment offices and the state website for county finances both of which are available to anyone. I have tried to respond to Mr. Hardvall’s accusations in a accurate and truthful manner. If I were a citizen of Polk County and planned on voting this fall, I would get the facts for myself and verify what I have stated above with the county office and the State website.

It is obvious that Mr. Hardvall is not trying to bring out the truth. He is only twisting the facts to fit the tale that he tells. Everyone is more than aware that Mr. Hardvall is a Democrat operative from the local Democrat Party’s inner circle. Just ask Mr. McFalls. They will stop at nothing to win this election. Let’s have an honest debate of the issues and stop the nonsense.

their talents in their own booths. Visitors at the event will see pottery making, lapi-dary, jewelry making, woodturning, weav-ing, as well as metal-working in the forge throughout both days. Some demonstrators will offer guests the chance to try the crafts for themselves.

Music lovers will be treated to the sounds of some regional music. Saturday afternoon, the Shane Pruitt Band from Spartanburg, S.C., will perform and the Red Hot Sugar Ba-bies from Hendersonville, N.C., will close the day. Sunday afternoon, festival-goers will enjoy music from Bradley Ditto of Tryon, and Susan

and Dana Robinson of Marshall, N.C., will close the festival. In addition to the music, Thee Inner

• Fall Festival(conTinueD from page 14)

Cirkus, from Greenville, S.C., will perform in the crowd and on stage both days.

Children of all ages will be en-tertained with a variety of activities and several free craft projects. The kids can paint and decorate small pumpkins and then make masks, hats, and other components for dress-up – just in time for Hal-loween. They will be able to watch blacksmiths in the forge, try their hand at weaving, observe wood-turners creating bowls, search for

semi-precious stones in the “rock pool,” and more.

The fall festival is free and open to the public. All donations col-lected over the weekend will go to support the mission of Tryon Arts and Crafts. Packard Woodworking, Tryon Estates, WNC Magazine and St. Luke’s Hospital are sponsors of the festival. The festival also re-ceived support from the North Caro-lina Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Cultural Resources, and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes a great nation deserves great art.


Explore the Arts presents Warren Carson: ‘Poetry in Black’

Poets, often thought to be superfluous in times of social tur-moil, most often reflect the truth of their times. Nikki Giovanni wrote: “diamonds are mined...oil is discovered...gold is found...but thoughts are uncovered...” War-ren Carson, PhD, will uncover thoughts of contemporary Afri-can American poets on Thursday, October 7 at Explore the Arts: Poetry in Black at the Tryon Fine Arts Center.

From mainstream to black arts and revolutionary poets to hip hop and spoken word, Dr. Carson will discuss modern and contemporary periods of African American poetry.

A nationally recognized scholar, Dr. Carson is a tenured professor of English and African American Studies at USC Up-state; a Diversity Fellow at the Riley Institute at Furman Uni-versity; president of the College Language Association; poetry consultant for the College Board Advanced Placement Exams.

A Tryon native, Warren has been active on the Tryon Coun-cil, the Garrison Chapel Baptist Church, Roseland Community Center, speaker for the Upstairs Artspace gallery program “Har-lem Renaissance” and is cur-rently on the board of directors at Tryon Fine Arts Center and a

member of the Explore the Arts Committee.

In its second year, TFAC’s Explore the Arts is an innovative series for adult and youth to pique your curiosity and creativity, and to explore diversity in the ARTS. The presentation will be held in the Mahler Family Board Room from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. A modest admission is collected at the door. No reservations are necessary. Light refreshments will be served.

For further information call Tryon Fine Arts Center at 828-859-9453 or visit the web site www.tryonarts.org.
