of the Tuesday, May 29 Bul-letin should have said John (Jack) Daunt III, the son of John Daunt Jr. and the late Julia Pearson Daunt of Polk County, died May 21 in Sara-sota, Fla. The version printed on May 29, which was based on information provided to the Bulletin, said John (Jack) Daunt Jr. died. In fact, John (Jack) Daunt Jr. is still alive.

bottle were found approxi-mately 20 to 30 feet from the Appaloosa Lane home, officers said.

Officers said the residents of the home have recently moved out of the area, so the investi-gation continues.

A sheriff’s investigator dis-covered the materials on the roadside Monday morning and then visited the Appa-loosa Lane home to talk with the residents, who were not at home. While on the prop-erty, the investigator found the other materials in the yard along with other trash, which the suspects had attempted to burn, according to sheriff’s office reports.

The N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) assisted the sheriff’s office and cleaned up the materials.

This is the eighth meth lab discovered in Polk County since August 2011.

The largest meth lab in Polk County’s history was discovered in August 2011 in Sunny View.

Another meth lab was dis-covered in Green Creek in ear-ly November and the county’s third meth lab was discovered in Lynn later in November 2011.

In January of this year, the sheriff ’s office discovered three meth labs in the woods in Mill Spring.

Prior to the 2011 meth lab discoveries, no meth labs had been discovered in Polk Coun-ty since 2007.

The meth labs discovered in Hunting Country were consid-ered small and medium sized, and sheriff’s office reports said they used the method referred to as “shake and bake” to cre-ate the meth.

Columbus public works fixes Morgan Chapel fire hydrant issueCouncil commends staff for discovering problemby Leah Justice

Columbus Town Council commended its public works department during a meeting May 17 for finding and repair-ing an issue with fire hydrants at Morgan Chapel Village the town had been dealing with for years.

Some hydrants, particularly along Mountain Laurel Drive, were bagged because they had non-existent or very low water pressure.

Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said town staff located a previously unknown valve that was closed halfway. The valve was completely bur-ied and not listed on any water maps provided by the original developer or any of the town’s water maps.

Kanipe said employees locat-ed the valve with a metal detec-tor using the location where the pressure began to drop. Council members discussed how much the repair could have cost if the town had hired an outside engi-neer to find the problem.

“Our public works staff did a tremendous job identifying this issue and determining the best way to approach a resolution,” Kanipe said. “Ricky McGuinn and James Smith were the staff assigned from the town and deter-mined there must be a reason the pressure dropped so dramatically in such a short distance.”

Kanipe said after not find-ing the valve on a map, the employees searched for a valve in the area where the pressure dropped and uncovered a valve covered by years of dirt, grass and tree roots. It was found to be open only halfway and once the valve was opened fully, the tests showed a significant increase in pressure.

The fix resulted in five hy-drants coming into service in the area.

“Our public works staff is to be commended heartily for this good work,” Kanipe told town council. “The town had worked for some time to determine the cause of the reduced pressure in this area and spoken with engineers about the different remedies to fix this. Certainly it goes without question that finding this valve saved the town a substantial amount of money that would have oth-erwise been spent to improve the water pressure to Morgan Chapel Village.”

“Our public works staff did a tremendous job identifying this issue and determining the best way to approach a resolution.Ricky McGuinn and James Smith were the staff assigned from the town….”

St. Luke’s Hospital volunteers were recently honored with a lun-cheon. Those volunteers honored for 250 hours of service were Glo-ria Wilfong and Clyde Plumley. Those honored for 100 hours of service were Elsie Osborn, Har-riett Case and Paul Foster.

Several St. Luke’s Hospital departments rely on volunteer help. Volunteers at the reception desk in the radiology department enjoy a fast-paced day of greeting patients. Volunteers also help out

in the pharmacy and with tasks such as filing in the business office, medical records and the foundation.

There are also WINGS volun-teers who deliver the mail within the hospital. On the “WINGS” of these special volunteers, all in-terdepartmental mail is delivered daily. The daily couriers deliver lab results and mail to local physi-cian offices.

A great place to get healthier Last weekend’s Spring Into Summer event further proved that if

you want to make over your life in a healthy fashion, the foothills area of the Carolinas is the right place to be.

Polk Fit, Fresh and Friendly hosted the event to promote ways in which our local residents can make healthier choices and thereby live healthier lives.

The Polk County Farmers Market in Columbus featured a record 54 vendors selling herb plants, lettuces and zucchini to assist in the creation of a healthy dinner, plus sunflowers to brighten up your mood.

Meanwhile, volunteers offered maps of all the area trails so locals could get outside and get moving. Vendors at the community health fair spent the afternoon teaching community members about proper dental care, giving advice related to caring for elderly loved ones and offering blood pressure checks.

Finally, in the evening, the Polk County Recreation Department welcomed families to Gibson Pool to get reacquainted with the swimming pool and learn some safety tips for summer.

The idea in mentioning this all again is to say that if you’ve ever felt like you didn’t know where to begin in your journey to getting healthier, just look around. We have a wealth of opportunities all around us - you only have to step outside your front door.

— Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Comments made at www.tryondailybulletin.comTryon Daily Bulletin posted

the article titled: “Columbus to consider allowing golf cart use on some streets”

Daniel said: “I don’t see what it would hurt, in the state of SC you can drive a golf cart 5 miles from your house on any secondary road in the state. All you need in SC is a permit aquired from the DMV. Proof of insurance (homeowners is acceptable) and $5 is how they do it and I think that would work

just fine here. Also it has worked in Saluda so I don’t see why it would not work here in Columbus and Tryon. If you are worried about the speed that they travel then we would have to start worrying about people on mopeds because they don’t travel at high speeds either. Daylight hours only would make sense, but other then that and sticking to secondary roads I think that it would work fine and open up some alternative transportation.”

Get things done despite political differences

To the editor: On July 4th weekend, 22

years ago, my husband and I topped the Saluda Grade for the first time and gasped at the beauty of the valley below.

In the city of Columbus we witnessed true community spirit and experi-enced Southern hospitality for

the first time. Before the week was over, we bought a house and in 1992 we made the move to make Polk County, N.C. our home. We were welcomed, guided and counseled in the

customs, language and ways of our adopted home, by people who had lived here all their lives.

All they asked us to do was listen, learn and be in dialogue

Sensible mountain, ridgeline protections best insurance

To the Editor:In his recent Tryon Daily

Bullet in column, former Saluda May-or Rodney Gibson suggests that those who support sensible development in the mountains are fear-mongering, and then he goes right on to fear-monger himself.

“Taking of land?” Hardly. Too expensive to be able to

build? Not at all.Often, carefully reading an

ordinance helps a critic under-stand it. If he had done so, Mr. Gibson would have seen that the Mountain and Ridgeline Protec-tion Ordinances (MRPO) were carefully drafted to make build-ing for single families and family subdivisions easy and inexpen-sive. Truly. The ordinances state that such landowners can use the services and data provided by Polk County, for free.

Landowners are not thwarted from building on their own land, or from dividing it to allow

Letters to the editor

children to live here. And, as otherwise in Polk County’s ordi-nances, family subdivisions are given special considerations to make family development easier.

Question your source if some-one tells you something different.

Read the ordinances for yourself.

Mr. Gibson cites the rock outcroppings along Highway 176 as evidence of no

need for slope protections. But rock outcroppings are not what MRPO concentrates on. Perhaps Mr. Gibson should have come a bit farther down Highway 176 to be reminded of Chocolate Drop Mountain. Real landslides occurred there. Real damage was done to property owners on Chocolate Drop and, even more tragically, to homeowners at the base of the mountain. That’s not imaginary. That’s not “some-where else.” That’s right here.

Quite a few of the people who oppose mountain and ridgeline protection have said, “I’m so tired of hearing about Chocolate Drop.” Are they asking people to just forget about it? To deny that

Dogs should be  allowed at market

To the editor:I agree 100 percent with

Susan McNabb’s letter con-cerning the farmers’ market in Columbus. I visited the market a few weeks ago and was also advised that dogs were no longer allowed due to health regula-tions.

I was advised that a dog had urinated on fresh produce. I was amazed that produce would be displayed on the ground and not on tables.

Whilst walking around the

Letters to the editor

venders, I noticed children run-ning around and picking up produce and putting it back. That to me is not a healthy situation.

The farmers market used to be a family-oriented outing which we all enjoyed and so did our

four-legged “kids.” It never ceases to amaze me that dogs are so often discriminated against.

As we all know we depend on their services for many reasons, on a daily basis and we should respect and accommodate them as much as possible. I, for one, will no longer support the farmers market in Columbus.

– Jeanette Larson, Columbus

with them. We shared ideas, thoughts, and histories. We learned to respect each other and our differences.

Our politicians used to sit down and discuss things, but they seem to have lost the ability/desire to see or ac-cept any point of view other than their own. They seem to have forgotten that the people elected them to represent their needs and have become more beholden to big money interests.

Many good projects are being voted down before any or very little discussion about how the best interests of all Americans can be served.. The Health Care Act is only one such item.

Without even considering how to make it work better for all, some who are running for the highest office in the country, have said they will make its repeal a top priority.

My great-granddaughter, Crystal Rose, is 5 years old and suffers from a rare form of Leukemia, with a blood type of AB-. She has a sister who is severely autistic. Because

of The Health Care Act, this family is able to get good care.

Without it, how will they manage? How many other families are there like this? Will the local hospital ER take care of them?

To have differences within a community is a good and normal thing. To talk about these differences without vilifying each other, but with a willingness to compromise, is what makes a community great.

Why can’t our politicians put aside partisan politics, for-get about making their main objective to get re-elected, sit down in community, and really try to find solutions to the country’s problems?

What happened to the idea of friends calmly discussing their differences? What hap-pened to common sense?

America has been, and can be again, the greatest com-munity in the world, if we will just come together and listen to each other in a climate of mutual respect and kindness, setting aside economic sta-tus, party politics, race and ethnicity.

it ever happened? And why are they so derisive of those who are concerned about mountain and ridgeline protection? We’ll be condemned to repeat that Chocolate Drop history, and tragedy, if we follow those peo-ples’ advice to forego mountain and ridgeline protection.

Mr. Gibson seems to doubt that there has been property damage and loss of lives from landslides. Incumbent Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden suggested that reports of it were not true. But all either one needed to do was to Google “landslides in western nc” to see the destruc-tion and, yes, death that occurs when mountain construction is improperly or unwittingly done.

One article refers to “a tor-rent of mud rushing down from Fishhawk Mountain [washing] away 15 homes and [killing] five people in Peeks Creek.” “A 2009 investigation by the Citi-zen-Times found that 534 slides since 1990 have destroyed 40 homes and buildings.”

A mudslide in Maggie Val-ley destroyed a home. And “a slow-moving landslide of about five acres” made living in Mike Boggan’s home in Franklin too dangerous. Mr. Boggan’s house was condemned, and he had to move in with friends.

Homebuyers in Henderson County were also victimized by unscrupulous or unskilled builders who built on unstable slopes, causing the construction to settle and slide. Homeown-ers needed to build extensive retaining walls for tens of thousands of dollars to rescue

the construction, and even that may not have worked. Lawsuits were brought. At that time, Henderson County officials said they wished they’d had moun-tain and ridgeline protections in place so all of that could have been avoided. Polk County wisely adopted such ordinances three years ago.

Even if the elevation thresh-old is removed from Polk County’s ordinance, which now seems likely, it is essential to retain the Best Management Practices building techniques in the Mountain and Ridgeline Protection Ordinances for both sloped areas and ridgelines. Those practices protect home-owners against unscrupulous or unknowing developers (which we have already experienced right here). That’s only sen-sible.

Go to the website www.wnc-sos.com and you’ll learn that all of Western North Carolina has been designated a “High Risk Landslide Hazard Zone.” Us-ing a link from the site (pretty far down), you can see graphic photographs of damage from landslides in Western North Carolina. The site will also tell you that there is no insurance to cover damage from landslides.

The best insurance, the only insurance, is keeping in place the geologically and otherwise scientifically-based mountain and ridgeline protections that Polk County has previously adopted so that soil, surface water and other land conditions are investigated before building and so that building is done safely in the first place.

– Renée McDermott, Polk County Board of Commissioners

TR&HC to host Charity Jumper Challenge June 8Tryon Riding & Hunt Club

(TR&HC) will hold a $5,000 Charity Jumper Challenge dur-ing the 84th TR&HC Charity Horse Show I, June 6-10 at FENCE. The jumper challenge will be held Friday, June 8 at 6 p.m.

TR&HC chairwomen Jen-nifer Smith and Linda Ketcham were the driving force behind the idea to create the event. With the help of Farm House owner Noreen Cothran, Ariat was secured as a sponsor. As is done in the $1 million FTI Great Charity Challenge in Wellington, Fla., area nonprof-its were invited to submit an application for the opportunity

to participate in the event. Out of 23 applicants, eight

were drawn out of a hat on Friday, June 1. The nonprofits selected to par-ticipate are:

• Kiwanis Foundation

• Foothills Humane Soci-ety

• T r y o n Arts & Crafts School

• Children’s Theater Festival

• Tryon Elementary School PTA

• St. Luke’s Hospital Foun-

dation• Foothills Equestrian Nature

Center• B i g

Brothers Big Sisters of Polk County

The select-ed nonprofits will be ran-domly paired w i t h l o c a l riding teams to represent them in the jumper chal-

lenge to create an equal chance for winning. This multi-charity approach has also allowed the event to assemble a diverse

portfolio of charities cover-ing animal rescue, children’s causes, family care, medical support, equestrians, education, the arts and the environment, among others.

All eight of the randomly selected organizations will receive a portion of the prize money, from $1,500 for first place to $250 for eighth place. All of the riders will volunteer their time and skills to partici-pate in this event.

The public is invited to bring a picnic and support a favorite nonprofit while watching a team relay event.

This program is in addition to the TR&HC scholarship avail-able through the Polk County

Community Foundation, which was awarded this year to Cade Underwood.

Up, up and away Seventh graders at Polk County Middle School recently learned about the science that explains why hot air balloons fly. Dr. Robert Pettis, seventh-grade science teacher, received two grants to fund this activity. A $750 grant from the Community Foundation of Western North Carolina and a $300 grant from the Polk County Community Foundation’s Middle School fund were used to purchase materials to build and launch paper hot air balloons. The final balloon launched was caught in an up-draft and ascended approximately 800 feet and was carried up and over Little White Oak Mountain. Dr. Pettis said he plans to make this an annual activity. Right: Mr. Claussen, Sheila Rodriguez, Litzy Sanchez-Roman and Erica Ramirez.

Polk extension service offers seafood cooking class June 14Polk County Cooperative

Extension Service will offer a “Seafood at Its Best Cooking Class” on June 14 at 2 p.m. at the extension office.

The class will consist of four mini-sessions, which will include:

1. What is seafood and who supplies it to the United States?

2. Health benefits of enjoy-ing seafood and new USDA

guidelines 3. Seafood risks4. Healthy preparation tech-

niques Seafood is consumed all over

the world. It provides the world’s prime source of protein. More than one billion people rely on seafood as their primary source of animal protein. Iceland, Japan and Portugal are the greatest

consumers of seafood per capita in the world.

According to class organizers, research over the past few de-cades has shown that the nutrients and minerals in seafood can make improvements in brain devel-opment and reproduction, and studies have shown strong links between fish and healthy hearts. Recent studies suggest that older

people who eat fish at least once a week could also have a lower chance of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

To learn more about the health benefits of seafood as well as how to cook seafood dishes, call the extension office at 828-894-8218 and reserve your space.

NORTH

SOUTH

This is a prob-lem in a match point game where you are required to make a decision early on in the play of a hand. You are declarer in 1 NT after 1Diamond by South, 1 Spade by North, 1NT by South and all Pass.

West leads the Heart Queen, East encourages with the 9. You play small and West continues with the Heart Jack, East overtakes with the King. You play small again. East now plays the Heart 10, West shows out, and you win with the Ace.

What do you do now, and why? Be very specific about your plan with justification

for your approach. If you chose to play on Diamonds, you just got

a bad score. If you played a Club, you may have a chance to get a top.

The key point in this hand is that you have to get your winners before the opponents get theirs.

Did you take the time to notice that once the opponents get back in they will have 4 Hearts, 1 Club and 3 Spades and that would put you down 2?

If you try to set up your Diamonds and they don’t behave for you, you’ll be giving them another trick and be down 3 for -150. Even if you’re lucky enough to get 5 Diamond tricks, you’ll still be down 1.

But more importantly, did you notice that the opponents can easily make at least 2 Hearts if they choose to compete? That would give them a +110. So if you just hold your losses to -100, you should get a great score.

Therefore, if you immediately attack Clubs to set up 2 winners in that suit plus your other 3 sure winners, you would be down 2 for -100. The most the defense could get would be 4 Hearts, 3 Spades and 1 Club, which gives them +100.

The moral to this hand is that some-times you have to be a defensive declar-er. That is, you must try to prevent the opponents from getting enough tricks that would give you a really bad score. This was not an easy hand.

However, I want you to be aware that there is a lot more on being a declarer than trying to take as many tricks as possible. Sometimes you must just play for a chance to get the best pos-sible result.

Yes, you were lucky the opponents didn’t compete to 2 Hearts. But since they didn’t, you should take advantage of the situation and play for your best result.
