Alexander’s Ford officially certified as part of Overmountain Victory National Historic TrailbySamanthaHurst

Plumes of smoke rose from the just-fired muskets of reen-actors Wednesday, Oct. 5 com-memorating the certification of Alexander’s Ford in Polk County as an official part of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail.

Paul Carson, superintendent of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, said he and local volunteers have worked since 2005 to have the 162-acres of Alexander’s Ford included.

“It feels great to finally rec-ognize such a significant part of the Patriots’ journey to Kings Mountain… this was for many of the soldiers that went on to that battle the last place they would lay their heads down to rest on

Beatrice lies in her corner quiet and reserved while her roommates yip at incoming visitors. They want to prance around and play with a ball, but Beatrice, a mature 12-year-old hound mix, simply wants a soft bed again.

Beatrice grew out of her puppy phase

a long time ago at home with her owner. But when her owner passed away recently, there was nowhere for her to go but the Foothills Humane Society (FHS) shelter.

FHS Board President Ruth Kellick-Grubbs said this summer the shelter

has been burdened with large numbers of surrendered or stray animals.

“As the county grows, the ani-mal population grows,” Kellick-Grubbs said. “So, every day it’s a full-on effort to find the animals homes.”

Beatrice will be one of the more than 150 animals available for adoption this Sunday, Oct. 9 at the FHS Emergency Adopt-A-Thon.

FHS board member Bertie Phayer said the board decided to host the adopt-a-thon out of necessity and the heartbreak of seeing such an influx of animals waiting for homes.

“Tiny little kittens come in that people find in paper sacks… I don’t know how our volunteers handle it every day,” Phayer said with a hint of tears in her eyes. “This is not normal. We had a late puppy and kitten season and are just at the peak of that and need to find

homes for these precious animals.”The shelter currently has 170

animals awaiting new homes and more coming in every day; 17 came in a single day this sum-mer. The shelter is allowed by the state to house a maximum of 75 cats and 55 dogs. FHS remains in compliance because of the kindness of many community members who serve as foster homes, Phayer said.

“The foster program is re-ally a critical piece of the shelter program. If we’ve got fosters and we can flex the animals we have in the shelter it allows us to continue to accept the animals that are coming in where many shelters might have to euthanize,” Kellick-Grubbs said.

But this Sunday from 1-6 p.m., shelter volunteers hope to find forever homes for as many animals as they can adopt out.

The Foothills Humane Society is also diligently working with the community to “keep them home,” in other words prevent owners from turning in their

animals in the first place. Kellick-Grubbs said FHS cur-

rently hosts education programs in the schools to help kids learn how to behave around animals,

how to feed them and bathe them and how to train them to do things like sit and stay.

Phayer said the society also currently receives a donation of 1,000 pounds of food from Walmart every three weeks, some of which is offered to owners who had considered surrendering their animals for lack of money to feed them.

Phayer said the shelter is also working to establish adoption counselors to ensure families adopt the right pet for them and not one that would cause frustra-tion in the home or need more attention than an owner could provide.

Adopting a family pet costs very little initially as there are no adoption fees.

“Our pets are priceless, so we

• Humane society(Continued From page 3)

just ask for donations of what people can give,” Kellick-Grubbs said. “On Sunday we’d love to empty the shelter out.”

All of the animals avail-able for adoption are also fully prepared to settle into a new home. They’ve been fixed, have all their shots and are micro-chipped. The dogs have also been well socialized, Kellick-Grubbs said, through the 100 Percent Recyclable program, where volunteers come in and teach obedience to the dogs and take them on walks throughout the week.

Foothills Humane Society is located at 989 Little Mountain Rd. in Columbus.

this earth,” Carson said.In 1780 an all-volunteer

mounted army trekked from Abingdon, Va., to Kings Mountain in South Carolina in an effort to push out British soldiers attempt-ing to suppress dissent from the Patriots. Car-son described the 330-mile journey across four states as wearisome on the so ld iers , who ran scarce on provisions. The men pre-vailed, however, and defeated Major Patrick Ferguson and his 1,100-member Tory army after gathering word that Ferguson and his men had changed their course.

Kings Mountain was a turning point in the war and Alexander’s Ford was a turning point in the march, Carson said.

“It was a proud day for me be-cause we had been working on it for so long,” said Ambrose Mills, chairperson of the Polk County effort. “We couldn’t ignore the history of this place.”

In 1980, President Jimmy Cart-

er recognized the trail as the first national historic trail in the country. By 2002, just 16 miles were certi-fied. This number had since grown to 78 and now to just over 80 with the addition of Alexander’s Ford.

Martha Love is chair of the Margorie M. and Lawrence R. Bradley Endowment Fund of Polk County at Polk County Com-

munity Foun-dation, which provided grants t h e c o u n t y needed to pur-chase the site. Love spoke at the ceremony of conservation easements that will help protect and preserve the area as a nature preserve.

Polk County Commissioner Ray Gasperson spoke of the cer-tification event as a milestone in the effort.

“This is huge that this has been dedicated because now it will open the door for additional grants from the park service,” Gasperson said.

The National Park Service has awarded the county a $15,000 grant to create a master plan for the area.

THE PEG SUS GROUP

On Thursday, Oct. 6 the county signed a contract with Equinox Environmental out of Asheville to draft a site plan.

“We have a lot of easements to protect it,” Mills said. “With no structures to be placed beyond the first 1,200 feet.”

There would also be a need to seek additional funds for archeo-logical studies to identify areas that could include valuable links to the area’s history. Carson said this would be an imperative part of the process because no digging or con-struction can be done until the areas are marked off. Once these pieces are complete, Mills said, plans for the nature preserve include a short biking trail, an open picnic shelter and hiking trails winding through the property. Mills said the county anticipates a portion of the project to be open to the public by June of next year.

Carson said the National Park Service could also underwrite proj-ects for signage and special events such as the educational program held for students earlier on Oct. 5.

“If you’re a kid, a fourth or fifth grader, imagine how much of a dif-ferent learning experience it would be to come out here and walk the path where soldiers walked versus reading about it in a book,” Carson

said.Alan Bowen, president of the

Overmountain Victory Trail As-sociation (OVTA), led 380 Polk County students on an excursion through Alexander’s Ford.

“Our goal is to get kids on the trail and hiking, plus expose them to history,” Bowen said. “As we walk along the trail the student cross paths with our reenactors who relay a portion of the story about these courageous men.”

He said the parents observing the educational programs also see the trail’s significance and that only furthers the preservation effort.

“We had several adult chaper-ones with the kids here earlier to-day that said, ‘You know I’ve lived here my whole life and didn’t even know what I was looking at when I came by here,’” Bowen said.

Two property owners came by interested in having their property certified as part of the trail as well, he said.

“It literally took an act of Con-gress to get this started,” Bowen said. “We’ve got a long way to go but we’ve made a lot of headway.”

The OVTA plans to return with reenactors on Oct. 5, 2012 to give additional educational programs to local students and commu-nity members as they continue their almost four-decade effort to honor the 330-mile trek to King’s Mountain.

The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club (TR&HC) will present the second annual A Day in the Country on Sunday, Oct. 9 at the Green Creek Equestrian Park.

The Green Creek Eques-trian Park, the new home of the TR&HC, is a developing eques-trian facility that is expected to be the site of the popular Block House Steeplechase within the next couple of years.

Last year’s event was a laid back day of classes set on an outside course, harking back to Tryon’s equestrian roots, and this year will be much of the same. The event provides a chance to enjoy a picnic lunch while watching the competi-

tion and get a preview of the new park.

In addition to the open jump-ing classes in the morning, there will also be an open pleasure flat class, sponsored by Lillie Brown, for horses and ponies of any breed, type or discipline. The Ride-a-Buck class, last year’s most entertaining class of the day, will also return.

New to the 2011 event is a hunter pairs class in which a pair of riders, representing a local equestrian organization or community non-profit, will complete a jumping course together. The winning pair will earn $500, donated by Camp Wayfarer, for their group.

Mary Jo PittmanMary Jo Pittman, 77, of Green

Creek passed into the Lord’s arms on Oct. 6, 2011 following an extended illness.

The beloved wife of Charles E. Pittman, Mary Jo was a daugh-ter of the late Ralph and Iris Edwards. A resident of Green Creek since child-hood, she was a gradu-ate of Green Creek High School and the Ruther-ford Hospi-tal School of Nursing.

Her career as a registered nurse was one which she cher-ished and which suited her gener-ous and loving heart. She served as the director of nursing at St. Luke’s Hospital following many years there as the in-service training director. Later, she be-came the first resident nurse at Tryon Estates. Mary Jo played vital roles in the development of the first nursing program at Isothermal Community Col-lege, as well as the start up of the first ambulance and EMT services provided by St Luke’s Hospital. Many local health care professionals recall how she en-couraged them to continue their education and career paths as caregivers.

A lifelong member of Hickory Grove Baptist Church, Mary Jo enjoyed her church family as she shared her talents as a Sunday school teacher, choir member and participant in the joyful women’s mission group. Always with a kind word encouraging others to persevere with charac-ter, she stressed to all her love and dependence on her Lord Jesus Christ. Psalm 19:14 reads “Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.”

Obituaries Mary Jo is survived by a family who loved and respected her immensely: her husband of 56 years, Charles E. Pitt-man; her son, David Pittman (Donna) and her daughters, Shay Hahn (Ronnie) and Tami Frazier (Mike). Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren will miss Gran-Gran greatly; they include Marche Pittman (Jennifer), Noah Frazier, Graham Frazier, Jacob Pittman and Celia Pittman. She is also survived by her faithful and adored sister, Evelyn Gee, and her loving brothers, John Edwards and Glenn Edwards. Many special in-laws, cousins, nieces and nephews loved, and were loved by “Aunt Jo.” She was preceded in death by her parents as well as two broth-ers, Charles “Fay” Edwards and Wallace Edwards. Mary Jo was also blessed with many cherished friends, three of which were lifelong and continued to shower her with love throughout her illness; thank you, Marlene Fisher, Gayle Hembree and Reba Hodge.

The family would like to thank the many special caregivers at Benson Hall and White Oak Manor for the kind and respect-ful care they gave to one of their own, a nurse who loved them all.

The family will receive friends from 1:30-2:45 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, 2011 at Hickory Grove Baptist Church. Funeral services will follow at 3 p.m. Sat-urday at the church, conducted by Dr. Michael Keel and Rev. Gary Lockee. Burial will be in the church cemetery.

In honor of Mary Jo’s very generous and compassionate nature during her life, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, memorial contributions be made to Samaritan’s Purse, P.O. Box 3000, Boone, N.C. 28607 or to Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, 322 Eighth Ave, 7th floor, New York, N.Y. 10001.

AFS welcomes exchange students to Polk County

AFS students enjoy an afternoon at the pool. Pictured (left to right): Keaton, returnee from Switzerland; Hongkai, China; Max, Germany (Rotary sponsored); Antoine, Switzerland; Caroline, Brazil; Maren, Norway; Sirapatsorng, Thailand (hosted in Asheville). (photo submitted by Brenda Brock)

On Sunday, Sept.11, more than 40 American Field Service (AFS) volunteers, host families and students gathered at Cotton Patch Farm, home of Mark and Faith Jorgenson, for a party to welcome this year’s AFS students.

For the 2011 - 2012 school year, four Polk County families have opened their homes to a foreign exchange student through the AFS program. This year’s students are from Norway, Brazil, China and Switzerland.

Since 1978, the Polk County Chapter of AFS has facilitated the hosting of more than 130 foreign students. These students have joined the community to live, study in local schools and become immersed in a new and different culture.

Polk County AFS has also sponsored more than 95 local high school students to study abroad. This year, Anders Kra-rup is studying in New Zealand and Korey Smith is studying

in Panama. Both students’ trips were partially funded by a grant from the Polk County Commu-nity Foundation.

AFS is managed by vol-unteers who have first-hand experience with the student exchange process. Volunteers provide foreign students, local students studying abroad and their families with step-by-step help and advice.

Polk County AFS makes ev-ery effort to provide financial

help to hosting families and scholarships to local students who study abroad through an AFS program.

If you would like to become involved in AFS Polk County, please contact Henrik or Lone Krarup at 828-863-4020.

AFS Polk County operates under the umbrella of AFS-USA, a 501 (c) (3) organization. Contri-butions are tax deductible.

N.C. wine industry grows nearly 60 percent in 2005-09The economic impact of North

Carolina’s wine industry grew by nearly 60 percent and the number of wineries doubled between 2005 and 2009, according to a study recently completed by the N.C. Commerce Department.

The state estimates the wine industry had an overall impact of $1.28 billion on the state’s econ-omy in 2009, up 58 percent from four years earlier. According to the survey, the industry added 1,900 jobs over the four-year period, sup-porting 7,600 jobs total as of 2009.

The state said much of the increase can be attributed to more tourists visiting North Carolina’s 106 wineries, spread out over 49 counties. Nearly half of the jobs in the state’s wine and grape industry in 2009 were supported by tourism.

“This growing industry is a significant economic engine for North Carolina, helping to preserve farmland and bring revenue to our

rural communities,” said N.C. Governor Bev Perdue.

North Carolina’s wine industry has rapidly emerged as one of the largest in the country, ranking ninth in the United States in 2009. The number of wineries in North Caro-lina has grown five-fold in the last decade.

***Facebook is quickly moving

ahead with plans for a second data center in Rutherford County. Less than a year after the company broke ground on its first data center in the county, Facebook announced this week it plans to immediately begin construction on a second data

ated about 1,500 construction jobs, and work on the second building is expected to demand the same level of construction employment for at least another year.

The first data center currently employs about 30 people, and the expansion is expected to result in about 10 more perma-

nent technology jobs. “We believe the expanding

operations and continued construc-tion activities will have a positive impact on Rutherford County’s economy,” said Facebook Data Center Manager George Henry.

***Nearly 30 percent of children

in Western North Carolina are

struggling with hunger, according to a study released recently by MANNA FoodBank and Feeding America, the nation’s largest hun-ger relief organization.

The study, entitled “Map the Meal Gap: Child Food Insecurity 2011,” found that 29.9 percent of children under the age of 18 in Western North Carolina are “food insecure.”

North Carolina ranks 11th in the nation with a child food insecurity rate of 27.3 percent, and Buncombe County nearly matches that aver-age at 27.5 percent. Nearby coun-ties have even higher rates, such as Graham County at 39 percent and McDowell at 35 percent, according to the study.

“It should shock every single person in this community that we could let this happen here,” said Renae Brame, executive director

Are you 100% sure if you died today that you would go to Heaven?

You can be sure! How to Find New Life in ChristThis is what the Bible tells us:

By nature, your heart runs from God and rebels against Him. The Bible calls this "sin." Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Yet God loves you and wants to save you from your sins. To give you this gift of salvation, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

You receive this gift by faith alone. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?1. Admit your need (I am a sinner).2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent).3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for You on the cross and rose from the grave.4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life through the Holy Spirit (Receive Him as Lord and Savior).

If you are choosing right now to receive new life through Jesus Christ, pray this prayer.

Dear Lord Jesus,I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgive-

ness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus Name, Amen

This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should:1. Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better.2. Talk to God in prayer every day.3. Tell others about your commitment to Christ.4. Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a Bible-teaching church.

If you have trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you to grow spiritually. If you have questions please call:

of the Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry, a partner with MANNA. “Unless it’s happening right in people’s backyards, they just don’t see it. We all have to see it, and it has to be everybody’s responsibil-ity to take a stand.”

MANNA Executive Director Cindy Threlkeld said the figures reinforce the stories they hear on a daily basis about children who are “food insecure,” or don’t know when their next meal is coming because of poverty or other issues.

Threlkeld said people can con-tribute time, money or food to help MANNA and its partner agencies pro-vide more help “so that one in four children in WNC won’t have to struggle with food insecurity.”

***The south was the only region

of the county to show increases in both the poverty rate and the number of people in poverty in 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

The poverty rate in the south climbed to 16.9 percent in 2010, up from 15.7 percent in 2009. The number of people living in poverty in the south rose to 19.1 million in 2010, up from 17.6 million in the prior year.

The census bureau reports that median household income declined in the south from $46,368 in 2009 to $45,492 in 2010.

Despite the 1.9-percent decline in the region, median household income was up slightly in South Carolina during the same period, rising 1.5 percent to $41,709. It was the first increase in median household income in South Caro-lina since 2007, the year before the recession began.

The census bureau also released figures showing that Spartanburg had one of the lowest median household incomes in the state. The bureau reported that Spartanburg households had a median income

of $34,000 between 2005 and 2009, trailing Greenville at $38,209 and Mauldin at $56,347.

The south was not the leading region for declines in income and earnings in 2010. According to the census bureau, the midwest saw the biggest decline at 8.4 percent, followed by the west at 6.7 percent, the south at 6.3 percent and the northeast at 3.1 percent.

***A new program aimed at giving

more state government contracts to North Carolina businesses is work-ing, according to N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue. Her office said the state

has awarded 28 price-match con t rac t s to Nor th Caro-lina businesses s ince Apr i l ,

keeping $10.7 million in tax dol-lars in the state.

The N.C. Business Preference program allows North Carolina-based businesses to match a low bid submitted by a non-North Carolina business. The original bid from the North Carolina business must have been within 5 percent or $10,000 of the lowest bid.

The governor’s office gives the example of R.W. Moore Equipment Company in Wake County, which matched a low bid of $2.4 million for motor graders after its original bid was within 5 percent of a Vir-ginia company’s bid.

“I strongly encourage North Carolina businesses to take ad-vantage of this opportunity,” said Gov. Perdue, who created the price-matching program to help grow jobs in the state. “For just 5 percent of the bid, you may be able to beat an out-of-state com-pany. That’s good news for you, for your employees, and for the state – where we want to keep North Carolinians in good jobs today and in the future.”

The list of 21 North Carolina companies that have benefited from the program so far includes North Carolina LLC of Asheville, which was awarded a $41,117 contract

***North Carolina’s State Health

Plan overpaid by as much as $49 million over the past three years, according to a report issued recently by the state’s auditors.

The report said Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina, which administers the health plan for the state, tagged only 1 percent of health care payments as overpay-ments. However, state auditor Beth Wood said studies show that 3 to 10 percent were overpayments, result-ing from either mistakes or fraud.

Specifically, Wood found the health plan overpaid N.C. Baptist Hospital by $1.34 million.

The state health plan, which provides coverage for 660,000 state workers, teachers, retirees and dependents, has lost money for years. The General Assembly and Governor Bev Perdue reached a compromise th is year on health care re-forms, which include making workers pay for their own coverage for the first time. State auditors also have rec-ommended the use of software that will catch potential overpayments and provide more oversight of the state’s contract with Blue Cross Blue Shield.

Pavillon dedicates new admissions center for addiction treatment Facility named Holl Center to honor two Polk residents

In a dedication ceremony this week, Pavillon Treatment Center named its new admissions building in honor of Polk County residents Dale and Patty Holl.

With dignitaries, colleagues, staff and friends in attendance, the 6,500-square-foot building was officially named the Holl Center in recognition of the Holls’ long-time involvement with Pavillon.

“The factors that contribute to the achievements of an organiza-tion like ours aren’t adequately portrayed in headlines or even through remarkable milestones like this,” said Anne Vance, CEO for Pavillon. “These achieve-ments are the result of determi-nation and involvement from people such as yourselves who have been committed to the work

of Pavillon over the long haul.”From its earliest beginnings

in Canada to its eventual move to North Carolina in 1996, Pavil-lon has been the recipient of the Holls’ time, talents, professional skills, creativity and generosity, Vance said.

The new facility will handle patient admissions, intake coun-seling, family intervention and administrative support. Previ-ously all of those functions were handled in Pavillon’s existing building, alongside the patients’ residential section.

Completion of the center now clears the way for renovations to the existing building for a new medical detoxification unit and updated clinical treatment areas.

“An ever-increasing patient census, along with corresponding growth in staff, had resulted in some serious overcrowding and a growing concern for patient and family privacy,” said Tom Cov-ington, chairman of the board.

Fire safety tips from Glassy Mountain Fire Department Fire prevention week open house to be held Oct. 15

On average, seven people die in home fires every day. In 2009, U.S. fire departments responded to 362,500 home structure fires caus-ing 12,650 civilian injuries, 2,565 civilian deaths and $7.6 billion in direct damage.

“Nearly all of these deaths could have been prevented by tak-ing a few simple precautions like having working smoke alarms and a home fire escape plan, keeping things that can burn away from the stove and always turning off space heaters before going to bed,” says Bryan G. Riebe, chief of Glassy Mountain Fire Department (GMFD). “Fire is a dangerous op-ponent, but by anticipating the haz-ards, you are much less likely to be one of the nearly 13,000 people injured in home fires each year.”

GMFD offers the following tips to protect your family from fire:

• Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

• Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from heat-ing equipment, like the furnace, fireplace, wood stove or portable space heater.

• Have a three-foot “kid-free zone” around open fires and space heaters.

• Replace or repair damaged or loose electrical cords.

• If you smoke, smoke outside. Use deep, wide ashtrays on a sturdy table.

“While preventing home fires is always our number one prior-ity, it is not always possible,” Riebe said. “Our residents need to provide the best protection to keep their homes and families safe in the event of a fire. This can be

achieved by developing an escape plan which you practice regularly and equipping homes with life-saving technologies like smoke alarms, fire detectors and home fire sprinklers.”

The following tips will help keep families safe in case of a fire:

• Install smoke alarms inside each bedroom, outside each sleep-ing area and on every level of the home (including the basement).

• Interconnect all smoke alarms in the home so when one sounds, they all sound.

• Test smoke alarms at least monthly and replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old, or sooner if they do not respond when tested.

• Make sure everyone in your home knows how to respond if the smoke alarm sounds.

• Pull together everyone in the household and make a plan. Walk through your home and inspect all possible ways out.

Households with children should consider drawing a floor plan of your home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors.

• If you are building or remod-eling your home, consider install-ing home fire sprinklers.

Glassy Mountain Fire Depart-ment will host an open house at 2011 Hwy. 11, Landrum, on Satur-day, Oct. 15 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for fire prevention week.

All are invited to participate in the educational, family-oriented activities, including the Scotty Fire Safety House, a hands-on learning tool to teach people of all ages what to do in the event of a fire.

In addition, CVS will hold a flu shot clinic from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the fire station.

“Goodnight Irene” was the headline just after Hurricane Irene tore through the east coast, reaping havoc wherever she went. Seeing those words “Goodnight Irene’ brought back so many thoughts and memories that had nothing to do with the hurricane, yet had everything to do with the hurricane. I’ll try to explain.

“Goodnight Irene” was my father’s favorite song, and my fa-ther was a binge alcoholic. When he was on a drinking binge, he’d sing that song and want to dance with my mother, or me. Remem-bering him singing the song is a bittersweet memory. He sang it when he was happy, and he was happiest when he was drunk. As a teenager my father’s drinking habit was embarrassing at best, and I tried to distance myself from him in any way that I could.

But there’s a problem with that. I’m very much like my father. Al-though my mother was the steady

Goodnight Irene: Father’s favorite songpersonality that held our family together, my creativity and sense of purpose comes directly from my father.

Daddy was an idealist, a gen-erous person who genuinely believed that all people can work hard and ‘get ahead’, regard-less of color or social standing. He was smart, dependable and worked hard. The problem was that alcohol was his release when he got depressed and frustrated because life is not fair, and the hardest workers do not always get promoted, and it mat-ters more whom you know than who you are. Most of the time the biggest liar gets the best job along with respect from society that goes with that high paying job. Alcohol was Daddy’s fatal escape.

Anyone who loves our natural world longs for an escape from reality at times too. Those who

suck the life out of our planet seem to be making the most profit, and calling the shots.

Our politicians are all about job creation, regardless of what that job costs the environment. It’s all about the economy and money,

with no mention of quality of life. Have you ever thought about the fact that the most

profitable businesses today are those who are selling our natural resourses that were put on this earth for free?

The trees, oil, coal and natural gas were put on this earth for free, gifts from our creator; companies are simply paying themselves for extracting those gifts and selling them to us, at a huge profit. Real-estate investors make big profits cutting up and re-selling land. It’s all about getting as much as they can, with as little real work as possible, selling what was

originally a gift.And then there are the folks

who buy a lot beside the river and clear down to the edge of the water, setting in motion an erosion problem that will have negative consequences for fish and people for years to come. These people, and the ‘big guys’ mean no harm; they simply don’t care about the bigger picture. They are thinking about themselves: the environ-ment is not on their spread sheet, so to speak.

My entire adult life has been dedicated to conserving as much of our small little part of the world as possible, while the ‘big boys’ are out there making as much profit as possible with little regard for the environment or future life.

I am glad to not have my fa-ther’s addictive personality, so I can find comfort in nature rather

Polk JV Soccer player No. 9 Isaac Palmer trails down a Madison forward in an attempt to prevent a shot on goal. Polk beat Madison in a 3-0 victory.

by Samantha Hurst

With a hearty chant before their game against Madison Wednesday, Oct. 5, Polk’s varsity soccer team set their minds on getting on top in the game early.

No. 4 Jordan Brown made sure that happened when he nailed one into the net for the Wolverine’s first point on board of the evening.

After several calls on the Wolverines for running offsides, including one that canceled out a goal, the team went into halftime up 1-0.

In the second half they sought further redemption from a prior losing streak with a goal each for No. 2 David Abril and No. 3 Lee

Polk looks for comeback in conference

Arrington. Polk gave up its only goal on the evening with just 8:36 left on the clock.

“We just needed to get some confidence back,” said Coach Lennox Charles. “We’ve had three defeating losses back to back and that brought the team’s moral down. I’m hoping with this win tonight and hopefully an-other success tomorrow against RS we can charge forward in the second half of the season.”

Charles said in the games against Owen (1-0), Henderson (4-1) and Thomas Jefferson (5-1) the Wolverines allowed their op-ponents to score within the first five to six minutes of the game.

“We’ve really inflicted some pain on ourselves,” he said. “With the better teams in the conference, if you give them anything they’ll run away with a game. We can’t afford anymore setbacks if we are going to stay in things.”

Polk faced RS Central Thurs-

day night but results were un-available at press time. They face Mountain Heritage Monday, Oct. 10 and Mitchell next Wednesday, Oct. 12.

Charles hopes to see his team come back with more gusto and move its standings up in confer-ence play.

The Landrum offense has gotten a lot of attention this sea-son. The Cardinals are scoring a little over 30 points per game, but it isn’t just the offense that has this team off to a 5-1 start.

The defense has shined the season for the Cardinals.

The big boys on the defensive lined, led by Austin Howell and Nic Logan, have clogged up the middle of the field on runs. Linebacker Ryan Herbst has been a tackle machine. Brandon Cannon, T.J. Fincher and Aaron Bryant have been the ball hawks in the secondary.

While the offense is feasting,

With last week’s bitter home loss to the Mitchell Mountain-eers firmly in the rear view mirror, the Polk County Wolver-ines, now locked in a three-way tie for second place in the West-ern Highlands Conference, have turned their focus to this week’s road trip to Avery County.

According to head coach Bruce Ollis, the vibe at the Little Big House has been all good.

“Practices have been upbeat and positive,” said Ollis. “You can learn valuable lessons in defeat – trust that has been the case this week.”

In sharp contrast to the ground-based offenses the Wol-verines have faced the past two weeks, the Vikings present an entirely different defensive challenge for Polk County.

“Avery is a more pass ori-ented team,” said Ollis. “Their quarterback, Alex Villanueva, was the preseason selection as Player of the Year in the confer-

the defense is beasting, hold-ing opponents to just shy of 16 points per game. The Cardinals have sacked opposing quarter-backs nine times. Joey Thomas

is leading the way wi th 29 solo tackles and Herbst is right behind him with 28. Herbst leads the team with 57 total tack-les, including a team-high eight

ence.”Indeed, Villanueva has lived

up to that billing, leading the conference with over 210 yards per game passing.

Avery’s air-based offensive attack is certain to put Polk’s secondary to the test.

“Our pass defense must im-prove,” said Ollis. “Most of our problems in the secondary have been related to not break-ing on the ball, not being out of position.”

Compounding the challenge for the Wolverines this week are injuries to key players. Cary Littlejohn, who was in-jured during the final minute of last week’s game, is listed as questionable, and defensive back Deion Twitty, the team leader in interceptions, is out for the season after suffering a knee injury last Friday that will require surgery.

“This has been a week where we have told our players that it is not about Avery but about us – we have asked them to rise to

the challenge of overcoming a conference loss.”

Ollis is quick to point out that, despite last week’s setback, the goals laid out for the team at the beginning of the season – winning the WHC and vying for a state title – are still attainable.

“We find ourselves in the exact same position we were a year ago,” said Ollis. “We control our own destiny and we must take ownership in that fact.”

The action kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Avery County High School in Newland.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. on Oct. 9 at 10:30 a.m. The speaker will be Rev. Jean Rowe who will speak on the topic “Time and Time Again.”

“There are all kinds of time: quality time, quiet time, eternal time, kairos, slow time, fast time. We all have the same amount of time in a day, a month, a year, but

how we use it can be amazingly different. Then there’s the wasting of time. Who or what wastes your time? Or is time ever really wast-ed? Let us reflect on the times of our lives,” stated Rev. Jean Rowe.

Come early for fellowship and refreshments. For more informa-tion, call 828-894-5776 or visit www.uutryonnc.org.

Federal Estate Taxes

Q. My estate is almost totally family land. Is there any way to arrange installment payments of federal estate taxes? Yes. If a substantial part of the

estate is in a farm or a closely

held business, your estate may

not have enough funds to pay

the taxes. The IRS allows an

exception to the 9-month rule

for such estates. If the decedent

is a U.S. citizens and the value

of the farm or business is more

than 35% of the decedent’s

adjusted gross estate and the

estate tax return makes such an

election, your estate may defer

payment of the estate tax for

your estate will have to pay

only the interest on the deferred

taxes. However, only the part

of your taxes attributable to

the farm or business can be

paid in installments. The rest is

due 9 months from the date of

death. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

On Friday, Sept. 23 around five in the evening I received a call from my cousin Ted. Ted is the gentleman who found Queenie, the king snake that swal-lowed the wooden egg.

“What’s up cuz?” I asked. Ted explained, Frances’ son John was following a car on Route 11, near 14, when a deer ran across the road and the car struck a dog that was chasing it. “Where’s the dog now, cuz?”

“John brought him to Landrum vet then asked if I’d call you,” he said. “It’s too late for me to do any-thing today,” I said, “I’ll check on him tomorrow after my shift.” Ted went on to explain that it was a yellow Lab mix that was bleeding from its left front leg and shoulder.

“Dear Lord,” I said to myself after our conversation ended, “How am I going to handle this one?”

After my shift at FHS the next day I rushed over to Landrum vet and spoke with Dr. Maiolo who had worked o n t h e d o g . “How’s he doing Tommy?” I asked as he walked me over to the cage. He was definitely a yellow Lab mix and we both agreed perhaps with Shepherd.

“We’ve stitched him up and we have a drain in him because he had blood in his urine. We’ll have to go in if there’s a bladder prob-lem,” Tommy went on, “but other than that, there aren’t any broken bones and he should heal nicely.” “Thanks Tommy,” I said as I gave him a hug, which always seems to embarrass him, that’s why I do it. “Put the work on my bill and I’ll check back on him on Monday.”

I opened his cage and sat in with him, he looked fairly young, perhaps around 3 to 4 years old, but I’ll find out more later, I thought. He had that dazed and confused look in his eyes that always tears me apart but he allowed me to stroke him as I tried to reassure him

What do I do now?

that things would be alright. I gave him my customary kiss as I cleared some gunk from the corner of his eye and as I closed the cage, a name popped into my head. “Let’s call him Ranger,” I said.

Outside I looked up to the h e a v e n s a n d whispered, “It’s me again Lord, I think I’m go-ing to need some help on this one.”

O v e r t h e weekend my cousin Ted can-vassed the area to see if anyone lost a dog, to no avail. John (who found Ranger) promised he would try to raise some money to help with expenses. I was grateful for the thought. I contacted Cowboy (Mike Herman) from animal control on the off chance he heard something. He said he’d let me know if he does.

First thing Monday morning, I went back to check on Ranger and learned there wasn’t any internal bleeding and he was basically good to go home. “There isn’t any home, Tommy, could you all please hold him here as he heals while I figure something out?” I asked. They readily agreed that was best for him and after a brief visit with Ranger I left to handle other affairs. All the fosters and rescues are full and the Humane Society is packed

ranger (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

to the gills, for now all I could do is pray an owner would show up.

A few days later I ran into Ruth Grubb, president of the board at FHS. Over the years the board members have been very patient with me putting up with my she-nanigans but this kind lady tops them all in her compassion for my cause.

“How are things going Len-nie?” she asked. I gave her a run down on all the projects I’m working on and then I ex-plained my Ranger dilemma. “We could take him on here Lennie if you wish,” she said. I smiled and gave her a hug, “We’re packed Ruth and he’s still healing but the Humane So-ciety can help in another way.” “What do you need?” Ruth asked. “I’d like to get him registered as an FHS dog so he’d at least have an anchor and get on the Internet but I’ll keep him at Landrum vet and keep an eye on him,” I said. “Get the paper work here and I’ll see that it’s done,” she said smiling. “You’re the best Ruth.” “So are you,” she replied as she gave me a high five.

Now all I can do is pray that someone will give this poor sweet boy a home. I certainly didn’t give him his name so that he could be “The Lone Ranger.”

Thanks for listening.

“Winter is an etching, spring a watercolor, summer an oil paint-ing and autumn a mosaic of them all.”

- Stanley Horowitz

October has arrived at the door with a sunny chill and breeze, an early visitor. Scarlet and yellow brushstrokes of color appear in fluttering green canvases sur-rounded by azure skies. Fuel trucks ply the back roads again, a dread sign of heating bills ahead!

Around here, I continue to recover from eye surgery and have been thoroughly spoiled by friends’ good cooking and kind-ness: knowing ‘chocolate’ is my middle name, one thoughtful soul brought a box of handmade Van’s chocolates, along with a bottle of Italian wine; that’s the best medicine!

Prisms and halos appear in my vision: the eye surgeon promises with a smile that this too shall pass. Actually, it’s all rather pretty—from my artistic standpoint. Grati-tude seems to be part of daily life these days: just having one more day, to have a roof, to know what truly matters. The little things re-main the most precious. (Including someone else’s cooking.)

The Saluda tailgate market continues through the mellow days of October after a hot summer, Fridays at the city parking lot off Main Street from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Smiles and hugs are in abundance.

Oct. 15 at 10 a.m., the Saluda 130th Birthday Celebration Com-mittee is sponsoring an Antique Car Cruise-In. Antique car clubs will show polished toys in parking areas from Saluda School through downtown Saluda to the Baptist Church. Kicking tires probably not allowed, but admiring will be!

Garden notes: fall leaves are great additions to compost heaps...or start a leaf pile area in a secluded section of the yard. It’s time to do garden clean-up and plant shrubs. Late-season hummingbirds still appreciate feeders—they seem to stay longer every year.

It is now officially confirmed.I am older than dirt.No, I didn’t just have, as

people say, “a big birthday,” just a regular one, although I sup-pose any birthday over 30 or 40 or 50 is a big one. I have, how-ever, lived com-fortably in the land of denial throughout my middle age in that I have yet to buy a pair of reading glasses (didn’t say I didn’t need them, just haven’t bought them) and I’m still the same weight since my college days. Blood pressure and cholesterol are low and I’m grateful each morning that I am able to rise and be in the barn at 6 a.m, mucking stalls and work-ing the first horse by 8:30 with no aches or pains accompanying to interfere with my way of life.

So you can see why I have been successfully fooling my-self thinking with a triumphant air, “Honestly, I feel exactly as I did at 20!”

And then birthday gifts be-gan to trickle in: a new pair of riding breeches (yippee!), riding gloves (keep ‘em coming!), a

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Good fats from bad fats in our dietWith so many folks trying to

get healthier, and in better shape these days, there seems to be a lot of talk about diet and nutrition.

One of the most popular sub-jects that comes up is fats. With this also comes much confusion. I’m going to try and help you with that today.

Three common fats in our diets are polyunsaturated, monoun-saturated, and saturated. poly-u n s a t u r a t e d fats are liquid at room tem-perature, and when refrigerated. They’re the best for you, because they not only help lower blood cholesterol levels they also don’t tend to clog arteries. Sources of these fats are safflower, sunflow-er, and fish oils. In fact, fish oil has to be polyunsaturated or a cold water fish’s blood wouldn’t flow.

Monounsaturated fats are liquid at room temperatures, and semi-solid when refrigerated. They are not as good for you as polyunsaturated fats, but better than saturated fats. Saturated fats are the worst, because they solid at both room and refrigerated temperatures.

Remember, if a fat is solid at both temperatures, it will stay sol-id in your blood stream. These fats come from foods like beef, butter, lamb, cheese, veal and poultry fat. Saturated fat is the main dietary cause of high blood cholesterol. Even though saturated fats are bad for you, there is one fat even worse...trans fats.

Trans fats can be natural or man made. Small amounts occur naturally in beef, and in dairy foods. Man made trans fats occur when hydrogen gas reacts with oils. These are called hydroge-nated oils. When hydrogen and pressure are added to oils, the result is a stiffer fat, much like canned shortening.

These “stiff” fats can, over time, clog the arteries that feed your heart and brain, leading to a heart attack or stroke. Trans fats can be found in fast foods, cookies, potato chips, margarine,

crackers and microwave popcorn.The reason manufacturers use

hydrogenated oils, is that they are inexpensive to manufacture, and they give food a much longer shelf life.

Another negative affect of trans fats is that not only do they raise total blood cholesterol levels, they also deplete HDL (good) cholesterol levels, which

help protect against heart disease. In fact, according to a comprehensive

Nurse’s Health Study, the larg-est investigation of women and chronic disease, found that trans fats doubled the risk of heart dis-ease in women.

My advice is to be a smart shopper. Read the nutrition facts panel on the foods you buy. It will list the amounts, and types of fat.

Try to limit saturated fats in your diet.

Use oils like safflower, sun-flower, and olive oils. Also, add more fruits, vegetables, chicken and beans to your diet.

Remember, commercial oils and shortenings are made by hydrogenation, and contain satu-rated and trans fats. For this rea-son I suggest you limit the times you eat out, especially at fast food restaurants.

I recommend you cook more of your meals. This way you can better control what goes into your dishes. Using these tips will help you clean that diet up.

Thanks to the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF), the Town of Tryon, Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) and tradesman Rick Dunn, Greene Corner Park’s gazebo is being repaired, scraped and painted, all through donations. The park is owned by the Town of Tryon but maintained by TFAC with funds provided for the maintenance through the Kirby Endowment Fund at the PCCF. “Greene” was Katherine Kirby’s mother’s maiden name, and it is through the Kirby’s that the lot was purchased and a park formed in 1985. Greene Corner is available for event rentals through TFAC. (photo submitted by Beth Child)

Dear Savvy Senior,I’ve read that there is a new

extra-strength flu vaccine being of-fered to seniors this year. What can you tell me about it, where can I find it, and does Medicare cover it?

Flu-Conscious Connie

Dear Connie,The new extra-strength flu vac-

cination you’re inquiring about is called the Fluzone High-Dose, and it’s designed specifically for seniors, age 65 years and older. Here’s what you should know.

Fluzone High-Dose

Manufactured by Sanofi Pas-teur Inc., the Fluzone High-Dose vaccine was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in Dec. 2009, and was first made available last flu season on a lim-ited basis.

The main difference between the Fluzone High-Dose and a regular flu shot is its potency. The high-dose vaccine contain four times the amount of antigen (the part of the vaccine that prompts the body to make antibody) as a regular flu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection.

This extra protection is particu-larly helpful to seniors who have weaker immune defenses and have a great risk of developing danger-ous flu complications. The CDC estimates that the flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills around 24,000

– 95 percent of whom are seniors.As with all flu vaccines, Flu-

zone High-Dose is not recom-mended for seniors who are aller-gic to chicken eggs, or those who have had a severe reaction to a flu vaccine in the past.

To locate a vaccination site that offers the Fluzone High-Dose, ask your doctor or pharmacist, or check the online flu-shot locator at flu.gov for clinics or stores offering flu shots.

Then, contact some in your area to see whether they have the High-Dose vaccine. CVS, Wal-greens, Safeway, Kmart, Rite Aid and Kroger are among some of the chains offering the high-dose shot.

You’ll also be happy to know that if you’re a Medicare benefi-ciary, Part B will cover 100 percent of the cost of your High-Dose vaccination.

But if you’re not covered the cost is around $50 to $60 – that’s about double of what you’d pay for a regular flu shot.

PneumovaxAnother important vaccination

the CDC recommends to seniors – especially this time of year – is the pneumococcal polysaccharide vac-cine for pneumonia and meningitis (the vaccine is called Pneumovax 23). Pneumonia causes more than 40,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, many of which could be prevented

Is new flu vaccine better for seniors?Savvy Senior by this vaccine.

If you’re over age 65 and haven’t already gotten this one-time-only shot, you should get it now before flu season hits. Pneu-movax 23 is also covered under Medicare Part B, and you can get it on the same day you get your flu shot. If you’re not covered by in-surance, this vaccine costs around $75 to $85 at retail clinics.

This vaccine is also recom-mended to adults under age 65 if they smoke or have certain chronic conditions like asthma, heart dis-ease, lung disease, kidney disease, diabetes, sickle cell disease, have had their spleen removed or have a weakened immune system due to cancer, HIV or an organ transplant.

Savvy tips: In addition to get-ting vaccinated, the CDC reminds everyone that the three best ways to stay healthy during flu season is to wash your hands frequently with soap and water, cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze and stay home if you’re sick.

For more information on the recommended vaccines for older adults see cdc.gov/vaccines.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Nor-man, OK 73070, or visit SavvySe-nior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

This Sunday, Oct. 9 at 4 p.m. The show will feature the fol-

lowing: at 4 p.m. Bradley Ditto, an acoustic singer/songwriter from Tryon and Phil and Gaye play

KingPup radio show concert Oct. 9 at Harmon Field log cabina short set; at 5 p.m. The South Carolina Broadcasters, old time music from the low country; at 6 p.m. Split Rail Bluegrass, blue-grass from the upstate S.C.; and at

7 p.m. Paul’s Creek Band, acoustic Americana from Asheville, N.C. The event is free.

The students of Tuesday School, Tryon’s parent co-operative preschool, recently took their first planned field trip for this school year right outside the school. The preschoolers learned about first responders and emergency vehicles with the Polk County EMS and Tryon Fire Department. The children of Tuesday School toured the ambulance, listened to heartbeats through the paramedic’s stethoscope, learned about gear and equipment on the fire truck and hear the sirens. The students learned that paramedics and firemen have important jobs. Visits with Paramedic Michael Reid, who is also a Tuesday School parent, and Fireman Tommy from the Tryon Fire Department allowed the preschoolers to gain an understanding of emergency situations and the importance of first responders in the community.

Westbow Press a division of Thomas Nelson, the largest Christian publisher, releases an allegory about a teeny, tiny sparrow that takes a spiritual journey and discovers the truth about marriage. It’s a tale of a songless spar-r o w n a m e d Married whose heart is awak-ened to a new hope.

Acco rd ing to the author, Carole Walters, of Cambobello, “If you enjoyed ‘Hind’s Feet on High Places,’ you will love this allegory. ‘True Song’ is a journey reveal-ing the truth of marriage, but it’s also so much more.”

“Everyone who reads it ex-presses to me something differ-ent that it meant to them. It is the song we all share; our struggles, sacrifices and infidelities as we try to discern God’s voice and remain faithful and dependent

on the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the journey we take as Christians to earnestly work out for ourselves, with fear and trembling, God’s will for our lives. My hope is that the

reader would find themselves in the story,” stated Walters.

“The writing holds up a mirror for all of us to gaze into and ac-knowledge our own weaknesses with truth.”

Walters graduated in journal-ism and creative writing from Arizona State University.
