The historic 1906 Tryon Depot received rousing accolades Thursday, Jan. 31 at the annual N.C. Main Street conference in Salisbury.

A highlight of this year’s award ceremony, the Tryon Depot project received the North Carolina Small Town Main Street Award of Merit in Economic Restructuring — the singular award from a submission field of 105 community projects.

Conference attendees and Main Street program administrators alike were highly complimentary of Tryon’s public/private partnership model to accomplish the renova-tion and purpose of the Depot.

Main Street Manager Crys Armbrust accepted the award from N.C. Department of Commerce Deputy Secretary Dale Car-roll on behalf of the Depot project partners: the Town of Tryon, Andy Millard, Brady/Trakas Architects, Mike Karaman Builders, the Tryon Downtown Development Associa-tion, the local NC Small Town Main Street committee and Crys Armbrust, who initially proposed the rehabilitation project.

Chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes and high cholesterol ranked among a litany of issues the 2012 Polk County Community Health As-sessment found challenging the wellness of Polk County residents.

As a joint effort of St. Luke’s

Hospital, Rutherford-McDowell-Polk Health District and Polk Fit, Fresh and Friendly, a community health forum was held Tuesday, Feb. 5 to discuss methods of tack-ling these issues.

“The data and opinions that were compiled and presented during the Community Health Forum provide

a comprehensive snapshot of the overall health of our residents. With that information, we can project future needs for advocacy and com-munity services,” said Ken Shull, chief executive officer for St. Luke’s Hospital. “We have a benchmark, and over the next three years, we will be able to measure a change in the priorities we address.”

Data, for example, showed Polk County fighting a 60.5 percent rate of obesity. Though this number remains below the region, state and national levels, it still accounts for more than half of the population. Much of this might be because less than half of the population reports meeting the physical activ-ity recommendation of 30 minutes of exercise five days a week. In Polk County only 45.7 percent of residents claim to be active at that level, according to the assessment.

Through a district-wide health survey, conducted by phone last year, 200 people in Polk responded to questions related to their health and well-being.

Among adults surveyed, 29.4 percent reported a lack of health care insurance, while 19.8 percent said on some occasions in the last year they had to decide between buying food and paying bills. A total of 37.3 percent reported ex-periencing high blood pressure in Polk, while only 31.5 percent did statewide.

Jimmy Hines, Rutherford-Polk-McDowell district health director, said the assessment is a critical tool to discover what steps need to be taken but now the agencies must work together to find real results.

“We use collective impact by using resources that are shared and working collaboratively with anyone who has interest in trying to create more opportunity for better health in Polk County,” Hines said. “We have got to work on solutions together even though a particular target might not be one organiza-tion’s primary mission.”

For example, tobacco use might not be the immediate concern of Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry but they could provide pamphlets in their lobby that would educate

clients about the costs of smoking tobacco. Another example might be Polk County transportation work-ing to transport residents to weekly farmers markets so they would have access to fresh foods.

Those attending the health forum also considered means of assisting residents in healthier eating, active living, substance abuse prevention and reduction of tobacco use.

“Together we generated numer-ous ideas, concerns and suggestions during the break-out discussions, so we have a good foundation for change,” Shull said.

Attendance at the forum in-cluded representatives from area mental health services, Hospice, the hospital and its board, the health district, Polk schools, Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, the Mill Spring Agricultural Center, Autumn Care, Adawehi, Polk transportation, DSS and the community at large.

“Working collaboratively is nec-essary to help St. Luke’s Hospital, our local health district and other providers determine the best use of our resources in order to make a real difference in the health and well-being of Polk County,” Shull said. “Community input is vital too.”

Hines said the district would now analyze all of the data and pub-lic input to determine a minimum of two priorities to submit to the state by June.

“We identify what our needs are but more importantly we see if we achieve results not just stare at a book on my shelf,” Hines said.

After June, these groups will determine the best ways different community organizations can work together to address the health priori-ties. He said in most cases tackling these problems will mean coming at them from different directions.

“You’ve got to find multiple strategies to suit multiple targets,” Hines said. “You might meet one set of the population better through their church, while another you could reach out to through social media. You can’t lay just one strat-egy down to reach everyone.”

statement by a vote of 4-1 explain-ing their actions.

Commissioner Ray Gasperson said he voted against approving the statement saying he wanted to remain consistent since he also voted against repealing the MRPO without replacing it with a proposed steep slope ordinance.

According to the N.C. Institute of Government, zoning regulations shall be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan and when adopting or rejecting any zoning amendment, the governing board shall also approve a statement describing whether its action is consistent with an adopted plan. The statement should also briefly explain why the board considers the action taken to be reasonable and in the public interest.

Commissioners’ statement said repealing the MRPO is not con-sistent with the county’s 20/20 comprehensive plan, but the board considers the action to be reason-able.

“The board considers the action taken to be reasonable and in the public interest because the building inspector currently has the author-ity to require an engineer report at a site, and having him perform a pre-site assessment visit could pos-sibly save the homeowner and the builder money,” state’s commis-sioners’ statement of inconsistency.

During its Jan. 7 meeting, com-missioners repealed the MRPO and did not approve a steep slopes ordinance that the planning board recommended. Commissioners instead directed the planning board to create new verbiage that directs the building inspector to do a pre-site inspection of a building site in order to determine whether or not an engineer is necessary.

Gasperson said Polk’s 20/20 comprehensive plan was award winning and if the county had adopted the proposed steep slope ordinance it would have been consistent with the plan.

The county’s 20/20 compre-hensive plan has three sections where repealing the MRPO is inconsistent.

Section I-47 of the compre-

hensive plan states that as neces-sary, the county should revise and update the Polk County MRPO.

Section P-47 says that Polk County supports protections of its ridgeline areas as a valuable, aesthetic, natural and economic resource. And section I-52 states that the county should utilize the MRPO to regulate ridge develop-ment.

Commissioners also on Mon-day directed its planning board to table work on Article 25 regard-ing ridgeline protections that the planning board has discussed to be placed in the county’s proposed unified development ordinance. (see article, pg. 8)

Commissioner Tom Pack asked if the county had a steep slope ordinance who would administer that ordinance. Polk County Plan-ner Cathy Ruth said it would be the building inspector.

Pack responded that it is the same administrator, the building inspector who will be doing a pre-site inspection of building sites.

A few residents spoke on the inconsistency statement with all being in favor of the county having steep slope protections in the form of an ordinance.

Carolyn Ashburn asked com-missioners to please reconsider adopting the steep slope ordinance as recommended unanimously by the planning board.

“The beauty of Polk County is too precious to lose to economic development,” Ashburn said.

Lisa Krolak also asked commis-sioners to reconsider. She said the county needs a solid plan in place and the steep slopes ordinance does not affect the use of the property. It merely imposes standards and best management practices, she said.

David Weiss said a steep slope ordinance defines a process and if building inspectors were adequate for that protocol we wouldn’t hear of erosion in North Carolina.

“If that’s what their role was in their job then we wouldn’t see the problems we are seeing,” said Weiss. “Let’s handle it right so we’re not facing more of the same issues that we’ve had.”

Dave Maxwell echoed Weiss

and said the building inspector Polk County has he gives the high-est praises to but he’s not the person who looks at steep slopes. He asked commissioners why they don’t hire someone out of Raleigh who is a real expert at steep slopes.

Christel Walter said commis-

sioners’ statement was to possibly save some money for homeown-ers? She said what residents had to say regarding rescinding the MRPO and replacing it with a steep slopes ordinance did not matter to commissioners.

“The present policy of having nothing in place is short sighted and counter-productive,” Walter said.

by Leah Justice

The Polk County Board of Commissioners tabled work on the ridgeline section of its proposed unified development ordinance (UDO).

Commissioners met on Mon-day, Feb. 4 and after being asked for direction from its planning board regarding Article 25, commission-ers decided by a 4-1 vote to table work on that section.

Commissioner Ray Gasperson voted against tabling work on Article 25.

Commissioner Tom Pack ques-tioned Gasperson’s vote against tabling work asking Gasperson if he didn’t vote to pull that section from the UDO.

Gasperson responded that he did vote to pull the section but only temporarily so the planning board could work on the rest of the UDO first. The planning board has since finished work on the remainder of the UDO and asked commission-ers for direction on work they had planned to do on Article 25.

Commissioners’ decision to table the ridgeline section caused a few residents to speak against their actions.

Lisa Krolak said Polk has one shot at protecting the mountains and ridgelines and everyone knows what the mountains look like in Hendersonville and Asheville.

“I drove to Maggie Valley last week and I just pray and hope Polk County will never look like that,” Krolak said.

David Weiss said Polk County has got to consider the conse-quences if building starts picking up again. He asked if the county was going to be faced with acting

suddenly and having to rush to come up with protections. He said now is the perfect time to consider protections, not to table it. He also mentioned the county’s 20/20 Vi-sion plan survey where most in the county said they want to protect the rural character of the county.

Christel Walter said it took many votes for the county to build the high school and residents will get mountain protections one day, she just hopes it doesn’t take too many times.

Commissioner Gasperson said he couldn’t support tabling Article 25 perhaps because he’s an eternal optimist.

He said he thinks at some point the county is going to see a steep slopes ordinance and an ordinance that is like the draft Article 25. He mentioned spending probably hundreds of hours at UDO meet-ings and planning board meetings regarding these documents and he saw a broad representation from citizens in this county.

“It’s truly a democratic process taking place,” Gasperson said, mentioning there was lots of discus-sion and compromise. “I’m very proud to live in a community where citizens are willing to spend huge amounts of time working on these documents.”

Commissioner Ted Owens clarified that the county is tabling work on the one section of the UDO (relating to ridgelines), not the entire UDO.

The current board has not dis-cussed the proposed UDO. The previous board held a work session last November and left decisions up to the new board, which was sworn in during the December meeting.

Trapping: response communicated from Rep. Chris WhitmireTo the editor:

After I attended the commis-sioners meeting on Feb. 4 where

Letter to the Editor the resolution to allow trapping in Polk County was discussed, it was apparent to me that the commissioners had made up their minds to go forward no matter how many people expressed their opposition.

The commissioners would not even discuss delaying the request to legalize trapping so that people

on both sides of the issue could become better informed. I wrote to Rep. Chris Whitmire. In his re-sponse, which was curt, he stated “an overwhelming number favor this.” My response to Rep. Whit-mire and the Polk commissioners is – “Where is there a vote, a poll, anything to back up this state-ment? If such document(s) exist

I would like to see them.”Rep. Whitmire offered no data

at all to back up his statement. It appears that Mr. Whitmire has made up his mind, regardless of voter input.

Wonder why? I have my ideas.

– Kaye Cannon,Columbus

TrappingTo the editor:

At the commissioners’ meet-ing held on Feb. 4, our wildlife officer Toby Jenkins and two district biologists were pres-ent to support the trapping and killing of furbearers in Polk County.

I have a few questions.1) Why was trapping and

killing the only proposed meth-od of dealing with the problem our county supposedly has?

2) Why would our commis-sioners agree to and vote for this resolution without questioning whether there might be alterna-tives and more effective alterna-tives to boot?

3) Wildlife biologist Mr. Short admitted that coyote breeding is self-regulating and that killing them encourages them to breed more, so why are they proposing that we trap and kill them to reduce the popula-tion?

4) Apparently beavers are ‘nuisance’ animals too. Killing off coyotes removes the bea-ver’s only natural predator in the area. Does this make any sense?

Research and past attempts in many places to control coyotes by trapping and killing them has not worked. Despite decades of coyotes being killed in many areas, their populations remain the same. The more progres-sive communities are looking at newer, more effective, more humane ways of dealing with ‘nuisance’ animals.

In fact, recently a workshop was held in Orange County,

N.C. for animal control person-nel and community members looking for effective ways to deal humanely with their coyote

Letter to the Editor and other ‘nuisance’ wildlife is-sues. I understand the workshop was packed.

Killing is not the only alter-

native. Nor is it the answer in a humane community.

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis presents an award from the Polk County Fire Chief’s Association during a retirement party for Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Tennant.

the position since 1982. He has served as firefighter for 35 years and retired as an educator after 30 years of service. Tennant is currently the chair of the Polk County School Board.

Tennant joined the Colum-bus Fire Department in the mid-1970s. Then, the depart-ment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of fire trucks. Today, the depart-ment has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several associate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“I don’t think you can under-stand how much the people in this room mean to me,” Tennant told those in attendance.

Tennant was lured to Tryon Estates that evening by a fire alarm activation at the retire-ment community in Columbus. The fire alarm call was nothing new to Tennant, but soon after entering the room, Tennant re-alized the setup as he was met with a standing ovation.

“It was the only way we could get him here,” said Co-lumbus Deputy Fire Chief Bobby Arledge. “If we told him we were having a retirement party, he wouldn’t have shown

up. If it’s a fire call, we know he’s coming.”

Arledge will take over the chief position at the beginning of the year.

Tennant was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, along with several other presen-tations from many of the service agencies Tennant has worked closely with over the years. Those in attendance included all Polk County emergency service and law enforcement agencies, mutual aid fire depart-ments and Regional One.

“The opportunity to work with him in so many roles has been incredible,” said Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “He has been a colleague, my fire chief and most importantly, my friend.”

Davis served as the Polk County Fire Marshal and later as deputy chief at the Columbus Fire Department before taking the Tryon fire chief position.

Tennant expressed surprise when presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, which has also been awarded to Bob Timberlake, Charles Kuralt and fellow University of North Carolina Alumnus, Mi-chael Jordan. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven

I wouldn’t say it’s a quiet life I seek. More like a ‘quiet-ish’ life.

You see, I’m the sort of person who claims to look forward to a rainy day, declaring it’s nice just to keep the horses in their stalls and have a day off from training and get caught up on all the overdue chores in the house.

Well, that’s what I claim. It’s actually a ‘porky pie,’ which, as my mother will tell you, is cockney rhyming slang for “lie.”

Because no matter how honor-able my intentions, I will be half way through a load of laundry and, rather like an unsupervised, bored child, be-come quite cer-tain there must be something more entertaining to do, elsewhere. This could manifest itself in the form of making a cup of hot chocolate, straightening the Christmas wreath on the front door or picking up my battered (and bor-rowed from my elementary school library), beloved, copy of ‘National Velvet’ to reread for the 27th time. Feeling slightly wicked, I chose both hot chocolate and Velvet. It didn’t occur to me that any further distraction I sought might actually seek me.

With the comforting knowledge that Paul would be in Henderson-ville until after lunch and unable to catch me wallowing in idleness, I donned my sweats and sprawled on the sofa, dogs draping over various extremities, cracked open Velvet to let it fall to any page and read,

‘His hoofs came down sweetly on violets, grass and knitted thyme, clanking on a flint, breaking the crisp edge of a wheel rut. He took in everything, behind, before, and from the body astride him. Below, the chimneys were smoking up like poplars and a light was lit in the cobbler’s shop.’

I was glad I had forgotten to re-turn (better known as stealing) the book from the library, I decided, flipping through its worn pages. It was far too elegantly written to have been wasted on some unappreciative, nose-picking fifth

Little grey creature spoils quiet timegrader. Hardly a child’s book at all, I mused, much too sophisticated in style. In fact...

Thump.With a start, I looked in the

direction of the unlit fireplace from where the sound came. This strange noise had not roused me from my supine state but the small grey form that rose on its haunches and boxed the fire screen with its paws so that the screen toppled over. Before I could pitch the ter-riers to the floor and leap to my feet, the young squirrel streaked beneath the Christmas tree and fled

down the hall, hotly pursued by three of our five cats who had, only mo-ments before, been content to

lounge along the back of the love seat, forearms splayed on either side of the scarlet cushions, like Cheetahs sleeping in trees.

I heard the creature’s fate before I saw it: Paul’s particular favorite, Duke, had seized the shrieking squirrel with his teeth and was carrying it, draped from his mouth, back up the hall into the kitchen.

“Duke!” I commanded, mov-ing in to cut him off. “Let him go. Duke!”

Duke was having none of it and I could see the wild, panicked look of terror and pain in the squirrel’s eyes and as it kicked with its back legs I could at least determine that the cat hadn’t bitten through its spine. Duke stopped for an instant at the front door, long enough for me to snatch him up but his grip was fast and having a peanut gallery of murderous onlookers yowling at my feet, I took cat and squirrel out the door and sat on the front step of the deck, in a down-pour, with Duke, writhing, in my lap while I stuck both of my index fingers, hard, into the sides of his jaw until he was obliged to finally open his mouth and drop his prey. The squirrel had been punctured deeply, but he dashed away at great speed and I can only hope

he survived and healed without too much distress.

When Paul returned home he was somewhat peeved to discover I’d made no effort to remove his favorite pullover from the dryer before it became deeply creased.

“It can’t be because you’ve been busy,” he said accusingly. “The house looks the same as it did when I left.”

“I’ll have you know I’ve indeed been busy,” I countered. “I’ve been

he muttered, grabbing his pullover and ascending the stairs.

Halfway up, he stopped, turned, looked over the railing and added, “But before I go into the bathroom, are there any rats or squirrels in there? Because I might just snap.”

“Nope,” I said cheerfully. “Just dirty towels on the floor.”

I never did get around to finish-ing the laundry.

Now that the Super Bowl’s over, it’s time for me to slip back into my post-football depression for about seven months, until the new season begins.

Folks who aren’t sports afi-cionados might not realize it’s difficult for most of us to watch a sporting event whilst munching exclusively on foods like bean sprouts and radishes. Today I’m going to explain how to make those occasions’ junk food more healthful.

First , let’s realize what makes junk foods so appeal-ing. It tastes so good, mainly because it usually contains large amounts of sugar, salt and fat. There are ways to enjoy these items without totally giving up your diet.

Here are a few…1. Hamburgers: To make

hamburgers more healthful, start with very lean, fresh

ground beef. Use whole grain buns, and load up on vegetable toppings like tomatoes, onion, dark lettuce and pickles, but don’t stop there. Be creative when you build your burg-ers. Other delicious, toppings could include mushrooms, avocado, watercress, horse-radish, sprouts, grilled pep-pers, pimento, cucumber and re l i sh . Also use reduced fat cheese, and low fat mayo.

2. French fries: Cut potatoes into wedges, leaving the skins on, brush with olive oil, then bake. You can also prepare parsnips the same way. Baked parsnips are delicious. Sweet potatoes are great too.

3. Pizza: Start with whole grain thin crust. Use non-stick trays to save on calories and load your pizza with veggies. Reduce fat further by cutting

back on or using low fat cheese. 4. Chicken wings: Shallow

fry instead of deep frying, using healthy olive or sunflower oil. You can also oven “fry” first by coating chicken with corn meal, flour and spices, then baking.

5. Nachos: You can make tasty, healthful nachos by blend-ing fresh tomatoes, chilies, gar-

lic, onions and peppers. Pour over reduced fat chips, then

sprinkle with low fat cheese. 6. Popcorn: Air pop, instead

of using oil. To cut back on calories from butter, season with pepper, onion powder, gar-lic powder, cinnamon and even lime juice. By the way, did you know, popcorn has higher levels on antioxidants than many fruits and vegetables?

Here are other tips to im-prove the healthfulness of junk foods. Make fast foods at home,

that way you can control in-gredients. Drink a full glass of water before eating. This will make you feel fuller, so you’ll eat less, and make sure you’re taking a good vitamin/mineral supplement, because without certain nutrients, you can’t metabolize or use carbohydrates and fats.

Finally, if you are going to have fast or junk food, plan to do it. What I mean is many folks try to eat healthy while not be-ing able to get bad foods out of their mind. Then many consume vast amounts of these unhealthy foods, a little at a time. By the end of the weekend, they’ve eaten huge amounts of junk food, and now feel guilty and defeated. If you “plan” to in-dulge just a certain amount, you’ll not only get the physical satisfaction, but the emotional

To audition, students will need to perform a one-minute monologue, which they may bring with them or choose from our selections once they arrive. Memorization is encouraged but not required.

Students who audition for the

show should understand that, if cast, they would be expected to miss school on Wednesday, April 17, and Thursday, April 18, for school time performances. Pub-lic performances will take place

at 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday, April 19, and 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 20.

To help stu-dents prepare for the audi-tions, the Spar-tanburg Youth

Theatre is offering an optional audition workshop on Saturday, Feb. 9, from 9 a.m.-noon in the Youth Theatre classroom at the Chapman Cultural Center. Stu-dents who take this workshop will come away with audition tips and a rehearsed monologue. They will also have the oppor-tunity to work with the Snow White script and director.

There is a small cost for the workshop. Call 864-585-8278 to save a spot.

Spartanburg Science Center will offer free workshops to local elementary school teachers to help promote science in the classroom.

On Friday, Feb. 15, the Sci-ence Center will host 30 kinder-garten through second grade teachers 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 30 third through fifth grade teachers 1-4 p.m. at the Chapman Cultural Center. The teachers from Spartanburg and Union County will receive recer-tification credit. The program is funded by a grant from R.R. Don-nelley Corp to promote Science Literacy in the classroom.

The sessions will provide teach-ers with materials and trade books that can grab a student’s attention and at the same time teach key science concepts. Each teacher will

leave the workshop with all of the materials needed to implement this program in their classroom. This

is not designed to replace sci-ence textbooks or be the only way that science is taught. It is a tool that can be added to the teacher’s reper-toire for teach-ing science and

meshing it with other core subjects. These sessions correlate with

the South Carolina Science Stan-dards and the Foss or Delta Science Kits that are currently being used in each district. These labs will be performed by trained science teachers, assisting at Spartanburg Science Center.

For more information, please call 583-2777.

As flu season grips the nation with increased awareness of hand washing and cough cover-ing, healthy eating is a powerful and effective prevention method that is often overlooked.

“It’s important to eat a va-riety of healthy foods from all food groups throughout the year, but it’s even more sig-nificant during flu season,” said Nancy Chapman, registered dietitian at St. Luke’s Hospi-tal. “Adding flu-fighting foods like yogurt, garlic, citrus and chicken to your diet can boost your body’s immune system and help you to avoid getting sick.”

Yogurt and other cultured milk products contain probiot-ics, beneficial bacteria with im-mune-boosting benefits. Look for the “live active culture” seal, which indicates that probiotics have been added. Also, get your daily dose of vitamin D because early research suggests low lev-

els of vitamin D may be linked to a seasonal increase in colds and flu and a higher incidence of respiratory infections.

Garlic boosts the immune system, increasing resistance to infection and stress. Crush the cloves with the flat side of a knife before adding them to food to release the garlic juice and its immune properties.

Citrus fruits contain vitamin C, and chicken, meat and peanuts contain zinc. Both nutrients play important roles in the proper functioning of the immune system.

“For families already affect-ed by the flu, there are foods that can provide much needed relief from symptoms like popcicles, juices and chicken soup,” said Chapman.

A cold, frozen popsicle can soothe a sore throat and help keep you hydrated, which is important when battling the flu. Getting enough fluids can keep mucus thin and help lessen congestion. The best popsicles

t o s t o c k i n your freezer are those made from 100 per-cent fruit juice to make sure you’re getting vital nutrients and not just

sugar water. When you have the flu, the

last thing you feel like doing is eating or making yourself a meal, but it’s important to eat to give your body the energy to fight off the illness. If making yourself something to eat is out, drink a glass of low-sodium vegetable juice instead. A glass-ful will help you load up on

immune-boosting antioxidants and keep yourself hydrated. If you are craving something sweet, drink a glass of 100 per-cent fruit juice.

“We have all heard to eat chicken soup when you are sick. Well, there is truth in that,” said Chapman.

“Soup is not only nourish-ing and hydrating, there’s also scientific evidence that chicken soup can help with healing and have mild anti-inflammatory effects.”

If you couldn’t get a flu shot this year, definitely rely on fre-quent hand-washing and overall cleanliness to combat the ill-ness. But you can also take a close look at your daily meals and make sure you’re eating a well-balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables, complex carbo-hydrates and low-fat protein.

sporTs Polk wins back to back games, last second shot defeats Averyby Fulton Hampton

Tuesday night started off a great week for Polk Boys basketball. With a season high 30 points in the first quarter and a 48–19 half-time lead the Wolverines defeated conference cellar dwellers Thomas Jefferson 89-47. Jaylin Hines led all scorers with a season high 28 points with 10 coming early in the first quarter. He was joined in dou-ble figures by Saquan Miller with 14 and Anthony Carson with 13.

Polk versus AveryWikipedia defines the term

“buzzer beater” as “a shot taken just before the game clock of a period expires, when the buzzer sounds.” Those in attendance at Polk’s game Wednesday, however need no explanation as Polk’s Ben Stockdale sunk one to defeat Avery 51 -50.

One of the most, hotly con-tested games played at Polk in re-cent memory, the same included a technical foul on the Avery coach, players hurt on hard fouls and a

general “no love lost” atmosphere between the players throughout the game.

The Wolverines held a 38-32 lead going into the fourth quarter on a team that had beaten them by 20 in the previous meeting. You could sense that Avery would make a final run at the Wolverines and they did. However, after Avery uncharacteristically missed four free throws in the final minutes, it all came down to one last play.

No. 23 Ben Stockdale and Jamal Tanner (reaching) combined for the game winner verus Avery. Also shown is No. 13 Saqaun Miller who was the second leading scorer with 15 points and nine rebounds. (photo by Fulton Hampton)

With 7 seconds left Polk was down 49-50 and had to go the length of the court. The coaches drew up a play and it worked. But probably not exactly as planned. Stockdale inbounded the ball to Jamal Tanner who drove the length of the court putting up a shot with 2 seconds on the clock. Stockdale following on the play grabbed the rebound and put up a high shot that touched the top of the backboard and fell through as the buzzer

sounded. Polk County 10; 13; 15; 13

bounds), Stockdale 14 (11 re-bounds), Philpott 7, Carson 7, Hines 5 and Tanner 3 (7 assists).

Polk is 10-12 overall and 6-6 in conference. They play at Owen on Friday. The winner will receive the final 2A playoff spot for the WHC.

Polk had no trouble handling the Gryphons of Thomas Jef-ferson building a 34-7 halftime

lead en route to an eventual lop-sided 66-22 win. Kara Overholt led all scorers with 17 points while Hayley Kropp had 12

points and nine steals for the game. Katie Ruff was the top rebounder with seven.

Polk vs. AveryAfter the easy win over

Thomas Jefferson Tuesday night Polk came to an un-usual Wednesday night contest against Avery (rescheduled due to weather) with a record of 5-6. Thus this was a pivotal game as the schedule winds down. Avery is tied with Mountain Heritage for the conference lead at 10-1, so the Lady Wolverines had their work cut out for them.

Polk County almost scored a major win leading 21-20 at halftime, but Avery started hit-ting its 3-pointers in the second half, going on a 25-14 tear in the final period to win 55-42.

“We played tough the first

half and stayed right with them and then they started pressing us and we made a lot of turn overs,” said PCHS Coach Craig Culbreth. “We usually handle a press pretty well. They (Avery) are such a good 3-point shoot-ing team, you leave them open and they hit them. They had five 3-pointers.”

Polk especially had trouble with Kelsie Clark late in the game.

“We held her to 6 points for the first three quarters and then she had 13 in the fourth,” Culbreth said.

For Polk (11-11, 5-7), Kara Overholt was the only player in double digits with 12 points. Clarke led Avery (17-5, 11-1) with 19 points, 13 of which came in the fourth quarter. Avery’s Lauren Burleson, who hit two 3-pointers in the fourth, finished with 14 points overall.

The Lady Wolverines play at Owen Friday in a game that will have major playoff impli-cations.

“Make a Scene, Why Don’t You?”

Instructor: Mindy Friddle, Novelist

Friddle’s first novel, The Garden Angel was selected for Barnes and Noble’s Discover Great New Writers program. Her second novel, Secret Keep-ers, won the Willie Morris Award for Southern Fiction.

Friddle will discuss how scene and summary work can transform writing. A writer’s

ability to balance scenes with summary and exposition con-trols a story’s pacing, increas-ing tension and suspense.

Participants will come away with a clear understanding of these critical craft elements and how to use them in their own work.

• Tuesday, April 23: Poetry Workshop

Instructor: John Lane, Au-thor and Creative Writing pro-fessor, Wofford College

Lane is the author of more than a dozen books of po-etry and prose, and has re-ceived several grants, awards and fellowships including the 2001 Philip D. Reed Memorial Award for Outstanding Writing on the Southern Environment.

For the past few weeks many personal things have been oc-cupying my time and thoughts. I’ve often explained there are many cases not told. I do this so those who have and continue to contribute to my kids un-derstand their monies do get to help and save lives.

Gidget who w a s a d o p t e d from the humane society has developed a rare degenerative eye disease. She is a Chihuahua mix that is much loved and the medicine to keep her disease in check is fairly expensive. Lennie’s Fund is paying for her medicine and Dr. Maria at Cloverfield is helping by keep-ing her fees to a minimum. The last word I received is that for the time being Gidget’s prob-lem is in remission. I received

It’s always about my kidsa sweet message of thanks from Gidget’s owner and those thanks and blessings extend to all of you.

My sweet Patches, a fe-male pit pup I wrote of a few years ago, had a problem with

her toe and it was feared she might lose it. I had originally called her An-gel because she

was sent to me to teach me a lesson of who I should help or not help. Patches, who is much loved and much bigger now, shook her whole body with excitement when I visited her at Landrum Vet. I promised her Uncle Lennie would never forget her and would do all he could to help. Patches’ toe has been saved, it’s healing wonder-

fully and she’s as good as new. To her family’s credit, they are doing all they can to pay back Lennie’s Fund so that we can help others.

There have been others but I think you get the idea.

I didn’t have time to take photos this week so I decided

to send some of the rest of my personal animal family. It seems my kids were jealous of Rojo and Dolce. Bruno is my brindle Boxer, Pablo is the Papillion-Chihuahua mix and Tony is the black cat in a rare moment of repose.

My daughter Kim still hasn’t arrived from Afghanistan. She was kept at the hospital in Ger-many for further observation

and then went to Walter Reed here in the states. In our last conversation she said, “Come hell or high water I’ll be there by Tuesday.” I pray that is so, I sorely miss her.

As you all may well know, Dr. Sandy Davidson passed on earlier this week. She has left a large hole in not only mine, but many peoples’ lives. In one of our last conversations I asked

Sandy to please check in on all the kids I’ve sent before you and I promise I’ll do my best to help those you leave behind. Sandy responded with a smile and a thumbs up, an image I will always keep in my heart.

So to my Monty and my Allie and all my other precious kids, “you’ll be in good hands until we meet again.”

Thanks for listening.

Dear Savvy Senior,What resources can you

recommend to seniors who are shopping for a car? My wife and I are relatively healthy 70-year-olds and are looking for a new senior-friendly vehicle, but could use some help.

~ Older DriversDear Older,For seniors who are in the

market for a new or used car, the AAA (American Auto-mobile Association) and the University of Florida’s Insti-tute for Mobil-ity, Activity and Participation has just updated an excellent resource called “Smart Features for Older Driv-ers” that can help you choose a vehicle that meets your needs as you age.

Senior-friendly vehiclesWhile the automotive in-

dustry doesn’t make vehicles specifically designed for senior citizens, they do make certain vehicles with features that can help accommodate the needs of older drivers.

With that in mind, “Smart Features for Older Drivers” addresses the age-related physi-cal changes – like diminished vision, arthritis and range of motion loss – that can affect a senior’s driving ability and comfort behind the wheel, and outlines various vehicle features that help address those issues. Here’s what they recommend.

Safety firstThe first priority is to identi-

fy vehicles with a proven safety record which you can research online at safercar.gov and iihs.org/ratings. Also look for ve-hicles that have dynamic sta-bility control, anti-lock brakes, adjustable head restraints and side and dual-stage/threshold airbags that adjust the deploy-ment force based on the severity of the crash.

Your next step is to identify specific vehicle features that can help meet your physical needs. So depending on what

ails you, here’s what to look for.Hip and knee problems:

For comfort, a better fit, and easier entry and exit, look for vehicles that have six-way ad-justable power seats that move the seat forward and backward, up and down, and the seat-back forward and backward. Also look for low door thresholds and seat heights that don’t require too much bending or climbing to get into. The ideal seat height for seniors is between mid-

thigh and lower buttocks when standing next to the vehicle.

Leather or faux leather seats are also easier to slide in and out of than cloth seats.

Stiff upper body: If you have difficulty looking over your shoulder to back up or merge into traffic, look for ve-hicles with a large rear window for better visibility, wide-angle mirrors which can minimize blind spots, back-up cameras, active parallel park assistance, and blind-spot warning systems that alert you to objects in the way. Also, for comfort and fit, consider vehicles that have a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, adjustable seatbelts, and heated seats with lumbar support.

Arthritic hands: For easier use, four-door vehicles are rec-ommended because the doors are smaller, lighter and easier to open and close than two-door models. And to help with painful gripping and turning problems, look for keyless entry and a push-button ignition, a thicker steering wheel, power mirrors and seats, and a sliding channel gear selector.

Diminished vision: Drivers with vision loss due to cata-racts, glaucoma or some other condition will find vehicles with larger instrument panels and dashboard controls with contrasting text easier to see and manipulate. And those with sensitivity to glare will benefit from extendable sun visors,

SMALL CHILDRENQ. How can we make sure that we provide adequately for our small children?A. Both the personal parenting

of your children need to be addressed. If you do not plan for the needs of your children, a court will. Your assets and the fate of your children will be up for grabs. The funds for each child will be maintained in a separate account and each child will be treated equally even if they don't have equal needs. All parents should con-sider carefully how and who will raise their children in the event that they are not able to do so. We have a checklist of things parents need to consider when planning for their chil-dren. Please call if you would like a copy.For answers on this or other estate planning issues call (828) 696-1811.

The Tryon Garden Club recently received two Kirby Tryon Garden Club grants from the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF) in support of community beautification and trail maintenance of Pear-son’s Falls.

For many years, the Gar-den Club has maintained the Tryon Depot Garden. Through the Kirby Tryon Garden Club Special Projects Fund and Polk County Community Founda-tion, it recently continued to preserve the beauty of the gar-den with the temporary trans-planting of existing plants, replanting, cleanup, addition of new plants and mulch as a result of the Town of Tryon’s upgrading of the sewer system that went through the garden. With work completed by the

town and by the club, the Depot Garden is now ready for visitors to stop and enjoy the peaceful setting. During this time, the club also sup-ported through the Kirby Tryon Garden Club Special Projects Fund, the community effort to restore the garden’s neighbor, Morris the Horse, now back in his familiar spot across the street.

A second grant through the Kirby Tryon Garden Club Pear-son’s Falls Trail Maintenance Fund allowed the Tryon Gar-den Club to continue the pres-ervation of one of the area’s most beautiful and botanically diverse sanctuaries, Pearson’s Falls. The ongoing project of treating of hemlock trees at Pearson’s Falls for the woolly adelgid was supported through

the Kirby Fund for Pearson’s Falls Trail Maintenance. In addition, a yearly professional inspection for erosion control in the glen was also funded through the Kirby Fund and Polk County Community Foun-dation.

The Tryon Garden Club is the fourth oldest garden club in North Carolina, celebrat-ing its 85th anniversary this year. A 501(c)(3) organization, members are active in preserv-ing and protecting the natural environment of the area, fulfill-ing the organization’s mission to foster an awareness and ap-preciation of the natural world, and to conserve, protect, and maintain the area surrounding Pearson’s Falls.
