Steeplechase: Heyday for horses, hatsby Samantha Hurst

Hazy clouds and chilling breezes gave way to clear blue skies just in time for the 65th running of the Block House Steeplechase Saturday, April 23.

As kids ran around grassy areas, families and friends prepared for the day of festivities.

Tailgating groups set up everything from simple tables of paper plates and fried chicken

to elaborate spreads of silver serving platters and gourmet entrees.

Tailgate judges Joyce Cox, Libby Johnson and Russ and Billie Jordan selected their favorites from among the crowds including:

Polk employees may pay more for insuranceNew plan includes increases in copay/deductibleby Leah Justice

Polk County employees on the county’s health insurance plan could see more money coming out of their pockets next year.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners spoke on Mon-

day, April 18 with Tracy Mc-Carty of Mark III, the county’s insurance broker, about options for next year. The county’s new fiscal year begins July 1.

Polk County, which is self-insured, increased its allotment for employee insurance this year 20 percent, or approxi-mately $160,000.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said when he pre-sented the 20-percent increase

to the previous board of com-missioners he promised he wouldn’t come back with a recommendation for another increase this year. Whitson also said the county will still be pay-ing for the employee premiums with the proposed new plan.

“I don’t need an increase on health insurance for next year,” Whitson said.

Notices (right) are posted on the doors of the former Tryon Federal Bank property in downtown Tryon (left ) announcing foreclosure hearings set for May 10. The three buildings that make up the property, which are owned by McCray Smith, have been empty for years. Smith, who operates the development company Cray Inc., originally purchased the Tryon Federal buildings with the idea of redeveloping the property as a multi-use facility. Ideas considered included retail shops, offices, a restaurant and a jazz club in the basement and apartments or condos on the second floor. The property was included in an auction of McCray Smith holdings held in July 2008. The auction company initially sought bids of more than $700,000, but stopped seeking them after none were received even as low as $400,000. According to county tax records, Smith bought the property from Tryon Federal Bank for $350,000 in 2005. More recently, a planned purchase and multi-use development of the property by Tryon House fell through in November 2010. (photo on right by Barbara Tilly)

Northern Bay rules Carolina First Block Houseby Laura Weicker

Northern Bay, campaigned by the estate of Maryland owner-breeder Cary W. Jackson, took command on the final circuit of Sandlin Racecourse and drew clear to a ten-length victory in the $25,000 Carolina Cup Block House, featured race of the 65th annual Block House Races in Tryon, N.C., on Saturday, April 23.

Karen Eyles’ Canardly came on to finish second in a field of five. Randleston Farm’s Spy in the Sky took third, and Julia Thieriot’s Fantastic Foe finished fourth.

Bill Pape’s Lead Us Not set the early pace under jockey Brian Crowley, with Northern Bay and jockey Roddy Mackenzie shadowing the pace in company with Fantastic Foe. Crowley mis-judged the finish line by one circuit while comfortably in front and steered Lead Us Not off the course, apparently believing the race was over.

Fantastic Foe inherited the lead, but Northern Bay took com-mand when asked by Mackenzie and drew away to the finish line. Northern Bay ran the Carolina

First Block House’s 2 1/2 miles in 5:01.60 on a course rated as good.

Trained by Todd Wyatt, Northern Bay won his only start of 2010, a Philadelphia Park op-tional allowance at 26.70-1 odds.

The husband-wife team of Richard and Lilith Boucher ac-counted for two victories on the Block House program. Lilith Boucher trains Marilyn S. Ketts’ Flying Friskie, who won the $10,000 Cannon Harmon Memo-rial, a maiden claiming hurdle, by two lengths with Richard Boucher in the saddle.

The trainer-jockey duo also accounted for a narrow victory by Mede Cahaba Stable’s Class Tie in the $10,000 Greek Creek Equestrian Park, a conditioned claiming hurdle. Clorevia Farm’s Better Be Ready finished second by a head.

In the afternoon’s kick-off race, Crowley collected a victory in the $15,000 Performance Cen-ter/Hendrickscars.com aboard the Elkstone Group’s Last Man Standing for Racing Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard. Inti finished second in the maiden hurdle.

"Professional Work at the best prices guaranteed!"

The proposal is to change the plan, which will mean deduct-ibles, copays and out of pocket maximums will increase for employees.

County employees currently pay $25 for regular physician visits and $35 for specialists. The proposal is for physician copays to rise to $30 and spe-cialists to rise to $60. Deduct-ibles are proposed to go from the current $500 to $1,500 with out-of-pocket limits proposed to increase from $2,500 to $3,000.

Under Polk County’s self-insurance plan, the county pays for up to $35,000 in claims per employee, and a “stop-loss” insurance carrier pays any costs remaining after that amount.

According to Mark III’s projections, Polk County’s expected total costs for insur-ance claims this fiscal year are estimated at $1,000,546. The expected total costs for next fiscal year are estimated at $1,191,803. McCarty said so far this fiscal year the county’s claims are running 16 percent below the county’s claims last year. But if Polk stays with its current plan, the county will be guaranteed a 19-percent increase, McCarty told com-missioners.

Commissioner Renée Mc-Dermott asked if the county has considered bidding insurance out and not continuing with self-insurance.

Whitson answered that he prefers the self-insurance plan

the county currently uses. He said once the county bids out the service, the county will receive a really good price the first year, but those rates will increase the next year and sub-sequent years.

McCarty said Polk County’s current deductibles are ex-tremely low. She said the aver-age deductible is in the $1,500 to $2,000 range.

Commissioner Tom Pack asked McCarty if traditionally some months have more claims than others. McCarty said nor-mally claims rise towards the end of the fiscal year because people will get medical proce-dures done then because their deductibles are either paid or nearly paid..

So far this fiscal year, the number of county employees who receive health insurance ranged between 135 and 157 depending on the month. Em-ployees are not required to have the county’s plan. Polk County pays for all of its employee’s health insurance premiums, with employees paying for any dependents. The county’s dental and vision insurance is contracted out, with employees paying for those premiums.

If the current proposal is approved, it will be the first time health insurance rates for employees have increased since 2003.

Commissioners are sched-uled to further discuss the proposal with Mark III during the county’s next meeting on Monday, May 2, which will be held at 7 p.m. at the Stearns Building in Columbus.

Welcome to the

Hanukkah & Kwanzaa

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight can-dles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews. When the Jews would not worship the pagans, Epiphanes raided and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. After seven years of fight-ing, Maccabee regained control, and the Temple was restored. The famous story states that only a small vial of oil was found to light the eternal lamps, yet they were blessed and burned for eight days, giving the Jewish people enough time to acquire more oil for the lamps. The symbolic lighting of the menorah occurs at sundown for the eight days during Hanukkah. Children also trade gifts and play with games and toys, such as a driedel. Special foods, such as fried potato cakes and fried donuts, are served during Hanukkah. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Professor Maulana Karenga, a Black Studies professor from California State University in Long Beach, California. Kwanzaa is a celebration of the African family and culture. It begins on December 26 and ends on January 1. The name Kwan-zaa comes from the Swahili term which means “first fruits of harvest.” Much like the menorah of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa has seven symbolic candles lit each night symbolizing aspects of the culture. Each night, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa-- unity, self-determination, col-lective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith--is discussed. Kwanzaa is also represented by seven symbols--crops, a mat, a candleholder, the seven candles, ears of corn, gifts, and the Kikome Chad Umoja (The Unity Cup).

Squirrels are perhaps the most commonly seen wild animal. You can find them at the park, in the backyard, or even at the school playground. They are found in almost all places on Earth, except for Australia, Antarctica, and the Island of Madagascar (home to the lemurs). Squirrels are rodents that are closely related to chip-munks, marmots, prairie dogs, groundhogs, and woodchucks. They are characterized by their large eyes, bushy tails, and prominent front teeth. The common squirrel seen in the United States is the Eastern gray squirrel, which live in trees. Other types of squirrels live in underground burrows. The smallest of all squirrels is the Afri-can pygmy which is only four inches in length. The largest squirrels are found in Asia; these giant squirrels can measure up to 36 inches and weigh almost seven pounds. One of the most interesting types of squirrel is the nocturnal flying squirrel. This animal has large flaps of skin that allow it to leap extremely large distances, much more than that of a common squirrel. Squirrels eat plants, such as grass, nuts and seeds. Some consume insects, and a few species will oc-casionally eat small amounts of meat.

RLS gets $25K grant to offer eldercare wellness program for Polk caregivers

Rutherford Life Services, Inc. will use a $25,000 grant from the North Carolina GlaxoSmithKline Foundation’s Ribbon of Hope program to provide an eldercare wellness management program for hundreds of caregivers in Polk County and surrounding areas.

Rutherford Life Services is a community-based nonprofit that exists to be a positive and proactive voice for people with disabilities.

RLS and Polk County Coun-cil on Aging have partnered to provide quality education and services regarding caregiver de-pression, burnout and isolation. The eldercare wellness manage-ment program is built on the ex-perience and knowledge gained from working with hundreds of caregivers over the past 10 years.

Organizers say there are two components to this program. First, the program will raise awareness about caregiver burn-out, increase knowledge of signs and symptoms of burnout and depression, and reduce isola-tion associated with long-term

caregiving. Secondly, Rutherford Life Ser-

vices will expand and provide adult day health care services to care-givers in Polk County and sur-rounding com-munities. RLS, which has pro-vided services to families in Ruth-erford County since 2001, also serves Polk fam-ilies through the Polk Life Care adult day care center in Columbus. RLS is one of the 50 nonprofit organizations awarded grants since March 2008 from the North Carolina GlaxoS-mithKline Foundation’s Ribbon of Hope program.

Polk County is ranked high-est in the state of North Carolina for percentage of people age 65 or older (23.6 percent), with the senior population being the fastest growing segment. Polk Life Care’s program director, Christy Bedding-

field, said, “How well we care for the frail elderly, and their caregiv-ers, in our communities is the in-

nermost social and moral test this generation will encounter. The eldercare wellness man-agement pro-gram will edu-cate families, help them navi-ga te through their difficult journeys and provide adult day health care

services to lighten their loads.”The GlaxoSmithKline Foun-

dation’s Ribbon of Hope pro-gram provides one-time grants of $25,000 to nonprofits for projects furthering science, health and edu-cation in their communities.

For more information about the eldercare wellness manage-ment program, contact Christy Beddingfield at 828-894-2007 or [email protected].

“How well we care for the frail elderly, and their caregivers, in our communities is the innermost social and moral test this generation will encounter.”

The second annual Art & Garden Bazaar, to be held Saturday, April 30 on McCown Street in downtown Tryon, will coincide with the Green Blades Tour of Homes. Sponsored by the Carolina Foothills Chamber Foundation, the bazaar will feature nursery vendors who will donate 15 percent of their plant sales to ArtScapes, a project to beautify the towns with landscaping and art led by Tryon Fine Arts Center in conjunction with local garden clubs. Above, shoppers from last year enjoy the selection. (photo submitted)

The Saluda Community Land Trust (SCLT) will hold its fourth annual meeting, Wednesday, April 27 at 6:30 p.m.

Art & Garden Bazaar event to be held April 30

Equine activist Libbie John-son will be the guest speaker for the Tryon Kiwanis Club, Wednesday, April 27.

Johnson believes “Our Horses Mean Business,” and she has the numbers to prove it.

Armed with a fact-based equine economic impact study, Johnson spreads the word lo-cally and nationally as she works to promote jobs and economic opportunities for horse owners and equine-related businesses throughout the Carolina Foot-hills.

Johnson to speak at Kiwanis on equine economics: bringing business, dollars to Polk County

Active with the local Chamber of Commerce, Polk Economic Development, Foothills Eco-nomic Partnership and various horse organizations, Johnson has made it her mission to increase awareness of the benefits of the area’s horse economy.

Johnson will share equine news to all who will listen, and to any “neigh sayers,” she said she has proof that the horse industry is an economic boon for Polk County.

Plus, horses are a lot of fun, she said, and Polk County has nu-

merous venues and opportunities from a slow, easy trail ride to the nail-biting jumper competitions.

Johnson will present the pro-gram “Our Horses Mean Busi-ness,” Wednesday, April 27, at the Congregational Church on Melrose Ave, Tryon.

The public is invited to at-tend. The presentation follows lunch, served at noon, and a short meeting.

Anyone interested in attend-ing is asked to call 828-894-2408 for reservations.

Fort Sumter, South Caro-lina, April 12, 1861, about 4:30 a.m.

The darkness of the pre-dawn hour was shattered by cannon fire that hurled a can-nonball toward the fort.

“Almost immediately after-ward a ball from Cummings Point lodged in the magazine wall, and by the sound seemed to bury itself in the masonry about a foot from my head, in very unpleasant proximity to my right ear.”

That ear belonged to Capt. Abner Doubleday, a Tryon resi-

Historical Treasure of the Month: Cannonball that started Civil War

dent, who personally witnessed the first shot of the Civil War.

Capt. Doubleday retrieved the cannonball and then fired the first shot in defense of Fort Sumter. The cannonball was handed down in the Doubleday family for 123 years.

In 1986 Betty Doubleday Frost, grand-niece of Abner Doubleday, donated this fam-ily treasure to the Polk County Historical Association Mu-seum in Columbus so future generations could see it and perhaps reflect upon the four years of horrific conflict that

followed.The Civil War ensured the

future of the United States as “one Nation under God,” but that future was sealed with the blood of over 620,000 soldiers.

Learn more about Capt. Doubleday and on this 150th anniversary year see the his-toric cannonball at the Polk County Historical Association Museum in Columbus.

The museum is open Tues-day and Thursday from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.


The cannonball that supposedly started the Civil War has been passed down in the Doubleday family of Tryon.

from the menu, there will be fel-lowship and prayer for the needs of those in our community, state,

nation and world as well as for those who want to cause us harm.


TuesDay, april 26, 2011 Tryon Daily BulleTin / The WorlD’s smallesT Daily neWspaper page 15

Growing up in these United States has really changed since I was a little boy more than 60 years ago.

Today we have incredible technology at our fingertips and, for the younger kids, that’s prov-ing to be almost all-consuming of their time and limited atten-tion spans.

Medicine has made fabulous strides, and we’re living longer. Processed foods and fast foods that didn’t even exist when I was young are now the mains tay of the younger g e n e r a t i o n ’s d ie t , and re -searchers have begun reporting that what kids are eating is doing enormous amounts of damage, first with unbelievable jumps in the obesity rate and secondly in the soaring rates of Type 2 diabetes.

We used to think only “old” people had strokes, and they still do. But in a shocking announce-ment from the American Stroke Association in its February report, older people are suffer-ing fewer strokes while young and middle-aged Americans are showing alarming increases in the frequency of strokes.

Here are just a few eye-open-ing statistics taken from research done nationwide comparing stroke hospitalizations by age in the time periods of 1994-95 and 2006-07. The results from a sample of hospitals in 41 dif-ferent states involving about 8 million cases were shocking. For every 10,000 hospitalizations for stroke, there was an increase of 51 percent from 9.8 percent in 1994-05 to 14.8 percent in 2006-07 for males ages 15 to 34. Age 15! That’s outrageous.

For females the differences from the 1994 time period to the 2006 time frame was an increase of 17 percent among those ages 15 to 34. Who would have ever thought we’d be discussing strokes among kids and young adults?

Strokes – not just affecting elderly

Senior LifeStyles

Ron Kauffman

The numbers continue to stun with a 47 percent increase in the same time periods for males between 35 and 44 and a 36 percent increase for women in the same age group. So what could possibly be the cause of such a jump in strokes?

Obesity is one of the under-lying conditions that can lead to strokes, but there’s a story behind the story.

Researchers think there may b e a s t r o n g l ink in those age groups for people who con-sume diet sodas. Isn’t it amazing to think that by

trying to reduce their sugar in-take, these drinkers of diet sodas may be increasing their risk for a brain attack – a stroke?

That same study also found increased risk for stroke for those people who consumed more than 1500 milligrams of salt a day – a little more than ½ a teaspoon per day.

Processed food and the use of table salt can really add up, and those people who consume at least 4,000 milligrams were found to have a 250 percent higher risk of stroke than people who limited their daily salt in-take to 1,500 mg or less.

This is critical information because in this country, stroke is the third leading cause of death, behind heart disease and cancer, taking the lives of more than 137,000 people a year according to the American Stroke Associa-tion. The possible link between strokes and diet soft drinks is just one more red flag regarding the intake of soft drinks.

Previous research has al-ready been substantiated and reported that those who drank more than one soft drink a day, whether regular or diet, were more likely than non-drinkers to have several other health risk factors including high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides (blood fats), low levels of good cholesterol, high fasting blood

sugar and large waists, all part of a diagnosis referred to as metabolic syndrome.

And metabolic syndrome is known to and has been proven to increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

While strokes continue to occur most frequently among older people, the increase among those as young as 15 is a major wake-up call regarding our diet and eating habits. As you can imagine, there are several other factors to consider regarding increased likelihood of a stroke, such as gender, level of physical activity, daily calorie intake, smoking and alcohol consump-tion.

But the bottom line remains that people in the studies who drank diet soda daily - com-pared to those who drank no soda - were 61 percent more likely to have a vascular event. Not surprisingly, while the re-search shows a high correlation between soda and stroke, there is not yet a consensus as to why. More research has to be done, but if the original study is repli-cated in subsequent research, it will not bode well for the daily consumption of diet soft drinks.

Does this mean you can never have another soda? Of course not, but common sense does suggest, just as with sugary desserts or even red wine that is high in antioxidants, all things in moderation.

Try to cut down on salt, read food labels to see what’s in the foods you’re eating and hold yourself to no more than one soft drink a week.

That’s a tough prescription to follow, but the truth be told, it’s a lot easier to do than recover from a stroke – at any age.

At the Polk County Historical Association meeting on Tuesday, May 3 at 2:30 p.m. at the museum in Columbus, Bill Russell will re-live his life in Saluda for the audience.

Russell was born in Saluda and grew up there. He will talk about the places he has lived, going to school, chores he had as a child, shopkeepers he knew and city workers who kept Saluda going. He will also tell of times at the Mountain Page Baptist Church.

Russell has written a memoir “In Times Gone By.” This will be available for purchase after the meeting. All are welcome.
