Sunny View Elem. uses PCCF grant to visit aquariumbyLeahJustice

Sunny View Elementary stu-dents recently took a field trip like no other that introduced a world unknown to many of them.

Students spent the first six weeks of school learning about sea life to prepare for a trip to Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smok-ies in Gatlinburg, Tenn..

The entire school, grades kin-dergarten through fifth grade, all 171 of them eligible, chartered buses funded by a $6,600 grant from the Polk County Commu-

nity Foundation’s Unrestricted Fund.

“My absolute fa-vorite part of the trip was a tunnel called Shark Lagoon,” said fifth grader Cooper Massengill in a let-ter to the editor (see page 6) “When I got inside there was a sidewalk that moved and I felt like I was at the bottom of the ocean. My group and I went through it a couple of times and every time there was

a sawfish against the glass on its belly that looked like he was smiling at me.”

In preparation, students built the Sunny View Sea at the school by turning a hallway into an ocean tunnel like the one they encountered at the aquarium.

“It’s amazing what the stu-dents have done, and the teach-ers as well,” said Sunny View teacher Holly Owens during the Polk County School Board meeting on Oct. 10. “This trip has just been an eye opener – we have touched the ocean through science, math, lan-guage arts….”

Students learned about many aquatic creatures, including turtles, fish, sharks, penguins, jellyfish, crabs, sea horses and stingrays. They also learned many details about sea life, such as that the average length of a blue whale is 98 feet and the average length of a bottle-

tion. “Twenty-six percent of our students are served by our Title One program and 17 percent are served in the Exceptional Chil-dren’s Program. In light of our economic climate and the high percentage of our students on free and reduced lunch, our staff feels that the majority of our students would not get the op-portunity to go to an aquarium in the near future.”

The principal, teachers, staff and parents took the students for the day-long trip, with the school PTO providing snacks.

“We asked a lot of our stu-dents had they ever been to an ocean or the beach and the majority of them had not,” said Wilson. “This is a wonderful opportunity for our students here.”

My favorite things about the aquarium

Dear Editor:I’m Cooper Massengill, a 5th

grader representing Sunny View Elementary and I would like to tell you my favorite things about our school trip to the Gatlinburg Ripley’s Aquarium. Our teach-ers had us study marine life for several weeks before our trip and we worked on decorating our hallway like an ocean. The teachers taught us about all the different sea creatures we might see at the aquarium.

So the great day began with the buses. The bus seats were for two people so I could sit with my best friend. They were comfort-able for our long trip.

Once we got to the aquarium, we pretty much went to lunch. The food was great. Then we went to a class called Mr. Potato Fish that was my 3rd favorite part. We got to make our own fish using a potato. After that we got in groups and explored. While my group was looking around we saw some sea horses and sea dragons. They looked a lot alike but the sea dragons had vine things all over. That was my 2nd favorite part. I learned that the sea horse lives in the deep part of the ocean and it’s one of the slowest fish in the sea so it uses its tail to pull itself across the ocean. My absolute favorite part of the trip was a tunnel called Shark Lagoon. When I got inside there was a sidewalk that moved and I felt like I was at the bottom of the ocean. My

group and I went through it a couple of times and every time there was a sawfish against the glass on its belly that looked like he was smiling at me.

At the stingray petting zoo there was a Leopard shark that beat the side of the wall and another shark called the Bon-net head shark that looked like a hammerhead shark but it was just a relative of the hammer-head. I also saw the spider crabs. One was green and two were red. The green crab looked like he was the leader. We also got to

pet horseshoe crabs.M a n y o f m y

friends said they had never been to an aquarium before the trip. The Polk

County Community Founda-tion helped some of my friend’s experience an aquarium for the first time. Thank you! Also there was a tree that had angler fish in it and we were able to go inside the tree to see them because the fish tank had a hole in it and we can go inside it with the fish. Also just like the fish tank there was a tube for penguins. If you can’t or don’t want to go in the tube the floor there was made of glass and the penguins swam right under the glass. Down where the fish tank and tree are there is a jaw of a Megalodon shark. We found so many marine creatures. It was a really exciting day. So I just want to say thank you one more time for giving us this experience.

Dear Editor:My name is Carley

Lawter and I am in the second grade at Sunny View School. Our whole school went to the Ripley’s Aquarium in Tennessee on Sep-tember 29th. My favorite part of the Aquarium was the penguins.

One of their names was Nick and one was Maggie. They swam in the water. The piranhas did not look very scary, but they had spiky teeth. I also had fun at

the Shark Lagoon. I was surprised they didn’t eat the little fish. Thanks to the Polk County Com-munity Foundation

Mill Spring man arrested in Operation Pill SweepbyLeahJustice

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office continues its mission of ridding the county of illegal prescription medication.

A Mill Spring man was ar-rested this week in Operation Pill Sweep. He was found in possession of opium/heroine and morphine, according to sheriff’s office reports.

Dyrell Laprince Dalton, 32, of Freedom Drive in Mill Spring was arrested and charged with two counts of trafficking opium/heroine, two counts of selling and deliver-ing a schedule II controlled substance (morphine) and three counts of maintaining a vehicle/dwelling/place for a controlled substance, according to Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill.

Dalton is currently being held at the Polk County Jail under a $50,000 bond.

Operation Pill Sweep began last year as an undercover op-

eration involving the sheriff’s office and the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation last year, with arrests beginning in May 2011.

The sheriff’s office has ar-rested approximately 20 per-sons so far for participating in illegal transactions involving drugs ranging from marijuana to cocaine and illegal prescrip-tion medications.

The operation continues.

Landrum selects John Walters for depot renovationsby Samantha Hurst

Landrum City Council unanimously approved mov-ing forward with John Walters Architects of Tryon for the redesign of the town depot after a question-and-answer session Tuesday, Oct. 11.

John Walters said he appre-ciated the vote of confidence from the city and the opportu-nity to improve such a historic landmark.

“It’s very visible in Landrum – it’s right on 176, so it will be a lot of good exposure for the town and will clean up that en-try area,” Walters said. “We’re very excited.”

Walters said the intent is to get the depot as close to its original look as possible while updating electrical and mechan-ical systems. Renovations will also update the look and feel of the meeting space, while adding new handicapped-accessible restrooms and a kitchen area. There will also be additional exhibit space.

Walters is currently updating plans based on comments from city council members.

Landrum City Administrator Steve Wolochowicz said one of the changes involved moving the proposed stage from under a curved pergola to be connected instead with the stoop at the end of the depot. Wolochowicz said they believe that would leave

Rendering by John Walters Architects of the company’s proposed design for the Landrum train depot. Landrum chose Walters to handle the depot redesign project.

the area in front of the stoop to set up chairs and listen to music during events.

“I think that was a real good idea. We’d still leave the curved pergola in there because it’s a nice architectural feature and provides shade,” Wolochowicz said. “The council has really put some time into thinking about what would be best for the redesign.”

Walters said he antici-pates beginning work on the

2,300-square-foot building in the spring, with bids going out for construction in early 2012.

Engineers will go through the building with architects next week. Then Walters said final drawings could be drafted.

“Looking at train depots from the past – old photos and such – we were trying to pick up that same feel,” Walters said. “Trying to take a tradi-tional form and make it a real entryway.”

Polk County library offers free yoga class Nov. 3, 10The Polk County Public

Library (PCPL) will offer its first experiment with yoga classes held in the commu-nity room of the Columbus location.

With a trial run in Novem-ber, the free yoga class will be offered on Thursdays from noon to 1 p.m. on Nov. 3 and

Nov. 10. Walk-ins will be wel-come until 12:10 p.m. Classes are free for Polk County Pub-lic Library card-holders.

Tryon resident Elaina Pre-vett will instruct the group. Participants must bring their own yoga mat.

Tracey Daniels, PCPL’s community relations special-

ist, expressed support for the yoga program and for its likely continuation in 2012.

“The trend in big urban libraries is to provide fitness classes in addition to book-related programming,” she said. “I think it’s a perfect outreach initiative for our library and makes sense for

our community, too.”If the class is well attend-

ed, library officials said ad-ditional fitness programs are likely.

For more information about the Polk County Pub-lic Library’s programs and resources, visit www.polkli-brary.org.

“[The depot is] very visible in Landrum – it’s right on 176, so it will be a lot of good exposure for the town and will clean up that entry area. We’re very excited.”

Tryon candidates answer questions from Bulletin

Editor’s note: The Bulletin asked municipal candidates to answer questions about local issues. Below are the answers provided by Tryon candidates.

1. What will be your top priorities if elected to town/city council?

George Baker: My top prior-ity will be to ensure Tryon con-tinues to live within its means and to scrutinize expenditures both expensed (reoccurring), and capitalized.

Roy Miller: My priorities will continue to focus on solutions for the future of our water plant, whether that is selling or leasing to keep rising water rates down. Secondly, focusing on our aging sewer and water lines, which are in need of major repair and/or replacement. Lastly, but most importantly is to keep all of our rates tolerable for our citizens.

Alan Peoples: My top priori-ties are as follows with no par-ticular order:

• Renovate town hall to save energy and have usable rental space

• Facilitate getting the old Tryon Federal buildings off the market and renovated for use

• Find a developer for the maintenance shed area and move it to the sewer plant area

• Ensure that we can keep our tax rate low

• Work with other organiza-tions to promote Tryon

• Continue work on a facelift for all of downtown

Jim Scott: Keeping the town expenses in line with tax rev-enues without tax increases, while maintaining an acceptable level of town services.

2. What issues do you see facing the city/town and what would you do to address those issues during your term?

George Baker: The biggest

issue facing Tryon is the recog-nition that it is a town of LESS than 1800 people. It cannot be everything to everyone. Many of the events and festivities, while wonderful, wind up being for people who do not live and pay taxes in Tryon. These expenses must be closely scrutinized and planned in a way which does not become a burden on taxpayers.

Roy Miller: 1. Aging infra-structure

2. Dilapidated structures3. Lack of economic growth4. Water rates5. Street repairs/resurfacing6. Speeding7. Debt (payments)If re-elected I would continue

to address these issues. There is no easy fix for most of these is-sues, but some such as speeding and economic growth can be resolved with minimal financial impact.

Alan Peoples: Our largest concern is maintaining quality services for the residents of Tryon and doing it within the param-eters of a struggling economy. One way for us to do this at this time is to reduce the number of employees that we have; we just did that in the water department with a retiree, and we are looking at doing the same in other areas. A second way is for us to reduce the number of cars and/or other equipment whenever possible. A third way is to outsource some work to the private sector.

Jim Scott: There are several issues facing the town. The most serious is the declining revenues due to the economy along with the flat or declining tax base. Expense control will be essential to resolving this problem.

3. All small towns are seeing significant decreases in state revenues as a result of the eco-


B9

nomic downturns of the past several years. How do you plan to overcome those shortfalls in revenues in the future?

George Baker: See question 1 above - as revenues dwindle from one source they must be replaced by new revenues or the corresponding services or expen-ditures must be trimmed. New revenue sources are few in a town of 1,800 or less. I did not and do not support forced annexation, a position one if not both of my opponents did not take.

We must examine the way we support our various parks, festivals and parades; it is not fair to make the majority of citizens support things they may not want or participate in.

Roy Miller: If revenues have taken a hit then we have to cut back on spending and maybe cut back on personnel as we have done in the past. There may be

future decreases in services or service delivery but my last resort is to raise taxes. I have definitely been opposed to raising taxes.

We scaled back on trash ser-vices from twice a week to one time a week. I also believe we will have to scale back on our capital expenditures if that means reducing the number of vehicles in our fleet or looking at other areas that will allow us to be more fiscally responsible.

Tryon has become financially solvent in recent years. But as we continue to take on more and more projects, in particular with aging infrastructure, we need to have that cooperation and a uni-fied source to lessen the burden on any one area.

Alan Peoples: We have ex-pected to see the state decrease our revenues and began to plan for these decreases as far back as 2002-03 when the state took roughly $92,000 and then au-thorized the citizens to vote for a tax increase in sales tax to make

up for the State’s overspending. We have made several moves that have saved monies for the town:

• We put almost 100 CFLs and high-efficiency light bulbs at town hall and the fire department.

• We have sold used vehicles from one department to another rather than buying two new vehicles.

• The new water system up-grade from the mountain will save us about $8,000 or more per year in electrical costs for the water department.

• We are always looking for ways to cut expenses.

Jim Scott: Continued careful control of all expenses and peri-odic re-evaluation of areas where there are county/town duplication of services.

4. Recent improvements have been made to homes and infrastructure in Tryon’s East-side community through state and federal dollars. What other

plans do you have and how would you fund those plans to continue the revitalization of the Eastside?

George Baker: Unfortunately there are not a lot of new reve-nues available; we must continue to work the funding sources of the past while diligently pursu-ing any new opportunities. We cannot lose the progress that has been made. One solution might be to hire a professional firm that specializes in fundraising for exactly this situation. Their fee could be paid from the funds they generate.

Roy Miller: We have began to look at phase two and it’s kind of ironic because we just held the first Eastside summit looking at ways to help spur revitaliza-tion. One thing is we will need that partnership with citizens to know exactly what they want in that community to bring it up to standards of every other part of

our community. The future holds removing

blighted areas and improving things that will make the neigh-borhood more aesthetically pleasing and looking to improve infrastructure. But again, all of this comes with a price tag. Hope-fully we can go after additional grant dollars but it’s going to come down to everyone buying into it.

Alan Peoples: The town has authorized and used an amount that helps with the removal of derelict houses that are a blight on the community. The town has also worked with Habitat to procure some new housing for residents in the Eastside. We will continue to allocate funds, write grants and work for matching grants for the Eastside commu-nity and all of Tryon.

Jim Scott: Having served on the Eastside committee for six years, I am pleased with the im-provements that have been made there, but disappointed there were not more. The wheels of revitalization move very slowly and we need to speed it up. State and federal grants have been and will continue to be very impor-tant, but town money will also be required, especially in the area of condemned and dangerous buildings.

5. Polk County and the towns have attempted during the past year to meet jointly on common issues. How do you feel about partnering with the county, Columbus and Sa-luda? What are your feelings about partnering with Polk County, Columbus and Saluda on a joint water system for the future?

George Baker: Common ground with the other towns and the county has been and I fear will continue to be uncommon until the other two towns real-ize that it is not in the county’s interest to partner with towns that provide at their own expense

services that the county must pro-vide for those outside the towns. In essence, we in the towns pay twice, county taxes and town taxes, and until we can get this situation resolved the taxes we pay in Tryon will continue to be more than the taxes we pay to the county.

Harmon Field is a good ex-ample. It is used by the entire county and more but paid for by Tryon Township residences. The water system is another example of Tryon residences paying twice. The county purchase of Lake Adger was funded by everyone in Polk County, yet we have had to undertake to refurbish our own system to the tune of millions by the time it is totally done. This water canard has been bandied about for more than a decade and nothing has happened because no one will relinquish control. All eventually go their separate ways congratulating themselves that they are still in control.

Roy Miller: I was a council-member when we first sat down to try and form a countywide water system. I’ve always been open – we need to provide the best possible services for our citizens and I think we have to do that as a collective body to maintain a viable water source.

I think water is the most important issue facing all of us – securing a longstanding water source for everyone. I would like to see, however, that this is equally shared between the mu-nicipalities and the county. I don’t want to see a majority body with control over a water authority.

I think there are also other things that we can work to-gether on – a countywide law enforcement. I think it would be beneficial to see municipal substations functioning under a countywide system. I’d also like to see countywide partnership on events that allow the entire area to benefit such as events like the Blue Ridge Barbecue Festival.

If we pool our resources to-gether on many of these topics we can get a bigger bang for our

Study: N.C. second most innovative state in nation

Research Triangle Park’s reputation as a leading center of innovation was supported by a recent study by The Daily Beast.

Raleigh, Durham and Cary, the three cities surrounding the Triangle, came in fifth, 16th and 19th, respectively, on the list of the most inventive cities in America. The rankings, based on the number of patent applications filed by businesses in the respec-tive cities, made North Carolina the second most inventive state in the country. Only California had more cities in the top 25 ranking.

According to the N.C. D e p a r t m e n t of Commerce, Research Tri-angle Park is home to more than 170 global companies that “foster a culture of scientific advancement.” The area is also home to some of the country’s leading research insti-tutions, with Duke University in Durham, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill near Cary and North Carolina State Univer-sity in Raleigh.

Cary had 930 awarded patents and 412 new patent applications in 2010, while Durham had 595 awarded patents and 398 applica-

tions. Raleigh had 1,032 awarded patents and 578 applications, but had lower per capita rates in those categories.

***Blue Ridge Savings Bank,

Blue Ridge Savings Bank, founded in 1978 by former U.S. Rep. Charles Taylor, was the second Asheville bank to close this year. The Bank of Asheville closed earlier this year and its assets were transferred to a Troy-based bank.

buck. All of these things need to come into play so we are all going in one direction.

Alan Peoples: I have been a supporter of partnering with the county and towns since I was a county commissioner from 1996-2000. At that time I felt that the school system should also be included. We all use some of the same basic resources and could benefit from bulk buying. I have wanted a WASA for the past 10 years - water is the big battle. A grant writer department that was

shared by all could probably pay for itself. We could buy equip-ment that could be used by more than one entity; lend/lease would have to be worked out. Finally, we could pay attention to the police and fire: they have a great mutual aid agreement.

Jim Scott: These four entities have met periodically for at least the past five years, with varying degrees of success. I feel we should continue to meet regularly to work on mutual problems, including a joint water system in the future. However, if elected, my first priority would always be to do what is best for the citizens of the town of Tryon.

significant losses because of the weak real estate market, which left many developers unable to proceed with projects and repay their loans. Blue Ridge was declared insolvent after it was unable to raise capital holdings to meet a minimum capital re-quirement.

The three other banks closed this month, located in Georgia, New Jersey and Illinois, brought the total closed this year to 80. The total is well under the pace set last year when the country had 132 banks closed by this time.

***Carolina First lost about 35

percent of its deposits in South Carolina after it was sold last year and rebranded TD Bank, accord-ing to figures from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC). While TD Bank lost deposits, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and BB&T gained market share in the state, based on figures as of June 30.

FDIC figures show Carolina First lost $1.78 billion in depos-its between June 30 of 2010 and the same time this year. Synovus Bank, operating as NBSC in South Carolina, also lost depos-its, falling by $1.01 billion or about 27 percent. Meanwhile, deposits rose by $320 million at Wells Fargo, $468 million at BB&T and $737 million at Bank of America.

Wells Fargo is the largest bank in the state ($12.01 billion in deposits), followed by Bank of America ($9.04 billion), BB&T ($6.66 billion) and First Citizens ($6.08 billion).

tryondailybulletin.com of the state. The state said rates are “some-

what lower” in Asheville, al-though it did not provide specific figures. According to the health-care website www.vimo.com, Mission Health System has some of the cheaper costs for nonsurgi-cal treatment of a heart attack, with a procedure cost ranging from $7,900 to $11,100, about 27 percent below the national average.

The same procedure is about 3 percent more expen-sive at Caro-linas Medical Center in Charlotte and 6 percent more at WakeMed in Raleigh, but it’s 16 percent less expensive at the hospital in Wilmington.

Other figures showed health insurance costs in Asheville are comparable or slightly higher than those available in Raleigh.

In 2004, the WNC Healthcare Initiative published a study of employer insurance costs that concluded insurance rates are too high in the Asheville area. The report noted that in 2002 an economic development task force said one company declined to locate a plant in the area because

of the high healthcare costs. The study also found that

Blue Cross insurance rates for large and medium groups were 12 percent higher than in other parts of the state, and physician fees were about 8 percent higher compared to other areas of the country.

Mission completed a report of its own that found costs were higher in North Carolina overall compared to the rest of the nation, and WNC was 8 percent higher than the rest of the state. The hospital’s report attributed the

higher costs to higher rates of smoking, dis-abilities and obesity, along with an older

population.– source: Asheville Citizen

***The S.C. Charter School Ad-

visory Commitee rejected an application for a public char-ter school in Greenville that planned to focus on renewable energy and resource. The K-12 Greenville Renewable Energy school would have been the first energy-based school in the state.

However, the state advisory committee said the application did not meet standards under the Charter Schools Act relating to student-teacher ratio, measur-able goals, grade level academic standards, a grading scale and more. The charter school organiz-ers said they plan to reapply and hope to open the school for the 2012-13 year.

Akif Aydin, co-founder of the River City Science Academy in Jacksonville, Fla., said he origi-nally applied to start a charter school in Greenville focused on math and science. But he changed the school’s focus after talking with Imtiaz Haque of the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research. Together they came up with the

Aydin and Haque said it will be important for students to begin studying renewable energy re-sources much earlier in school so the country will have a workforce educated for the future.

N.C. Gov-ernor Bev Per-due and N.C.

Secretary of Commerce Keith Crisco participated in a forum with business and education lead-ers about opportunities for Chi-nese students at North Carolina colleges and universities.

The forum was hosted by New Mind Education of Raleigh, which helps Chinese students suc-ceed in American colleges.

“Today’s event was an op-portunity both to help a great North Carolina company grow its business in China and to show off our colleges and universities

to Chinese students and leaders,” said Gov. Perdue. “In addition to paying out-of-state tuition and bringing revenue to our state, international students increase campus diversity and help foster a greater understanding between our countries.”

China has passed India as the country with the most foreign students in the U.S. Last year, more than 40,000 undergraduate students from China entered U.S. colleges and universities.

New Mind Partners launched a pilot program in March to recruit well-prepared international stu-dents. As of September, the pro-gram had attracted more than 150 applicants and enrolled nearly 30 students at N.C. State.

With just two games left on the schedule, the Landrum foot-ball team is in the midst of one of its strongest seasons ever.

The Cardinals are flying high at 7-1. They’re getting strong play from their offense. That offensive intensity has been matched with a strong defensive play.

Landrum quarterback Brandon Cannon runs through a large hole provided by his blocking receivers last Friday against Southside Christian. The Cardinals host Blacksburg tonight at 7:30 p.m. A win will keep the Cardinals undefeated in region play and will set up a region championship showdown next week on the road against Christ Church. (photo by Joey Millwood)

Landrum goes up against Blacksburg

Last Friday night, it was the defense that stepped up big for the Cardinals in a home win against Southside Christian. The offense sputtered, but you’ve got to believe that head coach Russell Mahaffey and offensive coordinator Tucker Hamrick will have the issues worked out this week against Blacksburg. The Wildcats travel to Landrum for

a region battle and the Cardinals can certainly smell a region championship in the air. The Cardinals are a perfect 4-0 in re-gion play and a showdown with Christ Church looms next week.

The Cardinals, however, aren’t looking past Blacksburg. They have showed a tremendous focus each week and have show-cased an ability to dominate or

comeback in any situation with their dangerous offense led by quarterback Brandon Cannon.

A win this week will put the Cardinals in territory they’ve been in before. The region race is generally decided by the last game of the season, which is always Christ Church.

Landrum and Blacksburg kick off at 7:30 p.m.

Wolverine captain Caleb Wilson returns to the lineup tonight as the Wolverines travel to Black Mountain to take on the Owen Warhorses. (photo by Daniel Hecht)

The Polk County Wolverines are back on the road this evening, travelling to Black Mountain for a date with the Warhorses of Owen High School. While every contest is important, with just two games remaining in the regular season and the Western Highlands Conference championship on the line, tonight’s showdown carries a particularly keen sense of urgency.

The Wolverines, 7-2 overall and 4-1 in conference competi-tion, come into tonight’s game tied for first place in the WHC with Hendersonville and Mitchell. Since, barring major upsets, both the Bearcats and the Mountaineers figure to prevail this evening, a Polk victory against the Warhorses is crucial if the team expects to remain in contention for the confer-ence championship.

“For us, this game is the con-ference championship game if we want next Friday’s game to hold the same significance,” said Polk head coach Bruce Ollis, referring to the season finale next week against the Bearcats at the Little Big House.

In order to come out on top

Wolverines hit road for showdown against Owen

tonight, the Wolverines must first stop the run.

“Owen is primarily a ground based team on offense,” said Ol-lis. “For the most part, they will line up in the I formation and run right at you.”

The powerful Warhorse running attack also sets up a very effective play action pass game, particularly by use of the bootleg pass, an area of concern for Polk coaches.

“Our pass defense has been a major concern for us as we have given up big numbers the past couple of weeks,” noted Ollis. “We must get a better pass rush, which will in turn upgrade our second-ary play.”

The return of Caleb Wilson and Tyler Ridings to the lineup tonight should help the Wolverines in what figures to be a dogfight.

“Every game with Owen over the course of the past six years has pretty much gone down to the wire,” said Ollis. “Our players and coaches are aware of the fact that Owen handed Mitchell their only loss of the year a few weeks ago, so we certainly will not underesti-mate them.”

Things that go bump in the night ... get chased by dogs“OK,” I said to Paul last

Thursday morning. “That was officially the most horrible thing that has ever happened to me.”

“Really?” Paul replied, open-ing the fridge to retrieve the orange juice. “Worse than having a horse fall on you and break a few ribs?”

“Worse.”“Worse than getting up in the

middle of the night, only to step in something revolting from the cats?”

“Oh, much worse.”“Worse than that flight out

of Spain when you and your tour manager had had too many Bloody Marys, turbulence hit, and all the bathrooms were oc-cupied?”

“OK,” I capitulated. “That was pretty bad.” (and I’ve never had a Bloody Mary since.)

Gentle reader, before I divulge the details, be forewarned: if you are the squeamish sort, read no

further. Go take your cup of coffee

and turn on HGTV and watch total strangers destroy someone’s bathroom. Because what hap-pened to me was the kind of thing that will prevent you from going to sleep tonight.

To begin with, I’ve been sleeping in the downstairs bed-room. Insomnia plagues me of late and this way, Paul can stay up as long as he likes and snore his head off with-out fearing to meet my bloodshot and accusing glare the following morning over breakfast. And, because the nights have been gorgeously cool and crisp, I have kept the patio french doors open with abandon, cultivating true ‘sleeping weather.’

The dogs and cats, evidently concerned that I must be rather

lonely on my own, have taken to sharing my bed (actually staking their respective territories before I even climb in), generously leav-ing me 6 inches of mattress, next to the edge, on which to slumber.

One cat, Tippy, has taken to sleeping under the bed, occa-sionally attacking the boxspring

covering, only stopping when I smack my hand repeatedly upon the frame.

It was some-time around 2

a.m. Thursday morning when I was startled awake by what I, blurry from REM sleep, sup-posed to be an earthquake. The entire bed was shaking, and the terriers, like fur-clad sentries, stood rooted on either side of me, tensed and growling.

Suddenly realizing that Tippy was now actually somehow in the boxsprings, leaping about, I

jumped up and shouted, “Stop it! Get out from there!” while bang-ing the side of the bed.

Having not yet turned on the light and sitting up in pitch darkness, I felt the other two cats dive from the bed onto the floor, followed by Bonnie and Rosie. There was a scuffle, high pitched yaps and a long shriek that ended abruptly.

Fumbling to turn on the bed-side light, I pulled the covers tightly around my chest and peered cautiously over the other side of the mattress catching the triumphant eyes of Bonnie hold-ing a dead rat in her jaws.

A field rat had found a small hole in the bottom of the french door screen and had worked his way through into the house.

Jumping out of bed and and trying to back out of the room, each step I took was followed by an advancing one by the dogs.

• I’m Just Saying(conTinueD From page 32)

“Take that thing outside!” I whispered hoarsely on the edge of hysteria, to Bonnie who, natu-rally, dropped the rat at my bare feet, wagging her tail in expecta-tion of praise.

“Oh, dear God in Heaven...” I sighed and, rushing to the mud-room to grab a plastic grocery bag, put my hand on the out-side of the bag, and grimacing, scooped it up and deposited the still warm body outside.

Closing the french doors firm-ly, I realized with a shudder that what I had felt leaping in the box-springs was not Tippy at all, but rather, a rodent scrambling for his life followed by a pack of domes-ticated pets for whom Christmas had come just a bit early.

“Funny,” said Paul, hours lat-er. “I didn’t hear a thing. Must’ve slept right through it.”

Naturally.

The comedy “My Three An-gels,” is set in 1910 French Gui-ana, on the Atlantic coast of South America, just north of Brazil. The temperature is 105 degrees outside and pretty much the same inside.

French Guiana’s Devil’s Island penal colony frequently furnishes convicts as cheap labor to local residents and right now three are up on the Ducotels’ roof of their combination home and shop mak-ing repairs.

In the Tryon Little Theater’s Nov. 10 - 20 production of Sam and Bella Spewack’s highly popu-lar play, “My Three Angels” features inept, kind, honest Felix Ducotel and his wife, Emilie. They fear they are about to be booted out of their home and shop by Felix’s, greedy cousin Henri Trochard. Meanwhile, their beautiful daughter, Marie Louise, is desperately in love with Henri’s nephew Paul, who is completely under Henri’s thumb,

Tryon Little Theatre’s ‘My Three Angels’and slated to marry a singularly unattractive girl who comes with a lot of money. And there’s crafty Madame Parole, who has made an art form of running up an unpaid tab at the Ducotels’ shop.

There are also three convicts: Joseph, a superb salesman who could sell ice cubes to penguins and is in jail for masterful swin-dling; Jules, a kind man at heart who was forced by circumstance to strangle his unfaithful wife; and Alfred, who dreams of romance but finds himself hampered by being incarcerated for killing his step-father with a poker.

On Christmas Eve, while up on the roof, they overhear the various serious dilemmas the Ducotels

find themselves in, and being the souls of kindness underneath, the three convicts decide to make everything right again.

Director Lavin Cuddihee has announced his cast. Appearing as Felix, Emilie and Marie Louise Ducotel are TLT veterans John Hugill, Carol Cox and Mattie Carruth. As bombastic Henri, John Calure, with his nephew Paul played by Alex Tapp. As Madame Parole, Joanne Alderman. As a visiting lieutenant, Alan Searcy. In the roles of the three convicts: Edward Harrelson as Joseph; Joshua Moffitt as Jules; and mak-ing his TLT debut as Alfred, Jeremy Wood.

The box office will open Thurs-day, Oct. 27 and after be open Monday - Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the TLT Workshop, 516 S. Trade St. Telephone reservations are accepted at 828-859-2466.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Naturally boost immune systemIn last week’s column we

explored some of the advantages and disadvantages of taking the seasonal flu vaccine.

This week I’d like to show you some ways to naturally strengthen your own immune system, thereby helping keep you healthier this time of year.

Strengthening your immune system is indeed one of the most i m p o r t a n t things you can do to protect yourself, not just during cold and flu season, but all year long.

Even though these tips are easy to follow, it’s important that you be very consistent in performing them. Here they are:

1) Drink lots of lemon. Yes, that’s right. Lemon is one of the best foods known for restoring our bodies’ acid-alkaline balance. During respiration (everyday living), our cells give off acids. The more acidic our bodies are, the weaker our immune systems will be. Lemons actually alkalize our cells.

This may seem confusing, since we usually think of citrus as being acidic. Actually they are before we eat them. Once they’re digested though, citrus fruits turn alkaline in our bodies.

Use lemon juice in your water, tea, soups or in just about any thing. On my website I have a list of acidic and alkalizing foods. Also, natural unfiltered, unprocessed cider vinegar, also turns alkaline.

Now, I’m not saying you should never eat acidic foods. Many acidic foods contain nutri-ents we need. What I’m suggest-ing is that you try to incorporate more alkaline foods into your diet every day.

2) This may not be a very popular one… but stop drinking coffee. Coffee acts as a diuretic. This not only depletes your body of valuable water, but leaches out essential vitamins and minerals. By the way, eating chocolate does the very same thing. If you are going to consume coffee, I recommend you drink two glasses

of water per cup of coffee. 3) Drink plenty of water.

Staying hydrated is so important, because since blood volume is mostly water, we need an ad-equate amount to carry not only oxygen, but also vitamins, miner-als and other nutrients to our cells.

There are two things to be care-ful of though.

It‘s dangerous to drink too m u c h w a t e r in one sitting if you were to drink 2 gallons

at one time it could kill you by making your brain swell.

Drinking plenty of water can flush out minerals, called electro-lytes, which could in turn cause cramping, so I recommend taking a good vitamin/mineral supple-ment. “Provide,” by “Solaray,” is the best one I’ve seen on the market.

4) Eat plenty of raw fruits and vegetables. These contain phytonutrients that protect our cells. Dark produce, especially, has more flavinoids, polyphenols and other antioxidants that protect our bodies.

5) Cut out refined sugars. Refined sugar suppresses your im-mune system. I recommend using agave, or stevia instead.

6) Get plenty of sleep. During rest,your body heals and rebuilds itself.

7) This may sound like an odd one, but spend some time out in the cold. Exercise releases endorphins, which helps heal your body and can make a noticeable difference in your happiness and wellbeing. Indoor air in the late fall and winter can be unhealthy.

Cold air stimulates the thyroid gland. Add these tips to your ev-eryday routine, for better health.

THE PEG SUS GROUP

The week of Oct. 24 Tryon Fine Arts Center’s (TFAC) tour-ing production of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” hits the road with 14 scheduled performances in half that many days. The cast and crew, including several tour veterans, will set up and perform the 50-min-ute version of Washington Irving’s ghost story in nine venues from Spartanburg to Rutherfordton.

Doing the fall tour has become a tradition for several high school actors. Seniors Katie Duncan, Jerreth Emory and Alexa Hughes have participated since the tour’s inception in 2009.

Emory will spend time on the road playing the role of Ichabod Crane in both N.C and S.C. Emory is also drum major for the LHS marching band. “This experience mostly helps with time manage-ment,” Emory said. “The tour forces you to discover what your priorities are and how to say ‘no’ to going out as opposed to the homework that is due.”

“It can be intimidating to pull into the next show space and have absolutely no idea how to set up,” said home-schooled senior, Alexa Hughes.

Behind the scenes, Hughes operates sound and lights at every stop on the tour.

“I keep doing the tour to learn new things. I would love to pursue a career in theater, so everything I learn every year helps me to get to that goal.”

“I keep doing the tour because

High School seniors tour with TFAC

as an actress I stretch myself to new heights that I didn’t even know I had,” said Katie Duncan. Duncan also is a drum major, musician and dancer.

Tour Director Marianne Carruth said, “These seniors are talented and dedicated students who make tremendous demands on them-selves, committing to a variety of activities both scholastically and personally. They hold themselves to high standards and TFAC has been fortunate to work with them over the years.”

A public performance of “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” will be held at TFAC on Sunday, Oct. 30 at 3 p.m. With props and costumes loaned by Tryon Little Theater and sponsored in part by Duke Energy Foundation and Costco, the tour is offered free to the public. Donations are welcome. Contact Marianne Carruth for more infor-mation at 828-859-8322, ext. 213.

Mid-October, cool crisp mornings“Do you love this world? Do

you cherish your humble and silky life? Do you adore the green grass, with its terror beneath?”

~ Mary Oliver

Acorns, squirrels and more acorns...a flare of yellow leaves: mid-October brushes the cheek with balmy afternoons, cool-crisp-apple mornings.

Driving between Saluda and Tryon down 176, a favorite route to work, squirrels scamper in front of my car.

Not wanting to hit Squirrel Nutkin (thanks to Beatrice Potter), I slow: telling the squirrel to move it, make his mind up.

Confused, the round-eyed gray furry tails dance back and forth: not sure, maybe, could be. This reminds me of my own mind some days; I end up forgiving them every time.

When I was a kid, we had a menagerie: Siamese cats, dogs, rabbits, squirrels, pigs, chickens, a cow, turtles, guinea pigs and a boa constrictor. I was the one who discovered “Nipper” the baby squirrel in the woods one afternoon.

Blind and shivering, Nipper had lost his mother, and was cling-ing to a hickory tree for dear life. I brought him home, bottle-feeding him. He’d ride on my shoulder, in my shirt pocket, climb happily through my hair.

Krang, the boa constrictor, lay over my shoulders like an exqui-site shawl. Krang stayed with us thanks to my dad who was on the administration staff at Wingate: we snake-sat one summer for a traveling student.

One day, my older brother’s cute friends drove up, and being a typical 13-year-old girl wanting to impress, I strolled out to greet them with a large 6-foot snake as thick as my forearm draped around my neck.

Windows closed and flew

gravel wildly as the carload of teenage males backed out of the long driveway at break-neck speed. So much for those cute older males. Perhaps I didn’t make the impression I had meant to!

Editor’s note: The follow-ing was submitted by Steps to HOPE in observance of October as Domestic Violence Awareness month.

Real healing can be a lengthy and uncomfortable process. We must first address and heal that within us which formed, attract-ed or manifested the condition in the first place.

With surgery or a long term illness we know that we need time, proper treatment and care in order to become whole and sound again.

The same holds true for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault who not only need physical healing but tremendous emotional healing

Domestic violence awareness month: ‘Hoping, Helping, Healing’

for restoration of self, a process that can be long and painful. Healing for abusers is also es-sential if they are to become free of the emotional state that causes them to batter.

Steps to HOPE provides vic-tims of domestic violence and sexual assault safe shelter and resources to help them begin a new life free from abuse.

Steps to HOPE offer the Domestic Abuse Intervention Program, which helps both men and women learn proper skills to deal with anger. Call 828-894-2340 if Steps to HOPE can help you or someone you know get on the right path to healing.

Powell celebrates 100th birthday with family and friendsPictured with the Lester Powell (center) are his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and in-laws. (photo submitted by Marsha Van Hecke)

Lester Powell hosted friends, his three children and many of his 27 grand-, great-grand-, and great - great-grandchildren on Satur-day, Oct. 15, as he celebrated a triple-digit birthday.

The granddaughter in charge of bringing balloons acknowl-edged that it wasn’t easy finding balloons inscribed with 100 but she persevered and the dining room of the Smith Phayer Hos-pice House was decorated.

Among Powell’s friends were those from Hickory Grove Bap-

tist Church, where he is now the oldest living member. All pres-ent related stories of his sharp mind, his love for baseball, fox hunting, his more than 40 year association with senior citizens groups in Landrum, Inman and Spartanburg, S.C. and his be-loved western square dancing.

His daughters, son and grand-children agreed that he has al-ways been a community-minded person.

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

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

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

It has been awhile since I’ve told a Best Medicine tale, they are without a doubt my most enjoy-able cases.

Two weeks ago I told the tale of Ranger, the 3-year-old Lab Shepherd that was struck by a car. Fearing a difficult case I prayed, “Lord I may need a little help on this one.”

Around seven years ago, the McDowell’s, Rosa Lee and Perry, bought a stray lab and shepherd mix into their home, which they named Honey. The bond between animal and family was quick, strong, loving and lasting. Honey was treasured by the McDowell’s and gave back unconditional love, as is often the case when an unwanted pet finds a forever home. Unfortu-nately, forever denotes only the life of the animal, for God only lends them to us, and at 9 years old, Honey passed on leaving a gaping hole in the McDowell’s home.

Meanwhile I was visiting Ranger daily, checking on his status. The vets and staff assured me he was healing nicely, though he was now wearing a plastic collar so he wouldn’t pick at his wounds.

After a week at Landrum vet I received a call from Rosa Lee expressing interest in Ranger. At that time I learned all about Hon-ey and how much they missed her. “I read all your articles, Mr. Riz-zo,” she said, “and when I read of Ranger and saw his photo I was

Oh ye of little faithcompelled to visit Honey’s grave, looking for approval, I suppose.” Rosa Lee moved me deeply and when I learned they had 3 ½ acres of fenced in property, I instinctively knew that this would be the best medicine for Ranger and the McDowell’s.

True to her word, Rosa Lee went to visit Ranger, removed his collar and took him for a walk. In the days following, Ranger seemed to have gained a new spirit of life. He had already been neutered at my request and I asked that all proper test for parasites be conducted, which thankfully came up negative. Over the weekend I was informed that the adoption of Ranger was

a certainty and we arranged to meet at 10 a.m. Wednes-day morning to finalize the

transfer. I saw to it that Ranger received all his shots, received a microchip and that all papers and tags would be ready.

I arrived shortly after 9 a.m., settled the bill and went in to see Ranger. The whole vets office was beaming, they like myself revel in a happy outcome. Rosa Lee came in to claim Ranger shortly before 10 a.m. and after all the paperwork was signed I brought him out to her. Ranger’s whole demeanor brightened up in her presence and I had a flash-back of Snowy and Chase. As I held him in my arms and kissed him goodbye there wasn’t a dry eye in the office from both staff

ranger (phOtO submitted)

and clients, with Rosa Lee lead-ing the way.

After Ranger was placed in the car and he drove away head-ing for a new life I thought to myself, “Shortly after two weeks since he’d been struck by a car, that’s almost a record for me.” Then I sat down on the bench and tearfully prayed, “What a fool I am dear Lord, I’m merely an instrument in your hands. From the moment of Honey’s passing, you were in control, forgive me for my lack of faith.”

On an unrelated subject or maybe not? The following Sat-urday morning while doing my little yard sale for Lennie’s kids at T.J.’s I was approached by a couple I know from the café. It seems they had adopted Beatrice, the sweet totally deaf 12-year-old Beagle from FHS. I was familiar with this dog and blessed them as I was led to their car to give her some hugs and kisses. “By the way,” they told me, “I hope you don’t mind, but we decided to change her name to Honey.”

Thanks for listening.

Gasperson updates Senator HaganNow is the time to consider

transplanting new trees and shrubs into your home landscape. For 29 years, Polk County Extension Center has promoted fall planting as a preferred time over a spring planting time.

Why try fall planting? Unlike our neighbors to the north, our most stressful weather for plants is during the summer months. Fall planting is recommended for two main factors.

First, the plants are going into dormancy with cooler tempera-tures and shorter days. This tends to lessen transplant shock on new plantings. Second, while the top growth of plants has stopped, the plant roots will continue to grow through most of autumn. This in

Fall is preferred planting timeturn will help plants survive our hot and often dry summertime conditions.

Plants can be transplanted any-time during the year but the amount of follow up care varies depending on the season. The optimal time to set out most new plants is during the month of October. Now would be a time to start shopping.

If you have any questions about transplanting new trees and shrubs, the

Polk County Master Garden-ers are available Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to noon at the County Extension Center in Co-lumbus. They can be reached at 828-894-8218.

Dear Savvy Senior,My 62-year-old husband was

just diagnosed with type 2 dia-betes. As the cook in the family, I’m interested in finding out the best diabetic foods that he should now be eating, and where I can put my hands on some good diabetic cookbooks.

What can you tell me?Diabetic Caretaker

Dear Caretaker,Eating healthy is important

for everyone, but it’s even more important for the nearly 26 mil-lion Americans who have diabetes – half of whom are over the age of 60. Here’s what you and your husband should know.

Diabetic Super FoodsA healthy diet, coupled with

regular exercise and medication (if needed) are the keys to keep-ing your husband’s blood sugar under control. To help meet your husband’s new dietary needs, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) offers a list of top 10 super foods for type 1 and type 2 diabetics.

These are foods that contain nutrients that are vitally important to people with diabetes, such as calcium, potassium, magnesium and vitamins A, C and E.

They’re also high in fiber which will help your husband feel full longer and keep his glycemic index low so his blood sugar won’t spike. And, they’ll help keep his blood pressure and cholesterol in check, which are also critical for diabetics. Here’s what they recommend he eat plenty of.

Beans: Kidney, pinto, navy, black and other types of beans are rich in nutrients and high in soluble fiber, which will keep his blood sugar steady and can help lower his cholesterol.

Dark green leafy vegetables: Spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, kale and other dark, leafy green veggies are nutrient-dense, low in calories and carbohydrates. Your husband can’t eat too much of f these.

Citrus fruits: Grapefruit, or-anges and other citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C, which helps heart health. Stick to whole fruits instead of juice. Fiber in whole fruit slows sugar absorption so your husband will get the citrus fruit nutrients without sending his blood sugar soaring.

Sweet potatoes: High in vita-min A and fiber and low in glyce-mic index, sweet potatoes won’t raise your husband’s blood sugar at the same level as a regular potato.

Berries: Whole, unsweetened blueberries, strawberries and other berries are full of antioxidants, vitamins and fiber. Choose fresh or frozen berries for salads, smoothies or cereal.

Tomatoes: Raw or cooked, this low-calorie super food offers vital nutrients like vitamin C, iron and vitamin E. Serve sliced, steamed, broiled or stewed, as a side dish, in salads, soups, casseroles or other dishes.

Fish with omega-3 fatty acids: Salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna

Best foods to include in meals for older diabetics

Savvy Senior are high in omega 3 fatty acids that help both heart health and diabetes. But stay away from the breaded and deep fat fried variety.

Whole grains: Pearled barley, oatmeal, breads and other whole-grain foods are high in fiber and contain nutrients such as magne-sium, chromium, folate and omega 3 fatty acids.

Nuts: An ounce of nuts can go a long way in providing your husband important “healthy fats” along with hunger management. They’re also contain a nice dose of magnesium and fiber, but don’t overdue it. Nuts are high in calo-ries so a small handful each day is enough.

Fat-free milk and yogurt: These dairy foods provide the cal-cium and vitamin D your husband needs, and they’ll also help curb cravings and between-meal snacks.

More informationFor additional information on

healthy food choices for diabetics, including hundreds of free recipes, visit the ADA Web site at diabetes.org – click on “Food & Fitness,” or call 800-342-2383 (press option #4) and ask them to mail you a copy of their free booklet “What Can I Eat?” The ADA also offers a wide variety of diabetic cookbooks that you can purchase through their online store at shopdiabetes.org or 800-232-6455.

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.

Life Outside

Four Wallsby Rob

McComas

Wildlife officer Toby Jenkins, top, releases a muskie into Lake Adger. Below, Columnist rob McComas holds a muskie before release. (photos submitted by Rob McComas.

I had the privilege recently to help the NC Wildlife Resources Commission in their efforts to stock muskie in Lake Adger.

Lake Adger is and has been known as the “home of the muskie” for quite some time. The small 438-acre lake has been home of the state record several times in the past 30 years, and is home of the current state record at 41 pounds 8 ounces since 2001.

The NCWRC, along with the help of the Western North Car-olina Muskie Club, stocked the lake wit 1,450 muskie rang-ing from 7”- 10”. “That’s the most we ever stocked,” said David Yow, the warm water research fisher-ies coordinator.

Yow told me that was about five to six times the normal amount. The big stocking was due to a very good year at the Table Rock Fish Hatchery, the hatchery that supplies the finger-ling muskie for the state.

The “cigar” size muskie are “stocked in October to give the fish the best chance a t s u r v i v a l , ” s a i d Yo w. It gives the fish time to adjust to their new habitat before the cold of winter sets in. And, the water has cooled enough to reduce the stress of warm water temps.

The size of the fish reduces somewhat the number of fish that will be eaten by larger predators. Although I’m pretty sure I may have caught an Osprey catching a freshly stocked fish on film. The cost of feeding the fish to get bigger is hard to justify as well.

Yow also told me we should start seeing results in three to five years for catchable size fish. I took this as fish in the 30”- 40” range.

All of the fish released are tagged. The main purpose is for future studies done on the lake. There is also some minor concern that fish can get down the river into South Carolina, and if this does happen the fish can be identi-fied as one put in by the wildlife

commission. The fish put in for this stock-

ing were sterile and non-sterile fish. There has never been a fish taken during studies that was not a stocked fish. There is apparently no natural reproduction in the lake. This makes the stockings all the more important to sustain the fishery.

The WNC muskie club is a leader in conservation and pro-motion of the famed muskie. The club was established in 1981. The

annual dues are $20, and the club meets the first Monday of each month.

“You don’t have to catch a muskie to be in the club, just be ac-tive in resource care,” I was told by the for-mer club president.

That might be a good thing, due to the fact that the muskie is known as the “fish of 10,000 casts.” I personally feel this num-ber is low, at least for me anyway. It feels more like 10,000,000 casts, but when you catch one it is well worth the wait and effort.

The size minimum to keep Muskie was changed last year from 30” to 42”. I would like to say, and I feel the Muskie club has my back on this that releasing all fish is the right thing to do. But to me, as long as it’s legal you don’t

need to hang your head. Rob McComas is a licensed

North Carolina fishing guide on Lake Lure and Lake Jocassee in S.C. He has been a guide for 11 years and fishing for more

Muskie population well stocked in Lake Adger
