Sheriff’s Office Chaplain Chris Osborn, “but to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office she was a deputy.” Osborn said officers are very appreciative of Trixie’s service as K-9s are amazing animals in what they are able to do. He said the dogs are particularly close to the handlers as they are their protectors. Trixie, a 10-year old German Shepherd began her K-9 career with the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office where she served for three years before serving with the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office for the next five years. Trixie joined Polk County handler Ronnie Russell last year. She passed away suddenly on March 15 after working the night before and helping in three drug arrests. Officers said she died from cancer. Russell said the turnout at the memorial service meant a lot to

him but his emotions overtook him and he couldn’t continue his speech. Osborn said the bond between

a handler and his dog is special as the crowd could see. Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill, who also became emo-

tional at times, said he lost his first police dog to cancer several years ago. (Continued on page 4)

March 19 where commissioner George Baker announced the store obtained a loan. Baker also said the loan does not require the town to be obligated for anything, despite previous statements that the town would have to co-sign a loan. Tryon ABC store chair Richard Rardin said the board was approved for a loan and interviews are currently being done for a manager to run the store. “Our intention is to open as soon as possible, with no fixed open date until we find the right person for the position,” said Rardin. Baker said during Tryon’s meeting that the board is hoping to reopen in April, but it will depend on the hiring of a manager. During council’s February meeting, ABC board members said the store would need a $25,000 loan to reopen with council approving the store receiving an up to $30,000 loan. The store has been closed since September 2012 and the possibility of reopening seemed bleak until last month. The store was closed pending the state and the town conducting an inventory and audit. The inventory concluded that there was approximately $3,000 worth of liquor missing from the store. The state initially recommended that the store either

merge with Columbus, which wasn’t interested or close due to lack of revenue. The ABC board began working on plans to reopen while selling stock in order to pay bills. ABC board member Dennis Durham created a plan and presented figures to council during its February meeting. In the meantime, the store’s landlord has lowered the rent from $1,200 per month to $1,000 per month and the board plans to make changes in operation in order to at least break even in the future. Plans as of last month were to reduce the hours of operation, opening at noon instead of 10 a.m. and stay open as normal until 8 p.m. The store also plans to only sell spirits, not wine and mixers. Durham told council last month that the store will only sell items people can’t get anywhere else except in South Carolina so the store doesn’t compete with local businesses who sell other items such as wine. Tryon’s ABC store is located at 354 S. Trade Street in the shopping center between Dollar General and IGA. said people wonder why there’s such a bond between a handler and a K-9, but when you bathe the dog, feed the dog and give it medicine, it becomes your child, Hill said. Hill also read a poem called “Rainbow Bridge,” about losing a pet. The sheriff’s office is seeking donations for Russell to have another K-9. Call the sheriff’s office at 828-894-3001 for more information.

Polk Co. sheriff’s office warns community of multiple scams

We have a New York Direct Sales Connection!

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is warning citizens and making them aware of money scams that are going around the county. As the economy remains tough and unstable there are individuals who continue to be creative of ways to profit at others’ expense. There are three scams that have been reported recently that the public needs to be aware of and not participate in them. Most of these fraudulent operations prey on the elderly in a means of convincing them that their business is a legitimate operation in which the victim then sends money, which is often funneled into oversea accounts such as Jamaica and most recently Russia. Once cash is sent or a check is cashed, the chance of law enforcement being able to recover your loss is non-existent. Locl law enforement agencies do not have the authority and resources to go overseas to investigate and the Federal Bureau of Investigation will generally not get involved either unless it involves a significant amount of currency. If you receive information or a telephone call from an organization identifying themselves as the National Retirement Security Task Force offering you Insurance to protect you when the government seizes everyone’s Social Security/Medicare, do not participate. This is a group of people contacting recipients of Social

Security and Medicare informing them that if the individual participates and sends them a certain amount of money each month is that of insurance for when the federal government takes everyone’s Social Security and Medicare or when these programs allegedly go bankrupt. This is a complete fictitious program that does not exist and is a way for these people to gain your money. Beware of paving crews in the area who are offering homeowners to get their driveways paved at a very low price. They are informing the homeowner that they have leftover asphalt from another job in the area and need to dispose of it. They start and run out of material and leave to go get more along with monies you have already paid them, but they never return. Also, if you receive a phone call from someone stating you have won money all you have to do is send them a certain amount for processing or for the taxes, this too is fraudulent. Scams such as these are creating thousands of victims who are losing thousands of dollars that is untraceable and unable to get back. If you have questions or concerns about an offering and you are not certain of its validity, please contact your area law enforcement before following through with the offer. – article submitted by Det/Sgt. Randall R. Hodge

Tryon to allow advertising on Morris for steeplechase

Tryon Town Council decided to allow the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club to advertise this year’s Steeplechase on Morris the horse. Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said after reviewing wording in the agreement to donate the horse to the town last year, council decided to allow the one-year advertising for the event. Council earlier this month decided to ban advertising on the statue and work on other means of advertising for organizations near Morris.

Tryon to replace police car 51

Tryon Town Council agreed on March 19 to replace police car 51, which was totaled, with a Dodge Charger to be financed. The town received a loan through BB&T and will apply the insurance proceeds from the 2004 Crown Victoria towards the financing.

Columbus changes meeting times to 6 p.m.

The Town of Columbus decided to delete its monthly work sessions and begin regular meetings at 6 p.m. instead of 7 p.m. Council agreed to the change during its March 21 meeting with councilwoman Ernie Kan saying she feels like council goes through two meetings and the public doesn’t hear what council discusses because all discussions take place during the work session. The town will make the change beginning in April. Columbus will now meet every third Thursday at 6 p.m.

Columbus reviews St. Luke’s Hospital agreement for officers

Columbus Town Council on March 21 reviewed the first draft of an agreement between the hospital and the town for two town police officers to staff the hospital from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield said the agreement includes room for growth in salaries in case insurance costs rise. Beddingfield said they are planning to begin the staffing July 1. The hospital is assuming all costs for the officers.

Columbus, DOT, St. Luke’s, fire & police meet on new helicopter landing concerns

Following concerns raised by Columbus Fire Chief Bobby Arledge last month regarding possible traffic dangers from the new hospital helicopter landing zone, which is visible from Hwy. 108, Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said he met with N.C. Department of Transportation, St. Luke’s, fire and police officials on Feb. 27. He said the meeting resulted in good ideas to mitigate any potential issues. Kanipe said some notification or buffering is needed to ensure that vehicles are not significantly distracted during landings with work on the solutions continuing.

Polk varsity baseball tags Thomas Jefferson, 10-2 by Mark Schmerling

Polk County’s varsity baseball coach Ty Stott said last week he’d like his hitters to be more aggressive. In the March 26 game against visiting Thomas Jefferson, only the relentless wind blowing in from left and center kept the Wolverine’s drives in play, as Polk clubbed Thomas Jefferson, 10-2. Polk is now 6-5 overall, and 5-0 in the conference. Winning pitcher Daniel Painter held the visitors to two runs, while striking out five, including all three batters he faced in the fourth. Alec Philpott hurled the final two

frames, in which he fanned one batter, and induced three more to make outs on weak bouncers back to the mound. Painter’s teammates gave him early support, scoring four runs in the first, and adding four in the second. Though his team played well, Stott knew the weather was a factor. “It’s no fun to hit when it’s cold,” he said, “but it’s definitely tough to pitch when it’s cold.” Painter, whose record is now 3-0, drew praise from Stott. “He mixes his pitches up,” Stott said. “He keeps them (the hitters) off balance.”

In the first inning, while playing short, Philpott showed his great arm, and pure athleticism, when he charged a slow bounder, grabbed it barehanded, and made a strong throw to first, to retire the side. In their half of the first, the Wolverines got it going with two outs. Catcher Bryce Martin bounced a comebacker to the mound, where Thomas Jefferson’s pitcher made a good stop. However, his low throw just eluded the first baseman. With cleanup hitter Wes Brady at the plate, Martin stole second. Brady walked, putting runners on first

and second for Dylan Turner, who singled through the middle, scoring Martin. Morgan Groves lofted a fly ball that appeared headed for deep left, but the wind pushed it in, where it dropped in front of the surprised left fielder, who charged in too late. That scored Brady, to make it 2-0, Polk, with runners on first and third. JC Suddeth blooped a double down the right field line, chasing home Turner and Groves. Mark Mazilli flied to center for the third out, but the Wolverines led, 4-0. (Continued on page 15)

Polk County softball coach Jeff Wilson gets win No. 300 by Mark Schmerling

Fast-pitch softball and coach Jeff Wilson both took off at Polk County High School in 1996, and both are still soaring. Last Thursday, Wilson earned his 300th win as head coach of the Wolverines’ varsity team. From his 1996 start as head coach, Wilson has garnered more career wins in that sport than any other coach in Western North Carolina, along with the most wins by any active coach. Wilson’s 300th, a 17-1 romp over East Henderson, lifted the Wolverines to 7-2 on the season. Last year, Wilson’s young women were 21-4, and captured the Western Highland Conference championship. Overall, Wilson’s teams have averaged 17 wins per season, for a resounding 71 percent

“I’ve been blessed to have a lot of great players.”

• Baseball

Thomas Jefferson’s lanky first baseman led off the top of the third by depositing one of Painter’s offerings over the right field fence for a solo homer, but Painter regrouped and held Jefferson scoreless for the rest of the inning, to keep Polk ahead, 8-1. Painter hurled his best inning in the fourth, when he fanned all three batters. Polk added a run in the fourth and Jefferson added its final run in the top of the fifth. Polk quickly got back its eight-run advantage in the fifth. With runners on first and second, left-handed batter Dequan Gary pushed a beauty of a bunt up the third base line. It stayed fair, and died near the bag, giving Polk bases loaded. Philpott’s sacrifice fly to left ended the game’s scoring. Were the Wolverines more aggressive at the plate Tuesday? “I thought so,” answered Stott. “They put it (the ball) in play. I thought we swung the bats good. We were aggressive on the bases, and we pitched well.”

(continued from page 14)

Polk quickly put the game away in the second. No. 5 Konnor Scruggs lined a lead-off single to left center. Jordan Brown was hit by a pitch, making it first and second with none out. Philpott bounced out to second, the play moving runners to second and third. Martin lined a two-run single into right, scoring Scruggs and Brown. With Turner at the plate, Martin swiped second, and scored easily on Turner’s triple to right center. That brought Morgan Groves to the plate. Facing Jefferson’s submarine-balling reliever, Groves lifted a catchable fly to right, but it popped off the right fielder’s glove, allowing Turner to score the eighth run. Suddeth then fisted a ball weakly down the first base line, but reached first when the ball was bobbled. With runners on first and second, Mark Mazilli ended the frame with a bounce out to third.

winning percentage. Like successful coaches elsewhere, Wilson has both the personnel, and a talent for guiding them to the top. “I’ve been blessed to have a lot of great players,” Wilson said. Among those is senior Katie Ruff, who raised her 2013 record to 6-1 in that win. “She’s doing a great job,” Wilson said of Ruff. The Wolverines have several good pitchers on the way up as well. Wilson’s balanced squad includes seniors Ruff, centerfielder Shalyn Brown, left

fielder Amber Lynch and first basewoman Cassie Couch. Ruff plays outfield when not on the mound. Other pitchers include sophomores Kassidy Reynolds,

Carolyn Couch, Brandi Cordell and Leann Wallace. Freshman Lily Owens also pitches. Wilson relishes his coaching experience. For him, “It’s been a thrill.”

Young dancers attend workshop on Appalachian Spring The Dancer’s Extension in Saluda recently held a workshop for young dancers to learn about Appalachian Spring, the masterpiece choreographed in 1944 by American modern dancer, Martha Graham. Students heard the children’s story, Ballet for Martha, which summarized the collaboration between Graham, composer Aaron Copland, and set designer Isamu Noguchi. They completed a flower broach craft, similiar to one worn in the 1944 performance. Students were then taught modified choreography to “A Gift to Be Simple,” and practiced this choreography to live piano accompaniment by Jeremy Duncan. The Dancer’s Extension offers classes for youth and adults. For more information, call 749-9398 or visit their website at www. thedancers-ext.com. – article submitted by Sonya Motts

Students in attendance for this workshop were: Katelyn Berg, Beatriz Cera-Gonzalez, Jhoana Cera-Gonzalez, Autumn Jones, Clara Monts, Reagan Moss, Lauren Nelson, Anna Stack, Lily Sutton, Madison Sutton and Hayden Thompson.

Tryon Hounds breaks ground on new huntsman home The Tryon Hounds broke ground Saturday, March 16 on a new residence for the organization’s Huntsman. The new home will be constructed on the Tryon Hounds’ property located off Little Mountain Road in Columbus. The ranch-styled home will feature three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, a family room, a sunroom and garage. “One of the most significant benefits when hiring a qualified huntsman is the housing package,” said Bonnie Lingerfelt, Joint Master for the Tryon Hounds. “We have been fortunate to have Jordan Hicks as our huntsman for the past six years. This new residence will make a wonderful home for Jordan, his wife Jennifer and their daughter McKinsey.” Art Lazarus, a Tryon Hounds (Continued on page 23)

Columbus Lions celebrate liberty at Tryon Elementary Principal Ott Sizemore welcomed Lion Garland Goodwin and Clerk of Superior Court Pam Hyder to his school recently to celebrate liberty in a fourth grade classroom. The Lions furnish a booklet containing the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with its amendments, given to the students by an elected official in order to enhance its perceived value to them.

Hyder engaged them immediately and her presentation about her duties generated many questions. Lions are committed to our nation’s ideals and are pleased to thus foster a love of country in our young people. Lions will “Celebrate Liberty,” as their program is called, in other schools in coming days. – article submitted by Garland Goodwin

Care Kitchen marks birthday One year ago this week, the Polk Baptist Association (PBA) Care Kitchen was first discussed by a committee that felt there was a need for providing a good meal to those in the area. Following several weeks of planning, the first no-cost Friday lunch was served on May 4. This week the Care Kitchen group is inviting you to help celebrate with a BBQ from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. on Friday. Local friends of the Care Kitchen will prepare the BBQ pork, baked beans, slaw, dessert, etc. for those who would join in for a delicious meal and fellowship with other attendees.

It is especially nice to see those come that live alone or have no other family home for lunchtime. All are welcome to the lower level of the Polk Baptist Association Office, 208 Blanton Street, Columbus. During the past winter, many coats and sweaters were donated and distributed to the Care Kitchen guests. Now, during the spring and summer, we ask that you plant an extra tomato or vegetable in your garden and to think of donating a portion of the yield to this project. – article submitted by Ann Carswell

Info for seniors looking for love and companionship online Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about online dating for older people? My daughter has been urging me to give it a try, but at age 62, I’m a little hesitant. Lonely Senior Dear Lonely, Dating sites have become enormously popular among the older generation in recent years. In fact, boomers and seniors make up about 20 percent of online daters today, and the numbers keeps growing. Here’s what you should know. Meeting online If you’re interested in dating again or are just looking for a friend to spend time with, dating websites are an easy way to meet hundreds of new single people without ever having to leave home. If you’re feeling hesitant, a good way to ease into it is to visit a few dating sites and look around. Most services allow you to check out their members at no cost or obligation. Then, if you like what you see, you can sign up (fees typically range between $15 and $60 per month, however some sites are free) and start emailing members you’re interested in or they can email you. Here are some other tips to help you get started.

Or, if you are looking to find a specific type of person, there are hundreds of niche sites like OurTime.com and SeniorPeopleMeet.com for those 50 and older, Alikewise.com for book lovers, DateMyPet.com for animal lovers, VeggieDate.org for vegetarians, JDate.com for Jewish singles, BlackPeopleMeet.com for African Americans, and ChristianMingle. com whose slogan is “Find God’s Match for You.” Or, check out AARP’s new dating website partner HowAboutWe.com. Create a profile When you join a dating site you’ll need to create a personality profile that reflects who you are including recent photos, hobbies, interests, favorite activities and more. If you need some help, sites like eFlirtExpert.com or VirtualDatingAssistants.com can write one for you for a fee. Use caution When you register with a dating site you remain anonymous. No one gets access to your full name, address, phone number or email until you decide to give it out. So be very prudent who you give your information to, and before meeting, chat on the phone a few times or video chat online, and when you do meet in person for the first time, meet in a public place or bring a friend along. If you want to be extra cautious, you can do a quick background check on your date for a few dollars at sites like valimate.com and mymatchchecker.com.

Savvy Senior

Choose a site With over 1,000 matchmaking sites on the Internet today, choosing can be a bit overwhelming. Depending on your preferences here are some popular options to look into. If you don’t want to spend any money, free sites like PlentyofFish.com and OKCupid. com are good places to start, but beware that these sites have a lot of ads. If you’re interested lot’s of choices, consider mainstream sites like Match.com and eHarmony. com which have huge memberships in all demographics.

Don’t be naive In an effort to get more responses, many people will exaggerate or flat out lie in their profiles, or post pictures that are 10 years old or 20 pounds lighter. So don’t believe everything you see or read. Make an effort A lot of times, people – especially women – sit back and

let others come to them. Don’t be afraid to make the first move. When you find someone you like, send a short note that says, “I really enjoyed your profile. I think we have some things in common.” Keep it simple. Don’t get discouraged If you don’t get a response from someone, don’t let it bother

you. Just move on. There are many others that will be interested in you and it only takes one person to make Internet dating worthwhile. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
