The groups are selling pink ribbons to hang in the school’s hallways and pink balloons to be released during the Oct. 26 football game. Those who purchase balloons can even request a name to be written on each item. The Cardinals’ volleyball team has “Volley for the Cure” T-shirts for sale as well. The team will have a table set up at their play-off match on Monday. The players are also collecting change to fill bottles.

Hogs & Kisses second at Future Legends of BBQ by Leah Justice
Last year’s grand champions, Hogs & Kisses had another good turnout this year as they placed second in the fourth annual “Future Legends of BBQ” competition on Oct. 13 at Camp Mondamin in Flat Rock. Allison Herrmann, 15-year old stepdaughter of former Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree and Madison Arrowood, 14-year-old daughter of Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arrowood, placed second overall as they were topped by a team of four kids from Watkinsville, Ga. with the team “Colham Ferry Q School.” During last year’s Future Legends of BBQ competition, Herrmann and Arrowood won first in ribs, first in sauce and third in the competitor choice category to take the top honors.

Third annual Farm to Fork largest crowd to date breads and homemade cheeses. Dessert of apple crumble was offered with homemade vanilla ice cream along with a cup of hot coffee from Open Road. Those that continued to brave the cold as the temperatures quickly dropped were treated to a delightful concert from neighboring county’s Letters to Abigail. The two bonfires stayed crowded up until the silent auction closed and winners left the fire to claim their winnings. While final profit figures are still being calculated, earnings from the silent auction alone are already in excess of $2,400, up more than $1,000 from 2011. Raffle winners, the Breckheimer’s, graciously donated their take, which added another $216 to the bottom line. Planning for next year ’s event will be underway in early 2013 and all who wish to get involved are urged to contact

Dark Corner Diner bringing food truck trend to area by Barbara Tilly
A new restaurant will soon open in Landrum - and in Columbus, Lynn, Saluda, Campobello. Dark Corner Diner is a food truck - a mobile restaurant - that will bring its offerings to locations around the Thermal Belt beginning in late October or early November. It will be the area’s first true food truck, owner Virginia MacLure said. Dark Corner Diner will offer gourmet sandwiches, soups, salads and desserts for lunch four days a week. “The food will be interesting and diverse,” MacLure said. “No hamburgers, hot dogs or french fries.” Some examples of the offerings are a chicken sandwich with Asian pear and Korean mayo, a roast beef sandwich on hoemade pretzel rolls with radish slaw, greens, black pepper mayo and grilled red onion, chicken and spinach soup, Tunisian stew, cornbread salad, white bean and feta salad, chocolate cream cheese brownies, Macadamia nut bars and gingerbread with hot caramel sauce. MacLure, who used to run
the restaurant in the Open Book store in Greenville, S.C., said the food truck industry is taking the country by storm. In 2011, according to the National Restaurant Association, food trucks were the single fastest-growing segment of the restaurant industry, grossing more than $630 million. According to MacLure, food trucks have made entrepreneurship accessible for many wouldbe restauranteurs during the economic recession of the past several years. Another factor that spurred the industry’s growth was express shipper DHL’s decision in 2008 to shut down its U.S. operations, which put many suitable trucks on the market at an affordable cost. The food truck industry is still fighting for legitimacy, MacLure said, both in the food business and in public perception.

Jade Turtle acupuncture at Essence Day Spa in Tryon Licensed Acupuncturist Autumn Zamzow has opened a second location of her Jade Turtle Clinic, now offering Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine at the Essence Day Spa on Storey Road in Tryon. Zamzow added the Tryon location at the request of colleague and client Maureen McManus, who previously practiced acupuncture at the Essence Day Spa. “Maureen recently retired so she could do some traveling, but she worried about leaving her clients,” Zamzow said. “Because we’ve been colleagues and also each other’s acupuncturist for a long time, she felt she could recom-
mend me and that her clients would be in good hands.” Zamzow has been practicing at her Lake Lure Jade Turtle Clinic for 10 years. She utilizes Dr. Richard Tan’s Meridian Balance Method and specializes in orthopedic acupuncture. She earned her masters degree in traditional Chinese medicine after completing five years of acupuncture and herbology studies at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego. For an appointment or to learn more about Jade Turtle Clinic’s services, please call 828-625-2727 or email jadeturtleclinic@att.net. – article submitted by Judy Heinrich

Change on the way for food and nutrition services Polk County Department of Social Services will start implementing the NC FAST system for the Food and Nutrition Services Program (food stamps) Oct. 22. North Carolina Families Accessing Services through Technology (NC FAST) is a program designed to improve the way the state and local Departments of Social Services implement programs. It introduces new technological tools and business practices that will enable staff to spend less time on administrative tasks. The main goal is to provide better benefit program access and service to the people of North Carolina. During the transition to the NC FAST system, the time it takes to complete an initial Food and Nutrition Services
application will take longer. As a result, applicants may experience a longer wait time in the DSS lobby, as well as a longer interview process with the worker. Applicants are asked to be patient during this transition and to plan their schedule accordingly when they come to apply. Once the NC FAST system is in place, clients will receive benefits in a more timely manner, caseworkers’ paperwork will be reduced, and policy changes will be implemented more efficiently and uniformly. After the transition period, application and processing time will be reduced. For more information or questions, contact Polk County DSS at 828-894-2100. – article submitted by Lou Parton

Wolverine men’s soccer captures redemption against Avery by Elizabeth Troutman
The Wolverines’ mens soccer team picked up another conference victory with a 4-1 win over Avery. The win put the Wolverine’s conference record at 6-3-1. Coach Lennox Charles was pleased with the win and the performance of the team. “Even though we still had breakdowns, Monday was the most complete game we have played in a couple of weeks,” Charles said. “It was very enjoyable after losing to them 5-1 at their place.” Polk County’s offense was extremely active against the Vikings, taking 12 shots on goal. Polk County senior Daniel Page scored the first goal only 12 minutes into the game. Juan Vera, senior midfielder, assisted on the goal. The Wolverines outplayed the Vikings, controlling the ball for the majority of the first half. Polk County continued to move the ball downfield in attempt to score. Only three minutes later did senior John Modlin knock in another goal after a corner kick. Fernando Mondragon, a Polk County junior, assisted Modlin. With nine minutes remaining in the first half, Modlin saved Polk County a goal

point attempt by Avery. The Wolverines finished the first half with a score of 2-0. Eight minutes into the second half, the Vikings were able to get a ball past Polk County goalkeeper Dallas Boone, scoring their only point for the game. Boone, a Polk senior, had five saves for the game. Shortly thereafter, senior Kevin Angier, assisted by
Modlin, scored Polk County’s third goal with 26 minutes remaining. The Avery Vikings offense produced weak shots, only making six shots at the goal. To finish, Modlin, assisted by Page, score Polk County’s final goal with 14 minutes in the game.

Runners mark 24th annual White Oak Mountain 3-mile climb by Elizabeth Troutman
However challenging the 3-mile trek up White Oak Mountain might be, one could only imagine how rewarding the beautiful climb really is for a runner. Head Polk County Cross Country Coach Alan Peoples started the run in 1989, and has run it every year since with the exception of this year. Coach Peoples credits his son, Seth Peoples, with the idea of the run. He claims Seth saw a group of bicyclists climbing the switchback roads and thought, why not run it? There is no wonder Seth has since become a high school teacher and cross country coach himself in Greensboro, NC. Coach Peoples considers the run a “confidence run,” and when the students first start the season as early as July, the coaches begin preparing them for the run. At first, the coach explains, the students may be daunted by the thought of such an accomplish-
ment. Coach Jenny Wolfe further explains, “It is an extraordinary feat for each and every participant and brings our kids and families together like no other event.” The students’ and coaches’ hard work pays off come the first week of October and they find themselves making the last sharp upward climb to one of Polk County’s most breath-taking views. Having defeated the grueling road, the students get a confidence boost just two short weeks before conference finals begin. The run began with just the Men’s Cross Country Team. In year 2000, the Women’s Cross Country Team became included and now there are around 40 participants in the run each year. The high school students also run in a 10-mile path around Lake Summit in Saluda each year, although not scheduled for this season yet. (Continued on page 22)
