downtown Columbus, the Mill Spring Fire Department and the Green Creek Family Life Center. As of Thursday afternoon, 5,993 votes had been cast either by early voting or absentee ballots, according to the Polk County Elections Office. Early voting began Oct. 18 and has seen one of the largest turnouts in several years. During the 2008 election, which was the last presidential election, Polk County voted 7,850 total early votes, including one-stop and absentee. So far this year, Republicans are leading in early votes by casting 2,175 of the total. Democrats are right behind with 2,049 votes with Unaffiliated voters casting 1,761 early votes and Libertarians casting eight total votes. Of the total 5,993 early votes so far, 5,395 have been early votes with the remainder being absentee ballots. This year’s voting machines have come with sensitivity. The N.C. State Board of Elections this year sent voter alerts which are posted at all three Polk County locations that say the touchscreen of the machines are sensitive and voters should check the summary at the end and carefully review the ballot to ensure it is accurate. The alert also directs voters to an attendance for assistance if needed. The Bulletin received one complaint that a machine cast a wrong vote for the president, but the board of elections office has received no complaints regarding any problems this year. Any issues with machines should be filed in writing with the elections office. Saturday, Nov. 3 is also the last day to register to vote as long as early voting is also done. Polk voters have several local and state races this year besides the presidential election. There are three seats open this year on the board of commis-

Columbus awarded $10,000 grant from community foundation The Town of Columbus announced a grant award of $10,000 from the Polk County Community Foundation Unrestricted Grants fund. This grant will be used by Columbus to join the Handmade in America program. Handmade in America is a non-profit organization based in Asheville that strives to grow local economies by placing an emphasis on craft and the artisans who create it. Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said the grant, and subsequent partnership with Handmade in America, will benefit Columbus for years to come. “This generous grant from the Polk County Community Foundation allows the town to move forward with a proactive economic development guide and prepare us for the next 10-15 years.” The grant enables the town to finance the development of a community assessment integral to the Handmade in America process. During this community assessment, Columbus will seek feedback from members of the community regarding the town’s direction for the future. The funding also allows the town to invest in its intangible infrastructure -- economic development and cultural heritage. Councilwoman Ernestine Kan played an integral part in secur-

ing the grant and has participated with Handmade in America’s craft programs. Kan said this grant helps the town maintain a positive, “hometown” direction for the future. Kan said Columbus “will always remember the trust they [the community foundation] put in us with this grant.” Handmade in America currently serves 13 small towns in 10 counties throughout Western North Carolina, including Chimney Rock Village, Bakersville in Mitchell County and Old Fort in McDowell County. Over the past 15 years, Handmade in America small towns have attracted more than $52 million in investment and created hundreds of new jobs for local economies.

the handlebars. “Lumberjack, biker, moonshiner and all around madman, Josh splits his time between South and North Carolina. Long before he became a moonshiner, Josh had a career as a professional superbike and motocross racer. These days, Josh’s motorcycle time is spent on the road with his dog Cutie Pie riding shotgun on the handlebars,” says Owens’ biography on Discovery’s website at dsc.discovery.com/ moonshiners. Owens owns Tree and Yard Busters in Polk County and spends most of his time climbing and removing trees, working a bobcat and dump truck and clearing land. He said he begged Barnwell to let him build an underground still for him for years. Barnwell landed a reality show on the History Channel and finally told Owens to build the underground room that would be used as a stage for Barnwell’s band, the Plum Hollow Band during the day and a still at night. Just as Owens got started, Barnwell had two strokes and died at age 58. Owens said after Barnwell landed the show he told Owens he was going from “Barney’s woods to Hollywood.” Owens and his friend Billy Canny, also on the Moonshiners show, stayed at the hospital for two

weeks prior to Barnwell passing and decided to carry out the project as a memorial to Barnwell. “I had no idea any of this was going to happen,” Owens said. “I just built this up and did it for Barney. It’s just a miracle in itself. Heck, (the Discovery channel producers) were gone. The fact that I did something to do the right thing and it turned into all this is crazy.” They finished the project in Barnwell’s memory and about a year later, Barnwell’s wife, Debbie got a phone call from Discovery asking if Owens and Canny did the project. “They liked it so much they came out from New York and California and said they wish they could have seen me doing this,” Owens said. The Discovery channel producers said they needed some wrap up of shows they did with Barnwell, so Owens said his wheels started spinning. “I asked them, what if I build an addition with a tunnel and another utility room and an outhouse as an escape route,” Owens said. “They liked that so much they asked me if I wanted a TV show and I said ‘heck yeah.’” O w e n s a n d C a n n y, o f Spartanburg, have been filming the show since the spring.

week as the show premiers. Owens said he’s spent more on this project than he’s getting paid to be on the show, but he did it for Barnwell. “It means everything to me,” Owens said. “Barney was my best friend and when he died it would have been easy to lose steam in the project but finishing it in his memory gave me a reason to carry it out and have something else to remember Barney by.” Owens said he knew Barnwell for about 10 years and he was not only a best buddy but a mentor. Barnwell put on the annual Moonshine Reunion and the Plum Hollow Festival in South Carolina. “Barney was a genius,” Owens said. “A historian who knew all about moonshining. Barney was a legend and so much more than just a guy who liked to party.” Owens said he’s put every ounce of energy into this project and sacrificed everything to get to this point. “Every time we’ve done anything on this project we’ve hit the wall,” Owens said. “There have been so many problems but we pushed through it. When you watch the show you’ll see. We’ve done everything but kill each other.” Owens said he’s been through so much he feels like this could change his life. He has a 2-yearold daughter, Reese, and said he simply wants to make a good life for her. Owens’ mother Cindy Owens died last year of cancer and Owens’ life has not been an easy road. “I’ve been shot, stabbed, hit by a car, hung in a three-phased power line, got my nose bit in half, fell off a cliff, had my knee blown out, broke my collar bone, tailbone, broke one wrist once and the other twice and had my hand crushed,” Owens said. “I’ve been through hell, but if you truly believe in something you can make it happen.”

“Barney was my best friend and when he died it would have been easy to lose steam in the project but finishing it in his memory gave me a reason to carry it out and have something else to remember Barney by.” -- Josh Owens

About making it on the show, Owens said, “I’m the luckiest, unluckiest SOB you’ve ever met in your life.” To find out more about Owens, see a feature on him in the December issue of the Bulletin’s Life in our Foothills. From the show Moonshiners Making moonshine in the United States has been linked with the Whiskey Rebellion during the 1790s. Under President George Washington, a federal tax was imposed on whiskey, which farmers rebelled against and it caused a rise in illegal distillers. Discovery’s website says even the origins of NASCAR have been linked back to the skilled driving of moonshiners eluding law enforcement. Moonshiners-Get Your ‘Shine On! tells the story of those who brew shine in the Appalachia. Viewers witness practices that are rarely, if ever, seen on television and meet local legends of moonshining. “Think the days of bootleggers, backwoods stills and ‘white lighting’ are over?” states the Moonshiners website. “Not a chance! It’s a multi-million dollar industry. But perhaps more importantly to the moonshiners, it’s a tradition dating back hundreds of years, passed down to them from their forefathers. It’s part of their history and culture. While this practice is surprisingly alive and well, it’s not always legal.”

sequestration procedure at Woods Well The Town of Columbus recently received final certification from the project engineer for the Woods Well polyphosphate installation. Some town water customers living in close proximity to the Woods Well have experienced discoloration issues with their water. After investigating several possible solutions, the town determined the best viable alternative was to add a chemical polyphosphate to the Woods well to sequester excessive iron and manganese particles from the water. The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) permits this process and the engineer for the project must issue a final certification before the polyphosphate is added to the well. The permit was obtained in April 2012 and the engineer certified the construction in the end of October 2012. This chemical addition should not alter the taste, odor, or color of the water from this well. Phosphates are used by approximately 15-20 percent of public and private water systems, and many groundwater systems use them to sequester iron

meter. I’ve had my plumbing checked for leaks. I’ve replaced inefficient and waterguzzling appliances. As an explanation of the last bill of $70 up from the usual $60-plus, I was told that rates recently went up just a ‘tiny’ bit. They may have gone up a ‘tiny’ bit, but they obviously go up frequently based on Ms. Calure’s comment that rates have risen 500 percent in the last 20 years. F u n n y, t h o u g h , I n e v e r receive any notices of when rates are rising. They just rise at the discretion of the town. It’s getting to the tipping point. The Town of Tryon cannot continue to use water as a way to raise revenue for town expenses because as a society we know that the expenses of government always go up, never down. Ms. Calure is right. Citizens will not be able to afford water. If we can’t afford the water, can we afford the town government? Water rates ought to be tied to two variables and two variables only: actual consumption (not a phantom, minimum consumption) and the cost of water and the water system to the town. Then it would be a valid charge, not a tax. And it would be something we, the consumers, could control, and perhaps afford. – Dorothy Kirk, Tryon

Tryon water bills taxing on residents Like Cathy Calure, whose letter was published Oct. 31, I’ve been frustrated and puzzled by Tryon water charges. I’ve lived many places but have never experienced water charges as exorbitant as the ones here. I am a single person household yet my last water bill was $70. One problem is that the bill is not based on consumption. I know this because when I was working in another state, I turned the water off at the meter yet I still had to pay the minimum charge. I consumed nothing but paid over $35 per month. For what? Not for water. And the minimum, whether you use a drop or not, is higher than I’ve ever paid elsewhere when I was using water. The only rational explanation of the high water charges in Tryon is that the water charges are a back-door tax. W h e n t h e To w n o f Tr y o n needs more money, it raises the water rates. What an ideal way to tax people. It’s pretty universal, does not require approval, and has virtually no visibility. It flies under the radar. I’ve called the Tryon water department often about my escalating bill. I’ve had them come out to check the

Theater students hone skills in Tryon Fine Arts Center fall tour

Set for the Tuesday morning performance of Twelfth Night at OP Earle Elementary school in Landrum, TFAC’s backstage student crew of Alexa Hughes, Sara Seagle, Tij D’oyen and Stage Manager Jody McPherson are ready to execute set and costume changes that expedite the performances of the SC actors. For information about the tour, call 828-859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org. (photo submitted)

Tryon Fine Arts Center Fall Educational Theater touring student production of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night opened Monday, Oct. 29 with back-toback performances at Chapman High School, the first of the 11 performances scheduled in local North and South Carolina schools before the final performance at TFAC on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. Two student casts, one from South Carolina and one from North Carolina, divide the scheduled school performances, but several cast members use the touring opportunity funded by Duke Energy Foundation to develop technical and backstage skills in addition to performing. North Carolina cast members Tij D’oyen, Alexa Hughes and Sara Seagle support their SC counterparts by running sound and lights, running props and assisting with moving the set from venue to venue. All three have worked

with the tour in previous seasons. “Having these touring veterans helps facilitate this complicated undertaking. They not only know the idiosyncrasies of each venue, they understand what is required and are strong leaders as well as support for our new cast members,” said Director Marianne Carruth. When asked to comment on his multiple years’ experience with “the tour,” Tij D’oyen said. “These shows give me so much pleasure — being able to bring theater to kids who otherwise might never see it. I'm so interested in this that I'm actually writing my senior thesis on theater education!” According to Alexa Hughes, “The traveling show is a great opportunity. For me the best part is getting to work so closely with others, and getting to work so (Continued on page 21)

Little confidence in government dealing with land To the editor: The 2007 survey by the visioning committee has been cited as proof that the majority of the county wants the MRPO and/or UDO.

conditions as their answer. This has been put forth as evidence that the majority of the county is overwhelmingly in support of the MRPO. Going deeper into the answers and the numbers indicate something else. Here are the facts of the survey and response pertaining to protecting mountain views. 12,100 surveys mailed out 2,553 surveys returned 21.1 percent return rate 68.5 percent dissatisfied 21.7 percent satisfied 7.3 percent no opinion While 68.5 percent is a majority of responses, it is by no means

a majority of the county as it has been represented by some. The survey does not seem to take into consideration that one person could be dissatisfied by too few regulations and another by too many. Two opposite view points could be grouped under the same answer. A situation such as this would leave the meaning of the answer undeterminable. There is one other answer in the survey that caught my attention, but I have never heard it brought up by supporters of the MRPO. That would be the section of question eight that asks how much confi-

dence those surveyed had in Polk County government making land use decisions. The answers to that question were: 4 percent great deal of confidence 37.2 percent some confidence 33.6 percent very little confidence 18.5 percent no confidence So, since the majority of dissatisfied is pointed out on protecting mountain views, why not point out that 52.1 percent of the same respondents have little to no confidence in our county government making these decisions. - Jeff Bradley, Saluda

“The unique experience of a traveling show is invaluable to an aspiring actor. Trust is vital in every performance, but its necessity is magnified for a traveling show," Seagle said. "Learning that level of trust, as well as the flexibility required to perform at various

venues is beneficial not only for this show, but any future ones as well. I'm sure that even those not pursuing theatre as a career will find these values more than worth their while.” For more tour information or a study guide for this produc-

tion, please call 828-859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org. Sunday’s performance at Tryon Fine Arts Center is free. Located on Melrose Avenue, TFAC has been a center for participation in the visual and performing arts for more than 43 years.

Just one simple step can help save your life and the lives of those around you by changing and testing the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. Glassy Mountain Fire Chief Bryan G. Riebe urges people to do so when they change their clocks back on Nov. 4 Glassy Mountain Fire Department joins with Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs for the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® campaign marking its 25th anniversary to save lives and prevent needless injuries. The program urges all Americans to adopt the simple, lifesaving habit to change smoke alarm and carbon monoxide detector batteries when daylight savings ends and we change clocks back on Sunday, Nov. 4. The International Association of Fire Chiefs reports that communities nationwide witness

tragic home fire deaths each year, but everyone can work together to help reduce the number of home fire fatalities. Approximately every three hours a home fire death occurs somewhere in the nation and 66 percent of those occur in homes without working smoke alarms. The commonly cited cause of nonworking smoke alarms is worn or missing batteries. “Peak alarm times for home fire deaths is between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most families are sleeping,” said Riebe. “Smoke alarm maintenance is a simple, effective way to reduce home fire deaths. Children and senior citizens are most at risk, and a working smoke alarm can give them the extra seconds they need to get out safely.” – article submitted by Sharyn Arnold

As a voter... Did You Know… Polk County property taxes were last raised in 2005. Tom Pack, Republican commissioner candidate, voted to raise taxes by 15% that year. That was the only budget, out of 6, he ever voted for. Prior to that, because Republican commissioners had failed to plan and save for known future needs, they ended up increasing the county debt to over $27 million. At the same time, they were increasing the size and cost of county government. After losing his bid for re-election in 2008, as one of his last acts on the Board, Tom Pack voted to spend $95,000 on 2 acres of steep land without water or sewer that the county engineer had advised against. The Park Street property, which was put under contract for purchase without ever being discussed in public, is now county owned and growing weeds. Before 2007, Polk County had 15 county managers in 30 years. This turnover has cost taxpayers dearly. For example, when Republican commissioners fired the county manager in 2004, it cost taxpayers $75,000 for his severance package. This year’s Republican commissioner candidates are Tea Party Activists, who proudly carry that movement’s flag at county events. Polk County needs cooperative, respectful leaders, not political obstruction and divisiveness.

Wolfe pursues art of sculpture through St. John the Baptist Church by Barbara Childs

Jacob Wolfe of Tryon did most of the Byzantine woodwork in the church of St. John

the Baptist in Tryon. Recently he was commissioned to sculpt a Divine Mercy statue of Christ for Barbara

GeorgeAlleyForNCHouse

Buffinton of Gillette Woods in Tryon. The sculpture was placed in her English garden with a medieval stone dome and pillars. The work is a tribute to the heavenly art Wolfe has dedicated himself to creating. The biggest inspiration for this great work of art is God, Wolfe said, and how God works through people. Wolfe said he would never have finished this project without the trust and faith of all involved. “God always managed to give me a helping hand, and it was the courage of those people that allowed God to work through them in an inspiring way,” said Wolfe. This project of sculpting the Divine Mercy statue took more than one year. The statue was cast with a mixture of white Portland cement, and the dome and pillar bases are also made of concrete. For this kind of work it was necessary to make your own tools, templates, and forms. The grotto in Buffinton’s garden sets in a beautifully wooded environment with concrete pavers and rock walls. Wolfe made the hands and feet of the statue with great

care and attentive detail. He said he learned that hands could become a focal point if they are visible so they deserve more attention. Wolfe's goal is to keep creating beautiful sculpture for the church and its people. His belief is that sculpture is not based on emotions or subject matter; nor is it based on materials, but its sole purpose is to lift one's mind, body and spirit to the divine artist, he said. Wolfe has already accepted more commissions for his work. He says he never stops learning about good sculpture in the church. He said his sculpture business will adopt Michelangelo's motto: "semper imparo," meaning learn more. So many people in Tryon were involved in making the Divine Mercy project come true, especially Buffington, the inspiration of the project. Wolfe's mentor, William Behrends of Tryon, was imperative during this project as well. His guiding wisdom and experience on the essence of anatomy and proportion in sculpture and design were all priceless in making the artwork a reality, Wolfe said.

INVESTIGATION LONG AGO COMPLETED RESPONSE TO DAVID MOORE’S AD IN WEDNESDAY’S PAPER I take strong issue with David Moore’s ad in Wednesday’s Bulletin implying there was anything improper about my communications with Mike Egan, then serving as a legal consultant to the Planning Board. The communications consisted of comments and suggestions with respect to the legal text of land use ordinances then being considered and drafted by the Planning Board. I was a citizen proponent and one of the authors of two of those ordinances. I was working jointly with Mr. Egan in revising and clarifying them. This matter has previously been the the subject of an investigation. It was started by Tom Pack in connection with the 2010 election, possibly with the collaboration (and certainly with the full knowledge) of Tommy Melton. I provided a full explanation to both Mr. Pack and Mr. Melton at the time. Neither, to my knowledge, chose to pursue the matter. And there was no reason for them to do so. Nonetheless, at the time of Mr. Pack’s investigation, and out of an abundance of caution, my wife consulted the School of Government in Chapel Hill about the matter. Two School of Government faculty members concurred that there was utterly nothing improper about my communications with Mr. Egan. Both independently volunteered that Mr. Pack’s investigation appeared to be “just politics”; one wryly added about my volunteer activity that “no good deed goes unpunished.” Mr. Moore’s ad is still another unjustified effort on behalf of my wife’s Republican opponents in this election to discredit her. I regret that Mr. Moore and the Tryon Daily Bulletin chose to publish the ad without first consulting me or Mr. Egan. Jim McDermott This advertisement was paid for by Jim McDermott

my time. A call came in about Hershey, a female Cocker mix who’d been struck by a car. The cute little thing was slightly past a year old, was in pain and had severe damage to her right eye. I met the owner and her friend at Landrum vet and promised her owner Lennie’s Fund would handle it. I always ask to remember my kids in the future so that I may help others. Hershey had to have her eye removed but she’ll be fine. While under we had her spayed and brought her up to date on all her shots along with heartworm testing. She is home now and doing well and except for the purposes of this story, she probably would have been one I never told about. Meanwhile Roscoe is doing great up at Dogwood Farms, he never messes his kennel area and loves being outside with other dogs. I left word with Josh and Astrid that I would gladly get a doggie door installed for him and even a little outside house if an adopter needed it. I left the same word with Landrum vet and Lori Jewell at Pet Tender Angels. Lori asked me to send her photos and info on Roscoe and she would place him in her network. I haven’t done that yet because I had another idea. I instead went to visit some dear old friends, Cindy and Ray Norden. The Nordens have a farm, a great group of older dogs (each a rescue) and a doggie door. I so enjoy visiting this sweet prayerful couple and their wonderful dogs, who sense the love I hold for them and shower me with attention. The Nordens were not prepared to add a young frisky dog to their group but they promised to help spread the word and to visit Roscoe and perhaps help with his training. True to their word they were there the very next day. They called and told me that Roscoe is cute, lovable and very trainable. “He’s a smart dog,” Ray said. “He picks up commands

Let me tell you about Loretta. She is a typical older Lab mix and nothing like the other dogs I’ve mentioned. She is quiet, unassuming, and very loving, but the type that often gets passed over at the shelter. She is currently receiving heartworm treatment and the outlook for her wasn’t very bright. The Nordens fell in love and took her back to their farm where she walked the

Over training can happen One of my duties as a master personal trainer is to help motivate people to make healthy changes to their bodies. There are, however, times when too much motivation might work against you. Many people still feel that, “hey, if I'm getting good results with a little fitness training, I'll get great results if I train even more.” I’ve even known personal trainers who knew better, to over train. Just what is over training anyway? Over training is a condition where one's exercise behavior exceeds their ability to recover. There are two ways many individuals over train. They either work out too much per day, or they train too many times a week. Some of the symptoms of training too much include pain in muscles and joints, washed out tired feel-

the gym as passive, but as an active part of their routine. Another ing, headache, insomnia and even trap not to fall into is the “well, loss of interest in training at all.

Relishing life in the fall "In many shamanic societies, if you came to a shaman or medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions. When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence? Where we have stopped dancing, singing, being enchanted by stories, or finding comfort in silence is where we have experience the loss of soul. Dancing, singing, storytelling, and silence are the four universal healing salves." ~ Gabrielle Roth Simple fall pleasures: gathering gold, russet, scarlet leaves, watching them float on peaceful water; frost-kissed persimmons, fresh morning coffee steaming hot to

How to write your own will Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some good do-it-yourself resources to help me write my will? At age 62, I want to get my affairs organized, but I hate paying a high-priced attorney fee if I can do it myself. ~ Don’t Have Much Dear Don’t, If you have a simple, straightforward estate and an uncomplicated family situation, writing your own will – with the help of a good do-it-yourself guide – is a viable alternative to hiring an attorney and a whole lot cheaper. Here are some good resources to help you get started. Computer required: There are a number of computer software products and online resources available today that can help you create your own will very easily, and they usually take less than an hour from start to finish. Like tax software, these tools will guide you through a series of questions and will insert your answers into a will for you. But, you’ll need a computer to use them. Some good options to check out include: Quicken WillMaker Plus 2013: This is a comprehensive estate planning software product that’s very user-friendly. It lets you create customized wills for an unlimited number of people, along with other important documents like financial powers of attorney, health care directives, executor documents, final arrangements and more. And once you’re finished, you can store your documents on your computer and update them as needed, and you can print them out on paper. Available in downloadable or CD format at nolo.com, this software works only with Windows operating systems and is valid in every state except Louisiana. Rocket Lawyer: This is an online resource – available at rocketlawyer.com – that helps you create a will, trust, power of attorney and dozens of other legal documents in every state. They start by offering a free seven-day trial period so you can actually make one document

for free. They even provide annual members free legal reviews of their document and free phone assistance with an attorney. LegalZoom: Available online at legalzoom.com, this site makes wills, trusts, powers of attorney, petprotection agreements and many other documents. After you create your will, or other documents, they double-check them for spelling and grammar mistakes (but not for legal issues) and mail you a printed copy in about a week to 10 days. No computer necessary: If you don’t have a home computer or Internet access, a good resource to turn to is the “Quick & Legal Will Book” sold by Nolo. This guide provides forms and step-by-step instructions that can help you make a basic will that meets your needs. To order a copy, call 800-728-3555. Hire a lawyer: It’s also important to know that if you have a complicated financial situation, blended family or if you have considerable assets, you need to hire a lawyer to write your will. An experienced lawyer can make sure you cover all your bases, which can help avoid family confusion and squabbles after you’re gone. The National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela.org) and the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (naepc.org) websites are good resources that have directories to help you find someone in your area. Costs will vary depending on your situation and location, but you can expect to pay somewhere between $200 and $1,000 to get your will made. If money is tight, check with your state’s bar association (see findlegalhelp.org) to find low-cost legal help in your area. Or call the Eldercare Locater at 800-677-1116 for a referral. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, Okla. 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

What’s broken is the pollution of the water source, not the glass or the spigot. Is the institution or tradition that we are really conserving one of laziness and denial, one that passes the problem on to another generation while designing a new product that circumvents the problem, at a profit? Is it our tradition of getting a job and making a living regardless of what that job is doing to our country or environment? Is it our American tradition that the best jobs are the

ones that make a lot of money, whether it benefits our society or our souls? One thing has come out of this political season loud and clear: It’s all about the money. The only American value that was discussed at the four debates was money and power, with money being at the top of the list. I am conservative, and I will go on record as saying that it is not all about the money. Life in America is about clean air, and water, and trees that swing with the wind, and the stranger who waves to you as you pass on the road, and the $10/hour worker who helps clear our trails, and the coyote who howls at night, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you are where you are supposed to be, here at home. I implore us all to vote for our environment and our home. What really matters may not be the money.

Polk hosts East Rutherford in first round of playoffs by Fulton Hampton

Bouncing back after a last regular season loss is always difficult. Coming back from one that was as important and as close as the Hendersonville game (2820) makes it even tougher. Polk County Head Football Coach Bruce Ollis, however, views the playoffs as the team’s “fourth season.” “We have to put that behind us, we are going into the playoffs undefeated. We will be playing a talented East Rutherford team. They are a very fast physical team. But they have been kind of up and down they won four of six, then they lost four in a row. They beat Chase in overtime this past Friday so they will be coming in a on a high.” Coach said the Wolverines would pull inspiration from another successful Polk team. “I feel good about our team’s chances in the playoffs. We are kind of using the volleyball team as something to aspire to; they lost their last regular season game to Hendersonville, a tough loss for them, but they put that behind them and ended up making it to the state finals playing for the Western Regional Title,”

A hard-nosed gang tackling defense as shown here against Hndersonville will be critical to Polk's success in the playoffs. (photo by Jane Ollis)

Ollis said. “We have talked about that as a football team, the fact that they had a very difficult loss at the end of the season and they

were able to come back and make a great run in the playoffs,” he said. “We would love to do something like. We are hoping a lot of people will come out

to support the Wolverine and we are looking forward to the game.” Game time is 7:30 p.m. at The Little Big House.

Landrum High Cardinals face Saluda, S.C. in state playoffs The Landrum Cardinals head to Saluda, S.C. tonight to face the Tigers in the first round of state playoffs. The Tigers, under Coach Wayne Bell, carry a 5-5 record

so far this year. Landrum’s regular season play ended with three wins and seven losses. Despite having the league's leading rusher in Aaron Bryant (367 yards) and leading receiver

in Sam Parsons (26 catches for 491 yards) the Cardinals have struggled to pull out a win since they toppled Pendleton Sept. 28. If Landrum pulls out a win tonight, they would keep them-

selves in the running and face off against Abbeville Friday, Nov. 9. Saluda beat Abbeville earlier in the year, 21-7. The Abbeville Panthers have an overall record of 9-2 this year.

three composers to life. I was disappointed that this particular chamber music experience was not uniformly good from start to finish, though I did have a fine time imagining an optimal effort. The string quartets of Joseph Haydn, like his symphonies, are plentiful, innovative and timeless. To open with any one of them is a sure thing.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was never sure if someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect pitch was superseding relative pitch, or vice versa, or if they had had too much fun enroute to little old Tryon that day." -- Rita E. Landrum

Barely Heard through a number of homophonic passages. Intonation difficulties popped up here and there in several imitative sections, as well as during the first singing viola line. I was never sure if someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect pitch was superseding relative pitch, or vice versa, or if they had had too much fun enroute to little old Tryon that day. Their decisive, yet folksy rendition of the third movement was redemptive and was one of the high points of the evening for me. The only entire piece I consider a success was Antonin Dvorakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;String Quartet No. 9 in D minor, Op. 34.â&#x20AC;? Filled with the influences of Czech folk music, it begs for overdone schmaltz, so I was grateful for the ensembleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s considered restraint. This allowed me to enjoy my vision of ladies in colorful skirts twirling to the sound of happy musicians in open vests without having the whole scene degenerate into â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dancing With The Stars in Regional Costumes.â&#x20AC;? Dvorakâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music is a complex and continuous blend of serious and light. To lean too far in either direction can sound like amateur actors reading Shakespeare. Congratulations to the quartet for this definitive performance. Sadly, and for the first time in my life, I was bored during Brahms.

Driven to distraction Depending on the way you look at it, I was either a terrible or magnificent driver while I lived in California. Traffic was so hair-pullingly grid-locked most of the time that I had a shameless talent for darting in and out of lanes like a dragonfly on diet pills - desperate just to actually be moving. It was also the only time in my life that I felt on even footing with the very rich because, when particularly bored after a half hour of mere idling, I would stare at the driver halted next to me in his throbbing Ferrari, choking on his own exhaust, and chirp, "That's a cool car!" To this, I would receive a barely acknowledged nod of his moussed head. "Bet it cost a bundle!" A slight smirk. Then I moved in for the kill. "And here you are, going the

turned west on Sunset and was well out of view. Now I avoided the motorcycle but couldn't miss the jagged piece of debris that pierced the front left tire. When you know you're about to have a blowout, you have far more time to prepare. I could hear the whistle of air screaming its release, took my foot off the gas and coasted to the emergency lane as the Hyundai tried with all its might to pull left. "Have we broken down?" Mom wanted to know. "You didn't see the motorcycle?" I asked, incredulous. "No, dear." "We've got a flat." "Oh! Well, at least it's a nice day and there's a lovely breeze." "That's the air conditioner." "I see. Where shall we have lunch?" Mindful of horrible videos where stranded motorists get hit by some inattentive driver and not about to make my elderly mother walk with me to the exit just ahead, I phoned Paul for help and we limped along, revolution by revolution as I was terrified of ruining the car's rims, and arrived at the top of the exit 30 minutes later, where we came to a stop and waited. "Have we broken down?" "We have a flat tire." "Well, at least it's a lovely day. There's such a nice breeze." Thinking hard, I decided I wanted to move to my Mom's world. How wonderful to feel so secure that, even though our afternoon had imploded around us, all would be well and she would be safe. Before long, Paul arrived in the truck and wrestled, with frustration, stubborn lug nuts and the jack that gave precious little room to crank upwards. I could see his temper rising and anticipated the pivotal scene out of 'A Christmas Story.' "This is such a Mickey Mouse Jack," he said hotly. "We're going to be here all day." "Well," I mused. "At least it's a lovely day." "And," said my Mom, poking her head out the passenger window. "Such a nice breeze!"

Tryon Hounds annual fall hunter pace at Meadows of Campbell Creek The Tryon Hounds annual fall hunter pace took place at the lovely Meadows of Campbell Creek off of Tugaloo Road in Gowensville, overlooking Glassy Mountain. The faithful work crew for the trails consisted of Nelson Mimmick, Master Dean McKinney, Mike Axelrod and Jordan Hicks, and two Kobotas. There was even chain saw art done on location from a fallen tree. A sturdy jump better than 3 feet was constructed. The work on the trails took about eight hours of trimming and marking and was 9 miles long. Mike and Roberta Axelrod rode the course for optimum time at one hour and 23 minutes. Anita Williamson once again was the timer in Joey Cabiness’ absence, sending riders out and timing their arrival back. Anne Pierce checked in 111 riders, giving them numbers and seeing proof of Coggins testing. While all of this (Continued on page 55)

was going on Nelson Mimmick, Dean McKinney, Richard Pierce and Justin Williamson were kept busy directing parking. As late morning rolled in Master Kerry Holmberg and huntsman Jordan Hicks fired up the grill preparing for the hungry riders. Delicious slaw, baked beans and chips complimented the hamburgers and hot dogs – yummy cookies and drinks topped it off. Joan Wescott Sweet graciously served the food, while Jen Jordan oversaw that all supplies were available. The very fact that we can enjoy this activity in the great out of doors is directly related to the generosity and good wishes of the landowners who have given their generous permission to ride over their properties. Riders passed through or just outside the properties of Madelon Wallace, Jan and Norm Petersen, Joe Henson, then the Henson family landowners near Highway 11 and trail that leads to the new “chain saw jump,” Kevin and Michele Sumner, formerly Chicky Brown Farm and their inviting jumps; and then by Richard Kulger on to the corner of Campbell-Tugaloo. Riders crossed Eric and Mary Eberins’ on the corner; on to Mary Wall Hendersons, and Penny Dean, cross Penny’s driveway into the woods, and then down into the tomato field.

Leck and Jim Sumrall. Instructed, they cross back over Campbell Road and down Lovers Lane to Susie Mercks land, taking them to the top of the hill past Tom and Vickey Jackson. Continuing on, they came to the double bridges, one being newly named “the devil’s bridge” due to a glitch happening on the trail marking. Soon we are near Red Horse Inn, Mary Walters and into a field with a view – Ed and Noreen Cotheran. After catching their breath from the view they headed for home – crossing back to Tugaloo to Stone house, and being checked in at the finish line where Anita Williamson was waiting. Results: Shauna Moore won the special wings after flying the course in under an hour. Moore and her speedy steed took the course in 56 minutes, three seconds. The optimum time for the field hunter division was one hour, 23 minutes and was won by Amy Gantt and Lisa Tyler, both of Seneca, who came in a slim three seconds over that optimum. In second place was the Tennessee trio of Sara Riggins of Piney Flats, Reta Robbins of Johnson City and Amy Shanahan, of Bluntville, with a ride time of one hour, 20 minutes, 11 seconds. Baiba Bourbeau of Tryon and Beatrice Lamb of Columbus took third place honors with a ride time just three minutes, 32 seconds over the optimum. Emily Mitchell of Greer and Julie Phillips rode the course in one hour, 28 minutes, 54 seconds to earn Fourth Place. Fifth

was taken by Beth Goldizen of Roebuck and April Mink of Mill Spring who were five minutes, 54 seconds over the optimum. Calvin Halford and Anitra Peterson, both from Columbus, earned sixth place with a ride time of one hour, 33 minutes, eight seconds. The calculated optimum time for the trail rider division was two hours, 17 minutes, 23 seconds. Nancy Finkell and Bobby Turner, both from Spartanburg, took first place honors with a ride time of two hours, 19 minutes, 13 seconds. Second place went to Susan and Fred Knickerbocker of Bristol, Tenn. with a ride time just two minutes, three seconds under the optimum. Sheila and Michael Veach of Tryon, rode the course in two hours, 20 minutes, 44 seconds for third place. Fourth place goes to Lin Martin of Campobello, S.C. who was just four minutes, 16 seconds under the calculated optimum. Lani Hasselbring of Tryon and Nancy Hasselbring of Columbus, earned the pink ribbons with a ride time of two hours, 22 minutes.
