Polk High teachers compete in Mud Run Five Polk County High School teachers participated in the 17th Annual Marine Mud Run in Columbia, S.C., held Sept. 25. With more than 3,600 teams, the Marine Mud Run is now the largest “Mud Run” in North America. All teams are made up of four participants, with several categories of competition (all men, all women, co-ed, military, police, corporate, etc). The “Mud Buds” team #1058, made up of two teachers, Cindi McFadden and Jenny Wolfe, teamed with Sharon Orr and Lacey Saltz (McFadden’s sisters) to finish the 4.5-mile obstacle course in one hour and 13 minutes, earning them 14th place out of 505 women’s teams. Three other teachers, Heather Claussen, Craig Claussen and Rachel Hall, teamed with Polk student Abigail Hall to compete in the co-ed division. Jenny Wolfe’s sons, Jacob and Jared Wolfe, participated in the Kid’s Polliwog Mud Run. This event raises money for scholarships and aid for family members of fallen Marines.

Grant helps Polk residents repair, rebuild their homes by Leah Justice

A grant is currently helping five Polk County homeowners make needed repairs and one Tryon resident demolish and rebuild his home. Polk County was awarded $400,000 ($333,000 for rehab and demolition) in 2008 through the Polk County Community Development Block Grant Scattered Site Housing Project.

The funds were awarded specifically to be used to complete substantial housing repairs on five homes and to demolish and replace one unit for low income homeowners who reside in Polk County. Homes that are being addressed were selected at the time of the grant

One man's trash is another's treasure Once upon a time, not

so long ago, a local couple

happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more. Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store. At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale! The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.

completed the cross-country course and stadium jumping. They ended up high point!

St. Luke’s Hospital has announced that Jason Sain has joined the hospital's staff as information systems analyst, intermediate. Sain has a strong background in the implementation and management of hospital information services. His expertise lies in the analysis, design and implementation of connected networks. He received his bachelor of science in computer science from Limestone College. Most recently, Sain worked for Michelin IBM in the IT department. “I want to see St. Luke’s Hospital as connected as larger hospitals,” says Sain. “This will allow St. Luke’s to be more competitive. This will also help my co-workers to be as efficient as possible with little downtime due to computer malfunction. I’m excited to be able to implement the latest technology for healthcare at St. Luke’s.” Sain will be working alongside David Pearson, information services director. “I am very pleased that Jason’s prior experiences have allowed him to come on board and immediately begin supporting our end-user community at St. Luke’s," Pearson says. "Jason has thus far been an asset in reducing information services response times, which in turn improves services to our patients. His knowledge and troubleshooting skills have already made a noticeable and positive impact for information services at St. Luke’s facilities.” Sain, who graduated from Polk County High School, resides in Green Creek with his wife, Carla, and their five children, Madolyn, Olivia, Clayton, Josiah and Phoebe. When not working, Sain and his family enjoy motorcross, church events and spending time with family and friends.

“I’m excited to have a job that feels like home. I’ve wanted to move to the medical field with IT support and what better place to do that! I’m close to home, working with people I know, in a community I love,” says Sain. St. Luke’s Hospital is a not for profit, acute care hospital affiliated with Carolinas HealthCare System of Charlotte, N.C., for specialized management expertise, experience with developing strong community-based clinical services, and participation in revenue and purchasing contracts. CHS is the largest healthcare system in the Carolinas and the third largest public system in the nation.

*** Village Insurance Agency, which has been in Tryon since 1968, is getting a new name: Penny Insurance Agency. Judy Placak, agency manager, says she wants people to know that nothing is changing but the name. "We've been a member of the Penny insurance family since 1990, so changing our name reflects that relationship." A new sign and a grand reopening celebration will be coming soon.

Molasses was one of the money crops Working for the past nine years, Beauford Arledge, 84, gathered his memories into a book that only he could write, “The Stories of the Green River Cove.” With permission, the Tryon Daily Bulletin is sharing excerpts from the book with our readers. If you would like to purchase a copy of “Stories of the Green River Cove” and read the entire book for yourself, call Arledge’s daughter, Susan Howell, at 894-3724 to order a copy. Molasses making time The money crops around the house were sweet potatoes and molasses. When the fall of the year came, and the weather began to get cool, we knew molasses making wasn’t long off. This had to be done before frost came, as frost beaten cane wasn’t good for molasses. Wood was a problem as it had to be dry to cook the cane juice. Lots of times my Dad waited to the last minute to get the wood and this meant going up in the mountains to find old dead trees. Saw milling had come along and large slab piles had been left at the site. He was able to use them, cutting them up and hauling them to the molasses making site. The cane mill had to be set up. A three roller mill was pulled by mules or horses. I guess it was hard on the animals to walk around the circle all day long. But we didn’t have much of a choice. We needed two animals to take time about pulling the mill, and would change them about every two hours to let them rest. The furnace for the molasses pan had to be worked on to make sure it was ready for boiling the molasses. Out in the field the cane had to be cut down, the fodder pulled off the stalk, and the head cut off. Then it was ready to be hauled to the mill to grind the juice out. Usually a day of molasses making would begin about three o’clock in the morning with

grinding the cane. By daylight we would have enough juice to fill the pan and start the fire. It was usually eleven o’clock in the morning before every thing warmed up enough to get the molasses going good. One person to grind the cane, one to keep the fire going under the pan, and one to boil the juice into molasses. Of course, there were many other jobs to be done. Anyone passing by usually could find something to do if he was anxious to work. By late after noon every one was getting tired, and we tried to close down by night fall. Light to work by was a problem, as this was years before electric power was brought to this area. Cleaning up the pan, carrying cane to the mill for next morning, taking the molasses to the house---by about nine- thirty, the day finally came to a close. Christmas time Christmas time was the time of year that took a long time to come. When we were small, we would hang our stockings on each side of the fire place. Looking for old Saint Nick was a little bit misleading. But we didn’t mind that since we got a stocking full of oranges,

apples and candy, maybe a big peppermint stick and a toy. Santa Claus had been here. My Mother, along with Grace and Nelma, would decorate the house. They would take different colored paper, cut out and make chains and bells, and hang them in the house. Holly and mistletoe were put in the windows and on the mantle. And we just hoped a big snow would come. When I think of the hill going down to the spring, I can’t help but remember one special Christmas. We didn’t usually get much, but this Christmas we got a big red wagon. It had dual wheels on the back and a wooden bed with side boards. It was something to look at. On Christmas Day we gathered in the yard, and would take turns riding down the hill through the branch. It was a little rough, but we didn’t mind that. We found it more fun for two or three of us to ride at a time. By the end of the day the front wheels had come loose and we never could repair it. Looking back over time, we really had a good day, I have often wondered if Mother and Dad felt they had spent their money wisely. Money was hard to get in those days.

Letter to the Editor

Memories, perceptions and goals often change To the Editor: I have some tough things to say in this letter. But it’s very important that the voters know and understand them. I do not take pleasure in writing them. If Polk County government is a “hotbed of political activity”, it is because Warren Watson and Tommy Melton have been using it as a platform to advance their otherwise aimless campaigns. Before switching to unaffiliated status, they worked pretty well with us who remain Democrats. Nearly all of our votes were unanimous. Communication was pretty good, although Mr. Watson never was all that good about returning telephone calls. Each of us talked with Mr. Melton regularly, but he always has seemed to enjoy “hiding the ball” from other commissioners and surprising them by “springing things” on them at the last minute at meetings. It’s clear that as soon as they became unaffiliated, both became overwhelmingly political, playing everything for all it was worth and making up controversy where none need, or should, exist. I certainly agree that compromise can often result in a win-win situation. But it’s also true that the two unaffiliated candidates no longer, or seldom, compromise on anything, or offer any compromises. In fact, Mr. Watson, himself, directly gives the lie to the main proposition in his recent letter. He’s trying to argue that a split board works best together, but he admits that since he and Mr. Melton bolted the Democratic Party, things have deteriorated, not improved. Maybe split boards don’t work

as well as Mr. Watson nostalgically imagines. Mr. Watson stated in his letter that the County Manager told him that he doesn’t think he’ll ever work for a more productive board than the prior board. I specifically asked the County Manager if he said that. The County Manager stated that he did not recall ever having said such a thing, adding that he tries to stay out of the politics of the various commissioners. It simply wouldn’t make sense for the County Manager to boost one commissioner to the detriment of another. Mr. Watson again has suggested in his letter that when he was a Democrat, the party “leadership” told him what to do. In fact, he was an important part of that party leadership, serving on the Democratic Executive Committee. But the idea of the party leadership telling him what to do is a figment of his imagination. When I ran for office in 2008, I repeatedly asked Mr. Watson every way I knew how whether the Democratic Party gave him instructions or in any way told him what to do. I would not have run for office if Mr. Watson had told me what he’s saying now. Rather, in answer to my questions, Mr. Watson told me, repeatedly and unequivocally, that no, he was never given instructions or told what to do. Mr. Watson, why would you have told me that if it hadn’t been true? I can say without reservation that, since I have been in office, neither the Democratic leadership, nor the Democratic Party, has told me what to do or given me instructions. I am sure my Democratic colleagues, Cindy Walker and Ray Gasperson, would truthfully say the same. The Democratic Party and Democratic leadership are surely not more interested in what is best for the party than

what is best for the county, as Mr. Watson claims. That is a vile thing to say. He has no basis in fact for saying it. I have seen absolutely no evidence of it. Mr. Melton used to brag that “he had a mole in the Democratic party.” Of course, that mole was Mr. Watson. Maybe that’s why Mr. Watson stayed in the Democratic party right up to the last filing date for party candidacy, leading people to believe he was going to run again as a Democratic candidate until (he expected) there would be no time left to field another candidate. It was no problem that Mr. Watson was “the mole.” Pretty much everyone knew it. But nobody cared or tried to stop it, as we had (and have) nothing to hide. Mr. Melton left the Democratic Party soon after some Democrats asked him to act according to a higher ethical standard than he was prepared to do. When I talked to him about this, he told me that “I will not change my behavior just because I’m a commissioner.” I told him I disagreed, and thought that we commissioners must conduct ourselves according to a higher standard. Mr. Melton said to me some months ago that he “will destroy the Democratic party” in Polk County. That’s his obsession. And Mr. Watson has shown, through his change in affiliation and unusually close ties with Mr. Melton, including joining him in most every vote as a commissioner, his attempting to block the Democratic Party from adopting its own code of ethics, and his making repeated untrue charges against the Democratic Party and Democratic commissioners, that he joins Mr. Melton in that inappropriate goal. Regrettably, that’s what this is all about. Are these the people you want making decisions for Polk County? – Renée McDermott

Steps to HOPE brings awareness to the issue of domestic violence in Oct. Editor’s Note: In recognition of October, National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, Steps to HOPE has submitted the following to bring awareness to the issue of domestic violence. To My Abuser, Once I was a happy person; I loved life, had fun, and was filled with self confidence and pride. How did I get here? Back then – not so long ago – I could not have imagined my life with you would look like this. I have a faded memory of our beginning together but today it is clouded with resentment, fear, desperation and despair. What did I do to deserve this? Who are you? I don’t know you

anymore. I am forbidden to go out in public without you. I have no vehicle, no access to money, a cell phone that you take with you. When you allow me to talk to family or friends, you sit next to me listening to every word; I am very careful because I know the consequences of a wrong word spoken. I am bruised internally and externally, but no one knows because I live in isolation, in this world created by you. You have threatened to kill me if I try to leave you. Will I be the next statistic? If you or someone you know is in danger, Steps to HOPE can help. Call Steps to HOPE at 828-894-2340, 24-hours a day. – article submitted

Magnolia House relocating Mon. Magnolia House is relocating to its new facility on Monday, October 4. Operated by Family Preservation Services of NC, Inc., Magnolia House provides services based on the principles of recovery which emphasize client choice and involvement, learning to live as independently as possible, developing natural and community supports, and practicing dignity and respect. The program serves adults in Polk and Rutherford counties. The new facility, located at 363 Railroad Ave. in Rutherfordton, will provide full access to all areas of the

building. The floor plan is designed with client services in mind – featuring two classrooms, large multipurpose room, and a library. Magnolia House was originally located at 381 West Main Street in Forest City and started with grant funding obtained by Sandy Padgett, Leslie Huntley, and Georgia Foster – each of whom remain active advocates for mental health services in the area. The program was moved to 475 West Main Street and has continued to operate out of that facility for about 13 years until this move. – article submitted

‘Home From the Hunt’ advises on crossbow hunting safety With crossbows now legal for hunting in North Carolina, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission’s Home From The Hunt campaign recommends some safety guidelines. “Many of the safety considerations for using a crossbow are the same as a longbow or compound bow,” said Travis Casper, state assistant hunting education coordinator. “Or even a rifle, for that matter. Hunting safety is exercising caution, following manufacturer’s instructions, obeying regulations and putting into practice what you’ve learned in hunter education, no matter what you’re using.” As with any method of hunting, always point your crossbow in a safe direction; only shoot after positively identifying your target and what’s beyond it. Know your crossbow’s capabilities and limitations, Casper advised. He also stressed: • Never carry a crossbow cocked and loaded with an arrow. • Keep fingers and thumb below the rail at all times. • When cocking, be sure that your foot is firmly planted in the cocking stirrup. • Never dry-fire a crossbow

(firing without an arrow can cause sudden breakage). While using a tree stand, all hunters should maintain three points of contact when climbing up or down; wear a full body safety harness; and check belts, chains and attachment cords before use. With a crossbow in a tree stand, Casper said hunters should: • Cock the crossbow on the ground before climbing. • Load the crossbow only when in hunting position. • Always use a haul line to raise or lower an unloaded cross-

bow. • Keep the haul line away from the trigger mechanism – haul stock-first. • Clear away any tree branches before taking a shot. State law requires anyone buying a crossbow in North Carolina to first obtain a pistol permit from the sheriff’s office in their county of residence or hold a valid concealed handgun permit. Questions about obtaining pistol permits and issuance of concealed handgun permits should be directed to the local

sheriff’s office. The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission does not regulate the sale or purchase of firearms and crossbows. In North Carolina, all firsttime hunting license buyers must successfully complete a hunter education course, offered free across the state. Go to www. ncwildlife.org to consult the online version of the 2010-2011 N.C. Inland Fishing, Hunting and Trapping Regulations Digest or call 919-707-0031 for more information. – article submitted

Dill, principal at Saluda School, speaks to Kiwanis Club

Ronette Dill, principal at Saluda School and 2009 Principal of the Year for Western North Carolina, recently visited the Tryon Kiwanis Club to explain the Multiple Intelligence Survey to club members. People are smart in different ways - word smart, math smart, picture smart, and body smart, she said. Some people are smart in more than one way, and Dill demonstrated this by having members raise their hands when they recognized themselves as she read the description of each of the multiple intelligences, such as verbal/linguistic or math, for example. Teachers use the multiple intelligences to reach all the children in their classrooms when they are teaching. Also, each year, Saluda School has a school wide theme. This year it is “Let’s Explore” – the great outdoors, healthy habits, and how we are smart. Club members say they were impressed to learn that Saluda School is one of only 43 A+

David Little, president of the Kiwanis Club, thanked Dill for her presentation and explained that a children’s book would be donated to a local school in her honor. (photo submitted)
