Bikes for third-world caregivers Wilson leaves soon on bike trip across U.S. for Globalbike Local camp owner Jim Bob Wilson is going the extra mile to teach his campers that setting goals, trying harder and giving back will make a difference in their lives. In fact, he's going many extra miles – all the way from San Diego, CA, to Atlantic Beach, FL, on a bicyle. And he plans to do it in less than three weeks, with winter setting in and as he prepares to turn 60 years old. Wilson has partnered with a non-profit group that provides bikes to caregivers in third-world countries. Called Globalbike, the group is located in Spartanburg, SC. The caregivers use the bikes provided by Globalbike to (Continued on page 6)

Polk gets favorable audit Fund balance up to 35.4 percent by Leah Justice

Polk County added another $731,543 to its savings last fiscal year to end with an unrestricted fund balance of $7,058,899 available for spending. The Polk County Board of Commissioners Monday reviewed the audit report for fiscal year 2009-2010, which

ended June 30. Dan Yelton of Gould Killian CPA Group, P.S., presented details of the audit Monday and the county officially accepted the report. “The fund balance is higher and has been higher for the past five years than other peer counties,” Yelton told commissioners. Yelton also said the county’s tax collection rate has been higher than the county’s peer counties throughout

reach families in outlying areas that otherwise would have to wait much longer to get medical or other care they need. Wilson leaves from San Diego on Thanksgiving day and will hopefully arrive in Atlantic Beach, FL, by Dec. 12. There will be a celebration party on his arrival in Florida and then another in Spartanburg, SC, on Dec. 18. Curt McPhail, director of Globalbike.org, said, “This Trek Across America by Jim Bob Wilson and his Camp Wayfarer family is the epitome of what Globalbike is all about. We are out there trying to help others by raising awareness. It is never too early to teach children that they can make a difference. Jim Bob’s campers will remember this and their contribution to his efforts. Becoming a part of something bigger than you can be life changing. That is what Mr. Wilson is going to do for us and for others. We are incredibly thankful for his and Camp Wayfarer’s efforts.” As the owner of a summer camp, Wilson has experience helping to mold youth of today. “My wife Nancy and I work hard every summer to instill the values of mental, physical, spiritual, and social ideals.

the state for a number of years. Polk’s tax collection rate was 96.3 percent last year, with peer groups averaging around 95 percent over the past few years. Peer counties are counties in the state similar in size, or with populations less than 25,000. Polk County collected $13,700,074 in taxes for fiscal year 2009-2010 with a total of $14,224,791 billed and $524,717 uncollected as of June 30, 2010. Polk’s prior year tax collection rate was 96.9 percent, with $13,713,304 billed and $429,578 uncollected as of June 30, 2009, according to the audit.

very important to us that we use the moments we have while the campers are in our camp community to teach life lessons and to help those beyond self. We hope they leave our family and return to their family enriched and enlightened ” Wilson has partnered with his campers to raise both funds and awareness for Globalbike. Each camper is responsible for a specific day during Wilson's trek. They, not their parents, must sign the commitment card for that day. They are encouraged to follow Jim Bob’s trek and to send an uplifting ‘thought for the day’ e-mail on their assigned date and if possible, to sponsor Wilson by the mile. The children are encouraged to do the giving, with a penny a mile the initial goal. So far the campers have already donated more than $1,000, and the assigned donation dates haven’t started yet. Wilson and the camp have set a goal of 50 bikes for Globalbike, at $150 per bike. It's a tough goal, Wilson said, but he feels certain that they will reach that by the end of his trek. His more “global” hope is that this project will encourage other camps, schools and churches to do the same sort of thing to obtain more bikes for Globalbike. The audit report this year included charts showing how Polk County compares to other counties of similar size. Polk’s fund balance is significantly higher this year at 35.4 percent of its general fund, compared to the peer group’s average of between 20 and 24 percent. Polk County had one dip in its fund balance in the year ending June 30, 2009, after the county used its fund balance to purchase Lake Adger for $1.6 million, but even then the county maintained a fund balance of approximately 25 percent. Another chart included in the audit report showed Polk’s (Continued on page 7)

outstanding debt over the last four years. Polk’s trend has a steady drop, from about $25 million owed in 2006 to between 16 million and 17 million owed as of June 30, 2010. Polk decided on Monday to further decrease its debt by paying off an outstanding loan that funded the construction of the middle school, recreation complex and transfer station. (See article, pg. 8.) The county ended last fiscal year with total expenditures of $20,352,199 from its general fund. The county ended $1,195,263 more revenues than expenditures. On the negative side of the audit, Polk did receive two findings. A federal award finding was given to the county for its Medicaid program. Yelton said two

files in the auditor’s sample of the county’s Medicaid program proved to be incorrect, resulting in two people not receiving benefits. The audit recommends additional staff training and possibly additional file reviews are needed to ensure required documentation is present in the file and is used to correctly compute the budget for eligibility determinations. The county agreed with the finding; officials said, according to the audit, “Additional staff training will occur& to ensure Auto CleAning WAxing that all staff members are aware ofdurandsautodetail.com the required documentation and procedures.” 828-817-1568 Another finding is incurred Upbasis, & Delivery on anPick annual according to Yelton, and is based on the fact that the auditors themselves 1x1 the annual financial prepare statements, footnotes and other F, 2/19-1/28/11 required disclosures. sPot-035011 “The external auditors cannot be considered to be part of

an entity’s internal control,” states the audit report. “Therefore, the auditor’s participation in the preparation of certain sections of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) technically constitutes a weakness in [Polk County's] system of internal control. “While the county does prepare monthly financial statements for internal purposes and is competent in tracking expenditures and fund balances, it is not logical at this time for the county to dedicate the resources required to perform all of the year-end financial reporting duties.” Yelton did recommend that the county appoint an audit committee made up of county employees as well as community members to help with financials and the annual audit. He said many other counties have an audit committee, which has proved to be successful.

Payoff will net county more than $362k savings by Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners decided on Monday to pay off an outstanding loan that will save the county $362,513. The decision is contingent on Polk being approved by the N.C. Local Government Commission (LGC) to secure up to $1.85 million in financing for a new department of social services (DSS) building. The loan to be paid off was initially a $4 million loan from BB&T that funded the construction projects a few years ago for the middle school, recreation complex and transfer station. If the county continued to make regular loan payments, it would pay another $2,498,720. Paying the payoff amount of $2,136,207 now could save the county $362,513. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson told commissioners Monday that there are no penalties for paying off the loan early and he recommended the payoff for a couple of reasons. Whitson said with recent audit report numbers, the county’s fund balance is getting too high. With uncertainties with the state budget, Whitson said it would be safer for the county to reduce its fund balance in case the state decides to supplement its budget with local

funding. He said he has seen a similar situation with Western Highlands, Polk’s mental health entity. He said the state told Western Highlands to use its fund balance instead of receiving state funding and he doesn’t want that to happen to Polk County. Whitson recommends the county maintain a 15 percent fund balance and Polk County’s was 35.4 percent as of June 30, 2010, according to the audit presented on Monday (see front page story). Whitson also said it makes sense for Polk County to pay off the $4 million loan and finance the DSS building because of the state and federal reimbursements available for interest payments made for the building. The state and federal governments will reimburse certain costs for the new DSS building, which is being constructed off Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring, including about 61 percent of loan interest costs. Whitson said the county will still have a fund balance of approximately 24 percent if the loan is paid off. The state recommends that local governments have a minimum of eight percent of its general fund in reserves. The loan will not be paid off until the county closes on the DSS loan. Polk plans to take $1,957,013 from its fund balance and use the already budgeted loan payment for this year of $176,320 to pay off the loan. Womack Building in Columbus.

The Lake Lanier boat landing, located in Third Basin, was dedicated Nursery on Sunday to Frank “Boat” Williams, provided a long-time Lake Lanier resident. A sign was erected identifying the landing as the Frank "Boat" Wiliams Landing. The Lake Lanier Civic Association (LLCA) recently purchased the boat landing from the Tom Gerfen family. The Gerfen family specified in the deed that the landing be named for Williams in honor of his long history on the lake. The LLCA agreed to name it after Williams and maintain a sign there in his honor. Pictured above (left to right) are Williams, who turns 104 years old next Wednesday, and LLCA’s Jerry Atkins and Jeff Corrigan. Below, Williams is shown beside the new landing sign. Tryon Corrigan is seeking 150 Melrose Avenue in Historic stories about Williams for a memoir. Anyone who has information 828 859-9741 on Williams is urged to send it to jeffcorrigan61@yahoo.com.

Sanitation customers in Landrum who recycle have quadrupled in the past four years. Landrum City Council met last week with Jerry Searcy, who is with the town’s sanitation contractor, GDS. Searcy said the curbside recycling program has worked really

well, with participants up to 16.29 percent. In 2006, Landrum only had four percent of residents who recycled. Through some campaigning, those numbers grew shortly after to about nine percent. City council also discussed (Continued on page 13)

on Markham Rd.

Calvin Carson, whose home was demolished just a few months ago, moved into his new home on the same site this week. Carson's home in Tryon was demolished and rebuilt through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Scattered Housing Project. The home, located at 940 Markham Road in Tryon, was rebuilt through the grant funds. Polk County was awarded $400,000 in 2008, of which $333,000 was to be used for rehabilitation and demolition of homes in the county. The funds were awarded

specifically to be used to complete substantial housing repairs on five homes and to demolish and replace Carson's home on Markham Road, which was accomplished in just a few months. Work is already scheduled to begin on the other five homes on the list for rehabilitation. CDBG funds are provided to the state by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). They are administered at the state level by the N.C. Department of Commerce through the Division of Community Assistance and the Commerce Finance Center.

Quality Horse Facebook adds to list of N.C. Top data centers Hay

Facebook joined a growing list of companies creating a data center in North Carolina after announcing last week its plans for a $450 million center in Forest City. Construction of the center, which will be designed to meet LEED gold standards, is expected to create about 250 construction jobs and about 35 to 45 full-time jobs once it is in operation. State officials say future construction phases are possible if business needs require expansion at the center. North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue says the state worked with Facebook for about a year to make sure the company had the land, utilities and incentives needed to “make the project a success.” Perdue notes Facebook follows Apple, Google and IBM in selecting the Tarheel state for a data center. The governor’s office also announced this week that Infocrossing will build a data center in Kings Mountain. Infocrossing, a subsidiary of Wipro Ltd., India’s third-largest software outsourcer, plans to invest $75 million in the

facility that will employ fewer than 20 full-time workers. Infocrossing manages high-volume computer operations for other companies. Except for IBM, which is in the Triangle area, the companies picked sites less than 50 miles from Kings Mountain.

availability of broadband service. According to the survey, 62 percent of adults subscribe to home broadband service, compared to 67 percent nationwide. The survey also found that 42 percent of African Americans subscribe to broadband, well below the national average of 56 percent. Among rural households, only 46 percent have broadband service, compared to the national average of 62 percent. The study found that mobile broadband service was utilized by only 29 percent of adults in South Carolina. “This statewide survey on broadband is the first of its kind in South Carolina, and it shows that a lot of work needs to be done to improve adoption and use of broadband and information technology in the state,” said Brian Mefford, CEO of Connect South Carolina’s nonprofit parent company, Connected Nation. “Expanding the use and adoption of broadband will benefit South Carolina’s economy, education, and health of its citizens, and this survey is an important step forward in building awareness of these benefits.”

The Tryon Palace Commission decided years ago to buy the vacant lot, an abandoned boat yard, and then worked over the years to raise funds for the museum.

it will scale back plans to expand the city’s light rail system due to revenue shortfalls. The system says it is planning to cut $200 million from its budget to extend the Blue Line to University City, home to the UNC-Charlotte campus. The length of the line and the number of stations may be reduced, says CATS. The cuts are a setback for the region’s 2030 transit plan, which called for rapid development of light-rail, commuter-rail and streetcars in Mecklenburg County. CATS says revenue from a special halfcent sales tax will be more than $1 billion short of projects by 2030. The transit system must slow its spending growth from 1.3 percent to 0.3 percent annually. CATS plans to pursue grants and public-private partnerships to continue moving forward with its plans for a Red Line to the Lake Norman area.

Goodwill says the funds will help 100 vets and their families in the first year of the program, operated in partnership with Central Piedmont Community College. The program was conceived by Charlotte’s Goodwill Industries, which is also working with Goodwill International to create a template for the program that can be used by affiliates across the country. “This is a lot bigger than someone coming into Goodwill and using our computers to do a job search,” said Bo Hussey of Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont. “This is about helping them with the entire transition from military life to civilian life, every step of the way.

• Seminarian (continued from page 19)

of a spiritual director, Mariani chose to continue his Christian journey as a seminarian. Mariani is currently studying pre-theology at the St. Charles Borromeo Seminary. It is a two year program designed to help college students to become well grounded in philosophy in preparation for the four years of theological studies. Mariani's classes this semester include Biblical Greek, philosophy of man, metaphysics, faith and reason according to St. Thomas Aquinas, and late modern philosophy. Mariani starts each day at the seminary with communal morning prayer, which leads into Mass. In addition to praying the Rosary, seminarians are encouraged to practice adoration for one hour before the Blessed Sacrament. After Mass and breakfast, seminarians take their study classes, usually two or three classes in the morning. The rest of the day is spent on studying, prayer and activities with other seminarians.

In addition to the regular study courses each seminarian is assigned to a house job throughout the week. They also serve an apostolate on Thursdays, which is spent in service at a nearby organization. "This year I have been assigned to a homebound shelter for my apostolate, and I strive to keep the petitions there before me as I become a more authentic follower of Jesus Christ. I pray to recognize God's presence in all men, especially the poor and those who mourn." Mariani enjoys reading books on Our Lord and the Blessed Mother of God, playing chess, racquet ball with friends and enjoying good Pixar movies. Mariani says he has a deep appreciation for the liturgical heritage of the Church's Latin Rite, including both older and newer expressions of the faith that are exercised under ecclesiastical authority. "It is a blessing to have recourse to Gregorian chant as a way to elevate one's heart and mind to God." Most of all, Mariani says he values loving Christ and sharing His love with others through Mary, His mother.

Barn, creek, and June apple tree The barn (or stables for the cows and horses) was across the creek from the house. I can hear Grandma now as she would sneeze several times as she went along to the barn. She must have had problems with hay fever. Just before you reached the foot log crossing the creek there was a June apple tree. It was an early apple, and we looked forward to the time they would be ripe. Many times I have climbed this tree and eaten apples. Walnut tree, check pins, storage room in a hill A big walnut tree stood just above the spring and it gave walnuts to eat. I can remember a time when I was visiting there and was helping crack walnuts to make a cake, and a bad storm came up.

About 65 artists are participating with jewelry, scarves, handbags (including Bula bags), metal work, bird houses, angel ornaments, body lotions, soaps, woodturned objects, ceramic and glass art, silk jewelry pouches, small furniture, folk art and more. “The goal is to offer a variety of fresh, exciting, well-made crafts to the holiday shopper,” says Wyndy Morehead, event chair.

The Upstairs provides a “Wish Book” where people can record an item they would like to receive as a gift and the name of the persons who might purchase it for them. There is also free gift wrapping. “Presents of Art” is open during regular gallery hours Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., through December 24.

My bet is you will be looking at nothing different in 2012 To the Editor: I have been putting much thought to the mid-term elections and what they might mean. As I look at the results across the country, it is clear that the American people want our elected officials to respond to our needs, and not the needs of corporations, special interest groups or specific lobbying organizations. The Republicans did not get a mandate from the people to be the sole savior of the country. If they had, then not only the House, but the Senate as well would be theirs. What the public did was say, “do the business of the country, find common ground, and get her done.” The day after the election the President seemed to understand he had been chastised by the people, and reached out to Republicans, indicating a willingness to find the common ground. Congressman Banner, the new speaker of the House, indicated his willingness as well. Then within a day the tone changed; it became about 2012 and the Presidential election. The Re-

Letter to the Editor

Appreciate Polk’s support of food pantry To the Editor: As the holiday season approaches, I’m once again reminded how generous the folks in this area are. Donations to Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry are rolling in and that enables us to distribute even more food to the needy. Polk County Middle School just finished a food drive in which they collected over 2,000 items of food. There are 7 other food drives going on now in Polk County and I anticipate even more as the holidays get closer.

publicans drove a wedge between the two sides. So here is what I would ask those of you who really desire to get the county’s business done. Make a list of the promises made by the Tea Party/Republicans. It is not a long list but an important one. 1) Lower taxes on all Americans. 2) Create new jobs and put people back to work (unemployment is at 9.5 percent) even though 155,000 new jobs were created last month. 3) Begin to reduce the deficit, in order to increase the value of the dollar. 4) Either repeal health care, and/or cut out the parts that they, and supposedly the people are unhappy with. 5) Do away with certain entitlements and government programs, employing too many people to do too little work, thus cutting costs. There are a few more but those should be sufficient to check to see if they have accomplished their goals. I would ask you to take stock along about March, 2012. If they have done their job as announced, I will be the first to stand up and say, “great job,” we need all of you in Washington. If not, then you as voters need to do again, as you did this time and vote the bums out. My bet is, sadly, that you will be looking at nothing different in 2012. I really hope I’m wrong. – David Bivens Many individuals have been very helpful to TBOM this year. (Way too many to list here). One particular individual has goneabove and beyond in assistance. The Director of Agriculture Economic Development, Lynn Sprague, has contributed much needed shelving to our Pantry, allowed us the use of a large room at the Agriculture Center for our Yard Sale and helped us in many other ways. By the way, if you haven’t been out to the Ag. Center, it’s worth a visit. The renovations that Lynn is doing out there will be a Polk County treasure for decades to come. We appreciate Polk County’s generous support of the Food Pantry. – Jim McClintock, Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry Food Pantry Manager

Green Creek Hounds Halloween Hunter Pace results by Boots Plyler & Jan Smith

A ghoul greets you on the road, a witch waves you in at the gate and a cowboy directs you to a parking spot. Are you at the latest Hollywood scary movie? No, it’s the annual Green Creek Hounds Halloween Hunter Pace, held Sunday, October 24! Jennifer and Roger Smith allowed the Halloween critters to share enjoyment of their land, and Kathy Rondell and Pat Hale, along with their crew of workers and volunteers, were the organizers. Every year the Green Creek Hounds crew comes up with one of the most highly anticipated events and they never disappoint. The trail this year meandered through the White Oak Creek Fixture. The Trail Rider course was quite a bit shorter than the Field Hunter one this year, but it still contained several good jumps, two water crossings and a lot of varied terrain.

Except for the very beginning of the path which was graveled, the trail was very forgiving to unshod horses and there were many opportunities for a good canter or a side by side trot. The trail was mostly wooded which made a perfect backdrop to the ghosts, spiders, goblins, witches and various other beasties that would appear as the innocent riders proceeded on their way. The decorations were provided by Baiba Bourbeau, Arthur Bourbeau and Beatrice Lamb and the poetic directional notices (similar to Burma Shave signs) were created by Christi Fowler. No one was injured by the creatures of the night, but one hapless horse was attacked by a falling Dracula. At least there were a few super heroes on hand to save the day. The Field Hunter route followed the Trail Rider path but took many detours to add jumps as well as mileage.

The funniest costumes at the Green Creek Hounds Hunter Pace were judged to be Gwen Hunter and Suess Fraser as Thing 1 and Thing 2 (from Dr. Suess’ “Cat in the Hat”). (photo by Jan Smith)

The Halloween theme continued in the food, especially the desserts, with spider cupcakes and pumpkin cookies among other creepy delights.

Costumed riders are a big part of this hunter pace and there were many vying for the prizes this (Continued on page 35)

I bring her inside and sit down, intending to give her some love and assurance. She proceeds to lay her head in my lap and looks up at me with all the hope, love and trust she could muster. Immediately all the weariness and doubt wash away from me and the flood gates open as tears fall uncontrollably down my cheeks. “I get the message, Lord,” I pray. “Who am I to look at anyone of Your beautiful creatures and think it’s just another dog that I may or may not have time for. Where would we be if You treated us in such a manner? Please forgive me, Lord, I have faith that You’ll help me find a way as You always do.” This sweet girl is approximately one year old and they have named her Trixie, though I prefer Patches. On second thought I believe I know who sent her to me and why – perhaps the name Angel is more appropriate. Thanks for listening.

2x10 A wonderful week 10/22,29;11/5,12,19,25;12/3,10

biog-039530 My first week here in Tryon I was contacted by Marc Brady, the general manager of the Tryon Country Club, about the annual Octogenarian Golf Tournament. It seems the Tryon Daily Bulletin had sponsored the tournament in the past and Marc wanted to know if we were going to keep up the tradition. He said the tournament was open to all men and women, members and nonmembers, who had attained the age of at least 80. It sounded like a great idea, and far be it from me to change the tradition. After a few delays due to weather, the tournament was held. It was a very cool (cold) morning, the kind that makes you want to roll over and pull the covers over your head and go back to sleep until the sun comes out in full force and heats up the place. But the games must go on, and these men and Mrs. Barbara Manning braved the weather and came out to play. Of course, there was the usual goodnatured bantering and ribbing at the end, and a great time was had by all. Thanks to Marc Brady and Dee O’Brien, the Tryon Country Club manager, for organizing and making this event possible. On a recent Sunday night I had the pleasure of attending a benefit concert for the Upstairs Artspace at the Tryon Theatre. Carol Newton, a board member

Publisher’s Notebook by Betty Ramsey

for the Upstairs, first showed me around the 32-year-old non-profit contemporary art gallery located just down the street from the Bulletin. This particular night the exhibit was art works in glass, with many of the pieces produced by leading Southeastern artists. The historic old theatre has a definite charm and that small town feel that welcomes you in with open arms. It was the perfect setting for some local entertainment. First up was The StereoFidelics – Chris Padgett and Melissa McGinley. With a high energy intensity and quick pace, this alternative rock band was a real crowd pleaser. They were followed by Wishgrove, a rock band from the mountains of North Carolina. The group writes, records and performs unique original music. Rich Nelson is on lead vocals, guitar and keyboards, Mark McCullough is on bass and back-up vocals and Tony Bell plays drums. Toe-tapping, head-bobbing music that I personally enjoyed very much. Thanks to all for a wonderful week. Betty Ramsey is the publisher of the Tryon Daily Bulletin. Her email address is betty. ramsey@tryondailybulletin. com.

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

Composting forum held Nov. 30 Following the continuing success of the Polk County Mobile Recycling Program, the Polk County Recycling Advisory Board has been studying additional ways to divert materials from ending up in landfills. Realizing that organic materials (food waste, grass clippings, leaves, brush and limbs) account for an average of 60 percent of household waste and 75 percent of solid waste generated by supermarkets, schools, restaurants, and personal care facilities, the recycling advisory board has shifted its focus to compost. As a means to help generate ideas and interest, and to educate the recycling board and the general public, a composting forum is being held at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 30, at the Polk County Campus of Isothermal Community College in Columbus. Compost is the product resulting from the controlled biological decomposition of organic material to the point that it is beneficial to plant growth. The benefits of diverting organic waste from landfills to compost are numerous. Not only does the effort extend

landfill life, among other things limiting organic waste in landfills reduces the production of methane, a greenhouse gas. Of course the end product is black gold for soil productivity, and can be used for home gardens and farms as soil amendment, top dressing, or compost tea. In fact, compost is more effective than synthetic fertilizers in building healthy soils! The beauty of composting is that anyone can compost at any scale, from large commercial and farm operations to backyard tumblers and basement worm bins. The featured speaker for the composting forum will be Brian Rosa, organic recycling specialist for NCDENR, widely considered the region’s foremost authority on composting and vermiculture (see www.p2pays.org/compost). Rosa will discuss composting techniques for households as well as larger scale operations. All are welcome to come learn and discuss the potential ways for Polk County and its citizens to further reduce landfill waste, and in the process, keep growing greener. – article submitted

The Lanier Library will host a special holiday presentation of “Christmas Letters,” starring Barbara Bates Smith, on Sunday, November 21 at 2 p.m. The program is free and everyone is welcome. Readers may remember seeing Smith last spring when she gave a performance of Lee’s Smith’s “Fair and Tender Ladies” at the library. This time she will perform another play by the same author. “Christmas Letters” chronicles the life of Birdie Pickett through her letters to her mother and sister. The play is set in a North Carolina farm beginning in the 1940s and continues through three generations of the family. In her performance she is accompanied by Jeff Sebins on numerous hand-made stringed instruments. Smith has performed numerous literary adaptations, several by the novelist Lee Smith including “On Agate Hill” and “Fair and Tender Ladies.” She has also appeared in theatrical productions of “Driving Miss Daisy,” “Doubt,” “Hamlet,” “Three Tall Woman” and “Sister Mary Ignatius.” She was in the world premiere of Horton Foote’s “Talking Pictures” and was named the 2003 Southeastern Theater Conference’s Best Actress for her role in “Talking Pictures.” Smith has performed on

Ollis, Wolverines not taking Cavaliers lightly Wolverines want to get ‘monkey’ off backs by Joey Millwood

a lot of the conversation in practice this week for the polk County football team has centered on a “monkey.” they’re not talking about Curious george or watching old episodes of “B.J. and the Bear.” they’re talking about the “monkey” that has been on their backs. “(We) have to get the monkey off our back that has kept us from advancing out of the second round of the playoffs,” head coach Bruce ollis. that task is going to be a little harder than what it seems on paper. east rutherford did the Wolverines a big favor last Friday night, upsetting starmount 24-14. the win by the Cavaliers ensured that the Wolverines would be at home at least one more round in the state 2a playoffs. “our players, coaches and fans should not be swayed by the fact that they have lost five games this season,” ollis said. “east plays in a very tough 2a/3a league that I think prepares them for the playoffs.” Just last season the Cavaliers lost a close Western regional matchup – the Cavaliers beat shelby in the regular season and lost a close matchup in the state playoffs with them. shelby went on to win the state championship. East is a run-first team that

features its tailback. Like most run-first teams, the Cavaliers will lull opposing defenses to sleep with the run and then throw in a pass, which often goes for big yardage. Last week two of their scores were a 60-yards short slant pass and a tailback pass for 50 yards. Defensively, the Cavaliers

are stout. they held a starmount team that was averaging 50 points to 14 last week, ollis said. so what’s it going to take to get the “monkey” off polk’s back? “We must eliminate their big play potential offensively and make them drive the ball to

score,” ollis said. “We need to make them defend the entire field on defense and keep them off balance with an attack that includes spreading the ball around with both running and passing.” Kickoff begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday night in the “Little Big House.”

Polk basketball games canceled Nov. 23 polk County athletic Director Jeff Wilson has announced that all polk County girls and boys basketball games previously scheduled for tuesday, Nov. 23 have been canceled because of the varsity football playoffs. sports – page 2

At this moment, a gaggle of cyclists appeared down our road, acres away, but seemingly closer in their neon-colored jerseys. This proved too much for Fozzy who, catching them whizzing past, flung up his head, intent on pivoting and exploding across the paddock, and would have if I hadn’t been able to lunge over to him in two strides to grab his halter, not unlike Roger Federer in full body stretch, returning serve.

WhAt iS PRobAtE? Q. What is probate anyway? a. In a nutshell, the probate process is a court proceeding that establishes the validity of a will and provides oversight to ensure accuracy in accounting for a decedent's assets, fairness in the treatment of heirs, and protection for the rights of the decedent's creditors. the process begins with the presentation of the will and can take on average 6 to 12 months. Of course this depends on the complexity of the estate and whether there are any challenges to the will. It is not necessary to hire a lawyer for every probate. If the assets are simple and there are no tax or other complexities and the executor is available in the state and has the time and capacity to handle the matters that arise, the executor can complete the process without attorney involvement.
