Mitzi Lindsey retires from Tryon Riding & Hunt Club by Gloria Underwood, Ph.D.

When the horses round the bend at the 65th Block House Steeplechase Races Mitzi Lindsey expects to feel somewhat out of place. For the first time in 38 years, she’ll watch from a front row box as a spectator instead of being the woman running things behind the scenes. Miriam “Mitzi” Lindsey began working for the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club (TR&HC) in 1972, when the office was located in Oak Hall Hotel. (Continued on page 3)

DOT: Secondary roads should be clear today Longest school closing for snow since 1993 blizzard by Leah Justice

Accumulation of snow on Monday, Jan. 10 wasn’t the worst the area has ever seen, but temperatures that have stayed below freezing and kept ice on the roads have trapped many residents in their homes.

Polk County schools have been closed all week and were likely not going to be open again today, making it probably the longest school closing causing by weather since the blizzard of 1993. The N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) has been working 24 hour shifts all week and were hopeful that all secondary roads would be clear by today, possibly by Thursday

afternoon, Jan. 13. Main roads and interstates were cleared early in the week. The Polk County DOT has been working its 11 trucks and one grader 24 hours a day, with 15 employees (12 working the roads) during the day and eight employees working nights, according to Polk County DOT supervisor Thomas Hall.

• Mitzi Lindsey (continued from page 1)

When she retires in 2011 from the job that has been her lifelong adventure, it will the be end of an era for TR&HC. TR&HC president Chuck Lingerfelt said he has considered it a pleasure to work with Mitzi for the last seven years. “We feel a deep appreciation and affection for Mitzi that is difficult to put into words. She has been an unwavering constant with TR&HC, always being there for the club,” Lingerfelt said. “She has been the spirit and embodiment of the TR&HC for 38 years.” How many people do you know who can say they’ve held the same job for 38 years? In this age of mobility and increasingly high-tech demands, it is quite an accomplishment. When you factor in 17 different presidents and an ever-changing board of directors, with as many

different personalities, it is an even more amazing feat. Lindsey became involved with horses when she was under the care of her older sister, who would set her on one of the horses at Chagrin Valley Hunt Club in Ohio to keep her quietly out of the way. She has loved horses ever since. From riding lessons at camp to riding at boarding school in M a s s a c h usetts to helping with the horses at her father’s camp, Lindsey was around horses during most of her youth. Then during her spring vacation in 1961, she discovered Tryon. “The leaves were out and everything was in bloom; it was

absolutely gorgeous. I thought I’d gone to heaven,” Lindsey said. Back in Kirtland, Ohio, she began to scrutinize the classified ads in her parents’ copy of the Tryon Daily Bulletin, where she found a whole new life: a job in Tryon teaching riding lessons and taking care of stables. She made the move to Tryon in November 1961 and never looked back. She bought her first horse when she moved, getting a two-for-one deal: the horse was pregnant when she bought her. Lindsey belonged to Skyuka Saddle Club, where she would ride her horse in barrel races and pole bending. In the years that followed, she married and had two children,

middleware, virtualization and cloud computing solutions. “Red Hat is a homegrown, high-tech, global brand and we fought hard to keep them here,” said N.C. Governor Bev Perdue. The average wage of the new jobs created by Red Hat is expected to exceed $80,000, nearly double the average Wake County wage of $42,692. The expansion was support by a Job Development Invest Grant awarded by the state’s Economic Investment Committee, which could provide as much as $15 million in benefits for the company if it achieves the economic development targets. *** A company that develops low cost solar cells plans to create about 1,000 jobs over the next four years at a new manufacturing facility near Columbia, S.C. AQT Solar of Sunnyvale, California plans to upfit a 184,000-squarefoot LEED Silver Certified facility in Richland County and begin producing its CIGS (copperindium-gallium-diselenide) thinfilm solar cells by the beginning of 2012. The facility will be the second manufacturing location for the company, which opened its first facility in California last year. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said AQT Solar will help South Carolina become a leader in the effort to make the country energy independent. “I am very pleased we are welcoming a new partner that will help pave the way to American energy independence while delivering the jobs and technology of the future to our state,” said Graham. *** Homeless shelters in the Asheville area have been expanding capacity to meet a greater need during the recent cold snap. Shelters have extended hours and created additional room to accept more people. The WNC Regional Red Cross also was planning to open emergency shelters for residents who lost power at their homes.

and then we were ready. We pulled a tow sack open at both ends over the dog's head, but the dog didn’t like this. We really had a fight on our hands. We put the other end of the sack over the smoking bucket of tar and feathers. For this process the dog couldn’t stay with his head in the sack but for a short time. This meant taking his head out of the sack and putting it back maybe three or four times. It made the dog weak. The one that had pneumonia died, and the other one lived. I told myself I would never do this again. The one that lived made a fair coon dog you could depend on. If he barked on a track, then it was probably a coon. I trained him with a dog Boo Newman had. She was one of the best coon dogs I have ever known. In treeing, she would fight the younger dog away from the tree, sit at the foot of the tree looking up or standing up on the tree and barking every breath. Later on, when I was hunting him by himself, oftentimes he wouldn’t go to the tree. This created a problem finding the tree that the coon was up. He would have been a good coon dog if it had not been for this problem. He would stand away from the tree looking up and barking. I can remember a time when working in the mill on the second shift and coming home about 11 at night. He would meet me at the car, wanting to go hunting, but I didn’t like to go hunting by myself. There is something about being out in the dark mountain by one’s self, just you, the dog and other wild animals. I can remember going when the falls on the branch I had to climb over were covered in ice. I had told no one where I was going. If I fell when would I be found? Just some of the things I had to think about. It was not unusual to spend all night coon hunting. I didn’t go too many times by myself, as it was lots more fun to have 258390-101 someone to hunt with.

"Vanilla Ice" could be the largest snowman ever constructed in Tryon. The snowman, which stands in Thompson’s Landscaping parking lot on Palmer Street, was built Tuesday night by employees of several businesses. The 12-foot-tall, 4-to-5-feet-wide snowman took four hours to build with nine people and a ladder. Businesses that helped build the snowman include Bravo Interiors, Thompson's Landscaping, Sidestreet Pizza, Morgan Keffe Builders and Tryon House. (photo by Leah Justice)

Carson to offer painting workshop Saluda artist Jim Carson will offer a painting workshop Friday through Sunday, Jan. 21 - 23, titled “Getting Perspective Right in Order to Paint Fast and Loose.” Carson will be joined by Chris Sherry, an AIA architect from Atlanta, who teaches perspective at Johns Creek Art Center and Quinlan Visual Art Center in Atlanta. Learning perspective is critical for a fresh painting style, according to Carson, because it provides the confidence to be bold with your painting strokes. Sherry will conduct the first day of the workshop, which will be all drawing, and Carson, in the last two days, will teach the

application of these drawing skills to achieve loose and spontaneous paintings. The workshop will be held in Carson’s studio, located above the Saluda Grade Café in Saluda. Carson will do daily demonstrations on Saturday and Sunday, and there will be a critique of the day’s work at the end of each day. There will be a “get-acquainted” gathering at Carson’s studio on Thursday night, Jan. 20. The cost of the workshop will include lunch each day, catered by the Saluda Grade Café. For more information, contact Carson at 828-749-3702 or visit www.jimcarson.net, or email jimcarson@tds.net. – article submitted

Building, maintaining strong bones There are more than 200 bones in the human body. The main function of the skeleton is to add structure to the body, protect organs and enable the body, with the help of the attached muscles, to move. Bones, do however, play a role in several other bodily functions. The formation of blood cells takes place in the marrow within certain bones. Bones also act as a storehouse for minerals, especially phosphorus and calcium. About 98 percent of the body’s calcium is stored in it’s bones. Every cell in the body requires small amounts of calcium to function properly. When blood calcium levels fall, bones then release calcium that has been stored. The body uses intricate mechanisms to keep calcium levels balanced. When blood levels of calcium are low, the parathyroid glands secrete parathormone. This activates bone cells called osteoclastsins in order to break down

bone to release the calcium that’s ate and calcium citrate. Both are well absorbed, but need to be taken needed by the body. This also triggers other hormones differently. that counteract mineral loss in these Calcium carbonate needs to be bones to keep them strong during taken with food for proper absorption this process. where as calcium citrate needs to be When blood calcium levels get taken on an empty stomach.

mineral supplement (we’ll talk more about that later) Proper exercise is also crucial for bone strength and health. Weight training is excellent for this. Skeletal muscles have something called an origin and an insertion. The origin point of the muscle is attached to the immovable bone. The insertion point of the muscle is attached on the other end to the movable bone. When you lift weights properly, the bones between the origin and insertion are stressed. The brain senses this and signals the body to send calcium to harden these bones. With proper strategy you can make real progress at any age, but make sure you get instruction from someone who is knowledgeable and experienced. Get your doctor, trainer, and nutritionist involved. Take care of your bones and they’ll really support you. Fitness or nutrition question? Email me at dwcrocker77@gmail.com or visit fitness4yourlife.org.

Polk ladies, men JV basketball win over Crossnore by Jordan DeVere

On Thursday, Jan. 13, the Polk County High School Wolverines JV basketball teams played host to Crossnore. The night went well for Polk as both the ladies’ and the men’s JV teams won. The ladies’ game was extremely one sided. The Lady Wolverines came out with great hustle on the defensive end, forcing a lot of turnovers. The game was tied 2-2 early in the first quarter, but the quarter ended with Polk ahead 20 to 2.

The game got ugly after that, for after Crossnore’s early 2 points in the first quarter, the Wolverines went on a 51-0 run. Even with subs in for most of the second half, the Wolverines continued to score. Polk’s Shea Wheeler (#1) and Lyric Flood (#34) had 10 points and 12 points respectively. The game ended in a very assertive victory for the Wolverines, 69-4. This win should give the Wolverines confidence heading into the second half of the

season. The men’s game was much more competitive in the early going. The game began with a technical foul by the Wolverines during the warm-up; however, the Wolverines were quick to recover and were able to take the lead early in the first quarter 10-5. As the second quarter began Polk came out with great intensity and opened up a 12-point lead. Crossnore made a push in the third, but the depth of the Wolverines proved too much

as Polk continued to add to its lead. As the fourth began, Crossnore was still within striking distance until Polk’s Will Trakas #4 drained a deep three to seal the deal for the Wolverines, 66-43. This was a solid win for the guys as they look to improve their record early in the second half of the season. Polk’s Varsity teams are away tomorrow night at Thomas Jefferson. – Jordan DeVere is a senior at Polk County High School.

How are social security benefits taxed? Dear Savvy Senior Do I have to pay income tax on my Social Security benefits? I just turned 62 and am seriously considering early retirement. What can you tell me? Ready to Retire Dear Ready, When you start collecting your Social Security retirement benefits, a portion of it might be taxable depending on your total income level and marital status. Here’s what you should know. Crunch your numbers About one-third of people who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefits. To figure out if your benefits will be taxable, you’ll need to add up all of your taxable income from pensions, wages, interest, dividends and other sources, plus any tax exempt interest you earned (such as interest on municipal bonds) and one-half of your Social Security benefits. (You’ll receive an SSA-1099 form in the mail each January reporting your Social Security benefits for the previous year.) To help you with the calculations, get a copy of IRS Publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits,” which provides detailed instructions and worksheets. You can download it at www. irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf. Worksheets can also be found in the IRS 1040 (www. irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf) and 1040A (www.irs.gov/pub/ irs-pdf/i1040a.pdf) instruction

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq. Asset Protection Q. Why should I engage in asset protection estate planning? 1x1 A. Aside from the obvious, to protect assets you have 5/23 worked so hard to earn, 6/20 the following might be considerations: to give you peace of mind that your assets will be protected from potential creditors. to save on liability and 0tfn5fri - inDD malpractice insurance. to reduce settlement amounts and the number of lawsuits. to give you bargaining power in the event of a lawsuit. When faced with proper asset protection planning, creditors are given a Hobson’s choice: settle for the amount offered; sue and lose and maybe get nothing; sue and win and the amount could be less than offered; sue and win but the assets are unavailable to satisfy the judgment.
