dents who are currently getting their water from wells, exempting them from having to pay an availability fee. The issue arose a few months ago when Columbus resident Susan Johann expressed concern that she was the only resident not connected to the town’s water system to pay an availability fee.

In terms of the big project, these are small grants, but put together with donated materials and volunteers, these grants are very significant,” said Lynn Sprague. Jackson, owner of Manna Cabanna, an organic local foods market and year-round CSA in Saluda and project manager of PolkFresh TradePost, said, “Polk County’s agricultural development and farmland preservation is an increasingly important concept for its economic development.… We are experiencing amazing unilateral support across the community with local and regional grant opportunities leveraging that support. The PolkFresh TradePost Project is a call out to the old and the young: It is a great time to be a farmer in Polk County.”

son, it’s still a team sport – the individual tournaments will begin in the post season – many Wolverines have excelled on the mat this season. Senior Tyler Philpott has led the charge with an undefeated 25-0 record. Juan Vera, Silvestre Ramirez, J.J. Maxwell, Caleb Russell, Kameron Painter and Jose Ramirez have dominated opponents in their weight classes.
Wednesday night will not be short of any drama. This is the first time the two teams will have met, and it will also be senior night. “You only get one shot at each team so you have to make everyone count,” Schweitzer said. The Wolverines hope this one will add to the count of championship banners hanging on the wall of the gymnasium.

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight candles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews.

groundhog day Groundhog Day has been a tradition every year in America and Canada since 1886. Every February 2, tradition states that a groundhog will predict whether Spring will come early, or if we will have to endure six more weeks of Winter. If the groundhog comes out of his burrow and stays above ground, Spring will come on time as predicted, but if the groundhog sees his shadow and is scared back into the ground, we will have six more weeks of Winter and bad weather. This holiday’s origins go back as far as the Roman Empire. Soldiers in the Roman Legion would make the same prediction with a similar animal, the hedgehog. If the hedgehog cast a shadow, then what the Romans called “The Second Winter” would start. The most famous of the weather-predicting groundhogs lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and goes by the name Punxsutawney Phil. His home, or burrow, in Pennsylvania is called Gobbler’s Knob. Phil was featured in the popular 1993 movie, Groundhog Day. Other famous groundhogs are General Beauregard Lee in Atlanta, Georgia; Balzac Billy, in Balzac in Alberta, Canada; and Jimmy the Groundhog in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

Western Carolina Community Action speaks to Kiwanis
Western Carolina Community Action (WCCA) is an organization that began providing summer Head Start programs in Henderson and Transylvania counties in 1966. There was no Early Head Start program in Polk County until funds became available in 2009. WCCA applied for a grant for 120 additional places, to include 32 Polk County children. The Columbus Children’s Center was opened with Early Head Start services of health and development screenings, parent education, high quality child care, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences provided to families. David White, president of WCCA, recently spoke about this effort to members of the Tryon Kiwanis Club, along with several members of the staff. Pictured above (left to right) are Kiwanian Ed Komorous, Jonathan Stanley, Kimberly Bryan, David White of WCCA and Steve Cobb. The children’s book “The Big Hare” will be donated to the Columbus Children’s Center in honor of the WCCA staff. (photo submitted)

TBOM celebrates anniversary Sunday 13 SupportFeb. the nonThermal Belt Outreach will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a Valentine High Tea to be held in honor of Outreach’s founder and executive director Eloise Thwing Sunday, Feb. 13. The tea will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at Tryon Estates and will feature five gourmet teas, coffee, punch, scones, pinwheel sandwiches, fruits, cheeses and chocolate macaroons. Tickets are on sale at area banks and at Vera’s of Landrum. During the evening a slide show on multiple screens will play photos from the 20-year history, including the building, 21 different ministries and programs, a dental clinic and subsidized housing. All this grew out of a simple idea: Something needs to be done about poverty in Polk County. When the women of the Church Women United were finally ready to get to work on Feb. 2, 1991, they set up shop in a Columbus United Methodist Church classroom with a telephone, volunteers and a half time staff person. In the first six months of operation, most of the help given was for food. Food pantries were set up at local churches. The Columbus Food Bank was supported by Columbus United Methodist, Columbus Presbyterian and Garrison Chapel Baptist Church. Then there was the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Food Bank, the Green Creek First Baptist Church Food Pantry and the Tryon Presbyterian Church Food Pantry, which was supported by Holy Cross Episcopal

B.J. Precourt in studio. (photo submitted)
Precourt to exhibit in Saluda B.J. Precourt begins a month long exhibit on Thursday, Feb. 3, at The Wine Cellar in Saluda. From 7 - 9 p.m., guests will have a chance to meet Precourt and learn about his work, finding out first hand what inspires him. Precourt isn’t easily reached, he does have a telephone (in his house), you can’t find his work on your handheld, your laptop or through any other technology. To see his art, you can visit a couple local galleries, his small out-ofthe-way barn-workshop, which is next to his home, or you can attend one of his rare exhibits. Precourt is a self-taught folk art carver and sculptor. “I never had a lesson,” he says. “I just kind of go with what’s in my mind.” Precourt says he believes there are brilliant wood carvers that put a lot of time and effort into their art. As for his own achievements, he is very humble. He doesn’t carve to sell, but instead, his objective is to share his work with people. He is passionate about carving. “I have an imagination that overcomes the fact that I don’t have a great ability,” he says. “I let my imagination run wild.” Before he puts knife, chisel or gouge to a piece of wood, Precourt thinks of a story to fit his mood as well as the shape of the wood. The stories come from his dreams, what he reads, what he sees. He says he especially enjoys carving people such as
Fish on a fence by B.J. Precourt
someone with a large nose or long beard. “I’m very observant,” he says with a laugh. All of his carvings are from found wood. Some from the back of factories and landfills, but mostly from “my treks through the woods. Gathering takes about as much time as carving” says Precourt. At age 50 Precourt retired from a successful carrier as a glazier in New Jersey to move to North Carolina where he and his wife, Julie, embraced a different lifestyle. First, they restored an old house, and then they proceeded to follow their artistic dreams. Julie is an exhibiting quilt maker, active in a local quilters’ guild.

For six years the students at Polk Central Elementary School have been offered the opportunity to select their own book from a collection of hundreds. The Rotary Club of Tryon, under the coordination of Rotarians Bill and Carolyn Jones, head the Reading Is Fundamental (RIF) program with the school teachers and staff to select appropriate books for the students at their various levels of reading ability. Three distributions are provided by the Rotarians annually as the classes meet in the library by grades, hear selected readings from book offerings and then peruse four large tables of books for their selection. The students check-out their books for inventory purposes. More than 400 books are distributed though the RIF program each session which is funded by the Rotary Club of Tryon Foundation. Rotarians performing RIF functions in addition to Bill and Carolyn Jones included Art Brown, Carol Browning, Hoot Livingston, Frank Ortiz, Les Stobbe, Judy Threlfall, Ron Wingo, Marshall Yeager and Paul Zimmerman. – article submitted
