Polk County wrestler Tyler Philpott’s journey culminated in high school glory last weekend when he brought home a state championship for the first time in his wrestling career. Two years ago as a sophomore, Philpott qualified, but didn’t place. Last season, the 285-pounder finished third. This year, after a season littered with vanquished foes, Philpott stood atop the hill alone. And standing there with his arm held up by the referee, Philpott’s only thought was joy. “It was an unbelievable feeling,” the senior said. “It was probably the best feeling I’ve ever had.” In that moment the first person he thought of to celebrate with was his coach, Brandon Schweitzer. The two developed a bond over the last three years and (Continued on page 3)

Polk approves Medicaid waiver program by Leah Justice

Polk commissioners agreed last week by a majority vote to join the 1915(b)(c) Medicaid waiver program for mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services. If approved by Polk’s mental health local management entity (LME), Western Highlands, the change will mean Western Highlands will administer Medicaid

services. The state currently contracts Medicaid services with ValueOptions and the state is trying to phase the services back to LMEs. Polk County approved a resolution Monday, Feb. 21 to join the program. The vote was 4-1, with commissioner Tom Pack voting against the move. Commissioners heard last week from Niels Eskelsen, for-

• Wrestling (continued from page 1)

Schweitzer (a former state champion) guided Philpott down the path to the state championship. “He knows what it takes to win a state title,” Philpott said. “He led me down the right path.” In the finals, Philpott found a familiar foe. For the second straight weekend, the Wolverine faced Brevard’s Trey Hemphill. He beat him in the regional finals the week before, 5-2. “We knew going in that this wouldn’t be a ‘give-me’ match,” Schweitzer said. “We had a lot of talks about maintaining focus and finishing the journey.” Philpott was aggressive the entire match. Hemphill’s strategy was more defensive, so much so that he was tagged with a stalling penalty in the first period. The match remained tied 1-1 through the third period, when Hemphill was once again penalized for stalling. “I knew he was backing away the whole match,” Philpott said. “I knew I had to apply pressure.” That aggressiveness won a state championship and pushed Philpott to the 2A pinnacle in state wrestling.

“It was a good end to the year,” Schweitzer said, “and a nice culmination of Tyler’s hard work.”

Two other Wolverines placed in the finals as well. J.J. Maxwell capped off his season with a

runner-up prize in the 171-pound class. Juan Vera finished runnerup in the 103-pound category.

ARC Services of Rutherford Polk changes names by Samantha Hurst

No longer affiliated with The ARC of North Carolina or The ARC of the United States, the ARC of Rutherford Polk, which provides social services for individuals with developmental disabilities, is now the Foothills Social Network. Board treasurer Francis Tatnall said the group will retain its 501(c) (3) status. He said while the board is sad about the change he believes it will be beneficial in the long run. He said the board didn’t think it could spare even the $350 the national organization was asking for annual dues. After all, he said they operate on less than $5,000 annually. “As a result of our announcement we’ve got a bit more interest from people who haven’t been involved before,” Tatnall said. “We are a relatively small group – many of us getting older – and we need to keep focused on what we do best.”

The group organized eight years ago. Since then they have received most of their funding through local community organizations such as Thermal Belt Rotary and businesses such as Walmart and Zaxby’s. Members also pay regular dues. “It varies,” Tatnall said. “Sometimes we think we are going to go out of business but then someone will come along and donate a few hundred dollars to allow us to do another event,” he said. Anyone interested in participating, volunteering, becoming a member or donating can call 828-859-7099 in Polk County. Donations may be sent to Foothills Social Network, P.O.

mended that its counties approve the waiver, as has the Polk County Mental Health Advisory Board. Of the eight counties in Western Highlands, only a few have voted on the waiver, but all have been in favor. The resolution that Polk County approved last week included language that ensures Polk will not be financially responsible for any more funding to Western Highlands than it gives annually for the services. The resolution also calls for the eight county managers to continue to oversee the Western Highlands board and that monthly reports be given. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson is the current chair of the Western Highland board. Western Highlands consists of the counties of Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania and Yancey. Polk County joined the LME in 2002 after the state reformed mental health and mandated that counties join together to form LMEs.

waiver program and Eskelsen answered “yes,” but said funding is based on a fixed rate, not a fixed sum. “This could get complicated real fast,” Eskelsen said. “They do cap funding that the LME is going to have, but it’s based on historical costs. They give you a fixed amount based on the number of Medicaid recipients who live in your area. If the number of Medicaid population goes up, you will get more.” Eskelsen said the big risk is that Medicaid is an entitled service, meaning you can’t deny a Medicaid recipient a service that is recommended, but the LME is obligated to find and fund those services. If the majority of the eight counties in Western Highlands approve the Medicaid waiver, Western Highlands will receive approximately $93 million more in funding for the Medicaid service. The added responsibility will mean approximately 50 more employees for Western Highlands. Western Highlands has recom-

Farmers markets to accept EBT/debit payments this year by Samantha Hurst

Local farmers market organizers expect to make it easier for consumers to purchase fresh, local vegetables from farmers markets this season with the installation of EBT/debit machines. Patrick Mclendon, who serves the Polk County Office of Agricultural Economic Development from AmeriCorps’ Project Conserve, said the segment of the population that falls within EBT and food stamp income brackets is often left behind in local food actions. “They are regulated to what they can buy,” Mclendon said. “So we wanted to provide this service not only for our vendors as another source of income, but so members of the community could spend their money on local, fresh nutritious produce.” To rectify this situation and connect more people with local food, the Rutherford-PolkMcDowell District Health Department’s Eat Smart Move More NC program provided the necessary funding to initiate the program. The $500 donation allowed managers of local markets to purchase and maintain a wireless point of sale machine to process EBT, credit and debit transactions, Mclendon said. Few markets in Western North Carolina currently provide access to EBT and Food Stamp machines, he said. Mclendon said he can’t count the number of

people who leave the market on a given day because they don’t have enough cash on hand. McClendon said the process would work like this: customers at the markets wishing to pay for produce and other items with any of the above methods would stop by a central booth where they would pay for market tokens or scrip. The customers could then use those tokens at any vendor booth that displays a sign indicating they accept tokens. Those vendors would then turn in their tokens at the end of the day and receive a receipt for their records. They would receive a check in that amount in the mail or at the next market. Mclendon stressed the program is voluntary for vendors and none will be required to participate. He said he does encourage participation, however, because it would benefit not only consumers but vendors as well. “The goal of the program is to increase the use of EBT and Food Stamps funds by eligible consumers to increase local and nutritious food consumption while also generating a new source of customers for vendors,” reads the program manual. Two separate tokens, distinctly marked by color, will be used to distinguish between EBT and credit card customers. This must be done because EBT cannot be accepted for the purchase of non-food items such as soaps and crafts. EBT customers can

return their tokens for a refund on their account but they cannot receive change for their tokens. One key point for consumers to know is that they will be allowed up to $25 per token transaction and two transactions per day. Therefore, they will not be able to obtain more than $50 in tokens in a given market day. They can use their leftover tokens for future markets. “It becomes a much bigger connection to the local food movement and they in turn spend their money and it grows our economy in Polk County,”

Mclendon said. He said the consumption of local food also helps reduce an area’s reliance on gas and big box corporations. “We saw a rise in local food buying the last time [gas prices rose] because they didn’t want to drive to go shopping for produce. If we can keep more things coming to our tables from Polk County it makes us more able to weather potential economic storms,” he said. The program will begin with the first farmers market of the year on April 19.

Asparagus producers may be eligible for federal grant funds Sign-up period for grants ends April 8

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced recently that $15 million is available to domestic asparagus producers to compensate for marketing losses resulting from imports

during the 2004-2007 crop years. Affected producers may now apply for compensation. The Asparagus Revenue Market Loss Assistance Payment Program (ALAP) is authorized by the Food, Conservation and Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill). The Commod-

ity Credit Corporation (CCC) will provide an allocation of $7.5 million in payments for asparagus marketed as fresh, and $7.5 million for processed asparagus. The sign up period ends on April 8, 2011. Eligible producers must also have produced and marketed

asparagus in commercial quantities in commercial markets in the U.S. during both of the 2003 and 2007 crop years. For more information, contact the nearest Farm Service Agency county office or visit www.fsa.usda.gov. – article submitted

‘Patterns of Perception’ exhibit at Tryon Arts Artists’ reception Friday, March 4 from 6 – 8 p.m. “Patterns of Perception” is the latest exhibit to be held in the Gallery at Tryon Arts and Crafts. The community is invited to view this collection and attend the upcoming artists’ reception on Friday, March 4 from 6 – 8 p.m. at Tryon Arts and Crafts School, located at 373 Harmon Field Road. The exhibit features a collection of fiber and glass art from more than 30 local and regional artists. The show opened Feb. 18 and will run through March 31. Showcasing stained glass, fused glass, jewelry, quilts, woven items, knitted blankets, linens and more, the exhibit is a representation of the variety of

styles, techniques and materials that are used in both glass and fiber arts. The inspiration for the show came from a recent discussion at the school about the commonalities found in so many crafts. The fascination with the similarities and contrasts in texture and pattern between glass and fiber seemed especially strong and needed to be explored through an exhibit. The collection in the gallery is the result. Explore the show to see how stained glass panels mirror quilted pieces. Woven glass hangs beside hand woven tapestry, showing how much technique can change when using different materials. Colors fused in glass change just as they do when dyed in a silk scarf while other glass pieces emulate the depth and texture of knitted cables or embroidery. The artist’wine and cheese recep-

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.

The Land Of China

ies Word Search

he names hidden in the puzzle below.

China is the largest country on the Continent of Asia and is home to more than one-sixth of the entire world’s population. Due to its vast size, it has a very diverse mix of climates and geography. It has a rich and ancient history, with evidence of some of the first people more than 100,000 years ago in the lands that today are known as China. The major crop and staple in China is rice. The official language is Mandarin Chinese, and many people practice Taoism, which is more of a life philosophy than a faith. Other religions are found in China, such as Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. The Capital of China is Beijing, which is home to the largest square in the world, Tiananmen Square. Most of the Chinese population live outside of the cities in rural towns and villages. The civilization of China has been in existence for more than 4,000 years. The first dynasty, The Shang dynasty, was established around 1700 BC. Each dynasty was ruled by a succession of emperors. After the Shang dynasty ended around 1100 BC, several others ruled, such as the Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Between the Song and Ming dynasties, a group of invaders called the Mongols, led by Genghis Khan, took control of China. They held control of the empire for almost 90 years. The Qing was the last dynasty of the Empire of China. In 1912, amid a rebellious campaign to bring about change in the Chinese Empire, the last Emperor of China stepped down, declaring China a Republic. During the early 20th century, China’s government was converted to a communism; on October 1, 1949, the Country was renamed The People’s Republic of China with President Hu Jintao as the Head of State. The Island of Taiwan, which was once part of the same government as mainland China, is referred to as simply The Republic of China. Many disputes over who actually governs the island remain today.

David Parris

Parris featured at Saluda Wine Cellar Saluda potter David Parris will be featured at the “Meet the Artist” event at The Wine Cellar at the Saluda Inn on Thursday, March 3 from 7 - 9 p.m. where guests will have a chance to meet Parris and learn about his work. He will have some large pots and vessels on display and for sale during the month of March. David Parris has lived most of his life in the small mountain town of Saluda. Parris spent many years expressing himself through the art of woodcarving. While taking his first pottery lesson at the Tryon Arts and Crafts with Andrew Stephenson, he realized he could use his wood carving skills and tools to carve the clay. That is when he started carving face jugs. Parris has attended several local art schools and seminars taking with him more knowledge, which has given him more freedom. Parris’ style blends the basic primitive with the creative and artistic. “Pottery allows me to work and create with my hands. It gives me a chance to experiment with different clays, glazes and techniques. I really enjoy the challenge and art of making large pots,” says Parris.

TAPAS paint-out to be held March 5 in Saluda

Talk to a lawyer

A new artist’s group has been formed – Tryon Area Plein Air Society (TAPAS). En plein air is a French expression which means “in the open air” and is used to describe outdoor painting. Artists have long painted outdoors, but in the mid-19th century working in natural light became particularly important to the Barbizon school and Impressionism. The popularity of painting en plein air increased in the 1870s with the introduction of paints in tubes. The local area has a

long history of artists painting en plein air, both individually and in groups, and this group strives to continue the tradition. The TAPAS group is for artists with an interest in the participation and promotion of plein-air painting, by connecting members with each other as painting companions and providing opportunities to paint local landscapes outdoors. The group will also promote community awareness of pleinair painting through exhibits and the organization of paint-outs.

TAPAS paint-outs are currently held on the first Saturday of the month at 1 p.m. The March paint-out will be Saturday, March 5 in Saluda, meeting in front of Ward’s Grill at 1 p.m. The group will paint in town or on the property at Cabin Fever.

The public is invited to attend this program, which is titled “The Wonderful World of Organ Music.” Organists performing this year will include Carole Bartol, John Gardner, Eleanor Roemer, Lesley Bush – the minister of music at Tryon Presbyterian – and also Susan Mehnke, who is the organist/ choir director for the Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Tryon.

A student led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. After the

pledge, commander Pike, Taylor and Burrell folded the flag with assistance of the scouts, while Taylor explained what each fold meant. The students were told the proper way to handle and care for the flag and the proper way to retire an old worn and torn flag. The presentation was on the origin of the pledge, the evolution of the flag, “I Am the Flag” and Veteran’s Day. After each presentation there was a question and answer period.

Protect your rights to compensation

To the Editor: I would like to inform the working public about a serious threat to the rights of injured workers. Some North Carolina lawmakers are introducing legislation, which if passed, will drastically reduce workers’ compensation benefits. Families that rely on workers’ compensation benefits to pay for food, clothing, shelter and other basic necessities may be unable to pay their bills. Your state representatives are being pressured by big business and insurance company lobbyists to significantly reduce these benefits. Some of these changes may apply to you. One of the changes being pushed is a law that will automatically cut off weekly workers’ compensation benefits after a certain number of weeks. This law will automatically stop weekly benefits to an injured worker, even if he or she is still disabled and unable to return to any type of work. Another change being pushed will stop compensation even before the automatic cutoff if the insurance company can show there is a job within the injured workers’ physical restrictions. Compensation will be stopped, Notice of Public HeariNg ProPosed ameNdmeNt to tHe ZoNiNg ordiNaNce city of saluda, NortH caroliNa Notice is hereby given that a Public Hearing will be held by the board of commissioners of the city of saluda at the saluda Public library upstairs conference room on monday, march 14th, 2011 at 7:00 Pm, for the purpose of considering an amendment to the zoning ordinance. the proposed amendment concerns regulations regarding the size of accessory buildings in relation to home occupations. a copy of the proposed amendments is on file in the City Clerk’s office for inspection by all interested citizens. doris t. marion, cmc City Clerk adv. 3/1,14

even if the employer will not hire the worker because of the worker’s injury, age education or experience. Compensation will be stopped even if the job pays a lot less than the workers’ pre-injury job, and even if the job has no room for advancement and no benefits. The insurance companies want absolute control over selecting which doctors will treat injured workers and they want the right to pick up the phone and talk to your treating doctors, without your knowledge or permission. Don’t let our state government hand out corporate welfare to the business and insurance companies while they cut off needed benefits to injured and disabled families. If benefits are cut off, injured workers may have no choice but to shift to public benefit programs. Our state budget can’t take on this burden, which is the responsibility of the employer or insurance company. Our economy needs to grow and it cannot grow if families can no longer pay for their food, houses, or cars. The only way to prevent this bill from becoming law is for you, your friends and family to contact your local legislators and ask them to vote against this bill. Your state house representative and state senator need to hear from you NOW. The contact information for your elected officials is listed below. Call and write them and tell them to vote against new laws that reduce benefits to injured workers. State Rep. W. David Guice N.C. House of Representatives 300 N.
