Feeding a healthier future: SmartStart by Samantha Hurst
Kids attending Country Bear Day School in Columbus didn’t scrunch their noses or scowl when their turkey and cheese sandwiches began arriving on wheat instead of white bread. The preschoolers even smiled recently when they took heaping bites of broccoli, said director Pam Jolley. “I think more and feel better about what we are feeding them,” Jolley said about Country Bear’s participation in the Rutherford/Polk
Smart Start NAP SACC program. Smart Start initiated the Nutrition and Physical Activity SelfAssessment for Child Care (NAP SACC) project in one Polk County and five Rutherford County childcare facilities last summer. Country Bear Day School in Columbus began the program in July 2010 with 30 Polk County children, ages 2-5, benefiting from the project. Smart Start Director Cathy Bowers said the idea targets in-

creasing physical activity and improving nutrition among kids before they reach elementary school. In recent years there has been a big push to reduce childhood obesity at the elementary level, but Bowers said by then kids have developed poor, deep-rooted habits. “With a 15.6 percent obesity rate in Polk County children before they’re even old enough to attend school, we feel it is extremely important not to wait until they’re (Continued on page 3)

school-age to start working on better nutrition and increased physical activity,” Bowers said. Through NAP SACC, health specialist Karen Powell works with the centers to create obtainable goals. Jolley said she was surprised to see how well even her younger kids took to the new foods. “The cauliflower they looked at kind of funny at first but they love the broccoli,” Jolley said. “It’s a great program. The kids are getting to see a variety of foods – more fresh vegetables.” Kids attending Country Bear have tried broccoli and cauliflower and now also drink 2-percent milk instead of whole. Powell said she has noticed a reduction in the number of servings of juice during the week. She said while these seem like healthy options, juices often contain exorbitant amounts of sugar. Powell
suggests offering water or milk instead. But even milk presents an issue. Powell said many childcare providers and parents opt for giving whole milk to kids. She said once a kid is past the age of 2, whole milk should be replaced with less fattening versions such as 1 or 2 percent. With the first year of the project 3/4 of the way completed, Bowers said she’s been amazed by the positive feedback. “We initially had apprehensions on how well the teachers would cooperate and ‘be invested’ in making necessary changes,” Bowers said. “We’re elated that in the participating center in Polk County and the five centers in the project in Rutherford County, all the directors and teachers have shown overwhelming support of the project. They realize the important part they can play in preventing and reducing the obesity rate in young children.” Powell doesn’t expect the centers to meet their goals alone. She (Continued on page 4)

sits down with each one to discuss the goals and break them down into obtainable action items. She said menus present the most looming issues in these centers. Powell said all the centers must meet federal USDA guidelines for their food programs. When nutrition directors or cooks come up with menus that fit these requirements, it becomes a struggle to get them to change things up, Powell said, because they might often be afraid of missing a federal guideline. The issue arises when you realize a Pop Tart qualifies as a bread under these rules, Powell said. She’d prefer to see centers serving pancakes or Cheerios than Pop Tarts. “We want the staff to be eating what the kids are eating as well,”

Powell said, pointing out that kids learn behaviors from the adults they are around. “We also want them to get the kids outside. They can paint outdoors or lead the kids in group activities. The main thing again is that we want teachers actually moving and participating with the kids – interaction is key.” She said it becomes difficult to convince a child to eat his or her veggies, when their daycare teacher is scarfing down a fast-food cheeseburger, or ask them to run and play tag when their teachers are sitting down chatting. Bowers said this also can’t be a one-time program. “We don’t want to do the program six months and then say, ‘Okay, you’re done and then drop efforts entirely. It’s about the follow up and building each time to (Continued on page 5)

improve,� Bowers said. “As long as Smart Start remains in the N.C. state budget next year, we intend to offer the program to more centers each year until we have involved all that are interested,� Bowers said. With less than 14 percent of Polk County’s birth to 4–year– olds enrolled in licensed childcare centers, however, there is only so much that can be done through Smart Start. Bowers said the next challenge is to reach young children attending childcare programs outside of Polk County or who stay at home with a parent, other family member or a babysitter.

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.

Let’s Learn to Be Green!
Conservation is the act of carefully protecting the planet from being polluted. A popular term for practicing conservation is “being green.” We must responsibly use the resources on the earth to keep from destroying them or depleting them to extinction. It is important to make sure that we have clean drinking water, pure land to grow healthy crops, and clean air to breathe. Conservation is also about protecting the earth’s animals and their ecosystems. All living things on earth are important; together we make the ecosystem of the planet work. For example, humans and many animals require oxygen d plants require carbon dioxide to live. Humans create carbon dien. In turn, we help create what each other needs in order to live. m is vital to maintain a habitable environment, so that the earth will lions of years. us way for a person to be green.

Polk volleyball’s Kailey Russell signs with Catawba Valley by Daniel Hecht
Polk County senior Kailey Russell recently signed a letter of intent to attend Catawba Valley Community College on a volleyball scholarship. CVCC, an NJCAA Division II school located in Hickory, competes in the Region X Carolinas/ Virginia Athletic Conference, and is well known for its powerhouse volleyball program. Lady Buccaneers head coach Shannon Hud(Continued on page 11)

Polk baseball hands Madison 11-6 conference defeat by Daniel Hecht
Eleven seems to be the magic number for Polk County’s baseball team this season. The Wolverines have averaged 11 runs per game in each of their nine wins this season. During Friday evening’s visit to Marshall, it was more of the same, as Polk triumphed over conference foe Madison County 11-6. With a shortage of healthy pitchers still plaguing the Wolverines, Coach Ty Stott was again forced to dip into his JV roster, tapping Elijah Williams as Friday night’s starter. Unlike Williams’ first varsity outing four nights earlier, when the sophomore pitched a solid 5-2/3 innings against Swain, Madison hitters were not as charitable, roughing up the sophomore for three runs in the bottom of the first. With just one out and the bases loaded, Stott lifted Williams in favor of Roberto Taft, who managed to stop the bleeding and record the final two outs of the inning. Although the Patriots held the early lead at the end of the first by a score of 3-1, the Wolverines came charging back in the top of the second to knot the game at
three apiece, and then added four more runs in the top of the third to take a 7-4 lead. In the bottom of the fourth, Madison hitters made a run for it, touching up Taft for three runs to draw within one, but after that it was all Polk, as the Wolverines added two runs in the sixth inning and two insurance runs in the seventh for the final margin of victory. Taft picked up the win, working 4-2/3 innings and allowing just three hits while striking out four, improving to 3-0 on the season. Dakota Turner pitched in relief for the Wolverines in the final two innings, holding the Patriots scoreless, including pitching out of a two on, one out jam in the bottom of the sixth. Offensively, the Wolverines hammered Madison hurler Tyler Rogers for 10 hits on the evening. Standouts at the plate for Polk included Andre Overholt, who went 4 for 5 on the night with a double and two RBIs, and Taft, who went 3 for 4 with a home run and three RBIs. With the win, Polk improves to 10-2 on the season overall, and 6-1 in Western Highlands confer-

Lady Wolverines soccer wins nail-biter against Avery by Jordan DeVere
On Friday, April 8, the Polk County Lady Wolverines varsity soccer team played host to a strong Avery County team. The game was close and intense from start to finish, with the Wolverines edging Avery out 1-0 in overtime. In the first half, Avery clearly showed its strength as it controlled the ball for the majority of the first half. However, this strong showing was met by an even better show put on by Polk goalie Donna Every. She did everything but stand on her head as she made save after save, keeping the game tied. The first half ended tied at 0-0. At the start of the second half, Polk played with more intensity and began to put some pressure on Avery’s defense. Brittany Phipps sent several shots at Avery’s net that rolled just wide. She had a great chance at the end of the half but the ball took an unlucky

son, entering her third season at CVCC, said Russell first caught the attention of her coaching staff at the beginning of the year during an open gym. “As soon as I saw Kailey, I knew we needed her,” said Hudson Friday at the signing, held at the Polk County High School library. “We like to go out and find great recruits like Kailey, and we’re really excited to get her.” Hudson added that she expects Russell to receive significant playing time immediately. “I really liked all of the facilities,” said Russell, explaining what attracted her to CVCC. “It’s really nice there, and everyone was very welcoming. As soon as I went in, I just got the feeling that that’s where I should be.” In addition to being named all conference in volleyball last year, Russell also excelled at soccer and basketball.
bounce and at the end of regulation the game was still tied 0-0. The teams had very few scoring opportunities in the first overtime period. Finally, in the second overtime period the lady Wolverines broke through Avery’s defense with a goal on a header by Peyton Habenicht. Asked how she felt on making such a clutch goal, she responded: “It’s a rare occasion to make a header on a corner, but I’m glad we made one when it counted most.” Polk went on to win on Habenicht’s goal 1-0. Coach Lennox (Rock) Charles said he was happy with the second half performance. “We did a better job in the second half of keeping possession. We had a little more energy, and overall after a little success our confidence took off.” The win keeps Polk in contention for the conference champtionship.
“As soon as I saw Kailey, I knew we needed her. We like to go out and find great recruits like Kailey, and we’re really excited to get her.… Kailey is the third girl we’ve signed to the program this year. We’ve already picked up a libero and a great setter, so we’re glad to get Kailey as a middle.” -- CVCC coach Shannon Hudson
With nine returning players, including two returning all-conference standouts, expectations will be high this fall at CVCC. “Kailey is the third girl we’ve signed to the program this year,” said Hudson. “We’ve already picked up a libero and a great setter, so we’re glad to get Kailey as a middle.”

TLT announces cast for ‘Done to Death’ The Tryon Little Theater wraps up its 2010-2011 season with Fred Carmichael’s mystery/ comedy “Done to Death,” directed by theatre professional Neela Muñoz, with performances at the workshop April 28 - May 1 and May 5 - 8. Once-famous mystery writers have been gathered together in hopes they can combine their individual methods of solving murders into a boffo TV mystery series. Writers of sophisticated murders, another from the James Bond school, a retired writer of the hard-hitting method and an aging queen of the logical murder all find themselves in Vulture’s Vault, a suitably mysterious decrepit house on an island in the Caribbean. But in this parody of every mystery plot, hero and villain created in the last 50 years, egos
bump into egos as some major one-upmanship takes the stage. Cast as the witty and sophisticated Jessica and Whitney Olive are Petra and Ed Harrelson, most recently seen for TLT in February’s production of “Oliver.” Cathy Millwood, seen earlier this season in “Journey to Mitford,” plays the Agatha Christie-type Mildred Z. Maxwell. John Hugill, who appeared in both “Oliver” and “Journey to Mitford” this season, will play the aging dapper writer Rodney Duckton (among others) and Harry Grymes will return to the TLT stage as TV project producer Jason Summers. As Jane and a couple of other young lovelies is Betty Ann Bishop, who brings extensive theater experience to this, her first North Carolina show. Joshua Moffit, seen in “Oliver” this season and for years in
How do you build a weird old house where there will soon be a murder a minute? If you’re the set crew for the Tryon Little Theater building the stage set for the comedy/mystery “Done to Death,” you have Jimmy McCain on one side of a flat with Bob Richardson on the other side, bracing against Jimmy’s drill installing window shutters, while Ray Milczewski works on the door frame of the main entrance. Doesn’t look like much now, but just wait until “Done to Death” plays the workshop April 28 - May 8. (photo submitted)

This play features one of the more independent, headstrong, in-your-face princesses, Briar Rose, along with Branwen, the really nice witch who tries to out-spell the evil Modron and Prince Quain, who comes with
the standard princely features, minus bravery, talents, and competence.

Hikers on a past SCLT hike. (photo submitted)
Saluda Community Land Trust sponsors hikes The Saluda Community Land Trust recently held two successful hikes. These hikes were sponsored by SCLT in collaboration with the celebration of Saluda’s 130th birthday. The first hike was held on Saturday, April 2, with Nancy Barnett as guide. This hike was on private property located along a ridge in
a cove of the North Pacolet River. The second hike was held Saturday, April 9, on the “Missing 40” with Chuck Hearon as guide. Saluda Community Land Trust leases this trail through the city of Tryon and the public is welcome to use it at any time. It is suggested that hikers get with a trail master (Chuck Hearon or Nancy Barnett) if it is their first walk to learn where property
lines and trails are accessible. The SCLT is still working on marking trails and this is a good way to know that you are on property that has been designated for hikes. Barnett has offered to do a repeat hike on Sunday, April 17, through private property in order to share wildflowers that were not in bloom for the first hike. Interested hikers should meet
in the parking lot at the Saluda Library at 2 p.m. The hikes are free. It is suggested hikers not bring dogs on this hike because the flowers are too close to the trail and may accidentally be trampled. For more information, call 828-749-1560 or visit www. saludaclt.org. – article submitted
Celebrate National Bookmobile Day with PCPL BRCA Heritage PCPL holds ‘open house’ April 13
Wednesday, April 13 is National Bookmobile Day, a time to celebrate the contributions of mobile library services in the United States. For more than 100 years, bookmobiles have provided access to information and technology and supplied resources for life-long learning to Americans of all walks of life, no matter where they are – rural areas, cities or suburbs.
The Polk County Public Library (PCPL) is celebrating National Bookmobile Day by having an “open house” in the library parking lot from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. Tour the PCPL’s mobile library and meet the staff. Refreshments will be served. The bookmobile’s schedule is posted on the library’s website and is also listed in the Tryon Daily Bulletin the first of the month. If you know of an area that would benefit from a monthly bookmobile stop that is not currently on the list, call the
“Bookmobile Ladies” at 828894-8721 or email Rita Owens at rowens@polklibrary.org. Part of National Library Week, National Bookmobile Day is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA), the Association for Bookmobile and Outreach Services (ABOS), the Association for Rural and Small Libraries (ARSL).

My life changed in the blink of an eye As you probably are aware, I am an avid bicyclist, and am always talking about health issues as they relate to other seniors. Three weeks ago that all changed. It was a Tuesday morning, and I was out for my usual 50-mile bicycle ride with the small group of other senior friends with whom I’ve been riding for almost 16 years. We were just turning into the parking lot where we stop to get coffee and take a break before beginning our return trip home. I’ve done that ride hundreds of times, but on this morning there was sand on the street where I made my turn. Doing only 10 miles an hour, I turned, hit the sand and within seconds was down on the ground, unconscious. Fortunately, we all wear helmets, or I would have been killed. I came to as I was being loaded into the back of an ambulance to be taken to the hospital near my home. Good news for you cyclists out there – the bike was fine! At the emergency room I received an MRI for any head trauma, and an X-ray of my left side. While there was no indication of any trauma to the head, I had suffered a badly broken hip – to be precise, multiple fractures of the acetabulum or hip socket, not the femur or leg bone. This is when and where I be-

a pain pill now?” After a total of three days in the hospital, I was transported by ambulance to a rehab near my home, where I began regimen of physical therapy, twice daily, surrounded by dozens of people about 20-30 years older than I. The good news is I have Medicare and a top of the line supplement so I can focus on getting well and not worry about the hospital or rehab expenses and bills. What this has taught me is that planning for the unexpected in our lives is a requirement. I’m living proof that doing so makes a great deal of difference, because just a few days ago I was a carefree senior, riding my bicycle with my friends. My life was changed to being a senior with a fractured hip, and becoming one of many seniors in recovery in a rehab center. There’s a lot of truth in the saying that you don’t begin to appreciate what you have until you lose it. And believe me, bad things can happen to anyone in the blink of an eye.
