Tryon mayor: Delayed mountain water source has cost town $10-15k by Leah Justice
Tryon officials are concerned about costly delays in getting the town’s mountain water source online. “I feel that this issue should have been resolved months ago,” said Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples. “To the best of Tryon’s ability, through the company we hired, working with the Army Corp of Engineers and the (N.C.) Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR), we should have completed this project in 2010.” The town’s water plant upgrade, which includes upgrades to a mountain water source the town hopes to use along with its current Lake Lanier source, has encountered numerous delays. The most recent delay has been the trout-spawning season, which has

“There’s just so many cool places in the state,” Daniel said. “In your county alone, there are so many there. I have to say Polk County was not a region I had explored so that brought me an extra excitement to discover these places.” A travel writer by trade, Daniel said the Piedmont Farm Tour in eastern North Carolina, which includes 40 farm tours in a given weekend, always excited her. “I used to love reading the brochure for the farms you could visit – I just loved reading about what all the farmers did and what they grew. So, I thought it would be great to provide a farm guide book for the entire state.” And she set out to do just that. Traveling 23,000 miles over the course of two to three years, Daniel finally whittled down the possibilities to 430 listings. “I got really obsessed with seeing everything I could,” she said.
Author Diane Daniel chose to highlight the Apple Mill in Saluda in her new book Farm Fresh because of the unique experience she said customers enjoy at the family-owned business. The Atkins even create their own handmade wood boxes for gift boxes. (photo by Samantha Hurst)
Daniel said she did “beaucoups of research” by studying reference guides such as the local food guide put out by the Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project, talking to county extension agents, touring the state and making numerous phone calls
and emails. Not just any farm or agriculture business could make the cut, Daniel said. She was looking for something special. “I’m very interested in travel that connects people with authentic experiences – not manufac-

prevented work from being completed. The season will be over tomorrow, April 16. Last December, the town received a stop work order on the mountain water intakes after the Tryon Garden Club expressed concern over silt created by the work. The town’s intakes are located on town property, but access to the property is through an easement from the Tryon Garden Club, which owns all the surrounding property. Tryon Garden Club officials said in January the club wanted to ensure the work was done properly. An agreement was worked out for the town to place sand bags, which required further permits from the Corps of Engineers. “I am very concerned with regard to the water situation in the town of Tryon.

mountain water when it constructed the water plant and began using water from Lake Lanier. The town owns the bed of Lake Lanier and has jurisdiction over the water. Following a drought in 2003, when the town had to impose mandatory water restrictions, officials decided while the town was upgrading the water plant, it should also make changes that would allow mountain water to be available as a water source. The turbidity of Lake Lanier and the mountain water is different, so different processing has to be done to combine the two sources. Two intakes, one on Fork Creek and another on Colt Creek, are the last of the upgrades needed in order to use both water sources. Upgrades already completed at the water plant include renovating the old water plant building into offices, with the downstairs of the old building con(Continued on page 6)

County votes to give Polk Schools $300k more next year by Leah Justice
Having received word that the state is looking at a 9-percent cut in school funding next fiscal year, Polk County commissioners approved giving the schools $300,000 additional funding. The county board met Monday, April 4 and unanimously approved granting the additional funding. The school board informally requested $300,000 from the county in January. Commissioner Ted Owens said last week that he understands the N.C. House of Representatives is ready to submit its budget proposal for next year and it sounds like the House is presenting a 9-percent cut in school funding. He suggested the county go ahead and grant the additional funding so the school system can propose its budget. Commissioner chairman Ray Gasperson said he thinks there is broad support for the county to assist the schools. Commissioner Tom Pack said he thinks the school system is in the same position as the county in not knowing what the state revenues will be next year. County manager Ryan Whitson said he has already included the funding in the county’s budget proposal for next year, which begins July 1. Pack also asked the county last week to look at other cuts so the county can consider helping the school system pay for repairs to the well system at Polk Central School. The county previously considered running county water lines to Polk Central so the school system would not have to make

state-required repairs estimated at $30,000 - $40,000, but decided not to run the lines immediately. The school board requested that the county put higher priority on funding programs and teachers immediately rather than running public water lines. Polk County School Superintendent Bill Miller presented a budget proposal to commissioners in January that assumed a 10-percent cut in state funding. The school system plans to use money it has on hand, along with the county’s additional funding and approximately $150,000 in reductions, to make up for the state shortfall. The school system has leftover federal stimulus money as well as fund balance to handle next year’s state shortfall. If the state’s trend continues, however, school officials have said that money cannot continue to be taken out of fund balance. In addition, the stimulus money was a one-time allotment and will no longer be available. The county currently budgets $4,547,054 for the school system. With an additional $300,000, the county anticipates funding Polk County Schools over $487,000. Polk County Schools’ total budget is approximately $26 million, which includes federal and state funding, grants and local funding. The state normally funds the school approximately $16 million annually. Polk County has 2,400 students plus 152 enrolled in pre-school. Current facilities and buildings have no major needs in the near future, Miller told commissioners earlier this year.

James Floyd Jackson
James Floyd Jackson went to be with the Lord on April 12, 2011. He was born on July 30, 1920 in Columbus and was the son of the late Robert Furman Jackson and the late Ollie Jane Biddy Jackson. He made his home on Highway 9 in Sunny View and attended Cooper’s Gap Baptist Church until his last years in Colorado and West Virginia. He had eight brothers and sisters, seven of whom predeceased him: Henry, Frank, Lloyd, Ray, Sally, Fanny and Lizzy, and is survived by one sister, Pantha Marie Jackson Bridgeman (Tot). He married the late Nellie Maria Carlone Jackson on May 7, 1949. They had two children, Janelle Howard's antiques - Page 12 Emily Jackson Wilson of Rosman, N.C., and Nick Jackson of Vale, N.C.

child, Brian Nicholas Hicks of Knoxville, Tenn. Jim had seven great-grandchildren: Nicholas Andrew Smith, Taylor Michelle Wilson, Tyler James Smith, Bonnie Leigh Wilson, Chelsey Ann Nellene Klie, James Anthony Roderick Klie and Zachariah Issaiah Nathaniel Klie. He was a veteran of the U.S. Army and was an electrician by trade. However, he was most famous for his custom-made water wheels and his “pickers heaven” on Highway 9. His mother’s home was the first in Polk County to have electricity. He also used his electrical skills to wire the first space shuttle launched from Cape Canaveral. His great love for his family and his humility he showed to everyone is a great inspiration to those who knew him best. He would give you the shirt off his back. He made great sacrifices for his family and his faith was shown to the very end. The family will receive family and friends at Cooper’s Gap Baptist Church on April 30, 2-4 p.m., with memorial services to follow. He will be dearly missed, never forgotten, and always admired. We love you, Daddy.

Landrum Police Department
Landrum Police Chief Bruce Shelnut reported his department carried out 65 traffic stops during March. The stops included 31 for speeding and nine for expired tags. There were also 15 criminal arrests, five criminal investigations, 41 warning citations, three accident reports and three funeral escorts.

Tenebrae performed at St. James Episcopal Church April 19 The St. James Episcopal Church Chamber Choir will sing Tenebrae at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 19. Tenebrae is an ancient order of service taken from the Latin word for “darkness” and refers to the combined monastic services of Matins and Lauds. The most conspicuous feature of this service is the gradual extinguishing of candles after each psalm or canticle is sung, until only the center Christ candle remains. Most of the music the choir will feature is Gregorian chant. The featured cantor will be Phillip Haynie, choral director at East Henderson High School. The three lessons from Jeremiah will be chanted in plainsong TREASURE - page 30
and the choir will also sing two famous Renaissance motets: Anerio’s “Christus factus est” and Allegri’s “Misere” (Psalm 51.) Near the end of the service, the Christ candle is hidden with a loud noise, typifying the earthquake at Christ’s death and the apparent victory of the forces of evil. The hidden Christ candle is ultimately restored to its place, symbolizing the resurrection. The congregation departs in silence by the light of the Christ candle. The public is welcome. The church is located at 766 N. Main Street in Hendersonville. For more information, contact Brad Gee at 828-694-6925 or visit stjamesepiscopal.com. – article submitted

State law allows elective credit for released-time religion classes as long as evaluations are based on secular criteria and public funds are not used. The plaintiffs said District 7’s elective course in religion is insensitive and discriminatory, isolating students who do not follow the majority religion. The plaintiffs said they plan to appeal the ruling of the judge, who concluded District 7’s released time policy does not violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. *** Spartanburg City Council voted to make the Beaumont Mill village a designated his-

“You’re my sweetheart, honey. No doubt about that,” said Art, who has defied doctors’ predictions that he would not live past 70 because of cancer in his face and neck. “Do I have to take it back?” Jeanette asked after sifting through the stacks of money. Art and Jeanette married while Art was on furlough from the Army in Germany. For their honeymoon, they drove to his aunt’s ranch in Great Falls, Mont. They had dinner in Huron, S.C., and ate in the bowling alley because they were told it was the best restaurant in town. Over the years they’ve lived in several different places across the country, following Art’s career in retail management with Montgomery Ward and WalMart. Art and Jeannette drive their grandchildren home from school each day and Art recently played in a golf tournament and won.

Facilitator Jim Hackney (center) discusses issues with TFAC board members at the recent strategic planning session. (photo submitted)
TFAC completes strategic plan The Board of Directors of Tryon Fine Arts Center recently completed the strategic planning process that was led by Jim Hackney of Alexander-Haas in Atlanta, a firm that specializes in helping arts organizations plan for the future. The Bradley Endowment Fund of the Polk County Community Foundation supplied the grant funds for the strategic plan, which was vital in determining the best “next steps” for the center for the upcoming year and for the next five years. Tryon Fine Arts Center has already embarked on several major steps that are the results of the new strategic plan. Expanding the donor base, keeping current and future donors informed and building community ownership are some of the top priorities of the plan. Strengthening marketing and educational efforts to young adults and families and improving overall visitor experiences are vital to the center’s new focus. The plan also focuses on strengthening youth education in the arts by working with the schools and other arts organizations to develop arts programs
for K-12. As a result of the plan, campus site planning is underway and TFAC is identifying immediate improvements that need to be accomplished with the existing building, while developing detailed projections for future needs. “We are very grateful to the Bradley Fund and the Polk County Community Foundation for providing the needed funds to help us develop a professional, well thought out strategic plan that will serve as our blueprint for the next five years,” said Beth Child, executive director of TFAC. For 42 years the Tryon Fine Arts Center has maintained an intimate 335-seat theater. Situated on a quiet, historical residential street surrounded by green spaces, the center also features two small galleries with rotating exhibits that are in constant use by Tryon Painters & Sculptors. The center strives to partner with local nonprofits and seeks to bring a variety of arts experiences to a variety of ages, helping to enhance the quality of life for the community through the power and magic of the arts. – article submitted

“I had a bad valve and 6 months to live. Now I can climb all 158 stairs from the lake to my house.” “ Living on Lake Nantahala, I love to be active…walking, fishing, boating. And at 80-years-old, I thankfully can still do all these things because of the care I received at Mission. They replaced my bad valve, and after only four days, I was back home. I know I received some of the best heart care in the country. Thanks to Mission and my rehab at Murphy Medical Center, I’m back out on the lake, doing the things I love.” Learn more about Mission’s comprehensive heart center at missionhearts.org.

Dr. Patricia Komorous presented a program at the Kiwanis Club’s Wednesday, February 9, meeting. Her topic was “Roles People Play.” Dr. Komorous, a licensed psychologist, said we live in hierarchical social groups with some socially prescribed roles. Humans’ selfesteem is dependent on our positions within our human tribes or groups - families, work place, churches, acquaintances, political parties, etc. Komorous also said, “There is always some tension in life between our need to be part of a community and our need to be true to ourselves as individuals. If we are to be happy, healthy people, each of us needs to find a comfortable balance that allows us to be both our individual selves and our “tribal” selves. Because we are meant to live in social groups, we reflexively tend to do what is necessary to fit in. The primary way that we adapt to our tribal situation is through the playing of roles. We emphasize those aspects of ourselves that fit the role we are playing and sup-
press the parts of ourselves that don’t. The roles we play can be positive or negative and can be healthy or unhealthy for us. It depends on how well the role we play fits our personalities, skills and values. “We tend to play the roles we assumed in our families of origin in many or most circumstances throughout our lives. We even tend to choose our mates for their potential to play roles in relationship to us that fit with the roles we learned to play in our families. In one-to-one relationships, pairs tend to fit together through complementary roles such as active-passive, givers-takers, dominant-submissive, aggressive-passive aggressive, bullies-victims, teachers-students and caretakers-sick people, to name a few possibilities. The minute that one member of a couple adopts a role, the other will begin to play the reciprocal role. To the extent our habitual roles are unhealthy or unpleasant for us, we, as individuals, need to take responsibility for (Continued on page 29)

Robert Williams believes ‘appearance matters’ in Polk
“Appearance Matters: Yes, it does!” These are the motivating words behind the actions of Robert Williams, shown above, as he removes a piece of roadside trash near his home. A resident of 777 South River Road, Robert’s Hayloft Farm is participating in the N.C. Adopt a Highway Program in Polk County. In doing so, he has agreed to pick up pieces of discarded roadside litter along a 2-mile section of state roadway at least four times a year for a period of four years. Have you ever been annoyed by the litter you see along our Polk County roadways or in front of your house? Would you like to join Williams and other volunteers in this project? The Polk County Appearance Commission is active in promoting a clean and green environment and could use your help in extending the reach of this key program. Information is available on www.beautifulfoothills.org or by looking up NCDOT AAH Program on the Internet. You may also call Burt Baer, serving on the Polk County Appearance Commission, at 828-859-9031 for more information. (photo submitted)

doing something about it, even though it is difficult.” As a therapist, Dr. Komorous said she tries to help clients achieve more positive roles in all their relationships and tribes. She encourages them to focus on themselves as individuals, to clarify for themselves what their values are and what kind of people they consciously choose to be. Then she helps them maintain that sense of self when faced with negative pressures from others. The children’s book, “Peeka-Boo Bedtime,” will be donated to a local school in Komorous’ honor. – article submitted

Steps to HOPE looks at impact of sexual assault, violence April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month What is the impact of sexual assault/violence? Every survivor has a distinctive way of reacting to sexual assault/violence. Some tell others right away what happened while others may keep their feelings inside for a long time – months, years or perhaps forever. It is important to respect each person’s choices and way of coping with this traumatic event. Whether an assault was completed or attempted and regardless of when it happened (recently or many years ago), a wide range of reactions may impact a victim’s daily functioning. A few of the common emotional, psychological and physical reactions are: • Emotional reactions: guilt, shame, self-blame, embarrassment, fear, sadness, isolation, vulnerability, anger, confusion, shock and denial; • Psychological reactions:
nightmares, flashbacks, depression, PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders, substance use or abuse, low self-esteem and phobias; • Physical reactions: changes in eating or sleeping patterns, increased startle response, physical injury, concerns about physical safety and concerns about pregnancy or contracting an STI or HIV. Sexual assault/violence also impacts parents, friends, partners, children, spouses and/or co-workers. As with any form of violence, sexual assault/violence tears at the fabric of community wellbeing. There are financial costs to communities including medical services, criminal justice expenses, crisis and mental health services fees. If you are a victim of sexual assault/violence, call Steps to HOPE’s 24-hour crisis line at 828-894-2340. In an upcoming article Steps to HOPE will focus on how to prevent sexual assault/violence. – article submitted

Munch on vegetables to lose weight I think all of us, who’ve tried to lose weight, have at some time heard the adage, “you have to eat to lose fat.” Actually it’s true, but no ever tells you what that really means. I’m going to tell you exactly what it means. Once you’ve eaten, food doesn’t merely fall through your body. It has to be “worked,” if you will, through your body. This not only includes digestion of foodstuffs, but the distribution of nutrients throughout the entire body, and the discarding of waste products also. This process involves both “voluntary” and “involuntary” actions by the body. To achieve this, calories, which are units of energy, must be burned. In other words, the body has to spend calories to process any amount of food. For instance to process any amount of food eaten, the body has to burn 100 calories. Let’s say you eat a 5 calorie grape tomato. You have in essence burned or used up 95 calories just by eating a 5 calorie grape tomato. Other water-rich vegetables will work the same way. Celery, peppers, cucumbers, broccoli, lettuce, spinach, mushrooms, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, asparagus and tomatoes, along with many different vegetables are referred to as negative calorie foods. These negative calories are sometimes referred to as kilocalories. Simply put, negative calorie foods like water-rich vegetables require more calories to chew and digest, than they themselves offer. This results in a net loss of calories from fat. Let’s say you eat a 5 calorie grape tomato or other vegetable every hour.

These contain a type of
sugar called polysaccharides. These are often referred to as “complex” sugars or carbohydrates. Also, while fruit is good for you, and you should eat it, I don’t recommend eating it every hour when trying to lose body fat. The reason for this is that fruit contains a type of sugar called fructose. Fructose is known as a disaccharide (two sugars). The third type of sugar is called a monosaccaride, also known as simple sugar, which comes from candy or table sugar.

Joyce Minkler receives President’s Call To Service Award In recognition of more than 4,000 lifetime volunteer hours worked in support of Steps to HOPE at Second Chance Thrift Store, Joyce Minkler was awarded the President’s Call To Service Award. This award presentation, made by Steps to HOPE Executive Director Rachel Ramsey, coincided with National Volunteer Awareness Month, which is acknowledged in April. Minkler began volunteering at Second Chance in 1997 when the store was located at 331 E. Mills Street. She later recruited her husband, Dale, who joined her as a volunteer when Second Chance moved to its current location at 232 E. Mills Street in 2002. Minkler is responsible for sorting, pricing, displaying and maintaining the fabric and craft section of the store. – article submitted

• Diet & Exercise (continued from page 33)
Remember from one of my earlier articles, we learned that if sugar is in your bloodstream, you can’t dip into your fat stores. Something of great importance that I will repeatedly tell you through my columns is to always chew your food well (even more than you think you should). This helps with digestion and makes things easier on your GI (gastrointestinal) track. With fruits and vegeta-
bles it’s particularly important to chew well. Plant cells have something called “cell walls,” which are made up of cellulose. Cellulose is microscopically like little bits of wood. We can digest it some, but not very well. If we don’t break open these cell walls, we can’t get the nutrients inside them. By chewing well, we break open more of these fruit and vegetable cells, and get the goodness inside. David Crocker of Landrum has been a nutritionist for 24 years. He served as strength director of the Spartanburg Y.M.C.A., head strength coach S.C. state champion girls gymnastic team, USC-Spartanburg baseball team, Converse college equestrian team, lead trainer to L.H. Fields modeling agency, taught four semesters at USC-Union. David was also a regular guest of the Pam Stone radio show.

Wolverine baseball deals 5-2 loss to Mountain Heritage by Daniel Hecht
The last time the Wolverines and Cougars mixed it up, just a few weeks ago in Burnsville, the outcome of the contest was never in question. Polk treated its conference foe to a worldclass thrashing, shutting out Mountain Heritage 12-0. Tuesday, April 12 in Columbus, the boys from Yancey County arrived with payback in mind, determined to mete out some punishment, mountain style. Dakota Turner, boasting a 3-1 record, got the start for the Wolverines. After giving up a single to the leadoff hitter, Turner settled into his rhythm, retiring the heart of the Heritage lineup. Turner wound up tossing six innings of shutout ball, giving up just two more hits while walking two. Cougar ace Zack Wiseman took the hill in the bottom of the first. After walking two of the first four batters to give Polk the early advantage, he settled into his groove as well, retiring the next 12 batters in a row to hold Polk to a slim 1-0 lead after four innings. Wiseman’s string ran out in the fifth as the Wolverine
bats caught fire. Alec Philpott walked and scored on a blistering double to right-center by Andre Overholt, and Rooster Ross followed suit with a line single up the middle, scoring the speedy Overholt from first. Ross scored next, as a Joel Booker single to left was misplayed. After cleanup hitter Tyler Philpott drove home Booker with a single to right, the Wolverines had jumped in front by five. Following a scoreless sixth, Turner took the mound in the final frame and quickly gave up a leadoff single. Polk coach Ty Stott, taking no chances, lifted his tiring starter, bringing in Roberto Taft to preserve the win. But after a sac fly to center brought a run across for the Cougars, and an error and a walk loaded the bases, Heritage had the momentum. With two outs, Heritage catcher David Johnston lashed a RBI single to center, scoring the runner from third and putting the go-ahead run at the plate. Heritage’s chances quickly vaporized as the Cougars made an illegal substitution for Johnston, lifting the catcher in favor of a courtesy runner who had previously run for the pitcher, a

violation of NFHS rule 8-4(k). After Stott brought the infraction to the attention of the umpires, the courtesy runner was called out at first, ending the game and dashing Heritage’s hopes for a storybook comeback win. “The courtesy runner is a very tricky rule,” said Stott, adding, “it’s got a lot of details to it, and a lot of people don’t
know it.” Stott was unapologetic about the unusual game ending play. “The rules are the rules, and with bases loaded against us, we’ll take whatever we can get,” he said. With the victory, Polk improves to 12-2 on the season, and 7-1 in conference competition.
Lady Wolverines soccer dominates Mountain Heritage 6-0 by Jordan DeVere
On Monday, April 11, the Polk County Wolverines varsity soccer team played host to Mountain Heritage. The game was over before it started as Polk jumped out to an early lead and cruised on to an easy 6-0 victory with subs playing the majority of the game. Brittany Phipps, who had two goals in this one, came out and
scored her first goal less than five minutes into the game. This goal was followed up by a goal by Peyton Habenicht who also had two goals on the night. Her first goal came on a header off a corner, which is becoming more and more routine for Habenicht. She said she’s “really glad to see the practice paying off” as this is her second game in a row with a goal off a header, that came off a
corner. Phipps added her second goal to give Polk a dominant lead at the half 3-0. Polk continued their dominance of the game as the Lady Wolverines went on to control the second half. Richelle Sciuva scored, with an assist by Phipps. The scoring was not limited to upperclassmen, as freshman Ellese Cash added a goal of her own to put the Wolverines up 5-0.
That was when Peyton Habenicht got her final chance to tack on another goal as a Mountain Heritage defender mistakenly picked up the ball in the box, giving her a free kick. She didn’t miss her chance, putting the ball well out of reach of the keeper to hammer home the last nail in Mountain Heritage’s coffin, 6-0. Polk’s next home game is Tuesday, April 18.

Mountain Heritage mauls Polk County softball 11-2 by Daniel Hecht
Just a shade over three weeks ago, Coach Jeff Wilson’s Lady Wolverines traveled to Yancey County and took a very talented Mountain Heritage softball team out to the woodshed for a 5-0 whipping. Since that game, the Lady Cougars have lost just twice, but on Tuesday, April 12, the ladies from Burnsville rolled into Polk County with revenge clearly on their minds. For most of Tuesday’s game, it appeared Mountain Heritage was in for a repeat of the March 18 beating, as Polk’s Jamie Hrobak mowed down one batter after another. Hrobak allowed just one hit in the first five frames, and the lone Lady Cougar that did reach base was quickly doubled off as the junior hurler faced just 15 batters, the minimum, through five innings. While Hrobak worked her magic in the circle for Polk, the Lady Wolverines offense managed to touch up Heritage pitcher Samm Chandler for two runs. In the first, Alyssa Montgomery,
aboard on a walk, advanced on a Hrobak single to right and then scored on an infield hit by Cassie Couch. In the fourth inning, Polk posted its second run, as Kara Garvin worked Chandler for a walk and then scored on a blistering Shea Wheeler double. As the Lady Wolverines entered the top of the sixth with a 2-0 lead, just six outs away from another shutout, the Heritage bats suddenly caught fire. Following a leadoff single and two successful bunts, the Lady Cougars had loaded the bases, and with two outs, Heritage’s Haley Johnson stepped to the plate and crushed a Hrobak offering down the right field line for a bases clearing triple, putting the Lady Cougars ahead by a score of 3-2. Although the Lady Wolverines were unable to score in their half of the sixth, the seventh inning was yet to be played, and the game plan for Polk was simple – hold Heritage scoreless in the top of the inning and score a couple in the bottom half. The Lady Cougars, however,
had other plans, as junior Summer Ray led off the seventh with a solo home run that ignited a six hit, eight run barrage and gave Heritage a ninerun lead going into the bottom of the seventh. A shell-shocked Polk squad was unable to respond in their half of the inning as the game ended with the Lady Cougars on top 11-2. “They came out and really took it to us at the end,” said Wilson. “It’s a weird thing to be in control for most of the game and not win.” Asked what he said to the team post-game, Wilson replied, “I told Ray scored twice in the seventh as my girls that Heritage Summer the Lady Cougars mauled Polk 11-2 Tuesday, won the game, that we April 12. (photo by Daniel Hecht) didn’t lose it. I told them not to hang their heads, and that overall and 6-3 in the conference, we’ll come back out next game while the Lady Cougars improve and battle again.” to 13-3 overall, also with three With the loss, Polk falls to 12-4 conference losses.

Lady Wolverines softball edges Spartanburg Christian 4-2 by Daniel Hecht
With their primary focus on the battle for supremacy in the Western Highlands conference, it is understandable that the Lady Wolverines might have taken their Monday, April 11 road trip just a bit lightly. However, any notions Polk County might have had about coasting through their journey south of the border were quickly dispelled, as the ladies of Spartanburg Christian Academy made it clear from the outset that this would be no walk in the park for Polk. “It was a difficult, hard-fought ball game,” said Polk head coach Jeff Wilson. “They played us lights out.” The Lady Wolverines got the scoring started in the top of the first. With two outs, Alyssa Montgomery singled and then scored as Jamie Hrobak crushed a double to left center for an RBI. Shea Wheeler added to Polk’s lead in the second, doubling her way aboard, taking third on a ground out, and scoring on a wild pitch to put Polk up 2-0. Brittany Jones added another run to Polk’s tally in the fifth, as she reached first on an error, then quickly stole second, advanced to third on a ground out, and scored on another wild pitch, making it
3-0 Polk. “I was really proud of our base running and our aggressiveness,” said Wilson, adding, “I felt that was the difference in the game today.” After SCA managed to make a little noise in their half of the fifth, narrowing the gap to 3-1, the Lady Warriors mounted a serious challenge in the bottom of the sixth. After giving up a base hit and a run-scoring double to start the inning, Polk pitcher Hrobak found herself in a jam, with the tying run at third base and just one out. As she has all season long, the junior fireballer came up large, mowing down SCA’s number five and six hitters on strikeouts to end the inning with Polk leading 3-2. Polk added an insurance run in the seventh, as Yancy Pace blasted a towering two out double that scored Shea Wheeler to give the Lady Wolverines the victory by a final score of 4-2. Hrobak earned her 12th win of the season, striking out 10 Lady Warriors batters while walking just one. With the non-conference win, the Lady Wolverines improve to 12-3 on the season and maintain a 6-2 record in the Western Highlands conference.

Technology help for tech-shy seniors Dear Savvy Senior What resources can you recommend to help seniors learn how to use technology devices? I am particularly interested learning how to text, email and Facebook so I can keep up with my grandkids. Tech-Shy Senior Dear Tech-Shy, Keeping in touch with the younger generation these days is a lot easier if you know how to use basic cell phone and computer technologies. Here are several tips and resources that can help you get started. Hands-on help While seniors make up the fastest growing group of Internet and email users in the U.S., they still lag way behind the younger generations. One of the best places seniors can turn to for help using their cell phone or computer is their own grandkids who have grown up with these technologies and are practically experts at operating them. If that’s not an option, ask your friends or other family members who are tech-savvy to help you. Depending on where you live, you may also be able to get help through your public library, local senior center, schools or community college – many of which also offer basic computer and personal technology classes to seniors. To find out what’s available in your community, call your Area Agency on Aging (call 800-677-1116 to get your local number) or your public library.

SMALL CHiLdrEn Q. How can we make sure that we provide adequately for our small children? a. Both the personal parenting needs and the financial needs of your children need to be addressed. If you do not plan for the needs of your children, a court will. Your assets and the fate of your children will be up for grabs. the funds for each child will be maintained in a separate account and each child will be treated equally even if they don't have equal needs. all parents should consider carefully how and who will raise their children in the event that they are not able to do so. We have a checklist of things parents need to consider when planning for their children. Please call if you would like a copy.
