Court advocate volunteers a step to hope by Samantha Hurst
It’s not a glamorous volunteer opportunity; much of your time is spent sitting, waiting often for hours, outside a courtroom holding someone’s hand. For Jeannette and Ninalee (last names omitted for safety), however, nothing could be more satisfying than working as court advocates for Steps to HOPE. “I find it very rewarding be-
cause we’re dealing first-hand with the recipients of our work. It’s very gratifying to work with these people. You can just see how much they appreciate what we do,” Jeannette said. Steps to HOPE initiated its court advocates program in the 1990s. Case manager Sherry Wright said the organization couldn’t do without them.
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
“When a person has been abused, they are frightened, they know nothing about the judicial process, they know nothing about how they can be protected,” Wright said. “For us, it’s critical these advocates are there for our clients; it’s absolutely critical so they will not fear going to court.” (Continued on page 4)

Whitney Avenue home suffers fire, water damage Cause of fire still under investigation by Leah Justice
Multiple agencies responded to a fire at 170 Whitney Avenue in Tryon Friday, April 15 that caused both fire and water damage to the home. Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis said all residents were able to leave the structure without any problems and firefighters were also able to help the family dog to safety. The fire occurred shortly before 1:45 p.m. Friday at the home of
George McConnell. Captain Tim Wright with the Tryon Police Department arrived on scene shortly after agencies received the call to respond to the house. Wright found a fire at the rear of the multistory home, according to Davis. Wright reported that flames were moving up the outside of the structure and penetrating the attic. The Tryon Fire Department was assisted by fire departments from Landrum, Columbus and Saluda. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Griffin joins District 29-B as new assistant district attorney District’s D.A. staff still shorthanded, D.A. Hunt says
The offices of the District Attorney in Prosecutorial District 29-B, which includes Polk, Henderson and Transylvania counties, recently announced James Edwin Griffin III (“Tripp Griffin”) has joined the offices as the newest assistant district attorney. Griffin is from Charlotte and graduated from Campbell University School of Law in 2010, with his undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Griffin previously worked in Charlotte as a temporary special project attorney with the firm of Moore and Van Allen PLLC. He will assist the offices initially in district court prosecutions in all three counties of District 29-B.

we expect the number of new criminal cases to rapidly catch up and renew the upward trend we have expected historically. “At the same time, unfortunately, over the last two years the historical homicide rate of the three counties which now comprise Prosecutorial District 29-B have doubled (from an average annual rate of 5-6 homicides to 9 homicides in 2009; and 12 homicides in 2010). This extreme shortfall of prosecutorial resources, therefore, hits our prosecutorial district at a time when for many reasons (relating to the continual progression of criminal law changes), it now takes prosecutors substantially more hours of work per each criminal case than just a few years ago; all the while our homicide rate has apparently reset at double our historical rate.” – article submitted

John Austen Flint Wood
John Austen Flint Wood, 88, a 20-year resident of Tryon, died on Wednesday, April 6, 2011 at the White Oak facility in Tryon. Born in Rotherham, England on Sept. 17, 1922, he was the son of the late John Flint Wood and Vera Potter Wood.
Letter to the Editor
You will shoot your eye out To the Editor: We just adopted the most beautiful cat from Foothills Humane Society. This cat is a big old teddy bear that craves affection and gives it back to you doubled. His story, which you may have read in an earlier article by Lennie Rizzo,
During the Second World War, Mr. Wood was commissioned in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm and served as one of the youngest carrier-based fighter pilots and production test pilots. He was a graduate of the United States Navy air training program in Pensacola, Fla. During his career in marketing, Mr. Wood had business experiences which included
many years in Japan with Products of Asia, eight years with Wolverine World Wide and most recently as a consultant for Citizens Democracy Corporation, which included assignments to both Russia and Romania. Survivors include two daughters, Rowena A. Wood of New York City and Nicola Edwards of England; three grandchildren, Lindsey Edwards, Romaine Flint Wood and Lauren Edwards, and two great-grandchildren, Laila
and Rufus. A memorial service will be held in New York City in June. Memorials may be made to Steps of HOPE, P.O.

was a sad one, he had been shot with a BB gun and the BB was lodged in his lung. Thankfully he was saved by Dr. Magsino at Cloverfield Vet. Corona, who we have renamed Buster, aka BooBoo Kitty is doing well now and doesn’t seem to hold any ill feelings towards us humans for what was done to him. I felt the need to write this on behalf of BooBoo and other cats because this was unnecessary. I am heartbroken when a cat kills one of the beautiful birds at
the feeder, it happens rarely because most cats can’t really catch a bird but just their presence keeps the birds away and that’s not fair to the birds. Cats are really good at eliminating moles in the yard and mice around the house and keeping snakes away by worrying them until they give up and go someplace else. The better solution if you just don’t want the cat in your yard is to pick up the garden hose and spray away, the cat will run in terror and
probably it will only take a couple of drenchings before he realizes that if he goes to this place he will get wet so he will stay away. Also, they sell these mega water guns at the dollar store that are even more fun and you can water your garden while you are ridding your yard of the pesky cats. Please put the BB gun back up in the attic, remember what your Mom said, “You will shoot your eye out with that thing.” Thank you from BooBoo. ––Susan Simpson

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.

Wolverines softball shuts out visiting Cherokee 10-0 by Daniel Hecht
Following last Tuesday’s 11-2 humbling at the hands of conference rival Mountain Heritage, Polk head coach Jeff Wilson told his young squad not to hang their heads. “The mark of a good team, and we are a very good team, is that we refuse to let a defeat like that define us,” said Wilson. “I told the girls that we’d come back out next game and battle again.” Prior to Thursday’s nonconference showdown, Wilson huddled the ladies again. “I asked the team for two things today – a good attitude and to put their hearts into the game,” Wilson said. The Lady Wolverines responded enthusiastically to both requests as they took it to visiting Cherokee High School, shutting out a talented Lady Braves squad by a score of 10-0. The game was called by mercy rule after five innings. Jamie Hrobak reasserted her ownership of the pitcher’s circle, giving up just one hit in five innings of work while facing the minimum 15 batters. Hrobak struck out five on her way to earning her 13th win of the year and the 42nd of her career. Perhaps even more impressive was the defensive play of Hro-

bak’s teammates, backstopping the junior pitcher with an errorless performance that was without question their most polished effort of the season. Defensive gems included a nifty 4-3 double play by freshman Brittany Jones, ranging from her position at second to backhand a sharply hit ball up the middle, step on second and fire to Cassie Couch to gun down the runner at first. Each of Polk’s outfielders – Amber Lynch, Shalyn Brown and
Shea Wheeler – turned in solid plays that denied Cherokee batters of extra base hits on several occasions. “I told the girls we’ve just barely seen the tip of the iceberg,” said Wilson. “We’re getting to see a lot more of what we can do. Our defense is definitely improving.” Offensively, the Lady Wolverines were led by Kara Garvin, who went 3 for 3 on the afternoon with 3 RBIs, including a two-run homer in the bottom of the fifth. Brown went 1 for 2 with a walk,
while Lynch reached in all three trips, leading off the fourth with a single and walking twice. Yancy Pace, Cavin Richards, Hrobak, Couch and Wheeler all contributed base hits to the effort. Casey McDowell scored the winning run as Erica Painter worked Cherokee’s Bree Smith for an RBI walk. With the victory, Polk improves to 13-4 on the season. The Lady Braves will have an opportunity to avenge the loss on April 25 as play resumes following spring break and the Lady
Polk golf shows dominance on the road against Owen by Jordan DeVere
Polk County High’s golf team went on the road on April 7 to a seasoned opponent’s golf course in Owen County. The Wolverines made solid decisions on the course en route to a two-stroke victory over Owen, one of the top teams in the conference.
The scores for the Wolverines are as follows: • Brandon Britton – 77 • Davis Horne – 79 • Dylan Jones – 80 • Will Ballard – 81 • Will Trakas – 84 • Carson Horne – 88 The Wolverines’ score of 316 edged out Owen’s 318.
Senior Polk golfer Davis Horne said, “I feel like we really made a statement today. Beating Owen on their home course was very satisfying. Brandon Britton has been playing really solid for us and he came through again with a 77. We have talented young players as well as experience in matches. Teams know
we can make a very strong run at winning conference. After all, our team motto this year is, winning ain’t everything, it’s the only thing.” The team, which plays at Tryon Country Club, will continue to play toward the upcoming conference and state championship tournaments.
