Steeplechase: Heyday for horses, hats by Samantha Hurst
Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:
Hazy clouds and chilling breezes gave way to clear blue skies just in time for the 65th running of the Block House Steeplechase Saturday, April 23. As kids ran around grassy areas, families and friends prepared for the day of festivities. Tailgating groups set up everything from simple tables of paper plates and fried chicken
to elaborate spreads of silver serving platters and gourmet entrees. Tailgate judges Joyce Cox, Libby Johnson and Russ and Billie Jordan selected their favorites from among the crowds including: • Best Country Tailgate - A Day at the Races by (Continued on page 4)

Polk employees may pay more for insurance New plan includes increases in copay/deductible by Leah Justice
Polk County employees on the county’s health insurance plan could see more money coming out of their pockets next year. The Polk County Board of Commissioners spoke on Mon-
day, April 18 with Tracy McCarty of Mark III, the county’s insurance broker, about options for next year. The county’s new fiscal year begins July 1. Polk County, which is selfinsured, increased its allotment for employee insurance this year 20 percent, or approximately $160,000. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said when he presented the 20-percent increase
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
to the previous board of commissioners he promised he wouldn’t come back with a recommendation for another increase this year. Whitson also said the county will still be paying for the employee premiums with the proposed new plan. “I don’t need an increase on health insurance for next year,” Whitson said.

Former Tryon Federal property faces foreclosure
Notices (right) are posted on the doors of the former Tryon Federal Bank property in downtown Tryon (left ) announcing foreclosure hearings set for May 10. The three buildings that make up the property, which are owned by McCray Smith, have been empty for years. Smith, who operates the development company Cray Inc., originally purchased the Tryon Federal buildings with the idea of redeveloping the property as a multi-use facility. Ideas considered included retail shops, offices, a restaurant and a jazz club in the basement and apartments or condos on the second floor. The property was included in an auction of McCray Smith holdings held in July 2008. The auction company initially sought bids of more than $700,000, but stopped seeking them after none were received even as low as $400,000. According to county tax records, Smith bought the property from Tryon Federal Bank for $350,000 in 2005. More recently, a planned purchase and multi-use development of the property by Tryon House fell through in November 2010. (photo on right by Barbara Tilly)

Northern Bay rules Carolina First Block House by Laura Weicker
Northern Bay, campaigned by the estate of Maryland ownerbreeder Cary W. Jackson, took command on the final circuit of Sandlin Racecourse and drew clear to a ten-length victory in the $25,000 Carolina Cup Block House, featured race of the 65th annual Block House Races in Tryon, N.C., on Saturday, April 23. Karen Eyles’ Canardly came on to finish second in a field of five. Randleston Farm’s Spy in the Sky took third, and Julia Thieriot’s Fantastic Foe finished fourth. Bill Pape’s Lead Us Not set the early pace under jockey Brian Crowley, with Northern Bay and jockey Roddy Mackenzie shadowing the pace in company with Fantastic Foe. Crowley misjudged the finish line by one circuit while comfortably in front and steered Lead Us Not off the course, apparently believing the race was over. Fantastic Foe inherited the lead, but Northern Bay took command when asked by Mackenzie and drew away to the finish line. Northern Bay ran the Carolina
First Block House’s 2 1/2 miles in 5:01.60 on a course rated as good. Trained by Todd Wyatt, Northern Bay won his only start of 2010, a Philadelphia Park optional allowance at 26.70-1 odds. The husband-wife team of Richard and Lilith Boucher accounted for two victories on the Block House program. Lilith Boucher trains Marilyn S. Ketts’ Flying Friskie, who won the $10,000 Cannon Harmon Memorial, a maiden claiming hurdle, by two lengths with Richard Boucher in the saddle. The trainer-jockey duo also accounted for a narrow victory by Mede Cahaba Stable’s Class Tie in the $10,000 Greek Creek Equestrian Park, a conditioned claiming hurdle. Clorevia Farm’s Better Be Ready finished second by a head. In the afternoon’s kick-off race, Crowley collected a victory in the $15,000 Performance Center/Hendrickscars.com aboard the Elkstone Group’s Last Man Standing for Racing Hall of Fame trainer Jonathan Sheppard. Inti finished second in the maiden hurdle. – article submitted

The proposal is to change the plan, which will mean deductibles, copays and out of pocket maximums will increase for employees. County employees currently pay $25 for regular physician visits and $35 for specialists. The proposal is for physician copays to rise to $30 and specialists to rise to $60. Deductibles are proposed to go from the current $500 to $1,500 with out-of-pocket limits proposed to increase from $2,500 to $3,000. Under Polk County’s selfinsurance plan, the county pays for up to $35,000 in claims per employee, and a “stop-loss” insurance carrier pays any costs remaining after that amount. According to Mark III’s projections, Polk County’s expected total costs for insurance claims this fiscal year are estimated at $1,000,546. The expected total costs for next fiscal year are estimated at $1,191,803. McCarty said so far this fiscal year the county’s claims are running 16 percent below the county’s claims last year. But if Polk stays with its current plan, the county will be guaranteed a 19-percent increase, McCarty told commissioners. Commissioner Renée McDermott asked if the county has considered bidding insurance out and not continuing with self-insurance. Whitson answered that he prefers the self-insurance plan

the county currently uses. He said once the county bids out the service, the county will receive a really good price the first year, but those rates will increase the next year and subsequent years. McCarty said Polk County’s current deductibles are extremely low. She said the average deductible is in the $1,500 to $2,000 range. Commissioner Tom Pack asked McCarty if traditionally some months have more claims than others. McCarty said normally claims rise towards the end of the fiscal year because people will get medical procedures done then because their deductibles are either paid or nearly paid.. So far this fiscal year, the number of county employees who receive health insurance ranged between 135 and 157 depending on the month. Employees are not required to have the county’s plan. Polk County pays for all of its employee’s health insurance premiums, with employees paying for any dependents. The county’s dental and vision insurance is contracted out, with employees paying for those premiums. If the current proposal is approved, it will be the first time health insurance rates for employees have increased since 2003. Commissioners are scheduled to further discuss the proposal with Mark III during the county’s next meeting on Monday, May 2, which will be held at 7 p.m. at the Stearns Building in Columbus.

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.

Squirrels are perhaps the most commonly seen wild animal. You can find them at the park, in the backyard, or even at the school playground. They are found in almost all places on Earth, except for Australia, Antarctica, and the Island of Madagascar (home to the lemurs). Squirrels are rodents that are closely related to chipmunks, marmots, prairie dogs, groundhogs, and woodchucks. They Decide what type of squirrel is are characterized by their large eyes, bushy tails, and prominent shown below. Then color it with the front teeth. The common squirrel seen in the United States is the appropriate colors Eastern gray squirrel, which live in trees. Other types of squirrels for that species. live in underground burrows. The smallest of all squirrels is the African pygmy which is only four inches in length. The largest squirrels are found in Asia; these giant squirrels can measure up to 36 inches and weigh almost seven pounds. One of the most interesting types of squirrel is the nocturnal flying squirrel. This animal has large flaps of skin that allow it to leap extremely large distances, much more than that of a common squirrel. Squirrels eat plants, such as grass, nuts and seeds. Some consume insects, and a few species will occasionally eat small amounts of meat.

Historical Treasure of the Month: Cannonball that started Civil War Fort Sumter, South Carolina, April 12, 1861, about 4:30 a.m. The darkness of the predawn hour was shattered by cannon fire that hurled a cannonball toward the fort. “Almost immediately afterward a ball from Cummings Point lodged in the magazine wall, and by the sound seemed to bury itself in the masonry about a foot from my head, in very unpleasant proximity to my right ear.” That ear belonged to Capt. Abner Doubleday, a Tryon resi-
dent, who personally witnessed the first shot of the Civil War. Capt. Doubleday retrieved the cannonball and then fired the first shot in defense of Fort Sumter. The cannonball was handed down in the Doubleday family for 123 years. In 1986 Betty Doubleday Frost, grand-niece of Abner Doubleday, donated this family treasure to the Polk County Historical Association Museum in Columbus so future generations could see it and perhaps reflect upon the four years of horrific conflict that
followed. The Civil War ensured the future of the United States as “one Nation under God,” but that future was sealed with the blood of over 620,000 soldiers. Learn more about Capt. Doubleday and on this 150th anniversary year see the historic cannonball at the Polk County Historical Association Museum in Columbus. The museum is open Tuesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. and on Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. – article submitted
The cannonball that supposedly started the Civil War has been passed down in the Doubleday family of Tryon.

sugar and large waists, all part of a diagnosis referred to as metabolic syndrome. And metabolic syndrome is known to and has been proven to increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. While strokes continue to occur most frequently among older people, the increase among those as young as 15 is a major wake-up call regarding our diet and eating habits. As you can imagine, there are several other factors to consider regarding increased likelihood of a stroke, such as gender, level of physical activity, daily calorie intake, smoking and alcohol consumption. But the bottom line remains that people in the studies who drank diet soda daily - compared to those who drank no soda - were 61 percent more likely to have a vascular event. Not surprisingly, while the research shows a high correlation between soda and stroke, there is not yet a consensus as to why. More research has to be done, but if the original study is replicated in subsequent research, it will not bode well for the daily consumption of diet soft drinks. Does this mean you can never have another soda? Of course not, but common sense does suggest, just as with sugary desserts or even red wine that is high in antioxidants, all things in moderation. Try to cut down on salt, read food labels to see what’s in the foods you’re eating and hold yourself to no more than one soft drink a week. That’s a tough prescription to follow, but the truth be told, it’s a lot easier to do than recover from a stroke – at any age. Ron Kauffman is a Geriatric Care Manager and Certified Senior Advisor.
