According to officials of tournament organizer South Carolina Charities, Inc., Greenville Country Club’s Chanticleer course will replace Bright’s Creek as the third golf course for the 2012 tournament. The other two courses, Thornblade Club and The Carolina Country Club, will remain as hosts. The 2012 tournament, presented by SYNNEX Corporation, will take place May 17-20, 2012. (Continued on page 4)
Officials from South Carolina Charities, Inc. presented checks to representatives from the charities that participated in the 2011 BMW Charity Pro-Am golf tournament, which raised $652,070 for 26 Upstate and Western North Carolina charities. The Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE) in Tryon was one of the charities that benefited this year. The checks were presented at Communities for Charity, the tournament’s annual check-presentation event, held at Michelin on Main in downtown Greenville, S.C. (photo submitted)

Columbus accepts grant for new police officer, vehicle Governor’s Highway Safety grant pays almost $80k first year by Leah Justice
The Columbus Police Department should soon be at full staff thanks to a N.C. Governor’s Highway Safety grant, which will pay a substantial amount of costs for a new officer, vehicle and equipment the first year. Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Aug. 18 and accepted the grant. The grant total for the first year is $79,695, with the town’s portion being $14,064. The grant pays for 85 percent of costs for the officer and equipment the first year, 70 percent the second year and 50 percent the third year. The town contributes the full salary the fourth and final years. All costs for the vehicle are paid for through the grant, as well
as costs for equipping the vehicle and officer. “Although the enforcement of motor vehicle laws in the Town of Columbus will be part of the officer’s duties, the Columbus Police Department will place an emphasis on public education through the traffic officer,” said Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield. “The officer will be available for educational events at local schools, churches, retirement communities and other civic organizations.” Beddingfield said through the grant, his department hopes to reduce both the frequency and the severity of traffic collisions, increase occupant safety restraint usage (including seatbelts, child safety seats and motorcycle/ moped helmets), decrease the number of impaired drivers and decrease speeding through town. The traffic officer will hold and maintain certifications in
Standarized Field Sobriety Tests, Alcohol Screening Test Devices, Radio Detecting and Ranging (RADAR), Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), Traffic Crash Reconstruction, Child Protection Seat and Drug Recognition Expert, as well as other certifications, according to Beddingfield. The officer will also be responsible for investigating collisions, be on call for serious injury and/or fatality collisions, conduct educational events, organize and coordinate multi-agency checkpoints, be involved with high school driver’s education and criminal justice courses and community outreach, Beddingfield said. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office was also recently awarded the same governor’s highway safety grant and will add a traffic enforcer sometime this fall. Columbus, the sheriff’s office and the Tryon Police Department are
all involved with the governor’s highway safety program, which gives the agencies points to purchase equipment each year and makes them eligible for this type of officer grant. Columbus, Tryon and the sheriff’s office conducted a joint checkpoint recently through the highway safety program, with Columbus seizing almost $160,000 in drug money through that checkpoint. A portion of that seizure money will come back to the departments involved. Regular checkpoints through the program include Booze It, Lose it; Click it or Ticket and No Need 2 Speed. Beddingfield said the traffic officer will be available to aid any local law enforcement agency that requests assistance and urges anyone to contact the Columbus Police Department at 828-8945464 to schedule a traffic safety or crime prevention presentation.

A police officer is a person who maintains order and peace within society. Often referred to as Peace Officers, policemen, or policewomen, have many different duties. These duties include, but are not limited to, preventing crimes, regulating traffic and drivers, keeping public order, protecting people and property, capturing criminals, and investigating crimes. Being a police officer is sometimes a dangerous profession, because they often have to put their personal safety on the line while keeping the general public safe from harm. Most officers in the United States are authorized to carry weapons and have specially enhanced police cars. Some officers patrol on horseback, by bicycle, or on foot. Many policemen are trained to handle police dogs, or K9 units; these animals are most often used to detect the presence of illegal drugs on suspects or their property. Other officers are trained to handle special situations, such as hostages, bomb threats, or keeping convicted criminals in prison. Public schools have a police officer assigned to them. This officer is known as the Student Resource Officer, or SRO. These SRO’s are always available to help students with any problems they may be having and to be there as role models. All regular police officers are trained in the laws of the land. Police Officers take an oath to uphold and maintain the law and to not violate or interpret it themselves.

Polk triumphs over Tuscola in season opener by Daniel Hecht
It is a certainty, a basic truth – an indisputable fact that every coach, and every player, accepts without question. There are simply no two ways about it – success on the football field is in direct proportion to the price a team is willing to pay up front in terms of preseason conditioning. And so, for the young men of Polk County High School, the grueling regimen known as the summer strength and conditioning program began the day
after graduation, 10 long weeks ago. After several scrimmages, a half-dozen passing leagues, hundreds of sprints up and down the stadium bleachers, and thousands of reps in the weight room – game day had finally, blessedly, arrived. Welcome to the start of the high school football season in North Carolina. Friday evening, at the Little Big House in Columbus, the Wolverines crushed 3A powerhouse Tuscola 38-22. “Anytime you line up and
win your first ballgame of the year against a pretty good Tuscola football team, you’ve got to feel pretty good about what you’ve done,” said Ollis. “We’re proud to be 3-0 against Tuscola – that’s a big accomplishment.” Polk’s victory over the Mountaineers, the team’s third in as many years, was far more lopsided than the final score would indicate. The Wolverines jumped in front early, as quarterback Alec Philpott connected with Joel Booker for a 32-yard
scoring pass at the 9:17 mark in the first quarter, and Cary Littlejohn added a 2-yard touchdown run early in the second to put Polk ahead 12-0. Meanwhile, the Tuscola offense, led by AllConference QB Rob Howard, was stymied time and again by the rock-solid Wolverines defense, and the teams headed into the intermission with Polk ahead by two scores. Coming back onto the field for the second half, the Wolver(Continued on page 11)

ines picked up right where they left off, with Philpott scoring from 4 yards out, stretching the lead to 20 as Philpott hooked up with Booker for the two-point conversion. Less than three minutes later, Philpott once again connected with Booker for a 40-yard touchdown strike as the Wolverines jumped ahead 26-0. Late in the third, the Tuscola offense briefly showed signs of life, as Howard connected with Weaver Kirkpatrick for an 8-yard scoring pass and the two-point conversion. However, less than a minute later, Philpott galloped 50 yards into the Tuscola end zone for his second rushing touchdown to make it 32-8. Philpott added his third rushing TD early in the fourth, scoring from two yards out as Polk stretched their lead to 38-8. With a 30-point lead and victory all but certain, Polk head coach Bruce Ollis emptied his bench, giving every Wolverine player an opportunity to play. “It was good for the young guys to get some experience
under the lights in a varsity football game,” said Ollis. Though Tuscola would score twice in the fourth against Polk’s second unit, it was too little too late, and the contest ended with Polk in front by 16 points. Following the game, Ollis had high praise for the performance of his rookie field general. “Alec did an incredible job, his first game ever playing quarterback,” said Ollis, adding, “300 yards of offense – I’d say that’s a pretty good debut.” Philpott finished the evening with 14 carries for 146 yards and three touchdowns, while going 8-15 through the air for another 148 yards and two touchdowns. For his part, the junior was quick to praise his teammates. “Our offensive line did really well,” said Philpott, pointing out the improvement since the Border Showcase. “I had a lot of time back there, and when we ran our powers, the holes would just open up – our offensive line had a really good game.” Other offensive standouts for the Wolverines included Booker (four receptions for 91 yards
and two TDs), Littlejohn (four catches for 44 yards, as well as 11 rushes for 115 yards and a touchdown) and Jay Sutton (four carries for 37 yards). Though the Wolverine defense was, as expected, excellent overall, a bright spot was the play of freshman Damion Cantrell, who started the first game of his high school career at linebacker. “We felt that Damion had come a long way in camp, his reads were good and he gets to the football, so we started him, which is very rare for a freshman.” Ollis had high praise for the work of defensive coordinator Jamie Thompson in prepping Cantrell for his debut. “Jamie did an incredible job of getting him ready,” Ollis said. “Damion is a very instinctive player – linebacker is a position where you’ve got to possess instincts to be a good player – and he possesses that.” Breaking down the team’s overall performance, Ollis was pleased but realistic. “It was a typical first game – we did a lot of things well, and we did some things poorly.
Cary Littlejohn breaks free Friday night versus Tuscola. Littlejohn carried 11 times for 115 yards and a touchdown. (photo by Daniel Hecht)
We absolutely have to find a way to kick extra points. That is a glaring weakness right now, one that’s going to cost us a ballgame down the road unless we improve.” Next week, the Wolverines travel to Brevard High School to take on the Blue Devils, who dropped their opener at Owen 27-7, a game in which longtime Warhorse coach Kenny Ford notched his 200th career victory.

later sent to the Naval Academy to study meteorology before being assigned as VMF 323’s squadron commander, a new squadron commissioned on Aug. 1, 1943. George, at 22 years and 8 months, was the youngest squadron commander in the Marine Corps. On March 21, 1942, George married his childhood sweetheart, Phyllis Crafton, at the Naval Academy Chapel. Phyllis followed him to Laguna Beach, Calif., until his squadron was sent to the South Pacific. While in the South Pacific George’s squadron had great suc-
cess. The squadron had 124.5 kills, the highest in the Okinawa campaign, and resulted in 12 fighter aces, including George. For his extraordinary heroism while engaged in military operations, George was awarded the Navy Cross by the president on April 28, 1945. In 1999, a book about George and his squadron’s legacy, called “Death Rattlers,” was written and published by Dr. William Wolf. George graduated from George Washington University with a law degree in 1952 and a master’s degree in financial management in 1958. He was admitted to the Supreme Court Bar in Washington, D.C. in 1956. He also graduated from the National War College at Ft. McNair in Washington, D.C. in 1964. George was preceded in death by his wife, Phyllis, who died in September of 1975. He is survived by a large and loving family. Shirley Barnes Axtell, his wife of 34 years, resides at Tryon Estates in Columbus. His brother Bill and his wife, Dorothy, reside in Beaver, Pa. George and Phyllis’s sons, Lt. Col. Grey Axtell (USMC-Ret.) and Guy Axtell, gave George
four grandchildren and nine greatgrandchildren. Grey’s children are Holly Axtell Deutsch and her husband, Alan, and their children, Alexia, Alan, Joshua and Arik, who reside in Factoryville, Pa., and Geoffrey Clifton Axtell and his two daughters, McKenna and Samantha, who reside in Norriston, Pa. Guy and his wife, Virginia, have two children, George Clifton Axtell and his wife, Natalie, and their children, Morgan and Garrick, who reside in Richmond, Va., and Guy Crafton Axtell and his wife, Kendall, and their children, Ella Kate and McKenna, who reside in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. George will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery. In lieu of flowers it is requested that contributions be made to Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, 130 Forest Glen Drive, Columbus, N.C. 28722 or the House of Flags Museum, 363 Green Creek Drive, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

ment in International Living she traveled to Peru and also spent a summer in pre-war Germany. After graduating from Milton Academy, she studied art for a year in Florence, Italy, and then attended Harvard Architectural School for three years. In 1943 she married Dr. Stephen M. Clement from Buffalo, N.Y., whom she met while he was attending Harvard Medical School. Barbara and Stephen lived in Buffalo for many years, raising their three children: Stephen, Tina and Margot. In addition to being a loving mother and socially active homemaker, Barbara became very involved as a social services volunteer, reaching out to underprivileged populations, most especially women’s programs. After practicing psychiatry for many years, Barbara’s husband decided to retire, and the couple moved to Tryon, enjoying the mountain views
and good climate. Barbara designed the house they lived in. She remained active in community activities and took on leadership roles in the Tryon Garden Club, Lanier Library, Great Books, Antique Club and the Congregational Church. She and Stephen were inducted into the “Second Wind Hall of Fame” for “exemplary community involvement and outstanding accomplishments since retirement.” Barbara continued to travel and also enjoy visits from her adult children, and relished being a grandmother to their four grandchildren: Gordon, Bessie, Ted and Winston. Her husband died suddenly in 1995. Barbara moved to Cathedral Village in Pennsylvania in November 2000 to be closer to her daughter, Margot Clark, who lives with her family in Wyndmoor, Pa. Knowing not a soul at Cathedral Village,
Barbara reached out to others and soon was organizing dinner gatherings and welcoming other new arrivals. She became very active at the prescription desk and also became the head of the annual New Year’s Eve party. She thrived in the community and took advantage of all the enriching programs, including the college courses, art classes, concerts, trips and exercise classes. She attended St. Mary’s Church religiously, even in inclement weather, and found great comfort and beauty in that sanctuary. Barbara will be remembered for her kindness, gentleness, inclusiveness and her love of color, beauty and celebration of life. A memorial service at St. Mary’s Church (630 East Cathedral Road, Philadelphia, Pa. 19128) is planned for Saturday, Sept. 10 at 3 p.m. with a reception to follow in the parish hall.

Aging well and avoiding injuries as we age Most of us know of an elderly person who continues to amaze us by living alone, remaining active and continuing to be in reasonably good health. For many people, living longer is taken for granted, but in most cases there is what Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, an orthopedic surgeon calls, “…a mismatch between longevity and durability, and durability is the issue we’ve ignored for the most part.” There are a combination of factors that contribute to longevity including durability and life quality. We can all take preventive steps to avoid injuries whether at home, at work or while pursuing activities that keep us fit and active. Follow these simple steps to stay safe and to add years of enjoyable living to your life. For a safer home, it is recommended that older adults: • Have handrails securely attached on both sides of steps and stairways. • Secure throw rugs and area rugs to the floor with doublesided tape. • Be sure that there is adequate lighting throughout the home, and that it is used when walking. • To make doors easier to open, replace doorknobs with lever handles for easy use.

Feng Shui is now being used to add good fortune to many of the largest banks in the world. According to Feng Shui experts, when a master such as Land enters a site, there is an immediate appraisal of the Chinese five elements the home displays from the curbside. The home should then have a clear curved path to a proud front door. When entering the
home, the kitchen should be behind the midline of the house and rooms should not be over a garage. Come and explore the ancient energy flow together by attending the class in Tryon on Thursday, Aug. 25.

building project, is complete. The open-air pavilion has long been on the wish list for the humane society. Enclosed with fencing for security, the pavilion will allow for more activities with animals in a covered, secure setting. According to FHS officials, the shelter property is some of the best utilized space in the area. The main building includes office and animal space. Additionally, there is a separate building for housing cats and indoor/outdoor kennels. The complex also features fenced outdoor play and training areas, but until now, did not have a good place for working with animals outdoors on hot or rainy days. Major funding for the pavilion
