Landrum to allow horses to be kept in city by Samantha Hurst
An ordinance approved Oct. 11 by Landrum City Council now allows horses to be kept on property within the city limits. City administrator Steve Wolochowicz said the change could be a positive one if it
serves as a redevelopment for vacant areas of town. “In the past I have been approached by potential property owners who were looking in the city and around the city, but we didn’t have an ordinance in place to allow for horses,”
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
Wolochowicz said. “With the approval of this ordinance, we could see more horse owners come to town and potentially see some of the smaller lots bought up.” (Continued on page 4)

• Early college (continued from page 1)
director Mary Greene attended a ceremony in Raleigh on Tuesday, Oct. 11 to receive certificates in honor of the achievement. Greene said she believes students complete the early college program for several reasons, including small class sizes and teachers being available to the students for both schoolwork and life assistance. The early college is located on Walker Street in Columbus, in the former Polk County Library building. Greene said most of the students in the early college are the first to attend college in their families. Last year, the early college had 53 students (grades 9 through 12) and 14 graduated. Students have the opportunity to attend all four years of early college and receive a high school diploma and several college credits or to attend a fifth year and receive a high school diploma and an associate’s degree from Isothermal Community College.

Another benefit is students can receive a degree, or at least the first semester of credits, by attending the early college; they also get books for free. Miller said the early college is creating an atmosphere that is working well for students’ academic achievement, as well as personal growth. “The students and faculty all feel like a big family,” Miller said. “They support each other.” Miller said he believes the early college achieved the 100-percent graduation rate last year because

the expectation from the beginning is to go to college, “so dropping out of high school isn’t an option.” Last year’s early college was the second graduating class to be produced from the program. Greene said one student so far has stayed on for the fifth year to achieve an associate’s degree, but many early college students go on to college because they know what it’s like. Polk County’s program includes tutoring for students, taking them to visit colleges and help filling out applications and other college pa-
perwork such as financial aid forms. Polk County High School’s overall graduation percentage of 86 percent last year was well above the state average of 74.2 percent. Dare County had the highest rate at 90.5, followed by Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools at 89 percent, Newton-Conover City Schools at 88.6 percent, Clay County Schools at 86.5 percent, Elkin City Schools at 86.5 percent and Alleghany County Schools at 86.2 percent. Mooresville Graded School District, like Polk, had an 86 percent graduation rate.

Claydies show continues at Tryon Painters and Sculptors clay as a potter before turning to sculpture. Her pieces range from the abstract to the realistic, from floor pieces to tabletop to the wall. For most of her life, Jeanette Comer has been active in the performing arts, especially music. She has worked in pen and ink illustrating her published books. However, she is relatively new to sculpting and continues to refine her skills. Betty Johnston is a portrait painter and a sculptor working in acrylics and clay. She has a studio at her home where she can go daily to create her own ideas
or work on one of her many commissions. Beverly Pickard owned and managed an art gallery in downtown Saluda for a number of years, where she sold her own work and that of others. Her clay pieces are primarily figurative. Jan Romine is known to the community as one of the “Sisters Going to Seed,” a garden plus shop in Tryon that closed a few years ago. Romine and her sister still create flower arrangements for special events in the area. Her clay pieces focus on the figurative.
Lalage Warrington has been creating visual art since her camping days and has gone on to become a sculptor in many mediums. She currently teaches at the Chapman Cultural Center in Spartanburg, S.C. She has done many portrait commissions; her latest is a bronze on display in Spartanburg of the founder of the Spartanburg City Foundation. The Claydies invite the public to visit their studio on Thursday mornings to see the artists at work. Coffee and snack will be offered.

policies, Internet discussions, political interactions and even church meetings. Even Congress considered adopting a policy on civility a few months ago, very briefly as it turns out, and unsuccessfully. What does civility have to do with faith? If you look carefully at the teachings of Jesus and the writings of the New Testament you may be surprised how many of them have to do with relationships. And there’s a lot of wisdom there. The Golden Rule, for example, says: “Do to others as you would have them do

In our world of increasingly bitter and contested relationships, civility is emerging as a way to enhance constructive communication. Civility is not a new thing. The word has been used for centuries. Civility comes from a Latin word meaning courtesy and has to do with the exercise of politeness, courtesy, respect and minimal social graces in relationships. Some define it as the “state of being civilized.” Today civility is often mentioned in relationship to family interactions, work relationships, school

to you.” (Matthew 7:12). And most of us know that how we treat others does affect us. But for Christians civility is not just a practical matter. Civility in relationships is something Jesus has commanded us to do. “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.” (John 13:34). And what does this love look like? The Apostle Paul spells it out: “Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor.” (Romans 12:10). We are to live “with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another
in love.” (Ephesians 4:2). The quality of our relationships also affects our own experience of God. The writer of the First Letter of John puts it clearly: “Let us love one another, because love is from God; everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.” (1 John 4:7). Loving other people and learning to practice civility is a spiritual matter. The writer goes on to make it even more specific: “If we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us.” (1 John 4:12). Not loving others, on the other hand, separates us from God: “Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love.” (1 John 4:7).

Polk beats Thomas Jefferson, extends winning streak Polk’s Savannah Deaver spikes the ball during a varsity volleyball game at home against Thomas Jefferson Tuesday, Oct. 12. The Lady Wolverines continued their winning streak, winning the first three games 25-13, 2514 and 25-12. The JV volleyball team also won against Thomas Jefferson in two games, with a score of 25-9 in both games. (photo by Leah Justice)
Cardinals battle at the net with St. Joseph’s, No. 1 in 1A by Joey Millwood
The Landrum volleyball team hosted the No. 1 team in the state at the 1A level, St. Joseph’s, on Tuesday night, Oct. 11. The Cardinals fought hard but lost 3-0 (25-18, 25-12, 25-20). The Lady Knights of St. Joseph’s hadn’t lost a set this year in region play and the win kept their undefeated record within region intact. The Lady Cardinals (8-7, 6-4), however, weren’t intimidated. In the first game, the Cardinals battled back and forth with St. Joseph’s. Landrum fell behind early, but tied it up at 10 apiece on Holly Rickett’s serve. A Johnson kill led the Lady Knights to three straight points to get the lead back. Johnson then served up three more points on the next possession to take a 20-13 lead for St. Joseph’s. The Lady Cardinals roared back four out of the next five points, but St. Joseph’s finally pulled away for a 25-18 win.
In the second game, an early run by the Lady Knights put Landrum in a deeper hole than they could dig out of. On Nicholle Stein’s serve, St. Joseph’s jumped out to a 9-2 lead and didn’t look back en route to a 25-12 win. In the third game, however, Landrum pushed the Lady Knights to the limit. The Lady Cardinals stood toe-to-toe, took punches and gave punches. Landrum pulled the score to 18-20, but couldn’t hold serve and St. Joseph’s used that to pull away for an eventual 25-20 victory. “I’m proud of the girls tonight,” Landrum coach Denise Riske said. “They played hard. They played together. To see them play from first set to the last set was good to see.” Landrum was led by Becca Burress with 14 digs. Gabby Griggs added 11 digs and two kills. Carla Bruce had two kills and ten digs. Rebecca Hardin had two kills and two aces.

Steps to HOPE volunteer gives broken jewelry second chance Gloria Andersen of Asheville breathes new life into “bling” picked up at garage sales and broken jewelry donated to Second Chance Thrift Store by creating one-of-a-kind handmade earrings and bracelets, which she then donates back to the store. Andersen purchases fittings and miscellaneous beads to use as spacers. The end result is wearable art. “Making jewelry is my therapy, and I’m doing a good deed for victims of domestic violence at the same time,” said Andersen, who has volunteered her time and donated her craft to Steps to HOPE’s Second Chance Thrift Store for more than a year. After retiring from operating
several Hallmark shops in South and North Carolina with her husband, Andersen was inspired to become involved as a volunteer by her sister, Carolyn Cobb, who has volunteered at Second Chance Thrift Store for more than seven years with her husband, Don. Don Cobb refers to this dynamic duo as “The Volunteer Sisters.” Steps to HOPE Executive Director Rachel Ramsey said, “We love our volunteers and are in awe of their many talents. Without their help, we would struggle to provide the support needed by victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.” – article submitted by Debra Backus

Featured activities, in addition to a dog walk along the trails of FENCE, included a short course in obedience training, doggie painting and an agility course. Dogs were invited to show off their ability to work around stakes, crawl through large tubes and leap over jumps. The event was sponsored by Costco and included the following supporters of FHS: The Book Shelf, Pub ‘n Tub, Dogwood Farm Kennels and two local “doggie art” artists. – article submitted by Joyce Cox

Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) is set to bring a variety of experiences to students, young and old, as part of the Arts in Education programming to support and benefit students and artists. The 2011-2012 season focuses on theater, music and dance, including master classes with the center’s Main Stage artists, a Kindermusik program for parents and young children, a trip to hear a professional opera company and a touring theater production using student actors performing for students in area schools. TFAC’s strategic plan identifies several areas of focus. One of these is the development of educational programming. A committee of staff and volunteers representing area youth, education and the arts has identified and explored needs in the community where TFAC can best serve. Emily Bartlett is a TFAC committee member and current director of Polk County Schools’ after school academy. “The ability to create, design, invent, reflect and express are key skills for a young person’s success in life, and those skills are inherent in art,” Bartlett said. TFAC Executive Director Beth Child said, “As we develop our Arts in Education programs, we’re being careful to fill the niches where arts in the schools and community can be cultivated. There’s no need to duplicate the good work being done by many organizations,
