Kruger Brothers return to Tryon Fine Arts Center Nov. 4 The Kruger Brothers return to Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) on Friday, Nov. 4. Supported by main stage sponsor TD Bank and event sponsors James Holleman, MD and Gus Dozier, MD of St. Luke’s Hospital, this group last appeared in Tryon in 2007 and has been requested by TFAC audiences. Nashville Public Radio says of brothers Jens and Uwe, “(they are one of the) most creative, spiritually minded, musically gifted, soul-enriching and life-affirming bands to ever come down the pike. (They) give new meaning to the phrase ‘the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.’” With their ability to play acoustic styles ranging from bluegrass to jazz to their classically inspired “Appalachian Concerto,” the Swiss-born Kruger Brothers, Jens Kruger (banjo, vocals) and Uwe Kruger (guitar, lead vocals), have found
their permanent home in North Carolina. Completing the trio is Joel Landsberg (bass, vocals), a native of New York City, who has played with the brothers since the early 1990s. Their music includes traditional American roots music as well as symphonic pieces composed in collaboration with symphony orchestras and string quartets. “Appalachian Concerto,” an original piece for bass, guitar and string quartet, features the banjo as a solo instrument and demonstrates Jens’ skill as composer,

Wolverines run roughshod over visiting TJCA 48-27 by Daniel Hecht
The Polk County Wolverines celebrated homecoming in style Friday night at the Little Big House, treating the visiting Gryphons of Thomas Jefferson Classical Academy to an old-fashioned 48-27 beat down on a gorgeous autumn evening in front of a large crowd of enthusiastic fans. Although the Gryphons, winless in nine outings this season, were never a match for the Polk County juggernaut, the visitors from Mooresboro managed to make a game of it through much of the first quarter. After Cary Littlejohn’s TD plunge on Polk’s opening drive put the Wolverines up by six, quarterback Mack Martin answered the bell on the Gryphon’s first possession, connecting with 6’6” wideout Travis WaldroupRodriguez for a 4-yard TD strike to put TJCA back on top 7-6 with 4:28 remaining in the first stanza. The Gryphons had little time to savor the lead, however, as Littlejohn, aka “the fastest man in the mountains,” took the ensuing kickoff at the 10 and, 14 seconds later, raced across the TJ goal line for a 90 yard touchdown return to put the Wolverines back on top 14-7. With the lead in hand, Polk would never look back, taking a 35-14 advantage into the locker room at halftime. A Wolverine touchdown midway through the third quarter gave Polk the 4114 lead, prompting head coach Bruce Ollis to empty the benches.
Player of the Week: #14 Joel Booker

En route to the win, the Wolverines set two new Polk County school records, gaining 426 yards on the ground and racking up a monstrous 488 total yards overall. Key contributors to the offensive onslaught included QB Alec Philpott, who carried 10 times for 157 yards and a TD, and Littlejohn, who rushed 17 times for 183 yards and four TDs. Philpott added 62 more yards through the air, including connecting three times with Joel Booker for 30 yards. “I was very pleased with our

offensive performance,” said Ollis. “Cary Littlejohn had another stellar evening, and has gone over 1,000 yards for the season, which is a pretty big deal – it’s the first time in quite a while that we have had a tailback go over a 1,000 yards rushing.”
With the victory, Polk improves to 7-2 overall and 4-1 in conference competition, putting the team into a three-way tie for the top spot in the WHC with Hendersonville, who crushed Owen 41-17, and Mitchell, who eked out yet another narrow victory, besting Mountain Heritage 31-28. This Friday, the Wolverines travel to the menacing confines of Shuford Field in Black Mountain to take on the Warhorses of Owen High School in front of what figures to be a large and boisterous crowd.

LHS Cardinals defense dominates SSC at homecoming by Joey Millwood
The Landrum Cardinals controlled the line of scrimmage and the defensive backs made plenty of big plays en route to a 20-14 win over Southside Christian. The defense has flown under the radar this season, but it shined in this victory. The front line led by Nic Logan, Austin Howell and Alex Bryant was downright dominant. That domination was glaring up front for the Cardinals defense, holding the Sabres to just 18 yards on 17 carries. “We played strong tonight,” Howell said of the defensive line. The perfect example of just how good Landrum was on defense was in Southside’s final drive. Sabre linebacker Adam Currin got his fingertips on a Brandon Cannon punt with less than five minutes to go. The Sabres had the ball, down 2014, on Landrum’s 26-yard-line. On the first play, Landrum’s T.J. Fincher blew into the backfield and tackled tailback Andrew Mcilwain for a five yard loss. On the next play, Chasten Thomas tackled Mcilwain for a four yard loss. The Sabres broke through for a first down when quarterback John Walker found Colby Boggs behind the Cardinal secondary for a 21 yard gain. Then the Cardinals had at least four black jerseys in the backfield, but Walker tripped for a 17-yard loss.

On 3rd and 20, Jacob Lindsey broke up a Walker pass in the end zone. Lindsey also had an interception earlier in the game. On the final play of the drive, Gavin Bishop dove in front of a Walker pass and tipped it away from Boggs. “All I was thinking was to stay back,” Bishop said. “I stayed back in coverage and waited for it.” Mahaffey, who calls the defensive plays, was beaming after the game. “(It was an) awesome defensive effort tonight,” Mahaffey said.
“Our defense really stepped it up.” One thing that it did prove was that the Cardinals (7-1, 3-0) could win without a dominating performance from its offense. The Cardinals came in averaging 31 points per game, but were slow out of the gates. Cannon ran in a touchdown in the second quarter from seven yards out. In the third quarter the Cardinals took a 14-6 lead on two Cole McDowell runs. The first went up the middle of the Sabre defense for 16 yards.
The second punched the ball into the end zone from five yards out. McDowell scored Landrum’s final touchdowns with 11:11 left in the fourth quarter on a three-yard-run. McDowell finished with 75 yards on 17 carries. He also had five receptions for 67 yards. Cannon threw for 226 yards. “We made a lot of mistakes (on offense),” Mahaffey said. “We’re going to have to work hard next week.” Landrum will play Blacksburg at home for senior night next Friday, Oct. 21 at 7:30 p.m.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the United States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other countries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand. Design your own dollar bill below.

My cure for enduring the mid-life crisis One of my favorite stories of all time has to be Peter Pan; the story of a young boy who refuses to grow up. Peter Pan comes from the realm of Never-Never Land, where people do not age. He encounters kids his own age and convinces them to come to his world to frolic in his adventures. He teaches them to enjoy life, play and think happy thoughts. They also encounter Captain Hook, the evil pirate who is being pursued by a crocodile with a ticking clock inside his belly. This crocodile is symbolic, of course, of the ticking of time pursuing ol’ Captain Hook, and Hook in turn trying to be the ruin of Peter Pan, the symbol of eternal youth and adventure. I think that story has always affected me because there is part of me that never really wants to grow up. Yet, the more and more I grow up, the more and more I see it to be inevitable. I have found my destiny: It is growing older, day by everincreasing day. I’m pondering this after just having my 35th birthday. Not real old, I know, but it’s a start in the
right direction. cringe. Bored means that either The average life expectancy in these kids need to find something the United States is 78.7 years as productive to do, or we need to of 2009.

For that fact alone, I think I need to endure the anguish of having more and more kids. If my hypothesis is correct, I will never feel old as long as I continue to increase the child population. The pixie dust will be flowing in my household and Never-Never Land will be my new address. These ever-aging bones will know no rest, as child after child of mine will use me to overcome boredom. I think I could live to about 120! Of course, at 35, I have a lot of tweaking to do on this theory. I also have lot of explaining to do to my wife as to how we’re going to pull it off.
