She finally did it. Local resident Bonnie Zelinskie jumped out of a plane and parachuted back down to earth Oct. 9. You might know lots of people who have gone skydiving, but how many 83-yearolds do you know who have done it? Zelinskie placed this item numero uno on her bucket list and refused to listen to naysayers. “You can’t imagine what it’s like. You do not have the feeling of falling at all – you just seem like you are floating up there,” Zelinskie said. “I said I wanted to stay up there for an hour and I think it only takes two or three minutes.

Tryon applies for up to $40k to develop plan for replacing E. Howard sewer line by Leah Justice
After identifying the East Howard Street trunk sewer line as one of its largest problem areas with storm water infiltration, the Town of Tryon is applying for a grant to develop a plan for its replacement.
Tryon Town Council agreed Tuesday, Oct. 18 to apply for a N.C. Rural Center grant up to $40,000 to cover the costs of developing the plan. The grant is a 50/50 match, so if approved the town would also contribute up to $40,000 for the project.
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said the plan is needed in order to obtain further grant funding to replace the sewer line. “The project plan will be for a badly needed sewer trunk line (Continued on page 4)

Zelinskie made her jump tightly connected to Michael Elliot, the same man who tandem-jumped twice with President George H. Bush. President Bush was 85 when he made his last jump. “I think that inspired a lot of elderly people to go out and do things that they didn’t think they could do before,” said Elliot. “I think it showed people that there is a lot of life left to live.” The same day that Zelinskie jumped, Elliot also took out a 95-year-old man. “You’ve got this man at 95 and Bonnie at 83 – their energy was overwhelming,” Elliot said. “I think it sends out such a positive message.” (Continued on page 4)

replacement project to address serious sewer system flow issues,” Hembree said. “The engineering plan developed from the planning project will be used to apply for subsequent implementation funding grants.” Tryon has had major drainage issues along East Howard Street during heavy rains. Residents have suffered sewer back-ups because storm water exceeded the capacity of the system. One resident in particular has suffered for years from sewage running into her yard from a town manhole. In 2009, the state fined the town $7,000 for violations relat-

ing to sewer back-ups in the area. Although the town has made some repairs, town officials say there are still problems and the line needs to be replaced. The town last year was awarded another rural center grant for an inflow and infiltration (I&I) study, which identified the East Howard trunk line as one of the town’s problem areas. The grant the town agreed to apply for last week is the next stage in the I&I process and would pay for drawings for replacing the line to the sewer plant, installing a larger line and a grit chamber. Isothermal Planning and Development Commission (IPDC) will prepare the application, which is due this week.

Halloween is observed annually on October 31 in the United States. It is primarily a children’s holiday when kids dress up in costumes and go door to door in their neighborhoods to receive candies and treats. This practice is known as “Trick or Treating.” The holiday originates from the Catholic holiday All Saints Day. This is the annual celebration of all the Catholic Saints in heaven. When the holiday was created, Saints were also referred to as being “hallow,” or holy. The night before the holiday was known as All Hallows Eve, hence the modern name of Halloween. Over time, one of the festival traditions established was for children to dress up in costumes. When going out on Halloween, always remember to stay with a group, led by an adult. Follow all safety rules!

Polk volleyball advances to second round of state by Daniel Hecht
As the 2011 2A volleyball championships begin, it is clear that expectations are sky-high for the Western Highlands Conference champion Lady Wolverines. So when Polk County took the first step on the road to the championship Saturday night by edging visiting Smoky Mountain in four close games, it’s fair to say head coach Heather Claussen was less than impressed with her team’s showing. “I just felt like we couldn’t get anything really rolling on our side tonight,” said Claussen, contrasting Polk’s struggle against the 12-10 Mustangs to last Tuesday’s powerhouse performance versus conference rival Hendersonville. “Things just felt a little bit off,” said Claussen, adding, “I’ll blame it on a Saturday.” Of course, any win is still a win
and, dominating or otherwise, the 21-25, 25-17, 25-19, 25-21 victory over the no. 3 seed from the WNCAC makes it now one down and five to go in the team’s quest for a state championship. Polk stat leaders in the match included Sarah Phipps and Katie Ruff with 10 and eight kills respectively, while freshman Kara Overholt notched 31 assists and 11 service points. Defensive standouts included Savannah Deaver with five blocks, while Shalyn Brown recorded 10 digs. Next up for Polk County is Pisgah High School, the no. 1 seed from the Western N.C. Athletic Conference. The 17-5 Lady Bears dominated the Owen Warlassies 3-0 in their first round game, and figure to give the 18-4 Lady Wolverines all they can handle when they roll into town this afternoon for a 6 p.m. start.

Wolverines edge Warhorses 20-17 in nail-biter at Black Mountain by Daniel Hecht
In the biggest victory of the 2011 season thus far, the Polk County Wolverines football team held on in the final minute of play Oct. 21, upending the Owen Warhorses, 20-17. The hard-fought battle, waged on the turf at Shuford Field, proved just the sort of nip-andtuck affair that has become the standard anytime the two confer-

ence rivals clash. “Every game with Owen over the course of the past seven years has pretty much gone down to the wire,” said Polk head coach Bruce Ollis. The Wolverines marked first with just 3:07 left, as QB Alec Philpott connected with Joel Booker for a 20-yard TD strike to give Polk the go-ahead score. Just when it appeared that the
Wolverines would take a 7-point lead into the intermission, Owen kicker Gerald Cruz drilled a 51yard field goal with 3 seconds left to shave the Wolverine lead to four. Following a scoreless third period, Owen’s Jordan Littlejohn scampered into the Polk end zone from 18 yards out to give the home team the 10-7 advantage. Two minutes later, the Wolver-
ines took back the lead on Tyler Ridings’ 2-yard TD plunge, making it 14-10. Less than four minutes later, with 5:30 remaining, Owen’s Littlejohn again found the end zone to put the Warhorses back on top 17-14. The play of the evening came as the Wolverines, facing a fourth (Continued on page 11)

Cardinals remain unbeaten, region championship Friday by Joey Millwood
Landrum handled business on Friday, Oct. 21 against Blacksburg to remain unbeaten and now will face Christ Church for the Region II1A championship on Friday night. For the Cardinals, the dream season continues. It didn’t start well for the Cardinals on Friday, however. The Wildcats offered up a heavy dose of Ray Ellis in the first two quarters and the Landrum defense was having a hard time slowing the tailback up. On Blacksburg’s second possession, Ellis ran the ball eight times in a 19-play drive that ended with quarterback Treyvon Parker scoring a touchdown from the one-yard-line. Landrum answered with a different type of drive. Brandon Cannon led the Cardinals downfield on a three-play drive that ended with a pass to Peyton McCarter for a 66-yard touchdown. With two blocked extra point attempts, the game was 6-6 at the half. The Wildcats forced a three and out to start the second half on defense. On their next drive, Ellis ran the ball four consecutive times for 24 yards before Deandre Surratt punched the ball in from the

and one at their own 29 with less than four minutes to go, called Cary Littlejohn’s number. Following a key block by Markece Cunningham, Polk’s resident speed demon raced 55 yards down the sideline, giving the Wolverines the ball at the Owen 8 after a 15-yard horse collar penalty. Two plays later, Littlejohn found the end zone, giving Polk the 20-17 advantage after the extra point try missed wide. A final Owen drive managed to push the ball all the way down to the Polk 28, before a swarming Wolverine pass rush sacked QB Carl Patton for a 7-yard loss. Out of downs and with just 28 ticks left on the clock, the Warhorses lined
16-yard-line to give Blacksburg the lead. Ellis ran in the two-point conversion to put Blacksburg up 14-6. The Cardinals, interrupted by a Parker injury, drove down the field and McDowell ran a touchdown up the middle of the Wildcat defense from the 10-yard-line. A two-point conversion failed, leaving the Wildcats with a 14-12 lead. On the next two Blacksburg drives, the Cardinals defense finally applied the pressure that was shown in previous games this season. Black jerseys met Wildcat runners in their backfield instead of downfield. The biggest defensive play of the night came with just over nine minutes remaining. Landrum’s Chasten Thomas blew up the Wildcat line and stuffed Marcus Ellmore in the backfield for a five-yard-loss. The play forced Blacksburg to punt. “It was a big play,” Thomas said. “They were a good running team.” The Landrum offense res p o n d e d a p p r e c i a t i v e l y. Tailback Aaron Bryant ran for 17 yards on the first two plays of the drive. McDowell followed with an 11-yard run. Blacksburg called a timeout with 7:20 left in the fourth
quarter. On the next play, Cannon found Jacob Lindsey in the end zone for a 28-yard touchdown. Cannon then handed the ball off up the middle to Bryant who punched in the twopoint conversion. The Cardinals now turn their focus to the region championship.
up for a 52-yard field goal try to tie the game. The kick by Cruz had the length but sailed wide right, sealing Polk’s victory. “I’ll say this – when the game was on the line, we made plays to win the game,” said Ollis. “That was the first time this season where we took a lead into the fourth quarter, lost it and then came back to win the game. I think our team may benefit more from winning a game in that manner than winning by three or four scores.” Polk improves to 8-2 overall and 5-1 in conference competition, and remains tied for first in the WHC with Hendersonville and Mitchell. The Wolverines host the Bearcats this week in the regular season finale to determine the Western Highlands Conference championship.

“It’s been real tough to keep their eyes off (Christ Church),” head coach Russell Mahaffey said. “We’ve tried not to talk about them until it’s time to talk about them.” He stopped, smiled and said, “It’s time to talk about them.” Landrum plays at Christ Church at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28.

These results are not conclusive because among older people falls can often be medication-related or due to dizziness from high blood pressure, a blood vessel problem or other diseases like Parkinson’s disease. Falls can also cause head injury or brain trauma that leads to cognitive problems. What we should take away from that finding is that people who suffer falls that seem to occur for no particular reason could be well served by being evaluated for dementia. Alzheimer’s remains a frightening specter in a growing number of our aging population, but we’re gaining ground on tools for early diagnosis, and hopeful that new drugs may provide treatment or a cure in the future.

Methodists sponsor steak dinner Oct. 26 Real men wear aprons. If you have any doubt, you can see them in action Wednesday, Oct. 26 at Tryon United Methodist Church. They’ll be grilling ribeye steaks to order, baking potatoes, clearing tables and even washing the dishes during the church’s 39th annual steak dinner event. The women provide the abundant home-made desserts. The Methodist Men, who sponsor the dinner every year, make the point that although the event is termed a fundraiser, their primary goal is to offer great food and fellowship at a price their neighbors will find affordable.
