Rescued: an FHS adoption success story By Samantha Hurst
Eighty-three pounds of nothing but puppy plops down on the ground beside John Cash underneath the pecan tree in his backyard. As Cash cracks two pecans against each other, Brew’s eyes become fixated on the prize inside his master’s hands. His nostrils flare and his smile widens. “People keep telling me how great it was for us to rescue Brew. But I didn’t rescue Brew, Brew rescued me,� Cash said. John and Diane Cash of Landrum adopted Brew from the Foothills Humane Society in May of this year. John, who owns Nature’s Storehouse in Tryon, was still reeling from the death of his son, Justin, when his 15-year-old Huskie had to be put down. (Continued on page 5)
John Cash cracks open handfuls of pecans for his dog, Brew, as they enjoy a sunny afternoon in their backyard. Brew was once one of many animals turned in to the Foothills Humane Society in need of forever homes. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

“I just didn’t think I could love something so much again only to lose it,” Cash said. “People kept telling me, “Get another dog, get another dog, but I just couldn’t do it.” Then Cash met Brew. It wasn’t love at first sight necessarily. Cash’s heart was still broken and he couldn’t convince himself he was ready to pour out that kind of love again. Brew, however, knew Cash was meant to be his owner. “He came straight to me and sat down on my foot,” John said. “I fell in love with that crazy dog – he picked me out.” It still took time for Cash to convince himself to bring Brew

result of H.B. 642, the state has reinvested more than $4 million annually on community-based treatment programs to improve outcomes for people on supervision. Many parts of the legislation will become effective on Dec. 1. To prepare for this date, the Department of Correction and the Administrative Office of the Courts are working together with agencies and organizations that will be responsible for implementing the legislation. Much work needs to be done, including developing new probation policies and procedures, identifying county jail capacity, and training stakeholders, such as probation officers, judges and district attorneys, about the new legislation. To assist with implementing the legislation, North Carolina is receiving technical assistance from the CSG Justice Center and we expect to receive funding from the Bureau of Justice Assistance. Funding will be used to provide training, education and upgrades to data
home. But once he did, he knew he had met Brew for a reason. Since adopting Brew from FHS, Cash and Brew have become regular faces on the downtown streets of Landrum; usually grabbing a seat in one of the Adirondack chairs outside Amish Foothills Furniture to people-watch. Cash said they could sit there for hours. “That dog has ministered to me on so many levels,” Cash said. “I needed something so badly to brighten my day and he’s been it. One of my favorite parts of the day is going home to see my dog.” If you are interested in giving an animal a forever home and possibly being rescued y o u r s e l f , v i s i t w w w. f o o thillshumanesociety.org for more information about adoption. systems. To help ensure that people understand what is in the law and why policies were made, I have been speaking to many groups across the state. I was honored to be invited to speak with district attorneys at their conference in Concord about the changes being made as a result of the passage of the Justice Reinvestment Act. They asked many great questions and I appreciated the opportunity to discuss the new law. I also had the pleasure of meeting with staff in the Department of Correction Division of Community Corrections when they were learning more about the Justice Reinvestment Act while attending a manager’s meeting in Raleigh. This week I am in Raleigh as we go back into session on Monday, Nov. 7 and have various committee meetings throughout the week. I will be traveling back to Brevard on Friday and would like to recognize and thank all of the veterans throughout District 113 for their service to our country so that we are able to celebrate our freedoms on Veteran’s Day and throughout the year.

Nationwide emergency test tomorrow by Leah Justice
Television and radio will be interrupted tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 9 for a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). The test will occur over all broadcast TV stations, radio stations and video providers, including cable and satellite operators. The test will begin at 2 p.m. and last up to three and a half minutes, according to a letter from Charter sent to the Polk County Manager’s office. The national test will be conducted jointly through the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through its Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) which are the three federal agenjbtrees - page 10
cies that have EAS management responsibilities. The EAS has been in existence over 15 years, but there has never been a nationwide, end-to-end test of the system. The nationwide test is being conducted to verify the reliability of the EAS system and its effectiveness in alerting the public on a national scale. “The upcoming national test is critical in ensuring the EAS works as designed,” said Jamie Barnett, Chief of the FCC’s Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau. “As recent disasters here at home and Japan have reminded us, a reliable and effective emergency alert and warning system is key to ensuring the public’s safety during times of emergency.” Going forward the FCC will likely require annual tests of the system and plans to give the public two months notice.

Cardinals soar past Calhoun County
Landrum tailback Aaron Bryant carries the ball against Calhoun County Friday, Nov. 4 in the 1A state playoffs. The Cardinals dismantled the Saints for a 35-0 victory. Landrum will travel to Abbeville Friday, Nov. 11. (photo by Joey Millwood) by Joey Milwood
If there’s one thing Landrum rolled into the state playoffs with on Friday night, it was a short memory. Last week’s tough 44-0 loss to Christ Church – where everything that could go wrong, went wrong – was forgotten. The Cardinals stepped out onto the gridiron Friday night in the first round of the 1A state playoffs and dismantled Calhoun County en route to a 35-0 win. Landrum didn’t do anything different this week leading up to the Saints game, LHS Head Coach Russell Mahaffey said. The difference this week was execution. “All the credit goes to my kids Player of the Week: #11 Cary Littlejohn
and my coaches,” Mahaffey said. Mahaffey has to take some credit, however. He still calls the defensive game for the Cardinals, with Landrum dominating the Saints. The Cardinals held the Saints to just 25 yards on 22 carries and quarterback Terrence Whitmore to just 90 yards passing. Even more impressive, Aaron Bryant – who got his third and fourth interception in the last two weeks – and Peyton McCarter held Virginia Tech commit Mark Irick to zero catches. “I can’t say enough about our defense,” Mahaffey said. “They just kept coming.” Offensively, the Cardinals had their best performance in weeks
under the direction of offensive coordinator Tucker Hamrick and quarterback Brandon Cannon. Cannon found his rhythm again. The senior threw for 195 yards and a touchdown. He ran for 63 yards and a touchdown. “We could’ve put our heads down (after last week’s loss),” Cannon said. “I felt like we had a really good game plan and we executed it.” Cannon hit McCarter for a 69yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and then ran in a three-yard score in the third quarter. A big key in that game plan was getting the running game going again. The Cardinals struggled last week on the ground because of
blocking issues, but those problems were nonexistent against Calhoun. The Cardinals, led by Aaron Bryant, ran up 174 yards on the ground. Bryant ran for 88 yards and scored a touchdown in the second quarter. “It felt great to contribute like that,” Bryant said. “We did good. I have to give it up to the (offensive) line.” The Cardinals added their final two scores in the fourth quarter. Chasten Thomas picked off a Whitmore pass in the middle of the field and ran it back 30 yards for a pick six. JoJo Wilkins added a final score with 2:23 left in the game on a two-yard run. The Cardinals will travel to No. 1 seeded Abbeville Friday, Nov. 11.

Wolverines eliminate Warhorses 13-7 in first round playoff action by Daniel Hecht
After ending the regular season with a humbling 37-12 loss to the Hendersonville Bearcats, the Polk County coaches threw down the gauntlet to the Wolverine players. Head coach Bruce Ollis and his staff challenged the team to be PIGS – that is, to play with Pride, Intensity and Guts – and redeem their honor, and their edge, heading into the state 2A playoffs. Friday night at the Little Big House, all three of those attributes were in ample supply as Polk County took the first step on the road to Raleigh, downing the visiting Warhorses of Owen High School 13-7. “The playoffs are all about winning and advancing and marching
on, and that’s what we’re doing,” said Ollis following the narrow first round victory. “We knew this game was going to be close and it was – our defense came up huge there at the end.” Following a scoreless first quarter, Polk was first to mark with 9:17 left in the half, as Cary Littlejohn dove into the Owen end zone from 2 yards out to give the Wolverines the 7-0 edge at the break. Littlejohn scored again halfway through the third quarter, plunging in for a 1-yard TD to make it 13-0 Polk following the blocked extra point attempt. Entering the final stanza down by two scores, the Warhorses kicked it up a notch, scoring with 10:19 left
to cut the Wolverine lead in half. On the move again, with less than three minutes remaining, Owen pushed the ball all the way down to the Polk 10 before a personal foul flag stalled their drive. Facing a third and long with just two minutes to go, Owen QB Carl Patton aired it out, but Polk’s Tyler Ridings picked off the pass, sealing the victory for the Wolverines. “I knew he was running a wheel route, so I faded over there, and he laid it up,” said Ridings. “When he faded out, I knew it was coming.” Offensively, the Wolverines were led by Littlejohn, who carried the ball 34 times for 215 yards and two TD, giving Polk’s speedster 27 touchdowns on the season, tying the
school record set by Daniel McEntyre in 2004. QB Alec Philpott went 4-10, passing for 93 yards, and Markece Cunningham had three receptions for 76 yards. Defensively, the Wolverines were truly PIGS, holding Owen to just 158 yards. “I’m very proud of the way we played defensively,” said Ollis. “The first time we played them, they really rushed the ball on us, and tonight we played great run stop defense.” With the win, the #2 seed Wolverines advance to the district round, playing host this Friday to the No. 3 seed Maiden Blue Devils, who triumphed over East Rutherford 26-13.
Annual baller basketball camp held Nov. 14 at Tryon Elementary gym Head Coach Steve Whiteside will hold the 12th annual baller basketball camp for third through 12th graders beginning Nov. 14 at the Tryon Elementary Gym in Tryon.

The camp is open to both boys and girls who are interested in learning the techniques of basketball. Steve Whiteside is also a head coach of the AAU (Amateur Athletic Union), YBOA (Youth Basketball of America) and the USBA (Unites States Basketball Academy), all youth-oriented basketball organizations. Assisting him this
year will be Trenton Carson, coach at Landrum Recreation Center, and Truston Whiteside, who plays at Landrum High School. There will be clinics in passing and dribbling as well as shooting drills. The participants will learn the techniques of the game and about each of the five positions and how they fit together to make
a team. Two other lessons taught will be understanding the discipline it takes to play the game and the importance of taking direction. For further information and to sign up for the camp, call Steve Whiteside at 828-447-8915 or 864 385-0370. - article submitted by Steve Whiteside

Using technology to assist seniors aging in place You can’t help but notice that technology has come a long way with providing better means of connecting millions of people on a daily basis. Today, there are some incredible technological advances for our homes, and in particular for seniors, that may allow many of them not only to stay in their own homes but to have the benefit of technology looking after many of their basic concerns. As an attendee at the 2005 White House Conference on Aging, I recall walking through the technology fair that showcased universities and corporations displaying home-based products and concepts designed to allow our aging population to safely remain in their homes longer. This is part of what is called “aging in place.” This makes sense for those who are still able to safely continue to live on their own, perhaps with just a few upgrades in care and oversight. Aging in place offers an alternative to being moved into the home of

We, as a society, are getting older, living longer, developing and relying more and more on science and technology for assistance and support. And all of that can be wonderful, particularly if it helps keep some of us at home longer while providing increased safety and improving our quality of life. While personal involvement cannot be replaced by technology, it sure makes you wonder about the future of aging, particularly when the person that’s aging is you.

Traditional blacksmithing workshop at TAC Nov. 13 Tryon Arts and Crafts School will host a traditional blacksmithing workshop with instructor Walt Myers. The weekend workshop will be held on Saturday, Nov. 12, 8 a.m. -5 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 13, 1 p.m.- 5 p.m. at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road in Tryon. One hundred years ago, one could find a blacksmith in almost every village, town and city in America. The blacksmith was the toolmaker, implement fixer, the one who fashioned all manner of fittings, kitchen devices, and yes, shoes for horses and oxen. Experienced blacksmith Walt Myers will teach an introduction to traditional blacksmithing. This workshop will include a little bit of history, a lot about safety, how to build and manage a fire, use of standard black-
smithing tools and basic forging operations such as fullering, drawing a taper, upsetting, punching, twisting, hot cutting and MIG welding. Students will make a folding firewood carrier while practicing these operations. The class is intended for those with no previous blacksmithing experience. Students may expect to leave having constructed their own fire rack. Just as every village needed a blacksmith, every fireplace needs a nice place for firewood. Myers was trained as an engineer. His career was dedicated to the metalworking industry. He has challenged himself with forging decorative iron for 35 years. Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information about the instructor
or workshop, including tuition and supply costs, please contact Tryon Arts & Crafts School at 828-859-8323 or by email at tryonartsandcrafts@windstream. net. More details and examples
of projects are available on the Tryon Arts and Crafts School website, www.TryonArtsandCrafts.org. Space is limited. - article submitted by Julia McIntyre

PAC hike on Walnut Creek Preserve on Nov. 12 of last year. (photo submitted by Pacolet Area Conservancy)
Outdoor enthusiasts and hikers are invited to join the Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) Friday, Nov. 11. This is a moderate 4-mile hike at Walnut Creek Preserve. Babs Strickland, owner and manager of Walnut Creek Preserve, will start the hike from the new Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center located within the preserve. The trail leads hikers through the preserve’s varied natural resource areas, along a loop that follows Walnut Creek and several of its tributaries. The preserve is private land and the public is allowed on the property by invitation only.
The 2,100 acre Walnut Creek Preserve contains two-miles of Walnut Creek, including a waterfall and more than 25 tributaries to Walnut Creek, most of which originate on the preserve. The preserve is comprised of forests and pastureland and is home to a variety of indigenous plant life, including rare and threatened species, as well as a wealth of animal life. Hikers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear, bring a bag lunch and/or snack, plenty of water and any personal medication. In case of inclement weather, contact
the PAC office by 8:15 a.m. on the day of the hike to see if the hike will take place. Contact the PAC office to sign up by phone at 828-859-5060 or email landprotection@pacolet.org. Hikers will meet in Columbus at the Bi-Lo parking lot at 8:30 a.m. or at McGuinn’s Exxon (located at the intersection of N.C. Hwy. 9 and McGuinn Road) at 9 a.m. PAC welcomes last-minute participants. If you cannot make this hike, visit www.pacolet.org or follow PAC’s Facebook. - article submitted by Pam Torlina
