Robert Williamson and another volunteer worked to put some of the final touches on the new House of Flags museum Wednesday, Nov. 9 in preparation for the grand opening Friday, Nov. 11 at noon in Columbus. Nov. 11, 2011 marks the culmination of more than a decade of work initiated by founder George Scofield and VFW Post 9116. Scofield and other dedicated volunteers, who believed in the historical significance flags hold, diligently raised funds and in-kind donations to make the museum possible. “It didn’t happen all at once, but it’s a testament to the community support behind this project,” said House of Flags Chairman Williamson. Donations include two from an anonymous donor in the amounts of $10,000 last year and $30,000 this year, for a total of $40,000. In August, The Timken Foundation of Canton, Ohio, awarded a significant grant to the museum. Upon completion, the second floor will be named the Timken Room and the Timken (Continued on page 3)

Polk County commissioners on Monday, Nov. 7 discussed the possibility of amending the county’s volunteer board policy to eliminate the requirement of having to reside in Polk County in order to serve on a board. Commissioner Ted Owens made the suggestion, saying there are some boards where the director of an agency, such as the adult day care, would be an asset on the council on aging board, but can’t serve because of the policy. Commissioners plan to vote whether to change the policy during the county’s next meeting, scheduled for Nov. 21 at 3 p.m.

Whitson said since Western Highlands is part of the Medicaid waiver now, the organization will need a presence in Polk County. Polk’s Medicaid recipients will likely fall under Western Highlands in January, Whitson said. Western Highlands requested
an office in the new DSS building, located on Wolverine Trail, for two days per week. Whitson said if Western Highlands hires two employees, the organization could be in Polk County four days per week. Whitson recommended that Western Highlands use one office at no charge. Some commissioners questioned whether the county should charge rent for the space. Whitson responded that Transylvania County allows Western Highlands to use space at no charge. “I want them here,” Whitson said. “Western Highlands will work with some of our (Medicaid) enrollees and make sure they are getting proper services.” Commissioners decided to (Continued on page 11)

Watson’s Riddle concert to benefit Polk Wellness Center Band features legendary musicians by Samantha Hurst
A handful of legendary musicians are set to take the stage of the Tryon Fine Arts Center Saturday, Nov. 12 to benefit the Polk Wellness Center and debut the first album of their new collaboration. “It was just perfect timing,” Watson’s Riddle

receive a recommendation from the county’s mental health board prior to making a decision on whether to allow Western Highlands to use an office. Western Highlands, a local management entity (LME) that serves eight counties, including
Polk, agreed earlier this year to join the Medicaid waiver program for mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse programs. The change, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2012, will mean that Western Highlands will administer Medicaid services, which are currently handled by the state. The state decided last year to
phase Medicaid services back to LMEs like Western Highlands, and all eight county commissions in Western Highlands agreed to join the program. Western Highlands agreed this year to hire and train 54 employees to administer Medicaid services. The organization expects to receive approximately $93 million more in funding to
provide the service. In addition to Polk County, Western Highlands serves Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, Mitchell, Rutherford, Transylvania and Yancey counties. Polk County joined Western Highlands in 2002 after the state reformed mental health and mandated that counties form LMEs.

Silent auction planned for ‘local’ Christmas ornaments Tryon Downtown Development Association (TDDA) plans to hold a silent auction for “locally designed” Christmas ornaments beginning the night of the Tryon Christmas Stroll on Friday, Dec. 2. Tryon area artists are invited to design and construct original, one-of-a-kind Christmas ornaments, and donate them to TDDA to help raise funds for TDDA’s downtown redevelopment activities. Ornament size will be at the discretion of the artist, but should be a typical ornament size and weight, and should be designed to be held on a wire ornament hangar. Artists should include their name, a title for the ornament and descriptive information that may be of interest to the bidder. Ornaments should be delivered to Skyuka Fine Art (Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.) at 133 N Trade Street in downtown Tryon, no later than Wednesday, Nov. 30. Prizes (gift certificates donated from local merchants) will be awarded to the top three entries. The ornaments will be displayed on a “rotating” Christmas tree located within Skyuka Fine Art beginning on the evening of the stroll and will remain on display until Friday, Dec. 16, where a wine and cheese reception will be held from 6 - 8 p.m. to announce the highest bids. Bidding will close at 7 p.m. Winning bidders not present at the reception will be notified and ornaments may be picked up upon receipt of payment. TDDA invites all residents to attend the annual Christmas Stroll and bid on a chance to obtain a unique ornament to
add to their collection. For more information contact: Kim Nelson, Skyuka Fine Art at 828-817-3783 or info@skyukafineart.com.

Sometimes she would ask what her life had been good for. She wasn’t at all certain she had accomplished anything very much. She had been primarily a wife and mother, she said. What did I leave behind, she asked? Love, I said. Healthy, happy, good citizens. Three children, seven grandchildren, and all of them strong, good people.

We do not know why the world is the way it is. Nobody does. We can describe it, categorize it and count its blessings and its horrors. But because we love, because we care, because we can work with one another, we bring a little more wholeness and a little more holiness into the world. One by one and two by two and four by four… we matter.

or a Presbyterian)… yet she had always lived that principle. One of the main founders of American Unitarianism (in the early 1800s) was William Ellery Channing. He was protesting the conservative Protestants of his day, especially the New England Puritans. They proclaimed that human beings are depraved sinners in the hands of an angry God, and the purpose of human life was to endure suffering so that you could go to heaven. Not so, said Channing: a human being is a noble being. A person has a soul which is God’s seed with sacred potential. That potential can be developed and expressed. The soul can grow. The point of life is to grow our souls -- and
she said. So proud. And I responded, I am so proud that you were my mother. You matter to me. In fact, she mattered to almost everyone whose lives she touched. She listened. She affirmed. She gave love as easily as breathing. The staff where she lived said she made a big difference in their lives, because she listened to their ups and downs, and concerns. She told one of them that she believed in the worth and dignity of every person. I think going to the Unitarian Universalist church must have rubbed off on her because “affirming the worth and dignity of every person” is our very first principle.

2009 Sidney Lanier Competition winner Laurianne Ross and Bonnie Bardos read at a past Upstairs Artspace’s Literary Open Stage event. (photo submitted)
Literary Open Stage returns Nov. 11 at Upstairs Artspace The Upstairs Artspace will once again host its Literary Open Stage Friday, Nov. 11. Doors open at 6:30 and the readings begin at 7 p.m.. All are welcome to read their original work for 10 minutes. Organizers said they never know who will read or what will be read, so each event is always different. Work ranges from prose to poetry to song, and from fiction to non-fiction, with a common thread
of high-quality original literature. Come to read or enjoy the work of others in a supportive environment. Sign-in for those wanting to read is 6:30 – 7 p.m. The Upstairs Artspace is located in downtown Tryon at 49 S. Trade Street. Check the website at upstairsartspace.org for information, future dates and even a few videos from past events. - article submitted by Jeff Jenkins

“He’s a sweet orange tabby that’s about a year old and he won’t stop purring even though he’s injured.” “Okay,” I laughed, “I’m sold but can you save the leg?” “Dr. Maiolo says he can, he’s done this before with great success, he’ll have a pin and a splint for awhile till he heals.” “Will it cost less than a thousand dollars? I said, laughing again, thinking of my cousin Teddy. “Dr. Maiolo says $850 and as low as $650 if there aren’t any complications.” “Okay sweetheart, I’ll be in tomorrow after work to meet him and bring a check for his care.”
The next day I went to Landrum vet to meet the new kid on the block. The staff weren’t kidding, the sweet boy was a purr machine. I never ceased to be moved when an injured animal keeps all the love in its’ heart through all the pain. Up front as I was making out the check for the cat’s care, the staff piped up again, “God bless you Lennie, you’re the best.” “Cut that out,” I replied, (sternly but mockingly) “that boy is exactly what my funds are for.” As I was set to leave I turned back and asked, “By the way, what’s his name?” “Oh,” they answered, “we’ve named him Teddy.” Thanks for listening.

Now she is very ill, has had two surgeries at Duke Hospital and is facing more surgery. Her medical bills have skyrocketed beyond

“Hope” is one of Hospice’s best medications When 71-year-old Richard Myers arrived in North Carolina from his home in Illinois to live with his brother Dewey and sister-in-law, Karen, he’d given up on living his life. In fact, he came to the south to die, to spend his remaining days on the pastoral mountain where he and his brother had camped years before, a peaceful place where the memories were good and the connections meaningful. Myers was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2000 and after surgery to remove his left kidney, his doctor in Illinois assured him he was cancer-free. Eight years later a broken leg led to the discovery that the cancer was back and had metastasized to his bones. “In Olney, my doctors told me over and over this was going to kill me. You hear that often enough you start believing it. You stop living,” Myers said as he sat at the kitchen table in Dewey and Karen’s house, looking alert and sounding strong for a man who a few months earlier thought he’d never see his Illinois home again. Pointing to Dewey and Karen, he said, “These two people here carried me when I thought I couldn’t walk.” Myers had been living with his older brother, Kenny, in Olney, but when Kenny could no longer care for him, Richard turned to Dewey. As the two youngest of seven children, Richard and Dewey had always shared a special bond. “We wanted to give him an opportunity to return to an area that he loves and hopefully we could provide some quality care with the combination of Hospice. He’s thrived. He really has,” Dewey said. Caregiving in the Dewey household depends on teamwork. Dewey, who is home all day, prepares most of Richard’s meals. “This has been good for me, very good for me,” Dewey says,

“The Hospice House and Richard’s hospice team have helped me, and Karen has guided and pushed me.” With his medication adjusted and taken at three intervals throughout the day, palliative care and better nutrition, Richard continues to improve physically. Feeling better has changed his outlook.
“He’s got hope now,” Dewey says. The last time Richard was at the Hospice House, his doctor told him there was no reason he couldn’t return home to Illinois. “Boy, you talk about a new lease on life,” Richard says, “I mean that picked me up out of (Continued on page 36)

the ashes.” Waiting for him back in Illinois is his house, his automotive upholstery workshop, the business he’s been in for more than 40 years, and most important of all, his beloved motorcycle. “I looked for years for the perfect motorcycle so I could retire and ride. I finally found this one. That’s hard for me to do without because it meant so much to me. That’s my love in life that motorcycle,” Richard says. Eighty-year-old retired orthopedic surgeon and HoCF volunteer Bob Field shares Richard’s enthusiasm for riding and often brings motorcycle
magazines on his weekly visits. “I am truly inspired by my time spent with Richard. He has an aura of such calm resolve,” Field said. Field was introduced to Hospice three years ago when his wife needed care and now gives his time providing companionship, conversation and friendship to patients in their homes. “[Richard] is a wonderful person of many talents and great courage and optimism,” Field said. Myers holds a picture of himself on his motorcycle, which he got to ride for only one year before his second battle with cancer began. The look in his eyes says he will ride again. - article submitted by Marsha Van Hecke

Cardinals go head-to-head with defending state champs by Joey Millwood
Landrum Head Coach Russell Mahaffey was walking around the practice field with a smile on his face. The likeable coach was coaching up his defense as they ran drills against Tucker Hamrick’s offense. Mahaffey and the Cardinals felt a little better this week at practice. Landrum dismantled Calhoun County in what some would call an upset. Anyone that has watched the Cardinals this season, however, wouldn’t look at it that way. With the exception of the Christ Church game, Landrum has looked like a team on a mission. That mission is to reach the 1A state championship game. After dominating the Saints last week, the Cardinals shifted their focus to Abbeville. At practice on Tuesday night, there was no fear in any of the Landrum players’ eyes. There was a quiet focus among the players and coaches. The Cardinals will be on the road against the No. 1 1A team

in the state, but there was a quiet swagger in this practice. The roadblock that stands in the Cardinals’ way this Friday night
is the defending state champion. Abbeville is led by tailback Ashton Heard and quarterback Kelly Bryant.
Friday will be a tough contest for the Cardinals. The second round playoff game kicks off at 7:30 p.m.
Polk to host Maiden Friday in District Round of NC 2A state playoffs by Daniel Hecht
Tomorrow is 11-11-11 – a date that occurs just once every 100 years and sparks the imagination of many. As our nation honors its veterans, courthouse clerks across the country rush to fulfill marriage license requests, while hotels from Atlantic City to Las Vegas brace for an influx of superstitious gamblers looking to cash in on the lucky digits. But for the 16 teams that were
fortunate enough to survive the first round of North Carolina’s 2A state playoffs last week, tomorrow night is about just one thing – winning and advancing to the next round. And at the Little Big House, home of Wolverine Nation and one of only eight stadiums that will host 2A District Round contests Friday, the increase in the level of energy and intensity is conspicuous. “Our team is very excited about being home for the second round
of the playoffs and trust our home field advantage will be a factor in the game,” said Polk head coach Bruce Ollis. “We have told our players all week – the winner moves on and the loser goes home.” The Wolverines will square off against Maiden High School, a team that Polk County defeated in the first round of last year’s championships. Although the Blue Devils tend to line up in shotgun formation
95 percent of the time, the team rarely puts the ball in the air. “They get in the shotgun to run the ball, not to throw,” said Ollis, adding that Maiden’s offense is ground based by 5 to 1. Leading the offense for Maiden will be senior quarterback Matt Johnson, a very physical runner as well as a talented passer. “He is primarily used like a full(Continued on page 39)

Will Jenkins, an exceptionally quick tailback with breakaway speed, will join Johnson in the backfield. On the defensive side of the ball, the Blue Devils will be led by middle linebacker Dillon Painter, a 6’2” 220-pound junior. Asked what Polk will need to do to come out on top and move on to the Sectional Round, Ollis replied that it is all about focus. “Defensively, we must focus on stopping the running game and the play action pass that goes along with it,” said Ollis. “On offense, we have to take better advantage of our scoring opportunities and eliminate turnovers.” To be sure, Polk’s own lucky no. 11, Cary Littlejohn, the team’s leading rusher with 1,450 yards and 27 touchdowns, will look

calcium every day, so we obviously have to put it back. There is also evidence that calcium helps prevent colon cancer. Ingesting calcium and absorbing it are two different things. Many factors like diet, medications, and even exercise can influence calcium absorption. Vitamin D along with Phosphorus is needed to absorb calcium. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus should be one to one. This can create a problem, because if you consume too many phosphorus rich foods like soft drinks your calcium/phosphorus balance can be off, thereby not only preventing calcium absorption, but also actually causing calcium to be leached from your bones. Daily allowance: 1200-1500 mg. (The two most common forms of calcium you’ll probably come across are calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. Both are well absorbed, but should be taken differently. Calcium carbonate should be taken with food and calcium citrate should be taken on an empty stomach for proper absorption. Coral calcium is calcium carbonate.) Next week, we’ll continue the list. David Crocker of Landrum has been a nutritionist for 24 years. He served as strength director of the Spartanburg Y.M.C.A., head strength coach for the S.C. state champion girls gymnastic team, USC-Spartanburg baseball team, Converse college equestrian team, lead trainer to L.H. Fields modeling agency, and taught four semesters at USC-Union. David was also a regular guest of the Pam Stone radio show.
‘Fact and Folklore in the Garden’ at ICC Nov. 14 The Foothills Association of Master Gardeners will sponsor a special program entitled “Fact and Folklore in the Garden� to be presented by Linda Alford on Monday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. at Isothermal Community College in Columbus. Sometimes Grandma was right, but sometimes she was
wrong. Some garden commonplace practices are contradicted by scientific research, some are supported and for some, the evidence is not yet clear. Myth or misconception? Which common rules can you safely break? The answers may surprise you as Alford, a Master
Gardener and frequent speaker at garden symposiums, explores 20 common practices from tree staking to organic gardening. The program is open to the public. A brief business meeting of the Foothills Association of Master Gardeners will follow. - article submitted by Barbara Clegg

Author, journalist Burger to speak at Lanier Library Nov. 15 He continued writing his very popular “Metro” column until his retirement from journalism earlier this year. While still a newspaper man, he began a new career as a fiction writer and published his first novel, “Swallow Savannah” in 2008. His second novel, “Sister Santee,” was published in 2010, and both were named among the best Southern fiction by the Independent Publishers Association. By popular demand, he also
published a collection of his sports columns under the title “Life Through the Earholes of Our Youth,” which has now become a collector's item. The program is part of the Lanier Library’s Brown Bag Lunch series, which is held on the third Tuesday of the month. Audiences are encouraged to bring a bag lunch, if they wish to do so. The program is free to both members and non-members of the library and coffee is provided. - article submitted by Frances Flynn

Don McInnis of Weddington, N.C. and Joe Epley of Polk County presented the Special Forces Regimental flag to the House of Flags on behalf of the Charlotte-based group of Special Forces veterans. Shown (from left to right) Joyce Preston, secretary; McInnis; Epley; Robert Williamson, House of Flags chairman; Elisabeth Burrell and Paul Southerland, House of Flags treasurer.
Special Forces Regimental flag, one of many at House of Flags The grand opening of the House of Flags new location at 33 Gibson Street in Columbus on Veterans Day couldn’t be more appropriately timed. Each flag has a history and story to tell. According to their website, “The Flags tell the story of a group’s struggle for identity and freedom. In the House of Flags, if we listen closely enough, we can hear the stories of these flags ringing loud and clear.” Having been to the House of Flags at the previous location and having the opportunity to take a tour I can assure you that statement rings true. Joe Epley shared the story of the Special Forces Regimental flag, which was recently donated

The story of the Special Forces Regimental Flag is just one of the many that you will hear at the House of Flags. This Friday at noon, thanks to the hard work of too many to be named here, we have the unique opportunity to learn first hand about the history, and meaning of our flags. What a great way to share in our country’s history and honor our Veterans.

Board will also read several scenes from “Eve’s Victory.” Readers will recognize Board as author of the critically acclaimed historical novel “The Bed She Was Born In,” which was published in 2006.

The Friends of the Polk County Public Library (PCPL) will host a program at the library in Columbus Nov. 17. The featured speaker will be writer Jeri Fitzgerald Board who will present “Night Witches: The Amazing Story of the Women Fighter Pilots of the Soviet Air Force.” While the story of these flyers is virtually unknown, Board discovered significant information about them when researching her new book “Eve’s Victory: A Novel of Women at War,” which is set in Europe and Russia during World War II. One of Board’s main characters is an 18 year-old Russian woman, Ireni Igorsky, who joins the Soviet Air Force in 1942 and becomes a pilot in the 588th night bomber regiment.
