Cardinals softball region champs again by Joey Millwood
To say the Landrum softball team has been dominant in Region II-1A may be an understatement. The Lady Cardinals have won six straight region champion-
ships. Since Tucker Hamrick took over the team four years
ago, Landrum has been 42-1 in region play. That dominance continued on Thursday night, April 19. The
Lady Cardinals beat Blacksburg 14-4 to earn their sixth consecutive region title. Landrum was sparked by (Continued on page 6)

Woods well’s water could be clear soon by Leah Justice
Discoloration of water in the Woods development could end soon as Columbus has gained state approval to move forward with a new feed system the town hopes will solve the problem. Columbus Town Council met
Thursday, April 19 and approved moving forward with construction of a sequestration project involving a new feed system that will place the polyphosphate chemical into the well. The problem has been ongoing for more than a year, and
the town agreed last August to perform the sequestration project in lieu of installing equipment to remove iron and manganese. If the sequestration process doesn’t work, the state will re(Continued on page 4)

quire the town to install iron and manganese removal equipment to further resolve the issue, but town manager Jonathan Kanipe and engineer Brian Tripp of W.K. Dickson said they feel certain the problem will be fixed following this procedure. The town gained state approval from the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) on April 9 for Columbus’ public works staff to conduct the work at the well. Tripp’s firm will have to certify that the work is complete and sufficient, and after engineer approval the well can go online. Tripp said he estimates the work should begin
soon and within weeks the water should show improvement. Town officials have said there were never water quality issues at the well, as several tests of the water have been conducted. The problem has been discolored water for some residents close to the well because of a build-up of iron in the system. Tripp said residents may find it takes some time to flush out their lines before the problem is totally alleviated. Kanipe said the town has kept residents updated on the project, with the last letters being sent around November/December 2011. He said the town will notify residents when construction is going to begin as well as when the installation is completed.

• LHS softball (continued from page 1)
senior pitcher Jordan Farmer just days after she was hit in the head with a softball against Chapman. In that game on Monday, April 16, Farmer and first baseman Meagan Painter were both charging home plate for a bunt that a Lady Panther had popped up. The ball hit Painter’s glove, bounced to the side and hit Farmer just above her right eye.
“I came out here a little nervous that the headaches [from an earlier game when a softball hit her in the head] would come back, but my team was behind me.” -- Jordan Farmer
The senior pitcher didn’t return in that game because of headaches and dizziness. Farmer did, however, return to the mound in Landrum’s most important game of the season April 19. Farmer pitched six innings, struck out eight batters, hit a homer and led the Lady Cardinals to the victory. “I came out here a little nervous that the headaches would come back, but my team was behind me,” Farmer said. That cohesiveness has been the continued theme for the Lady Cardinals (14-4, 11-0) this season. “This year we have really pulled together,” Farmer said. “That wins ballgames sometimes.” The Lady Wildcats (14-4-1, 10-2) struck first in the first inning. Lacie Mullinax drove in Brooke Hope in Blacksburg’s first two at bats. Abby Pruitt singled later in the inning to drive in
Mullinax. Landrum, however, answered in the bottom of the first. Lauren Pitts doubled and scored on a Farmer single. Bre Cuff followed with a single and Shelby Morris singled to drive in Cuff and Farmer. Blacksburg added a run in the fourth and fifth innings, but it was all Landrum from that point on. Landrum added two runs in the second inning, three runs in the fourth inning and six runs in the sixth inning. In the sixth, Farmer hit a leadoff homer. The senior ended the game 3-for-3 with three runs scored and two RBIs. Farmer’s homer was followed by a Cuff walk, a Sydnie Brown single and Taylor Jenkins being hit by a pitch. With the bases loaded, Skylar Henderson reached base on an error and advanced to second base. Two runs crossed the plate on the error. Savanna LaChica followed
“I think as long as we worry about us and not anyone else, we’ll do well [going forward]. -- Coach Tucker Hamrick
with a bases-clearing triple. Taylor Wahler drove in LaChica on a double to end the game. Dating back to the final two losses of the season last year, five of Landrum’s six losses have come from unearned runs. The only exception was April 16 when Farmer was knocked out of the game against Chapman, Hamrick said. That’s something on Landrum’s mind as the team moves forward. “I think as long as we worry about us and not anyone else, we’ll do well (going forward),” Hamrick said. “It’s about defense, defense, defense.”

WHERE WE WORK An in-depth look at an area business
PERSON FEATURED: Garland Rice BUSINESS: Inspector Rice Home Inspection Service WEBSITE: www.inspectorrice.com PHONE NUMBER: 828-859-9596 NATURE OF BUSINESS: Inspecting the general condition of houses for home buyers and sellers PRINCIPAL OWNER/MANAGER AND TITLE: Garland Rice, owner YEAR FOUNDED: 2006 HOW’S BUSINESS? I have been very pleased with the business overall. I had a very good 2011 and expect more work this year with the improving economy.
ONE THING I WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT THIS BUSINESS: One thing I wish more people knew about this business is that a home inspection can help prepare a home to sell. Many of my customers are people getting ready to sell their homes. A seller’s home inspection can eliminate obstacles to the selling process, helping the seller, the buyer and the realtor. Also, a home inspection can be a great check-up for an aging home that needs maintenance.
ADVICE TO YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS: Expect to work hard. Be punctual. Use impeccable manners. Limit your debt. Get out of debt rapidly. Force yourself to save and invest some of your income. Pick a supportive spouse. Have courage. MY FIRST JOB: Milking cows at a dairy and general farm work. YOUR ROLE MODEL (in business or in life generally): Will Rogers for his political satire and wit. THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS: Being a motivated learner, a motivated worker and finding a good accountant.

Marriage amendment vote matters
The consequences of your vote, for or against the marriage amendment, will have a real effect on your family’s, friends’ and neighbors’ lives. First, if the amendment does not pass, nothing changes. We will have the same laws that we have today with marriage limited to being between a man and a woman and other protections to unmarried couples, same sex couples, single parents and all of their children will remain in place. The state of N.C. does not currently recognize domestic partner-
ships. Individual jurisdictions are allowed to register domestic partnerships and employers in N.C. commonly use an “Affidavit of Domestic Partnership” to extend their benefits package to unmarried couples and their children. 89 percent of Fortune 500 companies prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation, including Bank of America, Lowe’s, Duke Energy, BB&T and Reynolds American (the five largest North Carolina-based public companies in that order). A domestic partnership does not ask the sex of the partners, so the same agreement protects both heterosexual couples and same sex couples. The marriage amendment states, “A marriage between one man and one woman is the only
domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state.” This means all unmarried partners and their children will suddenly lose all benefits, including their health insurance. This amendment also will take domestic violence protection away from women. N.C. has in place domestic violence laws that help protect N.C. women from violence in their homes. Legal experts in N.C. believe that the new definition of a “domestic legal union” will invalidate these laws for all women except those who are legally married to a man. This will leave many N.C. women without the legal protection that they need. If passed, Amendment 1 would have implications for single par-
ents of adopted children, or for divorced couples raising adopted children. With the language used, children adopted who are not within a heterosexual marriage would be ineligible for any state benefits or assistance. There are many more possible consequences of this amendment, if passed. Of course, we won’t know for certain what all of them will be until we get through the court system, as we will face years of fighting over what this amendment means and who it hurts. The other side of this is who does it help? I believe most North Carolinians will vote against the amendment, once they understand the consequences. ~ Mary Hardvall, Tryon

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper
‘Knock Knock’ - Adrenalin rush, a.k.a. opening night Editor’s note: Elvin Clark, one of the actors in Tryon Little Theater’s production of “Knock, Knock,” has been writing a blog about the experience. The Bulletin has recently published some of his posts to give insight into the process of creating a community theater production. “Knock, Knock” continues April 26-29 at the Tryon Little Theater’s Workshop. Never worked so hard, had so much fun or was left so exhausted as at last night’s opening performance of “Knock Knock.” I can’t begin to say how much fun it was. The audience started laughing immediately and kept it up throughout. Even our first special effect got a huge response and we had to wait for the applause to subside. Chris Bartol really revved them up. He was absolutely hysterical – even more than usual. It was all I could do not to laugh at him and I was doing the scene with him. Bravo. Nancy’s first dramatic entrance (I’ll give nothing away) kicked things into another gear. Just when the audience thinks
they’re getting a handle on the show, it takes a sharp left turn. She was fantastic. Lavin and I had so much fun. I spend a good deal of time yelling at and getting yelled at by my neighbor. The more we do it, the more intense it is and the funnier it is, even to us – in addition to its obvious cathartic benefits. Kudos, neighbor. Josh, Lorin and Becky were terrific playing their myriad of roles. Lorin, sorry about the gun. It’s a rush, folks, no denying it, with deeply addictive properties. There is nothing in the world like that kind of adrenalin high. It was one of those audiences that you’d like to bottle and perform for every night. Just wipe their memories each day, give them a few glasses of wine and point them back to their seats. Thank you, the opening night audience of “Knock Knock” at the Tryon Little Theater Workshop on April 19, 2012 for that two-hour moment of time we shared that will never happen exactly as it did that night ever again. That is the essence of live theatre.
Polk celebrates public health month The public health department is present everywhere, every day and in everybody’s life. Many residents of Polk County may not even be aware of this silent force in their lives. Public health ensures that food served in restaurants is safe to eat and water is clean, makes sure children are vaccinated against dangerous diseases and generally contributes to the quality of life in the county, officials say. The Rutherford-Polk-McDowell (RPM) District Health Department is observing North Carolina Public Health Month in April. “Public health is a quiet miracle, silently ensuring that our most basic and critical life needs are met,” Mary Smith, health educator for the RPM health district, said.
“But because public health generally works to prevent problems, it often goes unnoticed. If people could imagine how chaotic and unsafe things would be without public health, they would appreciate the important role it plays in their daily lives.” The RPM District Health Department staff serves the public health needs of Polk County residents by providing clinical, environmental and health education programs. To schedule a formal presentation about public health services or other health-related topics for your civic or social group, call Mary Smith, health educator, at 828-925-0140. – article submitted by Mary Smith

Sexual Assault Awareness Month: gender norms Editor’s note: In observance of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Steps to HOPE has submitted Tuesday, december 13, 2011 several articles on related topics during April. The following is the third of these articles. Gender norms are a set of “rules” or ideas about how each gender should behave, determined by a culture or society rather than biology. For example, women are not necessarily better than men at doing housework but often are expected to perform those tasks. Gender norms can be very different from one culture to another. What may be acceptable behavior for a male in one culture may be unacceptable in another. Gender norms impact sexuality. How could healthier, less restrictive gender norms create healthier sexual interactions?
