heavy rains because of an overflow issue with the town’s sewer line in that area. The town has applied for a grant to fix the problem, but was initially denied. The town has reapplied and hopes to receive more than $600,000 to permanently fix the problem.

Whitmire said the town put in a backflow valve so the water wouldn’t come in her house, but it didn’t work when the area received more than 4 inches of rain on Sunday.

“I don’t even go out in the yard,” Whitmire said. “The yard is just full. It’s not healthy and I’ve been complaining and complaining. I’m the one that’s getting that backflow from White Oak and everyone. I’m the one sitting up (at night) cleaning it out of the bathtub. What would you do in my position?”

“I’d be here complaining like you,” Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples told Whitmire.

Council was sympathetic to Whitmire and suggested having the town clean up Whitmire’s property every time backflow occurs while the town waits on the grant.

Commissioner George Baker said the town has been working hard on the solution and he realizes

Whitmire hasn’t seen any results but said she will.

Council asked public works director Joel Burrell to meet with Whitmire to clean up her yard to alleviate the smell. The town is also going to test Whitmire’s backflow valve to avoid overflow in her house in the future.

Baker said if Whitmire needs three backflow valves to stop it from coming into her house then the town needs to install three of them.

Tryon has done studies in the area and fixed one issue that Whitmire said has helped some. Whitmire said after the inflow and infiltration study the problem occurred less often but it did happen again a few months ago.

Tryon has been fined by the state for sewage spills along East Howard Street several times over the past few years. In 2009, the town received $7,000 in fines for overflows.

Council has said the town simply can’t afford a $600,000 fix without help from a grant. Town officials met with the state last month regarding the possible Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). The grant would allow the town to completely replace the trunk line that runs along East Howard Street to its sewer plan from the current 16-inch line to a 24-inch line.

Abril’s case continued in Henderson County court

by Leah Justice

Chris Abril appeared in Henderson County Court last Friday, May 11 on charges of financial card fraud and identity theft. His Wednesday case was continued until June 1.

10:00 A.M. Bible Study & Prayer The former Polk County SherJeffrey C. Harris, pastor Dr. Bill Rev. Henderson, Pastor in the Interim iff told Judge Mack Brittain that he’s not guilty of stealing his former sister-in-law’s debit card and Please place picture of church over the X. 2x2 that he had power of attorney over her to handle her financial affairs.

12/4 F tfn Abril also faces charges in TBAP-033564 Polk County for the same incident after his ex-sister-in-law pressed charges, alleging Abril used her debit card for purchases such as getting fuel and purchasing lumber at Lowe’s.

Judge Brittain told Abril last week he faces TRYONBAPTIST - page 31 a maximum of 24 months in prison if convicted.

Brittain requested Abril’s case be continued to a day when he is not presiding because he worked closely with Abril in the past.

Abril was charged on May 5 in Polk and Henderson counties X

TBAP-033564

for the alleged debit card fraud.

He was charged in Polk County with possession of stolen goods, identity theft, unlawfully obtaining a credit card and obtaining property by false pretenses, all felonies. Abril may also face charges in Buncombe County for using the card there.

Abril told the Bulletin last week that he was asked by his ex-sister-in-law to have power of attorney over her affairs and she also signed the deed of her house over to him. He said he immediately transferred the deed of her house to one of his sons.

Abril also said he did not unlawfully obtain the debit card that she gave it to him as well as her password. Abril said after returning from a trip to Florida to see family, he couldn’t find his ex-sister-in-law, who owed him money, so he used her card.

Abril is scheduled to appear in Polk County District Court on June 6.

Polk school board to switch companies for student insurance

by Samantha Hurst

Parents with students attending Polk County schools next year can expect a higher level of insurance coverage through the school system.

Polk County Board of Education members voted at their May meeting to switch their coverage to a gold level with The Young Group. “With so many families out of work and so many people that have probably lost coverage, we felt it was important to offer students the best coverage we could, especially if we could still save money in the long run,� Superintendent Bill Miller said.

Miller said the board could have saved as much as $8,500

for the exact same coverage they already had, but voted to increase the coverage for students and still save money.

The new company said it could save the system $3,000 but increase the coverage from what Polk currently receives through American Advantage.

The system worked with The Young Group about five years ago.

This new insurance covers intensive care, emergency room visits and even X-rays (up to $300) at 100 percent, versus 80 percent with the previous coverage. Miller said coverage would also be better for accidents on the playground, for example.

The change will take effect July 1.

A student work on art projects during a previous Summer Sizzler art camp at Tryon Arts and Crafts School. (source: www.tryonartsandcrafts. org)

TACS offers Summer Sizzler art camp Tryon Arts and Crafts School will once again offer a one-of-akind summer camp experience in the arts. Each week professional artists will introduce the students to at least eight different arts and crafts.

Organizers said students will have the opportunity to discover hidden talents, learn about many art forms and experience the joy of creating works of art to share with family and friends. The children will have the opportunity to work with professional grade tools in a well-equipped studio as they complete their projects.

This year’s classes include: pottery, fused glass, weaving, pastel painting, woodworking, jewelry making, storytelling, silk painting, basketry, tie dye, mask making, glass mosaics, felting, paper making and pen and ink watercolor. At least eight of these

topics will be presented during each of the five weeks of camp.

Camp dates are: July 9-13, July 16-20, July 23-27, July 30Aug. 3 and Aug. 6-10.

Classes run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a lunch break. Students should bring a lunch, a snack and a drink and are encouraged to wear clothing that they don’t have to worry about so that creativity can flow unhindered.

Each week will conclude with a show of student work on Friday afternoon. Doors will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for student drop off and pick up.

Summer Sizzler is designed for students 10 and older. Advanced registration is required.

Class size is limited. Call Tryon Arts & Crafts School at 828859-8323 to register or for more information.

A lesson on a perfectly normal part of life from mom Mother’s Day brought all the siblings up to see my mother and she enjoyed a whirlwind of a weekend, indulging in a big, family, dinner at my sister, Katy’s, house and being taken out for the obligatory brunch on Sunday.

Delivered safely back home later that afternoon, Mom was met at the door by the 12-year-old object of her favorite topic of conversation, her beloved cat, Chloe, who meowed and wound around her legs. Immediately, Chloe was enveloped in my mother’s arms, kissed and made much of and then released to encircle her legs once more. Sinking down on the sofa in her sunroom, both my sister and mother overheard Chloe began to yowl and, to their horror, watched as the cat collapsed before them and died.

Just like that.

Katy telephoned to relay the sad news and asked if she could bring Chloe to us for burial,

which she did. Paul, having bur- her before Katy removed Chloe ied two of our dear cats just this and brought her to the farm.

“Well, that’s true.” she mused, then added, “And if you need a home for any of your cats....”

It all just seemed so matter-offact to me. Having wept copious tears as Paul and I buried both Barney and Vicky this past month and felt the disconcertion of the empty place on the sofa where Barney normally plastered against my leg and Vicky cuddled onto Paul’s chest. I cannot imagine, in what feels like an eyeblink, to realize their loss and not mourn and then consider a replacement so soon.

But Paul said it best.

“I think at your mother’s age,” he began, “she’s so used to loss that it no longer stings. She’s outlived 99 percent of all her friends and looks at it as just a part of life.

A perfectly normal part of life.”

Which of course it is.

As well as being yet another lesson I’ve learned from my mom.

Carter to speak at Unitarian Universalist service May 20 “While I was standing in a checkout line in the local Ingles one Sunday morning to get coffee for my wife, a woman in line noticed my Union Theological Seminary sweatshirt. She then proceeded to grill me about my relationship with Jesus to make sure it was the same relationship as hers,” said Rev. Michael J. S. Carter, who will be the speaker at the Unitarian Universalist (UU) Fellowship service on Sunday, May 20. “After a brief but tense exchange, I left the store thinking about the many interpretations our culture and community have about this man. This sermon is a result of that conversation in the supermarket. The title is taken from a question Jesus posed to his disciples on his way to Jerusalem and his impending death.”

Carter is originally from Baltimore, Md. He moved to New York City in 1980 and lived there for 25 years, working as a professional actor before moving to Asheville, N.C. with his family to serve as a staff chaplain at Mission Hospital. Carter is an ordained Interfaith minister and received his B.A. degree in letters from the College of New Rochelle where he graduated cum laude. He received his master in divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York City (class of 2000). He has served as a staff chaplain (board certified) at Lenox Hill Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital, Beth Israel Cancer Center, Methodist Hospital and New York Hospital Queens while residing in New York City.

Carter has just completed a year’s work as the minister for the Black Mountain UU Fellowship, serving that congregation on the second Sunday of every month for a year. While serving various Unitarian Universalist Congregations in New York, Carter was trained as an anti-racism trainer and has been recognized by President Clinton for his efforts.

Rev. Michael J.S. Carter

He was also a weekly columnist for the Asheville Citizen Times.

Carter currently serves as the Diversity Officer for Mission Health. He has served as a diversity consultant for The Grove Park Inn, Asheville City School Foundation, The Eaton Corporation, Four Seasons Hospice (where he currently sits on the board), The Employee Assistance Network and The Asheville Buncombe Institute for Parody Achievement (ABIPA).

Carter’s book, “Alien Scriptures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible,” is available at www. amazon.com. The book explores the possibility that extraterrestrial life may have influenced the Judeo/Christian scriptures and what that would mean for the monotheistic religions of our planet.

This was Carter’s master’s thesis at Union. Carter has appeared on the History Channel’s “Ancient Aliens” to discuss his ancient astronaut theory. He and his wife, Judy Long, a Unitarian Universalist minister, are both members of the UU Fellowship of Hendersonville. They reside in Arden, N.C. with their 4-year-old daughter, Kevyn.

American Cancer Institute recommends a healthy dose of strawberries A few weeks ago, we learned about my favorite fruit, watermelon. This week I’d like to share some information on another one of my favorites… strawberries.

The strawberry belongs to the genus “Fragraria” in the rose family, along with raspberries, apples, and plums, and is the first fruit to ripen in Spring.

Strawberries aren’t actually true berries like blueberries and cranberries, because they carry their seeds on the outside (about 200 seeds per berry).

There are more than 600 varieties of strawberries, and some can be white or yellow in color, and some can even taste like pineapple.

The word strawberry comes from the Old English words “streoberie” or “streawbelige.”

No one is really sure how they got their name though. Some believe that the word straw

came from the straw used to delivered to stores across the cover the plants, while others country via refrigerated trucks.

Each year roughly 27,000 kibelieve they were named in the nineteenth-century by English los of strawberries (by the way, children who picked the fruit, that’s more than 59,000 pounds) strung them on grass straws and are eaten during the Wimbledon sold them as “straws of berries.” Tennis Championships together Eighty-three percent of all with 7,000 liters of cream.

Now let’s explore some strawberries produced in the health benefits U.S. come derived from from CaliforDiet & Exercise wondernia (approxiby David Crocker this ful fruit.

Strawberries are so delicate loaded with vitamin C too. Just that they must be picked by eight berries have more vitamin hand, and picked every three C than an orange. That’s 140 days. That’s the time needed percent of our daily value.

Eating strawberries is also for the berries to complete their cycle of turning from green to recommended by the American Cancer Institute as part of their white to red.

They can’t be stored either, 5-a-day program to reduce so after picking, they’re rushed the risk for cancer and heart to coolers where huge fans ex- disease. Strawberries contain tract heat, then the berries are “ellagic acid,” which can help

fight cancers. Ellagic acid is a natural phenol antioxidant found in several fruits and vegetables like blackberries, raspberries, pecans, walnuts, cranberries, grapes, pomegranates and strawberries, among other foods.

What research shows is ellagic acid prevents cancer cells from replicating and allows them to go through normal apoptosis (cell death), without harming healthy cells. Ellagic acid also shows promise in helping control high blood pressure.

Also, flavonoids which form part of the strawberry’s color help reduce artery clogging cholesterol. Strawberries are great for those trying to watch their weight too, because they’re fat free and one cup only contains 55 calories. Strawberries can help whiten teeth too, because of the acids they contain.

They can even help reduce inflammation of sunburn. Just combine strawberry juice with a little honey and rub the mixture thoroughly into the skin before rinsing off with warm water and lemon juice.

So enjoy loads of fresh strawberries all summer. The peak season is between April and October. Careful in your handling of the berries though.

Capping, injuring, cutting or juicing will reduce a strawberry’s nutrient content.

Harriman offers water fitness classes at Gibson Park Pool June 4 The Polk County Recreation Department has announced the addition of Sarah Utz Harriman to the Gibson Park Pool staff this summer. Sarah will teach water fitness classes beginning the week of June 4.

Harriman’s passion for fitness started at a young age and continued into college. As a Polk County High School student, she swam and ran crosscountry, which she continued at Wingate University. She graduated with a bachelor of science in biology and earned a master’s of science in exercise physiology from UNC-Greensboro.

Her graduate work included several community outreach programs, which she said supports her philosophy that daily activity can help improve every life. While safety is her primary concern, she said she tries to create a fun environment and encourages participants to challenge and surprise themselves while getting and staying fit.

Harriman said water fitness is an ideal mode of exercise for all ages and abilities. Older adults, athletes, mind-body

enthusiasts, people undergoing prehab or rehab and those just desiring a different type of workout program will enjoy the freedom and fun in the water, she said. The water acts as a support for the body to allow a workout without added stress on the joints.

The class will focus on strengthening, cardiovascular and flexibility exercises, all of which can be modified for the beginner or advanced participant.

To register, stop by Stearns Gym, visit www.polknc.org or come to the pool open house on June 2 from 4-6 p.m.

Landrum Cardinals’ men’s track finishes fourth at state

by Joey Millwood

A year after everything fell right and the Landrum boys’ track team won the state championship, the Cardinals walked away a little disappointed on Saturday, May 12.

The Cardinals unsuccessfully defended their state championship at the South Carolina High School League 1A State Championship at Spring Valley High School.

Whale Branch won the event with 79 points. The Cardinals finished fourth with 40.5.

While the Cardinals fell short in some events they thought they’d be stronger in, there’s one Cardinal who left it all on the field.

Landrum’s Peyton McCarter found himself in a pole vault war. The junior pole vaulter hit a personal record May 12, but fell short on a tie break. He vaulted a 12-06, but finished second because of one scratch.

“I felt like I had a good day,” McCarter said. “I’m just going to work harder for next

Landrum’s Chasten Thomas, meanwhile, finished fifth

in discus and Cole McDowell finished fifth in the triple jump.

“It wasn’t as good of a day

as it could’ve been,” said Head Coach Russell Mahaffey. “I’m real proud of my athletes.”

Wolverine soccer came out on bottom Wednesday, May 16 in what they had expected to be a tough match against South Iredell to advance in the 2A soccer state playoffs.

Polk County lost 3-1 to the

Lady Vikings.

“After the fact, you always look back and realize what you could have done differently,” said PCHS Coach Lennox Charles. “I think we went in a little too intimidated and gave them a little too much respect when we started.”

Charles and his Lady Wolverines faced exactly what they were afraid of going into the game – an early South Iredell score.

The Viking’s Ashlynn Pierce sailed in the team’s first goal within the first three minutes of play.

“We came out on our heels and

couldn’t keep it out.”

Ellese Cash, however, worked to keep Polk in the game answering in around the 15th minute (Continued on page 33)

We were dangerous, but we just couldn’t quite get that goal.”

Hamby did her best to keep the Vikings out of the net defensively with a total seven saves.

“We definitely improved and we definitely finished the season playing well,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll have enough girls coming back with the experience of playing these games to make it one more round and get further in the finals.”

Seven seniors will graduate this year, but Charles said that leaves about 12 to push further next year.

with a goal of her own, Charles said. Polk held South Iredell 1-1 at halftime but Cash’s goal would be the only score for the Wolverines.

The Vikings went on to grab two more goals - one two minutes in the second half and a third about five minutes later.

Charles said the Wolverines worked really hard and started regrouping. He said Polk had a couple of chances with the Vikings’ keeper making one really good save off Cash near the end.

“The last 20 minutes of the game I really felt we played the better game,” Charles said. “Realistically, we really could have

The Foothills Humane Society recently held its Animal Fair fundraiser at Maude Carr’s Hidden Hollow Farm. (photo submitted by Bertie Phayer)

FHS held Animal Fair May 6 The Foothills Humane Society’s annual Animal Fair garden party was held Sunday, May 6 at Maude Carr’s Hidden Hollow Farm. The brain-child of Betsy and Dee Miner, the event, now 10 years old, attracted 170 guests, who relaxed poolside under the tents and enjoyed a buffet lunch after visiting the animal exhibits.

The theme this year was “Rescues and Happy Endings” and featured rescued animals from the shelter in their forever homes.

“Even the weather cooperated,” said Emily Clark, board chair for FHS. “We appreciate our hardworking volunteers, contributors and supporters who made this event another huge success. I especially want to thank the Friends of the Fair for donating goods and services again this year: Costco, Tryon IGA, Four Winds Florist, McKinsey Printing, Renee DuVall Catering and Blue Ridge Wine and Spirits. Event Rentals of Spartanburg was a new sponsor this year.”

Honored animal guests were LL Cool Chang, a Pekinese who was found as a stray, blind and starving, and brought to the shelter to die. He was taken home as a hospice foster, but with loving care, and the company of six rescued Greyhounds, he bounced back to life.

River, a rescued wolf dog, lives at the Full Moon Wolf Dog

Sanctuary and earns his keep by visiting schools and fairs to show what good citizens wolves can be.

Kat, a former race horse, despite winning more than half a million dollars in purses, ended up starving here in Polk County. She was rescued by the Foothills Equine Rescue Association program of the Humane Society, nursed back to health and is living out her years happily munching grass.

The Animal Fair also featured the second North Carolina Mounted Infantry re-enactors, who set up their encampment and donned their uniforms to help commemorate the 150th anniversary of the War Between the States. Six soldiers and officers and four horses put on the show. Two of the horses were rescues who now are happily doing their new jobs.

An unusual guest was the African tortoise that was bought at a pet store as an exotic, but the unsuspecting owner was not told these animals grow to 250 pounds and live to be 150 years old. When the owner tired of it, and a dog injured it, the tortoise was rescued.

It is hoped that its broken clavicle can be repaired or a little wheel can be affixed to the shell to enable it to get around when it is bigger.

Saluda Arts Festival to bring 80 artists/craftpeople May 19 “We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.” ~ Mother Teresa With sweet mountain breezes and sunshine, one morning I pulled the push mower out, fueled it up and got ‘er going. Last month, I’d taken the thing apart in desperation: cleaned the spark plug connection, put in new gas and oil, and managed to put the various assortment of pieces I’d taken off back in the right place. (almost as bad as a Rubik’s cube!)

Believe it or not, the mower roared to life! Off we rolled to various garden areas: the Secret Garden, the Japanese Maple/Fish Pond garden, the Pooh Garden, the Chinese-Demon Garden (that one is the result of a white wisteria that became a demon unleashed, never to be contained again. A reminder that you have to keep some things restricted in a pot for its entire life,

or else you pay the price of freeing top-notch music. Thank you too, it!) By the time the mower and I to the volunteers who work ceasewere finished, it was out of gas lessly all year round on this festival.

Studies have shown that patients who help their doctors by providing important health information and preparing themselves for appointments tend to get better care than patients who don’t. Here are some simple things we can all do to help maximize our next visit to the doctor.

Before your appointment Gathering your health information and getting organized before your appointment are the key steps to ensuring a productive meeting with your doctor. This is especially important if you’re seeing multiple doctors or are meeting with a new physician for the first time. Specifically, you need to: Get your test results: Make sure the doctor you’re seeing has copies of your latest X-ray, MRI or any other test or lab results, including reports from other doctors that you’ve seen. In most cases, you’ll need to do the leg work yourself, which may only require a phone call to your previous doctor asking them to send it, or you may need to go pick it up and take it yourself.

List your medications: Make a 864-457-2122 list of all the medications you’re taking (prescription drugs, over1x1 the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals and10/14,16 herbal supplements) along with the dosages and take it with you to your appointment. Or, just gather up all you pill bottles and put them in a bag and bring them with you.

Gather your health history: Your doctor also needs to know about any previous hospitalizations, as well as any current or past medical problems, even if they are not the reason you are going to the doctor this time. Genetics matter too, so having your family’s health history can be helpful. The U.S. Surgeon General offers a free web-based tool called “My Family Health Portrait” (see familyhistory. hhs.gov) that can help you put one together.

Prepare a list of questions: Make a written list of the top three or four issues you want to discuss with your doctor. Since most appointments last between 10 and 15 minutes, this can help you stay on track and ensure you address your most pressing concerns first.

If you’re in for a diagnostic visit, you should prepare a detailed description of your symptoms.

During your appointment The best advice when you meet with your doctor is to speak up.

Don’t wait to be asked. Be direct,

honest and as specific as possible Drywall Repair when recounting your symptoms Any Exterior Repair or expressing your concerns.

If you don’t understand what the doctor is telling you, ask him or her to explain it in simple terms so you can understand. And if you run out of time and don’t get your questions answered, ask if you can follow up by phone or email, make another appointment, or seek help from the doctor’s nurse.
