$13,500 to sponsor the games.

Johnson said the event is being planned for September 2013 and would take place every year and bring hundreds of people to the area.

Johnson said John Grace, the event organizer, has put on several events, including the annual Green River Narrows race for kayakers.

“John Grace has put on several events and feels Polk County is an excellent place for this,” Johnson said. “We think it will benefit the whole county but the primary center of this is Saluda.”

She said Grace plans to take the idea of the Green River Narrows Race, held every November, and make it more formalized and add trail races, bike and paddleboard races.

“It will bring in a huge number of tourists to Polk County,” Johnson said.

Commissioners said they are on board with the games, but want to speak with Grace and asked that he make a presentation at the county’s Sept.

10 meeting before approving the sponsorship.

Green River Adventure owner Sara Bell also mentioned the Narrows race, which she said is packed with visitors. Grace was also instrumental in the Teva Mountain Games in Colorado, which is really successful and the most well known outdoor extreme sports event in the country, Bell said. Bell said the Teva Mountain Games event contributes $4 million to the area in the months surrounding the event.

“What we have to offer, it’s an amazing opportunity,” said Bell, who added she was speaking only as a Saluda business owner.

She added that such an event could bring many young, active visitors to Polk County who could potentially become residents.

Commissioner chair Ray Gasperson said it is with high certainty that the county will approve the funding on Sept.

10 after hearing from Grace.

“I think sometimes we don’t realize what a phenomenal resource we have in this county,” said Gasperson. “(The Green River is) considered one of the top whitewater rivers in the country.”

Bicyclist injured at Lake Lanier

by Leah Justice

The Tryon Fire Department and Greenville County Emergency Medical Services (EMS) were dispatched at 1:17 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 30 to a reported bicycle accident in the 1000 block of East Lakeshore Drive at Lake Lanier.

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis said upon arrival, emergency responders found a male patient who had wrecked while riding his bicycle. No vehicles were involved.

Davis said the patient had a few lacerations and had struck his head but was wearing a helmet,

which absorbed the impact.

A helicopter was dispatched to land at the former Family Dollar parking lot, but after evaluation the airlift was canceled, according to information heard on the scanner from Polk County dispatch.

Davis said the patient was evaluated by Tryon and Greenville County EMS and transported by Landrum Rescue to St. Luke’s Hospital with non-lifethreatening injuries.

The Landrum Fire Department also responded to assist with the accident.

‘Oldest Living Confederate Widow: Her Confession’ on stage Sept. 29 Dedicated to Temp Holding

by Jeff Byrd

Two boys, 13 years old, walk off to war together in 1862, hand in hand. Only one, Willie Marsden, comes back. Throughout his long life, Will Marsden’s imagination remains captured and arrested by the wartime trauma of his early youth.

The story of traumatized youth is one of the central themes of Allan Gurganus’ 1989 novel “Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All.” Jane Holding of Chapel Hill, N.C. and the author are bringing their play based on the awardwinning novel to the Tryon Fine Arts Center on Sept. 29. It will

be the 25th or so performance of the one-woman play, which has been seen across the Carolinas.

Holding will dedicate the performance, a benefit for CooperRiis Healing Community in Mill Spring, to her sister, Tempie Ann Bell Holding.

‘Temp’ Holding’s imagination was also captured young, by mental illness.

Tempie Ann Holding lived for some years in the Tryon community until her death last February at the age of 57.

“Temp was a friendly sight around Tryon,” Holding said in an interview this week. “A lot of people knew her.”

She came to Polk County in 2003, finally rescued from herself by her sister and brothers. They brought her to Mill

Spring and CooperRiis, where she lived for several years before moving to LaurelHurst in Columbus.

Temp’s story is the stuff of novels.

In Gurganus’ novel, the oldest living Confederate widow, Lucille Marsden, remembers her husband’s lost friend, “an overly excellent,” “high spirited,” “angel-faced” boy shot by a sniper while cooling off in a Virginia pond.

“War,” the widow says, “looks over all the soldiers’ pictures in advance. It takes the very best.”

“My sister’s illness took the classic form,” Jane Holding said. “Like in the book (Continued on page 16)

Temp Holding, shown here at 16, died in February 2012 at the age of 57. Her sister, Jane Holding, said mental illness kept Temp emotionally at age 16 throughout her life. Jane will perform a onewoman play based on the awardwinning novel “Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All,” by Allan Gurganus, on Sept. 29 at the Tryon Fine Arts Center.

A. A "family foundation" is what the tax law refers to as a "private foundation".

The usual planning technique is to have a CRT pay its funds into a family foundation created in the trust maker's will or trust.

The children of the trust maker are usually on the foundation board of trustees, and their job is to decide which charities are to receive the income donations each year in accordance with the instructions left by the

ing in olive or canola oil. Some researchers found that turmeric encouraged cancer cell death, inhibited tumor growth, and even enhanced the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Curry mixes contain only 20 percent turmeric, so it’s best to obtain pure turmeric powder from a spice store. I recommend mixing a teaspoon (a tablespoon if you already have cancer) of turmeric with black pepper and olive or canola oils to use in soups or salad dressings. If this mixture is too bitter, add a few drops of honey.

3) Green tea. Green teas are rich in chemical substances called polyphenols. These include compounds called catechins and particularly “EGCG.” EGCG stands for “Epigallocatechin gallate.” This catechin is a powerful antioxidant and detoxifier. It also reduces the blood vessels that “feed” tumors.

Friday, August 31, 2012

Studies done in the laboratory have even shown it to increase the effect of radiation on cancer cells. I recommend letting green tea steep for at least 10 minutes after brewing to release its “catechins,” then sip two to four cups daily.

4) Fatty fish. Fish like salmon, trout, anchovies, herring, mackerel, tuna and sardines contain anti-inflammatory long chain omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids can help slow cancer cell growth in a large number of tumors, like tumors of the lungs, breasts, colon, prostate and kidneys. Omega- 3 fatty acids can also be obtained from high-quality purified fish oil supplements.

I recommend having fatty fish two to three times a week.

Choose smaller fish like sardines, small mackerel or anchovies if possible, because smaller fish have less mercury and other

Canned sardines are ok if packed in olive oil, instead of sunflower oil, which has too much of proinflammatory omega-6 fats.

Also, try to use fresh fish, rather than frozen, because omega-3 content degrades over time.

5) Berries. Berries contain a larger number of “polyphenols,” which can inhibit tumor growth.

Two polyphenols, anthocyanidin and proanthocyanidin, have been shown by some research-

ers to promote cancer cell death.

I recommend darker berries like blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and cranberries.

Local surgeon attends nutrition and health conference General surgeon Jim Holleman, MD, recently attended the premier nutrition conference for health professionals in the U.S. Sponsored by the Arizona Health Sciences Center at the University of Arizona and presented by the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, the Ninth Annual Nutrition and Health Conference gathered internationally recognized researchers, clinicians, educators and chefs whose work focuses on the interface between nutrition and healthful living.

The conference provided information on issues of food and nutrition in clinical practices, including the latest research findings, recommendations for clinical care and discussions of public policy.

Nutrition is an important part of the treatment for five of the top 10 most common diseases in the United States, yet health care professionals typically receive

limited nutrition education, Holleman said.

According to Holleman, “Medical education does not keep pace with advances in nutrition science and therapeutic innovations. So this was an excellent continuing education program on the latest findings on diet and health. With this information, I can better advise my patients on how to use dietary change as a treatment strategy in disease managing.”

Holleman said although there is increased awareness of nutrition-related issues, today’s culture is increasingly inundated by nutritional perversions – noxious food chains, excessive sugar use and sedentary tendencies – all of which contribute to skyrocketing rates of heart disease and obesity.

“These are problems that can be treated, and it’s important to be educated on new diet and nutrition research that could

preclude the epidemic,” said Dr. Holleman. “The mission of the conference was to provide a collection of international health professionals the information and strategies to effectively implement nutrition in their practices and use it as co-therapy for the treatment and manage-

ment of various conditions.”

Holleman is a general surgeon with St. Luke’s Surgical Associates, located at 44 Hospital Drive, Suite 1A in Columbus.

He can be reached by calling 828-894-3300.

A ship must keep sailing rather than return to port defeated “Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted-a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.” ~ Harold Kushner Last Saturday’s soft dawn brought tendrils of mist drifting over trees, then sunshine breaking through. Gathering a water bottle and notebook, I headed off on an adventure to Walnut Creek Preserve, up past Lake Adger near Sunnyview. PAC (Pacolet Area Conservancy) had Dr. Zack Murrell as speaker about plants, genes and memes: which sounded interesting for a Saturday morning. A pleasant meandering drive, mountains rising up all around: I passed Morning Glory Farm, peaceful cows grazing, rusting farm equipment, rustic spots, blue

skies stretching peacefully over the lecture room. Sometimes a ship must keep sailing rather than green hills.

Stony Knoll Community Library to celebrate 75 years The Stony Knoll Community Library in Mill Spring will celebrate 75 years of service to the community and county on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 15-16.

On Saturday, Sept. 15, an open house at the library complex will be held from 2-4 p.m. On Sunday, Sept. 16, a service of celebration will be held at 4 p.m. at Stony Knoll CME Church in Mill Spring. A reception will be held immediately following the service at the Stony Knoll Community Center.

Founded by Della Jackson on Aug. 24, 1937, Stony Knoll Community Library is unique in that it is the first and only institution built by AfricanAmericans for African-Americans in North Carolina in the 1930s. Jackson’s major goals were to promote literacy and to encourage a better way of life.

The library was an outgrowth

of an adult class funded by the WPA in 1937. Classes were held in a room rented (for 50 cents weekly) in the home of

Rev. J.D. Jones, the pastor of Stony Knoll CME Church.

The students, who were eager to learn, wanted to share their

books with others. As books and magazines were donated, they (Continued on page 25)

B13 Friday, August 31, 2012

• Stony Knoll (continued from page 24)

shared to start libraries in the six black schools in the county.

These books supplemented the worn and outdated textbooks available to black students at the time.

Meanwhile, nickles, dimes and dollars were collected to purchase acreage for a building.

When it became known what the organizers were trying to do, a white benefactor, Russell Walcott, helped to purchase the land. After that, the community held hot dog sales, “singings” and recycled many items (before recycling became popular).

Old clothing went to Greenville, S.C.; metal newspaper and corrugated boxes to Spartanburg, S.C.; glass bottles to Asheville, N.C. and tin and aluminum cans to Dana, N.C. Finally, the community was ready to build the library, a modest room constructed of

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

hand-molded faced cement blocks. A machine that made rock-faced cement blocks one at a time was rented from Isaac J. Mills. Robert Tryphonia Hayden and Jesse Lynch made the blocks, which were then laid in the sun to dry.

Clarence Thompson and a nephew, James Hayden, laid the blocks, although Thompson was a carpenter, not a brick mason.

Robert King blow-torched the inside, which added a decorative touch to the interior.

Now used mainly for reference work and as a museum, the library served its purpose in its day. Many lives were touched by the exchange of books, magazines and toys. In addition, under the umbrella of the library, supporters built a community center (1960), created the Mason Merrill Conference Room (1986) in honor of a major benefactor who donated money and his personal library, and started a black heritage

museum.

Stony Knoll Community Library operated a daycare for 30 children for 10 years (the first daycare funded by the county government). The library also participated in various county and state programs – Adopt A Highway, Western North Carolina Community Development Program (for 25 years), roadside beautification projects, Keep North Carolina Green and the Piedmont Interstate Fair.

The library also developed a recreation program, held summer camps, had a prize-winning 4-H club and held anti-litter cleanups twice yearly. In addition, the library also hosted church affairs, dinners, meetings, reunions, private parties and Bible camps.

Further, the library has provided work for many high school students under various county or state-funded jobs. It has been and is now a work site for community service. The li-

brary had three summer interns, supported by the Polk County Community Foundation.

Today, Stony Knoll supporters are exploring ways to continue to be a vital influence in the community and elsewhere.

In addition to church functions, regular meetings, community dinners and lectures, the library is concentrating more on the area’s young adults and older citizens. Organizers are planning seminars or workshops on health and wellness and family finances.

Further, the library has planned a renovation program for the center and new functions for the library. The process of revitalizing, restructuring, renovating and rethinking is the organization’s goal for this year.

The library receives no government money and operates on donations. Donations of time, talent and money are welcome.

Polk Wolverines face R-S Central for 10th time tonight

by Fulton Hampton

The Wolverines go to R-S Central tonight, Friday, Aug. 31, hoping to extend their winning streak to 3-0 and maintain bragging rights in the area.

R-S has its home opener in another blue and white battle but is hoping to turn its momentum around after starting off 0-2 this season.

Coach Bruce Ollis said “(It’s) always a big rivalry game; there are a lot of folks in Polk County that work in Rutherford County and vice versa. It’s a game that kind of gives you bragging rights. That motivates our players, community and coaches. It’s a big deal and we are looking forward to it. We’ve had a good week of practice.”

When asked about their record against R-S Coach Ollis, said, “We’ve been on the good side of the ledger – we are 8-1 – this will be the 10th time we have played them. (However,) there have been some overtime games, some games we have won in the last minute….

There has been a lot of excitement.”

In terms of challenges for the team, Ollis commented, “I think keeping our focus. We’ve had a pretty tough victory at Tuscola and last week’s win was a reasonably easy win. Sometimes you can get

full of yourself if you don’t look out.”

Ollis mentioned that R-S would be hungry for a win after two early loses.

“We are going to get their best

effort, no doubt! It is always a good atmosphere over there; their fans are very excitable and we always take a big crowd. I try to encourage our fans to come and enjoy the excitement of Wolverine football.”

Landrum Cardinals face touch challenge against Walhalla

by Joey Millwood

After a tough week on the road, Landrum will make its football season debut in front of the home crowd tonight, Friday, Aug. 31 at 7:30 p.m. The Cardinals took a tough loss last week against 3A Broome, 42-0, and the road doesn’t get any easier.

The Cardinals will host Walhalla. The Razorbacks beat West Oak last week 58-27. The Razorbacks run a two-back spread offense that’s very similar to what the Cardinals run. They have an athletic quarterback and tailback who will keep the Cardinal defense busy all night.

To add to the challenge, the Cardinals are limping into this game. Star wide receiver Peyton McCarter is still down with a hamstring issue and will be out another two weeks. The Cardinals have had a stomach bug running through the team as well. Offensive line leader Matt Pace is

questionable, as is Gavin Bishop, who didn’t play against Broome last week.

The Cardinals, however, have

done what they needed to do at practice to put last week behind them and move on to the Razorbacks.

“I believe we’ll respond as we have in the past by working hard to compete to win on Friday night,” head coach Russell Mahaffey said.

Mr. Bud (Trippy), our homeless dog, had his leg removed and the operation went beautifully.

The drain was removed on Friday and I’ll be taking him to his new home at 11 a.m. this morning. It is once again early Monday. The little trooper is soaking up all the attention he’s getting and getting around beautifully. I went to Bonnie Brae’s on Friday to help pay for Mr. Bud’s boarding but Angel would have none of it.

“We promised you it would be free and that means all of it,” she said, smiling.

Not only that, she offered me some extra heart medicine that she has that I could definitely use for Mia and Kaya, two shepherds I’ve been helping for a while. I love these girls and their owners and this gesture alone will save me hundreds of dollars. Did I tell you that our vets are incredible?

Charlie, the nine-year-old Dachshund, has had his tumors removed, along with a bad tooth that was causing him problems.

Eva, bless her, left $30 in an effort to assist. Charlie’s bill was half of what was originally quoted even with the extra work that was done.

Thanks Landrum vet, I am well aware of the breaks you give me for my kids. Charlie is back home now and feeling great.

Eva says “Now if he’d just leave his stitches alone.”

“He’s a Dachshund,” I said, laughing, “what do you expect?”

The lady who found “Roscoe,” our matted Pom mix, not only left $50 to help with his care but comes in to walk him now and then – good people. Roscoe will be neutered later on today but there’s a reason why I’ll be picking up Mr. Bud after 10 a.m. today.
