• Farm festival (continued from page 1)

This year’s farm festival will feature several new activities.

The Polk County High FFA program will offer tractor-pulled hay rides across Columbus.

These will depart every half hour from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The Polk County High School agriculture program is also bringing some farm animals and they will have corn hole games on the street for those folks interested in playing.

Clerk of the Superior Court Pam Hyder will have the courthouse open from 10 a.m. to noon, and John Vining will give guided tours every 20 minutes.

“One of the exciting developments at this year’s farm festival,” John Vining said, “is the unveiling of Polk County (Continued on page 4)

High school teacher Tawana Weicker will be on hand to explain how this new technology will be used to produce biodiesel at the high school.

“We are very excited about the different aspects of our local agricultural community and how folks are coming together to share their knowledge of local farming,” said Lynn Sprague, Polk County Ag Economic Director.

In addition to farm equipment, beekeepers and farm animals, vendors and crafters on the street will show off their food and crafts.

Gasperson gave credit to commissioner Ted Owens for working to get the section repaved. Owens originally asked DOT officials to repave the section of Hwy. 9 and suggested Polk County send a resolution to state officials regarding getting the road paved sooner than planned.

Commissioners approved a resolution to send to DOT in August asking to place the resurfacing of Hwy. 9 higher on its list. The state at the time had estimated the resurfacing wouldn’t be possible until fiscal year 2015/2016.

‘Can’t they just throw some dirt on top of the snakes?’

Everyone needs to take a break every now and then.

Especially from the political ads, conventions, and know-it-all pundits.

Which is why I’ve begun watching ‘Property Brothers’ on HGTV, a channel I had to refrain from viewing owing to several dents in my “entertainment center,” a.k.a. bench, from shoes being hurled at the annoying people who go shopping for a new home in “International House Hunters” and end up alienating everyone

But “Property Brothers” is different - just. And it has nothing to do with the fact that the two hosts are devastatingly handsome with

their lean, athletic bodies, gobs of thick, dark, hair and beautifully deep-set, penetrating eyes. Nothing. I’m just astonished to see anyone taller than me, besides Big Bird, on television. One is a real estate agent (shaves) and the other is a contractor (sexy stubble).

Well, I think it’s a sexy stubble.

Paul says if I like that then I must have thought Jed Clampett was really hot.

The gist of the show is this: each week, an incredibly naive couple (who, evidently, have

never looked at a real estate listing in their lives) sit down and give the brothers a list of their “must haves.” Generally, it goes something like this: “Well, we have a child, now, so, we’re going to need at least four bedrooms. We want an open planned living area with a huge kitchen, granite work tops and stainless appliances. We really enjoy entertaining and we have a dog, so we need a huge back yard,

Archaeologist to discuss Native Americans and their use of environment at Tryon Fine Arts Center Sunday, Oct. 7 Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) will host Dr. Anne Rogers as she presents “Native Americans and Their Use of the Environment” at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 7. This 45-minute presentation is the second in a series of three Road Scholar lectures in the humanities provided free of charge by North Carolina Humanities Council on three consecutive Sundays at TFAC. Native Americans were aware of the resources present in many areas of the environment. This program discusses their use of plant, animal and mineral resources. It also describes changes that occurred through time as their social and political organization evolved from hunting and gathering to chiefdom-level societies.

Dr. Rogers is an anthropologist specializing in archaeology and Native American studies. She

has conducted archaeological research for more than 20 years in the southern Appalachian region, including North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia and Virginia. Her research in Native American studies has focused on the Cherokee, both past and present. She is professor of anthropology at Western Carolina University.

The final speaker in the Road Scholar series at TFAC will be Betty Smith, award-winning performer and teacher of Appalachian music. She will present “Women in Traditional Song” on Oct. 14.

This project is made possible by funding from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Since 1990, the N.C. Humanities Council has provided free access to interesting speakers

Polk author receives military writers society literary award The Military Writers Society of America (MWSA) recently awarded a silver medal to Joe Epley’s historical novel “A Passel of Hate” at the society’s annual awards dinner in Dayton, Ohio.

MWSA medal awards are judged by a panel of peers and based on various factors including content, style, visual appearance and technical use of language.

“A Passel of Hate” is Epley’s first novel and describes the events in North and South Carolina leading up to and including the Battle of Kings Mountain.

The focus of the fact-based book is the emotional experiences of a family with three sons fighting for the king and two serving with the Liberty Men. Epley is a native of Forest City, N.C. and a former Green Beret. He began researching the Revolutionary War in the south

when he retired to the Tryon area after a successful public relations career in Charlotte.

Military Writers Society of America is an association of more than a thousand authors, poets and artists, drawn together by the common bond of military service.

Most of the members are active duty military, retirees or military veterans. A few are lifelong civilians who have chosen to honor the military through their writings or their art. The organization helps veterans, their families and historians record history and the complexities of military life – and encourages writing and other creative endeavors as therapy for the stresses of military circumstances. The organization’s focus is on using these works to educate the general public, students and the military community.

Wolverines to meet Avery Vikings for homecoming

by Fulton Hampton

Polk County (5-2 overall, 3-1 conference) takes on the Avery Vikings (2-5, 1-3) tonight for their annual homecoming game. The Wolverines are coming off a great win at Mitchell and hope to keep their conference championship chase alive with a victory tonight.

Avery won its first two games of the year but has been winless since. However, that could be a little misleading based on the Vikings’ last game with Hendersonville. Although they lost 19 – 0, the Vikings surprised most fans by holding Hendersonville to only 19 points. Hendersonville had been putting up some impressive scoring numbers in previous games and was only up 7-0 at half time.

“I have been most impressed with their quickness on defense; they tackle very well and really get after the football,” Polk Head Coach Bruce Ollis said. “Avery makes you prepare for a lot on defense. They basically run three different offensive schemes.

They have a sophomore quar-

terback that is a pretty talented athlete that can run very well, and [they] have a big fullback, a pounder.”

From an injury standpoint, the Wolverines were expecting to get running and defensive back Donte Poston back this week but

found out he’s out for the season with the injury sustained in the Landrum game.

Ollis, although disappointed, was confident in his offense: “Tyler Jackson and Matt Darden have come in and done very well; we’ve got two guys

back there that can run fast and Alec Philpott has done great job running the offense. We look forward to a big crowd, it’s always nice to see alumni back and former players. We certainly want to play well for them!”

Cardinals face Chesnee Eagles in big region test

by Joey Millwood

Landrum has always been in the running for a region championship.

Some may have wondered if that’d still be the case this season as the Cardinals embarked on a new journey – the 2A journey. Often, the change to a bigger classification isn’t met with smiles and roses.

Teams that make the jump often

struggle.

The Cardinals have been the exception to that rule this season.

Landrum played a brutal early slate as the season began. With a new quarterback and a new offensive coordinator, the Cardinals struggled against 3A Broome early, but the light was turning on as they pushed 3A Walhalla to the

limit and lost in the final seconds of overtime to Polk County.

Now the Cardinal steam engine is running at full speed and is facing a head-on collision with Chesnee tonight. The Eagles are the new natural rival to Landrum.

With both teams located in the northern edge of Spartanburg County, the rivalry makes sense.

The other teams are a decent drive.

Chesnee and Landrum are as close to neighbors as you can get.

The two will meet tonight, Friday, Oct. 5, at 7:30 p.m. at Chesnee, and a lot will be on the line. Sure, there’s pride and the soon-to-be rivalry, but there’s also an extra (Continued on page 31)

layer. When the two teams meet tonight, the winner will be in the pole position for the Region I-2A race.

The Cardinals have been led by a high-powered offense and a staunch defense. Landrum, however, has yet to put it all together for four quarters. Tonight will be a big stage and would be the perfect opportunity for that to take place.

The Cardinals have had strong

quarterback play from T.J. Fincher. He’s had weapons that have emerged at receiver in Sam Parsons and Chris Schulman. Peyton McCarter has provided the speed on the edge that the Cardinals have needed. After missing time early, he has emerged in recent weeks.

The Eagles will be a big test. It’ll be an even bigger test since it’s on the road. A win tonight would put the Cardinals right where they have been in most years – in the thick of it for a region championship.

Flail mower demonstration Oct. 10 at CooperRiis Farmers in the area are invited to come and see what a flail mower is and how it can increase the range of cover crops used on their farms.

CooperRiis Healing Community farm manager Mike Odle will demonstrate next Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 2 p.m. what he has learned using a flail mower over the last growing

season at the CooperRiis Farm.

“Cover crops are a great way to increase organic matter, suppress weeds between cash crops, handle erosion control, nitrogen fixation, break up hardpan and more,” Odle said.

“Farmers all over the world have started using cover crops to improve their soil. The flail mower makes robust cover

crops more manageable and offers some more options to those who want to explore no-till or low-till options.”

The CooperRiis flail mower was purchased last year with a grant from the Paul Culberson Agricultural Development Fund at the Polk County Community Foundation.

All interested parties are

invited to the 30-minute presentation at CooperRiis’ farm on Healing Farm Lane, just off Hwy. 108 about a quarter mile east of the Mill Spring crossroads with Hwy. 9, on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at 2 p.m. Signs will be posted at the entrance to guide visitors to the demonstration site.

Onions have been used to optimize health for centuries For thousands of years the onion has been used as an ingredient in various food dishes by cultures all over the world. It can be eaten raw, cooked, roasted, fried or dried, but did you know that onions have also been used for centuries to help heal? Egyptians numbered more than 8,000 ailments that could be alleviated by the onion.

This little vegetable has many benefits that can be used to optimize our health today, too. Onions actually belong to the “lily” family. Members of this family are known as “alliums.” There are more than 600 species of allium.

Other members of this family include garlic, leeks, chives, scallions and shallots. Onion varieties include red, yellow, white and green, and each onion has its own unique taste,

In central Georgia, where “Vidalia” onions are grown, mortality rates from stomach cancer are one-half that of the rest of the United States.

Greek studies show that high onion consumption with additional “allium” vegetables like garlic can decrease stomach cancer, too. Onions contain flavonoids, substances known to protect the heart and cardiovascular system.

Onions also contain natural anti-clotting agents. Accord(Continued on page 35)

Canned music, recorded messages: Friday night blues “All things on earth point home in old October: sailors to sea, travelers to walls and fences, hunters to field and hollow and the long voice of the hounds, the lover to the love he has forsaken.” ~ Thomas Wolfe

This is a tale of the Friday night blues: a throbbing headache, recorded messages, and canned music.

Why? Having discovered that a Sam’s Club credit bill transaction made on-line monthly did not go through, so I’d been slapped with a latefee. Every month I faithfully go on-line and set up payment in advance at the same time, like clock work.

So, I call the 1-800 number and wait. And wait. Canned music adds to misery. At last, a human: an inept sort who says she can’t help me and won’t

The “supervisor” tosses me back “out there” to someone else: at that point, I’m not feeling amused at all as I’m put on hold. The canned music returns – ARGH! Finally, I hang up – and control myself from bashing the phone to smithereens. Retry the 800 number. I get a real person this time and force myself to be “nice” as possible, reminding myself he has no idea of what I’ve just gone through. It’s not his fault, although by now I’m past frustrated and a little ticked to be treated so badly.

By the time you read this, hopefully I’ll be on the mend after eye surgery this week.

The good news is that thanks to so many kind and generous souls out there, I’ve been able to pay both the surgeon and the hospital in advance and happily shared the details of why with them. A “feel good” moment all around! I promise to keep you updated.

Thank you, dear readers. for reading this column. It’s my goal to make you feel as if you were enjoying a ‘Saluda Time’ visit on the porch swing, and warmly welcome in our small town of Saluda whether you live here or not, dreaming of being here, or are visiting.

Onions are a valuable addition to our diets. They provide much flavor while enhancing our health.

The deadly heartworm Humane Society Special Cases Leonard Rizzo

When I set up Lennie’s Fund at the Foothills Humane Society, it was for animals who needed urgent care. As you’re well aware, a variety of injuries and ailments have been treated over the years, but the fund’s main purpose was to battle heartworm disease.

Countless animals suffered with this malady and in many cases it hindered their adoptability. Moreover, the longer they stayed at the shelter the more dangerous the disease became and this scenario tore at my heart.

Many wonderful people adopted these dogs anyway, but far too many slipped through the cracks.

Today Lennie’s Fund pays for those who go to rescues and some who are adopted when as-

sistance is needed. We now have a program that begins treatment as soon as heartworm is detected.

In a few cases the disease has been eradicated; in others we’ve learned the severity and most importantly they are not getting worse.

Understand that these treatments are not mandatory to our charter but we at FHS take the humane part very seriously and many sacrifices have been made on the animals behalf. The cost of this program is astronomical and Lennie’s Fund could never keep up, though I intend to do as much as I can for as long as I can.

A new fund has been set up in honor of a fabulous dog called Champ. This fund will be aimed specifically at our heartworm program among other things. I had the privilege of knowing this (Continued on page 37)

wonderful boy and I am more than certain he would approve.

After all, for Champ, therapy was his calling.

To emphasize the magnitude of what we face I will list the animals currently on the program.

Some are at the shelter, some are in foster and some (thank God) are in foster to adopt: Amber, Goodie, Bloke, Snowshoe, Lexi, Gleason, Yotie, Wooley, Trooper, Macy, Ethal, Norman, Tessa, Dessy, Trevor, Ricky, Madelena, Francine, Duchess, Truffle, Tyrion, Loretta, Gena and Lola.

Tyrion and Francine are depicted in the photos.

Should this program falter I’d hate to be the person who must choose which animal can no longer receive treatment. For me, every one is a life worth saving.

God bless you all and thanks for listening.

Vaccination options for seniors this flu season Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any new or different types of vaccines being recommended to seniors this flu season?

Health Conscious Carol Dear Carol, There are actually several different types of flu shots available to seniors this year, along with a new FDA-approved shot for pneumonia. Here are your options.

Flu shots Just as they do every year, the CDC strongly recommends a seasonal flu shot to almost everyone, but it’s especially important for seniors who are more vulnerable.

The flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills around 24,000 – 90 percent of whom are seniors.

This year, all seniors 65 and older have two flu vaccine options from which to choose. A traditional flu shot, or a shot of Fluzone High-Dose. The highdose vaccine contains four times the amount of antigen (the part of the vaccine that prompts the body to make antibody) as a regular flu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection.

And if you’re under age 65, your two options are a regular flu shot or a shot of Fluzone Intradermal. The intradermal vaccine uses a shorter, thinner needle to inject the vaccine just under the

SINCE 1995

Tues . - Sat. 10-5

Savvy Senior skin, rather than deeper in the muscle like standard flu shots. If you’re squeamish about needles, this is a nice option.

You also need to be aware that if you’re allergic to chicken eggs or if you have had a severe reaction to a flu vaccine in the past you should not get vaccinated without consulting your doctor first.

To locate a vaccination site that offers regular, high-dose and intradermal flu shots, ask your doctor or pharmacist, or check the online flu-shot locator at flu.gov. Most chains like CVS, Walgreens, Safeway, Kmart, Walmart, Rite Aid and Kroger offer all types of shots.

You’ll also be happy to know that if you’re a Medicare beneficiary, Part B will cover 100 percent of the costs of any flu shot. But if you’re not covered, you can expect to pay around $25 to $35 for a regular or intradermal flu shot, or $50 to $60 for a shot of the high-dose.

Pneumonia vaccine The other important vaccination the CDC recommends to seniors – especially this time of year – is the pneumococcal vaccine for pneumonia and meningitis. Pneumococcal diseases hospitalize around 300,000 U.S. seniors each year, and kill around 5,000.

The CDC currently recommends all seniors 65 or older get a one-time-only shot of the vaccine Pneumovax, as well as those under 65 who smoke or have chronic health conditions like asthma, lung and heart disease, diabetes, or a weakened immune system.

Pneumovax, which protects against 23 strains of the pneumococcal disease, is also covered 100 percent under Medicare Part B, and you can get it on the same day you get your flu shot. If you’re not covered by insurance, this vaccine costs around $45 to $85 at retail clinics.

You also need to know that this year, there’s an alternative pneumococcal vaccine available to people age 50 and older called Prevnar 13. This vaccine, which has been available to children for several years, may provide seniors longer lasting and better protection against pneumonia than Pneumovax.

Talk to your doctor to determine which pneumonia vaccine is best for you.

Prevnar 13 is also covered by most insurers including Medicare Part B, but if you aren’t covered the shot runs between $100 and $150.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior� book.
