Polk’s Vietnam vet, Nelon, reconnects with fellow vets by Leah Justice
We have a New York Direct Sales Connection!
Jerry Nelon of Nelon Knoll Farms in Pea Ridge knows the exact day he flew to Vietnam because fellow veteran and lifelong friend Jimmy Arledge reminded him. Arledge was with him on Jan. 6, 1970. The two grew up together in Polk County, did basic training together and flew on the same plane to Vietnam that day. Once they arrived, however, they didn’t see each other again until returning home. Polk County has many Vietnam veterans like Nelon and Arledge, several of which have connected over the years and attend support meetings. Nelon said through technology he has connected with other soldiers he served with across the country and locally. Nelon was drafted in the U.S. Army and served in Vietnam for about a year in 1970. He was 20 years old at the time. Nelon said he volunteered to serve in Vietnam because his brother was already over there. To this day his memories remain vivid. He said the longest he ever spent in the field was 60 days where he ate WWII rations, dealt with leeches and monsoons and wasn’t able to shower the entire time. He carried M60 machine guns and said his load on the 60-day field time included carrying a case of rations, 11 quarts of water, an M60 machine gun, 300 rounds of ammunition belts, two frag grenades, two smoke grenades and an ammo box with writing paper in it. On the trip he found a Vietnamese chainsaw that remains in his possession today. “Everyone in my squad got some kind of souvenir,” Nelon said. “I sent it home and had it stored for 40-something years.” Nelon said 40 years later a sergeant contacted him through the Internet and asked if he still had the chainsaw. The sergeant was calling to tell Nelon about a reunion, which sparked his interested in that chainsaw yet again, encouraging him to get it restored for the reunion, which is held annually.
“I got interested in the chainsaw, put gas in it, pulled it three times and it started,” Nelon said. Nelon has since been in touch with many that he served with as well as vets who live in the area. Nelon actually served in the same infantry division as Brick Owner Ron Kuwaja and Hunt Hardin, although Nelon and Kuwaja didn’t meet until four or five years ago. Hardin and Nelon went to high school together, but didn't see each other in Vietnam. At weekly meetings in Hendersonville, through the Greenville Veteran’s Center, Nelon meets up with local Vietnam veterans Arledge, Larry Gibbs, Steve Shehan, Bobby Arledge, Bobby McAbee, Leon Morgan and others. Nelon has had his first sergeant, captain and his assistant gunner visit and stay at his farm in recent years through communications and the reunions. “Your assistant gunner is the closest to you,” Nelon said. “I hadn’t heard from him in 40-something years.” Nelon found a list and found his assistant gunner’s name, Ken Shadel and called him. Shadel and his family came and visited Nelon at his farm during the summer of 2011. Nelon said Shadel brought an article from the Stars and Stripes where it talked about a firefight Nelon was involved in where Nelon said they lost three soldiers. The article listed Nelon’s name as Jerry Nelson and said he was from Asheville, but Nelon knew who the reporter meant. “One of the most memorable things from Vietnam was when Shadel’s mother sent him a case of Heinz 57,” Nelon said, “and you talk about changing the flavor of the rations.” Nelon said he also stays in touch with a soldier from Oklahoma who is a Cherokee as well. “When you’re in that situation you don’t think about where you’re from,” Nelon said. “You’re just brothers. Everything was out to get you over there.”

Legalize cannabis To the editor: Today I sit here in confusion and yes, in sorrow as well. Today 11.9 million American citizens can legally use cannabis for recreational purposes. Yet after four years of lobbying and begging and educating and pleading, the legislators of the State of North Carolina still will not allow it's use for medicine when a doctor recommends it. I find this quite odd. It has now been proven that cannabis can kill or reduce the production of cancer cells in the body. We now know that our own bodies carry an endo-cannabinoid system, which regulates every other system within the human body. We now know that our bodies have millions and millions of receptors for cannabis in every major organ, including the skin. We know our endo-cannabinoid system, when properly supplemented, regulates all your systems including the amount of moisture in your eyes and lips. We now know that regu-

lar cannabis use can prevent Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and numerous autoimmune diseases. We now know that veterans suffering with traumatic brain injuries and PTSD are greatly benefited by the use of medical cannabis. We now know our own government knew, back in the early 70s, that cannabis killed breast and lung cancer cells. We now know our own government holds five separate patents for cannabis for medical use, while maintaining it has no medical value. Citizens in 18 states and the District of Columbia can now legally use cannabis for medical purposes. A total of 11.9 million Americans, over the age of 21, can now recreationally and legally use cannabis while North Carolina patients are left to suffer and be forced to use harmful and toxic pharmaceutical drugs. As a compassionate and caring citizen, isn't it your duty, to at least write a letter to NC's legislators and tell them we need compassion and common sense in our state? - Jean Marlowe, Mill Spring

Letter to the Editor
Decline of patriotism in America To the editor: It seems that, within a week, America will be recovering from a post-election hangover even as it pauses to remember veterans on Nov. 11. Yet if this last Memorial Day and Fourth of July are examples, the celebration will be more muted and less spirited than at any time since 9/11. Here in the ultra-patriotic South, fewer vehicles and trucks appear to display proud bumper stickers, American flags and, most ubiquitous of all, Marine symbols. While Tea Party loyalists and others reflexively and indignantly will object, patriotism nonetheless seems to be trending in the wrong direction. It all started long before the first presidential debate. Something fundamental has changed in
Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper
America, but what? First, Americans are war weary. After all, we’ve been fighting a “war on terror” for more than a decade now, and, with no clearly definable goals, low-intensity conflicts like those in Afghanistan seem to grind on forever. Moreover, the very nature of warfare has changed. Why go to war? We increasingly engage in “wars of choice,” and that puts nations like Iran squarely in our gun sights. How do we measure success? By the number of Al Qaeda chieftains killed? By the restoration of electricity in Kabul? By increased oil production in Iraq? By meaningless puppet elections that insure nothing? By training a large surrogate army? All or none of these? America now operates under the illusion that through remote and sophisticated battlefield technology like drones, we have become insulated against the re-
alities of warfare. That threatens to sabotage our ability to withstand emerging threats from even more radical Islamist states, from China, and from a newly nationalistic Russia. Additionally, who fights for us now? With no draft and an endless recession, we now have a professional army drawn mostly from the lower classes, a force that distances itself from the interlocking of war and society through a common cause. Our military thus has become an increasingly privatized force run by career professional officers, an enterprise paid for by career politicians and used as their blunt instrument. Then, too, military representation in Congress and elsewhere might be at a historic low. John McCain stands out in that capacity as he did in a military one. The two presidential candidates never put on a uniform. In fact, three generations of Romney’s, all eligible for the draft or for duty in major conflicts ranging

from the Gulf War to Afghanistan, never served. No chance of a film called Saving Private Romney from that commitment to sacrifice. Most of today’s political leadership, both Republican and Democratic, haven’t sent a single son or daughter to fight or even serve in the nation’s military. A rare exception like the Biden’s only underscores the point. Lastly, the rise of nativism and the infusion of racism into politics has only made patriotism seem a redder, whiter and now bluer affair. As we have narrowed our concept of what it means to be an American, we also might have made patriotism more exclusive as well. The “birther” controversy really is about that restricted idea of American-ness. Yet in so doing, we also have promoted the decline of patriotism and love of country for the many even as we enhance and enlarge it for the few. - Milton Ready, Tryon

Poet Laureate Joseph Bathanti pens poem to celebrate Veterans Day In September when award winning poet, professor and advocate for literacy, Joseph Bathanti, took the post as North Carolina's seventh poet laureate, following local poet Cathy Smith Bowers. Soon after taking the post, Bahanti announced plans to work with veterans to share their stories of military service — including combat zones — through poetry. To celebrate Veterans Day on Sunday, Nov. 11, Bathanti has written a poem for veterans, families of veterans and for all of us who honor America's veterans for their patriotism, love of country and willingness to serve and sacrifice. The poem is entitled Saint Francis’s Satyr Butterfly and celebrates the miraculous metamorphosis of the Saint Francis’s Satyr, a rare endangered butterfly only found in the United States at Fort Bragg, one of the largest Army bases in the country. Note: Saint Francis’s Satyr, a rare, endangered butterfly, exists
exclusively in a 10x10 kilometer, high artillery impact zone within the confines of Fort Bragg in Fayetteville, N.C. “North Carolina, arguably the heart of the U.S. military establishment, is overflowing with unforgettable stories of veterans and their families, and across the state there are various initiatives dedicated to bringing these accounts to the surface,” Bathanti said. Bathanti is a professor of creative writing at Appalachian State University where he is also director of writing in the field and writer-inresidence in the university's Watauga Global Community. He has taught writing workshops in prisons for more than three decades and is former chair of the N.C. Writers’ Network Prison project. To learn more about the poet laureate program visit www.ncarts.org/poet_laureate. – article submitted by Rebecca Moore, North Carolina Arts Council
Saint Francis’s Satyr Butterfly All creatures have the same source as we have. — Saint Francis of Assisi A reclusive small brown butterfly, white and yellow stigmatic suns deployed along its wing ridges, Saint Francis’s Satyr – christened after the 12th century Italian soldier and POW turned mystic – secretes itself, miraculously, in 10 by 10 kilometers of the 251 square mile brash of Fort Bragg – exact coordinates classified – beyond which – we know this much – it has gone undetected. Shy, endangered, preferring anonymity, it hides in high artillery impact domains –
life often chooses death – the fires triggered by bombardment. It wears Marsh camouflage, resembles in its favored habitat – blasted sedge and beaver ruins – a tiny standard issue Advanced Combat Helmet. Parsed from the chrysalis, rent too soon from its dream of living, the satyr blazes in desperate glory but three or four days, in its imaginal stage, then tenders its life in writ sacrifice. Its gorgeous numbers dwindle. The caterpillar has never been seen. We accept, on faith, metamorphosis. - Joseph Bathanti

Merry Tuba Christmas celebrates 39th anniversary Dec. 1 Merry Tuba Christmas is celebrating its 39th anniversary. Created by Harvey Phillips, Merry Tuba Christmas 2012 concerts will be presented in more than 250 cities throughout the United States and in several foreign countries. Phillips was inspired to create Tuba Christmas as an annual event honoring his teacher, the late great tubist William J. Bell, who was born on Christmas Day,
1902. Every Christmas season, tuba and euphonium players of all ages, from specific geographic areas, gather to pay respect – through William J. Bell – to all the great artists/teachers who represent their heritage. EveryTuba Christmas performance features traditional Christmas carols especially arranged (for the first Tuba Christmas, Dec. 22, 1974 on “The Rink at Rockefeller
SINCE 1995
Tues . - Sat. 10-5
Center”) by American composer Alec Wilder (died Christmas Eve, 1980). Through Wilder, Tuba Christmas concerts show that players are grateful to composers who have embraced the noble instruments with solo and ensemble compositions. Depending on the population of any given geographic area, Tuba Christmas ensembles may attract multiples of 100 participants aged 8 to more than 90 years.
The warm, rich organ-like sound of the tuba-euphonium choir has won the ears and hearts of every audience. It is no wonder that Tuba Christmas has become an established Christmas tradition in cities throughout the world. Tuba Christmas will be performed this year on Dec. 1, at 1:30 p.m., at the Polk County High School. – article submitted by Betsy Zeek

White Oak of Tryon earns deficiency free status White Oak Management Inc. of Spartanburg hosted a luncheon, catered by Hare and Hound of Landrum, for the staff of White Oak of Tryon to celebrate their Deficiency Free evaluation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which was conducted in September. The North Carolina Division of Health Service Regulation conducted a routine survey at White Oak of Tryon to evaluate the nursing facility’s compliance with federal quality standards and found them to be in substantial compliance in all areas that included delivery of care, resident outcomes and facility conditions. The average percentage of deficiency-free facilities in the state of North Carolina is around 6 percent out of 407 facilities annually. Mary Lance, administrator
of White Oak of Tryon, said, “This is something of which we can all be very proud. It takes an entire team working on an ongoing basis to achieve this type of survey result. This result should also be of great comfort to many of the retirees in the community who may need our facility in the future.” She went on to say, “This is not something that just happens, it takes pride in one’s work, excellent skills and a great amount of caring.” White Oak of Tryon offers skilled nursing, short-term rehabilitation, assisted living and an independent living apartment community. White Oak is one of 15 facilities in North and South Carolina owned and managed by White Oak Management of Spartanburg, S.C. – article submitted

Rainbow Fish encourages cultural understanding
After reading "The Rainbow Fish," by Marcus Pfister, Saluda preschool students colored tracings of their hands. The hands were used to make a friendship wreath for their class to remind students to continue to be respectful friends to each other. The many colors remind us that we are friends with people of all cultures. (photo submitted by Lisa Obermiller)

Strength training tips for seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can lifting weights help with age-related health problems? At age 70, I have diabetes, arthritis and osteoporosis and recently read that strength training could improve my conditions. What can you tell me? Looking for help Dear Looking, A growing body of research shows that strength training exercises can have a profound impact on a person’s health as they age – and you’re never too old to start. Regular strength training, done at least two nonconsecutive days a week, helps you build muscle strength, increases your bone density and improves your balance, coordination and stamina. It can also help reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, back pain, depression and obesity. And some studies even show that it helps improve cognitive function too. Safety first For the most part, strength training exercises – especially if you start conservatively and progress slowly – are safe for most seniors, even those with serious health conditions. But, if you have health concerns or if you are currently inactive, you should talk to your doctor about what may be appropriate for you. A good self-help resource to help you find an appropriate, safe exercise program is the “Exercise and Screening for You” tool at easyforyou.info. Getting started If you’ve never done strength training exercises before, you may want to work with a personal trainer for a few sessions to help you develop a safe and effective routine you can continue on your own. They cost anywhere from $20 to $100 per hour. To find one, ask your health care provider or contact a good health club or fitness
facility in your area. You can also search for one online at reputable sites like acefitness. org or ideafit.com. If personal training isn’t an option, there are lots of great senior strength training videos you can purchase to guide you through a wide variety of exercises that you can do at home. Collage Video (collagevideo. com, 800-819-7111) sells dozens of age and fitness appropriate DVDs. Also see go4life.nia.nih. gov, a resource created by the National Institute on Aging that offers a free exercise DVD and guide that provides illustrated examples of exercises you can do at home to strengthen your body. You can order your free copies online or by calling 800-222-2225. Senior classes If you don’t like exercising alone or need some motivation consider joining a gym, or call your local senior center to see if they offer any strength training exercise classes. You should also check out SilverSneakers (silversneakers.com, 888-4234632) or Silver&Fit (silverandfit.com, 877-427-4788). These are fitness programs offered in thousands of fitness centers, gyms and YMCAs throughout the U.S. that offer special classes designed for older adults. These programs are available only to seniors that have certain Medicare supplemental policies or Medicare Advantage plans. Equipment If you work out at home you’ll probably need to invest in some equipment. While some strength training can be done using your own body weight (like push-ups, sit-ups and leg squats), hand weights, ankle weights, medicine balls, resistance bands or rubber tubing are all great tools for strength training. You can find all these products at sporting goods

In today’s column, I’d like to explore one of my favorite spices … ginger. The ginger plant, which is native to Southeast Asia, has been used by civilizations for more than 5,000 years. It’s been used in culinary dishes, as well as for medicinal purposes. The ancient Romans used ginger extensively and the Arabs later traded it in Europe. Arabs then planted ginger in other tropical places. It is still very popular in both Eastern and Western cultures. Ginger is often referred to as ginger “root,” but it actually isn’t a root at all, but rather a “rhizome.” The word rhizome comes from the Greek rhizoma “mass of roots,” but is in fact, an underground stem. Younger ginger plants are generally better for cooking, while older plants are used more for medicinal purposes. So what are some of the health benefits of ginger? One of the most popular uses is to relive nausea. Remember your mom giving you ginger ale for an upset stomach? She knew what she was doing. Ginger has compounds called “shogaols” and “gingerols.” These constituents are believed to give ginger its anti-nausea properties. This spice is so effective against nausea, that it’s being used to treat individuals undergoing chemotherapy. In
fact, in one study, as little as onequarter of a teaspoon of ginger cut symptoms of nausea by 40 percent. It is used to treat motion sickness, morning sickness and is even good for heartburn. Ginger is also recommended for those with gall stones, because it triggers the release of bile, which can help heal the problem over time. Ginger has been used for internal disorders like ovarian and colon cancers, as well as for external wounds. It’s also used in the treatment of colds, because of its anti viral properties. Ginger has been used by those with osteoarthritis, because it also acts against inflammation. One study of 261 people with osteoarthritis of the knee found that those who took a ginger extract twice a day, needed fewer pain-killing drugs than those who received a placebo. Even though the health benefits of ginger may be numerous, there are precautions. Always tell your doctor if you’re taking ginger, especially if you are taking medication. Also, don’t take more than 4 grams per day, and never give to children under 2 years of age. Diet or exercise question? Email me at dwcrocker77@gmail. com or visit fitness4yourlife.org.

Polk faces Shelby on road in second round of playoffs By Fulton Hampton
Facing one of the most celebrated and successful football programs in state history in the second round of the playoffs presents both challenges and an opportunity according to Polk County High School Coach Bruce Ollis. “They are the winningest program in state history. (But) we are excited; it’s a great opportunity for our team and our program. We
are looking forward to it,” he said. “A lot of people are talking about the tradition rich program and we understand that… but I have told our players we are going over there to win a game and that’s the only way we are thinking. It’s about us this week and we are going to worry about what we do.” Ollis said defensively Shelby’s players are not huge but very quick.
“They kind of remind me of a Hendersonville type defense - a lot of kids that can get around the ball very quickly and are very physical. But we feel like we can slow some people down running option football,” Ollis said. He said they have to account for the fullback, the quarterback and the pitchman. He said doing so makes people slow down. “That’s going to be the key for
us to play keep away; run 65 -70 plays. We feel like if we can keep the ball on our side a lot and not turn it over we can make things interesting,” Ollis said. “We realize there is a lot on the line and being on the road is a big deal, but it’s only 45 minutes up the road and we expect a big contingent of Polk County fans.” Kickoff for the playoff match is at 7:30 p.m.
Polk men's cross country state qualifiers finish seventh After finishing in the top four teams in the Western Region Championships, Polk County High School's Men's Cross Country team qualified for the state

team appearance since 2005, all Polk runners posted personal bests and finished seventh overall out of 20 AA teams. The following made the Top 7 team, the

PCMS soccer concludes regular season in fourth place by Lucas Veale
The 2012 Polk County Boy’s Middle School Soccer team concluded its regular season in the highly competitive Blue Ridge Conference with four wins, earning the eighth and final playoff spot and a trip to Canton to face the top seeded and only once beaten Bears. A blustery October wind and vocal home crowd were no deter-

Barely heard over the roar of the home crowd was a referee’s whistle indicating infringement by a Bear player necessitating a retake of the penalty kick. The second kick proved to be too unnerving to take as the ball sailed just over the bar. The Wolverines breathed a heavy sigh of relief with the 1-0 lead intact. The remaining minutes forced several exceptional saves from keeper Wilson Edwards as he inspired the team’s effort to keep the shutout on the board. The final whistle signaled an exuberant and validating result for the months of hard work invested by Wolverine players. Polk would go on to lose a close contest in the semi-finals to the

Tender things that we hold close and remember, a warmth in the heart and soul that radiates. Kindness and love of each other is something simple and obtainable, far more valuable than any stock portfolio or fancy new car. Some things I'm grateful for right now: freshground coffee scent permeating the kitchen, a warm dog at my feet and blooming plants inside the house. I’m also grateful for running water, better vision, the car starting, dinner prepared by a friend and shared with love, a pile of library books and no more pest robo calls for the

There wasn’t any hesitation, upon meeting him the bond and love simply grew deeper. Josh and Astrid (who I have utter faith in) agreed that it was an excellent fit for Roscoe and off he went to his new home. I met them for the first time after their church services and Ruth was walking Roscoe to do his business. Roscoe greeted me warmly but made it clear that I was just Uncle Lennie. Inside Roscoe darted back and forth between Ted and Ruth receiving attention and telling me “these are my parents, this is where I was meant to be.” Two days later I returned with lots of toys, treats and things for Roscoe to chew on.

He loves riding in their truck and goes into his crate bed without any fuss at night. He has had a couple of accidents in the house but far, far better then the past. Still I’ve sent my dear friend Debbie O’Donnell to help with his training. I did explain that he is very intelligent, make him understand what pleases you and what doesn’t, reward good behavior and he will learn. When I left the house I had the exact same feeling as I did when I left Loretta. Ruth said, “thank you very much Lennie, my house is once again a home.” Thanks for listening.

Now is right time to feed your fescue lawn Most Polk County homes have lawns that are planted with cool season grasses like tall fescue. The first fall application usually is spread in September. Now it is the time to treat your cool season turfgrasses for a third feeding. The final fertilization should be applied in mid-November. According to Dr. Art Bruneau, extension turfgrass specialist for North Carolina State University, the cool season turfgrasses need feeding near Valentine’s Day (February), Labor Day (September) and Veteran’s Day (November). The recommended rate of fertilizer for the November feeding is one pound of nitrogen for every 1,000 square feet of lawn. When you are using a balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10, a homeowner would apply 10 pounds for every 1,000 square feet of lawn area. If you used the special slowrelease “turf-type” fertilizer in September, you may be able to skip this third application. Read and follow the directions on the fertilizer bag.
When applying or spreading your fertilizer make certain that the turf is not wet. The grass foliage can be burned when fertilizer is placed on top of a wet lawn. On occasion some “specialty” turf fertilizers that also kill weeds in lawn will recommend an application on wet turf. Please remember that most grasses thrive at a soil pH of 6.5. Native soils have a much lower
pH. In order to raise the pH, homeowners need to add lime to their lawn area. To determine the soil pH, soil boxes for testing are available at the County Extension Center in Columbus. For more information contact a Polk County Master Gardener at 894-8218. – article submitted by Sarah Gottfried

“You learn so much in a short amount of time,” Chuck says. “If you’re a first time parent or haven’t had a child in a long time, I would totally recommend these classes.” Jennifer was able to bond with Genevieve after her C-section, something she wasn’t allowed to do during the birth of her first child at another hospital. “Dr. James Godfrey (of Rutherford OB-GYN) brought her into the recovery area so I could feed her. He knew that was important to me.” Following Genevieve’s birth, Jennifer found it comforting that Childbirth & Women’s Health Coordinator Lucy Calhoun was just a phone call away. “I was having trouble nursing and Lucy gave me her cell phone number so that I could call any time.” The Birth Place at Rutherford Regional offers compassionate, personalized care before, during and after your baby is born.
