Polk asks state for legal trapping of furbearers

by Leah Justice

Polk County Commissioners are asking the state to amend House Bill 744 to include Polk County as a legal county to trap furbearers during trapping season.

Furbearers listed with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission include beaver, bobcat, coyote, gray fox, groundhogs, mink, muskrat, nutria, opossum, otter, raccoon, red fox, spotted skunk, striped

skunk and weasel.

It is currently not legal to trap furbearers because of a 1975 state law that excluded Polk, Rutherford

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

“We could not be more impressed with the doctors, nurses and facilities at The Birth Place.”

Reid speaks about ‘The last Lion’

Letter to the Editor

Gun control To the editor: I wish the anti-gunners would at least be honest.

The so-called assault weapons are no more dangerous than the typical semi-automatic hunting rifle with a pretty wooden stock.

Assault weapons are fully automatic submachine guns - they spray many bullets with one pull of the trigger.

The rifles sold in the U.S. are semi-automatic rifles - one pull of the trigger, one shot. The AR type rifles are all metal and just

look mean.

The problem with gun control laws is that they disarm exactly the wrong people. We should, instead of disarming the honest citizen, take down those ‘no guns allowed’ signs on buildings and in school zones and encourage teachers to arm themselves, as we’ve done with pilots.

If you really investigate the subject of firearms in the U.S., you’ll find that they actually do much more good than harm. A murder is different, so it makes headlines. The home protected by brandishing a firearm is manifold and ho-hum.

– Don Ellenberger, Tryon

Its signature program for youth, the Roseland Institute for Summer Enrichment (RISE!),

“Obviously we are grateful to the Polk County Community Foundation for this generous grant,” Carson said. “It will go a long way towards helping preserve a very special Eastside institution.”

Ten ways to give your baby a great start in life Research clearly shows that the brain and personality of a child is developing in dramatic ways during the first years of life. What you do in the first three years of your child’s life directly impacts the adult your child will become. Quite simply, the first years last forever.

Here are ways to get your child off to a great start: Hold your baby: Cuddle your baby often; rock him; hug and kiss him as you feed or change him. Never hit or shake your baby!

Respond to your baby’s Signals: Try to understand what your baby is feeling or telling you with her facial expressions, movement, or sounds.

Talk, sing and read to your

of Gifts’ by Patrick Leigh Farmer “Time of Gifts” by Patrick Leigh Fermor At 18 in age, Fermor was cashiered from school for the high crime of handholding with a local greengrocer’s daughter.

His school exit report noted him as “a dangerous mixture of sophistication and recklessness” – words that sprung him upon a world that few of us dare chance.

Made loose, he was off to places where no teacher, no book, no classroom can compete.

With empty pockets, saddled with a rucksack, shod in hobnailed boots, Fermor sets out to explore Europe on his trek

to Constantinople. A wondrous story, telling much about the man he was to become — keen observer, a likable adventurer, a risk-lover with the soul of a wandering poet.

It was in Athens where he collided with a Romanian beauty of nobility; in a prolonged idyll they camped in an old, lust-engendering gristmill. In other hours, she painted and he wrote. Perhaps it was there, in those smitten moments when he evolved his style of fertile prose. In World War II, in which, (Continued on page 14)

15th annual Polk Master Gardeners course begins mid-March Master Gardener volunteers are individuals with an interest in both gardening and volunteer service. If you want to learn more about growing plants in the foothills, are willing to attend training one day a week for 12 weeks, and have the desire and time to commit 40 hours of volunteer service, this program may be for you.

This spring the Polk County Center of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service will be offering its 15th Master Gardener class. Master Gardeners will get a variety of trainings from topics such as lawn care, to tree and shrub identification and care, to learning how to produce quality fruits and vegetables.

Individuals involved must also possess an interest in sharing their gardening knowledge with others.

You do not have to be an experienced gardener to participate. An application process will be used to help choose the Master Gardener students. If selected, you will attend special Master Gardener classes taught and coordinated by John Vining of the Polk County Extension

Center. This year’s class will have room for 12 participants and will meet on Thursdays.

A fee is charged for the program to offset the cost of a large Master Gardener manual.

This manual is packed full of horticultural information and becomes the personal property of each Master Gardener at the end of the course work. Program participants will receive a minimum of 40 hours of instruction on all aspects of gardening. In addition, a few special field trips will be planned to better inform the future extension volunteers.

After the training is finished, graduates of the program are expected to volunteer at least 40 hours of work back to the local extension horticulture programs. This can be done in a variety of ways primarily from answering garden questions by phone, and occasionally working on community garden projects.

Classes will be scheduled for each Thursday and is expected to begin in mid-March. The deadline date for applications is Thursday, Feb. 21 at 5 p.m.

To receive an application or to

learn more about the classes, come by or call the Polk County

Extension Center at 894-8218.

the fish need a little something extra to provoke a bite. The Speed craw and Speed worm are good to have when the fish quit biting. These baits can sometimes get you bites when fished fast enough to make the tails thump.

The last soft plastic we will look at is the Senko. This worm looks rather dull in the pack, but it is something extraordinary when it is fished properly. The extra heavy worm is designed to be fished wieghtless where it will slowly wobble on the fall. Wacky rigging and Texas rigged/no sinker is the most effective. Green Pumpkin, Watermelon and June Bug colors are hard to beat.

Don’t be overwhelmed by all the choices in baits and colors.

Will they all catch fish? Believe it or not they will. But the tried and true baits and colors are what you want to spend most of your time fishing. Time on the water is valuable, and most of us don’t have enough of it.

And while I recommend and practice experimenting on the water, you will more than likely catch more fish by sticking to the basics.
