the hebrew Scriptures begin with a beautiful, poetic account of creation. for six days, God creates the cosmos and after a long week’s work we are told, “God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). God created a world filled with wonder and beauty, and God was pleased. after six days of hard work, God kicks off his shoes, whistles a tune and sits for a spell. the scriptures record it this way, “So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it

God rested from all the work that he had done in creation” (Genesis 2:3). the rythmns of work and rest are an essential part of our being. many of us understand the importance of work, even finding meaning and purpose in our vocations, especially as it contributes to the common good. Yet, we have difficulty with this concept of rest — what the Jewish and Christian traditions call Sabbath. our culture doesn’t reward Sabbath.

Polk baseball team crushes Owen to earn top playoff seed

by Mark Schmerling

Good defense, strong pitching and timely hitting propelled Polk County’s varsity baseball team to a 10-1 thrashing over visiting Owen, clinching the number one AA seed for the Wolverines in the upcoming playoffs.

Coach Ty Stott was especially pleased with “the timely hitting,” which has sometimes eluded his batters.

Polk lifted its overall mark 12-7 overall, and its conference record to 10-1. Starting pitcher Alec Philpott was mostly dominant, and also lined two hits in the win.

Polk took a 1-0 lead in the home first. With one down, Philpott blasted a single off the firstbaseman. Dylan Turner singled to center, bringing up third baseman Wes Brady, who singled home Philpott.

In the home second, Polk opened it up. Trevor Arrowood led off with a line single to right center, but was forced at second on Mark Mazilli’s fielder’s choice grounder. Mazilli strayed just a bit too far from first, and was picked off. However, J.C. Suddeth and Jordan Brown both walked. Philpott laced a fastball into deep left center for a two-run double, and scored on Turner’s hard single to left, making it 4-0.

Philpott mowed down the visitors one-two-three in both the third and fourth. In the home fourth, the Wolverines made it 5-0. With two down, Brown was hit by a pitch, and Philpott walked. Turner followed with his second single, a bullet to left that scored Brown.

Owen got on the board in the top of the fifth, but did no more.

Philpott hit the leadoff hitter on the arm. The next batter rifled a ball just inside third, but Brady made a sensational diving stop. That was all he could do, as his throw to first, from a reclining position, was late. A fielder’s choice groundout at second put runners at first and third, setting up Owen’s only run, on a sacrifice fly.

After that, it was all Wolverines. In the home fifth, leadoff hitter Bryce Martin greeted Owen’s reliever with a hard single to right.

One out later, Arrowood’s second single made it first and third.

Mazilli was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Suddeth then patiently took a walk to score run number six, and Brown’s sacrifice fly to right made it 7-1.

In Owen’s sixth, a single and

a hit batsman brought Daniel Painter in to relieve for Philpott, with one out. A fly out (with the runner advancing harmlessly from second to third) and a strikeout on a held foul tip got Polk out of the inning.

Polk struck again in the home sixth. With one down, Brady belted one high and deep to left center. A few hours earlier with sunshine and lighter air, it probably would have left the park, but it banged off the fence. Brady, who might have expected those extra few feet, coasted into second with a double. Nothing was lost, as Martin’s sacrifice fly put Brady on third. Pinch-hitter Konnner Scruggs lined a single to left, scoring Brady, to make it 8-1.

Painter reached base on a bad-hop

grounder past the shortstop, to put runners on first and second.

Tyler Tomberlin pinch ran for Painter. Mazilli’s single drove home Scruggs, and Tomberlin also scored, after a bobble by Owen.

That ended the scoring at 10-1, as Turner closed it out for Polk in the top of the seventh.

Referring to Brady’s stellar play at third, Stott noted, “He’s been solid all year. Our defense has been solid all year. So has the pitching. We hadn’t been scoring,” added Stott. “It was good to get some runs on the board, to give the pitching and defense a little rest.”

Stott was also pleased with his players’ attitudes.

“They (Owen) had some opportunities early, but we stopped them. That was huge,” Stott said.

Wolverine softball team suffers tough loss to Owen

by Mark Schmerling

The Lady Wolverines dropped a 6-5 nail-biter to visiting Owen Tuesday, April 30.

“It came down to a play or two, (that could have gone) either way,” said Polk County’s varsity softball coach Jeff Wilson.

After the loss PCHS is 16-5 overall, and 9-5 in conference play.

Katie Ruff pitched her usual focused game, with most Owen batters swinging a bit late on her fastball. Ruff got some fine defensive support and some good hitting, but as Wilson mentioned, a couple of plays, and a questionable ball/ strike call, shifted the results just enough for a scrappy Owen team to take advantage.

The Wolverines came to bat in the home first with no score, but wasted little time jumping ahead.

Leadoff batter Brittany Jones was hit by a pitch. She was erased at second on a fielder’s choice grounder by Hayley Kropp. But Shalyn Brown belted a double to left center, scoring Kropp. Cassie Couch struck out swinging, but Maddy Foy blooped a single behind third, to score Brown.

Owen fought back in the top of the second. The first batter drew a walk. A hard single just inside the third base bag made it first and second, but the next batter grounded into a force at third for the first out.

Owen’s next batter drove a single to right center, scoring a run, but Polk’s alert defense wiped out the previous runner, who rounded second too far.

A grounder and force at second kept the Wolverines ahead, 2-1, going into the home second.

Polk went down quickly in their half of the second, but Owen tied the game in the top of the third, on a sacrifice fly.

Owen took a 3-2 lead in the visitors’ fourth, when the leadoff batter timed one of Ruff’s fastballs, and dropped it just over the fence in left for a solo homer. Ruff bore down, retiring the next three batters.

It looked like Polk’s game in the home fourth. Cassie Couch drew a leadoff walk. Savannah Ross was sent to pinch-run. Foy hit an innocent grounder to short, but a bad throw to second went far

Amber Lynch scoring the Wolverines’ fifth run, on a sacrifice fly by Katie Ruff. (photo by Mark Schmerling)

into right center. Ross scampered home to tie the game, and Foy ran to third. Amber Lynch bunted her way on, putting runners at first and third with no outs. A bad throw to third brought Foy home, with Lynch advancing to third, and a 4-3 lead for Polk. With one down, Caitlin Davis was hit by a pitch, and stole second.

Ruff then helped herself and the Wolverines, with a sacrifice fly that scored Lynch, for a 5-3 lead.

Owen capitalized on a dropped pop foul and a dropped liner in the outfield to set up a run on a bloop single, closing Polk’s lead to 5-4, going into the home fifth.

However, in the home fifth, Polk put two runners on, but could not score.

Owen turned the game around in the top of the sixth, in spite of some great fielding by Polk. A dropped throw at the plate and yet another bloop single, this one for two runs, put Owen ahead, 6-5, to end the day’s scoring. By contrast, Polk’s last out in the home sixth was a screamer off the bat of Couch, caught at the mound.

In spite of the disappointing loss, “It was an excellent ball game,” said Wilson afterward. “I’m very proud of the way they played.” He emphasized what Wolverine fans already know: “Anyone who watched

knows they’re a really good team.

We gave everything we had . . .

Katie pitched a really good game.”

Polk’s next home game is next Monday at 4 p.m., against Swain County.

Perkins competes at Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event

by Kirk Gollwitzer

Beth Perkins proudly represented Tryon, as she competed last weekend at the 2013 Rolex ThreeDay Event, in Lexington, Ky. Rolex Kentucky is the only fourstar equestrian event in the western hemisphere and the highest level of competition, equal only to the Olympics. The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) indicates the level of difficulty through the use of four asterisks (CCI****) and during this year’s event, every star lived up to its reputation.

Perkins did well during the cross-country phase as the conditions were fair and the obstacles challenging, with only half of the field of competitors actually finishing. Perkins and her 15-year old (17.1 h.) gelding-thoroughbred Sal Dali, spent the week at Rolex, which ran from April 25-28.

“This year was easier for me and much more fun than last year,” Perkins said. “I most especially

want to thank my entire support group including Tryon House, and the many people who are behind me from Tryon, it makes all of the difference in the world. I’m just a small operation, so it means a lot to me to proudly display Morris the Horse on my saddle bag and blankets.”

Morris the Horse is Tryon’s beloved landmark, a shy little horse standing on the corner of Trade and Pacolet Streets.

Out of all of the events at Rolex this year, Perkins felt she did her best in the show-jumping competition. Perkins relies on Sal Dali, a Dark Bay, off-the-track thoroughbred, who began jumping at the age of 7.

Last December, Perkins broke her arm, and last fall, Sal Dali suffered a strained front leg. However this year, both horse and rider felt perfect, according to Perkins.

Dressage was a bit more challenging for Sal Dali, who Perkins

said suffers from a noticeable amount of stage fright and tends to rush through the intensely scrutinized movements, which include the walk and rein back (stepping back five steps). In dressage, both horse and rider must become one

with each other, as they carefully articulate every movement with fluidity and a supple disposition.

“Certain aspects of dressage arena cause Sal to become nervous, (Continued on page 15)

• Perkins

(continued from page 14)

like the number of spectators, applause, loudspeakers and the enclosed environment of the arena itself,” said Perkins, referring to her horse.

In cross-country, however, the game changes and those same distractions actually work to their benefit.

“I think that Sal believes that he’s actually galloping at the Kentucky Derby, and he gives it everything he has,” Perkins explained.

With Rolex being a four-star event, the environment is noticeably different than other horse shows, with a comfortable feeling of competitive camaraderie.

“The riders at Rolex are so supportive, and it’s so exciting to have the chance talk to some of the greatest riders in the world,” said Perkins.

Perkins, who has been riding horses her entire life, was a standout at an early age with the United States Equestrian Team in the early 1970s. Perkins has evented internationally and is well aware of the cost of the competition and the amount of stress it places on her horse, which is not fond of long distance travel. For this reason, living and training near Tryon and traveling a relatively short distance to Lexington, makes Rolex Kentucky much more realistic.

“I love being close to my trainer, vets and supporters, all of which make Tryon and Rutherfordton a

great place to live,” Perkins said.

“The hills and valleys are so comfortable and I just love the benefits I receive from equine hydro/aquatred therapy (an equine rehab facility).”

Preparing for a high level event like Rolex requires a massive amount of training and dedication, and while Perkins admittedly did well this year, she believes there is always room for improvement.

“I have a lot of homework to do in order to compete next year,” Perkins said. “I have to work on my jumping, overall speed, and I need to find a better bit (a piece of horse tack), one that provides a more balance for the horse. I have to improve every aspect of my crosscountry technique, most especially my overall speed.”

Perkins is happy to be home from Kentucky.

“Sal always loses a little weight after these events, because he simply doesn’t feel like eating that much,” Perkins said.

Being home in Tryon will be the best place for both horse and rider to recharge and train for next year’s competition.

The Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event is one of four competitions that occur annually, which include Rolex Kentucky, Adelaide in Australia, Badminton and Burghley in England. For more information about Perkins, visit: www.bethperkinseventing.com.

TO THE

The Women’s Fellowship of the Tryon United Church of Christ (Congregational Church) is celebrating the 100th anniversary of organization on Sunday, May 5, with a special service and dinner.

One hundred years ago, in 1913, the Women’s Society of the Erskine Memorial Church of Tryon was officially established with the election of Anna Missildine as their first president.

The original mission statement of the group was (1) to enlist all of the women of the church in a fellowship of worship and service and (2) to promote missionary, welfare and social work in the church and community.

Eventually, the Women’s Society was reorganized as the Women’s Fellowship of the Congregational Church and continued to carry on with numerous projects. They have sponsored missionaries to 10 foreign countries, sponsored orphans and migrant worker camps, and the coal miners children’s fund, New Orleans Mission trips, and church youth scholarships.

Locally, they have supported Thermal Belt Outreach, Steps to HOPE, Hospice, Habitat, and Church Youth Mission trips. They have also supported Church Women United, Southern Women’s Conference, and delegates and the World Friendship Council. They have pro-

vided books for local elementary schools, the PTA lunch programs for children, helped the sick and infirm in the church and at St. Luke’s Hospital, and have sponsored Girl and Boy Scout Troops.

The community will know the Women’s Fellowship best by sponsoring luncheons and timely speakers several times a year and the Autumn Harvest Sale, which funded many of these programs.

They will celebrate the day with a special Women’s Chorus at service and a speaker from Asheville, Reverend Chrystal Cook, who is a Bible professor from AB Tech.
