Dental funds available to keep kids teeth healthy

by Samantha Hurst

The phrase “open wide” sends some into shivers and tenses their muscles. Health professionals locally are combating that reaction and a lack of dental care in youth by offering resources to parents who might be hindered by financial concerns.

Caroline Rodier with the Partnership for Children says introducing a child to a dentist early on in life prevents such anxiety and ensures better dental health throughout his or her life.

“Research has shown that if a child starts out with proper oral health they are more likely to have less cavities and be able to prevent worse dental issues down the road,” Rodier said.

Rodier said a child should visit a dentist by they time he or she is 1-year-old or when hir or her first tooth erupts.

“That’s to make sure the child’s mouth is developing properly and that everything is healthy,” Rodier said.

She said in Polk County one in three kids entering kindergarten has untreated tooth decay.

The Partnership for Children (PFC) an-

nounced last week that dental funds through the Health Services Resource Administration are currently available to assist children age birth to 5 with dental health needs.

Children must reside in Polk, McDowell or Rutherford counties to apply and their families must meet income eligibility guidelines, which amount to making 250 percent of the 2012 federal poverty level.

“Medicaid stops at 200 percent of the poverty level, so this reaches some families that make just a little too much money to qualify for Medicaid but they may still be struggling,” Rodier said.

Rodier said the money is awarded depending on the family’s particular situation. She said some families may have dental insurance but haven’t taken their children to the dentist because they can’t afford the copays.

If a family qualifies, a dental hygienist will complete an assessment to help the program decide how much to fund the dentist of the family’s choice.

Rodier said the money is paid directly to the dentist that performs the services.

ticed that the number of kids that don’t have dental homes is much less in Polk County and some of that certainly has to do with the fact that there is more education being done through Collins, daycare centers and the schools.”

The PFC funds are awarded on a rolling application process, with applications available at www.pfcfoothills.org, as well as the Collins Dental Clinic, Polk County Department of Social Services (DSS), Polk Health Department and Polk County Schools through Head Start and NC Preschool Program.

For more information, you can reach the Partnership for Children at 828-659-0460 or by email at caroline@pfcfoothills.org.

Children with Medicaid are not eligible for these funds but still have a resource through the Collins Dental Clinic in Columbus.

Collins Dental Clinic is a partnership between Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry and the Rutherford Polk McDowell District Health Department.

Collins treats patients from infant to 21 years of age. Patients on Medicaid and Health Choice insurance are accepted and offered a sliding fee scale. The center also sees uninsured patients from Polk and Rutherford counties.

day, July 18 and reviewed the report with police chief Chris Beddingfield where council affirmed its support of the police department. The study reported 72 speeding citations on city streets (not including I-26 or U.S. 74) between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2013.

The study included information on which roads citations were issued, how fast drivers were travelling and if the cited driver resides in the Town of Columbus, Polk County or outside of the county.

The majority of citations issued were to non-Columbus residents.

The most notable statistic from the study showed there was only one citation issued in Columbus for a speed less than 15 miles per hour over the speed limit and that speed was 14 mph over the limit.

“As you will see, there have not been any citations issued for slight violations of the speed limit, which has been alleged,” the study states.

“The lowest speed for which a citation was issued was 14 mph over the posted speed limit (the sole citation less than 15 mph over the posted limit), and the officer had received a speeding complaint on the vehicle which was stopped

and cited. The average speeding citation was issued at a speed of 17.67 mph over the posted speed limit during this time period.”

According to the study, which includes every speeding citation issued during the first six months of this year, there has been excessive speeding through Columbus with some speeds topping 100 mph. There was one citation issued for 100 mph in a 45 mph zone along Hwy. 108 and another issued for 118 mph in a 35 mph zone along Hwy. 108.

The study also compared total citations from previous years. In 2010 there were 51 speeding citations issued in 2011 there were 72 speeding citations and in 2012 there were 56 speeding citations issued during the same time period on city streets.

“Therefore, the Columbus Police Department is not being any more aggressive in the enforcement of the speed limit than in the previous three years,” states the report, “including during the tenure of (former) chief (Butch) Kennedy. Additionally, it must be taken into consideration that the number of officers in the department trained and certified to use (Continued on page 6)

RADAR or LIDAR for speed measurement and enforcement has nearly tripled since 2010.

Certainly more officers equipped with RADAR will lead to more citations being issued.”

The study continues to say that the Columbus Police Department continuously receives speeding complaints on Walker, Simms, Mills and Peak Streets, where concerned citizens and business owners want more enforcement actions taken.

“Based on the statistical data above, analyzing every speeding citation that was issued in the first six months of 2013, the assertion that Columbus is a ‘speed trap’ is baseless,” states the report. “It seems entirely reasonable that a seven person police department would issue 72 speeding citations in a six month period, or 1.71 speeding citations per full time officer per month.”

There were 43 speeding citations issued by all road officers, excluding the traffic officer, on I-26 and U.S. Hwy. 74 combined during the same time period with the study saying many of those citations were issued during joint operations with the N.C. State Hwy. Patrol and other agencies.

“Only eight speeding citations were issued on I-26 or U.S. Hwy. 74 by regular road officers in the department,” states the report, “or an average of 1.3 per month during the first half of 2013. This data shows that the officers of the Columbus Police Department spend

Friday, July 26, 2013

the majority of their time within the Columbus Town Limits and on surface streets within the town.”

Columbus Town Council members gave their support of the department with Mayor Eric McIntyre saying he agrees with Beddingfield 110 percent. He said typically people who complain are going to find someone other than themselves to blame.

Councilwoman Margaret Metcalf said she knows the police department’s job is not easy by any means.

“If we didn’t have them we’d be in a lot of trouble,” Metcalf said. “It’s unfortunate that things are said and things happen. One person says something and it ends up being the gospel when actually there’s no truth to it. I think the ones who have complaints and are doing the talking should come to council meetings and bring us proof, not hearsay. As far as I’m concerned I’m behind you and appreciate you very much.”

Beddingfield said there’s a reason they do their job and that is safety.

“It’s not popular but there’s a reason we do it,” said Beddingfield. “Accidents were cut almost in half last year in the city limits.”

Beddingfield also said Columbus had two residential break-ins in the city last year, which is almost unheard of.

The study showed between 2000 and 2012 larcenies and breaking and entering offenses have declined dramatically. There were almost 50 larcenies in 2000 compared to less than 20 larcenies in 2012, according to the report.

Derbyshire hosted a workshop focused on educating new horse owners to the area about equestrian related resources. (photo submitted)

‘New to Polk County’ equine workshop at Derbyshire

by Judy Heinrich

Twenty-four local horse owners gathered for the “New To Polk County” equine workshop presented at Derbyshire on July 23.

According to Derbyshire Operations Manager Jennifer Dennis, the topic was chosen to help horse owners new to the area.

One of the new residents attending was Sandy Malliris, who recently moved from Pennsylvania with her husband, Rick.

“Bringing horses in from out of state, I want to know what to expect here – there are many things that are completely different from Pennsylvania. I hope to get all the information I need,” Malliris said.

The opening presentation was “Why Horses Matter in the Foothills” by Polk County Economic Development Director Libbie Johnson.

Johnson covered the role of horses in the county’s history, social structure and present economy. The area’s horse community contributes to the economy through local jobs including veterinarians, farriers, barn and fence builders, tack and feed shops, hay farmers and dealers, trade and construction, farm employment and more, and through tourism related to horse shows and other equestrian events.

Johnson pointed out that NC is

one of the Top 10 states in the US in number of horses and is the only Top 10 state that does not have a horse-racing track contributing to its number.

“That tells me that NC has a very strong horse economy,” Johnson says. “And Polk County is near the top: with more than 6,100 equines we’re ranked 16th out of 100 counties, but we’ve got one horse for every 3.3 people, so we’re number 1 in horse per capita.”

Horse-show related visitors are estimated to spend on average $170 per person per day for meals, fuel, lodging, horse supplies, entertainment and other retail, for a direct impact in the millions of dollars.

With the economic recovery under way, FENCE and Harmon Field are seeing increases in the number of people showing, and the addition of the planned White Oak Equestrian Center in Green Creek should dramatically increase equine tourism, Johnson said.

Polk County’s charitable organizations received more than $250,000 in 2012 from benefit horse shows, the Western Carolina Hunter Pace series and special events, as well as individual equestrian-related gifts.

• Workshop (continued from page 10)

The workshop’s second presentation was “Happy Horsekeeping in Tryon, N.C.” by Dr. Karen Reynolds of Tryon Equine Hospital.

Reynolds covered grasses and other forage in local pastures; a comparison of hays readily available here; how our clay soils, whether wet or dry, can affect hoof and leg soundness; environmental factors such as molds, pollens, fire ants and other insects; and state-of-the-art therapeutic options available locally, including the MREquine mobile MRI facility and Still Creek Farm’s hydrotherapy Aquatred system, a water-submerged treadmill used for rehabbing injured horses or those who otherwise need conditioning.

A subject of particular interest was laminitis, a disease of the hoof that has numerous causes but none greater than overexposure to lush spring grass growth. Unlike many

areas, our mild climate means that horse owners here have to be cautious of a secondary flush of new growth in the fall months.

Penny Sullivan, who moved from Massachusetts in 2012 with her husband, Charlie, said she learned a lot from both presentations.

“All of the economic information was very interesting, learning about the impact of the horse community on jobs and tourism. And I really appreciated Dr. Reynold’s review of the area’s grasses and hay; that was very helpful,” Sullivan said.

The equine workshop was the third in a series of workshops that Derbyshire has presented, including two on home and garden design. More programs are planned for the future, including a possible repeat or expansion of the “New to Polk County Equine Workshop.”

Future events will be announced in the Tryon Daily Bulletin and on Derbyshire’s website, DerbyshireNC.com.

Tryon Fine Arts Center exhibit recognizes Holland Brady Aug. 14-30 In recognition of the long life and extensive career of architect Holland Brady, there will be an exhibition of his work at the Tryon Fine Arts Center beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 14 and running until Aug. 30. A reception, hosted

by Brady’s partner, Dean Trakas will be held on Thursday, Aug. 15 from 6-8 p.m.

The event, which is sponsored by friends and associates, will present plans, drawings and photographs of a number of residences and other buildings designed

by Brady, as well as items representative of other interests in his life. Computer-aided design was anathema to Brady, who used only his imagination, his incomparable breadth of knowledge and his pen throughout his career of 62 years, during which he worked on more than 700 structures.

This skill and artistry is clearly evident in the exquisitely detailed drawings that will be on display.

Born in Tryon in 1925 at the old St. Luke’s Hospital, which was then located above what is now Owens Pharmacy on Trade Street, he attended Tryon High School in the same class as his future wife, Carolyn Flynn.

Brady spent a year at Clemson University before serving as a medic in the US Army in Europe during World War II. After returning from Europe in 1946, he continued his education at the University of Michigan, graduating in 1950. After graduating he worked for architects Paul Sch-

weikher in Chicago, Ill., Roger Bailey in Ann Arbor, Mich. and Anthony Lord in Asheville, N.C. before returning to Tryon to assist Shannon Meriwether, becoming his partner in 1953.

He continued to work in Tryon, forming his own company after Meriwether’s retirement. In the 1960s and 1970s, he occasionally collaborated with his brotherin-law, Ligon Flynn, in designing several homes in Tryon and the student housing at the Brevard Music Center, for which they

2006 Lexus RX 330 Mileage: 118,087 Green • 4-doors 5-speed Automatic 3.3L V6 24V $15,900

received an AIA Design Award.

Later in his career, he was joined by Julie McIntyre and Dean Trakas, with whom he worked until shortly before his death on June 20 of this year.

One of their final projects together is the renovation and extension of the former St. Luke’s Hospital Exchange building on Trade Street, which is now nearing completion.

He was honored by the Town of Tryon with the proclamation of Holland Brady Day by Mayor

Alan Peoples on June 21, the 88th anniversary of his birth.

The exhibition will be on display during their opening hours at the Tryon Fine Arts Center from Aug. 14 through Aug. 30: Tuesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

There will also be a smaller exhibit recognizing Brady at the Lanier Library during the same period.

Donna’s compassion and love, along with her great staff, are bringing life back to Auntie Peg when it seemed all hope was gone.

She’s beginning to get some luster back into her coat and the photo I took is one week after she was brought in. I’d gone to her cage to visit and she stood up and took a few tentative steps toward me.

“Oh how wonderful,” I exclaimed, tears of joy welling up in my eyes.

“She’s getting stronger Lennie,” I heard Donna say from behind me.

I turned and witnessed a smile of joy, love, accomplishment, pride and so many other things rolled into one. I realized at that moment that though I have been dealing with some great little ladies lately, I was gazing upon the most important one of all.

Thanks for listening.

How to choose the right executor for your will Savvy Senior Dear Savvy Senior, What are my options for choosing an executor for my will? I was considering asking one of my kids to do it but I don’t think any of them are up for the job. What can you tell me? ~ Still Kicking Dear Kicking, Choosing an executor – the person or institution you put in charge of administering your estate and carrying out your final wishes – is one of the most important decisions in preparing a will.

Picking the right executor can help ensure the prompt, accurate distribution of your possessions with a minimum of family friction. Some of the duties required include: • Filing court papers to start the probate process (generally required by law to determine the

will’s validity).

• Taking an inventory of everything in the estate.

• Using your estate’s funds to pay bills, including taxes, funeral costs, etc.

• Handling details like terminating credit cards, and notifying banks and government agencies like Social Security and the post office of the death.

• Preparing and filing final income tax returns.

• Distributing assets to the beneficiaries named in the will.

Given all the responsibility, the ideal candidate should be someone who is honest, dependable, well organized, good with paperwork and vigilant about meeting deadlines.

Who to choose Most people think first of naming a family member, especially a spouse or child, as executor. If, however, you don’t have an obvious family member to choose, you

may want to ask a trusted friend, but be sure to choose someone in good health or younger than you who will likely be around after you’re gone.

Also, if your executor of choice happens to live in another state, you’ll need to check your state’s law to see if it imposes any special requirements. Some states require an out-of-state executor to be a family member or a beneficiary, some require a bond to protect your heirs in case of mismanagement, and some require the appointment of an instate agent.

Also keep in mind that if the person you choose needs help settling your estate, they can always call on an expert like an attorney or tax accountant to guide them through the process, with your estate picking up the cost.

If, however, you don’t have a friend or relative you feel comfortable with, you could name a

“Picking the right executor can help ensure the prompt, accurate distribution of your possessions with a minimum of family friction.”

-- Jim Miller

third party executor like a bank, trust company or a professional who has experience dealing with estates. If you need help locating a pro, the National Association of Estate Planners and Councils (naepc.org) and the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys (naela.org) are great resources that provide directories on their websites to help you find someone.

Executor fees Most family members and close friends (especially if they are a beneficiary) serve for free, but if you opt for a third party executor it will cost your estate.

Executor fees are set by each state and typically run anywhere from 1 to 5 percent depending on the size of the estate.

Get approval Whoever you choose to serve as your executor, be sure you get their approval first before naming him or her in your will. And once you’ve made your choice, go over your financial details in your will with that person, and let him or her know where you keep all your important documents and financial information. This will make it easier on them after you’re gone.

The Lanier Library has hired a summer intern to help out among the shelves with the help of a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation.

Kelsey Staffelbach, a rising junior at Polk County High School, has been helping with inventory several hours a week since June and will continue to work throughout the summer.

This is, she said, her first job, preferred over working at a Hendersonville fast food restaurant.

She has plans to attend medical school after graduation.

Staffelbach had worked previously in the library at Polk County Middle School. She is, she said, a lover of reading herself, and enjoys working among the shelves in the historic library. Doing inventory, she said, “makes me want to check out all the books.” As a gift to her family, she bought a family membership to the library with some of

Vonda Krahn, the library’s administrator, said, “We are very happy to have her. She’s very reliable and works hard while she is here, and we appreciate the fact that the Polk County Community Foundation grant gave us the opportunity to have her.”

The Lanier Library is the oldest civic institution in Tryon, founded in 1890 by a determined group of women, and is one of only a handful of membership libraries still operating in the United States. The library was named for poet Sidney Lanier, who died in Tryon and whose widow donated two of his books to start the library’s collection, which today numbers over 23,000 books, periodicals CDs, DVDs, VHS and cassette tapes.

In a nod to the past and to those who still value traditional ways, the library has kept its

Riparian Buffers and their importance

With the recent abundance of rain in the area and especially with the erosion that follows, it seems a perfect time to discuss the importance of riparian buffers.

First, what is a riparian buffer?

A riparian buffer is the vegetated land adjacent to a stream or water body. This vegetation benefits water quality and habitat by helping to regulate temperature, add organic matter (leaves and twigs), assist in pollution reduction and by providing wildlife habitat.

Lack of riparian buffers along streams and water bodies result in Reliable Tank Line is accepting applications and offering excess stream bank erosion.

Without proper riparian buffers, stream bank erosion and sedimentation of waterways is all too common. Sediment and other nonpoint source pollutants come from many sources and make their way into our waterways through surface runoff. When land disturbing activities occur, soil particles (sediment), nitrogen, phosphorus, pesticides and fecal coliform bacteria are transported by surface water and are often deposited into streams, lakes and wetlands. These pollutants can affect an aquatic ecosystem in a number of ways. Excess nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) can cause algal blooms, fecal coliform bacteria can be an indicator of waste-borne disease and pesticides can kill or sicken fish and aquatic invertebrates.

The loss of these valuable vegetative zones results in reduced water quality, reduced wildlife and fish populations, causes serious property damage (bank erosion), and loss of valuable agricultural lands. It also results in increased

**NEW HIRE BONUS** **NEW HIRE BONUS**

water temperatures and decreased dissolved oxygen in the water, decreasing aquatic life. The loss of shade by clearing along waterways exposes soils to drying by wind and sunlight and reduces the water storage ability of the riparian area.

If there is not a buffer for runoff water to spread over, it can cut channels into the land, allowing the sediment and sediment-attached pollutants to flow directly into a stream or waterway. Sediment in our waterways is the largest single nonpoint source pollutant and one of the primary factors in the deterioration of surface water quality in the United States.

Riparian buffers are the most stable and effective ways to protect our streams and waterways. In North Carolina, natural riparian buffers are forested. They include a combination of native trees, shrubs, grasses and herbs that form a plant community adjacent to a stream or water body.

How do riparian buffers work?

Buffer vegetation slows and filters runoff water above ground, causing sediment to settle out and be deposited in the buffer, not in our waterways. The vegetative buffer allows water to percolate through the soil into the groundwater table, instead of running over the surface of the land, picking up sediment in the process. In many locations, groundwater moves toward streams, and it often carries nitratenitrogen and sometimes pesticides.

Nitrate, a pollutant that moves in groundwater, can be diluted in a riparian buffer. Plants use it, but more importantly, it is changed to nitrogen gas through denitrification, and nitrogen gas poses no harm to the environment. Riparian buffers that contain a diverse mixture of plants work the best, since (Continued on page 25)

• Riparian Buffers (continued from page 24)

different plants have different rooting structures. Some plants utilize the top several inches of soil, while others, such as taproots penetrate deeper into the soil. These roots not only remove nutrients but they also sstabilize steam banks.

What are the benefits of having, preserving, and/or restoring riparian buffers? Buffers perform many environmentally, economically and socially significant functions. They maintain and improve water quality by protecting water resources from nonpoint pollutants from both urban and agricultural activities. Buffers slow floodwaters, thereby helping to maintain stable stream banks and protect downstream property.

Slowing floodwaters allows the riparian zone to function as a site of sediment deposition, trapping sediments that build stream banks and would otherwise degrade streams and rivers. By slowing down floodwaters and rainwater runoff, riparian vegetation allows water to soak into the ground and recharge groundwater. Buffers shade streams and regulate fluctuations in water temperatures which help maintain fish habitat, especially for cold-water fish such as trout. Buffers can increase the amount and variety of wildlife and songbirds because they provide a wider range of habitat and food and they are an important travel way for wildlife.

What is the best kind of riparian buffer? The debate continues and there are many schools of thought on the topic. It can get fairly complex, taking into consideration site characteristics such as hydrology, topography, geology, land use and value. However, the basic rule of thumb is the wider the buffer, the better for water quality and wildlife, but even a narrow buffer is better than no buffer. An ideal mountain land buffer consists of a continuous forest along the stream or water body. However, for nonforested land, you could use a two-part buffer: a primary buffer consisting of a forested strip next to the stream or water source, and a

secondary working buffer between the non-forested land use area and the forested buffer. This secondary buffer can consist of grasses, shrubs, or additional forest, and would be available for nonintrusive uses such as haying, logging, or taking cuttings for horticultural production.

It is important to remember that sediment, fecal coliform bacteria, and nutrient levels all significantly increase when livestock are kept near a stream. The stream bank and buffer benefit greatly from removing or reducing livestock access in the stream bank buffer.

The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) has worked with the state of North Carolina and area landowners to protect countless miles of streams, creeks and rivers in the area, preserving a natural riparian buffer. PAC has also helped to protect thousands of acres of land within the watershed, aiding in the quality of water in our area. Our beautiful waterways are an asset of the community worth protecting and preserving for future generations.

For more information or to discuss how you can permanently protect a riparian buffer on your property or land within the watershed, contact PAC at 828-8595060 or e-mail, landprotection@ pacolet.org.

PAC is a 501(c) (3) non-profit conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to protect and conserve the area’s natural resources (PACs mission). PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agreements) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain significant federal, state and local tax benefits.

PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conservation and provide education programs emphasizing responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love.

LaurelHurst tours NC Arboretum

LaurelHurst residents recently hopped on the bus and headed up the mountain to Asheville where they had lunch and toured the beautiful gardens of the NC Arboretum. Lunch was spent at the Savory Thyme Cafe on the grounds overlooking interesting plantings and the mountains in the distance and eating sandwiches.

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

PCHS softball contributes five All-State players; seven All-District Editor’s note: An incomplete version of this article ran in the Friday, July 19 paper. The Bulletin is happy to tell the full story.

by Mark Schmerling

Another commendation proves just how good Polk County High School’s varsity softball program was this past season.

Seven players from the 2013 team received All-District honors, with five of those chosen as All-State.

The Wolverines this past spring, were 18-5 (including head coach Jeff Wilson’s 300th win since being named as head coach), following up a 21-4 mark last year.

This year’s All-District honorees are Maddy Foy, Katie Ruff, Brittany Jones, Shalyn Brown, Amber Lynch, Ashley Kropp and Hayley Kropp.

Of those seven, only Ruff and Lynch were not selected for All-State, though Wilson can’t understand why. All Ruff, a senior, did was pitch her team to 17 wins against just four losses while hitting a respectable .262. Lynch, another senior, batted .400. Only 40 players from AA schools received AllState honors. Over 12 percent of those are from Polk. Players are nominated for All-District by school class. Only All-District recipients are considered for All-State honors.

“I’m ecstatic,” said Wilson, “as head coach, to have so many girls honored. I’m so proud of that. I know how hard these

girls have worked. We need to recognize that.”

The Players As a sophomore splitting her time between second base and the outfield, Maddy Foy also hit .322.

“Maddy Foy has the type of focus you dream of as a coach,” observed Wilson. “Maddy has the ‘it’ factor.She brings ‘it’ every day- running, sprinting, diving. She’s used to winning, and expects to win.”

Freshman Hayley Kropp hit .365. In addition to making allstate, both Kropp and Foy made the North Carolina State games from District 8. At one point during this past season Hayley (Continued on page 33)

Kropp reached base 17 consecutive times.

“She has a lot of offensive abilities,” said Wilson.

“An amazing defensive presence,” is Wilson’s assessment of sophomore catcher Ashley Kropp, who pounded the ball at a .360 pace. Among her strengths are game management and pick-offs, added Wilson, who described Kropp as “a little catching machine. She runs the defense.”

Brittany Jones, a junior, hit .385. “She’s one of the most decorated players in the state... definitely a college prospect,” said Wilson. The sure-handed and cat-quick Jones played second and third with alertness, intensity and a ‘hit-the-ball-tome’ attitude. Jones, “a very talented player,” said Wilson, has been honored three times each as three-time all conference and all-area, and twice as all-district.

Wilson said centerfielder Shalyn Brown brought something intangible to the game.

“I’m really proud of her, the amazing leadership she showed and the swagger she brought to the team,” Wilson reported.

Brown also brought something very tangible, leading the squad in doubles, triples and home runs. “Shalyn Brown is a rare, rare athlete. We’ll miss her and Katie and Amber.”

Wilson noted that in spite of the swagger, nothing show-offy, his players work hard and “we just pull for each other — team first.

“I’m proud of these girls,” summarized Wilson. These selections, he said are “a testament to how hard these girls work.

I’m all excited about (Polk) softball 2014.”

In 2012, Polk boasted two All-State winners, Alyssa Montgomery and Jamie Hrobak.

Hrobak was two-time district pitcher of the year. Montgomery was four-time all-state.

Representing Tryon and Polk County’s colonial past Much of Tryon and Polk County’s colonial history is just now beginning to be more widely recognized by local residents.

Recent preservation efforts by area history enthusiasts and generous funding support to implement preservation and educational programs have combined to create opportunities both to understand and to celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of our founding colonial forbears.

Consider the recent designation by the National Park Service of Alexander’s Ford on the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail and you realize the vast importance of local place and local action during the southern campaign of the American Revolution. You might also recognize how vital a role the regional patriot militia played to secure American
