DOT: Secondary roads should be clear todayLongest school closing for snow since 1993 blizzardby Leah Justice

Accumulation of snow on Monday, Jan. 10 wasn’t the worst the area has ever seen, but temperatures that have stayed below freezing and kept ice on the roads have trapped many residents in their homes.

Polk County schools have been closed all week and were likely not going to be open again today, making it prob-ably the longest school closing causing by weather since the blizzard of 1993.

The N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) has been working 24 hour shifts all week and were hopeful that all sec-ondary roads would be clear by today, possibly by Thursday

afternoon, Jan. 13. Main roads and interstates were cleared early in the week.

The Polk County DOT has been working its 11 trucks and one grader 24 hours a day, with 15 employees (12 working the roads) during the day and eight employees working nights, ac-cording to Polk County DOT supervisor Thomas Hall.

Mitzi Lindsey

by Gloria Underwood, Ph.D.

When the horses round the bend at the 65th Block House Steeplechase Races Mitzi Lindsey expects to feel somewhat out of place.

For the first time in 38 years, she’ll watch from a front row box as a spectator instead of being the woman running things behind the scenes.

Miriam “Mitzi” Lindsey began working for the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club (TR&HC) in 1972, when the office was located in Oak Hall Hotel.

When she retires in 2011 from the job that has been her lifelong adventure, it will the be end of an era for TR&HC.

TR&HC president Chuck Lingerfelt said he has consid-ered it a pleasure to work with Mitzi for the last seven years.

“We feel a deep apprecia-tion and affection for Mitzi that is difficult to put into words. She has been an unwavering constant with TR&HC, always being there for the club,” Lin-gerfelt said. “She has been the spirit and embodiment of the TR&HC for 38 years.”

How many people do you know who can say they’ve held the same job for 38 years? In this age of mobility and in-creasingly high-tech demands, it is quite an accomplishment. When you factor in 17 different presidents and an ever-changing board of directors, with as many

David and Laura. It took several years to find

the position with TR&HC, or for it to find her. Although she was working for Howard Greene, owner of G&K Fur-niture in Columbus, it was her experience as secretary for the Skyuka Saddle Club that brought

absolutely gorgeous. I thought I’d gone to heaven,” Lindsey said.

Back in Kirtland, Ohio, she began to scrutinize the classi-fied ads in her parents’ copy of the Tryon Daily Bulletin, where

she found a whole new life: a job in Tryon

teaching riding les-sons and taking care of stables. She made the move to Tryon in November 1961 and never looked back.

She bought her first horse w h e n s h e moved, get-

ting a two-for-one deal: the horse was pregnant when she bought her. Lindsey belonged to Skyuka Saddle Club, where she would ride her horse in barrel races and pole bending. In the years that followed, she married and had two children,

different personalities, it is an even more amazing feat.

Lindsey became involved with horses when she was un-der the care of her older sister, who would set her on one of the horses at Chagrin Valley Hunt Club in Ohio to keep her quietly out of the way. She has loved horses ever since.

From rid-ing lessons at camp to rid-ing at board-ing school in Massachu-setts to help-ing with the horses at her father’s camp, Lindsey was around horses during most of her youth.

Then during her spring va-cation in 1961, she discovered Tryon.

“The leaves were out and everything was in bloom; it was (Continued on page 4)

“We used 600 tons of salt when it started Monday morn-ing,” Hall said.

Hall said getting all the roads clear has been difficult this week mainly because of the sleet and freezing rain that came on top of the snow Monday af-ternoon as well as temperatures that remained below freezing. He said if it weren’t for the ice, all the roads would have been cleared much earlier.

Polk County Schools Supt. Bill Miller was doubtful Thurs-day that school would be open

Friday, Jan. 14. He said this week’s snow couldn’t have come at a worse time, with exams and state testing having been scheduled this week.

“It’s just a real problem out there with these kinds of tem-peratures,” said Miller. “One of the things that people may not understand is how many turn-arounds in driveways our buses have to make.”

Polk County Schools has 34 buses, with approximately 1,000 of its 2,600 total students riding.

her to the attention of TR&HC. Approached several times to be-come secretary, she always gave the same answer: “Wait until my kids are in school.”

Arthur Far-well and Dr. Jack Bradshaw came to her again in 1972, and the tim-ing was finally right.

I t s t a r t ed out as a part-time position, but the job has changed a great deal over the years. After five or six years, it grew to full-time responsi-bility and eventually, in 1995, required an assistant. In 2003, Laura Lindsey Weicker joined her mother at TR&HC as assis-tant director. In 2007, Lindsey and Weicker changed positions, with Weicker becoming the executive director.

The work was always excit-ing for Lindsey.

“I loved my job. Other peo-ple just hate going to work. Not me. Every day was different,” she said.

TR&HC volunteer, Betsy Miner, has worked with Lindsey for many years and has a great deal of respect for her.

“She was born for this job.

She goes with the flow, and that flow affected a lot of people in the surrounding communities,” Miner said.

Miner gives Mitzi tremen-dous credit for facilitating that flow and for fostering the sense

o f f a m i l y throughout the c o m m u n i t y, n o t i n g t h a t “ s o m e t i m e s that’s not easy with al l the characters in-volved!”

Lingerfelt said it’s impos-sible to know

the real number of hours Lindsey spent in dedication to the local horse community.

“It’s impossible to tell all of the ways Mitzi has positively affected this area’s horse busi-ness and civic communities,” he said. “I have no idea how many hours she has spent volunteer-ing for FENCE, Green Creek Hounds, Polk County Jaycees, Thermal Belt Rotary, chamber of ommerce and countless other organizations in the past.”

Mitzi still plans to be around and to help out as needed.

“Mom has taught me so much,” Weicker said. “Even though I’ve been with TR&HC for almost 10 years, I feel I’ll never know all that she knows about running the events and the office. It’s nice to know that she’s just a phone call away when I need her.”

“She was born for this job. She goes with the flow, and that flow affected a lot of people in the surrounding communities.”

to think about is putting high school kids out there driving,” Miller said.

Miller says the schools could go on a delay, but if school begins at 10 a.m., that means buses are on the roads at 8 a.m.

Although the main roads are clear, many areas, especially in Green Creek, Tryon and Saluda, were still not safe to drive as of yesterday. Temperatures were forecast to drop to the low to mid teens last night.

B e f o r e the storm hit, s c h o o l w a s s c h e d u l e d to be closed on Monday, Tuesday and We d n e s d a y of next week. M o n d a y i s Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and Tuesday and Wednes-day were required remediation and retesting days following exams.

Miller says Polk students will likely have to attend on Monday, Jan. 17 and will take exams and testing Tuesday through Friday of next week. The school will have to be closed the following Monday for retesting, and remediation or teachers reviewing tests will be done next Saturday, Miller said.

“It just came at the worst possible week it could have come for us,” Miller said. “I know parents are frustrated, but we’re just caught between a rock and a hard place.”

Miller says he hates to have school Monday, but it’s not fair to high school students to be out of school all week then start testing on Tuesday. Monday

will be a day of review for the high school to ensure the stu-dents are ready to begin exams Tuesday.

Miller says two of the make-up days for this week can be taken care of next week, then another in February and another in March. That will leave just two days left for snow and if those are taken later this winter, the school year will have to be extended, Miller said.

Tryon recorded five inches of snow Monday, Jan. 10, with other areas seeing slightly more. Little of it had melted as of yes-terday. Temperatures were fore-

cast to drop to the low to mid teens last night.

The snow and cold tem-peratures have kept area emer-gency response and road crews busy all week.

Tryon street c rews t r av-eled 312 miles

scraping and sanding this week, with two trucks and nine tons of sand. The town also used two backhoes to clean parking spaces on Main and Pacolet Streets downtown, according to Tryon officials. The Tryon Police Department answered nine calls for service and the town’s dispatch ran a 24-hour shift Monday instead of 12 hours.

The Tryon Fire Department spent four hours last Friday, Jan. 7, and eight hours Sunday, Jan. 9 prepping for the snow, including fueling trucks and preparing chains. Monday the fire department delivered medi-cations to a resident at the top of Hogback Mountain Road and did road checks and assisted the Tryon Police Department with

stranded motorists.Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis

said overall this event was not terrible in terms of emergencies because the storm came dur-ing the night hours and people stayed off the roads during the storm.

The Polk County Sheriff’s

Office has answered several calls for help involving strand-ed residents. Officers have de-livered firewood, fuel, kerosene and heaters to residents who couldn’t get out.

The Columbus public works department had almost finished scraping town-owned roads yesterday afternoon. Colum-bus has a pickup truck with a plow and another truck with a

sander. The crews have been working overtime this week and used approximately five tons of sand.

Polk County offices were closed Monday but reopened Tuesday, Jan. 11 thanks to the county’s purchase last summer of a Ford F250 maintenance truck. Using the truck, the county was able to clear parking lots in order to open offices.

Duke Energy/Progress Energy merger to create nation’s largest utility

Duke Energy of Charlotte and Progress Energy of Raleigh are planning a merger that will create the largest utility company in the nation.

The combined company, which will be called Duke En-ergy and be headquartered in Charlotte, would serve more than seven million customers in six territories. Most of the service

area is in North Carolina, north-ern South Carolina, northern and central Florida, and southern and central In-diana.

Jim Rogers, chairman and chief executive at Duke, said the merger will allow the companies to improve shareholder value and more eco-nomically invest in an “array of

new technologies to reduce our environmental footprints and become more efficient.”

“Combining Duke Energy and Progress

Energy creates a utility with greater financial strength and enhanced ability to meet our chal-

lenges head-on,” he said.The merger is subject to ap-

proval from shareholders along with federal and state regulators, who will consider whether the merger maintains a competi-tive business environment and benefits customers. Combining operations is expected to result in operational cost savings that will allow a rate cut for customers.

“Together, we can leverage our best practices to achieve even higher levels of safety, op-erational excellence and customer satisfaction, and save money for customers by combining our fuel purchasing power and the dispatch of our generating plants,” said Bill Johnson, chair-man, president and chief executive officer of Progress Energy.

Rogers is expected to become the executive chairman of the new organization, while Johnson is expected to be president and chief executive officer. Job cuts are expected as part of the merger. Duke has about 18,600 employees, while Progress has about 11,000. Duke cut about 1,500 jobs when it merged with Cinergy in 2006. As part of the merger with Progress, Duke said it plans to reduce job cuts through attrition and retire-ments.

***Conservation groups have

acquired the first piece of what will be the largest undeveloped, privately-owned tract of land to be permanently protected in Western North Carolina. The Conservation Fund paid $5.5 mil-lion to acquire 786 acres along the North Carolina-South Carolina state line that was part of an 8,000-acre tract owned by former U.S. Rep Charles Taylor.

Taylor’s Champion Cattle and Tree Farms agreed last year to sell the tract along U.S. 276 south of Brevard for $33 million to the Conservation Fund and the Caro-lina Mountain Land Conservancy. The conservation groups said they

plan to turn over the entire tract to the state for recreational use once all of the land is conserved.

Kieran Roe, executive director of Carolina Mountain Land Con-servancy, said the purchase of 786 acres last month creates momen-tum to move forward and protect “the entire thing.” A donation from Fred and Alice Stanback of Salis-bury and a $1 million grant from the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund provided money for the purchase. The conservation groups said they are seeking private, state and federal funding to acquire the remaining land, a task that was made more difficult by the slump-ing economy.

The 786 acres protected last month includes part of the 70-mile Foothil ls Trail and part of Sassafras Moun-tain, the highest

peak in South Carolina.***

Perceptis Inc., a company that provides desk and customer support service for the higher education market, plans to create about 200 jobs at a new facility in downtown Greenville, S.C. Over the next five years the Ohio-based company plans to invest $1.125 million in the new support service center on West McBee Street. Since it was formed in 2004, Per-ceptis has grown to serve more than 100 institutions and 1.5 mil-lion end users.

Perceptis’ expansion was sup-ported by $6 million from private equity firm Frontier Capital, one of four funds in the S.C. Venture Capital Authority/InvestSC pro-gram. Perceptis plans to begin hiring in January.

“Red Hat is a homegrown, high-tech, global brand and we fought hard to keep them here,” said N.C. Governor Bev Perdue.

The average wage of the new jobs created by Red Hat is ex-pected to exceed $80,000, nearly double the average Wake County wage of $42,692. The expansion was support by a Job Develop-ment Invest Grant awarded by the state’s Economic Investment Committee, which could provide as much as $15 million in benefits for the company if it achieves the economic development targets.

the stories of Green river Cove

by Beauford Arledge

Coon huntingWorking for the past nine

years, Beauford Arledge, 84, gathered his memories into a book that only he could write, “The Stories of Green River Cove.” With permission, the Tryon Daily Bulletin is sharing excerpts from the book with our readers. If you would like to purchase a copy of “Sto-ries of Green River Cove,” call Arledge’s daughter, Su-san Howell at 828-894-3724.

Sitting around listening to my dad tell of his experiences at coon hunting made me want to go. It was hard waiting until the leaves fell off the trees. Cold weather came and it drove the snakes in. The leaves needed to be off the trees so you could get a good view up the tree and find a coon. Maybe all you saw were his eyes.

I tried to keep a hunting dog, but it was hard to have a good coon dog, one that was a good hunter, that would bark only on coon tracks, that would tree up the right tree where the coon was and stay with the tree till you could get to him. To have a good coon dog like that was a prize.

It took lots of training and hunting for him to learn that you just wanted him to bark on a coon track. Dogs are like every other thing: they were made to do a job, but some dogs just don’t make a good coon dog.

In those days, most people let their dogs run loose, and this created problems. People would steal them and sell them for money. There was always a chance of a dog being bitten by a snake and lots of times they would die.

I can remember a time when I had two dogs at the right age to train. One fall evening, I was carrying them out to see if they would run a coon. I knew where some coons were feeding on corn, and turned the dogs loose. They found a deer to track. This was

the last time I ever saw them. I was told someone saw them in the road the next morning, across the river, about three miles from where I turned them loose.

Hugh was working in the mill at this time. Someone he knew sold him two black and tan dogs, and brought them home. I was

excited that we could have our own coon dogs, but they were y o u n g d o g s and would have to be trained.

They were old enough to start training.

It was a job to break them to run what you wanted them to run – foxes, rabbits and deer. And of course the old polecat. We usu-ally ran across junk tracks when coons were what we were hunting for. Opossums were good to teach the dogs to tree and run a track.

In these times, distemper among young dogs was common. It was something like a bad head cold that people get. Distemper in itself didn’t kill or weaken the dog – pneumonia is what killed. These two dogs caught distem-per. We gave them sulfur drugs, but that didn’t seem to help. We decided to run some tar and smoke them in tar and feathers. We went out and found an old rich pine stump, split it up unto small splinters and placed them under mother’s iron wash pot turned over on a flat rock. We tilted the rock just enough so the tar would run out.

It was time to build the fire over the wash pot. It had to be hot to cook the pine inside the wash pot. After some time, about a gallon of tar began to run out. Of course, we didn’t need it all for this job, but I didn’t know how well it would keep.

We put some of the tar in a bucket, along with some chicken feathers, set the tar on fire and let it burn a little bit. We smothered the fire by covering the bucket,

and then we were ready. We pulled a tow sack open at

both ends over the dog's head, but the dog didn’t like this. We really had a fight on our hands. We put the other end of the sack over the smoking bucket of tar and feathers. For this process the dog couldn’t stay with his head in the sack but for a short time. This meant taking his head out of the sack and putting it back maybe three or four times. It made the dog weak. The one that had pneumonia died, and the other one lived. I told myself I would never do this again.

The one that lived made a fair coon dog you could depend on. If he barked on a track, then it was probably a coon. I trained him with a dog Boo Newman had. She was one of the best coon dogs I have ever known. In treeing, she would fight the younger dog away from the tree, sit at the foot of the tree looking up or standing up on the tree and barking every breath.

Later on, when I was hunt-ing him by himself, oftentimes he wouldn’t go to the tree. This created a problem finding the tree that the coon was up. He would have been a good coon dog if it had not been for this problem. He would stand away from the tree looking up and barking.

I can remember a time when working in the mill on the second shift and coming home about 11 at night. He would meet me at the car, wanting to go hunting, but I didn’t like to go hunting by myself. There is something about being out in the dark mountain by one’s self, just you, the dog and other wild animals.

I can remember going when the falls on the branch I had to climb over were covered in ice. I had told no one where I was going. If I fell when would I be found? Just some of the things I had to think about.

It was not unusual to spend all night coon hunting. I didn’t go too many times by myself, as it was lots more fun to have someone to hunt with.

They braved the treacherous trip around the lake in their four-wheel-drive pick-up to bring me into work. A warm thank you to Ed and Vicky for coming to my rescue. I sure appreciate it.

Wednesday I received a call from Bos Vining, who with her husband Seth, used to own the Tryon Daily Bulletin. She wanted to know how we were doing at the Bulletin. It was my first conversation with her and I

was sure glad I could tell her we were doing fine. That, in spite of the weather, we didn’t miss a day of printing.

We had employees who walked a mile to get to work through the snow and ice, others borrowed four-wheel vehicles to make the trip, picking up others on the way. All pitched in, doing whatever was necessary to make sure the Tryon Daily Bulletin published each day.

If your paper was late, we hope you will understand, and if you missed a copy you can pick up one up at our office. Stay warm and stay safe – Mother Nature is busy this year.

Betty Ramsey is the publisher of the Tryon Daily Bulletin. Her email address is betty.ramsey@tryondailybulletin.com.

Turns out winter in the Ther-mal Belt isn’t quite what I was expecting my first year in Try-on.

I’m warm-natured at heart, have always loved the sun and the warm weather, and in doing my research about the area the term Thermal Belt caught this warm-weather lover’s attention.

When we moved here my husband encouraged me to buy an SUV, told me I was going to need it in the winter. I laughed and said, “We live in the Thermal Belt – it will be fine.” Someone forgot to tell Mother Nature about the Thermal Belt, and the laugh is on me.

I spent two days at the lake unable to go anywhere as Mother Nature created a spectacular ice skating rink where the road used to be. I was effectively stuck at home, a prisoner in this winter wonderland. There was no way my little car would navigate those hills and curves on the ice. If only I had four-wheel-drive, if only I had listened to my husband, how much easier life would be.

Yes, honey, I admit it, you were right.

I would probably still be at home if it weren’t for Ed and Vicky Justice of Lake Lanier.

"Vanilla Ice" could be the largest snowman ever constructed in Tryon. The snowman, which stands in Thompson’s Landscaping parking lot on Palmer Street, was built Tuesday night by employees of several businesses. The 12-foot-tall, 4-to-5-feet-wide snowman took four hours to build with nine people and a ladder. Businesses that helped build the snowman include Bravo Interiors, Thompson's Landscaping, Sidestreet Pizza, Morgan Keffe Builders and Tryon House. (photo by Leah Justice)

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis presents an award from the Polk County Fire Chief’s Association during a retirement party for Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Tennant.

the position since 1982. He has served as firefighter for 35 years and retired as an educator after 30 years of service. Tennant is currently the chair of the Polk County School Board.

Tennant joined the Colum-bus Fire Department in the mid-1970s. Then, the depart-ment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of fire trucks. Today, the depart-ment has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several associate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“I don’t think you can under-stand how much the people in this room mean to me,” Tennant told those in attendance.

Tennant was lured to Tryon Estates that evening by a fire alarm activation at the retire-ment community in Columbus. The fire alarm call was nothing new to Tennant, but soon after entering the room, Tennant re-alized the setup as he was met with a standing ovation.

“It was the only way we could get him here,” said Co-lumbus Deputy Fire Chief Bobby Arledge. “If we told him we were having a retirement party, he wouldn’t have shown

up. If it’s a fire call, we know he’s coming.”

Arledge will take over the chief position at the beginning of the year.

Tennant was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, along with several other presen-tations from many of the service agencies Tennant has worked closely with over the years. Those in attendance included all Polk County emergency service and law enforcement agencies, mutual aid fire depart-ments and Regional One.

“The opportunity to work with him in so many roles has been incredible,” said Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “He has been a colleague, my fire chief and most importantly, my friend.”

Davis served as the Polk County Fire Marshal and later as deputy chief at the Columbus Fire Department before taking the Tryon fire chief position.

Tennant expressed surprise when presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, which has also been awarded to Bob Timberlake, Charles Kuralt and fellow University of North Carolina Alumnus, Mi-chael Jordan. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven

Carson to offer painting workshop“saluDa snoW” By Jim Carson

Saluda artist Jim Carson will offer a painting workshop Friday through Sunday, Jan. 21 - 23, titled “Getting Perspective Right in Order to Paint Fast and Loose.”

Carson will be joined by Chris Sherry, an AIA architect from Atlanta, who teaches perspective at Johns Creek Art Center and Quinlan Visual Art Center in Atlanta.

Learning perspective is criti-cal for a fresh painting style, according to Carson, because it provides the confidence to be bold with your painting strokes.

Sherry will conduct the first day of the workshop, which will be all drawing, and Carson, in the last two days, will teach the

application of these drawing skills to achieve loose and spon-taneous paintings. The work-shop will be held in Carson’s studio, located above the Saluda Grade Café in Saluda.

Carson will do daily dem-onstrations on Saturday and Sunday, and there will be a critique of the day’s work at the end of each day. There will be a “get-acquainted” gathering at Carson’s studio on Thursday night, Jan. 20.

The cost of the workshop will include lunch each day, catered by the Saluda Grade Café.

For more information, con-tact Carson at 828-749-3702 or visit www.jimcarson.net, or email jimcarson@tds.net.

what will i be?

Torro (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

Today’s saga will be short because we’ll be talking about a puppy, if you could call him that. After all, how much is there to tell about a pup who was merely 8 weeks old at the time of this writing.

Toro came into us as a stray, who had barely been done whelp-ing, if at all. How long he’d been loose is hard to say.

He arrived with some hair loss on his head and facial area, which we later learned was demodex mange, but other than that he was pretty fit. He is currently being treated and fos-tered at Paula’s until his mange

clears up.When I arrived at the shelter

on some unrelated business, Lani pulled me aside with a gleam in her eyes and said, “Len-nie, have you met Toro?” The staff at F.H.S. know me pretty well, but no one comes closer to

reading my hear t than Lani.

Through the years we have agreed

and disagreed on many things, but have emerged with a friend-ship that I value highly.

I went into the isolation room where Toro was being kept and opened his cage and then my heart stopped. Out

bounded this ball of energy with a big, bold head and four paws that looked lie boat oars.

One of my favorite mov-ies of all times is “Turner and Hooch,” which I must of seen a dozen times. The movie flashed across my mind in an instant because Toro reminded me of a little Hooch. I laughingly began to play with him and at that moment I don’t know who was more excited, he or I.

Toro is listed as a bulldog mix and everyone was dis-cussing, mixed with what? As different breeds were ban-tered about, Lani yelled out, “Horse.”

We all began laughing, for you see, at 8 weeks old, Toro

already weighs 30 pounds.Toro is full of energy and

will play with anyone or any-thing that gives him attention.

Percussionist River Guerguerian at Tryon Fine Arts Center Jan. 27

river guerguerian

World-class percussionist River Guerguerian has been inspiring audiences with arrange-ments of sounds and silences for percussion for more than 25 years.

According to Guerguerian, “Music is an attempt to arrange sounds and silences.” Guergue-rian

Guerguerian’s performance at Tryon Fine Arts Center’s “Explore the Arts” series last year brought many requests to bring him back. On Thursday, Jan. 27 from 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Guergue-rian will return with new sounds on the Veh Stage at TFAC.

Born in Canada of Armenian-Egyptian extraction, Guerguerian received the most outstanding percussionist award when he re-ceived a bachelor of music from the Manhattan School of Music. In 1988, he began creating works with Grammy and Oscar-winning composer Tan Dun.

By the time Guerguerian moved to Asheville in 1999, he had toured with other performing artists in Tokyo, Moscow, Rome, Berlin, Hong Kong, London, Carnegie Hall, The Sydney Opera House, the Lincoln Center and other venues.

Guerguerian spent five years

living and traveling in the Hima-layas learning unique methods and techniques from diverse cultures.

He plays and composes for frame drums, Middle Eastern and Afro-Cuban percussion, tabla, marimba, singing bowls and more. He has recorded on more than 120 albums and film soundtracks.

Joining Guerguerian for an evening of percussive sounds is John Vorus, whose fascination with the didgeridoo began when a friend showed him the basic drones and how to make a didje out of PVC pipe.

Vorus has mastered the tech-nique of circular breathing that makes the complex sound pos-sible. Vorus’ respect for this ancient instrument and for the aboriginal people of Australia as they persevere to keep their age-less culture alive with the mysti-cal vibrations of the didjeridoo has led him to the concert stage.

Tickets are sold only at the door. “Explore the Arts” sub-scribers should present their pass for seating. Refreshments will be served prior to the performance. Call 828-859-8322 for informa-tion.

TAX RELIEF LEGISLATION FOR 2011

ELDERLY AND DISABLED EXCLUSION

To be eligible for the Elderly Exclu-sion / Disabled you must be 65 years of age or older, or totally disabled before January 1, 2011 AND your total household income from all sources must be below $27,100. This is a reduction of $25,000 or 50% of the value of your home and up to one acre of land.

If you received this exclusion in 2010, you do not need to reapply. If your 2010 income exceeds $27,100 and you received the exemption in 2010 you must notify the County Tax Office to avoid interest and penalties being charged to you.

If the recipient of the Elderly & Disabled Exclusion is deceased, the Tax Office must be notified of the death of the recipient to avoid inter-est and penalties being charged to the heirs.

CIRCUIT BREAKER TAX DEFER-MENT PROGRAM

This program requires an annual application. To be eligible for the Tax Deferment Program you must be 65 years of age or older or totally and permanently, disabled by January 1, 2011 and your total household income cannot exceed $40,650. The appli-cant must have owned and occupied the property as permanent resident for five years. This is a tax deferment not an exclusion. Deferred taxes become a tax lien against the property with a portion of the taxes repaid at a future date plus any interest.

DISABLED VETERANS EXCLU-SION

This program excludes the first $45,000 of the assessed value of the permanent residence of an honorably discharged veteran who has a total and permanent disability resulting from a service-related incident. There is no age or income limitation on this program. NCDVA-9 forms must be completed by the Veteran Affairs Of-fice. This program is available to the surviving spouse (who has not remar-ried) of either (1) a disabled veteran as defined above, (2) a veteran who died as a result of a service-connected condition whose character of service at separation was honorable or under honorable conditions, or (3) a service member who died in the line of duty and not the result of willful misconduct.

stop worrying, love the launchSince my return to Chapel Hill

over Christmas break, while wait-ing for classes to start, I’ve settled into a holding pattern that is not a particularly “healthy” one.

This pattern consists of: hanging out until irresponsibly late with may-be three people, then eating some variety of disreputable late-night Chapel Hill food, then waking up the next day in the mid-afternoon, then alternating naps with watching the E! Network until I call my friends to see what they are doing, and then doing it all over again.

Still, the definite highlight of my time back here has been the hours of terrible, terrible television I watched, including ONE WHOLE HOUR of Sex And The City, the movie Honey, and most importantly for the purposes of this column, the movie Failure To Launch.

If you have ever been subjected to more than about 15 minutes of “movie talk” with me, I probably bring up the fact that I saw a total

of like six movies in 2010, and that one was my favorite.

Failure To Launch is basically about how Matthew McConaughey won’t move out of his parents’ house, and so they hire Sarah Jes-sica Parker to become his girlfriend so he’ll have the self-esteem to leave his parents alone.

Zooey De-schanel plays Sarah’s alco-holic roommate and ends up with one of Matthew McConaughey’s best friends, because of course she does. You can already guess how it ends, and if you can’t you should by now.

Failure to Launch is also great because of the degree to which its characters act in a manner that is zero percent grounded in reality. If you gave Sarah Jessica Parker even one weird-looking device that whirred or lit up or something, you’d have

Modern Age

yourself a science fiction movie. There is no way that Bradley

Cooper’s character is not supposed to be an alien. Everything he says is completely and totally nonsensical. Also, his name is “Demo.”

Here are a couple choice lines from Demo, courtesy of IMDB (a

website dedi-cated to infor-mation on mov-ies)

Deception’s a poison. Like margarine.

Whoa whoa … I’m a rambling man, I’m a tumbleweed, I’m a seeker of truth.

You were bitten by a chuckwalla. That shouldn’t have happened. It’s a reptile of peace. I have a theory. This isn’t the first time that nature’s lashed out at you like this. I believe it’s because your life is fundamental-ly at odds with the natural world.

I would have added more “memo-rable quotes,” but IMDB decided

to devote the rest of its bandwidth to message board pages debating whether or not the knot in The Dude’s robe switching from a square knot to a granny knot constitutes a full-blown continuity error or merely a “goof.”

I first saw the film last summer around midnight while in London, on the BBC3 network in my flat’s kitchen TV; I was feeling homesick and missing America, because I hadn’t seen it or any of my friends for about five and a half weeks. FTL presented to me an idealized version of my homeland, one where pretty people get together and are happy on boats and only worry about the pos-sibility of seeing Terry Bradshaw’s butt. Also, terrifyingly enough, Terry Bradshaw’s butt is in this movie.

So, yeah, FTL is not exactly the world’s best film, but it’s still my favorite and will probably always hold a very special place in my heart no matter how objectively bad it is. The end. I’m gonna go call my friends and watch more E!

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

There are more than 200 bones in the human body.

The main function of the skeleton is to add structure to the body, protect organs and enable the body, with the help of the attached muscles, to move.

Bones, do however, play a role in several other bodily functions. The formation of blood cells takes place in the marrow within certain bones.

Bones also act as a storehouse for minerals, especially phosphorus and calcium. About 98 percent of the body’s calcium is stored in it’s bones. Every cell in the body requires small amounts of calcium to function properly.

When blood calcium levels fall, bones then release calcium that has been stored. The body uses intricate mechanisms to keep calcium levels balanced. When blood levels of cal-cium are low, the parathyroid glands secrete parathormone.

This activates bone cells called osteoclastsins in order to break down

bone to release the calcium that’s needed by the body.

This also triggers other hormones that counteract mineral loss in these bones to keep them strong during this process.

When blood calcium levels get too high, the thyroid gland secretes the hormone calcitonin, which blocks the actions of parathormone. There are several factors that affect both calcium absorp-tion and loss.

These include, gender, weight, ethnic background, heredity, disease factors, and activity levels. There are two areas of strength-ening bone we need to explore. These are diet and exercise.

When taking a calcium supple-ment, it’s not just important how much you take, but how you take it. I recommend healthy individuals take between 1200-1500 mg. of calcium a day. The two main forms of calcium readily available are calcium carbon-

Building, maintaining strong bonesate and calcium citrate. Both are well absorbed, but need to be taken differently.

Calcium carbonate needs to be taken with food for proper absorption where as calcium citrate needs to be taken on an empty stomach. Be sure to take one or the other, not both.

Your total calcium intake per day, should be divided and taken at two

different times. Also, do not

take your calcium within an hour of taking vitamin C.

Calcium is a base and vitamin C is acidic. If they are both in the stomach at the same time, they will cancel each other out.

When it comes to calcium fortified orange juices, the form of calcium used is calcium hydroxide, which is not affected as much by the vitamin C in the juice.

You also, need vitamin D and magnesium for calcium absorption, so I recommend a well-balanced vitamin/

mineral supplement (we’ll talk more about that later)

Proper exercise is also crucial for bone strength and health. Weight training is excellent for this. Skeletal muscles have something called an origin and an insertion.

The origin point of the muscle is attached to the immovable bone. The insertion point of the muscle is attached on the other end to the mov-able bone.

When you lift weights properly, the bones between the origin and in-sertion are stressed. The brain senses this and signals the body to send calcium to harden these bones.

With proper strategy you can make real progress at any age, but make sure you get instruction from someone who is knowledgeable and experienced.

Get your doctor, trainer, and nu-tritionist involved. Take care of your bones and they’ll really support you.

Polk ladies, men JV basketball win over Crossnore

LHS wrestling cruises through region match-up

by Jordan deVere

On Thursday, Jan. 13, the Polk County High School Wolverines JV basketball teams played host to Cross-nore. The night went well for Polk as both the ladies’ and the men’s JV teams won.

The ladies’ game was ex-tremely one sided. The Lady Wolverines came out with great hustle on the defensive end, forcing a lot of turnovers. The game was tied 2-2 early in the first quarter, but the quar-ter ended with Polk ahead 20 to 2.

by Joey millwood

The Landrum wrestling team cruised at home in a region match-up that included Blacks-burg, Christ Church and St. Joseph’s on Thursday night, Jan. 13. The Cardinals won all three match-ups, beat-ing Blacks-b u r g 6 0 -14, Christ C h u r c h 64-12 and St. Joseph’s 57-24.

“I think w e i m -proved a lot tonight,” senior wrestler Antonio Barron said.

Bar ron domina ted h i s Blacksburg and Christ Church foes, pinning both in the first period to lead the Cardinals to an undefeated start in re-gion competition. Barron’s best performance came against Blacksburg’s Bradley Kurth. After jumping out to a 4-1 lead early in the first period, Barron pinned Kurth with over a minute

The game got ugly after that, for after Crossnore’s early 2 points in the first quar-ter, the Wolverines went on a 51-0 run. Even with subs in for most of the second half, the Wolverines continued to score.

Polk’s Shea Wheeler (#1) and Lyric Flood (#34) had 10 points and 12 points respec-tively. The game ended in a very assertive victory for the Wolverines, 69-4.

This win should give the Wolverines confidence head-ing into the second half of the

season.The men’s game was much

more competitive in the early going. The game began with a technical foul by the Wol-verines during the warm-up; however, the Wolverines were quick to recover and were able to take the lead early in the first quarter 10-5.

As the second quarter be-gan Polk came out with great intensity and opened up a 12-point lead.

Crossnore made a push in the third, but the depth of the Wolverines proved too much

as Polk continued to add to its lead.

As the fourth began, Cross-nore was still within striking distance until Polk’s Will Trakas #4 drained a deep three to seal the deal for the Wolverines, 66-43.

This was a solid win for the guys as they look to im-prove their record early in the second half of the season. Polk’s Varsity teams are away tomorrow night at Thomas Jefferson.

left on the clock.Danny Seay had a good night

for the Cardinals as well. He had two pins and a technical fall.

“I’ve never done that before,” he said. “It was great. I feel like I’m starting to put stuff togeth-

er and be a leader.”

The real d r a m a o f t he n igh t c a m e b e -tween Lan-drum’s J.C. Graham and St. Joseph’s Gabe Mc-

Call. Through almost the entire three periods McCall had a 1-0 lead over Graham. That one point came early in the first period. Graham finally broke through with ten seconds left with a two-point maneuver to win the match as time expired.

Landrum finished with three pins against St. Joseph’s, two pins in five matches against Christ Church and four pins against Blacksburg.

While individuals did well on Thursday, the Cardinals (8-14, 7-0), however, were more focused on the team’s improve-ment.

“For 1A, we’re doing really good,” head coach Josh Fowler said. “Overall we need to be more competitive as a team. We’re getting there.”

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Keeping Documents Safe

Q. Where should I keep my estate planning documents?a. In North Carolina only the original will may be presented for probate. Lack of an original will causes problems and administrative delays at the very least and for that reason, your will should be secured in a safe place. a bank safe deposit box may not be the best place since banks may seal the box upon your death. Many clients prefer their attorneys store the will to assure its availability for probate and they retain a copy for their records. If you do this, make sure the copy of your will bears a legend stating where the original may be located. More than one trust agreement may be executed; duplicate or even triplicate originals may be stored in different locations. It is never a good idea to write on or attempt to revise your documents. Later entries on a will or trust create uncertainty with respect to the intent of the creator requiring lengthy court proceedings to resolve.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Asset Protection

Q. Why should I engage in asset protection estate planning?A. Aside from the obvious, to protect assets you have worked so hard to earn, the following might be considerations: to give you peace of mind that your assets will be protected from potential creditors. to save on liability and malpractice insurance. to reduce settlement amounts and the number of lawsuits. to give you bargaining power in the event of a lawsuit. When faced with proper asset protection planning, creditors are given a Hobson’s choice: settle for the amount offered; sue and lose and maybe get nothing; sue and win and the amount could be less than offered; sue and win but the assets are unavailable to satisfy the judgment.

Dear Savvy SeniorDo I have to pay income tax

on my Social Security benefits? I just turned 62 and am seriously considering early retirement. What can you tell me?

Ready to Retire

Dear Ready,When you start collecting

your Social Security retirement benefits, a portion of it might be taxable depending on your total income level and marital status. Here’s what you should know.

Crunch your numbersAbout one-third of people

who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefits.

To figure out if your benefits will be taxable, you’ll need to add up all of your taxable income from pensions, wages, interest, dividends and other sources, plus any tax exempt interest you earned (such as interest on municipal bonds) and one-half of your Social Security benefits. (You’ll receive an SSA-1099 form in the mail each January reporting your Social Security benefits for the previous year.)

To help you with the cal-culations, get a copy of IRS Publication 915 “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retire-ment Benefits,” which provides detailed instructions and work-sheets.

You can download it at www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p915.pdf.

Worksheets can also be found in the IRS 1040 (www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040.pdf) and 1040A (www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040a.pdf) instruction

booklets. To receive any of these pub-

lications via mail, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and order them.

Taxed or notAfter you do the math, Uncle

Sam says if you’re single and your total income from all of the listed sources is:

· Less that $25,000, your So-cial Security will not be subject to federal income tax.

· Between $25,000 and $34,000, up to 50 percent of your Social Security benefits will be taxed at your regular income-tax rate.

· More than $34,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits will be taxed.

If you’re married and filing jointly and the total from all sources is:

· Less that $32,000, your So-cial Security won’t be taxed.

· Between $32,000 and $44,000, up to 50 percent of your Social Security benefits will be taxed.

· More than $44,000, up to 85 percent of your benefits will be taxed.

If you’re married and file a separate return, you probably will pay taxes on your benefits.

How to fileIf you find that part of your

Social Security benefits will be taxable, you’ll need to file using use Form 1040 or Form 1040A. You cannot use Form 1040EZ. You also need to know that if you do owe Uncle Sam, you’ll need

to make quarterly estimated tax payments to the IRS or you can choose to have it automatically withheld from your benefits.

To have it withheld, you’ll need to complete IRS Form W-4V, Voluntary Withhold-ing Request (www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw4v.pdf), and file it with your local Social Security office.

You can choose to have 7 percent, 10 percent, 15 percent or 25 percent of your total ben-efit payment withheld. If you subsequently decide you don’t want the taxes withheld, you can file another W-4V to stop the withholding.

State taxesIn addition to the federal

government, 14 states – Colo-rado, Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia – tax Social Security benefits to some extent too. For details, check with your state tax agency or visit retirementliving.com – click on “Taxes by State.”

Savvy tip: For more informa-tion on taxable Social Security benefits call the IRS help line at 800-829-1040, or visit an IRS Taxpayer Assistance Center (see www.irs.gov/localcontacts) where you can get face-to-face help.

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.
