CLARIFICATIONIn Wednesday’s, Dec. 5 front page article regarding the new

Polk County Board of Commissioners making big changes, commissioner Tom Pack was quoted as saying state employees receive state retirement and county employees do not. Pack was referring to the health insurance portion of the retirement package that state employees receive. County employees do have a retire-ment benefit but it does not include the health insurance package.

upset bids. If there are no higher bids of at least five percent or more on the property, the property can be sold to the first bidder, Jerry Thomas.

“I have in hand an offer for the Jervey-Palmer building,” said then commissioner chair Ray Gasperson. “The offer is to take the property as is and not to request any further studies on the property.”

Gasperson stepped down as chair Monday after a new major-ity board of commissioners was sworn into of-fice and appoint-ed newly elected commissioner Michael Gage as chair. Gasper-son remains on the board along with Ted Ow-ens, Tom Pack, Keith Holbert and Gage. The board consisting of commissioners Gasperson, Renée McDermott, Owens, Pack and Cindy Walker made the Jervey-Palmer decision prior to the swearing in of the new board.

Some concern was raised re-garding the county’s future liabil-ity on the property in the event that some environmental hazard is discovered. There are two tanks located somewhere on the property and local officials do not know exactly what they contain or if there have been any leaks.

Then county attorney Mike Egan said it helps if the buyer agrees to purchase the property as is.

Then commissioner vice-chair McDermott, a former attorney, said the buyer would have re-course against the county if a problem is found but if the state became involved the county may still be responsible, depending on if the problem occurred during the county’s ownership or the hospi-tal’s ownership.

Polk County vacated the Jer-vey-Palmer building about a year

ago when its department of social services (DSS) moved into a new human service building the county constructed in Mill Spring. The county’s goal for years was to vacate the building, which housed DSS, veteran’s service, the senior center and mental health services, due to its age and expense to maintain.

The building was originally constructed in 1929 as the first St. Luke’s Hospital. A new hospital was constructed in Columbus and opened in 1973 when the hospital gave the county the Jervey-Palmer building.

Polk County officials decided after vacating the building the best use of the property would be to give it to the Town of Tryon since it is located within town limits and the town’s zon-ing authority.

Tryon asked the county to have a phase I study done on the property, which con-cluded that there was lead paint and asbestos located in the build-ing. Tryon then asked the county to do a phase II study, but the county instead asked the town if the county could remove the tanks in question instead of conducting a phase II study.

Tryon had planned to work with Thomas to give him the build-ing in exchange for Thomas buy-ing a new maintenance shed for the town to have at its wastewater treatment plant in order to tear down the one that sits just behind downtown.

Tryon officials said the ex-change became too complicated and declined the offer of the Jervey-Palmer building following a meeting Nov. 20.

It has not been made public what plans Thomas has for the 17,777-square-foot Jervey-Palmer building that is located on 4.92 acres of land along Carolina Drive.

Thomas also purchased the for-mer Grover Plant in Lynn earlier this year.

and privilege to serve with you.Tom (Pack) and Ted (Ow-

ens) I’ve learned a lot and I’ve enjoyed it and I’ve struggled some.

Tom, Ted, Michael (Gage), Keith (Holbert) and Ray I wish you the best for your new board.

I hope that your discussions will be civil, your audience kind and your decisions sound. Best of luck.”

Renée McDermott“I join in commissioner

Walker’s appreciation of em-ployees, clerks, volunteers, the community and fellow commis-sioners.

Our majority these past four years on the board of commis-sioners has had a good run.

We took major steps to keep Polk County rural and beautiful. We enacted a new subdivision ordinance, which gives citizens the right to comment on major,

sensitive subdivision applica-tions. We’ve never had that before in Polk County, and it gives citizens and important new voice.

We strongly supported the Agricultural Economic Devel-opment program, to save Polk County’s farms and to bring more farms to Polk County. We ran county water to the ag center in Mill Spring, helping to make the center financially self-sufficient. All this has helped to keep Polk County rural and increase the number of jobs.

We made Polk County gov-ernment more open. Many more county documents are on the Internet. And our board of commissioners agendas and board packets are posted on the Internet before our meetings.

We didn’t make decisions in secret; we discussed the is-sues in public, for all to hear. We rarely had closed session meetings, only when absolutely necessary. Former boards had

Beautiful Smiles are Forever!

• Walker speech(Continued From page 6)

held closed sessions at nearly every board of commissioners meeting, sometimes spending even more time in the closed session than in the public ses-sion. Our board stopped that.

We completed the new build-ing for the Meeting Place and created an entirely new adult day health care facility. That means so much for the folks who use the adult day health care center and for their home caregivers, giving them respite and important time for them-selves.

And we built the new How-ard Greene Human Services building.

Along with all this, and dur-ing the Great Recession, we brought Polk County’s debt down from $20 million to $11.5 million, an approximate 40 per-cent reduction.

We strongly supported the excellent Polk County Schools, making up for unwise education budget cuts in the North Caro-

lina Legislature. We saved the Polk County Preschool program when the legislature withheld funding.

The re-organization of the economic development office has resulted in more jobs in Polk County, including textile manu-facturing jobs at Carolina Yarn Processing. We arranged for hiring an experienced, trained

economic development director, and that has paid off well.

When Green River Adven-tures wanted to expand, we were there to help. I proposed amendments to our ordinances that would allow “nature-ori-ented non-motorized outdoor recreation,” uses compatible with the beauty of the moun-tains. In record time, the plan-ning board and commissioners unanimously adopted that plan.

In the past year, our eco-nomic development office and the North Carolina Department of Commerce have documented more than 100 new businesses opening in Polk County. I fully expect what we put in place to continue with such successes in the future.

Overall, our board fostered good, open, clean, stable county

government, keeping debt down and taxes low, even during very challenging economic times.

When I was 19 years old, and had just graduated from college, I came across the fol-lowing motto. I have since tried to live by it, including during my time as a Polk County Com-missioner.

Here is what it says:‘I expect to pass this way

but once;any good therefore that I

can do,or any kindness that I can

show toany fellow creature, let me

do it now.Let me not defer or neglect it,For I shall not pass this way

again.’~ Etienne De Greliet

I will continue to strive to live by that motto, and I will strive to continue to serve Polk County and its people.”

• McDermott speech(Continued From page 6)

During the week from Nov. 26 through Dec. 2, 2012, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office answered 244 calls for service.

ing, one for expired registration, one for no operator’s license and one for possession of less than ½ ounce of marijuana.

Being winterized is some-thing my boat has never ex-perienced.

Its owner loves to fish too much in the winter. But most folks do let their boat rest in the winter months. And a little precaution can be well worth your efforts.

I asked Charlie Bramlett, a local boat repair man with many years of experience for some tips on what to do to keep your outboard safe in the cold of winter.

The th ing he p robab ly stressed the most was put-ting ethanol Stabil in your gas tanks. Put in the recom-mended amount according to the label, then run your motor a few minutes to be sure any gas not Stabil treated is out of your fuel lines and carburetors. Never run your engine out of water unless you have a motor

flusher and a turned on water hose properly attached to your water intake. Your water pump can burn out very quickly with-out water.

The next step is one I had not heard of until now. He sprays fogging oil into the carbs or intake while the en-gine is running until the engine “chokes down.” This coats and p ro tec t s the cylinders and car-buretors from cor-rosion. You may or may not need a new set of spark plugs when you take your boat out of storage after using fogging oil, but it’s a step Bramlett recommends.

Check your lower unit oil to see if it has any signs of water. The oil will look milky white if it has water. If so, drain and

replace the lower unit oil to prevent damage from freezing. It’s a good idea to change it anyway and now is as good a time as any.

B r a m l e t t a l s o s a i d t o leave your engine trimmed down to prevent water from collecting in the ex-haust outlet around your prop. Water t h a t s t a n d s a n d freezes in the lower unit can cause some real damage. While

you are there, remove the prop and check to see if there is any fishing line etc. around the hub. This can cause damage to seals and end up costing you.

Disconnecting your batter-ies is a good idea too. Critters can chew wires and cause a short, electrical equipment can accidentally get left on, and

children may try to crank you engine for you.

If you have an OMC engine with a VRO pump, unhook the line from VRO pump to prevent oil from seeping into your carburetors and gumming them up.

Bramlett said that inboards are a whole different creature and it’s safest to take it to someone who knows what they are doing to winterize them.

These steps are an “ounce of prevention.” It’s easy to put things like this off, but the sooner the better if you plan on storing your boat. And if you are considering the few bucks you can save by not winterizing your boat, just go to a dealership and check the prices of a new engine, or ask their hourly rates for service, it may put things into right perspective.

To all those who have ex-pressed concern as to what my new direction will be since my retirement, fear not, for my goal toward helping my kids is as strong as ever.

My new direction simply has to do with how I will han-dle my expens-e s . B e s i d e s other things, I visit the shel-ter just about every day, I’d hate for my kids to ever think that I’ve abandoned them.

One of my favorite stops is to visit Tyrion, a 2 ½ year old pointer mix who reminds me of Buck (now Bandit), the sweet boy who was struck by a car and found under a tree. The look and demeanor of these two boys are so strik-ingly similar I’d like to believe they might be twins from the

same litter.Tyrion arrived at the shelter

in late June as a stray turn in with wounds on his neck. He was also high heartworm posi-tive. His wounds have healed and he has been on medica-tion for heartworm since his

arrival. Ty r i o n i s

doing wonder-fully and has become the star of our shelter.

He loves people of all sorts and is great with other dogs, but not with cats. He’s also an escape artist, just like Buck/Bandit, but doesn’t run away, I think he does it just because he can. Debbie O’Donnell, who has been working with his training, recently said to me, “he is so beautiful and smart,

I can’t believe he hasn’t found a home yet.”

Come visit this magnificent boy and if you agree that he is all I say he is and wish to add him to your family, I will per-sonally purchase an invisible fence (which he needs) and have it installed.

On Nov. 7, I made my usual vis i t to Foothi l ls Humane Society to check on Tyrion and all the other kids. After checking the adoption board, then seeing who was fostered or at the vet, I went in to visit Lani who handles our meds to learn if anyone was in trouble.

“Go down and see Muffin, Lennie,” Lani said, “she’s having pups and one of them didn’t make it. Be careful, she’s very frightened and will nail you.”

Lani knows me well and is aware that I have a tendency

to be fearless and reckless at times. I smiled at her and said, “I’ll be good.” Before going down, I learned she was a stray that came in the night before. After giving all the other dogs treats, I went to Muffin’s cage. I stood there frozen, unable to move, as tears unashamedly ran down my cheeks.

She was so thin and her skin was bad, most likely from neglect, but it was something else that moved me right down to my bones. Muffin was fran-tically licking and nudging her dead baby, this primeval instinct to preserve life was more than I could bear.

“Dear Lord ,” I prayed, “help us to help this poor creature.” I left and on the way out I told Lani, “I’ll see her tomorrow.”

The next day I learned that Muffin was brought upstairs to the first run with her pups.

I grabbed a few treats and went to visit, I was determined to in-teract and win her trust. When I got to the cage door I noticed she was nursing four pups. I rushed back to see Lani, “did that baby make it?”

“No Len-nie, we took that one away, she had two more after you left.” I laughed, “I guess the good Lord gave her two more to make up for the one she lost.”

I went back and opened her cage door and went in. I handed her a treat, which she devoured greedily and spoke to her softly to gain her confi-dence. She took the treat and two more without any attempt to bite, though she watched

me warily. I n t he subsequen t two

weeks, Muffin began coming to the cage door when she heard my voice. She’s al-lowed me to sit in with her and touch her as I give her treats. I excitedly went out and told

Ashley (Cutie) my progress.

“Yes, Len-n i e , s h e ’ s come a long way and even i f she b i t es , she won’t bite

down, just a warning to be careful.”

I like Cutie a lot, she’s a smart girl with a big heart who gets it.

I’ll never truly know what’s in store for Muffin and her pups, Tyrion and all the rest. We can only do what we can leave that to a higher power and to all of you.

Thanks for listening.

You’ve probably all heard the ad for “The Incredible, Edible Egg,” but did you know the egg really is incredible?

First, eggs contain a low-cost, high-quality source of protein (the best for human consumption in my opinion), minerals and vitamins, (all except vitamin C), and egg yolks are one of only a few foods that contain vitamin D. They contain choline, which is necessary for healthy membranes in our bodies, and for proper brain function. Eggs are good for our eyes too, because they contain more “lutein” than any green vegetable; even spinach.

Eggs are also versatile. They can be prepared over easy, sunny side up, shirred, hard boiled, soft boiled, poached or scrambled. In addition, eggs can be made into egg salad, or added to other food dishes. It is true egg yolks contain cholesterol, but most on a low-fat diet can eat one or two eggs a day without measurable changes to their blood cholesterol levels. In fact, “saturated” fat in the diet, not cholesterol, influences blood cholesterol levels most.

While eggs do seem a common allergen, especially in infants, many children outgrow the al-lergy, then have no problem. Also, folks allergic to chicken eggs shouldn’t take the flu vaccine. To avoid risk from Salmonella (a type of bacterium that can be present both on the inside and outside of eggs), cook eggs thoroughly, and don’t hold eggs in the temperature range of 40 to 140 degrees Fahr-enheit for more than two hours.

Don’t eat raw eggs either; not only because of risk of salmo-nella infection, but because raw eggs contain a substance called avidin. Avidin binds with biotin (a B vitamin necessary for cellular growth), and keeps it from being absorbed by our bodies. However, cooking eggs, breaks avidin’s bond. Even if you mix an egg with your dog’s food for a shiny coat,

first cook the egg, because avidin affects dogs the same way.

If you wash fresh eggs, do so only with cool water. An egg has pores that can draw contaminants in if washed in warm or hot water.

Now for some fun facts about eggs.

The average hen lays 250 to 270 eggs a year. The color of an egg is determined by the color of the laying hen. Hens with white feathers and white earlobes, lay white eggs. Hens with red feath-ers and red earlobes, lay brown eggs, though brown eggs taste no

different than white ones. An eggshell can have as many

as 17,000 pores, that are used to let in oxygen, and keep out carbon dioxide. About 75 billion eggs are produced in the U.S. each year.

China is the biggest supplier of eggs in the world, producing 390 billion. If you can’t remember if an egg is raw or hard boiled, spin it. If it wobbles, it’s raw; if it spins, it’s cooked. A fresh egg will sink in water, but a spoiled egg will float.

So, consider the egg; it’s one of the most nutritious foods available to us. By the way; as to which came first…”the chicken or the egg.” Read Genesis 1:20-22, and you’ll find… it was the chicken.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. at 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 9.

The Reverend DiAnna Ritola will speak on the topic, “The Sabbath Wholly Kept.”

“How do we unplug from the demands of daily life and recon-nect to that which we deem most sacred? Is there a magic formula for finding ways in which to slow down and breathe into the space of wholeness? Indeed there is — well, sort of. Many faith tradi-tions have spiritual practices that allow us to find our centers and the tradition of Sabbath is a good place to start.”

Rev. DiAnna Ritola received her ordination as an interfaith minister from The New Semi-nary for Interfaith Studies. She also has a private practice called

Authentic Integration: Spiritual Sex and Intimacy Coaching, and is a professional speaker on the integration of spirituality and sexuality.

Ritola has been a member of the UU Congregation of Ashe-ville since 2001 and has two daughters. She enjoys cooking and eating, yoga and crossword puzzles, and heartfelt conversa-tion. Just to prove she could, Ritola trained for and ran both a ½ marathon and a full marathon in the spring of 2012, but she hasn’t run much since.

The community is invited to come early for fellowship and refreshments.

For more information, call 828-894-5776 or visit UU’s web-site at uutryonnc.org.

Dear Savvy Senior,My husband and I are both

in our 60s and are interested in making some modest changes to our home to make it more practi-cal and senior-friendly, but aren’t sure what to do. What resources can you recommend to help us figure this out?

~ HomebodiesDear Homebodies,Most seniors, like you and

your husband, want to stay liv-ing in their own home. But be-ing able to do so often depends on how easy it will be to get around the house if you develop physical limitations. Here are some helpful resources you can turn to, to get an idea of what types of improve-ments you should make that will make your home safer and more convenient as you grow older.

Get informedA good first step in making

your house senior-friendly is to do a home assessment. Go through your house, room by room as if you’ve never set foot in it before, looking for problem areas like potential tripping or slipping hazards, and areas that are hard to access. To help you with this, there are various organizations that offer published lists of ques-tions to ask, and things to look for to identify problems.

The Fall Prevention Center of

Excellence (see homemods.org), for example, offers a number of online checklists including one called “How Well Does Your Home Meet Your Needs?” that you can access directly at home-needschecklist.org. Or, download and print off the National Caregiv-ers Library “Home Modification Checklist” at caregiverslibrary.org – click on “Checklists & Forms,” then on “Housing” to get there.

AARP also has an excellent re-source called “The AARP Home

F i t G u i d e ” that provides a checklist and tips to keep your

home safe and livable as you age. You can access it at homefitguide.org, or if you’re an AARP mem-ber, call 888-687-2277 and ask them to mail you a free copy.

Personalized adviceIf you want more personalized

help, consider getting a profes-sional in-home assessment with an occupational therapist.

An occupational therapist, or OT can evaluate the challenges and shortcomings of your home, make modification recommenda-tions and refer you to products and services to help you make improvements. Ask your doctor for a referral to an OT in your area. Your local Area Agency on Aging (call the Eldercare Loca-

Resources for makinga home senior-friendly

Savvy Senior

(conTinued on page 25)

B13

tor at 800-677-1116 for contact information) can also help you find nearby therapists.

Many health insurance pro-viders, including Medicare, will pay for a home assessment by an OT if prescribed by your doctor. However, they will not cover the physical upgrades to the home.

Another good option is to contact a builder who’s a certified aging in place specialist. He or she can suggest ways to modify your home that will fit your needs and budget. To find one, go to the National Association of Home Builders website at nahb.org/hireacaps where you can search by state and zip code.

Home modifications ideasThere are dozens of small,

simple things you can do to make your home more user-friendly as you age, such as securing throw rugs with double-sided tape to avoid tripping, installing brighter

full-spectrum bulbs in existing light fixtures to improve visibility, and adding grab bars to the bath-room for support. There are also a number of bigger more extensive projects like installing a stair-lift or elevator for multi-floor access, and replacing the tub with a walk-in shower for easier entry and exit.

To get a list of more senior-friendly home improvement ideas and illustrations, see the National Aging in Place Council website at ageinplace.org – click on “Practi-cal Advice” then on “Making Your Home Senior Friendly.”

Another good resource that’s loaded with tips and universal design ideas is the “AARP Guide to Revitalizing Your Home.” It’s available in bookstores nation-wide as well as online at sites like amazon.com.

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.

Guests were greeted at the door with carolers from the CooperRiis community and a cup of spiced tea. More than 100 silent auction items were donated to the event. All proceeds go to the operations of the Tryon Fine Arts Center. The “pub” is on display through the season events at TFAC and is open for viewing. (photo submitted by Marianne Carruth)

Editor’s note: Below is a portion of Cindy Bosien’s letter in Spartan-burg Day School’s recent alumni newsletter.

Adopted by two doctors at the age of four, for a few years I ran wild and free in the wilderness of Hogback Mountain with my first and still best friend, Tita Flack. In 1958, at six, I entered a huge, impos-ing building in Spartanburg, a city far, far away to be tested for my in-telligence and readiness to enter the world of Spartanburg Day School.

My first memory there was being asked what color a banana is. I answered “white.” Told that my answer was wrong, I replied, “The skin is yellow, the banana is WHITE.”

I was deemed intelligent enough, maybe even a bit of a smarty-pants. Happily, I ended up in Mrs. Miller’s first grade class. I went from being mostly alone on a mountaintop to being in a hugely expanded

Bosien says work value spawned from Spartanburg Day Schoolsocial circle, and I became the Day School’s first Tryonite … By 1962, I was in fourth grade, on the Key Committee, and being taught a rhyme each morning that I still live my life by:

“When the job is once begun, never leave it until it is done. Be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all.”

Just recently I turned 60. I have been a homebirth midwife for 20 years, delivering over 500 babies from New York City to Amish country in Pennsylvania to El Paso, Texas. All four of my children were born naturally, with the last three born at home.

Now, I am a home death mid-wife, helping the dying who want to walk through that doorway sur-rounded by those who love them best, in the place they most want to be.

Since my own time to leave could be soon—who knows? —I

have turned my attention to giving my world the best of me before I go.

I garden like crazy and have an organic garden center at my 140-year old farm. I have hundreds of old-fashioned flowers, grown for the sake of the bees, butterflies, hum-mingbirds, and others. Many of the plants are edible by people as well.

For the last four years, I have been building a business called “Garden Saviour Rainbarrels” with a revolving group of young entre-preneurs. More than 36 youth have worked building this business, one of whom used his experience with us for his senior project at Polk High School. The school was delighted and so was I.

Here is what we do. We recycle barrels and rain. We are creating our own jobs. We shop locally. We cooperate with the environment and contribute to water conservation. We build community. We help people grow their own food. We

even built love and philanthropy into the very heart of our endeavor, by giving barrels and plants and help to those in need. We are trying to save the Earth, right here, right now. One plant at a time, one barrel at a time, one person at a time.

Few people will ever have a chance to attend Spartanburg Day School. For those of us who did, we had a great privilege. Of course, with great privilege comes great responsibility.

My responsibility has been to take the values, the love of learning, the good sportsmanship and high intellectual standards, the attention to relationships and details that I learned at the Day School and share them everywhere, with as many as possible, as perfectly as possible.

Finis Coronat Opus — The End Crowns the Work is my steadfast rule.

by Fulton Hampton

Polk had a full schedule of basketball this week with back to back games in Henderson-ville; coming away with a 1-1 split. Winning Tuesday, Dec. 4 at East 72 -62, but losing to West in a close one 74-71 on Wednesday night, the Wolver-ines brought their season record to 2-2. But early season basket-ball leaves little time for adjust-ments. The Wolverines had one day to try and catch their breath as they play Landrum again tonight at home.

East Henderson Polk jumped to an early lead

and then held on for the win. Coach Josh McEntire was par-ticularly pleased with the first half effort.

“We really came out with a lot of energy and created a lot of turnover and easy baskets for ourselves,” McEntire said.

This resulted in a halftime score of 41-22 Polk County. However, East Henderson re-sponded in the third to make a close game.

“In the third quarter we let our intensity down and our de-fense was not where it needed to be. We let them get back in the game,” McEntire said.

The Wolverines made ad-justments going into the fourth quarter and got back on track. McEntire said when it counted the team made 11 out of 12 free throws to seal the game. Alec Philpott led the way making 10 free throws.

“He really did a good job attacking the basket; we did a good job as a team (and thus getting to the free throw line),”

said McEntire. Leading scorers where Phil-

pott with 16, Anthony Carson with 14 and Jordan Smith with 9 points and nine rebounds.

West HendersonThe West Henderson game

was a bit different scenario with Polk being down early and almost coming back for the win.

Coach McEntire said the Wolverines struggled to gain any control in the game.

“We let them dictate the pace of the game. They are a really big team, we let them sit in the zone for the first three quarters and make us take tough shots, we took way too many outside shots,” he said.

With their size advantage, West concentrated on getting the ball inside and slowing the game down. McEntire was not pleased with Polk’s defensive effort.

“On (their) offense we al-lowed them to run their slow pace and take great shots (from inside). They shot 71 percent in the first half,” he said.

The half ended 39-27, with West leading Polk by 12. Polk was able to close the gap later in the fourth quarter hitting six 3-pointers. This offensive drive brought the Wolverines within two points of the Falcons, but the team still came up short 74-71.

Saquan Miller shared leading scorer honors with Alec Phil-pott, both with 15 points, and Jamal Tanner had nine assists for the game.

LandrumCoach McEntire gave credit

to the Cardinals from the last game, but felt the Wolverines

needed to be more focused as well.

“They (Landrum) are big and have length and can switch well (in their zone defense). They are very talented and re-ally did shoot well last time. (But) Hopefully we will come out ready to play basketball and not worry about all the outside distractions,” McEntire said of

his team going into tonight’s game against Landrum. “We (may have) gotten too caught up in the rivalry and did not show up to play.”

The Landrum Cardinals in-creased their record to 2 – 0 Tues-day, Dec. 4 under the leadership of coach Lyn Smith.

The Cardinals won against Chapman High at home 78 – 54. This was another impressive win by Landrum who also won big last week against Polk County.

This well-rounded team plays strong defense and shoots the ball well.

Both teams came out of the gate running with one fast break after another. Landrum converted a lot of points off Chapman turnovers. The Cardinals had 17 total steals in the game with Chris Schulman making seven of them, followed by team-mate Truston Whiteside with five.

Landrum ended the first quarter up 13 points with a score of 21 – 8. Chapman played better through the second quarter trying to make up for their lack of points in the

first but its hard to stop a team like Landrum that had five players shoot 50 percent or better from the field.

The two teams went into the locker room with a score of Lan-drum 41 – Chapman 29.

Chapman came out in the sec-ond half and tried to rattle the Cardinals with a full court press, but the Cardinals held their ground with only 12 turnovers the whole game.

Daniel Bridges led the Cardi-nals to victory with 20 points, two blocked shots, 13 rebounds and he was 4 for 4 from the free throw line. Following Daniel was teammate Mark Wilson with 16 points, and six rebounds. Other players in double figures were Chris Schulman and Truston Whiteside both with 14 and Aaron Bryant with 10 points. Chap-man’s leading scorer was Deebo Samuel with 17 points followed by McMillian with 10.

Landrum Cardinals 2-0 with win over Chapman

Landrum Lady Cardinals take out Chapman Highby Doug Dickerson

The Landrum girls’ varsity bas-ketball team won again at home, this time against the girls from Chapman High School. The final score was 48 – 45 at the end of a highly-contested match up.

The Cardinals came out slow in the first quarter but started to get rhythm towards the end. The first half had a lot of turnovers from both teams.

Chapman kept trying to pound the ball inside, which led Landrum to go to a zone defense to try and keep the ball outside. Landrum stayed in the first half by making their free throw shots and keeping a very tough defense.

The score went back and forth right before the end of the half and into the second. The game was still close through the third quarter. Both teams were trying to gain an advantage. Chapman with their in-side game and Landrum with their quickness. Landrum went into the

fourth quarter with a 35-32 edge. At the end of the fourth quarter,

Landrum tried to eat some time off the clock but Chapman would foul to stop it. Landrum then sealed the deal by making key free throws at the end of the game.

Coach Deon Brice was proud of his team’s showing.

“I just think this team has a lot of spunk and scrappiness,” Brice said. “They’re going to play all four quarters and you can’t ask for any more than that.”

For the Landrum Cardinals Taylor Jenkins put away 14 points, followed by Lauren Pitts with 11, Macy Atkins with 9, Sydnie Brown with 4 and Becca Burress with 3. The high scorers for Chap-man were A. Cheek and Moore with 13 apiece followed by K. Cheek with 11 and Brownlee with 8.

The Landrum Cardinals travel to play Polk County on Dec. 7 at 6:30 p.m.

The Piano Trio in d minor, Opus 49 by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy will be performed on the Bach’s Lunch/Wednesdays at Noon Advent Recital Series at Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Tryon on Dec. 12 at noon.

Area musicians John Malloy, violin; Kathleen Foster, cello; and Kymric Mahnke, piano, will perform.

This piece of music, from the time of its unveiling, has been acknowledged as one of classical music’s greatest masterpieces.

Robert Schumann, a music critic as well as composer, pro-claimed the work “the great trio of our time,” a work that “rec-onciled the contradictions of the period.” While Schumann did not explain the latter comment, he was probably referring to Mendelssohn’s ability to infuse the classical musical forms of his predecessors, Haydn, Mozart

and Beethoven, with the roman-tic fire and harmonic color that was the hallmark of 19th century romanticism.

Indeed, this work, through the agitated opening movement, a contrasting tranquil andante, the elfin scherzo, and final weighty allegro, exudes a sophistication and polish that is unmatched.

These 30-minute Advent re-citals are free, and all are invited to attend.

A box lunch will be avail-able for purchase. For more information, call the Holy Cross Episcopal Church office at 828-859-9741. The church is located at 150 Melrose Avenue, Tryon.

Next week’s Bach’s Lunch/Wednesdays at Noon Advent Recital: Dec. 19 - Wanda May, soprano; and Jeanette Shackel-ford, piano.

“I liked the solitude and the silence of the woods and the hills. I felt there the sense of a pres-ence, something undefined and mysterious, which was reflected in the faces of the flowers and the movements of birds and animals, in the sunlight falling through the leaves and in the sound of run-ning water, in the wind blowing on the hills and the wide expanse of earth and sky.”

~ Bede Griffiths

In December, night arrives early: Christmas lights create a warm glow. At dusk, I watch the pink lemonade sunset brush char-coal gray through quiet woods: then come back inside to stir a pot of homemade chicken and dumplings: comfort food. In the kitchen, multi-colored strands of lights hang like jewels from wood beams, shining copper pots dangle. When there’s something

simple, warm and delicious on the stove (a happy River dog helping underfoot), I ask myself just what more could make an evening peaceful and full.

Even the Christmas tree is up, put together by yours truly. Years ago, it took me hours of frus-tration to deal with the two bazillion color-coded branches. Now I spend 15 minutes on that rascal: just put it together the ‘art-ist’ way without following direc-tions. By the time the decorations are added on, who’d know the difference?

Community:On Dec. 7 from 4-7 p.m. and

Dec. 8 from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m., visit the holiday market above Thompson’s Store on Main Street: vendors and local artists

will have goodies for sale. There is now an elevator available for those who need it. At my 1895 Art House at 285 Greenville Street, I’ll have an open studio evening from 6-8 p.m. Ellen Trn-ka will be playing at the Saluda

Inn’s wine cel-lar next door: the wine cellar opens at 7 p.m. Parking avail-able at the fire department or Saluda Inn.

Saluda Community Land Trust (SCLT) will be doing the Adopt-A-Highway cleanup on Monday, Dec. 10; meet in the parking lot of Saluda Library at 10 a.m.

Our annual Hometown Christmas on Dec. 14, 6-8 p.m. is sponsored by the Saluda Business Association. Charm-ing Main Street brings to mind

a simpler place and times past. Stores on Main Street and over the bridge downtown glow with warm light as music sweetens the night — luminaries lead the way up Greenville Street to the Saluda Inn where artists and craftspeople will sell gift items from 6:30-9:30 p.m., and on up to the Oaks Bed and Breakfast for warm cider and holiday cheer with Dale and Donna Petroski. At 8:30 p.m., the evening wraps up with an Ecumenical Service at Saluda Presbyterian Church.

Generous spirits have started the Saluda Welcome Table ev-ery Tuesday: dinner is served for anyone who’d like to come enjoy companionship and connection from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Saluda United Methodist Church fellow-ship hall. Donations appreciated; all welcome.

Notationsby Bonnie Bardos

Multi-colored strands of lights hang like jewels

Last week I separated my two horses for a few days, putting one at the pasture down the road and leaving the other here at home.

They are mares, which means they are inseparable, yet fussing with each other when together, and miserable when apart - not much different from teenage girls. When I went down to the barn that evening to feed Fiona, she was standing directly against the screen that separates her stall from Ruby’s stall. When they are both there, the mares each stand beside that screen wall, getting as close together as they can while being in separate stalls. I was touched by the sight of Fiona longing to feel Ruby’s presence; knowing full well her companion was not there.

I have heard that animals cannot distinguish between past, present and future very well. For them five minutes and five hours are quite similar. They live “in the moment.” This does not mean they do not

remember, but they do so more on a sensory level. A sound or incident in the present may bring forth a reaction triggered by a similar experience from the past.

We humans operate much more out of reason and thinking. We believe that we have evolved to our present superior state because of our intellect and reason. We believe that we have learned to be a more success-ful and responsible species because we draw our knowledge from the past and thus are able to perform better in the future. Not only can we live in the moment as can the animals, but we can mold our behavior upon lessons learned in the past, with an eye on how our actions will pan out in the future.

But I do believe we have not learned from the past.

History books get longer and longer, with enough information to

help guide us safely through gener-ations ahead. History books appeal to our intellect. They provide facts, and tell us of consequences. A few history books that I have read are brutally honest, but most historians sugar coat the most ugly facts in order to make the book palatable. The wonder of our memory helps too; humans tend to forget the most troubling facts of the past, which is why we think of the days of our

grandparents as being the ‘good old days.’ The opposite of this forgetfulness is

what returning soldiers are deal-ing with: TSD, traumatic stress disorder. The only cure for it is to suppress, then forget.

Years ago that the executive director of Pacolet Area Conser-vancy at the time, Mike Oliphant, told me we would be wasting our time in the conservation field until we changed our way of thinking. That comment was the impetus for my writing this column, hop-

We’ve got to feel it ing that people could change their way of thinking if given enough information. But how true is this? Progress as we know it is directly counter to conservation, and we choose progress every time. We feel anxious, yet we do what our minds tell us to do…and the anxi-ety persists.

Our intellect is used to rational-ize and expedite what we think we must have, which in most cases is to be comfortable. That translates to big houses, more money or power. Facts can be lined up in any manner we need them to be in order to get what we want, with the kindness of our forgetfulness to help it all work out.

It brings me back to the image to Fiona standing in the stall, feel-ing the warmth of Ruby’s presence when Ruby was not there. Fiona could not rationalize as to why Ruby was not there, nor could she plan when Ruby would come back. She could only accept reality, and

Conservation CornerBetsy Burdett

seek comfort within that reality. She knows the sun brings light, and night brings darkness. There is no judgment as to which is better; they are simply different. Could we live happily without electricity, as had been for thousands of years before Thomas Edison’s intellect brought us the light bulb, and with it coal fired power plants and climate change? Could we make decisions on what our hearts tell us, using our minds to serve our heart’s mission only? Could we be happy living with the world that God created rather than spend our lives trying to change it to serve our shortsighted, selfish purposes?

Maybe what Mike Oliphant should have said is that we will never make positive changes to the environment until we learn to feel, and listen, and begin to accept reality graciously.

Thanks to the men of the 7th Day Adventist Church (led by Gary Hillmon), who brought in their heavy equipment to cut, split and move logs, Outreach now has relocated the cages that contain the agency’s supply of firewood. These relocated cages will make it easier for Outreach clients to pick up firewood to heat their homes during the cold winter months. During 2011, Outreach supplied clients with nearly 100 truckloads of wood and the organization expects the need to be even greater with the forecasted colder temperatures this year. If you or your organization is interested in volunteering to cut or split wood, or if you wish to donate wood, please contact Jim McClintock at 828-894- 2988. Outreach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1991. The organization’s mission is to provide compassionate assistance to Polk County residents who are unable to provide for their basic life needs.

Federal Estate Taxes

Q. My estate is almost totally family land. Is there any way to arrange installment payments of federal estate taxes? Yes. If a substantial part of the

estate is in a farm or a closely

held business, your estate may

not have enough funds to pay

the taxes. The IRS allows an

exception to the 9-month rule

for such estates. If the decedent

is a U.S. citizens and the value

of the farm or business is more

than 35% of the decedent’s

adjusted gross estate and the

estate tax return makes such an

election, your estate may defer

payment of the estate tax for

your estate will have to pay

only the interest on the deferred

taxes. However, only the part

of your taxes attributable to

the farm or business can be

paid in installments. The rest is

due 9 months from the date of

death. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Christmas is in the air and thanks to the hard work of city employees, local business owners and many volunteers, the streets of Tryon are ready to spread some holiday cheer.

Our beloved mascot Morris is back home at the corner of N. Trade and Pacolet. Rebuilt from the inside out and covered in gleaming, glossy coats of paint, Morris is all shiny and new and ready to greet visitors as they come in to town.

Not to be out done by local fashionistas, Morris sports a lovely wreath of greens, berries and a bright red ribbon around his neck. Now decked out in his holiday attire and looking absolutely smashing, Morris is ready for his seasonal duties as mascot for the town and this evening’s holiday stroll.

Enjoy the festivities as you walk the streets of Tryon this evening, take in the smell of fresh pine from the beauti-ful wreaths adorning business fronts, and the sparkling lights setting the stage for another delightful holiday evening in Tryon.

Thank you to the many in-dividuals who came together

to make this holiday season a little brighter and happier. The spirit of Christmas brings with
