The City of Sa-luda will begin trim-ming trees along city streets on Wednesday, June 13. If you would prefer to trim the street areas at your property rather than

having the city handle the trimming, city officials say you should do so before Wednesday. Any remaining vegetation in the right-of-ways after June 13 will be trimmed back by the city.

Ready, set…

Lake Adger sedimentation, erosion issues focus of boat tourby Leah Justice

On a recent tour of Lake Adger, area officials saw beautiful mountain views and watched a bald eagle fly overhead, but they also saw the lake’s many years of neglect, with fallen trees, eroding stream banks and water depths slowing decreasing as a result of silt.

The Green River Alliance organized the event with Lake Adger homeowners and invited a variety of organizations on Friday, June 1 to tour the lake. Five boats carried approximately 30 people on the tour. Those attending

and is in the process of getting the Green River Watershed reclassified.

The Green River Watershed Alliance was formed as a group of concerned residents interest-ed in the reclassification of the watershed, which encompasses 156,824 acres or approximately 245 square miles in Polk and Henderson counties. The wa-tershed spans the boundary between the mountain and piedmont regions with nearly 2,000 feet of elevation change between its headwaters and the Green River’s confluence with the Broad River.

The alliance organized the lake tour on June 1 to alert area officials of the need for a watershed assessment and plan, with hopes of obtaining grants to help fund the efforts.

The group visited several sites on the lake that have ero-sion and other issues, including the marina (at the mouth of the Green River), the mouth of Pan-ther Creek, the waterfall, Little Jackson Cove, the island, Frog Rock, the Turner Shoals Dam and the mouth of Jackson Cove.

Conard reviewed many areas where trees have fallen into the lake and where stream bank erosion is present. The silt com-ing from the Green River has filled the lake over the years, she said. The mouth of Panther Creek, for example, at one time had a depth of 22 feet and now is 12 to 13 feet deep, representa-tives said.

Conard stressed the need to protect the county’s water resources and said the group is trying to get some projects funded.

Polk County commissioners Ray Gasperson, Renée McDer-mott and Ted Owens attended the tour. Gasperson said he’s been told there weren’t sedi-mentation issues until I-26 was constructed.

Others mentioned a former sand mining operation on the Green River that was shut down


years ago, saying it could be one cause of recent sedimenta-tion issues. Sediment used to drop in a sand pit at the mine, but since it was shut down about 18 years ago the silt now drops into Lake Adger.

The boats met in different




A8

areas and reviewed some im-provements that have worked at individual properties, such as a boulder wall constructed to stop bank erosion. Joel Lent of Altamont Environmental discussed several ways to help bank erosion, including using the fallen trees as a less expen-sive way to approach problem areas.

The Green River was dammed in 1925 with the 87-foot-high Turner Shoals Dam to create Lake Adger. The Green River and Lake Adger area is largely undeveloped and is known for its recreational hunting, fishing (trout, bass, sunfish and muskie), kayaking, canoeing, tubing and swim-ming.

Officials said the lake is approximately 438 acres with 14.5 miles of shoreline and an average depth of 24 to 26 feet.

In 1996 Jim Smith purchased approximately 3,200 acres of property surrounding the lake and created the Lake Adger Development. Public access is still allowed on the lake, with restrictions on the size of boat motors allowed. Fishing, kayaking and swimming are

allowed, but jet skis and water-skiing are prohibited.

“We could choose like the last 87 years to do nothing,” said Conard. “We would like to take a hard look at assessing what exactly are the problems. Are there best management practices that aren’t being ful-filled upstream? We have to talk about our natural resources.”

Polk County purchased the lake bed for $1.6 million from Northbrook Carolina Hydro LLC. Northbrook continues to operate its power plant there through a lease with Polk Coun-ty for $1 per year.

Polk County owns Turner Shoals Dam, which is in need of repairs. The county has been budgeting funding annually to save for those repairs, which in 2009 engineers estimated at approximately $1.8 million. The engineers also cautioned the costs could be as much as between $2.5 million and $3.5 million depending on unit costs and contingency by the time the repairs are done.

By the end of next fiscal year, which will end June 30, 2013, Polk County is expected to have $600,000 saved for the repairs, with $200,000 included in next year’s recommended budget.

Friends of Harmon Field celebrates fifth anniversary June 21

The Friends of Harmon Field will hold its fifth annual meet-ing on Wednesday, June 21 at 6 p.m. at the Harmon Field cabin.

The event will kick off with a covered dish dinner followed by the annual meeting. The agenda will include a presen-tation by Ann Cornay on a proposed project to construct a year-round indoor swimming facility for Polk County that would be open to the public. The faci l i ty could be used by Polk Coun-t y s c h o o l s for physical education and s w i m m i n g t e a m c o m -petitions and by St. Luke’s Hospital for water exercise programs for fitness and reha-bilitation.

The Friends of Harmon Field Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, held its first meeting in January 2007. The organization was formed to provide volunteers and help raise funds for programs and capital improvements at Har-mon Field. Membership is open to anyone interested in helping keep Harmon Field a high-quality recreational facility for our region.

Harmon Field’s operations and maintenance are funded by a special property tax district that includes the Town of Tryon and much of Tryon Township. No other annual dedicated fund-ing is provided by Polk County or any other local governments in the area for the park’s opera-tions. The Friends of Harmon Field organization provides an opportunity for Harmon Field users from all over the service region that includes Columbus, Landrum and much of Polk County and upstate Spartanburg County, to participate in raising

funds for capital projects and programming at Harmon Field that are not covered by tax dis-trict revenues.

Friends of Harmon Field ac-complishments to date include organizing and running the Harmon Field 80th birthday celebration in October 2007, annual Harmon Field Heritage Days every March, annual putt-putt golf concession at the Blue

Ridge BBQ & Music Festi-val every June, and the annual Tour de Leaves bicycle ride every October. The Friends of Harmon Field organization h a s f o r m e d partnerships with other lo-cal organiza-

tions such as the Thermal Belt Rotary Club, Thermal Belt Amateur Radio Club, local Boy Scout and Cub Scout troops, the 2nd North Carolina Mounted Infantry, Big Brothers-Big Sisters, Blue Ridge Hunter & Jumper Association and many others to make these events successful.

Friends of Harmon Field has also provided funding and volunteers for landscaping im-provements at Harmon Field’s main gate and around the park buildings and funding for spe-cial training for Harmon Field staff in tree maintenance as well as other projects.

All are welcome to attend both the dinner and the meeting on June 21, even if they are not currently Friends of Harmon Field members. Attendees will have the opportunity to join the organization at the event, if desired.

For more information, con-tact president Lorna Dever at 828-894-3370.

Preparations under way for Fabulous 4th Bike Tour

The Rotary Club of Tryon is currently getting ready for the Fabulous 4th Bike Tour, to be held on Wednesday, July 4, rain or shine. The event fea-tures hundreds of riders taking to Polk’s rural roads for a chal-lenging tour of the county in an effort to raise funds for the Rotary Club of Tryon’s Gift of Life program.

This year, the bike tour will feature the well-known 67-mile route through Hunting Country and up the Greenville watershed, but will also offer a shorter, less challenging route of 34 miles for cycling enthusiasts. The cyclists will take off from Harmon Field at 7 a.m.

The presenting sponsor for this year’s bike tour will be Wells Fargo Advisors of Tryon. When Mike Ashworth, senior vice president of Wells Fargo Advisors in Tryon, heard about the Gift of Life program he said he was eager to sup-port its mission to help local

families facing the challenges associated with receiving spe-cialized medical care needed for their children.

“When our family moved to Tryon from Raleigh two years ago, we were so glad to know we had joined such a giving community. Getting involved in charity events like the Fabu-lous 4th Bike Tour is a great way to teach our children how to give back,” Ashworth said.

The Gift of Life program was established by Rotary International in 1975. Be-cause of the current economic climate, the Rotary Club of Tryon recently decided to use Gift of Life funds locally. This program, which began in 2011, has already helped three families in the Polk area obtain medical services.

For more information about the ride or how to become a sponsor, visit wwwfabu-lous4thbiketour.org.

UUs hold International Flower Communion June 10

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet on Sunday, June 10 at 10:30 a.m. at the Tryon Youth Center on Hwy. 176. The speaker for this final service until September will be Reverend Jean Rowe. She will lead an Interna-tional Flower Communion.

“This year on June 10, Czech Unitarians will celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Prague Unitarian Church, and the 89th International Flower Communion. We’ll be with them in spirit right here in the Tryon Youth Center at 10:30 a.m.,” Rowe said.

The Flower Communion signifies the historic Unitarian emphasis on tolerance and accep-

tance of one another, Rowe said. Each person is invited to bring a flower or flowering branch to add to a large bouquet the group will create. Before leaving, each one will take a different flower.

“The celebration, though sim-ple in concept, is moving and beautiful,” Rowe said.

Following this service will be a general meeting and election of officers for the coming year, as well as a pizza party provided by Franklin McKaig. Pizza and salad will be available. Attendees are asked to bring a dessert and drink.

For information, call 828-894-5776 or visit www.uutryon.org.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Truth and myths about metabolismThese days you can hardly

pick up any health book or mag-azine without reading something about “How to raise your metab-olism.” That stuff’s everywhere. Thing is, most of the information is either misleading, half-truths or just wrong.

Today, I’m going to share with you what will help boost your metabolism and what won’t.

First, what is metabolism? M e t a b o l i s m comes f rom the Greek words “metabole” (change) and “metabolismos” (outthrow), and is a series of chemical reactions that hap-pen to all living organisms to sustain life, including digestion and transport of materials to and between cells.

When is comes to fat loss, think of it this way. Fat is the fuel, your liver is the furnace. Your thyroid is the thermostat, and your metabolism is the rate of heat. High metabolism, high heat, lots of fat burned. Low metabolism, low heat, not much fat burned.

Some say as we age our metabolism automatically goes down. That’s not in and of itself very accurate. While it’s true our bodies do burn 2 to 5 percent fewer calories with each decade after age 40, there are still things we can do to raise our metabo-lism at any age. Here are a few.

1) Drink the right amount of water. Remember, all your body’s chemical reactions, in-cluding metabolism, depend on water. Just being dehydrated alone, you may be burning 2 percent fewer calories.

Cool water will help you burn even more calories, be-cause your body has to heat the cool water to your body’s regu-lar temperature. One caution though, you can drink too much water. Water leaches out miner-als (electrolytes) responsible for muscle contraction, so too much could cause muscle cramps.

Also, if you were to drink two

gallons in one sitting it could actually kill you by making your brain swell.

2) Eat more protein. Protein helps boost metabolism, because your body uses more energy to process it. This is known as ther-mic effect of food (TEF).

Your body burns twice as many calories to digest pro-tein as it does carbohydrates.

You don’t need huge quantities though. Strive to get 10 to 20 grams with

each meal. 3) Hot foods fire up me-

tabolism. That’s right, “capsa-icin,” the chemical that makes peppers hot, can not only turn up your metabolism, but can actually reduce hunger. In one study, 1 tablespoon of chopped Chile pepper, equal to 30mg of capsaicin, resulted in up to a temporary 23 percent boost in metabolism. Just sprinkle red pepper flakes onto your favorite dishes or do what I do; eat pep-pers on the side, like a pickle.

4) Lift weight. Lif t ing weights raises your metabolism more than a cardio workout. Did you know that just a 3 pound muscle gain can increase your caloric burn by 6 to 8 percent? That means you’ll burn 100 calories more a day, not to mention muscle is smaller and shaped better than fat.

Start a weight training pro-gram, but check with your doctor first, then get help from a weight training professional.

5) Exercising at a higher intensity. Those who exercise at higher intensities experience a post exercise boost in their meta-bolic rate that’s larger and lasts longer than those who workout at a low to moderate rate. Here again, check with your doctor first, and you really should have help with a professional trainer with this one.

6) Drinking tea helps boost metabolism. Tea contains com-

(ConTinueD on page 17)

B5

pounds called “catechins,” which can boost metabolism by 4 percent for 1 ½ hours. Try a cup of green or oolong tea in place of your morning coffee, and add a squeeze of lemon. It’ll help for better catechin absorption.

He served as strength direc-tor of the Spartanburg Y.M.C.A., head strength coach for the S.C. state champion girls gymnastic team, USC-Spartanburg base-ball team, Converse college equestrian team, lead trainer to L.H. Fields modeling agency, and taught four semesters at USC-Union. David was also a regular guest of the Pam Stone radio show.

We have a great opportunity this weekend to show literally thousands of visitors what makes our area so special. Why they should shop, stay and play here. At 11 a.m. today the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival kicks off at Harmon Field in Tryon. In it’s 19th year this famous festival brings cookers from around the country to compete for the best BBQ. Along with the “cookers” come thousands of visitors who will pour into our area for two

full days of great food, fun and entertainment.

As visitors drive through our towns, stop at our stores to ask directions or pick up a few things let’s take this opportunity to wel-come them. The Foothills Cham-ber of Commerce and countless

Publisher’s Notebookby Betty Ramsey

It’s BBQ time in the foothills, festival kicks off todayvolunteers have worked hard to bring this event to our area. It’s an opportunity we shouldn’t take lightly.

Who doesn’t want to shop, vacation or play where they feel welcome and invited? Smile, say hello and put out the wel-come mat - it’s BBQ time in the foothills!

Let’s make this a weekend to remember for our visitors. Hopefully they’ll come back again and again to enjoy.

The Western Carolina Classic Radio Club will meet Monday, June 18 at 2 p.m. on the Isothermal Community College Polk campus.

Bill Drake, a radio personality on 103.3 FM who is known as Spartanburg’s “goodwill ambassa-dor,” will join with Gary Poole, “the man with many voices,” to present

live stand-up comedy as performed in the early years of radio. Drake and Poole together make up the Merriment Players.

Professor Hoyt will keep every-one guessing with his trivia quiz.

WCCR will present a TV/radio video of “Martin Kane, Private Eye.” “Martin Kane” was unusual,

because it was first conceived for television but also ran on radio at the same time. The program broad-cast from August 1949 to Decem-ber 1952 and is best remembered for the “Happy McMann’s Tobacco Shop” selling Model pipe tobacco.

‘I Love Me A Turkey Butt Samwich’It would be less than honest to

say I’m not simply giddy with the prospect of the promotional tour of my book. Having been satisfied with its performance as an ebook, the decision has been made to bring my literary effort out in a soft-cover version, complete with a fully scheduled summer of both radio and television appearances.

When I was touring non-stop as a stand-up comic, flying in the night before a weekend gig some-where, I was obliged to be met in the hotel lobby the following morning at 5:30 a.m. in order to make the rounds on several differ-ent radio shows to plug my performance. The pressure was always on to be tremendously funny to the captive audience, bleary eyed and stuck in traffic on their morning workday commute.

But now as an ‘author’ (and, really, that must be said with full pretension, don’t you think? With the long ‘a’ that’s terribly affect-ed?), I can make my promotional appearances in a far more relaxed manner with a tweed jacket and Meerschaum pipe and perhaps even a walking stick to aid an in-jury suffered in the Korean War...yes, wrong decade, I know, not to mention wrong sex, but that’s what comes to mind when I think of an ‘author’: confident, erudite, and, most of all, distinguished.

Ah, well, there’s the rub. Par-ticularly the distinguished part. When the title of ones book is “I Love Me A Turkey Butt Sam-wich,” you can throw the jacket and pipe right out the window. I’ll never be Rod McKuen (wasn’t he just the end-all in his day?), strolling along the beach, quoting Turkey Butt lines to his latest love or Jacqueline Susanne, stirring a pitcher of martinis for her cock-tail guests and chirping, “Have you heard? Turkey Butt’s been optioned by Hollywood! It’s going to be a film!” And you certainly could never imagine Thomas Hardy muse, “It was Turkey Butt

which later gave me the confidence to write ‘Tess,’”

Nope, as Popeye opined, “I yam what I yam and that’s all I am.

I yam a middle aged woman who moved from a small career in Hollywood to a small town in the Carolinas. I’ve written about it for years in several different newspapers and have combined the best of those missives in this book named after one of the fun-nier columns. It’s catchy, for sure, and even memorable. And I knew

it would be good for a laugh.

But what I look forward to the most is mak-ing Jack Roper s ay “Turkey

Butt” live on-air.And not the Jack Roper from

“Three’s Company.”Jack, if you don’t know him,

is the long suffering, now retired, weatherman from our local televi-sion affiliate. He currently hosts a morning show on WSPA, along with the far- too-beautiful-for-that-early-in-the-morning, Kimberly Kelly. Between book signings, speaking engagements and a co-hosting stint on ‘Charlotte Today,’ I will be appearing on ‘Your Caro-lina,’ again, June 11.

I say, ‘again,’ as I was not suc-cessful on my last appearance, when Turkey Butt was released as an ebook, to get those words out of Jack’s mouth.

“I’m not gonna say it,” Jack shook his head.

“Oh, come on, Jack,” I whee-dled. “what are you, five? Say it!”

“Nope.”But Kimberly, bless her, shot

her hand in the air as if in class and enthused, “I’ll say it! I’ll say it!” and proceeded to announce the title with gusto.

“I can’t believe you won’t say it,” I pressed him, further, when we went to a commercial break. “I’ve always supported your career, even when you irritated me.”

“When did I irritate you?” he asked, incredulous.

Visitors from the Thermal Belt might recognize someone they know in the photos featured in The Living Mask exhibit at the Flood Gallery in Asheville, N.C. The Living Mask is an exhibit of digital pinhole por-traits of WNC characters hiding (or revealing) their innermost personas behind exotic masks from around the world.

In this exhibit, Rimas Zail-skas, the co-publisher of Bold Life, Verve and Carolina Home and Garden, presents a body of work outside the editorial

arena. The portraits in The Living Mask are surreal, often defying common sense, but always seeking the essence of the subject.

The Flood Gallery is located at the Phil Mechanic Studios at 109 Roberts Street in the River Arts District of Asheville. The exhibit will continue through June 30.

Saluda News &

Notationsby Bonnie Bardos

The first time I ever met Mar-tha Stoney Anderson was a ser-endipitious moment back in my early years in Saluda when my son was kindergarten age. My young son in tow with Number One Shar-Pei pooch Puddles, I’d strolled down the hill from my house to town to swings, sand and all things that connect kids to other kids. Silver sparkles in her loose top-knot, sparkling kind eyes and a big smile in place, Martha was a welcoming magic fairy I found that day at the town park.

That special day stays in memory: spotting Martha sit-ting, exuding laughter and joy on a grassy bank with her grand-daughter, now college-age — a small girl in dancing pigtails, happy and carefree. Let’s just say kids of all ages can find each other in this special town.

Oh, how time flies! Yet, that long-ago day stands out in my heart, and I’d found a Sa-luda Treasure.

S a l u d a T r e a s u r e s abound in this town, and always have...Martha is one of the best! Living in “Happy Hut,” a rustic, comfort-able log home her parents built in the Columbia Heights sec-tion of Saluda in 1928, Martha grew up spending summers in Saluda, except for a few years when her family lived in Hawaii. Columbia Heights was the first summer development in Saluda, based mostly on Columbia, S.C. families who built second homes here to escape low land summer heat. Her father was an Episco-pal minister, as was her husband.

“Mother and Daddy loved Saluda,” she laughs, as she re-members the past. “Saluda was home. This was it.”

After retirement from teach-ing and the ministry, Martha and her husband moved full-time here from Mandarin, Florida. Widowed 10 years now, Martha enjoys her five children, five

grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.

She’s been knitting since third grade, and is well-k n o w n f o r not only her knit creations, but for basket

weaving more than 40 years, and caning/weaving chair bot-toms, an old-time skilled craft indeed. You often see her on hand at the Saluda Hometown Christmas event, knit items on display, people gathering around to admire and buy.

“We are so lucky to be here!” Martha said, as she remembers other Saluda Treasures like Robert Pace, Jack Ward, Charlie Ward, and many others. “The core of Saluda has not been lost.”

It’s weathered through, rein-venting itself several times in a lifetime, over and over.

According to Martha, it’s those core values that hold this little town intact, a place with heart, where folks still care about one another. She mentions a past snow storm, when she was

keeping three grandkids and had no electricity. How Good Samaritan Dick Wright hauled over a supply of wood so she’d have heat, how folks would call and check on her.

If you happen to be by the town park and see a silver-haired fairy with a big smile and magic in her happy eyes, that’s Martha Stoney Anderson, a Saluda Trea-sure indeed!

Thank you, dear readers for reading this column! Each and every one of you is special to my heart — I want you to feel like we’re visiting on the leafy, flower-filled front porch enjoy-ing tea together.

To have so many people sup-port your dreams and desires is an experience so humbling there isn’t any way I could truly express it. The gala for my kids was a rousing success and the look of pure joy and love on all the at-tendees faces kept me fighting back tears all evening. There are far too many to thank individually, but I will make an attempt to thank you all collectively. First and foremost, my amazing and coura-geous kids whose stories inspire you all.

There were so many wonderful items to auction that so many self-lessly gave to support the cause.

All those who graciously gave up their time to assist in making things run smoothly.

All attendees and those who could not attend but contributed none the less. Each time another animal is helped or saved, your faces flash before my eyes.

As I stated in my prayer at the Gala, I am certain that the Good Lord smiles upon you all as we at-tempt to honor His wishes and do what we can for the least of these.

After the fundraiser I had a busy Memorial Day. I was scheduled for work but made my customary stop at Memorial Park for a few prayers of thanks before my shift. After work I rushed back to thank all the old veterans that make up the honor guard.

My hopes and dreams in your handsWith a quick trip to Columbus in the evening, most of the afternoon and evening was used to write some thank you letters.

Tuesday, donations were put in my accounts and then I paid off

all outstanding bills. I knew I needed some rest but I was on such a high there was one

more visit I wished to make. Off I went to visit Kanisha and Katrina in their new home. The call was made earlier so I was expected. When I pulled up I was imme-diately greeted by DeeKay, their big beautiful Mastiff, as the girls playfully circled him. I learned the Kanisha (black) was now Kaylee, and Katrina is now Kylee. I laughed to myself, “Well at least they’re still K 9’s.” The whole family was extremely cordial and I had a fantastic time with them and the girls, DeeKay too.

As I wearily sat in my car preparing to head home, I was so flooded with emotions I literally wept. I thought back to when I first saw them behind that fence, so confused and frightened. And now seeing the constant smiles on their faces as they dance around their new big brother was just too much for me to handle. My hopes and dreams for them and so many others have been put in your hands and you have so mag-nificently heeded the call.

Thanks for listening.

Kylee, Kaylee anD DeeKay. (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

RULING FROM THE GRAVE

Q. If we leave our property in trust for our children, won't we be "ruling from the grave?"A. This question comes up frequently. Parents know their children's strengths and weaknesses well. If a child is mature and generally man-ages his or her life well, there is no reason for a trust to be unduly restrictive. In that case, a trust can actually be a "gift within a gift" providing access to funds for the child, but protecting the funds from ex-spouses and judgment creditors. If the child is not

WHAT IS PROBATE?Q. What is probate anyway?A. In a nutshell, the probate process is a court proceeding that establishes the validity of a will and provides oversight to ensure accuracy in accounting for a decedent's assets, fair-ness in the treatment of heirs, and protection for the rights of the decedent's creditors. The process begins with the presen-tation of the will and can take on average 6 to 12 months. Of course this depends on the com-plexity of the estate and whether there are any challenges to the will. It is not necessary to hire a lawyer for every probate. If the assets are simple and there are no tax or other complexities and the executor is available in the state and has the time and capacity to handle the matters that arise, the executor can complete the process without attorney involvement.For answers on this or other estate planning issues call (828) 696-1811.

The Columbus Lions Club has recently supported an art program at the Polk County Schools After School Academy, thanks to a memorial fund established by the friends and family of former Lion Jack Porter. Porter was a Lion for more than 55 years and had been a member of the Columbus Club since 1986. He was also a talented artist, painting mostly in oils, and when he was not busy with com-munity service work this is how he spent much of his time. For this reason the Lions chose to dedicate his fund to art programs for local children.

This recent donation to the After School Academy partially funded a program in which an art teacher, Chris Baschon, provided art instruction for 35-40 third and fourth-grade children. When Lions observed the class, they noted that the children were not only devel-oping their art skills, but were also learning to listen attentively, follow directions and work independently.

Members of the Columbus Lions Club said they feel Jack would be proud that his service to our community continues.

There is a new rising star in the world of Carolina tennis in 8-year-old South Carolina state champion Sydney Housinger of Tryon.

Sydney is an avid member of Coach Cary Davenport’s junior Carolina Tennis Pro-gram and will be moving up to the 10-year-old divisions this weekend.

D a v e n p o r t said Sydney has many attributes that carry her to victory.

“First is her passion. Sydney embraces tennis with her whole heart and soul and she can play all day,” Davenport said.

He said Sydney also has a tre-mendous amount of endurance, has exceptional hand and eye coordination, and is coachable.

“She accepts correction and criticism well. She does not get upset - she just makes things better,” he said.

Her fifth, and most impor-tant strength he said, is that she moves well.

“The passwords for the tennis program are “move your feet” and this is something that is a God given gift to Sydney,” he said. “The top 50 international tennis players all move their feet and are the best professional ten-nis players in the world. Moving your feet is most important - and Sydney does this skill with great balance and skill.”

Sydney began taking tennis lessons with Carolina Junior Tennis in September 2011.

Mom, Amy Housinger, said Sydney is self-motivated with bigger than life dreams and goals for herself.

“Coach Cary and everyone

at Carolina Junior Tennis are wonderful! They are great with kids and make daily practice a fun time. They coach good life lessons like respect, teamwork, sportsmanship and honesty,” mom, Amy Housinger said. “Sydney gets excited when it’s time for tennis practice, which is something you don’t find with every sport.”

A typical week of tennis consists of three hours of group lessons along with one hour of a shared private lesson with her friend Hannah Mabry. Sydney a lso l ikes to

play tennis with her family dur-ing the week, and said she can’t wait to play more tennis in the summer.

She is looking forward in par-ticular to playing a tournament at Myrtle Beach in June with her friend Hannah Mabry.

“Tennis has always been a choice for Sydney and so far it’s been one of the most fun deci-sions she has made,” said Amy Housinger.

Sydney said the easiest move-ment for her is the forehand stroke, and the hardest to master is the serve. Her new goals for tennis are to learn new swings, improve her loop and be in the top 60 in the world.

“I also like hiking, swim-ming, running, playing games, being around the animals (espe-cially my cat, Benjamin), listen-ing to music, singing, dancing and playing pranks on my Dad! My favorite song is “The Climb” by Miley Cyrus, and my favorite food is tacos,” Sydney said.

Sydney will attend third grade at Tryon Elementary School in the fall.

The Western Highland Confer-ence recently honored Polk County High School seniors Jamie Hrobak and Rebecca Elliot as conference Female Athlete of the Year and conference Female Scholar Athlete of the Year, respectively.

“It’s a really big deal for these two girls to both be acknowledged since we’re talking about four play-ers total out of eight teams for the whole season,” said PCHS Athletic Director Jeff Wilson.

Four players are chosen for top honors from throughout the confer-ence each year – a male and female athlete of the year and a male and female scholar athlete of the year.

Hrobak, who was named con-ference softball player of the year, signed with Brevard earlier this year. She is also a four-time all-conference softball player, three-time all-state, two-time all conference in basketball and ran cross-country for four years.

Polk County High students named WHC female athletes of year“It’s a huge award and she

definitely deserves it just for her overall excellence in several sports over all these years,” Wilson said of Hrobak. “This gets said about a lot of students, but honestly, she is genuinely top of the chart as a kid and a person – so humble, so much of a worker.”

Female Scholar Athlete of the Year Rebecca Elliot served as an anchor of the Wolverine’s repeat 2A 4x400 Relay state champion team and maintained a weighted GPA of 4.04.

PCHS Track Coach Allan Peo-ples said Elliot has been running cross-country and track since seventh grade.

“The best things about her are that she always works hard, studies hard, makes good grades and is an inspiration on the track team and in the classroom. I want many more just like her,” People said.

Elliot is a three-season, three letter athlete who was named all-

conference in cross-country. She qualified for five events at

the indoor state track final - 500 meter, 1000 meter, 1600 meter, 4 x 800, and 4x400. For outdoor track, she qualified for regional in 4 x 800, 4 x 400, 800, 400 and 1600, setting a 2A Regional record in the 800 meter.

Elliot also won four events at the conference meet and ran an-

chor for 4 x 800 and 4 x 400 that won conference. She also won the 400-meter, the 800-meter and was named the WHC female runner of the year.

Teams that compete in the conference along with Polk County include Avery County, Henderson-ville, Thomas Jefferson, Madison County, Mitchell, Mountain Heri-tage and Charles D. Owen.

Two Polk County High School softball players will take the field later this month when the 2012 Powerade NC State Games kick off near Win-ston-Salem.

The games, sponsored by 20 corporate teams, set players from across the state up in tourna-ment-style com-petition.

B r i t t a n y Jones, a sophomore this past year for PCHS, and Cassie Couch, a junior this season, both made the region 8 softball team.

“We’re awfully proud of them,” said PCHS Softball Coach Jeff Wilson. “It’s one thing to be named to a team by coaches, but when you go try out somewhere from a line of 30 girls and are trying to be one

of 10 picked – that’s pretty tough.”Softball is divided into two

tournaments – a high school senior East-West series and an eight-team underclassmen (rising sopho-

mores, ju-niors and se-niors) tour-nament. Un-derclassmen like Couch and Jones will play in a four-game, round robin tournament

June 18-20. The tournament will be held at Forsyth Country Day School in Lewisville, N.C.

For more information about the games, contact the Powerade State Games office at 919-361-1133 or at [email protected]. You can also visit www.ncsports.org for a complete roster and schedule.

Dear Savvy Senior,Are there any types of financial

assistance programs that can help grandparents who are raising their grandkids? I have two grandchil-dren who are about to permanently move in with my husband and me, and we could use some help.

Parents Again Dear Parents,When it comes to raising grand-

kids, you definitely have plenty of company. Across the country about 5.8 million children are living with their grandparents, as the parents struggle with a variety of prob-lems such as financial hardship, drug and alcohol addiction, prison time, domestic violence, divorce and more.

To help with the day-to-day expenses of raising grandkids, there are a variety of government programs and tax benefits that can make a big difference in stretching your budget. Here’s where to look for help.

Financial assistanceFor starters, find out whether

your family qualifies for your state’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, which may include cash assistance, food stamps and free or low-cost daycare. Or, if your household income is too high to qualify as a family, ask about the “child-only grant” for just the grandchild’s support alone. Also, find out if your state offers any additional pro-grams like guardianship subsidies, non-parent grants or kinship care. Contact your state TANF program (see www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ofa for contact information), or call your county social services office for more information.

You also need to find out if your grandkids are eligible for Social Security, including benefits for children, survivor benefits or SSI. You can find this out at your local Social Security office, or call 800-772-1213 or see www.ssa.gov.

And finally, use benefitscheck-up.org, a comprehensive web resource that helps you search for additional financial assistance programs that you may be eligible for, such as lower energy bills, discounts on prescription medica-tions and more.

Tax benefitsIn addition to the financial

assistance resources, Uncle Sam offers some tax benefits that may help you too like the Dependency Exemption, which allows you to deduct $3,800 in 2012 on each qualifying grandchild.

There’s also the Earned Income Tax Credit or EITC, which is avail-able to those with moderate to low incomes, or the Child Tax Credit if you make too much money to qualify for the EITC.

If you’re working, and are incurring child care expenses in order to work, there’s a Child and Dependent Care Credit that can help. And, if you choose to legally adopt your grandkids, there’s an Adoption Credit that provides a federal tax credit of up to $12,650 per child.

There are even education-relat-ed tax credits through the Ameri-can Opportunity Tax Credit or the Lifetime Learning Credit to help if your grandkids go to college.

To learn more about these tax

Financial resources for grandparents raising grandchildren

Savvy Senior benefits call 800-829-1040, or visit www.irs.gov. You can also call the IRS publication line at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you the following publications: 501, 503, 596, 970, 972 and Form 8839.

Health InsuranceIf your grandkids need health

insurance, depending on your in-come level, you may be able to get free or low-cost health insurance through your state’s Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program. See insurekidsnow.gov or call 877-543-7669 for more information.

Legal issuesYou also need to talk to a fam-

ily law attorney to discuss the pros and cons of obtaining legal guardianship, custody or adoption. Without some sort of legal custody, you may not be eligible for many of the previously listed financial assistance programs, and there can be problems with basic things like enrolling your grandkids in school, or giving a doctor permission to treat them.

If your need help locating af-fordable or free legal assistance use findlegalhelp.org, or call the Eldercare Locator at 800-677-1116 for referrals.

Savvy tip: To find support with other grandparents who are rais-ing their grandchildren, visit the AARP GrandCare Support Locator at giclocalsupport.org where you can search for support groups in your area.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Nor-man, OK 73070, or visit SavvySe-nior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

A new statue will be dedicated in honor of local author Lilian Jackson Braun at the Polk County Public Library in Columbus on Wednesday, June 20. The statue, which was installed in late winter, was commissioned by her husband, Earl Bettinger, and was created by Mayo Mac Boggs.

The dedication date of June 20 coincides with Braun’s birthdate. This marquee event will start at 6 p.m. and will also feature music and performances. Light refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Library.

According to PCPL Director Cin-dy Nanney, the statue is a duplicate of one Bettinger and Braun have had for years at their home. The statue is an artistic interpretation of Koko and Yum Yum, the cats in Braun’s well-known “The Cat Who…” mystery series. Braun had a love for libraries, Polk County’s in particular.

More information about the event will be posted on the library’s website and announced in the Bul-letin soon.
