heavy rains because of an overflow issue with the town’s sewer line in that area. The town has applied for a grant to fix the problem, but was initially denied. The town has re-applied and hopes to receive more than $600,000 to permanently fix the problem.

Whitmire said the town put in a backflow valve so the water wouldn’t come in her house, but it didn’t work when the area re-ceived more than 4 inches of rain on Sunday.

“I don’t even go out in the yard,” Whitmire said. “The yard is just full. It’s not healthy and I’ve been complaining and com-plaining. I’m the one that’s getting that backflow from White Oak and everyone. I’m the one sitting up (at night) cleaning it out of the bathtub. What would you do in my position?”

“I’d be here complaining like you,” Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples told Whitmire.

Council was sympathetic to Whitmire and suggested having the town clean up Whitmire’s property every time backflow occurs while the town waits on the grant.

Commissioner George Baker said the town has been working hard on the solution and he realizes

Whitmire hasn’t seen any results but said she will.

Council asked public works director Joel Burrell to meet with Whitmire to clean up her yard to alleviate the smell. The town is also going to test Whitmire’s backflow valve to avoid overflow in her house in the future.

Baker said if Whitmire needs three backflow valves to stop it from coming into her house then the town needs to install three of them.

Tryon has done studies in the area and fixed one issue that Whit-mire said has helped some. Whit-mire said after the inflow and infil-tration study the problem occurred less often but it did happen again a few months ago.

Tryon has been fined by the state for sewage spills along East Howard Street several times over the past few years. In 2009, the town received $7,000 in fines for overflows.

Council has said the town sim-ply can’t afford a $600,000 fix without help from a grant. Town officials met with the state last month regarding the possible Com-munity Development Block Grant (CDBG). The grant would allow the town to completely replace the trunk line that runs along East Howard Street to its sewer plan from the current 16-inch line to a 24-inch line.

Abril’s case continued in Henderson County court by Leah Justice

Chris Abril appeared in Hen-derson County Court last Friday, May 11 on charges of financial card fraud and identity theft. His case was continued until June 1.

The former Polk County Sher-iff told Judge Mack Brittain that he’s not guilty of stealing his for-mer sister-in-law’s debit card and that he had power of attorney over her to handle her financial affairs.

Abril also faces charges in Polk County for the same inci-dent after his ex-sister-in-law pressed charges, alleging Abril used her debit card for purchases such as getting fuel and purchas-ing lumber at Lowe’s.

Judge Brittain told Abril last week he faces a maximum of 24 months in prison if convicted. Brittain requested Abril’s case be continued to a day when he is not presiding because he worked closely with Abril in the past.

Abril was charged on May 5 in Polk and Henderson counties

for the alleged debit card fraud. He was charged in Polk County with possession of stolen goods, identity theft, unlawfully obtain-ing a credit card and obtaining property by false pretenses, all felonies. Abril may also face charges in Buncombe County for using the card there.

Abril told the Bulletin last week that he was asked by his ex-sister-in-law to have power of attorney over her affairs and she also signed the deed of her house over to him. He said he immediately transferred the deed of her house to one of his sons.

Abril also said he did not unlawfully obtain the debit card that she gave it to him as well as her password. Abril said after returning from a trip to Florida to see family, he couldn’t find his ex-sister-in-law, who owed him money, so he used her card.

Abril is scheduled to appear in Polk County District Court on June 6.

Polk school board to switch companies for student insuranceby Samantha Hurst

Parents with students attend-ing Polk County schools next year can expect a higher level of insurance coverage through the school system.

Polk County Board of Edu-cation members voted at their May meeting to switch their coverage to a gold level with The Young Group.

“With so many families out of work and so many people that have probably lost cover-age, we felt it was important to offer students the best cover-age we could, especially if we could still save money in the long run,” Superintendent Bill Miller said.

Miller said the board could have saved as much as $8,500

for the exact same coverage they already had, but voted to increase the coverage for students and still save money.

The new company said it could save the system $3,000 but increase the coverage from what Polk currently receives through American Advantage.

The system worked with The Young Group about five years ago.

This new insurance covers intensive care, emergency room visits and even X-rays (up to $300) at 100 percent, versus 80 percent with the previous cover-age. Miller said coverage would also be better for accidents on the playground, for example.

The change will take effect July 1.

Tryon Arts and Crafts School will once again offer a one-of-a-kind summer camp experience in the arts. Each week professional artists will introduce the students to at least eight different arts and crafts.

Organizers said students will have the opportunity to discover hidden talents, learn about many art forms and experience the joy of creating works of art to share with family and friends. The children will have the opportu-nity to work with professional grade tools in a well-equipped studio as they complete their projects.

This year’s classes include: pottery, fused glass, weaving, pastel painting, woodworking, jewelry making, storytelling, silk painting, basketry, tie dye, mask making, glass mosaics, felting, paper making and pen and ink watercolor. At least eight of these

topics will be presented during each of the five weeks of camp.

Camp dates are: July 9-13, July 16-20, July 23-27, July 30-Aug. 3 and Aug. 6-10.

Classes run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a lunch break. Students should bring a lunch, a snack and a drink and are encouraged to wear clothing that they don’t have to worry about so that creativity can flow unhindered. Each week will conclude with a show of student work on Friday afternoon. Doors will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. for student drop off and pick up.

Summer Sizzler is designed for students 10 and older. Ad-vanced registration is required. Class size is limited. Call Tryon Arts & Crafts School at 828-859-8323 to register or for more information.

Humane Society Special Cases

Last week I took Buck back to Upstate Veterinary Clinic as prom-ised. Barring unforeseen complica-tions it will be his last trip there. He loves making the trip to see Dr. Allen, or Uncle Keith as he calls him, and I think I’m a bit jealous.

Buck rides in the back seat on my special doggie blanket, excit-edly moving from side to side, pop-ping his head out of the window. In between each crossover, he’ll place his paws over the front seat and lay a few kisses of gratitude on my face. About halfway through the trip he’ll climb over to the pas-senger seat and lay down with his head upon my lap. Each chance I get, I’ll drive with one hand and stroke his head with the other.

Dr. Allen is a wonderful man who did everything he could to keep Buck’s fees on the low end, saving my fund hundreds of dollars,

The wheel keeps turning just as he did for my magnificent Snowy. Though the operation itself was expensive, each subsequent visit was absorbed by my dear friend Keith. Even the last x-rays that we viewed showing how Buck had healed, Dr. Allen said, “don’t bother stopping at the front desk, Lennie, the x-rays are on me.” Besides his good heart, when it

comes to diffi-cult, broken or deformed bones in animals, he is a genius. For those of you in

the know I consider him the Dr. Rosenberg of veterinarians.

By the time this tale is pub-lished, Buck will have one week to go without any actual running for safety purposes. If you have any interest in this handsome and loving boy, please contact Josh at Dogwood Farms or myself and we’ll be glad to have you meet him.

Last week I thanked all those

Buck

who lovingly support my cause. I’ve often explained about the many cases my fund has handled that never get written about, but the animals and the people helped, know that’s truly what my funds are for. Within the last two weeks we have helped Pokie, Pebbles, Roxie, Charlie and Angel and tomorrow after work, I will visit Faith and see what I can do.

Maggie, the beautiful 8-year-old Maine Coon cat, who had a stone removed, is in a loving home.

Angelique, the sweet Boxer, who reminded me of Allie, is adopted.

Sergeant, the sweet pit-pointer mix has been accepted into a rescue.

The amazing Coffee (too cute for words), lasted three days after her story and is being tearfully loved in her new home.

We are merely tools in the hands of our Creator and we can never stop the wheel from turning, but with His help, we can make it run more smoothly.

Thanks for listening.Uncle Lennie’s fundraiser for

Lennie’s Kids will be held Sunday, May 27 at Tryon Estates beginning at 5 p.m.. The menu for the evening will include appetizers of spinach dip, fresh fruit and pimiento cheese spreads. The dinner will include buffet style items such as barbecue chicken breasts, brown sugar baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, rolls and banana pudding. Tickets are available by contacting Lennie Rizzo at 828-859-5835.

Trudy and Martin Sloan of Tryon celebrated their 50th wed-ding anniversary on May 6 in Pawley’s Island, S.C.

The couple hosted an open house party on May 5 for family and friends. On Sunday, May 6, the Sloans received a papal blessing at mass at the Sacred Blood of Christ Catholic Church in Pawley’s Island, officiated by Rev. Patrick Stenson.

An anniversary dinner for 35 guests followed at the Pawley’s Plantation Golf and Country Club. Harpist for the affair was Becky Nissen of Myrtle Beach, S.C.

The couple’s three children, Pamela (Walter), Kevin (Christy) and Elizabeth (Brett) were in at-tendance.

Also in attendance were the couple’s 10 grandchildren, Ste-phen, Christopher, Timothy, Sabrinia, Lily, Katie, Hunter, Ryan, Florian and Finley, along with two great-granddaughters, Michela and Miranda. Martin’s best man and high school friend,

Ken Rota and wife, Linda, and Trudy’s cousin, William Cooper and wife, Maureen, also attended. William Cooper was an usher at the Sloan’s wedding on May 6, 1962.

Trudy and Martin were high school sweethearts. After gradu-ation in 1957, Martin attend-ed Rutgers University in New Brunswick, N.J., and Trudy studied interior design in New York City.

The Sloans lived and raised their three children in Metuchen, N.J. Martin is retired from Glaxo-smithkline Pharmaceuticals as a supervising manager in the pro-duction of penicillin. He is also the creator of the popular tomato seed, “The Jersey Devil and The Jersey Giant,” which was fea-tured in his tomato seed catalog.

Trudy is a retired realtor and former owner/operator of a fab-ric store in Metuchen known as Trudy’s Sewing Room.

The couple moved to Tryon in 1992.

A lesson on a perfectly normal part of life from momMother’s Day brought all the

siblings up to see my mother and she enjoyed a whirlwind of a weekend, indulging in a big, family, dinner at my sister, Katy’s, house and being taken out for the obligatory brunch on Sunday.

Delivered safely back home later that afternoon, Mom was met at the door by the 12-year-old object of her favorite topic of con-versation, her beloved cat, Chloe, who meowed and wound around her legs. Immediately, Chloe was enveloped in my mother’s arms, kissed and made much of and then released to encircle her legs once more. Sinking down on the sofa in her sunroom, both my sister and mother overheard Chloe began to yowl and, to their horror, watched as the cat collapsed before them and died.

Just like that.Katy telephoned to relay the

sad news and asked if she could bring Chloe to us for burial,

which she did. Paul, having bur-ied two of our dear cats just this past month, sighed, and dutifully strode out into the pouring rain to dig yet another grave in our pet cemetery which is only feet from our front door and lies beneath a wild rose bush with carefully arranged large, mossy, rocks that encircle a bird bath.

Chloe’s tow-el draped body was buried with dignity and a scattering of rose blooms. She truly was a loving and affectionate companion for my mother since being deposited, as a rambunc-tious kitten, into her hands.

The oddest thing for me to take in has been my mother’s reaction. Fully expecting tears and depression, my mother took only a few moments to say good bye to her cat and that she loved

her before Katy removed Chloe and brought her to the farm. Upon telephoning her that same evening to see how she was, Mom seemed quite bright, and, while she spoke of how very odd and sudden the death had been, there seemed to be no sign of grief. Or the the fol-

lowing day. Or the next.

What she did say, during that first conversa-tion, however, was that she didn’t think she

should have another cat because, “at the age of 90, it wouldn’t be fair to the cat if it became very attached to me and I should sud-denly die.”

“Well, Paul and I always in-tended to take Chloe if anything happened to you,” I replied. “And there are cats out there at the shel-ter - nice, older, cats, whose own-ers have died, that would probably

love to come live on your lap.”“Well, that’s true.” she mused,

then added, “And if you need a home for any of your cats....”

It all just seemed so matter-of-fact to me. Having wept copious tears as Paul and I buried both Barney and Vicky this past month and felt the disconcertion of the empty place on the sofa where Barney normally plastered against my leg and Vicky cuddled onto Paul’s chest. I cannot imagine, in what feels like an eyeblink, to realize their loss and not mourn and then consider a replacement so soon.

But Paul said it best.“I think at your mother’s age,”

he began, “she’s so used to loss that it no longer stings. She’s out-lived 99 percent of all her friends and looks at it as just a part of life. A perfectly normal part of life.”

Which of course it is.As well as being yet another

lesson I’ve learned from my mom.

Plans to becomea medical doctor

The admissions department at the University of North Carolina at Asheville recently announced that Polk County High School (PCHS) senior Matthew Walker has been se-lected as the 2012 recipient of the Frank & Sybil Giordano Scholarship. Walker is the son of Danny and Patsy Walker of Tryon.

During his four years at PCHS, Walker has had a strong academic record. He is a mem-ber of the PCHS Interact Club and has had leadership roles in the Health Occupations Students of America Club and Future Business Leaders of America Club, in addition to serving as the Red Cross blood drive coordinator at the high school during his junior and senior years.

He also represented Polk County at North Carolina Boys State last summer and served as captain of the hunter skills portion of the PCHS Shooting Sports Team.

Walker, who will graduate from PCHS in June, plans to become a medical doctor.

He will begin his undergrad-uate studies at UNC-Asheville this fall. He intends to continue his education in cardiology after earning his bachelor’s degree.

The Giordano Scholarship is available to Polk County seniors who have attended Polk County High School for at least three years and reside in the county.

In 2012 the value of the scholarship is estimated to be in excess of $14,500. Each ap-plicant must be in the top third of their graduating class.

Applicants are interviewed by a local scholarship selection committee. Members of the committee are Judy Arledge,

F rank Giordano , R ichard Smith, John Vining and Tawana Weicker.

“While I was standing in a checkout line in the local Ingles one Sunday morning to get cof-fee for my wife, a woman in line noticed my Union Theological Seminary sweatshirt. She then proceeded to grill me about my relationship with Jesus to make sure it was the same relationship as hers,” said Rev. Michael J. S. Carter, who will be the speaker at the Unitarian Universalist (UU) Fellowship service on Sunday, May 20. “After a brief but tense exchange, I left the store thinking about the many interpretations our culture and community have about this man. This sermon is a result of that conversation in the supermarket. The title is taken from a question Jesus posed to his disciples on his way to Jerusalem and his impending death.”

Carter is originally from Bal-timore, Md. He moved to New York City in 1980 and lived there for 25 years, working as a professional actor before moving to Asheville, N.C. with his fam-ily to serve as a staff chaplain at Mission Hospital. Carter is an ordained Interfaith minister and received his B.A. degree in letters from the College of New Ro-chelle where he graduated cum laude. He received his master in divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York City (class of 2000). He has served as a staff chaplain (board certified) at Lenox Hill Hospi-tal, Beth Israel Hospital, Beth Israel Cancer Center, Methodist Hospital and New York Hospital Queens while residing in New York City.

Carter has just completed a year’s work as the minister for the Black Mountain UU Fellowship, serving that congregation on the second Sunday of every month for a year. While serving various Unitarian Universalist Congrega-tions in New York, Carter was trained as an anti-racism trainer and has been recognized by President Clinton for his efforts.

He was also a weekly columnist for the Asheville Citizen Times.

Carter currently serves as the Diversity Officer for Mis-sion Health. He has served as a diversity consultant for The Grove Park Inn, Asheville City School Foundation, The Eaton Corporation, Four Seasons Hos-pice (where he currently sits on the board), The Employee Assis-tance Network and The Asheville Buncombe Institute for Parody Achievement (ABIPA).

Carter’s book, “Alien Scrip-tures: Extraterrestrials in the Holy Bible,” is available at www.amazon.com. The book explores the possibility that extraterrestrial life may have influenced the Ju-deo/Christian scriptures and what that would mean for the mono-theistic religions of our planet. This was Carter’s master’s thesis at Union. Carter has appeared on the History Channel’s “Ancient Aliens” to discuss his ancient astronaut theory. He and his wife, Judy Long, a Unitarian Universalist minister, are both members of the UU Fellowship of Hendersonville. They reside in Arden, N.C. with their 4-year-old daughter, Kevyn.

Last chance for family fun May 19

Trail rides bring out the fun in people, according to the many riders who have attended one of the three rides hosted by Green Creek Hounds (GCH). Divided into three sections according to riding ability, all were able to enjoy the experience at a level they were comfortable with.

There is one more chance to be part of the GCH family fun on May 19 at 10 a.m. at the Vineyard fixture.

This is a guided trail ride, so participants should be saddled up and ready to start by 10 a.m. Go to greencreekhounds.com/direc-tions.html for directions.

Members can participate for free, but there is a fee for non-members. Non-members may apply the trail ride fee to mem-bership for the GCH 2012/2013

season. Non-members will also need to download a release form, found at greencreekhounds.com/hunt_release_waiver.html. The signed form, with snail mail and email addresses should be put in an envelope with the fee and presented to Christi Fowler, MFH (Master of Foxhounds), or Kem Ketcham, MFH, at the ride. A negative Coggins test is required.

Bring a snack, a drink and a chair for socializing after the ride.

GCH’s new hunt year begins June 1. If you think you’d like to become a part of the foxhunt-ing club, contact Christi Fowler, MFH, [email protected], for membership informa-tion.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

American Cancer Institute recommends a healthy dose of strawberriesA few weeks ago, we learned

about my favorite fruit, wa-termelon. This week I’d like to share some information on another one of my favorites…strawberries.

The strawberry belongs to the genus “Fragraria” in the rose family, along with raspberries, apples, and plums, and is the first fruit to ripen in Spring. Strawberries aren’t actually true berries like blueberries and cranberries, because they carry their seeds on the outside (about 200 seeds per berry).

There are more than 600 varieties of strawberries, and some can be white or yellow in color, and some can even taste like pineapple.

The word strawberry comes from the Old English words “streoberie” or “streawbelige.” No one is really sure how they got their name though. Some believe that the word straw

came from the straw used to cover the plants, while others believe they were named in the nineteenth-century by English children who picked the fruit, strung them on grass straws and sold them as “straws of berries.”

Eighty-three percent of all strawberries produced in the U . S . c o m e from Califor-nia (approxi-mately 24,500 acres). Florida is second with about 5,000 com-mercial acres.

Strawberries are so delicate that they must be picked by hand, and picked every three days. That’s the time needed for the berries to complete their cycle of turning from green to white to red.

They can’t be stored either, so after picking, they’re rushed to coolers where huge fans ex-tract heat, then the berries are

delivered to stores across the country via refrigerated trucks.

Each year roughly 27,000 ki-los of strawberries (by the way, that’s more than 59,000 pounds) are eaten during the Wimbledon Tennis Championships together with 7,000 liters of cream.

Now let’s explore some health benefits derived from this wonder-ful fruit. First, s t rawberr ies

are a great source of folic acid, potassium and fiber. They’re loaded with vitamin C too. Just eight berries have more vitamin C than an orange. That’s 140 percent of our daily value.

Eating strawberries is also recommended by the American Cancer Institute as part of their 5-a-day program to reduce the risk for cancer and heart disease. Strawberries contain “ellagic acid,” which can help

fight cancers. Ellagic acid is a natural phenol antioxidant found in several fruits and vegetables like blackberries, raspberries, pecans, walnuts, cranberries, grapes, pomegran-ates and strawberries, among other foods.

What research shows is el-lagic acid prevents cancer cells from replicating and allows them to go through normal apoptosis (cell death), without harming healthy cells. Ellagic acid also shows promise in help-ing control high blood pressure.

Also, flavonoids which form part of the strawberry’s color help reduce artery clogging cho-lesterol. Strawberries are great for those trying to watch their weight too, because they’re fat free and one cup only contains 55 calories. Strawberries can help whiten teeth too, because of the acids they contain.

They can even help reduce inflammation of sunburn. Just combine strawberry juice with a little honey and rub the mixture thoroughly into the skin before rinsing off with warm water and lemon juice.

So enjoy loads of fresh strawberries all summer. The peak season is between April and October. Careful in your handling of the berries though. Capping, injuring, cutting or juicing will reduce a straw-berry’s nutrient content.

Harriman offers water fitness classes at Gibson Park Pool June 4

The Polk County Recreation Department has announced the addition of Sarah Utz Harriman to the Gibson Park Pool staff this summer. Sarah will teach water fitness classes beginning the week of June 4.

Harriman’s passion for fit-ness started at a young age and continued into college. As a Polk County High School stu-dent, she swam and ran cross-country, which she continued at Wingate University. She gradu-ated with a bachelor of science in biology and earned a master’s of science in exercise physiol-ogy from UNC-Greensboro.

Her graduate work included several community outreach programs, which she said sup-ports her philosophy that daily activity can help improve every life. While safety is her primary concern, she said she tries to create a fun environment and encourages participants to chal-lenge and surprise themselves while getting and staying fit.

Harriman said water fitness is an ideal mode of exercise for all ages and abilities. Older adults, athletes, mind-body

enthusiasts, people undergo-ing prehab or rehab and those just desiring a different type of workout program will enjoy the freedom and fun in the water, she said. The water acts as a support for the body to allow a workout without added stress on the joints.

The class will focus on strengthening, cardiovascular and flexibility exercises, all of which can be modified for the beginner or advanced par-ticipant.

To register, stop by Stearns Gym, visit www.polknc.org or come to the pool open house on June 2 from 4-6 p.m.

Wolverine soccer came out on bottom Wednesday, May 16 in what they had expected to be a tough match against South Iredell to advance in the 2A soccer state playoffs.

Polk County lost 3-1 to the

Lady Vikings. “After the fact, you always look

back and realize what you could have done differently,” said PCHS Coach Lennox Charles. “I think we went in a little too intimidated and gave them a little too much respect when we started.”

Charles and his Lady Wolver-ines faced exactly what they were afraid of going into the game – an early South Iredell score.

The Viking’s Ashlynn Pierce sailed in the team’s first goal within the first three minutes of play.

“We came out on our heels and

weren’t real aggressive,” Charles said. “Brea [goalkeeper Brea Hamby] got her hands on it but she couldn’t keep it out.”

Ellese Cash, however, worked to keep Polk in the game answer-ing in around the 15th minute

A year after everything fell right and the Landrum boys’ track team won the state cham-pionship, the Cardinals walked away a little disappointed on Saturday, May 12.

The Cardinals unsuccessful-ly defended their state cham-pionship at the South Carolina High School League 1A State Championship at Spring Valley High School.

Whale Branch won the event with 79 points. The Cardinals finished fourth with 40.5.

While the Cardinals fell short in some events they thought they’d be stronger in, there’s one Cardinal who left it all on the field.

Landrum’s Peyton McCarter found himself in a pole vault war. The junior pole vaulter hit a personal record May 12, but fell short on a tie break. He vaulted a 12-06, but finished second because of one scratch.

“I felt like I had a good day,” McCarter said. “I’m just going to work harder for next

season.”Landrum’s Chasten Thom-

as it could’ve been,” said Head Coach Russell Mahaffey. “I’m real proud of my athletes.”

with a goal of her own, Charles said. Polk held South Iredell 1-1 at halftime but Cash’s goal would be the only score for the Wolverines. The Vikings went on to grab two more goals - one two minutes in the second half and a third about five minutes later.

Charles said the Wolverines worked really hard and started regrouping. He said Polk had a couple of chances with the Vi-kings’ keeper making one really good save off Cash near the end.

“The last 20 minutes of the game I really felt we played the better game,” Charles said. “Re-alistically, we really could have

won the game. But if you are not focused all the time your oppo-nent really will find the advantage and they did. At the end we defi-nitely created some opportunities. We were dangerous, but we just couldn’t quite get that goal.”

Hamby did her best to keep the Vikings out of the net defensively with a total seven saves.

“We definitely improved and we definitely finished the season playing well,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll have enough girls coming back with the experience of play-ing these games to make it one more round and get further in the finals.”

Seven seniors will graduate this year, but Charles said that leaves about 12 to push further next year.

The Foothills Humane Soci-ety’s annual Animal Fair garden party was held Sunday, May 6 at Maude Carr’s Hidden Hollow Farm. The brain-child of Betsy and Dee Miner, the event, now 10 years old, attracted 170 guests, who relaxed poolside under the tents and enjoyed a buffet lunch after visiting the animal exhibits.

The theme this year was “Res-cues and Happy Endings” and featured rescued animals from the shelter in their forever homes.

“Even the weather cooperated,” said Emily Clark, board chair for FHS. “We appreciate our hard-working volunteers, contributors and supporters who made this event another huge success. I es-pecially want to thank the Friends of the Fair for donating goods and services again this year: Costco, Tryon IGA, Four Winds Florist, McKinsey Printing, Renee DuVall Catering and Blue Ridge Wine and Spirits. Event Rentals of Spartan-burg was a new sponsor this year.”

Honored animal guests were LL Cool Chang, a Pekinese who was found as a stray, blind and starving, and brought to the shelter to die. He was taken home as a hospice foster, but with loving care, and the com-pany of six rescued Greyhounds, he bounced back to life.

River, a rescued wolf dog, lives at the Full Moon Wolf Dog

Sanctuary and earns his keep by visiting schools and fairs to show what good citizens wolves can be.

Kat, a former race horse, despite winning more than half a million dollars in purses, ended up starv-ing here in Polk County. She was rescued by the Foothills Equine Rescue Association program of the Humane Society, nursed back to health and is living out her years happily munching grass.

The Animal Fair also featured the second North Carolina Mount-ed Infantry re-enactors, who set up their encampment and donned their uniforms to help commemorate the 150th anniversary of the War Between the States. Six soldiers and officers and four horses put on the show. Two of the horses were rescues who now are happily doing their new jobs.

An unusual guest was the Af-rican tortoise that was bought at a pet store as an exotic, but the unsuspecting owner was not told these animals grow to 250 pounds and live to be 150 years old. When the owner tired of it, and a dog injured it, the tortoise was rescued. It is hoped that its broken clavicle can be repaired or a little wheel can be affixed to the shell to enable it to get around when it is bigger.

Creature Comforts, an animal sitting/home security service, is not affiliated in ANY way with the Veterinary boarding facility by the same name.

RESIDENTIAL SPECIALISTChamp, a Great Pyrenees, was one of the hosts. He was rescued from a shelter in Mississippi, nursed back to health and is now a registered therapy dog, who visits schools and nursing homes. He also has a column in the Tryon Daily Bul-letin and is the author of the FHS membership letter.

Another host was Emmett, a miniature Sicilian donkey. He shared guest honors with two peacocks, a miniature donkey and her foal, a miniature goat and her kid, a pen full of pot bellied piglets and an exhibit of snakes from the Spartanburg Science Center.

Among the happy human guests under the big tent and at the pretty tables surrounding the pool were Renee and Jim McDermott, Janet Peterson, Sarah Holmberg, Fred and Sharon Tesche, Ben and Rhonda King, Trip Hoffman and Alan Van Wieren, Jim and Jean Scott, Tucker and Joyce Cox, Nat

and Beverly Ozmon, Judy Davis and Harriet Spencer.

Other guests included Josh Houston and his family, Mike and Amy Ashworth, Tom Delaney and Julia Igoe, Ann Troppman, Don and Lillian Kaspar, Lisbeth and Mike Bickford and their guests, Phil and Marcia Burrus, Nan Holden, Barie Baker, and Donna Martin and Bob Tobey.

“This was my first Animal Fair and I loved it,” said Selena Coffey, FHS executive director. “I can hardly wait for next year.”

Her son, Cooper, age 5, despite braying donkeys and screaming peacocks, was less impressed; he slept through much of the after-noon.

Foothills Humane Society, founded in 1957, is the only open-admission companion animal sheltering organization serving the residents of Polk County and northern Spartanburg and Green-ville counties. More than 1,800 animals find permanent homes through FHS each year. The shelter also runs a low-cost spay/neuter

program with the help of local vets, holds training classes for new dog owners and recently was recognized nationally for attaining a 97.7-percent live release rate for 2011.

“We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.”

~ Mother TeresaWith sweet mountain breezes

and sunshine, one morning I pulled the push mower out, fueled it up and got ‘er going. Last month, I’d taken the thing apart in desperation: cleaned the spark plug connection, put in new gas and oil, and man-aged to put the various assortment of pieces I’d taken off back in the right place. (almost as bad as a Rubik’s cube!)

Believe it or not, the mower roared to life! Off we rolled to various garden areas: the Secret Garden, the Japanese Maple/Fish Pond garden, the Pooh Garden, the Chinese-Demon Garden (that one is the result of a white wisteria that became a demon unleashed, never to be contained again. A reminder that you have to keep some things restricted in a pot for its entire life,

or else you pay the price of freeing it!) By the time the mower and I were finished, it was out of gas and so was I.

Heading inside for water, the itching started: I reached down to check ankles for ticks and other critters. No signs of any trespass-ers, but creepy-crawly sensa-tions continued, long after a shower, on into the next day. Perhaps it’s just the notion of ticks, mites, and other unwelcome guests! I still haven’t found one.

It’s time for the Saluda Arts Festival on May 19 with 80 art-ists/craftspeople. Plan on staying a pleasant day in town: there’ll be art, good food, music and more from one end to the other; making this Saturday a most enjoyable day! Thank you to Polk County Com-munity Foundation for sponsoring

top-notch music. Thank you too, to the volunteers who work cease-lessly all year round on this festival.

The Saluda Tailgate Market is open Fridays at 4:30 p.m. at the city parking lot off Main Street. Offer-ings include fresh vegetables, meat, fruit, honey, baked items, plants

and more. Tom DeKay offers f a rm-grown lamb and fresh caught trout. Now that’s lo-cal fare at its best!

Saluda School: A donation of $500 from Petal Pushers Garden Club will provide materials for enriching and educational garden-ing activities for students in pre-K - fifth grades. Students will work with volunteers from the NCSU Cooperative Extension Service and teachers to create raised beds with herbs and vegetables grown for pizzas for families to share

at a Family Fun Night next fall. Children will create and maintain red wiggler worm bins. How won-derful that our school children can learn gardening and end results of working with the earth! Seeing veggies that you grew yourself on a pizza can’t be beat. The next Family Fun Night at the school will be May 24.

There will be a Memorial Day program in honor of our Saluda veterans and military personnel at the Memorial Monument on Greenville Street on May 28 at 11 a.m.

Saluda Center: Bill Jameson’s art students’ exhibit continues through May 31. Also, mark your calendar for the Saluda Women’s Club fund-raiser “The Saluda Doo Wop Hop” on June 2, 5:30-9 p.m. at Saluda Center. All money raised goes to the scholarship fund for deserving Saluda students.

Dear Savvy Senior,Can you write a column educat-

ing patients on how to prepare for doctors appointments? I manage a number of small health clinics, and have found that patients – espe-cially seniors – that come prepared when they visit our doctors are much more satisfied with the care they receive. Thanks for your help.

~ Patient Educator Dear Educator,You’re right. Studies have

shown that patients who help their doctors by providing important health information and preparing themselves for appointments tend to get better care than patients who don’t. Here are some simple things we can all do to help maximize our next visit to the doctor.

Before your appointment Gathering your health informa-

tion and getting organized before your appointment are the key steps to ensuring a productive meeting with your doctor. This is especially important if you’re seeing multiple doctors or are meeting with a new physician for the first time. Specifi-cally, you need to:

Get your test results: Make sure the doctor you’re seeing has copies of your latest X-ray, MRI or any other test or lab results, includ-ing reports from other doctors that you’ve seen. In most cases, you’ll need to do the leg work yourself, which may only require a phone call to your previous doctor asking them to send it, or you may need to go pick it up and take it yourself.

List your medications: Make a list of all the medications you’re taking (prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, minerals and herbal supplements) along with the dosages and take it with you to your appointment. Or, just gather up all you pill bottles and put them in a bag and bring them with you.

Gather your health history: Your doctor also needs to know about any previous hospitaliza-tions, as well as any current or past medical problems, even if they are not the reason you are going to the doctor this time. Genetics matter too, so having your family’s health history can be helpful. The U.S. Surgeon General offers a free web-based tool called “My Family Health Portrait” (see familyhistory.hhs.gov) that can help you put one together.

Prepare a list of questions: Make a written list of the top three or four issues you want to discuss with your doctor. Since most ap-pointments last between 10 and 15 minutes, this can help you stay on track and ensure you address your most pressing concerns first. If you’re in for a diagnostic visit, you should prepare a detailed de-scription of your symptoms.

During your appointmentThe best advice when you meet

with your doctor is to speak up. Don’t wait to be asked. Be direct,

How to make the most of your doctor’s visitSavvy Senior honest and as specific as possible

when recounting your symptoms or expressing your concerns. Many patients are reluctant or embarrassed to talk about their symptoms, which makes the doc-tor’s job a lot harder to do. It’s also a good idea to bringing along a family member or friend to your appointment. They can help you ask questions, listen to what the doctor is telling you and give you support.

Also consider taking some notes or ask the doctor if you can record the session for later review. If you don’t understand what the doctor is telling you, ask him or her to explain it in simple terms so you can understand. And if you run out of time and don’t get your questions answered, ask if you can follow up by phone or email, make another appointment, or seek help from the doctor’s nurse.

Savvy tip: The National In-stitute on Aging offers a booklet called “Talking With Your Doc-tor: A Guide for Older People” that provides great information including a variety of questions to ask that can help you be a more in-formed patient.
