Polk approves Medicaid waiver programby Leah Justice

Polk commissioners agreed last week by a majority vote to join the 1915(b)(c) Medic-aid waiver program for mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services.

If approved by Polk’s mental health local management entity (LME), Western Highlands, the change will mean Western High-lands will administer Medicaid

services. The state currently contracts Medicaid services with ValueOptions and the state is trying to phase the services back to LMEs.

Polk County approved a reso-lution Monday, Feb. 21 to join the program. The vote was 4-1, with commissioner Tom Pack voting against the move.

Commissioners heard last week from Niels Eskelsen, for-

merly with Piedmont Behav-ioral Healthcare, which joined the Medicaid waiver program in 2005.

Eskelsen recommended that Polk join the program, saying after five years, Piedmont is operating 20 percent under the state’s costs per person. He also said consumer surveys have been


Philpott wins state wrestling championshipMaxwell, Vera also place in finalsby Joey Millwood

Polk County wrestler Tyler Philpott’s journey culminated in high school glory last weekend when he brought home a state championship for the first time in his wrestling career.

Two years ago as a sopho-more, Philpott qualified, but didn’t place. Last season, the 285-pounder finished third. This year, after a season littered with vanquished foes, Philpott stood atop the hill alone.

And standing there with his arm held up by the referee, Phil-pott’s only thought was joy.

“It was an unbelievable feel-ing,” the senior said. “It was probably the best feeling I’ve ever had.”

In that moment the first per-son he thought of to celebrate with was his coach, Brandon Schweitzer. The two developed a bond over the last three years and Tyler Philpott (right) in a match at the state championship tournament

last weekend. Philpott won the championship. For more photos, see the photo gallery at www. tryondailybulletin.com. (photo by Jane Ollis)

Schweitzer (a former state cham-pion) guided Philpott down the path to the state championship.

“He knows what it takes to win a state title,” Philpott said. “He led me down the right path.”

In the finals, Philpott found a familiar foe. For the second straight weekend, the Wolverine faced Brevard’s Trey Hemphill. He beat him in the regional finals the week before, 5-2.

“We knew going in that this wouldn’t be a ‘give-me’ match,” Schweitzer said. “We had a lot of talks about maintaining focus and finishing the journey.”

Philpott was aggressive the entire match. Hemphill’s strategy was more defensive, so much so that he was tagged with a stalling penalty in the first period. The match remained tied 1-1 through the third period, when Hemphill was once again penalized for stalling.

“I knew he was backing away the whole match,” Philpott said. “I knew I had to apply pressure.”

That aggressiveness won a state championship and pushed Philpott to the 2A pinnacle in state wrestling.

“It was a good end to the year,” Schweitzer said, “and a nice cul-mination of Tyler’s hard work.”

Two other Wolverines placed in the finals as well. J.J. Maxwell capped off his season with a

runner-up prize in the 171-pound class. Juan Vera finished runner-up in the 103-pound category.

ARC Services of Rutherford Polk changes namesby Samantha Hurst

No longer affiliated with The ARC of North Carolina or The ARC of the United States, the ARC of Rutherford Polk, which provides social services for individuals with developmental disabilities, is now the Foothills Social Network.

Board treasurer Francis Tatnall said the group will retain its 501(c)(3) status. He said while the board is sad about the change he believes it will be beneficial in the long run.

He said the board didn’t think it could spare even the $350 the national organization was asking for annual dues. After all, he said they operate on less than $5,000 annually.

“As a result of our announce-ment we’ve got a bit more interest from people who haven’t been involved before,” Tatnall said. “We are a relatively small group – many of us getting older – and we need to keep focused on what we do best.”

What they do best, Tatnall said, is provide a social network for individuals with developmental disabilities.

A b o u t 7 0 p e o p l e t y p i -cally show up for bowling and pizza in Forest City once a year, Tatnall said. The group also hosts a Funfest in the fall with bingo and prizes, a h a y r i d e a n d refreshments . Then near the holidays they en-joy the Jinglebell Hop, a dance at the Episcopal Church in Tryon.

“The folks with developmen-tal disabilities have a difficult time finding places to socialize,”

Tatnall said. “Many of them live in group homes or with par-ents, and transportation problems

prevent them from gett ing together. They need a place where they can be sure they’re not going to get harassed or be made fun of – they need to be made comfort-able.”

Many also have very lim-ited resources, Tatnall added. He sa id the Foothills Social Network wants

to improve their lives in any way they can.

“We could either spend all we have on dues to the larger par-

ent organizations, or continue to provide the social experiences we have established that enrich the lives of people with developmental disabilities and/or mental illness,” the board said in a statement.

The group organized eight years ago. Since then they have received most of their funding through local community orga-nizations such as Thermal Belt Rotary and businesses such as Walmart and Zaxby’s. Members also pay regular dues.

“It varies,” Tatnall said. “Some-times we think we are going to go out of business but then someone will come along and donate a few hundred dollars to allow us to do another event,” he said.

Anyone interested in partici-pating, volunteering, becoming a member or donating can call 828-859-7099 in Polk County. Donations may be sent to Foothills Social Network, P.O. Box 501, Rutherfordton, N.C. 28139.

waiver program and Eskelsen answered “yes,” but said fund-ing is based on a fixed rate, not a fixed sum.

“This could get complicated real fast,” Eskelsen said. “They do cap funding that the LME is going to have, but it’s based on historical costs. They give you a fixed amount based on the number of Medicaid recipients who live in your area. If the number of Med-icaid population goes up, you will get more.”

Eskelsen said the big risk is that Medicaid is an entitled ser-vice, meaning you can’t deny a Medicaid recipient a service that is recommended, but the LME is obligated to find and fund those services.

If the majority of the eight counties in Western Highlands approve the Medicaid waiver, Western Highlands will receive approximately $93 million more in funding for the Medicaid service. The added responsibility will mean approximately 50 more employees for Western Highlands.

Western Highlands has recom-

mended that its counties approve the waiver, as has the Polk County Mental Health Advisory Board.

Of the eight counties in Western Highlands, only a few have voted on the waiver, but all have been in favor.

The resolution that Polk County approved last week included lan-guage that ensures Polk will not be financially responsible for any more funding to Western High-lands than it gives annually for the services.

The resolution also calls for the eight county managers to continue to oversee the Western Highlands board and that monthly reports be given. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson is the current chair of the Western Highland board.

Western Highlands consists of the counties of Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania and Yancey. Polk County joined the LME in 2002 after the state reformed mental health and man-dated that counties join together to form LMEs.

“We could either spend all we have on dues to the larger parent organizations, or continue to provide the social experiences we have established that enrich the lives of people with developmental disabilities and/or mental illness.”

Farmers markets to accept EBT/debit payments this yearby Samantha Hurst

Local farmers market orga-nizers expect to make it easier for consumers to purchase fresh, local vegetables from farmers markets this season with the installation of EBT/debit ma-chines.

Patrick Mclendon, who serves the Polk County Office of Agricultural Economic Develop-ment from AmeriCorps’ Project Conserve, said the segment of the population that falls within EBT and food stamp income brackets is often left behind in local food actions.

“They are regulated to what they can buy,” Mclendon said. “So we wanted to provide this service not only for our vendors as another source of income, but so members of the community could spend their money on lo-cal, fresh nutritious produce.”

To rectify this situation and connect more people with lo-cal food, the Rutherford-Polk-McDowell District Health De-partment’s Eat Smart Move More NC program provided the necessary funding to initiate the program.

The $500 donation allowed managers of local markets to purchase and maintain a wireless point of sale machine to process EBT, credit and debit transac-tions, Mclendon said.

Few markets in Western North Carolina currently provide access to EBT and Food Stamp machines, he said. Mclendon said he can’t count the number of

people who leave the market on a given day because they don’t have enough cash on hand.

McClendon said the process would work like this: customers at the markets wishing to pay for produce and other items with any of the above methods would stop by a central booth where they would pay for market tokens or scrip. The customers could then use those tokens at any vendor booth that displays a sign indi-cating they accept tokens.

Those vendors would then turn in their tokens at the end of the day and receive a receipt for their records. They would receive a check in that amount in the mail or at the next market.

Mclendon stressed the pro-gram is voluntary for vendors and none will be required to participate. He said he does en-courage participation, however, because it would benefit not only consumers but vendors as well.

“The goal of the program is to increase the use of EBT and Food Stamps funds by eligible consumers to increase local and nutritious food consump-tion while also generating a new source of customers for vendors,” reads the program manual.

Two separate tokens, dis-tinctly marked by color, will be used to distinguish between EBT and credit card customers. This must be done because EBT can-not be accepted for the purchase of non-food items such as soaps and crafts. EBT customers can

return their tokens for a refund on their account but they cannot receive change for their tokens.

One key point for consum-ers to know is that they will be allowed up to $25 per token transaction and two transactions per day. Therefore, they will not be able to obtain more than $50 in tokens in a given market day. They can use their leftover tokens for future markets.

“It becomes a much bigger connection to the local food movement and they in turn spend their money and it grows our economy in Polk County,”

Mclendon said. He said the consumption of

local food also helps reduce an area’s reliance on gas and big box corporations.

“We saw a rise in local food buying the last time [gas prices rose] because they didn’t want to drive to go shopping for pro-duce. If we can keep more things coming to our tables from Polk County it makes us more able to weather potential economic storms,” he said.

The program will begin with the first farmers market of the year on April 19.

Asparagus producers may be eligible for federal grant fundsSign-up period for grants ends April 8

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced recently that $15 million is available to domestic asparagus producers to compensate for marketing losses resulting from imports

during the 2004-2007 crop years. Affected producers may now apply for compensation.

The Asparagus Revenue Market Loss Assistance Pay-ment Program (ALAP) is au-thorized by the Food, Conser-vation and Energy Act of 2008 (Farm Bill). The Commod-

ity Credit Corporation (CCC) will provide an allocation of $7.5 million in payments for asparagus marketed as fresh, and $7.5 million for processed asparagus. The sign up period ends on April 8, 2011.

Eligible producers must also have produced and marketed

asparagus in commercial quan-tities in commercial markets in the U.S. during both of the 2003 and 2007 crop years.

For more information, con-tact the nearest Farm Service Agency county office or visit www.fsa.usda.gov.

McCue speaks on history of art in Tryon March 6

The Skyuka Fine Art Gallery will present its first lecture on the history of art in Tryon, a century of notable artists, collectors, patrons and galleries, on Sunday, March 6 at 3 p.m.

Guest speaker Michael McCue will share his ex-tensive knowledge of local artists, art exhibitions and galleries.

Locations to be highlighted will include the Lanier Library, Pine Crest Inn, Blue Ridge Weavers, Rock House Gallery, Episcopal Parish House, Tryon Fine Arts Center, The Upstairs Gallery and more.

Artists discussed will in-clude Amelia Watson, George Aid, Robert Pearson Lawrence, Homer Ellertson, Lawrence Mazzanovich, William Beh-rends, Richard Christian Nel-son, among others.

McCue is a graduate of Har-vard College, where he studied art history. He lived in Tryon from 1983-1993 and resided in the cottage of author and artist Margaret Morley (1858-1923). McCue was proprietor of Pho-toGraphia, a Tryon commercial art gallery, which focused on contemporary photography by North Carolina and out-of-state artists.

While in Tryon he was active at the Upstairs Gallery, where he curated shows and initiated the Carolinas Photography Bi-ennial. In 2000 he authored the exhibition catalog for a survey of the oeuvre of Tryon modern-ist Homer Ellertson at the Tryon

Fine Arts Center. In 2001 he was guest curator

at Asheville Art Museum for “Lawrence Mazzanovich; Im-pressionist Paintings of Tryon.” This was the museum’s first retrospective of a Tryon artist.

McCue is the treasurer for the Asheville Area Arts Coun-cil, has served on citizen panels for the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington, is a board member of American Historical Print Collectors So-ciety and has written articles for their publications. McCue is also a publisher of original research on artists Millspaugh and Karlow.

McCue is also the author of “Tryon Artists: 1892-1942,” out of print, and “Paris & Tryon-George C. Aid and His Artistic Circles in France and North Carolina.”

This is a free event and seat-ing is limited. Light refresh-ments will be provided. McCue will be available for book sign-ings after the lecture.

styles, techniques and materials that are used in both glass and fiber arts.

The inspiration for the show came from a recent discussion at the school about the commonalities found in so many crafts.

The fascination with the similari-ties and contrasts in texture and pat-tern between glass and fiber seemed especially strong and needed to be explored through an exhibit. The collection in the gallery is the result.

Explore the show to see how stained glass panels mirror quilted pieces. Woven glass hangs beside hand woven tapestry, showing how much technique can change when using different materials.

Colors fused in glass change just as they do when dyed in a silk scarf while other glass pieces emulate the depth and texture of knitted cables or embroidery.

The artist’ wine and cheese recep-

tion on March 4 will be held in honor of all the artists who have shared their work with the community. The event is free and open to the public; all are welcome to attend.

Tryon Arts and Crafts is a non-profit crafts school located at 373 Harmon Field Road in Tryon and exists to provide creative opportuni-ties for everyone.

Welcome to the

Hanukkah & Kwanzaa

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight can-dles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews. When the Jews would not worship the pagans, Epiphanes raided and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. After seven years of fight-ing, Maccabee regained control, and the Temple was restored. The famous story states that only a small vial of oil was found to light the eternal lamps, yet they were blessed and burned for eight days, giving the Jewish people enough time to acquire more oil for the lamps. The symbolic lighting of the menorah occurs at sundown for the eight days during Hanukkah. Children also trade gifts and play with games and toys, such as a driedel. Special foods, such as fried potato cakes and fried donuts, are served during Hanukkah. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Professor Maulana Karenga, a Black Studies professor from California State University in Long Beach, California. Kwanzaa is a celebration of the African family and culture. It begins on December 26 and ends on January 1. The name Kwan-zaa comes from the Swahili term which means “first fruits of harvest.” Much like the menorah of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa has seven symbolic candles lit each night symbolizing aspects of the culture. Each night, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa-- unity, self-determination, col-lective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith--is discussed. Kwanzaa is also represented by seven symbols--crops, a mat, a candleholder, the seven candles, ears of corn, gifts, and the Kikome Chad Umoja (The Unity Cup).

The Land Of China China is the largest country on the Continent of Asia and is home to more than one-sixth of the entire world’s population. Due to its vast size, it has a very diverse mix of climates and geography. It has a rich and ancient history, with evidence of some of the first people more than 100,000 years ago in the lands that today are known as China. The major crop and staple in China is rice. The official language is Mandarin Chinese, and many people practice Taoism, which is more of a life philosophy than a faith. Other religions are found in China, such as Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. The Capital of China is Beijing, which is home to the largest square in the world, Tiananmen Square. Most of the Chinese population live outside of the cities in rural towns and villages. The civilization of China has been in existence for more than 4,000 years. The first dynasty, The Shang dynasty, was established around 1700 BC. Each dynasty was ruled by a succession of emperors. After the Shang dynasty end-ed around 1100 BC, several others ruled, such as the Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties. Between the Song and Ming dynasties, a group of invaders called the Mongols, led by Genghis Khan, took control of China. They held control of the empire for almost 90 years. The Qing was the last dynasty of the Empire of China. In 1912, amid a rebellious campaign to bring about change in the Chinese Empire, the last Emperor of China stepped down, declaring China a Republic. During the early 20th century, China’s gov-ernment was converted to a communism; on October 1, 1949, the Country was renamed The People’s Republic of China with President Hu Jintao as the Head of State. The Island of Taiwan, which was once part of the same govern-ment as mainland China, is referred to as simply The Republic of China. Many disputes over who actually governs the island remain today.

Saluda potter David Parris will be featured at the “Meet the Artist” event at The Wine Cellar at the Saluda Inn on Thursday, March 3 from 7 - 9 p.m. where guests will have a chance to meet Parris and learn about his work. He will have some large pots and vessels on display and for sale during the month of March.

David Parris has lived most of his life in the small mountain town of Saluda. Parris spent many years expressing himself through the art of woodcarv-ing. While taking his first pot-tery lesson at the Tryon Arts and Crafts with Andrew Stephenson, he realized he could use his wood carving skills and tools to carve the clay. That is when he started carving face jugs.

Parris has attended several local art schools and seminars taking with him more knowl-edge, which has given him more freedom. Parris’ style blends the basic primitive with the creative and artistic.

“Pottery allows me to work and create with my hands. It gives me a chance to experiment with different clays, glazes and techniques. I really enjoy the challenge and art of making large pots,” says Parris.

Call 828-749-9698 for more information.

4ALL Statewide Service Day will be held Friday, March 4. This annual statewide day-of-service campaign commits to making legal services avail-able to all North Carolinians, focusing on those at or below the poverty level.

On March 4, toll-free phone lines will be made available to call-in and speak with volunteer attorneys across the state.

The public should call 800-289-0013 or 855-455-4255 for Spanish speakers.


Talk to a lawyerA new artist’s group has been

formed – Tryon Area Plein Air Society (TAPAS). En plein air is a French expression which means “in the open air” and is used to describe outdoor painting.

Artists have long painted outdoors, but in the mid-19th century working in natural light became particularly important to the Barbizon school and Impres-sionism.

The popularity of painting en plein air increased in the 1870s with the introduction of paints in tubes. The local area has a

long history of artists painting en plein air, both individually and in groups, and this group strives to continue the tradition.

The TAPAS group is for artists with an interest in the participa-tion and promotion of plein-air painting, by connecting members with each other as painting com-panions and providing opportu-nities to paint local landscapes outdoors.

The group will also promote community awareness of plein-air painting through exhibits and the organization of paint-outs.

TAPAS paint-outs are cur-rently held on the first Saturday of the month at 1 p.m. The March paint-out will be Saturday, March 5 in Saluda, meeting in front of Ward’s Grill at 1 p.m.

The group will paint in town or on the property at Cabin Fever.

There is no cost or dues for group participation, but bring your own supplies.

For more information, e-mail [email protected] or contact Jocelyn Davis at 828-894-5671 or Carl Cartee at 864-457-5122.

Hikers should wear appropri-ate clothing and footwear; bring a bag lunch and/or snack and plenty of water.

Be sure to bring any personal medication you may require.

Foothills Music Club presents organ concert March 10The Foothills Music Club will

present its annual organ concert on Thursday, March 10 at 3 p.m. in the sanctuary of the Tryon Presbyterian Church, located on Harmon Field Road in Tryon.

The public is invited to at-tend this program, which is titled “The Wonderful World of Organ Music.”

Organists performing this year will include Carole Bartol, John Gardner, Eleanor Roemer, Lesley Bush – the minister of music at Tryon Presbyterian – and also Su-san Mehnke, who is the organist/choir director for the Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Tryon.

The world of organ music is vast and includes compositions that go back several hundred years in time.

It also involves some of the

world’s most famous musicians, such as Pachelbel, J.S. Bach, Handel, Brahms, Widor, Dupres, Ralph Vaughn Williams and more. Many nationalities are also represented. A few of these composers will be featured in this special organ presentation.

In addition to the organ solos, the instrument will be used to accompany a choral ensemble of club members and friends.

The group will sing “Look at the World” by John Rut-ter as the final selection of the program. The music will also be enhanced by a flute obligato, played by Fran Creasy.

The Foothills Music Club is an affiliate of the Tryon Fine Arts Center.

It was formed in 1988 for the purpose of encouraging members

to maintain their musical profi-ciency, whether instrumental or vocal, through performances.

Each year, the FMC also awards scholarships to deserving young musicians in the area.

Auditions for 2011 will be held on March 4 and 5 in the

Tryon Presbyterian Church. Applications are available by

calling 828-894-6493.The March concert is open to

the public and is part of the cel-ebration of the 125th anniversary of the town of Tryon.

Landrum Garden Club plans meeting for March 3

On November 10, 2010, VFW Post 10349 and the Ladies Aux-iliary of Mill Spring gave a presentation on Americanism to the third, fourth and fifth grade students at Tryon Elementary School.

The students put on a short program about Veteran’s Day and they introduced the present-ers from the post: Johnny Taylor, post quartermaster/16 District commander; Gerry Taylor, ladies auxiliary president, post com-mander Kurtis Pike and Tommy Burrell, post chaplain.

A student led the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. After the

pledge, commander Pike, Taylor and Burrell folded the flag with assistance of the scouts, while Taylor explained what each fold meant.

The students were told the proper way to handle and care for the flag and the proper way to retire an old worn and torn flag. The presentation was on the origin of the pledge, the evolution of the flag, “I Am the Flag” and Veteran’s Day.

After each presentation there was a question and answer pe-riod. Handouts, certificates and patriotic items were given out.

Letter to the Editor

Protect your rights to compensationTo the Editor:

I would like to inform the working public about a serious threat to the rights of injured workers.

Some North Carolina lawmak-ers are introducing legislation, which if passed, will drastically reduce workers’ compensation benefits. Families that rely on workers’ compensation benefits to pay for food, clothing, shelter and other basic necessities may be unable to pay their bills.

Your state representatives are being pressured by big business and insurance company lobby-ists to significantly reduce these benefits. Some of these changes may apply to you.

One of the changes being pushed is a law that will auto-matically cut off weekly workers’ compensation benefits after a certain number of weeks. This law will automatically stop weekly benefits to an injured worker, even if he or she is still disabled and un-able to return to any type of work.

Another change being pushed will stop compensation even before the automatic cutoff if the insurance company can show there is a job within the injured workers’ physical restrictions. Compensation will be stopped,

even if the employer will not hire the worker because of the worker’s injury, age education or experience.

Compensation will be stopped even if the job pays a lot less than the workers’ pre-injury job, and even if the job has no room for advancement and no benefits.

The insurance companies want absolute control over selecting which doctors will treat injured workers and they want the right to pick up the phone and talk to your treating doctors, without your knowledge or permission.

Don’t let our state government hand out corporate welfare to the business and insurance companies while they cut off needed benefits to injured and disabled families.

If benefits are cut off, injured workers may have no choice but to shift to public benefit programs. Our state budget can’t take on this burden, which is the responsibil-ity of the employer or insurance company.

Our economy needs to grow and it cannot grow if families can no longer pay for their food, houses, or cars.

The only way to prevent this bill from becoming law is for you, your friends and family to contact your local legislators and ask them to vote against this bill. Your state house representative and state senator need to hear from you NOW.

The contact information for your elected officials is listed below. Call and write them and tell them to vote against new laws that reduce benefits to injured workers.

Another life–lesson learned from kids

Grassroots

by Chris Jakubowicz

I don’t ever want to grow up – no, no, never, never, no way.

I have aged enough. Thirty-four years are plenty to pack on this body and now it’s time to stop. Here I go. I’m stopping.

I wonder what age I went wrong?

Looking back – I should have stopped at 30, a nice round num-ber. It’s the perfect age to call it quits in this “growing up” saga everyone gets caught up in. After all, I had a successful business at that age, entrepreneurial mastermind I was. My kids were each four years younger, which makes them less expensive to feed.

Plus, I could chase them around the house and have tickle time and read books. Now they’re older and wiser, and they both read to me and tickle me.

Better yet, let me back it up a little. Looking back I should have stopped at 24. Just out of college, getting married and my entire life was ahead of me – a time of hope and expectation.

Visions of a career, a house in the ’burbs with a white picket fence, kids, a dog and cat, and some daintily manicured bushes along the front were in the fore-front of my thoughts.

The American dream was alive and vibrant. I was going to conquer the world... with no job.

We were living off of thrift store clothes, discount groceries and hand-me-down furniture. We were ready to tackle this puny

“real world” we heard so much about from our elders.

Ok, ok, maybe 18 was a good age to stop now that I contemplate a little more.

Graduating high school and having that whole “under my parents roof” chapter over with was quite exhilarating. Driving an old Dodge Daytona that I was paying for myself as I built up my

credit on a co-signed loan with my Dad. I was fresh out of win-ning the varsity baseball con-ference. High

school love was still in full swing, as well as regular occurrences of acne outbreaks.

Best friends that I saw every-day; secrets told in the hallways, teachers I liked and connected with, and others who just as-sume never had met young and annoying Chris Jakubowicz. Pep Rally’s, dances, weekends out and friends graciously offering up their parents’ house in lieu of their absence.

The only care we had was if we had the latest music blasting in our cars and that our clothes matched and didn’t stink. Of course, ado-lescence is a time no one would want to revisit. It was awkward just being alive some days.

I probably missed it at a young age and was too ignorant to realize it. I’ll follow Tom Hanks’ lead and realize that 8 was a good year to stop.

At that age every day was a dreamland. It’s always a holiday in this world and my kids real-

ize it. No cares or needs except food. No jobs except to play and dream big.

You can be anybody or any-thing you want to be by the vehicle of your imagination. Parents did all of the worrying for us because they were ignorant enough not to stop growing up themselves.

Meals were cooked for us, money didn’t matter, we did no laundry or cooking and cleaning under our fingernails was not an option.

We are taught to have faith like a child. This mindset is lost somewhere between producing mud pies and making sure your tuxedo tie is straight and you have no stray hairs. My kids show me this on a daily basis.

There are days I literally be-lieve they are simultaneously liv-ing on another planet while living under my roof. Maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe we all need to act like we are living on other planets. That feels better already, I suddenly feel the urge to eat a moon pie.

That’s why I’m choosing to stop at 34. I am way past due. I’ve lost the childlike realm of possibil-ity; I’m putting my foot down and getting that 8–year–old mentality back!

Much to the chagrin of my wife.

Chris Jakubowicz lives in Co-lumbus with his wife and children. His bi-weekly column will focus on how he and his family are try-ing to get back to their grassroots. Jakubowicz can be reached by e-mail at [email protected].

Letter to the Editor

Chamber wants to set record straightTo the Editor:

On behalf of the chamber board, I wish to respond to the notion expressed by some folks quoted in the article on travel and tourism that the chamber does not support tourism-related businesses.

One person even went so far as to state that most tourism-related businesses had dropped out of the chamber. A quick check of our membership database indicates that we have at least 83 member businesses directly related to tour-ism, including 16 accommodations providers (the large majority of whom are located within Polk County), 16 restaurants, 14 shops and stores and five equestrian-

related organizations, as well as entertainment businesses, spas, golf courses, museums, wineries and real estate businesses.

Each of these businesses has a direct vested interest in a thriv-ing tourism environment in Polk County, and the chamber continues to work toward that goal.

We just want to set the record straight.

On Saturday, March 19, the 33rd Super Saturday will turn Tryon into a happy place filled with all sorts of performers bring-ing delight to children of all ages.

And at the Congregational Church at 10:45 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., poet/performer/educator Allan Wolf will stir things up with his unique approach to poetry.

Wolf’s poems for children cel-ebrate kids for who they naturally are – good and bad. After all, what would a poet who boasts

he can recite hundreds of poems from memory, yes, but also who didn’t like school, has a pet chicken named Attila the Hen, has two goldfish named Lewis and Clark, and who dreams of one day living in a house with a secret room write about?

Wolf lists his favorite things during his youth as skateboard-ing, track, snakes, tarantulas, friends, snow days, girls, music and writing on his bedroom walls. Clearly not a “stuffy” poet.


Children in the audience cheered on steam shovel Mary Ann in Tarradiddle’s “Mike Mulligan & His Steam Shovel” during 2010’s Super Saturday. The Tarradiddle Players will be back March 19, - this year’s Super Saturday - with “Commedia Princess & the Pea.” The show will be held at the Episcopal Parish Hall at 1:15 and 2:30 p.m. (photo by Mara and Ford Smith)

Words come alive with Super Saturday
