“Have our lives changed? Oh yes. For the better.”

ACTStryon.org

People who live in an ACTS community fi nd that they enjoy more of life’s little moments. By giving up worries, they’ve gained more freedom and time. They’ve changed their lifestyles, and they say their lives are changed for the better. And that they wish they’d done this sooner.

Amenities, activities and opportunities. Neighbors and friends. A worry-less lifestyle. The financial security of ACTS Life CareTM. That’s an ACTS community.

Let’s get acquainted. Call us today at 1-888-541-3843 for a no-obligation conversation and tour.

or early voting.Residents cast 651 votes on

the first day, something that Polk County Board of Elections Director Dale Edwards said is likely a record first day.

“It prob-ably was the biggest first d a y, ” E d -wards said. “ I t was so busy at the b e g i n n i n g that I gave voters num-bers and sat them in the (commissioners) courtroom to wait to be called.”

Edwards said at times there were more than 30 people wait-ing.

Of the 651 total votes, 499 were cast at the board of elec-tions office in Columbus. Other places to vote early are at the Green Creek Community Center, which saw 90 early voters last Thursday and at the Mill Spring Fire Department, which saw 62 early voters last Thursday.

Qualified Polk residents can also register to vote as long as they early vote at the same time they register. There were eight voters who registered on the first day of early voting.

It is impossible to compare the first day totals with other election year first day totals as final records aren’t kept by day, but in 2010 Polk County voted 4,054 of its total votes early. In 2008, the last presidential elec-tion, Polk County turned out

4,970 early voters.Early voting continues to

grow nationwide, with nearly 1/3 of voting estimated to be done prior to Election Day.

Currently, Polk County has a total of 15,210 registered voters with that number proposed to in-crease by the end of early voting.

Republicans continue to have the most r e g i s t e r e d v o t e r s i n Polk County with a total o f 5 , 3 3 0 . Reg i s t e r ed democrats in Polk County

total 4,853 with 4,988 registered unaffiliated voters and 39 regis-tered Libertarians.

At the close of the 2010 elec-tion, Polk County had 14,934 registered voters, with 5,332 registered Republicans, 4,923 registered Democrats, 4,661 registered as Unaffiliated and 18 registered Libertarians.

Early voting continues Mon-day through Friday at the Polk County Board of Elections Of-fice from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. and at the Mill Spring Fire De-partment and Green Creek Fam-ily Life Center Monday through Friday from noon to 7 p.m.

Sat., Nov. 3 will be the only Saturday locations are open for early voting and will be the last day to vote early. All three locations will be open on Nov. 3 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.

Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 6 where all Polk polling places will be open from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m.

“It was so busy at the beginning that I gave voters numbers and sat them in the (commissioners) courtroom to wait to be called.

Last year’s grand champions, Hogs & Kisses had another good turnout this year as they placed second in the fourth an-nual “Future Legends of BBQ” competition on Oct. 13 at Camp Mondamin in Flat Rock.

Allison Herrmann, 15-year old stepdaughter of former Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree and Madison Arro-wood, 14-year-old daughter of Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arro-wood, placed second overall as they were topped by a team of four kids from Watkinsville, Ga. with the team “Colham Ferry Q School.”

During last year’s Future Legends of BBQ competition, Herrmann and Arrowood won first in ribs, first in sauce and third in the competitor choice category to take the top honors.

The “Future Legends” con-test provides teams of young

Third annual Farm to Fork largest crowd to dateMore than 300 guests came

out in support of the third annual Farm to Fork held Saturday, Oct. 13 at the Mill Spring Ag Center, made possible by more than 30 dedicated volunteers.

M u s i c f r o m l o -cal talent “ Tr i n i t y : Life, Love, M u s i c ” serenaded visitors as t h e y a r -r i v e d b y t r a c t o r pulled hayrides and made their way to beverage areas for wine from Overmountain Vineyards and teas made with local herb simple syrups. To kick off the event, Homeward Angels had children participate in the re-lease of doves. Appetizers such as the PolkFresh Bruschetta, which had been featured that

morning on WLOS ABC 13, tempted palates with “seven farms ingredients in two bites.” As they enjoyed their appetizers, guests meandered through silent auction areas, ventured indoors

to check out the ag c e n t e r ’s l a t e s t p r o j e c t s and min-gled with f r i e n d s and neigh-bors . As t h e s u n

began to set, supper was served and hungry guests gobbled up every last bite of food, which ranged from a delectable stone soup to slow roast goat from White Oak, heritage turkey from Restoration Farm, bison bites from Nelon Knoll, chicken pot-pie from Hare & Hound, sev-eral salads, grilled vegetables,

breads and homemade cheeses. Dessert of apple crumble was offered with homemade vanilla ice cream along with a cup of hot coffee from Open Road. Those that continued to brave the cold as the temperatures quickly dropped were treated to a delightful concert from neighboring county’s Letters to Abigail. The two bonfires stayed crowded up until the silent auc-tion closed and winners left the fire to claim their winnings.

While final profit figures are still being calculated, earn-ings from the silent auction alone are already in excess of $2,400, up more than $1,000 from 2011. Raffle winners, the Breckheimer’s, graciously do-nated their take, which added another $216 to the bottom line.

Planning for next year ’s event will be underway in early 2013 and all who wish to get involved are urged to contact

As they enjoyed their appetizers, guests meandered through silent auction areas, ventured indoors to check out the ag center’s latest projects and mingled with friends and neighbors.

A new restaurant will soon open in Landrum - and in Co-lumbus, Lynn, Saluda, Cam-pobello.

Dark Corner Diner is a food truck - a mobile restaurant - that will bring its offerings to loca-tions around the Thermal Belt beginning in late October or early November. It will be the area’s first true food truck, owner Virginia MacLure said.

Dark Corner Diner will offer gourmet sandwiches, soups, sal-ads and desserts for lunch four days a week.

“The food will be interesting and diverse,” MacLure said. “No hamburgers, hot dogs or french fries.”

Some examples of the offer-ings are a chicken sandwich with Asian pear and Korean mayo, a roast beef sandwich on hoemade pretzel rolls with radish slaw, greens, black pepper mayo and grilled red onion, chicken and spinach soup, Tunisian stew, cornbread salad, white bean and feta salad, chocolate cream cheese brownies, Macadamia nut bars and gingerbread with hot caramel sauce.

MacLure, who used to run

the restaurant in the Open Book store in Greenville, S.C., said the food truck industry is taking the country by storm. In 2011, according to the National Res-taurant Association, food trucks were the single fastest-growing segment of the restaurant indus-try, grossing more than $630 million.

According to MacLure, food trucks have made entrepreneur-ship accessible for many would-be restauranteurs during the eco-nomic reces-sion of the past several years. Another fac-tor that spurred the industry’s g r o w t h w a s express ship-per DHL’s de-cision in 2008 to shut down its U.S. opera-t ions, which put many suit-able trucks on the market at an affordable cost.

The food truck industry is still fighting for legitimacy, Ma-cLure said, both in the food busi-ness and in public perception.

“There are challenges in find-ing good locations that work for all the food providers in an area,” she said. “Towns and cit-ies are still working out ways to offer food truck permits that are

Licensed Acupuncturist Au-tumn Zamzow has opened a second location of her Jade Turtle Clinic, now offering Acupuncture and Tra-ditional Chinese Herbal Medicine at the Essence Day Spa on Storey Road in Tryon. Zamzow added the Tryon location at the request of colleague and client Maureen McManus, who previously prac-ticed acupuncture at the Essence Day Spa.

“Maureen recently retired so she could do some traveling, but she worried about leaving her clients,” Zamzow said. “Because we’ve been colleagues and also each other’s acupuncturist for a long time, she felt she could recom-

mend me and that her clients would be in good hands.”

Zamzow has been practicing at her Lake Lure Jade Turtle Clinic for 10 years. She utilizes Dr. Richard Tan’s Meridian Balance Method and specializes in orthopedic acu-puncture. She earned her masters degree in traditional Chinese medi-cine after completing five years of acupuncture and herbology studies at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego.

For an appointment or to learn more about Jade Turtle Clinic’s services, please call 828-625-2727 or email [email protected].

Dr. Mary Shafer graduated from Lawton High School as co-valedictorian. After high school, she attended Western Michigan University where she studied biomedical science. Upon completing her chiroprac-tic prerequisites she a t t ended Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Mo, where she first earned her bachelor’s of science degree in life science.

While Dr. Mary was com-pleting coursework for her Doctor of Chiropractic degree she also completed courses for her master’s of science degree in sports sci-ence and reha-bilitation and c h i r o p r a c t i c acupunc tu re . Her chiroprac-tic acupuncture courses were instructed by numerous pro-fessors including Dr. Richard Yennie, who brought acupunc-ture to the Chiropractic profes-sion in the United States.

After completing her acu-puncture hours, Dr. Mary chose to take the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners’ Acu-puncture Examination, which is an optional exam for the state of North Carolina.

Dr.Mary went above and beyond North Carolina’s regu-lations for Chiropractic Acu-puncture in order to ensure the best results for her patients.

Chiropractic Acupuncture is a fantastic treatment both in conjunction with and instead of Chiropractic treatments itself. The acupuncture can treat over 2,000 diseases and conditions within the body.

Dr. Mary has successful-ly treated such conditions as toothaches, morning sickness, sinus infections, bells palsy,

knee pains including meniscal tears and arthritis, joint stiff-ness, tingling in hands and fingers, nerve pain, tobacco addictions, obesity and many more.

Recently within Carolina Ch i rop rac t i c Plus patients h a v e b e g u n a c u p u n c t u r e

treatments. One patient received acu-

puncture treatments for knee pain due to decreased joint space and came back after his first treatment reporting not only significantly decreased

knee pain but a decrease in his sinus head-aches . Th is occurs as acu-puncture treat-m e n t s w o r k to balance the energy path-ways within the body and these pathways travel

from the toe tips or fingertips to the head and chest. By channel-ing the energy away from areas of pain and to deficient areas within the body, the treatments are able to care for more than one specific pain at a time. Another patient receiving acu-puncture therapy recently came in stating she may be ready for low back surgery due to her constant sciatic nerve pain.The patient stated that she is now not experiencing any pain at all.

While not every patient will experience these immediate re-sults, they will be able to notice positive changes within just a few quick treatments.

For more information or to schedule a courtesy consulta-tion please feel free to call us at 828-245-0202. Available in the Columbus location at 799 W. Mills Street.

PERSON FEATURED: Wendy Kleiner

BUSINESS: Dogwood Farm Kennels & Grooming

PHONE NUMBER: 828-216-4407

ADDRESS: 171 Sassy Lane, Columbus.

WEB ADDRESS: www.dfkennels.com

OPERATING HOURS: By appointment.

NATURE OF BUSINESS: Boarding and grooming for all sizes of dogs.

PRINCIPAL MANAGER: Josh Goldstein; manager of grooming, Wendy Kleiner

YEAR FOUNDED: 2009

NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES: Just me (for grooming).

HOW’S BUSINESS? Pretty steady.

ONE THING I WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT THIS BUSINESS: Dogwood Farm Kennels is a well known and respected boarding facility here in beautiful Green Creek. I have wonderful regular customers as well as many who want their dogs cleaned up after a vacation playing in our fields. What many people don’t know is that I also offer special grooming ar-rangements for people with elderly or nervous dogs where the owner stays with their dog to help calm the dog, hold him up, or just for reassurance.

SOMETHING YOU OFFER THAT A CUSTOMER WON’T FIND ELSEWHERE: All the dogs I groom get a com-plimentary blueberry facial which relaxes them, smells great and helps to decrease any tear stains. The hydrotherapy bathing system I use pushes the shampoo right to the skin so their coat gets really clean. I also use a deep coat conditioner to moistur-ize the dog’s coat. And all dogs are hand dried- not cage dried the way some other busy places will do. But best of all, your dog gets individual attention with lots of love. We also offer a 10 percent discount to all first responders, family of active military and staff and volunteers of Hospice of the Carolina Foothills.

ADVICE TO YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS: You have a long life ahead…. find something you love to do. It might not be the first thing you try- in fact it rarely is. Ev-eryone benefits when you are satisfied with your job and it makes all the hard work well worth it.

MY FIRST JOB: My first job was working as a registered nurse in a newborn nursery and helping parents learn to care for their new baby. It was my first job in a wonderful 30-year nursing career before becoming a professional full-time dog groomer.

YOUR ROLE MODEL (in business or in life generally): The person who has most helped make me a warm, caring person was my mom. Her unconditional love, support and belief that I could succeed at anything I wanted gave me the freedom to develop into the best I could be.

THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS: No matter how many times this has been said I still believe that treating your customers/clients with the respect we all deserve is one of the most important aspects to running a successful business.

Polk County Department of Social Services will start implementing the NC FAST system for the Food and Nutri-tion Services Program (food stamps) Oct. 22.

North Carolina Families Accessing Services through Technology (NC FAST) is a program designed to improve the way the state and local Departments of Social Services implement programs. It intro-duces new technological tools and business practices that will enable staff to spend less time on administrative tasks.

The main goal is to provide better benefit program access and service to the people of North Carolina.

During the transition to the NC FAST system, the time it takes to complete an initial Food and Nutrition Services

application will take longer. As a result, applicants may experi-ence a longer wait time in the DSS lobby, as well as a longer interview process with the worker. Applicants are asked to be patient during this transi-tion and to plan their schedule accordingly when they come to apply.

Once the NC FAST system is in place, clients will receive benefits in a more timely man-ner, caseworkers’ paperwork will be reduced, and policy changes will be implemented more efficiently and uniformly. After the transition period, ap-plication and processing time will be reduced.

For more information or questions, contact Polk County DSS at 828-894-2100.

The Wolverines’ mens soccer team picked up another conference victory with a 4-1 win over Avery.

The win put the Wolverine’s confer-ence record at 6-3-1.

Coach Lennox Charles was pleased with the win and the performance of the team.

“Even though we still had breakdowns, Monday was the most complete game we have played in a couple of weeks,” Charles said. “It was very enjoyable after losing to them 5-1 at their place.”

Polk County’s offense was extremely active against the Vikings, taking 12 shots on goal.

Polk County senior Daniel Page scored the first goal only 12 minutes into the game. Juan Vera, senior midfielder, assisted on the goal. The Wolverines outplayed the Vikings, controlling the ball for the majority of the first half. Polk County continued to move the ball downfield in attempt to score.

Only three minutes later did senior John Modlin knock in another goal after a corner kick. Fernando Mondragon, a Polk County junior, assisted Modlin. With nine minutes remaining in the first half, Modlin saved Polk County a goal

point attempt by Avery. The Wolverines finished the first half with a score of 2-0.

Eight minutes into the second half, the Vikings were able to get a ball past Polk County goalkeeper Dallas Boone, scoring their only point for the game. Boone, a Polk senior, had five saves for the game. Shortly thereafter, senior Kevin Angier, assisted by

Polk County High School Women’s Tennis began playoffs this week.

Polk County’s first round of playoffs were against Draughn High School’s Wildcats out of Morganton, N.C.

Polk County had two single winners, No. 3 player, Jamie

Greene and No. 5 player, Mack-enzie McCool. McCool also won her doubles match with fellow teammate Naomi Bentley. The final score for the Wolverines was an unfortunate loss, 5-3, with Draughn High School on top.

McCool won her conference singles championship match,

thus advancing to the regional playoffs. Additionally, the Lady Wolverine’s No. 1 player Alivia Livesay and No. 2 Hannah High won Polk County’s conference doubles championship. The players will be playing at Gard-ner Webb College in Boiling Springs, N.C. for the regional playoffs.

Polk County’s final record for conference was 9-7.

The Lady Wolverines fin-ished third in conference. Hen-dersonville was first, followed by Thomas Jefferson.

In the 2A division, Polk County finished first followed by Owen and Mountain Heritage respectively.

The Avery Vikings offense produced weak shots, only making six shots at the goal. To finish, Modlin, assisted by Page, score Polk County’s final goal with 14 minutes in the game.

However challenging the 3-mile trek up White Oak Moun-tain might be, one could only imagine how rewarding the beau-tiful climb really is for a runner.

Head Polk County Cross Country Coach Alan Peoples started the run in 1989, and has run it every year since with the exception of this year. Coach Peoples credits his son, Seth Peoples, with the idea of the run. He claims Seth saw a group of bi-cyclists climbing the switchback roads and thought, why not run it? There is no wonder Seth has since become a high school teacher and cross country coach himself in Greensboro, NC.

Coach Peoples considers the run a “confidence run,” and when the students first start the season as early as July, the coaches be-gin preparing them for the run. At first, the coach explains, the students may be daunted by the thought of such an accomplish-

Runners mark 24th annual White Oak Mountain 3-mile climb

ment. Coach Jenny Wolfe further explains, “It is an extraordinary feat for each and every participant and brings our kids and families together like no other event.”

The students’ and coaches’ hard work pays off come the first week of October and they find themselves making the last sharp upward climb to one of Polk County’s most breath-taking views. Having defeated the gruel-ing road, the students get a confi-dence boost just two short weeks before conference finals begin.

The run began with just the Men’s Cross Country Team. In year 2000, the Women’s Cross Country Team became included and now there are around 40 par-ticipants in the run each year. The high school students also run in a 10-mile path around Lake Sum-mit in Saluda each year, although not scheduled for this season yet.

A local citizen, in memory of her mother, sponsored the run, originally called the “Em-mie Run.” Since then, Coach Peo-ples and his wife have sponsored the run, naming it the “Catheline Run,” in memory of his mother. The sponsorship covers the T-shirts the students and partici-pants receive after completing the run. Coach Peoples has planned a

the run without Coach Peoples.

“ I t j u s t wasn’t the same

without him,” she said. “How-ever, the White Oak run is “our Cross Country family’s most special day,” and the 24th year of the run was no less special for those who participated.”

Sports

In addition to regular trick-or-treating for kids, there are several other events happening in Columbus on Halloween night. Columbus Downtown Merchants Association will hand out candy between 4-6 p.m. in downtown Columbus, while Councilwoman Ernie Kan will distribute candy at town hall from 4-6 p.m. Columbus Baptist Church will host a trunk-or-treat event from 5 p.m. until all candy and good-ies are given away. Columbus Fire Department is handing out apples to all kids that stop by the department.

The Columbus Police De-partment and other safety per-sonnel will be on call to ensure safe trick-or-treating and en-courages everyone to utilize the following tips during the night:

• Parents, remind your chil-dren to look both ways before crossing the street

• Make sure your child car-ries a flashlight, glowstick, or has reflective tape on their cos-tume so they can be seen at night

• Younger children should be accompanied by an adult or an older, responsible sibling

• Remind kids to not eat any treats until inspected by an adult

• Remind kids not to enter a strange house or car

Also, please remember to be extra cautious both nights if you are driving.

Contact the Columbus Police Department at 828-894-5464 or in person at 117 Walker Street, Columbus, if you have any questions.

With the inaugural Tryon Beer Fest, the town will become one of more than 1,300 places in the United States to have a beer festival.

The first-ever event of its kind in the area will be held Nov. 10, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Tryon Depot Plaza between North Trade Street and Pa-colet Street. The festival theme is “Tap Into Tryon!”

Beer festi-vals reflect the interest in the growing national trend toward small brewing companies, micro-breweries and brewpubs that first emerged in the 1980s. The idea was picked up from the United Kingdom, where brewers in the 1970s successfully marketed ales made in casks rather than beers produced in massive vats.

Today there are an estimated 2,075 “craft” breweries in the United States while the three ma-jor breweries in the country (none of which are US owned) still sell the preponderance of beer by vol-ume, mostly mild-tasting lagers.

Small brewing companies thrive due to a nation’s desire for quality and diversity in their beverage of choice even though cost might be slightly higher. For this reason the beer festival has proliferated to showcase dozens

up to 100 craft beers in one place. This allows a person to sample a range of beers to find one or more that agrees with his or her taste without having to purchase six full bottles of each.

Of the country’s craft brew-eries, about 800 are la-beled as mi-crobreweries. To maintain classification as a micro-brewery, an-nual produc-tion must not exceed 15,000

barrels. A barrel contains 31 U.S. gallons. There are also 90 or so regional craft breweries that pro-duce slightly larger quantities but in general do not have national distribution.

Another category of beer mak-er is the brewpub. While some may offer beer-to-go, the brewery is on-premise, usually associated with an attached restaurant. In Germany, for example, some brewpubs have been in business for more than 100 years. There are approximately 1,100 brewpubs in the United States. Most brands of this beer do not come bottled to you; you have to go to it.

The Tryon Beer Fest will provide attendees an opportunity to sample at least one dozen craft beers with the price of admission. Tickets are limited and only those 21 years or older will be admitted

to the event.The Foothills Oompah band,

a group of seasoned entertainers who play a broad range of lively, audience-engaging music, will provide free entertainment. Also on the stage and occasionally roving, will be accordion player Charlie Laughter, willing to play audience requests.

The food fare will fit with the festivities: bratwurst and kielba-sas along with authentic German potato salad and Bavarian sauer-kraut. Large, soft pretzels from the Greenville Pretzel Factory will also be available. Soft drinks and water will be on hand for designated drivers, who will be admitted for half-price.

Tickets may be purchased at Tryon House and La Bouteille Wine and Beer Boutique on North Trade Street in Tryon and at Kath-leen’s in Saluda. Tickets may also be purchased on-line by visiting tryonbeerfest.com.

The same website provides prospective attendees with more details of the event, which is un-dertaken by the Tryon Downtown Development Association. Pro-ceeds will be applied to projects that beautify the downtown and make Tryon even more appealing as a place to live and do business. Many area businesses are spon-sors of the event and volunteers are still needed. Interested persons should visit the website.
