No fee for current Columbus well ownersTown refunds one resident $602by Leah Justice

Columbus residents who currently have wells will not have to pay the towns water availability fee.

The Town of Columbus amended its water availability ordinance this week to include language that grandfathers resi-

dents who are currently getting their water from wells, exempt-ing them from having to pay an availability fee.

The issue arose a few months ago when Columbus resident Su-san Johann expressed concern that she was the only resident not con-nected to the towns water system to pay an availability fee.

Columbus reimbursed Jo-hann $602 she had paid the town

in availability fees and agreed to amend its ordinance.

The availability fee is the towns minimum monthly charge for water.

Columbus Town Council directed town attorney Bailey Nager to draft new language during the towns December meeting. Council approved the

Development of the PolkFresh logo for multi-media use.

Development of website and social networking, packag-ing tailgate display and other marketing tools.

Calling on all area restau-rants and grocers with a Buy 10 Percent Local appeal.

Cultivating relationships

Two of the largest objec-tives are the creation of the PolkFreshTrade Post store, a coopera-tive farm and heritage crafts retail space and an information hub for farming and agri-tourism development, and the development of a regional distri-bution system taking PolkFresh products to more regional agricul-

tural economic clusters in the southeast.

support from four sources: Appalachian Sustainable Ag-

riculture Project (ASAP), which provided $5,000 match-ing funds for market tool development.

Sustainable Agri-culture Research and Educat ion (SARE), which provided $10,000 for building stronger alignment between sus-tainable agriculture and community development strategies in the South.

WNC Agricultur-al Options Community Grant, $19,000 for enhancing existing farm ventures particularly by ad-dressing processing, packaging, marketing and other distribution needs; Randy and Megan Smith of Smiths Sweet Grass Farm in Polk County also received a $6,000 WNC Ag Options grant for an all-natural pastured poultry project.

The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area, which provided $24,000 to help establish the former Mill Spring School as a

resource center for agricultural and other heritage-related busi-nesses.

The regional funders have been watching what we are do-ing in Polk County and they have

really come forward to support our efforts. In terms of the big project, these are small grants, but put together with donated materials and volunteers, these grants are very significant, said Lynn Sprague.

Jackson, owner of Manna Cabanna, an or-ganic local foods market and year-round CSA in

Saluda and project manager of PolkFresh TradePost, said, Polk Countys agricultural develop-ment and farmland preservation is an increasingly important concept for its economic development. We are experiencing amazing unilateral support across the com-munity with local and regional grant opportunities leveraging that support. The PolkFresh TradePost Project is a call out to the old and the young: It is a great time to be a farmer in Polk County.

by Joey MillwoodBefore the season began, Polk

County wrestling coach Brandon Schweitzer had a feeling the Wol-verines might have a team that would be tough to beat. Like most coaches, however, he told his team never to look ahead.

The longer I coach, the more I realize you cant look down the road during wrestling season, he said. You have to address everything one match at a time and take time to develop your wrestlers. Hopefully by January, they are ready to compete and be successful in the conference and the post season.

January arrived, and the Wol-verines have shown theyre ready. Polk County will host Mitchell on Wednesday night at 6 p.m. with the Western Highlands Conference championship on the line.

Its not going to be easy, Sch-weitzer said.

Mitchell always fields an ex-

Polk faces Mitchell Wednesday for conference championshiptremely tough, hard-nosed and well conditioned team, he said. They seem to never have a down year when it comes to wrestling.

How do the Wolverines stack up?

Ive had a chance to take a look at them and I think we match up with them pretty well, Sch-weitzer said. Im looking forward to a very exciting match.

How have the Wolverines gotten to this point?

Polk County has an odd mix of upperclassmen and freshmen. The mixture this season relied on those two ingredients coming together for an explosive product and it hap-pened. In addition to the younger wrestlers developing faster than he imagined, the senior anchors on this team have stepped up.

The seasoned veterans have really taken charge and led this team to where we are now, Sch-weitzer said.

While at this point in the sea-

son, its still a team sport the individual tournaments will begin in the post season many Wolver-ines have excelled on the mat this season. Senior Tyler Philpott has led the charge with an undefeated 25-0 record. Juan Vera, Silvestre Ramirez, J.J. Maxwell, Caleb Russell, Kameron Painter and Jose Ramirez have dominated oppo-nents in their weight classes.

Wednesday night will not be short of any drama. This is the first time the two teams will have met, and it will also be senior night.

You only get one shot at each team so you have to make every-one count, Schweitzer said.

The Wolverines hope this one will add to the count of champion-ship banners hanging on the wall of the gymnasium.

Polks Tyler Philpott wrestles in a match earlier this season. The Wolverine wrestling team hosts Mitchell on Wednesday night at 6 with the Western Conference championship on the line.

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).

groundhog day

a Special Thank you To all our SponSorS!

Groundhog Day has been a tradition every year in America and Canada since 1886. Every Febru-ary 2, tradition states that a groundhog will predict whether Spring will come early, or if we will have to endure six more weeks of Winter. If the groundhog comes out of his burrow and stays above ground, Spring will come on time as predicted, but if the groundhog sees his shadow and is scared back into the ground, we will have six more weeks of Winter and bad weather. This holidays origins go back as far as the Roman Empire. Soldiers in the Roman Legion would make the same predic-tion with a similar animal, the hedgehog. If the hedgehog cast a shadow, then what the Romans called The Second Winter would start. The most famous of the weather-predicting groundhogs lives in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, and goes by the name Punxsutawney Phil. His home, or burrow, in Pennsylvania is called Gobblers Knob. Phil was featured in the popular 1993 movie, Groundhog Day. Other famous groundhogs are General Beauregard Lee in Atlanta, Georgia; Balzac Billy, in Balzac in Alberta, Canada; and Jimmy the Groundhog in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin.

TAC hosts knife making workshopTryon Arts and Crafts (TAC)

will host a knife making work-shop with bladesmith Gerry Drew on Saturday, Feb. 26 and Sunday, Feb. 27. By the end of the weekend, students will have forged several hunting knife blades and created at least one fully functional tool.

Students will learn to forge, heat treat, temper and grind knife blades that can be attached to a bone, antler or wood handle. The goal of this class is to bring students to a basic understanding of knife design and workmanship in the forge.

Instructor Gerry Drew has been making knives for over 25 years using the stock removal method (start with a flat piece of steel and grind off everything that doesnt look like a knife). Recently, after attending a forg-ing class at Tryon Arts and Crafts, he developed an interest in the forged knife.

Drew says, Forging gives a person much more flexibility in designing and building a knife. There are bends, twists and ta-pers that would never be possible with stock removal.

Drews knives are hard work-ing tools that have been used all over the world by hunters, fishermen and campers. A good number of his knives are pur-chased by collectors who are only interested in the art of his knives and never cut a thing.

The workshop will run Sat-urday from 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon - 5 p.m. Stu-dents need to bring lunch, bever-ages, snacks, protective eyewear, leather gloves and earplugs (if desired) and should wear leather shoes and old clothes.

Advance registration is re-quired. For more information about the instructor or work-shop including tuition and sup-ply costs, contact Tryon Arts

Knives By Gerry DreW

and Crafts at 828-859-8323 or [email protected].

More details and examples of projects are available on the Tryon Arts and Crafts website, www.TryonArtsandCrafts.org. There are a limited number of spaces available.

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

Western Carolina Community Action (WCCA) is an organization that began providing summer Head Start programs in Henderson and Transylvania counties in 1966. There was no Early Head Start program in Polk County until funds became available in 2009. WCCA applied for a grant for 120 additional places, to include 32 Polk County children. The Columbus Childrens Center was opened with Early Head Start services of health and development screenings, parent education, high quality child care, and developmentally appropriate learning experiences provided to families. David White, president of WCCA, recently spoke about this effort to members of the Tryon Kiwanis Club, along with several members of the staff. Pictured above (left to right) are Kiwanian Ed Komorous, Jonathan Stanley, Kimberly Bryan, David White of WCCA and Steve Cobb. The childrens book The Big Hare will be donated to the Columbus Childrens Center in honor of the WCCA staff. (photo submitted)

$ $TBOM celebrates anniversary Sunday Feb. 13

Former Feed-A-Kid Program student volunteers Dezma Hodge and Erika Bailey. (photo submitted)

Thermal Belt Outreach will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a Valentine High Tea to be held in honor of Outreachs founder and executive director Eloise Thwing Sunday, Feb. 13.

The tea will be held from 4 to 6 p.m. at Tryon Estates and will feature five gourmet teas, coffee, punch, scones, pinwheel sandwiches, fruits, cheeses and chocolate macaroons.

Tickets are on sale at area banks and at Veras of Lan-drum.

During the evening a slide show on multiple screens will play photos from the 20-year history, including the build-ing, 21 different ministries and programs, a dental clinic and subsidized housing.

All this grew out of a simple idea: Something needs to be done about poverty in Polk County.

When the women of the Church Women United were finally ready to get to work on Feb. 2, 1991, they set up shop in a Columbus United Methodist Church classroom with a tele-phone, volunteers and a half time staff person.

In the first six months of op-eration, most of the help given was for food. Food pantries were set up at local churches.

The Columbus Food Bank was supported by Columbus United Methodist, Columbus Presbyterian and Garrison Cha-pel Baptist Church.

Then there was the St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Food Bank, the Green Creek First Baptist Church Food Pantry and the Tryon Presbyterian Church Food Pantry, which was sup-ported by Holy Cross Episcopal

Church, First Baptist of Tryon, Tryon United Methodist, Tryon Congregational and Thermal Belt Unitarian Fellowship.

It soon became apparent that clients also needed help with rent, utilities, prescriptions, heating and cooling costs and gas to get to work and to doctors appoint-ments.

Outreachs founding chairman of the board, Eloise Thwing, took the job as executive director after only a few months. She set about coordinating services with area social service and health agen-cies, and began raising money to provide assistance not available elsewhere.

The Thermal Belt Outreach budget for 1992 was set at $14,000. Twenty years later, the organization has a budget of nearly $500,000.

Outreach brought many pro-grams to Polk County which were already in existence, but had not been brought to bear on Polk Countys poverty problems.

In 1993, Duke Power added Thermal Belt Outreach to its Share the Warmth program. In 1995, Outreach began its Med-Assist program to help clients ap-ply for low cost and free prescrip-tions offered by pharmaceutical companies.

For two decades, Thermal Belt Outreach kept reaching out and exploring new avenues to help those in need in Polk County.

To end the cycle of pov-erty, Outreach has offered bud-get counseling and job search resources.

In 2010, a total of 2,194 fami-lies were given assistance, repre-senting 5,852 individuals.

In addition to adding programs over the years, Thermal Belt Outreach bought land and built its own headquarters, helped to establish a dental clinic and a subsidized housing apartment complex. Highlights of that his-tory will be told in articles to follow.

Precourt to exhibit in SaludaB.J. Precourt in studio. (photo submitted)

B.J. Precourt begins a month long exhibit on Thursday, Feb. 3, at The Wine Cellar in Saluda. From 7 - 9 p.m., guests will have a chance to meet Precourt and learn about his work, finding out first hand what inspires him.

Precourt isnt easily reached, he does have a telephone (in his house), you cant find his work on your handheld, your laptop or through any other technology. To see his art, you can visit a couple local galleries, his small out-of-the-way barn-workshop, which is next to his home, or you can attend one of his rare exhibits.

Precourt is a self-taught folk art carver and sculptor.

I never had a lesson, he says. I just kind of go with whats in my mind.

Precourt says he believes there are brilliant wood carvers that put a lot of time and effort into their art. As for his own achievements, he is very humble. He doesnt carve to sell, but instead, his ob-jective is to share his work with people. He is passionate about carving.

I have an imagination that overcomes the fact that I dont have a great ability, he says. I let my imagination run wild.

Before he puts knife, chisel or gouge to a piece of wood, Precourt thinks of a story to fit his mood as well as the shape of the wood. The stories come from his dreams, what he reads, what he sees. He says he especially enjoys carving people such as

someone with a large nose or long beard.

Im very observant, he says with a laugh.

All of his carvings are from found wood. Some from the back of factories and landfills, but mostly from my treks through the woods. Gathering takes about as much time as carving says Precourt.

At age 50 Precourt retired from a successful carrier as a glazier in New Jersey to move to North Carolina where he and his wife, Julie, embraced a different lifestyle. First, they restored an old house, and then they proceed-ed to follow their artistic dreams. Julie is an exhibiting quilt maker, active in a local quilters guild.

For more information contact The Wine Cellar at the Saluda Inn at 828-749-9698. The Wine Cel-lar is located at 229 Greenville St. in Saluda.

High fives and high flies High Fives and High Flies

Does your child ever remind you of yourself? Im starting to see my son is a regular chip off the ol rawhide.

Right about this time every year, I start counting down the days to spring. Being from up north, these winters are indeed a cakewalk, but now that Ive been South-e r n i z e d , I have officially turned into a th in-sk inned shadow of my fo rmer se l f . Longing for the first days of spring conjures up sweet memo-ries of what comes along with it. Grass gaining its green tint back, tulips poking through the soil, more time spent outdoors and the sport of baseball begins to sprout.

This year is a little different and a bit nostalgic for me; my son is ready to try his first team sport. Nine years old and having tried every sport at least once, he thinks he knows what he was put on this earth to do become a major league baseball player and make Daddy, I mean, himself millions of dollars! Ok, that was

an ad-lib. That was my dream as a youngster and shockingly it hasnt happened yet.

Every chance little bucko gets he wants to go outside (at the risk of frostbite) to practice. I cant blame him. I used to shovel the driveway of 10 inches of snow just to practice shooting the basketball in that 5-degree weather. I think I can bare

30 something to help him get his swing down pat.

We put on our s tocking hats and gloves

and took our practice to Harmon Field the other day. He wanted to practice on a real baseball field because it made him feel like a real baseball player.

Stepping onto the dirt of the infield, you are transported instantly into a world of your own choosing. Both of us were there to enjoy the prospect that, for a moment in time, we were the center of the baseball world, and we were free.

Ted Williams. Alone in the outfield grass, the world out there stands still as you wait for the ball to come to you.

I feel his excitement as he catches his first fly ball. I feel his terror as one almost wallops him in the head. And watching him hit the ball into the backstop by himself for practice, you cant help but see the dream in his heart.

Watching my son practice made me see something inside him wants to be celebrated. He may not ever make it as a base-ball player, but his desire to be known and to live a successful life is there. Thats what this is all about - getting better, being successful in what we do, in all facets of life.

Weve distorted it to be about fame and glory. Fame and glory at this age, to him, is the stabil-ity of knowing his parents are proud of him.

To us, he IS the center of our baseball world.
