breaking into one residence inside the Tryon city limits where jewelry was stolen. Officials say they also know of two other incidents in the Gillette Woods area outside of the Tryon city limits.
The Lake Lanier area and Dug Hill Road, both located in Green-ville County, S.C., perhaps had the most incidents in the case. At-tempts to contact an officer with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office to know the exact number of homes involved were unsuccessful as of press time.
Victim Linda Clark said on Feb. 22 she was away from her residence between the hours of around noon to 5 p.m. She said her wedding ring, two gold chains and her husband’s prescription medica-tion were stolen.
“I didn’t realize anything had happened until the next day,” said Clark.
She said they took prescription medication from her husband, but instead of taking the whole bottle, they just took about half the pills out. She said she knows they were stolen because the prescription had just been filled a couple days prior and she had cleared off the counter before she left. She said something was on the counter that would have had to be moved to get to the cabinet.
Chief Arrowood said several victims did not realize their homes had been broken into until later because of the manner in which the suspects robbed homes. The crimes occurred during the day when no one was home. The homes were left seemingly un-touched.
Arrowood said some victims reported one of the subjects came to their door days before the rob-bery was discovered and asked for directions.
Neighbors began talking about
the break-ins, Arrowood said, and a description of a suspicious ve-hicle was determined. Arrowood said neighbors came up with a silver Honda with different license plates, from California. He said one victim knew Kessler and ran his name in pawn shops and some of the stolen items were discovered.
Arrowood said area residents had a big part in solving the case.
John JaCoB Kessler Karen phillips Byrd
“The neighbors called each other and between Dep. Cordell in Greenville County and the neigh-bors, they came up with a suspect,” Arrowood said.
Kessler is being held at the Greenville County Detention Cen-ter under over $55,000 in bonds. Byrd is being held at the Hender-son County Detention Facility under a $15,500 bond.

Letter to the Editor
Protect tourism interests for better future of county
To the Editor: I am a Polk County property
owner, and interact with Polk County Travel & Tourism, as the landlord of a seasonal rental house. I encourage their efforts to remain as an independent group, separate from the cham-ber of commerce.
In Aiken, S.C., the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce
operated a tourism initiative for a time, but realizing in-evitable conflict of interests, the chamber stepped away from Tourism.
Now, Aiken County as well as the cities of Aiken and N. Augusta, each has their own tourism department.
Perhaps even more impor-tantly, it is possible, and not unlikely, for a local chamber of commerce, in response to national business trends and U.S. Chamber of Commerce directives, to lose sight of deli-cate local issues, which should guide in the protection of an area such as Polk County.
Polk County’s unique, un-spoiled countryside, and quaint villages continue to draw prop-erty owners such as my own
family, who continues in the fifth generation to invest and spend time in the Saluda area, as well as repeat “visitors” who appreciate the charm of the area.
Depending on “tourism” dollars leaves any area vulner-able to over development, and without stakeholder representa-tion, it is too easy to lose the goose that laid golden egg.
As a Polk County property owner, who would not be in-clined to join the chamber of commerce, I appreciate having Polk County Travel & Tourism at the helm.
I believe their effort toward “eco-tourism,” is the safest way to draw the right visitors to Polk County.

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 NaTioNal aeroNaTics aNd space admiNisTraTioN
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA, was formed in 1958. Its mis-sion was to research and test aeronautics, to explore space, to study the Earth and the solar system, and to create new technologies. These technologies include the modern space shut-tle, communications and weather-monitoring satellites that are now in orbit around Earth, as well as many other things that have made life on Earth easier. The first major space explora-tion project was called the Mercury project, which established that space flight was safe for humans. In 1961, Alan Shepard was the first American, and the second man, to enter space. The next space mission was the Gemini project, followed by the great Apollo missions, which
included Apollo 11. This is the mission that landed the first man on the moon in 1969. Neil Arm-strong was the first man to walk on the moon, and his crew member, Buzz Aldrin, was the second man out of the shuttle. The Apollo 13 mission, where a faulty oxygen tank almost cost the lives of
the three astronauts, was made into a major motion picture. Since the early days of NASA, many dis-coveries about the Earth and space have been made. Robotic spacecrafts, or deep-space probes, have been sent to explore the solar system. On March 18, 2011, the probe Messenger is scheduled to arrive in Mercury’s orbit. NASA’s headquarters are located in Washington, D.C. All launches into space are made at Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida, just north of Cape Canaveral. This center was named after President John F. Kennedy, who challenged the United States to have a man on the moon by the end of the 1960’s; President Kennedy’s dream became a reality.

A to Z Kid’s News would like to formally apologize for the ‘Color It’ segment included on the Transpor-tation page. In no way was it meant to highlight an
infamous figure during a terrible period of history, nor was it meant to downplay those awful events. Our
intent was solely to comment on a portion of the his-tory of transportation. We realize the insensitivity of the matter and send our regrets to anyone to whom it may have caused distress. Educating our children about positive events in history is our ultimate goal. We also apologize for the error of the picture that was shown. It was not, of course, a Volkswagen

Wolverines blank West in baseball season opener 9-0by Daniel Hecht
It wasn’t exactly the way Polk County baseball coach Ty Stott planned to fill out the opening day lineup card, but there it was – Wolverine ace pitcher Lucas Cash penciled in as DH in the #5 spot.
Cash, who suffered an injury to his throwing arm in a preseason scrimmage versus Brevard, would not be taking the hill to open the season against the Falcons of West Henderson.
“I felt good throwing to the first three (Bre-vard hitters), but after a couple of pitches to the fourth bat-ter, (my arm) started to hurt and I took myself out of the game,” Cash said at the season opener Thursday, March 3 versus the West Henderson Falcons. A doctor’s visit confirmed what Cash (and the rest of the Wol-verine coaches and players) had hoped to hear – the diagnosis was likely a mild bout of tendonitis, a condition requiring a relatively short rest.
“The doctor said that since (my arm) didn’t hurt after I stopped throwing, it was probably just tendonitis and not something more serious like ligament damage,” said Cash. “I’m taking it one day

at a time, but I hope to be back for either Madison or Mountain Heritage.”
Polk is scheduled to play Madison at home on Tuesday, March 15 and travels to Mountain Heritage the following Friday, March 18.
Undaunted by the absence of their ace hurler, the Wolverine pitching staff combined for a solid opening day performance, allowing just five hits and shut-
ting out a Falcon team that has struggled in the early going this season. Dakota Turner started for the Wolver-ines and pitched a solid 3-1/3 in-
nings, giving up just three hits and walking two.
In the top of the fourth, with one out and Falcon runners at the corners, Stott tapped Alec Philpott to relieve Turner. The sophomore, pitching in his first varsity contest for the Wolverines, came up huge, striking out the final two batters to end the inning. Philpott went on to allow just two more hits.
Roberto Taft took the mound to close out the seventh, striking out two of the final three batters and preserving the 9-0 shutout.
Polk’s offense, expected to be a strong point this season, did not
disappoint. With the Wolverines up 2-0 in the bottom of the fifth, Joel Booker went yard on West’s Mi-chael Perry, driving a fastball over the 345-foot sign in center field. Booker finished the game 2 for 3 with 3 RBIs.Catcher Rooster Ross went 2 for 4 with a double, and Alec
Philpott helped his own cause at the plate with two hits and two RBIs, including a double to the gap in left center in the bottom of the fourth.
The Wolverines are back on the diamond Tuesday, March 8, host-ing the defending 2A state cham-pion East Rutherford Cavaliers.
Polk softball chalks up season’s second win at Asheville, 6-1by Daniel Hecht
The Lady Wolverines took their show on the road for the first time this season, heading up I-26 to square off against Asheville High on Thursday, March 3.
Despite the chill of a late winter mountain afternoon, Polk’s bats stayed hot, and Coach Jeff Wilson’s squad handed the Lady Cougars
their first loss of the year in the non-conference contest.
The ladies of Polk drew blood in four different innings, led by Amber Lynch, who went 2 for 3 and scored twice on the afternoon. Cavin Richards, Brittany Jones, Kara Garvin and Jamie Hrobak each contributed a hit to the well-distributed Wolverine offensive
attack, and leadoff hitter Shayln Brown worked Asheville, pitch-ing for two walks and scoring a run as well.
Ace hurler Hrobak notched her second win of the season and earned her 31st career victory for Polk County, giving up no walks and allowing just two hits in anoth-er impressive complete game out-
ing. The 12-strikeout performance brought her season total to 28, as opponents continue to struggle to solve the dominant junior pitcher.
The Lady Wolverines played host to unbeaten Pisgah High on Monday afternoon, March 7. The Lady Bears routed AC Reynolds in their season opener by a score of 11-3.
“I’m taking it one day at a time, but I hope to be back for either Madison or Mountain Heritage.”

Concert to benefit Rotary Club of Tryon scholarships May 1Gorden Threlfall, chairman
of the Rotary Club of Tryon Scholarship Committee, an-nounces that ticket sales for the Community Chorus Spring Concert will benefit the five college scholarships awarded each year. The concert will be given Sunday, May 1 at Polk County High School.
Two of the scholarships, totaling $6,000 ($1,500 per year), are awarded to gradu-ating seniors at Polk County High School who are beginning a four-year college program. Two other scholarships are awarded to Polk County High School seniors beginning a two-year college program. One pays $2,500 ($1,250 per year) and the other pays $1,200 ($600 per year). The Frank Or-tiz Service Above Self Award is for $1,000.
Two of the recent scholar-ship recipients have given an update to let the community know how they are benefiting from the Rotary scholarships they received.
Evan Fitch is the son of Robert and Theresa Fitch and is a student at UNC-Chapel Hill. He received his initial scholar-ship in 2010 from Rotary Club of Tryon. Evan says he is grate-ful for the $1,500 scholarship he received. He is currently ac-tive in extracurricular activities such as playing intramural soc-cer and participating in fund-raisers such as the UNC Dance Marathon, which benefitted UNC Children’s Hospital.
In addition to his studies, Evan has been able to cultivate a love for the arts by attending concerts, art shows, films and plays. He said he looks forward to the day when he can serve
in his own local Rotary Club and give scholarships to other young students.
Evan’s sister, Maggie, re-ceived her initial scholarship in 2008 and she wrote to give information about some of her interests and accomplishments over the last three years.
Since her arrival at UNC, she has benefitted from the Ro-tary Club of Tryon’s David A. Wells Memorial Scholarship. She said, “Coming from our small, tight-knit community in Polk County, I have been pleasantly surprised to find myself wholly immersed in a whirling confluence of cultures and communities, the diversity of which surpasses anything I had previously experienced.”
She has been able to par-ticipate in one of two women’s club soccer teams on campus (the Heels) since her freshman year. She is now co-president of her team. The Heels compete nearly every weekend against teams from North Carolina and surrounding states.
She has also become in-volved in the Newman Catholic Student Center. Through her work at the Newman Center she joined her friends in min-istering to the mentally handi-capped orphans of Jamaica’s Mustard Seed Community (Montego Bay) and the home-less of Washington, D.C.
In the spring of 2010, Mag-gie took the opportunity to study abroad in Costa Rica. She spent five months living and learning with her now-beloved host family and acquiring a more critical perspective of American culture and ideas in her Spanish-taught classes at the Universidad Nacional in
Heredia. After returning from Costa Rica, she began volun-teering on a regular basis with a nearby Spanish-speaking community and has added a Spanish major. This spring she will return to Central America (Honduras) as part of a Habitat for Humanity team that will construct houses in a region where extreme poverty bars ac-cess to decent living conditions for many families.
In part because of the Rotary Club of Tryon, Maggie said she has been afforded the chance to expand her mind, open herself to transformative relationships with God, friends, classmates and mentors and lead others to begin their own self-discovery and self-growth. Maggie con-cluded her update with these words:
“I cannot thank you enough. Que Dios les bendiga. (May
God bless you.)”The spring concert will be
held on May 1. The concert will be provided by up to 80 sing-ers from Polk and Rutherford counties and Upstate South Carolina while helping provide scholarships for area youth.

Perhaps you’ve never heard of the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI), or know why it’s an important organization.
ERBI is a private, nonprofit re-search institute based in Washing-ton, D.C., that focuses on health, savings, retirement and economic security issues.
EBRI does not lobby and does not take policy positions, but it does do research and provides some interesting information.
In January 2011, ERBI re-leased a troubling report regarding Baby Boomers, stating that de-pending on your age and level of income, you could be among the 4-14 percent of Americans, who due to the 2008-2009 recession and the accompanying housing and financial crisis, may not have adequate income to cover basic expenses in retirement.
The reason ERBI states you “may not have adequate income” is because there are a lot of vari-ables.
The most significant among those are the size of your retire-ment savings account balance, and even more important, how close are you to retirement age?
I’m defining retirement age as at least 66, because while you could take a reduced amount of Social Security as early as age 62 – reduced as a penalty for tak-ing it early – or await turning 66, the minimum age you must attain to receive full Social Security benefits.
Simply stated, the closer you are to retiring, the fewer earning

years you have left in which to add to your existing savings.
There are other factors that determine the financial success of your retirement. They include the amount of money you’ve been earning during your peak earning years and your financial health.
Did you set up a 401(k) with your employer, open either a Traditional or Roth IRA, or in-
vest money in equities or cre-ate some other form of a “stash of cash” for the future?
And one of the biggest series of questions has to do with how much you owe in credit card debt, monthly overhead and whether your current budget, assuming you have one, is being met with the income you generate today, or are you already dipping into savings?
The answers to these questions will contribute the resulting an-swer of will I have enough money in retirement.
To recover from the losses sus-tained by many Americans, ERBI came up with a mathematical model to determine the percent-age of additional savings people would have to add to their cur-rent nest eggs to have either a 50 percent, 70 percent or 90 percent probability of having sufficient retirement income to meet basic retirement expenditures and any uninsured health care costs for their full retirement.
I won’t bore you with those numbers, but suffice it to say the required additional savings ranged from saving an extra 3– 4 percent
of your total annual compensation each year until you retire, with the higher percentage needed for those closest to retirement.
That’s bad news for a whole lot of boomers.
Did you know that the average Social Security check is about $1100/month - about $13,000 per year?
The balance of your financial needs must be met through your own personal savings. And that’s another tragic story because only 50 percent of Americans have a 401(k), and the median balance for 401(k) savings in America – that means half are higher and half are lower than the median number of $20,000.
The average 401(k) balance – the total amount of money in all 401(k) plans divided by the number of people with a 401(k) plan – is $60,000. Again, it’s not a lot for your retirement if you live for another 15-30 more years.
The intent of this column isn’t to spread doom and gloom. It’s to serve as a wake-up call, sort of a printed version that a new TV show called “Beyond Scared Straight.”
Take an inventory of your finances, and if necessary seek the assistance of a reputable pro-fessional. It’s up to you to do the best you can to secure that future.

Hands of Change, a group of Polk County School students who work on service projects in the area, recently came to Pearsons Falls to pick up wood for delivery to Ther-mal Belt Outreach Ministry. The Tryon Garden Club, the owners and operators of Pearson’s Falls, donated the wood to Outreach.
This is just one example of the manner in which these students work on service projects within Polk County organizations as well as work with the assisted living centers.
Hands of Change meets Thurs-day afternoons when Polk County schools are in session. Possible service sites include the American Red Cross, FENCE, Harmon Field, White Oak Assisted Living Center, Bridge Wood House, Pacolet Nature Conservancy and others.
Past service projects of Hands of Change include painting, yard work, passing out flyers, trail maintenance and clean up, reading and social activities with residents at assisted living centers.
