Robert Williamson and another volunteer worked to put some of the final touches on the new House of Flags museum Wednesday, Nov. 9 in preparation for the grand opening Friday, Nov. 11 at noon in Columbus.

Nov. 11, 2011 marks the culmination of more than a decade of work initiated by founder George Scofield and VFW Post 9116. Scofield and other dedicated volunteers, who believed in the historical significance flags hold, diligently raised funds and in-kind donations to make the museum possible. “It didn’t happen all at once, but it’s a testament to the community support behind this project,” said House of Flags Chairman Williamson.

Donations include two from an anonymous donor in the amounts of $10,000 last year and $30,000 this year, for a total of $40,000. In August, The Timken Foundation of Canton, Ohio, awarded a significant grant to the mu-seum. Upon completion, the second floor will be named the Timken Room and the Timken

Western Highlands requests space in new DSS buildingby Leah Justice

Medicaid recipients in Polk County could have a new local office to receive services soon.

Western Highlands, Polk County’s mental health entity, has requested an office in the county’s new department of social services (DSS) building, which is scheduled to open soon.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson announced the request to commissioners during the county’s Monday, Nov. 7 meet-ing.

Whitson said since Western Highlands is part of the Med-icaid waiver now, the organi-zation will need a presence in Polk County. Polk’s Medicaid recipients will likely fall under Western Highlands in January, Whitson said.

Western Highlands requested

an office in the new DSS build-ing, located on Wolverine Trail, for two days per week. Whitson said if Western Highlands hires two employees, the organization could be in Polk County four days per week.

Whitson recommended that Western Highlands use one office at no charge. Some com-missioners questioned whether the county should charge rent for the space. Whitson responded that Transylvania County allows Western Highlands to use space at no charge.

“I want them here,” Whitson said. “Western Highlands will work with some of our (Med-icaid) enrollees and make sure they are getting proper services.”

Commissioners decided to


A11

receive a recommendation from the county’s mental health board prior to making a decision on whether to allow Western High-lands to use an office.

Western Highlands, a local management entity (LME) that serves eight counties, including

Polk, agreed earlier this year to join the Medicaid waiver program for mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse programs. The change, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2012, will mean that West-ern Highlands will administer Medicaid services, which are currently handled by the state.

The state decided last year to

• Western Highlands(Continued from page 10)

phase Medicaid services back to LMEs like Western Highlands, and all eight county commis-sions in Western Highlands agreed to join the program.

Western Highlands agreed this year to hire and train 54 employees to administer Med-icaid services. The organization expects to receive approximately $93 million more in funding to

provide the service.In addition to Polk County,

Western Highlands serves Bun-combe, Henderson, Madison, Mitchell, Rutherford, Tran-sylvania and Yancey counties. Polk County joined Western Highlands in 2002 after the state reformed mental health and mandated that counties form LMEs.

said drummer Paul Riddle (a founding member of The Mar-shall Tucker Band). “We liked the idea, the whole vibe of what the Polk Wellness Center is about. Plus, we really wanted to play near home when we debuted and this just fell right into our lap.”

Watson’s Riddle, comprised o f R i d d l e , S t e v e Wa t -son (who has performed on r e c o r d s b y B.B. King and Dolly Parton), pianist Chuck Leavell and bass is t Tim L a w t e r o f The Marshall Tucker Band, will play an hour-and-a-half-long set of in-strumental “jazz fusion.”

The band’s first album goes many different places, Riddle said, mixing pop, rock, country, jazz and more from all the influ-ences each musician has picked up through the years.

“Refreshing and real” is what Riddle calls this music.

And it all started with a guitar lesson.

The idea for the band was conceived when cardiotho-racic surgeon Douglas Appleby, M.D., encouraged his friend and guitar instructor Steve Watson to write music that was “emo-tionally engaging, relaxing and transforming to the human soul.”

Watson wrote some of the album’s material and took the project to Riddle.

“Since we’re doing it on our own time, we can make it like we want it,” Riddle said. “It’s very groove oriented, very me-lodic, very song oriented. The music that has moved me all my life has been very melodically

driven – melodies have to move me first.”

While Watson’s Riddle may not have a desire to jump on a tour bus for months on end, the guys do plan to do a bit of tour-ing here and there and maybe hit up the West Coast this summer.

“You give yourself the op-portunity for greatness, I think – anytime you’ve got great players who are ready to put

aside egos and try new things,” Riddle sa id . “Then you start tripping over greatness be-cause the ideas s t a r t r e a l l y flowing – then you start getting the magic.”

J i m N a g i said he believes a similar type of magic is hap-

pening inside the walls of the Polk Wellness Center.

The center formed in 2008 as a local solution to the lack of affordable medical and mental healthcare. After convening community leaders and clini-cians to study the problem, Polk Wellness Center opened its doors to treat patients with insurance and without.

Now the artistic magic of Watson’s Riddle can come to the aid of the medical magic needed in this area by raising funds for the Polk Wellness Center.

Riddle said he is excited, too, that they can do so in such a unique venue.

“There are more and more halls like the Tryon Fine Arts Center around that people enjoy going to see a show in more so than your big amphitheaters,” Riddle said. “They enjoy going to places like the arts center to hear all genres of music in an intimate setting. How great is that?”

For more information on tickets, call the Tryon Fine Arts Center at 828-859-8322.

Silent auction planned for ‘local’ Christmas ornaments Buy, Sell, Trade…?

Let TDB Classifieds Work for You!Call us at 828-859-9151 or email

[email protected]

Tryon Downtown Devel-opment Association (TDDA) plans to hold a silent auction for “locally designed” Christ-mas ornaments beginning the night of the Tryon Christmas Stroll on Friday, Dec. 2.

Tryon area artists are in-vited to design and construct original, one-of-a-kind Christ-mas ornaments, and donate them to TDDA to help raise funds for TDDA’s downtown redevelopment activities.

Ornament size will be at the discretion of the artist, but should be a typical ornament size and weight, and should be designed to be held on a wire ornament hangar. Artists should include their name, a title for the ornament and de-scriptive information that may be of interest to the bidder.

Ornaments should be de-livered to Skyuka Fine Art (Tuesday-Saturday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m.) at 133 N Trade Street in downtown Tryon, no later than Wednesday, Nov. 30.

Prizes (gift certificates do-nated from local merchants) will be awarded to the top three entries.

The ornaments will be displayed on a “rotating” Christmas tree located within Skyuka Fine Art beginning on the evening of the stroll and will remain on display until Friday, Dec. 16, where a wine and cheese reception will be held from 6 - 8 p.m. to announce the highest bids. Bidding will close at 7 p.m. Winning bidders not pres-ent at the reception will be notified and ornaments may be picked up upon receipt of payment.

TDDA invites all residents to attend the annual Christmas Stroll and bid on a chance to obtain a unique ornament to

add to their collection. For more information con-

tact: Kim Nelson, Skyuka Fine Art at 828-817-3783 or [email protected].

We do not know why the world is the way it is. No-body does. We can describe it, categorize it and count its blessings and its hor-rors. But because we love, because we care, because we can work with one an-other, we bring a little more wholeness and a little more holiness into the world. One by one and two by two and four by four… we matter.

The Jewish philosopher/theologian Martin Buber said it well: Everyone is entrusted and allotted an area to redeem in the world in which you live, just as it is and not otherwise, on our daily rounds right here in our own neighborhoods.

A year ago my 96-year-old mother had a stroke,

rallied a little, and after several months, died. We had many conversations in her last months as she contemplated the meaning of her living and her dying. Sometimes she would ask what her life had been good for. She wasn’t at all certain she had accomplished any-thing very much. She had been primarily a wife and mother, she said. What did I leave behind, she asked?

Love, I said. Healthy, happy, good citizens. Three children, seven grandchil-dren, and all of them strong, good people. You brought more wholeness and holi-ness into the world. You increased its store of good-ness.

I am so proud of all of you,

she said. So proud. And I responded, I am so proud that you were my mother. You matter to me.

In fact, she mattered to al-most everyone whose lives she touched. She listened. She affirmed. She gave love as easily as breathing. The staff where she lived said she made a big difference in their lives, because she listened to their ups and downs, and concerns. She told one of them that she believed in the worth and dignity of every person.

I think going to the Uni-tarian Universalist church must have rubbed off on her because “affirming the worth and dignity of every person” is our very first principle. She came late to the UU church (for 94 years she had been a Methodist

or a Presbyterian)… yet she had always lived that principle.

One of the main founders of American Unitarianism (in the early 1800s) was William Ellery Channing. He was protesting the con-servative Protestants of his day, especially the New England Puritans. They pro-claimed that human beings are depraved sinners in the hands of an angry God, and the purpose of human life was to endure suffering so that you could go to heaven.

Not so, said Channing: a human being is a noble being. A person has a soul which is God’s seed with sacred potential. That po-tential can be developed and expressed. The soul can grow. The point of life is to grow our souls -- and

we can do it best by coming together to help one another.

In fact, that is what churches are for. The church, he said, is not primarily a place of salvation, but a place of cultivation where we can grow our souls to extend goodness outwards. Where we can help and hold and heal, and cheer each other on and discern our personal missions to help heal the broken world.

That is what we are about in our Unitarian Universal-ist congregations. Join us at the Tryon Youth Center on second and fourth Sundays at 10:30. Or visit our web-site at www.uutryonnc.org.

We do not know why the world is the way it is. No-body does. We can describe it, categorize it and count its blessings and its hor-rors. But because we love, because we care, because we can work with one an-other, we bring a little more wholeness and a little more holiness into the world. One by one and two by two and four by four… we matter.

The Jewish philosopher/theologian Martin Buber said it well: Everyone is entrusted and allotted an area to redeem in the world in which you live, just as it is and not otherwise, on our daily rounds right here in our own neighborhoods.

A year ago my 96-year-old mother had a stroke,

rallied a little, and after several months, died. We had many conversations in her last months as she contemplated the meaning of her living and her dying. Sometimes she would ask what her life had been good for. She wasn’t at all certain she had accomplished any-thing very much. She had been primarily a wife and mother, she said. What did I leave behind, she asked?

Love, I said. Healthy, happy, good citizens. Three children, seven grandchil-dren, and all of them strong, good people. You brought more wholeness and holi-ness into the world. You increased its store of good-ness.

I am so proud of all of you,

she said. So proud. And I responded, I am so proud that you were my mother. You matter to me.

In fact, she mattered to al-most everyone whose lives she touched. She listened. She affirmed. She gave love as easily as breathing. The staff where she lived said she made a big difference in their lives, because she listened to their ups and downs, and concerns. She told one of them that she believed in the worth and dignity of every person.

I think going to the Uni-tarian Universalist church must have rubbed off on her because “affirming the worth and dignity of every person” is our very first principle. She came late to the UU church (for 94 years she had been a Methodist

or a Presbyterian)… yet she had always lived that principle.

One of the main founders of American Unitarianism (in the early 1800s) was William Ellery Channing. He was protesting the con-servative Protestants of his day, especially the New England Puritans. They pro-claimed that human beings are depraved sinners in the hands of an angry God, and the purpose of human life was to endure suffering so that you could go to heaven.

Not so, said Channing: a human being is a noble being. A person has a soul which is God’s seed with sacred potential. That po-tential can be developed and expressed. The soul can grow. The point of life is to grow our souls -- and

we can do it best by coming together to help one another.

In fact, that is what churches are for. The church, he said, is not primarily a place of salvation, but a place of cultivation where we can grow our souls to extend goodness outwards. Where we can help and hold and heal, and cheer each other on and discern our personal missions to help heal the broken world.

That is what we are about in our Unitarian Universal-ist congregations. Join us at the Tryon Youth Center on second and fourth Sundays at 10:30. Or visit our web-site at www.uutryonnc.org.

N.C. senator Apodaca to discuss WNC economy Nov. 14

State Senator Tom Apodaca, who represents District 48, which includes Polk, Buncombe and Henderson counties, will be one of the panelists at the 2011 Ad-vantageWest Economic Summit.

The summit will take place Monday, Nov. 14 at Diana Wortham Theatre in downtown Asheville, N.C. The event starts with a networking reception at 5:30 p.m., followed by the panel discussion of the WNC economy. There is a registration fee.

An entrepreneur from Hender-son County, Apodaca is serving his fifth term in the N.C. Senate. First elected in 2002, he currently serves as chair of the N.C. Senate Rules Committee.

In addition to chairing the Sen-ate Rules Committee, Apodaca co-chairs the Committee on Insur-ance, the Committee on Pensions

& Retirement and Aging and the Appropriations Subcommittee on Education & Higher Education.

He has been the recipient of several awards for his legislative work and is ranked as one of the most pro-business members of the General Assembly.

Apodaca has started businesses employing dozens of people over the past three decades. The Apo-daca family is active in a number of local charities, with the Hen-dersonville Boys and Girls Club being a particular favorite. He, his wife and two sons are all gradu-ates of Western Carolina Univer-sity, where Apodaca served as a member of the board of trustees.

Peterson to speak on foraging for wild foodsOn Wednesday, Nov. 15 at 1

p.m. the community is invited to join the Tryon Garden Club at the Tryon Depot. Lee Allen Peterson, author of “A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants,” will discuss foraging for wild foods.

Peterson is a graduate of Johns Hopkins University in the natural sciences and he is intimately acquainted with the field guide approach created by his father, Roger Tory Peterson.

Peterson has traveled widely in the United States and Canada and is well versed in the study and practice of gastronomic botany. He has lectured on ed-ible wild plants and conducted wild food forays throughout

the United States. Much of his early field work was done in the Smokey Mountains region of North Carolina and Georgia.

In addition to writing about

Lee Al len Peterson. (photo submitted by Lee Allen Peterson)

and illustrating natural history subjects, Peterson and his wife, Courtney, live on a sheep farm in southeastern Pennsylvania, where they design and create jewelry with a natural history motif.

This meeting is open to the

public. The Tryon Garden Club

is a non-profit organization. For membership information contact Delia Tittle at 828-859-8372.

Humane Society Special Cases

It all began at Tryon Federal Bank, where I was making a small deposit into the fund for “Lennie’s Kids.”

As I completed the deposit, I was approached by my cousin Teddy, who is a huge animal lover and supporter of my cause. Teddy brought in Queenie, the king snake and was highly in-strumental in the case of Ranger the dog who was struck by a car.

“Lennie, don’t go anywhere, I just received some back pay from my pension fund in Florida and I want to give you the first check for your kids.”

“Teddy are you sure you can afford this? You do enough for my kids.”

“I wouldn’t if I couldn’t. This is especially for what you did for Ranger.”

I glanced at the check for the

Coincidence? You make the callfirst time, it was for $1,000.

“God bless you Cuz” (what I normally call him) I answered him, giving him a hug and fighting hard to hold back my tears.

The tellers at Tryon Federal were also having trouble hold-

ing back their emotions as they listened to our conversation.

I s l i d t h e check over to the

teller and said, “God is good, isn’t He?” She just nodded, seemingly feeling that if she spoke she would lose it.

When I arrived home there was a message from Landrum vet about a cat that was backed over by a car and damaged his right leg and hip. I called and asked the particulars and was told the lady who brought him in would keep him but couldn’t afford the operation.

“How old is he and can you save the leg?” I asked.

TeDDy (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

“He’s a sweet orange tabby that’s about a year old and he won’t stop purring even though he’s injured.”

“Okay,” I laughed, “I’m sold but can you save the leg?”

“Dr. Maiolo says he can, he’s done this before with great suc-cess, he’ll have a pin and a splint for awhile till he heals.”

“Will it cost less than a thou-sand dollars? I said, laughing again, thinking of my cousin Teddy.

“Dr. Maiolo says $850 and as low as $650 if there aren’t any complications.”

“Okay sweetheart, I’ll be in tomorrow after work to meet him and bring a check for his care.”

The next day I went to Landrum vet to meet the new kid on the block. The staff weren’t kidding, the sweet boy was a purr machine. I never ceased to be moved when an injured animal keeps all the love in its’ heart through all the pain.

Up front as I was making out the check for the cat’s care, the staff piped up again, “God bless you Lennie, you’re the best.”

“Cut that out,” I replied, (sternly but mockingly) “that boy is exactly what my funds are for.”

As I was set to leave I turned back and asked, “By the way, what’s his name?”

“Oh,” they answered, “we’ve named him Teddy.”

Thanks for listening.

Now she is very ill, has had two surgeries at Duke Hospital and is facing more surgery. Her medical bills have skyrocketed beyond

When 71-year-old Richard Myers arrived in North Carolina from his home in Illinois to live with his brother Dewey and sister-in-law, Karen, he’d given up on living his life. In fact, he came to the south to die, to spend his remaining days on the pastoral mountain where he and his brother had camped years before, a peaceful place where the memories were good and the connections meaningful.

Myers was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2000 and af-ter surgery to remove his left kidney, his doctor in Illinois assured him he was cancer-free. Eight years later a broken leg led to the discovery that the cancer was back and had me-tastasized to his bones.

“In Olney, my doctors told me over and over this was going to kill me. You hear that often enough you start believing it. You stop living,” Myers said as he sat at the kitchen table in Dewey and Karen’s house, looking alert and sounding strong for a man who a few months earlier thought he’d never see his Illinois home again.

Pointing to Dewey and Kar-en, he said, “These two people here carried me when I thought I couldn’t walk.”

Myers had been living with his older brother, Kenny, in Olney, but when Kenny could no longer care for him, Richard turned to Dewey. As the two youngest of seven children, Richard and Dewey had always shared a special bond.

“We wanted to give him an opportunity to return to an area that he loves and hopefully we could provide some quality care with the combination of Hospice. He’s thrived. He really has,” Dewey said.

Caregiving in the Dewey household depends on team-work. Dewey, who is home all day, prepares most of Richard’s meals.

“This has been good for me, very good for me,” Dewey says,

“The Hospice House and Rich-ard’s hospice team have helped me, and Karen has guided and pushed me.”

With his medication adjusted and taken at three intervals throughout the day, pallia-tive care and better nutrition, Richard continues to improve physically. Feeling better has changed his outlook.

“He’s got hope now,” Dewey says.

The last time Richard was at the Hospice House, his doctor told him there was no reason he couldn’t return home to Illinois.

“Boy, you talk about a new lease on life,” Richard says, “I mean that picked me up out of

“Hope” is one of Hospice’s best medications

the ashes.”Waiting for him back in Illi-

nois is his house, his automotive upholstery workshop, the busi-ness he’s been in for more than 40 years, and most important of all, his beloved motorcycle.

“I looked for years for the perfect motorcycle so I could retire and ride. I finally found this one. That’s hard for me to do without because it meant so much to me. That’s my love in life that motorcycle,” Richard says.

Eighty-year-old retired or-thopedic surgeon and HoCF volunteer Bob Field shares Richard’s enthusiasm for riding and often brings motorcycle

magazines on his weekly visits. “I am truly inspired by my

time spent with Richard. He has an aura of such calm resolve,” Field said.

Field was introduced to Hos-pice three years ago when his wife needed care and now gives his time providing companion-ship, conversation and friend-ship to patients in their homes.

“[Richard] is a wonderful person of many talents and great courage and optimism,” Field said.

Myers holds a picture of himself on his motorcycle, which he got to ride for only one year before his second battle with cancer began. The look in his eyes says he will ride again.

“I love me a turkey butt samwich”

“I’m Just Saying…”

by Pam Stone

This is rather a heady time for me.

After being asked by various readers, my bank teller and my mother’s dentist that I should “put all those columns in a book,” I am doing just that.

Publishing through Kindle seemed , na -ively I thought, straight forward enough until I got to the sec-ond page of i n s t r u c t i o n s informing pro-spective writers what was required regarding formatting, font size and page breaks.

May as well have been He-brew.

“Umm,” I began to Paul, thor-oughly relaxed in his sweats, lounging upon the sofa and grab-bing football highlights from ESPN. “Do you know what for-matting means?”

“Does this have to do with the book you’re putting together?” he said, not taking his eyes from the screen as he raised his 5 p.m. martini to his lips.

“Yes,” I replied. “The one you insisted you

could do on your own?”“Yes.”“The one that now you need

help with just as I am about to relax and unwind from the day?”

“Yes.”He was now clearly enjoying

himself.“So you need help from the

man that you complain always has his face in front of a computer screen and is addicted to all things technological? Complaining, that is, until you realize you can’t do it yourself and need his help?”

“I’m quite sure that’s the man, yes.” I replied. “Although I heard he may have been recently injured by someone hitting him in the side of his head with an ax.”

Sighing, Paul rose and disap-peared into the office for a good hour or so, formatting columns and arranging the artwork.

“This is just the master,” he warned as I came in to peer over his shoulder. “There’s going to be a lot of cutting and pasting; you

can do that, as well as inserting the photos and page breaks. But you need a title. What’s it called?”

“ We l l , ” I mused, rubbing my chin as men with goatees are wont to do. “If I were Dave Barry-”

“Which you’re not.”“Which I’m not. Well, Lewis

Grizzard used to...”“You’re not him either.”Frustrated, I retorted, “I know

I’m not them. But I don’t want it to be pretentious. I’m just trying to figure out what sort of titles other columnists have used.”

Paul took a long pull on his Bombay Sapphire and, raising his eyebrows suddenly, chirped, “I know - as it’s a book of your favorite columns, choose the title of the funniest one you wrote and make it the book’s title.”

“Even if it makes no sense?” I frowned, watching him insert a photo of the terriers’ derriers on the mock-up cover.

“Sure! Most titles are simply a phrase in a book, anyway, like, “To Kill A Mockingbird” or “Gone With The Wind.”

“You’ve got a point.” I agreed.So, folks, you’ll just have to

look for it on amazon.com. I’m reckoning on the cover you’ll see me, the dogs, probably a donkey or two, along with the title:

“I Love Me A Turkey Butt Samwich.”

I’m thinking you probably won’t be seeing it on the New York Times Bestseller List.

The Landrum defense gets after Calhoun County quarterback Terrence Whitmore last week in the first round of the 1A state playoffs. Landrum will travel to Abbeville to play in the second round on Friday night at 7:30 p.m. (photo by Joey Millwood)

Landrum Head Coach Russell Mahaffey was walking around the practice field with a smile on his face. The likeable coach was coaching up his defense as they ran drills against Tucker Hamrick’s offense. Mahaffey and the Cardi-nals felt a little better this week at practice.

Landrum dismantled Calhoun County in what some would call an upset. Anyone that has watched the Cardinals this season, however, wouldn’t look at it that way.

With the exception of the Christ Church game, Landrum has looked like a team on a mission. That mis-sion is to reach the 1A state cham-pionship game. After dominating the Saints last week, the Cardinals shifted their focus to Abbeville.

At practice on Tuesday night, there was no fear in any of the Landrum players’ eyes. There was a quiet focus among the players and coaches.

The Cardinals will be on the road against the No. 1 1A team

in the state, but there was a quiet swagger in this practice.

The roadblock that stands in the Cardinals’ way this Friday night

is the defending state champion. Abbeville is led by tailback Ash-ton Heard and quarterback Kelly Bryant.

Friday will be a tough contest for the Cardinals.

The second round playoff game kicks off at 7:30 p.m.

Cardinals go head-to-head with defending state champs

Polk to host Maiden Friday in District Round of NC 2A state playoffsby Daniel Hecht

Tomorrow is 11-11-11 – a date that occurs just once every 100 years and sparks the imagination of many. As our nation honors its veterans, courthouse clerks across the country rush to fulfill marriage license requests, while hotels from Atlantic City to Las Vegas brace for an influx of superstitious gamblers looking to cash in on the lucky digits.

But for the 16 teams that were

fortunate enough to survive the first round of North Carolina’s 2A state playoffs last week, tomorrow night is about just one thing – winning and advancing to the next round. And at the Little Big House, home of Wolverine Nation and one of only eight stadiums that will host 2A District Round contests Friday, the increase in the level of energy and intensity is conspicuous.

“Our team is very excited about being home for the second round

of the playoffs and trust our home field advantage will be a factor in the game,” said Polk head coach Bruce Ollis. “We have told our players all week – the win-ner moves on and the loser goes home.”

The Wolverines will square off against Maiden High School, a team that Polk County defeated in the first round of last year’s champi-onships. Although the Blue Devils tend to line up in shotgun formation

95 percent of the time, the team rarely puts the ball in the air.

“They get in the shotgun to run the ball, not to throw,” said Ollis, adding that Maiden’s offense is ground based by 5 to 1.

Leading the offense for Maiden will be senior quarterback Matt Johnson, a very physical runner as well as a talented passer.

“He is primarily used like a full-

back in the I, as he is a very good ‘inside the tackles’ runner with very good speed,” commented Ollis.

Will Jenkins, an exception-ally quick tailback with breakaway speed, will join Johnson in the backfield. On the defensive side of the ball, the Blue Devils will be led by middle linebacker Dillon Painter, a 6’2” 220-pound junior.

Asked what Polk will need to do to come out on top and move on to the Sectional Round, Ollis replied that it is all about focus.

“Defensively, we must focus on stopping the running game and the play action pass that goes along with it,” said Ollis.

“On offense, we have to take better advantage of our scoring opportunities and eliminate turn-overs.” To be sure, Polk’s own lucky no. 11, Cary Littlejohn, the team’s leading rusher with 1,450 yards and 27 touchdowns, will look

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Vitamins and minerals needed for healthy livingIn last week’s column, I shared

why I believe supplementation to your diet is necessary.

I also provided a list of nu-tr ients I recommend, and their proper daily allowances. Today, I’d like to continue the list. Again, one of the biggest reasons to supplement your diet is the en-couragement of a longer life span and reduction of chronic disease.

In fact, the Pracon Study, commissioned by the Council for Responsible Nutrition, estimated that $ 8.7 bil-lion could be saved each year, on four major diseases, if Americans consumed optimal levels of just the antioxidants vitamins C, E and beta-carotene.

To continue the list:Pantothenic acid: This nutrient

is involved in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. It’s needed for the production of Sphingosine and Acetylcholine, two very important substances involved in nerve transmission. Pantothenic acid helps keep a strong immune system, and helps lower blood cholesterol levels, thereby helping prevent cardio-vascular disease. It’s also used in the treatment of emotional and physical stress. Daily allowance: 100-500 mg daily.

Biotin: Actually, biotin isn’t a vitamin, but a coenzyme. It’s, also involved in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrate and proteins. Defi-ciencies of this nutrient include nausea, high blood cholesterol, hair loss, depression, numbness and loss of appetite. Daily allowance:

100-300 mcg. Vitamin C: This one of my

favorites. Vitamin C is essential for healthy blood vessels. Remember you can only get good from your diet, exercise, supplements and medications to the exact degree of your blood vessel health. That’s because it all goes through and is affected by the blood stream. This also means that vitamin C helps

prevent high blood pressure and atheroscle-rosis. It’s need-ed by the adre-

nal gland to synthesize hormones to help during times of physical, and emotional stress.

Some research indicates vita-min C may be an effective form of cancer treatment. Daily allow-ance: 1500-3000 mg. (make sure the dosage is broken up into thirds, throughout the day to keep vitamin C blood levels high. Don’t take vitamin C, and Calcium within an hour of each other. Vitamin C is acidic and Calcium is a base. If taken together they’ll cancel each other out).

Now, let’s go strait into miner-als, and Calcium: About 99 per-cent of all the calcium in our bodies is stored in our bones. That means the average person is storing about 3 pounds of it. The remaining one percent is distributed throughout the rest of our body. Actually, ev-ery cell in our body contains some calcium.

Our bones do provide struc-ture to our bodies, but they also, serve as a sort of calcium “bank.” Through certain processes, our bodies “withdraw” some of this

calcium every day, so we obvi-ously have to put it back. There is also evidence that calcium helps prevent colon cancer. Ingesting calcium and absorbing it are two different things. Many factors like diet, medications, and even exercise can influence calcium absorption. Vitamin D along with Phosphorus is needed to absorb calcium. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus should be one to one.

This can create a problem, because if you consume too many phosphorus rich foods like soft drinks your calcium/phosphorus balance can be off, thereby not only preventing calcium absorption, but also actually causing calcium to be leached from your bones.

Daily allowance: 1200-1500 mg. (The two most common forms of calcium you’ll probably come across are calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. Both are well ab-sorbed, but should be taken differ-ently. Calcium carbonate should be taken with food and calcium citrate should be taken on an empty stom-ach for proper absorption. Coral calcium is calcium carbonate.)

Next week, we’ll continue the list.

David Crocker of Landrum has been a nutritionist for 24 years. He served as strength director of the Spartanburg Y.M.C.A., head strength coach for the S.C. state champion girls gymnastic team, USC-Spartanburg baseball team, Converse college equestrian team, lead trainer to L.H. Fields model-ing agency, and taught four semes-ters at USC-Union. David was also a regular guest of the Pam Stone radio show.

The Foothills Association of Master Gardeners will sponsor a special program entitled “Fact and Folklore in the Garden” to be presented by Linda Alford on Monday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. at Isothermal Community College in Columbus.

Sometimes Grandma was right, but sometimes she was

wrong.Some garden commonplace

practices are contradicted by scientific research, some are supported and for some, the evidence is not yet clear.

Myth or misconception? Which common rules can you safely break? The answers may surprise you as Alford, a Master

Gardener and frequent speaker at garden symposiums, explores 20 common practices from tree staking to organic gardening.

The program is open to the public. A brief business meeting of the Foothills Association of Master Gardeners will follow.

The well-known South Caro-lina journalist and author Ken Burger will speak at the Lanier Library on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at noon. The program is free and everyone is welcome.

For more than 40 years Ken Burger reported on sports, busi-ness and life in the Palmetto state. As a sports writer for the Charleston Post and Courier he received numerous awards and was three times named one of the nation’s best sports writers. He was also named South Carolina Journalist of the Year in 1996.

He continued writing his very popular “Metro” column until his retirement from journalism earlier this year.

While still a newspaper man, he began a new career as a fic-tion writer and published his first novel, “Swallow Savannah” in 2008.

His second novel, “Sister Santee,” was published in 2010, and both were named among the best Southern fiction by the Independent Publishers As-sociation.

By popular demand, he also

published a collection of his sports columns under the title “Life Through the Earholes of Our Youth,” which has now become a collector's item.

The program is part of the La-nier Library’s Brown Bag Lunch series, which is held on the third Tuesday of the month. Audienc-es are encouraged to bring a bag lunch, if they wish to do so. The program is free to both members and non-members of the library and coffee is provided.

The grand opening of the House of Flags new location at 33 Gibson Street in Columbus on Veterans Day couldn’t be more appropriately timed.

Each flag has a history and sto-ry to tell. According to their web-site, “The Flags tell the story of a group’s struggle for identity and freedom. In the House of Flags, if we listen closely enough, we can hear the stories of these flags ringing loud and clear.” Having been to the House of Flags at the previous location and having the opportunity to take a tour I can as-sure you that statement rings true.

Joe Epley shared the story of the Special Forces Regimental flag, which was recently donated

by Chapter VI of the Special Forces Association and I’d like to share it with you.

The flag includes representa-tions of the Special Forces heri-tage, including the cross arrows first worn by the U.S. Army’s In-dian scouts in the late 1800s and the dagger designed espe-cially for the joint American-Canadian 1st Spe-cial Service Force during World II, all on a field of Jungle Green, the official color of the U.S. Army Special Forces. The motto of the Special Forces – De Opresso Libre (To liberate the oppressed)

Don McInnis of Weddington, N.C. and Joe Epley of Polk County presented the Special Forces Regimental flag to the House of Flags on behalf of the Charlotte-based group of Special Forces veterans. Shown (from left to right) Joyce Preston, secretary; McInnis; Epley; Robert Williamson, House of Flags chairman; Elisabeth Burrell and Paul Southerland, House of Flags treasurer.

Publisher’s Notebookby Betty Ramsey

-- is displayed on the banner held by the American eagle.

The first Special Forces unit in the Army was formed June 11, 1952 when the 10th Spe-cial Forces Group was activated

at Fort Bragg, N.C. During the 1960s there was a major expan-sion of Special Forces with 18 groups in the

Regular Army, Army Reserve and Army National Guard. Headquar-tered at Fort Bragg, Special Forces units are located throughout the world in strategic locations. The regiment currently consists of five Regular Army Special Forces

Groups and two Groups in the National Guard.

Members of these elite groups of warriors are commonly called “Green Berets” because of the distinctive headwear worn only by qualified Special Forces sol-diers serving in units of the First Special Forces.

The story of the Special Forces Regimental Flag is just one of the many that you will hear at the House of Flags. This Friday at noon, thanks to the hard work of too many to be named here, we have the unique opportunity to learn first hand about the history, and meaning of our flags. What a great way to share in our country’s history and honor our Veterans.

Special Forces Regimental flag, one of many at House of Flags

Dear Savvy Senior, Does Medicare cover eye

care? I had excellent vision in-surance through my employer for many years but lost it when I retired, and now am confused as to what Medicare actually covers. What can you tell me?

Living on a Budget

Dear Living,Many retirees are confused

with what Medicare will and won’t cover when it comes to eye care. Here’s a breakdown of how Medicare handles different types of vision care services, along with some additional tips that can help you get affordable care when needed.

Medicare coverage If you have original Medicare

(Part A and B), it’s important to know that “routine” vision care like eye exams, eye refractions, eyeglasses or contact lenses are generally not covered. But, “medically necessary” eye care usually is covered:

Eye surgeries: Any surgical procedure that helps repair the function of the eye like cataract removal, cornea transplant, glau-coma surgery, etc.

Eyeglasses or contacts: Only if you’ve had cataract surgery.

Medical eye exams: Only if you’re having vision problems that indicate a serious eye condi-tion like macular degeneration, retinopathy, glaucoma or dry eye syndrome.

Glaucoma screenings: Annual screenings for those at high risk (have diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, are African-Amer-ican or Hispanic).

Diabetic eye exams: If you

have diabetes, yearly exams for diabetic retinopathy.

Macular degeneration: Cer-tain treatments are covered.

You also need to be aware that of the eye care services that are covered by Medicare, you’re still responsible for 20 percent of the cost – Medicare pays the other 80 percent. To help with this out-of-pocket expense, some Medigap supplemental policies provide gap coverage. Or, if you have Medicare Advantage, some plans provide eye care benefits. Be sure you check with your plan administrator.

Ways to saveIf you find your eye care needs

aren’t covered, or you can’t af-ford the 20 percent out-of-pocket that Medicare doesn’t cover, there are other ways to save.

For starters, if you need a refractive eye exam or a new pair of eyeglasses, many optom-etrists and eyeglass dealers offer discounts – usually between 10 and 30 percent – to seniors who request it. Memberships in groups like AAA and AARP can also provide lower rates.

Another way to get low-cost eye care is at an optometry school. Many offer affordable care provided by students that are overseen by their professors. See opted.org for a directory of schools and their contact infor-mation.

Assistance programsDepending on where you live,

there may also be some local clinics or charitable organizations

Eye care coverage and services for retireesSavvy Senior that provide free or discounted

eye care or eyeglasses. Put in a call to your local Lions Club to see what’s available in your area. To reach your local club, visit lionsclubs.org or call 800-747-4448 to get the number to your state Lions Club office, which can refer you to your community representative.

Or, if you need medical eye care, check into EyeCare Ameri-ca. This is a national program that provides comprehensive medical eye examinations to seniors age 65 and older, and up to one year of treatment at no cost. They ac-cept Medicare or other insurance as full payment. And if you don’t have insurance, care is free. To learn more or to find out if you qualify, visit eyecareamerica.org.

If you’re under age 65, some other services that can help include Mission Cataract USA (missioncataractusa.org), which provides free cataract surgery to low-income people who don’t have insurance. Vision USA (aoa.org/visionusa.xml, 800-766-4466), which provides free vision care to uninsured and low-income workers and their fami-lies. And the Knights Templar Eye Foundation (214-888-0220, knightstemplar.org/ktef), which provides financial assistance for eye surgeries to low-income people who don’t have private insurance.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

The Friends of the Polk County Public Library (PCPL) will host a program at the library in Columbus Nov. 17. The fea-tured speaker will be writer Jeri Fitzgerald Board who will pres-ent “Night Witches: The Amaz-ing Story of the Women Fighter Pilots of the Soviet Air Force.”

While the story of these flyers is virtually unknown, Board dis-covered significant information about them when researching her new book “Eve’s Victory: A Novel of Women at War,” which is set in Europe and Russia dur-ing World War II. One of Board’s main characters is an 18 year-old Russian woman, Ireni Igorsky, who joins the Soviet Air Force in 1942 and becomes a pilot in the 588th night bomber regiment.

The women flyers were oppo-nents against the Luftwaffe and the Germans called them “night witches.”

Board will discuss the day-to-day experiences of these women who were pilots, gunners and navigators on the eastern front, who helped defeat the Germans in the Battle of Stalingrad and who played a vital role in the Allied victory in Europe in the spring of 1945. Board will also read several scenes from “Eve’s Victory.”

Readers will recognize Board as author of the critically ac-claimed historical novel “The Bed She Was Born In,” which was published in 2006.

The event will be held on Thursday, Nov. 17 at noon in the

community room of the PCPL on Hwy 108. Light refreshments will be served. Admission is free.
