Rippy Road mobile home vanishingby Leah Justice

A mobile home on Rippy Road in Tryon that nearby resi-dents have called an eyesore for years is almost gone.

Demolition of the structures on the property began last week and all that was left yesterday was the slab where the mobile home once sat.

Rod’s Handyman Service of Tryon began demolishing the

structures last week.Town officials have worked

on code enforcement regarding the mobile home for the past couple of years. Tryon Town Council in October approved a resolution and ordinance to demolish the structure because it did not meet housing code.

The mobile home, located at 101 Rippy Road, was di-lapidated with no windows in

places and the siding had been removed. The structure even showed insulation from the outside.

planner Melanie Sand. The town has made unsuc-

cessful attempts to contact the property owners, with letters being returned to the town, ac-cording to Davis.

Nearby property owners have urged the town for the past couple of years to enforce its codes with regard to the

structure as well as two other dilapidated structures on the property.

The town has demolished a few houses recently, with some being burned for training. The Rippy Road structures were not suitable for burning, Davis told council in October.

A couple of years ago, Tryon adding funding for demolition of dilapidated structures to its budget.

The area's less fortunate residents will have access to a little extra help this holiday season.

The Polk County Communi-ty Foundation recently awarded $3,000 seasonal assistance grants to the Polk County Sher-iff’s Office and the Tryon Fire Department.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office will use the grant to sup-plement the Polk County Sheriff’s Of-fice Fund for t h e N e e d y, wh ich p ro -vides assis-tance through food vouchers and fuel oil vouchers for those in need.

“With the winter we had last year, we really feel like a major portion of our funds will end up going toward ensuring citizens have heat. We have already had re-quests for assistance and dona-tions are down again this year,” said Sheriff Donald Hill.

This is the second year the PCCF has awarded the grant to the Polk County Sheriff's Office. The sheriff ’s office handles numerous requests dur-ing this time of year, offering both family assistance and the annual Polk County Toy Run. The sheriff’s fund for the needy is funded solely through dona-tions and is designed to serve citizens throughout the county. Sheriff Hill said donations to both funds are still needed.

“Obviously the more money we have, the more people we will be able to help. We are grateful for the assistance the Polk County Community Foun-dation has given us this year,"

Hill said. "Their donation will help us give assistance to as many people as we can. The tough economic times and harsh conditions we had last year really drained our funds. The blanket/coat drive was in large part to help with keeping citizens warm when our fund was nearly depleted.”

A large portion of those with needs last year were in the Tryon

area, the Polk sheriff's office said, which is why the PCSO joined forces with Tryon Fi re Department this year. The combination w i l l a l l o w Tryon to focus on the needs of its citizens, w h i l e t h e

sheriff's office fields requests countywide.

“Our job is to provide for citizen safety,” sayidTryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “We realized quickly last year just how many needs are in our own fire district. Citizen safety extends beyond fire calls or EMS responses. We strive to be cognizant to all needs of our citizens, and this provides a great opportunity to assist. Once again the Polk County Community Founda-tion has come to the aid of the citizens of Tryon and the Tryon fire district.”

Much like the sheriff's fund for the needy, Tryon’s program will focus on fuel and food needs for those in the Tryon fire district.

Those with needs are asked to contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Office at 894-3001 or the Tryon Fire Department at 859-9566.

The Stories of Green River Cove

by Beauford Arledge

Hunting wild animalsWorking for the past nine

years, Beauford Arledge, 84, gathered his memories into a book that only he could write, “The Stories of Green River Cove.” With permission, the Tryon Daily Bulletin is sharing excerpts from the book with our readers. If you would like to pur-chase a copy of “Stories of Green River Cove” and read the entire book for yourself, call Arledge’s daughter, Susan Howell at 828-894-3724 to order a copy.

Maybe after listening to some of my fish stores, you won’t be ready for my hunting tales. Many people don’t like to think of killing animals. After all, who has ever eaten one alive? Eat-ing a live fish---it might be hard to hold him and take a bite and just eat him raw, uncooked. Should we pick the chicken feathers off with him alive? Or put a live mink around your coat collar? We live our lives at someone else’s expense.

Wild AnimalsWe didn’t eat many wild

animals at home. My dad didn’t eat them and mother didn’t cook them. And the children didn’t learn to eat them. We ate squir-rels the most. I don’t remember seeing my dad eat them, but he probably did. We ate the entire squirrel except for the feet, tail, and hide. The head was one of my favorite pieces. The brain was choice. The brain from the hog was also kept and eaten. So I guess this wasn’t too much out of line. I grew up loving the outdoors, out in the woods.

I spent lots of time playing and climbing trees. We had lots of fun in our early days riding sleds down the hills. Hugh was the sled maker. He would take two pieces of lumber, maybe two by four and four feet long, and slope the front end. He’d nail two pieces across, one to sit on and the other to put your feet on, and we were ready to go. We nailed a piece

flat iron, about 18 inches long, on each side, with a hole in the middle – maybe a piece of wagon wheel. This way we could guide the sled by pulling back one at a time, cutting it in the ground. By pulling back both at once, we had brakes. We really had fun when the snow came. Sometimes I guess it was a little dangerous, but we didn’t mind.

I grew up setting around on the porch and hearing my dad exchange hunting stories with people from the past. My dad had about quit hunting by this time, but he like to tell of catch-ing coons.

T h i s w a s before he was married, when they grew cot-ton. He and his brother Russell hunted togeth-

er. Having light to see by was a problem. So late in the afternoon, after a day of cotton picking, they would go up on the ridge with a sack, and find some rich pine knots. They split them up and put them in the sack, and were ready for a night hunt – maybe all night.

Coon hides were bringing about $2 if they were dried and in good shape. This amount of money would buy a pair of overalls or a sack of flour. I have heard him tell of getting lost hunting and having to wait till daylight to find their way out. In those days people would visit each other and sit around and tell stories of the past. This was a way to entertain.

On a cold rainy day or on a long rainy summer day, sitting by the fireplace or sitting on the porch, gave plenty of time for everyone’s story. There was lots of big laughter and fun. Some of the stories were told over and over, just to have fun. With no radio, television or newspaper, travelers who came walking, riding mules or in horse drawn wagons, spread the news in those times.

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).

ALL ABOUT SLEEP!

A SPECIAL THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SPONSORS!

Sleep is when a person, or animal, is in a naturally occur-ring state of unconsciousness, in order to revive the body and conserve energy. In normal people, sleep occurs regu-larly each night. Although sleep is very similar to hiberna-tion and comas, they are not the same. Comas and hiber-nation occur for longer periods, and it is quite difficult to awaken the person or animal. Most people prefer to sleep lying down, in a dimly-lit or dark room, with little or no noise; the eyes close and the muscles relax. Typically, young chil-dren require more sleep; newborn babies can sleep up to 20 hours a day. Adults sleep an average of six to eight hours of continuous sleep in a 24-hour period, whereas children typically need 10-12 hours. There are two different types of sleep, REM and NREM sleep. REM sleep stands for rapid eye movement. During this stage of sleep, a person’s eyes move rapidly underneath their eyelids. NREM sleep stands for non-rapid eye movement. The majority of our sleep is

NREM and is comprised of four stages. Each stage is a deeper sleep. At the end of the stage 4 sleep, we move into REM sleep. The entire cycle lasts approximately 90 minutes and is repeated over and over again throughout the duration of the sleep period. People dream in both stages of sleep, but dreams are more likely to be active during REM sleep. Scientists have had a hard time isolating the exact reason that we need sleep, but one thing is certain: routine sleep is essential for maintaining good health. In general, it is known that sleep is needed to restore our body. Certain chemicals in the brain are replenished and toxins are removed during sleep. Healing and growing often occur at faster rates during sleep. Lack of sleep, or sleep deprivation, has caused confusion, blurred vision, and poor decision-making skills in people. Some sleep disorders cause people to be unable to sleep, while others may cause them to sleep too much. SLEEP WORD SEARCH

Wolverines expecting big season on matby joey millwood

the polk County wrestling team returns with an interesting mix of grapplers this season.

on one end, the Wolverines have plenty of senior and junior leadership and on the other end, there’s plenty of freshmen youth.

“You won’t see a lot of soph-omores in our lineup,” head coach Brandon schweitzer said.

the Wolverines are return-ing three seniors who all placed

in the state finals last year. J.J. Maxwell placed fifth in the 160-pound weight division, Josh Metcalf finished second in the 215-pound division and Tyler Philpott finished third at 285-pounds.

other key wrestlers returning will be Jose Ramirez, Silvestre ramirez, Kameron painter and Caleb russell.

the Wolverines didn’t make it to the duel team playoffs last season, but schweitzer expects a lot from this year’s cast of

Wolverines. “If we can stay healthy, this

should be a great year for us,” he said.

the key, however, will be the delicate balance of offset-ting sides.

How much balance can be

“I’m really looking forward to seeing the upperclassmen rise to the occasion and the young guys grow over the course of the year.”

-- Polk head Coach brandon schweitzer

Maxwell brings intensity, intangibles to Polk wrestling by joey millwood

When asked what he liked about wrestling, J.J. Maxwell cocked his head to one side and a devilish grin overcame his face.

“It’s a hard-nosed sport,” the 189-pound grappler said. “You gotta be tough. You gotta be ag-gressive. I love the intensity.”

Wrestling may be the tough-est, rugged high school sport there is and that’s the draw for Maxwell – a moth to the flame. His flame is a mat where gruel-ing grappling takes place in a few short minutes and only one man can come out in victory.

His love for the sport was ap-parent, shining through him as a freshman, head coach Brandon schweitzer said. Immediately after the first practice of his high school career, Maxwell approached the coach and asked if could do some extra stadiums to get in better shape.

“that kind of drive is rare in kids,” schweitzer said.

that drive keeps him wres-tling all year, not only during

the high school season.“It’s not just about your high

school season,” he said. “there’s a whole other season.”

and that’s what makes the difference on the mat year in and year out, Maxwell said.

“You wrestle how you drill,” he said. “It’s gonna reflect how you wrestle on the mat.”

His hard work and dedication has made the senior a leader on the wrestling team. He placed fifth at state last year in the 160-pound weight class and

“Off the mat, [J.J. Maxwell] has truly become a team leader and role model for younger wrestlers aspiring to have the same success they see him having.”

found between the seniors on one end and the freshmen on the other end?

“I’m really looking forward to seeing the upperclassmen rise to the occasion and the young guys grow over the course of the year,” schweitzer said.

DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not

so long ago, a local couple

happened upon a skinny

little Appaloosa mare in a

dirt lot. Her owner no longer

wanted to trail ride her; she

wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew

a few things about horses

and decided to take her

home with them and find

the little mare a new family.

Some extra food, good grass

and a few trail rides later this

couple put an ad up in the

local feed store.

At this very same time, a

sweet “horse crazy” young

girl had convinced her

parents to let her take some

riding lessons. She caught

the bug and now dreamed of

having her own horse. After

some poking and prodding

her parents answered an ad

they found at the local feed

store: an Appaloosa mare –

for sale! The little girl, whose name

is Amanda, met the little

mare, who’s name is Nia,

and as most dreams happen

(when they come true) it was

destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take

lessons from a local profes-

sional. After about six weeks

of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding

Club Horse Trial at FENCE

where they won their dres-

sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country

course and stadium jump-

ing. They ended up high

point!Amanda Morfino on her new horse Nia, with Renée and Nick Morfino. (photo submitted)

polk County High school will hold the reindeer games indoor track meet on Wednesday, Dec. 15 at 4 p.m. at the high school.

the games are held to raise awareness and funds for the needy. organizers said the need is especially urgent this year, with many people no longer employed and in financial straits.

the reindeer games events will run along with the regu-lar events at the Wednesday, De-cember 15 polar Bear Meet.

organizers have added a cou-ple of relays that are different from the regular indoor track events, and they are considering dropping the 3200 meter run.

Qualifying times, heights, and distances will count for state qualifying; however, some added events are not ones normally contested at indoor meets.

the meet will include the 4 x 200, the field event 4 x 100, and the shot put relay. organizers said they might even invent others. these relays will be run with large candy canes rather than relay batons.

the purpose of the reindeer games is to help provide food

for the needy over the holiday season. an entry fee of one can of food per athlete (or $2) will be collected. spectators will also be charged one can of food for admission or $5.

the food will be turned over to the thermal Belt outreach

for distribution to the needy. Last year the event collected more than 800 cans for distri-bution.

e v e r y o n e is invited to come and join in the reindeer games. Wear

something to celebrate the sea-son. the uniform rule will be somewhat relaxed. Wear antlers, a santa hat, be an elf or be more creative. runners are asked not wear anything that could cause an injury or interference.

organizers said they will use Fat; however, they will allow up to five per event.

the entry deadline is Friday, Dec. 10, 2010. please email or fax your entry to 828-894-2093.

If you are interested in par-ticipating, contact alan peoples at 828-894-2525 (phone), 828-894-2093 (fax) or [email protected] or [email protected] (email).

Reindeer Games track meet Dec. 15 at PCHS

schweitzer expects another late state title push for the senior grappler.

and while his individual efforts are helpful to the score-board at the end of a match,

Maxwell brings something intangible that may be worth a little extra.

“off the mat, he has truly become a team leader and role model for younger wrestlers aspiring to have the same suc-cess they see him having,” schweitzer said.

The mahler Family board room is transformed into the ultimate Gift Gallery for the ultimate holiday Party benefit at Tryon Fine arts Center. (photo submitted)

PostSecret exhibition opensin Spartanburg Dec. 7The Spartanburg Art Museum

in Spartanburg, SC, is now pre-senting PostSecret, the commu-nity art project that grew into an international phenomenon with an award-winning blog and five New York Times bestsellers. The exhibition will be on display at the Chapman Cultural Center Dec. 7, 2010 – Feb. 5, 2011.

In November 2004, Frank War-ren handed out 3,000 postcards to strangers. He invited people to write down a secret anonymously and mail it to him. Each secret had to be true and something that had never been shared with another person. These initial secrets were exhibited in Washington, DC, later that year. After the first exhi-bition closed, word of the project

spread. People began crafting their own homemade postcards and the artful secrets began arriv-ing from every continent.

Today, Warren has received more than 500,000 postcards in all shapes, materials and languages. Sunday, Warren posts secrets on his award-winning website (www.PostSecret.com), which receives about 6,000,000 visitors per month. The most recent bestsell-ing book spawned by this interna-tional phenomenon is “PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death and God,” published in 2009.

The PostSecret exhibition fea-tures more than 400 postcards that bring together the most powerful, poignant, and beautifully intimate secrets Warren has received. War-

ren continues to receive about 1,000 postcards per week and he updates his website every Sunday. He continues to call himself an “accidental artist” because he does not have an artistic back-ground or training. Warren lives in Germantown, MD, with his wife and daughter.

Warren says, “I have been asked many times why I started this. It still feels to me as though this project found me. All I try to do is make the right decisions every day to protect the integrity of the project – and learn to trust the journey.”

The PostSecret exhibition tour is organized by International Arts and Artists, Washington, DC.

Winemaking class offered in Hendersonville December 9

A three-hour winemaking class will be held Thursday, Dec. 9, at Falderal Winery, located at 131 Third Avenue West in downtown Hender-sonville, beginning at 5:30 p.m. Cost includes the class/demonstration, one bottle of wine from Falderal Winery and a tasting of various wines available at Falderal.

Class size is limited, so those interested should contact the winery soon. Participants

will learn how to make wine using their own grapes or from a kit. Call Paul Kovacich at 828-693-7676 or email [email protected].

Making wine or beer at home from kits is a fairly new concept in Western North Car-olina, Kovacich said, however it is a popular hobby in other lo-cations, particularly in Canada, where taxes on purchased wine and beer are high. “There is a craft involved when making

wine at home, even if you use a kit,” Kovacich added. “This is why I’m happy to offer classes on how to make your very best small-batch wines at home.”

For more information about wine-making classes or about Falderal Winery’s products and services, call 828-693-7676. The store is open from noon - 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday.
