by John Clayton

Road construction in sev-eral areas of Polk County has caused concern that parents could experience delays as they take children to school for the first day of the new school year tomorrow.

But N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) engineer

Aaron Powell said he does not expect delays as schools begin the 2010-11 school year Wednesday.

Three projects – resurfacing work being done on a section of Hwy. 108 between Tryon and Columbus, construction on an-other section of Hwy. 108 at Pea Ridge Road east of Columbus

and resurfacing work on I-26 – have led to traffic tie-ups all around Polk County recently.

Powel l sa id he hoped Wednesday, at the latest, would be the final day of the repaving work on Hwy. 108 between Tryon and Columbus.

Polk County road work should not affect school opening traffic tomorrow, DOT says

‘Theater of the Mind’ lost on youth today, Drake saysby Jeff Byrd

You know Bill Drake is old school when he says he counts Arthur Godfrey (1903-1983) as his mentor.

He is so old school that when he teaches today, he sometimes loses his students. That hurts, he said, since as a longtime Spar-tanburg radio personality, he is a professional at engaging an audi-ence. But, Drake said Monday that he has noticed a “genera-tional phenomenon” when work-ing with college students.

They can’t picture the stories in their mind.

Drake teaches as an adjunct professor at Wofford College, mostly Public Speaking classes. But one year, he was offered the chance to teach a course titled, “The History of American Broadcast.”

He described his work with students in that course during an interview for the Western Carolina Radio Club Monday at

Isothermal Community College in Columbus.

Interviewing Drake for the club was Dick Briggs, also a man with a long career in radio and television. Briggs, who worked in broadcast in Texas, Augusta, Ga. Macon, Ga. and Hilton Head, S.C. was well-known locally as the newscaster for WSPA-TV in Spartanburg some years ago. Currently Briggs runs his own media brokerage business out of his home in Landrum.

Briggs asked Drake about the “generational phenomenon.”

“When I was asked to teach the history of broadcast class, I asked the Wofford dean, ‘What are my qualifications?’” Drake recalled. “The dean said, ‘You are the history of American broadcast!’”

“I felt the class in the past had put too much emphasis on TV and not enough on radio,” he explained. So when the semester

“We can visualize what radio was. We have the ability to picture things in our minds. Kids don’t. If they can’t see it, or watch it on their cell phone, they can’t do it at all. They thought broadcasting started with 'All In The Family.'”

Tryon appoints Eckstein to historic commissionTryon Town Council recently appointed Larry Eckstein to its historic preservation commission. The town is still seeking one volunteer for the commission.

Brady appointed to Harmon Field boardJune Brady was appointed recenty to the Harmon Field Board of Supervisors by Tryon Town Council. The town has another appointment to make to fill the board.

Tryon approves code of ethicsThe Town of Tryon now has a code of ethics after approval this month. In 2009, the N.C. General Assembly adopted legislation requiring all governing boards to adopt a code of ethics. Tryon based their code on a book published by Flemming Bell with the N.C. Institute of Government.

Tryon renews Main Street program participationTryon Town Council last week approved a resolution to continue participating in the N.C. Small Town Main Street Program. The town has participated in the program for the past three years and the resolution was for the town to continue through the current fiscal year.

Tryon strategic planTryon Town Council last week approved a strategic plan. The town has been working on the strategic plan for months, with a public hearing held in April.

Scoops ‘n More sewer tap fee not waivedColumbus Town Council denied a sewer tap fee waiver to Scoops ‘n More, a business that sells ice cream and other foods in Co-lumbus. Scoops ‘n More requested the fee to tap onto the town’s sewer service be waived because of other costs associated with tapping onto the sewer system. Council members said they do not want to set a precedent and they made no motion to waive the fee. The town charges a $1,114 sewer tap fee, plus a $600 impact fee for businesses.

Ag center to lease Columbus recycling containersThe Town of Columbus will lease the recycling containers it no longer uses to the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center for $1 per bin per year. The town closed its recycling center this summer after contracting with All Bright Sanitation to reinstate curbside recycling.

No regional map funding from ColumbusThe Town of Columbus has opted not to participate in helping to fund a regional map, citing tight budget constraints. The last map including Columbus was done in 2007. A more detailed map that includes the Landrum area is being proposed.

Columbus to offer students government educationColumbus Town Council agreed last week to offer its council chambers to area teachers to bring students for govern-ment education. Council member Ernie Kan suggested the idea in an effort to introduce students to government. Kan suggested that teachers could bring classes there for night sessions and have mock council meetings.

began, Drake brought out tapes of Jack Benny, “the incompa-rable master of radio.”

“I turned off the lights” in the classroom, he said, so the class could listen without visual distractions. “Always a mistake.”

When he turned the lights back on, “75 percent of the students were asleep.”

Drake kept trying. He brought out old Burns & Al-len shows, Arthur Godfrey and Dragnet, but got the same reaction.

“With the absence of visuals, the ‘theater of the mind’ does not work for them,” he con-cluded. “We can visualize what radio was. We have the ability to picture things in our minds. Kids don’t. If they can’t see it, or watch it on their cell phone, they can’t do it at all. They thought broadcasting started with “All In The Family.”

Even though a portion of his class was African American, Drake said he could not get across the radical significance of the old Amos & Andy shows, “two white guys playing black guys.”

It wasn’t always a visual-only world. Drake remembers a time when AM radio was all the rage.

When Drake first went on air on WSPA in Spartanburg in 1976, there wasn’t much com-petition from television or even other radio stations. AM radio was king, and WSPA wore the crown. FM had just 25 percent of the market.

AM radio’s market share is now down to just ten percent, Drake said.

The urge to broadcast was one he had nearly from birth, Drake said. He started prac-ticing play-by-plays as a sev-en-year-old in Iowa, creating imaginary baseball games. His unique, high-pitched voice carried through the windows -- there was no air condition-ing at that time -- and he said,

“Neighbors would stay up to see how the game came out.”

He went to Rippon College in Wisconsin because it offered two student radio stations. After college, he began a journey-man’s career in broadcasting, moving to move up, eventually heading south from Milwaukee to Columbia, S.C. Finally, he landed, 34 years ago, in Spar-tanburg.

He credits his success to his versatility. He still does play-by-play sports announc-ing for Wofford College, is an accomplished disc jockey, does commer-cial work, and is well-versed in news report-ing. His spe-ciality is inter-views.

W h e n Drake arrived in Spartanburg, it had been three years since the legendary Cliff “Farmer” Grey had left the air, a mourning period which was just long enough that a newcomer could find comfort in the broadcasting booth with-out the ghost of Farmer looming over every broadcast.

“Who can replace a legend?” Drake asked.

Drake established his own status as a legend as a fixture on WSPA-AM radio for 29 years, earning the honorary title, “Spartanburg’s Goodwill Ambassador.”

In 2004, S.C. Gov. Mark Sanford awarded Drake the

“Order of the Palmetto,” the highest civilian honor awarded by the Governor of South Caro-lina. It is awarded to persons who make contributions of statewide significance. In ad-dition to his radio show, Drake has run the Spartanburg County Christmas Music Festival for 32 years and started a Battle of the Brains competition which involves 32 middle schools in five counties.

Business dictated big chang-es for Drake in 2005.

After weathering several changes in sta-tion ownership, Drake began working with the new own-ers, Davidson Media Group. He purchased from Davidson 35 hours per week to air his

variety shows on 103.3 FM WOLT and now is on air Mon-day through Saturday from 5 a.m. until 10 a.m.

He also broadcasts taped versions of his “Songs of Inspi-ration” show on Sunday morn-ings from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m.

At first, Davidson had no plans to continue with Drake after purchasing the station. But an intense letter and e-mail campaign by Spartanburg area community leaders, faithful ad-vertisers and listeners prompted Davidson to offer Drake the time slots.

“There is no one who does what I do anymore. Variety broadcasting.… It used to be that everyone was doing it.”

-- Bill Drake

The 103.3 FM frequency serves an area from Gaffney, S.C. on the east, to Greenville, S.C. on the west, and from Union, S.C. to the south and Tryon, N.C. on the north.

Drake broadcasts from his same, former WSPA studio at 6665 Pottery Road, Spartanburg, now part of the Restoration Church property. His company, Awake With Drake LLC, sells its own sponsorships to pay the bills.

“It’s been five years and things are still tough,” Drake told about 35 members of the Western Carolina Radio Club assembled Monday. “I’ve been on air for 51 years, and the question I ask myself about ev-ery five minutes now is, ‘When do you hang it up?’ Do I quit or just downsize?

“I’m addicted. I really don’t know if I could just give it up all at once.”

While it is tough doing the show and marketing the

sponsorships, Drake said he can’t see simply being hired by someone else to do the same job.

“There is no place for me in the new, modern (radio) formats,” he said.

Drake still talks about what-ever strikes him — sports, politics, the weather. He prac-tices what he calls “relationship broadcasting,” a term he draws from the book of Romans, where we are instructed to, “Re-joice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.”

Even in the disc jockey for-mats, there used to be a radio “personality,” speaking and engaging listeners between songs.

“There is no one who does what I do anymore,” Drake said. “Variety broadcasting. Talking about what I want to talk about. Doing the positive side. There is so much negativ-ity on. There is the negative, but there is still stuff to talk about that is not depressing. It used to be that everyone was doing it.”

“I’m going to talk to the con-tractor and tell him not to start Wednesday until after 8 a.m.,” said Powell.

The project on Hwy. 108 at Pea Ridge Road, which was originally scheduled to end Aug. 19, has been extended until Aug. 27. Crews are working there from 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, and traffic is being detoured around the construc-

tion. A hill near the intersection is being lowered to improve visibility and driver safety.

The I-26 resurfacing proj-ect, which has moved to the ramps at Exit 67 at Columbus, had traffic tied up late Friday evening. A line of motorists on Westbound I-26 was tied up for about an hour as traf-fic was backed up beyond the North-Carolina-South Carolina state line.

That project is scheduled to conclude Sept. 30.

Myers, Whittle and Green Grass Cloggers perform at FENCE’s Dancing Under the Stars September 4

On Saturday, September 4, 2010 FENCE will host the fifth annual Dancing Under the Stars. This fundraising event for TROT (Therapeutic Riding of Tryon), the therapeutic riding program at FENCE will take place on the Equestrian side, under the cov-ered arena starting at 6 p.m.

The entertainment is present-ed by Friends of FENCE (Bryan Easler Toyota, Carolina Lawn and Tractor, and Freer Equine). Local equestrian performers will continually entertain.

Three of the performers will be the Green Grass Cloggers, Mary Myers and Caroline Whittle.

Green Grass CloggersGreen Grass Cloggers is the

original high-stepping Appa-lachian mountain clogdancing dance company. Formed in 1971 by students at East Carolina University, the Cloggers quickly gained national recognition be-cause of their original eclectic style of dance, which was radical-ly different from the traditional North Carolina team clogging of this period.

By 1974 the Green Grass Cloggers had achieved a national reputation, having won two world championships, and were invited to perform at major folk festivals throughout the United States and Canada. From 1977 to 1987, some of the dancers went on tour internationally and became

known as the “Road Team” while the remaining dancers (the “Home Team”) stayed in Greenville and performed at local festivals throughout the state.

In 1980 the Road Team relo-cated permanently to Asheville, N.C., and they still perform two to three times per year at selected venues. The Home Team in Greenville remains active and keeps the tradition of the Green Grass Cloggers alive, still danc-ing the original routines and continuing to recruit and train new dancers.

Mary MyersMary Myers was born and

raised in Trenton, N.J. and re-ceive her initial music training with the choirmistress of the local Presbyterian Church. After college, she taught music in the public schools in Passaic, N.J.

For 23 years she sung at the Metropolitan Opera as a full-time chorister. During that time she performed small solo roles in Massenet’s “Manon,” Puc-cini’s “Turandot” and “Manon Lescaut,” Mozart’s “Abduction for the Seraglio,” Verdi’s “Mac-

Beth,” Strauss’ “Der Rosenkava-lier” and others.

Her lifetime of singing brought many awards in the greater New York area and major prizes from the Philadelphia Lyric, Balti-more and Metropolitan Opera Companies.

Caroline WhittleCaroline Whittle, a native of

Great Brittain was brought up in a riding and driving family. At a very young age she was showing at such shows as Royal

Welsh, Royal Lancashire show and lower Castle to name a few. Whittle moved to the western United States in 1981 and con-tinued to show and train mainly Welsh ponies in both pleasure and combined driving, and in the hunter ring, winning numer-ous events and championships, driving a four in hand, pairs, and singles with many different horses or pony combinations.

More recently based on the east coast, she met and married her husband Jerry McSwain and together they have a small train-ing farm in Columbus. Hunting with the Green Creek Hounds, showing events and driving, this diverse trainer was long listed for the U.S. pony driving team with a pair of Gayfields Welsh Ponies. She is now showing a young driving pair of Haflingers.

Whittle offers a program teaching students basic skills, fine tuning them, producing confident

successful riders and drivers from children to amateurs, begin-ner through advanced. Organiz-ing arena driving trials in the summer gives both students and the driving community a place to both practice advanced skills, or learn the show for the first time. The horses and ponies at the training farm are a combina-tion of Welsh Ponies, Friesians, Dartmore Ponies, Warmbloods, Gypsy Vanners and Miniature horses at all different levels of riding and driving.

Tickets are on sale now. Bleacher seats and dinner tick-ets will be sold. Dinner tickets consist of dinner from Stone Soup of Landrum, S.C., under the covered arena and the show. Bleacher seat ticket holders are invited to bring a picnic, no food will be sold. There will be beer and wine for sale for bleacher seat ticket holders.

Late pass lifts PCHS past TuscolaPolk County High senior Trey Couch (2) chases down Tuscola receiver Sam Anderson (6) during the Wolverines’ season-opening 20-14 victory over the Mountaineers in Waynesville. (staff photo by Fulton Hampton)

Gamble, Booker TD is differenceby John Clayton

polk County High school called the perfect play at the per-fect time in Friday night’s 20-14 season-opening win at tuscola.

Facing fourth-down with four yards to go at the tuscola 40 and with just about two minutes left in the game, pCHs head coach Bruce ollis called a time out. Moments later, the Wolverines broke the huddle and quarter-back andre overholt, who had showed occasional rust from a

largely inactive preseason during the first three quarters, floated a pass to Joel Booker, who took it the remaining 20 yards for the game-winning touchdown.

“During the timeout, I told the kids that if we executed and gave andre an extra tick to throw it, we could score a touchdown on that play,” said ollis.

the victory for the Wolverines was their second-straight season-opening win over tuscola, but neither has come easy. each game, pCHs had to recover from an early deficit.

the Mountaineers had one last possession for the victory – and an opening with a missed extra-

point try, but Howard scrambled and was stripped of the ball by nose guard Jay sutton, and the fumble was recovered by over-holt with only a few seconds to play.

“I’d been waiting the whole game,” said sutton. “I saw him cut back, and I anticipated. I dove and I hit it, but I didn’t even know I stripped it.”

after tuscola took a 7-0 lead on rob Howard’s 5-yard touch-down pass to Michael stroupe with 10:41 left in the second quarter, pCHs answered with two straight scores to take a 14-7 lead.

overholt’s 10-yard touch-

down run with 1:19 to play in the first half tied the score at 7-7 after Jacob Christiansen’s extra point, capping a scoring drive that was set up by Cody orick’s 44-yard punt return to the tuscola 36.

running back tyler ridings gave the Wolverines (1-0) a 14-7 lead on a 2-yard run with 1:28 remaining in the third quarter.

pCHs made that lead hold up until tuscola put together a scor-ing drive, which was extended by a personal-foul penalty at the end of a third-and-21 play, capped by Howard’s 10-yard pass to sam anderson with 7:26 to play.

After school camp returns to Harmon Field

The school year is fast barrel-ing down on you. Do you know what your child will be doing when school is not in session? According to research, after school programs present the best opportunity for children whose parents are unable to be at home when school closes.

Serendipity Kids Ranch Out-door Camp is open when school is closed – after school, teacher workdays, and most holidays. The children who attend enjoy an afternoon of exercise and a healthy snack, balanced with one-on-one tutoring with their homework.

Bus service is available from Polk Middle School and Tryon Elementary. Transportation will also be provided from Forbes, Polk Central, and Sunnyview. The public is invited to come to Harmon Field’s community building and visit them.

For more information or to register your child today, visit the website at serendipitykid-sranch.com or call 828-894-3370.

Roderic Walter Cartier

Roderic Walter Cartier died August 21, 2010 at Tryon Es-tates, 10 days shy of his 93rd birthday. He was born August 31, 1917 in Burlington, Vt., the eldest son of Walter Joseph Cartier and Pearl Melissa Smith-ers. Walter was educated in the Charlotte, N.C., public schools, Mars Hill College, and the University of North Carolina. He taught in York, S.C., and Wadesboro and Hickory, N.C., where he was a band director.

During WWII he served as first lieutenant with the Civil Air Patrol and flight instructor with the U.S. Army

Air Corps.After the war, he moved

with his wife and daughter to Illinois as chamber of commerce executive in West Frankfort and Carmi. In 1953 he moved to Murray, Ky., as agency man-ager with State Farm Insurance Companies and was soon moved to Knoxville, Tenn. In 1959 he was promoted to the regional office of State Farm Insurance Companies in Murfreesboro, Tenn., as the company’s first regional director of training and education.

Walter retired from State Farm and built his home in Ft. Myers Beach, Fla., in 1975 and immediately became active in civic and church affairs. He was the first president of the Beach Voters Association and served three years in this organization dedicated to the betterment of the beach. He also served on the Lee County Planning Commis-sion and the County Infrastruc-ture Task Force.

After spending 18 years of retirement in Ft. Myers Beach, the Cartiers returned to his first wife’s hometown of Hopkins-ville, Ky., where they founded and he was president of the Christian County Genealogical Society. While in Hopkins-ville, he was a member of First

Obituaries United Methodist Church and taught an adult Sunday school class. In 1997 they moved to Tryon Estates to be closer to their daughter, Fran Creasy. At Tryon Estates the Cartiers also helped organize a genealogical society.

Walter is survived by his wife of 7 years, Nina Jillson Cartier; his daughter, Fran Cart-ier Creasy (Al) of Tryon; two granddaughters, Elaine Creasy Grella (Tom) of Arden, N.C., and Melinda Creasy (Steve Fitzgerald) of Naperville, Ill.; seven great grandchildren; two stepsons, (the Revs. Andrew and Edward Jillson); five step-grandchildren; a brother, Bruce Cartier (Marjorie) of Wilming-ton, N.C., and many nieces and nephews.

Walter (or Roddy, as he was known to his family) was a 32nd degree Mason, a Shriner, president and past lieutenant governor of Kiwanis Interna-tional for Tenn., and served as an instructor in the U.S. Power Squadron in Fla. He became an Eagle Scout in 1935 and was a member of the National Eagle Scout Association. Wherever he lived, he served his church as a Bible teacher for more than 50 years, and served on many church committees. His love was the choir which he directed for a number of years and in which he sang as a member for many more. He was dedicated to his church and community work.

He loved travel and visited all the 50 states and many foreign countries. The trip to the Holy Land and Egypt in 1994 was his favorite.

Walter was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved wife of 64 years, Adelaide Linton Cartier; and his sister, Elaine Cartier Creasy.

Memorials may be made to Tryon Presbyterian Church, 430 Harmon Field Road, Tryon, N.C. 28782. A memorial service will be held Saturday, August 28, 2010 at 3 p.m. at Tryon Presbyterian Church.McFarland Funeral Chapel, Tryon.

Glenn Madison Head

Glenn Madison Head, who was an electrical engineer at Honeywell for 42 years, and was for more than two decades a loyal driver of the purple bus at Calvary Baptist Church in Clearwater, Fla., died Friday in Dunedin, Fla. He was 75.

Glenn joined Honeywell in 1957, straight out of college. Because of the nature of his work, his family often couldn’t (and in some cases still can’t) know the details, but Glenn and they were always proud of his involvement with the space shuttle and the Voyager and Gemini missions.

In the mid-70s, Glenn was one of the founders of the bus minis-try at Calvary Baptist. He drove the purple bus through north Clearwater and south Dunedin, visiting families on Saturdays and picking children up on Sun-days. Every Sunday morning, Mr. Head was there, opening the bus doors in welcome, living out in concrete action his firm conviction that every child is a child of God.

Glenn was born on October 18, 1934 in Rutherfordton, N.C., received his bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from the University of South Carolina in 1957 and his master’s degree

Obituaries from the University of Florida in 1967. Glenn was a member of Crossroads Baptist Church in Palm Harbor, Fla.

Survivors include his wife of 50 years, M. Sue Gregory Head of Dunedin, Fla., and Maryville, Tn.; two beloved daughters, Marti Head of Wayne, Pa., and Debbie Fox of Tifton, Ga.; six grandchildren of whom he was inordinately proud, Douglas Creager of East Somerville, Mass., Rachel Creager-Allen of Mebane, N.C., Rebekah Fox of Louisville, Ky., Hannah Fox of Milledgeville, Ga., Sarah and Nathaniel Fox of Tifton, Ga.; and one brother, Robert N. Head (Marie) of Valdese, N.C.

Glenn was predeceased by his parents, Robert and Blanche Head, and by one sister, Sybil Henson.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Glenn’s name to the Florida Baptist Children’s Home in Lakeland, Fla. (www.FBCHomes.org).

Funeral services will be held at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2010 at Miller Funeral Home Magnolia Chapel, Maryville, Fla. Entombment 10 a.m. Thurs-day at Grandview Cemetery Mausoleum Chapel. The family will receive friends from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday at Miller Funeral Home, Maryville, Fla., 865-982-6041, www.millerfu-neralhome.org.

Mill Spring Ag Center partners with TBO, FHS at flea market Saturday

Kathy Toomey, long-time volunteer of the Foothills Humane Society shows off a dog from their “On the road” program, which showcases adult dogs who have graduated from their “Back to School” obedience training. (photo submitted)

This Saturday, August 28, at the flea market at the Mill Spring Ag Center, the theme is “Back to School.” The Ag Center is partnering with Thermal Belt Outreach and Foothills Humane Society’s “On the Road” show as the featured non-profits this month promoting the “Back to School” theme and pet-adoption obedience training.

Other flea market vendors will offer specific back to school items in their booths like clothing, backpacks, shoes, sports equipment, books, sup-plies, computer furniture and electronic equipment.

Foothills Humane Society’s “On the Road” show brings adoptable dogs out in public to help showcase and socialize them and send them home with their new families.

They are ready to leave the flea market as your new best friend having had all their shots, been spayed or neutered, with their microchip in place and as graduates of a unique and dedi-cated doggie obedience training branded as “100% Recyclable.” Program creator Kayla Parrish of The Educated Horse and More explains, “‘100% Recy-clable’ is designed to rehabili-tate and train shelter dogs into model citizens. Many of the dogs that have already been adopted through the program were on their very last chance.

We want the public to know that just because they are an adult dog in the shelter does not mean that they are damaged or have issues or are uncontrol-lable. Many of the dogs that go through class have better manners by the time they are adopted than most people’s pets that they have had since puppyhood.”

Thermal Belt Outreach will also be at the flea market accept-ing “Back to School” donations and also distributing those sup-plies through a brief needs-based application process. Call TBO at 894-2988 for a list of needed supplies.

The organizations’ Feed-A-

Kid program will also be on site at the flea market and TBO is accepting donations to be dropped off at the flea market for their tag sale set to be held at the Ag Center in October. Dollar hot dogs and live en-tertainment will also be at this Saturday’s flea market.

Come out and socialize at the old Mill Spring School for some “Back to School” excitement. Vendors are wanted.

Flea market hours are from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Vendors set-up at 7 a.m. No early pull outs. Contact Carol Lynn Jackson at 828-817-2308 to register to be a vendor.


Local McDonald’s to host Teacher Appreciation Day Wed., August 25

In an effort to show their support for teachers and all school employees, McDonald’s restaurants in the Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina area will be serving free breakfast to all school employees on Wednesday, August 25.

“This small gesture is our way of saying ‘thanks’ to edu-cators for giving our children and communities their best every day,” said Juia Skipper, McDonald’s owner/operator in Laurens County. “We want to wish teachers well as they gear up for a new school year.”

On Wednesday, August 25 from 6 to 10:30 a.m., McDon-ald’s in the Greenville-Spartan-burg-Asheville area will be serv-ing a free breakfast sandwich and one small McCafe coffee to all educators and school staff that show a valid school ID.

The Columbus lions Club recently treated the members of Cub Scout Pack 151 to a night out at a Forest City Owls baseball game. Both lions and Cubs enjoyed watching the Owls win 8-3 over Thomasville in an exciting finish after leading by only one run in the sixth inning. During the seventh inning stretch, Cub Alex Pearson (below) got cheers from the crowd when he raced the Owl mascot around the diamond and won by executing a head-first slide into home plate. Other Scouts also participated in contests on the field. Cub Scout Pack 151 has 32 Scouts ranging from six to 11 years old. above: Cubs Dustin Walker, Christopher (little brother) and Alex Pearson, and Jonathan Stoll. lion Bonnie Wood smiles down.
