Pack said the individual can choose the time to be called each day. She said one gentle-man has his call come in at 5:30 p.m. because he works with farm equipment and fears that a large piece of equipment might fall on him during the day. Others want early morn-ing calls to make sure they didn’t fall when getting out of bed.

Pack added that many of the participants let the department know where a hidden key is so a deputy can enter the home if the individual is believed to be in danger.

Pack said the program has been incredibly beneficial to people in the community. She said if nothing else it provides a bit of peace of mind.

“Sometimes I think we are the only people some of these individuals are talking to on a regular basis,” she said. “I

have one lady whose machine never works, but sometimes I think it’s just because she wants someone to talk to.”

There is no restriction based on age, Pack said, adding that anyone who has a medical condition or is home alone on a regular basis could receive the call.

“What do you have to lose to be on it? It doesn’t cost anything,” Pack said. “If you know that you aren’t going to be there – we just ask that the person calls in and lets us know.”

Participants are also able to give the department a laundry list of important information to keep on file, such as emer-gency contacts, key holders, if there is a DNR in place, a physician’s name, if the indi-vidual walks with a cane or a

walker and if they have pets in the house.

Landrum council members seemed keenly interested in of-fering the service to the city’s own residents when Edgens proposed the idea in July.

“It’s been a good program over there [in Polk County] a n d f r o m w h a t I ’ v e heard it has done a lot for their elderly r e s i d e n t s , ” said Landrum City Council-

man Johnny Carruth. Polk County has offered to

allow Landrum to run a pilot version of the program through its system for up to about 50 people, Pack said.

Edgens said he conserva-tively thinks 30-35 people might be interested in partici-pating in the program initially. If the actual number grew far

“[RUOK has] been a good program over there [in Polk County] and from what I’ve heard it has done a lot for their elderly residents.”

-- Johnny Carruth

beyond these expectations, he said the city might have to look into purchasing its own system.

Edgens said based on re-search he’s done, the cost of an automated call system would be about $7,500.

“If people really like it and it gets going, we’ll have to keep it going,” Edgens said.

Mayor Robert Briggs and other council enthusiastically gave their approval for Edgens to move forward with a pilot version of the program.

“Another thing it does is it builds a relationship between the police department and the citizens,” said Briggs.

Landrum residents inter-ested in participating in a pilot version of the program can call the Landrum Police Department at 864-457-7281. Anyone who wants to be added to the program in Polk County can call Pack at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office at 828-894-3001.

the woman striking the man with the vehicle. After the man got back into the vehicle, the officer start-ed a pursuit that included speeds of 105 mph through Columbus, ac-cording to the sheriff’s office.

The chase involved offi-cers with the Polk County Sheriff’s Of-fice, the Co-lumbus Police Department, the N.C. High-way Patrol and the Tryon Police Department. Fire departments from Tryon and Landrum, as well as the Landrum Rescue Squad and Spartanburg EMS, responded to the scene fol-

lowing the rollover.Chief deputy Mike Wheeler

with the sheriff’s office said the chase went from Columbus, down Houston and Skyuka Roads, back through Columbus, then onto Lynn Road (Hwy. 108) into Tryon and over the South Carolina line. The chase ended at the intersection of Greenwood Road and Fox Run Lane near Landrum when the reported stolen 2012 Chrysler the suspects were driving flipped and wrecked, Wheeler said.

Multiple charges are currently pending on the driver, Melissa Ann Crane, 29, of 1210 Green-fern Drive, Greenville, S.C., and the passenger, Bradley Garrison Cox, 33, of 8 E. Blue Ridge Drive, Greenville, S.C.

Crane had an outstanding war-rant for her arrest out of Spartan-burg County for a probation viola-tion and Cox had an outstanding warrant for his arrest for auto theft, according to sheriff’s office re-ports. The pending warrant against Cox was for a different vehicle than the alleged stolen Chrysler the

two were driving on Wednesday, officers said.

Both suspects were taken to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center for treatment following the wreck. They will first be pro-cessed by the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office on the warrants

then additional charges out of Polk County will be issued. Charges will include at least fleeing to elude ar-rest and property damage, includ-ing damage Crane reportedly did to a bench and fence while striking Cox with the vehicle at the Texaco, officers said.

Homer C. CarderHomer Clint Carder Jr., 91, of

Columbus, passed away peaceful-ly in his sleep on April 24, 2013. He was a resi-dent of Tryon Estates.

Mr. Carder was born in Tarrant, Ala. on March 2, l922. He was the son of Homer C. Carder and Lex Ingram Carder.

Like his father, brother and sister he graduated from Auburn University. He earned a degree in chemical engineering in 1943. He was active in the ROTC and was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.

Shortly after graduation Mr. Carder joined the United States

Army and served as an Air Observation pi-lot for the 209th Field Artillery Battalion. He

saw action in the European, Afri-can and Middle Eastern Theaters before his discharge from active duty in 1946 as a First Lieutenant.

Upon completion of his mili-tary service, Mr. Carder joined the Monsanto Chemical Company in 1946. He had a very successful career at Monsanto, the only job he ever had, eventually retiring from that company in 1982 as a senior executive in St. Louis, Mo. He traveled the world for Monsanto advising on new plant construction, including visits to Russia and China during the midst of the Cold War.

In 1983 he moved from St. Louis to Tryon, with his wife Nadine L. “Wendy” Carder. Mr. Carder enjoyed a passion for golf and they built a home in Red Fox Country Club adjacent to the

13th green. He had a very active retirement, working first for H & R Block, and then volunteering extensively. He was president of the American Heart Association of Polk County, a mediator in family and civil disputes, and a director in the Rotary. He served two terms as president of the Congregation of The Congregational Church UCC of Tryon. Appropriately he was awarded Tryon’s “Second Wind Hall of Fame” for his extensive volunteer efforts.

He and Wendy were avid gour-mets and traveled to Europe where they were trained in the culinary arts at world-renown cooking schools. They loved to entertain and had many parties focusing on their cooking and fine wines. Mr. Carder was a Certified Barbecue Judge and traveled regionally to competitions.

Mr. Carder is survived by his wife of 46 years, Wendy Carder; a son, Stephen Carder, of South Pasadena, Fla.; a sister, Sue Chichester of Spanish Fort, Ala.; stepsons, Greg Bowcott of San Diego, Cali. and Randy Bowcott of Waukegan, Ill.; three grandsons, one granddaughter, two great-grandsons, and several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents; his brother, Eugene D. Carder and daughter, Carolyn Carder.

Burial services will be private. A Celebration of Life honoring Mr. Carder will take place on May 4 at 4 p.m. at Tryon Estates in Co-lumbus, with a reception to follow.

The family suggests that me-morial tributes be made to The Alzheimer’s Association, The Hospice of the Carolina Foothills or The Congregational Church UCC, Tryon.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongue’s roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascar’s primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemur’s natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

The gift of doing nothing •Doing nothing(continued from page 8)

(continued on page 9)

the hebrew Scriptures begin with a beautiful, poetic account of creation. for six days, God creates the cos-mos and after a long week’s work we are told, “God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). God created a world filled with wonder and beauty, and God was pleased.

after six days of hard work, God kicks off his shoes, whistles a tune and sits for a spell. the scriptures record it this way, “So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it

God rested from all the work that he had done in creation” (Genesis 2:3).

the rythmns of work and rest are an essential part of our being. many of us un-derstand the importance of work, even finding meaning and purpose in our vocations, especially as it contributes to the common good. Yet, we have difficulty with this concept of rest — what the Jewish and Christian tradi-tions call Sabbath. our cul-ture doesn’t reward Sabbath.

instead, we worship work and celebrate busyness. We keep busy at all costs; ulti-mately believing we are what we produce.

But if the almighty need-ed a day off, isn’t it possible that we might too? Keeping Sabbath isn’t a mere sugges-tion for Jews and Christians, it’s one of the 10 command-ments. ironically, we (by we, i mean Christians; Jewish tradition continues to take the practice of Sabbath seri-ously) tend to ignore the one commandment that says we can “kick back, relax, and do nothing for the day.” doesn’t make any sense.

unfortunately, limiting our busyness does little to make us feel holy. While doing more makes us feel im-portant and needed. So we go

and go and go. it is difficult to do nothing.

the Christian mystic, meister eckhart, offers wis-dom to our hurried age, “God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a pro-cess of subtraction.” Sabbath teaches and frees us to sub-tract — for at least one day in every seven — the busyness that clutters our lives.

Sabbath invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and open ourselves to the cre-ator who longs to renew us. after all, the Sabbath isn’t something we have to do. the Sabbath is something we get to do. as Jesus put it, “the Sabbath was made for humankind, and not human-kind for the Sabbath” (mark 2:27). Simply put, Sabbath is a gift.

the priest and writer, Bar-bara Brown taylor, recom-

mends we explore this gift of doing nothing, “test the premise that you are worth more than what you can produce — that even if you spent one whole day being good for nothing you would still be precious in God’s sight — and when you get anxious because you are con-vinced that this is not really true, remember that your own conviction is not required. this is a commandment! Your worth has already been established, even when you are not working.”

So . . . take a nap, go on a hike, read a book, lounge on the couch (or by a shade tree), listen to music (it’s almost always better live), share a meal with friends. in other words, do nothing and enjoy it. thus saith the Lord!

The gift of doing nothing •Doing nothing(continued from page 8)

(continued on page 9)

the hebrew Scriptures begin with a beautiful, poetic account of creation. for six days, God creates the cos-mos and after a long week’s work we are told, “God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good” (Genesis 1:31). God created a world filled with wonder and beauty, and God was pleased.

after six days of hard work, God kicks off his shoes, whistles a tune and sits for a spell. the scriptures record it this way, “So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it

God rested from all the work that he had done in creation” (Genesis 2:3).

the rythmns of work and rest are an essential part of our being. many of us un-derstand the importance of work, even finding meaning and purpose in our vocations, especially as it contributes to the common good. Yet, we have difficulty with this concept of rest — what the Jewish and Christian tradi-tions call Sabbath. our cul-ture doesn’t reward Sabbath.

instead, we worship work and celebrate busyness. We keep busy at all costs; ulti-mately believing we are what we produce.

But if the almighty need-ed a day off, isn’t it possible that we might too? Keeping Sabbath isn’t a mere sugges-tion for Jews and Christians, it’s one of the 10 command-ments. ironically, we (by we, i mean Christians; Jewish tradition continues to take the practice of Sabbath seri-ously) tend to ignore the one commandment that says we can “kick back, relax, and do nothing for the day.” doesn’t make any sense.

unfortunately, limiting our busyness does little to make us feel holy. While doing more makes us feel im-portant and needed. So we go

and go and go. it is difficult to do nothing.

the Christian mystic, meister eckhart, offers wis-dom to our hurried age, “God is not found in the soul by adding anything but by a pro-cess of subtraction.” Sabbath teaches and frees us to sub-tract — for at least one day in every seven — the busyness that clutters our lives.

Sabbath invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and open ourselves to the cre-ator who longs to renew us. after all, the Sabbath isn’t something we have to do. the Sabbath is something we get to do. as Jesus put it, “the Sabbath was made for humankind, and not human-kind for the Sabbath” (mark 2:27). Simply put, Sabbath is a gift.

the priest and writer, Bar-bara Brown taylor, recom-

mends we explore this gift of doing nothing, “test the premise that you are worth more than what you can produce — that even if you spent one whole day being good for nothing you would still be precious in God’s sight — and when you get anxious because you are con-vinced that this is not really true, remember that your own conviction is not required. this is a commandment! Your worth has already been established, even when you are not working.”

So . . . take a nap, go on a hike, read a book, lounge on the couch (or by a shade tree), listen to music (it’s almost always better live), share a meal with friends. in other words, do nothing and enjoy it. thus saith the Lord!

- The ReverendJeff C. Harris

Good defense, strong pitching and timely hitting propelled Polk County’s varsity baseball team to a 10-1 thrashing over visiting Owen, clinching the number one AA seed for the Wolverines in the upcoming playoffs.

Coach Ty Stott was especially pleased with “the timely hitting,” which has sometimes eluded his batters.

Polk lifted its overall mark 12-7 overall, and its conference re-cord to 10-1. Starting pitcher Alec Philpott was mostly dominant, and also lined two hits in the win.

Polk took a 1-0 lead in the home first. With one down, Phil-pott blasted a single off the first-baseman. Dylan Turner singled to center, bringing up third baseman Wes Brady, who singled home Philpott.

In the home second, Polk opened it up. Trevor Arrowood led off with a line single to right center, but was forced at second on Mark Mazilli’s fielder’s choice grounder. Mazilli strayed just a bit too far from first, and was picked off. However, J.C. Suddeth and Jordan Brown both walked. Phil-pott laced a fastball into deep left center for a two-run double, and scored on Turner’s hard single to left, making it 4-0.

Philpott mowed down the visi-tors one-two-three in both the third and fourth. In the home fourth, the Wolverines made it 5-0. With two down, Brown was hit by a pitch, and Philpott walked. Turner fol-lowed with his second single, a bullet to left that scored Brown.

Owen got on the board in the top of the fifth, but did no more.

Philpott hit the leadoff hitter on the arm. The next batter rifled a ball just inside third, but Brady made a sensational diving stop. That was all he could do, as his throw to first, from a reclining position, was late. A fielder’s choice groundout at second put runners at first and third, setting up Owen’s only run, on a sacrifice fly.

After that, it was all Wolver-ines. In the home fifth, leadoff hit-ter Bryce Martin greeted Owen’s reliever with a hard single to right. One out later, Arrowood’s second single made it first and third. Mazilli was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Suddeth then patiently took a walk to score run number six, and Brown’s sacrifice fly to right made it 7-1.

In Owen’s sixth, a single and

a hit batsman brought Daniel Painter in to relieve for Philpott, with one out. A fly out (with the runner advancing harmlessly from second to third) and a strikeout on a held foul tip got Polk out of the inning.

Polk struck again in the home sixth. With one down, Brady belted one high and deep to left center. A few hours earlier with sunshine and lighter air, it prob-ably would have left the park, but it banged off the fence. Brady, who might have expected those extra few feet, coasted into second with a double. Nothing was lost, as Martin’s sacrifice fly put Brady on third. Pinch-hitter Konnner Scruggs lined a single to left, scoring Brady, to make it 8-1. Painter reached base on a bad-hop

grounder past the shortstop, to put runners on first and second. Tyler Tomberlin pinch ran for Painter. Mazilli’s single drove home Scruggs, and Tomberlin also scored, after a bobble by Owen.

That ended the scoring at 10-1, as Turner closed it out for Polk in the top of the seventh.

Referring to Brady’s stellar play at third, Stott noted, “He’s been solid all year. Our defense has been solid all year. So has the pitching. We hadn’t been scoring,” added Stott. “It was good to get some runs on the board, to give the pitching and defense a little rest.”

Stott was also pleased with his players’ attitudes.

“They (Owen) had some op-portunities early, but we stopped them. That was huge,” Stott said.

Polk baseball team crushes Owen to earn top playoff seed


Wolverine softball team suffers tough loss to Owenby Mark Schmerling

The Lady Wolverines dropped a 6-5 nail-biter to visiting Owen Tuesday, April 30.

“It came down to a play or two, (that could have gone) either way,” said Polk County’s varsity softball coach Jeff Wilson.

After the loss PCHS is 16-5 overall, and 9-5 in conference play.

Katie Ruff pitched her usual focused game, with most Owen batters swinging a bit late on her fastball. Ruff got some fine defen-sive support and some good hitting, but as Wilson mentioned, a couple of plays, and a questionable ball/strike call, shifted the results just enough for a scrappy Owen team to take advantage.

The Wolverines came to bat in the home first with no score, but wasted little time jumping ahead. Leadoff batter Brittany Jones was hit by a pitch. She was erased at second on a fielder’s choice grounder by Hayley Kropp. But Shalyn Brown belted a double to left center, scor-ing Kropp. Cassie Couch struck out swinging, but Maddy Foy blooped a single behind third, to score Brown.

Owen fought back in the top of the second. The first batter drew a walk. A hard single just inside the third base bag made it first and second, but the next batter grounded into a force at third for the first out. Owen’s next batter drove a single to right center, scoring a run, but Polk’s alert defense wiped out the previous runner, who rounded second too far. A grounder and force at second kept the Wolverines ahead, 2-1, going into the home second.

Polk went down quickly in their half of the second, but Owen tied the game in the top of the third, on a sacrifice fly.

Owen took a 3-2 lead in the visi-tors’ fourth, when the leadoff batter timed one of Ruff’s fastballs, and dropped it just over the fence in left for a solo homer. Ruff bore down, retiring the next three batters.

It looked like Polk’s game in the home fourth. Cassie Couch drew a leadoff walk. Savannah Ross was sent to pinch-run. Foy hit an innocent grounder to short, but a bad throw to second went far

into right center. Ross scampered home to tie the game, and Foy ran to third. Amber Lynch bunted her way on, putting runners at first and third with no outs. A bad throw to third brought Foy home, with Lynch advancing to third, and a 4-3 lead for Polk. With one down, Caitlin Davis was hit by a pitch, and stole second. Ruff then helped herself and the Wolverines, with a sacrifice fly that scored Lynch, for a 5-3 lead.

Owen capitalized on a dropped pop foul and a dropped liner in the outfield to set up a run on a bloop single, closing Polk’s lead to 5-4, going into the home fifth.

However, in the home fifth, Polk put two runners on, but could not score.

Owen turned the game around in the top of the sixth, in spite of some great fielding by Polk. A dropped throw at the plate and yet another bloop single, this one for two runs, put Owen ahead, 6-5, to end the day’s scoring. By contrast, Polk’s last out in the home sixth was a screamer off the bat of Couch, caught at the mound.

In spite of the disappointing loss, “It was an excellent ball game,” said Wilson afterward. “I’m very proud of the way they played.” He emphasized what Wolverine fans al-ready know: “Anyone who watched

knows they’re a really good team. We gave everything we had . . . Katie pitched a really good game.”

Polk’s next home game is next Monday at 4 p.m., against Swain County.

Beth Perkins proudly repre-sented Tryon, as she competed last weekend at the 2013 Rolex Three-Day Event, in Lexington, Ky.

Rolex Kentucky is the only four-star equestrian event in the western hemisphere and the highest level of competition, equal only to the Olympics. The Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) indicates the level of difficulty through the use of four asterisks (CCI****) and during this year’s event, every star lived up to its reputation.

Perkins did well during the cross-country phase as the condi-tions were fair and the obstacles challenging, with only half of the field of competitors actually finishing. Perkins and her 15-year old (17.1 h.) gelding-thoroughbred Sal Dali, spent the week at Rolex, which ran from April 25-28.

“This year was easier for me and much more fun than last year,” Perkins said. “I most especially

want to thank my entire support group including Tryon House, and the many people who are behind me from Tryon, it makes all of the difference in the world. I’m just a small operation, so it means a lot to me to proudly display Morris the Horse on my saddle bag and blankets.”

Morris the Horse is Tryon’s beloved landmark, a shy little horse standing on the corner of Trade and Pacolet Streets.

Out of all of the events at Rolex this year, Perkins felt she did her best in the show-jumping compe-tition. Perkins relies on Sal Dali, a Dark Bay, off-the-track thorough-bred, who began jumping at the age of 7.

Last December, Perkins broke her arm, and last fall, Sal Dali suf-fered a strained front leg. However this year, both horse and rider felt perfect, according to Perkins.

Dressage was a bit more chal-lenging for Sal Dali, who Perkins

said suffers from a noticeable amount of stage fright and tends to rush through the intensely scru-tinized movements, which include the walk and rein back (stepping back five steps). In dressage, both horse and rider must become one

like the number of spectators, applause, loudspeakers and the enclosed environment of the arena itself,” said Perkins, referring to her horse.

In cross-country, however, the game changes and those same distractions actually work to their benefit.

“I think that Sal believes that he’s actually galloping at the Ken-tucky Derby, and he gives it every-thing he has,” Perkins explained.

With Rolex being a four-star event, the environment is notice-ably different than other horse shows, with a comfortable feeling of competitive camaraderie.

“The riders at Rolex are so supportive, and it’s so exciting to have the chance talk to some of the greatest riders in the world,” said Perkins.

Perkins, who has been riding horses her entire life, was a stand-out at an early age with the United States Equestrian Team in the early 1970s. Perkins has evented internationally and is well aware of the cost of the competition and the amount of stress it places on her horse, which is not fond of long distance travel. For this reason, living and training near Tryon and traveling a relatively short distance to Lexington, makes Rolex Ken-tucky much more realistic.

“I love being close to my trainer, vets and supporters, all of which make Tryon and Rutherfordton a

great place to live,” Perkins said. “The hills and valleys are so com-fortable and I just love the benefits I receive from equine hydro/aquatred therapy (an equine rehab facility).”

Preparing for a high level event like Rolex requires a massive amount of training and dedication, and while Perkins admittedly did well this year, she believes there is always room for improvement.

“I have a lot of homework to do in order to compete next year,” Perkins said. “I have to work on my jumping, overall speed, and I need to find a better bit (a piece of horse tack), one that provides a more balance for the horse. I have to improve every aspect of my cross-country technique, most especially my overall speed.”

Perkins is happy to be home from Kentucky.

“Sal always loses a little weight after these events, because he simply doesn’t feel like eating that much,” Perkins said.

Being home in Tryon will be the best place for both horse and rider to recharge and train for next year’s competition.

The Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event is one of four competitions that occur annually, which include Rolex Kentucky, Adelaide in Aus-tralia, Badminton and Burghley in England. For more information about Perkins, visit: www.bethper-kinseventing.com.

Call: 828-859-9151Congregational Church’s Women’s Fellowship commemorates 100 years

The Women’s Fellowship of the Tryon United Church of Christ (Congregational Church) is celebrating the 100th anniver-sary of organization on Sunday, May 5, with a special service and dinner.

One hundred years ago, in 1913, the Women’s Society of the Erskine Memorial Church of Tryon was officially established with the election of Anna Mis-sildine as their first president.

The original mission state-ment of the group was (1) to enlist all of the women of the church in a fellowship of wor-ship and service and (2) to pro-mote missionary, welfare and social work in the church and community.

Eventually, the Women’s Society was reorganized as the Women’s Fellowship of the Congregational Church and con-tinued to carry on with numerous projects. They have sponsored missionaries to 10 foreign coun-tries, sponsored orphans and migrant worker camps, and the coal miners children’s fund, New Orleans Mission trips, and church youth scholarships.

Locally, they have supported Thermal Belt Outreach, Steps to HOPE, Hospice, Habitat, and Church Youth Mission trips. They have also supported Church Women United, South-ern Women’s Conference, and delegates and the World Friend-ship Council. They have pro-

vided books for local elementary schools, the PTA lunch programs for children, helped the sick and infirm in the church and at St. Luke’s Hospital, and have sponsored Girl and Boy Scout Troops.

The community will know the Women’s Fellowship best by sponsoring luncheons and timely speakers several times a year and the Autumn Harvest Sale, which funded many of these programs.

They will celebrate the day with a special Women’s Chorus at service and a speaker from Asheville, Reverend Chrystal Cook, who is a Bible professor from AB Tech.
