Facelift for Tryon ElementaryShy’Quan Wingo shovels fertilizer out of a bucket to place in a garden hole in which an oak leaf hydrangea will be planted. Wingo and his fellow students worked with parents and community volunteers to spruce up the bank outside of Tryon Elementary on Wednesday, June 6. Organizing parent April Kelley said numerous businesses donated plants, a landscape design, additional materials and more. Kelley said the project would be completed in several phases as part of Principal Ott Sizemore’s five-year plan to beautify the campus. See page 5 for more photos. Photos of the completed project and a list of contributing businesses will be included at a later date. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

Ted Owens and Tom Pack were against the increase. Owens and Pack said they wanted the county to take money out of its budget to pay for the extra revenue rather than approve a tax increase.

The Mill Spring Fire Depart-ment also requested a one-cent increase and the Polk County Rescue Squad requested to be given 1/4 of a penny instead of its current 1/3 of a penny distribution, but Gasperson, McDermott and Walker said they are not in favor of granting those requests at this time.

The Columbus Fire Depart-ment plans to use the extra tax revenue to hire three full-time employees to staff the depart-ment 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

McDermott said she favored granting Columbus its request because the department has done an audit every year so taxpay-ers know how the department spends its money.

“They all made good presen-tations,” McDermott said, “but Columbus has had an annual au-dit forever. I think it’s important whenever you’re asking taxpay-ers to give additional funding there be audits so taxpayers can be assured the money is being spent properly.”

She added she in no way believes the departments not receiving audits are not spending their money properly. She said she simply feels annual audits are needed, especially when ask-ing for additional funding.

Owens and Pack said they were in favor of granting all the departments’ requests, but want-ed to do so by taking the money from the county’s general fund.

“I believe the county should not further burden the taxpay-ers of Polk County as we have ample revenue to cover the request of all three departments without having to increase any-one’s taxes,” said Pack.

Pack recommended Monday that the county use fund bal-ance to pay for capital outlay next year and fund the three department’s requests from the general fund.

Pack said in the last six years the county’s revenues have ex-ceeded the initially approved budget expenditures by approxi-mately $9,500,000, with com-missioners amending the budgets to spend all the excess revenue plus an additional $2,000,000 from the county’s savings during that same time period.

“It is a matter of priorities, not a lack of revenue,” said Pack. “I believe we can make the special appropriations for several years before we need to consider rais-ing anyone’s taxes. The total to fund the request of all three de-partments is around $115,000.”

Pack also said that although the Mill Spring Fire Department had not had an audit since 2006, the county’s contract with the Mill Spring Fire Department states the county is responsible for the audit.

McDermott said she dis-agrees with Owens’ and Pack’s suggestion of being able to pay for the requests out of the county’s budget. She said the county has many expensive capi-tal projects in its future.

She said each fire district is its own taxing district and that’s a big hint that the state wants them to be self-sufficient.

“It’s not right to ask taxpayers in Tryon, Green Creek, Sunny View or Saluda to pay for the funding needs of Mill Spring or Columbus,” McDermott said. “They need to be funded out of their own district.”

If commissioners officially approve the request, the Colum-bus fire tax will increase from four cents per $100 of property valuation to five cents per $100 of valuation.

Commissioners will hold a special public hearing on Monday, June 11 at 7 p.m. to hear comments on the budget and plan to adopt the new budget during a regular meet-ing scheduled for Monday, June 18. The new budget year begins July 1.

WNC Hunter Schooling Circuit comes to Long ShadowsThe Western North Carolina

(WNC) Hunter Schooling Circuit will host a show on June 9 at Long Shadows farm in Campobello.

The WNC hunter schooling circuit offers a quality showing opportunity for children begin-ning their first cross rails classes through adult specialty classes and more advanced riders. The circuit gives out rosettes for first through sixth place along with champion and reserve champion prizes for each division. All judges are paid and highly qualified. The circuit goes to seven different venues, with a year-end banquet awarding high point awards and specialty awards such as most improved.

On June 9 the WNC Hunter Schooling Circuit will make its third stop on the schedule at Long Shadows Farm in Campobello. Long Shadows Farm, owned and operated by Michael Atkins, offers full boarding, hay sales and a cross-country course for schooling. Matthew Lawson of

Knoxville, Tenn. will judge. Law-son owns and operates Adamo Equestrian LLC and is a graduate of the St. Andrews University Equestrian team. He has been a regular competitor and trainer in the highest levels of hunter/jumpers.

The idea behind the schooling circuit was to originally provide not only an opportunity to show, but also to work as a cooperative with local farms, venues and camps, to help generate busi-ness and equine awareness in the community. The circuit is directed by Denise Blanken-ship, who spent three years at St. Andrews University in the equestrian program and has throughout the years worked and been involved in various eques-trian activities and organizations.

Serving all of

Polk County!

Sometimes we just need a kindly guide to set us on the right path – or we need to of-fer that aid to someone who is walking the wrong way.

I am a very soft touch for anyone who is obviously in need and I will often give a ride to hitchhikers (yes, I know it is not always a good idea). As a result, I have encountered many unique individuals and heard some very interesting stories over the years. I have also had the opportunity to make a positive impact on several of their lives.

This past week I was on the road a lot, which is of-ten the case for a full-time pastor, and coming home from Hendersonville on I-26 East I saw a young couple with backpacks thumbing

for a ride. Since they fit my general criteria for a safe pick-up – young, backpacks, fairly clean looking, smiles – I stopped and offered them a ride to Landrum.

They seemed very happy to catch a lift and climbed into the car trailing that typical “sorry, we’ve been on the road all day” summer fragrance. We shook hands, exchanged names – theirs were Mike and Chris – and I set off down the road asking the usual questions:

“Where you coming from?”

“Asheville.” “What time did you set

out?” “About noon.” “Where are you headed?” “New York.”

Ding! Ding! Ding! All my alarms went off and the flags started flying.

“New York, huh? Why this route?”

“We need to go east. New York is east. This road goes east, right?”

(Interject here a heartfelt sigh for wayward young-uns.)

The long and the short of it was that they had set out in the wrong direction from the git-go and between Ashe-ville and Hendersonville had caught three rides where none of the drivers had offered to correct their error in direction. We stopped near Saluda and went over their sorry excuse for a map and then plotted a course for them from Lan-drum to I-85 North through

Willing helper to guide the way • Helper(continued from page 8)


Charlotte and beyond. They were quite chagrined at their mistake, but very grateful for someone who cared enough to stop and redirect them on their way.

How often is that the way of things? We cross paths with a multitude of people on a daily basis and some are obviously in dire need of a friend and guide; someone who will simply and sym-pathetically offer a word of friendly encouragement and redirection. Most of us do not want to be intrusive and would rather mind our own business, and generally our personal interactions with strangers require just that. However, every once in a while there will come a time when we can have a genuinely positive impact on someone’s life with a slight

nudge in the right direction. All it takes is a little kind-ness, a listening ear and the courage to say, “Have you thought about…”

Mike and Chris are well on their way to the Big Apple now, but in the right direction simply because a willing helper (in my case someone old enough to be their grand-father) was disposed to point out a better way to follow. I just hope they learn some geography or get a better map to guide them the rest of the way.

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.

Sometimes we just need a kindly guide to set us on the right path – or we need to of-fer that aid to someone who is walking the wrong way.

I am a very soft touch for anyone who is obviously in need and I will often give a ride to hitchhikers (yes, I know it is not always a good idea). As a result, I have encountered many unique individuals and heard some very interesting stories over the years. I have also had the opportunity to make a positive impact on several of their lives.

This past week I was on the road a lot, which is of-ten the case for a full-time pastor, and coming home from Hendersonville on I-26 East I saw a young couple with backpacks thumbing

for a ride. Since they fit my general criteria for a safe pick-up – young, backpacks, fairly clean looking, smiles – I stopped and offered them a ride to Landrum.

They seemed very happy to catch a lift and climbed into the car trailing that typical “sorry, we’ve been on the road all day” summer fragrance. We shook hands, exchanged names – theirs were Mike and Chris – and I set off down the road asking the usual questions:

“Where you coming from?”

“Asheville.” “What time did you set

out?” “About noon.” “Where are you headed?” “New York.”

Ding! Ding! Ding! All my alarms went off and the flags started flying.

“New York, huh? Why this route?”

“We need to go east. New York is east. This road goes east, right?”

(Interject here a heartfelt sigh for wayward young-uns.)

The long and the short of it was that they had set out in the wrong direction from the git-go and between Ashe-ville and Hendersonville had caught three rides where none of the drivers had offered to correct their error in direction. We stopped near Saluda and went over their sorry excuse for a map and then plotted a course for them from Lan-drum to I-85 North through

Willing helper to guide the way • Helper(continued from page 8)


Charlotte and beyond. They were quite chagrined at their mistake, but very grateful for someone who cared enough to stop and redirect them on their way.

How often is that the way of things? We cross paths with a multitude of people on a daily basis and some are obviously in dire need of a friend and guide; someone who will simply and sym-pathetically offer a word of friendly encouragement and redirection. Most of us do not want to be intrusive and would rather mind our own business, and generally our personal interactions with strangers require just that. However, every once in a while there will come a time when we can have a genuinely positive impact on someone’s life with a slight

nudge in the right direction. All it takes is a little kind-ness, a listening ear and the courage to say, “Have you thought about…”

Mike and Chris are well on their way to the Big Apple now, but in the right direction simply because a willing helper (in my case someone old enough to be their grand-father) was disposed to point out a better way to follow. I just hope they learn some geography or get a better map to guide them the rest of the way.

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

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.

Poppy Dayhonors veterans

To the editor:The people of Tryon showed

so much generosity on Poppy Day.

All the money collected goes to veterans – the VA hospital in Asheville, the Wounded War-rior project, the Help Hospital-ized Vets and, of course, local veterans.

It does distress me that there are too many people who have no interest in giving to veterans – the men and women who have made many sacrifices for them and our country, even giving their lives.

Poppy Day is always the Fri-day before Memorial Day. We, also appreciate the businesses who allow us to distribute the the poppies by their buildings.

– Jane Janke, AmericanLegion Auxiliary 250

Letter to the EditorAn appreciation and recog-

nition service will be held for David Staley on Sunday, June 10 at 4 p.m. at the Zion Grove A.M.E. Zion Church.

He is the event planner for the Unity in the Community organization and works closely with the Polk County Community Foundation to obtain grants and funding for many activities and events held in Polk County and surrounding areas, such as Saturday Night Live (youth activities), Praising in the Park, Senior Citizen and the Needy Christmas Social and Healthy Polk County (exercise and healthy living program), just to name a few.

Staley is an active member of the Zion Grove A.M.E. Zion Church, serves on the trustee board and is involved in many other activities there as well.

Terry Bellamy, the mayor of

Asheville, N.C., will be the key-note speaker. Other participants will be The Sisters in Christ of Spindale, N.C. and soloist India Godlock of Rutherfordton, N.C.

Jim Wiprut, H.I.S.

Can you imagine the joy of discovering that some long-standing discomforts and even diseases can be reversed by choices made in the supermarket? Anyone interested in rediscover-ing home remedies that were common knowledge less than 50 years ago have a chance to do so today.

June Ellen Bradley will host a workshop on Thursday, June 7 from 6-8 p.m. at the Mill Spring Ag center that will cover all of the ideas in this article and more.

Cascade Anderson-Geller from Portland, Ore., will lead the workshop and will bring an abundance of items from the produce aisle for sampling, and show and tell. Attendees will also be given time for questions after the presentation.

Hippocrates, the acclaimed founder of modern medicine centuries ago said: “Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.” That wisdom holds

true today. In the Bible, there are many references such as Ezekiel 47:12, which tell us of the healing properties of trees and fruit. We all have a general sense that fruits and vegetables are good for us, however, there is infinitely much more detail we can add to enrich this knowledge. You can be an agent of your own healing by shopping smart.

Plants abound in the produce aisle. We think of them as food, they also have properties that are healing to specific areas of the body. By choosing certain vegetables, you can match what you need support with by understanding the prop-erties of color, taste and vitality. The colors of various vegetables give you a hint what compounds are found in them. Taste will also tell you what compounds are found in a plant/vegetable …

bitter means it will stimulate the liver, for example. The vitality of the plant will depend upon where and how it was grown, the quality of the soil it was grown in and the amendments used to produce a market product.

We can learn the meanings of color and what compounds to ex-pect in plants of certain colors. A

good start is the color orange. Orange is a clue that the plant has carotenes. An example is beta-carotene, an anti-oxidant

critical for healthy skin, found in the carrot. Two carrots provide about 4,050 retinol equivalents – roughly four times the RDA for vitamin A, however, unlike vitamin A, the beta carotenes in carrots do not cause toxicity.

Say you are having troubles with your kidneys. Symptoms would include changing eyesight,

itchy ears, skin problems and general irritability. What could you include in your diet to help? Most people know that cranberry juice is good. So are celery, pars-ley, ginger and asparagus. Eating these foods and drinking pure fresh water will go a long way to improving your overall health. Remember, the body is naturally self-healing … we simply need to provide the right nourishment to allow the healing to take place.

Diet plays a critical role in giving your body what it needs to restore function. There is a good film out on dvd called “forks over knives” detailing several case studies and educating folks that surgery (knives) can be avoided by changing what you eat (forks). It also explains what is in the foods we eat and in drinks too.

Resources for help with loss and grief

The 2012 Tryon Summer Clas-sic Horse Show took place May 31 - June 3 at the Foothills Eques-trian Nature Center (FENCE).

This year’s show again ben-efited the Tryon Hounds. It fea-tured a $2,500 USHJA National Derby on Friday evening, won by Karen Kelley of Charleston, S.C. and horse Uncle Luc, owned by Laura and Meredith Mateo. It also included a $10,000 Jumper Classic on Saturday, won by Brian Gjetley of Aiken, S.C. and his Piks Pistelero. Lucky One, owned by local Vick Russell and Lilly Hahn Rosichan, took fourth.

Fundraising efforts for be-loved braider Linda Tinkler of Tryon brought in more than $3,000 during the weekend. This amount included Laura and Mer-edith Mateo’s generous donation of their winning prize money from the USHJA National Hunter Derby.

Sunday included the awarding of the Hoffman Van Wieren tro-

phy for Grand Champion Hunter, which went to D’Artagnan - owned by Ashley Hodges and ridden by Don Sheehan.

The competition continues this week at FENCE with the Tryon

I want to thank all you won-derful folks who came out for the Adopt-a-Thon over the last two weeks.

Everyone really appreciated your support and we hope you liked the look of the newly remod-eled shelter, and especially the gorgeous photo of Yours Truly, taken by a terrific photographer, my friend Shelley Dayton.

W e a r e smack in the middle of pup-py and kitten season; some days I think it is raining kittens. Lately folks have been bringing too-young-to-be-separated-from-mom kittens into the shelter, say-ing they haven’t seen the mom around. Many cat mothers are shy of humans when they have kittens and will stay away if they know a human is watching. We beg you, please, to leave the kittens with mom until they are 8 weeks old. The law does not allow kittens under eight weeks to stay in the shelter, and therefore they must be fostered.

The kittens have much better outcomes if they stay with their moms for the full eight weeks. If you do keep them, please keep them in a safe area – a shed, garage, laundry room or spare bathroom.

I know, I know - I understand about keeping kittens around, believe me, there are days when my house is awash with kittens.

Sigh, many of them are dehy-drated, which means they need to be hand-fed every few hours. Some are so young they must be hand-fed around the clock. Some of them are loud and demand-ing (and little is louder than a demanding kitten) while others are so traumatized they are, sadly, silent.

Aside from the noise of hungry kittens, feed-ing time is my favorite time. The ones who are learning to eat on their own generally climb

into the food dish and lie in it as they eat. Needless to say, it is a real mess.

At our house, feeding time happens in the laundry room (easier to clean) and the kittens emerge from their meal covered in a mixture of baby food and goat’s milk, dripping all over the floor. If their mom is there, she handles the cleanup and in 30 minutes we have a pile of warm, dry, sleepy kittens. Staying warm is very im-portant for kittens, otherwise they can get sick, literally within hours.

Once the kittens are old enough and healthy enough, the shelter staff checks the kittens and, if ready, separates them from mom, gives them their kitten shots, and they are ready for adoption. Mom gets to rest for a week or so and then she is spayed. She usually is returned to her home, but this time there are no future kittens to

worry about. As you can see, while the very

special folks who are willing to foster kittens or kittens with moms make it look easy, it isn’t. We appreciate our kitten fosters more than we can say – and that comes from the bottom of my heart.

If you have moms with kittens, and they are outdoors (or have come from outdoors), we can help you trap the mom and keep her and the kittens together in one of our foster homes, or help you foster them yourself. We can sup-ply extra food for mom if needed, and at the end, we will get the kittens their shots and adopt them out, spay mom and return her to you, all free of charge. It is the deal of the century. So, instead of grabbing the kittens and leaving mom, call 828-863-4444 or 828-894-2088 and ask for Dana.

Big news: Back by popular demand are our shelter dog train-ing classes. Training classes are resuming at the shelter with Deb O’Donnell, one of our truly excel-lent trainers. Classes will be at different times to accommodate differing schedules.

We need volunteers to help train shelter dogs. This helps them get more socialized so they are adopted faster. It is hard to adopt out a dog that does not know how to behave, so this is a critical need. Please call the shelter at 828-863-4444 for more information or to sign up. Tell ‘em Champ sent you.

Woof, Champ.
