Residents honor U.S. constitutionby Samantha Hurst

Hands over hearts, about two dozen people stood outside the Polk County Courthouse Satur-day, Sept. 17, Constitution Day, pledging allegiance to the flag and singing the national anthem.

For the next 45 minutes, they listened intently as various people stood at a podium to read the United States Constitution.

“We owe our thanks and our blessings to our founding fathers who constructed this wonder-ful document for us,” said Polk County Republican Party Chair-man Debbie Arceneaux.

Census: Saluda population up by 100+by Samantha Hurst

Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden commended city employees for their hard work in 2010 to encourage residents to complete the 2010 U.S. Census.

At the Saluda Board of Com-missioners meeting Monday, Sept. 13, Baisden said the census reported 715 citizens in Saluda,

compared to about 575 citizens in the 2000 census.

Baisden said many people don’t realize the importance of the census count. He said captur-ing an accurate count means a lot to a city the size of Saluda.

“It means money to the city because you get your revenue back from the state based on what

your population is,” Baisden said. “We’ve lost, in the last 10 years, probably $100,000 in revenue or more.”

Saluda Finance Director Ron Cole said the push for a more complete census started under the leadership of former mayor

would cry through the reading as another woman did during last year’s event.

Arceneaux said she is so pas-sionate about the document be-cause it was created by people who were struggling through what she said very closely mirrors the country’s current situation.

“It is the people’s book, it is the people’s work,” Arceneaux said. “It

tells us that we are free; that we are the owners of this country.”

Constitution Day and Citizen-ship Day was established as a holiday in 2004 with the passing of an amend-ment to the Omnibus spending bill. Today it is celebrated specifically in schools receiving federal funds.

On this day people around the country join to read and study the U.S. Constitution. This is the second year a group has gathered outside the courthouse to read the docu-ment.

Schools across the nation are also required to take time each year to focus on the Constitution. But Ar-

ceneaux said its impossible to truly teach the document in a day. So, she and others hope to eventually offer enrichment classes for various age groups to bolster what they are learning about American history and the Constitution in particular.

“It’s very, very important to us. I think that the children need to have an understanding outside of what they learn in the classroom … about why our founding fathers wrote the constitution in the way that they did,” Arceneaux said.

“[The Constitution] is the people’s book, it is the people’s work. It tells us that we are free; that we are the owners of this country.”

Rodney Gibson. City employ-ees carried the effort by literally driving all over town.

Cole said the city enrolled in the precensus program, which allowed cities to submit an estimation of residents before census employees mailed in-formation to homes.

“In the 2000 census we were

really disappointed because we came in at around 575 and every-one thought it should have been much more than that,” Cole said. “The estimated population before the 2000 census was expected to be around 600 and something, so that’s why the governing body was so shocked.”

City clerk Doris Marion said she and others had a strong feel-ing the 2000 numbers were off.

“I moved into my home 12 years ago and I can count a num-

ber of new homes in my area alone,” Marion said. “I know there have to be at least 14.”

But just counting homes doesn’t give a true picture of the number of residents in Saluda, Marion said, because so many of the homes are vaca-tion homes. So city employees got to work to make sure the census got it right. They took several days to travel through the city filling in blanks of

house numbers that were not on the forms and added those to the 2000 census information, Cole said.

The city even publicized the coming census on water bills and at city commission meetings.

“We owe Ron [Cole] and Erny [Williams] and Doris [Marion] and all the people in

A total of 703 residents re-ported living in Polk County, while 12 live in Henderson County.

“We did fill out the precensus forms instead of having a simple

estimation,” Marion said. “We really tried to encourage them to understand that our population count would help – would help with the sales tax and with the budget. We only get a chance to do that every 10 years.”

Clueless in Tryon Little Theater’s ‘Clue: the Musical’?Colonel Mustard. Does appear to be clueless, or mentally ill, viewing people as inanimate objects (a condition called Nonidentifyitus, I believe). He has that air of superiority about him, believing himself to be an army colonel/big game hunter type. It’s been rumored that he’s implicated in the deaths of Mr. Boddy’s parents, and that he’s currently having an affair with Mr. Boddy’s wife! On reflection, quite a dangerous character, don’t you think? Especially since he’s a mortgage loan officer in real life… To find out if Colonel Mustard is implicated in any way (he does have access to guns), you’re going to have to see “Clue: the Musical” at the Tryon Little Theater’s Workshop stage, located at 516 S.

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.

by Daniel Hecht

Roaring back from their first loss of the season at Landrum, Polk County looked every bit the part of reigning Western High-lands Conference champions Friday evening.

The Wolverines cruised to vic-tory over visiting Madison at the Little Big House Sept. 16. In the final analysis, the Patriots, despite coming into the contest unbeaten with a school best-ever mark of 3-0, were ultimately no match for the powerhouse Wolverines on either side of the ball.

“It’s huge to get that first con-ference win, particularly since we played teams on consecutive weeks that were undefeated,” said head coach Bruce Ollis following his team’s decisive victory. “We felt like that was a pretty good accomplishment on our end, and something we’re proud of.”

The Madison defense, led by linebacker Dustin Fender, entered the game having allowed no op-ponent more than 10 points, and for most of the first quarter, it ap-peared fans were in for a classic defense battle. However, with just under four minutes left in the first quarter, Cary Littlejohn punched it from the Madison 3 to give Polk the 6-0 advantage.

After a crucial stop by the Wol-verine defense on a big fourth-and-two turned the ball over to the Wolverines on downs, quar-terback Alec Philpott mounted an impressive drive that resulted in another Littlejohn plunge from three yards out, putting Polk up 13-0.

Polk added their third touch-down of the half as Littlejohn notched the hat trick, plunging in from five yards out with 2:38 left to send the Wolverines into the locker room up 19-0 at the intermission.

Any notions of a dramatic sec-ond half comeback for the Patriots were quickly extinguished as the Wolverines scored on their first two possessions of the second half. Polk’s first score came on an electrifying 85-yard pass from Philpott to Joel Booker. Follow-ing yet another dominating stand by the Polk defense, a blocked punt by Cary Littlejohn handed

the ball to the Wolverines deep in Patriot territory, and one play later Philpott plowed into the end zone, making it 32-0.

Despite two touchdowns pass-es late in the game by Madison quarterback Tyler Rogers that prevented the shutout, the con-test had, for all intents and pur-poses, long since been decided. Offensively, Philpott rushed for 33 yards and a touchdown, and was a perfect 6-6 through the air for 180 yards, including the backbreaking 85-yard touchdown bomb to Booker, who wound up with five catches for 153 yards on the night. Littlejohn

rushed 14 times for 45 yards and three touchdowns, givingPolk’s resident speed merchant nine touchdowns already on the young season.

Jay Sutton turned in an im-pressive showing, rushing for 27 yards on five carries and adding 27 more yards receiving. Defen-sively, Booker led all tacklers with 12, and the Wolverines wound up with 10 sacks on the night. With the win, the Wolverines im-prove to 4-1 on the season.

This Friday, the Wolverines are on the road, heading up to Yancey County to take on the Cougars of Mountain Heritage (2-2, 0-1).

Cardinals roll over Dixie 35-14by Joey Millwood

The Landrum football team rolled again on Friday night.

The Cardinals beat Dixie on the road 35-14 continuing their balanced offensive attack and remaining unbeaten.

Brandon Cannon threw for 155 yards and one touchdown and the Cardinals had 275 yards on the ground. Cannon ran for 128 yards and a touchdown. Cole McDowell ran for 112 yards and two touch-downs. Aaron Bryant ran for 35 yards and one touchdown. Bryant also caught a touchdown pass.

While the offense rolled on Friday, things started out slow.

Dixie held a 14-8 lead until the third quarter.

Landrum’s first touchdown was a Cannon pass to Bryant for 34 yards. Landrum finally jumped back on the board and tied the game up in the third quarter on a Cannon 10-yard run. And then the Cardinals erupted in the fourth quarter to pull away from the Hornets. Bryant ran for a 5-yard touchdown to get the run started.

McDowell added scores f r o m t w o y a r d s a n d 6 0 yards to c lose the door. Landrum (4-0) will now turn its focus to an undefeated Liberty this Friday night at 7:30 p.m. at home.

MMy theory on how Noah’s Ark animals were corralled

Noah’s ark is missing a key in-gredient in this epic biblical story. In fact, whoever is responsible for coming up with the story of a man named Noah who col-lected all the animals aboard an ark to escape impending doom probably was given the wrong information about the people involved.

Having a bunch of youngsters gather your animals is a must in any “animal recovery” project. Yes, Noah must have had some young whipper snappers trying to lead those animals on the ark; for entertainment’s sake if noth-ing else.

This is a working hypothesis of mine, so at this time there may be some flaws in the theory. I realize Noah’s ark was supposed to hold two of every animal in the world.

This theory I have strummed up is based on only three animals. Three because those are the

animals I witnessed first-hand. Any more than three and my hypothesis can get a little time-consuming. Let’s keep it simple.

This personal study of mine was done at the Green Creek Her-itage Festival. Several very nice farm animals were on hand. I love farm animals; and, of course, the smell of ma-nure.

These three animals in my study, running amok, is a sight to see.

There is little consideration for themselves, the little people who are taking care of them or any other people for that matter. It’s definitely all about them. They want what they want and there is nothing you can do to change that.

The three animals in question were baby goats, pigs and cows. The hands trying to guide them

were those of young Polk County 4H-ers, two of whom belonged to yours truly.

My son was in charge of goat number one, and my daughter had number two - Cookies ‘N Cream and Jenny, respectively. Neither of which answer to those

names, so why bother, I ask myself.

First came t h e y o u n g cows, or baby calves, as they

prefer to be called. These ani-mals seemed to be very easy to lead around the ring, compared to what was to come after them.

The calves moseyed around the ring in seemingly orderly fashion. Not at extreme ease, but easy enough that I think I may actually be able to walk a calf one day. Emphasis on “I think.”

Second came the pigs. If you’ve ever been walking,

strolling along, minding your own business and suddenly hear a blood-curdling scream come out of nowhere, and it sounds like it’s coming to eat you alive, you would only begin to know what us onlookers experienced with these “three little pigs.”

One of the three apparently had some anger and/or control issues and didn't like the fact that someone was trying to walk it around.

I really think I saw people's hair stand up on end when little pig came into the ring. I'll hand it to the young man who secured him – the pig finally heeled. I think the other two pigs actually talked some sense into him and all was well in piggy land again.

Last were the goats, and my own two kids leading them. The goats would rather lay down in the ring and practically be

dragged across the dirt than be walked around.

There was a distinct pattern: pull, kneel down, pull, stand up, pull, kneel down, and the cycle continued. Once again the children knew how to handle them. Even after my daughter was batted to the ground by Jenny, she popped back up and continued the routine.

Back to my hypothesis: kids

helping lead the animals into Noah’s ark. I fully believe that grownups would have thrown in the proverbial towel. I can hear what they would say.

“You want to run off? Go right ahead. The boat will be lighter with-out you in it anyway. Who’s next?”

Noah's ark would have been filled with every breed of man’s best friend (dogs), a few red ants (you can't ever get rid of those guys) and some fireflies (those are easy to catch).

That's why we need kids. They have the patience, the endurance, and the tenacity to just maybe pull off the biggest animal heist in world history. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
