Tryon questions some customers receiving free raw mountain waterby Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon is currently looking into a 1926 deed that has al-lowed some Country Club Road resi-dents to receive free mountain water for irrigation purposes.

Peter Markovic told Tryon Town Council on May 15 that his spigot from

the raw (untreated) mountain water source is no longer working since the town re-established the line.

Tryon now uses water from its for-mer mountain water source, as well as Lake Lanier water, to supply customers.

The town recently rehabilitated its water plant and re-established the line from the mountain water source, which had not been used to supply water for the town since 1989.

Markovic has an agreement for his property dat-ed August 1926 that he claimed states he has ac-cess to the water in exchange for the town running the pipe across his property.

Tryon attorney Bailey Nager said he disagrees with Markovic’s reading of the 1926 agreement. Nager said he does not believe the agreement gives property owners access to the water.

Nager also said the town con-tacted the health department to see if there are health concerns with anyone using raw water out of the pipe. The local health department suggested the town speak with the

N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), which told the town to issue boil notices to any users of the raw water. The notices were scheduled to be issued yesterday, May 24.

Nager said the state is concerned about anyone drinking raw water out of the line and said it would like to see all drawing of this raw water

shut down.“I’ve had ac-

cess to that water since I bought the property in 1995, as well as other individu-als,” Markovic

told council.Markovic said he has a well and

uses the water from the line only to irrigate his property.

He said since last year no water will come from the spigot because the town is now using the water and the flow is too fast for the water to build up in the pipe.

“I purchased this property spe-cifically because it had this other water,” Markovic said.

Council members expressed

concerns over property owners having free access to water and concerns about its safety.

“It’s hard for me to fathom the town saying it was going to give away free water,” said commis-sioner Roy Miller. “I don’t think it’s fair to our other citizens. That’s just my position on it.”

Miller also said there are health and liability concerns because the town is now using that water.

Markovic said the health issues were taken care of in the 1970s when the state prohibited use of raw water coming from the moun-tain for any use except irrigation.

Miller said his issue is there are 12 people who are not paying for that water.

“And in exchange for that pipe being laid on that property we get access to that water,” Markovic said.

Nager said his reading of the agreement is that the town did not make a promise that anyone could take that water, and certainly not for free. He said there is no wording saying anything about taking water.

Markovic said he and other

attorneys disagree with Nager’s interpretation of the agreement.

Commissioner Wim Woody asked whether Markovic has some legal right now to use the water since the property has used it for so long.

Nager said that wouldn’t be the case for use of water.

“We’re not giving away free water,” Miller said. “I’m not, anyway. For 15 years I’d say you [Markovic] enjoyed free water.”

Miller said if Tryon allowed this it would have to give every Tryon citizen the same privilege.

Council decided to request DENR send the town in writing its suggestion of whether the town can allow any use of raw water. Town officials said they will make a decision on Markovic’s request to fix the access following correspondence from the state.

Hogs & Kisses youngest competitors ever for BBQ festivalWhen the smoke rises over Har-

mon Field in Tryon on the weekend of June 8 and 9, a new record will be set at the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival.

Hogs & Kisses, the youngest team ever to compete here, will vie against the seasoned veterans. And team members Allison Herrmann and Madison Arrowood are serious about winning.

The two 14-year-olds competed for the first time and won big last October in the Future Legends of BBQ at Camp Mondamin near Flat Rock, N.C. On the way to the grand championship they took first in ribs and first in sauce. Their twice-baked potatoes took third place in competitors’ choice, and they placed third in the theme category.

Herrmann is the stepdaughter of Justin Hembree, pit master of Fast Eddie’s Fine Swine, and Arrowood is the daughter of Tryon Police

Chief Jeff Arrowood. Justin Hembree said when the

girls told him they wanted to enter the Tryon contest, he suggested they might compete in the chicken and ribs categories. But Madison, who knows the contest rules, im-mediately responded, “But if we just do that, we can’t win the grand championship!”

As a result of this determina-tion, they are en-tering all the re-quired categories – pork shoulder, pork ribs, chick-en and beef bris-ket. They are also cooking a whole hog, something only a few of the competing teams are equipped to do. The team also plans to enter the “Anything But” and the dessert contests on Friday. (“Anything But” refers to any entree that does not include meat from the four categories required for the grand championship).

Festival chairman Chuck Brit-ton said he was so pleased the girls were going to be part of the excite-ment at this year’s event that he invited them to participate further by taking one of the hourly slots at the cooking demo tent, where festivalgoers gather to get cooking tips from the experts.

“They obviously have some sound techniques, and we are happy to encourage them,” he said.

High praise for the young team

came from BBQ veteran Jim Tabb, who founded the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival 19 years ago.

“They did so well at that youth contest,” he said, “and I am so proud that they have enough nerve to tackle our competition. It is so good to see young people get in-volved in cooking – it’s something they can hang onto for a lifetime.”

When he learned the young cookers planned to enter the whole

hog event, Tabb said, “I am real-ly shocked that they would do that – shocked i n a p l e a s -ant way,” he quickly added. “I don’t know of a team that young ever tak-ing on such a challenge.”

Ta b b w a s present at the event last October when Allison and Madison first competed, along with Mike Mills, known as “The Legend” for his many BBQ championships. The event was licensed by the Kansas City Barbecue Society and judged by its rules.

The two dads will be part of the Hogs & Kisses team when their daughters compete at Tryon, but they insist they’ll just be in the background, as they were at the Future Legends event.

“All we do is stoke the fire and help cut the meat – the cook-ing is strictly left up to the girls,” Hembree said.

Serving all of

Polk County!

God is not somewhere “out there.” God is most certainly “in here.”

This coming Sunday, May 27, we will celebrate the Day of Pentecost throughout most of the western Christian world. Pentecost marks the 50th day after the celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday and commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon and into the Apostles in Jerusalem (Acts 2:1-21). Often called “the birthday of the Church,” the Day of Pentecost stands as the symbol of God’s everpresent and abundant love dwelling within and directing the gath-ered People of God.

This complete indwelling of the Holy Spirit was prom-ised by Jesus. In the Gospel of John, he says, “I have said

these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.” (John 14:25-26)

Jesus also told his apostles “Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12) Jesus’ promise is that through the power of the Holy Spirit the gathered people of God – the church – can work greater miracles of healing and reconciliation than even he did during his time on earth.

So, God is not “out there,”

God is “in here.”That concept may be chal-

lenging for many people who have believed in a wholly transcendent God whose primary characteristic is that of an aloof judge and execu-tioner of the wicked. How-ever, God the Father, whom Jesus called “abba” (meaning “pappa”) and whom John named as “agape” (absolute, unconditional, self-giving love) is immanent, person-ally present and available to anyone willing to be open to that presence. This indwell-ing presence of God – this Holy Spirit – empowers us to be the hands of God at work in the world.

That is an awesome bless-ing, but it also a tremendous responsibility.

Too often we see the Holy

Gift of God within us comeswith responsibility to change world

• Responsibility(continued from page 8)


Spirit as some kind of cosmic “sugar daddy” whom we can invoke and natter into bestowing a special grace or favor (my favorite example is the Janis Joplin song “Oh, Lord, Won’t You Buy Me a Mercedes Benz”), or whom we can expect to give us a holy, jubilatory “high” if we behave and think according to a certain set of standards.

However, the truth is much different. The indwell-ing Holy Spirit of God is also the full and complete pres-ence of the Creator Father and the Redeeming Son – the full presence of Almighty God – who abides in us to not only fill us with all good things but to empower us, we human beings, to heal the sick, rescue the weary, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted and bless the dying.

It is now our job as fol-

lowers of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit which resides in us, to be the love of God in the world. We were not given this grace to be passive receptors of holy bliss and eternal joy some-where “out there.” We have been given the gift of the active personal presence of God in each of us and in our churches in order to change the world into a place where the weak are not abused, the poor are not hungry, the sick are not left to suffer and die and where we respect the dignity of every human be-ing, just as Jesus did.

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.

A speCiAl thAnk You to All our sponsors!

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.

God is not somewhere “out there.” God is most certainly “in here.”

This coming Sunday, May 27, we will celebrate the Day of Pentecost throughout most of the western Christian world. Pentecost marks the 50th day after the celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday and commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon and into the Apostles in Jerusalem (Acts 2:1-21). Often called “the birthday of the Church,” the Day of Pentecost stands as the symbol of God’s everpresent and abundant love dwelling within and directing the gath-ered People of God.

This complete indwelling of the Holy Spirit was prom-ised by Jesus. In the Gospel of John, he says, “I have said

these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you.” (John 14:25-26)

Jesus also told his apostles “Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12) Jesus’ promise is that through the power of the Holy Spirit the gathered people of God – the church – can work greater miracles of healing and reconciliation than even he did during his time on earth.

So, God is not “out there,”

God is “in here.”That concept may be chal-

lenging for many people who have believed in a wholly transcendent God whose primary characteristic is that of an aloof judge and execu-tioner of the wicked. How-ever, God the Father, whom Jesus called “abba” (meaning “pappa”) and whom John named as “agape” (absolute, unconditional, self-giving love) is immanent, person-ally present and available to anyone willing to be open to that presence. This indwell-ing presence of God – this Holy Spirit – empowers us to be the hands of God at work in the world.

That is an awesome bless-ing, but it also a tremendous responsibility.

Too often we see the Holy

Gift of God within us comeswith responsibility to change world

• Responsibility(continued from page 8)


Spirit as some kind of cosmic “sugar daddy” whom we can invoke and natter into bestowing a special grace or favor (my favorite example is the Janis Joplin song “Oh, Lord, Won’t You Buy Me a Mercedes Benz”), or whom we can expect to give us a holy, jubilatory “high” if we behave and think according to a certain set of standards.

However, the truth is much different. The indwell-ing Holy Spirit of God is also the full and complete pres-ence of the Creator Father and the Redeeming Son – the full presence of Almighty God – who abides in us to not only fill us with all good things but to empower us, we human beings, to heal the sick, rescue the weary, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted and bless the dying.

It is now our job as fol-

lowers of Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit which resides in us, to be the love of God in the world. We were not given this grace to be passive receptors of holy bliss and eternal joy some-where “out there.” We have been given the gift of the active personal presence of God in each of us and in our churches in order to change the world into a place where the weak are not abused, the poor are not hungry, the sick are not left to suffer and die and where we respect the dignity of every human be-ing, just as Jesus did.

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.

Three theme-based exhibits open at the Upstairs Artspace this Friday, May 25. A public reception will be held Saturday, May 26, 5 to 8 p.m. A “Walk & Talk” tour of the art led by artists will precede the reception at 4 p.m.

“Mind Over Matter” explores evolution, space and consciousness in abstract paintings by Barbara Fisher of Asheville Ann Stoddard of Spartanburg, S.C. and Felicia van Bork of Charlotte. Each art-ist is well represented in major galleries and private collections around the country. Van Bork has an exhibit opening in June at the prestigious Jerald Melberg Gal-lery in Charlotte, while Fisher said she looks forward to a solo exhibit at the Hickory Museum of Art (Hickory, N.C.) in 2013. The three artists have exhibited at the Upstairs in years past.

“Funny Papers” is a group show of works on paper. Co-curator Ur-sula Gullow of Asheville explains the exhibit as “contemplating so-

cial malaise, political issues, philo-sophical angst and pop trends with a humorous edge.” Artistic styles run the gamut from comic book stylizations to contemporary ab-stractions and folk art portraits. The artists, all from Asheville, are Julie Armbruster, Andy Herod, Kreh Mellick, Michael Ohgren, Vic-tor Palomino, Nathanael Roney, Martha Skinner, Kirsten Stolle and Jessica White. Margaret Curtis, of Tryon, is also co-curator.

In “Parallel Play,” Jan and Jim Kransberger are said to breathe wit, elegance and novelty into figura-tive glass sculpture (Jan) and mixed media folk art (Jim). The Asheville couple became artists after they were well into retirement. Each has achieved phenomenal recognition and success — both regionally and nationwide. Currently, Jim is in the highly praised exhibit “Waking Up with Van Gogh” at the Hickory Museum, and he is also featured in the soon-to-be published book “Humor in Craft.”

Jan’s glass work is in Blue Spiral 1 in Asheville, RedSky Gallery in Charlotte, River Gal-lery in Chattanooga, and Prismo, Aspen and Vail. She is a member of Southern Highland Craft Guild and Piedmont Craftsmen.

On Tuesday, June 5, 7 p.m., “Funny Papers” artists and curators

will discuss social and political art in a free public program.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6 p.m., and Sunday, noon - 4 p.m. For more information, call 828-859-2828 or visit www.upstairsartspace.org.

St. Luke’s Hospital provides $1.9 million in community benefits in 2011Saving lives, restoring health

and providing jobs are just the be-ginning of hospitals’ contributions to their community. One of our fundamental values at St. Luke’s Hospital is our commitment to our community.

Each year, we are struck by how much the idea of helping our community is woven through St. Luke’s Hospital and its programs. We maintain this commitment both collectively as an organiza-tion and individually in our per-sonal contributions. We believe it is our duty and our obligation to support the health and well-being of all those we serve. From Relay for Life to PACWalk to individual health fairs, smoking cessation classes and educational seminars, St. Luke’s Hospital supports many community initiatives each year.

As a not-for-profit organiza-tion, it is our obligation and our commitment to use our tax-exempt status for the good of the community that supports us. The

American Hos-pital Association (AHA) and the North Carolina Hospital Asso-ciation (NCHA) have outlined how to attach a dollar amount on community benefits for each year, and we sub-mit a report to the state of North Carolina outlining those services we provide, which are considered community benefit programs.

In fiscal year 2011, St. Luke’s Hospital provided a value of $1.9 million in charity care and unre-imbursed costs, direct patient care services and community health improvement services. St. Luke’s largest amount of community ben-efit provided was $928,599 to bad debt, more than $380,000 went to charity care (care provided for free or at a substantial discount to those unable to pay). As all busi-nesses, St. Luke’s Hospital tries to collect money due for services, sometimes people just do not pay.

But we are also the safety net for our community, providing care for those who cannot pay.

When community residents are injured or sick, they turn to St. Luke’s Hospital — day and night, day in and day out — for medical care. As a community hospital, we have the responsibility to give back. An annual Community Benefits report also demonstrates how St. Luke’s Hospital goes above and beyond the mission to deliver essential health care services. St. Luke’s is working to keep residents healthier and to meet community needs.

Several examples of different community benefits provided by St. Luke’s Hospital include: HealthTalks with local physi-cians, Relay for Life sponsorship, hand washing stations at the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival, free balance screenings through the rehabilita-

Caring for our Community

by Ken Shull

tion department, and information and education through Healthcare Decisions Day. St. Luke’s also benefited the community through various health and education classes for the community, many health/information fairs for the community and various com-munity organization and event sponsorships. These services are often provided at no cost or at a re-duced rate, as they are essential to the well-being of the community and an integral part of nonprofit hospitals’ tax-exempt purpose.

Community Benefits contribu-tions are fundamental to our mis-sion and why we exist. Providing quality medical care through our everyday programs and services is a cornerstone of our enduring commitment to serve our local community. At St. Luke’s Hos-pital, we’re proud of the vital role we play in our community’s health as we continue to provide exceptional care, close to home.

Does traveling at speeds of 40 plus mph at heights of 200 ft. off the ground sound appealing or frightful? If appealing is your answer then a trip to Navitat Canopy Adventures needs to be in your future.

When I first heard of this I knew this was right up my alley. I actually love heights, and moun-tains, so combine the two with a little speed added in and you’ve got a fun day in the woods.

Zip lines, as the outdoor activ-ity is most commonly known by, is growing steadily in our area. It seems new ones are starting every year. The Navitat canopy adven-tures are the “bomb,” and rated as one of the best in the nation.

Zip lining is basically being suspended from a cable by a harness and traveling from tree to tree, or ridge top to ridge top via pulleys that are attached to your harness.

Safety is at a pre-mium. The cables my wife Amanda and I traveled on were rated to 14,000 pounds, and there are two of them on each run, so you are being held up by cables rated at 28,000 pounds. You have two safety harnesses, and at least one and most of the time both are attached to a safety line at all times. You also have two pulleys that are holding you up, a helmet, heavy gloves, and two very knowledgeable guides on

each trip. The Navitat trips are more

of an experience. You start out with a lengthy ride via ATV’s up a steep in-cline. There you start the first of 10 runs.

The course was thought out with great detail, involving plat-forms over 50 ft. tall

built in some giant hardwoods. There are short runs to get the feel of it all, fast runs to get a sense of speed. My favorite was a run of 1,100 ft. from one side of the gap to the other at a height of 200 ft. They also have two areas you rapell down from the platforms above, and two suspended sky

bridges. A lot of care was taken to be

minimally invasive to the land. They were very creative in using what trees had to be cut as part of the course.

The guides are very knowl-edgeable of the area’s greenery, history and knowledgeable at zip lining. The guides we had for the day were very courteous and made triple sure of safety at all times.

If a 6 ft. step ladder gives you the shakes, I’d probably find another way to spend the day. But if you can “tolerate” heights or enjoy them give Navitat a try. Navitat is located near Barnards-ville north of Asheville. For more info go to www.navitat.com

Polk County Middle School (PCMS) students Sarah Woods, Zane Johnson, Harrison Sloan and Annie Eargle work together to read “Home of the Brave,” a novel about a young boy who emigrated from Africa to the United States. Using grant funds from the Polk County Community Foundation, Miss Paterson’s language arts classes and Mrs. Gilbert’s social studies classes at PCMS were able to work on a collaborative unit about Africa. Mrs. Gilbert used a grant to purchase a class set of “Home of the Brave.” This novel tied in with Miss Patterson’s grant purchase of “14 Cows for America.” The students came together in social studies to make connections between the two books and about life in Africa, compared to life in America.
