Bright’s Creek won’t host 2012 BMW Pro-Am2011 tournament raised $652K for area charitiesby Barbara Tilly

When celebrities and golf pros assemble for the BMW Charity Pro-Am Golf Tournament in the spring of 2012, they will not

show up at Bright’s Creek Golf Club in Mill Spring.

After four years as one of the three host courses for the tour-nament, Bright’s Creek will no longer be taking part in the event.

Bright’s Creek CEO Frank Weed said the development, which was recently purchased by Alexander Salgado and Gabrielle

Barragan of Protex Investment Group Inc., needs to focus on its members and community.

“We loved our involvement with the BMW Charity Pro-Am tournament,” Weed said, “but with new owners and new plans for the future, we felt our time

Weed said the development may find a way to continue an association with the charitable aspect of the tournament.

“We like the BMW Pro-Am people and would like to re-main involved with the charity program,” he said.

According to officials of tournament organizer South Carolina Charities, Inc., Greenville Country Club’s Chanticleer course will replace Bright’s Creek as the third golf course for the 2012 tournament. The other two courses, Thorn-blade Club and The Carolina Country Club, will remain as hosts.

The 2012 tournament, pre-sented by SYNNEX Corpora-tion, will take place May 17-20, 2012.

“We’ve shared a great part-nership [with Bright’s Creek] over the past four years, and SCCI is very appreciative of the effort that the Bright’s Creek management and staff have put forth for our event,” said SCCI President Bob Nitto.

Tournament director Darin MacDonald said moving the tournament to Chanticleer offers many new opportu-nities for the event.

“It not only gives the ama-teurs and pros a n e w a n d challenging course to play, it brings the entire tourna-ment closer to our commu-nity,” said MacDonald.

The 2011 tournament raised $652,070 for 26 Upstate and Western North Carolina chari-ties, organizers announced recently. One of the charities was the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE) in Tryon.

The BMW Charity Pro-Am is the only tournament on the PGA Tour’s Nationwide Tour where amateurs and celebrities are grouped with nationwide tour professionals in a four-day, better-ball competition over three courses.

Amateurs, celebrities and pros rotate between three courses on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with the 14 lowest scoring pro-amateur/pro-celebrity teams advancing to play Sunday’s final round. Celebrities play once at each course on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The profes-sional winner of the overall 72-hole event takes home

$108,000 from the total purse of $600,000.

Amateurs and celebrities compete for individual prizes and cash donations to the char-ity of their choice out of the beneficiaries selected by South Carolina Charities, Inc.

Officials from South Caro-lina Charities, Inc. presented checks to representatives from the participating charities at the tournament’s annual check presentation, Communities for

Charity, held at Michelin on Main in down-town Green-ville.

A w a r d s w e r e a l s o presented to the 2011 vol-unteers of the year, as well as one for the Nat ionwide Tour ’s Vol-unteer of the We e k . T h e

2011 volunteers of the year were Tony Crescenzo (Thorn-blade Club), Bonnie Murray (The Carolina Country Club), Ben Cromer (Bright’s Creek Golf Club), Gary Anderson (Transportation Committee) and Jim Ryan (Nationwide Tour Volunteer of the Week).

Since 2001, the BMW Chari-ty Pro-Am has raised more than $8.6 million for 150+ Upstate South Carolina and Western North Carolina charities. The tournament is a leading charity event on the Nationwide Tour.

“It’s very rewarding to be able to give back to area charities and help those in our community that are in need,” said Nitto.

MColumbus accepts grant for new police officer, vehicleGovernor’s Highway Safety grant pays almost $80k first yearby Leah Justice

The Columbus Police Depart-ment should soon be at full staff thanks to a N.C. Governor’s Highway Safety grant, which will pay a substantial amount of costs for a new officer, vehicle and equipment the first year.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Aug. 18 and accepted the grant. The grant total for the first year is $79,695, with the town’s portion being $14,064.

The grant pays for 85 percent of costs for the officer and equip-ment the first year, 70 percent the second year and 50 percent the third year. The town contributes the full salary the fourth and final years. All costs for the vehicle are paid for through the grant, as well

as costs for equipping the vehicle and officer.

“Although the enforcement of motor vehicle laws in the Town of Columbus will be part of the officer’s duties, the Columbus Police Department will place an emphasis on public education through the traffic officer,” said Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield. “The officer will be available for educational events at local schools, churches, re-tirement communities and other civic organizations.”

Beddingfield said through the grant, his department hopes to reduce both the frequency and the severity of traffic collisions, increase occupant safety restraint usage (including seatbelts, child safety seats and motorcycle/moped helmets), decrease the number of impaired drivers and decrease speeding through town.

The traffic officer will hold and maintain certifications in

Standarized Field Sobriety Tests, Alcohol Screening Test Devices, Radio Detecting and Ranging (RADAR), Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), Traffic Crash Reconstruction, Child Protec-tion Seat and Drug Recognition Expert, as well as other certifica-tions, according to Beddingfield.

The officer will also be re-sponsible for investigating col-lisions, be on call for serious injury and/or fatality collisions, conduct educational events, orga-nize and coordinate multi-agency checkpoints, be involved with high school driver’s education and criminal justice courses and community outreach, Bedding-field said.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office was also recently awarded the same governor’s highway safety grant and will add a traffic enforcer sometime this fall. Co-lumbus, the sheriff’s office and the Tryon Police Department are

all involved with the governor’s highway safety program, which gives the agencies points to pur-chase equipment each year and makes them eligible for this type of officer grant.

Columbus, Tryon and the sheriff’s office conducted a joint checkpoint recently through the highway safety program, with Columbus seizing almost $160,000 in drug money through that checkpoint. A portion of that seizure money will come back to the departments involved.

Regular checkpoints through the program include Booze It, Lose it; Click it or Ticket and No Need 2 Speed.

Beddingfield said the traffic officer will be available to aid any local law enforcement agency that requests assistance and urges anyone to contact the Columbus Police Department at 828-894-5464 to schedule a traffic safety or crime prevention presentation.

Police Officers

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

A police officer is a person who maintains order and peace within society. Often referred to as Peace Officers, policemen, or policewomen, have many different duties. These duties include, but are not limited to, preventing crimes, regulating traffic and drivers, keeping public order, pro-tecting people and property, capturing criminals, and investigating crimes. Being a police officer is sometimes a dangerous profession, because they often have to put their personal safety on the line while keeping the general public safe from harm. Most officers in the United States are authorized to carry weapons and have specially enhanced police cars. Some officers patrol on horseback, by bicycle, or on foot. Many policemen are trained to handle police dogs, or K9 units; these animals are most often used to detect the presence of illegal drugs on suspects or their property. Other officers are trained to handle special situations, such as hostages, bomb threats, or keeping convicted criminals in prison. Public schools have a police officer assigned to them. This officer is known as the Student Resource Officer, or SRO. These SRO’s are always avail-able to help students with any problems they may be having and to be there as role models. All regular police officers are trained in the laws of the land. Police Officers take an oath to uphold and maintain the law and to not violate or interpret it themselves.

Polk triumphs over Tuscola in season opener

sports

by Daniel Hecht

It is a certainty, a basic truth – an indisputable fact that every coach, and every player, ac-cepts without question. There are simply no two ways about it – success on the football field is in direct proportion to the price a team is willing to pay up front in terms of preseason conditioning.

And so, for the young men of Polk County High School, the grueling regimen known as the summer strength and condi-tioning program began the day

after graduation, 10 long weeks ago. After several scrimmages, a half-dozen passing leagues, hundreds of sprints up and down the stadium bleachers, and thousands of reps in the weight room – game day had finally, blessedly, arrived.

Welcome to the start of the high school football season in North Carolina.

Friday evening, at the Little Big House in Columbus, the Wolverines crushed 3A power-house Tuscola 38-22.

“Anytime you line up and

win your first ballgame of the year against a pretty good Tuscola football team, you’ve got to feel pretty good about what you’ve done,” said Ollis. “We’re proud to be 3-0 against Tuscola – that’s a big accom-plishment.”

Polk’s victory over the Mountaineers, the team’s third in as many years, was far more lopsided than the final score would indicate. The Wolverines jumped in front early, as quar-terback Alec Philpott connected with Joel Booker for a 32-yard

scoring pass at the 9:17 mark in the first quarter, and Cary Little-john added a 2-yard touchdown run early in the second to put Polk ahead 12-0. Meanwhile, the Tuscola offense, led by All-Conference QB Rob Howard, was stymied time and again by the rock-solid Wolverines defense, and the teams headed into the intermission with Polk ahead by two scores.

Coming back onto the field for the second half, the Wolver-

ines picked up right where they left off, with Philpott scoring from 4 yards out, stretching the lead to 20 as Philpott hooked up with Booker for the two-point conversion. Less than three minutes later, Philpott once again connected with Booker for a 40-yard touchdown strike as the Wolverines jumped ahead 26-0.

Late in the third, the Tuscola offense briefly showed signs of life, as Howard connected with Weaver Kirkpatrick for an 8-yard scoring pass and the two-point conversion. However, less than a minute later, Philpott galloped 50 yards into the Tus-cola end zone for his second rushing touchdown to make it 32-8. Philpott added his third rushing TD early in the fourth, scoring from two yards out as Polk stretched their lead to 38-8.

With a 30-point lead and vic-tory all but certain, Polk head coach Bruce Ollis emptied his bench, giving every Wolverine player an opportunity to play.

“It was good for the young guys to get some experience

under the lights in a varsity football game,” said Ollis.

Though Tuscola would score twice in the fourth against Polk’s second unit, it was too little too late, and the contest ended with Polk in front by 16 points.

Following the game, Ollis had high praise for the per-formance of his rookie field general.

“Alec did an incredible job, his first game ever playing quarterback,” said Ollis, adding, “300 yards of offense – I’d say that’s a pretty good debut.”

Philpott finished the evening with 14 carries for 146 yards and three touchdowns, while going 8-15 through the air for another 148 yards and two touchdowns. For his part, the junior was quick to praise his teammates.

“Our offensive line did really well,” said Philpott, pointing out the improvement since the Border Showcase. “I had a lot of time back there, and when we ran our powers, the holes would just open up – our offensive line had a really good game.”

Other offensive standouts for the Wolverines included Booker (four receptions for 91 yards

and two TDs), Littlejohn (four catches for 44 yards, as well as 11 rushes for 115 yards and a touchdown) and Jay Sutton (four carries for 37 yards).

Though the Wolverine de-fense was, as expected, excel-lent overall, a bright spot was the play of freshman Damion Cantrell, who started the first game of his high school career at linebacker.

“We felt that Damion had come a long way in camp, his reads were good and he gets to the football, so we started him, which is very rare for a freshman.”

Ollis had high praise for the work of defensive coordinator Jamie Thompson in prepping Cantrell for his debut.

“Jamie did an incredible job of getting him ready,” Ollis said. “Damion is a very instinctive player – linebacker is a position where you’ve got to possess instincts to be a good player – and he pos-sesses that.”

Breaking down the team’s overall performance, Ollis was pleased but realistic.

“It was a typical first game – we did a lot of things well, and we did some things poorly.

We absolutely have to find a way to kick extra points. That is a glaring weakness right now, one that’s going to cost us a ballgame down the road unless we improve.”

Next week, the Wolverines travel to Brevard High School to take on the Blue Devils, who dropped their opener at Owen 27-7, a game in which longtime Warhorse coach Kenny Ford notched his 200th career victory.

Lt. Gen. George C. Axtell (USMC Ret.)

An American Hero(Nov. 29, 1920 - Aug. 20, 2011)

Lt. Gen. George C. Axtell (USMC Ret.), 90, of Tryon Es-tates, Columbus, passed away Sat-urday afternoon, Aug. 20, 2011 in the Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills, Landrum.

George was born on Nov. 29, 1920 in Ambridge, Pa. His par-ents were George Clifton Axtell and Cora Mae Perrine Axtell. He graduated from Ambridge High School and studied aeronautical engineering at the University of Alabama.

When it was evident that we were going to war he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps as a private and was sent to flight training. After earning his wings and being commissioned a second lieutenant, he became a flight instructor at the Pensacola Air Training Center. George was

Obituaries

later sent to the Naval Academy to study meteorology before being assigned as VMF 323’s squadron commander, a new squadron commissioned on Aug. 1, 1943. George, at 22 years and 8 months, was the youngest squadron com-mander in the Marine Corps.

On March 21, 1942, George married his childhood sweetheart, Phyllis Crafton, at the Naval Acad-emy Chapel. Phyllis followed him to Laguna Beach, Calif., until his squadron was sent to the South Pacific.

While in the South Pacific George’s squadron had great suc-

cess. The squadron had 124.5 kills, the highest in the Okinawa campaign, and resulted in 12 fighter aces, including George. For his extraordinary heroism while engaged in military operations, George was awarded the Navy Cross by the president on April 28, 1945. In 1999, a book about George and his squadron’s legacy, called “Death Rattlers,” was written and published by Dr. William Wolf.

George graduated from George Washington University with a law degree in 1952 and a master’s degree in financial management in 1958. He was admitted to the Supreme Court Bar in Washington, D.C. in 1956. He also graduated from the National War College at Ft. McNair in Washington, D.C. in 1964.

George was preceded in death by his wife, Phyllis, who died in September of 1975. He is survived by a large and loving family. Shir-ley Barnes Axtell, his wife of 34 years, resides at Tryon Estates in Columbus. His brother Bill and his wife, Dorothy, reside in Beaver, Pa. George and Phyllis’s sons, Lt. Col. Grey Axtell (USMC-Ret.) and Guy Axtell, gave George

Barbara Pierce ClementSept. 28, 1920 - Aug. 14, 2011

The Cathedral Village com-munity in Pennsylvania was saddened to learn of the passing of Barbara Pierce Clement early on the morning of Sunday, Aug. 14, the night of a full moon. She was encircled by loving family and slipped away very peace-fully in her room in Bishop White Lodge, surrounded by her favorite art, family pho-tographs and icons. Her room overlooked the greenhouse and resident gardens, which have been busy with birds, butterflies and gardeners, with a view of St. Mary’s Church in the distance.

Barbara grew up in Milton, Mass., and attended Milton Academy. Through the Experi-

Obituaries ment in International Living she traveled to Peru and also spent a summer in pre-war Germany. After graduating from Milton Academy, she studied art for a year in Florence, Italy, and then attended Harvard Architectural School for three years.

In 1943 she married Dr. Ste-phen M. Clement from Buffalo, N.Y., whom she met while he was attending Harvard Medical School. Barbara and Stephen lived in Buffalo for many years, raising their three children: Ste-phen, Tina and Margot. In ad-dition to being a loving mother and socially active homemaker, Barbara became very involved as a social services volunteer, reaching out to underprivileged populations, most especially women’s programs.

After practicing psychia-try for many years, Barbara’s husband decided to retire, and the couple moved to Tryon, enjoying the mountain views

and good climate. Barbara designed the house they lived in. She remained active in com-munity activities and took on leadership roles in the Tryon Garden Club, Lanier Library, Great Books, Antique Club and the Congregational Church. She and Stephen were inducted into the “Second Wind Hall of Fame” for “exemplary commu-nity involvement and outstand-ing accomplishments since retirement.”

Barbara continued to travel and also enjoy visits from her adult children, and relished be-ing a grandmother to their four grandchildren: Gordon, Bessie, Ted and Winston. Her husband died suddenly in 1995.

Barbara moved to Cathedral Village in Pennsylvania in November 2000 to be closer to her daughter, Margot Clark, who lives with her family in Wyndmoor, Pa. Knowing not a soul at Cathedral Village,

Barbara reached out to others and soon was organizing din-ner gatherings and welcoming other new arrivals. She became very active at the prescription desk and also became the head of the annual New Year’s Eve party. She thrived in the com-munity and took advantage of all the enriching programs, including the college courses, art classes, concerts, trips and exercise classes. She attended St. Mary’s Church religiously, even in inclement weather, and found great comfort and beauty in that sanctuary.

Barbara will be remembered for her kindness, gentleness, inclusiveness and her love of color, beauty and celebration of life.

A memorial service at St. Mary’s Church (630 East Ca-thedral Road, Philadelphia, Pa. 19128) is planned for Saturday, Sept. 10 at 3 p.m. with a recep-tion to follow in the parish hall.

Most of us know of an elderly person who continues to amaze us by living alone, remaining active and continuing to be in reasonably good health.

For many people, living longer is taken for granted, but in most cases there is what Dr. Nicholas DiNubile, an orthopedic surgeon calls, “…a mismatch between longevity and durability, and du-rability is the issue we’ve ignored for the most part.”

There are a combination of factors that contribute to longev-ity including durability and life quality.

We can all take preventive steps to avoid injuries whether at home, at work or while pursu-ing activities that keep us fit and active.

Follow these simple steps to stay safe and to add years of enjoy-able living to your life.

For a safer home, it is recommended that older adults:

• Have handrails securely at-tached on both sides of steps and stairways.

• Secure throw rugs and area rugs to the floor with double-sided tape.

• Be sure that there is adequate lighting throughout the home, and that it is used when walk-ing.

• To make doors easier to open, replace doorknobs with lever handles for easy use.

Issues of aging and durability aren’t just for our older seniors. Today, the fastest growing seg-ment of the population seeking

Aging well and avoiding injuries as we ageand receiving replacement knees, hips and shoulders is the boomer population.

The reasons are: 1) many boomers are obese, and that extra weight is stressing out their body parts, particularly joints and 2) a number of boomers who are pushing the fitness craze with running, tennis and a wide range of weekend sports that result in injuries and/or the wearing out of their hips, knees and shoulders.

The benefits to those who choose fitness over obe-sity are many, and if surgery or replacement is needed, the more fit recipients tend to recover more quickly.

H e r e a r e s o m e o f Dr. DiNubile’s suggestions for staying fit and injury free as you age:

• Stay active to improve your quality of life. Being a couch potato is not an option you can live with.

• Take time to warm up and gently stretch before engaging in hard exercise. Warming up means breaking a sweat and getting your cardio level up with calisthenics or on a sta-tionary bike.

• Once warmed up, stretch the whole body including your back, not just the muscles you’ll be using most. This helps to avoid some minor injuries and muscle strains.

• Be sure your workout includes equal amounts of cardio ac-tivity, flexibility exercises,

abdominal muscle or core work and overall strength or resistance training to work the entire body. Heavy weights are not necessary, but consis-tency of the training regimen is critical.

• Take your time as you start or increase your level of exercise activity, particularly if you are older or haven’t worked out in some time.

• G i v e y o u r body time to ad-just to the new demands.• Provide your body with proper nutrition and al-

low time to rest for muscles to recover.

Working out seven days a week is excessive, even if you vary sports and muscle group use. Your body needs time to recover, and as you age rest is a critical component of your total fitness.

While no one can promise you a longer, healthier life, following these simple rules can certainly improve your odds of adding years with more quality and enjoyment to your lifespan.

Humane society completes open-air pavilionThe open-air pavilion at the Foothills Humane Society has been completed. (photo submitted)

The open-air pavilion at the Foothills Humane Society (FHS), phase I of the organization’s latest building project, is complete.

The open-air pavilion has long been on the wish list for the humane society. Enclosed with fencing for security, the pavilion will allow for more activities with animals in a covered, secure setting.

According to FHS officials, the shelter property is some of the best utilized space in the area. The main building includes office and animal space. Additionally, there is a separate building for housing cats and indoor/outdoor kennels. The complex also features fenced outdoor play and training areas, but until now, did not have a good place for working with animals outdoors on hot or rainy days.

Major funding for the pavilion

was provided by the Polk County Community Foundation and the Carol M. Wellman Trust.

Phase II of the pavilion proj-ect, to be completed as funds are raised, will enclose a section of the open air building to provide climate-controlled “meet and greet” training and clinic areas.

FHS president Ruth Grubbs, commenting on the new facility, said, “Our pavilion was put to good use immediately with our Independence Day Adopt-A-Thon and last week for a vaccination and microchip clinic.

“The pavilion allows us to hold events, exercise dogs, conduct volunteer training and so much more, regardless of the weather. One use we’re particularly excited about is that it allows adopters a secure space to meet and greet our dogs.”

Foothills Humane Society is a North Carolina not-for-profit organization started in 1957 to prevent animal abuse, to care and find homes for stray and abandoned animals, to promote responsible pet ownership, and to prevent overpopulation through spay/neuter programs in Polk County and northern Greenville and Spartanburg counties in South Carolina. FHS is working for a community of no more homeless pets, and in 2010 achieved an overall live release rate of 98.7 percent of all animals. The FHS shelter is located at 989 Little Mountain Road in Columbus.

for your home or office flow with renewed positive “sheng” energy.

Through visuals, stories and instruction, Land will cover the fundamentals of the 3,000-year-old Chinese practice. Famous in Hong Kong and now in the west,

Feng Shui is now being used to add good fortune to many of the largest banks in the world.

According to Feng Shui ex-perts, when a master such as Land enters a site, there is an immediate appraisal of the Chinese five ele-ments the home displays from the curbside. The home should then have a clear curved path to a proud front door. When entering the

home, the kitchen should be behind the midline of the house and rooms should not be over a garage.

Come and explore the ancient energy flow together by attending the class in Tryon on Thursday, Aug. 25. For more information, contact [email protected].
