83-year-old pursues daredevil wish list

by Samantha Hurst

Bonnie Zelinski, 83, ensures each day is lively around Tryon Estates in Columbus.

“I’ve been a troublemaker all my life – I tease everybody,” Zelinski said.

The 14-year-resident of the ACTS facility even pushed administrators for more after they brought a hot air balloon out to give rides to residents.

Zelinski wasn’t impressed, because she wanted to fly.

“I said that was too dull for me,” Zelinski said with a chuckle. “If it had floated away then I would have done it.”

When administrators asked what she’d rather do, she said, “I want to go skydiving.”

• 83-year-old (continued from page 1)

“I just think it would feel like flying,” Zelinski said. “And it’s not like they let you go by yourself – it’s safe.”

With her sights set on leaping out of a plane, Zelinski frequently pestered Tryon’s Residents Services Director Sara Staton to find her a company that would take her up.

Zelinski eventually settled for a wind tunnel experience in Maggie Valley.

Flanked by two tethers and girded in a wind suit and helmet, a force of air lifted the 83-yearold 40 feet, where she floated in the center of the chamber.

“It was just fabulous – you feel like you are in outerspace, you just float around,” Zelinski said.

She said next time she wants to try acrobatic flips like the guides typically do to show off.

She’s also not giving up on her desire to go skydiving.

Zelinski believes she garnered her adventurous side from her father. While she said her mother was incredibly refined, her father drove racecars. She later discovered her own penchant for speed skiing in the Poconos while living in Pennsylvania.

“I was a daredevil. I would get in the slalom races and I loved mobiles,” she said. “I was the speed demon that would race ahead of everyone.”

There was no settling down for Zelinski, not even after marriage.

She met her late husband, Henry, in her 30s and for 40 years he humored her zest for an adventurous lifestyle.

“He would just let me alone to do whatever I wanted to do,” she said. “Nobody else could have put up with me but him.”

Zelinski said she now pals around with six other widows.

None of them, she said, are quite as daring as her, though.

“They just laugh at me – I don’t think there is anyone as crazy as I am here,” Zelinski said.

The women take regular trips together. Different combinations

of them have visited Europe, Hawaii, Bermuda, the Colorado River and Alaska.

“I think the people here are entirely different than from anywhere else – the people here are from all over the United States and they’ve done so many things.

It makes it interesting,” Zelinksi said. “So many people get the wrong impression of life in a re-

tirement facility. I think they just figure they are done for, but there is so much more life to live.”

Zelinski spends her nonairborne days volunteering at Steps to Hope or driving friends to doctor’s appointments. She regularly line dances and beats her fellow residents at Wii bowling. Be careful – this daredevil is also incredibly competitive.

may be legal to charge outside customers a higher rate, but it’s not moral and doesn’t make it right. Calure said in 1926 water lines were extended and he understands the town’s thinking then to charge higher rates to pay for the line since they couldn’t be taxed.

“I don’t know why we’re still paying that,” said Calure.

“It doesn’t cost any more to send.”

Calure said he’s not asking for his rates to come down, but the rates for customers inside town limits should come up to match the outside rates.

“They should be equal,” Calure said. “I feel like a secondclass citizen.”

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said he recently spent some time going through the town’s water rates in 1957-1958, which were $3 per 3,000 gallons. He said applying inflation rates, the town’s rates now are less than what they were then.

Peoples later mentioned that the town has not increased taxes in 10 years and has decreased the tax rate twice in the last decade.

fees. The fee to rent Rogers Park, for example, will rise from $100 to $115 for town residents and from $200 to $215 for non-town residents. Licensing fees for itinerant merchants will rise from $100 to $150, for peddlers of farm products from $25 to $35 and for peddlers on foot from $10 to $50.

Some planning and zoning fees will rise substantially, including a $100 increase in the fee for construction, repair or demolition of street or sidewalk. The fee for installing a wireless communications tower will go up $250, and the fees for final subdivision plats, rezonings, text amendments, variances and appeals will rise $200.

Council held a public hearing last Tuesday, June 21 prior to adopting the new budget and heard from one water customer, John Calure.

Calure said he lives outside city limits, so he pays the premium water rate. He said it

Ours

Find a way to get along, for the sake of the community Business owners and members of the Polk County GOP gathered June 22 to discuss plans for the new Republican headquarters in Columbus.

There had been miscommunication and ill feelings tossed around between both sides earlier in the process of the GOP making plans to construct its new headquarters. However, when Republican committee members and business owners sat down, face-to-face, and talked through concerns, they were able to work things out in a civil and productive manner.

Could it not be more like that in other discussions involving government entities? We know – how naive are we?

But seriously, Americans and Polk County citizens on both sides of the fence are calling for lawmakers to step up. Most of us are done with the “Republicans said/Democrats said” debate. We’re asking for representatives at national, state and yes, county levels, to stop bickering over whether an idea is a Republican idea or a Democratic idea. We simply want our leaders to do what is best and often that means accepting that someone across the debate line could have a decent plan for moving things forward.

The initial conflict between the Polk County Republican Party and business owners had more to do with rear access to buildings than politics, but it still shines as a good example of what can be done when organizations and leaders in the community take the time to listen to one another and offer to work together.

We wish we could have seen more of this when Polk County Board of Commissioners went back and forth over the budget. We’re not saying either side had a better plan, we’re just saying that from the outside it still seems like both parties are caught up in a “their side or my side” mentality.

It doesn’t have to be this way. In our eyes both sides would gain respect from their constituents if they made a point of working together for the better of Polk County, not for the better of any one party.

USDA reminds producers to file IRS adjusted gross income consent forms The USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers that to receive USDA program payments, each recipient must have an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) verification consent form on file with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

The consent form authorizes the IRS to verify a recipient’s AGI eligibility requirements for USDA programs. The form became a requirement for payment eligibility beginning with the 2009 crop year. However, FSA officials said many program participants have not complied with this requirement.

Nationwide, FSA is missing the required consent forms from some producers for 2009 and 2010. To avoid an interruption of payments, producers need to check their business records and submit these forms to the IRS

immediately.

IRS requires written consent from all individuals or legal entities before AGI verification can be provided to USDA. Individuals must submit form CCC-927.

Legal entities must submit form CCC-928. Without these forms on file, producers will not receive USDA program payments.

Consent forms are required for payments received from the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) as well as those received through FSA. Completed forms must be returned to the IRS. For more information on AGI eligibility requirements or the AGI verification process, contact the Henderson-PolkTransylvania County FSA office at 828-693-1406, ext. 2.

Lindsey trains in Mojave desert

by Staff Sgt. Christopher Holmes, Ft Irwin NTC

Every year, thousands of military men and women deploy to the Middle East, where they live and work under austere conditions in some of the most remote areas of the world. All of this while being on a continuous lookout for whatever attack an enemy force may make.

The son of a Landrum man and woman recently experienced a glimpse of what life over there will be like when he spent a month at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif. For two weeks of his time there he lived and worked in tents while under a constant threat of simulated attacks.

Army Spec. Marvin J. Lindsey, son of Marvin J. Lindsey Jr. and Deborah F. Hutchins, both of Landrum, was in the Mojave Desert with other members of his unit to receive some of the most advanced and realistic training the military has to offer.

A large portion of Fort Ir-

win’s more than 642,000 acres has been transformed to simulate conditions similar to what soldiers will experience while deployed.

There are base camps and forward operating bases spread throughout the area about the size of the state of Rhode Island.

There are also mock towns and villages housing military trainers and civilian role-players to give Lindsey and other members of his brigade a feeling of actually being deployed.

Lindsey is an infantryman assigned to Alpha Company, 4-6 Infantry Battalion, 4th Heavy B r i g a d e C o m b a t Te a m , 1 s t Armored Division, Fort Bliss, Texas.

“I am here getting realistic combat training to get ready for my deployment,” said Lindsey.

“To add to the realism, entire villages have been constructed to simulate situations soldiers will face in places like Afghanistan and Iraq, and in places, role-players, many of them Iraqi

Americans, inhabit the villages during the two-week training objective.

“I think that this environment is pretty similar to Iraq.

The villages and people add to the reality,” said Lindsey.

Letter to the Editor

Teach a man to fish a Chinese proverb To the Editor: Referring to Mrs. Johnson’s letter to the editor on June 20, she stated that “Teach a man to fish” was in the Bible.

I have gone to church all my life and I never heard it quoted.

Now let me tell you, I Googled “teach a man to fish,” and it says it is a Chinese proverb. Open your mouth and remove all doubt.

their upcoming deployment.

“The most challenging part of the training is the hardly getting any sleep and working long hours,” said Lindsey.

Training before deployments helps to ensure troops are aware of the latest tactics the enemy is using and to help them prepare for just about any situation they may find themselves in.

“I think that I will be extremely well prepared for my deployment when I leave here,” said Lindsey, who has completed three years of military service.

While the National Training Center is harsh in its Spartan environment and extreme temperatures that can sizzle to more than 120 degrees in the summer, it is the perfect training ground for soldiers like Lindsey who may face similar conditions during the months ahead in Iraq or Afghanistan.

A member of the 1st Armored Division, Fort Bliss, encounters a group of local villagers during a training scenario at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, Calif. Iraqis and other civilians are hired to bring a realistic feel to training. Many of the role players and staff live in the mock villages for the two-week training exercise. (photo by Staff Sgt.

Jean Wright, Tryon Painters and Sculptors, hangs an original painting in the hall at St. Luke’s Hospital. (photo submitted)

Healing arts: more art wanted for St. Luke’s hallways St. Luke’s Hospital hallways display original artwork by Polk County artists.

Coordinated by the Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS), the revolving exhibit changes approximately every three months.

What once was a small exhibit has more than tripled to 95 pieces representing 35 local artists.

The art exhibit has expanded from covering only the St. Luke’s back hall to now including the inpatient hallway leading to the nurse’s station, as well as the Hyperbaric and Wound Care Center lobby.

This expansion requires many additional works of art, so TPS has extended an invitation to exhibit to other artists in the community.

Anyone interested in displaying an oil painting, a watercolor or a sculpture that can hang on a wall, please call Jean Wright with TPS at 859-8359.

The summer rotation will hang from mid-July through mid-October.

To be included in the exhibit, TPS will need the artwork information (title, artist) by Sunday, July 10, and the artwork will need to be delivered to the classroom at St. Luke’s Hospital on Monday, July 11 and Tuesday, July 12.

jbtrees - page 10

TPS has made a bit of progress formalizing the “rules” for this exhibit: • Open to members and nonmembers of Tryon Painters and Sculptors.

• Because the exhibit is in a public space, nudes are not appropriate.

• Participants must sign a St. Luke’s Hospital liability waiver (in the volunteer workroom).

• Contact information for the artist is provided (if desired) with the tag for each piece. The artist is responsible for any sale of art.

• A piece may be removed from the exhibit when it is sold, but TPS asks that you advise the coordinator so TPS can find a replacement.

“We’re extremely pleased to provide a venue for local artists to display their talent, but we’re also hopeful that these original paintings are truly healing arts,” said Ken Shull, St. Luke’s Hospital CEO. “Not only will staff and visitors appreciate creative expressions, I know our patients have and will benefit greatly.”

Mize selected to receive National Merit Scholarship Jim Mize, the son of John and Jill Mize of Green Creek, has been selected as a winner of a National Merit University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Scholarship.

Mize is part of a distin­guished group of about 8,300 high school seniors of 2011 who will receive National Merit Scholarships.

About 1.5 million juniors in some 22,000 high schools entered the 2011 National Merit Scholarship competition when they took the 2009 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/ NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants.

Last fall, some 16,000 semifinalists were named on a state representational basis, in numbers proportional to each state’s percentage of the nation’s high school graduating seniors.

Semifinalists were the highest-scoring program entrants in

each state and represented less than one percent of a state’s seniors.

To compete for Merit Scholarship awards, semifinalists had to advance to the finalist level of the competition by fulfilling additional requirements.

Each semifinalist submitted a scholarship application that included presenting an outstanding academic record, being endorsed and recommended by a school official and earning SAT scores that confirmed the qualifying test performance.

The semifinalist also wrote an essay and provided information about extracurricu­lar activities, awards and leadership positions.

From the semifinalist group, some 15,000 met requirements for finalist standing, and more than half of the finalists will be Merit Scholarship winners in 2011.

Saluda Center presents July art exhibition with artist John Waddill The Saluda Center will present “Looking Back: Paintings on the Wall by John Waddill, 19482011,” July 5-29.

The center will host a reception honoring the Saluda resident Thursday, July 7 from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Saluda Center. The center is located at 64 Greenville Street in Saluda.

Waddill’s life as an artist began after he attended Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Fla., and spent three years of study at Parsons School of Design in New York City.

The following three years Waddill spent working as a designer of home furnishings. Returning to his native South Carolina and becoming a fine artist for two years and with two children later, Waddill said, “I had to take a ‘paying job’

with a textile company and I remained working there for 35 years and painting part time.”

Retired for 20 years, Waddill has enjoyed painting the familiar images found in nature using tempera, watercolor, acrylic and oil as his media and continuing to work in various styles of execution. His paintings are found in numerous private and corporate collections.

Waddill has offered a portion of the proceeds from the sale of his paintings in the exhibit to the Saluda Center for use in continuing the many programs and events provided to the citizens of the area.

For more information, call the center at 828-749-9245 or Anne Jameson at 828-749-3101.
