Skyuka Fine Art shows off 10 Saluda artists by Robin Edgar

The power of this area to attract and sustain artists is clearly evident in “Showing Off Saluda,” an exhibit of works by 10 Saluda artists that opened Feb. 11 and runs through March 23 at Skyuka Fine Art in Tryon. Much of the work in the show depicts local scenes of historic Saluda and its bountiful natural beauty: forests, streams and mountains. “As we were fleshing out our exhibit schedule for the year, we realized that this show has been at the top of our list since we opened a year ago last January and its time was due,” said gallery director and co-owner Kimberly Nelson. According to Nelson, the diversity of (Continued on page 3)

technique makes “Showing Off Saluda” an interesting show, from John Waddill’s expressive brush strokes to Bill Ryan’s bright watercolors to Michael Bedoian’s intense oversized photorealistic wildlife paintings. William Jameson successfully creates some of the magical colors you see in nature while Bonnie Bardos’ mixed media works of oils and wax convey her personal spirit through her color explorations. Marguerite Hankins uses deep, rich colors with her academic style and Jim Carson’s familiar local scenes come to life with his impressionistic bold brush strokes. Landscape lovers will appreciate Beverly Pickard and Anne Jameson’s rural farm and local subjects, as well as Dale McEntire’s pastel abstract landscapes. The opening reception was very well attended, in spite of the bitter cold weather, Nelson said. She said they could tell this was a much-anticipated show from the number of phone calls clarifying the show date opening and the hours of the opening reception.

There was quite a buzz about town, with people commenting on how they were looking forward to the show, particularly Michael Bedoian’s late entry of “Eternity,” which was described as the bear that “stares into your soul.” “The gallery was packed from beginning to end,” Nelson said. “We truly had not seen that amount of people in our space since our grand opening. That certainly says something good about Saluda artists.” As a contemporary realism artist, Jameson said he found the relatively slow pace of life and general peacefulness of the area very conducive to painting. After visiting Saluda for many years, he and his artist wife, Anne, moved there 11 years ago. He said many of the Saluda artists moved to the area by choice. “Our city is so welcoming and supportive to working artists,” Jameson said. “And Saluda artists exhibit together on occasion and enjoy our mutual support and the success of the diversity in style and subject matter of (Continued on page 4)

This photograph shows trash floating through a section of Lake Adger after a heavy rain event in September 2009. Green River Watershed Alliance said while pictures like this grab people’s attention because of the large items of trash, the increase of sediment in waterways is also just as damaging. The Green River Watershed Alliance hopes to educate the community about affects of erosion and sedimentation on our waterways and get community members involved in cleaning and keeping area water sources clean.

valuable Green River and Lake Adger reservoir,” Conard said. “Your voice matters because these waters have none….” About 30 community members gathered in the Polk County Library community room to learn more about the organization and what its efforts would entail. GRWA’s mission statement reads: “The purpose of this citizen-led organization is to address the need to build a collaborative environmentally protective plan for our Green River Watershed. The Green River Watershed Alliance will promote clean water, responsible stewardship, and sustainability of this valuable natural resource. This alliance will work toward restoring and protecting the riparian buffer and stabilizing eroding streams, banks and shorelines for the purpose of improving water quality, reducing sedimentation pollution and enhancing the plant, animal and fish habitats.” A total of 87,470 acres makes up the Green River Watershed – 36,825 acres exist in Polk County, while Henderson has 50,645 acres. The state, Conard said, monitors only 190 miles of the 268 stream miles considered part of the watershed. Conard

also said many of the studies currently available are five or more years old. Another basinwide study of the Broad River Basin, of which the Green River Watershed is a part, will not be done again until 2013. “That’s why it’s so important that we as citizens jump in because there are not enough of them and not enough of a budget,” Conard said. “So, that’s why we have to step in and monitor our waterways.” Community members have not ignored the problem before now but have organized only the initial steps of trying to rid the waterways of debris and trash. About three dozen volunteers gather in early October every year to assist in the Big Sweep, a nationwide event aimed at cleaning up streams, ponds, lakes and other waterways. In 2011, 22 volunteers gleaned 380 pounds of trash and 400 pounds of recyclables from Green River Cove to Fishtop. Fourteen volunteers cleaned a half-mile along the north side of Lake Adger, meanwhile, and collected 700 pounds of trash and 60 pounds of recyclables. This included three tires, 50 disposable cigarette lighters, a toy horse and more than 200 flip-flops. (Continued on page 6)

Though the thought of all of these items floating around in the river or lake catches the public attention, Conard said it’s the less noticeable problem of increasing sediment that poses the biggest threat to waterways. She said sedimentation caused by soil erosion is the single largest water pollutant; it smothers aquatic life, clogs fish gills, warms waters, reduces oxygen levels and destroys wildlife habitats. In February 2010 Conard and Davidson began communications with Polk County Soil and Water, the N.C. Department of Water Quality, Polk County and Altamont Environmental. “We’ve already begun to build the partnerships but now we need citizen participation,” Conard said. “Now it’s time to get this thing moving and get everyone engaged, and certainly the citizens are the most vital partnership we can make.” Citizens would be the ones pushing for fellow neighbors to work toward protection, prevention and restoration, Conard said. She said such an alliance could discuss the need for conservation easements and creating public greenways, establishing conservation land trusts, developing community workshops and environmental watershed topics and distributing watershed materials.

“The GRWA believes there is a renaissance afoot of people valuing and paying attention to our earth’s most important natural asset – fresh water. Citizens here have a unique opportunity to stand and participate in this watershed initiative of protecting our valuable Green River and Lake Adger reservoir.” -- Sky Conard

Davidson said they could also push bio-monitoring in which citizens would collect and identify invertebrates and take monthly water samples to test for sediment and turbidity, among other chemical parameters. The group could also encourage citizens to report potential threats to the waterway and lead efforts for installation and maintenance of silt fencing for erosion control. Davidson said the next step would be to develop an advisory committee. “Before the state will come out and do any assessments on the Green River Watershed, we have to have a committee together,” Davidson said. “Once (Continued on page 8)

they do the assessment, if there are problems found, homeowners or business owners that work and live and play along the Green River can work to get grants that are currently already available.” One property owner in attendance at the meeting was concerned that GRWA members had not contacted him or neighbors that own property along the Green River about their plans. He said he and his neighbors work hard to take care of their property and are weary of the government coming in and telling them what to do or not to do. “We are definitely interested

in talking about the homeowners but we don’t know all the homeowners,” Davidson said. “It’s through the homeowners that are involved that we can get to know other homeowners who might have a stake in this issue.” Conard said in the end the more community input the GRWA has, the better. “We want people to understand that we are all trying to do the best thing for our waters,” Conard said. “If we are going to drink this water one day, which we likely are in the future, we should all want to protect the water now.” To learn more about the GRWA, email Grwa2011@ yahoo.com or call Conard at 704-299-1424.

Habitat volunteer gains experience for grad school

Taylor Rose, 27, installs dry wall in Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity’s 64th house, located in the Mill Spring area. Rose recently began volunteering with the Thermal Belt Habitat construction crew on Thursdays and Fridays. Rose plans to gain admission to graduate school to pursue a master’s degree in building construction to complement his bachelor’s degree in finance and transition into the commercial construction industry. He said he sees Habitat as an excellent opportunity to give back to the community while gaining relevant experience. (photo submitted by Bob Montgomery)

Tryon renovating building to make three office spaces New View, Brady/ Trakas expected to rent two offices by Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon is having the building adjacent to town hall renovated to accommodate possibly three businesses. Town officials said this week construction currently being done to create three office spaces in the building should be completed next week. The town has agreed to pay $15,400 for the renovations. New View Realty and Brady/ Trakas are expected to sign leases to occupy two of the spaces, although as of this week those leases had not yet been signed. Tryon Town Council held a closed session Feb. 21 to discuss rental fees for the building. Fol-

lowing closed session, council decided to give half the space to Brady/Trakas, a quarter of the space to New View and another quarter to Bravo, which at the time was requesting a space. No agreements have been pursued by Bravo since the town’s meeting. Council based rentals on $7 per square foot and agreed for Brady/Trakas to pay $500 per month, New View to pay $265 per month and the other space be rented for $275 per month for a total of $1,035 in rent. Utilities for the spaces will be billed separately. Council members said they wanted to be fair in leasing the space in an effort not to compete with other downtown businesses. “The worst thing we can do is compete with our own taxpayers with their money,” said councilman George Baker.

Shuford focus of new book Carla Shuford, formerly of Tryon and the daughter of Bob Shuford, is the subject of “Still Hopping, Still Hoping,” an illustrated condensed biography written by Rita Berman, a freelance writer and editor. Shuford and Berman are both long-time residents of Chapel Hill, N.C., but they didn’t get to know each other until they co-moderated a storytelling class for Shared Learning of Chapel Hill. “I enjoyed Carla’s stories and decided to publish them as well as details of her life, career and volunteer service. She has received many awards and recognitions,” said Berman. Shuford, the daughter of Bob Shuford of Tryon, has been an amputee since the age of 15, when her left leg was amputated because of osteosarcoma. That has not deterred her from leading an active life of work at UNCChapel Hill and volunteer service for people and various organizations. Printed by VIP Printing of Chapel Hill, with wire binding and large pages, the book looks somewhat like a scrapbook, Berman said. It includes stories and poems, as well as photographs of Shuford’s life, interests and passions. – article submitted by Rita Berman

Whitson told the Polk County Board of Commissioners Feb. 20 that 30 pillars will be replaced underneath the structure at a cost of $13,500. Local contractor Myron Yoder has been hired to do the work. Whitson said this time of year is the best to make structural repairs, as current activities will not be

interrupted during construction. Whitson told commissioners that the contractor said as long as the bleachers are not full, activities can continue. The current pillars under the building were intended to be temporary, with no estimates of how many years ago they were installed.

The county also intends to install new flooring in the gym once the structural repairs have been completed. The structure and flooring are the last of improvements planned for the gym. Other recent repairs have been a new roof and gutters, new doors and windows and painting.

Polk High’s Littlejohn, Painter sign to play college ball by Samantha Hurst

Polk County High School Head Football Coach Bruce Ollis stood proudly behind players Jacob Painter and Cary Littlejohn as they signed letters of intent to play college football. Cary Littlejohn signed for a full ride to Catawba College in Salisbury, N.C. saying he was impressed with the school’s football program and campus. Littlejohn led the Wolverines in the 2011 football season with 215 carries, 1505 yards and 23 touchdowns. On defense Littlejohn grabbed 15 receptions on the year for 301 yards and three touchdowns. “He was definitely a go-to guy for us,” Ollis said. “He’s got college speed and I think that is what Catawba sees in him – the fact that he has the ability to break away from people.” When he first came to the team, Ollis said Littlejohn was a 5 flat or 4.9 guy on speed but he worked to get down to the 4.3 and 4.4 range. “He’s a hard worker and I think he will fit in very well at Catawba,”

Ollis said. Meanwhile, fellow Wolverine Jacob Painter signed to play ball at The University of North Carolina at Pembroke this fall. Painter led the team with 11 sacs on the year. He also grabbed 84 tackles making him second on the team, with 12 tackles resulting in a loss for the opposing team, and three pass deflections. Painter said he chose Pembroke because of the team’s record and football facilities. He said the family-oriented team also was a big deciding factor in his decision. Painter played most of the entire season with one arm after breaking a bone in his hand near the thumb joint. Ollis said it was one of those weird injuries that just wouldn’t heal, but Painter didn’t stop. “If Jacob can stay healthy he can be an impact player at Pembroke on the defensive line,” Ollis said. “If he’s able to put that behind him and play injury free he’ll play a lot of college ball.” (Continued on page 17)

(828) 692-1399 All Inclusive Luxury Touring for Seniors Parker Dotson, a junior drag racer, poses in front of his dragster at a race last year. (photo submitted by Amber Dotson)

Dotson, local junior drag racer, racing season starts this Saturday by Gwen Ring

Most average fourth graders reach an average max speed of 10 mph, that’s how fast their Huffy can take them to their buddy’s house to play the latest video game. Parker Dotson not only doubles that, he reaches a speed of 68 mph. Dotson is a 9-year old junior drag racer. Junior league is for kids ages 8 -17 and uses a five-horsepower, single-cylinder engine. You could say racing is in Dotson’s blood considering his dad, granddad and uncles all have taken to the need for speed. Dotson’s first time at a drag strip was when he was 3 months old. His mother, Amber, brought him, taking him all over to strips in North and South Carolina. Before jumping in the seat himself, Dotson always hung out,

helping his dad work on his car and learning how to “cut a good light.” He said two things his dad always tells him before he races is to concentrate and “make sure Mama’s not in front of me.” Dotson’s first race was in 2010 at the Greer Dragway in South Carolina, where he made it through to the semi-finals. His father, Travis, made track champion at the same strip last year. On Sept. 24, 2011 Dotson won first place at Greer and on Oct. 22, 2011 got runner up positioning in the finals. Racing season starts this Saturday, March 3, for Dotson at Greer Dragway. After the race you can find the Dotson family hanging out at Pete’s Diner in Greer, where they’ve been going after every race for 15 years. You could say it’s a family affair.

Ollis said Painter has great feet for a big man and is powerful at the same time. “I like to say he’s got a little nasty in him – he’s a hard nose player in other words,” Ollis said. “You know the college game is a

little more physical, so I think he’ll fit right in.” Ollis said he’s excited to hopefully get the chance to watch many Polk County alums going face to face as many football players from the school will be playing in the same college conference next year. Gwen Ring contributed to this story.

A gathering of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Slow Polksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; On Sunday, Feb. 12, 54 members and potential members of the newly formed Slow Food Foothills movement met at the new Manna Cabanna production kitchen in Tryon (the former Brother Billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barbeque, just above Open Road Coffee House). This was the third meeting of the local Slow Food Foothills, a subchapter of Slow Food Asheville. The gathering included local growers and business people, as well as dancers, artists, children and others. In addition, the Saluda Methodist Church attended with a group interested in incorporating clean and fair food concepts into their studies on spirituality. The new Slow Food Foothills officers were introduced and three committees were formed: Slow Food in School, Slow Food Stewardship and Slow Food Community Outreach. The meeting took place at the production kitchen, which Jackson explains is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shared-useâ&#x20AC;? kitchen venture led by Manna Cabanna. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people in the community have occasional business and personal reasons to need a commercial kitchen, so we are trying to make that happen for a very low rental fee,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is also a section that can be

used for dining in, private events, workshops, retreats and classes, which would include a separate rental fee.â&#x20AC;? Organizers say the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slow Foodâ&#x20AC;? is an idea, a way of living and a way of eating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a global, grassroots movement with thousands of members around the world who link the pleasure of food with a commitment to community and the environment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; food that is good for its eaters, for the planet and for the people that grow it,â&#x20AC;? they say. Slow Food Foothills kicked off with founding members Lee and April Mink of LEAP Farm, on Oct. 23 in Mill Spring, where approximately 125 folks converged to celebrate the summer bounty of homegrown food. Carol Lynn Jackson, owner of Manna Cabanna, a local organic food market and CSA in Saluda, initiated the creation of Slow Food Foothills. The president elect is Mindy Wiener, owner and operator of White Oak Vineyard in Green Creek. For more information on the progress of Slow Food Foothills, contact Jackson at caroljackson@ tds.net or Mindy Wiener at mindywiener@gmail.com. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; article submitted by Jo Rytter

PCHS band director wins Award of Excellence Cindy L. Gilbert, the director of bands at Polk County High School, won the N.C. Bandmaster Association Award of Excellence for 2011 for the western district. Gilbert is in her 15th year at Polk County Schools and her eighth year as the high school band director. She is a graduate of Boiling Springs High School in Spartanburg, S.C. and a 1987 graduate of Limestone College in Gaffney, S.C. While attending Limestone College (1983-1987) as a music education major, Gilbert performed with the Limestone College Wind Ensemble, percussion ensemble, jazz band, concert choir, madrigal singers and vocal ensemble. She traveled on weekends and summers to Florida to rehearse and perform with the Suncoast Sound Drum & Bugle Corps for two years. She also performed as a percussionist with the Asheville Symphony Orchestra in the same two years. Continuing with her music education at Valdosta State University, Gilbert performed with the Valdosta Wind Ensemble, percussion ensemble and the Valdosta Concert Choir. She was assistant director for the Valdosta State Wind Ensemble, percussion ensemble, and the marching band until her graduation in 1989 with a master’s of music education.

Gilbert started her teaching career in South Georgia, teaching band grades 6-12 for two years. She moved to South Carolina in 1991, where she taught general music for four years. In 1996, she started teaching middle school band in Polk County Middle Schools and assisted the high school band director, Gene Vanderford.

Pacolet Valley birding field trip program March 7 Wild Birds Unlimited will open its spring birding field trip program in Western North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina with an outing in Pacolet Valley near Tryon and Landrum. Here the Pacolet River runs through woodland and agricultural fields in rolling fields, scattered woodlots and riverine brush and this habitat holds good numbers of both resident and wintering species and the open country habitat dictates the varied bird population of the area. Participants will be looking for several sparrows, such as whitecrowned, Lincoln’s, swamp and vesper. A pair of loggerhead shrikes is resident in the farmlands, and a good number of raptors, including American kestrel, red-tailed and red-shouldered hawks and northern harrier, are also likely sightings. Visit www.birdventures.com for directions and more information or call 828-253-4247. - article submitted by Simon Thompson

‘In My Life’: Appreciating each other a little bit more ...There are places I remember  All my life though some have changed  Some forever not for better  Some have gone and some remain  All these places have their moments  With lovers and friends I still can recall  Some are dead and some are living  In my life I’ve loved them all... ~ lyrics from: In My Life: The Beatles On an overcast silver-gray morning with sprinkles of rain, snippets of this Beatles song resonate through my mind: there are places I remember....and I find myself thinking of the young man who was recently murdered here. Only 23, that young man ate at my table many times while he was growing up; he had a soft spot for my biscuits. I have to smile when I remember he and his younger brother didn’t appreciate the steamed asparagus so much; the vegetables weren’t as big as a hit as those biscuits. You see, those years ago, he’d lost his mother— and it

White Cane program presented at Columbus Lions meeting Program helps visually impaired in multiple ways Will Hicks, 2nd Vice District Governor and White Cane Chairman of District 31A, recently presented a program about North Carolina Lions White Cane program to the Columbus Lions. Hicks said the White Cane program touches the lives of thousands of individuals across the state. White canes have been provided to North Carolina’s visually impaired since the 1940s and also funds provide many other services as well.

White Cane supports Camp Dogwood in Sherrills Ford, N.C., on Lake Norman. The camp hosts visually impaired campers, providing them with the summer fun of boating, hiking, and other activities. In addition, White Cane supports local Lions Clubs with matching the funds for the purchase of eyeglasses, eye exams and eye surgery for needy citizens of North Carolina, and it supports a Vision Van, which the Columbus club brings to Polk County every other year. The program also provides scholarships to children of visually impaired parents and also funds athletic programs at the

Governor Morehead School for the Blind in Raleigh, N.C. An annual fishing tournament at the Outer Banks , supported by White Cane grants, is the largest single event held for the visually impaired in the United States. The Columbus Lions meet on the first and third Thursday evenings at Calvert’s Restaurant in Columbus. They encourage anyone interested in community service to visit with them. For information, call Fran Goodwin at 828-894-2505. - article submitted by Helen Trevathan

Zeek named to Second Wind Hall of Fame Elizabeth “Betsy” Zeek became the newest member of the Second Wind Hall of Fame (SWHF) recently, when she was sponsored for induction by the Tryon Estates Retirement Life Community. Zeek moved to the Thermal Belt area more than five years ago and immediately became a very active volunteer in service organizations. In Tryon Estates, she was a member of the resident services committee and the spiritual life committee, teaches Bible study and assists the chaplain with services. For Tryon Presbyterian Church, Zeek is a frequent liturgist, a Sunday school teacher, writer for the newsletter and rings in the bell choir. For Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, Zeek visits with the bereaved, is the historian and is a support group participant. Zeek graduated from Montclair State College in New Jersey in 1961, with a bachelor of arts degree in social studies, education and math, which led to a career of teaching remedial math. Zeek and her late husband,

Bill, had two children, Elaine and Becki. Elaine and her husband, Richard, live in Burlington, N.J. Becki and her husband, Lou, live in Fredon, N.J., with their children, Cassi and Braeden. When not otherwise involved, Zeek enjoys crosswords, needlecrafts and gospel music. Her sponsors said she is a splendid example of a dedicated community servant and a lady of strong, steady faith in her Lord and Savior. The Second Wind Hall of Fame is a Thermal Belt organization whose mission is to recognize and celebrate dedicated community volunteers who, in retirement, have caught a “second wind“ of service to mankind. To call attention to another deserving candidate you know, call one of the directors of SWHF: Larry Poe, Wayne Ackerman, Carol Browning, Dave Cornelius, Carolyn Jones, Lynn Montgomery, Ron Smith, Judy Warden or Jack Wright. – article submitted by Larry Poe

How to save money on prescription drug costs Dear Savvy Senior What tips can you recommend to help me save on my drug costs? I’m 62 years old, and currently take six different prescription medications that I can barely afford. ~Poorly Insured Dear Poorly, There are actually a variety of ways you can reduce your medication costs without cutting quality, but you’ll need to take a proactive approach. The following tips can also help seniors with a Medicare prescription drug plan avoid the “donut hole” coverage gap, or reduce their costs once they reach it. Here are some cost-cutting strategies to try. Check your insurance: If you have drug coverage, your first step is to find out what your plan does and doesn’t cover. You can do this by visiting the insurer’s website or by calling their 800 number on the back of your insurance card. Once you have this information, share it with your doctor so (if possible) he or she can prescribe medications that are best covered by your plan. You also need to find out if your insurer has a mail-order service. This would help you to purchase your medications for 20 to 40 percent less. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist: Find out if the medications you’re taking are available in a generic form or a less expensive brand-name drug (you can also look this up online at sites like destinationrx.com). About 75 percent of all premiums drugs on

news: PTSO is selling value cards as a fundraiser: and the cards support local businesses. PTSO funds are used to provide each student at Saluda Elementary School with 5 free books each year. The PTSO also sponsors an annual Read-AThon and other student-related activities, such as clogging and the 5th grade trip to Charleston, SC. You can purchase your value

the market today have a lower-cost alternative. Switching could save you between 20 and 90 percent. Many chains like Wal-Mart, Target, Costco, Kmart, CVS, Walgreens and Kroger sell hundreds of generics for as little as $4 for a 30-day supply and $10 for a 90day supply. Another cost cutter is to buy your medications in bulk. Many pharmacies give discounts if you buy a three-month supply of drugs versus a 30-day supply. Also, find out if the pills you’re taking can be cut in half. Pill splitting allows you to get two months worth of medicine for the price of one. Shop around: Drug prices can vary from drugstore to drugstore, so it’s definitely worth your time to compare prices at the different pharmacies in your area. Using U.S.-based online pharmacies are another way to save 25 percent or more. Drugstore.com and familymeds.com are two good sites that provide solid savings, but there are dozens to choose from. If you opt for an online pharmacy, be sure you purchase from ones that have the “VIPPS” seal of approval (see vipps.info) from the National Association of Board of Pharmacy. Seniors enrolled in a Medicare prescription drug plan also need to make sure the online pharmacy they’re buying from is included in their network. Otherwise, the purchase may not count toward their deductible. Get a discount card: Many

pharmacies have free or low-cost discount card programs that will let you buy generics for $4 or qualify for steeper discounts on other drugs. Other drug card programs worth a look are: togetherrxaccess.com, rxsavingsplus.com, yourrxcard.com, rxfreecard.com, pscard.com and familywize.com. Search for drug assistance programs: If your income is limited, you can probably get help through drug assistance programs offered through pharmaceutical companies, government agencies and charitable organizations. To find these types of programs use benefitscheckup.org, a comprehensive website that lets you easily locate the programs you’re eligible for, and will show you how to apply. Buy from Canada: This option offers savings between 50 and 80 percent on brand-name drugs, but it’s important to understand that it’s illegal to import drugs from Canada. The FDA, however, does not prosecute anyone who imports prescription drugs for personal use. If you’re interested in this option, see pharmacychecker. com, an independent resource that finds the lowest prices from licensed and reputable Canadian pharmacies. (Note: This is not a good option for Medicare Part D beneficiaries because it will not count toward their deductible.) Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.
