PCHS Players present ‘Grease’ Friday, Saturday When the PCHS production of GREASE opens on Friday night, one of the biggest stars of the show will be not a student, but a car. “This is the fifth time I’ve directed a production of ‘Grease.’ The most difficult part of each production is finding a car that will work within
the confines of the individual stage,” said director Donna Everett. Unlike the movie, in the musical version of ‘Grease,’ Greased Lightning is never restored. “It remains a junk heap throughout the musical, so finding the right car often results in a frustrating search,” Everett said. Enter David Waldrop of Waldrop’s Restorations. (Continued on page 3)
Polk rescinds rails to trails resolution by Leah Justice
Local property owners against the Rails to Trails initiative, a proposal to convert the area’s currently unused railbed to a trail system, have apparently made their points effectively. After hearing from those against Rails to Trails for months, the Polk County Board of Com-
missioners voted unanimously Monday, April 4 to rescind a resolution commissioners issued Dec. 6, 2010 in support of the initiative. Commissioner Reneé McDermott made the motion to rescind the resolution after reading a written statement (see page 5 for her full statement).
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
“The Rails to Trails issue is, indeed, moot,” McDermott said. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson announced last month that he had spoken with Norfolk Southern, owner of the rail line, which said the rail line will not be given up because the line is (Continued on page 4)

• ‘Grease’
(continued from page 1)
Waldrop had a 1961 Impala Super Sport that he was using for scrap and offered to allow Everett to use the car in the production. However, the car was not a convertible, an absolute non-negotiable when dealing with stage lighting. Waldrop proposed that the gang of young men in the show work together to remove the top of the car. Cole Pellatt (Danny Zuko), Cabell Brand (Kenickie), Cade Underwood (Doody), Tanner Ramsey (Sonny) and Maverick Yoder (Roger) spent a Friday evening learning how to use an acetylene torch to remove the car top. Not only was the car top removed, but the hood was reinforced and a bench seat added to the stripped down vehicle. “It was great fun. I think we all bonded that night. Having a real car makes the dance even better,” said Yoder. Also taking a lead role in this year’s production is foreign exchange student Sihui “Helen” Li of China. Li said preparing for the musi-
cal has been thrilling, even the long nights of rehearsals. “Doing this play has really allowed me to make so many new friends,” Li said. “Myself and all the students playing the Pink Ladies have really bonded.” Li said she’s loved to sing and performing on stage all her life. But she said she was nervous at the prospect of trying out for the play. “I just thought, ‘I’m only here for one year, why not do something special,’” Li said. “I was incredibly surprised to get the lead, especially since before then I had never seen the movie.” Li has now watched the movie three times and said it’s actually done a lot for her education because she’s learned a laundry list of English slang terms she never would have learned otherwise. ‘Grease’ opens this Friday, April 8, at 7:30 p.m. at the high school. The musical continues on Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available by calling 828-894-2525 ext. 261. Tickets will also be available at the door the nights of the show. – article submitted

Thursday, April 07, 2011 Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper
Editor’s note: Following is a statement read by Polk County commissioner Renée McDermott during the county’s Monday, April 4, 2011 meeting when she motioned to rescind the county’s previously approved resolution in support of the Rails to Trails initiative. A few meetings ago, the Rails to Trails matter was brought up and a motion was made, without any advance warning, to rescind the Dec. 6, 2010 resolution that this board of commissioners had unanimously adopted. Commissioner Walker asked to see a copy of the resolution, to be able to consider the motion. No copy was available at that meeting, which was being held at the Green Creek Fire Station. We reasonably asked for time to obtain the resolution and review it before voting on it again. That was a reasonable request. Interestingly, those who actually have a personal interest in the Rails to Trails question, people who live along the trails, apparently accepted that request and have waited and watched patiently while the matter was considered. I thank them for that. Unfortunately, a few (who notably do not appear to be personally affected by the issue) have used Rails to Trails to wage a battle for political purposes. Having had some success at harming commissioners on a previous board by making false claims of the threat of using eminent domain, they have again raised its specter in an attempt to discredit currently sitting commissioners. There is no threat, and never was any threat, or chance, of using eminent domain for Rails to Trails. Still, those who want to stir up political animosity in the community sow falsehoods in the hope of reaping distrust against those with whom they disagree on policy. That has proven to be a successful strategy in the past and it is being used again. That must stop. Both commissioners and all other citizens must not let that happen. Just recently, the North Carolina Department of Transportation
came to the county and asked that portions of two roads be removed from the public maintenance rolls. It was supposed to have been done some years ago, but the action did not get completed then. The petitions that the DOT provided the county clearly and specifically stated that only 300 feet of one of the roads and only 400 feet of the other road were to be removed from the maintenance rolls. Nevertheless, someone approached homeowners on the roads and warned them that the commissioners were preparing to take the whole roads off the rolls. People were understandably upset and concerned. But it simply was not true. Luckily in that case, one of the property owners came to the county manager’s office and asked whether it was true. A simple look at the DOT petitions showed that it was not true, and that there was never any danger to the landowners. That type of inquiry needs to occur in all cases when someone is making claims of others being out to harm them. Ask questions of those against whom the accusations are being made. Don’t simply take a partisan’s word for it. In the past, commissioners who were accused of various wrongs stood silent in the face of false accusations. That is no longer an option. Too much mischief is accomplished when that happens. People have said this type of mischief must stop. Indeed it must. The way to stop it is for commissioners and other concerned citizens to shine the light of truth on it. The Rails to Trails issue is, indeed, moot. Unfortunately it is still being used as a divisive political tool to the point of fanciful conspiracy theories being spread. After having had time to study the terms of the resolution, having given it much thought, and to attempt to take away one arrow from the quiver of those who use falsehoods to further their political interests, I move that the Dec. 6, 2010 Rails to Trails resolution be rescinded.

Two Landrum women face attempted murder charges by Bulletin staff
Two Landrum women have been charged with attempted murder in connection with a February incident in Chesnee in which an unidentified victim’s legs were run over by a car. Teresa Faye Hood, 47, of 128 S. Howard Ave., and Faye Scruggs, 70, of 316 S. Howard Ave., both face attempted murder charges from the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office.

“One of the consequences of a failure to forgive is the impairment of our lives in the present. When we will not forgive we carry the burden of our anger as a debilitating load.” in the Lord’s Prayer we ask forgiveness from god to the same degree in which we forgive others their offenses against us, and we are reminded that to forgive or not forgive has consequences. one of the consequences of a failure to forgive is the impairment of our lives in the present. When we will not forgive we carry the burden of our anger as a debilitating load. It hampers our ability to be at peace with ourselves and with all others, and it becomes an impenetrable barrier to love itself – both human and divine.
Frederick's Design Studio
in every act of true forgiveness we cancel the debt (sin, trespass) that we believe is owed to us and we are set free from the bondage in which we have been held by our anger. that is not to say that every feeling is immediately healed and a broken relationship instantly restored, but it does mean that personal healing can finally begin for the one who forgives, with the assurance that whether one’s forgiveness is appreciated or even recognized by the one forgiven, God’s blessing and grace will be present for the one who chooses

Tryon Country Club celebrates 60th anniversary of 1951 exhibition match April 10 is the 60th anniversary of an important event in the history of Tryon Country Club (TCC). On April 10, 1951 an exhibition match featuring Slammin’ Sammy Snead and Hendersonville Country Club’s Bill Etheridge against TCC pro Ted Fox and Country Club of Spartanburg pro Joe Davis was held. The Hendersonville Times-News said “The appearance of Snead will give golf fans of this section an opportunity to see the game’s longest hitter in action.”
Of additional interest is local high school golfer at the time (and later TCC multiple time club champion) Fred Edwards Sr., who caddied for Sam Snead and recalls Snead hitting all nine greens in regulation and making nine straight pars. No details are available on the winning team. The year 1951 was a busy year for Snead as he won the PGA championship that year and also was the playing captain of the victorious Ryder Cup Team at Pinehurst in early November. – article submitted
hills, along with other national, state and community organizations, are leading a massive effort to highlight the importance of advance healthcare decision-making. This effort has culminated in the formal designation National Healthcare Decisions Day (NHDD). As participating organizations, St. Luke’s and Hospice are providing information and tools for the public to talk about their wishes with family, friends and healthcare providers, and execute written advance directives (healthcare power of attorney and living will) in accordance with North Carolina state laws. These resources are available at www.saintlukeshospital.com or www.nationalhealthcaredecisionsday.org. Specifically, on April 12 at 10:30 a.m., St. Luke’s and Hospice will welcome the public with “Coffee and Conversation: A Discussion About End of Life Issues.” The program will be held at Isothermal Community College, Columbus campus. There will be free information about advance care planning and advance directive forms. Dr. Andrew Kamell, attorney Ed Harrelson and Chaplain Dr. Bob Lair, along with social worker Meg Hoke, will lead a discussion on ad-
vance care planning and why you should make your future healthcare decisions known to family, friends and healthcare providers. There will also be staff there to assist in completing the forms. “Coffee and Conversation: A Discussion About End of Life Issues” will be held again at 6 p.m. at the Inman Public Library in Inman, S.C. Attorney David Ingalls will join the panel here. “As a result of National Healthcare Decisions Day, many more people in our community can be expected to have thoughtful conversations about their healthcare decisions and complete reliable advance directives to make their wishes known,” said Dr. Bob Lair, St. Luke’s Hospital chaplain and panel discussion member. “Fewer families and healthcare providers will have to struggle with making difficult healthcare decisions in the absence of guidance from the patient, and healthcare providers and facilities will be better equipped to address advance healthcare planning issues before a crisis and be better able to honor patient wishes when the time comes to do so.” To make a reservation or for more information about National Healthcare Decisions Day, call 828-894-7000 or 828-894-2408. – article submitted
