Foolin’ around in Tryon An account has been established at First Citizens Bank in Landrum for Heather Cash, 21, who was recently diagnosed with her second brain tumor. Heather is the daughter of Det. BJ Bayne with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. The account is in Heather Cash’s name at First Citizens. Cash is scheduled for surgery next month at Emory University in Atlanta. Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:

Though today is April Fool’s Day the foolish festivities in Tryon really kick off this Saturday, April 6 in downtown Tryon with the annual April Fool’s Festival. There will be a goofy parade of characters, a classic car show, food, vendors, games, a trashion show and of course, the annual outhouse races. The day opens with a Zumbathon at 10 a.m. to raise donations for Thermal Belt Outreach and ends with the trashion show.

Columbus plans for $1.5m of water needs over 5 years Population expected to grow more than 1.5 times by 2035 by Leah Justice

Columbus Town Council got a detailed look of its water sys-

tem during a meeting March 21 through a preliminary engineering report and comprehensive water model and master plan that will guide the expansion of the town’s water source to meet demands beyond the year 2035. Columbus was awarded a grant to conduct a hydraulic study of the town’s system that includes a

capital improvement plan of needs for the next 20 years. The report includes projections of future customers, mainly due to the development of Foster Creek Preserve. In 2010, Columbus’ population was 999 and with Foster Creek Preserve, projections (Continued on page 4)

are for the population to grow to 2,636 by 2035. Water customers in 2010 were 1,229 residential and projections are for that number to grow to 1,674 by 2035. The town hired W.K. Dickson to do the water studies with Brian Tripp with W.K. Dickson attending council’s meeting on March 21. Tripp said the town’s average water usage is 175 gallons per day per person, which includes all the water one person would use in one day at home, work and all other places. Tripp also said in the next 20 years the town needs to address its 500,000-gallon water storage tank to meet demands by either replacing it or adding a second tank. “It is an aging asset,” Tripp said. Tripp also said overall the town’s water system is good, but the town does have areas that have problems meeting fire flow demands. In the next five fiscal years, the town’s capital improvement plan includes the completion of fire hydrant maintenance and replacement, the completion of the installation of town water meters with radio read meters and upgrading the existing water line serving Beechwood Drive to 6-inch lines. The town’s five-year plan includes $45,000 in meter replacements, $16,000 in hydrant replacements, $280,000 in replacing Beechwood Drive lines, $220,250 to replace Blanton Street water lines to six-inch lines for fire flow improvements from E. Mills to E. Constance and another $348,700 on Blanton Street from Park to

Polk commissioners discuss requiring fire/rescue audits by Leah Justice

Polk County addressed a concern from one commissioner during its March 18 meeting regarding audits for the Polk County Rescue Squad and the county’s six fire departments. The Polk County Board of Commissioners met March 18

and heard from commissioner Ray Gasperson who said last year the county granted the Columbus Fire Department an increase in its tax rate (one cent), but also had requests from the Mill Spring Fire Department and rescue squad. He said one of the reasons the Mill Spring and rescue requests were

denied had to do with lack of recent audits. Gasperson said for all he knows the county will be seeing other requests during this year’s budget process and wanted to know how other commissioners felt about requiring audits for the departments, or the county paying or helping to pay for those audits. Polk County Finance Director Sandra Hughes said she received Tryon Fire Department’s audit for 2011 and is waiting on its 2012 audit. Saluda doesn’t have an audit every year anymore, she said, with the last one being in 2006. The last audit she has from all the fire departments and rescue is from 2006, when the county paid to have those done. Columbus and Tryon Fire Departments do annual audits. Gasperson said he spoke with Columbus Fire Chief Bobby Arledge who is a strong advocate of annual audits. “(Arledge) said it helps to avoid any mismanagement of funds and takes care of safety concerns and how money is spent,” Gasperson said. Gasperson said an audit costs about $10,000 a year for a fire department. Gasperson also said the Mill Spring Fire Department is getting an audit as well but the county does not have a report yet. “I’m asking for discussion,” Gasperson said. “How do we view audits from these different organizations? I’d like to have annual audits even if we had to help supplement (the costs); either helping or an increase in tax rates for annual audits. No one is making accusations that there’s been any mismanagement.” Gasperson asked other commissioners how they respond when the county has different organizations asking for increased tax rates. Commissioner chair Michael Gage asked Hughes what is law? Hughes said the county is required to be an oversight but is not required to have an audit.

“We have to be assured that the funds are being spent according to the purpose,” Hughes said. Hughes also said the county’s oversight is not so much over the fire departments because they have districts but the county does have oversight for the rescue squad. Commissioner Tom Pack said he was a little confused because last year during budget discussions, he and commissioner Ted Owens tried to get the county to have audits, or pay for the departments’ audits and Gasperson was opposed to it. Gasperson responded he was never opposed to it. Owens said he has to agree with Pack. He said he and Pack tried to get a lot of things done last year (when Owens and Pack were the minority on the board) and all of a sudden the same things come up this year. Owens also said the county has a tax commission commissioners appoint and they are the committee that should audit their fire departments. The finance office also looks at it so Owens said he doesn’t know what else the county needs. Saluda Fire Chief Shane Bradley said audits are a big expense and he would hate to go to the citizens and ask for an increase just for audits. “We’ve had them in the past and since budgets have gotten so tight we have an outside accountant,” Bradley said. “I’d hate to see us ask for an increase just to ask for an audit.” Commissioner Keith Holbert asked Bradley if there has ever been any money missing when an accountant looked at their books and if he knows of any other departments having money missing. Bradley said no on his department and not to his knowledge for any other department. Holbert has placed fire audits on the agenda for tonight’s commissioner meeting which begins at 7 p.m. in the meeting room of the Womack building in Columbus.

The Freeman House on Green Blades tour of homes You are about to witness a stunning two-story home that was originally built in 1906 by Mr. James Freeman for his family. The Freemans continued to live in this home until 1918. History tells us that for a time this home was a boarding house, possibly operated by Mrs. Freeman. For the past 23 years, Jeff and Helen Byrd have owned The Freeman House and have gradually remodeled it with elements of functionality and luxury, while maintaining a traditional feel. Walking up to the house you will experience the newly added (possibly re-added) southern touch of a full-length front porch. This porch was designed by local architect, Dean Trakas and built by Byrd and his fatherin-law. Just imagine sitting in a rocker, on a warm summer day while enjoying a nice cool mint julep.

No, no, you can’t stop; the tour has just begun. Enter the front portal to view a lovely baby grand piano, inviting fireplace and then notice the carved wooden staircase leading to the second story. The home features a formal living room and dining room with an added kitchen of proud standing that the Byrds created by using materials from different sources. The brick behind the gas range, as well as those used in forming the hearth for the gas fireplace in the eating area, was brick saved when larger doors were installed in the Tryon Daily Bulletin building in downtown Tryon. The octagonal design was the concept of another wellknown local architect, Holland Brady. Take special notice of the kitchen flooring, which features brick and heart pinewood saved when a wall was removed at the

time the kitchen was created. All of these beautiful elements, in addition to windows surrounding the entire kitchen, evolved into a kitchen of every woman’s dream. Another improved feature is the back hallway, which was the servant’s hallway where several doors were removed opening up an alcove inviting a lovely spot for the grandfather’s clock. The latest renovation was in 2011 for Byrd’s office on the second level. The ceiling was removed creating an A-frame and open, roomy feel. This lovely home, once given the name “Chokoloskee” (an American Indian word meaning “Old House”), has interesting, eclectic furnishing, all of which have a personal story, originating from places the Byrds have visited and chose to include in their lives. The deep, rich colors used on the walls certainly

enhance the rooms and are much in keeping with today’s color schemes. The Tour of Homes, presented as a fundraiser by the Green Blades Garden Club, will be held on Saturday, April 13. Hours of the tour are 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at PJ Fashions and Expressions Florist in Landrum, Down to Earth Garden Center in Tryon, The Garden Patch and the Flower Cottage in Columbus, Kathleen’s Gallery in Saluda, The Wrinkled Egg in Flat Rock and the Silver Fox in Hendersonville. On the day of the tour, tickets will be sold at each of the homes as well as the Park on Trade. Parking will be available at Stone Hedge. Vans for transportation to the Lake Lanier homes will be available at the Tryon Antique Mall Shopping Center near the Lake Lanier entrance. Parking for the Byrd’s house will

Panache Boutique opening in downtown Tryon April 2 by Samantha Hurst

Pops of summer color catch one’s eye as you walk down N. Trade Street in Tryon and come across the soon to open Panache Boutique. Art of Indulgence spa owner Lynn Cabral plans to open her doors to customers eager to find new clothing options on April 2. “I originally went to college for fashion so I’m going back to what I first loved,” Cabral said of opening the boutique. Panache Boutique, with its almost 1,200 square feet, will cater to both juniors and women customers looking for fresh items to add to their wardrobe. Cabral said her plan is to offer styles that suit the trends of each season, such as coral jeans or mint green dresses, as well as classic staples such as T-shirts and tank tops, and dressier options for women. “Most of what we will offer will be day dresses, nothing too formal, but things you could wear casually or dress up with accessories,” Cabral said. Panache will also offer leggings with control tops and JudyP tops, which are double lined on the front to hide undergarment lines. Cabral said her aim is to keep items affordable too, with most dresses ranging from $30-50. Cabral said she hoped to add to the quality shops already located in downtown Tryon and that she was excited to be a part of the effort to enliven the N. Trade Street shopping experience. “I think it’s finally getting there with all the renovations going on and new shops and even restaurants opening,” Cabral said. “Tryon is such a beautiful town and I think it’s good to have more shopping available so people will stay awhile.”

Panache Boutique, a clothing and accessories shop for juniors and women, will open Tuesday, April 2. Its hours of operation will be Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. For more information about the boutique, call 828-859-5552.

Landrum boys and girls track carry on strong season The Landrum High School girls and boys track and field teams continue to perform well this season with both teams winning March 26 at home versus some strong competition. The boys team scored 162 points, far ahead of second place Chapman High School which had 114. The Landrum girls team finished with 134.5 points, followed by runner up Carolina Home School with 122.5. Landrum High School Girls discus thrower Daisha Whitmire remained undefeated this year winning the discus for the fifth meet in a row. Whitmire broke the Landrum girls discus record in the first meet of the season at Broome High School, and broke the record again in the second meet at Christ Church Episcopal School in Greenville early in March with a throw of 96’ 5”. Whitmire also came in second in the girls shot put. Other girls winners included Reydiance Whiteside in the girls triple jump and Shelby Morris in the girls high jump. Morris also placed second in the pole vault. Other Landrum girls second place finishers included Alison Jouan in the 400 hurdles and high jump, Ciera Belue in the long jump and Skyler Wofford in the girls triple jump. The girls 4 x 100 relay team consisting of Miranda Stallings,

Kanari Littlejohn, Savanah Bengston and Heather Turley also came in second place. Winners for the Landrum boy’s team included Sam Robinson in the boys 110 meter hurdles, Derek Brittain in the boys shot put and Aaron Bryant in the boys long jump. Paul Miller won in the boy’s 400-meter hurdles and came in second in the 110 hurdlers. Other Landrum boys second place finishers included Jo Jo Wilkins in the 100 meters, Thomas Sparks in the 400 meters, Ray Miller in the shot put, the 4 x 100 relay team of Aaron Bryant, Jo Jo Wilkins, Anthony Anderson and Jacob Gibson, the boys 4 x 800 relay team of Troy Hodge, Thomas Sparks, Kevin Human and Ben Boatwright; and the 4 x 400 relay team of Thomas Sparks, Kyle Joiner, Paul Miller and Thomas Dewberry. Both Landrum team wins came with several key athletes missing because of a school trip to Europe. “This (key athletes missing) shows the amount of depth that both the boys and girls track teams have. Landrum High School has always been known for having good teams with plenty of athletes who can score at each meet,” said head girls coach John Sparks. The Landrum Boys track team is undefeated at this point in the season in varsity competition with a record of 20 – 0. The Landrum

Errors lose soccer match for Polk against W. Hendersonville by Chris Hurst

Polk County soccer lost to West Hendersonville 2-1 Thursday, March 28. Although the girls got off to a great start, errors allowed both W. Hendersonville goals.

After the game, Coach Charles would praise parts of the game, while regretting others. “The first 15 minutes of play was ours,” he said, “but after that we would play real well at times, but at others we would

make mental mistakes. I told them before the game that West Hendersonville was a really good team, and when you play a team of that caliber, you can’t have any mistakes.” Although West Henderson-

ville played a great game, both goals could have been stopped, the coach thought. “The first goal, the other girl did really well getting it to (Continued on page 15)

Brock was one of five artist featured at the opening. Brock’s work invites the viewer to dive into a completely fictional world where colorful creatures may not be as they seem. Imaginative, whimsical and sometimes very strange, Brock’s paintings and illustrations throw a splash of color into a sometimes very routine life. Brock also does realism art, particularly of animals.

Brock has a BFA in Studio Arts from Appalachian State University and has studied Fine Arts at Mitchell College. Brock has been awarded two merit awards for 2005 and 2006 Art Expo at Appalachian State University. She has shown her work at Wilcox Emporium in Boone, N.C. and the Catherine Smith Gallery in Boone, N.C., and was a 2007 Tryon Sculpturama participant. In 2008, she was a Blue Moon Brewery art finalist and artist of the month at Persimmon’s Bistro in Landrum, S.C., and in 2012, Brock donated some of her work to the Pacolet Area Conservancy for use in their first “For
