Track, entrance at equestrian park done Park's earliest use expected in 2012 by Jeff Byrd
Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:
The new, 96-acre Green Creek Equestrian Park will be a special venue for equestrian events, according to Tryon Riding & Hunt Club president Chuck Lingerfelt.
It will need to be, he said. “There are so many shows now,” he said. “Aiken and Southern Pines are renovating their facilities. There are two new Atlanta horse parks. People are picking and choosing.” However, the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club does have an ace
up its sleeve. The club, which will own and operate the new equestrian park, has attained five U.S. Equestrian Federation (USEF) A-rated hunter-jumper show dates for the new facility. (Continued on page 3)

Costs for new DSS building start off high Low bid for grading higher than expected by Leah Justice
Polk County is already looking at higher than expected costs for constructing a new department of social services (DSS) building. Bids for grading, the first
step in the project, came in at $164,890, not including an estimated $80,000 for paving and concrete. The county budgeted $170,000 for both grading and paving, putting the project at possibly $75,000 over budget already. The Polk County Board of Commissioners reviewed the
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
bids Monday and agreed to approve the low bid, submitted by Thompson Contractors. They also agreed to ask county engineer Dave Odom, the contractor and the architect to look at options to lower costs, such as moving the building and (Continued on page 6)

• Equestrian park (continued from page 1)
USEF has been the regulatory organization for U.S. equestrian sports since 1917. USEF allocates the rights to operate rated shows within each region, so that competing shows cannot be held on the same dates within so many hundreds of miles of each other. Tryon Riding & Hunt already owned two dates, and the club has secured three more from Classic Co. to showcase at the new venue. Equestrians attend regional, three- to five-day A-rated shows like those hosted by Tryon Riding & Hunt to win points towards higher level competitions, and show dates are attractive to all those “chasing points.” USEF AA-rated shows are larger, and offer double the points. Lingerfelt said the Green Creek park will be able to handle those but the Tryon Riding & Hunt plans “to work our way
The interior roadways at the Green Creek Equestrian Park are graded and plantings are in. (photo by Laura Weicker)
into that.” AAA-rated shows are international in scope and hosted only by the largest national centers, such as Wellington in Palm Beach, Florida and Madison Square Garden in New York. “The earliest we will be able to use those (A-rated) dates at the Green Creek Equestrian Park
is 2012,” Lingerfelt said. “We will decide this fall about 2012. Until the opening, our intent is to continue to run TR&HC events at FENCE (the Foothills Nature Equestrian Center in Tryon).” The construction work at the new park is well underway. The new track in Green Creek for the Block House Steeplechase has
been graded and seeded, Lingerfelt said. The track is 80-feet wide and 1.2 miles long. The Block House Steeplechase will be held on the one-mile long track at FENCE again next April, as it has since the 1980s, when it moved from the original Block (Continued on page 5)

July, August tax discounts
255 N. Trade St., Tryon

Before you Sell, Come See uS!
The Polk County Board of Commissioners reminded residents this week that discounts on tax bills are available during July and August. Property tax bills paid by the end of July will have a 2 percent discount; those paid in August will have a 1 percent discount. The bills are due by December 31. 2x10 7/14 Dollar General opens in Saluda FRDS-037674 National retailer Dollar General opened its newest store in North Carolina on Wednesday at 987 Ozone Drive in Saluda. The 9,014-square-foot store is bigger than most Dollar General stores. The new store employs seven people and features a layout designed to make shopping easier for customers. The majority of the store’s products are priced at $10 or less, with about 25 percent of the products priced at $1 or less.
N.C. schools get more flexibility in setting starting, ending dates for school year
The N.C. Senate voted 49-0 Thursday to tentatively approve a bill to give school administrators more flexibility to move the required starting and ending dates for the school year. A state law backed by the tourism industry requires schools open no earlier than Aug. 25 and close by June 10. The bill would let a school district open earlier in August if severe weather forced the closing of at least one school for all or part of eight days over a span of several years. Schools in the state’s mountains sought the change after snow closings lengthened the school year last month.
N.C. education spending per student
North Carolina ranks among the lowest in the nation in terms of education spending per student, according to a new Census report. The state spent $7,996 per student during the 2007-08 school year, more than only six other states: Mississippi ($7,901), Tennessee ($7,739), Oklahoma ($7,685), Arizona ($7,608), Idaho ($6,931) and Utah ($5,765). New York spent the most on each elementary, middle and high school student, at $17,173, while nationally, the per-pupil spending totaled $10,259, up 6.1 percent from the year before. Eighteen states spent above the national average while 32 spent below. Of the money North Carolina spends on its students, the bulk – 58.8 percent – comes from state revenue, while 32 percent comes from local taxes and 9.1 percent comes from the federal government.

House site. Lingerfelt said the club will review in September whether to move the race to Green Creek in 2012. “That will give the grass on the new track two years to fill in,” he said. There is no sprinkler system for the new grass, but Lingerfelt said William Arledge is running his 4,500-gallon watering truck over the track regularly to keep it green and growing. The crossings over the creek are installed and 4,000 hollies have been planted to create a hedge row around the track. “We have had no violations with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources,” Lingerfelt said. “They said they have not seen such a clean operation in years.” In addition, the Hwy. 9 entrance to the park is finished, with plantings installed, and the interior roadways are graded. “We hope to schedule a hunter event at the new park this fall,” Lingerfelt said. “Lillie Brown and Noreen Cothran are in charge of that.” Three-day event course designers have been reviewing the property to determine if there is room for an outside cross-country course. Three day events, which Lingerfelt said are a growing part of equestrian sports, involve dressage, cross-country and stadium jumping. “The designers who visited believe there is room for a cross country course,” Lingerfelt said, although nothing has been decided. Tryon Riding & Hunt Club is currently negotiating for a U.S. Department of Agriculture loan to pay for continued development of the property, Lingerfelt said. If the club does take a USDA loan, Lingerfelt said the intention is to use the money to build some barns, some show rings and infrastructure. According to the Green Creek Equestrian Park website, eventu-
ally the park will have six barns with 98 stalls each, a 400-by-400 foot Grand Prix Field, a 200-by300 foot Grand Hunter ring, in addition to an exercise area, three warm up areas, additional hunter and jumper areas, a show office, blacksmith and vet building, judges stands, and a food court and vending area. The park will be a “green” facility that will include rainwater catchment from the large barns to provide 38 percent of the facility’s water needs. To date, Lingerfelt said the costs for development have been paid with donations. Roger Smith and his wife, Jennifer, donated the 96 acres of land for the park in 2008. Roger and Jennifer Smith were the founding partners of Wellington Equestrian Partners, which operates large horse shows including the Winter Equestrian Festival in Florida. In filing for a zoning permit with Polk County in 2008, the Smiths said the facility in Green Creek would not be affiliated with Wellington Equestrian Partners.

Gasperson said the grading was done separately to take advantage of prime grading time. He said the county should learn a lesson from problems with grading work at the adult day care center that has pushed that project back considerably. Melton and Watson have said they think the building as planned is about 1,000 square feet too large. The architectural drawings were approved last month for an 11,950-squarefoot building, which will have approximately seven open offices for future growth. Walker, Gasperson and McDermott say they are planning for future growth. They said they don’t want the county to build the building and have it immediately be too small. They mentioned the Womack building, which was already too small for needed county offices as soon as it was completed. The county recently approved a project budget ordinance for $2 million for the new DSS building that is to be constructed on county owned property at the recreation complex in Mill Spring. Commissioners have said they do not want to spend $2 million on the project and are hoping with the slow economy that the project will come in under projections. The county expects to finance much of the project, with expectations of borrowing about $1.6 million.

Organizers of the 47th Annual Coon Dog Day in Saluda estimate attendance to have grown from 2009 and said the annual parade was bigger than in recent years. This year’s festival included 45 vendors, 13 food vendors and five amusement vendors. “So many people came up to me and told me that we had something for everyone -- and that’s what we wanted,” said Coon Dog Day Commissioner Leon Morgan. “One lady was here for the first time and she said, ‘If this isn’t America, I don’t know what is.’ I liked that.” The winners of the Coon Dog Day Parade Float contest were:

Environmental disaster of gas To the Editor: We r e c e n t l y w a t c h e d a documentary on HBO entitled GASLAND. We’re still reeling from the frightening information we’re trying to process. It was about the hydraulic fracturing used in producing natural gas across our nation. We thought everyone should be aware of the devastating effects caused by the production of “clean natural gas”. It made us realize the current oil spill in the gulf may be only the second biggest environmental disaster currently happening in the U.S. It is currently showing on HBO using “On Demand.” We encourage everyone to watch it. – Aviva Kahn and Julie Cantrell

Gibson finishes off Polk Co. 5k sweep Coon Dog race route is shorter than expected by John Clayton
asheville’s Katie gibson completed a sweep of polk County’s summer 5k runs saturday with the women’s overall victory in the Coon Dog 5k saturday morning in saluda. gibson, an emergency veterinarian, somewhat fittingly took home the Coon Dog 5k trophy a week after winning the inaugural Firecracker 5k in Columbus. the Coon Dog 5k returned to the town’s annual Coon Dog Day lineup after a two-year hiatus, and 175 runners competed in this year’s event. gibson turned in a time of 18 minutes, 25 seconds for the Coon Dog Day win, more than two minutes ahead of second-place Mollie Jones in the women’s division. Jones finished in 20:56. Margaret Manuel of Kennesaw, Ga., was third at 22:56. Daniel amick, also of asheville, was the overall men’s winner at 15:50, just 33 seconds ahead of orinthal striggles (16:23) of Newberry, S.C. Charlotte’s Gary Ball (18:24) finished third overall. Tryon’s Bailey Nager took first place in his 50-54 age group and 11th overall at 19:46. alice tongue of tryon also earned a first-place finish in her 25-29 age group, finishing the challenging mountain course in 23:50. In the women’s 45-49 age division, saluda’s Beth Harris (23:46) was second and Tryon’s Dee Dee Turner (29:44) took third behind Charleston’s Nita Timothy (23:11). the race was not without a

little controversy in its return to Coon Dog Day. Tryon’s Keaton Nager, who finished 19th overall, said runners were confused over some of the course markings and cut off a small portion of the course, turning the 5k run into more of a 4.7 or 4.8k. Nager said Amick actually slowed his pace searching for markers as he cruised to the overall victory by 30 seconds over striggles. “It was a little short,” Keaton said. “they didn’t have the course well marked, and we were supposed to go down (the) main street and take a right past the library. Instead, we ended up taking a right and going along the upper side of the school, so it was a little shorter than it was supposed to be.”

At a production meeting Monday night for the upcoming youth production of “Charlotte’s Web,” costumer Lynn Costine announced there’s a major lack of boys’ shirts not only in the Tryon Little Theater’s costume collection, but also in every thrift store in the area. That’s a big problem when you’ve got 14 boys to dress in the sort of shirts Opie Taylor would have worn on the old “Andy Griffith Show” - cotton shirts both long and short sleeve in plaids, checks, and solid colors, in boys sizes 8 to 14. If you have some old Opie Taylor shirts you no longer

The Tryon Little Theater/ Tryon Youth Center production of E. B. White’s classic children’s tale “Charlotte’s Web” plays TFAC July 29 and 30 at 8 p.m., and July 31 through August 1 at 3 p.m. For further information, call Carruth at 828859-8322. – article submitted

One man's trash is another's treasure Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local couple
happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more. Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store. At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale! The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.

Amanda started to take lessons from a local professional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia
entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dressage class and successfully
completed the cross-country course and stadium jumping. They ended up high point!

The Tryon Youth Center’s 22nd annual car raffle will not likely take place as scheduled, July 31st. The raffle has been postponed in the past, so ticket sales could continue long enough to make the fundraiser profitable. But this year, sales have yet to come close. Only 200 tickets have been sold. Youth Center director Franklin McKaig says at least 500 must be sold to hold the raffle. The prize this year, as in the past, is a new BMW worth up to $40,000. The winner can choose to take $25,000 in cash instead. at the most, 800 tickets will be sold. One in 800 on a $100 ticket is pretty good odds compared to the millions entered in national promotional sweepstakes. Not only that, but this is the single fundraiser for the Tryon Youth Center each year and is vital to the center’s annual budget. The center, located on Hwy. 176 in the pacolet Valley, is home to athletic team fundraisers, Boy Scouts meetings, church youth groups, high school dances, and school and community fundraisers. Rehearsals for summer youth and Tryon Little Theater shows have taken place there, pTa meetings, civic organizations meetings and socials. In addition, the facility is rented out for Foothills Duplicate Bridge, as well as private parties, weddings and receptions. The Youth Center purchased its building in 1984 and used to hold all Tryon High School dances there. Over the years, with the proceeds from the raffle, the building has been improved with energy efficient windows, a new parking area, heating system, roof, a deck overlooking the river and much more. If you want to try your luck, and support one of our community institutions, tickets are sold at TJ’s Cafe, Tryon pharmacy, the Bulletin, Frog & Swan, Nature’s Storehouse, Town & Country Realtors, Caro-Mi, Tryon Federal, and The Book Shelf as well as from Franklin McKaig. good luck you may have. goodwill is assured.— JB

Interior designers, decorators and architects especially appreciate Cooper’s InDD - page 17 0tfn0COnwork Derek Hennigar’s “line” of furniture is called “Ordinary Furniture.” Hennigar designs an entire series of chairs and rockers, and also what he calls kybos, wood boxes twistedly stacked on top of one another which appear to defy gravity.

What do area residents Derek Hennigar, Andy Costine, Brian Fireman, Joe Cooper and Bill Crowell all have in common? They are artists who create what Cooper calls, “functional art,” practical art you can use: furniture, tables, chairs, clocks, bed boards, rockers and more. They are all participating in this year’s Art Trek Tryon, presented by the Upstairs Artspace. Their studios will open to Trekkers free of charge on Saturday, July 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, July 25 from 12 to 5 p.m. Each of these artists creates unique work of heirloom quality. Andy Costine creates wood art that is practical. Costine blends different varieties of woods and “ideas” so that the result is a juxtaposition of both the rugged wood in its natural state, and precisely cut pieces, inset or inlaid into that ruggedness. (Al Gore commissioned
and has three Costine tables.) Bill Crowell, famously of Saluda Forge, creates metal work: tables, chairs, fireplace screens, headboards for beds, stair railings, trellises, and, if you drive around the area and happen upon a crafted gate, it is likely Bill Crowell’s craftsmanship. (Personal favorite: gate with heron -- Pacolet Valley.) Brian Fireman is a furniture designer specializing in handcrafted contemporary furniture. Fireman uses the wood’s individual qualities – color, texture, grain direction – to influence the final form of his pieces. His work may be “furniture,” but it is also stand-alone art. Sculpture you can use. Fireman’s work is a confluence of contemporary art and structural design. Joe Cooper works chiefly in bronze and copper. He calls his creations “functional art” and designs and produces lighting,
