The Tryon Depot will soon be starting a new life, but it will look a lot like a return to a previous life. The Town of Tryon approved a lease a couple of months ago with Andy Millard of Main Street Financial Group in which Millard agreed to restore the depot at his expense and move his business there in exchange for a $1 per year lease “I'm excited for 20 years. about it.

Correction/Clarification

The article on the new foothills area map on p. 6 of the Thursday, July 22 Bulletin should have said the map project came out of the Foothills Economic Partnership, not the Landrum Business Association. Melinda Young of Polk County Travel and Tourism and Madelon Wallace have been the moving force behind the project. Young and Wallace are asking and getting funding from all four towns (and business associations), the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce, the Tryon/ Polk County Board of Realtors and Polk County. Young and Wallace have also been working with the map company and have been meeting with all the entities involved. The project funds will be channeled through the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce. in Tryon. Shannon Slater, 828894-7000.

Changes to North Carolina’s liquor store laws should build confidence in taxpayers because there will be a better eye on store operations and the people that run them, Gov. Beverly Perdue said Wednesday as she signed the reforms into law. The bill, developed after several months of hearings and negotiations by Perdue’s office, local government lobbyists and state and local ABC board leaders, makes clear local board members are barred from accepting gifts from vendors, must follow set conflict-of-interest rules and must take ethics training. Local ABC boards, which are essentially independent agencies, now must follow procedural rules that counties and cities must follow to create an annual budget. Salaries for store administrators are capped, with some exceptions, and boards must meet performance standards or stores could close of boards merged. Reforms gained momentum following news reports of the high salaries of local board administrators in New Hanover County and meals paid for by liquor companies to local ABC leaders, particularly one $12,700 gathering in Mecklenburg County. Much of the law takes effect Oct. 1.

Blue Cross cash reserves

LDRU-023815

Columbus Town Council agreed last week to draft an annexation guideline that will put on paper what the town is seeking in terms of future growth. The idea was posed by councilmember Ernie Kan, who said after Foster Creek has been developed, the town may not want to grow any further. Councilman Michael Gage said his policy is to voluntarily annex only properties contiguous to the town, which Kan said should be in the town’s plan. Town manager Jonathan Kanipe offered to draft a guideline for town council to approve.

Blue Cross plans are sitting on huge cash reserves while continuing to sock customers with hefty rate hikes, a national consumer advocacy group charges. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina has stockpiled a record surplus of $1.4 billion and lawmakers should force the insurer to use some of the money to help control surging premiums, Consumers Union urged in a study released Thursday. This year, the company raised rates for individual coverage an average of 12.24 percent. The report examines the reserves of 10 nonprofit Blue Cross health plans across the country. As with other Blue plans, the reserves at this state’s Blue Cross are well above industry standards, the report’s authors say, and more than what’s needed to protect the insurer’s financial health and ensure that claims are paid.

Prior to the injury, he said he routinely rode 400 miles per week to prepare for Ironman events. “It’s been tough to be on the bike a lot the past couple of years (Continued on page 9)

wanting to renovate and restore its depot for years, but funding was never available. Town officials have said the partnership is a win/win situation: the depot will be restored and will then be able to contribute to the town's economic development. Work began in the past couple of weeks on taking the siding off the 1906 building. “I’m excited about it,” Millard says. “I intend to create a building, a facility that the town can be proud of.” Millard is planning for the building to consist of three offices, a reception area and the “freight” room that will be used as a public facility where the public can rent space for gatherings and the town can hold events. The freight room will include a catering kitchen. Plans call for the freight room to serve as a depot museum as well, with historical pictures and memorabilia from Tryon’s historic train days. Millard is asking the public’s help in finding old photographs and other items from the depot’s historic days.

“I’m excited about the freight room,” Millard says. “It’s going to be really, really nice.” He explains that all the drop down ceilings are being taken out and the freight room ceiling will go all the way to the roof with its original beams. Mike Karaman is the general contractor, with specialists being used to remove asbestos found in the building. The project began with lots of surprises, such as asbestos in the siding and one of the rooms. Once the siding was taken off, crews discovered that the entire building was constructed in lumber that was treated in creosote, which was dripping. There were also ¼-inch gaps between the boards. The building had no insulation, so the next phase is placing spray foam insulation in the building. Millard also discovered that the roof has to be replaced along with the fascia and the soffit underneath. “Pretty much everything that can be replaced needs to be replaced,” Millard said last week. “The last minor renovation done to the building was in the 1990s.” Millard paid the town to rent a truck to remove some of the

demolition materials. Once complete, the building will also have two handicapped accessible bathrooms. The original depot had two bathrooms and two separate waiting bays, one for whites near the tracks and one for blacks in the rear room that today faces the depot gardens. Millard says one part of initial

construction was exciting when they discovered that they will be able to preserve some of the original terrazzo flooring in the building, which is concrete with flecks of stone in it. “It is a tremendous project,” Millard says, “but I’m hoping to have it complete by the end of this year.”

with the injury,” he said. “So, this was a good chance to get on the bike and start getting back into shape, and it was great to be around other athletes.” Heintzberger said he hopes to return to competition next year. But he said he also wants to return to the Ride to Remember as well. “I got in a little late this time, so I didn’t get to do as much fundraising as I would’ve liked,” he said. “Hopefully, next year, I can jump in a little earlier. “The goal next year is 100 riders for $100,000. I want to be a part of that.” The Ride to Remember will be accepting donations through its website at http://aridetoremember.kintera.org/ through July 26.

Helping those oiled birds on the Gulf Coast We have all seen those photographs and video clips coming from the Gulf of Mexico; whether it is Brown Pelicans floundering around in a sea of brown slimy oil or Least Terns flying ashore to incubate their eggs unwittingly causing a probable nest failure. by Simon Unquestionably Thompson this is a massive environmental disaster and these are just the effects that we can see. There’s a bigger problem under the surface as this mass of oil spreads and continues to obliterate many species of marine life. The list of birds affected by this tragedy continues to grow, and while the majority of the birds treated are Brown pelicans, other species now coming in to be cleaned include White Pelican, Laughing Gull, Sandwich, Common and Least Terns, Black Skimmer, several shorebirds and even Roseate Spoonbill. To be honest, there are few birds, including all of our coastal seabirds, shorebirds and even marsh species, that won’t be affected by the spreading oil.

The Bird Box

It’s easy to sit back and just comment on these television reports, rue our dependence on oil - foreign or otherwise and do nothing. But there are thousands of people out there helping and giving a lot of their personal time and energy to combat this ignorant destruction of our native wildlife, including a large number here in Western North Carolina. We at Wild Birds Unlimited are pleased to announce our association with Wildlife Rescue of Western North Carolina and the International Bird Rescue Research Center and are acting as a drop-off point for vital supplies and medical equipment to help with the wildlife rescue operations in Louisiana. The next rescue mission is imminent and several volunteers will be leaving from Asheville on the July 28th. Local wildlife rehabilitator, Sherry Johnson, has just returned from Plaquemines Parish in southern Louisiana, where she worked with the Audubon Society and

International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC). Sherry and her husband, Stewart Johnson, will return to the Gulf on July 30th with the items donated, so please give what you can. We at Wild Birds Unlimited, both in Hendersonville and at our store in Asheville, are taking donations up to Thursday, July 28th. We need everything from paper towels to plastic tubs. The complete list is on the home page of our website: www.asheville. wbu.com where all of the other pertinent information is also

outlined. I may even be heading down there myself to help out- we shall see! Thanks very much indeed and if you have any questions, just call us at the store on 828-687-9433. Simon Thompson has lived in WNC for the past 16 years. He owns and operates his own birding tour company, Ventures Birding Tours. WWW.bird ventures.com. If you have birding questions, please drop Simon an e-mail at the above site.

He was a loving husband, father and grandfather. But God needed another Angel. He fought a long hard fight. It's been ten years and it still seems like yesteray. But I know he isn't hurting now. There are no tears in Heaven. We all sure do miss him and I'll join him when God needs another Angel.

Right : Look s sneaky, huh? Well, of course. This is Templeton the Rat, something of a wheelerdealer among the many animals in E. B. White’s beloved “Charlotte’s Web.” Actress Scarlett Mosseller, who last year scored a triumph as Gollum in “The Hobbit,” is bringing her skills this summer to the role of Templeton. “Charlotte’s Web” plays July 29 and 30 at 8 p.m. and July 31 and August 1 at 3 p.m. For tickets call 828-859-2466.

Cover up…

Above: As the rest of the company takes turns onstage during the costume parade at the Tryon Fine Arts Center to have their costumes approved for the upcoming production of “Charlotte’s Web,” Will Costine is quite comfortable dressed as spider Charlotte’s dear friend, the charming and energetic young pig Wilbur. Quite a good interpretation of the four-legged Wilbur seen in Disney’s film of this beloved E. B. White children’s tale, seen above right. (photo submitted)
