TFAC announces new season, reviews plans for future by John Clayton
As the Tryon Fine Arts Center prepares for its just-announced 2010-11 season, the people who operate it are preparing for a new chapter in the 40-year history of the center. The center is under the leadership of Executive Director Beth Child, a former concert pianist in the arts arena with non-profit experience in the business world. Child came on board seven months ago and found TFAC in a state of flux. A fundraising drive to construct a new building was cut short by the recession and changes at the top of TFAC and at a meeting this fall, Child and TFAC’s board of directors must decide where both the organization and its fundraising efforts go from here. “There’s been an evolution here,” said Child. “We have to ask ourselves, ‘What does the commu(Continued on page 6)

The process of reclassifying the Lake Adger watershed could heat up again next spring, according to Polk County engineer David Odom, of Odom & Associates Engineering, Inc. Odom was asked about the reclassification effort last week by Polk County commissioner Tommy Melton. Polk County is seeking a Water Supply Level III classification for the Green River watershed, which covers 87,470
acres, 36,825 acres in Polk County and 50,645 acres in Henderson County. After several joint meetings with Polk County commissioners and a public hearing in Henderson County, the Henderson County Board of Commissioners in September, 2009 voted 3-2 to oppose Polk County’s reclassification initiative. Nonetheless, the process has been moving forward. The N.C. Division of Water Quality has been taking water samples from the Green River and
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
has been running tests for the past year, as part of the standard process of reclassification, Odom said. The state has one more sample to take in September. That last sample will be analyzed and then the division will write its report by the end of the year, Odom said. That report will be reviewed, and the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources Public Water Supply Section will sign off. (Continued on page 6)

Editor's note: Below is the second of a three-part series in which local attorney Lee Stockdale shares stories of his father's friendship and professional association with President John F. Kennedy. Look for the last part of the series in Friday's Bulletin.
by Lee Stockdale
JFK was sworn in as president on January 20, 1961. Four days later, Dad sent Senator George Smathers a letter and with it he enclosed “a copy of a memorandum we have recently discussed. We regret that we were unable to get this information to you sooner and sincerely hope that the delay has not been damaging.” The three-page memorandum, author unknown, began: “It is now the object of the American foreign policy to bring about the downfall of the Cuban Communist regime without resort to U.S. armed intervention.… The preservation of the political integrity of the countries of the western hemisphere require[s] its immediate elimination. Measures must be devised that will cause this with the least bloodshed.” JFK named Dad ambassador

Tryon Fine Arts Center 2010-11 season Main Stage performances Oct. 3: Paul Taylor’s “Taylor 2.” Back by popular demand, this group of six dancers packed the hall in 2007. They continue to garner rave reviews, touring the globe with the same athleticism, humor, and range of emotions demonstrated in Taylor’s larger dance company. Because of their strong interest in teaching and community outreach, they are offering a master class for young people the morning following the performance. Nov. 19: New Orleans’ own “Hot 8 Brass Band” will enliven the stage with the fiery and energetic magic of New Orleans street music, including the traditional second line parades. Catapulted to fame in Spike Lee’s original documentary on Hurricane Katrina, they once again appear in his second film just released on HBO to honor the 5th Anniversary of the destruction. Many of the band members began playing together in high school and have endured the tragedy of losing members to gang violence. A special school performance will take place earlier that day.

The Division of Water Quality should be ready to place the reclassification of the Green River on its environmental management committee agenda next spring, Odom said. The City of Saluda, which will also be affected by reclassification, has already given its blessing. It would be best if Henderson County also would give its approval, Odom said, but the state could act without it. “We just have to wait and see,” Odom said. “We have to go through the process and see.

Having recorded seven critically acclaimed albums and performed around the world, “Danu” exhibits mastery of the flute, tin whistle, fiddle, button accordion, bouzouki, and Irish and English vocals.

watershed reclassification can be approved without letters of support from all the affected property owners. It has been done.” Polk County decided to purchase Lake Adger in May, 2008 from Northbrook Carolina Hydro LLC, and closed the $1.6 million purchase late last year. The county plans to seek the proper permits to draw as much as 8 million gallons per day from the Green River, using an intake on Lake Adger. The county’s longterm plans call for construction of a “multiyear, multi-phase water system” to serve county residents, most of whom, 80 percent, get their water from wells now.
on a WS-III classification, calling the Green River “a gem” which should be protected. The county set aside $10,000 last year and has budgeted another $200,000 this year to create a fund for future repairs to the Turner Shoals Dam on Lake Adger. “The county needs to set aside at least $200,000 per year for many years,” said county manager Ryan Whitson, as engineering reports have estimated future repairs running into the millions will be required. However, those engineering reports also said that to build an impoundment the size of Lake Adger today would cost over $30 million.
In an early phase, the county plans to build a 1- or 2-MGD treatment plant on property at the county transfer station in Mill Spring, expandable for future needs. One or two million gallons per day will be plenty large enough to serve the county’s needs for the forseeable future, commissioners have said. No water can be drawn from Lake Adger, however, until the Green River is reclassified as a public water supply. Polk County originally asked the state to reclassify the Green River watershed as a Water Supply Class IV, which would have affected only the acreage in Polk County. However, the state insisted

Retired trooper injured when his motorcycle hit deer A retired North Carolina Highway Patrol sergeant was seriously injured when he hit a deer while riding his motorcycle near the Pea Ridge Rd. exit on Hwy. 74. The incident occurred last Friday at about 11:30 p.m. Mike Benfield of Dixie Trail, Rutherford County, was airlifted to Mission Hospitals in Asheville.
Saluda sewer customers who have wells will soon be asked either to place a meter on their wells or to pay the city’s rate of 60 gallons per day per resident for sewage treatment. Saluda City Council Monday asked city administrator Erny Williams to contact at least four sewer customers who are not on city water but have wells. Williams was directed to give those customers a choice of either placing a meter on their wells or paying the rate of 60 gallons per household member per day for their sewage service, according to the city’s water and sewer policy. Williams explained that the city’s policy needs to be fol-
According to the Forest City Digital Courier, Benfield was riding his 1993 Honda motorcycle when a deer ran out in front of him; he hit the deer and then crashed off the right side of the road. Benfield was treated in the neuro-trauma intensive care unit at Mission. His current condition is unknown.

lowed so the city knows what is being discharged into the system. He said this is needed to be sure state regulations for safe drinking water are met. The city’s policy states that customers on city sewer must also be on city water, but officials said on Monday that clause was placed in there for new utilitiy customers. The customers now on sewer but not water were grandfathered in when the policy was started. The customers will be contacted and asked to meet with Williams regarding their options. Officials estimated that installing a well meter will cost about $2,500, which the homeowner will be required to pay for.

Tryon Concert Association announces first concert of season The opening concert of the Tryon Concert Association’s 56th season is scheduled for 8 p.m. on Saturday, October 16, at the Tryon Fine Arts Center. The program will feature the St Lawrence String Quartet, one of Canada’s premier chamber music ensembles. This world-class group has performed close to 2,000 times during the past 20 years. It is noted for its imaginative and spontaneous music-making. The quartet’s members have served as resident instructors at the Julliard School and the universities of Yale, Toronto, Hartford and Stanford. They have also created residency programs for the Disney Institute in Orlando and the Carnegie Hall Foundation in
New York. The group’s recordings on the EMI label include the works of great artists of the Romantic era as well as 20th century composers. In 2003, the quartet received two Grammy nominations for its landmark “Yiddishbuk” CD, the music of Ozvaldo Golijov. In 2001 the group received the Juno Award (Canada’s Grammy) for its release of Schumann’s first and third quartets. The quartet’s Tchaikovsky CD is regarded as a “benchmark” recording of these works.

Wolverines, Cards debut in jamborees PCHS pulling double duty
LHS hosts R-S Central, heads to ‘Ironcity’ event
by john Clayton
polk County High head football coach Bruce ollis said his team is in good condition thanks to an offseason of hard work. that theory will be put to the test starting tonight at 6 o’clock with the Wolverine Jamboree hosted by the Wolverines at pCHs and then again saturday with the 6th annual Border showcase Classic at shelby. Meanwhile, Landrum faces rs Central in a scrimmage tonight beginning at 6 p.m. before heading to the Ironcity Football Classic to face southside Christian Friday night. tonight’s Wolverine Jamboree features four teams, all of which will be on the field at the same time in a controlled scrimmage. offenses will work from the 40-yard-lines in toward the goal. “each team will get about 45 snaps on offense and about 45 on defense – that’s about three quarters,” said ollis. the Wolverines will turn around and play one half of football saturday in the Border showcase against south Carolina Class 4a power Byrnes. “I’m really pleased with our conditioning. It’s very good,” ollis said. “teams that are well conditioned win some early games, and I think we’ve done that in the past.” Winning isn’t necessarily the issue in preseason jamborees, but teams can find momentum early if they perform well. ollis said he does not expect starting quarterback andre overholt, the preseason Western Highlands Conference player of the Year, to participate in the

Landrum will face a familiar foe when it tees up a football at 6:30 Friday night at the Ironcity Kickoff Jamboree at Blacksburg (s.C.) High school. Friday night’s jamboree is just part of a big weekend of high school preseason football that actually begins tonight with the Wolverine Jamboree at polk County High school. pCHs will also be involved in the 6th-annual Border showcase Classic saturday night at shelby. the Cardinals will face region II-a foe southside Christian in the second of four halves of football to be played in Friday night’s jamboree. LHs also hosts rs-Central at 6 p.m. today in a controlled scrimmage. In other two-quarter contests at the Ironcity Jamboree, Chesnee will face A.L. Brown in the first contest, Broome will meet King’s Mountain in the third contest and Blacksburg plays McCormick in the nightcap. LHs head coach russell Mahaffey said he would prefer not to play a region competitor that he will see again during the regular season, but the need to see live action prior to the season outweighed those concerns. “this is the way it came out in the meeting we had, so we’ll do it,” Mahaffey said. “Blacksburg actually plays (southside Christian) twice during the regular season, so I agreed to play them.” Mahaffey said standouts during the first week of practice have included running back Cole McDowell and linebacker Kaleb Kuykendal.

Obituaries N.C. Mountain State fair competition deadlines approaching William F. Gordon Whether you have been preparing a calf for the show ring or fine tuning a favorite recipe for this year’s N.C. Mountain State Fair, you need to get your entry forms filled out soon. The entry deadlines are fast approaching for most competitions. Entries for the llama shows must be in by August 13, and the deadline for the remaining livestock shows is August 18. Entries for most of the music and dance competitions are due August 20 or August 30, and the deadline for most of the cooking, crafting or other general competitions is August 30. Residents can get an entry form by picking up a copy of the premium book at the Western N.C. Ag Center in Fletcher or the WNC Farmers Market on Brevard Road in Asheville. An electronic version of the premium book, with downloadable forms, can be found online at www.mountainfair.org. “We have a lot of interest in the competitions every year, but we would love to see even more people participate this year. The good news is that residents still have time to enter most of the competitions offered,” said Matt Buchanan, fair manager. “The competitions
reflect our mountain heritage and showcase the skills of our residents, which makes these competitions truly unique.” Competitions are divided into three categories: Division I for General Exhibits and Special Cooking Contests, Division II for Livestock Shows and Division III for Music, Dance and Song. “Canned goods, wood carvings, quilts, handmade clothing, honey, shoe box floats, flowers, photography, art and jewelry are among the items that can be entered in the General Exhibits category,” Buchanan said. “So there is a competition for almost every interest.” Each competition has its own rules, guidelines and deadline for entry submission, and residents should check the details for competitions they are interested in. The N.C. Mountain State Fair takes place September 10 through 19 at the WNC Ag Center. Advance discount tickets are on sale now at the WNC Ag Center, the WNC Farmers Market and at all western North Carolina Ingles stores.

William F. Gordon of Tryon Estates, Columbus, died Tuesday of complications from a recent fall. He was born August 20, 1925 in Ramsey, N.J., to Frank and Mabel Cook Gordon. After graduation from Ramsey High School in 1943 he joined the Army Corps of Engineers and served in the ETO. In 1947 he married Doris Seitz Gordon and they raised three children, Kim, Bill Jr. and Karyl, in homes they built together. In Wyckoff, N.J., Bill was an Indian Guides leader, a Little League coach, troop master of Boy Scout Troop 570, commander of VFW Post 6761 and a board member of the local YMCA. Following many years as a builder in New Jersey, Doris and Bill bought Meadowbrook Manor Riding Farm in the Pocono Mts. of Pennsylvania. Later he built several communities of homes in the area. In their 63 years of marriage, Bill and Doris traveled extensively and moved to Columbus in 2001. Bill was preceded in death by his son in 1992 and wife, Doris, in 2008. He is survived by daughter Kim and her husband Richard Sewell of Maine; daughter Karyl GordonDarley of Florida; grandchildren Gavin Sewell, Bronwyn Sewell and William Gordon Darley. In acknowledgment of the great care he received, the family requests that memorial donations be made to St. Luke’s Hospital, 101 Hospital Dr., Columbus, N.C. 28722. A memorial service will be held Friday, August 13 at Tryon Estates at 2 p.m. An online guest register is available at www.mcfarlandfuneralchapel.com. McFarland Funeral Chapel, Tryon.
