Local BottleTree Beer now on W.N.C. shelves by John Clayton

The way Fred Block figures it, he’s fighting evil – one beer at a time. Block, an engineer by trade and brewer by passion, has evolved quickly from awardwinning home brewer to commercial beer maker. His BottleTree Blonde is hitting more and more shelves, including just this week those in Western North Carolina, where his “drink no evil…” slogan will be seen on every package. Block, who lives in Campobello and whose BottleTree Beer Company, LLC is based in Tryon, says his homebrew actually began with an idea (Continued on page 3)

Fred Block, Campobello resident and owner of Tryon-based BottleTree Beer Co., recently saw his BottleTree Blonde arrive on shelves at N.C. retailers. The beer picked up more than 70 retailers in five weeks when it was first licensed in South Carolina. (staff photo by John Clayton)

Tryon applies for $2.6M grant for new paving, bike lanes, sidewalks on Hwy. 176 by Leah Justice

Pedestrians and bicyclists might find Hwy. 176 in Tryon easier to use in the future. The Town of Tryon agreed this week to apply for a federal grant to improve U.S. 176 from the stateline to Harmon Field Road.

If awarded, the federal funding could mean sidewalks and bike lanes, along with new paving, curb and guttering and landscaping along the approximate 2.6 mile stretch. Town council agreed to apply for the TIGER II grant, which is an extension of the TIGER grant program for job

Polk tourism down from 2008-2009

Tourism in Polk County was down 5.7% from 2008 to 2009, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Travel Association and the N.C. Division of Tourism. Total tourism expenditures in the county were $18.67 million. The 2009 report estimates there were 170 tourism-related jobs in Polk County generating a payroll of $2.85 million. Visitor spending in Polk County also generated local tax receipts of $1.14 million and state tax receipts of $1.01 million, according to the research. State tourism officials said it appears people were still visiting N.C. counties, but were just spending less during their visits. Statewide, Gov. Bev Perdue said, visitors to N.C. spent $15.6 billion in 2009, down 7.4 percent from 2008. However, N.C. retained its position as the 6th most visited state in the nation. In the Southeast, only Florida ranks ahead of N.C. in tourism market share.

Proposed law for interstate alcohol distribution

North Carolina’s winemakers and merchants will have to change the way they do business for out-of-state customers if federal legislation becomes law. The Comprehensive Alcohol Regulatory Effectiveness Act of 2010 would allow each state to control interstate distribution of alcohol. Opponents say it essentially would overturn a 2005 Supreme Court decision prohibiting individual states from denying out-of-state wineries the ability to ship directly to customers. Merchants and vineyard owners argue that state legislators would soon require wineries and wine stores to go through a distributor to sell out of state, which they say would hurt profits and could stunt the growth of the state’s fledgling wine industry. Proponents of the law argue that those fears are unfounded and that it will not have a negative impact on businesses.

North Carolina boasts the second-lowest mortgage closing costs in the country, says a survey released Monday by Bankrate.com. The study found that on a $200,000 loan, N.C. home buyers pay an average of $3,255 in closing costs — $1,476 in origination fees charged by the lender and $1,779 in average title and thirdparty fees. Only Arkansas, with average closing costs of $3,007, fared better than North Carolina in the study. North Carolina, Arkansas and Iowa are the only three states with average closing costs at least 25 percent below the national average of $3,741. Closing costs in New York easily are the country’s highest, at $5,623. Texas is second, at $4,708, followed by Utah.

One westbound lane of I-40 between Asheville and Tennessee will remain closed until Oct. 7 as work to stabilize rock slopes continues. That is five weeks later than planned, the state DOT said Monday. The lane closure between Exit 7 and the Tennessee state line has at times backed up westbound traffic for miles. Eastbound traffic is virtually unaffected. DOT awarded a $1.6 million contract this spring to a Colorado firm to install another 210 stabilization bolts in rock faces. DOT had planned to reopen the remaining lane by Aug. 27. Instead, it will reopen the lane temporarily for Labor Day weekend then close it again for a shorter distance until the job is done.

grow the beer in production and marketing?’” Deciding to use a distributor was simple enough for Block at that point. While Block has received local support, he said he also proudly supports local businesses in Tryon. The cover art for his packaging was produced by a Western North Carolina artist and based on a piece of art given to Block as a gift. For Block and his family – a wife, two children and two dogs – the quality of life they sought

when leaving Atlanta several years ago has been found. “We shop here. We took our kids to see 'Charlotte’s Web' at the Tryon Little Theater last week,” he said. “This is about a quality of life.” It’s a type of quality, he hopes has been translated into BottleTree beers. “We see that a lot of people aren’t drinking to excess any more,” Block said. “Maybe they’re more serious. Maybe they have other priorities, so if you’re out to dinner and you have one beer, why not make it a special one?”

For rent:from 2 BR, 1 BA, priNCASA accepting applications N.C. vate w/garden spot between high schools for 2010-2011 school year Lake Lure and Lake Adger. The North Carolina Association for Scholastic Activities (NCASA) is now accepting applications from North Carolina high schools for the 2010-2011 school year. The NCASA is a brand new 501 (c)(3) non-profit school association. The NCASA has been actively preparing since January for these competitions. This preparation includes not only working with education leaders in North Carolina, but also learning about best practices in many other states, including Kentucky, Virginia, Texas, and Illinois. The fruit of these efforts will be seen in the quality of the preparation, training, and ultimately the competitions themselves. Data from high school principals indicates between 350 and 400 high schools will join the NCASA this year. The NCASA will provide more opportunities than ever for students across the state to benchmark themselves against their peers, and to represent their schools in competition off the athletic playing field. Already Myers Park High School, the largest school in the state, has indicated they will join the association and actively pursue the NCASA Scholastic Cup by fielding teams in every NCASA and partner competition. NCASA Scholastic Competitions will stimulate students in much the same way students are engaged by athletic competitions. Like sports, scholastic competitions can be great equalizers, rewarding those who are willing to put in the time and energy required to succeed in competition. Eligibility: The NCASA is open to all North Carolina schools which include a 9th, 10th, 11th, or 12th grade. Public, charter, Early College, and independent schools, as well as home school groups are encouraged to become members. Timeline and Milestones: Membership applications will be accepted now through Octo-

Schools will be grouped into districts to minimize their travel times. The Twelve District and State tournaments 1x1will be held in December and January. The Quill 7/23 District and State tournaments JDIXwill be held in February. The 037861 Quiz Bowl District and State tournaments will be held in March and April. All tournaments will be held on Saturdays. View the calendar at http://ncscholastic.org/calendar.php. District Tournaments will be hosted by schools within each district. NCASA will work with schools to determine suitable hosts for these tournaments. State Finals for The Quill and Quiz Bowl will be held at North Carolina A&T University. The location of the Twelve State Final is being negotiated. Twelve: Twelve students from each team answer questions in a fast-paced, exciting competition which features ten core topics from the high school curriculum, plus two wild-card topics. Each school’s team will be known as the [school name] Twelve. The Quill: An on-demand writing competition where students must create a written product given a prompt from one of these four writing styles: Literary Analysis, Argumentation, Problem/Solution, or Creative Writing. Quiz Bowl: Two teams of four compete head-to-head answering questions read by a moderator. Rules and format will follow NAQT national standards.

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!

Letter to the Editor

Next they’ll blame him for sinking the ‘Titanic’ To the Editor: The present administration still continues to use George Bush as a scapegoat and blame him for all the nation’s ills. He’s been blamed for everything from a stagnant economy to the oil spill to E.D. Next they’ll blame him for sinking the “Titanic,” but didn’t he leave office in January, 2009? Then how has he managed to make a mess out of this country for nine and 1/2 years of an eight year term? Must be that new math kicking in. Hey, I can do that. My wife Georgia and I had planned to take our motor home to Maggie Valley for a few days before it cools off

but both batteries are dead and that joker won’t start. We, we’ll take the van and just get us a motel room. That way we can spend a couple of days trying to figure out what George Bush did to the batteries. I think I’ve got it figured out. and piano First,Flute you set “Bush” up in this little “blame game,” then if “Obama” forthat parties, doesmusic something looks good (if hegallery ever does) he struts around openings, taking credit for it.

foot out of his mouth. Does anybody know who’s running things while Obama is out of town? Like when he came to Asheville and temporarily shut down I-26 and I-40 and put a halt to commerce so he could go out and assault a little white ball with a club at Grove Park Inn. I don’t know. I’m just a 150 lb. “Gorilla” in the room. Now the first lady has gathered up all her friends and relatives and loaded up on “Air Force One” and taking them all for a ride to Spain, and they get to do this with full Secret Service protection and hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money and get fighter escorts. There you go girl. Bleed this taxpayer turnip for all it’s worth. If you plan a trip to Australia, can I go? I haven’t been there yet Mr. Bivens. – Wayne Bilbrey
