Tryon residents express opposition, support for new Dollar General store Store to open today by Leah Justice

The new Dollar General in Tryon has drawn plenty of attention, even before its official opening, which was set for today. The Dollar General was recently constructed in the parking lot of the former Plenty of Fish Restaurant (also known as the old Sunnydale Restaurant) on

South Trade St. adjacent to the Tryon ABC store plaza and IGA grocery store. Residents and elected officials expressed differing opinions about the new store at a Tryon Town Council meeting last week. Some said they didn't like having the "big box store," and others said the need must be there or they wouldn’t have built it. Resident Katharine Smith

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

sparked discussion during citizen comments last Tuesday by asking council if something is being done so similar buildings are not allowed in Tryon in the future. Recent letters to the editor have expressed opposition to the store, especially because of its location adjacent to a historical landmark, the old Sunnydale (Continued on page 4)

agreement and get public input prior to approval. State and federal permits are also necessary before beginning construction. Residents asked developers where phase I would be and what type of buyers developers are targeting to purchase the lots. Kilby said it still not been determined whether phase one will be off the Hwy. 108 entrance or the Houston Road entrance. The target market, he said, was originally visioned to be for second home retirees, but now developers see the location as good for primary homes of all kinds. Kilby says he mainly sees the market as folks who are wanting to move down south to be closer to children and grandchildren. David Weiss asked how likely Foster Creek is to sell to another developer. Kilby said he and others have put a lot of work into this project and there is no reason to think Foster Creek will not see the project through. Kilby added that if for some reason the project did fall into different hands, Columbus would be protected by its new ordinances on large developments. “You have a good safety net with your new ordinances and guidelines,” he said. Another resident asked whether the community would be gated. Kilby said that it will

depend on what the potential buyers want. He said it could have one section gated with others open – it just depends on what the market is looking for. Foster Creek first met with Columbus in February, 2008 and in May, 2008, the town placed an eight-month moratorium on major subdivisions in order to enact more stringent ordinances for large developments. “We were part of that process,” said Kilby. In early 2009, Foster Creek started the master plan process, which went through several reviews, public meetings, then planning board and town council approval. Earlier this year, Foster Creek received a special use permit from the town in order to construct the type of development proposed. Plans are for there to be a variety of lots, including cluster homes (four unit/two story) with a variety of lot sizes, ranging from 1/10 acre, 1/4 acre and 1/2 acre to one, two and three acre lots. The largest lots are seven to eight acres. There are 181 townhomes planned with the rest being different sized individual lots, according to developers. Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre said that when a development is about 700 lots planned, the build-out could span over 15 to 20 years. He said Foster Creek is not just going to be building over the next couple of years; it will be a long, drawn out process.

reation and nature education programs. "Without our volunteers we would not have received this money," Le Roy said. "Their efforts were essential to our participation in this program." Lorna Dever of the Friends of Harmon Field said the money will be used to support the organization's scholarship program and its general activities fund. The awards were announced recently at a Communities for Charity BMW Golf Tournament reception at Michelin on Main in downtown Greenville, S.C. The 10th annual BMW Charity Pro-Am golf tourna-

ment, presented by SYNNEX Corporation, raised $665,041 for 72 Upstate and Western North Carolina charities. "We're thrilled to be able to give back to these 72 non-profit organizations," said Bobby Hitt, president of South Carolina Charities. "These charities not only support the tournament with volunteers, but they sell tickets and playing opportunities. It's a win-win situation for all involved." Awards were also presented to the 2010 volunteers of the year as well as one for the Nationwide Tour's volunteer of the week. The 2010 volunteers of the year were Jack Davis (Thornblade Club), Ray Dowis (The Carolina Country Club), Cynthia Tucker (Bright's Creek Golf Club) and Martie

O'Shields (transportation committee). Alan Weymouth was named the Nationwide Tour volunteer of the week. Tournament officials also announced that the 2011 event will move to the third week of May, with tournament rounds occurring May 19-22, 2011. Information regarding sponsorship and playing opportunities for the 2011 event may be obtained by contacting Mike Ivester at 864-630-9276. All opportunities will be posted online at www.bmwcharitygolf. com in September. A record 57,000 fans withnessed Justin Hicks win the 10th annual BMW Charity ProAm this year. The win, which came after a one-hour rain delay in which Hicks and pro Fabian Gomez were the only

two remaining golfers left on the 18th fairway, was the first this year for the University of Michigan alum. He finished the tournament at -20 under par (66,65,69,66). Amateur Rolf Klam and his professional partner Scott Gutschewski won the Pro-Am/ProCeleb portion of the tournament at -47 under par. They donated their $5,000 winnings to the S.C. Mountains to Midlands Affiliates of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. South Carolina Charities is making some changes in the way charities are selected and in the operation of the event, so local organizations will have to wait until sometime next month to find out whether they are among the charities that are invited to apply next year.

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.

Obituaries Wildlife officers urge ‘boat safe, boat sober’ on Labor Day holiday Ed Camp The Labor Day weekend is the last hurrah for summer and one of the busiest times on waterways in North Carolina. To make it a safe holiday, wildlife officers with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission are urging everyone to “boat safe, boat sober.” Throughout the Labor Day holiday, wildlife officers will be on patrol across the state to enforce boating regulations and conduct vessel safety inspections, in an effort to help minimize the risk of accidents. “We will concentrate on getting the impaired boat operator off the water,” said Capt. Chris Huebner, the state boating safety coordinator. “Alcohol is a factor in over 20 percent of boating fatalities.” Operating a recreational vessel while under the influence of an impairing substance or with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher is against the law. The maximum penalty is $1,000 fine and possible jail. In addition to “Boat Safe, Boat Sober,” wildlife officers remind boaters over the Labor

Day holiday: • Wear a life vest – North Carolina law requires children younger than 13 to wear an appropriate life vest whenever they are on a recreational vessel that is underway, and it is recommended for everyone. • Blue light = no wake – All watercraft must slow to a no wake speed when passing within 100 feet of a patrol boat displaying a flashing blue light. In narrow channels, watercraft must slow to a no wake speed within 50 feet. • Mandatory boating education law – Anyone younger than 26 operating a vessel powered by a 10 horsepower or greater motor on public waterways must have successfully completed an approved boating safety education course or otherwise be in compliance. For more information on safe recreational boating or to enroll in a free boating education course offered by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, go to www.ncwildlife.org or call 919-707-0031. – article submitted

TENNIS GETS EXTRA

Polk County High school tennis player natalie Hilbig grimaces as she prepares for a forehand during practice Tuesday afternoon. The Wo l ve r i n e s ’ m a t c h against West Henderson was canceled due to a scheduling mixup. PCHs is 1-0 this season after a 6-3 victory at East Henderson this past week.

1940 THS captain honored by Friday coin flip by John Clayton

ripples from the wake of the great Depression were still being felt and whispers of an inevitable war in europe, which would be fought in no small part by the Class of 1941, were being heard. But for one magical fall season, the tryon High school football team would rule Western North Carolina gridirons, finishing with an unbeaten record at 7-0-1. Harold taylor, the captain of that team who still lives in Tryon, will flip the coin during pre-game ceremonies for polk County High school’s home opener Friday night against Brevard. pCHs honors teams from past decades in its football programs each season. “I think it’s wonderful,” taylor said of the flipping the coin during pregame and his old team being remembered. “We’re talking about 70 years ago – that’s a long time.” taylor, who played end on both sides of the ball at tryon, said he believes he is one of only two surviving members of the 1940 squad.

HAROLD TAYLOR

“Most of our players were small boys,” he said. “this day and time, there’s not much place for a small boy on the football team. only if you’re small and real fast would you have much of a chance. You have to be a real ball o’fire.” putting a team together back then was difficult – and sometimes an adventure, according to taylor. “Back in those days some of the parents felt it was a waste of time for their kids to play,” he said. “people had their children come home so they could work – take care of the chickens or the farm. “We had some great big ol’ boys who could throw a ball 50 yards, but their daddies wouldn’t let them play.” taylor recalled a game during the 1938 season – his first with the team – at Waynesville in which tryon didn’t have enough players to take on a tough, wellequipped opponent. But several servicemen traded in their army uniforms for football uniforms and played with tryon. “they still beat us something like 57-0, though,” taylor

His son and grandson both followed taylor as a player at tryon and he said he has kept up with the local team even as it became polk Central and now polk County High school. “It’s just unbelievable what sports now is in high school compared to what it was when I was in there,” taylor said. “they spend more on one kid’s helmet than our entire team spent in a year. It was during the Depression years, and we didn’t have the money, but we did have a football team.” taylor, who played end at about 5-foot-10 and 155 pounds, said the size of the high school athletes has been a huge change since his generation. sports – page 2

laughed. But two years later, no one – not the mill-league team called WLt (Wellford-Lyman-turkey paw) or even mighty Hendersonville – would beat tryon. “Hendersonville has always been a rival. Landrum has been the No. 1 rival, but Hendersonville is a rival,” taylor said. “they have a real good athletic program there and always have. they’re winners, too. We had some good players. . . . I’d say that was the highlight, beating Hendersonville.” But very few people were around to see it. “We played our games in the afternoon at Harmon Field – there were no lights and no people either,” taylor recalled. “It was a quarter to get in, I think, but not too many people came.” But taylor said he looks back fondly at his days as a player and has been visiting memories of tryon’s unbeaten season more frequently since being asked to flip the coin Friday night. “I really enjoyed my time playing out there. You get to know these fellow players, and that means a lot.”

Through three terms as Governor of Alabama and three runs at the U.S. Presidency, George Wallace was the face of old-line racism in America. But George Wallace changed his mind. In the early 1980s, he publicly announced that his long-held views on race had been wrong. He apologized to black civil rights leaders. They apparently took him at his word, because he was elected Governor for a fourth time in 1982, winning the support of most of the state’s black voters. During that final term as Governor, he appointed a record number of blacks to state office. You tell me: Is the George Wallace saga the story of a flipflop – or the opening of a mind?
