'Kudzilla' makes visit to Saluda

A backhoe and forklift that has been modified to take on kudzu will be working near the intersection of Ozone and Thompson roads in Saluda today from 8 to 10 a.m. The Saluda Community Land Trust has been working to eradicate kudzu at the intersection without the use of chemicals, and has invited the public to see "Kudzilla" in action. The group says it will continue working each Thursday from 8 to 10 a.m. and always welcomes additional help.

ments to distribute the Belgian style ale in Western North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and 12 counties on the Florida Panhandle. Block grew up in the Panhandle and his parents and brothers still live there. Block contracted with Pinnacle Imports to distribute the beer in Alabama and Florida. BottleTree reached a deal with Next Generation Beer Co., to distribute the beer in Asheville and the Boone/Blowing Rock area. Next Generation says it plans to present the ale to restaurants in Hendersonville and Brevard. The beer has been available in Tryon, Landrum and the Spartanburg area.

Friends of Harmon Field to stay in operation

The Friends of Harmon Field organization, created to help raise funds supporting Harmon Field in Tryon, has decided to continue its efforts for at least another year, according to the group's president Lorna Rae Dever. She said members had questioned whether the group is still needed, but Benny Smith, chairman of the Harmon Field Board of Supervisors encouraged the group to stay together. He suggested the group try to add more members over the next year to build on its fundraising efforts. Friends of Harmon Field holds several fundraising events each year for the recreation facility, including the Tour de Leaves bicycle event coming up on the third Saturday of October.

A state law revision allowing pets at outdoor dining areas took effect this week in North Carolina. The N.C. Department of Environmental and Natural Resources has put the new policy in place, allowing owners to have cats and dogs with them in outdoor dining areas as long as the pets are physically restrained. The pets also are not allowed in indoor areas of the restaurant and cannot come in contact with the food, food service items or food preparers.

NCDOT prepares for Hurricane Earl

The N.C. Department of Transportation is preparing to respond to Hurricane Earl on the ground and in cyberspace. In coastal communities, NCDOT crews are making sure that bulldozers and other equipment are ready to go and topped off with fuel. They also are taking inventory of barricades, evacuation and electronic signs and holding daily briefings on the storm, which may impact the Outer Banks area of the state later this week.

Tryon, Columbus freeze planner position to save funds Both the towns of Columbus and Tryon have decided to save money and not fill a vacant planner position that was shared last year. Former joint planner Melanie Sand resigned in July and Tryon and Columbus have each decided to hold off on rehiring in an attempt to save money. Sand worked for Tryon two days per week and for Columbus three days per week. Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree says the duties will be split between fire chief Joey Davis and himself for at least six months. Davis will be officially appointed as the town’s zoning administrator during Tryon Town Council’s meeting this month. Davis already does building fire inspections in town and Hembree says he will also do day-to-day permitting and enforcement of Tryon’s ordinances. Hembree says he will handle major issues. Davis will begin taking code enforcement classes through the N.C. Institute of Government, although no certifications are required. Hembree already holds a degree in planning. The transition could work long term for Tryon as Hembree says the town can

now be more responsive to requests because Sand only worked for the town two days per week. Columbus has made the same short term decision not to rehire a planner. Newly hired town manager Jonathan Kanipe has assumed planning duties as well. Kanipe says the relationship between Tryon and Columbus worked well and a future joint planner could be considered if needed. Kanipe says he is handling planning issues for at least another month. The savings for both towns could be substantial if the position is completely taken out of the budgets. Columbus handled the expenses for Sand and was reimbursed a portion from Tryon. The total planning department budget for Columbus was $39,825, including salary, benefits and retirement, professional services, supplies, telephone, advertising and postage, dues and subscriptions and staff development. Tryon reimbursed Columbus $9,152 for Sand’s salary, but Hembree says the savings to the town is closer to $20,000, including supplies, certifications and dues Tryon also paid for the position.

Dinner tickets consist of dinner from Stone Soup of Landrum, S.C., under the covered arena and the show. Bleacher seat ticketholders are invited to bring a picnic, no food will be sold. There will be beer and wine for sale for those in bleacher seats. For additional information or tickets call FENCE at 828-8599021 or visit www.fence.org. – article submitted

Boyer to teach leather carving at TAC Sept. 11 Tryon Arts and Crafts will host an Introduction to Leather Carving weekend workshop with instructor Karl Boyer. The weekend workshop will be held on Saturday, Sept. 11th and Sunday, Sept. 12th at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road. This workshop is designed to be informative, educational, and above all, fun. Leather carving is an exciting hobby and a continual learning process. This workshop is designed for those who have never tried leather carving. The workshop will start with an introduction to leather, where it comes from, the tanning process, and products created from leather. Boyer will then discuss preparation of the leather, including making a pattern, and transferring the pattern to the leather surface. Finally he will introduce the tools including the swivel knife, mallet, camouflage tool, pear shader, beveler, veiner, seeder and background tools, and how they are used in carving. These tools will be used to create two small projects. The first will be a stamping project, a coin purse. The second will be a bookmark carved and tooled using all of the tools that they have just become familiar with. A third project may be possible if time allows.

Advance registration for all workshops is required.

‘I saw something very, very special’ Shuler tells Wolverines to make most of this chance Well, you can put the football player in Congress, but you can’t take the football player out of the Congressman. U.s. rep. Heath shuler (D-Waynesville) spent tuesday afternoon proving that with the polk County High school football team. there was no mention of politics. No liberals. No democrats. No Blue Dogs. Just a bunch of Wolverines and one Maroon Devil. this wasn’t the campaign trail as much as it was a quick trip down memory lane for shuler and a reminder of the trails and trials ahead for the 2-0 Wolverines. “High school is where you develop those friendships and relationships that you’ll always have for the rest of your life,” shuler said. “I’m living back where I grew up (in swain) and a lot of these kids will live and work here in polk County. they’ll be going to the football games someday, and they’ll be watching their kids play. “My hope is what they’ve instilled in the tradition at the school will carry over to the next generation.” shuler knows a thing or two about high school football tradition. He won three state championships at swain County High school and was named N.C. player of the Year as a senior. He then went on to play at tennessee and was runnerup for the Heisman trophy as a junior for the Vols before

moving on to a disappointing and injury-shortened five-year career in the NFL with the Washington redskins and New orleans saints. “I played in the NFL, and I played in college,” shuler told the players before heading to the practice field with them. “But there is no greater feeling than coming back to your hometown with a victory in a state championship. there is no greater feeling. . . . that bus ride home may be as memorable as anything because those are the guys you went to church with, those were the guys you had class with and you’ve been in the same class since first grade or kindergarten.” shuler’s “seize-the-day” message went hand in hand with polk’s “this Is Next Year”

theme for the 2010 season. the Wolverines, ranked No. 6 in Class 2a by Maxpreps. com, have brought a seniordominated team and no small degree of playoff frustration into the 2010 season. But shuler saw something in polk’s 20-14 season-opening victory over tuscola that led him to visit for a pep talk and a little practice time. “to be able to watch them play two Friday nights ago – the way they played against tuscola, I saw something very, very special that you don’t see

very often,” he said. “I saw it last year with reynolds and got to go talk with them about setting the precedent, setting the tradition at their school, and they ultimately went on to win the state championship. I continue to see it here.” Call it an “it factor” or team chemistry or whatever, but shuler has seen it before – and felt it before, firsthand. More importantly, he knows the gravity of recognizing it and taking it as far as possible. “You’ll never get this day back,” he told the team. “everything you put in today will prepare you for the future. preparing for the future gives you the opportunity to play in that championship game.” (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11)

But it’s only football, right? surely, a U.s. Congressman has bigger fish to fry somewhere on Capital Hill or a baby to kiss up in asheville? “this is the most important

Letter to the Editor

The world Nina grew up in To the Editor: I read the letter to the editor Friday, Aug. 20, pg. 20 by Danny Hutcherson, “Pam Stone Statue” and Nina Simone. He states,” Nina Simone denounced this country and moved to France as soon as she could. Other folks have also denounced her for being unpatriotic. Most do not know the world Nina grew up in. They are either from other places, or there are

those who lived here and knew how to look the other way. When I came to this area in the late 1940s (Saluda), I heard a man in the area tell a black man not to come through his front door and still work for him. He called him a racist name and said to go to the back door where he belonged. When Nina gave her first recital at 13 in the Lanier Library, her mother and father were told they would have to move to the back and let white folks sit there. Nina said, “there will be no recital unless my parents stay where they are.” The white couple sat in the back.

But what does it feel like to be told to get around to the back door? What does it feel like to be humiliated? That’s the way it was in the world Nina grew up in. In that world, why should the blacks have been patriotic, when in the south they were not allowed to be citizens of the United States, except on a piece of paper. Nina did come back to Tyon in the early 1970s and when she left she said, “nothing has changed much for the blacks in Tryon.” And after she fought for over ten years for equal rights she also said the same thing about America.

I was living here in the 1970s and I saw what she saw in Tryon and she was right. Things got better long after she moved to France. I grew up in a family (my mother was born in Tryon) with all the prejudices and we know how to look the other way too. But a couple of art students in New York opened a new window for me and then I met Carrie Lee Massey in Tryon and she opened a new door for me and showed me a way out. If we all try to love each other we may discover a wonderful new highway we never travelled before. We have a way to go. – Ron Mosseller

Does this make Gates a bad guy? Not at all – he has a perfect right to spend his money as he sees fit. The point is that Buffet is happy with the life of a regular man. He shuns the trappings of wealth. Here’s a guy who can afford to live anywhere in the world, yet he’s content to stay in a home that is worth less than Bill Gates’ annual property tax bill. Warren Buffet is driven by the next challenge, whatever it may be – but he’s also happy with who he is. He has achieved greatness without letting it go to his head. He is content, but never satisfied. May that be said of all of us. Excerpted from The Graduate’s Book of Practical Wisdom: 99 Lessons They Can’t Teach in School by C.

Time is here to seed your lawn The Labor Day holiday is the date used to promote the seeding of lawns in the Piedmont area of both North and South Carolina. The typical grass planted is either Tall Fescue or Bluegrass and sometimes they are mixed together. Tall Fescue is the predominant turfgrass planted in lawns and pastures in Polk County. Most grasses need a minimum of five hours of full sun each day. All turfgrasses except centipede prefer a soil that has a pH level around 6.5. In order to obtain that soil pH, most homeowners in the Polk County area have to add some lime to their lawn to increase the pH level in our naturally acid soils. As you all are well aware, our native soils are composed of heavy, tight red clay. Therefore sowing grass seed on top of the ground with no soil preparation is generally unsuccessful. Some light tilling,

aeration or vigorous raking with a garden rake is critical to the success of your lawn. One can see after a summer like this year that no soil prep is equal to dead grass in early August. When seeding bare soil use six pounds of Tall Fescue seed for every 1,000 square feet. Overseeding an existing lawn takes around three pounds of seed for every 1,000 square feet. If you determine you prefer a finer textured cool season lawn then you can use 5 pounds of Tall Fescue, 1 pound of Bluegrass seed and 1 pound of Fine Fescue. If you are planting grass in an area that is completely bare, be certain to mulch the bare soil with wheat straw. The amount of straw needed is approximately one bale per 1,000 square feet. Always use weed free straw and when mulching leave about 50 percent of the soil surface uncovered. Too much straw

can shade the new grass seedlings too much. Keep in mind that watering is critical the first 10 to 14 days unless we have rainfall. Short waterings daily during those two weeks helps keep the top inch of the soil from drying out. Knowing what your soil pH is naturally depends on you. Soil test boxes and forms are located in the County Extension Center in Columbus. Currently the samples are being processed in about five working days. The soil testing program is still free to North Carolina residents. All test results are posted on-line and the soil test results can be explained by the Polk County Extension staff. For specific information on lawns contact the Polk County Master Gardeners from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday through Friday at 828-894-8218. – article submitted
