Polk County library director Pumphrey resigns by Leah Justice
After 16 years of serving Polk County as library director, Mark Pumphrey has resigned. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson announced Pumphrey’s resignation last week during a commissioner’s meeting and wished him well in his new venture. Pumphrey has accepted the deputy director position at the El Paso, Texas Library. He will begin his new position on Sept. 27 and will be leaving Polk County effective Sept. 17. “It is with regret that I announce my resignation as the director of the Polk County Library,” Pumphrey said in his letter of resignation. “Since I joined Polk County government in 1994, I have seen much positive growth in library services for the people of Polk County and many of you have played a part in making the dream a reality. We have many points of pride to reflect back on. I wish for all of you the very best the future can bring.” In 2006, Pumphrey was named N.C. Librarian of the

In honor of this exhibit, Tryon Arts and Crafts will host an artists’ reception on Friday, September 17 from 6 to 9 p.m. The evening will give the public an opportunity to view the exhibit and to meet many of the artists.

AG Cooper offers tips for back to school safety Attorney General Roy Cooper recently offered tips to help parents get their children back to school safely and ready to learn as the traditional school year begins. “Giving our children a safe and successful school year means more than buying the right pencils and backpacks,” Cooper said. “A few simple steps can give parents some peace of mind so they can focus on helping their kids learn.” Cooper’s office offers parents the following safety tips: • Sign up to get email alerts when a registered sex offender moves near your home or your child’s school, daycare, or afterschool activities. Visit the sex offender website, available at www. ncdoj.gov, to sign up for email alerts, and encourage your child’s school to sign up for alerts as well. You can also use the site to search for registered offenders and view maps and aerial photographs that pinpoint where they live. • Check to make sure your child’s school has a current safety plan. Ask if they’ve put together their Critical Incident Response Kit, which should contain everything a school needs to respond to a crisis, like blueprints, keys, rosters and emergency plans. Cooper’s office helped distribute the kits to all North Carolina schools. Ask if teachers have been trained and what you should do as a parent if a crisis occurs at school. Check out the list of schools that have put together their kit and provided training for teachers. • Make sure your child’s school, day care and after school activities screen their employees including background checks. Visit and get to know the people who spend time with your children. • Consider carefully the questions a school asks about student privacy, for example, whether you are OK with having a photo of your child used on the school website or taken by a news organization. if the school doesn’t ask, inquire about its policy.
• Update your list of emergency contacts and give a current copy to your child’s school and any after school programs. Make sure that everyone on your contact list knows key information, such as how to get to your child’s school, your pediatrician’s name and number, alarm codes for your house, etc. • Ask the school to notify you if your child doesn’t arrive at school, and let the school know who is authorized to pick up your child. Make sure your children know who would pick them up in case of an emergency or if you aren’t able to. • Make sure young children know their full name, parent’s name, address and phone number. You may also want to consider getting an ID card from the NC Division of Motor Vehicles for your child to carry. • Be careful to protect your child’s identifying information, like Social Security numbers, from strangers. Identity thieves will use an unsuspecting child’s information to open credit lines without parents’ knowledge. Only give identifying information when
necessary, and when you do, ask how it will be used and how the organization plans to protect the information. • Talk to your kids about how to stay safe from strangers, even on the Internet. Set ground rules for Internet use, agree on web sites that are OK to visit and explain what is appropriate or not to do or view online. Easy to use tools that can help you protect your children online, including a video and resource guide, are available free from Cooper’s office at www. ncdoj.gov. • Consider carefully the age and maturity of your children before deciding to let them use social networking sites. If you decide to allow it, be sure to read the site’s safety tips, utilize its privacy settings, and provide extra supervision. Also, talk to teens about how social networking sites can cause problems if people post inappropriate messages and embarrassing photos or respond to scams. • Talk to your kids about mobile phone use as well. Many young people today have mobile phones that can be used to access the Internet. Kids need to know
that the same safety rules apply if they use their phones to go online. Teens also need to be reminded about the dangers of texting or talking on the phone while driving. The National Safety Council estimates that 28 percent of car crashes are due to drivers talking or texting on their cell phones, and research suggests the risks may be even greater for inexperienced drivers. • Talk to school staff about Internet safety, too. Computers can be a wonderful learning tool, and many children now have access to the Internet in classrooms and school libraries. Ask your child’s school how they protect their students when they go online, and let them know that Internet safety tools for teachers are also available at www.ncdoj.gov. • Encourage your children to talk to you about anything that makes them feel scared or uncomfortable. Teach your kids which trusted adults (such as grandparents, teachers, school resource officers, a neighbor you know and trust) they can also turn to when they need help. — article submitted

N.C. State Beekeepers Association, NCDA&CS target adulterated honey The N.C. State Beekeepers Association, working in cooperation with the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is taking steps to prevent the sale of honey products containing additives, such as corn syrup, that are marketed as pure honey. The beekeepers association recently adopted standards for individuals offering honey for sale in the state. The guidelines will apply to all honey produced by honey bees from nectar or honeydew. When a consumer reports a suspected violation of the standards, representatives of the association’s Honey Standards Board will sample and test the honey for purity, and advise the seller of any potential problems detected. “Sellers who fail to comply with the standards will be fully reviewed by the standards board and referred to our Food and Drug Protection Division for further review and potential action,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Consumers should feel confident that when they are buying pure honey, they’re getting pure honey.” Dr. John Ambrose, an N.C. State University entomology professor and former state apiculturist, said: “The adoption of a honey standard is needed for two
reasons. There is a clear need to protect the integrity of our honey such that people buying honey will know they are getting the real thing. Secondly, this is an initial step in addressing the increasing problem of honey imported from foreign countries that frequently contains contaminates.” Beekeepers have been petitioning the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to adopt a nationwide honey standard for more than two decades. To date, there has been no resolution at the federal level. “There have been numerous instances where a product labeled as sourwood honey, a premium honey produced in western North Carolina, has been mislabeled and sold,” said Charles Heatherly, a representative of the beekeepers association. “This joint initiative is expected to greatly curtail those unscrupulous producers that would like to turn a nice profit by labeling an inferior product as sourwood honey, which sells for as much as $10 a pound.” North Carolina Beekeepers produce an estimated $15 million worth of honey each year, said Dr. David Tarpy, state apiculturist at NCSU. The value of honey bee pollination for North Carolina crops is estimated at $185 million, he said. – article submitted

Tryon stage veteran returns to direct TLT season opener
Millicent Hunnicutt in “Sugar Babies” at the Showpalace in Florida. (photo submitted) by Rita E. Landrum
Millicent Hunnicutt was a professional by age 15. It was a long way from her cousin Pat’s dance school to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and even farther to a career as an actor in some of the best theaters in the Southeast. Daughter of Peggy and Charlie Hunnicutt, well known from Tryon Little Theater and other area productions, Millicent’s gifts were revealed early. She began studying dance when barely out of toddlerhood and was acting and singing in Broadway scenes by age eight at the Flat Rock Playhouse. Wendy Wilkins Bailey gets credit for instilling Millicent’s early love of theater. “She showed me the importance of children’s theater and how to showcase each child. We were all stars to her.” Now grown up Millicent, who originated the role of housekeeper “Puny” Bradshaw in the premiere production of “Welcome to Mitford” at the Blowing Rock Stage Company in September 2007, will direct this same play as TLT’s 2010-2011 season opener. “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to do this,” she says. “I’m excited about my cast and I can’t wait to share this show. It brings Jan Karon’s heart-
warming Mitford series to life in a way that only good theater can.” Playwright Robert Inman plans to attend opening night on September 23 and will speak at the Lanier Library that afternoon at 2 p.m. Millicent’s Tryon Little Theater debut was as a little princess in “The King and I” with Christine and Stephen Fitch. She auditioned at age 13 for what turned out to be one of her favorite roles – Little Red Riding Hood in Stephen Sondheim’s stunning “Into the Woods,” directed by Elvin Clark. “It was amazing! This show changed my life!” she exclaimed. To add to the headiness, the cast and audience sang “Happy Birthday” to her at the final curtain call. There was no stopping 14-year-old Millicent after that. She began to participate in anything that would make use of any or all of her already welldeveloped skills. She performed with the Foothills Savoyards in their Gilbert and Sullivan productions and joined the Community Chorus. Other Tryon productions include “Camelot,” “The Music Man,” and “Sherlock Holmes,” as well as many scholarship benefit productions. In 2000, Millicent was awarded the Sue Hipps Scholarship, which was created to honor TLT

favorite Sue Hipps. In the summer of 2002, while enrolled at Lees McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C., Millicent returned to Tryon to direct and choreograph the TLT/Tryon Youth Center production of “School House Rock Live, Jr.” In 2004, Millicent received her B.S. degree in musical theater and dance from Lees McRae. She has performed in venues such as Blowing Rock Stage Company (where in addition to appearing in the “Welcome to Mitford” premiere, she taught tap dancing for children’s theater classes), Showpalace Dinner Theatre (Fl.), Broadway Palm (Fl.), Greenbrier Valley Theatre (W.V.), Wohlfahrt Haus Dinner Theatre (Va.), Lees McRae Summer Theatre, and North Carolina’s own Flat Rock Playhouse. An advocate for the arts in the public school system, Millicent spent this past summer at Camp Ton-a-Wandah as the evening program coordinator. She directed girls ages 6 to 15 in a play she wrote and taught advanced dance classes while coordinating dance, drama, gymnastics, and music. The Tryon Little Theater box office is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Workshop, located at 516 South Trade Street. Performance dates are September 23 through
25 at 8 p.m., September 26 at 3 p.m., and September 30 through October 2 at 8 p.m., October 3 at 3 p.m. All performances will be held at the Workshop. For more information, call 828-859-2466.
