Costco donates grill to Tryon NEW PREMIUM LENSES Costco Wholesale Corporation recently notified the Town of Tryon that it wished to donate a deluxe outdoor BBQ grill. The donated Grand Café Gas Grill Island, priced by Costco at approximately $2,800, arrived in late August and will soon be installed for community use. Mayor Alan Peoples said, “The Town of Tryon is grateful to Costco for this generous donation.”
Town Manager Justin Hembree, who is an active BBQ competition cooker, said, “This is a fabulous piece of equipment and will become a real asset to the community.” After installation, the grill will be available for public use on a fee basis to cover operating costs and to provide funds to maintain the unit. The location where the grill will be installed is still undecided.
Forum on kudzu eradication Oct. 26 at ICC On Tuesday, October 26 there will be a town hall styled meeting to discuss what Polk County and other area residents can do as a community to help stop the continual spread of kudzu. There will a short PowerPoint presentation with discussion afterwards to help determine what steps residents and officials of the county and region can take to curb the spread of kudzu. “We want to help raise awareness about the kudzu issue and to determine what type of public support exists to declare war on kudzu, said John Vining, Polk County Extension
Director and member of the Kudzu Task Force. The program will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Polk Campus of Isothermal Community College in Columbus on October 26.

They have been involved in the planning of this initial meeting.

• Man arrested (continued from page 1)
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office helped Spartanburg County sheriff’s officers search a dumpster located in Mill Spring Tuesday afternoon, Hill says. Hill says investigators believe Bailey has ties to Polk County. According to Hill, Bailey was found later on Tuesday in Unicoi County, Tenn., just moments after a BOLO (be on the lookout) for Snipes’ license plate number was sent out to law enforcement agencies. Bailey was still being held in Tennessee as of yesterday and has been charged with the murder of 82-year-old Snipes. Snipes' death was discovered when a family member alerted Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright that Snipes had not come home Monday night. Spartanburg County investigators went to the used car lot in Spartanburg that Snipes ran and found his body. Investigators immediately called Snipes’ death “suspicious,” and it was determined that he had been beaten to death. Investigators also discovered that Snipes’ 1999 Ford Ranger truck was missing from his business and sent out the BOLO that

helped locate Bailey. Sheriff Wright said Snipes, who served as Spartanburg County Sheriff from 1961 to 1968, was a good sheriff who stayed active in the community. Snipes served as state director of the National Sheriff’s Association, worked for the S.C. Highway Patrol, as a railroad detective with Southern Railway and volunteered with various community groups over the years, including the Spartanburg Lions Club, American Legion and the Travelers Protective Association, a fraternal organization. Snipes also served in the Korean War as a platoon sergeant and weapons instructor.

Hikers from an earlier hike in th PAC Fall Hiking Series. (photo submitted)
PAC hike goes to Chestnut Ridge Hikers are invited to join the Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) for a 5.5-mile hike on Friday, October 15, at Chestnut Ridge Heritage Preserve, the third hike of PAC’s Fall Hiking Series. PAC Land Protection Specialist Pam Torlina will lead the hike from the trail head off of Oak Grove Road to the South Pacolet River. The 5.5mile hike is 2.75-miles out and 2.75-miles back, and starts out as relatively easy, winding through new growth forest and along several streams, gradually becoming moderately strenuous as the trail ascends Squirrel Mountain through a hardwood forest with rock outcroppings. After reaching the ridge top, the trail descends Squirrel Mountain through a cove forest to the South Pacolet River, at the base of Chestnut Ridge. Chestnut Ridge Heritage Preserve is a 1,881-acre preserve in northern Greenville County, named for the mountain within its boundaries that protects White Irisette (Sisyrinchium dichotomum), a federally endangered plant. White Irisette is found on only a few scattered mountain slopes in western N.C. and northern S.C. and proliferates on several of PAC’s protected properties. Difficult to distinguish in the best of circumstances, the tiny irisette will not be blooming this time of year. The Chestnut Ridge forest varies from early successional
to mature upland and cove hardwoods, and hikers may see the first blush of fall color. The property is part of the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Management Area program, allowing hiking, nature viewing, fishing, and some types of hunting, and hikers will be on the lookout for migratory birds. If you are interested in attending the PAC hike at the Chestnut Ridge Heritage Preserve, contact the PAC office to sign up by phone at 828-859-5060 or e-mail at landprotection@pacolet.org. Hikers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear; bring a bag lunch and/or snack and plenty of water. Be sure to bring any personal medication that you may require. In case of inclement weather, contact the PAC office by 8:15 a.m. on the day of the hike to see if the hike will take place. Hikers will be meeting in Landrum, across from the Habitat Resale Store at 8:30 a.m. and/or at the Gowensville Spinx (at the intersection of Hwy. 14 & Hwy. 11) at 8:45 a.m. to start the journey to Chestnut Ridge Heritage Preserve. If you cannot make this hike, visit www.pacolet.org or follow PAC’s Facebook page for upcoming information on the next hike, October 29, at Carl Sandburg National Historic Site, as PAC Land Protection Specialist Pam Torlina leads hikers to the summit of Glassy Mountain. – article submitted

For its October program, Foothills Riding Club is offering a presentation and Q&A on safe trailering with Larry Stott. “Most of us have had, or know someone who had, a scary experience when trailering horses, sometimes with tragic results,” says Marilyn Yike, FRC president, “Often the problem began with a mismatch between the towing vehicle and trailer.” There are a number of factors that determine the safety of a given combination. It’s not just what your vehicle will pull, but what it will stop (especially in an emergency), and how it will handle in weather and road conditions. Larry Stott began working on cars at age 10 under the tutelage of his older brother, Clifford. He has been in business at Stott’s Corner since 1972. In addition to his expertise with vehicles, years of experience with towing have provided him with a knowledge of what to do when hazardous conditions occur. This is vital information that can make the difference between coming out of a hairy trailering situation unscathed or

ventriloquist act and an Abbott Costello-inspired comedy routine about faith. The conflict rises when someone attempts to sabotage the radiothon, by serving up a poisoned venison-and-whipped-cream pie. A miracle occurs, just as they go live on the air, and the donations pour in from around the world. Songs like “The Bible is the Greatest Book on Earth,” “The Mohair Rag,” “Celibacy,” and “Satan’s Place” will certainly tickle your funny bone. “MonkY Business” has been called a male version of “Nunsense” by the “Houston Chronicle,” and the “Quad-City Times.” “MonkY Business” plays November 11 to 14 and November 18 to 21. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday. For more information visit www.tltinfo.org. – article submitted

Letter to the Editor
Trickle down economics didn’t work then, why now? To the Editor: I wanted to add to and respond to the letter in the TDB on September 29 from Harriet Goodrich, titled “25 percent of Americans willing to believe untruths.” Let us tackle that first. Most of those who believe that President Obama is a Muslim will not change their mind. Even during the campaign John McCain, in a town hall meeting, tried to explain to a very nice lady that that was not true. Of course if it was, why was the Rev. Wright of the Christian Church Chicago such an issue? His birth certificate shows he was born in Hawaii. I guess that is a forgery – not. So let us get beyond those issues. The folks who choose to believe them have not, or are not willing to accept the real facts.
Letter to the Editor
Checks and balances To the Editor: When the Founding Fathers of this country created our government, Checks & Balances was a critical component. Their belief, which I believe most Americans still agree with today, is that we want to avoid a country where one party controls government without some form of debate, vote and Checks & Balances. Since 1990, the US has suffered from the lack of Checks & Balances in our federal government. Under Clinton and a Democrat majority in Congress, followed by
Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper
Moving on, let us survey the realities. During the Reagan years trickle down economics became a mantra... If we give the rich a tax break they will spend more money on building American business and create jobs. Well in the third year of the Reagan era unemployment was 9.5 percent. How was that working for ya? In reality if you give the middle class more money to spend, they buy goods and services, manufacturing has to increase due to increased demand, the service industry has to expand to service the goods and services. The rich, however, amass wealth and hang onto it. By the time G. H. W. Bush became President the debt was soaring. His claim in 1980 of voodoo economies was coming to pass, but he pushed on with the Reagan policy, until, read my lips: then he looked at the real numbers and went, oops... of course we all know what happened. But do we know why? Mainly you cannot lower taxes for the wealthy, and expect it to trickle down to the
masses. It did not work then and it will not work now. To Bill Clinton’s credit he worked with a Republican Congress who understood the facts as they were presented. They balanced the budget, and by his last year in office left a surplus... good job by both sides. Of course then came George the second. Same trickle down policy as Reagan: cut taxes, spend a lot, borrow to cover it, create debt, the rich will spend more and soon we will see the benefits of the rich having more money. Oops, didn’t work for Reagan, didn’t work for Bush. So I wonder with the track record we are faced with, what makes people think it will work now? It didn’t work in the eighties, it didn’t work in 2000, what makes it any better now? Let me know, I’m more that willing to listen to anything that will work. However, I must let you know that giving those who spend, the real middle class, money is a better way to go then depending on the fat cats in corporate America to rescue us.. – David Bivens
Bush and a Republican majority in Congress, and now Obama and a Democrat majority in Congress, our government has made decisions that have cost this country in terms of the economy, federal debt, society, religious expression, education and principles. We have to get back to what the Founding Fathers created. We have to get back to a government with Checks & Balances. In Renee McDermott’s lengthy letter to the Bulletin, where she attacked Tommy Melton and Warren Watson for (among other things) leaving the Democratic Party, she brags about how good things were when they were Democrats and the Board Of Commissioner votes were all unanimous. Translated,
that means no debates, no pointcounter-point, and free reign to do what they want without any Checks & Balances. That is the exact opposite of what we need. That is the exact opposite of the principles on which our government was created. I heard a great phrase on radio last week. A caller said he was frustrated with the trend towards “politics trumping principle.” That’s a great point. Let’s get back to a balance of opposing points of view. Let’s get back to debates. Let’s get back to a government with Checks & Balances, locally as well as in state and federal government. Let’s think about that when we vote next month. – Don Hofmann
Youth chess club meets Fridays As some may know there is a lot of research linking playing chess with analytical skill development. This shows up in math aptitude. That appeals to parents of course, but often not kids. Still, we know kids can have fun with playing chess. We have seen it over the past few years as a
group that started in Mrs. Smith’s fifth grade has moved on to middle school. A youth chess club, coordinated by Lynne Parsons and taught by Dr. Brian Crissy, will be meeting every other Friday afternoon after school at Morning Glory Farm in Mill Spring. The farm also offers a chance
for kids to run around safely before chess begins or after while waiting to be picked up. Parsons will be able to provide transportation for a limited number of children from the middle school. Call her at 828-894-5595 if you think you have a child who might have an interest. – article submitted
