Nina Simone Tryon birthplace for sale by Jeff Byrd

One of Tryon’s most historic properties, the birthplace of the internationally acclaimed jazz legend Eunice Waymon, later Nina Simone, is being offered for sale by the owner, Kipp McIntyre. The house has been partially restored since McIntyre bought it in 2005. A new foundation was installed, new beams and floor boards. The west wall was replaced.

“We had custom windows built based on the memories of a girl who remembered washing them,” McIntyre said. Wainscoting was purchased from the former Lynn Baptist Church before it was demolished. “It was probably the same wainscoting which was milled at Tryon Lumber at the time the Nina Simone house was built,” McIntyre said.

Builders were the general contractors. “People are coming from all over the world to see the birthplace of Nina Simone,” McIntyre said. “This is ‘the house,’ ground zero for fans. She was literally delivered, born right there.” For McIntyre, the house and its history is one of a community (Continued on page 3)

as much as it is the celebrity of its former owners. “This was a community vibrant enough to nurture a little girl,” he said.

The old Fred Lyles house was next door, where Lyles had a tennis court, a laundry and a library. The Hannon Barber Shop was just down the street as were the Bryan Stores, and a little further away was the neighborhood juke joint. For McIntyre, those days of

neighborhood businesses should be allowed to return. “Now the entire neighborhood is zoned residential,” he said. “There is no way even to engage in community business and entrepreneurship.” The effort to sell the historic

Waymon house began a few weeks ago with an advertisement in the Bulletin. McIntyre said he will pursue the “sell local campaign” first, and eventually will begin offering the property internationally. For more information, Google "Nina Simone birthplace."

leather couches and recliners and flat screened televisions. The television screens will enable participants to play Wii video games, which Polk officials say should be a big hit for daytime activities. The center also has a large kitchen and and an outdoor seating area, including a gazebo and wooden swings. Each room is decorated with quilts sewn by Betsy Freeman, for whom the center was named. Items in the hallways commemorate the efforts that went into making the center a reality. The grand opening Sunday included a tour of the new facility as well as speeches by Betsy Freeman, Polk County Commissioner Cindy Walker, Polk County Commissioner Warren Watson and Rutherford Life Services (RLS) Director Larry Brown. A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held and attendants were treated to cake and cider. Walker thanked the many people who had part in making the adult day care center a reality. “I say to all of you that have laid your hands on this project in one fashion or another, it is through your efforts that a need became an idea and then a reality,” Walker said. “The time, energy and dedication that each of you gave does not disappear when the tools are packed or the paper work filed, no,

it lingers here quietly and touches all that pass through these doors.” Watson said four years ago he was assigned to the Polk County Council on Aging and while there, he was invited to ride along on a home-delivered meal route. “As we delivered those meals, it was obvious that many of the recipients had no daily contact with other people, except for their meal delivery person and possibly their mailman,” said Watson. “I could tell many of them craved the company of others, and I was concerned that several of them were unsupervised all day. It was obvious to me from this short trip that there was definitely a need for adult day care in our county.” The building was also officially named on Sunday after Don and Betsy Freeman, who were instrumental in getting the county to provide a center. Betsy Freeman’s husband, Don Freeman, was in need of such an (Continued on page 6)

Henderson Co. magistrate charged with DWI in Polk by Leah Justice

A Henderson County magistrate was charged last weekend with driving while impaired in Polk County, according to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Stewart Van Meter, 59, of Hendersonville, was arrested and charged with driving while impaired and cited for failure to maintain lane control, ac-

cording to Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill. Hill says Van Meter was traveling along Landrum Highway around 1:30 a.m. Sunday. He was released from the Polk County Jail on written promise to appear in court. His court date was set for Nov. 24.

adult care facility. Watson said he saw how Betsy struggled to find paid caregivers to come in for a few hours per week so she could run errands and do things most of us do routinely. “It seems as if I met a new caregiver every few weeks,” Watson said. “And they never seemed to work out.” Unfortunately, Watson said, Don Clair Freeman did not live to see the project to fruition, but his wife, Betsy, has been there promoting this need even after his death. “It is that type of dedication and commitment that makes the difference in whether projects fail or succeed,” Watson said. “And it is in that same spirit that the Polk County Board of Commissioners is proud to name this building the Don and Betsy Freeman Center for Adult Day Health Care, and to dedicate this facility in memory of

jbtrees - page 10

Don Clair Freeman and in honor of Betsy Kelley Freeman, as a place for respite and care for the citizens of Polk County.” Rutherford Life Services has been contracted by the county to run the facility. RLS says there are a couple more inspections and certifications to complete prior to opening the doors. County officials say the center could be open in as little as six weeks, but should definitely be open by the end of this year. RLS director Brown congratulated Polk County on completing the venture. He said no county that he knows of has come together to provide such a service for its residents. “This is unique and you need to be aware of that,” Brown said. Brown said RLS has been operating programs for 44 years and will do its very best for Polk County. “Thank you for letting us be a part of this group,” he said. “We are very excited.”

Letter to the Editor

It was not Mr. Inman who used that label To the Editor: Katherine V. R. Smith, Ph... D. recently took issue with language in the Tryon Little Theater’s production of “Welcome to Mitford”. Dr. Smith wrote, “I was offended by Robert Inman’s choice to overtly state that one of his characters is ‘a schizophrenic’ and go on to mock what is a serious and heartbreaking illness.” I would like to make several comments: (1) It was not Mr. Inman who used that label. It was used by one of the characters in the play. Uncle Billy, the husband of Miss Rose Watson, used the phrase in reference to his wife. Given the character of Uncle Billy, “schizophrenic” could well be the most appropriate term available to him to describe his wife’s condition. No one criticizes Harper Lee for having Mayella Well’s classmates in “To Kill a Mockingbird” refer to Tom Robinson by using the now-objectionable “N” word. In the context of the story, the word is exactly what some of the characters would have used. We need to distinguish what a character would say from what an author would affirm. (2) Robert Inman based his play on a series of novels by Jan Karon. It is Karon who first characterized Miss Rose as schizophrenic in “Angel of Light” when she wrote: “He [Father Tim Kavanagh] couldn’t imagine the old couple giving a party; his mind was perfectly boggled by the notion. Rose Watson had been diagnosed as schizophrenic decades ago, and although on daily medication, her mood swings were fierce and unpredictable. To make matters worse for her long-suffering husband she was quick going deaf as a stone but refused to wear hearing aids.” A decades-old diagnosis may not be contemporaneously correct but that was the diagnosis available to Father Tim. I seriously doubt that Father Tim was a licensed clinical

psychologist. (3) Characters say things in plays that may not be politically correct and may indeed be offensive to some of the audience. A good author will have the character say what is most appropriate for the play’s context. When an author tells us that a character is schizophrenic and yet the audience continues to laugh at the actions of that character, perhaps the author is challenging the audience members to learn something about themselves. Perhaps one should be offended with the audience and not with Take advantage of generous Federal & We utilize "state-of-the-art" diagnostic testing to Mr. Inman.

Polk volleyball wins over Owen 25-21, 25-21, 25-8 by Jordan DeVere

polk County’s Lady Wolverines volleyball team played host to the owen War Lassies on senior Night, thursday, oct. 14. the evening started with the recognition of the five seniors on this year’s team: • Kailey Russell #2

• Brittany Phipps #12 • Sarah Angier #13 • Haley Champion #1 • Melinda Morgan #10 The first game was a neckand-neck race that came down to the wire. Melinda Morgan put forth great hustle, diving all over the court to save the ball. polk fought hard in the early

minutes and out-hustled owen, which helped them eke out a 25-21 win in the first game. In the second game Kailey russell put up a virtual brick wall on the net, denying the War Lassies’ attempts to score at the end of the game. the Lady Wolverines won that game with the same score as the first game:

25-21. By the third game, Polk County had really worn down the War Lassies. owen tried to keep it interesting in the early part of the game, but could not keep up the pace and fell farther and farther behind. In the end, the Lady Wolverines cruised to a 25-8 victory.

else question what’s going on? Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge started in 1933 and was completed in 1937. Construction by the N.C. Department of Transportation on Landrum Road was started in 2006 and is ongoing. Keep in mind this perceptual re-paving

project is only 4.9 miles long. It stretches all the way from the South Carolina state line to Hwy. 9. They delay traffic daily and at times, send drivers out into never land sometimes never to return. Go figure. P.S. I inquired to the NC-

DOT on July 7 of this year with no response. They promised to get back to me within five to seven business days. Maybe the same person in charge of communication is running the construction project. – Alvin Pack

Too much kool-aid To the Editor: Jerry, Jerry, Jerry, it’s obvious you are drinking the Kool-Aid again, and I can see that you are still upset with me for leaving the Democrat party. All donations, as well as my expenditures, are on file at the Polk County Board of Elections. We are required by the state of NC to fill out periodic disclosure reports, the next report coming due October 25, 2010 (covering up through Oct. 16th). These reports are signed by either Dale Edwards or Karen Lawrence. In fact, it is my understanding that some Democrats come in regularly to comb through the reports. Perhaps you are wondering how I am able to accomplish so much with so little. I am a very frugal shopper.

debt reduction, let’s talk about what is really at stake in Polk County…”control”. One party has “control” of the local Board of Commissioners. All it takes is for a group of three like-minded individuals to be elected in order to control the ordinances, policies, tax rates and other business of our County government. The pendulum has swung from “right” to “center” to “left” in recent elections. Currently, the “left” is desperately trying to maintain that control by attempting to discredit some well-qualified, experienced incumbent candidates. I have no problem with a spirited debate and an honest difference of opinion. However, I take exception to the personal attacks and character assassination in the name of political control. These attacks are malicious and extremely personal. The slanderous comments are not based on facts

or on the issues, but rather on false information, slanting of the facts and downright lies, and I won’t dignify them with a response. This type of behavior is at the root of the problems with our political system in this country. And as the readers of the Tryon Daily Bulletin have witnessed, it starts right here at the local level. What a disgrace! I am a candidate for County Commissioner. I have the experience, vision, and leadership skills to work for the good of all citizens. And I am “Unaffiliated”, so I have no ties a political party and I am not beholden to anyone. I am just a concerned citizen who believes in fair representation, accountability, and fiscal responsibility. If you believe in these principles as I do, I would appreciate your vote on November 2nd.
