Landrum police officer killed in crash Officer was off-duty by Leah Justice
Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:
An off-duty reserve officer with the Landrum Police Department was killed in an accident early Wednesday morning. Aaron Dean Dameron, 24, was killed in a one-vehicle crash, according to the Spartanburg County Coroner’s Office. The South Carolina Highway
Patrol reports that the wreck occurred at Redland Road and Page Creek Boulevard in Landrum at 1:50 a.m. Wednesday. Dameron and his wife were traveling home in a 2001 Pontiac Sunfire, his personal vehicle. State troopers have not yet determined what caused the vehicle to lose control. The vehicle ran off the left side of the road, hit a wooden
fence and overturned. Dameron was thrown from the vehicle into a yard, and the car landed on top of him. Troopers say Dameron was not wearing a seat belt. Dameron’s wife was wearing a seat belt, troopers say. She was transported by ambulance to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center with injuries that were not lifethreatening, according to reports.

Open house for Katie Davis Saturday in Green Creek After almost two weeks of sled dog travel over 1,000 miles of rugged, arctic terrain, Katie Davis of Tryon finished her first Yukon Quest in February, 2010. She finished 20th out of 24 mushers who started the race. It took Davis about 13 days to finish the 1,000 miles. If you followed Davis in the Yukon Quest or contributed to her adventure, you are invited to an open house on Saturday, Nov. 20 from 2-5 p.m. for coffee and dessert, pictures and conversation. The open house will be held at 820 Phillips Road, Columbus (Green Creek). Please RSVP to wof1942@aol.com or 828-863-4350. The Yukon Quest was Davis’ first major race with her own

dogs that she trained. She finished the Iditarod in 2006. Davis grew up in Tryon, but now lives in Onley, Mt, where she raises sled dogs at her Evening Star Kennel. Davis started the race with 14 dogs and dropped only two during her travels.

cars. Crowell suggested that the town enforce the ordinance another way besides marking tires. Town officials said Tuesday they will look into parking enforcement once again. Some at the meeting also discussed the Tryon Downtown Development Association’s (TDDA) streetscape plan that could add plantings that residents suggested. Nancy Holmes said the streetscape plan does include trees and she thinks many people in this area would donate trees, as people donated streetlights and benches in recent years. The streetscape plan was approved around 2001 and has not yet been implemented. Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree mentioned on Tuesday that the town recently received a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation for $15,000 for the first phase of the streetscape plan. The town also allocated about $12,000 for the plan this year. Town officials said they were very pleased with the turnout and with the suggestions given. In an email to area businesses on Wednesday, town manager Justin Hembree invited business owners to a business roundtable to be held on Dec. 15 at 7 p.m. in the Tryon Fire Department. "Based on comments made during last evening’s hearing

and feedback received from individual business owners, it has occurred to me that I have done a poor job in terms of establishing a formal and open line of communication between the town and our local businesses," Hembree said in the email. "The purpose of [the business roundtable on Dec. 15] will be to discuss some specific issues facing the town, listen to your suggestions and concerns, and, most importantly, decide upon a platform that will allow for continued communication."

To the Editor: I wish to commend the Town of Tryon and, more specifically, Mr. Stephen Pace and his crew, for the good deed done for our neighborhood on Friday, Oct. 29. On that day at about 4 a.m., a large tree was blown over and suspended dangerously over our access road.
This created a situation wherein three households could not drive safely away from the neighborhood. Without being asked to do so, Mr. Pace discovered our plight and took action to bring the necessary equipment to clear the road. This was strictly an act of goodwill because we are not within the town limits and sets a wonderful example of neighborly cooperation. Much appreciation from residents of Wells Lane. – Fred Current

The Lonesome Road Band performs in Saluda Friday, November19 This week’s concert/dinner at the Historic Ward’s Grill features The Lonesome Road Band. Although the group uses the traditional tools of bluegrass in creating its music, to categorize it as bluegrass would be a misrepresentation. The group’s repertoire consists of everything from Bill Monroe’s “My Sweet Eyed Darlin’” to The Moody Blues’ “Nights In White Satin.” J. Larry Keith is the only original member of The Lonesome Road Band. He has spent years as a sideman in several successful bands in Western North Carolina. Keith spent four years working with Dolly Parton in Pigeon Forge, TN. Keith says his biggest regret in his musical life was turning down a job offer from Bill Monroe in 1982 – “What was I thinking?” He will tell you that the list of people
he owes a debt of gratitude to is a long one, most especially his wife, Denna. Paul Eaton plays guitar and is the banjo player in Charles Wood’s absence. In 2001 Eaton toured with Roger McGuinn, a founding member of The Byrds. Eaton’s thanks go to his wife, Sherry, and all the family and friends who have inspired and motivated him to pursue his love of music. Instrumentally The Lonesome Road Band is fueled in part by two time national banjo champion Charles Wood (2006 and 1999 Winfield National Banjo Champion). Wood plays all genres of music. Wood has won such prestigious banjo contests as Merlefest, Rockygrass, Renofest, and The Winfield National Banjo Contest. Wood performed with banjo
great Earl Scruggs and the actor Steve Martin at the New Yorker Festival in NYC in 2005. With this group he made an appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” Visit Wood’s website at www.charleswoodbanjo.com. “Rockin” Reese Combs is the foundation for all of The Lonesome Road Band’s music, playing stand up bass and keeping the other instruments tethered. Combs came from a musical family. He grew up playing piano and guitar and says he was inspired to play bass by his father’s love of bluegrass music. Combs and Keith say they love playing together. For more information, call Judy Ward at 828-749-2321. Doors open at 6 p.m. for dinner and music starts at 7 p.m. – article submitted
