Top news stories in 2010: weather, elections, recession by Leah Justice

Happy

New Year! Tryon’s annual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop will occur at 10 p.m. tonight in downtown Tryon at the Rotary Clock Tower Plaza. Everyone is invited to join in the festivities.

Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:

The top stories in the Thermal Belt in 2010 were similar to those in the rest of the country: the weather, elections and the recession. The Thermal Belt area experienced an exciting and unusual year in weather, with a major ice storm, several wind storms and more than average snowfall, including the first white Christmas since 1963. The area was also greatly affected by the recession, with higher than normal unemployment rates that reached 10 percent. Organizations such as the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry made headlines several times throughout the year, as they sought more funding to meet the exceptional rises in numbers of people seeking financial and food assistance.

viction but later accepted the district court sentence. He was placed on 30 days of electronic monitoring for violating probation. The Jay Clark V murder case was also wrapped up this year. Ida Hayes Clark’s jail sentence was suspended and she was placed on probation for accessory after the fact of murder. Other notable news in 2010 was the canceling and reorganization of the Blue Ridge Barbecue festival. The Foothills Chamber of Commerce announced in January that it had canceled the annual event because profits were not enough for the tremendous effort and resources it takes to put on the event. A public outcry over the cancelation ended with 75 residents and businesses each making $1,000 pledges to place in the festival’s rainy day fund. The festival, which is North Carolina's annual barbecue championship, was held in a slightly scaled down version. Also locally noteworthy this year was Tryon's 125th anniversary. The town celebrated with a festival in early September and other events throughout the year. In local government news this year, the Polk County Board of Commissioners completed renovations to a new adult day care center to be run by Rutherford Life Services. The county also began constructing a new department of social services building off Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring. The building size and location

were topics of controversy throughout the year, especially during the elections. The new building will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. Polk County and the towns of Columbus, Tryon and Saluda also agreed to once again hold joint meetings in an attempt to consolidate some services. The main topic has been joining water forces by creating a joint water authority. Joint meetings several years ago on the same topic ceased after the county and towns could not come to an agreement. The next joint meeting is Jan. 11. Chocolate Drop development was also in the news several times in 2010, especially following heavy spring rains. Erosion problems on the mountain caused the Town of Columbus to close a road because of safety concerns. Seven lot owners sued the developers, claiming they were sold property that wasn’t buildable. The State of North Carolina also sued developers for not correcting erosion violations. The area also lost several notable residents in 2010. The area mourned the passing of former Polk County commissioners Sue Cochran, Earl Foy and Bill McKaig. Former Columbus Town Manager Glenn Rhodes also passed away this year, as did several other well-known community members, including Tom Mosca and recently Chuck Ross, both of whom were both instrumental in the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club and Block House Steeplechase.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson didn’t like their house anymore; So they got a “For Sale” sign at the hardware store. The first couple looking said, “The kitchen’s too small.” So Craftsman Services came in to remodel and bump out a wall. The next couple looking said, “The bathrooms are old.” So Craftsman Services came in to help get it sold. With sparkling new baths the Johnsons resumed; Their efforts to sell a house, seeming doomed To hang 'round their necks like the old albatross; But they kept their resolve not to sell at a loss. Then a third couple came to look at the place; But the entryway “lacked proportion and grace.” So Craftsman Services came to the rescue once more With a neat portico and a beautiful door. Now people are always offering to buy the Johnson’s “new” home with offers sky high. But the Johnsons so love their house, now so nice; They’ve decided against selling at any price! e Tub ideo" u o Y V s on rvices u e Se an Se ftsm Cra

Scherping and Miller visit Tryon Kiwanis Club to speak about China trip On Wednesday, Sept. 29, Dave Scherping and Bill Miller from Polk County Schools Administration spoke to the Tryon Kiwanis Club about their visit to China. Scherping and Miller were participants in a partnership between the Center for International Understanding at UNC Chapel Hill and the College Board. They recommended two books, “China in the 21st Century” and “The Post-American World,” as resources for understanding China. As a result of their visit and the partnership, Polk County Schools was chosen to host a Chinese teacher, Fung Lay. She began teaching Oct. 11 and is spending time in the elementary schools telling students about Chinese culture. Lay’s primary job is at Polk Middle School where a few students will learn some Mandarin language. Lay will also spend six weeks at a time with a large group of students

Pictured (from left) are Kiwanian Charlotte Sullivan, Fung Lay, Dave Scherping and Steve Cobb. (photo submitted)

Q. How do I evaluate a corporate trustee? A. Talk to several. ask how long the trust department or company has been in business, how many trusts do they manage, minimum and average sizes of the trusts and how much experience the staff has. Compare investment returns and fees. ask to see samples of statements or reports and see if you understand them clearly. Facts are important, so are the people. Do they seem to care? Do they listen? How comfortable are you that they will be there for your family when needed. remember, a corporate trustee need not be the sole trustee. If you are concerned about the “human” touch, you can always appoint a co-trustee who is a family member or friend. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.
