The garden club expressed concern over silt created by the work. “Our greatest concern was silt that has to be released from the dam,” said

Tryon Garden Club President Carol Meeske. “The town is working very hard to correct the problem. We just wanted it done correctly.” The Corps of Engineers required Tryon to obtain permits for four sand bags being used for the project. Work cannot be completed until the permits are obtained and approved. Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said the Corps of Engineers originally approved the town’s environment assessment. The Garden Club raised concerns, so the town made an agreement with the garden club that it would place four sand bags to help control the silt, Hembree said. A second environmental assessment was approved by the Corps of Engineers, but concerns were again raised, Hembree said. The Corps of Engineers then discovered the town needs a permit in order to place the sand bags. Hembree said the town is now waiting on engineers to get plans to the Corps of Engineers for approval. He said the work left will only take about a day to complete.

“By finishing this work, that should allow us to complete the rehab project,” Hembree said. “I’m hoping this will be done within two months at the most because the longer it takes us to get this project done, the more it’s costing the town’s water customers.” The rehab project was originally scheduled to be completed in April 2010, and estimates later last year were for the completion be done at the end of the year. The upgrades began in 2009, with the project expected to take one year. The town’s plant, located off Carolina Drive, first went online in 1988. It needed the upgrades to meet current state guidelines. Tryon financed the approximately $3 million project. Prior to 1988, mountain water was Tryon’s only water source, but the town abandoned the mountain water when it constructed the water plant and began using water from Lake Lanier. The town owns the lake bed of Lake Lanier and has jurisdiction over the water. Following a drought in 2003, when the town had to impose (Continued on page 7)

Ron Messer

Maxfield, Messer honored by Glassy Mountain Fire Department The Glassy Mountain Fire Department (GMFD) recently named its 2010 award recipients for service to the community. The Troy Cecil Pruitt Firefighter of the Year Awards for 2010 were presented to Charles Maxfield of Landrum, Volunteer of the Year, and Captain Adam Brown of Lyman, Career Firefighter of the Year. The Officer of the Year award was presented to Lieutenant Ron Messer of Landrum. The awards were presented by Chief Bryan Riebe and John Ball, chairman of the Awards Task Force, during Glassy Mountain Fire Department’s annual Christmas and awards

banquet. “We are very proud of all our firefighting staff, both career and volunteer, but we are always in need of more volunteers – firefighters and first responders – especially as our community continues to grow,” Chief Riebe said. “However, many folks may not know that we also need help from citizens who can provide support to the district such as mechanical, electrical, technical, legal assistance, etc – it doesn’t have to be fighting fires.” If anyone wants more information on how to become part of the GMFD team, contact Chief Riebe at 864-895-4306 or go to www.gmfd.net. – article submitted

plete replacement of wiring and plumbing lines and fixtures was necessary to match today’s standards. Only one original light fixture was in the house when purchased, and all fireplace mantles had been removed. The kitchen presented a distinct challenge. Only partial cabinets were left by previous residents, which had to be matched. Walls, almost two inches thick, presented their own problems, and refurbishment of the horse hair plaster proved a tedious task.

The home is located on one of three adjoining tracts, which Dr. Morrow purchased in 1907, 1909 and 1911 – comprising a total of 212 acres – between Middle Tyger River and Goodjoin Road. It is near the intersection of Goodjoin Road and Morrow Drive. Dr. Morrow served families of Gowensville, Oak Grove, Motlow Creek, Ebenezer Welcome and Glassy Mountain communities until his death, at age 76, in 1940. – article submitted

“NINA” by Jonathan Green

Nina Simone Festival reveals poster Anticipation builds about the recently announced Nina Simone World Music Festival, scheduled for Sept. 9-11, 2011 in Tryon. The music festival in the name of Nina Simone includes local, regional and (inter)national talents performing a range of music genres on multiple stages in the North Carolina Blue Ridge birthplace of Simone. Nina Simone Project (NSP) founder and director Dr. Crys Armbrust released information recently detailing the poster for the inaugural festival celebration of the internationally famed, North Carolinaborn singer and activist. The oversized poster, depicting a powerful image of Simone, features artist Jonathan Green’s painting “NINA” (2009). A limited number of the poster’s printing run will be signed by

the artist. Green is acclaimed as one of the most important painters of the southern experience. “I approached the creation of ‘Nina’ as a privilege to express my interpretation of the power, force, passion, and vulnerability of a gifted genius of music and performance,” Green said. That interpretation, Armbrust asserts, captures, in the words of Green, “the incredible legacy Dr. Nina Simone gave to our culture and heritage.” “The Nina Simone Project,” Armbrust said, “expresses its deep appreciation to Mr. Green for his generous sharing of talent and vision to support the NSP’s mission and goals.” Nina Simone World Music Festival information will be regularly updated at www. ninasimoneproject.org. – article submitted

deaths of 4-5 million cats and dogs in shelters alone, and countless more starving, hit by cars or killed by other animals. Irresponsible owners, breeders and puppy mills produce this tragedy. Female dogs and cats are able to reproduce at six months of age and can give birth to more than 15 animals each year, which has produced an exponential population explosion. Despite the odds, a local nonprofit working hard to give those animals a chance at a decent life is finding success. Foothills Humane Society opened the county’s only open-admission animal shelter in 1990. In 2010, FHS finally became an “adoption guarantee shelter,” one where no healthy or treatable, temperamentally adoptable animal is destroyed. The shelter’s 2010 “live release rate” for all animals was 98.7 percent. It is a major accomplishment and shows better results than reported by the top “no-kill” shelters in the country. “This is a big improvement
