Handcrafted wearable art by local artist Chris Baschon by Robin A. Edgar

Local artist Chris Rough Baschon, appears to have finally found her creative niche. Moving to Tryon three years ago, the former art teacher offered private art lessons and taught mandala workshops (see www.thecirclewithin.com) until this past fall, when she took a wearable art design workshop with Christine Mariotti. Learning how to employ a mild bleaching technique that pulls the color out of previously dyed fabric, bringing out a design in the lighter tones, she made a few samples. The (Continued on page 3)

Columbus to seek state loan, grant for wastewater treatment plant upgrades by Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus is considering seeking a state loan and grant to complete upgrades to its wastewater treatment plant. The town previously considered seeking a USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) loan and grant, which could take a couple of years to secure.

Columbus council members have expressed some concern over the terms of the USDA loan, which would be paid back over 40 years. The state option would be a 20year loan. The town can still apply for the USDA option if it does not secure state funding. Columbus council toured the town’s wastewater treatment

response to her work has been so positive, she decided to devote her artistic and entrepreneurial talents to making wearable art and has been up to her neck – in T-shirts, that is – ever since. “I am working in the negative and getting positive results,” said Baschon, who named her new business Rough Designs: Uniquely Handcrafted Wearable Art. Born in Columbia, S.C., Baschon grew up in Spartanburg. She attended Spartanburg public schools, where her high school art teacher, Macarthur Goodwin, encouraged her to continue pursuing her art. Graduating from the University of South Carolina (U.S.C.) with a bachelor’s degree in art in 1977, she earned a degree in art education 20 years later from Lander University in Greenwood, S.C. She went on to teach art in Greenwood for 13

The Town of Tryon is considering going as “paperless” as possible for town meeting information packets. Tryon Town Council discussed Tuesday, Jan. 18 council members receiving monthly packets via e-mail instead of picking up printed packets. The town is considering purchasing either laptops or a device such as an iPad to receive and view monthly packets for meetings. Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said he estimates that with printing and employee time, the town probably spends between $4,000 and $5,000 per year on monthly packets, not including large budget packets.

Council members said they are in favor of the idea and hope that going paperless for meetings could set an example for the rest of town employees. Hembree said other local governments that receive data through a laptop or other device are given the option at the end of their elected terms to either turn in the device or purchase it at its depreciated value. Town officials said if the town goes paperless for agenda packets, copies will still be available for residents who request them at town hall. Residents may also opt to request agendas via e-mail. Hembree plans to research costs of devices for council.

Water line break spills almost 100k gallons in Tryon by Leah Justice

A main water line break in Tryon Tuesday afternoon spilled just under 100,000 gallons and shut off water to a block of downtown businesses and residents for about four hours. The break occurred at the top of School Street, near Tryon Elementary School, around 1:45 p.m. Public works employees and police officers rerouted school traffic at 3 p.m. Town public works crews completed repairs to the line by 8:30 p.m., with water restored to businesses by 6:30 p.m. Tryon Public Works Director Joel Burrell said the total water loss, including flushing the line, is estimated between 200,000 and 250,000 gallons. The cause, he said, was weather related, from changing temperatures and aged infrastructure.

TBOM celebrates 20th anniversary with tea Feb. 13 Tea honors founder Eloise Thwing

After five years of studying and researching poverty in Polk County in the late 1980s, the Church Women United, founders of the 20-year-old Thermal Belt Outreach Ministries, saw a real need. Before they could begin addressing that need, they first had to convince their neighbors that poverty was a problem. Average citizens in Polk County “still did not believe we had the amount of poverty reported by this research team,” according to the history of Thermal Belt Outreach Ministries. “An invitation was given to the community to join these women on field trips out into the low income areas of Polk County.” Polk County Transportation Department buses were loaded up, and eyes were opened. Now, after 20 years of helping in a growing, changing ministry to the disadvantaged, the men and women of Thermal Belt Outreach Ministries are inviting the community to a very different occasion. Thermal Belt Outreach will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a Valentine High Tea to be held in honor of Outreach’s founder and executive director Eloise Thwing. The tea will be held Sunday, Feb. 13, from 4 - 6 p.m. at Tryon Estates, and will feature five gourmet teas, coffee, punch, scones, pinwheel sandwiches, fruits, cheeses and chocolate Western Highlands macaroons. A slide show on multiple Area Authority screens will play back the 20-year history in pictures, and former meeting Feb. 4 chairman and Columbus United The next regular meeting of Methodist pastor, the Rev. Tony the Western Highlands Area Sayer, will be on hand to offer a Authority Board of Directors will tribute to Thwing. be Friday, Feb. 4 at 9:30 a.m. at Tickets are on sale at area the Polk County Public Library in banks and at Vera’s of Landrum.

Women United to do something about area poverty. They had just learned from the National Church Women United headquarters that they were living in one of America’s top 200 counties by the measure of poverty per capita. The national Church Women headquarters agreed to fund a study, and for five years the women made trips to Atlanta twice a year to learn how to research poverty and set up a non-profit to assist those in need. When the time came to stop studying and do something, Thwing was fortunate to find a friend in the newly appointed pastor of Columbus United Methodist Church, Tony Sayer. With his recommendation, the church agreed to offer the new organization a Sunday School room and free utilities. Dick Thwing paid for the installation of a telephone and on Feb. 2, 1991 Thermal Belt Outreach opened its doors for business. Eloise Thwing was chairman of the board, and within months would become executive director. Since that time, Thermal Belt Outreach has added programs, helped to establish a dental clinic and apartment complex and moved into its own buildings. Highlights of that history will be told in a series of articles to follow. – article submitted

Dr. Viar joins St. Luke’s Hospital’s physician network St. Luke’s Hospital announces that Dr. Jeffrey Viar has joined the St. Luke’s Physician Network (SLPN). SLPN, a subsidiary of St. Luke’s Healthcare Inc, was created in 2008 to ensure local access to general and specialized medical services. The network now includes family practice, general surgery and orthopaedic services. Dr. Viar joins Dr. Jim Holleman and Dr. Augustus “Gus” Dozier of Holleman Surgical and Dr. Brian Rosenberg of Rosenberg Bone and Joint. Originally from Florida and no stranger to Polk County, Dr. Viar has served patients in his Columbus office, Foothills Medical Associates, for 11 years. “I love being a family physician,” said Dr. Viar. “I had one day where I treated a one-week old baby that morning and ended my day with a 100-year-old

patient. I love the variety and being able to help all people. By joining the St. Luke’s Physician Network, I will be able to continue to serve my patients just as I have been doing.” Dr. Viar, his staff and physician assistant Janet Howell assure patients that they will not see any differences. He will also remain very involved in the Polk Wellness Center as the medical director and physician for the center. Polk Wellness Center provides a holistic approach, using an integrated model offering primary care and mental health care for those in need with no insurance or inadequate insurance. Dr. Viar is board certified in family medicine. He’s a member of the American Osteopathic Association, the American Academy of Family Practice and the American Medical Association. Receiving his undergraduate

degree from the Southern College in Tennessee, he attended the University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine in Kansas City, Mo., where he obtained a doctorate of osteopathy. He completed his family medicine residency at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center. “As the medical community comes together to ensure healthcare remains accessible, St. Luke’s Physician Network will allow for improved capabilities, resources, efficiencies and quality through clinical integration and coordination of care,” said Ken Shull, president/chief executive officer of St. Luke’s Hospital. “This affiliation will better prepare our physicians and our hospital for impending reform in healthcare delivery and reimbursement.” When Dr. Viar is not seeing patients in the office, he enjoys

Candlemas concert Jan. 30 St. James Episcopal Church in Hendersonville will hold its 21st - annual Candlemas concert at 4 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 30. The program will consist of piano trios performed by a new WNC chamber music organization, Classicopia. The concert will feature works by Mendelssohn and Brahms, performed by Daniel Weiser on piano, Kara Poorbaugh, violin/viola, and Franklin Keel, cello. The yearly benefit concert for outreach celebrates the ancient Christian holiday of “Candlemas,” commemorating Mary’s return to the temple at Jerusalem to present her son to God. Weiser is the artistic director of Classicopia, an organization he co-founded in 2001 in New Hampshire dedicated to performing high-quality chamber music in intimate settings using talented local musicians. The organization is expanding into this region with Weiser’s move to Asheville last year. Weiser has a doctorate in piano performance from Peabody Conservatory and has performed around the world as a U.S. Artistic Ambassador of Music. Until recently he was on the music faculties of Dartmouth College

and St. Paul’s School, in Concord, N.H. Poorbaugh and Keel, both graduates of the Eastman School of Music, have been active performers in this area for several years as members of the Opal String Quartet and as principals in the Asheville and Hendersonville symphonies. Keel now teaches music in the Hendersonville schools. In addition to Mendelssohn’s “D Minor Trio” and the Brahm’s “A Minor Trio,” the ensemble anticipates playing a couple of short trios by Astor Piazzolla. Proceeds from this year’s concert have been designated for local hunger and poverty relief and will be divided equally between Interfaith Assistance Ministry and The Storehouse. The price of admission includes a catered candlelight reception in the parish hall following the concert. Tickets are available at the St. James receptionist desk, the Henderson County Visitor Information Center, Hand in Hand Gallery in Flat Rock and Diamond Rush Jewelry in Laurel Park Village. Any remaining tickets will be available at the door. – article submitted

4-H teaches PCHS students to sew The end of the 2010 fall semester, students in Mrs. Bowman’s teen living classes at Polk County High School (PCHS) learned sewing basics from Polk County 4-H Program Assistant Helen Clark. Clark, who also helps oversee the county 4-H sewing program, has been helping with the PCHS class for the past three years. “This is a great opportunity for our students to learn sew-

ing through a terrific resource like Mrs. Clark,” said Bowman, teacher at PCHS. “Our students always learn a great deal and have a lot of fun while learning to sew. Without Mrs. Clark and 4-H, we could not provide this educational opportunity.” This year 37 students ranging from ninth to 11th grade participated in this special project. – article submitted

homes with a traditional family. Big Brothers Big Sisters also has volunteers who serve as mentors for elementary school students who need a little extra attention in school. Many citizens don’t realize there is such a need for mentors for area children, but BBBS always has a list of children, especially boys, waiting for a Big Brother or Big Sister, and area schools request more volunteers than are enrolled. According to BBBS, youth matched with an adult mentor have increased self-confidence, better relationships with others, improved school performance and are less likely to engage in risky behavior. BBBS is supported solely through the generosity of the community, whether through grants, business sponsorships for fundraising events, bequests or private contributions. All gifts are welcome.

Parsons was first matched with her Little Brother in a school match when he was in first grade and needed a little extra attention at school. The match eventually transitioned to a communitybased match, and then Giannini got involved too. Now in middle school, Russell consistently makes the honor roll. Giannini and Parsons provide experiences to help broaden their Little Brother’s horizons in life, including holding a chess club at their Morning Glory Farm. Russell has been taking guitar lessons for several years and also went to beekeeping class with his Big Sister. Most of the children in the Big Brothers Big Sisters communitybased program are from singleparent homes. Some live with a grandparent or other relatives, some have a parent who has died or is in prison and very few live in

A Seasonal Assistance Grant, awarded to BBBS by the Polk County Community Foundation, was also used to purchase supplies for the party and gifts for the children, but primarily supplied Bi-Lo grocery gift cards for the families of each Little matched in the Big Brothers Big Sisters community and school programs. This grant ensured that the children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters had food during the holiday season. This year’s Big Brothers Big Sisters holiday party was again hosted by Big Couple Lynne Parsons and Ernie Giannini.
