Tryon Daily Bulletin celebrates 83 years by Barbara Tilly
Today the Tryon Daily Bulletin celebrates its 83rd birthday – this is the first issue of the paper’s 84th year. Our approach to celebrating our anniversary this year was inspired by some historical artifacts still in the Bulletin offices today – an old wooden rack of Linotype photo and type blocks in the hallway outside the editorial offices. Some of the people in the photo blocks are identified, but many are not. Perhaps if we published images of these blocks, we thought, readers might be able to identify some of the unknown people. A few of those images are presented with this article; others will be published in the next couple of weeks, along with stories about how the Bulletin has been produced over the years. The images will also be available (Continued on page 3)

Over the next few weeks, the Bulletin will publish some of these images and post them on Facebook. If you can identify anyone in the images, or if you have stories to share about any of the photos, please let us know. You can comment on Facebook, e-mail samantha.hurst@tryondailybulletin.com, call Samantha Hurst or Barbara Tilly (828859-9151) or just stop by the Bulletin office in Tryon. (photos by Leah Justice)

Polk approves $144K bid for Peniel Road water line Line to bring water to proposed Green Creek restaurant by Leah Justice
Polk County commissioners awarded a $144,120 contract bid to Clark Ledbetter Grading last week to extend the county's Green Creek water line to the Peniel Road intersection along Hwy. 9. The water line will
supply water to a proposed restaurant near the Hwy. 9 intersection in Green Creek. Jason Schlabach approached the county last year requesting water service for the restaurant he is proposing to open. Commissioners decided to grant the request and extend the line to the Peniel Road intersection off Hwy. 9 in Green Creek. Because

12/9 the restaurant and other possible developmentmelm-040418 resulting from the
water line extension would create jobs, the N.C. Rural Economic Development Center awarded Polk a $30,750 grant for the water line. The county plans to fund the remainder of the extension partly from budgeted funds for water line extensions and partly from the county’s fund balance. Commissioners met Jan. 24 with county engineer Dave Odom regarding the bids. The county received 12 total bids for the project, ranging from $144,120 to $223,061. Odom had projected the cost of the extension to be approximately $180,000. Odom told commissioners last week that the restaurant project’s sewage system, which will cost approximately $250,000, is complicated because the restaurant is proposed at 120 seats and a shopping center is also planned for the property. The project was supposed to receive a permit last June, but it has been delayed be-
cause of its size and complexity. Larger systems have to be permitted through the state. Odom said the state requires an additional permit that will cost another $1,500. Commissioners agreed to pay that $1,500 in an effort to speed up the permitting process. They expressed concern over the length of time the project is taking, saying the grant has time constraints. Odom said the grant most likely will require that jobs be created in a year. Commissioners expressed concern over the state requiring a second permit for the project. “We talk about wanting jobs and we want to help people and here we have a guy who wants to open a 120-seat restaurant and he can’t get past go,” said commissioner Cindy Walker. Odom said there’s no question the permit will be approved. He added that pipe pricing recently escalated and the low bid pricing will be locked in through the end of January. If commissioners wait longer than that to approve the bid, the price of the project could increase, Odom said.

tion of its current building, which was enlarged after 1918. Later, the newspaper expanded into other spaces in the building. The Bulletin was published six times a week until World War II, when supplies and personnel became scarce. The circulation of the Bulletin more than doubled during the war years, according to employee Garland Goodwin, who still writes a column for the Bulletin today. Subscriptions were entered for the men and women away from home. Goodwin came in every afternoon after school to single-wrap and bundle the little papers for mailing to places all over the country and overseas. In the Bulletin’s 70th anniversary special edition, John A. (Jack) Stephenson recalled daily life in what is now the first floor of the Bulletin office when he bought the Hester-Richardson Insurance business in the late 1950s.

He did every-
thing at the paper from sweeping floors to selling ads and covering sports. On Dec. 31, 1975, Pop Vining retired. Seth Jr. and Bos took over the daily operation of the paper. Seth Jr. followed in his father’s footsteps, literally, going from store to store selling ads and asking about news, covering Tryon, Landrum and Columbus. In terms of policy, the Vinings tried to “keep the paper as neutral as possible,” Seth Jr. said. “We didn’t editorialize,” he continued, recalling only one instance when the paper took a stand, in defense of a high school football coach. “It was a great crew,” the Vinings said in an interview in the Bulletin’s 75th anniversary special edition. In January 1987, Pop Vining died at the age of 86. Much was lost with his death, Seth Jr. said. “Dad had so much stuff in his head. When he died it all went with him.” In November 1989, Seth Jr. (Continued on page 7)

A statement from the center, which is headed by Dr. Arthur Robbins, said the closure is a voluntary decision and the facility is not being shut down by any state or federal authority. *** The River Ministries has unveiled a new website, located at www.theriverministries. com.

Polk Extension Center to offer Master Gardener classes Master Gardener volunteers are individuals with an interest in both gardening and volunteer service. If you want to learn more about growing plants in the foothills, are willing to attend training one day a week for 12 weeks, and have the desire and time to commit 40 hours of volunteer service, this program may be for you. This spring the Polk County Center of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service will offer its 13th Master Gardener class. Master Gardeners will get training on topics such as lawn care, tree and shrub
identification and care and how to produce quality fruits and vegetables. The individuals involved must also possess an interest in sharing their gardening knowledge with others. You do not have to be an experienced gardener to participate. An application process will be used to help choose the local Master Gardener volunteers. If selected, you will attend special Master Gardener classes taught and coordinated by John Vining of the Polk County Extension Center. This year’s class will have room for 12 participants and will meet on Thursdays.
A fee is charged for the program to offset the cost of a large Master Gardener manual. This manual is packed full of horticultural information and becomes the personal property of each Master Gardener. Program participants will receive a minimum of 40 hours of instruction on all aspects of gardening. In addition, a few special field trips will be planned to better inform the future extension volunteers. After the training is finished, graduates of the program are expected to volunteer at least 40 hours of work back to the
local extension horticulture programs. This can be done in a variety of ways from answering garden questions by phone, to working with community garden projects during normal business hours. Classes will be scheduled for each Thursday and are expected to begin in mid-March. The deadline for applications is Friday, Feb. 18 at 5 p.m. To receive an application or to learn more about the training dates, come by or call the Polk County Extension Center at 828-894-8218. – article submitted

St. Luke’s announces Annual Ache Around the Lake Design Contest Ache Around the Lake event organizers announced the 2011 Ache Around the Lake Design Competition. This design contest is free and open to artists of all ages and levels of expertise. Ache Around the Lake is a USATF-certified 8K loop around Lake Lanier and the Ouch is a shorter two-mile fun run. Others choose to support the event by dining at the historic Lake Lanier Tea House for brunch, enjoying foods along with views of the lake as the runners and walkers make their way to the finish line. The design entry that most clearly illustrates the fun, the challenge and the scenic beauty of this event will be selected by a panel of judges. The winner will receive recognition, publicity, an art showing at the hospital, one complimentary race entry, two complimentary race morning brunch tickets, two T-shirts and
two posters. The winning design will be reproduced on a minimum of 200 race T-shirts, as well as on all posters, brochures and printed marketing materials. The design will be featured on the race website along with an artist profile. The original artwork will be displayed in the reception area of St. Luke’s Hospital from April 1, 2011 until the race date of Saturday, Sept. 24, 2011. Artwork will be featured at the race morning brunch at the Lake Lanier Tea House. The specifications for the design entry are as follows: 1. All media will be accepted (including graphic art). 2. Colors must be limited to three as printing will be a threecolor process. 3. Overall size should not exceed 36 inches x 36 inches, however, 20 inches x 30 inches is ideal. Width should be smaller
than length (portrait orientation). 4. The artist/designer must include the following in the design: a. 6th Annual Ache Around the Lake 8K; b. The Ouch; c. Lake Lanier, Tryon, NC; d.

HiaLeaH, FL. -- an ingredient used to treat inflammation in thoroughbred racehorse legs, is now recognized as safe and effective for human use. the ingredient has been formulated into a product called artH arreSttm and comes in a strength designed for humans. developed by a pharmacist and a chemist, the artH arreSt formula is a breakthrough in the treatment of painful disorders ranging from minor aches and pains to more serious conditions such as arthritis. researchers are excited and say the formula can relieve arthritis pain for millions. Scientists suggest that artH arreSt works by intercepting the pain messenger substance that sends pain signals to the brain. although the mechanism is not totally clear, pain is relieved in the affected area because the pain signal actually disappears with continued use.. artH arreSt is the only product on the market with neurocaine and is available in a convenient, roll-on applicator without a prescription. considered a medical miracle by some, artH arrreSt is available in pharmacies or by calling 1-800-339-3301. now in columbus at:

Letter to the Editor
Social discourse To the Editor: I’m going to miss Don Weathington’s columns. (TDB 1-19) Responding to “Birdland” ideas has kept my thinking and writing skills sharp (or at least not dull). In his latest, he laments the extension of the “Bush Tax Cuts.” The liberals got three of their agenda items (repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, start treaty and extended unemployment benefits) and gave one. A great deal for them, I’d say. Further, he dismisses the Laffer curve (how lowering taxes actually increases economic activity) as te “laughter” curve. Good line, Don. However, decreasing taxes HAS increased revenue – Kennedy in the 60s, Reagan and Bush. Economies do not turn on a dime. The effect is never immediate. Liberals think that lowering taxes caused our economic “meltdown.” Basically, the trou-
ble began with the government forcing banks to give mortgages, under threat of “investigations,” to people who patently could not afford them. Thank you, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Results: foreclosures and bankruptcies. Don takes issue with the “Republican agenda” stating that it “never seemed to represent the values on which the nation was founded – equal opportunity and Christian values.” This is way, way, WAY over the top. Republicans tend to be conservative (I wish it were more universal). Who is it that advocates for keeping “God” in the pledge, gives more to private charities (than liberals) and dare I say, “clings to God and guns?” As for equal opportunity, the Constitution provides for that but not equality of outcomes. We already have the richest “poor” on earth. Our “least” is better by far than the “least” in any other country. Bless you, Don, and thank you. — Bob Neubauer

Lionel (“Garry”) Garrison passed peacefully on Jan. 13, 2011 at his home in Tryon Estates at the age of 93. He was born on July 5, 1917 in Estill County, Kentucky and spent his youth in and around the small town of Rogers, until attending Lee’s College in are reading this ad Jackson, Ky.

Home-ported in Pearl Harbor, she was ordered to travel to Bremerton, Wash., to receive new gun mounts and a technological innovation, radar. While in Bremerton, Lionel continued to think of Martha and come September took the bold step of mailing her an engagement ring. She responded by boarding a train in Chicago and traveling west; they married the day following her arrival. Assigned to the Pacific arena throughout WWII, Lionel advanced to main battery officer in charge of forward mounts, including the massive 16-inch guns. Receiving more “well done”s than any other ship in the Navy, the U.S.S. Colorado was privileged to be in port to witness the surrender of Ja-

pan. Within four years, Lionel achieved the rank of lieutenant commander, and retired from active duty in 1946. Over the years the growing family lived throughout the Midwest and eastern U.S. until moving to St. Croix, Virgin Islands in 1964 to manage a newly opened propane gas company. Six years later Lionel formed a roofing company, still operated today by his youngest daughter and son-in-law. In 1983, Lionel and Martha returned to the States and settled in North Carolina, first near Asheville and then Columbus. They were among the original residents of Tryon Estates in 1992. Lionel was dedicated to the service of others, most notably children in need. Long affiliated with the Masons, he served in the Shrine Clubs of the Virgin Islands, Asheville, N.C., and Hendersonville, N.C., to assist countless numbers of children to receive orthopedic help. A lover of spirited dialogue and a champion for improvement, Lionel worked tirelessly to benefit those around him. He served as the first president of the residents’ association at Tryon Estates, unofficial culinary liaison, and due to his love of golf persuaded local courses to provide special accommodation to his fellow residents. Lionel is survived by Martha, his wife of nearly 70 years, and their four children: Lionel of Englewood, N.J., Edward of the Navajo Nation, Ariz., Martha Bressi and Joanna Isherwood, both of St. Croix, as well as ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren due in the spring. A private memorial service is planned for February, at which time the family will gather from far and wide to remember a man who loved his family beyond measure, and will not soon be forgotten.

She continued her nonprofit career for more than nine years as executive director until 2010. The column will provide guidance for nonprofit leaders, from Le Roy’s perspective as a leader in both the nonprofit and for profit business world. The column does not reflect the views of any organization she is or has been affiliated with.
Drama in the streets of London “Oliver!” isn’t just about singing and dancing, it gets a little rough at times too, especially when you mix in a villain like Bill Sykes who is quick with his fists and doesn’t mind if he connects them with anyone who gets in his way. That’s true even if that person is much weaker – like a woman or a child. But Nancy, his longtime, long-suffering girlfriend, has had about enough. Susie Kocher plays Nancy, who goes out on a limb to protect young Oliver from a fate that is “all that’s bad.” Locals have seen Kocher in many TLT productions. She’s joined by Edward Harrelson playing Bill Sykes, the vicious reprobate, and their scenes together are spirited and fiery, to say the least. This is Harrelson’s first TLT appearance. An attorney by day, he’s enjoyed “watching several plays that TLT has put on, and the quality is always very good,” he said. For “Oliver!” he’s been working closely with Lavin Cuddihee (who plays Fagin) and Kocher “to develop our on-stage interaction,” he said,
