Tryon ABC store’s future at risk by Leah Justice

After being open since 1951, Tryon’s ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) store is in jeopardy of closing. Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree Tuesday, March 15 told town council revenues are declining. ABC store manager Susan Blanton recently resigned because she was moving out of the area and an interim manager has been hired, Hembree said. Blanton did a great job over the past nine years keeping the books in order,

Hembree said, but declining sales have caused the store to operate at a deficit. Hembree said the store has gone into reserves and there was concern recently that the store should close immediately. Hembree said he met with Blanton and the ABC board and they decided now is not the appropriate time to close. Revenues and operations need to be seriously looked at, Hembree said, and there is a possibility some changes

Fiscal year 2009 saw a net loss of more than $9,000 and 2010 ended with a net loss of more than $1,000. “The ABC board and former general manager have held expenses under control,” said Tryon’s accountant William Crook, CPA, PA. “However, sales have dropped as a result of the reopening of the liquor store just over the state line and the loss of a number of restaurants serving mixed beverages.” Crook also said the cost structure of a single store supporting administrative overhead, such as paying for an audit and general

Hembree will serve as the board’s chair for the next six months. Council will review the store’s situation in about six months to determine whether it will continue to operate.

Why Haven't Back Pain Sufferers Been Told These Facts? Now, in Forest City, NC, one doctor has what may be the most important breakthrough in nonsurgical back pain treatments. Patients are showing a success rate of 70%-88% in our office – even with the most painful cases of L4-L5 herniations. Let’s face it... If the pain hasn’t gone away by now, it’s not likely to disappear on its own. Having back pain can feel like a crippling condition. You might not be able to play golf, work, or even sit in the car for a 30-minute drive. It’s almost impossible for anyone around you to understand how you feel. You can’t remember the last time you even had a restful night’s sleep. Finally, there's a treatment to conquer back and leg pain without dangerous medications or painful surgery. When cushions in your back joints, called discs, get injured or wear out, they begin to degenerate and cause pain. Bulging and herniations begin to form, pressing on the nerve roots. The most common invasive treatment for disc herniations is surgery. Even with health insurance the patient is left with their own portion of the bill, in excess of $10,000$15,000, and sometimes more. In addition, the recovery time and missed work can be anywhere from 3 to 6 months, not to mention the obvious severe risks associated with all surgeries. Before You Go Under The Knife And Opt For Spinal Surgery…… You should seriously consider a less invasive approach called spinal decompression. Non-surgical spinal decompression is a new technology that has been proven to help disc herniations. It creates a vacuum effect on the disc, which pulls the disc back into its normal position and brings in a fresh blood supply to promote healing.

Will This Work For You? While non-surgical spinal decompression is a rather new treatment, there's plenty of research to back up its claims. Here are just a handful of scientific studies… “86% of the 219 patients who completed the therapy reported immediate resolution of symptoms” – Orthopedic Technology Review

Preservation of Tryon icon a worthwhile campaign “Morris the Horse” stands nobly at attention as an ambassador for the Town of Tryon. He’s donned a top hat without protest, proudly proclaimed news of upcoming charity events and braved the snow without the slightest neigh of complaint. This symbol of Tryon’s history, erected first in 1928, deserves a bit of restoration for his years of perseverance against the elements and even fire! You might have seen a recent article in the Bulletin regarding the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club’s kind donation of Morris to the town. John Gargiulo, owner of The Shops of Tryon, implored TR&HC Executive Director Laura Weicker to have the club consider transfering ownership of Morris from the club to the town several months ago. Morris serves as such a gallant representative of the town. Now Gargiulo and others in the area hope to see Tryon give back to Morris. “Morris is the symbol of Tryon and right now Morris is very tired and not in the best of shape any longer,” Gargiulo said. “We feel Tryon’s symbol needs to be a pristine piece of artwork.” Over the next few weeks and months, Gargiulo said he, along with the town, hopes to launch a “Save Morris” campaign. The city, in the meantime, must determine whether the current Morris can be repaired or if it is necessary to replace him altogether. Estimates for repairing Morris average around $5,000 with it likely costing more to replace him. Replacing him, though, could mean the statue will last longer, Gargiulo said. Regardless of the final decision, we implore local citizens and anyone who cherishes Morris to pitch in ideas, pitch in money, pitch in support, whatever you are able to do to save this icon. After all, try taking a spring stroll through the streets of Tryon without seeing the jolly face of “Morris the Horse” peeking out of shop windows to greet passersby. What would Tryon be without its quirky friend Morris the Horse? — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Comments on stories found online at Tryondailybulletin.com From: NCELI nceli@windstream.net: In response to: “PCHS gets high marks” on March 17 Mr. Greene and his staff work very hard for the students of PCHS, and the numbers of incidents at the school possibly would be lesser if more parents were involved with their children and worked with the school; it does not always change the students mind, but it does at times. Some parents are never that involved throughout their child’s school years, and others think “when they get to high school, they are on their own.” However as parents, it is our moral duty and obligation to our children, to remain involved in their lives in school (and out) until he or she walks across the stage to receive his or her diploma; and supported beyond if attending college.

I listened to many students in 2002 (as I spent two weeks by one of my child’s side as a sixth grader) stating “my parents do not know anything about me at all; they don’t care” and it was truly heartbreaking. At first I did not believe many of them but talking with teachers and school councilors, I learned that “getting some parents to come in for a meeting is worse than pulling teeth; they refuse to come.” This type behavior from adults, the parents, only leads to lost children trying to find where they fit in and gaining attention any way they can; whether negative or positive. I encourage all parents to talk with your children every day, and more importantly, listen to them, and stay involved in their lives as much as possible; making time for them now could make a drastic positive impact on them in adulthood.

Letter to the Editor

We didn’t understand

To the Editor: Now that we’ve all had the record “set straight,” had the “position” stated and heard over and over that the Chamber wasn’t quite sure and hadn’t yet decided if they really wanted to run the county Travel & Tourism Department (however if they do decide they want it, they want us to rest assured that they would be terrific at it!) a few things are slowly coming into focus.” The chamber staff has been burning up local phone lines in efforts to convince residents that this take-over would be the best thing for the county and anyone who would oppose this just doesn’t understand. When Mr. Mallard explained in a TDB article last year that the chamber needed to find an additional source of funds to underwrite and lessen the chamber’s exposure to catastrophic loss in the event of a barbecue rain-out, none of us thought he was refer-

ring to county occupancy tax dollars. We didn’t understand. When the chamber says, “developing business and economic opportunities that enhance the quality of life in our community,” community isn’t synonymous with neighborhood like Webster thought, it’s actually much larger and covers more than one county and state. He didn’t understand. It’s really a good thing to promote two large inn/hotels in another county who by being chamber members are then enabled to siphon off many thousands in commerce and tax dollars from Polk County each year. We didn’t understand. After all, we needed to be told, “This is business, commerce, the American Way, you get the picture.” Oh, and remember, if you think that this is all about the money, you don’t understand.

He said these consultants would work with the gallery on board development and strategic planning. Two other fundraising professionals are also lending their support free of charge. Ely said the board of directors plans to increase its number of members from nine to 12 or 14 and is considering a $25,000 challenge grant. “We are working the upcoming Silent Art Auction and Art Trek Tryon as offerings to the community, as public relations venues and as fundraisers,” Ely said.

Polk baseball wins big over rival Landrum, 17-5 by Joey Millwood

There was once a time when Landrum was a puzzle for the Polk County baseball team. In the mid-2000s, Landrum seemed to have a lock on the rivalry. Those days are gone. On Monday night, the Wolverines brought out the big sticks and beat Landrum 17-5 in five innings to win their third straight game in the series. The Wolverines jumped out to an early lead with a seven-run first inning. The exclamation point in the inning was a bases-clearing double by starting pitcher Alec Philpott, scoring three runs. Polk added seven more runs in the second inning. This time it was Philpott’s big brother, Tyler, hitting a bomb over the left field fence to drive in three runs. In the third inning, Polk added its final three runs when Ryan Thomas hit a pinch-hit three-run homer. After the game, head coach Ty Stott joked that he wished they’d save that kind of offensive night for conference rival Owen.

“You can’t decide when that kind of night happens,” he said. He has been particularly proud of his pitching staff this early in the season. With Lucas Cash’s arm hurting and Jacob Painter out for the season, he’s down to three pitchers – Alec Philpott, Roberto Taft and Dakota Turner. “They’ve stepped up and pitched their hearts out,” Stott said. Philpott pitched three innings, allowing two runs and striking out four. Landrum scored two runs in the second inning and three in the fourth inning. Joseph Corn had a double and a triple with one RBI. The big lead allowed Philpott to find his Alec Philpott pitches against Landrum on Monday zone early. “It was just a comforting lead,” the sopho- night.

Artwork wanted for hallways at St. Luke’s Hospital In case you have not had the chance to see, St. Luke’s Hospital is fortunate to house some of the most beautiful, original artwork in Polk County. Coordinated by the Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS), the revolving exhibit changes approximately every three months. What once was a small exhibit has more than tripled to 95 pieces representing 35 local artists. The art exhibit has expanded from only covering the St. Luke’s back hall to now include the inpatient hallway leading to the nurse’s station, as well as the Hy-

perbaric and Wound Care Center lobby. This requires many additional works of art so TPS has extended an invitation to exhibit to other artists in the community. Anyone interested in displaying an oil painting, a watercolor or a sculpture that can hang on a wall, call Jean Wright with TPS at 828-859-8359. To be included in the exhibit, TPS will need the artwork information (title, artist) before Monday, April 4, and the artwork will need to be delivered to the classroom at St. Luke’s Hospital on Monday, April 4 and Tues-

day, April 5. This artwork will hang from mid-April through mid-July. TPS has formalized the “rules” for this exhibit: • Open to members and nonmembers of Tryon Painters and Sculptors. • Because the exhibit is in a public space, nudes are not appropriate. • Participants must sign a St Luke’s Hospital liability waiver (in the volunteer workroom). • Contact information for the artist is provided (if desired) with the tag for each piece.

St. Luke’s Hospital honors National Social Work Month March is National Social Work Month, a time to celebrate the more than 600,000 social workers nationwide. St. Luke’s Hospital, along with the National Association of Social Workers, proudly celebrates National Social Work Month 2011. This year’s theme, “Social Workers Change Futures,” highlights the many ways social workers help in all communities. Social workers are purpose-driven, compassionate individuals who work across a range of areas to help those who are most vulnerable. Social workers provide assistance in hospitals, help children in schools, provide treatment at mental health clinics and play many different roles in society. Social workers are skilled professionals who use their talents to help others create better lives for themselves and their

As the department director, Crystal Honeycutt said they have several goals including to obtain patient discharge plans as soon as possible, to keep the patient and family updated about their discharge plan, maintain patients in the correct level of care, control costs without compromising patient care, be supportive to hospital staff and physicians and provide social support as needed. Strengthening people and providing support are priorities of the social work profession. Wherever there is a problem with an individual or family, social workers look for the inherent strengths that can be used as a starting point for further growth. “Social workers are a critical asset to St. Luke’s Hospital,” says Cefalu. “Social workers work with people facing difficult situations and help them overcome barriers.” – article submitted

Tryon Arts and Crafts offers intermediate silversmithing workshop Tryon Arts and Crafts School welcomes back instructor Dan Haga to teach Intermediate Silversmithing. The weekend workshop will be offered on Saturday, April 9 and Sunday, April 10 at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road. Students taking this workshop will have an opportunity to continue their education of silversmithing while exploring new techniques in the medium from a renowned silversmith and artist. Originally from Texas, Haga has become well known and respected throughout the country and especially in the southeast for the quality of his craft and his ability to teach. His vast knowledge of the medium has led him to successfully instruct numerous workshops at

a variety of schools including the William Holland Lapidary School in Young Harris, Ga., the Wild Acres retreat in Spruce Pine, N.C. and many others throughout the region. Haga sold his insurance business in 1995 to take on the jewelry trade full time and full force. While he has learned the art of jewelry making over the last 19 years, his real education has come from the making of more than 8,000 pieces. His work is sold in galleries and stores throughout North Carolina and the southeast. He is very active in the N.C. metalsmithing community and in the past served as president of the Blueridge Hearthside Crafts Association. During this workshop, students will complete multiple projects while developing skills

beyond the basics of silversmithing. Students will be refreshed on tools involved in the craft and use of the torch as they learn and increase their knowledge of new techniques. This workshop is designed for continuing education of students with prior experience. Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information about the instructor or workshop including tuition and supply costs, contact Tryon Arts & Crafts School at 828-8598323 or by email tryonartsandcrafts@windstream.net. More details and examples of projects are available on the Tryon Arts and Crafts School website, www.TryonArtsandCrafts.org. There are a limited number of spaces available for this class.

Some ballads told of infidelity While ballads of personal tragedy were among the best loved and sung throughout the mountains and hills of Dark Corner, next in popularity would be tales of unrequited love or infidelity. From Barbara Allen’s chiding of Sweet William for slighting her in his toast to the tavern ladies, to more serious “she done him” or “he done her wrong” stories, human frailties in personal relationships was sure to catch the ear of ballad listeners. My first hearing of “May I Sleep in Your Barn Tonight, Mister?” was a bit confusing to my young, 6-year-old mind. I had not yet heard of someone leaving a family behind for any reason. And, I certainly had no inkling of the meaning of infidelity. Regardless, the title and tune
