Polk sheriff office salaries need to be competitive
Sheriff Donald Hill recently requested that the Polk County Board of Commissioners take into consideration raising the salaries of employees in the sheriff’s office. In difficult economic times, we know this can be a trying move for any county to make. Every department of course would want to see its employees earn more, especially when they feel the sting of employees leaving for higher-paying jobs. In this one case, however, we feel it’s essential for the commission to truly work to improve the salaries of our police force. Can you envision going to work knowing there’s a chance you could be spit or urinated on? Imagine the detriment to morale this causes to people who already feels as if their pay doesn’t compensate properly for the work they do. Loosing those talented and dedicated law enforcement members to jobs that pay more across county or even state lines diminishes the quality of service a department is able to provide. It diminishes the level of safety residents feel in their own community. The sheriff and his staff should not be constantly wondering if hiring someone new will end in their providing quality training only to lose that employee down the road. Keeping crime rates low across the county is vital to our area remaining a place where people want to raise families, retire and visit on vacation. That’s a need the county needs to be willing to fund fully. — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

level of accreditation that can be awarded to an organization. “Our organization takes pride in achieving this accreditation again as it is one more indication of our dedication and commitment to constantly improving the quality of our programs,” said Anne Vance, CEO for Pavillon. For 15 years, Pavillon has offered 12-step residential treatment, research-based recovery services and education for addiction and its related disorders. It is a non-profit organization treating patients from around the nation. .

Nicholson part of Cobra Gold 2011 by Dona Fair
For the son of a Tryon couple, providing humanitarian aid, civic assistance and military training to a country known for deadly cobra snakes, Buddhist temples and shrimp pad Thai was quite an experience recently. Navy Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class Edgar S. Nicholson, son of Eddie and Sandra Nicholson of Tryon, was one of more than 7,200 U.S. service members involved in Cobra Gold 2011, the largest multi-lateral military training exercise in the Pacific region. Sponsored by the Royal Thai Supreme Command and the United States, Cobra Gold is conducted annually throughout the Kingdom of Thailand. This year’s participants were Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, United States and the Republic of Korea. “I control the craft landing zone,” said Nicholson, a 2002 graduate of Polk County High School. “We assist with off loading and on loading all vehicles and personnel from the landing craft air cushion.” Cobra Gold 2011 marks the 30th anniversary of the Cobra Gold Exercise and has developed into an important symbol of the U.S. military’s commitment to maintaining peace and security in Asia. The exercise provides realistic training, improves efficiency

through military coordination and tests military operations. Service members work on their tactical skills and test their ability to operate in a joint, multinational environment. These range from amphibious assaults to engineering and medical humanitarian and civic assistance projects geared toward improving the quality of life of the Thai people. This type of training gives Nicholson a chance to improve his individual skills and experience the culture of other countries. “The exercise is always great to help continue our relations with Thailand,” said Nicholson, a ramp marshal assigned to Sasebo, Japan. “This is my second year in (Continued on page 15)

a row with this exercise.” With its lush jungles, exotic beaches and its precarious animal wildlife, Thailand is quite a contrast to the hustle and bustle of the United States. Instead of the huge shopping malls that Nicholson and the others are accustomed to, street markets abound with sellers who pack their wares - a variety of tropical fruits, flowers, food, clothing and jewelry, into small kiosks, bargaining with customers to get the best price

for their items. “The people here are very friendly and I have enjoyed the training and relationships we have in Thailand,” said Nicholson, who has been in the military for five years. In an age where it is just as important for countries to support peace operations, Nicholson and his multi-national military partners understand firsthand what it takes to bring many countries together to be able to respond to disasters such as recent tsunamis and cyclones, and provide humanitarian assistance around the world.

Leather sheath workshop at Tryon Arts and Crafts April 9, 10 Tryon Arts and Crafts School will host a basic leather sheath construction weekend workshop with instructor Rick Lowe. The workshop will be held on Saturday, April 9 and Sunday, April 10 at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road. This is an opportunity for students to learn traditional methods for creating sheaths, as well as modern techniques for embellishments and decorations. Leather craftsman Rick Lowe will teach students to design, cut out and assemble leather sheaths created especially for their personal knives. The course will cover dyes, glue, sewing and finish work. Leather needs, essential tools and their sources will be discussed. The workshop will be held on Saturday, April 9 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday, April 10 from 1 – 5 p.m.
Lowe, currently a resident of Candler, N.C., has been making knives and sheaths for the past 20 years and is a new addition to the faculty at Tryon Arts and Crafts School. Knives have been a part of Lowe’s life since a very early age. He has carried one in a pocket or on his belt every day and over the years has developed an interest in custom handmade knives produced by the true craftsmen of the knife world. Along with the knives came the interest in making sheaths to protect both the knife and its owner. His first efforts were raw, but his continued work in both areas has given his work a high degree of form and function. Lowe has had the opportunity to meet and work with some of the best leather artists and bladesmiths in the country and through their guidance,
patience and advice, his knives and sheaths are true works of art. Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information about the instructor or workshop, contact Tryon Arts & Crafts School at 828859-8323 or by email at 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.

Greene, Hopps exhibit at Tryon Painters and Sculptors Tryon Painters and Sculptors will feature two artists in the month of April. In Gallery One, Jim Greene will exhibit his eclectic sculptures, which consist of wood, metal, feathers and other materials he finds to enhance his creations. He will also exhibit paintings and wall hangings, which range from realistic to abstract. The Mahler Gallery will feature the watercolor, oil and mixed media paintings of Susan Hopps. Hopps has inspired small students as a second grade teacher for years. She cites Mathew Fox’s words as encouraging her to create: “The most prayerful, most spiritually powerful act a person can undertake is to create at his or her own level, with a consciousness of the place from which that gift arises.” This show is from April 3 - May 7 with a reception for the public on April 3 from 5 - 7 p.m. at the
Tryon Fine Arts Center, located at 34 Melrose Avenue in Tryon. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call 828-859-8322 or visit the TPS website at www.tryonpaintersandsculptors.com. – article submitted

Lady Wolverines softball punishes Avery 13-3 by Daniel Hecht
To say that it has been a good week for Polk County’s softball program would certainly be an understatement. On Tuesday March 22, staff ace Jamie Hrobak pitched a perfect game as Polk notched a decisive conference victory over Mitchell. And on Thursday, the Lady Wolverines notched a major win over visiting Swain County, upsetting the number one ranked 1A team in the state by a score of 4-2. So, with two big wins in the books, it was easy to understand the challenge facing head coach Jeff Wilson entering Polk’s matchup with visiting conference foe Avery Friday – namely, how to keep his
young squad motivated and focused on the task at hand. “I told the girls that we had to battle through the blahs, coming off of the ‘pump’ of playing number one with a big crowd on hand,” said Wilson. Reasoning that a letdown following a big win was understandable, yet not inevitable, Wilson counseled his team to strike quickly and often. “I told the girls that our goal is to score early,” said Wilson, adding, “I really challenged them to work hard in the first inning.” Evidently, Wilson’s ladies listened well, as Polk’s offense exploded for nine runs in the bottom of the first on their way to a 13-3
bruising of the visitors from Newland in six innings. Offensively, the Lady Wolverines were led by two-time All State player Alyssa Montgomery, who went 2 for 2 on the afternoon with a single, a double and two walks, notching two RBIs while reaching base on all four trips to the plate. Leadoff hitter Shayln Brown added an RBI as well, going 2 for 4 with a walk, while Cassie Couch turned in a 2 for 3 performance with a walk. Casey McDowell played a strong game defensively at second base while turning in a 1 for 3 offensive outing with a walk and an RBI. Polk ace Jamie Hrobak pitched two innings of one hit ball, striking
out four and earning her 37th career victory before turning the ball over to reliever Yancey Pace, who held the Lady Vikings to just three hits on the rest of the afternoon. Hrobak is now just one win shy of tying the school record for victories held by Tiffany McCord. “I’m really proud of the way we played today,” Wilson said following the game. “We kept our focus and won a game we needed to win.” The Lady Wolverines, now 8-1 on the season and 3-0 in the conference, play a home and away series against Thomas Jefferson this week before traveling to Black Mountain Friday afternoon to square off against the Warlassies of Owen High School.

Letter to the Editor
The Tiny Kingdom goes paperless To the Editor: I’m pleased to report my friend that spring has sprung here in the Tiny Kingdom and soon the area will be alive with the color of the magnificent azalea and dogwood on a background of spring green. Our local government continues to amuse some and bring tears to the eyes of others. Recently our local paper, the Tryon Daily Bulletin, which is just like the New York Times only different, had a half page picture showing new Dell laptop computers in use by the elected
wise elders at their monthly meeting. All future meeting agendas will be on the laptop’s screen instead of on paper! Wow, there’s a giant leap forward into the 21st century at a cost of $340 per laptop times five elected wise elders, let’s see, that comes to a total of $1,700. The town said this saved the cost of printing 450 copies of the multi page agenda for the meeting packets. Get your crying towel out because we’re going to run the numbers on this bad boy. There are 500 pieces of paper in a ream and a ream costs about $10. The wise elected elders meet about 14 times a year, so that’s $140 per year for paper, add $30 for wear and tare on
the copier and we’re up to a cost of $170 per year to produce agenda packets. The 10 year cost comes to $1,700. So amortization it will be the year 2021. Also, this laptop technology will be considered current for maybe the next 10 months, not 10 years! I trust a few paper agendas will be available for the lowly taxpayer who takes an interest in the management decisions made at these meetings. One other small point. Let’s hope that meeting agendas are the only thing these laptops are used for otherwise the elected wise elders may be in violation of the open meeting laws. (Transparent government is the current buzzword.) Yes my friend I believe you

are right when you say those who can do, and those who can’t teach. I could only add, and all others wind up in government management. Another recent example of too much government is the town’s interest in tackling the Kudzu problem yet again. Even the elected wise elders admit that most of the Kudzu is located on private land. In the old America government kept its hands off a person’s property. But then they are talking about burning it and everyone knows what happens when you get a wiff or two of Kudzu smoke! On second thought I think we should have a law in the Tiny Kingdom that says you must burn your Kudzu. – John Calure

Do you have pesticides at your home or farm that you no longer need or use? If your answer is “yes,” then you’ll be interested in the Rutherford County Pesticide Collection Day on Tuesday, April 19. The N.C. Department of Agriculture’s Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program, in cooperation with the Rutherford County Extension Center, will offer this Pesticide Collection Day for residents in Rutherford, Polk, Cleveland and other surrounding North Carolina counties. The Pesticide Collection Day will be held from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the Rutherford County Extension Center, located at 193 CallahanKoon Road in Spindale. Nearly all pesticide products will be accepted at this disposal event, including out-dated and undesired pesticides. For pesticides with unreadable or missing labels, contact the extension center for instructions. Save any portion of the label to help iden-
tify the materials so you can be assisted with disposal. Unknown materials will not be accepted. For pesticide containers greater than 5 gallons in size, contact the Rutherford County Extension Center before the Pesticide Disposal Day for special instructions and information. Each year the Pesticide Disposal Assistance Program (ww.ncagr.com/PDAP) visits between 40 - 50 counties to collect unwanted and unused pesticides. There is no cost to the participant for disposing of the pesticides. For additional information on transporting the pesticides safely to the disposal event, contact Jan McGuinn at the Rutherford Extension Center at 828-287-6011.

History of North Carolina wines told in Saluda March 31 “A History of North Carolina Wines: From Scuppernog to Syrah” will be discussed and parts read by author Alexia Jones Helsley on Thursday, March 31 at 7 p.m. at The Wine Cellar at the Saluda Inn. North Carolina historian Alexia Jones Helsley, with roots in the region (her parents are Hendersonville residents and her father is a native of Saluda) has authored “A History of North Carolina Wines: From Scuppernong to Syrah,” a comprehensive examination of North Carolina’s love affair with grapes and vines.
Optimism was early, she points out, as indicated by a quote from a Wilmington newspaper in 1881: “We do not see why good wines should not be made in this state.” North Carolina’s native grapes, says the author, grew with a wild abandon that impressed early explorers. Wine production, on the other hand, followed a long and twisting trail. She writes of the disappointments and successes vintners encountered, and describes the complex varieties of North Carolina wine. She shows how the highly acclaimed vineyards of today have deep
roots in the state’s past. Helsley is a founding member and vice president of the Henderson County Genealogical and Historical Society. Her previous books include “A Guide to Historic Henderson County, North Carolina,” and “The Henderson County (N.C.) Revolutionary Pensioners of 1840,” which was awarded the Willie Parker Peace Prize in 1997. The Wine Cellar at the Saluda Inn is located at 229 Greenville Street, just off Main Street in Saluda.

Subtle joy of green cruising Sailing aboard the largest fully rigged sailing ship in the world is a cruise I would describe in one word…subtle. I have been many places in my life and time, and I am usually disappointed by fanfare. You won’t get that on a cruise aboard the Royal Clipper, and that’s what makes it perfect for artistic types, from 35 to 91 years old. My seven-day journey from Barbados to the Grenadines was the tropical highlight of a lifetime, accentuated by the unfurling of 42 sails in the wind as Where’ve you found You Been? yourself swiftly and by Lucianne noiselessly Evans being carried port to port like a character in a “Captain and Commander” novel. The same ship sails the Mediterranean and the pacific coast of Costa Rica. Loved: Listening to the groan of the sails instead of engines, the fabulous menu, the soft adventure, and the mix of British, Canadian, American and German passengers. Note: For the very things I loved, it took a day or two to lay back and realize that I wasn’t on the “megaship of the seas.” Be willing to leave anyone under age 20 at home. My daughter

had a good experience, but she was the only teenager. Favorite port of call: Grenada, considered the most beautiful harbor in the Caribbean. We hiked to the Seven Sisters Waterfall, a rite of passage. Martinique, which is like a mini-Paris, with great deals on French designer chic. St. Lucia, and the iconic mountains of Les Deux Pitons, from the sea. St Vincent’s is waterfall heaven, and little known Bequia is laid back, but famous for it’s miniature boat building. It was a goal of mine to end up at Thomas’ Boat Builders, where the most exquisite miniatures of sailing ships are hand-crafted before your eyes, as they have been for royalty since the 18th century. With

prices ranging from about $25$4,500, I settled on a coconut boat, and cannot be more proud of my souvenir. Another goal was obtaining a freshly-grilled Caribbean lobster. I bartered with a local fisherman, and got a good price. It was snapping itself silly, when he asked, “do you want me to cook this now, or do you want to take it home as a pet?” Star Clippers hired a threestar rated Michelin chef, which is a great merit in the world of cuisine. All the dishes and flavors are organically derived, with no “sour cream and onion” added! I don’t have a sweet tooth, but I enjoyed the most remarkable chocolate cake, which was almost savory, with no icing, and had just the right balance of sweet and chocolate. It is something to be said for the Caribbean, that everyone should take a green cruise
like this one, or ANY type cruise, and see the reefs for themselves. The coral reefs of Tobago Cays Nature Reserve, another port of call, were the healthiest I saw during the trip, but it’s no mystery that many reefs are turning “gray.” There was an active marine biologist aboard, and she explained the reason is not so much pollution, as it is sediment. It’s a cause and effect of storms that wash mud onto the coral, clogging a sensitive photosynthetic system can’t survive it. But you can watch dolphins swim alongside this ship, and you can climb the mast if you want to! That beats that rock wall on the megaships by a mile. And finally, the captain was very popular in a subtle sort of way. Subtle, there’s that word again.

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to get on the train in Tryon and ride to Charlotte, Raleigh or even all the way to New Bern via the North Carolina Railroad? But if the Commissioners
“let” it be known that they’d rather have the rail line made into a pedestrian/equestrian (pedquestrian) trail, then they may take the passenger service to Asheville from Charlotte through Hickory and Polk County might just be bypassd all together! With the price of gasoline going up, maybe this isn’t such a far fetched idea.

Classic Car Show at Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival pressed appreciation for McCurry-Deck Motors’ underwriting of the event. “Our sponsors make it possible for us to put the festival on – their commitment to community is inspiring to all of us as we work to make it all come together,” he said. Paul Deck of McCurryDeck said this will be his first year at the festival, but that he has long known that it is a key economic factor in the TryonColumbus area. “The festival draws a lot of people here for a really enjoyable event, and that just makes more people aware of what the area has to offer,” said Deck. Deck said he has loved cars all his life and has a real interest in vintage cars. A 1969 Pontiac Firebird is currently on display at his GM store, and he plans to host his own classic car show
there in late April. Anyone interested in displaying a car at the Barbecue Festival should contact the BBQ office at 828-859-7427. The 18th Annual Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival will be held at Harmon Field in Tryon on June 10 and 11. The event includes a cooking competition – sanctioned by the Kansas City Barbecue Society – music (on two stages), a juried craft fair with more than 50 artists and crafters displaying, demonstrating and selling their art, carnival rides and games for kids, sponsor displays and, of course, some of the best food to be had anywhere. Saturday’s special events include the classic car show, the third annual Rubber Ducky River Race and “Hawg” Runs (motorcycle poker runs) originating in Greenville and Ashe-
ville and ending at the festival. Look for upcoming announcements about other attractions that are being added to the 2011 event. The festival is conducted annually under the auspices of the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce. Proceeds from the festival help support chamber operations and additional proceeds go to the Carolina Foothills Chamber Foundation to be returned to the community through distributions to a variety of charitable and civic programs and projects throughout the county. Funds are generated by a modest admission fee, contestant entry fees and sponsorships. For further information, call the festival office at 828859-RIBS (7427) or visit BlueRidgeBBQFestival.com. – article submitted

Beautifully and meticulously restored cars will be on display by their proud owners, all of whom will be hoping for prizes and trophies. The new attraction is sponsored by McCurry-Deck Motors of Forest City. The Carolina Classic Car Club of Spartanburg will host the event. Chuck Britton, chairman of the festival, said this is just one of the things that’s going to make this the best year ever. “One of the things that keeps people coming back to the festival year after year is that we try to have new experiences in store for them,” he said, “And people just seem to love the old cars.” Dennis Nagle, who chairs the car show committee, ex-

Foothills Music Club March organ concert a success by Elizabeth Gardner
The March meeting of the Foothills Music Club (FMC) took place at the Tryon Presbyterian Church on Thursday, March 10. The concert, featuring performances by local organists, was preceded by a business meeting, at which president Fran Creasy presided. Highlights of the meeting were the announcement of the 2011 FMC scholarship winners and election of FMC officers to fill two vacancies. The scholarship winners have been announced separately by Elaine Jenkins, FMC scholarship chair. Jeanette Shackelford will succeed Fran Creasy, who has served as FMC president for four years. Carole Bartol was elected vice-president. The other officers are Krysti Hamlin, secretary, and Nancy Walburn, treasurer, who are continuing to serve. Following the meeting, the annual public FMC organ concert began at 3 p.m. in the sanctuary

of the church. Creasy opened the program by announcing that more than $34,000 has been given to deserving high school musicians in the community since the founding of the FMC by Lesley Oakes in
1988. She then introduced Eleanor Roemer, the organizer of the organ concert, who was the first organist to perform. Roemer recalled that the organ as we know it today had its origins around 1,000 BC, and that the bellows then were driven by water pressure, hence the name of this instrument was the hydro. She then performed two organ Fantasias, the first by Johann Pachelbel and the second by J.S. Bach. More Baroque organ music was presented by Bartol after she shared a couple of J.S. Bach tidbits: Bach was an extremely large man whose hand could reach four white keys beyond the reach of an average person’s hand; therefore, he could do all kinds of fingering between his thumb and little finger, which most organists find diabolical. It is also said that the clergy of the churches where Bach was organist were disconcerted that Bach would never play the hymns correctly; instead, he played all kinds of embellishments, which caused the following conversation: “Don’t you understand? He’s a genius!” answered by “We do not need a genius; all we need is an organist who will play from the book!” Bartol performed two chorales by Bach – “Wer den lieben Gott” and “Komm, suesser Tod,” followed by a movement from the
Second Suite by Louis-Nicolas Clerambault. Susan Mahnke then performed the “Liturgical Suite for Organ” by Denis Bedard, followed by John Gardner’s playing of the sparkling “Gloria” by Marcel Dupre, one of the giants of 20th century French organ music. He was then joined by Elizabeth Gardner, soprano, who performed Aaron Copland’s musical setting of Emily Dickinson’s poem “I’ve heard an organ talk sometimes… and understood no word it said…” Lesley Bush demonstrated the miracle wrought in organ-land through modern technology. He used a “midi” device that enabled the organ to play automatically while he led the congregation in singing the hymn “O Sons and Daughters of the King.” He then seated himself at the console and performed Healey Willan’s organ arrangement of this hymn. The Sine Nomine Singers, under the direction of Rita Stobbe with Roemer at the organ, concluded the program with “Look at the World” by John Rutter, contemporary English composer of many choral pieces, who may be more popular in the States than in England. This piece about the beauty of creation and the source of all our blessings brought the concert to a fitting close.
