Silent/Live auctions support Upstairs Artspace In 2006 the Upstairs Artspace decided to raise money with a different silent art auction--one where art owners, not artists, would donate the art. So board members foraged their homes for art, hung it in the front window and turned a modest profit. Encouraged, the Upstairs held three more Silent Art Auctions. Each time more art was donated. By 2009, the auction offered about 100 works and made good money. Last month the Upstairs went public with its financial difficulties, so people have stepped up and donated approximately 240 pieces of art for the fifth Silent Art Auction. The goal is to raise at least $10,000. The auction is open daily this week for people to come in on a regular basis and place their bids. Hours are 11 a.m.-4 p.m.; on Friday the gallery will remain open until 7 p.m. On the last day, this Saturday, April 9, the bidding for Silent Art Auction pieces (Continued on page 3)

County saves Fab 4th fireworks by Leah Justice

With just 11 days left to sign a contract to have fireworks at the Columbus Fourth of July festival, Polk County commissioners decided Monday to fund the remaining balance. Commissioners agreed to fund up to $9,000, including the $1,000 already raised by the Fourth of July committee. Other donations pledged Monday reduced the amount the county will likely have to pay to approximately $7,000. Commissioners each pledged to personally contribute $100 for the

fireworks. Larger donations also came Monday from the Polk County Economic Development Commission (EDC), whose chair, Ambrose Mills, said his board will put up $500, and from Millard & Company. Andy Millard of Millard & Company said his company would match the EDC’s $500 contribution. Columbus councilwoman and Fourth of July committee chair Ernie Kan said she is on “cloud nine” after

closes promptly at 4 p.m. This is followed by a casual wine and appetizer party. At 5 p.m., the live auction begins with about 30 pieces of choice art and craft going to the highest bidders. Professional auctioneer Bill Jones will conduct the auction, which is expected to last about an hour. “Both auctions present the chance to pick up terrific art at extremely low prices,” said Gail Muir, co-chair of the event. More than 140 items have minimum bids under $50. Co-chair Harry Sparshott emphasizes the wide variety of art styles and schools. “We’ve got work by the famous early illustrator Maxfield Parrish and by established Brooklyn, N.Y., abstract painter James Biederman,” Sparshott said.

commissioners agreed to help with the costs of the festival. Kan said yesterday she is relieved and very appreciative to commissioners and all who have donated so far. Commissioner Ted Owens said Monday that part of his reasoning for wanting to help the festival is the Fourth of July event started many years ago as a county festival that was held in the county seat. Owens said he appreciates the efforts of Kan and the committee for bringing the festival back to a hometown feel. This year’s Fabulous Fourth will be the 49th annual event. “I’ve been involved with the festival since the 1970s,” Owens said. “They call it the Columbus Fourth, but it’s really the county’s Fourth.” Commissioner chair Ray Gasperson said the festival is a trigger that will bring on other events in the county. “For that reason it seems like a wise use of money,” Gasperson said. “If you’ve ever been (to the festival), you’ll realize this is indeed a Polk County event.” The Bulletin recently polled readers on its website (www. tryondailybulletin.com) about whether people would go to the Fourth of July festival if there were no fireworks. As of noon Tuesday, there were 52 (61 percent) “no” responses, 24 (28 percent) “yes” responses and 9 (11 percent) “maybe” responses. The question so far has drawn one of the highest response rates of any poll question on the website. Kan mentioned that the festival is being downsized this year, with the committee hoping to spend about $15,000 on the festival instead of the $31,482 spent last year by the town. “So far we have spoken to 100 businesses face to face and only collected $1,000,” Kan said. The committee has also mailed out other requests to businesses for donations. Kan said some expenses have been paid for through donations. For example,

Wednesday, April 06, 2011

AllBright Sanitation has agreed to provide the port-a-jons and a truck for trash, McKinsey Printing did printing at no cost for the festival and Grace Foothills Church in Tryon has volunteered to do the clean-up following the festival. The committee has decided not to have golf carts or tents, not to pay for street sweeping and to spend much less on music this year. Kan told commissioners the $15,000 the committee needs to raise includes the almost $10,000 for fireworks, $2,000 for entertainment, $1,500 for the police department as well as other expenses such as electricity. Columbus Town Council decided last year not to budget any money for the Fourth of July festival to avoid a tax increase. The fireworks company gave the town until the end of January of this year to sign the fireworks contract, with half the costs due then. With little money raised by January, the fireworks company extended the deadline for payment until April 15 to secure the fireworks for the event. Many at Monday’s meeting expressed their appreciation to Kan for her hard work and volunteerism on the project. Commissioner Cindy Walker thanked Kan and called her a “force of nature” when it comes to volunteering and fundraising. The county’s funding for the fireworks will come out of its travel and tourism budget, which has approximately $9,000 remaining. Kan urges local vendors to sign up for the festival soon. A small booth can be rented for $25, with food booths available for $200. For more information regarding booth rentals and the festival, go to www.columbusnc. com and click on “events” from the top menu. With the fireworks taken care of, the committee still needs to raise about $5,000 for other festival expenses. Donations can be sent to Columbus Town Hall, P.O. Box 146, Columbus, N.C. 28722. Be sure to mark the donation for “Fourth of July.

Could This Treatment Really Stop Neuropathy Once and For All? FIND OUT IF THIS COULD BE YOUR SOLUTION. ONLY $25 FOR ANYONE WHO IS SUFFERING WITH THESE CONDITIONS. Do You Have Any of the Following Symptoms? • Numbness in the feet • Tingling in the legs • Peripheral neuropathy • Weakness in the arms or legs • Burning sensations in the hands or feet The pain...the cold feet...the loss of sensation... lack of sleep...it's enough to drastically affect your life. And you worry it's only going to get worse throughout life. My name is Dr. Sarah Merrison-McEntire, owner of Carolina Chiropractic Plus. We've been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than 13 years. Often neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the way down to the tail bone. The good news is that chiropractic treatments have proven effective in helping to remove the pressure on the nerves. By using gentle techniques, I'm able to release the pressure that has built up on the nerve. In many cases this has allowed the nerve to heal and the symptoms to go away.

Patients Showed 85% Resolution of Symptoms For example, numerous studies have proven chiropractic's effectiveness in helping nerve conditions. Patients showed an 85.5% resolution of the nerve symptoms after only 9 chiropractic treatments. - Journal of Chiropractic Medicine 2008

With chiropractic care, patients had “significant improvement in perceived comfort and function, nerve conduction and finger sensation overall.” – JMPT 1998 “Significant increase in grip strength and normalization of motor and sensory latencies were noted. Orthopedic tests were negative. Symptoms dissipated.” – JMPT 1994 What these studies mean is that you could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating nerve problems.

Could This Be Your Solution? It’s time for you to find out if chiropractic will be your neuropathy solution. For 10 days only, $25 will get you all the services I normally charge new patients $250 for! What does this offer include? Everything. Take a look at what you will receive: • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case. • A complete neuromuscular examination.

We can get you scheduled for your consultation, exam and x-rays as soon as there’s an opening.

• A full set of specialized x-rays to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms… (NOTE: These cost $125).

Our office is located at 152 W. Main St. (two doors down from Ray Rice Martial Arts).

• I'll answer your most probing questions about nerve problems and how chiropractic can help.

Sincerely, Sarah Merrison-McEntire, D.C.

When you call, tell the receptionist you’d like • A thorough analysis of your exam and x- to come in for the Nerve Evaluation so she ray findings so we can start mapping out your can get you on the schedule and make sure you receive proper credit for this special plan to being pain free. offer.

Until April 15, 2011 you can get everything I’ve listed here for only $25. The normal price for this type of evaluation including xrays is $250, so you’re saving a considerable amount by taking me up on this offer. Call 828-245-0202 now.

P.S. Remember, you only have until April 15th to reserve an appointment at this significant discount. Why suffer for years in misery?

If you decide to purchase additional treatment you have the legal right to change your mind within 3 days and receive a refund. Federal recipients are excluded from this offer.

Overnight storm brings down trees, causes power outages by Bulletin staff

After a volatile storm swept up to the Carolinas from Louisiana and Mississippi there have been numerous reports across Polk County and Upstate South Carolina of power outages and trees blocking roadways. Duke Energy reported more than 250,000 customers across its service area without power overnight and into Tuesday morning. Wind gusts of 60-70-miles per hour and driving rain uprooted large trees, downed power poles and power lines. Locally, most damage from the storm appears to have been concentrated in the Tryon area. Tuesday morning around 9 a.m. the Tryon Fire Department answered one call to Lyle Street and Melrose Lane, which were closed because a tree had fallen on a vehicle, pulling down power lines and blocking the road. Other Tryon area roads

blocked during the morning included Glenwalden Circle, Gunning Road, Chestnut Street and Capps Road, all from broken power lines caused by fallen trees and limbs. Saluda officials reported no calls received about power outages or wind damage, and Polk County EMS officials said they had received a few calls about downed trees and power line problems. Columbus fire chief Bobby Arledge said his department received several calls about fallen trees and power outages, including a tree that took power out in the Holly Hill neighborhood and power outages in Tryon Estates. In South Carolina, power outages and fallen trees were reported in the Lake Lanier and Landrum areas, and some residents said the storm included large hail. A downed tree was also reportedly blocking the road in

Funding Columbus fireworks should not be a yearly thing

County commissioners obviously felt a patriotic twinge Monday night when choosing to assist the town of Columbus in funding its Fabulous Fourth fireworks show. With 11 days left until the deadline for booking fireworks, organizers had just $1,000 on hand. Now, organizers have more than enough to fund this year’s display of color and light. The wonder and awe of fireworks could cost the county as much as $7,000 unless others chip in and offset firework costs. Each commissioner offered to do so – $100 a piece or $500 total. Andy Millard with Millard and Company offered another $500. Church groups meanwhile have offered their services for clean-up and other community businesses have offered in-kind donations in the way of porta-johns and printing. We’re excited to know the skies won’t remain dark over Columbus this 4th of July. This will obviously benefit a number of businesses throughout Columbus, and of course, give families a friendly way to celebrate our nation’s birth. Still, we have to ask whether it’s the county’s duty to bail out a festival. Businesses will benefit from the flood of families coming to Columbus for the event. These businesses need to step up to the plate this year and offset the thousands of dollars left to fund additional portions of the festival. Community members quickly rushed, via the Bulletin’s online poll, to let us know they wouldn’t make plans to attend the festival without the sparkle and pop. While it’s great to see a popular community event funded, it’s not so great if the event drains funds that could be put to good use elsewhere. Other festivals such as Coon Dog Day in Saluda make money from their events – perhaps not a killing, but they aren’t seeing red year after year. We by no means want to see this event bite the dust but the city didn’t include the fireworks show in its budget for a reason this year –– it siphoned too much money. Smarter, and earlier, planning is needed to save the event for future years.

Carolina Carriage Club offers clinic with Robin Groves Carriage driving will be Robin Groves’ main topic during her clinic at Sherwin Lindsey’s Latigo Farm in Campobello next Saturday and Sunday (April 9-10), but Groves is eminently qualified to instruct in just about every ridden discipline, including Western. With Thor’s Toy Truck, a Connemara Thoroughbred cross, Groves competed in the 2008 World Singles Championships in Poland and in 2010 in Italy, in addition to the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Kentucky,. She also won the International Single Horse Championship at the Live Oak CDE in March 2010. Before many years of riding and driving long distance competitions, Robin evented and hunted the Connemara cross that she raised as well as studying dressage with former Dutch Olympic team member H.L. van Schaik.

What brought about Groves’ interest in carriage driving? When her father bought a spring wagon and some ancient harness at a cocktail party she said she just had to teach her Connemara to drive and was hooked. In addition to clinics and competitions, she keeps busy with R & W Horsedrawn Services, which she and her husband, Wilson, operate in Brownsville, Vt. Wilson, also a trainer and teacher, usually stays home while Robin does the traveling. This year he has been enjoying the southern climate, competing at preliminary and intermediate Levels with the Morgan Stallion, Derawnda Ricardo. Auditors are welcome to attend the clinic (no charge). Contact Barbara Madill, 828-8942437 or madill@windstream.net for directions and details. – article submitted by Barbara Madill

The Woodlands. (photo submitted)

‘The Woodlands’ on Green Blades Garden Club’s Tour of Homes Upon entering this home designed by Thomas Hollis, it is evident that a log home and barn timbers from Ninety-Six, S.C., were incorporated into this home the owners call “casual elegance.” Across the center of the house Hollis stretched a spacious great room with a

dramatic fireplace and French doors that open to a spacious terrace. Natural light fills the house from every room, but with the use of the barn timbers and the log home incorporated into it, it remains warm and inviting. Because of artistic

talent in the immediate family there is a plethora of paintings throughout. The family wanted a nice flow for entertaining, as they love to have parties and quiet dinners. With large or small parties, people can go from the great room, with its built-

in wall for a bar and music center, through to the kitchen and keeping room and around to the dining room with a loft that houses their office, with great ease. The kitchen, with its barn red walls, is laced with cus(Continued on page 15)

tom cabinets made from barn planks that give this area an inviting feeling. The keeping room also has the barn red walls, surrounding four Windsor chairs and an antique dining table that shares its space with several wing back chairs and a fireplace. Barn timbers, both as beams and mantle, warm the kitchen with surrounding windows and door to the terrace. The house is so strong that the owner has kept the palette of color soothing and soft. The wood floors of random width heart pine dominate the main level of the home. Over scaled upholstered pieces fill the great room and Orientals and antique

pieces, acquired from the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; many years in Saudi and the Middle East, are spread throughout the house and add to the decidedly European atmosphere. The elegance of the rooms is tempered by the rusticity of the beams. The dining rooms, with barn plank walls, are not about being fancy but elements of the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; antiques make it dressy. The lower level is filled with treasures from their travels along with guest bedrooms and a family room designed around plush leather furniture. A French door leads to a pergola-covered terrace overlooking a pool designed by the owners. The landscaping was designed to create a number of gardens each with its own distinct personality.

The Tour of Homes, presented as a fundraiser by the Green Blades Garden Club, is a self-guided driving tour held on Saturday, April 30. Hours of the tour are 10 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 4 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at the Book Shelf, Vines & Stuff and Down to Earth Garden Center in Tryon, Accents on Main, PJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fashions and Expressions Florist in Landrum and the Garden Patch and Flower Cottage in Columbus.

Wolverines-Bearcats soccer match ends in tie by Joey Millwood

Polk County’s home matchup with Hendersonville on the soccer pitch Monday had it all. There was rain, strong winds, bats (the flying kind), physicality and drama. In other words, it was exactly what fans would’ve expected from two bitter rivals. For most of the first half, the Lady Bearcats held the possession – challenging the Polk defense. The Wolverines didn’t break. On the other side of the ball, while the Bearcats held the possession advantage, the Lady Wolverines had the most flash and better looks at the goal. Polk forward Brittany Phipps, who played a big part in the 2009 state title run, led the Wolverines with her breakaway ability. The senior had five different breakaways towards the Hendersonville goal, but none could line up right as the Bearcat defense recovered. The stalemate continued in the second half. The Lady Bearcats took a shot eight minutes

in that almost landed inches inside the Polk goal. The ball, however, met the hand of an outstretched Donny Every as the Polk goalie reached to block the shot. The physicality of Monday’s matchup was apparent. A Hendersonville player was down for nearly 20 minutes and was carried off in an ambulance. Over and over Hendersonville players found themselves on the grass as the Lady Wolverines dominated the game physically. This was the most physical game head coach Lennox “Rock” Charles has seen his team play this season. “We have to be,” he said. “Or they’d run us off the field.” With less than eight minutes to go in the second half, the Lady Wolverines lined up in front of the goal awaiting a throw-in by Lyric Flood. For Phipps, the desired goal was simple. (Continued on page 22)

Owen Warlassies deal Polk softball first conference loss 4-1 by Daniel Hecht

From a historical perspective, Coach Jeff Wilson’s Lady Wolverines had little reason to feel confident prior to hitting the road Friday, April 1 to take on the Warlassies of Owen High School. After all, only once in 16 previous visits had a Wilson-led squad managed to emerge victorious from the hinterland of Black Mountain, a place where softball is religion and excellence is expected. Then again, this is not your typical Polk County softball team. With a record of 9-1 on the year, including a win over top-ranked Swain County, the 2011 Lady Wolverines are a talented group, and Friday’s skirmish, with first place in the Western Highlands conference on the line,

promised to be a dandy of a contest. Alyssa Montgomery got things started quickly for Polk with two outs in the top of the first, driving a Taylor Fisher offering to right center. Jamie Hrobak followed with a line drive to left, and after Cassie Couch drove home Montgomery with a base hit to right field, Polk led 1-0 going into the bottom of the first. Undaunted, Owen answered with two runs of their own in the first, as key hits by Stephanie Jones and Courtney Warren, aided by two costly Polk errors, gave the Warlassies a 2-1 edge at the end of one. Owen never looked back, adding two more runs in the fifth for the 4-1 victory. As so often is the case when two top teams square off, pitching and defense ruled the day. While

Polk’s Jamie Hrobak enjoyed a strong performance, striking out 10 and walking none, the Lady Wolverines wound up committing six costly defensive miscues on the afternoon. Meanwhile, a welloiled Owen machine turned in an error-free performance, as Owen’s Fisher went the distance, giving up just one more hit for a total of four, striking out six and walking none. “We didn’t deserve to win,” Polk assistant coach Jamie Thompson said following the game. “They made the plays and we didn’t.” A clearly disappointed Wilson agreed with Thompson’s assessment. “We didn’t play well enough to win,” said Wilson. “We’ve got to get back to work, and hopefully continue to get better.” With the victory, Owen as-

Owen baseball edges Wolverines in heartbreaker 11-10 by Daniel Hecht

Coming into Friday evening’s contest at Owen High School, Polk head coach Ty Stott’s squad knew what was at stake. At the end of the night, only one team would stand alone atop the Western Highlands conference race. The Wolverines, averaging 11 runs per game in the first eight games of the season, hoped their prowess at the plate would help raise them to the summit. Polk struck early, touching up Owen starter JD Chaplain for four runs in the first inning and two more in the second. Tyler Philpott led the way with an RBI single in the first and a two-run homer in the second. The Polk hit machine once again seemed to be on cruise control. However, the Warhorses, a team with eight players batting over .300, had other ideas, and struck back in the bottom of the third, notching four runs to narrow the margin to 6-4.

Unimpressed, the Wolverines countered with four more runs in the top of the fourth to again widen the gap to a six-run lead. Owen was down but not out, and after posting two more runs in the bottom of the fifth, the Warhorses galloped back for four runs in the bottom of the sixth to tie the score at 10-10 going into the final frame. With the stage set for a dramatic finish, the Wolverines came to the plate in the top of the seventh to face Owen closer Thomas Brown. Pitching to the top of a very potent Polk County batting order, Brown proceeded to strike out three of the four batters he faced, sending the Warhorses to the plate in the bottom of the seventh with the score still knotted at 10. Owen’s Kaleb Fowler led off the bottom of the seventh with a base hit, and with one out, Brandon Spivey walked to put runners at first and second. After

Jordan Brown’s deep fly out to center field moved the runners ahead to second and third, Dylan Hensley stepped up to the plate and lashed a two-out double to left center, driving home Fowler for the game-winning run.

Brown earned the victory for Owen, while Alec Philpott lost his first game of the year for the Wolverines, falling to 3-1. With the loss, Polk falls to 7-2 on the season, and second place in the Western Highlands conference with a 4-1 record.
