Polk gets double feature in ‘Our State’ Magazine Thanks for your submissions — see you in the paper!

Tryon, Pearson’s Falls 2x2.5 highlighted by Leah Justice

“Our State” magazine recently included two features on Polk County. One of the features was written by Crys Armbrust about Tryon and his memories of first spending time in Tryon in the early 1970s. Armbrust’s article includes a section on Jim Cowan and Cowan’s Hardware; the ‘Our State’ website offers a video of Cowan doing his famous train whistle. Armbrust said his first memory of Tryon was from 1973, when his family arrived for one of their many summer-long stays. He said he first entered downtown, the air hung heavy with the scent of heirloom roses from the bank adjacent to McCown Street and he and his siblings TDBPROMOunderstood - page 73 why their parents had chosen Tryon. The article talks about Tryon’s musical heritage, artisan crafts and natural landscapes. Armbrust also mentions Tryon’s distinction as the birthplace of Nina Simone, the home of the Tryon Toy Makers and the playground for notable figures Zelda and F. Scott Fitzgerald, first ladies Grace Coolidge and Eleanor

Roosevelt; and actors William Gillette and Lefty Flynn. In speaking of Tryon’s train history, Armbrust talks about Cowan’s Hardware, which dates back to the 1930s. The other “Our State” feature was written by Jane Templeton about Pearson’s Falls, located between Saluda and Tryon. Templeton’s article discussed the attractions and history of Pearson’s Falls, which was purchased during the Depression years by five ladies who were determined to preserve the area. The ladies borrowed and paid back the money for the purchase from a local bank and established the Pearson’s Falls Glen and Wildlife Preserve, Templeton wrote. The property was put under the umbrella of the Tryon Garden Club, where it remains today. Since its purchase, Templeton writes, experts have come to identify and classify more than 200 species of wildflowers, some of which, including the ailed ginger and ginseng, are considered very rare. Students and area colleges use the glen as an outdoor laboratory. The articles can be seen at www.ourstate.com in the “My Town” section.

Flight of honor for veterans, local businessman by Samantha Hurst

While the intention of the quick plane ride Tryon businessman John Gargiulo took last weekend was to honor local veterans with trips to Washington D.C. war monuments, Gargiulo said he found himself honored simply to be in the veterans’ presence. “They are the Greatest Generation… because of them my generation had it better than anyone ever had and I’m afraid better than anyone ever will again,” Gargiulo said. “It’s all because of what these people did that made our lives so great.” Gargiulo participated in the May 14 Honor Flight to D.C. as a guardian to three veterans. Stepping off the plane and onto a charter bus, the vets and guardians made their way im(Continued on page 12)

Greenville attracts $ 100M bank, retail project Downtown Greenville, S.C. soon will be home to another bank headquarters and a new, large retail space, according to plans by Hughes Development Corp. The company said CertusBank plans to put its corporate headquarters, employing 350 people, in a new 11-story office building on Greenville’s Main Street. Next to the office building, Hughes is planning to construct about 50,000 square feet of retail space that will be occupied by Anthropologie, a store offering women’s clothing and home décor. CertusBank, which recently acquired a few failed banks, is a subsidiary of Blue Ridge Holdings Inc., an investment group based in Charlotte. In January, CertusBank acquired the failed CommunitySouth Bank and Trust of Easley, and this month CertusBank acquired two failed banks in Georgia. Developer Bob Hughes said it will be exciting for Greenville to have another headquarters “right in the heart of downtown.” The development is planned at the site of the former Woolworth building at Main and Washington streets. The building was recently demolished. Hughes Development said it plans to begin construction in July on the project’s first phase, which will include both retail and office space. Phase two will include additional office space and potentially a hotel in the 11-story building, said Hughes. Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, a Greenville law firm, previously committed to lease some of the office space for about 100 of its employees. Hughes said the development will office development will open late next year and Anthropologie will open in 2013. The City of

Greenville plans to spend about $4 million to redesign a plaza area surrounding the development. *** Higher gas prices aren’t expected to keep drivers off the roads in the Carolinas on this Memorial Day weekend. AAA Carolinas predicts Memorial Day traffic will be up by about three percent this year in both North Carolina and South Carolina. AAA estimates about 865,000 people in North Carolina and 423,000 in South Carolina will be traveling by car for the holiday. The increase is forecasted despite gas prices that are up nearly $1 per gallon from the same time this year. The average price of a gallon of gas on May 13 was $3.87 in North Carolina and $3.59 in South Carolina, according to AAA. Prices are much higher than last spring, but down about 13 cents from a recent peak. David E. Parsons, president and chief executive of AAA Carolinas, said AAA has found that employment impacts vacation travel more than gas prices. North Carolina’s unemployment rate is down 2.6 percent from a high of 12.1 percent in February of last year. South Carolina’s jobless rate is down 2.8 percent from a high of 12.4 percent in January of 2010. AAA said it has received more hotel bookings than last year. Air travel is also expected to increase compared to the Memorial Day holiday last year. AAA estimates 67,000 North Carolinians will fly on this holiday, and another 60,000 will travel by bus, rail or another transportation mode.

Despite encountering many obstacles and challenges along the way, Jeter said she never considered stopping.

Selma Frayne Neel, a senior at Polk County High School, has designed the 2011 Foothills CROP logo. Neel and Jeff Thomas, Polk County High School art instructor, are shown with the 2011 logo that will grace the hundreds of T-shirts worn by walkers in the event. The Foothills CROP Walk is a gathering of individuals from all over the Thermal Belt to raise awareness of the problems of hunger here in the foothills, as well as the world. Hundreds will converge on Harmon Field the first weekend of November to walk in solidarity with those around the world who walk for the very basics of life, food, water and shelter. CROP Walks are the primary fund raising event for Church World Service, an ecumenical service group dedicated to making hunger obsolete. Businesses, clubs, schools, churches and caring folk make this annual event possible. For more information about Foothills Crop Walk, contact your local church group.

Upstairs Artspace annual Spring Auction raises $12,000 There’s nothing like a live auction. The night of Saturday, April 9 was quiet in Tryon, but it was crowded and bustling at the Upstairs Artspace. More than 200 people attended the Upstairs’ art auction, one of the gallery’s major annual fundraising events. The auction featured community donated art and included some paintings, sculptures, drawings and prints. “We’re so grateful for the generosity everyone showed,” said Carol Newton, vice president of the Upstairs’ board of directors. “We called for help from our community, and that’s exactly what we got.” Sales from the evening’s ev en ts r ais ed mo r e t h a n $12,000, twice the amount generated by the gallery’s previous auction. Proceeds will support the Upstairs in an economic environment presently challenging so many businesses, but specifically, the arts and artists. “We see this fundraiser as a sort of clearinghouse for good will,” said Newton. “We received an unprecedented amount of art from the community, auctioned those items off, and the money we generated will be used to support this community-based arts organization.” Newton especially credited volunteer co-chairs Gail Muir and Harry Sparshott for their commitment and energy. “In March, Harry sent out an email that said we only had 15 pieces so far, which was a lot less than the 100 pieces we had at the last auction. He and Gail put out the alert and we ended up with 250 pieces. That was because of this wonderful community. We put an article in the Tryon Daily Bulletin and the community heard the cry. People stepped up and proved

MeMoria May 2

that this is truly the community’s gallery. That’s what we want it to be,” said Newton. Staff member Wyndy Morehead was one of many people involved in the hands-on preparation that went into the event. Morehead reported that 99 percent of the donated artworks were sold that evening. “The quality of pieces was high - and that’s what we wanted - but we were truly pleased with the range and depth of the items we were able to offer,” Morehead added with a smile, “I think there might have even been some ‘Antiques Roadshow finds’ among the night’s offerings.” Donated work included a large array of folk art and pieces from well-known local artists, including Claude Graves from Little Mountain Pottery and Jim Cullen from Roundhouse Pottery. Many local artists contributed pieces. Landscape and portrait artist Rich Nelson donated a painting that sold for more than $2,000 at the live auction. All week, the silent auction drew bidders to their hopedfor treasures. They wrote down their bids, then returned throughout the week to see if anybody had bested them. Saturday afternoon, bidders returned in earnest, hovering in the vicinity of their treasure, if not directly over it, lest someone outbid them. Someone banged a pot: “Final bids! The silent auction ends in five minutes!” Auction organizers said the atmosphere was exciting and festive and there was a lot of scurrying around in the last seconds. Local residents, art collectors and those hoping to score a bargain stood shoulderto-shoulder in front of nearly (Continued on page 24)

Is there any way to ensure my husband’s estate will use the - inDD - page 2 0tfn5fri applicable exclusion amount if he dies first and ensure that my property will go to my children after we are both gone? A. Yes As it currently stands if your husband dies before you do, only $300,000 will be in his estate and the benefit of the full exclusion amount ($1million) will be lost. By using a lifetime QTIP trust, you can make a tax-free gift to your husband but control the use of that gift. The value of the QTIP will be included in your husband’s estate and not yours. You can provide that when you are both gone, the property remaining in the QTIP trust is to go to your children. This technique accomplishes both goals of reducing estate taxes and ensuring that your children receive the benefit of your assets.

Foothills Humane Society receives grant to fund two summer interns Foothills Humane Society has again received a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation to pay the salary of two part time high school student summer interns for 2011. The interns must reside in Polk County or Landrum. The funded position will provide assistance to the local Humane Society during the busy summer months when hundreds of homeless animals come to the area’s animal shelter. The summer interns gain real-life work experience learning about the operations of the shelter, working with staff and volunteers to care for the animals, locating the owners of stray animals and finding homes for homeless animals. The shelter internship is ideal for a student interested in pursuing a career in animal science, veterinary science or a related field. Last year’s interns were Grayson Prichard and Rachel

Lomax. Two of FHS’ current employees were previous interns and are now in college for veterinary technician training. Interested parties should apply for the Polk County Community Foundation Internship at Foothills Humane Society by visiting the FHS website at www.foothillshumanesociety. org or email the organisation at foothillshelter@windstream.net for an application package. Do not call or visit the shelter for an application. Foothills Humane Society is a North Carolina not-for-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of animals in the Polk community, including the care of more than 1,500 lost, unwanted and abused animals each year. Donations and volunteers to help care for the community’s animals are always needed and appreciated. – article submitted by Dot Moyer

Rotary Club of Tryon Foundation shows support of Steps to HOPE Thanks in large part to a donation from the Rotary Club of Tryon Foundation, Steps to HOPE will soon set up a new computer system. Computers currently in use at the shelter offices and thrift store are outdated and mismatched – ranging from donated computers to computers purchased several years ago and most of them are using incompatible and outdated software programs. New

networked external drives will eliminate duplication of file updating and make sharing files easier, thus saving the small staff valuable time. This new computer system will support client database and other applications soon to be required by the state in order to remain in compliance with grant mandates. – article submitted by Debra Backus, Steps to HOPE.

Speaking of our Lord, my reason for being at church was to express gratitude for the talents and abilities he has graced me with. I am often humbled by the praise and support I receive for the work I do, but I never lose sight that all honor and glory belongs to Him who makes it all possible. So, as I left the church, I concluded my prayers the same way I conclude with all of you each week. I simply said, “Thanks for listening.”

Barbershop music makes a comeback In the past few years, popularity for a capella music due to influences such as TV shows, “Glee,” “Sing Out,” “American Idol,” “The Choir” (BBC) and many others has caused barbershop singing to become the new craze at college campuses and high schools. No longer is barbershop just four guys in straw hats on the street corner. Barbershop singing is simply four-part, unaccompanied, close harmony singing with melody in the second voice, called the lead. The tenor (counter-tenor voice) harmonizes above the lead singer; the bass sings the lowest harmonizing notes and the baritone provides in-between notes to form consonant pleasing chords. Barbershop music is a unique American style and is a melting pot product of African-American musical devices, European hymnsinging culture and an American tradition of recreational music. It is part of the continuum of American music, sharing roots with both gospel and jazz. The public is invited to hear for themselves this American genre as the local chapter of The Barbershop Harmony Society, The Palmetto Statesmen, will

hold its annual show Saturday, June 18 at 7 p.m. at the new Fine Arts Center in Duncan, next to the Byrnes High School campus (150 East Main Street, Duncan, S.C.). Also on the show are two guest quartets, One Accord, made up of four area music ministers, and 17 Below, a comedy quartet which also sings barbershop. Tickets may be obtained online at https://sites. google.com/site/palmettostatesmen/Home/tickets or by calling 864-877-1352. The Palmetto Statesmen Chorus and Quartets are a 501(3)c charitable organization and often sing at various events, dinners and occasions around the Upstate and into North Carolina. They have sung at the Peace Center, Chapman Cultural Center, Red, White and Boom and many other venues. The chorus is always looking for men who might like to sing for fun. The group practices every Tuesday evening from 7 p.m. 9:30 p.m. at the Memorial United Methodist Church, located at 150 East Main St. in Greer. The public is invited to attend practice also. – article submitted by Richard Carey

The property now used for the maintenance shed has great potential for a new development that would be realized by a public-private partnership between the town and a developer. Improvement of rear facades of buildings that front Trade Street would be easy to accomplish if building owners work as group to implement this. One immediate need the group said is for the town to have elevation surveys done so that designers and developers know exactly how many levels between the train depot and Howard Street are to be considered. – article submitted by Wanda May

(continued from page 33)

The study area covered the parcels bounded by Trade Street, Palmer Street, Howard Street and Maple Street. This area is zoned as “Central Business District,” which is pedestrian-oriented. The area is currently occupied by two prominent businesses, several houses and a sizable parcel owned and used by the Town of Tryon as a maintenance headquarters. After participation by those attending, many positive ideas were expressed about what an asset this block could provide to the ongoing downtown revitalization efforts of TDDA and the Town of Tryon. Without encroaching on properties that are privately owned, there are many opportunities to improve

enough cost cutting opportunity to balance the federal budget without: Eliminating everything in the federal budget except Defense and Homeland Security, and Reducing the Defense/Homeland Security budget by another 15 - 20 percent. This would require eliminating Federal Law Enforcement, Department of Transportation, Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, Environmental Protection Agency, Science and Space Agencies, Department of Commerce and the Department of Energy. Of course, all the entitlement programs would go before the previously mentioned agencies including such things as welfare, international aid, unemployment supplements and disaster relief. This would reduce expenditures by $0.9 trillion. We could use tax increases to help close the gap. Tax receipts are now at about 14.8 percent of GDP dropping from 17.5 percent in Bush’s last year in office. The last time they were this low was during Harry Truman’s administration. Since it’s obvious that

lower tax rates to corporations and the wealthy don’t generate economic growth, an adjustment is justified. The pragmatic thing to do is to cut expenses and raise taxes, but it needs to be done intelligently. We need to look at expenditures from the perspective of investment costs and benefits, eliminating or re-directing investments that get us more bang for our bucks. The change in NASA’s direction and funding sets a good example. And we need to quit coddling the major beneficiaries of our economic system and require them to pay for the privilege. Offshore trickery to keep corporations from paying United States taxes should immediately be ended. If the revenue is made by operations in the United States, those operations should pay U.S. taxes, period. Tax breaks should be reserved only for new and emerging industries that manufacture in the United States. Anything else is pure quackery. Rodney Gibson is the former mayor of Saluda.

Garth Mulroy Wins 2011 BMW Charity Pro-Am by Daniel Hecht

South African Garth Mulroy won the 11th annual BMW Charity Pro-Am golf tournament Sunday afternoon at Spartanburg’s Thornblade Club. The win, which came on the first playoff hole against South Korean Sunghoon Kang, was the first win this year for the North Carolina State alum. Mulroy finished the tournament at 18 under par (65, 66, 70 and 67). The ProAm, co-hosted by Bright’s Creek Golf Club in Mill

Spring, earned Mulroy $108,000. Those winnings vaulted him from 68th to second on the Nationwide Tour money list. Mulroy has earned a total of $123,065 so far this year. The top 25 money leaders on the Nationwide Tour automatically earn playing status on the PGA Tour in 2012. Amateur Marshall Mizell and his professional partner Darron Stiles won the Pro-Am/ProCeleb portion of the tournament (Continued on page 45)

and Patrick Warburton. The BMW Charity Pro-Am presented by SYNNEX Corporation is the only tournament on the PGA Tour’s Nationwide Tour where amateurs and celebrities are grouped with Nationwide Tour professionals in a four-day better-ball competition over three courses. Amateurs, celebrities and pros rotated between three courses on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with the 14 lowest scoring pro-amateur/pro-celebrity teams advancing to play Sunday’s final round at Thornblade Club. Celebrities played once at each course on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Amateurs and celebrities competed for individual prizes and cash donations to the charity of their choice out of the beneficiaries selected by South Carolina Charities Inc. The first 10 tournaments raised nearly $8 million for more than 150 charities. Money raised from the 2011 tournament will be announced in the coming months.

Michael Smith performs at Isothermal Performing Arts Auditorium Saturday, May 28 Shep-Song Music & Productions announces a concert at the Isothermal Foundation Performing Arts Auditorium on Saturday, May 28. The event, titled “An Evening with the Shepherd,” will showcase the music ministry of one of the Western Carolina’s premier artists – Michael Shepherd Smith. Smith is a musician, composer, singer, director and pastor. Smith began playing the piano at the age of 5. He attributes his love for music to his mother, the late Mary Williams Smith. By the age of 12, Smith was playing piano for most of the local churches in McDowell County and his skills were heard each Sunday afternoon on WBRM radio, where he accompanied a local quintet - the

Rising Stars. After graduation, he moved to Greensboro to attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in 1976 and became pianist for his favorite group – The Rising Gospel Singers. The Risings solidified his developing skills and it was with them that his vocal gifts began to surface. It was through the Risings that he was introduced to the Gospel Music Workshop of America, an international aggregation of gospel music enthusiasts founded by the king of gospel music - the late Reverend James Cleveland. Through this organization, he was exposed to such gospel greats as Rev. Cleveland, Mattie Moss Clark, Walter Hawkins and Thomas Whitfield. The impact these artists had on Smith was, in his words, “immeasurable.” In 1977, Smith formed his own group – the Voices of Inspiration. Over the course of their 34 years, almost 75 of North and South Carolina’s most gifted singers and musicians have been a part of the Voices of Inspiration music ministry. Smith has performed in 17 states and the District of Columbia and internationally in Ghana and Liberia, West Africa. He has composed music

for a number of artists, including national recording artist Dorothy Norwood (“I Prayed About It”). Smith is the pastor of Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church in Marion, N.C. “An Evening with the Shepherd” will feature a collection of his recent compositions interpreted by a 45-voice choir, The Voices of Inspiration, The Shepherd’s Singers, a six-piece gospel band, several of the area’s soloists and The Shepherd himself – Michael S. Smith. Tickets may be purchased at Staley Clothing in Spindale, N.C., by contacting Tonya Staley at 864-592-3738 or Beatrice Josey at 864-907-2718, or at the door. – article submitted by Tonya S.

Tips, treatments for Restless Leg Syndrome Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about restless leg syndrome? I’m 58 years old, and my wife thinks I may have it because I sometimes wake her up at night kicking my legs. Restless Larry Dear Larry, If an irresistible urge to move your legs has you kicking in your sleep, you may indeed have restless leg syndrome (RLS), a common, under diagnosed condition that affects around 10 percent of Americans. Here’s what you should know. Do you have RLS? RLS is a neurological disorder that causes unpleasant sensations in the legs (usually in the calf area) and an irresistible urge to move your legs when resting or sitting still. The symptoms usually get worse with age. The main complaint with RLS, other than it being uncomfortable, is that it disrupts sleep. While researchers have yet to pin down a specific cause of RLS, they do know of various conditions linked to it including: genetics (it often runs in families), anemia, kidney problems, peripheral neuropa-

thy, diabetes, attention deficit disorder and even pregnancy. Do you have RLS? If you answer yes to most of these questions, you probably do. When you sit or lie down, do you have a strong desire to move your legs? Does your desire to move your legs feel impossible to resist? Would you use the words unpleasant, creepy-crawly, electric current, itching, tingling, pulling or tugging to describe your symptoms? Does your desire to move often occur when you are resting or sitting still? Does moving your legs make you feel better? Do these symptoms bother you more at night? Do you ever have involuntary leg movements while you are awake?

Tips and remedies While there’s no cure for RLS, there are some things you can do to alleviate the symptoms. Here are tips and remedies that may help: • Get a blood test: Studies show that iron or vitamin deficiency can cause or worsen RLS. Your doctor can easily

check this with a simple blood test, and may recommend supplementing your diet with vitamin E, iron, vitamin B12 or folate. • Check your meds: Certain drugs that treat high blood pressure, heart conditions, nausea, colds, allergies and depression can make RLS worse. If you take any of these, ask your doctor if something else can be prescribed. • Watch your diet: Pay attention to what you eat to see if it may cause or increase your symptoms. • Limit caffeine and alcohol: Both of these can make symptoms worse. • Stretch: A good calf stretch and a strong massage may provide some relief. • Take a bath: For some people a hot or cold bath can help, or try using a heating pad or ice pack. • Try compression: Wrapping ace bandages or wearing compression support stockings around the problem area has also been known to help. • Exercise: Moderate exercise (20 to 30 minutes three or four times a week) can also relieve

The Lowe’s Expo will offer free garden clinics, plants for sale, a free hands-on kid’s clinic and backyard displays. Nationally known lawn and garden product specialists will be giving free one-on-one advice and samples

of their products. The Lowe’s Kids Clinic, located at the Visitors Information Center, will offer free hands-on building projects for children ages 4-12.

symptoms and help you sleep better. Exercising late in the evening however can induce symptoms. • Reduce stress: Stress can aggravate RLS. Meditation and yoga are good relaxation techniques you may want to try, especially before going to bed at night. Treatments If the tips or remedies don’t improve your condition prescription medications may help. Requip (or its generic Ropinirole) and Mirapex are two drugs approved by the FDA to treat RLS, but there are several other drugs that treat other conditions (dopaminergic agents, sedatives, anticonvulsants and pain relievers) that have also been found to be helpful. Talk to your doctor about these options, or consult an RLS specialist (see rls.org to locate one) or a sleep specialist (see sleepcenters.org). Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
