Rita Holden’s shoulders lost a bit of their tension June 17 as she drove through her community of Silver Creek in Mill Spring. She watched as crews worked Friday morning patching potholes in the asphalt along Bishop Lane, a welcome sight after three years of efforts to push the state to repair the roads. “It was a feeling of relief that it was finally happening and also a feeling of pride that we did this as a group,” Holden said. “I’ve just been so happy all day.” Holden is the vice-president of the Silver Creek Community organization, which initiated a petition three years ago for the state to take over (Continued on page 4)

Polk closes on Alexander’s Ford property Nature preserve park could be open next summer by Leah Justice

Polk County officially owns Alexander’s Ford at Bradley Nature Preserve, thanks to grants and the Bradley Fund, which

held the property for the past five years. The closing occurred last week on the 163-acre property, which will be used as a nature preserve. In 2006, the board of the Marjorie M. and Lawrence R. Bradley Endowment Fund through the Polk County Community Foundation committed to pre-

serving the historic property by purchasing land from Tryon Arts and Crafts and establishing conservation easements. Polk County in the meantime sought grants to make the $830,000 purchase using no county funding. (Continued on page 3)

• Alexander’s Ford (continued from page 1)

“The purchase of the Alexander’s Ford property is a great event for the citizens of Polk County,” said Polk County’s Alexander’s Ford Project Manager Ambrose Mills. “We are grateful for the generosity of Marjorie M. and Lawrence Bradley. The nature preserve which will bear their names will truly be ‘a benefit for generations to come’ as they desired. The diligence and wisdoms of the boards of their foundation and the Polk County Community Foundation have made this possible.” The county park is not yet open to the public. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said improvements must be made to the property to make it accessible and usable as a park. Whitson said under the state grant requirements, the county will have about a year to make those improvements. Hopefully, Whitson said, the park will be available for public use

sometime next summer. The property was described last year by Tom Fanslow, land protection director of Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy, as a “botanical garden.” County commissioners approved a budget ordinance last year of $1,419,500 for the project. The county obtained funding through several grant sources, including the N.C. Clean Water Management Trust Fund, the N.C. Natural Heritage Trust Fund and the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund. Polk County’s vision for the property is to create a nature preserve that will be low maintenance and low cost to the county. The land is situated along almost a mile of the Green River and includes part of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, which follows the route of assembly of the American Patriot Army, which decisively defeated an American Loyalist army at the battle of

Kings Mountain, S.C., in the fall of 1780. The land is also thought to be at least a transit route for native Americans. “The Bradley board is delighted that a land so ecologically rich and steeped in history will remain unspoiled for generations of residents to enjoy,” states a Polk

County Community Foundation press release. “Located along the Green River in Mill Spring, the property has impressed environmental surveyors with its botanical diversity, including several rare plant species and (Continued on page 4)

the maintenance responsibilities of the almost-40-year-old subdivision’s roads. “The homeowners’ association disbanded in 2001 and ever since then the roads have just gone down and down and down,” said Holden. Formerly known as Land of the Lakes, this 369-parcel community

its partners successfully raised enough funds through grants and local contributions that zero county dollars were needed for the purchase. Meanwhile, the foundation confirmed that the property would be permanently protected after the sale through comprehensive conservation easements and deed restrictions. “ Maps of the Overmountain Victory Trail, including information about Alexander’s Ford, are available at the community foundation, located at 255 South Trade Street in Tryon. was first established in 1972. Community members said they spent a great deal of time and money back in 2009 to change the name of the community to Silver Creek because of the bad reputation attached to Land of the Lakes. In general, organization second vice-president Don Yarbrough said, neighbors really want to make a (Continued on page 5)

difference for each other. Yarbrough moved to the neighborhood four years ago. He said residents have worked diligently to improve their community by putting in place community welcome signs, building flower boxes and having regular litter collection days. He said many of the men in the community have even gathered to fill the worst potholes with gravel. He said it is that community spirit that led neighbors to push for state assistance. Not long after they moved to the neighborhood in 2007, Holden and her husband put up flyers asking community members to meet at the Mill Spring Fire Department to discuss the road situation. She said response was lackluster at first until longtime resident Wiley Gainus got involved. He went door-to-door to get everyone’s attention. “We let everyone know, ‘Look we need to get everyone on board and see what we can do about this,’” Holden said. Yarbrough said Gainus noticed more than 30 kids standing at the end of Silver Creek Road in the dark of the morning waiting for the school bus. He said the main goal initially was just to get the school bus back in their neighborhood. “It’s been a long, long process,” Yarbrough said. “It’s taken three years since we started this project again and it had already been attempted at least twice before but residents were told by the N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) that we were not eligible for any DOT funds.” Eventually, after pressure from residents, county officials began looking into what the state requirements were for DOT funds and discovered The Donner Law, Yarbrough said. The Donner Law that was passed in 1975 stated that anything registered before that year could be turned over the state for maintenance. The law said such roads, if they met other requirements such as containing eight homes within a given mile, were eligible for $4,000 per permanent household, amounting to a $32,000 credit with DOT.

Yarbrough said they knew that wouldn’t be enough even for the first 1.3-mile section they wished to repair immediately. So, this time last year, they approached Sen. Tom Apodaca and Rep. David Guise for assistance. In April, community members discovered the two legislators had in fact appropriated $75,000 each from their contingency funds for the project. The project will cost more than $250,000 for the first phase or 1.3 miles. Yarbrough said DOT officials notified them that once this phase was finished most of the adjoining roads would qualify as well. “They started work today and they’ve made a lot of headway,” Yarbrough said on Friday. “I think this is really going to help community relations because this has been a thorn in a lot of people’s side for a long time.” Residents have been told crews should complete the first phase by this fall.

Kathleen’s Gallery celebrates one-year anniversary by Robin A. Edgar

Tryon resident Kathleen Carson feels very lucky. This April, she celebrated the one-year anniversary of relocating Kathleen’s Gallery (formerly Simply Irresistible on Ola Mae Way) to the old barbershop on North Trade Street. Increasing her customer traffic, she turned a little used storefront into a valuable part of the Tryon streetscape. Contributing to the town’s buy local campaign, the gallery showcases a variety of the area’s artists and crafters, 99 percent of them from North and South Carolina, mostly from Polk County. Born in Wyandotte, Mich., Carson began her artistic entrepreneurial adventures when she attended the Fashion Institute of America in Atlanta. After taking courses at Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Fla., she started freelancing for small design firms. “I always sought jobs in the arts or in art-related industries,” said Carson. In New York City, she worked at the world-renowned advertising agency BBD&O, and the international advertising, marketing and public relations agency Ogilvy & Mather. She then started her own tile business while living and working in Silver Springs, Md. “I spent nights designing ceramic tiles for kitchens and baths and my lunch hours visiting architects and interior designers,” she recalls. During a workshop at the Mercer Tile Works in Pennsylvania, Carson showed her tile samples to Norman Carlson, owner of Country Floors Tile. He liked her work and arranged

Upon his advice, she designed whole-room tile systems. “My work was included in their catalog and I was represented in their showrooms across the United States and Canada, shipping tile all over the world for 12 years,” she said. Settling in Tryon in 1991, Carson found a small house to rent and turned the back porch into her tile studio. When design styles turned to more natural materials, like granite and tumbled marble, her orders diminished. She decided to follow the credo on her mouse pad, “Life is all about how you handle Plan B,” and began designing furniture using her tiles with her husband, Bill Crowell’s,

ors to hint at the artsy wares inside. “We had a lot of help from friends and neighbors to re-plaster and paint and do the carpentry work. Even some customers helped to move all of the art down the hill from the old space,” she said. Since its opening on April 1, 2010, Kathleen’s Gallery offers an eclectic collection of color, energy and whimsy. Since many of the artists live in the area, Carson also points out that money from the gallery’s sales circulates to other local businesses. She also said attracting visitors in the downtown business district is

good for all the businesses. “Having a successful shop means visitors find more to do in Tryon and they keep coming back, hopefully bringing their friends,” said Carson. “When people come to shop, eat and have a good time here, it creates a thriving downtown and keeps local people employed. It is an awesome task to be a cog in this wonderful machine.” Carson’s advice to aspiring gallery owners? Keep regular store hours and smile – you’re very lucky.

WHERE WE WORK An in-depth look at an area business

PERSON FEATURED: Greg McCarren BUSINESSES: Foothills Fireplace & Stove, Skyuka Sun, McCarren Supply ADDRESS: 2324 Highway 108, Lynn PHONE NUMBER: 828-859-0376 EMAILS: ffands@windstream.net skyukasun@windstream.net mcsupply@windstream.net NATURE OF BUSINESS: Actually, we have three different businesses under one roof. At Foothills Fireplace & Stove, we sell, service and install woodstoves, fireplaces, chimneys, gas logs and other hearth-related equipment. Two years ago we started Skyuka Sun, a business selling and installing solar water heating systems. At McCarren Supply, we sell surplus building materials, such as windows and doors. While the three operate differently in many ways, they all have to do with the home, building and saving energy. PRINCIPAL OWNER: Greg McCarren YEAR FOUNDED: 2006 PRIOR LOCATIONS: I’ve run hearth businesses in other locations, but this is the first retail store I’ve owned. NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES: 6 (including owners) HOW’S BUSINESS? In the hearth business, our year is divided between the heating season, when we’re selling mostly stoves and gas logs, and the new construction season, when we’re selling mostly fireplaces. The last two heating seasons have been very strong, but new construction has certainly been off. Even so, we seem to be getting our share of the little bit that is going on. The solar business is growing and is starting to fill in for the slow-down in new construction. We’ve served hundreds of customers on the hearth side of our business, and many of them also have an interest in solar water heating. Most of the solar installations we’ve done have been for repeat hearth customers. The surplus business is off a little, but is steady. In this extremely slowed building environment, there isn’t as much surplus material being generated, although the demand is fairly steady from people remodeling or fixing up their existing homes. THINGS YOU WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS: Modern wood heating is very clean and very

green. Newer woodstoves are highly efficient, carbon neutral and have extremely low emissions. Chimneys stay cleaner, the air is cleaner and people get about 40 percent more heat from wood compared to a 25-year-old stove. Burning wood saves a lot of money, creates local jobs and is a very practical energy strategy for our area. SOMETHING YOU OFFER THAT A CUSTOMER WON’T FIND ELSEWHERE: Our expertise in woodburning. I’ve been in the hearth industry in one form or another for 35 years, and most of it was on the woodburning side. We certainly sell and service gas hearth products as well, but there are a number of businesses in the area that can do that. One of our specialties is replacing inefficient factory-built woodburning fireplaces with new high-efficiency built-in units that display a beautiful fire while heating the home.

ADVICE TO YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS: Be prepared to give 100 percent – of your time, your attention and of course, your money. Starting a small business in today’s business climate is not for the fainthearted. MY FIRST JOB: My first real job was working summers during high school for a landscaper. I worked for him for two summers. The first year, he was 88 years old and I was 16, and just the two of us made for an unusual landscaping crew. Despite a 72-year age difference, he was a little hard to keep up with. He taught me a lot about how to approach work and see it through. YOUR ROLE MODEL (IN BUSINESS OR IN LIFE GENERALLY): Edward Dick, the old landscaper. He did something he enjoyed, something he was very good at and he did it on his own terms. THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS IS: Offer highquality products and services that people need at prices they can afford. Have a passion for what you’re doing.

Hospice blessing of the path Walkway honors memories of patients by Samantha Hurst

Visitors to the Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum Wednesday, June 8 gingerly walked down the edges of a bricked pathway meandering into the property’s wooded lawn. They strolled slowly past memorial pavers stopping to read words etched in love and remembrance. Hospice House administrators, staff, volunteers and the loved ones of past patients gathered June 8 to bless the Hospice House’s Path of Remembrance with prayers and fellowship. “We hope this place will give

peace to all and many who visit here,” said Hospice development manager Diane Nelson. More than 250 pavers dot the walkway that stretches to the right of Hospice House. The Hospice House established the path when the building opened two years ago, but director of outreach Marsha VanHecke said administrators felt they needed a special commemoration of the new walkway. “After there was an accumulation of bricks, we realized we needed to do something to bless this path,” VanHecke said. “This community has built this house, they’ve made that path what it is – we’re just stewards of their generosity and we felt a (Continued on page 17)

need to recognize that fact.” Visitors offered gifts of vibrant perennials in purples, oranges and yellows to brighten the path while one woman brought a “Praying Hands” hosta. Bricks paid tribute to Hospice doctors and volunteers and to daughters, grandfathers and mothers, such as: “Evelyn C. Wright 1931-2010 We were blessed having you as our mama.” Leaders from multiple faith organizations played a part in the blessing. The blessing ended with a group prayer, which read, “God, grant us a happy journey and peaceful days. We ask You to watch over us, help us in our preparations, comfort us on our way, carry us in our tiredness and shield us in times of trouble. Lord, guide the steps of Your servants along this path of well-being. In the midst of this world may we always live under Your protection. Amen.”

“These people are still attached to their loved ones who died here. They are still, therefore, very connected to this place.” -- Marsha VanHecke

VanHecke said many family members have told her that when they walk on the path they feel they are on sacred ground. “These people are still attached to their loved ones who died here. They are still , therefore, very connected to this place,” she said. One woman, who couldn’t make the trip for the event, asked that a staff member take a moment to stand by her mother’s brick so that she was considered a part of the blessing and remembered by someone, Van Hecke said. She added there is no cutoff for purchasing a paver. If the path needs to be extended to accommodate additional memory bricks, there is room to do so on the grounds, she said.

Above: Family members of loved ones who have passed away, Hospice staff and volunteers brought these perennials to adorn the grassy areas along the side of the path.

Don’t forget to conduct post-event evaluation In the last article we discussed the final countdown before your special events. In this article we will talk about celebrating your special event, now that it is over. Before the event is a distant memory, make sure volunteers, guests and committee members have a chance to chime in and let you know their thoughts on how the event went. I would recommend a postevent evaluation form or survey. Make sure to break the evaluation down into a more manageable size with subtopics. These topics can include; location, food, entertainment, promotion and a section dedicated to the committee themselves. Ensure that the evaluations are sent out at least two days

Letter to the Editor

Tax cuts, public education from Bible To the Editor: At the recent public hearing on the proposed 2011-2012 Polk County budget, the chair of the Republican party spoke in favor of Tom Pack’s budget,

Nonprofit Leadership following the event. I would suggest giving everyone one week to complete and return the evaluations. At the end of that week schedule a committee meeting to discuss the results. At the committee meeting you want to make sure to make any necessary changes to the event according to the evaluations. Then it is time to start on next year’s event. After the meeting, make sure you properly thank everyone who made the event a success. There are several ways to celebrate the event’s success.

I will briefly cover three most popular ones below. Remember there is no wrong or right way to celebrate and thank everyone. The most important thing is that you do thank everyone in some way. A personal thank you note with a press clipping, a picture and/or small token of appreciation is a great way of saying thank you. Another idea is to throw a party for the staff, volunteers and sponsors and personally thank them. The party does not have to be elaborate; a small picnic will work great. The last suggestion is to write an op-ed piece for the local newspaper. In this op-ed piece make sure to describe the event in detail and how successful it was.

stating that a $10 tax cut could provide someone in need with a good meal. Other speakers spoke against the tax cut, saying it could prevent the county from having the funds to keep our very successful early childhood education program that is now in jeopardy due to state budget cuts. The story in the Bible about giving a man a fish so he can eat for a day or teaching him to fish so he can feed himself for

a lifetime is exactly what was at issue with the two proposed budgets. Giving someone one meal is nothing to be proud of when, by doing so, you are taking away the money that could provide them with education and a better future.
