Decorated wagons, scooters, strollers and bikes are welcomed.
luck if you choose varieties from the “winter series.” Thanks to advancements in Camellia breeding by Dr. William Ackerman of the U.S. National Arboretum, Camellias are not out of the reach of gardeners in the mountains of North Carolina. There are dozens of varieties that are considered part of the “winter series.” The most popular of the cold hardy cultivars have the word “winter” in their names — ‘Winter’s Interlude’, ‘Winter’s Star’, ‘Winter’s Waterlily’ and ‘Winter’s Charm’ are a few. Others such as ‘Pink Icicle’ and ‘Snow Flurry’ are equally tough varieties. These cherished Southern evergreen plants can now be enjoyed in gardens further west and north in Hardiness Zone 6. Camellias prefer partial shade and well drained, acid soil. Some cultivars will flower as early as October, while most bloom from November to January. Winter color when nothing else is in flower — wow, they have to be a showstopper!

JAPANESE PLUM YEW
(Cephalotaxus harringtonia ‘Prostrata’)
Southern gardenerS for yearS have dreamed of grow-
ing the common yew in their landscape. Unfortunately yews don’t like our hot, humid summertime weather. If you are looking for an evergreen shrub with conifer-like foliage then look no further. The Japanese Plum Yew is the plant for you. Plum yews make fine specimen plants and can also be used in groupings or in a mass planting. They tolerate a wide range of soils and need very little maintenance. Locate in shade or partial shade, even though well established plants will grow successfully in full sun. The only complaint that one will hear about Japanese Plum Yews is their slow growth rate. The cultivar ‘Prostrata’ is a low-growing plum yew that reaches 2 to 3 feet tall and 3 feet in width. Many plant experts agree that the landscape potential for plum yews in the Southeast has not been tapped. Best of all, Japanese Plum Yews are deer resistant.

Julia Skellie wins Eddie Wortman AAU Memorial Gymnastics award at AAU regional championship Julia Skellie of Foothills Gymnastics Academy was honored at the AAU Southeastern Regional Gymnastics Championship held June 18-19 in Charlotte, N.C., at the Bojangles Collesium. Gymnasts from all around the southeastern United States represented their home states in team as well as individual competitions. The entire competitive team at Foothills Gymnastics Academy in Tryon qualified for the N.C. AAU state team. It was the only gym in North Carolina to earn this distinction. During the Saturday evening Spirit Celebration, several awards were given, including the Eddie Wortman AAU Memorial Gymnastics Award. Wortman was a dedicated gymnastics coach for many years in Florida who recently lost his battle with cancer. An award was established in his honor to recognize a gymnast who stands out above the rest in both character and sportsmanship as well as talent. AAU officials said, “The memorial award is presented by
AAU Gymnastics to the outstanding optional gymnast (Level 7 and up) who is at least 12 years old during the regional championship. While the gymnastics competency of the individual is of primary consideration, it is important that the gymnast exemplifies a true athlete in their demeanor, sportsmanship and image.” Skellie was selected for the award out of nine gymnasts from across the southeast in the final nominations. Skellie was recognized for her outstanding AAU competition scores in the Modified Optional division. She was also recognized for her 4.7 GPA as a rising 10th grade honor student at Landrum High School; however, most notably for her character both in and out of the gym. In her nomination, she was described as “a great leader to whom all of the gymnasts look-up to and strive to become. She works diligently on her routines, encourages fellow gymnasts, and shows the utmost respect for her coach,

team parents and teammates. She is polite, respectful and a supportive friend. Julia Skellie epitomizes good sportsmanlike conduct and is an excellent role model.” Skellie has been a competitive gymnast for Foothills Gymnastics Academy for six years and is coached by Jana Williamson.
She has recently announced her retirement from the sport but will continue in gymnastics as an assistant coach for Foothills. She is the daughter of David and Caroline Skellie of Campobello. – article submitted by Foothills Gymnastics

in 2008 and Vining writes the text and selects the photographs for the color fact sheet each year. “The project is a team effort,” said Vining. “We have an exceptional committee of extension horticulturists from across North Carolina who help select the ‘showstopper’ plants. We couldn’t have a better partner than the Nursery and Landscape Association. They have supported and funded the project from the very first.”

• BLET
(continued from page 1)
a policy requiring that all new sheriff office employees have the certification. Officers, particularly jail officers, whose pay level may be as low as a grade 16, would be able to increase their pay to a grade 20, which would be a 20 percent pay increase. If commissioners agree, the policy would automatically pay officers who obtain BLET certification at a grade 20, which is the starting salary for deputies. Some officers, such as patrol officers, are required to hold BLET certification prior to being hired, but jailers are not required to hold the certification. Commissioners said they tabled the decision in order to speak with sheriff Donald Hill after concerns about the proposed policy change were expressed. Commissioners asked sheriff’s officer Ronnie Smith how long the training takes to complete. Smith said the training is approximately eight months for persons who work, which includes four hours per night and some Saturdays. Training is offered at local colleges, including Blue Ridge Technical College, Isothermal Community College-Spindale and Asheville-Buncombe Technical College. Full-time students can obtain the certification in about four months, he said. Smith said it would be impossible for officers who work a 12-hour shift to obtain BLET certification because the classes begin at 6 p.m. He said if the officers reduced their hours to eight per day, that would take away 16 hours of pay per week, and most officers couldn’t afford the decreased pay. Questions were also raised about how third shift employees could attend the classes, which conflict with their work shift. Commissioner Tom Pack said the county needs to make sure the training is available to
all employees on each shift who want to obtain the certification. “Otherwise, you’re only going to help a portion and not the others,” said Pack. Commissioners agreed if the decision is made to raise the pay for officers working to obtain BLET certification to grade 20, the county would work with the sheriff to handle scheduling conflicts. Commissioners also mentioned that more money could be put in the sheriff’s office budget to pay for part-time employees to cover the shifts. Smith also mentioned another possible conflict for jailers, who are required by the state to obtain 160 hours of training in order to be a jailer. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said the 160-hour training hours are done on county time and the county pays for the training. “Plus it’s a stressful thing to go through BLET,” Smith said. “You’ll have some that won’t be able to sustain the work schedule, home life and training.” Commissioner Ted Owens said Monday that he was trying to understand how someone could work and do eight months worth of training. But commissioner Cindy Walker said it’s no different than teachers obtaining a master’s degree to receive a pay increase. They work and go to school at night, she said, and although it’s not easy, some are willing to go for the additional education. Commissioners plan to seek more information on the possibilities and speak with Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill before approving the new policy to offer the pay increase. Commissioners also said they would like to know how many employees would be interested in seeking the certification. The board will discuss the item again during its July meeting, which will be held on July 11 at 7 p.m.

ICC to hold Homeownership Opportunities Fair June 25 A Homeownership Opportunity Fair will be held June 25 at the Isothermal Community College conference center in Spindale, N.C. June is National Homeownership Month, and organizers said the fair is designed to show participants that, now as much as ever, homeownership can bring financial stability, personal equity, stronger communities, job creation and economic growth. The businesses and organizations that will offer booths and displays at the fair will include the following: • Mortgage lenders • Housing counselors • Government representatives, • Closing attorneys • Home builders • Home insurance companies • Home improvement stores • Real estate professionals Mini-seminars related to the home-buying process will also be available during this event. There will be give-aways and door prizes provided by sponsors and vendors. The fair is coordinated by the Area IX Office of USDA Rural Development, located in Shelby, N.C., with a satellite office in Statesville, N.C. This organization is responsible for administering several rural housing and community development programs in a nine county region that includes Polk and Rutherford counties, as well as Catawba, Cleveland, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg and McDowell counties. Several key individuals and organizations are helping to organize this event, including Forest City Town Planner Danielle Withrow; Stanley McEntire from the Community Empowerment Program; Isothermal Planning & Development Commission
Executive Director Jim Edwards and Jamie Harrington, United Carolina Mortgage Group branch manager. “Homeownership is the heart of the American Dream and the foundation of our communities and the economy,” said Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.). “In the midst of economic downturn, however, this dream has become harder to achieve for average Americans. I applaud USDA Rural Development for their commitment to providing safe, affordable housing for residents in Western North Carolina who need it.” Rep. Patrick McHenry said, “Hard-working American families dream of owning a home and a piece of their community. A thoughtful investment in your own home is a solid foundation to build upon. USDA-Rural Development continues to help [families] in attaining the dream of homeownership.” Warren C. Smith, USDARD area director, said “... The purpose of the Fair and National Homeownership Month activities is to 1) promote, educate and inform the community about the importance and benefits of owning a home and 2) provide housing industry and service providers with a forum to share vital knowledge and current updates on what is available to those who may be interested in becoming homeowners or enhancing their current home. We will reach out to potential first-time homebuyers, community organizations, homeowners and other interested parties in Cleveland, Rutherford, McDowell and Polk counties.” For more information, contact rural development in Shelby at 704-471-0235, ext. 4; or in Statesville at 704-872-5061. – article submitted by Kevin M.

Tryon Painters and Sculptors’ June Art Wine and Cheese to feature Richard Baker The Tryon Painters and Sculptors will present a demonstration by oil painter Richard Baker at the final Art, Wine and Cheese event of the spring season. The demonstration will be held at the TPS studios at the Fine Arts Center from 4 - 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 28. Baker, a self-taught painter, has shown recently at Gallery 1 in the Fine Arts Center and maintains a personal studio on Trade Street in Tryon. He is active in community art events such as the Tryon Trot and Art Trek Tryon. This month’s demonstration
will let observers see how Baker creates the delicate realism in his landscapes, especially the effect of rushing water over rocks and atmospheric changes with color. As a sequel to the painting demonstration, Baker will conduct a two-day oil painting workshop emphasizing composition in painting. The workshop will be held on Friday, July 15 and Saturday, July 16 in the TPS studios at the Fine Arts Center in Tryon. For information and registration for the workshop, contact Christine Mariotti, TPS workshop

Martin reception continues long TPS tradition
Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS) will host an opening reception Sunday, June 26 for Diana Martin’s oil, acrylic and watercolor paintings in Gallery One at Tryon Fine Arts Center in Tryon. This reception continues TPS’ long history of fine artists’ shows. TPS said it is endeavoring to maintain that high standard by providing shows that represent both local and regional artists of diverse qualities representing current trends. This excerpt was taken from TPS’ “Our First 25 Years” booklet:“Gallery One was born when the F.A.C. (fine arts center) board agreed to turn the room over to (Karl) Lohse as long as the Tryon Painters and Sculptors would stand the expense of improvements, hold monthly art shows, and in general assume responsibility for the room. “‘He was bright, imaginative and abrasive,’ thus Karl was described by his admiring fellowworkers during this period. The cement block walls were covered with burlap and the floor with carpeting. Willing hands painted, scrubbed and even created a storeroom for janitor supplies. When the requirement arose for a Mural Room (now Mahler Family Board Room) painting, Carol E. Bartol, Julia Calhoun Williams, Ronny Mosseller and others created one, depicting a Trade Street scene.” Probably one of the most outstanding shows exhibited in Gallery One was the “Forty Watercolors” show loaned to TPS by the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. Alberta Palmer was responsible for obtaining the exhibit. Some of the well known watercolorists at that time who participated were: Ben Shahn, Milton Avery, Thomas Hart Benton, Morris Grave, Edward Hopper, John Marin, Reginald Marsh and Andrew Wyeth. There will be more exciting shows to look forward including Martin’s upcoming exhibit, which will run through July 30. – article submitted by Aviva Kahn

of readers. Set on the banks of the mighty Mississippi River, the story has a timeless, small-town charm. Tryon director Marianne Carruth brings this adaptation to life with the youth (ages 8-12) of the community. Adding to the fun of this production will be a foot-stomping musical performance by professional musicians Phil and Gaye Johnson. This will be the sixth year this younger group has done a production in Tryon. For the first time, costume designs for “Tom Sawyer” will be by a Tryon teen, Alexa Hughes. In another first, Tryon teen Sara Seagle will serve as assistant director. Both young women are TLT youth alumni. “Tom Sawyer” will be on the TFAC stage July 28-31. Perfor-
mances are Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m., and 3 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. For ticket information, call 828859-2466 and leave a message or email ticket requests to tryonlittletheater@gmail.com.

Tryon Little Theater and the Tryon Youth Center will present summer youth performances July 7-10 and again July 28-31 on the Tryon Fine Arts Center stage. Director Chris Tinkler and musical director Lena Duncan are in rehearsal for the musical “Pippin,” opening Thursday, July 7 at 8 p.m. for four performances (Sunday’s performance is at 3 p.m.). Performers range in age from 13-21. Follow the young Prince Pippin on his quest to find the secret of true happiness and fulfillment. He searches in the glories of the battlefield, worldly temptations and intrigues of political power. This tongue-in-cheek, anachronistic fairy tale captivated Broadway audiences. The score by three-time Oscarwinning composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz (“Godspell,” “Children of Eden” and the animated films “Pocahontas,” “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” and “The Prince of Egypt”) entertains with everything from ballads to rhythmic dance numbers. One of Mark Twain’s most beloved characters of American fiction comes to the TFAC stage in “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” Mischief abounds, whether he’s sneaking out of Aunt Polly’s house at night to visit the graveyard, conning his pals into whitewashing a fence, grabbing a smooch from Becky Thatcher or facing the murderer Injun Joe, Tom Sawyer’s hijinks have delighted generations
