Gently tilting his white rocking chair back and forth, Tryon Estates’ resident John Albree relishes what’s left of the summer breeze as truck beds brimming with peaches come rolling steadily by him on their way to the shed at Strawberry Hill. “My wife and I absolutely love strawberries and peaches,” Albree said. “We found out about Strawberry Hill years ago and immediately loved it. Their product is so good and they are just honest people.” Albree and his wife, Phyllis, began visiting the Chesnee, S.C. farm seven years ago. Since then, Albree’s become a regular face around the farm and friend of the Cooley family that owns it. “I’m here every Tuesday (Continued on page 3)

Polk recreation to create new master plan Survey, meetings planned to get input by Leah Justice
The Polk County Recreation Advisory Board has begun the task of creating a new recreation master plan that is expected to
recommend recreation improve-
ments in the area for the next 10 years. The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Monday, July 11 with Polk County Recreation Advisory Board Chairman Jim Patterson regarding the master plan.
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
Patterson said the plan will be developed based on area residents’ ideas of what is needed in terms of recreation between now and 2021. Residents’ opinions will be gathered through community meetings and a survey. (Continued on page 4)

to pick up baskets of peaches for my friends at Tryon Estates and the staff there,” Albree said. “This year I have brought back to Tryon Estates more than 30 gallons.” Albree purchases his share of the succulent fruit packed into classic woven baskets with variety names like Red Havens, Jersey Queen and Autumn Flame. James Cooley runs Strawberry Hill USA from his forklift, while his eldest daughter, vice-president Brandi Cooley-Easler, offers tours to school and community groups. “It’s in our blood, and I guess it’s just what I was born to do,” CooleyEasler said. “It’s such a great feeling to see the results of what you do every day.” The Cooley family’s farm yields 1,000 acres of peaches each year. Perry Edmund Cooley, Brandi’s great-grandfather, purchased the land in the early 1900s to farm cotton. He later offered the property to his son Gene Cooley. Gene, with his father’s help, planted 2,000 peach trees that
year. His brother, Ansel joined him in running the farm in the mid-1950s and later the family-property was passed down to James, his wife, Kathi, and their four daughters. Cooley-Easler said she and her family cherish the ability to share their love of the farm and fruits with others. “We want people to come and enjoy themselves and feel the freshness of the farm,” Cooley-Easler said. “Farms are not as common as they used to be, so more people want to see it firsthand. We grow our own stuff and we care about how it tastes.” The Cooleys even set up tasting stands where straight-from-theorchard-slices can be enjoyed before selecting a certain variety to purchase. This family farm also boasts 90 acres of strawberries – the largest strawberry farm in South Carolina – and 100 acres of blackberries. Under the shed roof, customers can also grab bags of nectarines, corn and tomatoes, among other produce. The family also operates Strawberry Hill Café, where visitors can purchase breakfast or lunch and homemade ice cream.

Two more arrested in Pill Sweep by Leah Justice
Two Polk County residents have been arrested in a recent Polk County Sheriff’s Office undercover operation called Operation Pill Sweep. Dennis Martin, of 1182 John Shehan Road, Tryon was arrested and charged with selling/delivering a schedule IV controlled substance, according to sheriff’s office reports. Tracy Martin, of the same address, was also charged with selling/ delivering a schedule IV controlled substance and maintaining a vehicle/dwelling/place for a controlled substance, according to sheriff’s office reports. All charges are felonies. Arrests for Operation Pill Sweep began in May following a nine-month undercover operation in which sheriff’s officers estimate they purchased approximately 2,000 illegal prescription pills. The sheriff’s office originally had warrants for more than
20 individuals, mostly from within Polk County, as well as others from area counties. The sheriff’s office was assisted by the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), as well as the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office, the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office and the U.S. Veterans Affairs Office in the undercover operation. Most of the arrests over the past few months have been on charges related to illegal prescription pills, but some charges have involved other illegal substances, including cocaine, marijuana, opium and heroin. In addition, some suspects have been charged with child abuse for illegal drug transactions being made in the presence of children. Tracy Martin was released from jail on a written promise to appear. Dennis Martin received a $2,000 bond, according to police records.

Columbus works to keep citizens better informed
Columbus officials took a proactive step recently to improve communication with the town’s residents. The newly contracted CodeRED notification system will allow town manager Jonathan Kanipe to issue alerts to specifically targeted areas of the city in situations such as water main breaks or weather emergencies. Why do we think this is a positive step? In a faster-paced world, where individuals are always seeking out information through sources such as Twitter and Facebook, it’s time for cities to discover new ways to connect with citizens as well. People need a variety of ways to stay informed and connected to things taking place in their communities, and even more so, in their very neighborhoods. Have you ever woken up first thing in the morning with no water to brew a cup of coffee, take a shower or brush your teeth? It would be beneficial in those situations to know what is going on. In more urgent scenarios, such as a multiple car wreck blocking traffic on Hwy. 108 or a serious fire breaking out in a row of shops in downtown Columbus, emergency officials would have a new means of communicating to residents the need to drive through areas with caution. Tryon’s communications department stays on top of the information scramble with a Twitter feed under the name “TryComm.” On this feed you can keep up with traffic accidents, water line breaks and even recorded temperatures - 104 degrees on Tuesday. Many schools, including those in Polk County, have already taken the lead in such efforts as well by sending text messages to parents when roads are too icy for buses to run or when bad weather is emminent. Kudos to the town of Columbus for also working to be innovative in the way it communicates with its residents. — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Letter to the Editor
Kudos to Tryon
To the Editor: It is now July 7, 2011, and most of the summer crowd has gone back to their homes in various parts of the United States. First, I believe they would want to thank you for the lawless, unregulated free recreation venue you so graciously provide 24/7. It was great to have a threeday weekend with wonderful weather. The visitors love your water reservoir, as they are not encumbered with any silly rules regarding alcohol, drugs, urination, defecation, noise, pollution, public safety or water safety protocols. I personally want to thank you Tryon for the peace and quiet that resulted from the weekend celebration of our nation’s independence. I am no longer disturbed in the early morning hours by silly songbirds, which always seemed so happy to experience the start of a new day. And, I am no longer disturbed by the rustling sounds of birds nesting in my dogwoods and rhododendrons when I take my nighttime walk with my dog. The three-day bombardment of firecrackers and fireworks may have had something to do with their displacement or disorientation. The ducks on the reservoir also want to thank you. They especially enjoy the new sport that has evolved over the past few years. I call it “Dodge a Duck.” This game involves a kid on a jet
Letter to the Editor
Tryon Little Theater should reduce prices
To the Editor: Congratulations to another fantastic Tryon Little Theater Youth Production, “Pippin.” I’ve heard that it was ‘fantastic’ and a “must see.” Unfortunately, we did not go to see it, due to the cost of the tickets. For a family with four children (up to the age of 18) and
ski targeting a family of ducks. At this time the surviving ducks are still staying very close to the shorelines and the safety of overhanging branches and docks. Thank you, Tryon town government. From your water customers, as now, our drinks have been “topped-off” with 21st century urine, feces, petroleum distillates, battery decomposites, fireworks residue (from China) and other human and animal waste products. Not to worry, though, we know that you, the town, are protecting us with the latest in 1950s water testing protocols. December 2011 will mark the 30th anniversary of the purchase of the reservoir bottom (135 acres) by the town of Tryon. If the town were an individual, and had exhibited the same 30-year period of silence and withdrawal of responsibility of land ownership and neighborliness, psychoclinicians would probably have classified the person as someone with a severe mental disorder. For example, my neighbors brought to the town’s attention last year the game of terrorizing the ducks. The town’s reaction was the usual wall of silence. A further example of neighborly indifference and willful negligence is the fact that in the 30-year period, the town has not recognized a need to stage an emergency response watercraft on the shore of their 135-acre water amusement park. Kudos to all involved. – Michael Verbonic, Lake Lanier two adults, it would have cost them $80 to go see the play… for a children’s production. In these tough economic times, TLT should have really thought about their ticket prices. The people in the area that I spoke with were not going to see the play due to the cost of the tickets ($20 for adults, $10 for students). Wouldn’t the TLT rather have sold out each performance with lower ticket prices, than have empty seats throughout the theater? That’s just my opinion. – Karen Brunjes, Tryon

Featuring three choreographers and dancers from well-respected companies across the country, “Creation of Dance” will provide an up-close and personal look at what dance is all about, while encouraging audience participation with question and answer sessions. Nick Kepley, one of the featured choreographers, has brought his newly established New York City dance company, MOTION Dance+Theatre, to Asheville this month for a threeweek residency. Performing at TFAC allows the dancers a chance to rehearse these new movements in front of an audience in an intimate space wellsuited for dance. Kepley started MOTION last summer as a choreographic
laboratory. “You don’t get to practice the art of choreography very often,” Kepley said. “Artists can make hundreds of sketches before they create a masterpiece. Writers go through hundreds of edits and drafts. But the art of making dances needs time, space and talent, all of which come at a price.” The benefits of MOTION are not exclusive to the choreographers. Kepley explains that many dancers often feel trapped in a box by their directors, who see them day after day and begin to categorize them and limit their repertory, based on what they think their strengths and weaknesses are. He said that MOTION gives them a chance to push themselves in new ways and discover new sides of their artistry. “We’re interested in furthering the art of dance, encouraging artists to propel dance into the 21st century,” Kepley said. “The only

way to do this is by fostering the creative talent of the future, both creatively and monetarily.” The performance will take place at 7 p.m. For tickets and

Networking session on fiber economy of WNC Mountain BizWorks Ag-Biz Program and HandMade in America team up to host FiberTalk. All interested fiber producers, fiber artists and fiber processor are encouraged to attend this brainstorming-networking session on July 19, at the Agriculture Economic Development Center, 156 School Rd, Mill Spring, from 6-8pm. This is a potluck event so please bring your favorite dish. Fiber-folk are fiber producers, fiber artists and fiber processes. Fiber producers can be anyone who has animals and produces fiber products as well as all agricultural people that grow fiber products. Fiber artists are all the people working with fiber of any kind. This includes most artists and crafters working with fiber in any way. Fiber processors are all the people who process fiber. At the June Meeting, Judi
Jetson, director of creative economies for HandMade in America, presented a lively discussion about growing the fiber economy in Western North Carolina (WNC). Of the many topics discussed, the following topics were of particular interest to attendees: Appalachian Fiber Branding that will advocate for wearing and making garments from the local fibershed (150 mile radius), the development of Polk County and the surrounding area as a fiber cluster in the Appalachian fibershed, fiber entrepreneurship and fiber tours that support local fibe artists. At the July 19 meeting, June Ellen Bradley will facilitate the group through a series of conversations designed to give community members the opportunity to express their views on how they would like to see a local fiber cluster designed. The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. with
breaking bread and networking. Judi Jetson will then present a mini presentation about HandMade in America that includes HandMade in America’s vision for how the Appalachian Fiber Shed Branding Project will affect the local fiber comunity. Bradley will lead the group through a discussion that will provide attendees the opportunity to help shape the direction that the local fiber project will proceed. The conversation will also include dialogue about how a versatile shared leadership of a local fiber group can help shape the way it will interact with the entire Appalachian fiber shed. Mountain Bizworks Ag-Biz objective is to help connect the fiber community in Polk County to the resourses that HandMade in America offers. “As part of the Ag-Biz Program,” said Jo Ann Miksa-
Blackwell, Ag-Biz program manager, “We support the mission of HandMade in America and the connection fiber has to agriculture. It is our goal to make sure the animal and plant producers of fiber have a seat at this table and a voice in the future of the fiber arts in WNC.” HandMade in America, a non-profit economic development group based in Asheville, has started an initiative to grow the regional fiber economy by focusing on craft artists and small businesses. For more information, contact Miksa-Blackwell at 828919-1000. This Ag-Biz project is supported by the Beginning Farmer and Rancher Development Program of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, USDA, Grant # 201049400-21817. - article submitted by Jo Ann Miksa-Blackwell

Nelson oil painting portrait. (photo submitted)
Nelson oil painting class Richard Christian Nelson will teach an oil painting workshop focusing on the portrait this summer at the Tryon Fine Arts Center, July 25 to 29, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. The workshop is structured to hone the solid principles and time-honored skills required for the complex process of painting people. In response to many suggestions and results in Nelson’s June still life workshop, he is opening the class to young artists who are serious about learning to paint. Nelson has also had a number of folks interested in studying charcoal portraiture with him. Nelson is a professional portrait and gallery artist, and
he and his wife, Kim, own Skyuka Fine Art, a new gallery in Tryon. Rich enjoys learning and growing with other artists. “I’m especially excited about working with young folks this summer. I’ve done short classes with them over the last five years at Tryon Arts And Crafts, and the way they buckle down to learn is really impressive,” Nelson said. Once someone has the basic principles, the rest is practicing the process over and over, which is natural if they’re enjoying it.” Visit www.RichardChristianNelson.com or call 828-8590318 for details. -article submitted by Richard Christian Nelson

TJ Fincher and dad, Trey Fincher, celebrate Father’s Day at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, N.E. (photo submitted)
Fincher attends Baseball Factory’s Omaha National World Series TJ Fincher, 16 year old son of Trey and Missy Fincher, was recently invited and attended the Baseball Factory’s Omaha National World Series in Omaha, Neb. This week- long event was sponsored by Under Amour. Fincher attended a try-out at the West End Fluor Field, home of the Greenville Drive. He was selected to attend this training/ tournament week during the College World Series. Fincher, along with 71 young men from across the country, were treated like college baseball players and competed for the tournament championship. His team consisted of players from North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Florida, Texas, Maryland, Louisiana and California. The team, Patriots, made it to the championship game and lost in the final inning. Fincher played second base, centerfield and even pitched to earn a save. He finished the tournament with no errors and batted .550 with 2 doubles. The young men stayed in college suites at Iowa Western Community College. They played on their turf field, a triple A ballpark, “Werner Field,” and various high schools. When not playing games, the players trained in all aspects of baseball, including a college recruiting seminar and strength and agility drills.
Fincher’s coach was Mike Murray, a former catcher at Florida University and Florida Atlantic University. He also played in the San Diego Padres organization. Other coaches were CJ Lee, a former professional player with the Atlanta Braves; Marc Rardin, head coach of Iowa Western, where he took his team to win the 2010 National Championship; and strength and conditioning coach for players with the N.Y. Yankees, Colorado Rockies and Baltimore Orioles, Alex Martinez. The players were also treated to a College World Series Game at the new TD Ameritrade Park. Fincher was fortunate to watch his favorite college team, the South Carolina Gamecocks, play and win against Texas A&M. After his tournament, Fincher visited Rosenblatt Stadium (former home of the College World Series) and the South Carolina game against Virginia. Fincher was evaluated all week during training and games and will be informed of his strengths and weaknesses. He will also have a web page created for him to help with the recruiting process. Fincher said, “I’ve learned more about baseball in one week then I ever have before. I love training and playing here.” - article submitted by Missy Fincher
