Grant widens support for new Pavillon patient admissions center Pavillon Treatment Center in Mill Spring announced July 25 that it has been awarded a $50,000 grant from The Cannon Foundation in support of a new Patient Admissions Welcome Center. “Being able to dedicate more space to the needs of our patients is ultimately what this is all about,” said Anne Vance, CEO of Pavillon. “For those supporting this effort, it truly is an opportunity to enhance the quality of treatment given to those suffering from the disease of addiction, which is quite often a person’s friends, family members and co-workers.” The new center will house patient admissions and intake counseling, family intervention and administrative support services while alleviating serious overcrowding in the existing facility. The new 6,700-square-foot facility is currently under construction on Pavillon’s existing 141-acre campus. Along with other funding sources, including corporate and individual donors, campaign fundraising activities and other foundation contributions, the grant will help complete the project. Scheduled for completion in September, the executive, administrative and admissions functions will then relocate to the new facility. This will free approximately 4,000 square feet of space for renovations to accommodate a new medical detoxification unit, updated clinical treatment areas and address patient treatment needs. Since opening in 1996 as a non-profit residential center for the treatment and recovery of addiction, Pavillon has housed all patient and administrative services under one roof. An ever-increasing patient census, along with corresponding growth in staff, has resulted in serious overcrowding and a growing concern for patient and family privacy. Thus the new Patient Admissions Welcome Center is part of

the broader Giving Back, Going Forward Capital Campaign. While operating revenues supply a portion of the funds for
construction of the center, philanthropy such as represented by the grant from The Cannon Foundation, plays a major role,

Open mike fills Melrose Inn porch with creativity by Samantha Hurst
The talented fingers of songwriter Jim “Brown” Anderson strum across guitar strings as guests at the Melrose Inn in Tryon retire to the porch to leisurely sip tea and wine. Anderson’s guitar picking welcomes visitors to the Melrose Inn for Open Mike Night every first and third Tuesday of the month. “It’s relaxed, non-judgmental, supportive and fun,” Anderson said. “If you’re not a writer, but you’ve got entertaining life stories
to tell, spend a little time honing them and come share. Virtually every Tryonite could do that. If not, just come listen and enjoy some front porch entertainment.” Anderson recently picked through a lively song called “Hummingbird” and sang a haunting murder ballad called “Green River.” In between songs, visitors and Anderson conversed about whether his lyrics come first or the music. They discussed what listeners would call his music and what songs they connected to personally.

Richard Baker Studio celebrates anniversary with new look The Richard Baker Studio, located at 163 N. Trade St., celebrated its first anniversary in Tryon’s downtown district July 30-31 in tandem with the Tryon Gallery Trot and Art Trek Tryon events. In anticipation, the studio gallery has recently undergone major interior renovations, including gallery lighting and hanging systems and other decorative appointments, with light exterior landscaping upgrades as well. Baker’s fulltime presence in Tryon, and its arts community, involved a seeming epic life journey, including having successfully rebounded from
medical procedures leaving him with three stints and five aortic bypasses a mere year and a half ago. When questioned about his quick immersion into the local Tryon arts scene, he countered, “Art is my life, drive and passion. It is who I am.” For those yet unacquainted with Baker’s work, his canvases depict the people, places and objects that he encounters daily in the Carolina Foothills. For further information about the studio, call 828-2341616 or visit www.richardbakerstudio.com. – article submitted by Crys Armbrust
