Tryon concerned about state’s new water shortage response plan by Leah Justice
Tryon Town Council expressed concern last week over the state’s recommended update to its water shortage response plan. Council members met Tuesday, Aug. 16 and discussed the new regulations. All council members said they see problems with the new method.
The new restrictions on water use during times of drought would require water customers to reduce percentages of water use depending on the stage of drought. The state’s proposed plan says when the town is in stage 1, voluntary (Continued on page 6)

• New studio (continued from page 1)
Born in West Virginia, Pat Ferullo spent most of her childhood in Daytona Beach, Fla., where she studied art with local fine artists. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in art from Florida State University, she studied at the Instituto in San Miguel, Mexico. She later studied with artists with the abstract expressionists movement. Dom Ferullo was born in New Jersey and studied at Rutgers and the University of South Carolina, working with artists in the field of sculpture, painting and drawing. Influenced by abstract expressionists as well, he developed his own signature style and creative energy. The couple met in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., where Pat’s studio, just off Las Olas Boulevard, was a hub for classes in drawing, painting, live model open studios and many gatherings of local artists.
Moving to Saluda in 1987, the creative couple built their rustic home on a ridge overlooking Brushy Ridge and Hogback Mountain. Dom, a member of the Southern Highlands Craft Guild, made original mountain furniture from trees on the property and created award-winning mixed media/ collage in his studio. Pat did drafting and rendering for Holland Brady, Architect, for about six years before returning to her studio to create awardwinning painting and drawing work exhibited throughout the United States. In addition to making art, the couple grew their own fruits and vegetables in a large organic garden and orchard and kept bees for honey. “Dom and I both receive our inspiration from nature, interpreted through a visceral connection with the natural world, and expressed in our personal choice of media,” said Pat Ferullo, adding (Continued on page 4)

that they have had a wonderful life living in harmony with nature. While in Saluda, they joined Tryon Painters and Sculptors and served on the board of the Upstairs Gallery. They decided to relocate to be closer to the art community in Tryon in 2000 and moved to a home on Warrior Drive that had separate work studios and a brightly lit area where they conducted workshops and classes in drawing, painting, and mixed media. About five years later, they sold everything and moved to a small fishing village on the coast of Southern Italy. “For about two years, we enjoyed the beautiful Tyrrhenian Sea and wonderful food, while we painted sunsets and made new friends,” says Ferullo. Returning to Tryon three years ago, they bought a small cottage in downtown Tryon with a large, walkout basement that they
converted into their own working studios. Just last year, they remodeled and divided the large walk-in basement studio into two separate studios, separated by a 20’x20’ classroom/gallery, thus creating a classroom space to offer their workshops that is separate from the studios so as not to disrupt their own work in progress. The classroom space also easily converts to an intimate and inviting gallery by arranging tables and sculpture stands as needed. “For now, we are displaying our own paintings, sculpture and mixed media works. Our plan is to hold exhibitions of other artists’ work as well as inviting others to hold workshops,” said Ferullo. Pat currently leads an ongoing weekly class in expressive watercolor every Thursday from 2 - 4 p.m., followed by an open studio from 4 - 5 p.m. for those who would like to paint in a well-lit, creative atmosphere with critique and advice if desired. They also plan to open their

Danny Dale Gosnell
Campobello man charged with firstdegree murder by Samantha Hurst
Buncombe County Sheriff’s deputies and Asheville police officers Aug. 17 arrested Campobello resident Danny Dale Gosnell, 40, on murder charges in relation to the death of Brenda Kay Shelton Roberts Williams of Alexander, N.C. Gosnell was charged with first-degree murder after police tracked him down on I-240 in the Asheville, N.C., area and took him into custody. Williams, 42, met Gosnell online several months ago through the site Plentyoffish. com, according to police reports. The two had been dating though Williams had apparently tried to break the relationship off before Gosnell reportedly drove to her home and shot her just before 8 a.m. on the morning of Aug. 17, according to the Buncombe County Sheriff’s Office.

According to the federal drought map released Tuesday, Aug. 23, Polk County is now in the “moderate drought” categor y (above), along with much of Spar tanburg and Greenville counties in South Carolina (right). Sections of Western North Carolina are “abnormally dry.”
• Water shortage (continued from page 6)
County’s drought classification was D1, moderate drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor of North Carolina. The drought monitor is updated every week (see maps above). According to the state’s draft water shortage response plan, under current conditions, Tryon’s water customers would be under voluntary reductions and be asked to reduce their normal use by five percent. For stage 1 drought conditions, the new state plan would say, “Customer education and outreach programs will encourage water conservation and efficiency
measures including: • Irrigating landscapes a maximum of one inch per week; • Preventing water waste, runoff and watering impervious surfaces; • Watering plants deeply to encourage root growth; • Washing only full loads in clothes and dishwashers; • Using spring-loaded nozzles on garden hoses; and • Identifying and repairing all water leaks.” “[The state’s recommended guidelines just encourage] people to drill wells,” said councilman Doug Arbogast regarding the state’s suggested plan. “At some point it becomes cheaper to drill a well.”

Bright’s Creek to introduce new lower-cost cottage product Sept. 9; other family-oriented changes planned by Barbara Tilly
Bright’s Creek development in Mill Spring, which was purchased recently by the husband and wife team of Alexander Salgado and Gabrielle Barragan of Protex Investment Group Inc., has some changes planned. According to Frank Weed, CEO of Bright’s Creek, the changes the development is making are in response to changing markets. “The market today is more interested in a family-oriented atmosphere and amenities geared to kids as well as adults,” Weed said. The developers also see a market for a smaller, less expensive home option that still offers a full range of amenities, Weed said. To address that market, he said, Bright’s Creek will introduce a new cottage product on Sept. 9. The initial offering in the new line will be 12 ridge-top homes of 1,500 – 2,000 square feet, with prices in the $400,000 - $500,000 range. One of the new plans designed to appeal to families is the construction of a swim club center, expected to open around Memorial Day of 2012. Play areas for children, summer camps, fishing contests and other family-oriented facilities and programs are also planned. For the convenience of resi-

Bright’s Creek also recently announced that it will not be a host golf course for the BMW Charity Pro-Am Tournament next spring.

PAC completes Pacolet Valley scenic byway study The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) recently completed a federally-funded Natural Resource Protection & Appreciation Comprehensive Study Report for the Pacolet Valley Scenic Byway, Highway 176, between Tryon and Saluda. The result of 14 months’ intensive study, PAC’s 138-page report
noted, “The goal of this study is to determine how best to maximize the visual, emotional – and to some – spiritual natural resource experience afforded the Pacolet River Byway traveler.” The scientific focal point of the overall study is a biological com(Continued on page 15)
“The Pacolet Valley Byway gives the traveler the impression of a private, non-intrusive drive through a natural resource living museum. The byway area is its own ecosystem with trees, plants, water, wildlife, fish and birds coexisting because they are virtually undisturbed.” -- PAC study report for Pacolet Valley Scenic Byway
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship to hold service Sept. 11 The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will have its first service of the fall on Sunday, Sept. 11, at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 at 10:30 a.m. The speaker will be Pamela Meyer Crissey of Mill Spring and her topic will be “Church and Science: The Great Pendulum Swing.” “Many unbelievable events occur throughout the world every day, such as walking on hot coals
without being burned, controlling body temperature through meditation and people healing themselves through the placebo effect,” Crissey said. “These events are witnessed by many but still disbelieved by the scientific community. How could this be when science is supposed to be at the forefront of discovery? What holds them back?” Originally it was the church that forced science to concentrate on the
physical aspects of life. Ironically it is again the church that is pushing scientists to look at the supernatural realm. Crissey will explore how science and the church can meet in the middle, support the emergence of new discoveries and propel us into a future world where polarity is no longer an option but where community and oneness prevail. Crissey has been a publisher of
metaphysical books since 1991. She is currently a minister with the Alliance of Divine Love organization. She became a chartered herbalist with the Dominion Herbal College in 2005 and she is a practitioner of plant spirit medicine. Come early for fellowship and refreshments.

prehensive baseline assessment which details the plants and wildlife coexisting along this peaceful stretch of country road. The overall purpose of the baseline is to have a record of habitats, species and waterways that are vital to the total natural resource experience along the valley stretch of the Pacolet Byway. By knowing what exists there today, the conservancy can make recommendations and plans for future preservation efforts. The Pacolet Valley Byway corridor runs relatively parallel to the Pacolet River. Two of the significant natural properties along the byway corridor include PACowned Wilder Forest and the Tryon Garden Club’s Pearson’s Falls. The study states, “The Pacolet Valley Byway gives the traveler the impression of a private, nonintrusive drive through a natural resource living museum.
