NCDOT has informed the Town of Tryon that a contractor will be raising manholes and water valve boxes flush with the new asphalt on the roads that were resurfaced in and around Tryon recently. This work is supposed to begin on Aug. 31, but is subject to change. NCDOT does not have a time frame on completion of this work, but said it will involve temporary lane closures.
The Town of Tryon should soon know how much additional water will be acquired from its mountain water source. The long-awaited work on the town’s intakes for its mountain water source was completed last week. Testing for the source at the town’s newly updated water plant off Carolina Drive is scheduled for later this week to determine how much water can be acquired. Last week’s work on the intakes was the final stage of the town’s water plant rehabilitation project, which has been ongoing for over two years. The town financed approximately $3 million (Continued on page 3)
Study: North Carolina 11th worst in nation for family food hardship TBOM says community keeps local families fed by Samantha Hurst
North Carolina is among the nation’s worst states when it comes to a family’s ability to put food on the table, according to a report released earlier
this month by the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC). The FRAC report ranked North Carolina 11th worst, with 28.5 percent of families with children saying they ran out of money to buy food at least once last year.

In “Around the Region” in the Friday, Aug. 26 Bulletin, the item on page 20 about Milliken should not have been included. It was based on a 2009 article accidentally posted as a new item on the Rock Hill, S.C., Herald website. “We regret any anxiety caused to our associates by this erroneous report. We have been informed the story regarding a Milliken layoff came from a previous announcement made back in 2009 that was still floating around in cyberspace. The worldwide web can be a great source of information, but it can also distort the facts, left unchecked, as in this case,” said Richard Dillard, director of public affairs for Milliken.

for the project. Part of the rehabilitation was to give the town a water source in addition to Lake Lanier. The rehab will enable the town to soon use its former mountain water source, which is gravity fed and should save the town money in pumping costs. “We will be doing testing of the water either Wednesday or Thursday of this week,” said water plant supervisor Betty Jones. Jones said the plan is for the town to have three options in water sources. The town can use only Lake Lanier water, only mountain water or a combination of the two sources. Jones said estimates are that the mountain water source will give the town almost 600,000 additional gallons of water per day, but the exact pressure and flow will not be known until the testing is complete. Town officials have estimated the source
will yield 400 gallons per minute. During the town’s last council meeting, held on Aug. 16, councilman Austin Chapman expressed concern over delays in the intake work. The water plant rehab has been 99 percent complete since last year; work on the intakes on Fork and Colt creeks has been awaiting heavy rains for sedimentation. The original project was scheduled to take one year, between April 2009 and April 2010. Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree told council on Aug. 16 that contractors were waiting for a rain system to be predicted in order for the water to have sedimentation. Hembree said last week when the intakes were checked, there was enough sedimentation to go ahead and complete the work. In April of this year, Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples expressed frustration that other delays were costing the town money because (Continued on page 4)

of having to pump out of Lake Lanier. At one point the project was delayed as a result of the Tryon Garden Club’s concern over silt; the club owns the easement to the town’s property on which the intakes are located. Other delays occurred this spring because of trout spawning season, when the work could not be completed. The water plant on Carolina Drive was completely renovated, with the addition of an outdoor building completed last year. Work to the water plant included renovating the old water plant building into offices, with the downstairs of the old building converted into the chemical plant. The upgrades have also included replacing eight chemical feed pumps and fixing the old water plant roof, among other work.

C - filler 8/25-8/29 The town’s water plant first went online in 1988. The rehabilitation project was required for the plant to meet current state guidelines. Prior to 1988, mountain water was Tryon’s only water source, but the town abandoned the mountain water when it constructed the water plant and began using water from Lake Lanier. The town owns the bed of Lake Lanier and has jurisdiction over the water. Following a drought in 2003, when the town had to impose mandatory water restrictions, officials decided while the town was upgrading the water plant, it should also make changes that would allow mountain water to be available as a water source. The turbidity of Lake Lanier and the mountain water is different, so different processing is necessary to combine the two sources.

this story.” As of the end of July, TBOM saw 1,440 families – more than 3,700 people represented within those families. Out of the 1,440, the ministry has seen 149 new clients needing assistance for the year so far since January. “The longer it takes for the economy to recover the need grows,” Eller said. “Food and hunger is still an issue…. Particularly in Polk County I think you see that quite a bit because there is not a lot of industry [where people can] go and find a job.” He said at this time one of the greatest needs is for giving to continue through TBOM’s unrestricted fund so the organization can cover all the needs of its clients. Eller said he wants people to understand they don’t have to donate $100 to give; they can send whatever they can and TBOM will make the money stretch.

Happy Labor Day
Labor Day is a Federal holiday observed on the first Monday of September, and it celebrates the accomplishments of American workers, both past and present. The efforts of these workers have helped to form the United States of America as we know it today. The holiday is a day of rest, family gathering time, and the last day of summer to many. All schools are closed on this day, as well as all Federal and state offices, banks and many private businesses. In June of 1894, Congress officially made the holiday the first Monday of September. The origin of Labor Day is not completely clear. There are many theories regarding who first celebrated the holiday. The Knights of Labor, a labor union that was formed in 1869, decided to hold a parade in New York City on September 5, 1882, to honor its members and all other laborers. The parade was such a success that another was held in 1884, and since then, it has become an annual event. Some believe that the origin of Labor Day came from a man by the name of Peter McGuire. McGuire was a member of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, as well as a member of the American Federation of Labor. Others believe that the holiday was suggested by a man named Matthew Maguire.

Wolverine football brutalizes Brevard Blue Devils 38-6 by Daniel Hecht
During the course of any football season, it is a given that there will be good weeks and bad weeks – and for the Polk County football program, last week will be remembered as a tough one indeed. Last Wednesday, the Wolverine nation lost a beloved member of the family as Nate Philpott, father of Coach Todd Philpott, passed away at the age of 63. A day later, during Thursday’s walk-through, Nate’s grandson Alec Philpott separated his shoul-

were all business, and as usual, business was good, as sophomore QB Reece Schlabach led Polk to a decisive 38-6 victory over the Blue Devils. “My teammates were there for me the whole time, and that really helped my confidence,” said Schlabach, adding, “I couldn’t have done any of it without our line – they did an incredible job.” “You’re very pleased when your second team quarterback can come in and lead your team (Continued on page 11)

to victory after an injury to your starter,” commented Ollis. “That was very gratifying as a head football coach.” The Wolverines scored on their first possession, as senior Cary Littlejohn sprinted 92 yards for a touchdown early in the opening quarter, en route to 139 yards on the night. After a Blue Devil fumble was recovered, Schlabach ran it in from 4 yards out to make it 16-0 Polk at the end of the first period. The Wolverine defense got in on the scoring in the second quarter, as DB Deion Twitty picked off a pass from Blue Devil quarterback Tre Pope and returned it 15 yards for Polk’s third touchdown of the game. Littlejohn closed out the first half scoring for Polk, dashing 14 yards into the end zone to give Polk the 32-0 lead going into the intermission. Twitty, who went on to intercept two more passes on the night, credits his defensive line for setting up the scoring pick. “I saw Jacob (Painter) get in the quarterback’s face, and he just threw the ball up, and I just read it,” said the senior defensive back, who has nine tackles already this season. “Deion’s just got a nose for the football,” commented Ollis, adding, “He is a very instinctive

defensive back.” The Wolverines notched their final touchdown of the game with 3:06 left in the third as Joel Booker punched it in from 8 yards out to make it 38-0 Polk.

Landrum wins on the road against Traveler’s Rest 28-14 by Joey Millwood
Winning games on the road can be tough in football. Landrum, however, traveled to Traveler’s Rest on Friday night, Aug. 26, and did just that, picking up a 28-14 victory. The win was far from perfect, as the Cardinals had to overcome four first half turnovers, but the win was revealing. “We came out with a victory and we were able to see some things to improve our team for next week,” Landrum

An evening with mountain storyteller Gary Carden Sept. 6 The public is invited to spend an evening with mountain storyteller Gary Carden at Isothermal Community College’s Polk Campus in Columbus Tuesday, Sept. 6 from 7 - 9 p.m. The award-winning author and playwright will take his audience back to the small mountain town of Sylva, N.C., as it was in the 1940s. As a child, Carden awoke each morning to the mournful wail of the tannery whistle, a long “WOOOOOOOOO” that lingered in the coves and hollers of Jackson County for several moments. Unlike most of Carden’s plays, the tales he will tell are largely autobiographical. Born, raised and educated in the Southern Appalachian Mountains of western North Carolina, Carden describes some of the notewor-
thy events and characters of his youth, including how he worried his grandparents, who raised him, by entertaining himself preaching to the chickens and acting out stories. Meet the man of whom New York Times bestselling author Ron Rash says, “Gary Carden is one of Appalachia’s greatest treasures. No one I know understands the culture better; add to this Carden’s storytelling ability and you have an artist of the first order.” Those who arrive early, from 6:30 p.m, will be treated to video clips of two of Carden’s one-man plays, “The Prince of Dark Corners” and “Nance Dude.” The event is free and open to the public. For more information, call 828-894-3092. – article submitted by Kate Barkschat
