New business could mean boom for local economy by Samantha Hurst
A handful of new businesses have popped up in recent weeks around Polk County and the Upstate, boosting optimism in community leaders thirsty to see a boom for the local economy. “It’s putting more investment into the area,” said Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree. “Getting more people to come into town and spend money here will generate additional tax revenue down the road.” A Better Deal, Brother Bill’s Barbecue, Ferrullo Fine Art and One Scoop at a Time have all opened in recent months in Tryon. Other towns have seen new names and merchandise filling their storefront windows as well. The restaurant Blue Gypsy opened in Saluda in late September, while Buy Way and Flex Fit(Continued on page 6)

Polk recommends extending deer hunting season two weeks Hunters could have two more weeks to hunt for deer in Polk County next year. County commissioners have recommended extending the deer season until Dec. 24. The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Monday, Oct. 3 and approved a resolution asking the state to
change Polk’s hunting season classification from conservative to moderate. The change would make Polk’s gun season the same as that in Rutherford and Cleveland counties, which means gun season would end Dec. 24 instead

Corrections/Clarifications The article about Polk soccer on page 30 of the Friday, Oct. 7 Bulletin incorrectly stated that the first goal of the evening was scored by Jordan Brown. The goal was actually made on a header by John Modlin. A linesman thought Brown headed it after Modlin but the ref eventually determined Brown had not touched the ball.

WESTERN DEER SEASON

of Dec. 10. The change would have to be approved by the North Carolina Wildlife Commission and could not be official until next year’s hunting season. Polk County Commissioner Ted Owens recommended the change, saying Polk County has “plenty of deer.” Owens said in Polk County, you’re lucky if you don’t get hit by a deer, and as he understands it there are approximately 15,000 accidents annually in North Carolina as a result of deer collisions. Polk is currently in the same classification for deer hunting season as Mitchell, Avery, Caldwell, McDowell and Burke counties, which Owens said he doesn’t understand when he looks at the map (see box right). He said it would make more sense to be like neighboring Rutherford (Continued on page 4)

or Henderson county. Rutherford and Cleveland are classified as moderate season, while Henderson, Transylvania, Buncombe, Haywood and Madison counties are classified as introductory season, with a small portion on the Buncombe/Henderson border in the maximum season. The county’s meeting room was packed with local hunters, and a few of them made comments. Former Wildlife Resource Officer John Blanton said Polk County had 905 deer checked in by hunters last year and that number does not include deer taken by motor vehicles or deprivation permits. Rickie McFalls said he’d like the county to sign off and let people have longer to hunt, “because my insurance is going to keep going up if my wife keeps hitting deer.” Rob McComas said many Polk residents refer to deer as a nuisance because they eat shrubs and flowers. He also mentioned disease caused by overpopulation. He said Polk County is known as the place to hunt by hunters in other parts of the state and those hunters stay in hotels, eat in restaurants and get gasoline here. “The only risk is a decrease in the deer population and I think
that is highly unlikely,” McComas said. “Most deer hunters want to see deer, so they are not going to go out and try to deplete the population.” The western deer season, including all classifications, allows archery hunting beginning Sept. 12, 2011 to Oct. 1 and Oct. 17 Nov. 19. Muzzleloader season is Oct. 3 - 15 and gun season runs Nov. 21 - Dec. 10. If Polk County changes to a moderate season like Rutherford and Cleveland counties, either sex of deer can be taken from Nov. 21 - 26 and from Dec. 19 - 24. Currently, hunters in Polk County can only kill either sex from Dec. 5 - 10. Bucks can be killed by hunters during the entire season. Bow hunters can kill either sex during archery season, but must abide by gun hunter rules during gun hunting season. Commissioners approved the resolution unanimously and said they would send the recommendation to the N.C. Wildlife Resource Commission as well as Rep. David Guice and Sen. Tom Apodaca. The county also briefly discussed a new law concerning hunting only with written permission on private land. State law now requires hunters receive written permission from private land-owners to hunt on their land if the property is posted or boundaries marked with purple paint.

ness Center opened this summer in Columbus. A new owner also recently purchased the former Peruvian Cowboy in Columbus with plans to open a restaurant later this year. Whether they are driven by necessity, grabbing opportunity or in pursuit of a lifelong ambition, these entrepreneurs said they are willing to take the risk of opening up shop in a sluggish economy. “It was a dream I’ve always had – opening my own business – I figure if I can make it in a tough economy then I can make it in just about any economy,” said Brian Ross, owner of the Foothills Gun Gallery expected to open later this month in Columbus.

That’s good news for Brother Bill’s Barbecue owner Bill Larnder. Larnder just reopened his barbecue restaurant after about a year’s hiatus from the business. He said he just couldn’t stay away from something he’d longed to do all his life. With handcrafted tables from wooden wire spools and personal memorabilia throughout the place, Lardner hopes people will get a special vibe when they sit down for a meal. “I’ve been around campfire barbeque my whole life and have been working since I was 14,” Larnder said. “When my father passed away I basically had to decide whether to move (Continued on page 7)

Tom Vitomski, environmental services supervisor, and David Bivens, volunteer, place recycling bins throughout St. Luke’s Hospital. (photo submitted)
St. Luke’s is going greener When a group of St. Luke’s Hospital employees met to discuss the importance and logistics of a hospital-wide recycling program, they were pleasantly surprised to learn they are already on the path to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Approximately 35 percent of the paper used in the hospital is recycled. Spent batteries and empty ink cartridges are recycled. Ballasts and fluorescent bulbs are recycled. Cardboard boxes are recycled and numerous aluminum
cans are diverted from the landfill. St. Luke’s Hospital is heading farther down the path to recycling. To make efforts easy for staff, volunteers and visitors, 12 recycle bins have been purchased and placed throughout St. Luke’s Hospital. In addition, Polk County’s mobile recycling center will be parked on the hospital campus bi-monthly to make it convenient for staff and nearby neighbors to bring recyclables from home. – article submitted by Jennifer Wilson

TFAC receives three grants
Polk County Library Ad Shell Tyron Daily Bulletin 3 ¾” wide x 5” high
Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) recently received notification of three grant awards, one from the North Carolina Arts Council (NCAC) and two from the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF). An “Arts and Audiences” grant from the NCAC was awarded for the March 10, 2012 main stage show in which the famed Washington, D.C., string quintet QuinTango will play an entire evening of tango music, accompanied by two championship dancers. A tango class will be offered on stage immediately following the performance. An “Explore the Arts” program on March 1 will explore the tango in depth. The purpose of this grant is to expand audiences by exposing them to a certain branch of the arts while including activities around a particular performance. TFAC will present the “Do-ItYourself Messiah” on Thursday, Dec. 1 with the help of a Kirby Civic Events grant from PCCF. Being able to sing is not a requirement for participating in this evening,
in which the audience and soloists will join in a performance of selections from Handel’s “Messiah.” The PCCF has awarded TFAC a grant from the Unrestricted Fund to help TFAC build a database to keep track of everyone who uses the center and for what purpose. TFAC officials said the database will enable the center to be more efficient and accurate, which will improve their customer service and relationships with all who use the center. The grant also provides for a new and improved website that will be clear and easy to navigate. TFAC said its goal is to reach out to new and diverse audiences and to make sure the arts center is building relationships for the future to ensure the arts remain alive and relevant in the community. TFAC said it could not do this without the help of these two important funders. TFAC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bringing the arts to people of all ages through a variety of experiences. – article submitted by Beth Child
