Murphys plan monumental trip to Middle East by Samantha Hurst

Religious and cultural conflict seems to dominate the news in relation to the Middle East. But clashes in that region have not detoured Dr. Jim Murphy and wife, Lisa, from plans to travel there once again this coming spring. Dr. Murphy, a retired pastor, has traveled to the Middle East 19 times and said he has a passion for sharing the region with others. “There’s a draw there – so many new things are going on all of the time in the way of archaeology and culture,” he said. “To go through all of the bazaars and things is fascinating to me; to see the culture and see it evolve.” The Murphys have led mul(Continued on page 3)

The program, presented by Rema Keen of Crescent Growers in Campobello, is entitled “Native Plants.” The presentation will include information about medicinal uses as well as interesting folklore and history.

tiple sightseeing tours to 22 countries around the world – many through Europe, Asia and the Middle East. They said this particular trip, however, holds a special significance to them and many of those who have booked their space already. The travelers will leave the United States April 30, with their first stop in Tel Aviv. From there they will travel through Caesarea and Mt. Tabor, on their way to the Beatitudes, Dan, Capernaum and across the Sea of Galilee. They will then make their way to Nazareth, Jerico, Jerusalem and to the Dead Sea. Along the way, travelers will experience extremes, from the changes in culture to the changes in altitude. Jerusalem to the Dead Sea is just 16 miles, but in that short (Continued on page 4)

distance the elevation drops from 2,500 feet to 1,400 feet below sea level. “When you read ‘Jesus went down to Jerico,’ Jesus really went down to Jerico,” Lisa Murphy said. Within the Old City of Jerusalem you also see the segmented quarters for Christians, Muslims, Jews and Armenians. “Talk about seeing diversity in a 2-and-a-half-mile walk,” Lisa Murphy said. “I don’t know of any place in the world where you have such a richness, this sign of so many religions of the world.” Ancient history pervades this trip as well. At Masada, near the southern most tip of the Dead Sea, there is a mountain fortress where 960 Jewish people barricaded themselves against the Romans. Murphy explained the Jews were later discovered dead from mass suicide because they said they would rather die free than live enslaved. “We want to get as much information to those traveling as we can,” Murphy said. “There is just so much to see and take in from the ancient history to what is happening right now.” Murphy said there remains a strong focus on archaeology in the area, with many artifacts still being uncovered. Murphy said he wants to show

people the history of the area and its cultures. He also wants to show them what he said is the real Muslim culture. “One percent of the Muslim population are extremist,” he said. “The other 99 percent are just peaceful, family-loving people like you and me.” He said traveling to the Middle East – Jerusalem in particular – is actually very safe. “Tourism is one of Jerusalem’s biggest industries, so they keep the tourists safe,” Murphy said to the constant question he receives about the safety of traveling to the Middle East. He also said English is spoken commonly and the American dollar accepted rather widely. Murphy has visited 22 different countries as side trips, having first started his world travels in 1967. “Not many people had gone to the Holy Land at that time,” Murphy said. “So, there was a big desire to have those who had visited the area to go and speak at churches about their experiences. I’ve given hundreds of talks since then.” The trip lasts 11 days, from April 30 to May 10. On the way back to the States, the group also plans to make a stop in Istanbul. To learn more about the trip planned for next spring, you can contact the Murphys at 828-8940104.

• Rotary donates (continued from page 1)

The Rotary Club of Tryon presented the check, which will be put solely toward stocking the shelves of TES’ library. Williams, who led TES for a total of 20 years as principal, said there was no greater way to expand a child’s capability for learning. “Ever since I stepped foot in a classroom they preached to me about individualization, and the best way to individualize education is to put a book in the hand of a child,” Williams said. “You all have just put a book in the hands of many children.” Librarian Kathy Wheaton said the donation would make a tremendous impact on the TES library collection. “It is a wonderful gift,” Wheaton said. “He [Williams] was a huge advocate of science and so we are going to make a special collection, housed separately in Mr. Williams’ honor, that focuses strictly on

particular subject matter would be a tremendous boost for the TES library, as science books tend to be more expensive than your average library book. She said it is unlikely any one book

would cost less than $25. In attendance in Mr. Williams’ honor were four TES students. Second grader Ge(Continued on page 6)

New strength training class for boys at Foothills Gymnastics Foothills Gymnastics Academy is now offering a new class for boys, “Boys, strength and conditioning training.” This class is designed for boys to gain speed and endurance to help them excel at all sports. They do strength training by climbing ropes, pull ups on the uneven parallel bars and spider man walks as examples of a few exercises they do. They work on conditioning on the tumble track, as well as playing various games aimed at improving speed. Organizers said the class helps boys gain flexibility, stamina, and improving their balance. A few spots are still available and classes are held Wednesdays from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. and will run the entire school year. Call 828-859-5151 for more information. - article submitted

Behind The Blue Door at the Mill Spring Agricultural Center So you’ve been to the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center and you enjoyed the tour. Maybe you flashed back memories of old classroom scenes. Maybe you enjoyed the food. But have you entered from downstairs through The Blue Door? Dot Pearce, a stained glass artist, recently hosted her open house and welcomed the public to her studio behind The Blue Door from the ground floor of

the center. Pearce requested this special space and renovated it to house the large-scale mosaics she creates. Pearce’s work requires a lot of space. She dreams big. After all, she builds walls. That’s right, mosaic walls. Having worked in the medium of stained glass for more than 35 years, she said, “I am now claiming my niche as a mosaic artist, specializing in donor

walls and memory walls.” said Pearce, “came the opA donor wall commemorates portunity to design and create a project.

WHERE WE WORK An in-depth look at an area business

PERSON FEATURED: Dan Steiner BUSINESS: Dan Steiner Painting & Pressure Washing ADDRESS: 136 Woody Circle, Tryon PHONE NUMBER: 828-894-6183 or 828-817-0539 PRINCIPAL OWNER: Dan Steiner, owner/operator OPERATING HOURS: 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. or whatever the customer needs EMAIL: dans@windstream.net YEAR FOUNDED: July 4, 1999 PRIOR LOCATIONS: Co-owner of S&S Painting in Ohio, 1978-1996 NATURE OF BUSINESS: Preparation and painting, pressure washing, minor wood repair and replacement, roof repair, gutter cleaning and window washing. NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES: Usually three, although I have had up to five, including myself. HOW’S BUSINESS? Business is great, especially when you love what you do. I pay attention to detail and enjoy doing a careful prep job that ensures the quality of the paint job and how long it will last. I have been blessed with good repeat customers and a favorable word of mouth reputation. The winter months are usually a little slower, and I really appreciate the interior jobs then. However, there are only a few weeks when we cannot actually work outdoors because of the local climate, which warms up most days above a safe painting temperature for latex paint. Business overall is good, with good people and wonderful locations. ONE THING YOU WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT YOUR

BUSINESS: That we really care about our work, that we offer interior and exterior painting and pressure washing and that our pricing is fair. SOMETHING YOU OFFER THAT A CUSTOMER WON’T FIND ELSEWHERE: We use only quality products. For painting we use 90 percent Ben Moore products from Williamson’s Paint in Landrum. For pressure washing, we use only cleaners that are plant and animal safe. We respect you and your property. I have more than 27 years of experience and my brother, Chuck Steiner, has more than 21 years of experience. ADVICE TO YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS: Suit up, show up and do what you say you are going to do for a fair price.

MY FIRST JOB: The United States Navy. I served four years on active duty and two years inactive. I learned a lot about paints in the Navy. I would encourage any young person to join. YOUR ROLE MODEL (IN BUSINESS OR IN LIFE GENERALLY): People who are close to me who have inspired me include my stepfather, Terry Recker. I could count the days of work he has missed over 30 years on one hand. Another inspiration has been my father, Mel Steiner.

THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS: Communication. Make sure customers know exactly what you are to do on a job and then make sure you do a little something extra for them. Always be fair.

Tryon fire chief one of 787 Chief Fire Officers worldwide by Leah Justice

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis recently completed the process that awards him the professional designation of Chief Fire Officer (CFO). The Commission on Professional Credentialing (CPC) gave Davis the official designation on Aug. 23. Davis was recognized by Tryon Town Council and received a standing ovation during council’s meeting Tuesday, Oct. 18. “There’s only 787 [CFOs] in the world,” said Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree. “I think that says a lot for a town and a department our size to have a leader that is credentialed through this organization.” The process of gaining CFO designation includes an assessment of the applicant’s education, professional development, technical competencies, contributions

to the profession and community involvement. Applicants are also required to identify a future development plan. “Chief Davis has a rich knowledge of the emergency services profession and has far surpassed critical core competencies for personnel serving in senior fire officer positions,” stated a press release from The Commission on Professional Credentialing, an entity of the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE). Davis was hired as Tryon’s fire chief in 2007. A native of Shelby, he holds a bachelor of arts degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a master’s degree in public administration from Columbia Southern University (CSU). He is currently pursuing his doctorate in business administration from CSU.

PAC hike to visit Pisgah National Forest Oct. 28 Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) will host a 5-mile hike at Pisgah National Forest, the third hike of PAC’s fall hiking series. PAC Land Protection Specialist Pam Torlina will lead hikers to John Rock. The hike is a strenuous loop with a total ascent of approximately 1,000 feet. The trailhead is accessed from the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education and Fish Hatchery. The highlight of this hike is John Rock, a large granite dome that offers views of the fish hatchery, Looking Glass Rock and Pilot Mountain. The Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education and Fish Hatchery, operated by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC), was originally the site of a logging community and then a Civilian Conservation Corps camp during the Great Depression. The theme at the Center for Wildlife Education is “Mountain Streams: Where Water and Life

Begin.” The center conducts statewide environmental education programs for educators and youth leaders and offers informative exhibits that focus on wildlife conservation, geology, unique N.C. habitats, preservation of streams and wetlands, the ecology of wetlands and ways to get involved in wildlife conservation. T h e c e n t e r ’s theme is in line with the work conducted From left to right: Carolyn Parker, Mark McCall, Carol McCall, Patsy Panther, Barbara at the fish hatchery.
