The Town of Columbus is taking steps to address limited parking downtown for its businesses. Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Oct. 20 and heard from Calvert’s Restaurant owner Randall Calvert who asked the town to help with no parking on his block for customers. The town has battled the parking issue for years with some business owners saying other business employees park in prime spaces all day. The Town of Tryon has discussed the same concerns about employees taking (Continued on page 4)

Eastside chair expresses disappointment over Tryon’s progress on dilapidated housing by Leah Justice
Tryon Eastside Citizen Advisory Committee Chair Warren Carson said he’s disappointed in the progress the town has made ridding the community of dilapidated housing. “I’m disappointed because what I’m hearing is the same song, different verse that I’ve
had to listen to for more than 20 years,” said Carson. Tryon Town Council met Tuesday, Oct. 18 and heard an update on four dilapidated structures in the Eastside community. Tryon Fire Chief and code enforcer Joey Davis said the town held a hearing earlier this month for property owners

Green Creek Fire Dept. reinstates emergency siren Siren to be tested some Saturdays, 1 p.m. by Leah Justice
The Green Creek Volunteer Fire Department has reinstated use of its emergency siren, located on top of the firehouse. The purpose of the system is to alert the public about severe weather and national security threats. The emergency alert system will be activated for system testing the first Saturday of April through September and bi-monthly at 1 p.m. in October through March (non-severe weather months). The siren will be activated through the Green Creek Fire Department. Emergencies when the sys-

up merchant spaces. Columbus had asked business owners to use the spaces in front of Stearns, which Calvert said worked for a while, but employees are now back in the same spots. “It’s kind of choking not only my business, but other businesses,” Calvert said. “It seems like it’s getting further and further out of hand.” Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre said the town does have on the books (in its ordinances) a schedule for limited parking. Columbus used to have 2-hour parking signs, but when the state improved the sidewalks, the signs were taken down and never put back. “I kind of like the idea of limiting (parking) from 9 to 5 or 10 to 5,” McIntyre said. “It would be nice to have something in there for the residents to have parking. We’ve had the same business owner come to us twice and sevjbtrees - page 10
tem will be activated include a tornado warning, meaning a tornado has been visually confirmed and/or a tornado warning has been issued indicating that the southeastern portion of Polk County is in the path of an approaching tornado, or whenever any reported tornado sighting within the Green Creek Township is confirmed, according to the Green Creek Volunteer Fire Department Emergency Warning Activation System Policy. The siren can also be activated in a civil defense situation when any situation occurs defined by the federal government as a threat to national security and the safety of the American public, including an imminent attack and uncontrollable wildfires, according to the policy. eral others came to a meeting.” McIntyre also said there’s virtually no land for a parking lot in the downtown area, so council needs to look at what is the best scenario for the town’s businesses. Other council members seemed to like the idea of bringing back the 2-hour parking signs and limited it to daytime hours to allow residents who live downtown to park there. A suggestion was also made that during the day, residents could use the parking in front of Stearns, with the suggestion that the town could mark some of those spaces specifically for residents. Councilman Michael Gage expressed concern over the costs and time to the police department for enforcing 2-hour parking. Council agreed to have the planning board work on parking regulations and for town manager Jonathan Kanipe to speak with business owners. The town plans to continue discussions regarding parking options during its Nov. 17 meeting.

Epley signs ‘A Passel of Hate’ at The Book Shelf Oct. 28 nificant local events such as the raid at Earle’s Ford on the Pacolet River and the invasion of the area by a Loyalist army commanded by Patrick Ferguson. It also includes in-depth looks at Colonel Ambrose Mills, the Tory commander, and Colonel Andrew Hampton, who commanded the Rutherford County Liberty Men. “We are especially pleased to offer ‘A Passel of Hate’ because of its local significance,” said Alivia Rochester, manager of the Book Shelf. “We are impressed with some of the reviews that the book has received.” Charles Baxley, publisher
of “Southern Campaigns of the American Revolution,” said, “Epley tells the Kings Mountain story better than I have ever read.” “The book is engaging and exciting. Epley’s words bring life to an incredible chapter in American history,” said Rutherfordton’s Robin Lattimore, the 2010 N.C. Historian of the Year. Hendersonville author Jack Prather said, “The real and imagined characters are so rich in detail, the battlefield gore so tough to bear, and the story lines so skillfully drawn that readers will feel immersed in the historical realties and the personal tragedies
and triumphs of numerous heroes and villains from all sides.” “A well-crafted, immersive historical novel, with just the right level of period detail,” wrote the “Kirkus Review.” Carolyn Ward, president of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation said, “Epley’s portrayal of family life in small mountain communities, fierce love and dedication to home and heritage, and the horror and honor that comes with one’s duty to both is sure to delight readers of history, buffs of battle and students of life.” – article submitted by Alivia Rochester

approve ordinances to demolish. Davis said the town heard from one property owner, who told the town to tear the structure down. Miller asked why the town has to wait 90 days before demolishing that structure since the property owner said to tear it down. Town attorney Bailey Nager said the town still has to go through the procedure in order to go on private property unless the property owner deeds the property over to the town. If that were the case, the town could proceed immediately. Town officials say they are going through the appropriate channels with the structures, but Carson and councilman Roy Miller said they don’t feel the Eastside structures have been given the most expedited attention. “If they were anywhere else in town they would have been gone by now,” Miller said. Carson, a former Tryon councilman, used to make frequent presentations to fellow council members showing photographs of dilapidated structures in the neighborhood. “I understand all the process, but what I have not heard a word about is the cost to the residents who have to endure living next to those houses day after day,” Carson said. “On behalf of the citizens of the Eastside I urge you to take another look at this matter and move with as much expedition as you can to give the residents of the Eastside, and

frankly of Tryon, some relief on the number of dilapidated structures. Trust me, it takes away from the quality of life of all Tryonites.” Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said he and Miller have had discussions regarding possibilities for the properties following demolition. Peoples said he and Miller have discussed acquiring the properties and donating them to Habitat for Humanity or someone to build houses to get the properties back on the town’s tax rolls. The town has in the past few years made some progress on demolishing dilapidated structures in the town and its extra territorial jurisdiction (ETJ), but many more remain, particularly in the Eastside community. Davis has said recently the town has also identified six more structures that do not meet the town’s minimum housing code. Carson and Miller for years have urged the town to get rid of the structures for many reasons, including decreased property values for neighbors and the dangers of insects, pests and snakes from the overgrowth. In addition, the structures are often taken over by persons using drugs. A few years ago council decided to create a budget specifically for demolition and has allowed the fire department to burn structures that qualify for training. Approximately four structures have been demolished over the past couple of years, including some in the Eastside neighborhood and a mobile home on Rippy Road in the town’s ETJ.

der and behave ourselves. In every way she was the corporate memory of the Episcopal Church in Tennessee for 30 years. When Bishop Sanders retired in 1991, she retired with him, but she left the clergy of East Tennessee with the command, “Remember whose you are and where you come from.” There is a word for that. It is “anamnesis.” It is based on an ancient Greek word for “memory” and it is the central part of most forms of Christian worship, but most especially in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, or the Lord’s Supper as it is known in most Protestant traditions.

“Remember whose you are and where you come from!” That was always the admonition we newly minted priests would get from our bishop’s secretary, Miss Peggy Crump, upon leaving his office to engage whatever ministry had been given to us. Miss Peggy was the heart and soul of the Diocese of East Tennessee. If no one else knew “it” she did – plus where it was filed, by whom and how long it had been there. As seminarians we lived in fear of her subtle threat, “I would hate to lose your file!” Though made in jest it was a possibility that made us shud-

In our celebrations of the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, or the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper, we re-call and re-present and remember Jesus’ command that we “Do this in remembrance of me.” Anamnesis is the act of remembering whose we are and from where we come. It calls into consciousness the saving acts of God throughout all human history and the culmination of that salvation history in the person of Jesus of Nazareth, whom we know as the anointed one of God – the Christ. In that remembering Jesus Christ is recognized as a “Real Presence” – a concrete and tangible reality among God’s people gathered in his name. In our sacramental and liturgical Christian traditions, that “Real Presence”
is symbolized in the bread and the wine consecrated to “be for us the body and blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” In all traditions it is also re-called in the prayers and praises of the gathered faithful remembering that Jesus said, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20 KJV) When we engage in anamnesis through prayer and worship, the God whose love surpasses all understanding through the redemptive grace of Jesus Christ and the sustenance of the Holy Spirit is at the center, as truly real and present as any one of us. However, since anamnesis is the sharing of memory we cannot do it alone. Anamne-

Native American photography exhibit at TFAC in November Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) presents the award-winning exhibit “The Awakening of Turtle Island: Portraits of Native Americans” the month of November in Gallery I. Photographer Tracey Schmidt, a former resident of Tryon who resides in Asheville, will be on hand for the opening reception on Sunday, Nov. 6 from 4 - 6 p.m. The exhibit is sponsored by the Kirby Endowment Fund. “The Awakening of Turtle Island” won a Regional Designation Award in the Humanities when it opened during the Olympics in Atlanta, 1996. It has toured to more than 17 museums in the southeast, including two showings at the Cherokee Museum of the American Indian. The exhibit includes more than 60 contemporary photographs Schmidt took of native people, half of which will be at TFAC. Each photograph has an extensive text panel created from interviews she conducted with the person in the photograph or one of the spiritual elders from their tribe. At the age of 19, Schmidt traveled to Japan to live in a Buddhist monastery, where her spiritual practices awakened a desire to return to America
in search of a tradition that was as authentic and indigenous in America as Buddhism had been for her in Japan. “The Awakening of Turtle Island” mirrors that search and represents, for her, a way to share with America what she found among Native American culture. Her search also resulted in documentary film and video work with the production of “Voices in the Wind,” a PBS docu-drama about Native Americans. During the month of November, Schmidt will give a gallery talk to students as part of TFAC’s “Arts in Education” series. The opening reception on Sunday, Nov. 6 from 4 - 6 p.m. is free to the public. Native American flutist Bob Child will provide music to complement the photographs. For more information, call TFAC at 828-859-8322. – article submitted by Beth Child Right: Photographs by Tracey Schmidt representing southeast tribes will be on display at TFAC the month of November.

Polk County Sheriff offers tips for a safe Halloween Soon area streets will be filled with little ghosts, goblins and witches trick-or-treating this Halloween. “Halloween should be filled with surprise and enjoyment, and following some commonsense practices can keep events safer and more fun,” said Sheriff Donald Hill of Polk County. The sheriff reminds all Polk County residents to follow these safety tips: Motorists • Watch for children darting out from between parked cars, walking on roadways, medians and curbs. • Enter and exit driveways and alleys carefully. • At twilight and later in the evening, watch for children in dark clothing. Parents • Make sure an adult or an older responsible youth will supervise the outing for children under age 12. • Check the sex offender registry at www.ncdoj.gov when plan-
ning your child’s trick-or-treat route. You can view maps that pinpoint registered offenders’ addresses in your neighborhood and sign up to get email alerts when an offender moves nearby. • Plan and discuss the route trick-or-treaters intend to follow. Know the names of older children’s companions. • Make sure older kids trickor-treat in a group. • Instruct your children to travel only in familiar areas and along an established route. • Teach your children to stop only at houses or apartment buildings that are well-lit and never to enter a stranger’s home. • Establish a return time. • Tell your youngsters not to eat any treat until they return home. • Review all appropriate trickor-treat safety precautions, including pedestrian/traffic safety rules. • All children need to know their home telephone number and how to call 911 in case of emergency.
• Pin a slip of paper with the child’s name, address and telephone number inside a pocket in case the youngster gets separated from the group. Face design • Do not use masks as they can obstruct a child’s vision. Use facial make-up instead. • When buying special Halloween makeup, check for packages containing ingredients that are labeled “Made with U.S. Approved Color Additives,” “Laboratory Tested,” “Meets Federal Standards for Cosmetics” or “Non-Toxic.” Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for application. • If masks are worn, they should have nose and mouth openings and large eye holes. Accessories • Knives, swords and other accessories should be made from cardboard or flexible materials. Do not allow children to carry sharp objects. • Carrying flashlights with fresh batteries will help children see bet-
ter and be seen more clearly. While trick-or-treating • Do not enter homes or apartments without adult supervision. • Walk on sidewalks, not in the street. • Walk on the left side of the road, facing traffic if there are no sidewalks. Treats • Give children an early meal before going out. • Insist that treats be brought home for inspection before anything is eaten. • Wash fruit and slice it into small pieces. • Throw away any candy that is unwrapped or partially wrapped, or has a strange odor, color or texture. “Halloween is a fun time in Polk County,” Sheriff Hill said, “But let’s make it a safe time as well. The major dangers are not from witches or spirits but rather from falls and pedestrian/ car crashes. “ – article submitted by Sheriff Donald Hill

Columbus police conduct red light/stop sign enforcement blitz Because of numerous recent complaints from citizens, the Columbus Police Department is conducting an enforcement campaign on red light and stop sign violations in the town, specifically in residential areas. This enforcement campaign will run from Oct. 24 through Nov. 6, to coincide with the North Carolina Governor’s Highway safety program’s Halloween “Booze It & Lose It” campaign. The “Booze It & Lose It” campaign will run from Oct. 28 - 31. Failing to stop at red lights and stop signs is a leading cause of motor vehicle collisions as well as injury or death to pedestrians, Columbus police officials said. Each year in the United States, drivers running red lights results in nearly 200,000 crashes, more than 800 deaths and 180,000 injuries. With Halloween approaching, it is especially important to be diligent at red lights and stop signs, Columbus police officials said. Many children will be trickor-treating and often fail to look before crossing the roadway. Remember, a rolling stop is not a stop. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration recommends stopping for three seconds, looking both ways and ahead if applicable, before proceeding through a stop sign. At red lights, the yellow light is not an indication to speed up and beat the light. The few seconds you might save by trying to beat the light is not worth the life you may cost. While you are celebrating the Halloween season with friends, the Columbus Police Department urges you to do so safely. If you are going to a party, please choose a designated driver for your return home. No other criminal offense is responsible for as many deaths and injuries or as much property damage than driving while impaired, police officials said. In fact, according to officials, impaired drivers injure or kill a person every minute in the United States. North Carolina ranks seventh in the nation for DWI-related deaths, and 31 percent of N.C.’s fatal crashes were determined to be alcohol related. – article submitted by Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield

Sloan Hawkins Ward, 87, of Laurel Lake Dr., Tryon Estates,
From our editor: In my extended family of 19 cousins and almost 30 second cousins, there can be a real fight in the kitchen over grandma's chocolate pies at Christmas. So my mother made a point of always whipping up our own batch of chocolate heaven at home. Ours was No Bake Cookies; an eewy gooey mixture of peanut butter, chocolate and oatmeal. I can't wait to make those same cookies with my children one day. Tell us your favorite family recipes and the story behind them.
No Bake Cookies 1 3/4 cups white sugar 1/2 cup milk 1/2 cup butter 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder 1/2 cup crunchy peanut butter 3 cups quick-cooking oats 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa. Bring to a boil, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in peanut butter, oats, and vanilla. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let cool until hardened.
CALLING ALL FOODIES... the Tryon Daily Bulletin is seeking recipes for our annual Holiday Gift Guide! Does grandma make a pie that you and your uncles fight over? Does your family make tacos instead of turkey for Christmas? We’re seeking recipes from community members that love to share food with others. Mail them to 16 N.

Those three, on our roof?” Emilie Ducotel (Carol Cox) has just been told by her husband they’re perfectly safe from the convicts repairing their roof since the three aren’t thieves, they’re murderers.

White Oak benefit for Harris Friday adds car wash In addition to the benefit lunch for Janice Harris Friday, Oct. 28 at White Oak of Tryon, there will be a car wash. White Oak employee Steven Whiteside has gathered his car-washing crew and will begin washing cars at 9 a.m., weather permitting. The car wash will take place in the front driveway of White Oak and everyone is welcome. Whiteside said, “One of the things I like about working at White Oak is we take care of
our own. It seems that every time something like this happens to one of our employees, everyone is asking what they can do to help.” Whiteside is not only washing cars but he’s doing it on his day off. All donations from the car wash will be given to Harris who is undergoing cancer treatment and is in need of assistance with expenses. – article submitted by Beth Romney

Primarily using large flat brushes, Sterling focuses on the design of the subject and the patterns of light and dark as the foundation for his painting.
