First St. Luke’s/Blood Connection blood drive held Jan. 5 Mary Duncan finishes giving her pint of blood with help from Susan Simpson of The Blood Connection at a blood drive held Thursday, Jan. 5 at St. Luke’s Hospital. About 35 area residents had given blood by about 3:30 p.m. last Thursday. Organizers said the turnout was good considering it was the first blood drive done with The Blood Connection. St. Luke’s recently announced a new contract with The Blood Connection, an Upstate, S.C. provider for blood products. Improved pricing, distribution, collection, tracking and customer service were some of the reasons St. Luke’s cited for contracting with The Blood Connection. (photo by Leah Justice)

ECO 2012 sustainability workshops THE PEG SUS GROUP
Keep up with events in your home town Subscribe to the Bulletin
ECO, the Environmental and Conservation Organization’s Green Energy and Sustainability Committee, has announced its sustainability workshops for the first half of 2012. The workshops are designed to help local residents use environmentally sound methods to live better lives and develop closer connections to their world. ECO organizers said each workshop will be taught by a trained specialist. The sustainability programs will begin on Thursday, Jan. 26 with a forum featuring owners of green homes who took part in ECO’s Green Home Tour over the last few years. They will talk about their successes and challenges, expectations and changes as they set out to build environmentally friendly homes. This forum will be held in the conference room at the ECO Office, 121 Third Avenue West, Hendersonville, N.C. Upcoming workshops include: • Feb. 21, 6:30 p.m.: Raising Rabbits for the Home or Business. Rock Harty of Harty Farms in Madison County will teach a workshop on raising rabbits, from breeding stock to housing, feeding, breeding, processing, packaging and sales. • March 6 - 6:30 p.m.: Creating a Backyard or Neighbor-
hood Orchard. Chuck Marsh, a permaculture landscape expert, will discuss how to turn your backyard or a neighborhood spot into a thriving fruit and nut tree orchard. Issues covered will include siting of the trees, cultural strategies, companion plants and animals, optimizing nutrition and much more. Advance registrants will also be able to order fruit trees that will be delivered at the time of the workshop. • April 21- 10 a.m.: Wild Plant Walk. Local naturalist Michele Skeele will lead a walk in the woods identifying local plants that are suitable for eating. • May: Composting Workshop (date/time TBA). Rather than dumping food waste, put it to work in your garden to grow your own food creating a closed loop. Join a panel of experts to learn the latest ways to create garden independence without reliance on harmful and damaging chemicals in your yard. Pre-registration for all workshops is required as class size is limited. To register for any of the workshops, get directions or for more information, please contact ECO at (828) 692-0385 or email ECO at eco@eco-wnc.org. – article submitted by David Weintraub
Public hearing on Lee Nuclear Plant Some local residents are planning to attend a public hearing scheduled in Gaffney, S.C. on Thursday, Jan. 19 at 7 p.m. about the proposed Lee Nuclear Plant on the Broad River. At that public hearing, the public is invited to submit oral and written comments to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) about the proposed plant. According to Ellen Thomas of Tryon, Lee Nuclear Plant’s two reactors would use 47 million gallons of water per day with 75 percent loss through evaporation. The NRC calls the Broad River “small” and climate changes suggest possible droughts, she said. Shutdowns could happen because
of lack of water for cooling, she said. The hearing will be held at Restoration Church International, 1905 North Limestone Street, Gaffney, S.C. 29340. Those who want to speak at the public hearing will need to sign up 15 minutes before the meeting or reserve a spot in advance by contacting Sarah Lopas at 800368-5642 ext. 1147 or sarah. lopas@nrc.gov by Jan. 17. If you would like to carpool to the hearing, or for further information, contact Ellen Thomas, P.O. Box 26, Tryon, N.C. 28782, 828859-8325, et@prop1.org. – article submitted by Ellen Thomas

HomeTrust Bank announces plan of conversion HomeTrust Bank announced the adoption of a plan of conversion whereby HomeTrust Bank will convert from a mutual to stock bank. Tryon Federal Bank, Rutherford County Bank, HomeTrust Partner Banks will also participate in the plan. The board will form a holding company, HomeTrust Bancshares Inc., to offer for sale shares of common stock to depositors and certain borrowers of HomeTrust Bank and its partner banks and others in a subscription and community offering. HomeTrust Bank’s chairman and CEO, Ed Broadwell, said after diligent study and consideration the board concluded that raising capital and increasing operating flexibility was a prudent and advisable step to strongly position the unique banking partnership for the future. Also, improving the banking company’s capital position during the continuing period of significant economic uncertainty makes good business sense. “The stock offering will allow us to support future internal
growth through increased lending and growing deposits. It will also provide us with additional financial resources and operating flexibility to add new community bank partners in Western North Carolina and the North Carolina Piedmont,” Broadwell said. “We have had the privilege of serving Tryon and Columbus for more than 75 years, where we have focused on building long-term relationships with our employees, our customers and our communities,” commented Jerry Johnson, Tryon and Rutherford County president. “Personal service is part of our culture and a way of doing business that we will continue as a stock institution. Now more than ever customers want a local bank where they know your name and truly care about serving your financial needs.” While the stock will be offered to the communities of all the partner banks, members will have a priority right to purchase the stock, including a first priority right for depositors as of Nov. 30, 2010. It is anticipated that the conversion
