• School buses (continued from page 1)
amounts to the state being able to buy buses like it used to when it had funds appropriated through the general assembly and only having to pay for them in full over the course of four years,” said Polk County Superintendent Bill Miller. Miller said this scenario is better than what had been proposed, which was to move the responsibility of purchasing buses for school systems from the state to counties. What it also means though is that every school system or LEA (Local Education Agency) would have to sign a contract as if they were buying the buses themselves, but rely on the state to make the lease payment every year. Miller said the rules say that if the state doesn’t allot the money promised, the school systems won’t be responsible for the bill. What could happen, Miller said,
is that the company from which the buses will be purchased could pick those buses back up, if the state doesn’t send in the financing. “In our case we’re going to get five buses and that’s a big deal to us because that’s a third of our buses,” Miller said. “I don’t think we’re in a position to turn down five buses, especially when they are $80,000 a piece. If you think about it, I don’t think the state is going to risk the embarrassment of having buses repossessed all across the state.” Miller said this plan however only catches the state up on the needed buses for last year and this year. It doesn’t solve the problem of replacing buses that will need to be cycled out next year. “Buses are on a continual cycle – buying them never goes away,” he said. “I don’t see how this is going to be a good thing long-term, but we’ve got to have buses.”

Presentation on flora, landscapes of southern mountain region March 24 The Pacolet Area Conservancy and Walnut Creek Preserve invite the community to an informational presentation about “The Flora and Landscapes of the Southern Mountain Region” on Saturday, March 24 at 10 a.m. to be held at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve. Botanist David Campbell of the University of North Carolina—Charlotte (UNCC) Herbarium will present a digital slide show of the plants and landscapes of the area, including a few shots of fauna. Campbell said he is interested in studying the flora in Polk County and hopes to gather data and create herbarium specimens
for the UNCC Herbarium. Polk County is poorly represented in the state herbarium, he said; no new data for the county has been added in nearly 50 years. During his quest, he said he hopes to relocate several rare plants of historic importance that have been documented in the area. Time and weather permitting, there may also be an interpretive woodland walk around the grounds of Walnut Creek Preserve after the presentation for those that may be interested; dress appropriately. Children and adults are welcome and there is no charge for the event. To get to Walnut Creek Preserve’s Nature Center from the
Tryon and Columbus area, take Hwy. 108E and turn left on to Hwy. 9N toward Lake Lure. Follow Hwy. 9 for 5 miles and turn right onto McGuinn Road (at the Exxon station). Go one mile to the intersection with Big Level Road; turn left, go two tenths of a mile and take the first right onto Aden Green Road. Follow Aden Green for four tenths of a mile and turn left on Herbarium Lane and into Walnut Creek Preserve. Take the first left onto Conservatory Lane, which takes you to the parking area for the nature center. For more information or directions from another location, please contact the Pacolet Area
David Campbell will present a digital slide show of “The Flora and Landscapes of the Southern M o u n t a i n R e g i o n .” ( p h o t o submitted by Pam Torlina)

New tennis club opening behind Giardini Trattoria Open house set for Saturday, April 14 Tucked behind the organic gardens of Giardini Trattoria are two brand-new soft tennis courts. These Har-Tru courts are the new home of the Giuseppe Matteo Tennis Club, and memberships are now being offered to the general public. Joe Laudisio, the owner and a longtime teaching pro, will be joined by another well-known pro, Jim Greene. Together they will offer group and individual lessons, clinics, social events and helping to organize league play. A free open house for the new club will be held on Saturday, April 14 from 2:30 - 5:30 p.m. Players of all ages and all abilities are welcomed. There will be opportunities to hit with the pros, plus mini clinics throughout the afternoon. It’s a great opportunity to come and see the club and to get a feel for the courts, said Greene. “These are really beautiful courts,” Greene said. “They have a wonderfully true bounce and they play extremely well. Plus, the wooded setting and the mountains in the background create a really special atmosphere.” The courts were professionally constructed by Whalen Tennis Construction, a company in Asheville that also built the courts for Duke University and hundreds of clubs and schools all over the southeast. After the clinics, participants will be able to enjoy a woodfired pizza buffet in the garden pavilion by the courts.

Laudisio and his wife, Mary Lyth, are the owners of Giardini Trattoria, but in a “former” life Laudisio was a teaching pro for many years. In 1986, Laudisio first trained at Van der Meer Tennis Academy in Hilton Head, S.C., one of the premier facilities in the country for training professional tennis teachers. Personally mentored by the legendary coach Dennis Ven der Meer, Laudisio has been playing USTA competitive tennis, as well as coaching USTA teams, for more than 20 years. “I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to coach once again,” says Laudisio. “The restaurant takes a lot of my time, but with these beautiful courts in my own backyard, tennis can once again become a focal point of my day.” Greene, who lives just outside Tryon, started playing at age 8,
and since then tennis has been a lifelong passion. He also trained at Van der Meer Tennis University and has been a certified teaching professional since 1996. He has worked under the tutelage of Paul Scarpa, men’s head coach at Furman University, recognized as “the winningest coach in NCAA history.” Serving as assistant director at Furman Tennis Camps in Greenville, S.C., Greene is presently the instructor for Furman University’s OLLE tennis programs. Throughout his career as head coach or head pro, Greene strives to provide quality and retainable instruction for all skill levels. “I promote process over outcome,” said Greene. “This style challenges my players to grow and learn each time they walk out on the court, no matter what level they might be playing at.” The Giuseppe Matteo Ten-
nis Club has several different membership opportunities. There are charter memberships with unlimited play, out-of-town memberships and pay-as-you-play memberships, as well as the ability to take individual lessons. The club will have the convenience of an innovative online reservation system so individuals can sign up for their own court time. “The ease and convenience of organizing a small business through Internet services these days is truly revolutionary,” said Laudisio. For more information, email JoeTns@aol.com or call 828817-4939. Laudisio and Greene request that you call to register to attend the free open house so they are able to organize the afternoon activities for everyone’s optimum benefit. - article submitted by Mary Lyth

Funway to be rocked by recycled outfits at annual Trashion Show

Scout Harmon at last years Trashion Show. (photo by Leah Justice) by Samantha Hurst
Think those Starburst wrappers or Doritos bags are just trash? With a bit of neon duck tape or some good folding skills those vibrantly colored items could be transformed into a garment of at least comical fashion appeal. Organizers of Tryon’s Trashion Show encourage you to put your fashion design skills to the test by creating a one-of-a-kind outfit from recycled materials. The annual Trashion Show, in conjunction with Tryon’s April Fool’s Festival, will be held Saturday, March 31 at 4 p.m. Contestants and interested audiences are encouraged to come to the Tryon Depot Plaza for this unique fashion show. Throughout the day of the festival community members can even stop by a booth hosted by the Tryon Daily Bulletin to craft garments onsite from recycled newspaper and few other items
that will be supplied. Come with your imaginations or prepare your outfit in advance. Categories include pets, infants – 12 years of age, 13-30 years old and 21 and up. There will be a small entry fee per outfit but all proceeds will be donated to the Foothills Humane Society. Judging will be based upon percentage of outfit that is recycled, repurposed, reused and or found material, creativity, originality and craftsmanship. Each outfit requires a model to walk the ‘funway.’ Prizes will be provided by Bonnie Brae, Thompson Landscape Professionals, Mobile Veterinary Services and Tryon House. Pre-registration will be appreciated. For more information, contact Erin Thompson at 828-817-1032 or by email at erintthompson@ gmail.com or Mary Prioleau at 828-899-9699 or by email at marywprileau@yahoo.com.
