State funds Polk streambank restoration
Tryon resident Mary Meyers will visit New York during early April to be honored by the New York Metropolitan Opera for the 24 years she sang with the chorus. Since moving to Tryon several years ago, Meyers has become an active member of the local music scene. Most recently, she played Madame Armfeldt in Tryon Little Theater’s production of “A Little Night Music.”
Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:
Walkers who enjoy wandering along the trails on the Adawehi Campus have noticed earthmoving activity along the creek. “Many people who normally travel Hwy. 108,” said Evangelena Barber, “are now driving along Fox Mountain Road to admire the beauty of the creek restoration.” The activity is due to a project that is designed to restore 3,000 linear feet of stream on a major tributary to White Oak Creek between properties owned by the Adawehi Healing Center and the Barber Farm, also known as Tribranch Farm. The major goal of this project is to help improve water quality and aquatic habitat in the Green River Watershed through: • Removing exotic, invasive plant species • Stabilizing failing streambanks (Continued on page 4)

Towns approve joint water agreement by Leah Justice
Water could soon flow to new customers along a shared Howard Gap Road water line, and the towns of Columbus and Tryon and City of Saluda will be able to share water sources. Columbus, Saluda and Tryon
councils held a joint meeting on Tuesday, March 27 and approved an interlocal agreement to operate the joint water line, as well as a pass-through agreement to compensate an entity in the middle of a water transfer. The meeting was brief, with

Computer monitors will be placed in the offices of each party and the operation of the system can be monitored and performed by each. The parties understand, however, that it is imperative that two entities do not attempt to operate the system at the same time.” The agreement designates Tryon as the day-to-day operator of the SCADA system, with

County, since Saluda obtains its water from Hendersonville. Polk County is also currently working on connecting its Mill Spring well system to Columbus, so the towns and county will all soon be able to share water if necessary. The Howard Gap line between Tryon and Saluda was made possible through a $1.73 million grant that the towns shared from the N.C. Rural Center and a $300,000 grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission. Each town is also sharing the financing of $1.43 million obtained from the North Carolina Drinking Water Fund, which is a no-interest loan. The project included the construction of the water line, the construction of an 85,000-gallon water storage tank and the installation of a valve and booster pump to connect Columbus to the Tryon and Saluda systems.

TLT’s ‘Knock, Knock’ in first-ever outdoor rehearsal Techniques for learning lines vary from actor to actor – poring over scripts in the bathroom, listening to audiotapes or doing recitations in the mirror work for some people. But for these two “Knock, Knock” actors (Elvin Clark and Lavin Cuddihee), mowing the lawn, inhaling pollen and escaping yellowjackets seem to do the trick. Being nextdoor neighbors helps, too - you can meet anywhere in the yard to run lines. Time magazine describes “Knock Knock,” by Jules Feiffer, as “a kooky, laugh-saturated miracle play in the absurdist tradition.” Clark and Cuddihee are joined on stage by Nancy Winker, Chris Bar tol and Josh Moffitt; Frances McCain directs. “Knock Knock“ runs April 19-22 and April 26-29 at the Tryon Little Theater’s Workshop. The box office opens April 5. Call 828-8592466 or visit www.tltinfo.org for more information. (photo by Connie Clark)

Young, brave men and women are out in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan; hot, thirsty, sanded down by weather and too many months of service time. In the Christian Calendar, it’s Lent, which traditionally has been associated with the desert, and the desert with austerity, abstinence and, in some traditions, beating up on one’s self. It signifies the time in the life of Jesus when after his baptism he went out into the wilderness for 40 days and was tempted by the devil to use his considerable spiritual power for selfish ends. Lent has natural roots as well as Christian roots. The word “lent” comes from a Latin root meaning “long,” and
it signifies the lengthening of the days in early spring. And, in nature, earliest spring is a time of scarcity. Supplies laid in the fall to carry through the winter are about gone or have rotted like the onions softening and sprouting on your kitchen shelf. Animals are calving or laying eggs. Things are blooming but there is no fruit. In our city world of supermarkets we forget the ancient rhythms of body and soul. In the desert it is easier to remember.

They know emptiness and they know the monotony of waiting for action of all sorts, (Continued on page 13)

Actor Ferrante brings Groucho Marx to next generation Frank Ferrante, award-winning actor, director and playwright, brings the one, the only Groucho Marx to the Veh Stage at Tryon Fine Arts Center on Tuesday, April 3 at 8 p.m. In addition, Mr. Ferrante will conduct a residency with adult and high school students that morning at 10 a.m. at Polk County High School (PCHS). Groucho Marx was a one-ofa-kind force of comedic nature. Everyone knows the moustache and ever-present cigar, but few of today’s generations had the chance to experience his genius live. “Sometimes I think the younger generation appreciates it more than those who remember the great Groucho from his 1950s TV show “You Bet Your Life,” said Ferrante. “The show and the character have an edge. It’s a highly energetic performance, and the Groucho character is wildly fun – saying and doing things none of us could ever get away with. Younger audiences, college students, even children find
this style exhilarating.” Ferrante delivers the classic one-liners and famous songs matching Groucho’s originals with stunning precision, critics have said, but his performance is beyond mere impersonation. Much of the show is an improvised interaction with the audience - just as Groucho himself would have done. Audience members should be ready to be carried away to the earliest days of American television - and maybe pulled up onstage. At PCHS during the Tuesday morning residency, Ferrante will share his more than two decades of experience performing comedy on stage, film and television with an emphasis on improvisation. Currently, Ferrante plies his craft in multiple shows, including “An Evening with Groucho” and the cirque show “Teatro Zinzanni,” in which his act is mostly extemporaneous. During the workshop adult and high school students will be enlisted to perform improv games

Bridge Players Corner by Karl Kachadoorian
Competitive Bidding Competitive bidding requires sound judgment when competing for part scores. The secret of competitive bidding is judging the right time to push, the right time to defend, how high to go and when to double. One of the keys to competitive bidding is to adopt the following approach on the meaning of your doubles; takeout vs. penalty. At low levels, the frequency and usefulness of takeout doubles is more important than penalty doubles. A takeout double doesn’t negate it from being converted to a penalty double. But you should put your emphasis on low level doubles as a convenient vehicle to compete to the level of your means. Remember, that in match points, the frequency of success counts more than the size of the score.

Basic partnership competive strategy should adhere to the following principles: (1) Try not to let the opponents play at the two level when they have an adequate trump fit. (2) Don’t compete past the three level unless you have at least nine trumps or advantageous distribution. (3) When competing for a part score, don’t go to the four level unless the vulnerability is highly favorable and you have a clear picture of your distributional values. Tips on Competitive Bidding (1) Adopt a bidding style where any double at the one or two level of a suit is primarily for takeout. (2) When making a negative double, you should have a suitable distribution to accommodate flexible bidding opportunities.

TV’s ‘Equitrekking’ host ‘impressed by area’s equine tourism’ RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST
of rural Polk County and visited farms, a rehab center, FENCE and Harmon Field as well as area retail businesses. She said she was impressed by Polk County’s trail system and open land, a rare commodity in many communities. “Having had my first riding experiences at camps in the hills near Tryon as a child, the area has a special place in my heart. After my tour, I more fully understand what a special place Tryon is for equestrians and horses,” said
Newman. “What a dream to be able to ride out of your backyard on to miles of trails! There aren’t many places left like that in the U.S., so it’s important to educate the public about the need for preservation.” The results of her western Carolina visit are posted on her website blog at www.equitrekking.com/articles/entry/tryon_ horse_country_tour_in_nc/. - article submitted by Libbie Johnson
Area’s geologic history to be topic at PCHA meeting April 3 On Tuesday, April 3 at 2:30 p.m. at the Polk County Historical Museum in Columbus, Ray Christopher will speak about the geologic history of the North Carolina mountains. Christopher taught geology at both Auburn University and Clemson University and worked as a research geologist for the U.S. government for several years. He received the Award of Excellence for Teaching in the Sciences from Clemson
University in 1999. He said, “Geologic studies of the southern Appalachian Mountains reveal a 1.3 billionyear history that included the collision of continents, violent volcanic eruptions, massive earthquakes and the creation of mountain ranges that challenge the elevation of today’s Himalayas.” All are welcome. – article submitted by Kathy Taft

Darley Newman, host of PBS’s Emmy award-winning show on horseback riding around the world, spoke to an enthusiastic audience on March 21 in Polk County about the making of her television series, now in its sixth year. She also addressed the economic and environmental benefits of equi-tourism to communities. The event was hosted by Polk County Economic and Tourism Development. Newman said in American rural communities, activities that bring in equestrian enthusiasts result in solid tourism dollars that go to local outfitters, restaurants, lodgings and small businesses. Internationally, especially in third world countries, this type of tourism provides a lifeline to residents who have seen other income streams dry up. “I meet and film with local horse businesses throughout the U.S. and world, often in offthe-beaten-path locations. These entrepreneurs that run these small businesses both enjoy and find their livelihoods in introducing travelers to their area through trail rides, equestrian events, horse therapy and farms and museums,” said Newman. “Supporting these local entrepreneurs by traveling to them is a great way to get an intimate look at a destination’s history, nature and culture and support sustainable, eco-friendly tourism that helps rural economies, people and animals.” Newman was treated to a tour
