Recent heavy rains bring Polk out of drought for first time since October 2011 by Leah Justice
Recent heavy rains have brought Polk County officially out of any drought classification for the first time since October 2011, according to the North
Carolina Drought Management Council, which monitors drought levels across the state. Polk County has received 7.45 inches of rain so far in May. Most of that – 4.61 inches – came on

Benefit soup kitchen May 24 at Tryon Fire Department The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and Tryon Fire Department will hold their next soup kitchen Thursday, May 24 from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. at the Tryon Fire Department. This month’s event will be a spaghetti dinner. Proceeds from this month’s event will be used to assist Tryon resident David Webster with medical bills. “We’ve been very fortunate with the success of the first four soup kitchens in terms of being able to make money to fund its continuation,” said Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill. “We wanted to try something different this month and help a citizen in need. This doesn’t change the mission of the soup kitchen – we still are able to provide meals to those who cannot afford them, but we wanted to do something a little different with the proceeds from this month’s event. I think it speaks volumes about the generosity of

Polk Rescue Squad requests funding increase to 1/3 cent by Leah Justice
The Polk County Rescue Squad has asked Polk County to increase its funding from 1/4 of a cent tax revenue to a 1/3 of a cent. The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Tuesday, May 15 to hear budget requests from its six fire departments, the Harmon Field Board of Supervisors and the rescue squad. The board will make its final decisions June 18. Columbus and Mill Spring fire departments have also requested a one-cent tax increase for fiscal year
Obituaries
Judy Woodham
Joan (Judy) Morrison Woodham, 82, died Thursday, May 17, 2012 at Tryon Estates in Columbus. Born in Selma, Calif. on Feb. 14, 1930, she was the daughter of the late Erwin Gorham Morrison and Virginia Grannis Morrison.
2012-2013, which begins July 1. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson has denied all requests for tax increases in the county. Commissioners have not yet indicated how they intend to vote on the requests. The rescue squad currently receives $63,990 from the county annually to support its operations. Representatives told commissioners the squad needs the additional revenue to purchase defibrillators. The increase would mean an additional $23,552 for the department, or a 37-percent increase. If the in-
crease is funded, the rescue squad would receive $87,548 annually. The requests from Columbus and Mill Spring fire departments would come from additional tax revenue while the rescue squad request would come from the county’s budget. Columbus is requesting a onecent tax increase in order to hire three full-time employees to staff the department 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Columbus currently has a paid fire chief who works first shift Monday through
Friday and depends on volunteers during nights and weekends. Columbus currently has a tax rate of 4 cents per $100 of property valuation. A one-cent tax increase from the county would mean an additional $64,000 to the Columbus Fire Department and an additional $11,568 from the town. Mill Spring has asked for the increase to help offset increased fuel costs and increases in other supplies used by the department. One penny in Mill Spring would mean an additional $32,000 for the department.
Judy attended the University of Nevada in Reno. At the end of 1985, Judy and Woody moved to Tryon from Toledo, Ohio and became active in a number of community volunteer organizations, including St. Luke’s Hospital Auxiliary, Tryon Garden Club, Tryon Congregational Church, Meals on Wheels, FENCE, Second Wind Hall of Fame and Friends of the Fine Arts Center. She is survived by her hus-
band of 59 years, B.G. (Woody) Woodham Jr., a son, Douglas Woodham (Dalya Inhaber) of New York; a daughter, Barbara Lochen (Stephen) of Chicago, and a brother, James Scott Morrison (Susan) of Hendersonville, N.C. Also surviving are three grandchildren, Abigail, Elizabeth and Mitchell. A memorial service will be held at a later date in the Congregational Church of Tryon,
with Rev. Dr. Robert Barrows officiating. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the charity of your choice or to Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, 130 Forest Glen Drive, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

Head Too Toe Salon expands in new Tryon location by Samantha Hurst
Head Too Toe Salon and Boutique more than tripled its size with its move to a new location last month. Owner Stacy Strickland originally opened the salon in Tryon 15 years ago at its former location on Depot Street. She said it was a proud moment to say her business was simply out of room. “In this economy to accomplish growth – not just holding on, but real growth – has been exciting,” Strickland said, “especially because it’s mostly local people spending their money with us. We do have clients from out of town but it’s been encouraging to see how the community here has supported us.” The Head Too Toe team moved into their new location at 319 South Trade Street, across from Dollar General, on April 3 and has not stopped growing new services since. Strickland added clothing to her salon last year but now the selection has grown, along with the availability of jewelry, handbags, gift items, candles and skin care products. Strickland said they work to offer all of this without draining anyone’s budget. “Our goal is to keep our price point low enough that anyone can treat themselves every once in a while without spending a lot,” she said. Most items are less than $60 and Strickland said at least 90 percent of clothing sold is made in the United States. Head Too Toe also carries a number of local products such as Small Town

Coates to sign books at Book Shelf in Tryon May 26 Illustrator Kathy Coates will be featured at a book-signing on Saturday, May 26 at the Book Shelf in Tryon. Coates and Cathy Kaemmerlen recently introduced “The Buzz on Honeybees,” a nonfiction book for children published by Pelican Publishing. Kaemmerlen explains bee terminology and gives several anecdotes about bee behavior, including one from nationally known beekeeper Jim Oybey giving details on swarming bees in search of a new home. The stories are illustrated with Coates’ paintings of bees and their habits.
Coates’ work is on permanent display in gallery collections throughout the southeast. Coates uses illustrating to combine her love of art, the south and the natural world. She is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and her illustrations appear in “Batty About Texas” and “Cowgirl Alphabet,” both available from Pelican. She lives and works in her hometown of Charlotte, N.C. Kaemmerlen is an awardwinning actress, storyteller and historical interpreter with years of performing experience and inschool performances across the
country. Her humorous portrayals of history and science facts delight audiences of all ages. She has been the featured storyteller at festivals throughout the south and is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Her fascination with bees began with her own hands-on experiences with bees and beekeeping. Kaemmerlen resides in Marietta, Ga. The Book Shelf is located at 94 N. Trade Street in downtown Tryon.

Letter to the Editor
Pittman wins DC Henson watercolor from Habitat Restore
Exhibit at TFAC not to be missed
To the Editor: With Tryon Fine Arts Center’s weekend fundraiser Art in Bloom behind us, I thought a reminder that the incredible art and sculpture exhibit both inside TFAC (Gallery 1, Mahler Room and lobby) and outside (at main entrance and on the grounds) will remain in place through Friday, May 25. Even if you’re not shopping, this diverse display is well worth a leisurely visit. You’ll enjoy works by favorite local artists as well as stunning creations by a few of our more famous purveyors of communicative pieces. Congratulations to the Art in Bloom planners and coordinators for the success of their monumental undertaking. It’s nice to have this exhibit around for awhile longer with the addition of art that was painted in each of the tour gardens. Don’t miss it! - Rita E. Landrum
Julie Pittman of Mill Springs won a Mother’s Day drawing for an original watercolor by local artist DC Henson at the Habitat Restore in Landrum. Pittman said she was ver y excited, because it was the first thing she had ever won. Pittman decided to give the painting to her own mother for Mother’s Day. (photo submitted by Rhonda Standifer)

N.C. State Barbecue Championship coming to Tryon again June 8-9 The Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival will once again be the home of the state barbecue championship. In a formal proclamation, N.C. Governor Beverly Purdue has decreed that the Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival held annually in Tryon, “shall be known as a North Carolina State Championship,” and that June 8-9 “shall be ‘The Blue Ridge Barbecue Festival Days’ in North Carolina.” The proclamation urges all citizens to commend the observance. This year the event celebrates its 19th anniversary and, as usual, it will attract thousands of people to this small foothills town. Volunteers who plan and execute the event each year say it’s going to be one of the best ever. Chuck Britton, the festival chairman, invites everyone to come enjoy the championship barbecue, live music on two stages both days, regional crafts and family fun at

The most coveted prize, according 4 p.m. and from 4 - 10 p.m. Gates open at 11 a.m. on Friday to Britton, is the Bright’s Creek and at 10 a.m. on Saturday.

They may even pick up a hint or two about the art of slow cooking. Then they can head to the main field to chow down on award-winning barbecue – as well as grilled corn-on-the-cob, fresh-squeezed lemonade and other treats. The line-up of food vendors includes something for everyone’s taste, including vegetarians. On Saturday, look for the second annual Classic Car show featuring carefully restored vintage cars and trucks, and there will be two “Hawg Runs to Fun” (motorcycle poker runs), one originating in South Carolina – at the Harley Davidson store in Greenville – and the other in North Carolina – at Harley Davidson in Asheville.
