Tryon questions some customers receiving free raw mountain water

by Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon is currently looking into a 1926 deed that has allowed some Country Club Road residents to receive free mountain water for irrigation purposes.

Peter Markovic told Tryon Town Council on May 15 that his spigot from

the raw (untreated) mountain water source is no longer working since the town re-established the line.

Tryon now uses water from its former mountain water source, as well as Lake Lanier water, to supply customers.

concerns over property owners having free access to water and concerns about its safety.

“It’s hard for me to fathom the town saying it was going to give away free water,” said commissioner Roy Miller. “I don’t think it’s fair to our other citizens. That’s just my position on it.”

Miller also said there are health and liability concerns because the town is now using that water.

Markovic said the health issues were taken care of in the 1970s when the state prohibited use of raw water coming from the mountain for any use except irrigation.

Miller said his issue is there are 12 people who are not paying for that water.

“And in exchange for that pipe being laid on that property we get access to that water,” Markovic said.

Nager said his reading of the agreement is that the town did not make a promise that anyone could take that water, and certainly not for free. He said there is no wording saying anything about taking water.

Markovic said he and other

“It’s hard for me to fathom the town saying it was going to give away free water.”

attorneys disagree with Nager’s interpretation of the agreement.

Commissioner Wim Woody asked whether Markovic has some legal right now to use the water since the property has used it for so long.

Nager said that wouldn’t be the case for use of water.

“We’re not giving away free water,” Miller said. “I’m not, anyway. For 15 years I’d say you [Markovic] enjoyed free water.”

Miller said if Tryon allowed this it would have to give every Tryon citizen the same privilege.

Council decided to request DENR send the town in writing its suggestion of whether the town can allow any use of raw water.

Town officials said they will make a decision on Markovic’s request to fix the access following correspondence from the state.

Hogs & Kisses youngest competitors ever for BBQ festival When the smoke rises over Harmon Field in Tryon on the weekend of June 8 and 9, a new record will be set at the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival.

Hogs & Kisses, the youngest team ever to compete here, will vie against the seasoned veterans. And team members Allison Herrmann and Madison Arrowood are serious about winning.

The two 14-year-olds competed for the first time and won big last October in the Future Legends of BBQ at Camp Mondamin near Flat Rock, N.C. On the way to the grand championship they took first in ribs and first in sauce. Their twicebaked potatoes took third place in competitors’ choice, and they placed third in the theme category.

Herrmann is the stepdaughter of Justin Hembree, pit master of Fast Eddie’s Fine Swine, and Arrowood is the daughter of Tryon Police (Continued on page 7)

Grins, glass and galaxies at Upstairs Artspace, public reception May 26 Three theme-based exhibits open at the Upstairs Artspace this Friday, May 25. A public reception will be held Saturday, May 26, 5 to 8 p.m. A “Walk & Talk” tour of the art led by artists will precede the reception at 4 p.m.

“Mind Over Matter” explores evolution, space and consciousness in abstract paintings by Barbara Fisher of Asheville Ann Stoddard of Spartanburg, S.C. and Felicia van Bork of Charlotte. Each artist is well represented in major galleries and private collections around the country. Van Bork has an exhibit opening in June at the prestigious Jerald Melberg Gallery in Charlotte, while Fisher said she looks forward to a solo exhibit at the Hickory Museum of Art (Hickory, N.C.) in 2013. The three artists have exhibited at the Upstairs in years past.

“Funny Papers” is a group show of works on paper. Co-curator Ursula Gullow of Asheville explains the exhibit as “contemplating so-

cial malaise, political issues, philosophical angst and pop trends with a humorous edge.” Artistic styles run the gamut from comic book stylizations to contemporary abstractions and folk art portraits. The artists, all from Asheville, are Julie Armbruster, Andy Herod, Kreh Mellick, Michael Ohgren, Victor Palomino, Nathanael Roney, Martha Skinner, Kirsten Stolle and Jessica White. Margaret Curtis, of Tryon, is also co-curator.

In “Parallel Play,” Jan and Jim Kransberger are said to breathe wit, elegance and novelty into figurative glass sculpture (Jan) and mixed media folk art (Jim). The Asheville couple became artists after they were well into retirement. Each has achieved phenomenal recognition and success — both regionally and nationwide. Currently, Jim is in the highly praised exhibit “Waking Up with Van Gogh” at the Hickory Museum, and he is also featured in the soon-to-be published book “Humor in Craft.”

“Party Tonight, Sailor?” by Jim Kransberger. (photo submitted by Nancy Holmes)

Jan’s glass work is in Blue Spiral 1 in Asheville, RedSky Gallery in Charlotte, River Gallery in Chattanooga, and Prismo, Aspen and Vail. She is a member of Southern Highland Craft Guild and Piedmont Craftsmen.

On Tuesday, June 5, 7 p.m., “Funny Papers” artists and curators

will discuss social and political art in a free public program.

Gallery hours are Tuesday through Saturday, noon to 6 p.m., and Sunday, noon - 4 p.m. For more information, call 828-859-2828 or visit www.upstairsartspace.org.

St. Luke’s Hospital provides $1.9 million in community benefits in 2011 Saving lives, restoring health and providing jobs are just the beginning of hospitals’ contributions to their community. One of our fundamental values at St. Luke’s Hospital is our commitment to our community.

Each year, we are struck by how much the idea of helping our community is woven through St. Luke’s Hospital and its programs.

We maintain this commitment both collectively as an organization and individually in our personal contributions. We believe it is our duty and our obligation to support the health and well-being of all those we serve. From Relay for Life to PACWalk to individual health fairs, smoking cessation classes and educational seminars, St. Luke’s Hospital supports many community initiatives each year.

As a not-for-profit organization, it is our obligation and our commitment to use our taxexempt status for the good of the community that supports us. The

St. Luke’s also benefited the community through various health and education classes for the community, many health/information fairs for the community and various community organization and event sponsorships. These services are often provided at no cost or at a reduced rate, as they are essential to the well-being of the community and an integral part of nonprofit hospitals’ tax-exempt purpose.

Community Benefits contributions are fundamental to our mission and why we exist. Providing quality medical care through our everyday programs and services is a cornerstone of our enduring commitment to serve our local community. At St. Luke’s Hospital, we’re proud of the vital role we play in our community’s health as we continue to provide exceptional care, close to home.

Polk County Middle School (PCMS) students Sarah Woods, Zane Johnson, Harrison Sloan and Annie Eargle work together to read “Home of the Brave,” a novel about a young boy who emigrated from Africa to the United States. Using grant funds from the Polk County Community Foundation, Miss Paterson’s language arts classes and Mrs. Gilbert’s social studies classes at PCMS were able to work on a collaborative unit about Africa. Mrs. Gilbert used a grant to purchase a class set of “Home of the Brave.” This novel tied in with Miss Patterson’s grant purchase of “14 Cows for America.” The students came together in social studies to make connections between the two books and about life in Africa, compared to life in America.
