Almost 200 pack meeting on saving Tryon by Leah Justice
If you missed the interview with the House of Flags Museum’s Robert Williamson shown on WSPA’s ‘Scene on 7” on Tuesday, July 3, you can see it onine at the website: www2.sceneon7.com/ entertainment/2012/jul/03/ flag-facts-05440-vi-135650/.
Tryon residents and businesses owners may be pulling together to save not only the town’s mascot, Morris, but also downtown business. Local organizers held a meet-
ing Monday, July 9 at the Tryon Depot to brainstorm ideas on how to renew, remake and rebuild Tryon’s economy. Organizers said they expected about a dozen people to attend, but people kept coming in droves,
eventually packing the meeting room, with many standing patiently outside on the porch trying to hear what was being discussed. Andy Millard of Millard & (Continued on page 3)

Polk approves water line to CooperRiis by Leah Justice
After watching a presentation on CooperRiis and hearing only support for Polk County to run and pay for extending water service to the healing center in Mill Spring, county commissioners approved the extension
unanimously. Commissioners met Monday, July 9 and approved extending a water line to CooperRiis Healing Center along Hwy. 108, including an additional 1,000 feet CooperRiis requested to increase safety. The county will run the water
line from the intersection of Hwy. 9 and Hwy. 108 to the property along Hwy. 108. CooperRiis plans to pay to tap on and extend the line from Hwy. 108 to its facilities. Commissioners also agreed to

Company, who facilitated the meeting, said he originally printed out 80 surveys, then printed 50 more and ran out again. “Ghost town, my eye,” Millard said as he started the meeting. Packing the depot room were 157 people, many of them standing along the walls and others sitting on the floor. Another 25 stood outside on the porch. “That is success right there,” Millard said. “Thank you so much again for coming.” The meeting included a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) analysis of Tryon, with participants voicing ideas of the town’s strengths and weaknesses and what they think can be done to create a sustainable business environment. After participants filled out surveys about downtown Tryon (Continued on page 4)

draw up a contract for CooperRiis to agree to purchase a minimum of 80,000 gallons of water per month from the county. CooperRiis representatives have said they expect to purchase 140,000 gallons a month from the county, with more in the future once 10 additional planned homes are constructed, three of which are planned to be constructed this year. Commissioners heard from several speakers, including a Powerpoint presentation from CooperRiis Executive Director and President Virgil Stucker. Stucker said CooperRiis is an internationally respected program for mental health care and is fueled by philanthropy. He said the center has helped people from 37 states, including Polk County. Stucker said the total cost to CooperRiis for getting the water service to the property is estimated at about $105,000. CooperRiis plans to add a second fire hydrant on the property. “The value of having two fire hydrants would be very helpful for increasing life safety,” said Stucker. Some commissioners were unsure in June whether to pay for all or some of the extension, but after hearing about CooperRiis’ donations to the community and support from the county economic and tourism development commission (ETDC), all commissioners were in favor of paying for the extension.

The county is currently connecting its Mill Spring well site, located off Wolverine Trail at the middle school campus, to Columbus’ water line, which ends at Polk County High School. The county decided to connect the county’s system with Columbus’ system for backup purposes. The middle school to high school project was amended on Monday to include the extension of a 12-inch line to CooperRiis, which is estimated to cost approximately $111,000, although contractors attending Monday’s meeting said the cost will actually be approximately $10,000 less than projected. In approving a change order to the project, commissioners agreed to pay for the line not to exceed $111,000. ETDC Chair Craig Hilton said the 12-inch trunk line will be available for future use as this part of the region grows. He said installing the line will be less expensive now than in the future and if CooperRiis expands as planned, having water will facilitate the expansion. Hilton also mentioned the many donations CooperRiis founders have given to Polk County organizations. CooperRiis began in 2003 and has given organizations in Polk County $1.5M in donations. “They are a valuable asset to Polk County both as providers and good citizens,” Hilton said. “The ETDC is requesting favorable consideration at your meeting tonight.” (Continued on page 6)
and I-26 bypassing Tryon. It was also mentioned that nearby towns of Columbus, Landrum and Saluda are threats in terms of tourism, but the other towns could also be an opportunity if the towns work together. At the close of the meeting, participants wrote down contact information so ideas and information can be shared. Further meetings will be planned after organizers review the surveys and determine the next steps. “This is just a start, folks,” Millard said. “This is a great opportunity that we have created.” Editor’s note: See this story at www.tryondailybulletin.com for a video of the meeting.

Bob Morgan, who is an ETDC member, Mill Spring business owner and treasurer of the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, said as a business owner CooperRiis has become a very important asset to him and has helped his business grow. “Once a business is here, do we say to them, Okay, you’re on your own,” Morgan asked, “or do we recognize our first responsibility is to encourage the businesses, which are already our neighbors?” “Let’s imagine that CooperRiis isn’t already here,” Morgan said. “One day Libbie Johnson (Polk County Economic Development Director) gets a call from (Don) Cooper and he is going to bring 116 jobs. The one request he has is the county runs a water line. Wouldn’t we approve that in a heartbeat?” CooperRiis employee and Tryon Councilman Doug Arbogast said CooperRiis’ presence in the county helps local businesses like Deb’s (service station) because employees fill up their tanks there instead of driving to South Carolina. Arbogast said from the Tryon perspective, “If we were in Tryon and they wanted that amount (of water), we’d be driving it to them in buckets.” Joe Epley said extending the

water line extends the reputation of Polk County as being pro-business. He said the county really cannot go any other way because if it goes against running the water line it’s going to send a negative message about the county. Epley also mentioned in addition to CooperRiis’ donations to Thermal Belt Outreach, CooperRiis residents have been very supportive in volunteering their time at Outreach. “It’s really an organization that really gives back to us,” Epley said. Sharon Young, CooperRiis institute director, said she travels to represent CooperRiis. She said about a year ago she went to British Columbia and was asked by a group who wanted to start a mental health facility if people aren’t scared of a mental health community being located here. “They asked, you certainly must run into problems,” Young said. “I was so proud to be able to look them in the eye and say this community has been nothing but supportive. Everybody has embraced us – right here in Polk County, N.C.”

Tryon showed it has plenty of life left Monday night when more than 150 people came out to a collaborative meeting of business owners and community members willing to discuss ways to spur economic growth in the city. Bringing to light Tryon’s SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) allowed many ideas to come forth. Now the question is, “How do we put these ideas into action?” Tryon has great assets but those assets must be advertised far and wide, as well as here at home. To keep Tryon alive and thriving, we all locally must shop in Tryon. You’d be pleasantly surprised by what you can find in the way of a birthday present in Owen’s Pharmacy or a hostess gift at La Bouteille or Vines & Stuff. What about a great book from our book stores? We must be active in local government and willing to participate in the committees already taking steps in the right direction. We also need to encourage any would-be business owners to fill the gaps noticeable in Tryon’s economy – affordable restaurants, children-related stores and activities and other retail ventures. The Polk County Economic and Tourism Development Commission has prepared a guide for new businesses should you know someone who has a great idea but is lost when it comes to where to start. It’s time to put thought to action and get creative so Tryon remains a special place to live and visit. There is strength in community members who cherish the place they live – let’s put that strength to work. — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

• Tryon forward so far, and if that can’t change, we should change. Fourth, I can’t tell which agencies, or associations are responsible for industry attraction but I don’t see much going on there, either. We don’t have the large expanses of flat land to attract big industries that require it, but there are lots of small and medium sized industries that do no significant environmental damage yet provide pretty good jobs wages and benefits. We should be trying to attract them. Where will our young people work? They’ll leave if we don’t have jobs. Use some of the tax savings in the first suggestion to finance a serious effort to find industry, jobs and incentives for them to locate here. Fifth, to the extent we can, support what we have left, i.e. eat in the remaining dining
establishments, buy from local merchants, use local service providers. Sometimes that can’t be done, and sometimes the prices here are substantially higher, but, if you factor how much gasoline costs to go to Hendersonville or Spartanburg, some of the “stuff” there is not as low cost as we think. Sixth, it has been said before, but bears repeating, that Landrum has a major highway intersection and the freeway. Saluda has the freeway and a nice highway intersection. Tryon doesn’t, therefore, we have to do things and have businesses that make us a destination. We need “festivals” like the BBQ, but certainly different themes to get people to come here and they’ve got need have places to eat, drink and shop. Seventh, clean up all the kudzu and invasive vegetation on all entrances to the town. Nothing says, to me, “We don’t
care about our town” more than all the junk growing along every major entrance to the town. Work cooperatively with Landrum to clean up the area on Highway 176 that feels like Tryon, but is actually Landrum. Eighth, ask the county to give the old St. Luke’s Hospital building back to the town so something constructive can be done with it or it can be torn down before it becomes another vacant eyesore. We didn’t get into this mess overnight, and we won’t get out overnight. The country is still in a recession, or close to it. People are watching their money closely. The competition for all consumer spending is fierce and will only get tougher. Some towns will win and some won’t. It would be nice to see Tryon and Polk County win and survive. Thanks for reading. – Jim Wright, Tryon

to being a large employer, they have supported numerous efforts to make Polk County a better place to live. And, in doing so, have saved the county money. I served on the library board of trustees during the capital campaign to raise funds for our new library. CooperRiis’s generous donations, along with other contributors, enabled building a library with substantially less county dollars. Bottomline: Polk County’s new library required much less tax dollars to build thanks to CooperRiis’s generosity and responsible approach to community partnership. They will continue to have a favorable impact on Polk County’s economy and quality of life. The commissioners would be wise to recognize this and support their request for a water line.

Turned Wood and Mixed Media at Upstairs Artspace The Upstairs Artspace in Tryon presents two exhibits, “Revolver” and “Marked Up,” opening July 13 and continuing through Aug. 25. “Revolver” showcases work by the painter Daniel Nevins and wood/mixed media artists Dustin Farnsworth and Daniel Marinelli. All are linked by forms that turn, twist and revolve to depict complex internal landscapes. Nevins lives in Asheville, N.C., while Farnsworth and Marinelli live in Greenville, S.C. Nevins explores the natural world through bold, saturated paint colors and organic shapes pushed to abstraction. Marinelli, a recent resident artist at Penland School of Crafts, uses wood, steel, paper and paint to make two- and threedimensional pieces. In the past four years, Farnsworth has participated in more than 40 exhib-
its, including the prestigious SOFA Chicago show. He has studied with Stoney Lamar and Brent Skidmore. “I’m really excited about the upcoming shows,” says Margaret Curtis, Tryon artist and Upstairs board member who curated the exhibits. “Farnsworth, Marinelli and Nevins are very different artists whose work has such strong visual connections Diptych painting by Daniel Nevins.

Last year, this program provided more than 400 school children with pencils, packs of paper, bookbags, erasers, crayons, glue sticks, etc. This year we expect the need to be even greater for children and families in crisis. Michelle Reedy, client services coordinator for Outreach, said, “With over half of our county’s school children eligible to receive reduced or free lunch, we know that many of them will qualify for school supplies too. Creating a level playing field for these youngsters to get off to a good start in school helps them feel good about themselves and encourages pride in doing their lessons well. “ Outreach collects schools supplies throughout the year to stock each school supply closet, but particularly during the summer months in order to prepare for the coming school year. If you would like to donate a new book bag
Current and ongoing school supply needs • New bookbags (all ages, but particularly middle and high school) • Wide-ruled and college-ruled paper • Pencils, pens and mechanical pencils • Large and small erasers • Pencil boxes and pencil pouches • Colored pencils, markers and highlighters • Rulers, pencil sharpeners and index cards • Crayons and dry erase markers • Glue sticks, composition books and safety scissors • 3-ring binders, notebook tab dividers and pocket folders or school supplies for children in need, you can drop off your donation at Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, 134 White Drive in Columbus, Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. Churches, organizations, families and individuals interested in completing a back-to-school drive on behalf of Outreach can call 828-894-2988.
The supplies are scheduled to be distributed on Aug. 4. Volunteers are always welcome to help pack and distribute supplies. Call for more information and ask for Michelle. In addition, monetary donations are always needed and appreciated. - article submitted by Wendy Thomas

(2) how to understand the evaluation (re-evaluation) process after a “splinter bid.” All singletons are not necessarily assets. It is the responsibility of the partner of the singleton holder to value the announced singleton. He is the “captain“ in this situation. North’s singleton Spade is actually a liability for suit play opposite “slow” Spade tricks in South’s hand. Let me explain why. South holds most of his high card strength in the Spade suit, which is of limited help playing in a suit contract, especially when the total high card value of both hands is average. Therefore, South opts to play in NT since he doesn’t fear a Spade opening lead and actually would savor that lead. The NT contract is also more favorable because you only need 9 tricks for game rather than 10 playing in a major suit. If you just exchanged (i.e. flipflopped) South’s major suit holdings, a Heart slam would only hinge on the Club finesse. If the actual deal had been played at 4 Hearts, South would need the Club finesse to work in order to make his game. However, 3NT makes even when the Club finesse is off. And based on an opening lead of a Spade, South is cold for 5NT.
