lot of things to display at home.” Diana Jackson has worked with the program since she came to Tryon Arts & Crafts School, and she said the program has been ongoing since long before the school moved to its current location at Harmon Field. “[Participants] may find something they really love, they may not,” Jackson said. “But at least when they go see artwork in actual galleries they will have an appreciation for what it took the artist to create that piece.” Youth who participated in the first session of the weeklong program displayed their works for parents Friday, July 13. Their exhibit tables overflowed with projects ranging from metalwork to pastels. Wade Morgan wasn’t shy in his opinion of the camp. In fact, he couldn’t even define a favorite part of the camp; he just beamed with excitement.

“It was all awesome,” Morgan said. Hyder said as an only child he enjoyed being around the other kids and learning about so many different types of art. “We try to expose them to real art forms – it’s not a watered
down version,” Jackson said. “They are working with professional artists. It’s a hands-on program in which they actually make art in the same way artists do their work.” Jackson said this means actually fusing glass and putting a
drill in their own hands to connect two pieces of wood. Jackson said they aim to include at least nine different activities during the week for students to experience. (Continued on page 4)

Primary runoff draws low turnout in Polk, across state by Leah Justice
Polk County voters, like those in the rest of the state, turned out in low numbers for the second 2012 primary runoff election. Polk had a 2.16 percent turnout for the Tuesday, July 17 second primary, compared to a 3.58 percent turnout across the state, according to unofficial Polk County Board of Election results. Polk County voters followed some of the same trends as other North Carolina voters and chose Dan Forest as the Republican nominee for N.C. Lieutenant Governor. Forest received 223 Polk votes and 101,428 statewide votes compared to Tony Gurley’s 14 Polk votes and 47,978 votes statewide. Polk County and state voters also chose John C. Brooks over Marlowe Foster for the Democratic candidate for N.C. Commissioner of Labor. Brooks received 37 votes compared to Foster’s 35 votes in Polk County. Statewide, Brooks won the nomination with 31,216 votes compared to Foster’s 26,431. Polk and state voters nominated Mike Causey as the Republican

Jackson said the program focuses on the studio work that is currently available at the school such as weaving, glass, metalworking, jewelry and pottery. She said administrators then added series such as Linda Powell’s drumming, which has evolved into a storytelling and dancing portion. They also invited community artists to bring in other aspects to the youth camp such as Chris Baschon’s papermaking and, Marla Bailey’s weaving or Christine Mariotti’s silk painting. “Once they’ve come in here and they’ve turned a bowl or they’ve built a toolbox they won’t look at them the same way other people might,” Jackson redeemed - 19
candidate for N.C. Commissioner of Insurance. Causey received 180 Polk County votes and 80,704 votes statewide, compared to Richard Morgan’s 52 Polk votes and 59,910 votes statewide. Other state races for Polk voters included the Republican candidates for N.C. Secretary of State and N.C. Superintendent of Public Instruction. Ed Goodwin won statewide over Ken Gardner for N.C. Secretary of State, although Polk voters chose Gardner with 154 votes compared to Goodwin’s 79 Polk votes. Statewide, Goodwin received 74,252 votes compared to Gardner’s 62,044. The Republican race for N.C. Superintendent of Public Instruction ended with John Tedesco as the nominee. Polk voters chose Richard Alexander, with 155 votes compared to Tedesco’s 77 votes. Statewide, Tedesco received 75,366 compared to Alexander’s 63,119. The second primary was a runoff election from the May primary in North Carolina. The general election will be held Nov. 6. said. “Kids always laugh and say they don’t know where their food comes from. With art it’s very much the same thing – kids today don’t always know where cloth comes from or how their silverware was once made.” The students left camp last Friday with plenty of artwork to fill frames, a metal bracelet to wear or give as a gift and even woven pieces. “I knew how to sew but I didn’t even know what weaving was, so that was a lot of fun to learn about,” said camper Jayden Culver. Some spaces are still available in week five of the program if a parent is interested in registering a child. For more information on this program or other programs at Tryon Arts and Crafts School, call 828-859-8323.

high expectations and prepare middle grades students for challenging high school courses and productive careers. The award was presented by Dave Spence, president of the Southern Regional Education Board, at the 26th annual HSTW staff development conference in New Orleans on Wednesday, July 11, attended by more than 5,000 educators from across the nation. Spence praised the school for its achievement, noting the crucial role of these middle grades schools in preparing more students for success in high school, further studies, work and citizenship. “This school has shown what can be accomplished to raise student achievement by deeply implementing the Making Middle Grades Work model for strengthening curriculum and instruction,” said SREB
Senior Vice President Gene Bottoms. “Research shows that the ninth grade is a critical transition point for students.” Bottoms said students who struggle in the ninth grade are much more likely to drop out of high school. “For that reason,” he said, “schools in the SREB Making Middle Grades Work initiative devote time and effort in preparing students to be successful in high school.” “There is no middle school in the state more deserving of this award than Landrum Middle School,” said District One Schools Superintendent Dr. Ron Garner. “The leadership of principal Crystal McSwain and the dedication of the faculty and staff at Landrum Middle to the students of District One are unsurpassed…. We are extremely proud of Landrum Middle School’s staff and students.” – article submitted by Paula Brooks

Roads and highways are not the same. A road is usually connected to a place or an event, while a highway is designed to connect two points. I-26 connects I-40, I-85, and I-95, and Asheville, N.C., Columbia and Charleston, S.C. No one would build his or her home on an expressway. And even if you wanted to, the home would be inaccessible or require an interstate exit and a twisted and circuitous road route to get there. Roads are different. Harmon Field Road is connected to the field it passes. And Harmon Field has a history. Old Howard Gap Road winds its way through Howard Gap. Trade Street is a road lined with shops and services. A road has meaning in itself, almost inviting a stop. In contrast, a highway is about getting there. As Milan Kundera observed in “Immortality,” “A highway is a triumphal devaluation of space, which thanks to the highway has been reduced to a mere obstacle to overcome in order to journey

between two points.” Many of us in America live lives based on speed and efficiency. We want to get things done, cross them off the list and move on. In our culture, roads have become highways, and highways a necessity. In our rush to get from place to place, it is easy to ignore or even bulldoze the scenery around us. And the faster we go and the more focused we are on the destination, the less we see around us. Sometimes, though, circumstances conspire to teach us a lesson. Recently, Mary (my spouse) and I were driving from Knoxville, Tenn. to Asheville, N.C. on I-40. We were in a hurry to get back to Tryon for an appointment after helping my mother move from the house in Knoxville where she had lived for 55 years. We had just gotten into the mountains when suddenly traffic came to a complete stop. After conducting a little research using our

Whatever the road or highway we travel, what happens to us while we are “on the way” matters, often as much as the destination, maybe more. When hiking up a high mountain it is the switchbacks that make the journey possible. When traveling along a road it is the signs and landmarks that show us the way. Scenery inspires. Rest stops provide important resources. Getting lost can lead to new experiences. And sometimes even an unexpected accident that stops traffic “American Cuisine with ayou, Twist” for hours, or reroutes and Corner of Peak St. & Hwy. 828-894-2440 108time in Columbus adds to the journey, becomes the highlight.

Early education is vital to our community Editor’s note: This column will run once a month from the Partnership for Children of the Foothills. There is nothing more important to the future of our community than making sure that our youngest children get off to the best start in life and enter school healthy, and prepared for success. As the executive director of the Partnership for Children of the Foothills, we know that when we invest in our young children, we are investing in the future of our community. I look forward to sharing information each month that I hope will be helpful to families of young children, educators, business leaders and the community. We will share what is happening in the community for young children and offer tips and resources as well as some fun ideas and healthy recipes for busy families. The Partnership for Children of the Foothills is a new merger between Rutherford/Polk Smart Start and The McDowell County Partnership for Children. Our new mission is to build a strong foundation for children’s learning and development by strengthening families, the early

Local firefighter participates in cycling event Polk County resident and Saluda/Asheville firefighter Richard Rauschenbach will participate in the Carolina Brotherhood cycling event July 23-27. Rauschenbach will join 29 other firefighters from the Carolinas in the event, in which firefighters and police officers ride in the name of their fallen brothers and sisters from the Carolinas. This year’s ride is dedicated to Captain Jeffery Bowen from the Asheville Fire Department. He died last July 28 while operating at a commercial structure fire.
