St. Luke’s accepts offer on former thrift store building The “For Sale” sign on the front of the former St. Luke’s Thrift Store building can finally come down. Discussions over the past two weeks between Tryon Business & Tourism Development Coordinator Crys Armbrust, Bob Lane, Ken Shull, CEO of St. Luke’s Hospital, and the St. Luke’s Hospital Board of Directors have concluded with St. Luke’s Board of Directors accepting Lane’s offer to purchase the 62 North Trade Street property. Armbrust, who indicated he acted as Lane’s representative, said, “this acquisition represents a red letter day for Tryon and Tryon Downtown Development.” “My interest is to help facilitate the building of a downtown focal point and public gathering space, and to return the building to a look (Continued on page 6)

Tryon Gallery Trot set for Aug. 11 The Tryon Gallery Trot series is in full swing with the next event set for Aug. 11 from 5-8 p.m. in downtown Tryon. A Polk County Community Foundation grant recently provided funding for outdoor entertainment during many of the Trots. Several shopkeepers (nongallery) in downtown Tryon, such as Main Street Antiques and Collectibles, will also open their doors during the next event. Tr y o n b a n d T h e Tr o p h y Husbands will perform early in the Trot in the center of town across from the clock tower. Don’t miss this energetic local rock/folk group of artists, known for their great harmonies and unique arrangements. Skyuka Fine Art embraces its love for the town with a show entitled “For the Love of Tryon.” Multiple artists have produced pieces all near and dear to Tryon hearts including: Lake Lanier,
downtown Tryon, Sidestreet Pizza, Hunting Country, Tryon Country Club, mountain scenes and much more. Skyuka also welcomes local fine art crafters Andy Costine and Doug Dacey. As a special treat for trotters, local winery Parker-Binns will bring their tasting room to the gallery during the opening reception. Samples will be offered. Be sure to climb up to Gallery I at Tryon Fine Arts Center on Melrose to see Tryon’s own Morris the Horse exhibit entitled “All Morris, All the Time.” Paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs of the mascot will be on display as an extension of the opening fundraising reception that took place on July 28 produced by the Save Morris Ransom Project. All proceeds benefit Morris’ restoration and return to Trade (Continued on page 4)

The Pacolet Area Conservancy and Walnut Creek Preserve will hold an informational presentation about mushrooms on Saturday, Aug. 4 at 10:30 a.m. at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve. Todd Elliott is a native of the mountains of western North Carolina and a student at Warren Wilson College. An award-winning nature photographer whose photos have appeared in books and magazines, Elliott said he is passionate about studying the diversity of life. His studies have led him on collecting trips from the deserts of Mexico to the snow banks of the Sierra Nevada, from the rainforests of Costa Rica and southeast Asia to the Australian backcountry. At Walnut Creek Preserve he will present an introduction to the world of fungi in the Southern Appalachians. He will give a brief lecture on the basics of identification, which will be followed by a walk around the preserve to collect and talk about any mushrooms that might be growing. Then, time and weather per-
mitting, those interested will go out on the property at Walnut Creek Preserve to look for mushrooms. Dress appropriately and bring good walking shoes and a basket. Children and adults are welcome and there is no charge. To get to Walnut Creek Preserve’s Nature Center from the Tryon and Columbus area, take Hwy. 108 E and turn left on to Hwy. 9 N toward Lake Lure. Follow Hwy. 9 N for 5 miles and turn right onto McGuinn Road (at the Exxon station). Go 1 mile to the intersection with Big Level Road; turn left, go 2/10ths of a mile and take the first right onto Aden Green Road. Follow Aden Green for 4/10ths of a mile and turn left on Herbarium Lane and into Walnut Creek Preserve. Take the first left onto Conservatory Lane, which takes you to the parking area for the nature center. For more information or directions from another location, please contact the Pacolet Area Conservancy at 828-859-5060 or e-mail: landprotection@pacolet.org. - article submitted by Pam Torlina

would push along revitalization efforts downtown. “This long-wished-for dream of many is now a firm reality,” Armbrust said, “and the naming opportunity will reflect the strong bonds in our community with St. Luke’s Hospital, which began less than 50 feet away in the second floor of what is now Owens Pharmacy.” This public/private economic development partnership continues the broad downtown development strokes of what began more than a year ago with Andy Millard and the renovation of the Tryon Depot, and afterwards, with Dr. John Hooker and the development of the Depot Plaza itself, Armbrust said. The former thrift store location has been vacant for about two years, Armbrust said.

that fits better with the street,” said Lane in a release. “I hope soon to engage an architect to design a retail, hospitality reuse of what began as an American Filling Station.” A resident of Tryon, Lane and his wife spent a year restoring the Sunnydale log cabin, located next door to Dollar General, before gifting it to the Tryon Little Theater last December. Lane said he intends to give permanent easement of the former thrift store property to the Town of Tryon, so that the city might build what has informally been referred to in the Streetscape Master Plan as “the Maple Street Plaza.” The plaza is part of a long-term goal and, according to Armbrust,

• UDO update (continued from page 1)
the UDO, including Article 10 (development review process), Article 11 (building design guidelines), Article 12 (off street parking and off street loading requirements), Article 13 (outdoor lighting), Article 14 (landscaping, buffering and screening), Article 16 (sign regulations), Article 21 (energy generating facilities) and Article 26 (land preservation overlay). Planning board chair Lisa Krolak said Article 22 includes the impact statement, Article 24 includes regulations for steep slope and Article 25 includes mountain and ridgeline regulations, all of which are going to take more time. She said the planning board has looked at Article 25 with the suggestion of taking out the current elevation restrictions. The planning board is currently considering regulating the mountains and ridgelines by the view shed approach, which will
include mapping and defining the county’s ridgelines. “Elevation is an option but we are trying to avoid that so that is going to take some time,” Krolak said. County attorney Mike Egan said Polk could define the elevation the county is going to regulate, but that mapping is going to take some time. He said the other suggestion is to do a view shed analysis, but that will also take time determining what view points the county wants, then mapping it. He said either way it’s going to take time including from staff and perhaps consulting time. “It’s the board’s choice to make that a separate project while making a recommendation on the UDO on the whole,” Egan said. The planning board also last week heard public comments. Sky Conard urged the planning board to include erosion and sedimentation control measure in the UDO. William Day said the UDO
“Polk County’s a wonderful rural community. Say ‘no’ to the UDO.” -- William Day
document is poorly written and unconstitutional and institutes countywide zoning. He said the 400-page document adds many “liberty-robbing” rules to the citizens of Polk County and asked why the county wants to duplicate state codes already in place. “Polk County’s a wonderful rural community,” said Day. “Say ‘no’ to the UDO.” Renée McDermott said she has concerns over Day stating the UDO institutes countywide zoning. “It simply absolutely does not,” McDermott said. “Zoning of the northern townships is off the table. Not going to happen.” She added that there are a few people who try to mislead others

in the county and who try to stir up problems. That’s wrong and it needs to stop, McDermott said. Day responded that when he refers to countywide zoning he’s referring to the county proposing to regulate steep slopes, which go across the county and that in effect is county wide zoning. Krolak said the planning board would review Articles 8 and 9 during the board’s next meeting. She said it would probably take through August to get through Article 24 on steep slopes. The next planning board meeting will be held on Thursday, Aug. 2 at 5 p.m. Meetings following Aug. 2 are scheduled for Aug. 9, Aug. 15 and Aug. 22. All meetings are held in the Womack building in Columbus. Once the planning board recommends the UDO and mountain and ridgeline protections, the Polk County Board of Commissioners will approve the final documents following a public hearing.
