Holt draws crowd at New Harmonies concert in Landrum Brushfire Stankgrass Trio to perform Aug. 16 by Barbara Tilly

David Holt and his son, Zeb, performed to a large audience

on Saturday, Aug. 11 at the first outdoor concert in the New Harmonies series at the Landrum Library. Holt, a Grammy-winning musician who specializes in oldtime American music, is the host of public television’s “Folkways”

and PRI’s “Riverwalk: Classic Jazz from the Landing.” He performed on many instruments during the concert, including the mouth bow (also known as tune bow), harmonica, washboard, several different guitars, banjo, bones and the human body (as a

percussion instrument played by slapping hands, arms and legs in different ways). Holt talked about his friendship with another famed musician, Doc Watson, and played (Continued on page 3)

many songs in honor of Doc Watson. For example, he played “The Cuckoo,” which he said was the reason Doc Watson was discovered. In the early 1960s, musician Clarence Thomas Ashley, folklorist Ralph Rinzler and folk song collector Eugene Earle were planning to record an album in the southern mountains and wanted to include a version of the traditional tune “The Cuckoo.” Hearing that Doc Watson was the best in the area, they invited him to play guitar on the album. The recording marked the acoustic guitar debut for Watson, who became known for his flatpicking style of playing. Holt demonstrated a way of playing the washboard that he said he learned from 122-yearold Susie Brunson of Bamberg, S.C. He said she taught him to (Continued on page 4)

play with thimbles on his fingers, striking the washboard in rhythmic patterns, strumming only occasionally. The washboard was played to accompany everything from gospel to dance music in the Carolinas, Holt said. Holt asked the audience to play “hambone” for a number of songs. This involved clapping hands and slapping arms and legs in sometimes complicated patterns. He said he was impressed by how quickly the audience caught on. “You might be my best audience ever,” he said. Some of the many other songs performed at the concert included “Whiskey Before Breakfast,” “Travelin’ Man” and “Railroad Bill.” The next concert in the New Harmonies series will be Thursday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m. and will feature Brushfire Stankgrass Trio. The trio’s music, which includes the influences of hip hop, jazz and reggae, has been called “quintessential modern mountain music.” The concert will be held outdoors at the Landrum Library.

We’re here to deliver life’s greatest treasures. Erin Elmore of Mill Spring has always received great care when she’s been a patient at Rutherford Regional. All four of her children have been born here. “I’ve chosen to come back each time because I’ve been so pleased with my care,” Erin says. Her experiences have always been enhanced by what she calls the “little extras.” She especially praised the ability to have meals delivered at convenient times, and the photographs of her newborn also helped make her visit special. “They are absolutely beautiful pictures,” she says. “It’s something the staff doesn’t have to do, but it means so much to me.” Having an experienced nurse to answer her questions only a phone call away is another one of those extras. “It’s nice to be able to call Lucy (Calhoun, childbirth and women’s health coordinator) and say ‘Lucy, it’s Erin,’ and she knows exactly who you are.” The Birth Place at Rutherford Regional offers compassionate, personalized care before, during and after your baby is born.

Ours Regulations versus zoning

An advertisement that ran in the Monday, Aug. 13 Bulletin has raised questions about what Polk County’s proposed unified development ordinance (UDO) will do in terms of regulating the un-zoned areas of the county. The advertisement, paid for by PolkCountyLiberty.org, tells residents to “vote for the politicians who are against the UDO.” It includes a map on which the unzoned areas of the county, Coopers Gap and White Oak Townships, are shaded, with the statement, “shaded areas will be zoned by the UDO.” Yes, there will be some new regulations if the UDO is approved, and many residents disagree with that idea, but saying it will “zone” those townships is not statutorily correct. “The heart of zoning ordinances are rules on land uses – rules on what uses can go where, standards on building setbacks, the size of structures, required parking, size of signs and so forth,” explained N.C. Institute of Government Professor David Owens. Polk County already regulates several ordinances that are in place throughout the entire county, including Coopers Gap and White Oak townships. Currently, all townships are regulated by county ordinances for subdivisions, signs, flood damage protection, towers, junkyards, watersheds, mobile homes and mobile home parks and adult entertainment. Currently, there are two Mountainside and Ridgeline Protection Ordinances (MRPO), one for zoned areas and one for unzoned areas. The MRPO for zoned areas currently regulates building at elevations of 1,650 feet and higher and allows no commercial building at those elevations. The MRPO for unzoned areas does not regulate uses of land, such as commercial buildings. The MRPO’s elevation restrictions, which currently apply throughout the county, will be replaced by the steep slope regulations of the UDO, which will also apply throughout the county, including Coopers Gap and White Oak townships. The steep slope section of the UDO does not regulate land uses, which is the function of zoning. (Continued on page 9)

The UDO will replace the MRPO with steep slope regulations and add additional regulations for energy regulating facilities for the entire county. Many other ordinances in the UDO have been amended but still apply to the same areas of the county.

argued there are flat sections of land at high elevations and it’s the steep slopes the county should be protecting, which can be anywhere in the county. Other residents, at any elevation, may see the UDO changes as negative if they attempt to build on a steep slope anywhere in the county. If the UDO with the steep slope restrictions is approved, residents will be required to obtain an engineer’s report and have certain tests performed if they plan to build on steep slopes, which will also mean higher costs. People will still

be able to build on slopes; it just may cost more the steeper the slope. County officials have decided the steep slope regulations will apply to the building envelope only, not the entire property, which they hope will encourage people to build on portions of their property with the least steep slope. Counties are given the authority to enact ordinances by the N.C. General Assembly to protect the health and safety of residents. General Statute 153A-121 says, “A county may by ordi-

nance define, regulate, prohibit, or abate acts, omissions, or conditions detrimental to the health, safety, or welfare of its citizens and the peace and dignity of the county; and may define and abate nuisances.” Although some may see the regulations as “zoning,” because government has the right to tell someone how to build on their land, zoning in its definition is telling someone what they can build on their land, which the UDO will not change in the un-zoned areas. — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

their parents may eventually need to leave their homes and, when their resources are sufficiently low, suffer the indignity and social privation of living in a nursing home under Medicare. I so hope that the United States, my adopted homeland,

will eventually adopt a system of health and social care that will allow the medically needy the help they require without subjecting them to financial ruin, and the humiliation and worry that go along with it. It is surely the civilized thing to do.

As a postscript, I would like to point out that all our legislators, as well as receiving excellent pensions, are recipients of a very good system of health care – paid for by the citizens of the United States. – Frances Flynn, Tryon

14th annual Green Creek Heritage Festival set for Sept. 8 The 14th Annual Green Creek Heritage Festival will be held Saturday, Sept. 8, from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m., at the Green Creek Community Center in Green Creek. The festival had its start in the spring of 1999, when Dr. Don McIntyre, then pastor of Green Creek First Baptist Church, birthed the idea of a festival depicting life in Green Creek 100 years ago. His desire was to offer to the community and surrounding area a day of fun, with a look back at how residents’ ancestors lived their daily lives. The festival was held at the Green Creek Community Center, Inc. and many demonstrations were given that day of the tasks inside and outside a turn of the century home. Antiques were on display and area history was shared with young and old. Today, the Green Creek Community Center Board of Directors oversees the plans for the festival. The ideas from the first festival are still in place with many artisans demonstrating various crafts. A main concern from the beginning and still today was to keep the cost as low as possible so everyone could afford to come. Parking and admission are free. The only costs

are for food and the purchase of craft items. “We are very excited about this year’s festival and look forward to a record crowd.” New this year is The Edge of Polk Cross-Country 5K to be held Thursday, Sept. 6. Registration begins at the white building off of Green Creek Drive at 6:30 p.m., with the race to begin at 7 p.m. Also on that night, from 5:308:30 p.m., there will be a Poor Man’s Supper consisting of ham, pinto beans, corn bread and desserts. 5-K participants will receive a free meal ticket with their registration. The festival parade has increased in participants each year; organizers said they would like to include as many area organizations as possible. If your civic club, church or school organization, or scout troop would like to participate in the parade, you can register with Francine Costner at 828-863-4065. The finale to the parade is the Firemen’s Barrel Roll Competition, now in its eighth year. Local fire departments that would like to participate should contact Mi(Continued on page 11)

Dinner benefit for PAC Sept. 7 Birders and non birders alike can find their inspiration in the wealth of items up for auction at the Pacolet Area Conservancy’s first annual “For Land’s Sake!” benefit dinner on Friday, Sept. 7. Drawing on the estimable talents of Polk County artists, all things avian are being painted, drawn, etched, carved and photographed into existence – all to be auctioned off alongside a dazzling array of gifts donated by generous supporters of PAC. “Whether you’re a bird lover or not, this benefit promises to be a fun experience,” said Nancy McKinstry, event chairwoman. The old Sunnydale Restaurant in Tryon will be transformed into an avian masterpiece of trees, colors and dramatic forms, courtesy of Cory and Erin Thompson of Thompson’s Garden Gallery and Outdoor Living, located in Tryon. By giving attendees a bird’s eye view into the world above our

heads, PAC organizers said they hope to showcase the benefits of land conservation – not only for its intrinsic value to local residents but also for its importance to native bird populations. Loss of habitat represents the single greatest threat to avian populations. Because more than 70 percent of land in America is privately owned, conserving the diverse landscape of woodlands, grasslands, wetlands, marshes, lakes and rivers that defines Polk County is more important than ever, PAC officials said. Everyone is invited to enjoy a meal, as well as live music provided by Jim Peterman. Take your pick of donated gifts, trips and services – from landscape designers to topiary artists, from vacation packages to zip lining and river adventures. For more information or to support the organization’s ongoing efforts, call 828-859-5060 or visit www.pacolet.org.

Ten percent of all proceeds is designated to a college scholarship that is awarded to a Green Creek resident each year. Applications will be available at the festival or you can contact a board member. Many of the same activities will be available this year, including gospel, country and bluegrass music, storytellers, health fair, the 4-H livestock show and many others. Organizers said everyone is invited and encouraged to come for the entire day. They said there will be something for all ages to enjoy. For more information or to volunteer to help with the festival, contact Krista Haynes, festival chairperson, at 828-817-0194.

Upstairs brings national encaustic artists to Tryon The Upstairs Artspace announces a major event opening in September that will feature some of the nation’s most renowned and cutting-edge encaustic artists. The show, Heated Exchange, is curated by Reni Gower of Virginia Commonwealth University, who is one of the leading experts in the field. Encaustic, an ancient technique in which pigment is suspended in hot wax, is undergoing a meteoric resurgence in popularity. The surface is extremely durable -- the famed Fayum portraits date to the time of the pharaohs. It is also malleable, allowing artists to manipulate it in varied and creative ways, such as scraping, burning, dipping and pouring. “The Upstairs is thrilled to bring an exhibit of this caliber to the region,” says Margaret Curtis, the gallery’s exhibits chairperson. “We are also excited to be offering a series of workshops that will allow everyone from the non-artist to the professional to explore the possibilities of this exciting medium.” The first workshop, led by Asheville encaustic artist Mary Farmer, is a two-day intensive program that will take participants from the novice to intermediate level. This workshop will be held on Oct. 12-13, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The second workshop is geared toward the encaustic professional and will feature

three artists – Reni Gower, Kristy Deetz and Jane Allen Nodine – demonstrating three separate techniques. It will be held on Nov. 10, starting at noon. Anyone interested in registering is encouraged to contact the Upstairs Artspace early, as space is limited. Along with the workshops, there will be a program for children, who will learn about bees, wax and honey from area beekeepers. R&F Handmade Paints Inc., one of the nation’s premier manufacturers of encaustic materials, will provide the equipment and materials for the workshops. The Upstairs also invites local businesses to participate as sponsors for this event, which will be publicized across the region and nationally. “This is going to be a wonderful opportunity to see some of the most spectacular encaustic work being done today,” said Karen Jones, president of the Upstairs board of directors. “This is a rare opportunity for anyone with an interest in the visual arts and encaustic in particular.” For more information about the show, including opportunities to participate in workshops or as a volunteer or sponsor, please contact the Upstairs at 828-8592828. The staff at the gallery, 49 S. Trade St., Tryon, will also be available during business hours, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. – article submitted by the Upstairs Artspace

Mystery ‘Celebrity Cookers’ at White Oak benefit lunch Aug. 17 A hot dog and hamburger lunch will be held in the courtyard at White Oak of Tryon on Friday, Aug. 17 from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Mystery “Celebrity Cookers” will be on hand to cook hamburgers and hot dogs and greet the public. A plate consists of hamburger or hot dog with condiments, as well as potato chips, cole slaw, baked beans,

chili and a variety of homemade desserts. The lunch will be held on the patio just inside the rehab entrance, where you can pick up a lunch to go or enjoy it under the large tent. All proceeds from the lunch will go to help pay medical bills for Lori Webster, full-time Restorative C.N.A. at White Oak of Tryon and part-time C.N.A. at St. Luke’s

Hospital in Columbus. Webster has been diagnosed with Stage 3 melanoma and will have surgery as soon as it can be scheduled. Upon recovery from the surgery, she will begin chemotherapy treatments which will last for one year. Lori has been with White Oak for more than three years and at St. Luke’s since April of 2010.

Many White Oak residents have known Lori since she began working there three years ago and said they have grown very attached to her. “She is so kind and caring to all of us and does so many extra things for us,” one resident said. “This shouldn’t be happening to her.” – article submitted by Beth Romney

St. Luke’s Hospital receives grant from Cannon Foundation When completed, the new patient rooms will be three times as large as the current rooms and have ample space for family members to comfortably spend the night. Amenities will include private bathrooms, pristine views, and an emphasis on the healing powers of natural aesthetics. The addition will have a large family waiting area with a stone fireplace designed to extend a warm, personal touch to all aspects of healthcare.

Construction of the 15,000square-foot, $5.6 million addition begins this fall with completion anticipated by the end of 2013. “The generous support from The Cannon Foundation, other foundations and from individuals in our community have helped us tremendously in our goal to raise $2 million,” said Judy Lair, chair of the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees. – article submitted by Jennifer Wilson

Sometimes you see a bridge hand that has a message in it for all levels of player; novice, intermediate or advanced. South arrives at a contract of 6 Hearts. Let’s look at the typical play associated with each level of player ability and hopefully learn something we can all take toward advancing to the next level. The novice player will note that all he needs to make his contract, no matter what the opening lead, is to have a successful finesse for the Club Queen. He is satisfied to make 6 or go down one if the Queen is offside. The intermediate player will note the same as the novice but will add another dimension to his plan for success. If he gets a 4 of Spade lead from West he doesn’t put all his eggs in one basket by relying on a successful Club finesse, he plays small from the dummy and is guaranteed his contract no matter who has the Queen. If West has the Queen that is the last trick for the defense since declarer will get to discard

one small Diamond on a high Spade honor. And he will play for 7 by finessing for Club Queen for a discard for his other small Diamond. If East had Spade Queen he would lose a trick but would gain 2 Spade discards for his 2 small Diamonds. If a Diamond was led, both the novice and intermediate players, based on the lie of the Diamond honors, would usually be forced to fall back on a Club finesse in order to make 6. So what’s the lesson for the advanced player? Well, the play of the hand might be the same, but as a defender there’s a lot to be learned. On the lead of Diamond, if East covers whatever card is played from dummy, declarer is left with having to rely on the Club finesse. But look what happens if East, an advanced level player, false cards by covering dummy’s Diamond 9 with the King. It would look to declarer that West had led away from the Diamond Queen and all declarer had to do was lead up toward the Jack of Diamonds for a “guaranteed” 12th trick. Surprise! The key to remember here is for East to give declarer a losing option by playing the Diamond King or Queen on the opening lead.
