Tryon researching food and beverage tax by Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon is currently researching the possibility of adding a one-percent tax on sales of prepared food and beverages. Tryon Town Council met Aug. 21 and agreed for Bill Crowell of the Tryon Tourism Development Authority (TTDA) to research

what it would take for the town to implement the tax. Crowell said the tax could benefit the town by providing revenue for beautification projects such as the City of Landrum has done with a similar tax. Commissioner Wim Woody said he is against taxes in general.

“We have enough trouble getting people into town,” Woody said. “I just don’t like that idea in our small town.” Woody suggested if the town needs money for beautification, council find the money in the (Continued on page 4)

not a profession for that teacher, but just a job. I think that it would be difficult to teach ethically unless one has a passion for students and their learning. We don’t need anyone other than dedicated professionals teaching our children.” Landrum Middle School teacher of the year is Jackie Putman. Putman has been teaching for 28 years, six of them at Landrum Middle School. She has a master’s plus 30 degree. About her philosophy of teaching reading, Putnam said, “I strongly believe that reading and writing does not stop in the language arts class but should be integrated across the entire curriculum. Students need to be armed with as many opportunities as possible to read and write in all classes because it is such a crucial skill in today’s global world.” O.P. Earle Elementary teacher of the year is Anna Mathis. Mathis teaches fourth grade at O.P. Earle. She holds a B.A. in elementary education and is certified in elementary and middle level math. Mathis said she believes “rigor, relationship and relevance are the foundation for my personal teaching style. As a 21st-century teacher, I must provide various instructional strategies and opportunities for learning for all students. The instructional content is integrated and differentiated. I integrate math and science and use literacy integration through books and writing. I differentiate content through oneon-one instruction and small group instruction.” District One’s overall teacher

of the year is English/language arts teacher Erin Gramling, who is also Chapman High School teacher of the year. Gramling is a graduate of the University of SC-Upstate, has a master’s degree in education and has been teaching for seven years, all at Chapman High School. Other District One teachers of the year include: • Anna Hodge, art teacher at Campobello-Gramling • Melissa Lark, third-grade teacher at Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary School • Mary Somers, special education teacher at Inman Elementary School • Amber Keeran, media specialist at Inman Intermediate School • Tammy Starosto, math teacher at Mabry Middle School • Gayle Elrod, guidance counselor for New Prospect Elementary School • Tracy Thornton, graphics and printing teacher at Swofford Career Center The teachers of the year were honored by the District One Board of Trustees at a dinner on Aug. 13. Each teacher received a plaque to be placed outside the classroom. They were also recognized at the annual District One Convocation of all staff on Thursday, Aug. 16. “We are so proud of each of these teachers who represent their school and all the teachers in District One,” said Dr. Ron Garner, Superintendent of Schools. “They represent the teaching profession at its best and we are so appreciative of the efforts they make every day for our students.” – article submitted by Paula Brooks

Landrum, Campobello residents arrested on drug charges The Spartanburg County Sheriff’s office arrested a Landrum woman and a Campobello man on Tuesday, Aug. 21 on drugrelated charges. The arrests were made during a routine stop for a minor traffic violation, according to Spartanburg court reports. Kristin Danielle Pierce, 24, of 301 Butter Street in Landrum was arrested and charged with pos-

session iwth intent to distribute Adderall, second offense. Christopher Derrick Stone, 27, of 2120 Mount Lebanon Road in Campobello was arrested and charged with possession of less than one gram of methamphetamine, second offense. – information submitted by the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office

• Tryon tax

Landrum receives between $120,000 and $150,000 per year from what the city refers to as its hospitality tax. The revenue is restricted to uses designed to bring in tourists and making the city more attractive. Landrum has used its hospitality tax for a variety of improvements and efforts to draw tourists, including advertisements in newspapers and magazines from Asheville to Florida, beautification of roads ranging from signage to grass cutting and litter pick-up, installation of flags and banners in the downtown area and installation of stamped crosswalks downtown. Most recently, the city plans to finance depot renovations with hospitality funding. “You can see what (the tax) has done for Landrum,” said Crowell. The tax would be for prepared food and beverages only and would apply to restaurants, bars, coffee shops, cafes and anywhere else food and beverage is prepared and sold in town.

(continued from page 1)

budget and not tax only restaurants. Commissioner George Baker said he agrees with Woody. But commissioner Doug Arbogast said he is in favor of adding a one-percent food and beverage tax. Commissioner Roy Miller didn’t express an opinion but said the town could agree to give Crowell the directive to do the research and bring information back to council’s next meeting. The N.C. state legislature would have to give Tryon the authority to implement the tax. Landrum began charging a two-percent prepared food and beverage tax approximately four years ago after South Carolina gave authority for counties and municipalities to implement the tax. Landrum at the time either had to enact the tax or Spartanburg County would have been able to receive the taxes from Landrum’s food and beverage establishments.

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

Is there such a thing as a good tax? The Town of Tryon is currently considering adding a one-percent food and beverage tax, which could be positive for the town, especially in a time when a community-wide momentum has generated to rejuvenate and enhance downtown. Businesses that have to charge the tax and customers who have to pay the tax will likely disagree, however. The City of Landrum has certainly benefited from a 2-percent food and beverage tax implemented a few years ago. But Landrum was pushed in a corner; if it had not decided to charge the tax itself, Spartanburg County could have taken the revenue from Landrum establishments. With revenues of up to $150,000 a year, Landrum has beautified its downtown area and paid for signage and many advertisements to draw visitors – and those visitors have come in droves. Tryon will certainly not receive as much revenue as Landrum if a similar tax is approved by the state. Landrum receives tax revenues from a much larger number of food and beverage establishments than Tryon currently has. Tryon will likely never have fast food establishments, something that Landrum can capitalize on because of its location along I-26. Tryon currently has relatively few eating and drinking establishments, but with improvements to the town and advertising, this could be an opportunity to help draw more visitors and grow businesses. Tryon officials should do careful research at this critical time to weigh the benefits and possible detriments an additional tax could mean for its future. – Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Bravo to Landrum Library for New Harmonies To the editor: “New Harmonies: Celebrating American Roots Music” has come to Landrum, and I and I’m sure others wish to give a big “bravo” to Lee Morgan for obtaining a grant from the Humanities Council, with funding provided by the U.S. Congress and many local sponsors, to bring the Smithsonian exhibit to Landrum. The grant has provided for an excellent exhibit at the library and free concerts and lectures, all concerned with our American roots music. These activities take place every week thorugh the middle of September. Please stop by the Landrum

Library and view the wonderful interactive Smithsonian exhibit of American music and pick up a schedule of the free concerts and lectures celebrating our musical heritage. One may also obtain a schedule by going to www. infodepot.org. or calling the Landrum Library at 864-4572218. You’ll be glad you did. With my great respect to the Landrum Library staff, Miss Karen, Miss Nancy, Matt, Heah and pages Miss Leigh and Miss Karen T., as well as to supporters and docents and Friends of the Library.

Obamacare To the editor: There’s a video clip – going viral at the moment – of the president of Ireland unleashing his fury on a Tea Party member. Everything he said was enlightening, but one thing just resonated with me, and that was the issue of health care. In a recent letter to the editor, Frances Flynn eloquently outlined some of her thoughts on the matter. Her subjects were elderly relatives and someone who was stricken with polio at an early age, and how they have all received the support and care they need without having to worry about whether or not they can afford the care. I was delighted to become a grandmother three years ago, and would like to outline the services my family members, who live in London, received free of charge: • Full pre-natal care, including scans, regular check-ups, blood work, classes on the birth experience, breastfeeding and parenting

• Orientation visits at three hospitals in the area so the family could choose one for the delivery • Full hospital stay, including emergency C-section and all that it entails • Post-natal care, including post-Caesarean recovery, and midwife visits at home to monitor mother and baby • Monthly clinic visits to weigh and monitor the newborn and access to a doctor or nurse for advice on anything from feeding to post-natal depression • Free dental care for the mother while pregnant and free medication if needed On one of the home midwife visits, it was determined that my grandson was losing weight because of a feeding problem and he was hospitalized for two days until the problem was remedied. Again, no charge. All children under 16 and older than 60 receive free medication. Anyone over 16 - or under the age of 60 - pays the nominal fee of roughly $11 for

a prescription, although recent National Health Service figures determined that 88 percent of the population receive medication free of charge because of certain exemptions. My son, who has epilepsy, and couldn’t get reinsured in the U.S. once he lost his job and his COBRA coverage expired, gets his medication free. Oh, and by the way - all doctor visits are free. And if you don’t like what you’re getting and you can afford it, you can buy additional private coverage and decide when and if you want to use it. It does sound like a fairy tale, doesn’t it? Every American’s dream? Don’t get me wrong – it’s not a perfect system and things fall through the cracks and you may have to wait for non-emergency surgery. But getting back to the video and the part that is still resonating with me: Michael Higgins, president of Ireland, related that he’d lived in the mid-west many years ago and… “Frankly, the

idea that a person would not have one job, but two jobs, but three jobs and work all the light hours that are there and still not be entitled to the basic protection of fundamental care is so outrageous.” He went on to say that he didn’t necessarily agree with everything President Obama is doing, but he did agree on this most basic issue. “The idea of there being a social floor below which people wouldn’t fall – that’s the future,” he said. “I think that even the poorest people in the great country that is the United States should be entitled to basic health care.” (To see the full video clip, visit http://upwr.me/PfoWwi.) Obamacare is headed in the right direction – and would have been further into building that social floor if the president hadn’t been stymied at every turn by his opponents. But we’ve made a little progress. Let’s keep moving forward. – Monica Jones, Tryon

Foothills Humane Society (FHS) is announcing a new fund in honor of Champ, the well known local therapy dog that recently passed away at the age of 10. Champ was the official “spokesdog” for Foothills Humane Society, whose people and animals were always near and dear to his heart. He often attended the fundraising functions and festivals for the society and was recognized and loved by many in Polk County. He wrote letters and articles for and about the shelter for years, and spoke with pride of the shelter in his monthly column in the Tryon Daily Bulletin. Champ was found wandering the streets of Mississippi as a youngster, and was saved by Cathy Brooks of Mississippi Great Pyrenees Rescue. He had been eating garbage, had been hit by a car and was high heartworm posi-

TFAC auditions for high school actors Adaptation of ‘Twelfth Night’ Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) announces auditions Sept. 4-6 for high school students to cast the fourth annual fall educational tour. The 2012 production, directed by Marianne Carruth, is an adaptation of William Shakespeare’s popular comedy “Twelfth Night,” adapted for an audience of families and grades 3-12. This one-act version with music tells the story of mistaken identities, unrequited love tricks and goodhearted fun. Viola, shipwrecked and believing her identical twin brother to have been killed, disguises herself as a man and works for Count Orsino, who sends her to profess his love to the Countess Olivia. A classic love triangle ensues as Olivia falls in love with Viola’s male persona and Viola secretly falls in love with Orsino. Adding to the confusion are a self-centered servant, Olivia’s drunken uncle, a silly suitor, a clever handmaid and a wise fool – all of whom Viola carefully manages until her brother miraculously appears and further complicates the situation. Roles available: Five actors will play all parts. Casting three women and two men. Depending on the turnout for auditions, there will be two casts, one to tour S.C. schools and one to tour N.C. schools. All high school students are encouraged to audition. Previous experience is not necessary. Actors will read from the script and may be asked to improvise. Auditions will be held at the local high schools. All high school students are invited and encouraged to audition. If you do not attend one of the schools listed below, please call Tryon Fine Arts Center to arrange an audition.

Auditions are scheduled for: • Tuesday, Sept. 4, 3 p.m., Polk County High School • Wednesday, Sept. 5, 8:15 a.m., Chapman High School • Wednesday, Sept. 5, 11:30 a.m., Landrum High School • Callbacks will be Thursday, Sept. 6, 7:30 p.m. at the Tryon Fine Arts Center Rehearsals begin Sept. 9 and will take place regularly Sunday through Thursday at Tryon Fine Arts Center. The tour to elementary, middle and high schools will begin on Oct. 29 and close on Nov. 4. Presentations in Polk County and Spartanburg District One schools will be during the school day, with a public performance on Sunday, Nov. 4 at Tryon Fine Arts Center. Specific dates and venues are to be confirmed. For partial scripts and more information, call Tryon Fine Arts Center at 828-859-8322, ext. 213, or visit www.tryonarts.org. - article submitted by Marianne Carruth

West opened the Queen of Diamonds against what looks like an easy 4 Spade contract for declarer. With 5 Spades, at least 3 Clubs and 2 red suit Aces what could the problem be? Well for starters if declarer gets a 4-1 trump break, a possible Club suit blockage and an attacking Diamond suit defense he might have some interesting handling problems to overcome. If the defense leads Diamonds at every time they are in, it’s not unreasonable for declarer to go to bed with the Club 10, his 10th trick. Declarer will unsuccessfully finesse Clubs at trick 2, ruff the Diamond return reducing his trump holding to 4 cards, and pull 2 rounds of trumps getting the bad news on a 4-1 trump split. If he continues to draw the remaining trumps he will go down since he won’t

be able to get back to his hand to cash the Club 10. However, once declarer finds out about the bad trump break all he has to do is cash Ace of Clubs, noting the fall of the Club 9 from East’s hand, and then continue drawing trumps while discarding the Club Jack on his last trump. This unblocking play in Clubs would allow declarer to end up in his hand to be able to cash both the 10 and 8 of Clubs and bring home a well-played contract. Last Call For Enrollment: I will be teaching an eight week course on “ Defense and Play of the Hand.” The course will be held on Mondays from 9 - 11 a.m. starting on Sept. 10 and will end on Oct.29. Details on course outline and enrollment procedure can be obtained via email at darkmann@windstream. net or telephone 828-894-6322. Enrollment will be limited to 15 students, on a first enrolled basis.

Cover up…

Tryon Arts and Crafts School has announced Danielle Miller as the new silver instructor. Miller grew up in a steel mill town in the Laurel Highlands of western Pennsylvania and said her upbringing in beautiful rolling hills juxtaposed by bridges, railroads and industry greatly influences her design sensibility. Her work is geometric; often featuring mechanical and natural influences stripped down to their core shapes. At 18, Miller moved to Philadelphia to attend Moore College of Art and Design, intending to concentrate her studies in sculpture but becoming entranced by jewelry making. She transferred to Tyler School of Art/Temple University for its renowned jewelry/ metals department, from which she received a bachelor’s degree in fine art. After college Miller perfected her skills working under a master goldsmith. During this period she worked on her own designs at night and on weekends. In 1995, she participated in her first craft show and by 1998 was able to start her own business as a full time jewelry artist. Today, her jewelry designs can be seen in galleries
