by Leah Justice

Polk County Acting Clerk of Superior Court Pam Hyder (D) won the race to keep her position while other local democrats running for state offices lost during Tuesday’s election, according to unofficial election results.

Hyder received 5,453 votes compared to republican challenger Marche Pittman’s 4,626 votes.

“Thanks to everyone for their support,” Hyder said. “I look forward to continuing to serve as your clerk.”

Polk County Democrats Phil Feagan, who was running for the N.C. State Senate District 47 seat and George Alley, who was running for the N.C. House of Representative District 113 seat were both defeated.

Feagan won in Polk County,

Summey named honorary Tryon Beer Fest chairman Honorary chairman of the Tryon Beer Fest is Sam Summ e y. T h e area’s firstever event of its type will be held Nov. 10 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Tryon Depot Plaza. In the 1950s if you wanted a bicycle for your child or a fan belt for your car, you went to see Sam Summey at the Western Auto on Trade Street.

In the 1960s if you wanted a beer, you visited Sam’s Place, also on Trade Street. A few years later, if you wanted to stop at a different place, you might have had a beer at Sam’s No. 2 on Maple Street. Your 45-cents was good at either location. Also in the 1960s Summey might have delivered mail to your door.

Then in the 70s and 80s Summey was there to help you purchase a stamp at the Tryon Post Office. In 25 years with the USPS, he missed only three days of work. Until 2007, if you wanted your lawn mowed and bushes trimmed, you called Summey.

Following duty in the US Navy from 1940 to 1946 when he rose to the rank of Chief Petty Officer, Forest City native Summey moved to Tryon and worked at Adams Mill before his days as a retailer and postal worker. Summey and his wife of 63 years, Irene, who died in 2008, raised three Tryon High School grads, Sandra, Linda and Sherie in his home in Gillette Woods where he has lived for 57 years. For all his energetic work in Tryon, most friends recall Summey as the proprietor of two beer establishments — competing with each other for the blue-collar trade.

Sam Summey is one of the most popular owners of the tavern that has been a staple in the middle of Tryon since 1934.

The Tryon Beer Fest is pleased to honor a longtime citizen who has given so much in so many ways. If you don’t know Summey — he’ll be 91 this month — come to the event and meet the honorary chairman. Tickets are on sale at Tryon House and La Bouteille on Trade Street in Tryon and at Kathleen’s in Saluda. For details of the Tryon Beer Fest, visit tryonbeerfest. com.

Political pendulum swings in new direction As vote tallies came to a completion Tuesday night it became increasingly evident the local political sentiment had swung in a new direction from 2008.

With a total of 15,288 registered voters in Polk County, 10,542 or 68.96 percent cast ballots in this election. Among those voters were 2,960 straight ticket Republican voters and 2,516 Democrats voting straight tickets.

In 2008, area ballots mounted to give Republican candidate John McCain Polk County’s vote. Mitt Romney captured the county this election but what changed was the way people voted for local seats.

Four years ago Polk County offered Democrat commissioner candidates a sweep of open seats voting Ray Gasperson, Renée McDermott and Cindy Walker to the commission.

This year it was Republicans who grabbed votes of confidence.

Fueled by months of debate over the Unified Development Ordinance and the Mountain Ridgeline Protection Ordinance, Republicans took an advantage with voters concerned about property rights.

It was apparent this issue in particular struck a chord as it remained in letters to the editor and political ads leading up to the final day of voting.

This election became a heated battle as individual citizens put much of their personal money where their political leanings could bring certain candidates to the top through websites like www.polkcountyliberty. com and facebook pages such as Polk County Truth, advertising that bashed opponents, signs littering the county and more. Just like the national debates; election season got ugly in Polk County as people desperately sought to ensure their side grabbed power.

Voters on both sides voiced opinions but in the end it was Republicans who found their way to the top. Republican incumbent Tom Pack earned re-election, while Democrat incumbent Renée McDermott received the next to lowest vote total.

Also grabbing seats were Michael Gage and Keith Holbert over Emily Bartlett and Russell Mierop. The lone Democrat grabbing a position was Pam Hyder for clerk of court.

Many in the county will breathe a sigh of relief as the height of political season comes to an end but who knows if the political sentiment will turn itself again come four years from now.

to every county citizen, who ignored countless notices and articles in the Tryon Daily Bulletin (some on the front page), who did not come to the many county commission meetings, then showed up at the final hearing to torpedo a process that had been proceeding, in a democratic manner, for years.

This was a stark reminder of what is wrong with the political system in this country. And it happened right here in Polk County.

The UDO is the result of a long and very public process to give the county what its people said they wanted. It is certainly not perfect, and could be made better, but to frame it as a document which takes away our liberty and pursuit of happiness is distortion at best and politics at its worst.

I learned that beer is not the only thing that draws so many folks together. As the proclamation issued by the Tryon Town Council states, it is the conviviality, the sharing of an afternoon with friends, the jolliness and warmth of the experience.

I learned that the Tryon Downtown Development Association made a good call to originate the Tryon Beer Fest — this Saturday afternoon at the Depot Plaza.

Pondering is a wise first step.

Pace places 69th in state women’s golf Sports

by Leah Justice

Polk County’s Yancy Pace qualified for the state championship in women’s golf and finished the tournament 69th.

Women’s golf coach Ty Stott said Pace is just the third Wolverine women’s golfer to make it to the state championship in his 10 years of coaching. Former students Mary Hemphill and Kate Jansen did so before Pace. “(Pace) was one of only 14 players to qualify for individual spots from the western part of the state in 1A/2A classification,” Stott said.

Pace, a senior, averaged a 57 on nine holes for the season then shot a 102 at the regional tournament at Meadowbrook to qualify for the state tournament, held at Pinehurst.

Calmus Ensemble to perform at TFAC Calmus Ensemble Leipzig, renowned a cappella group, will perform at the Tryon Fine Arts Center on Thursday, Nov. 15, at 8 p.m.

This is the second concert of the Tryon Concert Association 2012-2013 season.

On Friday morning, Nov. 16 at 10-11 a.m., Calmus will lead a choral demonstration workshop at Holy Cross Episcopal Church, 150 Melrose Avenue, Tryon. This TCA outreach session, free and open to the public, will be in the church sanctuary. The singers will speak and perform excerpts from the previous evening’s performance. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of the session.

Calmus originally consisted of former members of the St. Thomas Boy’s Choir who formed a quintet in the late 1990s. After several years of performance, they were expanding their rep-

ertoire to include music that required a female voice in the upper register. They searched and soon found Anja Lipfert.

Since 2001, Anja has crowned the Ensemble’s sound with her bright soprano voice, cultivated during her years in the Children’s Choir of the Middle German State Radio Network.

The Calmus Ensemble’s stylistic variety is almost unlimited.

From music of the Gregorian period to contemporary sacred music, madrigals to rock – these singers from Leipzig are at home in all styles. They have a series of their own arrangements, as well as commissioned works in their repertoire.

The public is invited to attend the choral demonstration workshop at Holy Cross. For more information, please call Susie Mahnke, 828-859-9741.

Guided history hike at Alexander’s Ford Nov. 10 Join Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy (CMLC) this Saturday, Nov. 10 for a guided history hike through the Bradley Nature Preserve at Alexander’s Ford along the original path marched by the Overmountain Men in 1780.

During the hike, hear stories and history from local Alexander’s Ford project manager and historian Ambrose Mills during a leisurely out-and-back hike to the Green River. Total hiking distance is 2.5 miles. The hike is rated easy to moderate and has a total elevation change of about 200 feet.

Alexanders Ford, a natu-

rally and culturally significant property in Polk County, was forever protected by a CMLC conservation easement in 2011.

It was purchased by Polk County and opened to the public as the Bradley Nature Preserve at Alexander’s Ford, a park for visitors to enjoy biological treasures and timeless history.

The property hosts nearly 2 miles of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, the route followed by a Patriot militia during the Revolutionary War en route to the Battle at Kings Mountain. The militia defeated the British a few days after marching through

the property and camping on site at the banks of the Green River. Thomas Jefferson later referred to the battle as the “turning point of the American Revolution.”

CMLC protects land to benefit the quality of life of residents and visitors in Henderson, Transylvania, Polk and surrounding counties. Since 1994, the land trust has protected more than 23,000 acres of natural lands in area mountains. To reserve a spot on the hike, visit CMLC’s website at www.carolinamountain.org.

West led the 10 of Clubs against declarer’s 6 NT contract. Obviously declarer is in a very good contract.

However it’s not unreasonable to expect some declarers to reach a 6 Diamond contract which would result in an inferior score to 6 NT. With this in mind declarer realized it might be prudent to take some precautions to maximize his chances for bringing home his contract.

Upon a review of his winners he saw 12 tricks, assuming he could locate the Queen of Diamonds. If the Diamond suit breaks 2-1 there’s no problem.

However if the suit breaks 3-0 then declarer would have to determine which defender is more likely to hold all of the missing Diamonds. One could just guess which opponent might hold the Diamond Queen, but that’s just a 50% play. Good declarers like to increase their chances from a mere guess to a “calculated” guess.

Therefore in order to maximize his

chances on finding out which defender is “more likely” to hold 3 Diamonds declarer took a “discovery” approach to find out as much as possible about his opponents distribution. To execute a “discovery” approach declarer, after winning the opening lead, ducked a Spade in both hands; a play toward rectifying suit distribution.

He then cashed all of his black suit winners and in the process noted that East had shortness in the Spade suit.

This approach often indicates that the opponent showing shortness in one suit is the one to be most likely to hold more cards than his partner in another suit.

Therefore declarer cashed the Diamond Ace in dummy to see how the suit split and he was rewarded on his astute play when West turned out to be void. The ensuing finesse for the marked Queen brought home a well played slam.

WNC AgOptions grant deadline approaching Nov. 16 Mountain farm families will soon have an opportunity to apply for a grant to assist diversifying their farming activities.

Funding is obtained from N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission under the name of WNC Agricultural Options.

With support from the Tobacco Trust Fund, WNC AgOptions will review farmer proposal for a new round of $3,000 and $6,000 grants, for a total of $145,000. WNC AgOptions is accepting applications until Nov. 16.

WNC AgOptions, a program of NC Cooperative Extension and WNC Communities, con-

tinues its nine-year history of helping farmers diversify their businesses.

“There is no doubt that agriculture in Western North Carolina has become stronger because of WNC AgOptions and we expect the 2013 program to continue with outstanding applications from farmers hoping to keep their farms strong in these ever-changing times,” said Ross Young, Madison County extension director and WNC AgOptions steering committee leader.

The program awards farmers seed money to offset some of the risk of trying something new

and gives farmers the chance to demonstrate new farming techniques and marketing tactics.

Applications are available at www.wncagoptions.org and at local Cooperative Extension Centers. Interested applicants should contact their county extension agents before they apply. The Polk County Extension Center is located at 60 Gibson Street in Columbus. The application must be postmarked no later than Nov. 16.

This is the fourth year that Polk County has been eligible for the program. The WNC AgOptions steering committee strongly encourages eligible

farmers who have never received grant funding to apply.

For more information, see the following: WNC Agricultural Options: www.wncagoptions.org; N.C. Cooperative Extension Centers: www.ces. ncsu.edu; N.C. Tobacco Trust Fund Commission: www.tobaccotrustfund.org; WNC Communities: www.wnccommunities. org.
