A 5-year-old Paul Reid stood in the kitchen of his family’s home in New England listening as his father recited Churchill and flipped flapjacks over the stove.

By age 10 he began devouring abridged biographies of men like Churchill and pouring over the World War II history books that filled his home.

Yet, Reid said it would never have occurred to him that one day he’d be propelled into completing the final volume of “The Last Lion,” William Manchester’s biographies on Churchill.

“It’s as if the most improbable string of dominoes fell one by one in different places and different times … and then here I am sitting in [Manchester’s] house in October 2003 and he’s just asked me to finish this book that I had been waiting [to read] too,” Reid said.

Reid can recall coming home to have dinner with his daughters in the 1980s, then pulling Manchester’s volumes from the shelves. It wouldn’t be until years later that the two men would meet.

While a feature writer for The Palm Beach Post, Reid began writing military features specifically on World War II vets. He’d write five to six vet stories a year and eventually this led to getting to know a core group of old marine pals who just happened to (Continued on page 5)

Tryon considers new septic tank dumping policy

T h e To w n o f Tr y o n i s considering changing its policy regarding pumping septic tanks belonging to in-town residents who do not have city sewer.

Currently Tryon pays to have

septic tanks pumped out, but is now questioning if that service should continue if the residents don’t pay a sewer fee.

Council met Nov. 20 and discussed the possible change to the ordinance but did not make

any concrete decisions on how to handle septic tanks.

Tryon Town Manager Caitlin Martin said the town pays for incity limit septic tanks estimated by

LIDAR effort catches speeders in Tryon, Columbus The Tryon and Columbus joint traffic operation on Friday, Dec. 7 allowed the two towns to run LIDAR (speed laser) on Trade Street in Tryon from 10 a.m. –noon and in Columbus on Mills Street between I-26 and Food Lion.

In Columbus four traffic citations were issued for speeds ranging from 40-42 mph in the 25 mph zone.

Police Chiefs Jeff Arrowood and Chris Beddingfield then moved to Peak Street between the

Columbus Fire Department and Miller Street where they issued five citations for speeds ranging from 40-47 mph in the 25 mph zone.

Beddingfield said the two utilized a LIDAR speed laser acquired from N.C. Governor’s Highway Safety Program. This operation was in conjunction with the beginning of N.C.G.H.S.P.’s Booze it and Lose it program.

question now is who is reimbursed; the renter or the landlord or if any reimbursement should be issued.

The town has experienced two residents since last year that discovered they’d been paying for sewer but actually had a septic tank. The first case was a woman who had been paying for sewer for approximately 21 years. State law says a town can reimburse the last two years of service, but Tryon decided to reimburse her for the past five years. The town also hooked the woman up to town sewer at no charge. The next case was discovered this year with a renter. The town has discussed creating a new policy regarding reimbursement since the second case involved the renter paying approximately $1,300 for sewer service over a few years and it costs approximately the same for the town to connect a residence to sewer. A sewer tap in Tryon is $850 plus the costs of pipe and labor.

Baker said last month he thinks the town should get out of reimbursing residents for sewer fees and has no problem hooking them up to town sewer for free.

Council directed town staff to draft an ordinance with a new policy concerning pumping septic tanks. Martin said this week she is still working on the ordinance and council plans to discuss the proposed ordinance during its Dec. 18 meeting.

(continued from page 1)

town public works director Joel Burrell at about $250 per tank.

Martin said there are approximately 150 Tryon residents who are not on town sewer.

The town’s ordinance mandates if sewer runs close enough to a property the resident must tie on. Tryon’s problem is there are several areas that sewer is not close by. The town has also faced an issue in recent years of residents discovering they have been paying for sewer for years without being connected to the town’s service.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said he has a problem pumping someone’s sewer if they aren’t paying any type of sewer fee.

Other council members mentioned an issue with some septic tanks having to be pumped out too often.

Councilman Roy Miller said the town should only pump out a septic tank once or twice every 10 to 20 years. Councilman George Baker said he agreed that it’s a different situation if the drain fill is faulty.

Council also discussed the issue of residents paying for sewer who don’t have town sewer. Miller said there’s currently a renter whose been paying for sewer for years. The town has now hooked up the residence to sewer but the

have served with Manchester in the war. The two men were introduced not long after Manchester suffered two strokes in 1998.

Manchester and Reid shared many commonalities – stints as feature writers, intense curiosities in history, fervor for the Boston Red Sox – the latter two of which brought them together.

In fact, Reid was watching the Red Sox with Manchester when the writer asked him to finish the final volume of Churchill’s biography.

Reid said Manchester, a former writer for The Baltimore Sun, wanted a newspaperman to finish his work.

“Bill Manchester could write a story and that’s what he wanted from me essentially,” Reid said. “I was just blockheaded enough not to feel a need to really examine this – I just said yes. Really, what are you going to say?”

The plan was originally for Reid to write the third volume

of Churchill’s biography and Manchester to edit it. At the time Reid said he knew it was unlikely Manchester would have the strength to do much swiping of his red pen.

Manchester still suffered the affects of two strokes and by April of 2004 learned he had stomach cancer. He would pass away later that year in June.

During the eight months between the time Manchester asked him to work on the project and Manchester’s death, Reid completed his writing audition for publishers Little, Brown.

No time was left to go over with Manchester his 5,000 tattered pages of notes – 1,000 on 1941 alone – nor the legendary writer’s cryptic method of note taking.

“He wrote the notes – they were for himself. They spoke to him, but they didn’t speak to me,” Reid said.

What they did though was give him perspective on they type of book Manchester intended to write.

With 1,000 pages covering the span of only two months during the 1940s, Reid knew Manchester

meant for this to be a long book.

So Reid scoured all the same sources Manchester referenced instead of trying to decipher Manchester’s notes little by little.

Reid got to work reading all of Manchester’s cited sources cover to cover for context. He read dozens of diaries and another dozen memoirs.

“His notes did serve a purpose – they were a launch pad for me.

They pointed me in the direction I was supposed to go,” Reid said.

“But notes don’t just turn into an engaging narrative. And if you stick too close to them [what you are writing] will turn into a high school chronology and that’s not what you want. You want to know what wine was he drinking, was it snowing outside? You want the details.”

Though both Churchill and Manchester loved metaphors and florid language, Reid knew he couldn’t attempt to copy Manchester’s style. He had to find a way to complete the volume in his own way but compliment the first two books that had been written three decades ago.

5 This would have been a monumental task for just about anyone, but Reid said he wasn’t intimidated.

“I told William Manchester I wouldn’t let him down. I told the publisher and I told myself I wouldn’t let the readers down,” Reid said. “If I didn’t let him down and I didn’t let readers down, then I feel good.”

And so far it appears he has not.

“The Last Lion” has spent four weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List and currently sits at No. 11.

Paul Reid Reid didn’t imagine himself a writer early on in life. He instead spent stints as a bluegrass musician, a bartender, a taxi driver, and in the end as the owner of a manufacturing company.

“I always enjoyed business and had a head for numbers,” Reid said.

That’s where he thought he would be going as a little boy - to (Continued on page 6)

work in business keeping inventory.

He followed this path and ended up with the opportunity to sell his business in his 40s.

A shift was taking place in his life then away from manufacturing, he said.

So, having no college education, Reid went back to school.

In the 90s his life led him to writing a twice-monthly column about politics for the Boston Globe.

Reid said he had never written a single word for publication until then.

Both from New England originally, Reid and his wife, Barbara, moved to south Florida for a newspaper job. About the time their kids were grown they felt South Florida had grown too crowded and were ready to move on.

The Reids drove all through the south looking for a new place to settle and call home.

One trip took them to the

Orchard Inn. Reid said they came back again and again as they fell in love with the area – it’s natural beauty and the people they met.

“We were ready for a change in several regards and it certainly was a nice place to write a book,” Reid said.

And that is about all Reid did for quite some time.

“I didn’t get out much – if I had gotten out more and done as much rafting on the Green River as I’d like to do and poked around the towns, then people would be mad at me because the book wouldn’t be finished,” he said. “So I think we were rather quiet neighbors.”

Reid now considers himself a “Polk County local.”

“I come downtown to Tryon because that is the closest and I love the coffee shop down the street - Bill and the folks there. I’m very proud to be able to go to the Book Shelf to do a signing or to Lanier Library.

This is my home,” Reid said.

Reid is set to sign copies of “The Last Lion” at The Book Shelf in Tryon Thursday, Dec. 13 at 5 p.m.

They are here! On Dec. 3 at 9:23 p.m. and 9:31 p.m. William Andrew Doty and Jacob Patrick Doty, weighing in at 5 pounds 1 ounce and 5 pounds 14 ounces, respectively, came into the world full-term, healthy and whole.

Thanks be to God for his blessings and for all your prayers and good wishes for Isaac, Christy, the babes, and grandad and grandma.

The twins spent only two nights in the hospital before being certified as fit to go home and so they are now safely ensconced in their shared crib while Eddie the pit bull and Maeb the border collie lie close checking on their every whimper. Eddie has already learned to cry on pitch with Andrew.

Sitting and waiting for news on the induced delivery process from 6 a.m. until 9:35 p.m. was a new adventure in prayer and reflection for me. Even though I do that sort of thing all the time as a pastor, when it involved family, and especially grandchildren, I found

my heart and mind being pushed and pulled, rattled and thrashed in ways I have never experienced. I was much more “together,” I think, when Isaac was born 28 years ago – but then I was right there with Pam the whole time and not cooling my heels in a chair created by the Marqui deSade School of Furniture Design.

The hospital in Cleveland, Tenn. is a baby hospital. The community is young and the delivery room, nursery and pediatrics area are right off the main lobby where the public can see the new babies lined up in neat rows at the viewing window. During our long vigil I counted six new babies being wheeled along by doting fathers from the delivery room, through the waiting room and into the nursery. Eight new lives entered the world that day from four different races and ethnic backgrounds, and we all oohed and aahed over every one of them as the proud new dads (continued on page 9)

BBBS donations receive foundation match by Dec. 15 Did you ever wonder how many lives would be changed for the better if more children, who often need guidance, actually had a mentor?

The goal of Big Brothers Big Sisters is to provide more screened and trained adult volunteers to match with area children.

None of this can be done without the community support. People must be willing to volunteer to help or to donate.

Caring adults who volunteer to spend time with a child twice a month, or one hour weekly in the school-based program, are the basis of Big Brothers Big Sisters.

teer “Bigs” there would be no mentoring taking place through the BBBS programs.

Secondly, financial support from the community is vital.

BBBS receives no government funding for mentoring services. The majority of funding is provided through fund-raising events, grants and the generosity of donors.

Each year Big Brothers Big Sisters and other local nonprofits must hold their hands out to area citizens asking for contributions.

Unitarians gather to discuss focus on Solstice celebrations The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. at 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 16.

Reverend Jean Rowe will speak on the topic, “What Gift Can We Bring? A Solstice Celebration.”

The frenzy that was Black Friday this year – in preparation for the upcoming holy days – was amazingly unholy. William Wordsworth, the English poet, laments this behavior: “The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!”

What gift can we bring to this season? What present, what token?

Perhaps it is the gift of presence, not presents. Gifts of the season are meant to convey thanks and delight; they are

not meant to impress. Gifts of the season are meant to reflect the person of the giver, his or her presence.

For this service of light and dark, and the simple birth of hope in a troubled world, you are invited to bring a wrapped re-gift.

A small something that has meaning for you that you can gift to another. And we will celebrate what gifts we bring to the wider world through our presence in it.”

This service, the last of this year, will also include a potluck lunch. Members of the board will provide the main dishes. Participants are asked to bring a vegetable dish, salad or dessert. Please provide your own silverware, plate and cup.

For information, call 8945776 or go to our website at uutryonnc.org.

are less likely to begin using drugs and alcohol, have improved behavior and relationships, their grades improve and their life skills are enhanced. A strong mentoring relationship helps empower children to succeed, putting them on a path to a brighter future.

Now is the perfect time to consider making a year-end taxdeductible contribution. A donation can help make and maintain matches with Bigs and Littles, to positively impact the lives of children in our community. Big Brothers Big Sisters is sustained by those who volunteer and donate to make such a difference.

Live nativity at Tryon United Methodist 0tfn3tue - page 2

For two beautiful, quiet hours in the midst of the Christmas bustle each year, the Godshaw Hill neighborhood surrounding Tryon United Methodist Church experiences a living portrayal of

the holy event that has been the subject of art, music and worship for the past 2,000 years.

The church will offer the live nativity again this year on Saturday, Dec. 15, from 5-7 p.m.

Everyone is invited to drive up New Market Road and linger for a bit. On this good night, neighborhood has no boundaries.

Care Kitchen to serve through holiday season At the Polk Baptist Association (PBA) “Care Kitchen” not all the cooks are ladies. Several men help by preparing delicious dishes.

One such cook is Larry Sain who can beat out the lady cooks every time with his top-of-thestove Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. Sain is very specific when sharing his recipe because for perfect results, these instructions and his secrets must be followed: CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

*Always a hit at PBA Care Kitchen 2 cups sugar 3 Tablespoons cocoa ½ cup milk

1 stick Blue Bonnet margarine (regular, not whipped) and only that brand Directions: Mix these ingredients in a sauce pan and boil for exactly 1-1/2 minutes (no more, no less after boiling begins - careful not to scorch) Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring and ½ cup peanut butter. Stir until peanut butter is blended in. Add 3-1/2 cups dry oatmeal. Mix well and spoon onto wax paper. (Have wax paper ready before starting) Prepare only 1 batch at the time.

Makes 24 to 28 cookies.

The Care Kitchen is grateful for all volunteers and donations.

At the present time they are being blessed with the collection of non-perishable food and paper products by Mountain First Bank and the Polk County Recycling efforts.

These kind-hearted people delivered many items this week and will continue collecting in boxes at their locations.

Coats and sweaters are being accepted and distributed to those in need at the Care Kitchen location at 208 Blanton Street, Columbus, in the lower level of PBA. Meals are served from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. every Friday.

All are welcome.
