Tryon considering property offer to expand cemetery Town to re-establish cemetery committee

by Leah Justice

Burials in the historic Tryon Cemetery are few and far between with the cemetery being 95 percent or better full.

The Town of Tryon recently received an offer to trade lots in order to expand its cemetery with council directing interim town manager Joey Davis to research the possibility.

Council met Feb. 19 and announced it had received an offer to trade lots the town owns for a piece of property contiguous to the cemetery, located off Markham Road.

After discussing concerns with a swap, council decided to reinstate its cemetery committee, which was established in 2003 to maintain the property. The committee was named in memory of the late Jules Larsen, who volunteered his time maintaining the cemetery.

Commissioner Roy Miller said there is a lady who is willing to sell the town the property adjoining the cemetery, which he said is probably at 95 percent or more capacity. Miller said he and commissioner George Baker looked at the property earlier on Feb. 19 and the town owns three lots the woman is interested in.

Town attorney Bailey Nager said if the town is going to

Tryon cemetery is currently almost full. A potential property trade could allow the town to expand. (photos by Leah Justice)

do a swap, one issue the town should be cautioned about is the property next to the cemetery has a house on it and there could be environmental issues with the house.

Baker said he has additional concerns, such as what the law may be about converting land into a cemetery and what permits may be necessary.

Sheriff requests public’s help to identifying person of interest The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying the female pictured at right. Investigators are working on a case involving numerous counts of identity theft and obtaining property under false pretense.

This woman is believed to have been frequenting businesses in Polk County in addition to Forest City and Spartanburg County, S.C. using a credit card not belonging to her. It is believed that the woman may have ties to the southern part of Polk County (the Green Creek community) based on where the card went missing and the purchases. The sheriff’s office was originally seeking two women, but got in touch with one woman and has declared her no longer a person of interest.

Anyone who may have information or be able to identify the person of interest is asked to contact Det/Sgt Randall R. Hodge with Polk County Sheriff’s Office at 828-894-3001.

The town doesn’t know exact records of its cemetery due to early records being lost in a fire that destroyed town hall in the 1950s.

The re-instated cemetery committee could be charged with creating an inventory of the cemetery.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said the town has had a committee for 10 years. Peoples suggested looking into the idea of the town selling new plots to people who want to be cremated.

Peoples also said if the house on the property is in any kind of shape the town may be able to give it to someone to live there and mow the grass and upkeep the cemetery.

Peoples said a guy once said to him you can tell how people treat people by how they treat their dead.

Council decided to get in touch with cemetery committee members to see if they are still interested in helping and have Davis research the possibility of trading for the land.

Tryon’s future requires strong, experienced leadership Two towns in our area currently have want ads out for new city and town administrators/managers.

The reasons these towns have vacancies differ greatly – one town’s administrator is retiring after eight years, while another fired its town manager after five months – both need strong leadership, but Tryon does in particular.

One Tryon official said the town wanted to “go in a different direction” with the town’s manager position. We believe citizens would like to know more about what that new direction is exactly.

The hope is the new direction would involve selecting someone with the ability to provide real leadership. Tryon needs a manager that can lead the town through difficult situations.

In a tough economy, towns need people at the helm with a thorough understanding of how government should work on a city level. Some might think leading a small town of about 1,700 people might not take any breadth of knowledge, but they would be wrong.

Over the last year the town of Tryon has dealt with budgetary issues, numerous sewer issues, rising water bills, an ABC store in debt, empty storefronts, a need to grow its tax base and, as of late, a general discord within its council.

A 2012 audit showed the town expended money that was not appropriated and failed to amend the budget to cover those expenditures. Tryon was over $53,132 in the police department, $23,184 for Harmon Field and $209,533 through the water plant, among others.

Tryon needs a manager willing to be tough when the situation calls for it. Tryon needs a manager with prudence to lead the town back to a balanced budget and the foresight to move the town into a brighter future.

Bringing in the right person for the job in Tryon will however require leadership now from council members and Mayor Alan Peoples. It’s imperative these men come together over the next two months to seek out exactly the right person to fill what should be recognized as a vital position in the town. Tryon’s future counts on it.

Gun control To the editor: Somehow, three important facts have never been mentioned in this discussion.

Assault weapon is a misnomer.

AR-type rifles are only semiautomatic, not the full auto weapons used by the military. They are no more dangerous in speed of shooting, accuracy or power than the typical hunting rifle with its pretty wooden stock.

Guns in America do much

Harmonious coexistence Obviously, the job of a wildlife officer is not to monitor, protect and study wildlife… and certainly not to educate the public so as to promote a safe and harmonious coexistence be-

more good than harm. The extensive studies of John Lott show that Americans use firearms to defend themselves every year more than 2 million times.

Most of the time, a gun is not discharged – just brandished.

To the editor: If the big city newspapers get any smaller, the Bulletin may be challenged to support its claim to be the “World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper!”

Some of us older folks cannot read the phone book or the funnies anymore because the print is too small. There is now a solution for the newspapers. If you subscribe to the “e-edition” of the Hendersonville Time-News you can just click

on the comic strip and a large copy of it will appear on your screen to be easily read without your bifocals or readers! Trouble is, the e-edition for Sunday does not include the comics or Parade magazine.

I realize that many of you intellectuals do not read the “funny papers,” but many of us lesser folk look forward to our daily treats like the unique and incomparable Peanuts, not to mention Beetle Bailey, Dagwood and For Better or Worse.

ready permitted, advocating the use of antiquated methods like trapping, at a larger scale.

Are the wildlife officers not in a position to offer other longlasting alternatives beside killing, which is irreversible?

Pet ownership, as well as land ownership and farming, demands dedication, acceptance of responsibilities, and requires commitment and thoughtful

studies to find solutions that are not “knee jerking” responses or “quick fixes.”

Offering people only trapping and hunting as options to safeguarding their way of life is a mockery of their intelligence, their love and dedication to their land and its beautiful diversity, and to their pledge as citizens of a nation under God’s care.

Women’s Leadership Network to host one-day conference “Educate, Empower and Execute” is the theme of the Women’s Leadership Network conference being held Saturday, March 2, in the Olin B. Sansbury, Jr., Campus Life Center at USC Upstate.

Dr. Denise Shaw, associate professor of English and Women’s Studies at USC Union is the keynote speaker. She specializes in Southern literature and the 20th Century American novel and is a two-time recipient of the USC Union Distinguished Teaching Award.

In addition, her research areas include women’s studies, as

well as American and Southern literature.

“We are excited to have Dr. Shaw as the keynote speaker for this year’s conference,” said Sarah C. Butler, USC Upstate instructor and counselor.

“Her areas of expertise and study will certainly enhance the focus of our theme, ‘Educate, Empower and Execute,’ and provide participants with much food for thought.”

Registration for all participants is required.

The WLN will donate half of the conference proceeds to the Foundation for Prader-

Willi Research (FPWR), this year’s selected philanthropy project. The mission of FPWR is to eliminate the challenges of Prader-Willi Syndrome through the advancement of research. Prader-Willi Syndrome is the most common known genetic cause of life-threatening obesity in children.

PCHS’ Vera heads to state wrestling tourney

by Mark Schmerling

Two years ago, as a sophomore, Polk County High School wrestler Juan Vera earned state runner-up honors.

Last year, he was hurt in the state tournament, while leading his opponent at the time 9-3, but was still a place winner, at sixth.

When the state tournament opens Thursday, Feb. 28 at 6:30 p.m. in Greensboro, the gifted and hardworking senior will be there, having qualified at last weekend’s regional tournament, even after injuring an ankle.

One of Vera’s biggest boosters is the Wolverines’ head coach, Phillip Miller.

“He’s been a heck of a high school wrestler,” Miller said. “Hopefully, he’ll be rewarded with the state title.”

As of now, Vera’s season record is 40-5, with three of those losses

coming during matches during which he was injured.

“That’s pretty decent,” was Miller’s understated assessment.

At the recent regional tournament, Vera won two matches, was hurt in his semi-final meet, and lost that one, dropping to the consolation semifinals. There “he sucked it up,” said Miller, “and wrestled that kid (Grant Barnette) from West Caldwell,” defeating Barnette, and earning a slot in the state tournament. At that point, Miller pulled Vera from the regional tournament, to give him a better chance to heal by Thursday.

Vera’s high school career has been marked by a brand of intensity that has kept him in every second of every match.

When not on the mat, he’s locked on the action, encouraging his

“He’s been a heck of a high school wrestler ... Hopefully, he’ll be rewarded with the state title” -- Bill Clinton

teammates, and motioning what they can do to out maneuver an opponent.

Now that Vera is Polk’s lone representative in the state tournament, they’re behind him as well.

“All of them are supporting him,” said Miller, who noted that several teammates will accompany Vera to the tournament.

Vera’s first match at state is against a wrestler from Croatan who is currently ranked third in the state.

Upstairs showcases winners of Upload smartphone photography show The Upstairs [artspace] in Tryon invites the public to check out the winners of the juried competition in Upload: Art of the Digital Camera Phone, before the final day of the exhibit on March 2.

Juror Colby Caldwell, a photography professor at St. Mary’s College in Maryland, selected an image called “Black and White Abstract” by Mark Flowers as Best in Show. Flowers, an art teacher and painter who divides his time between Pennsylvania and Asheville, said he took this image from a moving train, something he does to get ideas for his painting.

“This one seemed to be a painting, or what I would put in a painting,” he said.

Three other photographers – Bridget Conn and Gary Peeples of Asheville, and Eric Pettigrew of London, England – received honorable mention for their submissions to the juried show.

onstrate how smartphones have opened up a “new way of visual thinking,” Caldwell said. Smartphones give people cameras and editing tools they carry around in their pockets, he said, allowing them to catch moments and images

they see through their “peripheral vision” while going about their daily lives.

“Taking pictures was secondary to other activities,” Caldwell said, “such as watching kids, looking out a train window, or even looking at other art.”

Caldwell wasn’t the only one asked to judge the photos in the exhibit. Visitors to the gallery also were invited to pick their favorites.

The top vote getters are identified in the gallery, so visitors can see how their favorites compare to those of the rest of the public.

Upload was the gallery’s first exhibit of 2013. On March 8, the next three exhibits will go on display. In “Here. After.,” Asheville

artists Moni Hill, Alicia Armstrong, and Spencer Herr explore art’s role in the wake of tragedy. In “Southern Comfort,” photographer Ben Nixon documents the Southern landscape.

In “Older than Dirt,” potters Jim Cullen, Jim Cornell, Gary Huntoon, David Zacharias, Doug Dacey, John Turner and Claude Graves update an age-old medium.

There will be an opening reception from 5-8 p.m. March 9, preceded by a guided “walk and talk” tour at 4 p.m. For more information, call 828-859-2828, go to www.upstairsartspace.org, or visit the gallery at 49 S. Trade St., Tryon, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

West leads the Heart Ace against declarer’s 4 Spade contract and continues with another Heart. After East ruffs with the Spade 5 he continues with the King of Diamonds which is won by dummy’s Ace. Without the benefit of looking at all 4 hands, the question is how should declarer proceed. Obviously with the defense having won the first 2 tricks and declarer having no side suit losers all he has to is avoid losing 2 additional trump tricks.

Based on the bidding declarer is pretty sure that West holds the Ace of trumps so leading the King of trumps at this point would be a big mistake if West has all of the outstanding trumps. So what is declarer to do? Guessing is poor strategy and should be left for “card pushers”. So how can declarer find out just what is the most likely position of the opponents trump holding? Based

on what has transpired so far the answer lies in the Heart suit. All declarer has to do is lead the Heart Queen at trick 4 and see what East does. East is bound to ruff if he has another trump, since for all he knows declarer may be planning to discard a losing minor suit card on the Heart Queen. If East fails to ruff then it’s very reasonable for declarer to assume that West has all of the outstanding trumps. When East doesn’t ruff then declarer ruffs the Queen himself and runs the Spade 10 through West to trap his Jack.

The solution to the play of this hand was rather straight forward once declarer used clues from the bidding and the prior play of the hand to guide him to a preferred line of play.

This play technique shows up quite often, so it behooves you to use it whenever your faced with what appears to be a guessing situation.

Guild to host Youth Art Month exhibit at Chapman Cultural Center In recognition of Youth Art Month, the Artists’ Guild of Spartanburg will hold its Annual Focus on Youth Juried Show throughout March, in the Guild Gallery at Chapman Cultural Center in downtown Spartanburg.

National Youth Art Month began in 1961 as an annual observance each March to emphasize the value of art and art education for all children, and to encourage public support for quality school art programs.

Locally, this is the fifth year that artist and art teacher Robert Urban has curated this event for the guild and local high schools. Urban inherited curating this event from David Benson, who had been teaching art in Spartanburg County Schools since 1978 and was an active Guild member.

The mission of the guild is, “to cultivate, nurture and grow the visual arts in our community

by supporting local artists.

“Program planners of the Spartanburg Artists’ Guild made an excellent decision when they decided to pay homage to young fledgling artists by sponsoring a special exhibit just high school students and it has become one of the most celebrated events held at the Chapman Cultural Center,” Urban said.

Participating high schools in this exhibit are Boiling Springs, Broome, Byrnes, Byrnes Freshman Academy, Chapman, Chesnee, Dorman, Dorman Freshman Campus, Landrum, Spartanburg, Spartanburg Freshman Academy and Woodruff.

Teachers submit five entries from each class for a chance to be juried into the show. The juror will select about 40 out of 90 entries to be exhibited.

The juror this year is nationally recognized painter, Isabel Forbes.

Raised in Spartanburg, S.C., Forbes draws from a successful career in graphic design and illustration, coupled with a bachelor of fine arts degree from Florida’s Ringling College of Art & Design. Her artwork is included in the collections of Hallmark Cards, Inc.; First Federal Bank, Charleston, S.C.; and many private collections.

Forbes is actively involved in the guild and other arts organizations and contributes her talent and artwork to students and the community with passion and humility.

Several awards will be given to winning students at the Awards Ceremony on ArtWalk night.

First prize of $200 is sponsored

by Isabel Forbes, in memory and honor of her dear friend and colleague, artist Mary Ellen Suitt.

Second prize is $75, third prize is $50, fourth prize is $35, and two honorable mention awards will be

presented for $25 each.

There will also be a photography award for $50, sponsored by Thomas Tucker, and one art teacher will be honored with the David Benson “Service in Art Education” Award, which is sponsored by Beverly Knight.

Honorable mention awards are sponsored by the families of Susan West and Tom Willis, in honor and memory of their past service as art educators to high school students.

The exhibit is free to the public and will be open March 8-27. The awards ceremony and reception will be held on Thursday, March 21, during ArtWalk, at the Guild Gallery, 6-9 p.m., with the Awards Ceremony to commence at 7 p.m.

For more information, please call executive director Robin Els at 864-764-9568.

Evidently, many families chose to accept the stone, thinking that family members would remember that the date was incorrect. Unfortunately, after two or more generations, no one remembers the error, and future genealogists are thrown off in their research.

Names on tombstones are most often correct; not so, on numerous Census Reports, since Census takers were not highly educated people, and recorded names quite often by the way they sounded, rather than the way they were commonly spelled.

Oral histories handed down through generations are often repeated, very colorful, stories that are beloved by family members. As examples of factual accuracy in family history, however, they are usually the least reliable ... yet the most engaging.

FENCE property in good shape.

Recently, Price revealed one of the cabin’s secrets.

“More than 25 years ago I was hired by FENCE to install a sidewalk to the old cabin. Imagine my surprise when workers uncovered a very old, very huge, hand dug water well just off the corner of the cabin! That thing was at least 8 feet across and so deep I could not see the bottom,” Price said. “The well had a concrete block cover with an old electric wooden ram pump to get the water to the surface. All the well apparatus was no good and we pulled the pipe and other pieces out of the well and filled it in. It took more than 100 yards of sand to fill! I have never seen a well that large in my life.”

To learn more about the Kimberly Cabin go to the FENCE Center at 3381 Hunting Country Road, Tryon, or click on www. fence.org. To learn more about the PCCF, call 828-859-6122 or click on www.polkccf.org.
