we did was put this gorgeous stonework and seating in so you don’t have to sit on the grass during events like Super Saturday,” she said. It was no small task, however, as multiple local contractors pitched in on every aspect from installing 5,700 square feet of stone walls to form the 8-foot-wide walkway, which allows for better handicap accessibility from the parking lots to the forging of unique twisted metal handrails. Child acknowledged the vision of Rick Webel of Innocenti & Webel, who she said saw what could be done at the center to improve use for visitors and the beauty of the campus. Child also acknowledged Rebecca Barnes, who has served as president for the TFAC board, for providing the leadership necessary to see Phase I of the TFAC renovations to fruition. Phase I of the project also included repainting the outside

of the building, new lighting, the removal of three structures to open up greenspace and, of course, new landscaping.

The total price tag for the project came in at around $500,000. Child said information about Phase II of TFAC’s renovation plans will be

shared in the near future. To learn more about the project, visit www.tfacmasterplan.com or call 828-859-8322.

PCCF grant assists Upstairs Artspace with operating expenses The Upstairs Artspace has received a $17,000 grant from the Polk County Community Foundation to pay a portion of the gallery’s operating expenses in 2013. The Upstairs has been bringing innovative contemporary art to Tryon and the Foothills for 35 years, and presents a dozen or more exhibits annually. It also hosts a variety of programs such as guided “walk and talk” tours of new exhibits, as well as films, workshops and the annual Art Trek Tryon open-studio tour, which will be held on April 27 and 28, with a preview reception on April 26. “This grant will be a tremendous help to the Upstairs,” says Harold Maass, president of the nonprofit art gallery’s board of directors. “Ultimately, the whole community will benefit, because the foundation’s support will be felt all year, in everything the Upstairs does.” The Polk County Community Foundation supports a variety of charitable activities to improve the quality of life in Polk County and the surrounding area. Last year, the foundation provided funding for one of the most popular exhibits the Upstairs has held in recent years, Heated Exchange: Contemporary Encaustic. That show, the first of its kind in the south, was entirely devoted to encaustic art, an ancient technique using colorful wax. The foundation has provided support to a long list of nonprofit organizations, from the Tryon Little Theater to FENCE to the Upstairs Artspace, as well as popular events, including Super Saturday, the Saluda Arts Festival, Tryon gallery trots, and many more. “So many people come to this area and are bowled over that a small community like ours can sustain such a rich cultural life,” said Maass. “The Polk County Community Foundation is one of the reasons so many wonderful

local organizations are able to thrive here.” The foundation is located at 255 S. Trade St. in Tryon. For more information, visit its website (www.polkccf.org), call 828-859-5314, or email to foundation@polkccf.org. The Upstairs currently has three exhibits on display: “Here, After,” featuring the work of three Asheville painters exploring art’s role in the wake of tragedy; “Southern Comfort,” in which photographer Ben Nixon documents the Southern landscape; and “Older than Dirt,” in which six local potters update an old medium. For more information on the Upstairs, visit the gallery at 49 S. Trade St., Tryon, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, or call 828-859-2828. The gallery’s website, www. upstairsartspace.org, also has details about the current and past shows, as well as images of some of the art on display. – article submitted by Harold Maass

Partnership for Children receives grant to increase physical activity The Partnership for Children of the Foothills has received a $5,000 grant from the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC) Foundation to increase outdoor learning time and physical activity at three child care centers in McDowell, Rutherford and Polk counties. Little Wonders, Kid’s Kingdom and Tots and Toddlers will each complete a POEMS assessment, which measures the quality of the current playground, and will identify strategies for bringing more classroom activities outdoors. Technical assistants will help the centers reach their identified goals and increase outdoor learning time by 10-15 minutes a day by the end of the year. Small grants will be given to each center to purchase outdoor materials. The three centers impact 60 total 2- to 5-year-olds. “Evidence has shown that children who engage in regular

physical activity have fewer behavior problems in the classroom. Children are also more focused and learn more effectively outdoors,” said Barry Gold, executive director of the Partnership for Children. “By bringing some of the traditional indoor lesson plans outside and by increasing the amount of time spent outside either learning or engaged in free-play physical activities, these children will increase their daily physical activity and connection with nature.” “The Partnership for Children of the Foothills is aligned with our mission of improving the health and well-being of North Carolinians,” said Kathy Higgins, president of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina Foundation. “What they are doing to positively impact the health of our citizens is critical work and the results of their efforts will help people live

Fresh Food Show April 27 at ag center The community is invited on April 27 at 4 p.m. to be part of “The Fresh Food Show,” a fun and imaginative show about fresh food presented by The Art Farm, Slow Food Foothills and the Mill Spring Ag Center. Through music, puppets and live performance, this playful show about fresh food is sure to be a memorable experience for adults and kids alike. This event is by donation, no one will be turned away. All proceeds will go to The Art Farm and Mill Spring Ag Center’s Auditorium Refurbishment Fund. The Art Farm is a local, dedicated group of players, artisans and musicians who have come together to provide community-based, family-friendly productions that will inoculate the imagination. Part of their mission is to grow magic and hope throughout our

community. They hope to become a consistent pulse within the community acting as a host for after-school arts, community connectedness, and collaborative creative expression through folk theatre. This spring event will include a market with local, fresh food vendors selling delicious homemade or home grown treats promptly after the shows. Currently, The Art Farm is accepting applications for vendors. Contact Lisa Schactman at 828-899-7101 for any further questions regarding the event. If you have not yet seen a production in this historic auditorium or have not been out to see the Ag Center in a while, all are encouraged to visit for a self-guided tour during Ag Center store hours Monday - Friday 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. – article submitted by Mindy Wiener

healthier lives.” The Partnership for Children develops and funds programs that serve young children, their families, and the early childhood community. Technical assistance programs to child care facilities have focused recently on improving physical activity and nutrition, through center assessments, gardening projects, improving playgrounds, training for teachers and cooking classes. Five playground projects have been completed or are underway in Rutherford County, two in Polk, and eight in McDowell. Children who learn healthy eating and exercise habits at an early age are more likely to become healthy adults. Among children ages 2-4, the percent who are overweight or obese in the region is similar to the state average of 31.9 percent, with 28.1 percent in McDowell, 29.9 percent in Rutherford, and

What would Moses have missed if he had used a fire extinguisher on the burning bush? We know Moses didn’t have the kind of fire extinguisher that we are accustomed to using; but, he did have the same kind of fire extinguisher that we all have. Any time God is present to us and we don’t understand, the first temptation is to put out the fire. Of course we don’t necessarily perceive it as God – just a bush on fire. But Moses didn’t use a fire extinguisher – he moved closer to get a better look. And because he did, his life was changed forever. If we think about ordinary ground as holy ground, we realize there is no special place we have to go to have an experience with God. We may think

the biblical text tells us that we do – but it doesn’t. It says Moses led his flock to Horeb – another name for Mount Sinai – the mountain of God. But it was not known as the mountain of God until after this encounter. Until this experience it was just a mountain. Moses was carrying out his usual occupation of shepherding his father-in-law’s sheep – going about doing his ordinary job on an ordinary day in the way that he ordinarily did it. He had been doing this for years and years. Moses didn’t go there seeking an experience with God. He was looking for water for the sheep. I am convinced that a great problem in our living before God is that we are so easily (continued on page 9)

The emphasis in this story is not on the flash appeal of the bush.The emphasis is on the encounter with God. When Moses turned aside to see, it was the very presence of God he encountered. In our ordinary places of life, we are to be so fully present, that we instinctively know when to turn aside to see. Perhaps even in the midst of the everyday, necessary tasks of life, when we are fully present, we may hear God’s call. Any place may become holy ground, when we are focused and fully present and recognize that “invited or not, God shows up.” It is our responsibility “American Cuisine with a Twist” to Cornerfully of Peakpresent St. & Hwy. and to pay atbe 828-894-2440 108 in Columbus tention.

Heritage Crafts workshop scheduled for Thursday, May 2

Julie McIntyre will teach a beaded rope bracelet class. (photo submitted)

Have you talked with your loved ones about end-of-life wishes? Are you clear about Living Will? Healthcare Power of Attorney? Please join a panel of presenters (physician, attorney, chaplain, and social worker) for a conversation and planning session on end-of-life values and decisions.

Beginning in the 1950s, NC Cooperative Extension began offering handcraft workshops throughout western North Carolina. Many families in our area were knowledgeable and skilled in making quilts, baskets and other handcrafts in their homes. The extension workshops enabled the community to learn the invaluable skills and to market their crafts. This tradition of Heritage Crafts Skills is continuing today through the Polk County Extension Service. A Heritage Crafts Workshop will be held on Thursday, May 2 at the Mill Spring Agriculture Center from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. A variety of workshops will be offered including making a “J” Hook with one of our local blacksmiths; make a glass mosaic butterfly trivet and creating a beaded rope bracelet. These are just a few of the classes offered (there are small fees associated with each class): • Blacksmith “J” Hook taught by George Mathews • B u t t e r f l y C l a s s Tr i v e t taught by Dot Pierce

Learn blacksmithing from George Matthews. (photo submitted)

• B e a d e d R o p e b r a c e l e t taught by Julie McIntyre Also local crafters will demonstrate various crafts on the lawn of the ag center. Bring you lunch and stay all day. Snacks will be provided.

Meet two ICC (Polk Campus) Foundation New Century Scholars New Century Scholars is a program that selects three seventh graders annually and pledges to mentor them through high school graduation. If a scholar has maintained good school attendance, grades, and citizenship, remained drug and alcohol-free, and performed volunteer service hours, the program guarantees him or her a tuition-free, two-year education at Isothermal Community College. Two students who are seniors at Polk County High School (PCHS) have almost completed their six-year commitment in the New Century Scholars Program. Daniel Schoren, another senior previously featured in an article, is scheduled to graduate this year as well. His grandfather, Dick Armstrong, is a member of the Isothermal Community College (Polk Campus) Foundation Board. Now we’d like to introduce you to Lakeyah Simpson and Taylor Stapleton, seniors at PCHS and New Century Scholars. Lakeyah Simpson Q. What does it mean to you to be a New Century Scholar? A. It means that it is one of many opportunities and it is an honor. Q. What are your plans for the future? A. I hope to go to a four-year college and become a pediatric RN or a physician assistant. Q. Have you always wanted to attend college? If so, why? A. Yes. I want to make something of myself and I’ve always wanted to help people. Q. What are some of the volunteer activities in which you participate? A. I do most of my volunteer hours at my church through yard sales, canned food drives, etc. But, I also help with the blood drive and vision screenings for elementary schools.

Taylor Stapleton Q. What does it mean to you to be a New Century Scholar? A. It feels refreshing to know that I was noticed for my academics and hard work. Q. What are your plans for the future? A. My plans are to attend college and get a degree in dance and journalism. Q. Have you always wanted to attend college? If yes, why? A. Yes. I’ve always wanted to attend so I could pursue my dream job in dancing and journalism. I’ve taken journalism every semester during my four years in high school. Q. What are some of the volunteer activities in which you participate? A. I am the editor of the Polk County Yearbook and I am president of the Interact Club. As stated earlier, each of the students has a mentor who spends time guiding and listening to the student. One mentor is Barney Eiserloh who works with the juniors in the New Century Scholars program. “Being a mentor for these students has been a great educational experience for me, and I hope, for them. I understand much more the complexities of maturing, coping and adjusting in this rapidly changing world, compared to my own experience in school,” Eiserloh said. “I also appreciate our schools that continually strive to provide the right learning atmosphere. But the greatest joy is witnessing the students’ transformation toward adulthood by some magical catalyst.” Would you like to be part of a county-wide effort to guarantee selected students the mentoring and financial assistance they need so they can attend Isothermal Community College and be successful there?

TLT presents “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” April 18-21, 25-28

Paris, 1904. Albert Einstein (Joseph Clark, left) tries to explain a scientist’s perspective to artist Pablo Picasso (Tij D’Oyen): “We create a system and see if the facts can fit it, creating a new way of looking at the world!” Replies an unimpressed Picasso, “So you’re saying you dream the impossible and put it into effect?” Answers the pleased Einstein, “Exactly.” All in the Tryon Little Theater’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” to play the Workshop April 18-21 and 25-28.

Tryon Estates men’s outing to Walnut Grove

• Calendar (continued from page 2)

A senior men’s group from Tryon Estates recently visited the historic Walnut Grove Plantation in Roebuck, S.C. Zac Cunningham, director of the Walnut Grove Plantation and Historic Price House, hosted the group. The outing was led by Ralph Collins, a resident of Tryon Estates, and Tom Foster, a staff member. From the plantation’s literature: “Walnut Grove Plantation tells the stories of the free and enslaved people who settled South Carolina and the rest of Britain’s American colonies, fought for independence, and in the end built a new nation. Among the first to settle this area of the backcountry (as South Carolina’s tough western frontier was then called), Charles and Mary Moore established Walnut Grove on a 550-acre land grant about 1763.” The plantation and the area around it saw much conflict during the Revolutionary War. The plantation’s literature goes on to say: “Local militia troops mustered at Walnut Grove before joining American forces at the Bottle of Cowpens in January 1780.” The plantation’s buildings have been maintained in excellent condition and the group further heard stories from a reenactment frontiersman soldier from the period as shown in the photo. Following the tour the group enjoyed lunch at the Beacon Drive-In in Spartanburg before returning to Columbus. For further information about the plantation, visit spartanburghistory.org/walnutgrove.php. (photo submitted by Frank Collins)

Letter to the Editor

Additional notes from last music review To the editor:

The addendum I had included with my review of pianist Orion Weiss did not appear. Here it is again: Yesterday’s review was my last. It’s been an enjoyable effort for 18 years. There have been misconceptions about my role, so I’ll take this opportunity to

address them. I’ve never been an employee of the Tryon Daily Bulletin. A previous editor chose to present my reviews in column format to make clear I was writing opinion pieces. I’m grateful to the TDB for providing this helpful distinction and for publishing these criticisms in a timely manner. Reviews were first proposed as a way to generate interest in Tryon Concert Association’s series while educating listeners in a creative way. As the daughter of a TCA founder, I was already steeped in their mission and happy to oblige. I followed on the heels of the very

talented Lesley Oakes, another musician/writer in our midst. I’ve never been compensated by Tryon Concert Association. I’ve purchased my own tickets and made numerous unrestricted donations. I want to thank my readers for their compliments and for initiating provocative discussion when our paths crossed around town. And finally, I send a big thank you to my mother Elizabeth, the only living charter member of Tryon Concert Association, for her careful copyediting and for tempering my stridency on occasion. – Rita Landrum
