L&L Services in Saluda opens to offer landscaping products by Mark Schmerling
Larry Oliver had operated successful landscaping and property management businesses in the Tryon area, and when he was ready to re-locate Saluda looked like a logical place. Now Larry and Lynette Oliver operate L&L Services, where they offer North Carolina and Tennessee building stones, boulders, river sand, masonry sand, mulch and similar products for masons and homeowners. “I noticed nothing (like this) between Tryon and Hendersonville,” said Larry, who had been a landscaper and property manager in the Tryon area for some 20 years, and who has had a masonry business for more than 12 years. L&L opened in Saluda this past February. Larry noted that the Tennessee stone is from Cookville, Tenn., while the North Carolina stone originates in various localities in western North Carolina. Those stones are becoming integral parts of many homes in this area. L&L goes beyond utilitarian products. One unique product is a stone table set with matching benches. Stone tables are fairly common, but this one sports a layer of river stones. L&L also cuts and installs stone birdbaths, fireplace mantels and stepping stones. While L&L can perform any type of masonry work, their

products are also available to others. “We supply some of the local rock masons,” noted Larry. Among their many offerings is a large supply of Belgard products, including retaining wall stones. L&L will soon carry pine straw, and plans to carry outdoor sinks. “Eventually, we hope to have a garden center,” said Larry. But, for now, if they don’t have a product in stock, they’ll find. “Whatever they need, we’ll get,” Oliver said.

Jeremy Kittel Band brings unique sound to Tryon Fine Arts Center Stage Tryon Fine Arts Center proudly presents the Jeremy Kittel Band, Thursday, April 18 at 8 p.m. Led by Celtic fiddler/jazz violinist “string wizard” Jeremy Kittel, the cutting edge acoustic string band is completed by three handpicked and highly acclaimed young musicians: Josh Pinkham, mandolin; Simon Chrisman, hammered dulcimer; and Nathaniel Smith, cello. Classically trained, Kittel grew up in the Irish, folk and jazz music scenes of Ann Arbor and Detroit. As a youth he traveled to Ireland and Scotland to further his studies of traditional music. By the age of 19 he had played at hundreds of festivals and stages across the country including the Kennedy
Center and Prairie Home Companion, and had released two highly acclaimed CDs. He completed his formal with a Masters in Jazz Violin from the Manhattan School of Music. Currently 24 years old, Kittel’s music cannot be limited by naming a single style. An avid collaborator, he performs with Jeremy Kittel Band as well as his own jazz band, tours with the grammy-winning Turtle Island Quartet, performs as a soloist with orchestras such as Detroit Symphony, composes his own music, and teaches with major string camps, including International Music Academy in the Czech Republic, Interlochen in Michigan, and the Swannannoa
Gathering in Asheville, N.C. to name a few. David Balkrishnan of Turtle Island String Quartet said, “Jeremy has a range of skills on the violin that rival any professional alternative string player in the country, bar none. In addition, he is mature well beyond his years, and an absolute pleasure to work with … keep an eye on this young man, he is truly something special.” The Jeremy Kittel Band is part of Tryon Fine Arts Center’s Main Stage season, sponsored by Millard and Company. The Kirby Fund at Polk County Community Foundation is the event sponsor. Reserved tickets can be purchased by calling 828-859-8322 or at the box office,

Communities matter at your library: celebrate National Library Week April 14-20 This week, the Polk County Public Library joins libraries in schools, campuses and communities nationwide in celebrating National Library Week, a time to highlight the value of libraries, librarians and library workers. Libraries today are more than repositories for books and other resources. Often the heart of their communities, campuses or schools, libraries are deeply committed to the places where their patrons live, work and study. Libraries are trusted places where everyone in the community can gather to reconnect and reengage with each other to enrich and shape the community and address local issues. Librarians work with elected officials, small business owners, students and the public at large to discover what their communities needs are and meet them. Whether through offering e-books and technology classes, materials for English-language learners, programs for job seekers or those to support early literacy, librarians listen to the community they serve, and they respond. The Polk County Public Library serves western North Carolina by providing books, magazines, audiobooks, movies,
storytimes, eBooks, free music downloads, meeting spaces, coming soon monthly music programs and more. “Service to the community has always been the focus of the library,” said Cindy Nanney, director. “While this aspect has never changed, libraries have grown and evolved in how they provide for the needs of every member of their community.”
The Polk County Public Library is celebrating National Library Week by recognizing that it takes more than one organization to make a community. “We all have our roles we play in providing services and information.” First sponsored in 1958, National Library Week is a national observance sponsored by the American Library Association (ALA) and libraries across the
country each April. For more information, visit the Polk County Public Library at Columbus and Saluda, call 828-894-8721 or see the library’s website at www.polklibrary.org.

Rotary International hosts exchange team from India The objective of Rotary International is the promotion of world peace, goodwill and understanding. One of the unique programs to support this effort is the sponsorship of the Group Study Exchange.
Each year Group Study Teams, comprised of professionals and business leaders, are selected to participate. This year’s teams were from India and the United States. The team from India visited Rotary Clubs in western North Carolina
and spent several days with their host families of the Rotary Club of Tryon. While here, they met with business leaders, toured local attractions, participated in a meeting of the local Rotary Club and attended a social gath-
ering with the Rotarians. Rotarian Andy Haynes leads the Group Study Exchange for Tryon’s Rotary Club and was assisted by members of the club in arranging for the visit. – article submitted by Bill Hilhouse

higher levels. On Sunday the trial includes a qualification round to enter the USDAA Grand Prix. The local qualifying events lead to regional championships, which entitle the dog to enter the USDAA World Championships. Another local qualifying event will be the USDAA Steeplechase, a two-round tournament with an emphasis on speed. The Dog Agility Steeplechase championships will be held later this year. Agility is a competitive team sport comprised of a handler and his or her dog. The object of agility is for the handler to navigate the dog through a timed obstacle course without the dog making a mistake. The agility course is comprised of jumps, weave poles, tunnels and climbing apparatuses. Agility rules focus on safety for the dog. The sport of
agility combines control, training and drive into a challenging game for both the handler and the dog. USDAA is the world’s largest independent authority for the sport of dog agility, with more than 25,000 registered competitors and more than 200 different breeds of dogs, including mix breeds. USDAA represents more than 100 affiliated groups throughout the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Bermuda and Japan. The Blue Ridge Agility Club hosts several trials during the year at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Center in Fletcher, N.C. These trials will be held on May 24 - 26, Dec. 13 - 15, 2013 and Jan. 17 - 19, 2014. For more information visit the web at www.blueridgeagility. com or call 828-713-3278. - article submitted
