amazing,” said Ollis, who for many years has organized the Henderson County Special Olympics. “The whole point was for the athletes to have a good time and they did.” Led by the Polk County Honor Guard, participants marched in an opening ceremony to the cheers of bleachers filled with Polk County High School students, staff and parents. Participant Alex Sluder ran in the torch with law enforcement officials Seth Watkins, Jesse Chavez, Scott Hamby, Jason Sama and Michael Wheeler by his side. After the ceremonial lighting of the torch, each athlete broke off from their teams to start their first competitions. On the track athletes could compete in the 200-meter run, 400-meter run, 200-meter walk, 4x100 relay, 4x400 relay and wheelchair races, among other events. On the field they tried their hands at the tennis ball throw, softball throw and shot put. Athletes could also test their ability to jump in the long jump event. PCHS students provided their help by running the events and escorting athletes to each event. The students did this as part of Project Unify, an effort launched by Special Olympics to foster respect, dignity and advocacy for people with intellectual disabilities. Bringing community members together in educational and athletic events, such as the Special Olympics spring games, further encourages this message. Ollis said she hopes this year’s Special Olympics event would serve as a launching point for more volunteers to offer their time. “We want to have Special Olympics sports available to our athletes throughout the year,” Ollis said. “All it takes is someone coming forward and saying they are open to

helping lead a sport – it could be cheerleading, basketball, bocce bawl.” According to the Special Olympics of North Carolina website, athletes age 8 and above can compete in one of the 19 Olympic-style sports available in the state. Athletes typically train for eight weeks with one to two practices per

week. Those sports include basketball and cheerleading, bocce ball, bowling, equestrian, golf, cycling, gymnastics, powerlifting, roller skating, soccer, tennis, volleyball, aquatics and more. For more information on how to get involved as an athlete, coach or volunteer, visit www.sonc.net.

Homer C. Carder Homer Clint Carder Jr., 91, of Columbus, passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 24, 2013. He was a resident of Tryon Estates. Mr. Carder was born in Tarrant, Ala. on March 2, l922. He was the son of Homer C. Carder and Lex Ingram Carder. Like his father, brother and sister he graduated from Auburn University. He earned a degree in chemical engineering in 1943. He was active in the ROTC and was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity. Shortly after graduation Mr. Carder joined the United States Army and served as an Air Observation pilot for the 209th Field Artillery Battalion. He saw action in the European, African and Middle Eastern Theaters before his discharge from active duty in 1946 as a First Lieutenant. Upon completion of his military service, Mr. Carder joined the Monsanto Chemical Company in 1946. He had a very successful career at Monsanto, the only job he ever had, eventually retiring from that company in 1982 as a senior executive in St. Louis, Mo. He traveled the world for Monsanto advising on new plant construction, including visits to Russia and China during the midst of the Cold War. In 1983 he moved from St. Louis to Tryon, with his wife Nadine L. “Wendy” Carder. Mr. Carder enjoyed a passion for golf and they built a home in Red Fox Country Club adjacent to the 13th green. He had a very active retirement, working first for H & R Block, and then volunteering extensively. He was president of the American Heart Association of Polk County, a mediator in family and civil disputes, and a director in the Rotary. He served two terms as president of the Congregation of The Congregational Church UCC of Tryon. Appropriately he was awarded Tryon’s “Second Wind Hall of Fame” for his extensive volunteer efforts. He and Wendy were avid gourmets and traveled to Europe where

they were trained in the culinary arts at world-renown cooking schools. They loved to entertain and had many parties focusing on their cooking and fine wines. Mr. Carder was a Certified Barbecue Judge and traveled regionally to competitions. Mr. Carder is survived by his wife of 46 years, Wendy Carder; a son, Stephen Carder, of South Pasadena, Fla.; a sister, Sue Chichester of Spanish Fort, Ala.; stepsons, Greg Bowcott of San Diego, Cali. and Randy Bowcott of Waukegan, Ill.; three grandsons, one granddaughter, two great-grandsons, and several nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his parents; his brother, Eugene D. Carder and daughter, Carolyn Carder. Burial services will be private. A Celebration of Life honoring Mr. Carder will take place on May 4 at 4 p.m. at Tryon Estates in Columbus, with a reception to follow. The family suggests that memorial tributes be made to The Alzheimer’s Association, The Hospice of the Carolina Foothills or The Congregational Church UCC, Tryon.

Special Olympics – good for your heart, good for our community An inspiring thing happened at Polk County High School Tuesday, April 30. For the first time in more than a handful of years, community members from around the county joined on Polk County High School’s football field to host the county’s Special Olympics spring games. Seeing so many people come together to make others feel special was overwhelming. To think those people didn’t even know that’s what they were doing was more awe-inspiring. You see it really isn’t the “volunteers” who change lives through Special Olympics. Ask just about anyone who’s ever handed out a ribbon, called runners to the starting line or offered water to an athlete, and they will tell you it’s the participants of Special Olympics who make the real impact. Their enthusiasm for life is powerful. Each athlete on the field showed support for their peers, appreciation for those helping them and unabated joy at playing the game. We should applaud Jane and Bruce Ollis, who fostered this event by pulling Polk County high school students together to ensure athletes of all abilities had their turn on the field. Not only did they lead this event, but they are also supporting students in Project Unify, an effort to promote respect and advocacy for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Jane said she hopes the Special Olympics’ spring games serves as a catalyst for Special Olympics sports to be held in Polk County throughout the year. Why does it matter if these individuals participate in sports? If you had been on the field Tuesday you would have seen the answer for yourself. These individuals have something vital to give our community. Their pureness of spirit leads to great things and we should support them every chance we get. Many of the individuals standing atop the winners’ podiums contribute to this community through their work at Polk Vocational Services, their service in Polk County’s Aktion Club and their participation in school and church. We make a difference by supporting and encouraging them. – Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Good things from approval of the White Oak Equestrian Development

To the editor: We’re all hoping that good things come to Polk County along with the just-approved White Oak Equestrian Development. There should be many jobs for Polk County people. I’m told that Roger Smith has been very good about using Polk County craftsmen and mate- Letter rials in other build- to the ing projects in the Editor area in the 10 years he’s lived here. The equestrian development should also bring long-awaited things for the kids to do. That should be especially true if the developers bring to Polk County the “Saturday Night Lights” entertainment that they’ve brought to the Wellington, Fla. equestrian community. In addition, developer Mark Bellissimo explained at the planning board meeting, where the project was first unanimously approved, that in Wellington, they have a charitable giving program that raises money for local charities from the people who come to participate in and watch the many equestrian events. I’m hoping that Mr. Bellissimo will follow through and bring that wonderful program to Polk County, providing much needed new infusions of charitable giving for our fine local charities, especially those that help the less fortunate in our community. All of these sound like good ideas. But something else good, some other good ideas, came

with the approval of the White Oak equestrian development. The new board of commissioners has finally found a situation in which they not only agreed with, but also promoted, sensible regulation. After voting down noise controls perhaps eight years ago, and after heavily criticizing and voting down noise controls, lighting controls and vegetative buffers (screening) when they were proposed in the Unified Development Ordinance, our current board of commissioners actually requested all those things regarding the equestrian development. They required noise limitations during the day and stronger limitations overnight. They required controlled lighting that shines down on what is to be lighted and does not stray offsite to neighboring properties or up into the sky. And they required a 100’ setback between the proposed RV park and neighboring properties, as well as a berm with vegetation on top or a higher vegetative buffer if no berm is used. These can now be great precedents that our new board of commissioners, themselves, unanimously required. Let’s hope that our commissioners’ new understanding and acceptance of reasonable, neighborly protections for our community becomes the great step forward that they can be. And Mr. Bellissimo, if mean, stuffy ‘ol Mr. Jacobs doesn’t want that beautiful carousel in Wellington, please bring it up here to Polk County. We sure could have a lot of fun with it here. - Renée McDermott, Tryon

been done. I was even more impressed than I was with the drawings of the plan when I first saw them a year or more ago. The expanded onsite parking has been needed for so long and the plan does an exceptional job of getting the maximum utilization of the available space. And in addition, the changes make the baptist church parking lot much more convenient and available for TFAC events.

There is nothing attractive about an asphalt-surfaced parking area, but the plan and terrain hides it to the extent possible. I also was favorably impressed with the outdoor theater now that I see it constructed. Over all, it is an excellent plan from, which TFAC and the community will benefit for many years. As I recall there is an additional phase of the plan, which consists of a glass enclosed addition to the lower rear level

of the building adjacent to the Farwell Garden. Such a space would be a good addition to the facility and would be helpful in making the Farwell Garden area more usable. The board’s stated policy of making no major renovations or additions beyond the available funds is one the community supports and admires. I look forward to hearing more about Phase II. - Clyde Kaericher

know and love this music, probably because they have not heard it. Later that evening, Fran found an infomercial on the TV selling a huge CD set of rock and roll music from the 50s. One of the hosts, a former disc jockey, kept saying that R&R changed music forever. It sure did! But even that sounds a lot better to me now than it did when it was making headway on the Hit Parade.

The Hit Parade radio show has been displaced by the visual entertainment of Dancing with the Stars. There are almost no radio stations playing music older than last week’s offerings now . . . The DJ’s job is to sell the new stuff, not to keep older “standards” alive. We heard “Stardust” and “In the Still of the Night” . . . Can they be heard anywhere else? Our school system has bands with kids learning to read and

play music. The colleges are turning out musicians by the thousands, but for what? Will they be able to make a living, or just be a small minority trying to keep real music alive? Quality grand pianos are still selling well, as are band instruments. Maybe things are not as bad as I think. I hope so! Will some of you younger people reassure me? – Garland Goodwin, Columbus

A Streetcar Named Desire opens at Spartanburg Little Theatre The Spartanburg Little Theatre’s 2012-2013 season wraps up with the sultry Tennessee Williams drama A Streetcar Named Desire. On stage for six performances from May 3-12 at the Chapman Cultural Center, A Streetcar Named Desire is a true American classic, most well known to audiences through its 1951 film version starring Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh. One of the iconic masterpieces of American theatre, Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire follows the fading, but still attractive southern belle Blanche Du Bois as she arrives unexpectedly on the doorstep of her sister, Stella, and her brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. Over the course of one hot, sultry New Orleans summer, Blanche’s fragile facade slowly crumbles as she meets her match in the rough-hewn, brutish, and sensual Stanley, who sees through her and is determined to expose her. “We don’t often have the opportunity to produce a true classic drama,” said SLT’s Executive Artistic Director Jay Coffman. “It’s exciting to be able to give the actors and the audience something to sink their teeth into.” Directed by veteran director Dan Harvey, A Streetcar Named Desire features an amazing cast of Upstate actors led by Lee Neibert as Stanley Kowalski, Alaina Steading as Blanche Dubois and Harmonie Skipper as Stella Kowalski. “This cast is immensely talented,” said Coffman. “Tennessee Williams fans will definitely not be disappointed, and the casual theatre-goer might just discover a new favorite.” Tickets for A Streetcar Named Desire can be purchased by calling the Chapman Cultural Center box office at 864-542-2787 or by ordering online at www.chapmanculturalcenter.org. – article submitted by Steve Wong

Polk girls soccer loses to Owen, faces Hendersonville next Sports by Chris Hurst

Following a 0-2 loss to Owen on Monday night, April 29, today’s game becomes a must win for Polk County. “We have to beat Hendersonville, and then somebody has to beat or tie Owen for us to win our conference,” Polk county varsity girls soccer Coach Lennox Charles said after the game. “If we would have won tonight, winning the conference title would be in our hands. Now we have to beat Hendersonville on Wednesday, and wait to see the outcome of the Hendersonville and Owen game on Friday.” It was a tough blow for the Wolverines, coming off a 3-0 victory against Mitchell Thursday, April 25. “Owen was just better tonight,” Charles said, “although we did better in the second half, in the first half, Owen would beat us to the ball almost every time.” Owen also kept Polk from using their speed. “Whenever Owen turned the ball over, three defenders would automatically drop back, making it extremely difficult for us to get any shots off,” Coach Charles said. “Last time we played them, we were able to get behind them easily. They took steps tonight to make sure that didn’t happen.” Despite the loss, aspects of the game and the Lady Wolverines’ effort pleased Coach Charles. “Talia Petoia isn’t a starter, but whenever she goes in she really gives it her all, and she did that tonight,” he said. “She helped out all night. I didn’t sub her out in the second, because she has a great energy and she gave us a lift tonight.” Injuries plagued Polk. Jordan Geer was out with a concussion, and Samantha Firby had to leave the game during the second half. “We think it was just overexertion with Sam tonight,” Coach Charles said. “She was really effective when she was out there, she

was causing all sorts of problems for Owen, and it hurt when she came out.” Charles said he hopes the team takes away enough from the loss to be prepared for Hendersonville.

“Winning the conference is still in our sights, but only if we do our part first,” coach Charles concluded, “tonight was better than any practice we could have done on our own, and hopefully it’ll help

us get ready for Hendersonville.” Polk’s games against Hendersonville will be played at different times than previously reported. JV will kick off at 4 p.m., with varsity following at 6.

The event offers three options for PACWalkers: a mile-long amble around the lake, a more challenging 2-mile hike around the lake and through the woods or you can choose to support

PAC/PACWalk and walk in spirit by becoming a “phantom walker.” “This year’s course is extremely beautiful,” comments PAC President Elizabeth “Dibbit” Lamb. “PAC is grateful to Tryon Estates for hosting this event.” This will be the ninth year the ACTS retirement commu-

nity has mounted a full-fledged, grass roots campaign to make the Pacolet Area Conservancy’s spring fundraiser a success. The staff and residents of Tryon Estates have raised more than $5,000 PACWalk dollars each of the past several years, “putting PACWalk over the top,” according to Lamb. “These dedicated citizens have ‘owned’

conservation, and PACWalk is the event to provide the forum for that.” “The altruistic spirit embraced by both staff and residents of Tryon Estates is inspiring and amazing,” emphasizes Pam Torlina, land protection specialist for the Pacolet Area (Continued on page 25)

Conservancy. The relationship between PAC and Tryon Estates started in 2004 when resident Bob Dockendorf called PAC to see if the organization would be receptive to having Tryon Estates take up the cause of conservation through the very first PACWalk. “Of course we were thrilled,” says Carole Bartol, immediate past president of the board of directors of PAC, “but we had no idea that they would turn out by the busload to walk, to cheer others, and to make a visible statement that our natural environment is important to preserve for future generations.” Since the inception of PACWalk, three years ago another event was added, PACRun, a 5K Trail Run on the Tryon Estates grounds. The run has increased in popularity and promises a challenging, yet beautiful run

resources (PAC’s mission). PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agreements) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain significant federal, state and local tax benefits. PAC’s vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural resources and or goal is to provide a legacy that will endure and be valued by generations to come. PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conservation and provide education programs emphasizing native species appreciation and responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love. - article submitted by Pam Torlina

Waterfalls in Polk County, presentation at Polk County Historical Association May 7 McComas speaks at Polk County Historical Association meeting There are few things more refreshing on a hot summer day than cool, splashing water cascading down a waterfall. “Western North Carolina has more waterfalls than most people will see in a lifetime,” says Rob McComas, guest speaker at the May 7 meeting of the Polk County Historical Association. Uniquely located in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Polk County has many beautiful waterfalls. Some are well known, such as Pearson’s, Shunk-

awakan and the two Bradley Falls; others are unnamed and secluded. Tourist maps have no location or directions to these little wonders of nature. However, in searching for fishing spots for his fishing guide business, McComas has discovered many enchanting “secret waterfalls.” Join us when McComas delights us with stories and pictures of the wellknown and unknown waterfalls in Polk County. The historical association meeting will be held at 2:30 p.m. May 7 at the Polk County Museum in Columbus. - article submitted by George Comparetto

Slow Food Foothills second annual spring fundraiser May 19 Last year’s Spring fundraiser was such a success that Slow Food Foothills has decided a repeat is in order. On Sunday, May 19, Overmountain Vineyards & Winery will host the second annual Slow Food Spring Fundraiser from 4-8 p.m. A casual gourmet buffet will be provided by Suzanne Strickland of Stone Soup and Overmountain Vineyard and Winery will pour tastings, wine by the glass and by the bottle. Bottle Tree Beer will also be available

for purchase. Following the meal, North Carolina’s favorite Gigi Dover & the Big Love will perform with the mountains as a backdrop to the sprawling grapevines in one of Polk County’s most beautiful settings. Another highlight to the evening will be the second annual silent auction. Come help Slow Food earn money to fund future projects for its Slow Food in Schools program and other community events. Many generous donations have already been

made but Slow Food is still actively seeking more items. Tickets can be purchased on line through brown paper tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com or at Overmountain Winery and La Bouteille. Last year’s event was sold out and availability is on a first come, first serve basis. Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization with members in 150 countries and 1,300 volunteer-led chapters around the world. The organization was founded in 1989 to counter the

rise of fast global programs and the disappearance of local food cultures with campaigns that pursue the vision of a world where everyone can enjoy food. Today, the group promotes local and national food that is good for us, good for farmers and workers, and good for the planet.
