The American Legion Auxiliary will celebrate Poppy Day on Friday morning, May 31. Auxiliary members will sell paper poppies at the Columbus and Tryon post offices, at IGA, at Food Lion in Columbus and at Deb’s Mini Mart in Mill Spring. Auxiliary members ask people to wear poppies to honor of both living and deceased veterans. The money raised is used to help veterans locally and nationally. These men and women have fought valiantly for our country and wearing a poppy to remember them is such a small favor to ask.

PCHS Green Team teaches environmental awareness to elementary students On May 1-2, Polk County High School’s Green Team members participated in a recycling and conservation presentation at the county’s elementary schools. Tryon’s park committee generously provided 200 seedlings, which allowed Green Team leadership (Ben Stockdale, Mason Umlauf and Emily Kocher) and other members to complete their second annual Earth Day awareness presentation. Using fun and engaging activities, the members helped educate elementary students across the county about the need for proper recycling, the importance of Polk County’s recycling program and emphasized overall environmental awareness. At the end of the presentation, members handed out pine seedlings to the elementary students that were ready for them to plant at home. John Vining helped acquire the seedlings. – article submitted by Joel Picher

A manufactured home includes any structure that meets all of the requirements of this subsection except the size requirements and with respect to which the manufacturer voluntarily files a certification required by the Secretary of HUD and complies with the standards established under the Act. Further, a label in the form of a certification is required by HUD to be permanently affixed to each transportable section of the manufactured home,” states Saluda’s draft definition. The Saluda Planning Board also sent recommendations to commissioners on definitions for boarding house, junk, junkyard, modular homes, motels and hotels and rooming house as well as a recommendation to amend the sign and outdoor advertising section of the ordinance. The rest of the planning board’s recommendations were sent back for further consideration. Commissioner Lynn Cass said she wants more specifics in the definitions for boarding and rooming houses. Other commissioners expressed concern over the sign amendment recommendation, which is being proposed for signs in C business districts.

tions from its planning board and decided to go forward with public hearings for the gardening exemption and manufactured home definition. Commissioners scheduled a public hearing regarding these factors for its June 10 meeting, which begins at 7 p.m. The draft exemption to the land disturbing activity currently states, “home gardens, community gardens, home landscaping or lawn preparation on existing lots and parcels shall be exempt from permitting fees unless erosion, drainage and slope stabilization concerns necessitate a land disturbance permit as required in Section 3.10 of the city ordinance when determined by the zoning administrator.” Commissioner George Sweet said he thinks the exemption for gardens and landscaping is in accordance with the city’s intent. He said people technically need a permit and “we didn’t think they should have to get one.” The draft manufactured home definition can be found in the N.C. General Statutes 143-145(7). “It is a structure, transportable in one or more sections, which in the traveling mode is eight feet or more in width, 40 body feet or more in length, or, when erected on site, is 320 or more square feet; and which is built on a permanent chassis and designed

Lake Lure Classical Academy announces shift in leadership Following the resignation of Caroline Upchurch last week from Lake Lure Classical Academy (LLCA), curriculum director Jess Boland, has been named acting school director. “We sincerely appreciate Ms. Upchurch for her enthusiasm and commitment to the school during our first three formative years,” said board chair Jim Proctor. “Along with a team of great teachers, amazing students and truly supportive families, we have been able to, not just open the school, but grow and strengthen its impact and reputation in the communities we serve.” In August, the school will embark on its fourth year and will add 10th grade. More than 320 students are enrolled with the number continually increasing. “While we say goodbye to Ms. Upchurch and wish her all the best in her future endeavors, we are at the same time excited about how the school is so strongly poised for this next chapter in our unfolding story,” said Proctor. “An active recruitment effort is getting underway for a dynamic new school director, someone highly suited to lead LLCA into the future with vision, experience, discipline, openness
and compassion,” Proctor said. Additionally, a School Leadership Team of teachers and parent representatives is forming to make classroom assignments and identify new teacher and staff positions that will be hired. This group will make it a top priority to communicate these plans to parents. For the new school year that starts this August, LLCA has obtained space in the brick buildings to the west of the school. These additional, temporary facilities will include three classrooms, two sets of boys/girls restrooms and an office space with a restroom. The space will be renovated for approved use as a school. The new facilities will be used for ninth and 10th grade students. Lake Lure Classical Academy: A Challenge Foundation Academy (LLCA-CFA), provides a first-class education to every child, thereby developing thoughtful, articulate young adults. Applications are currently being accepted for the 2013-2014 school year. Visit www.LLCA.

Squeaky wheels get the oil Editor’s note: This letter was sent originally to Eunice Whitmire by Ruth B. McClure. McClure shared the letter with the Bulletin, saying as a former resident of Tryon she was appalled with what Whitmire has gone through the last 14 years.
Dear Eunice, I have been following the articles Letter in the Tryon Daily to the Bulletin regarding Editor your property situation. I am appalled and in disbelief that the elected officials of our hometown, the “friendliest little town in the south,” has allowed one of its own, a tax paying, lifelong resident to live and suffer under these conditions with no resolution to date – 14 years and counting.
While I am sure I don’t know the whole story of “attempts to remedy” this situation, I know you to be a peace loving citizen of Tryon. Perhaps you were too much a lover of peace since your peace was compromised by this situation that could not be resolved by just talk and not enough action, yet you still wait believing in the promises of the powers that be. Remember, “It’s the squeaky wheel that gets the oil.” Please know that you are in my prayers. I will continue praying for a complete and permanent resolution to this horrific situation so that you may have your much deserved, overdue peace, and also that no long term health issues result from all of this. God Bless you. – Ruth B. McClure, Atlanta

U turn To the editor: Over the previous four years as a county commissioner, I have been a strong supporter of each annual budget (2009-12).

This approach proved very effective through the “Great Recession” by providing fiscal stability, effective services to our citizens, along with a healthy fund balance (the Rainy Day Fund).

Their means of achieving a balanced budget, simply put, is first: a far more optimistic approach toward anticipated
Letter to the Editor
On taxes and speaking up To the editor: Thank you for the excellent editorial regarding the Polk County Letter commissioners’ tax to the decrease. Editor Your comments regarding using $66,000 for other positions in the sheriff’s department or department of social services seems like an excellent way to support other
revenues. Second: taking $435,000 out of the budget requested by department heads for capital expense items, such as cars, ambulance, computer equipment, etc. and declaring that these items should not be included in the annual budget (as they have been in the past). Instead we’ll just pay for these items directly from the county’s saving account, the Rainy Day Fund. Third, after several years of declines in the number of county employees (the number of full time equivalent in 2009 was 174.4 and in 2012 down to 170.5 employees), the current proposed budget includes four additional full-time employees. This change from conservative to expansionary fiscal policy may be fine except for one critical factor: when the decision is made to expand local government, you don’t give a token tax cut. Rather my fellow commissioners should act honestly and find the means to cover their increased spending. They should not play a shell game with the taxpayer’s money. – Ray Gasperson, Polk County Commissioner Polk County families and their needs. Not just another political ploy to haul out when campaigning for the next BOC election. Regarding another letter writer’s comments about former commissioner Renee McDermott’s vitriol.

Letter to the Editor
Grandstanding politicians win while county loses No matter what, the majority on the Board of Commissioners (BOC) was bound and determined to produce a tax cut this year. But ¼ cent? $2.50 on a $100,000 property? Not even one “Happy Meal”? It’s just for bragging rights. To be able to say during their next election campaign (without being able to pass the “red face test”), “we cut your taxes.” But giving the BOC’s majority this bogus campaign claim makes all of Letter Polk County the big to the Editor loser. What was lost to pay for this tiny tax break? The Department of Social Services (DSS) badly needs another child welfare worker. The position remained unfilled a couple of years ago when a worker was promoted. County Manager Ryan Whitson wanted to leave the position open for a while, to see how state funding went during the great recession. With child abuse, including child sexual abuse, rising in Polk County, DSS asked for the position to once again be funded. It’s very badly needed, to protect the children. Said the majority: “No.” No reason given. But they needed to give a symbolic tax break. Costs have continued to rise, and stray and abandoned animals are still a significant problem in Polk County in spite of an excellent spay and neuter program. So the Foothills Humane Society (FHS) asked the commissioners to reimburse them for Polk County’s legal obligation of holding such animals for only three days, even though FHS cares for the animals much longer to ensure forever homes. The majority’s response? “No, we won’t reimburse you for taking care of Polk County’s state-required duty. Let your voluntary private donors pick up
the shortfall of $14,580.” The majority had to give a token ¼ cent tax break. It’s the same as refusing to pay the county’s bills, only because they wanted to spend the money somewhere else. Nearly everyone in Polk County said they wanted to preserve Polk County’s natural beauty and its rural heritage in a survey sent to every household in Polk County a few years ago. S o a f t e r P o l k C o u n t y ’s commissioners set aside funds for farmland preservation for the last five years or so, what did the new majority propose for this year’s budget? They killed all funding for farmland preservation. They had to bolster their upcoming election campaigns to be able to crow that they gave their “not even a Happy Meal” tax break. Even with all these losing propositions for the people of Polk County, it wasn’t enough to balance the budget. Voodoo budget work still needed to be done. Commissioner Tom Pack declared that all “capital” funding would come, not from yearly tax dollars, but from the county’s savings account, its “fund balance.” But the capital items weren’t long lasting ones, like buildings, that sometimes are taken from the fund balance. They included everyday items like computers, cameras, scanners and printers, with a very short life, that most always are paid for with yearly tax dollars. Raiding the county’s savings account to pay for ordinary expenses has been Tom Pack’s goal for years. Now that he’s in the majority, he’s putting that bad strategy to work. That’s not how a real businessman would handle Polk County’s finances. And it’s surely not the conservative way to do things.
On and on it goes. This majority’s first budget is telling Polk County citizens a lot about who is running the county now. It’s telling Polk County citizens that this majority is making Polk County “the big loser.” - Renée McDermott, Tryon

Dr. Wai Yun Syn Dr. Wai Yun Syn, at 81 years of age, gently passed away on May 24, 2013. His heart finally gave out after carrying him for 25 years beyond what his colleagues estimated was likely. His passing was peaceful surrounded by his family. Still here to celebrate his life are his loving wife of 25 years, Betty Syn of Columbus; (three children): Warren Wah Lun James Syn of Clairmont, Ga., Suelin Lilly-Ammons of Columbus, and Evelyn Lee Campbell of Conyers, Ga.; (two stepchildren): Dr. Robert Lilly of Columbus, Pamela Bach Tucker of Atlanta, Ga.; (five grandchildren): Angelina Lilly and Skylar Ammons, both of Columbus, and Nick, Nathan and Maxwell Bach of Atlanta, Ga. Wai was born and grew up in Singapore, son of parents who were Chinese, Eng Kim Syn and Mabel Ho Syn. In 1950, his foster parents, Warren and Evelyn Willis, sponsored Wai in coming to America, where he received his undergraduate degree from Florida University and his MD degree from Emory University Medical School in 1959. Dr. Syn then went on as a doctor to do mission work in Asia, where he helped many who would not have otherwise received medical care. He then worked at DeKalb Hospital and in private practice in Atlanta as an internist for 40 years before retiring to Columbus. Wai was an incredible inspiration to his many friends and family, and his smile and laughter will live long in our hearts.

O.P. Earle Elementary students learn from Ballet Spartanburg. (photo submitted)
Ballet Spartanburg teaches O.P. Earle fourth-graders to dance Recent Artist in Residence, Ballet Spartanburg, featuring Artistic Director Carlos Agudelo and Dance Instructor Haley Bolton, worked with the entire fourth grade class at O.P. Earle
Elementary School to develop an original dance. The students performed their dance, complete with props and background for the community on May 14.
Following the performance, the artists and students were honored with a reception, a Kessler Cultural Evening, in the Principal’s Art Gallery and Sculpture Garden. The residency and reception were made possible by the generous funding of the Polk County Community Foundation, Mary F. Kessler Fund. The mission of the Kessler Cultural Evening project at O.P. Earle Elementary School is to provide an artistically en-
riched educational environment integrating academics with the arts, including movement, encouraging students along with the home and community, to be creators, consumers and life-long supporters of the arts. The goal of the cultural evening is to continue developing community arts networks, helping make Mary F. Kessler’s dreams for her community become an ongoing actuality. – article submitted by Dawn Lynch

Local artist, Feagan, visits Tryon Elementary School Alice Feagan visited Tryon Elementary School this week to share with the fourth and fifth graders her new book, Uncovering Earth’s Secrets. This is a children’s picture eBook about the JOIDES Resolution. The JOIDES Resolution is a seagoing research vessel that drills core samples and collects measurement from under the ocean floor. The book is for elementary age kids, and it shows how the JOIDES Resolution has allowed scientists to learn a great deal about volcanoes, earthquakes, extinction for dinosaurs and much more about our amazing earth. The book was written by Kevin Kurtz and Alice Feagan illustrated it.
• Calendar
Feagan shared with the students her experiences in the JOIDES Resolution and the students had a chance to ask her questions about her illustrations and the things that she had learned during the weeks she stayed on the ship. The students were very excited to have someone from their own school sharing her art and experience with them. Feagan attended Tryon Elementary School, and this was her second visit to Tryon Elementary School. Feagan is a freelance illustrator who works traditionally and digitally in the unique medium of cut paper. She has illustrated several books including the book titled Summer of the Rabbits. Alice Feagan now lives in

The public is invited to join the Saluda Historic Committee for a tour in an historic section of Saluda, along part of Henderson Street which runs parallel to Main Street. Eight homes will be open for touring and four others will feature either gardens, an art studio and in one, a rock and mineral museum. Most of these homes were built in the late 1890s to early 1900s. In researching the deeds of many of the houses, it was found that at least four of the homes were built by the same man, O. B. Garren who was also a photographer and was one of Saluda’s first mayors. He built in what is now called the “Saluda Vernacular Style” which is defined as everyday architecture influenced by heritage, experience and availability of material Another treat for this tour, in addition to the eight homes will be a chance to see the Rock and Mineral Museum that used to be along Main Street in Saluda and is now reassembled in “Chrystal Springs”, the home of Martha Ashley. This amazing collection of mostly local specimens is highlighted by a “black light” room, which allows the viewers to see the iridescence in a large number of rocks in the collection.
