Human fecal bacteria confirmed in Eunice Whitmire’s yard Tryon expects to discuss test results Friday by Leah Justice
Human bacteroides, or cells of human specific fecal bacteria, were found in Tryon resident Eunice Whitmire’s yard and crawl space, according to soil samples taken at the
residence. Air samples also determined a type of mold in her home. The Town of Tryon ordered soil and air samples through John Salmon, with Air & Moisture LLC following concerns over town sewage water spilling into Whitmire’s (Continued on page 4)

Organization aims to change families by supporting moms by Samantha Hurst
Parents, moms in particular, struggling with creating healthy meals for themselves and families might find assistance through tonight’s Family Kitchen program being held at The Morgan Center in Tryon. Extension agent Jimmi Buell will be on hand June 27 at 6:30 p.m. to teach mothers about meal planning, prep and practical tips for successful meals. The Family Kitchen is an outreach series presented by Changing Lives Moms Group and sponsored by EarthFare Markets and the NC State Polk Cooperative Extension office. The event will include food provided by EarthFare, childcare and hands-on activities to help a mother map out a week’s worth of meals. Desiree Paradis, who is leading the local Changing Lives moms group, said she wants moms to know (Continued on page 6)

yard for almost 14 years. The air samples were sent to EMSL Analytical Inc. in Kernersville, N.C. and the soil samples sent to their laboratory in Cinnaminson, N.J. “The soil samples on the left side yard were negative for human bacteroides and one of the two samples on the right side of the yard was positive at 1,774 cell equivalents/gram of soil,” said Salmon’s analysis of the report. “The second sample on the right side of the yard was negative. The crawl space sample was positive for human bacteroides with a cell equivalent count/gram of soil at 628. In layman’s terms this can be described as cells of human specific fecal bacteria for a gram of the sample taken.” The air samples, taken outside, in Whitmire’s living room and rear hallway found Asperigullus/ Penicillium. According to Salmon’s analysis, the outside air sample is taken to set a baseline for air-borne molds. “The goal of air testing is to identify air-borne molds and fungi in the interior samples that are greater than the outside sample,” stated Salmon’s analysis. “The only contaminate found to meet this criteria is Asperigullus/Penicillium. This organism is commonly found in homes, but can cause bronchopulmonary problems for individuals with asthmatic conditions. It is a potential pathogen for anyone with lung disease. This mold grows in a wide range of substrates, but is prevalent in water-damaged structures. This mold is the second most common opportunistic pathogen. The remaining molds and spores identified are prevalent in soils and from decaying plants.” Tryon recessed its Tuesday, June 18 meeting until Friday, June 28 at 3 p.m. in order to approve its 2013-2014 budget. Tryon Town Manager Joey Davis said since Friday’s meeting will be a continuation of the June 18 meeting, council can discuss the results of the samples. He said he’s asked specific questions to a microbiolo-
gist to determine what treatments, if any, can be done based on some of the results and he hopes his questions are answered prior to Friday’s meeting. The Bulletin has made numerous phone calls and spoken to a few employees with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), both in Asheville and Raleigh to interpret the results in terms of potential hazards to Whitmire. The Bulletin also unsuccessfully attempted to contact septic officials with the RutherfordPolk-McDowell Health District. Division of Water Quality Surface Water Protection Section Supervisor Chuck Cranford said there is no normal range for human feces in soil for the state of North Carolina. He said DENR’s monitoring of town’s water and sewer systems are to ensure their permits are in compliance. Davis said the town does understand that some of the soil samples came back positive for human bacteroides, a sign of human feces, which was expected and validates what the town knows, that obviously, there has been spillage at Whitmire’s property. “What we don’t understand is the relevance of the numbers,” said Davis. “For example, I can tell you relevance for numbers say, if we are doing a carbon monoxide investigation, what’s average, what concerns us, etc.” He said those are the questions the town has sent to a microbiologist, to explain the significance of the numbers in terms of the severity. “We aren’t sure of what the next step is at this point until we are certain of what the numbers reflect and what, if anything, can be done,” said Davis. Tryon spent approximately $1,000 on the testing. The town has also sent the results of the testing to Whitmire’s attorney, Gene Johnson. Johnson attended council’s June 18 meeting saying he plans to initiate action against the town, but was waiting on the soil and air test results to return prior to filing a suit. As of press time yesterday, no lawsuits had been filed against Tryon at the Polk County Courthouse.

they don’t have to drive to Asheville or Spartanburg to find a supportive moms group. “You can have moms groups where you just socialize, but I think we need more,” said Desiree Paradis. “If we don’t build ourselves up then how can we take care of our families?” What Paradis said she hopes to cultivate is a group that has a positive impact on families by empowering mothers through practical knowledge and support. The Changing Lives moms group launched its effort through a spring series of “CREATION” programs for about 21 participating mothers. The faith-based program focused on topics such as choice, rest and your environment, activity and trust, relationships and outlook and basic nutrition. This second round of evening nutrition seminars will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. at The Morgan Center,

A burst of showers that came through Tryon about 2:30 p.m. caused a tree to fall on power lines along S. Trade Street near the old Tryon Riding and Hunt Club offices. Smoke could be seen from where the tree broke several power lines leaving live wires on the ground. Emergency responders blocked off traffic to prevent anyone from coming in contact with the wires. The road remains blocked as of yesterday afternoon.

Saluda approves $1 million budget with salary increases for employees by Samantha Hurst
Saluda Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a $1,031,575 budget, which includes a three percent salary increase for employees but no other increases for the new fiscal year. Finance Director Ron Cole presented the final budget at a budget hearing held Wednesday, June 26. “The city’s tax rate will remain unchanged, as a matter of fact in this budget there is no rate change of any fees,” Cole said. The approved budget reflects a 2.6 percent increase from the adopted budget last year, according to Cole, but is 1.3 percent less than the current fiscal year’s budget, after amendments, which ends June 30. Within the budget $10,000 is appropriated for the continuation of renovation efforts to city hall. It also includes the use of

$35,825 from the city’s fund balance to cover $14,000 in paving and $21,825 for the general fund budget to cover some of the costs related to the purchase of a new copier system for the city and a new police vehicle. The $14,000 allocated for paving is not specified for any particular project but is to be used as needed throughout the year. It is in addition to the $30,525 the city receives for such projects from the state Powell Fund.

Saluda officials also included $12,450 in capital outlay monies in the water/sewer budget, as well as $43,005 for system development to complete upgrades on the aging system.

Jason Fox award presented to Andrew Suber-Brown Robert Jason Fox, best known as Jason, was a native of Tryon. He attended The Polk County School System from kindergarten into high school, and was a member of the first freshman class to attend the new Polk County High School in Columbus when it opened in the fall of 1992. Early in his sophomore year - 1993 - Fox was diagnosed with leukemia and was obliged to withdraw from school for treatment. Fox passed away early in 1994. During the short time he was a high school student, Fox earned the respect and affection of his teachers and his peers. He was a likable young man, a serious student, a good athlete, responsibly fun-loving with a good sense of humor and a reputation for integrity and good citizenship. Fox was an outstanding role model for every student; he was
also a glowing example of the importance of supportive, loving parents. To honor the memory of Fox, an anonymous donor has established a special award to be given each year to a male sophomore student whose personal qualities are as exemplary as Fox’s. This year, the award was presented to Andrew Suber-Brown. The award consists of a citation, designed by the respected artist, Julia Williams, and a Fox-head pin designed by the renowned sculptor, William Behrends, cast in sterling silver, symbolizing Fox’s character. It becomes the duty of the young man who receives this award to be faithful to the memory of Fox and to remember always the reasons this award was given. – article submitted by Meghan Mauldin

Pearson’s Falls donates boulders to St. Luke’s
One of Pearson’s Falls’ large rocks is marked for donation to St. Luke’s Hospital for landscaping its new wing, currently under construction. Carol Meeske, Tryon Garden Club’s project manager for building innovative new green bathrooms at Pearson’s Falls, said, “We felt very strongly that the rocks removed should be used around a Polk County public building. The falls have been a part of growing up in the area for generations.” She called St. Luke’s “the perfect choice.” (photo submitted by Susan McNabb)
Polk student is R. Flake Shaw scholar Shalyn Alissa Brown of Columbus is a recipient of the R. Flake Shaw Scholarship, North Carolina Farm Bureau’s top academic award. Brown, a senior at Polk County High School, is the daughter of Chuckie and Rhonda Brown. “In the fall I will be attending N.C. State to study agriculture,” Brown said. “In the future, I plan to travel to third-world countries and share my knowledge about agriculture [with] the people and help them cultivate their land. I have a passion for agriculture and am confident that no matter what job I pursue, as long as it’s agriculture-related I will be happy.” The renewable scholarship is valued at $3,750 per year and provides each recipient with a total of $15,000 over four years for tuition, books and other expenses. The scholarship program assists 24 college-level students each year.

Polk County’s Most Wanted Plant: Barbara’s Buttons
(continued from page 2)
Polk County’s Most Wanted Plants by Pam Torlina
In a joint effort to expand the knowledge and understanding of the flora and fauna of Polk County, the Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and botanist, David Campbell need your help in locating this month’s “Most Wanted — Plant,” Marshallia grandiflora, also known by the common names, Barbara’s Buttons, Appalachian Barbara’sbuttons, Large-flowered Barbara’s-buttons, Large-flowered marshallia and Monongahela Barbara’s buttons, to name a few. Appalachian Barbara’s-buttons is known throughout central Appalachia – from Pennsylvania south to Tennessee with the largest populations occurring in West Virginia. Historically, it grew in North Carolina where it is ranked as “SH-State Historical” and “G2-Globally Imperiled” throughout the world, due to the rarity and/or vulnerability of the plant. It is historically known from Henderson and Polk Counties in North Carolina, and there is an historic record of the plant from Polk County. The first, and only, record of this plant in Polk County was made in 1898 and found in “dry soil near Saluda.” There was a specimen collected and it is housed at the state herbarium. Unfortunately, there have been no reports of this plant in the county since then, but that does not mean that it is not here. That is why this plant has been chosen for this month’s “Most Wanted.” The public is asked to keep a keen eye on the landscape over the next few months and to contact PAC if they think that they see this plant in the county. Appalachian Barbara’s-buttons is a perennial herb that grows 1-2 feet tall, singly or in clusters from a low, woody base. The leaves are narrowly oblong

and tapering and have three parallel veins. Leaves near the bottom of the stem have a short petiole (stalk attaching the leaf blade to the stem), but farther up the stem, the leaves are attached directly to the main stem. It is a member of the Asteraceae family, and the solitary, diskshaped flower heads are about 1-2 inches wide and range in color from white, pale purple, to pink. They bloom from May through August. The plant prefers wet forests or meadows and also occurs on stream banks. It tolerates partial shade, but flowers best in direct sunlight. It is most commonly found in habitat that has been scoured by flooding. Appalachian Barbara’s-buttons is historically known to grow in bogs. If you think that you have seen this species or know where it might be located, please contact PAC at 828-859-5060, or e-mail comments, questions, or photos to landprotection@ pacolet.org. The purpose of this project is to gain a better understanding of the flora and fauna in Polk County and document the species present in the county. PAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to Protect and Conserve the area’s natural

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.
