Brady’s life and work to go on display by Samantha Hurst

About a month from now, early drawings of dream homes, scribbled notes from a creative genius and books of architectural greats will be on display at the Tryon Fine Arts Center to offer a glimpse into the life and work of Tryon architect Holland Brady. “We just want to make this a celebration of not just Holland, but Tryon too,” said Brady’s partner Dean Trakas. “Holland kind of is Tryon – he’s so attached to the history of this town and had so many great stories to tell.” Now, Trakas, along with Brady’s family and close friends, want to hear the stories others have to tell about him.

Tryon seeks house to rent Whitmire by Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon is seeking a house to rent resident Eunice Whitmire following testing that revealed mold issues inside her home and fecal bacteria in her yard and crawl space after 14 years of town wastewater running onto her property. Tryon also announced that surveying has begun along East Howard Street for a replacement sewer line that the town hopes will repair issues that allow the wastewater

to flood into Whitmire’s yard during heavy rains. Council met Friday, June 28 for a special meeting and discussed the soil and air sample results then recessed the meeting until Tuesday, July 2. A sample taken on the right side of the yard was positive for human bacteroides at 1,774 cell equivalents/gram of soil and (Continued on page 4)

• Brady

(continued from page 1)

Trakas, area artists Pat Ferrullo and Julie McIntyre are collaborating on an exhibit of Brady’s work to open on Aug. 15 at the Tryon Fine Arts Center. They will begin to set things up on Aug. 12, with a soft opening Aug. 15 and the reception Aug. 16. The show will run through Labor Day. “As soon as we knew that he had a health problem, a light bulb went off, but he deserved this a long time ago,” Trakas said. Brady died June 20, 2013, one day short of his 88th birthday. He was born June 21, l925 at the old St. Luke’s Hospital over the present site of Owen’s Pharmacy in Tryon. He was a graduate of Tryon High School. Brady served in World War II as a medic in France, Germany and Belgium. After the war, he graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in architecture. Brady eventually settled back in

Tryon in l951, where he worked under architect Shannon Meriwether, eventually taking over the firm. Holland continued working for more than 60 years designing homes, commercial buildings and churches. Trakas said he’s been thinking about putting an exhibition of Brady’s work together for years. Ferrullo, who worked with Brady from 1987-1992, will curate the project. “We have a long history together through a good working relationship and friendship,” Ferrulo said. “His family approached me about working with Dean Trakas on this. It sounded like a huge project, but as I thought it over I realized, ‘How could I not?’” Trakas compared putting the exhibit together to compiling items for a time capsule. He said when you start to piece together Brady’s life you see fragments of great historical moments – moments for Tryon and even the nation. Memorabilia from Brady’s

Tryon Presbyterian, the interior shown here, is one of the hallmark designs of Brady’s work. (photo submitted)

life includes his accounts from World War II and early drawings of architectural designs far ahead of their time. Trakas said the public would be able to view a collection of Brady’s classic designs out of the more than 300 projects he worked on through the years. “We want to show the evolution

of each project from the early idea to the complete project. The whole idea is to show a combination of working drawings, notes that Holland made and his memorabilia,” Trakas said. Ferrullo said Lanier Library plans to join in with the exhibit to

a sample in the Whitmire’s crawl space was positive for human bacteroides at 628 cell equivalents/ gram of soil, according to the results, tested by EMSL Analytical Inc. Air samples taken inside Whitmire’s home tested positive for Asperigullus/Penicillium, a type of air-borne mold, according to the test results. During Tuesday’s meeting, town manager Joey Davis said he received answers to questions from an EMSL Analytical microbiologist on Monday, July 1 regarding what the test results mean as far as a health hazard for Whitmire. The microbiologist responded that they test mostly swab samples, not soil samples, but the closest comparison would be from a public cafeteria. Davis said the lab usually sees a number of about 300 cells, so Whitmire’s crawl space is double that number and her yard is even more. As far as the use of the land, Davis said the microbiologist answered that once the source of spillage is eliminated, it’s a matter of washing of the dirt and cleansing the land to decontaminate it. The microbiologist said he thought it was a good idea to move Whitmire out of the home until the problem is fixed, Davis said. Davis has also sent questions to the EPA but had not gotten answers prior to Tuesday’s meeting. The town originally hoped that a Habitat for Humanity house that is currently available would be

suitable for Whitmire, but Whitmire said there were issues there with water as well as being dark and secluded. Whitmire said when she went up the driveway she noticed water coming in and it was stagnant and green, whichshe feared might attract mosquitos. She also said being a senior citizen she doesn’t want to be in a dark place. Commissioner George Baker said if Whitmire doesn’t like the color of the house or other small issues, the town could fix those. “Why should I move somewhere I’ve got a water problem,” Whitmire asked. Whitmire said she and her daughter have several calls out to realtors regarding homes for rent. Whitmire says some realtors are not calling her back and others are saying they have homes for sale but none for rent. “I would like to see Ms. Whitmire out before construction begins,” said commissioner Roy Miller. Council also agreed when a home is found, the town will clean Whitmire’s furniture prior to moving it. Davis said surveying is being done now for the new East Howard Street sewer line and permitting will take 60 to 90 days, but the town is hoping the state will fast track the permitting due to the situation. Construction is estimated to take 90 days, pending weather, so the construction is scheduled to be completed in December or January. (Continued on page 6)

display some of Brady’s collections as well. Holland Brady collected a number of things including an extensive assemblage of books, magazines and music, for example. Ferrullo said family and friends are currently working to sort through his collections to determine what stands out as something of interest for the community – those who knew and loved him and those who’d love to know more about him. “Not only was he a fine architect, but he was also a very creative, fine gentleman too and made his impact on the community from early on,” Ferrullo said. Within a large scrapbook to be set up at the exhibit, space will be left for community members to bring notes, pictures and more to contribute. “We would also like to have anyone who has a great story to tell about Holland to write up a paragraph or two about what they found so great about him,” McIntyre said.

According to Trakas, local photographers Chris Bartol and Mara and Ford Smith have offered their help to photograph the many architectural gems from Brady’s career. If you live in a Holland Brady home or have an item you would like to have considered for the exhibit, call Pat Ferrullo at 8593177 or Dean Trakas at 859-6006 or 864-590-3905. “We’re just putting out an impassioned request for anyone to bring by anything they would like to contribute,” Trakas said. “We would hate for someone to have a great thing to remember him by and us not know about it, so we want to open it up to everyone.” Howard Street area. Tryon will have to match the grant $164,169. Whitmire brought her attorney, Gene Johnson, to the town’s May meeting who said he was initiating legal action against the town. He told the Bulletin on Tuesday that he has not yet filed any action as they wait for the town to do the right thing. Following Tuesday’s meeting Whitmire said she did not wish to make a comment at this time.

Opinion

Wednesday, July 3, 2013

Ours Take advantage of opportunities to show patriotism Once again the patriotic faithful of Polk County and Landrum – veterans who made sacrifices of their own and watched their peers make sacrifices, and the spouses and family who have been taught to care – will congregate July 4 to once again recognize the true reason for this national holiday. We hope many of you too will be in attendance at one of these events. Sure there will be barbecues to light, fireworks displays to plan and entertainment abundant all around, but there is a real meaning behind this day that wouldn’t be possible without the heart and soul of brave men and women. Honor your country this week not only by wearing your red, white and blue, but also by being in attendance to learn more about what the 4th of July stands for and why it should be celebrated whole heartedly. At the veterans’ hour in Columbus from noon-1 p.m. Thursday, anyone interested can discover who is involved with Polk County’s Gold Star and Blue Star Mothers, efforts locally to connect wounded warriors with therapy dogs and the American Legion members in general. Polk County is also gearing up for a special Veterans Day this year with the launch of a parade through Columbus. This effort is being led by Otis Livingston who will talk more about the event during the veterans hour of Columbus’ Fabulous Fourth celebration this Thursday. Landrum will hold a special opening ceremony before its Family Fourth event at 9:30 a.m. behind City Hall on Lodge Street. Members of First Baptist Church of Gowensville will also provide patriotic music in the courtyard of Elaine’s Attic, 227 E. Rutherford, until 1 p.m. Polk County an Landrum are proud of the area’s many veterans, but we need to make sure we constantly show, especially World War II vets, that we will never forget their sacrifices nor ignore how blessed we are to live in a free country. – Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Polk County veterans’ hour at Fabulous 4th Festival The Polk County veterans’ hour will take center stage from noon-1 p.m. on the 4th of July. This special hour will be full of presentations and discussions concerning our servicemen and women and the organizations that support them such as the VFW and American Legion. The Polk County Memorial VFW Post #9116 & Ladies Auxiliary, Columbus Post Commander Scott Camp and President Joyce Preston, will moderate the Veterans hour. They will cover topics such as explaining what the 4th of July stands for and that Freedom is Not Free. They will discuss the VFW and background information, and also include special recognition for several groups. The Town of Columbus and town council and Polk County interim manager and commissioners will be recognized for offering support by providing meeting space during the year. They will also recognize any Polk County Gold Star Mothers & Blue Star Mothers. Gold Star Mothers is an organization formed after WWI for women who lost sons or daughters in the war. Currently it is open to any American woman whose child has died in the line of duty of the United States Armed Forces. Blue Star Mothers of America is

an organization formed during WWII for mothers with sons or daughters in the war. Currently it is open to mothers who have a son or daughter in the US Armed Forces. The name came from the custom of families of servicemen hanging a banner called a Service Flag in a window of their homes. The Service Flag had a star for each family member in the military. If you know of any Gold Star or Blue Star Mother or someone who is eligible, please call Joyce Preston at 828-859-5286 so they can be added to the recognition list. The American Legion #250 will be presented awards for their project with “Dogs for Wounded Warriors.” Commander Mike Collins will also say a few words about the American Legion.

Grace Ingham and Dietrich Jackson are rehearsing their roles as Grandma Georgina and Grandpa George, Charlie’s bedridden grandparents in “Willy Wonka,” the 2013 Summer Youth Production being staged by Tryon Little Theater and the Tryon Youth Center. Grandpa George is very hard of hearing, which makes for some interesting banter, and Grandma Georgina tries not to lose her patience. This will be Grace’s seventh show with TLT, and Dietrich’s second. “We were in ‘Seussical’ together last year,” said Ingham. “We had to flirt with each other in the show – he was the clown and I was the bearded lady!

Father’s Day social at LaurelHurst Every month LaurelHurst has a social get together. The month of June celebrated Father’s Day with a Mexican Fiesta Feast. Residents enjoyed taco soup, chips and salsa, seven-layer dip and Mexican rice with cheese sauce. All the fathers were recognized and congratulated. Residents learned a little trivia as well. Sonora Dodd thought of

the idea of Father’s Day while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. She wanted a special day to honor her father. Her father was born in June, so she chose that month to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Wash. on June 19, 1910. So it is said that Sonora Dodd is the “Mother” of Father’s Day. - article submitted by Jennifer Thompson

Nelson to teach still life workshop Richard Christian Nelson (Rich Nelson) will teach a fiveday still life workshop in Tryon, July 22-27. The class will take place at the Nelson’s gallery, Skyuka Fine Art from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. each day at 133 N Trade Street. Participants will concentrate on the steps of the painting process by creating compositions with simple objects such as fruit, vegetables, pottery, flowers, etc. There will be lectures and demos by Nelson, and multiple demonstrations and opportunities to talk about work individually and with the group. This workshop is open to all ages, levels and media, but painting in oil will be emphasized. Class size is limited to 12. You can find more info online at RichardChristianNelson.com/ workshops Nelson loves still life as a way to develop and refine artistic skills. He uses shadow boxes to isolate the compositions so they can truly be studied and painted well. “While some folks are not inspired by still life, to me it is the best way to get a good handle on the process of painting from life without having to deal with knowledge of human anatomy for portrait or figurative work, or the ever-changing lighting and weather outdoors when painting landscape,” Nelson says. “I always say that a subject reveals itself to you as you paint it, and that is especially true as you focus on a ‘simple’ object such as an apple or vase. Of course, once you have your process working you can apply it to any subject you wish.” If you are interested in the workshop but cannot attend, you might be interested in the artist’s recent video on “Painting The Still Life.” The two-hour film takes you through the materials and process as he paints the still life shown. You can find information and a short trailer of the video on his website RichardChristianNelson.com//page/2381/video.

Ambrose Mills of Tryon, a direct descendent of Colonel Andrew Hampton, assisted with the unveiling of a portrait of the Revolutionary War hero, at a special ceremony at the Rutherfordton Town Hall on July 19. (photo submitted)

Portrait of Revolutionary War leader unveiled The first known portrait of Colonel Andrew Hampton, commander of the Rutherford County Liberty Men during the defense of Charleston and in the battle of Kings Mountain, was unveiled June 19 at the Rutherfordton Town Hall. The portrait will remain on display at the town hall for three weeks. Attending were living descendents of the Revolutionary War hero, including Ambrose Mills of Tryon. During the Revolutionary War, Polk County was then part of Rutherford County. Chivous Bradley, a Rutherford County historian, coordinated the presentation by American Revolutionary War Living History Center (ARWLHC) and artist Thomas Kelly Pauley of York County, S.C. “This is a long past-due honor for one of the great pioneers and heroes of our area,” Bradley said. The ceremony included remarks by Martin Mongiello of Grover, N.C. and one of the ARWLHC founders. He commissioned Pauley to produce a series of portraits of the heroes of Kings Mountain.

“Rutherfordton was selected as the site for the public unveiling,” Mongiello said, ”because Hampton lived only a few miles west of the town, his family played a major role in the early development of the county and many of Hampton’s descendents still live in the area.” Pauley, an artist specializing in historical as well as contemporary portraits assisted with the unveiling. His passion for the Revolutionary War figures comes from a keen sense of history and appreciation for the battle sites within close proximity of his York County, S.C. studio. “Many of the heroes of the back country militia leaders were simple men who never sat for an artist and of whom no graphic likeness exists today,” Pauley said. “Andrew Hampton was one of those heroes that history has almost forgotten. By analyzing dozens of photographs of Hampton’s descendents and comparing common facial features, I produced a reasonable facsimile of what he must have looked like.” (Continued on page 19)

• Hampton (continued from page 18)

Hampton’s descendents from Rutherford and Polk counties and as far away as Texas and Arkansas contributed old photographs, some dating back to the mid 1800s, for use by Pauley. “Initially, I made several sketches, giving attention to the details around the eyes, cheekbones and hairline before putting the finishing touches to an oil portrait,” he added. Andrew Hampton settled on Mountain Creek in what was then called Tryon County in 1770 and was a captain in the frontier militia. The father of 15 children, he was a prosperous farmer and miller. In 1775, he resigned his Royal commission when he signed the Tryon Resolves, which declared the area’s support for the struggle against British tyranny. Hampton was major in General Griffith Rutherford’s 1776 expedition against the Cherokee Indians. When Rutherford County was

created in 1779, he was promoted to colonel and given command of the new county’s Patriot militia. He was 67 years old at the battle of Kings Mountain. Two months later, at the Battle of Blackstock plantation near Spartanburg, he led the Rutherford riflemen as they inflicted heavy

causalities upon Banastre Tarleton’s Legion. Hampton resigned his military commission in 1781 and then served three years as sheriff of Rutherford County. He died in 1805 and is buried near Mountain Creek. Other first-ever completed portraits of Kings Mountain heroes

by Pauley that are on display at The Inn of the Patriots in Grover include Colonels Frederick Hambright and Benjamin Cleveland, and Ishmael Titus, a free AfricanAmerican who fought with the Patriots. – article submitted by Joe Epley

Protecting turtle life

A box turtle prepares to lay eggs in the middle of Saluda resident Mark Schmerling’s gravel driveway. The turtle laid her eggs last week. Box turtles in North Carolina lay their eggs in the spring, and the young and very small offspring emerge in late summer or early fall. Attempting to protect the potential baby turtles, Schmerling said he and his wife set bricks around the incubation area, and put bright orange surveyor’s tape on the bricks to alert drivers to slow down. The bricks are placed to keep tires off the site, but to allow the center of a car to pass over without harming the eggs or the car. (photos submitted by Mark Schmerling)

Agricultural economic development will put us to work In Good Taste by Carol Lynn Jackson

Clang the County Bells! We have an ag econ development director for Polk County. And geez, do I like this person. I like her local food philosophy, her experience, her eloquent authenticity. Dawn Calton Jordan, we are at your service in the local sustainable food scene. Please put us to work. I know TDB ran a county generated press release announcing Dawn Jordan’s interim hire Monday. I would like this opportunity to offer our county a more personable introduction to the farmer and a friend whom I’ve worked closely with over the past five years. Dawn’s involvement with sustainable ag-related business is how we first met: at a Chamber After-Hours where she was launching her heritage poultry and organic producebased farm, Restoration Farm, after having completed her first round of business planning services with Mountain BizWorks. Mountain BizWorks were the co-sponsors of that particular After Hours and had asked the Polk ag community would they be interested in further business training for farmers. The answer was “Yes!” and a dozen or so local folks with small businesses helped form CABA: a community alliance for ag-related businesses in Polk County. From that moment, Dawn and I ran into one another on a weekly basis here and there and would laugh, noting our destiny to work together with what grew into hundreds of others through our beloved Agricultural Development Center. It’s clear by now the thousands of people, groups, and organizations that dove in and participated to-

gether in bringing the ag center to what it is today: Dawn was right alongside in nearly every step of that process: in the county’s first PolkFresh Farm Tour and ag center Farm to Fork Supper, expanding farmers markets, business training classes, and special events. Dawn also agreed to sit on the advisory committee for the start-up of the Mill Spring Farm Store and was one of its very first vendors and volunteers. She works to strengthen WNC local food system with Mountain BizWorks, ASAP, Advantage West, Cooperative Extension and Polk Soil and Water Conservation, among others. She attends Slow Food gatherings and fundraisers, and runs a retreat center with sustainable living education workshops and mission-based projects along the river-side property of her farm in Green Creek. I gave Jo Ann Miksa-Blackwell, director, FARE of the Carolinas at Mountain BizWorks a phone call for this column and her shout out to Dawn and us all is that business training, coaching and lending for farmers is a model that MBW delivers all throughout WNC based primarily on the work that began in Polk County and she looks forward to furthering that partnership with Soil and Water and the Mill Spring Ag Center. Lee Mink of LEAP Farm who was instrumental in keeping the spirits of many of alive during this rocky but forward moving transition in ag econ development directors shared with me, “A few days after Lynn Sprague’s resignation, I went and talked to Dawn Jordan and said, “Why don’t you be the next ag-econ director. You will be accepted more broadly across this county than anyone else I know here right now, due to your generational history in farming and your vast community involvement from Day 1. I think Dawn Jordan is the best person to be accepted across all

genres and she can bring a calm and a settle that nurture’s the focus we need to move forward. Let’s all support Dawn Jordan, across all our varying communities and lets’ stay united with an eye on the prize toward continued sustainable agricultural economic development for Polk County.

“... she can bring a calm and a settle that nurture’s the focus we need to move forward.”

Cover up…

Christine Mariotti is now exhibiting a collection of her paintings at Millard & Company (the Depot). The exhibit, which is open to the public during business hours, Monday through Friday, is a mixture of acrylics, watercolors and Chinese brush paintings. Here is an excerpt from her artist’s statement about her career: “When I went to art school in the 60s, I thought I would study all media of art to become an art teacher in the public schools or in a private college. Indeed I did both of those things and enjoyed it for over 30 years. My specialty became textiles and fashion illustration as I found a position at a design school in California. That location brought me closer to the entertainment industry and I also did freelance work for Disneyland and for competitive ice skating costumers. Now that I am retired from teaching, I have the pleasure of creating paintings in a variety of media as well as the textile work. When I lived in California I studied Chinese brush painting for several years and now I have the time to produce larger works in this media. The style of painting that I enjoy may be described as light impressionism as the color is a main component of all of my pieces and carries over into the silk textiles that I also produce. The Oriental theme seems to transcend into the fiber arts and the years of study in that style were a great help in designing
