July sees four times average monthly rainfall by Samantha Hurst

You are not hearing a big fish tale when people claim to have gotten15-20 inches of rain at their homes last month. Records collected by the Tryon water plant show the area accumulated 20.05 inches of rain in the month of July, almost four times the average monthly rainfall of 5.27 inches. This average was taken from rainfall totals documented from 1981-2010. The average yearly total is 61.68 inches. In 2012 the total amount of rainfall for the year was 54.80 inches. With four months left to go in 2013, Tryon has already reached 68.23 inches of rain. Polk County Cooperative Extension Director John Vining said the inundation of rainfall has hit farmers hard this sum(Continued on page 3)

Commissioners spar over waterline tap fees by Leah Justice

Polk County Commissioners disagreed during a meeting Monday, Aug. 5 over what the county should charge for water tap fees. Commissioner Ray Gasperson said although he voted to allow all residents to tap onto the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterlines for $700 until the end of the year, he may have voted differently if given more time to think about it. The meeting agenda packet included

minutes from September 2008 where commissioners then approved setting a temporary water extension policy charging residents 40 percent of the cost of the waterline extension, with a maximum of $5,000 and a tap fee of $1,200 before the project and $1,600 after the project. The motion to approve the temporary water extension policy was made

mer. “Our vegetable guys have had a real struggle. The first four Saturdays the tailgate market (in Columbus) was open, it was pouring rain. Even those that had produce had no one to sell too,” Vining said. “And in the animal world, it’s been near impossible to cut hay because farmers can’t get it cured when they’ll cut it one day and it rains the next.” Vining said several things have occurred because of the rain. Disease plagued farmers early on as things like Downy Mildew became more prominent causing cucumber and squash plants to collapse, Vining said. Tomato growers also had to struggle with blight – the same disorder, Vining said, that caused the Irish famine with the destruction of potatoes. The second issue was that anyone who could get tomatoes to grow likely couldn’t sell the produce at market because the fruit would split from absorbing too

much water. Vining said many consumers won’t purchase split fruit even though it’s fine to eat. While the excessive rains have proven detrimental to many businesses it has boosted work for others. “I’m getting calls like crazy, but people don’t want you in their yard when it’s wet to do the work,” said Brooks Skipper with Skipper’s Tree Service. “We’re seeing a lot of broken limbs hanging over homes and a lot of people are calling in about trees that are dead.” Skipper said homeowners should consider taking precautions with trees close to their home. He said to look for leaves falling off limbs, bark peeling off the tree or large infestations of black ants. He said all of these are warning signs of disease. He also said it doesn’t hurt to have a professional look at any tree you might be concerned about. “If the ground is wet, like it is now, any tree can fall,” Skipper (Continued on page 4)

said. And the ground has surely been wet with emergency responders taking call after call for downed trees, crumpled culverts, sinkholes and flooded roads. Second to the month of July in total rainfall, so far this, year was May, which saw 11.30 inches of rain. Last year the Tryon area recorded only 7.90 inches of rain in July and only 9.50 inches in May, the wettest month for the area in 2012. Rainfall for the month of July

was 14.45 inches at the Greenville Spartanburg airport. This is a new monthly rainfall record for that area in July breaking the old record of 13.57 inches, set in 1984. This included 14 days of heavy rain during the month. “I guess there is a bright side of it – we’ve probably needed a year like this to recharge our ground water. Its been tough on farmers but some of the streams I haven’t seen them at normal levels since the drought problems we’ve had in year’s past,” Vining said.

by then commissioner Harry Denton and seconded by then and current commissioner Tom Pack. Gasperson said the $1,200 tap fee goes back to 2008 but remained in place when the permanent policy was adopted in 2009. “And now we have in effect several people upset,” said Gasperson. “They could have saved money. I’m convinced that the only thing that can be done is to take corrective action. Maybe we should rescind the action so we can go back and look at the issues that were created when we changed that tap fee from $1,200 to $700.” Gasperson was referring to the board’s June 17 action of discounting the tap fee to $700. On June 17 the county also approved a $1,353,492 bid to extend its waterline from Peniel Road in Green Creek to the Hwy. 9 crossroads in Mill Spring. The tap fee discount is in place (for a ¾ inch tap) from July 1 through the end of the year and also includes no participation fees. The action was taken in order to grow the number of county water customers. So far, seven new customers have been obtained through the discount. Commissioner Pack said people keep going back to the 2008 minutes, but the action then was to set a temporary tap fee and at the time that was the cost to the county for a tap fee. Pack asked Gasperson why he wants to overcharge citizens now that the tap fee costs are only $700. Pack said he can go buy a car and two weeks later he could have gotten it for $1,000 less. “You think I’m going to go and get a rebate because I didn’t wait,” Pack asked. Residents who have expressed concern over the new tap fees live in Meadowbrook Farms, where the county charged a $1,200 tap fee with the last day to tap at that rate on being in May 2013. Commissioner Keith Holbert said Gasperson is holding the new majority to a different standard than Gasperson was held to when the county ran a waterline to the Green Creek Community Center. Holbert read minutes from April 26, 2010, where then commissioner Warren

Friday, August 9, 2013

Watson argued against the county fully funding a water line extension to the Green Creek Community Center, saying it is against the county’s water policy. Holbert asked Gasperson if he was willing in 2010 to pay everyone back their 40 percent they paid for waterline extensions as he is now asking the county to pay back people who paid a $1,200 tap fee. Watson’s argument in 2010 included that the county is a tenant at the community center and shouldn’t be responsible for providing adequate utilities. Watson also argued that the then board’s decision was hasty and there was no need for an emergency because the community center had recently spent $5,000 to repair its well, money which would have paid the majority of funds needed to pay the 40 percent required match for a water line extension. “Thirdly, is it fair and equitable to the other taxpaying citizens who have come before this board, filled out the forms, committed their personal monies, and worked hard in their communities to garner support from their neighbors to get a costly waterline extension, for this board to selectively manipulate the system by using a loophole in our newly adopted policy to allow such an exception?” Watson said in 2010. “Fourthly, when making these types of decisions, it is imperative for our board to have time to properly deliberate the costs and the consequences of such actions. Unfortunately, the last minute addition to the agenda, the false sense of urgency and the large price tag do not meet the standards of open government professed by this board.” Resident Clay Ayers told commissioners the public detests commissioners hashing at each other. Ayers asked commissioner Pack if he remembers when the county was going to put a landfill in his backyard. “That’s the reason you’re a commissioner,” Ayers said to Pack. Ayers said he wants to be treated fair, that he paid $1,200 for his tap fee and he thinks everyone else should pay $1,200 and if the county wants to make the fee $700 they should give his money back. Ayers also said commissioners trash mouthing each other is sickening. “You’re childish. Grow up and stop hackling,” Ayers said. “The county is sick of it.”

Polk to put Park St. property up for sealed bids by Leah Justice

Polk County is trying to sell approximately 2 acres it owns on Park Street in Columbus and decided this week to sell it by sealed bid. County commissioners met Monday, Aug. 5 and approved advertising for sealed bids on the property. If sold, the county plans to give the money to the county’s economic and tourism development commission in order to plan for an industrial park in the county. County attorney Jana Berg gave commissioners options of disposing public property, which include a public auction, sealed or unsealed bids, private negotiations with another government or an exchange. Commissioner Ted Owens asked if the county went with sealed bids, could the county have the right to refuse all bids. Berg recommended that if the county sold the property through a sealed bid process it include a minimum amount. She said the

Commissioners decided to sell the property through sealed bids with the minimum amount accepted set at the property’s tax value, or $81,480. The county purchased the property in 2009 for $95,000 to construct the new department of social services building. The county later decided county-owned property off Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring was better suited for the building.

Tryon Painters and Sculptors mark 45th anniversary Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS) is celebrating 45 years and continuing the tradition of being a haven for local artists. “Artists wanted camaraderie, a place to paint and a place to display their work,” said TPS President Aviva Kahn. “Our members are very loyal – it’s like a family here; it is a family.” TPS will begin its celebration with the Tryon Gallery Trot this Saturday, Aug. 10 with a new show, “Moment in Time.” In August 1968 the charter members of TPS met, elected officers and started the group’s dedication to the needs of local artists. Although all 20 original members were enthusiastic, Lou Ingwerson was truly the driving force of the organization. The impetus for the group’s formation was to be recognized as a viable organization and to be given space in the planned Tryon Fine Arts (TFA) building. Soon after this meeting, makeshift space was planned for housing the new group in the balcony of the TFA Center. In 1970 the group took over a storage room next to the Mural Room and the fine arts office and turned it into Gallery One for monthly art shows. When the Mural Room needed painting, members painted a Trade St. scene. In 1972 TPS became a tax-free North Carolina Corporation with a charter, by-laws and regularly designated meeting times. The third Monday of each month remains TPS’s meeting time, and its 501(c)3 non-profit status has been maintained. Presently TPS has 132 active members and 12 volunteers who serve on the board of directors and run the organization. The composition of the board reflects the membership, which is approximately three quarters trained or professional artists and one quarter beginning, amateur artists. “We wanted to be a group for

people who were just interested in art. They may have never taken a class or maybe they just worked on their own,” Kahn said of members. “There’s nothing scarier than showing your work for the first time and TPS affords an opportunity for a comfortable and nurturing environment to do so.” Since the 1970s a close relationship exists between Tryon Little Theater (TLT), the Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC), Tryon Arts and Crafts (TAC) and the equestrian community. Sculpture, along with oil and watercolor painting, sketching and drawing and children’s art have been important parts of the organization. In 1980, TFAC acquired, through the generosity of Arthur Farwell and other donors, Binks House, which was an historic home next to the center. TFAC allowed TPS to use that house for their sculptor’s activities in exchange for renovating the building. This Farwell Annex, aka Studio Two, served wonderfully for

sculpting classes and shows for many years. TPS and TAC shared space downstairs and in the back of TFAC for their painting and drawing activities from the late 1980s through the early 2000s. TAC was the first to leave TFAC after purchasing a building at Harmon Field.

TFAC needed the rooms then occupied by only TPS and offered them, once again, the use of Farwell House. The board of TAC then voted to move to a more commercial downtown location to increase (Continued on page 11)

foot traffic. In 2010 TPS rented and moved into their present home at 26 Maple St., where they have increased attendance each year. The 2013 schedule includes nine Themed Art and Juried Art shows, five Art Wine and Cheese seminars featuring local artists and six classes or one-day workshops and weekly figure drawing classes with a live model. Business in TPS’s Gift Gallery is brisk and features all forms of artwork, note cards, handmade scarves and jewelry. Artist Barbara McComb Thomas joined TPS two years ago but began painting when she was 8-years-old. “It’s an opportunity to show your work and get support from other people,” Thomas said. “That’s not easy to do as an artist on your own, so TPS really is serving the community by fostering this companionship

Ronzello to teach composting at ICC Polk Center Aug. 19 Organic gardener and farmer Jamie Ronzello will teach “Intro to Composting” at the ICC Polk Center in Columbus starting Monday, Aug. 19. Ronzello will cover the down and dirty basics of compost building including materials to use and how to build and maintain a pile. Students will learn the proper uses of compost and what composting techniques are required for it to be used on a certified organic farm. This class will also include a segment on vermicomposting and hands-on experience building an actual compost pile. The class will meet each Monday and Friday from 9:30 – 11 a.m. Aug. 19 – Sept. 6. A native of Polk County, Ronzello has worked on and managed several farms from the Pacific Northwest to the South Pacific. She currently owns and operates a small organic farm on the island of Molokai, Hawaii, where all of the

vegetables are grown with what she likes to call “beyond organics” or through the use of “biological farming.” She doesn’t rely on bagged fertilizer but utilizes time-old techniques such as cover cropping, crop rotation, composting, rotational poultry management, intercropping and IPM management. Ronzello, owner and creator of Barking Deer Farm gourmet products, is also a passionate cook who focuses on using local fresh whole foods. She has studied medicinal herbs for several years, apprenticed at the Herb Pharm in Williams, Oreg., is a certified master food preserver and is working towards her certificate in holistic nutrition consulting at the American College of Healthcare Sciences.

Cullen’s pottery featured at Thompson Garden Gallery Thompson Garden Gallery’s current featured artist is potter Jim Cullen whose world goes round. He lives in a round house; he throws mostly round pots in a round studio. Cullen is a retired filmmaker who relocated to Polk County from the midwest. He discovered the art and craft of pottery in 1976. After taking numerous workshops with various instructors in many locations, he started to teach others. He has instructed classes at the Spartanburg County Museum Art School and at Tryon Arts & Crafts. Educating others about pottery has become a life goal. In 2001, Cullen became a charter member of the Potters Council, a nonprofit subsidiary of The American Ceramic Society. The council is open to individuals who are passionate about pottery and who want to continue making the craft accessible to anyone interested. Also,

the council provides forums for knowledge exchange and for professional enhancement. For Cullen, his ceramics provide surfaces to paint and to carve patterns. These elements convey Cullen’s thoughts and feelings. “For me, throwing and decorating pots are forms of meditation,” Cullen said. “In these processes, I gain immense satisfaction as well as a sense of accomplishment.” Thompson Garden Gallery’s owner, Erin Thompson, comments, “We feel so fortunate to carry Jim Cullen’s pottery here. There’s an amazing variety in his work — all at affordable prices.” Thompson Garden Gallery showcases approximately 40 regional artisans among handpicked items for the home and garden. Summer gallery hours are from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. During the Saturday, Aug. 10, Gallery Trot, come by and meet

Now, many years later, she can choose her speed and route to suit her. Not having to stop and deliver a bottle or two to every other house.

Shingles vaccine can protect seniors Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about the shingles vaccine? I just turned 65 and have been thinking about getting vaccinated, but would like to know how effective it is and how it’s covered by Medicare. - Afraid of Needles Dear Afraid, Older adults who get the shingles vaccine can actually cut their risk of getting the painful condition in half, and those that do happen to get it are likely to have a milder case if they’ve been inoculated. Here’s what else you should know about the shingles vaccine, along with how it’s covered by Medicare. Shingles overview Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a burning, blistering, often excruciating skin rash that affects about 1 million Americans each year. The same

Savvy Senior virus that causes chickenpox causes it. What happens is the chickenpox virus that most people get as kids never leaves the body. It hides in the nerve cells near the spinal cord and, for some people, emerges later in the form of shingles. In the U.S., one out of every three people will develop shingles during their lifetime. While anyone who’s had chickenpox can get shingles, it most commonly occurs in people over age 60, along with people who have weakened immune systems. But you can’t catch shingles from someone else. Early signs of the disease include pain, itching or tingling before a blistering rash appears several days later and can last up to four weeks. The rash typically occurs on one side of the body, often as a band of blisters that extends from the middle of your back around to the breastbone. It can also appear above an eye or on the side of the face or neck. In addition to the rash, more than one-third of people who get shingles go on to develop severe nerve pain that can last for months or even years. Vaccination coverage The Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that everyone age 60 and older should get a one-time shingles vaccination – called Zostavax. Even if you’ve already had shingles, you still need the vaccination because reoccurring cases are possible. See zostavax.com or call 877974-4645 for more information or to locate a vaccine provider in your area. The vaccine is also very safe. For most people the worst side effect is mild redness or arm soreness. You also need to know that Medicare covers the shingles vaccine as one of its preventive benefits. But, unlike some other

“Early signs of the disease include pain, itching or tingling before a blistering rash appears several days later and can last up to four weeks. The rash typically occurs on one side of the body...” -- Jim Miller

vaccines paid through Part B, the shingles vaccination is covered by Part D. If you have a Part D prescription drug plan, it will pay for the vaccine itself and for your doctor or other health care provider to give you the shot. You are only responsible for paying the plan’s approved copay at the time you get vaccinated, which usually runs around $60 to $80. But, you need to make sure you follow your plan’s rules in order to keep your out-ofpocket costs down. If you’re vaccinated at a drugstore, check to make certain it’s in your Part D plan pharmacy network. Otherwise, the shot will cost you more than your usual copay. If you’re inoculated in a doctor’s office, check to make sure the office can bill your plan or at least can work through a drugstore in your plan’s network. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay the entire bill upfront and then claim reimbursement from your plan. Just to be safe, call your Part D drug plan ahead of time and ask what pharmacies and doctors in your area you can use to receive the shingles vaccine at the plan’s regular copay.

Veterans Day events will include a parade beginning at 9:30 a.m. followed by a memorial service at the Veterans Memorial Park In downtown Columbus. The activities should end around noon. As a service to veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs will have counselors available to provide information about benefits, health care and any personal claims the veterans may have. “We need to know if there are disabled or elderly veterans in our area who need a ride to and from the Veterans Day

events,” said Frank Ortiz, vice president of the Patriot Salute. “More specifically, we need to know where they live and whether or not they will need a wheelchair lift to make the trip. We want all the vets to come.” Those veterans needing transportation can call Frank at 828-894-3428 or email him at faortiz@windstream.net. It is important that veterans desiring this service call or email as soon as possible as these arrangements will require advance planning and coordination. This service is being offered by the Polk County Transportation Authority and will be funded by generous contributions of patriots in the community. – article submitted by Otis Livingston

Sculptors (TPS) and numerous area artists who willingly share their work. “Our patients, our staff and visitors often comment about the wonderful world of art on display in hallways,” said Ken Shull, hospital CEO. “It’s nice to watch people slow down and take note of the paintings and the artists. It’s like we have our own personal gallery here, but we always welcome the community to come enjoy as well.” This recent exhibit features several amazing pieces by artists throughout Polk County, including a vividly colorful series of downtown Tryon by Marie King, a former employee of St. Luke’s Hospital. About 100 original pieces are currently on display. What once was a small exhibit has more than tripled to represent about 30 local artists, and the exhibit has grown to fill several hallways throughout the hospital as well as the Outpatient Rehab Center, located at 799B West Mills St., Columbus. St. Luke’s certainly appreciates the hard work and commitment of Jean Wright and PJ Rosen of TPS, who have

Raines completes national service program in Denver They responded to Hurricane Sandy, fought fires, provided relief to disaster-devastated communities, mentored disadvantaged youth, coordinated thousands of volunteers and developed into the nation’s future leaders. AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC) graduated 479 members this July, who completed more than ½ million hours of service and more than 275 projects, including 78 disaster recovery projects. Hannah Raines of Tryon was part of this effort and completed 10 months of full-time service to communities in need. Raines, who arrived at NCCC’s Southwest Region Campus in Denver on Oct. 9, 2012 to begin her term of service, graduated from the program on July 26, 2013. Most corps members departed from their respective campus and began travel to their home of record immediately following their ceremony. Each member was part of a team of about 10 who completed

a series of six- to eight-week-long projects in different communities across the country. NCCC projects support disaster relief, environmental stewardship, energy conservation, infrastructure improvement, and urban and rural development. Among their many projects, some teams in the graduating classes were called upon to respond to Hurricane Sandy, tornadoes in Moore, Okla., and wildfires in Colorado and California. AmeriCorps NCCC certifies 100 percent of its members in disaster relief, and has responded to national disasters since the program began in 1994. There are four other NCCC campuses located in Sacramento, Calif.; Perry Point, Md.; Vicksburg, Miss.; and Vinton, Iowa, each of which is a hub for its respective area of the country, though teams will travel to other regions for disaster relief projects. Before joining NCCC, Raines attended Polk County High School and the University of

North Carolina at Charlotte. She is the daughter of Mary Raines and Keith Raines. AmeriCorps NCCC is a fulltime, residential, national service program in which 1,200 young adults serve nationwide each year. During their 10-month term, corps members – all 18 to 24 years old – address critical needs in communities. In exchange for their service, corps members receive $5,550 to help pay for college or to pay back existing student loans. Other benefits include a small living stipend, room and board, leadership development, increased selfconfidence, and the knowledge that, through active citizenship, people can indeed make a difference. AmeriCorps NCCC is administered by the corporation for national and community Service.

In recognition of the long life and extensive career of architect Holland Brady, there will be an exhibition of his work at the Tryon Fine Arts Center beginning on Tuesday, Aug. 14 and running until Aug. 30. A reception, hosted by Brady’s partner, Dean Trakas will be held on Thursday, Aug. 15 from 6-8 p.m. The event, which is sponsored by friends and associates, will present plans, drawings and photographs of a number of residences and other buildings designed by Brady, as well as items representative of other interests in his life. Computeraided design was anathema to Brady, who used only his imagination, his incomparable breadth of knowledge and his pen throughout his career of 62 years, during which he worked on more than 700 structures. This skill and artistry is clearly evident in the exquisitely detailed drawings that will be on display. Born in Tryon in 1925 at the old St. Luke’s Hospital, which was then located above what is now Owens Pharmacy on Trade Street, he attended Tryon High School in the same class as his future wife, Carolyn Flynn.

Later in his career, he was joined by Julie McIntyre and Dean Trakas, with whom he worked until shortly before his death on June 20 of this year. Brady spent a year at Clemson University before serving as a medic in the US Army in Europe during World War II. After returning from Europe in 1946, he continued his education at the University of Michigan, graduating in 1950. After graduating he worked for architects Paul Schweikher in Chicago, Ill, Roger Bailey in Ann Arbor, Mich. and Anthony Lord in Asheville before returning to Tryon to assist Shannon Meriwether, becoming his partner in 1953. He continued to work in Tryon, forming his own company after Meriwether’s retirement. In the 1960s and1970s, he occasionally collaborated with his brother-in-law, Ligon Flynn, in designing several homes in Tryon and the student housing (Continued on page 37)

Tryon Garden Club’s 85th anniversary celebration Aug. 10 The Tryon Garden Club, North Carolina’s fourth oldest garden club, is celebrating its 85th anniversary by combining its love of Pearson’s Falls — purchased by the club in 1931 and now in the Smithsonian Institution Archives of American Gardens and Polk County’s number one tourist attraction — and its pride in the abundance of talented local artists eager to reveal the beauty of the falls. The club invited artists of all disciplines in Polk County and Landrum to participate in “Four Seasons of Creativity Inspired by Pearson’s Falls,” encouraging them to enjoy the glen between September 2012, and July 2013, for inspiration in this unique first-time event. The result will culminate in an exhibition of selected work to be judged by Frank Thomson, curator of art at the Asheville Museum of Art. A silent auction of the artwork will be held during the event at the Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) on Aug. 10 from 6-9 p.m. The Tryon Garden Club is partnering with the artists who will set the minimum price for their work, which they will receive if sold, and any amount

Orchard Inn in Saluda awarded TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for 2013 MarketPlace For the second year in a row The Orchard Inn has been awarded Trip Advisor’s Certificate of Excellence, as well as Green Leader’s Silver Level Designation. The inn has also received a Four Star Top Rating from Restaurant.com. The Orchard Inn, located in Saluda, was originally built in 1926 by The Brotherhood of Southern Railroad as a summer retreat. It is on the National Register of Historic Places as the Railroad Clerk’s Mountain Home and is a member of the prestigious Select Registry group of Inns and B&B’s throughout North America. Marc and Marianne Blazar purchased the inn in 2010 from Bob and Kathy Thompson and

have worked tirelessly to upgrade the amenities and rooms as well as the fine dining restaurant. There are eight rooms upstairs in the inn, one suite downstairs and five cottages situated on 12 acres with stunning mountain views. Marianne, who learned her culinary skills in her native Vienna, Austria, the inn’s chef serving breakfast everyday, dinner Thursday through Saturday and brunch on Sunday. The restaurant, with wonderful mountain views from every table, is open to the public by reservation. The TripAdvisor Award was given to The Orchard Inn based on unsolicited reviews from guests such as the following: “A rare find - simple elegance and genuine hospitality” “My family and I have spent many years visiting the Saluda/ Hendersonville area and thanks

to the Orchard Inn, we have now begun a tradition of a family reunion/birthday celebration at the inn each July.” Marc makes sure that you are comfortable and that you have everything you need. Marianne is an fantastic chef and there is no need to ever leave the inn because the breakfast is out-ofthis-world (the best scones I have ever tasted) and the dinner is just perfect in every way; the ambiance, the wine selections and the affordable, fixed price menu, which offers interesting and delicious choices so there is sure to be something for everyone.” “I have reviewed other properties and restaurants for Trip Advisor, but I confess that selfishly, it is with mixed emotions that I write about the Orchard Inn because it is simply a oneof-a-kind, fabulous experience and as the word spreads, I don’t want anything to change about this wonderful refuge from the real world.” – article submitted by Marc Blazar
