Wayward postcard: to Tryon from Malaysia A local resident recently received this postcard in his post office box. The card was sent from Kuantan, Malaysia. The scene on the front shows the Bayon Temple in Cambodia. The recipient, who wishes to remain anonymous, knows neither the sender nor the intended recipients: “Grandma and Jon.” On the card, the sender apologized that the last postcard had gone astray, and expressed hope that this one will “have more luck.” The Tryonite who did receive it decided that there is still a chance that the intended recipients get the card. Grandma? Jon? Call 828-859-9151 and verify sender’s name if this post card was intended for you. (photo submitted)

Several trees in the Depot Plaza of Tryon might have to be removed during the renovation process of the plaza’s parking lot. (photo by Samantha Hurst)
Arborist suggests removing several trees from Depot Plaza by Samantha Hurst
An arborist notified Town of Tryon officials early last week that his recommendation is to remove trees from the Depot Plaza parking lot as part of the area’s renovation project. Tryon leaders are currently piecing together a timeline for the project, funded by a NC Main Street Solutions Fund (MSSF) grant. “After surveying the situation at the old depot, this is my conclusion. The five oak trees in the parking lot will be damaged when the new parking lot is installed,” said arborist Dale Epperson in an email to Tryon Manager Joey Davis on Aug. 11. “Considering the stress and unhealthy state these trees are currently in, there is no question that it would be a waste of time and money to try and save these trees.” Tryon’s Director of Economic Development Crys Armbrust said a professional arborist was called in for the assessment after several concerns were raised about the trees’ condition. “Our plan calls for the trees to be replaced,” Armbrust said. “I’d personally like to see them replaced with caliper noble trees, so we can yet have that vertical
thrust.” Epperson said the oak closest to the building has had substantial limbs removed over the years, which allowed insects to enter the tree and disease to set up in its trunk. He said it is uncertain whether this tree could withstand the stress of the parking lot project. “Although this tree is not the most beautifully shaped tree it may be worthy of trying to save,” Epperson said. “This tree will need to be treated with a tree growth regulator to help with root shock recovery and possibly an insecticide to help deter any insects from finding a home during this stressful period. Even by doing this, there is no guarantee how the tree will react to the stresses of hot asphalt and soil compaction.” Epperson said the tree between the parking lot and N. Trade Street would also likely be lost. He said because of the injury this tree has sustained, it has begun to lose root structure, which has invited ants to begin eating on the root system. Armbrust said any removed trees would be offered to Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry for its firewood project.

were taken out of the project then others were put back in, but an electrical element was inadvertently taken out and never put back in. Tripp reviewed approximately $4,000 worth of change orders that council needs to approve, then announced another big change order was coming. “We have a large one coming in the neighborhood of $40-$50,000,” Tripp said. He explained part of the whole project was to replace the electrical, which has for years been covered under an awning. The town needs to connect the aerators to the new electrical and that wasn’t accounted for in the original bid, Tripp said. “How did that get missed?” asked Mayor Eric McIntyre. “I wish I had a good answer for you,” Tripp responded. Tripp said the project was over budget, so engineers had to take a lot out and that item was inadvertently taken out. Councilwoman Ernie Kan said this is the third month of the project and the second change order already and the town paid top engineers. She said she understands things happen in construction but questioned why some of it doesn’t fall back on the engineers. Tripp said the contractors, W.K.
Dickson and the town should have caught the mistake. “That’s why we pay you all,” Metcalf said. “If the town had to spot check everything, why would we be paying you?” Tripp said if the electrical wasn’t taken out by accident the town would still be paying for it, either on the front end of the project or now, because it’s part of the construction project. Councilman Richard Hall said the town asked specifically for that to be part of the project. “So where did it get lost, who lost it and they ought to be paying for it,” Hall said. “That’s my opinion.” Metcalf said the town paid the engineer to make sure things like this didn’t happen. “We keep on having to pay $50,000 here, $30,000 there, whatever it’s going to be,” Metcalf said, “it makes me wonder if everything else is going to be OK.” Tripp said he is sorry to hear that council is upset, but his firm stands by their design of the project. McIntyre said he understands some of the smaller, unknown change orders, such as the ones council approved on Thursday. One of the change orders was to increase a current pipe size of 8-inches to 10-inches because the larger size is needed for peak flows and another change order was raising the build-

ing floor two feet after discovering flooding concerns. McIntyre said what he doesn’t understand is how missed electrical is the contractors’ fault since the contractor builds off the engineer’s design. “I will agree the cost is going to be the same whether you take it out of your right pocket or your left,” said McIntyre. McIntyre continued to say that he thinks there was a mistake made and it looks bad because of the amount of money. He suggested if that was missed that Tripp and his firm take a look at the project again to make sure nothing else was missed. McIntyre said it’s hard to
explain to residents why the town will have to pay for that now. “It looks awful bad to have to pay for it now,” McIntyre said. “And I’m sure this council is going to get a lot of questions about that, and it’s actually put us in a spot where we shouldn’t have to answer that question.” Council agreed to direct Tripp to review the project again to ensure there are no more major problems. Tripp said he is disturbed about the conversation. “I’m disturbed because I’ve lost the confidence of this council,” Tripp said. “I’m personally upset that I’ve dissatisfied this council. I hope that I can make amends and address your concerns.” Columbus took out a $3 million (no interest) state loan to pay for the project along with an additional $43,109 the town is paying out of its budget over that loan, Tripp explained. Columbus also budgeted an additional $122,297 for the project to cover a five percent contingency. So far, with the approximate $4,000 in change orders approved last week, the town has spent approximately $8,000 of the contingency budget, leaving the town with approximately $114,000 left from its change order allowance. The project is scheduled to be complete next April, but with heavy rains this summer Tripp cautioned that the completion date could be later.

Polk makes new appointment to ICC board By Leah Justice
After rescinding its January decision to reappoint commissioner Ray Gasperson to the Isothermal Community College (ICC) Board of Trustees, commissioners appointed county resident Don Hoffman to the board. Commissioners met Aug. 5 and appointed Hoffman to the ICC board by a 4-1 vote, with Gasperson voting against. Hoffman and Gasperson were the only applicants to the board. Commissioner Ted Owens said Gasperson knew it was the county’s policy to take applications for the ICC board. The county reappointed Gasperson to the ICC board in January along with other commissioner appointments to volunteer boards but later said they didn’t realize the ICC board appointment was not a liaison member. The ICC board appointment from Polk is for a voting member. Commissioners
later said they should have taken applications from county residents for that position. During citizen comments, Renée McDermott said she respectfully disagrees with the analysis of county attorney Jana Berg saying the commissioners could rescind their previous appointment of Gasperson because of a general right of corporate boards of directors to rescind previous actions. McDermott said that may be correct in many instances, but not when there’s a more specific state statute that addresses the issue such as section 115D-19 of the N.C. General Statutes. “That statute is specifically about ‘removal of trustees’ from the boards of community colleges,” McDermott said. “You can’t get much more specific than that.” McDermott said the statute says it must be shown that a community college trustee is not discharging the duties of his office or is guilty of

immoral or disreputable conduct before he can be removed and that the state board of community colleges must make that charge. “That is, according to the statute, the majority of the Polk County Board of Commissioners is not empowered to remove a trustee from the college board,” said McDermott. Owens said he doesn’t think a commissioner should serve on the ICC board. “It turns it into a political football,” Owens said. His second reason, he said, is that people stood up there and said what a good job Gasperson did on the ICC board but he read in the Rutherford news that the ICC board of trustees is paying the president $38,545 more than the $110,923 state says to pay. Gasperson was on the board that approved that pay rate, plus a blanket travel allowance, Owens said.
Letter to the Editor
NC state law ignored To the editor: On Aug. 5, 2013, the other four commissioners took action that completed the removal of me, without just cause, as a member of the board of trustees (BOT) of Isothermal Community College (ICC). North Carolina General Statutes 115D-19 Removal of Trustees give the only provisions through which a trustee can be removed. This statute does not contain any language that would support the action taken against me by my fellow commissioners. Many have encouraged me to taken legal action in order to correct this injustice. After seeking legal advise, I realize that I have a potentially strong case. I also realize that legal action would require much time and expense. Therefore, I have decided that now is the time to move on. I hope that the new appointee to the ICC BOT will enjoy serving on this Board as much as I have for the last four years. – Ray Gasperson, Green Creek

In the past we have had flocks of Common Loon over 50 strong, hundreds of Redhead, Mergansers, Scaup and many other species of waterfowl.

can be somewhat hazardous. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t encourage hopping into the car and driving out during a major snowstorm, or more especially, a serious ice storm. Personal responsibility is important and besides, we do want to live a little longer to see what else may appear during the year. Simon Thompson has lived in WNC for the past 20 years.

• Lighter and more contrasting subjects and backgrounds will print better than subjects and backgrounds with similar hues. When possible, keep the background clean and simple, not too cluttered. • Focus on the people in your shots – zoom in on them so that their expressions can be seen. When possible, show people doing things rather than lined up facing the camera. • High-quality (100 or 200 dpi) .jpg formats are preferred, between 3 and 6 inches wide. • When you email the photo, if at all possible, please include in your email the names of all the people in your photo, identified from left to right. Photos without names are less likely to be published.
Thanks for your submissions… see you in the paper!

“Natural Wonders” at Tryon Arts and Crafts A new show with an emphasis on raw materials is scheduled to open on Friday, Aug. 23 at Tryon Arts and Crafts School. The show will run until Sept. 28. The “Natural Wonders” exhibit will feature artists who create works from wood, metal or clay. The display will feature the raw materials that each sculpture or painting has been derived from to show the transformation of the materials under the artist’s hand and with their imagination. A member of the woodcarvers’ group at Tryon Arts and Crafts School is Bill Davin. He has a large sculpture that measures almost 5 feet carved from a Cypress knee, which is the pointed eruption at the base of a Cypress tree. It depicts a gnarled portrait of a male face and is entitled “Spirit of the Cypress Swamp.” Another woodcarver/mem-
ber is Don Blackwell, a wellknown instructor and artist from Columbus. His carving from an old stump is a dual portrait entitled “El Anciano Espera La Muerte,” which translated means an old man waiting for death. It is carved from a black gum tree stump and will take a few moments for the viewer to decipher the image. Local artist Bob Neely has a couple of metal sheet pieces that give reference to the mathematical symbol “Pi”. Neely’s work shows his accurate and technical skills in a gridded wall piece that reflects light in an unusual manner. Christine Mariotti, gallery director, said she is excited for visitors to view the show as it represents the best of work created by the school’s craftspeople over the last few months and she believes everyone will be amazed at the transformation of the materials by talented artists.

Dorothy and Herbert Vogel
Upstairs Artspace shows film on art collecting Aug. 20 The Upstairs Artspace is screening a fascinating documentary film about art collecting on Tuesday, Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m. “Herb & Dorothy” is about Dorothy and Herbert Vogel, a humble couple in New York City who, in the course of a long married life, built one of the most important contemporary art collections in history. Herb was a postal clerk and Dorothy was a librarian. Starting in the 1960s, they discovered many artists who eventually became art world superstars; artists like Andy Warhol, Sol LeWitt, Chuck Close, Donald Judd, Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The Vogels had two criteria for their acquisitions (paid for mostly with Herb’s salary): the art had to be affordable, and it had to fit in their small, one-bedroom apartment. By the time they stopped collecting in the 1990s, they had more than 4,000 works, most of which they gave to the National Gallery of Art. “Herb & Dorothy” promotes understanding about collecting art as well as an appreciation for the current exhibit, “Seeing Is Believing: The Collection of Ray Griffin and Thom Robinson.” The exhibit is up for another two weeks, closing on Aug. 31. The film is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 6 p.m.; light refreshments will be served. Donations are encouraged in order for the Upstairs to continue offering important films about visual art. For more information, call 828-859-2828. – article submitted by Nancy Holmes

Members of the Tryon Concert Association board of directors recently presented Rita Landrum with flowers and an Orrefors crystal votive candleholder as a token of their appreciation for her insightful reviews of concerts over the past 18 years. When it is lit, the candleholder refracts light in countless directions through its many facets, just as Landrum’s reviews have illuminated the association’s concert audiences with commentary on countless pieces of music and the artists who have played them, including insightful critiques of their interpretations and technical skills. Landrum has a unique ability to articulate what she has heard, offering up the perfect metaphor or analogy that captures the essence of the performance. How often her readers have said, “I knew that – I heard that – but I couldn’t find the words to express what I heard.” Landrum had the words, and Tryon Concert Association is grateful for her special contribution to this unique organization, which has been “bringing
