Polk needs leader to bring YMCA Anonymous donation no longer available by Leah Justice

Greater Spartanburg YMCA CEO Rick Callebs said if the Polk County or Landrum area funds it, the YMCA would operate it. Making the vision of a YMCA in Polk

County or Landrum a reality, Callebs said, would require a community member organizing and fundraising for the construction of a facility. “Somebody has to step up and say ‘I’ll lead this campaign,’” said Callebs. “It’s a joint effort.” (ymca continued on page 3)

CLARIFICATION: The NC voter identification article on the front page of the Friday, Sept. 5 Bulletin incorrectly stated that residents could no longer register to vote during early voting in this year’s municipal elections. The only change for this year’s municipal election is that 16-year olds can no longer pre-register to vote while obtaining a driver’s license at the department of motor vehicles. The law allowing residents to register while early voting is repealed as of Jan. 1, 2014. The Polk County Board of Elections will also in 2014 ask voters if they have identification but voters will not be required to present identification at that time. The new law requiring photo ID takes effect for the 2016 election.

(continued from page 1)

Callebs said about six months ago Tryon Estates contacted the YMCA saying it was willing to donate land. Since, Callebs said the YMCA has met with several organizations and conducted a feasibility study based on population and demographics. The study indicated that within a 20-minute radius of Tryon Estates in Columbus, there could be 1,560 members interested in joining a YMCA. Callebs also said the YMCA has met with other areas, including the City of Landrum about building a new facility. Tryon Town Council briefly discussed interest during its Aug. 20 meeting saying that Harmon Field could again be an option. Efforts to locate a YMCA at Harmon Field failed in 2008. Callebs said a rough estimate for a small facility in Polk County, that would include an indoor pool, fitness center and children’s game room, would cost between $4-$5 million. Callebs mentioned the

YMCA would like to have $1 million reserved as scholarships to families who cannot afford a membership. “There’s a lot of variables,” Callebs said. “We’ve got to make it affordable.” At one time there was a $500,000 anonymous donation for a YMCA to locate at Harmon Field, but Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF) Executive Director Elizabeth Nager recently said the funding is no longer available. The Greater Spartanburg YMCA has two facilities; one in Spartanburg and another in Duncan, S.C. with each having its own board of directors and budget. Callebs said a facility in Polk County would operate the same way. The new Thomas E. Hannah facility in Spartanburg, referred to as “The Tom,” is an 80,000 squarefoot building with 15,000 square feet used by Spartanburg Regional Rehabilitation Services. Callebs estimated that a Polk/ Landrum area facility would need

more like 20-25,000 square feet. “We’ve got to find the right leadership up there to make it happen,” said Callebs, who lives in Columbus. “We think we can operate it. I’d love to see that happen. I live there and plan to retire there.” On the Tryon Daily Bulletin’s facebook page responses were mixed as to whether or not citizens here would support a YMCA facility. Bonnie Ann Rapossa Rossi said, “I would every day! It would be awesome!” Meanwhile, Laura E. Cintrón didn’t agree with Rossi’s enthusiasm.

“Won’t a YMCA take away from what we already have in Polk County,” Cintrón asked. “Why are we not supporting the local small business owners and always bringing in duplicate of what the towns already have... Instead of bringing in new, let’s figure out a way to build up what we have.” Polk County had a YMCA facility called Camp Skyuka at the top of White Oak Mountain that opened in 1951 and ran until the 1980s as a camp for children. The camp closed in the 1980s for financial reasons and a development company sold the main lodge, cabins and lots to private owners.

Tryon approves special fees for debris pickup by Leah Justice

Tryon residents could see a special bill if the town picks up large amounts of brush, limbs, shrubs or construction debris. Town council met Aug. 20 and approved an amendment to chapter 50 of its town code regarding garbage to implement that large pickups include a special charge. The town will still pick up loads that are up to two wheelbarrows full of either brush/limbs/ shrubs or construction and demolition materials free of charge. Between two wheelbarrows and ½ truckload will now be a $25 charge and between ½ truck load and a full truckload is a $50 fee for brush/limbs/shrubs. Construction and demolition fees are $30 for two wheelbarrows and ½ truckload and $60 for between ½ truckload and a full truckload. Definitions for a ½ truck load states that it is 6.5 cubic yards of materials. A full truckload is 13 cubic yards of materials. Tryon mayor and commissioners began discussion of charging for large pickups during this year’s budget sessions. Resident Bill Ingham told commissioners in the last few months he’s had trees fall into

That is what you gave me when you taught me.”

his yard that are owned by his neighbor and asked who would be responsible to get that hauled. Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said that’s one of those questions the town hasn’t thought of yet. Resident Bill Crowell also said the power company will cut trees and leave them in his yard. Council decided to exempt the fees during times of obvious storm damage. Attorney Bailey Nager cautioned town leaders saying he wasn’t sure the town wants to get into the business of storm damage. Nager suggested Tryon talk to Saluda, where they’ve had mega piles that took weeks and weeks to clear. Other questions included debris that is placed on the edge of someone’s property from a neighbor, which happens in some neighborhoods. Crowell said people come to his street from Whitney Ext. to put their debris in a pile, but there may be four households in the pile for the week. Town public works director Joel Burrell said his staff will talk to people before they send a bill and the town won’t charge for a dipper-full of debris, just a ½ truckload or more.

Jill M. Patt, Dvm, of Arizona had this to say: “I remember Amy from more then 20 years ago when I was training with her in AZ. Even then she was an amazing rider She is a wonderful human and such a skilled trainer. Wishing her a full recovery.” As Barrington recovers, cheer cards can also be sent her way through Spartanburg Regional hospital’s website at www. spartanburgregional.com/Pages/ CheerCard.aspx.

Local mobile businesses drive profits and tow costs by Kirk Gollwitzer

Food lovers aren’t the only ones finding the products and services they crave coming to a location near them. While food trucks became a recognizable business trend about two years ago, even more businesses are taking up the “We’ll come to you” mantra. Pup ‘N Tub Mobile Grooming Service and Mill on Wheels are two area businesses that transport their services to their customer’s doorstep. “It’s much more convenient for our customers to call us when they have a tree down rather than just calling a tree service,” says Amy Carroll, co-owner of Mill on Wheels. Amy and her husband, Chris, tow their orange, gas-powered sawmill down the highway and directly to the fallen tree. Within minutes, what was once a tree blocking a driveway, soon become a perfectly cut stack of usable lumber. “Turning woods into goods” is the business slogan of Mill on Wheels. “We had one of our customers build a wonderful piece of furniture from their 200 year-old tree,” said Carroll. In other cases the Carrolls take the lumber back to their own wood-drying kiln either for the customer or their own lumber inventory. With the help of two other investors, Chris and Amy purchased a Wood-Mizer, portable sawmill, and hit the road. When the mobile sawmill arrives on the scene, the entire trunk of a

tree is positioned on the cutting platform and sliced into customsized lengths of lumber. For Vivian Cuddihee, owner of Pup ‘N Tub Mobile Grooming Service, the amount of planning and preparation took a bit longer. Cuddihee moved to Tryon from California and wanted a change of career from the insurance industry to the care and grooming of pets. “I had some experience working with a pet grooming franchise

Columbia. She then researched the local market and determined that her business plan was valid. With the help of her husband, Vivian worked to launch her dream. Lavin, developed the graphic design that would partially cover the outside of Vivian’s 1990 GMC short-base bus, while she worked with a designer to equip the vehicle with the tools of her trade. “It’s a four-window bus, usually used by churches,” said Cuddihee. The mobile grooming shop is entirely self-sufficient having both hybrid battery power and a six-gallon heated water supply. While her schedule offers some flexibility, the customer demand is the true driver. “I can do as many as eight dogs a day, but prefer to do two to three larger dogs,” she said. Each dog can take one to two

hours to groom and Cuddihee says she prefers not to spend more than three hours on a single animal. While successful mobile businesses are forging their own path, it is certainly not one without potholes. Initial investment costs and unexpected repair bills can mean disaster for a mobile business. “I once had to replace my engine and was out of commission for five months. It was horrible,” said Cuddihee. Luckily she developed a contingency plan. Cuddihee converted the back of her home into a temporary pet grooming shop. “I would go out and pick up my clients and bring them to my house and take them home when I was finished,” recalled Cuddihee. Other factors – fuel costs, tire wear and traffic – determine success of a mobile business. “It’s the unknowns that get you,” said Carroll, “sometimes

it’s difficult to get the equipment to the exact location and other times the size of the tree might be much larger than we expected,” Amy Carroll said. Cuddihee also has to prepare for contingencies like unleveled terrain or an unruly and sometimes dangerous pet.

Both businesses would agree that all sides of the balance sheet should be considered when starting a mobile business, not to mention customer demand. For information on both mobile businesses visit their websites at www.pupntubmobile.com and www.millonwheels.com.

Friendship Council returns from summer hiatus The Thermal Belt Friendship Council will resume its normal meeting time starting Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 6 p.m., at Roseland Community Center. The Friendship Council meets the second Tuesday of each month at Roseland Community Center (intersection of East Howard and Peake Streets, Tryon) to promote racial unity, diversity and inclusiveness. The organization takes a hiatus during the months of June, July and August following its annual community picnic. The community picnic this past June featured food, socializing and a wonderful traditional Mexican folk dance group â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sin Fronterasâ&#x20AC;? (Without Borders) from Asheville, N.C. Approximately 200 local residents from Tryon, Saluda, Green Creek and Landrum attended the event. The community picnic is the culminating event of the Friendship Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual events. Events include workshops on diversity and inclusiveness, health and wellness, financial planning, as well as community outreach. The Friendship Council annual events include Christmas caroling at White Oak Manor, a Christmas community potluck, as well as its Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration where the organization presents a Martin Luther King Jr. scholarship to a graduating high school senior. The Friendship Council also

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purposes of the monthly lunches are twofold. First, it is to promote the visibility of members of our community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; black, white and Hispanic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; coming together throughout the community as one big family. The second purpose of the lunches is to promote local entrepreneurs.â&#x20AC;? -- Dr. Joseph Fox, Friendship Council President

meets once a month for lunch at a local restaurant. Dr. Joseph Fox, Friendship Council President, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The purposes of the monthly lunches are two-fold. First, it is to promote the visibility of members of our community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; black, white and Hispanic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; coming together throughout the community as one big family. The second purpose of the lunches is to promote local entrepreneurs.â&#x20AC;? Dr. Fox also said the Friendship Council supports diversity programs of the Tryon Fine Arts Center, as well as the diverse movies shown at the Tryon Theater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A group of Friendship Council

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sin Fronterasâ&#x20AC;? dancers entertained members of the Friendship Council at the groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s June meeting earlier this year celebrating the heritage of all members of the community. The Friendship Council resumes its monthly meetings Sept. 10. (photo submitted)

members attended the showing of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Red Tailsâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;42â&#x20AC;? when they played at the Tryon Theater,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Members often will attend such movies as a group on Saturday evenings and/or during the Sunday showing. It is our effort to show local businesses and organizations that we endorse their diversity initiatives.â&#x20AC;? Membership in the Thermal Belt Friendship Council is free. No membership fees are collected from its members. Much of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outreach, programs and workshops have been supported financially through the Polk County Community Foundation,

St. Luke Hospital and local businesses. The organization was founded in the late 1980s in response to a march by the KKK in Tryon. Black and white residents protested in a nonviolent fashion by staying away from downtown Tryon during the march. Those members that were present turned their backs to the KKK as they marched down Main Street.

BBBS announces Bowl for Kids’ Sake Oct. 26 Bowl for Kids’ Sake is the signature fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters organizations across the country. Locally it is the most successful and costeffective event benefitting Big Brothers Big Sisters, providing crucial funding to support their mentoring services. This event assures that more Bigs and Littles can be paired up, more friendships can begin, and improved outlooks on life can be started. Bowl for Kids’ Sake will be held on Oct. 26, noon to 2 p.m., at Autumn Lanes in Forest City, N.C. The day of the event is a celebration, with each team bowling two games, enjoying pizza, winning door prizes and celebrating community support for BBBS. Funds for the event are raised primarily through sponsorships – a perfect way for area businesses, clubs, churches and individuals to have a positive impact on our community. Groups of community members form teams and solicit pledges to donate to BBBS. With sponsorships to underwrite associated costs, the pledges raised by bowlers go directly to support Big Brothers

Big Sisters mentoring programs. Such success allows Big Brothers Big Sisters to match and support many more young people with caring adult mentors. Big Brothers Big Sisters works to help children facing adversity achieve positive benefits. Mentors help broaden children’s perspectives and help them learn how to make good choices. With the challenges that families currently face, it’s more important than ever to support efforts to help our youth grow into responsible adults. Big Brothers Big Sisters asks area citizens to please join in making this happen… by participating in a fundraiser, sponsoring an event, making a donation or volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Together, we can start more children on the path to fulfilling their potential – and change the trajectory of their lives. For more information on Bowl for Kids’ Sake or Big Brothers Big Sisters, email polk@ bbbswnc.org or call 828-859-9230. – article submitted by Karen Dacey

Runners at last year’s Ache Around the Lake Run/Walk. (photo submitted)

Eighth annual Ache Around the Lake Run/Walk offers $250 Millard & Company Challenge Ache Around the Lake organizers are excited to announce that Andy Millard of Millard & Company has again offered a $250 cash challenge to the male and female runner who breaks the course record in their category. That’s right - $500 is up for grabs. “Being a runner myself, I want to see this race promoted,” said Millard. “We have several great running events in our area and one way to promote these is to attract really good runners. The Ache course is tough and hilly but beautiful. This is such a unique race and I

hope the Millard & Company challenge appeals to these great runners and draws attention to our area for this race and other area events.” Ache Around the Lake, set for Sept. 21, is an annual benefit for St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation that includes The Ache (8K or 5 miles) and The Ouch (a two-mile fun run). All funds raised during this year’s “Ache/Ouch” will be used toward renovations and upgrades to the Center of Behavioral Medicine at St. Luke’s Hospital. In 2012, the goal is to raise $25,000 to help cover the costs

of painting, new flooring in the nurses’ station and main hallway, two new couches, upgraded visitor chairs for patient rooms, two projector televisions and other enhancements throughout the center. The registration cost for each race is cheaper before Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. (online only) and increases after Sept. 10 until race morning. T-shirts will go to the first 200 registered participants.
