TFAC building receives facelift as part of master site plan Work on the Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) continues quietly and intensely on Melrose Avenue in Tryon. Less conspicuous painting and rockwork have recently replaced the loud and dramatic work of house removal and earth moving. Terry Hudson and his team of skilled workers, responsible for many beautiful rock walls throughout Polk County, are again working magic at the TFAC campus. The master site plan also includes “minor” work on the exterior of the building. A crew of painters is in the process of pressure washing and repainting the building – not an easy feat on the hillside property. Rick Dunn and his team are utilizing cranes situated in the parking lot of neighboring Lanier Library to lift painters to the top of the 43-year-old art (Continued on page 4)

center building. Changes to the front of the building include not only cleaning and painting, but some updating as well. The cloudy glass over the front doors will be replaced. The lantern over the center door, cracked for years, has been removed; giving a clean and open look to the new façade. Lighting fixtures are in place to illuminate 10’ banners on both sides of the entrance, giving a more contemporary look to the 43-year-old center. “We are striving to provide an up-to-date, beautiful and accessible gathering place in our community for a wide variety of performances, lectures, classes,

and exhibits, both inside the building and outside in the gardens and amphitheater,” says Beth Child, TFAC executive director. “We are grateful for a facility that can offer so much to our community and beyond.” The renovation project, which began in June 2012, is scheduled to be complete in early 2013. If you have any questions or comments, please call 828-859-8322 or email info@tryonarts.org. Tryon Fine Arts Center, located on Melrose Avenue in the Town of Tryon, has been a center for participation in the visual and performing arts for over 43 years attracting a diverse range of audiences. – article submitted by Marianne Carruth

Morgan Nunez of Tryon recently on various federal drug charges, according to Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill. James Ira Storey, of 41 Bradley Turn, Mill Spring is still wanted. Avelioneda-Alviar and Nunez were taken into federal custody after being indicted on charges in Asheville. The Polk and Rutherford sheriff’s offices executed a search warrant on April 19, 2012 and found one pound of methamphetamine, one ounce of cocaine, approximately three ounces of marijuana, approximately $35,000 in cash and five Polk County Sheriff’s Office bulletproof vests, according to Sheriff Hill. The case was then turned over to federal officers. The Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is currently investigating how the men obtained the bulletproof vests, Hill said. The sheriff’s office was assisted in the case by the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Customs officers and the N.C. Highway Patrol. Anyone with information concerning the whereabouts of Storey is urged to contact the sheriff’s office at 828-894-3001.

• TUBA Christmas (continued from page 1)

“When we arrived in the community we wanted to do something with music that didn’t take rehearsal after rehearsal, but would allow us to give something special to residents,” Stan said of the event last year. The first Tuba Christmas was held in 1998 with 39 participants and was to be held outdoors at the Polk County courthouse. When rain moved through, the event was moved to the Stearns Auditorium. Since, the concerts have been held in the Polk County High School auditorium. Players range in age from 11 to mid 80s and have hailed from the Carolinas to Pennsylvania. With the help of many volunteers, TubaChristmas has become an annual and much anticipated part of the Christmas season with a concert open to the community at no cost. This year’s concert is dedicated to the memory of the concert’s first conductor, Walter Moore, who came from Hendersonville in 1998. After teaching in West Virginia and New Jersey, Moore and his wife had retired to Hendersonville but his love for band music came with him. He joined the Hendersonville Community Band where he met the Howells

who invited him to be the conductor that first year. Moore’s wife, Darlene, says, “He devotWalter Moore ed his life to the teaching and conducting performances of all ages, and they in turn gave him their very best.” During Moore’s two years in Texas, Jim Stokes, from the Hendersonville Community Band, served as conductor. On his return Moore picked up the baton again until he retired. Dr. Michael Shallock, of Western Carolina University, followed for several years. Dr. William Bryant, from A.C. Reynolds has been on the podium since then. Each person performing in the concert leaves the event with a photo postcard of the group that year, full stomachs from the Rotary-sponsored lunch and hopefully fond memories. Each year’s group of musicians typically plays to about 700 audience members – just shy of a full house at PCHS – a milestone organizers would love to hit this year.

Tryon considers picketing policy by Leah Justice

An anti-abortion protest held in downtown Tryon in October sparked Tryon officials to consider a picketing policy during the Nov. 20 town council meeting. Tryon Town Manager Caitlin Martin said she was asked to put the item on last week’s agenda after the picketing that occurred in Tryon last month. On Oct. 21, 52 members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church lined the sidewalks of Trade Street holding signs against abortion. Tryon commissioner Doug Arbogast expressed concerns during the council meeting and asked if there is any way the town could prohibit future protests from blocking businesses, “because that was an issue,” he said. Council discussed the possibility of restricting future picketing to a certain area, with McCown Street mentioned. Town attorney Bailey Nager said the issue is a little bit “dicey,” because the town is talking about

the right to free speech. Nager suggested if the town is going to make restrictions it should say that in the ordinance, such as that picketing should not be done in front of open businesses. “You can regulate time and place,” he said. Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said within reason the town has a right to restrict picketing. He suggested restricting demonstrations to McCown Street since it gives people downtown access and a safe place. Martin said the town’s current ordinance states that people are allowed to picket or demonstrate as long as it doesn’t interfere with public safety. Commissioner George Baker said he doesn’t have a problem with having a police officer on the street during picketing. Council directed Martin to look into the policy further and decided to discuss options during its Dec. 18 meeting.

Friendship Council plans outreach programs The Thermal Belt Friendship Council has met to discuss outreach programs that fulfill its strategic goal of inclusiveness. The Friendship Council is a loosely based organization to promote discussion related to social, racial, equality and diversity issues in surrounding communities. The mission has been simply to bridge the racial gap between our communities. The organization was formed in April 1986, in protest to the Klu Klux Klan’s planned march in Tryon. Concerned black and white citizens called a meeting when it was learned such a march would take place in downtown Tryon. It was further learned that there was a possibility of violence. There were rumors that young people might attend the rally and protest the marchers by throwing rocks. Fifty people met at the home of a local resident, Bill Holcombe, to discuss possible protest options. A follow-up meeting was scheduled at the Congregational

Church the next week for the general public. Members of the black and white communities attended the meeting, as well as a State Bureau of Investigation agent. Discussions focused on a counter demonstration, as well as simply staying at home. The SBI agent suggested that residents ignore the KKK by staying at home. Several individuals felt as if that was too passive; therefore, it was decided to ask local business owners to close their businesses doing the march. Individuals that planned on being on the streets of Tryon would turn their backs to the KKK. The local residents did not want to lose the collaborative efforts that they had established; therefore, they decided to plan the very first “Friendship Council” community picnic. The picnic was held the next month at Harmon Field with more than 325 black and white residents in (Continued on page 14)

St. Luke’s Hospital honors volunteers for years of service One of the unique services provided by St. Luke’s volunteers is the Print Shop, which was created in 1978 after the St. Luke’s Hospital administrator asked for a volunteer to make copies (approximately 32,000 copies were needed each month). Today, the ambitious group of volunteers in the Print Shop contribute to the hospital by operating the in-house print shop for forms, business cards, training materials and many other printed materials. St. Luke’s Hospital recently honored volunteers with a luncheon to recognize the selfless men, women and young people who embody the American spirit of caring for one another. Honored for 3,750 hours of service was Barbara Holycross, for 4,750 hours was Gayle Cook and honored for 5,000 hours of service was Shirley Johnson. – article submitted by Jennifer Wilson

4-H creates Polk notecards This past summer local young people participated in the Polk County 4-H photography classes for beginners. These youngsters traveled the county looking for traits that make Polk County beautiful. As in the past the 4-H staff has taken one of each child’s photos and turned them into a set of eight note cards for area residents to purchase. This year’s scenes include Pearson’s Falls, Colt Creek and the view from White Oak Mountain to name a few.

“We are calling our cards ‘Naturally Beautiful Polk County,’ said, Helen Clark 4-H Agent for Polk County. “In addition to images of our natural environment we also have images of the Rotary Clock Plaza and the 1859 County Courthouse, plus others.” These note cards are perfect for stockings or any family who miss scenes from home. For more information stop by or call the extension center in Columbus at 828-894-8218. – article submitted by Helen Clark

planning, will be driven by power and politics somewhere else. How well do you think that will work for us? The power of water lies in those that supply the water and those that use the water. When the regional authority takes over, there will be a ban on the drilling of individual wells in any location that the regional authority can or could provide water. This is a standard operating procedure and it will happen because it takes away competitors to the regional authority. In Saluda, we fumbled the best opportunity we had to be a supplier of water after my mayoral re-election bid failed. We

had negotiated a deal to purchase the Tuxedo Water System from a private business. The system had a prolific water supply well that could have provided all the citizens and businesses of Polk County with water for decades to come. This would have given us significant negotiating power in the water wars to come. Unfortunately, the options and leverage we had to ensure that we owned all or a part of the Tuxedo system was squandered and the opportunity trickled away. Our future with regard to water will be determined by the suppliers and Saluda is not going to be among them. It is much better to negotiate from a position of strength than from weakness and the suppliers of water have and will always have the position of strength.

Joseph Pullara IV (left) who plays the trumpet will perform with organist Dr. Crys Armbrust (right) at the opening recital on the Bach’s Lunch/ Wednesdays at Noon Advent Recital Series at Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Tryon, Dec. 5. (photo submitted)

Organ recital at Holy Cross opens Advent Recital Series Organist Dr. Crys Armbrust will play the opening recital on the Bach’s Lunch/Wednesdays at Noon Advent Recital Series at Holy Cross Episcopal Church, on Dec. 5. Joseph Pullara IV, who plays the trumpet, will also perform. The selections will reference the concept of time, a theme most appropriate to Advent. Advent is the liturgical season dedicated to contemplation and preparation for the birth of Jesus Christ. The program will include compositions by J. S. Bach, Maurice Durufle, and several modern works in the jazz idiom by Aster Piazolla and Martin Nystrom. Dr. Armbrust holds a Ph.D. in Renaissance and 19th century British Literature from the University of South Carolina. His collateral interests include music performance, composition, and art history. He has served as music director for numerous Carolina churches, and has directed choral performances at the Washington National Cathedral, St. Albans Cathedral, Canterbury

Cathedral, and St. George’s Chapel, Windsor. Pullara is a native of Tryon and attended Polk County High School. After graduation in 2007, he enrolled at the University of Arkansas, from which he graduated in May 2012 with dual degrees in music education and performance. These 30-minute Advent recitals are free, and all are invited to attend. A box lunch will be available for purchase. For more information, please call the Holy Cross Episcopal Church office at 859-9741. Future Bach’s Lunch/Wednesdays at Noon Advent Recitals: Dec. 12 - John Malloy, violin; Kathleen Foster, cello; Kymric Mahnke, piano, performing the Trio in D minor, Opus 49, by Felix Mendelssohn Dec. 19 - Wanda May, soprano; and Jeanette Shackelford, piano The church is located at 150 Melrose Avenue, Tryon. – article submitted by Susie Mahnke

Now, that’s a birthday celebration if you ask me Truly, I had one of the best birthdays ever, several weeks ago. We women tend to want very little fuss once we hit a certain age: no reminders, please, that soon we’ll be free-basing Oil of Olay and embarking upon the exciting adventure that is Kegel exercises. Birthday cards with, “You know you’re getting old” jokes, featuring an old woman with body parts sagging so severely that she could begin using them to play hacky sack, really aren’t viewed as funny and we loathe hearing the family doctor use that despised phrase, “You know, as we get older,” before addressing complaints of aches and pains. Well, as my father would say, “Sod that.” I decided I was going to have a lovely birth day this year. Not birth night, when the family carts you out to either the obligatory Olive Garden or Cheesecake Factory, and the entire time beforehand is spent at work or doing laundry and not very special at all, but Birth Day. Paul was going to be out of town. “I’ve been offered a speaking engagement in California, but it’s over your birthday.” “Are you nuts? Money is money, take the gig; we’ll do something when you get back.” So the idea began to percolate in my head that, instead of having just a birth day, I would now

But now was the long-anticipated moment of true Birth Day self indulgence: cake for breakfast. And not the usual grocery store cake, but a tiny handcrafted ganache beauty I selected myself from a bakery in town. I lifted my hand, knife poised in mid air. The terriers leaned forward, vibrating in exquisite agony. Anyone spying in through the windows would have observed a middle-aged woman flanked by her fur-clad children at the kitchen table, wearing paper crowns and diving into cake served upon “company” china. It was wonderful. I nearly choked laughing myself silly and the dogs insisted being the rinse cycle for the plates before they were stowed away inside the dishwasher. We tumbled out the front door and went for a walk through the fields. And later that evening, watching recorded back-to-back episodes of PBS’ ‘Call The Midwife,’ I answered the phone, now rudely interrupting my peace. “Happy Birthday!” Paul chirped. “Have you had a nice day?” “Oh...” I hesitated, because a little guilt can also often result in a box of See’s chocolate from the west coast. “It was Okay.”

made that happen. Linda and her family had lost their Boxer a few months ago (that’s little Noah in the photo with Misty). Amber introduced them to Misty and related her whole story. The bond was immediate and strong. Linda made it clear to Amber that no matter what it took my sweet Misty would live out the rest of her life in her home. I visited Misty and Linda last week and I was hard pressed to hold back the tears of joy. As Linda and I spoke, Misty was all over me, soaking up attention like a sponge and rewarding me with kisses for my efforts. Misty went to the porch door and asked out. Linda and I joined her and after

she did her business we played for a few minutes. Back inside, Misty walked over to Linda and sat at her feet and looked up at me with a great big smile on her face. “I get it sweetheart,” I said to her, “but what pleases me more is that you get it.” A few days later I received an email from Amber that read, “Lennie, it has been an honor and an privilege to get to know you and to work with you.” I sat back and sighed as I sent a little prayer of thanks to our Lord, for it seemed to me that the shelter is being left in some pretty good hands. I have added Amber to my list of nicknames, henceforth I will call her “Promise.” Thanks for listening.

Nobody does It better!

“I was very pleased with our effort in the first half; it was an A-plus effort,” McEntire said. “The second half we did not come out with the same intensity and fire but still played (well) and got after it.” A previous area of concern for the Wolverines was rebounding but in this game it was a positive stat for the team as a whole. “We had 29 offensive rebounds and 53 overall, which is incredible. Todd (Yoder) had 21 and several other people had 7 or 8; we rebounded as a group well,” McEntire said. Tonight’s Landrum Game “It’s a lot of fun to play in an atmosphere like that early in the year.

Landrum will be as good as anybody we play all year. It will be a very tough test for sure,” he said.

Far-out Christmas

The lonely widow folk.

Love abounds And has no end, And everything in the middle … is yummy!

LOVE invites a single For a cup of steaming hot cocoa.

LOVE fills Christmas shoeboxes For children in third-world countries, LOVE picks an Angel Tree ornament And puts a smile on a child’s face, with a gift. LOVE bakes a luscious cake For cold and tired carolers. LOVE chooses a toy, with joy For the Christmas Toy Run. LOVE sends a card to

District One Schools announce canned food drive District One Schools is pleased to announce the thirdannual District One Food Collection Campaign. This is a wonderfully unique opportunity for District One Schools to work collectively to make a difference in our community. In addition, we believe in the mission of our district which is “to provide a quality, studentcentered education.” Encouraging civic involvement in our community is an integral part of the education of the students in District One. The district encourages its schools to continually find ways to reach out to the community through service and giving. Each year a theme is chosen to promote the food drive and this year the student councils at each school will lead the efforts. The students selected a theme that is representative of the group effort - “We Are 1.” While the district is made up of 10 schools with more than 5,000 individual students, it has proudly come together in this effort to impact our community. The goal is to collect nearly 50, 000 food items for distribution. The canned food drive started Monday, Nov. 12. While the drive will continue throughout the year, the district plans to collect and distribute the food items on two occasions. District One

am excited for my opportunity to continue here in the Upstate in my role as a State Farm Agent. I’ll be able to help the residents of Landrum and its’ surrounding area manage the

risks of everyday life, recover from the unexpected, and realize their dreams.” Ryan, her family and her team are excited about the opening of the new office.

Polk Central raises funds for Foothills Humane Society In celebrating Red Ribbon Week at Polk Central Elementary School, students enjoyed the theme, “These Paws Don’t Touch Drugs.” Red Ribbon Week is a nationally celebrated week with an emphasis on making good decisions in regard to drugs and alcohol. As a part of the week’s activities, students collected money for the Foothills Humane Society, calling the activity “Pennies for Paws.” Each classroom was given a picture of an animal under the care of the Foothills Humane Society and during the week collected pennies or other coins to help in the care of the animal.

At the end of the week, students had collected $257 to give to Foothills Humane Society. Recently staff from Foothills Humane Society visited the school to say thank you. They were accompanied by one of the animals featured in the fundraising efforts. All of the first graders were chosen to represent the school and present the check. There was a lively question and answer about shelter animals. Afterwards all of the interested students were allowed to pet the shelter dog who attended the presentation. – article submitted by Joyce L. Cox
