Dan Ferebee loved the home he was renting in Tryon, but he wanted something of his own to cherish and lovingly restore.

Ferebee is an interior de-signer, after all, the owner of Bravo Interiors in Tryon. And what interior designer doesn’t love a project?

Ferebee said after scouring the area and not finding ex-actly what he was looking for in a home, his broker Happy McLeod showed him Mostly Hall, off Fox Trot Lane in Tryon.

“It was immediate. It was like when I walked in, the house hugged me,” Ferebee said.

McLeod said she knew it was the right home for Ferebee

– something an interior designer could appreciate with all of its historic and unique features.

“His face lit up,” McLeod said. “He walked in the house and he said, ‘This is it.’ Sometimes you just know that about a home.”

This home in particular, with its 4,000 square feet spread across three floors, involves many histori-cal connections to local families.

The home was built in 1912 for photographer Chris Bartol’s great-g randmothe r, Emma Payne Er-skine, a nation-ally known au-thor. Anson and Joy Merrick pur-chased the home from Faye and Carter Brown in the 1950s.

Ferebee held an open house in late May inviting a number of his friends and community members to view the home. Those guests also included one very special attendee – Linda Merrick Frieze.

Frieze, daughter of Anson and Joy Merrick, grew up in Mostly Hall.

“She walked through the house and told me stories of living here – where her bedroom was and how they would get back into the house through the laundry chute in the basement whenever they forgot keys,” Ferebee said. “That was such a treasure to have her visit.”

Frieze was 9 years old when her family moved in, and she lived there until she left home for col-lege. She had not visited the home since her parents sold it back in the 1980s.

Frieze said she was overjoyed to visit.

“It brought back a lot of memo-ries,” she said. “Christmas was beautiful there and I remember the snows, which were always so enjoyable.”

Frieze said the visit also evoked memories of the tire swings her father constructed and camping out on the sleeping porches in the summer.

The 1900s sleeping porch once ran the entire front length of the home with several other porches connected to bedrooms on the back-side. Those sleeping porches will eventually transform into sitting rooms, a laundry room and a master bathroom, Ferebee said of his plans.

Instead of replacing the old windows in the home, of which there are more than a dozen across the front alone, Ferebee said he wants to have them painstakingly restored. This is no small feat, as only a skilled artisan can work on the historic beveled glass, Ferebee

said. F e r e b e e

wasted no time getting started, c o m p l e t i n g a lot of work even in just the first three weeks of owning the home. He had crews reshape the once-round

columns in the open living area downstairs and restructure an open-ing from the kitchen to what will become his main living room.

He selected cool blue grays to coat the main walls. The floors will receive a Jacobean stain to comple-ment the blue tones of the walls.

Ferebee said his hope is to cre-ate a cool and inviting atmosphere in the home once again. Frieze said inviting and festive is exactly what she remembers the home being in her youth.

“It was a beautiful home – such a grand old lady,” Frieze said. “My parents used to have wonderful parties there. They would roll up the rugs and there would be danc-ing, while many of the adults who loved to sing would gather in the kitchen and sing.”

Bartol said his parents were good friends with the Merrricks, so he too remembers many a Christmas or cocktail party spent there. McLeod enjoys a personal connection as well, having spent much time at the home through high school and college because she and Merrick were such good friends, she said.

“To go back and be a part of it with so many connections was a fun thing to do,” McLeod added.

The Tryon Daily BulletinColumbus Fire Department in order to staff the department full-time.

Commissioners Ted Owens and Pack have recommend-ed the county take revenue from its general fund rather than raise taxes to grant in-creases requested by the Co-lumbus Fire Department, the Mill Spring Fire Department and the Polk County Rescue Squad.

Increases for Mill Spring Fire Department and the Polk County Rescue Squad are not included in next year’s budget.

Columbus Fire Chief Bobby Arledge told commissioners his department would have to d e c l i n e t h e money if the county took it out of the gen-eral fund, because he didn’t think it was fair for it to come out of the general fund. He also said his department needs the funding to come from a tax increase to ensure that it is sus-tainable for years to come in order to hire three employees.

Pack said the county has the money to give all departments and it wouldn’t be a one-time allotment.

But commissioner vice-chair Renée McDermott said she agreed with the chief in that each fire district should be self-sufficient and have a sustainable flow of income for their needs.

Pack made a motion to decrease property taxes by one cent, to fund Columbus and Mill Spring’s one-cent request and to take money out of fund balance to fund capital expenditures. Owens suggested adding funding for the rescue squad, so the mo-tion was amended to include

the rescue squad.Commissioner chair Ray

Gasperson said he has concerns with the proposed tax cut. He said the state in 2013-2014 is taking a ½-cent sales tax from counties, which will equate to a $300,000 to $400,000 loss of revenue. He also said the county is considering a water-line extension and he hopes if finances work out for the water line to go all the way up Hwy. 9 from Mill Spring. He added that Polk County, com-

pared to other counties, has a reasonable tax rate at 52 cents per $100 of proper ty valuation.

Pack said he looks at the taxpayer and there are a lot of people unemployed and there are county employees who have trouble paying their taxes.

“We have the money to be able to [make this tax cut],” said Pack.

McDermott said she thinks they all have concerns for vari-ous people in the county but commissioners still have to do what is right for the entire county looking forward.

“Cutting back just would not be responsible,” McDer-mott said.

She mentioned the county needing more reserves for Lake Adger Dam repairs and said it looks like those repairs could be needed sooner than later. She also said the county knows that sometime in the future it’s going to want to build a water treatment plant and the county has not set aside a dime for that.

The motion to lower taxes was defeated by a 3-2 vote, with commissioners Gasper-son, McDermott and Cindy Walker voting against and Ow-ens and Pack voting in favor.

The next motion to ap-prove the presented budget was amended to change how

the county funds possible fuel overages next year.

The budget was approved by a 4-1 vote, with Pack the sole vote against.

Owens, however, said he thought he was voting to ap-prove Walker’s amendment concerning the fuel contin-gency. Commissioners and county attorney Mike Egan later in the week listened to

The county’s total budget is for $24,986,571, which in-cludes the general fund, capital

improvements, special revenue funds and the enterprise fund for solid waste and water departments. The county is funding the school system an additional $150,000 next year and plans to put an additional $200,000 in its future Lake Adger Dam repair savings fund.

Local chiropractor presents research on Captiol HillDr. Winn Sams, a chiroprac-

tor at Adawehi Institute, was a recent presenter on the latest re-search findings related to children carrying heavy backpacks and book bags.

In meetings with federal of-ficials and leg-islative aides, Sams followed up on planning sessions she first hosted in 2009 with Jackie Woods, founder and director of Adawehi Institute, and former Representative David Guice (R-NC).

Sams was joined on Capitol

Hill by Richard W. Culatta from the Department of Education’s Office of Educational Technol-ogy Dr. George L. Askew, a

pediatrician and chief medical officer of the administration for children and families of the U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Human Ser-

vices. These two officials helped anchor the first discussions on Capitol Hill.

Studies show that the weight of children’s backpacks has doubled in the last 10 years,

Sams said. Research published in April involving more than 1,400 students in Spain concludes that children should not carry more than 10 percent of their body weight and that weights exceed-ing 15 percent of a child’s body weight can be damaging to young spines.

For more information, visit www.bacsupport.com.

Dr. Sams’ chiropractic office is located at Adawehi Institute off Fox Mountain Road in Co-lumbus. She may be reached at 828-817-4544. Read more about Dr. Sams at www.adawehi.com.

Summer style in our area re-ceived a boost from the arrival of Lucy’s Boutique earlier this year.

Mother and daughter duo So-nya and Lindsay Dobbins launched the new clothing boutique in Lan-drum March 31.

“This is something I’ve always wanted to do,” said Lindsay, who graduated about a year ago from Chapman High School. “We’ve been really excited by the re-sponse.”

Sonya Dobbins said they want-ed the clothing store to be acces-sible to a wide range of customers – young or mature – and not shy anyone away with prices.

“People have taken to us well and I think it’s because our price point is attractive,” Sonya said. “I’ve been delighted by how well it’s done.”

The average item in the shop costs about $40. There are items above and below that range as well, depending on what you are looking to buy.

Styles inside lean toward youth-ful and preppy looks, but Sonya and Lindsay said customers of varying age ranges and tastes can find something to meet their needs.

“We try not to have the same stuff as other boutiques,” Lindsay said. “Our biggest goal was to provide a place for someone to come in really quick and find an outfit or dress for a wedding or weekend event.”

The store’s primary lines in-clude dresses, shoes, jeans, hand-bags and a variety of accessories. Lucy’s also carries a small collec-tion of men’s clothing from South-ern Point Co. and hopes to add Coast apparel in the near future.

For the first two years Tucker Hamrick taught and coached at Landrum High School, he lived in Landrum athletic director John Cann’s basement.

Landrum is like family to Hamrick. That made his decision to leave Landrum for Chapman a tough one.

The Cardinal coach has ac-cepted a position to be an assis-tant principal at Chapman High School. Hamrick has spent the last 12 years at Landrum.

“I want to concentrate more on the education side of things,” Hamrick said of the move.

That was apparent in his coaching style as well.

“As a coach, I tried to teach the kids the sport, not just coach it.”

Hamrick has been the softball coach and football offensive co-ordinator for the last four years so he will leave a void.

Hamrick is the mastermind be-hind Landrum’s w i d e - o p e n spread offense on the gridiron. The Cardinals are coming off of one of its most successful seasons ever. Landrum finished 9-3 last season and Hamrick’s offense was key in the run.

The Cardinals have not yet named a new offensive coordi-nator for the upcoming football season. That offense, however, will remain in place, head coach

Russell Mahaffey said.“Coach Hamrick was a great

football coach,” Mahaffey said. “He has a great offensive mind.”

Hamrick spent the first eight years of his ca-reer as the junior varsity baseball coach and an assistant for the varsity baseball team before tak-ing over the soft-ball team four

years ago. Since taking over the softball

program, the Lady Cardinals were dominant. Landrum won the re-gion championship every year in Hamrick’s tenure and played for the Upper State Championship all four years. He was 75-25 as

coach.“He did a great job with our

softball program,” Cann said. “He was close with those girls.”

This was the path he wanted his career to take so he’s excited about stepping into the admin-istration, however, there will be plenty to miss.

“I’ll miss the games,” he said. “I’ll miss Friday nights and our softball games. I’ll miss every-thing about it.”

The loss of Hamrick is one that Cann sees as bittersweet, considering he rented the base-ment of the Cann home before he got married.

“I feel like he’s a son to me,” Cann said. “We’re going to really miss him, but at the same time we wish him the best.”

Landrum High School’s Hamrick leaves for Chapman High

“I’ll miss the games. I’ll miss Friday nights and our softball games. I’ll miss everything about it.”

As I type, summer is here and the thermometer bares witness to the fact. There’s not many better ways to beat the summer heat than to find yourself in a river.

Thankfully you don’t have to drive too far in Polk county to find the Green River somewhere close by. And the upper parts of the Green river are a favorite spot for folks to cool off.

Green River Adven-tures makes it easy to take advantage of the river resources with which we are blessed. They offer adventures in inflatable kayaks, hiking, swimming and rappelling.

Based in Saluda, Green River Adventures offers something the whole family can enjoy. They offer trips they describe as “mom approved,” and true adventure seeker trips.

The half day kayak trips run

Life Outside

Four Wallsby Rob

McComas

from the tuxedo hydro plant in Henderson Co., thru the Green River gorge, and trips thru the “lower” parts of the upper Green in the Green River cove area. The gorge is as remote as you get in our immediate area. The rough terrain

makes hiking into the gorge extremely dif-ficult except for a few trials. This keeps most of the gorge undis-turbed. It is also one of the steepest com-mercially run sections of whitewater in the southeast.

Green River Ad-ventures also offers hiking trips to Big Bradley falls and remote swimming holes on the Green River to get away from the crowds. The Big Bradley falls trip is high-lighted by a 200 ft. rappel down into the gorge!

Tim Bell, with the Saluda- based company, said the trips they offer are a great way to entertain

guests visiting for the summer. He also said they run on reservations only, so you can reach them by phone, 1-800-335-1530, or thru their website at: www.greenriv-eradventures.com.

Whether you take advantage of the services offered by Green River

Adventures or not, find your way to the Green River or one of its many tributaries here in our very own Polk County to escape the heat of summer. Remember though rivers can be dangerous, so be sure of where and what you are doing and have a safe day on or in the water.

Beating the heat: finding yourself on the Green River this summer

50th wedding Anniversaryby Robbie ter Kuile

“I Am a Soldier, Too — The Jessica Lynch Story” by Rick Bragg is a memoir that should be required reading for every elected official on the national level. Every American would also be inspired by reading the story or listening to it on audio book.

A m e m o i r is intended to cover a short time period in a person’s life. This memoir is also about the community in which Jessica Lynch grew up in the hills of West Virginia and how our coun-try responded to her story. It is about the first battle of the Iraqi war and how Lynch, who was a member of the 507 Maintenance Company in the U.S. Army, found herself in the middle of a fierce ground fight.

Most Americans may remem-

ber hearing the news stories of how Lynch was captured by the Iraqis and then rescued from the Saddam Hussein General Hos-pital by the American Special Forces. Even though we know the outcome of the story, the author has written this story so well that you won’t be able to stop reading or listening to the

book until you hear every last detail.

You can find the audio ver-sion at the Lanier Library. The Lanier Library is located at 72 Chestnut Street, Tryon. Call 828-859-9535 or visit www.lanierlib.org for more informa-tion about becoming a member of the Lanier Library. The library is open on Tuesday and Thurs-day from 9:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m., on Wednesday from 4 - 7 p.m., Saturday from 9:30 a.m. - 1 p.m., and from 1 - 4 p.m. on Sunday.
