Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:

by John Clayton

Bobby Arledge, a long-time of-ficer in the Columbus Fire Depart-ment and its only paid firefighter, was elected fire chief Monday night.

Arledge, now the deputy chief, will replace the retiring Geoff Ten-nant as chief Jan. 1. He will spend the next six months training to take over the position.

“Everybody sort of said (I

would be elected),” said Arledge. “So, I guess I felt good about it.”

Tennant has served as the department’s fire chief for the past 28 years. He will serve the remainder of this year as chief and said he plans to move into an unspecified role within the department after his retirement begins (see article above).

Arledge joined the de-partment in 1994 as a volunteer and was hired as its lone professional fire-fighter five years ago. He has served as a lieutenant, captain, assistant chief and in his current position as deputy chief.

He said becoming chief of the

A radio is clipped to Geoff Tennant’s belt where it sits per-manently on his left hip, blaring occasionally a succession of long beeps and brief chatter – the tones of trouble. Somewhere.

But it is peaceful at the Co-lumbus Fire Department where Tennant has served as a firefight-er for 35 years and as fire chief since 1982. No alarms sound and nothing at all hints at Tennant’s impending departure.

After nearly 30 years of service as chief, Tennant is set to retire – or at least his version of it – at the end of 2010, giving way to Bobby Arledge, who was selected as new chief Monday night (see front page story).

“As for going home and sit-ting and sitting on my front porch in a rocking chair – no, that’s not me,” said Tennant, 71, a retired educator of 30 years who is also the chair-man of the Polk County Board of Education. “I

guess, when I go to the golf course after Jan. 1, I won’t be taking a pager on the course with me. I’ll just go to play golf.”

department has been something he has striven for over the course of his career.

“You always set a high goal, so I guess you could say that it’s something I’ve wanted to do,” said Arledge.

Tennant said the voters “abso-lutely” made the right decision in choosing his successor.

As for the future, Arledge said he does not envision any imme-diate changes after he officially takes the reins.

“I really don’t plan on do-ing anything different,” he said.

“Chief (Tennant) has been doing this for years and years and we have a good program going, so I want to keep that flowing right along.”

Arledge said the department does have needs to address, such as a new substation on property the department already owns on Peniel Road as well as a possible expansion to the department’s main station in Columbus.

“Hopefully, we can get a grant or something for that substation,” Arledge said. “The people down on that end of the district are pushing the five-mile coverage area, so we’re trying to get the substation down that way to make sure everybody’s covered.”

Hamburger to be auctioned for Saluda School

Ward’s Grill, a landmark in downtown Saluda that closed in February, will reopen tomorrow, say new owners Clark Thompson and Judy Ward. Breakfast will be served at 6:30 a.m.

At 10:30 a.m. the rights to the first hamburger cooked in Ward’s Grill will be auctioned off. Thompson will cook the burger, and Ward will serve it to the top bidder.

All proceeds from the auction will be matched, up to $500, by

the Grill and donated to the Sa-luda School playground project in memory of the Ward family, Roy, Lola, Jack, and Charlie.

In February the fate of the 60-year old Thompson’s Store and Ward’s Grill was uncertain. After buying these businesses from the family-owned propri-etor, Charlie Ward, and operating the businesses for three years in a down economy, the current owners were calling it quits and closing the doors. After opening almost every day except Sunday for more than six decades, the “heart” of Saluda was boarded up and went dark.

news briefs

Shuler votes for financial reform billU.S. Rep. Heath Shuler voted for the financial reform bill that passed the House Wednesday night. The bill will be taken up by the Senate after Congress returns from recess July 12. Shuler said financial reform was needed after the 2008 financial crisis. Shuler’s opponent in the November election, Republican Jeff Miller, also believes financial re-form is needed but said he would not have supported the reconciled bill that eventually passed the House. Miller said it expands the power of the government too much. Miller was concerned about the increase in Federal Deposit Insur-ance Corporation fees to large banks. He said banks such as First Citizens, a midsize bank, will still be impacted by the higher fees even though it had nothing to do with the financial crisis.

Canning workshops at extension centerThe Polk County Extension Office is offering two workshops on canning and preserving. “Canning Made Easy” will be held at the Polk County Extension Center on July 13 at 2 and 6 p.m. Both classes cover the same materials. The second workshop, “Jam, Jellies, and Pickles,” will be on July 15, also at the extension center. Both workshops will be informative two-hour classes. Call 828-894-8218 to reserve your space for these workshops.

Lake Lure park plansThe Town of Lake Lure plans to purchase 200 acres north of the lake and turn it into a public park. The town will use a $450,000 grant from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund to purchase part of the 1,527-acre Weed Patch Moun-tain tract from the Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy at half its appraised value. The 200-acre portion is accessible from Buffalo Creek Road just north of the Rumbling Bald Resort. The town plans to leave the majority of the tract in its natural state, but will develop trailhead parking and a picnicking area as well as public trails that will be among the first links in a trail system that might one-day circumnavi-gate Lake Lure. The proposed 30-mile Summits Trail would connect the new parkland with other recreational resources in the area including Chimney Rock State Park.

Electric vehicle plant coming to DuncanCT&T Southeast, a joint venture between South Korea-based CT&T and the 2AM Group, plans to manufacture elec-tric vehicles in Duncan, S.C. it was announced last week. The company plans to invest $21 million and create up to 370 jobs over the next five years in a 100,000-square-foot regional assembly and sales plant situated on the com-munity college’s Tyger River Campus on Highway 290. The vehicles will be able to travel up to 50 or 100 miles on a single charge. CT&T Southeast hopes to begin assembly in September using imported parts at first. Its goal is to move to 100 percent American-made parts over 18 months. The company looks toward expanding, with plans to produce standard-speed vehicles, automobiles that can go more than 100 miles on a single charge, and lightweight buses that can carry up to 25 passengers. The company plans to start hiring in September.

Thanks to the efforts of Thomp-son, a Saluda native, and Ward, who is the widow of Charlie Ward, the grill will open again tomorrow. They formed a partnership to purchase and operate the businesses and the 6,000 square feet of buildings. Renova-tions have started to improve the grill and store.

Renovation work on the Thomp-son’s Store side will take more time to complete as will the expanded cooking facilities for the grill. The goal is to offer totally new and unique tastes in dining.

However, Thompson and Ward say the original grill and its menu

will remain basically the same. The biggest change patrons will notice is the expanded seating area to ac-commodate more customers. And, of course, Charlie Ward’s homemade sausage will again take center stage. A website is planned from which to offer overnight delivery of Charlie’s sausage to out-of-town customers.

“As our work begins, my larger dream is to encourage and assist others in Saluda in the creation of a master plan which will assure the preservation of our community for future generations. Now I am being provided an opportunity to give back to the place of my birth and upbring-ing,” said Clark Thompson.

Thompson’s Store and Ward’s Grill was founded by Roy and Lola Ward in 1939.


“There are some things I’d like to do, I just don’t know what they are yet."

Tennant has about six months to figure those things out, but he said even after that he will still be involved in some capacity with the department.

While he has been at the helm, the Columbus Fire Department has grown with the community and has built and occupied a new firehouse.

Tennant joined the department in the mid-1970s. Then, the de-partment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of home-crafted fire trucks. Today, the department has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several as-sociate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“At some point in life, you have to look for ways to give back to the community in which you live,” he said. “At the same time, that’s the point of the department – giving back to people in need. Every once in a while, you have the ability to understand that the people who work here are able to make a difference in the lives of the people they serve.”

But Tennant was never supposed to be here as an educator or as a fire chief. As a youngster, Tennant’s aptitude was tested at the behest of his mother to determine his best professional route. The tests said that he was best suited for the busi-ness world.

Tennant disagreed vehemently, choosing instead to teach and then

to be on the front lines when the community needed him instead of chasing profit margins.

“I wanted to be in an occupation where I could work with people…. It’s always been important to me to give back to the community that I’ve lived in,” he said. “That’s one of the reasons I became an educator and why I’m still involved in educa-tion. It’s a way to stay connected to the totality of Polk County and to help it improve as a whole. I believe we’re here to enrich one another’s lives. It’s easy to lose track of your-self and never find out how other people enrich your life, and I guess that’s why I’ve done what I’ve done. The good times have outweighed the bad, and I’ve enjoyed it. It may sound like altruistic pap but it’s just part of who I am.”

In Tennant’s eyes, handling the emergency calls and putting out fires is only part of the job of his department.

“We see people on the worst days of their lives and if you can provide some bit of comfort through that ser-vice, then you’re doing your job.”

Tennant easily recalls some of his most harrowing and proudest days as chief – when his small department stood up to its biggest challenges: a natural gas leak at Silver Creek Road that caused a large evacuation and put his fire-fighters in considerable danger and a chemical spill in December of 1998 that left Tennant at odds with

“Every once in a while, you have the ability to understand that the people who work here are able to make a difference in the lives of the people they serve.”

-- Geoff Tennant

state bureaucrats.The cleanup and safety operation

surrounding a chemical spill after a tanker overturned on I-26 lasted more than three days.

“I was under a great deal of pres-sure from the state to hurry things along, but I refused to allow that,” Tennant said. “It’s something that had to be done the right way.”

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis, a former county fire marshal and associate member of the Columbus Fire Department, said that’s the way Tennant has always worked.

“He has that ungodly stretch of I-26 to deal with,” said Davis. “Unfortunately, Geoff is right in the middle of it. He hears it from the Highway Patrol. I think then there was pres-s u r e c o m i n g from the secre-tary of state to reopen the road, but Geoff said, ‘when we get the cleanup done and when it’s safe, we’ll open it.’ … With Geoff there are no compro-mises.”

Davis cal ls Tennant’s pending departure from the chief’s position “surreal.”

“It’s bittersweet for me and I think it’s kind of surreal for a lot of people,” Davis said. “Geoff has been the one constant for fire service in this county for three decades.”

“They still do department elec-tions annually in Columbus and for 28 years now, he’s never had any-body run against him,” Davis said. “That says a lot about the man and the respect he has from his people, especially in a position that’s volun-teer. In positions like that, there’s always volatility, always change-over, always someone who thinks they can do it differently or do it better…. But Geoff Tennant has never had to succumb to that.”

Kim Pack, a former high school student and golfer who was taught and coached by Tennant, was also among the first female firefighters at Columbus, joining the depart-

ment after her application had first been turned down by an all-male Tryon department.

“He was more of a father figure than a chief, really,” said Pack, now a Polk County Sheriff’s Deputy. “He fathered all of us in some ways.

“In the fire service, Chief has always treated me as an equal – and in a county that didn’t have a lot of female firefighters in it back in the early 2000s, I think that says a lot. He has always gone out of his way to make sure everyone was treated the same, whether in training or on a fire scene.”

Tennant admitted that he can sometimes come off a little cur-mudgeonly – and he slyly relishes that role – but he also admitted fatherly concern about the peo-ple who refer to him simply as

“Chief.”“I don’t tell

the members of the department very often, but every time we go out into the field, I’m wor-ried about them. I tell them our first mission is to make sure we all go home….

We’re all adults here, except for the junior (members), but they’re all my responsibility and that’s the way I see it.”

But Pack, a die-hard Clemson fan, also enjoys good-natured ribbing with Tennant, a North Carolina graduate, occasionally decorating his vehicle with orange tiger paws and the like.

“I can’t think of a better person to have had for an educator, a coach, a fire chief and, more im-portantly, a true friend,” she said. “If I could just convince him to pull for Clemson over UNC….”

Tennant, who was named Fire Chief of the Year by the West-ern North Carolina Firefighters’ Association in 2007, will begin training his successor, a training that will last until Tennant offi-cially leaves the office at the end of the year.

“I’ve never regarded this as a

job,” Tennant said. “It’s always been kind of a calling.

“I hope I’ve helped in some shape or fashion to shape what the department does in the future.… It’s been an interesting run with this department. It’ll be interesting to see how it goes.”

By John Clayton

Plans for Tryon’s 125th birth-day celebration got under way last Thursday.

The celebration is scheduled for Labor Day Weekend, so plan-ners have just eight weeks to put together a parade, concerts and other attractions.

Organizer Wanda May said she understands they have a tight schedule, but she is counting on involvement from local organiza-tions and businesses to make the event a success.

“The word is just now beginning to circulate,” said May. “Tryon always pulls together and is able to pull it off.”

There is no charge for busi-nesses and organizations to be involved in the parade or for their involvement in other displays and projects for the weekend.

“What we are trying to do is keep it simple and not labor inten-sive so businesses and organiza-

Plans under way for Tryon’s 125th birthday party

tions can take the ball and run with it and do what they want to do,” May said.

May said she wants to highlight Tryon’s 125-year history through displays and tributes to former residents such as iconic jazz per-formance artist Nina Simone and a poetry workshop conducted by Poet Laureate of North Carolina and current resident Cathy Bow-ers Smith.

A parade is scheduled to begin in the late morning on Sept. 4. It will be followed by live music on the streets of Tryon.

Though still in the planning stages, May said she is in talks with carriage companies about conduct-ing carriage tours and with regional car clubs about bringing their clas-sics to town for a car show.

“There’s a lot of history to highlight in Tryon, so we’re very excited,” said May. “I think we can turn this into a fun weekend for people to enjoy.”

Runners take off just after the start of the inaugural Firecracker 5k run Saturday morning in Columbus. Eighty-four runners participated in the event. Asheville’s Stuart Moran and Katie Gibson were the overall winners. (staff photo)

While stuart Moran staged his own one-man British invasion of saturday morning’s Firecracker 5k in Columbus, Katie gibson won both the race and, perhaps more importantly, a bet.

gibson won the women’s division of the 5k with a time of 18 minutes, 49 seconds, while Moran, a native of england who now lives and works in asheville, cruised to victory in the men’s division in 15:28.

“I had a bet with a teammate that if I won, he’d have to wear a dress at Bele Chere,” said gibson, an asheville emergency veterinarian and member of Joe’s running Club.

Moran and gibson also pock-eted $100 each for their victo-ries.

Gibson finished more than two minutes ahead of spartanburg’s susan rogers (21:13) and was three minutes faster than third-

place Mandy Wolfe (21:31).“It was a very nice course,”

said gibson of the inaugural race. “I really liked the first mile and felt good most of the way.”

Gibson sprinted to the finish alongside Landrum doctor todd Walter, who had kept pace with her for the final section of the course.

“He really helped me out the last half-mile,” gibson said of Walter, who finished first in his 40-44 age division.

While gibson had competi-tion to the finish line, Moran spent most of the race alone out front.

“(the 15:28) was kind of on the slow end of what I normally run,” said Moran. “this course got kind of tough with some hills in the middle, and it’s easy to slack off a little bit when you’re out there by yourself.”

minutes ahead of the field when he crossed the finish line.

Jesse Hagberg finished sec-ond overall with a time of 17:54. phillip rowan took third in 18:06.

In the Master’s division, ted Hubbard was the male winner in 18:37, and Laura Walker was the women’s winner in 23:42.

Moran said he enjoys running in first-time events and watching them grow.

“I like running new races,” he said. “I know (organizer

ross Fox) wants to build this race up and I think it can be a good one.”

Fox, who is a former organizer of the Coon Dog 5k in saluda, said he was happy with the way the inaugural Firecracker 5k turned out and with the 84 run-ners who competed in the first-time event.

“It’s a lot like the Coon Dog run – we had with about 85 run-ners signed up for the first one and that number went up to 469 runners in 2007,” Fox said. “It really took off, and I can see that happening here.”

DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not

so long ago, a local couple

happened upon a skinny

little Appaloosa mare in a

dirt lot. Her owner no longer

wanted to trail ride her; she

wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew

a few things about horses

and decided to take her

home with them and find

the little mare a new family.

Some extra food, good grass

and a few trail rides later this

couple put an ad up in the

local feed store.

At this very same time, a

sweet “horse crazy” young

girl had convinced her

parents to let her take some

riding lessons. She caught

the bug and now dreamed of

DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not

so long ago, a local couple

happened upon a skinny

little Appaloosa mare in a

dirt lot. Her owner no longer

wanted to trail ride her; she

wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew

a few things about horses

and decided to take her

home with them and find

the little mare a new family.

Some extra food, good grass

and a few trail rides later this

couple put an ad up in the

local feed store.

At this very same time, a

sweet “horse crazy” young

girl had convinced her

parents to let her take some

riding lessons. She caught

the bug and now dreamed of

having her own horse. After

some poking and prodding

her parents answered an ad

they found at the local feed

store: an Appaloosa mare –

for sale! The little girl, whose name

is Amanda, met the little

mare, who’s name is Nia,

and as most dreams happen

(when they come true) it was

destined they be together.

Saluda News &

Notationsby Bonnie Bardos

(ConTinueD on page 19)

If you want to be in Coon Dog Day parade, just show

“...Her child leaps among the flowers/the blue of the sky falls over me/like silk/the flowers burn/ and I want to live my life all over again/to begin again/to be utterly/wild.” ~excerpt from “The Meeting” ~Mary Oliver

Welcome to summertime July Saluda notes and notations. The streets of Saluda are busy, fami-lies get together for reunions and visit ing, and streams, water-falls, and lakes are cool respites in the heat.

Dog Notes: Don’t miss Saluda’s famous 47th Annual Coon Dog Day on Saturday, July 10: it’s a day for dogs and their humans: although if it’s hot as usual, I highly recommend leaving pooches at home to loll in air-conditioned comfort (my Pooh Bear expects this on a regular basis along with a steady supply of treats!).

However, the coon dogs be-ing judged get shade, water, and lots of admiration. There will be plenty of food, live music, a parade at 11 a.m., crafts, street dances, and more.

Note: If you want to be in the Coon Dog Day parade, just show up; there are no entry ap-plications or fees, but call Saluda City Hall in advance at 749-2581 to get instructions on where to line up! Live music begins in the morning around 9 and will continue all day until the end of the street dance at 10:00 PM. Come enjoy.

If you have kids or grand kids needing something to do, remember the Saluda Commu-nity Library’s “Make A Splash” summer reading program that runs from June 16-July 28.

For more information about this, or other programs at the Sa-luda library, call 828-749-2117.

To my delight, I ran into Happy Rogers Ehlers as she and Ambrose were back in the chil-

dren’s section reading together. What a nice surprise. You know, it’s so important for young ones to be read to—it makes a differ-ence in the years ahead.

Reminder Note: Looking for ripe red juicy tomatoes? Check out the Saluda tailgate market on Fridays at the city parking

lot off Main Street (fol-low the signs) from 4:30 to 6:30 with local produce, flow-ers, homemade soup, breads, and all manner

of goodies. Mark Your Calendars: The

fun and fabulous second annual Art Trek Tryon open studio event happens the weekend of July 24-25th.

On Friday July 23 from 5-8 p.m. a preview party kicks off the weekend at Upstairs Artspace, 49 South Trade Street, Tryon, NC beside the Tryon Theater. All 39 artists on the studio tour will have work displayed in the gallery for six weeks.

All weekend, studios are open to the public. Saluda has twelve participating artists—Mark Gardner, Stoney Lamar, Kelly McCullough, Bill Ryan, John Waddill, Eva Kovacs, Holly Wilkes, Bill and Anne Jameson, Beverly Pickard, Dale McEntire and Bonnie Bardos.

Please support local art, art-ists, and the sponsoring busi-nesses — you’ll find artists not only here, but in Columbus, Tryon, Mill Spring, Green Creek, and Landrum.

Thoughts: Our resident native wildlife is important, whether we appreciate various creatures or not. It came to my attention that new residents to the Saluda area had both been clear-cutting a beautiful tree-filled

hillside (to ‘improve’ the view) and came upon a nest of young skunks, which they wanted to eradicate without forethought. Only after the fact, did I find out about it, and was so saddened that someone would do such a heartless thing—I, and many others around, would be more than happy to talk to and educate folks about wildlife/nature and find some better alternatives over killing wildlife needlessly, or clear-cutting hillsides without thought.

We need our creatures and wood lands. All part of the circle, flora and fauna serve a purpose here. In respecting them, we learn much, and honor the earth we share. A skunk’s scent is self-protection—they are intel-ligent, beautiful creatures with magnificent black and white plumed tails.

Skunks are mild-tempered, have poor eyesight, are mostly nocturnal, and defend them-selves by spraying scent only when cornered or attacked. They benefit farmers, gardeners, and landowners because they feed on large numbers of agricultural and garden pests.

While young skunks are cute and like kittens, they are wild animals and it’s illegal to keep them as pets in most states.

John and Alice Waddill had a bear visitor that shimmied 26 feet up a tree to their upper deck... he had his eye on the birdseed snacks, but Alice gave him the ‘teacher’s eye’ and he knew what side his bread was buttered on and left. Retired teachers can still strike fear into folks with that ‘look’... and it worked like a charm.

Happy Birthday to Max Thomas — his birthday was in June, so I hope he’ll forgive my oversight last column! Max is now a whole year old, and I wish that young man many more birthdays ahead.

July Birthday hugs go out to Doris Marion, Debi Thom-as, Linda Poole, Rheta Foster, Nancy Weinhagen and Tosh

Miller. Don’t forget to send those birthdays in!

Congratulations are in order for Dick Wright and his new bride... they met during mutual hip-replacement recovery and found love. Doesn’t that make your heart smile?

Thank you all for your re-marks and feedback about this column: it just makes my day knowing you are reading. I want you to feel like you’re sitting out in the front porch swing drinking tea and enjoying birds and flow-ers with me.

Conversations from Birdlandby DonWeathington

In the 1970s, I worked in the ghetto in Ybor City, Tampa, Flori-da. The setting was a “store front” counseling center that focused on drug abuse prevention and treat-ment. In the first phase of my work there, the center mainly saw teen-agers and young adults who were experimenting with marijuana and/or with hallucinogens. Later, however, as the scope of the proj-ect expanded I became the director of the methadone maintenance program. This was a shift in cli-entele from recreational drug us-ers to hard core addicts. Addic-tion doesn’t oc-cur in the way TV sometimes claims it hap-pens. It’s not a “get hooked if you even try it” situation. That analysis is used in an attempt to discourage all experimentation. For some few people that first taste will presage an addiction, but that person was probably destined by his/her DNA to become addicted to something. Facts support a gradual descent into addiction either from recreational or medi-cal use.

The journey from first use to full blown addiction is usually filled with ups and downs - the ups positively reinforcing con-tinued use in the most coercive and binding manner (intermittent reinforcement). I heard stories from clients about bursts of cre-ativity, feelings of well-being, and clarity of thinking or freedom from pain. Accompanying those stories, however, were stories of anxiety, confusion, depression and feeling out of control. These clients followed a pattern - initial low dose usage to more frequent, higher quantity use to constant use, sometimes in quantities that boggle the mind.

Entering treatment to attempt to kick the habit was almost always precipitated by some event - often an arrest, but also things like trau-matic accidents, marital problems, or threats to employment. Going

through treatment and becoming free of the addiction is very dif-ficult. There is both physical and emotional pain. Recidivism is very high. Individuals undergo-ing this change display frayed emotions - anger, frustration, fear and hostility. The physical manifestations include cramping, nausea, sleeplessness, headaches, and bowel dysfunction. The only answer is to “go through it”; you can’t dodge this bullet. On the other side of successful treatment, new habits must be formed to fill

the time and en-ergy voids left from previous, now discarded, lifestyle.

In his state of the union ad-dress in January

of 2006, then president George W. Bush made the point that “America is addicted to oil.” The point is almost obvious but I admit that viewed in the context of my clinical background, the statement resonated in me and has continued to linger at the fringes of my consciousness. Certainly the gradual increase in consump-tion is readily visible. Long lines and mass grumbling resulting from periodic “shortages” dating from the 1970s demonstrate the anxiety that arises when supplies are threatened. The long run of America’s feelings of well being have become so common place that it seems normal for that to be the case. Americans’ lifestyles typically require mobility.

Currently, the Gulf of Mexico is awash in a killer flood of oil gushing from a burst deep well. A way of life is threatened. A precious ecosystem is on the brink of desecration. The wisdom of continued drilling for a supply of cheap energy is called into ques-tion. Truly, this is a catastrophic event - with no visible end in sight.

Will America take the hint and enter treatment? If so, what might we expect to result from such an undertaking?

I believe that treatment of the nation to break its dependence on fossil fuels will be no different from the individual’s experience of detoxifying from a drug. The hard part will be committing to making the change. If drilling in the gulf is curtailed, shortages will occur and prices at the pump will rise. There will be anxiety and outrage. Accusations will be hurled (probably at whichever political organization is in power). Adjustments to lifestyle will be mandatory. Public transportation will become more fashionable and in demand. The ability to go and do whatever we want will be curtailed. The percentage of our income devoted to transportation will grow. We will suffer physical, emotional and economic distress. But we can survive this.

After making the adjustments to the changes foisted upon us we will seek answers to new lifestyle arrangements. Hopefully we will finally find a way to create a na-tional energy policy that addresses the true needs of the entire nation, rather than simply serving the wishes of the oil conglomerate and its shareholders.

We should see a retooling of national industries toward trans-portation driven by electricity. We should see freight being moved over long distances more by rail than by truck (at least one of the country’s billionaires, Warren Buffet has already begun to invest heavily in rail transportation). Perhaps fuel cells or hydrides will provide an answer.

Whatever the new answers are, it will take time to recover our bal-ance and status. I don’t doubt the ability of Americans to solve these problems. We must first admit that there really are problems, and then set about doing the work required to get back on track. Overcoming this addiction will require R & D money and a lot of patience. Will the rup-ture in the Gulf wake us up?

Don Weathington is a retired psychotherapist and business own-er who lives in Gillette Woods at a place called Birdland.

When it's only 80 degrees outside, a car can heat up to over 120 degrees in just minutes. In a temperature that

high, a dog could easily die. That's why the American Kennel Club recommends that dog owners NEVER leave their dog alone in a car during the warm weather.

Marc Yaxley Trio, Red Hot Sugar Babies perform July 9Summer Tracks continues July 9 in Roger’s Park in Tryon

7 p.m. and is free, though a voluntary donation at the gate is encouraged. Sponsorships provided by local businesses also make these shows possible. Again, Giardini’s wood fired pizzas, homemade ice cream, water and soft drinks will be for sale.

The Summer Tracks series offers a mix of musical styles. Concerts run from 7 to 10 p.m. Scheduled to perform are:

July 9 - Red Hot Sugar Ba-bies (jazz-swing of 20s & 30s), Mark Yaxley Trio (jazz);

July 23 - Gigi Dover & The Big Love (Americana), Bob Sinclair (new standards);

August 6 - The Swayback Sisters (Americana, folk), The Space Heaters (swing-jazz);

August 20 - Sol Driven Train (opening set is their chil-dren’s show, followed by their mix of world beat and funk);

September 3 - The Fire-cracker Jazz Band (music from 1890-1940).

Summer Tracks is produced by the Town of Tryon in affili-ation with Peter Eisenbrown of Blockparty Productions. The popular and well attended series attracts people from all over the region. Last year, the concerts drew an estimated 2,000 people to downtown Tryon.

The 11th season of Summer Tracks – Tryon’s summer con-cert series – continues on July 9 with the Marc Yaxley Trio and the Red Hot Sugar Babies in Rogers Park.

The evening begins with jazz-blues guitar master Marc Yaxley who has opened for jazz great Ramsey Lewis, trumpeter Maynard Ferguson and blues rocker Warren Haynes. He will be joined by Cameron Austin on bass and Bill Berg on drums. Bill Berg is well known as the drummer from the 1980s-90s contemporary jazz band Flim & the BB’s.

The Red Hot Sugar Babies are an energetic jazz band per-forming music of the roaring 1920s and 30s. They feature popular music made famous by vocalists like Bessie Smith and Ethel Waters, and jazz legends such as Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller and Louis Armstrong. Wendi Loomis is featured on vocals and clarinet along with Joanne Domka (trumpet), Andrew Fletcher (piano), Lois Jolly (trumpet), Lin Llewellyn (banjo/guitar) and Lora Pend-leton (bass).

As with all Summer Tracks concerts, the show starts at

Several gymnasts from Foot-hills Gymnastics Academy in Tryon competed on June 19 at the 2010 State Games of North Caro-lina. The competition is for any Level 1-3 gymnast in the state and was held in Mooresville, N.C.

The Powerade State Games is a multi-sport, Olympic-style com-petition promoting physical fitness, and good sportsmanship to North Carolinians of all ages. The compe-tition is designed to facilitate grass roots development of Olympic sports in our state while also provid-ing personal development through physical fitness and sport.

Patterned after the Olympic games, the State Games recog-nizes winners with gold, silver, and bronze medals. Win or lose, participants learn valuable les-sons on how to set and reach goals, how to work as a team, and how to stay physically fit.

More than 14,000 athletes and 650+ teams competed in this 25-sport festival, which is the largest in N.C. and one of the larg-est state games in the nation.

Each gymnast competes in her level and is divided up by age brackets within that level. Gym-nasts are judged on their USGA routines on vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor. Their combined scores rank them in the All-Around Competition.

Making her competition de-but, Ella Waldman (level 1, age four to five bracket) won five gold medals. Waldman won four

apparatus golds and won her fifth gold in the All-Around. Waldman received a first place ranking in her age category with the highest all-around score. Waldman is the daughter of Ethan and Renae Waldman of Tryon.

Three Foothills gymnasts competed in the Level 1 (age six to eight bracket). Scout Harmon, daughter of Jeff and Kristin Har-mon of Tryon, earned two gold medals and two silver medals, also earning silver in the All-Around ranking with the third highest score.

Lauren Wilson, daughter of Brian and Julie Wilson of Mill Spring, won three apparatus sil-ver medals and one bronze. Wil-son also earned an All-Around silver ranking fourth. Breanna Cochran, daughter of Beth and Johnny Cochran of Rutherford-ton, earned four bronze medals. Cochran won a silver medal plac-ing fifth in this age division.

Four Foothills gymnasts com-peted in the Level 2, seven year old division. Ragan Ashmore, daughter of Warren and Jackie Ashmore of Landrum, won one gold and three silver medals plus won a gold in the All-Around ty-ing for second.

Rollins Carter, daughter of Robert and Margot Carter of Tryon, won two gold medals, two silver medals, and also won a gold medal in the All-Around tying for the second place ranking. Julia Griffin, daughter of Kenny and

Tangela Griffin of Tryon, won three silver medals and one gold medal. In the All-Around, Griffin won a silver medal and finished with a third place ranking.

Making her competition debut, Elsie-Morrah Padgett, daughter of Edwin and Ashley Padgett of Tryon, won one gold, one silver, and two bronze medals. Padgett earned a bronze in the All-Around and ranked eighth overall.

Sarah Nonamaker, daughter of Michael and Melissa Nona-maker of Columbus, represented Foothills in the Level 2, age nine and up division. Nonamaker won one gold medal, two silver, and one bronze also earning a gold in the All-Around with a third place ranking.

Competing in the Level 3, age 10+ division representing Foothills Gymnastics were two gymnasts. Kate Padgett, daughter of Edwin and Ashley Padgett of Tryon, won two gold, two silver, earning a gold medal in the All-Around ranking fourth. Jenna McInerney, daughter of Jimmy and Tara McInerney of Saluda made her competition de-but, winning one gold, two silver, and one bronze. McInerney won a silver medal in the All-Around ranking fifth with her total score.

Foothills Gymnastics Academy is located at 66 Academy St. in Tryon. Jana Williamson is the owner and coach. Registration for fall classes is taking place now. For more informa-tion, call 828-859-3131.

TLT seeks new homeThe Tryon Little Theater (TLT) has produced more

theater fun over the years than most towns ever see. It has been a pleasure over the years to witness friends and neighbors, many amateurs, some professionals, bring shows to life, most often on the Tryon Fine arts Center stage. So many memories were made there.

at one time, Tryon Little Theater’s home was the Tryon Fine Arts Center, where it housed its offices and performed all its shows. But both organizations had needs which diverged about ten years ago. The Tryon Fine arts Center needed to use its theater more often, run its own shows to pay for maintenance and renovation of the facility. Its had to assign its real costs for usage of the stage.

Considering that Tryon Little Theater needed the stage for at least a week in advance of every show, just to put up the set and give actors some time to rehearse on the stage where they would perform, it was expensive. expense considerations also limited the kinds of shows TLT could produce, mostly to old Broadway hits which would draw a sure crowd. TLT wanted to branch out, with less risk.

Thus, after 35 years together, though it still stages shows at TFaC, TLT began a migration away from TFaC in 1999, first to the old furniture store on Hwy. 176 and then in 2005 to the old Napa auto parts store.

Now TLT is looking for a permanent “home.” The theater group board announced the formation of an ad hoc committee to begin looking for a site to build a “black box” theater, capable of housing set construction, costume stor-age, and rent-free performance space for smaller shows.

TFaC is also at a crossroads. a consultant is being hired to help guide the arts center’s future plans, and to survey all the arts groups in the area. perhaps, these two planning efforts can lead to a reunifcation of sorts. Certainly it is hard enough to fund the arts. United efforts, as in the past, may help everyone succeed. — JB

Correcting the history of TFACTo the editor:

Through the years, I’ve noted various evolutions and permuta-tions of the histories of local institutions without becoming concerned as long as there were still a number of people around who knew the facts first-hand. Well, those numbers are dwindling!

Today I read the article in the Tryon Daily Bulletin about Tryon Little Theater’s search for a new home. I received the June 6 letter from TLT, from which the article was drawn, and made note of errors. Since space is limited, I will address only the errors that appeared in the article.

There was no such group as “players Fortnightly.” Drama Fortnightly was a club that read plays every two weeks (eventu-ally reading in costume in front of small audiences) which existed from about 1920 to 1938.

Tryon Little Theater was or-ganized in 1948 as Tryon Little Theater.

“Black Box” theater is ex-perimental theater. TLT probably intends to build a small theater perhaps in the style of a typical black box theater which might inspire an occasional “experi-ment.”

TLT did not sell “The Barn” in 1964 and there was no such organization as “Tryon Music associates.” On September 3, 1964, representatives from Tryon Little Theater, Tryon Concert

association (nee Mutual Concert association), Tryon Crafts, the Tryon Chamber of Commerce, and three people at large met at the home of TLT president Fan-ning Hearon.

James Black agreed to chair the “Tryon Fine arts Center” fund drive whose mission was to match Violet parish-Watson’s oft-misun-derstood bequest and

then raise enough to build the facility she had envisioned.

a TFaC project steering com-mittee was named and money began to roll in, largely through the efforts of John Landrum and James Black who approached in-dividuals willing to give $10,000 each and become founders of TFaC.

about six months later (March 4, 1965), the directors of Tryon Little Theater voted to sell “The Barn” and contribute these funds and other cash and pledges to the TFaC project.

As Fanning Hearon wrote in TFAC’s first season’s program, “We had lost our ‘First Love,’ but found another - not one we could touch and feel, but [one] with more promise.”

I feel overwhelmed knowing that erroneous sources (that don’t even match each other) have served as sources themselves over the years.

I doubt that addressing those errors now will make much dif-ference, but I feel I owe it to those who were there working together and realizing many shared vi-sions for this community.

Winkler, Morgan assume new leadership roles at TBO

Diana Winkler, a long time volunteer leader in public ser-vice, was elected president of the Thermal Belt Outreach board of directors at the group’s June meeting. She had been serving as secretary-treasurer for the past year and succeeds attorney Lora Baker of Columbus as president. Business executive Bob Morgan of Tryon was elected treasurer.

Winkler has been a volunteer for Thermal Belt Outreach since moving to the area five years ago. During that time, she has worked with Outreach clients in financial crisis and taught budgeting class-es to low income renters in Polk County. She previously served on the board of directors of Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity and oversaw their two stores in Lan-drum. She owns Vera, a consign-ment shop in Landrum.

Before retiring to the region, she and her husband Bart lived in Charlotte where she was a mortgage officer with Wachovia. She taught real estate finance at Central Piedmont Community College for six years and con-ducted numerous home buying seminars for realtors and low income applicants. She was also a volunteer leader for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department.

Morgan has been a member

of the Outreach board for nearly a year and headed its audit com-mittee. A 17-year resident of Polk County, he also is a member of the Polk County Economic De-velopment Commission. He is president and CEO of ExpressIT, a mailing service with offices in Tryon and Mill Spring.

Before moving to Tryon, Morgan was CEO of CVTV, a technology company in Chicago where he also served as president of the Joseph Sears school board and was active in the Chicago Economic Club.

A nonprofit organization lo-cated in Columbus, Thermal Belt Outreach helps Polk County

citizens out of crisis situations and into self-sufficiency. It pro-vides basic needs such as food, utilities, fuel, transportation, prescriptions, affordable hous-ing, and access to health care to those in need. To promote self sufficiency, Outreach requires each person receiving assistance to pay a small portion of the bill for which they are seeking help. No funds are given directly to clients.

The 501(c)3 charity receives its funding through donations from individuals, organizations, businesses, churches and grant-ing agencies.


Army Pvt. Farina graduates from basic, advanced training

Army Pvt. Clint Farina has graduated from the Infantryman One Station Unit Training at Fort Benning, Columbus, Ga. The training consists of Basic Infantry Training and Advanced Individual Training.

During the nine weeks of basic combat training, the soldier received training in drill and ceremonies, weapons employment, map reading, tactics, military courtesy, military justice, physical fitness, first aid skills, and Army history, core values

and traditions. Additional training included development of basic com-bat skills and battlefield operations and tactics, and experienced use of various weapons and weapons defenses available to the infantry crewman.

The Advanced Individual Train-ing course is designed to train infan-try soldiers to perform reconnais-sance operations; employ, fire and recover anti-personnel and anti-tank mines; locate and neutralize land mines and operate target and sight

equipment; operate and maintain communications equipment and radio networks; construct field fir-ing aids for infantry weapons; and perform infantry combat exercises and dismounted battle drills, which includes survival procedures in a nuclear, biological or chemical contaminated area.

Farina is the son of Wayne Harris of Peniel Road, Tryon. The private is a 2009 graduate of Polk County High School in Columbus.
