Costs for new DSS building start off highLow bid for grading higher than expectedby Leah Justice

Polk County is already look-ing at higher than expected costs for constructing a new depart-ment of social services (DSS) building.

Bids for grading, the first

step in the project, came in at $164,890, not including an es-timated $80,000 for paving and concrete. The county budgeted $170,000 for both grading and paving, putting the project at possibly $75,000 over budget already.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners reviewed the

bids Monday and agreed to ap-prove the low bid, submitted by Thompson Contractors.

They also agreed to ask coun-ty engineer Dave Odom, the contractor and the architect to look at options to lower costs, such as moving the building and


Track, entrance at equestrian park donePark's earliest use expected in 2012by Jeff Byrd

The new, 96-acre Green Creek Equestrian Park will be a special venue for equestrian events, ac-cording to Tryon Riding & Hunt Club president Chuck Lingerfelt.

It will need to be, he said.“There are so many shows

now,” he said. “Aiken and South-ern Pines are renovating their facilities. There are two new Atlanta horse parks. People are picking and choosing.”

However, the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club does have an ace

up its sleeve. The club, which will own and

operate the new equestrian park, has attained five U.S. Eques-trian Federation (USEF) A-rated hunter-jumper show dates for the new facility.

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 tryon daily Bulletin / the World’s smallest daily neWspaper page 3

USEF has been the regulatory organization for U.S. equestrian sports since 1917.

USEF allocates the rights to operate rated shows within each region, so that competing shows cannot be held on the same dates within so many hundreds of miles of each other.

Tryon Riding & Hunt already owned two dates, and the club has secured three more from Classic Co. to showcase at the new venue.

Equestrians attend regional, three- to five-day A-rated shows like those hosted by Tryon Rid-ing & Hunt to win points towards higher level competitions, and show dates are attractive to all those “chasing points.”

USEF AA-rated shows are larger, and offer double the points. Lingerfelt said the Green Creek park will be able to handle those but the Tryon Riding & Hunt plans “to work our way

into that.” AAA-rated shows are interna-

tional in scope and hosted only by the largest national centers, such as Wellington in Palm Beach, Florida and Madison Square Garden in New York.

“The earliest we will be able to use those (A-rated) dates at the Green Creek Equestrian Park

is 2012,” Lingerfelt said. “We will decide this fall about 2012. Until the opening, our intent is to continue to run TR&HC events at FENCE (the Foothills Nature Equestrian Center in Tryon).”

The construction work at the new park is well underway. The new track in Green Creek for the Block House Steeplechase has

been graded and seeded, Linger-felt said. The track is 80-feet wide and 1.2 miles long.

The Block House Steeplechase will be held on the one-mile long track at FENCE again next April, as it has since the 1980s, when it moved from the original Block

July, August tax discountsThe Polk County Board of Commissioners reminded resi-dents this week that discounts on tax bills are available during July and August. Property tax bills paid by the end of July will have a 2 percent discount; those paid in Au-gust will have a 1 percent discount. The bills are due by December 31.

Dollar General opens in SaludaNational retailer Dollar General opened its newest store in North Carolina on Wednesday at 987 Ozone Drive in Saluda. The 9,014-square-foot store is bigger than most Dollar General stores. The new store employs seven people and features a layout designed to make shopping easier for customers. The majority of the store’s products are priced at $10 or less, with about 25 percent of the products priced at $1 or less.

N.C. schools get more flexibility in setting starting, ending dates for school year

The N.C. Senate voted 49-0 Thursday to tentatively approve a bill to give school administrators more flexibility to move the required starting and ending dates for the school year. A state law backed by the tourism industry requires schools open no earlier than Aug. 25 and close by June 10. The bill would let a school district open earlier in August if severe weather forced the closing of at least one school for all or part of eight days over a span of several years. Schools in the state’s mountains sought the change after snow clos-ings lengthened the school year last month.

N.C. education spending per studentNorth Carolina ranks among the lowest in the nation in terms of education spending per student, according to a new Cen-sus report. The state spent $7,996 per student during the 2007-08 school year, more than only six other states: Mis-sissippi ($7,901), Tennessee ($7,739), Oklahoma ($7,685), Arizona ($7,608), Idaho ($6,931) and Utah ($5,765). New York spent the most on each elementary, middle and high school student, at $17,173, while nationally, the per-pupil spending totaled $10,259, up 6.1 percent from the year before. Eighteen states spent above the national average while 32 spent below. Of the money North Carolina spends on its students, the bulk – 58.8 percent – comes from state revenue, while 32 percent comes from local taxes and 9.1 percent comes from the federal government.

Fewer fees for ESC debit card usersEmployment Security Commission customers using North Carolina’s unemployment insurance debit card to access their benefits will find that most of the fees formerly associated with use of the card have been basically eliminated. Customers will now have unlimited free withdrawals from Wells Fargo or Wachovia ATMs, and they can get cash back with point-of-sale purchases and many merchants. Balance inquiries at WellsFargo or Wachovia ATMs are now free, as are telephone inquiries and replacement cards.

House site. Lingerfelt said the club will review in September whether to move the race to Green Creek in 2012.

“That will give the grass on the new track two years to fill in,” he said.

There is no sprinkler system for the new grass, but Lingerfelt said William Arledge is running his 4,500-gallon watering truck over the track regularly to keep it green and growing.

The crossings over the creek are installed and 4,000 hollies have been planted to create a hedge row around the track.

“We have had no violations with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Re-sources,” Lingerfelt said. “They said they have not seen such a clean operation in years.”

In addition, the Hwy. 9 en-trance to the park is finished, with plantings installed, and the interior roadways are graded.

“We hope to schedule a hunter event at the new park this fall,” Lingerfelt said. “Lillie Brown and Noreen Cothran are in charge of that.”

Three-day event course de-signers have been reviewing the property to determine if there is room for an outside cross-country course. Three day events, which Lingerfelt said are a growing part of equestrian sports, involve dres-sage, cross-country and stadium jumping.

“The designers who visited believe there is room for a cross country course,” Lingerfelt said, although nothing has been de-cided.

Tryon Riding & Hunt Club is currently negotiating for a U.S. Department of Agriculture loan to pay for continued develop-ment of the property, Lingerfelt said.

If the club does take a USDA loan, Lingerfelt said the inten-tion is to use the money to build some barns, some show rings and infrastructure.

According to the Green Creek Equestrian Park website, eventu-

ally the park will have six barns with 98 stalls each, a 400-by-400 foot Grand Prix Field, a 200-by-300 foot Grand Hunter ring, in addition to an exercise area, three warm up areas, additional hunter and jumper areas, a show office, blacksmith and vet building, judges stands, and a food court and vending area.

The park will be a “green” fa-cility that will include rainwater catchment from the large barns to provide 38 percent of the facil-ity’s water needs.

To date, Lingerfelt said the costs for development have been paid with donations. Roger Smith and his wife, Jennifer, donated the 96 acres of land for the park in 2008.

Roger and Jennifer Smith were the founding partners of Wellington Equestrian Partners, which operates large horse shows including the Winter Equestrian Festival in Florida.

In filing for a zoning permit with Polk County in 2008, the Smiths said the facility in Green Creek would not be affiliated with Wellington Equestrian Part-ners.

finding ways to reduce asphalt for parking spaces.

Commissioners Tommy Melton and Warren Watson voted against approving the low bid. They said they wanted to throw out the bids and rebid the project as a whole, with the grading being included in the contract to construct the building.

Commissioners plan to re-view the issue again at their Aug. 2 meeting and then either award the grading contract or decide to rebid the project.

The low bid was well under the other five bids the county received, with the second low-est coming in at $239,175 and the highest coming in at $262,524.

Commissioner Warren Wat-son expressed concern over the project being over bid on the first work being done.

“So that means we’re al-ready $80,000 over,” Watson said. “That’s substantial. That throws a red flag up.”

County board chair Cindy Walker said it’s unfortunate that the first project came in over budget, but hopefully other work will come in under budget as construction some-times goes.

“I don’t know that we can logically say because this costs more the whole building will cost more,” said Walker.

Melton said Monday he thinks the county will have a better chance coming in on budget if they bid out the whole project in one piece.

Commissioners Walker, vice-chair Ray Gasperson and Renée McDermott voted to approve the low bid and come back in three weeks to see what Odom comes up with.

“I’m still set on doing some-thing that should have been done 20 years ago and get-ting our employees out of the Jervey-Palmer building,” said vice-chair Gasperson.

“It’s an embarrassment to this county.”

Watson agreed with Gasper-son, but asked several times, "What is the hurry?"

“I would caution this board that you better look out for some change orders because they’re coming,” said Watson. “I know we’re trying to fast track this project but why? The bottom line is if we do not plan this out well, we’re going to end up spending $2.5 million.”

Walker said the project is not being done in haste and com-missioners have talked exten-sively about the building.

Gasperson said the grading was done separately to take ad-vantage of prime grading time. He said the county should learn a lesson from problems with grading work at the adult day care center that has pushed that project back considerably.

Melton and Watson have said they think the building as planned is about 1,000 square feet too large. The architectural drawings were approved last month for an 11,950-square-foot building, which will have approximately seven open of-fices for future growth.

Walker, Gasperson and Mc-Dermott say they are planning for future growth. They said they don’t want the county to build the building and have it immediately be too small. They mentioned the Womack building, which was already too small for needed county offices as soon as it was completed.

The county recently ap-proved a project budget ordi-nance for $2 million for the new DSS building that is to be con-structed on county owned prop-erty at the recreation complex in Mill Spring. Commissioners have said they do not want to spend $2 million on the project and are hoping with the slow economy that the project will come in under projections.

The county expects to fi-nance much of the project, with expectations of borrowing about $1.6 million.

by John ClaytonOrganizers of the 47th Annual

Coon Dog Day in Saluda estimate attendance to have grown from 2009 and said the annual parade was bigger than in recent years.

This year’s festival included 45 vendors, 13 food vendors and five amusement vendors.

“So many people came up to me and told me that we had something for everyone -- and that’s what we wanted,” said Coon Dog Day Commissioner Leon Morgan.

“One lady was here for the first time and she said, ‘If this isn’t America, I don’t know what is.’ I liked that.”

The winners of the Coon Dog Day Parade Float contest were:

Best Commercial Float – “Coonissippi Queen” by Blue Ridge Paving & Grading. Honor-able Mention – Historic Thomp-son/Ward Store.

Best Civic Float – Saluda Clogging Camp. Honorable Mention – Army Re-enactment Group.

Most Original – “Coon to the Moon” by Coon Dog Elvis. Hon-orable Mention – “Coon Jail” by the United Kennel Club.

This year’s Coon Dog Day Royal Court included:

Queen – Toshanna Miller; King – Connor Auman; Princess – Paige Boone; Prince – Tristan Auman; Baby Princess – Haylea Bradley; Baby Prince – Nathaniel Harms.

Polk seizes almost $150k in drugs, cash over past yearCooperation increased between narcotics, other departmentsby Leah Justice

Over the last year, the Polk County Narcotics division has seized more than $147,000 of illegal drugs and money, accord-ing to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office.

The sheriff’s office made the largest seizure of all time last year, seizing more than $101,000 in cash from a vehicle stop.

More recently, the sheriff’s office has seized $12,000 in two separate cases as well as being paid $34,211 over the last year in state drug tax money.

State drug tax money is paid to the department when persons convicted of drug charges are fined by the state. The arresting department sends seized drug money to the DEA and later re-ceives approximately 80 percent of the money back. The depart-ment then can use that money for drug enforcement needs, such as to buy equipment and pay offi-cers overtime for enforcement. The sheriff’s office has not yet received its portion of the more than $101,000 it seized.

The sheriff’s office has made a total of 62 arrests over the last year for illegal drug operations, 29 of which were felonies.

The narcotics unit has also begun close operations with neighboring Rutherford County as well as working more closely with local departments, the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI), the Spartanburg County, S.C. Sheriff’s Office, the DEA (federal Drug Enforcement Ad-ministration) and the National Guard.

Working closely with the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Of-fice has perhaps been the most productive for Polk County,

according to Det. Sgt. Michael Capps. Capps has been sworn to make arrests in Rutherford County and a Rutherford County officer has been sworn to make arrests in Polk. Capps says he and the Rutherford County of-ficer work together almost daily and the departments split money seized between the two agencies on any joint operations.

The narcotics unit has busted several indoor marijuana grow-ing operations recently, includ-ing a small one in Saluda and a larger one with 203 indoor plants in Rutherford County.

Polk County was also in-volved recently in a large op-eration just over the county line in Rutherford County in which a mail carrier in Rutherford County was arrested for selling prescription medications after stealing them out of the mail.

The sheriff’s office has also recently set up a drug tip line that allows people to call the sheriff’s office about illegal drug activity in the county and remain anonymous. Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill says he encourages any residents who know of illegal drug activity go-ing on in their neighborhoods to call 828-894-8707 and leave an anonymous tip.

Letter to the Editor

Our world blessed by kids we metTo the Editor:

This has been on my back burner for quite some time, but last March at the Harmon Field Heritage Days, my Civil War group had the pleasure of meet-ing 800 of the future leaders of Polk County.

We had a blast, the kids were great. I’ve given similar school day events many times, and I’m proud to say that the Polk County children are the best mannered, most intelligent young people I’ve had the honor

Children attending a Harmon Field Heritage Days show off a squirrell. (photo submitted)

to teach. So the story of this photo is:

I was in between classes, when Lisa Krolak, one of my troopers, came by trailing a group of kids, disappeared into the tent, and I could hear her rummaging around. I asked what she needed, and her answer was, “Peanuts for Mr. Rocky the squirrel.”

I laughed and asked the kids if they had a squirrel, thinking it was a clever ploy by enterpris-ing kids and a trooper to have snack time. “Sure, want to see him,” came the reply, and to my bemusement, the tallest young lady (lets not use the word ringleader), fished a squirrel from under the jacket of another young lady. Which explained the hooded parka a bit, which I had overlooked.

They put him in my hands, and I remembered many years back to the day when I rescued a similar sized one from a dog, I still have the scars to remember my good deed by.

So I handed him back pretty quickly, they smiled, took the roasted peanuts, back under the parka Mr. Rocky went, and they tripped out of my day as quickly as they entered, leaving me with the memories of their smiles.

I don’t know who the kids are, but our corner of the world is certainly blessed because they are here.

Environmental disaster of gasTo the Editor:

We r ecen t l y w a t ched a documentary on HBO entitled GASLAND.

We’re still reeling from the fright-ening information we’re trying to process. It was about the hydraulic fracturing used in producing natural gas across our nation.

We thought everyone should be aware of the devastating effects caused by the production of “clean natural gas”.

It made us realize the current oil spill in the gulf may be only the second biggest environmental disaster currently happening in the U.S. It is currently showing on HBO using “On Demand.” We encourage everyone to watch it.

Gibson finishes off Polk Co. 5k sweep

Asheville’s Katie Gibson crosses the finish line during Satuday’s Coon Dog 5k in Saluda. Gibson was the women’s overall winner in both the Firecracker 5k in Columbus on July 3 and the Coon Dog 5k. (staff photo)

by John Clayton

asheville’s Katie gibson com-pleted a sweep of polk County’s summer 5k runs saturday with the women’s overall victory in the Coon Dog 5k saturday morn-ing in saluda.

gibson, an emergency veteri-narian, somewhat fittingly took home the Coon Dog 5k trophy a week after winning the inaugural Firecracker 5k in Columbus.

the Coon Dog 5k returned to the town’s annual Coon Dog Day lineup after a two-year hiatus, and 175 runners competed in this year’s event.

gibson turned in a time of 18 minutes, 25 seconds for the Coon Dog Day win, more than two minutes ahead of second-place Mollie Jones in the women’s division. Jones finished in 20:56. Margaret Manuel of Kennesaw, Ga., was third at 22:56.

Danie l amick , a l so o f asheville, was the overall men’s winner at 15:50, just 33 sec-onds ahead of orinthal striggles (16:23) of Newberry, S.C. Char-lotte’s Gary Ball (18:24) finished third overall.

Tryon’s Bailey Nager took first place in his 50-54 age group and 11th overall at 19:46.

alice tongue of tryon also earned a first-place finish in her 25-29 age group, finishing the challenging mountain course in 23:50.

In the women’s 45-49 age division, saluda’s Beth Harris (23:46) was second and Tryon’s Dee Dee Turner (29:44) took third behind Charleston’s Nita Timothy (23:11).

the race was not without a

little controversy in its return to Coon Dog Day.

Tryon’s Keaton Nager, who finished 19th overall, said run-ners were confused over some of the course markings and cut off a small portion of the course, turning the 5k run into more of a 4.7 or 4.8k.

Nager said Amick actually slowed his pace searching for markers as he cruised to the overall victory by 30 seconds over striggles.

“It was a little short,” Keaton said. “they didn’t have the course well marked, and we were supposed to go down (the)main street and take a right past the library. Instead, we ended up taking a right and going along the upper side of the school, so it was a little shorter than it was supposed to be.”

TLT requests boys shirts ASAPAt a production meeting

Monday night for the upcoming youth production of “Charlotte’s Web,” costumer Lynn Costine announced there’s a major lack of boys’ shirts not only in the Tryon Little Theater’s costume collection, but also in every thrift store in the area.

That’s a big problem when you’ve got 14 boys to dress in the sort of shirts Opie Taylor would have worn on the old “Andy Griffith Show” - cotton shirts both long and short sleeve in plaids, checks, and solid col-ors, in boys sizes 8 to 14.

If you have some old Opie Taylor shirts you no longer

need that you think are ready to make their stage debut, bring them this week to the Tryon Fine Arts Center and leave them with Marianne Carruth, director of “Charlotte’s Web.” You’ll find her at the counter to the right as you enter the front doors at 34 Melrose Avenue.

The Tryon Little Theater/Tryon Youth Center production of E. B. White’s classic chil-dren’s tale “Charlotte’s Web” plays TFAC July 29 and 30 at 8 p.m., and July 31 through August 1 at 3 p.m. For further information, call Carruth at 828-859-8322.

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.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take lessons from a local profes-sional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dres-sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country course and stadium jump-ing. They ended up high point!

Raffle for Youth CenterThe Tryon Youth Center’s 22nd annual car raffle will

not likely take place as scheduled, July 31st. The raffle has been postponed in the past, so ticket sales could continue long enough to make the fundraiser profitable.

But this year, sales have yet to come close. Only 200 tickets have been sold. Youth Center director Franklin McKaig says at least 500 must be sold to hold the raffle.

The prize this year, as in the past, is a new BMW worth up to $40,000. The winner can choose to take $25,000 in cash instead. at the most, 800 tickets will be sold. One in 800 on a $100 ticket is pretty good odds compared to the millions entered in national promotional sweepstakes.

Not only that, but this is the single fundraiser for the Tryon Youth Center each year and is vital to the center’s annual budget. The center, located on Hwy. 176 in the pacolet Valley, is home to athletic team fundraisers, Boy Scouts meetings, church youth groups, high school dances, and school and community fundraisers. Rehearsals for summer youth and Tryon Little Theater shows have taken place there, pTa meetings, civic organizations meetings and socials. In addition, the facility is rented out for Foot-hills Duplicate Bridge, as well as private parties, weddings and receptions.

The Youth Center purchased its building in 1984 and used to hold all Tryon High School dances there. Over the years, with the proceeds from the raffle, the building has been improved with energy efficient windows, a new parking area, heating system, roof, a deck overlooking the river and much more.

If you want to try your luck, and support one of our community institutions, tickets are sold at TJ’s Cafe, Tryon pharmacy, the Bulletin, Frog & Swan, Nature’s Storehouse, Town & Country Realtors, Caro-Mi, Tryon Federal, and The Book Shelf as well as from Franklin McKaig. good luck you may have. goodwill is assured.— JB

A great bargainTo the editor:

Have you ever wondered what it cost to run your appliances? I have and decided to do something about it. I purchased a device called KILLaWaTT. When you plug an electrical appliance into it, it displays watts, kilowatt-hours, and time, along with voltage, amperage, and fre-quency.

armed with this weapon, I started stalking the appliances in my house. First I calculated the cost of a kilowatt using my May electric bill, since it isn’t displayed on the bill. I divided my cost, $76.95 by the kilowatt-hours, 808, and came up with 9.52 cents per kilowatt-hour.

My first candidate was the toaster. I found that two slices of toast used .04 kilowatts for a cost of .4 cents. The bread machine was next. a pound and a half loaf used .26 kilowatts for a cost of 2.5 cents. That is hardly enough to break the bank. My plasma TV will use .0528 kilowatt hours each day or .5 cents when off but plugged in. If I want to watch something, it costs 5 cents/hour. I have two refrigerators. The newer energy efficient one uses 1.51 kilowatt hours each day and costs 15 cents. The older one is used for storage and costs 14 cents/day. a cup of tea on the microwave uses .07 kilowatt hours and costs

.0066 cents. My floor fan used 60 watts on low and 100 watts on high.

My desktop computer produc-es some interesting figures. Just sitting it uses 8.3 watts. If I turn it on and bring up the operating

system it goes to 132 watts or 30 cents/day. If I’m doing some-thing, like browsing it averages 150 watts or 1.4 cents/hour. If it

sits and the screensaver appears, it goes down to 100 watts. The best deal is standby, that only costs 47 watts or .44 cents/hour.

Turning the printer on adds 2 watts and the scanner on adds 7 watts. printing takes 13 watts and costs .12 cents/hour. Scanning goes for 23 watts and adds .22 cents/hour.

The real energy hog is my dehumidifier. Running on high, it takes 7.03 watts, which is 67 cents/day. Running on medium it drops to 4.84 watts or 46 cents/day.

I normally turn the printer and scanner off when not being used. The computer is on from when I arise to bedtime. The TV stays plugged in as the convenience is worth the half cent it costs. Computer and TV get unplugged when we travel, or when an elec-trical storm threatens.

From the figures I have come up with, you can see that house-hold electricity is one of the great bargains of modern life.

Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by Dean Campbell

Trains were popular, in tear jerking ballads

Long before the days of tele-vision, or even the popularity of the Carter Family or the Grand Ole Opry on radio, Dark Corner families entertained themselves with ballads of various human experiences.

Being simple, unsophisti-cated folk, they sang tales of toil, trouble and tribulation—conditions and circumstances with which they were intimately acquainted.

Many of the ballads told of e x p e r i e n c e s while traveling on trains.

The Saluda Grade railroad through Lan-drum and Try-on on the Cor-ner’s eastern border, the Swamp Rabbit route from Greenville to Jones Gap on its western border and the east-west routes of the Norfolk-Southern Railway and the Piedmont-Northern Electric Railway running through Green-ville, Greer and Spartanburg below its southern border, were familiar to the mountain people.

Perhaps the favorite train bal-lad was “A Lightning Express Train.” Here are the lyrics:

A Lightning Express Train

A lightning express train, from the depot so grand,

Had started on its way;And everybody on board this

trainSeemed to be happy and gay.

All except a young boy on a seat by himself,

Reading a letter he had;By the tears and sad look in

his eyes,The conductor passed his

side.

“I have no ticket,” the young boy explained,

“But I’ll pay you back some-day.”

“I’ll put you off at the next station.”

When they stopped, he heard the boy say:

“Oh, please, Mr. Conductor, Don’t put me off of your

train,For the dearest friend I have

in this worldIs waiting for me in pain.

“Expecting to die any mo-ment,

She may not last through the day;

I want to kiss mama goodbye, sir,

B e f o r e God takes her

away.”

A kind, young lady was sit-ting beside,

“Don’t put the boy off, it’s a shame.”

She took his hat, collection she made,

And paid the boy’s way on the train.

“Oh, thank you, kind lady, for your kindness to me,

And welcome you need not care.”

Every time the conductor would pass through the car,

These words would ring in his ear:

“Oh, please, Mr. Conductor,Don’t put me off of your

train,For the dearest friend I have

in this worldIs waiting for me in pain.

“Expecting to die any mo-ment,

She may not last through the day;

I want to kiss mama good-bye, sir,

Befo re God t akes he r away.”

Raffle for Youth CenterThe Tryon Youth Center’s 22nd annual car raffle will

not likely take place as scheduled, July 31st. The raffle has been postponed in the past, so ticket sales could continue long enough to make the fundraiser profitable.

But this year, sales have yet to come close. Only 200 tickets have been sold. Youth Center director Franklin McKaig says at least 500 must be sold to hold the raffle.

The prize this year, as in the past, is a new BMW worth up to $40,000. The winner can choose to take $25,000 in cash instead. at the most, 800 tickets will be sold. One in 800 on a $100 ticket is pretty good odds compared to the millions entered in national promotional sweepstakes.

Not only that, but this is the single fundraiser for the Tryon Youth Center each year and is vital to the center’s annual budget. The center, located on Hwy. 176 in the pacolet Valley, is home to athletic team fundraisers, Boy Scouts meetings, church youth groups, high school dances, and school and community fundraisers. Rehearsals for summer youth and Tryon Little Theater shows have taken place there, pTa meetings, civic organizations meetings and socials. In addition, the facility is rented out for Foot-hills Duplicate Bridge, as well as private parties, weddings and receptions.

The Youth Center purchased its building in 1984 and used to hold all Tryon High School dances there. Over the years, with the proceeds from the raffle, the building has been improved with energy efficient windows, a new parking area, heating system, roof, a deck overlooking the river and much more.

If you want to try your luck, and support one of our community institutions, tickets are sold at TJ’s Cafe, Tryon pharmacy, the Bulletin, Frog & Swan, Nature’s Storehouse, Town & Country Realtors, Caro-Mi, Tryon Federal, and The Book Shelf as well as from Franklin McKaig. good luck you may have. goodwill is assured.— JB

A great bargainTo the editor:

Have you ever wondered what it cost to run your appliances? I have and decided to do something about it. I purchased a device called KILLaWaTT. When you plug an electrical appliance into it, it displays watts, kilowatt-hours, and time, along with voltage, amperage, and fre-quency.

armed with this weapon, I started stalking the appliances in my house. First I calculated the cost of a kilowatt using my May electric bill, since it isn’t displayed on the bill. I divided my cost, $76.95 by the kilowatt-hours, 808, and came up with 9.52 cents per kilowatt-hour.

My first candidate was the toaster. I found that two slices of toast used .04 kilowatts for a cost of .4 cents. The bread machine was next. a pound and a half loaf used .26 kilowatts for a cost of 2.5 cents. That is hardly enough to break the bank. My plasma TV will use .0528 kilowatt hours each day or .5 cents when off but plugged in. If I want to watch something, it costs 5 cents/hour. I have two refrigerators. The newer energy efficient one uses 1.51 kilowatt hours each day and costs 15 cents. The older one is used for storage and costs 14 cents/day. a cup of tea on the microwave uses .07 kilowatt hours and costs

.0066 cents. My floor fan used 60 watts on low and 100 watts on high.

My desktop computer produc-es some interesting figures. Just sitting it uses 8.3 watts. If I turn it on and bring up the operating

system it goes to 132 watts or 30 cents/day. If I’m doing some-thing, like browsing it averages 150 watts or 1.4 cents/hour. If it

sits and the screensaver appears, it goes down to 100 watts. The best deal is standby, that only costs 47 watts or .44 cents/hour.

Turning the printer on adds 2 watts and the scanner on adds 7 watts. printing takes 13 watts and costs .12 cents/hour. Scanning goes for 23 watts and adds .22 cents/hour.

The real energy hog is my dehumidifier. Running on high, it takes 7.03 watts, which is 67 cents/day. Running on medium it drops to 4.84 watts or 46 cents/day.

I normally turn the printer and scanner off when not being used. The computer is on from when I arise to bedtime. The TV stays plugged in as the convenience is worth the half cent it costs. Computer and TV get unplugged when we travel, or when an elec-trical storm threatens.

From the figures I have come up with, you can see that house-hold electricity is one of the great bargains of modern life.

Local art, furniture at Art Trek Tryonby Lee Stockdale

What do area residents Derek Hennigar, Andy Costine, Brian Fireman, Joe Cooper and Bill Crowell all have in common? They are artists who create what Cooper calls, “functional art,” practical art you can use: furniture, tables, chairs, clocks, bed boards, rockers and more. They are all participating in this year’s Art Trek Tryon, pre-sented by the Upstairs Artspace. Their studios will open to Trek-kers free of charge on Saturday, July 24 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, July 25 from 12 to 5 p.m. Each of these artists cre-ates unique work of heirloom quality.

Andy Costine creates wood art that is practical. Costine blends different varieties of woods and “ideas” so that the result is a juxtaposition of both the rugged wood in its natural state, and precisely cut pieces, inset or inlaid into that rugged-ness. (Al Gore commissioned

and has three Costine tables.)Bill Crowell, famously of

Saluda Forge, creates metal work: tables, chairs, fireplace screens, headboards for beds, stair railings, trellises, and, if you drive around the area and happen upon a crafted gate, it is likely Bill Crowell’s crafts-manship. (Personal favorite: gate with heron -- Pacolet Valley.)

Brian Fireman is a furniture designer specializing in hand-crafted contemporary furniture. Fireman uses the wood’s indi-vidual qualities – color, texture, grain direction – to influence the final form of his pieces. His work may be “furniture,” but it is also stand-alone art. Sculpture you can use. Fire-man’s work is a confluence of contemporary art and structural design.

Joe Cooper works chiefly in bronze and copper. He calls his creations “functional art” and designs and produces lighting,

lanterns, sconces, cupolas, door panels, but primarily custom lighting. Interior designers, decorators and architects es-pecially appreciate Cooper’s work

Derek Hennigar’s “line” of furniture is called “Ordinary Furniture.” Hennigar designs an entire series of chairs and rockers, and also what he calls kybos, wood boxes twistedly stacked on top of one another which appear to defy gravity.

An exhibit of work by par-ticipating artists opens with a preview party at the Upstairs Artspace in Tryon on Friday, July 23 from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibit will continue through August 21.

A brochure with a map and driving directions is available from sponsoring area busi-nesses, the Upstairs website, upstairsartspace.org or by call-ing the Upstairs at 828-859-2828.
