Tryon depot on its way to new lifeby Leah Justice

The Tryon Depot will soon be starting a new life, but it will look a lot like a return to a previous life.

The Town of Tryon ap-proved a lease a couple of months ago with Andy Millard of Main Street Financial Group in which Millard agreed to re-store the depot at his expense and move his business there in exchange for a $1 per year lease for 20 years.

T h e t o w n gave others a time period in w h i c h t h e y could bid on the project, but Mil-lards bid won. The cost of the renovation is es-timated at $250,000.

Correction/ClarificationThe article on the new foot-

hills area map on p. 6 of the Thursday, July 22 Bulletin should have said the map proj-ect came out of the Foothills Economic Partnership, not the Landrum Business Associa-tion. Melinda Young of Polk County Travel and Tourism and Madelon Wallace have been the moving force behind the project. Young and Wal-lace are asking and getting funding from all four towns (and business associations), the Carolina Foothills Cham-ber of Commerce, the Tryon/Polk County Board of Realtors and Polk County. Young and Wallace have also been work-ing with the map company and have been meeting with all the entities involved. The project funds will be channeled through the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce.

A glance at some of the latest news in the area.

news briefs

Columbus annexation guidelineColumbus Town Council agreed last week to draft an an-nexation guideline that will put on paper what the town is seeking in terms of future growth. The idea was posed by councilmember Ernie Kan, who said after Foster Creek has been developed, the town may not want to grow any further. Councilman Michael Gage said his policy is to voluntarily annex only properties contiguous to the town, which Kan said should be in the towns plan. Town man-ager Jonathan Kanipe offered to draft a guideline for town council to approve.

Columbus ethics policyAs required by state law, the Town of Columbus has a new ethics policy, which includes guidelines for elected office. The town approved the code of ethics, based on the N.C. Institute of Governments Flemming Bells book written specifically for local governments.

N. C. liquor store laws changeChanges to North Carolinas liquor store laws should build confidence in taxpayers because there will be a better eye on store operations and the people that run them, Gov. Beverly Perdue said Wednesday as she signed the reforms into law. The bill, developed after several months of hearings and negotiations by Perdues of-fice, local government lobbyists and state and local ABC board leaders, makes clear local board members are barred from accepting gifts from vendors, must follow set conflict-of-interest rules and must take ethics training. Local ABC boards, which are essentially independent agencies, now must follow procedural rules that counties and cities must follow to create an annual budget. Sala-ries for store administrators are capped, with some ex-ceptions, and boards must meet performance standards or stores could close of boards merged. Reforms gained momentum following news reports of the high salaries of local board administrators in New Hanover County and meals paid for by liquor companies to local ABC lead-ers, particularly one $12,700 gathering in Mecklenburg County. Much of the law takes effect Oct. 1.

Blue Cross cash reservesBlue Cross plans are sitting on huge cash reserves while continuing to sock customers with hefty rate hikes, a national consumer advocacy group charges. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina has stockpiled a record surplus of $1.4 billion and lawmakers should force the insurer to use some of the money to help control surging premiums, Consumers Union urged in a study released Thursday. This year, the company raised rates for indi-vidual coverage an average of 12.24 percent. The report examines the reserves of 10 nonprofit Blue Cross health plans across the country. As with other Blue plans, the reserves at this states Blue Cross are well above indus-try standards, the reports authors say, and more than whats needed to protect the insurers financial health and ensure that claims are paid.

Landrums Land Heintzberger during this past weekends Ride to Remember for the Alzheimers Association. The ride from Simpsonville, S.C. to Charleston raised more than $37,000. (photo provided)

Editor's note: An incomplete version of this article was inad-vertently run in the Friday, July 23 Bulletin's sports section. The full article is given below.by John Clayton

This past weeks Ride to Re-member to benefit the Alzheimers Association is one Landrums Land Heintzberger doesnt want to forget.

I was so impressed by everyone there they all had such passion for the cause, Heintzberger said. I was impressed by all the people involved and all the organizing ef-forts. It was inspiring to be around such a great group of people.

Heintzberger, a triathlete who formerly raced for a professional

team in Germany, rode the 280 miles from Simpsonville, S.C. to the historic streets of Charlestons Battery and Rainbow Row along with 59 other cyclists. The com-bined effort raised $37,000 for the Alzheimers Foundation and awareness about the disease.

But Heintzberger was already well aware of the costs that Al-zheimers can weigh on a family.

My grandmother (Jean Love-day) passed away from Alzheim-ers about two years ago, and I moved here with my family to help take care of her, Heintzberger said. Going through that experi-ence and seeing the effects of Alzheimers made me want to do the Ride to Remember after finding out about it.

He also said he was dismayed to learn some cold statistics about

Local triathlete rides for a cureIronman felt pain of Alzheimer loss

Alzheimers over the weekend, including one that says the number of cases of Alzheimers is grow-ing while deaths from other dread diseases are on the wane.

It affects everyone in the fam-ily, Heintzberger said. When you see someone you love going through that awful experience its like you lose them before theyre gone.

While Heintzberger would normally be used to a long bicycle trek, a shoulder injury has kept him out of competition as a triathlete for the past two years. Prior to the injury, he said he routinely rode 400 miles per week to prepare for Ironman events.

Its been tough to be on the bike a lot the past couple of years

with the injury, he said. So, this was a good chance to get on the bike and start getting back into shape, and it was great to be around other athletes.

Heintzberger said he hopes to return to competition next year. But he said he also wants to return to the Ride to Remember as well.

I got in a little late this time, so I didnt get to do as much fundrais-ing as I wouldve liked, he said. Hopefully, next year, I can jump in a little earlier.

The goal next year is 100 rid-ers for $100,000. I want to be a part of that.

The Ride to Remember will be accepting donations through its website at http://aridetore-member.kintera.org/ through July 26.

wanting to renovate and restore its depot for years, but funding was never available. Town of-ficials have said the partnership is a win/win situation: the depot will be restored and will then be able to contribute to the town's economic development.

Work began in the past couple of weeks on taking the siding off the 1906 building.

Im excited about it, Millard says. I intend to create a build-ing, a facility that the town can be proud of.

Millard is planning for the building to consist of three of-fices, a reception area and the freight room that will be used as a public facility where the pub-lic can rent space for gatherings and the town can hold events. The freight room will include a catering kitchen. Plans call for the freight room to serve as a depot museum as well, with his-torical pictures and memorabilia from Tryons historic train days. Millard is asking the publics help in finding old photographs and other items from the depots historic days.

Im excited about the freight room, Millard says. Its going to be really, really nice.

He explains that all the drop down ceilings are being taken out and the freight room ceiling will go all the way to the roof with its original beams.

Mike Karaman is the general contractor, with specialists being used to remove asbestos found in the building.

The project began with lots of surprises, such as asbestos in the siding and one of the rooms. Once the siding was taken off, crews discovered that the entire building was constructed in lumber that was treated in creosote, which was dripping. There were also -inch gaps between the boards. The building had no insulation, so the next phase is placing spray foam insulation in the building.

Millard also discovered that the roof has to be replaced along with the fascia and the soffit underneath.

Pretty much everything that can be replaced needs to be re-placed, Millard said last week. The last minor renovation done to the building was in the 1990s.

Millard paid the town to rent a truck to remove some of the

demolition materials. Once complete, the building

will also have two handicapped accessible bathrooms. The origi-nal depot had two bathrooms and two separate waiting bays, one for whites near the tracks and one for blacks in the rear room that today faces the depot gardens.

Millard says one part of initial

construction was exciting when they discovered that they will be able to preserve some of the original terrazzo flooring in the building, which is concrete with flecks of stone in it.

It is a tremendous project, Millard says, but Im hoping to have it complete by the end of this year.

Notice from towN of columbus

Grease iNterceptorsGrease traps or interceptors are

passive devices required by munici-palities to stop grease, fat, oil, wax, or debris from entering the city's sanitary sewer system.

Such materials cause blockages in the system, which cause backups and overflows. Traps and interceptors are designed to separate greasy materials from wastewater so that they can be removed before they enter the sewer system.

All restaurants, caterers, school cafeterias and other commercial cooking facilities must avoid discharg-ing grease into the municipal sewer system.

Grease interceptors must receive wastewater from all contributory sources, such as pot sinks, dishwash-ers, floor drains and mat washing area drains before draining to the sanitary sewer system.

Typical building codes require all such new or rebuilt facilities to install a grease interceptor to pre-treat grease entering a sewer. All units should be fit-ted with a standard final-stage sample box. Interceptors must typically be sized for at least a 30 minute peak wastewater flow detention time from all contributory sources.

On occasion, a grease trap will be required in place of an interceptor. Traps are typically required to have a rated flow capacity sufficient for the same 30-minute flow time.

All new, and rebuilt, as well as existing kitchen facilities, must dedi-cate a specific area for the washing of floor mats and related equipment, bermed to ensure wastewater is not discharged to the storm drain system but to a grease interceptor discharging to the sanitary sewer.

Outdoor wash-down area drains must be protected from rain water intrusion. All garbage disposal units must be eliminated.

Usually, grease interceptors must be installed by a state-certified plumb-er. For grease interceptors and traps to function properly they must also be regularly serviced and maintained by a qualified contractor.

Please note that the following in-formation is provided as a guide only, and is not to be used as a substitute for a professional evaluation of any business.

Grease traps must be located at least 10 feet from hot water faucets. All hot water must cool to 120o F before entering the grease trap.

The size of the grease trap must comply with the Uniform Plumbing Code. Any sink or disposal that could carry grease must empty into the trap.adv. 7/22

Living Simply

With Style

By ford and Mara smith

Support a cause, share your skills, give moneyAn essential part of living

simply with style is giving. You can give money, donate time, support a cause, share your skills, even, leave a legacy.

The vast majority of Ameri-cans (more than 70%) give money every year. Of course, you want your money spent efficiently. A great source for investigating various organizations is the web site: www.charitynavigator.org. For almost ten years, this group has evaluated non-profits both on overall as well as fund-raising efficiency.

If you want to provide funds for emergency assistance, a local option might be Steps to Hope ( c o u n t e r i n g domestic vio-lence). An ef-fective national group, Feeding America, pro-vides most of the food used in food banks such as Manna in Asheville and Thermal Belt Outreach in Polk County.

Perhaps you can give the gift of time. Organizations such as Americorps, Peace Corps, Make a Wish Foundation, Big Broth-ers/Big Sisters, and Hospice can effectively use your skills. Also, you could tutor, deliver for Meals On Wheels, perform roadside or creekside cleanup, or assist with maintenance for a worthy cause.

You might want to contribute to groups that support others in a more long-term manner. If you

go to www.kiva.org, you can participate in their microfinance effort. Kivas mission is to con-nect people, through lending, for the sake of alleviating poverty. Another effort is Heifer Interna-tional where you can fund farm animals that allow the poor fami-lies to raise their level of sustain-ability. Then, they help others by Passing on the Gift.

After the Haiti earthquake, one persons plan for long-range development gained some pub-licity. Abe Valentin has created self-sufficient fish hatcheries that are being deployed among the poorest villages, enabling them

to dramatically raise their mea-ger cash flow. You can read more at the So-cial Enterprise Funds web site.

P e r h a p s , youve heard of Craig Morten-son, author of Three Cups of Tea, and his efforts to help Pakistanis and Afghans build schools for their villages (especially for girls). Pennies for Peace, cre-ated by U.S. school students, has raised thousands of dollars for the effort.

With a little research, you could discover Ashoka, an ambi-tious organization that supports third-world entrepreneurs. The success of its fellows over the last eleven years is impressive. You can donate or volunteer.

Another way to give is by conserving land for future gen-

erations. Sign a conservation easement or work with the Pa-colet Area Conservancy. Look at Walnut Creek Preserve in north-ern Polk County. Visit nearby Hatcher Garden in Spartanburg to learn what one couple created from farmed-out, red dirt cotton fields with minimum financial resources.

You can also donate goods to thrift stores administered by vari-ous non-profits. You can even sell items through Ebays Giving Works section and allocate all or part of the proceeds to your favorite charity.

At some point, you might consider leaving a long-lasting legacy. You could tell or write a story, create a visual record, or learn to pay it forward. Con-sider Warren Buffets example of pledging to have 95% of his fortune given away to favorite causes after his death. Endow some scholarships. Create a fund administered by the Polk County Community Foundation.

We can choose to live simply, but learning to give generously has style.

Editors Note: Mara & Ford Smith hope to leave a legacy with their writing and photography. Their books are available at The Book Shelf and their wine list at La Bouteille. Their photographs can be seen at Kathleens Gal-lery, The Purple Onion, and the Saluda Inns wine cellar. This article and earlier ones can be found on their web site at www.livesimplywithstyle.com/tdb.htm.

The Bird Box

by Simon Thompson

We have all seen those pho-tographs and video clips coming from the Gulf of Mexico; whether it is Brown Pelicans floundering around in a sea of brown slimy oil or Least Terns flying ashore to incubate their eggs unwittingly causing a prob-able nest failure. Unquestionably this is a massive environmental disaster and these are just the ef-fects that we can see. Theres a bigger problem under the surface as this mass of oil spreads and continues to obliterate many spe-cies of marine life.

The list of birds affected by this tragedy continues to grow, and while the majority of the birds treated are Brown pelicans, other species now coming in to be cleaned include White Pelican, Laughing Gull, Sandwich, Com-mon and Least Terns, Black Skim-mer, several shorebirds and even Roseate Spoonbill. To be honest, there are few birds, including all of our coastal seabirds, shorebirds and even marsh species, that wont be affected by the spreading oil.

Its easy to sit back and just comment on these television re-ports, rue our dependence on oil - foreign or otherwise and do nothing. But there are thousands of

people out there helping and giv-ing a lot of their personal time and energy to combat this ignorant de-struction of our native wildlife, including a large

number here in Western North Carolina.

We at Wild Birds Unlimited are pleased to announce our as-sociation with Wildlife Rescue of Western North Carolina and the International Bird Rescue Research Center and are acting as a drop-off point for vital supplies and medical equipment to help with the wildlife rescue operations in Louisiana. The next rescue mission is im-minent and several volunteers will be leaving from Asheville on the July 28th.

Local wildlife rehabilitator, Sherry Johnson, has just returned from Plaquemines Parish in south-ern Louisiana, where she worked with the Audubon Society and

Helping those oiled birds on the Gulf Coast

International Bird Rescue Research Center (IBRRC). Sherry and her husband, Stewart Johnson, will return to the Gulf on July 30th with the items donated, so please give what you can.

We at Wild Birds Unlimited, both in Hendersonville and at our store in Asheville, are taking donations up to Thursday, July 28th. We need everything from paper towels to plastic tubs. The complete list is on the home page of our website: www.asheville.wbu.com where all of the other pertinent information is also

outlined.I may even be heading down

there myself to help out- we shall see!

Thanks very much indeed and if you have any questions, just call us at the store on 828-687-9433.

Simon Thompson has lived in WNC for the past 16 years. He owns and operates his own birding tour company, Ven-tures Birding Tours. WWW.bird ventures.com.

If you have birding questions, please drop Simon an e-mail at the above site.

Rufus L. Stewart reunion August 1

Candy Maier Scholarships available for writing retreatThe Candy Fund (TCF) has

offered to provide scholarships for Tryon resident Robin Edgars annual Life Writing Retreat to be held in Little Switzerland, N.C., this October 8 to 10. TCF scholar-ship recipients must be women, 21 years of age or older, who reside in Western North Carolina. Scholar-ships provide up to 50 percent of tuition/program costs or $250 (whichever is less).

Edgar, a nationally known au-thor and writing workshop facilita-tor, offers this annual weekend life-writing retreat to women interested in life-writing, regardless of skill level or experience. Held at Wilda-cres Retreat atop Pompeys Knob and adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Pisgah National Forest, the retreat is undisturbed by through traffic or noises of the city. (See www.wildacrs.org for

more information).The Candy Maier Scholarship

Fund for Women Writers is a non-profit public charity founded in 2006 as a memorial for Asheville writer Candy Maier that provides assistance to Western North Caro-lina women (21 or older) to at-tend writing classes, workshops, retreats, and conferences.

In the last four years TCF gave out $9,700 in scholarships to over

60 women in this region for pro-grams offered by organizations such as the Great Smokies Writ-ing Program, ClarityWorks, North Carolina Writers Network, Writing Naked, as well as Wildacres.

To register for the retreat or find out more about applying for the Candy Maier scholarship, contact Robin Edgar at [email protected].
