Benefit soup kitchen May 24 at Tryon Fire DepartmentThe Polk County Sheriff’s

Office and Tryon Fire Depart-ment will hold their next soup kitchen Thursday, May 24 from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. at the Tryon Fire Department. This month’s event will be a spaghetti dinner.

Proceeds from this month’s event will be used to assist Tryon resident David Webster with medical bills.

“We’ve been very fortunate with the success of the first four soup kitchens in terms of being able to make money to fund its continuation,” said Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill. “We wanted to try something different this month and help a citizen in need. This doesn’t change the mission of the soup kitchen – we still are able to provide meals to those who cannot afford them, but we wanted to do something a little differ-ent with the proceeds from this month’s event. I think it speaks volumes about the generosity of

our citizens that we’re able to do this while still being able to maintain funding to continue the program on regular basis.”

Meals will be available for take-out or people may eat at the Tryon Fire Department. Dona-

tions can be made at the event or can be dropped off at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office. Checks can be made out to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office; write “David Webster” in the memo line.

Cooks prepare for the crowd and the cook-off competition at the second soup kitchen held by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and the Tryon Fire Department. The event, held Feb. 11, included a cook-off competition. (photo submitted by Joey Davis)

Polk County received only 4.12 inches of rain during April, according to weather data col-lected at the Tryon Water Plant. Tryon received 2 inches of rain on April 6 and another 1.11 inches on April 18. All other rain received in April was less than an inch per day.

Between April 10 and May 8, Polk County was classified as in a moderate drought. On May 15, however, the drought monitor showed Polk County was no longer in any drought classification.

Polk was classified as ab-normally dry between Dec. 13, 2011 and April 3, 2012, accord-ing to the drought monitor. The county was in the moderate

drought classification between Oct. 25, 2011 and Dec. 6, 2011.

North Carolina has several areas that are still experiencing a moderate drought or are clas-sified as abnormally dry. The central part of North Carolina is currently experiencing abnor-mally dry conditions while the coast is experiencing moderate drought conditions.

Greenville and Spartanburg counties in South Carolina are also no longer considered in drought conditions. They were classified as in a moderate drought as recently as April 25. Several other South Carolina counties are still classified as in a severe or moderate drought.

Forecasts for this week in-clude no rain and temperatures are expected to be in the high 70s to mid 80s.

Judy WoodhamJoan (Judy) Morrison Wood-

ham, 82, died Thursday, May 17, 2012 at Tryon Estates in Columbus.

Born in Selma, Calif. on Feb. 14, 1930, she was the daughter of the late Erwin Gorham Morrison and Virginia Grannis Morrison.

Obituaries Judy attended the University of Nevada in Reno. At the end of 1985, Judy and Woody moved to Tryon from Toledo, Ohio and be-came active in a number of com-munity volunteer organizations, including St. Luke’s Hospital Auxiliary, Tryon Garden Club, Tryon Congregational Church, Meals on Wheels, FENCE, Sec-ond Wind Hall of Fame and Friends of the Fine Arts Center.

She is survived by her hus-

band of 59 years, B.G. (Woody) Woodham Jr., a son, Douglas Woodham (Dalya Inhaber) of New York; a daughter, Barbara Lochen (Stephen) of Chicago, and a brother, James Scott Mor-rison (Susan) of Hendersonville, N.C. Also surviving are three grandchildren, Abigail, Elizabeth and Mitchell.

A memorial service will be held at a later date in the Con-gregational Church of Tryon,

Polk Rescue Squad requests funding increase to 1/3 cent by Leah Justice

The Polk County Rescue Squad has asked Polk County to increase its funding from 1/4 of a cent tax revenue to a 1/3 of a cent.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Tuesday, May 15 to hear budget requests from its six fire departments, the Harmon Field Board of Supervisors and the rescue squad. The board will make its final decisions June 18.

Columbus and Mill Spring fire departments have also requested a one-cent tax increase for fiscal year

2012-2013, which begins July 1.Polk County Manager Ryan

Whitson has denied all requests for tax increases in the county. Commis-sioners have not yet indicated how they intend to vote on the requests.

The rescue squad currently receives $63,990 from the county annually to support its operations. Representatives told commission-ers the squad needs the additional revenue to purchase defibrillators.

The increase would mean an ad-ditional $23,552 for the department, or a 37-percent increase. If the in-

crease is funded, the rescue squad would receive $87,548 annually.

The requests from Columbus and Mill Spring fire departments would come from additional tax revenue while the rescue squad request would come from the county’s budget.

Columbus is requesting a one-cent tax increase in order to hire three full-time employees to staff the department 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Columbus currently has a paid fire chief who works first shift Monday through

Friday and depends on volunteers during nights and weekends.

Columbus currently has a tax rate of 4 cents per $100 of property valuation. A one-cent tax increase from the county would mean an ad-ditional $64,000 to the Columbus Fire Department and an additional $11,568 from the town.

Mill Spring has asked for the increase to help offset increased fuel costs and increases in other supplies used by the department. One penny in Mill Spring would mean an ad-ditional $32,000 for the department.

Geoff Achison, Randall Bramblett play concert at TFAC June 2 Australian blues-roots guitarist

Geoff Achison and Georgia sing-er-songwriter Randall Bramblett will take center stage with drum-mer and Grammy winner Yonrico Scott and bassist Ted Pecchio at the Tryon Fine Arts Center in Tryon on June 2 at 8 p.m.

In collabora-tion with Tryon Fine Arts Cen-ter and public radio s ta t ion WNCW (88.7), Lichty Guitars is a sponsor for this event. Tryon guitar builder Jay Lichty designed and built a custom guitar for Geoff Achison, who plays his Lichty acoustic gui-tar exclusively for his U.S. tours.

“It doesn’t get any better than Geoff Achison and Randall Bram-blett if you love guitars, blues, folk, rock, brilliant lyrics and

vocals. That the Tryon Fine Arts Center is bringing such talent to Tryon is to be applauded, ” said Lichty.

Critics have said when Geoff Achison and Randall Bram-

blett perform together it’s a concert not to be missed.

“Incendiary. That’s the word. Burnin’ hot . I have heard some great jam bands. I grew up on The All-man Brothers, Grateful Dead,

etc. But I have never, no never, heard better jamming than I heard last night,” wrote a reporter for the Atlanta Examiner after an Achison/Bramblett show.

These musicians have played with many well-known groups, including Widespread Panic, The

Head Too Toe Salon expands in new Tryon locationby Samantha Hurst

Head Too Toe Salon and Bou-tique more than tripled its size with its move to a new location last month.

Owner Stacy Strickland origi-nally opened the salon in Tryon 15 years ago at its former loca-tion on Depot Street. She said it was a proud moment to say her business was simply out of room.

“In this economy to accom-plish growth – not just holding on, but real growth – has been exciting,” Strickland said, “es-pecially because it’s mostly local people spending their money with us. We do have clients from out of town but it’s been encour-aging to see how the community here has supported us.”

The Head Too Toe team moved into their new location at 319 South Trade Street, across from Dollar General, on April 3 and has not stopped growing new services since. Strickland added clothing to her salon last year but now the selection has grown, along with the availability of jewelry, handbags, gift items, candles and skin care products.

Strickland said they work to offer all of this without draining anyone’s budget.

“Our goal is to keep our price point low enough that anyone can treat themselves every once in a while without spending a lot,” she said.

Most items are less than $60 and Strickland said at least 90 percent of clothing sold is made in the United States. Head Too Toe also carries a number of lo-cal products such as Small Town

Candles, made in Columbus.

The salon offers ear pierc-ing, makeup lessons and air-brush makeup application.

M a k e u p artist Christina Loftis Welch said she be-lieves women can come shop at the boutique and salon and leave feeling truly pampered.

“I think there’s a little some-thing for everybody,” Welch

said. “When it comes to our clothing bou-tique we’ve got something for you regard-less of your age, size or shape.”

Welch said t h e m o v e opened up her options to of-fer pageant

consulting as well – something she knows well from years of personal pageant experience. The new space has also allowed

Strickland to collaborate with family therapist Ann Moss and photographer Jody Durham, who will both make use of available space upstairs in the salon.

Other Head Too Toe em-ployees include: Brooke Ford, Emma Phipps, Christy Osborn and Kelly Clinton.

Head Too Toe Salon and Boutique is open Monday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., Tuesday-Friday 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturday 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. The salon will host an open house event Sat-urday, June 23 with two bands, food and beverages.

The new location of Head Too Toe Salon and Boutique on S. Trade Street in Tryon has more than three times the space the salon had in its former location on Depot Street. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

Coates to sign books at Book Shelf in Tryon May 26Illustrator Kathy Coates will

be featured at a book-signing on Saturday, May 26 at the Book Shelf in Tryon.

Coates and Cathy Kaem-merlen recently introduced “The Buzz on Honeybees,” a nonfic-tion book for children published by Pelican Publishing.

Kaemmerlen explains bee terminology and gives several anecdotes about bee behavior, including one from nationally known beekeeper Jim Oybey giv-ing details on swarming bees in search of a new home. The stories are illustrated with Coates’ paint-ings of bees and their habits.

Coates’ work is on permanent display in gallery collections throughout the southeast. Coates uses illustrating to combine her love of art, the south and the natural world. She is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and her illustrations appear in “Batty About Texas” and “Cowgirl Alphabet,” both available from Pelican. She lives and works in her hometown of Charlotte, N.C.

Kaemmerlen is an award-winning actress, storyteller and historical interpreter with years of performing experience and in-school performances across the

country. Her humorous portrayals of history and science facts delight audiences of all ages. She has been the featured storyteller at festivals throughout the south and is a mem-ber of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. Her fascination with bees began with her own hands-on experiences with bees and beekeeping. Kaemmerlen resides in Marietta, Ga.

The Book Shelf is located at 94 N. Trade Street in downtown Tryon. For more information, call 828-859-9304.

Pittman wins DC Henson watercolor from Habitat Restore

Julie Pittman of Mill Springs won a Mother’s Day drawing for an original watercolor by local artist DC Henson at the Habitat Restore in Landrum. Pittman said she was very excited, because it was the first thing she had ever won. Pittman decided to give the painting to her own mother for Mother’s Day. (photo submitted by Rhonda Standifer)

Exhibit at TFACnot to be missed

To the Editor: With Tryon Fine Arts Center’s weekend fundraiser Art in Bloom behind us, I thought a reminder that the incredible art and sculpture exhibit both inside TFAC (Gallery 1, Mahler Room and lobby) and outside (at main entrance and on the grounds) will remain in place through Friday, May 25.

Even if you’re not shopping, this diverse display is well worth a leisurely visit. You’ll enjoy works by favorite local artists as well as stunning creations by a few of our more famous purveyors of com-municative pieces.

Congratulations to the Art in Bloom planners and coordinators for the success of their monumental undertaking. It’s nice to have this exhibit around for awhile longer with the addition of art that was painted in each of the tour gardens. Don’t miss it!

- Rita E. Landrum

The Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival will once again be the home of the state barbecue championship.

In a formal proclamation, N.C. Governor Beverly Purdue has decreed that the Blue Ridge Bar-becue & Music Festival held annu-ally in Tryon, “shall be known as a North Carolina State Champion-ship,” and that June 8-9 “shall be ‘The Blue Ridge Barbecue Festi-val Days’ in North Carolina.” The proclamation urges all citizens to commend the observance.

This year the event celebrates its 19th anniversary and, as usual, it will attract thousands of people to this small foothills town. Vol-unteers who plan and execute the event each year say it’s going to be one of the best ever. Chuck Britton, the festival chairman, invites everyone to come enjoy the championship barbecue, live music on two stages both days, regional crafts and family fun at

Kiddy Lane. “We don’t want anyone to be

left out this year,” Britton said, “so we’ve waived the entrance fee on Friday from the time we open at 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. Everybody can get in free during those hours and they can stay until closing if they want to.”

A d m i s s i o n fees on other days inc lude parking, a shuttle to the gate and all concerts. He also mentioned that the Kid’s Ride bracelets will be available again this year. These bracelets offer unlimited rides for a reduced price during two sessions each day: from the time the gates open until 4 p.m. and from 4 - 10 p.m.

Gates open at 11 a.m. on Friday and at 10 a.m. on Saturday. The festival closes both days at 11 p.m.

Entertainment Chairman Ben-ton Wharton has announced the line-up of performers, includ-ing Friday evening’s headlin-ers Acoustic Syndicate and Sol Driven Train and Saturday’s The Lee Boys and The Dynamites, fea-

turing Charles Walker. The mu-sic cranks up in the early after-noon and also includes such notable bands as The Black Lil-lies, The Aaron Burdette Band a n d F l a n n e l

Church. Barbecue teams come from

all over the country each year to compete for more than $20,000 in titles, trophies and prizes. The most coveted prize, according to Britton, is the Bright’s Creek Governor’s Trophy, the symbol of the North Carolina State Champi-

onship, which is awarded to the top finishing North Carolina team.

Festivalgoers are encouraged to wander around “Hog Heaven” and see the cook teams in action. They may even pick up a hint or two about the art of slow cooking. Then they can head to the main field to chow down on award-win-ning barbecue – as well as grilled corn-on-the-cob, fresh-squeezed lemonade and other treats. The line-up of food vendors includes something for everyone’s taste, including vegetarians.

On Saturday, look for the sec-ond annual Classic Car show fea-turing carefully restored vintage cars and trucks, and there will be two “Hawg Runs to Fun” (motor-cycle poker runs), one originating in South Carolina – at the Harley Davidson store in Greenville – and the other in North Carolina – at Harley Davidson in Asheville.

Both runs will start around 10 a.m. and bikes will begin arriving at the festival around noon.

In recent years, the festival has made a concerted effort toward “going green” and reducing its en-vironmental footprint. The efforts of faithful volunteers and much hard work have been rewarded with an annual average saving of

13,000 pounds of waste diverted from landfill to recycling.

The Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival is produced by the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce. Proceeds from the festival help support cham-ber operations and the Carolina Foothills Chamber Foundation, which annually distributes grants to a variety of charitable and civic programs.

As always, the festival commit-

tee needs hundreds of volunteers (who work a four-hour shift and can get in free both days – not to mention free T-shirt, free bottle of water and free food voucher). Recruiting is still under way.

For more information on vol-unteering or any aspect of the festival, visit www.BlueRidgeB-BQFestival.com or call 828-859-RIBS.
