V o l u n t e e r s f r o m t h e community finished repairing “Grandma” Ida Mae Wright’s porch (new porch, right) earlier this month. Wright lives on N. Trade Ave. in Landrum, and her house had been condemned because the porch was unsafe. The community rallied to fund and make the needed repairs. The entire porch was rebuilt, including the floor, roof, posts and a new front door. Below is the porch before it was rebuilt. See p. 8 for more photos. (photos submitted)

Tryon asks public to help guide town's future commercial developmentPublic hearing set for Nov. 16by Leah Justice

After hearing many comments regarding the recent construction of a Dollar General store on S. Trade St. near the IGA, Tryon officials have decided to ask the public for help in creating stan-dards for retail and commercial

development in the town. Tryon Town Council has

scheduled a public hearing on commercial development guide-lines for Nov. 16 at 7 p.m. at the Tryon Fire Department, located at 56 W. Howard St. in Tryon.

Specifically, council members are interested in hearing ideas and suggestions related to areas in the town’s central business and

general business districts along Trade Street, U.S. Highway 176, and N.C. Highway 108.

Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said holding a public hearing is a follow-up to con-versations and comments town officials have received recently about the Dollar General and

With a mission to serve the children of the world, the Tryon Kiwanis Club, with its former president Joe Picone, focused on the needs close to home and led a two-year fundraising ef-fort to refurbish a playground that had long been in need of

attention. Thanks to funding assistance

from the local Kiwanis Club, Polk County Community Foun-dation, the PTO and GameTime, more than $27,000 was raised to replace and rehabilitate an aging playground.

Numerous vol-unteers, including members of Tryon Kiwanis Club and Thermal Belt Habi-tat for Humanity as well as parents, teachers, Val Sim-oncic, Alan Sny-der, George Alley, Stacy Evans and Principal Walker Williams, pitched in to construct the new playground on a very cold day last December. These vo lun tee rs dug holes, tightened screws, pieced to-gether a fun new gym set and spread tons of mulch, do-nated by Henson’s.

The new playground gets an A+ at Tryon Elementary School, where children are enjoying recess more than ever before.

A plaque unveiling and dedi-cation ceremony for the new playground was held Thursday, Oct. 21. School children were there to share their enthusi-asm.

other downtown development issues. The same topic has also been the subject of numerous letters to the editor.

“The town has received and continues to receive numerous comments and suggestions con-cerning commercial development allowed by our current land use regulations,” Hembree said in a memo to council. “In order to directly address this issue, staff feels it may be beneficial for a public hearing concerning the topic to be held. This will allow the town to formally ‘hear’ the public, answer questions and direct staff, if applicable, to take specific actions.”

Hembree says receiving input and becoming a more business friendly town are specific goals of Tryon’s recently approved strategic plan.

The Dollar General was con-

structed a couple of months ago on part of the property occupied by the former Plenty of Fish res-taurant (the old Sunnydale’s) on S. Trade Street.

Tryon officials have said that although many residents ex-pressed concern regarding the looks of the store and its size, the store conforms to all Tryon’s current regulations. The planning board met with developers and requested some changes to the outdoor aesthetics of the build-ing, which were adhered to by developers.

Other residents have com-mented that the store will bring jobs and revenue to the town.

Council said they will publi-cize the public hearing and will also place a survey on the town’s website. The online survey will allow residents to leave com-ments and suggestions in case they are unable to attend the meeting or are not comfortable speaking in public.

Vaughn Creek greenway funds just $25k shy of goalGrants total $196k pending local matchby Leah Justice

The Tryon Parks Committee lacks only $25,000 in matching funds from the community be-fore it can begin work creating the Vaughn Creek greenway.

The parks committee, which has been working on the proj-ect since 2005, has obtained $196,000 in grants for the project, but $25,000 in match-ing funds is required.

Parks committee member John Vining discussed the project during a Tryon Town Council meeting last week.

The project has received a $95,000 grant from the N.C. Division of Water Resources, which can be used strictly for stream and trail improve-ments.

Another $101,000 grant from the Clean Water Manage-ment Trust Fund can be used toward the acquisition of prop-erty, which is approximately 19 acres. The sale price for the property is $110,500, but the project, including surveying and closing costs, is estimated at $126,000, Vining says.

An open house was re-cently held that offered tours of Vaughn Creek where the

greenway is planned. The ultimate goal of the

parks committee is to connect three town-owned properties with a pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian trail. The trail would expand from Ziglar Field, to Lanier Park to Woodland Park. The trail would include easy access to the railroad, and there is an existing trail bed. The total system would be about two miles of greenway.

The 19-acre property the parks committee hopes to acquire has been owned by the same family for the past 40 years, which has been left undisturbed and natural. The Smith family has been coop-erating with the town and has expressed its desire for the land to be made into a greenway, according to Vining.

Anyone who would like to help generate support for the project or who can help financially is asked to con-tact one of the Tryon Parks Committee members: Mark Byinton, Hugh Hursey, Ted Hyder, Rita Landrum, Virginia Lisella, Roy Miller, Gretchen Morris, Callie Smith, Viola Suber, John Vining and Wim Woody.

Town staff members can also be contacted at (828) 859-6655.

Hefner, Cards hold off Wildcats in Blacksburg

Dramatic win sets up region showdown with Christ Churchby Joey Millwood

the Landrum football team found itself between a rock and a hard place on Friday night in Blacks-burg. the Cardinals have shown all season that their high-powered offensive attack is for real, but with 30 seconds left to go in a tough region matchup with Blacksburg, it was defense that would decide their fate.

the Cardinals (6-2, 4-0) lined up to punt with a little over a minute to go in the fourth quarter with a 25-22 lead. a high snap got passed Cardinal punter stephen Doar and he was tackled on the 12 yard line. the Cardinal defense forced a fourth down on the 6 yard line and with the

game on the line the Wildcats lined up for their final play.

the Blacksburg quarterback rolled out and hit star runningback in the flat with a short pass and David Hefner nipped the play in the bud, ending the Wildcats’ hopes for victory.

“It got real exciting right there at the end,” Landrum coach russell Mahaffey said. “David Hefner came up and took that play away.”

the game wasn’t all defense. the powerful ground game that Cardinal fans have become accustomed to all season was in full effect on the gridiron as well.

star quarterback Brandon Can-non rushed for 155 yards on just 21 carries and found the endzone twice with his feet. He also had 47 yards through the air, including a 14-yard touchdown pass to tyler Logan. Cannon and tailback Cole McDow-ell proved once again that they are a

dangerous backfield tandem.“My hat goes off to our lines,”

Mahaffey said. “our defensive and offensive line played a great game.”

the win now sets up a showdown between the Cardinals and rival Christ Church next week with the

region Championship on the line. the game will be at Landrum.

LHs fans are asked to wear black to the game. Free white LHs towels will be passed out (while supplies last), or you can bring your own white towel to wave.

Polk Wolverines dominate Thomas Jefferson 90-17Nine different Wolverines score en route to victoryby Joey Millwood

I t ’s r a re that you see total domi-n a t i o n o n the gridiron at any level, but on Friday night the polk County foot-ball team was a machine.

the Wol-verines (8-1) jumped all over thomas Jef-ferson in the first quarter and never stopped en route to a 90-17 victory.

Nine different Wolverines

found the endzone. star quar-terback andre overholt led the charge with a systematic attack through the air. overholt was 8-for-10 through the air with five touchdowns. He also had three

carries for 40 yards.

In the after-math, the Wol-verines are be-ing criticized for the score, which head coach Bruce ollis isn’t buy-ing, and the numbers back him up.

the Wolverines only ran 20 plays in the first half and found themselves with a 42-0 lead after

“It certainly was not our goal to score 90 points against Thomas Jefferson. I feel as if we are getting undue criticism for the score.”

-- Polk head coach Bruce Ollis

Lady Wolverines advance to next round of volleyball playoffs

just one quarter. add in the fact that thomas Jefferson threw the ball 52 times, which extended the clock, and the Wolverines could reasonably put up that many points. thomas Jefferson had given up 73 points the week before.

“It certainly was not our goal to score 90 points against thomas Jefferson,” ollis said. “I feel as if we are getting undue criticism for the score.”

the Wolverines also pulled their starters after the half, in which they led 70-0. ollis said that his second and third string kids played hard, which is under-

standable due to the limited op-portunities they sometime have to play.

other Wolverines finding the endzone on Friday night were Kerry Littlejohn, Cody orrick, Jay sutton and reese schlabach. Littlejohn rushed for three touchdowns.

on the receiving end of passing touchdowns were rooster ross, alec philpott, Joel Booker, tyler ridings and ryan thomas.

the Wolverines will now fo-cus their attention to owen this Friday night. the Wolverines host owen on senior Night with conference implications on the line. polk, owen and Mountain Heritage are all tied for the lead in the conference right now.

by Jordan DeVere

on saturday, the Lady Wolverines vol-leyball team hosted Forbush in an intense playoff matchup. the Wolverines were able to stave off several runs by Forbush to win in four games and advance to the next round.

the first game was total domination by the Wolverines as they broke out to an early lead and never looked back. Brit-tany phipps (12) and Kai-ley russell (2) really made it easy as they both had several unstoppable spikes to give polk the win 25-17, even though Forbush made a strong push toward the end of the game.

the second game went just as well as the first for the Wol-verines as the entire team showed great intensity and awareness. sarah angier (13) scored several key points for the Wolverines, who went on to win 25-16.

In the third game, Forbush reversed the previous two games, coming out with renewed energy and focus. they jumped out to a commanding lead in the early

going and never looked back, winning 25-18.

the fourth game was extreme-ly intense, going back and forth all the way to the very end. the polk team gave its all and made a comeback at the end to win a very close game 26-24.

Next up for the Wolverines is North Henderson at North Hen-derson today.

Letter to the EditorA true Southern gentlemanTo the Editor:

I am not a politician. In fact, I don’t even like many politicians but believe me the few that I do like are people like Donald Hill and Charlene Owens.

Simply because the first time you meet them you see the true person-honest, open, friendly, down to earth people. No put on about them. They have done what they said they would do- helped in ways beyond their job descriptions. Why? Because they care about all the people of Polk County. Not the money. Not the chance for getting a special favor done. Simply because they care about all the people and about making Polk County a wonderful place for all of us to be proud of and to raise our children and our childrens’ children. Donald Hill is a true Southern gentleman. He walks and talks softly, but he means what he says. I believe he will make one of our best sher-iff’s ever.

Kids @ FENCE Fall Festival to feature unique maze

Kids enjoying an activity during a Project fENCE program. (photo submitted)

On Sunday, October 31, FENCE will host its annual Kids @ FENCE Fall Festival from 1 to 5 p.m. Free family events at FENCE are made possible by a grant from the Kirby Fund at the Polk County Commu-nity Foundation.

One of the ways in which FENCE fulfills its mission is through its pri-mary community outreach program, Project FENCE (Friends Enjoying Nature Chemistry and the Environ-ment). During 2009-2010, 9,900 students have participated or are enrolled to attend at least one of our education programs.

Each program offered is a two part series. The first section brings FENCE to the classroom. Project FENCE’s Education Coordina-tor arrives at the classroom with education boxes to provide an hour of curriculum based lessons in one aspect of the sciences.

The second part of each lesson is held at FENCE. Lessons shared in the classroom are brought to life on the property through hikes on the

trails, around the 2½ acre pond and hands-on sessions in their nature classrooms.

One of these outdoor classrooms is the newly created maze that was set into seven and a half acres of native grasses on the 394 acres of FENCE.

What are native or warm sea-son grasses? Native grasses were here when the first pioneers came into the southeast. They consisted of grasses such as big bluestem, Indiangrass, little bluestem, and switchgrass – all of which can be found at FENCE along with over 7,000 wildflowers mixed in. These bunch grasses grow in clumps and provide excellent habitat for nesting and cover. They are also of high nutritive value.

In a collaborative effort with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, this project was undertaken to establish native grasses at FENCE for the main purpose of improving

wildlife habitat such as Bobwhite quail, songbirds, rabbits and deer. The secondary purpose was to use the area as a demonstration and for environmental education. Now in its sixth year, the native grasses have reached a height of over 3 feet

tall – so come see if you can find your way through the maze!

Letter to the EditorSeason to voteTo the Editor:

T’was the night before elec-tions

And all through the townTempers were flaringEmotions all up and down.I, in my robeWith a cat in my lapHad cut off the TVtired of political clap-trap.When all of a suddenThere arose such a noiseI peered out my windowSaw Obama and his boys.They had come for my walletThey wanted my payTo give to the othersWho had not worked a day!He snatched up my moneyAnd quick as a winkJumped back on his bandwagonAs I gagged from the stinkHe then rallied his henchmenWho were pulling his cartI could tell they were outTo tear my country apart!‘On Fannie, on Freddie,On Biden and Ayers!On Acorn, On Pelosi’He screamed at the pairs!They took off for his causeAnd as they flew out of sightI heard him laugh at the nationWho wouldn’t stand up and

fight.So I leave you to thinkOn this one final noteIf you don’t want socialismGet out and vote.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGThe public shall hereby take notice

that on Thursday, September 16, at 7:00pm, the Columbus Town Council will conduct a public hearing at the Columbus Town Hall, located at 95 Walker Street, Columbus, NC. The Town Council will consider Zoning Map Amendment ZMA-01-10. The proposed rezoning is for a 0.90 acre portion at the easternmost corner of property located at 94 White Drive. The proposal would change the zoning from R-2 zoning to Highway-Commercial (H-C) zoning. The remain-ing portion of the property is currently zoned H-C and would remain that way. The proposed rezoning is to allow the property to be used in compliance with the remainder of the property, including areas that were combined in a previous subdivision, for the purposes of an outreach ministry or non-profit medical facility.

All interested parties are invited to attend the September 16th meet-ing and will be given the opportunity to be heard. For further information regarding this public hearing, please contact the Town Manager, Jonathan Kanipe at (828) 894-8236. Notice is hereby given in accordance with NCGS 160A-364.

Fiber arts exhibition entry fees due October 29The Arts Council of Hen-

derson County announces that the exhibition Fiber Arts, which runs November 5 through 26 in the D. Samuel Neill Gal-lery at the Arts Council, 538 North Main Street, 2nd floor in downtown Hendersonville, will be the final art exhibition in its current facility.

The opening reception and awards ceremony will be Fri-day, November 5 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. The exhibition and reception are free and open to the public. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday, from 1 to 5 p.m., and Saturdays, from 1 to 4 p.m. The gallery is open additional days and times by appointment.

Fiber Arts is open to lo-cal and regional artists and craftspeople, and there is a non-refundable entry fee per piece. The fee for the first en-try is waived for Arts Council members, who are also eligible for discounted fees on all subse-quent entries. Artists may enter up to three pieces of work in any category. Art, applications, entry fees and optional artist statements are due October 28 and 29.

The categories are Wearable, 2-Dimensional and 3-Dimen-sional, and are defined as:

Wearable – Original design garments, scarves, shawls, purses, jewelry, liturgical, etc.

2-Dimensional – Original design weavings, rugs, quilts, and other 2-D work. 2-D art

may be textured or have some dimensionality as long as it de-signed to be hung on a wall or laid flat on a bed or floor.

3-Dimensional – Origi-nal design basketry, dolls, sculpture and other 3-D work designed to be displayed as free-standing art not requiring support from a wall or similar vertical surface.

Prizes will be awarded for Best of Show ($200), first place in each of the three categories ($100 each), and second place in each category ($50 each).

Artists and craftspeople can receive a copy of the prospec-tus by visiting the arts council website at www.acofhc.org or by contacting the arts council at 828-693-8504 or [email protected].

Fiber Arts is sponsored in part by HomeTrust Bank, Mi-chaelian Home, and the Times-News.

The Arts Council’s final exhibition of 2010, “Through a Lens: Carolina Images,” will be presented at First Citizens Bank, 539 North Main Street in downtown Hendersonville.

The Arts Council will be vacating its current site on the 2nd floor of the Skyland Hotel Building in December 2010, moving its offices to the Community Foundation of Henderson County’s suite at 401 North Main Street. Its two largest and most popular an-nual exhibitions will also have new homes in 2011: “Mentors

and Students,” which includes exhibitions of elementary and secondary students, and their art teachers, will be presented at First Citizens Bank in Spring 2011, and “Bring Us Your Best VIII” will be presented at Blue Ridge Community College in late summer/early fall 2011.

“We’re excited about pre-senting our exhibitions out in the community,” said Doug Jarvis, board president of the Arts Council. “This new direc-tion will allow us to demon-strate to the public how the arts impact Henderson County’s children and youth, and our quality of life.”

Also slated for 2011, The Arts Council of Henderson County will curate a show of Henderson County’s finest art-ists that will be hosted by the Toe River Arts Council at its Burnsville Gallery, April 22 through May 14.

The Arts Council of Hen-derson County is a community organization that promotes, ad-vocates for and nurtures the arts in Henderson County and western North Carolina.

The Arts Council is sup-ported in part by the North Carolina Arts Council, the State of North Carolina, several funds administered by the Commu-nity Foundation of Henderson County, Henderson County government, and the Henderson County Travel and Tourism Bureau.
