Iconic pub in downtown Tryon closes doorsby Samantha Hurst

Pam Johnson drew her last beer from the taps at Elmos Pub & Grill in Tryon Sunday, June 3 as droves of patrons marked the closure of a Trade Street staple.

Its sad for me because this

place means so many things to so many people, Johnson said Friday, June 1 after making the initial announcement that the pub would close. But running a small business, its just hard any-more. Im rather overwhelmed by

all the messages and phone calls weve gotten. I knew Elmos was loved but I could never have real-ized how much.

line, including two taps for Mid-way Baptist Church and one tap each for Giardinis and Gallant Enterprises LLC.

Polk County commissioners approved in February a bid from Steppe Construction to construct the line for $592,000.

Whitson said contractors ran into rock near the high school, which was expected, but there was enough in the contingency fund to cover the costs. The scheduled completion date of the project will depend on how much rock is hit during construction, but so far the budget is on track, according to Whitson.

The 12-inch water line in-cludes the installation of 10 fire hydrants, and one of the last phases of the project will include the installation of a pump sta-tion near the high school. The water line construction began at the high school and will end at Wolverine Trail, connecting the

two systems.Polk commissioners and Co-

lumbus Town Council each ap-proved a water interconnect agreement earlier this year that details how the two entities will purchase water from each other. Polk County decided dur-ing joint meetings between the county, towns of Columbus and Tryon and City of Saluda to pay for the interconnect in order to have back-up water for all Polk County governments. Tryon is already connected to Columbus and Saluda.

The county/Columbus inter-connect will mean that all three towns and the countys well water system are connected.

Polk County is also discussing future water connections from its Green Creek Broad River Water Authority line to the rest of the county for a future county-wide water system.

Polk County owns Lake Adger for a future water source and is currently awaiting state approval of a reclassification of the Green

River watershed and is working toward gaining enough water customers by extending water

into the evening Sunday as a send off to staff and those who have patronized the bar over the years.

Founded in 1934, Elmos Pub & Grill was originally established as Pops Beer Garden by Pop Burnette.

Whitey Baron named it Whit-eys when he purchased it from Burnette. Then he sold the bar to Sam Summey in the 60s, at which time it became Sams Place and actually sat in the storefront next door to Elmos current location.

Summer sold the place in the 1970s to Horace Doc Smith but remained a regular.

I owned it for 12 years at its location next door theres no doubt it will be missed. Were here every day, Summey said.

The were Summey referred to includes himself and the four or five other guys he meets every day at 4 p.m. for a beer or two. Rat Bradley is one of those guys.

This is my office in the after-

noons, Bradley said. We meet every day to shoot the breeze and find out whats going on in town.

Elmoscloses(Continued from page 1)


These guys arent the only ones who have made a stop by Elmos a part of their daily or weekly routine

for many years. This place closing is going to

have a big effect on a lot of people, said regular Patricia Gossenreiter. People have shared a lot of laugh-ter, a lot of tears weve shared our lives in here.

These people stopped in after Doc Smith died and the bar came to be owned by Curt Barnette. They pulled up bar stools when Tim Ballew and Phillip Fat Packy Pack bought the place keeping the name Docs before selling it to Preston Kirby in 1985.

Their loyalty remained when the pub moved next door to its current location and became Prestons of Tryon.

Pam and her husband, Elliot, purchased the bar in 2004 from Tommy Southard. Pam had man-aged the bar for Southard for almost a decade. Later that year, Elliot was killed in an accident and the name of the bar changed to Elmos in his honor.

As most locals know, the bar has seen several owners, differ-ent names and experienced that small location change, but it has maintained a place in many locals hearts.

Janet Jackson has frequented the pub since 1979. At the time, Pam Johnson managed the bar and the two became good friends.

Its a hometown pub with people that we all know and have grown up with all our lives. People come in here and work out their problems, Jackson said. Out of everyones life experience, theres usually someone who has been through what you are going through and, without criticism or judgment, they help you sort it out.

Lots of things got sorted out over a cold beer and a burger at Elmos.

The family of regulars that take their seat at the bar or tables in the front window shoot the breeze about everything town politics, relationship issues, babies on the way, deaths in the family and even legal problems.

Sunday night they shared laugh-ter and tears as Elmos the place Jackson said they all felt com-pletely safe to be themselves sold its last round.

Johnson originally posted the announcement of Elmos closure on Facebook early in the morning on Friday, June 1.

This is very hard for me to say, but Elmos will close its doors after Sunday night. I would like to thank everyone who bought a beer, mixed drink and down to a burger through the years. I have been there 18 years and I thank all of you for all your support!

With Elmos closing and her son, Wesley, preparing to head off to the Navy in four weeks, John-son said she plans to enjoy time with him and then figure out her next step.

Progress continues on Tryon Streetscape projects Tryons Streetscape is under

way again, and many individu-als and groups have participated to make these downtown infra-structure upgrades possible. The phase-one construction project to reconfigure the intersection at the southern gateway into Tryon was completed recently by Trace and Company at New Market and South Trade Streets.

Landscaping of the area to Mark Byingtons plant-ing scheme has also been ac-complished by Thompsons Landscaping, with funding participation by Stuart Evans Art in Bloom Artscapes group, including the Tryon Fine Arts Center and several Tryon area garden clubs.

Project Manager Crys Arm-brust said, The present up-grades are part and parcel of the Tryon Streetscape Master Plan by Milone and MacB-room, which Tryon Downtown

Development As-sociation (TDDA) commissioned in 2001, and which acts as the guid-ing template for all architectural and infrastructure improvements in Tryons historic Central Business District (CBD). The then $96,000 Streetscape Master Plan was funded so le ly th rough generous tax-de-ductible donations to TDDA by local Tryon residents.

The complete master plan docu-m e n t m a y b e viewed on TDDAs website on the Design page at www.downtowntryon.org.

Future construction projects

beginning within the next sev-eral weeks include:

Sidewalks from the New Market construction to Bills Jewelry

McCown Street upgrades, redesignating McCown Street as a one-way street with north-bound traffic, will significantly increase parking with angled parking spaces and include another landscaped space.

General funding for all of the present projects has been accomplished by leveraging funds from many sources,

Armbrust said, including the Polk County Community Foun-dations Mary F. Kessler Fund, the Town of Tryon, the TDDA and the above-mentioned Art in Bloom Artscapes demon-strating how together we can accomplish much.

For more informat ion about how you can participate in upcoming phases of the Streetscape implementation, contact the Town of Tryon or TDDA.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongues roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

Did you know that dogs use their

tongues to sweat? Dogs do not have sweat glands like

humans, so they use their tongues and the pads of their feet to

release heat.

Did you know that it is true that if you stick your tongue to a cold, metal pole in the winter it will stick

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascars primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemurs natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Todays dollars, like most currencies, are called fiat money which means they are backed by peoples faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institutions namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge.... The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.
