GOP finds temporary home on Mills St.

Anonymous donor helps project proceed

Plans for a new House of Flags museum building in down-town Columbus received a big boost recently with a $40,000

anonymous donation. The museum has been raising

funds to remodel the former Co-lumbus fire hall on Gibson Street, which most recently served as the county's maintenance buildig.

The House of Flags says the recent donation, combined with $70,000 donated previously from

nearly 300 people, service orga-nizations and businesses, will help the project move forward. The museum is currently located at the Green Creek Community Center, but has been seeking a move to Columbus for the past few years in order to have a

House of Flags gets $40k donation

by Leah Justice

After about eight months without a permanent place to meet, the Polk County Repub-lican Party has leased a building on Mills Street temporarily.

The GOP headquarters building roof collapsed last December following heavy snowfall and the building was condemned. The building was later torn down.

The Republican party has been holding meetings in dif-ferent places, mostly using the Polk County Courthouse.

Republican Chair Cheryl Ev-ery says the party has leased the building located at 206 Mills St. and will be there at least through this November’s election. Some businesses are interested in buying the former GOP lot, but it has not sold yet.

Every says they have options regarding building a new build-ing, but have to wait on the sale of the lot to proceed. (see photo of lot on page 4).

Columbus tables Watson's requestTown still considering reimbursement for flood damageby Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus ta-bled a request again last week to reimburse Watson’s Carpet and Appliances for costs incurred to clean up flood damage.

Watson’s owner Larry Hill has asked the town to help with over $9,000 in clean up costs from damage caused in the spring. Hill says the building has never had a problem since 1955 until the town did street work in 2005.

The town has discussed the request on a couple of occas-sions publicly and tabled the issue last Thursday until the town can speak with the N.C. Department of Transporta-tion (DOT) and its insurance provider.

The town’s insurance com-pany has said the damage was not caused by town infrastruc-ture, that the private property owner’s drain was not being cleaned out.

But Hill’s engineer says the damage was caused by the town. The sidewalk in front of the store is higher than the door, according to Hill's engineer.

The town is considering shav-ing off the sidewalk, but wants to get permission first from DOT, which did the work.

Meanwhile, Williamson says the museum is finalizing an agreement with a local con-trator to oversee the remodel-ing project.

Polk County Schools offi-cials plan on testing a computer phone service called a Voice Over IP (VoIP) through e-Polk PANGAEA if an agreement can be reached with current phone service Windstream to release the needed phone numbers.

According to Polk County Schools Technology Direc-tor Dave Scherping, the cost-cutting trial will start with a couple of phones in his office Sept. 20 and then spread to the bus garage and Early College if found to be effective.

“We’re looking for a more economical way to run our phone systems,” said Scherp-ing. “We are a very large phone user, and we think e-Polk and PANGAEA can provide a more economical way to run our phones as well as give us addi-tional features that are unavail-able to us right now.”

Those features include caller ID and call-forwarding to cell

Polk County Schools to test new phone system

phones and to other offices.“We’ve been using a tra-

ditional phone system and it works great – we have no issues with them,” said Scherping. “But we do have an extensive list of features that need to be added.”

If the trial is successful, the VoIP system would eventually be introduced throughout Polk County Schools.

But the first step is get-ting Windstream to release the numbers currently used by Polk County Schools, which Scher-ping said the company is not required to do under law.

“We’re a big customer for them and they’ve invested a lot in this area,” said Scherping of Windstream. “So, they’re not required to make that move and they’ve been unwilling to move them.”

Scherping said negotiations are ongoing to move the required numbers and lines for the VoIP by the Sept. 20 start date.

Found object, installation art opens TFAC’s Explore the Arts

Janet Orselli with one of her sculptures. (photo submitted)

Janet Orselli, found object artist and sculptor, opens the 2010-2011 Explore the Arts series at Tryon Fine Arts Cen-ter on Thursday, September 2. These informal events, held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on the first Thursday of the month, are planned to pique your curiosity and creativity and to explore diversity in the arts.

Diversity would describe Or-selli’s work. If you have saved objects in your house that you think you might use one day or if you have found something you think is appealing, but don’t know why, Orselli can help. Each piece tells a story the artist in you has to tell. Orselli plans an interactive imaginative evening for all ages. No artistic expertise is necessary.

Orselli’s installation work and found object sculptures have been exhibited in museums and galleries throughout the

United States. She received her M.F.A. degree from Clemson University in 2001. In 2005 she was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant and installed her largest, site-specific work, Encircling Spaces, in the Ro-tunda galleries at the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, S.C.

In 2007 Orselli had a solo exhibition at OK Harris Works of Art in New York City. She will have another show at OK Harris in September 2010. Janet lives near Columbus.

Each Explore the Arts event (8 in all) is open to all ages. Refreshments are served. The series is held in the Mahler Family Board Room at Tryon Fine Arts Center, located at 34 Melrose Avenue in Tryon.

Polk County Extension Center offers workshops on saving on energy bills

As thermometers drop and energy prices climb, local resi-dents can learn no- and low-cost ways to save on energy bills by attending the free educational workshop, “Saving on Your En-ergy Bills,” scheduled for Tues-day, September 14, at the Polk County Extension Center. Two workshop times are available, 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.

In addition to learning how to implement energy-saving mea-sures in their homes, participants will have the opportunity to sign up for home energy audits at a special workshop price. The standard cost of an energy audit is $500. The audit will be reduced to $100 and participants can have a qualified Home Energy Rater conduct an audit of their home and make energy saving recom-mendations on a personal level. A limited number of Home Energy

Audits will be available.Contact the Polk County Co-

operative Extension Service if you are interested in the home audit to see if you qualify and receive the paperwork before the workshop.

Through the cooperation of N.C. Cooperative Extension attendees will also receive an free energy kit. The N.C. Coop-erative Extension sponsored free workshop will be held at the Polk County Service Center.

Pre-registration is required as space is limited. Register by calling 828-894-8218. Require-ments for the homes receiving audits include: less than 2,000 square feet, one HVAC system, and homes must be five years or older. Only individuals attending the workshop will qualify for the reduced audit price.

Richard Henry Boehning, 90, died August 28, 2010 after a short illness. Surviving is his wife of 62 years, Ruth Jerkens Boehning. He was the father of Margaret Love Boehning of Wheeling, Ill., Barbara Chambers of Bar

Harbor, ME, and An-drew R. Boehning of Commack, NY. Seven grandchildren

and four great-grandchildren also survive.

Soon after graduation, he entered the Army Air Force and trained in the western U.S. to be a pilot. After a period of teaching basic pilot training, he volunteered for duty in the European theater where he flew C-47s, dropping supplies and paratroopers as the Allied of-fensive moved through Europe. After the war ended, he assisted in flying wounded military home to the U.S.

As a Reservist, Rich later participated in the Korean War as a pilot and maintenance en-gineering officer, achieving the rank of Captain.

Rich attended Long Island Agricultural and Technical Insti-tute to prepare for a career in the aircraft industry on Long Island, N.Y. He retired from the Grum-man Corporation in 1981 and moved with his family to Polk County, N.C.

Rich participated in local ac-tivities for almost 30 years, and he loved the area and its people.

A memorial service will be held Tuesday, August 31 at Co-lumbus United Methodist Church at 2:00 p.m.

Sheriff Hill offers safety tips for children going back to school

Sheriff Donald Hill of Polk County offers some safety tips for those youngsters who will be walking back and forth to school this year.

“Parents can teach their chil-dren the following safety tips which will inform the young-sters of the danger signs to watch for and avoid when walking between school and home,” Sheriff Hill said.

“Drivers should be cautious of children walking back and forth to school,” added the sheriff. “We can all learn from the safety tips below and abide by them to make Polk County safer for all.”

• While walking, remember to always travel with a friend. Two heads are better than one,

especially if there’s an emer-gency.

• A stranger is anyone you or your parents don’t know well.

• You or your friend must never take candy, money, medi-cine or anything else from a stranger.

• If a stranger in a car asks you questions, don’t get close to the car (you could get pulled in) - and never get in the car.

• Strangers can be very tricky - they can ask you to walk with them to “show” them something; they can offer to pay for your video game, or ask you to help them find a lost dog or cat. Don’t be fooled.

• Don’t tell anyone your name or address when you’re walking and don’t think that

because someone knows your name they know you - they may just be looking at your name printed on your lunch box, school bag or T-shirt.

• If you think you’re in any danger, yell and run to the nearest store or “safe house” or back to school.

• Always tell your parents or teacher if a stranger has ap-proached you.

“By taking the time to care-fully prepare your child on how to handle these situations, you can ensure your child’s safety whether they are on their way to school or home, playing on a playground or riding their bikes,” Sheriff Hill concludes.

Brevard’s “worst loss in team history” only lasted a week, thanks to a prolific scoring per-formance from host Polk County High School Friday night.

The Wolverines pounded Bre-vard 56-0, just one week after the Blue Devils began the season with a 48-0 home loss to Owen.

PCHS quarterback Andre Overholt accounted for five of Polk County’s six first-half touchdowns as the Wolverines jumped out to a 42-0 lead by intermission.

“Honestly, I was a little sur-prised,” said PCHS head coach Bruce Ollis after the lopsided victory against a team the Wol-verines met in the opening round of the state playoffs a year ago. “We got a shutout and that’s hard to do in high school football these days.

“I thought our line executed real well up front and we were able to run the ball, which is something we wanted to do and the big plays were there when we wanted to execute them.”

Overholt scored on runs of 2 and 6 yards in the first half and connected on touchdown passes of 73 yards to tight end Chandler Miller, 25 yards to Joel Booker and 65 yards to Kerry Littlejohn.

Any rust Overholt may have shown from a mostly inactive preseason due to an ankle injury was gone against Brevard (0-2). He threw for 182 yards on 6 of 7 passing.

“When you complete six of your seven pass attempts and half of those go for touchdowns, there isn’t much else you can say,” Ollis said.

Miller added a first-half inter-ception that he returned 43 yards for a touchdown to the first-half scoring juggernaut.

Overholt and most of PCHS starting unit sat out most of the second half

Booker, who rushed five times for 48 yards, added a 25-yard touchdown run in the third quar-ter, and running back Tyler Rid-ings added a 2-yard score in the fourth. Ridings finished with a team-high 75 yards.

Meanwhile, the PCHS defense held Brevard to 99 yards of total offense en route to the shutout.

ollis said he was happy to see his reserves get a lot of playing time with things well in hand in the second half.

“We got some time for our backups, so it was good to see them get some snaps on a Friday night in front of people,” said Ollis.

PCHS (2-0) travels to RS-Central Friday night.

after a convincing 36-9 win Friday night over Class 3a op-ponent travelers rest, a growing confidence within the Landrum High School football program overflowed.

“this isn’t like anything I’ve been a part of in my three years,” said junior quarterback Brandon Cannon, whose 301 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns – two rushing and two passing – was just a chorus in a largely dominating Cardinals perfor-mance. “Even the coaches were different on the sidelines. I think what we’ve got here is some-thing special. It’s something I haven’t had here before. You can tell the coaches are fired up about it, too – not just us. We’re all excited.”

after clinging to a 14-9 lead at the half, LHS exploded for 16 unanswered points in the final 1:08 of the third quarter.

Cole McDowell’s 47-yard touchdown reception from Can-non started the barrage and was followed by a safety with 50 seconds left in the quarter. Fol-lowing the free kick, LHS took over at the travelers rest 44 and McDowell rushed for 15 yards and then went the remaining 29 for a score to put the Cardinals ahead 30-9 with five seconds remaining in the third quarter.

McDowell turned in a career night with game highs in rush-ing yardage (146) and receiving yards (75), and he was quick to give credit to the offensive linemen.

“they’re the heart of this of-fense and I don’t get anywhere without them,” McDowell said. “So, my heart goes out to them. I’m thankful to have them.”

The Cardinals rolled up 475 yards of total offense, and after a shaky opening two quarters, the LHS defense shut out the Devil-dogs (0-2) in the second half.

travelers rest’s spread attack was held in check for most of the night, finishing with 205 yards of

total offense. Quarterback Barron Morgan was 9 of 23 passing for 108 yards and an interception.

“We’re real proud of our de-fensive effort,” said LHS head coach Russell Mahaffey. “I felt like we had 11 hats to the ball all night, so I’m real proud of what they did.”

Letter to the Editor

Gordin: Perspective pleaseTo the Editor:The following column was written by Dr. Stephen Gordin of Gowens-ville and published in the Aug. 25 edition of the The State.

A Hindu proverb tells of five blind men trying to describe an elephant. One feels the trunk and concludes that an elephant is a snake. One feels a leg and concludes it is a tree trunk. And so it goes, each man making generalizations about the whole based on his limited experience.

But the sum of the parts is, of course, a different animal. The story is about perspective, something that is sadly lacking in today’s political environment. We need to develop some, or else we risk losing our nation as we know it.

This is not hyperbole. After all, what is it that makes a country? In Europe, geography and ethnicity created natural boundaries, leading to their development from the vari-ous principalities; a shared history and common enemies helped forge the bonds.

Yet America possessed none of those things at the beginning. Instead, we were held together by a shared philosophy. The freedoms enshrined in our founding docu-ments have been the basis for what maintained us as a united federa-tion.

But how strong are those ties? Leading up to the Civil War, their agrarian economy and culture, aided by geography, slow travel and poor communications, had led Southerners to identify themselves as a separate country. In other

words, what had happened in Europe centuries earlier happened to some extent here. Obviously, there were many issues involved, but the feel-ing of a different national identity was a motivating factor for many Southerners.

That such could happen today seems inconceivable, with im-mediate communications and fast transportation. We should be closer now than ever, but in fact our ideas about what we should be about are tearing us apart.

We have become modern-day tribes, and our allegiance changes depending on what we do for a liv-ing, our socioeconomic class, our race, etc. Our political parties exploit our interests and fears for their own advantage, promoting a you’re-either-with-us-or against-us attitude. Such division creates polarization to the extremes. When extremism rules, the middle gives way, and a dangerous situation arises that threatens society’s existence.

These days we face innumerable, difficult challenges. There are no easy answers, only decisions that have consequences.

We hear the news about a tube of toothpaste killing a woman, about the possible side effect of a children’s vaccine, about the unemployed, the uninsured and oil-covered turtles. They produce powerful images and create fear or sympathy, but they tell half the story. If you don’t brush your teeth, you may lose them to tooth decay. Your child probably has a better chance of dying from a preventable disease than being injured by the vaccine. By raising taxes, creating new man-dates on businesses and ultimately raising the costs of hiring, we create an environment where the economy has a difficult time growing and add-

ing jobs. No drilling offshore? Then higher prices at the pump.

There are, in other words, conse-quences for action and inaction. But discussing a situation and pointing out the pros and cons of various actions confuses the narrative that interested parties oftentimes want to promote, which is based on the universal story of good versus evil. And such an approach creates divi-sion amongst us.

We should appreciate the con-sequences and reject the notion that any legislation will “fix” all of our problems. It might solve one problem while creating a host of new ones. Our media should be facilitators of national discussion on such matters; instead, they too often seem to have their own agenda. Besides, in-depth analysis takes time and doesn’t sell as well as blaring headlines.

However, our politicians, from our president on down, can and should tone down the rhetoric and realize that in approaching prob-lems, people of good faith may simply have a difference of opinion. That does not by itself make them “good” or “bad” people. Saying you want to listen is easy; actually doing so requires respect and consideration for the other side.

The alternative to compromise is that the forces tearing us apart be-come greater than the bonds holding us together, just as they did during the Civil War.

We are not merely a sum of our parts. Just as a trunk cannot walk by itself, so we need one another to create a sustainable society. The sooner we can open our eyes and see this simple fact, the closer we come to appreciating the enormous but fragile animal before us.

Smiths sign books during Tryon’s 125th birthday celebrations Sept. 4

Ford and Mara Smith hold up proof copies of their two new books. Copies will arrive in time for their two book signings on Saturday, August 4. (photo submitted)

As Tryon celebrates its 125th birthday, residents Mara and Ford Smith will be intro-ducing two new books.

On Saturday, September 4, the Smiths’ first booksigning will be held from 12 until 2 p.m. at The Book Shelf. This autograph party will be for the couple’s first novel, “En-dangered,” a suspense that has been 20 years in the making.

Their second booksigning will also include a winetast-ing. Held from 4 to 6 p.m. at La Bouteille, wines have been selected from the Smiths’ new “Winning Wines.” This 2010-2011 edition of “Winning Wines” has been updated and expanded to include 537 wines that cost $12 or less.

While living in the Tryon area, Mara and Ford Smith have written two retirement books, “The Retirement Sour-cebook” and “101 Secrets for a Great Retirement” available through McGraw-Hill, and an award-winning children’s book, “ABC All-American Riddles” for Peel Publica-tions.

Together the Smiths photo-

graphed for “America 24/7.” Eighteen of their images were published in “North Carolina 24/7.” With two other women photographers, Mara made a year-long record of the region. After a successful exhibition at the Upstairs Artspace, the Smiths printed more than 150 of her images in “Focus on the Foothills.”

During Tryon’s birthday

party, The Book Shelf will fea-ture other Tryon authors, too. The Book Shelf is located at 90 Pacolet Street, across from the post office.

La Bouteille, the wine and beer boutique located at 10 N Trade Street, will present its own craft beer, BottleTree, in addition to hundreds of other beers and wines.


Sunny View Elementary awarded Fresh Fruit & Vegetable grant

Fresh fruits and vegetables will be available to students at scheduled times as coordinated with the principal, teachers and child nutrition staff. The goal of the program is to make a wide variety of fresh fruits and veg-etables easily accessible to stu-dents so they will be able to eat and enjoy them more often.

The program also creates a healthier school environment. Eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily can improve overall health and prevent the risk of cancer. Ac-

Sunny View Elementary School has been selected to participate in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Fresh Fruit & Vegeta-ble Program for the 2010-2011 school year.

One hundred six elementary schools across North Carolina were selected to participate in the program which provides funds to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. These snacks will be offered to students (at no charge) throughout the school day.

cording to health experts, too few students consume enough fruits and vegetables. These foods contribute to better health because they are low in calories and fat, but are high in vitamins, minerals and fiber.

Sunny View staff says they hope to challenge parents to encourage their child or children to sample a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. By doing this, parents can help to instill healthy habits in their children at an early age.

Boy Scout Troup 150 of Tryon was invited by LaurelHurst resident Tom Riggs to provide a new American Flag raising ceremony at LaurelHurst in celebration of the Fourth of July. Riggs has been a life-time supporter of Boy Scouts of America. The Scout troop lowered the old flag and raised the new one. Shown above and below are troup members Hunter Davis, Robbie Rardin, R.J. Weathers, Daniel Weathers and troup leader Locelyn Davis and Tom Riggs. The troup and LaurelHurst residents observed the flag raising, saluted the flag with the Pledge of Allegiance and residents enjoyed patriotic music by Mark Levin. (photos submitted)
