Aid organization in need of assistanceby Samantha Hurst

Red Cross volunteers grew accustomed to the color red de-cades ago.

They’ve seen it drip from the arms of blood donors. They’ve seen it engulf local homes.

But they’ve never seen the sight of it dripping from the Red Cross’ own coffers.

The Polk County Red Cross budget is bleeding.

“We’re hurt-ing; that’s the only way I can put i t ,” said board chairman Clay Ayers.

T h e P o l k County budget averages $95,000 each year, with $5,000 dedicated solely to the Disaster Action Team. Just six months into the budget year, Ayers said funds are

almost $20,000 under where they should be.

“We’re sup-posed to have enough rev-enue to support

a $10,000 disaster in our county without any funds from anywhere else,” he said. “And we don’t.”


“We’re hurting; that’s the only way I can put it.”

-- Polk Red Cross board chairman Clay Ayers

Polk High's Peoples to retire after 39 years in educationby Leah Justice

Polk County High School teacher Alan Peoples has an-nounced his retirement from edu-cation after 39 years of service.

His retirement is effective Dec. 31, so his last day in the classroom was Tuesday, Dec. 21.

Peoples plans to continue coaching track and field through this school year.

“I have had a great career in Polk County,” said Peoples in his retirement le t te r. “This faculty is the r e a s o n t h a t PCHS has its accolades and successes and is held in high esteem by many both inside and outside the county border. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this journey to help the youth of Polk County.”

Peoples has worn many hats through his teaching career, from teacher and coach to ath-letic director and principal. He began teaching and coaching in February, 1972 after graduating

with a B.S. in education from the University of Tennessee.

He obtained his master's in educational administration from the University of South Carolina in 1979 and continued his educa-tion through 1990.

Peoples first worked in educa-tion at Epsom High School in Henderson, N.C.,as a teacher, bas-ketball coach and athletic direc-

tor. He said one of his proudest moments was at Epsom when the school dedi-cated the year-book to him in the 1974-75 school year.

“ T h a t ’ s memorable,” he said.

Other accomplishments Peo-ples said he is proud of are receiving the teacher of the year award when he taught at Tryon Middle School.

“That’s the highest honor you can get in education,” he said.

Peoples was also nominated for teacher of the year five times while at Polk High.

Peoples said he is also proud

of the many athletes he has coached who went on to com-pete at the collegiate level. His first athlete to gain a scholarship was Robbie McFarland, who received a scholarship for track, and Peoples said he will never forget that.

He said about 30 athletes he coached went on to play or run in college, with four athletes going on to the college level last year.

Peoples said he is very proud of

his many students over the years.“99.9 percent of the kids who

ever worked and came through my class will be successful,” he said.

And recently, he said, he has taught students whose parents he also taught.

Peoples taught or was prin-cipal or assistant principal at numerous local schools through-out his career, including Stearns

Alan Peoples with students on the first day of the 2010 school year at Polk County High School. (photo by Leah Justice)

“I will miss it immensely. But it’s like everything else. One door closes and another opens.”

Elementary School, Mill Spring Elementary School, Polk County Isothermal Community College, Polk Central High School, Tryon Elementary School, Tryon Middle School, Tryon High School and Polk County High School.

Prior to coming to Polk County, he worked for Epsom High School, Louis-burg High School in Louisburg, N.C., and Sumter High School in Sumter, S.C.

He se rved as principal at Stearns, Mill Spring, Tryon Elementary, Tryon Middle and Tryon High Schools and was assistant principal at Polk Central High School.

Courses he taught through his career included language arts for several grades, numerous English courses, creative writing, journalism, public speaking, U.S. history, government, economics, biology, Spanish, physical sci-ence, psychology and physical education. He also managed the yearbook, newspaper and maga-zine staffs for schools.

Peoples retired as a Lt. Col. in 2000 from the U.S. Army Reserves after beginning as an ROTC cadet in 1969. While in the military, Peoples received the National Defense Service Medal with Oak Leaf, the Army Achievement Medal and the Army Commendation Medal

with Oak Leaf.His political career began

when he served as the Polk County Board of Commission-ers chairman from 1996 to 1998 and vice-chairman from 1999 to 2000. He is currently the Tryon mayor and has held that position since 2001.

Peoples’ coaching career began in 1974 as the head basketball coach at Epsom High School and athletic director. He began coaching track at Tryon High School in 1986. He was the state track director and the re-gional track director for 17 years, the state indoor track co-director for three years and the cross

country regional director for many years as well as coaching the junior Olympics track from 1989 to 1997. He was awarded the conference coach of the year for track in 1991, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2010.

“I will miss it immensely,” Peoples said this week. “But, it’s like everything else. One door closes and another opens.”

He said he and his wife, Har-riet, plan to do some traveling and they also have plans to restore their home in Tryon.

“The bittersweet part is that I love the kids,” Peoples said. “I do. Am I going to cry on Jan. 3? Maybe. But I’m still going to do some volunteer coaching this year.”

During the bad ice storm several years ago, the Red Cross sheltered up to 50 people. He said many local people and organiza-tions have been wonderful in pitching in during these situa-tions. But, he said, if Polk County were to face a large-scale natural disaster today, the Red Cross’ hands would be almost tied.

The Disaster Action Team

provides assistance in a variety of ways.

They provide water and Ga-torade for the sheriff’s office and fire departments when they are called out to disasters. They also respond to handfuls of fires each year with blankets and supplies for residents. Plus, they provide clothing, shelter and food to families after a fire.

can typically house someone for up to three days in a hotel, which costs about $50 a night. He said they also help to provide some prescription medicines when those are destroyed in a fire.

Just as a single fire can dev-astate a family’s bank account, it often can do so for the Red Cross. Ayers said volunteers have made up the difference in years past by hosting fish fries, barbecue plate sells and other fundraisers.

This year they lost money – many from their own pockets – on all of the fundraising events they attempted.

“People just don’t have the money to spend on a barbecue plate this year,” Ayers said. “It’s hurting us, too.”

This year they brought in $600 from the fish fry and $300 from the barbecue sale – events that typically clear between $1,500 to $2,000 each year.

What has placed the organiza-tion in such dire straits?

The economy, Ayers said. “Personally, I feel like I’ve

seen the economy hit Polk Coun-ty worse in the last six months than it has in the past five or six years,” Ayers said. “In years past we’d always be able to have one big fundraiser that would be able to bring in $6-8,000. We haven’t been able to bring anything like those numbers in all year.”

A rummage sale earlier in the year did bring in some funds.

Two years ago their book sale made more than $4,000 and then last year they made under $3,000.

A solicitation from the Asheville Regional Chapter went out at the beginning of December to homes throughout the area. Ayers said many people have misunderstood the letter, assuming that all the money donated would go to Asheville and not Polk County. Ayers said donations from local residents would actually filter back to the area. He said financials of each chapter under Asheville’s umbrella are simply organized there.

Most Red Cross chapters also receive at least one-fourth of their budget through the United Way. Ayers said Polk County gains nothing from United Way because there is not a United Way in Polk County.

They have received funds from the Polk County Commu-nity Foundation in the past.

“There will always be a Red Cross in Polk County. Will it be to the extent we have now? I can’t answer that, but if it were to change from what it is now you wouldn’t have the one-on-one response you have locally.”

The Polk County Red Cross was chartered in 1917 as the Tryon Red Cross. The chapter was renamed the Polk County Chapter in 1918.

Donations can be made to the Polk County Red Cross by mailing checks to P.O. Box 807, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

Kim, Rich Nelson open new art gallery in TryonSkyuka Fine Art is a pre-

mier art gallery owned by Kim Nelson and her husband, artist Richard Christian Nelson.

Skyuka Fine Art specializes in traditional styles of land-scape, still life and figurative painting. In addition to Rich Nelson, the gallery features artists who have reached a high level of success in their careers such as Richard Oversmith, Linda Cheek, Kelly Welch, and Anne and William Jameson.

Notable artists of the past from the collection of Tryon art dealer Nowell Guffey will also be on display. Often the

artists featured have significant relationships with the locale. The Nelsons have also got-ten to know many nationally known artists through Rich's career as a portrait and gallery artist, and they hope to bring many of these friends to Tryon for exhibitions and workshops. Eventually, they say, they would like to represent sculptors, fine art craftspeople, and all sorts of artists.

Along with original artwork, the gallery will have gift items

such as greeting cards and books featuring some of the artists. In addition to traditional shows and openings, Skyuka Fine

Art will host a r t - r e l a t e d events such as workshops, lectures, and performanc-

es. The Nelsons say they intend to grow with other local gal-leries and businesses to make Tryon a destination for art lov-ers by co-hosting events such as gallery strolls and combined openings. Their ultimate goal will be for art lovers to find the

gallery, its website, and the area to be a creative place where they can enjoy, discuss and purchase fantastic artwork.

For more information, check SkyukaFineArt.com.

An open house to celebrate the new gallery will be held Jan. 1 from 1-5 p.m. That's 1-1-11 at 1! It's free and all are invited.

Skyuka Fine Art is located at 133 North Trade Street in Tryon. Hours are 10-5 Tuesday through Saturday, and by ap-pointment anytime. Call Kim Nelson at 828-817-3783, or email her at [email protected] for more information.

Cardinals beat Whitmire 82-43by Joey Millwood

The Landrum men’s basket-ball team gave head coach Lyn Smith an early Christmas present last week.

The Cardinals gave Smith his 100th win in dominating fashion. Landrum walked away with an 82-43 win over Whit-mire. The Cardinals, 2-0 in region play after wins over Blacksburg and Whit-mire last week, dominated the game from start to finish.

The Cardinals got their early spark from Tyler Logan, Alex Bryant and Danny Bruce. Bruce and Bryant ate up rebounds and points in the paint in the early going.

The big difference for the Cardinal offense, however, was the sharp-shooting Mark Wilson. Wilson, the younger brother of former post player Alex Wilson, plays a little different game than his older brother.

The younger Wilson con-sistently opened up the floor, hitting four threes, allowing the Landrum guards to attack the basket.

“He’s a weapon,” Smith said.

The Cardinals let their foot off the gas in the third quarter, firing up Smith. Smith called a time out with 3:29 left in the quarter.

“It told them that they’re not getting after it,” he said.

The Cardinals came out ener-gized and turned on the heat with the press on defense. Landrum closed out the quarter on a 19-2 run.

One thing Smith said he was proud of was how the Cardinals attacked Whitmire’s zone de-fense.

“You have to get inside the zone,” he said. “They did a good job with that.”

Landrum will host the 10th Annual Battle of the Border Shoo-tout December 28, 29, and 30.

New promotional video coming to Landrum’s websiteby Leah Justice

The City of Landrum is cur-rently working on a video for its website centered on the city’s slogan, “There’s more to do in Landrum.”

Landrum City Council dis-cussed last week a video to be placed on the city’s website at www.cityoflandrum.com. The video will focus on the city's beauty and attractions and will be designed to draw more visi-tors.

City administrator Steve Wo-lochowicz said the video will

show a lot of illustrations of the town and the area, with cameos from residents.

The video, which will be ap-proximately three to five minutes long, will cost the city $2,500. The money will come from hospitality tax funds.

Synergy Point, the city’s website providers, are handling the video.

The video will be approxi-mately three to five minutes.

It is not known yet when the video will be complete to be placed on the website.

EmaiLiNg a picturE to thE tdb?

A few tips…• Lighter and more contrasting subjects and backgrounds will

print better than subjects and backgrounds with similar hues. When possible, keep the background clean and simple, not too cluttered.

• Focus on the people in your shots – zoom in on them so that their expressions can be seen. When possible, show people doing things rather than lined up facing the camera.

• High-quality (100 or 200 dpi) .jpg formats are preferred, be-tween 3 and 6 inches wide.

• When you email the photo, if at all possible, please include in your email the names of all the people in your photo, identi-fied from left to right. Photos without names are less likely to be published.

Thanks for your submissions… see you in the paper!

Letter to the Editor

A tip of the hat to TryonitesTo the Editor:

As we come to the close of an-other year in Tryon, I find much cause in our community to reflect on what the English poet Wil-liam Wordsworth calls “that best portion of a good man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.”

Life in the civic arena is some-times a challenge, especially when one wears many hats in a small community confronted

with change. However, I do find among our citizens in this small parcel of paradise an extraordi-nary generosity of spirit and an endearing giving of self.

To the unnamed individuals and organizations whose actions demonstrate these kindnesses in ways both private and public and by means both simple and profound, I/we thank you. Your numerous magnanimous gestures make our community better, and your examples inspire others to the same.

Thank you.— Crys Armbrust

All are welcome to join the Company Class of YouTheatre of Flat Rock Playhouse as they celebrate Epiphany with William Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night: A Masquerade.” Performances will be held: Friday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 8 at 2 and 7 p.m.

“Twelfth Night” is usually considered to be a reference to Epiphany, or the twelfth night of the Christmas celebration. In Williams Shakespeare’s day, this holiday was celebrated as a festival in which everything was turned upside down – much like the upside-down, chaotic world of the play. Considered one of his greatest comedies, “Twelfth Night” is about illusion, decep-tion, disguises, madness, and the extraordinary things that love will cause us to do – and to see.

YouTheatre Company Class are advanced theater arts stu-dents. They work on engaging projects throughout the year, go on theatre encounter trips throughout the southeast and

hone skills in all areas of theater arts including individual and group performances. Company classes include visits by award-winning professional theater and technical artist who share stories, instructions and advice.

Having studied “Twelfth Night” in its entirety during the fall semester, the company will present an hour-long treatment of the script in the Second Stage space of the rehearsal hall.

A donation for admission is suggested. These donations will help to offset costs for the com-pany’s trip to Atlanta in February. They will travel to watch perfor-mances of both old and new style theatre with a trip to see Romeo and Juliet at The New America Shakespeare Tavern and the world premiere of the new musical “Bring It On” at The Alliance.

Flat Rock Playhouse is located at 2661 Greenville Hwy. in Flat Rock, N.C. Performances will take place in the Second Stage rehearsal hall space.

Letter to the Editor

TDB should proofread carefullyTo the Editor:

Regarding the article printed Dec. 21 “Winter weather cata-lyst…,” a chimney has a flue, not a flew. The birds flew, and a dog has flews, but it doesn’t work

with chimneys.Also, electrical appliances

have cords, not chords (chords was incorrect ly used f ive times).

While these are errors that would not have been recognized by spellcheck, hopefully some careful proofreading will prevent any further embarrassment to the TDB.

One on One by D.G. Martin

No hurricanes for North Caro-lina so far this year.

But we know one storm that is coming to our state this fall. In fact we know the exact date—November 2.

The early political hurricane-watch reporters are predicting it could be a Category 5 storm, blowing away everything in its path.

Political experts are compar-ing the upcoming storm to the one in 1994. Republicans swept to victories in races across the state and took control of the state house of representatives for the first time in the modern era. They came within a seat or two of taking over the state sen-ate. And strong North Carolina congressmen like David Price lost their seats.

The 1994 storm was part of the “Contract with America-New Gingrich” national po-litical upheaval. Like this year’s approaching hurri-cane, the one in 1994 was fueled by widespread negative reactions to the first two years of a Demo-cratic president working with Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress.

North Carolina Republican leaders are drooling at the pros-pect of taking charge of both houses of the legislature and overseeing the post census re-districting of every congressional and state legislative seat.

Some North Carolina Demo-crats are walking around in a daze, shell-shocked at the turn in public opinion from the time of the great Democratic victories of two years ago.

But some other Democrats are not so down in the dumps. They say it is not all that bad. They concede that Democrats might lose some legislative seats at the state and federal levels, as often happens to the party of a presi-dent at the end of his first two years in office. They contend that Democrats have several things going for them that will make the hurricane of 2010 a lot less destructive for them than the one that hit them in 1994.

Here are some of their points:

*Democrats are better prepared today than in 1994, when the strength of the political storm took many of them by surprise. Un-

like 1994, they know they will have a strong Republican wind blowing, and they are better pre-pared to tack against it.

*The anti-incumbent (Tea Party) winds that will help Re-publicans across the country will not be blowing so strong in North Carolina. Here is why: The top of the Republican ticket will be incumbent U.S. Senator Richard Burr. Burr may be leading in his race, but he is not contributing to the kind of fervor that Republican

Boarding up the windowssenate candidates in other states have inspired.

*For many North Carolinians, politics is still local and personal. Across the state, many voters still know their own legislators. And, usually, they like her or him. Many of they can survive if they work to get their admirers to the polls.

*Although the momentum this year may be with the Repub-licans, the experience and organi-zational capacity that Democrats gained in 2008 will be an asset for them this year. Nobody is arguing that these assets will be as strong this year, but they will still make a positive difference.

*Finally, there is still time. Democrats think their representa-tives have done a pretty good job managing a challenging state fi-nancial crisis. They believe these next few weeks give them a good chance to make a persuasive case to middle-of-the-road North Car-olina voters that their approach is better for North Carolina than any alternatives their opponents have presented.

*Maybe there is a hurricane coming, Democrats concede, but, if it does, they say, they’ve got the windows boarded up and the emergency crews on alert, and it will take more than a Category 5 to blow them away.

What do you think? Can Democrats stand down the hur-ricane?

Hold on to your hats!

Practice safety tips when ringing in the New Year

As North Carolinians prepare for New Year’s Eve, experts urge consum-ers to consider safety as they ring in 2011 and bid farewell to 2010.

“Sparklers are a perfect addition to any New Year’s celebration,” says Tommy Glasgow, president of TNT® Fireworks East. TNT Fireworks is the largest distributor of consumer sparklers in the United States and has been in the consumer fireworks business for more than 50 years. “As more North Carolinians look for ways to have affordable, and memorable, celebrations at home, TNT encourages sparkler safety for a safe and festive New Year’s.”

Nationally, fireworks consumption increased 635 percent between 1976 and 2008 (29.0 million pounds versus 213.2 million pounds respectively), while fireworks-related injuries de-creased dramatically from 38.3 injuries to 3.3 injuries per 100,000 pounds of fireworks during that same time period, according to the most recent data available from the American Py-rotechnics Association. John Conkling, a nationally renowned fireworks expert and spokesman for the American Py-rotechnics Association, attributes the steep decline in injuries over the years

to the fireworks industry’s consumer safety and education initiatives during the last three decades.

Despite the decline in injuries, how-ever, Conkling says consumers should resolve to use only devices permitted by state law while adhering to safety warnings and instructions that appear on product packaging.

“For decades, sparklers have enhanced countless celebrations. To continue the downward trend in fireworks-related injuries, though, consumers must prioritize safety and have a general understanding of how these devices function,” Conkling says. “Following a few simple guidelines – such as only using sparklers outdoors in clear areas away from buildings and dry grass and always keeping a bucket of water on hand for emergencies – will help people stay safe.”

Here are a few sparkler safety tips to consider this New Year’s Eve:

• Once you’ve made your sparkler purchase, keep them in a safe place… out of the reach of children and pets.

• Young children should not light or handle sparklers.

• Use good common sense and al-ways read and follow all warnings and instructions that appear on a sparkler

item or its packaging.• Always keep a hose and a bucket

of water nearby in case of emergen-cies. Used sparklers should be soaked in a bucket of water prior to being discarded.

• Use sparklers outdoors, only in clear areas, away from houses, build-ings, fences, dry grass, and trees. Your sparkler display area should also be smooth, flat, level and swept clean of debris.

• Never attempt to fix or relight a sparkler – if it fails to light, do not relight it. Place it in a bucket of water and make sure it is fully soaked before discarding it.

• Animals are sometimes frightened by sparklers. To protect your “best friends,” keep them indoors – away from the loud noise – and secure.

• As with any purchase, check the credibility of the distributor to make sure their sparklers are reliable, legal and come from a licensed source.

• Do not smoke when handling any type of sparkler.

• Do not use sparklers while under the influence of alcohol.
