Polk approves $144K bid for Peniel Road water lineLine to bring water to proposed Green Creek restaurantby Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners awarded a $144,120 contract bid to Clark Ledbetter Grading last week to extend the county's Green Creek water line to the Peniel Road intersec-tion along Hwy. 9. The water line will

supply water to a proposed restaurant near the Hwy. 9 intersection in Green Creek.

Jason Schlabach approached the county last year requesting water service for the restaurant he is propos-ing to open. Commissioners decided to grant the request and extend the line to the Peniel Road intersection off Hwy. 9 in Green Creek. Because


by Barbara TillyToday the Tryon Daily Bulle-

tin celebrates its 83rd birthday – this is the first issue of the paper’s 84th year.

Our approach to celebrating our anniversary this year was inspired by some historical arti-facts still in the Bulletin offices today – an old wooden rack of Linotype photo and type blocks in the hallway outside the edito-rial offices.

Some of the people in the photo blocks are identified, but many are not. Perhaps if we published images of these blocks, we thought, readers might be able to identify some of the unknown people.

A few of those images are presented with this article; oth-ers will be published in the next couple of weeks, along with stories about how the Bulletin has been produced over the years. The images will also be available

• Water line(Continued from page 1)

the restaurant and other possible development resulting from the water line extension would create jobs, the N.C. Rural Economic Development Center awarded Polk a $30,750 grant for the water line. The county plans to fund the remainder of the extension partly from budgeted funds for water line extensions and partly from the county’s fund balance.

Commissioners met Jan. 24 with county engineer Dave Odom regarding the bids. The county received 12 total bids for the project, ranging from $144,120 to $223,061. Odom had projected the cost of the extension to be approximately $180,000.

Odom told commissioners last week that the restaurant project’s sewage system, which will cost approximately $250,000, is com-plicated because the restaurant is proposed at 120 seats and a shopping center is also planned for the property. The project was supposed to receive a permit last June, but it has been delayed be-

cause of its size and complexity. Larger systems have to be permit-ted through the state.

Odom said the state requires an additional permit that will cost another $1,500. Commissioners agreed to pay that $1,500 in an effort to speed up the permitting process. They expressed concern over the length of time the project is taking, saying the grant has time constraints. Odom said the grant most likely will require that jobs be created in a year.

Commissioners expressed concern over the state requiring a second permit for the project.

“We talk about wanting jobs and we want to help people and here we have a guy who wants to open a 120-seat restaurant and he can’t get past go,” said commis-sioner Cindy Walker.

Odom said there’s no question the permit will be approved. He added that pipe pricing recently escalated and the low bid pricing will be locked in through the end of January. If commissioners wait longer than that to approve the bid, the price of the project could increase, Odom said.

859-9151Tryon Daily Bulletin

Brief Bulletin historyEditor’s note: The following

was assembled from articles in the Bulletin’s 70th and 75th an-niversary special editions.

In early 1928, Seth Vining Sr. (Pop) was working in a job shop he had set up while fore-man of the weekly paper, The Polk County News (founded in 1898). According to his son, Seth Vining Jr., Pop “found time hang-ing heavy on his hands,” so he printed up a four-page paper and handed it out on the street, free. The Tryon Daily Bulletin was born. After the first six months, the paper cost 1¢.

The original paper was 5½ by 8½ inches (“Readers Digest” size) – thus the slogan “The world’s smallest daily newspa-per.”

The Bulletin was published six days a week at that time, operat-ing from offices under the A&P Tea Co., now Owen’s Pharmacy, on Maple Street in Tryon.

The first advertiser in the first issue was Carter P. Brown, who placed a month’s order for an ad reading simply, “PINE CREST INN.” The cost was 30¢ an inch, 25¢ an inch for repeat ads.

In the 10th anniversary issue of the Bulletin, an article said the

editor ran out of paper stock sev-eral times during the Depresion years and printed the Bulletin on school notebook paper with holes and lines – twice on wrap-ping paper.

In June 1934, the Bulletin was consolidated with The Polk County News.

The Arledge family history is intertwined with the Bulle-tin’s. Elbert Hubbard, father of Hub Arledge, current owner of Arledge Printers in Tryon, joined the Bulletin staff in 1930.

The Bulletin moved to its current building in 1935, sharing space with Hester Real Estate, a print job shop and assorted other businesses.

Hubbard eventually bought the print shop, moving it to the current Arledge Printers’ loca-tion when the newspaper and job shop’s shared space got too crowded.

Hub’s uncle, Quinton, worked for Pop as a printer beginning in the 1940s.

“It was so crowded you didn’t have room to cuss a cat without getting hair in your mouth,” remembers Quinton Arledge, who worked for Pop Vining as a printer beginning in the 1940s.

In the 1930s and 40s, the newspaper occupied the rear sec-

One of the photos in the Linotype rack at the Bulletin shows Morris, the Tryon Horse. The year is unknown, but based on the cars in the background, the photo was probably taken in the early 1960s.

tion of its current building, which was enlarged after 1918. Later, the newspaper expanded into other spaces in the building.

The Bulletin was published six times a week until World War II, when supplies and personnel became scarce.

The circulation of the Bulletin more than doubled during the war years, according to employee Garland Goodwin, who still writes a column for the Bulletin today. Subscriptions were entered for the men and women away from home.

Goodwin came in every after-noon after school to single-wrap and bundle the little papers for mailing to places all over the country and overseas.

In the Bulletin’s 70th anni-versary special edition, John A. (Jack) Stephenson recalled daily life in what is now the first floor of the Bulletin office when he bought the Hester-Richardson Insurance business in the late 1950s.

It was unbearably hot, Ste-phenson said, and the noise from the Linotype machine was unbe-lievable: thunk, click, click, click, drrrr, thunk, all day long.

Stephenson had the middle section of the main floor, where Wanda Cash works now, and Waverly Hester sat more or less where Mike Ed-wards’ sales of-fice is currently located.

T h e b a n k vault is still in Edwards’ of-fice. According to Stephenson, M r . H e s t e r would write out insurance poli-cies by hand, then toss the copies into the vault, not moving from his desk. The representatives from the com-panies had to go into the vault to find their policies on their monthly visits, he added.

It was so hot in there that Ste-phenson’s father bought them an

air-conditioner, an early window unit. “We were one of the first air-conditioned offices in Tryon,” Stephenson said.

“I’d get in pretty darned early, but Seth and Gladys [Vining] were always here before me, and they’d still be here when I left,

and I thought I was putting in a pretty long day,” Stephen-son said.

Se th Vin -ing Jr. began to work fo r the Bulletin as an elementary school student, w r i t i n g a d -dresses by hand on blank paper and then deliv-

ering papers on his bicycle.After college, military service

and working as a file clerk in the House of Representatives in Washington, D.C., where he met his wife, Marjorie “Bos” Vining, Seth Jr. returned to Tryon and joined the Bulletin. He did every-

thing at the paper from sweeping floors to selling ads and covering sports.

On Dec. 31, 1975, Pop Vining retired. Seth Jr. and Bos took over the daily operation of the paper.

Seth Jr. followed in his fa-ther’s footsteps, literally, going from store to store selling ads and asking about news, covering Tryon, Landrum and Columbus.

In terms of policy, the Vinings tried to “keep the paper as neutral as possible,” Seth Jr. said. “We didn’t editorialize,” he continued, recalling only one instance when the paper took a stand, in defense of a high school football coach.

“It was a great crew,” the Vinings said in an interview in the Bulletin’s 75th anniversary special edition.

In January 1987, Pop Vining died at the age of 86. Much was lost with his death, Seth Jr. said.

“Dad had so much stuff in his head. When he died it all went with him.”

In November 1989, Seth Jr.

retired, selling the newspaper to Jeff and Helen Byrd. He died on Oct. 20, 2008. His wife, Bos, still lives in Tryon.

Jeff Byrd updated the paper’s facilities. The basement of the building was renovated in 1993 and a 20-year-old, yet “modern” web press was installed to print the newspaper.

Since then, the digital world has changed the production of the paper greatly.

The darkroom was last used in late 2001, and most articles and photos are now received by e-mail and prepared for print on computers.

In June 2008, film processing and developing equipment was installed, which marked the end of the manual paste-up process used for decades to create the flats for printing the daily paper.

As technology continues to change, the Bulletin will adapt, too. For example, a few years ago, the paper introduced a web-site (www.tryondailybulletin.com); an updated version was unveiled on Jan. 20.

In September of 2010, the Bulletin entered another new phase when the Byrds sold the newspaper to Tryon Newsme-

dia LLC, affiliated with Boone Newspapers, Inc. of Tuscaloosa, Ala. Betty Ramsey is the new publisher.

Through all these changes, however, the community focus of the newspaper has remained. Area residents still drop by with hand-written letters, news items and oc-casional photos of an outstanding vegetable from their gardens – and the Bulletin still publishes them.

Carolina Medical Center to close March 1; event site River Ministries unveils new website

Carolina Medical Multi-Care Center in Columbus will stop seeing patients on March 1, according to WLOS.com.

A statement from the center, which is headed by Dr. Arthur Robbins, said the closure is a voluntary decision and the facil-ity is not being shut down by any state or federal authority.

***The River Ministries has

unveiled a new website, lo-cated at www.theriverministries.com.

The facility, located on the Green River, is not well known even in Polk County, according to executive director Dawn Jor-dan. Jordan said their new web-site is going to change that.

The River Ministries is a non-profit organization that offers a facility and services to commu-

nity, educational and religious organizations. It was begun in 2007 as a way to allow religious groups such as ministry groups,

youth groups, the Gideons and others a place to meet, train, and disciple without it being cost prohibitive.

The organi-zation’s non-profit status al-lows it to serve e d u c a t i o n a l groups such as school/home-school functions and community organizations such as Hospice and volunteer fire departments, as well as religious organiza-tions.

The River Ministries is locat-

the river ministries family

ed at 325 Sycamore Lane, just off Coxe Road. Dawn Jordan may

be reached at 704-692-4 3 5 8 o r v ia emai l : [email protected]

The website was developed by Turner HD Media (www.turnerhdmedia.com; 828-395-1107), located at the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Cen-ter in the former Mill Spring School.

Polk Extension Center to offer Master Gardener classesMaster Gardener volunteers

are individuals with an interest in both gardening and volunteer service. If you want to learn more about growing plants in the foothills, are willing to at-tend training one day a week for 12 weeks, and have the desire and time to commit 40 hours of volunteer service, this program may be for you.

This spring the Polk County Center of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service will offer its 13th Master Gar-dener class. Master Gardeners will get training on topics such as lawn care, tree and shrub

identification and care and how to produce quality fruits and vegetables. The individuals involved must also possess an interest in sharing their garden-ing knowledge with others.

You do not have to be an experienced gardener to partici-pate. An application process will be used to help choose the local Master Gardener volunteers. If selected, you will attend special Master Gardener classes taught and coordinated by John Vining of the Polk County Extension Center. This year’s class will have room for 12 participants and will meet on Thursdays.

A fee is charged for the program to offset the cost of a large Master Gardener manual. This manual is packed full of horticultural information and becomes the personal property of each Master Gardener.

Program participants will receive a minimum of 40 hours of instruction on all aspects of gardening. In addition, a few special field trips will be planned to better inform the future extension volunteers.

After the training is finished, graduates of the program are expected to volunteer at least 40 hours of work back to the

local extension horticulture programs. This can be done in a variety of ways from answer-ing garden questions by phone, to working with community garden projects during normal business hours.

Classes will be scheduled for each Thursday and are ex-pected to begin in mid-March. The deadline for applications is Friday, Feb. 18 at 5 p.m.

To receive an application or to learn more about the training dates, come by or call the Polk County Extension Center at 828-894-8218.

St. Luke’s announces Annual Ache Around the Lake Design ContestAche Around the Lake event

organizers announced the 2011 Ache Around the Lake Design Competition. This design contest is free and open to artists of all ages and levels of expertise.

Ache Around the Lake is a USATF-certified 8K loop around Lake Lanier and the Ouch is a shorter two-mile fun run. Oth-ers choose to support the event by dining at the historic Lake Lanier Tea House for brunch, enjoying foods along with views of the lake as the runners and walkers make their way to the finish line.

The design entry that most clearly illustrates the fun, the challenge and the scenic beauty of this event will be selected by a panel of judges. The winner will receive recognition, publicity, an art showing at the hospital, one complimentary race entry, two complimentary race morning brunch tickets, two T-shirts and

two posters.The winning design will be

reproduced on a minimum of 200 race T-shirts, as well as on all posters, brochures and printed marketing materials. The design will be featured on the race web-site along with an artist profile.

The original artwork will be displayed in the reception area of St. Luke’s Hospital from April 1, 2011 until the race date of Satur-day, Sept. 24, 2011. Artwork will be featured at the race morning brunch at the Lake Lanier Tea House.

The specifications for the de-sign entry are as follows:

1. All media will be accepted (including graphic art).

2. Colors must be limited to three as printing will be a three-color process.

3. Overall size should not exceed 36 inches x 36 inches, however, 20 inches x 30 inches is ideal. Width should be smaller

than length (portrait orienta-tion).

4. The artist/designer must include the following in the design:

a. 6th Annual Ache Around the Lake 8K;

b. The Ouch;c. Lake Lanier, Tryon, NC;d. September 24, 2011Submissions are due by 5

p.m. Tuesday, Mar. 1, 2011 at the St. Luke’s Hospital Founda-tion office.

Artists/designers may hand-deliver to the office or send via U.S. Mail, UPS or other carrier to: St. Luke’s Hospital Founda-tion, Attn: Race Committee, 101 Hospital Drive, Columbus, N.C. 28782.

The winner will be contacted by telephone by April 1, 2011.

Founded in 2006 by Lake Lanier residents Katie Malone and Scarlette Tapp, this once-grassroots charity race has grown

exponentially since teaming up with the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation to raise funds for the hospital.

Polk County Middle School students celebrate life of Martin Luther King Jr.

Students at Polk County Middle School took advantage of being in school on the Mar-tin Luther King Jr. holiday by celebrating his life. Students in Mrs. Scherping’s sixth-grade language arts class celebrated by watching documentary video clips about Dr. King’s life and discussing the contributions he made. Following are some of the short reflections that stu-dents wrote about Dr. King’s dream:

“Dr. King had a dream that

the world would one day live in peace. He did the best he could to fulfill that dream until he was assassinated. That dream didn’t end with him, because people today remember the words that made the world a better place. Even though Dr. King isn’t here anymore, his dream is still and always will be among us.” – Courtney Jones

“Dr. King has changed our world by removing segrega-tion. In 1968, Dr. King was assassinated for trying to make

his dream come true. But the government came through and Dr. King’s dream came true. I think removing segregation has made our world a better place.” – Alex Bosket

“Dr. King changed our coun-try by uniting our people and by understanding that we are all the same. He changed the world by being brave and kind, but most of all by having a dream.” – Jen-nifer Trejo

Letter to the Editor

Social discourse To the Editor:

I’m going to miss Don Weath-ington’s columns. (TDB 1-19)

Responding to “Birdland” ideas has kept my thinking and writing skills sharp (or at least not dull).

In his latest, he laments the extension of the “Bush Tax Cuts.” The liberals got three of their agenda items (repealing “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, start treaty and extended unemploy-ment benefits) and gave one. A great deal for them, I’d say.

Further, he dismisses the Laf-fer curve (how lowering taxes actually increases economic activity) as te “laughter” curve. Good line, Don. However, de-creasing taxes HAS increased revenue – Kennedy in the 60s, Reagan and Bush. Economies do not turn on a dime. The effect is never immediate.

Liberals think that lower-ing taxes caused our economic “meltdown.” Basically, the trou-

ble began with the government forcing banks to give mortgages, under threat of “investigations,” to people who patently could not afford them. Thank you, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Results: foreclosures and bankruptcies.

Don takes issue with the “Re-publican agenda” stating that it “never seemed to represent the values on which the nation was founded – equal opportunity and Christian values.” This is way, way, WAY over the top.

Republicans tend to be con-servative (I wish it were more universal). Who is it that advo-cates for keeping “God” in the pledge, gives more to private charities (than liberals) and dare I say, “clings to God and guns?”

As for equal opportunity, the Constitution provides for that but not equality of outcomes.

We already have the richest “poor” on earth. Our “least” is better by far than the “least” in any other country.

Bless you, Don, and thank you.

Lionel ‘Garry’ Garrison

Lionel (“Garry”) Garrison passed peacefully on Jan. 13, 2011 at his home in Tryon Estates at the age of 93. He was born on July 5, 1917 in Estill County, Kentucky and spent his youth in and around the small town of Rogers, un-til attending Lee’s College in Jackson, Ky. Upon graduation he was accepted into the Na-vy’s “V-7” Program within the Officer Candidates School at North-western University. It was in Chicago that he met his future wife, Martha Jans-sen, while attend-ing a church social with other midship-men in April 1941. Upon completion of the V-7, Lionel was commissioned an en-sign in the Naval Reserves, one year prior to another young man from the same program, John F. Kennedy.

Lionel reported for duty July 1941 aboard the U.S.S. Colorado, one of the country’s proudest warships, in service since 1927. Home-ported in Pearl Harbor, she was ordered to travel to Bremerton, Wash., to receive new gun mounts and a technological innovation, radar. While in Bremerton, Lionel continued to think of Martha and come September took the bold step of mailing her an engage-ment ring. She responded by boarding a train in Chicago and traveling west; they married the day following her arrival.

Assigned to the Pacific arena throughout WWII, Lionel ad-vanced to main battery officer in charge of forward mounts, including the massive 16-inch guns. Receiving more “well done”s than any other ship in the Navy, the U.S.S. Colorado was privileged to be in port to witness the surrender of Ja-

Obituaries pan. Within four years, Lionel achieved the rank of lieutenant commander, and retired from active duty in 1946.

Over the years the growing family lived throughout the Midwest and eastern U.S. until moving to St. Croix, Virgin Is-lands in 1964 to manage a newly opened propane gas company. Six years later Lionel formed a roofing company, still operated today by his youngest daughter and son-in-law. In 1983, Lionel and Martha returned to the States and settled in North Carolina, first near Asheville and then Co-

lumbus. They were among the original residents of Tryon Estates in 1992.

Lionel was dedi-cated to the service of others, most no-tably children in need. Long affiliated with the Masons, he served in the Shrine Clubs of the Virgin Islands, Asheville,

N.C., and Hendersonville, N.C., to assist countless numbers of children to receive orthopedic help. A lover of spirited dialogue and a champion for improve-ment, Lionel worked tirelessly to benefit those around him. He served as the first president of the residents’ association at Tryon Estates, unofficial culi-nary liaison, and due to his love of golf persuaded local courses to provide special accommoda-tion to his fellow residents.

Lionel is survived by Mar-tha, his wife of nearly 70 years, and their four children: Lionel of Englewood, N.J., Edward of the Navajo Nation, Ariz., Martha Bressi and Joanna Ish-erwood, both of St. Croix, as well as ten grandchildren and two great-grandchildren due in the spring.

A private memorial service is planned for February, at which time the family will gather from far and wide to remember a man who loved his family beyond measure, and will not soon be forgotten.

Mary Duggan Schappert

Mary Duggan Schappert, age 82, of Rehoboth Beach, Del., died peacefully on Tuesday, Jan. 25, 2011, at the home of her daughter, surrounded by her loving family.

She had a long battle with Alzheimer’s Disease. Mary was born July 5, 1928 in Flushing, Queens, N.Y., daughter of the late William and Katherine (Rowland) Duggan.

Mary lived most of her life in Babylon Village, N.Y. She was a dedicated and loving daughter, mother, wife and grandmother.

For many years she provided administrative support for her husband’s legal practice and also taught French at the Hewl-ett School in East Islip, N.Y. In 1992, she retired with her hus-band to Columbus. She spent the last four years living with her daughter, son-in-law and their family in Delaware.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband of 51 years, Joseph M. Schappert. She is survived by her children:

Joseph Schappert, M.D. of Spokane, Wash., Kathy Nich-ols of Rehoboth Beach, Del., and William Schappert of Lake Lure, N.C.; her son-in-law, Bob Nichols; daughters-in law, Livia DeAngelis Schappert and Vickie Schappert; 11grandchil-dren; one great -granddaughter and her two dogs.

A memorial service is planned for the spring. She will be interred with her hus-band, brother and parents in Michigan.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer’s Disease Re-search, 22512 Gateway Center Drive, Clarksburg, Md. 20871.

Drama in the streets of London

Edward Harrelson as Bill sykes and susie Kocher as nancy share a tense moment in the upcoming musical “oliver!” (photo by Lorin Browning)

“Oliver!” isn’t just about singing and dancing, it gets a little rough at times too, es-pecially when you mix in a villain like Bill Sykes who is quick with his fists and doesn’t mind if he connects them with anyone who gets in his way. That’s true even if that person is much weaker – like a woman or a child. But Nancy, his long-time, long-suffering girlfriend, has had about enough.

Susie Kocher plays Nancy, who goes out on a limb to pro-tect young Oliver from a fate that is “all that’s bad.” Locals have seen Kocher in many TLT productions. She’s joined by Edward Harrelson playing Bill Sykes, the vicious reprobate, and their scenes together are spirited and fiery, to say the least.

This is Harrelson’s first TLT appearance. An attorney by day, he’s enjoyed “watching several plays that TLT has put on, and the quality is always very good,” he said.

For “Oliver!” he’s been working closely with Lavin Cuddihee (who plays Fagin) and Kocher “to develop our on-stage interaction,” he said,

Recharging nonprofit leadersment Detective, in Saluda.

Le Roy is currently an in-structor for Duke University in their Continuing Studies Non-profit Management program and travels for them within North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

She is also a board member of the NC Center for Nonprofits.

Le Roy spent 13 years of her career in the home improvement retail business. Seven and half years of the 13 were spent with Lowe’s companies, before enter-ing the nonprofit sector.

In 2001 Melissa entered the nonprofit sector with FENCE, the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center.

Starting today readers of the Tryon Daily Bulletin will see the column “Nonprofit Leader-ship” return on the first and third Monday’s of each month.

Nonprofit Leadership is dedi-cated to be a resource to readers connected to nonprofits, whether volunteers, donors, staff or board members.

Melissa Le Roy, who is cur-rently a consultant and instruc-tor, will write “Nonprofit Lead-ership.”

Le Roy was born and raised in Western North Carolina and still calls the mountains her home. She currently resides with her husband, Chris Le Roy, a Hendersonville Police Depart-

Melissa Le Roy

She continued her nonprof-it career for more than nine years as executive director until 2010.

The column will provide guidance for nonprofit leaders, from Le Roy’s perspective as a leader in both the nonprofit and for profit business world.

The column does not reflect the views of any organization she is or has been affiliated with.

“I’m impressed with the com-mitment both Lavin and Susie bring to their characters. They each give 110 percent to each rehearsal and are dedicated to becoming their character for the performance. It’s a pleasure for me to be a part of the creative process.”

“Oliver!” plays at the Tryon Fine Arts Center Feb. 11 and 12 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 13 at 3

p.m., and again Feb. 18 and 19 at 8 p.m. and Feb. 20 at 3 p.m. “Oliver!” is directed by Chris Tinkler with musical direction by Lena Duncan.
