Polk approves $592k bid to connect water to ColumbusMove is major step toward regional water systemby Leah Justice

The pieces of Polk County’s water puzzle are slowly but surely coming together.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Monday, Feb. 6 and approved a bid of $592,465 from Steppe Construc-tion in Mill Spring to construct a water line from the middle school campus in Mill Spring to Polk County High School, which is where the Columbus water main ends.

The water line to be construct-ed is approximately two miles of 12-inch line. The construction also includes the installation of 10 fire hydrants.

THE PEG SUS GROUP

The bid was approved by a 4-1 vote, with commissioner Tom Pack voting against the bid. Pack explained that although he is one of the biggest support-ers of laying water lines in the county, he feels the county did not take care of other issues during budget time last year and shouldn’t spend the money.

Polk will pay for the water line out of its fund balance.

The bid was approved con-tingent on a public water supply permit being granted from the state.

Commissioners also unani-mously approved a water in-terconnect agreement with the Town of Columbus, which is contingent on Columbus Town Council also approving the agreement later this month. The agreement sets out how the two entities will purchase water from each other. The agreement said the price of the water will be the same as inside commercial water rates in Columbus.

County engineer Dave Odom attended the meeting and re-viewed the four bids received.

Steppe Construction was the low bidder, with other bids coming from Davis Grading at $631,015, Marvin Hoyle Construction at $946,059 and Kennedy Concrete & Utilities at $956,790.

Commissioner vice-chair Renée McDermott noted how much lower Steppe Construc-tion’s bid was than the others as she made the motion to approve the bid.

The lowest bid came in around $100,000 over engineer estimates for the line. The esti-mate made last year was that the line would cost $488,390. Odom said the bids came in higher than estimates because costs of the line are higher and contractors are beginning to get busier.

The bids also included an alternate bid for running the water line up Hwy. 9 from the crossroads during construction. The middle school campus wa-

ter line already runs to the Mill Spring crossroads where Hwy. 108 and Hwy. 9 meet.

Commissioners will decide later whether to add the Hwy. 9 line to the project, but Steppe Construction also submitted the lowest bid for the alternate construction, at $120,747.

Commissioners will also later discuss a request from CooperRiis in Mill Spring to connect to the county’s water (see page 6).

Odom said in obtaining rights of ways for the water line to Columbus, the county should pick up a dozen or so customers. He said eight to 10 people have already asked to connect and that’s just people from whom engineers are getting rights of way.

“Everybody has seemed to be very positive about it so far,” Odom said.

Polk County first offered to connect to Columbus water last year during joint county/town meetings with Columbus, Salu-da and Tryon. The interconnect will mean that all three towns and the county’s water systems are connected.

Polk commissioners also dis-cussed the future of the county’s water system on Monday, Feb. 6. Discussions included con-necting Polk’s Green Creek system that connects the Broad River Water Authority to the In-man Campobello Water District to Polk Central School and later to the county’s Mill Spring well system. That connection would create a regional system for Polk and its towns because of Polk’s connection to Broad River and Inman Campobello and Saluda’s connection to Hendersonville and Asheville. Columbus, Sa-luda and Tryon were recently connected through a water line along Howard Gap Road and Tryon and Columbus were al-ready connected.

See further coverage of Polk’s future water system dis-cussions later this week.

Columbus Town Council will meet Thursday, Feb. 16 to con-sider the interconnect agreement with Polk County.

Polk considers constructing water line to CooperRiisby Leah Justice

Polk County commission-ers are now in discussions with CooperRiis Healing Farm in Mill Spring about running a water line to the facility.

Commissioners met Monday, Feb. 6 and discussed the possibil-ity with CooperRiis Managing Director Jeff Byrd.

Byrd said CooperRiis is about to begin construction on three houses and was looking at build-ing wells. Since public water is

not far away, Byrd said he sug-gested asking the county.

Byrd also told commissioners CooperRiis is discussing the pos-sibility of building additional fa-cilities on property across Hwy. 108 from the existing buildings.

Engineer Dave Odom said based on unit prices the county could get CooperRiis water for approximately $66,000. The county could do a change order on its water line to Columbus and add the additional line to

CooperRiis.Polk County Manager Ryan

Whitson suggested that the county pay for the extension since the line would be a main trunk line down Hwy. 108 in Mill Spring. Other commissioners, such as Tom Pack, said other water cus-tomers have had to share costs for main lines.

The county indicated that it would need an answer from CooperRiis by the end of April/first of March if it is interested.

Byrd said estimates from engi-neers should be back by then.

Whitson said he thinks this would be some of the best funding the county could spend on eco-nomic development, considering CooperRiis’ estimated 75 employ-ees and plans for expansion.

“Plus, you are going to get a large water customer at the end of your water line,” Whitson said.

Whitson agreed to return next month with revenue numbers for commissioners to consider.

• Policing(Continued From page 1)


Organizers said the program is designed to ensure that all law en-forcement agencies in Polk County are providing the most up-to-date information possible to Polk’s citi-zens and that the citizens of Polk County will have direct personal contacts within each department for sharing information.

The Polk County Community Policing Program’s first goal is to help build on existing community/neighborhood watch programs al-ready in place throughout Polk County and to assist in starting other community/neighborhood watch programs.

Officers from the Polk County Community Policing Program will hold community meetings to answer questions and provide further infor-

mation on the community policing program as well as community watch programs, crime prevention, fraud and identity theft prevention, domestic violence prevention and home and personal safety.

If you would like to schedule a meeting for your individual neighborhood or community talk to officers at one of the community meetings or call one of the commu-nity policing officers in your area.

Exciting to see TFAC moving forward with expansion plans

The Tryon Fine Arts Center is such a treasure to have in a smaller town like Tryon. How many other rural areas can boast such high-quality acts performing on such a regular basis?

The residents of Polk County and the Foothills can because of the hard work of staff and volunteers with the Tryon Fine Arts Center. It’s encouraging and exciting to see the upgrades TFAC has in store for patrons. Can you imagine having a second intimate amphitheater in Tryon? How great will it be for the families to enjoy quality Super Saturday acts on that outdoor stage?

And what about for the elderly and disabled members of our community who might struggle to make it up the current set of stairs that lead from the Baptist church parking lot to the auditorium; this newly designed pathway, along with its corresponding landscaping, will only further ensure they always feel able to safely reach the front lobby.

We’re only briefly highlighting a few of the many exciting attributes of this project but kudos to all of those who have worked so hard to come up with a plan for the arts center that the community can really stand proudly behind.

Letters to the editor

Let’s talk about exploitation

To the Editor:I m i s s e d D o n

Weathington, but I see he’s back. His column (TDB 2-3-12) sounds like he may have been occupying Wall Street.

In two consecutive sentences he upsets the entire apple cart of tenets of what has made this country the envy of the world (for a while, at least).

Sentence one: “The privilege of earning a lot of money shouldn’t be free.” Say whaaat? Citizens shouldn’t be free to earn whatever their talents, education and ambi-tion can provide.

So, here is Bob, showing up at the national park at 6 a.m. to fish when the fish are biting. I’ve caught four by 9:30 and good fish-ing is about over. Along comes Ty Pover about 10 a.m. We fish til 10:25 and pack up together. I have four fish; he has none. At the gate I’m first. The ranger asks how many fish I’ve caught. “Four,” I say.

“Wait here,” he says. When he finds that Ty Pover,

just behind me, has none, he takes

one of mine and gives it to Ty, then one to himself. Moral: doing well at catching fish ain’t free.

Sentence two: (immediately following) “High earn-ers should pay to main-tain the civilization they exploit.” Interest-ing word, “exploit.” As a noun – a noteworthy

deed. As a verb – two meanings: either to “make use of” (neutral) or “to illuse” (pejorative), as in the ranger exploited his authority when he took my fish.

Locally, I assume Drs. Rosen-burg, Perrault and Baker, as well as the owners of Sidestreet and IGA and Stott’s Ford are “high earners.” If Don and anyone else thinks they should be paying more then tell them so next time you are exploiting (neutral) their services.

That said, there are evil exploit-ers - Madoff and Corzine, etc. These are criminals and I’d happily take everything they have.

Speaking of evil exploitation, a peeve of mine is 99 weeks’ unem-ployment. Think back two years ago. How old were you then? Think you could have found work between then and now? So, who is exploiting who?

Caring for America’s flag

To the Editor:Do you know

what to do with a tattered American flag?

Many times I’ve seen an American flag (symbol of our country) flying while tat-tered and/or in shreds. We often take our flag for granted and sometimes need to be reminded

that it deserves respect and ap-preciation and proper care.

For disposal of worn Ameri-can flags, American Legion Post 250 in Tryon conducts a cer-emony on Flag Day to dispose of American Flags properly.

In high winds, we can take down the flag to avoid the “shredded effect.” If we choose


Tag office editorial response

To the Editor:In order for the

vehicle taxes to be credited to the proper county, the tax form needs to provide a

space to list the vehicle owner’s county.

This is done on the N.C. income tax form. I’m not against a local

office, but I think adding the county would benefit al l North Carol ina counties.

Greenville County had the most fatal automobile accidents. My question is how many were due to people driving and using a cell phone?

I taught driving and know that

America should stop people from driving with a cell phone.

O.P. Earle Elementary has re-ceived a $5,000 Lowe’s Toolbox for Education Grant to enhance and extend the school’s art and reading programs.

The grant funds will be used to create an outdoor art gallery, reading area and café for stu-dents. The area, located outside the existing Principal’s Art Gal-lery, is also adjacent to the cafete-ria and will serve as an outdoor dining area for students.

Both permanent and tem-porary student artwork will be displayed in this area and will serve to enhance the aesthetics of the building.

The school currently has a well-established visual and per-forming arts program and seeks every opportunity to promote students’ artistic talents by creat-ing display areas throughout the building.

The purpose of the outdoor art

and reading patio is to provide an extension of the current student art gallery and to provide an outdoor space that can be used by all classes as an instructional area, incentive reward area and art display area.

Community members will be invited to attend community arts evenings that will feature student artwork and will showcase their work as well as the work of lo-cal artists.

O.P. Earle Elementary receives $5k for art, reading Principal Nita High said,

“Our school is very fortunate to receive the Lowe’s Toolbox for Education Grant and we look forward to establishing a beauti-ful area that will showcase our children’s artistic talent and serve as an outdoor instructional and dining space for our entire school family.”

Parker to hold combined 70th birthday party, Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry benefit Saturday, Feb. 11

A birthday celebrating Mary Parker’s 70th birthday will be held this Saturday, Feb. 11 to benefit the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry.

The public is invited to the event, which will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. at the Congregational Church, located at 210 Melrose Ave., Tryon.

The birthday party/benefit will include live music. Desserts,

appetizers, coffee and punch will be served.

Parker will have on display photographs, articles and writings about her first 70 years of life.

The purpose of the benefit is to raise money to help those in Polk County who are experienc-ing hardships because of the downturn in the economy. While food donations are welcome at Outreach anytime, Parker’s event

will be asking for monetary dona-tions to help meet basic needs in Polk County.

Parker’s birthday is Feb. 15 and she said since this is one of those important “decade” birth-days, she is looking for ways to make the celebrating more meaningful by expressing what is important to her and who she is becoming.

“I have been very blessed to

have wonderful friends who have given me such great support and love,” said Parker. “Those gifts are the most valuable of all to me. I have always had great concern for those who struggle to meet such basic needs as food, clothing and shelter. At this time in my life, birthday presents are not what I want. I want to support and help those who need it.”

Ask any student, player, coach or parent at Lake Lure Classical Academy and they will tell you that the LLCA Raptors’ inaugural basketball season was very exciting! The team closed its first season with a last minute game against Trinity Christian School. Brittany Wright coached the schools’ Girl Raptors and Brad White coached the Boy Raptors.

“Their dedication to our children and their encouragement was very apparent throughout all the practices and games,” said Robin Lancaster.

On Jan. 18 LLCA faced off against Mountain Community School with the girls losing 15-18 and the boys winning 18-17. The next night the Raptors played Trinity Christian School with the girls winning 17-14 and the boys losing 12-20.

On Jan . 28, Beth Ch i ld , executive director of the Tryon Fine Arts Center, visited the Tryon Kiwanis Club to talk about TFAC’s master plan and expansion. Child said the expansion will take advantage of the natural “bowl” and mountain views from TFAC’s location on Melrose Avenue, striving to preserve green space in the neighborhood while increasing parking. Three of the outbuildings around the center will be removed and a sidewalk will be built from the lower parking area to the front entrance of TFAC. Child said the cost of this phase of the plan is $365,000 and work should begin soon. Stage 2 would be a glass box addition (2 1/2 stories) on the rear of the building, Child said. This would connect to studios already there and go 40’ into Farwell Garden. Child is shown here with Steve Cobb of Owens Pharmacy, outgoing president of Tryon Kiwanis Club. (photo submitted by Sue Watson)

Child tells Kiwanis about TFAC master plan

Here it comes… Valentine’s Day!

with its sea of red hearts and roses everywhere!

And, even people who are not-so-inclined on a regular basis, find themselves awakened to the touch-ing emotions that would make even Cupid blush!

But, did you know how such epic rushes to the department stores to pick out something “ special” for that someone special, came to be?

Well, it wasn’t an occasion of

celebration at all!Mr. Valentine was imprisoned,

and his true love came and dropped little love notes and cards through the prison bars, to ensure him of her deep continued and steadfast love for him.

Needless to say, the occasion to bring someone a smile, has continued.

Yet, so many only express their sentiment on the holiday of Febru-ary 14.

Ah… Mr. Valentine would have been disappointed!

Six Landrum High School students and 10 Polk County High School students have au-ditioned at Tryon Estates for a scholarship to the Cannon Sum-mer Music Camp in Boone, N.C.

The Laurel Lake Music So-ciety (LLMS) of Columbus offers a limited number of full scholarships to the best-qualified students.

The auditions are recorded on DVD and sent to Appalachian State University for review. Based on their decisions, and on the funds donated to the Laurel Lake Music Society by residents of Tryon Estates, selected stu-

dents are given a scholarship that covers three weeks of intensive music training, plus room, board and medical insurance.

The Cannon Summer Music Camp will be held between June 30 and July 21.

At the conclusion of the camp, a four-day concert will be given in Boone and is open to the public at no charge.

Students return to their high school music programs with a much wider understanding of mu-sic theory and their own potential, LLMS organizers said.

You’re the dealer, arrive at 7 Diamonds, and get an opening lead of the Club King. Cover up the E/W hands and plan your play.

At first glance this looks like a pretty easy hand to play as long as the Spade suit sets up.

So how did you play after winning the first trick with the Ace of Clubs?

Did you draw trumps? (Wrong move).

Did you stop drawing trumps once you saw the 4-0 break in trumps? (Good move, maybe).

The key to this hand is how you go about drawing trumps. Since Spades figure not to break 3-3, you must plan to ruff the third round of the suit in the dummy.

In order to give yourself the best chance of safely trump-ing a Spade in the dummy you

must preserve the King in the dummy. Therefore, when you play trumps at trick 2, you must start with the Ace from your hand.

Then, when you see that East started with 4 trumps, you abandon the suit until you set up your Spade suit.

So you cash the Ace & King of Spades and ruff a Spade in dummy with the King of trumps.

You then finesse East out of his known 10 of trumps, draw trumps and claim your slam.

The key to playing many hands is planning on how to play the hand before you play to trick one, or in this case trick 2.

Holding all the high trumps, one can easily overlook such a simple thing as how you go about drawing them.

Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by Dean Campbell

The Appalachian code of the hills reigned in the hills and hollows of the Dark Corner for generations before the com-ing of t rue law enforce-ment, which f o l l o w e d the k i l l i ng of Hol land Howard in a distillery be-tween Hog-back Mountain and Chestnut Ridge in 1924.

Following that event, the Pleasant Hill Law and Order League was formed by 39 men from three communities.

They furnished speakers to attend local gatherings to speak against moonshine whiskey and what it was doing to detrimen-tally affect life in the region.

No longer would the report-ing of a neighbor’s (or relative’s) distillery be considered the

unpardonable sin, the one these mountaineers would not forgive.

If a family member or neigh-bor reported a moonshiner’s

distillery, he would cut up the distillery o f the sus -pected person himself.

Th is was done out of pride, accord-

ing to the code, because he would not stoop to reporting it to authorities.

Reporting distilleries was considered a cowardly act, and was responsible for more kill-ings than anything else in the Dark Corner.

A number of family feuds began with the cowardly act of distillery reporting and ended many times with the death of one or more persons.

The Bowers and Howards

Distillery reporting ... the unpardonable sinwere rival moonshiners for many years. Back in 1901, Jim Howard, Bill Gosnell (yes, the same families who had a shoot out at Mountain Hill Church 20-odd years later) and a friend raided Alexander Bowers’ dis-tillery and completely destroyed it.

They suspected Bowers of giving information on their dis-tillery to revenue officers and were determined to punish him for the deed.

Bowers became enraged and swore revenge against Howard, Gosnell and the friend.

Eventually he met Jim How-ard. They quarreled, using some “powerful cussing.” The argu-ment ended with Bowers fatally shooting Howard with a Win-chester rifle.

Howard’s brothers, including “Big Bill,” swore to avenge his death, but never made good on the threat.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 12 at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. The speaker will be Reverend Jean Rowe. Her topic will be “Good Relationships.”

“A good relationship (true

friends, marriage, family ties) is one of life’s greatest gifts and achievements,” Rowe said. “A healthy, wholesome, loving rela-tionship is a platform that allows the mysterious process of human growth to happen, through giv-ing and sharing, safely and se-

curely. When you are loved, you dare to be fully and completely yourself. This is the great gift that fosters the full flowering of each person. Good relationships give us the freedom to be our own best true selves.

“One might say that good relationships are of the highest religious and spiritual value because they allow transforma-tion to take place – that is, we transcend old bondages, old ways of thinking and being. And

as we are transformed, we may help to transform those around us as well. Or as Rabbi Harold Kushner put it, ‘The ultimate goal is to transform the world into the kind of world God had in mind when he created it.’“

A time for fellowship and hospitality will be held before the service. For information, call 828-894-5776 or visit www.uutryonnc.org.

Fine art photographer Colby Caldwell gives a PowerPoint pre-sentation, “Framing Lazarus,” at the Upstairs Artspace this Friday, Feb. 10 at 7 p.m. Caldwell is one of four artists in “The Innovative Camera” exhibit currently show-ing at the Upstairs.

The talk is about photographic work that focuses on people and the complex relationships between the photographer, his subjects and shared experiences, especially when friends and fam-ily are involved. Caldwell delves into issues of personal photog-raphy, such as the authenticity

Upstairs visitor studies Colby Caldwell photograph. (photo by Keith Spencer)

Upstairs Artspace presents ‘Framing Lazarus’versus artificiality of memory; color versus black-and-white images and the impact of new technology.

Caldwell lives and works in Maryland, where he is an associ-ate professor of art at St. Mary’s College; he also has a studio in Asheville.

The artist graduated from the Corcoran School of Art (now College of Art and Design) in Washington, D.C., where he taught from 1997 to 2001.

Caldwell’s work has been shown both nationally and in-ternationally since 1988. He

is represented by Hemphill Gal-lery in Washington and Nailya Alexander Gallery in New York City. He has two shows opening next month in Washington.

The critic Nord Wennerstrom has written of Caldwell, “The quality of his presentation re-mains consistent across media – refined and elegant.”

“Framing Lazarus” is free and open to the public. Audience participation is encouraged. Light refreshments will be served. For information, call 828-859-2828.

Are you sometimes over-whelmed with your gardening chores? The Foothills Asso-ciation of Master Gardeners will sponsor a special gardening program called “Editing Your Garden” on Monday, Feb. 13 at 1:30 p.m. at Isothermal Com-munity College in Columbus. The program will be open to the public.

Buncombe Extension Master

Gardener Mary Reeves will offer time-saving tips for taking some of the hard work out of a beauti-ful yard.

She will also help you outline goals in establishing a low-maintenance garden.

Reeves said her goal is to help you take the exhaustion, not the fulfillment, out of gardening.

She emphasizes that you must reject perfection – because it will

kill you!Reeves gardens on four acres

(with no lawn) and said she realized it was essential to edit and select wants versus needs in establishing a garden landscape.

There will be a short business meeting for members of the Foot-hills Association of Master Gar-deners following the program.
