Former Polk commissioner dies With the recent death of Bill McKaig, Polk County has lost a dedicated public servant. McKaig served for four years as a Polk commissioner. He also coached football and Little League and Senior League baseball and was active in the Tryon School System Boosters Club and PTA. Services will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the McFarland Funeral Chapel.
Volunteer s from the community finished repairing “Grandma” Ida Mae Wright’s porch (new porch, right) earlier this month. Wright lives on N. Trade Ave. in Landrum, and her house had been condemned because the porch was unsafe. The community rallied to fund and make the needed repairs. The entire porch was rebuilt, including the floor, roof, posts and a new front door. Below is the porch before it was rebuilt. See p. 8 for more photos. (photos submitted)

attention. Thanks to funding assistance from the local Kiwanis Club, Polk County Community Foundation, the PTO and GameTime, more than $27,000 was raised to replace and rehabilitate an aging playground. Numerous volunteers, including members of Tryon Kiwanis Club and Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity as well as parents, teachers, Val Simoncic, Alan Snyder, George Alley, Stacy Evans and Principal Walker Williams, pitched in to construct the new playground on a very cold day last December. These volunteers dug holes, tightened screws, pieced together a fun new gym set and spread Dr. Joe Picone, former Tryon Kiwanis Club tons of mulch, do- president, spearheaded the effort to build a new for Tryon Elementary School.

other downtown development issues. The same topic has also been the subject of numerous letters to the editor. “The town has received and continues to receive numerous comments and suggestions concerning commercial development allowed by our current land use regulations,” Hembree said in a memo to council. “In order to directly address this issue, staff feels it may be beneficial for a public hearing concerning the topic to be held. This will allow the town to formally ‘hear’ the public, answer questions and direct staff, if applicable, to take specific actions.” Hembree says receiving input and becoming a more business friendly town are specific goals of Tryon’s recently approved strategic plan. The Dollar General was con-

structed a couple of months ago on part of the property occupied by the former Plenty of Fish restaurant (the old Sunnydale’s) on S. Trade Street. Tryon officials have said that although many residents expressed concern regarding the looks of the store and its size, the store conforms to all Tryon’s current regulations. The planning board met with developers and requested some changes to the outdoor aesthetics of the building, which were adhered to by developers. Other residents have commented that the store will bring jobs and revenue to the town. Council said they will publicize the public hearing and will also place a survey on the town’s website. The online survey will allow residents to leave comments and suggestions in case they are unable to attend the meeting or are not comfortable speaking in public.

lacks only $25,000 in matching funds from the community before it can begin work creating the Vaughn Creek greenway. The parks committee, which has been working on the project since 2005, has obtained $196,000 in grants for the project, but $25,000 in matching funds is required. Parks committee member John Vining discussed the project during a Tryon Town Council meeting last week. The project has received a $95,000 grant from the N.C. Division of Water Resources, which can be used strictly for stream and trail improvements. Another $101,000 grant from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund can be used toward the acquisition of property, which is approximately 19 acres. The sale price for the property is $110,500, but the project, including surveying and closing costs, is estimated at $126,000, Vining says.

Hefner, Cards hold off Wildcats in Blacksburg Dramatic win sets up region showdown with Christ Church by Joey Millwood
the Landrum football team found itself between a rock and a hard place on Friday night in Blacksburg. the Cardinals have shown all season that their high-powered offensive attack is for real, but with 30 seconds left to go in a tough region matchup with Blacksburg, it was defense that would decide their fate. the Cardinals (6-2, 4-0) lined up to punt with a little over a minute to go in the fourth quarter with a 25-22 lead. a high snap got passed Cardinal punter stephen Doar and he was tackled on the 12 yard line. the Cardinal defense forced a fourth down on the 6 yard line and with the
game on the line the Wildcats lined up for their final play. the Blacksburg quarterback rolled out and hit star runningback in the flat with a short pass and David Hefner nipped the play in the bud, ending the Wildcats’ hopes for victory. “It got real exciting right there at the end,” Landrum coach russell Mahaffey said. “David Hefner came up and took that play away.” the game wasn’t all defense. the powerful ground game that Cardinal fans have become accustomed to all season was in full effect on the gridiron as well. star quarterback Brandon Cannon rushed for 155 yards on just 21 carries and found the endzone twice with his feet. He also had 47 yards through the air, including a 14-yard touchdown pass to tyler Logan. Cannon and tailback Cole McDowell proved once again that they are a

Lady Wolverines advance to next round of volleyball playoffs by Jordan DeVere
on saturday, the Lady Wolverines volleyball team hosted Forbush in an intense playoff matchup. the Wolverines were able to stave off several runs by Forbush to win in four games and advance to the next round. the first game was total domination by the Wolverines as they broke out to an early lead and never looked back. Brittany phipps (12) and Kailey russell (2) really made it easy as they both had several unstoppable spikes to give polk the win 2517, even though Forbush made a strong push toward Polk County’s Shalyn Brown, Libero #5, ready the end of the game. to hit the ball.

Letter to the Editor
A true Southern gentleman To the Editor: I am not a politician. In fact, I don’t even like many politicians but believe me the few that I do like are people like Donald Hill and Charlene Owens. Simply because the first time you meet them you see the true person-honest, open, friendly, down to earth people. No put on about them. They have done what they said they would dohelped in ways beyond their job descriptions. Why? Because they care about all the people of Polk County. Not the money. Not the chance for getting a special favor done. Simply because they care about all the people and about making Polk County a wonderful place for all of us to be proud of and to raise our children and our childrens’ children. Donald Hill is a true Southern gentleman. He walks and talks softly, but he means what he says. I believe he will make one of our best sheriff’s ever. – Meg Duncan

Kids @ FENCE Fall Festival to feature unique maze On Sunday, October 31, FENCE will host its annual Kids @ FENCE Fall Festival from 1 to 5 p.m. Free family events at FENCE are made possible by a grant from the Kirby Fund at the Polk County Community Foundation. One of the ways in which FENCE fulfills its mission is through its primary community outreach program, Project FENCE (Friends Enjoying Nature Chemistry and the Environment). During 2009-2010, 9,900 students have participated or are enrolled to attend at least one of our education programs. Each program offered is a two part series. The first section brings FENCE to the classroom. Project FENCE’s Education Coordinator arrives at the classroom with education boxes to provide an hour of curriculum based lessons in one aspect of the sciences. The second part of each lesson is held at FENCE. Lessons shared in the classroom are brought to life on the property through hikes on the
trails, around the 2½ acre pond and hands-on sessions in their nature classrooms. One of these outdoor classrooms is the newly created maze that was set into seven and a half acres of native grasses on the 394 acres of FENCE. What are native or warm season grasses? Native grasses were here when the first pioneers came into the southeast. They consisted of grasses such as big bluestem, Indiangrass, little bluestem, and switchgrass – all of which can be found at FENCE along with over 7,000 wildflowers mixed in. These bunch grasses grow in clumps and provide excellent habitat for nesting and cover. They are also of high nutritive value. In a collaborative effort with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and the NC Wildlife Resources Commission, this project was undertaken to establish native grasses at FENCE for the main purpose of improving

wildlife habitat such as Bobwhite quail, songbirds, rabbits and deer. The secondary purpose was to use the area as a demonstration and for environmental education. Now in its sixth year, the native grasses have reached a height of over 3 feet
tall – so come see if you can find your way through the maze! For more information or tickets to the Kids @ FENCE Fall Festival, contact FENCE at 828-859-9021 or www.fence.org – article submitted

Season to vote
To the Editor: T’was the night before elections And all through the town Tempers were flaring Emotions all up and down. I, in my robe With a cat in my lap Had cut off the TV tired of political clap-trap. When all of a sudden There arose such a noise I peered out my window Saw Obama and his boys. They had come for my wallet They wanted my pay To give to the others Who had not worked a day! He snatched up my money And quick as a wink Jumped back on his bandwagon As I gagged from the stink He then rallied his henchmen Who were pulling his cart I could tell they were out To tear my country apart! ‘On Fannie, on Freddie, On Biden and Ayers! On Acorn, On Pelosi’ He screamed at the pairs! They took off for his cause And as they flew out of sight I heard him laugh at the nation Who stand up and Callwouldn’t 828-863-4444 fight. for more information So I leave you to think On this one final note If you don’t want socialism Get out and vote. – Ann Crandall
