During the bad ice storm several years ago, the Red Cross sheltered up to 50 people. He said many local people and organizations have been wonderful in pitching in during these situations. 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 Gatorade 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. Ayers said the organization (Continued on page 6)

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 devastate 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 organization in such dire straits? The economy, Ayers said. “Personally, I feel like I’ve seen the economy hit Polk County 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.
vines - page 61
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 Community 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.

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, between 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, identified from left to right. Photos without names are less likely to be published.
Thanks for your submissions… see you in the paper!

To the Editor: As we come to the close of another year in Tryon, I find much cause in our community to reflect on what the English poet William 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 sometimes 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 extraordinary 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 Town of Tryon, TDDA, Nina Simone Project

Letter to the Editor
TDB should proofread carefully To the Editor: Regarding the article printed Dec. 21 “Winter weather catalyst…,” 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 incorrectly used five 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. — Winnie Clark

Practice safety tips when ringing in the New Year As North Carolinians prepare for New Year’s Eve, experts urge consumers 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 decreased 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 Pyrotechnics Association. John Conkling, a nationally renowned fireworks expert and spokesman for the American Pyrotechnics 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, however, 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 always 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 emergencies. Used sparklers should be soaked in a bucket of water prior to being discarded. • Use sparklers outdoors, only in clear areas, away from houses, buildings, 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.
