Consistency in the heat of things BBQ festival today, tomorrow

by Samantha Hurst

When the barbecue teams in Hog Heaven at Harmon Field get things fired up Friday they’ll have the temperatures on their cookers up around 200 degrees, but the perspiration you see won’t be from heat off the cookers, it’ll likely be from the heat of competition.

Remember, the Blue Ridge Barbecue Festival isn’t amateur hour in the barbecue world.

We’re talking about the North Carolina State Barbecue Championship and a Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) sanctioned event.

Forest City shooting fugitive arrested in Tryon

by Leah Justice

A Forest City man accused of shooting two men at his home and fleeing from the scene was found in Tryon on Wednesday, June 8.

Lee Anthony Brisbon, 41, of Greenfield Drive, Forest City, N.C., was arrested after surrendering to the Polk County and Tryon Police Department around 3:30 p.m. on June 8 when he was discovered on Peake St. in Tryon.

Brisbon is being accused of shooting a father and son following an argument that took place at Brisbon’s home on Tuesday, June 7 around 9 p.m. According to reports, Brisbon began to argue with Kevin Cole. Cole’s father, Joe Bristol, arrived at the home and all three began to fight.

Police say bricks from the garden were being thrown when Brisbon fired a rifle. Bullets hit the father and son, striking Cole once and Bristol three times. The father and son were transported to the hospital, where they are expected to recover.

Brisbon faces two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury. He also faces charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, possession of a firearm by a felon and discharging a firearm inside city limits.

Public hearing on Polk budget set for Monday

by Leah Justice

Polk County residents will have the chance to give their opinions on the county’s budget proposal for fiscal year 2011-2012 Monday, June 13. Commissioners will hold a special meeting for a public hearing beginning at 7 p.m. at the Womack building in Columbus.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson is recommending a budget with no tax increase. It includes an additional $300,000 in general school funding and more recently, an additional $100,000 to help fund the More-at-Four preschool program.

It is not clear where the $100,000 would be pulled from in the budget.

The proposed budget adds $180,000 to the county’s savings for future Lake Adger Dam repairs, $100,000 for county-wide water and water line extensions, $20,000 in contingency and at least $90,000 in fuel contingency.

Commissioners have also agreed to hire a new economic development director, which is planned to be a contracted service budgeted at $50,000. Polk is combining its economic development commission and travel and tourism department with the county only using approximately $64,000 of hospitality tax funding to fund the travel and tourism department. The travel and tourism director will be made part-time next year if the proposed budget is approved.

Other changes proposed next year are for employee deductibles and copays on insurance to rise beginning on Jan. 1, 2012. The budget does not include any salary increases for employees but does increase employee Christmas bonuses to $300 next year.

Commissioners have another budget proposed recently by commissioner Tom Pack, which includes a $300,000 tax decrease and increases in salaries for some sheriff’s office, jail and communications employees. Pack’s budget also includes keeping employee deductibles at the current $500 per employee.

The majority of commissioners have expressed concern over Pack’s budget. (See more details on discussions regarding Pack’s budget

proposal in the Monday, June 13 Bulletin.)

The tax rate on the manager’s proposed budget is recommended to stay at 52 cents per $100 of valuation with the total budget proposal at $25,998,075.

The total real property valuation is $2,587,231,539, which is an increase of $7,431,480 or 0.3 percent.

The collection rate is 96.78 percent, according to the 2010 audit, compared to the previous year at 97.62 percent. Whitson said at the current tax collection rate, the county should bring in $13,020,398 in property tax revenue next year.

The value for motor vehicles is down, according to the proposed budget, to $138,628,377 from $165,074,797 the previous year, but the collection rate is slightly up. The 2011-2012 estimated figures should bring in $643,661 in motor vehicle tax revenue, according to projections.

The total revenue estimated from property and motor vehicle taxes is $13,954,059, which is $198,186 less than what was projected in the current year’s budget.

The county is also projected to receive $1,891,820 in sales tax revenue next fiscal year, which Whitson has said is an optimistic increase of 2.99 percent over the current year’s projected budget.

The county is also anticipating permit and fee revenues in the amount of $297,636, which is down 7.95 percent from the current budget. Other projected revenues, including from interest, grants and the sale of assets are estimated at $107,890, which is almost half of the current budget.

“This is a safe, realistic budget,” Whitson said when proposing the budget. “It is not overly optimistic and it keeps Polk County in a position to weather future problems from the economic downturn.

Commissioners will hear comments from the public on Monday and could make changes to the proposal depending on feedback.

Commissioners are scheduled to adopt the budget and tax levy on Monday, Jan. 20. The new budget year begins July 1.

should know. When he helped the chamber of commerce initiate the event, he was traveling the country judging renowned competitions.

“What this thing is good for is Polk County – the entire community benefits from this thing,” Tabb said. “We’re on the map with this contest. You can go out to California and start talking to people about barbecue and they know about Tryon.”

Tabb said the competition increases in difficulty year after year with more people throwing their recipes into play and technology intensifying everyone’s efforts.

The old adage of low and slow still counts more than any injected sauce or high-tech cooking equipment, Tabb said.

“You can’t hurry up bar-

becue – it’s low and slow as they say,” he said. “One of the problems people have is they don’t have the patience to stay with it.”

To cook a whole hog you’ve really got to have patience.

Such a feat takes 18-20 hours of slow cooking, Tabb said.

Teams aiming to capture the Grand Championship Competition title can’t just excel at brisket or whole hog, they must compete and do well in all four categories - chicken, pork ribs, pork (or whole hog) and beef brisket.

The grand champion team wins $2,500, an invitation to the Kansas City Invitational and eligibility for the Jack Daniels Invitational drawing.

The reserve grand champion wins $1,000, third place wins $400, fourth place $200, fifth place $150 and sixth through (Continued on page 7)

10th place all go home with $50.

Involved since day one of the festival, competition chairman Carl Wharton has seen time and time again what it takes to capture this competition.

He’s helped with organizing the event and cooked in it himself.

“It will take a team that really has its act together to win this whole thing. It’s a very difficult competition,” Wharton said.

There will be some team that will get on a roll and they will get a call in two, three or maybe four categories, Wharton said.

“That consistency is what it takes. They can’t bomb out in the brisket for example… they want to stay above the top 20 in all categories,” he said.

Wharton said he expects local teams to win first, second or

“I’ve learned so much over the years just by going around and picking the other guys' brains,” he said.

He even talked about a year when he didn’t have enough green leaf lettuce for his plates.

He started asking around and his next door neighbor said, ‘Ahh, I

He said all the competitors might rib each other throughout the long day and night of cooking but they all show up more than willing to rush to someone’s aid when it counts.

Their best finish here in Tryon was sixth overall in 2008. Some of you will remember this team by their previous name, Willy-T’s.

Chatham Artillery BBQ - Tryon’s defending grand champions, this team has won it all for the past two years. Led by Bill Anderson, they’re returning for their third year from Savannah, Ga. In 2010, out of nine contests, they had five grand championships - that’s in addition to the four they won in 2009. Anderson has written a book about how to do it, “Competition BBQ Secrets,� and has followed that up with a set of detailed videos.

Cool Smoke - The 2008 grand champion here and 2010 reserve grand champion, this is also the 2007 KCBS Team of the Year.

Out of Richmond, Va., the team is one of the featured teams on The Learning Channel’s (TLC) "BBQ Pitmasters" show, and on Memorial Day Weekend they finished second in CBS’ new show, “Ultimate BBQ

by Rick Ohrstrom out of Tryon, Culture won first place in whole Hog in Tryon and in 2004 took first

Down Home - Another of this year’s competitors selling to the public and coming to the event all the way from Philadelphia. Team leader is Jack McDavid.

This year they've taken four overall top 10 spots - second at Lakeland, fifth at Los Angeles (Slidell), ninth at Edenton and 10th at Salisbury. In 2010, they were grand champions at Hedgesville, WV, having suc(Continued on page 12)

Que’n, Stew’n & Brew’n - A big Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival welcome to this team, new to Tryon, coming from Kennesaw, Ga., and led by Scott Smith. Smith said he just started cooking in 2009, but last year he amassed 17 Top 10 finishes including a grand championship at Dalton, Ga.; and so far this year he’s won the grand championship at Pelahatchie, Miss. and third place overall in three other contests.

Queology - This is a new team just started in 2010 under the leadership of Russ Cornette from Summerville, S.C., but they’re doing well. That first year they had four starts and three top 10 finishes.

They took sixth at North Augusta, S.C., with a second in pork; sixth at Myrtle Beach, S.C., with a third in ribs and a seventh in brisket; and eighth at Laurens, S.C., with a third in pork. So far in 2011, they’ve placed eighth at Charleston, S.C., with a second in pork.

Raw Talent – From Tega Cay, S.C., this team led by Gary Kunes doesn’t seem to enter a lot of contests, but in their only appearance here at Tryon in 2009 they took third overall with a fourth in brisket, eighth in pork and ninth in chicken.

Razorbacks - from Spartanburg, S.C., are competing here for the second time this year. They are led by Stan Wilson.

Sauced BBQ - is coming to Tryon for the second time this year. They’re all the way from Mount Holly, N.C., and 2009 was their rookie year. Scott and Joline Adams wrote in the KCBS cooker bio, “We have been cooking ‘que for a little while now and are ready to take it on the road to see how we stack up against the pros.” In 2010 they earned Reserve Grand Champion status at King’s Mountain and finished sixth at Lincolnton with a first in brisket.

Smoke This BBQ - led by Scott Jarrett, was a newcomer to Tryon last year - all the way from Hickory, N.C. Last year they had four top 10 overall finishes including, most notably, the grand championship

at Edenton, where they took first place in three categories - chicken, pork and brisket, and fourth place in ribs. They had three top 10s overall in 2009.

Smokin B’s - The Smokin B’s BBQ team is making their first appearance in Tryon.

In 2010, out of 13 starts they nabbed seventh top 10 finishes, including seventh here at Tryon.

St Louis Pit Que - This team is making a first appearance here in Tryon.

Sue E. Pigg - from Clemson, S.C. has been competing for a number of years, and this is their eighth year at Tryon. So far this year they finished ninth at Kings Mountain with a first in ribs, and last year they finished third in Laurens with firsts in ribs and brisket.

Their name comes from “Big Sue” who is the tall, skinny, Yankee wife of chief cook, Steve Wainscott.

Team members are an unsavory group of underworked, overpaid, over-the-hill Clemson professors known as “Radio” Rick, “Swabby” Joe and “Dead Eye” Dewey. Their BBQ style is an aromatic mix of mustard, vinegar and several secret ingredients. Their choice of wood includes oak, pecan and apple for flavor. Steve Wainscott and his fellow professors at Clemson U. offer a scholarly approach to BBQ competition.

Swine-O - Another new team, led by Harold Maass, this time from right here in Tryon.

Tarheel Smokers - under Roy Murray have been cooking since 2002. Hailing from Herford, N.C., this team has two grand champi(Continued on page 14)

Wicked Que - From Watkinsville, Ga., this team is under the leadership of Jeff Campbell, and they’re making their first appearance here in Tryon.

Also to her credit are the 2009 Virginia State Championship and the 2010 Maryland State Reserve Grand Championship. Lee Ann’s awards and her showmanship have resulted in appearances on the “Today Show,” Travel Channel, 700 Club, Food Network, “People Magazine,” “ESPN Magazine” and Chesapeake’s local WAVY TV, “Joel Rubin Show,” The Virginia Pilot, VERSUS Network on the National BBQ Championship Series, and most recently on Food Network’s “Throwdown with Bobby Flay” – Wood Chicks won best pork barbecue.

Live music fills BBQ festival Inside the gates of the Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival barbecue and music, of course, are the main attractions.

Live music on the Main Stage Friday includes the headliner, Nashville recording star Chuck Wicks, who is set to perform at 9:30 p.m. But before he goes on the crowd will have been warming up with music all day, starting around 11 a.m.

Saturday’s headliners are Acoustic Syndicate (Main Stage, 9:15 p.m.) and Devon Allman (yes, Gregg Allman’s son) and his band Honeytribe.

Again, music starts around 11 a.m. and goes all day Saturday also.

There is also a smaller “Riverside” stage where acoustic sounds will be featured all day both days – closing down around 7 p.m.

Chuck Wicks - Fri. 9:3011 p.m.

Wicks, a gifted songwriter and vocalist, made a compelling impression with his Top 5 smash, “Stealing Cinderella,” which was the fastest-rising single by a debut country act in 2007. Expanding upon his musical talents, that same year he was a celebrity cast member of ABC’s “Dancing with the Stars,” then in its eighth season. Wicks was just recently voted AOL’s Sexiest Country Bachelor and made People Magazine’s Sexiest Guys list.

He is also an avid hunter and can be seen on numerous hunting shows on TV. Acoustic Syndicate - Sat. (Continued on page 21)

The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker - Fri. 7:15-9 p.m.

If the first attention-grabbing horn lines of The Dynamites album "Kaboom!" evoke a dramatic curtain call from a late ’60s funk concert at the Apollo Theater, it’s no accident. After all, that’s exactly where Charles Walker, the band’s singer and front man, first cut his teeth as a performer. When the revolutionary “new bag” now known as funk first made the scene, Walker was right there in the thick of it, opening for the likes of James Brown, Etta James and Wilson Pickett, and imbibing himself in a cultural movement’s genesis.

Devon Allman’s Honeytribe - Sat. 7:15-8:45 p.m.

Slowly building a solid, loyal fan base worldwide over the past decade, Devon Allman and Honeytribe continue building this army one gig at a time.

They have been in constant motion, averaging 250 to 300 shows a year across the globe.

Reflecting on the past, looking towards the future, Allman said, “It’s time for us to really bring our A-game. The three of us have delivered an album we feel is a quantum leap from anything we have recorded in the past. Artists and bands get to the point where you either have to stay in the sandbox or go to beach. And with Space Age Blues, I hope we’ve made that transition.”

Finding itself ever-searching in musical traditions between Delta Blues, Gospel, and Southern Rock, The Shane Pruitt Band embraces in the jam band traditions of improvisation and an everevolving musical experience.

Big Daddy Love (x2) – Fri. 3-4 p.m. (River); Sat. 5:30-6:45 p.m. (Main) Asheville, N.C.’s Big Daddy Love brings a unique and natural blend of jam, grass, roots, and rock to the emerging North Carolina music scene. With fiery vocals, sweet-sugary harmonies, authentic song-craft, and undeniable musicianship, the quintet delivers high-energy performances of “Appalachian Rock” - their own brand of good-time music.

Damon Fowler – Sat. 4-5 p.m.

With his hybrid of roots rock, blues and sacred steel, Florida native Damon Fowler started wowing audiences with his musical exploits as a teenager, building a reputation as one of the hottest young players on the scene. Adding song writing and vocal skills to his repertoire over the years has brought him many accolades, with critics extolling his originality and maturity as well as his technical guitar expertise.

In last year's "Best of Tampa" poll, "Creative Loafing" magazine named him "Best Guitarist... And Slide Guitarist... and Lap Steel Player... And Dobro Player."

TV appearances. Green currently resides in Lake Lure. His unique style of playing incorporates heavy, flat-picking blues and sound scape instrumentals with simultaneous percussion on the soundboard to create a wall of sound. He is often referred to as sounding like two or three guitars.

Green’s music is his own unique weave of deeply textured melody and story. Lyrical and compelling, his original songs are notes of exploration—some passionate and haunting, some hard-driven, others light and teasing. In quiet pieces or pushing right to the edge, Green’s phenomenal playing and rich voice captivate.

Looking back: festival history From humble beginnings in 1994, the Blue Ridge Barbecue Festival in Tryon has grown to be the largest annual event in Polk County, one of the most popular festivals in Western North Carolina and one of the premier barbecue events in the nation.

Around Polk County, the festival is known simply as “The 2x2 2x2 Barbecue,” as in, “Are y’all go4/17 6/11 ing to the Barbecue this year?”

MVSS-029190 MVss-037080 It brings together thousands of Polk County residents who join in to throw an annual party for their regional neighbors.

Planning begins in August for the following year’s event, with a volunteer steering committee brainstorming ways to enhance the experience of the up to 25,000 attendees.

The pace of work gradually builds for 10 months, reaching a peak in the final days leading up to the second week in June.

When the page gates2open on fesMountainViewsunrooMstival Friday, an army of several hundred friendly volunteers is on hand to serve the guests, who have come from as far away as www.99pineypointe.com California, Maine and Florida to experience barbecue in the shadow of the Blue Ridge.

The seeds of the festival date back to 1992, when barbecue legend, Jim Tabb, had the idea of hosting a barbecue cook-off in his hometown. Tabb is a MVSS-029190 MVss-037080

retired airline pilot and internationally acclaimed barbecue judge. By using his connections in the barbecue world, Tabb was able to pull together a field of 24 cook teams and as many judges for the first Blue Ridge Barbecue in 1994.

One secret to this festival’s success has been Jim’s insistence on inviting only the best, most experienced barbecue judges to the event.

This consistent quality of judging gives potential cook teams the assurance that their entries will be judged fairly, without the danger that an inexperienced judge will throw off the results.

The field of competitors has grown each year - with from 70 to 90 participating in recent years. The total prize purse of totaling more than $21,000 doesn’t hurt participation, either.

Obtaining the coveted North Carolina State Championship designation from the Governor added prestige. Former Governor Hunt, then Governor Mike Easley and now, Governor Beverly Perdue, have renewed the championship designation every year. That honor goes to the highest scoring North Carolina team competing.

The 2011 Festival will again offer great music on two stages

Choreographer brings dancers to TFAC in July Hendersonville native Nick Kepley is bringing his newly established New York City dance company, MOTION Dance+Theatre, to North Carolina for a three-week residency, with a special sneak peek offered at Tryon Fine Arts Center on Thursday, July 14 at 7 p.m.

The evening will consist of a panel discussion with Kepley and two other choreographers, excerpted selections of their work and a question and answer session with the audience.

Kepley has danced professionally with Ballet Austin and Kansas City Ballet, performed with the New York Philharmonic as part of PBS’s “Live from Lincoln Center,” and recently finished a two-year run on Broadway in “Mary Poppins.”

He started MOTION last summer as a choreographic laboratory.

“You don’t get to practice the art of choreography very often,”

Kepley said. “Artists can make hundreds of sketches before they create a masterpiece. Writers go through hundreds of edits and drafts. But the art of making dances needs time, space and talent, all of which come at a price.”

Dancers for the project have been selected from companies all across the country, including Ballet Arizona, Colorado Ballet, Kansas City Ballet, LA Ballet and North Carolina Dance Theatre.

The choreographers for this year’s session include Kepley, Hendersonville teacher Sandra Miller and Kansas City Ballet dancer Stayce Camparo.

“Our styles are very different,” Kepley said. “It should make for a very interesting workshop. And it’s really special for me to be able to involve people that I have worked with before and in whose talents I believe so strongly.”

Kepley said the program at TFAC would be a unique op-

portunity for audiences to get an up-close look at what dance is all about. As to exactly what the excerpted works would consist of, he said only time would tell.

“They may be fully developed pieces,” Kepley said, “or they may just be fragments of worksin-progress. I don’t give the choreographers an end goal, I just try to take care of all the details so that they can experiment and create the best art they can, free of expectations.”

The benefits of the program are not exclusive to the choreographers. Kepley explained that many dancers often feel trapped in a box by their directors, who see them day after day and begin to categorize them and limit their repertory, based on what they think their strengths and weaknesses are. He said that MOTION gives them a chance to discover new sides of their artistry.

“We’re interested in furthering

Choreographer and Broadway dancer Nick Kepley. (photo submitted)

the art of dance, encouraging artists to propel dance into the 21st century,” Kepley said. “The only way to do this is by fostering the creative talent of the future, both creatively and monetarily.”

For tickets, contact the box office at 828-859-8322. For further information, visit the company’s website at www.motiondt.com.

Still life by Richard Christian Nelson. (photo submitted)

Nelson offers oil painting workshop beginning June 20 Artist Richard Christian Nelson will be teaching an oil painting workshop focusing on the still life this summer in Tryon.

This workshop takes place June 20 - 24 and will meet Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.

By focusing on simple subjects (which don’t move), participants can hone skills at the complex process of painting with oils and picture making.

In response to many suggestions, Rich is opening this class to young artists who are serious about learning to paint.

There are three teens registered already. Nelson is a profes-

sional portrait and gallery artist.

Nelson says he enjoys learning and growing with other artists.

“I’m especially excited about working with young folks this summer. I’ve done short classes with them over the last five years at Tryon Arts And Crafts and the way they buckle down to learn is really impressive. Once someone has the basic principles, the rest is practicing the process over and over, which is natural if they’re enjoying it,” said Nelson.

“Oh yes, she replied.”

At that point I told her if she also likes to read she should get “The Cat Who” books about two Siamese who solve mysteries.

She thanked me and then told me that she, indeed, was the author.

She added, “At interviews, book signings, etc. I get compliments but yours was unexpected and truly sincere and I shall treasure it.”

I’m sorry, it’s all my fault Last week I was jokingly telling about the kids at FHS complaining that it was their turn. I can’t begin to tell you how right they were.

My dear wife often admonishes me to slow down and I smile as letters, paperwork and slips of calls I need to make are strewn all over.

“I’ll be alright, honey,” I reply.

St. Luke’s Hospital hosts health talk Tuesday, June 14 Dr. Thomas C. Perraut of Blue Ridge Laser Eye Associates will present a free HealthTalk that will help the public see several new options clearly for treatment. The event will take place Tuesday, June 14 from 3 – 4 p.m. in the St. Luke’s Hospital Library. This event will be of particular interest to cataract and glaucoma patients.

In addition, EyeLights Optical Shop, Division of Blue Ridge Laser Eye Associates, will display new prescription and summer eyewear.

Eventually the taxpayers shoulder those costs. This has become ever more evident as time goes on. At some point we must question if it is worth it?

What did the Chamber of Commerce do with the money?

We must seriously wonder if they ever made a profit in view of the community resources impact and long-term growth issues surrounding the ongoing event as an instrument forcing growth year after year. This has become very evident at Harmon Field. Serious questions must be asked and answered by the taxpayers who pay the bills. Not the promoters of the event. We heard from the promoters two years ago when the very talented and able manager of the event, Andy Millard, decided to end the event at Harmon Field as a monetary consideration. Serious questions must be asked now. Harmon Field is not a stadium. The Blue

by Jennifer Wilson Ridge Barbecue cannot continue as a large event at Harmon Field.

As I have researched the matter of our landing zone at Harmon Field being blocked by the event, I have discovered it is a matter imposed on our community. Very much like the alcohol use once a year at Harmon Field.

Blocking the use of the soccer field by the event has not just been missed by the Blue Ridge Barbecue. Is has been dismissed.

Now another serious question must be asked and answered by the citizens of Tryon Township.

Are you angry to see the issue of the emergency landing zone and possible helicopter medical evacuations dismissed for many years by the Blue Ridge Barbecue promoters? Surely you can understand when all is considered the Harmon Field Board has a big decision to make.

Can the Blue Ridge Barbecue continue as the large event requiring off site parking at Harmon Field and blocking that helicopter emergency landing zone? Can we afford the Blue Ridge barbecue for years to come? Can we afford the growth of local government which goes with it?

Take precaution against heat stroke, exhaustion During this time of year many folks start to enjoy more outdoor activities.

That, coupled with the resent heat wave, make for the possibility of two very dangerous health conditions - heat stroke and heat exhaustion.

In today’s column I’d like to go over the signs, symptoms and treatment of these maladies.

Heat stroke is a type of hyperthermia, which is abnormally elevated body temperature. This shouldn’t be confused with hypothermia, where the body’s temperature is abnormally low.

Usually, when body temperature rises, heat dissipates by either radiating throughout the skin or by evaporation of sweat from the skin. However, when these mechanisms fail

may not be able to sweat fast enough to dissipate body heat. Take frequent breaks to hydrate yourself. Wear hats and lightweight, loose fitting clothing. Get plenty of electrolytes like potassium, sodium and calcium.

Now, let’s turn our attention to heat exhaustion.

Heat exhaustion is a heat related illness that can occur when one has been exposed to high temperatures, usually for several days, and sweated enough to experience dehydration. There are two types of heat exhaustion. Symptoms of water depletion include excessive thirst, headache, weakness and sometimes loss of consciousness.

There is also salt depletion, which involves symptoms (Continued on page 51)

Pachanga

Pachanga performs June 12 The June “Music by the Lake” concert at Blue Ridge Community College will present Pachanga on Sunday, June 12 from 5 - 7 p.m.

Pachanga, the Latin sound of the low country, is a three-piece band from Bluffton, S.C., that started in 2003 as a percussion band playing African and Latin rhythms (Afro-Cuban) using various instruments such as congas, bongos, shakers, cowbells, maracas and cajon.

The following year they chose to become more than a percussion band adding keyboards and vocals and evolving into Pachanga.

Musicians in the band are Juan Buzo on drums and vocals, Jesus Hernandez on keyboard and vocals and Fuzzy Davis on percussion and vocals.

In recent years they have been playing only Latin rhythms, all music you can

dance to, such as salsa, merengue, cumbia and bolero. They often perform the music of musicians such as Ricky Martin, Celia Cruz, Santana, Angeles Azules, Sonora Santanera, Joe Arroyo, Sonora Dinamita and Buena Vista Social Club.

Pachanga chooses to play a variety of selections, the classics, new, old and the most popular songs to which audiences enjoy listening and dancing.

The public is invited to bring a picnic and lawn chairs to enjoy an evening of music with friends and family beside the college lake. In the event of inclement weather, the concert will take place in the Thomas Auditorium in the Sink Building.

Q. How do I evaluate a corporate trustee?

A. Talk to several. ask how long the trust department or company has been in business, how many trusts do they manage, minimum and average sizes of the trusts and how much experience the staff has.

Compare investment returns and fees. ask to see samples of statements or reports and see if you understand them clearly.

Facts are important, so are the people. Do they seem to care? Do they listen? How comfortable are you that they will be there for your family when needed. remember, a corporate trustee need not be the sole trustee. If you are concerned about the “human” touch, you can always appoint a co-trustee who is a family member or friend.
