Harmon Field considers expansion

by Leah Justice

Tryon officials are considering selling the Harmon Field community center building to purchase two acres and a house adjacent to the equestrian side of the park.

Tryon Town Council met Tuesday, Oct. 18 and heard from Harmon Field Parks and Recre-

ation Supervisor George Alley regarding the possibility.

Alley said he wants to do a study on the positive and negative aspects of the expansion, and councilman Austin Chapman volunteered to help.

One issue with selling the community center building is the

the funding. “(The grant agency) purposely makes the process very hard because they would prefer funds not be converted,” said Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree.

Specifically, the state requires that money made from the sale of the building be used to purchase additional land for new recreational opportunities.

In 2008 Tryon Arts and Crafts (TAC), which owns the building adjacent to the community center, offered to buy the community center building, but the town could not come up with a state approved use for the money at the time.

TAC had planned at the time to purchase the building with grant funding and lease it to Tryon Little Theater. Alley told council TAC does not seem interested in the purchase now, but there has been other interest in the building.

Another issue could be that the properties are not valued equally. The community center building was appraised a few years ago at $265,000 and the property being considered for purchase, known as the Leonard property, is valued at $182,000, Tryon officials said Tuesday.

Alley reviewed preliminary pros and cons regarding each property and obstacles the town will face with keeping the community center building or renovating the Leonard property.

Alley said the pros of owning the community center building include that youth programs use the building, that it produces rental income and that the building is used for the Blue Ridge Barbecue Festival. The cons include the building’s need for a new roof within five years, new HVAC within five years and parking lot maintenance.

Another negative is that the building is “an energy hog,” Alley said.

Councilman Roy Miller asked what the estimated costs are for the repairs of the community center building.

Alley said approximately $30,000 for a new roof and $15,000 for central heat and air conditioning. He said sometimes in winter months Harmon Field will receive a $1,000 power bill, but Harmon Field receives rent year-round and there are a couple available rooms that could be rented. TAC rents one room for operations and another for storage; other rooms are rented for karate and afterschool and summer camp programs.

The advantages of buying the Leonard property include that the land is contiguous to the park and there are varying use possibilities, including a possible expansion of the equestrian facility and/or space for a recreational vehicle park.

The property could also provide additional restrooms and new partnerships and it includes U.S. 176 commercial property, as well as historical value. Alley also mentioned possibilities for the approximately 2,000-squarefoot house, including using it to host weddings or as a rental property.

Cons for acquiring the Leonard property include the expense to rehabilitate the house, the need for a bridge to be constructed over the creek for access, Harmon Field needing additional help (another half employee) and the state conversion process.

Alley said he wants to create a study committee and research grants with plans to submit a preliminary report to council during the December council meeting. He said one important question is what is the big picture for the town. He said he feels like the town needs to decide what it wants Harmon Field to be in 15 to 20 years.

Alley plans to give an update to town council at the Nov. 15 meeting.

The school’s teachers and staff spent two days at FENCE this summer developing core ideas.

They also determined a need to work on student leadership, reintroduce Science Olympiad and Model UN and attract increased parental involvement.

“We have a happy group of kids – if you don’t believe it come watch them as they come into class,” she said. “We are just tackling some tough issues right now – one of those is homework.”

Superintendent Miller commended Polk Middle for its focus on improvement, especially in the areas of student leadership and homework.

Saluda Elementary Saluda Elementary School Principal Ronette Dill spoke to board members about her school’s efforts to bolster students’ ability across the board through hands-on activities, individualized attention and A+ principles of reinforcing subjects one with another.

“We were not as pleased with our reading scores last year as we were with our math so we have a big focus on reading this year,” Dill said.

Dill said they were able to enhance students’ math aptitude by having a counselor with a math background serve as a one-on-one tutor for students who had holes in their math understanding.

To improve writing and reading, Saluda now has its students use writing journals in all subjects.

In science, students are focusing on hands-on projects such as taking digital cameras outside to photograph examples of erosion and sedimentation.

Art teacher Susan McRostie discussed how the school plans to improve reading levels.

“We now have Book Club time – 30 minutes every morning – targeting specific reading skills broken up in very small groups.

We aim to focus on reading and the level they are currently in, not their age level,” McRostie said.

salforg - page 11

She added that the P.E. teacher, technology assistant and other staff are all taking part in giving students individualized attention in this area.

At Saluda School, this year’s theme is, “Small kids can do big things.”

Sunny View Elementary Sunny View Elementary is working to broaden its students’ horizons in creative ways this year, according to principal Kevin Weis.

The class took a recent schoolwide trip to Ripley’s Aquarium in Gatlinburg, where they saw sharks, penguins and stingrays, among other sea creatures. (See Friday’s Bulletin for a feature on the trip.)

Parents are also beginning to recognize the benefits of Sunny View’s after-school program, Weiss said. The program provides an extra hour for students to spend with teachers for focused intervention-type work. About 90 percent of teachers at Sunny View currently participate in the program.

While focusing on specialized instruction, subject matter covered in the classroom encourages students to think broadly.

“We’re doing things that allow our students to experience the world,” Weis said.

The school has found ways to introduce students to other cultures. They’ve put into place a system that allows video-conferencing with students around world. Second-grade students even talked to scientists in the jungles of Bornia about orangutans earlier this year. Kindergarteners meanwhile interacted with another classroom of students in Central America last spring to discuss language.

Weis said all teachers and staff focus on pushing the kids to crave knowledge.

“If there is one thing we can do – and I really took this to heart – it is to teach kids to love to learn,” Weis said. “It’s our job to create that thirst for knowledge.”

Tryon Elementary Principal Ott Sizemore presented Tryon Elementary’s school improvement plan for the first time as principal of the school. Sizemore said he felt proud to carry on the school’s legacy of excellence.

Teacher Debbie Constance talked to the board about adding a family write night, Octoberfest, Ole Time Christmas, 50s sock-hop and other events to connect family members with the school.

She also talked about how the school currently has a goal for students to read 1 million minutes at home.

Teachers are also encouraging students to think about the theme, “How full is your bucket?” This encourages the kids to write nice things to each other or teachers to fill their bucket.

Sizemore said while they are implementing many new events to connect the community with the school, they are also pushing forward with efforts to improve in-classroom learning. This is especially true, he said, in relation to preparing teachers and students for use of the state’s new common core standards.

Polk County High School Administrators at Polk County High School have plans to do everything they can to better prepare their students for the world outside.

Pat McCool discussed pride about the school’s efforts to keep the dropout rate below 4 percent for Polk County High School. McCool also brought up efforts to use staff development to implement common core standards.

The school is also encouraging teachers to use global issues through lessons to help kids compete globally. This includes sending several staff members to China to bring back knowledge of that culture to students.

Students must also now look to take the ACT instead of the SAT for college placement. Every junior will now take the test in the spring so staff members at PCHS are working to learn all they can

about the test to make adjustments that might help their students achieve higher scores.

“We are well aware we always want to look our best on paper, but we also want to make sure in reality our students are learning what they need to know,” Fagin said.

Administrators are also working to get a website up and running that will allow parents to access their child’s grades. They hope to have that available by Christmas.

Fagin said staff members are also focusing on career and technical education.

“We are always looking at courses to make sure what is offered is current and up to date and useful,” she said.

Polk County Virtual Early College Polk Counmty Virtual Early College Director Mary Greene said students at the early college ranked their school environment high on a recent Youth Truth Survey.

Students gave the school a score of 4.9 out of 5 for being safe and orderly. The students’ answers to questions about home and family life did, however, concern Greene. She noted that 40 percent of the students said their home life was an obstacle to their education.

“They ask to stay late after school – they ask to come in on Saturdays,” she said. “They are working on school work, they are asking us questions – sometimes about personal things that you would normally expect them to ask their parents but they do not.

We’re filling that void in their home life as well.”

Early college staff members are working with students to be model citizens. The students are collecting funds for Thermal Belt Outreach Ministries.

Students are also attending anger management sessions with Step to Hope – not because the kids are bad, Greene said, but because “everyone has angry people come in and out of their lives and we all need to know how to deal with those people.”

Greene said the school is working to boost parent involvement.

In Mathew 4 Jesus said, “it is written” more than once, claiming the accuracy of the Old Testament.

Original manuscripts: No other book has more than 5,000 original complete or large portions preserved like the Bible. It also has several more thousand fragments and portions of the original still in existence. Other books of that time only have a very few of the originals left. The Dead Sea Scrolls, in comparison, had no major differences.

Even though the Bible’s 66 books were written by many authors over thousands of years, there are no major discrepancies that change the overall messages in the book. Only God could do that through disagreeing man.

How can we know what is really true? What about the statement, “The Bible is full of errors”?

Have you ever read the whole Bible for yourself?

Here are just a few morsels of food for thought that may tempt you to search the scriptures in a new light.

Heyday of Polk’s Skyuka and Oak Hall hotels One of my favorite cousins has bought a “mountain cabin” on White Oak near the site of the long gone Skyuka Hotel. The picture “came with the house,” and she has shared it with me. The hotel had white siding, so it was visible from down here even when the trees were fully leafed out for summer.

The hotel enjoyed high occupancy in its heyday as shown (right), but later on my friend Howard Williams’ family lived in the building as caretakers. When local businessman Tom Costa bought the property, he dismantled and sold its carcass for at least three local houses. I remember seeing its remains on a hike and him at Sunnydale, Tryon’s “Night marveling that the pencil marks of Club” (log building next to Dollar its builders were still visible on its General) built and run by Ernest framing. The Spartanburg YMCA Kerhulas for many years.

Fran and I stayed at Oak Hall built Camp Skyuka next on the site, and its buildings have been turned once just for the experience. Clara into residences, one of which my Edwards was keeping it going then, and noted that there was no cousin’s family now enjoys.

Another huge frame hotel telephone in the room, but one was available in the was central to life in Tryon Remember hall. She also offered to try for many years.

When to find a room Oak Hall was door key if we

by Garland built by Tryon’s Goodwin wanted one; we first mayor, T. T. declined and Ballenger, and commanded a magnificent view slept well.

The food and service in the dinfrom atop the hill now covered with condos. Its gravel driveway ing room were exceptional, as the entrance was like a continuation staff had been there as long as anyone could remember. As a youth of Melrose Avenue.

The roster of notables who I read an essay to the combined stayed at Oak Hall or lived there Rotary and Kiwanis clubs meetis impressive. The widows of ing in the large dining room; later President Coolidge and General Fran and I both enjoyed wonderful George Marshall lived there for luncheons there as invited guests.

Hotel Tryon (now Town Hall) years. The Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs met there every week, and should also be mentioned as anKiwanian Howard Greene had other fine place to stay and dine. to go early because a short visit Mary Danis was in charge of the with the aforementioned ladies dining room; her brother ran the was mandatory. Mrs. Marshall hotel. Mary was one of “the Girls,” was sure that former Army Ranger Aunt Mildred’s circle of friends Greene was one of her husband’s that we met weekly for breakfast, who took turns having the rest of buddies.

F. Scott Fitzgerald was in resi- us over for dinner. She was a redence at Oak Hall for most of a ally “good cooker,” as our son still winter and is said to have worked says of Fran.

The Boxwood Inn was another on “The Great Gatsby” while there. Aunt Mildred danced with fine inn in its day (the Columbus

Skyuka Hotel

Fire Station is on its site now).

When Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone came through here on their famous odyssey, they stayed at the Boxwood Inn. When my mother, then a little girl, was invited to sit on Edison’s lap, he gave her a quarter!

Fortunately, we still have local

inns that continue the tradition of quiet elegance of Oak Hall, but in a smaller venue. Would that we could still enjoy Oak Hall’s big dining room with white linen and white coated waiters, huge veranda with view, subdued lighting in a big lobby, and creaky floors throughout!
