The auction date was set during a hearing Thursday, Jan. 26.

TR&HC staff members recently moved into their new

offices at the Green Creek Equestrian Park after getting word that the bank holding the loan on their location in Tryon would foreclose on the property.

Director Laura Weicker said the board was sent the official notice back in December after

a year of trying to work toward a payment solution for the loan.

“You hate that it’s gotten to this point – by no means is this where we thought we would be,” Weicker said. “When we (Continued on page 5)

Polk employee raise likely next fiscal year

by Leah Justice

After four years without a salary increase, Polk County employees may see a bump in salaries next fiscal year.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners held a budget retreat Monday, Jan. 23 and discussed a possible 2.5 percent salary increase.

When and exactly how much

the increase will be is still in question as some commissioners are proposing giving a 2.5 percent increase on July 1, when the new budget year begins, and another 1.5 percent on Jan. 1, 2013.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson proposed giving a 2.5 percent increase beginning on Jan. 1, 2013, which would cost approximately $87,000 in next

year’s budget. Granting the additional 2.5 percent increase on July 1 would cost approximately $174,000.

“These people haven’t gotten an increase in three, close to four years,” said commissioner Ted Owens. “I propose 2.5 percent in July and another 1.5 percent (Continued on page 4)

TACS offers fused art glass lamp workshop Feb. 17-19 Tryon Arts and Crafts School will offer an art glass lamp weekend workshop, taught by Slumpy’s on the Road, in which you are invited to create your own art glass lamp or vase. The workshop will be held on Feb. 17-19.

The method used to make the glass shade is called glass fusing.

The artist layers different colors of transparent, translucent and iridescent glass in sheet, stringer and chip form. The layered glass is then heated in a kiln until it fuses into a sheet. The next step is to lay the sheet over a stainless steel form and return it to the kiln. This time the glass is heated until it softens enough to slump over the form, creating the lamp shade or vase shape. The finished one-of-a-kind glass shade can then be installed in a hanging pendant lamp or a table lamp fixture, which will be available in the workshop.

If you want to take the handmade idea to the next level, keep your eye peeled for a future work-

shop at Tryon Arts and Craft’s forge in which you can make a forged iron lamp base to use with your lamp shade.

Friday night, Feb. 17, from 6-8 p.m. will be a meet and greet with a brief discussion on design, color and planning. Students will have a chance to start their design that evening. Saturday’s session, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., will be the day when the students assemble their base sheets and load them into the kilns. On Sunday, the students will see their fused sheets, drill any holes required for a lamp fitting, and select a form on which to shape their shade. Sunday will also feature a review and discussion of technical information.

This workshop is being put on by Slumpy’s: The Glass Mold Company out of Charlotte, a supplier of glass, molds and equipment for fused glass artists.

Advance registration for all classes and workshops is required.

• Raises

Owens’ proposed increases would be paid for.

“What would you cut to find that money?” McDermott asked.

“I wouldn’t cut anything,” commissioner Tom Pack said.

“We had a surplus this year. We really took in $1.6M more than

we had budgeted, so I don’t think we need to cut anything besides taxes.”

Commissioner Cindy Walker said she likes the idea of implementing increases in July rather than waiting a year.

“I don’t know about another one percent, but I do like 2.5 percent and I like doing it in July,” Walker said.

Whitson also discussed implementing raises as in previous years, contingent on evaluations.

Scoring well on performance would mean an employee gets the raise, while not scoring well on an evaluation means the employee does not get a raise.

Commissioner chair Ray Gasperson recommended that Whitson prepare two to three different budget drafts to see how increases can be achieved.

Gasperson said he doesn’t think anyone is debating that it’s been a long time since employees have had an increase, but commissioners need to keep in mind the increase in costs will be ongoing through future budgets.

Gasperson said there has been a $1.6 million increase to the budget since 2006 for employee costs such as insurance and retirement.

“That was huge and yet we have absorbed that and it is an ongoing cost,” Gasperson said.

“We have to look at ongoing costs and how it’s sustainable in the budget.”

Whitson is scheduled to present a balanced budget to commissioners on May 7. Commissioners will hold a budget work session to discuss the draft on May 14 at 5 p.m.

(continued from page 1)

in January for a total of four percent. That comes out to an average of one percent per year.”

Commissioner vice-chair Renée McDermott asked how

Local students graduate from Western Carolina University Western Carolina University conferred degrees on approximately 562 students who completed their studies during the fall semester. Of the undergraduates, 33 graduated summa cum laude (with highest honors), 51 graduated magna cum laude (with high honors) and 68 graduate cum laude (with honors).

Among those graduating were Kristin N. Houser-Wood of Mill Spring, who received a master of science degree in human resources, and Jonathan Baxter Wilson of Mill Spring, who received a B.S. in physical education.

TR&HC addresses community on club’s finances, office move Editor’s note: The following is a letter sent by Tryon Riding & Hunt Club board members to members, friends and the community in general.

Dear Friends and Supporters, The Tryon Riding and Hunt Club (TRHC), now in its 87th year, has been an active and sound community organization for the Polk County and surrounding region for decades.

From annual events, the TR&HC has been able to donate back to community organizations such as FENCE, Rotary, Boy Scouts, local fire departments, etc. in substantial ways. Now it finds itself in an unenviable position like many other non-profits around the nation.

Historical annual events such as the Block House Steeplechase, the Summer Horse Shows, the

Any and All Dog Show and Fall Horse Trials, great traditions in the community, have seen a decrease in participation due to the economic downturn. A direct impact has been a decline in donations. Without firm and focused leadership, these events could not have continued well in the past few years.

Prior to this downturn the TRHC found it necessary to find a permanent site for the administrative and volunteer office. The officers and Board of Directors felt it necessary for the ‘every day running’ of the organization, while providing a secure home to numerous historical artifacts. The result was a commercial building purchased in 2007 at 289 S. Trade Street. A commercial loan from

bought the property it was a good investment, but then the economy tanked. It’s just been a hard situation.”

The loan was originally made under Carolina First, which is now owned by TD Bank. The local branch in Tryon switched over to the new bank in June 2011.

Weicker said the board sent in four proposals to TD Bank in an effort to work on the loan, without any cooperation for a solution from the bank.

TR&HC had worked out of its Tryon office for four years, purchasing the property in 2007.

TR&HC’s new mailing and physical address is 6985 S. N.C. Hwy 9, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

The office numbers are 828-8596109 and 828-863-0480; fax number 828-863-0482.

Weicker asks that anyone who received a Block House Steeplechase invitation note that the fax number listed on the invitation is incorrect. There was a mix-up

WHERE WE WORK An in-depth look at an area business

PERSON FEATURED: June Beddingfield BUSINESS: Seasons Home Care Inc. ADDRESS: Valley Plaza Suite 4, 2060 Lynn Rd., Columbus PHONE NUMBER: 828-859-0147 OPERATING HOURS: Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.

EMAIL ADDRESS: seasonshomecare@windstream.net NATURE OF BUSINESS: Home care PRINCIPAL OWNER/MANAGER AND TITLE: June Beddingfield, president YEAR FOUNDED: 2011 NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES: 12 HOW’S BUSINESS? It’s beginning, ready to take off. But I’m not in charge, God is.

ONE THING YOU WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS: That I’ve been in home care since 1994. I have been managing home care since 2003. I feel it’s my life calling. We are a non-profit and we’ll be here forever. It’s not my company – it’s Polk County’s.

SOMETHING YOU OFFER THAT A CUSTOMER WON’T FIND ELSEWHERE: Offering local home care to local people. There are plenty of national companies, but

we’re the only local one and I think that’s very important.

ADVICE TO YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS: Take your time. What you love in your 20s, you may not love in your 40s and beyond.

MY FIRST JOB: My first real job was researching land deeds in Henderson County. But I really started picking beans for my dad for $0.25 a bushel.

Hannon Hauling celebrates 100 years in business On Feb. 1, Hannon Hauling celebrates 100 years of continuous service to the community.

The business was started by the late William H. Hannon (patriarch of the Hannon family) on Feb. 1, 1912 with a horse and buggy.

In those early years he hauled bodies for McFarland Funeral

Home.

Wi l l i a m purchased his first truck in 1925. In 1929, he delivered the first printing press to the Tryon Daily Bulletin.

Wi l l i a m continued to serve the community with his garbage and hauling business, along with delivering laundry his wife, Mabel Hannon, would wash

for the customers on his route.

In 1949, William’s son, Edgar Hannon, joined the business and began helping his father. Edgar took over in November of 1952, when William died.

Over the next several years, the business continued to thrive. Edgar eventually purchased bigger trucks and a couple of moving vans.

In 1994, William’s grandson, Jamal Hannon, began helping with the business. In recent years, great-grandsons Brook and Julius Hannon

Obituaries

Bill Terwilliger Roger William (Bill) Terwilliger died peacefully at home on Jan. 26, 2012. Bill was born March 30, 1918 in Rock County, Wisc. to Fay Leon Terwilliger and Stella Beggs Terwilliger. He graduated from DeKalb Township High School in DeKalb, Ill., received his baccalaureate from Northern Illinois University and his masters from The University of Wisconsin. Bill married Harriett Carlson on Dec. 24, 1942.

His two children, John Landis Terwilliger of Troy, Ohio and Cynthia Stell Terwilliger of Tryon; his daughter-in-law, Chris Terwilliger, and his grandsons, Matthew Landis Terwilliger and Luke William Terwilliger, both of Columbus, Ohio, survive him.

He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, George Lan-

Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper Monday, January 30, 2012

dis Terwilliger, and his sisters, Harriet Terwilliger Hunt and Mary Terwilliger Miller, all of DeKalb, Ill. A 1936 graduate of DeKalb Township High School, Bill was an outstanding athlete, winning four letters in football and basketball and three in track. He was recognized for his achievements his junior and senior year by selection to 1st team All-NCIC in both football and basketball.

His crowning achievement his senior year was winning the Illinois State Track Championship 100-yard dash in 9.8 seconds.

Bill had a brilliant collegiate athletic career at Northern Illinois State Teachers College (now Northern Illinois University).

He won letters in track and basketball. He established records in the 100-yard, 220-yard and 44-yard dash and anchored the record-setting relay team. These records stood for more than 25 years, when the cinder track was moved to the metered all-weather track surface in 1966. In 1941 Bill played center on Northern’s Little Nineteen Conference Championship team.

He was inducted to the honorary AAU All American Track

and Field Team in 1941 and 1942. Bill won the AAU National decathlon championship in 1942, a combined event in athletics consisting of ten track and field events held over two days. Traditionally, the winner is known at the nation’s best athlete.

In 1983, Bill was selected for the NIU Athletic Hall of Fame and was selected for the NIU All-Century Basketball Team in 2001. He was the oldest living member of the Hall of Fame.

Bill earned his private pilot’s license in 1940 and served during WWII in the Army Air Corp as a B-25 pilot and instructor. He was named outstanding cadet in his squadron. He served in the Air Force reserves and attained the rank of captain.

Terwilliger was the owner of Terwilliger’s Athletics, Inc., an athletic supply store in DeKalb, Ill. and also had gift shops on Mackinac Island, Mich. In 1973, he was one of the founding board members of the American National Bank of DeKalb. In 1974, Terwilliger received the NIU Alumni-Varsity Citizens Award for outstanding achievement in a profession or occupation other

than the field of education.

Bill and Harriett retired to their farm in Hunting Country, Polk County in 1980. They spent summers on Mackinac Island, Mich. for more than 30 years until 2002. On Mackinac, Bill served on the board of Wawaskamo Golf Club, was active in the Mackinac Horseman’s Association, was a member of the Little Stone Church and was on the Mackinac Island Airport Commission.

Over the years Bill was active in the Carolina Carriage Club, FETA, Tryon Hounds, The Cotillion, The Golden Circle Club, Red Fox Country Club, Tryon Country Club and Meals on Wheels. He was a member of the Columbus United Methodist Church.

A memorial service will be held at the Columbus United Methodist Church at a future time to be announced. The family asks that memorials be made to Hospice of the Carolina Foothills or the Mackinac Island Horseman’s Association.

Focusing on the budget, how much will this cost?

In the last article we shared the steps for developing the seventh step of the proposal process – the organizational information of the narrative. In this article we will continue to talk about the steps for writing a successful grant, but focusing on the budget.

You want to make sure to spend a lot of time on the budget section of the grant proposal.

Many organizations and grant writers, including me, have been eliminated because of careless mistakes in the budget.

Common mistakes are: not having multiple people proof or check the math long hand, not considering all the expenses and shortchanging the organization and making the spreadsheet to complicated to follow.

Remember many foundation directors, their committee and board members are trained to read financials and budgets.

They can usually spot differences within financials or budgets very quickly.

As we have mentioned in early articles, foundations are now seeing a large increase in proposals and have to have some way to narrow the funding field, and a poorly created budget is a great place to start.

The first question to answer with the budget is how much

• Cardinals (continued from page 14)

Cardinal senior Danny Seay (152) won by forfeit against SCSDB and then beat St. Joseph’s Connor Bolick by decision. Seay has started the last two seasons for the Cardinals and said he likes the feeling of winning region championships, but the Cardinals have their eyes on bigger prizes.

“Right now our main focus is on upper state,” he said. “We’re excited about what the possibilities are.”

The Cardinals will wrestle in the region meet next Wednesday at Christ Church. The 1A playoffs will be on Feb. 3.

Nonprofit Leadership Melissa Le Roy

will this proposal cost? Start with a short budget that list income and expenses. Income listed in the budget should include contributed income such as donations, committed funds from other foundations, in-kind contributions (volunteer time, supply donations, advertising, use of a building or room) and earned income. Expenses listed in the budget should include personnel, fringe benefits, travel, equipment, direct project expenses, supplies and administrative or overhead expenses.

I know a lot of you are reading this and saying to yourself, but foundations don’t fund personnel, administrative or overhead costs. All the same you need to list them if not to show the foundation, but to give you and your

organization a complete picture if additional non-restricted monies are needed to be raised before the project can be sustainable and successful.

The next step is to present the budget in a consistent and professional fashion. Make sure you print the budget on a new page (by itself). Ensure that the figures are aligned properly.

Again, I cannot stress this enough – double and triple check the figures in the budget. Include headings, preferably in bold type, for all columns. Examples of headings: pending funding, committed funds, local contributions, individual donations, budget type and project total.

Have at least three volunteers or staff members look at the budget to make sure it is easy to read and understand before submitting the grant.

The next article will continue the steps for writing the grant, focusing on the final step of the grant – putting it all together.
