Tryon petitions state to de-annex propertyby Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon approved Tuesday, Dec. 21 a resolution to petition the state to de-annex the property on U.S. 176 occupied by the Frog & Swan antique store, owned by Randall Grobe.

Grobe owns two parcels and asked the town in March of this year to de-annex them, saying he had not received services he was promised.

Grobe said he never wanted to be voluntarily annexed. He said he feels as though former town manager Jim Fatland promised him services, such as sidewalks and other improvements, that he never received.

Grobe was one of a handful of property owners who agreed to be voluntarily annexed into the town based on services the town expected to be able to provide us-

ing funds from sources that never materialized.

In 2006, the town proposed a tax increment financing (TIF) district along U.S. 176, which would have made some tax funds available to be used for improve-ments in the area.

In 2004, North Carolina voters approved Amendment No. One,

Surgeon to join Holleman Surgical, St. Luke’s Hospital

General surgeon F. Augustus “Gus” Dozier, MD, of Atlanta, Ga., and Highlands, N.C., has joined Dr. Jim Holleman of Hol-leman Surgical to provide ex-panded services to Polk County and the surrounding area. Dr. Dozier brings 36 years of ex-perience to Holleman Surgical and St. Luke’s Hospital where he will provide emergency and acute surgical care. He will be available to see new patients on Jan. 17, 2011.

Dr. Dozier joined the St. Luke’s Physician Network and the medical staff of St. Luke’s Hospital after serving patients at Highlands Cashiers Hospi-tal (HCH), where he met and worked with Ken Shull, former CEO of HCH. Shull is now president/chief executive officer of St. Luke’s.

“I am fortunate to work in such a caring atmosphere where patients are first and quality care is foremost,” Dr. Dozier said. “Jim Holleman has provided e x c e p t i o n a l surgical servic-es to this com-munity, and I am pleased to join him and d e v o t e m y abilities to help patients seek care closer to home, friends and family.”

At St. Luke’s, Dr. Dozier will practice a full range of gen-eral and laparoscopic surgery with a focus on breast care for women.

Dr. Dozier remains on the staff of Emory Midtown Hos-pital (formerly Crawford Long) in Atlanta. He completed his general surgery residency at Georgia Baptist Medical Center (now Atlanta Medical Center) and is assistant clinical profes-sor of surgery at the Medical College of Georgia. While

teaching surgical residents at Georgia Baptist, he was named Surgical Attending of the Year.

Dr. Dozier is certified by the American Board of Surgery with additional certification in advanced trauma and is a fellow of the American College of Sur-geons. In addition he served as a

commander in the U.S. Naval Reserve for 10 years.

Shull said he is pleased Dr. Dozier is j o i n i n g D r. Holleman.

“For years, Jim has been our communi-ty’s only local, full-time gen-

eral surgeon, and he deserves some assistance with after hours and emergency calls,” Shull said. “Gus will truly be an asset to our community, not only for his skills and experience, but also for his rapport with patients and staff. He will truly add value to St. Luke’s Hospital.”

Dr. Dozier and Shull worked together for three years to ad-vance accessibility and quality at HCH, and Dr. Dozier said he looks forward to working with

which is a method of financing that gives local governments a tool to bring new jobs and revital-ization to their communities.

Constitutional Amendment One permits local governments to issue bonds without a referendum for a variety of public improve-ments such as streets, sidewalks, utilities, street lighting and parking that businesses often require in or-der to locate in a community. Cities are then required to pay the bonds with the increased tax revenues generated by those improvements, according to the North Carolina Department of State Treasurer.

The program never panned out for Tryon, so funding for the improvements did not become available.

Resident Bill Crowell dis-

agreed with council’s decision to petition the state to de-annex the property. Crowell said the town will eventually grow that way (toward the valley) and hopefully one day there will be sidewalks all the way to Harmon Field.

Crowell said there are people in town who were promised sewer years ago and still don’t have it, and he pointed out that Grobe gets police protection whether he’s in the city or not. He also said Tryon needs all the revenue it can get.

“(Grobe) knew the risk when he annexed,” Crowell said.

The resolution approved Tues-day seeks a local act of the North Carolina General Assembly to approve the deannexation of the Grobe property. The town will give the resolution to Rep. David Guice and Sen. Tom Apodaca and ask them to sponsor a local bill.

The Town of Tryon approved a resolution this week seeking a local bill from state legislature to de-annex the Frog and Swan. Owner Randy Grobe requested the de-annexation, saying when he agreed to be voluntarily annexed into town a few years ago he was promised improvements that never were made. (photo by Leah Justice)

Polk County High to play Lakeview Academy Jan. 8

Polk County High School boys and girls basketball teams will play Lakeview Academy of Gaines-ville, Ga., on Saturday, Jan. 8 at Polk High. The girls’ game will begin at 4 p.m., and the boys will play at 5:30 p.m.

Lakeview Academy’s coach Seth Vining, who grew up in Polk County and graduated from Tryon High School, is the son of Bos Vin-ing and the late Seth Vining Jr.

Vining is in his 36th year of coaching and has earned a life total

of 693 wins. This year, he ruptured his patel-

la tendon just as the current season was getting ready to begin. The injury put him in a wheelchair, but

that hasn’t stopped him from coaching. He may not have his

normal mobility, but with the help of a group of assistant coaches he has coached his team to a winning start.

For more information about the game, contact Polk County High School at 828-894-2525.

“I have high admiration for Ken as a person and particularly as a hospital administrator,” Dr. Dozier said. “He is largely why I considered resettling in Polk County. And after meeting Dr. Holleman, I am very confident that we share the same philoso-phy in caring for our patients.”

Determined from a young age to become a doctor, Dr. Dozier received his undergradu-ate degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1967 and graduated from the Medi-cal College of Georgia in 1974. While in medical school, he held seven jobs to support his young family and fulfill his dreams of practicing medicine. Dr. Dozier completed his residency in 1979 and practiced and taught in At-lanta until moving to practice in North Carolina.

Norfolk Southern charts new course for steam program

Sixteen years after Norfolk Southern (NS) dropped its cor-porate mainline steam excursion program, the big Eastern carrier said it’s time to run steam again. This time, it’ll run in partnership with Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, and involve a limited number of appearances and ex-cursions.

The first mainline steam excur-sions could return to NS rails in TVRM’s Chattanooga hometown this fall, employing coal-burning locomotives that were part of the Southern Railway, and later NS, steam program that ran from 1966 to 1994.

The new program, called 21st Century Steam, marks a modest, more compact return to steam-powered public relations for NS, which sees the need for all the friends it can get as talk of reregulation continues to swirl in Washington, public money

flows to several of its major infrastructure projects, and one of its bedrock sources of traffic, coal, remains under fire on envi-ronmental grounds.

There’s also a cadre of top executives at NS, including chair-man and CEO Wick Moorman, who see the corporate benefit to showing up with tangible evi-dence about why railroads, then and now, are cool. Those southern painted F9s on the office car train have been a huge hit for NS.

“We have a fascinating his-tory, and we have a compelling message about how today’s rail-roads support jobs, competition, and the economy,” Moorman said. “It is a forward-looking mes-sage that resonates with people everywhere.”

This version of NS steam won’t look like the last one in

many years. You won’t see an extensive, every-weekend lineup of trips like before. A contractor, TVRM, will provide the shop and the product with NS financial sup-port. Headlining the show will be three veteran locomotives.

• Southern Railway 2-8-2 No. 4501, the 1911 Baldwin that began the Southern excursions in 1966, last ran in 1998, and requires a complete overhaul at TVRM, which owns the Mikado. TVRM President Tim Andrews said the engine could be made ready to run in a year if enough laborers are assigned to the re-build.

• Southern Railway 2-8-0 No. 630, a 1904 Alco product that also ran on Southern excursions from 1968 to 1978. An exten-sive six-year rehabilitation to Federal Railroad Administration standards is set for completion

at TVRM’s Soule Shops with a target date of September.

• Tennessee Valley Railroad 2-8-0 No, 610, a 1952 Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton product for the U.S. Army. This engine has been the mainstay of TVRM steam operations since 1990. It also appeared on several Norfolk Southern steam excursions from 1990-1993 and is due for its boiler inspections this year.

The launch of 21st Century Steam will coincide with key dates. The year 2011 will be the 4501’s 100th birthday and TVRM’s 50th, while 2012 will mark Norfolk Southern’s 30th anniversary. Exhibit dates, tick-eting, and other details will be announced later. NS and TVRM will launch a website to sup-port the program. For now, the company will respond to emails addressed to [email protected].

Polk Blood drives in JanuaryCelebrate National Blood Donor Month

Throughout the month of Janu-ary, the American Red Cross cele-brates the contributions of thousands of volunteer blood donors in our area who give the gift of life with every blood donation.

January has been designated Na-tional Blood Donor Month to raise awareness of blood donation during the time of year when blood supplies often fall to their lowest levels.

Donations traditionally decline during the post-holiday season, due to busy schedules and inclement weather which can prevent people from keeping donation appoint-ments. At the same time, the need for blood remains constant in the early months of the year.

Giving blood is a way to support the community by helping to ensure that a stable inventory is available

for premature babies, cancer pa-tients, or the many people who suffer accidents and other illnesses which may require transfusions.

National Blood Donor Month not only honors those who give blood each year, but is also a time to educate and encourage new donors about the importance of giv-ing blood. Blood has a shelf life of only 42 days, and, therefore, must continually be replenished. Donors can give blood every 56 days, or up to six times a year.

This year, you can make a differ-ence. All it takes is your willingness to help someone in need and a pint of your blood. Most healthy people age 17 and older, or 16 with paren-tal consent, who weigh at least 110 pounds, are eligible to donate blood and platelets. Donors who are 18 and younger must also meet specific height and weight requirements.

The following blood drives will

be held in Polk County: On Tues-day, Jan. 4, the First Baptist Church of Saluda will hold its blood drive at 213 Henderson Street in Saluda from 2 – 6:30 p.m. Call 828-894-2700 for further information or to schedule your appointment. All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win one of two pairs of roundtrip Delta Airline tickets.

On Monday, Jan. 10, the Polk Community Blood Drive will be held at Holy Cross Episcopal Church, lo-cated on Melrose Avenue in Tryon, from 12:30 – 5 p.m. Call 828-894-2700 for further information or to schedule your appointment. All presenting donors will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win one of two pairs of roundtrip Delta Airline tickets. All eligible donors are asked to schedule an appointment to donate blood by calling 1-800-RED CROSS or visiting redcrossblood.org.


Polk County Veterans Service Officer Darrel Moore (center) spoke to the Tryon Kiwanis Club recently about eligibility for VA healthcare, widow’s benefits, compensation claims for illness or injury sustained on active duty, and educational benefits. Many of the club’s members are veterans so his topics were of great interest to the group. Dick Belthoff (left) invited Moore to speak. David little (right), club president, thanked him for his presentation and explained that a children’s book would be given to a local school in his honor. (photo submitted)

Hornet is now 6 months old. He has been in the shelter for 2 full months. He’s a wonder-ful puppy and would make a great family pet. why he is still here, we don’t understand but since he is, he’s been getting obedience train-ing so he’ll be ahead in his schooling when he is adopted. Hornet is neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped. His adoption fee is a small donation to fHS.

Letter to the Editor Saluda was the future intent? We are dealing with several miles and a 5 percent gradient section, all of which needs surface and drainage reconstruction and maintenance.

Between Tryon and Melrose is a long, high steel girder trestle which would require conversion to traffic on foot, bicycle or horseback, including appropriate walkway construction and guardrails. In the remote area between Tryon and the girder trestle is a washout of major proportions. What is left is a gigantic chasm that would require many tons of gravel fill and a huge culvert to reconstruct, or another steel girder bridge to span the gaping gorge earlier flooding created. This section is cut off from any practical access by truck.

Ironically, the only viable way to repair or replace this gap would be by rail using many hopper carloads of fill, or flatcar loads of girders and a railroad crane to unload and assemble the parts for another girder bridge. Only a railroad with the as-sets of NS could make this happen.

In time the I-26 connection between the Asheville/Spartanburg city pair will become more crowded with car and truck congestion. His-tory teaches us that adding more interstate lanes in short order only results in predictable traffic surges to fill these lanes.

Rising fuel prices will continue to edge both Asheville and Spartanburg cities out of a practical commute by road. Our three towns will one day need rapid access to these growing urban centers where the substantive jobs will be.

We need the cooperation of the states of North Carolina, South Carolina and NS to preserve and protect an irreplaceable rail link life-line for our future. Plans are already being put in place for high speed rail service along the Southeast corridor between Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, which will also encompass Salisbury, N.C., and Spartanburg.

Asheville contemplates revital-izing its rail connection to Amtrak at Salisbury. A logical rail con-nection between Asheville and Spartanburg would only benefit our three towns in time. While there are those that might say these issues are too far away to contemplate, the time will be here before we know it. Will we be prepared?

— Pete Terwilleger

Rails to trails – a tale of two citiesTo the Editor:

“December 13, 2010

Mr. Terwilleger –

A rail line cannot be converted to trails unless and until the line is abandoned. While that line segment (A&S Line) is currently inactive, it has not been aban-doned, and Norfolk Southern has no plans to do so, because it has the potential to carry traffic again at some point in the future…….

Robin C. ChapmanManager Public Relations;

Norfolk Southern Corporation”

While on paper the rails-to-trails concept has had some appeal in the short run, the long view needs to be taken concerning the future of the rail connection between Asheville and Spartanburg.

Many towns and cities have hesitated or neglected to give full consideration to the consequences of lifting vital rails. They have lived to regret this choice and paid a steep price for it. The city of Charlotte had the foresight to cooperate with Norfolk Southern in acquir-ing rails slated for abandonment or removal, and just in time. Now these rails have become a vibrant segment of Charlotte’s transporta-tion program, taking a large part of commuter traffic off their roads and onto affordable, practical light rail transportation.

While Tryon is not Charlotte, nor are Saluda or Landrum, they lie between the larger urban centers of Asheville and Spartanburg, whose importance cannot be overlooked when planning the future of our three towns.

Which brings us back to our tracks.

These are at present railbanked by Norfolk Southern Corp. (NS) – a pivotal point at which a serious plan about their future use needs to be weighed while they still ex-ist and before they are forever lost to the ages, costing many millions if not billions more to someday replace. Railbanked means in effect kept in storage for future use. But supposing a trail from Landrum to

Polk puts up a fight, but Mitchell wins Dec. 21 game

by Joey Millwood

The Polk County men’s basketball team found highs and lows in front of the home crowd on Tuesday night against Mitchell, but eventually lost the conference matchup 66-61.

“We just couldn’t get over tha t hump,” head coach Josh McEntire said.

The Wolverines jumped out to a 5-2 early lead with a Stephen Staley bucket and a Shawn Berry three,but the Mountaineers went on an 11-2 run, which set the tone for the game for much of the night.

At times the Mountaineers were cold and the Wolverines surged, but Mitchell then went on another streak.

For most of the first half, the Wolverines couldn’t get past that 10-point mark on the Mountaineer heels.

The second half brought hope, however. The Wolverines were down 33-24 at the half, but by the end of the third quarter had closed the game to 45-41. The start of the fourth quarter

looked as though the momen-tum had shifted.

Jay Sutton led the way with an assist, a bucket and a free throw to give the Wolverines a 46-45 lead. Mitchell responded with another 11-2 run. The Wol-verines had two opportunities in

the waning seconds to tie the game, but the two possessions both

ended in turnovers.“We gotta learn to play all

four quarters,” McEntire said. “We gotta learn to play with intensity.”

The second half showed the potential for his team, but the “hump” couldn’t be crossed.

“We played our guts out in the second half,” he said.

One weapon that might help the Wolverines get over that “hump” took a step forward in his progress on Tuesday night. Senior point guard Andre Over-holt was dressed and warmed up with the team on the floor before the game. The guard is expected back after the break when the schedule resumes.

Brittany Phipps has started this season slowly. That all changed on Tuesday night, Dec. 21.

Phipps and the Lady Wol-verines exchanged runs all night with Mitchell before closing the door in the final two minutes for a 54-45 victory. Phipps had been averaging just 10.8 points per game, but scored a game-high 21 to lead the Lady Wolverines to their sixth victory of the year.

“We need her to play hard,” head coach Craig Culbreth said. “We talked to her before the game about not thinking so much.”

She definitely didn’t think on Tuesday or maybe it was more that she played out of her mind. The senior dominated the Lady Mountaineers on offense, hitting runners, jump shots and driving to the basket.

“It was nice,” she said after the game. “We needed a win and I can’t give credit to anyone, but my team.”

Her additional scoring was big for the Lady Wolverines, who had to fight off the Mitch-ell press for most of the night.

Plagued by early turnovers, Polk was down 17-16 after the first quarter and 25-21, but took off in the second quarter to lead 26-21 at the break.

A big difference for the Lady Wolverines was the aggres-siveness of the post players

in the paint. Melinda Morgan scored nine points and grabbed

nine rebounds. Jamie Hrobak grabbed 13 rebounds. Kailey Russell had eight points and 10 rebounds. Phipps added six defensive rebounds, one block and four steals.

The Lady Mountaineers fought back and took the lead 43-40 with a little over five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. The Lady Wolverines, however, rattled off eight unan-swered points, forcing Mitchell to call a timeout.

The timeout didn’t help as Polk scored six more unan-swered points in the last two minutes to ice the game.

“(The team’s resiliency) was real big,” Culbreth said. “We didn’t fold.”

Phipps wins Wendy’s awardby Joey Millwood

Brittany Phipps, a senior athlete at Polk County High School, is a winner of the Wendy’s High School Heisman for 2010.

The award honors those stu-dents who excel in leadership, academics, and athletics. Those are three things that Phipps knows a little about. Phipps is a star athlete at Polk County. She was an integral part to the Polk County women’s soccer team’s run to a state championship in 2009. She also excels in volley-ball and basketball. Phipps was named the Western Highlands Conference Player of the Year in volleyball this year.

“It’s a huge honor,” the senior said. “There was defi-nitely some competition from my grade.”

Polk Director of Athletics Jeff Wilson feels that Phipps was a no-brainer. She is the president of the student body, was elected homecoming queen and is a tremendous student-

athlete.“I think it’s her all-around

versatility,” Wilson said. “She’s the real deal. She car-ries herself well and she’s a very caring

teammate.”Phipps is in the middle of her

second sport this year. Before Tuesday night, Dec. 21, she was averaging 10.8 points per game. Tuesday was her first big game of the season. She scored 21 points, grabbed six rebounds, had four steals and one block.

DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local couple happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store.

At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale!

The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take lessons from a local profes-sional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dres-sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country course and stadium jump-ing. They ended up high point!

What we leave behind mattersConservation Corner

Betsy Burdett

Last weekend the Bradley Education Fund, of the Polk County Community Foundation, sent me, plus three other local people to New York City to the 30th-annual lectures of the Schu-macher Society, most recently merged with the New Economics Institute.

It is difficult for me to describe what we heard in a few lines, but suffice it to say current progres-sive thought is that economics as we know it will change drasti-cally in the next 50 years.

It would behoove the brightest among us to start thinking out of the box. As for the environment and conservation, the past 100 years’ profit has been largely possible through exploitation of our natural resources.

These resources are “exter-nalities” in that they are not counted as costs on the financial balance sheets.

An honest assessment of the long-term economic choices ahead means we can either con-tinue to believe that we can have unlimited growth in a finite environment, or we can change. That’s simpler to say than do.

On Sunday, the day after the lectures, we went to the Frick Art Museum.

Henry Clay Frick was a ruth-less industrialist from western Pennsylvania who made his fortune with the conversion of coal to coke for making steel. It would be safe to say he exploited both people and the environment for financial gain.

Frick was one of the founders of US Steel, and was also the most hated man in America for a while thanks to his ruthless

tactics against unions. But he was also an avid art collector who left his entire art collection and home to the citizens of NYC. I saw my first Rembrandt painting there, and it was absolutely beautiful.

While in NYC, I got word that my mother, living in PA, was not doing well.

The news permeated my thoughts throughout our stay, probably because I was very close to my mother.

This is the mother I’ve talked about in this column often. She was raised just after Mr. Frick, in western PA also. Her father started a natural gas drilling com-pany on horseback, a company later purchased by Standard Oil of New Jersey, now Exxon.

Mother was of the generation that thought there would always be more natural resources to support our lifestyle and allow us to travel wherever we wanted to go.

I remember her telling me when I was very young that there would always be enough because America was ‘so big.’ We were fortunate to have such abundant material and natural wealth. But she was also one who loved be-ing outside, and she sent me to camp.

This weekend my family has come to my mother’s birthplace (and mine) in western Pennsyl-vania to bury her.

All week I’ve been thinking about that centuries old question, “What is the meaning of life?

Why are we here, and what is our purpose?”

The answer must have to do not only with how we live our lives, but also with what we leave behind. In this life we learn from the accumulated mistakes of our forefathers and from our own mistakes. Sometimes we try to make our amends after death, as did Henry Clay Frick. For many of us, however, life’s meaning is explained though our children and the knowledge we leave with them after we are gone.

Our purpose may be to raise the level of consciousness of humankind, generation by gen-eration. My mother’s generation pushed the limits of exploitation of our natural resources, and they also started the national parks system after they witnessed the deforestation of most of our nation.

Our generation is faced with an economic crisis where we can choose to enhance and refine our exploitation techniques, or try something different based upon improving quality of life rather than increasing financial gain.

My mother owned only one kind of stock, Exxon. It was what her father left her.

She in turn has left that stock to my brothers and me. I think my mother will send some little girls to summer nature camp with that Exxon stock even after she is no longer here.

She would approve, even though she did not think of it. Our hope is in our children. If they love nature, then they will take care of it. They will choose life over money. Without them, our world is lost.

Again this year an additional plunge will be held at the Geneva Riverside Motel at 1:30 p.m. The New Year’s Extreme Polar Plunge takes place in the Rocky Broad River located directly

behind the Geneva. Registration begins at 11 a.m.
