Tryon hits last minute snags on water plant rehabilitationUpgrade project 99 percent completeby Leah Justice

Tryon’s water plant upgrades are 99 percent complete, but the town ran into some issues related to upgrading its mountain water intakes.

Just before Christmas, contractors received a notice from the Corps of Engineers to stop work on intake

repairs near Pearson Falls. The town’s intakes are located

on town property, but access to the property is through an easement from the Tryon Garden Club, which owns all the surrounding property.

The garden club expressed concern over silt created by the work.

“Our greatest concern was silt that has to be released from the dam,” said

Local record label works to bolster genreby Samantha Hurst

The course of Pinecastle Records altered in 2010 about as rapidly as a banjo picker’s fingers skip across the strings.

In February 2010, the Co-lumbus-based bluegrass label folded because of then-owner Tom Riggs’ poor health. By September it rose back with vigor.

“We want to put our name out there and let people know that we’re back in busi-ness,” said Matt Hood, vice president of publicity. “For the past few months we’ve been dealing with the administration side of business but we’ve got artists with real potential in the new year.”

After Dr. Lonnie Lassiter purchased the business, he immediately laid out a new

vision for the label. Pinecastle aims to ac-complish four specific initiatives, he said:

• To preserve the genre of bluegrass• To advocate for artists• To be innovative in the way it promotes

talent• To grow the fan base for bluegrass

music overall.

Daniel Routh and his wife, Carolyn, carry the vocals for the band Nu-blu, the first to sign with the revitalized label three months ago.

Routh said working with Pin-ecastle fulfills a musical dream on various levels.

The Osborne Brothers, syn-onymous with the Pinecastle la-bel, were one of the first groups to prick Routh’s bluegrass-loving ear.

Nu-blu was also the last group to sign with Pin-ecastle under the prior ownership of Tom Riggs. Routh said the band met Riggs at the Interna-tional Bluegrass Music Associa-tion conference in 2009.

“ We h a d a handshake agree-ment when we left,” Daniel said of his conversa-tion with Riggs. “We were excited because we had this new album [“Night”] to put out. But then we got the news in February [2010] that because of Mr. Riggs’ health the label was fold-ing. We were just floored – we sat at the house for a couple of days just in shock.”

Longtime Pinecastle art-ist Phil Leadbetter seconded Routh’s sentiment.

Leadbetter and the group Grasstowne released a new album just before the announce-ment that Pinecastle would close. He said more than any-thing they needed the help of a label to promote the new album, so the announcement couldn’t have come at a worse time.

“I had no interest in going to other labels and hadn’t ever taken the time to think through what my options would be if they weren’t around,” said Leadbetter, who’s known for his dobro playing. “[Pinecastle

folding] was a difficult time in my musical career.”

Wondering what its next move should be, Nu-blu pushed the national release of its album, “Night,” on its own. “Night” spent five weeks on the Ameri-cana Music Association’s Top 40 chart as an indie release.

“For an independent band it’s hard and for an independent bluegrass band it’s even harder. We had to establish our own momentum there,” said Routh.

Despite the surge of positive response, Nu-blu wasn’t ready to continue the road alone.

The band was elated when the call came in from Ethan Burkhardt and Hood that Pinecastle was back up and run-ning.

“There are a few things that a label can do for a band that they can’t do for them-selves,” Routh said. “The one thing that really made us want to go back was that

Pinecastle has a very strong stance on ‘We’re a team.’”

Leadbetter said he stuck with Pinecastle for almost a decade before the company closed be-cause of the staff.

“In a lot of situations with labels, you feel way down on the totem pole, especially with a label that has a large roster,” Leadbetter said. “With Pine- castle I’ve always felt on their priority list.”

Hood said he was energized to draw Leadbetter back to the Pine- castle family,

“Everybody in the bluegrass world knows him,” Hood said. “He’s incredibly well-respected, but for me it was particularly exciting to get him back because he was one of the first artists I worked with after joining the label.”

Pinecastle allows the artist to be the artist, Routh said.

“They say, ‘Here, you make

the music and we’ll do every-thing we need to do to get it out there and promote it,’” he said. “They don’t try to fit you into some sort of particu-lar box.”

The label actually works out-side any conforming box, Routh said, including encouraging Nu-blu to move forward with plans to create the first smart phone “app” for a bluegrass band.

The tool provides fan inter-action with the band and offers access to music videos and live streaming of breaking news from the band.

“As an artist, trying to be creative all the time in your mu-sic – and nowadays you have to be creative in marketing – it’s great to have a label backing

you that is will-ing to try new ideas,” Routh said.

The band r e - s i g n e d w i t h P i n e - castle in Oc-tober. In No-vember 2010, it released its

new single, “Christmas in Di-xie,” a cover song made famous by the band Alabama. The single quickly hit No. 1 on the Airplay Direct Top Bluegrass Album Chart.

Hood said Nu-blu emits a great bluegrass sound with just the right amount of contempo-rary edge to allow the group to grab attention from outside the bluegrass world. He said the band’s solid instrumentation also affords it the ability to in-

corporate its strong background in other genres.

Leadbetter said the label’s ability to recognize great talent and promote it across a wide fan base is vital to the life of its artists.

“Bluegrass is kind of a weird genre to promote because you have such a variety of ages who are attracted to the music,” he said. “Ethan and Matt think young and they think creative. They know the importance of using tools like Facebook and the Internet in general to generate interest. They, along with Lonnie, are bringing new vision to the label.”

Routh said he looks forward as an artist to being a part of

that process.“We completely support the

label and will do anything to help them get their name back out there,” he said. “Pinecastle has a long history in this indus-try. For future generations that’s huge for them to be able to pre-serve that musical history.”

• Tryon water(Continued from page 1)

Tryon Garden Club President Carol Meeske. “The town is working very hard to correct the problem. We just wanted it done correctly.”

The Corps of Engineers re-quired Tryon to obtain permits for four sand bags being used for the project. Work cannot be completed until the permits are obtained and approved.

Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said the Corps of Engineers originally approved the town’s environment assess-ment. The Garden Club raised concerns, so the town made an agreement with the garden club that it would place four sand bags to help control the silt, Hembree said.

A second environmental assessment was approved by the Corps of Engineers, but concerns were again raised, Hembree said. The Corps of Engineers then discovered the town needs a permit in order to place the sand bags.

Hembree said the town is now waiting on engineers to get plans to the Corps of Engineers for approval. He said the work left will only take about a day to complete.

“By finishing this work, that should allow us to complete the rehab project,” Hembree said. “I’m hoping this will be done within two months at the most because the longer it takes us to get this project done, the more it’s costing the town’s water customers.”

The rehab project was origi-nally scheduled to be completed in April 2010, and estimates later last year were for the completion be done at the end of the year.

The upgrades began in 2009, with the project expected to take one year.

The town’s plant, located off Carolina Drive, first went online in 1988. It needed the upgrades to meet current state guidelines. Tryon financed the approximately $3 million project.

Prior to 1988, mountain water was Tryon’s only water source, but the town abandoned the mountain water when it constructed the water plant and began using water from Lake Lanier. The town owns the lake bed of Lake Lanier and has ju-risdiction over the water.

Following a drought in 2003, when the town had to impose

mandatory water restrictions, officials decided while it was upgrading the water plant, it should also make changes that would allow mountain water to be available as a water source.

The turbidity of Lake Lanier and the mountain water is dif-ferent, so different processing has to be done to combine the two sources. Two intakes, one on Fork Creek and another on Colt Creek, are the last of the upgrades needed in order to use both water sources. The use of mountain water should give the town at least an ad-ditional 200,000 gallons of water per day.

• Tryon water(Continued from page 6)

Upgrades already complet-ed at the water plant include renovating the old water plant building into offices, with the downstairs of the old building converted into the chemical plant.

A new outdoor facility was also constructed, which gives the town more retention time. The building houses the flash mix and flocculation chamber. The flash mixer combines chemicals with the water and the flocculator uses chemicals to build “floc,” or clumps of dirt, grit and sand, according to Tryon Water Plant Supervi-sor Betty Jones.

The upgrades have also in-cluded replacing eight chemi-cal feed pumps and fixing the old water plant roof, among other work.

Hornet is neutered, vaccinated and micro chipped. His adoption fee is a small donation to fHS.

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis presents an award from the Polk County Fire Chief’s Association during a retirement party for Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Tennant.

the position since 1982. He has served as firefighter for 35 years and retired as an educator after 30 years of service. Tennant is currently the chair of the Polk County School Board.

Tennant joined the Colum-bus Fire Department in the mid-1970s. Then, the depart-ment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of fire trucks. Today, the depart-ment has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several associate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“I don’t think you can under-stand how much the people in this room mean to me,” Tennant told those in attendance.

Tennant was lured to Tryon Estates that evening by a fire alarm activation at the retire-ment community in Columbus. The fire alarm call was nothing new to Tennant, but soon after entering the room, Tennant re-alized the setup as he was met with a standing ovation.

“It was the only way we could get him here,” said Co-lumbus Deputy Fire Chief Bobby Arledge. “If we told him we were having a retirement party, he wouldn’t have shown

up. If it’s a fire call, we know he’s coming.”

Arledge will take over the chief position at the beginning of the year.

Tennant was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, along with several other presen-tations from many of the service agencies Tennant has worked closely with over the years. Those in attendance included all Polk County emergency service and law enforcement agencies, mutual aid fire depart-ments and Regional One.

“The opportunity to work with him in so many roles has been incredible,” said Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “He has been a colleague, my fire chief and most importantly, my friend.”

Davis served as the Polk County Fire Marshal and later as deputy chief at the Columbus Fire Department before taking the Tryon fire chief position.

Tennant expressed surprise when presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, which has also been awarded to Bob Timberlake, Charles Kuralt and fellow University of North Carolina Alumnus, Mi-chael Jordan. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven

Maxfield, Messer honored by Glassy Mountain Fire Department

Charles maxfielD ron messer

The Glassy Mountain Fire Department (GMFD) recently named its 2010 award recipi-ents for service to the com-munity.

The Troy Cecil Pruitt Fire-fighter of the Year Awards for 2010 were presented to Charles Maxfield of Landrum, Volun-teer of the Year, and Captain Adam Brown of Lyman, Career Firefighter of the Year. The Officer of the Year award was presented to Lieutenant Ron Messer of Landrum.

The awards were presented by Chief Bryan Riebe and John Ball, chairman of the Awards Task Force, during Glassy Mountain Fire Department’s annual Christmas and awards

banquet.“We are very proud of all our

firefighting staff, both career and volunteer, but we are always in need of more volunteers – firefighters and first responders – especially as our community continues to grow,” Chief Riebe said. “However, many folks may not know that we also need help from citizens who can provide support to the district such as mechanical, electrical, technical, legal assistance, etc – it doesn’t have to be fighting fires.”

If anyone wants more infor-mation on how to become part of the GMFD team, contact Chief Riebe at 864-895-4306 or go to www.gmfd.net.

A wonderful Thanksgiving DayEditor’s note:

The following was written by Helen Li, a 16-year-old AFS exchange student from China attend-ing Polk County High School this year. She is living with the Ramsey family in Green Creek.

It’s been a while since Thanksgiving dinner, but every time when I think of it, I can always come up with a great smile. It was truly a Thanksgiving Day. I had my Thanksgiving dinner at my liaison’s house. There were so many people coming that I felt like I was having an enor-mous American family. It was the first time that I met my new host family.

Nothing awkward happened during the dinner because I just felt like a member of the family because of the way they treated me: They were so loving and accepting.

We had a big dinner. We had pies with whipped cream, which tasted like birthday cake to me, a big turkey, stuffing and a lot of new stuff that I can’t even remember. They were all asking me questions about China and they all seemed to like me. And

that day, I learned a lot about American culture.

That evening we started Black Friday shopping at 11 o’clock and we had so much fun together. I learned something new, I met fabulous people and I was a happy camper. What more can I expect?

Everything between me and my new host family just hap-pened on that Thursday and the Black Friday. We felt comfort-able with each other around. Daddy always tells me that it must have been God who led us together. I am not religious at all but I am starting to agree with him.

If it wasn’t for football, we wouldn’t even have met at all.

100-year-old Dr. Thomas E. Morrow home restored

one hundred-year-old dr. Thomas E. morrow home has been restored to its original appearance. (photo by dean Stuart Campbell)

Bob and Ellie Gordon, own-ers of the Dr. Thomas E. and Hattie Henson Morrow home in Gowensville, have restored the historic structure to its original appearance for its centennarian anniversary.

Intricate exterior features of the house’s original appearance have been restored.

The home stood empty for a number of years without upkeep, before the Gordons purchased it in 1981.

Restoring the interior proved to be a more daunting task. Com-

plete replacement of wiring and plumbing lines and fixtures was necessary to match today’s stan-dards. Only one original light fixture was in the house when purchased, and all fireplace mantles had been removed.

The kitchen presented a dis-tinct challenge. Only partial cabinets were left by previ-ous residents, which had to be matched. Walls, almost two inches thick, presented their own problems, and refurbishment of the horse hair plaster proved a tedious task.

The home is located on one of three adjoining tracts, which Dr. Morrow purchased in 1907, 1909 and 1911 – comprising a total of 212 acres – between Middle Tyger River and Good-join Road. It is near the inter-section of Goodjoin Road and Morrow Drive.

Dr. Morrow served families of Gowensville, Oak Grove, Motlow Creek, Ebenezer Wel-come and Glassy Mountain communities until his death, at age 76, in 1940.


But the moment I met them I knew that they were the family that I’ve always wanted and now I have a loving family: parents who treat me like their own daughter, two sisters away at col-lege but come home sometimes and a brother who is an awesome

football player. They all treat me like their sister. We get along and we love each other as family.

This is the year in my life that I will never forget and this will be the Thanksgiving that I will never forget. Meeting my host family now just made my Thanksgiving more thankful.

I never expected to have a

• Thanksgiving(ConTinueD from page 9)

Thanksgiving like this. I was just expecting it to be with my first host family and have a small and not really traditional din-ner, but now I am truly thankful for this Thanksgiving because it gave me an experience that I will never ever forget in my whole life. It is the day of love and gift.

Nina Simone Festival reveals poster“nina” By JonaThan green

Anticipation builds about the recently announced Nina Simone World Music Festival, scheduled for Sept. 9-11, 2011 in Tryon. The music festival in the name of Nina Simone includes local, regional and (inter)national talents perform-ing a range of music genres on multiple stages in the North Carolina Blue Ridge birthplace of Simone.

Nina Simone Project (NSP) founder and director Dr. Crys Armbrust released information recently detailing the poster for the inaugural festival cel-ebration of the internation-ally famed, North Carolina-born singer and activist. The oversized poster, depicting a powerful image of Simone, features artist Jonathan Green’s painting “NINA” (2009). A limited number of the poster’s printing run will be signed by

the artist.Green is acclaimed as one of

the most important painters of the southern experience.

“I approached the creation of ‘Nina’ as a privilege to express my interpretation of the power, force, passion, and vulnerability of a gifted genius of music and performance,” Green said.

That interpretation, Arm-brust asserts, captures, in the words of Green, “the incredible legacy Dr. Nina Simone gave to our culture and heritage.”

“The Nina Simone Project,” Armbrust said, “expresses its deep appreciation to Mr. Green for his generous sharing of tal-ent and vision to support the NSP’s mission and goals.”

Nina Simone World Music Festival information will be regularly updated at www.ninasimoneproject.org.

“The veterinarians of this community are heroes. Without their support, none of this could happen”

-- Leonard Rizzo

(ConTinueD on page 15)

FHS announces 2010 results, 2011 membership driveStray, abandoned and abused

animals are nothing new in America. Dogs and cats have been multiplying at an alarming rate for decades, resulting in the deaths of 4-5 million cats and dogs in shelters alone, and count-less more starving, hit by cars or killed by other animals.

Irresponsible owners, breed-ers and puppy mills produce this tragedy. Female dogs and cats are able to reproduce at six months of age and can give birth to more than 15 animals each year, which has produced an ex-ponential population explosion.

Despite the odds, a local non-profit working hard to give those animals a chance at a decent life is finding success. Foothills Humane Society opened the county’s only open-admission animal shelter in 1990.

In 2010, FHS finally became an “adoption guarantee shelter,” one where no healthy or treat-able, temperamentally adoptable animal is destroyed. The shelter’s 2010 “live release rate” for all animals was 98.7 percent. It is a major accomplishment and shows better results than reported by the top “no-kill” shelters in the country.

“This is a big improvement

from a 40 percent live release rate just five years ago. While that was better than most shelters,” according to Foothills Humane Society President Robert Then, “it still resulted in way too many animals euthanized, and we

wanted to do better.”The live-release rate has im-

proved every year since. This has taken many years to achieve and is the result of the dedication and resources of hundreds of people, and a national awareness and mobilization to save the animals, according to operations director Dot Moyer.

“Over 200 active volunteers donated approximately 6,000 hours last year doing the many things it takes to save these lives,” she said. “We could not have done it without the unbe-lievable support of this wonderful community.”

FHS’ 2010 success came from expanded programs, services and

newly built intake and infirmary facilities, allowing the society to place the 1,745 stray, abandoned and abused animals it received last year.

The expansion in programs and facilities, and more savvy use of the internet and networking, gave FHS the tools needed to save the animals.

“Po’ Kitties” trap-neuter-return program sterilized and vaccinated 315 cats and returned them to their colony caretakers or barns as “green pest control technicians.”

Another major contributor to the live-release-rate increase was the medical treatment made pos-sible by funds donated to “Len-nie’s Fund,” named for FHS vol-unteer and staff member Leonard Rizzo, who commits himself to the treatment and adoption of each “kid.” Also, FHS’ Chicken Soup Fund covers the treatment of animals that would otherwise have to be euthanized.

“The veterinarians of this community are heroes. Without their support, none of this could happen,” Rizzo said.

• FHS 2010 results(ConTinueD from page 14)

long-term solution, however, and FHS invested $53,000 in spay/neuter surgeries during 2010. More than 1,300 shelter animals, pets of residents need-ing assistance and the Po’Kitties were sterilized, preventing an es-timated 30,000 unwanted births. FHS is working to increase the numbers sterilized according to Then, “we cannot adopt our way out of pet homelessness.”

Saving the community’s ani-mals takes an annual budget of over $400,000. According to FHS’s treasurer Kathy Toomey, most of the cost is raised pri-vately, with Polk County paying a portion of the expenses for sheltering strays for the three-day “legal hold” period.

FHS is kicking off its 2011 membership drive this month. Anyone can become a member by sending a donation of any size to FHS Humane Society, 989 Little Mountain Road, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

AKC agility trial set for Jan. 21-23The Blue Ridge Agility Club

of Western North Carolina will host an American Kennel Club (AKC) agility trial Friday, Satur-day and Sunday, Jan. 21 - 23. The event will be held at the Western North Carolina Agricultural Cen-ter McGough Arena in Fletcher from 8 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. each day. Spectators are welcome to attend and admission is free. Leave your dogs comfortably at home.

More than 400 purebred dogs from throughout the southeast will compete at various levels of difficulty against each other and the clock. There will be ap-proximately 70 AKC registered breeds competing.

The object of an agility trial

is for the handler to navigate the dog through a timed obstacle course without the dog making a mistake.

The agility course is com-prised of jumps, weave poles, tunnels and climbing apparatus-es. Agility rules focus on safety for the dog. The sport of agility combines control, training and drive into a challenging game for both the handler and the dog. Agility training heightens the bond between dog and handler and provides fun exercise for both. Agility is one of the fastest growing dog sports in the USA

AKC’s newest class, FAST (Fifteen and Send Time) will be offered on Friday. The FAST

class is an additional test of strat-egy, accuracy, speed, timing and distance handling, to demonstrate a dog’s athletic ability. The class consists of 15 obstacles that have point values; there is no order to the course, with the exception of the distance challenge portion. The distance challenge must be completed correctly for a quali-fying run; it can be attempted anytime during the run.

The Western North Carolina Agricultural Center is located off of I-26, exit 40, on Airport Road.

For more information or di-rections to the trial, visit the web at www.blueridgeagility.com or call 828-697-2118.
