The Tryon Downtown De-velopment Association (TDDA) recently held a charrette during which interested residents brain-stormed possibilities for future development of the Palmer Street area in downtown Tryon.
Architect John Walters said the TDDA has for a long time thought about doing a study on the Palmer Street area, which includes East Howard, Maple, Palmer and N. Trade streets.
Walters said it was surpris-ing how many of the same ideas came from different people dur-ing the two-day session.
Some of the ideas that resulted from the charrette were turned One of the sketches of possible development of the Palmer Street area in downtown Tryon. This sketch
proposes a park near Palmer Street, at the intersection of E. Howard Street and Maple Street. The proposal includes water features created from Lockhart Creek, which could run through the area.(Continued on page 4)

at a few different addresses.Warren’s arrest is one of sev-
eral that have been made since May as a result of Operation Pill Sweep.
The sheriff’s office and the N.C. State Bureau of Investiga-tion (SBI), with assistance from the U.S. Veteran’s Affairs Office and the sheriff’s offices of Bun-combe County and Spartanburg County, S.C., conducted a nine-month undercover investigation intended to get illegal prescrip-tion pills out of Polk County.
Hill said officers purchased an estimated 2,000 illegal pre-scription pills from area resi-dents during the investigation. The sheriff’s office originally had warrants for more than 20 suspects, with other arrests be-ing made during the operation.
Officers have arrested sus-pects for marijuana, heroin, opium and cocaine as well as
a variety of illegal prescription medications, including oxyco-done, oxycontin, Percocet, Lort-ab, hydrocodone and Xanax. In addition, some suspects have been arrested on child abuse charges as a result of illegal drug transactions being made in the presence of children.
Warren was issued a $10,000 bond, according to sheriff’s of-fice reports.

into archictectural sketches, which Tryon council members reviewed on June 21.
Development ideas from the public and the TDDA included:
• Extending housing units on Howard Street
• Addressing public and em-ployee parking needs
• Looking at improvements to the rear of buildings for load-ing areas
• Developing the lower levels of existing buildings
• Burying electrical lines and adding lighting
• Adding green space• Exposing Lockhart Creek to
create a future pedestrian amenityThe downtown parking is-
sue was addressed by several proposals. One was to develop parking facilities at the corner of N.Trade and Palmer Street, if one day the Stott’s Ford property

were to become available. Other structured parking lots for both the public and business employees downtown were part of many of the proposals.
The ideas also kept pedestrians in mind, with linkage points for walkability in the area.
Walters said the drawings included ideas from some area business owners.
One sketch (see above) shows the town’s street department area, at the corner of Maple and How-ard streets, which could one day include other businesses and/or

low grade parking for residents and downtown employees, as well as greenspace and a stream.
Councilman Wim Woody said this idea would require the re-moval of the town’s maintenance facility as the first step. Mayor Alan Peoples said relocating the town’s facility is currently in the town’s plans.
Council members asked if the park-like area along the stream is being viewed as public or private. Walters said he sees opening up the stream and a park for the public.
“Again, this is market- and economy-driven,” Walters said of the ideas shown in the drawings.

Barking up the wrong tree
Grassroots
by Chris Jakubowicz
Monotony: Lack of variety and interest; tedious repetition and routine. Such is life at times. Ho hum, same thing different day, daily routine after daily routine.
I personally don’t like dull. I don’t want pepperoni on my pizza every time, occasionally I’ll switch it up and put sausage or hamburger. After all, a guy has to live a little, doesn’t he?
G o i n g through a typi-cal full week of work is pretty monotonous in itself – some-times it nearly drives me to utter ruin. I look forward to weekends for a little escape.
Of course, it helps when you have something totally out of the usual occur in this neck of the woods. Something so com-pletely off the wall that you have to phone your parents back in Illinois to share the out-of-this-worldness of it all.
This kind of event spices up your life and it only happens once every year. And if anyone missed it, you can go buy the T-shirt to remind you for next year.
Coon Dog Day: nothing could be more original than venturing up to small town U.S.A. in Saluda to witness red-blooded Americans sport-ing their coon dogs. Good ol’ boys (never meanin’ no harm) prancing around with their antsy coon dogs sniffing everything they could get their wet little noses up to.
I’ll have to hand it to these coon dog owners, too. It’s 90 something degrees out, and they’re still wearing jeans. That’s what I call separating the men from the boys.
The dogs had their tongues hanging down toward the ground, and their owners proud-ly dressed for the part as well.
Some even walked around with a blade of grass in the mouth and a shirt with the sleeves cut off. I kicked myself for forgetting my camera.
There weren’t just coon dogs up there; people felt free to bring their own “non hunting hound” to enjoy the walk down Saluda’s carnival-type atmosphere.
I w o u l d have brought my Shi-tzu, but I was afraid a coon dog would mistake him for an actual live
raccoon and go chasing him up a tree. Of course, that may have added to the entertainment value of the day – I’ll remember that for next year.
Well, it got me thinking. I placed myself in a coon dog frame of mind. Every dog there had his or her own individual style of going after that stuffed coon hanging from the tree.
Some of them went after the coon with reckless abandon-ment, barking with no end in sight. Other dogs couldn’t have cared less about it.
The audience all thought the really good coon dogs were the ones that went after the coon and barked until they nearly went hoarse in the throat. I stood there and firmly believed the smart dogs were the ones that had no part in pursuing the coon.
Such is life. We chase after something we think is the real thing, just to find out that it’s an imitation.
Some of us may never truly find out that what we’re chasing isn’t right. I like to think there are coon dogs sitting in their homes right this moment, dwell-ing on the missed opportunity with that stuffed raccoon.
Then there are others who realize it from the beginning.
Maybe they’re more tuned into what’s real and what’s not, what’s worth pursuing and what’s worth sitting down for a rest instead.
The coon dogs who didn’t have one slight interest in that
• Grassroots(Continued from page 6)
raccoon, but instead wanted to go lick a little child sitting there watching, were the smart ones. When the real thing comes along, they may be the top dog in pursuing the coon.
In other words, the others were just barking up the wrong tree. We all have to learn to sit and lie down in the shade of the
tree instead. Sooner or later the real thing will come along and we’ll recognize it because we’ll be good and rested.
Thanks to all the coon dogs who contributed their time and energy to allowing me to break out of the monotony. It wouldn’t be Polk County if we weren’t able to do so.
Who would think a coon dog would be able to teach you something?

Election season beginsJust 11 candidates tossing their names in the hat for open
city government seats across Polk County means there will be few contested races come November.
What it doesn’t mean is that voters should use that as an excuse to be complacent.
If anything, it means voters should be more vocal. With fewer people seeking office, many of them running unopposed, there is even more need for constituents of Polk County to be vigilant and concerned with the way in which their towns are being run.
Without opponents running in the various races, many voters assume they don’t need to find out more about the people po-tentially taking office. Some voters assume it no longer matters because they won’t necessarily need to vote for one person or another. However, situations like this call for you to know your candidates even better, so you can learn a bit more about what to expect when they come to govern your area.
You need to know how they feel about annexation, water services, taxes, zoning and more. It’s important for you to be involved in the political process regardless of whether or not your vote could determine who is in that seat. Pay attention and get to know your local lawmakers, current and future.

Beware of scammers posing as your bank
To the Editor: Don’t respond to
calls that claim to come from your bank and ask you to provide your debit card number or other account information.
If you get one of these phony calls, hang up. The calls come from scammers trying to steal your personal information and drain your account, not from your real bank.
North Carolina consumers have reported getting fraudulent calls this week from scammers posing as the Bank of North Carolina and High Point Bank and Trust.
A number of other banks with North Carolina customers have been impersonated by previous scams seeking personal information, including State Employees Credit Union, Gateway Bank, Bank of America and Wachovia (now Wells Fargo).
According to consumers’ reports, the latest versions of this scam often start with an automated call saying that your debit card has been blocked and then ask you to press one to proceed.
If you press one, you get a live a person who asks for your debit card number. Consumers who’ve received the calls report that they appear to come from numbers in Indiana, North Dakota, New Jersey and Canada.
However, the criminals behind
these scams are often located overseas and use technology to make their calls appear to come from
numbers inside the U.S. T h e c a l l s a r e
a variation on the phishing scam called v i sh ing o r vo i ce phishing. Con artists
will use phone calls, text messaging and email to pose as legitimate businesses or even government agencies in an attempt to steal your bank account, credit card or social security numbers.
Don’t take the bait when criminals go phishing for your money and your information.
To avoid becoming a victim of phishing and vishing scams, remember:
Never share your account number and/or PIN with anyone who contracts you, even if they claim to be with your bank. Your bank already has your account or debit card number and will not contact you to ask for it.
If you get a call, email or text indicating that there’s a problem with your bank account, don’t respond. Instead, contact the bank at a phone number or through a secure website you know to be legitimate.
If you’ve shared information with a possible scammer, contact your bank immediately.
You can also contact the Consumer Protection Division at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM toll-free within North Carolina.

Tryon designates July 23 as William Gillette Day
Tryon has declared July 23 as William Gillette Day. The festivities will begin at 9 a.m. with Mrs. Hudson’s breakfast in Columbus and a presentation by Henry Zecher, author of the just-published “William Gillette, America’s Sherlock Holmes,” a biography of the life of one of the world’s premier actors and play-wrights for half a century.
Gillette, who had a summer home in Tryon for years, created, with permission from his collabo-rator, Sir Authur Conan Doyle, the stage presentation of Sherlock Holmes in England and America.
For more than 12 years Henry Zecher has given a slide program on William Gillette to Sherlock Holmes fans. The program has been a popular event in the Sher-lockian world, with some fans pro-claiming it the best presentation ever given at a Sherlockian event.
Now, Zecher has a book to go with it. More than 700 pages, the book includes numerous graphics and photos, many collected by author Zecher and not previously published.
Zecher will sign books at the breakfast. The Book Shelf in Tryon will sponsor an additional book signing from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on July 23.
The Polk County Historical Museum (featuring a large collec-tion of William Gillette material) will be open to visitors from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tours of Gillette memorabilia, including the pipe and slippers he wore in stage pre-sentations of his play, “Sherlock Holmes,” are available.
Tickets are limited. If you plan to attend contact Robert Reynolds at [email protected] or Phyllis Martin at 828-863-2643.

Glassy Mountain Fire De-partment announces the gradu-ation of Evan Campbell from the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation’s S.C. Fire Academy on June 24.
Campbell completed the 320 hour training program of class-room and hands-on firefighting skills development. He gradu-ated in a class of 20 represent-ing 14 fire departments across S.C. and one out-of-country fire department.
“We are very proud to rec-ognize Evan’s accomplish-ments. This eight-week training course is very challenging,”
said Glassy Mountain fire ser-vice area, chief Brian G. Riebe.
“The program requires team work, in-depth study, extensive hands-on training with live fires, practical skills evalua-tions and written tests to meet the national fire protection as-sociation standards. This is yet another example of our commit-ment to serving our community with the very best,” he said.
In addition to volunteer-ing with the Glassy Mountain Fire Department, Campbell attends Greenville Technical College majoring in electrical engineering. He is a native of

Foreign high school students are scheduled to arrive soon for academic semester and year homestay programs.
According to Pacific Inter-cultural Exchange (PIE) Presi-dent, John Doty, the students are between the ages of 15 and 18 years, are English-speaking, have their own spending mon-ey, carry accident and health insurance and want to share their cultural experiences with their new American families. PIE currently has programs to match family’s needs, ranging in length from one semester to a full academic year, where the students attend local public and private high schools.
“At this critical time in our country’s history, hosting an international teen is the best and purest form of public di-plomacy the United States has,” said Doty.
PIE area representatives match students with host fami-lies by finding common inter-ests and lifestyles through an in-home meeting. Prospective
host families are able to review student applications and select a match. PIE can place a student in a variety of homes, whether it is a single parent, a childless couple, a retired couple or a large family.
Families who host for PIE are also eligible to claim a monthly charitable contribution deduction on their itemized tax returns for each month they host a sponsored student.
For the upcoming programs, PIE has students from Germany, the former Soviet Union, Ven-ezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Hun-gary, Croatia, Korea, Mexico, Slovakia, China and many other countries. PIE is also partici-pating in a government-funded program to bring scholarship students from the newly inde-pendent states of the former So-viet Union to live in American communities.
PIE is a non-profit educa-tional organization that has sponsored more than 25,000 students from 45 countries since its founding in 1975. The
organization is designated by the United States Department of State and is listed by the Council on Standards for In-ternational Educational Travel (CSIET), certifying that the organization complies with the standards set forth in CSIET’s Standards for International Educational Travel Programs.
Doty encourages families to contact the program immedi-ately, as it will allow the time for the students and hosts to get to know one another before they meet for the first time.
F a m i l i e s i n t e r e s t e d i n learning more about student exchange or arranging for a meeting with a community representative may call PIE at 866-546-1402. The agency also has travel/study program oppor-tunities available for American high school students, as well as possibilities for community volunteers to assist and work with area host families, students and schools.

The Farm Service Agency (FSA) is reminding producers that Friday, July 29 is the dead-line to apply for 2009 crop loss assistance under the Supple-mental Revenue Assistance Pay-ments (SURE) Program.
“USDA stresses to all eli-gible producers to be aware of this deadline,” said executive director, Kelly Springs.
“SURE covers producers on farms in disaster counties that incurred crop production, crop-quality losses or both. But to qualify, farmers need to file now. I highly encourage Polk County producers to visit the
USDA Farm Service Agency Office at 61 Triple Springs Rd., Hendersonville.” said Springs.
To be eligible, producers must have suffered at least a 10 percent production loss on a crop of economic significance and obtained a policy or plan of insurance under the federal crop insurance act or the Nonin-sured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP), for all eco-nomically significant crops. A producer must have a farming interest physically located in a county that was declared a pri-mary disaster county or contigu-ous county by the secretary of
Agriculture under a Secretarial Disaster Designation or have actual production on the farm that was less than 50 percent of the normal production on the farm due to a natural disaster.
A producer interested in sign-ing up for SURE for their 2009 crops must do so before close of business July 29, at the county FSA office servicing the produc-er. For more information about USDA Farm Service Agency disaster assistance programs, visit the FSA office or disaster.fsa.usda.gov/
