Polk County library director Pumphrey resignsby Leah Justice

After 16 years of serving Polk County as library director, Mark Pumphrey has resigned.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson announced Pumphrey’s resignation last week during a commissioner’s meeting and wished him well in his new venture.

Pumphrey has accepted the deputy director position at the El Paso, Texas Library. He will be-gin his new position on Sept. 27 and will be leaving Polk County effective Sept. 17.

“It is with regret that I an-nounce my resignation as the director of the Polk County Library,” Pumphrey said in his letter of resignation. “Since I joined Polk County government in 1994, I have seen much posi-tive growth in library services for the people of Polk County and many of you have played a part in making the dream a reality. We have many points of pride to reflect back on. I wish for all of you the very best the future can bring.”

In 2006, Pumphrey was named N.C. Librarian of the

Year in 2006 by the N.C. Public Library Directors Association. The award recognized Pumphrey for his numerous contributions to the local community, as well as to state and national library organizations.

By the end of 2006, Pumphrey had achieved two of his primary goals as library director: a new li-brary was built in Polk County, and the town of Saluda had a new branch library.

Pumphrey also increased the li-brary staff, adding a reference and adult services librarian and a full-time circulation assistant.

Over the years, the library has maintained a productive relationship with the Bill and Melinda Bates Foundation, which included an invitation for Pumphrey to speak on a panel of three librarians at the American Library Association's summer conference in Toronto about

mark pumphrey

the local successes associated with the earlier receipt of Gates computer grants. The value of that collaboration became evi-dent once again in 2006, when the foundation provided 12

new Gates com-puters just prior to the opening of the new main li-brary in June of that year.

Pumphrey was elected to the On-line Computer Library Center (OCLC) Global Council of the OCLC Americas Region Council in Washington, D.C. while serving as

Polk County library director. The Americas Region encompasses all of North and South America. Delegates to the OCLC global council are nominated to as-sure equal representation on the council of libraries of all types and sizes, and from all corners of the world. Only two public library directors were added to the global council at that time

from the Americas region, one representing a large, urban library in Canada; and Pumphrey, who represented the interests and con-cerns of small and rural libraries from throughout the Americas.

During his years in Polk County, Pumphrey also has been active in other community organizations. He has held lead-ership positions with the Polk County Partnership for Children, helped to form the Rutherford/Polk Smart Start Partnership and served as e-Champion for e-Polk, a nonprofit organization provid-ing high-speed fiber optic Inter-net connectivity to the area.

He has been a member of the NCKnows Advisory Com-mittee for the State Library of North Carolina and served on the archives and public library development committees of the North Carolina Public Library Directors Association.

Pumphrey also served on the American Library Association Committee on Literacy.

Commissioners did not indi-cate when they will advertise for a new library director during the announcement last week.

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.

Polk EDC creates job task forceThe Polk County Economic Development Commission has created a jobs task force. The EDC plans to mobilize talented individuals in Polk County who can offer sound advice for businesses. The board will send out 75 invi-tations to business persons for a meeting at the Polk County Library on Sat., Oct. 2 at 10 a.m.

Polk veterans service director hoursThe Polk County Board of Commissioners on Tuesday agreed to increase the hours worked by the county’s veterans service director from 24 hours per week to 32 hours per week. The change is the result of an increased workload. The number of clients handled by Polk veterans services has increased recently from 600 clients to more than 1,000 annually, with 25 percent of those clients having cases that involve claims. Veterans services is located at the Meeting Place Senior Center building off Skyuka Road near Columbus.

Polk approves N.C. Forest Service agreement Polk commissioners last week approved the county’s annual agreement with the N.C. Forest Service for pro-tection in Polk County. The agreement is for $133,524 with 60 percent funded by the state and 40 percent funded by Polk County.

Polk appoints Brown to EDCThe Polk County Board of Commissioners last week appointed Jeff Brown to the county’s economic develop-ment commission. Other re-appointments to the board are scheduled for the county’s next meeting on Sept. 20.

Greener campus for Spartanburg Day SchoolSpartanburg Day School has created a newer, greener campus. A total of $3.4 million was spent upgrading the main building during the three summer months while students were on break.The private school this summer built a brand new athletic complex and retrofitted, more energy-efficient main building — seeking LEED (Leader-ship in Energy & Environmental Design) certification. Construction on the $4.8 million eco-friendly Upper School is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2011. Once the construction cycle is complete, the Day School will be one of the “greenest” schools in the state. The efficiency project was largely funded with a $2 mil-lion donation from brothers Roger and Gerrish Milliken. School leaders used the money to replace windows and doors, install energy-efficient fixtures and lighting throughout the nearly 50-year-old building and drill wells for a new geothermal HVAC system that uses the Earth’s natural energy to heat and cool the school. The $3.6 mil-lion athletic complex adds a second gymnasium to the Day School campus. The gym features two full courts and stadium seating for about 650 people. The athletic complex also features an activities room, fitness and weight room, office space and new locker rooms.

Whitson said the total of tax revenues collected exceeds the amount of tax revenues the county budgeted for last year. Last year's county budget for property taxes,

including the solid waste fee, was for approximately $12,200,000. The total of billed taxes was ap-proximately $700,000 over the budgeted amount of revenue, and the county is ahead almost $300,000 so far on collections for last year’s taxes.

Ormand 'thrilled' to bring Four Winds back to town

After a five year hiatus, Four Winds Florist has moved back into downtown Tryon.

Owner Carole Ormand, a Polk County native, expressed much excite-ment over the move.

“Four Winds has been in Try-on since the 1940s and is a part of this town’s history,” Ormand said. “I am so thankful to Har-old Burrell and his family for giving me the opportunity to bring it back into town.”

Carole started with Four Winds Florist in 1991 and has

been witness to many changes. She was hired as a delivery per-son and within six months be-gan designing flower arrange-

ments. With no formal training, she drew on her natural artistic ability and love of flowers.

“Over the years I was lucky to work with some very talented designers and I learned a little more from each one of them,” Ormand said.

The one thing that never



changed was Carole’s desire to own Four Winds. In 2009, 18 years of persistence finally paid off. Moving back into town, she said, is “the icing on the cake.”

New customers, well-wish-ers and just friends stopping by for a chat have increased the shop’s walk-in traffic substan-tially, Ormand said.

“I’ve settled into my new space in the Burrell’s Fuel building and I don’t see any-thing uprooting me. I brought Four Winds Florist back to Tryon and this is where it will stay!" said Ormand, who invites everyone to stop by and check out the business in its space.

The shop hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Fri-day and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday. The new telephone number is 828-858-9545. After hour appointments are available with just a phone call.

The date for a grand opening celebration this fall will be an-nounced soon.

AG Cooper offers tips for back to school safetyAttorney General Roy Coo-

per recently offered tips to help parents get their children back to school safely and ready to learn as the traditional school year begins.

“Giving our children a safe and successful school year means more than buying the right pencils and backpacks,” Cooper said. “A few simple steps can give parents some peace of mind so they can focus on helping their kids learn.”

Cooper’s office offers parents the following safety tips:

• Sign up to get email alerts when a registered sex offender moves near your home or your child’s school, daycare, or after-school activities. Visit the sex of-fender website, available at www.ncdoj.gov, to sign up for email alerts, and encourage your child’s school to sign up for alerts as well. You can also use the site to search for registered offenders and view maps and aerial photographs that pinpoint where they live.

• Check to make sure your child’s school has a current safety plan. Ask if they’ve put together their Critical Incident Response Kit, which should contain every-thing a school needs to respond to a crisis, like blueprints, keys, rosters and emergency plans. Coo-per’s office helped distribute the kits to all North Carolina schools. Ask if teachers have been trained and what you should do as a par-ent if a crisis occurs at school. Check out the list of schools that have put together their kit and provided training for teachers.

• Make sure your child’s school, day care and after school activities screen their employees including background checks. Visit and get to know the people who spend time with your children.

• Consider carefully the ques-tions a school asks about student privacy, for example, whether you are OK with having a photo of your child used on the school website or taken by a news orga-nization. if the school doesn’t ask, inquire about its policy.

• Update your list of emer-gency contacts and give a current copy to your child’s school and any after school programs. Make sure that everyone on your con-tact list knows key information, such as how to get to your child’s school, your pediatrician’s name and number, alarm codes for your house, etc.

• Ask the school to notify you if your child doesn’t arrive at school, and let the school know who is authorized to pick up your child. Make sure your children know who would pick them up in case of an emergency or if you aren’t able to.

• Make sure young children know their full name, parent’s name, address and phone number. You may also want to consider getting an ID card from the NC Division of Motor Vehicles for your child to carry.

• Be careful to protect your child’s identifying information, like Social Security numbers, from strangers. Identity thieves will use an unsuspecting child’s information to open credit lines without parents’ knowledge. Only give identifying information when

necessary, and when you do, ask how it will be used and how the organization plans to protect the information.

• Talk to your kids about how to stay safe from strangers, even on the Internet. Set ground rules for Internet use, agree on web sites that are OK to visit and explain what is appropriate or not to do or view online. Easy to use tools that can help you protect your children online, including a video and resource guide, are available free from Cooper’s office at www.ncdoj.gov.

• Consider carefully the age and maturity of your children be-fore deciding to let them use social networking sites. If you decide to allow it, be sure to read the site’s safety tips, utilize its privacy set-tings, and provide extra supervi-sion. Also, talk to teens about how social networking sites can cause problems if people post inappro-priate messages and embarrassing photos or respond to scams.

• Talk to your kids about mobile phone use as well. Many young people today have mobile phones that can be used to access the Internet. Kids need to know

that the same safety rules apply if they use their phones to go online. Teens also need to be reminded about the dangers of texting or talking on the phone while driv-ing. The National Safety Council estimates that 28 percent of car crashes are due to drivers talking or texting on their cell phones, and research suggests the risks may be even greater for inexperienced drivers.

• Talk to school staff about In-ternet safety, too. Computers can be a wonderful learning tool, and many children now have access to the Internet in classrooms and school libraries. Ask your child’s school how they protect their students when they go online, and let them know that Internet safety tools for teachers are also avail-able at www.ncdoj.gov.

• Encourage your children to talk to you about anything that makes them feel scared or uncomfortable. Teach your kids which trusted adults (such as grandparents, teachers, school resource officers, a neighbor you know and trust) they can also turn to when they need help.

N.C. State Beekeepers Association, NCDA&CS target adulterated honey

The N.C. State Beekeepers Association, working in coopera-tion with the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is taking steps to pre-vent the sale of honey products containing additives, such as corn syrup, that are marketed as pure honey.

The beekeepers association recently adopted standards for individuals offering honey for sale in the state. The guidelines will apply to all honey produced by honey bees from nectar or honeydew.

When a consumer reports a suspected violation of the standards, representatives of the association’s Honey Standards Board will sample and test the honey for purity, and advise the seller of any potential problems detected.

“Sellers who fail to comply with the standards will be fully reviewed by the standards board and referred to our Food and Drug Protection Division for further re-view and potential action,” said Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler. “Consumers should feel confident that when they are buy-ing pure honey, they’re getting pure honey.”

Dr. John Ambrose, an N.C. State University entomology professor and former state api-culturist, said: “The adoption of a honey standard is needed for two

reasons. There is a clear need to protect the integrity of our honey such that people buying honey will know they are getting the real thing. Secondly, this is an initial step in addressing the increasing problem of honey imported from foreign countries that frequently contains contaminates.”

Beekeepers have been pe-titioning the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to adopt a nationwide honey standard for more than two decades. To date, there has been no resolution at the federal level.

“There have been numerous instances where a product labeled as sourwood honey, a premium honey produced in western North Carolina, has been mislabeled and sold,” said Charles Heath-erly, a representative of the beekeepers association. “This joint initiative is expected to greatly curtail those unscrupu-lous producers that would like to turn a nice profit by labeling an inferior product as sourwood honey, which sells for as much as $10 a pound.”

North Carolina Beekeepers produce an estimated $15 mil-lion worth of honey each year, said Dr. David Tarpy, state api-culturist at NCSU. The value of honey bee pollination for North Carolina crops is estimated at $185 million, he said.

Tryon stage veteran returns to direct TLT season opener

by rita E. landrum

Millicent Hunnicutt was a professional by age 15. It was a long way from her cousin Pat’s dance school to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and even farther to a career as an actor in some of the best theaters in the Southeast.

Daughter of Peggy and Char-lie Hunnicutt, well known from Tryon Little Theater and other area productions, Millicent’s gifts were revealed early. She be-gan studying dance when barely out of toddlerhood and was acting and singing in Broadway scenes by age eight at the Flat Rock Playhouse. Wendy Wilkins Bai-ley gets credit for instilling Mil-licent’s early love of theater.

“She showed me the impor-tance of children’s theater and how to showcase each child. We were all stars to her.”

Now grown up Millicent, who originated the role of house-keeper “Puny” Bradshaw in the premiere production of “Wel-come to Mitford” at the Blow-ing Rock Stage Company in September 2007, will direct this same play as TLT’s 2010-2011 season opener.

“I’m thrilled to have the op-portunity to do this,” she says. “I’m excited about my cast and I can’t wait to share this show. It brings Jan Karon’s heart-

warming Mitford series to life in a way that only good theater can.” Playwright Robert Inman plans to attend opening night on September 23 and will speak at the Lanier Library that afternoon at 2 p.m.

Millicent’s Tryon Little The-ater debut was as a little princess in “The King and I” with Chris-tine and Stephen Fitch. She audi-tioned at age 13 for what turned out to be one of her favorite roles – Little Red Riding Hood in Stephen Sondheim’s stunning “Into the Woods,” directed by Elvin Clark.

“It was amazing! This show changed my life!” she exclaimed. To add to the headiness, the cast and audience sang “Happy Birthday” to her at the final cur-tain call. There was no stopping 14-year-old Millicent after that.

She began to participate in anything that would make use of any or all of her already well-developed skills. She performed with the Foothills Savoyards in their Gilbert and Sullivan produc-tions and joined the Community Chorus. Other Tryon productions include “Camelot,” “The Music Man,” and “Sherlock Holmes,” as well as many scholarship benefit productions.

In 2000, Millicent was award-ed the Sue Hipps Scholarship, which was created to honor TLT

favorite Sue Hipps. In the sum-mer of 2002, while enrolled at Lees McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C., Millicent returned to Tryon to direct and choreograph the TLT/Tryon Youth Center production of “School House Rock Live, Jr.”

In 2004, Millicent received her B.S. degree in musical theater and dance from Lees McRae. She has performed in venues such as Blowing Rock Stage Company (where in addition to appearing in the “Welcome to Mitford” premiere, she taught tap dancing for children’s theater classes), Showpalace Dinner Theatre (Fl.), Broadway Palm (Fl.), Greenbrier Valley Theatre (W.V.), Wohl-fahrt Haus Dinner Theatre (Va.), Lees McRae Summer Theatre, and North Carolina’s own Flat Rock Playhouse.

An advocate for the arts in the public school system, Millicent spent this past summer at Camp Ton-a-Wandah as the evening program coordinator. She di-rected girls ages 6 to 15 in a play she wrote and taught advanced dance classes while coordinat-ing dance, drama, gymnastics, and music.

The Tryon Little Theater box office is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Workshop, located at 516 South Trade Street. Performance dates are September 23 through

25 at 8 p.m., September 26 at 3 p.m., and September 30 through October 2 at 8 p.m., October 3 at 3 p.m. All performances will be held at the Workshop. For more information, call 828-859-2466.

TBO to raffle quilt October 16

Queen size quilt being raffled by TBo. (photo submitted)

The Thermal Belt Outreach is selling raffle tickets for a hand-made queen size quilt with “The Bow Tie” design. The bow tie pat-tern appeared as early as 1890 and became popular again in the 1930s with a revival in the 1980s.

The raffle will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 16, at the close of the Outreach yard sale at the Mill Spring Agricultural Devel-opment Center. Tickets are avail-able at the following locations:

Tryon Federal in Tryon, Tryon Federal in Columbus, Carolina First Bank and Mountain First Bank in Columbus. Tickets are also available at the Thermal Belt Out-reach office located at 134 White Drive in Columbus. If you have questions, call 828-894-2988.


Fresh produce at TBO September 15The Thermal Belt Outreach,

supported by Manna FoodBank of Asheville, will be distributing perishable vegetables Wednes-day, September 15 from 3:30 to 4:15 p.m. for those who can use this produce. The food is free of charge and must not be resold.

If you need to pick up pro-duce for someone who cannot come to Thermal Belt on this day, they will need a note from

that person stating who is pick-ing up the produce for them. It must be signed and a telephone number given for verification of this request.

Outreach never knows until the day before distribution how much or which vegetables will be available. Distribution will be in the Food Pantry located at 134 White Drive in Columbus (pass the Columbus Baptist Church

on Houston Road, turn left on White Drive before going under the 74 highway bridge).

If there are questions, call Outreach at 828-894-2988. Clients may also call this num-ber on the day of distribution to learn which vegetables will be available. Participants are asked to bring their own bags or boxes.
