Removing tanks costs less than studyby Leah Justice
After being requested by the Town of Tryon to conduct a phase II study on the Jervey-Palmer building, Polk County plans to ask Tryon if it would rather the county simply remove the tanks.
The Polk County Board of Commissioners met Monday, Nov. 19 and directed staff to ap-proach Tryon with the proposal.
Polk County has offered to give Tryon the Jervey-Palmer building, with Tryon having someone interested in taking the building in exchange for paying for the town a new maintenance building.
Tryon originally asked the county to conduct a phase I study, which found asbestos and lead paint as well as concerns regarding two underground oil tanks.
Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson told commissioner that he obtained an estimate from Altamont Engineering in the amount of $17,926 for a phase II study.
“I’m not real sure what to recommend to the board on this,” Whitson said. “I want to cooper-ate with Tryon and help them but something bothered me about the price so I asked Altamont wouldn’t it be cheaper just to remove those tanks.”
Altamont’s estimate on re-moving the tanks is $13,000 to
Polk County wants to remove tanks at Jervey-Palmer
$15,000, Whitson said.“I’m trying to think about
what’s best long term,” Whitson said.
If the donation to Tryon fell through for some reason, Whit-son said, and the county decided to tear the building down 10 years from now, those tanks could be an issue.
Commissioner vice-chair Renée McDermott expressed concern over the county spend-ing money on a phase II saying it is normally the buyer who pays for such studies. She also expressed the same concern prior to the county paying for the phase I study.
McDermott said she doesn’t know whether regulations still allow it but it used to be allowed to close in tanks so it may be possible to leave the tanks in the ground.
Tryon Town Council met Tuesday, Nov. 20, but had not yet been contacted by the county. Council was updated what the county proposed and decided to discuss the matter in closed session following the meeting.
The county decided earlier this year that the best use of the Jervey-Palmer building would be to donate it to Tryon, since its located and zoned within town limits. The county hired Altamont Engineering for $2,400 to conduct the phase I study.
The county vacated the build-ing last year after housing county offices there, including the de-partment of social services and the senior center since the 1970s.

ther close or merge with Columbus.Both Tryon’s ABC board and
town council have said they think the store could be made profitable and do not want to see it close permanently.
Tryon Commissioner George Baker said with Martin and ABC board members he thinks it could be made profitable. Baker also said the town needs a break on the rent.
“I think between (Martin) and a couple of people on the board, let’s see if we can make this thing possible,” Baker said.
Commissioner Doug Arbogast
said one of the store’s problems is its location.
“The location is terrible,” Ar-bogast said. “I’m for breaking the lease and moving it somewhere else.”
Baker added that the store being closed is a huge black mark for the town and an inconvenience to the residents.
Council came to a consensus for Martin to work on a plan to get the store reopened.
Tryon’s ABC store has strug-gled for years, with the store not producing a profit for the town since 2007. The ABC board has also been recently reformed, with the board not being able to meet
for months this year due to lack of members. Council also on Tuesday appointed Richard Rardin as chair of the ABC board. Other members are Dennis Durham and Debra Isabell.
ABC board members met in October and again on Nov. 19 and have said they think with the right management and the board being more involved, the store could be profitable.
The store has remained closed since Sept. 7 with the inventory be-ing sold to pay bills. The Columbus store is selling to Tryon’s restau-rants while Tryon’s store is closed.
Town officials have said repeat-edly that the relocation of the store
several years ago from downtown to South Trade Street hurt business especially due to the store now be-ing in close proximity to the South Carolina line, which has an ABC store just over the line and sells liquor cheaper than North Carolina. A few restaurants in Tryon have also closed, which hurt the ABC store’s business.
Tryon has run an ABC store since 1951 and for many years was the only ABC store in Polk County, which remains a dry county, except for in the towns.
Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said last month that at one time Tryon’s ABC store profited over $200,000 annually.

The Polk County Community Foundation recently awarded Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry (Outreach) a Dr. William R. Bosien Fund Grant in the amount of $6,250.
The grant will be used to provide prescription drugs and dental care to Outreach clients.
“We are extremely grateful to the Polk County Community Foundation and to the generosity and forethought of Dr. Bosien,” said Outreach Executive Director Carol Newton.
While Outreach does not provide direct medical or dental services, local medical facilities often refer low-income patients to the agency for assistance.
“We frequently work with clients who are in the ‘gap’ period between receiving a prescription and becoming enrolled in one of the prescription drug discount programs,” said Newton. “With respect to dental care, we see many clients at the point when a dental concern becomes a medi-cal issue.”
When this becomes the case, Outreach then assists with pay-ments for emergency extractions, root canals and other necessary procedures.
“Many people know how expensive prescription drugs and dental care can be; how-ever, when you are uninsured, underinsured or waiting to meet
your insurance deductible, the costs can be truly shocking,” said Michelle Reedy, Outreach’s client service coordinator. “For example, we recently worked with an individual who had a pre-scription for a single medication that cost more than $1,600. These grant funds will allow Outreach to serve Polk County residents who are in dire need and have nowhere else to turn.”
Outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1991. The organization’s mission is to provide compassionate as-sistance to Polk County residents who are unable to provide for their basic life needs. For more information on Outreach, please visit www.tboutreach.org or call 828-894-2988.

The November Foothi l ls Music Club (FMC) meeting was held on Nov. 8 at the Red Fox home of member Jeanette Comer.
After FMC president Jeanette Shacke l ford ad journed the business section of the meeting, hostess and program chairperson Jeanette Comer introduced her “Programme,” Instruments and Songs of Elizabethan England.
It proved to be a fascinating afternoon, one full of different mus ica l ins t ruments , fac t s and talents of FMC members. Some members who played or sang that afternoon had never touched a recorder, a rebec, a clavichord or sung madrigals. Others had never worn ruffs provided by the hostess. One just needed to close one’s eyes to feel Elizabethan England.
King Henry VIII (1491-1547), an accomplished musician himself who owned 76 recorders,
composed the first number, “Pastime With Good Company.” This was performed by recorder p layers Jeanet te Comer on soprano, Elaine Jenkins on alto, Meryt Wilson on tenor and Karen Molnar on bass.
This talented quartet then played dance music Pavan and Galliarde (anon. 16th century). A short demonstration was given of the piccolo and sopranino recorders; also of the krummhorn, an instrument all were told was difficult to play due to its covered reed and one with an elementary sound.
Violinist, Kathleen Erwin, entertained with “Welch Daunce,” composed by organ builder John Bull (1563-1628). Erwin cleverly played this on the rebec, a three-stringed instrument.
Comer and Jenkins, on the lute and alto recorder respectively, played “Callino Custurame”
from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book, CLVIII. It was learned that the lute was a highly respected instrument , not only of al l plucked instruments, but of all instruments in that era.
Amy Brucksch and Comer, on classical guitar, performed with admirable dexterity and sound the lovely “The Queen’s Almain” by Thomas Campion (1567-1620) and “Toye for Two Lutes” by John Dowland (1563-1626).
N e x t , W i l l i a m B y r d ’s c o m p o s i t i o n ( 1 5 3 8 - 1 6 2 3 ) , “Carmen’s Whistle” was well performed by pianist Shackelford on the harpsichord.
T h e r e c o r d e r q u a r t e t mentioned above then joined her to play “Sellenger’s Round,” also by William Byrd. At this point in the program, it was a mentioned, after a short demonstration, that the clavichord was the precursor to the piano.
The strings are hit, whereas the harpsichord’s are plucked. The clavichord has a very soft sound and was never played in public due to this softness.
The vocal and very enjoyable s e g m e n t o f t h e a f t e r n o o n was in two parts: Songs from Shakespeare’s plays, “Rest Sweet Nymphs” by Francis Pilkington (1565-1638) and “Tomorrow is St. Valentine’s Day,” a traditional melody from the 1500s and one of Ophelia’s mad songs from “Hamlet”; and Madrigals by foremost composer Thomas Morley (1557-1602), “April is in My Mistress’ Face” and “Sing We and Chant It.”
The former was performed by sopranos Jenkins and Comer; the latter by the quintet of Jenkins and Comer, alto Jeanette Shackelford, tenor Ellen Harvey Zipf and John

Four members of the Green-ville Foothills Pony Club recently reached their latest goal - obtaining their HB certification.
This purpose of testing in pony club is to measure and define each member’s current skill level and to recognize achievement. As a member progresses through the examination levels, they test with well qualified and well prepared examiners in an environment that encourages the candidate to “show and tell” what he/she knows. The HB certification is a knowledge-based oral test that lasts two days.
Members taking the test in-cluded:
Julia Gates, 17, who competes in mounted games, eventing, dressage and show jumping. She competed in England with the USPC Inter-national Games Team in 2010 and has also competed in Ireland. She is now a C3 rated pony clubber.
Darbie Barr, 14, is active in eventing, dressage and show jump-ing. She rides in any and all clinics available to her, trying to gain as much knowledge and experience as she can. This was Barr’s second national test this year. She is also a C3 rated pony clubber.
Samantha Messamer, 15, enjoys eventing on her horse and actively participates in pony club clinics, gaining as much experience as she

is an initiative of Polk County Public Schools. This is a program to assist high school students in taking college courses while still enrolled in high school.
Students can pursue a five-year program to achieve a high school diploma and a two-year associate’s degree. These stu-dents are motivated to achieve high goals, which include manag-ing projects for the good of the local community.
Recently the students, spear-headed by Mikayla Newton, focused on a project to benefit Foothills Humane Society (FHS). From August through October of this year, the students developed several creative ways to collect money and goods for the animals at the shelter. This even included an outdoor movie for Halloween evening; admission was pet sup-plies.
Kathy Toomey, FHS board member, recently picked up three boxes of overflowing goods for the cats and dogs under the care of Foothills Humane Society. “The effort of these students is overwhelming,” Toomey said. “They chose to focus on our char-itable organization, and they can be sure that all the work they did will directly benefit the animals.”
The boxes of pet supplies
were also accompanied by a monetary donation. Newton, a freshman in the program, led the project. Newton’s love of animals began at an early age.
“Stray animals seem to appear on my family farm and the lack of responsibility of pet owners is disturbing,” Newton said. “I am concerned for the health and safety of all animals and want to dedicate my spare time to improving their quality of life.”

Did you know that many St. Luke’s Hospital departments rely on volunteer help?
Volunteers at the reception desk in the hospital’s radiology department enjoy a fast-paced day of greeting patients.
Volunteers also help out in the pharmacy and with tasks such as filing in the business office, medical records and the foundation.
There are also WINGS vol-
St. Luke’s honors volunteers with 5,500 and 8,750 hoursunteers who deliver the mail within the hospital. On the wings of these special volunteers, all interdepartmental mail is deliv-ered daily. The daily couriers deliver lab results and mail to local physician offices.
St. Luke’s Hospital volun-teers who share their time and talents to make a difference in our community were recently honored with a luncheon.
Those volunteers honored
for 5,500 hours of service were John Hicks, Jane Janke and Jean Shumway. Honored for 8,750 hours of service was Virginia Clark.
A sincere appreciation is extended to all volunteers who share their time and talents so willingly on behalf of St. Luke’s Hospital.
