808pointed a historic committee
that has created a city hall res-toration subcommittee. Saluda has earmarked $15,000 in this year’s budget for work on city hall. The committee plans to raise additional money through grants for the project.
“The Saluda City Hall, pre-viously restored in 1986, has suffered from deferred mainte-nance,” said Horton’s prelimi-nary conditions assessment and estimate. “The conditions of the exterior features and materi-
als are becoming increasingly deteriorated. Continual water infiltration through the roof, masonry and sheet metal has also led to damage on the inte-rior and may also have caused hidden damage to the structural wood framing. The wood store-front exhibits deterioration in several areas which has led to water infiltration into the build-ing interior.”
City council has discussed for several years deteriorat-ing conditions at city hall. At one time, council members

considered building a new city hall and police department, but residents told city officials they want the city to restore the historic structure rather than constructing a new building.
Constructed between 1897 and 1906, the building is a two-story, brick masonry bearing wall structure.
“A wood-framed, three-bay storefront exhibits large glazed openings and transoms typical of late 19th and early 20th century commercial storefronts,” says Horton’s report. “A doorway in the center leads directly to a stairway ascending to the second floor. This doorway is flanked by nearly identical storefront bays with double doors set back in flared recessed entrances.”
Horton details many deterori-ating conditions of the building, including roof and chimney is-
sues, crumbling brick and rotting wood throughout the building. He gives recommendations as to how the city should make the repairs to retain the building’s historic significance.
“All recommendations in this report are made in accor-dance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for His-

toric Preservation Projects and with respect to preserving the historical characteristics that make the building significant,” said Horton’s report. “Prior to proceeding with project design and specification, additional assessment and analysis of the
building should be conducted. Assessment would include se-lective demolition of features to allow for inspection of hidden conditions. Analysis would include a structural engineer-ing study of wood framing and masonry bearing walls.”

New York Times story features former Polk exchange studentDing Yinghan of Beijing,
China, a former exchange student at Polk County High School, is now a junior at Ham-ilton College in upstate New York. He is on a full scholarship, is number one in his class and is spending this year at Dartmouth on a dual-degree engineering program.
Sandy, as he was known to Polk County students, was one of several Chinese students fea-tured in a recent New York Times
article on the growing number of Chinese undergraduates study-ing in American colleges and universities.
Jim Jackson, who has been active in the Polk County chap-ter of the American Field Ser-vices (AFS) for many years, said Sandy was first in his class at Polk County High School in calculus, American history, English and cooking.
According to the New York Times article, which ran on Nov.
7 in the “Educational Life” sec-tion, Ding was accepted early admission to Hamilton College after his year in Polk County. He founded the bridge club at Hamilton, ran the Ping-Pong team, wrote for the student newspaper and tutored in chem-istry, physics and economics for $8.50 an hour.
The article said Ding’s parents pushed him to study abroad because they have little faith in the Chinese education
system.“In the U.S. they focus on
creative-thinking skills, while in China they only focus on theory,” Ding’s mother, Meng Suyan, was quoted as saying. “So what university students learn here doesn’t prepare them for the real world.”
According to the article, Ding said, “Chinese values require me to be a good listener, and Western values require me to be a good speaker.”
metal were originally installed upside down. During the previ-ous restoration in the late-1980s, Horton’s report said, these panels were replaced to replicate this original construction error.
Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden said last month a rough estimate for the total project is prob-ably in the $2 million range, although no official estimate
has been done.“I don’t think we would be
willing to take on a $2 million tax increase,” Baisden said as he mentioned plans for the committee to seek funding through state and local grants. “But if we don’t stop the bleed-ing and stop the building from deteriorating, the building will be worth nothing.”

Polk girls basketball team wins, boys lose in home openerby Jordan DeVere
On Wednesday, Dec. 1, the Polk County Wolverines bas-ketball teams held their home opener versus the West Hender-son Falcons.
Both the Wolverines varsity and junior varsity men’s teams lost, but both of the girl’s teams came out on top.
The night started well for the Wolverines as the JV girls won a close contest 40-37, with Makenzie White leading the Wolverines with 16 points.
The Varsity girls continued this momentum, winning a close one against a good West team. Polk jumped out to an early lead thanks to Melinda Morgan, who rebounded well on both the of-fensive and defensive ends of the floor. She also scored 11 points. The first half ended with Polk in the lead 22-15.
When the second half started, West came out with a renewed intensity and went on a 7-0 run to tie the game early. Polk bounced back, following the lead of Jamie Hrobak, who cleaned up most of Polk’s missed shots and consis-tently finished in the paint. Hrobak ended the game with 11 points.
It was a very physical game, with elbows being thrown on both sides. As the game came down to the wire, Polk opened up a slim lead. With the help of Al-yssa Montgomery’s (#11) clutch free throws, the Lady Wolverines iced the game and held on to win 53-48.
The boys’ varsity game started off much like the girls’
varsity game, with Polk jumping out to an early lead thanks to the hot hands of
Stephen Staley and Deion Twitty behind the arc.
Twitty went on to lead the team scoring with 16 points, and Staley was right behind with 14.
The game was plagued with a ton of fouls on both sides. The first quarter ended with an un-precedented total of 10 fouls.
As the first half ended the Wolverines still held on to a slim 33-31 lead. In the second half, however, West proved to have just a little bit more depth as they outlasted Polk 59-54.
The Wolverines faced the Landrum Cardinals on Friday; look for a story on that game in the Friday, Dec. 10 Bulletin.

Letter to the Editor
Do it yourself Messiah To the Editor:
Thursday night’s heartfelt sing-along at the Tryon Fine Arts Center was well worth the year-long anticipation.
Conducted by a very confident Mark Schweizer and accompanied by Beth Child, our local pianist ex-traordinaire, all of us singers were in for a treat!
As in years before, once we entered the hall you sat according to your singing section, using large signs reading “Sopranos,” “Altos,” “Tenors” and “Basses” near the stage as guides. For those in the crowd there to listen, you could sit anywhere, including the balcony. Of special noteworthiness are the talented soloists from Converse College, all graduate students of Ms. Rebecca Turner, the associate professor of voice at CC. There were a large number of Commu-nity Chorus singers in attendance as well.
As a longtime chorister my-self, I was awed by the spirited and impeccably pitch-perfect so-prano, Donna Gallagher, whose animated and powerful singing just enchanted us all. She clearly was
smiling and enjoying her pieces to the fullest.. A more serious Aine Mulvey (mezzo-soprano) and Na-than Martin (tenor) were extremely well-prepared and professional in their delivery, and bass singer Maurice Hendricks rounded out his solos with depth, richness and clarity amid his lengthy dreadlocks and black suit.
As any Handel lover would know by heart, the Hallelujah Chorus is the highlight of this time-less musical powerhouse. True to past presentations, this group of singers/musicians was every bit as enthusiastic and giddy at the final “hallelujah” as any other crowd, and I was very proud and moved to tears at this climatic moment. Recognition is in order for all the folks involved in contributing to the preparation and experience of this concert, namely, ACTS Retirement-Life Communities and the Polk County Community Foundation.
Randy Grobe served as stage director, and of course, Mr. Mark Schweizer did an impeccable job directing this large mob of music lovers with humor and grace. Once again, Tryon Fine Arts Center and those who support it did a wonder-ful thing for Tryon.
Let the holidays begin!— Nancy Eriksen

Alcoholism, addiction support group meets Monday nightsA gathering of adult Chris-
tians who have family members or friends who are affected by the family disease of alcoholism/ad-diction meets at the Green Creek Community Center each Monday night from 7:15 - 8:15 p.m.
Organizers say this is not a counseling program. Instead, this
is a non-professional group of peers who will gather together in fellowship each Monday evening to discuss issues and gain support concerning the family disease of alcoholism/addiction.
The group chose Green Creek Community Center as the best location choice to help protect
the anonymity of all group mem-bers. Anonymity is a spiritual principal that will be respected in these group meetings. All denominations, gender and ethnic groups are welcome and encouraged to attend. Informa-tion will be available concern-ing Al-Anon and celebrate
recovery fellowship programs in the area.
Members will be encouraged to enhance their program by at-tending these other fellowships if they so choose.
Teens are welcome when ac-companied by an adult parent.

Music Alive to appear in Tryon Dec. 11mike reeves anD mark levin of music alive.
Take Mark Levin as “Colum-busMark’s One-Man-Band” on the keyboard and combine that with Saluda’s Mike Reeves on the guitar and you end up with an entire band (even an orchestra) coming out of two instruments. The two, known as Music Alive, come together in a blend of music spanning the generations and multiple genres for an evening of en-tertainment on Saturday, Dec. 11 at the Trade Street Gallery Coffee House in downtown Tryon. The come-as-you-are event starts at 7 p.m. and will last until 9. There’s no charge for listening and coffee and treats are available for a nomi-nal charge.
Musical selections could range from George Gershwin
and Hoagy Carmichael tunes to Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams. And this close to the holidays, you’ll likely hear a Christmas song or two.
Levin and Reeves are known around these parts as two-thirds of the Saluda Ridge Band when they combine their talents with local lead guitarist Rich Bauer. As a solo act, Levin as “ColumbusMark’s One-Man-Band” is a rock star on the retirement home circuit. Levin and Reeves together as Music Alive have been playing events from Asheville to Greenville including festivals, banquets, and private parties.

Thank you Mr. Jenkins for correcting the misinformation I passed on in my letter to the Tryon Daily Bulletin.
I have written many letters to this newspaper over six and a half years and this is the only one when the information I was trying to pass on was incorrect – not too bad a record. I never
said I was infallible. You are absolutely correct that I should have verified the facts and you can be sure I will in the future.
Actually, you can’t know how happy I am that I was wrong. Thank heavens we will not be taped for every monetary transaction we make at our own banks.
Having said all of the above, please notice that H.R. 4646 was introduced by a Democrat from Pennsylvania to, among other things, pay down an ex-cessive national debt. Based on President Obama’s past perfor-
mance of more government in our lives than we want, it was easy to believe that this would be the next intrusion.
The past election indicates that most Americans are not happy with the many changes taking place in Washington. We will see if the Republicans can restore America to fiscal responsibility for which we all yearn.
Thank you for being such an excellent watchdog for our lo-cal newspaper. I end with mea culpa, mea culpa!
— Annette Koluch
Letter to the Editor
Be careful what you wish forTo the Editor:
I hope we don’t get on the Oprah show. It will only attract people to our area. Most people do not own businesses. We don’t want a population increase - more traf-fic, noise, competition for parking spaces. We value our open spaces and don not want more housing developments. And, the inevitable, increased taxes.
— Don Ellenberger

of Polk County recently recog-nized several group efforts that commission members say have really helped the way things look in Polk County.
In October, volunteers par-ticipated in the Big Sweep and cleaned up over a half ton of trash along five miles of Green River and more than ¾ of a mile of Vaughn’s Creek on the proposed Vaughn Creek Greenway in Tryon. Many of the volunteers were from the Polk County High School ‘Green Team.’
The 37 Adopt-a-Highway groups in Polk County commit to picking up litter along a two-mile stretch four times a year. These litter-free areas make a good impression on area visitors and show that Polk County does have
pride in keep-ing things clean. Check out other areas that still need adopting at Beautifulfoot-hills.org.
Another group that got the commission’s attention for clean-ing up an area is the Saluda Com-munity Land Trust (SCLT). The group has been behind an effort to keep kudzu from taking over
the Saluda area of Polk County.At a demonstration site along
Ozone Drive (the road off the interstate leading to Saluda) the “scillets” were seen digging out kudzu roots and crowns every Thursday morning for the last three months. This “learning by doing” demonstration area touched a real focal point leading into Saluda.
Commission members say they hope the folks who helped save this spot will continue their work in other areas of the county. The appearance commission has trees as its main focus and kudzu kills trees. The group says it is working on saving Polk County’s trees.
