In addition to watching some of the TROT riders show their skills, the program includes exhibitions of stadium jumping, dressage, barrel racing, and a Pa-rade of Breeds with some rarely seen examples. And there's clog-ging, too.

Entertainment will be provid-ed by the Green Grass Cloggers, singer Mary Myers, and Paul's Creek Band. Horse trainer Caro-line Whittle and equestrian per-former Martha Hall are also part of the entertainment lineup.

All proceeds benefit TROT's community service for physi-cally and developmentally chal-lenged adults and children.

T.R.O.T., for children and adults with disabilities, was created in 2003. T.R.O.T. held its first class on June 1, 2004. Therapeutic equestrian pro-grams have provided both chal-lenges and rewards to people with physical, mental, emotional and social disabilities.

These disabilities may in-clude multiple sclerosis, autism, cerebral palsy, spinal cord inju-ries, Parkinson’s Disease and Down Syndrome. Victims of strokes and depression as well

as physical, mental or emotional abuse have benefited from this unique therapy.

The benefits of horseback riding are threefold:

1. Physical - The three-di-mensional motion of the horse provides the rider hip and back actions that simulates natural walking. Riding relaxes and strengthens muscles and im-proves body tone, posture, bal-ance, joint mobility, and coor-dination.

2. Emotional - Contact with horses and horsemanship train-ing provides a non-competitive setting for learning new abilities, self-discipline, and improved

news briefs

'Kudzilla' makes visit to SaludaA backhoe and forklift that has been modified to take on kudzu will be working near the intersection of Ozone and Thompson roads in Saluda today from 8 to 10 a.m. The Saluda Commu-nity Land Trust has been working to eradicate kudzu at the intersection without the use of chemicals, and has invited the public to see "Kudzilla" in action. The group says it will continue working each Thursday from 8 to 10 a.m. and always welcomes additional help.

More distribution for local BottleTree beer Tryon-based Bottle Tree beer is rapidly expanding its dis-tribution network. Fred Block, who created the BottleTree Blonde beer from his Campobello home, has reached agree-ments to distribute the Belgian style ale in Western North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and 12 counties on the Florida Panhandle. Block grew up in the Panhandle and his parents and brothers still live there. Block contracted with Pinnacle Imports to distribute the beer in Alabama and Florida. BottleTree reached a deal with Next Genera-tion Beer Co., to distribute the beer in Asheville and the Boone/Blowing Rock area. Next Generation says it plans to present the ale to restaurants in Hendersonville and Brevard. The beer has been available in Tryon, Landrum and the Spartanburg area.

Friends of Harmon Field to stay in operationThe Friends of Harmon Field organization, created to help raise funds supporting Harmon Field in Tryon, has decided to continue its efforts for at least another year, according to the group's president Lorna Rae Dever. She said members had questioned whether the group is still needed, but Benny Smith, chairman of the Harmon Field Board of Supervisors encouraged the group to stay together. He suggested the group try to add more members over the next year to build on its fundraising efforts. Friends of Harmon Field holds several fundraising events each year for the recreation facility, including the Tour de Leaves bicycle event coming up on the third Saturday of October.

Pets allowed at outdoor areas of restaurantsA state law revision allowing pets at outdoor dining areas took effect this week in North Carolina. The N.C. Department of Environmental and Natural Resources has put the new policy in place, allowing owners to have cats and dogs with them in outdoor dining areas as long as the pets are physically restrained. The pets also are not allowed in indoor areas of the restaurant and cannot come in contact with the food, food service items or food preparers.

NCDOT prepares for Hurricane EarlThe N.C. Department of Transportation is preparing to respond to Hurricane Earl on the ground and in cyberspace. In coastal communities, NCDOT crews are making sure that bulldozers and other equipment are ready to go and topped off with fuel. They also are taking inventory of barricades, evacuation and electronic signs and holding daily briefings on the storm, which may impact the Outer Banks area of the state later this week.

Tryon, Columbus freeze planner position to save fundsby Leah Justice

Both the towns of Colum-bus and Tryon have decided to save money and not fill a vacant planner position that was shared last year.

Former joint planner Mela-nie Sand resigned in July and Tryon and Columbus have each decided to hold off on rehiring in an attempt to save money. Sand worked for Tryon two days per week and for Co-lumbus three days per week.

Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree says the duties will be split between fire chief Joey Davis and himself for at least six months.

Davis will be officially ap-pointed as the town’s zoning administrator during Tryon Town Council’s meeting this month. Davis already does building fire inspections in town and Hembree says he will also do day-to-day permitting and enforcement of Tryon’s ordinances. Hembree says he will handle major issues.

Davis will begin taking code enforcement classes through the N.C. Institute of Government, although no cer-tifications are required. Hem-bree already holds a degree in planning. The transition could work long term for Tryon as Hembree says the town can

now be more responsive to requests because Sand only worked for the town two days per week.

Columbus has made the same short term decision not to rehire a planner. Newly hired town manager Jonathan Kanipe has assumed planning duties as well.

Kanipe says the relationship between Tryon and Columbus worked well and a future joint planner could be considered if needed. Kanipe says he is handling planning issues for at least another month.

The savings for both towns could be substantial if the position is completely taken out of the budgets. Columbus handled the expenses for Sand and was reimbursed a portion from Tryon.

The total planning depart-ment budget for Columbus was $39,825, including sal-ary, benefits and retirement, professional services, supplies, telephone, advertising and postage, dues and subscrip-tions and staff development.

Tryon reimbursed Colum-bus $9,152 for Sand’s salary, but Hembree says the sav-ings to the town is closer to $20,000, including supplies, certifications and dues Tryon also paid for the position.

Dinner tickets consist of din-ner from Stone Soup of Lan-drum, S.C., under the covered arena and the show. Bleacher seat ticketholders are invited to bring a picnic, no food will be sold.

There will be beer and wine for sale for those in bleacher seats.

"Professional Work at the best prices guaranteed!"

N.C. to receive $400 million in Race to the Top grant money

Carolina,” said board chairman Dr. Harrison. “It will allow us to accelerate implementation of the governor’s Career and Col-lege: Ready, Set, Go initiative. I appreciate the many supporters across the state who played such a vital role in crafting this winning proposal.”

“This will allow North Caro-lina to continue the tradition of being a leader in public educa-tion,” said superintendent At-kinson. “Through collaboration with state and local leaders, we are committed to putting every dime of the Race to the Top money to the best use possible for students.”

Education leaders across the state stepped up with their sup-port of the round two Race to the Top application, and the Gen-eral Assembly passed legislation aimed at better arming local school districts to implement the plan. Sherri Strickland, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, said, “I am proud of the work each NCAE local leader did with local superintendents and school boards to make North Carolina’s Race to the Top award possible. NCAE looks forward to continuing this partnership with Governor Perdue, Superinten-dent Atkinson and local school systems as we make this grant work for North Carolina students and educators.”

The Race to the Top award will be overseen by Dr. Har-rison and the state board, and superintendent Atkinson will be responsible for implementing the approved program.

“In recent days North Caro-lina has benefited from sig-nificant federal investments in education,” said Perdue. “Now we must put those new resources to good use – quickly, with the utmost efficiency and account-ability, and with an eye toward our one common goal: preparing every child for their 21st century futures.”

N.C. Governor Bev Perdue re-cently announced North Carolina will receive approximately $400 million in federal Race to the Top grant money. The award will fund continued implementation of Per-due’s Career and College: Ready, Set, Go! program, including:

• Recruiting and retaining qual-ity teachers and administrators,

• A comprehensive turnaround plan for low performing schools, and

• 21st century technology for assessing students’ needs.

“North Carolina’s children today are one step closer to be-ing guaranteed the best public education possible – something every child deserves. This grant will give us the resources to more aggressively implement our plan to ensure that all of our children graduate ready for a career, col-lege or technical training,” said Gov. Perdue.

“It won’t matter where they live; it won’t matter what their school looks like; it won’t matter what their parents do for a living. What will matter is that North Carolina leaders have joined together to support the best and most innovative approaches to public education this state has seen in a decade. I thank Sec. Duncan for recognizing North Carolina’s ability to lead in education reform, and I thank everyone who worked so hard to make this possible,” said Perdue.

Gov. Perdue led the application process and the team that traveled to Washington, D.C., earlier this month to interview with federal decision makers. Joining her were state board of education chair Dr. Bill Harrison, state school superin-tendent June Atkinson, executive director of the North Carolina Association of School Administra-tors Dr. Bill McNeal, and execu-tive director of the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation Glenn Kleimann.

Tryon’s 125th

Boyer to teach leather carving at TAC Sept. 11

Tryon Arts and Crafts will host an Introduction to Leather Carving weekend workshop with instructor Karl Boyer.

The weekend workshop will be held on Saturday, Sept. 11th and Sunday, Sept. 12th at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road. This workshop is designed to be informative, edu-cational, and above all, fun.

Leather carving is an exciting hobby and a continual learning process. This workshop is de-signed for those who have never tried leather carving.

The workshop will start with an introduction to leather, where it comes from, the tanning pro-cess, and products created from leather. Boyer will then discuss preparation of the leather, in-cluding making a pattern, and transferring the pattern to the leather surface. Finally he will introduce the tools including the swivel knife, mallet, camouflage tool, pear shader, beveler, veiner, seeder and background tools, and how they are used in carving.

These tools will be used to create two small projects. The first will be a stamping project, a coin purse. The second will be a bookmark carved and tooled using all of the tools that they have just become familiar with. A third project may be possible if time allows.

Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information about the in-structor or workshop including tuition and supply costs, please contact Tryon Arts & Crafts at (828) 859-8323 or by email [email protected]. More details and examples of projects are available on the Tryon Arts and Crafts website, www.TryonArtsandCrafts.org. We have a limited number of spaces available for this class so register soon!

Tryon Arts and Crafts is a non-profit crafts school located at 373 Harmon Field Road in Tryon, NC and exists to provide creative opportunities for every-one in a friendly, stimulating and enriching environment.

SPORTS10 TRYONDAILY BULLETIN / THE WORLD’S SMALLEST DAILY NEWSPAPER THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 2010

Well, you can put the foot-ball player in Congress, but you can’t take the football player out of the Congressman.

U.s. rep. Heath shuler (D-Waynesville) spent tuesday afternoon proving that with the polk County High school football team.

there was no mention of politics. No liberals. No democrats. No Blue Dogs. Just a bunch of Wolverines and one Maroon Devil.

this wasn’t the campaign trail as much as it was a quick trip down memory lane for shuler and a reminder of the trails and trials ahead for the 2-0 Wolverines.

“High school is where you develop those friendships and relationships that you’ll always have for the rest of your life,” shuler said. “I’m living back where I grew up (in swain) and a lot of these kids will live and work here in polk County. they’ll be going to the football games someday, and they’ll be watching their kids play.

“My hope is what they’ve instilled in the tradition at the school will carry over to the next generation.”

shuler knows a thing or two about high school football tradition. He won three state championships at swain County High school and was named N.C. player of the Year as a senior. He then went on to play at tennessee and was runner-up for the Heisman trophy as a junior for the Vols before

‘I saw something very, very special’Shuler tells Wolverines to make most of this chance

moving on to a disappointing and injury-shortened five-year career in the NFL with the Washington redskins and New orleans saints.

“I played in the NFL, and I played in college,” shuler told the players before heading to the practice field with them. “But there is no greater feel-ing than coming back to your hometown with a victory in a state championship. there is no greater feeling. . . . that bus ride home may be as memo-rable as anything because those are the guys you went to church with, those were the guys you had class with and you’ve been in the same class since first grade or kindergarten.”

shuler’s “seize-the-day” message went hand in hand with polk’s “this Is Next Year”

theme for the 2010 season.the Wolverines, ranked No.

6 in Class 2a by Maxpreps.com, have brought a senior-dominated team and no small degree of playoff frustration into the 2010 season.

But shuler saw something in polk’s 20-14 season-opening victory over tuscola that led him to visit for a pep talk and a little practice time.

“to be able to watch them play two Friday nights ago – the way they played against tuscola, I saw something very, very special that you don’t see

very often,” he said.“I saw it last year with

reynolds and got to go talk with them about setting the precedent, setting the tradition at their school, and they ulti-mately went on to win the state championship. I continue to see it here.”

Call it an “it factor” or team chemistry or whatever, but shuler has seen it before – and felt it before, firsthand. More importantly, he knows the grav-ity of recognizing it and taking it as far as possible.

“You’ll never get this day back,” he told the team. “everything you put in today will prepare you for the future. preparing for the future gives you the opportunity to play in that championship game.”

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.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take

lessons from a local profes-

sional. After about six weeks

of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding

Club Horse Trial at FENCE

where they won their dres-

sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country

But it’s only football, right? surely, a U.s. Congressman has bigger fish to fry somewhere on Capital Hill or a baby to kiss up in asheville?

“this is the most important

thing we can do as a part of the community,” said shuler. “this is what it’s all about. this is our future, right here.”

and if shuler is right again – as he was a year ago with reynolds – destiny could be waiting for the Wolverines.

right now.

Letter to the Editor

The world Nina grew up in To the Editor:

I read the letter to the editor Friday, Aug. 20, pg. 20 by Danny Hutcherson, “Pam Stone Statue” and Nina Simone. He states,” Nina Simone denounced this country and moved to France as soon as she could. Other folks have also denounced her for being unpa-triotic.

Most do not know the world Nina grew up in. They are either from other places, or there are

those who lived here and knew how to look the other way.

When I came to this area in the late 1940s (Saluda), I heard a man in the area tell a black man not to come through his front door and still work for him. He called him a racist name and said to go to the back door where he belonged.

When Nina gave her first recital at 13 in the Lanier Library, her mother and father were told they would have to move to the back and let white folks sit there. Nina said, “there will be no recital un-less my parents stay where they are.” The white couple sat in the back.

But what does it feel like to be told to get around to the back door? What does it feel like to be humili-ated? That’s the way it was in the world Nina grew up in.

In that world, why should the blacks have been patriotic, when in the south they were not allowed to be citizens of the United States, except on a piece of paper. Nina did come back to Tyon in the early 1970s and when she left she said, “nothing has changed much for the blacks in Tryon.”

And after she fought for over ten years for equal rights she also said the same thing about America.

I was living here in the 1970s and I saw what she saw in Tryon and she was right. Things got better long after she moved to France.

I grew up in a family (my mother was born in Tryon) with all the prejudices and we know how to look the other way too. But a couple of art students in New York opened a new window for me and then I met Carrie Lee Massey in Tryon and she opened a new door for me and showed me a way out.

If we all try to love each other we may discover a wonderful new highway we never travelled before. We have a way to go.

– Ron Mosseller

Advice for Young Adults

by Andy Millard

Warren Buffet is the richest man in the world. Depending on when you ask and who is do-ing the estimating, his fortune is valued at anywhere from $50 billion to over $62 billion. The guy has serious money.

Buffet is the perfect example of a self-made man. He started investing early. At age 15, he and a friend bought a used pinball machine for$25, which they placed in a barber shop for the custom-ers to play. At 26, he started an investment p a r t n e r s h i p company in his hometown of Omaha, Ne-braska.

Over the next years and de-cades, Buffet became both rich and famous. His steady, com-monsense approach to invest-ing, along with his plain-talking style, earned him the nickname “The Oracle of Omaha.” He’s regarded by many observers as the greatest investor of the twentieth century.

Buffet bought his first home in 1958, when he was 27, paying $31,500 for a modest house in a middle-class Omaha neighborhood. Why is this important to our discussion? Because he’s still there. As of this writing, he still lives in the same house over 50 years later. Inflation has increased its value to about $700,000, but it’s no mansion.

Contrast the Buffet home with that of Bill Gates, the sec-ond-wealthiest person in the world by most coun t s . The

Gates mansion was built in the 1990s on a lakeshore in Me-dina, Washington. According to Wikipedia.com (the source of all the statistical info on this page), the house has 50,000 square feet of floor space, 25 bathrooms, a dome-covered library, heated driveways, and an underwater music system for the pool. Its assessed tax value is $147 million – for a house!

Lesson 89: Be content, but never satisfiedDoes this make Gates a bad

guy? Not at all – he has a per-fect right to spend his money as he sees fit. The point is that Buffet is happy with the life of a regular man. He shuns the trappings of wealth. Here’s a guy who can afford to live anywhere in the world, yet he’s content to stay in a home that is worth less than Bill Gates’ annual property tax bill.

Warren Buffet is driven by the next challenge, whatever it may be – but he’s also happy with who he is. He has achieved greatness without letting it go to his head. He is content, but never satisfied. May that be said of all of us.

Time is here to seed your lawnThe Labor Day holiday is the

date used to promote the seeding of lawns in the Piedmont area of both North and South Carolina. The typical grass planted is either Tall Fescue or Bluegrass and some-times they are mixed together. Tall Fescue is the predominant turfgrass planted in lawns and pastures in Polk County.

Most grasses need a minimum of five hours of full sun each day. All turfgrasses except centipede prefer a soil that has a pH level around 6.5. In order to obtain that soil pH, most homeowners in the Polk County area have to add some lime to their lawn to increase the pH level in our naturally acid soils.

As you all are well aware, our native soils are composed of heavy, tight red clay. Therefore sowing grass seed on top of the ground with no soil preparation is generally unsuccessful. Some light tilling,

aeration or vigorous raking with a garden rake is critical to the success of your lawn. One can see after a summer like this year that no soil prep is equal to dead grass in early August.

When seeding bare soil use six pounds of Tall Fescue seed for ev-ery 1,000 square feet. Overseeding an existing lawn takes around three pounds of seed for every 1,000 square feet. If you determine you prefer a finer textured cool season lawn then you can use 5 pounds of Tall Fescue, 1 pound of Bluegrass seed and 1 pound of Fine Fescue.

If you are planting grass in an area that is completely bare, be certain to mulch the bare soil with wheat straw. The amount of straw needed is approximately one bale per 1,000 square feet. Always use weed free straw and when mulching leave about 50 percent of the soil surface uncovered. Too much straw

can shade the new grass seedlings too much.

Keep in mind that watering is critical the first 10 to 14 days unless we have rainfall. Short waterings daily during those two weeks helps keep the top inch of the soil from drying out.

Knowing what your soil pH is naturally depends on you. Soil test boxes and forms are located in the County Extension Center in Colum-bus. Currently the samples are being processed in about five working days. The soil testing program is still free to North Carolina residents. All test results are posted on-line and the soil test results can be explained by the Polk County Extension staff.

For specific information on lawns contact the Polk County Master Gardeners from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday through Friday at 828-894-8218.

Universalist Fellowship meets Sunday, Sept. 12The Thermal Belt Unitarian

Universalist Fellowship will meet on Sunday, Sept. the 12th at the Tryon Youth Center at 10:30 A.M. Come early and enjoy fellowship and refresh-ments.

The Rev. Jean M. Rowe will speak on the topic “What Are We Doing Here?”

One of the main founders of American Unitarianism was

an original thinker named Wil-liam Ellery Channing. He was protesting the conservative Prot-estants of his day, especially the New England Puritans.

They proclaimed that human beings are depraved sinners in the hands of an angry God, and the purpose of human life was to endure suffering so that you could go to heaven.

Not so, said Channing: a hu-

man being is a noble being. A person has a soul which is God’s seed with sacred potential. That potential can be developed and expressed. The soul can grow.

The point of life is to grow our souls -- and we can do it best by coming together to help one another. In fact, that is what churches are for.

For information about the service call 894 5776.
