Columbus keeps tax rate same, raises water/sewer rates 5%by Leah Justice

Columbus council took a red pen to its proposed budget last week, making cuts to keep the property tax rate the same and re-duce the proposed water and sewer rate increase from 20 percent to 5 percent.

Council approved the town's budget for fiscal year 2010-11 last Thursday. The town approved the general fund and water/sewer fund budgets separately. The general fund was approved unanimously and the water/sewer fund was ap-

proved by a 3-1 vote, with council-man Michael Gage opposing.

Gage said last week that Co-lumbus should have increased rates by 10 percent to give the town more of a cushion.

The town had also previously considered a two-cent property tax increase, but made cuts to keep the rate at the current 39 cents per $100 of property value, which includes an increase of ap-proximately $8,000 for the town's

fire department after the county approved a 7/10 cent increase because of redistricting.

Columbus’ cuts will come at a cost to some employees in the public works department. The town decided to cut five hours per week for seven pub-lic works employees. Other savings came from cutting $40,000 previously placed in the contingency fund for the water and sewer department and another $10,000 proposed for professional services for a development agreement with Foster Creek. The town kept $5,000 in professional services for Foster Creek in its general fund.

The town has met several times this month to discuss the budget proposal. Other cuts considered last week but not ap-proved included eliminating a public works position and either cutting half of the town's health insurance contributions for all employees or making lower contributions to employees' 401K plans.

The town was considering

larger increases in water and sewer rates to avoid the neces-sity of continuing to use money from the fund balance to cover losses in the department.

The town received a N.C. Local Government Commis-sion letter last year criticizing the use of about $34,000 from the fund balance to supplement the town's enterprise fund last year. The town is expecting another letter this year because it expects to use more than $70,000 from the fund balance to supplement its enterprise fund this year.

The town’s general fund bud-get for next year is $912,813. Its water/sewer fund was shaved last week from the pre-viously proposed $1,136,900 to $1.046,024. The town kept $4,820 in contingency for the water and sewer fund and should have about $25,000 for contingency in its general fund.

No employee increases, bonuses, major equipment or major projects were budgeted for next year.

The new fiscal year will begin this Thursday.

Campobello man shot and killed during fightby Leah Justice

The fatal shooting of a Cam-pobello man last week occurred during a fight, according an in-cident report released last week by the Spartanburg County, S.C. Sheriff’s Office.

Charles William Crissone, 31, of 1045 Mount Lebanon Road, Campobello, died Tues-day after being shot in the stomach outside a residence at 105 Old Highway 357 in Campobello, according to the report.

The report states that wit-nesses at the scene told deputies that Crissone drove by the resi-dence and yelled an obscenity at Cody Lawrence Lockhart,

22, of Landrum. Lockhart is the boyfriend of Jennifer Leigh Dillard, 31, of Campobello. Dil-lard is the mother of Crissone’s eight-month-old child.

Witnesses told officers that Crissone got out of his truck and grabbed Lockhart by the neck and the two men began to fight.

After Crissone continued to hit Lockhart, Lockhart shot Crissone once with a .38 caliber pistol that he carries with him, according to witnesses. Dillard then called 911, the incident report states.

The investigation remains ongoing and no charges have been issued.

When it's only 80 degrees outside, a car can heat up to over 120 degrees in just minutes. In a temperature that

high, a dog could easily die. That's why the American Kennel Club recommends that dog owners NEVER leave their dog alone in a car during the warm weather.

2,500-hour volunteer now leads 200 in hospital corpsHay Rack joins Southern States

Gayle Cook has accepted the position of volunteer coordinator, overseeing 200 active volunteers at St. Luke’s Hospital, replacing Connie Kuykendall, who has moved into a new position in hu-man resources created to improve the coordination of benefits for hospital staff.

Cook has been a volunteer for more than two years and cur-rently serves as the membership chair of the St. Luke's Auxiliary and as Thursday day chair at the Thrift Shop. In a short time as volunteer, Cook has worked more than 2,500 hours and has con-tributed greatly by creating an Excel spreadsheet for tracking volunteer hours.

This is a part-time position, approximately 20 hours per week, and Cook plans to adjust the days worked each week based on various activities and needs of the department. Her schedule will be posted each week in the volunteer workroom. The phone number for the volunteer depart-ment will remain the same at 828-894-0895.

“I’m thrilled to have this op-portunity at St. Luke’s and in my community. I look forward to representing such dedicated volunteers and to continue the (Continued on page 8)

positive growth Connie brought to our group,” Cook said.

“The transition has been seamless,” says Jean Shumway, auxiliary president. “Connie has been a wonderful volunteer co-ordinator and will definitely be missed. We welcome the change and are happy to have Gayle on board.”

Kuykendall, who held the volunteer coordinator position for four years, will now have the opportunity to utilize her skills and training in human resources while addressing a need identified

in the recent St. Luke’s employee satisfaction sur-vey. Kuykendall will take on the challenge of co-

ordinating employee benefits and will continue in the role of Work-man’s Compensation coordinator, EEOC and safety committee secretary. She also continues to oversee new employee orientation and annual-in-service education requirements.

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

course and stadium jump-

ing. They ended up high

The Conservation Diet

(ConTinueD on page 11)

Hyders still in peach business in Gowensville after more than 70 yearsby Paul Zimmerman

Anyone who has ever pur-chased peaches from a grocery store might be forgiven if they think, to paraphrase Gertrude Stein, that a peach, is a peach, is a peach. Yet, walk into the Certi-fied Roadside Market owned by the Hyder Family called, appro-priately, “Peach Country,” and you’ll learn the opposite is true.

Sun Brite, Cary-Mac, Flaming Fury, O-Henry, Georgia Belle and my absolute favorite peach, Fire Prince, are just a few of the tantalizing names that make up the 32 different varieties of peaches the Hyder family grow along Hwy 11 just outside Go-wensville.

Their 200 acres frames the corridor between Gownesville and Campobello. Twenty acres are devoted to peach orchards which display shell pink blos-soms during spring, sun drenched peaches in summer and leaves of flame in fall.

You may even see Nathan, on his dually John Deere Trac-tor, working other parts of the land he leases from the Hyders to grow food for his dairy herd. Even after ten years it is still to me a stunning vista of nature not to be taken for granted.

W a y n e Hyder’s great g r a n d f a t h e r came here from R u t h e r f o r d County around 1909 and began purchasing land to farm cotton. It was his grandson, T. A. Hyder, who planted the first family peach orchard on Hwy 11 in 1939.

At the time T.A. was look-ing for something to grow other than cotton and peaches did very well in this area. Selling his peaches via Farmer’s Markets in Asheville, Knoxville and other areas allowed T.A. to expand his orchards and in 1955 a packing house was added.

In the nineties as small lo-cal peach farmers began to face

increasing competition from the mega-farms of California, the tra-ditional markets for their peaches began to disappear. They were simply not able to compete with the prices these factory farms offered.

In 1994, the Hyders closed the packing house and suddenly faced an uncertain future with their peach orchards – and their land.

By this time Wayne and taken over the business. One thing he and his wife, Linda, did know

was they did not want to turn over their land to devel-opers.

“I couldn’t s tand the thought of all those houses along that pretty stretch of road” remarks Wayne. “There had to be a way to continue with peaches.”

With the increasing tourist traffic, the Hyder family decided to go back to what Wayne’s Fa-ther T.A. had done, which was to sell their peaches directly to the consumer.

Instead of going to farmer’s markets they would build a stand and sell freshly picked peaches directly from their orchards.

And so on the corner of Hwy 11 and New Cut Road Peach Country was born.

“One of the things we dis-covered by selling peaches picked that morning was we could grow lots of different kinds of peaches,” Wayne points out. “Peaches that are packed and shipped need to be able to travel. Many kinds don’t travel well so people don’t grow them. Besides wanting to try them my-self I figured folks would love to taste peaches they’d never heard of.”

To advertise, Wayne and Linda publish a “ripening list” of their varieties. It’s simply a list of the different varieties they grow with the dates they expect them to ripen and be ready.

“For Pam and I, that list is the start of summer,” Wayne says. “When it comes out, I go down, get one, and pin it to our refrigerator. As we eat as many varieties as we can, we check them off the list. Our goal has always been to eat one of each variety in a season but so far we’ve never made it. But not for lack of trying!”

monDay, June 28, 2010 Tryon Daily BulleTin / The WorlD’s smallesT Daily neWspaper page 11

• Hyders(ConTinueD from page 10)

Ask Wayne Hyder the simple question, “Why do you keep go-ing when you could cash out and sell the land?” and you get an equally simple yet more eloquent response. “Because I love farm-ing peaches”.

That love for what he does and his unwavering commit-ment to the land above financial gain should be reason enough for anyone reading this article to drive down to Peach Country, visit the Hyders and sample a just picked peach.

You’ll understand what I mean when I say it’s like taking a bite of Carolina Sunshine.

You want another reason? Circle June 30 on your calendar. The list pinned to our refrigerator

says that’s when the Fire Princes will be ripening.

By the way, I’ll be the one with the juice of one dripping off my chin.

Columnist Paul Zimmerman loves to cook, enjoys good wine and readily admits to having a self interest in sourcing local area foods. Zimmerman says our local farmers are among our best conservationists. By purchasing some of your everyday groceries from them you help conserve the land, their lifestyle and our rural community. He plants to periodically feature some of our local farmers who sell directly to the consumer from their farms or at Farmer’s Markets. He encourages you to support them and start to regularly use some of the freshest foods you will ever find.

Creepy crawlies visit Polk libraries

Snakes, toads, turtles and even alligators paid a visit to both Polk County Libraries in Columbus and Saluda this week.

The visit was part of the li-braries’ summer reading promo-tion, “Make a Splash @ Your Library.”

Martha Fiske from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sci-ence traveled to the mountains with her cadre of critters to teach kids about species native to North Carolina and their important place in our environment. Chil-dren were allowed to touch each of the live animals.

The next summer reading pro-gram, “Pirates of the Carolinas,” will be held Tuesday, June 29 at 10:30 a.m. in Columbus and Wednesday, June 30 at 10:30 a.m. in Saluda.


Wishgrove publishes first CD

Tryon resident Rich Nelson’s rock band Wishgrove has published its first CD, “I Lost My Head.”

“We are really pleased with the music we’ve written and recorded so far,” Nelson said. “‘I Lost My Head’ is somewhat of a narrative which chronicles a young person as they wake to life and make their way into the world, finding joy and heartbreak.”

Nelson said the music has all been arranged to be played live and the band will play at Rogers Park on July 30 and at the Tryon Fine Arts Center on September 18.

The drummer in the band is Ken Williams, a real estate agent in Lake Lure, and the bass player, Mark McCullough, manages a company called Foliage Concept.The band practices in Williams’ large garage on 40 acres up Bill’s Creek way. They recorded re-motely there, and in Inman, with John Petty of JP Studios.

For more information about the CD and where to purchase it, visit www.wishgrove.com.

The Bird Box

by Simon Thompson

Just up the road a little from Tryon is another great little birding place that is well worth visiting. This is Fletcher Com-munity Park, situated just off Howard Gap Road in “down-town” Fletcher. From the road it does not look that special, just an area of grass, ball-fields and newly planted trees, but don’t let that put you off. Just read this list of birds that have been seen in the park over the last year: Philadelphia Vireo, Baltimore Oriole, Northern Waterthrush, Yellow-billed Cuckoo, American Pipit. Again, the list is endless.

Once you have parked your car in the center of the park, there are several choices you can make of where to go. The park i s b o r d e r e d by two rivers, w h i c h h a v e heavily vege-tated banks. This dense border of trees and shrubs is very at-tractive to birds and should be walked quite slowly. There is a small marshy pond at the back of the park, that initially looks pretty birdless, but Blue-winged Teal, Lesser Yellowlegs and

Solitary Sandpiper have all been recorded here. Behind the pond is another thick hedgerow of dense vegetation with agricul-tural fields behind it, but best of all is an overgrown field with a heavy thicket of alders and other wet habitat vegetation. Access to the latter is difficult, but by slowly walking the perimeter, you should be able to hear and see several species. A good two hours in the park during spring or fall migration could easily produce a list in excess of 40 birds, not a bad count for this area of the mountains.

The local Henderson County Bird Club regularly holds morn-ing walks in Fletcher Park

throughout the spring and fall migration sea-sons. Highlights this spring have been Orchard O r i o l e s a n d Eastern King-

birds nesting in the small marsh, Barn, Tree and Northern Rough-winged Swallows feeding over the newly mowed fields and a pretty good passage of Black-poll Warblers working the trees along the river.

Not a great deal of birding

Fletcher Community park:an undiscovered jewel?

BroWn Thrasher (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

has been done in the relatively new park, but a few folks are covering it on a regular ba-sis. Assuming that there is no scorched earth policy here with the vegetation, the future looks good for this place as a top Hen-derson County birding spot. You never know, perhaps we may even rival Jackson Park as once of the best places to bird watch in the area.

Simon Thompson has lived in WNC for the past 16 years. He owns and operates his own birding tour company, Ven-tures Birding Tours. WWW.bird ventures.com.

If you have birding questions, please drop Simon an e-mail at the above site.

Canning and preserving workshop offered at Polk Extension Center July 13

Preserving food cannot be considered new and trendy, but the recent revival fits the modern renaissance of handcrafted food, heirloom agriculture, and using foods in its season. Like baking bread or making a slow-cooked tomato sauce, preserving offers primal satisfactions and practical results.

“There’s an incredible surge of interest recently,” said Jimmi Buell, family and consumer sci-ence agent with the Polk County Center of N.C. Cooperative Ex-tension Services. “People want to take back their food and their skills from the industrial giants.

In a time of high food prices, job losses and food safety scares, home canning is booming.

“Stacks of locally grown, peak-ripe produce are about to appear at farmers markets, roadside stand and backyards all over the county. This is the window of opportunity to preserve all of nature’s bounty. The thoughts of home canning whether you are a pro or a novice, can be overwhelming, said Buell, “but with the help of the Extension Office, we can make the process manageable.”

The Extension Office is of-fering a Canning and Preserving Made Easy series of two work-

shops. The first in the series of workshops is “Canning Made Easy” and will be held at the Polk County Extension Center on July 13 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. Both class-es cover the same materials. The cost for the workshop includes the “Ball Blue Book.”

The second workshop, “Jam, Jellies, and Pickles,” will be on July 15, also at the Extension Center. Both workshops will be informative two hour classes.

Call the Polk County Center of N.C. Cooperative Extension Ser-vice at 828-894-8218 to reserve your space for these workshops.

Judy King won two Best in Category ribbons. Mildred Stickney, Lloyd Bradley and Wynona Joye each won a Best in Category ribbon.

Every piece entered was judged to be of excellent or very good quality. Winners of blue and red ribbons were: Ida Ford,

Judy King, Lloyd Bradley, Ad-die Hines, Mildred Stickney, Faye Williams, Faye Lynch, Judy Blackwell, Wynona Joye, Judy Ellam and Anna Winn.

Pam Doty, director of The Meeting Place, said, “We are very proud of these winners. Every year since 2003, our ceramics class has taken major awards at this show. Under Carolyn Brad-ley’s tutelage and encourage-ment, they have produced some very fine pieces. They never cease to amaze me!”
