‘Is all this food free and can anyone come get it?’TBOM seeks support for Feed-A-Kid, food pantry

Recently a group of elementary school children visited and toured Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry (TBOM) to learn about the many programs TBOM offers to the

community. TBOM Client Services Coordinator

Michelle Reedy tells of that visit and how a little girl’s raised hand melted hearts.

“While learning about how Outreach helps families with food, a little girl raised her hand and asked, ‘Is all this food free and

can anyone come to get food?’“I told her yes, it is free to those that need

it. Once again the little girl raised her hand and stated in a small voice, ‘I don’t have any food in my home. My mom buys groceries,

Saluda City Hall repairs advancingBrick almost complete, roof replacement nextby Samantha Hurst

Gary Kitchen of Outlaw Masonry moved along with repairs to the brick-work encasing Saluda City Hall Tues-day, Nov. 15.

“These bricks are more than 100 years old,” Kitchen said. “It’s important

to keep that historical look because not many buildings have done so. Most people just plaster over them when they start to let water in because they don’t realize they can be repaired.”

Kitchen was about three-fourths of the way finished with the side wall of city hall, which is good news for the

city as leaders Nov. 14 approved an almost $10,000 contract with All Weather Roofing and Construction for a new roof for the building.

Saluda Finance Director Ron Cole said the masonry refurbishing must be complete before moving onto the next phase.

“I’ve been 17 years in service [with Saluda] and every govern-ing body has tried to find a way to do this,” Cole said. “We’re glad to be making progress.”

To move things along, the city set aside $10,000 in debt service and another $9,500 in budget appropriations for a total amount of $19,500. The critical work the city hopes to complete – refurbishing or replacing the roof, windows, brick, heating and air, tiles and metal facing on the front of the building – is expected to carry a price tag of about $135,000.

Part of this cost includes a decision to forgo a cheaper vi-nyl material window – $14,000 total – for an $18,000 version.

Cole said if the city did not go this route it would be next to impossible to get historical

preservation grants because the windows would not provide a look similar to the windows seen in historical photos from the early 1900s.

“Then that enhances our ability to go after some of those

historical preservation grants,” Cole said. “The public is very much in favor of keeping the building historically accurate and it will only help us to do so if we can pull in some of that grant money.”

but it isn’t enough to feed us. Can we come here?’

“My answer, of course, was absolutely,” Reedy said.

Reedy said after the tour ended, she spoke with the teacher about the little girl and asked the school to inform the family about the food pantry and the Feed-A-Kid Program at TBOM.

“It is for this reason that Out-reach exists,” said Carol Newton, executive director of TBOM. “It is through programs such as the food pantry and Feed-A-Kid that we live out our mission to pro-vide compassionate assistance to Polk County residents who do not have the resources to provide for their basic life needs.”

F e e d - A -Kid food bags are assembled and distributed by the food pantry and its volunteers on a weekly basis to seven Polk County schools that have identi-fied a nutritionally at-risk child and/or family. The food is in-tended to last throughout the weekend for each at-risk child.

“Volunteers pack 320 food bags and deliver them to the schools each week during the school year,” said Jim Mc-Clintock, food pantry coordina-tor for Outreach.

Care is taken to help protect the identity of the children re-ceiving the food bags. School officials at each school receive the food bags from Outreach and place the bags in the child’s locker during class hours to maintain confidentiality.

The typical Feed-A-Kid bag contains pasta, fruit cups, cereal,

assorted snack items, vegetables and protein such as canned tuna or chicken to help round out the bag nutritionally. Each bag weighs no more than 5-7 pounds in order for the child to carry it in a backpack.

“This school year, 53 percent of Polk County school children receive free or reduced lunch. So, whenever possible, addi-tional food is added to the bag to help prevent

or reduce hunger among all fam-ily members,” said Newton.

Outreach food is donated by the community, purchased at a significantly reduced rate from Manna Food Bank, and at sale prices from area grocery stores.

“Outreach spends approxi-mately $2,500 per month on food. This does not include the cost to operate the facilities, such as elec-tricity, refrigeration or manpower, which are all needed to operate our programs,” Newton said.

To learn more about the Feed-A-Kid Program and other pro-grams at Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, visit online at www.tboutreach.org or contact TBOM at 828-894-2988.

Tryon Methodist honors veterans at special serviceby Samantha Hurst

The hour chimed and shortly thereafter members at Tryon United Methodist witnessed the presentation of flags as a special Veterans Day service opened.

After a prayer and singing of “America the Beautiful,” church leaders guided members through a church service pep-pered with special recognition for all that veteran members of the church sacrificed during

service. “For those people of faith,

their military service was and is a significant part of their lives. It’s an expression of their com-mitment to be good citizens as encouraged by scripture and is a way for some of standing up for the oppressed and those long-ing for freedom,” said. Rev. Phillip Hurst. “Their service and sacrifice implements a bib-lical purpose for governmental

authority by establishing and keeping order, and providing a corrective force against wrong in the world (Romans 13:1-7, 1 Peter 2:13-14).”

Hurst said such a day of recognition is another way for the church to show appreciation and support for those who have safeguarded the well-being of the nation.

Church member Nancy Hi-ley said there was a unique energy to the service.

“Seeing some of our veterans wearing their decorations (med-als) and even their uniforms,” Hiley said, was inspiring. “The impact of their quiet dignity and looking through the ‘Honor and Remember’ book, I felt the years disappear as I learned more about our members and their relatives.”

This included COL. Carroll Strider, who came to church in his full green service uniform.

Member Pam Monterisi said veterans like Strider remind Christians of the true meaning behind patriotism.

“They had a willingness to die for country because they know of Jesus’ willingness to die for our sins,” Monterisi said. “As Christians we are called to have a similar commitment to service as soldiers are commit-ted to service.”

Monterisi said in previous years such a focus on Veterans Day had not been part of wor-ship, but this year veteranmem-bers like John Albree asked that the church take up honoring war heroes but do it in such a way as to not overshadow regular services.

By commemorating the church’s “Honor and Remem-ber” book, Albree said it will not only honor the past but be a living document as new mem-bers add their stories of service.

Mink to give sustainable agriculture workshop Nov. 17

Mountain BizWorks on Thursday, Nov.17 from 6-8 p.m. will host Lee Mink’s free Sus-tainable Agricultural Workshop at the Mill Spring Ag Center.

The presentation will include real-life examples of challenges faced by the agricultural com-munity, what to grow and how to grow it, marketing your busi-ness, as well as an opportunity for questions.

Mink started farming in Ala-bama as a home gardener in the 80s, with the aim of providing healthy food for his family. Less-than-ideal soil forced him to learn how to manage soil in the best way… through experi-ence. He is a great proponent of using cover crops, green manure and compost to improve soil health.

As Mink learned more about big agribusiness and its detri-ments to the health of land and humans, he became an activ-ist in the sustainable farming movement.

Today, Mink owns Leap Farm in Polk County. This bio-diverse, GMO-free, sustainable farm specializes in organic methods. Mink chooses to sell his produce within 25 miles of the farm. He insists that at its es-sence, sustainable farming is all about local service – local farms providing food to local residents and restaurants. Mink is also an expert in marketing and value added products. He sells both wholesale and retail and knows there is a home for everything he plants when he plants it.

Mink is enthusiastic about educating and sharing his agri-cultural experience with people, especially young people. Ad-ditionally, this avid seed saver will create a passion in anyone that has an ear to hear about the awareness concerning the relationships among soil, plants, seeds, weather, the cycles of the year, and our roles as stewards that preserve this knowledge for

future generations. Mountain BizWorks (moun-

tainbizworks.org) is a non-profit community development financial institution that provides lending, consulting, and training to small businesses in Western N.C. Its Community Agriculture Business Alliance (CABA) aims to build a more vibrant local economy in the region through agriculture.

Bring a dish and enjoy the peer group environment and networking session.

Ways to give this season Our reporter Leah Justice stopped by the Columbus Relay

Center this week to find volunteers packing shoeboxes filled with toys and essentials items and loading them on a truck to send to children in need for the holidays.

Operation Christmas Child is just one of numerous ways to give of your time and yes, a little bit of money, to those around the world and here at home who have far less than the rest of us.

Keep your eyes on the Bulletin and our website for more updates on ways you can pour out your community spirit this holiday season. On this very page, Sheriff Donald Hill reminds us of the Toy Run around the corner and then our front page tells us about the Feed-a-Kid program. These are just a few examples in this very giving community.

Letters to the Editor

New subdivision ordinanceup for approval

To the Editor:On Monday, Nov. 21, the Polk

County Board of Commissioners will consider a new subdivision ordinance. There will be a public hearing at 5 p.m. so that citi-zens can express their support (or not) for the new ordinance. I strongly support it.

This is not a zoning ordinance. Unfortunately, some who oppose the ordinance are falsely calling it a zoning ordinance to stir up fear and opposition.

The ordinance is a subdivision ordinance; it governs how land can be divided into smaller tracts. It does not regulate how land can be used (for instance, can you have a business on it; or can you build a factory on it). That is what a zoning ordinance does.

Polk County has had a subdivi-sion ordinance since at least 1973. A subdivision ordinance has ap-plied to land in all six townships of Polk County for at least 38 years.

The significant changes made by this subdivision ordinance apply to major subdivisions only, those with nine or more lots. That change does not apply to two-for-one subdivisions (dividing one property into two pieces), family subdivisions or minor subdivisions (eight or fewer lots).

One significant change amounts to this: instead of using lot size, the proposed subdivision ordinance uses density. This will allow clus-tering of dwellings that will reduce developer expense and, at the same time, enhance greenspace or open space. The difference is, with a lot size system, each lot must be a minimum of the stated lot size in the area, for example five acres.

With a density system, you would still have no more than 20 housing units in a 100-acre subdivision, but the housing units could be clustered together in a smaller area, for instance within 20 acres, leaving 80 acres of natural, open space. There’s no requirement that housing units be clustered in the

new subdivision or-dinance, but it makes it more feasible than the current ordinance does, allowing more flexibility.

The planning board will decide the maximum density of dwellings in a major subdivision based on guidelines in the proposed subdivi-sion ordinance.

Among other things, these guidelines are designed to as-sure not only that there will be an adequate groundwater supply for those major subdivisions not using municipal water supplies, but also that the wells supplying the subdivision will not deplete groundwater supplies in neighbor-ing areas.

These guidelines will also take into account other adverse impacts the proposed major subdivision will have on neighboring areas. If those impacts are too severe, the planning board can reject the proposed subdivision. In other cases, it can require the developer to mitigate those impacts.

Importantly, the planning board will apply these guidelines in open, public meetings. Neighboring landowners and other interested citizens will be able to participate in the open meetings, offering their objections to, or suggestions for changes in, the proposed major subdivision and its design. That’s a significant step forward in giv-ing residents a meaningful say concerning what developers of

Toy Run T-shirts for sale

To the Editor: The holiday season is upon us

once again, and the Polk County Sheriff’s Office has been busy for several weeks planning the annual Polk County Toy Run on Saturday ,Nov. 26.

This annual event brings a large number of riders together as they parade through Saluda, Tryon, Lan-drum, Green Creek, Mill Spring and end up in Columbus dropping off their toys on the steps of the historic courthouse.

However, their participation is just one part of ensuring all Polk County children have a rea-son to smile this holiday season. Your assistance is needed as well.

We are selling Polk County Toy Run T-shirts at the sheriff’s office ( in orange or white).

Monetary dona-tions also help tre-mendously with our

efforts, and can be dropped off at the PCSO. Of course, we always welcome new toy donations as well. Feel free to drop those off at the sheriff’s office at your conve-nience as well.

Bill Edney was a fine man, friend

To the Editor I first met Bill Edney more

than 20 years ago. H e w a s t h e

e l e c t r i c i a n w h o performed miracles as he updated the electric service in the older home we’d just acquired. And he continued to correct problems through the intervening years as they popped up form time to time.

His loyal and capable sidekick (assistant) was his son, Joe. Bill also did a great deal of fine work for the Tryon Presbyterian Church long before I came on the scene.

Gentlemen like Bill Edney are a rare breed indeed; few and far between. Beyond being

a thorough ly p ro fess iona l tradesman, he was simply a wonderful human being whose company I enjoyed so much over the years.

He was just a great person to talk with and we shared many

precious moments t o g e t h e r o n t h e steps of the Tryon Post Office when we chanced to meet there

from time to time.I didn’t know that Bill was ill

until I read it in the newspaper and I’m truly sorry that I wasn’t able to pay my respects to him while he was in Hospice House, but I am pleased that he received the high level of compassionate care that Hospice always provides; that was a blessing.

May God bless Bill Edney and his family.

–Bill Wuehrmann, Tryon


major subdivisions can do to their neighborhood.

This is a win-win result. Developers of major subdivi-

sions are freed from the arbitrary seven-acre lot size restriction in our current subdivision ordinance and granted greater flexibility in laying out the subdivision’s arrangement, particularly in terms of clustering.

The interests of neighboring landowners will now be taken into account, particularly in terms of adverse impacts on groundwater supplies and other environmental concerns. They will become par-ticipants in the subdivision review process.

The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Committee and the planning board, both of which unanimously approved the proposed subdivision ordinance, should be commended for their efforts in producing an innovative and balanced approach to major subdivision development in Polk County.

This subdivision ordinance is first part of the culmination of the more than 10 years of work by many Polk County citizens, and

the product of many hundreds of citizens’ responses to question-naires and comments in public meetings. It is what the vast ma-jority of Polk County citizens have said they want.

Please plan to attend the pub-lic hearing at 5 p.m. on Nov. 21, in the commissioners meeting room in the Womack Building in Columbus. Please arrive early so you can sign up to speak in favor of this subdivision ordinance. Comments need not be lengthy. In fact, they can be no longer than three minutes. But your support is very important, especially because opponents of the ordinance are spreading falsehoods about it to frighten citizens so that they will fight against it.

If you have any questions or want further information, please call Renee McDermott at 859-6131. You can find the text of the proposed subdivision ordinance on the county’s website (www.polk-county.org). Go to Departments, then Planning and Zoning, then Ordinances, then Unified Develop-ment Ordinance draft (UDO). The subdivision ordinance draft starts on page 53 of the UDO draft.

Audra Lea Riddle and Jérôme Joseph René Bettinelli were mar-ried on Saturday, Oct. 22, 2011.

The outdoor ceremony was held at the bride’s home in Gram-ling, S.C.

The bride wore an ivory cou-ture Organza and Swiss lace bridal gown that featured a sweet-heart neck line, hand-beaded re-embroidered lace appliqué with covered buttons down the back, accented with form fitted crystal trim and a tiffany train paired with a beaded embroidery and tulle finger-tip veil. Stephen Barnes, childhood friend of the bride, of-ficiated the double-ring ceremony.

Escorted by her father, the bride is the daughter of Cindy Broom Riddle of Gramling, S.C. and John Riddle of Hartsville, S.C. She is the granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hase Broom of Six Mile, S.C. and Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Riddle, of Taylors, S.C. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Armand Bettinelli of Cou-blevie, France. He is the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. René Maréchal and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Bet-tinelli, both of Mouthe, France.

Laura Jane Riddle of Gram-

ling, sister of the bride, served as maid of honor. Also attending the bride were Melissa Somers of Chicago, Ill. and Sarah Probst of Charleston, S.C.

Florian Bettinelli of Uberland-ia, Brazil, brother of the groom, served as best man. Groomsmen were Francois-Xavier Jammes of Aurillac, France and Mathieu Duroselle, of Lille, France. At-tendants were Mackenzie and Ryan Capstick, of Jefferson, M.D. and Jacob and Jarod Broom of Six Mile, S.C., cousins of the bride. The ceremony featured remarks by siblings of the couple and the reading of, I carry your heart with me, by e e cummings. Soloist Robin Gramling was ac-companied on the classical guitar by Henry Anderson.

Following the ceremony, the bride’s mother hosted an outdoor tea reception at their Gramling home. The bridal couple then hosted an evening reception at Zenzera’s in Landrum. The parents of the groom, Patricia and Armand Bettinelli, hosted a rehearsal dinner at The Lake Lanier Tea House. Following the rehearsal dinner, family and

friends of the groom including Romain Dumel of Bale, Swit-zerland, Jérôme Freyburger of Toulouse, France, Nathalie Che-nal of Saint-Etienne-de-Crossey, France, Yves and Danielle Kien of Aix-en-Provence, France, Armelle, Anne and Pierre Bet-tinelli of Colombes, France, and Cathy, Didier and Guillaume Veyry of Privas, France enter-tained the wedding party at the Red Horse Inn. Friends of the couple also hosted cocktails at

The Yellow House in Landrum. A bridal luncheon was held by Mrs. Anne Carroll of Carrolton, in Gramling, S.C.

The bride is a 2009 graduate of Wofford College and is a stu-dent at the University of South Carolina School of Medicine. The groom is a graduate of Ecole Spéciale des Travaux Publics, Paris, France and University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Australia and lately a project manager at Reponse S.A. in Paris, France.

Letter to the EditorPower of prayer brings pastor back

To the Editor: On Saturday, Oct. 22, we got an

early morning call. Our pastor at Grassy Knob Fellowshipo Church had had a massive heart attack. We had a lot of phone calls to make to request prayers, and then we took off for Memorial Mission Hospital.

Seeing our pastor as we did was so very frightening. We thought the Lord was calling him home, and he is worthy of that call. We thought we would be without our pastor.

After praying over him in intensive care, we headed home. We had more phone calls to make making sure everyone knew the importance of continuing to pray.

“Our pastor is in critical con-dition. With God, all things are possible,” we said.

On Sunday, Oct. 23, as we all gathered at our sweet little church, we prayed; holding hands, we prayed. We sang and lot of testimo-

ny was given about how our pastor has helped us and many others. We all prayed again and again. As we were praying, our pastor was taken off the respirator, breathing on his own – and we prayed.

On Monday, Oct. 24, the doc-tor began talking about moving our pastor to a regular room – and we prayed.

On Tuesday, Oct. 24, our pastor was moved out of intensive care to a regular room – and we prayed.

On Wednesday, Oct. 26, we, the church, gathered at our place of worship for a praise God and worship service, and our pastor waslked in, straight out of the hos-pital, and joined us in that praise and worship service. The Lord led us – and we prayed.

October was pastor apprecia-tion month. Jerry Jackson, we love you and appreciate how you teach us and all you do for us and the true love you show for us.

We thank the Lord for giving you back to us.

–– Julie Fike, Grassy Knob Fellowship Church

West leads the Queen of Spades against 3 NT. As al-ways, before good declarers play to the first trick they develop a plan. The first thing they do is count winners. As you can see, declarer has two sure winners in each suit, for a total of 8. In addition, he has the potential to take one or two more tricks in the Diamond suit, depending on the distribu-tion and location of key cards.

Looking at all four hands it should be obvious on how to play the Diamond suit. Since you only need one more Diamond trick to make your contract you should be looking at playing your existing suit situation to make three tricks.

Would you believe that with-out looking at the defenders hands it’s possible to play the suit to guarantee at least three Diamond tricks against any dis-tribution?

Proper technique dictates that declarer first cashes the Ace in his hand. If either defender shows out, the play of the suit becomes an open book. Assuming both defenders follow suit, declarer leads a small Diamond toward dummy. If West follows suit, dummy simply covers whatever card West plays. This guarantees three Diamond tricks. If East were to win this trick, it would mean that the suit broke 3-2 and you are guaranteed three Diamond tricks. If East shows

out, as is the case in this hand, declarer either has his third trick if he wins with the 9 or if he is forced to with the King and he just continues playing the suit to set up his last Diamond. If West had showed out on the second

round, declarer would win with King and lead from the board toward his hand to establish his Jack. Thus, nothing can prevent declarer from getting his ninth trick if he plays the suit correctly.

Firefighter with local ties honored in memorial servicePeter James Coe, husband of

Valerie Ann Ortiz-Coe, whose father is Tryon resident Frank Ortiz, was one of the fallen firefighters honored in the 30th Annual National Fallen Fire-fighters memorial service on Oct. 16. The service was held at the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Md.

Coe, a volunteer firefighter and safety officer with the Shoreham, Vt., Fire Depart-ment, lost his life in the line of duty. He was assisting a disabled motorist on an icy road on Dec. 27, 2009. Coe’s professionalism and kindness while responding to calls was noted in the tribute, as were his work ethic, kind heart and bravery. Fellow firefighters from Shoreham traveled to Maryland to join the ranks of the honor guard.

Those present at the ceremo-ny included Coe’s wife, Valerie; his daughter, Gennie, a senior at Mount Holyoke College; his son, Nick, an eighth-grader; Val’s father, Frank Ortiz, along with Ortiz’s wife, Audrey, and his son and daughter-in-law, John and Christine.

At the conclusion of the

Coe accepted the flag in remem-brance of his father.

GreenGait Farm is one of four farms and barns included on this year’s FENCE Holiday Barn Tour.

The original barn, built in 1992, consisted of the current center of the barn with three stalls and a tack feed room and indoor wash rack. Some years later, the 1,400-square-foot apartment and hayloft were added as a second story and two wings with an additional five stalls and outdoor was rack. A utility barn with 9th outdoor stall was also added and most recently, a composting facility.

GreenGait Farm is involved in the breeding, training and showing of Paso Finos. Owners Bill and Judith Kerns currently have 15 Paso Finos, including one weanling and one stallion. With the recent addition of a covered round pen and the existing arena, they have also begun hosting horsemanship clinics beginning with a Dave

Seay Progressive Horsemanship clinic last month.

The farm encompasses ap-proximately 32 acres and is located along the Pacolet River at the end of a very private little road, Dark Horse Lane. The FETA Trail passes alongside of the farm and the Kerns said they enjoy seeing other riders pass by.

The annual FENCE Holiday Barn Tour will be held Saturday, Nov. 26 with exhibitions from 11 a.m. – 1 p.m. at FENCE’s covered arena. These exhibitions will include Driven Horses, led by Kathy Parker Brown and Liz Mossina; Dressage, led by Holly

Hansen; Jumper, led by Lincoln Russell; Drill Team, led by local riders; Mounted Patrol by Polk County officers; and Driven Mini Ponies by Connie Brown. Foothills Barbecue will also be on hand to sell lunches.

The annual Tour of Barns will run from 1 – 4 p.m. and will include Green Gait Farm, as well as McNutt Barn, Freehold Farm and Bright’s Creek Equestrian Center. Dinner will be available for purchase at Bright’s Creek Golf Club.

This event is presented by Carolina Storage Solutions, LakesHillsAndHorses.com and Jonathan Rowe Grading.

Advanced tickets are avail-able at Little Mountain Farm Supply, The Farm House and the Hay Rack. Tickets will also be available at each barn the day of event. For more information, visit www.fence.org or call 828-859-9021.
