Businessweek names Tryon ‘Best Place To Raise Your Kids in North Carolina’

Bloomberg Businessweek Thursday, Nov. 17 named Tryon as the “Best Place To Raise Your Kids in North Carolina.”

“A cute resort town in the midst of the Blue Ridge Moun-tains, Tryon has much more bang for the buck than you’d expect

from a population of 1,716,” said the Businessweek article.

Each year the news maga-zine analyzes a variety of data, including family income, test scores and cultural opportunities, to determine the best places for kids to grow up in each state in

the country.Mayor Alan Peoples said for

more than a decade now he has said that Tryon has everything parents need to raise kids.

looking at areas with the best schools when we found your area,’” Miller said. “People now with a lot of modern jobs can live where they want to live. I think our area is very attractive to people with all it has to offer – it has the com-plexities of a big city with the charm of a small town.”

Miller said local residents, whether they have kids or not, who are willing to support local students makes that all possible.

“I just could not be more proud when I see what our teachers and staff are doing to serve our students and families. Our employees are really about trying to place young people first.”

Businessweek also noted area hiking, parks and the an-nual Children’s Theater Festi-

val as part of the decision.Marianne Carruth, market-

ing and arts in education di-rector for the Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC), coordinates the Children’s Theater Festival, known as Super Saturday, each year. She said the 34-year event is special to the community for so many reasons.

“It attracts several genera-tions of people who bring their kids and their grandkids to it,” Carruth said. “I think it reflects back on the people in this com-munity that they value the arts and value their families.”

In fact, TFAC keeps the tickets for each performance at $2 so more people can see their kids on stage and so more kids experience performing arts, Carruth said.

• Meth bust(Continued from page 1)

Bradley Kyle Benton, of 112 3rd Avenue, Conestee, S.C., was arrested and charged with one count of felony manufacturing of a schedule II controlled substance, according to sheriff’s records.

Also arrested was Megan Brooke Wright, of 9 Roy Court, Piedmont, S.C., who was charged with driving a vehicle with no operator’s license, according to the sheriff’s office.

McCurry was sentenced on Nov. 9 in connection with his Sept. 2 arrest on charges of break-ing and/or entering and larceny af-ter break/enter for stealing copper from Grover Industries. Grover is located near 191 Flat Rock Hill Road. McCurry’s six-to-eight-month sentence was suspended for him to serve two terms of 18 months of supervised probation.

Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill said McCurry’s probation/

parole officer went to McCurry’s residence on Thursday, Nov. 17 for a check and became suspi-cious of McCurry’s behavior and observed items that could be drug related. The sheriff’s office was contacted and officers evacuated McCurry’s parents from the home once they discovered the meth lab, Hill said.

Officers secured the scene the night of Nov. 17 and the sheriff’s office and SBI agents with the

meth lab team executed a search warrant at the property on Friday, Nov. 18. The Tryon Fire Depart-ment was also on scene to help with the cleanup.

The meth lab was classified as medium size, investigators said.

This is Polk County’s third meth lab bust this year, after not having one since 2007.

The largest meth lab in Polk County’s history was discovered in Sunny View on Aug. 24 and another meth lab was discovered in Green Creek on Nov. 1.

McCurry is being held at the Polk County jail under a $100,000 bond. Benton is being held under a $50,000 bond and Wright received a $400 bond.

Elaine Rector Conner

Elaine Rector Conner, age 60, of Marion, N.C., passed away Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011 at her residence. Mrs. Conner was born in Rutherford County on March 30, 1951 and was a daughter of the late Leonard E. Rector and Beryl Pearson Rector. She enjoyed reading and working in her garden but most of all enjoyed and loved her family.

Preceding Mrs. Conner in death, in addition to her parents, was a granddaughter, Amanda Bradley.

Left to cherish Mrs. Conner’s memory are three children:

Obituaries Sherry Conner Bradley (Barry), Michael Conner and Angie Con-ner Sisk; longtime companion, Bobby Bright; special friend, Paula Conner Medford; two brothers, Charles and Floyd Rector; two sisters, Tennie Grant and Joan Rector; three grandchildren: Joseph Bradley, Donald Sisk and Devin Sisk.

A funeral service was held Saturday, Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. in Westmoreland Chapel, with Rev. Jerry Campbell officiating. Interment was in Montford Cove Baptist Church Cemetery.

Those desiring to make a me-morial donation in her memory are asked to consider Hospice of Avery County, 351 West Mitch-ell Street, Newland, N.C. 28657. An online register is available under “Obituaries” at www.westmorelandfuneralhome.com.

Columbus considers allowing yard sale signsPublic hearing likely next monthby Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus is considering allowing yard, ga-rage and estate sale signs after a resident came to council last month expressing concerns.

Council met Thursday, Nov. 17 and reviewed a draft ordi-nance created by the planning board.

The town currently prohibits yard sale signs, but after Becky Bell said in October that she had problems notifying people of her yard sales, council decided to allow them. The planning board made a recommendation, using Tryon’s sign ordinance as a guide. Columbus is proposing changes to its sign ordinance that would allow yard/estate sale signs to be displayed 24 hours prior to the sale and re-moved within 24 hours after the sale. Up to three 4-square-foot signs are proposed to be al-lowed, one on-premise sign and two off-premise ones, according

to the draft ordinance.Councilwoman Ernie Kan

expressed concern that 4 square feet was too large.

“If they get big and tacky looking it takes away from our appearance,” said Kan.

She said yard sale signs were not allowed originally because of their appearance while the town was trying to become more tourist-friendly. Other council members said they didn’t have a problem with 4 square feet, saying that could be a sign 2 feet by 2 feet or 3 feet by 1 foot.

Council also discussed en-forcement last week and how to ensure signs are taken down according to the ordinance.

The town could consider giv-ing residents 24 hours to remove the signs if they are not removed in the appropriate timeframe, then charging a $10 fine for not heeding the warning.

The town sent suggestions back to the planning board and will likely schedule a public hearing for council’s Dec. 15 meeting.

Autumn Care rehab’s new equipment has ‘wow’ potential“Wow!” That was Audrey Haynes’s

first word as she stood in the Autumn Care Rehab Depart-ment’s new Arjo Walker.

“This is the first time in over five years I’ve felt my feet on the floor,” she said through tears of joy.

The excitement didn’t stop there, as Asher Zaccagnini, physical therapist, and Amy Shearer, LPTA, helped Haynes take her first steps in years.

“We’ve been doing a lot of work on Audrey’s upper body strength,” Zaccagnini noted. “She has already improved her ability to help turn herself over in bed and assist with other activities of daily living. The new equipment will help her in moving to the next level of recovery.”

According to Matilda Pat-rick, the new equipment puts Saluda in a league of its own.

“The Arjo Walker provides a lot of advantages for both the resident and the therapist,” Patrick said. “With the resident safely secured in the safety sling, we have a wide range of options in getting residents back on their feet much sooner than in the past,” she added.

Best of all, Patrick said, the rehab staff will be able to aid residents with a wide variety of physical limitations caused by such things as dementia and confusional states, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, osteoarthritis, spinal injuries, herniated discs and hip and pelvis fractures.

“That one piece of equip-

ment was worth every penny we paid for it just to see Au-drey standing there,” admin-istrator Glenn Pierce said. “Audrey actually worked at Autumn before her accident, so we have all had a personal investment in her recovery. Seeing those tears of joy and

that first step are why we love being here every day.”

According to Patrick, the Saluda facility is currently in the process of doubling the size of its rehab gym, adding new and innovative equipment.

“This definitely allows us to provide a greatly expanded

level of services to our resi-dents,” Patrick said.

Polk sheriff offers tips for safe shopping during holidays“The holiday season is right

around the corner and shoppers are crowding malls and discount stores to buy the latest gadgets and find the best deals,” said Sheriff Hill.

But what shoppers may be neglecting is their safety, accord-ing to Hill.

“This time of year attracts more shopping-related criminal activity because of the larger crowds and the extended store hours,” Hill said. “These factors and the usual distraction of shop-ping creates a more favorable environment for petty thieves and other offenders.”

The sheriff reminds all Polk County residents to follow these safety tips:Shopping safety:

• A single shopper is the best target for theft. Always shop with a friend or relative.

• When going shopping, tell someone where you are going and

what time to expect you to return. Also, make sure they know what you are wearing, as well as the type of vehicle you are driving.

• Shop during daylight hours. If you shop at night, park your vehicle in a well-lit area.

• Dress casually and comfort-ably and avoid wearing expensive jewelry. If carrying cash, keep it in your front pocket rather than in a purse or wallet. This makes it much more difficult for a pick-pocket to remove. Also store car keys in a pants or jacket pocket. If your purse is stolen, you will still be able to drive home.

• Pay careful attention to your surroundings and avoid overload-ing yourself with packages. It is important to have clear visibility and freedom of motion to avoid mishaps.

• When returning to your ve-hicle, check around it and in the back seat. Be aware of strangers approaching you for any reason. Have your car keys in your hand

to avoid spending unnecessary time unprotected from the security of your vehicle.

• If you feel uneasy return-ing to your vehicle alone, find a security guard and ask him or her to walk you to your car.Credit card fraud

According to Sheriff Hill, “During this time of year, busy holiday shoppers become careless and vulnerable to other crimes as well. Credit card fraud and gift card fraud are on the rise. However, taking a few preventive measures can help.”

• Keep a close watch on your credit card every time you use it, and make sure you get it back as quickly as possible.

• Never write your PIN number on your credit card.

• Never leave your credit cards or receipts lying around.

• Shield your credit card num-ber so that others around you can’t copy it or capture it on a mobile

telephone or other camera.• Carry only credit cards that

you absolutely need.• Shred anything with your

credit card number written on it.• If you’re planning to pur-

chase online, make sure the web page where you enter your credit card information is secure through SSL (Secure Socket Layer). You can tell if the web page is secure by looking for the gold lock or key icon at the bottom corner of your browser window.

• If you’re not comfortable submitting your information through the Internet, call the seller and give them your information over the telephone. Never send your credit card information via email.

• Check the company out. Do business only with companies that provide a physical address and telephone number.

• Keep good records. Always print out a copy of any online products or services you purchase.

NATURE OF CLASS: Healthy Balance Center for Empow-ered Living offers holistic healing arts to support you in your health and well-being, bringing more harmony and balance into your life.

PRINCIPAL OWNER/MANAGER AND TITLE: Beverly Moore, owner and yoga instructor

PERSONAL BACKGROUND: When I experienced the health benefits of deep relaxation and reduced stress in my body by taking yoga classes, my health improved immensely. Yoga became a priority in my daily life. In 2003, I trained and received my yoga teacher certifi-cation from the Asheville Yoga Center. After teaching classes for several years and with the loving support of family and friends, I opened Healthy Balance Yoga in 2006. I teach gentle and mixed level classes and also offer private yoga sessions on request in the studio or at students’ homes. My life has been enriched by what I have learned from my students. I also studied at the Living Food Institute in Atlanta, an educational training center dedicated to the holistic healing of the mind, body and spirit through the preparation of living, whole, organic foods. Nutrition is a very important part of health and wellness, and we incorporate that concept at Healthy Balance Center by offering healthy cooking classes and nutritional workshops.

ONE THING YOU WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT CLASS-ES/WORK AT THE CENTER: Yoga is not just about touching your toes. It is about deepening your con-

nection to self and living a happier, healthier life. We believe that all ages and body types can benefit by practicing yoga with proper, individual guidance. Our classes are fun. You don’t have to be perfect. All you need is a willingness to try something new, the desire to feel better and a sense of humor.

SOMETHING YOU OFFER THAT A CUSTOMER WON’T FIND ELSEWHERE: The dedicated holistic practitio-ners at Healthy Balance Center for Empowered Living are highly trained professionals who work together to support clients seeking a healthier lifestyle.

TheBird Box

by Simon Thompson

Bald cardinals with somewhat reptilian bare black heads - who ever would see such a thing? Well, welcome to the heat of mid-summer and with it the reports of bald-headed northern cardinals, blue jays and even common grackles.

Every year I get emails and phone calls describing these mu-tant-looking birds that aside from their featherless heads otherwise look exactly like the aforemen-tioned species. I must admit that the first time I saw one of these somewhat bi-zarre looking birds I thought it must have been very sick.

Most birds molt their feathers twice a year, replacing all or most of their feathers over a period of a few weeks to a month or so. This is easily seen in our summer resident scarlet tanagers. The males are brilliantly colored red with black wings and tail when they arrive in the spring. By the time late summer rolls around the males’ red feathers are slowly being replaced by green.

The birds retain this green plumage through the win-ter months on their wintering grounds, only regaining their red coloration before they begin to again move north in our spring. It is the same with indigo bun-tings.

The males lose their bright blue plumage in September and molt to a very even brown before their southbound migration. They then superficially resemble the plainer females and immature birds, but they do retain some blue feathers in their wings and tail.

As in many species, male indigos will molt back into their spring finery before they return north to breed. Even during their spring migration some of the males appear in a rather unusual combination of brown and blue feathers.

Here in the mountains of West-ern North Carolina, many of our

resident birds also molt in late summer, usually after they have finished their breeding season.

With many species, such as tufted titmice, Carolina wrens or Carolina chickadees, it’s not very noticeable, but with others the results can look very peculiar indeed and this is especially no-ticeable in cardinals and blue jays. Annual molting may indeed be part of the “baldness syndrome,” but it also may be a result of

an infestation of feather mites or lice. It seems as if immature birds undergo-ing their first molt may be just as likely as adults to un-

dergo this feather loss and we don’t really understand why they lose all of their head feathers at one time.

Staggered feather replacement is the normal molting pattern and

Molting cardinals surprise some bird enthusiasts

this is where those mites may play a part resulting in the complete loss of the bird’s head feathers. Some recent research has suggest-ed that it could even be a result of a nutritional or environmental factor but I am not so sure about this. To be honest, no one knows for sure, as the condition has not been well studied.

Fortunately for the birds, new head feathers do grow in within a few weeks and the birds look less and less reptilian, obviously

none the worse for wear after their summer ordeal.

The Polk County Democratic Women’s Club voted again this year to support the New Century Scholars (NCS) program.

The NCS program is designed to improve academic readiness, bolster student persistence toward high school graduation and increase the college-going rate. The Demo-cratic Women’s Club’s support of the New Century Scholars program is part of the club’s larger mission to support education.

Teachers and staff at the Polk County Middle School select three seventh grade students each year to become New Century Scholars. A student’s potential for success in college is important and they must have a positive attitude and desire for education. Grade point average and financial need are not primary considerations, but most of the students are those who may not get to college without NCS assistance due to personal or financial reasons. Scholars are mentored throughout middle and high school, must main-tain good behavior, attendance and grades, remain drug and alcohol free, perform a set number of hours per year of community service and exhibit good citizenship.

For the third year, the board of the Polk County Campus ICC Foundation Inc. is holding a golf

tury Scholars (NCS) program. The Democratic Women’s Club dona-tion is part of this project. The past two years’ events have been very successful, both in raising money and in producing a fun golfing event at an exclusive club, The Cliffs at Glassy. The past two New Century Scholars golf tournaments have generated about $47,000. All proceeds from the tournaments are

restricted to use for New Century Scholars.

A full page advertisement thanking all contributors will ap-pear in the Tryon Daily Bulletin as has been done in the past. The programs for golfers, meanwhile, will highlight the underwriters and list all supporters.

During the past two years the Foundation Board has had to play “catch-up” to totally fund the program since it started in 2005. The Foundation Board is happy

to report that the New Century Scholars Endowment Fund was opened at the Polk County Com-munity Foundation after the first tournament. This fund allows the Board to meet its current obliga-tions to its current and future Scholar participants in the event that all in the program attend ICC. The maximum number of students in the Polk NCS program is 24. The Foundation Board hopes in the near future to increase the number of students selected each year and

• Scholars(conTinueD from page 11)

pay for books for students attending I.C.C. in addition to their tuitions.

The approximate “high end” cost of attending ICC for two years per student is $4,500.

The Polk County Campus ICC Foundation also awards scholar-ships to several adult students in need of financial assistance. Many of these students are studying for careers in medically-related fields. The board also provides the Polk campus with funds for capital im-provements and programs.

Pittmans Pottery Show at Kathleen’s Gallery

Kathleen’s Gallery will host a reception for local potters, Lucinda and Gerry Pittman of Saluda on Friday, Nov. 25 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Well known for bright colors and whimsical designs, Lucinda and Gerry Pittman have delight-ed collectors and pottery lovers for more than 20 years. Their work is both fun and functional. Their wonky teapots are eagerly sought after, as well as painterly platters depicting colorful folk-art landscapes.

Lucinda was born and raised in Charlotte, N.C. She received her B.S. degree in art market-ing and production from Ap-palachian State University. She moved to Asheville in 1983

where she met Gerry, who was a professional French Horn player.

Lucinda started her art pot-tery business in 1988 and Gerry soon partnered with her in 1991. Since then they have enjoyed making pottery together in the rural mountains of North Caro-lina. They moved to Saluda in 2003 where they built their studio and later their home sur-rounded by the natural beauty that inspires their work.

Come to meet the Pittman’s at Kathleen’s Gallery on Nov. 25 from 5 to 8 p.m. Kathleen’s is located in downtown Tryon at 98 N. Trade St.

Thanksgiving cooking safety tipsThanksgiving is when the kitch-

en becomes the heart of the home with lots of people and activity.

According to the Glassy Moun-tain Fire Department and the Na-tional Fire Protection Association, Thanksgiving is also the leading day of the year for home fires in-volving cooking equipment.

To help prevent these fires, fol-low these safety tips:

Cook with caution• Stay in the kitchen while fry-

ing, grilling or broiling food. If you leave the kitchen for even a short period of time, turn off the stove.

• If simmering, baking, roasting

or boiling food, check it regularly, remain in the home while food is cooking and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.

• Keep anything that can catch fire – oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains – away from the stovetop.

• Make sure kids stay away from the stove, hot food and liq-uids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns. Kids should stay three feet away from the hot stove.

(conTinueD on page 14)

A birthday fit for a queen• Keep the floor clear so you

don’t trip over kids, toys, pocket-books or bags.

• Keep knives, matches and util-ity lighters out of reach of children.

• Make sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.

• Never leave children alone in a room with a lit candle.

• Make sure smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.

If a cooking fire starts:• Get out first. When you leave,

close the door behind you to help contain the fire. Then call 9-1-1 after you leave.

• If you try to fight the fire, be sure others get out and you have a clear way out.

• Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smother small grease fires. Smother the fire by sliding the lid over the pan and turn the stovetop off. Leave the pan cov-ered until it is completely cooled.

• For an oven fire, turn off the heat and keep the door closed.

“If folks take the extra precau-tions listed above, then everyone should have a good, safe Thanks-giving,” said Bryan G. Riebe, chief of the Glassy Mountain Fire

Department.“Deep-frying turkeys have be-

come increasingly popular over the years but they can be very danger-ous. The fryers have a high risk of tipping over, overheating or spill-ing hot oil that could lead to fires, burns or other serious injuries.”

Frying a turkey? Special safety tips:

• Fryers should be used out-doors on a solid level surface a safe distance from buildings and flammable materials.

• Never use a fryer on a wooden deck, under a patio cover, in a ga-rage or enclosed space.

• Don’t overfill the fryer.• Never leave the fryer unat-

tended because, without thermostat controls, the oil will continue to heat until it catches fire.

• Never let children or pets near the fryer when in use or after use as the oil remains hot for hours.

• Use well-insulated potholders or oven mitts and wear long sleeves and safety goggles to protect from splatters.

• Make sure the turkey is com-pletely thawed before placing in a fryer.

• Keep all-purpose fire extin-guishers nearby.

• If a fire occurs in your turkey fryer, call 911 immediately.

In the last article we shared the steps for developing the fourth step of the proposal process – the method section. In this article we will continue to talk about the steps for writing a successful grant, but focusing on the evaluation section of the Narrative.

N o w t h a t you have writ-ten your method section for the program or proj-ect that you are seeking funding for the next step in the grant narrative is the evalu-ation section. In this section you will walk the funder through how you will evaluate your program’s accomplishments.

Remember that funders want to know that their dollars actually did some good. So, you will now decide how to evaluate the impact of your project to deliver these accomplishments to the funder. In the evaluation section you will include what records you will keep or data you will collect, and how you will use these data. Also don’t forget if the data collection costs your organization money, be sure to include that cost in your budget

Things to consider when writ-ing your evaluation section include the following components. Decide whether you are going to use your organizations staff to conduct the evaluation or hire an outside con-sultant to do this part of the grant when awarded. Rule of thumb for this budget item is that foundation will often allow you to designate 5-10 percent of the total project budget for evaluation cost. When

designing your evaluation also think about the reasons for evalua-tion and ask your self the following two questions, did we actually do what we set out to do? And if the methods specified were used, did we meet the objectives?

Additional items to consid-er when writing your evaluation plan/section.

• Was an im-pact made that

identified the need?• Will we obtain feedback for

the constituents served and from other members of the service com-munity?

• Will we maintain control over the project with evaluation being sought at different points through-out the grant cycle.?

• Will we have enough flex-ibility to make changes, if needed, in the program to insure the pro-gram’s success?

Final questions to ask yourself before finalizing the evaluation section. First, what is the overall evaluation’s purpose? Second, how will we use these findings? Third, what will our organization know after the evaluation that they did not know before? Fourth, what will we do as a result of the evaluation that we could not do before due to the lack of information? Fifth, how will our constituents and the community be better served as a result of this grant?

The next article will continue the steps for writing the grant, focusing on the fifth step of the pro-posal – the Sustainability Section.

The annual Polk County Toy Run, a motorcycle ride that gathers toys and raises money to help needy families in the area, will take place Saturday, Nov. 26.

Barry Gee is the creator of the Polk County Toy Run and is a member of the Christian Motorcyclists Assoc ia t ion . He, along with his dedicated c o m m i t t e e , have planned a n d i m p l e -mented the Toy Run the day after Thanksgiving for the past five years.

Gee and the Toy Run orga-nizers invite the public to come out and be on the streets at any of the locations mentioned below. Don’t forget to bring the kids to see Santa and the motorcycles.

The Toy Run will start at the Saluda Fire Department at 11 a.m. where Toy Run mo-torcyclists will first enjoy a barbecue lunch, DJ music and free give-aways before begin-ning their parade trek through Polk County. At 2 p.m. Santa

and a truck full of toys, along with a line of m o t o r c y c l e s loaded with ad-ditional toys, will pull out of the Saluda Fire Department to begin the pa-

rade. The parade will arrive in Tryon at 2:15 p.m. and will pass through Landrum at 2:30 p.m. Motorcyclists will pass through Green Greek, Mill Spring and will arrive at their final des-tination at the Polk County Courthouse in Columbus, North Carolina at 3 p.m. “The purpose of the Toy Run

is to provide Christmas joy to needy Polk County children. Without the generosity of the Toy Run, these children would not have Christmas gifts. We are incredibly thankful to the spon-sors and the many individu-als who participate by giving their time and gifts to see that each child has a very special Christmas,” said Carol Newton, executive director of Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry.

Toy collection boxes are located at Dollar General stores and local banks throughout Polk County for those wishing to drop off their special gifts for children in need.

As part of the Toy Run drive, a Kamando Joe Ceramic Char-coal Grill and 15 percent dis-count coupon for accessories

donated by Blue Water Pools and Spa will be raffled. The winner will be drawn at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 26, at the Polk County Courthouse. Participants do not need to be present to win.

Those interested may pur-chase tickets by contacting Michelle Reedy at Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry 828-894-2988, Polk County Depart-ment of Social Services, Steps To HOPE or the Polk County Sheriff’s Department.

All proceeds from the Toy Run will be divided and do-nated to Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, Polk County Depart-ment of Social Services, Steps To HOPE and the Polk County Sheriff’s Department.

The Polk County Community Foundation awarded Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity a grant from the Unrestricted Fund to be used to remodel the Habitat ReStore in Landrum.

The remodeling included new front doors. The interior of the store was changed to move the entrance/exit to the center, add an office, change the location of the used book section to a more desirable location and paint walls.

It is hoped that this new look will attract more customers so that the profits from the store will increase. These profits are used to purchase building materials for constructing homes.

The Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity affiliate would like to thank the Polk County Commu-nity Foundation for its generous support, which made this project possible.

“So! What in the heck is a Zimblestern?” I asked Mark Schweizer, director of this year’s Community Chorus.

He looked momentari ly baffled, and then responded in surprise, “Where did you get that word?”

“I’ve been reading ‘The Alto Wore Tweed,’” I answered, referring to one of Schweizer’s liturgical mysteries in which I’d come across the term.

Schweizer, a modest man, cringed good-naturedly. “That was the first one I wrote. I wrote it nearly 10 years ago. You should read some of the others; I look back on that one… well, writing gets better with practice.”

I don’t know; I thought it was pretty great, actually.

We were having lunch and supposed to be talking about the upcoming Christmas concert, but I just had to ask, and Mark went on to explain.

“It’s a stop on an organ. When it’s pulled out it rotates a mechanism that produces the sound of bells… like wind chimes.”

This year’s Community Cho-rus Christmas concert won’t offer the chimes of the Zimbles-tern, but the local volunteer musicians and 105 singers, along with their director and their accompanist, Pam McNeil, are pulling out all the stops. Look closely and you may see the choristers singing with their eyebrows raised to their hair-lines to help stay on pitch, or trying not to crack up over the “instructions” that Schweizer’s sense of fun has lead him to in-sert at random in the music, such as “Release the Penguins!” or “Basses - throw Pam a nickel!”

The concert offers a blend of traditional and original. The strains of Donis Schweizer’s violin will soar with the rever-ence of “Gesu, Bambino.” The Cherokee flute of Bob Child, hand carved especially for this performance, will take listen-ers on a journey into the deep

woods of a Native American village on Christmas night.

“Silent Night,” echoing in German and English, will take you on a journey back in time to the Christmas truce of 1914, as sung by soldiers on both sides of the front line, and the five-member cast of “The Shepherd’s Play – a Pastorale” will take you back even further, to a night on the hillsides of Bethlehem.

Lest you think all is calm and quiet: Beware! The concert will also include the powerful and joyous Calypso carol “The Vir-gin Mary Had-a One Son,” the rousing English carol “Masters in This Hall,” written by Wil-liam Morris to an old French dance tune, and the thundering

sounds of Scotland’s highlands by The City of Greenville Pipes and Drums, whose former per-formances include the 1982 World’s Fair in Knoxville and lead performances for Rod Stewart concerts.

“Notice a theme, here?” Sch-weizer asked, with a twinkle. Absolutely. No matter the dif-ferences in musical styles, tradi-tions or languages, the message of Christmas is meant for all people throughout all the earth.

“That’s what Christmas is all about,” Schweizer said.

The concert, proceeds of which fund the Rotary Club’s college scholarships for high school students in Polk County, will take place at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11 at the Polk County High School Audito-rium. Tickets are available from Rotarians, local merchants, chorus members and at the door. Student admission is free. It’s BYOZ, though – Bring Your Own Zimblestern.
