The news summary: Gov. Jim
Martin on Thursday said he
supports the N.C. Senate’s
proposal to settle North
Carolina's $338 million shortfall.
Polk County Manager Steven
D. Wyatt on Friday, however,
called The Bulletin from a
room overlooking the ocean in
Wilmington, N.C., where he is
attending a conference of city
and county managers.
He said the N.C. House has
proposed to tack on an additional
20 percent in cuts to state
reimbursements to cities and
counties. The Senate already
wanted to cut just over $20,000
from Polk. If the House gets its
way, Polk could lose as much as
$60,000 in state funds — in
this year’s budget, Wyatt said.
“I don’t like a short term
solution at our expense,” Wyatt
said. “We’re already one-half

process.”
He said this is just another
example of things Polk County
has no control over. But the
county commissioners were
calling the state delegations from
each of their parties and urging

McCall Joins
Dance Troupe Trek
Kelly McCall returned to
Asheville to travel with The
Asheville Contemporary Dance
Theater to the south of France.
She was a member of the
company four years ago.
Ten dancers and a technician
left May 17 for a ten day tour
around Toulouse led by Susan
and Giles Collard, a native of
Toulouse. The tour, a cultural
adventure, included workshops in
the public schools, a formal
concert at a theater and
performances in a small town
open air market.
In addition to performances
and demonstrations, the troupe
worked to establish permanent
ties and a cultural exchange with
the French.
Kelly has returned to Boulder,
CO to attend summer school and
the Colorado University Dance
Festival. She is a senior at the
University of Colorado-Boulder.
Kelly is the daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. C. W. McCall of Tryon.
Correction
A story in Friday’s Bulletin
incorrectly stated that Green
Creek Elementary School has
had no combination classes
since principal Willie Turner
started.
Green Creek has combined one
class, first grade and
kindergarten, for the last two
years.
Karen Anne Sarpolis, daughter
of Richard and Lillie Sarpolis in
the “Woods,” Columbus has
graduated from the University of
Illinois with a Doctor of Medicine
and Masters in Business
Administration Degrees.

Communication
Dear Jeff:
Kudos to you for the changed
“Curb Reporter.” You have
added spice to the paper by
incorporating your editorial
opinion. In my view, it is proper
that you give your readers the
benefit of your thoughts on
significant issues, particularly
those of local interest.
I do suggest, however, that as
is the custom in the newspaper
industry, you should separate
reporting and editorializing.
Perhaps you should write another
column entitled “Curb
Observer,” “Comment” or
something similar. By all means,
though, continue to let us know
what you think.
Sincerely,
Ted Proudfoot
