Former Tryon Rotary
Exchange Youth
In The “Big Time”
Amber Marlowe, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Sam T. Marlowe
formerly of Columbus,
represented the Tryon Rotary
Club in the summer of 1986 as the
Exchange Youth selected to visit
Pirmasens, Germany. In the
August 6 issue of “PEOPLE”
magazine, page 101, is a picture
of Amber who, according to the
accompanying article is
competing for the honor of
representing Lucille Ball in an
upcoming CBS movie. Quite a
resemblence, what! Tryon
Rotary is understandably proud
of the many achievements of
other of the 30 Rotary Exchange
Youths — both the American and
the German. — Rotary Reporter
New School
Groundbreaking Set
The official groundbreaking for
the new Polk County
Consolidated High School has
been set for August 20 at 6:30
p.m. on the high school site.
The groundbreaking was set
Monday after the Polk County
Board of Education voted
unanimously to award the site
development contract to Perry
Alexander Construction Co. of
Asheville.
The bid award, recommended
by both GMK Associates
management firm and school
building architect John Cort,
included site development bids
and an alternate bid for 760 feet of
unpaved roadway from NC 108 to
the northeast corner of the
baseball field for a total of
$653,920.
Without the alternate bid for
the roadway, Dillingham
Construction of Asheville was the
low bidder for site development
only, but the school board agreed
that the roadway is necessary for
crowded sports events and
maintenance access. Perry
Alexander Construction was
second low bidder for site
development at $629,650 and low
bidder for the roadway at $24,270.
The only local company
bidding, Henson’s Building
Construction, was second overall
low bidder by only $130. School
board chairman Georgia Pack
said that the board preferred a
local company, but that to re-bid
the project would raise the cost
considerably due to rising fuel
