A story inside describes Pace’s efforts to grow different varieties of apples. He believes the market for the Red Delicious is over-supplied.

On Wednesday, Sept. 19, Sonya Russell and a passenger, a child, received minor injuries in an accident at the intersection of Howard and Trade Streets. Russell was driving a 1990 Ford north on Trade and was passing under a green light at its intersection with Howard Street when her car was struck by a 1985 Chevrolet traveling east on Howard Street. The driver of the Chevrolet, Amy Carlton, was charged with a red light violation. Tryon police officer Mike Lawing was the investigator. On Friday, Sept. 14 at 3:40 p.m., Mr. and Mrs. Jules Larson were injured when their 1983 Ford Station Wagon was struck from behind while waiting for a car to make a left turn off the southbound lane of South Trade Street into a private driveway near Jervey Road. The Larsons’ car was struck by a 1973 Capris driven by Brian Morse, 17. Morse was charged with following too closely. The accident pushed the Larson’s vehicle into the vehicle in front of it, a 1990 Ford Bronco, owned by Jeremy Wainwright and driven by Arthur Chapman. Both Chapman and Larson were waiting for the other driver to turn. Candidates Present Views In ACT Forum It was a gentlemanly, reserved, even quiet evening when the six candidates for three seats on the Polk County Board of Commissioners presented their views in a forum sponsored by the Association of County Taxpayers (ACT) Wednesday night. About 55 persons filled the lecture room at Isothermal Community College’s Columbus campus. Each candidate in turn introduced himself, answered the same questions posed by ACT, and then fielded questions from the audience. The three Republican candidates are: Bill Crowell, owner of the Tryon Theater and co-owner of Skyuka ACE Hardware in Lynn; Tim McCormack, a manager with McBride Servicemaster in Spartanburg; and Ken Faulkner, an incumbent commissioner and a retired New York State Parkway Police sergeant. The three Democratic candidates are: Sue Cochran, an active Democrat for 20 years and an officer with NCNB in Columbus; Carson Deck, owner of Meadow Brook Golf Course in Green Creek and a retired manager with Biltmore Dairy Farms; and Rachel Ramsey, an incumbent commissioner and director of Steps to HOPE. There were virtually no heated exchanges, and the only challenger even to slightly wag a Contionued On Back Page Tennis Results The Landrum girls tennis team traveled to Tryon for Polk County’s match on Tuesday, September 18 with the following scores: SINGLES Angela Johnson (PC) d.
