Elsbeth Luedi submitted a few
pages from the book, Money
Smarts, which lists Tryon as the
first choice among retirement
spots.
It's likely the retiree
will be looking for a
Sun Belt address, the
writer acknowledges. "But
instead of following the crowd,
you may be hoping to find a
more private haven." The
writer rated cost of living, crime
rate, temperature and humidity',
air quality, housing, medical
facilities, and cultural and rec-

Business Trash
Pick-Up Fees Hiked
Businesses in Tryon are going
to start helping the town pay its
landfill costs next month.
The Tryon Town Council
decided to raise business trash
pick-up fees Monday night.
Businesses will now pay
between $15 and $90 per month
for six-day per week service.
Business service had cost
anywhere from $10 to $135, but
Town Manager Matthew Dolge
told the council the new rates
will be an increase to most
businesses.
Residential trash fees were
also raised from $7 a month to
$8 a month.
The town has been paying
about $3,000 a month in tipping
fees at the Polk County landfill
since the county established the
tipping fees last fall. The coun
cil, however, had decided to
wait before raising its fees, in
order to establish its costs and
work out an equitable new fee
structure.
The council has for months
wrestled with plans that would
charge less to households with
less trash, but in the end
decided to charge all house
holds the same.
Businesses, however, were
grouped by the amount of trash
they generate after Dolge rode
with town crews on the trash
truck one morning.

Florists, Please Note
Florists need take no alarm at
the news that the Tryon Little
Theater's next comedy is
entitled Send Me No Flowers.
The play is not propaganda
aimed at their business. The
title is a whimsical reference to
the hero's hypochondriacal fear
that he will die any minute, and
the hilarious capers he goes
through in making his prepara
tions for an event that is purely
imaginary.
The play has been described
as a "beguiling little comedy,
that is amiable and has laughter
sprinkled over it like cloves on
a ham." Watch for the
announcement on advance
ticket sales. The play will be
presented at Tryon Fine Arts
Center May 2-5.
