which can easily be changed
with a cool refreshing beverage

crop of this nutritious fruit... the
peach. For your convenience,
the Cooperative Extension Ser
vice has compiled a list of the
local peach producers, their

ing dates. After you get this free

Tryon Estates
Financing Closed
Construction on Tryon Estates
should begin again in earnest
Monday, July 8, according to
Ed Romanow.
Romanow is vice president
for development with Total
Care Systems, the firm which
manages ACTS Inc.'s 14 reti
rement communities.
ACTS has been working o;.
finding a lender to back the
completion of Tryon Estates
ever since a loan commitment
with First Union Bank was
pulled last fall.
Romanow said the loan has
closed and the funds are in
ACTS' portfolio, drawing
interest.
"We actually have the cash,"
he said. Romanow praised the
Thermal Belt community for its
patience and understanding.
Romanow said through all the
delays, only two residents
withdrew from the project and
one of those has returned.
"There should be no further
disruptions," he said.
The first phase of the retire
ment village was expected to be
ready for occupancy in January
1992. Kim Johnson, the execu
tive in charge of construction,
said he is now analyzing Dio
effect of the delays on the
construction schedule.
"We will do everything we
can to adhere to the commit!
ments we've made," Johnson
