Most Tryon restaurants are
open for lunch on Saturday. The
notion that most are closed has
cropped up a couple times over
the past few months in Bulletin
writings. And the error has been
pointed out to us. Three of five
restaurants are open. George’s
Restaurant & More and Pine
Crest Inn arc closed Saturdays
at lunchtime. The Village,
Jerry's and Sidestreet arc open,
and once The Vineyard opens
up next month it also will be
open for lunch Saturdays.
Heywood Hannon called to
say that The Vineyard was once
known as Old Scandia restau
rant as well. We reported two
previous names in a story Fri
day - Sunnydale and Hearth-
stone.
Virginia Pados called to say
that Caroline Davis' home is
beautifully decorated for Hal

chance.

School Board
Hires Local Attorney
William McFarland Jr. will
take over as counsel for the
Polk County Board of Educa
tion effective Dec. 1.
McFarland replaces Russell
Burrell of Hendersonville.
The school board felt it should
employ people within the
county who arc willing and
capable to serve, explained
McFarland.
McFarland said that his inter
est in the school board com
bines his interest as an attorney
and as a parent of school-age
children.
"1 will still be on the Tryon
Town Council," McFarland
assured.
He added that the Tryon
Town Council is considering
another meeting date other than
the second Monday to avoid a
scheduling problem.
Past trends of hiring profes
sional counsel for elected
boards and councils out of the
county or district to avoid
potential conflicts of interest are
changing, McFarland pointed
out. Now, boards and councils
are more prone to hire someone
within the county, he said.

County Makes Pitch
To Tryon Council
For E-911 Service
Tire Polk County communi
cations department could handle
Tryon's E-911 service,
department director Ami Gibbs
told the Tryon Town Council
Monday night.
Duc to concerns about the
county's ability to dispatch
emergency sen ices in the town,
the council budgeted approxi
mately $80,000 this year to
keep its five dispatchers rather
than depend upon the county’s
new E-911 service entirely.
The 13-cent tax increase
enacted roughly covered the
same cost, raising $85,163 for
the town.
On Monday night, the
council asked Gibbs and
County Manager John Lewis if
it was worth the expense.
"Do you need Tryon as a
backup?" councilman William
J. McFarland asked.
"It has been very valuable to
know that Tryon communica
tions has well qualified dis
patchers over here to assist
me," Gibbs said. "But if I had
two persons on duty at the
county, I could replace that."
Gibbs said that in addition
to administrative duties, she
serves as a second dispatcher on
first shift. She said two dis
patchers are always scheduled
during the second shift, when
most emergency calls are
received. But only one dis
patcher works third shift.
