Tryon Daily Bulletin, Wed., Apr. 1,1992 Curb Reporter (Continued From Page One) think should be done? Several members of the county's Economic Develop ment Commission agree that Polk is being passed over. Wliy? State officials apparently told the EDC members that industrial prospects want to see about a dozen things in place, none of which Polk has. One is a land use plan of some sort. No industry wants to come to a place where it isn't sure it is wanted, where it may later have problems with neighbors, and where no plan exists for how growth will be accommodated, they say. It's all well and good for office seekers to say they want more industry. But let's also ask them what they are willing to do to get it. What's happening: New members and newcom ers to the area are invited to the Lanier Library today at 2:30 p.m. for a tour, refreshments and surprise gifts for two lucky guests. The Tryon Thermal Belt Chamber of Commerce will hold a ribbon cutting ceremony at Sisters Two in Mill Spring Thursday at 11 a.m. On Friday at 4 p.m., Bill Alexander, the landscape cura tor at Biltmore Estate, will pre sent a slide show and lecture at FENCE. Tickets are available at FENCE, Carole's Shoes, and NationsBank. The Dynamic Breakers will perform for the Polk County Jaycees fourth annual beach, rhythm and blues dance Satur day from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. For ticket information, call Hov McClure at 457-4405. Reservation forms are avail able for the Green Blades Gar den Club's Tryon Home Tour from Carole's Shoes. Tire tour will be held April 8. There will be a Rabies Clinic held in Polk County Saturday, April 25 th. The Republicans will hold their Pig Pickin' April 25th at Republican headquarters in Columbus. The six Republican candidates for county commis sioner will speak. The Tryon Little Theater will present The Diary of Anne Trank April 30, May 1, 2 and 3. The Tryon Community Cho rus will present its annual Spring Concert May 22-24. Gibbs (Continued from Front Page) 145 minutes in length to allow 35 minutes for lunch. A .45—minute additional period from 9:55 to 10:40 a.m. will be an important part of the new daily schedule. This time will be used every day for advocate counseling of each student and for TV Channel I viewing to keep students aware of events and issues of national and world importance. "The new schedule is one of the first steps to implementing the new outcome-based curri culum," said Associate Super intendent for Instniction Susan Leonard. "We can't afford to go on losing 15 percent of instruc tional time in changing classes. With one hour and 50 minutes for each subject, our teachers will be able to use a variety of teaching strategics they don't have time for with the tradi tional schedule. I think students and their parents will be pleased with the results." Community Reporter New Schedule (Continued from Front Page) Cochran said during a recent candidates' forum that she hopes Gibbs' departure will be an opportunity to put the communications operations back in the Sheriffs Depart ment. 4-H Leaders Make A Difference Some 450 adult and youth leaders from across the state gather in Greensboro for the annual North Carolina Volun teer 4-H Leader Association Conference. The conference theme was "4-H, the Difference We Make." Tlie leaders discussed their particular involvement in county and district programs, participating in seminars and workshops, and elected asso ciation officers. Conference highlights included award presentations and a panel discussion featuring State Representative Harold L Brubaker of Asheboro; Third District U.S. Representative H. Martin Lancaster of Goldsboro; Ralph Britt of Raleigh, a former Duplin County 4-H'er and for mer North Carolina State Uni versity football player and team captain; and Katherine L. Har relson of Greensboro, regional director of the state Council on the Status of Women. Awards were presented to adult leaders or adult leader teams in 18 counties and to 22 youths or TRY (Teens Reach ing Youth) teams in 14 counties. Among those receiving awards were Sunnyview 4-H club volunteers. Team members Sally Goodwin, Kathy Hut chinson, Myrtle Jackson, and Teresa Edwards received the State Volunteer Leadership team award. Other adult leaders attending from Polk County were Alma Brian, Pea Ridge 4-H leader, John Fischer, 4-H Teen Club leader, and Sheila Gilbert, leader of 4-H Electric Club. -Community Reporter Area Cyclists Gather For Evening Rides Riders in the Polk Country area will soon be gathering on Thursday evenings for easy to moderate to moderate bicycle rides.
