New paint on Town fire hyrdrants
The Tryon Fire Department has begun the task of repainting all fire hydrants in its district, totaling more than 200 hydrants. It has been several years since all hydrants were repainted, and the department hopes to have the project completed by August. As you will notice the hydrants are being painted yellow with a white top, as well as having rust spots removed.
Some questions have been raised regarding the painting of the fire hydrants in the Business District which were painted to resemble horse jockeys. Those hydrants were painted by private groups who no longer wish to maintain the hydrants. Town Council is now working on a policy which will give further clarification as to the possible return of these familiar characters.
You will also note that fire department personnel will be trimming weeds around these hydrants to maintain a clearance area that allows us to more easily access the hydrants to hook up various sizes of fire hose.
In the next few weeks we will also begin the process of flowing hydrants – which allows us to tell how many gallons per minute a particular hydrant is capable of producing. The tops of the hydrants will then be color coded to meet NFPA standards regarding those flow amounts. Notification regarding areas where the hydrants will be flowed will be publicized in the Tryon Daily Bulletin as well as the Town of Tryon website (http://www.tryon-nc.com/) and the Tryon Fire Department website (http://www.tryonfire.org/).
The public is encouraged to submit comments regarding the painting and maintenance of the fire hydrants as Council works to establish new policy. Comments can be submitted via e-mail to the Tryon Fire Department at tfd@tryon-nc.com or by telephone at 828-859-9566.

NC Recovery
From the Office of Governor Bev Perdue:
Governor Perdue today launched www.NCRecovery.gov, a guide to services of the newly created Office of Economic Recovery & Investment. NCRecovery.gov will let visitors track federal recovery funds in North Carolina, as well as learn about local contract and grant opportunities.
"I am committed to providing the people of North Carolina with a simple-to-navigate guide that is efficient, transparent and accountable,” Perdue said. “I want the people of North Carolina to understand exactly how the money will be used to put North Carolina back to work.”
The website will serve as a resource on the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, its impact on North Carolina and information about the state Office of Economic Recovery and Investment. In the upcoming weeks, visitors will be able to track recovery money as it is spent, suggest projects for funding and learn how to apply for contracts and grants that may be available.
