July 4 2022 Boulder and Asheville NC

Happy Independence Day!  The Fourth of July is a really important day in the United States, since it was the day when, in 1776, the Continental Congress ADOPTED the Declaration of Independence.  It was then written on parchment, which took a while, and on August 2, 1776, delegates to the Congress began signing it.  There are lots of ways people celebrate July 4th, including running in races, having barbecues, watching fireworks, and just resting because they have the day off.

President Biden and his beautiful family watched fireworks shot off by the Washington Memorial from a balcony at the White House.

While I recognize that our country is far from perfect and has been, many times, responsible for travesties and atrocities, as well as fomenting political unrest in its  “national interest”, it has also done a lot of good in the world.

The duality of Life allows for this contradiction, and I can still love my country and the places, animals and (some) people in it, even though I know about its dark deeds.  We can all hope for and work towards a better, more compassionate, country which lives up to its promise of offering “LIfe, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” to EVERONE.

This afternoon we left Boulder for our annual anniversary vacation.  This year we went to Asheville, North Carolina and stayed at the Omni Grove Park Inn.  The Inn has a long and illustrious history:

“Edwin Wiley Grove, known as the “Father of Modern Asheville” was born in 1850 on a small farm in Tennessee. After serving in the Civil War he had a very definite plan for his life and career – the pharmaceutical business and the determination to rise from his early poverty to great wealth and success.

He purchased a pharmacy in Paris, Tennessee in his mid-twenties. He put all of his energy into formulating a tasteless quinine to prevent malaria, a life-threatening disease that permeated the South in the 19th century. After experimenting for several years, Grove introduced Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic and experienced immediate success. In the late 1890’s Grove’s Tasteless Chill Tonic, which had become a household staple, sold more bottles than Coca-Cola. After 20 years on the market, Grove had sold over 1.5 million bottles of his Tonic and surpassed his dreams by making millions of dollars.

Grove himself was often ill, afflicted with periods of bronchitis and exhaustion and his doctors recommended the clean mountain air of Asheville, NC to relax and recover. He spent time in Asheville throughout the year and that is where he would realize his next big dream.

While pursuing new pharmaceutical inventions, Grove met Fred Seely in Detroit, who was making a name for himself in the pharmaceutical business. While working together in Detroit, the two sparked a friendship and mutual admiration. Grove invited Seely to his summer home in Asheville. One week later he left his position in Detroit to work for Grove and his Paris Medicine Company. But business was not the only thing that interested Seely. When Grove introduced his daughter, Evelyn, to the bachelor, within 24 hours Grove had given Seely permission to wed her.

Seely began working for the Paris Medicine Company in June 1898 and in October of that year married Evelyn. Both men ventured into other businesses including real estate. In Asheville Grove began purchasing property, he had successfully developed residential neighborhoods in Atlanta and was considering doing the same in prospering Asheville. With the expansion of the railroad and publicity surrounding the opening of George Vanderbilt’s Biltmore House, Grove was positioning himself as a serious investor in the future of Asheville. In 1909 Grove purchased 408 acres in north Asheville, including what would become The Grove Park Inn. But he would concentrate on residential neighborhoods before ever considering building a hotel.

Two years later Grove began to plan the building of a hotel on Sunset Mountain. In 1911, Seely became involved with the plans. After reviewing the plans of several prominent architects, Grove did not find any of them satisfactory. The consummate visionary, Seely presented a sketch of the proposed hotel to Grove and he not only accepted the plan but gave Seely the enormous task of building the hotel.

Four-hundred men worked 10-hour shifts six days a week. With only the use of mules, wagons and ropes, granite boulders, some weighing as much as 10,000 pounds, were hauled from Sunset Mountain to build the hotel. Seely kept his promise to be open for business in less than one year from the ground breaking.

Just three days shy of one year, The Grove Park Inn opened on July 12, 1913. Secretary of State, William Jennings Bryan, delivered the keynote address to four hundred of the most distinguished men of the South, gathered for the opening banquet. He had no idea of how true his words would become when he proclaimed that The Grove Park Inn “was built for the ages”.

The views from the terraces were also spectacular!  Bruce and I checked into the hotel and were amazed when we found that the suite we were staying in used to be the apartment of E.W. Grove and his wife.

Many of the hallways inside The Omni Grove Park Inn are filled with pictures and stories of the famous people who’ve stayed here, including ten US presidents, multiple world-renowned authors, and other trailblazers.

Industrialist Henry Ford, Inventor Thomas Edison, President Franklin D Roosevelt,  First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, and author F. Scott Fitzgerald all walked these hallways.

The water tanks have been delivered!*

*apparently to another shipping company in Asheville

:-(

I got an email this morning telling me they had been delivered and verbally signed for by someone nobody in my neighborhood has heard of.

I logged into the site and sure enough, delivered! But the receipt also was tagged with the GPS coordinates, which pointed to the other shipping company.

The first shipping company only has 40' trailers, and that won't work in the twisty narrow roads of western NC. When I told them this on Monday, they said they'd transfer it to a local courier.

I guess that's what happened this morning.

[wnchistory]

On this Day in WNC history: Though he spoke from the Tennessee side, on this day in 1940, President Franklin Roosevelt officially dedicated the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with a speech at Newfound Gap. The push for a park or forest reserve in NC (and eastern TN) began decades earlier as concerned citizens and civic leaders recognized the growing destruction wrought by industrial logging following the arrival of the railroad in the 1880s. From 1899-1905, the Appalachian National Park Association (later called the Southern Forest Reserve Association) advocated for protection of mountain forests which contributed to the region’s tourism appeal and also helped lessen flooding, among other things. This early effort also fostered competition between NC and TN for the first eastern national park, with both hoping to attract tourists. In 1911, NC ceded the first eastern tract of land purchased for forest conservation under what became the National Forest Service, but the competition for a national park continued: all while logging companies kept cutting. In 1926, President Coolidge signed legislation creating the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The federal government purchased lands through the 1930s, acquiring tracts from residents as well as timber companies. This gave some cash-poor locals opportunities, but often came with great sadness as traditional livelihoods and communities were displaced, sometimes through eminent domain. At the same time, the NPS strove to create an imagined “wildnerness” in the park, and interpreted those who still lived there in pockets such as Cades Cove as “pioneers” or relics of the first white settlers. In his speech, dedicating the park to the American people, Roosevelt alluded to this “frontier” and “untamed” area, attracting national news coverage. Visitation quickly boomed, and for several decades, the Smokies and the adjoining Blue Ridge Parkway have been the most visited of our national parks.

CART Weekly Report 8/8/19

STORE BRANDS CUT INTO BIG FOOD | Wall Street Journal

Gary’s Take: Big retailers are focusing on promoting private label brands and growth is coming at the expense of the big packaged goods brands that have ruled the supply chain for years. Aside from the differentiation private label can provide, the approach yields far higher gross margins for the retailer and can help build customer loyalty. As I explain in my latest book, Retail in the Age of ‘i’, sophisticated retailers are growing private label and using the added gross margin to help fund strong marketing personalization efforts, growing digital engagement and customer share-of-wallet.

MARTY THE GROCERY STORE ROBOT AND A GLIMPSE INTO OUR HELL-ISH FUTURE | Mashable

Gary’s Take: Not all customers view robots in the aisle as a good thing. As the writer calls out, how can the retailer invest $35,000 per robot when they are dealing with employees striking for higher pay? Retailers need to carefully message what these machines are being used for and create a powerful value proposition to the customer. Included in that messaging should be assurances around how the retailer is approaching automation and the impact on jobs. It’s still very early days for in-store automation but we are already seeing some of the potential challenges.

CONNECTING THE CUSTOMER JOURNEY FROM ONLINE TO OFFLINE | StreetWise

Gary’s Take: As the world becomes increasingly digital, marketers are working hard to connect online and offline shopping behavior and better understand the impact of digital advertising on sales in the brick & mortar store.

CPG COMPANIES SPENDING MORE TO USE LESS PACKAGING | RetailWire

Sterling’s Take: Responding to consumer wants and needs is always a smart strategy. Although, it's important to understand those needs fully and the tradeoffs consumers are willing to make around things like sustainability vs. price. Great packaging speaks for itself, but it's even more powerful when yielded by a culture that's authentically committed to doing good.

property management company durham nc

Autumn is right here and the first signs and symptoms of coloration are opening to surface. And, one of the satisfactory locations to view the colorations of the season exchange is Western North Carolina, and greater specifically, Asheville. property management company durham nc southern metropolis is shut to famous leaf-viewing locations such as the famed Blue Ridge Parkway and one of the most visited parks in the country, Smoky Mountain National Park. It is additionally a quick force from numerous southern cities such as Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and Atlanta.

[theonslowbeat]

Sunday evening a Black Mountain man setout on a mission to find his vehicle. The Onslow Beat received a call from Charles Nicholas “Nick” Tarlton requesting urgent help sharing photos of his 2017 Honda Civic Touring and the police report information.

After searching Facebook for any clues about the juvenile who had stolen his vehicle early Sunday morning from his mountain home while he slept, Tarlton was shocked with what he found. He discovered in his search on Facebook the recent prior posts and articles in regards to recent disappearances with the 17-year-old juvenile, Austin Tyndall. Upon discovering these, it was then he reached out pleading for assistance in sharing information on his vehicle that was stolen from his Black Mountain, NC home.

Tarlton, a Professional Photographer and General Manager of a hotel who became acquainted with 17-year-old Tyndall online via a popular mobile app, “TikTok” that is designed for short-form mobile video clips with dance, singing, comedy, vlogging, food, sports, DIY, animals and everything in between.

Tarlton said that he provided help to Tyndall on several occasions when he was in New York and alleged he was stranded, hungry and needs neglected. Digital Reporter, Melissa Oakley asked Mr. Tarlton, “What made you feel so drawn to help him? Did you not see any signs of a possibly dangerous situation?” Mr. Tarlton responded, “I have helped raise teenagers with a former partner and I guess my fatherly instincts just kicked in, he reminded me of the kids I helped raise and I wanted to help.” Tarlton continued, “It’s just sad that in today’s world you want to have a good heart and help people and you can’t.”

Nick Tartlon went in depth with The Onslow Beat in showing his selfless acts of humanity towards Austin Tyndall. “I bought him food for a good week while he was in NY, I just can’t stand to see anyone going hungry, especially a kid like that.”, Tarlton said. He further explained that he offered to buy Austin a bus ticket but he didn’t have an ID to board a bus so he took vacation time, used his own money and set off to NYC to help a stranger in need get home, who he had no idea would soon make him the next victim.

Nick Tarlton said he drove to NYC to pick up Austin Tyndall and drove him back to the Beulaville, NC area by Mike’s Farm where Austin said he was, “kind of just staying between friends.”  Austin contacted Nick the following week to bring him some money, a repayment of sorts for all he had done for him while he was in NYC. Austin Tyndall came by travel in a pick up truck that he shortly after arrival to the mountain area said had mechanic issues and needed repair, which turned into a suggestion to scrap the truck. You can see in these messages that at this point Nick Tarlton became very frustrated with the idea that Austin had travelled all the way to the mountains to give him what was at that time $20 (view images) and then lead to more issues that would potentially require him to assist physically and financially. It has been further discovered that Austin Tyndall travelled to the home of Nick Tarlton in the pickup truck and it was allegedly stolen as well.  The Onslow Beat reached out to Asheville PD which is the agency in that matter and was unable to receive a response by deadline.

Below is a screenshot from Austin Tyndall expressing gratitude over social media on Facebook for the help and generosity Nick Tarlton had shown before the very ironic event occurred.

While in today’s climate of youth being taken advantage of, human trafficking and sex trafficking, it seems to be that is nowhere near the case here. Speculations quickly rose with Nick Tarlton being a 40-year-old, gay, white male and Austin Tyndall being a 17-year-old in what appeared to be circumstances of desperation and despair. In this case, it’s merely a one in a million, a true good Samaritan.  Below you can see pieces of conversations by electronic means between Tarlton and the juvenile where food was ordered for him while in NY after the last disappearance.

BACK STORY

On April 23, 2019, Goldsboro Police posted a missing persons report for Tyndall via Facebook. During this incident, Tyndall had taken his mother’s vehicle he was not authorized,  nor licensed to operate along with two teenage girls who were also included in the missing alerts additionally. The three juveniles were located in Iowa several days later.

May 10, 2019 Onslow County Sheriff’s Office issued a Missing Persons report for the girlfriend of Austin Tyndall, Madison Bratcher. Austin and Madison had yet again left the state in a vehicle he was unauthorized to operate. The two juveniles were located in Connecticut on May 15, 2019. From Connecticut, Austin Tyndall somehow made way to New York.

THIS WEEK

Early Monday morning at 12:43am a Craven County deputy responded to a request from the Black Mountain Police Department to locate a stolen 2017 Honda Civic Touring operated by juvenile, Austin Tyndall age 17 at an address in Newport, NC. The vehicle was located and the suspect fled in the vehicle. The chase ended in New Bern, NC in Craven County. Craven County Sheriff’s Office and the NC State Highway Patrol were able to stop the vehicle and take him into custody. Carteret County Sheriff’s office said Monday, Austin Tyndall was in custody under a $10K secured bond.” Tyndall was charged with one count of (F) fleeing to elude law enforcement and (F) larceny of a motor vehicle per the Black Mountain Police Department Monday morning with probation violations pending.

The owner of the vehicle, Nick Tarlton told Digital Reporter, Melissa Oakley after he became aware of his vehicle being gone that he realized that Austin Tyndall had used his computer when he was there. He checked the browser to see if Tyndall had failed to log out on any online accounts and if the location settings were on.

“I realized he had used my laptop, so I decided to see if he was still logged into any of his accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Google, anything to see if his location was on and I could tell the police where he was at with my car.”, Tarlton said. “Sure enough, he had not logged out of his Facebook account nor his Google account…”, he continued. “From there, I called Black Mountain [police] and told them where he was located.”, explained Tarlton

Austin Tyndall is currently showing to have one upcoming court date per the NC Courts website. He is calendared to be in Wayne Co. (Goldsboro) on June 24, 2019 for an arrest from May 7, 2019 for unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, misdemeanor probation violation, and he is currently on probation for Larceny of a Motor Vehicle in 2018 in Lenoir Co.

Nick Tarlton, the most recent victim of car theft was able to get his car back Wednesday in Morehead City, NC and head back to his mountain home with minimal damages.

The Onslow Beat received many tips and screenshots of messages from sources who wish to remain anonymous where Tyndall admitted to stealing the vehicle belonging to Nick Tarlton, how he did it and how fast he was driving the vehicle at high rates of speed (160MPH) all while bragging gleefully to friends online as he headed back to the coast of NC. Tyndall showed no remorse in the messages not shown for privacy and ethical standards (heavy language) cannot be shared publicly, referring to the stolen vehicle as his own, bragging to friends to come out and see “his” car at local businesses.

Screenshot image of Tyndall showing image of speed to another person by digital communication in what appears to be a video chat.

In asking Nick Tarlton, “If you could say one thing or ask anything to Austin Tyndall, what would you say or ask after all of this?” “Tarlton answered, “I would ask why and how could you do this to someone who was so generous and genuinely kind to you? ”

“How are you now that this is over for the most part?” Tarlton replied, “It feels like I’m getting back to normal. My car is in the shop and getting the necessary repairs. I did have some unnerved feelings for several days…” He continued with response of how it has changed him, “In the long term, someone will come along and really need help and I’ll say no.”

The great state of N.C. tries most cases with 16-17 year-old juveniles as adults in cases as this. We can only hope for fair justice and Austin Tyndall to change his behavior and become a productive adult citizen in society.
