Teens seriously injured in crashby Leah Justice

Two Polk County teenagers were seriously injured in a car wreck in Tryon over the weekend.

The Tryon Police Department reports that a single car accident occurred on U.S. 176 at the city limit line heading toward the Paco-let Valley on Saturday night around 8:40 p.m.

A male teenager was driving the vehicle with one female passenger. Both victims were ejected from the

vehicle, according to reports. Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arrowood says it appears neither were wearing seatbelts.

The vehicle was traveling toward the Pacolet Valley when it ran off the road and struck the Tryon City limit sign, according to reports. Both vic-tims were airlifted to hospitals, the male to Spartanburg and the female to Greenville. Both were still hos-

Western Carolina Hunter Pace & Trail Ride kicks off season

The 2010-11 Western Carolina Hunter Pace & Trail Ride Series will begin Saturday, Sept. 11 with a benefit event for the SE Children’s Home.

The series currently has 17 events tentatively scheduled and may have yet another joining the ranks, with year-end awards and ribbons going to high score indi-viduals in each division at a special year end awards gathering at a date and place as yet to be determined.

Hunter paces vary in different parts of this country, but WCHP organizers say they are generally a fun way to get out and about with horses, enjoy trails that are nor-mally not accessible and compete in a friendly game. The WCHP & Trail Ride Series events will normally be between six and ten miles in length.

The field hunter division will continue very much in the tradi-tional manner with an “optimum time” set prior to the event by a rider who has ridden the trail at a foxhunting pace. A timekeeper will track “on-course” time for each team and the team coming the clos-est to the optimum, whether over or under, will be declared as winner of the field hunter division for the respective event.

The trail rider division has been created from the more traditional hill topper division in which the trails are taken at a more sedate pace. The terrain and scenery is expected to have much to do with these ride times. The winning time for the trail rider division will be determined by averaging the middle half of the ride teams. That is, if there are 20 teams the time of the fastest five teams and the slowest five teams will be put aside and the middle ten team times will be averaged. An outside time limit may be set by some organiza-tions and riders will be notified of this in advance.

Many of this season's hunter paces will continue to offer a va-riety of foods. Normal fare can be anything from soup and a sandwich in the fall, chili or stew during the winter or cold salads and picnic style sandwiches for the warm

weather rides. Coffee, soda, tea, cookies and/or cake, chips and other accompaniments as well as apples or carrots for horses are also usually offered. Some organizers opt to have a caterer on site for riders to either brown bag or purchase their lunch. When this is the case, the flyer will make notation of it and entry fees will be lowered accordingly.

There is a required rest stop, usually three minutes, about half-way through the course at which riders are usually offered such refreshments as water, juice, cook-ies, candy and/or the traditional “stirrup cup.”

Jumps vary in size and style ac-cording to the group and terrain and are traditionally taken by the field hunters. However, in this series all jumps are optional. All riders taking jumps are required to wear protec-tive head gear.

Attire, once similar to the formal hunt suits, has become relaxed. Over the past few years the paces in this series have totally dispensed with any dress preference, and there is even the annual Halloween costume contest. Normally, breeches and shirt, jeans and sweatshirt, slacks and T-shirt or basically any comfort-able, neat, safe riding attire is fine.

Likewise, the focus of your mount’s attire should be on safety and comfort whether that means English, Western, a mixture, or something entirely different.

Once again Lou, the series' official photographer, will make permanent records of the events. His photos and others are usually posted to the website (http://www.WCHPace.org) by the weekend fol-lowing an event and can be ordered through the site via email.

A few regulations to keep in mind:

• All riders are requested to wear protective head gear, but those rid-ers opting not to take any jumps may sign a special waiver and ex-ercise their option to dispense with helmets at many events (if allowed per the requirements of the organi-zation’s insurance company).

• Proof of a current, negative Coggins test is required at all Western Carolina Hunter Pace & Trail Ride Series Events. This is a state law.

A couple of general reminders:Events are usually scheduled

two weeks apart to allow the fol-lowing weekend as a rain date. As weather can be very different just a few miles away here in the foothills, it’s always prudent to check the website the morning of the event.

If you are on the hunter pace email list you will receive an alert as soon as possible if an event is postponed, so check your email and the website before dialing the phone. To be added to the hunter pace email list, send an email to [email protected]. If you don’t receive a response within a few days, check back or resend.

If weather is questionable and you don’t have Internet access at home, you can double check either the evening before or the morning of the event by calling the hosting organization’s contact person (see table above).

Normally the results for an event will be posted on the website the night after the event.

The event organizers are respon-sible for distribution of each event’s ribbons and should therefore be contacted directly if you place and your ribbon does not arrive in a

A couple of weeks ago, I took a photograph of what the owner said was a big potato (and I’m taking his word for it).

The big tater picture joins a group of other vegetables and a few fish photos I’ve taken over the years. But, hey, that’s life at a community newspaper – some days you get coleslaw, some days you get a big cab-bage.

A few miles down High-way 176 and hang a right on Highway 357, the Holly Springs community has spent the summer in turmoil over the firing of the local fire chief, Lee Jeffcoat.

As news stories go, it was a pretty big tater.

Holly Springs is a four-way stop and a Baptist Church. It used to be dominated by peach orchards and a cotton gin once cranked to life across the road from where the fire department is now. There, Ms. Mary Lyda sends birthday cards to each member of the church (I got mine last week). She’s 102 years old and has taught four or five generations of children in that community either in school, Sunday school or Bible school.

By and large, the people there are the kind you want as your neighbors. But the whole mess over Jeffcoat’s job left a lot of people feeling not-so-neighborly.

It also served as a reminder about the importance of news-papers and good reporting.

The firing of Jeffcoat, which seemed predetermined as the

summer went along, was the most volatile issue, but it also became apparent that the com-missioners were acting outside of the law, conducting business behind closed doors and hold-ing secret meetings.

Even though the story of Jeffcoat’s firing and the com-munity’s adverse reaction to it got the attention of local television stations, Jay King, a reporter for Hometown News, stuck with the story when the TV cameras weren’t around to film the outrage. Hometown News

o w n s s e v e r a l weekly newspa-pers around Spar-tanburg County and their function is largely like that

of The Tryon Daily Bulletin – to report good news and bad and to serve as a watchdog for the public so that commissions and boards and the like act within the law.

The commissioners of the Holly Springs Fire Department – with the exception of Hugh Jackson, who said he was often not notified of meetings himself -- chose not to act within the law. They have been charged with a criminal violation of that law – a first in state history.

The commissioners kicked King out of a public meeting without going into executive session, despite his protests and his attempts to clarify the Freedom of Information Act to them. They acted with no small amount of arrogance, skating on and, in my opinion, beyond the fine edge of South Carolina’s Freedom of Information Act, which is also called a “sunshine law.”

Holly Springs events show value of newspapers

They moved meeting times from their traditional late eve-ning slot to early afternoons to discourage public participation. When they finally began post-ing meeting notices, they did it just 24 hours before the meet-ing and would not allow additions to their agendas.

At the meeting during which Jeffcoat was fired, only those who agreed with them were put on the agenda. Those who op-posed them were told it was too late for them to be added.

When charged with the vio-lation of the FOI law, they pleaded ignorance.

the case a landmark for journal-ism in the state.

But it also proves that news-papers – financially troubled, under-staffed and often criti-cized – still have worth in the scheme of things.

No Internet bloggers are go-ing to chase the story the way

King did. The television stations covered the story well, but left it when there was

no good video footage to get.Hometown News and King

deserve a hand from their fel-low journalists and the public for whom they are fighting. The legal system should back them with harsh punishment for ap-pointed public officials who have displayed such disregard for the public they are charged to represent and protect.

Letter to the Editor

Naming DSS was a rush to judgement To the Editor:

As you know recently the Polk County Commissioners on a vote of 3-to-2 rushed to name the new projected DSS building. It was obvious that the two com-missioners voting “no” had not even been consulted before the vote. The vote was to name the building after a gentleman that has done many things in his civic involvement over many years.

I do not understand why there was this rush to judgement even though the contract for the new building had not even been con-sidered and let. As a matter of

fact, the bid package has only now been sent out.

Could it be that this was just politics as usual in Polk County? Could is be that this was election year politics to help one of the three sitting commissioners that voted “yes” get re-elected? You judge.

The many veterans and civic organizations in Polk County did not even have an opportu-nity to provide input. Seems like a shame to me. Would it not have been better to get commu-nity input and have a committee, consider the suggestions from the community and make recom-mendations to the commissioners to name the building when it was completed? You judge.

– Paul Sutherland

Letter to the Editor

Solicit for county planning boardTo the Editor:

Half the Polk County Planning Board seats, four of eight posi-tions, will expire 10/31/10 and the vacancies will be appointed by the Board of Commission-ers.

I have been a member of the board for well over a year and will give you an overview of the board. The Planning Board meets on the second Thursday from 5 p.m. to about 7 p.m. The board reviews subdivision applications, considers requests from the Board of Commissioners, reviews such ordinances as the zoning and sub-division ordinances and consid-ers modifications and updates and reviews new ordinances such as the Mountainside and Ridgeline Protection Ordinance. The seats are appointed for three years.

Another activity the Planning Board will be involved with is the County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Following the approval of the Polk County Comprehensive Land Use Plan, the Commissioners agreed that the next step is to create a Unified Development Ordinance which will work to combine all land use ordinances into one ordinance for ease of use and application and to

roll into it suggestions from the Comprehensive Land Use Plan passed this year.

The UDO committee ap-pointed by the Commissioners, of which I am a member, has begun their multi-year task of creating the ordinance. The UDO will eventually be presented to the Planning Board for review and then will be forwarded to the Board of Commissioners.

As you can see, the Planning Board is a crucial element in the effort to define and keep Polk County rural, green and economi-cally vibrant.

Please contact the the County Manager’s office for an ap-plication (email or hard copy), 828-894-3301 ext 7, and submit by Sept. 31 for consideration by the commissioners during the selection process that will occur in October. Also encourage your friends to apply. The board needs a mix of people with varying backgrounds.

As you know, Polk County citizens have made great strides working together towards creat-ing a sustainable rural, green and vibrantly economic County.

The next Planning Board meeting will be held Thursday, Sept. 9, in the Womack building. The meetings are open to the pub-lic. Please attend and learn more about the Planning Board.

Marjorie A. Westphal

Marjorie A. Westphal, a Tryon resident since 1983, passed away September 4, 2010.

Born in Peoria, Illinois, the only child of John L. and An-nabel Hart Westphal, Marjorie spent most of her life in Spring-field, Ill., until she retired to North Carolina, in fulfillment of a long standing dream. As a young woman she had ad-mired the team of Lulu Belle and Scotty, who were regular entertainers on Station WLS, Chicago. Their occasional refer-ences to their home state of North Carolina determined Marjorie to plan for retirement many years later somewhere in that state. The place was determined when she found books written by Jean Hersey which described Tryon and fell in love with the town.

Marjorie was employed as a bookkeeper/secretary for 25 years in a private investment firm, and for the next 20 years by the state of Illinois at the Board of Governors of State Col-leges and Universities as a budget analyst for the newly established Sangamon State University (now known as University of Illinois at Springfield).

During her years in Tryon she was active as a volunteer in many civic and educational organiza-tions, as well as in the Christian Science Church, of which she was a lifelong member.

Her survivors include numer-ous cousins and dearly loved friends.

Cremation rites were accord-ed, and no funeral is planned.

Memorials may be made to the Christian Science Church, Tryon; Lanier or Polk County libraries; Foothills Humane Society; or the charity of choice.

ObituariesFreeman memorial

A gathering of friends of Jim Freeman will be held Friday, September 10, 5 to 7 p.m. at the Upstairs Artspace. A short pro-gram is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Prep roundup

Wolverines improve to 3-0by john Clayton

r-s Central couldn’t make it two in a row.

polk County High school stopped the Hilltoppers winning streak in the series at one Friday night with a 35-14 road victory, avenging a loss from 2009.

In a sometimes sloppy game that featured nine turnovers between the two teams, pCHs got scores from all three phases of the game – offense, defense and special teams – en route to the victory. The Wolverines have now won seven of eight games against r-s Central.

“We need to convert better after we get turnovers, but we were able to score on defense,” said pCHs head coach Bruce ollis. “But we did score on de-fense, and scoring on defense is

a big deal.”Cody orick capped the scor-

ing with a fourth-quarter 40-yard interception return for a touch-down and giving the unbeaten Wolverines (3-0) a cushion.

Coming off a 56-0 victory over Brevard a week earlier, pCHs appeared headed on its way to another blowout after Joel Booker returned the opening kickoff 85 yards for a touchdown and a 7-0 lead.

orick added a 17-yard touch-down run in the first quarter as PCHS jumped out 13-0 before r-s Central (1-2) scored.

r-s Central quarterback Jacob Kinlaw broke through for the Hilltoppers with a 22-yard touch-down pass to Darrien Watkins, but the Wolverines, following interceptions thrown by Kinlaw

and Andre Overholt, answered with a score before the half.

tyler ridings’ pick off of a Kinlaw pass gave PCHS pos-session at its own 37. Four plays later, Overholt connected with Ryan Thomas on a 13-yard touchdown pass. Overholt then connected with Booker on the two-point conversion try to put pCHs ahead 21-7.

Kinlaw added a 15-yard run in the third-quarter to bring r-s Central to within 21-14, but Overholt answered with an 11-yard touchdown run to extend the lead.

“We went into our two-minute offense there, and we practice that a lot,” said Ollis. “Our kids never panicked, so I’m very pleased with that. scoring before the half created some momentum.”

a dominating eagles defense and a series of costly mistakes doomed Landrum Friday night in a 41-0 loss at Chesnee.

the Cardinals turned the ball over six times -- three fumbles lost and three interceptions -- and never got its running game going as the eagles held LHs to just 6 yards rushing on 31 attempts after sack yardage and tackles for loss.

Cannon, who passed for 135 yards on 12 of 23 passing, was sacked five times and intercepted twice.

“We made too many mistakes, and we’re working to correct those mistakes this week,” said LHs head coach russell Ma-haffey.

the eagles (2-0) scored on six of their first seven possessions and took a commanding 34-0 lead into halftime.

Chesnee quarterback Walt Miller connected on 14 of 23 pass attempts for 225 yards and four touchdowns, including two each to receivers taylor Wade and DaJohn rowland. running back grant Jones also scored on runs of 2 and 17 yards in the second quarter.

Cole McDowell managed a team-best 61 yards on 12 carries for the Cardinals (1-1). He also had three receptions for 46 yards. Jacob Lindsay had two catches for 38 yards.

the tough loss left head coach russell Mahaffey taking the blame.

“It was my fault,” Mahaffey said. “I obviously didn’t have the team ready to play and that’s on me. I’m working on that, too.”

the Cardinals are back on the road Friday night when they face polk County in their annual border rivalry.

Once upon a time, not

so long ago, a local couple

happened upon a skinny

little Appaloosa mare in a

dirt lot. Her owner no longer

wanted to trail ride her; she

wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew

a few things about horses

and decided to take her

home with them and find

the little mare a new family.

Some extra food, good grass

and a few trail rides later this

couple put an ad up in the

local feed store.

At this very same time, a

sweet “horse crazy” young

girl had convinced her

parents to let her take some

riding lessons. She caught

the bug and now dreamed of

having her own horse. After

some poking and prodding

her parents answered an ad

they found at the local feed

for sale! The little girl, whose name

is Amanda, met the little

mare, who’s name is Nia,

and as most dreams happen

Taylor 2 dance ensemble opens new season at TFAC

Back by popular demand, the six-member dance ensemble, Taylor 2, returns to Tryon Fine Arts Center Sunday, Oct. 3 at 8 p.m. to present the works of one of the legends in American con-temporary dance, Paul Taylor.

Presented by Rosenberg Bone & Joint and the North Carolina Arts Council, the performance will bring the athleticism, humor and range of emotions found in Mr. Taylor’s work to the inti-mate setting of TFAC’s newly-renovated theater.

Now in his 80th year — an age when most artists’ best work is behind them — Mr. Taylor is acclaimed for the vibrancy, rel-evance and power of his dances. Few artists of our time have had the profound impact on their art form that Paul Taylor has had on dance.

Fifty-three years after he made his first avant garde works, he is revered as one of the world’s greatest choreographers with his collection of 130 dances per-formed by his own celebrated company (now numbering 16 dancers) and the smaller Taylor 2. He has influenced dozens of

men and women who have gone on to create their own dances or establish their own troupes.

Taylor 2 was formed in 1993 to ensure that Mr. Taylor’s works could be seen by audiences all over the world, unhindered by economic or technical limita-tions. This group of dancers is particularly gifted at teaching and providing community outreach with extensive residencies held in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and San Francisco, involving thousands of students.

“Tryon Fine Arts Center is honored to have Taylor 2 give a master class the morning follow-ing the performance,” said TFAC executive director Beth Child.

For tickets, visit the Box Of-fice Tuesday - Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. or call 859-8322. For more information, go to www.tryonarts.org.

Tryon Fine Arts Center is a nonprofit organization that brings the magic and power of the arts to people of all ages through a variety of experiences made pos-sible by generous individuals and foundations.

The Taylor 2 dance ensemble will soon appear on the TFAC stage.

Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by dean Campbell

(ConTinueD on page 20)

Gosnell Cabin ‘hainted’ with groans, kick soundsThe old cabin that Gresham

Callahan first inhabited and the Gosnell family lived in for three generations fell into limited use and disrepair for a number of years on Camp Old Indian grounds.

Used only as a secret meeting place for the Order of the Ar-row, an honor camping group, the cabin was always locked up and shutters nailed shut to prevent vandalism between the infrequent meetings of the secret group.

This fact alone created ‘buzz’ among scouts and scoutmasters as they camped in shelters near the mysterious old structure.

A number of accidents and tragedies had befallen members of the Gosnell family in the old cabin over the years. Luther, the last family member to live in the cabin, had an epileptic fit near the fireplace, while alone. The

spasms caused his legs to go into the fire.

He was not found for three days and died of gangrene in the old Greenville General Hos-pital.

Local folk and scouters begin to tell others about Luther. Before long, some began hearing groans and kicking sounds coming from the old cabin. They said it was his spirit reliving his agony and kicking to get his legs out of the fire.

When a new Scout Execu-tive of the Blue Ridge Council, Lawrence L. Stanley, arrived years later, he heard details of the Gosnell cabin’s ‘hainting.’

He included the cabin when relating other ghost stories to campers around mid-week campfires. Little did he know that soon he would have an opportunity to experience the mysterious sounds first hand.

When builders were con-structing a new, large stone and frame lodge for the camp before opening for the summer, Mr. Stanley would come up from his Greenville office on Friday to inspect and discuss progress then stay overnight in the direc-tor’s cottage for their Saturday

morning work.On a particular Friday, build-

ers informed him that, since a number of workers would be attending a mason’s meeting, no work would be done on Saturday. While they were talking, a group of scouts arrived and Mr. Stanley told them to camp in one of the shelters near the old Gosnell cabin.

After the scouters left for the camp site, the head mason remarked that the old cabin was ‘hainted.’ Other workers agreed that

ghosts had been seen and heard around it.

Deciding not to stay at the director’s cottage that night, Mr. Stanley told the scouters he was returning to Greenville and that they would have the entire place to themselves.

On Monday morning, the scoutmaster of the troop showed up in Mr. Stanley’s office to tell him the group did not stay at camp on Friday night. At about

eight o’clock they were fright-ened by a strange groaning like a man in agony and a banging sound like a man kicking a wall. The sounds were coming from the cabin.

The scouts were too excited to get any sleep, so the decision was made to return home.

The following Friday, Mr. Stanley kept a close eye on all the workmen to determine if any of them showed any indications that they might have returned to the camp and scared the scouts for a lark. He discovered none.

That evening, after all the workmen had gone home, Mr. Stanley waited for twilight. He put on a dark jacket and cap and found his flashlight. Then, he locked the director’s cottage door with the lights still on and quietly slipped out the back door into the darkness.

The cabin was about one hundred yards away through woods. He slowly made his way up a familiar path and stopped

• 'Hainted'(ConTinueD from page 19)about twenty feet from the cabin. He crouched down with his flashlight ready to see if the ghost would walk that evening. His wait was short. As a slight breeze stirred the leaves ofthe trees overhead, he suddenly heard a spine-chilling groaning sound, fol-lowed by a sharp bang. The sounds repeated, and then, yet again.

Through an opening in the bushes, he carefully aimed his flashlight’s beam up the cabin wall from the ground to the roof top. He expected to see an owl, which can make strange noises on occasion. But he saw nothing. The

noises repeated. Whatever was making them was not deterred by the light.

He began moving the beam from side to side along the cabin wall in-stead of up and down. Suddenly, he was surprised to see a nailed shutter, hung on an old fashioned wooden hinge, slowly swing open, followed by a terrible groaning sound. When wide open, the shutter slammed shut with a bang, then with a longer, drawn-out groaning, opened again! Even though he related this finding to scouts at many campfires through intervening years, new campers especially could, seem-ingly, still hear old Luther groaning and kicking as long as the cabin remained on camp property.

Upcoming election already getting interestingTo the Editor:

As you can tell from recent letters to the editor it is getting to be that time again. The upcoming election is going to be interesting to say the least.

In the last few weeks I have been attacked in several letters to the editor. I will say that the majority of the accusations were either comments taken out of context, half truths, or complete lies.

It is a shame when we get to this point that we can’t have hon-est debate on a particular issue where both sides can state their case without resorting to distort-ing the facts or out and out lying. The facts are as follows and can be verified.

I have not made any public comments about the new DSS Building up to this point. Nor have I asked anyone to speak on my behalf.

The real issue is a difference of opinion between what the prior Board of Commissioners had planned for the new DSS and Mental Health building and what the current Board of Com-missioners see as the appropriate plan. This difference of opinion is not just based on location but also on the amount to spend for project.

The new Board of Commis-sioners has a much more elabo-rate building planned than what the prior board had envisioned. The change of plans by the new board regarding location and building type has caused delays and additional cost to the taxpay-ers of Polk County.

Do we need a new DSS Build-ing? Of course we do, and we started the process almost six years ago when I was a commis-sioner. But, we could not get a majority to approve anything until our last year in office and we agreed upon a site on Park Street. This site was recommended by the County Manager and staff.

Letter to the Editor The County Manager also had a retired Architect that is well qualified and respected through-out the community look at the property and agreed the property would work.

Did we pay too much as charged by Walker, McDermott and Gasperson for the property on Park Street? No, we instructed the County Manager to have the property appraised. The prop-erty was appraised at $112,500 by Frederick Placak, Jr. who is a state certified appraiser. We negotiated to buy the property for $95,000. To try to imply that it was worth only $22,916 because that was the tax value is ridicu-lous as it is over two acres of land inside Columbus Town limits.

Mr. Hardvall accuses me of being involved in illegal meet-ings as a commissioner in regards to the purchase of the Park Street property. This is not true. During all of these meetings the County Manager and County Attorney were present. They informed the commissioners of what could and could not be discussed.

I am sure the current majority of the Board of Commissioners trusts the County Manager as he is still employed by them. They must have also trusted the County Attorney as they kept him on board until his health prevented him from continuing as County Attorney.

At no time was I aware of or made aware by County Staff that there was any issue with being within 300 feet of the park for the Mental Health facility. If so, I would have not voted to pur-chase property on Park Street as we could not have used this site. I also was not aware of Sheriff Hill’s concerns until after the property was already purchased.

As a matter of fact, these two issues were first revealed at one of Commissioner Walker’s, McDermott’s and Gasperson’s meetings after I was no longer a sitting commissioner. So this begs the following questions to be asked. Why did Commis-

sioners Walker, McDermott and Gasperson vote to put the DSS building adjacent to the County Recreation Facility and Middle School knowing it could not include Mental Health?

The DSS building is going to cost close to $2 million and it is not going to have any space for Mental Health. What a waste of taxpayer money as the citizens know that building or acquir-ing two separate facilities and maintaining them is much more expensive than combining them into one.

Also why did Commission-ers Walker, McDermott and Gasperson not listen to Sheriff Hill’s concern about a public safety issue when they located the new DSS Building adjacent to the Recreation Park and Middle School?

Why did Commissioner Den-ton really vote against the Park Street property? He wanted

to buy a much larger piece of property that the county could not afford. There were also some questions as to whether it would be ethical in regards to buying the property Denton wanted.

Did we let the current DSS building boiler deteriorate be-yond repair? No, it was in poor shape when we came into office. We made repairs to keep the building where it could be used until a new facility was built. But we did not spend $50,000 only expecting it to last two years! That is taken out of context. We expected it to take two years to complete the new building and the repairs would cover us until the new building was complete.

Those heat pumps will last much longer. Otherwise ev-ery two years people would be replacing their heat pumps at home!

Did I vote to raise taxes when I first went into office? Yes, due to the fact the prior Board of Com-missioners had signed contracts and started construction on four

major projects (Transfer Station, Library, Middle School and Recreation Facility). They had borrowed the money and planned for the next board to raise taxes to pay the loan payments.

The County Manager recom-mended the amount of tax in-crease and we approved. It was a bad situation the prior board had left us with.

Did the four major projects go over budget? Yes, the prior board, in order to get the bids for the four projects to total what the LGC (Local Government Com-mission) said the county could borrow, cut necessary items from the projects. These items had to be added back to complete the projects.

As one example of many, the Recreation Facility used PARTF (Parks and Recreation Trust Fund) grant money to pay for part of the project. Some of the items required by the grant were left out of the original contract. We had to add those back in order to receive the grant money.

Other items that we had to add back to projects in order to complete included lighting for the ball fields, paving at the transfer station, furniture for the library, erosion control measures, and the list goes on and on. We had a mess on our hands trying to finish four major projects that were poorly planned.

Did I try for a tax cut before I left office? Yes, we were tak-ing in too much in revenues and needed to give some back to the citizens. I tried, but could get only two of the three votes needed for the tax cut.

We left office with too large of an unreserved fund balance. This enabled the current Board of Commissioners to pay off debt and claim it was their fi-nancial skills that allowed this to happen.

Did the current Board of Commissioners cut taxes as they claim? Depends on how you view a tax cut. If you view a tax

cut as the County receiving less money in tax revenues from real property taxes (taxes on land and buildings) from one year to the next, then definitely not! Just go to the County Finance office and look at the tax revenues from one year to the next and decide for yourself.

In closing, you need to look at the letters from Walker, McDer-mott, Gasperson and Hardvall again and I think you will see them for what they really are. They are propaganda letters trying to make Gasperson look good for re-election and all of his non-Democrat opponents look bad.

I stand by my record when I was a County Commissioner several years back. I made the

best decision possible with the facts that we had in front of us at the time. I talked often with the citizens of Polk County either in person or by phone to get their ideas on issues we faced as Com-missioners.

If any of the issues need fur-ther clarification, please call me and I will be happy to discuss them. This applies to any other issue that the county faces and you would like to know my position. My number is in the phone book.

I take the job of being a Coun-ty Commissioner seriously and understand the trust the people place in one they elect to serve. That is right, the commissioners serve the people, not the other way around.

If elected I promise to serve the people with honor and re-spect. I will spend people’s

money wisely. It is the people’s money and not the county’s money.

I will work to make the county government more efficient and cost effective, thus resulting in lowering your taxes. I will strive to lower your taxes enough that someone will not have to tell you that your taxes are lower. You will be able to see the difference when you receive your tax bill from the county.

I will also strive to reduce the intrusion into your lives by the county government. We are supposed to be a free people and don’t need the government watching everything that we do. The government should be there to help us when we need, but not overbearing as to trample our rights and freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution.

$ $ Letter to the Editor

‘Facts are stubborn things’To the Editor:

This quote by Ronald Reagan is the first thing I thought of when I saw Commissioners Gasperson, McDermott and Walker’s lengthy letter in the August 27 TDB jus-tifying their votes to approve the 32 percent over budget funding for grading the proposed DSS Building.

In this letter, they challenged a number of points I made in a Letter to the Editor on this subject the prior week. My points were based on three facts, as reported in the Bulletin, about comments made at the August 2 Board of Commissioners Meeting. All the explanations in the world don’t change these facts.

The first fact is that Cindy Walker said the original budget was just a “guesstimate,” which the Board should not be bound to work within. The second fact was Renee McDermott’s comment that we have needed a new DSS Building for 20 years and could

not delay the project another two months to re-bid it because they previously agreed to a schedule. And the third fact was the County Manager’s report that we reduced the grading cost to being $54,000 over budget (oops... over guessti-mate) by limiting the usefulness of the property for future growth by 50 percent.

These are facts. They are also positions I do not agree with, es-pecially if you are going to claim to be fiscally responsible. When the Board of Commissioners ap-proves a budget, they do so with the intention of operating within that budget, without knowing at that time what the formal project estimates will be. If a project then comes in over the budgeted esti-mate, there are two responsible courses of action they can take: re-spec and re-bid the project till it is within the budget, or cut something of lesser importance in the budget to cover the over-budgeted costs of that project.

A third option, going over budget by dipping into the coun-ty’s rainy day fund (our reserve) or spending money we don’t have, is not a fiscally responsible

decision. In their letter, Commission-

ers Gasperson, McDermott and Walker say that “governing of-ficials must ultimately deal in realities, in the real world, in what bids actually show.” In the real world, projects are adjusted to reflect what bids actually show, not just accepted as unavoidable overspending. Accepting over-budget spending is the kind of government thinking that has lead to a U.S. federal deficit of over $13 trillion.

This is our money they are spending folks, and I think the County Commissioners should be held accountable for how they vote to spend it. That’s why we have elections.

And yes, in response to the question asked by the three Com-missioners in their letter, I object-ed when a previous Board went over budget on the community campus project. But I guess they made the tough decisions in the process because our reserve grew during their term. How is the cur-rent Board doing in this regard? Facts are stubborn things!

Private property vs. ‘charm’There is such a contrast in views in the Thermal Belt

when it comes to community and property.Take the outcry over the construction of a Dollar Gen-

eral store in Tryon. No surprise that a national chain built a non-descript building. There is one element of our local population that believes, and we tend to agree with them, that Tryon would have been well served to have established ordinances which would have required Dollar General to build something with more “charm.”

However, defining in legal terms what features a new Tryon building needs to be thought of as “charming” is a daunting task. No doubt, had the new Dollar General been built according to strict “charm” codes, some would nonetheless now be calling the new building “ugly” and the charm code writers “stupid.” Welcome to public life.

That said, we still believe a community has a right to collectively express its wishes through elected officials using all applicable laws, even as regards what private citizens do with private properties. A letter writer points out that in Hilton Head, S.C., all fast food restaurants have been forced to blend into the beach town’s ambience. Hil-ton Head knew what it wanted and its citizens saw their wishes made law and their town made prosperous.

Certainly, if we had known what we wanted here, Dollar General would have, very likely, happily complied.

In Polk County, citizens have expressed their wishes through at least two surveys and a long public process of “vision” planning. Yet even so, you can hear in the pat-ter of the Republican candidates for the county board the firm notion that no community wishes, no matter how often expressed and written down, will ever trump private property rights if it comes down to it — and it will always come down to it. One can only wish there were some place to meet in the middle, shake hands and preserve Polk County’s particular ambience and charm. — JB


Smoking around children a form of child abuseTo the Editor:

My name isn’t important, but what I have to say is; our main goal in soci-ety is to protect our kids whether its from physical or mental abuse. This is a full time job and a priority. It’s very difficult to keep our kids safe.

Smoking around kids isn’t a good idea. When smoking was popular, millions of kids were exposed to second-hand smoke, whether they were in cars, homes or wherever a child might be. Even then most people would

not smoke near a child even when they were younger, it’s just something that shouldn’t be done anyway.

Smoking around children should be a legal form of child abuse. Children are brought

to the emergency room with serious breathing problems and allergies includ-ing asthma, which is caused by second-

hand smoke. Being exposed to these tox-

ins can and will double their chances of lung cancer including respiratory problems. This is an inexcusable action for anyone to put a child at risk just for their satisfaction.

– Vincent McCue

Charm is what people look for, not chain storesTo the Editor:

Although I have not lived in Tryon for 42 years, Tryon still feels like home to me. I do not visit as often as I used to, nor as often as I would like to. But, Tryon still holds and will always hold a special place in my heart. Unfortunately, when growing up there, I did not appreciate it like I do today.

My sister told me about the Dollar General store that was being built in Tryon, but until I saw it with my own eyes about two months ago, I had no idea of the “magnitude” of the structure. I envisioned a structure like Lan-drum’s: small, with a storefront amongst other buildings. But one Saturday, my husband and I were driving from Asheville, and I de-cided to drive through Tryon on our way back to Charlotte.

I had not told my husband about the new structure, and

when he saw it, well...I won’t tell you exactly what he said, but his feelings were pretty clear. The structure, a huge metal box, is particularly atrocious after driv-ing through Tryon, which is a pretty little southern town.

After crossing the railroad tracks...Bam. It hits you in the face like a bucket of cold water.

I read with interest the Letter to the Editor from Mayor J. Alan Peoples in the Aug. 17, 2010 Bulletin. I totally agree with him, he cannot do it alone; it takes the support and involvement of individuals caring enough to volunteer their time and energy for the betterment of the town. If I lived in Tryon, I would like to be a part of the planning and zoning committee, and I would willingly ask to serve on the Architectural Review Committee, as I currently sit on the homeowner’s board of directors in my community of Charlotte.

We are very strict about what can and cannot be built in our

community, and the Architectural Review Committee has made a difference.

If possible, I recommend the planning and zoning board adopt/implement criteria that all struc-tures submitted for approval must meet an “architecturally similar” look in order to be considered for approval. When I visited Hilton Head three years ago, it seems as though they have that requirement in place because even the “fast food chains” were in charming structures that gave a consistent look to the area.

I strongly believe this charm is what individuals look for when considering an area to make their home. I know I do.
