Polk applies for grant to get water to proposed restaurant in Green Creek by Leah Justice

Polk commissioners have agreed to apply for a grant to help get water to a planned restaurant in Green Creek at the former Hwy. 9 location of Crossroads Restaurant, which burned about two years ago. Commissioners agreed unanimously on Monday to apply for a N.C. Rural Center grant to pay for half of the

estimated $40,000 to $50,000 it would take to extend a water line in the area. The N.C. Rural Center grant is a 50/50 match that is based on job creation. A restaurant would create a sufficient number of new jobs and qualifies for the grant funding, county officials said. Commissioner vice-chairman Ray Gasperson suggested

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

the county apply for the grant. He introduced Jason Schlabach, who is planning the restaurant. “[The proposed restaurant is] wonderful news, especially for the Green Creek/Sandy Plains community,” Gasperson said. “What is being planned fits beautifully with the Vision 20/20 plan.” (Continued on page 5)

Tryon and the Foothills have long been known for a rich artistic tradition, as well as for their many active vineyards during the early part of the twentieth century. Now, the area’s viticulture has been renewed, and the Foothills Equestrian Nature Center invites everyone to celebrate these two legacies Sunday, Oct. 10 from 1 to 6 p.m. at Derbyshire in Tryon. The FENCE Wine & Art Festival offers an afternoon of wine tastings and exhibits of fine art in the elegant surroundings of Derbyshire, a planned community in the tradition of the English countryside. Proceeds from this event benefit FENCE’s community service in nature education and outdoor recreation.

Gasperson said since the Crossroads restaurant burned, people in the area have lost their meeting place. He also said the county’s Vision 20/20 pinpoints that location as prime for development. The county’s main water line runs through the crossroads in Green Creek at Hwy. 9. The proposed restaurant site is on Hwy. 9 north of that crossroads. C o m m i s s i o n e r To m m y Melton suggested if the county is going to extend the water line, it should go ahead and take that line to the Peniel Road intersection along Hwy. 9. “Since we’ll get the line halfway there already, I’d like to see it go all the way to Peniel Road,” Melton said. Commissioner Renée McDermott said it doesn’t sound like the county would have enough money to fund an extension further than the restaurant. County manager Ryan Whitson said he won’t know until estimates are in how much running the line to Peniel Road would cost, but the county could take the extra money out of its general fund. Whitson also said he has concerns that the county’s fund balance is getting too high following a preliminary report from auditors that Polk could have an estimated $700,000 left over from last fiscal year’s budget. The county currently has about $21,000 in its budget for water line extensions. Commissioners asked Schlabach to come to the next meeting with information about how much the developer could contribute for the extension. The county’s Economic Development Commission has also agreed to pay $1,000 towards the costs of the water line extension. Commissioners expressed interest in this project saying it would be good for the Green Creek community as well as

the job creation. Schlabach said he has been working on the plans for the restaurant for about a year and is currently working out septic requirements with the state. The plan is for the restaurant to have 120 seats divided between a restaurant and a coffee/ bakery area, with 100 seats on the left side in the restaurant area and another 20 on the right side in the coffee and bakery area. Plans also include a meeting room. Future plans call for other buildings on the property to be used as shops, Schlabach said. The grant application, being completed by the Isothermal Planning and Development Commission, is due Nov. 5. Awards are expected to be announced in mid-December.

Cyclist visits Landrum, Tryon on Florida-to-Montana journey by Leah Justice

A cyclist from California recently stopped in Landrum and Tryon on a journey from Florida to Montana. John Dyes said he started in Daytona, Fla., in early July and traveled through Georgia to make his way to the Carolinas, which he says he always wanted to visit. Dyes says while in Landrum he spent the night with Landrum Mayor Bob Briggs, who offered his home after meeting him in Zenzera Coffee & Wine Bar, which Briggs’ wife owns. Dyes says he loves to stop in small towns and visit coffee shops and restaurants and meet local people. He normally finds campgrounds on his route to stay

and after a week or so will stay in a hotel for a rest. Dyes is from California, where he was recently laid off from his job as a mechanic. He said he had always wanted to travel across the country and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. He rode a train and had his bike shipped to him in Florida. He plans to ride through the winter and end his journey in Montana, where he says he will catch a train and go back to California. He had no expectations of when he might arrive in Montana, but on average he says he is traveling eight to nine hours per day, about 50 to 60 miles per day. He left downtown Tryon headed up Hwy. 176, with his next stop planned in Asheville.

October means local greens Come October, some locally grown vegetables disappear from farmers markets and grocery store shelves. Not greens! From beet greens to chard and collards to kale, many types are available now and promise freshness and color into the winter. In honor of the abundance, Appalachian Sustainable Agriculture Project (ASAP) is featuring greens for the month of October in its Get Local initiative. A yearround component of ASAP’s Local Food Campaign, Get Local brings together farmers, restaurateurs, chefs, and community members from around the region in celebration of a featured local food. Because each local item is widely

available during the month, participating restaurants and eateries can easily find and use the ingredient to create unique seasonal dishes. And, everyone can try out recipes of their own at home. Find a list of participating restaurants, as well as more information about the initiative, on the Get Local page of asapconnections.org. Search for roadside farm stands, groceries, and tailgate markets with a sea of greens to offer in ASAP’s Local Food Guide, online at buyappalachian.org. If you’re a chef or restaurant interested in participating, contact marketing coordinator Lee Seabrook at lee@asapconnections. org. – article submitted

First annual Farm to Fork Supper The Mill Spring Agricultural Economic Development Center will be hosting its first annual Farm to Fork Supper and Open House on October 23. The evening will celebrate agriculture in Polk County starting with an open house tour of the new center at 5 p.m. Come and see the transformation that is taking place at the former Mill Spring School as the staff repaints and refurbishes but tries to maintain the unique character of this historic building. There will be InFARMation stations to visit where local farmers will be available to talk with you and let you know what they have to offer. Supper will be prepared with fresh and local ingredients and will start at 6 p.m. under the cascading magnolia tree in the front yard, complete with candlelight. Local musicians include the renowned Jenna Lindbo and old-time and celtic music with a classical twist from John Mal-

loy, Annie Ewing, and Whitney Blake. After supper you will have chances to win the 50/50 raffle or bid on auction items such as a restaurant dinner for two. Tickets are being sold at Manna Cabanna in Saluda, Kathleen’s Gallery in Tryon, the First Peak of the Blue Ridge Travel and Tourism Center, and the Soil and Water Conservation District in Columbus. Proceeds benefit the restoration of the former Mill Spring School. October 23 will be an opportunity for the community to come together in support of the people who feed us. Organizers are asking guests to bring your own unique dinner plate that you are willing to leave behind for the Ag Center to use for future events. For more information, or to donate farm foods or auction items, contact Carol Lynn Jackson at 828-817-2308 or caroljackson@tds.net. – article submitted

Spartanburg Youth! Theatre presents ‘Robin Hood’ Oct. 8, 9 The classic adventure story gets a Monty Pythonesque twist Spartanburg Youth! Theatre kicks off its 2010-2011 season with “The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood” on October 8 at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and on October 9 at 2 p.m. This time around, the legendary legend, in his never-ending quest to aid the needy, encounters a lovely damsel-in-distress (oddly obsessed with skin conditions); an ever-scheming sheriff who would rather bowl a strike than hit a bulls eye; a goldhoarding, bad-guy monarch wannabe; and a good-natured “Town’s Guy” who manages to make his way into every scene, whether he belongs there or not. Combine them with an expandable band of spoon-wielding

Merry Men whose collective IQs equal six, and you’ve got an irreverent jaunt through Sherwood Forest you won’t soon forget. This play is the first in a four show production season for the Spartanburg Youth! Theatre, which will include “The Somewhat True Tale of Robin Hood,” “A Christmas Carol,” “Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse,” and “Sleeping Beauty.” Season tickets for the Spartanburg Youth! Theatre are available. Performance dates are October 8 at 4:30 and 7 p.m. and October 9 at 2 p.m. All performances take place at the David W. Reid Theatre in the Chapman Cultural Center. Tickets can be purchased by calling 864-542-2787. Call the Youth! Theatre office at 864585-8278 for more information. – article submitted

Article 9: IRS Required 990 Report As the nonprofit Leadership column continues the series on Management and Fiscal Accountability for Nonprofits, this article will focus on the importance of the annual IRS required 990 report. The IRS form 990 is the most commonly used form for evaluating the credibility of a nonprofit organization. It is, however, rarely used as an evaluation tool. Most 990’s are often signed and mailed without even being reviewed or seen by the board of directors at the organization. It is extremely important for the nonprofit organization to make sure and file the 990 on time. The 990 should be filed by the 15th of fifth month after the end of your organization’s fiscal year. Organizations needing more time can get a six month extension, but you must also file for the extension before the due date. Late filing of the 990 is subject to a penalty of $20 per day up to maximum of $10,000 (less than $1 million in operations annually) or $50 per day up to $50,000 (over $1 million in operations annually). Additional fines or imprisonment for fraud can be acquired if the organization is found to be willingly not filing the 990. Two years ago the 990 form had a major facelift. After a

year of public comment the IRS rolled out the new 990 form. It incorporated many changes focusing on overall governance within the nonprofit organization. Some of the most noticeable changes included; the first page is a summary page of key numbers and ratios, greater focus on non-cash contributions, shorter core form, and more schedules Additionally every nonprofit regardless of size is now required to file a form. Nonprofits now either have to file the complete 990 or the small shorter version which is referred to as the postcard for smaller organizations. Governance changes to the 990 included many questions. If the organization has a conflict of interest policy, and if so, the number of transactions reviewed by the governing body under the conflict policy during the past year. If the organization has a written policy on document retention and destruction and if board members review the IRS Form 990 before it is filed. The next several articles will continue to focus on finances and accounting. of moral crisis preserve their neutrality.” – Robert F.

In most cases, the scammers take your money and you never get a credit card.

I then thought came to me for all kinds of isabout all those fathers who sues - physical and otherwise. didn’t make it home to see their They still do. I am proud to be children and the children who there for them and to do whatever I can to be their friend. It is never knew their fathers.

On the first day that I went of PTSD. I encouraged many to the unit where we served of them to seek help at the together, Phillip approached VA. Most didn’t initially, but me and said: “I hear you’re a now several are in treatment conscientious objector. Well, for PTSD.

imately 2 million persons. Obviously many have served more than one tour; some have served several. Rand says that 20% of returnees have symptoms of PTSD. An additional 19% likely have traumatic brain injury (TBI). And still another 7% report mixed symptoms of both PTSD and TBI. In case your math skills are rusty, that’s 46%, close to a million returnees who will need assistance. Rand estimates the cost of serving their needs at $6.2 billion. This will stretch the resources of the VA system. Finding treatment nearby will be impossible in many cases. The impact on the returning soldiers and their families will be great - overwhelming financial difficulties, adjustment factors, unemployability, alcohol/drug abuse, managing the ups and downs associated with the disorders and that rage. Veteran suicide rates have risen drastically in the past 5 years. We will hear a lot about this in the coming years. Most of our soldiers want to come home. Unfortunately it’s not as rosy a picture when they actually get here. Don Weathington is a retired psychotherapist and business owner who lives in Gillette Woods at a place called Birdland.

written about the lust for blood? The desire for war? For thousands of years some men brought up their sons to look forward to going to war, with the words “courage,” etc. One man told me very proudly, “My family have been warriors for over 700 years.” They write about “the exhilaration you feel, just before going into battle.” Is that not the carnal instinct a lion feels moving in for the kill? Think about that exhilaration and what it means. And of course the vas merchandising of violence and killing by the motion

picture industry. They are simply filling a demand that was already there. There is a percentage of men who are not brought up that way: educators, doctors, most farmers. So let’s try to aim our next generation of men into being of service to mankind. Where true happiness lies. Abdul Baha, son of the founder of the Bahai faith said: “It will take three generations to breed out the love of war in some men.” How do we breed out the love of war? Go to your holy books. I believe you will find the answers. – Ron Mosseller

Letter to the Editor

How do we breed out the love of war? To the Editor: I have just read a magazine, “Military Quarterly History.” When one reads article after article on battles and warriors, it makes me think: What kind of minds enjoy these stories? Throughout history men have written about valor, courage, bravery of its participants, but when have they

To the Editor: I will again try to address Mr. Hardvall’s concerns. I think most citizens understand my previous explanations but I will try to clarify the issues further for Mr. Hardvall. Mr. Hardvall again does not seem to understand why the four projects we inherited from the prior board went over budget. The prior board had a target of $21,000,000 to spend on these four projects. This was all that the LGC said the county could borrow at that time. They were in a rush to sign all contracts for these projects before the new board was seated. To get to the $21,000,000 figure they had to cut necessary items out of these contracts. We were forced to add these items back and pay for them out of county revenues because the prior board had borrowed the LGC’s limit for Polk County. If we had not added these back the library would not have had furniture, ballfields at the recreation park would not have lighting, trucks at the transfer station would not have access to lower level to haul out trash dumped there and Laughter Pond would be filled in with silt from the erosion at the new middle school and recreation park. These are just some of the problems. I could go on and on, but you get the point. The issue on whether the current site that the board of commissioners is building the DSS building or the site where we had planned on Park Street is a difference of opinion. I believe the Park Street site to be the best for the citizens in cost and accessibility. Apparently so did the county manager as he was the one that found the property on Park Street and recommended it to the board. I would say that a one story is more expensive than a two story building containing the same square footage. A two story building takes less grading, less roofing, less foundation, etc…. Mr. Hardvall tries to confuse the issue further by now including the price of the building and property we purchased for the senior center to come up with $1,300,000. Not sure why this is? I don’t know who Mr. Hardvall spoke with that could have purchased the Park Street property for $75,000

Wednesday, October 06, 2010

at the same time we were looking at the property. No names, just a claim by Mr. Hardvall. I have a copy of the listing from the realtor showing the $115,000 asking price. If he or anyone else would like to see they can contact me or the county manager. This listing is dated 5/8/08. If Mr. Hardvall had read all of the closed session minutes he would see on 10/6/08 the county’s initial offer was $70,000. Maybe Mr. Hardvall left this out to twist the facts to his liking? Again Mr. Hardvall is not correct on what was or was not discussed in closed session. We discussed which properties we had available and what we could offer on each to fit within a budget number that we had agreed upon. Common sense only tells you that you don’t discuss what you will offer initially and the highest you would go in open session. As the seller would know and hold out for the higher amount. As far as the timing of the release of closed session minutes this is up to the current board. They could have released these as soon as they went into office. Maybe there was a plan as to when these would be released? You will need to address this with the current board. I think if Mr. Hardvall would be honest, he would see that the new board of commissioners has been in closed session on numerous occasions for acquisition of property. They have conducted business no differently than the previous board. This is evident in the closed session minutes from 1/5/09 when the Park Street property was discussed in closed session by Walker, Watson, Gasperson, McDermott and Melton. One current item Mr. Hardvall has forgotten to mention is that the current Bbard of Walker, McDermott, Gasperson, Melton and Watson are buying property with an existing building inside of Columbus for mental health. This property was rezoned on 9/16/10 by Columbus for this specific purpose. Mr. Hardvall, why has the current board not discussed this in their public meetings? I noticed they have had several closed sessions for acquisition of property. Could they be hiding deals like Mr. Hardvall accused us of doing? (Continued on page 23)

Tryon Arts and Crafts presents 3rd Annual Fall Festival Tryon Arts and Crafts will present the 3rd Annual Fall Festival on October 16 and 17. The festival will be open to the public Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Featuring more than 40 of the finest artisans and craftspeople of the region, this two-day event will be held rain or shine on the grounds of Tryon Arts and Crafts located at 373 Harmon Field Road. In addition to shopping for handmade, one-ofa-kind arts and crafts, visitors will enjoy food from local eateries, live entertainment and fun for the kids. Guests will hear a great music lineup on the stage that includes the Shane Pruitt Band, Dana and Susan Robinson, Bradley Ditto, and the Red Hot Sugar Babies and will experience the entertainment of Thee Inner Cirkus performance troupe. Visitors at the event will see demonstrations in a variety of

crafts throughout both days. This year, the festival will have work on display from artists all across the region with a huge selection of items that vary in style, media and price. In addition to the artists’ booths, Tryon Arts and Crafts will have student work for sale and a tent for work created by weavers and fiber artists. Tryon Little Theater, Tryon Painters and Sculptors, Tryon Fine Arts Center, Children’s Theater Festival, and the Tryon Doll Makers have each been invited to have a booth. Artists and organizations will present works in everything from pottery to jewelry, handmade soaps to watercolors, wooden crafts to woven blankets, photography to leatherwork and more. Tryon Arts and Crafts will have a large demonstration area for numerous crafts and methods, and several artists will demonstrate

their talents in their own booths. Visitors at the event will see pottery making, lapidary, jewelry making, woodturning, weaving, as well as metalworking in the forge throughout both days. Some demonstrators will offer guests the chance to try the crafts for themselves. Music lovers will be treated to the sounds of some regional music. Saturday afternoon, the Shane Pruitt Band from Spartanburg, S.C., will perform and the Red Hot Sugar Babies from Hendersonville, N.C., will close the day. Sunday afternoon, festival-goers will enjoy music from Bradley Ditto of Tryon, and Susan

$18,555,813 with expenditures at $18,555,035 for the county. This was before adding the new debt payments of over $2,000,000 per year starting the next year and additional costs to complete the poorly planned projects from the prior board. Any board of commissioners facing these circumstances would have to raise taxes or if they did not raise taxes they would have to cut county services to the point they were non existent. We did both to minimize the tax increase, we raised taxes and made cuts to some departments. In contrast to this, we did purchase the property and building for the senior center and a separate piece of property for DSS/mental health. General fund revenues were almost $23,034,670 for the county with expenditures at $20,083,677. We also left the current board with over $7,000,000 in unreserved fund balance and growing. Unreserved Fund Balance is the county’s savings account. The money is not needed to fund the current budget. This is why the current board could afford to pay for these without raising taxes. In fact, this is why the current board has been able to pay off debt. We did not leave them in a bad financial situation like the board prior to ours

did to us. During my time on the board of commissioners, I was normally in the minority. During the last year as a commissioner, I could see that the county was taking in too much money from the citizens in the form of taxes due to the growth of the tax base over the last couple of years. I believe the above paragraphs point that out very clearly. We started out during our time on the board as not having enough revenue to pay our debt to having too much revenue. Ted Owens and I tried for a tax cut. It was a small cut but we were hoping to get another commissioner to go along with us as were the minority position on the board. The tax cut was voted down by the other three commissioners. Mr. Hardvall fails to mention this small point in his article. Mr. Hardvall also claims that the current board of commissioners cut your property taxes. He tries to confuse you with including vehicle taxes. Everyone knows that vehicles depreciate in value each year. During a recession people do not buy as many new cars and the county’s vehicle tax revenue is going to naturally go down. This is why you look at real property tax revenue to see if you got a tax break or not.

(continued from page 22)

Again Mr. Hardvall explain how having two separate buildings, one for mental health and the other for DSS, is more cost effective than what our board had planned of both services in one building on Park Street. As far as citizens input I am really a little confused. When I was chairman of the board of commissioners six years ago, I was blasted for the meetings going too long. I let the citizens have ample time to comment and would not cut them short. So now I am being blasted by Mr. Hardvall for not listening to the citizens? Remember during my last three years as commissioner I was not chairman and citizen input at the meeting was not controlled by me. Mr. Hardvall’s comparison of us raising taxes when we first came into office versus the current board not raising taxes is not a fair comparison. When we came into office the prior board had borrowed $21,000,000 with intentions on raising taxes the following year to cover the debt payments on the loan. At that time general fund revenues totaled around

By looking at the previous (before revaluation) real property revenue versus the current (after revaluation) Real Property revenue you will see a 3 percent increase in tax revenue. Even if you do as Mr. Hardvall says and include vehicle taxes, you still get a 1 percent increase in revenue. Where is the tax cut from the current board, Mr. Hardvall? Again I used the information straight from the Polk County government offices and the state website for county finances both of which are available to anyone. I have tried to respond to Mr. Hardvall’s accusations in a accurate and truthful manner. If I were a citizen of Polk County and planned on voting this fall, I would get the facts for myself and verify what I have stated above with the county office and the State website. It is obvious that Mr. Hardvall is not trying to bring out the truth. He is only twisting the facts to fit the tale that he tells. Everyone is more than aware that Mr. Hardvall is a Democrat operative from the local Democrat Party’s inner circle. Just ask Mr. McFalls. They will stop at nothing to win this election. Let’s have an honest debate of the issues and stop the nonsense. – Tom Pack
