Residents push Tryon for moratorium Second special meeting called for tomorrow, 6:30 p.m. by Leah Justice

Some Tryon residents are urging Tryon Town Council to enact a moratorium on commercial development to give the town time to strengthen its ordinances.

But most council members said they were reluctant to enact a moratorium because of the negative connotations associated with a moratorium. Council held a special meeting Monday to consider a moratorium and decided to call a joint special meeting with the town's planning and zoning board tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. at the Tryon Fire Department. The special meeting was

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

called because of what was referred to on Monday as “the elephant in the room” – a business owner who has asked the town about building a car business at the corner of Chesnut and South Trade Streets. No permits for such a business have been turned into town, and no one seemed positive of what the business would be; (Continued on page 4)

according to Tryon’s Board of Planning and Zoning Chair John Walters. Walters said it was his impression that the business restores vehicles and was not necessarily an “in and out” business. (Continued on page 5)

• Moratorium (continued from page 4)

Most residents attending the meeting said a moratorium on commercial development is needed, some saying enough work on ordinances could be done in 60 to 90 days and others saying it would take up to eight months. “Our main street community concept is really in jeopardy,” said Mary Prioleau. “You can come up with what needs to be done in 60 to 90 days.” Joyce Kimpton told councilmen, “it’s time to move.” “Change things and change them for the better,” said Kimpton. “I’d hate to see Tryon change to Inman (SC) or Hendersonville (NC).” John Salmon suggested that the town could consider extending its central business district (CBD) down U.S. 176, or South Trade Street. The section from the railroad tracks to the state

line is zoned general business district (GBD) and is restricted differently than the CBD. A car business would not be allowed in the CBD, officials said Monday. “I think a break is necessary,” said Mark Byington. “A moratorium does give you that breathing room. I don’t want to be told again, gee, if we had just spoken earlier.” Byington was referring to the many residents who contacted town officials and published letters to the editor following the construction of the Dollar General on the other side of Chestnut Street. At the time, Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said more people need to be involved and come up with restrictions for development. Some residents and council members said they don’t think a moratorium is necessary. Councilman Austin Chapman was the only elected official who seemed in favor of a mora-

torium. Jim Ott said a moratorium was not a good idea. Carl Caudle asked the town why work on ordinances hasn’t been done before. “A moratorium also stops a lot of good things,” Caudle said. Councilman Roy Miller said he’s against a moratorium because the town could make it so restrictive that other businesses won’t come to Tryon. “We’re also going after one business and I don’t think that’s appropriate,” Miller said. Councilman Doug Arbogast said he is also not in favor of a moratorium. “If things do begin to turn around in the world, we’re slamming the door on them,” Arbogast said. “We need all the revenue the town can get. I don’t think you want to stop people from looking our direction.” Miller also said the town

has been moving. A survey is available online for people to give their opinions on commercial development and the town also held a public input session to hear from residents 13 days ago. And within six days of the public input meeting, a special meeting was called. Councilman Wim Woody was out of town Monday. Tomorrow’s meeting will be for council and the planning and zoning board to discuss what path the town wants to take to strengthen its ordinances pertaining to commercial development that will include discussions on a possible moratorium, the possibility of extending the town’s CDB zoning and creating and/or creating an overlay district in the GBD. Prior to the meeting, officials and residents were asked to gather other towns’ ordinances to see what others have done who have accomplished what Tryon wants to do.

foster care services are implemented.” The report explains that a combination of factors usually leads to the placement of a child in foster care, including parental substance abuse or mental illness; domestic violence between the parents or caretakers; physical, sexual or emotional abuse of the child; failure to provide a minimal standard of care which leads to neglect of the child; illness or death of a parent and abandonment. “Foster care is a familyfocused service that is timelimited, goal-oriented and is intended to be a temporary arrangement for children,” states the report. “The goal for every child who enters foster care is a safe, permanent home as soon as possible, whether that means reunification with the birth family, custody or guardianship with relatives or kin, or adoption.” The report says that the number of Polk County children in foster care varies, but usually there are around 33 children who are in legal custody, the responsibility of the Polk County DSS. There were 18 individuals and families in Polk County during fiscal year 2009-2010 who were seeking to adopt children, and 10 children were adopted during the year. All those children were adopted by their foster families. The report says five adoptions were processed for stepparent, relative and independent placements. DSS also handles adult protective services, which includes help to disabled adults or disabled emancipated minors who are reported to be abused, (Continued on page 7)

Activities for child protective services include completing an evaluation to determine the need for initial or continued placement; helping the individual’s families in locating and securing placement in a suitable setting and level of care and suporting an individual/ family in the transition from one location to another and in maintaining the placement.

The “Do It Yourself” Messiah, a community sing-along to be held at Tryon Fine Arts Center on Thursday, December 2 at 7:30 p.m., will be conducted by a newcomer to Tryon – Mark Schweizer. Schweizer and his violinist wife, Donis, moved here a few years ago from Kentucky, where he was a church choir director and director of St. James Music Press, which he founded in 1988. Many of Mark’s compositions can be found in the catalog that specializes in liturgical choral music and provides music to almost 9,000 churches worldwide. Not only does Schweizer compose music, he writes highly acclaimed mystery novels, which began as an outgrowth of humorous choir newsletters he produced over the years. Some of the titles are “The Alto Wore Tweed,” “The Baritone Wore Chiffon,” and “The Tenor Wore Tapshoes,” and can be found locally at The Book Shelf. His writing and wry sense of humor can also be found in the classical music section of “Faking It: How to Seem Like a Better Person Without Actually Improving Yourself” from the writers of Collegehumor. com and published by the New American Library. Schweizer is a native of Florida and a graduate of Stetson University and the University of Arizona, where he received a doctorate in vocal performance. He has taught

tected on the road, the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Governor’s Highway Safety Program offers several programs that give parents, teachers and teens the tools and resources needed to be aware of safe driving practices. The department also produced a video featuring Beth Parsons. Parsons is a driver education instructor at N.B. Broughton High School in Raleigh. The video can be found on NCDOT’s YouTube page. While road safety is important for all motorists, it is particularly crucial for new drivers. For many teens, the

Parsons uses a variety of creative teaching methods to emphasize the importance of safe driving. Guest speakers such as police officers and motorcycle safety advocates echo the importance of cautious driving. Parsons tells guardians of her students that to set a good example, you have to be a good example. That means wearing a seat belt, going the speed limit and not texting while driving.

TLT purchases wireless mikes with donation from PCCF Tryon Little Theater recently received a donation through the Polk County Community Foundation Unrestricted Grant Fund to purchase seven wireless microphones for use in its productions. With a grant awarded earlier this summer from the Carolina Foothills chamber of commerce, this gives the theater a total of ten new mics. “The wireless microphones are an

important component of the whole theater experience and can add so much to the audience enjoyment of a show,” says Susan Kocher, past president of TLT. “There are many expenses when it comes to putting on a particular play or musical, from set pieces to costumes to special backdrops, etc., but the microphones will be used again and again in many different shows, enhanc-

ing the quality and professionalism of our productions.” The Kirby Fund has been an ongoing supporter of the annual Summer Youth Theater program, and the Arthur M. and Frances H. Wilhelm Fund has also supported the youth theater. “The TLT family is thrilled to be awarded these grants, and with their help will continue to promote talent and artistic growth by

reaching out to the youngsters in this area,” Kocher says. TLT is funded through ticket revenue, sponsorship, private donations, and grants—and serves the community, both adult and youth, by providing a quality theater production experience.

Barks & Bows is back Dec. 1 The Farmhouse in Landrum is again holding its Farmhouse bow-making classes as a fundraiser for the spay/neuter programs at Foothills Humane Society. The classes, complete with wine and dessert, will be held on three Wednesday evenings, December 1, 8 and 15 at 6:30 p.m. The Farmhouse suggests that you reserve your spot at the clinic early as last year’s classes sold out. To reserve a place, call the Farmhouse at 864-457-3557. A donation of $35 will pay to neuter one dog. “Spayed and neutered animals live longer, healthier lives. They wander less, fight less, and bite less,” according to Foothills adoption coordinator Angie Yates. “They are more trainable and obedient and don’t ‘spray’ their territory and have unpleasant heat periods. They just make better citizens and pets. And they still are good mousers and hunters.” Unaltered animals are responsible for the exploding animal overpopulation. In the U.S., seven puppies and kittens are born for every human being. American shelters kill approximately 4 to 5 million of the unwanted animals each year at a cost to the taxpayer of over $2,000,000,000 (yes, two billion dollars) each year. All animals placed by Foothills are altered. Foothills also provides financial assistance for

those owners who need financial help in altering their pet, and a trap/neuter/return program for “free roaming” community cats. Together, more than 2,100 animals are fixed each year through Foothills. Since an adult female cat or dog can produce 20 offspring each year, prevented births over the lifetime of these animals would be in the thousands. Adding births by their female offspring as well, the numbers multiply exponentially, resulting in a tragic situation. Barks & Bows organizer Noreen Cothran is a long time proponent of spay/neuter programs, and also organizes the annual Blue Ridge Hunter Jumper Association’s Annual Spay/Neuter Dinner benefiting spay/neuter efforts in Polk and Rutherford counties. Her mother, Pat Lehner, was a longtime member of the Foothills Humane Society board of directors in the 1980s, and ran an annual benefit horseshow at the Flying Dutchman Farm to raise money for the animals. “My sister and I used to come in from out of state to help our Mom,” recalls Cothran. “We started at 3 a.m. to cook turkeys and make sandwiches to sell for lunches. What wonderful memories I have of that time together.” – article submitted

Summer 2011 state government internship applications available North Carolina residents attending a college, university, technical institute or community college have until January 12, 2011, to apply for one of up to 65 paid state government internships available for summer 2011. The State Government Internship Program offers students realworld experience in a wide range of state government workplaces. Internships provide opportunities for students to work in their chosen field and to consider careers in public service. More than 2,800 students have participated since the program was established in 1969. Paid summer internships are available in locations across the state. They provide North Carolina students with a compensated professional work experience that integrates education, career development and public service. Opportunities exist in numerous recognized fields of study, from architecture to zoology. Most interns earn a stipend of $8.25 per hour and work 40 hours per week for 10 weeks in the summer. This summer, the State Government Internship Program is offering positions funded by the N.C. Student Energy Internship and Fellowship Program. Administered by State Energy Office of the N.C. Department of Commerce, the Energy Internships are focused on green, energy-efficient technology and energy conservation for North Carolina. Interns working on Energy Internship projects will be paid $10 per hour, as required by the Student Energy Internship and Fellowship Program, and will work 11 weeks in the summer.

All internships will begin on May 23, 2011. Interns also participate in seminars, tours or other activities designed to broaden their perspective of public service and state government. To be eligible for the program, a student must be a permanent North Carolina resident with an overall grade-point average of 2.5 or better on a 4.0 scale, and graduated from high school and subsequently completed their sophomore year of college before beginning the internship. Community college students must complete at least their first year before beginning the internship. Applicants must be continuing their education in the fall following their participation in the program. To qualify for a position designated for law interns, a student must be completing at least one year of law school. Interns are selected through a competitive process overseen by the N.C. Internship Council. Selection is based on a review of applications by the council, student interviews with prospective supervisors, academic records, participation in extracurricular activities and interest in state government. Details about the program and a listing of summer 2011 internships are available by visiting its website at www.doa.nc.gov/yaio/ summerinternprogramdetails.htm or by calling the Youth Advocacy and Involvement Office in the N.C. Department of Administration at 919-807-4400. Information also is available in campus career services or cooperative education offices. – article submitted

A couple of years ago (November 2008) my friend John visited us here at Birdland from his home near Montgomery, AL. Millbrook, the little town where he and his wife settled, is very near the larger city of Montgomery. He came for a week-end of watching football, playing cribbage, and enjoying our mountain area. When the afternoon game was over, we grilled steaks and had dinner. I asked if he wanted to play cards or a board game. Instead, he wanted to venture out on the crisp autumn Conversations Sunday afternight to “find a from Birdland noon.

to five million barrels of oil per day used to produce lighting in the country, approximately 2 million of those barrels are actually producing “over illumination” (or unnecessary light). Glare from too much light has implications for dangerous situations, especially for older citizens and nighttime driving. Of the several types of light pollution the one I dislike most is “skyglow,” the appearance of a glow around populated areas caused by reflected over illumination. This effect reduces contrast and interferes with the ability to see into the depths of space. There are numerous studies that suggest that there are medical consequences to the phenomenon of light pollution also. These include, but are not limited to: headaches, fatigue, stress, risk of breast cancer, reduction of the production of melatonin, sleeplessness, and anxiety. In 1988 a group headed by engineers and astronomers founded the International DarkSky Association. Their stated purpose is to protect and restore our skies to cleaner levels through education and the use of more efficient systems of illumination. There are over 5,000 members in this organization in 70+ countries. As I write this, I recall just last night driving home from the market and seeing a proliferation of Christmas lights springing up all over the area where we live. Talk about over illumination!! Oh, well, there’s always a drive to Pearson Falls Road. Don Weathington is a retired psychotherapist and business owner who lives in Gillette Woods at a place called Birdland.
