New Polk chair could break tradition New commissioners, sheriff to be sworn in at meeting tonight by Leah Justice
Many residents began speculating weeks ago as to whether Polk commissioners will break a long-standing tradition of appointing the high voter getter as chairman. Newly elected county commissioners Ted Owens (R), who
was the high vote getter last month, Ray Gasperson (D) and Tom Pack (R) will be sworn in tonight along with Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill. Polk County has most years appointed the high vote getter as chair of the board of commissioners. This year could be different, though, because Democrats hold a majority on the board. Commissioners and commissioner elects received a petition last week from some Saluda
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
residents urging the board to stick with tradition. “We the undersigned understand that the Polk County Board of Commissioners has followed a tradition for some time of appointing the commissioner with the highest number of votes received in the latest election, as the chairman of the commission,” stated the petition signed by six Saluda residents.

Animals on a Toy Run In addition to the many stuffed animals brought by the hundreds of motorcyclists who participated in the Polk County Toy Run last Saturday, one cyclist brought a live bird (below), although it was not donated as a gift. The annual Toy Run donates toys and raises funds for the needy, which are distributed throughout the county by the Polk County Department of Social Services, Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry and Steps To HOPE. Motorcyclists began in Saluda and rode through Tryon, Landrum and around to Mill Spring and ended up dropping off toys at the Polk County Courthouse. (photos by Leah Justice)

• Polk chair (continued from page 1)
“We also understand by rumor that this tradition, for some reason, will not be honored for the current appointment. We request that this time-honored tradition be followed for the appointment of chairman at the next scheduled Polk County Board of Commissioner’s meeting.” Following the 2006 election, Owens and Pack, both Republicans, did not vote for the top vote getter, Tommy Melton, then a Democrat. Melton went on to be appointed chair by gaining three votes, one from himself, one from then-Democrat Warren Watson and one from Republican Harry Denton. Denton said at the time he felt he should do the right thing and vote for the
high vote getter. Pack was appointed vicechair in 2006, with votes from himself, Owens and Denton. Melton and Watson later changed their party to Unaffiliated, and both lost in this year’s election. The current chair is Cindy Walker (D), who has held the position for two years but could step down tonight. Gasperson currently holds the vice-chair position and was the only incumbent to retain his seat this year. Commissioner Renée McDermott (D) also holds a seat. Owens and Gasperson each won four-year terms on the board last month. Owens won by 205 votes over Gasperson for the top vote-getter, with 3,630 and 3,425 votes respectively. Pack won a two-year term, being just 36 votes behind Gasper-
son with 3,389 votes. Owens was the top vote getter in five of Polk’s seven precincts. The current board of commissioners, which includes Melton, Gasperson, McDermott, Walker and Watson will open the meeting tonight to handle a couple of minor items of business along with outgoing speeches and plaques. The new board will then take over after the swearing-in ceremony and choose a chair and vice-chair. Another appointment to be made tonight is county attorney. The current attorney, Mike Egan, has served the past several months on an interim basis. The new board will vote on whether to appoint Egan as the permanent attorney. The board of commissioners meeting begins at 7 p.m. in the upstairs meeting room of the Womack Building in

Smoke billowed out of the shattered windows of a gray two story duplex located at 180 Pacolet Street in Tryon around 4 p.m. Dec. 3. Dispatchers received an initial call that the home was on fire at 3:29 p.m. Resident Mark Reeves, who lived in the right section of the home, said he pulled up just in time to see smoke begin to seep out of the house. “I came home and not two minutes later saw smoke, so
I went back to my truck and grabbed my fire extinguisher but when I tried to go upstairs the smoke and the fumes were just so strong, I had to stop.” Initial reports from Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis indicate the fire started in the left side of the home, where three rooms received the majority of the damage. He said there is possible smoke damage in the right por(Continued on page 9)

opinions on how to better protect commercial disticts. The public input meeting followed public outcry about the appearance and size of a new Dollar General, recently constructed adjacent to Chestnut Street on the same lot as the old Sunny Dale’s restaurant that is being restored. About 50 people attended the first public input meeting and discussed better regulations for landscaping and tree cutting, better parking enforcement downtown as well as other ways to strengthen the town’s ordinances. Last Thursday, some residents said they still want a moratorium, while some said they’d changed their minds. Residents called for
the town to implement whatever changes it decided on quickly and to have “teeth” in them to ensure the regulations can be enforced. Planning and adjustment board chairman John Walters said he would call a meeting as quickly as possible to begin work and update council on its progress during the town’s Dec. 21 meeting. Town council members and town manager Justin Hembree said a formal visioning process is also needed to know exactly what is desirable in Tryon. The town also discussed acquiring outside assistance, such as hiring Benchmark CMR Services, which has previously worked with the town, or seeking a state agency that could guide the town at no cost.

tion of the home as well. Tryon, Columbus, Saluda and Landrum fire departments all worked the scene along with Polk EMS and Polk police. The fire was contained by 4:01 p.m., at which time Davis said the departments planned to allow the home to cool before going back inside.
The home belongs to Ed Lubin, who purchased it in 2000 and has rented it out as a duplex many of those years. The woman living in the left side of the home would not provide her name for this story. Reeves said he believes she has lived there for almost eight years. Reeves himself had moved into the duplex in May.

First Peak Visitor Center in Columbus seeks volunteers If you’ve received great directions or recommendations from a visitor center while on a trip, then you know what an impact it can have on your day – and your memories. The First Peak Visitor Center needs volunteers who can do just that for Polk County and the surrounding area. If you know your way around Polk County or want to know the area better, then you’re just what they are looking for. The First Peak Visitor Center offers volunteers the opportunity to connect with travelers and newcomers to tell them about all the attractions, places to stay, restaurants and the unique collection of galleries, shops and other businesses in the area. In addition to helping our guests, there is light office work such as folding printed materi-
als, stuffing envelopes and data entry. There are opportunities to staff information tables at area events. And, the center could use help caring for its flowerbeds so they look healthy and beautiful. No two days are the same and the center’s needs vary. You can come once a month or once a week - the schedule is flexible. The center needs help on Saturdays and on occasional weekdays when it is short-staffed, so flexibility is helpful. Training will be provided. If you’re curious, give the center a call to learn about the possibilities. Call 828-8942324 or stop by The First Peak Visitor Center, located at 20 E. Mills Street in Columbus on the corner of Walker St. and Highway 108. – article submitted

We’re especially glad that you are looking forward to working with us. It will be our honor to serve our citizens by working with you on finding solutions to the issues facing the county. You so rightly
stated that during the campaign, we openly and honestly presented to the citizens the fact that we had ideas and plans on how to save taxpayers money and cut spending at the same time. We do have plans that if put in place will improve and increase the opportunities for bringing jobs to Polk County, thus improving our local economy. Beginning Monday night, Dec. 6, after the swearing-in ceremony, we will be anxious to get to the business of working for the folks of this great county and trust that there will be honesty and openness in all our debates.
