Commissioners broke with Polk County tradition Monday by naming Ray Gasperson (D) chairman of the Polk County Board of Commissioners instead of top vote getter Ted

Owens (R). After the vote, sounds of “boo” and “all right” erupted from the crowd. Resident Rickie McFalls said he was frustrated with the entire situation. “We have a tradition in Polk County that high vote getter gets chair,” said resident Rickie McFalls. “That tradition went down the tube tonight. It’s re-

ally terrible. I’ve lived here my whole life and it’s been that way my whole life.” Former chair Cindy Walker nominated Gasperson for the position. Walker said there’s been a lot of talk about traditions and she has some traditions of her own. She said she had to do some (Continued on page 6)

ed Mountain Roots Management with partner Bob Robertson. They and a small staff have been promoting and subcontracting in the event management and concert/festival business across the nation since 2007. Mountain Roots Management is the presenting company for events such as the Asheville Music Jamboree (AMJam), Smilefest and the Smilefest Reunion, Asheville Earth Day and Just Because You’re Asheville. “I grew up at the barbecue

festival in Tryon, helping my father, Carl Wharton, and getting to know the community of cookers,” said Wharton. “I also gained some insight as to the relationship between the festival and the community. I am very excited to be a part of this and feel vested in helping the event grow for and with the community. This is going to be a great year – we have many wonderful surprises already shaping up.” Wharton steps in as entertainment chairman, a position formerly held by Peter Eisenbrown, who has resigned after 16 years of service to the festival.

The new chairman is assisted by Hannon, who brings to the table many abilities as well as some firsthand experience with entertainers, having produced and recorded music for several artists ranging from country to hip-hop and having accompanied international recording artists Jay-z and Ginuwine on tour dates. Hannon, born and raised in Tryon, holds a degree in broadcast communication. “As I was growing up here in Tryon, the festival was always a part of my life.

crats over Pack, who was also —Kimberly & nominated. The new board took over after Sable Porter speeches from outgoing commissioners Tommy Melton and Warren Watson. Newly elected Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill was sworn in, along with commissioners Owens, Gasperson and1x1 Pack. Initially, 11/29 the board could not agree on the agenda adoption. PackPORtt-040207 said he wanted three items that touched on personnel issues to be voted on after a closed session due to questions he wanted to ask the attorney. The agenda was adopted by a 3-2 vote with those items staying before the closed session. The selection of chair and vice-chair was the first of what turned out to be a long night of debate over a couple of items. The majority of items on Monday’s agenda were minor items and gained unanimous votes, such as approving meeting and holiday schedules and appointing commissioners to boards. The board was not unanimous on the selection of its attorney

(see article in the Friday, Dec. 10 Bulletin) or a request to upgrade a part-time department of social services position to full-time. At the close of the meeting some board members said they thought the first meeting went well. McDermott commented that she felt it was a good start and there were a lot of items where the full board agreed. She said she also appreciates new ideas. Gasperson also mentioned that all commissioners are seasoned and have a lot of different areas of expertise. Gasperson, an incumbent, McDermott and Walker have served since 2008, while Owens and Pack both served previously. McFalls asked Owens and Pack later in the evening what they were doing in their chairs because everything he’d seen Monday was 3-2 votes. “You’re working for the people,” said McFalls. “You’re not working for the parties. You're going backwards and you need to move forward.”

Letter to the Editor

Letter wrong about trials of soldiers in war crimes To the Editor: In the Nov. 19 issue of the TDB was an article in reply to my letter of Oct. 8 in regard to the international criminal court. The article was written by Mr. John Washburn who is associated with ICC. This letter more or less confirms one of my basic fears and that is a trial by an international court of our troops for war crimes or genocide against civilians. I personally don’t condone genocide, but this leaves some unanswered questions. Suppose a pilot fires a rocket into a building where known enemy combatants are gathered and there happens to be a civilian in the midst. Is that pilot guilty of a war crime? Who decides? Does the ICC decide? Mr. Washburn, you say there’s no jury trial. So that rules out a jury of your peers. You also say there’s no jury in a military trial.

Appointments Ads 113010 - page 14

That’s right, but in the Navy we came under the UCMJ or Uniform Code of Military Justice and were convened by United States military officers in a court martial. To me, that’s close to a jury of your peers. You’d also be represented by military attorneys from J.A.G. Suppose a soldier is tried and convicted and sentenced to several years in prison. Where does he serve out his sentence? In one of these loaner prisons furnished by some foreign country where his family and loved ones can’t afford to visit or somewhere in the U.S. where he’ll have visitation rights? If his right to trial by jury is taken away, what other rights are sacrificed? Too many inconsistencies involved here. It’s strange to me that they want to move the terrorists from Guantanamo and try them in the U.S. where they will get full constitutional protection and move our troops overseas to be tried where a lot of these rights are denied. Some people in Washington seem to be asleep at the wheel. — Wayne Bilbrey

the three main conflict styles – collaborating, competing and avoiding, and that each style is appropriate depending on the situation and the relationship. While competing is an essential part of participating in sports, the students learned that using that style all the time could ruin relationships. They also discussed that while collaboration can be helpful in some situations, it’s not ideal for all because of the time and energy that are involved. The final activity involved an auction that gave the students the opportunity to collaborate or compete with each other. While the students ended up competing with each other, they learned that collaboration could have easily been achieved if they had just talked to one another. Students also learned that mediation provides the opportunity to talk to one another, but they don’t need mediation to resolve every conflict or situation – they just need to communicate with each other to understand other perspectives and needs.

This concert program started over seven years ago at The Lockhart Church in Union County, SC, and has grown to a large cast of performers from surrounding areas. Many members of this large cast of performers are The Jamboree’s friends from The Southern Pointe Band. This concert will feature some favorite Christmas songs and Bible narrations. The Jamboree staff hopes to transform the Jamboree into a mountain Christmas wonderland with just a touch of “Jamboree” style. Many of the decorations were donated by Kathy and Don Mixon. The concert will start at 7 p.m. The concession area will be open with hot dogs, popcorn, soft drinks, and snacks. You can take these snacks into the auditorium to enjoy during the concert if you wish. The doors will open at 6 p.m. More information about other events and schedules can be found at Saludamountainjamboree.com. The Jamboree facility is located off I-26 at exit #59. – article submitted
