Columbus City Council honored Fire Chief Geoff Tennant and Police Chief Clyde “Butch” Kennedy for their years of service to the community during the Thursday, Dec. 16 council meeting. The two men both plan to retire by the beginning of 2011. Tennant began battling blazes 35 years ago, joining the Columbus department in 1975. He was appointed fire chief seven years later and has remained in that position for 28 years. “You really don’t realize how much this gentleman works until you listen to the scanner,” said Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre. “You really don’t realize how much he does for this community until you stop and think about everything he’s been involved in.” Tennant received the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award for extraordinary service to the state. This is the highest

honor bestowed upon a citizen of North Carolina. He was also awarded the Fire Officer of the Year award by the Western North Carolina Association of
Firefighters in 2006. He also serves to this day as chairman of the Polk County (Continued on page 6)
Tryon may consider new commercial district Car business back on table by Leah Justice
New commercial businesses in some areas of Tryon could see new regulations shortly after the new year. The board of planning and adjustment met Thursday, Dec. 16 and proposed adding a new zoning district in town, referred to as the transitional business
district (TBD). The new district is being proposed down South Trade Street, from the railroad tracks to the Carolina Drive area and on the other side of downtown from near town hall, encompassing small portions of U.S. 176 and Hwy. 108. The new district would have more similarities and uses of the downtown Central Business District (CBD) than the areas’ current General Business District (GBD) zoning. The TBD
Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
would also have setback and parking requirements, which the CBD does not need due to public parking and buildings being on the street. The board was also updated last week that business owner Bob Payne, who previously withdrew an interest to purchase a lot adjacent to Chestnut Street where the former Prass Company was located, (Continued on page 7)

Landrum dumpster customers could see increase in 2011 by Leah Justice
Sanitation customers who have dumpsters in Landrum may see an increase in rates next July. City of Landrum officials say residents and commercial pick-up sanitation customers are subsidizing costs for commercial customers with dumpsters. Landrum City Council met Dec. 14 and discussed whether or not to take bids for sanitation when its contract with GDS is up in June 2011. Commercial customers with dumpsters pay the city $48.15 per month, while it cost the city more $50 per month per dumpster. “I look at garbage just like power and water,” said councilman Billy Inman. “It’s a user fee and they are the users.” Councilwoman Jan Horton agreed and said the city should charge customers what it cost the city. “I don’t think we should make money on it,” said Horton. “If we’re charging under on commercial, then we should go up on commercial.”
Residential customers pay $8 per month for city garbage service and Wolochowicz says the contract is slightly under that for the city. Commercial customers with two roll-out carts pay $27.85 per month and the city’s contract is slightly less than that. Wolochowicz said the city could solicit bids next year when the contract is up, but recommended extending the contract with GDS, saying he feels like they are the least expensive provider. The city has had complaints over the years about garbage service, particularly with recycling service and garbage containers not being replaced, but council agreed last week that they feel those issues have been taken care of. Councilman Randy Wohnig said cheap is great, “but I just want to make sure we’ve got good service.” Council agreed for Wolochiwcz to get a price from GDS on what the 2011 contract would be. The board will decide at a later date whether or not to go out to bid next year.

New equestrian teacher, trainer in Green Creek PuPn-023721
Ed Richardson is now offering riding lessons in Polk County. Richardson focuses his teaching on beginners and people who are getting back to riding and need to build their balance and confidence. As a youth, Richardson rode open jumpers and fox hunted with Loudoun Hunt in Leesburg, Va. Hunter trials and point-topoint races were his passion. His first formal riding lesson was at the former Italian Cavalry school at Agnano, Italy, where his father, a naval officer, was stationed. This is where he was first introduced to training horses with the use of cavaletti. As an adult, raising a family in the greater Chicago area, Richardson stayed close to horses as a photographer, and his pictures appeared regularly in the “Chronicle of the Horse.” In 1979, Richardson emigrated to California, where he returned to active riding. Fox hunting was sparse in California. In order to run and jump, he found three-day eventing to his liking. He got so involved that he and his wife, Susanna, purchased a boarding/training stable that they operated for a few years.

They then purchased 60 acres in Winters, Calif., and for 15 years he and Susanna, taught lessons, trained horses and organized horse shows in eventing and hunter/jumper. Pony clubbers met regularly at the farm where Richardson often was the clinician. Jane Schwartz and Lilo Fore provided Richardson with most of his dressage training. He participated frequently with many more wonderful instructors. Richardson said he owes his knowledge and patience in jumping and cross-country to Jimmy Wofford, Olympian and author of “Training the Three-Day Event Horse and Rider” and “Gymnastics, Systematic Training for Jumping Horses.” According to Richardson, Wofford is a master, not only coaching the advanced level but having the patience and techniques he uses with the beginner. Over the years, Richardson has trained with many other notable instructors: Torrance Watkins, Mike Plumb, Bruce Davidson, Mark Phillips and numerous others. For more information about lessons, call 828-289-3556.
Landrum officials decided this week that allowing chicken coups were not in the city’s best interest. Landrum City Council met this week and had on the agenda a request from Justin and Emily Brock for the city to amend its codes to permit chickens on residential properties within the city.
PuPnTub- page 3
No council member made a motion to amend its codes, so the item was denied. Council members briefly discussed the request during a work session held prior to the meeting and said the property was located within a subdivision with less than one acre lots and city officials did not think with potential noise the city wanted to allow the use.

School Board and as a member of the Polk County Rescue Squad. “I may give up responding at 3 o’clock in the morning to a call of a cat in a tree,” he said. Tennant said he answered those 3 a.m. calls for so long, because of the people he works with each day. “I feel a sense of responsibility for them. If the building falls in on me, that’s unfortunate for me, but if it falls on one of my people … I want to be there to do what I can do to make sure every one of my folks go home,” he said. Another regular Columbus face plans to take a break himself. This will be Butch Kennedy’s second retirement. Kennedy’s wife, Becky, said former City Manager Glenn Rhodes came to their front door four years ago to specifically ask her husband to take on the job as police chief. Butch had been retired for seven years from the North Carolina Highway Patrol. “I just felt like it was such an honor for them to ask him to come and straighten out the town and he has,” she said. Assistant Chief Chris Beddingfield said Kennedy accomplished more in his four years as chief than Beddingfield knew was possible. “When Butch took over the

department it was in turmoil,” Beddingfield said. “He was coming into a hornets nest, and I do mean a hornets’ nest, but he cleaned it up.” Town administrators credit Kennedy for building a staff with more than 120 years of combined service, updating the department’s vehicle fleet, instituting the reporting of regular crime statistics to the state and seeking grants to purchase new bullet proof vests. He also moved the department from the basement of City Hall to its own building and redesigned officer uniforms. Beddingfield thanked Kennedy for his professionalism, ethics and character. He said everyone around knew Butch by name even if they were just driving through. “Almost every car we stop, even today, they ask, ‘Is Butch Kennedy still the chief over there? He gave me my first ticket,’” Beddingfield recounted stirring laughter throughout the council chambers. Beddingfield said Kennedy has more than earned his retirement.

has expressed interest again in building a car business there. Payne’s initial interest was what sparked the town to review its zoning ordinance. The town’s proposed TBD would restrict auto sales and boat services. The said property is within a proposed TBD section. Those uses would still be allowed in the town’s GBD, which is proposed to remain from Carolina Drive to the state line, as well as down U.S. 176 toward the valley. Board of planning and adjustment chair John Walters said any new zoning changes would apply to new construction or changes to the property.
S
Current businesses would be grandfathered. The board also proposed making changes to the permitted use table for the CBD, including ideas to possibly delete government offices, religious institutions and animal services as uses. The board discussed their hope of one day having a downtown area comprised of mostly retail and restaurants. Some board members proposed restricting non-retail or restaurant businesses to only the second floor buildings in a couple of blocks downtown. Board members asked town attorney Bailey Nager last week if creating a new district or an overlay would be best. Nager said a separate district would allow town officials to
say which uses they want in the new district. He said overlays typically have a theme, like Tryon’s current roadway protection overlay for landscaping. Other discussions included the possibility of restricting building sizes in the CBD and allowing for larger buildings in zoning district outside of downtown. The board is working on a list of changes to the zoning ordinances, but decided last week to create the transitional business district first and decide which uses will be allowed there, then make needed amendments in other areas of the zoning ordinance. The board determined the earliest a public hearing could
U RG ERY:
page
be held before town council will be in February. Prior to a public hearing, notices of the proposed changes must be sent to all property owners and signs must be posted in the areas. The town is also required to advertise the public hearing for two consecutive weeks in the local newspaper, according to Nager. Town council meets tomorrow night. The board of planning and adjustment recessed last week’s meeting until Thurs., Dec. 30 at 3 p.m. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Thurs., Jan. 13 at 4 p.m., but special meetings could occur throughout January. All meetings are held in the Tryon Fire Department meeting room.

Christmas is a time for giving and Lady, White Oak of Tryon’s resident dog, and William, their resident cat, are joining forces to head up a food drive for the Foothills Humane Society. Lady, who was adopted from the Foothills Humane Society, wants people to know “although people donate many things to the shelter, they sometimes forget that something as simple as the gift of food is very important.” Donation boxes are located in the lobby at White Oak of Tryon and at Tryon IGA. Drop off your dry dog or cat food between now and Dec. 31. (photo submitted)

People at the “Handling Holiday Stress” panel discussion. (photo submitted)
Polk Wellness Center hosts ‘Handling Holiday Stress’ program at ICC Dec. 6 On Monday, Dec. 6 at 5:30 p.m., Polk Wellness Center presented a “Handling Holiday Stress” panel discussion at ICC-Polk in collaboration with Steps to HOPE and St. Luke’s Hospital. This community awareness event is the first in a “Wellness Series” that Polk Wellness Center will present in the coming year. The public event included a complimentary dinner, childcare and health screenings such as glucose and blood pressure checks performed by Allied Health students at ICC. Participants enjoyed pizza, fruit and vegetables in the festive lobby of ICC. Many of the refreshments were donated by Bi-Lo (Columbus), IGA, Nature’s Storehouse and Food Lion. After dinner, attendees moved to the auditorium where the panelists began an informative and informal presentation about holiday stress triggers and ways to manage them. Polk Wellness Center panelists included therapist and administrator Jim Nagi, LCSW; therapist and clinical director Dr. Gordon Schneider; therapist Rob Fuller, LCSW-P; and Dr. Jeffrey Viar, physician and medical director. Nagi started the discussion by posing a question: “If you could change one thing this Christmas, what would it be?” Some audience members said “money” and “having my son home for Christmas.” Those
answers led to Dr. Schneider’s helping attendees identify causes of holiday anxiety and depression (such as what we are missing at this time of year – money and family). He offered ways to prevent or lessen those symptoms that included the simple act of volunteering and helping others less fortunate to bring about a positive meaning to the holiday experience. Fuller focused on children and depression, specifically how parents can recognize the symptoms of depression in children and teenagers that often differ from those of adults. Symptoms include irritability, anger and sleep difficulties. Dr. Viar discussed the impact of stress on the body, especially at holiday time when people have less sleep and eat carbohydrate-rich, sweet foods that can impact cholesterol, glucose levels and mood. Making healthier food choices, finding a minimum of a half hour three times of week to exercise; as well as getting in the sun were suggested as the best ways to stay healthy during this time of year. Steps to HOPE case manager Cherie Wright offered insight about domestic abuse during the holiday season. She explained while domestic abuse usually increases during the holidays, statistics show most domestic abuse victims tend to stay with their abusers during the
holidays in an effort to create the “perfect holiday” or minimize stress on the family by leaving the home. Dr. Mark Cornelius, a hospitalist with St. Luke’s Hospital, wrapped up the discussion with hopeful insights for the New Year. Dr. Cornelius offered ways to start physically and mentally healthy habits once the food, drink and fatigue in December is over. He also explained how the medical community is embracing the idea of a “three-legged stool” in which physicians not only treat the body and the mind, but also emphasize the importance of individuals nurturing the spirit. All three “legs” work together to create the best possible medical outcomes. Dr. Schneider, clinical director of Polk Wellness Center, said of the center, “As clinicians, our goal is to have clients recognize the mind-body-spirit connection so they can eventually manage their own wellness.” Polk Wellness Center is a nonprofit community of providers offering comprehensive health and wellness services in an atmosphere that fosters respect for all served, regardless of their ability to pay. Polk Wellness Center uses a comprehensive, integrated model to provide primary care, mental health/substance abuse, prevention, education, wellness, and recovery support services. – article submitted
