Polk County is considering dissolving its travel and tourism services to the Carolina Foothills Chamber of Commerce and the proposal has caused quite a stir with some accommodation providers.

Word has circulated the area for weeks that a proposal has been made to transfer the service. The Polk County Travel and Tourism Advisory Board met with Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson Monday, Feb. 14 regarding the proposal.

The travel and tourism board has not come to a consensus yet on how it feels about the possibility of the chamber taking over (Continued on page 3)

Saluda zoning board amends Parking limits home occupation definition on Trade St. Saluda Board of commissioners must now approve

by Samantha Hurst

A fervent discussion at the Jan. 17 Saluda Board of Commissioners’ meeting sent the town’s zoning board back to work on proposed changes related to the town’s home occupation definition.

The zoning board’s meeting Feb. 15 aimed to rectify the following concerns raised in January: verbiage related to vehicles,

the creation of a sliding scale for determining the number of accessory buildings allowed based on lot size and the elimination of CH zones from the definition.

“I think we’ve addressed everything the commissioners were concerned about and I do think we have a good amendment on the three main things they asked that we work on,” Bright said.

Bright said commissioners first asked the planning and zoning board to study the home occupation definition after receiving complaints from a resident (Continued on page 6)

the service, but some members expressed strong opinions this week against the move.

Travel and tourism board chair Peggy Turner said she is upset the county did not tell the tourism board what is happening.

“Ryan, I think you’re throwing in the towel too soon,” Turner said to Whitson Monday. “I feel that way because you didn’t come to us first.”

Whitson said he’s not throwing in the towel and that no decisions have been made. The proposal all came about last year, Whitson said, when a chamber of commerce member asked him if the county would be interested in giving the travel and tourism duties to the chamber. Whitson said he’s not sure if he was asked by the individual, or if the individual was representing the chamber.

Whitson asked if the chamber would be interested in taking the service just for the occupancy tax revenue and said he never received a response. Whitson said he more recently spoke to the chamber’s executive director Janet Sciacca and mentioned that he never received a response on whether or not the chamber would be interested.

“There’s not been any formal proposal,” Whitson said. “I do have a letter from Andy Millard (chamber president) and it will be in the county’s agenda packet Monday night. It has a lot of questions in it. If the board of commissioners tells me to share that information, I will.”

The county received $66,146 during fiscal year 2009-2010 for occupancy tax, according to the county’s finance office, and $66,108 during fiscal year 2008-2009. The county contributed $64,019 to the department during the 2009-2010 budget year, according to the finance office’s amended budget. The current year’s budget was approved for a total of $135,053, with $64,000 anticipated to come from occupancy tax and $71,053 from the county’s general fund originally. By taking out an ad-

ministrative position, the county anticipates contributing no more than $55,697.

Whitson said the county, as everyone, is facing difficult economic times and he has to find places to cut.

“I haven’t decided what I’m going recommend (to commissioners for the budget), Whitson said. “But the school system is going to take some pretty big cuts and the county needs to offset some of that. And I’m going to be looking at cuts.”

Board member Sarah Bell asked Monday what other members’ issues are with the chamber taking over the service.

Some members said they fear people who have been working on travel and tourism for years will no longer be heard, particularly those in the accommodation business, who collect the occupancy tax for travel and tourism services.

Board member Stephanie Ott said the Foothills Chamber allowed two hotels in Hendersonville into their chamber and in one year it took hundreds of rooms from bed and breakfasts.

Tryon Town Council met Tuesday, Feb. 15 and set a public hearing on a new parking overlay district for March 21. The public hearing will begin at 7 p.m. at the Tryon Fire Department.

“Technically a public hearing is not required,” said Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree.

“However, considering the nature of this new ordinance, staff feels it would be appropriate to hold a public hearing prior to approving the ordinance.”

The new regulations are proposed to be complaint driven.

The town had previously discussed issuing stickers to all downtown employees for enforcement, but some council members said they had issues with that approach due to punishing employees when they were downtown for personal matters not involving work.

Council first discussed banning downtown business employees from parking on Trade Street in December, but the town has received complaints for the past decade, mostly from merchants who say employees take up parking that should be used for customers.

The draft ordinance creates a new overlay district downtown along North and South Trade Streets between the North Trade and Palmer Street intersection and the South Trade Street and

main street financial - page 65

2x5

New Market Road intersection.

Fines for persons who work or live downtown and park on North or South Trade Street within the district are proposed at $50.

The draft ordinance states, “it shall be unlawful for a district employee or tenant to park a vehicle within the employee/tenant restricted parking area while such person is performing his/ her duties, or, in the case of the occupant of a residential apartment or condominium, when using the space for parking for such occupancy.

The provisions of this ordinance shall be effective between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., any day except Sundays and public holidays.”

The draft ordinance exempts vehicles displaying handicapped license plates or dashboard placards and parked in spaces reserved for the handicapped.

Tryon currently has twohour parking signs with fines of $10, but the ordinance is rarely enforced. Tryon Town Council has battled the parking problem for years, saying that when the 2-hour limits are enforced, employees see officers marking tires and simply move their vehicles to another space.

Parking for employees is available behind downtown as well as on McCown Street across the railroad tracks. Council has also discussed in the past creating a new public parking area beside the railroad tracks on the other side of Sidestreet Pizza.

about large amounts of heavy equipment stored in the yard of a nearby home occupation. He said looking at one portion brought to light numerous other issues.

Resident Bruce Campbell was that resident.

“In no way do I want to stop small businesses, home occupations, from being allowed in the home, but when it goes outside the home you can imagine what that can do to the property next door,” Campbell said. “By allowing this business to exist in an R1 district it really shows the flaws in the ordinance,” he said.

Campbell said he appreciates the hard work of the zoning board to address issues within the ordinance.

And hard work it has been Bright said.

“When you address home occupation for example that leads you to accessory building and then that leads you to signage – everything gets linked,” said zoning board chairman Henry Bright.

“So its quite a process. But I think we’re doing some good work.”

Saluda’s zoning ordinances do not currently restrict businesses inside a residence or accessory building, nor do they restrict the number of vehicles or accessory buildings used.

The zoning board approved presenting the following amendments to the changes originally presented to the board of commissioners last month.

The definition of a home occupation, if approved next month by the commissioners, would read: “An occupation, profession, activity or use that is clearly a customary, secondary, and incidental use of a residential dwelling unit which does not alter the exterior of the property or affect the residential character of the neighborhood.”

Other changes include verbiage that reads, “The maximum allotted space for any and all home occupations is limited to no more than twenty-five (25) percent of the finished and heated

NATIONWD - page 119

square footage of the residential dwelling and in addition, any and all space needed in one accessory building.”

Board members also approved a proposal to include a sliding scale for the number of accessory buildings allowed on a given property. The current ordinance does not limit the number of such buildings allowed.

If approved by commissioners, the scale would now allow for two accessory buildings totaling no more than 1,000 square feet (maximum of 800 square feet for any one building) for lots up to two acres. Lots more than two acres but no more than four acres would be allowed two accessory buildings up to 1,400 square feet in total (maximum 1,200 square feet for any one building). Finally, for any lot more than four acres, an owner would be allowed to put into place up to three accessory buildings totaling 1,800 square feet (maximum 1,600 square feet for any one building).

A new ordinance would also restrict an accessory building from being built on a vacant lot and would prevent someone from subdividing a lot in a way that would leave any accessory building as the single structure on a lot.

The ordinance also asks that owners construct accessory buildings with similar exterior materials as the primary residence.

Residents like Dotty Eargle believe the zoning board should not stifle entrepreneurs.

“I don’t feel like we should restrict home occupations,” Eargle said during the January meeting.

“Zoning is here to help people make the most of property.”

Hal Green, a former planning board member, said he too is concerned what the restrictions could do to people already struggling.

“To restrict home businesses to within the four walls of a residence and accessory buildings means you are effectively restricting home businesses to things like computer programming, hair dressing … and you are limiting a very large number of blue collar (Continued on page 11)

When Rachel Haynes-Wood walks into Pavillon Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center in Sunny View, she knows she will interact with people who are hurting.

Many of those people are children.

“Kids don’t talk about their feelings openly,” Haynes-Wood said. “Our program is designed to give them a safe place to share their emotions in a way they may have never been able to before.

Kids are often too ashamed to talk when a parent or another loved one is dealing with addiction.”

“Definitely if you can get into the family system early on, and treat the whole family, you can break generations of abuse,” she said.

Children of addiction are four times more likely to become an addict, Haynes-Wood said.

“In a family that has started to talk about it early on, they can address it in a much more open way and the child will have a better chance of seeking treatment,”

Haynes-Wood is the program’s coordinator. She said the weekend program is held once a month and typically works with no more than six kids at a time.

Haynes-Wood said there are about 2,500 school-aged children enrolled in Polk County schools.

She said statistics show one in four children live in homes where substance abuse is present. That could mean about 500-600 local kids are impacted by familial addictions, she said.

“We see the development of a lot of emotional problems because these kids often haven’t

had a lot of resources to deal with these really tough things that even adults have trouble dealing with,” Haynes-Wood said.

She said high anxiety and depression show up because kids walk on needles to not trigger their loved ones to drink or use drugs. She said she sees perfectionism and self-esteem issues.

She said both boys and girls also often develop negative or codependent relationships. They are also likely to develop behavioral issues in school and suffer from dropping grades, she said.

Haynes-Wood said the Pavillon children’s program works to instill “The Seven Cs.” The Seven Cs, which encourage chil-

Indoor farmer’s market at Mill Spring Ag Center Feb. 19 Polk County’s farm markets are able to operate year-round now by having a monthly indoor location in Mill Spring.

This month’s indoor farmer’s market at the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center will be held Saturday, Feb. 19. The market is open from 8 a.m. – 2 p.m. and will feature meats, cheeses, value-added producers, crafters and an educational array of local winter produce and other edibles.

The Mill Spring Agricultural Development center, located in

the former Mill Spring School, is the host site for the monthly indoor farmer’s market season, typically held the last Saturday of each winter month through March.

This month’s date change to the third Saturday in February is because of a Feb. 26 Marketing Conference for Farmers’ sponsored by ASAP and held at Warren Wilson College.

For vending or further information, contact Lynn Sprague at 919-414-7840.

“Well I’ve never been in favor of government,” Matthews said. “It seems silly to me – if someone wants to work out of their home theyshould be able to do it. Last I heard we were a free country that supposedly encouraged people to take care of themselves.”

Green said the attitude troubles him given the nature of unemployment in North Carolina.

Green said from his home he is easily able to see a $1 million home and just down the road, a trailer.

When asked about the need to keep a certain visual aesthetic or character in place, Green quoted Saluda’s late Mayor Lee Clifford who described Saluda as, “eclectic.”

“It’s a place with people from all income categories and ways of life,” Green said. “Those people who have moved presumably

Bright said he feels it’s important to take into consideration the character of a neighborhood in order to preserve, if nothing else, property values. He said for any town, preserving character makes for a neighborhood that is more desirable to live in.

“Our plans are to really look at Saluda and have some vision for what Saluda will look like in the future,” Bright said.

Flowers and candy were sent and received by many and the sentiment of romantic love prevailed for a day. But is that really true love in the most profound sense?

“When we seek every day to live into love as God has offered it to us and to extend that love to those around us we will find our way becomes smoother, more peaceful and filled with a sense of satisfaction no matter what our circumstances.” that one true love which undergirds the entire cosmos, is the love we are called to have for one another. that love does not depend on how we feel, nor on what we like, nor on what we want – it is based entirely on living into the gifts of peace and virtue poured upon us through the holy Spirit. in receiving that love we are obliged to pass it on to others through acts of kindness, empathy, tolerance and grace as choices we make for the sake of love, no matter how we may feel. to that end, for the sake of love we forgive when we are offended, we

have compassion when our neighbor suffers, we are tolerant of those we find intolerable, and we extend grace rather than retribution. the love that empowers our ability to choose the good and reject the evil is the divine love which gives us life and hope, and without that love our existence will be hollow and hopeless.

Letter to the Editor

The people of HoCF exemplify the following quote: “The service we render to others is really the rent we pay for our room on this earth. It is obvious that man is himself a traveler, that the purpose of this world is not ‘to have and hold,’ but ‘to give and serve.’ There can be no other meaning.”

– Sir Wilfred T. Grenfell, M.D. 1865-1940 Our heartfelt appreciation to everyone at HoCF. We will never forget the love and comfort you provided us during our time of need.

--The family of Mildred McGuinn Lynch Jackson

Hospice cares for whole family

To the Editor: Our area is blessed with a unique blend of natural beauty and wonderful people and HoCF is another shining example.

The love, care, sensitivity and professionalism displayed by Jean Eckert, Dr. Kamell and th entire staff while we were there was remarkable. We developed a deeper appreciation for the service hospice provides and we left touched and inspired by the dedication of all of those who work there.

Historic treasure of the month for February This desk is similar to that of the original owner/editor of the Tryon Daily Bulletin, Seth Vining Sr. It once belonged to a famous spor tswriter and was donated to the Polk County Museum by his wife.

Vining’s desk was famous as a “marvel of efficiency.” Would you like to know how the dangling strings contributed to this efficiency? Does the large black object beside the desk peak your curiosity?

What is the framed document on the wall? Then there is that overturned Coca Cola case on the floor. How could it possibly contribute to Mr. Vining’s “marvel of efficiency?”

Visit the Polk County Museum and inspect these interesting ar tifacts. The museum is located at 60 Walker Street in Columbus. Hours are Tuesday and Thursday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Garland Goodwin re-created Mr. Vining’s “marvel of efficiency” by relying on memories of his youth. Goodwin is a past president of the Historical Association who worked as a “printer’s devil” during the early years of the Bulletin. (photo submitted)

TA & C holds mosaic painting workshop in March Tryon Arts and Crafts School will host a mosaic painting weekend workshop with instructor Kay Larch. The workshop will be held on Saturday, March 5 and Sunday, March 6 at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road. This is an opportunity for students to learn a new painting technique uniquely and originally created by the instructor.

Kay Larch, a self-taught mixed-media artist and painter, grew up in Huntington Beach, Calif. She currently lives in Greenville, S.C., where she shares a studio space with two other artists. Larch says she has always been drawn to mosaics.

Blending this ancient art form with her own acrylic painting was, according to her, “a natural path” to take. Using brilliant

color from water based paints and a glassy texture achieved through layers of lacquer, Larch has developed her own style and technique that she refers to as “painted mosaics.”

Painted mosaics create the visual effects of ceramic tile mosaics without the mess, tools, buckets of grout, nippers, goggles, etc.

Over the course of the weekend, students will learn to transform acrylic paintings into mosaics.

By adding ‘grout’ lines, paintings take on a painted ‘tile’ appearance.

Adding layers of crystal lacquer creates the shiny, mosaic texture that can be felt as well as seen. Everything necessary to complete these unique projects will be provided and each student will create at least three mosaics during the workshop, as simple or

as elaborate as the students’ desire. Students may create mosaics using their own design, subject matter and individual style or they may choose from a selection provided by the instructor.

The “painted mosaic” technique will be taught by its creator, Kay Larch, on Saturday, March 5 from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m., and Sunday, March 6 from 12 – 5 p.m.

Space is limited in this workshop.

Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information about the instructor or workshop including tuition and supply costs, contact Tryon Arts & Crafts at 828-859-8323 or by email tryonartsandcrafts@ windstream.net.

Education blitz evaluates nursing performance in patient care The classroom at St. Luke’s Hospital has been a busy place as members of our nursing staff are working to complete annual competencies.

Using a bank of laptop computers, nursing staff is reviewing patient care policies in the classroom before heading down the outpatient hallway where they will demonstrate their ability and actual performance during the “hands-on” portion of the annual review.

From the blood glucometer, to the patient lift, to the Broselow pediatric emergency cart, to the defibrillator, to cardioversion and rapid sequence intubation, to name a few, every nurse must go through the series. At each station, evaluators assess each nurse as he/she demonstrates knowledge and competence. Successful completion and documentation

All North Carolina DMV driver license offices closed Feb. 21 All N.C. Division of Motor Vehicle driver license offices will be closed on President’s Day, Monday, Feb. 21, while the National Driver Registry is updated. The system update will affect driver licensing transactions around the country throughout the President’s Day weekend, but is expected to curtail business in North Carolina for just one day.

Drivers requiring a new or renewed driver license, learner permit, commercial driver license or ID card should plan visits to their driver license office before or after the one-day closure. Driver licenses may be renewed up to six months prior to the birthday renewal date. Appointments for driver improvement clinics will not be accepted on Feb. 21; however,

hearings already scheduled to take place at driver license offices will be held.

During the closure, the state’s driver license examiners and other employees will report to work to undergo additional training required by computer upgrades and changes to federal requirements.

The closure will not affect license plate agencies that register

and title vehicles, including the DMV-run agencies in Raleigh and Charlotte. Applications for duplicate licenses and ID cards may also continue to be submitted online through the DMV website.

All offices are expected to reopen for business at 8 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 22. Questions about DMV services may be directed to 919-715-7000.
