Columbus looks to solve loitering issue by Leah Justice
Columbus officials say they need a new law that gives the police department the right to ask people “to move along.” Columbus Town Council met Tuesday, March 22 and discussed recent issues with loitering. The town currently has no ordinance to regulate loitering. Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe and police chief Chris Beddingfield told council
of recent issues with young people hanging out in parking lots at night, a man with a sign that disrupted traffic and another man who sat on a bench in front of businesses for eight to 10 hours at a time. “Recently the police department has had issues with loitering and other events with people being on public sidewalks and disrupting traffic flow,” Kanipe said. “We have nothing in our

code to ask people to move along, for lack of better words.” Beddingfield said one day a man stood near the roundabout with a signt hat said he was upset at a local business regarding his mother-in-law. Columbus officials said they don’t want to prohibit free speech, but when an act causes traffic problems, something needs to be done. (Continued on page 4)

“We have nothing to address that,” said Beddingfield. “It was causing problems because traffic was stopping to read the sign.” Another recent incident involved two people who were staying at the Days Inn who had an altercation and both were arrested, Beddingfield said. Both went to jail but then had nowhere to go. Beddingfield said the police department gave one person a ride out of town, but the other decided to sit on the bench in front of a downtown restaurant for eight to 10 hours at a time. Beddingfield said he didn’t have the greatest appearance and people didn’t feel safe walking by him. Business owners called the police department to complain. At night, the police department says it is having problems with young people congregating in parking lots. The teenagers are

not doing anything illegal, but it draws crowds and they are leaving black marks from squealing tires, according to Beddingfield. Another issue mentioned Tuesday was occasional homeless people who camp out on public property. Council decided for Kanipe, Beddingfield and town attorney Bailey Nager to draft an ordinance for council to discuss further next month. Council members said they won’t prohibit people’s First Amendment rights, but can designate times and areas to protest, such as the issue with people standing on the street with signs. “Our only issue was that it was stopping traffic on Mills Street,” said Kanipe in talking about the man with the sign. “If it had been on the courthouse lawn it would have been different. We will not stop anyone’s First Amendment right to speak. It’s much more about the obstruction on the sidewalk.” friends on Thursday, March 24, 2011 from 7-9 p.m. at Eggers Funeral Home in Chesnee, S.C.

the PGR there were several motorcycle clubs present, including outlaw clubs like the hells angels. Someone estimated over sevenhundred bikers, many riding two-up, had come together to honor the fallen airman After the funeral, when the procession from the church to the cemetery (about eight miles down the road) was under way, the lead bikes arrived at the cemetery before the last cars in the procession had even left the church. my point in telling you all of this is simple. how did seven hundred fiercely independent bikers, a great many law enforcement officers, military representatives and hundreds of family members and supporters manage to work in concert to honor a fallen airman? We chose to work together for the sake of a common purpose out of mutual respect for a shared

ideal. We rode side by side for a common purpose. We live in challenging times when religious, political, social and cultural ideals can set us at odds with one another and which have the potential of creating destructive conflicts. however, there is a way to transcend any division. When we stand in sympathy for a cause greater than our own preferences and work cooperatively with one another we can do amazing things as families, clubs, churches and communities even under the most difficult of circumstances. When those seven-hundred motorcycles all started up at once in front of the Boulevard Baptist Church – we liberals, conservatives, moderates, outlaws, veterans and all together – someone said you could hear the roar all the way across town. how powerful is that?

Polk softball’s Hrobak perfect versus Mitchell by Daniel Hecht
Perfect. An adjective, according to Webster, defined as being entirely without fault or defect. In softball lingo, a perfect game, according to the rules of the International Softball Federation, is a statistic credited to a pitcher when he/she completes a game and allows no runner from the opposing team to reach first base. Polk junior hurler Jamie Hrobak was perfect Tuesday versus Mitchell, and yet seemed unimpressed by the magnitude of her accomplishment. When asked how she felt after retiring 18 consecutive Mitchell batters, 16 of them on strikeouts, Hrobak just smiled and replied, “I’m happy,” and then walked back into the home dugout to cheer on Polk’s JV squad. Only two Lady Mountaineers even managed to put a bat on a Hrobak pitch, with Danielle Robinson flying out to right in the first and cleanup hitter Cassie Burleson popping out to short in the fifth. The commanding performance gave Hrobak her 35th career victory and improved her record, as well as that of the Lady Wolverines, to 6-1 on the year, and a perfect 2-0 in the conference. Polk coach Jeff Wilson was a bit more enthusiastic about Hrobak’s
achievement, noting that Hrobak’s perfect game was just the second he’d been involved with in his long coaching career. “I’m just really proud of Jamie,” said Wilson. “She’s a hard-working kid who is loved by her teammates because of how genuine she is.” At the plate, the Lady Wolverines worked Mitchell pitchers Christina Cormican and Whitney Tipton for eight hits and nine walks on the afternoon. Hrobak led the Polk offensive effort with a single and a double, while Cassie Couch, Brittany Jones, Yancy Pace, Cavin Richards, Casey McDowell and Shayln Brown all contributed base hits to the 10-run, six-inning victory. The Lady Wolverines face a major challenge today, Thursday, March 24, squaring off against visiting Swain County, the number one ranked 1A team in the state. “We’ll have our hands full,” said Wilson, noting that the Lady Devils, led by senior pitcher Shelby Parker, average about 15 runs per game and have been to the state championships in Raleigh five years in a row. “There are three or four teams on our schedule that are really, really good, and for us to be considered really good, we have to beat some of them, and Swain is one of them,”
Yancy Pace slides safely into home during Polk’s 10-0 victory over Mitchell Tuesday, March 22. (photo by Dan Hecht)
said Wilson, noting that, while beating Swain won’t affect Polk’s playoff run, the game is an important measuring stick for his young team. Wilson added that the return of Alyssa Montgomery, Polk’s two-time all-state catcher who has been nursing a sprained ankle, is
a major key to his team’s chances this season. “We need to get Alyssa healthy, that’s a big factor for us,” said Wilson, adding that Montgomery is “used to getting two or three hits a game, and is ready to get back to playing and contributing.”
Polk, Landrum wage border war on golf course by JB Wilson
The Polk County men’s golf team squared off against Landrum March 21 in what would be the only match-up for both teams against out-of-state foes. Polk County head coach Craig Culbreath said, “We used to play Chesnee and some other South Carolina teams. I guess with these high gas prices nobody is looking to make long drives.”
Long drives off the tee box, though, were aplenty in today’s match because of intense wind. The breezy conditions made club selection a guessing game for both sides. The Wolverines may have had a leg up on their competition as the match was played at their home course of Tryon Country Club. Polk sophomore Will Trakas said, “Every hole the wind was
switching up…. No complaints though. It was a nice day.” A ‘nice day’ may have been an understatement from Trakas. He was the low scorer from the match, shooting a 37 on nine holes. When asked about his play, Trakas admitted he didn’t even shoot his best. “I got kind of lucky,” Trakas said. “Off the first tee I hit my drive way left and the monkeys
gave me some help by throwing it out of the trees and into the fairway.” Trakas helped lead his varsity squad to victory as Polk outmatched Landrum with a team score of 163 against the Cardinal’s 182. Polk County will take a couple of days off and return to the links this coming Thursday as they play Madison at Reems Creek.

Tryon Daily BulletinThat's / why The Wadvertising orld’s Smallest in Daily Newspaper The Tryon Daily BulleTin is so satisfactory and profitable. It carries your message right into the homes and workplaces of the people you want to reach.
The March fishing report Temperatures are warming, days are lengthening, and the fish are coming out of their winter haunts to prepare for the spring spawn. This is common knowledge to many and this can be seen by the increasing number of anglers on the water. I dare say a majority of fishermen do the bulk of their fishing in April and May, mostly due to the easiest fishing of the year. I want to take a moment and mention some of the opportunities that the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has to offer. The NCWRC spends our license fees and tax dollars accomplishing a wide range of functions. From boating access ramps and piers, to wildlife management and even special opportunities for disabled outdoorsmen and women. These opportunities include special privileges for access to game lands, fishing piers and permit hunts. There is one offer that the NCWRC offers that my family has taken advantage of this past week and that is a lifetime license.
