Saluda approves erosion, sediment control ordinance by Samantha Hurst
The Saluda Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a new zoning ordinance related to erosion and sediment control after brief discussion during a public hearing held Monday, Sept. 12. Property owners wishing to disturb more than one acre of land, under state restrictions, must submit for an application. In cases of someone wishing to dig on less than one acre, the individual must apply for a zoning compliance certificate. “What the ordinance says
• Insurance fraud (continued from page 1)
After a two-year investigation, N.C. Department of Insurance (NCDOI) criminal investigators said Hannon was the mastermind of a staged ac-
is that you have to state in your application that you are going to go by the state guidelines,” said Saluda commissioner George Sweet. “The state guidelines are really relatively simple and what they say is if you are going to grade and there is any creation of erosion and mud, you have to keep it on your property… so it’s not causing damage for someone else.” Development requiring removal of more than 500 cubic yards of earth material will mandate the need for an application to the city. That
application must include a grading plan, according to the ordinance. The city has not yet discussed possible permit fees for excavation nor has it created a permit application. City administrator Erny Williams said those pieces couldn’t be completed until the city actually had an ordinance in place. Meanwhile, officials said this ordinance is simply a stop-gap until the planning and zoning board can draft a more specific plan for erosion and sediment control within
cident ring in and around Polk County that involved several of his family members and close acquaintances. He is charged with filing false insurance claims with Progressive, GMAC, Allstate, Safeco, GEICO and Liberty
Mutual insurance companies. The total estimated losses associated with the claims are in excess of $100,000, according to a NCDOI release. With the assistance of the National Insurance Crime Bureau, Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Spartanburg County Sheriff ’s Office, Landrum Police Department and Tryon Police Department, Hannon was arrested on Sept. 11 at an apartment complex in Tryon and is being held on a $100,000 secured bond. Seven additional suspects in the case were arrested on Sept. 8: • Ashley Leija Hannon, 25, of 406 Spindale St., Spindale, N.C. • Janice Hannon, 56, of 209 N. Howard Ave., Landrum • Julius Jamal Hannon, 34, of 586 Markham Road, Tryon • Tyreke Hannon, 18, of 209 N. Howard Ave., Landrum • Domonique Deshae Miller, 19, of 209 N. Howard Ave., Landrum • Christopher Nesbitt, 23, of 108 W. Tucker St., Landrum • Khadsha Webster, 17, of 209 N. Howard Ave., Landrum
Saluda. “The planning department is working on a more comprehensive plan… I do anticipate some restrictions on slope, how close you can get to the property line with your cut, etc.,” Sweet said. “I don’t expect you to see something that says you can’t dig a hole bigger than X.” Sweet said he does expect the planning and zoning board to tighten restrictions in regards to what kind of hazards digging a hole or removing dirt might cause for others.
Michael Kareem Hannon
Investigators continue to look for Randy Bashawn Littlejohn, 36, of 111 Gold Medallion Drive, Bostic, N.C. Littlejohn is the last of the known suspects being sought in association with the crime and is wanted on charges of insurance fraud, attempting to obtain to property by false pretense and felony conspiracy. Anyone with information on Littlejohn’s whereabouts is encouraged to contact the Tryon Police Department at 828-859-9195 or the North Carolina Department of Insurance Criminal Investigations Division at 919-807-6840.

efit to members, TAC is offering a monthly super saver workshop for members only at a reduced fee plus materials. TAC is able to offer these classes with the help from instructors donating their time and skills.

Ban bath salts now
In just the last week the Drug Enforcement Administration banned three stimulants used in bath salts with the backing of national poison control centers. This week the Landrum City Council considered banning the sale of bath salts altogether in their town to prevent a surge of youth using the chemicals as accessible drug replacements. Why the sudden uproar over bath salts, of all things? The items are typically sold in gas stations and head shops, not spas or high-end boutiques. In fact, these particular “bath salts” actually have nothing to do with bathing. Over the past two years, drug enforcement agents have discovered individuals experiencing wild spouts of paranoia after snorting the substances and often finding themselves in a hospital emergency room after binging on the products for days. The synthetic substances included in the “bath salt” products have been linked to 20 deaths among youth over the last two years, according to the DEA. While that statistic is not staggering, the concerns over teens and young adults snorting the products to get high have grown. Cities and towns from Alabama to Illinois have banned the products to keep them out of easy possession of youth. Authorities say the chemicals within the products have been known to cause hallucinations and rapid heart rates, among other health concerns. The products are considered extremely dangerous and are even labeled “not for human consumption,” which unfortunately does not stop many people from seeking a high from the products. We think it is a good thing for cities and towns to take a look at the potential of banning these substances as some 30 states around the country and the DEA have already done. In the meantime, we hope people realize the damage they could do to themselves and the harm they might put loved ones in if they are partaking of these substances. — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

We can all continue to watch this dance while our country loses its soul completely or, as individuals and communities, we can act. There is an interesting proposal going around for a 28th amendment to our Constitution – you know, that quaint old document that our founders wrote to guide this country. It is simple but not simplistic. The text is as follows: “Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not equally apply to the citizens of the United States”. Of course this doesn’t solve all the deals that Congress creates without actually passing law, but it does start a very important conversation for all of us – not a monologue of pithy lines about class warfare. Please do not let the view from Birdland sway you into the hate mentality that Congress would delight in seeing, pitting citizen against citizen while they continue to enrich themselves. Our problems are rooted in our government’s lust for money and power not our CEOs. Whatever amount of money we send to the government, they will spend and then spend more. They will never be satisfied as shown by an increasing debt that now accounts for $4 billion
per day. It must be stopped. Not by turning us against each other, not by creating a civil war, but by re-creating our government. Thomas Jefferson famously said: “To preserve the independence of the people, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. “If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat and drink, in our necessaries and our comforts, in our labors and our amusements, for our callings and our creeds as the people of England are, our people, like them, must come to labor 16 hours in the 24, give the earnings of 15 of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses, and the 16th being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live, as they do now, on oatmeal and potatoes, have no time to think, no means of calling the mismanagers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet the chains on the necks of our fellow sufferers.” Yes, our founders were wise teachers. Unfortunately, government curricula have removed their thoughts from most classrooms. Shall we all end up living in Birdland while we become, as Jefferson has predicted, mere slaves to our government? Or will enough of us care enough about the United States of America to return her to “the shining city on the hill?” – Stuart R. Goldstein, Green Creek

Big Brothers Big Sisters holds mentor recruitment drive Big Brothers Big Sisters has started a Back-to-School Mentor Recruitment Drive. The organization hopes to recruit new volunteers to begin helping elementary school students in the next two months. Interested persons age 18 and older are invited to an information session on Tuesday, Sept. 20 from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at the Polk County Library to learn about volunteer opportunities. Another information session will be held at the Landrum Library in October. The Volunteer Recruitment Drive helps the organization meet the needs of youth who can benefit from a one-on-one role model. Volunteers are needed to share one hour a week with an elementary age student in the school-based and afterschool programs. Volunteers
can choose to mentor in one of five area elementary schools in Polk County and Landrum. Youths enrolled with Big Brothers Big Sisters are often not matched with a mentor in the community-based program right away because of a shortage of mentors. After their parent or guardian has requested a mentor for them, some wait a year or more to be matched. The mentor spends part of the hour reinforcing academics with the student through reading, class assignments, or working on vocabulary words or multiplication facts. The mentor and child spend the rest of the hour enjoying a variety of activities, including art and board games, to build the youth’s self-confidence and social skills. School counselors report that students who have

A back to school bash at Tryon United Methodist Church transformed an ordinary August Saturday into a day-long celebration for more than 200 visitors. Outside, families enjoyed free food and drinks while children played games and tested inflatable play structures. Inside, they found gifts for their teachers, an assortment of donated winter coats and more than 100 hand-painted tote bags stuffed with school supplies. By the end of the day, 40 students had gone home sporting new back-to-school haircuts, tote bags full of supplies and exhausted. According to Bob Bailey, one of the event organizers at Tryon United Methodist Church, a large number of volunteers went home equally exhausted but grateful for an opportunity to show love and concern for young families throughout the county.

Enameling on copper and clay workshop at Tryon Arts and Crafts School Tryon Arts and Crafts School (TACS) will host an Enameling on Copper and Copper Clay weekend workshop with instructor Landen Gailey. The two-day workshop will be held on Saturday, Sept. 24, from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 25, from noon to 5 p.m. at the craft school, located on Harmon Field Rd. in Tryon. This workshop is designed for beginners to get acquainted with the basics of enameling on copper. Gailey has taught metal clay workshops at Tryon Arts and Crafts (TAC), and is now taking the medium to the next step by covering basic enameling techniques that can be used on sheet copper or copper clay. Students will first fabricate pendants from sheet copper and copper clay, then prepare each piece for the enameling kiln. After enameling, final assembly of the pendants will be covered. No experience is necessary.
Gailey relocated to Hendersonville in 2002 from Atlanta where she was employed with the City of Atlanta’s art programs. After receiving her degree in art from Agnes Scott College, she became intrigued with enameling and spent 10 years working as a production enamellist. Gailey learned metal clay techniques from her mother, an accomplished metal smith, and received her Precious Metal Clay (PMC) certification in 2006. She is now in her fifth year with PMC and continues to be fascinated with the expansive possibilities of the medium. Her work is exhibited in several galleries in the area. She has extensive involvement with the Museum of Mineral and Lapidary Arts, located in Hendersonville, N.C. and serves on the board of the local gem and mineral club. Advance registration for all

Tryon Federal Bank sponsors St. Luke’s Hospital ‘Ache Around the Lake’ Tryon Federal Bank takes one of the top spots on the sponsors’ podium in this year’s Ache Around the Lake 8K Run/Walk on Sept. 24. The bank’s donation will help support the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation’s efforts to raise dollars that will go towards the purchase of an Omnicell One-cell Omnisupplier for Anesthesia. For improved patient care and safety, the Omnicell supply system will provide St. Luke’s Hospital with a secure and flexible means of managing anesthesia supplies and medication. The electronic documentation software will help St. Luke’s meet regulatory requirements with secure, in-room medication storage. “We truly appreciate our hometown bank donating to our hometown hospital,” says Meshelle Colvin, executive director of the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation. “Tryon Federal Bank is
pleased to support a project that will have such a positive impact on the quality of healthcare in our community offered by St. Luke’s Hospital,” said Jerry Johnson, president of Tryon Federal Bank. “Good things in a city do not just happen. Instead, dedicated people have to work hard to plan, build and pay for projects that enhance the quality of life for all of our residents. We hope that our donation for the Ache Around the Lake benefit will encourage additional contributions from businesses and interested individuals.” The Ache course is an 8K (4.97 miles) USATF-certified and has many inclines and switchbacks, with the last half mile being relatively flat. The Ouch offers race participants a fun twomiler with a few hills. Visit www.achearoundthelake. org to register or learn more about the race and brunch. - article submitted by Jennifer Wilson

Bob Sinclair and trio
Summer Track continues at Rogers Park, Sept. 16 Bob Sinclair and Gigi Dover and The Big Love take the Summer Tracks’ stage for the final concert of the season at Rogers Park in Tryon on Sept. 16 from 7 to 10 p.m. This is a makeup date for the show that was rained out on Aug. 12. The evening begins with Hickory native singer-songwriter Bob Sinclair, whose trio features Joseph Hasty on upright bass and Greg McLaughlin on guitar. Sinclair’s tunes merge jazz, country-swing, blues and ballads. Gigi Dover and The Big Love will feature their 2010 CD titled The Avocado Sessions and are bringing along their full five-piece “Big Love” band. Dover brings warmth, mystery and even a bit of humor into her music and delivers it with presence of a veteran rock chic. The performance begins at 7 p.m. The concert is free. A voluntary donation at the gate is encouraged. Those donations combined with the sponsorships provided by local businesses make these shows possible. JR Wood Fired Pizzas, Cinn-ful Nuts’ desserts, water and soft drinks will be for sale. Summer Tracks is produced by the Town of Tryon in affiliation with Peter Eisenbrown of Blockparty Productions. Rogers Park is in downtown Tryon
Gigi Dover and The Big Love

The Physical Disability Board of Review (PDBR) provides veterans who were medically separated from military service between Sept. 11, 2001 and Dec. 31, 2009, with a new chance to have their disability ratings reviewed for fairness, consistency and accuracy. So far, only 2,700 have applied, a tiny fraction of the 75,000 troops medically separated during the eligibility period. To be eligible, a veteran must have been medically separated between Sept. 11, 2001 and Dec. 31, 2009 with a combined disability rating of 20 percent or less, and must not have been found eligible for retirement. Former reserve members with fewer than 20 years of active duty service and who meet the criteria listed above can also apply. Visit www.health.mil for more information. - article submitted by Wm. H.
