ings,” Armbrust said. Armbrust said he submitted a grant proposal Friday, Feb. 4 to the North Carolina Department of Commerce’s Main Street Solutions Fund (MSSF). Proposal specs requested $50,000; the maximum Tryon can receive under this grant cycle. Last year the town was awarded a $150,000 MSSF grant for the Depot plaza project. Armbrust said that work is tentatively scheduled to begin in April with hopes for it to be completed in tandem with the plaza work. This new grant, if awarded, would fund new sidewalks, curb and gutter work, plaza paving materials and utility upgrades. “We want some aesthetic continuity and some visual cluing that this is all tied to(Continued on page 4)

gether,” Armbrust said of the parallel projects. “These two efforts will also be tied together through the Rotary clock plaza.” Armbrust said he and the town are appreciative of the cooperation from and contribution of Bob Lane. He said St. Luke’s Commons & Plaza would, “create a downtown gathering place for present and future generations of Tryonites.” Armbrust said many people have questioned why the location would be named St. Luke’s Commons & Plaza. He said the mistake is in thinking the name originates from the fact that the location used to be a thrift store. “While that was one of its former uses that is indeed not the reason it’s being named St. Luke’s,” he said. “St. Luke’s principal attribute is as patron saint of artists and secondarily as patron saint of doctors. Among the general public his
association with physicians has superseded their knowledge of his association with the former. It is meant to recognize and celebrate St. Luke’s Hospital’s longstanding commitment to the healthcare of Polk County and Tryon citizens.” Related to associating names with the plaza, Armbrust said there would be naming opportunities for citizens when the town begins selling engraved bricks for the plaza, as well as memorial benches and tables. Armbrust said about eight to 10 benches would likely be available based on landscaping plans. People can also purchase lighting memorials similar to those seen throughout downtown Tryon, as well as sponsorships of the pergola. These memorial items will be available for sale beginning March 1. If interested in purchasing a paver or other memorial, contact Cry Armbrust at carmbrust@windstream.net or Meg Rogers at mer@tryon-nc. com.

• Planning board (continued from page 1)
of commissioners rescinding the county’s mountainside and ridgeline protection ordinance (MRPO) and not approving a former steep slope proposal recommended by the planning board. The new draft ordinance gives a trigger of 30 percent slope where the building inspector has to inspect a site. Also gives homeowners a way to appeal. Commissioners earlier this year directed the planning board to come up with wording to direct the building inspector to inspect a building site once a permit is applied for in order to determine if an engineer is needed. The proposed ordinance by giving a trigger of 30 percent slope would mean that the building inspector would not have to inspect every building site early, only the ones on a slope of 30 percent or greater. “Prior to issuance of a building permit and/or zoning compliance, a Polk County building inspector shall perform a site visit. The building inspector is to determine whether a professional engineer’s evaluation would be required for the work proposed at the site,” states the draft ordinance. The draft includes that the ordinance would be in effect countywide. Exemptions for land disturbing activity include for agriculture, forestry, alterations and replacements of singlefamily dwellings and minor land disturbing activities 1,000 square feet or less. Also on the agenda is the planning board’s first discussion of White Oak Plantation’s rezoning request. The request is for the county to amend its zoning ordinance and zoning map to establish an equestrian zoning district permitting uses consistent with mixeduse equestrian developments. The rezoning includes several large, contiguous tracts within the approximate 1,000-acre development recently purchased by Tryon Equestrian Properties LLC. The request from the developer says the district seeks
mixed-use development and incorporates many of the uses permitted in the other districts and encourages development of a pre-existing subdivision into a premier international equestrian lifestyle destination as defined in the proposed development agreement. The planning board and commissioners have been given a draft development agreement from White Oak that includes plans for 800 dwelling units, including single-family residential and clustered multi-family condo/ townhouses. Plans also include a hotel, a 6,000-seat stadium, a heliport, winery/vineyard and a 100-unit retirement facility. The development is located off Pea Ridge Road in the Green Creek Township.

Slope solution back on table and rightfully so Planning board members once again will turn their conversation toward slope thresholds in relation to the county’s building regulations during their upcoming meeting Feb. 14. There is a reason slope percentages continue to come up again and again. Polk County needs them. Commissioners rescinded the county’s mountainside and ridgeline protection ordinance (MRPO) ignoring a former steep slope proposal from the planning board. They did so despite a crowd of voices at the commission meeting who spoke in favor of protections of some sort for the area’s mountainsides. In this case, if commissioners won’t consider the potential need for a slope threshold to prevent safety concerns or protect the aesthetics of our area, maybe they will listen when the implementation of a slope percentage would protect the county’s pocketbook. Without some sort of trigger put into place, county building inspector Steve Jones would have to do a site visit to every building site before any work is done to determine whether or not an engineer must be brought in for further inspection. This would multiply the amount of work he must do each time someone applies for a building permit, plus potentially delay projects unnecessarily. Jones would still maintain all the site visits he currently does for construction sites, plus these pre-inspections as well. Commissioners should think through this clearly and see the potential cost this could incur for the county and property owners. We know if we were providing direction to property owners, we would suggest an engineer come out to any property we felt any hesitation toward because of the potential liability. One way or another an ordinance needs to be on the books provide guidance to Jones and future building inspectors. Another benefit of this proposed ordinance to be considered by the planning board is that it gives property owners some recourse too. If a property owner doesn’t agree with Jones’ or another building inspectors’ requirement for an engineer they can then appeal the decision. - The Tryon Daily Bulletin Staff

Po’ Kitties
To the editor: I attended the county commissioner’s meeting on Feb. 4 because trapping was on the agenda. I’m opposed to legalizing trapping in Polk County. Our wildlife officer, Toby Jenkins, flanked by two state biologists, was invited to make a presentation, clearly pro-trapping. Where Letter were the “experts” o p p o s e d t o t r a p - to the ping? Why weren’t Editor anti-trapping biologists invited to speak? What, exactly, was the purpose of having this presentation if not to oppose the citizens who filled the room who are clearly against trapping, marked by defining red ribbons? Perhaps our wildlife officer was there to threaten “Po’ Kitties,” which I understand is a local group who humanely traps, spays or neuters feral cats, and then returns them to their habitat. Mr. Jenkins pointed out that the humane traps used by Po’ Kitties are illegal. Apparently, he has previously never enforced the law that could put a stop to this very selfless endeavor-possibly because it benefits the community by controlling the feral cat population and reducing the financial burden on local animal control. If he has never prosecuted Po’ Kitties before, then why bring it up now — at a time when the animal community is speaking out against the commissioners’ decision? It certainly sounded like a threat to me. One biologist was asked about litter size in coyotes, and he confirmed that the number of pups in a litter increases as the availability of food increases. What he didn’t say was
that when coyotes are killed, it can cause their population to actually grow, due to this phenomenon. The remaining coyotes benefit from better living opportunities, and their numbers increase. Scientists in Nevada found that litters increased from an average of 1 to 3.5 pups in these conditions (reported by The Sacramento Bee, 4-30-2012). While coyotes’ numbers can increase as they’re killed, this isn’t true for all species. Many greatly reduce in number, and can even be driven to extinction. Don’t forget, protected and endangered species are also caught in traps. Actually, trappers can be prosecuted for killing federally protected animals, and they have no way to prevent their capture. Traps kill indiscriminately. And anyone who thinks our pets won’t be killed by traps is living in a fantasy world. It’s not a matter of if, but when and how many. Google it for yourself and watch grown men cry — hardened hunters and trappers — as they recall their dogs’ suffering and death. Will the commissioners take action to remedy their hasty and ill-informed decision to set us in the opposite direction of the rest of the world? If trapping becomes legal here, those of us dedicated to keeping it out of Polk County will work just as hard to change the law again and make it illegal again. We’ll get lots of help from others who’ve done the same in other counties, other states, and other countries. We won’t go away. Trust me, we’re like a dog with a bone. Pun intended. - Susan McNabb, Tryon

Letter to the Editor
Can a christian school survive in Polk County?
To the editor: Home school? Public school? Expensive private school? Local residents have many options to consider when determining the course of education for their children. But one option that Polk County residents have not had recently is an affordable christian school. And while some have seen the obstacles and asked “why bother,” others are seeing the opportunity and are asking, “why not?” The questions

concerning success appear to be many. Foremost, is there an interest in a christian school here? Secondly and possibly more importantly, can enough funds be raised to even get a christian school of off the ground? Also do we have enough people interested in a christian education for their kids to fill it? Are the public schools already fullfilling the needs of Polk County families? After the shooting in Conneticut some of the public dialogue has tried to determine if taking God out of the schools has really been the best option for our children. Some say the advantages of a christian school are plainly evident. Along with a strong spiritual foundation christian schools offer smaller class sizes, less cost to
teach per student, rigorous scholastic standards, and a larger opportunity for parents to be involved. “There’s a gap in choice when it comes to christian education” says local resident Adrian Gschwend Hammond of Green Creek “and we as concerned parents have a responsibility to stand in this particular gap for the sake of our kids. “That’s one of the many reasons Polk County residents Eric and Adrian Hammond have begun to gauge interest in a christian school in Tryon. “It seems like an impossible sea to cross to make this a reality, but we are willing to fight for it if others are willing to stand with us in support.” The cost of starting an academic christian school in Polk County such
as this is conservatively estimated at $14,000 according to an initial budget annalysis. “We know we don’t have the means right now to make this happen on our own,” commented Eric Hammond, but if God is willing He will provide in His time and not our own.” In the end Polk County residents themselves will play a large role in deciding if a Christian school will be viable here. Until then we will all have to wait and see. For more information or to help support the Polk County christian school initiative contact Eric Hammond at 828-489-2697. - Eric Hammond, Tryon

St. Luke’s urges community to know all the risks of obesity Each year obesity related conditions cost over $150 billion and cause an estimated 300,000 premature deaths in the United States. Everyone knows that obesity is linked to heart disease and diabetes, but what about the many other ways obesity can damage your health? St. Luke’s Hospital wants you to be aware of these dangers linked to obesity. Carrying too many pounds may lead to or worsen some types of cancer, arthritis and sleep apnea. A recent poll completed by The Associated Press-Center for Public Affairs Research found that few Americans realize the consequences of obesity and link between obesity and these diseases. When asked about the most serious consequences of obesity, the poll determined that
most can correctly name heart disease and diabetes, but the other consequences aren’t so well known. “People are sometimes shocked to hear how extensive the effects of obesity are,” said Thomas Dashiell, MD and Hospitalist at St. Luke’s Hospital. “For example, obesity increases the risk of developing cancers of the colon, breast and other areas. Plus, being overweight can make it harder to spot tumors early and to treat them.” “If you are obese and have unhealthy eating or activity habits, you have a higher risk for gallstones, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, coronary artery disease (CAD), stroke, and sleep apnea, among other conditions,” Dr. Dashiell added. “Children who are obese are at risk for many of the same
Benefit gospel singing and spaghetti dinner, Feb. 16 For local resident, Jenna Phipps Midway Baptist Church will host a benefit gospel singing and spaghetti dinner for Jenna Phipps. A member of Midway Baptist Church, Phipps was diagnosed with cancer in June and recently found out the cancer has returned. She will continue her treatments at MD Anderson Center, in Houston, Texas. Phipps is 25 and the oldest of four children. Her mother’s family the Stott’s, live in the Columbus/ Landrum area and her dad’s family, lives in Sarasota, Fla. The benefit will be on Saturday, Feb. 16 beginning with the spaghetti dinner from 5-7 p.m. There is a suggested minimum donation per plate. The gospel singing will start at 7 p.m., featuring Greg Day, an award winning singer/songwriter of gospel songs like: “Midnight Cry,”
“Angels in the Room” and others. Broken from Boiling Springs will also perform. Broken is made up of church-born, church-raised Christian people who have a heart for ministry. They bring a unique sound with clarity that bridges the gap of all generations. Broken is a group that loves all genres of music from bluegrass to contemporary. If you would like to know more information, please visit www. mwbaptist.org. Also on this website, you will find a link to Phipps’ blog, “Trials and Blessings,” which provides more information about her and her journey. If you are unable to attend, but would like to make a donation, you can send it to Midway Baptist Church, c/o Jenna Phipps Benefit, at P.O.

long-term health problems.” Knowing more about the many ways obesity affects health could help motivate people to get more active and eat better before full-blown disease strikes, Dr. Dashiell said. “The good news, though, is that weight loss can curtail some obesity-related risks. Losing as little as 5 to 10 percent of body weight offers meaningful health benefits to people who are obese,” he said. Losing weight may not be effortless, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. To achieve long-term results, it’s best to avoid quick-fix schemes and complex regimens. Focus instead on making modest changes to your life’s daily routine. A balanced, healthy diet and sensible, regular exercise are the keys to maintaining your ideal weight. Supporting, educating and

The main theme in this hand is found in the bidding, specifically the three Spade “splinter” bid by North. The average player doesn’t understand the evaluation process after a splinter bid. Actually the evaluation process really is a reevaluation of the value of the cards in your hand in light of partner’s bid. It’s the same reevaluation process one should make in any ongoing auction. Splinter bids are commonly associated with bidding toward a suit contract, with the splinter bid showing shortness in that suit and 4 card trump support for partners last bid suit. However, what some players don’t realize is that all singletons are not assets when the trump suit doesn’t contain controlling strength. In this hand North’s singleton Spade is actually a liability for suit play opposite “slow” Spade tricks in South’s hand. It’s the job of the partner of splinter bidder to reassess the value of the singleton based on his own holding in that suit. If you flip-flop South’s major suit holdings a slam in Hearts only depends on the location of the Club King. After the splinter bid South should realize that based on his own weak holding in the Heart suit that his Spade holding is best suited to playing in NT, hence he bids 3NT. This bid warns partner that his Heart hold is weak. In this hand a 4 Heart contract has no chance for success, while a 3 NT contract can’t be defeated and based on the opening lead may make 4 or 5.
