Planning board recommends White Oak rezoning by Leah Justice
White Oak Plantation received its first approval last week to become an equestrian destination in Green Creek. The Polk County Planning Board unanimously approved
recommending rezoning part of the approximate 1,000-acre subdivision as a new district called Equestrian (E). The planning board met Thursday, March 14 and heard from Tryon Equestrian Proper-
ties LLC representatives about their plans. The planning board recommended the rezoning application on the condition that it is (Continued on page 4)

attached to the development agreement after hearing concerns from nearby residents. Resident Jason Head said he is not fighting to stop an equestrian center, as he and others want to see an equestrian center built. His concerns, he said, is what if the current plan fails and the property is sold. The person who purchases it can do whatever they want with the new zoning, he said. “Do I think they are going to build a fabulous facility,” Head asked. “Yes.” Head said what they are trying to accomplish can be done with current county zoning by obtaining a conditional use permit. Head also raised concerns that he and others have tried to set up a meeting with the developers to talk about the project, but have been unsuccessful. Mark Bellissimo, co-partner in Wellington, Fl., (Palm Beach International Equestrian Center) said when they took over in 2007, Wellington was a five to seven week horse show and when he and his wife and Roger Smith (with Tryon Equestrian Properties and Wellington partner) and his wife went there they saw it as a different world. Bellissimo said the families see the Polk County property as an equestrian lifestyle for the whole community. He said Wellington was really exclusive and they changed that to be open to a wider range of people. They expanded the shows to 42 weeks and people began coming for longer periods of time, he said. Bellissimo said one of the first things they did in Florida was open it up to the schools and made it much more community active, which is what they plan to do in Polk County. He spoke of Wellington now doing fundraising for the community, inviting schools to sing the national anthem at the events, inviting seniors to come just to watch the horse as well as having Olympian horse riders. “It’s centered around the love

of the horse regardless of your economic standing or interest in horses,” Bellissimo said. Bellissimo also said he and his daughter created a charity challenge four years ago in Wellington and hopes to have the same type of challenge in Polk County within the development’s first year. The challenge in Wellington allowed local charities to apply and they assigned them to 34 equestrian teams for a race to raise money for the local charities. The first year the event raised $500,000, Bellissimo said, and last year the event raised $1.5 million. “The relevance of that is that not only do we engage the schools, but now charities,” Bellissimo said. Bellissimo said what they did in Wellington was change the center to very engaging and affordable for the whole community. He said it’s no longer a show for a small group of people. Whether you want to ride a carousel, watch an event or eat food, the center is for everyone, Bellissimo said. He also said the partners do not want to create another Wellington in Polk County, but think this is a great place, especially due to its equestrian history and climate to create “a world that doesn’t exist.” “Tryon is not Wellington and Wellington is not Tryon,” Bellissimo said. “We have no interest in making Tryon Wellington.” He also said the partners, which he envisions as he and his family, Smith and his family and probably four other families think White Oak will be a 10 to 15 year project. He said they inherited a difficult structure in Wellington and learned from their mistakes there. “Here is a blank slate,” Bellissimo said. “I hope we can work to make it exciting for everyone, not just someone who owns a horse.” The planning board and Tryon Equestrian Properties’ attorney Billy McFarland addressed some concerns regard(Continued on page 6)

Dalton selected as Isothermal’s next president Walter Dalton has been selected as the next president of Isothermal Community College. The Isothermal Board of Trustees made the announcement following a brief special meeting on Friday morning March 15. During the special meeting, the board publicly approved the hiring of Dalton and his contract unanimously after a short closed session. Dalton’s appointment is pending approval by the North Carolina Board of Community Colleges. The announcement was attended by approximately 175 people – mostly college employees -- in the college’s library auditorium. “We believe Walter Dalton will bring exceptional leadership to the college,” said Grady Franklin, chairman of the Isothermal Board of Trustees. “He has served the residents of Rutherford County, Polk County and the state of North
Carolina well for many years and we look forward to seeing the great things he will do here. The trustees saw the chance to hire Dalton as a unique opportunity, because, after all, it’s not often that two governors – one from each party – and the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff recommend a candidate for a job.” Dalton will replace Dr. Myra Johnson, who is retiring after nearly six years in the position and a 33-year career in the community college system. “I look forward to being a part of an institution that stands out in the best community college system in the nation,” said Dalton. “I am glad the college puts so much focus on learning, because I have a lot of learning to do. “I am very honored and privileged to accept this position. And I look forward to working with

And, working together, we will move forward.” Dalton was North Carolina’s lieutenant governor until recently. In the November 2012 election, he was the state’s Democratic candidate for governor. Currently, he is teaching at Gardner-Webb University (GWU) and serves as special assistant to GWU’s president. Dalton is an attorney who served in the North Carolina Senate from 1996 to 2007.

ing the district such as lighting and height of buildings. The Equestrian district draft includes a maximum of 50 ft. height of buildings and restrictions on lighting, including that lights be turned off by 11:30 p.m. Some planning board members expressed concerns over how a development such as White Oak will change the community. Christel Walters said some in the county have wondered why a project such as White Oak would want to come to Polk County. “I think you want to attract the people that are first class,” Walters said. “Some of the people who’ve lived here a long time may not be able to afford to live here. How do we deal with that?” Bellissimo said that’s a struggle that everyone faces and there will be elevated property values in some areas. But, he said Smith

He also said this will be an opportunity to create jobs and for others to benefit. “I don’t think it will be to a point it will push people out,” Bellissimo said. “Hopefully the economic benefits will offset the change and the growth.” Other concerns included involving the community in meetings during the process, especially surrounding neighbors. Planning board members Susan Welsh and Lisa Krolak said they’d like for community meetings to be held, with Krolak mentioning Foster Creek Development’s process of holding several community meetings prior to being approved in Columbus. The next step in the process is for the Polk County Board of Commissioners to approve the rezoning, which will require a public hearing. Commissioners will also have to approve a development agreement for the project.

Saluda Bike & Hike: piece of respite for cyclist, hikers by Mark Schmerling
Do you need a bicycle wheel trued? How about a place to rest and take in some good nutrition, after cycling up the Saluda Grade or through the Greenville Watershed? For basic bicycle repairs and rentals, to hiking maps, healthful snacks and a place to relax, visit Saluda Bike & Hike. It’s just a few minutes’ ride for those needing respite and refreshment after conquering the steep switchbacks on Green River Cove Road. The immense popularity of hiking and bicycling in the foothills region should be a perfect match for the recently-opened shop, which caters to folks who ride and wander along local roads and trails. Owner Jerry Cole enthusiastically offers needed services and products from 2-6 p.m. Fridays, and 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Cole is not a bicyclist, but he enjoys vintage motorcycles and has a background in motorcycle repair. Cole first visited Saluda 34 years ago, to kayak. “I lived up here (Saluda) for four years, and saw the need for a shop like this,” he said. “There was no place for them (bicyclists) to stop. (Here) they can get something to eat and drink that’s healthy, and have a place to sit down (without having to pedal).” Services and items for sale

Carolina Camera Club meets March 19 in Mahler Room The Carolina Camera Club is reviewing the recommendations of the Photographic Society of America (PSA) for creating award winning photographs.

Anyone attending the March meeting is encouraged to review these recommendations before the meeting. Copies can be obtained by sending an email to Don Crow at don_crow@bellsouth.net or Patricia Roshaven at roshaven@gmail.com.

As an exercise, members will review each others’ photographs, based on the PSA guidelines. The next Carolina Camera Club will be Tuesday, March 19, 6:30 p.m., in the Tryon Fine Arts Center’s Mahler Room. Meetings are open to everyone interested in photography. - article submitted

Keep ‘Em Home program grows at Foothills Humane Society The Keep ‘Em Home Program at Foothills Humane Society – FHS – provides pet food to local families in need. Created in 2011 with the help of Debbie and James Carter, Wal-Mart employees and volunteers at the humane society, FHS now receives as much as two tons of dog and cat food biweekly. Initially the Carters used their truck to carry food Wal-Mart donated from its distribution center in Shelby to the humane society’s shelter in Columbus. Now these duties are completed with the help of volunteers. FHS gives most of the food to the Meeting Place for Meals on Wheels and to the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry. Local pet owners who wish to keep their dogs and cats at home, but need food assistance, take the rest. Foothills Humane Society
wishes to acknowledge the generosity of Wal-Mart for providing this much needed pet food. Volunteers give their time and vehicles to make the Keep ‘Em Home Program a success. Transportation Crew volunteers are Wayne Inks, Bryan Corpening, Jim Scott, Emily Clark, Joe Eskridge and Nowell Guffey. Bagging Crew members are Sally Orrill, Dee Owen, Joan Lonnes, Kelly Noegel and Emily Clark. If you would like to volunteer or wish to donate dog or cat food (never enough), please contact Steve King at 828-859-7054 or Foothills Humane Society at 828-863-4444. The Program can always use more help. - article submitted by Steve Kin and Joyce Cox

Taking a trip to Courthouse Creek Falls There’s a good chance WNC has more water waterfalls per square inch than anyplace in the world. That may seem a bit Life extreme, and I have Outside not done the research to Four Walls find out if by Rob that is true, McComas but even if it doesn’t, WNC has more waterfalls than most people will see in a lifetime. There are some big name waterfalls in our area. Whitewater, Toxaway, Connestee, Linville, the list is a long one. And while I enjoy them all, there is something about the ones not often seem that has a special draw to them. I have discovered many over the years, most while fishing the Courthouse Creek Falls

A short distance on up Courthouse creek you will find one of the tallest falls I have seen. It comes strait off the side of the mountain. It would be rather hard to see in the summer, but the bareness of winter reveals it nicely. The fall appears to go on forever. I really want to get a good shot of this fall but I haven’t found a very good or safe way to get it. Travel on up the dirt road and ford the creek in your vehicle. After you travel a ways you will find a pull off for the trailhead on your left that leads to the very photo worthy Courthouse falls. The path is well worn and a very short but moderate hike leads to the base of the falls. Most folks turn around after viewing the falls, or continue back up to the trail that leads along another feeder creek. But just below Courthouse falls, there is another
creek that junctions Courthouse from the right as you walk down. Go up this creek a hundred or so yards to a very unique fall. its just a couple hundred yards from the big fall, can be faintly heard from the trail above, but has no access other than trail busting or wading the creek (my preference). Upstream from the parking area there is another feeder creek that forks to the right as you go upstream. This is a tough route, but there are several small falls that probably are rarely viewed. I like this creek and the many falls that it flows over. This is not an unusual creek but the norm. so if you like waterfalls and exploration, pick you a creek and take off. There’s no telling what you might find around the bend. Just because its not on a map doesn’t mean it’s not worth finding.

wild trout streams that flow down the steep draws of the Appalachian mountains. Many of them have no name, no directions on how to get there, or no star on a tourist map. But these “off the beaten path� falls are worth the efforts to locate them. Courthouse creek is home to Courthouse falls. A fairly well known set of falls. But the forest service road in takes you by or near several lesser known ones. The first one is shortly after the turn off of highway 215. it’s a feeder creek that runs parallel to highway 215 and falls into Courthouse creek. Its literally just a few feet from the highway and its probably safe to say countless people pass it and never know its there.
