Tryon to allow more public comment for picketing ordinance

by Leah Justice

Tryon Town Council is giving the public at least one more chance to make comments prior to adopting an amendment to its code of ordinances for parades and pickets within town.

Commissioners held a public hearing April 16 and discussed the latest changes to the draft. Only two residents asked questions and council held a general discussion about the proposal.

The draft includes that any-

• Picketing (continued from page 1)

One question raised last month by council was how far away from open businesses the town could restrict picketers.

Town attorney Bailey Nager said he and town employees surveyed downtown and determined that a radius of 10 feet is appropriate. He said if you restrict it to a 10-ft. radius there would be room on the sidewalk to picket but if you restrict it larger than 10 ft. it would exclude any areas on the

sidewalk to picket.

Nager said commissioners should also note there is language in the ordinance that says picketers cannot interfere with pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk. In the existing town ordinance there was a distance of 15 feet required between picketers with the current draft including no distance required between picketers due to the language being problematic, according to Nager.

Tryon officials have taken caution in drafting the ordinance to not infringe on a per-

son’s First Amendment right to free speech. The town has discussed the ordinance over the last few months, held a public hearing last week and decided not to adopt the ordinance until next month after another public commenting opportunity.

Commissioner Doug Arbogast asked if the town could refuse someone’s permit for a parade.

Nager said there is a list of reasons why the town could refuse a parade, including any wrongdoings the person or group may have done in past

“As long as they are orderly and not trespassing the time and place doesn’t enter it.”

-- Commissioner George Baker

parades or if the timing is bad because of traffic reasons. If it’s anything that pertains to free speech, Nager said, the town could face trouble if they refuse them their free speech.

Commissioner Roy Miller asked if the town could establish time periods that picketing could occur in town.

Commissioner George Baker said he thinks creating time zones is something the town can’t do.

“As long as they are orderly and not trespassing the time and place doesn’t enter [the situation],” said Baker.

Nager said there is language that picketing can’t be done in front of an individual residence and that language has held up in court.

Discussions of an ordinance first surfaced following an Oct. 21, 2012 demonstration downtown where more than 50 members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church gathered along the sidewalks holding signs against abortion.

Commissioners met the next month and asked if there is anyway to regulate future demonstrations with some saying there was an issue with the demonstration blocking open businesses.

The current draft states that picketing cannot be done within a 10-foot radius of the entrance to an open business.

Picketing in front of closed businesses will not be regulated.

The ordinance will be considered during council’s May meeting after another opportunity for public comment.

The draft ordinance can be viewed on the town’s website at www.tryon-nc.com under news/events or a copy can be requested at town hall.

Recognizing early signs of laminitis and colic in horses

by Kirk Gollwitzer

Editor’s note: Watch weekly on Thursdays for equestrian-themed articles from freelance writer Kirk Gollwitzer.

As the spring days become warmer, and the grasses grow thicker and greener, many people are suffering from the uncomfortable effects of grass and tree pollen.

At this time each year, it is important that horse owners pay particular attention to the grazing habits of their herd. Harmful effects of a sudden high-calorie intake, coupled with increased levels of sugars, caused by photosynthesis, can have detrimental effects on horses.

With the slightest change of color in the spring grass, horses will instantly notice and begin to take full advantage of even the smallest pieces of greenery. With just a few more doses of rain, grass and weeds will begin growing rapidly, and this will be the time when care takers should pay particular attention to

the diet of their horses. While there are many things to watch out for during the spring, topping the list of concerns are laminitis and colic, which can, if left untreated, result in devastating consequences.

While many horses seem to be immune to the increased levels of sugars and grass volume, others are highly sensitive. Horses with a propensity for chronic laminitis react differently to the increased amounts of sugar in the vegetation they consume. The delicate laminae tissue on the souls of the feet become inflamed and begin to change with respect to the neighboring coffin bone.

Owners should periodically inspect the feet of their horse for sensitivity, color changes, and temperature differences. When horses begin to show signs of laminitis, owners must contact their veterinarian immediately, and move to corrective measures with regard to

• Laminitis (continued from page 10)

resulting in severe lameness and sometimes death.

According to Dr. James Orsini, associate professor of surgery at the George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals, New Bolton Center, “The horse standing in a founder stance, will attempt to decrease the load on the affected feet. If it has laminitis in the front hooves, it will bring its hind legs underneath its body and put its forelegs out in front.”

Another warning, with regard to the consumption of the rich spring grass, has to do with weight management and colic prevention, which is caused by increased amounts of gas or a sudden impaction of grass, hay, water and grain.

During the spring and summer months, horses can eat up to three to four times what they would normally consume during cooler seasons. Owners must monitor caloric levels and strive to balance their intake with the digestive output. Colic, on the other hand, should not be considered a mere condition of discomfort, but the leading cause of premature death in the domestic horse population.

By paying strict attention to your horse’s comfort profile, during a time that should be considered the colic-season, horse owners can catch this potentially fatal condition early. Frequently, horses that are experiencing the discomforts associated with colic will stand in awkward positions, appearing to contort themselves to a point of relief. Other horses will moan, attempt to urinate, stretch, roll, pace, lay down and rise more often. Anytime a horse appears to take on an odd physical stance, closer examination is called for, along with immediate contact to a veterinarian. “Although colic surgery was considered hopeless 60 years ago, today it can save horses from the devastating diseases and give them a long life, free of complications and recurrence,” said David E. Freeman, MVB, PhD. Horses, as humans, suffer from the similar effects of tree and grass pollen, in their eyes, skin, digestive and respiratory systems. Veterinar-

ians can prescribe similar treatments for the relief of these seasonal discomforts, with a full line of equine antihistamines, anti-inflammatory, eye drops, and other drugs.

Below is a list of recommendations horse owner can follow this spring in an attempt to stave off the uncomfortable and sometime harmful effects of allergies: • Do not allow horses to graze within 24-hours after a pasture has been cut.

• Dampen hay rations with water, in an effort to keep the dust particles to a minimum.

• Gently wipe down the horse’s face, eyes, and nostrils with warm water and a clean cloth, removing all remnants of dust and pollen.

• Brush the horse more frequently to remove pollen, dust particles and other irritants from the areas on the horse where this material tends to accumulate.

• Ask a veterinarian about vitamin supplements, which can boost the horse’s immunities, reduce inflammation and bolster their own defense mechanisms.

As wildflowers and weeds pop up this spring, keep a watch on your horses health.

• Assure that all water troughs are cleaned more frequently and adequately filled with a fresh supply, for the increase demand during the warmer temperatures.

Responsible horse owners should not ignore the sometimes

subtle changes in the spring vegetation and airborne allergens, for while they might be mildly irritating for humans, untreated conditions in horses, resulting from allergic reactions, can be painful and lead to major downstream complications.

Would you let a fox guard your hen house?

Some legislators in Raleigh seem to think it would be a good idea when it comes to your right to know what the city or county is up to.

House Bills 504 and 755 and Senate Bills 287 and 186 would allow officials to avoid putting a public notice in the place where citizens know to find them, in the local newspaper.

Zoning hearings. Changes in city ordinances. Bids on public projects. When government only has to let you know about these by putting items on its own website, without the independent verification of the newspaper, your rights are put in jeopardy.

Officials could simply say, “TRUST US, we placed a notice on our website. Sorry if you didn’t see it when it was online.”

There is a better way. House Bill 723 ensures continued publication in newspapers and adds notification on newspaper websites.

Tell your legislator to vote for HB 723 and against all other public notices legislation!

Throughout Art Trek, encaustic artist Becky Collins will show how to paint with hot wax. Six other Garden Gallery artists will appear at various times to talk about and demonstrate their art and craft. (photo submitted)

Seven Art Trek artisans appear at Thompson’s Garden Gallery This weekend as you plot your tours to Art Trek galleries and open studios of area artists and craftsmen, be sure to visit the new gallery in town —Thompson’s Garden Gallery at 83 Palmer Street. It’s very accessible — behind Stott’s Ford and around the corner from Skyuka Fine Art and Green River galleries on Trade Street. Too, Tryon Painters & Sculptors on Maple Street is less than a block away.

The Garden Gallery represents more than 30 artisans. During Art Trek, however, the gallery will feature special exhibits and demonstrations by Matt Cable (mixed media), Becky Collins (encaustic), Joe Cooper (coppersmithing), Grace Lertora (painting and collage), Patricia Roshaven (painting and photography) and Mara and Ford Smith (writing and photography).

Over the Art Trek weekend, these artisans will be giving demonstrations and talks. On Saturday, Lertora will work on a collage and answer questions. Matt Cable will talk about how he integrates various techniques (painting, drawing, mapping, writing and photography) into original works on canvas and

salvaged materials. Throughout the day, gallery manager Becky Collins will give encaustic demonstrations and speak about the process. On Saturday morning, Joe Cooper will appear and show how he works with copper. Saturday afternoon, Patricia Roshaven will talk about her photography and how it influences her paintings.

On Sunday afternoon, Cable and Collins will continue demonstrating mixed media and encaustic techniques. Ford Smith will answer questions about digital photography, the process of printing with archival inks on archival papers – including how to tone-map your printer for realistic images. In addition, Mara Smith will be on hand with copies of their published books.

To give you an idea of what you’ll be seeing and learning, each Art Trek artisan at the Garden Gallery has described his or her work.

Mixed-media artist Matt Cable focuses on contemporary reflections of nature. He said he feels, “Art should be accessible affordable, and appreciated. My artistic process (Continued on page 15)

“Born in Argentina, my Latino heritage inspires my passion for color and contrast,” comments painter and collage maker Grace Lertora. “I get excited by forms, spaces, and their relationships – both figurative and abstract. It will be my pleasure to share my excitement about collage with art trekkers.”

Artist Patricia Roshaven shares “While digital photography requires carrying out the technical demands of camera, computer and editing software to create a beautiful image, I enjoy painting the most without any thought of technique or final image. I love both processes.”

Photographer Ford Smith re-
