No noise ordinance for Polk County by Leah Justice

Polk County will not enact a noise ordinance anytime soon after commissioners said they are not in favor of countywide restrictions. Commissioners met Monday, July 8 and heard from residents who urged the county to enact a noise ordinance with stories of fear from excessive gunshots from one community and problems selling property

because of a dirt track from another. Commissioners said they sympathized particularly with Silver Creek community residents. They directed interim county manager Marche Pittman to speak with a magistrate and research any laws that could help residents of the community. The majority of commissioners made it (Continued on page 4)

clear they are not in favor of a noise ordinance, especially countywide, which would have to be done because Silver Creek is located in an unzoned area. Commissioner Ray Gasperson, who placed the item on the agenda asked commissioner chair Michael Gage if he doesn’t care for a noise ordinance at all. Gage responded, “No, I don’t.” Gage said in looking at Henderson County’s noise ordinance, which was used as an example, it’s “super vague,” and “very scary.” Gage said Henderson County’s ordinance says, “unreasonably loud and disturbing noise.” “How do you define that?” Gage asked. “To me this is a scary ordinance because it’s so vague.” He questioned how the county could enforce such an ordinance and said if his kids are playing outside with their friends that could be a violation. Silver Creek residents who attended the meeting indicated they would be in favor of being zoned in order to take care of the problems, but commissioners said they would only zone the area if 100 percent of residents want to be zoned. Marilyn McMinn McCredie said dogs will bark, it’s the nature of the beast and it may also be the nature of the beast of the redneck to fire ammunition. She said she has a neighbor who has limitless amounts of ammunition and celebrated July 4 for four days and nights. She said a few weeks ago she had a problem with her satellite dish and it took her 15 to 20 minutes to convince the service man that the gunshots were harmless. “It’s an embarrassment,” McCredie said. “You do not feel safe.” Julie Hart, who was speaking on behalf of Ronald Dill, who first brought the request for a noise ordinance to the Polk County Planning Board, said many of the Silver Creek residents need sleep because they are constantly being disturbed with loud noise, revving motors and loud arguments. She spoke of 939 noise complaints in the county since 1999, according to the Polk County Communications Department.

Wednesday, July 10, 2013

Hart said there’s nothing law enforcement can do without a noise ordinance. Officers ask people to stop, but they refuse to cooperate, Hart said. She also spoke of property values, saying it would be difficult to get a fair price if a buyer becomes aware of the noise. Commissioner Tom Pack said of the 939 noise complaints, only 632 were within the county’s jurisdiction; the rest were in city limits. Of those 632, Pack said, 60 were related to the Silver Creek community. Silver Creek neighborhood secretary Rita Holden said she’d like to tell commissioners about some of the things happening in her community that she doesn’t imagine commissioners have ever had to deal with; at least she hopes not. “Things like being awakened at 1 in the morning to the sound of gun fire, knowing your child is sleeping in the next room, and you are praying that whoever is shooting off their weapons in the dark is not drunk and are being safe about it,” Holden said. Or maybe you have just settled down for the night after a long hard day at work and just put your kids to bed because they have school early the next day, however, your children will not get sleep tonight, she said, because your neighbors have decided that it is a good time to have a party. She said the music blares so loudly her windows shake. “This does not happen once in a while, but a few times a week,” Holden said. “So you decide to do the neighborly thing and try to reason with them about the matter. The problem with this idea is that these are the kind of people who have the mind set that this is their private land, and they have the right to do anything they want no matter what.” Cindi Staben said she doesn’t have the problems people in Silver Creek do, but she lives across the street from a dirt bike track that goes seven days a week. She spoke of having to sell part of her farm several years ago and upon that sell she really took a beating because of the dirt track. She said she cannot sell her farm and it’s been on the (Continued on page 5)

market for years. “I cannot sell my farm and I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Staben said. “I will go to Raleigh if there isn’t something done.” She encouraged everyone in the vicinity to go to the Polk County Tax Office and get their taxes lowered then go to Raleigh and get them lowered again because, “nobody wants our land.” Commissioner Gasperson said Silver Creek residents have been talking to him and he had hoped the current board would be open to exploring a noise ordinance even if it’s minimal. He said any ordinance will have an impact simply beacause people will realize there is an ordinance which is better than having to get three citizens together to file a lawsuit. Gasperson also said the current board of commissioners implemented noise regulations for White Oak development, which isn’t even in existence yet and Silver Creek residents are having problems now. “My question is, what’s wrong with exploring it?” Gasperson asked. Commissioner Ted Owens said the standards for White Oak are in the development agreement. He asked county attorney Jana Berg if the county could just do an ordinance in the Silver Creek area. Berg said the White Oak development agreement has noise standards as a concession and developers agreed to accept the noise standards. She said White Oak is in a zoned area while Silver Creek is not. Commissioner Pack said he feels for Silver Creek residents but at the same time it’s going to be hard to come up with a noise ordinance that’s not going to impact other people in a negative way. Gage said he talked to a lot of people and they don’t want a noise ordinance. “It’s other people that don’t want to be affected,” Gage said. “It’s not just about one community we’re talking about, it’s about the whole county.” Gage said he does want to help Silver Creek residents and thinks

through law enforcement research the county can help them out. During citizen comments at the end of the meeting, William Day said he was impressed with how commissioners handled the noise ordinance discussion. He said the board didn’t buy into the hysteria and create an ordinance immediately, but rather understood that there are 18,000 to 19,000 people in this county. “You thought about the other people and you wanted to solve their problem and hopefully there is an answer to their problem,” said Day.

Polk County Carnival scheduled for July 10-14 cancelled by Samantha Hurst

Unstable ground conditions and miscommunication can be to blame for the cancellation of the Polk County Carnival originally scheduled to open today at Stearns Park in Columbus. Signs depicting a young girl riding a carousel went up around town about two weeks ago. When the crew came to set up rides this

past Sunday, July 7, however, they had nowhere to go. Smokey Mountain Amusements Inc. owner Billy Clark said amusement rides leftover from the Columbus Fabulous Fourth prevented them from getting on the lot. “They had a carnival already set up over there. They told us there might only be a few blow

ups there but they had a whole carnival still set up,” Clark said. Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said the Bulletin’s call was the first he had heard that the carnival was not coming to town. He said ABC Party Rentals had not moved their equipment over the weekend for fear it would damage the Stearns Park property,

“So we won’t be there; we’ve already moved on to the next location. Our crew is just laying dead because they didn’t really have anywhere else to go.” -- Billy Clark

which remains soggy and muddy from continuing rains. Smokey Mountain Amusements arranged to have inspections completed Tuesday, Clark said, so the rides could be up and running July 10. The carnival was set to be in town through July 14. But with nowhere to place their equipment, Clark said his crew moved on to their next job site. “So we won’t be there; we’ve already moved on to the next location,” Clark said. “Our crew is just laying dead because they didn’t really have anywhere else to go.” Kanipe said the city got a call three weeks ago requesting information about permits. He said he returned calls to let them know that the city did have a temporary fair permit, which required a $300 one-time fee. Kanipe said the town never received that payment, but was expecting the carnival this week. Stearns Park is owned by the county, Kanipe said, but is in the town’s limits, creating a gray area as to which entity is responsible for events coming to the location. Polk County issued the permit for the ABC Party Rentals to be there for the July 4 event. Much of that event was rained out, so Kanipe said the town is talking about trying to bring ABC Party Rentals rides back on Labor Day for families to enjoy. The town plans to shoot off its fireworks display on Labor Day and possibly invite vendors back free of charge for an event that day. Kanipe said he expected council to further discuss Labor Day at its next meeting.

Opinion

Wednesday, July 10, 2013

Ours If you never attend a county commission meeting you might never see how government in Polk County works. You might also never understand in what ways it doesn’t work, especially how it doesn’t always work efficiently. Monday night’s meeting was such an example. The Bulletin’s reporter Leah Justice said the discussion about a board appointment alone felt as if it lasted 45 minutes or more. Isothermal Community College could play a significant role in Polk County’s future. So, having the right person on ICC’s board is crucial. Who that person should be is not our point to argue here. What we think citizens of Polk County should understand is that the discussion Monday night regarding Commissioner Ray Gasperson’s January appointment to the board was just another example of how partisan politics perverts the process. Animosity stirred long ago between political sides – republican and democrats, both to blame – continues to linger and cause the commission to be ineffective. The past board ignored the minority and now the current board is returning the favor. Who knows how long it has been going on but their is no place for it here. Appointments to boards, waterlines and humane society funding are just several of the many issues the Bulletin staff feels have been turned into political folly in recent years. What good does it do a county of 20,000 people to play politics? Moves made by county leaders shouldn’t be based on what side of the party line someone sits. Playing politics certainly isn’t saving anyone money. How many county employees must be paid for additional hours spent at these meetings and for the work after the fact? How much are we paying an attorney for the extra hours? When the county is debating something meaningful – such as the rezoning of the White Oak development, safety in our schools or funding for police – we see the necessity for extended meetings; real work is being done. Meetings shouldn’t be held up, however, because one member feels singled out, nor should an atmosphere exist within our leadership that singles out. We need our leaders to work together to come to compromises and real solutions. This won’t happen if our leaders continue to perpetuate a you versus us mentality. - Tryon Daily Bulletin editorial staff

Learning about deciders from Egypt

best friend is the First Amendment of the US Constitution. The decider — and every country (or organization) needs one — listens to only one group, tribe or sect at his or her peril. People know — even if the decider does not – that the decider cannot make intelligent, fact-based decisions unless he listens to thoughtfully everyone, and then acts in the best interests of all. – Bill Holcomb, Tryon

Appointment to ICC board

viewing all of the documents from the Jan. 7 meeting and the recent e-mails on my re-appointment, he concluded that, even though this action six months ago was somewhat early, it can still be considered a valid appointment. He asked if there had been an acceptance by myself and the college of my reappointment. I said “of course.” Not only did I accept this re-appointment, I was also part of the unanimous vote to accept all of these appointments on Jan. 7, as noted in audio recording. Also there is an acceptance by the college of my re-appointment as noted in the letter dated May 28, 2013 and signed by the chair of the board of trustees, Grady Franklin. Bob Joyce concluded our conversation by stating that there was no compelling reason for Polk County commissioners to take any further action. I hope that my fellow commissioners will do what is right and equable, to do what is in the best interest for all citizens of our county and our local college by moving forward in good faith and by honoring the re-appointment bestowed on me Jan. 7, 2013 to continue serving on the ICC Board of Trustees. – Ray Gasperson, Green Creek

To the editor: What can we learn from recent events in Egypt? We learned a couple Letter of years ago that a dic- to the tatorship can be over- Editor thrown, and a person can be elected to make decisions affecting the country. What have we learned in the past couple of days? Hopefully, the world has learned that a decider’s

Editor’s note: Polk Commissioners voted 4-1 to rescind Commissioner Ray Gasperson’s appointment to the ICC Board of Trustees Monday, July 8. To the editor: On Jan. 7, 2013, when all members of this board gave unanimous support Letter to the appointments to the of commissioners to Editor various committees, boards and commissions, including the one for me to the Isothermal Community College (ICC) Board of Trustees, I was very pleased. The reason I was so pleased was because I felt that after four years I have become an increasingly effective member of our community college board and that I have established an excellent working relationship with the other members of the board of trustees, the college president, members of the administration and faculty. I believe that I am now in a position to bring an even greater focus on enhancing and improving educational opportunities here on our campus of ICC in Polk County. Earlier today I had a lengthy discussion by phone with Bob Joyce, a professor at the N.C. School of Government. After re-

‘Seeing Is Believing’ and ‘Crossing the Line’ open at Upstairs Artspace Collecting art is the theme of a large exhibit opening Friday, July 19 at the Upstairs Artspace and continuing through Aug. 31. “Seeing Is Believing: The Collection of Ray Griffin and Thom Robinson” is a private collection of contemporary art built by two Asheville art lovers with thoughtful planning and a modest budget. A second exhibit, “Crossing the Line,” brings back Polk County artists Bonnie Bardos and Charlotte Fowler who make colorful “found object” art that dares to be different. Bardos and Fowler are inveterate collectors, too of other people’s trash to use in their art. Fowler likes collecting animal bones, coins and old wood. Bardos favors vintage jewelry, silver flatware and ceramic figures. An opening reception is Saturday, July 20, 5 - 8 p.m. preceded at 4 p.m. by an informal conversation with Bardos and Fowler. The 34 artists in “Seeing Is Believing” are represented by one work apiece in a variety of genres: painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, outsider art and more. Most of the artists live in Western North Carolina; some, like Hoss Haley, are quite well known; others are young and emerging, like Julie Armbruster. In addition to Haley and Armbruster, the artists are: Galen Frost Bernard, Courtney Chappell, Margaret Curtis, Julyan Davis, John Dickson, Samuel Dillon, Alli Good, Ursula Gullow, Edwards

Harper, Kevin Hogan, Anna Jensen, Jeffrey Kinzel, Gabriel Kline, Taiyo La Paix, Eric Legge, Nava Lubelski, Brian Mashburn, Linda McCune, Phillip McGuire, Sean Pace, Kevin Palme, Tom Pazderka, William Henry Price, John Rose, Alice Sebrell, Gabriel Shaffer, Micah Amos Sherrill, Mike Smith, David Stewart, Kirsten Stolle, Jill

Stowe and David Vandre. A major attraction of “Seeing” is that, in addition to their work in the collection, most artists have created a new work for the exhibit, which will be for sale. Griffin and Robinson will moderate a panel discussion, “Why Collect Art?” on Tuesday, Aug. 6 at 7 p.m. A documentary film

about famous collectors Herb and Dorothy Vogel will be shown on Tuesday, Aug. 20, at 6:30 p.m. The Upstairs is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Contact: 828-859-2828, www. upstairsartspace.org. - article submitted by Nancy Holmes

Meeting Place ceramics students bring home ribbons The Meeting Place ceramics class has once again proven its talent. At the South Carolina Ceramics Show in Columbia on June 7-8, entries from The Meeting Place took top honors. Eloise Thwing took a Best in Category ribbon and a trophy for her “frogs on stumps.” Anna Winn received a Best in Category for her Native American design vase and two red ribbons for her teapot and vase. James Cowan won a blue ribbon for his Civil War chess pieces. Faye Lynch took a blue for her iridescent rooster. Lloyd Bradley won two blues for his Russian Santa and a beautiful church in the snow. Ruth Clark won a blue on her glazed planter, Helen Heater won a red on her little yellow duck, Billy Johnson took a blue ribbon on his garden rock piece and Ken Williams won a blue ribbon on his

palomino horse. Bonnie Smith received a blue on her puppy planter and a red on her angel. Ceramics instructor Carolyn Bradley said, “We always come away from this show with ribbons and trophies. Our group has a lot of talent and produces beautiful work. But the real treasures in this class are the people who come. We have so much fun just being together and pursuing a common hobby.” The ceramics classes at The Meeting Place are open to all seniors (aged 60 or better) in the area at no charge. The only cost to participants is the cost of the piece to be painted. Classes meet Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9:30 a.m to 2:30 p.m. Instruction is individualized – all skill levels are accommodated.

Second annual Fabulous Fourth Kids’ Chess Tourney a soggy success As part of Columbus’s Fabulous Fourth celebration, young people from around the region gathered once again to compete in a kids’ chess tourney at Stearns Gym. While the pouring rain diminished the attendance, the participants who braved the weather played five 15-minute games, and six cash prizes were presented. Funds for cash prizes were raised by Ernest Giannini through the Tryon Kiwanis Club and by Michael Veatch through the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. Tables, chairs and floor coverings were provided by the Crystal Creek Center, the Sanctuary of Seven Good Days and Morning Glory Farm, all of Mill Spring. Chess boards and sets were donated by Lew Martin of Atlanta. Brian Crissey organized and conducted the event.

Chapman Cultural Center adds Art Market to Sundays Unplugged

Every Sunday afternoon, beginning July 14, local artists will be in the Zimmerli Plaza of Chapman Cultural Center from 1-5 p.m. selling their work. This “Art Market” is the latest added feature to the Sundays Unplugged program, which provides a casual and relaxed venue for everyone to enjoy Spartanburg’s unique culture. At the beginning of the year, Chapman extended its hours to include Sundays 1-5 p.m. to better accommodate patrons’ schedules. Within a few weeks, all museums and galleries were open on Sundays. To add value to the experience, local musicians were brought in to perform free mini-concerts 2-4 p.m. Now, in addition to free music, patrons can enjoy Sunday Art Market, a bazaar of locally

handmade artwork. As always, Artists’ Guild Gallery, Spartanburg Art Museum and Spartanburg Regional History Museum are free, and Spartanburg Science Center is open for a small fee. There are affordable cultural activities and entertainment available for all ages and tastes. The latest addition to Sundays Unplugged – Sunday Art Market – provides vending opportunities to local artists in order to “encourage a culturally vibrant community.” The market begins July 14 and will be open on Sundays year-round. All items for purchase are handmade and come from a wide array of mediums. All sales are received wholly by the artists. Any local artist interested in (Continued on page 23)

Tryon Congregational Church continues Feed A Family program This summer the Tryon Congregational Church (TCC) Board of Outreach is once again feeding hungry families around Polk County. The Feed A Family project began last year as an effort to provide summer food for children in Polk County who participate in the “Backpack Program” during the school year. “Our church has always participated in community outreach,” said Priscilla Yeager, chair of TCC’s outreach board. “This is just another way for us to be of service to the hungry of Polk County. We are especially grateful

for TBO’s help in this important task.” Every Wednesday afternoon, volunteers drive and deliver the ingredients for family meals to 43 families all around Polk County. Six routes cover the county from Saluda to Green Creek, from Mill Spring to Tryon and Columbus. Thermal Belt Outreach (TBO) is partnering with TCC to provide this much needed service. Since TBO can purchase foodstuffs at a reduced rate, dollars can stretch a long way to feed more than 130 people each week. – article submitted by Priscilla Yeager
