County GIS back up and running by Leah Justice

After being down for the past couple of weeks, Polk County residents can once again access the county’s geographical information system (GIS). Interim county manager Marche Pittman said on Monday, July 1, the GIS server experienced a hard drive

failure that corrupted all data stored on the server and brought the website down. The county’s GIS department sought the help of Highland Mapping and ESRI to gather and recompile the data and get a new site back online.

Landrum to consider implementing vendor ordinance by Samantha Hurst

Dark Corner Diner owner Virginia Maclure anxiously awaits Landrum council members’ next move as the city considers implementing a vendor ordinance. Maclure spoke before the council at its Tuesday, July 9 meeting and said she hoped Landrum would further a positive working relationship with her gourmet food truck. “I’m grateful, I’ve always been for the city’s cooperation,” she said before the meeting. But now Maclure is concerned a new vendor ordinance might prevent her from doing business in the city. “In order to be successful for myself and to continue to contribute to the city in a positive way, I need your [the council’s] help … Success for my business, for other businesses and the city is my goal,” Maclure told council.

Maclure said Dark Corner Diner is currently limited to parking in one place, once a week. She said that forces her to turn down business. Maclure said she believes the city benefits from small businesses such as Dark Corner Diner. She said just like other businesses she has to pay permit fees and taxes, as well as money on gasoline, food and service purchases. “Attraction of young and old foodies who come to Landrum for a different food experience also adds to the revenue because they continue on to other stores and spend more dollars in town,” Maclure said. Access to shopping is one of the main reasons, she said, her customers want her to stay in Landrum. She said the Hospice Thrift Barn, the Landrum Public Library and other businesses have recently requested that she park

near their locations. At one point Maclure had set up at the Thrift Barn near I-26, but was promptly told city regulations did not allow for her to do so. City Administrator Caitlin Martin said while the city does not currently have an ordinance restricting vendors, it does have restrictions on items being sold temporarily from sidewalks. Now the city is reviewing vendor ordinances of neighboring towns. Mayor Robert Briggs asked Maclure to be patient as the city considers its options. “[Dark Corner Diner was] the first applicant we’ve had for street vendors and since you, we’ve had several others,” Briggs said. “If you’ve been keeping up with what other cities are doing around us – Greenville, Spartanburg and Asheville – it got to be a problem and so what the cities did was they

had to come up with an ordinance to deal with vendors and that’s where we’re at.” One of several points of consideration is the use of city power. Maclure’s initial agreement with the city allowed her to connect to city power through a lamppost on N. Trade Ave. three or four hours, once a week. (Continued on page 4)

• Ordinance (continued from page 3)

Maclure said she had previously worked out an agreement to use city power so she would not have to rely on a loud generator, which she said would negatively impact the atmosphere at the food truck and potentially cause noise grievances for surrounding businesses. “I’ve always offered to pay for the power; it’s a minuscule amount of power,” Maclure said. Mayor Briggs agreed the amount of power used by Maclure was expected to be so small the city did not request payment for its use. He said that amount would change, however, if more than one vendor requested to use power. “If 10 or 15 wanted to use our power it could be a problem,” Briggs said. “We need to come up

with a fair policy that is positive for everybody … Give us a little bit of time to come up with that ordinance.” Briggs added that Landrum is looking at creating an ordinance governing what vendors can and cannot do within city limits, but said they aren’t sure yet what that ordinance would entail. Council members recently instructed Martin to look into other surrounding ordinances for guidance. Mayor Briggs said Maclure would be allowed to continue operations at the end of Trade Street by the gazebo until further notice. “I think the goal is to redo their vendor ordinance. They say the reason is other vendors are trying to get into the city – not just food vendors, but other vendors – and they say they want to be fair to everybody, which I understand,” Maclure said.

Polk rescinds commissioner’s ICC board appointment by Leah Justice

The Polk County Board of Commissioners rescinded their Jan. 7 decision to reappoint commissioner Ray Gasperson to the Isothermal Community College (ICC) Board of Trustees. The decision to rescind the appointment was approved by a 4-1 vote during the commissioners’ July 8 meeting, with Gasperson voting against and commissioner chair Michael Gage, vice chair Ted Owens and commissioners Tom Pack and Keith Holbert approving the motion. County attorney Jana Berg began the discussion saying she was asked to research the appointment that occurred shortly after the new board of commissioners was sworn in. Berg said that commissioners believed all commissioner appointments, to volunteer boards made on Jan. 7 were ex officio, or liaison appointments but the ICC board is not one of those appointments. The ICC board has two Polk County residents, who are both voting members. Gasperson’s

appointment did not expire until June 30. “Logically I can see where all the appointments that were made were intended for ex officio,” Berg said. She said that any citizen can sit on the board and the county’s policy is to advertise for that position to be filled. prior to Jan. 7 the position wasn’t advertised. The county did advertise for the position in the Bulletin prior to the July 8 meeting when Gasperson’s appointment was rescinded. As of the July 8 meeting the county has two applications for the ICC board, including Gasperson’s and another from Polk resident Don Hoffman. Gasperson said all commissioners gave unanimous support of his reappointment on Jan. 7 and he feels that after four years of serving on the ICC board he has become an increasingly effective member. He said he spoke with the N.C. Institute of Government’s Bob Joyce, who after reviewing documents concluded that even though the

reappointment was made early, it is still valid and there is no reason for the board of commissioners to take any further action. Berg said commissioners have three options: to do nothing; to ratify Gasperson’s appointment made on Jan. 7, effective July 1 or to rescind Gasperson’s Jan. 7 appointment, review applications and make the board appointment at the Aug. 5 board of commissioner meeting. There were seven residents who spoke of Gasperson’s service to the ICC board over the last four years and urged commissioners to honor the appointment. Sally Jo Carter said she has been connected to the ICC board in many ways and for years there was no representation on the board for Polk County because vacancies could not be filled. She said she was an ICC board member when Gasperson joined the board and he was dedicated, highly thought of and did well. “Many didn’t come (to meet-

ings),” said Carter. “He did. He and I were there. Polk County was represented. I firmly believe you want to improve conditions in this county and I hope you will do what is right and what is beneficial to this county and continue Ray Gasperson’s term on the ICC board.” Renée McDermott said she’s heard from an excellent source that the state level Republican Party had a “hissy fit” over the Rutherford County Board of Commissioners’ selection of a Democratic ICC board member and sent out letters to Rutherford County Republican board members chastising them for doing so. “There’s good reason to believe that your sudden desire to rescind commissioner Gasperson’s selection is because you’ve become the targets of that hissy fit too,” McDermott said. “That’s not a sufficient, or a legal reason to rescind your appointment. It’s just cowardly.” (Continued on page 9)

(continued from page 8)

McDermott said if commissioners rescind the appointment, “for purely partisan reasons, and that would be the only reason for you to rescind,” it will be the precedent that they set for the new majority that will inevitably be elected one day. Otherwise, she said, commissioners will need to tell their appointees that their appointments may not survive the next election. “You’ve already damaged people’s faith in Polk County badly enough,” said McDermott. “Don’t further damage the public’s view of Polk County government.” Gasperson is the only Democrat on the board of commissioners with the other four members Republican. Deborah Odonell said she did some research to see the job description of an ICC board member. She said she also called some of the members and got glowing reports about Gasperson. “I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to reappoint him,”

said Odonell. “I think the experience he gained volunteering for four years would make him even better.” Rachel Goettert said Polk should keep Gasperson on the ICC board because he has done good work. She also said rescinding the appointment will set a bad precedence and commissioners should follow through with what they voted on. Gage admitted he did not realize what type of appointment the ICC board was when he made the appointment and said the fact is the county is supposed to take applications for the appointment. Owens said the only reason Gasperson’s ICC appointment was listed during the Jan. 7 meeting was because he is a commissioner. When new boards of commissioners are elected it is common practice to reassign commissioners to volunteer boards. Owens said rescinding Gasperson’s appointment doesn’t mean Gasperson can’t be appointed to the ICC board. “Rescinding this does not mean Ray can’t serve,” Owens said. “He can still be considered.”

SAP needs help to carry out important work We have all read in newspapers or seen stories on TV about our men and women who have been wounded while serving our country. We have also heard about the plight of our abandoned or lost dogs filling up shelters. Both need our attention and both are worthy causes, man/ woman and best friend in need of some love and healing. Thanks to some local Foothills Humane Society volunteers, Ann Goodheart, Sev Bennett and Mary Ann Merrill, we have a unique opportunity to not only help those who have served our country but at the same time help some of their best friends. An article they read in a magazine inspired these volunteers, and in 2012 the “SAP” Service Animal Project was born. SAP identifies and assesses shelter and rescue dogs for characteristics needed in service dogs for wounded warriors. Through SAP the dogs are fostered in a volunteer’s home, receive basic obedience training

and then are transported to training John.

SAP receives no government funds and is supported entirely by donations of goods, services and monetary gifts. All labor is voluntary and only a very small portion of the donations received is used for administrative expenses. SAP needs your help to carry on this important work. To donate make checks payable to “FHS Service Animal Project” and mail to PO Box 126, Tryon NC 28782. Dedicated fosters are also needed and any spare “miles” are useful to help offset the cost of hotel rooms for the dogs when being transported to Florida. You can contact SAP via email at: serviceanimalproject@ windstream.net. Hats off to you ladies and the many volunteers for helping to save man’s best friend and our wounded warriors at the same time.

New documentary on Leopold showing at Walnut Creek Preserve The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC), in partnership with Walnut Creek Preserve, will host a free screening of Green Fire, the first full-length, high definition documentary film ever made about legendary conservationist Aldo Leopold. The film will be shown at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve on July 19 at 7 p.m. The event is open to all ages and is free of charge. Light refreshments will be served. The Green Fire film explores Aldo Leopold’s life in the early part of the 20th century and the many ways his land ethic idea continues to be applied all over the world today. The film portrays how Leopold’s vision of a community that cares about both people and land — his call for a land ethic — ties modern conservation stories together and offers inspiration and insight for the future. “Aldo Leopold’s legacy lives on today in the work of people and

organizations across the nation and around the world,” said Pam Torlina, PACland protection specialist. “What is exciting about Green Fire is that it is more than just a documentary about Aldo Leopold; it also explores the influence his ideas have had in shaping the conservation movement as we know it today, by highlighting some really inspiring people and organizations doing great work to connect people and the natural world in ways that even Leopold might not have imag-

ined. We are certain it will spur residents of Polk County to continue existing land ethic programs and to find new ways we can be stewards of our precious environment.” Green Fire illustrates Leopold’s continuing influence by exploring current projects that connect people and land at the local level. Viewers will meet urban children in Chicago learning about local foods and ecological restoration. They’ll learn about ranchers in Arizona and New Mexico who

maintain healthy landscapes by working on their own properties and with their neighbors, in cooperative community conservation efforts, and they’ll meet wildlife biologists bringing back threatened and endangered species from cranes to Mexican wolves to the landscapes where they once thrived. For the past 24 years, PAC has served as the local land trust for Polk County and surrounding areas (Continued on page 21)

Lorraine Jordan and Carolina Road sign with Pinecastle Records

St. Luke’s Hospital presents...

Osteoporosis:

A Debilitating Disease that can be Prevented & Treated

Pinecastle Records in Columbus recently announced they have signed Lorraine Jordan and Carolina Road to their roster. A new single, “All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye,” written by Terry Foust and Ray Edwards, from their upcoming self-titled album is now available for radio stations everywhere from AirPlay Direct. The band’s traditional sound and longevity have made it a favorite among bluegrass festival-goers across the country for more than a decade. The new release will be available Sept. 10 and features the baritone vocals and guitar picking of Tommy Long, along with outstanding traditional musicians Josh Goforth on the fiddle and Ben Greene on the banjo, who have been with the band nine years. Band leader Lorraine Jordan on mandolin and tenor vocals, along with John Bradley on bass, round

out this extremely talented band. As the founding member and band leader for Carolina Road, Jordan’s showmanship and chemistry with the audience makes the group one of the most popular bands among bluegrass fans today. Jordan has fronted Carolina Road for more than a decade and has seven national recordings to her credit. The band has earned a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in bluegrass, averaging 60 bluegrass festivals in the U.S. and Canada annually along with headlining the Bluegrass Cruise and hosting the Canadian Bluegrass Awards. Carolina Road’s performance is a hard driving traditional sound with invigorating instrumentals, smooth blending vocals, and all the energy that you can stand. - article submitted by Pinecastle Records

Eating a healthy breakfast in any way is better than none Most of us know the word breakfast means to break the fast from the night before, but here are some things you might not know. Originally, dinner, not breakfast was referred to as the first meal of the day. It was derived from the French word “disner” meaning breakfast. Today’s American breakfast is a reflection of the history of our country. Some typical breakfast foods include corn muffins and grits (introduced by colonists), potato pancakes and doughnuts (brought by immigrants) and corn flakes and granola (from 19th century food reformers who advocated a healthy diet). Other foods like waffles, coffee, Pop Tarts, cereals, low-fat bacon, cholesterol-free Egg Beaters and instant oatmeal were partially the result of modern convenience, nutrition legislation and scientific advancement. We’ve heard “breakfast is the most important meal of the day,” but why? It’s

that’s okay. Fruit, nuts, rice cakes, simple, really.

Saluda summers are all about family of all kinds “Wildflowers lift faces wide with light -- full moons risen in a constellation of grass.” – Paulann Petersen, Poet Laureate of Oregon Despite rain showers on the 50th annual Coon Dog Day, the parade went on, people came prepared with umbrellas. Dogs of every kind sniffed the breeze: scents of barbecue, grilled sausages, funnel cakes, hot pavement — a July must. Rain held back enough for folks marching, dancing, twirling, driving and waving. Happy kids scrambled for candy. Beneath Don Mintz’s red and white tent, Saluda folks enjoyed barbecue. Don was smiling over news of a future grandbaby: you cannot beat that glow of someone who loves their family, lighting up the rainy day with a grin of complete happiness.

Debt counseling programs can help seniors with financial problems Dear Savvy Senior, What resources can you recommend to help seniors with financial problems? I hate to admit it, but I’ve fallen behind on my house payments and have accumulated quite a bit of credit card debt over the past few years. Where can we get help? - Indebt at 70 Dear Indebt, There are actually a number of free and low-cost resources available today that can help seniors who are struggling with credit card and/or mortgage debt. Here’s where you can turn to for help. Credit counseling To help you get a handle on your credit card debt, a good place to start is at a credit-counseling agency. These are non-profit agencies that offer free financial education and advice on how to handle financial problems. And if your debt is significant, they can set you up in a debtmanagement plan (DMP) that allows a counselor to negotiate with your creditors to lower your interest rates and eliminate any late fees and other penalties. The agency will then act as a consolidator, grouping your debts together into one payment that you would make, and distributes those funds to your creditors. Most agencies

charge a one-time $30 set-up fee and a monthly maintenance fee of around $20 for a DMP. To locate a credible agency in your area, use the National Foundation for Credit Counseling website at debtadvice.org or call 800-388-2227. Do not use a for-profit debt settlement company that claims to settle all your debt, or cut it in half for a fee without counseling. Most of these companies use deceptive practices and will only leave you more in debt then you already are. Foreclosure help If you have fallen behind on your mortgage payments, or if you have already received a letter or phone call about missed payments, you should contact your lender immediately to explain your situation and see if you can work out a payment plan. Be prepared to provide your financial information, such as your monthly income and expenses. You can also get help from a housing foreclosure avoidance counselor. These are HUD-approved, trained counselors that will work with you, examining your financial situation, and offer guidance on how best to avoid default or foreclosure. They can also

represent you in negotiations with your lender if you need them to. To find a government-approved housing counseling agency in your area, use the National Foundation for Credit Counseling website or phone number previously listed. Or for a larger selection of housing counseling options, see the Department of Housing and Urban Development website at hud.gov – click on “Resources” at the top of the page, then on “Foreclosure Avoidance Counseling,” or call 800-569-4287. Another helpful resource you should know about, and one your counselor can help you explore, is the Making Home Affordable program. Created by the Obama Administration in 2009, this program offers struggling homeowners the opportunity to modify or refinance their mortgage to make their monthly payments more affordable. It also includes the Home Af-

fordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program for those who are interested in a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. To learn more about these programs and their eligibility requirements see makinghomeaffordable.gov or call the Homeownership Preservation Foundation’s HOPE Hotline at 888-995-4673. Financial assistance You also need to make sure you’re not missing out on any financial assistance programs. The National Council on Aging’s website (benefitscheckup.org) contains a database of more than 2,000 federal, state and local programs that can help seniors with prescription drug costs, health care, food, utilities and other basic needs. The site will help you locate programs that you may be eligible for and will show you how to apply. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, Okla. 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

‘He’s too old!’: Willy Wonka at Tryon Little Theater July 18 - 21 Grandma Josephine (Alexa Hughes) and Grandpa Joe (Price Marshall) are just one half of the dual grandparental units living with the Bucket family in “Willy Wonka,” Tryon Little Theater/ Tryon Youth Center’s 2013 Summer Production. Although they’re very poor, Grandpa Joe is ever the optimist, always urging Charlie to keep a positive attitude. Grandma Josephine, on the other hand can be a little testy, thinks her husband is “too old,” and eases her boredom by chain smoking. Both young actors have a long history in the theater, with Marshall (a rising junior at Polk County High School) having roles in “Seussical,” “Twelfth Night,” “Guys and Dolls,” and “Pippin,” as well as multiple characters in “Greek Mythology Olympiaganza.” “I enjoy the feeling you get when you successfully perform or put on a show. I like the challenge that’s presented... whether it’s be-

coming the character, learning the lines, singing or dancing,” he said. “I really like my role as Grandpa Joe. He’s a young soul trapped in an old body. He’s not the typical old-man character, which makes him a lot of fun to play.” Hughes started with TLT shows when she was 9, and she’s about to head off to Appalachian State for a major in theater arts and a minor in dance. Over time, she’s logged more than 400 volunteer hours at both TLT and TFAC and says she loves “all aspects of theater.” “Willy Wonka” opens at TFAC July 18, running through the matinee finale on July 21. Tickets go on sale July 8 at the TLT Workshop 516 S. Trade St in Tryon, (open Monday – Saturday 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., and Tues and Thurs 4 – 7 p.m.). Call 828-859-2466 to reserve your tickets, or visit www.tltinfo. org for more information. -article submitted by Monica Jones
