Columbus looks to Henderson County for town soil and erosion control

by Leah Justice

Columbus has its own soil and erosion control ordinance but currently no one qualified to enforce it so the town is looking outside the county for assistance.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Aug. 18 and decided to

request the services of Henderson County to enforce its ordinance.

Polk County has also considered in the past contracting with Henderson County to enforce its soil and erosion control ordinance adopted in 2009.

Polk County High School track, tennis courts get facelift

by Samantha Hurst

When Polk County High School staff and students arrive for the first day of school Aug. 26 they’ll arrive to an updated look for the school’s football field, track and tennis courts.

As of this week, about a month before school is set to return, Stott’s Paving has repaved the track and tennis courts.

“They’ve resodded places on the football field that were damaged so it looks like they are moving along,” said Principal Mary Feagan.

The Polk County School Board of Education in April selected Stott’s to complete the project for about $320,000.

Work began on the project just after graduation and should be complete before the start of the 2013-2014 year. The previous track lasted almost two decades, according to Superintendent Bill Miller.

Asphalt was recently put into place for the new tennis court surface at PCHS. (photo by Leah Justice)

Everyone was pleasant and very gentle with me and any fears that I had. Dr. Walters has been my dentist since he came to Landrum and his staff is wonderful, very pleasant and knowledgeable. I appreciate each one of them and the care they give... making me feel like family." ~ J.C. "Going to Dr. Walters is always a pleasant experience. The staff is friendly and professional. If you are afraid of dentists, then make an appointment with Dr. Walter's he will change your mind about dentistry forever." ~ A.W.

son learned.”

Kanipe said he and Rosseter met with Henderson County initially to see if they have interest in enforcing Columbus’ ordinance and they were receptive to the idea.

Kanipe also said Columbus’ permit fees are a little higher than Henderson County’s fees, so the town could handle Henderson County’s fees to Columbus through its own permit fees.

Turning enforcement back to the state, Kanipe said, could result in the town not seeing a lot of inspections because the state only has one inspector for 19 counties in the western part of the state.

Council also discussed hiring its own soil and erosion control inspector, but decided the town doesn’t have enough development at this time to pay the person through permit fees. Council said if develop-

ment warrants the town hiring an employee in the future they could consider that, but for now the town’s best option is Henderson County.

Kanipe said his thoughts are for the town to have business cards created with the Henderson County inspector’s name on them.

Council agreed for Kanipe to set up a meeting and for Henderson County officials to come to the town’s August meeting if possible.

The contract would have to be agreed upon by Columbus, Henderson County and the state’s soil and erosion control board.

Columbus’ local soil, erosion and sedimentation ordinance can be viewed on the town’s website at www. columbusnc.org by clicking on the “Columbus Town code and zoning ordinance” icon which takes users to an external site.

The soil and erosion ordinance is under “land usage.”

Foster Creek has new developer No changes in owner, master plan

by Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus was notified recently that Foster Creek Development has new developers, Reader and Partners, out of Raleigh.

Foster Creek, owned by American Land Fund, previously had Forest City Land Group as its developers, with Scott Kilby working with Columbus for several years on the project.

Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe told town council during its Aug. 18 meeting that he has met with Jeff Reader and the company’s senior vice-president Dean Barberree regarding their plans for the development.

Kanipe said the owner of the property remains the same, as well as the development’s master plan, special use permit and development agreement.

“The only difference at this stage is that Reader and Partners is the development company charged with the implementation of those plans and not Forest City Land Group,” Kanipe told council. “Staff will work diligently with Reader and Partners over the next few months to get them completely up to speed on the area and prior agreements.”

Councilwoman Margaret Met-

calf expressed concern that new developers will take more of the town’s time getting them up to speed on the project. Kanipe said he doesn’t think they will be calling with questions and the development’s attorney, Alan Peterson, is still with the company.

Kanipe said the reason the new developers came to Columbus was to introduce themselves and get to know the town.

“We provided them extensive information on the plans and agreements already in place and discussed their plans for the development which are no different than those previously planned by Forest City,” Kanipe said. “Certainly, they may take a different approach to managing or marketing the property, but I do not feel that this will be anything significantly different from how Forest City Land Group would have handled the property.”

In 2011, Columbus approved a development agreement with Foster Creek, located off Houston Road and Hwy. 108. The development is planned at 687 dwelling units on over 1,065 acres.

Columbus recently approved the voluntary annexation of another 2.66 acres into the development as well as zoning for the new property.

Construction in the development has not yet begun.

Pride prevents better possibilities “All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.” ― Sophocles, Antigone We all want to appear as if we’ve got it all together – as if we can juggle every task, errand and chore. We also often hide when we have fallen on financial hard times. When we are too prideful, however, to recognize and acknowledge when our time and/or resources have run thin, it is often not ourselves that suffer but others.

Many of our readers were heartbroken to read this week of a beautiful mustang rescued from a pitiful situation. It instead took a concerned passerby to alert authorities that this poor horse was starving and had broken free of its stall or fence.

So many of us struggle daily with time and money constraints.

It’s important for people to understand that they shouldn’t allow their pride to stand in the way of the health and safety of others – including their animals.

There are so many people out there who would love to give the time and attention needed to a horse such as this beauty. There are also so many willing people ready to come to the aid of pet owners in need.

There is a local hay pledge and just this week a workshop was held to educate horse owners new to the area about local resources.

We’re glad, once approached, this horse owner willingly gave the horse up. Now we can only encourage other pet owners to set aside their pride in similar situations and ask for help.

For those of your readers unfamiliar with GAL’s, we act as volunteer advocates before the Court for abused, neglected and dependent children in the custody of DSS. Sadly, this decision is only one of several made by these public minions that reflects their apparent determination to impose their will on Polk County.

This same frustration, on the national level, has seemed to create

I ask all to remember that we, the electorate, put these people in their positions.

If we are outraged by men who ignore the needs of abused children, who cause waterlines to be built where they are not wanted or needed, who create unnecessary hardships for organizations that attend to a growing population of abused animals, who use their position to place their advocates in various advisory boards, then we do have recourse.

We resolve not to forget. We resolve to get involved in campaigns.

We look for a variety of candidates, not just middle-aged white men with political promises to keep.

And we vote.

Failure to stay involved will result in getting the kind of local government we deserve; that is to say, what we have now.

Letter to the Editor

Life in the wet lane To the editor: It has been a little more than two weeks since our nation’s birthday. Since that time, I have been reflecting on the events of the day.

At 2:30 a.m. on the morning of July 4, I was awakened by a constant rumbling on the roof.

Oh no! It’s raining cats and dogs again. This was to be the day of the 30th Fabulous 4th Bike Tour, sponsored by the Rotary Club of Tryon. Funds raised from the event help local children through Reading is Fundamental and the Gift of Life programs.

It probably wasn’t going to happen. In spite of all the planning and preparation, it wasn’t worth risking the riders’ safety. It appeared that we might have to cancel the event unless there was a dramatic change in the weather.

The biggest challenge was that the volunteers had nearly 100 miles of area roads to monitor, on a constant basis, due to the effects of the unceasing rain.

Even with improving weather, would it be possible to conduct the bike tour?

Time was passing slowly now and the rain continued. It was still dark when a group of Rotarians met at the Harmon Field cabin about 5 a.m. to make final preparations. Strangely, no one seemed antsy or even worse, dejected. We

Participants in the 30th annual Fabulous Fourth Bike Tour ride through downtown Tryon despite early morning showers on July 4. (photo by Lorin Browning)

had coffee and Carol Browning’s homemade muffins and speculated about the weather.

As dawn approached, the rain had stopped. Riders were arriving to participate in the Fabulous 4th.

This was an encouraging sign.

Soon, a fairly constant stream of bike-laden cars entered the parking area and riders began to assemble their bikes, talking and laughing with one another and completing the registration process.

When 7 a.m. came, all was at the ready. It still was not raining.

There were even glimpses of blue sky and the sun. After a short safety speech, prayer and an “all clear” on the course, the bike tour kicked off with a release of 30

white doves to commemorate the 30th anniversary.

Between two and three hours later, most of the riders had returned, and all returned safely.

“How was the ride, I asked?”

Most replies began with words like great, super and wonderful.

My reply began with the word fantastic. They accepted the closing of part of the course due to flooding and a downed tree. Back at the cabin, the riders were in a festive mood. After a good lunch they departed for their homes in the Carolinas, Virginia, Georgia, Florida and who knows what other states.

Last year, the programs supported by this event allowed

Rotary to purchase and distribute about 1,300 books for Polk Central Elementary School and helped three local families with uninsured medical expenses for their children.

The Fabulous 4th Bike Tour is truly a community event. We owe a debt of gratitude to Wells Fargo Advisors for being the master sponsor and to the many local business people and volunteers who partnered with the Rotary Club of Tryon. Members of the club also contributed their time and donations to organize and support the bike tour.

Let’s continue to make these riders feel welcome in Tryon.

– Glenn LeFeber

LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods support Dining Out for Hospice at Southside Smokehouse in Landrum

Residents from LaurelHurst and LaurelWoods recently ate at Southside Smokehouse in Landrum to support Hospice of the Carolina Foothills.

A portion of their bill went to supporting Hospice and all the good work they do. Plus, residents enjoyed a delicious meal and fellowship.

Food, fun and fellowship - what a great way to spend the day. (photos submitted by Jennifer Thompson)

Next Tryon Gallery Trot scheduled for Aug. 10 featuring Project X The TDDA sponsored Tryon Gallery Trot will offer another evening in downtown focused on family fun, live performances and the arts.

Come out on Aug. 10 from 5-8 p.m. The season is flying by with only two more Trots to go in September and October.

A grant from the Mary Kessler Fund through the Polk County Community Foundation, will fund entertainment from well known rock band Project X. The band will play an eclectic blend of classic and obscure covers from the 80s to modern hits, interlaced with powerful originals.

The band plays from 6-9 p.m. in the center of town. Another grant from PCCF, will allow Trot organizers to offer free horse drawn carriage rides, an appearance from magician Keller O’Neill and a balloon artist.

The popular “art tasting” returns where several pop up displays will be near the enter-

tainment for businesses who participate in the Trot, but are a good bit off Trade St.; Tryon Arts and Crafts and Saluda Forge have each signed on.

Each group will have examples of their art for sale and some of the artists will be on hand to discuss their works. TAC, for example, presents Mary Lou Diekmann’s pottery.

Some other highlights of the Aug. 10 Trot will include: Skyuka Fine Art presents ‘Exploring The Blue Ridge’ by William Jameson. This is a show that continues Jameson’s passion; exploring nature one painting after another. Jameson’s recent trips among the Blue Ridge Mountains and specifically the Appalachian Trail are brought to life on these canvases.

Tryon Fine Arts Center welcomes the Tryon Garden Club who will host a silent auction and exhibit titled ‘Let it Sizzle, A Celebration of Seasons’ from

day, Aug. 6 through Aug. 10, which is also the closing of the auction. This show represents the culmination of a yearlong project called “Four Seasons of Creativity” in which artists of all disciplines have had free access to Pearson’s Falls in order to create work inspired by the property.

There is a fee for admission to this fund-raising event.

Proceeds from the event and auction will go towards a program called “Learning to Grow…Growing to Learn,” creating educational gardens for the four Polk County elementary schools.

The Upstairs Artspace has two exhibits this month; “Seeing Is Believing: The Collection of Ray Griffin and Thom Robinson” features 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 popular Polk County artists Bonnie Bardos and Charlotte Fowler who make colorful “found object” art that dares to be different. 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 have created new work for the exhibit which will be for sale to benefit the Upstairs as well. Bardos and Fowler put other people’s trash to good use in their art. Fowler likes collecting animal bones, coins and old wood. Bardos favors vintage jewelry, silver flatware and ceramic figures. Everything Bardos has created for this show is in the shape of a cross.

The Depot at Millard & Company is showing various work by Christine Mariotti.

Stop by to see a lovely collection of Chinese brush paintings, stunning acrylics and even a fiber art wall hanging. Mariotti works in many mediums and has continued to teach workshops in

textile methods in arts and craft centers in New York, Arizona, California and western North Carolina. She has exhibited locally and is also known for her fine hand painted silk wearables.

All are welcome to come and meet the artist.

Tryon Painters & Sculptors will be celebrating its 45th anniversary with special festivities, new items for sale in their gift gallery and a new show “Moment in Time.”

The Book Shelf, Green River Gallery, Ferullo Studio, New View Realty, The 1906 Pine Crest Inn, Thompson’s Garden Gallery, Vines & Stuff and Terra on Trade all open their doors and welcome Trotters with new art, merchandise and refreshments.

Attendees will feel right at home for this family friendly arts-centered event. Find Tryon Gallery Trot on Facebook or email info@skyukafineart.com for more information.

Dark Corner’s Ninety and Nine spiritual ballad Sheehan/ Fowler reunion Dark Corner folks readily sheep.” identify with The Ninety and Nine spiritual ballad.

The deeply held worth of the individual in the eyes of its creator, and the value of unselfish giving of one’s life, if necessary, to protect or save another individual runs deeply through the veins of most Dark Corner folks.

They are values first brought to this mountainous area by Scots-Irish Presbyterian and borderline England Calvinist Baptist and Methodist settlers.

Just as these traditional values are no longer held in high esteem by much of the modern world, they are beginning to wane here in the Dark Corner as well.

But, for more than 140 years, the lyrics and melody of The Ninety and Nine have resonated on our minds and hearts.

The Ninety and Nine There were ninety and nine that safely lay

Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by Dean Campbell

In the shelter of the fold.

But one was out on the hills away, Far off from the gates of gold.

Away on the mountains wild and bare; Away from the tender Shepherd’s care; Away from the tender Shepherd’s care.

“Lord, Thou hast here Thy ninety and nine; Are they not enough for Thee?”

But the Shepherd made answer: “This of mine Has wandered away from Me; And although the road be rough and steep, I go to the desert to find My sheep, I go to the desert to find My

“Lord, whence are those blood drops all the way That mark out the mountain’s track?”

“They were shed for one who had gone astray Ere the Shepherd could bring him back.”

“Lord, whence are Thy hands so rent and torn?”

“They are pierced tonight by many a thorn; They are pierced tonight by many a thorn.”

And all through the mountains, thunder riv’n And up from the rocky steep, There arose a glad cry to the gate of Heav’n, “Rejoice! I have found My sheep!”

And the angels echoed around the throne, “Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!

Rejoice, for the Lord brings back His own!”

The Family Reunion of John Sheehan and Kansadie Arkansas Fowler will be held on Sunday, July 28 at 1 p.m. at the Beulah Baptist Church off Hwy. 9. For directions or for more information, call 828-894-3348.

The Historic Johnson Farm in Henderson County. (photo by Judy Banks)

Polk retired school personnel meet at Historic Johnson Farm in Henderson County Historic Johnson Farm is a heritage education center owned

by Henderson County Public Schools. It is managed by volunteers and Friends of the Farm through the Henderson County Education Foundation Inc. It offers school field trips, animals, tours, nature trails, picnic tables and 10 historic structures on 15 acres of forest, fields and streams. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been designated a North Carolina Cultural Treasure. Only three school systems in the United

States own a farm.

Polk members enjoyed a tour of the 19th century farmhouse built with bricks from the nearby French Broad River. A visit inside the boarding house annex revealed a group of students working with volunteers of the Heritage Weavers and Fiber Artists.

Following the tour, the group enjoyed a delicious luncheon at The Blackberry Café.

NCRSP gives retired school personnel the opportunity to stay professionally and socially engaged with colleagues through

your a unit’s activities, districts and state conventions and workshops. Membership is open to retired personnel including support staff, maintenance, teacher assistants, teachers and administrators.

The next gathering of Retired School Personnel will be at Scoops ‘n More in Columbus for an ice cream social on Monday, Aug. 12 at 2 p.m. If you are interested in joining our group, please RSVP 828-817-1960 or 828-894-8705.
