Green Creek Fire experiences damage from storms Thick blocks that made up a retaining wall at the Green Creek Fire Depar tment are seen here smashed against one of the department’s fire engines with crumbling red clay falling in behind them. Another round of thunderstorms that moved through the area over the weekend brought several inches of rain each day. Friday, Aug. 9 Tr yon’s water plant recorded 1.68 inches of rain. On Saturday, Aug. 10 the plant saw 1.15 inches of rain and on Sunday, Aug. 11 the area got 1.12 inches of rain.

The dam to the swimming lake at Twin Lakes in Saluda breached over the weekend causing an overflow valve to release and drain the lake.

Since it will take time to refill the lake, the date of the open house at Twin Lakes has been changed to Saturday, Aug. 31, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will be free to the community.

Green Creek Fire returns from emergency to damaged wall, engine During the heavy rains, thunder and lightning on Aug. 10, Green Creek Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched at 8:31 p.m. to a reported lightning strike/possible structure fire at 474 Chesnee Rd. Columbus and Mill Spring fire departments were also dispatched to assist.

Upon returning to the fire station, firefighter Lambert Ridings advised chief Michael Herman that the retaining wall behind the fire department had fallen during the storm.

This retaining wall was built behind the fire station during the construction of the addition to the fire station.

The wall also landed on a fire engine causing damage to the

fire truck.

Chief Herman has met with the insurance company to determine how badly the fire engine has been damaged.

Cones have been placed in the back parking lot area of the fire department in an effort to keep everyone away from the unstable ground.

The department is hopeful that the area won’t have any more heavy rains before it can get everything fixed.

Even though heavy rains (1.15 inches on Saturday, Aug. 10), intense lightning and high winds battered the area Saturday night there were no warnings issued by the National Weather Service.

• Saluda bills (continued from page 1)

and service will be discontinued on Aug. 19 if the past due charges are not paid in full.

Saluda Commissioners met Monday, Aug. 12 and heard the utility billing report after Mayor Fred Baisden said resident Karen Bultman asked for information on water bills.

Baisden said Saluda looked at their delinquent bills a few months ago and discovered there was $23,000 in past due amounts.

Baisden said per state statute, the city is only allowed to go back and collect the last three years on water bills and four years on sewer bills. The city purged the bills that it was no longer able to collect.

Pace said the city purged $17,555 from 58 accounts because the expired period of collections has passed, according to state law. Pace also said in the month of July, the city disconnected five meters because of

nonpayment for June billing, with four of those accounts paid in full and reconnected.

“One account is still delinquent and the meter has been removed to ensure there is no usage,” Pace said. “The health department has been informed that someone is residing in a home with no running water.”

Pace also said all delinquent accounts have been sent to the N.C. Debt Setoff Program and are sent letters with balance amounts for collection.

The debt collection agency Saluda formerly hired went out of business last year and the city has had one presentation from a debt collection agency but has not hired another company.

Commissioner Johnnie Kinard said it’s his understanding that the city’s collection rate on utility bills is about 99 percent.

Commissioner George Sweet said it’s his understanding the city had such a large delinquent list (Continued on page 5)

Wednesday, August 14, 2013 Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

• Saluda bills (continued from page 4)

because previous boards wanted to keep track of people who didn’t pay their bills years ago.

Sweet said the state only allowing the city to go back a few years to collect means a person can sign back up at the same address and the city can’t collect what they owe from any bills owed longer than three years.

Sweet said the positive is the city approved a new water/sewer policy that includes tightening up the process and he thinks that’s going to help.

“You’re down to less than one percent of the year’s revenues that’s not collected and most businesses that operate under a pay-after-you-get-it basis would be tickled to death with that,” Sweet said.

Commissioners later in the meeting got into a discussion with Bultman, who questioned why the city would not release names and addresses of its utility customers.

“What’s wrong with giving the citizens of Saluda a list of the water meters,” Bultman asked.

“Why do we get garbage like this? It’s a sheer waste of time, energy and money.”

Saluda City Attorney Bailey Nager told Bultman that she reached a conclusion for herself that state law did not prohibit the disclosure of billing information.

The state statute, Nager said, is that if the city wants to give it the city can give it. He said he has not received direction from the board that they want to give out who lives at every address.

Nager said he doesn’t think other towns are giving out that information and he’s absolutely sure if Bultman went to a judge, a judge would say “no,” because the state statute says the city does not have to give that information.

Bultman said Nager is exactly right, but what she is asking is why Saluda’s mayor and four commissioners won’t give that information. She asked what is wrong with giving that information.

Resident Ellen Rogers asked Bultman why she is barking up this tree and said it’s a waste of the city’s time.

“I’m talking about transparency in the way the city does business,” Bultman said.

Commissioner Sweet said he thinks it’s inappropriate to give out that information.

“It is the citizens’ right to know if we are doing things correctly,” Bultman said.

One resident from the audience said she thinks the 99 percent collection rate should be satisfactory enough.

Thomas’ show “Essentially Silk” opens at Millard & Co. Aug. 16 Artist Barbara McCombs Thomas opens her show “Essentially Silk” Friday, Aug. 16 at Millard & Co. in the Tryon Depot. The show will run through Sept. 30, with a reception set for Friday, Aug. 23 from 4-7 p.m.

The show encompasses both recent and older works using dyes and silk paints on silk, cotton and linen.

For more than 25 years, Thomas’ passion has been fabric painting, utilizing all types of fibers, dyes and mixed media.

Seven years of study in Sumi-E with Japanese artist, Ann Kobayashi, greatly influenced her work.

“I had always been drawn to the simplicity of oriental brush painting, so when an art instructor encouraged me to experiment with both natural and synthetic fiber dyeing, I began integrating my love of flowing color on fabric with brush painting techniques,” Thomas said.

“Immediately, silk painting became my favorite and most challenging medium.”

Make a pottery bowl Aug. 15 or Aug. 17 The public is invited to make clay bowls this Thursday, Aug. 15 and Saturday, Aug. 17 as part of the Hub City Empty Bowls 2013 fundraiser project in Spartanburg.

The sites are West Main Artists Coop on Thursday, Aug. 15 from 6-8:30 p.m. (during ArtWalk) and Chapman Cultural Center on Saturday, Aug. 17 from 10 a.m.-noon and 1-3 p.m.

There is no cost to make the bowls.

All materials — professional-quality clay, studio, expert instruction — are provided at no cost.

The bowls will be used on Saturday, Nov. 9 — Soup Day — when patrons enjoy a variety of soups provided by local restaurants in exchange for a set donation. The money raised will be donated to Total Ministries to curb hunger in Spartanburg. This is Hub City Empty Bowls’ fifth year; last year, the project raised $12,000 for the Spartanburg Soup Kitchen.

Positives and negatives to plan of diversifying planning board Serving as a decision-maker for the future of Polk County, places an earthen-like weight on the shoulders of planning board members.

Before a bulldozer is cranked these men and women must determine if developments and zoning plans fit within the vision residents have for the county.

Making these decisions, and doing so appropriately, requires a breath of understanding about what it means to be a resident of this beautiful county. Policies and strategies that might work in the eyes of someone with one acre of land in Tryon certainly might not fit all the concerns and desires of an individual with 100 acres in Green Creek or Sunny View.

Our current commissioners want to see seats on the planning board filled with members from each township, as the board currently has no one from Tryon or Coopers Gap. Finding members from those areas could add perspective and enhance representation. Ask some Saluda residents about their concerns over the once proposed Mountainside and Ridgeline Protection Ordinance (MRPO) and many will tell you they felt it affected Saluda more than other areas. Citizens from each township need to be involved and an effort to get them to be so is commendable.

There are some potential snags to the idea however.

Volunteer boards in this county have struggled to get and even keep members. Its understandable some might be concerned about yet another limitation placed on individuals willing to offer their time. The Bulletin reached out to a few current planning board members for their perspective and heard back quickly from Lisa Krolak, who has served as chair of the board.

Krolak said she’s willing to give the plan a try, but that she worries limiting board member terms and areas from which they can apply might hinder the overall job of the board. She said she’s concerned seats will remain unfilled as people might think the process too cumbersome to bother applying. Another fear from her perspective is that they might come on board and not be up to speed enough to truly contribute before their time is up.

We’d certainly like to see more citizens involved in the planning board and other volunteer boards overall. While getting someone from each township is a worthwhile effort, we hope it doesn’t further inhibit someone from participation. The end goal is to make sure all citizens are well represented whatever it takes to make that happen.

Gauging our area’s weather To the editor: One thing everyone has in common is weather.

We all talk about the weather, but there isn’t much we can do about the weather. But did you know Polk County has a network of volunteers that record the rain, hail and snow data?

The group belongs to the nationwide Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network (CoCoRaHS). Along with the National Weather Service COOP Station in Tryon, these individuals log precip- Letter itation that occurs at to the their location, usually Editor a home or farm, but also a school and a business too.

This past July was a good example of what the network accomplished.

Several stations reached or exceeded the normal precipitation for the year of 61.77 inches of rain, as computed by the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville. In fact, one station, NC-PK-2, has reached 69.61 inches of rain as of July 31.

How does our July compare to July of years past? What previous month was our wettest on record, and what year was it? Have our droughts happened in the past?

Good questions, so let’s take a

Letter to the Editor

Congress opt out of Obamacare

Letter To the editor: Tryon Daily Bul- to the letin readers might Editor watch for the outcome of the president’s reported plans (Wall Street Journal - Aug. 5, 2012) to exempt Congress

peek at the data from Tryon from 1917-2013.

For the wettest previous July, 2003 was the closest at 12.11 inches and the wettest month in the past looks like August of 1928 with 19.20 inches of rain.

Drought and rainfall, one thing we as humans tend to do is forget the past. Polk County just suffered through three years of drought, the rainfall for 2010, 2011 and 2012 was well below normal, but did you know that the lack of rain in 1988 was much worse; it just didn’t last for three years?

The chart shows how the rainfall cycle changes from year to year, from 1917 through early August 2013.

What can you do?

Join CoCoRaHS and start collecting your data.

You probably will find your rain can differ quite a bit from a neighbor. For those living along the escarpment and higher in the county, yours can be several inches different. If you do join, the Polk County coordinator has purchased a box of the recommended 4-inch rain gauges and Little Mountain Farm Supply on Highway 9 is helping out by being a central location for individuals to pick one up.

(Continued on page 9)

from the requirement to participate in Obamacare.

The reported reason is that participation would cause the loss of the generous benefits provided by their current federal program.

Supposedly, the president could not get a simple change in the law to that effect. So he may order the exemption.

Rather than do the proper vetting and oversee the construction of the new DSS building, our prior commissioners got sidetracked with the ever so wasteful Unified Development Ordinance.

Now county taxpayers are

once again on the hook for sloppy work. And to think that one of the folks involved was an environmental attorney.

The irony is lost on no one, but the taxpayer funds are indeed lost.

Author to discuss Sidney Lanier at library’s Brown Bag Lunch The Lanier Library will host Alabama author May Lamar for the Brown Bag Lunch Aug. 20.

Lamar’s book, Brother Sid, her first published novel, explores the life of Sidney Lanier.

“I spent three years researching and writing about the life of Sidney Lanier,” Lamar said, “including a summer spent tracking his movements during the Civil War, which took me to all kinds of strange and amazing places in the South.”

Lamar began her writing career as a reporter for the Gastonia (NC) Gazette in 1980. She left newspaper work to run an advertising agency for 20 years.

Amazon, through which her book is available, describes it as “a fictional account of how the hard luck poet handles failed love, consumption, debt, regret and the Lost Cause….” Susan

Reynolds, a book review blogger with Alabama Letters, wrote “the core strength of this novel is its attention to setting, description and period detail.”

Sidney Lanier was a Georgia poet known for “The Song of the Chattahoochee” and “The Marshes of Glynn.” He also wrote a novel, Tiger-Lilies, about his experiences during the Civil War, where he contracted tuberculosis, which would take his life at an early age. Lanier died in 1881, just outside Tryon where he was staying to try to recover from his illness.

His widow, Mary, stayed on in Tryon with their sons. When a group of civic-minded ladies met in 1890 over tea to discuss the fledgling Town of Tryon’s need for a library and named their group after the late poet, Mary Lanier offered to donate the

What’s so interesting up there guys?

It’s time to connect the heating system from St. Luke’s Hospital’s current building to the new hospital wing under construction, so Keith White, engineer with St. Luke’s Hospital, and Joey Garrin a welder/ pipefitter with Shoffner, are working together to make the connection.

The guys were up the ladder and working in the ceiling to tie in lines that will circulate water for the heating system. Construction on the hospital’s new $5.6 million patient wing is making great progress, according to Brad Smith, project manager with Brasfield Gorrie, the general contractor managing the project.

to construct in 1905 the building in which the Lanier Library, one of only 16 membership libraries left in the United States, is still housed today.

Lamar said in a recent email that Lanier “was very taken” with

Tryon, and that she looks forward to visiting the area.

The free program will begin at noon, and the public is invited.

The Lanier Library is located at 72 Chestnut St. in Tryon. For more information, call 828-8599535.

Honey bees in peach trees The abundance of rain this summer has subdued the usual, bustling activity of gathering peaches, and I find myself remembering the blooming season more vividly than normal.

With peach blossoms foremost in my mind, I am reminded of another ghostly tale told often by Scout Executive Lawrence L. Stanley at Camp Old Indian’s Wednesday night campfires. It concerned an incident that happened to his uncle’s family.

The uncle had a farm some distance from most of his relatives.

It contained a small house, a goodsized barn and several acres of apple and peach trees. The house stood in an area graded out of a hillside on the edge of the peach orchard.

The barn was in a flat meadow about four hundred feet from the house. While the peach trees were in full bloom, the uncle built a fire in the fireplace one cool evening.

His 9-year-old daughter walked in

The grandfather was a pioneer, and was known for treating wounds and illnesses, but he was visibly front of the fireplace, and somehow shaken by the condition of the little caught her woolen dress on fire. girl.

the bees they could not hear. One of them walked over to the nearest tree and shook a branch; no bees flew out.

Just then, they heard a sound of a loud bumping and the rattle of a chain from the barn. They stood close together in silence, the sound of bees in the peach trees forgotten for now. The sound from the barn was repeated. The older son said, “We can’t just stand here. Let’s go down to the barn and see what is making that noise.”

When they reached the barn, they walked into the hallway, with cattle stalls on either side and the hay loft overhead. At one end of the hallway, a square hole had been cut in the floor of the hay loft, so a ladder attached to the wall could be used to gain access to the loft.

The noise began again. They were convinced it was coming from above their heads. Grasping a pitchfork leaning against the wall, the older son said, “You come after me up the ladder. I’ll use this fork to (Continued on page 19)

stick whatever is up there.”

Climbing first up the ladder, he lost his footing at the square hole area and fell back on top of his brother.

“This will never do,” he said, “we can’t just go off without trying to find out what is up there. Now, follow me again and I’ll stick whatever we find.”

This time he reached the top, got on his hands and knees on the hayloft floor with the fork held in front of him. The bumping sound started again, shaking the roof, and the chain rattled louder than ever.

Then came a sound more familiar to them — the bleating of a neighbor’s old ram, who was best known for his ability to jump fences. It had found the door in the gable end of the barn open, and had walked across a wide board that had been left in place by persons unloading hay. It jumped down into the loft.

There was a chain about three feet long lashed by a piece of rope

from a fore leg to a hind leg to limit its ability to jump fences. As it leapt into the loft, the chain caused it to land on its side, catching its horns against the roof and pinning it in that position.

Recognizing them as humans who could help, the old ram welcomed them with a very loud “Baabaa-baa.” The sons began to laugh at the scare the old ram had given them. Their thoughts returned to the little girl in critical condition. She died about midnight.

Years later, the sons asked the grandfather if he really heard bees in the peach trees the night she died.

He assured them he did, as clearly as he could hear the ticking of an old fashioned clock that stood in the room with them now.

The sons wondered why an old pioneer like the grandfather would ask a question about bees under such circumstances, if he did not, in fact, hear a humming sound, and why could they, as younger men standing nearby, not hear this humming sound, if there were bees in the blossoms on the peach trees?

Shrom publishes her third book entitled “Sweet Revenge” LaJoyce Shrom, an employee in St. Luke’s Hospital’s Emergency Department, has just released her third book, “Sweet Revenge.”

This latest book, “Sweet Revenge” is a story of revenge and forgiveness.

The story shows how God can transform the most hopeless situations and restore the impossible for those who follow His leading.

“Everyone has esteem and we have either a low esteem or a healthy esteem. Esteem can enable a person to either be a codependent,

an enabler or be healthy and help others,” says Shrom.

She has tried, in a gentle way, to write of experiences in her life so others can help lift themselves out of their low esteem.

Shrom’s first book, a children’s book titled “Learning About Life, Two Dogs with a Tale,” was released in 2005 and her second, “Revealed Secret,” in 2008.

Shrom is also an accomplished watercolorist and oil painter.

Shrom and her husband, Andy, live in Polk County with their menagerie of animals.

Copies of “Sweet Revenge” can be found or purchased from amazon.com.
