Columbus could further restrict gaming machines by Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus already restricts electronic gaming machines to the four corners of the interstate, but after drastically reducing its fees for the machines for fear of a lawsuit, the town is researching how to restrict the number of machines allowed in each business. Council met Thursday, Aug. 15 and discussed possible ways to restrict the number of machines allowed per business. The discussion included restricting the number of machines depending on the amount of parking. Last month, Columbus lowered its permitting fees for a privileged license for the machines from $3,000 per location and $2,500 per machine to $300 per location and $300 per machine.

Tryon tomato fields ripe for picking

Tryon’s been a buzz with talk of how many gallons of tomatoes everyone has picked from the tomato fields near Harmon Field. A easily recognizable image, the tomato fields have been painted by many local artists in their efforts to depict Tryon. There are 18 acres of tomatoes planted. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

“Dropping our fees sort of opened us up,” said councilman Ricky McCallister. “That’s opened it up for more people to want to do it.” The former Shell station, which currently sits empty, was specifically mentioned as one of the four locations in town allowed to have the machines. Columbus attorney Bailey Nager said expert advice from the N.C. Institute of Government indicates the town can restrict the number of machines a business can have, but the town would have to articulate reasoning for the limitation. Currently the most machines one business has is four in Columbus. Examples for limiting the amount of machines from David Owens with the Institute of Government include traffic, parking and impacts on neighbors. Nager said one thing Columbus could say is that it is a very small town. If Columbus had a parlor with lots of gaming machines that would feel out of scale, said Nager. Columbus could also cite parking, he said. Nager said there’s no way to know what will happen until the town places restrictions because there aren’t any current cases regarding the number of machines. The town lowered its fees following the City of Lumberton losing a lawsuit over its

fees, which were deemed to be out of scale with other privileged license fees. “You’re trying to balance their right to do business with various community issues,” Nager said. Council discussed several avenues of restricting the number of machines, such as saying only a certain amount of machines are allowed per square feet or certain amounts per parking spaces. Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said his initial thought would be to see if there are other towns that have done both things Columbus is contemplating; limiting locations where machines can be and additionally limiting the amount of machines in those areas. Kanipe said there could be an argument that those kinds of hardships are difficult. Kanipe said another issue is the machines currently being used may be illegal. Gaming machines were recently deemed illegal in North Carolina then the machines were changed and new ones have been installed. It will be up to the district attorney to determine if new machines are legal or not. Council decided to continue looking into ways to restrict the number of machines allowed per business and also said it wants N.C. Department of Transportation data at the interstate intersection on traffic and accidents near where gaming machines are allowed.

• DSS issues (continued from page 1)

the county on how to properly fix issues but to potentially be used as an expert witness if the county later decides to sue to recoup damages. The DSS building was first brought up during open session by commissioner Ray Gasperson who showed pictures of the building and said, in general, although there are significant issues with the HVAC system, the plumbing and some aesthetics, the building is overall a good design. At the county’s Aug. 5 meeting, county attorney Jana Berg reviewed the building’s issues and referred to it as a “train wreck.” On Monday, Berg clarified her statement. “When I used the term train wreck during that meeting, I was not referring to the building itself,” Berg said. “I was referring to the process by which we got there; all the contractual issues related to this particular con-

struction project. Finally, I want everyone to know that while yes, there are some fairly significant issues with respect to this building, we’re working very hard to resolve them to the satisfaction of the county to ensure that the county taxpayers and citizens get what it was we paid for. “ Gasperson said he just wanted to show there are positives to the building and said he’s optimistic the county is going to find a solution for what problems exist. Gasperson’s comments drew some criticism, particularly from commissioner Tom Pack, who said Gasperson is trying to downplay the building’s issues. “Ray, it appears to me … you’re trying to downplay the issues we have in this building and make everything rosy,” said Pack. “We’ve got a lot of issues in this building.” Pack read from the Aug. 5, 2011 minutes where, “Pack expressed concerns regarding the overall quality of the building given the number and often

simple nature of issues associated with this project.” “I had concerns then,” Pack said. Pack continued with the 2011 minutes saying Gasperson then said he was convinced everything was 100 percent with the building and that the county would have a building that would last 50 years. “Ray, you downplayed it then and we’ve got issues we still need to correct,” Pack said, “you’re trying to downplay it now. We need to get the thing fixed and quit playing politics.” Resident and former commissioner Renée McDermott said it seems commissioner meetings aren’t to conduct the county’s business, but to disparage people who disagree with the majority and to jockey to get the majority’s spin and quotes in the newspaper. “The DSS building presentation wasn’t put on the Aug. 5 agenda to discuss what to do about the building,” said McDermott. “The cures for the DSS building problems were known

since before Ryan Whitson (county manager) left and before this board fired Mike Egan as the county attorney.” McDermott said Egan was in the process of negotiating payment for the proposed cure that apparently has been sitting on the interim county manager’s desk. “It took this board nine months to finally start doing something, anything,” said McDermott. Pack said McDermott was right. When the new board came in, the previous board had started working on some of the fixes for the issues, but those fixes were the cheapest available, not the best for the building. Pack said on the sewer line issue, the former board wanted to install a system that would flush a certain amount of water ever so often. “Well if the thing plugged up on a weekend and it continued to flush, it would flood the building,” Pack said. “Instead of digging up the line and fixing it (Continued on page 7)

the correct way, they wanted to put in a system that would take maintenance.” Polk County is anticipating having to take up the current sewer line that runs through the building, which according to resident and DSS board member Debbie Arceneaux, will “be a mess.” “Mr. Gasperson, I don’t know what cloud you’re on, but this building is a mess,” she said. She mentioned a room where children’s backpacks and car seats are stored that had mold in it before dehumidifiers were brought in. The backpacks and car seats had to be thrown away, Arceneaux said. “So, there are people in this county that didn’t have something available to them because of the irresponsible work that was done on this building,” Arceneaux said. “It’s going to be a mess and I don’t think you understand how much of a mess it’s going to be.” She said she feels somebody needs to be held responsible for the building. The county has expressed concerns over whether or not the building can be Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certified as the county paid about $31,000 for it to be certified. Commissioners also heard Aug. 19 that the county still has approximately $140,000 left in the project budget from its loan proceeds. The county obtained a $1.8 million loan for the building that was opened in December 2011 and immediately discovered there were issues, including the HVAC system not working properly, humidity issues because the building was not sealed properly and plumbing issues. Commissioners Keith Holbert and Gasperson both said they want the issues, particularly the HVAC system to be fixed prior to the winter months. Last winter employees needed space heaters in their offices. Holbert said it’s been insinu-

ated that the DSS discussion last meeting was a barrage against former commissioners. “When I gave the slideshow last week I never mentioned blame,” Holbert said. “My sole intent with this was to let the citizens of the county know what we’re into and why we’re doing what we’re doing to fix it … It makes no difference what was done; it’s whether it gets fixed properly or not.” McDermott said this board often has closed session meetings based on attorney/client privilege and asked how many closed ses-

sions this board has held since December. “It was very strange then that you held that discussion, apparently seeking legal advice, in open session,” McDermott said. “Why do that? Was your primary goal to publicly discredit Ray Gasperson, Ryan Whitson and me? To put inflammatory headlines, and misleading information, in the newspapers?” Commissioner chair Michael Gage said “it’s been fun being accused of not working.” He said since he was sworn in last December, he was told there was

a big mess out there and he’s been working hard ever since to resolve the issues. “So the person that was accusing us of blowing it off, I don’t know what they were thinking,” Gage said. Gage said the board has been working hard on this and a lot of issues. “We do it because we love our community, we believe in the system that we have and I appreciate everybody on this board,” Gage said. “Anybody that wants to accuse us of not doing our job, they can take a hike.”

Department of Social Services (DSS) building not a political football We’re obviously not engineers, so we’ll refrain from putting our foot in our mouth as to whether or not drastic measures are needed to fix problems with Polk County’s Department of Social Services building. Should the floors be ripped up to place new pipe or could issues be corrected with a specialized flushing system? Those answers must be left up to professionals. Therefore, we’re pleased to see the county commission moving forward with hiring a professional consultant to make that determination. It’s unfortunate the county spent so much money in an effort to build a state of the art, LEED certified facility, only to probably have to spend more money to trouble-shoot said building’s issues. But that is where we are and we need to move in a positive direction of getting the building up and running properly. The contractors should have done a better job to ensure the work was done correctly and in the end this editorial staff thinks those contractors should make the issues right. This is where the blame should fall. What we don’t like is the, “It’s a terrible mess, “No, it’s not that bad,” “I tried to tell you,” “We’re not blaming you,” “Oh yes you are” political football game going on inside commission meetings. We cannot say it any more plainly – citizens are tired of government being turned into a power play. What citizens want is for leaders to step up and take care of problems with logical, permanent and yes, cost-effective solutions. These professional consultants might come back and say the flush system would work for the sewer issues; they might also come back say the only solution is to rip up the pipe and start over. If the latter is the case, it doesn’t prove the democratic majority of the last commission did something wrong – they’re not engineers either. What it ultimately would mean is the contractors did not do their jobs appropriately and therefore the mistake is on them. So, let’s leave the football on the high school field, turn in our helmets and pads and work in a professional manner to get things done. There’s plenty of other important decisions to be made right around the corner. – Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Price for political favors

To the editor: Shortly after Detroit became the largest American city to file for bankruptcy, major cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and Philadelphia are also struggling to stay alive. However Philadelphia, a former manufacturing behemoth, is edging toward a financial precipice with primary trou- Letter bles centered on the to the cash-starved public Editor schools system. The problem is so severe the city recently agreed at the last minute to borrow $50 million just to be able to open schools on time. Even with that money, schools will open Sept. 9 with a minimum of staffing and sharply curtailed extracurricular activities and other programs. What these cities have in common is huge debt resulting from long-term entitlement programs made primarily to municipal workers such as teachers, fire fighters, police, etc. Many of these entitlement programs were a result of “negotiations” with unions broadening many benefits, which were often much lucrative than those found in

private industry. These negotiations often were based on the old quid pro quo game where benefits were often offered for the promise of political donations. The unions would make huge political contributions that helped keep the party in power, in power. And, since most of these big cities have been controlled by the same political party for decades, it becomes pretty evident the price for too much liberalism is leading to the potential demise of some of cites. If left to continue, our country may be next. We all know political favors don’t rest with any single political party, unfortunately it’s part of the way government business operates. However, when left unchecked, political favors result in the demise of our American way of life it’s time for change. It’s incumbent on each and everyone of us to step up to the ballot box and put a stop to the nonsense-politicians who get elected based on the promise of favors, not on commonsense. - Karl Kachadoorian, Tryon

Tavernier performs Liszt’s work at Landrum Presbyterian Aug. 25 Landrum Presbyterian invites the public on a musical journey through Liszt’s compositional career. It begins with Etudes, or studies, which were Liszt’s earliest interest in life - he began writing them as a child. His greatest etudes are the 12 Transcendental Etudes and six Paganini Etudes; the event will include a selection of both. Paganini was one of the world’s greatest violinists, and is still a legend. He inspired Liszt to become one of the world’s greatest pianist, and these Etudes are based on Paganini’s music and also are a tribute to him. Liszt was inspired to become one of the 19th century’s most influential and progressive composers. In the process he invented the Symphonic Poem, an orchestral work based on a story. Landrum Presbyterian’s performance includes two of these works; pieces that Liszt wrote

specifically for the piano, and which he based on religious subjects. Liszt also wrote piano music in traditional forms, one of which will be played. Among Liszt’s many pioneering activities was the celebration of ethnic music - he wrote the first book on the music of the Gypsies. He transcribed five authentic Hungarian folk songs for piano and intended for the text to be read aloud. No composer ever arranged so much music for the piano. Two song arrangements will be performed before the final tribute. Liszt was also prolific at creating original compositions based upon popular operas. In the true Lisztian tradition, the program concludes with one of the most spectacular of his 65 operatic paraphrases, a composition written for two pianos. Freeburg Pianos has made this possible by bringing in two grand pianos.

In the true Lisztian tradition, the program concludes with one of the most spectacular of his 65 operatic paraphrases, a composition written for two pianos. These pianos will be tuned to the Equal Beating Victorian Temperament. Through the music of Franz Liszt, Landrum Presbyterian will restore the “Lost Colors and Sounds of the Romantic Period” performed by Christopher Tavernier (13 years old) and Dr. John Cobb. A few more program highlights will include: 1. The entire performance will be performed with two pianos. 2. There will be a multi-image show and a commentator as part of the performance. 3. This will be a true “Lisztian Event,” so attendees should bring their own jewelry. The event will be held Aug. 25 at 3 p.m. at Landrum Presbyterian

Rattles, banks,whistles at Tryon Painters and Sculptors The Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS) have scheduled ceramic artist Gary Huntoon for a workshop on ceramic boxes or rattles, banks and whistles. The workshop, open to all, will be held on two Thursdays, Sept. 5 and 11 at the studios of Tryon Painters and Sculptors The gallery is located at 26 Maple Street in Tryon, North Carolina. The style of work that Huntoon is known for is bold shapes, often-functional pieces and assemblages of ceramic shapes, often in a totem configuration. He has an unusual glazing effect that gives his pieces a stark, almost oriental look and several pieces were recently featured in several local shows. “My Dad had an auto body shop, so I was always building something, soapbox derby cars, tree houses, model boats and (Continued on page 17)

The Honeycutters and Bob Sinclair close out Summer Tracks The Honeycutters and Bob Sinclair are set to take the Summer Tracks stage at Rogers Park on Aug. 23 for the sixth and final concert of the 2013 season. The evening begins at 7 p.m. with Hickory singer/songwriter Bob Sinclair. A true genre blender, Sinclair’s original songs bring together the sounds of jazz, country and folk. His smooth voice, bright lyrics and skillful guitar create a space where porch swings, poetry and American music all find common footing. Hailing from Asheville, the popular Honeycutters have been on tour most of this summer and fans are expected to turn out in good number to welcome them home at this Tryon event. At their heart, the Honeycutters are the musical collaboration of singer/songwriter Amanda Anne Platt and lead guitarist/producer Peter James. While their sound has drawn comparisons to such artists as Gram Parsons (Continued on page 23)

and Emmylou Harris, as well as Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Platt and James produce refreshingly original Americana music that is comfortingly familiar. Like so many of country music’s great duos, Platt and James have a chemistry that is felt by all who hear them. Adding their own rich talents to Honeycutter’s sound are Tal Taylor on mandolin, Rick Cooper on bass and Josh Milligan on drums. The band’s most recent release, “When Bitter Met Sweet” (2012), hit no. 23 on the Americana Chart and landed at no. 94 for the year. It was also one of the top ten best selling albums at Merlefest in 2012. The record came in at no. 4 in WNCW’s listener voted top 100, and no. 2 in the regional favorites (right behind The Avett Brothers). Hwy. 108 Their first full-length studio rdton, releaseNC “Irene”28139 (May ’09) garnered radio support across the USA as -286-1743 well as overseas. Platt, herself, has been hailed as “one of the best songwriters coming out of WNC these days” by WNCW programming director Martin Anderson. Her song, “Little Bird,” won second place in the general category of the Chris Austin Songwriting contest in 2011. Peter James is rapidly becoming one of Western North Carolina’s most sought after guitar players.

writer Don Witcher. In 2004, they released a self-titled album, which reached No. 14 on the AMA chart. The Honeycutters have shared the stage with Americana giants Guy Clark, Tony Rice, The Seldom Scene, Donna The Buffalo and The Steep Canyon Rangers. They have been voted Western North Carolina’s favorite local Americana act (2011 Mountain Xpress reader’s poll) and delighted audiences from upstate New York to Seattle. In case of rain, the concert will move indoors to the Tryon Fine Arts Center. Directions and information can be found at www. tryonarts.org. All Summer Tracks concerts are free, though a voluntary donation is encouraged. JR’s wood-fired pizzas, water and soft drinks will be for sale.
