Tryon denies motion to rescind tax increase by Leah Justice

Tryon Commissioners Wim Woody and Roy Miller attempted to rescind the town’s July decision to increase its property tax rate by 2.5 cents, but the majority of the board voted down the motion. Tryon council met Tuesday, Aug. 20 and heard a motion by Woody to rescind the tax increase with Miller

seconding the motion. Commissioners Doug Arbogast and George Baker voted no, with the tie broken by Mayor Alan Peoples who also voted no. Tryon adopted its 2013-2014 budget in June without setting a tax rate because the state had not yet decided if it was going to give hold harmless

Polk to grant Saluda Center $15k to construct addition by Leah Justice

The Polk County Board of Commissioners approved paying Don Mintz Builders LLC $15,000 to construct an addition on the Saluda Center. Commissioners met Monday, Aug. 19 and unanimously approved paying to have the center’s addition put into the dry. The enclosure of the deck will

be 36 ft. by 28 ft., with part of the construction to remove the existing handrails, installing walls, windows, a door and vinyl siding. Commissioners decided to pay Mintz directly and to take the money from the manager’s discretion fund. The county was first asked during budget discussions in May

to help pay to fix damage to the deck of the Saluda Center. Saluda Center chair Karen Bultman approached the county asking for help and explained that damage to the deck occurred because when the deck was first constructed it was built with untreated wood. The center had intended to

increase, with Miller voting against and Woody absent from the meeting. Woody said he takes seriously rescinding laws that have already been passed but he was not present at the July 29 meeting and would not have voted for a tax increase. “I don’t think an increase was warranted,” said Woody. He said Tryon has about $500,000 in its fund balance and

could have used that to make up the difference. He also said he objects to the way the July 29 meeting was done considering the meeting was a special meeting to discuss housing for a resident and to adopt a tax rate on a budget that was already adopted. “I don’t care if it’s a penny or $10,000,” Woody said, “I’m against it.” Arbogast said if a person’s house is worth $300,000, their taxes will increase $6 per month, so he thinks it is not a huge increase. He said the town is going to have $45,000 less in revenues next fiscal year and it’s the first property tax increase in 12 years. Baker said he doesn’t like paying extra taxes but it has become law in the last few days that the town is going to lose $90,000 in its general fund. “Taking it out of savings is the best way to go broke,” Baker said. Baker said he would rather pay half that amount this year than three times next year and he thinks it’s short sided to think the town can take the money out of fund balance. He said he’s even more sorry Woody thinks council tried to put one over on him with the meeting. Setting the tax rate was on the agenda, Baker said, and council thought it was necessary. Miller said the town doesn’t know what it will receive in hold harmless funds until September and he thinks it was premature

revenues to towns and counties any longer. Last year Tryon received approximately $88,000 in hold harmless revenue. One penny in the tax rate for Tryon equals approximately $16,000 in revenue. On July 29, Tryon held a special meeting to set the tax rate and approved a 2.5 cent

enclose the deck for additional space. The total estimate to enclose the deck is approximately $50,000. Commissioners last month decided they would pay to put the enclosure in the dry and the Saluda Center could handle finishing the addition with interior construction such as electric and plumbing.

to set a 2.5-cent tax increase. “This hold harmless may not go away,” said Miller. Miller also reviewed other rate increases since 2002, saying water rates have increased 150 percent since then. “I think at some point this town has to realize we’re not Spartanburg, not Charlotte and we’re going to have to look at outsourcing,” Miller said. “We can’t continue taxing our citizens into poverty. That’s not what government is here for.” Peoples said the town will lose 50 percent of hold harmless revenue this year and the other 50 percent next year. He reviewed the town’s financial condition when he filed for mayor in 2001 when the town was $1.6 million in the red. “I’m the person that’s been here for 12 years,” Peoples said. “I have fought tax increases for 12 years. I’m telling you we had to have it (the tax increase).” The town’s tax rate increased this fiscal year, which began July 1, from 47.78 cents per $100 of property valuation to 50.28 cents per $100 of valuation.

Saluda commissioners revisit take home vehicles by Leah Justice

Saluda Commissioners debated on Monday, Aug. 12 whether or not it’s beneficial for some employees to take home city vehicles. No decisions were made to change the current policy of vehicles driven to and from home to work. Mayor Fred Baisden initiated the conversation saying two years ago the city decided they would allow take home vehicles on a six-month trial basis and look at it at the end of six months. “We haven’t looked at it and it’s been two years,” said Baisden. Baisden said he had finance officer Ron Cole put together some documents on mileage. The mileage was reviewed with commissioners for a dodge, a 2002 Ford Explorer and a 2010 Ford Explorer. Baisden said on average, the Dodge is driven to and from work 8,268 miles per year, the 2002 Explorer is driven 4,772 miles per year and the 2010 Explorer is driven 15,964 miles per year based on miles to and from each employee’s home to work and back five days per week. At 15 miles per gallon and gasoline being $3.25 per gallon, that’s $6,284 per year, Baisden said, not counting wear and tear on the vehicles. Commissioner Johnnie Kinard said the idea of employees taking home vehicles started with former police chief, the late Rick Corley, who Kinard said paid to use the city’s vehicle. Kinard said ever since the chief has been given a vehicle, but the city restricts it to drive to and from work only. “I’m not sure but pretty much most city administrators are furnished a vehicle and I know all the chiefs in the area have a police vehicle,” Kinard said. He said administrators and chiefs are on call and it’s a safety issue. Commissioner George Sweet said the theory behind the take

“How do we even know how these cars are being used. I tried to get a mileage usage report and I guess one doesn’t exist.” -- Karen Bultman, Saluda resident

home vehicles for the chief and administrator is they are on call all the time. Saluda resident Karen Bultman asked the board who determines what is a reasonable distance from Saluda. She said there’s a big difference from someone who lives on Henderson Street (in Saluda) and someone who lives 15-20 miles away. “How do we even know how these cars are being used,” Bultman asked. “I tried to get a mileage usage report and I guess one doesn’t exist.” Sweet said he had to keep a log when he had a company vehicle and the reason he had to keep a log was because he was also allowed to use the vehicle for personal use. The city’s requirements, Sweet said, is the vehicle is to be used to go home and back and they can do some incidental stops on the way. “I don’t have a problem trusting those employees to do what they are supposed to do with city vehicles,” Sweet said. He said the city needs to evaluate whether it’s cost effective to have those employees take vehicles back and forth. The benefit, Sweet said, is that the city expects those employees to respond to the needs of the city 24 hours a day seven days a week. Sweet said although he doesn’t know of police activities, he’s seen city administrator Erny Williams in town at night, on weekends and holidays responding to city situations. “And I don’t think the 8,000 miles he’s using is an inappropriate expense,” Sweet said. “I’m OK with it.”

Besides, what could you communicate that you didn’t in the first 18-20 years anyway? maybe you would recommend some reading? Psalms? Proverbs? ecclesiastes? the Gospel of John? a Prayer for owen meany? for me, there are three things i want to cover: meaning, hope and love. as i see it, meaning comes through a faith that is

grounded in God’s presence in this world, which ties us together (all creation). this reveals our connectedness and means what we do and how we do it matters. We are part of something bigger than ourselves. i want to talk about this because it prepares us all for the difficult days we inevitably encounter in life that can introduce us to meaninglessness or the dark night of the soul (as St. John of the Cross described it). Knowing that we are connected to something bigger than ourselves is what, i find, can help us get through what we didn’t think we (continued on page 9)

So to my children i say, “Choose what is real and true.” all else disappoints. the holy Spirit, which abides in you, will help you choose well, but only if you listen well. and then, Jesus’ victory over death is what draws us forward into eter-

nal life even at what could be our most hopeless moment when we take our last breath. this is our lifesaving hope, that we are more than grass that fades in the heat of the sun after a season. in his letter to the Corinthians, Paul wrote, “and now faith, hope and love abide, these three, and the greatest of these is love.” i guess this is probably the simplest to discuss and the most difficult to live out. “Let everything else fall away but know that i love you, God loves you and that you can love others,” is what i will say even though i’ve been spending the last two decades trying to do it. So, those are just some

of my thoughts. Who do you need to talk to? is there someone you need to have a “So, you’re getting married?” talk with, or “What’s important to you now that you are retiring, dying or graduating?” it is a gift to have these discussions. don’t let not knowing what to say scare you from having your discussion. What you start with is just the beginning of the discussion and the gift. - Rob parsons, pastor for the Saluda and Columbus United Methodist Churches

hunting country. She dedicated most of her life to the service of the equestrian community. In New York, she was an active huntsman with the Smithtown Hunt Club, secretary to the North Shore Horse Show in Old Field and record keeper for the Madison Square Garden Horse Show. Irene was also a National Steward for the better part of 40 years until 2006 when she officially retired from stewarding. While in the Tryon area Irene was very active in the Tryon Hounds and became their first Hilltop Field Master, a position she held for about 20 years. For

those of you who may remember, back in the 1970s she was also the official â&#x20AC;&#x153;hairnet hander-outerâ&#x20AC;? for the Tryon Hounds. Another show of her dedication to the horse world was establishing the Tryon Hounds Horse Show and Country Fair, which ran at Harmon Field and FENCE for 11 successful years. Aside from her life with horses, Irene was also an ardent reader, gardener and animal lover. As we all knew, her pool was one of her favorite places to be, reading and soaking up the sun. Irene was predeceased by her son, Jeffrey. She is survived by her other children, David

(Holly) of Wilmington, N.C.; Bruce (Anna) of Shoreham, N.Y.; and Cynthia (Thomas) of Miller Place, N.Y. She also left behind nine granddaughters, six greatgrandchildren and her cousin, James (Lolly) of Camden, Maine. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in the memory of Irene C. Acker to the Tryon Hounds, P.O. Box 112, Tryon, NC 28782; the Long Island Museum, 1200 Rte. 25A, Stony Brook, NY 11790; and the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease Resource Center, 45 Park Avenue, Bay Shore, NY 11706. The family will be holding a private memorial in New York.

He was a Baptist and retired from Stonecutter Mill. He is survived by four sons, Marshall Pritchard (Karen), Troy Leon Pritchard (Molly), Billy Dean Pritchard (Carol) and Randy Pritchard; two daughters, Iris Pritchard and Jan Boone (Jerry); three sisters, Kathleen Harris,

Rosa Parton and Dorothy Culbreth; 16 grandchildren and 23 greatgrandchildren. He was predeceased by two brothers, James Pritchard and Huey Pritchard; and two sisters, Mary Ramsey and Estelle Pritchard. The family will receive friends from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, August

22, 2013 at Petty Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Byars Baptist Church conducted by Rev. Charles Arledge. Burial will be in Byars Baptist Church Cemetery. Condolences may be left at www.pettyfuneralhome.com.

Tryon Arts and Crafts holds Natural Wonders exhibit A new show with an emphasis on raw materials is scheduled to open on Friday, Aug. 23 at Tryon Arts and Crafts School. The show will run until Sept. 28. The “Natural Wonders” exhibit will feature artists who create works from wood, metal or clay. The display will feature the raw materials that each sculpture or painting has been derived from to show the transformation of the materials under the artist’s hand and with their imagination. A member of the woodcarvers’ group at Tryon Arts and Crafts School is Bill Davin. He has a large sculpture that measures almost 5 feet carved from a Cypress knee, which is the pointed eruption at the base of a Cypress tree. It depicts a gnarled portrait of a male face and is entitled “Spirit of the Cypress Swamp.” Another woodcarver/member is Don Blackwell, a wellknown instructor and artist from Columbus. His carving from an old stump is a dual portrait entitled “El Anciano Espera La Muerte,” which translated means an old man waiting for death. It is carved from a black gum tree stump and will take a few moments for the viewer to decipher the image. Local artist Bob Neely has a couple of metal sheet pieces that give reference to the mathematical symbol “Pi”. Neely’s work shows his accurate and technical skills in a gridded wall piece that reflects light in an unusual manner. Christine Mariotti, gallery director, said she is excited for visitors to view the show as it represents the best of work created by the school’s craftspeople over the last few months and she believes everyone will be amazed at the transformation of the materials by talented artists. The exhibit, the first of the

fall season, is located in the newly air-conditioned gallery of the Tryon Arts and Crafts School at 373 Harmon Field Road, in Tryon. The public is invited to meet the artists at an opening reception on Friday, Sept. 23 from 6-8 p.m. For more information about our organization, please contact the office at 828-859-8323 or visit www.TryonArtsandCrafts. org. – article submitted by Christine Mariotti

Barn and stable owners can take simple steps to prevent fire. (photo by Kirk Gollwitzer)

Barn safety: Ways to protect your barn against fires by Kirk Gollwitzer

In many stories about barn and stable fires, you’ll hear, “By the time help arrived the fire was out of control.” Rarely have there been updates to even the most unforgettable barn fires in Polk County history, like the Nov. 15, 2001 Green Creek fire in which six horses and a pregnant foxhound were trapped inside. Plastic coated appliance wire, cobwebs and faulty electrical designs are just a few of the many causes of barn fires each year. Anna Dalton of The Hay Rack in Landrum says there are many things in a barn that owners need to keep a close eye on. Faulty wiring, dusty fans and bales of hay are all too often the primary cause of fast moving flames. When it comes to barn safety, Dalton suggests not running fans continuously throughout

the day, cleaning and inspecting the condition of all fans and replacing them earlier rather than later. “A barn should always have more than one way out. Also, don’t store hay in the barn and remove all fuel sources,” said Dalton. Dalton said she understands the need for insurance, but admits, “even if you are lucky enough to have insurance the pain of losing your beloved animals far outweighs the loss of the structures… I am still in pain over some of the fires that have occurred in Polk County.” According to reports at the time of the Green Creek blaze, Fire Chief Geoffrey Tennant arrived at the Sandy Plains home of Fran and Gary Garside ,only to find their barn engulfed in flames and about to collapse. Fran Garside reported that one horse survived because he was in the only stall that had a

door to the outside. Garside said by the time the fire department arrived, five of the horses were already down. Smoke, heat and flames spread in an instant during barn tragedies because most everything in a barn is flammable. Dalton suggests making sure the doorways are wide enough to evacuate more than one horse at a time. She said owners should also remove objects on the ground and walls that can cause both horses and humans to trip or become snagged.

Maintaining a fire-safe barn and stable:

• Have a fire inspection done by the local fire department • Never allow smoking in or near a barn • Keep the barn isles clean and clutter free • Maintain a fire apron around your property by removing tall grass, shrubbery and trash • Keep fire extinguisher’s maintained and learn how to use them • Understand the basics of spontaneous combustion with regard to hay bales and follow a proper way of disposing manure • Look for wiring modification made by raccoons, mice and rats • Give horses a door to the outside

Witherspoon volunteers at Gould Farm in Monterey Amanda Witherspoon of Columbus has recently undertaken a Brethren Volunteer Service (BVS) assignment with Gould Farm in Monterey, Mass. Gould Farm is a respected non-sectarian working farm for persons with severe mental illness. It offers a healing milieu of care, work, rest and counseling, accommodating 40 guests. The farm consists of 600 acres including a 100-acre farm in picturesque New England. Individuals suffering from mental illness such as schizophrenia, major depression and bi-polar disease have found that living and working within a community that offers friendship in a setting of natural beauty provides the necessary support to promote their ability to develop and/or improve functional skills. Witherspoon will be working at the Roadside Store & Café, where she will work alongside guests and gain experience in both restaurant/retail management and human services. Witherspoon finished two semesters at Isothermal Community College before transferring to North Greenville University, where she studied intercultural studies. She has served as a volunteer at The Meeting Place,

a senior center where she was responsible for cleaning, cooking, and serving the residents. She also volunteered at the Golden Living Assisted Living Facility as activities volunteer and was vice president of Programming and Treasurer for the Cub Scouts. Witherspoon’s assignment to Gould Farm followed an orientation at the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Md., where a group of 24 volunteers came together from all over the United States and Germany. For three weeks, they lived together as a community and studied topics of nonviolence, peacemaking, human rights, and simple living. They also gained first-hand volunteer experience working with local organizations in New Windsor, Harrisburg, Pa. and New Oxford, Pa. Orientation builds community spirit among participants through personal sharing, fellowship and increased knowledge of the world. Witherspoon is taking part in a long-standing tradition of ministry through service. BVS, established in 1948, works at advocating justice, peacemaking, serving human needs, and caring for creation. Approximately 85 current BVSers serve in the United States and abroad work-

ing with various peace and social/ economic justice organizations. They focus on current social needs including care for children, youth and senior citizens; ecological issues; homelessness; refugee assistance; domestic and international peacemaking; and general community services. In exchange for their work, volunteers receive room, board and a small monthly stipend from their project. Brethren Volunteer Service, a program of the Church of the Brethren, is open to any person 18 years or older interested in service through a Christian program. Witherspoon can be reached through the BVS office at 1451 Dundee Avenue, Elgin, Ill. 60120. - article submitted by Julia Schmidt

We have continued to grow our business relationship into a budding partnership that we hope will serve the community well for many years to come.” Those attending are asked to bring their own place settings, a favorite seasonal dish to share with the group, and a description of that dish (listing anything local that is used in its making.)
