agreement.

During the 2007-2008 fiscal year, Columbus asked the state to allow the town to conduct its own soil and erosion control program and approved its own ordinance. After trained town staff enforced the ordinance for a couple of years, there is no longer anyone qualified to do so.

Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe told council several weeks ago the town either needed to give enforcement back to the state or contract with another entity.

Jones and Berry said they administer several jurisdictions within Henderson County, as well as the county’s ordinance, but this would be the first contract across county borders.

Jones said there are some differences between Henderson County’s and Columbus’ ordinances, but not many, so it would not be difficult for them to enforce.

Councilwoman Ernie Kan said Columbus looked at Hen-

derson County’s ordinance when the town drafted their own.

Kanipe said Henderson County conducts enforcement for any earth moving over 1 acre. Over the past three years, Columbus has only had a handful of incidences that needed permitting for earth moving, Kanipe said, and the town’s current fees are enough to cover Henderson County’s costs.

In the past year and a half, Columbus soil and erosion ordinance was triggered by the state employee credit union bank building and the St. Luke’s Hospital expansion. Kanipe said like any zoning process, the town either has someone come in and submit an application or town staff may see something going on and the town will start the process with Henderson County.

Jones said the inter-local agreement should make Henderson County’s Oct. 7 agenda.

The state board of soil and erosion control meets quarterly and is scheduled to meet again in November.

Couple steals car from downtown Tryon

by Samantha Hurst

Greenville County sheriff’s deputies and Tryon police officers apprehended a Tryon couple in Gowensville Monday evening after they stole a car from outside Buck’s Pizza in Tryon around 6:12 p.m.

Angela Denise Ross, 46, and Steven Brent Mooney, 26, both of 161 Melrose Avenue, Tryon, were stopped at the Spinx in Gowensville after a Tryon officer pulled up behind them at the intersection of Hwy. 14 and Hwy. 11.

Tryon Police Chief Jeff Arrowood said one of his officers headed through Landrum seeking the car out.

“The last two or three cars we’ve had stolen have gone toward Greenville for some reason, so our officer began looking in that general direction,” Arrowood said.

Officers originally received a call of a stolen 2011 Chevy Malibu just after 6 p.m. The keys were in the vehicle at the time it was stolen.

Arrowood said crimes like this do happen in small towns.

“I would advise people to lock their cars and take their keys with them, because even though you’d like to think you could leave your car or your home unlocked, you never know what could happen,” Arrowood said. “Had his doors been locked and no keys, who knows if they would have stolen the car, but the opportunity was there and some people can’t resist that urge.”

Arrowood said Tryon plans to charge the couple with possession of a stolen vehicle. He said the two remain in Greenville County custody, where Ross is charged with possession of a stolen vehicle because she was driving the vehicle.

Mooney was charged with petty larceny for theft of the cash that was in the vehicle.

Both the automobile and $90 in cash were recovered, Arrowood said.

Ross is in the Greenville County Detention Center under a $10,000 bond, Mooney under a $5,000 bond.

Tryon to keep 10-day water bill policy New bills state cutoff date

A missing wife, missing cook, a damaged car, reoccurring back spasm, whiplash, and rumors!

Tryon council members decided to keep the town’s new water bill policy in place, which disconnects service when a bill is unpaid for 10 days past due, despite some complaints.

Council met Sept. 17 and discussed its policy and a new notice that states the actual cutoff date of service. This new notice was included on late bills as of Sept. 20.

Tryon Town Manager Joey Davis said as council has seen in the newspaper and letters, several citizens have voiced concerns over the new water policy. Most, Davis said, would like to see the town extend its policy. Davis said the town is limited on water bills as to what can be printed, but the new bills will give a date in which service will be disconnected.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said the town has roughly 2,000 water customers and asked how many were scheduled for cutoff most recently. Davis said the last cutoff had 61 customers scheduled to be disconnected.

Peoples said last month there were approximately 3 percent of customers who had a problem paying bills and maybe the new message will lower that number.

Tryon approved a new policy that went into effect on July 1 that gives customers 10 days past the

Davis said the last cutoff had 61 customers scheduled to be disconnected. due date before service is disconnected. The new policy was approved in May, following the town seeing more than $50,000 in delinquent bills owed to the town.

A customer ’s service is disconnected on the 11th day past due. For the first couple of months of the new policy, the bill stated, “the cutoff day is scheduled.” The new bills will say the actual cutoff date. Bills in Tryon are due on the 15th, so the service could be discontinued as early as the 26th of the month with a $35 reconnect fee.

Davis encouraged anyone with a question or problem about utility bills to contact town hall.

Tryon does have a payment plan for customers who have issues paying their bills.

Tryon has also recently given Davis approval to find a company to contract with so customers can pay their bills with credit or debit cards.

Ours

Yours

Keeping safety, rights in check Results of a joint operation held at the end of August have stirred heated debate in the community over whether or not vehicle checkpoints in Polk County are excessive.

We’ve all likely driven up on flashing lights, sunk down in our seats, started to breathe a bit heavier as we try and remember if our insurance card is in our wallet. Most drivers get nervous as they go through a checkpoint, even when they have nothing to worry about as law-abiding citizens. Some residents, though, feel even as lawabiding citizens they should worry. They say our local law enforcement working with Homeland Security sends a bad signal. They say the number of checkpoints is excessive.

Though most on our staff say they’ve rarely driven through a checkpoint here, many of us also admit we’re rarely out later on weekend nights when checkpoints might be more likely.

We do see the results, however, of the many stops that are made.

We’ve also heard people say they’ve been stopped multiple times.

It is a fundamental right – in fact even patriotic – to question your government. One should certainly raise a red flag when you think facts point to a segment of that government overstepping their bounds.

This is why civil discourse on topics like this is so important.

But take a look at recent Columbus police reports and one sees statistics our staff thinks show legitimate reasons for toughly scrutinizing traffic, especially near I-26. Chief Chris Beddingfield recently reported the arrests of three gang members through vehicle stops.

One Crip gang member was a fugitive, possessed drugs, committed several traffic offenses and was carrying a gun. A Sur 13 gang member from Hendersonville was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon and fugitive.

In years past, the Columbus police department has recovered thousands of dollars in drug money, drugs and weapons. Sure there are incentives for them doing so – they recoup a percentage of the money and can use it to purchase items such as new firearms. But this creates at least two incentives for residents – offset costs for equipment and overall community safety.

These individuals being caught are often not small time criminals.

We’re talking about repeat offenders coming through our area who have committed serious crimes. Without these traffic stops these criminals would likely not have been caught. We’re also talking about impaired drivers who could critically injure other motorists, people you and I care about deeply.

This is the job we pay our law enforcement members to do.

Letter to the Editor

Discriminating between waterlines on “public” and “private” roads To the editor: I don’t understand why some of the commissioners are making such a big deal about extending waterlines along “private” roads in Polk County. The majority suggests it’s somehow wrong for Polk County to join with homeowners along privately maintained roads in financing waterline extensions, as the county does along so-called “public” roads.

Under the former waterline extension policy, all citizens paid 40 percent of the extension costs with the county paying 60 percent. Now, citizens living along state-maintained roads will still pay only 40 percent, but citizens who live along roads they themselves pay to maintain must pay 100 percent of the extension costs, with no help at all from the county.

As reported in the Tryon Daily Bulletin, commissioner Pack said he doesn’t want “county money to be used on private roads….”

When he said that, Pack’s voice was filled with contempt. Well, there’s no such thing, really, as “county money.” It’s all the taxpayers’ money, and taxpayers who live on privately maintained roads pay taxes just like those who live on state maintained roads.

I can’t think of any legitimate reason for making such a distinction.

Polk County does not maintain either public or private roads.

Nor does it hold rights-of-way for either public or private roads.

Pretty much all of the existing subdivisions in Polk County have private roads in them, not state-maintained roads. Limiting shared cost waterlines only to public roads will drastically limit the number of customers available to the Polk County water system.

It rules out what are the most efficient and financially feasible

areas for waterlines: existing subdivisions, in which road frontages are typically less than they are for properties outside of subdivisions.

That is detrimental to the county’s policy of trying to get the 1,000 customers it needs to be able to maintain a water treatment plant.

It’s not like “private roads” in Polk County are all in gated communities. Very few are, and those could be distinguished.

The public freely uses privately maintained roads, as do governmental entities. So that’s not a good distinction.

The only significant difference between public and private roads in Polk County is that the state maintains “public” roads and private citizens maintain “private” roads.

That has nothing to do with waterlines. It does mean, however, that landowners along “private” roads save the taxpayers a great deal of money, by taking on the burden of maintaining the roads themselves. Maybe landowners along private roads

should get a discount on waterline costs in return for that, rather than the penalty the majority wants to impose.

When we revised the former waterline extension policy, we did require that developers of new subdivisions pay the entire cost of extending waterlines to, and within, the new subdivisions.

That is a reasonable distinction, since it’s to enhance the value of the developer’s lots and so the developer can sell them for a higher price.

But we felt that citizens in existing subdivisions, some that have been in place 40 or more years, should be treated just the same as any other Polk County citizen.

Is this new policy yet another example of the majority’s “us vs. them” mentality? A campaign to discriminate against those they don’t think are “their people,” or “their supporters?”

Think about it. Few of Polk County’s native families live in subdivisions. The folks in subdi-

visions are mainly “move-ins,” families who have moved here from somewhere else. Is the majority trying to funnel the monies collected from all of the taxpayers only to the people the majority appears to consider “their people?”

Interestingly, Commissioner Ted Owens huffed during the waterline discussion that “if you’re going to charge one, you’ve got to charge all.”

But then he contradicted his own principle, by turning around and voting to charge citizen/ taxpayers on publicly maintained roads only 40 percent of the cost while charging citizen/taxpayers on privately maintained roads 100 percent of the cost of extending waterlines.

Discriminating between homeowners who happen to live along privately maintained roads, as compared with homeowners who happen to live along state-maintained roads makes no sense, and is inappropriately discriminatory.

To the editor: I read with interest your Sept.

18 article “Residents Say Too Many Police Checkpoints.”

One quote caught my attention by Debbie Arceneaux saying, “Homeland Security has purchased more than 9 billion rounds of ammunition.”

That seemed like an extraordinary number and I remembered reading about this in a recent article in the American Rifleman (Sept. 10, 2013 by Jon Draper), which happens to be the official publication of the National Rifle Association.

In it, Mr. Draper wrote: “But that’s only a drop in the bucket compared to the solicitation by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for 450 million rounds of .40 caliber jacketed hollow-points over the next five years.

At least one politician thought such an open-ended contract stunk enough to look a bit further. After receiving numerous questions from his constituents regarding the contract, pro-Second Amendment U.S. Rep. Lynn Westmoreland (RGa.) got some answers. He issued them in a press release, explaining that the DHS contract covers the DHS police force as well as Customs and Border Protection, Federal Emergency Management Administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Secret Service, Transportation Security Administration, Citizenship and Immigration Service and more — roughly 65,000 law enforcement personnel combined.

Crunch the numbers: 1,384 rounds per officer, per year.”

Letter to the Editor

Is the sky falling?

To the editor: Is the sky falling? It could be, especially here in the good old USA since our country is under attack by the Obama regime’s divisive objectives.

With a White House having bent to dismantle our basic principles, which made us a world leader, and replacing them with virtually no concrete plan on a constructive “anything“.

“Anything” being the budget, spending, foreign policy, jobs, an ill-conceived control health plan, security, taxes and more.

Of course there is good news for investors as the stock market has been pumped up by a FED program to print money to counter all the negative things happening because of Obama‘s lack of direction and leadership.

Unfortunately this has led to consumers regressing to their ways of just a few years after the financial crisis exposed their irresponsible savings habits. The savings rate was just 3.8 percent in August 2008. From there, it has increased, going as high as 8.7 percent in December 2012.

Since December of last year, savings rates have declined to near pre-recession rates, below 5 percent, and as of July, it stood at 4.4 percent.

Consumer confidence had its first consecutive monthly drop in 14 months and the largest miss vs. expectations on record.

Coming in at 76.8 (against an expectation of 82.0), this is the lowest in five months and points to the picture of a consumer increasingly affected by rising interest rates and soaring gas prices amid stagnant incomes.

This is the exact same pattern that has played out in the last two cycles and suggests significant downside risk to US equities. The economic outlook sub-index collapsed to its lowest since January.

And finally with the implementation of Obamacare reeking havoc on family finances and ruining one of the best heath care systems, the economy is destined to get worse. The people being hit first are retirees from a number of large companies, including IBM and Time Warner, who have been tossed into the Medicare-eligible insurance exchanges. For those Obama supporters who don’t know the difference between a health care system and a health insurance system, let me make it simple for you. Our health care system doesn’t turn away anyone, including illegal aliens, in need of emergency services.

Health insurance companies provide selected coverage to those who can pay based on a number of factors including age, sex and demographics.

If you like what’s happening to this country, I wish you well.

But don’t look up, it could be hazardous to your health.

Polk County to hold its 2013 Big Sweep project Oct. 26 You may think the fast food wrapper that was in the ditch yesterday disappeared, but in reality, it was blown or washed just a little further down the road. Eventually, it will arrive in our waterways.

“The sad part about litter is that it hurts everyone,” said Chad Essick, NC Big Sweep chairman. “It affects our economy, our health, and our wildlife.”

Last year, Big Sweep volunteers retrieved everything from cups and cans to lawn chairs and beds.

“Unfortunately, there is more litter out there that needs to be retrieved,” said Essick. “We really need your help before it causes any more harm to our environment.”

In Polk County, the Green River Gorge is a major asset in terms of natural beauty and tourism dollars. The tens of thousands of citizens and visitors that come to the Green River however often leave debris and litter along the river and the adjacent roadsides.

Each year, a small but dedicated group of volunteers put in a few morning hours to clean-up the accumulated trash, for the benefit of all of Polk County. Once again, we are calling on the local citizens to help out this year on the morning of Saturday, Oct. 26. An additional Big Sweep effort will be held the morning of Oct.5, and will focus on Lake Adger.

To get involved, Polk County Big Sweep will have two efforts on the Green River. The Lake Adger clean-up on Oct. 5 will be from boats, concentrating on trash collected in coves. Anyone interested in helping out can contact Jamie Davidson at lakeadger. lamc@yahoo.com.

The Green River clean-up on Oct. 26 will begin at 9 a.m. from the Fishtop Access parking area on Green River Cove Road. Please contact Mark Byington at 828859-6874 or go to the Big Sweep website at www.ncbigsweep.org to learn more.

Ike charms Laurelhurst residents The Polk County Sheriff’s Department’s new police dog, Ike, and his handler, Ronnie Russell, recently visited the residents at Laurelhurst Retirement Community.

A group of devotees from Tryon Estates visited Gallery I at Tryon Fine Arts Center last week to view the one-of-a-kind pieces produced by Tryon Estates resident and philluminist (matchbook collector), Lew Phillips. Matchbook cover collage art grew from his passion as a collector. Phillips now makes various art objects for his own enjoyment. Rarely has this collection been seen, in which bits of matchbooks are organized thematically, then glued to a surface. Standing, left to right, Phyllis and Tom Ruegg, Carol Hickey, Edna Lay, Lu Murch, Lew Phillips and Jody Solesbee. Gallery I hours are Tuesday – Friday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.-1 p.m. The exhibit closes Saturday, Sept. 28. For more information contact Tryon Fine Arts Center at 828-859-8322.
