Rep. headquarters construction begins Columbus says it can have no part in easement decisions

by Leah Justice

Local residents can now see exactly where the new Polk County

Republican Headquarters building will be situated.

Construction on the steel frame began a couple of weeks ago with the walls and roof beginning last week.

The general contractor for the project is Myron Yoder of Green Creek.

Polk Republican officials had asked the Town of Columbus to step in and help with ensuring that the side of the new building along an easement is not used for general parking.

Columbus Town Council met (Continued on page 5)

• Saluda forum (continued from page 1)

The questions asked candidates to comment on issues ranging from the city’s recent 10-cent tax increase to partnering with the county and towns to form a water authority.

Tax increase All candidates said they do not support the recent tax increase, with both incumbents saying they voted against it. Cass said she would not have supported the tax increase either.

“Commissioners did support the tax rate but I did not,” John Morgan said. “I wanted to negotiate a lower rate then take a look at it next year.”

John Morgan added that the cost of living in Saluda is going to get so high the city will start losing people. He suggested the city look into a sales tax to help increase revenue.

“To put on 10 cents right now in a bad economy was a bad idea,” John Morgan said. “We’re adding to our fund balance but we need

to be careful how vigorously we go after that.”

Leon Morgan said he did not vote for the tax increase either.

“I felt like it was too much,” Leon Morgan said. “It was truly a burden on some people. Some people got a sizeable increase.”

Cass said she wouldn’t have voted for the tax increase either.

“I think it was too much at one time,” Cass said. “I just think when people got their bill nobody quite understood it. When you see your bill go up 20 percent… (the city) needs to communicate that better.”

Cass said she thinks the city should look at smart growth and lower taxes. She suggested the city create a community forum to ask residents what businesses Saluda needs, such as along Ozone Drive.

• Saluda forum (continued from page 3)

“We’ve got to have more people in town to pay taxes,” Cass said. “We need all the revenue we can get.”

Tourism The next question came from the audience and asked candidates how they feel tourism affects Saluda.

All candidates said tourism is positive for Saluda; Leon Morgan said every time there is an art show sales go up. Cass said tourism equals economic development.

She said if a train came through and dumped people in Saluda, “we’d find a way to handle it.”

John Morgan said tourism is very important to Saluda and mentioned the rails to trails effort as well, saying Saluda needs to plan ahead for that possibility.

Comunicating with residents Another audience question related to communication. One resident said many Saluda resi-

dents feel it’s a challenge to know what’s going on. The website was mentioned, saying it lacks information such as time and place of meetings. Residents who attend meetings sit through a long treasurer’s report and have no idea what is being reviewed, one resident said.

“That is really my main campaign platform,” said Cass. “The website needs to be updated; Leon [Morgan] nor [commissioner] George [Sweet’s] bios are even on there.”

Cass said she thinks the city needs a newsletter that goes out once a month with the water bill that directs residents to the website for information. The website should have agendas, minutes and ordinances, Cass said.

“If you go to a city council meeting, you don’t know the agenda until you get there,” she said. “Everybody needs to be informed.”

John Morgan said he’s advocated for an overhead projector for the meetings, but the city

doesn’t have the money right now. Nor does the city have the manpower for a newsletter or to update the website, he said.

John Morgan said the city needs an email blast and said if someone wants to come forward to volunteer to update the website or produce a newsletter, the city would welcome that.

Leon Morgan said informing residents of Saluda has been a problem as long as he’s lived there. He said emails could be done and even people that come to meetings miss some things that go on.

“I don’t know what the solution is,” Leon Morgan said.

“Maybe sending out a letter every month is the answer, but it’s going to cost $1 a copy if we’re lucky. The problem is having the employee time to do it.”

Police services One written question asked candidates what they thought about giving Polk County money annually to provide police services.

John Morgan said he recently spoke with Polk County Sheriff Donald Hill about the county taking over law enforcement because that’s been a question of his all along.

“If we’re going to go there it would have to be a community decision,” John Morgan said. “What I’m hearing now is we want to maintain our community police.

It would be cheaper but is it better in the long run?”

Leon Morgan said it’s nice to be able to call the police department when there is a problem.

“They’re here in two minutes,” Leon Morgan said. “If it’s Polk County, they aren’t going to be here that quick.”

He said a third of the police department money goes to other things than the officers’ salaries and the city would be paying that to Polk County, too. He also said that would need to be a decision from the residents of Saluda, not the board of commissioners.

Cass said she’s spoken to the county manager and to fund four sheriff deputies and cars would cost the same as what the Saluda Police Department costs. She said

for the security alone she is in favor of keeping the police department but suggested officers be more visible in the public and visit the school.

Local option sales tax One audience member asked candidates if the city received a local option sales tax would council consider giving a tax break on property taxes since residents would also pay that sales tax. The question also asked whether candidates would consider a discount on taxes, such as the county offers, for paying taxes early.

All candidates said those options could be considered. John Morgan said he has suggested the local option sales tax in the form of a hospitality tax because of the benefits it has brought the City of Landrum. He said Landrum’s hospitality tax puts more than $100,000 in its coffers.

“With our tourist trade we could be every bit taken care of,” said John Morgan. “I suspect in the future we see that as a vehicle to keep our property taxes in check.”

Joint water authority A written question asked candidates their thoughts on creating a water authority with the county and towns.

Leon Morgan said Saluda would need to look at it long and hard, because if Saluda goes into an authority it will have to assume the others’ debt.

“Do we want to be responsible for that?” asked Leon Morgan.

He said he doesn’t think it’s good for Saluda but would consider purchasing water from the county authority.

John Morgan said Tryon has $4.5 million in debt on water and Columbus has debt for sewer. He mentioned the Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority, with which Polk County and its towns have met to discuss how they created their authority. John Morgan said Tuckaseigee was forced into an authority because the state condemned their systems and they received an $8 million grant to form the authority.

John Morgan added that he has approached the county about bidding to sell Saluda water.

Cass said she thinks Saluda needs to work with the county and towns but does not know details about the debt. She said she’s always lived in places with water authorities, but if there’s $4.5 million of debt that Saluda doesn’t want to be a part of then she wouldn’t want to join but still wants to work with them.

Polk ordinance restrictions One question asked candidates’ thoughts on Polk County’s ordinance that restricts Saluda township properties above $1,650 ft. in elevation to single family residences.

All candidates seemed interested in looking into gaining extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) to be able to zone the township areas that cannot have businesses because of the county’s ordinance or looking into annexation to aid those areas.

Free water benefits Another question expressed concern about non-profits and some residents who have served Saluda receiving some water for free.

John Morgan said if the city is

going to take that away it needs to be a community decision.

Non-profits, such as churches, the fire department and the senior center, as well as some residents, have been awarded a certain amount of free water per month.

“It could be very polarizing in town and I don’t want to see that happen,” John Morgan said.

Leon Morgan said he thinks it would be in bad taste if this board took something away that was promised to them. He also said that would have to be a community decision and mentioned that it doesn’t cost the city much money per year; he suspected $500 in actual water costs.

Cass said the issue may be more polarizing that some people are getting free water in Saluda.

She said she’d like to see how much it would cost churches if they had to pay. She said she’d rather give service members a stipend every month than have it come from free water.

Early voting in Polk County ends this Saturday and can be done at the Polk County Board of Election’s Office in Columbus between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. through Friday. On Saturday, the office is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The general election will be next Tuesday, Nov. 8.

Oct. 20 and announced that the town can have no part of a private property issue. The town and local Republican officials discussed how the town could help over the past few months with the last request being if the town could designate the easement as a fire lane.

Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre said the town looked into state code and spoke with the fire chief and it’s “just not possible” for the town to designate the area a fire lane.

“The town does not need to be a referee in this matter,” McIntyre said.

Council directed town manager Jonathan Kanipe to send local businesses a letter saying

the parking issue is something private property owners should work out.

The new building is expected to take three months to construct, weather permitting. The building is made of steel, but will have similar exteriors to other new buildings in Columbus.

The new building is located on Peake Street in Columbus where the former Republican headquarters was torn down. The former building suffered a roof collapse in December 2009 and was demolished last year. The new building is on the same lot, but shifted to the right and front to allow for parking in the rear. Emergency, garbage and supply vehicles will enter to the left of the building instead of from the right side, which was the former rear entrance.

Polk recreation soccer wraps 2011 season for grades 8 - 12

Polk County Recreation Soccer, grades 8-12, ended its 2011 season Oct. 22 at Harmon Field. The group consisted of 35 participants, which divided into two teams for Saturday games. The kids enjoyed a pizza party after their last game. The team’s motto was, “Peace, Love & Soccer,” which was written on all the T-shirts. Bennett King is the coach. (photo by Karen Ray)

Cardinals drop region championship

by Joey Millwood

If it could go wrong, it went wrong for Landrum football on Friday night.

Murphy’s Law may sound cliché, but the perfect storm came together on Friday night to hinder Landrum as Christ Church won the II-1A Region Championship 44-0.

Landrum’s (8-2) senior tailback Cole McDowell, who had an ankle injury in Thursday’s practice, didn’t play on Friday and the Cavaliers (9-1) were able to key in on quarterback Brandon Cannon.

The two form a dangerous rushing tandem and McDowell’s absence had a painful effect on Friday.

Player of the Week: #67 Chase McMurrary

For the Cardinals, it was a hindrance to the ground game, but you mix that in with the rain and you have the perfect storm.

McDowell’s absence hindered the ground attack and the rain hindered the passing attack, opening the door for Landrum’s offense to be held in check for the firs t time this s eas on.

“The bottom line is they beat us up front,” Landrum coach Russell Mahaffey said. “Their offensive and defensive lines did a great job tonight.”

The Christ Church defense held Cannon to just 32 yards on the ground and 84 yards passing. On

Wolverines mauled by Bearcats 37-12 in regular season finale

by Daniel Hecht

On paper, it appeared that this would turn out to be a much closer game. Both teams came into Friday night’s contest with identical records, 8-2 overall and 5-1 in the WHC. The sole conference defeat for both teams had come at the hands of Mitchell, with both teams losing to the Mountaineers by a single point.

Even the team mascots, the Wolverines and the Bearcats, are really nothing more than different names for the same animal.

Football games, however, are not played on paper, but rather, a chunk of real estate 120 yards long by 531/3 yards wide. And Friday night, on the field of play at the Little Big House, the visitors from Hendersonville left no question as to which team deserved the title of Western Highlands Conference champs, as the Bearcats thoroughly dominated the Polk County Wolverines.

“I felt like they outplayed us, outhit us and outcoached us – I’m man enough to admit it,” said Polk Head Coach Bruce Ollis following the 37-12 humbling that denied the Wolverines a third straight WHC championship. “We knew we were going to have to play about as well as we could play to beat them, and we didn’t – not by a long shot, we didn’t.”

The Bearcats jumped out to the early lead, as QB Grant Rivers connected with Mahcallum Duckett for a 25 TD strike midway through the first quarter.

Though Polk was able to answer the bell, with QB Alec Philpott sneaking into the end zone late in the quarter, the balance of the first half was all Bearcats, as Hendersonville notched three touchdowns in the span of eight minutes to make it 28-6 at the intermission.

Much of the hometown crowd, surprisingly small given the signifi-

coach Don Frost said, “and we played them pretty good.”

The Cardinals lost two fumbles, had a blocked punt and had a snap sail over Cannon’s head, which

cance of the contest, made their way to the exits, leaving the teams to play out the mostly uneventful second half in an almost surreal stillness.

“I was very disappointed with the lack of fan support we had,” said Ollis. “I thought that our seniors deserved better, and our football team deserved better.”

The loss was a disappointing end to an otherwise outstanding regular season, but Ollis promised that the Wolverines would redeem themselves as they open the state playoffs at home this week against Owen.

“We’re going to be PIGs this week – we’re going to play with Pride, Intensity and Guts,” said Ollis.

“I’ll assure you that you’re going to see a better performance out of our football team this Friday night – I will guarantee it.” resulted in touchdowns.

The primary focus for Mahaffey and the Cardinals next week during practice will be blocking. Mahaffey said he wasn’t sure if they’d get a home playoff game or not, but that they’d “work hard to get better up front” in any case.

Our family’s trip through the treacherous corn maze It was a cool dark night and the family was bundled up beyond recognition.

We had stocking hats, gloves, jackets zipped up to our chins and flashlights.

No, we were not coming together as a family and robbing a store. We were doing something far more serious, and far more brave; embarking on a mission never before attempted by the Jakubowicz family.

We were attempting to go through Strawberry Hill’s corn maze ... at night.

Excitement was at an all time high as I handed over my money.

We received a flag attached to a long pipe to carry with us.

“In case you get lost, wave the flag in the air and our spotters can come get you,” said the chipper girl taking my money. “Return the flag when you’re done so that we know you made it out.”

If we make it out? If we get lost?

What have I gotten myself into?

After all, I just drank a big cup of tea and may have to use the facilities here soon. This corn maze can't last too long.

We entered with smiles on our faces, our visible breath coming out of our mouths and flashes from the camera as we snapped pictures to remember the night.

Flashlights came on, and we were cranked up to full Dollar General battery power. We ap-

proached the entrance and stared had officially worn off. I pulled at the map of the maze posted in out a few pieces of candy for the front of us. “Gee, that looks a little kids to keep spirits up.

The giddiness ally thought was going to work.

To be honest, my wife came up with the plan, I just went along with it. I was totally, utterly, and completely lost.

“Stick to the left,” we kept telling ourselves. The lights from the entrance grew stronger as did the music. The country music played over the loud speakers could well have been angels from heaven itself as we neared the finish line.

A few more turns and we were home free. Funny thing - no one was there waiting to cheer us on.

One would think that for all of our turmoil, they would had a welcoming committee there to greet us, shake our hand, maybe even high five us. At least give us some hot cocoa or something. No, it was just the four of us, and the country music from heaven in the background.

We instead celebrated, just the four of us. The kids hailed Mommy as “genius” as I lagged behind with flag pole in hand, still wondering how she figured it out. We turned off our flashlights, turned in our flag, and, of course, made plans to do it again next year.
