Saluda considers tree trimming ordinance

by Samantha Hurst

Saluda City commissioners have decided to take up discussion on a tree trimming ordinance for the city after two residents expressed frustration over the amount of trimming done near their properties earlier this month.

Walter Hoover on Sept. 12 asked the commission why a mixed rhododendron privacy screen, that took years to create, was clear cutted at the edge of his property. Hoover said this was not the first time he had asked a city official about the issue.

“I am still waiting for full disclosure as to why this excessive bush hogging occurred,” Hoover said in the meeting. “I am frustrated because I don’t think the rights of citizens are being considered.”

A second resident, Dan Sher-

rer came before the commission along all city streets, something the town has done for years. He as well.

Sherrer and his wife, Kather- said, however, that he understands that for some people the ine, live on Ridge Drive.

Sherrer said he was frustrated necessary cuts may cross over their property over the extent lines based on to which a bank how close their was clear-cut “I am still waiting for homes set to near his prop- full disclosure as to the road. erty.

Commissioner Johnny Kinard reminded those in attendance that insurance ratings are not calculated every year, but on a random basis every three or four years.

“If they come in here and determine that we are not in compliance with the code of North Carolina, it’s going to cost us more money,” Kinard said. “I think Erny’s [Williams] right, we need to look at this and do something about this.”

Commissioner John Morgan said he still believes the requirements could be softened.

He said 20 feet off the road would be too harsh in some areas where homeowners have property that sits right on the road.

Town attorney Bailey Nager said property lines do not restrict (Continued on page 10)

Bob Mischler (center) is recognized by County Extension director John Vining and Brenda Ward, president of the Foothills Association of Master Gardeners. (photo submitted)

Mischler inducted into Second Wind Hall of Fame Longtime Polk County resident Bob Mischler was pleasantly surprised by his recent induction into the Second Wind Hall of Fame.

Mischler, who has been a stalwart volunteer for the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, was recognized in August.

A retired high school principal from Connecticut, Mischler has been involved in the community since moving to the area in 1979. His first involvement was with the Polk County 4-H Foundation, where he served in numerous roles, including board president. After three terms as foundation director, Mischler continued to help with the annual 4-H barbeque suppers.

Perhaps his greatest contri-

bution has been his work as an extension master gardener volunteer. Mischler was a member of the very first Polk County class in 1998.

In this role, Mischler helps advise local citizens about their garden problems. His volunteer time exceeds 500 hours as a Polk County Master Gardener.

Mischler has also served as treasurer of the local AARP chapter plus served as a volunteer numerous years with the Blue Ridge Barbeque Festival and the Polk County Travel and Tourism Office.

Mischler has four grown children and he and his wife Barbara live in Tryon Township.

Habitat appoints Rev. Jeff Harris to board of directors Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity (TBHH) announced the addition of the Reverend Jeff Harris, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Tryon, to its board of directors.

Harris will be in charge of community relations and dedications. He replaces Father Walter Bryan, who was with Habitat for the last five years in the same position.

“We are grateful for the many years of service Walter has given to TBHH. TBHH will miss him,” board members said.

One of the jobs for Harris will be to organize a working relationship with the other local churches and other organizations.

According to Habitat officials, the organization needs to find more qualified partners for whom a house can be provided.

At the present time, TBHH has four pre-owned houses available; two in Tryon, one in Columbus and one in Landrum. Prices for these four houses are lower compared to newly constructed ones. Application forms for partnership can be picked up at the Restore in Landrum.

Highway patrol suspends academy, freezes hiring N.C. Highway Patrol recently said budget cuts forced it to suspend its trooper academy and freeze hiring even though it has about 100 unfilled trooper positions across the state.

The state legislature has reduced funding for the highway patrol by more than $8 million (or about four percent) in the current fiscal year and by up to $15 million over the next two fiscal years.

The reductions come after the highway patrol lost about $28 million in funding in the previous two years.

Highway patrol officials said the number of vacancies will rise, with an average of about eight troopers retiring or resigning each month. Officials at the agency said they’re concerned it will take a long time to fill those openings without the academy in operation.

First Sgt. Pat Staggs, who handles highway patrol operations in Buncombe County, said the agency has not added troopers there in at least 10 years so

it’s difficult to provide the type of 24/7 service needed for a growing population. Highway patrol will reduce costs considerably while the academy is shut down. It costs the state approximately $100,000 to pay the salary, benefits, shelter, clothing and vehicle costs for one cadet through the 29-week academy, and cadets must then complete another 12 weeks of field training. The state recently graduated 38 state troopers from the N.C. Highway Patrol Basic School, but it’s unclear when the academy will resume operations and the next class will graduate.

Times. The newspaper reported home sales were down 3.7 percent nationally through the first half of 2011, while they were down 12 percent in the Asheville area over the same period.

However, median prices in the Asheville area were down only 0.5 percent during that period, compared to an average price decline of 4.7 percent nationally.

Since the start of the recession in 2008, the median price of homes sold in the Asheville area has declined 15.1 percent. Nationally, the price declined 16.2 percent over the same 3.5-year period. The newspaper reports the median price of a singlefamily home sold in 2008 in the Asheville area was $225,000. In the second quarter of this year, the median was $191,500.

After nearly 2,000 homes sold in the Asheville area in

2008, the number declined to 1,683 in 2009 and then rose to 1,706 last year. The area is on pace to finish below the 2009 low for home sales after recording 788 sales through the first six months of the year.

Sales of condos and townhouses have fared even worse in the Asheville area, declining by nearly 40 percent since 2008 compared to a national average drop of about 20 percent. The Citizen Times reports that residential real estate investment, though, is one of the fastestgrowing segments in the Asheville area as developers start projects to meet the demand of an increased number of renters.

of existing homes were down 12.1 percent in the first half of 2011 compared to the same period in 2010, based on N.C. Mountains Multiple Listing Service data reported in the Asheville Citizen Times.

Although the figures show a substantial price decline in the past year, the report notes that federal tax credits artificially inflated home sales in the first half of 2010. Real estate brokers said the area will get a better comparison over the second half of this year because the tax credits primarily impacted sales only in the first half of 2010.

Steve Dozier, a broker at Prudential Lifestyle Realty in Hendersonville, said Henderson County homes sold in three months or less so far this year were sold at about 94 percent

Dozier said some buyers continue to look for foreclosurelevel prices, although only about 4.6 percent of homes for sale in Henderson County are foreclosures.

*** S t r a y animals that end up at the Spartanburg Humane Society will be kept there a little longer before they are euthanized.

Spartanburg County Council approved a requirement that animals be held at for at least five days, which will bring the shelter into compliance with state law.

The Spartanburg Humane Society had a policy for years of holding stray animals for three days before euthanizing them.

Spartanburg County Council member Michael Brown said the longer waiting period is expected to raise costs at the shelter by up to 50 percent. The humane society said it already switched over to the longer holiday period, and it’s struggling to find enough room to hold cats for five days.

*** November Wade Mainer, a North Carolina native sometimes referred to as “the godfather of North Carolina country music,” died recently at his home in Michigan at the age of 104.

Mainer was a mountain-born banjo picker who became C h a r l o t t e ’s most-recorded country artist during the 1930s. Mainer performed during the Great Depression at the White House for Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, and he once performed in New York City with folk legend Woody Guthrie. He last performed publicly in Charlotte in 1985 at the Charlotte Country Music Story.

After hitchhiking from Buncombe County to Concord, Mainer took a job working in a cotton milllove in the mid 1920s.

Tryon recognizes Millard for work on depot restoration

by Leah Justice

Tryon Town Council recognized Andy Millard on Tuesday, Sept. 27 for his work in restoring the town’s 1906 train depot.

Millard paid to have the depot restored to house his business, Millard & Company, in exchange for a 20-year, $1-per-year lease of the building.

The town granted the lease in May 2010 and Millard occupied the restored building on Jan. 1, 2011. Millard was expected to spend an estimated $250,000 on the restoration.

Millard said the project would not have been accomplished if it weren’t for the Tryon Town Council.

“Thank you so much,” Millard said. “It’s a great honor and I appreciate it.”

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples presented Millard with a proclamation recognizing him for the

depot project.

Peoples said, “Andy Millard, whose proactive civic generosity, by means of personal vision and use of personal funds, has considerably enhanced a significant, historic downtown property and architectural focal point and created a vibrant business and gathering place in Tryon’s Central Business District.”

Millard was complimented for his work in coordinating with the Tryon Downtown Development Association’s Streetscape master plan and for his hiring of local contractors to enhance the local economy.

Brady/Trakas Architects was also recognized for its assistance in the project.

“Millard’s renovation of the 1906 Tryon Depot serves as a shining magnanimous example to inspire others to similar civic acts and contributions to benefit our entire community,” read the

Columbus couple back home safely after cruise ship fire

by Samantha Hurst

Joy Johnson and her husband, Norman, stood on the deck of the Norwegian cruise ship Nordlys Thursday, Sept. 15 taking in scenery of the area.

As the two snapped a few photos, smoke and flames suddenly interrupted their view.

An explosion in the engine room of the ship had sparked a fire not 24 hours after the couple had boarded.

“It was quite an adventure,” Joy said of throwing on life jackets and working to get everyone into limited numbers of available lifeboats.

“Still, I don’t think any of us were overly concerned,” Joy said. “We did have to don the lifejackets, which were very peculiar because they were made for frigid water, but everyone remained calm.”

More than 250 passengers, including the Johnsons, were evacuated from the burning ship.

Joy said Norman and several others worked together to get a handful of disabled passengers safely into the lifeboats.

The real tragedy, Joy later discovered, was that two crewmembers had died in the accident; one of them an 18-year-old apprentice on his first voyage.

“It was really a very sad thing and we consider ourselves very lucky,” she said. “It has curbed my appetite for cruising now, though.” page

20

Joy said the staff of the ship handled the event very well – getting passengers quickly to shore and into hotels.

“They were just amazing,” Joy said. “They had buses waiting and navy doctors on hand to ensure everyone had prescriptions they needed and such.”

Joy said to further the good fortune of the passengers, the ship was not far from the shore of Alesund, where a disaster drill was taking place that very day. Joy said the workers knew exactly what to do.

She said she would no longer be flippant about safety drills.

“You know you take these things for granted. Now I realize how important it is to take advantage of the information they give you in the safety drills,” she said.

If anything, Joy said she and her husband did make a lot of new friends out of the comraderie of the situation.

The Johnsons returned home Tuesday, Sept. 20, and while they still have seen no sign of their possessions, they said they are thrilled to be safely back in Polk County.

AAUW hosts ‘Porcelain, Poetry and Prose’ Oct. 8 The Tryon branch of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) will host “Porcelain, Poetry and Prose” a fundraising tea for the Eileen White Scholarship Fund, on Saturday, Oct. 8 at 2 p.m. in the Tryon Depot.

The tea’s featured authors and editors are Cathy Smith Bowers, John Lane, Jeri Fitzgerald Board and Betsy Teter, who will discuss their latest literary projects.

Tryon resident Smith Bowers will discuss “The Abiding Image: Writing Into the Mystery.” Smith Bowers was born and raised, one of six children, in the small mill town of Lancaster, S.C. Her poems have appeared widely in a variety of publications.

Smith Bowers was named N.C.’s poet laureate in February 2010, traveling the state as the literary ambassador. Her works include “Traveling in Time of Danger,” “A Book of Minutes,” “The Candle I Hold Up To See You” and “Like

Shining from Shook Foil.”

Smith Bowers currently teaches in the Queens low-residency MFA program and at Wofford College in Spartanburg, S.C. Poet, essayist and author Lane has been teaching students in English and creative writing since 1988. He’s now in the midst of a new challenge, the development of the environmental studies major at Wofford College.

Having served as interim director of the program, Lane is now director of Wofford’s Goodall Center for environmental studies, located at the Glendale Shoals of Lawson’s Fork Creek, in the historic Glendale community. Lane’s topic, “My Paddle to the Sea,” reflects his interest in nature and the environment.

Lane’s latest prose book is “My Paddle to the Sea.” Its publication is due out this November.

Board is a retired administrator with UNC, and a former professor

of African-American studies and american women writers at Duke University and St. Andrews College. Her historical novel, “The Bed She Was Born In” was nominated for a Pulitzer, was a finalist for the Southeastern Independent Bookseller’s award for fiction and won the prestigious president’s award of the N.C. Society of Historians.

Board will present “The Scene’s the Thing.” She’ll discuss the necessary elements of a well-written scene, the importance of characterdriven sequences in scenes and the thread that holds it all together.

In the 15 years since “Hub City Anthology” was released, founder and executive director Teter’s nonprofit Hub City Writer’s Project has published some 45 books.

Her dream of cultivating readers and nurturing writers through its independent small press, community bookshop and diverse literary programming has produced more

Polk’s rock-solid defense will seek to shut down the Mitchell running attack tonight at The Little Big House. (photo by Daniel Hecht)

Wolverines face major challenge tonight versus visiting Mitchell

by Daniel Hecht

Riding a wave of confidence following last week’s road win over Mountain Heritage in Burnsville, Polk County football returns home to the Little Big House tonight.

In what should prove to be the team’s toughest challenge of the season thus far, the Wolverines will line up against the Mountaineers of Mitchell High School, a team that advanced deep into the playoffs last year before losing to the eventual 1AA State Champion Albemarle Bulldogs.

According to Polk head coach Bruce Ollis, the Wolverines,

sporting an overall record of 5-1 and a perfect 2-0 in conference competition, are primed and ready for the visitors from Bakersville.

“We have not had to worry about getting our players motivated, as Mitchell was the only blemish on our regular season record last year,” said Ollis.

The Mountaineers run the Wing-T out of the shotgun, an attack very similar to the offense faced by the Wolverines last week during their visit to “The Pit” in Yancey County. The key difference this week is that the Polk County defense must find

a way to neutralize Mitchell QB Justin Hughes. As the leading rusher in the mountains, Hughes has already surpassed the 1000 yard mark in just the first six games of the season.

With a run to pass ratio of 10-1, Mitchell rarely puts the ball in the air.

“One of our goals defensively each week is to make the opposition do something they don’t feel comfortable doing,” said Ollis.

For their part, the Mountaineers are expected to roll into Columbus spoiling for a fight, as the team seeks redemption for last week’s heartbreaking triple

overtime loss to the Owen Warhorses at Swannanoa, a game in which Hughes led all rushers with 251 yards on 22 carries.

Any way you slice it, the Wolverines will have their work cut out for them this evening.

“Every starter [for Mitchell] on each side of the ball is a senior that was part of a playoff run last season that took them all the way to the Western final,” said Ollis. “They have great confidence and, without a doubt, a tremendous senior leader.”

The action kicks off tonight at 7:30 p.m. under the lights at PCHS.

Cardinals take region road to Whitmire

by Joey Millwood

The Landrum football team has had a dramatic season. The Cardinals took their show on the road and beat Traveler’s Rest in week one.

In week two, quarterback Brandon Cannon ran in a touchdown as the final buzzer sounded for their second win. In week three, the Cardinals beat border rival Polk County for the first time in eight years. In week four, they dominated Dixie on the road. And last week, the Cardinals lost an emotional game to future 2A rival Liberty and were in it until the last second.

This week, however, the road becomes a little more important.

The Cardinals are shifting their focus to the region and are looking for their first region championship since 2005. That road begins at Whitmire this Friday

night at 7:30.

“They are very ready (to compete in the region),” head coach Russell Mahaffey said. “After the tough loss to Liberty, I think we are more focused than ever.”

The Cardinals have used a wide open spread attack this season and ran it well. The Cardinals are off to their fastest start since 2004 when they started 4-0.

The Wolverines are winless this season, but run the Wing T, Spread and Pro I offenses so the Cardinals “have a lot to prepare for this week,” Mahaffey said.

Mahaffey’s message to his team this week has been simple and to the point.

“There is a great deal at stake every week – the playoff situation and the chance to play for another region title,” Mahaffey said. “We have to focus every week because our region is good.”

learning proper exercise form?

Well, first let’s go over what not to do.

• Don’t learn by copying someone else in the gym who looks like he or she is in good shape.

• Don’t get your sole exercise knowledge from television, because you can’t get answers to questions you might have.

• Don’t get all your information from books or magazines for the same reason. I recommend you contact an exercise professional. Sit down with them and express your goals.

• When they implement your program, ask questions, and take notes. Be sure to tell them if something doesn’t feel right during your exercise sessions.

Learn proper exercise form, and you might just become an expert exerciser.

ants in the air.

The standards proposed are about half of the original standard.

Unfortunately, almost no metropolitan area that was declared to be in non-attainment with the standards has ever remained in attainment for long even with severe controls and emission reduction targets.

We have just about reached the limit of current technology with regard to industrial and automotive emissions and we have no way of dealing with natural sources.

I’m sure I’ll get some disagreement on this, but we’ve fundamentally reached the limit of practicality with regard to the engineering and technology in reducing levels of “ground-level ozone.”

The result is that the sprint to meet even lower standards would require draconian measures such as eliminating almost all “coalfired” power plants in the United States. Despite the “dream” of a pollution-free (Green) energy industry, the next couple of generations will not see much of it because it is terribly costly and inefficient compared to our current energy sources.

There is one “broad picture” aspect to all of this that doesn’t seem to get much attention. The quality of our air is impacted by pollutants emitted by thriving industrial economies in Asia where industrial controls are lax or non-existent.

Coal is the favored energy source of those economies. If we eliminate well-controlled “coalfired” plants in the United States and drive more manufacturing to poor Asian countries, our air quality will not improve but will likely deteriorate for reasons completely out of our control.

This “canary in the coal mine” hasn’t gotten much attention.

Deteriorating air quality is one of those unexpected consequences of moving manufacturing out of this country into “cheap labor” countries.

The proposed tightening of the “ozone” rules would likely make our air quality worse, not better. We need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.
