Polk County’s Unified Development Committee Tuesday, Jan. 17 voted to move forward with work to amend the Mountainside and Ridgeline Protection Ordinance (MRPO) with regard

to its effect on the City of Saluda and Saluda Township.

Committee members voted to work on making amendments after almost 45 minutes of discussion with audience members in which several town officials,

residents and business owners of Saluda said they felt the current ordinance stifles their ability to do business or plan for economic growth.

ments to both the citizens and council, saying he finds it annoying to be disapproved of by people who only know half the story.

Woody and Arbogast made their comments regarding an emergency meeting attended by Mayor Alan Peoples and councilmen George Baker and Roy Miller on Jan. 3 where Hembree was fired.

There was no vote in open session to fire Hembree, so another special meeting was held on Thursday, Jan. 12, at which Arbogast, Baker, Miller and Peoples voted unanimously to terminate Hembree.

Woody’s and Arbogast’s comments are given in full below.

Doug Arbogast’s comments I find it annoying to be disapproved of by people who know only half the story - especially when you’re not sure which half they know.

I direct this to the citizens as well as the council regarding recent events, specifically the termination of the town manager. There are at least two sides to every story, sometimes more. If jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport, Tryon would have a lock on a gold medal. I am not criticizing anyone’s opinions or their right to have them, I am saying some of your reactions have been uncalled for.

With respect to transparency: This council has a lot of characters... with character.

Character has been defined by “doing the right thing when nobody’s looking.” I think you have elected the right people to task this. There are too many people who think that the only thing that’s right is to get by, and the only thing that’s wrong is getting caught. This council does not think like that.

(continued from page 1)

tryondailybulletin.com

Zach Waldbillig said he felt it was ignorant to assume sustainable development could not be carried out at 1,650 feet - the elevation limit under the MRPO, which includes mostly the western portion of the county.

“I think there is a sustainable way to develop – we don’t have a development problem, we have an erosion control problem,” Waldbillig said. “There are ways to do this – it’s just not jumping to conclusions and jumping to shut down development. If you don’t develop you die, if you don’t grow you die.”

Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden said he took offense to the fact that an email sent out by a UDO committee member claimed Baisden’s opposition to the ordinance was political in nature and that Saluda officials had not presented any solutions.

“This is not political … this is about Saluda being singled out because it is above 1,600 feet,” Baisden said. “It [the email] says we did not provide an option, but we provided option one… What we asked was that Howard Gap be left as the old stated use [multi-use zoning]. It would never be developed into anything until someone who owns that property wanted to sell it and there would have to be a public hearing.”

UDO committee member Jim Carson implored residents to remember that the committee had not created a final resolution to present to commissioners.

“A lot of the comments that I heard were almost given as if we were about to vote either to leave the MRPO as it is, which would prevent any commercial development in Saluda above 1,650 feet, or not,” Carson said to the audience. “But that’s not the vote we are about to take – we are about to take a vote to amend it so that you can build in Saluda above 1,650 feet. We’re about the process of doing that [changing the ordinance to amend the issue].”

UDO Chair Mark Byington said, in fact, committee members

had three options.

The first option would provide for an overlay of Saluda and Saluda Township that would exempt underlying areas of zoning from the use restrictions of the MRPO only. The overlay would define a specific area and that would be it.

Uses under MRPO would be restricted to residential, agricultural, etc. Byington said this would be the most restrictive of the options.

Option two would exempt currently zoned areas from the MRPO such as highway commercial and residential (five parcels near Ozone Dr.) and would open the door for possibly looking at other exemptions for bed and breakfasts, nature preserves, recreational facilities and produce stands.

Committee member Renee McDermott submitted the third option.

McDermott said her proposal offers a set of exemptions from the use limitations of the MRPO, but requires that anyone wanting to develop their land must go through the public hearing process to rezone that land as highway commercial, neighborhood commercial or residential. Option three would also provide for home occupation allowances, in addition to what option two allows.

“If we go with this option, then wherever it [home occupation] was designated, you could do that but it would need to go to the planning board and have a zoning change and allow the public the right to talk about it,” McDermott said. “The thing about this is it’s flexible. It allows it in different places and not just in one area of the corridor.”

Committee member Ray Gasperson quickly brought up the question of whether such exemptions could lead the county into troublesome spot zoning claims.

Planning consultant Dale Holland said spot zoning is a very complicated issue.

He said it would amount to determining whether the “property zone was consistent with the wishes of the county. A court (Continued on page 5)

• UDO

(continued from page 4)

would not say it was spot zoning if it is consistent with long range planning.”

He said, for example, a parcel of land zoned commercial in the middle of 1,000 acres of residential might not be consisted congruent with the county’s stated objectives or long-range plan. He said if this were the case and someone wanted to develop a parcel of land in Saluda that went along with the countywide vision, they could potentially do so.

Konnie Hall and her husband, Kirk, have owned and operated Orchard Lake Campground in Saluda for 16 years. They said they believe the growth of their business would be in line with the county’s efforts and desires to

grow tourism-based businesses.

They have objected to the initial plans for the MRPO, however, because they said they felt the restrictions would choke any future growth of their business.

“We love this area; the mountains are beautiful. I just want to say in these tough economic times Orchard Lake Campground has been a bright spot in Polk County because it has grown,” Hall said.

“So it would be sad to keep us from being able to grow and prevent us from serving those who want to come to Polk County and spend their money.”

Not all Saluda residents are for growth, though.

Susan Welsh said she moved to Saluda six years ago after being drawn to the area by its beauty.

“Shortly after I moved here I was very pleased to see two surveys

that said the citizens were very interested in keeping the rural beauty and limiting development,” Welsh said. “I believe it is important to give Saluda some options, but still protect the residents of Saluda.”

Steve Herring, who lives with his wife off Ozone Rd., said his property is not far from where officials hope to one day see a small manufacturing plant move.

“How are you going to put a plant out on a two-lane road that already has too much traffic? Before you know it, it will become a four lane,” Herring asked. “These things tend to get approved. Once you open the door there probably will be a Michelin plant out there.

I hope I die before that happens.”

Byington noted that many of the rezonings that might be sought would be considered conditional uses, which would put the burden

page

on the person wanting to have that use to prove that their proposal would be consistent with the county’s long-range plan.

Carson, also a Saluda resident, said he preferred the zoningrelated options.

“The reason I like the zoning process better than the overlay is that normally you do get some say-so when areas are changed from one permitted use to another permitted use,” he said. “It doesn’t mean you are going to stop what they are going to do… but at least it gives you a forum in which to go in to put your issues out and it’s not shoved down your throat.”

Committee member Emily Clark made a motion that the UDO move forward with an option that would be zoning based with some additional permitted uses; commissioners approved the motion.

‘Lesson Learned in Boot Camp’ at Unitarian service Jan. 22 The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will hold its service on Jan. 22 at 10:30 a.m. at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. The speaker will be Lackey Rowe. His topic will be, “An Important Life Lesson Learned While in Marine Corps Boot Camp at Parris Island.”

“The setting is Parris Island, June 1, 1956, the date I arrived at boot camp at the tender age of 16 years,” said Lackey. “The recruits in my platoon were comprised of Marine Corps Reserves, about 50 percent from Rome, Ga. and the other 50 percent from New Jersey; a reenactment of the Civil War was created between the Rebs and the Yanks.

“The focus is on of one of the boys from up north – Delmond. Delmond was a loud mouth from the Bronx. He was a bragger, he was uncoordinated, he was slow and he couldn’t keep up with the physical pace the Marine Corps demanded.

Because of these factors, he slowed the progress of the entire platoon.

“Toward the end of boot

redeemed - 19

camp everybody hated Delmond, especially the Rebs, and so when we finally had our first liberty in Beaufort, S.C. we all decided to have a tattoo of the company’s mascot, ‘Flower,’ the Walt Disney skunk, tattooed on our left shoulder with U.S.M.C. under it and our serial number for identification.

“Then we (the Rebs) decided that when Desmond’s time came to face to face the needle, instead of ‘Flower’ we would forcibly, if necessary, hold Delmond down and demand the tattoo artist tattoo the Confederate Flag on his right shoulder blade.”

Lackey graduated from the University of Mississippi and immediately joined the Peace Corps, where he served two years as a teacher in the Philippines. He was with one of the first groups in the Peace Corps and went directly from the Peace Corps into the University of Mississippi in 1963.

Upon graduation from law school he went to work as a civil rights lawyer in Jackson, Miss.

Foothills Music Club recital draws full house A full house in the recital hall at ICC enjoyed a varied public concert presented by the Foothills Music Club (FMC) on Thursday, Jan. 12 at ICC Polk Campus.

The audience first heard Mark Schweizer’s arrangement of “Simple Gifts,” sung by a women’s chorus organized and directed by Rita Stobbe. The group was accompanied on the piano by Ellie Roemer. Members of the chorus were sopranos Jeri Board, Elaine Jenkins, Mary Meyers and Rita Stobbe; second sopranos Carole Bartol and Jeanette Shackelford and altos Karen Molnar, Nancy Walburn and Ellen Harvey Zipf.

Next, Carole Bartol and Ann Morgan played Faure’s “Berceuse” from Dolly Suite, piano four hands.

Troy Brooks, FMC’s recent scholarship winner and now a college student majoring in music, entertained on his alto saxophone with Eugene Bozza’s “Improvisation et Caprice.”

Jeri Board spoke on the history of Cole Porter’s life before she sang two of the composer’s greatest numbers, “What Is This Thing Called Love?” and, later in the program, “In the Still of the Night.” She was accompanied by Warren Board on the piano and Carole Bartol and Pam McNeil on percussion.

Next, Pam McNeil, Karen Molnar, Carole Bartol and Jeanette Shackelford counted with their entire bodies as they performed “Geographical Fugue” by Ernst Toch.

Amy Brucksch and her classical guitar followed with the three movements of Marc Belanger’s “Jardin Secret.” Brucksch then joined with Kathleen Foster on the cello for Raffaele Bellafronte’s “Suite No. 1,” the third (“Romantico”) and fourth (“Tango”) movements.

Variety? Here’s more. Karen Molnar on bassoon and Carole Bartol on piano played Leonard Bernstein’s “Cool” from “West Side Story,” “Four Sketches” by Gordon Jacobs, which included “A Peaceful Piece,” “A Little Waltz,” “L’Apres-Midi D’Un Dinosaur” and “Polka.”

Finally, cellist Kathleen Foster and pianist Mimi Child Traxler played “The Swan,” from “Carnival of the Animals” by Camille Saint-Saens, and “Bourree, Op. 24” by W.H. Squire. Some of the audience learned for the first time of the term “pontecello,” which is placing the bow close to the bridge of the cello, producing a somewhat eerie sound.

There was a standing ovation for all performers after the almost 90-minute program.

FMC’s second public recital of the year will be presented at the Tryon Congregational Church on Melrose Avenue Thursday, March 8 at 3 p.m. Organists and other musicians will be featured. Again, there will be no admission fee but donations to FMC’s scholarship fund for young musicians will be welcomed.

For the record, I do not like politics. I have never been fond of civil politics, and church politics simply go with the jobs of dean and rector, but I find all politics tiring and trying.

So it will come as no surprise to anyone that the recent pre-election pugilistics have battered my sensitivities and I do not look forward to the upcoming battles between powerand control-oriented political opponents – especially when they spend so much time declaring or implying what good Christians, or Christian supporters, they happened to be.

As a priest I take the message of Jesus’ Gospel very seriously and am not merely offended but outraged when politicians try to manipulate

public opinion by adopting attitudes and positions which they hope will make them more attractive to the largest constituency possible, but which are poorly reflected in their own lives.

If that sounds cynical it may very well be, but when I have to measure the actions and values foisted at me in the political arena I choose to weigh them against “what would Jesus do,” or rather “what did Jesus say?”

The fact of the matter is, whether one is a Biblical literalist or a liberal interpreter of Holy Scripture, the final measure of Christian ethics and moral theology can only (Continued on page 9)

be taken in the light of Jesus’ own words and actions. Yes, the theology of Paul’s letters and the other epistles, as well as the interpretations of the Gospel writers, tell us a lot about what the early church leaders believed Jesus’ life, death and resurrection meant, but the plain and straightforward sayings of Jesus provide an unmistakable platform on which to interpret and sift the words of so-called Christian politicians.

In short, Jesus taught that we are to return good with good and evil with good (Matthew 5:39; Luke 6:29); that we are to give openly and freely to one another expecting nothing in return (Matthew 5:40; Luke 6:29); that the poor are not to be despised (Luke 6:20; Matthew 5:3); that we are to love and do good for our enemies and those who might

wish us harm (Luke 6:27; Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:32,35; John 13:34-35); that the true measure of faithfulness lies in how we treat those least like ourselves (the parable of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:3035); and that we can know the ethics and morals of a person by the fruit they bear (Matthew 7:16). In these and many other passages, both those quoting Jesus and those interpreting his words, the expectations of Jesus are made clear.

So what would Jesus do?

Or perhaps better yet in this election year, which politician most clearly and unapologetically supports the message of Jesus who has said we are to love and care for one another even if it means making tremendous personal sacrifices to care for the poor, the fragile and the disenfranchised; who has said that we do not assault one another and take advantage of one another for

Cardinals take control of region; win 77-69 over Christ Church

by Joey Millwood

As the buzzer sounded to end the third quarter, the Landrum players walked towards their sideline and a head coach who was fired up.

Lyn Smith stepped in the middle of his team - a team that had just allowed Christ Church to come back from eight points down to tie the game at 59-59 – and he gave them a passionate plea.

“I told them that you have to come out and play with heart and determination,” Smith said.

“You have eight minutes left on your home court to take control of the region.”

The Cardinals responded.

They came out in the fourth quarter, stepped up their defensive intensity and closed out a 77-69 win over the Cavaliers to take the lead in Region II-A. The battle of the unbeatens was what Cavaliers coach R. J. Beach expected.

“They’re a very good team,” Beach said. “They’re ranked second in the state for a reason.

We knew we were going to be in a battle.”

The Cavaliers did battle.

Landrum controlled the entire first half, but the Cavaliers came out of the locker rooms with energy. Led by Brooks Taylor, the Cavaliers fought hard in the third quarter. Taylor scored 19 points in the second half and finished with 25 points.

Cardinals Daniel Bridges and Truston Whiteside answered in the first minute of the fourth quarter. Bridges started the quar-

ter off with a 3-pointer and Whiteside followed with a drive to the basket for 2 points. Bridges finished with 14 points. Whiteside finished with 10 points. Cole McDowell scored 15 points.

Mark Wilson led the Cardinals with 17 points.

The Cardinals got a big spark from the bench in the fourth

quarter. Aaron Bryant dished the ball to his brother Alex for a 2-point play on the next possession. Bryant also hit a free throw and came up with a huge steal with 57 seconds left on the clock.

“I come off the bench to give my team energy,” the sophomore guard said.

“He was a big difference

tonight,” Smith said of Bryant.

In the end, the Cardinals just had too much speed, but Smith got the battle he expected. The Cardinals (14-3, 7-0) are now in the driver’s seat for the region championship as the last unbeaten team.

“It was good win,” Smith said.

Vining coaches 1,000th game Seth Vining, son of Bos and the late Seth Vining Jr. of Tryon and head basketball coach at Lakeview Academy in Gainesville, Ga., coached his 1,000th career varsity basketball game on Jan. 6. The Lakeview Lions boys trampled Region 8-A opponent Tallulah Falls, winning 75-12.

Vining, who has never missed a game for a team he coached, is one of the most successful basketball coaches in Georgia with 713 career wins and four state championship teams.

He and his wife, Cathy, have been coaching in Hall County, Ga., for more than 30 years. His wife was his first assistant coach, back in 1976 at East Hall High School, where Vining coached the Lady Vikings.

Lady Cardinals win close game over Christ Church, 43-40

by Joey Millwood

Landrum overcame a big fourth quarter run by Christ Church to win 43-40 on Tuesday, Jan 17.

After the third quarter wound down, it looked as though the Landrum girls were going to run away with a victory on the hardwood against Christ Church.

Landrum had just outscored the Lady Cavaliers 13-0 in the third to take a commanding 30-16 lead.

Lauren Pitts started the run with a 2-point basket. Taylor Jenkins followed her with a basket. Macy Atkins hit a 3-pointer. Sydnie Brown hit back to back buckets to give the Lady Cardinals a 28-16 lead. Megan Painter topped off the quarter with a two-point basket in the paint.

The Lady Cardinals even came out strong to start the fourth quarter with two 3-pointers by Rachel Cooper. Down 39-24, the Lady Cavaliers made a run. Led by Mary Kate Carter and Caroline Vaughn, Christ Church went on a 14-0 run to climb to within one point at 39-

38. Carter and Vaughn finished with 15 and 11 points respectively.

Jenkins had the answer for the Lady Cardinals. The sophomore had a big lay up and hit two free throws to close the door on a 43-40

victory for Landrum.

“We got a little lazy in the fourth quarter,” Landrum coach Deon Brice said. “I called a time out.

We came out fired up defensively.

After that we took care of the ball.”

The Lady Cardinals were led by their point guard Atkins. Atkins scored nine points and a trio of Lady Cardinals – Cooper, Jenkins and Jordan Farmer – added 7 points each.

The View From Sandy Plains Opal Sauve

Happy Birthday to Emogene Taylor, Grace Durham, Meg Duncan, Jim Hinsdale, Dianne Blanton, Danny and Mickey Edwards, Donna Williamson, Janice Fagan, Joey Maddox, Scott Sain, Joyce Walker, Corine Scoggins, Johnny Shytle, and twins, Dot York and Dora Arledge.

Congratulations to those area couples who are celebrating wedding anniversaries this month, including Marlene and William Henry Page, and Donna and David Pittman.

Congratulations too, to a very special lady, Addie Lee Lynch, who is still active in her church, and who recently celebrated her 93rd birthday. At a drop-in party in her honor, many friends, neighbors, and relatives came to wish her well.

Apparently, politics and politicians have not changed much during the last 100 years. Many of you know that Henry Morgan was the owner of Collinsville, and that he and his family are an important part of Polk County’s history.

Recently, when I came across an old newspaper article with information about a hot topic for politicians running for office in Polk County in 1906, (prohibition) I was surprised to read that Henry Morgan was running for “Representative.” His bio in the 1906 newspaper article stated that Morgan was “a farmer and distiller by profession...representing his county in the Legislature two terms in the 1880s and is, at present a member of the board of (Polk) county commissioners. It has been reported that Mr. Morgan said that if elected (he) would kill Polk Co. prohibition law, but denied this when approached on the subject by a representative of The (Polk County) News.”

That same newspaper article lists Sheriff W.C. Robertson as a candidate for reelection, Grayson Arledge as candidate for Register of Deeds and Samuel B. Edwards as a candidate for Clerk of Court.

His bio reads as follows: “Samuel B. Edwards, present County Treasurer, was elected 2 years ago and is now the... nominee for Clerk of Court. Mr. Edwards is a farmer by profession but has always been active in politics. He served a term as surveyor some years ago and has made a good record as treasurer... he lives near Sandy Plains.” It is interesting to me that relatives of most of the candidates mentioned in this 1906 article are citizens of Polk County today.

If you have news of this area, please call me at 828-863-2437
