Sand resigns as Tryon/Columbus plannerColumbus to hold off hiring plannerby Leah Justice

After about a year of working jointly for the towns of Columbus and Tryon as town planner, Mela-nie Sand has resigned.

Columbus Town Council announced Sand’s decision last week. Since last July, Sand has served in a dual capacity for both Tryon and Columbus as planner.

She worked for Tryon two days per week and for Columbus three days per week.

Columbus officials said Sand has received a scholarship to receive her master's degree in urban planning. They said they hate to see her go, but understand the opportunity and wish her well.

Columbus decided not to re-

place Sand for at least three months, taking the opportunity to save money in the town's budget next year. Council said the delay will also allow newly hired manager Jona-than Kanipe, who starts next month, to assess

the town’s need for a planner.

dayoff.blogspot.com). She is particularly passion-

ate about the oil spill cleanup because she hails originally from the Gulf, specifically Hattiesburg, Miss.

Lovelace quickly contacted A Matter of Trust, an ecological public charity concentrating on manmade surplus, natural sur-plus and eco-education. In other words, this nonprofit specializes in linking needs with natural solutions.

In the case of the oil spill, A Matter of Trust is leading the col-lection of hair booms. Hair booms, as described by media nationwide, are nylon bags filled with hair and fur. Because hair and fur naturally absorb oil, these booms are in-valuable in the oil spill cleanup. (Watch this series for more infor-mation on hair booms: how they are made, how they work, how they can be recycled.)

After contacting A Matter of Trust, Lovelace decided to join the volunteer effort on the front lines

of the clean-up. She raised some funds and found a travel partner, Quincy Jackson of Polk County, and together they headed to the Gulf on June 1. Local videog-rapher Chris Riddle later joined

the team. According to Lovelace’s blog,

the team’s “mission statement” was not spelled out for this trip, but she found a focus in the words of one Gulf fisherman named Tom

of these few parishes really cares. They say they do, but they don’t do nothing but talk. Where’s the action? Where’s the person who says these are real people, real people with families and they are hurting?”

Lovelace responded by say-ing, “We can’t just sit by and watch people like [Young] and his family hurt. We will help be his voice outside the parish, and strong arms inside the parish, too. Whatever we can do.”

Over the next several weeks, the Tryon Daily Bulletin will print a series of articles chronicling Lovelace’s journey to the Gulf. These articles will follow her experience and will highlight aspects of the oil spill and clean-up efforts including nonprofit organizations that need help, wisdom and warning from ex-perts with previous oil spills, and stories from citizens living on the coast.

Political preferences and opin-ions aside, one thing is certain: this disaster is affecting real peo-ple, U.S. citizens with families and friends and jobs. The crude oil that is covering the waters, the vegetation and the wildlife will not go away overnight, or even by the end of the summer, and these citizens need assistance.

Concerned citizens can write their Congressional representa-tives and state senators to raise awareness of the needs in the Gulf and to ask for assistance and support:

• Congressman Heath Shuler, 512 Cannon House Office Build-ing, Washington, D.C. 20515 or 356 Biltmore Ave. Suite 400, Asheville, N.C. 28801

Sand replaced former Columbus planner Daniel Hallstrom, who was the town’s first planner, after he had worked with Columbus for about a year. Both Tryon and Columbus previously contracted the service as needed through Benchmark CMR Services.

Sand moved from North Kokomo, Ind., to take the joint position. She was a 2009 gradu-ate of the Ball State University

college of architecture and plan-ning in Muncie, Ind., where she earned a bachelor’s degree in ur-ban planning and development.

In Tryon, she worked ex-tensively on enforcement of ordinances and especially on cleaning up dilapidated houses. In Columbus, Sand worked on the Foster Creek Development as well as several ordinances and enforcement, including sign regulations, among others.

She will continue her work for the towns until July 14.

Columbus to look into county-wide police optionTown will visit Gaston Cty. to study its county wide police systemby Leah Justice

While looking into future ways to shrink the small town’s budget, Columbus agreed recently to look into what it would take to consoli-date county police departments.

The consolidation idea came up recently at Columbus Town Council meetings when council members were discussing ways to cut the budget for next fiscal year,

which begins on Thursday. Councilmen Michael Gage and

Richard Hall said Gaston County, N.C., has county-wide law enforce-ment and it might be useful to look into their system. Gage and Hall agreed to travel to Gaston County sometime in the near future at their own expense to explore the idea to learn if the option is feasible for Polk County.

Gage said that funding Colum-bus’ police department takes 43 percent of the town's general fund and other small towns have similar

Polk calls for soil testing at adult day care siteTesting being expedited to speed renovation workby Leah Justice

Polk County has decided to spend between $2,000 and $3,000 to do soil testing at the site of a planned adult day care center after weeks of rain have caused delays in paving a road.

Commissioners met last week and agreed for Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson to order soil testing to ensure the soil is suitable for paving.

The center was initially ex-pected to open around mid-May, but recent rains have delayed the work. The weather has slowed work on outdoor improvements, such as paving a road and cul-de-sac and constructing a covered drop-off point for clients. Interior improvements such as renova-tions to restrooms and adding a sprinkler system were completed earlier this year.

Commissioners have not set an opening date, but they said last week they were hopeful that the testing will come back positive, so the paving of the road and

parking lot can begin as soon as possible.

Whitson said contractors indi-cated that if the moisture content of the soil was not correct, the paving would crack in the future and cause problems, so contrac-tors felt more comfortable getting soil tests prior to paving.

Commissioners said it nor-mally takes about two weeks to move the dirt. Gravel can then be laid and allowed to sit for a little while prior to paving.

Polk County purchased the former Carolina Classical School buildings off Skyuka Road near Columbus and last year moved the Meeting Place Senior Cen-ter there. After a push from the community to provide space for an adult day care center over the last several years, commissioners decided to renovate a building at the rear of the new senior center for the purpose. Rutherford Life Services, which runs a sister center in Rutherford County, will lease the building and run the adult day care center in Polk.

The center in Polk will be named after Don and Betsy Free-man, who were instrumental in getting a center in Polk County.

circumstances. “I really feel Columbus should

take the lead on county-wide law enforcement,” Gage said.

The topic of county-wide law enforcement has come up several times in recent years, but the towns and county have never agreed to move forward.

“I feel our police department is very important, but I’m always willing to look into it,” Hall said. “My main concern is that all the towns are covered. If two officers were in each town and we could consolidate, that could save a ton of money.”

The topic could be one of many discussions at joint meetings that Polk County and the towns of Columbus, Saluda and Tryon have recently begun holding. The towns and county held the first joint meet-ing earlier this month. Another is planned for Aug. 3, which will be to specifically discuss the possibility of combining water sources.

Polk experiences communication system problemsby Leah Justice

Polk County experienced prob-lems with its communications over the weekend and yesterday, with some departments not able to communicate over the radio.

Residents could still call 911, but the departments could not communicate with one another over Polk County chan-nels. The problem occurred last Friday between 10:30 p.m. and 1:30 a.m. and again yesterday around noon.

The county could not use its radio channels, but switched to Tryon’s channels as a back-up.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said during the down time Friday night all fire depart-ments were manned to allow communications by phone as well as the backup channel.

Whitley’s Communication Service, Inc., was scheduled to be in Polk around 1 p.m. yester-day to fix the problem.

Polk unemployment rate drops below 8 percent

Polk County’s unemploy-ment rate fell again in May, according to figures released by the N.C. Employment Se-curity Commission (ESC) last Friday.

The unemployment rate dropped from 8.4 percent in April to 7.8 percent in May, 2.1 percent below the state average, and the number of unemployed Polk County residents fell from 807 to 753.

Since the rate reached its high of 10.2 percent in Febru-ary, unemployment is down 2.4 percent and the number of em-ployed Polk County residents is up by 239. The Polk County unemployment rate fell one per-cent from March to April.

According to state figures, Polk County had 8,866 people employed in May. A total of $6.9 million in unemployment benefits was paid to claimants in Polk County in the past 12 months, according to the ESC.

Unemployment rates de-creased in 86 of North Caro-lina’s 100 counties in May. North Carolina had 47 counties that were at or below the state’s unadjusted unemployment rate of 9.9 percent.

The number of workers em-ployed across the state in-creased by 6,498, to 4,096,669, and the number of unemployed fell to 450,647 from 459,726 in April.

Rutherford County remained among the counties with the highest unemployment rate, at 14.8 percent, although unem-ployment in Rutherford County fell by .4 percent from April to May. A total of 4,129 persons

in Rutherford were unemployed as of May, out of a labor force of 27,928.

Henderson County unem-ployment fell .5 percent, to 8 percent in May. There are 3,919 people unemployed in Hender-son County, according to state figures.

“A majority of North Caro-lina’s counties experienced a decline in their unemmployment rates,” said ESC chairman Lynn R. Holmes. “Some counties benefited from seasonal hiring, which is typical this time of year. We continued to experi-ence industry growth within our metropolitan statistical areas. In May, 11 of the state’s 14 metros had an increase in job growth.”

South Carolina’s unemploy-ment rate declined for the fourth straight month to 11 percent in May, according to the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce.

The rate in Spartanburg County fell by .2 percent, from 11 percent to 10.8 percent. In Greenville County, unemploy-ment dropped .4 percent, from 9.3 percent to 8.9 percent.

Swing out sisters

Landrum sisters Alyssa (left) and Sydney Davis celebrate after winning respective ASA state championships recently in under-10 and under-12 age divisions on the same day. Alyssa played for the 10u East Coast Extremes and Sydney for the 12u Palmetto Thunder. (photos provided)

Landrum’s Davis sibs bring home state fastpitch titlesBy John Clayton

the Davis sisters recently had their very own champion-ship weekend.

sydney Davis, playing in the 12-under division, and younger sister alyssa, playing in the 10-under division, each won asa south Carolina state championships within a few hours of one another.

Alyssa played center field for the east Coast extremes 10-under fastpitch team en route to a state title early in the day in rock Hill. Later in the day, sydney pitched a no-hitter

to lead the palmetto thunder 12-under team to a state cham-pionship in sumter.

“I was excited because we both won,” alyssa said. “that doesn’t happen much, I don’t guess.”

sydney’s no-hitter was icing on the cake.

“I hit all my spots that (the coach) called, and I was throw-ing hard,” sydney said. “We have a really good defense and that helped me out a lot.”

While mother Lisa was with alyssa, father Joe was on the road with sydney for the no-hitter.

Local runners who usually compete in the Coon Dog 5K during saluda’s annual Coon Dog Day festival will have to lace up their running shoes a week earlier this year.

the saluda running Club, which has traditionally organized the Coon Dog 5K, is hosting the inaugural Firecracker 5k run this weekend in Columbus as part of the town’s Fabulous 4th Celebration.

organizers hope to attract some of the area’s top short-distance runners, despite races in greenville and easley, and expect most particpants to register sat-urday morning.

“Doing the Coon Dog 5k, we usually had about 150 pre-registrations and 300 on race day, so that’s what we’re hoping for,” said organizer ross Fox.

Cash awards will go to the top three overall male and female winners. Merchandise awards will be given to the first-place overall Masters division winners. trophies will be awarded to the top finishers in other divisions.

after the race, runners, specta-tors and families can enjoy family games, food and craft vendors as well as a tai Chi class. a full day of activities will include music in the afternoon and a fireworks display at 9:45 p.m.

For more information and entry forms, visit www.firecrack-er5k.org or call (828) 859-9979.

all proceeds from the run will go to the shepherds’ Feast, a Christmas dinner served on Christmas day for local citizens.(ContinueD on page 13)

“that’s probably the best she’s pitched in a long time,” Joe said.

Both girls are playing a strenuous summer season of traveling club and local recre-ation league softball, but that is nothing new – and neither are the state championships.

sydney’s team won three 10-under championships and alyssa won one with her team in 2009.

“all the other tournaments we play are really warm-ups for the state tournaments,” Joe said. “the whole month of June is for

state tournaments in the asa and Isa’s different divisions.

“Lisa and I have to split up to get everybody where they need to be. this week, she’s in Marion and I’m in Lexington. We’d like to be there for all of it, but that’s the way we have to do it.”

alyssa plays mostly in the

outfield, while sydney, a ris-ing seventh grader, is mainly a pitcher who also plays a little first base and outfield. Sydney said she plans to play JV softball for Landrum and hopes to play for the varsity.

sydney and alyssa are the granddaughters of Doug Bruce of Landrum and Dot and Bill Davis of Williamston, s.C.

Once upon a time, not

so long ago, a local couple

happened upon a skinny

little Appaloosa mare in a

dirt lot. Her owner no longer

wanted to trail ride her; she

wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew

a few things about horses

and decided to take her

home with them and find

the little mare a new family.

Some extra food, good grass

and a few trail rides later this

couple put an ad up in the

local feed store.

At this very same time, a

sweet “horse crazy” young

girl had convinced her

parents to let her take some

riding lessons. She caught

the bug and now dreamed of

having her own horse. After

some poking and prodding

her parents answered an ad

they found at the local feed

store: an Appaloosa mare –

for sale! The little girl, whose name

is Amanda, met the little

mare, who’s name is Nia,

and as most dreams happen

(when they come true) it was

destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take

lessons from a local profes-

sional. After about six weeks

of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding

Club Horse Trial at FENCE

where they won their dres-

sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country

course and stadium jump-

ing. They ended up high

point!Amanda Morfino on her new horse Nia, with Renée and Nick Morfino. (photo submitted)

wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew

a few things about horses

and decided to take her

home with them and find

the little mare a new family.

Some extra food, good grass

and a few trail rides later this

couple put an ad up in the

local feed store.

At this very same time, a

sweet “horse crazy” young

girl had convinced her

parents to let her take some

riding lessons. She caught

the bug and now dreamed of

having her own horse. After

some poking and prodding

her parents answered an ad

they found at the local feed

store: an Appaloosa mare –

for sale! The little girl, whose name

is Amanda, met the little

mare, who’s name is Nia,

and as most dreams happen

(when they come true) it was

destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take

lessons from a local profes-

sional. After about six weeks

of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding

Club Horse Trial at FENCE

where they won their dres-

sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country

course and stadium jump-

ing. They ended up high

point!Amanda Morfino on her new horse Nia, with Renée and Nick Morfino. (photo submitted)

D’oyen a future pharaoh?Tij D’oyen of Tryon is en-

thusiastically rehearsing his part as he transforms himself from a 15-year-old schoolboy into Radames, a captain in the Egyptian army in the upcoming youth production of “Aida.” He’s been interested in theater since the 4th grade, “but not till 5th grade when I played Horton the Elephant did I really get a desire for the stage,” he says.

He’s played Rooster in “An-nie,” Harold Hill in “The Music Man,” Christopher Wren in “Mousetrap,” and was recently seen on TLT’s stage as Friedrich in “The Sound of Music,” one of the Von Trapp children.

In this production his character is betrothed to Amneris, daughter of the ailing Pharaoh, and he is expected to succeed the Egyptian throne after the Pharaoh’s death (with Radames’ father gleefully rubbing his hands in the wings). But Radames finds himself intrigued by a Nubian slave, Aida, instead.

Adam Pascal originated the role on Broadway and Luciano Pavarotti is just one of the famous singers to perform the role in Verdi’s original operatic version upon which this modern adapta-tion is based.

“The best thing about a play or musical is the actual perfor-mance,” D’oyen says. “I mean, it’s fun to learn the songs and practice with friends, but you never know how the performanc-

es will go - it’s always a mystery. The worst part would have to be the stress. It takes a lot to put a musical together. Not only are there actors and actresses, but there are directors on the side lines pushing you to your fullest, needing you to be perfect. But in the end it’s worth it.”

Elton John and Tim Rice’s “Aida” opens July 7 at the Tryon Fine Arts Center with a gala bash including gourmet food, wines and desserts.

On July 8 through 10, perfor-mances start at 8 p.m., and July 11, at 3 p.m. Tickets are on sale at the TLT Workshop from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday to Saturday. For more information call 828-859-2466 or visit the website at www.tltinfo.org.
