Columbus denies Giardini annexationby Samantha Hurst

Columbus Town Council denied a voluntary annexation request from Giardini Trattoria Tuesday, Aug. 2 when none of the council members would offer to make a motion for a vote.

Councilman Michael Gage said he had to make a decision based on what he believes to be

in the best interest of the town. “I just didn’t see where finan-

cially it would be a good move for the town and the second thing would be what do the citizens want,” Gage said. “For me to go against the citizens’ wishes I would have to have a good reason to back that decision up – there would have had to been a signifi-

cant benefit there. “We all know it’s a good res-

taurant, there’s no denying that. But if it’s not there, it’s not there and I have to do what the people tell me to do.”

Gage said one local citizen did write a letter in support of


Art lovers brave heat for Art Trek

Art enthusiasts visit with one another while enjoying works by area artists at the Upstairs Artspace during Art Trek Tryon, held July 29-30.

the annexation but he said many other comments from citizens indicated they were concerned by the prospect of officials further expanding town limits.

This is the second time in as many years that town of-f icials have turned down a request for voluntary an-nexation made by Giardini owner s Joe Laudisio and Mary Ly th . Neither Lau-disio nor Lyth would comment after the meet-ing.

Town manager Jonathan Kanipe during the meeting hit on highlights from a memo he provided to council.

Kanipe said if the Giardini property were annexed, the town would see increased rev-enue in the amount of $547.53 from property taxes, as well as a $50 license fee. He said sales tax from beer and wine sales, meanwhile, would not likely change because such taxes are collected at the state level and dispersed statewide to towns allowing alcohol sales based on each town’s overall population.

“TI just didn’t see where financially where it would be a good move for the town and the second thing would be what the citizens want.… I have to do what the citizens tell me to do.”

-- Columbus council member Michael Gage

• Annexation(Continued from page 1)


Kanipe said he saw very little expense for the town related to a potential annexation. He said an increased police presence from time to time would be the only change he would see necessary.

Related to police presence, Chief Chris Beddingfield said

h e s t u d i e d sight distance measurements on the high-way in front of the restaurant to determine safety.

B e d d i n g -field said he saw no prob-lems with the intersection or line of sight. He also men-

tioned that with the satellite an-nexation and a potential alcohol license the restaurant would be subject to more scrutiny.

He said currently a person could technically brown bag a case of beer but said it was up to the establishment to keep an eye on any patron who might have had too much.

“It would be much more heavily monitored and regu-lated; that would be the dif-ference from what it is now,” Beddingfield said.

Laudisio and Lyth submit-ted this most recent applica-tion for voluntary annexation in May.

Polk County saves $17,000 on furniture bid for DSS buildingby Samantha Hurst

The final approved bid for furniture to fill the new Polk County Department of Social Services (DSS) building came in $17,000 under the $100,000 budgeted.

Christal Bostian, an associ-ate with ADW Architectural Firm, recommended the Polk County Board of Commission-

ers approve a bid of just over $83,000 from MacThrift Office Furniture.

“We evaluated the pack-ages very closely and elimi-nated where we thought we could do better,” Bostian said. “That’s where the real savings came in.”

Bostian said there were a few items where the lowest bid did not serve as the best choice. She said MacThrift did come in higher on desk options but the difference in price came from an increase in privacy and functionality.

She said DSS supervisors had asked that the desk com-ponents be neither right-handed nor left-handed so they could be moved or rearranged easily. They also asked for integral wire management components and privacy end panels because of the sensitive nature of the work most employees would be doing on a day-to-day basis.

County Manager Ryan Whit-son said an additional $4,120 in furniture – folding tables and chairs – must still be purchased through Sam’s Club.

This would bring the total cost of furniture for the DSS building up to $87,000. But Whitson said the county would recoup $5,000 in sales taxes.

Commissioner Tom Pack was not in favor of the amount of the purchase.

He said he could not vote to spend $87,000 for furniture when the county had not given

its employees raises and had “dinged them on benefits.”

McDermott said Pack was not even comparing apples and oranges with his state-ment.

“We have a DSS building that was in horrendous disrepair for years and years and years,” McDermott said. “And we have finally come together to build a practical and useful building for it. If you go over to the current office you’ll see, too, that the furniture there is useless…. To say that we shouldn’t buy de-cent furniture for the new DSS building until employees get raises is unreasonable.”

Pack said McDermott had put words in his mouth.

“I did not say I wouldn’t vote for new furniture, just not $87,000 of furniture,” Pack said.

McDermott motioned to ac-cept the recommendation with commissioner Cindy Walker seconding. The vote ended three to two with Pack and com-missioner Ted Owens voting against the furniture purchase.

Purchasing the furniture was the last big decision that needed to be made in preparation for what Whitson said should be an October move in date for the new DSS location.

This would be a great oppor-tunity for families, church groups or neighbors to gather together to contribute to a worthy cause, TBOM organizers said. TBOM is looking for individuals and groups to help gather harvested potatoes from the field behind the Hospice Store in Landrum. These potatoes

will be donated to TBOM’s food pantry and distributed to those in need.

During the past year, TBOM said it has seen a dramatic increase in need for services.

The state of our na-tion, this great United States of America, is in some disarray.

When nearly 70 per-cent of the cit izenry b e l i e v e t h e U n i t e d States is on the wrong path, that the ship on which we ride is being jostled about by stormy seas and may be about to capsize, might it be time for Christian peo-ple throughout the land to pray to the Lord Je-

sus for his mercy and guidance?

This is not a Jonah moment: I do not be-lieve any one person could or should step forward and declare, “Throw me overboard and all will be well.”

We as a nation have t aken a wrong pa th and it is time for all to awaken, take out our maps and get back on the r ight road: mor-ally, economically, po-

Ramsey speaks to Kiwanis

Betty Ramsey recently spoke to the Tryon Kiwanis Club about her position as publisher of the Tryon Daily Bulletin. She emphasized the many ways the Bulletin is being published now, with not only the print newspaper, but also the free website, the Appointments supplement and daily emails. She said 75 percent of the revenue for the Bulletin comes from advertising and the website has opened a new opportunity for more advertising. Seth Vining started the paper in 1928. Club president Steve Cobb thanked Ramsey for her program by presenting a children’s book that will be donated to a local school in her honor. (photo submitted by Lynn Montgomery

Life Outside

Four Wallsby Rob

McComas

August fishing requires early rising, thermocline knowledgeSummer fishing is not for

the faint of heart. But if you feel you can’t wait till fall to make some casts you can still catch fish if you think cool, happy thoughts.

The wa te r i n most lakes is 85-plus degrees at 6 a.m., which is not something the fish enjoy. In fact, many local fish have trou-ble surviving very long in temps that high. The combination of high temps and lower dissolved oxygen levels is very stressful on fish.

Although you may see schools of fish early in the morning feeding on top, this will not last long since the fish need to find cooler water along with enough oxygen to spend most of the day. With this in mind, you need to fish accordingly.

Fishing shallow very early or late in the day is a good way to catch fish, and to catch big-ger fish. After they fill them-selves beyond full, though, most fish turn very inactive, suspending at the right depth to get the coolest water and most oxygen available. This is usually found at or near a thermocline. To catch fish between dawn and dusk, you

need to find the thermocline.A sensitive depth finder is

a big plus – they can show a strong thermocline on your graph – but you can also find

indicators on a less sensitive graph such as where the bait is located, and the depth of most fish you mark on your graph.

As a general rule, Lake Lure and Lake Adger have a sum-

mer thermocline about 30 feet. If you do not have a graph, this is a good starting point for the depth you need to be fishing.

Is the thermocline really that big of a deal? The answer is yes.

If you have ever gone scuba diving or even swimming you can notice pockets of much cooler water. In scuba diving, you notice what feels like drastic temperature changes as you descend - sometimes in 3-5 foot intervals. It is amaz-ing to me how much cooler the water can be just 15 feet down. In turn, as you ascend the much warmer temps are very noticeable.

Some of the best ways to fish thermoclines are to fish drop shot baits, jigging spoons and shakey heads. Trying to keep your bait in front of the

fish for as long as possible. That doesn’t always mean fish-ing slow though. Fishing baits with a constant movement interrupted by abrupt erratic motions can trigger an inactive fish into biting, and hopefully the entire school of fish, if present, will start to feed.

To find some of the most ac-tive fish, find where the thermo-cline intersects the bottom depth. The open range fish in suspended water can be more numerous but harder to trigger a bite from.

Strangely enough, a full moon can cause fish to feed in

Jigging spoons and drop shot baits for summer fishing. (photo submitted)

the middle of the day. If I had to fish in the hot of the day, I would prefer fishing on a full moon.

In summary, get out of the bed and catch those early bit-ers, early birds can catch more than worms.

Nature’s diversity is not a mistake

Conservation CornerBetsy Burdett

One morning this week I had the pleasure of driving to work when mist hung over the Green River Gorge; the mountains actu-ally glistened.

I could see four mountain ranges. The one closest to me was bright green and the one farthest away to the west was almost blue, with mist between each row of mountains to accent the color.

It occurred to me that it was just about the most beautiful picture a person could look at, and it was mine to enjoy on the way to work.

Why was it so gorgeous when it was all green?

We make a big deal about the fall colors but rarely have I heard someone mention how beautiful the hills are when they are all green.

When it comes to nature, we love to see the different colors and shapes and sizes of the spring and fall. But in the summertime everything is green, in the middle of the seasonal life cycle.

Summer’s loveliness is more subtle; sleepier maybe. The beauty is not so “in your face” as in the spring or fall. It takes looking closer to see that the trees are all different - different

sizes, shapes, textures – inter-spersed with a few blooms here and there. If the trees had all been of the same species and age, the mountainside would have been nice looking but boring.

Yet so many of our mountains are monocultures of loblolly pines.

A monoculture is easier to manage, and far more profitable. When man is in charge of what grows, we choose what is easiest to manage.

D i v e r s i t y is not on the spreadsheet. Yet it is diversity that gave me that beautiful morning, and it is di-versity that sustains our planet.

Now I’m going to make a big leap in reasoning that may be hard to follow.

What would the forest look like if the trees had a planning and zoning board to delegate where certain species would or would not grow?

The board would certainly put certain varieties on the north face slopes where they would thrive without lots of sunlight, and the sun-loving trees like poplars and dogwoods would be on the south facing slopes.

The riparian areas would be zoned for evergreens. Some varieties, such as polonia and tree of heaven, would be zoned out of existence because they are invasive and hardy enough to grow almost anywhere and overpower native species.

Zoning does good things and helps some situations, but there is a cost.

Zoning is man-made, based upon what man thinks would be best at a certain time and a cer-tain place, usu-ally with a pinch

of self-preservation mixed in with the “for the greater good and stability” rhetoric.

Diversity does not mix with zoning.

Have you ever seen a crooked, scrawny tree with a certain shape or color that is a work of art?

A responsible planner would have culled that tree before it had a chance to grow.

Thankfully Mother Nature has her own very complicated sort of zoning that allows for diversity beyond our comprehension.

The closer we look at what’s out there, the more there is to see. And it is all beautiful.

This year’s participants are Will Trakas and Ben Stockdale of Polk County High School, along with Niklas Burkhart and David Jenet of Pirmasens. The exchange is one of several youth programs sponsored by the local Rotary Club. (photo submitted by Bill Hillhouse)
