Planning board works to replace elevation with slope in MRPOSlope restrictions to apply across countyby Leah Justice

A subcommittee of the Polk County Planning Board held its first meeting on Thursday, June 7 and agreed it makes sense to apply slope restrictions throughout the entire county.

The planning board is specifically working to put slope restrictions in place of the current elevation restric-tions in the countys mountain and ridgeline protection ordinance (MRPO).

Board members agreed that whatev-er threshold is determined will apply in

Britton said early numbers show 12,198 paid gate admis-sions, while 2,898 kids came through both days and anoth-er 3,688 adults got in without charge during free admission hours Friday morning.

gize for vendors running out of barbecue Saturday night. Texas Rib Rangers, an 18th-year vendor, came with 500 pounds of meat and sold 400 pounds Friday night alone. Britton said vendors had already replenished their booths with additional food shipments after Fridays crowd, but no one could have expected double the attendance of last year.

We ran out of food but what that did was send people to our other area restaurants the eco-nomic impact I believe was real-ized by our local businesses. Plus, these people do come back to our area. So, were feeling extremely good about the turnout.

Britton said he was again es-pecially grateful for volunteers this year.

Our volunteers you cant say enough about those people that came out here to help. We had more than 400 volunteers taking care of each and every little aspect,

he said. And while organizers and ven-

The barbecuing fanatics one of Two Old Men and a Grill from Cherryville, N.C. and the other behind The Blue Bloods barbecue team from Hammond, La. first met at a competition in Pensacola, Fla. While there the two men and their wives discovered a kinship in firing up their smokers side by side.

This year the two won side by side, grabbing Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion titles, respectively.

That man is the reason Im do-ing what Im doing, so to get this with him is amazing, Mauro said of his barbecuing mentor, Roberts. Its like I told ya this man taught me everything I know. My recipes are his recipes just with my own twists put on them.

ample; Roberts win here in Tryon marked his fourth Grand Cham-pion title in five months.

This feels fantastic its (the Grand Champion win) just as good as the first one, Roberts said.

Two Old Guys and a Grill also captured the Governors Cup, the State of North Carolina champi-onship. Roberts knows how to get it done, but he said it isnt rocket science.

We make it taste like meat, Roberts said. When you start out doing this you want to throw everything on it, but then you learn to scale it back.

Snagging the overall win came about from consistently placing in the top 10 in all four categories third in chicken, sixth in brisket and ribs, and 10th in pork.

Other category winners in-cluded: Too Bad Youre My Cousin Anything But; Carolina Barbecue Company - Dessert;

Oink, Cackle and Moo II Whole Hog; The Blue Bloods Chicken; Redneck Scientific Pork Ribs; Bubbas Backyard Pork; and Polk County Barbecuers Bris-ket.

Tryon hears testimony in Hannon CDBG complaintCouncil to hear findings June 19by Leah Justice

The investigative committee of Tryon Town Council heard testimo-ny from the Hannon and Littlejohn family on June 5 regarding a com-plaint about a house being left out of the 2008 Community Develop-ment Block Grant (CDBG) project, through which several houses in Tryons Eastside were renovated.

The family of homeowner Haywood Hannon has filed a com-plaint because the home at 57 West Livingston Street was dropped from the project because of lack of funds. The family was also upset because the home was hooked up to town sewer to comply with grant restrictions.

Brook Hannon, grandson of Haywood Hannon, initially voiced concerns over the project during town councils April 2 meeting, at

which the town returned $43,533 to the state.

The budget for the Hannon house renovations was $52,000 but the estimate came in at $70,000.

Paula Kempton of Isothermal Planning and Development Com-mission (IPDC), which adminis-tered the grant for the town, said she tried to get a contractor to use the remaining approximately $43,000 to do as many renova-tions to the house as possible but the state wouldnt allow the work because it wasnt enough money to bring the home up to code.

Brook Hannon told the inves-tigative committee on June 5 his grandfather agreed for the town to run a sewer line only because he was led to believe it was neces-sary and part of getting his house renovated.

Town officials said the sewer hookup was a separate issue from the renovations and that they tried everything to get the house com-

pleted. Kempton said contractors could not have noooked up the sewer without Hayood Hannons permission. Councilman Roy Miller, liaison for the project, said he did everything to try to get the house completed, even go as far as to get the town to offer $10,000 toward the project while asking the state for an additional $25,000, which was denied.

Grant funding paid for the sewer connection, which was one of Brook Hannons questions to the town. He said he wanted to know who was responsible for his family having an additional expense of $60 per month without the upgrades to the home.

Hannon said Miller didnt tell the family that the house was not going to be renovated. Miller said he thought the house was going to be included until the final word in December 2011. Councilman George Baker asked Hannon what he wanted the town to do, referring

to his question as blue sky. Han-non answered once that he wanted the sewer disconnected, but the septic tank was removed when the sewer connection was made. Hannon also said he wanted the opportunity to secure the additional funding in order to complete the renovations, but town officials said it was too late for that since the town already sent the remaining funding back to the state. Hannon ended by saying he hopes when the town secures additional funding for CDBG projects his familys home will be put at the top of the list.

Kempton said that is possible if the home meets the criteria in the future.

We all wanted the house to be fixed, Miller said. And I think that in all fairness and clarity every-thing that we did is documented.

The grant does allow one home to be dropped from the project,

all sections of the county and that they all want scientific reasons for choosing at which slope more strict regulations begin. The county has discussed requiring studies before a structure can be built on land with a slope of 30 percent or greater, but planning board members are seek-ing input to determine that slope percentage.

Planning board member David Smith said he doesnt want to knock anyone out of being able to build their own home, but the board does need to look at the restrictions from the point of groundwater re-charge, septic systems and erosion.

I want it based on fact, Smith said. I think we should go out and look and come up with whats best for Polk County. The only way we can do it is get scientific experts to come in and tell us.

Smith had done some research prior to the meeting with calcula-tions on how to compute slope and data from other areas regard-

ing building restrictions on slope. Smith said 24 percent was the average slope at which restrictions were implemented in areas he re-searched, but he specified that no one forbid building.

The thing I got out of looking at all of this is just about everyone looks at percentage (of slope) but is careful to make sure everyone looks at the building envelope, and once you get above a certain percentage different building code kicks in, Smith said. It doesnt forbid anyone from building.

Polk County Planner Cathy Ruth showed a slideshow of pic-tures taken from the top of the Sanctuary development in Colum-bus Township to give people an idea of what a 30-percent slope looks like.

Board member Michael Axel-rod said he looked at his property and places that had an 18-percent slope seemed logical to build on, but an area his family sleds on when it snows has a 32-percent slope, which seems too steep to build on.

Id have a hard time envision-ing a house built into that (32-per-cent slope), Alexrod said.

Board member Bill Ennis said if someone wants a basement and its 30 feet deep a contractor would need a 30 percent slope to build on. Ennis said what the planning board needs to decide is what they are trying to restrict. He asked whether the concern was landslides and erosion.

Erosion was another topic of the boards meeting, with Wayne Horne discussing the importance of vegetation.

Horne said he was up at Worlds Edge recently when a downpour hit the area. Where there was no vegetation on a 10-percent slope the water was moving gravel, Horne said.

Where there was vegetation there was nothing, Horne said. If youre disturbing more than a third of an acre somethings got to be done.

Horne also gave his opinion on how strict the ordinance should be, saying he wants to ensure, If Joe

Citizen wants to build a house they can come in and not jump through a bunch of hoops.

I just dont want to make the land worthless to someone that owns it, Horne said.

The planning board is working to amend the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) draft, which includes mountain and ridgeline protections that currently restrict commercial development on eleva-tions above 1,650 feet. The plan-ning board will recommend the UDO ordinance to the Polk County Board of Commissioners for final approval.

The next planning board meet-ing is scheduled for this Thursday, June 14 at 5 p.m. Engineer Dave Odom is scheduled to speak to members, as is Karyl Fuller, a GIS planner with the Isothermal Plan-ning and Development Commis-sion, who will speak on viewsheds.

All planning board meetings allow public comment and are held in the second floor meeting room of the Womack building in Columbus.

Sloperestriction(Continued from page 1)

with the focus of the neighbor-hood revitalization project being low-income homeowners and higher priority given to disabled and elderly residents.

R. Haywood Hannon (home-owner) and Angela H. Littlejohn (daughter of Haywood Hannon, who lives in the home) sent a letter to Tryon with their griev-ance on May 2, 2012. The letter states that the homeowners have concerns that work that was com-pleted on their home to connect the property to city sewer has resulted in additional expenses.

The letter further states that throughout the application pro-cess, members of IPDC consis-tently and clearly stated that if any work was started on any prop-erty being funded by the grant, all related work must be completed and the property brought up to standard building codes.

If this is the case, when coun-cilman Miller advised Littlejohn/Hannon of the requirement to connect their property to the city

sewer and the family complied, the family assumed that CDBG funds were expended on the property under the guise of pre-paring the property for the addi-tional work originally authorized under the CDBG grant, states the letter. With this expenditure of CDBG funds, it would seem there is a legal mandate to com-plete the originally planned work on the property.

Baker asked Brook Hannon what he thinks the town did wrong, and Hannon answered he has nothing against the town.

Why would we do bad things to you guys? Baker asked. Whats our motivation to go down there and destroy your neighborhood?

Baker added that at the time the town asked Haywood Hannon to hook up to town sewer, the town did not know the house renova-tions would not be completed.

The investigative committee will present its findings to the full town council on June 19. If the town finds no wrongdoing, the complaint can move forward with state officials.

Happy FatHers Day

a special tHank you to all our sponsors!

Fathers Day is a day to honor any man who is a parent. It is celebrated in the U.S. on the third Sunday in June. Many other coun-tries also observe the same type of celebra-tion on varying days of the year. The purpose of this day is to celebrate fatherhood. Sonora Dodd was the daughter of Mr. William Smart. Sonoras Mother died during childbirth, so Mr. Smart was a single Father to six children, as well as a Civil War veteran. Dodd was honored by her Fathers love, hard work, and dedication to raising his family alone, so she campaigned to create the first Fathers Day. On June 19, 1910, in Spokane, Washington, the first Fathers Day was observed. The holidays popularity caught on, and in 1966 President Lyndon B. Johnson made the third Sunday in June an official holiday. President Nixon made it a permanent part of our Coun-trys annual festivities in 1977. Most people celebrate Fathers Day by giv-ing their Dad a gift or card. Children make cards and presents for their Dads and treat them extra special that day. Some families have special traditions, such as taking Dad out to lunch. However you and your family choose to celebrate, make sure to tell your Dad that you love him. Dont forget that your Grandfather is a Dad, too!

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongues roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascars primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemurs natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Todays dollars, like most currencies, are called fiat money which means they are backed by peoples faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.
