Columbus wins PARTF grant for vets parkTown plans to buy lot with $48k grantby Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus should be able to move forward with the purchase of a lot of approximate-ly one acre adjacent to Veteran’s Park, which is located off Gibson Street just behind downtown.

The town was notified last Thursday that it received $48,000 from the N.C. Parks and Recre-ation Trust Fund to go toward the purchase.

Town council approved the acceptance of the grant during its meeting last week.

The town has been raising funds for some time to be able to

make the purchase without tax-payer money. The grant requires a 50/50 match, and the town has already obtained the matching $48,000 through “various fund-raisers and generous donations,” according to town manager Jona-than Kanipe’s report.


Last chance for youth center raffle ticketsThe Tryon Youth Center raffle

will be held Saturday, Aug. 28 at 2 p.m. Because the minimum number of tickets has not been sold, the car award will not be an option. The winner of the raffle will receive $25,000.

To make your donation visit Caro-Mi Dining Room, Frog and Swan, Nature’s Storehouse, TJ’s Café, Town and Country Real-tors, Tryon Daily Bulletin, Tryon Federal Bank or Tryon Pharmacy or contact Franklin McKaig at 828-817-4303, 828-817-1459 or [email protected].

Lovelace shares more experiences fighting oil spillby Samantha Lovelace

Most of the effects of the Deepwater Horizon tragedy are obvious to everyone – the physi-cal impact on the water, the land, the economy and the lives and health of the people who live along the Gulf.

But there is one all-encom-passing piece of the picture that is not as easy to see. People are losing their land, their jobs, their homes, their health, their whole way of life, and the mental and emotional stress of this is build-ing daily, and not likely to be relieved in the near future.

In the aftermath of Katrina, when the storm was over, people began to rebuild and hope shone through in stages, like the sun breaking through the clouds. People began to rebuild their lives and every day was a mile-stone.

It is a very different scenario in this case. The enormous scope of the clean-up, the long-term ef-fect on the environment, on resi-dents’ lives and on the economy combined with the fact that there is no foreseeable end to it and no way to even guess what the long term effects may be or how BP and the government intend to handle it are creating an intense, ongoing level of stress.

And it’s not just confined to the Coast. Just as the whole na-tion was affected by the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we are all being affected by this, some in small ways. These are our neighbors, friends and family who are dealing with this tragedy. Our local economies are or soon will be affected by the financial fallout of this disaster, and will be for some time to come.

We began to feel the effects early on in our journey to the coast. On our third day there, we drove to Holly Beach, La., almost all the way to Texas, to help with a beach clean-up effort, remov-

ing the seaweed and other debris from the shore to help mini-mize the dam-age that would be caused by the eventual ar-rival of the oil there.

W h i l e w e were there we i n t e r v i e w e d Steven Peyronnin, the director of Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, the group that orga-nized the clean-up event and that has been working to restore the wetlands in the area for years.

We finally began to understand the true impact on the people there when we saw this strong man, the leader of a large orga-nization, who has been through many hurricanes, smaller oil spills and a million board meet-ings, break down into tears dur-ing our interview.

By the time we left the Gulf, three weeks later, we felt like combat photographers, and we still would not even begin to guess the real effect this would have on our own mental, emo-tional and physical health until

weeks later. The fact that we were home safe, in clean, beauti-ful Polk County only seemed to heighten our awareness of what the people of the Gulf are suffer-ing and will continue to suffer for an indeterminate length of time.

Our response to this was to not give up or give in to de-nial or complacency. We have continued to work on the film, which we hope will help bring this awareness to the rest of the world. We have also been work-ing on making mini-documenta-ries to give to each of the groups we worked with, to share on their websites. We have written to and called our representatives and the White House often, signed petitions and donated when we

could, and have seen many of the changes we’ve fought for come about.

We have kept in touch with the people we met along the journey, and helped them promote and share their own efforts. Thanks to the support of local organiza-tions like the Tryon Daily Bul-letin and the Upstairs Artspace, we have been able to spread awareness here and have seen the direct and positive impact of that in many ways.

The fact is that one person can make a difference, and we hope to remind and encourage others of that daily. As overwhelming as the scale of this seems to be, there are things that we can all do to help, even if we have no money, little time, or the emo-tional strength to face all of it right now.

Slowly but surely, federal, state and volunteer organiza-tions are making sense of the chaos and finding solutions to each problem, one by one. The news is now beginning to ad-dress the issues of stress and the simple hard facts that, as Riki Ott (Marine toxicologist, activist and Exxon Valdez survivor) con-firmed, the rates of depression, divorce, abuse and suicide rise sharply after an event like this.

The bad news is there, and will not go away soon, but daily we read or hear a little good news from ‘the front,’ as we call it – new U.S. Wildlife posi-tions being appointed along the coast, new testing being done by non-partisan labs, special teams formed for collecting evidence to hold BP financially responsible for the destruction, committees being formed to hear and alleviate the problems that the fishermen and other residents are facing – one by one. And it is because people are speaking up, standing up for their rights and not letting this just fade from view.

The Audubon Oil Spill Re-sponse Team contacted me about one very specific way that people

here in North Carolina and other healthy environments could help. They said that if we help the birds coming South to be as strong and healthy as possible, it could make a big difference in their ability to survive the Gulf when they arrive. They encour-aged us to plant local trees, to make sure our own backyard and local public bird sanctuaries are safe and clean and to be sure to keep pets away from any nests we see.

They also said that they were looking for experienced bird-watchers in our area to help monitor the populations as they migrate. If you are interested in volunteering, contact them at http://www.audubonaction.org. We are a definitely an area of bird lovers, so this is not only a pleasant way to help but a labor of love. We have many very active birding societies here, including our own Nature Center at FENCE. Please contact them if you have questions about how to make a better environment for birds in your own back yard or neighborhood – [email protected] or call 828-859-9021.

This is not only an easy and fun way to make a difference, but a true stress-reliever, and some-thing that the whole family can be involved in. Children are just as susceptible to being affected by tragedies like this, if not more so, and there are plenty of ways to empower them and help them find a way to make a difference too.

Another thing that we can all do is consider our own oil con-sumption. We can become aware of its use in daily life, not just in our cars, but in products we buy, use and throw away. Even with-out the wake-up call of Deep-water Horizon, this is an issue that affects us all on a daily basis and will have a serious impact on the future of our planet. Polk County has a budding movement here to help people reduce their dependence on oil consumption. Isothermal Community College offers programs and lectures on green building, sustainable living, organic gardening, and transitioning to clean, long term energy sources.

ConstruCtion Causing traffiC delays

Cars line up on Hwy. 108 because of paving work. Hwy. 108 near Pea Ridge Rd. is also under construction, as is a section of I-26 near Columbus. Polk County drivers might want to leave a little extra time to get to the first day of school tomorrow, although N.C. DOT officials say construction schedules will be adjusted to accommodate school traffic. (photo by Leah Justice)

Editor’s note: Following is the full response from Polk County commissioner Cindy Walker to questions sent by the Bulletin regarding the county’s $285,000 gift to St. Luke’s Hospital last year. An article summarizing the responses from commissioners, candidates and St. Luke’s Hospital ran in the Friday, July 23 Bulletin. Look for full responses from other commissioners and candidates in upcoming editions.

Did you approve of the transfer of the $285,000 from the sale of the James Tool building to the hospital and if so, why?

I voted in favor of the trans-fer. After two months, four meetings, and two Power Point presentations, the informa-tion shared by the hospital representatives, members of the community, and the joint hospital and county committee recommendations appeared to demonstrate that St. Luke's Hospital, one of Polk County’s largest employers and drawing cards for residency choices, was truly in dire straits.

In general, how do you feel about the donation now?

I am both amazed and puz-zled at the “turn around” par-ticularly in light of the state-ments made by commissioner Melton, voting member of the St. Luke's board of trustees, in the April 20, 2009 approved minutes, “that, given the re-sponse the board heard tonight

Walker responds to questions on St. Luke's Hospital funds

and the need of maintaining quality healthcare, this really is an emergency situation” and that he “wants to move forward and be progressive, and not wait until the hospital does close.”

To think that a $285,000.00 “shot in the arm”, could bring our beloved patient, St. Luke's, from death’s door in less than a year is truly remarkable; add to that a dose of fee hikes, staff cuts, and hard work and what you have is nothing short of miraculous.

What assistance do you see the county giving to St. Luke’s in the future?

Things appear to be going so well that perhaps St. Luke's might consider it possible to replenish the fund that handily aided their recovery so that other businesses and deserving entities might ex-perience similar successes.

— Cindy Walker

Second Wind Hall of Fame seeks nominations, holds banquet meeting

Editor’s Note: The following article was submitted by Larry Poe, president of the Second Wind Hall of Fame.

Polk County and the Thermal Belt area is home to more than 250 non-profit organizations. They provide a multitude of valu-able services to our community and its residents. The lifeblood and driving force behind these community organizations are the thousands of volunteers, mostly retirees, who offer their time, their talents, and their money to help those organizations suc-ceed.

The Second Wind Hall of Fame is a Thermal Belt entity whose mission is to recognize the many efforts of local volunteers and to honor those who have made significant contributions. In the past 30 years, over 200 volunteers have been inducted into the Second Wind Hall of Fame. Their certification reads “…in recognition of a useful and productive life, continuing beyond retirement. While others paused to rest, this dedicated per-son caught a ‘second wind’ and began a new career of service to the community and mankind.”

The Second Wind Hall of Fame has a nine member board of directors who are personally involved in volunteer activities in this area. The present board includes Larry Poe (president), Frank Ortiz (vice president), Wayne Ackerman (secretary), Carl Schumacher (treasurer), Beth Cannon, Garland Goodwin, Dick Long, Ann Whitmire, and

Ben Woodward.An annual banquet meeting is

scheduled for October 1, when SWHF members and their guests will greet the new inductees and celebrate their achievements. Columnist Pam Stone will be the featured speaker.

The qualifications for con-sideration of new inductees are that the applicant be a retiree, be over age 65, have given volun-teer service to at least three local organizations for three years, and be sponsored by one of them. The sponsoring application would include the nominal fee which covers the processing, the certi-fication, and the inductee’s atten-dance at the annual banquet. The fee is returned if the applicant is not approved for induction.

No salaries are paid to anyone. All excess revenues are added to the Second Wind career improve-ment fund, made available in grants through the Polk County Community Foundation. Current grantees include a health care worker studying for a nursing degree and a church camp opera-tor enrolling in seminary.

Anyone who knows an out-standing volunteer who deserves such recognition can start the confidential Second Wind evalu-ation process by contacting one of the directors named above. It is said of new inductees: “May God give this servant strength to continue constructive efforts, radiant with courage, as an inspi-ration to all.”

Crewmen still around who will appreciate letterTo the Editor:

I appreciate you ever so much for running my reprint column and the letter and photo of the B-17G Sentimental Journey, lovingly restored by the Arizona Wing of the Commemorative Air Force.

I saw her at the CAF Museum near Mesa, AZ when we were out there in January. She was getting her annual sprucing up for the coming year of appearances on the air show circuit.

There are a goodly number of crewmen still around who will appreciate seeing the letter, including Sid (Barnsley) at TDB. My cousin Bryant flew B-17s for gunnery training before becom-ing Airplane Commander on a B-29 that he flew off Tinnian Island in the Pacific. There are also a number of B-17 crewmen who are members of the Western North Carolina Air Museum in Hendersonville. I am editor of its newsletter, Skylines . . . The current issue includes an article about a B-17 radio operator who presented a program for us.

Really enjoyed Pam Stone’s birthday party. But like her mom, I’d pass on the Big Mac.

Polk County justice?To the Editor:

TDB Friday, August 13, 2010 had this headline: “Former Sheriff Abril gets probation, community service for DWI conviction.” The article points out that he received 18 months of unsupervised pro-bation, 24 hours of community service, and a fine of $455 and court costs.

In the article entitled “Polk district court results,” I noticed that one individual received this sentence from the court for “driving while impaired” (DWI): Three years of supervised proba-tion, 8 days in jail, a $400 fine and court costs.

This person is not a former sheriff, there’s no indication that he’s on probation, and he wasn’t convicted of a “felony solicita-tion to take indecent liberties with a minor.” Yet his court punishment is similar to that of the former sheriff, the highest ranking law enforcement officer in the county.

My understanding of the use of probation in sentencing is that it is an alternative to invoking the actual court penalty for breaking the law. But when probation is violated, as in the case of former sheriff Abril, in most cases, it is revoked and the original sentence is activated. Does “probation” really mean anything in Polk County? Where’s the “equal justice under the law”?

workshops in Gatlinburg, Tenn., and performed at the annual clog-ging convention.

Soloists on the team were Madison Yellen, who performed a choreographed solo as well as freestyle solos at the competi-tions and is recognized for her fast feet, and Bailey Lowman, who performed freestyle solos.

This year, the team has added more team members and more soloists as well as duos. The members plan to attend more competitions with the help of their instructor Katrina Kaplin and support of the studio owner, Missy Fincher.

Comedic author, columnist Cappy Hall Rearick to read in Saluda Thurs.

Cappy Hall Rearick, an award winning short story writer, will be reading short pieces from one or more of her published books at the Saluda Inn Wine Cellar on August 26 at 7:30 p.m.

Rearick is the author of five successful columns, “Alive and Well in Hollywood,” “Tidings,” “Simply Southern,” and “Put-tin’ on the Gritz,” which can be read monthly in Lowcountry Sun Newspaper in Charleston, S.C. She also writes an e-column called “Simply Something.”

Rearick was born in Orange-burg, S.C. She was an English major at the University of South Carolina and later became a flight attendant for American Airlines. Some years later, she moved to Los Angeles and then to Pennsylvania. In 1994, she returned to her be-loved South to settle in St. Simon’s Island, Ga., with her husband Bill. In September, 2009, they bought a second home in Saluda.

Rearick is past president of the Southeastern Writers Asso-ciation. Her first novel, “Seldom Seen,” is finished and looking for a home while she juggles time to work on a second novel, “Secrets.” She recently published a short story collection, “Return to Rocky Bottom,” available at amazon.com.

Two years after the book “Simply Southern” came out, her second book, “Simply Christ-mas,” was published. In Novem-ber 2006, a collaboration with St. Simons Island restaurateur Bar-bara Jean Barter was successfully launched. Scattered throughout “Barbara Jean’s Cookbook” are stories written by Rearick.

The third book in the Simply series, “Simply Southern Ease,” was published in June 2006, and is available for purchase at ama-zon.com, barnesandnoble.com, borders.com, iuniverse.com, and also from American Public Media Group: Public Radio BookSource at www.booksite.com.

N.C. State Highway Patrol announces decrease in teenage driver fatalities

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol announced a 40 percent decrease in the number of teenage driver fatalities when compared to last year’s rate.

By July 26, 2009, the high-way patrol had investigated 47 teen driver fatalities. By July 26, 2010, the highway patrol had investigated only 28.

“Operation Drive to Live” was conducted in the months of May and June near high schools throughout North Carolina. Troopers enforced all traffic laws and conducted numerous traffic safety education programs across

the state. The campaign was a collaborative effort between parents, school administrators and community.

With the new school year beginning, the highway patrol will continue to monitor and educate the teenage population on the dangers of irresponsible driving.

According to the National Highway Traffic and Safety Ad-ministration, 56 percent of fatal crashes occur on rural roads and speed remains to be the leading cause of those deaths.

George FreierGeorge Freier died early Sat-

urday morning, August 21, at Hospice House in Landrum with his wife, Patricia, and children, Connie and Jim, by his side. He was 89 years old.

George is survived by Pat, his wife of 69 years, his daughter, Connie Freier of Arden, N.C, and his son, Dr. James Freier and wife, Martha, of Seattle Wash-ington. He will also be deeply missed by his sister, Elinor Potter, seven grandchildren (Patti, Ja-cob, Isaac, Abraham, Danielle, Heather, Nathan), and five great-grandchildren (Gaia, Joshua, Za-vier, Owen, Aiden), plus numerous loving nieces and nephews.

George was born to Gottlieb and Caro-line Freier on a 30-acre fruit farm just outside Benton Har-bor, Mich., on March 15, 1921. He was the 12th of 13 children, preceded in death by six brothers and five sisters. He learned the lessons of hard work and dedication while growing up on the farm and applied those throughout his life in both his profession and lifetime of com-munity service.

George graduated from Ben-ton Harbor High School in 1939, where he met the love of his life, Patricia Curtis. They married on June 28, 1941. George completed his veterinary studies while at-tending the college of veterinary medicine at Michigan State Uni-

versity, graduating in 1943.

Upon graduation, the Army Reserves

commissioned George a second lieutenant with orders to practice large animal medicine in Union-ville, Mich. At the end of the war, he and Pat and their two small children moved back to Benton Harbor where he established the Freier Animal Hospital and later, the Hawthorne Animal Clinic. During the next 40 years, in addi-

Obituaries tion to practicing veterinary medi-cine, George served as president of both the Michiana Veterinary Medical Association and the Michigan State Veterinary As-sociation, and also was chairman of the Michigan Board of Exam-iners in Veterinary Medicine. He loved his profession, often saying that he could not remember a day when he did not look forward to going to work.

In 1985, George and Pat retired to Columbus. They built a house in Morgan Chapel Village, where they lived for 11 years and where he served as president of the ho-meowners’ association. He also

served as president of the Rotary Club of Tryon, an organi-zation of which he was a member for 25 years. In 1997, they moved to Tryon Es-tates, a loving retire-ment community. There George made many good friends and took an active part in several com-mittees, including

the medical liaison committee and the Christmas gift committee. George was an active member of the Tryon Presbyterian Church for 25 years. In 1992, he was awarded the State of North Caro-lina Certificate of Appreciation for his “dedication and devotion in providing volunteer services to North Carolina’s greatest re-source, her people.”

It was George’s commitment to community service that led him to become involved with Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, serving as a volunteer for over 20 years. So it was fitting that he spend his final days in Hospice House, sur-rounded with the loving care of the medical staff and volunteers.

George was highly respected and loved by all who knew him, and will be greatly missed. His memorial service will be held at Tryon Presbyterian Church at 11 a.m. on Saturday, September 4, 2010. Remembrances may be made to Hospice of Carolina Foothills, Tryon Rotary Scholar-ship Fund, or the Tryon Presby-terian Church.

Preschool Storytime resumes at Polk, Saluda libraries

After a hiatus for the libraries’ Summer Reading Programs, Pre-school Storytime will resume at the Polk County Public Library in Columbus on Tuesday, August 31 at 10:30 a.m. and on Wednesday, September 1 at 10:30 a.m. at the Saluda Community Library.

Preschool Storytime is an opportunity for young children to bond with their parent or care-giver over books, stories, music and rhyming games. It’s a great way for kids to equate books, reading and libraries with fun shared with family.

Storytime is open to area children and caregivers. Parents or caregivers must accompany children and remain with them throughout the program.

Check the library website at www.publib.polknc.org to see a schedule of all library children’s programming. Calendars are also available at the library’s chil-dren’s desk.

Eliminate bathtubs to save waterTo the Editor:

Since the whole planet is having trouble with a shortage of water I thought I would tell you what I did years ago. If you are building a house or remodel-ing, this is what I did. Build a shower that has a high part where you step in, like you step into a bathtub. Eliminate any bathtubs and fill the shower and soak in it if you want to . This not only uses half the amount of water but you save space and money by not buying a bathtub.

Saluda Elementary School launches Box Tops fundraiser

Saluda Elementary School has announced the launch of its 2010-2011 Box Tops for Educa-tion fundraising campaign. This year the school has set a goal of earning $1,200 through Box Tops to purchase playground upgrades.

Box Tops for Education is a school fundraising program started by General Mills in 1996. To date, Box Tops has helped America’s schools raise over $300 million to buy things they need but can’t always afford, such as library books, school supplies and playground equip-ment.

School supporters can earn cash for their favorite school with Box Tops through everyday activities such as buying grocer-ies, shopping online and buying books. Schools can earn a total of up to $80,000 each year.

Here’s how you can help:

• Clip Box Tops from hun-dreds of favorite products and send them to Stephanie Durham, Box Tops coordinator, at Saluda Elementary School, 214 E. Main St., Saluda, N.C. 28773.

• Sign up to support Saluda Elementary School on the Box Tops website at btfe.com.

• Shop online. Saluda Elemen-tary School will earn up to 15 percent of qualifying purchases when you shop at over 100 popu-lar online stores at the Box Tops Marketplace®.

• Buy books. Saluda Elemen-tary School will earn up to 6 percent of purchases made online at Barnes & Noble through the Box Tops Reading Room.

For more information, visit btfe.com or contact Stephanie Durham, Saluda Elementary School Box Tops coordinator, at 828-329-5078 or by e-mail at [email protected].

Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by Dean campbell

Early pioneer, Gresham Callahan, left indelible mark on Dark Corner

he 200-year-old gosnell cabin, first inhabited by gresham callaham, has been relocated and restored on the mauldin cultural center grounds. Located around the cabin are five different heritage gardens and native plants familiar to early pioneers. The cabin and gardens are open to the public, free of charge.

Indian fighter, pioneer, trap-per and trader, Gresham Cal-lahan, came to the mountains of the Dark Corner in the very early years of the nineteenth century. He first appeared in the census of 1810.

He settled at the foot of a mountain that bears his name. The modern day roadway that traverses the route of the old State Road passing by his mountain is now aptly named Callahan Mountain Road.

A higher mountain on the opposite side of this roadway is called Old Indian Mountain. There are some who say that this mountain, too, is named for Callahan since one of his numerous nicknames was “Old Indian.” Others say the moun-tain was named for an aging Cherokee chief.

In any event, Gresham Cal-lahan was the first known resi-dent of a log cabin built at the foot of Old Indian Mountain around 1810. Log cabin experts consider it an unusual structure because it was started in the Cherokee style of construction and finished in the style of white settlers to the area.

Located a short distance from Poinsett’s Bridge, built on the old State Road in 1820, the cabin was Callaham’s resi-dence at the time of the bridge’s construction. The State of South Carolina paid Callahan and three other settlers small amounts of reparation for damages to their crops in converting the Indian trail into a usable toll road.

The grizzled old trapper and trader was buried on Graveyard Hill, a small ridge between Old Indian Mountain and Little Mountain, to the northeast of

Callaham’s mountain.The log cabin came un-

der the ownership of John H. Goodwin at some point. He sold it along with 300 acres to the Rev. John Jack Gosnell in 1875. Three generations of the Gosnell family lived in it.

A portion of the 300 acres was sold to the Blue Ridge Council, Boy Scouts of America for a camp, named Camp Old Indian, in 1927. Luther Gosnell, the last member of the family to live in the cabin, was caretaker for the camp until his death in 1941.

After 1941, the cabin was used for a few years as part of camping activities but then fell into disrepair since the scouting organization did not have funds to renovate and maintain it.

In 2009, three men with ties to the scouting adventure at Old

Indian were instrumental in the removal of the Gosnell Cabin from the mountain and its resto-ration in the Mauldin Cultural Center at the intersection of Murray Drive and East Butler Road (County Route 107).

The o f f i -cial histori-cal marker is installed at 101 East Butler Road, Mauldin.

****The ghostly tale of a phantom

baby crying, in our last column, can most likely be explained by a natural phenomenon. Pu-mas (relatives of present-day mountain lions and bobcats) were native to these mountains in the early days of settlement. Their calls were often mistaken for a frightened baby’s cry. A visitor to the mountains would probably not have been cogni-zant of that fact.

Moments and peopleWe’ve been working our way through the Book of

ecclesiastes this summer at church. The book reveals the depression that inevitably results from seeking happiness in worldly things. The book gives us a chance to see the world through the eyes of a person who, though very wise, is trying to find meaning in temporary, human things. Most every form of worldly pleasure is explored by the Teacher, and none of it gives him a sense of meaning.

It has been very timely reading as we notice a world which has come face-to-face these past few years with selfish human follies and their demise. Yet, the wisdom in the story is to realize that moments and people are what we do have in life. Look around this past week and you see moments and people to celebrate.

Of course, the children, the youngsters, skipping and laughing, remind us of our own youth. We too were care-free, though, thinking back, the world was no less troubled. Conflict was raging in Viet Nam and at home. As we were then, tomorrow, happy youngsters, full of optimism, return to classrooms, seeking knowledge and growth.

Look at Columbus, where councilwoman ernie Kan determined that — money or no money — the sidewalk around the historic courthouse would be replaced, brick by brick. Others gravitated to her vision and it was done.

Look at polk County Schools where a Chinese teacher has come to broaden the horizons of middle school stu-dents, teaching them Mandarin and Chinese culture. When they are grown, it will be a different world. polk County today seeks to teach what they will need tomorrow.

Look at Tryon, where budget woes have been front page news all spring. It looks promising for the town to perhaps receive a $2.6 million grant to create bike lanes and sidewalks, to realize long planned improvements.

Hold on to such moments, and people. They are truly the only stuff of the good life. — JB

Editorial on DSS misrepresented my stated positionTo the editor:

One does not have to misstate the facts or twist another’s words to present his case, if the case has merit.

Unfortunately, in Jeff Byrd’s recent editorial entitled, ‘“estimating” versus reality of DSS’, he misquotes my words more than once, and skews the meaning of my factual account of the long drawn-out process of indecision and delays associ-ated with the DSS construction project.

Before addressing the core is-sue of my letter, the DSS budget, Byrd begins by misrepresenting my reasons for leaving my former political party to become an un-affiliated candidate. My reasons were clearly stated in the letter I submitted to the Bulletin, which was printed March 1, 2010.

In the heart of his editorial, Byrd downplays my reasons for advocating the original building site, and inaccurately claims there is no room for expansion on that site. actually, the original site on park Street was deemed to be a very good site by our resident architect/project Manager, Mr. Cannon. and as I stated previ-ously, the site allowed for expan-sion with the ability to have a walk-out lower level as well as an unfinished second floor.

The expansion would be built into the original design, and ob-viously a stairwell and elevator would be needed, but the unfin-ished square footage would have allowed for the growth sought by some of the Commissioners, and as a means of housing other agencies in need of space.

Byrd claims that “the steep

site would have required heavy grading”. However, he fails to mention that the site’s natural topography lends itself to Mr. Cannon’s concept of using a walk-out lower level and two levels of parking, which would

have actually limited the grading require-ments.

The road improve-ments at park Street were optional, not

mandatory, as proclaimed by Byrd. However, I am in favor of widening the street and creating a better line-of-sight and a safer intersection at park Street and Hwy 108, whether or not another County facility is located there. Those who visit gibson park pool, the park Street residents, and the employees and clients of the Country Bear Day Care and Bubbles Car Wash would all be safer turning onto Hwy 108 with the needed improvements.

The park Street paving costs would have been minor com-pared to the grading and paving required to access the new site at Wolverine Trail. and at either location, a traffic signal is likely to be necessary in the future. It’s just a matter of time.

With regard to “estimating vs. reality”, Byrd seems to agree with Chairman Walker that we should simply discard our budget because costs came in substan-tially higher. I don’t know about you, but at my home and in my construction business, when ac-tual bids are substantially higher than my budget, I have to go back to the drawing board and make some tough decisions to either find the money or cut the costs.

Byrd slyly changed the mean-ing of my argument regarding delays caused by the site change, by focusing on the budget quoted, instead of the time wasted. Obvi-

ously, if we had stayed with the original site, we were poised to move ahead and solicit bids for the building a year ago. In that scenario, the new building could have been complete by now, as I stated.

My words of caution were meant to warn our Board that with initial costs at such a high level, we can expect other budget overruns. as a concerned citizen and as your elected representa-tive, I cannot sit idly by while a

majority of our Board simply ig-nores our agreed-upon budget in an effort to expedite this project at any cost. and I’m surprised and disappointed that Mr. Byrd is “drinking the Kool-aid”.

and by the way, I am not advocating for a change of site at this late date. Wolverine Trail is our building site. I voted for it and I do not want to change it. What I am asking my fellow Commissioners to do, is to be good stewards of taxpayer dol-lars. Citizens expect us to spend wisely.

And finally, Mr. Byrd refers to

comparing actual bids and clearer costs with “fantasy numbers”. The only fantasy I am aware of is that ”polk County government has a money tree”. The reality is that we are in a recession. polk County government needs to do what most polk County citizens have learned to do...live on less, spend wisely, and stretch our budget dollars. I sincerely believe that we can build this DSS building for our original budget of $1.7 Million, and that is my goal!
