The Town of Tryon is consid-ering amending its town code to regulate pickets, demonstrations, parades and protests with careful drafting to ensure the language does not restrict anyone’s First

Amendment right to free speech.Council met March 19 and

reviewed a draft ordinance to be included in the town’s code that would require a notification be submitted and restrictions regard-ing how close a picket, protest,

demonstration or parade could be in front of open businesses.

The original draft said that a notification has to be obtained from the town if 10 or more per-

sons want to demonstrate. Com-missioners came to a consensus that they want a notification if one or more persons is going to demonstrate, picket, protest or parade in town.

The issue of the need for picketing regulations surfaced following an Oct. 21, 2012 dem-onstration downtown where more than 50 members of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church gathered along the sidewalks holding signs against abortion.

Commissioners met the next month and asked if there is any-way to regulate future protests with some saying there was an issue with the demonstration blocking businesses.

The town’s current draft amendment to the code says pick-eting may be conducted on pub-lic sidewalks, town-controlled parks or other town-owned areas normally used or reserved for

pedestrian movement, including easements, but should not be conducted on roadways used for vehicular traffic or at a location directed, focused or targeted at a particular private residence.

Regarding businesses, the cur-rent drafts states that picketing shall not disrupt, block, obstruct or interfere with pedestrian or ve-hicular traffic or the free passage of pedestrian or vehicular traffic into any driveway, pedestrian en-trance or other access to buildings which abut the public sidewalk. Commissioners discussed the distance picketers can be from the entrance to any open busi-ness with the current draft saying picketers shall not station them-selves within 10 feet of an open business. Some commissioners were more in favor of restricting that distance to 20 feet from an entrance.

Commissioner Roy Miller said he’s pro-business and hears what others are saying about restricting protests in front of businesses, but he doesn’t want to violate anyone’s constitutional right. He said he’d like a little more time before restricting to 20 feet in front of businesses. He mentioned in the 1990s that the Ku Klux Klan walked down Main Street in Tryon with a parade, so there has been other demonstra-

tions here and “I’d hate to will-ingly go into something that may be unlawful.”

The draft also includes restric-tions to placards, signs, flags or banners that might be carried by individuals during a picket.

“Written or printed placards or signs, flags or banners carried by individuals engaged in picket-ing shall be of such a size and/or carried on the sidewalks or other town-owned areas as to allow safe and unobstructed passage of pedestrian or vehicular traffic,” states the draft restriction. “The staff or pole on which a sign, flag or banner may be carried shall be made of corrugated material, plastic or wood and shall not ex-ceed 40 inches in length and shall not be made of metal or metal alloy. If made of wood, the staff or pole shall be no greater than ¾ inch in diameter at any point. A staff or pole must be blunt at both ends.”

Although a public hearing is not required for this particular ordinance amendment, Tryon commissioners decided a public hearing will be held.

Town attorney Bailey Nager suggested that the town hold a public hearing in April and adopt something in May. The town plans to place the full draft on its website prior to a public hearing at www.tryon-nc.com. Copies are also available at town hall.

Harmon Field to purchase $19k mower

Town to delay park loan payment one year for purchaseby Leah Justice

Tryon Town Council decided to delay Harmon Field’s $12,000 loan payment to the town for the purchase of the former middle school building in order to pur-chase a new turf mower during next year’s budget.

Council met March 19 and ap-proved the method of payment for the mower.

The current Harmon Field mower requires constant mainte-nance and there has been concern about the current mower making it through the upcoming mowing season. Interim town manager Joey Davis said the current mower was out of service for over a month last year with mechanical issues.

Davis also said the town has a commercial mower that could

be used, but a turf mower is spe-cifically designed to provide the proper grooming of the fields at Harmon Field.

Harmon Field’s budget has $7,000 budgeted towards capital improvements that has not been spent this year, so the turf mower could be purchased with the town’s additional $12,000.

Harmon Field’s debt to the town for the purchase of the building was scheduled to be retired in fis-cal year 2018-2019 so the loan will be pushed now to the 2019-2020 fiscal year.

Davis also told council that Harmon Field has been unable to find a used mower and that one Harmon Field Board of Supervi-sor member said they weren’t interested in taking on any more debt service for a mower.

After some discussion about selling the old mower or keeping it, council decided to keep the old mower to use as a backup.

by Samantha Hurst

Cannons fired as men and wom-en in full military uniform marched across Harmon Field just as soldiers decades ago did not far from Tryon.

This weekend was the fifth-annual Harmon Field Heritage Days, which invites students and the public out to experience battle reenactments, crafts of the Civil War era and encampments.

Lorna Deaver, who helps orga-nize the event, said more than 550 students came through to experi-ence the event on education days Thursday and Friday.

“Rain and bad weather kept people away on Sunday but I feel like overall it was a big success and we’re already planning for next year, the fourth Saturday in March,” Deaver said.

On Saturday, March 23 the 2nd North Carolina Mounted Infantry portrayed the two sides of the Civil War in battle for about 100 spectators. Deaver said a continual flow of people also perused the site

throughout the day witnessing the men at their campsites preparing for battle.

During Stoneman’s Raid more than 5,000 mounted troops moved across Polk County from Ruther-fordton, and then north through Howard Gap.

“Stoneman’s Raid came right here past Harmon Field and it’s very likely some of the troops camped out right near the river here,” Deaver said. “We feel like it’s important to keep the history alive of what took place back then for future generations.”

A big part of this weekend’s excitement included Abraham Lincoln impersonator Chet Dam-ron. Deaver said organizers also appreciated the help of Tryon Arts and Crafts School. The school held an open house Saturday so visitors might enjoy learning about crafts they continue to teach which have been around since the Civil War such as blacksmithing or knife making.

Letter to the Editor

LiberalsTo the editor:

In response to Charles Wein-hagen, Saluda - “Whine, Whine, Whine” (March 13), I had to chuckle at your response to those that “whine” about having to live by the rules.

Don’t you under-stand that these elite liberals think the rules don’t apply to them? They honestly think that they are somehow “special” and therefore they are above the rules that apply to the rest of us?

Apparently those that purchase a Prius can now just do a “rolling stop” in order to save the cost of their own fuel; never mind that “rolling stops” have been against the law for as long as I know.

Perhaps the Prius owners that also have a co-exist bumper stick-

er on their car should be able to disregard paying their taxes too.

Oh yeah, many in this administration’s

cabinet already do that.– Cyndi Breedlove,

Mill Spring

The $600,000 light bulbTo the editor:

There is a special taxing dis-trict in Greenville County, S.C.

This district consists of prop-erties contiguous to, and in close proximity to, the Town of Tryon Water Reservoir, (aka Lake Lani-er). The tax in this district is lev-ied and collected by Greenville County. These tax dollars are paid to the Town of Tryon, N.C. for services. Payments are made to Tryon quarterly and the annual payment for the year ending June 30, 2013 will be $32,600.

This tax district was estab-lished June 18, 1991.

Without benefit of a formal audit, it can be assumed this tax-ing exercise has generated in the neighborhood of $600,000. The only visible or tangible result of this investment is a light bulb and a fixture. This light was mounted by the town on a wooden plat-form on the lake proper.

Folks, come by the town reservoir at night and see this magnificent beacon to citizen indifference, government negli-gence and the needy, worthless, “takers” that we were warned of in the presidential election cam-paign of 2012.

Water woes flood Tryon government

If you were left sputtering from the confusion that is Tryon’s disconnection policy for water service, don’t fret; we were left scratching our heads as well.

In this tough economic climate many people might be in the position of having to push this month’s bill a few days so they can buy groceries this week. It’s a reality we understand many face.

No one suggests the town become water tyrants – running to meters and shutting them down the day after someone misses a bill – but certainly Tryon officials must do something to straighten out the town’s water woes. The situation goes far beyond changing grace periods though.

We’re talking about $50,000 in water debt for a town of about 1,600; this amounts to some pretty hefty late bills. Consider too that part of what Tryon is swimming in includes $29,000 from inactive accounts that might not ever be rectified.

Councilman Wim Woody is right that the problem of people not paying their bills only gets worse if nothing is done. It potentially even causes additional water log for current customers.

If the town is constantly owed money to its water sys-tem the deficit left in revenue must be covered somehow. What does this mean? In this fiscal budget year, Tryon raised water rates by one percent. That increase equated to 15 cents more per year for customers inside town limits and as much as 32 cents for those outside town limits. This was expected to bring in an additional $15,000 and that was to cover the budget already, not to make up for debt owed.

We haven’t even broached the subjects of work that still must be completed on the town’s water plant, customer complaints over rates being too high or responsibility for Lake Lanier.

Tryon is starting to feel a bit soggy. Let’s hope the individual chosen to take on the town

manager position permanently is prepared to tackle this flood.

Robin S. Lattimore, former as-sociate editor of The Tryon Daily Bulletin, was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine on behalf of North Carolina Governor Patrick L. McCrory on Sunday, March 24. The ceremony was held in Rutherford-ton and hosted by the Rutherford County Historical Society.

The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is among the highest civilian honors that can be presented by the gover-nor to a citizen of the state. Notable recipients include Billy Graham, Andy Griffith, Charles Kuralt, Richard Petty, Bob Timberlake and Michael Jordan.

Former Rutherford County Sheriff C. Philip Byers nominated Lattimore for the honor in recog-nition of his work as a historian, educator and author. Lattimore’s portfolio of published works in-cludes more than 20 books that celebrate the history and heritage of Rutherford and Polk counties.

In addition to his work as an

author, Lattimore recently served as the chief historian and commentator for the PBS documentary “Gold Fever and the Bechtler Mint,” produced by UNC-TV in 2012. He is a three-time winner of the North Carolina History Book Award and has received the Henry Timrod Southern Culture Medal for Liter-ary Achievement. He was named the North Carolina Historian of the Year in 2009.

Lattimore was a staff member of the Tryon Daily Bulletin from 1995-2000. During that time, he earned five writing awards from the North Carolina Press Association for the newspaper. He lives in Rutherford-ton and is currently writing a history of Rutherford County (including present-day Polk County) during the American Revolutionary War focusing on the life of Col. Andrew Hampton and the Battle of Kings Mountain.

One of the less widely known tales of the Dark Corner is the one about an unnamed, yet enterpris-ing, moonshiner in the old Terry Creek section (think Cliffs Valley golf course community on the east side of U.S. 25 going north toward Asheville), who trained a couple of steers to assist him in moonshine making.

The distillery was located in a cave behind a waterfall on the backside of his property as it rose up the hilly slope toward Panther Mountain.

Very few people knew about

his unique and untraditional moonshine operation since he kept word of it limited to fam-ily and close friends. Dark Corner folks do keep se-crets, particu-l a r l y w h e n they involve kin.

I t w a s 1992, in fact, before a former neighbor of the moonshiner re-lated the story to local researcher and writer Mann Batson, so that

One moonshiner trained steers to help in his operationit reached print in his book about the upper part of Greenville County in 1993.

The steers were trained to bring malt, sugar and oth-er whiskey-making sup-plies, along with groceries for the fellows

who stayed in the cave, from the barn to the cave entrance, all on their own. The still operators would unload the supplies.

When moonshine was ready, filled 10-gallon kegs would be strapped to each side of the steers’ backs for delivery to the barn. If the kegs were loaded soon after the steers made the first delivery, they would usually turn around and start for the barn. Only oc-casionally, did they require be-ing pointed toward the barn and given a slap of their rumps.

If no return load was placed on the steers, they would leisurely graze in the vicinity for a long while and then return to the barn as night approached.

We all know the quality of our lives, particularly as we get older, depends a great deal upon our health.

We’ve heard for years now that red wine is good for our health, and frankly, alcohol in any form when consumed in moderation appears to have a protective effect upon our bod-ies. We’ve also heard that alco-hol has an effect on memory, but the effect depends on the amount consumed. Heavy al-cohol consumption takes a toll on memory function.

But how much is too much? The latest research coming out of prestigious universities, like John’s Hopkins, and studies published studies in both the Journal of the American Medi-cal Association and Epidemi-ology, are reporting both the positive and negative effects of varying levels of alcohol consumption.

Let’s talk about binge drink-ing for a moment. The study reported in Epidemiology, indi-cates that midlife binge drinking triples the risk of developing de-mentia later in one’s life. They define binge drinking as con-suming more than five bottles of beer or one bottle of wine on a single occasion, at least once p e r m o n t h . T h o s e w r i t -ers who may have consumed enough alcohol to blackout at least twice in a single year, the risk of dementia was 10 times higher than that of those who drink in moderation.

On the positive side of alco-hol consumption, the research study in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicated that people who drank one to six alcoholic beverages per week had a 54 percent lower

risk of dementia in people who never drank it all.

The protective effect of alco-hol seems to be linked to what is referred to as mild to moderate drinking. But how much alcohol is okay, and how much is too much? The truth is that to date, no optimal level of alcohol con-sumption has been established.

But most ex-perts recom-mend that men consume no more than two drinks per day, and women no

more than one drink per day. That equates to 12 oz. of regular beer, about 5 oz. of wine or 1.5 oz. of 80-proof distilled liquor.

One addit ional note for women who have an elevated risk of breast cancer, research has shown that as little as one drink a day can boost their breast cancer risk, it’s a very

good idea to talk to your doc-tors about drinking alcohol if you fall into that category.

So it appears that while not fully understood, moderate drinking has a protective ef-fect believed to be due to the improved blood flow it causes to the brain and that may help prevent small “silent” strokes. Again, by contrast, consuming 14 or more drinks per week has been associated with an increased risk of dementia. Oh, and one more thing the research indicated is that being a nonsmoker seems to further enhance the protective aspects of alcohol, and lowered the risk of developing dementia.

TFAC Arts in Education: A Night at the Opera

Twenty-five high school students from Polk and Spartanburg Counties attended Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Mikado performed by the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players at Bob Jones University through the Wheaton Fund at Tryon Fine Arts Center. North Carolina students pictured above were joined in Greenville by a group of drama and chorus students from Landrum High School. The students had dinner together at a Japanese restaurant in Greenville before the comic opera began. The opera program, being revived as part of Arts in Education at Tryon Fine Arts Center, was begun 30 years ago by Jack and Margaret Wheaton to help provide young people with cultural opportunities normally associated with larger cities.
