Miller pushing for faster action on dilapidated homes in Tryon’s EastsideTown plans to adopt demolition ordinances soonby Leah Justice

Tryon Councilman Roy Miller is questioning how the town’s Eastside neighborhood can be revitalized when there are dilapi-dated structures throughout the area, some of which are no longer visible from being engulfed in kudzu.

Miller questioned other town council members at a meeting Tuesday, Aug. 16. He asked why it is taking so long to get dilapi- Two dilapidated houses in Tryon’s Eastside community, one on E. Howard

dated homes demolished, saying the town is wasting time and money. Many of the structures have been dealt with through a few town employees over several years, Miller said.

“We have homes at this point that are fully engulfed in kudzu;” Miller said. “That are not visible. They are falling more and more in a state of dilapidation and now we’re starting over again.”

Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said he, town fire chief and code enforcer Joey Davis, former councilman Warren Car-son and Miller recently rode around town and looked at the sites on the list that currently do not meet minimum housing code.

The town has budgeted $10,000 this year to demolish dilapidated structures. Hembree said town attorney Bailey Nager has researched where the town

In the last couple of years, the town has d e m o l i s h e d three dilapi-dated structures in the Eastside neighborhood and one mobile home on Rippy Road in the town’s extrater-ritorial jurisdic-tion (ETJ).

Miller took the Bulletin on a tour of dilapidated structures in the Eastside community on Monday, Aug. 22, showing 13 structures on various streets that need to be demolished. Miller said not only are the structures eyesores, but they are not sanitary


to be near as they are havens for snakes, roaches and rodents.

Several of the structures are no longer visible because of kudzu and other overgrowth. Many structures have broken or boarded-up windows and doors

a n d s e v e r a l have roofs that are falling in.

There is an-other structure on the list on Depot Street, according to Miller.

“ I d o n ’ t think the coun-cil has really seen the houses we are talking abou t now,” Mi l l e r s a id . “They are an eyesore right in the middle of a community.

How can we have a revitaliza-tion when you have houses that decrease the value of other prop-erties? We need to move on it.”

ber the town adopt as many ordi-nances to demolish as employees can get ready. The town can talk to a contractor to see what kind of discount they can offer to do multiple demolitions at one time.

“Our game plan is between this meeting and the next meet-ing to be prepared to have as many (ordinances) as possible to adopt,” said Hembree.

Nager said he would have to check on state statutes, but said he thinks once an ordinance is ap-proved, the town should be able to demolish structures whenever the funds become available.

This is not the first time the issue of dilapidated structures has come before town council.


Former councilman Warren Car-son routinely brought pictures to town council urging the town to clean up the Eastside neighbor-hood.

A few years ago the town de-cided to budget $30,000 specifi-cally for demolitions. The Tryon Fire Department has in the past demolished structures by fire as training at no cost, but many properties are not safe to demol-ish in that manner.

The town is also currently considering and researching oth-er ordinances that would allow the town to make the property owner pay the costs of having the town do maintenance such as mowing grass and clearing growth on private properties that are violating the town’s nuisance ordinance.

This house, rapidly being overtaken by kudzu, is located on Markham Road on the Eastside. (photo by Leah Justice)

Columbus approves new business regulationsDoor-to-door sales prohibited; non-profits exemptby Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus now has more stringent regulations in its zoning ordinance, especially for temporary vendors.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Aug. 18 and approved amendments to the town’s busi-nesses regulations and zoning ordinance.

Prohibited activities in the town include any door-to-door sales, except by non-profit agen-cies, including children and sports’ teams. Non-profits plan-ning door-to-door fundraising campaigns will now have to obtain a permit.

Town officials have dis-cussed the new regulations for several months, with town coun-cil members saying requiring a permit from town hall will let the town know who is allowed to solicit at private residences.

According to the town’s

business regulations and zoning ordinance, “It shall be unlawful for any person to go in or upon, or permit his or her represen-tatives to go in or upon, any private residential premises in the town as solicitor, peddler, hawker, itinerant merchant or transient vendor of merchan-dise, not having been requested or invited so to do by the oc-cupant of the private residence or premises or having procured the occupant’s permission so to do, for the purpose of soliciting orders for the sale of goods, wares, magazines or other pe-riodicals or merchandise, or for the purpose of distributing, dis-posing of, peddling or hawking the same, except that non-profit organizations may undertake the foregoing activities after first obtaining a permit as provided in this chapter.”

Any peddlers, solicitors and canvassers must first apply for a permit from town hall, specifying information about themselves, the item to be sold and the time frame of selling.

“Time and tides wait for no one.” (Attributed to Geof-frey Chaucer and others.)

As I write this it is Sun-day of the last full week of August and I am sitting on the front porch of a beach house.

Directly offshore a pew-ter-grey bank of clouds patrol the coast and off to the east a curtain of rain obscures the horizon. The water to the south resembles hammered steel, and to the west a rainbow arcs grace-fully across Folly Beach Pier. It is the last week of summer vacation and I am quite content.

I am one of those charac-ters who never had a typical “9-to-5” job. I have been an artist, teacher, counselor and pastor and I have usu-ally been able to set my

own hours and schedules, more or less. As a result, my internal clock is set to seasons and their changes rather than to days or hours and their requirements.

At the moment, I am acutely aware that the sea-son is about to change and with that change new op-portunities, new hopes and the chance for a fresh start will arise.

Back in the “old days,” when school did not start until after Labor Day, the last week of August was usually filled with transitions. New school clothes and supplies were eagerly anticipated; band or sports camps were in full gear; summer romances were reluctantly set aside; the days began to shorten, and while it rarely became cooler until October, there

was still a hint of autumn in everything. There was an eager anticipation of new beginnings, new aspirations and hopefulness – and there still is.

In the book of Ecclesias-tes, the teacher wrote, “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted…”

(If you are my age you will remember those words writ-ten by Pete Seeger in 1959 and recorded by The Byrds in 1965 as “Turn! Turn! Turn!”)

As time passes irresist-ibly and the tides come and go unceasingly, so do the seasons of our lives and the work God has given us to do.

Next week I will return to my duties at Holy Cross and we will initiate or renew our programs for the com-

ing academic year and look forward to the coming sea-sons of Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter and Pentecost.

As individuals and as a church family we will look back on that which is past. We will savor what was good and sigh over that which was not, and yet turn our eyes to the future and the work God has given us to do.

The seasons change yet our call to be God’s people – loving and caring com-munities of faith and service – does not.

That is the constant. No matter how things change from time to time, God’s commandment that we love and serve one another does not. It is this love that sees us through the harsh winters of our lives.

Did I mention that I saw a rainbow in the clouds this morning?

Tenor Nicholas Phan first of TCA concerts at TFAC

The Tryon Concert Asso-ciation (TCA) will feature American tenor Nicholas Phan in the opening concert of the 2011-2012 TCA season. This performance will be held at the Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) on Melrose Avenue in Tryon on Friday, Oct.7 at 8 p.m.

A graduate of the University of Michigan, Phan studied at the Manhattan School of Music and Aspen Music Festival and School. He has been a member of Wolf Trap Opera and is an alumnus of the Houston Grand Opera Studio.

Considered one of the rising young stars of the opera world, Phan made his professional operatic debut with Glimmer-glass Opera in 2002. He has performed widely in major op-eratic roles across this country and in Europe.

To name but a few of his roles, he was Count Almaviva in “Il Barbiere di Siviglia,” Nemo-rino in “L’Elisir d’Amore,” Lin-doro in “L’Italiana in Algerie,” Fenton in “Falstaff,” Tamino in “Die Zauberflote” and Don Ot-tavio in “Don Giovanni.”

Phan has appeared in recital with leading orchestras and conductors across the United States, as well as in musical festivals here and abroad. He recently made his debut at the BBC Proms and the Bard Music Festival.

This fall he will be on a re-cital tour of the United States, which culminates at Carnegie

Hall in December. In his work in vocal cham-

ber music he has collaborated with many major pianist and vocalist.

Phan’s Grammy-nominated recording of Stravinsky’s “Pul-chinella” with Pierre Boulez and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra was recently released on the CSO Resound label.

In 2006 he was the recipient of a Sullivan Foundation Award and in 2004 received the Rich-ard F. Gold Career Grant from the Shoshana Foundation.

Volunteers sought to help county’s 4-H program grow As Polk County 4-H youth

finish up summer programs and get ready to go back to school, volunteers are being sought to help guide and mentor Polk County’s future citizens and leaders.

People volunteer with 4-H for many reasons. One benefit is to help make a difference in the lives of youth. Volunteers personally develop new leader-ship skills, make new friends, and have great experiences.

As one volunteer stated, “I always learn more about a topic as I am preparing to teach it to the kids. 4-H gives me the chance to share some of my passions with children. I enjoy the connection with N. C. State University and the up-to-date information they provide.”

Through the Polk County Cooperative Extension Ser-vice, adult volunteers receive training in issues facing youth, how to teach, how to organize a group or event and a variety of life skill and subject matter topics.

With the help of volunteers, youth develop their own lead-ership skills as demonstrated through working or volunteer-ing in their community to ad-dress a community need.

4-H is the nation’s largest youth organization with more the six million members nation-ally. Please consider joining us.

Polk County 4-H is actively recruiting enthusiastic parents, grandparents, neighbors, com-munity leaders and other older youth and adults who enjoy working with young people and want to give back to their community.

There is a wide array of op-portunities to become involved. Remember, no previous experi-ence is necessary. As a volun-teer you will receive additional training to prepare you for your leadership experience. Just bring your desire to learn and have fun.

For more information and resources to help you prepare for your volunteer role, please contact your Extension 4-H office at 828-894-8218 and ask for Helen Clark, county 4-H program assistant.
