The idea of being able to legally trap furbearers in Polk County has upset many who see the practice as inhumane while many others say it’s the logical solution for nuisance animals.

The Polk County Board of

Commissioners heard from both sides during a meeting on Mon-day, Feb. 4 with a standing room only crowd where spectators had to stand along three walls of the room.

Commissioners approved sending a resolution to state

legislators on Jan. 7 asking that Polk be included in the counties legally allowed to trap furbear-ers. Since the decision, a petition against trapping has circled the county with most of the residents

Editor’s note:When the Bulletin published its annual Year in Review articles

a person of note was inadvertently left out of our In Memoriam sections. Charles G. Smith passed away Monday, July 30, 2011 and is undoubtedly missed by those who knew and loved him. Smith was a prominent businessman in his day, owning the former Gulf Service Station and Tryon Exxon among other businesses. He is survived by his wife, Emily Reneau Smith, and family.

OBITUARIESGeorge McCoy Lanning, Jr., p. 7

Representatives of Polk County government had the honor of meeting with Con-gressman Patrick McHenry on Wednesday, Jan. 30.

Congressman McHenry is serving his fifth term in the United States Congress repre-senting the citizens of North Carolina’s 10th District.

This district is comprised of seven counties in western North Carol ina, including Polk, which was included in the 10th District after the state’s redistricting plan last year.

Polk was previously in Dis-trict 11 under then Congress-man Heath Shuler.

When he sat down with county and town officials he wanted to discuss the effect the new health care law and immigration policy will have on local jurisdictions and the

citizens they serve. He wanted to make them

aware of the extra costs they and the citizens may incur due

to these new policies. Congressman McHenry said

he likes to touch base with community leaders and offered

to serve as a liaison for the Polk County Veteran Affair’s Office.

attending Monday’s meeting be-ing against the board’s action.

Polk County’s N.C. Wildlife Resource Officer Toby Jenkins began with an overview of the law, saying it was created in 1975 when the coyote and beaver populations were pretty much nonexistent.

Jenkins said a lot of people think of traps as the large ones with jaws and they see graphic pictures on the Internet of ani-mals harmed.

“That’s not the case today,” Jenkins said. “In western North Carolina and other parts of the state the otter would be nonexis-tent if it weren’t for those traps.”

Jenkins also said what people don’t realize is that the current law prohibits steel traps off your property, so organizations like Po’ Kitties aren’t legal under the law.

Jenkins also discussed the restrictions on traps, including that someone has to obtain a trapping license, which is $25. A trapper has to have written permission in order to trap on someone else’s property and leg traps for coyotes are made so the

animal can’t jerk and injure their leg, Jenkins said.

“A lot of people think there’s going to be traps everywhere,” said Jenkins. “That’s not the case.”

He said there are currently two trappers in Polk County, say-ing most people don’t know how to trap and it’s become a lost art.

He said he hasn’t had any problems with pets getting caught in traps but in 2009-2010 there was $2.6 million worth of damage from beavers in the state.

“By passing that law you’re going to assist farmers that have problems with livestock,” Jenkins said.

He said he’s seen sheep, hors-es and all kinds of pets attacked by coyotes in Polk County.

Trappers are also required to place their name and address on the traps and check them every 24 hours with Jenkins saying he spends lots of hours watching traps and if they don’t check them within 24 hours he gives them a ticket.

Kaye Cannon was the first speaker and said trapping is inhumane.

The Burklow’s and others filled the Womack building to speak to the commission’s decision to ask legislators to allow the legal trapping of furbearers within Polk County among other topics. (photo by Leah Justice)

• Trapping(Continued From page 1)


“Not to mention the suffer-ing the animal goes through in the time they are waiting for the trapper to come and kill them,” Cannon said.

She said she knows officers try but there’s just not enough of them to ensure traps are checked every 24 hours. She also said trapping is indiscriminate, al-lowing untargeted animals to get trapped.

“No living thing deserves to be tortured to death,” Cannon said. “Killing and trapping is not going to stop rabies.”

She said there are different ways to accomplish the same end and encouraged people not to give up.

Brenda Brock said making it legal opens the county up for illegal trapping. She questioned how they determine the 24 hours asking if there is a timer on the traps.

“It’s not an issue of killing, it’s a humane issue,” Brock said. “We have to consider what we’re doing to animals. It reflects how we interact to other people. Anyone who is willing to trap an animal and keep them in a trap is inhumane.”

She said a dog will chew their leg off just as other animals will to get out of a trap. She said the state may have more humane traps but all anyone has to do is walk through a flea market to know others exist.

She also said she thinks part of what’s driving this is money.

“If you’ve got a heart in there at all you would seriously reconsider,” Brock said. “There are too many options out there that we don’t need to be maiming and killing.”

Jeanette Larson said in 1975 a law was passed making trapping illegal and over 35 years later the county wants to reintroduce it?

“How progressive is that?” she asked.

Larson also said from the in-formation she has received there has been three confirmed rabies cases in Polk County over the

last year so she doesn’t think the county should inject rabies as a reason to allow trapping.

“Let us remember they are all God’s living creatures,” Larson said.

Emmy Summers who started the petition against trapping said as of Sunday night it had received 13,302 signatures.

“Let’s be clear, they weren’t all from Polk County,” she said.

There were probably about 232 signatures from Polk resi-dents, Summers said.

“I believe the majority of our citizens want a humane commu-nity,” Summers said. “I’d like to see the resolution be temporarily withdrawn and tabled and a com-mittee formed from all sides.”

She said she sees no reason to rush and the committee could be made up of trappers, residents interested in not trapping and those who are interested in other ways to handle the problems.

“I would like to see us have the opportunity to educate our-selves and be more of an inte-grated community,” said Sum-mers. “I don’t want it to be us and them.”

Deon Dunn said he’s for trap-ping and he’s baffled by how many people are about protect-ing animal rights when most voted for a president who is for abortion. He said his concern is the hypocrisy in the room for animal rights and not looking out for human rights.

Nancy Pemberton said she is more mortified after hearing some of the information during the meeting; especially, when she hears that someone only gets a ticket for not checking a trap line, she said.

“A ticket?” she said.Pemberton asked how many

coyotes have attacked children.

One, she said. How many dogs have attacked children, she asked.

Thank God they can’t trap dogs, she said.

Retired wildlife officer John Blanton said the county’s deci-sion to ask for the law to be changed was the right decision.

He said a lot of people don’t understand that House Bill 744 allows people to trap now on their own property or leased property.

“Trapping is going on right now,” Blanton said. “These hor-ror stories aren’t happening.”

He said the wildlife biologists have gone to school and studied wildlife management and by al-lowing Polk County to return to the state trapping law he thinks they should be the ones making the decisions that are better for the whole state.

George Lanning Jr. George McCoy Lanning Jr.,

59, of Columbus, died unexpect-edly Saturday February 2, 2013, at his home.

Forest Lawn Funeral Home in Hendersonville is assisting the family with the arrangements.

of the Polk County Department of Social Services (DSS) and June Beddingfield of Polk Fit, Fresh and Friendly (PF3).

The 2-1-1 system is an easy-to-remember telephone number that connects people with information about the health and human services available in their area. It is a joint venture being put forward by Polk Fit, Fresh and Friendly in collaboration with Polk County DSS and is a result of a “Gaps in Health Care Services” study completed in 2003 and additional needs assessments conducted in 2008 and 2011.

Each study indicated that all too often, it is difficult for Polk County citizens to find out about the services that are available for them.

Currently, someone needing information about a service might call DSS, the sheriff’s office or even 9-1-1. Each of these sources might have some, but not all, of the information available. In many cases the information they have might also not be updated since resources frequently change.

The 2-1-1 system provides multi-lingual information and referral services 24 hours a day, seven days a week by specialists who are trained not only to respond to specific questions but also to explore other options available.

Thi s s e rv i ce i s a l r eady available in parts of western North Carolina, and Polk County is eligible to enroll. Polk Fit, Fresh and Friendly is currently seeking community partners to assist with the funding of this

program, which is approximately $5,500 a year.

Members of the Lions Club expressed support for 2-1-1, especially since the services offered by the club, such as lending medical equipment to citizens, may not be known by people who need the service.

Pat Wilson brought pictures of a beaver pond and spoke of eight acres of marketable timber that was destroyed.

“This person has lost $20,000 of marketable timber,” Wilson said.

He also mentioned a friend

whose calf and cow were at-tacked by a coyote.

Wilson said trapping is the fastest way to get these critters under control.

Commissioners did not dis-cuss the resolution following the comments. The resolution, approved unanimously by com-missioners on Jan. 7 is currently with state legislators.

YoursLegal trapping of furbearers in the hands of state legislators

Though a crowd of Polk County residents flooded the Womack building in Columbus Monday night to voice their opinions both for and against legal trapping in our area, the decision now is in the hands of state legislators.

Co-sponsors Chris Whitmire, Mike Hager, Tim Moore and Kelly E. Hastings filed House Bill 33 on Thursday, Jan. 31. The bill states that it is an act to repeal the law prohibiting the set-ting of steel traps on rented or leased land in Cleveland, Polk and Rutherford counties. As of Feb. 4 the bill had passed its first reading.

With more then 230 Polk County individuals signing a peti-tion against the move, there is obviously some push back on commissioner’s decision in early January to request the action. There isn’t however a consensus that a majority of Polk County residents are either for or against the change. We’ve heard com-pelling arguments from both sides and have found ourselves somewhat better educated on the subject.

Destruction of property and the killing of livestock is on the brains of some landowners who feel beavers damage timber and coyotes kill animals such as poultry. Others are concerned for the treatment of these animals they feel will be tortured by the devices used in trapping. Regardless of where you stand on the issue you have an opportunity now to have a voice in whether or not trapping is once again allowed in our county.

You can reach state legislators about the issue in the follow-ing ways:

Letter to the Editor

Gun control a fool’s errand

Few reform attempts in America appear to have as little chance for meaningful change as gun control and immigration.

Both seem fated to fail, and, except for political posturing, perhaps even pointless. In this sense, they are fool’s errands. It little matters that mass murders like the ones at Sandy Hook in Connecticut, at Columbine and Aurora in Colorado and Virginia Tech now almost routinely oc-cur or that hundreds have been killed by gun violence since Christmas.

When President Obama solemnly intoned that the day of the Sandy Hook massacre was the worst of his Presidency or declared, “It is time to do the right thing,” many agreed yet realized that nothing of significance would be done. But why?

First, don’t blame the NRA, their lobby or gun owners in general.

In truth, they defiantly and righteously defend their position as if it were Bunker Hill and “the Feds” instead of the British were coming for their weapons. Even as you read this, know that 39 states have no plans for new weapons restrictions while only 11 might consider any.

In fact, more states will fo-cus on better school safety or on mental health programs, all “warm fuzzy” issues designed to distract and detour from more fundamental changes.

Although the divide among states neatly falls into blue and red colors, Democrats and Republicans, that, too, means practically nothing. Still, lis-

ten to the arguments against any attempts to regulate guns and you’ll understand why it, along with immigration, won’t undergo any significant change.

Despite all the moral reason-ing and pleas to “do something” now, any reform movement in American history must have some sort of legal basis in order to succeed. That can come from the Supreme Court, a Constitu-tional amendment, a Presidential decree, or Congressional legisla-tion, but it must accompany any reform attempt.

As long as fringe groups like the NRA and its rabid supporters have the shield of the Second Amendment, mass murders, gun

violence and senseless killings will continue even as a few necessary but nugatory laws make their way into state and federal law.

Background checks? Limit-ing magazines to a zillion rounds or so? Despite some token op-position, such laws remain no problem for the NRA just so long as that “birthright” in the Second Amendment holds up. That’s their greatest fear.

The NRA and its support-ers dread a case on the Second Amendment and an individual’s right to bear arms. That’s why they preemptively remind us of their “right” and of the Court’s backing even though both have never been thoroughly legally examined, only asserted.

Warren Burger, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and certainly no liberal, even went so far as to posit that the interpretation of the Second Amendment to support an indi-vidual’s right to bear any kind of weapon short of an atomic bomb

was one of the greatest constitu-tional frauds ever perpetrated on Americans. Yet even another consequence seems more forebod-ing.

For example, what would happen if “il-legal immigration,” one word to many Americans, became

“legal” because of a practical path to citizenship and “legal” gun ownership became illegal because of a Supreme Court decision?

Think of what that would mean politically and so-cially for America. That thought really drives the debate on

gun control and immigration. – Milton Ready, Tryon

Comments made via our website www.tryondailybulletin.com

Tryon Daily Bulletin post-ed the article titled: “Dairy goat workshop at Emerald Springs Farm”

Bea Elliot replied: “That’s wonderful that these goats are recognized as “intelligent” and “social.” Just wondering though… What happens to the male goats since they cannot be “productive” in the course of being milked?

And what happens to the female goats when they no longer can have babies that trigger the mammary chore of baby feeding?

Are they allowed to live out the rest of their lives or are they “disposed” of?

Point is humans do not need goat’s milk any more than they need cow’s milk, wolf’s milk, camel’s milk, giraffe’s milk. Unweaned infants do

remarkably better on their own mother’s breast milk which is what our species was intended to consume. There’s absolutely nothing beneficial to the human diet in cow’s milk that can’t be gotten through plant based sources.

Thankfully there’s abundant plant based alternatives that are just as nutritional, just as satisfying and just as versatile in cooking. Some even have twice the amount of calcium and vitamin D as cow’s milk does.

Dairy is also destructive to the environment and a tragic waste of resources. Perhaps it is time for “unweaned” adults to look beyond what decep-tiveness and hype the dairy industry is pitching at you in order to keep their profits and their cruel practices in check.

The search is on for North Caro-lina’s outstanding senior volunteer.

The Salute to Senior Service program honors the contributions of adults 65 and older who give at least 15 hours a month of volunteer service to their favorite causes.

Nominations for outstanding senior volunteers will be accepted between Feb. 1 and March 31. State winners then will be selected by popular vote at SalutetoSe-niorService.com. Online voting will take place from April 15 to April 30. From those state winners, a panel of senior care experts will

pick the national Salute to Senior Service honoree.

Home Instead Inc. will donate $500 to each of the state winners’ favorite nonprofit organizations and their stories will be posted on the Salute to Senior Service Wall of Fame. In addition, $5,000 will be donated to the national winner’s nonprofit charity of choice.

“We all know seniors who do so much for our community,” said Steven Coleman, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office serving Buncombe, Henderson, Transylvania, Polk and Haywood

Counties. “These silent heroes give selflessly, expecting nothing in return. And yet, their contributions often make a difference not only to the organizations they serve, but in changing how the public views growing older.”

Senior care professionals and those who work at hospitals, senior care facilities and other places where seniors volunteer are encouraged to nominate older adults. So, too, are family caregiv-ers and the adult children of aging parents. Older adults also may self-nominate.

To complete and submit a nomination form online for a senior age 65 or older who volunteers at least 15 hours a month, and to view the contest’s official rules, visit SalutetoSeniorService.com. Completed nomination forms also can be mailed to Salute to Senior Service, P.O. Box 285, Bellevue, N.E. 68005.

For more information about Sa-lute to Senior Service or the Home Instead Senior Care network’s services, call 828-274-4406.

Dr. Robin Owings spoke to the Kiwanis Club of Tryon on Wednesday, Jan. 30. Owings talked to the club about the benefits of seeking chiropractic care as well as a brief overview of the Seven Step Challenge, which encourages individuals to focus on activities to improve their lives such as drinking more water, getting the proper rest, balancing their time and exercising.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet on Sunday, Feb. 10 at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176N at 10:30 a.m.

The speaker will be Reverend Jean Rowe who will speak on the topic “The Deepest Words I Never Heard.”

“As I was finishing a sabbatical fellowship semester at Harvard Divinity School 23 years ago, I began a dialog with God/Buddha/The Christ/my deepest self. Over the next four months I received a series of seven words to live by. At the time I felt they were conversations with God. Yet when I “asked” during these conversations what or who was speaking, the answers varied. Sometimes i t was God, but sometimes it was Christ/Buddha.

I put the either/or symbol in because I once asked if they were one and the same spirit. The answer I got was “yes,” that The Buddha and The Christ are one and the same spiritual presence,” Rowe said.

West led the Spade King against your 5 Club contract. I know your upset with me for not showing all 4 hands, but to

solve this hand you don’t need to see the opponents cards (that’s a hint).

At first glance it’s evident that there are finesse situations in both the Heart and Club suits that need to be addressed if your going to make your contract.

If you’re a regular reader of my column you know how I try to avoid taking finesses. However, in this hand you must finesse in order to have any chance for success. But if you must finesse you should examine if all finesses are equal.

With that second hint as a backstop, how would you play this hand to virtually guarantee success.

Although there are a number of finesses which are available, only one particular finesse can virtually guarantee your making 5 Clubs. After winning the opening lead with Ace of Spades, all you have to do is immediately finesse against the Jack of Clubs through West.

If East wins the trick with either the Jack or the Ace he can’t attack Hearts profitably. Declarer wins any return and draws trumps and discards his Heart losers on dummy’s Diamond suit.

The key lesson in this hand is that when you are presented with multiple finesse options, you must examine each possibility with it’s potential results if it loses.

It then becomes a matter of choosing the finesse which gives you the highest chance for overall success.

Tryon Elementary School fifth-grade students enjoyed a day at Furman University on Saturday, Feb. 2. The students were able to tour the campus and meet with students and student athletes.

Head Baseball Coach Ron Smith also offered an inspirational speech. The focus of his talk was about setting goals, working hard everyday and being resilient. The students were able to see both the men’s and women’s basketball team.

Founded in 1826, Furman University is a private university located in Greenville, S.C. The 750-acre campus features a replica of Henry David Thoreau’s cabin, the David E. Shi Center for Sustainability and a spring-fed lake. The college experience trip is sponsored by a grant through The Polk County Community Foundation.
