It’s not all that uncommon for Tryon residents to come across a bear in their yard these days, but one part-time Tryon couple has gotten to know a whole family of bears over the past couple of years.

Harriet and Carlisle Hewitt, who have a home on Melrose Mountain, have become so familiar with a family of five bears that they have given the animals names. The bears frequent their property and their deck. One bear recently damaged their screen door in an attempt to enter the home.

Harriet Hewitt speaks of the family as if they are her children. Carlisle said he has a different opinion, because he is the one who has had to take

Paving of main road in Silver Creek Community scheduled to begin this weekResidents pay for grading workby Leah Justice

Things are looking up in the Silver Creek Community, thanks to actions taken by residents of

the subdivision or neighborhood and reactions from the county and state.

Silver Creek residents heard during a N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) meeting Thursday, Sept. 15 that the pav-

down all their birdfeeders and he is beginning to become fearful of the bears’ level of comfort around humans.

Harriet Hewitt said they began seeing the bear they named Birdie in the fall of 2009. Harriet said she believes Birdie is the mother of Little Bess and Big Bubba and the grandmother of BoBo and BeBe, who are cubs that appeared this year. Birdie’s face looks older, the Hewitts said, so they are sure she is the older of the bears. The Hewitts have not seen Birdie this year, although she was a frequent visitor in 2009 and 2010.

The Hewitts, who reside in Brooksville, Fla., visit their Tryon home frequently.

Kip and Carol Jean Vosburg, who live off Hearthstone Ridge Road in Landrum, also had a visit from a bear earlier this month.

After emptying the Vosburghs’ bird feeder, the bear decided to peek inside their sunroom (see the photo above). The Vosburghs said the bear was easily fright-ened away.

Bear sightings have become increasingly common in South Carolina this year. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recently said more than 200 bear sightings have been reported in Upstate South Carolina so far this year, compared to only 110 sightings

in all of 2010. DNR said it is formulating a

plan to address increased bear sightings in the state. The agency says its goal is to keep the state’s bear population at a level that fits with land-use objectives and ac-ceptable levels of human contact.

DNR says it has no records of bears attacking people in the state, but it reminds residents that feeding bears is illegal and could result in a fine of up to $500.

Polk County Wildlife Officer Toby Jenkins said recently that there has been no significant rise in the number of bear sightings in Polk County this year.

and ditches cleared. Residents also had shelters built for new bus stops within the subdivision. A South Carolina Baptist Men’s group donated money, labor and materials for the shelters, which will be used by children waiting for school buses.

Don Yarbrough, Silver Creek Community second vice-presi-dent, said the new bus stops will be placed at the corners of Bishop Lane and Twin Drive and at

Chimney Rock Road and Hitch-ing Post. The stops are scheduled to begin being used by children in two to three weeks, once some turns are widened to allow school buses to enter, Silver Creek Com-munity residents said.

The DOT meeting last week was held to discuss secondary road maintenance within the county. Silver Creek paving work is not being funded through that state program, but commissioners and residents asked questions and

discussed the project.DOT District Engineer Steve

Cannon said clearing was done a couple of weeks ago in the Silver Creek Community and a construc-tion crew should begin work this week. Cannon said the paving work on Bishop Lane should take about two months to complete.

During the Polk County Board of Commissioners Sept. 6 meeting, the county approved a resolution to add Silver Creek Community’s Winter Drive, Deerfield Drive and Lighthouse Drive to the state’s sec-ondary road maintenance system. Cannon said the state has received those petitions and is moving for-ward with investigating the roads. Cannon told commissioners the process of adding roads to the state’s system normally takes six months to a year, depending on any right-of-way issues.

Winter Drive includes seven homes and is 0.08 miles in length, Deerfield Drive includes six homes and is 0.09 miles long and Light-house Drive includes six homes and is 0.09 miles long.

Yarbrough spoke at the DOT meeting and thanked the state and the county for their help in improv-ing the Silver Creek community.

“It’s gratifying to see the DOT working and cutting down trees,” Yarbrough said. “We’re still a long way from achieving what we want to achieve. We do appreciate it and

just want to thank you.”Formerly known as Land of

Lakes, Silver Creek Community is located off Silver Creek Road in the Mill Spring area. The subdivision consists of 369 parcels and was first established in 1972.

The homeowner’s association disbanded in 2001 and the roads, which had already begun deterio-rating, continued to grow worse.

Residents began a few years ago asking for the state’s help in maintaining the roads, which were so dilapidated and dangerous that school buses could not enter to pick up children.

Residents banded together in 2007 to improve the neighborhood and in 2009 changed the name of the subdivision to the Silver Creek Community because of the bad reputation associated with the name Land of Lakes.

Homeowners began to petition the state three years ago to take over maintenance and have since placed welcome signs in the community, built flower boxes, started regular litter collection days and have gath-ered to fill potholes in roads.

The county joined the effort a few years ago and Sen. Tom Apodaca and Rep. David Guice contributed $75,000 each from their discretionary funds toward the project. The community also quali-fied for state transportation funding.

The first phase of the Silver Creek project is estimated at $250,000 for 1.3 miles of road improvement.

Polk, towns to meet Thursday‘Mill Spring-Columbus’ water line on agendaby Leah Justice

After not meeting for sev-eral months, Polk County and the towns of Columbus, Saluda and Tryon will meet jointly tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 22.

The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. at Columbus Town Hall.

The main item on the agenda is a “Mill Spring-Columbus water line to connect county and Colum-bus Water Department.”

The joint meetings began in

June 2010 and lost momentum last year during the election and holidays. The meetings continued at the beginning of this year, but no meetings have been held since.

The councils of each town and county commissioners have discussed how to work jointly on creating a water authority. In Feb-ruary, the group invited elected of-ficials from the Tuckasegee Water and Sewer Authority to speak on its process of creating a joint system.

Polk, Columbus, Saluda and Tryon have also mentioned work-ing together on other joint issues, such as economic development and tourism.

Landrum election disputes to go to Spartanburg Countyby Samantha Hurst

It’s been a long time since Lan-drum has had any serious dispute over election results, according to city clerk Bunny Brelsford.

But this year, if an issue arises with regard to votes, the complaint must go to the county election commission, not a local com-mission.

Mayor Robert Briggs brought up the possibility of handing over election disputes to Spartanburg County at the last city council

meeting held Tuesday, Sept. 13.“Because election commis-

sions are now being required to have more formal training, many counties including Spartanburg are taking on the role of running elections for towns,” Briggs said.

The additional training, Brels-ford said, would also mean ad-ditional funds out of the city coffers because the city would have to foot the bill for citizens on the commission to participate in added training sessions.

She said it was difficult enough to get volunteers for the commis-sion.

“It’s one of those things that would be easier for the county to do it,” Brelsford said. “Before, if you had a problem you’d have to line up three people willing to give their time and often take off work to settle an issue. There aren’t many people willing to do that anymore.”

Spartanburg County already has a strong role in local elec-

tions. Currently, the city clerk provides the list of candidates to the county, which then creates the ballots and counts the votes for the city.

The council agreed handing things over to the county elec-tions commission would be a good move and unanimously approved the change Tuesday, Sept. 14.

The county elections com-mission will step in beginning in November should election disputes arise.

Seeing benefits of census Saluda city leaders believe they could soon see the benefit

of efforts to complete an accurate profile for the town during the 2010 U.S. Census.

City leaders took a proactive approach to getting each head in town counted by enrolling in the census early estimation. This allowed town employees to count homes and fill in blanks from documents in 2000.

What Saluda discovered was that the city had been miss-ing out on tax dollars generated by an additional 100-plus people. For a city the size of Saluda this could add up to a lot of money over a decade - according to Mayor Baisden it might even amount to more than $100,000.

In a time when towns and cities are increasingly strapped for cash to fund services - Saluda hiked taxes by 10 cents this year and garbage rates by three percent - acquiring an accurate count of residents becomes even more important.

Though it will be another decade down the road before another census count rolls around, we hope people see this as an example of why it is important to make sure every person is accounted for in a town.

After all, if you are going to spend your hard-earned dollars locally, wouldn’t you prefer that tax money also be redistrib-uted back to your hometown?

Letters to the Editor

What’s really badTo the Editor:On Sept. 14, the Bulletin ran

a letter from Stuart R. Goldstein, which included a long quotation from Thomas Jefferson.

Jefferson seems to be quoted quite a lot lately, usually to support view-points that government is bad, anything paid for by taxes is unwar-ranted and wasteful, and industries and corpora-tions should be freed from regulatory oversight because they surely have only the interests of American citizens at heart and we’re just preventing them from fully show-ing that. I recently received a chain email along those lines that included a collection of Jefferson quotes.

At the very bottom of that long list was a quote I had never seen before and which I found to be quite differ-ent from most of the Jefferson quotes being bandied about today:

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property – until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

– Thomas Jefferson, 1802We’ve all been hearing how dis-

trustful Jefferson was of the power

of government and its potential to do harm to the regular citizenry. No argument there.

But I thought your readers would be interested to know that Jefferson also reserved some of his distrust for financial institutions and corporations.

Recent history suggests he was right about this, as well.

Incidentally, the above quote came dur-ing the second year of Jefferson’s presidency, following some 30 years as an elected official at

state and federal levels beginning at the age of 25 – what some might call a “career politician.”

Mr. Goldstein wrote that today’s career politician arrives in Washington and “learns where the money and power really are and determines how to get more of both.”

Mr. Goldstein didn’t say “where the money and power really are,” but one good guess would be with corporate/industry leaders and their lobbyists, all of whom would benefit by swaying legislation one way or another.

Unlike Mr. Goldstein, I don’t believe that either politicians or cor-porate leaders are “all bad” or “all good.” What’s really bad is when the worst members of those two power-ful groups collude with each other for their own mutual benefit at the expense – in all senses of the word – of the rest of us.

- Judy Heinrich, Green Creek

Letters to the Editor

Scofield and House of Flags

To the Editor:The following tidbit,

listed in the House of Flags’ website, was over-looked in the House of Flags article in the Friday, Sept. 16 Bul-letin: “The House of Flags Museum was founded on 8 Sept. 2001 by George Sco-

field & VFW Post 9116, Columbus….”I personally saw the labor of

love George gave to this cause from 2001(and probably for many years preceding 2001) until his death. I’m sure omitting his name was an unfortunate over-

sight. He certainly deserved an honor-able mention in the article.

America’s greatnessTo the Editor:I can see the sage of Birdland

as Obama’s Rationing Czar. Share resources equally.

Ten gallons of gas per month – no one can have more until everyone can have 11. Nine hundred gallons of water per month – no more until everyone can have nine hundred and one. Electricity – 9 kw. per month. Businesses included.

No computer upgrades until everyone gets one. Tokens for three ounces of steak per month – to be traded by vegetarians at farmer’s markets. Two rolls of toilet paper per person per year – maybe a little slack for women,

just a little, though. Granted, his argument about

overpaid execs, also athletes and showbiz people; these are a small minority. Limit their incomes to $100,000, I say. Or, Tome, works at KFC and makes $15,000 and Ron, an entrepreneur, makes $85,000 running his business that employs 20 people. Fair is fair. Each should have $50,000. That sounds very much like, “… each according to his need.” That’s been tried and failed. Striving for a better lifestyle is what drives prosperity.

Classes, lower, middle and upper, are fluid designations. Fig-ures show much crossing from one to another over a generation. This is America’s greatness that the whole world recognizes.

- Bob Neubauer

Private propertyTo the Editor:This is in response to Don

Weathington’s Sept. 9, 2011 col-umn “Conversation from Bird-land” entitled “Resources 101.”

Our nation was conceived in liberty and dedicated to justice for all. Our nation thus founded jealously guarded and protected private property rights. The right to private property is the foun-dation of every right we have, including the right to be free and to have free use of one’s private property.

Mr. Weathington’s notions and surmisings have the effect to severely limit if not outright destroy private property rights in our country. A person’s posses-sions – included in this is their money – they should have free use of it with no threat that it be

taken from them in a free society. Otherwise there is no incentive to excel, to start businesses, hire people, actively participate in commerce and overall improve the lot of everyone.

This is why communism and all totalitarian regimes ultimately fail in that all the people are re-duced to a situation where they share a common misery. This is where redistribution of wealth leads.

As it has been said, “You soon run out of other people’s money.” The government cannot spend money more wisely than those who should have free use of their private property.

I would encourage the read-ers to take a look at the Sept. 14, 2011 letter to the editor on pages 8 - 9 of the Bulletin by Stuart R. Goldstein. This is a well-written rebuttal to Mr. Weathington’s “Resources 101” column.

Saluda police officers to get new enforcement tools by Samantha Hurst

Saluda police officers will soon have more law enforce-ment tools within reach after the Saluda Board of Commis-sioners voted Monday, Sept. 12 to approve the purchase of additional equipment for the department.

Four new stop sticks, four alcohol sensors and four tas-ers amounted to a total pur-chase price of $7,365.

Chief James Cantrell said he was asking for four of each item so that when an officer

gets in his or her vehicle, they know the equipment they need is inside.

He said the alcohol sensors in particular come in handy.

“If we think that someone is intoxicated enough to ar-rest them and we arrest them and take them down to Polk County and find out they have not had enough to drink to be arrested, we are looking at a possible lawsuit for false ar-rest,” Cantrell said.

The alcohol sensors give officers a rough estimate of

alcohol levels on an individ-ual’s breath. Commissioner Johnny Kinard said the cur-rent alcohol sensor was at the department 15 years ago.

Meanwhile, other equip-ment, such as the lone taser owned by the department, is also far beyond outdated.

“The tasers that we have now are over six years, go-ing on seven years old and the recommendation from the company is that these be replaced every four years,” said Kinard.

Kinard moved that the request be approved, Sweet seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.

“The tasers that we have now are over six years, going on seven years old and the recommendation from the company is that these be replaced every four years.”

TLT’s ‘Clue: the Musical’ opens tomorrow, Sept. 23“Clue: the Musical” opens Thursday night at

Tryon Little Theater’s (TLT) Workshop. Based on the Parker Brothers board game, CLUE,

the colorful and quirky characters in this show will invite the audience to help solve the mystery of who killed Mr. Boddy.

Director Debbie Craig-Archer and musical di-rector Ben Chumley, both from Spartanburg, S.C., bring with them years of experience in theater arts; local artists and crew have transformed the black box theater into a magical game-board; and the colorful cast of zany characters are ready to conspire and contrive.

And the audience will help solve the mystery of who dunnit, where they did it, and with what: the candlestick or the gun; the rope or lead pipe; the wrench or the knife? And get this, there are 216 possible endings.

“Clue: the Musical” runs for two weekends, Sept. 22 - 25 and Sept. 29 – Oct. 2 at TLT’s Workshop, 516 S. Trade St. in Tryon. The box office is open 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., Monday through Saturday. Call 828-859-2466 to reserve tickets, or visit www.tltinfo.org for more information.

Sifting the clues in ‘Clue’Sleuthing her way through clues could be difficult in high heels, but someone has to do it. And this hard-nosed gumshoe is flat-footed enough to take on the job of who killed Mr. Boddy. Professor Plum thinks he can charm her, but she lets the air out of his pomposity pretty promptly. You don’t mess with this lady! Since she’s been in education, written for the press and run her own marketing company, this little chicky knows all the tricks. But can she solve the mystery of who dunnit, with what and where? You’ll only find out if you come and put your backside on a theater seat. “Clue: the Musical,” Tryon Little Theater’s season opener, opens Thursday, Sept. 23. (photo by Lorin Browning)
