match from the town.The grant will completely

fund the cost of a new motorcy-cle and all equipment needed, in-cluding uniform, helmet, radio, lights and siren. The grant also includes funding for training of two officers to become certified. The department currently has two officers with motorcycle licenses.

Beddingfield said the bike will be more of an educational tool for Colum-bus than an en-forcement tool.

“ M o t o r -cycle use has b e e n o n a steady rise for some time and with that in-crease accom-panies a need for safety edu-cation and accident prevention,” Beddingfield said. “Even though the equipment will be used for enforcement activities, the main focus will be education and com-munity relations.”

Beddingfield said he’s spent more time in his life on two wheels than four as he began riding motorcycles at age four.

“Motorcycling is not just a hobby for me, it’s a lifestyle,” he said.

His father was into drag rac-ing, which led to a mini-bike and a small, oval dirt track in Beddingfield’s back yard.

“I couldn’t even touch the ground [on my first bike],” Beddingfield said. “My parents would hold the bike until I got it cranked and rolling and I would stop and put the kick stand out and let the bike fall over on the stand when I was done.”

Beddingfield rode a motor-cycle almost every day when he was very young, and when he was tall enough got into motocross-style bikes. The fam-ily turned the backyard track into a figure-eight-style dirt track.

Until Beddingfield was about

16 years old, he raced moto-cross all over North and South Carolina.

Then he became interested in sport/ninja-type motorcyles for several years, but in his early 20s, Beddingfield went back to motocross racing and won several championships.

“I wouldn’t trade those times for anything,” Beddingfield said. “I got to travel and race all over the eastern U.S., meeting tons of people and friends that I still have contact with today.”

B e d d i n g -field still at-tends national motocross rac-es as a specta-tor and follows the sport.

His interest in racing and street riding more recently has brought him to orga-n i z e d t r a c k

days, where drivers race the clock instead of other racers. About seven years ago, Bedding-field purchased a used Yamaha R6 road race bike. He obtained his road-racing license and he still participates in track days on a regular basis. He said he hopes to become quick enough to be competitive on the amateur road racing scene.

“I have been injured and seen many injuries and even fatalities occur on motorcycles,” Beddingfield said. “Today many people have never ridden a mo-torcycle and will go purchase the biggest most powerful bike you can buy, take no training and then crash and wonder why.”

Beddingfield said he firmly believes the key to keeping mo-torcycle drivers safe is through education and training.

“What better way for me to contribute than through this governor’s highway safety pro-gram,” he said.

The town will likely not pur-chase the new bike until next spring when warmer weather arrives.

Columbus approves Foster Creek agreement by 3-2 voteby Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus ap-proved a development agree-ment with Foster Creek Preserve last week, but not without a lengthy discussion and a split vote.

Mayor Eric McIntyre had to break a tie vote on Thursday, Sept. 15, following “yes” votes from council members Michael Gage and Richard Hall and “no” votes from Ernie Kan and Mar-garet Metcalf.

Metcalf and Kan expressed several concerns about the agreement prior to the vote. Metcalf said she feels the devel-opment is getting what it wants, but Columbus’ benefits may take many years to see. She particu-larly questioned the timing of the development installing a water line along Hwy. 108. Foster Creek Project Manager Scott Kilby said he hopes the line will be installed in a timely fashion, but there are no guarantees when the development will be ready to install the line.

The development agreement places a $500,000 cap on the cost of the water line with trig-gers as to when the line must be installed depending on lot development.

“I just think it puts Colum-bus on hold for the water line,” Metcalf said.

Foster Creek attorney Allen Peterson said there is no obliga-tion in the agreement for the town to pay for the water line.

“I think we’re saying we’re not going to commit to the cost of a water line beyond $500,000,” said Peterson. “We don’t know what that cost is, but based on estimates the town has received it’s considerably lower.”

Others on Columbus Town Council said they see many ben-efits for the town and approved the agreement. Most notably, the town will own the water and sewer lines to the development, Foster Creek is agreeing to pay

for a police officer for two years and a new police vehicle, to con-struct an emergency operations center on site with a generator and to give the town a water storage tank.

“The tank is important to me because it’s a perk for the town,” Gage said. “It will give us the opportunity to service our other tank, which will be needed down the road.”

Hall also said he thinks the agreement benefits the town.

“I haven’t been convinced that all this hard work so many have put into this (agreement) does not benefit the town,” Hall said.

Peterson said the benefits of the development agreement to the developers are related to the design of the project.

“In order to justify those costs, you need to know that the land use ordinances aren’t going to change,” said Peterson. “The benefit to the town is that you want this development to go in over 20 years. You don’t want it to go in in three years to mini-mize the impact of the develop-ment, minimize the planning and the impact to town services.”

The agreement approved is for 20 years with both parties agreeing to review it annually and make amendments if both parties agree to the amendments.

Foster Creek, owned by For-est City Land Group is a planned 687-dwelling-unit subdivision, located on 1,065 acres off Hous-ton Road and Hwy. 108. The town approved the master plan in 2009 and approved a special use permit in 2010. The town has been working with Foster Creek on the development agreement for more than a year.

Depending on the timing of state and federal approvals, infrastructure improvements, lot sales and approximately 100 lots are planned to be devel-oped between 2012 and 2014. Lot development is expected to continue until 2030.

On Sunday mornings I normally head out for church at 7 a.m. My usual route takes me up Trade Street toward Greater Downtown Tryon, where just before I turn left at Side Street Pizza onto Mc-Cown Street I can see Tryon Peak rising above the busi-ness district skyline.

However, one recent Sun-day morning the entire moun-tain was completely encased in a bank of grey clouds tinged red by the early morning sun. There was no mountain, no Tryon Peak to be seen. The question came to mind, “If I cannot see it, is it really still there?”

That is often the funda-mental question of faith. “If I cannot see, feel or hear God directly and personally, is

God still there?”In the gospels, Jesus talks

about faith as something aris-ing from within a person that reaches out for the holy even when the circumstances make faith illogical or problematic.

A woman hopefully touch-es the hem of his robe and she is cured. A paralytic is lowered by friends through the roof to be healed, but it is the faith of the friends and not the paralytic which brings about a cure.

Jesus healed two blind men and told them it was “accord-ing to your faith.”

Faith is an active enterprise of the heart, soul and mind reaching out to God. It is not a commodity. Often we pas-tors hear such things as, “Oh, if I had more faith [fill in the

blank] would be better,” as if faith is some kind of coinage we exchange for God’s favor and good will.

But Jesus emphatically denies this when he says to his disciples who ask him, “Increase our faith." The Lord replied, "If you had faith the size of a mustard seed, you could say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.” (Luke 17:5-6)

Faith is therefore a living action rooted in God’s power and not our own.

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

That means our mustard seed bit of faith is God’s assurance to us of God’s presence and active good will toward us even when we

cannot perceive it. It is our perseverance of being open to God, even when it doesn’t seem to make sense, or when our human need for hard proof of God’s benevolence tries to turn us away from faith.

When I did not see Tryon Peak that morning I could have reacted in any num-ber of ways. I could have believed the mountain was gone because I could not see it. I could have stopped and waited for the clouds to pass to be absolutely sure it was still there. I could have simply gone about my day knowing that mountains don’t disap-pear overnight; that having seen it before I could trust that it is still there; that it would soon reappear in all its glory; and that all I had to have was a tiny bit of faith that those things were true. I chose the

third option.I learned this lesson as a

child from my dad, a life-long Baptist deacon. One day when we were hunting the beagles ran across a hill after a rab-bit and soon they were out of earshot. Not knowing where they were, I started to panic, but Dad said, “Have a little faith, son. Just because you can’t see them or hear them don’t mean they’re gone.”

So we stood quietly in the field and listened. Soon, to my surprise and delight, the whole pack came barreling over a hill from an entirely different direction than we expected.

Sometimes God does that, too, when we are willing to have a little faith.

Polk volleyball overpowers Owen, now 6-0 in conferenceby Daniel Hecht

The Lady Wolverines continued their impressive roll through the Western Highlands Conference Tuesday afternoon, handily dis-patching the visiting Owen War-lassies in three games by scores of 25-19, 25-19 and 25-13.

The victory, the sixth in a row in conference matches, pre-serves Polk’s un-blemished con-ference record, and serves notice, in no uncertain terms, that the road to the WHC title this season will run directly through Polk County.

Maggie Phipps owned the net with 14 kills for the Lady Wol-verines, while junior team captain Savannah Deaver added another eight. Kara Overholt and Shalyn Brown dominated the defensive game with 13 digs between them, and Overholt led the assists cat-egory with 26.

Katie Ruff and Chelsea Kelly each notched four aces to complete the sweep over the visitors from Black Mountain.

Freshman setter Overholt now has 374 assists on the season along with 53 digs and leads the team in serving points.

“As a freshman, Kara is doing an outstanding job filling the setting role,” said head coach Heather Claussen. “She has a natural sense about the game, and leaves

nothing behind when all is said and done. She will continue to do well because of her dedication and strong work ethic.”

The victory runs Polk’s record to 10-5 overall and a perfect 6-0 in the conference, and sets the stagefor a huge showdown this afternoon, as the Lady Wolverines travel to Hendersonville to take on the Lady Bearcats, who are also undefeated in conference competition.

Holly Rickett had the magic hand for Landrum on Tuesday, Sept. 20. The Cardinals’ offense sputtered in the early minutes of the first game, but shook it off quickly and took three straight games to beat region foe Blacksburg 3-0 (25-18, 25-21, 25-21).

The Cardi-nals (5-4, 5-2), found their stride with Rickett on serve. Landrum was down 18-15 and Blacksburg senior Malory Sanders was pounding the ball into the Cardinals de-fense, but Kelsey Spicer sent a rocket into the Wildcat defense to give Landrum control.

Rickett stepped to the line and served up 10 straight points, including five aces.

“I tried to stay focused,” the

Landrum’s magic hand beats region foe, Blacksburgsophomore said. “I knew we really needed the points.”

Rickett started off the sec-ond game and served three straight points to give the Car-dinals an early lead. Blacks-burg kept it close, but couldn’t

get ahead. The Cardinals just had too much offense.

Set ter Au-brey Denton, an eighth grad-er, had 18 as-

sists and helped control the game. Carla Bruce led the way for Landrum with six kills. Spicer added five kills.Rebecca Hardin had four kills.

Defensively, Becca Burress had ten digs for the Cardinals.

“My girls seemed to play more together tonight,” Lan-drum coach Denise Riske said. “We’re improving.”

“I tried to stay focused. I knew we really needed the points.”

Mr. Boddy is a dead body in “Clue: the Musical”

Now that’s a good clue. In Tryon Little Theater’s season opener, “Clue: the Musical,” Mr. Boddy is a charming, charismatic and playful host for the evening. But then… dead. He may be a wiz at math, suave and handsome, hospitable and winsome, but he has a special kind of relationship with each of his guests that gives them a motive to kill him. They want him annihilated, terminated, obliterated. Dead as a doornail. But who has the mettle to do it? Well, you might just have a say in that. Come to the show and see how much influence you have. “Clue: the Musical” runs for two weekends on TLT’s workshop stage at 516 S. Trade St. in Tryon. Playing Sept. 22 - 25 and Sept. 29 – Oct. 2. Box office is open 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Call 828-859-2466 to reserve seats or visit www.tltinfo.org for more information.

‘Steal Away’ as Tryon Fine Arts Center presents a spiritual experience Sept. 24

On Saturday, Sept.24, Tryon Fine Arts Center presents the African-American Spiritual with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra (CSO) Spiritual En-semble.

This 35-member ensemble is the outcome of its sister organization, the CSO Gospel Choir. Both are derived from the Charleston Symphony Or-chestra and focus on the spiri-tual, the voice of generations of African-Americans

Now in its third season, the CSO Spiritual Ensemble strives to honor the devout musical tra-dition that African-Americans formed as slaves after arriving in this country and, in particu-lar, its relevant history in the South Carolina Lowcountry.

Created out of suffering and survival, pain and celebration, spirituals reflect the ingenuity and faith of Africans held in bondage on Southern American shores. Spirituals are a musical form indigenous to the experi-ence of Africans transported as slaves from Africa to America. Songs of protest, pain and celebration, this major musical genre in the history of Ameri-can music was proclaimed the official music of the state of South Carolina by its General Assembly in July of 1999.

Under the direction of Na-than L. Nelson, the CSO Spiri-tual Ensemble will honor the Fisk University Jubilee Singers. In 1871, this nine-member cho-ral ensemble of African-Amer-ican students introduced the spiritual to audiences through-out the United States and the world in an effort to save their university from dire financial straits.

Though the sacred music was initially received with skepti-cism, the emotion, strength, and beauty characteristic of the

spiritual overcame these res-ervations from predominantly white audiences and raised needed funding for the first American university to offer a liberal arts education for men and women of color.

The Jubilee singers have remained active for 140 years, still maintaining a busy perfor-mance schedule.

The single performance of the CSO Spiritual Ensemble at Tryon Fine Arts Center is 7

p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24 and presented with support from TD Bank, N.C. Arts Council and Polk County Community Foundation.

Tickets for the event are available at the TFAC box of-fice Tuesday – Friday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Saturday, 10 a.m. -1 p.m. For more information, please call 828-859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org.
