Silver Creek Community residents ask for noise ordinance

Planning board to consider in Juneby Leah Justice

Several Silver Creek Communi-ty residents have asked Polk County to create a noise ordinance due to

excessive noise from guns, cars and music within the subdivision.

About a dozen residents at-tended the Polk County Planning Board meeting held Thursday, May 9 saying they have neighbors shooting guns all through the night

and revving engines. A petition with approximately 30 signatures was also presented to the planning board from residents who were unable to attend the meeting.


The littlest acolyteby Samantha Hurst

Ivan Cunningham doesn’t fuss as his aunt Angela gets him ready for church on Sun-day mornings. He doesn’t grumble as she wakes him or complain when Father Walter Bryan picks him up.

No, Ivan knows the con-gregation of Tryon’s Good Shepherd Episcopal Church relies on him.

“He excitedly tells me on Friday, ‘Man, I’ve only got two more days until church on Sunday,’” Angela Cunningham said.

Five-year-old Ivan serves as the acolyte at Tryon’s Good Shepherd Episcopal Church.

CORRECTION:The Bulletin’s article, “Michael Kocher named National Champion at Cacchione Cup” should have read that Kocher won reserve National Champion at the Intercollegiate Horse Show Association national championship. The Bulletin is happy to clarify the article

The Bulletin’s article, “Heavy rains bring more sewage to Whitmire’s Tryon property,” should have attributed the following quote to George Baker, not Joel Burrell. “Believe me I feel sorry for Ms. Whitmire, but there comes a point where the individual rights are not as important as the group rights and you know, maybe the best thing we could do is buy her a house and move her out of there,” commissioner George Baker said.

each Sunday, his young voice calls out to the, “Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Alleluia, alleluia.”

As an acolyte Ivan carries the cross, which is almost as big as he is, as he leads the reverend and the procession into the church. He also breaks the bread for the congregation.

“I refer to him as Ivan the great. He’s quite an impressive young man,” Father Bryan said. “I often say, ‘I took him un-der my wings,’ but he’s really taken me under his wings.”

Ivan took over the role of acolyte some-what by chance. B r y a n s a i d when Ivan’s aunt Angela had to have surgery more than a year ago, he asked Ivan if he wanted to keep coming to church. Ivan did, so Bryan be-gan picking him up each Sunday.

Father Bryan said while he was busy fulfilling his duties, he needed something to occupy Ivan. This led to Ivan taking on a list of responsibilities.

Before the church starts into the Eucharist Ivan goes out with Father Bryan to shake hands and greet people. During the Eucharist he stands right beside Bryan. Ivan is even responsible for passing the wafers on to Father Bryan.

“When he comes in, especially the visitors are in awe of him walking in with the cross and be-ing a part of the service,” Bryan said. “When he says, ‘Go in peace and serve the Lord,’ everyone is captivated by him and often the visitors give him clapping ova-tion.”

Angela said at first Ivan was jittery. Soon he told his aunt however that, ‘Father Bryan had a man-to-man talk with me so I’m ok.’”

“It has really made him ma-ture,” Angela said. “His teachers and speech therapists, doctors …

all of them say they have seen a real change in him. He truly loves to go to church.”

Bryan said Ivan is curious about a lot of aspects of the church that even adults don’t show inter-est in.

“First he comes across as a person who is shy, but after he got into the role for a little while he took to it as if that was his forte,” Bryan said. “We have other kids who are of the same age in the church but they aren’t interested in what is going on as much as he is.”

Ivan missed just three ser-vices while he was having his tonsils taken out. Even then he was con-cerned. “Who will do my job if I am not at church,” Ivan asked.

Parishioner Cindy Norden said her heart is warmed by Ivan’s love for the church.

“I am astounded … to see a child grow within six months with such confidence toward what God wants us to be … it’s wonderful to see him,” she said. “If the whole world could feel that way, if every person felt their self-esteem ex-isted because they are children of God how great would things be?”

Bryan is getting ready to retire in November. He said the con-gregation already lightheartedly suggests Ivan take over when that time comes and Ivan is ready.

“He talks to me that Father Bryan is getting old and might need him to preach. When I asked him what he would preach about, he said, ‘coyotes,’” Angela said with a laugh. “He said Polk Coun-ty people needed to know there were coyotes in North Carolina.”

Good Shepherd Episcopal Church is located in Tryon, 814 Markham Road at the corner of Jackson Street. For more infor-mation about the church, call the church phone 828-859-9961, the rectory phone 828-894-2092 or visit goodshepherdtryon.org. Services start at 10 a.m.

Silver Creek Community resi-dent Ronald Deal proposed a noise ordinance based on Henderson County’s existing ordinance. He said he’s lived in the community 13 years and has people next door playing loud music to the point where he has to wear earphones in his home.

“I mean, I can’t sleep,” he told the planning board.

Silver Creek resident Don Yar-brough said just before coming to the planning board meeting a person behind his house was shoot-ing a gun and a person in front of his house was shooting a gun.

“And I was afraid to go out my door,” said Yarbrough. “It is a very serious problem in our area.”

Polk County once had a noise ordinance that was approved in June 2004 but it was rescinded later that year after the then sheriff said he couldn’t enforce the ordinance the way it was written.

Planning board chair Bill Ennis said the county at the time didn’t involve the sheriff in creating the draft and said he thinks the planning board should first get the sheriff and the attorney involved prior to draft-ing a noise ordinance.

The 2004 noise ordinance in-cluded decibels, which was the enforcement issue.

Deal said the current proposal is a lot different than the one submit-ted in 2004.

Silver Creek resident Rita Hold-en said her biggest concern is with the guns. She said she has a 12-year-old and it’s a big concern when she hears guns go off in her neighborhood. She also said the is-sues within the neighborhood cause hostility between neighbors and fights, which ends up involving the sheriff’s office.

Planning board member Chris-tel Walter said the development agreement county commissioners

recently approved for the new White Oak development includes noise regulations so whatever the planning board drafts should also agree with that.

Polk County Commissioner Ray Gasperson said he spoke to the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office, where a noise ordinance has been in place over 10 years. Gasperson said what Deal has proposed is minimal in many ways and just the knowledge that an ordinance is in place is enough to deter the activity.

Gasperson also said the county has approved noise restrictions within the development agreement

with White Oak based on what may or may not happen in the future.

“These folks have been deal-ing with what’s happening for years and years,” Gasperson said. “Why should we be so concerned about what may happen. Why not

take a look at what is happening.”The planning board discussed

how the county may be able to handle gun shooting as a separate issue, saying that is a safety issue in a community.

Board member David Smith said if the subdivision has 150 oc-cupied homes, he doesn’t care what someone’s range is no one should be target shooting there.

“We have a gun range,” Smith said. “I’ve got a .22 that states on the box it will travel one mile.”

Member Wayne Horne said due to the Silver Creek community be-ing in an unzoned township, what-ever the county comes up with will have to be county-wide.

“I feel for you,” Horne told residents. “It’s got to be enforceable through the whole county.”

The board tabled the discussion until its next meeting, where Ennis said he would invite sheriff Donald Hill and county attorney Jana Berg to attend. The planning board’s next meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 13 at 5 p.m.

Four artists discuss their creative process at Tryon Fine Arts CenterTryon Fine Arts Center will

present Tuesday evening, May 14 from 6-7:30 p.m., a special evening with four prominent area sculptors, Stoney Lamar, Dustin Farnsworth, Dale McEntire and Dale Weiler.

The artists will discuss their art and their process of creation in a panel discussion format.

The event is part of the Sculp-ture 2013 exhibit on display in the building and on the grounds at Tryon Fine Arts Center until May 30.

Stoney Lamar of Saluda has contributed exceptional skill and vision to the world of wood turning for more than 25 years, creating work with a distinct sense of line and movement. A retrospective of his career, A Sense of Balance, is currently on display at the Asheville Art Museum. Farnsworth, cur-rently a resident artist at Penland School of Arts and Crafts, is a sculptor whose work examines the relationship between human be-ings and their physical and mental

environment. Dale Weiler of Tryon describes

himself as a sculptor of stone. He chose this medium because of the “feel of the stone” and the techni-cal challenge of working with probably the most demanding and unforgiving medium of all art forms. McEntire produces both oil and pastel paintings and sculpture (stone, steel, glass and bronze) out of his studio in Saluda. His interest in the spiritual essence of nature can be seen in his use of color and form.

Tryon Fine Arts Center pro-vides opportunities and facilities for the entire Carolina Foothills community in order to advance experience and participation in the arts. There is no charge for the sculptor panel discussion; dona-tions will be accepted at the door. Light refreshments will be served. Please call 828-859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org if you have any questions.

I was sitting on the porch of my room watching the rain come down. It was not a little rain, but had been coming down in a constant downpour all morn-ing. There were still a few birds around the property, but the majority of them were staying in deep cover to avoid getting soaked. Despite the noise of the rain on the roof and the con-stant dripping on the leaves, there were some birds calling from outside my door. Some were familiar notes, such as the short harsh notes of Kentucky and Hooded Warblers (both summer birds here in our area of the Carolinas), but others were distinctly tropical. Brown Jays are very noisy and their screams are easily heard above the steady drumming of the rain and Montezuma Oropendolas (large relatives of the Grack-les) utter their bizarre gurgling sounds from the large trees around my cabin, while some rhythmic tooting announces the arrival of a Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl, a quite fierce diurnal hunter of small birds.

I was obviously not here in rainy western North Carolina,

but in a forest preserve near La Ceiba on the north coast of Honduras in Central America, where we had two back-to-back birding tours at the very comfortable Pico Bonito Lodge. In just the first few days, we racked up a sizeable list of birds

including such local specialties as Vermiculated Screech-Owl, K e e l - b i l l e d To u c a n a n d White-crowned Parrot. There are lots of birds

here that never visit North America and spend their whole lives in the coastal forests in this part of the world. But the woodland and scrub habitat are also full of “our” birds, travel-ers from the northern climes that are spending the winter down here in the tropics. Wood Thrush and Gray Catbird feed in the open and often come to the fruit that is put out on the bird feeders; Hooded Warblers are common around the grounds and are readily seen in the trail as we go from our rooms to the reception, or in our case, the dining room. It’s a real pleasure to see these brightly colored

birds feeding out in the open when we are so used to seeing them skulking deep in the veg-etation of our mountain forests. Other wintering warblers are common around the property, including American Redstart, back-and-white, Magnolia and Chestnut-sided Warblers and even Ovenbird. Yellow-bellied Flycatchers call from the under-story and Summer Tanagers give their distinctive notes from vine tangles and treetops.

It’s wonderful to see how common many of these birds are down here in the Honduran forests, but even here their forest habitats are surrounded by a sea of oil palm, banana and sugar cane plantations- poor habitats for any species of bird to attempt to stay alive. It’s a depressing sight to see local forests being axed to make room for yet more plantations of foreign trees with all of the revenues from the crops heading straight out of the country. Thankfully Honduras has a great selection of national parks with Pico Bonito Lodge snuggled right into it allowing wildlife to cross from one prop-

erty to the other.To stay at this lodge was a

real honor and we all had an amazing week of great birding- I will see you all in the spring, along with many of our migrant birds.

He and Chris also own and operate the Asheville Wild Birds Unlimited Store. For more in-formation on any of the birding activities in the area, drop by the store or check his website at www.asheville.wbu.com

FI ● DU ● CI ● AR ● Y

22 Depot St., Tryon, NC 28782 ● 828-‐859-‐7001

DEFINITION: A person legally appointed and authorized to hold assets in trust for another person. The fiduciary manages the assets for the benefit of the other person, rather than for his or her own profit.*

USAGE: A registered investment advisor is legally bound to a “fiduciary standard,” looks after the assets of another person on that person’s behalf, is fully transparent, and required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

IDEA: Ask your advisor if they’re held to the fiduciary standard above. Use the actual wording of the paragraph. You might be surprised at the answer.

Why would you not want a fiduciary managing your money?*Investopedia.com

Saturday night, May 4, 10 of the most beautiful and talented Polk County High School girls chal-lenged each other for the title of Miss PCHS 2013.

Competing in the areas of casual wear, talent and formal wear, the girls were judged on their poise, interview skills and grace under pressure as they answered questions pertaining to social issues.

The audience and judges found Ali Baston’s story of her 12-year friendship with another con-testant, Moira Davis, very moving. Baston was awarded the highest scores in every category, including talent, in which she sang as Moira danced an interpretive ballet piece.

Class winners were: Chelsea Kelly – Miss Senior; Stephanie Pace – Miss Junior, Lindsay Pruett – Miss Sophomore and Grace Marshall – Miss Freshman. The other contestants were Scarlett Frisbee, Emily Kocher, Sarah Phipps and Cheyenne Young. This year’s sponsors were Van’s Chocolates of Hendersonville, Ali B’s Boutique in Columbus, A Better Deal and Tryon House, both in Tryon.
