Drug seizure money allows department to purchase new vehicleby Leah Justice

The Columbus Police Depart-ment received approximately $105,000 in reimbursement almost exactly one year after the depart-ment discovered $159,785 in drug money hidden in a vehicle.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Aug. 16 and approved the purchase of a 2012 Dodge Charger to be paid for with the money. Council agreed to spend approximately $26,000 including for the vehicle and equipment. The new Charger will be unmarked.

“This is the good news portion of the evening,” said town manager Jonathan Kanipe in announcing the reimbursement. “The seizure money is in our bank account.”

The seizure occurred during an Aug. 5, 2011 N.C. Gover-nor’s Highway Safety checkpoint

conducted near the Polk County Isothermal Community College along Hwy. 108. It was the largest money seizure in Polk County’s history, with Columbus police of-

On a recent Saturday morning, members of the Rotary Club of Tryon were out early picking up trash along Highway 176, both north and south of Tryon. The project is part of the c lub’s commitment to environmental protection and beautification and is led by Rotarian John Walters. The club conducts the clean up three times each year and following the work Walters treats the volunteers to doughnuts, coffee and juice. Rotarians pictured are Ron Wingo, Dave Cornelius, Charles McKeller, John Walters, Art Brown, John Gargiulo, Jim Mellberg, and Hugh Hursey. (photo submitted by Bill Hillhouse)

character of its surroundings.The Twin Lakes tract –

named for its two large ponds – was purchased by James T. and Helen Wilkes in the late 1950s. For more than 60 years, the Wilkes family generously made it available to the Saluda community for fishing, swim-ming and picnicking. The park has since been a popular com-munity gathering spot, hosting weddings, baptisms and family reunions.

Current owners James T. Wilkes III, of Sarasota, Fla. and William Wilkes, of Henderson-ville – children of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wilkes—and Holly Wilkes of Saluda, have contin-ued to manage Twin Lakes as a

community park. To ensure the park would be available to Salu-dans forever, the trio decided to donate the land to SCLT, which will own and manage it as a public park in perpetuity.

SCLT partnered with CMLC, which placed a conservation easement on the parklands to restrict future development. In addition to ensuring the perpe-tuity of the park, the easement preserves the scenic forest sur-rounding the lakes, as well as safeguarding the water quality of the lakes and a tributary of the Green River.

“Generations of Saluda resi-dents have reveled in the beauty and fun atmosphere at Twin Lakes – long made generously available by the Wilkes family.

routine checkpoint.The U.S. Immigration and

Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) took over the case with federal agents determining that the money tested positive for cocaine.

Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield said at the time that the seizure is a perfect example of why the Columbus Police Depart-ment is so active with the gover-nor’s highway safety program. He said at some point, all criminals go mobile and the chances of catching criminals are much greater from a vehicle stop than from actually catching them in the act.

Beddingfield told council last week that the department has been to several trainings on appropriate uses and guidelines for the seizure money. Drug seizure money can only be used on certain spending, such as equipment to increase drug seizure activity within the depart-ment. Departments cannot use drug seizure money for any equipment already budgeted.

Beddingfield said the depart-ment’s first priority is to get the vehicle fleet in good condition. He said the purchase of the patrol car council approved will put the

department in good shape.Beddingfield said the next

priority is to purchase rifles for of-ficers, estimated at approximately $8,500 and the third priority is training.

Beddingfield said his officers want to utilize training to allow the department to get more seizure money.

“We want to fund our own way,” Beddingfield said. “We don’t want to burden the citizens with tax increases. Instead of spending citizens’ money, I’d much rather spend criminals’ money.”

The Columbus Police Depart-ment is also awaiting another $9,000 from a separate drug sei-zure.

Drug seizure money has to be sent to the state or federal govern-ment and the department receives a percentage of the money back. In last year’s seizure of $159,785, the federal government kept a portion and also gives other de-partments who helped Columbus smaller portions. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office, the Tryon Police Department and departments from Iredell and Lincoln Counties will also receive small portions of the seizure.

“It’s really going to help us for several years to come do things we need to do,” Beddingfield said.

Part-time residents question 16,880 gallons usedby Leah Justice

Saluda City Council denied a request of relief for a $335 water bill to part-time Saluda residents who were not living at the home at the time.

Saluda com-missioners met Monday, Aug. 13 and denied the appeal by a 3-1 vote. Com-missioner Lynn C a s s v o t e d against deny-ing the request.

Cappy and Bill Rearick, who are part-time Saluda residents said by letter that last November they closed up their Saluda home and drained the toilets, sinks and washing machine then turned off the water supply valve to the house.

The Rearicks said in Decem-ber, January and February they received normal bills from the city but in March 2012 they received a bill for 16,880 gal-lons used.

“That was enough water to fill a 15x30 swimming pool, 5 feet deep, or 8,500 toilet flushes,” said the Rearick’s let-

ter. “No one was living in the house and we had no visitors.”

Saluda City Administrator Erny Williams said that staff visited the home six times to find any issues and none were found. The city’s policy is that an adjustment can be made to a utility bill if a leak is found and residents can show they had the leak fixed.

The me te r was tested with n o p r o b l e m s found, accord-ing to staff.

W i l l i a m s said once the water goes past meter it’s the customer’s re-s p o n s i b i l i t y

and that the city has informed people with summer homes they should install a cutoff outside the home at the meter box. This home’s cutoff is at the house, Williams said.

Commissioner Leon Morgan said something had to be left on and it had to be something ma-jor. The next month the usage was zero then the next month the usage was 860 gallons, said Morgan.

Commissioner George Sweet said the Rearicks are really nice people, but he doesn’t think there’s anything the city can do for them.

“That was enough water to fill a 15x30 swimming pool, 5 feet deep, or 8,500 toilet flushes. No one was living in the house and we had no visitors.”

Pinecastle Records, of Colum-bus, releases Irish bluegrass/folk artists’ I Draw Slow critically ac-claimed project, ‘Redhills,’ prior to their U.S. tour this fall. The band and Redhills have been featured on Irish television and reviewed by influential Irish music magazines and blogs and now the album has come to the U.S. Radio stations around the country are already playing their new album.

“Their release is beautiful - absolutely beautiful. What a wonderful collection of songs, and the arrangements are, again, beautiful.”

- Martin Anderson, WNCWThe songwriting duo of sib-

lings Dave (guitar) and Louise (vocals) Holden along with band-members Adrian Hart (fiddle), Colin Derham (banjo) and Konrad Liddy (bass) came together to form I Draw Slow in 2007. All five members have toured the Irish and European circuit as well as spending time in the U.S. The band has created a sound somewhere

between bluegrass and celtic. They blend Appalachian and Irish music while transcending both. Bluegrass and Appalachian music owes much of its pedigree to Irish music and I Draw Slow brings that sound full circle.

The band has filmed two music videos featuring tunes from the Redhills album. The video for “Goldmine” has a cast and crew of dozens, including professional actors and actresses in full cos-tume. The video for “Swans” was recorded live on a hill in South Dublin in one take with five mi-crophones and is mandatory for anyone interested in the band. Together the videos have over 50,000 views. The band’s You-Tube channel www.youtube.com/idrawslow also contains more live performances of the band.

Tryon Youth Center’s mission is to be an asset to the community by providing a safe place for youth to gather for social events and club meetings as well as assisting area schools in raising funds for PTA sponsored activities and organized sports and to serve the commu-nity at large by being available for meetings and private adult parties.

Historically, Tryon Youth Cen-ter has served youth-meeting its original goals of service to youth in ways, which of necessity have changed with the times. At its

inception Tryon Youth Center primarily served youth, but over the years the organization has gradually become more commu-nity oriented and now serves both youth and adults.

Through its programs and ac-tivities, Tryon Youth Center has endeavored to serve the needs of our youth as they progressed through childhood and young adulthood, encouraging them as they made decisions affecting their present and their future and cooperating with parents, schools,

churches and other community based organizations. These goals have been accomplished through Tryon Youth Center’s being a meeting place for the summer youth theatre production which is now done in cooperation with Tryon Little Theatre, helping local schools raise money through fund-raisers and awarding a number of scholarships to high school gradu-ates planning for higher education.

Area adults are served by the availability of Tryon Youth Center’s facility for activities.

Some of these are fundraisers for Livestrong and Relay for Life for the battle against cancer, provid-ing a space for the Unitarian Fellowship, a rehearsal space for Tryon Little Theatre, a space for Foothills Duplicate Bridge and private parties.

Artist and writer Bonnie Bardos will speak about her life and work at the Lanier Library on Tuesday, Aug. 21 at noon. The program is free and everyone is welcome.

Well known to readers of the Tryon Daily Bulletin for her regular columns on happenings in Saluda, Bardos is also a sig-nificant presence in the local art scene, with works on display at several galleries in the area. She has received recognition for her art in one of the U.S.’ most important venues, Santa Fe, N.M., and her work has also been exhibited widely in North and South Carolina. Her short stories and poetry have been published in various literary publications, including ‘Counterpoint,’ and

she also received recognition for her poetry in the Sidney Lanier Poetry Competition, sponsored by the Lanier Library.

Born in Ketchikan Island, Alaska, Bardos grew up in North Carolina and attended Wingate University. She has studied pen and ink drawing, watercolor and oil painting with numerous notable artists including Libby Johnson at the Arrowmont Craft School in Gatlinburg, Va., and Mike Stiler on Monhegan Is-land, Me.

Her work in various media is influenced by the natural world, with recurring images of land-scapes, women, and birds, and wider cultural influences, from Asian poetry to Jungian sym-bolism. Describing her creative

process, she says “I have come to realize over the stretching of years that the art I create: paintings, writings, or sculpture are all related by an underlying theme with common threads throughout the warp and weave. Whatever it is comes from the moment from within my deep-est being. At the time, I may not understand why I’m drawn to create a particular thing, paint a particular piece. Yet, as time passes, I always do come to comprehend.”

The program is part of the Lanier Library’s Brown Bag Lunch series, which occurs on the third Tuesday of each month. Because of the timing, at noon, the audience is invited to bring a bag lunch to enjoy during the

is sent about the event, program or initiative you are driving constituents to the social media sites with phrases such as; to learn more please follow us on Twitter or to learn more please like us on Facebook. You want to make sure that you have at least a three-month window of time lead-ing up to the event, program or initia-tive to promote the new social media tools.

The third step is to ensure you have a staff or volunteer position cre-ated for the new social media tools. As we discussed in previous articles social media requires time. I suggest for any position within a nonprofit – make one person responsible, but train everyone and get at least two other people involved who can help out at any time.

The fourth step is a suggested step and not every organization will need this. Use a coach to help you develop your first strategy. I believe in the nonprofit sector we do not use

As the nonprofit leadership col-umn continues discussing market-ing for nonprofits, the next several articles will focus on the social media marketing strategy/plan.

In the previous articles we have learned a little about social media and what it is used for. In this article we are doing to discuss the steps involved in taking it from plan to action.

The first step is to have a strategy to execute against. This strategy will be the decision you have made as an organization or committee on which primary use you are going to use the social media tools for and the tools selected. Remember the top uses are fundraising, recruiting volunteers and spreading your message.

The second step is to start by focusing the start of the social media campaign around a specific program, special event or initiative (i.e. fund-raising or advocacy). This will allow you to build an engagement for the new social media tools.

In doing this make sure that on every e-mail and printed item that

Nonprofit Leadership

Melissa Le Roy

all of the resources that are available to us.

There are many seasoned non-profit leaders who are more than willing to coach other nonprofit lead-ers on a variety of topics and issues. Instead of a coach, I like to think of them as mentors. The mentor that

I have used for years, is someone that I can turn to, to ask for advice, gain assistance or sometimes re-quest an ear.

The fifth step is only do what is measurable and focused. As we have already stated many times in this series it is easy for an organiza-tion to start a social media plan by implementing all the tools. The mis-take here is not staying focused and looking at where your constituents are in the social media realm.

You may not have anyone in your database on Twitter and you have started your free Twitter account with no followers to date. In my opinion this is not a valuable use of

Taking social media marketing from plan to actiona staff or volunteers time to keep this up to date if no one is looking at it. It is simply not measurable.

The sixth step is to remain pres-ent online. One of the most common mistakes nonprofit organizations make when jumping into social me-dia is they go full bore all the time and wear out the staff and volunteers that are in charge and worse burn out the followers.

Remember to use social media in an ebb and flow or bursty manner. You do not have to post, tweet, etc every day or every minute of the day.

The seventh and final step is to experiment with micro-donation campaigns. This is a tool that I would suggest every nonprofit organization use. It is the same basis as face-to-face fundraising. You don’t know until you ask. And we all know the number one reason why a donor does not give to a nonprofit – because they were not asked.

In the next article we will con-tinue discussing the steps for getting started using social media for your nonprofit.

Contrarians, Unite!

On July 30, John Vining of the North Carolina Coopera-tive Extension for Polk County helped Pam Torlina of the Paco-let Area Conservancy (PAC) and David Campbell, affiliated with the UNCC Herbarium housed at the Dr. James F. Matthews Center for Biodiversity Stud-ies, locate a rare habitat in Polk County.

The rare habitat contained native plant species associated with a coastal plain forest such as Smilax laurifolia (Laurel Greenbrier), Magnolia virgin-iana (Sweetbay) (Polk County is the farthest known western loca-tion for this native species), and Nyssa biflora (Swamp Tupelo), rare species to find in the upper piedmont of North Carolina.

Polk County is unique; it is anomalous in the state and there are several species that have been found here and no-where else in North Carolina. It is anticipated that there will be new species found in the county that have never before been described in Polk County. PAC hopes to work with David Campbell on a project to in-ventory the biodiversity of the county. The project would not only enable the documentation

of the species in the county but also get the community involved and interested in the unique and wonderful organisms found in this region and encourage the
