Developer said regulation was the problemby Leah Justice
A developer and residents de-bated during the county commis-sioners meeting Feb. 4 what caused the Chocolate Drop development to fail.
Chocolate Drop has been a heated topic of discussion since 2007 when the mountain was cleared for a subdivision and ero-sion problems occurred. Some say Chocolate Drop is the reason local leaders enacted new ordinances for the countys mountains.
Commissioner Keith Holbert invited Mitch Stott to the meeting to give the county the other side of the story. Stott, who was the local developer of the property, said he has made a number of attempts over the years to state his case but it seemed to always fall on deaf ears.
He said he is a lifelong resident

Martin(Continued From page 1)
unanimous.A l l c o u n c i l m e m b e r s ,
including mayor Alan Peoples and commissioner George Baker attended the closed session meeting for discussion.
Martin was the first female manager to work in Polk County and began working with the town on Sept. 10, 2012.
Tryons manager position was the first for Martin as she gradu-ated with a masters in public administration from the College of Charleston in May 2011.
Tryon has appointed fire chief Joey Davis as the interim manager, a position he held prior to the hiring of Martin.
Davis is also the planning and zoning administrator and code enforcer.
Davis was appointed interim manager following the towns firing of former manager Justin Hembree.
Hembree was the towns manager for almost three years, being hired in January 2009 as the interim, then being appointed permanent manager in June 2009. He was fired on Jan. 3, 2012.
The town has struggled finding a permanent manager since former manager Jim Fatland resigned in December 2007 after working with the town for approximately five years. Following Fatland, the town hired Dr. Jack Miller, who only stayed a few months prior to resigning.
of Polk and his familys heritage runs deeper than most anyone in the commissioners room. His mothers kitchen window over-looks Chocolate Drop Mountain, he said.
I assure you that me as a devel-oper, there was no intent to destroy that mountain, Stott said.
He said hes read countless newspaper submittals saying if there were only regulation, this wouldnt have happened.
Regulation is the problem, Stott said. That mountain was built and sculpted and carved to the exact detail of what the NCDENR (N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources) imposed.
Stott said they begged and pleaded to not go with the regula-tions because they knew the moun-tain would fail. He said developers argued that their intent was to build retaining walls. Stott said develop-ers told DENR their regulations on slope would mean they would have to take out trees and as developers they want to keep trees.
Regulation, policy, cram it down our throat, Stott said. We went ahead and built it with those regulations.
Laura Herbert, regional engi-neer at DENRs Asheville office said although she was not part of the Chocolate Drop process, DENR has minimum requirements for slope stability and her office does not tell people what to do.
DENR makes sure there is proper sediment and erosion con-trol, Herbert said, and has mini-mum standards for slopes, such as wanting them packed correctly, making sure they are not too steep or too vertical. DENR reviews a developments sedimentation and erosion control plan as well, she said.
The bottom line is those slopes failed and (developers) constructed them, said Herbert.
Lawsuits were filed against Chocolate Drop developers (LGI Land Group), including from DENR. DENRs lawsuit ordered that LGI fix erosion and sedimenta-tion issues on the property.
Other lawsuits were filed from lot owners who claim they were sold land that could not be built upon. Stotts comments on Choco-late Drop drew a few residents to the lectern who disagreed with him.
Rene McDermott said there was no regulation saying the Texas developer, or anyone else, had to develop Chocolate Drop Mountain.
McDermott said DENR and de-partment of transportation (DOT) requirements about the slopes of roads and widths are in place for good reasons such as safety.
If legal roads couldnt be built on Chocolate Drop without the disastrous damage that was caused, the answer was not to develop the mountain, McDermott said, not to forge ahead either ignorantly or willfully ignoring the fully fore-seeable outcome of the work. The answer was not to build below standard and unsafe roads, roads too steep or too narrow for emer-gency vehicles.
McDermott said instead of helping, or enabling the Texas developer, how much better would it have been if Stott had used his knowledge and experience to tell the developer not to develop Chocolate Drop?
To tell that developer that Chocolate Drop couldnt be de-veloped without causing terrible damage on the mountain and below it, to the innocent homeowners liv-ing below, she said. How much better would it have been for Mr. Stott to tell the developer to find another place to make his money? That was a choice. That would have been the right choice.
Stott said he is saddened by the results of the development and even hired a mediator and spent $400,000 more submitting plans to DENR. He said they got to the point where they had no choice less than to bankrupt the project and he was forced to leave his beautiful county.
He asked if people dont realize that saying no pig farms, no race tracks, no mobile homes through regulations is only playing into developers hands.
When you take and say you cant do this and do that youve taken away the character that was
created here, Stott said.Lisa Krolak said she remembers
the day she was driving to work and saw the grading that had started on Chocolate Drop and it made her heart drop.
As a citizen I thought of what I could do to make sure that doesnt happen anywhere else in the coun-ty, said Krolak. Thats what SOS (Save Our Slopes) did.
It was at that time that she and others went out and collected names and started SOS and after a couple of years Krolak said they had about 1,200 people signed up.
Krolak said Polk County cant change state regulations but maybe the county could work together to come up with local regulations.
David Weiss said he also want-ed to hear the other side of the story and contacted DENR, who didnt know about Polks meeting. Weiss said there seems to be a lot of parties involved including DENR, DOT, the developer, lot owners, the Town of Columbus and Stott.
To create a fair and balanced meeting you might should have
invited some of those groups, Weiss told commissioners.
Weiss also said hes spoken to the Columbus manager and found out the towns fire department had problems getting on Chocolate Drop during a fire along U.S. 74.
It would be nice if we could work together to rebuild Chocolate Drop, Weiss said.
Weiss said bankruptcy is a stalemate and maybe Polk could create a fund raiser to get some traction going. He said he hates big government but this is what can happen when you have an out-of-state developer who doesnt know the soils in North Carolina.
Hopefully we can create a more rounded presentation in the future, Weiss said.
Commissioner Tom Pack said it had been rumored that Stott had tried to replant trees on the moun-tain and asked why that hasnt happened. Stott said the develop-ers were forced into bankruptcy and DENR regulations wouldnt allow them to do anything without being fined.

Name spelled wrong
To the editor:I have violated
the first rule of newspapering that I learned from Seth Vining ear ly on: Mention as many people as possible, and spe l l t he i r names right.
In my most re-cent Remember When column I ment ioned gos-pel singer Cyn-thia Clawson and spelled it my way instead of her way.
She was a great f r iend of Frans brother Mitch (seen to the right)
Letter to the Editor from their college days, and she came to the hospital in Arlington Texas and sang to Mitch for hours, then sang for all of us at the service celebrating his life.
One of her selec-tions was Softly and Tenderly, as sung to set the evocative tone for the soundtrack of
the Academy Award winning movie The Trip to Bountiful.
C l a w s o n h a s received a Gram-my and five Dove awards for her work as a songwriter, vo-cal artist and musi-cian. Her career has spanned more than four decades with
22 recordings to her credit.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to
the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue
a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!
The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongues roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all
taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascars primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemurs natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Todays dollars, like most currencies, are called fiat money which means they are backed by peoples faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.

The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to
the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue
a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!
The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongues roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all
taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascars primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemurs natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Todays dollars, like most currencies, are called fiat money which means they are backed by peoples faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!
The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institutions namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at
