DSS building construction beginsCounty hopes to move into new building in Augustby Leah Justice

Weather stalled construc-tion last week, but the slab was poured at the new Polk County Department of Social Service (DSS) site a couple of weeks ago.

The new building is being constructed off Wolverine Trail in Mill Spring adjacent to the county’s recreation park and middle school.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said the plumbing has been installed underground and the water and sewer lines are connected to the site.

The metal and beams have

been ordered and should be-gin going up within the next couple of weeks, according to Whitson.

Whitson said the schedule is for construction to be com-pleted sometime mid-June, weather permitting, and he hopes DSS will be able to oc-

Crews continue work on the slab for the new DSS building, in Mill Spring adjacent to the county’s recreation park and middle school. The project has been delayed by weather this past week. (photo by Leah Justice)

Saluda ordinance back to planning boardCity leaders debate home occupation definitionby Samantha Hurst

Saluda commissioners tabled a vote Monday, Jan. 17 to change the definition of “home occupa-tion” within the city’s zoning

ordinance after residents and city leaders raised a host of concerns over alterations proposed by the planning board.

Resident Dotty Eargle said she adamantly believed Saluda should not restrict home occu-pations.

“In this period of ungodly

economic times, people are hav-ing home occupations to make money because they need it – bad,” Eargle said. “If people buy property, they have certain rights and I think you are infringing on their rights.”

Bruce Campbell disagreed. “I fully believe in support-

ing our entrepreneurs, but what about when the work you do destroys the property next to you?” Campbell asked. “All I’m trying to do is protect our prop-erty. I just wish the commission and everyone would consider what this means to people that live in R1.”

Saluda’s zoning ordinances currently define a home busi-ness or occupation as:

“Any use conducted entirely within a residence, its yard, and any accessory buildings and carried on by the occupants thereof, which use is clearly incidental and secondary to the use of the building for residence purposes and does not change the character thereof. In con-nection with said use there shall not be more than one person not a resident on the premises who is employed specifically in con-nection with the home business or occupation. No mechanical

equipment shall be installed or used on the premises except that which is normally used for do-mestic or professional purposes,

and not over twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor space of the principal building shall be used for home occupations.”

Campbell and other residents wanted to see this definition

DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local couple happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store.

At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale!

The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take lessons from a local profes-sional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dres-sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country course and stadium jump-ing. They ended up high point!

clarified and strengthened. Planning board chairman

Henry Bright said board mem-bers aimed to think long-term when making changes.

“I think when the planning board took a look at what will Saluda look like in 10 years… we wanted to limit the number of accessory buildings on lots first of all, in an effort to main-tain the look and feel of the community,” Bright said.

Bright said the Polk County definition includes phrases related to neighbors not being able to see, smell or hear any-thing related to the home o c c u p a t i o n . Therefore the business must be “contained within the resi-dence,” Bright said.

According to alterations the planning board suggest-ed, residents w i t h h o m e businesses must conduct said business within the four walls of the residence and one ad-ditional accessory building on the property.

Taking these things into consideration, planning board members recommended the ordinance definition read:

“An occupation, profession, activity or use that is clearly a customary, secondary, and incidental use of a residential dwelling unit which does not alter the exterior of the property or affect the residential charac-ter of the neighborhood.”

They also suggested it in-clude a number of provisions.

Those provisions said sig-nage is restricted to one sign up to 1 square foot for a home occupation and a separate sign, up to 1½ square feet, to identify

a residence. The provisions also included that storage of mate-rials, equipment, displays or other visual evidence of a home occupation is not permitted ex-cept within the primary dwell-ing and in one fully enclosed accessory structure.

The home occupation can employ no more than one person who is not a family member liv-ing in the residence and no more than 25 percent of the residence and one accessory building can be used for the home occupa-tion, according to the suggested changes. They also said that vehicles used in conjunction with, and parked at, any home occupation cannot exceed the

number typi-cally expected in a neighbor-hood.

M a y o r Fred Brais-den seemed increasingly c o n c e r n e d about the im-pact changes in the zon-ing ordinance might have on

the ability of residents to later sell their property.

He pointed out a local art-ist as an example. The artist currently has three accesso-ry buildings on his property. Should that artist choose to move and not conduct his per-sonal business there for a period of 120 days, he would no longer be able to sell the property to someone intending to use it for the same purpose.

The way the zoning cur-rently reads, there is no limita-tion to the number of accessory buildings allowed.

Commissioner Johnnie Ki-nard wanted to know how por-tions of the ordinance would be enforced.

“Who’s going to determine what an acceptable vehicle is?”

“I fully believe in supporting our entrepreneurs, but what about when the work you do destroys the property next to you? All I’m trying to do is protect our property.”

Kinard asked. “That section is entirely too vague; it has to be a lot more specific.”

Saluda Attorney Bailey Nager expressed concern over the ability to enforce the vehicle restrictions as well.

Other issues raised included the inclusion of commercial historical or CH zones in the home oc-cupation ordi-nance. Commissioner Leon Morgan said he would hate to see the mess the town would face were that zone included in the home occupation codes. The commercial historical or CH district includes downtown Saluda.

Bright said leaving CH in the ordinance language was simply an oversight. He said the board had no intention of trying to impose home occupa-tion regulations on commercial property; they were intended only for residential areas.

City clerk Doris Marion also read a letter from resident Nancy C. Johnson, who could not be present.

“Every time I leave my home I’m exposed to three sides of my neighbor’s property, which looks like a trash pile,” Johnson wrote.

Johnson asked the commis-sion to approve the ordinance so other residents didn’t have to deal with a similar sight around their property.

City leaders said they re-ceived 11 other letters, all in favor of the proposed changes.

Lynn Cass, chairman of the Historical Saluda Commission,

“Our neighborhoods are our future. I think it's very important to have strong zoning for our community.”

-- Lynn Cass

spoke to encourage the passing of the new definition.

“Our neighborhoods are our future,” Cass said. “I think it’s very important to have strong zoning for our community.”

The board will now take commissioners’ requests back and attempt to rectify concerns

over verbiage related to ve-h i c l e s , t h e creation of a sliding scale for determin-ing the number of accessory buildings al-lowed based

on lot size and the elimination of CH zones from the defini-tion.

Planning board members reiterated that no one currently holding a home occupation li-cense would be affected under the new definition. Changes to the zoning code would af-fect only residents seeking a home occupation license after the commission approves the ordinance.

cupy the building in August.The new DSS building has

been one of the county’s most politically controversial projects in recent years, with plans and funding being approved just prior to the 2010 election.

Most of the controversy cen-tered around the size of the building, with last year’s board being split on the size. The majority of the board agreed to build for growth and to construct an 11,900-square-foot building with several vacant offices for future growth in the depart-ment.

The county approved a $1,590,755 bid from Able Con-structors late last year for the construction. The total project is estimated at $1,914,052 with the county expecting federal and state reimbursement over the next 45 years for the project. DSS services are partially paid for by the county, state and fed-

eral governments. The life of the new DSS building is estimated at 45 years.

The county also agreed to construct the building to comply with LEED (Leadership in En-ergy and Environmental Design) guidelines, in hopes of saving on utility costs.

The county expects state and federal reimbursements of more than $95,000 for the building this fiscal year, based on an estimated 61-percent reimburse-ment rate.

Polk will finance an estimat-ed $1.85 million for the project rather than using fund balance. Commissioners agreed late last year to use fund balance to pay off the remaining $2 million of a $4 million loan that included funding for the middle school, recreation park and transfer station. Paying off that loan and borrowing for the DSS building will save the county more than $360,000 once the state and

federal reimbursements on the DSS loan interest are taken into account.

The county has worked for the past couple of years to get all offices out of the aged Jervey Palmer building (the former St. Luke’s Hospital) on Carolina Drive in Tryon. Commission-ers have said the old building is costly to maintain and not suited for county services because much of the square footage is made up of hallways.

The Meeting Place Senior Center, which was previously located in the Jervey Palmer building, moved in late 2009 into renovated space in the former Carolina Classical School off Skyuka Road near Columbus.

The county’s veteran’s ser-vices offices, also formerly located in the Jervey Palmer building, were moved to the new senior center building as well.

After DSS moves, the Jervey Palmer building will house only mental health services. Commissioners at one time last year considered purchasing a Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry building to house mental health services, but the purchase has not been discussed in several months.

Notice from towN of columbus

Grease iNterceptorsGrease traps or interceptors are

passive devices required by munici-palities to stop grease, fat, oil, wax, or debris from entering the city's sanitary sewer system.

Such materials cause blockages in the system, which cause backups and overflows. Traps and interceptors are designed to separate greasy materials from wastewater so that they can be removed before they enter the sewer system.

All restaurants, caterers, school cafeterias and other commercial cooking facilities must avoid discharg-ing grease into the municipal sewer system.

Grease interceptors must receive wastewater from all contributory sources, such as pot sinks, dishwash-ers, floor drains and mat washing area drains before draining to the sanitary sewer system.

Typical building codes require all such new or rebuilt facilities to install a grease interceptor to pre-treat grease entering a sewer. All units should be fit-ted with a standard final-stage sample box. Interceptors must typically be sized for at least a 30 minute peak wastewater flow detention time from all contributory sources.

On occasion, a grease trap will be required in place of an interceptor. Traps are typically required to have a rated flow capacity sufficient for the same 30-minute flow time.

All new, and rebuilt, as well as existing kitchen facilities, must dedi-cate a specific area for the washing of floor mats and related equipment, bermed to ensure wastewater is not discharged to the storm drain system but to a grease interceptor discharging to the sanitary sewer.

Outdoor wash-down area drains must be protected from rain water intrusion. All garbage disposal units must be eliminated.

Usually, grease interceptors must be installed by a state-certified plumb-er. For grease interceptors and traps to function properly they must also be regularly serviced and maintained by a qualified contractor.

Please note that the following in-formation is provided as a guide only, and is not to be used as a substitute for a professional evaluation of any business.

Grease traps must be located at least 10 feet from hot water faucets. All hot water must cool to 120o F before entering the grease trap.

The size of the grease trap must comply with the Uniform Plumbing Code. Any sink or disposal that could carry grease must empty into the trap.adv. 7/22

Applications sought for 41st annual Youth Legislative AssemblyThe Youth Advocacy and

Involvement Office of the N.C. Department of Administration will accept applications through Feb. 11 for the 41st - annual Youth Legislative Assembly (YLA), to be held March 11-13 in Raleigh. Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

YLA is an opportunity for North Carolina high school stu-dents to write, debate and vote on bills and share their views with legislators and other state government officials. General sessions will be held at the leg-islative office building, room 643, with other activities at the Marriott Raleigh City Center.

Following procedures used

by members of the N.C. Gen-eral Assembly, participants will work in one of 10 committees before gathering for general sessions. Among the items to be considered are inclusion of sexual orientation into the civil rights law, a mandate that all public schools establish a compulsory foreign language class for kindergarten to eighth- grade students, and establish-ment of a state-run health care coverage plan for residents denied coverage by Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance. A YLA final report will be sent to the governor, members of the general assembly and other key state leaders.

Presiding over this year’s

YLA will be tri-speakers Aanya Udyavar, a senior at Terry Sanford High School in Fay-etteville; Kathleen Holbrook, a senior at Roxboro Community School in Roxboro and Neel Mandavilli, a senior at South-east Raleigh High School in Raleigh.

The per-student fee covers hotel accommodations for two nights, five meals, a T-shirt and conference materials.

Fees must be included with the application and will in-crease after Feb. 11. Written notice of acceptance or denial of registration will be provided by Feb. 25.

Past YLA sponsors include the N.C. Cable Telecommuni-

cations Association, the John William Pope Foundation, Progress Energy, the Longmire Group and the N.C. Sheriff’s Association.

For scholarships or other YLA information, contact YLA Coordinator Cynthia Giles at 919-807-4400 or [email protected].

To download registration forms, visit the Youth Ad-vocacy and Involvement Of-fice website at www.doa.state.nc.us/yaio/youthcouncils-yla.htm. A list of the 10 committees and proposed legislation from each committee is online, as is information and registration forms for adult chaperones.

Humanity and the importance of jazzEditor’s note: In honor of

Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Crys Armbrust submitted the follow-ing thoughts on jazz, written by King. This essay was first printed in the 1964 Berlin Jazz Festival program.

God has brought many things out of oppression. He has en-dowed his creatures with the capacity to create – and from this capacity has flowed the sweet songs of sorrow and joy that have allowed man to cope with his environment and many different situations.

Jazz speaks for life. The blues tell the story of life’s difficulties, and if you think for a moment, you will realize that they take the hardest realities of life and put them into music, only to come out with some new hope or sense of triumph. This is triumphant music.

Modern jazz has continued in this tradition, singing the songs of a more complicated urban existence. When life itself of-fers no order and meaning, the musician creates an order and meaning from the sounds of the earth which flow through his

instrument.It is no wonder that so much

of the search for identity among American Negroes was cham-pioned by jazz musicians. Long before the modern essayists and scholars wrote of “racial identity” as a problem for a multi-racial world, musicians were returning to their roots to affirm that which was stirring within their souls.

Much of the power of our freedom movement in the United States has come from this music. It has strengthened us with its sweet rhythms when courage began to fail. It has calmed us with its rich harmonies when spirits were down. And now, jazz is exported to the world. For in the particular struggle of the Negro in America there is something akin to the universal struggle of modern man. Every-body has the blues. Everybody longs for meaning. Everybody needs to love and be loved. Everybody needs to clap hands and be happy. Everybody longs for faith. In music, especially this broad category called jazz, there is a stepping stone towards all of these.

Conversations from Birdlandby DonWeathington

As the new year begins with angry grumblings coming from the conservative wing of our political “leadership” about the growing national debt, I keep trying to make sense of the scenario playing out on the national stage.

The extensions of the “Bush tax cuts” have been bought by the Congress for: a) legislation to repeal “Don’t ask, don’t tell” (ending prohibitions against gay persons serving in the military), b) ratification of the START legisla-tion (approving a treaty with Russia to reduce nuclear warheads to new, lower levels), and c) extend-ing unemploy-ment benefits for an additional 13 months.

The price of the continuation of those cuts in dollars to the U.S. Treasury is estimated to be $801 billion. As my great aunt Blanche used to say, these two points of view don’t “gee-haw.”

It looks to me as though we are being told one thing, but seeing the exact opposite being done. I’m sorry conservatives - the Laffer curve really is a Laugher – lower taxes don’t generate higher col-lections.

While attempting to find a logi-cal line of reasoning that makes the extension of those tax cuts help with lowering the national debt, I ran across a Dec. 17, 2010 article in the New York Times.

This article reported that 98 percent of US households earn less than $250,000 per year (the cut off line Democrats proposed as an up-per limit for extending cuts).

The idea is that the middle class will be more likely to spend the money (putting the money in circulation), while the upper 2 percent would be more likely to put the money into portfolios; such investments decrease the money supply and has a smaller effect on bolstering the economy.

The same NYT article reports that the median income for that 98 percent group is $55,000 (for a

family of 4), and the savings they enjoy from the tax cuts amounts to $2,700, or approximately 5 percent of their base income.

The average savings for the up-per 2 percent is slightly more than $44,000. That’s quite a difference. When the progressives attempted to negotiate regarding the tax cuts, they offered to raise the income ceiling for those who would keep the cuts in place to $1 million, but that wasn’t enough for the conser-vatives.

The constant carping by sup-porters of the lower tax rates – that the “rich” already pay the majority of tax revenues – is accurate. That makes sense to

me. Obviously if you are making a lot more money, you should be paying a lot more in tax – duh! How hard is that to figure out?

It is also true that your rate should be higher – those who ben-efit most should pay most. Those demanding lower tax rates for the wealthy apparently don’t have a grasp of the history of taxation in the United States. Or maybe they don’t care that their (dare I say it) class now pays almost 1/3 the rate (35 percent is the highest rate now) that was being paid in the 1940s and ‘50s.

The highest rates paid then ranged from 81 percent to 91 per-cent as the nation tried to regain its footing after the great depression.

At the end of 2009, news stories circulated reporting that the Fortune 400 (the wealthiest 400) paid tax at the rate of 16 percent due to various loopholes. With these supporting facts, reinstating the tax rates for the upper 2 percent makes a lot of sense to me and continuing to give breaks to those who need it least seems not to be in the best interest of the vast majority of Americans.

I do agree with conservatives who complain about the waste in government spending, although I doubt we could agree on how that would be best resolved. To me the

Season of the switchso-called “Republican agenda” has never seemed to represent the values upon which the nation was founded – equal opportunity and Christian principles.

For the life of me I can’t un-derstand how any rational person could still honestly trumpet the idea of the Bush tax cuts knowing that they were in place as early as 2003 and seeing that the economy has melted down to the current level since then.

Have we just sold out com-mon sense for a blip in the profit margin?

After puzzling over the absur-dity that those elected to do the business of the nation seem to be working against the best interest of the majority, two ugly possibilities began to emerge.

The first is that congressmen and women are all paid $174,000 per year (this year). In their posi-tion it is a small jump to get over that $250,000 line and thus con-gressmen would have to pay the increase.

That’s a depressing thought. The second is even less appealing: Congress is really working for the corporate entities and lobbyists who contributed so much to their campaigns.

My solution for this argument is to allow those in the upper range of income to EARN tax cuts by performing some national service for the benefit they desire. These same people are the first to rail about welfare recipients.

Pay them to repair the infra-structure, or to clean up hazardous waste sites, or to work in the Na-tional Park System. I say it’s their turn to be criticized for wanting the government to continue to give something to those doing nothing.

Don Weathington is a retired psychotherapist and business own-er who lives in Gillette Woods at a place called Birdland.

Editor’s note: Following this column, Mr. Weathington has asked to take a leave of absence from his column for health reasons. The Bulletin wishes him all the best in getting well soon.
