Yancey County tax administrators have identified 703 businesses that could have inventory or equipment on which business personal property taxes are owed each year, though about 300 of those businesses have declared no assets, equipment or supplies.

The tax office has merged its records with state reports on active corporations and incorporated entities, as well as Department of Revenue sales use lists.

The list, which is published in its entirety on pages 3-6 of this newspaper, identifies businesses that have declared business assets as well as those that have not filed reports with the county.

Businesses which last year declared and reported assets, including equipment, inventory, leased items, machinery, etc., show dollar amounts on the list for the value of those items. Those businesses which did not declare any such items, or was not in business last year, lists zeros on the list.

Mountain Heritage High School honored a long-time teacher and a former administrator during Senior Night activities last week.

Robert Buckner is the last remaining member of the original faculty that first opened Mountain Heritage High School. He has been a math teacher with the school for over 37 years. “Mr. Buckner has touched Cougar students for generations, including myself,” said Principal Kevin Huskins. “It is hard to imagine Mountain

Heritage without him; he will be greatly missed. The two things I will remember most about him is his ability to reach and care for every student and, of course, his love for Carolina basketball.”

Stuart Jolley, the principal at Claremont Elementary and a former assistant principal at Mountain Heritage, was honored for the years he has spent as the announcer for MHHS athletics. “Anyone who has been to a Cougar

football or basketball game knows ‘the voice,’” Huskins said. Jolley has been announcing Heritage athletics since the 1990s but he started out as a student announcer at Mars Hill High School.

“We are so blessed to enjoy the gift that Mr. Jolly has been given. He brings emotion and energy to Cougar fans in any atmosphere. He deserves this great honor, as he is without a doubt the best.”

As a small businessman and town property owner, the new and sudden ordinances (regarding design and building appearance) will hinder and put asunder many new shoestring business opportunities.

For myself, I am appalled at the flagrant, junked up properties throughout the town and county which directly reflect and damage our mountain her i tage and individuality of our fragile position here in Western North Carolina; the last Eden in America.

I would furthermore add

that trash along our byway is disgraceful and distasteful to our visitors, whom we work so hard to entice here.

These new rules in Burnsville are absolutely unnecessary in whole (I said in whole). These problems that are in issue are already on the books, written many years ago and allowed to deteriorate to the point of delusion. A failure of past authority. Do you really want more government in your life?James HollandBurnsville

Writer dislikes town design rules What is this list? This is the tax office list of businesses in Yancey, and whether they have declared business personal

property taxes, and in what amount. SEE STORY ON PAGE 1.

from the frontSome small business owners

who say they had never been asked to pay business personal property taxes received notices to file in October, and said they felt they might be singled out for the tax.

Tax administrators prepared and made available the list of businesses to show residents and business owners that they are trying to be fair and even handed, treating all the same.

“Is this new? No,” said Tax Administrator Jeff Boone. “We just followed up on information the Department of Revenue provided us” that identified businesses that may have declared expenses or deductions on their state tax records.

Boone said many business owners said “they didn’t know they had to file these reports. They said they never heard of it.”

The list identifies businesses that are on file in Raleigh as being in Yancey, as well as those on county tax records.

Boone said “this is the first year we’ve actually had time to go through the list (provided by the state) to be able to do a match” and identify all the businesses that might need to file business personal property tax forms with the county.

Boone said state statute says the

county can seek tax payments for five prior years, but “I don’t want to do that. I just want everybody on the same page to begin with. This definitely is nothing new.”

Businesses had until Jan. 31 to file their current business personal property tax report. Any filing after that date will have to pay a late listing fee, Boone said.

Boone said he couldn’t begin to estimate how much revenue Yancey County may have missed because comprehensive and aggressive collections did not occur in past years. He said he might have a better idea once all the data provided in the current filings is recorded and analyzed.

Boone said he prepared the list and made it available to the public because some area small business owners said they feared that they could be asked to pay the tax when other small businesses were not being asked to do so. Boone said the list is incomplete, and asked that anyone who knows of a business that should be filing business personal property reports to contact his office.

He said the county is not targeting crafters or artists only, but that all businesses that take deductions or claim expenses on state tax reports should also report their assets and equipment to the county so everyone is treated fairly in Yancey.

Mountain Heritage’s Drew Hoilman has committed to play f o o t b a l l a t E a s t Te n n e s s e e S t a t e University. A two-year starter who is 6 foot, 4 inches and 260 lbs., Hoilman is a tight end and defensive end.

Hoilman played varsi ty basketbal l for two years before switching to football. “Coach Robinson had asked me to play footbal l s ince my freshman year and … I really loved the game.”

He said “strength training has been one of the biggest parts of my success. The transition from my junior to my senior year I lived in the weightroom, and it made a huge impact on the field.”

H o i l m a n s a i d he expects to play defensive end at ETSU “because I like defense better, but I’m versatile and will play where I’m needed. Coming from a long line of accomplished athletes in my family only helped me, because of their knowledge about the game … and their knowledge about

recruiting.”Hoilman said what

he learned as a Cougar is a stepping stone to his college career. “I’ve learned that football is a tough sport and not going hard is not an option. I’ve learned that Coach Robinson is more like a father figure to me; he has helped me and pushed me to my potential and

I couldn’t thank him more.”

Hoilman said he is undecided about a major at ETSU.

“What I’ll miss most … is Friday nights and being with all my friends and getting to represent our home county.”

Hoilman signs ETSU letter of intent

A Burnsville man has been arrested and jailed on felony charges of statutory rape. Chad Michael Allen, 20, of 1548 Scronce Creek Road, was charged with two felonies on a warrant issued by Magistrate B.G. Hensley Jr. on a complaint by B.J. Shuford of the Yancey County Sheriff’s Office.

The warrant, dated Feb. 7, says there is probable cause to believe that Allen “willfully and feloniously did engage in a sexual act” with a 15-year old child. The second charge accuses Allen of having intercourse with the child.

Allen was in jail Tuesday under $100,000 secured bond. His probable cause hearing is set for Feb. 20.

In an unrelated case, a Green Mountain man has been charged on felony warrants for possession with intent to sell prescription drugs.

Nicholas Guy Robinson Jr., 25, of 232 Four Seasons Road, was charged on warrants dated Feb. 7 and issued by Magistrate B.G. Hensley Jr. on a complaint by Daniel Hughes of the Yancey County Sheriff’s

Office.T h e

warrants say t h e r e w a s p r o b a b l e cause to arrest R o b i n s o n f o r f e l o n y possession with intent to sell, felony conspiracy to sell, and misdemeanor possession of 29 dosage units of Clonazepam, a controlled substance.

Bond was set at $5,000.A Lenoir man was

charged with felony l a r ceny and f e lony possession of stolen goods after jewelry and a camera were stolen from a county woman.

Daniel Lee Price, 26, of Piper Place, Lenoir, was arrested on a warrant issued by Magistrate B.G. Hensley Jr. on a complaint by B.J. Shuford of the Yancey County Sheriff’s Office.

The warrant, dated Feb. 8, says Price is accused of stealing rings, necklaces, bracelets, Maglite flashlights and a

Sanyo digital camera - all valued at $1,430.

T h e M o u n t a i n H e r i t a g e L a d y Cougars captured their third straight Western Highlands Conference regular season championship after going 3-0 last week. The ladies were 16-2 overall (11-0 in conference play) and two games ahead of second place Madison with one game to go in regular season play.

The girls started the week at the top of their game against Owen, outscoring the Warlassies 19-2 in the first period and going on to a lopsided 51-19 victory even with star shooting guard Nyssa Freeman leaving the game early with a knee injury.

The girls then ran through the Lady Mountaineers last Tuesday, winning 41-21. Friday would be the toughest test, but Avery could not match the Lady Cougars’ up-tempo speed. Heritage took the

lead early and cruised to a rare 59-34 blowout of the tough Lady Vikings.

“Senior night was bittersweet,” said Abbey Bailey. “I was sad (that) it was my last regular-season home game, but so happy with our

win over Avery. I’m proud to be a part of our three-peat as conference champions. Winning three years in a row has taken so much hard work from our coaches and players. We hope to win our third tournament title; we have to stay focused and continue to do what we’ve done all season.”

Q: My 5-year-old is the youngest of my three children. Her older boy/girl twin siblings clearly outshine her athletically. They’re already very skilled at wakeboarding and snow skiing, for example. I think my youngest has decided that because she doesn’t measure up to her siblings, she will simply give up. All she wants to do is hang out with me. (I’m not athletic either, but everyone in the family except this one child is physically active.) Furthermore, she is disrespectful to anyone who tries to interest her in trying something new. She ignores the person, acting as if they weren’t even there. When I suggest activities, she becomes whiny and makes everyone miserable. I don’t know where to begin to start with helping her but something has to change before we all go crazy!

A: You’re obviously “psychologizing” your daughter’s behavior and responding more to your interpretation than to what she is actually doing - actually, a common tendency in today’s parent culture. From my ironically non-psychological perspective, the problem is not that because she can’t keep up with her older siblings your daughter has “just decided

Living

children

There’s an ‘odd duck’ child in every family

to give up;” the problem is that she’s often rude and disrespectful. She completely tunes out people who are talking to her, for example.

You think you need to “help” her. I think you need to discipline her. However unwittingly and with good intentions, you’re making excuses for and therefore enabling her misbehavior.

Her rehabilitation begins with treating people with respect. I recommend that you put her on my celebrated “Three Strikes You’re Out!” program. She receives a strike whenever she is disrespectful or whines. When she is disrespectful toward others or whines disruptively, she receives a strike. Each of the first two strikes of the day result in 15 minutes

of time-out. The third strike of the day results in her spending the remainder of the day in her room and going to bed immediately after supper.

The second phase of her rehabilitation involves a change in your behavior. Stop “suggesting” activities to her. Find something you would like to do with her, and tell her, declaratively, “This is what I’ve decided you and I are doing today.” If she objects, tell her she has no choice in the matter. The activities in question should not involve her siblings and should not be things they already excel at. That will prevent unfavorable comparisons. I’m talking about mother-daughter things. Start slow. Take walks through parks or on nature trails, for example. Graduate from there to leisurely bike rides. The key is finding activities she can enjoy without having to compete.

By the way, there’s an “odd duck” child in nearly every family. The challenge, always, is helping the child find a pond she feels comfortable swimming in.

V a l e n t i n e ’ s weekend is here and occasionally, even the most dedicated outdoorsman needs to reward his spouse for her understanding of those last few months of manly activities. A cross-country road trip can be fun, interesting and exciting, as well as just the ticket to an eventful time together. They can also be boring, tiresome and expensive, so here are 5 tips to make your trip a memorable experience.G e t e v e r y o n e

invo lved in the planning

When taking the family with mixed ages and interests, i t c an make the drive more bearable i f e v e r y o n e h a s something to look forward to along the way to keep the trip exciting. Look over your route and see if

there are any points of interest. On a trip to Niagara Falls we planned our lunch break at the New River Gorge Bridge in West Virginia, and then stayed in a hotel two blocks away from a haunted cemetery in Pennsylvania.Prepare your vehicle

Before you leave

Don’t forget to reward your loving spouseBill Howard’s

Outdoors

make sure you check your vehicle’s tire pressures and fluid levels. If you are making a 2,000 mile round trip and your oil change is due in 1,000 miles, get it serviced early. When planning your trip do an online check of gas prices in the different states you pass through. For instance, filling up in South Carolina when you still have a quarter of a tank of gas can save nearly 50 cents per gallon over fill-ups in North Carolina or Georgia.Take periodic stops, not frequent breaks

It is important to take breaks, but not too many. Usually a stop every two to three hours allows the body to stretch and stay alert. People with ailments such as diabetes may need those stops closer to the two hour mark to prevent swollen feet and legs and help with blood circulation. A hunting trip to North Dako ta w i th my father included stops at nearly every Bass Pro Shop, Cabela’s and Gander Mountain along the way, which was conveniently spaced about every two hours of drive time. Another trip involved us stopping at each state line rest stop we passed and getting photos next to the welcome signs.Ride comfortably and pack smart

You have to be comfortable on a long road trip or it will wear you down quickly. Wear slip on shoes while driving so you can remove and put them on easily. Do not keep your wallet in your back pocket in order to prevent a tired and hurting tush. Keep items you can use on the trip near hand while packing clothes and beauty items in the trunk or storage compartments. Keep

a small cooler with drinks and snacks nearby.Change the return route

Make i t a t rue adventure. If you can alter the return route without losing too much time or miles, it will keep things fresh for the whole trip. New places to stop and explore and different scenery will make everyone happier. One trip we planned carried us through mountains and Amish country on a weekday while heading towards our destination, while the return trip was along the East coast passing through New York City, Baltimore and Washington D.C. during the weekend, avoiding traffic woes.

And if the cross-country trip doesn’t w o r k o u t f o r a Valentine’s surprise for her, just make sure you don’t buy her a toaster or new ironing board. That probably will not work out very well. In fact, you may receive a gift from her afterwards that resembles a to-do list that will last you through next year’s Valentine’s day.
