Patty Presnell of Carolina Drive was in for quite a surprise Wednesday afternoon. A small bear had wandered down Melrose Mountain to get a bite of her birdseed and take a look around her yard and deck. Presnell banged on her porch railing but the bear didn't leave. After a while, full of birdseed, the bear ambled off into the woods and back up the mountain. (photos submitted)

Columbus eyes cuts for 2011 Fab 4th Council plans other cuts; special meeting Wednesday by Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus still has no adopted budget for next fiscal year and is working to cut some items, including expenses for the 2011 Fabulous Fourth celebration.

Council held a meeting last Thursday and discussed in length what could be cut from the proposed budget in an attempt to eliminate a proposed two-cent tax increase. There was no discussion last week of eliminating a proposed 20 percent water and sewer rate increase from the budget. Columbus set a special meeting for this Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

to finish discussing and to adopt the new budget, which begins July 1. Council has struggled to find further ways to cut the budget, but did come to a consensus to look at cutting future expenses for the 4th of July celebration for next year. The upcoming Fabulous Fourth will run as (Continued on page 4)

Heavy rains stall Polk adult day care opening by Leah Justice

Recent rains have put a real damper on Polk County’s adult day care center opening. Construction has been near complete for a while, but paving cannot be done due to wet weather. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson says the wet dirt outside the facility has made it impossible to pour the road. Contractors have been waiting on dry weather to pour a driveway, cul-de-sac and parking lot for the facility. The adult day care center was once scheduled to open around mid-May, but no definite opening date has yet been set due to the delay in construction. Polk County has renovated the building behind the new Meeting Place that moved last year to the former Carolina Classical School off Skyuka Road near Columbus to house the adult day care center. The

county purchased the over 20 acre property last year and decided to move the senior center there, in an attempt to get all county departments out of the aged Jervey Palmer building in Tryon. Once the new property was purchased, the community rallied to begin an adult day care center in Polk, and commissioners decided to provide the building. The county approved a lease last year to contract running the center out to Rutherford Life Services, which runs a similar facility in Rutherford County. The county will provide the building, but all services, employment and liability will be handled by Rutherford Life Services. The adult day care center will be named after Betsy and Don Freeman. Betsy Freeman was instrumental in getting an adult day care center in Polk County as Don was in need

of one. Don Freeman died last year as renovations to the building were underway. Whitson said this week that contractors were ready to go

with paving the driveway about two weeks ago when the constant rain began. He said the problem is that the dirt will not compact

usual as most expenses have already been paid out of the current year budget. Councilman Richard Hall posed the idea of cutting expenses for the festival, saying that it used to be run by the community with much less money. He spoke of $31,650 in expenses being too much for a small town festival. “Let’s find a new way to do it,” Hall said. “Let’s bring the churches back with the ice cream and get rid of the carnival atmosphere.” Hall suggested that the town could still run the festival, but cut out the entertainment and invite local muscicians to come and “pick” like the festival used to be. “This is the hard times right now,” Hall said. “This is like the 1930s. The 1950s will come back later.” Council directed assistant finance officer Kathy Gregory to make as many cuts from the 4th of July budget for the 2011 festival, as well as to make a 25 percent cut in the office supply budget for administration, which is currently at $9,000. Gregory and town attorney Bailey Nager also plan to negotiate with Zambelli, which contracts to do the Fabulous Fourth firework show, to try to get out of the next two years of the contract to eliminate future fireworks at the festival. Gregory said she’d be glad to go through the budget and make what cuts she can for next year, but “let me tell you, this won’t last forever. We’re going to the well,” speaking of the possibility of having to use fund balance to cover the budget. Gregory was directed to cut the office supply budget, the fourth of July expenses for

jbtrees - page 10

next year as well as Christmas display expenses and work on getting out of the firework contract for future years. Next month’s festival, to be held July 3, will have entertainment and fireworks. Columbus’ current proposed budget is for a total of $1.063,597 at a 41 cent tax rate. The town’s current tax rate is at 39 cents per $100 of valuation. Council also discussed last week how almost one cent of the tax increase is for the fire department, which the county approved. The county agreed to redistrict the fire service areas with Columbus’ fire department projected to receive over $31,000 less in revenue next year, so the county agreed to a 7/10 of a cent tax increase to make up the difference. It is not clear if Columbus will increase its tax rate by one cent, two cents or remain at 39 cents and absorb the fire department’s tax increase. Council agreed to decide the final details on Wednesday. The water and sewer increases will likely stand as council and staff have said that the town received a letter from the N.C. Local Goverment Commission last year and expect a worse letter this year for dipping into fund blance to cover expenses in the enterprise fund. The town is looking at taking approximately $70,000 out of its enterprise fund balance to cover the current year overages for water and sewer. The town has not definitely decided yet if that 20 percent increase will be across the board or accomplished by charging higher rates to commercial than residential. One proposal on the table is to increase commercial rates by 25 percent and residential rates by five percent.

due to it being so wet underneath. A covered drop off point for clients is also awaiting construction. All inside renovations have been complete, including renovating bathrooms and adding a shower inside as well as adding a sprinkler system. Whitson estimated that once

the outside work can begin, it should take about three months to complete. Whitson said he plans to speak with contractors soon to see if something can be done to get the dirt dry and started as soon as possible. County officials have expressed their eagerness to get the center open due to what they say is a great need in the county.

Polk BOE to use capital outlay funds to offset budget cuts

The Polk County Board of Education approved a $312,000 capital outlay budget for 2010-11 last week, but only $162,000 was allocated for capital improvements. The remaining $150,000 was diverted from capital projects to offset budget cuts from the state and federal levels. “This is one of the things we could do to keep from laying people off and to keep from cutting our programs for children,” said Polk County Schools Superintendent William Miller. Miller said he does not know how much state and federal funding the school system will receive for the 2010-11 fiscal year. Of the $162,000 that remains in the capital outlay budget, $60,000 will go into a general fund for any needed work or renovations on all Polk County schools.

furnmedix - page 3

The district will apply for lottery funds from the state’s education lottery to cover the largest expenditure in the capital budget, $91,000 for a new roof at Polk Central Elementary School, Miller said. Other expenses will include $40,000 for a new awning at Polk Central, $25,000 for student furniture at all schools, $6,000 for athletic equipment and $6,000 for band equipment. Another $25,000 has been earmarked to create digital classrooms for fourth- and fifthgraders at Tryon Elementary School. In other business, the board approved the bid of Mid-South Timber and logger Jack Mills to clear timber for a nature trail at Polk Central. The winning bidder will pay the school system for the timber that is cleared.

District 38 GOP hopefuls get support for run-off

8 Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper Monday, June 21, 2010

Both remaining Republican candidates for S.C. House District 38 received a bit of extra support heading into Tuesday’s run-off election. Incumbent Joey Millwood received aid - if not an endorsement -- from GOP gubernatorial front-runner Nikki Haley, who was to campaign with Millwood this past Saturday. Lake Bowen businessman John Moore, the odd-man-out in the recent Republican primary, endorsed former opponent Doug Brannon of Landrum. Haley has not made any official endorsements, but called Millwood “a great friend.” “Joey Millwood has been a great friend, both to me and to the taxpayers of South Carolina since his first day in Columbia,” said Haley through a released statement. “He is a true reformer who will never back down from his conservative principles.” Brannon, who sought out Moore’s endorsement soon after the June 8 primary votes were counted, received 36 percent of the vote in the primary, just one percentage point behind Millwood’s 37 percent. “I’m very pleased, honored and humbled by John’s endorsement,” Brannon said. “The one thing I’ve repeatedly said is that I came out of this campaign with a new friend, and that’s John Moore… He’s a fine young man.” Brannon said he and Moore were more closely aligned on most key issues than himself and Millwood have been. Moore carried his home Lake Bowen precinct, and Moore is hoping those same voters will support him in the run-off. Haley and Millwood were to campaign together Saturday

evening at Nodine’s Restaurant on Highway 176 near Campobello. Brannon said he doesn’t think Haley and Millwood appearing together on a campaign stop will affect the outcome of the election. “I did well in Landrum, Campobello and Gramling, but so did Ms. Haley,” Brannon said. The people were able to vote for me in those precincts and vote for her. I don’t think the fact that she’s winking and nodding at Joey Millwood is going to change those voters minds.” Polls for the run-off election will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Local polls include Landrum United Methodist Church, Gramling United Methodist, Motlow Creek Baptist and Landrum High School. Only voters who voted in the Republican primary or registered voters who did not vote in either June 8 primary election are eligible to vote in the run-off election. While there are no Democratic contests in this run-off election, five statewide GOP elections, including governor and lieutenant governor, in addition to the District 38 seat will be decided. In the gubernatorial runoff, Nikki Haley faces U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett; for Lt. Governor, Ken Ard faces Bill Connor. Incumbent Bob Inglis faces a challenge from solicitor Trey Gowdy for U.S. House District 4. Leighton Lord and Alan Wilson are vying to run for the office of state’s attorney general, and Elizabeth Moffly and Mick Zais are in the GOP run-off for state superintendent of education. Winners of the run-off election will move on to the statewide general election on November 2.

Laurel Lake Music Society donates $1,700 to local schools

The Laurel Lake Music Society, Inc. donated $1,700 to support the music education teachers and programs in primary and middle schools in Polk County and in the Landrum Area School District this year. Modest grants were made to six schools in the area. The Saluda Elementary School, Polk Central Elementary School, Polk County Middle School, Tryon Elementary School, O.P. Earle Elementary School in Landrum and Landrum Middle School received this money. The grants were used for supplies, equipment and simple instruments that are needed for the programs but could not be paid for from the regular public school budgets. The size of each grant was related to the number of students and the needs of the school.

This activity is in addition to the scholarship awards to high school music students in the local area to attend the three week Cannon Summer Music Camp on the campus of Appalachian State University. This year a total of ten music students received these awards at a total cost of $13,700. The Laurel Lake Music Society says they are pleased to be able to continue their support for these music activities in the community. The Laurel Lake Music Society, Inc. is a non-profit charitable organization and is an IRS qualified 501(c) 3 corporation. The society is entirely funded by donations from the residents of Tryon Estates, an ACTS Retirement Life Community in Columbus. – article submitted

Article 4: Accounting basics and definitions As the nonprofit Leadership column continues the series on Management and Fiscal Accountability for Nonprofits, this article will focus on accounting basics and definitions. The nonprofit financial system is divided into two categories: activities & polices and people and institutions. Activities and policies within nonprofits include the following terms; internal controls, external controls, insurance, contracts, grants, fundraising, personnel policies, risk management, reporting, and compliance. People and institutions within nonprofits include the following terms; board of directors, treasurer, finance committee, director of finance, executive director, bookkeeper, program directors, auditor, IRS, attorney general, donors and funders. Common terms and definitions for nonprofit accounting include the following; GAAP – Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This is the most common set of accounting principles, standards and procedures that companies use to compile their financial statements. GAAP is a combination of authoritative standards (set by policy boards) and simply the commonly accepted way of recording and

reporting accounting information. SFAS 117 – Statement of Financial Accounting Standards. This is a piece of GAAP, among other things it requires nonprofits to report expenses by functional classification – cost centered accounting. Assets and Liabilities. Assets are the things the nonprofit owns (i.e. cash, furniture, vehicles, etc.). Liabilities are the bills the nonprofit owes or needs to pay (i.e. credit card charges, leases, lines of credit, anything outstanding). Revenue and Expenses. Revenue or Income is what the nonprofit earns (i.e. grants, contracts, donations, sales or rental income). Expenses are the costs that the nonprofit incurs in the course of doing their work (i.e. payroll, rent, office expenses, etc.). Net Assets. This is simply what is left after you take away what you owe (liabilities) form what you have (assets). Direct cost. Direct cost is a cost within a nonprofit that is connected to a specific activity, program or event. Indirect cost. These are costs with in a nonprofit that are not related to a specific program, activ-
