Saluda ordinance back to planning board City leaders debate home occupation definition by Samantha Hurst

Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:

Saluda commissioners tabled a vote Monday, Jan. 17 to change the definition of “home occupation” 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 occupations. “In this period of ungodly

economic times, people are having 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.” (Continued on page 3)

DSS building construction begins County hopes to move into new building in August by Leah Justice

Weather stalled construction 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

Bruce Campbell disagreed. “I fully believe in supporting 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 property. 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 business 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 connection with said use there shall not be more than one person not a resident on the premises who is employed specifically in connection with the home business or occupation. No mechanical

One man's trash is another's treasure 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.

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 centered 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 department. The county approved a $1,590,755 bid from Able Constructors 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.

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 Energy 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 reimbursement rate. Polk will finance an estimated $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 (Continued on page 7)

10 Notice from towN of columbus

Grease iNterceptors Grease traps or interceptors are passive devices required by municipalities 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 discharging grease into the municipal sewer system. Grease interceptors must receive wastewater from all contributory sources, such as pot sinks, dishwashers, 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 fitted 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 dedicate 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 plumber. 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 information 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

Humanity and the importance of jazz Editor’s note: In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Crys Armbrust submitted the following 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 endowed 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 offers 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 championed 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. Everybody 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.

so-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 understand 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 common sense for a blip in the profit margin? After puzzling over the absurdity 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 position it is a small jump to get over that $250,000 line and thus congressmen 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 infrastructure, or to clean up hazardous waste sites, or to work in the National 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 owner 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.
