Polk proposes ½ cent tax cut; Mill Spring/Saluda Fire increases

Budget workshop recessed until today at 5 p.m. by Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners are taking a different approach

this year in balancing next year’s budget with the board going line by line last week in an attempt to cut the budget and possibly taxes. Commissioners met last Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, May 13, 14 and 16 to hear requests from departments and ended with

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties

a proposal to cut ½ cent per $100 of valuation off the tax rolls. With cuts, commissioners ended up bringing the budget to $134,336 to the positive, which would allow the county to give a ½ cent tax cut. One penny in Polk (Continued on page 3)

(continued from page 1)

County’s tax rate equals approximately $263,940. Commissioner Ray Gasperson said he doesn’t think people will notice a ½ cent decrease one way or another. “It’s $5 per a $100,000 value (home),” Gasperson said. A ½ cent tax decrease would mean an approximate $5 savings on a home valued at $100,000, a $10 savings on a home valued at $200,000 and a $15 savings on a home valued at $300,000. Commissioner chair Michael Gage said he’s not opposed to a half-cent decrease. He said anything to go back to the people. Commissioner Tom Pack said he’s tried to give a tax decrease for years and years, with commissioner Keith Holbert saying he’s watched boards for years say they couldn’t give a tax cut when it usually turns out they could have. The board also agreed to increase tax rates for the Mill Spring

and Saluda Fire Departments and to grant a 10 percent increase in funding for the Polk County Rescue Squad. Commissioners began with $442,642 worth of capital requests from departments and narrowed the list to $435,542. Commissioners are considering paying for all capital, or one-time expenses, out of its the approximate $6 million fund balance for next year. The county also considered a 2.5 percent employee increase for next year’s budget, which begins July 1, but decided to cut the expense in half and grant the raises on Jan. 1, 2014 instead of the beginning of the fiscal year. Commissioners met with county fire departments, the rescue squad and the Foothills Humane Society (FHS) on Thursday, May 16. Fire department increases Saluda Fire Chief Shane Bradley presented his department’s budget requesting a one-cent tax increase from 6.5 cents per $100 of valuation to 7.5 cents. Bradley

Polk County Commissioners are considering restructuring rates at Gibson Park Pool in order to more accurately reflect costs. Commissioners meet today at 5 p.m. to continue discussions from last week. (photo by Leah Justice)

said his department received a grant years ago to help pay for paid employees and it is now time for the department to retain all costs. He said his department has done everything they can to make cuts, including in fuel, out of town training and tightening up everywhere they can. He said last year the

grant paid for $21,000 worth of employees. Gage said even with the increase the Saluda Fire Department will be operating next year with less revenue than this year. Chris Osborn met with com(Continued on page 4)

missioners regarding the Mill Spring Fire Department’s requested budget. Osborn said Mill Spring has made up revenues by holding fundraisers and applying for grants but grants are slowing down. Mill Spring fire department requested a one-cent tax increase last year but were turned down by the board because the department did not have a recent audit. The fire department has since done an audit and commissioners are discussing revisiting fire department contracts to incorporate a requirement that departments receive an annual CPA certification, which is less expensive than an audit. Osborn also spoke of some needs in the Mill Spring Fire Department, including the need to replace two tankers. One tanker, he said, is very small because it was purchased when Lake Adger was developed. Owens said he was in favor of granting the 1.5-cent tax increase because the one-cent increase was denied last year. If the proposed budget gets final approval next month, the Mill Spring fire tax will increase from five cents per $100 of valuation to 6.5 cents. No increases were requested for Harmon Field or the Columbus, Green Creek, Tryon or Sunny View Fire Departments. The board granted a 10 percent increase in funding for the Polk County Rescue Squad. The county funding for the rescue squad will increase from $63,999 to $70,308. FHS request denied Commissioners turned down a request from the Foothills Humane Society. FHS Executive Director Selena Coffey presented the request to commissioners asking for funding to increase from $97,200 annually to $111,780. Coffey said in the two years since the contract with the county was negotiated, FHS has not requested an increase, while its operational expenses have increased exponentially and the shelter has seen consistently increasing animal intakes.

5/1/13 8:43 AM

Gasperson said he was in favor of the increase, stating that the service is the “bargain of bargains for the county.” “I think it’s conceivable we’d have to do a two to three cent tax increase to do our own (shelter),” Gasperson said. After consensus from the remainder of the board, chair Gage said the county will keep the funding the same. Recreation/pool budget Commissioners recessed the May 16 workshop until today, Monday, May 20 at 5 p.m. During the recessed workshop commissioners are scheduled to discuss the recreation budget, where the board has asked director Patty Aldred to return with costs to run the pool specifically. Commissioners could consider increases for summer day camp and the pool or adjustments where some users could see increases and others could see decreases. Pack said the county needs to look at actual costs of running the services and adjust fees accordingly. For example, Pack said he had problems with how swimming lessons are charged, where currently it may cost $55 for the first child and if the children are in the same household, the other children get lessons for much less per child. Older children’s swim lessons are currently at $55 for the first child, $75 if there are two children and $85 for three children. Water baby lessons cost less than older children because of the number of classes available. “The more people you have the cheaper per person,” Pack said. “That just doesn’t make any sense. If you have a family with four children, you’re getting a heck of a deal over someone with one child.” The same discussion occurred over summer day camp fees where for one week one child pays $70, then a family with two children pays $90 per week and a family with three children pays $110 per week. “I think we need to do a cost study,” Pack said, “not if it’s fair or not. I know if you have more children they need a break, but we (Continued on page 6)

need to sit down and do a study and look at the numbers.” Commissioners began their discussion after seeing that Gibson Park Pool loses about $25,000 annually. The majority of commissioners said they don’t expect the pool to break even or make money but do want a better reflection of actual costs to run the pool. Interim county manager Marche Pittman suggested to the recreation department that maybe they structure the fees based on 80 percent of the costs knowing the county will absorb 20 percent of the costs. Commissioner Gasperson said the county needs to look at the rec department as offering a service. He said many parents are extremely tight on their money and commissioners could look at other services, such as the county recreation park that doesn’t even charge fees. “I think we need to be realistic here,” Gasperson said. Owens said the county is just trying to figure out what it costs. “Just like the rumor got out

we’re going to stop the pool and stop recycling,” Owens said. “Let’s find out what it’s costing to do this service and see where we go from there. That’s business.” If any changes to recreation fees are made they will not likely go into affect until next year. On recycling, commissioners had discussed options to make up a $30,000 deficit. Commissioners decided last week to on a trial basis begin sending the mobile recycling unit to Green Greek once every other week instead of weekly in an attempt to save money. The new schedule for Green Creek will likely begin in July. The centers in Tryon, Saluda and Columbus will not change. The proposed budget is also increasing tipping fees at the transfer station. The tipping fees will increase from the current $42 per ton to $43 per ton beginning on July 1 and to $44 per ton beginning on Jan. 1, 2014. Commissioners will hold a special meeting on May 30 for Pittman to present the budget following changes made last week and any decisions made at today’s meeting.

Getfitted brings 20 years of formal fashion expertise to Tryon by Samantha Hurst

When sewing is your passion no challenge is too large. Joy Southern, owner of Getfitted Boutique in the lower level of the Shops at Tryon, began sewing at 14 years old. “I want the hard stuff and welcome the challenge,” she said. “Easy alterations aren’t as exciting for me. I’ll do them, of course, but I love to fix something for someone that no one else can do.” Like altering a 60-year-old antique wedding dress to fit a modern bride. Southern recently did just that for a bride who wanted to wear the same dress that was passed down from her grandmother to her mother and on to her. Southern isn’t afraid of the so-called bridezillas. She takes on these customers with a level of patience only a seasoned seamstress might posses. “I love working with a girl to make her dress fit perfectly,” Southern said. “I don’t mind if they are picky. If something is not right, I have to fix it; that is important to me.” She also delights in helping a young woman find the perfect new dress for her big wedding day, prom, homecoming or cocktail party. She said every woman should have the chance to feel beautiful. Trying to find the perfect dress in this area can be challenging and time consuming though, Southern said. “This boutique is really filling a need in the area,” said Joy’s husband, Mike. “Plus

she’s got the creativeness and eye for fashion that makes it all work.” Getfitted carries cocktail/ party dresses, as well as bridesmaid and wedding dresses. Southern said she can even order dresses for women who don’t find exactly what they want in the store. Getfitted is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 a.m. – 5 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday from 11:30 a.m. – 7 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Saluda Business Association launches ‘Saluda Adventure Guide’ The Saluda Business Association wants the community and visitors to this small mountain village to experience the outdoors in Saluda and has published the first “Saluda Adventure Guide.” Highlighting Saluda trails and the Green River Gorge, the guide is a very colorful 12”x 25” two sided map with hiking trails, road bike trails, whitewater adventures, and other recreation activities that pass through or around Saluda. The map will fold down to a 3”x5” pocket size booklet, with a durable cover. For the less “adventurous,” opportunities featured include walking and driving routes, birding and wildflower sites, and the best scenic views in Saluda. Thirty-five Saluda businesses sponsored the funding of the guide along with contributions from Polk County Economic Development, the City of Saluda and the Saluda Business Associa-

tion. The guides will sell for $2 and will be available from business sponsors by early June. An online Flipbook will soon follow and be accessible at saluda.com/ adventureguide. “The Saluda Adventure Guide has been in the SBA long-range marketing plan for more than three years. With the opening of The Gorge™, and more attention given to whitewater adventures on the Green River, and other multi-sport events, this is the perfect time to publish this guide,” says SBA spokesperson. Carolina Blue Design Group, Hendersonville designed and illustrated the guide and maps. Saluda abounds with natural assets. It’s our duty to the heritage of Saluda to celebrate and promote its artistic culture, historic buildings, and the natural beauty of our mountains and waterfalls. – article submitted by Cathy Jackson

Singer/actress Queen Latifah’s dad visits Tryon Lance Owen, father of Dana Owens, better known as Queen Latifah was in Tryon recently to visit his friend Anthony Suber, who recently moved back to Tryon. Lance Owens and Anthony became friends while shooting the movie, “Joyful Noise” a couple of years ago. Queen Latifah produced and starred in the movie with Dolly Parton. Suber was also on the crew for the first two seasons of the VHI series Single Ladies, also produced by Queen Latifah. Lance Owens is an integral part of the production team, with Suber saying he was flattered that Mr. Owens would take the time to visit him and his family in Tryon. Lance Owens is a former police detective and Vietnam veteran who resides in the Pocono Mountain Region in Penn-

sylvania. Owens said Tryon is a beautiful place and was shocked to learn that it is the birthplace of Nina Simone, of whom he is a big fan and coincidentally whose family he is familiar with in the Poconos. Lance Owens also met Sarah Miller, who is Suber’s mother. “(Lance Owens) is a charming man who seems he has never met a stranger,” said Sarah Miller. Suber said Lance and Dana Owens and their family are good people and when they invited him to the Poconos they treated him like a star while he stayed at Lance Owens’ estate there. Lance Owens will be returning to Tryon soon to research this area as well as the Asheville area more. - article submitted by Roy Miller

TFAC continues annual fund drive through the end of May TFAC is currently midway into a fund drive to raise $75,000 to support the operation of the 44-year-old community facility. “The arts belong to everyone, but providing high quality programming including music, visual art, and education, comes at a cost,” said Executive Director Beth Child. “Tryon Fine Arts Center strives to bring award-winning music, arts education for toddlers to teens, world class visual arts exhibits and provide facilities for our patrons to be entertained, to be educated, and to be stimulated.” As with many arts organizations, much of the programming is offered free of charge or at low cost, and tickets sold for events don’t cover costs. According to the national arts advocacy group, Americans for the Arts, the top reason to support the arts is that they represent “true prosperity . . . The arts are fundamental to our humanity. They ennoble and inspire us fostering creativity, goodness, and beauty. The arts help us express our values, build bridges between cultures, and bring us together regardless of ethnicity, religion or age. When times are tough, art is salve for the ache.” In the month of May the staff and volunteers of Tryon Fine Arts Center are presenting a variety of visual and performing arts programs and events. Besides Sculpture 2013, a campus wide juried sculpture show, there are Kindermusik classes in the center and in the schools, a painting

Patrons, volunteers and artists mixed and mingled at the recent opening of Sculpture 2013, hosted by Tryon Fine Arts Center. This exhibit, which runs through May 30, was spearheaded by volunteers and supported by donations and sponsors. Tryon Fine Arts Center is currently running an Annual Fund Drive to raise $75,000 to support the diverse programming offered by the center.

class for motivated high school students, and a grand-opening of the new amphitheater and grounds featuring free professional entertainment. The center is also offering funding opportunities for local educators, creating a directory of creative artists in the area, and providing an arts immersion day

for elementary students. Patrons can enjoy exciting professional entertainment from family entertainer Billy Jonas as well as the award-winning blue grass band Steep Canyon Rangers. Programming involves partnerships with other organizations such as Children’s Theater Festival, Tryon Arts and Crafts, Tryon

Little Theater, Polk County and Spartanburg County Schools, Tryon Riding & Hunt Club and local galleries. To find out more about the programs at Tryon Fine Arts Center or to contribute to the Annual Fund campaign, visit www.tryonarts. org or call 828-859-8322. - article submitted

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Introduction to Geocachingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at Walnut Creek Preserve On May 25, PAC Volunteer Wally Hughes will present an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Introduction to Geocachingâ&#x20AC;? at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve at 10 a.m. Geocaching is a free, realworld, outdoor treasure hunt. Using a smartphone or GPS, participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates, trying to locate hidden containers, called geocaches. Players can then share their experiences online. This is a great way to get out and explore in the local area and abroad, and a great way to figure out how to use your GPS. To get to Walnut Creek Preserveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nature Center from the Tryon and Columbus area, take Hwy. 108 E and turn left on Hwy. 9 toward Lake Lure. Follow Hwy. 9 N for 5 miles and turn right onto McGuinn Road (at the Exxon station). Go 1 mile to the intersection with Big Level Road; turn left, go 2/10ths of a mile and take the first right onto Aden Green Road. Follow Aden green for 4/10ths of a mile and turn left on Herbarium Lane and into Walnut Creek Preserve. Take the first left onto Conservatory Lane, which takes you to the parking area for the nature
