Polk commissioners settle on ¼ cent tax decrease

by Leah Justice

Despite losing an approximate $100,000 in property tax revenue following a county equalization and review (E&R) appeal decision, Polk County commissioners gave consensus May 20 to drop the property tax rate by ¼ cent.

Commissioners met Monday for a recessed budget work session. The board last week was considering a ½ cent tax cut, which would have cost approximately $131,745, but following the estimated $100,000 loss in property tax revenue, commissioners could

no longer make up the difference.

The E&R board met last week and reached decisions on appeals from Bright’s Creek Development and Woodland Mills. The property value appeal for Bright’s Creek (Continued on page 4)

• Tax decrease (continued from page 1)

Licensed • Insured • Affordable

originally requested for $125 million in assessed value to be reduced to $23 million. If approved the change would have meant an estimated $500,000 loss in property tax revenue for the county.

Commissioners held budget work sessions last week and by making various cuts to the proposed budget for fiscal year 2013-2014, found approximately $134,336 to put towards a tax decrease.

One penny of the tax rate equals $263,940, so commissioners considered reducing the property tax rate by ½ cent. Following the E&R decision, commissioners were left with $34,336 extra in the budget so they decided to delete a previous commitment of $37,000 to farmland preservation in order to come up with $71,336 to do a ¼ cent tax decrease. It will take $65,985 in order to do a ¼ cent tax decrease with the remaining $5,351 going into next year’s manager’s discretion fund.

Once commissioners reviewed the estimated loss in revenues from the appeals, commissioner chair Michael Gage asked if there was anywhere else the board could squeeze the budget to come up with a tax decrease.

Commissioner Keith Holbert said the county could take the tax decrease out of fund balance, but commissioner Tom Pack disagreed.

Pack said he doesn’t mind pulling capital expenses out of fund balance because those are one-time

expenditures. For the tax decrease, Pack said, the county would have to see where it is going to cut another $100,000 in order to do a ½ cent decrease.

“I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it would take going through the budget again and seeing what we can find,” said Pack.

The farmland preservation that was cut from the budget was money set aside to purchase development rights to preserve farmland. Commissioners agreed that if the opportunity arises next year to fund farmland preservation, the county could take it case by case and fund those through its fund balance.

If given final approval next month, the county’s tax rate will be reduced from 52 cents per $100 of valuation to 51.75 cents.

The tax cut will mean an approximate $2.50 savings per year on properties worth $100,000, an approximate $5 savings on properties worth $200,000 and an approximate $7.50 on properties worth $300,000.

During the commissioners meeting following Monday’s workshop, commissioners decided to change the date when interim county manager Marche Pittman presents a balanced budget and message to the board. The meeting will now be held on Friday, May 31 at 9 a.m.

Following the May 31 meeting the county hold a flag dedication at the department of social services building in Mill Spring scheduled for 10 a.m.

A budget public hearing is scheduled for June 10 at 7 p.m.

Saluda pays off land early for almost $3k savings

by Leah Justice

The City of Saluda decided to use fund balance to pay off the city parking lot parcels early.

Saluda Commissioners met May 13 and approved the expenditure, which will save the city $2,890. Saluda Finance Officer Ron Cole said the city’s current fund balance is at approximately 40 percent of its general fund, or $378,311.

The city took out the loans for two parcels of land that is used as a parking lot for both school bus drop-offs and the

over 8,400 acres is amazing. I’d like to see that number greatly increased in the coming few years.

W i t h the help of willing landowners and a community that supports the efforts of the conservancy, this goal can certainly be attained!”

PAC, the Pacolet Area Conservancy is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization (land trust) founded in

weekly farmers market. The loans were taken out in December 2007 and January 2008, for $43,750 for each parcel, or $87,500 total. The loans were received at a 4.1 percent interest.

The city owed $15,467 remaining on each loan, and paid off the balance last week totaling $30,935.

Commissioners agreed that the payoff was the best decision for the city, especially considering if the city needs to take out another loan, it could do so for less than 4.1 percent interest.

PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agreements) which enable, landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources: open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland and stream banks . . . saving the places you love.

Yours

What does 1/4 of a cent tax decrease mean to you?

Sure, we’d all like for the government - local, state or national – to possess a little less of our money.

We all likely cringe when we read the amount taken out of each paycheck or as we sign the check for property taxes.

But do you think you’d really notice if you had to pay in 1/4 of a cent less? Would you be able to do something in your life that made a significant impact with that amount of money?

Or would you prefer to have another social worker at DSS, another deputy in the sheriff’s office or another EMT responding to emergencies.

While we couldn’t get all of these for $66,000, we could have had some of these positions – all of which better secure our safety – funded. Another DSS social worker might keep more families together or prevent a custody dispute from turning ugly and causing a safety concern at one of our schools. Another deputy might assist keeping our streets safer without spreading our sheriff’s department so thin.

There’s also the fact that this money almost could have amounted to enough to fund employee raises for an entire year instead of the half year included in the proposed county budget. Those raises would likely mean more to the families who serve us in a variety of capacities each day than $2-$5 would mean to many of us.

There are many other items in the budget that lost funding or didn’t receive the additional help they requested within the process. While we appreciate the idea and all, this is not the time to give a tax break simply for the sake of giving a tax break.

After all, the price of a happy meal is not worth bypassing opportunities to improve our community’s safety nor the quality of life we all could enjoy.

Sprague not “run out”; know facts “If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs . . .”

When I see the continuous barrage of unfounded criticisms of the commissioners on the pages of the newspaper, I am reminded of a poignant poem titled “IF.” It was written by Rudyard Kipling many years ago, but the values espoused in the poem have not changed.

Here is the first stanza from the poem, “IF”.

“If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies.

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating.

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise; Later in the poem, he says: . . . If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, . . .

It would behoove us to keep these principles in mind as we consider the various issues that come before the board of commissioners.

Lynn Sprague, director of Agricultural Economic Development in Polk County, has done a tremendous job for this county. Look at the number of new farmers selling their products at the various farmers- markets.

Feel the momentum and sense of community when you talk to the people growing the food that you eat. Many of us have attended classes at the ag center to learn more about forestry, gardening, planting, growing and various other topics of interest.

When I heard that he was leaving for another job, I was shocked and saddened. I wish Lynn well in his new position and I hope that Polk County replaces him with another sparkplug type leader.

I have talked with each of the accused commissioners, and I have heard the facts. I have talked with them individually, and separately – not in a group.

Their statements “ring true” and are based on the actual facts.

These Republican commissioners did not “run Lynn out of town!”

Unfortunately, when I read a letter sent by a disgruntled Renee McDermott, a former commissioner, concerning Lynn Sprague, I was disappointed to see the vitriol aimed at the Republican commissioners. I would say that she “just doesn’t get it.”

I appears that, without any facts, she can make statements that she knows to be untrue. She shows that she is out of touch with the will of the majority of Polk County constituents.

She makes these statements, obviously, for political reasons – that is unfortunate.

Don’t believe everything you read in the letters to the editor in newspapers or emails you receive. Seek out the facts. Attend the commissioner meetings.

Do your own homework.

Base your beliefs on facts, not on the emotions surrounding the issues.

Jeanette Page Jeanette Page, devoted wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother was called home to be with the Lord on May 20, 2013 at home surrounded by family.

Born March 23, 1933 in Lynn, N.C., Jeanette was the daughter of the late William “Pappy” and Florence Cochran Dedman.

Jeanette was the widow of George W. Page who passed away in 2007. They were happily married for 55 years where they shared a loving home in Landrum, S.C. since 1958 and raised three children together.

She is predeceased by three

brothers and one sister. Monte “Doc” Dedman, William “Bill” Dedman of Columbus, Sill Dedman and Nell Ravan of Lynn, N.C. Throughout her life she maintained a sweet demeanor and kindness that won the trust and hearts of everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was always filled with happiness and wanted to give more than she received. Her generosity will always be remembered and her laughter and smile will never leave our memories.

She always remained positive and doctor’s referred to her as “Very Remarkable” during her fight with cancer. Her passion for life and dedicated faith blessed loved ones more time with her than expected and allowed her to see her greatgrandson, Mitchell Carter Page, born in January.

She was a member of Morgan Chapel Baptist Church and during her younger years she was a Sunday school teacher for the children’s Beginners Class, a Bible School teacher and assisted with the church’s benefits for many years.

A dedicated mother and grandmother, she was crafty with her sewing and crocheting skills and enjoyed cooking. She loved making homemade jelly. She also enjoyed taking care of her flowers and plants and watching the birds in her flower garden.

Surviving are two sons, Gary Page and Mitch Page of Landrum; one daughter, Cindy Page Atkins (Calvin) of Columbus; one grandson, Adam Page (Summer) of Landrum; one great-grandson, Carter Page of Landrum. Three step-grandchildren, Jamie Atkins

Dandelions once were staple foodstuffs for people Before dandelions became the scourge of well-manicured lawns and picture-perfect, equestrian pastures, the rugged, colorful and masterful plants were staple foodstuffs of our ancestors.

Some biblical authorities consider them to be one of the first “bitter herbs” mentioned in the Old Testament. Tradition says that dandelions were, perhaps, the first green food that Adam and Eve ate after being banished from the Garden of Eden.

Dandelions were brought to the New World by early colonists and were profusely cultivated around their settlements.

The rugged, fast-growing plants were eaten both raw and cooked, and were used in making a coffee-like hot drink and wine.

The leaves contain more vitamins and minerals than many other leafy plants. They were favorite salad builders, sometimes mixed with leaves of yellow dock, or were added as sprigs to cooked vegetables as seasoning.

There were several well-liked recipes for dandelions in the Dark Corner. A few oldsters still prepare them, even today.

Young, tender leaves are gathered early in the morning and wiped clean with a watersoaked cloth, instead of heavy washing in water.

A couple of fatback strips are rendered in a frying pan under low heat. Then, two or three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar are added to the pan before pouring the mixture over the leaves and adding salt and pepper.

Another version is slightly browning small onion pieces in butter or olive oil in a frying pan, adding tablespoons of cider vinegar and pouring over the leaves.

Top the wilted leaves with slices of hard boiled eggs.

Leaves, both larger and tender young ones, are boiled as vegetables and served like

spinach, seasoned with cider in boiling water, a delightful, vinegar, salt and pepper.

Plant them as thick as they will fit into flower pots, in any kind of garden soil, with the crowns on a level with the edge of the pots.

Give the crowns one good watering to settle the soil around the roots. When they have drained, set the pots away in any corner of a completely dark, warm cellar. After a time, depending on the temperature, you will find that the dandelions will send up shoots of stark whiteness.

When the shoots are three to four inches high, they are cut and made into a fresh salad that is colorful and crisp, with a delicious nutty flavor.

For a nostalgic, flavorful foodstuff experience this summer, find some wild dandelions (where you have never sprayed Roundup) and try some of these ancestral recipes.

Ly-Nard Hills qualifies four for Devon beginning May 23

by Kirk Gollwitzer

Four riders who compete nationally under the direction of local veteran trainer Vick Russell have qualified to take part in the Devon Horse Show May 23 – June 2 in Devon, Penn.

Each rider, according to Russell, is special in his or her own way, but all share one common trait as being aggressive. Russell considers Devon a “goal-marker” for his stable Ly-Nard Hills. How his riders and horses perform there determines his competition strategies for the rest of the year, he said.

“Every one of my riders can win everything if they get there on-key,” said Russell.

The team, consisting of three women and one man, has trained under Russell for more than 15 years and each are tough and experienced, according to Russell.

Robert Donaldson is the top

rider going into Devon and the leader in the country in the amateur-owner jumpers. Russell says Donaldson has been on fire with his Oldenburg mare, Ruby Tuesday. Donaldson, who is a Canadian citizen, worked for a royal family in Arabia for 18 years as a consultant in the equestrian sports world.

Helen Landon Terranova recently moved to Memphis, Tenn.

Russell refers to Terranova as his “road-warrior,” who rides with an aggressive passion and takes her performances extremely personal.

“She always goes in very worried and internalizes everything,” said Russell.

Lily Hahn is Russell’s only rider from the Tryon area, but a familiar face and past winner at Devon. She will not be riding the

horse she had planned because of an injury, but has qualified her amateur-owner hunter, Paddington.

“She is going there on her hunter but has previously won on a jumper,” Russell said.

Russell speaks highly of Hahn’s family, who he has worked with

for 40 years.

Anne Bingler will be riding her big grey mare, Tanimara. Bingler hails from Orlando, Fla., and is also a practicing attorney. Russell said Bingler is a fierce competitor who has many great wins under her belt, including a third place

finish in the $50,000 Roanoke Grand Prix.

The Devon Horse Show and Country Fair is an annual horse show, which began in 1896 and is considered to be the largest and oldest multi-breed outdoor horse show in the U.S.
