Planning board wants 3-year terms to stay by Leah Justice

Although Polk County commissioners have expressed interest in changing planning board terms from three years to two years, the planning board unanimously approved recommending that three-year terms remain in place. The planning board met Sept. 12 and approved of the commissioners’ desire

to get every township represented on the board, but said planning board members need such a lengthy learning time, twoyear terms could slow projects down. Commissioner Ted Owens was directed by the board of commissioners recently to review with staff every (planning board continued on page 4)

Timken grant repairs Outreach driveway, purchases equipment Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry (Outreach) recently received a grant for $16,000 from the Timken Foundation to repair the organization’s asphalt driveway and to purchase equipment for the newly expanded pantry. “Our driveway was degrading quite rapidly,” said Carol Newton, Outreach’s executive director. “Time and traffic took its toll and the longer we waited for repairs, the worse the situation became.” Connie Lomax, chair of Outreach’s building and grounds committee added, “Timken’s grant couldn’t have come at a better time for Outreach. We were fortunate enough to ex-

pand our pantry and make the necessary repairs to the driveway at the same time. Timken’s generous grant also allowed us to purchase equipment to help our food pantry run efficiently. We are so grateful for their support.” Outreach is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1991. The organization’s mission is to provide compassionate assistance to Polk County residents who are unable to provide for their basic life needs. For more information about Outreach, visit www.tboutreach.org or call 828-894-2988. – article submitted by Wendy Thomas

volunteer board and see if any changes are needed. Owens attended the planning board meeting and said Polk has 31 boards, with one committee that hasn’t met in almost a year. He said the county is thinking the planning board should coincide with commissioner terms, which would require planning board members to serve two-year terms instead of three-year terms. Owens also said at first commissioners wanted planning board members to be able to serve two consecutive two-year terms, but after commissioners Tom Pack and Michael Gage met with a couple of planning board members, commissioners approve of planning board members serving three consecutive terms before taking a year off. That would mean a member could serve up to six years consecutively, Owens said. Commissioners have said their main goal is to get all six townships represented on the planning board. Polk’s planning board consists of seven members and one alternate. The current board includes three members from Columbus, one member from Green Creek, two from White Oak, one from Saluda and the alternate from Columbus. There is currently no representation from Tryon or Coopers Gap. Planning board chair Bill Ennis said trying to get representation from each township is a great move, but a planning board member is not a productive member for a couple of years; a year and ½ at least. Planning board member David Smith said if the planning board is working on a big topic, a new member could be asking questions that were answered a year ago, slowing things down considerably. “So what I’m hearing is we’re all in favor of trying to get members from each township, but the others,” Ennis said, “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” Planning board member

“Planning board members could be a hot political item and it shouldn’t be. It should be everything but that.” -- Commissioner Ray Gasperson

Christel Walters said keeping the longer terms would also mean less advertising needed for the county. After going back and forth about what time of year new members should be appointed, the planning board also recommended that commissioners keep the current terms, from Nov. 1 through Oct. 31. Commissioners had said they want the planning board terms to be from Jan. 1 through Dec. 31. Commissioner Ray Gasperson, who also attended the planning board meeting, said keeping the terms away from December, which is when new commissioners are sworn in every two years, is a good idea because it would take the discussion away from elections. “Planning board members could be a hot political item and it shouldn’t be,” Gasperson said. “It should be everything but that.” Smith said politics are always going to come into play, but the county should minimize it with the planning board. The planning board also discussed with commissioner Owens how to get the word out in the county that vacancies from certain townships are available. Owens said he has discussed with staff the possibility of getting the word out through churches, since not everyone reads the Tryon Daily Bulletin where the county advertises vacancies. Some planning board members said they did see advertisements in the paper when they first applied while others said someone from the county contacted them to apply. Commissioners have already set a public hearing regarding amending the planning board ordinance for Oct. 7 at 7 p.m.

The class will meet at the Skyuka Fine Art gallery and paint outdoors in the area from 9 a.m.- 4 p.m. each day. Artists will work from life to grasp the fundamentals of painting the landscape. According to Nelson, “We will paint the beautiful NC foothills for five days, just as the greens are fading to red and gold.” This workshop is open to all levels and all media, but oil will be emphasized. The Nelsons will also host a dinner at their home

Choosing the right business entity

Read more online at www.tryondailybulletin.com

One of the most important decisions a business owner will make is the selection of the legal structure or form of the business. Typically, the choice of the proper business entity will be determined by three factors: taxes, personal liability and extent of formality and documentation required. Generally, the choices for the typical entrepreneur will be a sole proprietorship, a corporation or a limited liability company. In some special circumstances a professional corporation, partnership, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, professional corporation, professional limited liability company, non-profit corporation or low-profit limited liability company may be considered. Following is a brief summary of the attributes of a sole proprietorship, a corporation and a limited liability company. A sole proprietorship exists when one person owns and operates the business without forming any kind of entity. Thus, no documentation or filing is required to form this type of business. The profits and losses of the business are reported on the person’s individual state and federal tax returns. The person operating the sole proprietorship is personally liable for all liabilities incurred in operating the business. A sole proprietor may operate the business under his or her name or under a trade name. If a trade name (called an assumed name in North Carolina) is to be used, a form must be filed with the register of deeds in the county where the sole proprietorship does business. A corporation is a separate legal entity from its owners and is formed by filing articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State, along with a filing fee. Once the corporation is formed, it must adopt bylaws, which control the internal operation and management of the corporation. Then, it must issue stock to its owners (its shareholders) in ex-

change for stock. The corporation is managed by directors, elected by the shareholders, and by officers, elected by its directors. The directors make major decisions and the officers are responsible for the day-to-day operation of the business. The major advantage of a corporation is that the owners are not personally liable for the liabilities of the corporation, so long as the formalities of operation of the corporation are observed. One of the disadvantages is the documentation and formalities required in operating and managing the corporation. As the corporation is a separate entity, it must file separate state and federal income tax returns and pay taxes on its profits and losses. This may result in the profits of the business being taxed twice - once at the corporate level and once at the shareholder level as a result of profits distributed to the shareholders. It is possible to avoid this double taxation by filing an liS” corporation election (Form 2553) with the IRS. The profits and losses of an “S” corporation are taxed only once to the shareholders. There are certain eligibility requirements to be met in order to become an “S”corporation, including having a maximum of 100 shareholders and having only one class of stock. As becoming an “S” corporation is only a tax election the corporations retains all of the other characteristics of a corporation. A limited liability company is often the entity of choice for a small business. A limited liability company (or “LLC”) is formed (business entity continued on page 13)

(continued from page 12)

by filing articles of organization with the Secretary of State. An LLC may have one or more members, who are the owners of the LLC. Although not mandatory, the members may enter into a written operating agreement, which may contain provisions regarding membership, voting, transfer of membership and any other desired provisions. An LLC is managed by managers; often just the members. Each manager of an LLC has equal voice in the operation and management of the LLC, unless the operating agreement provides otherwise. An LLC is extremely flexible and may be structured in many different ways. Much less formality must be observed in operating and managing an LLC than is required with a corporation. As an LLC is a separate entity the members do not have personal liability for the liabilities of the

LLC. So long as the proper form is filed with the IRS, the profits and losses of the business will be taxed to the members of the LLC and not to the LLC. In conclusion, the best form of entity for a new small business will often be a limited liability company or an “S” corporation. However, there some circumstances where a corporation (without the “S” election) may be appropriate, at least for a period of time.

To attend the Christmas Show on your own the cost would include a ticket, parking and the cost of gas to and from

Charlotte. The extension service is offering to take care of all that for area residents. Space is limited on the bus and pre-reservations are required. For more information or to reserve your seat, call the Polk County Cooperative Extension Center at 828-894-8218. – article submitted by Jimmi Buell

FENCE welcomes Americorps volunteer Andersson Foothills Equestrian Nature Center welcomes its newest Americorps volunteer Hannah Andersson. Andersson grew up amidst the Amish hillsides of Lancaster, Penn. but over the last three years has traveled near and far across the United States for various environmentally focused jobs. In 2010, she earned her bachelor of arts in natural history and conservation from Sterling College, a small outdoor and experiential-based college in northern Vermont. Since graduating, Andersson has backpacked in Alaska, worked as a naturalist/ outdoor educator in northern Wisconsin and the coastal redwoods of California, helped reintroduce Aplomado Falcons in southern New Mexico and volunteered

through AmeriCorps on a biodynamic farm in Vermont, living and working with special needs adults. She said she is excited to now be in western North Carolina volunteering as an AmeriCorps education assistant at FENCE this year, and looks forward to immersing herself in the natural history and culture of the area. Among other things, Andersson brings her value of community, hard work and dedication to educating on the importance of environmental sustainability to the area with hopes of networking and joining the WNC community for more than a year. In her spare time, Andersson loves to knit, develop her ornithological skills and play guitar. – article submitted by Tracie Hanson
