Adult day care set to open in Octoberby Leah Justice

There is finally light at the end of the tunnel for the long-awaited Don and Betsy Freeman Adult Day Care Center.

Polk County commission-ers Monday tentatively set the new facility's grand opening for Sunday, Oct. 3 at 1 p.m. The date could change if invited guests are unable to attend that day.

Commissioners expressed

their relief Monday that the center is finally nearing the end of construction after months of delays. The most recent delay occurred in the spring when paving could not be done be-cause of rain.

Construction began on the cov-ered canopy this week and gravel-ing has been completed. Once the canopy is complete, paving can be done, which will complete the construction project.

“As you know, we’ve been long awaiting the opening of the Don and Betsy Freeman Adult Day Care Center,” said com-missioner Warren Watson, who was the board member credited with seeing the project through. “Work on the canopy began today and grading is complete waiting for paving.”

Watson added that a plaque

Restoring a landmarkNew life for old Sunnydale Restaurant buildingby John Clayton

Part-time Tryon resident Bob Lane’s passion for res-toration is giving a new lease on life to a building that old-timers in Tryon sometimes refer to as the old Sunnydale Restaurant.

But Lane isn’t quite sure yet what the new life of the building will be.

“I don’t have any plans for it right now,” said Lane from his Charleston, S.C., home. “My only plans are to do the very best job I can to restore it. I don’t have any end use in mind. I’ve admired the building for a number of years, and I didn’t want to see

has been ordered and suggested the county provide signage and landscaping in front of the building.

The grand opening will in-clude light refreshments and a ribbon cutting ceremony. The actual opening date of the center has not yet been set and will likely be determined by the process of obtaining a permit for the facility.

Commissioners have been working to provide an adult day care center for some time. One of the options looked at initially was using a facility already set up in Green Creek. After deliberations, the county decided to renovate the rear building of the Meeting Place Senior Center, located off Skyuka Road at the former Carolina Classical School property, which the county now owns.

The county contracted with

Rutherford Life Services, which operates a similar facility in Rutherford County, to run the facility, with the county agree-ing to provide the building.

Renovations have included showers and handicapped ac-cessible bathrooms, a sprinkler system, parking, paving and a covered canopy. County of-ficials said on Monday that Rutherford Life Services is planning gardens onsite for its clients and has applied for a grant for other landscaping.

Commissioner Cindy Walk-er said there have been some bumps along the road, but she is proud of the board for its per-severance in seeing the project through.

“It has been a long path to get this adult day care,” Walker said. “Warren Watson kind of led the charge on this. There were some obstacles.”

She mentioned that the coun-ty had to change its zoning to allow the adult day care center in that location, and there have also been unexpected renova-

tion costs. The county was not expecting to have to install a sprinkler system nor to be required to have a wider road into the facility.

Some of the costs will be covered by a $25,000 grant the county received earlier this year.

“I’m glad we’re here,” Walk-er said. “Sometimes we have to pay more, but we kept working

to get it done. I’m proud of your efforts.”

Commissioners decided to name the facility after Don and Betsy Freeman in recognition of Betsy Freeman’s efforts to get an adult day care center in Polk County. Don Freeman, who had needed the services of an adult day care center for years, died during the renova-tion project.

Polk announces Tryon’s 125th birthday celebrationPolk County commissioners this week announced Tryon’s upcoming celebration for its 125th birthday. The celebration begins on Friday, Sept. 3 with a golf tournament at the Tryon Country Club, as well as the final Summer Tracks concert Friday evening at Rogers Park. A parade and other events are scheduled for the weekend. Go to www.firstpeaknc.com or www.tryonevents.com for more information.

Polk recreation dept. bylaws amendedPolk County commissioners on Monday approved amendments to the county’s recreation advisory board bylaws. The new bylaws include a change from quarterly meetings to every other month. Membership was also changed from 11 members to nine, taking out two student memberships that were formerly included. The board has two-year, staggered terms for its members.

Asheville Airport passengers up last yearThe number of people boarding a commercial flight at Asheville Regional Airport for the fiscal year that ended June 30 probably reached the highest level in the airport's history, airport Director Lew Bleiweis told the airport board recently. Passenger numbers reached 327,862 in the recent fiscal year, beating the previous record of about 325,000 set in 1994. The airport doesn't have figures before about 1990 readily at hand, but it is unlikely that any year before that had higher numbers, Bleiweis said. The figures contrast sharply with national totals, which are down from earlier in the decade, due in large part to the slow economy.

Black conservative S.C. group holds rally for tougher immigration laws

A black conservative organization in South Carolina rallied people at the Statehouse in Columbia, S.C., recently to support tougher immigration laws. State. Rep. Tim Scott, who is running for South Carolina’s 1st congressional district seat, was the featured speaker and would be the first black Republican con-gressman since Oklahoma’s J.C. Watts retired in 2003. Scott said if the U.S. wants to stop illegal immigrants from coming to the country, it should adopt policies like Mexico’s that require all immigrants to register and carry identifying papers.

Virginia College to open in SpartanburgVirginia College, which is owned by the Birmingham, Ala.-based Education Corp. of America, plans to open a new for-profit school on the west side of Spartanburg in Janu-ary. The campus will feature one building, located north of Highway 29 in an old furniture store between Ingles and Shogun Japanese Restaurant. The Spartanburg campus is expected to enroll 500 students its first year. The college has 16 campuses in eight states — including Columbia, S.C., and Augusta, Ga. Those “ground campuses,” typically see 800 to 1,000 students annually, DeLorenzo said. The Spartanburg campus will offer several health and business programs, including medical office management, medical assistant, and medical billing and coding. Other programs are still being finalized. The school primarily offers two-year programs, but it also has certificate programs and bach-elor’s degree programs.

The old log cabin structure is located on S. Hwy. 176 in Tryon, next to the site where a metal building that will house a new Dollar General is currently under construction.

Lane said he has invested in real estate over the past 40 years, but has also restored a dozen vintage automobiles as well as six buildings, including a pair on Charleston’s historic King Street.

“I have a real passion for bringing those things back to life,” said Lane.

He said he has always appre-ciated the rustic nature of Tryon and wants to add to that feel.

“One thing I’ve liked about Tryon is the lack of all the nation-al concerns,” Lane said. “There’s not a Hardee’s downtown or a

So far, crews at the Sunnydale building have been working on the first phase of the restoration – demolition.

Lane said he expects actual construction to begin soon, after demolition is completed and when architectural designs are received from local architect Holland Brady.

“In the demo process, we’re tearing out all of of the mechani-cal – the electrical, the plumbing, everything like that,” he said. “When we’re through with it, it will be a new, old building.”

Brady said the Sunnydale was originally built in the 1930s with the idea of turning it into a youth center of sorts, but those plans never came to fruition.

After that, the property be-came a succession of restaurants, including Sunnydale.

Brady, a lifelong Tryon resi-dent, said his plans for the res-

toration are being done largely from his own memories of the building.

“We’re trying to restore it somewhat to its original charac-ter,” said Brady, noting several challenges including working past the damage done by sev-eral remodeling efforts over the years.

“We’re not doing a really au-thentic restoration,” Brady said. “We’re doing it as close as we can while bringing it up to code. Mostly, it’s educated guesswork on our part.”

Lane purchased the property from former owner/operator Bar-bara Pierce-Britt. He would not divulge how much he expects it to cost to restore the Sunnydale, saying only that he would spend “as much as it takes.”

While there are no concrete plans, and Lane said he would not be opening a business in the building himself, he said he could see the building as a type of event center that could make use of the

Polk County’s 20/20 Vision plan wins awardby Leah Justice

Polk County has received an award for its 20/20 Vision com-prehensive plan.

Commissioners announced the award during a meeting held Monday and thanked the county's planning department, Dale Hol-land of Holland and Associates and the visioning committee for their efforts.

The county is receiving the award from the North Carolina Chapter of the American Plan-ning Association. The county was chosen as the recipient of the 2010 North Carolina Marvin Collins Planning Award in the Outstanding Planning Award-Comprehensive Planning (small community) category.

Commissioner Renée McDer-mott made the announcement this week and said the county should be very proud of its planning de-partment, Holland and its vision-ing committee because not many of these awards are given.

The North Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Associa-tion plans to present the award to Polk County during the county’s Nov. 1 meeting.

“The award recognizes plans, projects or processes of unusually high merit adopted or enacted in the current or past two calendar years,” said Karen Smith, AICP, NCAPA Awards Committee co-chair.

The award will also be pre-

sented during the North Carolina Annual Planning Conference Awards Luncheon on Sept. 30 at the New Bern Riverfront Conven-tion Center. Polk County officials are entitled to two complimentary meals at the luncheon.

Polk County adopted its 20/20 Vision Plan last year as the coun-ty’s long-range comprehensive plan. The plan included commu-nity meetings to give feedback for what residents want to see in the county over the next several years as well as a survey distrib-uted to all households.

The visioning committee was formed of residents from all townships in the county.

The county is now working to implement the plan by creating a unified development ordinance (UDO), which will combine all the county’s ordinances into one document as well as make needed changes to ordinances and add new ones if needed to follow the plan.

The county recently appointed the UDO committee, and meet-ings began recently.


Pack responds to questions on St. Luke's Hospital funds

Editor’s note: Following is the full response from Tom Pack, candidate for the Polk County Board of Commissioners, to questions sent by the Bulletin regarding the county’s $285,000 gift to St. Luke’s Hospital last year. An article summarizing the responses from commissioners, candidates and St. Luke's Hos-pital ran in the Friday, July 23 Bulletin. Look for full responses from other commissioners and candidates in upcoming edi-tions.

First let me start by saying that it is important that we keep St. Luke’s Hospital open for business. We need to look at a true merger with a larger hospital system that will invest in St. Luke’s, not just manage St Luke’s with no investment. The larger hospital would keep St. Luke’s open and feed the more serious cases on to their larger hospital. This would be a win-win for Polk County.

My understanding is that this money ($285,000) was not used to create more jobs at St. Luke’s. Economic develop-ment seed money should be used to create more jobs in the county and have a return so that the seed money is replenished for future job creation.

By giving this money to St. Luke’s it is lost money that will not be returned to the Economic Development Commission’s seed fund for future job creation in the county.

When I was on the board of commissioners approximately

five years ago we (Polk County) purchased the building where James Tool is now located. We leased the building to James Tool with the option for them to purchase. We did not give the money directly to James Tool, we only provided them a building that they leased from the county.

James Tool, once established in the county with a good out-look on future business, decided to purchase the building from the county. We sold the build-ing to them for approximately $285,000.00 and placed the money in a seed fund for future economic development.

I envisioned the same type of scenario again to purchase or build a building to lease to a new business opening or relocating to the county. Un-fortunately this did not happen and the money was given to St. Luke’s with no expectation of return for replenishing the Economic Development seed fund.

The facts are the Polk Coun-ty Board of Commissioners depleted the Economic Devel-opment Commission’s seed money and also eliminated the economic development director position from the current bud-get. So when you hear the three commissioners that control the Polk County Board of Commis-sioners say they want to bring more jobs to Polk County, can we believe them?

Nicky is a blonde Chow mix approximately 5 years old. She is a very sweet, spayed female. She would like to be your only dog or should love with submis-sive dogs as she is Alpha. Nicky is not at all aggressive, loves attention and affection and really needs a home. It seems everyone wants puppies or younger dogs or dogs that don't require any maintenance. Nicky will need her coat brushed and an occasional bath. She has been vaccinated and will be micro chipped before adoption.

N.C. to receive $120 million to help families keep their homes

that we’re getting a significant portion of the total amount.”

Assistance will be provided through targeted foreclosure-prevention programs such as the Housing Finance Agency (HFA) Innovation Fund for the Hardest Hit Housing Markets (the “Hard-est Hit Fund”) within the U.S. Department of the Treasury.

Nationally, the Treasury is providing an additional $2 billion of assistance for HFA programs. The funds, under the discretion of the states, can be used for invest-ments such as mortgage assis-tance or job training. In addition, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is plan-ning to unveil a corresponding $1 billion Emergency Homeowners Loan Program which will provide up to 24 months of assistance to homeowners in jeopardy of foreclosure because of under-employment, unemployment, or a medical problem.


Recent ly , Congressman Heath Shuler (D-Waynesville) announced that the state of North Carolina will receive $120,874,221 to help homeowners struggling to pay their mortgages because of unemployment. North Carolina is one of 17 states, and the District of Columbia, selected to receive this additional assistance, because of higher than the national average unemployment rates.

“The economic recession has affected all of us in some way. Almost all of us know someone who has lost a job through no fault of their own and, as a result, has to make tough decisions about which bills to pay first,” said Rep. Shuler. “This funding will help ensure that families have the tools and resources to keep their homes until our economy fully recovers and our unemployment rate returns to normal levels. North Carolina clearly demonstrated a need for this funding, and I’m glad to see

St. Luke’s to host blood drive Aug. 24quiet disasters that require a gift of blood.

St. Luke’s Hospital is helping make sure that blood is available by sponsoring a blood drive with the American Red Cross on Tues-day, August 24, from 12 to 4 p.m. By sponsoring a blood drive, St. Luke’s Hospital is helping save and improve the lives of individu-als in need of blood. In addition, their sponsorship ensures that a safe blood supply is available at all times for all members of the community.

Donors of all types are needed to help the American Red Cross provide more than 1,500 units of blood each day to meet the needs of patients in area hospitals. Donors must be at least 17 years of age, weigh a minimum of 110 pounds, and be in good general health.

All donors will be entered into a chance to win a $1,000 gift card.

For your convenience, call 828-894-2408 to schedule your appointment.


Many Americans nationwide have been donating blood to ensure a sustained and secure blood supply for all Americans. Together with the Red Cross, these people are ensuring that the safest possible blood is readily available whenever and wherever needed - for the military, for other blood centers in America and for all of America’s hospitals, includ-ing St. Luke’s Hospital.

Everyone expects blood to be there for them, but barely a fraction of those who can give do. Yet sooner or later, virtually all of us will face a time of great vulnerability in which we will need blood. And that time is all too often unexpected.

From its beginning, the Amer-ican Red Cross has formed a community of service, of people bound by beliefs beyond them-selves. The Red Cross says the honor, spirit and resources of the American people come forth with neighbors helping neighbors in need - during earthquakes, floods, fires, storms - and also for the deeply personal and often

Census Bureau to update employment numbers with Current Population Survey

their employment status, hours worked, earnings, age, sex, race, marital status, educational attain-ment, occupation and industry. From these answers come esti-mates of the unemployment rate released monthly by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“The monthly CPS is the primary source of information for state and local governments, and businesses regarding the country’s labor force,” said James T. Christy, acting director of the Census Bureau’s Detroit Re-gional Office.

The Census Bureau’s monthly Current Population Survey – which dates from 1942 – is the longest-running household survey in the country. More information about this survey can be found at www.census.gov/cps.


During the week of Aug. 15, 2010, nearly 2,000 Census Bureau field representatives will interview about 72,000 house-holds across the nation for the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS).

The CPS is co-sponsored by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau.

Before the survey is con-ducted, households selected in the nationwide sample will receive an informational letter from the Census Bureau director. Some participants are interviewed by telephone and others are inter-viewed in person by field rep-resentatives who carry official identification.

Every month, Census Bureau field representatives ask selected households questions relevant to the U.S. labor force, such as

Sol Driven Train performs in Roger’s Park Aug. 20sol Driven Train

southern fried funk and beach-boy (if not Beach Boys) style harmony. Stylistically, this band mixes “Allmanesque” South-ern rock, languid world-beat, swampy funk and melodies as they swap lead singers and instruments. The horn section adds an extra dimension to the genre-blurring jam party.

The band is celebrating 10 years and 1,000 shows together and the band’s original three members – Russell Clarke on saxophone and vocals; Ward Buckheister on trombone, guitar and vocals; and Joel Timmons on guitar and vocals – grew up in Wando, S.C. They are joined by Rusty Cole on bass and vocals and Wes Powers on drums. They’ve been touring in celebration of their latest CD titled “Believe.”

As with all Summer Tracks concerts, the show starts at 7 p.m. and is free, though a voluntary donation at the gate is encour-aged. The sponsorships provided by local businesses also make these shows possible. Again, Giardinis wood-fired pizzas,

Charleston’s own Sol Driven Train performs at Roger’s Park on August 20 for the fifth concert in Summer Tracks six-concert summer series.

The evening opens with Sol Driven Train’s (www.soldriventri-an.com) award-winning children’s show. The group’s first children’s CD, “Tajar Tracks,” was voted Best Children’s Album of 2005 in South Carolina. The group’s collection of personalities and its quirky combi-nation of strings, horns and inven-tive lyrics have made it a favorite among children and their parents.

“We have a lot of kids at our community and festival perfor-mances,” says Joel Timmons, singer, guitarist and songwriter with the group. “It is the cool-est thing to see kids and parents sharing our music. The music business can be sort of soul-less at times, so seeing families rock-ing and dancing to our tunes is really heartwarming.”

After the “children’s set,” Sol Driven Train retakes the stage with a somewhat more mature big-band blend of world-beat,

homemade ice cream, water and soft drinks will be for sale.

The Summer Tracks series offers a mix of musical styles. Concerts run from 7 to 10 p.m. Scheduled to perform are:

August 20 – Sol Driven Train (opening set will be their chil-dren’s show, followed by their mix of world beat and funk)

Sept. 3 – The Firecracker Jazz Band (jazz, Dixieland, big band, music from 1890-1940)

Summer Tracks is produced by the Town of Tryon in affili-ation with Peter Eisenbrown of Blockparty Productions. The popular and well attended series attracts people from all over the region. Last year, the concerts drew an estimated 2,000 people to downtown Tryon.

For more information about Summer Tracks and the perform-ers, contact Polk County Travel and Tourism at 800-440-7848 or 828-894-2324 and visit www.firstpeaknc.com or the new Tryon events website www.tryonevents.org.

Safety tips for August beach goersyour bathing suit. Don’t forget to apply sunscreen to the tops of your feet.

Don’t forget to bring sun-screen with you and reapply every two hours, or immediately after swimming, toweling off, or sweating a great deal. A half day at the beach requires at least two applications of sunscreen.

Cover upProtect your head, face and

eyes with a broad-brimmed hat (at least 3” all the way around) and sunglasses that filter out 99 to 100 percent of UV radiation. Cover up with long sleeves and pants when you aren’t swimming. For women, brightly colored, long sa-rongs are another good option. Or opt for specially made sun protec-tive clothing with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 30 or higher. A product with a UPF of 30 will allow just 1/30th of the sun’s UV radiation to penetrate the cloth. Surfers should wear a rash guard or surf shirt.

Seek the shade and plan your visit accordingly

The sun is most intense be-tween 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so why not try an early morning or late afternoon trip? You’ll avoid the crowds (and traffic) and have the beach to yourself. And you’ll get to enjoy the calm of daybreak or a stunning sunset. Early birds might consider heading to the beach by 7 or 8 a.m. and plan to leave by noon. Late risers might opt to arrive after 3 p.m. and can stay as long as they like.

Experts do not recommend spending an entire day at the beach, but if you do, be sure to take periodic “shade breaks” un-der a beach umbrella. However, not all umbrellas are created equal. The most effective ones provide a minimum UPF 30.

With a few simple precau-tions, you can enjoy a beach excursion without risking your skin’s health.


Summer may be fading fast, but the sun isn’t going anywhere. People heading to the beach this August should take precautions. With 3.5 million new cases of skin cancer diagnosed annually, beach goers need to take sun protection more seriously than ever. More than 90 percent of all skin cancers are associated with sun exposure.

“The intensity of sun expo-sure for beach goers is certainly elevated. Both water and sand can reflect up to 80 percent of the sun’s rays, adding to your overall exposure,” said Perry Robins, MD, President of The Skin Can-cer Foundation. “However, beach and pool activities can be enjoyed safely as long as people take some extra precautions.”

The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends the following beach sun safety tips:

Use plenty of sunscreen For a day at the beach, chose

a water-resistant sunscreen with a minimum 30 SPF (Sun Pro-tection Factor). Following the suggested FDA guidelines, a “water-resistant” product must maintain its SPF after 40 min-utes of water immersion, and a “very water-resistant” product, after 80 minutes. For effective ultraviolent A (UVA) radiation protection, select products that have some combination of the following ingredients: avobenzo-ne, ecamsule (a.k.a. Mexoryl™), oxybenzone, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

To ensure that you get the full SPF of a sunscreen, apply 1 ounce (about a shot glass full) 30 minutes before sun exposure to allow the ingredients to fully bind to the skin. The Skin Can-cer Foundation suggests putting sunscreen on before putting on your bathing suit. Not only will it provide extra protection to the skin underneath, but you are less likely to miss spots and end up with sunburn along the edges of

Conversations from Birdlandby DonWeathington

I don’t pretend to know a lot about making cheese, so I looked up the process for making Swiss cheese on the computer. I was interested because as I thought about comparing the prevailing eco-nomic strategies of Capitalism and Socialism, the notion struck me that both theories have holes in them.

My quirky mind led me to consider both as falling in the Swiss cheese family.

As it turns out, during the process of mak-ing this variety of cheese,

c e r t a i n bacter ia are introduced to the milk solu-tion that cause chemical reactions - some that create the unique flavor of Swiss cheese and others that cause the formation of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide forms the “holes” in the cheese wheel. These holes are formally known as “eyes”. Such a cheese wheel that has no eyes is known as a “blind” Swiss. Well, this was just getting better and bet-ter. Imagine! The process for defining the product in question involves gas - much like the hot air that accompanies the theories I set out to consider. And when the process doesn’t work out as planned, the result is blindness.

Another odd coincidence is that if the cheese is allowed to ferment too long, the flavor is enhanced, but practicality suffers as the eyes become too large, the cheese doesn’t slice well, and it crumbles. Similarly,

when both capitalism and so-cialism ferment (foment?) too long, a few at the top of the reward pyramids become very comfortable, but the holes are overexposed and the systems crumble.

Avid proponents of capital-ism insist that competition for a larger share of rewards is the only reasonable way for an economy to flourish, and that those who “outhustle” the others deserve the larger share. Unfortunately, the element of

greed comes quickly into play in this modality and a “class” sys-tem is created. Trends make a few rich while

those working hard in less trendy vocations are penalized. Those making the most money are casual about believing that they are worth more. These are the great holes in capitalism - the rich consume more than their fair share of nature’s re-sources and this creates mistrust among the citizenry.

Proponents of socialism on the other hand believe that cooperation is the more reason-able approach to an organized society. They assert that na-ture’s resources are owned by everyone, not just the few who will exploit the earth for their own enhancement, and that everyone deserves a fair share of the rewards. Those who have attempted to execute this way of organizing their culture have usually created huge bureaucra-cies. Few of these attempts have fared well, too often devolv-

ing into rule by the few (e.g. Hitler’s Social Democrats, the reign of the USSR) and lethargy by the masses (modern day France and/or Greece). Scan-dinavian countries have seemed to come closest to closing many of the holes in socialism, but the collapse of the Icelandic system last year suggests that this too isn’t foolproof. The great holes in socialism are over organiza-tion and lethargy.

Each of these two systems is vulnerable to rule by petty tyrants or organizations who usurp the rights of the mass of the population and rule by fear and/or force. Neither offers the perfect long-term approach.

Somewhere between the two disparate systems, hopefully, is a workable solution. Perhaps something along the lines of businesses or industries being jointly owned by management/entrepreneurs and labor will provide an answer. Labor will always believe it is worth more than management wants to pay because, although their efforts actually produce the products, they don’t know all the facts of production costs. Management will always believe that it pays too much since the capital that allowed the endeavor to begin-with came from that side of the enterprise.

Currently, the divided house of our economy has lost the art of compromise and so we founder.

Hendersonville holds North Carolina Apple Festival Sept. 3-6

Historic Hendersonville is the official home of the North Carolina Apple Festival, a four-day celebration to recognize the importance of the apple industry to Henderson County and North Carolina. The Apple Festival is always held during the Labor Day weekend (Friday through Monday).

The Apple Festival features a street fair on Historic Main Street and surrounding event venues with continuous entertain-ment, arts and crafts, local apple growers selling apple products, children’s and youth activities, special shows, exhibits, open houses, fun, festival food, and, to top it all off, the King Apple Parade.

The Apple Festival’s Street Fair covers nine blocks of Main Street with more than 150 ven-dors. Main Street is closed to traffic from 6th Avenue to Cas-well Street.

On Monday the street fair is scaled back to a mini-festival located between Second Avenue and Caswell Street. The highlight of Labor Day is the King Apple Parade filled with floats, bands, clowns, antique cars, fire engines and more traveling down Main Street from 5 Points to Caswell Street.

‘Estimating’ versus reality of DSSThe work of providing a proper office for the Polk

County Department of Social Services is proving difficult as the process melds into an election cycle.

Comissioners Warren Watson and Tommy Melton, both so disatisfied with their fellow commissioners that they bolted the Democratic Party to run as independents, are portraying the DSS building process now underway as reckless and ill-considered. Put on the brakes! they say, just as the long-stalled project is finally hitting a gear.

In a letter last Friday, Watson says we would have been much better off if the new board elected in 2008 had stayed with the previous board’s plan. That plan was to build on a two-acre site on Park Street in Columbus.

On Park Street, Watson says, a building could have been built by now for $1.7 million, as if that number is somehow fixed in time. But $1.7 is a mirage. There were never any actual grading bids for Park Street, nor any architectural drawings for the two-story building planned there.

The fact is that $1.7 million figure was based on “esti-mates” prepared by the same county advisors who prepared the estimates used to budget for the building planned now on Wolverine Trail.

Park Street was never a good choice. The steep site would have required heavy grading, perhaps much more costly than “estimated.” Two acres was going to be a tight squeeze, with zero room for expansion. Interior space would have been wasted for stairwells and an elevator.

Park Street itself would have had to be widened, for an “estimated” $150,000 and obtaining right-of-ways might have been a problem. A traffic light and turning lane may have been needed at the intersection of Park and 108.

It’s a misleading argument that compares actual bids and clearer costs with fantasy numbers. The reality is that DSS for too long has needed a decent office. We applaud the commissioners who voted to move forward. — JB

Budgets are important, unless you are a county commissionerTo the editor:

I read the august 5 TDB article on the Board Of Com-miss ioner ’s vote regarding the DSS Building’s costs and quickly realized that our Demo-crat controlled polk County Board of Commissioners, who seem to consistently vote in a 3-to-2 block for what they want, are following the same path of fiscal irresponsibility that we see coming out of Washington DC. Heaven help us!

To their credit, Commission-ers Melton and Watson tried to hit the re-set button. But they were steam rolled by the voting block of Commissioners gasperson, McDermott and Walker.

First, in response to an es-timate for grading that is 32 percent ($54,000) over budget, chairwoman Cindy Walker said the original budget “was a guess-timate, which should be thrown out.” What? are you saying that if we can’t live within the budget we agreed to we should ignore it because the budget was only a guess? Sounds like Washington, D.C. thinking to me.

Think of the message that sends to all our county govern-ment departments: if you are 32 percent over budget, don’t worry, we know that the budget was only a guess. Or maybe the county employees have to live under different rules than the commissioners. That sounds like

Washington, D.C. too.Second, the $54,000 over-

budgeted costs were reduced from an original estimate that was $97,000 over budget. They reduced the over-budget costs by grading the land in such a

way that would limit future building plans for the property by more than 50 percent. another parallel with Washington: future

consequences of our decisions are someone else’s problem, we just want to focus on today.

Third, Commissioners gasper-son, McDermott and Walker voted 3-to-2 against rebidding the project because they were “following the original schedule and bidding process the board previously agreed to.” again ... what? Now it is more important to stay on schedule than it is to be fiscally responsible?

Commissioner McDermott said that we didn’t have time to rebid because “we have needed this building for over 20 years.” I guess it is worth spending $54,000 more of your tax money to prevent needing the new build-ing for 20 years and 2 more months.

Friends, this is our money they are spending, not theirs. When we exhaust the surplus that past Boards of Commissioners have created and find ourselves in need of raising taxes, remember this moment. Better yet, remember how they voted today when you vote this November. We have to demand that government be reigned in and start showing some fiscal responsibility.

a dusk visitor to the upper deck of rose and max Koontz’s white oak mountain home on Friday, august 6, remained for over an hour, helping itself to the bird feed. The bear was frightened off by a Polk county sheriff’s officer. unfortunately, this “small” bear severely bent a 3/16” thick bird food holder brace, a surprisingly difficult item to straighten, which convinced the Koontzs that there is a considerable amount of strength available. The young roamer appeared on their deck again Thursday, august 12, and proceeded to “bearhandle” another feeder to the deck. The bear was frightened away by the noise provided by the Koontzs and their neighbors. (photos submitted)

a side view of the Koontz’s house, showing the height of the upper deck, where the visitor was enjoying his midmorning snack. There is no access to the upper deck except through the house, or as the bear chose, up the supporting deck posts. he was last seen scampering throught the adjacent woods.
