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

Commissioners met Monday for a recessed budget work ses-sion. The board last week was considering a ½ cent tax cut, which would have cost approximately $131,745, but following the esti-mated $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

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

Commissioners held bud-get 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 con-sidered 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 farm-land 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 discre-tion 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 dis-agreed.

Pack said he doesn’t mind pull-ing 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 an-other $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 preserva-tion, 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 ap-proximate $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.

The Pacolet Area Conservan-cy (PAC) announced Tuesday, May 21 the appointment of Mary Arrington Walter as the organi-zation’s new executive director.

Walter formerly served as executive director of SPACE, the Spartanburg Area Conservancy, a conservation land trust based in Spartanburg, S.C.

There she led that organiza-tion to national accreditation with the Land Trust Alliance. She brings more than 20 years of experience in the field of conservation to PAC.

Walter, who was born in Greenville, S.C. is a graduate of Presbyterian College.

“I am delighted to be joining the team at PAC. I have long admired the great land conser-vation work that has been done here,” Walter said. “The Pacolet watershed and its headwaters are such an incredibly beautiful part of our world that must be preserved.

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 ex-penditure, which will save the city $2,890. Saluda Finance Officer Ron Cole said the city’s current fund balance is at ap-proximately 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

weekly farmers market. The loans were taken out in De-cember 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 re-maining on each loan, and paid off the balance last week total-ing $30,935.

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

Saluda pays off land early for almost $3k savings

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

W i t h t h e h e l p of wil l ing landowners and a com-munity that supports the efforts of the con-servancy, this goal can certainly be attained!”

PAC, the Pacolet Area Con-servancy is a private, 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organi-zation (land trust) founded in

1989 to protect and conserve the area’s natural resources (PAC’s mission).

PAC works with area land-owners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation

e a s e m e n t s (agreements) which enable, landowners to maintain own-ership of their

property, preserving precious natural resources: open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland and stream banks . . . saving the places you love.

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 blam-ing 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 spokenTwisted 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 com-missioners.

Lynn Sprague, director of Agricultural Economic Devel-opment in Polk County, has done a tremendous job for this county. Look at the number of new farmers selling their products at the various farm-ers- 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 top-ics 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 re-places him with another spark-plug 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 commis-sioners 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 re-ceive. Seek out the facts. Attend the commissioner meetings.

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

- Ed Breedlove, Tryon

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 bypass-ing opportunities to improve our community’s safety nor the quality of life we all could enjoy.

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis presents an award from the Polk County Fire Chief’s Association during a retirement party for Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Tennant.

the position since 1982. He has served as firefighter for 35 years and retired as an educator after 30 years of service. Tennant is currently the chair of the Polk County School Board.

Tennant joined the Colum-bus Fire Department in the mid-1970s. Then, the depart-ment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of fire trucks. Today, the depart-ment has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several associate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“I don’t think you can under-stand how much the people in this room mean to me,” Tennant told those in attendance.

Tennant was lured to Tryon Estates that evening by a fire alarm activation at the retire-ment community in Columbus. The fire alarm call was nothing new to Tennant, but soon after entering the room, Tennant re-alized the setup as he was met with a standing ovation.

“It was the only way we could get him here,” said Co-lumbus Deputy Fire Chief Bobby Arledge. “If we told him we were having a retirement party, he wouldn’t have shown

up. If it’s a fire call, we know he’s coming.”

Arledge will take over the chief position at the beginning of the year.

Tennant was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, along with several other presen-tations from many of the service agencies Tennant has worked closely with over the years. Those in attendance included all Polk County emergency service and law enforcement agencies, mutual aid fire depart-ments and Regional One.

“The opportunity to work with him in so many roles has been incredible,” said Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “He has been a colleague, my fire chief and most importantly, my friend.”

Davis served as the Polk County Fire Marshal and later as deputy chief at the Columbus Fire Department before taking the Tryon fire chief position.

Tennant expressed surprise when presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, which has also been awarded to Bob Timberlake, Charles Kuralt and fellow University of North Carolina Alumnus, Mi-chael Jordan. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven

Jeanette Page

Jeanette Page, devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother 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 Flor-ence 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 Ded-man and Nell Ravan of Lynn, N.C.

Throughout her life she main-tained a sweet demeanor and kind-ness 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 gen-erosity 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 great-grandson, Mitchell Carter Page, born in January.

She was a member of Morgan Chapel Baptist Church and dur-ing 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 grand-mother, she was crafty with her sewing and crocheting skills and enjoyed cooking. She loved mak-ing 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 Lan-drum; 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

(Robin) of Ga., Tara Atkins of Columbus and Kristy Tipton (Rod-ney) of Sunny View. In addition to her children, grandson and great-grandson, she was also blessed with five step-great-grandchildren: Mariah Page of Landrum, Jackson and Delaney Tipton of Sunny View, Maddie and Caitlyn Atkins of Ga. and many special nieces and neph-ews who she loved dearly.

The family will receive friends from 1-2 p.m. Wednesday, May 22, 2013 at Petty Funeral Home. Funeral services will follow at 2 p.m. in the chapel conducted by Rev. Albert Teague.

Burial will be in Evergreen Memorial Gardens. The family is at their respective homes. Memori-als may be made to Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, 130 Forest Glen Drive, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

Rutherford Regional to host blood drive with The Blood Connection


Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by Dean Campbell

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. Tradi-tion 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 colo-nists and were profusely culti-vated 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 water-soaked 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 vin-egar and pouring over the leaves. Top the wilted leaves with slices of hard boiled eggs.

Leaves, both larger and ten-der young ones, are boiled as vegetables and served like

spinach, seasoned with cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Hard-boiled egg slices go well here, too.

Tender, young, yellow spring blossoms are also eaten but require several steps in prepa-r a t i o n . T h e blossoms are soaked in salt water for sev-eral hours and strained. Then, they are fried like mushrooms in butter or olive oil and seasoned with salt and pepper.

The colorful, tender blossoms are also used in a variety of reci-pes for making dandelion wine.

Dandelion roots continue to be used in herbal medicines, but are also used in making a flavor-ful, hot beverage. Good quality roots are washed thoroughly, dried and slow roasted. When the roasted roots are steeped

in boiling water, a delightful, coffee-like beverage is created.

Since roasted dandelion roots contain no caffeine, the bever-age can be a “night cap” late in the evening without affecting

s leep rou-tines.

Roasted d a n d e l i o n r o o t s m i x espec ia l ly w e l l w i t h milk. Steep

one heaping teaspoon of the roasted root in a cup of hot (not boiling) milk for five to 10 minutes and strain off the root pieces. Sweeten to taste. The resultant liquid tastes like rich cream, but with far less calories.

Still another food source for dandelions takes place in late autumn and early winter.

Collect a number of healthy dandelion plants. Pick off all the leaves, with the crowns of the

plants and the roots undisturbed. 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 dandeli-ons 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 deli-cious nutty flavor.

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

Dandelions once were staple foodstuffs for people

Four riders who compete na-tionally 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 Rus-sell, 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 strate-gies 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 am-ateur-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 re-cently 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 w o r r i e d a n d i n t e r n a l i z -es everything,” said Russell. Russell said that Terranova, who he has taught from the begin-ning, “is the finest human be-ing I have ever been around.” She will be riding her Argentine

gelding Creed.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 am-ateur-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.
