Columbus debates employee salary increaseDraft budget includes 4-percent salary increaseby Leah Justice

Columbus Town Council de-bated during a budget workshop held Tuesday, June 12 how much of a raise to give town employ-ees, with the majority of council

deciding on four percent.All council members praised

the town’s staff, mentioning how much money the employees have saved the town. They said after not receiving a salary increase for the past four years, employees deserve a raise.

Councilwoman Ernie Kan was the only member who said

she preferred a two-percent in-crease but also said Columbus employees do a wonderful job and do deserve an increase. Kan said she’s looked at other local governments that are giving increases next year; Spartanburg and Saluda are giving two-per-cent increases and Polk County

is giving a 2.5-percent increase.Kan said Columbus gave

bonuses and had no cutbacks, as well as getting employees better insurance this year.

“I can’t see giving 4 per-cent,” Kan said. “We have some surpluses, yes, but two years ago we talked about trying to build up surplus and getting rid of some of our debt.”

But council members Marga-ret Metcalf, Ricky McCallister, Richard Hall and Mayor Eric McIntyre all said they feel employees de-serve a 4-per-cent increase, which will cost the town ap-proximate ly $27,000.

M c I n t y r e said the town b a n k e d a p -proximate ly $90,000 in fis-cal year 2010-2011 then another $43,000 in savings is planned in 2011-2012. He also spoke of how much employees have saved the town in taking initia-tives, such as discovering and fixing an issue with Morgan Chapel fire hydrants recently.

“Our employees have saved us a tremendous amount of money by doing jobs them-selves,” McIntyre said. “We need to look at the whole pic-ture.”

McCallister said the cost of living has increased 9.5 percent over the last few years and four years without an increase is a long time.

“They do an excellent job and they all work hard,” Mc-Callister said. “You’d have to work hard to convince me they don’t deserve a 4-percent raise. It cost them a lot of money to stay here. They could make a lot more money somewhere else.”

Metcalf also said Columbus employees do an excellent job and agreed with the increase. She said it’s hard for people who work here, especially for young

families to try to make a living and stay in Columbus.

“I don’t think we would be offering this if we couldn’t af-ford it,” Metcalf said. “I think as far as paying off things, we will do that, but I don’t think us giving employees a raise is going to hinder that.”

Kan said she is not trying to say Columbus employees aren’t doing a good job; she simply wants the town to be wise with its money. She said in giving an increase, it’s an increase the town will have forever. She said the people who live in Colum-

bus are trying to raise their families too.

“ I ’ m n o t say ing they are not doing a good job,” Kan said. “I just don’t want to put a burden on people here that is not nec-essary.”

Columbus resident Susan Johann cau-tioned council, saying the town needs to be careful right now at a time when everything is going up in price. She said the surplus the town may have now could be totally gone in the future.

“We need fire hydrants (in the Beechwood development) and you keep promising them but we’ve heard that for six or seven years,” said Johann. “We don’t see that surplus going to-wards fire hydrants. A 2-percent raise seems fair to me.”

Columbus is currently work-ing to install fire hydrants at Beechwood, with an estimate from an engineer coming in at approximately $280,000 for the project. The town is further investigating the project, with a hydraulic study scheduled to be done in November, when town manager Jonathan Kanipe says the town will know how to proceed. Part of the issue is the water line at Beechwood is a 2-inch line and fire service requires at least a 6-inch line,

so the town will have to lay new pipe and reconnect customers in order to install fire hydrants.

Hall agreed with the majority of council, saying the employ-ees are a big part of what makes Columbus great and he thinks they should be rewarded.

“They bend over backwards,” Hall said. “It’s the leadership that gives our citizens something to be proud of. I think it’s time they deserve a little bit for what

they’ve done. They tightened things up. They make things work. They made us money and I’m just so proud of the people that work for this town.”

Columbus’ new budget will include a one-cent tax increase for fire service as the Polk County Board of Commis-sioners has agreed to grant the request in order for the fire department to be fully staffed.

Columbus’ proposed budget does not include any property tax increases or rate increases for next fiscal year, which be-

gins July 1. The town’s gen-eral fund budget is proposed at $924,445 and its water/sewer fund is proposed at $1,097,800, including the salary increases. The tax rate is proposed to in-crease from 39 cents per $100 of property valuation to 40 cents per $100 of valuation, with five cents of that being for fire service including the increase.

Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the new bud-get on Thursday, June 21 at 7 p.m. and plans to adopt the new budget following the hearing.

Saluda receives improved ISO rating of 5/6 from stateSaluda Fire & Rescue re-

cently received official notifi-cation from the N.C. Office of State Fire Marshall of a new ISO rating of 5/6, which will go into effect Sept. 1.

“Our members devoted much of their time to help prepare for the rating. We are happy to provide the citizens

of Saluda with a lower ISO rating, which will decrease their homeowner’s insurance,” said Saluda Deputy Fire Chief Zach Pace.

The rating dropped from the former ISO rating of a 7 within the city’s five-mile district.

The new class 5 rating ap-plies to properties with a fire

flow of 3,500 gpm (gallons per minute) or less and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant.

The class 6 rating applies to properties with a fire flow of 3,500 gpm. Class 9E applies to all other properties within the five-mile fire district.

The Office of State Fire Marshal conducted the in-

spection in May 2011. The purpose of their visit was to gather information on: receiv-ing and handling fire alarms, fire department equipment, personnel, training records, maintenance records and water supply.

Arborist to assist TFAC with phase one of master site plan

As part of their commitment to enhancing, developing and preserving the natural beauty of the Melrose Avenue campus, the Tryon Fine Arts Center has engaged arborist Alan Greene to help preserve and cultivate the campus trees during Phase I of the master site building plan.

“Besides having issues with insects and excessive ivy, some of the trees have become diseased and stressed over the years,” says TFAC President Rebecca Barnes. “We are working with an arborist who will help us make decisions that will keep the property beau-tiful for years to come and will protect the trees.”

Phase I of the master site plan focuses on the exterior of the property. Plans are in place to keep most of the existing trees and add 30 new ones, creating a community park for families and groups to gather to celebrate the arts and other events.

Landscape architect Mark By-ington, creator of the TFAC plan, says, “Several noble trees have been selected for the project, including Overcup oak, swamp white oak, Princeton American elm, tulip poplar, tupelo and stee-ple sugar maple. These regionally

native species and varieties were chosen for their climactic adapt-ability and dependability in terms of strong, uniform growth and disease and pest resistance.”

Tree work will begin in early June. Phase I is scheduled to be complete by March of 2013. More information regarding the TFAC project can be found at the project website: www.tfacmasterplan.com or by calling 828-859-8322.

Tryon Fine Arts Center, locat-ed on Melrose Avenue in Tryon, has been a center for participation in the visual and performing arts for more than 43 years.

Appearances can be not only deceiving but frightening as well.

If you are at all familiar with the Episcopal Church you know that we clergy like to dress up for services, usually in outfits designed in the middle ages for the north Yorkshire dales and times when heating of any kind was minimal at best. For outdoor services that usually means a cassock (long black wool coat), surplice (volumi-nous white shroud-like cotton robe over the cassock), stole or tippet (long and wide colored scarf), Canterbury cap or biretta (funny looking four-cornered black hats), academic hood (flashy, silky, non-functional thing) and in inclement weather a capa nigra (an ankle length wool cape with a huge hood) – all that over modern street

clothes, no less! When fully ar-rayed we can be an impressive, though sweltering, sight.

Several years ago I had the occasion to officiate at a funeral in Hampton, Va., right on the Chesapeake Bay. Our instruc-tions from the deceased were to celebrate her life in the beach house she so loved and then to cast her ashes into the bay. It was all simple enough, and a wonder-ful celebration of her life at the house went off without a hitch. But then it was time to go to the beach. Wearing all the gear de-scribed above while cradling the ashes in one arm and my prayer book in the other, we set out in the teeth of a stiff November wind to commit the intended’s ashes to the deep. Walking down the house steps and out along the boardwalk to the dunes I knew

I was in trouble. The wind kept snatching at my robes like they were clipper ship sails and I was hard pressed to stay upright, let alone make much in the way of forward progress. Taking a deep breath, I staggered up the stile to cross the dunes and braced myself at the top just as a gust caught my cape and surplice and blew it all out in a huge boil-ing cloud. But I was prepared for that and had braced myself against the rail. However, the poor beachcomber approaching from the other direction was not prepared at all.

He looked to be about 40 years old, tanned with long blond whiskers and dreadlocks. He carried an ancient rucksack and was wearing ragged khaki shorts and a tie-dyed T-shirt circa 1968. A length of twine

Appearances can cause problems • Appearances(continued from page 8)


linked him to his hyper little Jack Russell terrier. The man’s expression when he looked up and saw standing over him a large bearded apparition car-rying a funeral urn and a large black book, wholly enveloped in a whirling mass of black and white robes, can only be de-scribed as terrified. With a shriek of horror he threw the rucksack in my general direction, turned and sprinted off down the beach with his little dog yelping pite-ously in his wake.

Trying to maintain some shred of dignity I struggled down the remaining steps to the soft wet sand, where I paused to gather myself, opened the urn, said the prayers of com-mittal and cast the ashes into the sea – just before being hit waist-high by the incoming tide. Dragging my poor soaked and bedraggled self back to the

dunes I was greeted by howls of laughter and joy from the watching funeral party, who had observed it all. Well, so much for clerical aplomb.

To this day there is a story circulating around Chesapeake Bay of the time when the death angel appeared one dark No-vember evening to terrorize poor beachcombers and their little dogs before disappear-ing into the waves, perhaps to return again.

Nope! Not gonna happen! Nuh-uh!

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongue’s roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascar’s primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemur’s natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Appearances can be not only deceiving but frightening as well.

If you are at all familiar with the Episcopal Church you know that we clergy like to dress up for services, usually in outfits designed in the middle ages for the north Yorkshire dales and times when heating of any kind was minimal at best. For outdoor services that usually means a cassock (long black wool coat), surplice (volumi-nous white shroud-like cotton robe over the cassock), stole or tippet (long and wide colored scarf), Canterbury cap or biretta (funny looking four-cornered black hats), academic hood (flashy, silky, non-functional thing) and in inclement weather a capa nigra (an ankle length wool cape with a huge hood) – all that over modern street

clothes, no less! When fully ar-rayed we can be an impressive, though sweltering, sight.

Several years ago I had the occasion to officiate at a funeral in Hampton, Va., right on the Chesapeake Bay. Our instruc-tions from the deceased were to celebrate her life in the beach house she so loved and then to cast her ashes into the bay. It was all simple enough, and a wonder-ful celebration of her life at the house went off without a hitch. But then it was time to go to the beach. Wearing all the gear de-scribed above while cradling the ashes in one arm and my prayer book in the other, we set out in the teeth of a stiff November wind to commit the intended’s ashes to the deep. Walking down the house steps and out along the boardwalk to the dunes I knew

I was in trouble. The wind kept snatching at my robes like they were clipper ship sails and I was hard pressed to stay upright, let alone make much in the way of forward progress. Taking a deep breath, I staggered up the stile to cross the dunes and braced myself at the top just as a gust caught my cape and surplice and blew it all out in a huge boil-ing cloud. But I was prepared for that and had braced myself against the rail. However, the poor beachcomber approaching from the other direction was not prepared at all.

He looked to be about 40 years old, tanned with long blond whiskers and dreadlocks. He carried an ancient rucksack and was wearing ragged khaki shorts and a tie-dyed T-shirt circa 1968. A length of twine

Appearances can cause problems • Appearances(continued from page 8)


linked him to his hyper little Jack Russell terrier. The man’s expression when he looked up and saw standing over him a large bearded apparition car-rying a funeral urn and a large black book, wholly enveloped in a whirling mass of black and white robes, can only be de-scribed as terrified. With a shriek of horror he threw the rucksack in my general direction, turned and sprinted off down the beach with his little dog yelping pite-ously in his wake.

Trying to maintain some shred of dignity I struggled down the remaining steps to the soft wet sand, where I paused to gather myself, opened the urn, said the prayers of com-mittal and cast the ashes into the sea – just before being hit waist-high by the incoming tide. Dragging my poor soaked and bedraggled self back to the

dunes I was greeted by howls of laughter and joy from the watching funeral party, who had observed it all. Well, so much for clerical aplomb.

To this day there is a story circulating around Chesapeake Bay of the time when the death angel appeared one dark No-vember evening to terrorize poor beachcombers and their little dogs before disappear-ing into the waves, perhaps to return again.

Nope! Not gonna happen! Nuh-uh!

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Well the early summer pat-terns have settled in on our area lakes. Which isn’t all bad; early summer fishin’ is much easier than the late summer heat of August and September.

Fish like largemouth and smallmouth bass, white bass and bream are post spawn and feeding up from the stresses of the spawn. The water temp is normally in the mid- to-high 70s, which is rather comfortable to the cold-blooded creatures.

Fish will visit the banks early and late in the day, but will go deeper or offshore in the mid parts of the day. While fishing is never a sure thing, playing the odds and fishing shallow early then progressing deeper as the sun rises improves your chances.

But fish have their on agenda sometimes so they can show up when and where they want, if you aint catchin’ ‘em, try somewhere different, even if it’s not where they are “supposed” to be.

Tactics Plastic worms are a staple for

catching largemouth and small-

mouth bass. Worms work in some fashion year round; they are not known for catching big fish, but it can and does happen. Worms are very versatile – you can fish them shallow, deep, slow, fast, etc.

Texas rigs are my favorite way to fish worms; you can cast tight to cover and thru cover easier with a Texas rig than most other rigs. It is the most versatile way to rig a worm. You can jig, drag, “doodle,” swim, etc. with this rig.

A Carolina rigged worm is great to cover open wa-ter points, flats and places with relatively clean bottoms. You can fish it faster to cover more water. The bait being spaced away from the sinker drastically changes the action of the bait, and can cause fish to bite when they might pass up another rig.

The drop shot is ever increas-ing in popularity. Originally designed to fish vertical in deep clear reservoirs, anglers are now adapting it to fish it in many situ-ations. It can be fished vertical in heavy cover when fished weed-less. It can also be fished close to dock posts and dams and it’s

even being cast to the bank and worked back to the boat much like a Texas rig.

There are literally thousands, yes thousands of color and bait style combinations to choose from. While all will catch fish, even the bright pink, chartruese, electric blues, polka dotted and the like, I try to stay with the basics that work for me. Simple fishing is the way I roll. I have a very big bag filled with endless color and worm styles, but 90 percent of my fishing is done with four or five styles of worms and about three or four colors. Find what works for you and stay with it.

MOTION Dance+Theatre at TFAC June 21MOTION Dance +Theatre will

present a program called “Cre-ation of Dance” at the Tryon Fine Arts Center on Thursday, June 21 at 7 p.m. The program will feature three world-premiere works cre-ated especially for this occasion, as well as moderated discussion on the creative process.

How do you keep a centuries old art form feeling relevant? Can something commonly linked to beauty and purity also give voice to complicated world issues?

These are precisely the ques-tions Asheville area native Nick Kepley said he is asking him-self. And with the creation of his dance company, MOTION Dance+Theatre, he said he began to find the answers.

Kepley describes MOTION as a “choreographic laboratory,” rather than a traditional concert performance company. Each summer, he chooses six dancers and two guest choreographers and provides them with three weeks of restriction-free time to create.

Kepley, who has danced pro-fessionally with Ballet Austin and Kansas City Ballet as well as on Broadway, founded the company in 2010.

The company performed three sold-out performances at Dance Theatre Workshop. But Kepley found the financial realities of running a dance company in the Big Apple could not be ignored.

“It didn’t look like we’d be able to repeat it,” Kepley said. “I was really discouraged because everyone who had been involved seemed to really love the experi-ence.”

Then, in early 2011, calls began to come in from North Carolina supporters.

“We don’t get to see a lot of professional dance in Asheville,” Kepley said. “For a city that offers so much diverse culture, it’s still really lacking in that area.”

Besides the opportunity for artistic creation, a lack of dance awareness in modern culture was Kepley’s motivation.

“I want ballet to feel important; to feel current,” Kepley said. “I want people to understand that it can convey complex ideas and emotions and that it’s not just tutus and tiaras.”

Six dancers from Ballet Aus-tin, Colorado Ballet, Kansas City Ballet and Nashville Ballet will travel to Asheville to participate

in the residency this summer. Kepley will create a new ballet set to an original piano composition by University of North Carolina School of the Arts graduate Bruce Tippette. He has also invited two other choreographers to par-ticipate in the project: Gabrielle Lamb and Brian Carey Chung.

Chung, who has his own com-pany called Collective Body Dance Lab in New York City, has created works for Cedar Lake II and Connecticut Ballet.

“When you’re a freelancer… and based in New York, every-thing becomes that much more difficult,” Lamb said. “This is a wonderful chance to have that all taken care of, to go someplace and to concentrate on the work.”

Kepley said MOTION believes it can challenge and inspire people to think about art in a new way.

“The audience may come and see something new and be absolutely captivated,” Kepley said. “We hope that they leave with thoughts and questions. We don’t even mind if they don’t love everything they see. We just want them to think.”
