Pack submits proposed budget with tax refundMcDermott says Pack ‘trying to play Santa Claus’by Leah Justice

Polk County Commissioner Tom Pack has submitted his own budget recommendation for fiscal year 2011-12 that includes a tax

decrease for residents and raises for some sheriff, jail and commu-nication employees. It also keeps the health insurance deductible for employees at $500.

Commissioner Ted Owens said he agrees with Pack’s pro-posal, but commissioners Ray Gasperson and Renée McDer-mott said Pack’s proposal is not

sustainable for future years and takes these gifts out of the coun-ty’s savings, or fund balance.

Pack said he knew going into the budget process that Polk County does not have a revenue problem. Pack said his budget corrects what he sees as incon-

2011 CCC Horse Driving Trial May 28-29 at FENCEThe Carolina Carriage Club

will host its seventh annual Horse Driving Trial on Memorial Day weekend, May 28-29, at Foot-hills Equestrian Nature Center (FENCE).

In addition to enjoying the nature center trails and the attrac-tions of the equestrian center, you can watch 39 competitors exhibit their carriage driving skills. Ac-tion begins at 8 a.m. as drivers warm up for the start of dressage and cones on Saturday and the marathon on Sunday. The show is free for spectators.

Organizers Price Story of Mills River, N.C., and Jackie Lewis of Columbus said the show has 39 entries this year.

Two drivers from 2010 return to compete in this year’s Prelimi-nary Single Pony Division: Suzan Sallstrom of Leesville, S.C., with her Morgan, Malvern’s Firefly and Sue Carrier of Columbus with her husband’s Arab/Andalusian/Haflinger Cross, Willow, Sallstrom and Carrier will meet several chal-lengers moving up from Training Single Pony to Preliminary.

Leading the group of chal-lengers is Claire Moore of Co-lumbus with Dale Govus’ Welsh Cob, Lemon Tree Magic Illusion. Moore was first in her 2010 class, with a score of 45.13. Next is Peggy Keeler of Aiken, S.C., with her Canadian Sport Pony, Jumpin’ Jack Flash. They were first in their class last year with 58.22. Other competitors in this class include Alice Baughman of Ridgeville, S.C., and her German Riding Pony, Scooter (second place last year with 62.31), and Gloria Rip-perton of Pittsboro, N.C., and her Morgan, Nemo (third last year with 70.22). (Note: Since elapsed time within the Marathon Hazards does not count in the Training Division as it does in Preliminary, there is no point comparing divi-sion scores.)

Pam Gordon of Tryon and her Welsh Cob, Solstice Sangria, move up from Training to Preliminary Single Horse to challenge two experienced Preliminary Hackney horses, Halstead by Legacy, owned and driven by Marcie Quist of Vass,

N.C., and Green Meadows Regalia, owned and driven by Amy Neary of Strawberry Plains, Tenn.

Reba Wagner from Cedar Grove, N.C., will bring her pair of Percheron geldings, Lewis and Clark.

The tandem pair of Joanie Schisler, of Aiken, S.C., should be interesting as this formation is a challenge to drive; the lead horse is not attached to the carriage

other than by very flexible traces. Winston, an Arabian Gelding, will lead wheeler Barley, a Morgan gelding and frequent participant in CCC events.

It always seems to take a cast of thousands to produce a driving event (marathon judges and timers, scribes, cones pushers and timers, hospitality, EMT, crossing guards, farriers, vet services, announcers, starters and score runners). In fact,

53 dedicated volunteers will care for the 39 entries, organized by volunteer coordinator Carol Greata of Campobello.

sistencies in some employee salaries. For example, he said he doesn’t think people realize that some employees in the sheriff, jail and communication offices are making less than the person who cleans the Womack building.

“I think the justification is easily seen for these changes when you look at the duties these people perform,” Pack said. (See above for Pack’s full narrative on his proposed budget.)

Pack also said although some may argue he is pulling $244,798 out of fund balance to help give taxpayers a tax cut of $300,445, he doesn’t feel that way. He said the county’s proposed budget does not pull capital expendi-tures from the fund balance, so

the county needs to return some of the excess revenue to the taxpayer.

Pack said the county received $1,426,281 in excess revenues last budget year and $1,593,744 the previous year and those ex-cess trends have been the case since 2005.

“I believe that we are over-charging the taxpayers and that is why I show giving the taxpayers a $300,444.60 tax cut,” Pack said.

According to the Polk County Finance Office, one penny in Polk County’s tax rate equals ap-proximately $262,770 in revenue, so Pack’s proposal would mean just over a penny decrease to the county’s current 52 cents per $100 of property valuation.

But commissioner McDermott

• Pack budget(Continued from page 1)


Commissioner Pack explains his Polk budget proposalEditor’s note: Following is

a narrative provided by Polk County Commissioner Tom Pack explaining the budget proposal he submitted to commissioners on Monday, 16, 2011.

Let me say that going into the budget process I was aware Polk County does not have a revenue problem. Polk County has a prob-lem of spending and prioritization. I begin to address these issues in my proposed changes to the budget. I could go much farther in cuts but I want to get the other commission-ers over the fear of that we are tight on money.

Page 1 contains the reductions that I see that can easily be made. It will delay a couple of projects but will not be detrimental to Polk County. These can easily be included in the next budget as the budget we are working on contains $400,000 worth of one-time expenditures.

Page 2 contains increases to the budget that I feel are necessary to be fair with the employees. His-

torically, Polk County government employees’ salaries have been lower than the private sector in most cases. The lower salary has been offset with better benefits such as medical insurance. In the manager’s proposed budget, the deductible for the employees insurance would increase by $1,000 for an individual. I did not believe this to be fair as most of their salaries are lower than comparable jobs in the private sector. The county employees have not seen an increase in salary for the last three years.

I also tried to start correcting what I feel are inconsistencies in pay for some county employees. You will see small salary increases in the sheriff, jail and communica-tion salary lines. This increases the salaries of some in these depart-ments that were making less than the person that cleans the Womack Building. I don’t think people real-ized that some of the Detention Officers in the jail or the people that work in Communications were

making less than the person that does the cleaning of the Womack Building. I think the justification is easily seen for these changes when you look at the duties these people perform.

Page 3 contains the capital ex-penditures listed in the proposed manager’s budget. I have not made any changes here but some could be delayed to save more but I don’t think I would get the support for further reductions.

starts by showing the excess revenue ($1,426,281) that the county brought in during the 2009 – 2010 budget period before commissioners decided to amend the budget and spend more than was proposed when the budget was initially adopted. These increases in spending are called budget amend-ments that pull monies from fund balance.

I believe that capital expendi-tures should be tied to the excess revenue from the prior budget. I believe no more than 60 percent ($855,768.60) of the prior year excess revenue should go to normal capital expenditures. The remaining 40 percent ($570,512.40) should increase the un-appropriated fund balance for future large capital expenditures that are well planned

in a future needs forecast such as new buildings, etc…. The proposed manager’s budget does not adhere to this, so the $555,324 of capital expenditures from page 3 for this year’s budget comes from revenues, not un-appropriated fund balance. I did not propose changing this but believe it should be instituted next budget. I simply showed how the numbers would look if we did adhere to this in the manager’s proposed budget.

So, with this being said, the county received $1,426,281 in excess revenues last budget year and $1,593,744 the year before that. If you look back this has been the case since 2005. I believe that we are overcharging the taxpayers and that is why I show giving the taxpayers a $300,444.60 tax cut. Some will argue that I am pulling some ($244,797.60) of this out of fund balance. I am doing this due to the fact that we are not pulling capital expenditures in the budget from fund balance so we need to return some of the excess revenue to the taxpayer. I believe that we should be able to give another tax cut next year if we as commission-ers don’t try to spend every dime the county receives in revenues whether budgeted or excess.


said Pack’s budget is an attempt at alchemy and doesn’t work. McDer-mott said Pack is trying to play Santa Claus with the taxpayers’ money by providing unsustainable gifts for some, especially some employees, but there will not be enough revenue to continue those gifts next year or following years.

“Tom draws heavily on the tax-

payers’ savings, the fund balance, to pay for this year’s gifts,” McDermott said. “Then what will happen?”

(See above for comments from commissioners McDermott, Owens and Gasperson.)

McDermott also said Pack’s bud-get will require a tax increase next year, an election year, which she said the fiscally responsible commission-ers would have to vote for and Pack would refuse to vote for.

“(Pack) would then blame his

own fiscal mess on the respon-sible majority, right in time for the election,” said McDermott. “If the county manager had recommended the same budget Tom Pack has pro-duced, we would have to fire him.”

Commissioners have not yet publicly discussed Pack’s budget recommendation. The county meets again on Monday, June 6 at the Saluda Library. A budget workshop will be at 6 p.m. and the regular meeting at 7 p.m.

The county manager’s budget proposal includes no tax increases or decreases, no employee sal-ary increases and an increase in employee insurance deductibles from $500 to $1,000 a month beginning Jan. 1, 2012, as well as copay increases.

The county plans to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget on June 13 and adopt the budget on June 20. The new fiscal year begins July 1.

• Pack budget(Continued from page 4)

McDermott, Owens, Gasperson comment on Pack budget proposalEditor’s note: Following

are comments provided by Polk County commissioners Renée McDermott, Ted Owens and Ray Gasperson in response to Tom Pack’sbudget proposal.

Renée McDermott: Tom Pack’s budget is an attempt at al-chemy, an attempt to make gold out of base metal; but it still doesn’t work. At best, it is fool’s gold. He raids the fund balance, the county’s savings, to pay for one years oper-

ating costs. What about next year, and the next? It’s not sustainable.

He guts the planning depart-ment’s funds for the comprehen-sive plan and unified develop-ment ordinance (UDO) in attempt to cripple that work. He and Ted Owens want to make Polk County an easier place for hous-ing development, even though we have up to 6,000 approved or in the works lots standing idle. He also cuts planning board funds

for attorneys’ fees, further crip-pling the comprehensive plan and UDO.

Tom’s budget is just plain bad for Polk County.

Another way to describe Tom Pack’s budget is that he is try-ing to play Santa Claus with the taxpayers’ money. He tries to provide unsustainable gifts for some, especially some of the employees, but there will not be enough tax dollars to continue

them next year or after that. Tom draws heavily on the taxpayers’ savings, the fund balance, to pay for this year’s gifts. Then what will happen? With next year be-ing an election year, he knows that his own budget this year would require a tax increase that the fiscally responsible commis-sioners would have to vote for but Tom would refuse to vote for.



He would then blame his own fiscal mess on the responsible majority, right in time for the election.

If the county manager had rec-ommended the same budget Tom Pack has produced, we would have to fire him.

Ted Owens: I’m in full agree-ment with commissioner Pack’s budget proposal.

(1) Tax cut: His fact about the “Excess w/o FB Appropriation year ending June 30 2010 of $1.4 million” is evidence that the tax rate set after the revaluation was not revenue neu-tral, but an increase in taxes. Another evidence is with the capital spending that was done and there was still an increase in the fund balance. There-fore, the taxpayer deserves a tax cut.

(2) Keeping the employees in-surance deductible at the present $500. We have to understand that the county’s employees pay is not the best. They have not had a raise in almost three years. Raising their deductible is really giving them a pay cut.

(3) Giving some of the employees in the sheriff’s office, jail and animal control and the communication department is essential because of past practices that left these em-ployees out.

I frankly feel we should do more.

One of the things I would like to look at is the $35 Landfill Transfer Fee (tax). I think commissioner Pack’s budget is a good start in the right direction.

Ray Gasperson: There are sev-eral parts of commissioner Pack’s budget proposal that I find very troubling, such as cutting funding for Lake Adger Dam repair, lowering fuel contingency funding (to cover high gasoline costs for the sheriff’s office, EMS and other essential ve-hicles) and stopping necessary con-tracted services in order to achieve the next step of the 20/20 Vision plan. At the same time Pack advo-cates giving pay increases to a few select county employees, but not to all of the other employees. However, what is most troubling and fiscally irresponsible of Pack’s proposal is his advocacy of giving a very mod-est property tax cut and funding it by pulling from the county’s savings (fund balance).

I will only vote to approve a budget that is fiscally responsible, sustainable without a tax increase this coming fiscal year (2011-2012) and next (2012-2013), and does not pull from the county’s savings for normal operating expenses for this year and next. Not only does com-missioner Pack’s budget proposal fail my standards, its adoption would put Polk County on a very dangerous financial road.

Carolina Camera Club meets Jan. 11The next meeting of the Caro-

lina Camera Club will be on Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Isothermal Community Col-lege in Columbus.

Join the club for a presentation titled “Digital After Dark” pre-sented by Kevin Adams. Adams has been teaching and leading photo tours in North Carolina since the early 1990s and has produced several books that have become valuable tools to many local photographers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Today’s digital cameras give us the ability to make images that we could not have dreamed of back in the film days. Nowhere is this truer than with night pho-

tography. Now we can literally shoot for the stars.

For those who associate night photography only with subjects like fireworks, cityscapes, and street scenes, you’re in for a surprise. In this eye-opening presentation, Kevin will share his techniques for photographing a variety of nighttime subjects, from the ordinary to the “Wow, I never would have thought of that!”

Attendees are advised to use caution before attending this presentation, however. Once you see all the exciting things you can do with your camera at night, you might be losing a lot of sleep from then on.

“Those eighteen, who were killed when the tower of Siloam fell on them – do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others living in Jerusalem?” (Luke 13:4)

those hundreds, who were killed in Joplin and tuscaloosa when tornadoes destroyed businesses and homes – were they more evil than we?

In the face of multiple natural and man-made disasters the question naturally arises, “Why?”

For those of us who believe that god is good; that god loves us and wishes only the best for us; that God does not visit destruction on anyone purely out of anger, making sense of those recent events can be a tremendous challenge.

While there are passages of the Bible that would support a theology of retribution (particularly in the old testament), Jesus’ own teaching describes God much as did the Psalmist: “the Lord is merciful and

Faith despite disasters gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. he will not always accuse, nor will he keep his anger for ever. he does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.” (Psalm 110:8-10 nRSV).

For those of us who believe that the fullness of God’s mercy is made evident in the person of Jesus Christ (John 14:9-11), and that on the cross God bore the weight of our rebellion and misdeeds through the Son, and that in the resurrection God wholly vindicated that act of divine love; we thereby know that God has given us the opportunity to love God for love’s sake alone and not out of fear.

in short, “he does not deal

with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities.”

our world is fraught with dangers, both natural and man-made, and it is tempting to question God’s love for us when disasters of one sort or another devastate lives.

however, God ordered the universe at the beginning of creation and it follows patterns laid down from the beginning of time. tornadoes, earthquakes and floods are not evil in themselves, but they do cause terrible pain and suffering.

When human sin creates situations that hurt us it is not God at fault but human free will making wrong choices that cause us distress. When we find ourselves caught up in such turmoil god is

always present to love us and help us through the pain and suffering. god has no need to punish us here and now, we are quite adept at doing that all on our own.

So what about those 18 Galileans killed in the tower of Siloam, or those hundreds who died in the tornados?

Were they worse than we?no.The galileans died in an

accident and tornados are natural disasters which catch up both the good and the bad.

In the end the lesson is this: we never know when an unexpected event may take our life, so it is of the utmost importance that we live each day prepared to come face to face with the god whose love for us passes all understanding.

Polk Middle students participate in TIP program

Duke TIP participants: Front row: Nicolas Barwell, Callie Keeter, Conner McCarthy, Madison Arrowood and Savannah Robbins. Back row: Sam Murray, Will Sachse, Jacob Russel, Grace Marshall, Colleen Burke and Justine Jones (not pictured: Samantha Haase). (photo submitted)

Callie Keeter, Grace Marshall, Conner McCarthy, Colleen Burke, Madison Arrowood and Will Sachse were TIP participants who qualified for state recognition. (photo submitted)

Twelve seventh grade stu-dents from Polk County Middle School participated in the Duke University Talent Identification Program (TIP) this year. The seventh-grade talent search identifies talented seventh grad-ers based on standardized test scores achieved in sixth grade.

These candidates are invited to complete the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT Assessment college entrance exam.

Of those PCMS students who took the four hour SAT or ACT test, six students’ scores qualified them for the state recognition cer-emony. These six students scored

at or above the 50th percentile compared to juniors and seniors in high school across the nation.

The Duke TIP was estab-lished in 1980 to cultivate and enrich the education of gifted and talented youth.

Operation Fan/Heat Relief kicks off 25th year in North CarolinaOperation Fan/Heat Re-

lief, a summer fan distribu-tion program that operates each year throughout North Carolina, is now under way.

This summer marks the 25th anniversary of the pro-gram that began in 1986 and is managed by the Division of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) in the North Caro-lina Department of Health and Human Services.

“For many years, Domin-ion Resources, Duke Energy, Progress Energy and the

Valassis Giving Committee have donated generously to support this important pro-gram,” said Dennis Streets, DAAS director. “The pro-gram is successful because of the concerted efforts of the 17 regional Area Agencies on Aging and the local aging and adult service provider agencies which purchase and make fans available to eligible people.”

Last year, donations to-taled $135,500 and with these funds, 8,435 fans and 83 air

conditioners were distrib-uted. In certain counties, air conditioners are made avail-able for people with more se-rious health problems. There is no public money associated with this project.

People who are 60 or older or people with disabilities are eligible to receive one fan per year to help alleviate heat problems within their home.

“This is much more than a comfort issue as it really helps protect the health and safety of some of our most

vulnerable citizens living in communities across North Carolina,” Streets said.

More information on local provider agencies distribut-ing the fans can be found on the web at www.ncdhhs.gov/aging/heat.htm, by calling the regional Area Agency on Aging or by contacting Pam Doty at The Senior Center at 828-894-0001 (the phone number listed on the website is incorrect).

Carl Sandburg Home Nation-al Historic Site will host the an-nual Carl Sandburg Folk Music Festival on Monday, Memorial Day, May 30.

This free festival offers live music performances from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. The folk festival honors Carl Sandburg and his preservation of traditional folk music as found in his collection, “The American Songbag.”

The festival’s performers each demonstrate the tradition of per-forming live music to tell stories while capturing the heritage of America through song.

At 10 a.m. Jhon Akers, who performs at many local venues, will present “Carl Sandburg and the Spanish Guitar.” At 11 a.m. Lucy Allen & Marshall Goers will sing and play folk music on the guitar, banjo and mandolin.

At noon the Buddy Davis Band will play folk music from Sandburg’s “American Song-bag” on guitar, autoharp and dulcimer. At 1 p.m. The Possum Creek String band will play old time music on guitar, bass and

Carl Sandburg Folk Music Festivalfiddle. At 2 p.m. “America’s Balladeer,” John McCutcheon, performs on hammered dulcimer, autoharp and guitar.

Steve Smith will be perform-ing hammered dulcimer music at the historic barn area from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Sandburg began playing the guitar in the early 1900s to en-hance his lectures. He played the guitar, banjo and harmonica and collected a series of folk songs, which he published in his book, “The American Songbag.”

Sandburg performed during the era of Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrey and was the mentor for Burl Ives.

T h i s e v e n t i s f r e e . Carl Sandburg Home National Historic Site is located four miles south of Hendersonville off U.S. 225 on Little River Road. The park is open from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. daily, except Christmas Day.

For further information, call 828-693-4178, or visit www.nps.gov/carl.

Tryon Painters and Sculp-tors will host Suzanne Doyle at the next Art, Wine and Cheese presentation Tuesday, May 31 at 4 p.m. in the lower level of the Tryon Fine Arts Center.

The Polk County Extension Office is offering a “Canning and Preserving Made Easy” series of workshops. The first in the series of workshops is “Canning Made Easy,” an overview of canning fruits and vegetables, and will be held at the Polk County Extension Center on June 9. This two-hour workshop will be at 2 p.m. and another at 6 p.m. Both classes cover the same materials.

The second canning work-shop, “Canning Jam, Jellies and Pickles” will be on June 16. This workshop will also be a two-hour class with one class at 2 p.m. and one at 6 p.m. The “Ball Blue Book of Canning” will be available for sale during both classes.

Preserving food cannot be considered new and trendy, but the recent revival fits the modern renaissance of handcrafted food, heirloom agriculture and using food in its season.

“There’s an incredible surge of interest recently,” said Jimmi Buell, family and consumer sci-ence agent with the Polk County Center of N.C. Cooperative Ex-tension Services. “People want to take back their food and their skills from the industrial giants. In a time of high food prices, job losses and food safety scares,’ home canning is booming.”

Stacks of locally grown, peak-ripe produce are about to appear at farmers markets, roadside stand and backyards all over the county. This is the window of opportunity to preserve all of nature’s bounty.

“The thoughts of home can-ning, whether you are a pro or a novice, can be overwhelming,” said Buell, “but with the help of the Extension Office, we can make the process manageable.”

Call the Polk County Center of N.C. Cooperative Extension Ser-vice at 828-894-8218 to reserve your space for these workshops or if you have any questions.
