Her vibrancy and enthusiasm belie her age, making her seem far younger than the 81 years she claims to have lived.

Elaine, who is the daughter of Greek immigrants and was married to a Greek- American, joined her family here after retiring from the Department of Hu- man Services in Princeton, N.J. “For two years, I would not go to the senior center,” Jerome said.

Spectacular wildflowers in the Piedmont A friend visiting last week from the Carolina mountains inquired of some locals about locations of spectacular wildflower displays here in the Piedmont. He was surprised by the response. Spectacular wild- flowers and the Piedmont don’t go together, he was told. It’s an oxymoron! I didn’t have opportunity to convince my friend otherwise because he was intent to be on his way on a two-week journey chasing wildflowers in the east- ern coastal swamps and savan- nahs. He had little enthusiasm for what our local Piedmont may have to offer.

My enthusiasm for this local mountain did not impress him. Before he left, however, I gave him lengthy descriptions of other Piedmont locations of spectacular wildflowers. I described the far-as-the-eye- could-see display of Dutchman’s breeches on the Flat River north of Durham.

Carrboro library cuts on the table County budget proposal drops tax rate to 85.8 cents BY KIRK ROSS Staff Writer HILLSBOROUGH — e Orange County Board of Commissioners de- bated proposed cuts in services Tues- day night, including the permanent closure of the Carrboro Branch Li- brary at McDougle Middle School. e discussion came after a pre- sentation by County Manager Laura Blackmon of a proposed $177,589,039 budget for fiscal 2010, a drop of $5.4 million, or about 3 percent, from the budget adopted by commissioners last year. e school budget would drop by about $3.1 million and other coun- ty departments and programs would see a cut of about $2.3 million. e proposal sets a tax rate of 85.8 cents per $100 valuation for the bud- get year beginning July 1, down from the current rate of 99.8 cents due to this year’s property revaluation. Al- though officially defined as revenue neutral under state rules, most county property owners would see an increase in their property tax bills, since the rate makes up for recession-driven re- ductions in vehicle taxes. County budget director Donna Cof- fey said the budget picture is somewhat better than the last outlook provided for commissioners, as a result of updated numbers from the property revalua- tion and due to a lower than anticipated drop in sales tax revenue. She said early projections were for a 10 to 15 percent drop in sales tax revenues, but the actual reduction so far is closer to 2 percent. SEE COUNTY PAGE 7 Manager recommends no tax increase BY SUSAN DICKSON Staff Writer CARRBORO — e Carrboro Board of Aldermen got its first look at Town Manager Steve Stewart’s $19.1 million fiscal 2010 recommended operating budget on Tuesday, which includes a revenue-neutral property tax rate of 58.94 cents per $100 of property valuation. While the tax rate provides no increase in revenue for the town, taxpayers could see an increase in their tax bills, depending on how the recent revaluation affected their property values. e budget includes $19,075,434 in recommended general fund ex- penditures and revenues, with prop- erty and sales tax accounting for 73 percent of revenues. e budget year begins July 1. Town officials expect sales tax rev- enues to decrease by more than 9 per- cent in the coming fiscal year in addi- tion to a significant reduction in grant funds from the state, equaling about 2 cents on the property tax rate. “I’m hopeful that we will do better than this, but every month for the past number of months we’ve seen a decline overall, so we want to be very conserva- tive and very safe,” Stewart said. How- ever, he added, “Locally, we’re doing better than much of the state.” e recommended 58.94 cent tax rate was adjusted down from the fiscal 2009 rate of 68.63 cents to account for the recent property revaluation. is year’s revaluation produced a tax base of nearly $1.9 billion, compared with about $1.6 billion in fiscal 2009. Stewart said that while the tax base is larger than that of last year, the ad- justed tax rate would level out town revenues from property taxes. “We don’t get any more money out of the revaluation,” he said. e town’s key interests in creating a budget, Stewart said, were to avoid a tax-rate increase while maintain- ing current service levels and active employees’ jobs and benefits and continuing with long-term planned capital initiatives. SEE TAXES PAGE 3 Carolina North hearing highlights traffic impact BY KIRK ROSS Staff Writer CHAPEL HILL — More lanes along sections of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, traffic circles there and on Estes Drive and at Rogers Road and Homestead Road, speed tables in Elkins Hills and other neighbor- hoods and even a “minor restriping” in downtown Carrboro are among the possible ways to mitigate a surge in traffic predicted to accompany the buildout of Carolina North. A traffic impact study on the uni- versity’s proposal to develop an aca- demic mixed-use campus on its Hor- ace Williams property was reviewed Monday night at Town Hall as the Chapel Hill Town Council opened three public hearings on the project. One hearing looks at the details of a proposed new zone called U-1 for University 1. e other two hearings are on the request to rezone 643 acres of the Horace Williams property to the new zone and the extensive de- velopment agreement that’s been the subject of negotiations between town and university officials for more than a year. Town and university officials hope to complete an agreement on the project prior to the council’s summer break. In his introductory remarks, Da- vid Owens, a planning and zoning expert with the School of Govern- ment who has worked with the town on the negotiations, said the new zone and the development agreement go hand in hand. While there has been considerable progress since ne- gotiations started in February 2008, there remain several details to work out in some of the 25 separate subject areas. In his initial walk-through of the project, Carolina North executive director Jack Evans said the develop- ment plan and the new zone would allow the university and the town “certainty, timeliness and predict- ability” during the buildout of the project. For review of the potential impact of the project, studies have fo- cused on two interim phases — one that supposes 800,000 square feet of construction by 2015 and another for 3 million square feet by 2025. e traffic impact analysis was the first detailed look at how the develop- ment might alter the local landscape. Traffic engineering consultant Chris Conklin said that by far the biggest impact will be due to new commuters coming into town from elsewhere in the Triangle. About 60 percent of the anticipated new jobs would travel from outside Chapel Hill and Carrboro. Most of those traveling into the area will use either I-40 or U.S. 15- 501 or both to get to Carolina North, Conklin said, with many of them likely to funnel into the Eubanks Road park-and-ride lot and on to buses for the final leg of the journey. Conklin noted that many of the intersections around the project are already congested and even without Carolina North are expected to reach unacceptable levels of delays by 2015. SEE HEARINGS PAGE 5

During our lives, we are introduced to countless people, some whose names we never catch or quickly forget, others who seem to instantly become a part of our circle. For me, Elaine Jerome became the latter when we met last December at a Seymour Center event. Her vibrancy and enthusiasm belie her age, making her seem far younger than the 81 years she claims to have lived.

At that introduction and in every phone conversation or meeting since, she has spoken of the concern that has become her driving force — finding a way for this community to provide more offerings for its young people.

“The seniors have been given so much in this community,” Jerome said. “Why isn’t someone speaking up for the teenagers?”

She moved here in 2000 to live near her daughter Andrea Jerome, married to Matt Barrett, and their daughter, Amarandi. Andrea and Matt met when they were teenagers and both were students at The American Acad-emy in Athens, Greece, where Matt’s father was a Fulbright Scholar and administrator, and Elaine, a regis-tered nurse and health educator, was

director of health services. That was in the late 1960s and early ’70s, but the couple did not marry until 1991, and settled in Carrboro to raise Amarandi, now 16. Though they also maintain a home in Greece, they picked Carrboro because that was where Matt’s mother, Riva Econopouly, had settled.

Elaine, who is the daughter of Greek immigrants and was married to a Greek-American, joined her family here after retiring from the Department of Hu-man Services in Princeton, N.J.

“For two years, I would not go to the senior center,” Jerome said. At 74, when she moved here, she considered herself too young to hang out with seniors and instead volunteered in the after-school program at Scroggs El-ementary School. “Then I discovered the unbelievable opportunities offered at the senior center.”

She had painted all her adult life, but at the senior center Herb Slapo introduced her to pastels, followed by classes in oil painting with David Sovero, who further expanded her cre-ative expression.

“Elaine came to my house to work with my daughter, teaching her art,” said Joy Javitz, a friend who stopped by Jerome’s Carrboro apartment af-

ter running an errand for her. Javitz’s daughter, Jackie, and Amarandi have been friends since age 2. “She’s a fabu-lous counselor for young people.”

Though shocked by recent school dropout rates, Jerome recognizes how traumatic the teen years can be and how easily some can lose their sense of direction.

“My objective is a teen center, and to have students involved in creating it,” she said, noting that discussions about a teen center during the planning stages for the Carrboro Century Center were dropped once it was completed.

She spent the winter talking to people and looking for others willing and able to expend energy and pur-sue grants and other funding, but she leaves for Greece in two weeks, where she will spend the summer with her family. She has a list of names of in-terested people she will contact after she returns.

“My dream is for a teen center on Main Street in every small town in the United States with the theme ‘Give us a voice,’” Jerome said. She plans to start in Carrboro.

If you want to be a part of her campaign or have ideas for her, write to her at [email protected]. When she returns in August, she hopes that other interested people will help provide a new sense of direction for meeting this need that would help keep kids in school, off the streets and away from destructive behaviors that lead to accidents, arrests and worse.

Spectacular wildflowers in the Piedmont

A friend visiting last week from the Carolina mountains inquired of some locals about locations of spectacular

wildflower displays here in the Piedmont. He was surprised by the response. Spectacular wild-flowers and the Piedmont don’t go together, he was told. It’s an oxymoron!

I didn’t have opportunity to convince my friend otherwise because he was intent to be on his way on a two-week journey chasing wildflowers in the east-ern coastal swamps and savan-nahs. He had little enthusiasm for what our local Piedmont may have to offer.

I had wanted to show him the spectacular mountain laurels, Kalmia latifolia, of Oc-coneechee Mountain, but he was not interested in a plant so common around his home turf. My enthusiasm for this local mountain did not impress him. Before he left, however, I gave him lengthy descriptions of other Piedmont locations of spectacular wildflowers.

I described the far-as-the-eye-could-see display of Dutchman’s breeches on the Flat River north of Durham. I described the river bottom, white with spring beauties, along the eno River at Hillsborough. I described Ma-son Farm Biological Reserve, where fields still spectacular with sweeps of copper-brown broom sedge will give way in another week to knock-your-socks-off spectacular Penstemons. Mason Farm alone provides year-round occurrences of impressive sea-sonal displays. The number of local wild flora sites is endless.

Carolina north hearing highlights traffic impactBy KirK rOssStaff Writer

CHApeL HILL — More lanes along sections of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, traffic circles there and on Estes Drive and at Rogers Road and Homestead Road, speed tables in Elkins Hills and other neighbor-hoods and even a “minor restriping” in downtown Carrboro are among the possible ways to mitigate a surge in traffic predicted to accompany the buildout of Carolina North.

“The economic crisis isfelt by everybody in thiscommunity,andputtingthisbudget together we tried tobe very sensitive to that,”Stewartsaid.

The budget represents anincreaseof$595,059overfis-calyear2009.Theincreasein-cludes non-recurring revenueand expenditure increases ininstallment proceeds to pur-chasevehiclesandequipment,a transfer from the capital

reserve fund to finance streetresurfacingandincomegener-atedfromrecurringrevenues.

Tokeepthetaxratedown,Stewart recommended thatonly the Human ServicesGrant Funding program beexpanded,withanincreaseofabout$10,000.

Stewartalsorecommendedthe temporary suspension ofthe town’s pay-for-perfor-manceplan.

“Notownemployeewouldreceive any salary increase,”Stewart said. He added thetownwouldn’tseeanincreasein health insurance rates be-

causetownstaffputoutare-quest for proposals on healthinsuranceplans.

Stewartalsorecommendedthetowncontinueasoftfreezeonvacantpositions.

According to Stewart, thetown could potentially fillvacantpoliceofficerpositionswith grants from within thefederal economic stimulusplan. Other opportunitiesfromthestimulusplanincludepossible funding for sidewalkprojects, bus shelters, bikelanes, fire substation fundingandmore.

Board members said they

were pleased with the budgetand commended Stewart forpreparingabudgetthatinclud-ed a revenue-neutral tax ratewhilemaintainingservices.

Millhouse Road transfer station site proposedBy TAyLOR SISkStaff Writer

The Orange County Boardof County Commissioners isholding awork session tonight(Thursday) with county staffandrepresentativesofCarrboro,Chapel Hill and Hillsboroughtodiscussplansforasolidwastetransferstation.

The agenda calls for discus-sion of the proposed site off

N.C. 54 in the White Crosscommunity, but it is also ex-pectedthatcommissionerswillhear from Chapel Hill MayorKevinFoyregardinghissugges-tionlastweekofaChapelHill-owned location on MillhouseRoad north of the new TownOperationsCenterasapossiblealternativetotheN.C.54site.

Foy’s suggestion has upsetresidents of the Rogers-Eu-banks neighborhood, who say

Millhouse Road lies withinthat historically black commu-nity, which has been home tothecountylandfillfor37years.With Eubanks Road havingbeen removed from consider-ation as a potential site, someresidents, including membersof the Rogers-Eubanks Neigh-borhood Association (RENA),wereangeredbytheMillhouseRoadproposal.

OnFriday,Foytookagroup

of residents on a tour of thesite,afterwhichRENAsentanopen letter toChapelHill andcountyofficialsstatingthatresi-dentshadbeenpolledandwere“adamantly against” a transferstation on Millhouse Road oranywhere else in the Rogers-Eubanksvicinity.

Themeetingwillbeat7p.m.attheSouthernHumanServic-esCenteronHomesteadRoad.

Whatkindofagraduationisit when you can’t shake hands?The answer to that is that it’s“one during a swine flu out-break.”Eventhoughwe’veseenonlyaboutsevencasesinNorthCarolina,thethreatoftheH1N1fluvirusandthevectorpotentialoftensofthousandsoftravelerspackedintoKenanStadiumtookall thetouchy-feelyoutofcom-mencement.Nohandshakes,noneck hugging and, if you don’tmind,pleasegoaheadandhoodyourownself.

Lovely ceremony, though,and all available online, in-cluding Archbishop Tutu’sspeech, which reminded usthat the best thing any com-mencement speaker—even aNobelPrizewinner—candoon Mother’s Day at Kenan isgive that fidgety crowd some-thingtochuckleabout.

All in all, better than lastyear, which lasted five or so

minutes, also had no heartyhandshakes and sent the Classof ’08intotheworldquitewetbehindtheears.

•A reminder that as of lastSaturday, the buses are nowon summer schedule throughAug.24.Fordowntowners,thatmeansCWandJendearlierintheevening—around7p.m.orbefore, depending on the stop.TheFrouteisunchanged.

• Chapel Hill Comics hadan interesting sales pitch onitsstreetsignthisweek:“FightThe Undead! Find Love! JaneAusten’s Pride & Prejudice &Zombies.”

•Wechecked,andthearchi-tectwhodesignedtheentrancerampsforthereconstructedMc-Donald’swasnotTonyHawk.

• Under further tales of re-construction, we’re likely tohearagoodbitaboutthefutureof Granville Towers and Uni-versity Square in the not toodistant future. University of-ficials and an as-yet-unnameddevelopment company are incontractnegotiations.

Oncethedealissigned,UNCandpartnerareexpectedtostartlaying some ideas on the table.Look for a rather large parkingdeckandaccessoffofCamerontobemajorpointsofdiscussion.

The additional transit use by then will put the North-South bus route at capacity, requiring at least two more buses and between 400 and 500 additional park-and-ride spaces. By 2025, the trip-generation number will rise to 40,000, driving the need for about 10 additional buses, a likely restructuring of the transit routes and about 1,500 additional park-and-ride spots.

The study supposes there will be roughly 5,000 additional park-

ing spaces at Carolina North, an amount that raised concern among several council members.

“I can’t imagine that much parking at the heart of town,” councilmember Bill Strom said.

Also at Monday’s hearing, members of Neighborhoods for Responsible Growth, a group that has hosted several neigh-borhood focus groups and a recent community meeting on Carolina North traffic, urged the council to push for mea-sures to reduce the impact on nearby neighborhoods.

NRG chair Madeline Jeffer-son said the council should also set up a mechanism to regularly measure the impact of the actual project and hold up construction if the results are out of line with expectations.

NRG member Alan Snavely also said the council should have some way of responding in case plans for traffic mitigation fail.

“Citizens want safeguards in place when plans for the develop-ment don’t work out,” he said.

Peggy Rich said her neighbors in Ironwoods are worried that a lot more traffic on Estes Drive and Homestead Road will affect the safety of students walking to and from school.

Doug McLean asked the coun-cil to seek more ways to improve bicycle and pedestrian access to the site, particularly for people coming by bike from Carrboro.

“In order to do this, we have to think big and have to think big at the beginning,” he said.

The council continued all three public hearings until June 15.

COUNTYfrom page 1

Under the budget proposal, the county plans no cost-of-liv-ing pay increases, a 12-month hiring freeze and suspension of 401K contributions for non-law enforcement personnel. Major service cuts in the bud-get include reductions in solid-waste services (see story page 7) and the closure of library branches in Carrboro and Ce-dar Grove. Under a library re-structuring plan, employees at those branches would move to the new main branch in Hill-sborough and the collections would be dispersed.

Quizzed by commission-ers about the restructuring, county library director Lu-cinda Munger said the actual savings are much larger than the numbers listed in the budget because if the braches were not closed the county would have to staff four new

positions at the new main li-brary.

The prospect of the closures did not sit well with Commis-sioner Mike Nelson, who said he could not support a budget that closed library branches. Nelson said most of the pro-posed service cuts elsewhere in the budget make sense. “This one doesn’t really fit the oth-ers,” he said of the library cuts. “I think we need to take a step back and look at other alterna-tives.”

Commissioner Steve Yuhasz said the board should keep an open mind on the cuts, not-ing that while the budget only shows a $37,000 savings, the cost of adding the new em-ployees rather than shifting them from the closed branches would be about $250,000.

Blackmon said she would be concerned about how the funding for the two branches would play out. The branches are already underfunded and have reduced hours, she said.

“If you want to do a branch library, you have to do it right,” Blackmon said.

Several Carrboro residents concerned about the branch library closures were in at-tendance at the meeting, in-cluding McDougle school li-brarians Carolyn White and Nancy Margolin. White said in addition to the closure, she was worried about what will happen to the collection, which has more than 18,000 items and is valued at around $445,000.

White said the proposal to disperse the collection, which has been added to with grants and gifts and ref lects the interests and needs of the local community, doesn’t make sense.

In response to the pro-posed closure, the Carrboro Board of Aldermen agreed to hold a special meeting Mon-day a 6 p.m. at Town Hall to discuss concerns about library services cuts.

The commissioners are scheduled to hold public hearings on the budget May 21 in Hillsborough and May 26 in Chapel Hill, followed by a work session with school officials on May 28.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Blackmon said she and her staff are working on a list to give to the commissioners of possible alternative cuts and savings in exchange for re-storing cuts in the proposed budget.

Commissioner Barry Ja-cobs noted that the county’s plan for a 12-month hiring freeze and no across-the-board pay increases was still a better deal than what school employees are getting, since the schools are likely to have to cut some positions.

Nelson asked to see a plan for furloughs for county workers that was drafted but not included in the budget.

Cutbacks planned for solid waste centersBY RiCH FOWleRStaff Writer

Orange County commis-sioners want to look at the dai-ly use at each of the county’s solid waste convenience centers before deciding which days or hours to cut.

At a budget work session Tues-day night commissioner Barry Jacobs said he was wary of shut-ting down the centers on Sunday, saying that even though they are only open for four hours they are heavily used on that day. He asked for a breakdown of daily use at the centers in time for the next budget discussion.

As part of $690,000 in pro-posed budget cuts, the Orange County Solid Waste Manage-ment Department has recom-mended reducing hours and days of operations for solid-waste convenience centers and the per-manent closing of the Bradshaw Quarry Road center.

In an interview Tuesday prior to the budget meeting Gayle Wil-son, solid waste department di-rector, said the Bradshaw Quarry Road site was chosen because it was a small site that was the least-used of the convenience centers. Closing the center could save the county approximately $120,000 in 2009-10 and around $141,000 a year afterwards.

“We’re not just arbitrarily rec-ommending service reductions,” Wilson said. “This is in response

to the board of commissioners’ direction to staff to seek out op-portunities, services and programs that may be underutilized to try to reduce our expenditures in next year’s budget, and try to reduce the demand on property taxes.”

Other proposed cost-saving changes include:

• Closing convenience cen-ters an hour early (sites would close at 6 p.m.);

• Closing solid-waste con-venience centers on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays;

• Eliminating free tipping permits at convenience centers

to county residents who bring in oversized loads; and

• Eliminating mattress drop off at solid waste convenience centers (citizens and businesses would be responsible for delivery of old mattresses to the landfill).

The Bradshaw Quarry Road center would close for good on Oct. 1, the same day that the changes to hours and days of op-eration would go into effect.

Not accepting mattresses at convenience centers will save the county around $33,000. Wilson said that mattresses were too light for the considerable space they

take up and were too costly to haul from convenience centers to the landfill.

Under the permit program, residents who brought oversized loads to convenience centers could get permits to cover tipping fees for up to three truckloads of waste at the county landfill. So instead of paying the usual tip-ping fee to the county for using the landfill, permit holders could dump three free truckloads at the landfill. Killing the permit pro-gram will save around $47,000.

To further keep expenditures down, the department won’t ex-pand the number its curbside re-cycling routes this coming year. It will only expand curbside recy-cling in to new homes on already-serviced streets or new streets in already-serviced areas, according to Rob Taylor, recycling programs manager for the county.

Right now, around 60 percent of the county’s unincorporated ar-eas get curbside recycling service.

Recycling in the municipal ar-eas of the county is handled by an outside contractor, so any service expansion will be unaffected by budget cuts.

Taylor said that a small amount of small-business recy-cling expansion could occur, to the extent that the department is able to handle it.

10 Thursday, may 14, 2009 Almanac The Carrboro CiTizen

FLORAfrom page 1

This past weekend i discovered a spectacular new trail. The 2.2 mile oc-coneechee mountain loop trail begins at the western edge of the official parking area and leisurely mean-ders around the western mid-slope of the mountain dominated by mature rock chestnut oaks, Quercus montana. i was so engaged in the various flowering patches of fetterbush, Lyo-nia mariana, and deerberry, Vaccinium stamineum, that i was downright startled when i looked up to see, in full flower, alone in the open forest, a specimen of tree-form mountain laurel. my objective of the walk was to view the mountain laurel that is usually in full flower on mother’s day. far out from the north-slope and mountain-top population of laurel, this fine specimen was a surprising sentinel of the spectacle to come.

i soon found myself dwarfed beneath a canopy of flowering laurel with, in places, a groundcover of galax, Galax aphylla, so characteristic of the mountains farther west.

The laurel seemed to be at peak, but many buds were still closed. a closer look at just-opened flowers will reveal 10 dark burgundy-red stamens imbedded in the petal surface. examin-ing older flowers, you will discover stamens in an inverted curved position, having sprung upward, when ripe, tossing pollen out onto unsuspecting insect pollinators.

i felt myself in the heart of the Carolina mountains. some many thousands of years ago, i would have

been correct. how for-tunate we are that a few “relict” plant communities still linger nearby on sites where just a few degrees of temperature differences and slope orientation allow a few characteris-tic mountain species to survive following the last southern glacial episode.

a s a photo de-tective, i love a picture contain-ing an enigma.

in 1945, my grandfather Charlie rush sat for this portrait painted by philadel-phia portrait artist arthur bye. i grew up idolizing my granddad, the head librarian at unC’s Wilson Library from 1941-55. after his death in 1957, i took solace in his portrait, which hung in my grandmother Lionne’s home until her death in 1991. i lost track of the portrait until 2001, when we moved back to Chapel hill and discov-ered it hanging in the head librarian’s office in Wilson! now, fast forward to last week, when my wife was surfing the smithsonian website and came across a cache of Lionne’s letters to my great aunt olive rush, a renowned santa fe painter. and there in a 1962 letter from Lionne, i was shocked to read, “yes, i am in the background by the books – i didn’t know i was to be in the picture!” That

where’sLionne?1945

revelation sent me dashing back to Wilson to search for my grandmother hiding in the background. but alas, no Lionne! at least, i don’t see a woman’s face or any books! Aha! When the canvas was mounted, the books (and Lionne) must have been cropped out by the frame. so the only way we’ll ever know for sure is to un-frame the portrait. and since the likelihood of that ever happening is highly unlikely, i’ll have to be content with imaging my grandmother Lionne lurking back there behind the frame.
