LittLe guy with a bear of an appetite

Patty Presnell of Carolina Drive was in for quite a surprise Wednesday afternoon. A small bear had wandered down Melrose Mountain to get a bite of her birdseed and take a look around her yard and deck. Presnell banged on her porch railing but the bear didn't leave. After a while, full of birdseed, the bear ambled off into the woods and back up the mountain. (photos submitted)

Columbus eyes cuts for 2011 Fab 4thCouncil plans other cuts; special meeting Wednesdayby Leah Justice

The Town of Columbus still has no adopted budget for next fiscal year and is working to cut some items, including expenses for the 2011 Fabulous Fourth celebration.

Council held a meeting last Thursday and discussed in length what could be cut from the proposed budget in an at-tempt to eliminate a proposed two-cent tax increase. There was no discussion last week of eliminating a proposed 20 percent water and sewer rate increase from the budget.

Columbus set a special meet-ing for this Wednesday at 6 p.m.

to finish discussing and to adopt the new budget, which begins July 1.

Council has struggled to find further ways to cut the budget, but did come to a consensus to look at cutting future expenses for the 4th of July celebration for next year. The upcoming Fabulous Fourth will run as

Heavy rains stall Polk adult day care openingby Leah Justice

Recent rains have put a real damper on Polk County’s adult day care center opening.

Construction has been near complete for a while, but pav-ing cannot be done due to wet weather.

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson says the wet dirt out-side the facility has made it impossible to pour the road. Contractors have been waiting on dry weather to pour a drive-way, cul-de-sac and parking lot for the facility.

The adult day care center was once scheduled to open around mid-May, but no definite open-ing date has yet been set due to the delay in construction.

Polk County has renovated the building behind the new Meeting Place that moved last year to the former Carolina Classical School off Skyuka Road near Columbus to house the adult day care center. The

Whitson said this week that contractors were ready to go

county purchased the over 20 acre property last year and de-cided to move the senior center there, in an attempt to get all county departments out of the aged Jervey Palmer building in Tryon. Once the new property was purchased, the community rallied to begin an adult day care center in Polk, and com-missioners decided to provide the building.

The county approved a lease last year to contract running the center out to Rutherford Life Services, which runs a similar facility in Rutherford County. The county will provide the building, but all services, em-ployment and liability will be handled by Rutherford Life Services.

The adult day care center will be named after Betsy and Don Freeman. Betsy Freeman was instrumental in getting an adult day care center in Polk County as Don was in need (Continued on page 6)

"Professional Work at the best prices guaranteed!"

usual as most expenses have already been paid out of the current year budget.

Councilman Richard Hall posed the idea of cutting ex-penses for the festival, saying that it used to be run by the community with much less money. He spoke of $31,650 in expenses being too much for a small town festival.

“Let’s find a new way to do it,” Hall said. “Let’s bring the churches back with the ice cream and get rid of the carni-val atmosphere.”

Hall suggested that the town could still run the festival, but cut out the entertainment and invite local muscicians to come and “pick” like the festival used to be.

“This is the hard times right now,” Hall said. “This is like the 1930s. The 1950s will come back later.”

Council directed assistant finance officer Kathy Gregory to make as many cuts from the 4th of July budget for the 2011 festival, as well as to make a 25 percent cut in the office sup-ply budget for administration, which is currently at $9,000. Gregory and town attorney Bailey Nager also plan to ne-gotiate with Zambelli, which contracts to do the Fabulous Fourth firework show, to try to get out of the next two years of the contract to eliminate future fireworks at the festival.

Gregory said she’d be glad to go through the budget and make what cuts she can for next year, but “let me tell you, this won’t last forever. We’re going to the well,” speaking of the possibility of having to use fund balance to cover the budget.

Gregory was directed to cut the office supply budget, the fourth of July expenses for

• 2011 Fab 4th(Continued from page 1)

next year as well as Christmas display expenses and work on getting out of the firework contract for future years. Next month’s festival, to be held July 3, will have entertainment and fireworks.

Columbus’ current pro-posed budget is for a total of $1.063,597 at a 41 cent tax rate. The town’s current tax rate is at 39 cents per $100 of valuation. Council also dis-cussed last week how almost one cent of the tax increase is for the fire department, which the county approved. The county agreed to redistrict the fire service areas with Colum-bus’ fire department projected to receive over $31,000 less in revenue next year, so the county agreed to a 7/10 of a cent tax increase to make up the difference.

It is not clear if Columbus will increase its tax rate by one cent, two cents or remain at 39 cents and absorb the fire department’s tax increase. Council agreed to decide the final details on Wednesday.

The water and sewer in-creases will likely stand as council and staff have said that the town received a letter from the N.C. Local Gover-ment Commission last year and expect a worse letter this year for dipping into fund blance to cover expenses in the enterprise fund. The town is looking at taking approximately $70,000 out of its enterprise fund bal-ance to cover the current year overages for water and sewer.

The town has not definitely decided yet if that 20 percent increase will be across the board or accomplished by charging higher rates to com-mercial than residential. One proposal on the table is to in-crease commercial rates by 25 percent and residential rates by five percent.

due to it being so wet under-neath. A covered drop off point for clients is also awaiting con-struction. All inside renovations have been complete, including renovating bathrooms and add-ing a shower inside as well as adding a sprinkler system.

Whitson estimated that once

the outside work can begin, it should take about three months to complete. Whitson said he plans to speak with contractors soon to see if something can be done to get the dirt dry and started as soon as possible.

County officials have ex-pressed their eagerness to get the center open due to what they say is a great need in the county.

By John Clayton

The Polk County Board of Education approved a $312,000 capital outlay budget for 2010-11 last week, but only $162,000 was allocated for capital improve-ments. The remaining $150,000 was diverted from capital proj-ects to offset budget cuts from the state and federal levels.

“This is one of the things we could do to keep from laying people off and to keep from cut-ting our programs for children,” said Polk County Schools Super-intendent William Miller.

Miller said he does not know how much state and federal fund-ing the school system will receive for the 2010-11 fiscal year.

Of the $162,000 that remains in the capital outlay budget, $60,000 will go into a general fund for any needed work or renovations on all Polk County schools.

Polk BOE to use capital outlay funds to offset budget cuts

The district will apply for lottery funds from the state’s education lottery to cover the largest expenditure in the capital budget, $91,000 for a new roof at Polk Central Elementary School, Miller said.

Other expenses will include $40,000 for a new awning at Polk Central, $25,000 for student furniture at all schools, $6,000 for athletic equipment and $6,000 for band equipment.

Another $25,000 has been earmarked to create digital class-rooms for fourth- and fifth-graders at Tryon Elementary School.

In other business, the board approved the bid of Mid-South Timber and logger Jack Mills to clear timber for a nature trail at Polk Central. The winning bidder will pay the school system for the timber that is cleared.

Runoff TuesdayBy John Clayton

Both remaining Republican candidates for S.C. House Dis-trict 38 received a bit of extra support heading into Tuesday’s run-off election.

Incumbent Joey Millwood received aid - if not an endorse-ment -- from GOP gubernato-rial front-runner Nikki Haley, who was to campaign with Millwood this past Saturday. Lake Bowen businessman John Moore, the odd-man-out in the recent Republican primary, en-dorsed former opponent Doug Brannon of Landrum.

Haley has not made any of-ficial endorsements, but called Millwood “a great friend.”

“Joey Millwood has been a great friend, both to me and to the taxpayers of South Carolina since his first day in Columbia,” said Haley through a released statement. “He is a true re-former who will never back down from his conservative principles.”

Brannon, who sought out Moore’s endorsement soon after the June 8 primary votes were counted, received 36 per-cent of the vote in the primary, just one percentage point be-hind Millwood’s 37 percent.

“I’m very pleased, hon-ored and humbled by John’s endorsement,” Brannon said. “The one thing I’ve repeatedly said is that I came out of this campaign with a new friend, and that’s John Moore… He’s a fine young man.”

Brannon said he and Moore were more closely aligned on most key issues than him-self and Millwood have been. Moore carried his home Lake Bowen precinct, and Moore is hoping those same voters will support him in the run-off.

Haley and Millwood were to campaign together Saturday

evening at Nodine’s Restaurant on Highway 176 near Campo-bello. Brannon said he doesn’t think Haley and Millwood ap-pearing together on a campaign stop will affect the outcome of the election.

“I did well in Landrum, Campobello and Gramling, but so did Ms. Haley,” Brannon said. The people were able to vote for me in those precincts and vote for her. I don’t think the fact that she’s winking and nodding at Joey Millwood is going to change those voters minds.”

Polls for the run-off elec-tion will be open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. Local polls include Landrum United Method-ist Church, Gramling United Methodist, Motlow Creek Baptist and Landrum High School. Only voters who voted in the Republican primary or registered voters who did not vote in either June 8 primary election are eligible to vote in the run-off election.

While there are no Demo-cratic contests in this run-off election, five statewide GOP elections, including governor and lieutenant governor, in ad-dition to the District 38 seat will be decided.

In the gubernatorial run-off, Nikki Haley faces U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett; for Lt. Governor, Ken Ard faces Bill Connor.

Incumbent Bob Inglis faces a challenge from solicitor Trey Gowdy for U.S. House District 4.

Leighton Lord and Alan Wilson are vying to run for the office of state’s attorney general, and Elizabeth Moffly and Mick Zais are in the GOP run-off for state superintendent of education.

Winners of the run-off elec-tion will move on to the state-wide general election on No-vember 2.

Please… Don't leave Us in The Car!

When it's only 80 degrees outside, a car can heat up to over 120 degrees in just minutes. In a temperature that

high, a dog could easily die. That's why the American Kennel Club recommends that dog owners NEVER leave their dog alone in a car during the warm weather.

For additional tips on canine summer care, write the aKC, 5580 Centerview Drive, Raleigh, NC 27606 and request a free copy of aKC Canine summer safety Guidelines.

Laurel Lake Music Society donates $1,700 to local schools

The Laurel Lake Music Soci-ety, Inc. donated $1,700 to sup-port the music education teachers and programs in primary and middle schools in Polk County and in the Landrum Area School District this year.

Modest grants were made to six schools in the area. The Saluda Elementary School, Polk Central Elementary School, Polk County Middle School, Tryon Elementary School, O.P. Earle Elementary School in Landrum and Landrum Middle School received this money.

The grants were used for sup-plies, equipment and simple in-struments that are needed for the programs but could not be paid for from the regular public school budgets. The size of each grant was related to the number of students and the needs of the school.

This activity is in addition to the scholarship awards to high school music students in the lo-cal area to attend the three week Cannon Summer Music Camp on the campus of Appalachian State University. This year a total of ten music students received these awards at a total cost of $13,700. The Laurel Lake Music Society says they are pleased to be able to continue their support for these music activities in the community.

The Laurel Lake Music So-ciety, Inc. is a non-profit chari-table organization and is an IRS qualified 501(c) 3 corporation. The society is entirely funded by donations from the residents of Tryon Estates, an ACTS Retirement Life Community in Columbus.


Letter to the Editor

WLOS where are you?To the Editor:

We live on the South side of Melrose Mountain facing South Carolina. Ever since we have lived in Polk County, WLOS has been our source for area news. About two weeks ago the digital signal for WLOS disappeared. When it

didn’t return we switched to the local analog signal for Tryon on channel 5. Now that signal has disappeared. I have sent several e-mails to WLOS and my wife has also inquired. We have not had a single response. This does not strike me as being very viewer oriented. I think we are owed a re-sponse from WLOS to let us know if we will ever be able to receive their programming again.

On Wednesday, June 23, a panel of local trainers, competi-tors and judges will discuss the ins-and-outs of horse showing in dressage and eventing. The meet-ing takes place at the FENCE main house.

To braid or not to braid? What happens if I go off course? Does my horse have to be a certain size? Whatever shall I wear! From the official rules of each discipline, to show etiquette, prep and equipment, bring your ques-tions and curiosity. No question is too basic or too complex.

The discussion will be helpful to beginner and more experienced competitors, riders who are think-ing about showing, non-horsey parents of young riders, trainers and their students, spectators who would like to learn more, horse show volunteers and potential volunteers, and anyone who is curious about what goes on at a horse show.

FRC Education Chairperson Justine Tibbles has put together a group of panelists, including Annie Lane-Maunder, Jodi Jones Lees, Andre Pool and Sheila

Grymes. FRC show secretary Margo Savage, will be on hand to discuss specifics of FRC school-ing show rules and regulations.

Join Foothills Riding Club on Wednesday, June 23, at 6:30 p.m. for salad, refreshments and a create-your-own ice cream sundae buffet. Panel discussion starts at 7 p.m.

For more information about the club and a membership ap-plication, visit the FRC website: www.foothillsridingclub.org/frchome.html.

article 4: Accounting basics and definitionsAs the nonprofit Leadership col-

umn continues the series on Manage-ment and Fiscal Accountability for Nonprofits, this article will focus on accounting basics and definitions.

The nonprofit financial system is divided into two categories: ac-tivities & polices and people and institutions. Activities and policies within nonprofits include the follow-ing terms; internal controls, external controls, insurance, contracts, grants, fundraising, personnel policies, risk management, reporting, and compli-ance. People and institutions within nonprofits include the following terms; board of directors, treasurer, fi-nance committee, director of finance, executive director, bookkeeper, pro-gram directors, auditor, IRS, attorney general, donors and funders.

Common terms and definitions for nonprofit accounting include the following;

Gaap – Generally Accepted Ac-counting Principles. This is the most common set of accounting principles, standards and procedures that com-panies use to compile their financial statements. GAAP is a combination of authoritative standards (set by policy boards) and simply the com-monly accepted way of recording and

reporting accounting information.sFas 117 – Statement of Finan-

cial Accounting Standards. This is a piece of GAAP, among other things it requires nonprofits to report expenses by functional classification – cost centered accounting.

assets and liabilities. Assets are the things the nonprofit owns (i.e. cash, furniture, vehicles, etc.). Liabilities are the bills the nonprofit owes or needs to pay (i.e. credit card charges, leases, lines of credit, any-thing outstanding).

revenue and expenses. Rev-enue or Income is what the non-profit earns (i.e. grants, contracts, donations, sales or rental income). Expenses are the costs that the non-profit incurs in the course of doing their work (i.e. payroll, rent, office expenses, etc.).

net assets. This is simply what is left after you take away what you owe (liabilities) form what you have (assets).

direct cost. Direct cost is a cost within a nonprofit that is connected to a specific activity, program or event.

indirect cost. These are costs with in a nonprofit that are not related to a specific program, activ-

ity or event. These often include general, administrative costs, and record keeping.

directly allocable costs. These are costs within a nonprofit that are shared between several activi-ties, programs or events. Otherwise known as joint or shared costs. These include such things as rent, insurance, utilities and telephone.

Cost pool: This is a place set up to record allocable costs.

Generally with in a nonprofit you will see that expenses are divided into three basic categories; management and general/governance, fundraising and program. Management expenses will include administration, board, le-gal, accounting, and D&O (Directors and Officers) insurance. Fundraising will include all expenses incurred while trying to solicit funds. Program expenses will include all expenses for the programs used to carry out the mission of the nonprofit. The next several articles will continue to focus on finances and accounting.
