Polk commissioners debate paying off senior center loanby Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners dis-agree on whether the county should pay off the loan for the senior center land early.

The board met Feb. 6 and tabled a decision to pay off the loan after some

Commissioner Ted Owens said he

respectfully asks the county to table paying off the loan until the board hears estimates from county engineer Dave Odom regarding connecting water lines.

“I would like for us to con-sider using [fund balance] money to lay the line to Polk Central,” Owens said. “As I see it, we can’t borrow money to lay a water line and we have a low interest loan to pay [for] the senior center.”

Commissioner Cindy Walker said the con-versation came about when the county was set-ting goals.

“I was ex-cited we could save $316,000 [ b y p a y i n g off the loan],” Walker said. “ To m e w e were saying we can’t make any money in the stock market so we need to pay off loans. I would be willing to table it but want to still look at it again. Maybe we can figure out how to do a little bit of all of it.”

The cost to pay off the loan this year would be $1,376,043, including a $13,600 prepayment fee. The total savings to the county if the loan is paid off this year would be $316,307 over the length of the loan. The loan’s scheduled payoff date is 2024, when the county would have paid another $1,692,350.

If fund balance money is used to pay off the loan, the county

would be left with $4,678,353 in its available fund balance, or 20.4 percent of general fund expen-ditures. Those numbers include the purchase of an ambulance and the county’s recent decision to use fund balance to pay for a water line that will connect its middle school well system to the Town of Columbus’ water line at Polk County High School for approximately $592,000.

Owens said if the county con-nects water from the lower end of the county to Columbus, water would be connected regionally

to Charlotte.“We’ll al-

ready have our regional sup-ply,” Owens said.

He added tha t the r e -gional supply will help when droughts come and if the coun-ty can afford to do it, it will cost less now than in the future.

Commission chair Ray Gas-

person said five years ago the county had $23 million in debt and if the loan is paid off the county will be down to $11.5 million.

“It was through the loan pay-off that we were able to fund an additional $400,000 to the schools (this fiscal year),” said Gasperson. “This could help move us forward with paying for the 2.5 percent (employee) raise. This would make it a sustainable part of the budget.”

Commissioner Tom Pack said it just depends on how you look at it. He said the county has spent a lot of money paying off debt and that money could have been shared with employees who haven’t had a raise in four years or could have been shared with taxpayers.

Polk’s debt has been reduced over the years through early loan payoffs. The most recent was paying a little over $2 million to complete payments on an original $4 million loan that funded the construction of the middle school, recreation complex and transfer station. Paying off that loan saved the county more than $362,000.

Commissioner Renée McDer-mott said commissioners started out five years ago with $23 mil-lion in debt and have freed up money in debt service since and were able to help the schools by doing so.

“Even if we pay off the loan we will still have $11 million remaining in debt,” McDermott said. “I don’t think when you have $11 million in debt it’s the time to

give a tax break.”Especially, she said, when

there are threats of the county receiving less in state revenues.

Pack disagreed, saying that the county’s fund balance grows every year.

“This year you’re looking at spending $1.3 million,” Pack said. “It sounds like we’re in good financial shape.”

Commissioners agreed to discuss the loan payoff further during the county’s first March meeting, set for March 5 at 7 p.m. at the Womack Building in Columbus.

Serving all of

Polk County!

If you have driven down Melrose Avenue in Tryon during a recent weekday you may have noticed craftsmen on ladders and scaffolds working on the stained glass windows of Holy Cross Episcopal Church and Ben Davis pacing up and down along the sidewalk doing the job of a properties chairman – worrying.

When the stone part of Holy Cross was constructed in 1954, a full array of win-dows was installed by Willett Stained Glass Studios from Philadelphia, Penn. These windows represent a rare collection of uniquely unified works of stained glass and are absolutely beautiful treasures of ecclesiastical art that de-serve careful maintenance.

Sometime back in the 1960s the preferred method for protecting stained glass church windows was to cover them with a product known as Lexan, a brand and type of polycarbonate resin. For its era it was a good product and did the work of shielding the windows from accidental breakage. However, over time the clear Lexan became semitransparent, then cloudy, and finally quite opalescent. The Lexan continued to do its work, but it was so old and damaged itself that it obscured the true beauty of that which it was created to protect.

The Emmanuel Studio was contracted to evaluate

the windows and propose a solution. As I sit here writ-ing this I can see through my office window one of the craftsmen diligently going through the difficult process of removing the old Lexan, scraping, cleaning, priming and painting the framing, cleaning the glass and then finally installing the new crys-tal clear safety glass covering. It is a huge, complex, and dif-ficult task, but so well worth it. Now the light coming through those windows has an entirely new quality of bril-liance and clarity. Speckles of color dance across the pews and details long obscured or unseen within the windows explode with new light. It is dazzling!

Point of renewal • Renewal(continued from page 8)


So what is my point in telling you this?

Sometimes our lives are like those stained glass win-dows – not just our personal lives but the lives of our re-ligious and civil institutions. They are of great beauty and have an intrinsic value that needs to be preserved and protected, but the methods we use to do that can become old and dated to the point that they actually prevent the world from seeing the best we have to offer.

It is often far too easy to assume that the fences of tradition and orthodoxy we have built to ensure our se-curity will work forever. But sometimes our old traditions, practices and methodologies have to give way to new prac-tices and ways of thinking that allow the true vibrancy of

our natures to shine through. Otherwise, we remain dim reminders of a once glorious time now gone by.

But getting to that point of renewal is tough work. The old and ineffective has to be torn away and discarded, that open place has to be carefully prepared and then new ways of being must be lovingly applied and employed. Then and only then, when useless habits and counterproductive practices are no longer in place, can the genuine bril-liance of the individual or institutional soul emerge to be seen and loved by everyone.

Come see our transformed windows and I think you will understand.

Family seeks help from community

Desmond Ahmad Mullins, who graduated from Landrum High School in 2006, has been accepted to study at the Uni-versity of Oxford in the U.K. this summer. To help cover the costs of this study, Mullins and his family would welcome help from the community.

With help from a Rotary Club scholarship, Mullins attended Clemson University, where he majored in financial management

with a minor in accounting. He earned membership into Alpha Lambda Delta honors fraternity and was a member of the Clem-son University Finance Club.

While he was in college, Mul-lins spent the summers of 2007 and 2008 working as a camp counselor for the 21st Century Builder’s Club in Polk County.

After graduating cum laude in May 2010 from Clemson, Mullins accepted a position with The Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth Pro-gram. He was then accepted

into the Florida Coastal School of Law. After two semesters, he transferred to the Florida State University College of Law, where he is currently studying. He has been on the dean’s list and expects to graduate in May 2013.

If you are interested in help-ing cover the costs of Mullins’ study at Oxford this summer, contact Frankie Cannon at 864-457-3335 or email Vivian Mul-lins at [email protected].

Gingerthistle will perform at a free FENCE Family Con-cert on Feb. 19 at 4 p.m. at the FENCE Center.

Gingerthistle, consisting of husband and wife team Ben Seymour and Becky Cleland, draws its repertoire from the rich well of traditional Celtic and Appalachian folk music. Employing a capella and instru-mental approaches (primarily Appalachian mountain dulci-mer, bones and acoustic guitar) Seymour and Cleland trace the musical threads of traditional folk music from the Blue Ridge mountains back to their Celtic roots. The two have been per-forming since 1980 and have produced four recordings.

Seymour was born in Albe-marle, N.C. and lived in several Southeastern states during his childhood. Although Seymour’s parents never seemed to have any particular musical gifts, his three older siblings were strong-ly musical and exposed him to a wide variety of music over the years. One of those is Wayne Seymour, na-tionally known folk musician and dulcimer player. Today, Seymour per-forms and enjoys listening to Appalachian, traditional Celtic and other forms of folk music. Seymour also builds lap dulci-mers and other instruments at home, teaches the playing of the lap dulcimer and engineers and

produces sound recordings for Gingerthistle and local artists.

Becky Cleland first learned to harmonize when her par-ents sang favor-ite tunes to pass the time on long trips with the family.

During her Knoxville high school years, she was often found playing contemporary folk music on her guitar before and after school. Through her college years, Cleland gained experience and developed an appreciation

FENCE Family Concert Feb. 19 features Gingerthistle

for diverse forms of music by studying voice at the University of Tennessee and by singing in college and church choirs. She said she loves all forms of folk music and is especially inspired by medieval and Renaissance music, particularly Christmas music of those periods. Cleland comments, “I find hanging a harmony onto a tune a most joyful pursuit.”

This concert series is made possible by The Kirby Founda-tion at the Polk County Com-munity Foundation.
