Safelight honors Blackford, announces new director

Some people dabbed at tears when Safelight President Pat Ashe presented the agency’s leader, Tanya Blackford, with a painting of a dandelion, representing one of her many achievements as director of the domestic violence shelter for women and children over the past 15 years. Last week at a reception at the Hendersonville Country Club, Safelight staff members, supporters and nonprofit leaders gathered to say farewell to Blackford, who leaves the agency to become area director for Crossnore School & Children’s Home. Safelight development director Laresa Griffin ticked off a series of achievements Safelight has made under Blackford’s leadership, including the Dandelion Eatery, a restaurant that trains women from the shelter, the merger with the Healing Place, a partnership to form the Family Justice Center and renovating an apartment building for women and their children.“Most people don’t have the opportunity to have a service while they’re still alive,” Blackford joked. “I showed up at 29 and I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. The work that we’ve been able to do and the lives that we’ve tried to touch and fix and work with have been amazing. It has brought back an entire amount of faith in work that if you just try great things can happen. They might not happen exactly as you thought, but they will, and good things will happen.“I love Safelight and I love the work that we have gotten to do and I hope that that work continues and I know that it will,” she added. “It’s not about the individual, it’s about the group.” On Wednesday, Safelight’s Board of Directors announced the selection of John Lauterbach as the new executive director of the organization. Lauterbach joins the organization with a career that has been dedicated to developing and providing programs and services for abused and neglected children and their families. Most recently, he was the executive director of CARING for Children in Asheville. He has a master’s degree in business administration and a bachelor’s degree in psychology. He and his wife, Carrie, have two adult children and one granddaughter.“Our organization is very fortunate to have such a seasoned administrator join our excellent Safelight team," Ashe said. "John will definitely assist us in continuing to achieve our mission, ‘creating hope, healing lives, changing community.’”Lauterbach will join Safelight Feb. 12.     Read Story »

City OKs 67-home subdivision on Howard Gap

The Hendersonville City Council approved a rezoning on Tuesday that will allow a developer to build 67 homes on Howard Gap Road east of Nix Road.The 3-2 council vote came over the objections of neighbors who said the development would create traffic problems and make flooding worse on Clear Creek, which runs south of the development through what is now a farm field.The property owner, Mountain Bean Growers Inc., asked for the rezoning and annexation into the city so it can provide sewer for the project, called the Cottages at Cypress Run.Mike Anderson, the engineer for the developer, told the council that the builder would have to prove to the Federal Emergency Management Agency that the subdivision would not cause worse flood conditions that exist today.“We are not allowed to have any negative impact through the local regulation and through our permit process with FEMA,” Anderson said. Council member Jerry Smith wasn’t buying it.“I just can’t help but agree, regardless of what FEMA says, it just looks like this development goes too far into the floodplain and it’s going to push water somewhere else,” he said. “Unlike Publix, which used existing square footage, we are now adding square footage.”Councilman Jeff Miller said if the city would not accept FEMA’s regulations, it would have trouble approving many developments.“If we’re not going to accept FEMA’s standards, where do we go with that? If we are now saying that we’re not going to accept what FEMA says in certain areas, what do we do, where do we go?” he said. “I can’t as a member of the elected council just blow off FEMA. I have a hard time with that.”Yet Miller joined Smith in voting no on the rezoning application.Mayor Barbara Volk and mayor pro tem Ron Stephens said as much as they’d like to preserve farmland, affordable housing close to the city was also a priority. The developer plans to build craftsman-style cottages of 1,400 to 1,800 square feet that would sell "in the $275,000 range." “There’s a huge demand for that,” Stephens said. “While we want to protect farmland, there’s an amazing amount of demand for housing in this place. We’ve got to balance those interests, too.”Volk pointed out that the property, now in the county’s jurisdiction, is currently zoned residential, not agricultural.“I think I would have more problems with it if it was not already zoned residential,” she said. “It’s also fairly close to the city and I’d rather see it there than even further away so people would have to commute. No matter what happens there’s going to be more traffic on roads.”The developer has one more stop before stop before the requests are approved. Because the council voted 3-2 for the annexation, the council must vote a second time on that application. A second reading would require only a 3-2 vote to make the approval final.   Read Story »

Roundabout foes shift focus to Hendersonville council

LAUREL PARK — Residents and businesses who oppose a two-lane divided highway with roundabouts through Laurel Park are furious that a revised plan adds a fourth roundabout. Adding a roundabout at Daniels Drive, the new plan also keeps the two-lane design with a grass median, bike lanes and sidewalks with a green buffer between the roadway and the sidewalk.“For Laurel Park businesses, residents and individuals residing in the area, the regional growth and its associated challenges has arrived,” the Town Council said in a newsletter that hit residents’ mailboxes this week. “This has become most evident along the Brevard Road corridor and the difficulties associated with the current traffic patterns, flow and volumes. Roundabouts are a significant change for the road, but we believe they, as part of this comprehensive road design, are a positive feature for the Town, both now and for decades to come.”Not so fast, roundabout opponents say.In an email under the subject line “Who says it’s over?!?!” residents rallied like-minded neighbors and business owners to attend Tuesday night’s meeting of the Hendersonville City Council to speak against the revised plan.The Hendersonville City Council should get involved because 35-40 percent of the U.S. 64 project is in the city’s zoning jurisdiction, the opponents say. “It’s high time that Hendersonville demonstrate actual involvement in this project,” the email blast said. A website petition from the group, Fix 64 West, had 335 signatures as of Tuesday afternoon.In its newsletter, Laurel Park Town Council reviewed the history of the U.S. 64 project. More than a decade ago the town asked regional transportation planners to add U.S. 64 improvements to the state Transportation Improvement Plan. The project reached the planning stage in February 2015 and proposed designs have been reviewed in November 2016, January 2017 and September 2017. After on the last design, the Town Council requested the additional roundabout. The council said roundabouts are safer and more efficient than conventional signalized intersections. The Laurel Park police department plans to offer courses on the use of roundabouts.While making U-turn at a roundabout may add 60 to 170 seconds of travel time, waiting to make a left turn across traffic can be a similar or longer wait, the town said. “The roundabout option is much safer,” the town said. “A small inconvenience to keep one from a serious injury or loss of life accident.” Roundabouts will slow traffic, make the town commercial center more attractive and make businesses more viable over time, the town said. “Yes, we fully understand that some businesses will be affected more than others, but this road design will also better define this district to those transiting Laurel Park,” it said. “It will not be the high-speed thoroughfare of today.”The newsletter contains five pages of roundabout facts, pictures and drawings.       Read Story »

Newman announces candidacy for second term

District Attorney Greg Newman announced that he will seek re-election for a second term this year.  He will file the necessary paperwork with the NC State Board of Elections when the filing period opens next week on Feb. 12.  He currently serves as the chief criminal prosecutor for Henderson, Polk and Transylvania counties.  A native of Henderson County, Newman was appointed by N.C.  Governor Pat McCrory in 2013 to succeed Jeff Hunt, who became a Superior Court Judge.  Mr. Newman was then elected in 2014 to a full term as District Attorney. The DA graduated with a degree in Political Science from UNC Asheville and then graduated from the University of Dayton School of Law in Dayton, Ohio.  He began his legal career as an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in Ashland, Ohio and then worked with the District Attorney General’s Office in the Second Judicial District of Tennessee.  Upon his return home to North Carolina in 2000, he worked in the law office of Ron Blanchard and handled a variety of civil and criminal cases in both state and federal courts.  In addition to his law practice, Newman was elected  Mayor of Hendersonville in 2005 and served a full 4 year term that ended in 2009.  He was a candidate for Congress in the 2010 Republican primary and finished third in a  field of 7 candidates.  He has been active with the Republican Party since 1984. The District Attorney and his wife of 33 years, Kim, have 3 children.  His two adult children are graduates of Clemson University and his youngest son is a junior at Hendersonville High School.  Newman is an active member at First Baptist Church where he serves as a teacher, usher, deacon and trustee. “I have a great staff and a talented team of lawyers.  I am very pleased with the performance and production of our office and I hope the voters in all 3 counties feel the same way,” said the DA.  “ We have strong support among all of our police and sheriff’s departments, our emergency responders, the business community,  our local pastors and many others.  The results in all our courts have been very gratifying, to say the least.  Some of our cases have received national attention.  We are experiencing the most productive period in our local court system in terms of cases resolved with strong jury verdicts, guilty pleas, and substantial sentences.  I credit my staff and lawyers for these results, as well as all the people in our community serving on these juries for supporting what we do.  It is indeed gratifying to live in an area where the rule of law is still respected,” added Mr. Newman. Mr. Newman then stated,  “I am told that I will have opposition in the Republican primary this year, so in addition to my regular duties, I will be spending time raising funds and campaigning for office.  I believe most people are aware of the serious cases awaiting prosecution in the district.  We have at least one death penalty trial and will likely have a second one in Polk County.   So I naturally take the position that now is not the time to change leadership and direction of the DA’s office.  Things are going well in our office and I would like to continue in my current position.  It is an honor to serve the people in the community that has meant so much to me personally.” Registration to vote in this year’s Republican primary election will end April 13, 2018.  Early, one-stop, voting begins on April 26 and runs through May 5th.  The primary is Tuesday, May 8, 2018. Mr. Newman can be contacted at P. O. Box 22, Hendersonville, NC 28793.   Read Story »

LIGHTNING EDITORIAL: Give roundabouts a chance

The prospect of roundabouts in Hendersonville seems to have flummoxed the motoring public and alarmed property owners. Roundabouts raise two different challenges. There’s no denying the fact that a roundabout takes up more room and thus would require the state to condemn more property to build them. We’re only at the mid stages as the NCDOT, local elected leaders and the public react, discuss and massage the plans. If nothing changed — an unlikely outcome — we would in the years ahead have three roundabouts on U.S. 64 — at Glasgow Lane, Pisgah Drive and White Pine Drive — one at White Street and Kanuga Road and a big one where South Church, South King and South Main streets meet.Right of way acquisition and utility line relocation is already under way for the first one we’ll drive around — on Greenville Highway at (realigned) Shepherd Street and Erkwood Drive. It can’t come too soon.“The whole thing with new traffic implementation, like when we do roundabouts, you’ve got to train people to drive safely through roundabouts,” said Hendersonville City Councilman Steve Caraker. “They’re not used to it. There’s a learning curve with anything you do. The people that navigate roundabouts well are the people that live near them and have to use them all the time.”So, the second challenge is whether the driving public will accept these changes, which are new to us but routine for millions of others. No, they’re not all in France. There are at least 10,300 roundabouts in the U.S. Florida has the most, followed by California and Texas.As we’ve said in these columns before, the NCDOT has proposed several efficient and well-designed road improvements for our area. Under these plans, it’s true, a ride through Laurel Park would be on a divided highway. U.S. 64 would have roundabouts to allow for safe, low-speed U-turns. A roundabout at Kanuga and White, it’s true, would be impossible without taking some business property or entire businesses. Those are not by themselves reasons to kill the improvements. The talk at public meetings seems to be based more on emotion and fear than on facts about the safety and efficiency, where roundabouts have a very good record.Are roundabouts safer for motorists, pedestrians and bicycle riders than conventional signalized intersections? Yes, and don’t take our word for it.According to the Federal Highway Administration, roundabouts typically achieve a 37 percent reduction in overall collisions, a 75 percent reduction in collisions resulting in injury, a 90 percent reduction in fatalities and a 40 percent reduction in pedestrian collisions. Why? Because one-way travel eliminates the possibility of T-bone and head-on collisions. One-way travel eliminates “intersection ambiguity” factors such as right on red and beating the light. Roundabouts naturally slow intersection traffic to 15-20 mph.Pedestrians are safer, too. So-called splitter islands (see rendering) provide a space between opposing lanes at each pedestrian crossing, and each crosswalk is set back at least one full car length from the roadway yield sign. During public hearings, the caterwauling crowd tells us that roundabouts will maim and kill elderly drivers. That’s false. Conventional intersections maim and kill much more efficiently. Older drivers are twice as likely crashes as younger drivers to be killed in intersection crashes. The FHA analysis of roundabouts cites a report that roundabouts generate economic benefits for nearby businesses. A road improvement project that included four roundabouts, landscaping, medians and sidewalks along a commercial stretch of highway in Golden, Colorado, lowered the crash rate from 5.9 crashes per million vehicle miles to .2 crashes MVM, resulted in slower speeds and faster travel time through the corridor and increased sales tax revenue by 60 percent along the roadway.“Well-designed roundabouts,” the engineers concluded, “are good for communities and businesses.”We know roundabouts and medians are still a tough sell, for business owners who may lose all or part of their real estate, for residents who would be blocked from left turns out of neighborhoods, and for the vocal No Change! caucus. But for the good of all, we ought to give the new roundabout designs a chance. As we are seeing on Kanuga Road and Highland Lake Road, if we allow only those who shout the loudest and plant the most yard signs to win the argument, we’ll be stuck in traffic a long time.         Read Story »
