Fire destroys downtown Burnsville home
Jonathan Austin/Yancey County News
Images from the Burnsville house fire last Tuesday as firefighters arrive on scene and work to subdue the flames, which shot 30 feet into the air.
A family pet was lost in a house fire in downtown Burnsville last Tuesday afternoon. The Burnsville Fire Department was dispatched to a house fire on East Main Street at about 5 p.m., and firefighters found a residence engulfed in flames. Firefighters put water on the blaze from both the front and back of the house, but flames leapt 30 feet into the air.
Firefighters from fire stations in Newdale and Pensacola were dispatched to assist, and others from West Yancey also turned out to help fight the blaze at the home of Bryan Butner, located across the street from Bubba’s Restaurant. At one point flames spread into an adjacent garden and staff at a nearby group home were
concerned that they might need to evacuate. Firefighters brought the blaze under control in about 30 minutes but the home was destroyed. Officials said an electrical issue sparked the fire. No one was injured, but firefighters recovered the body of a pet dog that had been inside the house.
Man faces sexual exploitation of a child charges A Yancey County man is in jail in McDowell County on felony charges of sexual exploitation of minors. Sean Masten, 33, of 170 Trout Lily Road, was arrested last week on warrants sought by B.J. Shuford of the Yancey County Sheriff’s Office. According to the warrants, Masten is accused of receiving and possessing videos representing
682-9510
female children engaged in sexual activity with adult males. One was “a video representation of a minor unknown female child, Masten approximately 3-5 years old, engaged in sexual activity.”
Officials said the arrest resulted from a joint investigation by the McDowell County Sheriff’s Office and the Yancey County Sheriff’s Office. Officers from both departments served a search warrant at Masten’s Yancey County home to recover evidence related to a crime committed in McDowell County. Officers seized computer related media which
contained hundreds of files of child pornography. Masten was charged with one count of first degree sex offense on a child under 13 years old, two counts of second degree sexual exploitation of a minor, and two counts of third degree sexual exploitation of a minor. Masten is being held under a secured bond of $275,000.

Nonprofit news service earns $50,000 grant
The Carolina Public Press news service has been awarded a $50,000 grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation to expand its investigative and state government reporting as well as increase efforts to develop a sustainable model of nonprofit public interest journalism in Western North Carolina. Carolina Public Press, found at www. carolinapublicpress.org, is a nonprofit online news service providing Western North Carolina with unbiased, in-depth and investigative reporting as well as educational opportunities to journalists, students and others. It believes that public interest reporting is critical to an informed, engaged electorate and to ensuring government accountability. Carolina Public Press is currently the only news organization in the 18 westernmost counties of the state with reporters in Raleigh covering the N.C. General Assembly and its associated lawmakers and policy efforts. The grant was one of 19 Ethics and Excellence in Journalism awarded to journalism
organizations across the country. Based in Oklahoma City, Okla., the foundation’s mission is to invest in the future of journalism by building the ethics, skills and opportunities needed to advance principled, probing news and information. Launched three years ago this month, Carolina Public Press shares its journalism with news organizations across North Carolina. Based in Asheville, Carolina Public Press’s reporting serves the nearly 1 million people living in Avery, Buncombe, Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, Madison, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Swain, Transylvania, Watauga and Yancey counties. It was awarded a 2012 national New Media Women Entrepreneurship award, and it has also earned the recognition of PBS MediaShift and J-Lab and additional funding from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation and The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina. Hundreds of individual contributors have also supported its hard-hitting watchdog
journalism and high-quality training programs with tax-deductible contributions. “We are honored that the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation has recognized our hard work to improve the quality and quantity of watchdog, investigative reporting in Western North Carolina,” said Angie Newsome, the executive director of Carolina Public Press. “We are very excited that our group of journalists can now invest even more in reporting about the overlooked and under-reported issues facing our region — topics that often have impact and influence felt across the state.” “EEJF is excited to form new partnerships with start-up investigative news organizations, as well as continue our long standing relationships with established groups” said Bob Ross, president and CEO of Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation. “We hope our portfolio of grantees will strive to find innovative best practices for high-impact journalism.”
Another unneeded tax cut for corporations By Julia Hawes NC Policy Watch A proposed change in the way North Carolina taxes multistate corporations would fail to achieve its goal of boosting investment and job creation, and instead result in revenue loss that would threaten critical investments that provide the foundation of future economic growth, a new report finds. State lawmakers are considering a change that would provide a tax cut to a handful of corporations and no guarantee of job creation, says a recent report released by the Budget & Tax Center, a project of the NC Justice Center. It would also reduce available revenue for public investments by $90 million over the next fiscal year, on top of the nearly $440 million in lost revenue resulting from the tax plan passed last year. “All told, the change would likely result in further cuts to the very investments that contribute to the success and viability of corporations in our state,” said Cedric Johnson, a policy analyst with the Budget & Tax Center

and author of the report. Corporations doing business in North Carolina pay state income tax on the portion of their profits earned in the state. Currently, the state uses a formula based on a corporation’s property, payroll and sales in North Carolina, with sales factored in more heavily. State lawmakers are considering a shift to the single sales factor (SSF) formula that would only consider the sales component, meaning a multistate corporation making 10 percent of its sales to North Carolina customers would pay NC corporate income tax on 10 percent of its nationwide profit. The report includes four reasons why North Carolina should not shift to an SSF formula: • The single sales factor is not an effective economic development tool and is unlikely to spur job creation. Despite claims that the SSF formula will improve the state’s business climate by expanding property and payroll, other states that have adopted the formula have not seen this happen. Making a marginal change in corporate tax policy will have no significant bearing on where corporations invest or create jobs; those decisions will be determined by business fundamentals like the availability of skilled workers and the costs of energy and transportation. • The single sales factor will not benefit North Carolina businesses with little or no out-of-state sales, putting them at a competitive disadvantage. Because SSF disregards a corporation’s in-state property holdings and payroll size in determining its taxes, it disproportionately favors corporations with a high quantity of out-of-state sales. In turn,
smaller firms - which are less likely to be taxable in other states - won’t profit from this change. • The single sales factor will further reduce revenue for public investments that promote economic growth. A shift to SSF in North Carolina would cost about $90 million in forgone revenue. The cost could be much greater in the long run because corporations that would actually pay more under SSF can restructure their operations to keep that from happening. • If some corporations pay less, other North Carolinians will end up paying more. Since it is legally required to balance its budget, North Carolina will likely not reap any short-term economic benefits from shifting to an SSF because every dollar given away in a tax cut through this change has to be made up with either a tax increase on another business or individual or with a cut to state services–or some combination of both. State lawmakers should reject a single sales factor formula and instead focus on creating a fairer corporate income tax by closing existing loopholes that gives preferential treatment to some businesses at the expense of others, the report says. “North Carolina is still investing less in vital public services than it did before the recession, including K-12 education, public universities, and economic development,” Johnson writes. “If the state continues to cut support for these public investments that promote opportunity and have been shown to boost the economy over the long haul, then North Carolina’s economic future will be bleak.”

In the community kitchen, sharing a love of cooking
By Allyson Grindstaff Community Kitchen manager My grandmother was a food service manager for the area high school and had a love for cooking. One thing you could always count on when you visited was having a bellyful of home cooked food made with a big helping of love. I remember spending the summers at their house growing up, and have fond memories of helping her prepare the food. She would make all kinds of casseroles, pies, cookies, and candies to take to picnics or other social gatherings. I also have her love of cooking and particularly enjoy baking cakes, breads, and sweets. I attended Johnson and Wales University in Charleston, S.C., where I received my Associates degree in Culinary Arts. I also have worked in the restaurant industry for almost 15 years, including at the Biltmore Estate. A few years ago I was approached about making cakes, cookies, and other items for a coffee shop. I was excited to say the least and began dreaming big.
When I started investigating about making things in my home to sell in the coffee shop I began to see a mountain of rules and regulations before me. It seemed impossible and I didn’t have the money to purchase commercial space at which to make them. This is the same problem most businesses just starting out run into. They have a great product but end up getting so frustrated with trying to navigate through all of the regulations to properly prepare and sell their product that they end up giving up. I may not have been able to make it “big” showcasing Grandma’s love in the coffee shop but today I get to in a much larger way. As the manager the new Community Kitchen located on Mayland Community College’s Mitchell Campus in Spruce Pine, I am able to help others make their dream a reality. We rent commercial kitchen space on an hourly basis so that small businesses and individuals have a sanitation-graded facility with the equipment needed to help them cross over that mountain of

regulations and rules. The facility can be used to prepare food for retail sale, catering functions, personal use, or other specialized uses. We also offer classes on financial, business development and marketing geared towards small businesses to help them along the way. The goal of the Community Kitchen is to help stimulate growth within our local economy through small businesses and individuals and assist them in accomplishing their dreams of getting their food product out to the public. The Community Kitchen was made possible through financial
support from the NC Tobacco Trust Fund Commission and Women for Women, a giving circle of The Community Foundation of Western NC. Local Chambers of Commence also gave support. My dream of sharing Grandma’s cooking may have come about differently by helping you find the avenue to put your cooking specialty before the public. If you have questions about our Community Kitchen and how I can help you or would like to setup an appointment to meet with me, please contact me at (828) 7661247.

Finding the facts about fossils
The thirdfourth grade class at South Toe Elementary School has been studying fossils and the changing surface of the earth. Last Wednesday they used modeling clay and plaster to create a model of how a fossil is formed. The students learned a lot and most of all had fun during the activity. Levi Jones, a fourth grade student, said, “I learned that trees can be fossiled when plant
material is buried attitude and ready b y s e d i m e n t , to learn. and then the plan t material is replaced by minerals.” Coda Medford, a fourth grade student, said, “the activity gave me an idea of what a real fossil would look like, and it was fun!” Overall, the activity was a success. Mrs. McKinney would like to thank all of her students for coming to class with a positive
DOT work to focus on N.C. 80 South Veteran’s license ID now available The N.C. Department of Transportation has awarded a contract to begin improving several sections of Yancey County roads. The 11.2-mile project will include milling, resurfacing and shoulder reconstruction on N.C. 80 from Colberts Creek Road to Hickory Springs Road, as well as several sections of secondary roads in the county. Work on the project is expected to begin in early April and should be finished by mid-October.
Maymead, Inc., of Mountain City, Tenn., was awarded the $1,589,731 contract for the project. This is one of the 17 road and bridge contracts worth $32.2 million recently awarded by NCDOT for projects across North Carolina. The contracts were awarded to the lowest bidders, as required by state law. The low bids received on the projects were 8.5 percent, or almost $3 million below NCDOT estimates.
Qualified North Carolina military veterans can now carry the designation “VETERAN” on their driver licenses and identification cards. State law now allows veterans who have been honorably discharged from the Armed Forces to present their DD-214 discharge form at a driver license office for the new designation.
The designation will assist in obtaining military discounts from a wide variety of retailers and service providers without having to show the military discharge form. Putting the designation on the driver license or ID card will enable the state’s veterans to show their photo ID and their veteran status at the same time.

Does competition bring out the worst in some? Competition can bring out the best or worst in someone, even those that are not competing. I was following a kayak bass fishing tournament at Santee Cooper, South Carolina, this last weekend. I thought about trying it myself this year but other engagements kept me from making the trip and entering my first bass fishing tournament. Regardless, I was still interested in the outcome as I have become acquainted with several of the anglers participating. Drew Haerer, who I have interviewed and used as a source for several stories, was one of those participants. I have never met Drew face to face, but I would say he is a friend simply from our interactions with each other. Drew had a really good first day placing fifth out of nearly 150 other competitors, all fishing from a kayak. This was the second year for the KBF (Kayak Bass Fishing) Open, and Drew’s second year participating. Last year Drew placed in the top 15 even though it was water he was not familiar with. After the first day, while browsing Facebook posts from
Bill Howard’s
Outdoors people in the tournament, one post caught my attention. It basically belittled anyone competing. “If I had to compete to fish, I would just quit. I fish for fun.” I thought it was a little over the top. Personally, I have never competed in sports such as fishing or shooting until recently. I tried out for the television show ‘Top Shot’ on History Channel and made it through several cuts based on my passion for the outdoors and my abilities. One of the things that probably kept me from the last stage was the lack of hardware from testing my skills against others. I was not upset about it; I just took it for what it was. I hunted and my skills were used for hunting, that was all. Now, especially over the last six months, I have challenged myself to improve skills such as archery. I have learned plenty, and it is all due to competition. It pushes me forward and keeps me focused. I am sure it will help

come hunting season even though there are some differences in both equipment and skill sets. But what about this fishing tournament? Why would someone feel that way as to call out someone for competing? I tried putting myself on that side of the argument. I thought about how I would debate competition destroys the sport or how it can defile an otherwise pristine experience. In high school we would occasionally have to argue a point opposite of the way we felt in order to help us empathize with another’s view. But even with the arguments I could make, they just felt weak at best. Merely talking points in order to express a view, they just did not make a strong case. There are ugly sides to any sport. You can find cheating in tournaments such as this. You can find people who are in it in order to gain sponsors and money only. But these are the exceptions. If someone were to cheat and ‘pre’catch fish, saving them for the weigh-in (or in the case of kayak fishing tournaments, measuring boards, as the fish are by the inch rather than by the ounce), does it defile the sport any more than the weekender who tells everyone of the 8 pounder that was really 4 pounds, or the fish caught out of

the farm pond that he trespassed to fish on? The majority of competitions, and competitors, whether kayak angling or target shooting, actually do everything they can for the sports, the promotion of the sports, and the continuance of the sports. They believe the sport in bigger than themselves, and it is. They may wear a jersey with several logos emblazoned across them, but they - the majority - do it for companies that have the same beliefs and passion for the sport as well. The competitions are just another way to enjoy something they have always enjoyed. They would be just as happy with a cane pole, a cup of earthworms, and a fighting bream. It is just a lot tougher to get all those people sharing the same pond and enjoy it together.

John Cannon is looking for somewhere to play basketball By Jonathan Austin Yancey County News The Georgia Bulldogs were playing Kentucky over the weekend in the Southeastern Conference tournament in Atlanta, yet threeyear Bulldog reserve center John Cannon was sitting down to a late lunch with family and friends in Micaville, far from the sounds and excitement of college basketball. Cannon had come home for the weekend after deciding to leave the team. On Saturday he took a moment to talk about why he wasn’t playing anymore in Athens. “I’m transferring from Georgia. I left the other day and it was mainly because - they didn’t want me to say this down there - but I feel like I was being treated unfairly,” the six-foot, 11-inch player said. “So I just decided it was time. I stood up for myself and said I want to get out of here.” Cannon, who helped take the Mountain Heritage Cougars boys’ basketball team to the state semifinals his senior year, said, “I left Georgia solely because of the coaches, mainly because of the head coach; not because of the players. My teammates are like my brothers. I’m going to miss them like crazy.” Cannon, the son of Stacey and Audrey Cannon, spent a good bit of his first three years of college eligibility sitting on the bench for head coach Mark Fox. He arrived at Georgia an admittedly slower big athlete, but he worked hard and was said by coaches to be one of the most improved players on the team going into his sophomore year. Last year he got 230 minutes of playing time, scored 31 field goals out of 61 attempts, and was perfect from the foul line with seven for seven shots. This year he saw only 82 minutes of play time but was still hitting .500 from the field and three out of four foul shots. Early this season John says he suffered “a mild ankle injury; it lasted for a couple of games but I came back strong, playing in practice.” Fans saw him play in Knoxville but then he says court time just seemed to dry up. “I got some minutes on the floor at Tennessee, but after that I didn’t really see the floor any more. I just felt like (Fox) wasn’t giving me a chance. He would use excuses like, ‘we have mismatches in there,’ and I was tired of hearing that. I’ve heard that since the beginning of last year.” Cannon, who holds the North Carolina high school record for blocked shots in a career, said he hasn’t been pushed to his true potential on the college court. “I believe I would have, if Coach Fox would have played me to my advantages. In high school I was shooting the ball, I was posting deep, doing a little bit of everything.” But John says most of what he heard in Georgia was negatives.
“When I got to Georgia he wouldn’t let elsewhere. We appreciate his contributions to me shoot the ball from outside. He would say the program over the past three years.” ‘You can’t shoot the ball from outside; that is So Cannon isn’t playing for Athens beyond your range,’ and I know it’s not. He anymore. Is he talking to any other teams? would allow me to be in a post and shoot the “The first people that connected with me were North Georgia,” a division two team in Dahlonega. “They called the day after I was released. I was on my way home driving and they called and said they thought they had something for me at North Georgia.” He said Coach Johnson told him “that there were a few schools that wanted to talk to me. One of those was Shorter University (in Rome, Ga.), also division two. They had some great seasons in the past; went to a final four and they were ranked No. 1 one year. They finished 34-3, from what I picked up,” he said. “There’s just coming off a bad season this year, with nine wins. They said that they feel like I am what they’re missing. They feel like I could be the key to getting back to that type of season; bigtime national stage Photos by Jonathan Austin in division two.” Was it nice to hear hoop shot pretty much, but if I did something someone talk like that again? “It is. It is very else he would say, ‘don’t complicate things.’“ nice to hear that,” Cannon said. “The question To put that in perspective, when Fox was I asked them was, did they have connections recruiting the tall Yancey player he told then- overseas” that could land him on a European Heritage Coach Barry Johnson that he wanted pro team after college? “They said, ‘yeah, Cannon to be a shooter. Back then Johnson we’ve sent seven guys overseas.’ They said said Fox told John, ‘you’re a big guy, and you they have great connections and they said can shoot, and that’s unusual. Some people they have no doubt that I can play overseas,” are big but can’t shoot; some people can shoot Cannon said. but aren’t big.’” “This is my junior year,” Cannon said Cannon also feels he has been misplayed matter-of-factly.

Either way works that I can’t block shots. He said I’d miss the for him, he said. For now he plans to focus blocked shot.

Old article shows wealth of good sense I recently came across a 1951 article my late mother saved from the Charleston (SC) News and Courier. Titled “Agency Offers Pointers on How Parents Can Guide Their Child’s Emotional Development,” it is proof that parents and professionals of three generations ago possessed a wealth of common sense, a quality that has since become most uncommon. The subject was war - the reader may remember that America was embroiled in yet another one at the time - and what parents could do to help their children cope with its realities. Keep them out of earshot when war was being discussed to prevent trauma to their fragile psyches? No. Adults should inform them of the dangers of war and the very real possibility (or so it was thought at the time) that an enemy could launch missiles at us. But wouldn’t that cause a child to become fearful? Yes, but fears are not necessarily bad things. Miss Florice Langley, executive director of the Family Agency of Charleston was quoted as saying that “As long as these fears are real fears and not overly exaggerated fears they form a natural, even healthful part of a child’s emotional growth.” Indeed, adults were quite straightforward about such things back then. I remember, for example, crouching under my school desk during air raid drills. The hypothetical bombs in question were “atom” bombs, which, we

The same psychologist, a professor at Stanford University, went on to say that children should not be forbidden from playing war games. Rather, such play should be viewed as “natural outlets for emotional tensions.” It’s also a way, she said, of expressing a healthy rather than “morbid” interest in war. Today’s parents would do well to embrace the same commonsense view of their children’s imaginations. In this regard, it is interesting to note that as adult anxiety over children playing “war” and “cops and robbers” has increased, along with prohibitions concerning such fanciful play, so has bullying. Correlation does not prove cause, but this particular juxtaposition should make adults think twice about banning index-finger pistols and that sort of harmless stuff from their homes (and schools). The article concludes with the ever-sensible Miss Langley saying that parent anxiety over the dangers of war is the “greatest danger to the emotional health of their children.” Finally, she advises anxious mothers to be involved in a wider range of social and avocational activities. Amen to that for all mothers, anxious or not!

were told, could come raining down at any time. I don’t remember any kids my age or thereabouts who were “traumatized” by such information. We trusted that adults knew what they were doing and would protect us as well as they could. We were also aware that “as well as they could” was no guarantee of safety. As Miss Langley astutely pointed out, that was a “healthful” thing for us to know. Kids talked about it freely, but not obsessively. We mostly planned what candy stores we would pillage if we survived. The article then quotes a prominent psychologist as saying that anxious, frustrated, tense parents can adversely affect their children’s security. In turn, the children may develop various behavior problems. Mind you, many of the sorts of problems in question Family psychologist John Rosemond are today called “disorders” and children, not answers questions at www.rosemond.com. parents, are often medicated for them.

Scammers appear - like most pests - when the weather warms Warm weather is just around the corner, and seasonal driveway scammers are already at work. These hit-and-run crooks knock on doors, usually saying they just finished a job nearby and have leftover materials. If your driveway is already paved, they may offer to “reseal” it at a bargain price. But the price turns out to be exorbitantly high, and the quality of the materials and the workmanship are rock-bottom. That “seal” will wash away with the next rain, and if you pay these scammers to pave your driveway, the asphalt - if that is what it really is - will crumble in a matter of weeks.
T h e A t t o r n e y G e n e r a l ’s Consumer Protection Division has taken five driveway scammers to court in recent years. One scammer currently awaiting sentencing in federal court is facing up to 30 years in prison. These con artists typically operate under a number of different company names, but they all leave ripped-off consumers in their wake. The victims, who are often seniors, usually lose $3,000 – $6,000. Don’t get steamrolled by a paving scammer. • Be skeptical of anyone who knocks at your door offering to work on your home.
• Always check out a company Division by calling 1-877-5-NOthoroughly and get estimates in SCAM or filing a complaint online writing first. at www.ncdoj.gov. • Remember, the person who comes to your door selling services is supposed to tell you that you have three days to change your mind and cancel the contract in writing. They often “forget” to inform you of your three-day right to cancel. But that law can still provide a helpful remedy against a spur-of-the-moment decision that you quickly come to regret. Email items If you or someone you know to jonathan@ has been approached by a paving yanceycountynews.com scammer, report it to the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection
