Pastor Sam Bowman from The King’s Promise Ministries (center, in the red shirt) has his Dan River baptism interrupted by a man in a motorboat over the weekend. The boater was cited by a Hanging Rock park ranger when he entered the state park’s section of the river.
DANBURY At Monday night’s County Commissioners’ meeting, representatives from the new solar energy farm near Walnut Cove tried to explain fencing to the owner of a major fencing company, and it did not go well for the visitors.
At issue was a request by Pinegate Renewables, the Asheville-based company building the Lick Creek Solar farm, to use a type of woven-wire fencing around the large complex, fencing that would allow small animals to pass through. They even brought a section of the “wildlife permeable” fencing to show the Board of Commissioners.
The new Board of Commissioners convenes its organizational meeting earlier in the month.
DANBURY The Board of County Commissioners moved closer to approval of a new salary system for county employees during its regular meeting Monday night, signaling it will approve the salary study plan being offered by The Mercer Group, an outside consultant, at its next meeting in January.
Actually implementing the plan, however, may require much more work, several commented.
In short, the plan would assign each county job a pay grade, which would have a minimum salary, a maximum and a mid-point. The Mercer Group’s plan also offers recommendations as to which jobs should be assigned into which pay grade.
