  • COLUMN: City should get tough on delinquent taxes

    Column as I see ’em ...

    Kudos to the city council for discussing how to collect city property taxes from those who don’t pay.

    Here’s a happy thought. Spring will be here in just a little over two months. With that in mind I thought this would be a good time to start planning the garden. We’ve got all of those gardening catalogues arriving in our mailbox almost daily. All you need is paper and pen to get started.

    I love to page through the catalogues and circle the item and the page numbers of those things that I’m interested in possibly growing. Don’t hold back. You never know what the next catalogue will bring and you may want to plant several varieties of the same thing.

    Water spilling from a South Anderson Water District tower on Lanes Mill Road has a homeowner there hopping mad and demanding that the district fix damage it has caused to his property.

    Monty Collingsworth says the recent spillover has flooded his septic system, washed out his driveway and has left “miniature lakes” on his frozen yard.

    “I’ve spent thousands of dollars trying to keep my land from disappearing, but the water comes so fast I can’t stop it,” Collingsworth said. “They are ruining my property.”

  • Feared snow produces only couple of inches

    They were too prepared, but that’s a good thing.

    County highway foreman Chip Chambers said his crews were prepared for significantly more snow that the 1 ½ to 2 inches that fell Thursday in Anderson County, but is happy those preparations proved unnecessary.

    “It’s a blessing, really,” Chambers said by phone around 1:30 p.m.
