~ 12. | WCnewsmagazine | Former NFL athlete runs for Congress in By Alice Morrison WGnewsmagazine On October 20, Heath Shuler spoke with the Democratic Women of Jackson County and their guests at the Justice Center in Sylva. Shuler is the Democratic candidate who will run against Charles Taylor for the N.C. 14% District seat in the U.S House of Representatives in November 2006. Taylor, the incumbent, has represented the 11* district since 1991, but the race between Shuler and Taylor in 2006 is expected to be one of the most watched congressional races in North Carolina and in the country. Born and raised in Swain County, Heath Shuler is most known for his achievements as a football player. Shuler played quarterback, leading Swain County High School to three state championships. He then played at Tennessee, where he earned SEC Player of the Year, and in 1993, Shuler was runner-up for the Heisman trophy. In 1994, he was the 3 pick in the NFL draft, where he first played for the Washington Redskins. Shulers name is well-recognized across the country, but he is especially well-known in western North Carolina. This popularity may give Shuler an edge that past democratic candidates who have run against Taylor have not had; for example, last years candidate, Patsy Keever, was primarily known within Buncombe County, yet she secured 45% of the total district's vote. At the October 20" event in Sylva, Shuler said he wants to preserve mountain values and take care of our people. He spoke extensively about his decision to seek election to Congress, saying he and his wife want to raise their children in WNC and that its time for a big change and to give back. Shuler cited several issues he feels must be improved. He said Social Security is a contract between the ages that should not be threatened by putting social security funds into financial intuitions, where 2-3% of the money By Gary Takacs * WCnewsmagazine The Jackson County library was built on a quiet end of Main Street in Sylva. Its 6,400 original square feet of floor space was built back in 1970. Plans | for a new public library were brought to county commissioners 10 years ago; | Sylva is still waiting. : Plans are in place to build a larger facility on the property where the old- _ Western Sizzler Restaurant once stood in the Sylva Plaza, but local, business, _ and county support needs to remain in place. If plans go ahead as residents would like, the doors to the new facility will open in 2009. The next question is Who will help fund this project? What a wonderful question, indeed. In August 2005, county commissioners committed to one decision related to the new library; they decided to make a funding decision in January of 2006. As of right now, the county/town has made no financial commitment goes to the _ institution itself. Furthermore, Shuler addressed health care issues, saying It's a shame that we live in such a powerful nation, yet we cannot provide healthcare for our citizens. He also spoke about unfunded mandates such as No Child Left Behind, the dismal state of our national debt, and the need to bring industry back to the mountains. When addressing how he will work to address these issues, Shuler spoke about his vision of western North Carolina as a place where his children can come back to raise their own kids. He posed the question, Why couldnt western North Carolina have high-tech industries and possibly become the Silicon Valley of the South? In addition, he aims to protect the environment and continue to encourage tourism. Shuler concluded his speech with The future starts today and that he will be a representative who is accountable for his actions and who leads by example. Public library expansion plans still on shaky ground towards the advancement of this project. Therefore, no commitments can be made from individuals or businesses and no grant proposals can be. mailed out. In order to receive those grants, an amount of financial leverage has to be in place. Organizations that would offer a grant need to see a large portion of the funding covered; no one will donate money to a cause that seems to have no future. Is Jackson County really taking this issue seriously? Jackson County Librarian Michael Cartwright said, The library was told to seek out local fundraising funds before a commitment could be agreed upon. Regional libraries have increased in size since 1970; a library in Cashiers will open around July of 2006 at 12,000 sq. feet. The Cashiers library is a branch of the Jackson County Library; the main county library in Sylva will be smaller than its subordinate. The library in Sylva cant expand upward because increased parking would be needed, and if youve seen downtown Syiva lately, there isnt much room for parking now. They also cant expand on the back of the current building because the parking lot on the reverse side is owned by another local business. As for neighboring counties, such as Macon, their county board has all of their ducks in a row when it comes to county support of a new public library. Since the Jackson County library's opening in 1970, the Macon County Public Library has relocated three times, increasing its space every time. Each time they moved, funding commitments have reached $4 million from the County. Alternate sites have been researched; the committee deemed every one unacceptable for their purpose. Southwestern Community College was a strong possibility in the early stages of expansion. Local uproar ensued for fear that pedestrians walking to and from the library wouldnt browse the local businesses on Main Street, decreasing downtown revenue. The public understands the importance of a new public library. Those who dont seem to understand are the ones who ultimately hold the checkbook. The future relies on the power of commitment and cooperation of Jackson County to make the final call.
