Perry Memorial Library

The Local Skinny: Perry Memorial Library Is Open And Ready To Serve Patrons

/by

In many communities the library is still an important resource. Henderson’s Perry Memorial Library also continues to be an important resource in our community. Patty McAnally, the library’s director, says that it has been a challenge to help serve their patrons through the pandemic. The library is currently open from 10am to 6pm Monday through Friday. Patrons are able to browse the stacks and use the computers. While some restrictions on seating are still ongoing, the library does still have seating available at tables in the facility. The History Room is also open by appointment for those looking to work on genealogy.

McAnally also understands that many are still not comfortable coming to the library so curbside pickup is still available and books can be reserved online. For those who need help navigating the library site and are unsure of how to place a book on hold, just give the library a call and they can help with the process.

If you do choose to go to the library, masks are required and if you forget yours they will be happy to give you one. However, McAnally says a national study has determined the risk of Covid transmission from things like books is very low. The virus does not survive very well on paper. Of course there are other items and surfaces beyond books and the staff of Perry Memorial Library continue wipe down computers, keyboards, mice, chairs and all counter tops between each patron to ensure safety. McAnally said it was a big relief to learn the books were not a concern for transmission of Covid. “We are here to help people,” McAnally said. Helping the library’s patrons was made much more difficult by Covid but things are improving now that the library is open again.

The Local Skinny! Evictions May Be On The Rise With Moratorium Lifted

/by

The moratorium on evictions has been lifted, and Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame has some advice for renters and property owners.

Although there may be some allowances for renters who live in properties that receive federal funding, ordinary renters and property owners should take note that in North Carolina, property owners who are not receiving rental income may now legally pursue eviction procedures for tenants who are in arrears.

John C. Rose talked about the moratorium on Thursday’s The Local Skinny! program on WIZS at 11:45 a.m. after speaking with Vance County Sheriff Curtis Brame.

The moratorium was put in place in 2020 when COVID-19 pandemic restrictions created financial hardships because employees were out of work. That moratorium has been extended a few different times.

But Brame wants residents to be aware that the moratorium has been lifted, and he encourages renters who may be out of compliance to do their best to keep up with their rent payments and to communicate with property owners if there’s a problem.

Brame’s office has two officers – one sergeant and one deputy – who specialize in dealing with eviction notices.

Now that the moratorium has been lifted, Brame said property owners once again can begin the process of serving eviction notices for renters who are behind in payments.

Tenants should try to stay current with their rent payments and to take care of the property they are occupying, he said.

In North Carolina, it is the job of the sheriff’s office to serve eviction notices and without moratoriums in place, property owners are going to be playing catch-up from the last year. But nobody likes to be the one knocking on the door with an eviction notice in hand.

Once an eviction process has started, the tenant is really at the mercy of the property owner.

Now is the time to be in front of this and make sure everything is in place. It can take anywhere between 10 days and 90 days to complete the eviction process, and it is the sheriff’s office’s job to make sure people and belongings have been cleared out once the process is complete.

But, no doubt, there are going to be some of those knocks on doors delivering news that no tenant wants to hear.

The Local Skinny! Downtown Live on Young – Amanda Ellis

/by

Young Street in downtown Henderson will be transformed in a couple of weeks for a few hours of al fresco dining, all for a good cause.
“Downtown Live on Young” will begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11 and Amanda Walker Ellis, chairperson of the Henderson-Vance Downtown Development Commission board said this fundraiser is all about Henderson – from the chef right down to the entertainment.

In planning for the annual event, which is the nonprofit’s major fundraiser, organizers looked “local.”

“We just wanted it to be all about Henderson, bringing Henderson back,” Ellis told John C. Rose on The Local Skinny! “This is a perfect way to show that we can and we will” succeed and thrive as a vibrant community, she added.

Instead of one long banquet-style table with a fancy flair, this year’s event will be set up a bit differently, Ellis said. There will be 10 tables that will each accommodate 10 people. Frankie Nobles BBQ N More is providing food for the event, which includes appetizers, garden salad, baked potato and made-from-scratch corn muffins, topped off with two entrees slow-smoked brisket and marinated grilled salmon. In addition to water, tea and lemonade, beer and wine will be served as well.

Ellis said all planning considered COVID-19 safety measures. For instance, each table will have its own appetizers and food will be buffet-style, but there will be designated food servers to fill plates.

On one end of the street, local musician Jimmy Barrier and friends will provide musical entertainment.

This year’s fundraiser is a little scaled back, she said, and she expressed appreciation of the various community sponsors who are providing financial support.

Tickets are $75 each – seating is limited to 100 people. Contact the Henderson-Vance Chamber of Commerce or any member of the HVDDC to get your tickets today!

The HVDDC is a nonprofit dedicated to downtown revitalization. It uses the money it raises for events and beautification projects like the one on the corner of Orange and Winder streets. Whether working to preserve buildings or address structural issues before they become bigger problems, HVDDC strives to avoid demolition and prevent neglect of buildings.

“All of that takes money,” Ellis said.
