City closing in on halfway house rules

City planners are finalizing new ordinance provisions to allow group residential facilities for juveniles and adults to exist in Mount Airy as an alternative for persons who otherwise might be behind bars. The Mount Airy Planning Board has moved closer toward establishing a regulatory framework in light of interest being shown in such a facility in town. While some forms of residential group homes or extended-stay facilities presently exist in Mount Airy, that board and city Planning Director Byron Brown are now focused solely on “halfway houses” as “stand-alone” SR (special requirements) entities. Newly developed language has been added to a proposed city ordinance governing such homes in accordance with this. It defines a halfway house as “a licensed home for juveniles or adult persons on release from more restrictive custodial confinement or initially placed in such more restrictive custodial confinement.” In a halfway house, “supervision, rehabilitation and counseling is provided to assist residents back into society, enabling them to live independently,” the proposal states. No change has occurred in the city zoning districts where such facilities can be placed as the regulatory process evolved recently. These include R-4 (Office-Residential), B-2 (General Business) and B-5 (Medical Business). A halfway house

Weekend, nightly closures planned for U.S. 601 in Yadkinville

An N.C. Department of Transportation contractor will close a short stretch of U.S. 601 at U.S. 421 this weekend and overnight next week to finish constructing roundabouts at the off-ramps. Beginning at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 6, U.S. 601 (State Street) will close between the U.S. 421 ramps while crews finish installing curb, concrete islands and truck aprons within the roundabouts during a weekend-long operation, weather permitting. Crews will reopen U.S. 601 in both directions by 6 a.m. Monday. This weekend operation will be followed by overnight closures with drivers utilizing the same detour from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night through Friday morning. During the closures, drivers who wish to drive through the U.S. 601 corridor must follow a detour onto U.S. 421 to the next exit, turn around and return to U.S. 601. Drivers exiting U.S. 421 onto U.S. 601 must turn right onto U.S. 601 or follow the U.S. 421 detour. The $19.8 million contract with Blythe Construction includes two additional roundabouts on U.S. 601 at the Maple Street and Lee Avenue intersections. The roundabouts are designed to ease congestion and improve traffic flow throughout the corridor. The project also includes construction of a new median

Support urged for local caregivers

Estimates show that about 43.5 million caregivers have provided unpaid services to an adult or child in the past year — with a proverbial law-of-averages situation existing locally. It’s one Mount Airy Mayor Jon Cawley described in no-uncertain terms during an October council meeting. “Chances are if you are not a family caregiver right now, you have been, you may be at some point or you know someone who is, or you will someday need a family caregiver yourself to help you live independently at home,” Cawley said. That session included the mayor reading a city proclamation highlighting November as National Family Caregivers Month. “This is a real thing in our world,” said the mayor, whose own family has been touched by it involving care for his elderly mother-in-law who resides outside the county. North Carolina has 2.1 million family caregivers who are helping older parents, spouses and other loved ones live independently in their homes and communities — where they want to be, according to the city proclamation. Applying a state average to that involvement shows that 14,000-plus Surry County residents are looking after older parents, children with medical needs or spouses. Age-friendly city Recognition of caregivers has special

Election results in Yadkin County, sales tax increase fails to pass (again)

Most of the local races in Yadkin County were already decided via the primary or with candidates running unopposed. In the one contested municipal race in the town of Boonville, incumbent Greg Wagoner reclaimed his seat with 209 votes as did newcomer Michael G. Wilkins with 200 votes. Incumbent William Paul Baity, a former commissioner who was appointed to the board earlier this year, failed to reclaim his seat, coming in with a total of 172 votes. The Yadkin County sales tax referendum also failed to pass. This is the fifth time the measure has been on the ballot over the past several years, but still no dice. County leaders held info sessions and promoted the referendum, attempting to educate voters on how the quarter cent increase would aid the county, but to no avail. The vote totals were 7,037 against and 6,147 for. In the state legislature, Senate District 36 incumbent, Republican Eddie Settle, reclaimed his seat with a nearly 73 percent majority over Democrat challenger Trevor Cole Hardwick. State House incumbent, Republican Julia Howard, also claimed a handy victory with nearly 71 percent of the vote against Democrat challenger Sabrina Harris.
