Don’t feed the bears: Warrensville man requests nuisance ordinance to prevent attacks

JEFFERSON — Warrensville resident Jonathan Parker requested the Ashe County Board of Commissioners on Nov. 2 to consider an ordinance or nuisance provision to deter bear-feeding. Addressing the board during its scheduled meeting’s public comment, Parker said indiscriminate bear feeding on West Mill Creek Road has led to a “concentration of bears in the community to the point that residents are concerned about walking their dogs and being outside after dark.” He also said bear feeding can lead to neighborhood property damage. Although Ashe County has a significant wildlife population, Parker said that recent bear sightings occur “more frequently than what most (Ashe County) residents consider normal.” He also said the community has limited recourse for the growing bear population, which has become more accustomed to human interaction and regular feedings. Parker explained that bear feeding isn’t about legality, punishment, or “enjoying wildlife.” He’s worried that consistent feedings could lead to injury because wildlife has become “so habituated to humans” and has destroyed property. However, commissioners didn’t address Parker’s concerns, as is the norm under board decorum. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission discourages feeding wildlife because it creates public safety hazards, spreads disease, and leads to property damage. The

County approves salary increase for truck driver

JEFFERSON — The Ashe County Board of Commissioners approved a salary reclassification for an environmental services department truck driver on Nov. 2. The employee reclassification will increase the driver’s salary from $48,150 to $50,076. According to county records, the request includes a significant change in the job duties of the diesel mechanic/truck driver. County Manager Adam Stumb said the department’s director, Scott Hurley, requested the reclassification because a staff member is taking on more responsibilities, including transporting white goods, cardboard, and landfill leachate with an 18-wheeler. Hurley told county officials that the driver is also using his skills and qualifications more often for the added responsibilities. With increased environmental services’ traffic, Stumb said the driver could reduce the workload of another affected employee within the department. Hurley expects the department to continue requiring the position to perform duties considered “above and beyond” its current classification. The county manager also said the employee has a good driving record.
