Russell tells of Saluda’s good ol’ days Discusses his book, ‘In Times Gone By,’ for PCHA by Leah Justice
Saluda native Bill Russell told stories of slower times during a Polk County Historical Association meeting Tuesday, May 3, while discussing his book, “In Times Gone By.” The book is about his memories of growing up in Saluda, which is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year. Russell spoke of many aspects that made Saluda great, including downtown stores and the people.
Russell was born on the Henderson County side of Saluda in 1934 in a tworoom house that blew when the wind blew, he said. Russell said he grew up poor, but never went hungry. He didn’t have a car until 1950, he said. He said anyone who had anything had a cow back then and they grew most of what they ate. “If the cow dried up and didn’t give any milk, you could always eat him,” Russell said. (Continued on page 3)

(continued from page 1)
Russell was uniquely the last official graduate of Saluda High School. He was drafted in the Army when he was 18, prior to graduating. Although he came back from service and received his GED, he received a letter in 2007 saying that all people who got drafted in high school would get their diploma. A graduation service was arranged just for Russell, with the principal and superintendent presenting him his diploma. Russell retired from the Army and National Guard in 1974 after almost 24 years of service. He also worked at Adams Millis in Tryon for a while and retired twice from Landrum Mills.

socialization skills. Society members plan to participate in local parades and community events, as well as hosting fundraisers to get the word out about their efforts. Saluda Board of Commissioners approved the request for a dog park back on March 14. The group had requested the use of city property off Chestnut Street for the park, which would include benches
and doggie bags. “[The dog park] that was approved was supported by over 30 folks here in town simply by word of mouth in just a few days time - it is amazing how many dog owners there are here,” Waring said. If you can help the society with information about “Bridge Dog” or its owners, call Waring at 749-1332 or Betty Ford 749-2333.

Two sisters open Hearts of Clay, a paint-yourown pottery studio, in downtown Columbus by Samantha Hurst
Tamara Jones and her sister, Heather Condrey, fell in love with the idea of Flying Saucers, a paint-your-own pottery studio in Spartanburg, S.C. For eight years, they spent their free time there brushing paint strokes across whimsical ceramic pieces as gifts and decorative items for their homes. The two had been customers of the pottery studio for eight years before purchasing it in August 2010. Not five months later, Jones and her husband, Jay, were leaving dinner with family at The Brick in Columbus when they noticed a neighboring storefront. They knew instantly it would be the perfect spot for a second studio. At the time Jones had no clue it was the same spot where her grandfather, Ralph Cochran, once displayed and sold his handiwork. “I’m renting the same building that my papa rented to make furniture and I’m doing what my grandmother loved to do,” Jones said. Her grandmother, Ethel Cochran, also loved creating ceramic pieces. Hearts of Clay officially launched its second studio in Columbus April 1. The studio offers customers the ability to paint their own pottery pieces – piggy banks, jewelry boxes, travel mugs and platters – in the colors and de-

Ensure adequate mental health funding Issue: Seek legislation to ensure adequate capacity of state-funded acute psychiatric beds. Seek legislation to maintain the existing levels of state funding for community mental health services. Oppose legislation to close state-funded beds until there is adequate capacity statewide.
NCACC policy: Comprehensive and efficient human services, including social services, health and mental health, are essential to human well-being in our present society. These services must be clearly defined and adequately funded. State-mandated services delivered at the county level should be financed from state revenue sources in order for every citizen of North Carolina to receive a substantially
similar degree of service. Background: As state and federal policy changes have forced the downsizing of state psychiatric hospital capacity, commensurate increases in local service capacity has not kept pace with bed closures. The state has purchased local hospital beds that are set aside for the mentally ill, but additional funding is needed for increased bed capacity. Counties and local hospital emergency rooms have had to manage an increasingly larger population with mental health needs with inadequate community services, and the mentally ill are on the rise in county jails and among the homeless. Action needed: Additional funding is needed to support the community mental health system. H84 and its companion bill, S334, would provide/appropriate more than $39 million to expand inpatient psychiatric bed capacity. These two bills are sponsored by Rep. Verla Insko (Orange) and Sen. Martin Nesbitt (Buncombe), who co-chaired the Legislative Oversight Committee on Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services. The House bill is in the Committee on Health and Human Services; the Senate bill is in Mental Health and Youth Services. Bills related to goal: H84, “Expand Inpatient Psychiatric Beds/Funds,” sponsored by Insko (D56) Orange; Farmer-Butterfield (D24) Edgecombe, Wilson; Brisson (D22) Bladen, Cumberland, an act to appropriate additional funds for the (Continued on page 11)

Preserve the existing local revenue base
IT’S TOUGH
beInG On vacaTIOn every day. But somebody has to do it – why not you?
Issue: Preserve the existing local revenue base.
NCACC policy: County officials recognize their responsibilities for carrying out policies and programs formulated by the general assembly. We ask that state policy makers should recognize county revenue base limitations and variations in revenue-producing capabilities among counties and that the state not mandate programs requiring county financial participation. Background: The property tax is the mainstay of the county revenue base, equating to more than 50 percent of a county’s total revenues and more than 75 percent of tax revenues. Over time, the general assembly has enacted various and expensive property tax exclusions and exemptions. Few, if any, of these property tax base reductions are reexamined to determine if they have achieved their intended tax policy objectives. Lawmakers rarely reassess local revenue losses to determine if the fiscal analysis appropriately identified actual revenue impacts once the exclusion or exemption has been enacted. Seldom is the revenue loss totality of property tax exclusions and exemptions addressed when individual exclusions are brought forward in the legislature. As an example, North Carolina counties and cities pay for the Elderly Homestead Exemption Program, a program originally designed to provide a property tax break for the low

have to increase property taxes by as much as 25 cents to generate the amount of revenue needed to maintain the same level of service. The general assembly is often told that counties in other states are currently responsible for roads, but counties in those states do not share costs in other areas, such as public education and health and human services.
Background: The secondary road system is currently funded through two sources: the Highway Fund and the Highway Trust Fund. These two funds are used to construct and pave roads and to improve existing paved secondary roads. In 2009, legislation was introduced that would have shifted secondary road responsibilities to the counties. That bill would have created two road systems in the state: a primary road system over which the state would maintain responsibility, and a secondary road system for which counties would become responsible. Counties would have become responsible for more than $500 million in costs for secondary road resurfacing and expansion projects. Some of the more rural counties would
Action needed: At this point, legislation has not been filed in this session of the general assembly that would shift this responsibility to the counties. As the state budget is deliberated, it is important that you continue to talk with your legislators about the negative impact such a shift would have on your county and the amount of property tax increase it would take to fund secondary road maintenance in your county.
The staff of the N.C. Department of Transportation has told the Joint Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation that the NCDOT does not support transferring responsibility for secondary road maintenance to counties. The NCACC opposes any attempt to force road responsibilities on counties.

Polk County Democratic Party Executive Committee passes resolution in support of local teachers, public education system The Polk County Democratic Party Executive Committee passed a resolution in support of Polk County teachers and the public education system resolution on May 5 at its regular meeting. The following is the text of the resolution: Whereas, May 2-6, 2011 is National Teachers Appreciation Week, and Whereas, teachers have played a crucial role in the
advancement, prosperity and cohesion of our community and have enhanced the quality of life for so many through the quest for knowledge and understanding, and Whereas, education is the foundation of the American Dream and public education has been the source of opportunity and hope for people from all walks of life for generations, and Whereas, North Carolina’s

Landrum’s Logan, Smith sign with N. Greenville Logan to run track, Smith to play volleyball, run track by Joey Millwood
Tyler Logan
Landrum track coach Russell Mahaffey has left a lasting impression on star track athlete Tyler Logan, who signed to run track at North Greenville on Thursday, May 5. “He expressed good Christian values that made me a better athlete,” Logan said. And according to Mahaffey, the Crusaders are getting a strong athlete. “Tyler has been blessed with an immense amount of speed,” Mahaffey said. Logan has run for Mahaffey for six years and holds the 200-meter record and was a part of a recordbreaking 4x100-meter run. North Greenville had a lot of appeal for Logan. The atmosphere and its “beautiful scenery” was one. “It’s a great school and it’s close to home,” Logan said. Close to home was a factor that made his mom, Sandy, happy as well, as she beamed with pride on Thursday. “I’m extremely proud that he’s taking advantage of the opportunity at North Greenville,” she said. As for Logan’s future, Mahaffey has high hopes for his talented athlete. “My hope is that Tyler will continue to work on his ability as a track athlete and I look forward to
seeing his accomplishments at the next level,” Mahaffey said.
Savanna Smith
Landrum’s Savanna Smith signed to play two sports at North Greenville on Thursday, May 5. Smith was a volleyball standout and is currently in the midst of a successful track campaign. Thursday was the endgame for a long, calculated plan by the senior. “Ever since I was in ninth grade, I wanted to be a part of their volleyball team,” she said. “I wanted to make that my goal for my high school career and I’m glad I’m reaching it.” Smith was an integral part of the Cardinal volleyball team this season. “She was an excellent player,” head coach Denise Riske said. “She devoted a lot of time training the summer before her senior year.” An ankle injury interrupted her year, but she thrived before and after, Riske said. On the track team, she’s had a successful career as a sprinter and jumper and she’s not finished yet. This season she set a personal record of over 15 feet in her long jump. She’s competing for the Upper State Championship in the 200 meter, the long jump and the 4x100. “She’s a very impressive lady and a team player,” Mahaffey said. “We’re proud parents of a dualsport athlete,” her mom Carolyn Smith said. “She’s worked hard since seventh grade.”

Protecting the rare cerulean warbler A small, pale blue and white songbird sings its buzzy song from high within the dense canopy of a tall oak tree. All you can see is a small shape flitting between the leaves while the loud persistent song continues. This is what one normally sees of the threatened cerulean warbler. From their wintering grounds in the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, these hardy little birds make a journey north every spring to breed in the Ohio River Valley and in a few locations here in Western North Carolina. Asheville is the only city in North Carolina with cerulean warblers in its backyard and from 12 to 24 male cerulean warblers hold territories on the Blue Ridge Parkway each year from Craven Gap as far as Lane Pinnacle Overlook. by Simon T h e l o c a l Thompson chapter of the National Audubon Society here in WNC is the Elisha Mitchell Audubon Society and we have adopted the Bull Creek Important Bird Area where volunteers have monitored our small population of cerulean warblers since 1998. Birders from all over the southeast come to Asheville to see and hear this beautiful blue songbird, whose overall numbers are decreasing precipitously. Cerulean warblers spend the winter on the eastern slope of the Andes in South America. Here they inhabit remnants of native forest and shade-grown coffee plantations, where they join other Neotropical and local

songbirds foraging for insects in the tall trees that shade the coffee plants. ProAves, a Colombian nonprofit organization “dedicated to the conservation of birds and their habitats through research, outreach and direct conservation actions in collaboration with local communities,” has established a reserve especially to protect the declining cerulean warbler. The “Cerulean Warbler Reserve” was established in 2005 and since that date the reserve has grown ten-fold. More funding has allowed more land to be purchased for the reserve and a small lodge has been built for eco-tourists. Folks from the local community are being trained as guides and as researchers, and local communities are being educated about the importance of birds in the local economy. So how do we help the cerulean warbler both here in North Carolina and down on
its wintering grounds in South America? To start with, I will give a presentation on May 17 at 7 p.m. at the Reuter Center on the campus of UNCA here in Asheville. I will discuss the cerulean warbler here in North Carolina and the Cerulean Warbler Reserve in San Vicente, Colombia. A small fee will be charged for this program as part of our annual Birdathon fundraising attempt. More information on this program is on our local Audubon Society’s website www. emasnc.org or call us at the Asheville Wild Birds Unlimited store on 828-687-9433. I hope to see you there. Simon Thompson has lived in WNC for the past 16 years. He owns and operates his own birding tour company, Ventures Birding Tours. He and Chris also own and operate the Asheville Wild Birds Unlimited Store. For more information on any of the birding activities in the area, drop by the store or check his website at www.asheville. wbu.com
