M.A. Pace General Store to reopen in Saluda Saturday by Samantha Hurst

A wreath in memory of Robert Pace lovingly graced the door of M. A. Pace General Store in Saluda until just recently. Robert Pace passed away last October and with his death came the closure of his family business that first opened in 1899 – a staple of the Saluda community. “People said they didn’t know where to go in the mornings after he passed away,” said Saluda resident Tangie Ciarvolo. “Robert was such a gentle soul of a man. I think you can ask any man on the street and they would tell you the same thing.” Ciarvolo and her family, which includes her father, Saluda commissioner Leon Morgan, aspire to revive this piece of Saluda history by reopening the store this Saturday – the day before its 112th anniversary. “We’re not trying to be Eunice (Continued on page 3)

Proposed Saluda budget suggests moving city hall, raising taxes by Samantha Hurst

The Saluda Board of Commissioners must make a few hefty decisions in considering the city’s 2011-2012 budget. Finance director Ron Cole proposed two separate budget options Monday,

June 13, one of which included relocating city services from the current city hall building to a property known as the Ryan Boyle building. The Boyle property currently houses the business

or Robert,” Morgan said. “We’re just going to try and provide a good service to the people of Saluda.” No one can replace Eunice or Robert, according to Ciarvolo and her sister, Tonya Pace. The two and their sister Tammy Frisbee grew up running down to the counter at Pace to grab a piece of 1-cent candy and a glass bottle coke. The Morgan girls said they idolized Eunice Pace’s movie-star-like style with her red lipstick and the flowers she regularly wore in her hair. They said she always kept a squirt gun behind the counter too, exactly where it remains today. “It makes me feel really proud to carry on something that meant so much to us,” Tonya said. “It has always been a huge part of our hometown.” Retail business runs in the (Continued on page 4)

Morgan family, too. Morgan’s daughters, Tangie, Tammy and Tonya, are ninthgeneration Saluda residents. They’ve all played a part in running the family’s own antique store. Their great-grandfather, General Russell, even worked for M.A. Pace back in the 1920s. “I think Kay (Pace’s daughter) wanted someone to run it who was from here, who knew its history,” Ciarvolo said. “When you’ve known a place like this all of your life you almost feel protective of it. So, we’re going to keep it the way they had it when we were kids.” M.A. Pace General Store orig-

inated a block or two down main street from its present location in what is now Saluda City Hall. Old ledgers displayed in the store date back to 1906, while a stillworking scale was first patented in 1904. The shelves along the far right side of the store continue to house old shoeboxes and various cases display items sold in the store during the early part of the 20th century. M.A. Pace Sr. died in 1945 and at one time or another all six of his children had a hand in running the store. It was Robert Pace, though, who carried on the namesake business until the day he died. The new store owners will host a ribbon cutting at 8 a.m. Saturday and will remain open

Story

“My open heart surgery had unexpected complications, but my surgeon recognized the signs and saved my life.” “ In the middle of my triple-bypass operation at Mission, my surgeon realized there was a fibrous growth near my heart. Thanks to his quick recognition and incredible skill, the growth was removed and the bypass completed with no complications. I’m so grateful to have Mission’s top-notch medical care right in my own backyard. And what’s more, I wasn’t just a number on a list – my doctors and surgeons knew my name, recognized me, and took care of me.” Learn more about Mission’s comprehensive heart center at missionhearts.org.

Polk concession stand stirs discussion by Leah Justice

The Polk County Recreation Department was a topic of discussion throughout the Polk County Board of Commissioners’ June 6 meeting at the Saluda School auditorium, even though the topic being discussed had been removed from the agenda. Commissioner Ted Owens originally placed an item on the agenda titled “recreation department.” He then removed the item, saying the issue had been settled. Owens said he placed the item on the agenda after being contacted by a couple of residents who were concerned that the recreation department concession stand was not open on a recent game day. He said he later spoke with someone who said they would handle the issue, but by then the agenda had been completed. Commissioner Cindy Walker suggested in the future all items placed on the agenda should include an explanation. Owens said he put the item on the agenda with little information because it was close to the deadline for adding agenda items. A recreation department employee said the concession stand was not open because the department had not been notified games were being held that day. The employee said the concession stand was given a schedule of games at the beginning of the season and updates have not been provided. A few people spoke during public comments about the issue, including some who traveled to the meeting specifically to speak on the recreation department agenda item. One speaker included LuAnn Bryan of the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF), which some people said had provided grant money used to construct some of the recreation park.

Bryan expressed concern that the baseball fields are not being used according to the grant specifications, but it was discovered that the baseball fields were not constructed using PARTF grant funding. Others attending suggested

organizations using the county’s baseball fields be charged a fee, similar to how Harmon Field charges organizations for the use of its fields. Commissioners have not discussed the issue again since the June 6 meeting.

Columbus attorney’s license suspended by Leah Justice

Local attorney Charles “Mark” Feagan’s license has been suspended, according to the “North Carolina State Bar Summer 2011 Journal.” The journal states, “Charles Feagan of Columbus neglected his client’s case and failed to respond to the Bar. Feagan was reprimanded for similar misconduct in 2009. The DHC (Disciplinary Hearing Commission) suspended his license for five years.” Feagan practiced law in Polk County and also formerly served as a Columbus town councilman.

Lack of an original TDBPROMO - will page causes 27 problems and administrative delays at the very least and for that reason, your will should be secured in a safe place. a bank safe deposit box may not be the best place since banks may seal the box upon your death. Many clients prefer their attorneys store the will to assure its availability for probate and they retain a copy for their records. If you do this, make sure the copy of your will bears a legend stating where the original may be located. More than one trust agreement may be executed; duplicate or even triplicate originals may be stored in different locations. It is never a good idea to write on or attempt to revise your documents. Later entries on a will or trust create uncertainty with respect to the intent of the creator requiring lengthy court proceedings to resolve.

Foreclosures fall 38 percent in North Carolina The number of foreclosures in North Carolina dropped 38.3 percent last month compared to a year ago, according to data from RealtyTrac Inc. The company reported there were 2,689 homes in the state going through foreclosure proceedings in May, which was down 3.4 percent from April 2011. The decline in foreclosures in North Carolina exceeded the decline seen nationwide. RealtyTrac reported foreclosures dropped 33.4 percent across the nation last month compared to May 2010, and foreclosures dropped 2 percent compared to April 2011. South Carolina’s foreclosure rate in May was closer to the national average. The Palmetto State had 2,854 households in foreclosure last month, or a rate of one in every 730 households. Foreclosures were down 8 percent in South Carolina compared to the previous month. ***

Cliffs Communities has filed a lawsuit claiming it was defrauded by a Texas company that gained control of a large share of two Cliffs developments, The Cliffs at High Carolina and The Cliffs at Walnut Cove. The lawsuit claims Synovus Bank, based in Georgia, and companies related to Urbana, arranged a deal that resulted in Urbana “essentially stealing” Cliffs properties valued at more than $300 million. Urbana now controls about 250 lots at Walnut Cove, located in Avery’s Creek near Asheville, and about 250 lots at High Carolina, a 3,000-acre development between Fairview and Swannanoa that is expected to eventually feature a Tiger Woods-designed golf course. The Cliffs controls about 250 lots at Walnut Cove and about 850

at High Carolina. According to the lawsuit, Cliffs Communities claims Urbana gained control of its share through a fraudulent transaction. Cliffs said Urbana agreed to purchase $105 million in Cliffs debt for about $60 million. However, Cliffs’ lawsuit claims Urbana lacked the funds so it obtained a large loan from NBSC, a unit of Synovus, and used The Cliffs land as collateral. Urbana was able to obtain the favorable deal through personal relationships with officials at Synovus and NBSC, claims The Cliffs. The dispute with Urbana and Synovus is the latest financial difficulty faced by The Cliffs, which last year borrowed $62 million from residents in its communities to complete work on golf courses and other amenities. It’s unclear

how the lawsuit will affect the future of the High Carolina and Walnut Cove developments in Buncombe County. *** The N.C. Senate has approved a bill that would require young drivers to show they have completed many hours of driving practice with a parent or qualified adult before they can obtain a learner’s permit. The bill, sponsored by Johnston County Republican David Rouzer and approved 49-0 in the Senate, would require 120 hours of driving time with an adult over several months. Rouzer acknowledged that 120 hours of supervised driving may seem like a lot to some parents, but he said the state has to do something to curb the number of deaths on roads in the state. The bill, based on recommendations from a task force that (Continued on page 18)

House voted to eliminate North Carolina’s program to monitor clean air regulations. The bill aims to prohibit the state from enforcing regulations relating to greenhouse gas emissions beyond those enforced by the federal government. Five companies that have the highest emissions of hazardous pollutants in the state have urged Republican legislators in the N.C. General Assembly to repeal the state’s Air Toxic Regulations. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the five companies, which include Duke Energy, were responsible for more than half of the hazardous chemicals emissions in the state in 2009. Sheila Holman, director of N.C. Division of Air Quality, said North Carolina currently has stricter regulations for hazardous emissions than the federal government. She said the federal government’s rules do not go far enough to protect the state’s air quality. Holman said she was not advised of the legislation to repeal the air toxics program before the bill was introduced this week. She voiced concern that the bill was moving quickly through the N.C. General Assembly without sufficient time for public comment. Emerald Isle Republican Pat McElraft, who introduced the amendment to eliminate the air toxics program, said the change would bring North Carolina’s regulations in line with surrounding states, which rely only on federal regulations for air quality. She said the change is needed to make the state competitive for businesses.

examined teen highway deaths, would give North Carolina one of the most restrictive young-driver laws in the country. The measure is expected to go to the full House for consideration. Legislators in the N.C. House already are considering legislation that would make North Carolinians wait until they are 19 before they can get an unrestricted driver’s license. A House judiciary subcommittee approved by a 5-4 vote the measure that would make young drivers wait an extra year for the unrestricted license. *** Legislation aimed at curbing the annexation authority of cities and towns in North Carolina has moved closer to approval in the N.C. Senate. The Senate Finance Committee has approved a bill that would let landowners block proposed annexations. Under the bill, a town or city would be prohibited from seeking an involuntary annexation if 60 percent of the landowners in the annexation area sign a petition opposing the action. The petition would have to be completed within about four months after the annexation is approved. Landowners also would have a chance to obtain water and sewer service taps for free if enough of them request it within about three months of the annexation. Supporters of the bill said it will greatly restrict the authority of towns and cities to expand through “forced” or involuntary annexation. The N.C. League of Municipalities has said the bill will harm the financial health of cities and towns across the state by taking away their ability to grow at a manageable rate. The bill, already approved by the N.C. House, will require approval of the full Senate.

Author Heather Newton to speak at Lanier Library June 21 Author Heather Newton will speak about her new novel, “Under the Mercy Trees,” at the Lanier Library on Tuesday, June 21 at noon. The program is free and everyone is welcome. A native of Raleigh, N.C., Heather Newton is the daughter of an author of children’s books and, following her mother’s lead, began creating her own books as a small child. Her love of writing continued as she studied history at Carnegie Mellon University and law at U.N.C. Chapel Hill. After taking her first job in the field of law in Boston, she continued writing and joined a critique group to hone her skills. When she had paid off her student loans she quit her job, went traveling and wrote her first novel. Although she said she wasn’t pleased with her first book, she learned much from the writing process, moved to Asheville to be closer to her family and went back to practicing law. Newton met her husband, Michael, in Asheville and, after their marriage, began working on her second novel, which she describes as a “not-verythrilling legal thriller.” She then joined the “Flatiron Writers” group in Asheville. After publishing several of her short stories in the Flatiron group’s anthology, “Irons in the Fire: Stories from the Flatiron Writers,” she began to work on her third novel, “Under the Mercy Trees,” which was published by HarperCollins in January of this year. The novel, which is set in the mountains of Western North Carolina, involves a man’s search for his missing brother while dealing with long unresolved family matters. “Publishers Weekly” said of

Heather Newton

the novel, “Newton delivers a stirring debut novel told from the perspective of four central characters embroiled in a family drama that spans generations and is riddled with defensive secrecy and emotional penury in equal measures. Newton delivers across the board with these characters.” Tom Franklin, New York Times best selling author described it as “a novel that seamlessly, beautifully, twines past with present to show how we can never escape our histories or the deeds – good and bad – that create those histories. The powerful, swelling conclusion of this book raised gooseflesh on my arms and had me near tears.” Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing by the author. The program is one of the monthly Brown Bag Lunch series at the Lanier Library, which is on the corner of Melrose Avenue and Chestnut Street in Tryon. Coffee is available and audience members are encouraged to bring their own brown bag lunch if they so wish. – article submitted by Frances Flynn

To the Editor: On Monday, June 13 our “Bridge Dog,” loved and cared for by so many Saluda folks and several rescue organizations, was safely rescued. Dr. Matthews of Saluda Veterinary Hospital had been on standby during the last weeks and received the dog within minutes after the rescue to check her overall condition. Instrumental in the rescue were Dave and Marilyn Prudhomme and Ruth Anderson who, day after day, for several months, oversaw her feeding; Kayla Parrish, who is the area “Dog Whisperer;” Lonnie Hasselbring, who is part of the Foothills Humane Society rescue group; Ruth Grubbs, who called to offer the assistance which resulted in such stonelighting - page 2

a rewarding rescue; and last but not least, the Foothills Humane Society in Columbus, which is an all-volunteer organization that shelters cats and dogs from part of upstate South Carolina and Polk County. The following establishments were so kind to offer food to help sustain Bridge Dog in her long wait on the Bridge: Larkin’s Grill, Thompson’s Store and Grill, The Purple Onion and Caro Mi. They all deserve our support for their assistance in helping keep Bridge Dog alive. The Saluda Dog Society, which recognized the plight of “Bridget,” as she has been named, and the Foothills Humane Society welcome any donations to assist in her recovery as well as the care of many other four footed creatures who have been abandoned, abused or lost from their owners. – Pat Waring, Saluda

Community Chorus holds annual meeting June 20 The Community Chorus will hold its annual membership meeting Monday, June 20 at 7 p.m. at Tryon Presbyterian Church, located on Harmon Field Road. “Members” are singers, others providing supportive services for the concerts and financial contributors who underwrite chorus expenses. Dr. Mark Sch-

weitzer, choral director for the 2011 Christmas concert, will be introduced. Following a brief business meeting a social evening is planned. Refreshments will be served. All members are invited to attend. – article submitted by Joan Lonnes

Children’s program at Landrum Library June 21 There will be a special program for children in grades 1 - 6 at the Landrum Library Tuesday, June 21 at 11 a.m. Children will participate in a “Minute To Win It” game time with an international twist. This program is part of the “One World, Many Stories” summer reading series at the library. Children may still sign up

for summer reading and get in on the activities that will take place through the end of July. The deadline for the “Famous Buildings Around the World” lego contest is Thursday, June 30 at 8 p.m. For more information, call 864-457-2218. – article submitted by Nancy Caldwell

History program June 21 at Landrum Library postponed The history presentation and book signing for “Distilling the Mysteries of Hogback Mountain” have been replaced by an alternate program. This program is scheduled for the same time at the Landrum Library on Tuesday, June 21 at 6:30 p.m. In its place, the Dark Corner History Program, “The Stills of Glassy Mountain,” will be presented. “Stills of Glassy Mountain” features the stories of Deputy Sheriff PraloWood and Revenue Agent Jim Tanersley. It contains numerous photographs of this storied period, including photos of the remains of the broken

stills hidden in the woods. The reason for this change is that the publisher failed to sew the binding of the book - a requirement when using high quality color photographic paper. The result is a product that would not hold up over time. The author, Jim Stehlik, said it would be unacceptable to distribute a defective product. The books are being returned to the publisher and will be rebound at their expense. It is anticipated that the books will be returned in about three weeks, and the event will be rescheduled. – article submitted by Lee G. Morgan

Letter to the Editor

County tax cut

To the Editor: Mrs. McDermott, if the county collects money from the taxpayers that is over and above what they need to provide county services and to maintain the required reserve, that money should be returned

The Modified Optional Age Group B division was swept with first place finishes in all events by Julia Skellie, including All-Around (35.750). Skellie, daughter of David and Caroline Skellie, won first place finishes on vault with a 9.350, on bars with a 8.500, on beam with a 9.100 and on floor with an 8.800. Foothills Gymnasts next compete in the Southeast Regional Championship as North Carolina Team members against other state teams from across the southeast, such as Florida and Georgia. This event will be held at Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, N.C., June 18 - 19. Foothills Academy is coached by Jana Williamson and is located at 66 Academy Street in Tryon. – article submitted by Renae Waldman to the taxpayers. I don’t see where that is open to debate. Whether it is $1, $10 or $100 per taxpayer, the government should not be able to build up an excess slush fund in an economy where its citizens are trying to stretch every dollar they have to make ends meet. – Don Hofmann, Mill Spring redeemed -

Coming out a few moments later we were met in the hallway by Bonnie, tennis ball still clinging wetly between her jaws, sitting back on her haunches and surveying the entire sordid scene. Quietly, she placed the ball carefully on the floor and sank down, laying her head upon her crossed forelegs with a deep sigh. Bursting into tears I cried, “This is so cruel! Surely she can have more than a tablespoon of food?” “No, she can’t.” said Paul, sternly. “Dr Jeni made that very clear. She’s essentially on a three-day fast.” Tonight marks the end of the misery. My dog will have the best dinner she’s ever eaten. Followed, I am quite certain, by a trip to the manure pile.

How work can affect your Social Security Dear Savvy Senior I’m looking at retiring sometime this year and starting my Social Security benefits, but would also like to work part time. Will this affect my benefits, and if so, how much? Social Insecurity Dear Insecurity, You can collect Social Security retirement benefits and work at the same time, but depending on how old you are and how much you earn, it can cost you temporarily. Here’s what you should know. Working rules Social Security says if you’re under your full retirement age (which is 66 if you were born between 1943 and 1954; if not, see ssa.gov/pubs/ageincrease.htm to find your full retirement age) and are collecting benefits, then you can earn up to $14,160 in 2011 without jeopardizing any of your Social Security if you don’t reach your full retirement age this year. But if you earn more than the $14,160 limit, you’ll lose $1 in benefits for every $2 over that amount. In the year you reach your full retirement age, a less stringent rule applies. If that happens in 2011, you can earn up to $37,680 from January to the month of your birthday with no penalty. But if you earn more than $37,680 during that time, you’ll lose $1 in benefits for every $3 over that

Savvy Senior limit. And once your birthday passes, you can earn any amount by working without your benefits being reduced at all. Wages, bonuses, commissions and vacation pay all count toward the income limits, but pensions, annuities, investment income, interest and government or military retirement benefits do not. To figure out how much your specific earnings will affect your benefits, see the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test Calculator at ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/ RTeffect.html.

gross income, nontaxable interest, and half of your Social Security benefits is between $25,000 and $34,000 for individuals ($32,000 and $44,000 for couples), you have to pay tax on up to 50 percent of your benefits. Above $34,000 ($44,000 for couples), you could pay on up to 85 percent, which is the highest portion of Social Security that is taxable. About a third of all people who get Social Security have to pay income taxes on their benefits.

Thanks to you, all sorts of everyday products are being made from the paper, plastic, metal and glass that you've been recycling. But to keep recycling working to help protect the environment, you need to buy those products.

Temporary loss It’s also important to know that if you do lose some or all of your Social Security benefits because of the earning limits, they aren’t lost forever. When you reach full retirement age, your benefits will be recalculated to a higher amount to make up for what was withheld. For details and examples of how this is calculated, see ssa.gov/retire2/ whileworking3.htm.

Savvy tips: For more information on how working can affect your Social Security see ssa.gov/ retire2/whileworking.htm and ssa.gov/pubs/10069.html, or call the Social Security helpline at 800-772-1213 and ask to receive a free copy of publication number 05-10069, “How Work Affects Your Benefits.” And for information on Social Security taxes call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask for their free publication 915, “Social Security and Equivalent Railroad Retirement Benefits,” or see www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ p915.pdf.

Tax factor You also need to factor in Uncle Sam. Because working increases your income, it might make your Social Security benefits taxable. Here’s what the IRS says. If the sum of your adjusted
