The highlight of his career was having the opportunity to fly Presidents Bush and Clinton. He retired again in 2006 after a career as an airline captain responsible for training pilots for his company. He is currently working in a part-time capacity training pilots for his former company.

Besides serving as a Saluda commissioner, Morgan is a member of the Saluda Medical Center board of directors, a member of the Isothermal Planning and Development Commission board of directors and vice-president of the Lake Sheila Property Owners board of directors. “I decided to run for elected office because I have strong convictions that we must preserve the Saluda we know and love,” Morgan said. “Some of our infrastructure was developed during times of limited resources and needs upgrading or rebuilding, which we are in the process of doing at this time. I was not in favor of and voted against the recent property tax increase. We need to develop alternate sources of revenue rather than having such a heavy reliance on property taxes. We have undertaken a number of initiatives since I have been in office, many of which are ongoing at this time. I would like to see these through to fruition and finish what I started. With the continued involvement of our citizens Saluda has a bright future.” Leon Morgan Leon Morgan was born in the Piney Grove section of Saluda in 1944 and lived in the Mountain Page Community until 1978.

Saluda candidates answer questions from Bulletin Editor’s note: The Bulletin asked municipal candidates to answer questions about local issues. Below are the answers provided by Saluda candidates. 1. What will be your top priorities if elected to town/city council? Lynn Cass: We need to keep the small town atmosphere in Saluda and protect what we have here. The downtown is on the National Register of Historic Places but has no ordinances to protect its future. We should keep the citizens of Saluda better informed on what is going on. I would use email for everyone who has it, and letters mailed to those who don’t, for monthly updates. The website needs to be constantly updated to include meeting notices, minutes of meetings, zoning ordinances, water rates, public hearing notices, etc. No one needs to be kept out of the loop. John Morgan: • Continue to revitalize the city water and sewer infrastructure and build a financial reserve. The fund is currently sound and operating in the black.

of whom attended Saluda School and graduated from East Henderson High School. They also have two granddaughters, Scarlett and Cynthia, and one grandson, Lathan, all of whom live in Saluda. Morgan is a high school graduate and served in the U.S. Army from 1966 to 1968, serving in Vietnam. He was discharged as a sergeant E-5. Morgan has been in the construction trade and furniture business for more than 40 years. Some of the pieces of furniture that he built have been featured in “Southern Accents” in September 1995 and “Southern

• Develop alternate water sources, increase customer base and lower cost structure. I negotiated the purchase of a private water system but Saluda was denied permission to close the sale by the Henderson County Board of Commissioners. They now have a new board seated and we will again approach them on this purchase. Our new water line connecting Saluda with Tryon provides us with a total of five potential water sources, giving us the potential for price competition with future purchases. • Develop alternate sources of revenue for the city and decrease dependence on property tax. • Continue to work to restore city hall. • Develop a plan to utilize the railroad tracks should the situation arise. This potential resource has great potential for Saluda’s long-term economic viability.

Living” in October 1990. He received his N. C. Contractor’s License (1971) and N.C. Real Estate license (1992). Morgan was on the Saluda zoning board for three years. He is presently concluding his second term on the city’s board of commissioners. He has been the owner of a retail business - Somewhere In Time on Main Street in Saluda. Most recently he and his family re-opened the historic M.A. Pace General Store. “By being a business owner on Main Street I hear and understand the daily concerns of the local citizens,” Morgan said. “I feel that by being on city council I have made a difference to preserve the Saluda that I know and love for future generations.”

John Morgan: While I have addressed water and taxes elsewhere in my responses, I think an additional issue Saluda needs to address is the development of a long-range growth plan. We need to look within the city and determine where commercial and residential growth should take place and in what form. We also need to look outside the city limits and identify where growth is likely to occur. The construction of the new water line down Howard Gap will open up possibilities that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist three years ago. I support the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move toward ridgeline protection but this must be compatible with the future needs of Saluda. The Saluda Planning Board should play a significant role here. I

the historic structure? Lynn Cass: City Hall will have to be restored, but it will take some creative thinkers to get it done. We have an architect volunteer who is willing to draw an interior plan, which could include a small museum for Saluda. Grants are available for museums. We have local builders and other volunteers who would be willing to donate time for carpentry and painting. This could be a city project for everyone to get involved in, and a building we would be proud of. Smaller towns than Saluda, for example, Hayesville, have restored their municipal buildings without going into great debt. We need to cast our net wider in asking for help. Grants aren’t as easy to come by as they were in former years, so we would have to work harder to get it done. But it can

be done. John Morgan: One of my priorities has been and continues to be restoration of our city hall. It is the centerpiece in defining the character of our downtown business district. I did not support the acquisition of a new city hall because I thought it was financially impractical for a town our size. Earlier in my current term as commissioner, I nominated and asked our board of commissioners to confirm members to a city hall restoration committee. We have since had a number of community members come forward and spark interest in seeing this project put in motion. Currently we are looking at restoring the building in stages. As a board we have placed money in the budget to service any debt we may incur on this project until additional funding through grants and donations can be secured.

Leon Morgan: I would like to see city hall restored to its origi-

nal beauty without the cost being footed by the taxpayers. I think there are grants available and we need to pursue this avenue. We presently have received estimates on repairing the roof, sod, masonry and windows. We have set aside $10,000 in this year’s budget toward servicing the loan to make those repairs. 4. All small towns are seeing significant decreases in state revenues as a result of the economic downturns of the past several years. How do you plan to overcome those shortfalls in revenues in the future? Lynn Cass: Again, day-trippers and over-nighters are still out there, and we have the perfect place for people to visit. We should capitalize on how great this small town is, by trying harder to attract tourists and promoting Saluda. Next, we will have to look very carefully at our city budget to see where cuts could be made, if necessary.

Wednesday, October 19, 2011

John Morgan: The most expedient thing to do is examine areas of possible savings in the budget. This has been an ongoing process. We obviously need to look to increasing revenues without increasing property taxes. One way that can be accomplished is to increase the population base and spread out costs. This takes time and needs to be done deliberately. I would also like to pursue a different tact. If the state is not in a position to assist communities financially they can at least provide a means where communities can help themselves. In Saluda’s case, we have a very robust tourist trade. If the state would grant us the power to levy a hospitality tax on prepared food at our restaurants we could use it to make a significant offset to our dependence on property taxes. This is working successfully in Landrum.

Leon Morgan: We need to (Continued on page 9)

have a strong joint partnership with the county, Town of Columbus and Town of Tryon on economic development with a strong unity for all of Polk County. We cannot wait for the future to come to us; we have to plan for the future when it arrives. 5. Polk County and the towns have attempted during the past year to meet jointly on common issues. How do you feel about partnering with the county, Columbus and Tryon? What are your feelings about partnering with Polk County, Columbus and Tryon on a joint water system for the future? Lynn Cass: I am a big believer in partnerships, and a Polk County Water Authority would benefit all three towns and the county. Our water rates are very high, and we need to see if we can purchase water within the county to help

our rates go down. We should look at compatible planning and zoning ordinances that could be enforced throughout the county. Although we receive and benefit from a number of services from the county, I want to look for further opportunities for cooperation and funding. We need to preserve the rural character of Polk County, and a greater sense of community is being realized by the help of the Mill Spring Agricultural Center in coordinating tailgate markets throughout the county. We should spend local and eat local. John Morgan: I am very happy to see a continuing improvement in cooperation between Saluda, Tryon, Columbus and the county on issues of common interest. It is going to take a joint effort within the county to attract and promote the kind of disciplined economic growth we need going forward. Partnering can have substantial cost benefits in many areas, such as sharing assets, and reduced duplication

Saluda candidate Q&A Oct. 30 The City of Saluda will hold a question-and-answer session Sunday, Oct. 30 for candidates running for Saluda Board of Commissioners. The event will be held at 3 p.m. in the Saluda Center, 64 Greenville Street. Community members who attend will have the opportunity to ask questions directly from the floor about town issues. Candidates will have the chance for rebutle and will be allowed to ask questions of their fellow candidates. After the Q&A session, there will be a short social time for residents to get to know the candidates. Those running for the offices include two incumbents, Leon Morgan and John Morgan (no relation), and Lynn Cass.

in services. Partnering in a water system also makes sense and we are already doing this to some extent with interconnecting the cities/towns water systems. However, for the foreseeable future I think each city/town should maintain control and responsibility for their respective system while working together to lower cost and assure a dependable quality water supply.

Leon Morgan: I have attended joint meetings with Polk County, Town of Columbus and Town of Tryon concerning water and have been pleased with the results. Today we have a waterline connecting the three towns. When the common goals benefit the county, Columbus, Tryon and Saluda, then being partners will be good for all of us.

Tryon-based Gingerthistle performs in Flat Rock Oct. 23 The group Gingerthistle, consisting of husband-and-wife team Ben Seymour and Becky Cleland from Tryon, will perform at St. John in the Wilderness on Sunday, Oct. 23. The concert will begin at 4 p.m. in the church, located at 1905 Greenville Highway in Flat Rock, N.C. Employing a capella and instrumental approaches, primarily Appalachian mountain dulcimer, banjo, bones and acoustic guitar, Gingerthistle traces musical threads of traditional folk music from the Blue Ridge mountains back to their Celtic roots. The two have been performing since 1980 and have produced five recordings. The first recording is of vocal and instrumental Celtic music. The second CD is a collection of traditional Appalachian music. Gingerthistle is joined by Ben’s brother, Wayne, on its third recording of traditional hymns played on dulcimers and guitars. The group’s 2005 CD is a recording of a live performance given at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland. Seymour’s new CD, titled “Tis Himself,” includes a wide variety of musical genres. “Many people have asked where the name Gingerthistle came from,” says Cleland. “Many years ago, when Ben and I felt ready to share our music with the public, we tried at

length, with no luck, to come up with a name that fit and inspired us both. So I sat down one day and began to write combinations of words that sounded nice and had positive connotations. When I tried ginger and thistle together, I liked the combination very much, the soft sound of the spoken words suggests the trickling of a brook, or a whispering breeze bearing, perhaps, a hint of wildflowers. So Gingerthistle we became. Ginger, a country spice, and thistle, a country flower, worthy symbols of the folk music we love.” The couple has performed at many festivals and events in North and South Carolina, as well as in other states in the southeast. Each October they play period music at Walnut Grove Plantation in Roebuck, S.C. Seymour has been building dulcimers since 1994 and he has added bouzoukis, psalteries, harps and other custom instruments to his portfolio. He also has repaired many types of acoustic instruments, including those of various ethnic backgrounds, such as balalaikas and domras. Offerings will be accepted at the door. For further information, contact the church office of St. John in the Wilderness at 828-693-9783 or Bettie Orr at 828-698-2357. – article submitted by Bettie Orr

She was born in Orlando, Fla., on March 27, 1930. “My life has been enriched by so many different people, cultures and backgrounds. In many of my friendships over the years, our love for Christ has kept us together with a strong bond.” “To be honest, open, and courageous… to be thankful for each day… to live each moment to the fullest and take nothing for granted… experiencing love and relationships with God and people are the most important things in life!” Charlotte graduated from Hampden Dubose Academy, Orlando Junior College and Stetson University (1945-53). From 1953-58 she was a shortterm missionary in Mozambique, Africa under the auspices of the Methodist Mission Board. She was an elementary school teacher in Winter Park, Fla.; Dallas, Texas and Saluda. On March 1, 1980, she married Colonel Larry Brady of Saluda in the First United Methodist Church of Orlando. In 2010, Charlotte moved to Carolina Village, a retirement community in Hendersonville, N.C. Charlotte had a full and wondrous life journey.
