Polk Central’s ‘Do Something Good’ project by Samantha Hurst
Harmon Field has received a Polk County Community Foundation Unrestricted Fund grant to create a master tree plan at the park, and officials are seeking public input. A meeting will be held Wednesday, Jan. 11 from 121:30 p.m. at the Harmon Field cabin. A light lunch will be served. If you plan to attend, officials ask that you RSVP before Friday, Jan. 6.
Polk Central Principal Dottie Kinlaw once thought $40 couldn’t go very far. This year, however, staff showed her exactly how far it could stretch when the school
gave eight teams of staff members $40 to “Do Something Good” in the community. “It just amazed me how large they [the school’s staff] made what I thought was a small amount,” Kinlaw said. “We are
blessed to be able to do this and really be able to celebrate the true Christmas spirit.” Counselor Susan Howell said the school divided up the money (Continued on page 3)

council members or Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre as to why the council denied the petition. Columbus held a public hearing in November at which several residents of Ashley Meadows spoke and said they can no longer afford the water rates Columbus charges for customers outside town limits. The town has lower water and sewer rates for customers inside town limits than for those outside the town.

attention. “There were so many places that we could have fulfilled a need but our group wanted to keep our project within our school family,” Carroll said. So the team purchased items for the family of a first grader
Ashley Meadows Property Manager April Lathan attended last week’s meeting and said she was there again to plead with council to annex the property so they can reduce utility bills for residents. The only discussion that occurred during last week’s meeting was town manager Jonathan Kanipe saying he was mistaken that the property was contiguous to the town. Ashley Meadows is contiguous to the Burrell property, which was a satellite, or non-contiguous annexation. Town attorney
Bailey Nager said in order to be a contiguous annexation the property must connect to the main portion of the town. The town would have gained revenues by annexing Ashley Meadows and added approximately 115 residents. The development would have paid town taxes if it had been annexed, which were estimated at $7,025 annually. The town would have lost money in its water and sewer department by offering lower inside rates, but including state revenues for the increased population, the
town’s net gain was estimated at approximately $12,000 per year. Columbus has also denied two annexation requests from the restaurant Giardini Trattoria and Catering Co., which is located along Hwy. 108 between Columbus and Mill Spring. Some town council members have said in the past that Columbus residents say they do not want the town to grow and that’s their reason for denying voluntary annexation requests.
whose parents and three siblings are currently homeless. “The project made me realize, especially in this community, there is a far greater need than we often know,” Carroll said. Another team baked cakes for workers at the central office and the system’s bus garage and yet another team purchased 22 mattress covers for PATH homeless
shelter. Team eight even brought some of their students into the mix of the project. They, along with a group of fourth graders, dug their hands into a dog treat recipe and made batch after batch of cookies for the dogs at the Foothills Humane Society. On Friday, Dec. 16 the staff did celebrate the season with a
small drop-in reception where they all got the chance to view project boards with photos and typed stories about what each team did with its money. “Our gifts to each other are the stories that we now get to share about our projects,” Howell said. “These gifts were so much better than anything we could have bought each other.”

New traffic light pattern in Columbus Recently, the Department of Transportation (DOT) fulfilled a request by the Town of Columbus to study and, if necessary, change the traffic light pattern at the intersection of Mills and Walker streets. The previous traffic light pattern severely limited the number of vehicles turning left out of Walker Street onto Mills Street. Typically, only two to three vehicles were able to turn left through the intersection at a given interval, resulting in further back-ups down Walker Street. The new pattern allows for dedicated movement coming from only one direction. When traffic is stopped at a red light on Mills Street, only one cross road – either Houston Road or Walker Street – will be able to move through the intersection. There is a new dedicated left turn light at the intersection, and those traveling left from Walker Street onto Mills Street will now be able to get through the light more easily and often once it changes. These changes should reduce back-ups on both Houston and Walker Street and result in a more continuous flow of traffic through the intersection. Please contact Columbus Town Hall if you have any questions regarding this new pattern. – article submitted by Columbus Manager Jonathan Kanipe

Rufous Hummingbirds; Rare winter visitors here in WNC Hummingbirds are not the usual birding fare during the winter months, but with more people leaving their feeders up and with greater observer knowledge, it is now not uncommon to have wintering hummers at many locations throughout the Carolinas. The majority of the Rubythroated Humby Simon mingbirds leave Thompson the southeastern United States by the middle of October, and any hummingbird seen after that date is well worth studying in detail. Most of these laggards are still Ruby-throats, but there is a very good chance of a Rufous Hummingbird that has strayed far from its normal migration path through the western states. Contrary to popular belief, leaving hummingbird feeders up beyond the middle of October is not detrimental to these birds, as the majority of the population will continue their normal migration patterns despite this new food source. These winter feeders may indeed help those late and/or sick birds by extending the available food source, thus enabling the birds to either add more fuel to continue on their southbound journey or to
The Bird Box
spend the winter near a wellstocked feeder. The most common wintering hummingbird is the Rufous, probably the hardiest of all the northern and western hummingbirds. They breed from northern California to southern Alaska and winter in central Mexico. Most of the individuals overwintering in the Carolinas seem to be young birds and it was originally thought that their inexperience with migration may indeed explain why they seem to be appearing with ever increasing frequency in our area. However, additional research has proved that, rather than a very few vagrant hummers present at scattered feeders, there is a population of wandering birds throughout the southeast. It is from this pool of individuals that many more species are being reported in our area. Another interesting note is that several individuals seem to be returning to their out-of-range winter homes in subsequent years. Adult male Rufous Hummingbirds are very easy to identify as they are a rich orangebrown in coloration. Immature birds are harder, but the easiest
Above is a picture of a Rufous Hummingbird, taken in Asheville last month. (photo submitted by Simon Thompson)
way to distinguish them from the more common Ruby-throat is to examine the bird closely. Rufous Hummingbirds tend to show browner flanks and brown webs to the tail feathers – a fairly easy feature to see as they feed around the feeder. This winter is looking to be an excellent one for stray hummers from the west as there have already been several Rufous reported, as well as a male Allen’s Hummingbird that has been visiting a feeder in Hickory for the last month. So, the bottom line is, if you see a hummingbird buzzing around your winter flowers, you have not been having too much
winter spirit, and you may indeed have a hummingbird wintering in your area. Put up your feeder and wait to see if the bird comes back. If it does, please call me at the Ventures office on 828253-4247. Simon Thompson has lived in WNC for the past 16 years. He owns and operates his own birding tour company, Ventures Birding Tours. WWW.birdventures.com 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
Polk library replaces existing public computers, adds three new stations Earlier this month, the Polk County Public Library (PCPL) replaced all of the public computers and added three new workstations. The Columbus computer lab now houses 16 upgraded computers. In July, the PCPL was awarded a $19,000 grant to be used for upgrading the computer lab in Columbus. The PCPL received one of the 112 competitive grants awarded to North Carolina libraries from this year’s federal allotment of $4,160,471. The Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant program administered by the State Library
of North Carolina funds projects across the state that help libraries deliver learning opportunities for a lifetime, support libraries in their mission to provide cost-effective access to the Internet and to information expertise, and make library resources more accessible to all users. As part of the grant, the PCPL will create two “express stations,” which will be standing Internet access points for checking emails, printing boarding passes and other quick tasks. The express stations are slated for installation early Spring 2012. The staff
has a full year to fulfill all grant requirements, but implemented the purchase and scheduled the installation as fast as possible to give patrons a portal to emerging technologies and to alleviate waiting times. LSTA funds awarded by the State Library of North Carolina are made possible through funding from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Cultural
Resources. These federal funds are investments that help libraries deliver relevant and up-to-date services for their communities. The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 122,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The institute’s mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas. Through the LSTA Grants to States program IMLS provides (Continued on page 9)

Historic Jacksons Grove Church announces seasonal services The members and pastor of Jacksons Grove Church of Landrum are pleased to present several special services in observance of the Christmas event. Because of its popularity, the traditional Christmas Eve candlelight service will be offered twice this year, one at 5 p.m. and the other at 8 p.m. Holy Communion will be celebrated at each of these services. In addition to these services, the church will also offer “A Service of the Longest Night” that will be held on the afternoon of Dec. 22 at 4 p.m. This date is the 2011 winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. It is the 24-hour period during the year with the most hours of darkness in our part of the world. This service acknowledges the darkness of the season. It will address the battle waged in many people’s lives and in area communities – against depression, anxiety, loss,

Workshops taught by (left to right) Stephanie Kompathoum, Jim Cullen and William Jameson will be offered starting Jan. 7. (photos submitted)
TPS holds three artist workshops in January Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS) will offer three special offerings of workshops in three different medias in the TPS new studio space located at 26 Maple Street in Tryon. Leading off the year is Stephanie Kompathoum, a paper maker from Hendersonville, N.C., who will teach pulp painting on Saturday, Jan. 7 from 1-6 p.m. Students will learn to make paper pulp in various colors and textures and then apply it to a background surface to create a two-dimensional painting with interesting abstract qualities that can be seen as a landscape or as a figurative painting with soft edges and muted colors. This technique can be combined with paint and other collage materials for a most unusual result. In the ceramic sculptural area, Jim Cullen will conduct a twopart workshop on Saturday, Jan. 14 entitled “Ways with Clay… Materials and Techniques.” The
objects made during the workshop will be fired in the time between the first and second session so that a glaze firing can be done to complete the projects on Saturday, Jan. 28. This will be a half-day session to evaluate the finished pieces and take them home. Last year, Cullen presented an informative session on glazing to the Art, Wine and Cheese audience and many of the textural effects shown there will be used in this workshop. Another intensive painting workshop will be conducted by well-known Saluda painter William Jameson, who has proven to be one of TPS’s favorite instructors. The dates of the workshop are Thursday, Jan. 19 through Saturday, Jan. 21. The workshop will meet from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. This three-day offering is open to all TPS members first and then if there are openings, non-members may apply. This
workshop will be conducted at Jameson’s studio in Saluda and will feature personalized instruction to each participant. The media for this workshop can be oil or acrylic and the subject stressed will be primarily landscape, including winter scenes and others. TPS recommends interested students sign up soon for this one as it has limited enrollment. TPS will also offer ongoing classes in ceramic sculpture, oil painting and other media and figure drawing studios. For information about classes and workshops and to register, please contact Christine Mariotti at 828-859-8392 or at cmariotti@ windstream.net. Information about classes and workshops can also be found in the class notebook located in the gallery. The TPS gallery is open Thursdays through Saturdays, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m. – article submitted by Christine Mariotti
