Historic Saluda Committee launches new website

Site features people, places of historic town On Christmas Day, 2011, the Historic Saluda Committee launched its new website at www.historicsaluda.org. The committee created the website to feature the people and places of historic Saluda, specifically the compilation of oral histories of Saluda’s citizens. Sales from the oral history film documentary, “Home, Hearth and History: Stories of Old Saluda,” re-

leased in the spring of 2011, helped to finance the creation of the website. The website features film snippets from the DVD and never-before-seen footage of the interviews conducted during the making of the DVD. Since the oral history project is ongoing, Top: One of the historical photos of Saluda on the new more interviews have been conducted website launched by the Historic Saluda Committee.

The 2NC Mounted Infantry, along with elements of the Charlotte Marines, will be camping at Harmon Field from Jan. 21 through Jan. 23. This is an instructional time for the soldiers, covering topics of camp life, military maneuvers and strategy, firing drills, and in all likelihood, active skirmishing with opposing forces. The public is invited to view all aspects of the weekend at no charge.

since the documentary was completed and these are being archived on the website, as well. The site will also archive hundreds of old and new photographs, provide information about the progress on the restoration of Saluda City Hall, feature information about the annual Historic Tour of Homes and provide information about Saluda’s history, the railroad, historic homes and inns and pictures of Saluda’s people from the past and present. The committee said this is designed as a living website that will grow as the years go by while continuing to archive the information collected. The DVD “Home, Hearth and History: Stories of Old Saluda” is now available for sale and can be purchased at local retailers in Saluda or on-line at the Saluda Mercantile at saludalifestyles.com or by accessing the

website at historicsaluda.org. The Historic Saluda Committee was formed by a group of concerned citizens who wished to preserve the historical integrity of the town. The grassroots effort spawned interest from Saluda City officials. In June 2010, the Saluda city commissioners voted to make the committee an advisory committee to the city and committee members were appointed. Lynn Cass was appointed chair and Cindy Stephenson Tuttle was appointed co-chair. Other committee members include Gloria Testerman, Jack Coates, Martha Ashley, Charlene Pace and Greaton Sellers. The first official meeting of the committee was held July 9, 2010. Major projects of the committee include the oral history project and restoration of Saluda City Hall.

St. Luke’s blood drive today Many Americans nationwide have been donating blood to ensure a sustained and secure blood supply for everyone. Together with The Blood Connection, these donors are ensuring that the safest possible blood is readily available whenever and wherever needed, according to organizers. “We all expect blood to be there for us, but barely a fraction of those who can give do,” organizers said. “Yet sooner or later, virtually all of us will face a time of great vulnerability

in which we will need blood. And that time is all too often unexpected.” St. Luke’s Hospital is helping make sure that blood is available by sponsoring a blood drive with The Blood Connection on Thursday, Jan. 5, from 10 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Call 828-894-2408 to schedule a time convenient for you. Free pizza will be served, and donors can choose to receive a free T-shirt or movie tickets. – article submitted by Jennifer Wilson

because no notice was given. According to town attorney Bailey Nager, the town can hold an emergency meeting as long as everyone on council is aware of the meeting. No explanation was given as to what the emergency was that caused the meeting to be called. Attending the meeting were Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples and council members Miller and George Baker. Baker was sworn into office in December, replacing former councilman Austin Chapman, who chose not to seek re-election last year. Councilmen Doug Arbogast and Wim Woody were not present at the emergency meeting, according to Nager. Hembree has been with the town for three years.

How many times do you and I ask that question? Whether we are waking in the middle of the night, traveling around the world or worrying about making an appointment, time matters. Time passes, sometimes slowly, sometimes more quickly than we would like. For many of us the holiday season is like a blur. Sometimes we lose track of time. Sometimes we waste it. Sometimes time is an incredible gift. Time is a good topic for reflection in the New

Year. What has happened in your life during the last year? What lies ahead? The Hebrew word for time (Ayth) is more focused than our English word. Time in the Hebrew extends beyond our usual categories of “past,” “present” and “future.” It refers to the instant or actual duration during which something occurs. That is why the writer of Ecclesiastes can write: For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven (Continued on page 9)

House of Flags seeks volunteers for upstairs remodeling project The House of Flags Museum is developing its plans to complete the remodeling of the museum’s upstairs space, which will include a presentation room, library and conference room. The Timken, Wal-Mart and Duke Energy Foundations plus the Polk County Community Foundation, have provided grant money for the project. House of Flags officials said they have cost estimates from the major contractors who can begin work in January: new windows, partition walls, ceilings, insulation, electrical, wheel chair lift, furnace and air conditioning. However, some costs need to be shaved from the overall project to get it completed this year, according to the House of Flags. This is where local volunteers have been helpful in the past, working on the ground floor project. If you are able to volunteer your time as a rough or finish carpenter, painter, dry wall installer/finisher, oak flooring repair/ restorer, electrician or a skilled (or semi-skilled) helper, House of Flags officials would like to hear

from you. You can email Robert Williamson at flagmuseum@ gmail.com, indicating what skills you have and about how many hours you would be willing to con-

tribute in the first quarter of 2012. Your financial support would also be greatly appreciated, museum officials said. House of Flags is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organiza-

tion, so your donations will most likely be tax deductible (consult your tax professional). – article submitted by Robert Williamson

Book reviews, collection offering different perspectives on death “The American Book of Dying – Lessons in Healing Spiritual Pain,” “The Hospice Movement – A Better Way of Caring for the Dying” and “How We Die – Reflections on Life’s Final Chapter” are in the collection of the Lanier Library. Each book deals with death from a different perspective. “The American Book of Dying – Lessons in Healing Spiritual Pain,” by Richard F. Groves and Henriette Anne Klauser, is a helpful book if you have someone in your life who is “approaching their final weeks or days.” The authors outline how you can become a “soul friend” to someone who is dying. They write of different people who died and how friends and fam-

ily members helped them to die peacefully. At the end of the book is a “too chest” of techniques and resources that can be of use in this endeavor. “Dying, like birthing, is a process requiring assistance,” according to Sandol Stoddard, author of “The Hospice Movement – A Better Way of Caring for the Dying.” In this book, Stoddard gives the early history of the hospice movement and then writes of people he interviewed in various Hospice Houses. One woman describes her experience of feeling as it she’d arrived at a place where people were actually

waiting for her to come. In the appendix of Stoddard’s book is a list of medications for common symptoms. Sherwin B. Nuland is the author of “How We Die – Reflections on Life’s Final Chapter.” This book offers a description of various life-ending diseases and what to expect from our body if we are afflicted with one. He discusses how some people die of “old age,” others of cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. He says he wrote the book with hopes that if we become more familiar with how

we die, then perhaps death will “become less frightening, and perhaps those decisions that must be made can be sought out in an atmosphere less charged with half-knowledge, anxiety and unjustified expectations.” These are just a few of the books that are written on the topic of death. If you are interested in reading any of these books, you can find them at the Lanier Library, which is located at 72 Chestnut Street in Tryon. The library is open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. and from 1-4 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, call 828-859-9535 or visit www. lanierlib.org.

The new name reflects the mission of a broad-based group of community leaders, health professionals and concerned community members working together to plan and implement effective strategies to promote wellness in our community.

“Polk Fit, Fresh and Friendly” recognizes that wellness is more than absence of disease and requires more than access to medical care.
