Saluda chosen for Small Town Main Street by Barbara Tilly

The City of Saluda heard recently that it has been selected as one of five new communities participating in the N.C. Small Town Main Street program.

Anglers take note: Effective Aug. 1, the minimum length limit for largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass in most Western North Carolina waters became 14 inches instead of the previous 12-inch limit. The daily creel limit, which is five black bass in any combination with two under the minimum length limit, will remain in effect. For more information, check the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission website at www.ncwildlife.org.

Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:

had been told towns are often not selected the first time they apply,” said Saluda Commissioner Lynn Cass. “With our historic registered downtown, I thought Saluda was a good fit for the program, and I think it will help us make the town the best it can be.” Operated by the state’s Office of Urban Development, the Small Town Main Street program provides downtown revitalization assistance to selected smaller towns (under 7,500 in population) that lack the resources to pursue the N.C. Main Street program. The program began in eastern North Carolina in 2003 and was expanded to include the entire state in 2007. “Being selected for the Small Town Main Street program gives us an opportunity to look at the best ways to help our town and its businesses thrive,” said Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden. Participating communities receive two years of concentrated, monthly on-site technical services from Small Town Main Street staff. Following the initial twoyear period, communities may

Sheriff Boyce Carswell. The department has maintained the program since and currently has a minimum of about 100 residents participating at any given time. “It’s not really a lifesaving program, but it is a man down program. If someone falls and can’t help themselves back up – this makes sure they don’t lie there for days without anyone knowing,” Pack said. “More than anything it’s a reassurance for a lot of people who don’t have family nearby.” Pack said the system generates an automatic phone call to individuals listed and prompts them to push a certain number. If the person does not answer or pushes the wrong button,

choose to continue in the program, receiving more limited services on an as-needed basis. “With help from the program’s staff, we’ll look at all aspects of business in Saluda, including income streams, rents, street facades and characteristics unique to seasonal businesses,” Baisden said. “We’ll then map out a plan for improvements the town could make to promote financial health, especially in these challenging economic times.” Baisden said the city’s board of commissioners plans to pass an official resolution in support of participating in the program at its next regular meeting on Monday, Aug. 13. After that, he said, the first meeting will be scheduled with the Small Town Main Street staff to begin the planning process. Saluda is the second local town to be selected for the Small Town Main Street program. Tryon has been a participant since 2007. For more information about the Small Town Main Street program, visit www.nccommerce. com/MainStreet, or contact Liz Parham, director of the Office of Urban Development, at 919-5714900 or lparham@nccommerce. com.

the system calls them back in 15 minutes. If a similar situation occurs again, the program calls back for a third time. At this point, if there is no answer, an alert is sent to the sheriff’s department and a deputy makes a personal visit to the home. (Continued on page 5)

PAC participates in Spartanburg Water Paddle Fest On July 28, Spartanburg Water hosted the First Annual Paddle Fest at Lake Blalock Park. The event was held to connect the community to Spartanburg Water reservoirs and increase the stewardship of water resources. During the event, Spartanburg Water hosted two educational paddle tours, four kayak/canoe races and two beginner paddle classes. Spartanburg Water invited local organizations and businesses to set up booths at the event to show how they are contributing to the world of paddling and the environment. The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) was invited to attend, primarily because of its conservation efforts along the North Pacolet River, the headwaters to the water supply for Spartanburg, S.C. PAC volunteers provided participants with information about the importance of riparian buffers,

The day I arrived in Tryon more than 10 years ago I spent unpacking things in my rental house and the church office. About 6 p.m., still attired in my clerical collar, I made a foray to the IGA for bread and pimento cheese spread to make a sandwich for my solitary supper since Pam and Isaac were still in Tennessee, and in the course of my shopping I also picked up a bottle of Beringer’s Merlot. In the course of the next morning’s activities, somewhat to my surprise, I was greeted on three separate occasions by parishioners saying, “Well, Father, I hear you like Beringer’s Merlot.” I realized then that I was not in big-city anonymous Knoxville anymore!

Young entrepreneurs did their part to bring Morris home with a lemonade stand Saturday, July 21, outside The Village Book Shoppe in Tryon. The three sold lemonade, cookies and bookmarks, raising funds from townspeople and out-of-town visitors. The money was donated to the fund that will help pay Morris’ ransom. From left are Callie Dunn, daughter of Molly and Tim Dunn of Landrum; Abby Amato, daughter of Gina Malone and Chris Amato of Tryon, and Grace Ingham, daughter of Wendy Ingham and Bill Ingham of Tryon.
