routine checkpoint.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) took over the case with federal agents determining that the money tested positive for cocaine.

Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield said at the time that the seizure is a perfect example of why the Columbus Police Department is so active with the governor’s highway safety program. He said at some point, all criminals go mobile and the chances of catching criminals are much greater from a vehicle stop than from actually catching them in the act.

Beddingfield told council last week that the department has been to several trainings on appropriate uses and guidelines for the seizure money. Drug seizure money can only be used on certain spending, such as equipment to increase drug seizure activity within the department. Departments cannot use drug seizure money for any equipment already budgeted.

Beddingfield said the department’s first priority is to get the vehicle fleet in good condition.

He said the purchase of the patrol car council approved will put the

character of its surroundings.

The Twin Lakes tract – named for its two large ponds – was purchased by James T. and Helen Wilkes in the late 1950s. For more than 60 years, the Wilkes family generously made it available to the Saluda community for fishing, swimming and picnicking. The park has since been a popular community gathering spot, hosting weddings, baptisms and family reunions.

Current owners James T. Wilkes III, of Sarasota, Fla. and William Wilkes, of Hendersonville – children of the late Mr. and Mrs. Wilkes—and Holly Wilkes of Saluda, have continued to manage Twin Lakes as a

department in good shape.

Beddingfield said the next priority is to purchase rifles for officers, estimated at approximately $8,500 and the third priority is training.

Beddingfield said his officers want to utilize training to allow the department to get more seizure money.

“We want to fund our own way,” Beddingfield said. “We don’t want to burden the citizens with tax increases. Instead of spending citizens’ money, I’d much rather spend criminals’ money.”

The Columbus Police Department is also awaiting another $9,000 from a separate drug seizure.

Drug seizure money has to be sent to the state or federal government and the department receives a percentage of the money back.

In last year’s seizure of $159,785, the federal government kept a portion and also gives other departments who helped Columbus smaller portions. The Polk County Sheriff’s Office, the Tryon Police Department and departments from Iredell and Lincoln Counties will also receive small portions of the seizure.

“It’s really going to help us for several years to come do things we need to do,” Beddingfield said. community park. To ensure the park would be available to Saludans forever, the trio decided to donate the land to SCLT, which will own and manage it as a public park in perpetuity.

SCLT partnered with CMLC, which placed a conservation easement on the parklands to restrict future development. In addition to ensuring the perpetuity of the park, the easement preserves the scenic forest surrounding the lakes, as well as safeguarding the water quality of the lakes and a tributary of the Green River.

“Generations of Saluda residents have reveled in the beauty and fun atmosphere at Twin Lakes – long made generously available by the Wilkes family.

Bardos speaks about life and work at Landrum Library, Aug. 21 Artist and writer Bonnie Bardos will speak about her life and work at the Lanier Library on Tuesday, Aug. 21 at noon. The program is free and everyone is welcome.

Well known to readers of the Tryon Daily Bulletin for her regular columns on happenings in Saluda, Bardos is also a significant presence in the local art scene, with works on display at several galleries in the area.

She has received recognition for her art in one of the U.S.’ most important venues, Santa Fe, N.M., and her work has also been exhibited widely in North and South Carolina. Her short stories and poetry have been published in various literary publications, including ‘Counterpoint,’ and

she also received recognition for her poetry in the Sidney Lanier Poetry Competition, sponsored by the Lanier Library.

Born in Ketchikan Island, Alaska, Bardos grew up in North Carolina and attended Wingate University. She has studied pen and ink drawing, watercolor and oil painting with numerous notable artists including Libby Johnson at the Arrowmont Craft School in Gatlinburg, Va., and Mike Stiler on Monhegan Island, Me. Her work in various media is influenced by the natural world, with recurring images of landscapes, women, and birds, and wider cultural influences, from Asian poetry to Jungian symbolism. Describing her creative

process, she says “I have come to realize over the stretching of years that the art I create: paintings, writings, or sculpture are all related by an underlying theme with common threads throughout the warp and weave.

Whatever it is comes from the moment from within my deepest being. At the time, I may not understand why I’m drawn to create a particular thing, paint a particular piece. Yet, as time passes, I always do come to comprehend.”

The program is part of the Lanier Library’s Brown Bag Lunch series, which occurs on the third Tuesday of each month.

Because of the timing, at noon, the audience is invited to bring a bag lunch to enjoy during the

Bonnie Bardos (photo submitted)

Tryon Youth Center’s mission: providing a safe place for community youth Tryon Youth Center’s mission is to be an asset to the community by providing a safe place for youth to gather for social events and club meetings as well as assisting area schools in raising funds for PTA sponsored activities and organized sports and to serve the community at large by being available for meetings and private adult parties.

Historically, Tryon Youth Center has served youth-meeting its original goals of service to youth in ways, which of necessity have changed with the times. At its

inception Tryon Youth Center primarily served youth, but over the years the organization has gradually become more community oriented and now serves both youth and adults.

Through its programs and activities, Tryon Youth Center has endeavored to serve the needs of our youth as they progressed through childhood and young adulthood, encouraging them as they made decisions affecting their present and their future and cooperating with parents, schools,

churches and other community based organizations. These goals have been accomplished through Tryon Youth Center’s being a meeting place for the summer youth theatre production which is now done in cooperation with Tryon Little Theatre, helping local schools raise money through fundraisers and awarding a number of scholarships to high school graduates planning for higher education.

Area adults are served by the availability of Tryon Youth Center’s facility for activities.

Some of these are fundraisers for Livestrong and Relay for Life for the battle against cancer, providing a space for the Unitarian Fellowship, a rehearsal space for Tryon Little Theatre, a space for Foothills Duplicate Bridge and private parties.

The mistrain everyone and get at least two take here is not staying focused and other people involved who can help looking at where your constituents out at any time. are in the social media realm.

Use a coach to help you started your free Twitter account develop your first strategy. I believe with no followers to date. In my in the nonprofit sector we do not use opinion this is not a valuable use of

a staff or volunteers time to keep this up to date if no one is looking at it.

It is simply not measurable.

The sixth step is to remain present online. One of the most common mistakes nonprofit organizations make when jumping into social media is they go full bore all the time and wear out the staff and volunteers that are in charge and worse burn out the followers.

Remember to use social media in an ebb and flow or bursty manner.

You do not have to post, tweet, etc every day or every minute of the day.

The seventh and final step is to experiment with micro-donation campaigns. This is a tool that I would suggest every nonprofit organization use. It is the same basis as face-toface fundraising. You don’t know until you ask. And we all know the number one reason why a donor does not give to a nonprofit – because they were not asked.

In the next article we will continue discussing the steps for getting started using social media for your nonprofit.

As the nonprofit leadership column continues discussing marketing for nonprofits, the next several articles will focus on the social media marketing strategy/plan.

In the previous articles we have learned a little about social media and what it is used for. In this article we are doing to discuss the steps involved in taking it from plan to action.

The first step is to have a strategy to execute against. This strategy will be the decision you have made as an organization or committee on which primary use you are going to use the social media tools for and the tools selected. Remember the top uses are fundraising, recruiting volunteers and spreading your message.

The second step is to start by focusing the start of the social media campaign around a specific program, special event or initiative (i.e. fundraising or advocacy). This will allow you to build an engagement for the new social media tools.

In doing this make sure that on every e-mail and printed item that

On July 30, John Vining of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension for Polk County helped Pam Torlina of the Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and David Campbell, affiliated with the UNCC Herbarium housed at the Dr. James F. Matthews Center for Biodiversity Studies, locate a rare habitat in Polk County.

The rare habitat contained native plant species associated with a coastal plain forest such as Smilax laurifolia (Laurel Greenbrier), Magnolia virginiana (Sweetbay) (Polk County is the farthest known western location for this native species), and Nyssa biflora (Swamp Tupelo), rare species to find in the upper piedmont of North Carolina.

Polk County is unique; it is anomalous in the state and there are several species that have been found here and nowhere else in North Carolina.

It is anticipated that there will be new species found in the county that have never before been described in Polk County.

PAC hopes to work with David Campbell on a project to inventory the biodiversity of the county. The project would not only enable the documentation
