Small Town Main Street program provides advice to Saluda leaders

by Mark Schmerling

Saluda received generally high marks for the town’s appearance and for businesses’ ability to attract clientele during a Feb. 19 presentation by a representative of the North Carolina Department of Commerce’s Small Town Main Street (STMS) program. “[Saluda has] a good thing going on,” said Sherry B. Adams, western North Carolina coordinator for STMS, “with very few vacancies.”

Adams complimented those in Saluda on a job well done.

For the 0.16-mile downtown, and the 1-mile radius, “You guys should really, in most categories represented, pat yourselves on the back.”

In 2012, officials of the NC Office of Urban Development designated Saluda as a North Carolina Small Town Main Street community. Last September, a (Continued on page 4)

team of Department of Commerce officials spent a day interviewing downtown stakeholders, from citizens to property and business owners, town officials and business and educational leaders.

In addition to Saluda’s approximately one-sixth-mile-long downtown Main Street, Adams pointed out the importance of the 1- and 5-mile radiuses from the downtown.

According to study results, the 5-mile radius has a demand of some $95 million in potential annual retail activity, but the current supply is about $24 million, meaning about 25 percent of potential demand is being met. The unmet demand is termed “retail leakage,” said Adams. Most of that, she explained, occurs in the 5-mile radius.

The good news from those figures is that demand is so heavy for such a small area; the 5-mile

“Tourism is important but it’s not enough to base a whole program on.”

-- Sherry B. Adams

radius contains some 9,000 residents. For instance, Adams, reported, restaurant “leakage is some $10 million annually, but she indicated that capturing some 20 percent of that amount would be very good.”

To boost retail income in various areas, Adams suggested using niche markets, including clothing, shoes, specialty foods and certain groceries to satisfy more potential demand. She also noted the $8.2 million loss in groceries is not enough to support a large supermarket. Adams’ advice was simple to retailers.

“Expand on what your offerings are, if you can,” she said.

Noting the oft-heard importance of “location, location, location,” Adams recommended that owners of new businesses should look for a “complementary clus-

ter,” or businesses that will attract clientele also interested in the new business’ products or services.

Survey results, said Adams, indicated that most potential clientele who shop outside of Saluda, do so in or near Hendersonville, where they find big box stores, more restaurants and other businesses the population of Saluda cannot support.

That’s where niche marketing can help, she said.

Another potential tool, Adams suggested to downtown retailers, is to stay open later in the evening to possibly accommodate residents who work.

On the other hand, Adams noted many drivers on Interstate 26 follow their curiosity and venture into the town to see what it’s like, and like what they see.

Friday, March 1, 2013

While tourism has increased steadily in western North Carolina, including Polk County and Saluda, Adams cautioned that a mix of businesses will contribute much more to the town’s success.

“Tourism is important,” she admitted, “but it’s not enough to base a whole . . . program on.”

Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden said Adams’ presentation provided good information.

“I think if a lot of the shop owners can utilize this information, they’ll grow their businesses,” Baisden said, agreeing for example that merchants could sell, for example, more grocery items.

“You can only sell so much wine and so much jelly,” said Baisden, agreeing with Adams that there’s more to success than catering to tourists.

Among the demographic groups Adams discussed was Generation X, comprised of individuals born from 1964 (Continued on page 6)

through 1981. As a group, Adams noted, they steer toward more functional products, preferring quality rather than prestige, and excellent value for their money.

Often that means wanting a connection to locally-produced food, and memorable experiences. Some 1,000 residents in the 5-mile radius are between the

ages of 15 and 44, said Adams.

She recommended business owners consider their needs.

Adams also suggested officials identify potential businesses to add to the current mix, and promote existing properties.

She also said Saluda should conduct an annual retail assessment, and determine how relevant the 2003 comprehensive plan is to today’s small town Main Street dynamics.

Wolverine Brown signs to play soccer with Brevard

by Samantha Hurst

Polk County High School senior Jordan Brown didn’t expect to sign his name to a college athletic scholarship but when the opportunity presented itself he was happy to do so.

“When they called me and said, ‘We might be able to offer you something,’ I was surprised,” Brown said of getting word from Brevard College that they would be able to offer him an athletic scholarship to play soccer. “I’ve always been a heavy baseball player but I’ve steadily improved as a soccer

player.”

Brown recently visited Brevard’s campus to take a tour and even play a pick-up game of soccer with some of the school’s current players. He also sat through an organic chemistry class.

“I like that small college feel. I like that the teachers can actually help you and you can have that strong teacher/student relationship,” Brown said.

Brown’s mother, Paula, said she too likes the atmosphere of Brevard’s campus.

“They have a lot to offer

including a family atmosphere.

I like knowing that he will be taken care of there,” she said.

Coach Lennox Charles said he thinks Brown has a lot to offer Brevard’s team as well.

“Most all coaches want someone who can keep up athletically and I believe Jordan can do that,” Charles said. “He’ll have to adjust to the speed of college soccer and improve tactically but his athleticism will serve them well regardless of what position they choose to put him in.”

Brown played forward for Polk County and wrapped up his

second season on varsity with the team making it into the first round of state playoffs as the Western Highland Conference’s No. 2 seed to face North Lincoln.

Polk lost to North Lincoln 3-0 and ended their season 7-12-2.

“I’m looking forward to how much more he is going to improve at the college level,” Charles said. “Some kids have all the ability but don’t see as much playing time because they aren’t willing to work. This team, and Jordan, especially, worked probably harder than most teams I’ve coached.”

• Pastyme

(continued from page 16)

began in the mid 1500s and is intended to nourish the spiritual life of the congregants. The service will begin with “A Prayer of King Henry VI” as introit.

The Preces and Responses is a 21st Century setting by William Buthod. The Magnificat and Nunc Dimitis is set by 16th Century composer, William Mundy.

Other service anthems will include “Absolon fili mi” written for men’s voices by Josquin Des Prez and Tomas Luis de Victoria’s “Judas Mercator Pessimus” for women’s voices.

The full ensemble will sing Robert Young’s “Out of the Deep Have I Called Unto Thee” and the moving “Funeral Ikos” by John Tavener.

Pastyme was formed in 1999 by a group of friends who enjoyed making music with each other.

While there have been some changes in membership, four of the original members remain.

The members of Pastyme are all

active in the music community of Asheville, singing with church choirs, the opera and musical theatre.

The group has also performed at numerous venues and churches in the Southeast, including the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC, May 2001, the Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta, October 2005 and April 2007, and the Echo Early Music Festival, 2009.

Pastyme, or passetyme, is the Middle English spelling of the word “pastime.” The following quote by King Henry VIII can be found on Pastyme’s website: “Pastyme with goode companye, I love and shall until I die.” More information about Pastyme may be found at pastyme.org The community is invited to both the service and dinner following, free of charge.

Antonio Rocha

Storyteller/mime travels to perform at Super Saturday If you have ever been in the presence of a master storyteller . . . or master mime . . . or master actor, then you know how you can get wrapped up and transported by the brilliance of his or her performance. At Super Saturday March 16, with Antonio Rocha, you get all three in one superb package.

Rocha’s (Brazilian, so pronounced “Ha’sha”) performances delight the smallest child to the very oldest adult. Routinely showered with superlatives, he is hailed as a warm stage presence, tremendous talent, magical, touching, delightful, tender and fierce, serious and hilarious as

the stories demand.

With a minimum of props, Rocha creates worlds for us to visit in our mind’s eye, worlds that become quite real and exciting to share.

Writes one critic, “He uses every tool at his disposal – his face, his voice, his body — in service of the tale to be told.”

Trained by Marcel Marceau and other movement greats, Antonio Rocha will perform at the Congregational Church at 9:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m.

PCHS athletic director Jeff Wilson addresses Rotary Polk County High School Athletic Director Jeff Wilson was the guest speaker at a recent meeting of the Rotary Club of Tryon. Wilson gave Rotarians an update on the status of various athletic programs at the high school as well as the school’s philosophy of how the athletic program in combination with a strong academic program is instrumental in the development of future leaders. Particularly impressive at Polk County High School is the large percentage of students involved in at least one athletic program. Following the presentation, there were many compliments from the Rotarians about the enthusiasm and hard work Wilson brings to his role as athletic director.

(continued from page 20)

that wasn't Bill's gentle way. But he'd patiently guide you, showing you a brush stroke or two that could change a piece, or get you smiling over stories from his days of being an art student: of learning about the Wyeths, New England, low-country South Carolina, his mother. It was because of his beloved mother that Bill became an artist: she encouraged him from childhood.

His love of gardening, plants, and nature went hand in hand with his love of the beautiful.

Antiques, flowers, Saluda and Jim were what mattered to him; as did his many adoring friends who would stop at Ryan & Boyle for a little chat with either Bill or Jim, or both.

You didn't leave without a hug, or a feeling you were loved.

Between the two of them, Saluda got a gift.

The day Bill passed away, I watched the winter sunset fade softly into pink and silver gray over the mountains: tears and sadness overcame me that he wouldn't be here to watch it too.

Suddenly the innate knowledge that he was somewhere painting that very sunset with a wry smile, brown eyes sparkling, paints at his side...I knew it would be alright, that he's close by in every sunset, every garden that blooms.

Employment resources for older job seekers Dear Savvy Senior, What resources can you recommend to help older job seekers?

I’m 62 and have been out of work for nearly a year now and need some help.

Looking For Work Dear Looking, While the U.S. job market has improved slightly over the past year or so, challenges persist for many older job seekers. Fortunately, there are a number of free online tools and in-person training centers scattered across the country today that can help you find employment.

Here’s what you should know.

Online resources If you have Internet access, there are a number of 50-and-older online employment networks that can help you connect with companies that are interested in hiring older workers.

Two of the best are workreimagined.org, a resource developed

by AARP that combines career advice, job listings and online discussion tied to LinkedIn’s professional networking platform.

And retirementjobs.com, which offers a job search engine that lists thousands of jobs nationwide from companies that are actively seeking workers over the age of 50.

It also provides job-seeking tips and advice, helps with resume writing and allows you to post your resume online for companies to find you.

Some other good 50-plus job seeking sites to try are workforce50.com, retiredbrains.com, retireeworkforce.com and encore. org a resource that helps older workers find meaningful work in the second half of life.

In-person help Another good place to get help finding a job is at a Career OneStop center. Sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor, these are free job resource centers that can

help you explore career options, search for jobs, find training, write a resume, prepare for an interview and much more.

There are around 3,000 of these centers located throughout the country. To find one near you, call 877-348-0502 or go to careeronestop.org.

Depending on your financial situation, another program that may help is the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP). Also sponsored by the Department of Labor, SCSEP offers access to training and part time job placements in a wide variety of community service positions such as day care centers, senior centers, governmental agencies, schools, hospitals, libraries and landscaping centers.

To qualify, participants must be over 55, unemployed and have poor employment prospects. To learn more or locate a program in your area visit www.doleta.gov/ seniors or call 877-872-5627.

Work at home If you’re interested in working at home, there are many opportunities depending on your skills, but be careful of rampant work-athome scams that offer big paydays without much effort.

Some of the more popular work-at-home jobs include “customer service agents” who fields calls from their employers’ customers and prospective customers – you don’t place telemarketing calls. Agents earn an average of $8 to $15 an hour and many also receive incentives and commission, too. To find these jobs see arise. com, alpineaccess.com, liveops. com and workingsolutions.com.

If you have good typing skills there are “transcriptionist” jobs that pay around $10 per hour for typing verbatim accounts of board meetings, presentations, conference calls, etc. Companies that hire transcriptionists are tigerfish.com, ubiqus.com and ctran.com.

And if you have a college de(Continued on page 23)

Painting by Jim Carson

Painting in the studio with Carson Saluda artist Jim Carson will offer a workshop titled, “Painting in the Studio” in Saluda, Thursday –Saturday, March 14-16.

The workshop will focus on simplifying shapes and applying paint quickly and confidently. There will also be an emphasis on color harmony, painterly marks, value, design and composition.

All this will be accomplished with a limited pallet of three colors, plus white, but students are welcome to bring different and/ or additional colors, if they prefer.

The workshop is open to all levels, from beginners to advanced.

Students will paint from photographs, and will learn how to create fresh and spontaneous paintings from photos. Carson

has hundreds of photographs, but students are welcome to bring their own. The class is limited to eleven, so there will be lots of one on one easel time.

Carson won first place in last year’s St. Simons Plein Air Festival Quick Paint, and has been juried in such prestigious plein air festivals as Easton Plein Air, Plein Air Richmond and Door County Plein Air. A detailed summary of the workshop, as well as a complete materials list, will be furnished after registration.

“How old is my house?” will be the subject of the first in a series of workshops.

Saluda is gearing up for another historic tour of homes, which will be held on Saturday afternoon, June 1.

In preparation of this Tour of Historic Homes, the Historic Saluda Committee is proud to announce a series of free workshops. It is open to anyone interested in old houses.

The series of three workshops will offer an opportunity to learn from professionals more about Historic Preservation.

The theme of the first workshop is “How Old Is My House” and will be held on Friday, March 8 upstairs at the Saluda Library at 10:30 a.m.

Anyone in Saluda or surrounding communities who is interested in learning how to research old houses or buildings should attend.

A discussion of how to find information on your own house or property will be followed by either lunch on your own or a brown bag lunch (each person responsible for own), drinks and cookies will be provided with

an opportunity to ask individual questions. Weather permitting, a short stroll will follow to look at the outside of the historic houses to be on the tour of homes.

Researching old houses is fun. Follow the clues and be surprised at what you may find!

The game is in the search. Annie McDonald, preservation specialist with the NC State Historic Preservation Office will lead this workshop. Come prepared to learn a lot.

Two more free workshops will be held before the Tour of Homes and Gardens on second Fridays of the month. On April 12, Jennifer Cathey, a restoration specialist, will speak at the workshop titled, “What Style is my House? Why Do Details Matter?”

Lew Halloway, a landscape and the manager of the Hendersonville Mainstreet Program, will lead the final workshop on May 10.

He will discuss streetscapes and why the exterior of houses and properties matter in a historic community.

I smiled for I’ve been around this block with Lani before, she knows me well.

“What’s up Bulldog, what do we have out there?”

“He’s a 1 ½-year-old stray named Droopy,” Lani replied, “He has a damaged front leg that may be an old injury.”

Intrigued, I went out to check his intake card which read, “Boxer, Great Dane mix.” “Oh my,” I thought to myself, “This I’ve got to see.”

I went around to see him and my heart skipped a beat or two before I caught my breath. The magnificent boy had such an alluring smile on his face; it would have made Helen of Troy jealous. Droopy trotted over with his left front leg raised but didn’t show any pain as he put it down now and then for balance. He sat at the gate and looked up at me with such a look of trust that a tear escaped and rolled down my face without me even knowing it was happening.

“What the heck,” I thought, “no one said I couldn’t.” So I opened the gate and went in to love him up. After some petting and sweet talk I wrapped my arms around him and said, “Droopy, I have a feeling you’re going to become one of my kids.”

“I know, Uncle Lennie,” he replied, “the others told me you’d stop by.”

“You’ve been talking to Lani, haven’t you?” I said as I hugged

him tighter, “I should have known this was a conspiracy.”

On Saturday morning I checked Droopy out of the shelter and brought him to Landrum vet for x-rays and evaluation. He will remain there under Lennie’s Fund and I will see he gets all tests, including neutering (sorry Droopy). Most of all I’ll do all in my power to make his leg right, once again, updates in the future.

Little Demetrius, the pup born with a spinal abnormality and without the use of his hind legs, spent the week in therapy. After his acupuncture he was receiving sessions where he was held in tepid water so he’d kick his legs to strengthen his muscles.

I picked him up and brought him to my dear friends at Head Memorial where he received a laser treatment while I held him. The results were amazing, though it was short-lived. Demetrius actually stood up on all four legs for the first time. The treatment was free of charge and I was also given a laser blanket that had a minor short but that worked fine in case I couldn’t make the trip back. I have angels everywhere.

I folded Demetrius in his towel, placed him in my jacket and drove him back with his head on my chest, listening to my heartbeat.

Early Friday morning I received a call from Jessica who told me Demetrius had passed on during the night. Precious had been howling during the night and when she went to check she learned of his fate.

Droopy

“It’s all right sweetheart,” I told her, “he was half her size and besides all his other problems he probably wasn’t fully formed.”

I often pray over my sick or injured animals and I always include the words from the Lord’s Prayer, “Thy will be done.” I know I kept my promise and did all that I could but sometimes the

answer to a prayer is not what we ask for. For some reason God wanted this little soul back, I can only hope that Demetrius filled whatever purpose he was sent here to achieve. I must keep the faith for without it I am nothing, so I’ll tearfully say again Lord, Thy will be done.

Thanks for listening.

Celebrity Chef Mark Anthony to cook free dinner March 14 A few years ago Mark Anthony was an executive chef for the largest hospital operating system in the country.

He was also at his largest weight of 305 pounds. As he looked around at the patients in the hospitals, he discovered one common element to most of their conditions; they were almost all there for cholesterol related problems.

He thought to himself, “I’d better do something or I’m going to end up being one of the people in this hospital,” he said.

That’s when he decided to go on a plant strong lifestyle. He has now lost 80 pounds and has dropped his cholesterol from 263 down to 118. No longer on the diabetic short list, he now shares the secrets that helped transform his life.

Anthony is a regular on 3ABN worldwide television and has done thousands of these special free cooking shows in every continental state in the country.

He is from Las Vegas, Nev., where he used his skills as a personal chef/caterer to stars like Jack Nicklaus, Joan Jett, STYX, Journey, Eddie Murry and Kansas. His catering and professional career has credited him with being one of the youngest executive chefs in Las Vegas at age 24.

“The simple transformation of eating better will also save you time in the kitchen because everything is so much easier to prepare and you will save a lot of money because the products you will soon be craving are a lot less expensive.”

Anthony said. “Your food will taste so much better because I teach you all about flavor and how your taste buds work.”

Anthony will present his free Dinner and A Message cooking show March 14 at 6 p.m., at the

Organist John Gardner in recital at Holy Cross Organist John Gardner will perform the third recital in the Bach’s Lunch/Lenten Recital Series at Holy Cross Episcopal Church at noon on Wednesday, March 6.

John will play four pieces, which are particularly appropriate for the Christian season of Lent, which precedes Easter. The pieces are by French and American composers of the twentieth century.

The program begins with “Hymn of Thanksgiving� by Jean Langlais. This piece incorporates melodies from a medieval chant, the “Te Deum Laudamus�-- that is, “Thou, God, Be Praised� -- interspersed with musical exclamations by Langlais that convey a spirit of thanks to God. Next come two pieces based on nineteenth-century American hymns: the spiritual “Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?� in an arrangement by Emma Lou Diemer, and a set of four short, contrasting arrangements by Samuel Barber of the hymn “What Wondrous Love Is This, O My Soul.�

Federal Estate Taxes Q. My estate is almost totally family land. Is there any way to arrange installment payments of federal estate taxes?

Yes. If a substantial part of the estate is in a farm or a closely held business, your estate may not have enough funds to pay the taxes. The IRS allows an exception to the 9-month rule for such estates. If the decedent is a U.S. citizens and the value of the farm or business is more than 35% of the decedent’s adjusted gross estate and the estate tax return makes such an election, your estate may defer payment of the estate tax for

your estate will have to pay only the interest on the deferred taxes. However, only the part of your taxes attributable to the farm or business can be paid in installments. The rest is due 9 months from the date of death. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Cover up…

Do you remember your children or grandchildren asking for something to take for “show and tell” at school?

This month at the Polk County Historical Association program we are asking our audience to bring an item to “show and tell.”

The item can be a family heirloom, a book, a picture, something historical, strange or unusual.

You may bring more than one item, but after telling about one, you will “go to the end of the line” so all may share their treasures.

Each person will have three minutes to “show and tell.” The meeting will be held on March 5 at 2:30 p.m. at the museum in Columbus.

Come bring your treasures to share with others.

It is free and open to the public.
