Russell tells of Saluda’s good ol’ daysDiscusses his book, ‘In Times Gone By,’ for PCHAby Leah Justice

Saluda native Bill Russell told stories of slower times during a Polk County His-torical Association meeting Tuesday, May 3, while discussing his book, “In Times Gone By.” The book is about his memo-ries of growing up in Saluda, which is celebrating its 130th anniversary this year.

Russell spoke of many aspects that made Saluda great, including downtown stores and the people.

Russell was born on the Henderson County side of Saluda in 1934 in a two-room house that blew when the wind blew, he said.

Russell said he grew up poor, but never went hungry. He didn’t have a car until 1950, he said. He said anyone who had anything had a cow back then and they grew most of what they ate.

“If the cow dried up and didn’t give any milk, you could always eat him,” Russell said.

Russell was uniquely the last official graduate of Saluda High School. He was drafted in the Army when he was 18, prior to graduating. Although he came back from service and received his GED, he received a letter in 2007 saying that all people who got drafted in high school would get their diploma. A graduation service was ar-ranged just for Russell, with the principal and superintendent presenting him his diploma.

Russell retired from the Army and National Guard in 1974 after almost 24 years of service. He also worked at Adams Millis in Tryon for a while and retired twice from Landrum Mills.

Russell spoke of former Saluda Police Chief Gurley Laughter, who also served as the town manager and took care of the water system. He said M.A. Pace’s store was there and people would buy their beef from Ward’s store, owned by Roy, then Charlie Ward. There were no refrigerators, and beans and sugar came in a barrel, he said. Every once in a while, Russell said, they’d get salted fish in a 50-gallon barrell.

Russell said h e d o e s n ’ t think he ever ate a steak un-til he was 25 - 30 years old and he’ll never forget the first hamburger he ever ate. Rus-sell was five or six years old at a “beer joint” in Tennessee.

“I never found another place that had a hamburger that tasted or smelled as good as that first one,” said Russell.

While Russell was growing up in Saluda, you could get a hamburger for 15 cents and a hotdog for 10 cents at a Sa-luda café. There were also slot machines that you could play

and win 35 cents for a nickel, he said.

Other good memories came from Russell’s aunt, Loney Coggins. She was a midwife who told Russell she delivered more than 320 babies. She

would spend weeks wi th families both before and af-ter the babies w e r e b o r n . She used to say if the par-ents didn’t pay her, the babies she delivered belonged to her.

One time the Bradleys came into town with a sick horse, Russell said. They tried to pour a bottle of medicine down the horse’s throat, but didn’t have any luck. He said his aunt Loney stuck her fingers in the horse’s nostrils so it couldn’t breathe and raised the horse’s head and poured the bottle

in there and he swallowed it. She then said, “See, men don’t know everything.”

“Aunt Loney always wore a polka dot dress and a long apron,” R u s s e l l s a i d . “Aunt Loney was quite a character in her own right.”

Russel l a lso said although he didn’t drink, parts of Saluda were known for making moonshine.

He said when he was young there were no jobs in Saluda and he made a little extra money driving people to Gap Creek to get liquor.

“They’d pay me $7 to take them to buy a half gallon,” said Russell. “I didn’t drink, but I hauled a little bit of it, I’ll admit that.”

Russell also spoke of a black woman named Phelby Sullivan (pronounced “Phoebe”).

“She was famous in the fact that she was an herb doctor,” Russell said. “She died when she was 101.”

Russell described Sullivan as having “snow white hair” and sitting in a chair.

He said someone once ac-cused Sullivan of selling medi-cine without a license, but all she had was natural herbs. And she really didn’t sell them. She put out a jar and if people wanted, they’d put a little mon-ey in it.

“I’m not going to say what

was in the basis of that medi-cine,” Russell said, laughing. “It might not cure you, but it sure made you feel good.”

The town threw a birthday party for Sullivan every year with hundreds attending, in-cluding black and white people.

“We were lucky in Saluda,” Russell said. “We didn’t have any racial problems. Everybody got along.”

Russell has also written of the black history of Saluda. He said he never knew a bad black person who ever lived in Saluda and spoke highly of their contributions to Saluda history.

“They contributed much to what Saluda is today,” Russell said.

Dog society aims to help Saluda stray ‘Bridge Dog’by Samantha Hurst

Efforts to rescue “Bridge Dog,” a stray dog regularly found wandering around the overpass by Green River Bar-becue in Saluda, have served as the catalyst for the formation of a new dog society in Saluda.

Pat Waring and fellow Sa-luda Dog So-ciety members are seeking the help of com-munity mem-bers to find the dog’s owner. In the process, they’ve gained strength in oth-er group aims as well.

“As a result of his plight and our public posters, our advi-sory board has gained two new members - both animal lovers and one of whom was heavily involved and on the board of the Columbia SPCA,” Waring said.

Dog society members first spotted the dog in February huddled between two logs on

Henderson Street in Saluda, ac-cording to Waring. Waring said Polk County animal control is trying to assist the group in catching the dog but the group remains concerned the dog might not survive.

Waring did ask that people not feed him or scare him off.

“ W e ’ v e got to know where he is and it could be worse for the dog if people feed him or try to capture him because then he could

change his routine, making it more difficult to rescue him,” she said.

Overall, Waring said the group’s desire is to help animals within Saluda.

“Our mission statement is: An organization formed to pro-vide humane aid and support to

‘Bridge Dog,’ a stray dog that has been seen regularly wandering around the overpass by Green River Barbecue in Saluda. (photo submitted)

Waring said the group also aims to encourage the construc-tion and upkeep of a dog park to allow dogs to exercise and learn

socialization skills. Society members plan to

participate in local parades and community events, as well as hosting fundraisers to get the word out about their efforts.

Saluda Board of Commis-sioners approved the request for a dog park back on March 14. The group had requested the use of city property off Chestnut Street for the park, which would include benches

Joanna Vaughn of Inman and Jessica Brock of Landrum, both teachers at O.P. Earle, spent their afternoon last Thursday, May 5, painting ceramic cat figurines at Hearts of Clay in Columbus. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

Two sisters open Hearts of Clay, a paint-your-own pottery studio, in downtown Columbusby Samantha Hurst

Tamara Jones and her sister, Heather Condrey, fell in love with the idea of Flying Saucers, a paint-your-own pottery studio in Spartanburg, S.C.

For eight years, they spent their free time there brushing paint strokes across whimsical ceramic pieces as gifts and deco-rative items for their homes.

The two had been customers of the pottery studio for eight years before purchasing it in August 2010.

Not five months later, Jones and her husband, Jay, were leav-ing dinner with family at The Brick in Columbus when they noticed a neighboring storefront.

They knew instantly it would be the perfect spot for a second studio. At the time Jones had no clue it was the same spot where her grandfather, Ralph Cochran, once displayed and sold his handiwork.

“I’m renting the same build-ing that my papa rented to make furniture and I’m doing what my grandmother loved to do,” Jones said.

Her grandmother, Ethel Co-chran, also loved creating ce-ramic pieces.

Hearts of Clay officially launched its second studio in Columbus April 1.

The studio offers customers the ability to paint their own pottery pieces – piggy banks, jewelry boxes, travel mugs and platters – in the colors and de-

signs they choose. She said each piece can be as personalized as the customer wishes to make it.

“I know what I wanted as a customer and I think that helps me make good decisions as an owner,” Jones said. “One of the things we changed was getting rid of the studio fees. Now they can sit in here for hours working on a piece, and people love that; you don’t want to have to be on a time schedule.”

Jones explained that instead of paying $6 for every hour in the

studio, customers now pay a flat fee for the piece they paint.

“It’s about fun and it’s about relaxing,” Jones said. “Those are

two things in the world peo-ple need more than anything.”

L a n d r u m resident Jes-sica Brock, a teacher at O.P. Earle Elemen-

tary, needed a hobby and an escape from everyday life.

“I’m glad it’s here because it’s so therapeutic for me,” she said. “I needed something to come and do after work, something to get me out of the

house.”Jones said she’s happy to

hear the shop provides a great atmosphere and “something else to do in Columbus.”

The studio plans to host a sev-en-week homeschool program for the area beginning in Sep-tember. Hearts of Clay already hosts birthday parties, summer camps and fundraisers. For fund-raisers, Jones said organizations could receive 15 percent of costs from all pieces sold.

Hearts of Clay plans to host a grand opening event May 21 from 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. Jones said there will be prizes and give-aways such as a free birthday party.

“I know what I wanted as a customer and I think that helps me make good decisions as an owner.”

Polk County commissioners reviewed current state bills that could harm county tax dollars during a meeting Monday, April 18.

Following is text from the NCACC regarding proposed changes that could affect men-tal health funding, the local revenue base and responsibil-ity for funding construction and maintenance projects for transportation.

See the Wednesday, May 4 and Friday, May 6 Bulle-tins for information from the NCACC about other issues.

Residents who want to ex-press an opinion about these issues to state legislators can contact Rep. David Guice by email at [email protected] or by phone at 919-715-4466; Sen. Tom Apodaca can be reached by email at [email protected] or by phone at 919-733-5745.Ensure adequate mental health funding

Issue: Seek legislation to ensure adequate capacity of state-funded acute psychiat-ric beds. Seek legislation to maintain the existing levels of state funding for commu-nity mental health services. Oppose legislation to close state-funded beds until there is adequate capacity statewide.

NCACC policy: Compre-hensive and efficient human services, including social services, health and mental health, are essential to human well-being in our present so-ciety. These services must be clearly defined and adequately funded. State-mandated ser-vices delivered at the county level should be financed from state revenue sources in order for every citizen of North Car-olina to receive a substantially

similar degree of service. Background: As state and

federal policy changes have forced the downsizing of state psychiatric hospital capacity, commensurate increases in local service capacity has not kept pace with bed closures. The state has purchased lo-cal hospital beds that are set aside for the mentally ill, but additional funding is needed for increased bed capacity. Counties and local hospital emergency rooms have had to manage an increasingly larger population with mental health needs with inadequate commu-nity services, and the mentally ill are on the rise in county jails and among the homeless.

Action needed: Additional funding is needed to sup-port the community mental health system. H84 and its companion bill, S334, would provide/appropriate more than $39 million to expand inpa-tient psychiatric bed capacity. These two bills are sponsored by Rep. Verla Insko (Orange) and Sen. Martin Nesbitt (Bun-combe), who co-chaired the Legislative Oversight Com-mittee on Mental Health, De-velopmental Disabilities and Substance Abuse Services. The House bill is in the Com-mittee on Health and Human Services; the Senate bill is in Mental Health and Youth Services.

Psychiatric Beds/Funds,” sponsored by Insko (D56) Orange; Farmer-Butterfield (D24) Edgecombe, Wilson; Brisson (D22) Bladen, Cum-berland, an act to appropri-ate additional funds for the

expansion of local inpatient psychiatric beds or bed days, as recommended by the Leg-islative Oversight Committee on Mental Health, Develop-mental Disabilities and Sub-stance Abuse Services.Preserve the existing local revenue base

Issue: Preserve the existing local revenue base.

NCACC policy: County of-ficials recognize their responsi-bilities for carrying out policies and programs formulated by the general assembly. We ask that state policy makers should recognize county revenue base limitations and variations in revenue-producing capabili-ties among counties and that the state not mandate programs requiring county financial par-ticipation.

Background: The property tax is the mainstay of the county revenue base, equating to more than 50 percent of a county’s total revenues and more than 75 percent of tax revenues. Over time, the general assembly has enacted various and expensive property tax exclusions and ex-emptions. Few, if any, of these property tax base reductions are reexamined to determine if they have achieved their intended tax policy objectives. Lawmak-ers rarely reassess local revenue losses to determine if the fiscal analysis appropriately identi-fied actual revenue impacts once the exclusion or exemp-tion has been enacted. Seldom is the revenue loss totality of property tax exclusions and exemptions addressed when in-dividual exclusions are brought forward in the legislature.

As an example, North Caro-lina counties and cities pay for the Elderly Homestead Ex-emption Program, a program originally designed to provide a property tax break for the low

income, elderly homeowner. Elderly homeowners with in-comes below $25,600 are al-lowed to exempt from taxes the greater of $25,000 or 50 percent of the assessed value of their permanent residences, including up to one acre of land. A quick review of elderly homestead exemptions offered in other states indicated that North Carolina’s program is both generous and expansive.

The homestead’s income exemption was recently in-creased in 2008, jumping from $20,000 to $25,000. Numerous bills have been introduced this session that would increase the homestead property tax income eligibility level yet again. H246, introduced by Reps. Alma Adams (Guilford), William Wainwright (Craven) and Julia Howard (Davie), would increase the income limit to $35,000 and add a new deduction from the income computation by allowing an applicant to deduct “short-term and long-term capital losses, as defined in section 1222” of the Internal Revenue Code. The change would become effective July 1, 2011.

S216, introduced by Sen. Austin Allran (Catawba) also increases the homeowner’s income threshold to $35,000. A fiscal note has yet to be pre-pared for either of these bills; however, when the homestead exemption was increased from $20,500 to $25,000 on July 1, 2008, a fiscal note indicated local governments would lose as much as $20 million per year by 2011-12.

Action needed: H246 (Mod-ify Homestead Property Tax Exclusion) is currently in the House Finance Committee. S216 is in the Senate Finance Committee. County commis-sioners should discuss the im-

plications of these bills for their counties with their legislators, especially those who serve on the House and Senate Finance committees.

Issue: Oppose legislation shifting the state’s existing responsibility for funding trans-

portation construction and maintenance projects to county governments.

NCACC policy: To provide equity among counties and to relieve counties of fiscal bur-dens that cannot adequately be funded by county revenue sources. Services mandated by the state should be fully funded by the state.

Background: The second-ary road system is currently funded through two sources: the Highway Fund and the Highway Trust Fund. These two funds are used to construct and pave roads and to improve existing paved secondary roads. In 2009, legislation was intro-duced that would have shifted secondary road responsibilities to the counties. That bill would have created two road systems in the state: a primary road system over which the state would maintain responsibility, and a secondary road system for which counties would become responsible. Counties would have become responsible for more than $500 million in costs for secondary road resurfacing and expansion projects. Some of the more rural counties would


have to increase property taxes by as much as 25 cents to gener-ate the amount of revenue needed to maintain the same level of service. The general assembly is often told that counties in other states are currently responsible for roads, but counties in those states do not share costs in other areas, such as public education and health and human services.

The staff of the N.C. Depart-ment of Transportation has told the Joint Appropriations Sub-committee on Transportation that the NCDOT does not support transferring responsibility for secondary road maintenance to counties. The NCACC opposes any attempt to force road respon-sibilities on counties.

Action needed: At this point, legislation has not been filed in this session of the general assembly that would shift this responsibility to the counties. As the state budget is deliberated, it is important that you continue to talk with your legislators about the negative impact such a shift would have on your county and the amount of property tax in-crease it would take to fund secondary road maintenance in your county.

Polk County Democratic Party Executive Committee passes resolution in support of local teachers, public education system

The Polk County Democrat-ic Party Executive Committee passed a resolution in support of Polk County teachers and the pub-lic education system resolution on May 5 at its regular meeting.

The following is the text of the resolution:

Whereas, May 2-6, 2011 is National Teachers Appreciation Week, and

Whereas, teachers have played a crucial role in the

advancement, prosperity and cohesion of our community and have enhanced the quality of life for so many through the quest for knowledge and under-standing, and

Whereas, education is the foundation of the American Dream and public education has been the source of opportunity and hope for people from all walks of life for generations, and

Whereas, North Carolina’s

growth, prosperity and stature are directly related to our his-torical investment in public education, and

Whereas, a well-educated work force is essential to at-tract business investment to our county, and, as a major employer, our public school system contributes significantly to our local economy,

Therefore, Be it Resolved, the Polk County Democratic

Party Executive Committee wishes to express our heart-felt appreciation to our county’s outstanding teachers and school system employees and to renew our commitment to advocate for adequate support and funding for public education.

Letter to the Editor

Tryon’s name twinTo the Editor: How many Tryons are there? Having been born in the

original St. Luke’s Hospital and living in your Tryon, I as-sumed for many years that there was only one, nestled against the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Then I married a girl from Nebraska who told me there is also a Tryon in her state. Naturally, I was intrigued and put it on my list of places to visit sometime.

Today, more than 50 years later, we finally made it there. Planning a car trip from our home near Seattle in the state of Washington to Lincoln, Neb., we realized that by following some routes “less traveled by” we could include the other Tryon on our itinerary.

We found it in the west central part of Nebraska, in the midst of the high, rolling, grassy country known as the Sand Hills. This undulating landscape has hundreds of lakes and ponds in its low areas.

We approached Tryon from the north, crossing the Dismal River on Highway 97, and found the unincorporated town in a grove of shade trees. It is small enough that you could drive from end to end while holding your breath, but we stayed long enough to stop at Aunt Bea’s Café and chat with the good folks we found there.

It was fun to compare the two Tryons.

They allowed that maybe a 100 people live in their Tryon, and they know everyone, of course. They also know the land and climate well, being

dependent on it for ranching and farming. The school across the road from Aunt Bea’s café provides educational opportuni-ties for students from all over McPherson County, many un-doubtedly traveling an hour or more by car or bus to get there.

Tryon’s post office is in a wing of a private home, both of which are for sale for an asking price of $68,000.

The only grocery store closed recently, so their econ-omy has seen better times, like the rest of the country. The ma-jor enterprise in town appears to be a tall elevator where grain is handled before shipping to markets. Tryon residents make the drive to North Platte or Mullen, 30-some miles away, for supplies and services. They have to be highly self-reliant.

When I asked about the origin of the name Tryon, we heard one story is told of early pioneers struggling with their wagons through the hilly coun-try. They were urged not to give up, but to “try on and you’ll make it.” (Sound familiar?) An-other said local residents were told to “keep tryin’” to think of a name other than McPherson, its original name. A book on local history, which we found at the courthouse (Tryon be-ing the county seat, as well as the only town in the county), surmised that it was named for Lord Tryon of Colonial days, but didn’t offer a connection between the two.

I paused to read the plaque outside the courthouse com-memorating six young local men, each of whom were killed in action during World War II. The little village of Tryon paid a heavy price to lose so many.

Tryon, N.C. remains my

hometown, even though my return visits are now rare (just ask my Tryon cousins Kathleen Wagner and Bunny Shields). When I do come, it’s gratify-ing to find it changed so little compared to the growth in the

Aunt Bea’s Cafe in Tryon, Neb.

Seattle area where we now live. You are fortunate to live

where you do, and today I found other Tryon residents who ap-parently feel the same way.

Mahaffey has left a lasting im-pression on star track athlete Tyler Logan, who signed to run track at North Greenville on Thursday, May 5.

“He expressed good Christian values that made me a better ath-lete,” Logan said.

And according to Mahaffey, the Crusaders are getting a strong athlete.

“Tyler has been blessed with an immense amount of speed,” Mahaffey said.

Logan has run for Mahaffey for six years and holds the 200-meter record and was a part of a record-breaking 4x100-meter run.

North Greenville had a lot of appeal for Logan. The atmosphere and its “beautiful scenery” was one.

“It’s a great school and it’s close to home,” Logan said.

Close to home was a factor that made his mom, Sandy, happy as well, as she beamed with pride on Thursday.

“I’m extremely proud that he’s taking advantage of the opportunity at North Greenville,” she said.

As for Logan’s future, Mahaffey has high hopes for his talented athlete.

“My hope is that Tyler will continue to work on his ability as a track athlete and I look forward to

seeing his accomplishments at the next level,” Mahaffey said.Savanna Smith

Landrum’s Savanna Smith signed to play two sports at North Greenville on Thursday, May 5. Smith was a volleyball standout and is currently in the midst of a successful track campaign.

Thursday was the endgame for a long, calculated plan by the senior.

“Ever since I was in ninth grade, I wanted to be a part of their volleyball team,” she said. “I wanted to make that my goal for my high school career and I’m glad I’m reaching it.”

Smith was an integral part of the Cardinal volleyball team this season.

“She was an excellent player,” head coach Denise Riske said. “She devoted a lot of time train-ing the summer before her senior year.”

An ankle injury interrupted her year, but she thrived before and after, Riske said.

On the track team, she’s had a successful career as a sprinter and jumper and she’s not finished yet. This season she set a personal record of over 15 feet in her long jump. She’s competing for the Upper State Championship in the 200 meter, the long jump and the 4x100.

“She’s a very impressive lady and a team player,” Mahaffey said.

“We’re proud parents of a dual-sport athlete,” her mom Carolyn Smith said. “She’s worked hard since seventh grade.”

Letter to the Editor

Celebrating nursesTo the Editor: In honor of nurse’s week

(last week) I would like to applaud the nursing staff at St. Luke’s hospital for the tremendous strides they have made in the quality of care at the hospital.

Their competence and com-passion are obvious in their

attention to both the physical and emotional needs of the patients, and the community should be very thankful that it has access to a facility with such a dedicated group of health care professionals.

In my nearly eight years here, having come from larger facilities, I have rarely seen a group come together to improve performance in so many ways.

Happy Nurses Week!– Jim Holleman MD FACS

The Bird Box

by Simon Thompson

A small, pale blue and white songbird sings its buzzy song from high within the dense canopy of a tall oak tree.

All you can see is a small shape flitting between the leaves while the loud persis-tent song continues. This is what one normally sees of the threatened cerulean warbler.

F rom the i r w in t e r ing grounds in the Andes of Co-lombia, Ecuador and Peru, these hardy little birds make a journey north every spring to breed in the Ohio River Valley and in a few locations here in Western North Carolina.

Asheville is the only city in North Carolina with cerulean warblers in its backyard and from 12 to 24 male cerulean warblers hold territories on the Blue Ridge Parkway each year from Cra-ven Gap as far as Lane Pinna-cle Overlook.

The l oca l chapter of the National Audu-bon Society here in WNC is the Elisha Mitchell Audubon Society and we have adopted the Bull Creek Important Bird Area where volunteers have monitored our small popula-tion of cerulean warblers since 1998. Birders from all over the southeast come to Asheville to see and hear this beautiful blue songbird, whose overall numbers are decreasing pre-cipitously.

Cerulean warblers spend the winter on the eastern slope of the Andes in South America. Here they inhabit remnants of native forest and shade-grown coffee plantations, where they join other Neotropical and local

songbirds foraging for insects in the tall trees that shade the coffee plants.

ProAves, a Colombian non-profit organization “dedicated

to the conser-vation of birds and their habi-tats through research, out-reach and di-rect conserva-tion actions in collaboration

with local communities,” has established a reserve especially to protect the declining cerulean warbler. The “Cerulean Warbler Reserve” was established in 2005 and since that date the reserve has grown ten-fold.

More funding has allowed more land to be purchased for the reserve and a small lodge has been built for eco-tourists. Folks from the local community are being trained as guides and as researchers, and local com-munities are being educated about the importance of birds in the local economy.

So how do we help the ce-rulean warbler both here in North Carolina and down on

Protecting the rare cerulean warbler

its wintering grounds in South America?

To start with, I will give a presentation on May 17 at 7 p.m. at the Reuter Center on the campus of UNCA here in Ashe-ville. I will discuss the cerulean warbler here in North Carolina and the Cerulean Warbler Re-serve in San Vicente, Colombia.

A small fee will be charged for this program as part of our annual Birdathon fundraising attempt.

More information on this program is on our local Audu-bon Society’s website www.emasnc.org or call us at the Asheville Wild Birds Unlimited store on 828-687-9433.

I hope to see you there. Simon Thompson has lived

in WNC for the past 16 years. He owns and operates his own birding tour company, Ventures Birding Tours.

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
