Polk Central Principal Dot-tie Kinlaw once thought $40 couldn’t go very far.

This year, however, staff showed her exactly how far it could stretch when the school

gave eight teams of staff mem-bers $40 to “Do Something Good” in the community.

“It just amazed me how large they [the school’s staff] made what I thought was a small amount,” Kinlaw said. “We are

blessed to be able to do this and really be able to celebrate the true Christmas spirit.”

Counselor Susan Howell said the school divided up the money



Columbus denies Ashley Meadows annexationMotion to annex dies without secondby Leah Justice

Ashley Meadows at White Oak will not become a part of the Town of Columbus despite

recent pleas from residents who said they need lower water bills.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Dec. 15 and denied a request to voluntarily annex the low-income housing develop-ment located just outside town off

Hwy. 108. Councilman Richard Hall made a motion to annex the property, but the motion died for lack of a second.

“We never intended to get attention for it, we just wanted to do something that mattered this Christmas season,” How-ell said. “I’m just amazed by how varied the projects were a m o n g t h e groups.”

One set of teachers and staff more than t r ip led the i r money by host-ing a bake sale. After collecting $140 total, team seven stuffed 20 one-gallon Ziploc bags with crossword puzzles, beef jerky, shampoo and candy for soldiers overseas.

“I was surprised,” said Robin Foster of Polk Central, “that the

Teammate Renae Calhoun said her team could have cho-sen many projects but this one pricked their hearts most.

“The majority of us felt that this was the most important out of all the worthy causes

we felt com-pelled to do,” Calhoun said. “Since we’ve done this proj-ect I know I’ve b e e n m u c h more aware of how fortunate we are to be here with our families when they cannot

that we could have fulfilled a need but our group wanted to keep our project within our school family,” Carroll said.

So the team purchased items for the family of a first grader

of their students into the mix of the project. They, along with a group of fourth graders, dug their hands into a dog treat recipe and made batch after batch of cook-ies for the dogs at the Foothills Humane Society.

On Friday, Dec. 16 the staff did celebrate the season with a

small drop-in reception where they all got the chance to view project boards with photos and typed stories about what each team did with its money.

council members or Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre as to why the council denied the petition.

Columbus held a public hearing in November at which several residents of Ashley Meadows spoke and said they can no longer afford the water rates Columbus charges for customers outside town limits. The town has lower water and sewer rates for customers in-side town limits than for those outside the town.

Ashley Meadows Property Manager April Lathan attended last week’s meeting and said she was there again to plead with council to annex the prop-erty so they can reduce utility bills for residents.

The only discussion that occurred during last week’s meeting was town manager Jonathan Kanipe saying he was mistaken that the property was contiguous to the town. Ashley Meadows is contiguous to the Burrell property, which was a satellite, or non-contiguous annexation. Town attorney

Bailey Nager said in order to be a contiguous annexation the property must connect to the main portion of the town.

The town would have gained revenues by annexing Ashley Meadows and added approximately 115 residents. The development would have paid town taxes if it had been annexed, which were estimated at $7,025 annually. The town would have lost money in its water and sewer department by offering lower inside rates, but including state revenues for the increased population, the

town’s net gain was estimated at approximately $12,000 per year.

Columbus has also denied two annexation requests from the restaurant Giardini Trat-toria and Catering Co., which is located along Hwy. 108 between Columbus and Mill Spring.

Some town council mem-bers have said in the past that Columbus residents say they do not want the town to grow and that’s their reason for denying voluntary annexation requests.

New traffic light pattern in Columbus

Recently, the Department of Transportation (DOT) fulfilled a request by the Town of Columbus to study and, if necessary, change the traffic light pattern at the inter-section of Mills and Walker streets. The previous traffic light pattern severely limited the number of vehicles turning left out of Walker Street onto Mills Street. Typically, only two to three vehicles were able to turn left through the intersection at a given interval, resulting in fur-ther back-ups down Walker Street.

The new pattern allows for dedicated movement coming from only one direction. When traffic is stopped at a red light on Mills Street, only one cross road – either Houston Road or Walker Street – will be able to move through the intersection. There is a new dedi-cated left turn light at the intersec-tion, and those traveling left from Walker Street onto Mills Street will now be able to get through the light more easily and often once it changes.

These changes should reduce back-ups on both Houston and Walker Street and result in a more continuous flow of traffic through the intersection.

Please contact Columbus Town Hall if you have any questions regarding this new pattern.– article submitted by Columbus

Manager Jonathan Kanipe

Hummingbirds are not the usual birding fare during the winter months, but with more people leaving their feeders up and with greater observer knowl-edge, it is now not uncommon to have wintering hummers at many locations throughout the Carolinas.

The major-ity of the Ruby-throated Hum-mingbirds leave the southeastern United States by the middle of October, and any hummingbird seen after that date is well worth studying in detail. Most of these laggards are still Ruby-throats, but there is a very good chance of a Rufous Hummingbird that has strayed far from its normal migration path through the western states.

Contrary to popular belief, leaving hummingbird feeders up beyond the middle of October is not detrimental to these birds, as the majority of the popula-tion will continue their normal migration patterns despite this new food source. These winter feeders may indeed help those late and/or sick birds by extend-ing the available food source, thus enabling the birds to either add more fuel to continue on their southbound journey or to

spend the winter near a well-stocked feeder.

The most common winter-ing hummingbird is the Rufous, probably the hardiest of all the northern and western humming-birds. They breed from north-

ern California to southern Alaska and winter in central Mexico. Most of the indi-viduals overwin-tering in the Car-olinas seem to be young birds

and it was originally thought that their inexperience with migration may indeed explain why they seem to be appearing with ever increasing frequency in our area. However, additional research has proved that, rather than a very few vagrant hummers present at scattered feeders, there is a population of wandering birds throughout the southeast. It is from this pool of individuals that many more species are be-ing reported in our area. Another interesting note is that several in-dividuals seem to be returning to their out-of-range winter homes in subsequent years.

Adult male Rufous Hum-mingbirds are very easy to iden-tify as they are a rich orange-brown in coloration. Immature birds are harder, but the easiest

way to distinguish them from the more common Ruby-throat is to examine the bird closely. Rufous Hummingbirds tend to show browner flanks and brown webs to the tail feathers – a fairly easy feature to see as they feed around the feeder.

This winter is looking to be an excellent one for stray hum-mers from the west as there have already been several Rufous reported, as well as a male Al-len’s Hummingbird that has been visiting a feeder in Hickory for the last month.

So, the bottom line is, if you see a hummingbird buzzing around your winter flowers, you have not been having too much

Earlier this month, the Polk County Public Library (PCPL) re-placed all of the public computers and added three new workstations. The Columbus computer lab now houses 16 upgraded computers.

In July, the PCPL was awarded a $19,000 grant to be used for upgrading the computer lab in Columbus. The PCPL received one of the 112 competitive grants awarded to North Carolina li-braries from this year’s federal allotment of $4,160,471. The Library Services and Technol-ogy Act (LSTA) grant program administered by the State Library

of North Carolina funds projects across the state that help libraries deliver learning opportunities for a lifetime, support libraries in their mission to provide cost-effective access to the Internet and to in-formation expertise, and make library resources more accessible to all users.

As part of the grant, the PCPL will create two “express stations,” which will be standing Internet access points for checking emails, printing boarding passes and other quick tasks. The express stations are slated for installa-tion early Spring 2012. The staff

has a full year to fulfill all grant requirements, but implemented the purchase and scheduled the installation as fast as possible to give patrons a portal to emerging technologies and to alleviate wait-ing times.

LSTA funds awarded by the State Library of North Carolina are made possible through fund-ing from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a divi-sion of the Department of Cultural

Resources.These federal funds are invest-

ments that help libraries deliver relevant and up-to-date services for their communities.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s 122,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The insti-tute’s mission is to create strong libraries and museums that con-nect people to information and ideas. Through the LSTA Grants to States program IMLS provides

The members and pastor of Jacksons Grove Church of Landrum are pleased to pres-ent several special services in observance of the Christmas event. Because of its popular-ity, the traditional Christmas Eve candlelight service will be offered twice this year, one at 5 p.m. and the other at 8 p.m. Holy Communion will be celebrated at each of these services.

In addition to these services, the church will also offer “A Service of the Longest Night” that will be held on the afternoon of Dec. 22 at 4 p.m. This date is the 2011 winter solstice in the northern hemisphere. It is the 24-hour period during the year with the most hours of darkness in our part of the world. This ser-vice acknowledges the darkness of the season. It will address the battle waged in many people’s lives and in area communities – against depression, anxiety, loss,

violence and forces of evil all around. For some, all the colored lights, Christmas cookies and holiday feasts are not enough to overcome this darkness.

“In spite of the desire to be joyous, Christ-mas can be a p a i n f u l t i m e for some,” Rev. Mike Bowers said. “It may be the first Christ-mas without a beloved family member who has recently died. It may bring memories of great disappoint-ment. It may be a time of anxiety over an uncertain future. It may be a time that has always been difficult. The constant refrain on the radio and television, in shopping malls and churches, about the happiness of the sea-son, about getting together with family and friends, reminds many people of what they have

lost or have never had. The an-guish of broken relationships, the insecurity of unemployment, the weariness of ill health, the pain of isolation - all these can make people feel very alone in

the midst of the celebrating and spending. We need the space and time to ac-knowledge our sadness and concern ; we

need to know that we are not alone.”

Everyone, regardless of church background (or lack of it) is welcome. The short ser-vice will be followed by a brief time for light refreshments and fellowship.

In addition to these opportu-nities, Jacksons Grove Church will hold its Service of Worship on Christmas Day at 9:30 a.m. This service will feature sev-

eral contributors in a dialogue sermon designed to inspire reflection on the significance of the birth of Christ for the pres-ent time.

“This unique service is de-signed to encourage worshipers to see the ancient story of the birth of Christ as an enduring message of relevance through-out history and even today,” Rev. Bowers said.

Jacksons Grove Church, founded in the early 1830s, still worships in a sanctuary built in 1875. It is located at 2842 North Pacolet Road in Landrum. Services are held each Sunday at 9:30 a.m. and everyone is welcome.

For more information, con-tact Rev. Mike Bowers at 864-316-1784 or [email protected] or visit www.jacksons-grove.org.

• Central honor roll(conTinueD from page 14)

Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS) will offer three special offerings of workshops in three different medias in the TPS new studio space located at 26 Maple Street in Tryon.

Leading off the year is Stepha-nie Kompathoum, a paper maker from Hendersonville, N.C., who will teach pulp painting on Sat-urday, Jan. 7 from 1-6 p.m. Students will learn to make paper pulp in various colors and textures and then apply it to a background surface to create a two-dimensional painting with interesting abstract qualities that can be seen as a landscape or as a figurative painting with soft edges and muted colors. This technique can be combined with paint and other collage materials for a most unusual result.

In the ceramic sculptural area, Jim Cullen will conduct a two-part workshop on Saturday, Jan. 14 entitled “Ways with Clay… Materials and Techniques.” The

objects made during the work-shop will be fired in the time between the first and second session so that a glaze firing can be done to complete the projects on Saturday, Jan. 28. This will be a half-day session to evalu-ate the finished pieces and take them home.

Last year, Cullen presented an informative session on glaz-ing to the Art, Wine and Cheese audience and many of the textural effects shown there will be used in this workshop.

Another intensive painting workshop will be conducted by well-known Saluda painter Wil-liam Jameson, who has proven to be one of TPS’s favorite instruc-tors. The dates of the workshop are Thursday, Jan. 19 through Saturday, Jan. 21. The workshop will meet from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. This three-day offering is open to all TPS members first and then if there are openings, non-members may apply. This

workshop will be conducted at Jameson’s studio in Saluda and will feature personalized instruc-tion to each participant. The me-dia for this workshop can be oil or acrylic and the subject stressed will be primarily landscape, including winter scenes and oth-ers. TPS recommends interested students sign up soon for this one as it has limited enrollment.

TPS will also offer ongoing classes in ceramic sculpture, oil painting and other media and figure drawing studios.

For information about classes and workshops and to register, please contact Christine Mariotti at 828-859-8392 or at [email protected]. Information about classes and workshops can also be found in the class note-book located in the gallery. The TPS gallery is open Thursdays through Saturdays, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Tryon Arts and Crafts School (TACS) will host a workshop by leather artist Karl Boyer on Jan. 28 from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. that will teach students how to make an embellished leather mask.

The one-day Mardi-Gras Style Mask Making Workshop will start with an introduction to leather.

Boyer will then discuss prepa-ration of the leather, including making a pattern and transferring the pattern to the leather surface, and an introduction to the tools of the trade.

Students will make a leather half mask embellished with feath-ers, beads and other traditional and non-traditional elements.

Boyer will also teach a Funda-mentals of Leather Carving Class

on Thursday evenings, 6 – 9 p.m., Jan. 6 through Feb. 9 at TACS.

The workshop and the six-week classes are designed for beginning to intermediate students. The class-es will be held Thursday evenings from 6 – 9 p.m. These sessions will teach the students basic skills while encouraging them to develop their own creative style. In the six-week classes, students will work on projects of their choosing under the guidance of the instructor.

Karl Boyer began doing leath-erwork in 1970 when Tandy Leath-er Company was holding seminars with some of the pioneers of this art form. He has belonged to several arts and crafts guilds, including the Pennsylvania State Guild, the Kernersville, N.C. Guild and the

Winston-Salem, N.C. Guild. “While leatherwork is a craft,

it is also an art form,” said Boyer, “an art form that will teach self-discipline.”

Advance registration for all classes and workshops is required. For more information about the instructor or workshop, including tuition and supply costs, contact TACS at 828-859-8323 or by email at [email protected].
