Campobello-Gramling School named South Carolina’s Best Reading SchoolFor the second consecutive year,

the top three finalists for the South Carolina International Reading Association’s Exemplary Reading Schools Award were schools from Spartanburg School District One.

Campobello-Gramling School was named the SCIRA Exemplary Reading School for 2013. Holly Springs Motlow School was named an honor/ first runner-up school.

District One Schools said the accomplishment serves to validate that its schools are at the forefront of the best in literacy instruction across the state. When making the an-nouncement of the winning school, the chairman of the awards commit-tee stated that all three schools from District One could have been the winner but the International Read-ing Association recognizes only one school from each state.

Each school was required to submit an extensive paper appli-cation that describes the literacy and reading program and covers these areas: the reading program

is consistent with sound theory, research and practice; the read-ing program facilitates student

learning; students have access to a wide variety of reading materials; students demonstrate success in

reading; comprehension strategies

office does not believe Michael Herman knew of the alleged crimes committed by his wife, but officers are currently doing an internal investigation.

The sheriff’s office received an anonymous tip after a pic-ture from surveillance video circulated the media last week asking for the public’s assistance to identify the suspect. Shortly after receiving the tip, officers received additional information regarding a purchase made with the card, which substantiated the tip, officers said.

Detectives with the sheriff’s office had been working the case since January, which involved fraudulent transactions in Polk, Rutherford and Spartanburg Counties.

Detectives said they are for-warding information they’ve obtained in their investigation to Rutherford and Spartanburg

counties, where Jessica Herman could face additional charges.

Jessica Herman turned herself in to the sheriff’s office, where she went before a magistrate and received a $2,000 bond, accord-ing to the sheriff’s office report. She was scheduled to make her first appearance in Polk County Court last Friday, March 1.

are taught and applied across the curriculum; listening, speaking, viewing and writing are integrated into and support the reading pro-gram; administrators and teachers provide leadership and vision for the building and/or district reading program; the school and/or district offer support services to the pro-gram; literacy activities occur out-side of school; and the community, including parents, is involved in the reading program.

Spartanburg School District One had several teams of teachers present at the conference to present workshops on our strategies for suc-cessful reading schools. Fourteen presentations were given from teachers from Spartanburg District One, including the three Exemplary Reading finalist schools.

Campobello Gramling serves about 765 students in K4-eighth grade.

John Hodge, principal at Cam-pobello Gramling School, said he is extremely proud of the school’s

accomplishments. “Our students, our teachers, and

our community worked extremely hard to get to the place where we could receive this award and we will continue to work hard. I am honored to be the principal of one of the three schools in District One who were finalists — what an ac-complishment.”

Dr. Ron Garner, Superintendent of District One Schools, Spartan-burg, said Campobello Gramling School is to be commended for receiving this honor.

“This recognition only validates what occurs every day in the school and is reflected in the success of the students at Campobello Gram-ling,” he said. “This is just another example of our district mission to provide a ‘quality, student-centered education. We are just as proud of our other schools that were honored by SCIRA and in our minds, they are all winners for the children we serve.”

Polk hears positive comments over decision to allow trappingby Leah Justice

After hearing many comments against Polk County’s decision to petition the state to allow trapping of furbearers, commissioners heard mostly supportive remarks during a meeting held Feb. 18.

Trapping was not on the board’s agenda on Feb. 18, but a few residents stood during citizen com-ments to commend the board for sticking with their decision, which the board made in January.

Scott Woodworth said many times people stand at meetings to complain, but commissioners do a lot of hard work behind the scenes that the public doesn’t see.

He said it seems from people against, that traps are worse to have than shooting the varmit. Those same people, he said, would be here against firearms on your property.

Debbie Arceneaux said the last meeting she attended was “prob-ably the scariest meeting I’ve ever

attended in my life.”She said she was really sur-

prised at the amount of people who came out against this issue and that issue.

“I think what disturbed me the most is that we have a group of people that seem to be bent on the destruction of commissioners,” Arceneaux said.

Rickie McFalls said he has pic-tures of a friend where a fox got in his dog lot foaming at the mouth. He said he appreciates commis-sioners going with the trapping.

“I’m glad we’re backing the trapping because hey, the varmits, they need to be done with,” said McFalls.

McFalls said people against trapping are asking about dogs getting trapped.

“They say, hey, how about the dogs?” McFalls said. “I’ve got dogs. I keep them in the yard.”

McFalls also thanked commis-

sioners saying he knows they took, “some real tongue-lashing.”

John Blanton thanked commis-sioners for listening to the state wildlife officers and biologists about trapping.

“These gentlemen know wild-life management,” said Blanton. “You listened to the professionals, you listened to the public com-ments.”

Blanton said most of the com-ments were negative and came from national groups like PETA. Blanton said PETA has billboards asking people not to fish because they have feelings too and they recommend using a live mouse trap to release them in the wild unharmed. He mentioned that these groups sent support to England and now fox hunting is banned in those countries.

“Your sport is going to be next,” said Blanton.

Commissioners also heard one

comment against trapping during citizen comments.

John Major said he was speak-ing on behalf of the anti-trapping group saying he thinks commis-sioners should hold off.

“I just can’t see why you can’t wait and get some opinions besides PETA,” Major said. “We’ve rushed judgement so quickly.”

He said phone calls and emails have not been returned and he doesn’t know who is pushing this so hard.

Polk, Rutherford and Cleveland Counties have petitioned the state to abolish a 1975 law that made it unlawful to possess steel traps. The bill is currently in the N.C. Legislature with the first reading already passed in Congress. A call-in was organized earlier this month to the N.C. Governor’s office with 88 people calling the governor to say they are against trapping in Polk County.

Now they’re excited to share the same things with customers at their new consignment shop, Just Between Friends.

“We’ve known each other since high school and this has always been a dream of Tammy’s,” said AbuAdas. “I’m just really happy to be a part of it and get to know our customers.”

Located just on the edge of downtown Tryon is the cozy, two-story building now playing home to country primitive antiques and southern pottery, as well as women’s clothing and accessories.

Elkins credits her in-laws as a catalyst for her desire to get into antiques and consignment. The couple for 40 years owned Elkins Antiques in Weaverville. Elkins said much of the inventory has come from their warehouse.

Jewelry on the other hand is

another passion Elkins shares with AbuAdas. The two said they seek out options that give customers a variety of price points and styles to choose from.

“We also proudly sell custom handmade stone and sterling/pew-ter jewelry by designer Tena Cole, also of Weaverville,” Elkins said.

Saluda Community Land Trust (SCLT) board members enjoyed a two-day organiza-tional workshop during Janu-ary and February with two lo-cal facilitators, Lisa and Jim Murphy of J. W. Murphy &

Associates. A grant from the Polk Coun-

ty Community Foundation al-lowed the 5-year-old land trust to reflect on where they have been, where they want to go in the future and how to get there.

The grant also allowed fund-ing for a community night, where SCLT members and friends were invited to enjoy a covered dish supper at the Saluda Inn and Wine Cellar.

This gave board members a

chance to hear their neighbor’s input on current and future projects, as well as let the com-munity know some of SCLT’s plans and ideas.

In an effort to expand the knowledge and understanding of the flora and fauna of Polk County, the Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and botanist, David Camp-bell need your help in locat-ing this month’s “Most Wanted-Habitat.”

Seeking out Polk County’s most wanted-habitathelp locating a special habitat that may be suitable for the Green Salamander (Aneides aeneus). Of the more than 60 known species of salamander in North Carolina,

the Green Sala-mander is the only species that is listed by the state of North Carolina as En-dangered. The

Green Salamander is also consid-ered a federal Special Concern.

The Green Salamander is most commonly found in the Appala-chian Mountains, from southwest-

Polk County’s Most Wanted

Plants

ern Pennsylvania south/southwest to Central Alabama, with isolated, “disjunct,” populations occurring in the Hickory Nut Gorge and Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, Upstate South Carolina, and the mountains of Georgia. For most of the year, the Green Salamander can be found in the crevices of shaded rock outcrops in mixed mesophytic (moist) forests. The rock outcrops are usually shaded by rhododendron, hemlock or other fairly dense cover; rocks that get a lot of sun do not provide a suitable habitat for the Green Salamander.

The rocks need to have damp/humid crevices; they cannot be wet nor have water running over them. The crevices need to be free of dirt and they need to be fairly narrow; Green Salamanders like to feel the rock on their backs. Any crevices that house crickets will not contain the Green Salamander; however, the salamanders will

cohabitate with slugs.With the warm temperatures of

spring, Green Salamanders should be emerging from deep within the rock crevices. The salamanders will begin to establish territories and find mates. They can be found in rock crevices during the day, and on wet evenings they will come out to forage on the rock surface and on the surrounding forest floor. Females lay their eggs in mid to late June and remain with the eggs for the three months it takes for them to develop and hatch.

Green Salamanders are also arboreal and spend part of their lives in the canopy of tall hard-wood trees; therefore, mid-spring through mid-fall, they can be hard to find since most will be up in the trees. In autumn, as the leaves begin to change color and let go of their stems, Green Salamanders begin retreating to the protective cover of crevices in rock outcrops. In the winter, they are hidden deep within the rock and out of sight.

Green Salamanders have a

Adults have a flattened head and body, and long legs with large feet and squared toes. The belly is unmarked and pale. Adult sala-

manders measure 8-14 centime-ters long.

The Green Salamander has been found in many of the coun-ties surrounding Polk County, in North Carolina and Upstate South Carolina. There is a historical record of the species presence

Due to the rainy weather on Feb. 22, the Pacolet Area Con-servancy (PAC) had to cancel the hike scheduled for that day. The hike to Ashmore Heritage Preserve has been rescheduled for Friday, March 8. Participants will head to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources managed Preserve, for a 4-mile, moderate hike. Pam Torlina, PAC’s Land Protection Specialist, will lead the hike, an out and back with a loop. The trek starts on the newly opened Mountain Bridge Passage Trail (MBPT), meandering through a mature forest. After entering the Preserve, the MBPT will lead hik-ers along a cascading stream and to a beautiful waterfall. Hikers will back track and pick up a loop trail that leads around Lake Wattacoo, a man-made lake at the base of Campbell Mountain/the Blue Wall escarpment. Then hikers will fol-low a stream back to the MBPT and back to their vehicles. The preserve features a natural bog, which creates favorable habitat for rare plants and other species unique to the region.

If you are interested in attending the PAC hike at Ashmore Heritage Preserve, please contact the PAC office to sign up by phone at 828-859-5060 or e-mail, [email protected].

Hikers will be meeting at the Gowensville Spinx at 8:30 a.m. to check in and start the approximate-

ly 45-minute drive to the trailhead. Hikers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear; bring a bag lunch and/or snack and plenty of water. Please be sure to bring any personal medication that you may require. Hikers should be prepared to return to the area by 3 p.m., at the latest. In case of inclement weather, please contact the PAC office by 8:15 a.m. on the day of the hike to

see if the hike will take place.If you cannot make this hike

but would like to attend future hikes, please visit PACs website, www.pacolet.org, or go to PACs Facebook page, www.facebook.com/pacoletarea.conservancy, for information on upcoming hikes. The next hike is scheduled for March 15 at Pisgah National For-est; the Cove Creek and Caney

Bottoms trails.PAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit

conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to Protect and Conserve the area’s natural resources (PAC’s mission). PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agree-ments) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, for-ests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain significant fed-eral, state, and local tax benefits. PAC’s vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural heritage and a goal to pro-vide a legacy that will endure and be valued by generations to come. PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conser-vation and provide education programs emphasizing responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love.

PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agree-ments) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious

natural resources (open lands, for-ests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain significant fed-eral, state, and local tax benefits. PACs vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural resources and or goal is to provide a legacy that will endure and be valued by generations to come. PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encour-age conservation and provide education programs emphasizing native species appreciation and responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love.
