The Italians Are Coming!
|
|
Mayor
Gianfranco D'Isabella and wife, Paola,
from Saluda's Sister City of Carunchio, Italy will be visiting us for a week beginning March 19th. They will be accompanied by Christiana Criscio, one of the owners of the 1700's palace and cooking school at the top of the town of Carunchio where so many Saludians have stayed.
 In 2015, a delegation from Saluda led by former City Commissioner Lynn Cass visited Carunchio and was warmly welcomed. At a formal ceremony at the Carunchio City Hall, the official documents were presented making Saluda and Carunchio "Sister Cities." Now it is OUR TURN! We have taken our citizens and friends there on wonderful vacations since 2014 to learn Italian cooking, eat great food, drink local red wine and explore the Province of Abruzzo. Now they are coming to learn about us, our culture, our economy and our business base. The two towns are so similar except Saluda is much more vibrant. We are at the same altitude, same latitude, same population numbers and both have a solid agricultural base, wine vineyards and love music.
Preparations are under way for a city-wide celebration to include:
a City Commission special meeting to welcome the visitors and present gifts, followed by a reception. Both will be at the venue above the library:
- a covered dish supper with typical "southern" foods and "ole timey music" concert at the historic Lola's Celebration Venue above Thompson's Store with everyone invited or as many as will fit in;
- visits to all the Saluda shops, restaurants and historic Depot;
- visits to cultural, business and outdoor venues in the Polk and Henderson County area.
Saluda businesses are stepping up to make this a very special visit. The Purple Onion, Saluda Grade Cafe, Wildfour Bakery and Green River Barbeque are all donating food and meals. The Oaks B&B and Orchard Inn are providing complementary accommodations. Everyone is pitching in to make our guests feel really welcome!
All the details will be available in the March Saluda Lifestyles. We will be purchasing banners and flags to show the town's support of the "sister city" and to welcome our visitors. If you would like to make a donation to help with these expenses, please make checks payable to City of Saluda and note on the Memo "Saluda Downtown Foundation Sister City." Plan to get involved in welcoming the Carunchio mayor. To volunteer, contact Judy Thompson at 828-489-6578 or

Preserving Saluda's Past for its Future
Preserving Your Family Treasures - "Trunk of Trouble" Next Featured Program
Presented by Heather South,
Lead Archivist with
t
he Western Regional Archives, a branch of the State Archives of North Carolina
The Historic Saluda Committee is pleased to announce a new program series called Step Back in History which will feature programs pertaining to Saluda's rich history or historic preservation. The next program will be held on Saturday, March 10, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. in the upstairs meeting room at the Saluda Public Library. FREE
The Western Regional Archives, a branch of the State Archives of North Carolina, is a regional repository for historical collections and research but is also a go-to source for preservation information. Using a "Trunk of Trouble," Lead Archivist Heather South will share basic care, handling, and storage instructions for taking care of your family documents and photographs. It could be your grandfather's WWII letters home, your parent's wedding photos, or even your high school scrapbook; there are always historical treasures we want to save and preserve for future generations.
The hour-long program is suitable for researchers, teachers, students, genealogists and anyone interested in learning the basics of archival preservation. The free program provides insight on where to start and shares ideas for inexpensive solutions to frequent troubles. "The Trunk of Trouble" uses examples and samples all about the do's and don'ts of preservation for books, papers, and photographs. It's informative and fun so come join in on the preservation conversation!
"The Trunk of Trouble!" is led by lead archivist Heather South with the Western Regional Archives. South came to the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources to open their western branch in 2012. She has over 20 years' experience working in archives and preservation, is a certified archivist, and a National Heritage Responder. She loves Western North Carolina and enjoys sharing her passion for archives and preserving historical treasures.
All ages are welcome and refreshments will be served. Additional programs will be offered throughout 2018. Stay tuned!
Thank you to Marty and Bob Payton!
We appreciate the large box of donated items from Marty and Bob Payton containing historical documents, books, photographs and cassette tapes containing early oral history interviews. Marty and Bob recently relocated from Hendersonville to Oregon to be nearer to their adult children. Prior to their move, they filled a box full of treasures to donate to the Historic Saluda Committee. Marty was an early supporter of the HSC and involved with its formation. Their donation will contribute to our ability to continue to protect, archive and preserve Saluda's history for future generations!
Sharing Encouraged
We frequently receive donations of old photographs, historical documents or other artifacts relating to Saluda. Often folks loan them to us to scan and digitize. This is a great way to preserve your family history or the history of the town. The Historic Saluda Committee uses archival quality materials to store donated items. Collections are often shared on Facebook and on the website. Donations are accepted at the Saluda Public Library and Saluda City Hall. Contact us at

"Fly Away Home"
|
You may remember the family drama filmed in Canada about the young girl who finds a nest of goose eggs. When the goslings hatch, she is the first living thing they see and they "imprint" on her and never leave her side. The story is about her challenges while teaching them how to fly south to a protective wetland in North Carolina.
The story is similar to the migratory inhabitants in the mountains who abandon their summer homes in Saluda for milder climates south during the winter. Although they appreciate the milder temperatures of the southern borders, Saluda is "imprinted" on their minds and they long for their mountain homes.
For those Saludians who stay put in Saluda during the winter, there is much to appreciate. Winter brings its own masterpieces of art with mountainsides covered with rhododendron, mountain laurel, and evergreens and frozen water falls and crystallized lakes, rivers and creeks.
Saludians retake the local shops and restaurants and delight in the delicious winter comfort foods, do lots of outdoor activities like walks in the woods, mountain hiking, and visit
the higher mountains for snow sports. Wood smoke permeates the air creating visions of cozy, crackling fireplaces and stoves.
February in Saluda is a special place to celebrate romance and love. It's a time to savor Saluda's
restaurants
and be welcomed with warmth and friendly hospitality in one of Saluda's
charming B&B's, cabins, or lodge
s
. Only in Saluda can you "Champagne toast" your loved one while flying down 1100 feet over old growth forests at The Gorge Zipline!

Greatest Hits Of 2017
Wine Dinner
February 13 @ 6:30 Pm
Ok, our greatest hits are obviously fairly subjective and include only seven of the many wines which we enjoyed at the Purple Onion during 2017, but we thought it would be fun to share some favorites with you, our fellow tasters. We will be including a few best buys that we keep around our homes for enjoying any day as well as some we consider special occasion wines. Join us on February 13 at 6:30 to see what we came up with. All wines will be available to order for you to enjoy at home. The cost for the tasting is $49 and includes a taste of the seven wines as well as several of Chef Chambli's small plates chosen to pair well with the wines. Reservations are required and can be made by calling The Purple Onion at 828-749-1179.
The Steel Wheels
February 18 @ 7 Pm
It is an honor to welcome back
The Steel Wheels
to the Purple Onion stage on February 18
as part of our Sunday Concert Series.
The performance begins at 7 PM. The doors open at 5 PM. Pizza, salads and appetizers will be available from 5 until 6:45 with beverages and desserts available during the show. Admission is $30 per person in advance, $35 at the door and seating will be limited. Reservations can be made

"There is purity and power in the sound of this band that few come close to tapping. Tight pickin', passionate energy, and Wagler's voice soars like an eagle."
Martin Anderson, WNCW Music Director
"What sets The Steel Wheels apart from many bands is the combination of their stellar instrumentals, accentuated by the one of a kind lead vocal of [Trent] Wagler, and keenly supported by strong harmonies. Eric Brubaker on fiddle, Jay Lapp on mandolin, and Brian Dickel on bass weave in and out intricately throughout their latest album, Wild As We Came Here, painting vivid imagery which flows effortlessly, just teasing the lyrics enough to allow them to resonate within you." - Country Standard Time
"Riverwebs" Film Screening
February 20 @ 5:30 Pm
Join MountainTrue and the Green Riverkeeper at the Purple Onion in Saluda on Tuesday, February 20th from 5:30 to 7:30 as we screen RiverWebs, Freshwater Illustrated's award-winning documentary about river ecosystems and the science that explores them. This film follows the life and work of Dr. Shigeru Nakano as he attempted to understand how streams and forests depend on each other and his team who carried on this work after his tragic death. RiverWebs illustrates how the movements and behaviors of insects, in both the stream and the forest, influence their predators, like fish, bats, birds, and spiders.
Stick around after the screening for a presentation about how MountainTrue monitors for stream quality in WNC and how you can get involved in our Stream Monitoring Information Exchange (SMIE) program. We will wrap up the evening with a Q&A with the Green Riverkeeper MountainTrue's Water Quality Administrator and some current SMIE volunteers. This event is free and open to the public; however, if you plan to have dinner with us, we suggest you make a reservation either online or by calling 828-749-1179. Twenty percent of all food sales for the evening will be donated to
MountainTrue

Painting The Town/Mastering The Cityscape
March 22-24, 2018 Thursday-Saturday
The Impressionists have always been captivated by the life, design, allure, and light of the city.  Contemporary Impressionist painters still are, from the cafes in Paris, to the fascination of New York, to Main Street, Saluda.
Jim Carson, AIS, will offer a workshop, titled "Painting the Town/ Mastering the Cityscape", on Thursday-Saturday, March 22-24, 2018. This is a different date than was first published. In this indoor workshop, we will learn to simplify the shapes and design of the city, in order to paint it in a fresh and spontaneous manner, instead of stiff and lifeless.
The workshop is open to all levels, from beginners to advanced. A list of paint selections, brushes, etc. will be furnished after registration.
Jim is a member of Plein Air Painters of the Southeast(PAPSE), an Associate member of Oil Painters of America, and a Signature Member of the American Impressionist Society.

Big News at The Gorge!
"More fun and a whole lot easier!" That's what we're hearing from The Gorge as they unveil their new state-of-the-art Free Ride system. Coming online March 3rd, the steepest and fastest zipline canopy tour in the USA once again raises the bar for aerial adventure.
 Designed to improve their guests' experience, all zipliners have to do now is lean back and enjoy the view and "stick the landing" every time.
The new Free Ride System is totally stress free, allowing riders to experience the canopy tour without hand braking, timing the release of handlebars or pulling themselves in if they stop short of the platform. Engineered by Bonsai Designs, the current design leader in the aerial adventure industry, the system moves participant handlebars further away from the cable, creating a smoother ride and eliminating any hand-over-hand pulling for lighter guests with a fully integrated retrieval system.
"We're thrilled about the introduction of the new Free  Ride system. We pay close attention to new technology being introduced in the aerial adventure industry, and have been waiting years for this. Not only are we able to install a system that improves the overall safety of ziplining, but to make our course even more accessible to visitors." Says Sara Bell, owner of The Gorge. "Combining new products that allow for a more comfortable experience, speed up platform wait time, and eliminate participants' interaction with the cable in a way that allows them to do what they came here to do - fly through The Gorge without a distraction - is a huge win for our guests."
Course Manager, Ben Seidman, weighs in with some of the technical aspects of the new addition. "We are the steepest and fastest zipline canopy tour in the country, and in order to eliminate hand braking, we rely on a state of the art braking system that is calibrated for participants weighing between 70 and 250 lbs. One limiting factor for us has been that lighter participants stop short of the platform and have been required to pull themselves hand-over-hand along the cable to reach the platform. Not any more!"
The addition of this system will allow a larger demographic of the population to participate in what many call 'the ride of a lifetime', plunging into the rugged, untouched wilderness of the Green River Gorge.
 Valentine's Day at The Gorge Zipline
Need an absolute win this Valentine's Day? Be the adventurous couple...go zip The Gorge! Their Valentine's Day zips come with a champagne toast!

Saluda Outfitters is proud to announce the addition of a store operations manager. Andy Hendrix, who has served as general manager of Sunrift Adventures in Travelers Rest, S.C., since 2015, will join the staff in mid-February.
"We are super excited to have Andy come on board to lead our business team, which encompasses the Saluda Outfitters retail store, along with some additional surprises to be announced in the 2018 season," said owner Ryan Griffin. "Andy has the professional knowledge and experience to be instrumental in taking Saluda Outfitters to the next level."
Hendrix has an extensive history working in the outdoor adventure industry. An Atlanta native, Hendrix studied business management and marketing at Kennesaw State University while also establishing a career in the outdoor retail industry with Orvis. Hendrix gained additional experience through his work with the Cherokee Retreat Center in Georgia where he was director of hospitality and facilities,
Appalachian Rivers Rafting Co. in North Carolina, where he acted as raft guide and trip leader offering whitewater and fly fishing experiences, and Mountain High Outfitters in Nashville, where he was store general manager.
After moving to South Carolina to be near his wife's (Jessie Burns Hendrix) family and just prior to joining Sunrift, Hendrix worked inside sales for RavX, Inc., a sporting goods and bicycle shop.
"Andy can offer Saluda Outfitters quality leadership in planning and implementing new areas of business, while expanding staff training and building on what we already feel is superior customer service at our store," Griffin said. "It has been a better than expected first year of business for Saluda Outfitters and we appreciate the support provided by the local and surrounding communities. We are excited to expand on our vision of making Saluda Outfitters the local resource for outdoor enthusiasts."
Hendrix, an Eagle Scout, said he is excited to become part of the Saluda Outfitters family and part of the small but growing and developing community of Saluda.
"I am excited to be part of that growth. I hope to help increase business at Saluda Outfitters while working with other businesses in the area to help make Saluda grow," he said.
Describing himself as an "experiential learner," Hendrix said "That's what I love about the outdoors. There's so much you can translate from paddling, biking or climbing or any other outdoor pursuit to the real world."
As for what he sees he can bring to Saluda Outfitters, Hendrix said: "The biggest thing I can bring is an understanding of the different aspects of the changing retail space. I don't think shops can be just a retail environment. They have to provide a broader selection of services than a regular retailer does. I hope to expand services to make Saluda Outfitters more than a retail shop and more of a hub in the community."
In other news, congratulations to Don Bryant of Flat Rock, N.C., for winning the Bellyak prize package sponsored by Saluda Outfitters during WTZQ 95.3 Radio's The Great Holiday Give-A-Way. We appreciate everyone who dropped by the store to register and hope that, although you didn't win the big prize, you walked away with some great deals for your holiday shopping.
Please mark your calendars for the "Have a HeArt for Big Brother Big Sister" annual fundraiser. The event kicked off Jan. 27 with a reception sponsored by Saluda Outfitters. The silent auction continues through Feb. 10 just in time for Valentine's Day. All art is heart-themed pieces donated by area artists and displayed at the Upstairs Artspace in Tryon. For more details or to become a sponsor of this youth mentoring program, call 828-859-9230 or email

Foundation Funds Duke TIP, Education Investments
|
|
|
The Polk County Community Foundation is pleased to announce that full scholarships will be available for qualifying students in Polk County and Landrum to attend Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) Summer Studies camps in 2018 and 2019. Interested students must be in the seventh or ninth grade in 2018 and 2019 to be eligible for a merit scholarship to attend Summer Studies camps in those years. The Foundation has not secured funding for merit scholarships in 2020 or subsequent years, but is actively pursuing all opportunities to continue this extraordinary program.
Duke TIP is dedicated to serving academically talented students by working with students, families, and educators to identify and help students reach their highest potential. Duke TIP students are invited to take either the SAT or the ACT college entrance exams as seventh graders and those with qualifying scores may apply for the Summer Studies Program. These three-week camps occur on college campuses across North Carolina and Georgia and allow students to take part in interactive, inquiry-based courses that are equivalent to semester-long college courses.
Beginning in 2013, the Foundation's Board of Directors voted to approve a three-year pilot program to completely fund local middle and high school students' attendance at Duke TIP Summer Studies camps. Five years later, more than 125 full scholarships have been awarded to students in Polk County and Landrum who qualified for Duke TIP's Summer Studies Programs and student interest continues to grow.
Students and their families have overwhelmingly reported that the intellectual and social growth Duke TIP provided was a positive force in their lives, with students characterizing the experience as the "highlight" of their summer and "life-changing." Students have also stated that this program boosted their confidence, bringing some out of their shell by providing an environment in which they better fit in socially. Parents have also noted the positive influence of this program, including one parent who stated that her child came back from the experience more self-assured which created a positive ripple effect in her entire family.
In addition to supporting Duke TIP scholarships, the Foundation provides a variety of funding for other educational programs, including support for:
Polk County Schools Summer Seminar camps where local teachers lead week-long seminars for local students at no cost.
Professional development trainings and conferences for local teachers and school guidance counselors.
Student intern programs at local nonprofit organizations and at the Polk County High School Farm.
A college advisor at Polk County High School and Early College.
The band program at Polk County High School so all students may play in the band, regardless of their ability to pay for this extracurricular activity.
Artist-in-residence programs at O.P. Earle Elementary and Landrum Middle schools, which culminate in "Kessler Cultural Evening" community receptions.
By providing funding for these programs and many others, the Foundation seeks to enrich the lives of all local students, their families and the community.
The Foundation is dedicated to advancing philanthropy and improving the quality of life for all citizens in our community through the generous support of donors. For more information about scholarship donor opportunities, including Duke TIP merit scholarships in 2020 or subsequent years, or other charitable giving options, please contact Elizabeth Nager at the Polk County Community Foundation by stopping by our offices at 255 S. Trade Street in Tryon or by calling (828) 859-5314.

Home Improvements

February is time to start thinking about those home improvements, repairs, and remodeling you are planning for spring. To line up your contractors and handyman, be sure to download the Saluda Service Directory or pick up at Beverly-Hanks office or Entegra Bank.
Making Your Saluda Home More Beautiful
The interior of our homes and businesses are as much a part of our daily landscape as the natural beauty that surrounds and is Saluda. While many of us may wish to spend more time in our gardens, on the river, or just taking in that fresh mountain air, much of our lives must go on inside. If you would like to improve your interior landscape with an upgrade to your kitchen or bathroom, but do not want the expense and hassle of tearing it apart and replacing it, consider having your countertops, bathtubs, and showers resurfaced by a skilled technician.
Photos of resurfaced sink before and after resurfacing.
Before
After
A local business in Polk County, ecocountertopsUSA delivers professional service at a fraction of the cost of what new will cost you, and all work can normally be completed in a single day.
Additionally, the numerous available colors ensure that most any interior design can be matched to provide a solid surface look that will certainly enhance the view of your living and working spaces.
For questions or to schedule an appointment for a free estimate, call Tim Bennett at (828) 817-3478 or email him at [email protected].

Tucked Away Treasures
|
|
 Tucked away in various places in Saluda are many wonderful trees. Some of these special trees are natives and others are non-natives. Some were planted long ago by persons long forgotten and others were allowed to naturalize in place. All, however, are part of the natural legacy to be appreciated today by all of us whether native, new comers, or visitors.
The Pacolet Area Conservancy, now merged with Conserve Carolina, undertook a project spanning several years in the early 1990s to promote conservation of the area's natural heritage by seeking out and listing noteworthy tree specimens as "Treasured Trees." During two periods of this project, two Saluda residents, Dave Prudhome and I, were instrumental at different times in the effort to identify and list outstanding specimens in the town.
The "Treasured Trees" noted in this article are but a few of the many in our town which appear on the conservancy's list and which make Saluda such a green haven. As you seek them out, you might ponder the lives of those who have made their contribution to our natural heritage and, at the same time, you may wish to think about what your contribution to that legacy might be.
The first concentration of "Treasured Trees" on the Conservancy's list that are easily accessible are to be found at Ivy Terrace on Main Street. There are eight listed trees at this location: 2 California incense cedars (Calocedrus decurrens California), 2 China firs (Cunninghamia lanceolate), a Norway spruce (Picea abies), an umbrella magnolia (Magnolia tripetala), a red maple (Acer rubrum), and an Eastern hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis). These trees date from the early 1890s when Capt. W. G. Henson of Charleston built Ivy Terrace as a summer retreat for his family.
 A second location that is particularly well endowed with noteworthy specimens is the grounds of the Church of the Transfiguration on Charles Street. Trees of special note there include a dawn redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) planted in the early 1970s as a memorial to a Gen. Myer-a WWII veteran who spent several summers in Saluda in his later years, a Norway spruce (Pices abies), a northern red oak (Quercus rubra), and a red maple (Acer rubrum) in the lower church yard. Two
additional species of note here are several Eastern white pines (Pinus strobus) and an American holly (Ilex opaca). One additional noteworthy tree can be seen across the driveway that the church shares with Charles Street Garden. This chestnut oak (Quercus prinus) is the second largest of this specie to be found on the PAC listing. 
Yet a third location that provides a concentrated display of "Treasured Trees" is to be found near the corner of Henderson and Gaffney Streets. In this instance, they are all of one specie-the tulip poplar (yellow poplar) (Liriodendron tulipifera). Five stately specimens can be viewed from this corner by looking up Gaffney and down Henderson. Several additional specimens no less worthy of being listed exist within the same two blocks.
As a footnote, floating around Saluda there is a panoramic photograph taken from Smith Hill at the end of the nineteenth century or the very beginning of the twentieth century. As far as the eye can see, what is now Saluda had been clear cut with only a few mature trees remaining here and there. As the lumber companies left, real estate developers arrived and parcels were sold to folks hungry for land on which to build a summer getaway. Saluda rapidly came into its own and nature healed its wounds.
Again, what will be the legacy for Saluda's future generations: a landscape sterile, predictable, and devoid of magnificent specimen trees or one rich in all of nature's variety?
