| Saluda Garden Club |
|
Recently seen in a magazine was a story on gardening mentors. Obviously this suggests that more experienced gardeners assist and advise novices or those who would like to know more. Great idea! The following paragraph, however, proceeded to list the charges per hour of these mentors. The old adage must be true: There are no free lunches. The new adage: There are no free mentors either.
What spirit of community we would have if Saluda had free mentors for our residents who want to learn! We would make new friends and have an even more beautiful town.
If you would like to be a mentor to someone in this community, just let us know. We could get a good thing going! Sometimes even the best news travels fast, especially if you tell those of us in the club who want to learn too. As they say on the tv marathons: Pick up that phone, dial that number (749-5971) and become a mentor for a would-be gardener.
The next meeting of the Saluda Garden Club will be February 18th, 10:00 a.m. at the Public Library. This first meeting of the year we will be planning for the summer and we welcome any who would like to join us.
Tip of the month: When planting in large containers, use 100% hardwood charcoal. It reduces the amount of soil needed, improves drainage, is lightweight and can be reused from season to season. Sure beats those "white peanuts."

What is it?
The Saluda Community Land Trust, Inc. (also known as "SCLT," pronounced "skillet") is a local organization formed to preserve the traditional rural character of the greater Saluda area.
Who are we?
We, the members of SCLT, are your neighbors, acquaintances, and friends. We became members by simply paying the small annual membership fee. Every member is entitled to vote at our open meetings on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of every month at 3 o'clock at the Saluda Library.
Memberships are open to all, annually renewable, and cost $25.00 per year.
What does SCLT do?
We work to preserve the local lands through conservation easements and/or obtaining lands, thus inhibiting the kind of rampant development which has overtaken so many of our neighboring communities. We work toward the development of greenways and corridors, safe places to walk, such as those that the Saluda School children may take to school and back. We also support traditional agricultural land uses such as working forests and family owned farms and gardens, protecting those lands by helping the landowners garner some income from their lands while creating local markets for the benefit of the whole community.
What are we doing now?
At present, and still in our infancy, we are working on easements and acquisitions that would protect more than a hundred acres in the Saluda area. We are processing the multitude of grant applications to obtain funding from the State of N.C. for those easements, which would allow us to achieve our goal of protecting Saluda's rural character.
We are applying for funds to develop a plan that would create not only a safe corridor for children to walk to the Saluda School, but also for neighbors of all ages to walk in various sections of the greater Saluda area. We are also applying for funds to create an educational working forest on that trail system. We urge others to join us to enhance our sense of community and to empower all residents to use their voices to guide the future of our community.

| City Notes |
|
|
The Saluda Board of Commissioners passed the long-awaited proposed revisions of the city's zoning ordinance.
Part of the proposed ordinance change is the addition of a multiple use commercial district, called a C-3 buffer district. In a voluntary annexation, the city has gained a little over half an acre just outside city limits in the Ozone Drive Corridor area to establish a C-3 district.
Other commercial districts include the city's historical commercial district (C-H), downtown restricted commercial use district (C-1) and restricted commercial use district (C-2).
Provision included in the revised ordinance is the prohibition in C-H, C-1 and C-2 districts of the following uses:
· High impact land uses
· Sexually oriented businesses, tattoo parlors and body piercing establishments
· Junk yards and storage trailers and storage containers not subject to being registered and licensed by the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles
This prohibition means that such uses would be allowed only in the new C-3 district.
Several additions to the city's sign provisions are included in the new proposal, including several restrictions for C-1 and C-H districts. Under the proposal, pole signs would not be allowed in the C-H district and in the C-1 district shall be no higher than 12 feet above the ground. Signs in the C-H and C-1 districts would be restricted to a maximum of 32 square feet.
Businesses in the C-1 and C-H districts are limited to one square foot of signage per lineal foot of building frontage upon any public or private road access, provided no sign exceeds the maximum size. No off-premise advertising or directional signs or portable advertising or directional signs would be permitted.
Provisions are included for lighting and landscaping, including that ten percent of the total parking area must be landscaped in the C-2 district. Landscaping requirements would apply to new commercial construction and to renovation or repair of a commercial building where the cost exceeds 60 percent of the value of the building prior to renovation.
The new 40+-page zoning ordinance is available and can be requested and sent via email by contacting Doris Marion at 828-749-2581 or email saludaclerk@charterinternet.com

Snowfall in Saluda |
|
 After several seasons with little or no snow, Saluda residents were excited to see the snow-covered hills in Saluda. A fast-moving winter storm left about six inches of snow and more than 10 days later there's still snow on the ground. This picture was taken by Carey and Beverly Pickard.
Here are other photo ops during the snowfall.

Please mark your calendar for Friday, February 1st from 5:30 - 7:00 pm and join us for a very special evening. This event is held at the Skyland Arts Center on Main Street in Hendersonville, NC

The Whole House Was Vibrating by author Joe Adams |
|
For two days I felt this vibration. I'm deaf so I couldn't hear anything but the house was vibrating as if we were living in a trailer during an earthquake. Finally I went upstairs to investigate. My wife was in her office shredding everything in sight. She had bought a heavy duty shredder and was systematically eliminating every evidence that we existed.
She claimed she was protecting us from identity theft. But I tried to tell her if she shredded everything, we wouldn't know who we were. She said in a couple of years we wouldn't know anyway and she wasn't so sure I even knew now.
But I hated seeing all the stuff shredded--she was loving the whirring of the shredder and
kept stuffing things into it.
"Is that our marriage license you have there?" I asked.
She said "Sure. We don't need it. We've been married more than 50 years and nobody has ever asked to see it. Besides, it's written in German and no one could read it anyway."
I tried to tell her that she might have to show it to get all my goodies when I die. But she said she planned to shred any of my goodies that would fit in the shredder. The woman has gone crazy. She did the same thing last year with dozens of photo albums. She ripped out pictures of our daughters and gave them to each of them. The rest she was going to throw away. Fortunately I was able to get them away from her. I know that in a few years I probably won't remember who the people are (there's some now that I don't recognize!) but the photos are hard evidence that we had a life...and in all of the pictures, we were smiling.
She says people always smile when they see a camera and it doesn't mean we were having
a good time just because we were smiling. I suppose she's right. A camera does sort of
say, "Cheese."
But I love the photo albums...it's like a stroll down memory lane. I also have a drawer full of pictures that people have sent me at Christmas time...mainly photos of their kids at various ages. I never throw any of them away. I may need to lock them up now that The Grim Shredder is in the house. I don't recognize a lot of these people already, but it's a good mental game to try to figure out who they are. I have a Chinese friend so I can always recognize her daughter, Gloria. And I have pictures of her from age one until she just got ready to go to Harvard.
They sell a lot of shredders at Staples so my wife probably isn't the only one that's into shredding. My wife shreds all of our junk mail, which doesn't seem necessary. But she
doesn't want anybody stealing our name and address either...or the fact that we buy cheap
clothes from Haband.
I guess I should be more concerned about identify theft but the world has tried to give me so many other things to be fearful about, I'm afraid I'll start shaking like that shredder. I'm really not afraid of anything...and I don't want to start.
"I'm coming into your room next," my wife yells and I'm shredding all those old newspaper clippings you have from junior high."
"Those are MY clippings!" I yell back. "They're the first things that I wrote for publication and you might need them if someone wants to do my life story."
"You were the editor of the newspaper," she said, "And that's the only reason they got published."
She's right about that. But what's the point of being editor if you can't publish your own stuff.

Purple Power Comes to Saluda!
There is a great deal of media coverage and Internet information on the benefits of drinking juice derived from the amazing, deep purple berry, acai (ah-sah-'ee) that is coming to worldwide recognition as a SUPERFOOD. The berry grows only in Amazonia (the rainforest area) in Brazil atop palm trees unique to that location. The company, Mona-Vie, is harvesting, freeze-drying, and then blending this fruit, rich in anti-oxidants and phytonutrients (plus 18 other fruits from around the world) into their juice blend. Mona-Vie, the fastest growing privately owned company in America, is having a positive impact on Brazil's economics, and, through their M.O.R.E Project is improving daily lives in Brazil and, through their product, the world including Saluda, NC.
Exciting for Saluda, as the juice is only available through Independent Distributors, is that quite a few "locals" are enjoying its benefits and sharing it in our community. A non-alcoholic aperitif will soon be added to one of our local premier restaurant's beverage menu for your enjoyment. We'll clue you in where to go next month!
To try out a sample the juice and try adding it to your daily nutrition to promote wellness please contact Brandon Reynolds at winifredbrandonreynolds@yahoo.com
