Thompson Store - A Sign of the Times |
|
We truly regret having to write this to inform you all that Thompson's Store and Ward's Grill in Saluda, NC is going out of business. The downturn of the economy has struck us a very hard blow, and with Larry's health also being an issue, we can no longer maintain this business as it should be. We will continue to operate the grill and the store through February 13, 2010, two weeks, to give someone an opportunity to make an offer for the property and business. We still believe it is a viable business, and very important to the people and the town of Saluda. Numerous people have talked to us and have expressed a desire to keep it going, now is the time to act. If no one comes forward to purchase it, we will have to begin a "going out of business sale" on February 15. We would like to thank all of you who have supported us, and hope you can understand that closing this place is not something we wish to do, however, the economy and health have mandated it.
You can reach the Jackson's at:

Saluda Community Land Trust |
|
Thanks to the generosity of the Polk County Community Foundation, Saluda Community Land Trust (SCLT) members were able to visit and learn from several successful small land trusts in Massachusetts and Vermont. One of the lessons learned was to "use what you have" and build community by improving or expanding upon what is already good in the neighborhood. Saluda's greatest asset is its beautiful natural surroundings. The City of Saluda owns 18 acres within the city limits that will make a wonderful nature park. Because a two-acre portion of the property was once used as a dump, and kudzu has made a home at the capped dump site, converting the property to a nature park will take time and energy. But it is a beautiful piece of land, well worth the effort to save. The project will not be done "in a day," for sure; it's more like a five- year project with the first step being the hardest. SCLT and the City of Saluda are gearing up to organize volunteer work teams to work on Saturday mornings beginning in March. We'd love to have your help and energy. It is a great project, making better one of the most valuable assets to the community, the natural beauty surrounding us. Call SCLT at 749-1560 or City Hall at 749-2581 if you want to be part of the team.
Our meetings will be Wednesdays February 3 and 17 at 3:00 in the Presbyterian meeting room.

Free Workshop by Kathy Tyrrell |
|
Kathy Tyrrell invites you to a free introduction workshop on "The Work" by Katie Byron. "The Work is simply four questions that, when applied to a specific problem, enable you to see what is troubling you in an entirely different light. As Katie says, 'It's not the problem that causes our suffering: it's our thinking about the problem.' Contrary to popular belief, trying to let go of a painful thought never works: instead, once we have done The Work, the thought lets go of us. At that point, we can truly love what is, just as it is." Kathy would like to share what she has learned with others and will hold these workshops in her home on Tuesday 6-7pm and Friday 4-5pm. For more information, please contact Kathy at 828-674-2692. To find out more about "The Work of Byron Katie," please visit: www.thework.org |
February Healthy Lifestyles Challenge |
|
Health Challenge -Seek Sunshine During these dreary winter months, when the sun does come out, so should we. Any day that has some sunshine we need to get out and soak up the rays. (unless your Doctor has told you to stay out of the sun completely) Our bodies make vitamin D when our skin is exposed to sunlight. Resent studies have shown that many of us have a vitamin D deficiency, especially in the winter. Vitamin D deficiencies can cause fatigue, muscle and joint pain, sleep problems, compromised immune systems, and depression. It only takes a few minutes in the sunshine, without sunscreen, to keep our vitamin D levels up. A few minutes in the sun, in the morning, helps our body clocks to set and tells our bodies when to be awake and when to sleep. Exposure to sunlight can help prevent SAD, seasonal affective disorder, a type of depression caused by the lack of exposure to enough light. So, on days that we get sunshine, make a point to try to get out and enjoy it for a little while. You may see all kinds of health benefits.

Introducing Lorraine Whitson.....
![lorraine](http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs083/1000843024163/img/665.jpg?a=1102957812905)
Lorraine is our Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) and in that capacity provides many of the same services a nurse does, i.e. noting patients' presenting medical concerns, taking blood pressure, drawing blood, administering EKGs, preparing patients for the providers, and assisting the providers with procedures. Additionally, you can find Lorraine helping out at the front desk, greeting patients, and scheduling appointments. You might say Lorraine is a "local girl," having been born and raised in Columbus, graduating from Polk County High School (where she received her CNA though membership in HOSA), and working in the area after receiving her CCMA at Isothermal Community College. Her professional employment history includes working on the Geropsychology Unit at St. Luke's Hospital and the Alzheimer's Unit at Tryon Estates. She joined the Saluda Medical Center in June, 2009. Okay, enough of the credentials part. What you really should know (if you don't already) is that Lorraine is a very considerate and conscientious person who treats all patients with care, respect, and genuine interest. Patients appreciate how she establishes immediate rapport while escorting them to the examining room, as she prepares for the more clinical aspect of the visit. Lorraine truly embodies the "care" in "Healthcare." Soon, Lorraine plans to enroll in classes to become a Registered Nurse, a pursuit which along with raising three young children and her full time employment at the Center will keep her very busy. Our Newest Provider Look for the March issue of Lifestyles where you'll find an introduction of Julie Holley, a Family Nurse Practitioner who has joined our staff as a third provider, along with Dr. Jeff Viar, and Linda Barton.

Saluda - A Healing Place |
|
![snow pic](http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs083/1000843024163/img/678.jpg?a=1102957812905) Driving down the road looking over the pastoral fields and mountain tops of glistening white snow, I thought how elegant the long-laying snow had added to Saluda's charm.
Unlike, any year I remember, the icy snow still covered the shady wooded areas and roadsides for almost 30 days. Accompanying a first-time visitor to Saluda during this drive, I was reminded of my first visit to Saluda. Through her eyes I remembered how Saluda enchants people on a first visit. Saluda's unspoiled way of life is calming and refreshing. It's hard to describe why Saluda feels the way it does. It's many things--Chatting with the 80-year old proprietor of a 100 year-old general store who works six days a week and takes time to learn all about you. The comfort of a warm cup of soup sitting at the round table in the front of the Saluda Grade with sun beaming on your face. Taking a stroll down Main Street on a quiet winter day. Listening to the music at the Purple Onion with Saluda friends and neighbors. Watching friendly shop owners turning visitors into regulars. Sitting on a bench watching passersby. A friendly wave and smile as you pass on the street. Joyful sounds of kids playing at the playground and the school. Touring the shade covered streets of 100-year old Victorian homes. Stopping at the library to get a good book to curl up with. A visit to the post office that serves as a gathering place to meet and greet neighbors. Saluda is a healing lifestyle and that's why people choose to be here. |
Health and Wellness -- Body, Mind and Soul |
|
![megan ward](http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs083/1000843024163/img/433.jpg?a=1102957812905) Saluda has always been a healing place since the turn of the 20th century. Folks from the low country of South Carolina traveled on passenger trains to Saluda to escape summer's sweltering heat and mosquitoes. Because of its healthy mountain air, Dr. Lesesne Smith opened a baby hospital in Saluda and babies came from all over to be treated for respiratory problems. Today, Saluda has a variety of health and wellness providers in which Saluda citizens appreciate. They are:
The Saluda Medical Center, located a short distance from downtown Saluda, is a non-profit rural health center providing comprehensive quality medical care to all individuals, regardless of age, income, or health insurance status.

The Wine Cellar at the Saluda Inn
The Saluda Inn had some excited but cold guests this past month! Although it has been a while since it snowed, we still had a lot that would not go away.
One man from California was beside himself with excitement! His wife and her friends went out shopping and he took on the task of shoveling snow. This was his first time and really had a great time! Of course, it was a sunny beautiful day with a warm temperature of 50+. I invited him to come back anytime it snowed. Today it was as warm as spring and most of the snow is finally gone. Now I feel like I live in the South again! Carolina Wine Expert.com has some great wine and chocolate packages that can be ordered and mailed, delivered or picked up at The Wine Cellar. They feature chocolates from two local chocolate makers, French Broad and Black Mountain. The wines are matched to the chocolate truffles and chocolate tasting drops. We deliver all over the USA (where the law allows). Chocolate and Wine Flight with Cupid! The Wine Cellar at the Saluda Inn is taking reservations for a 6-wine and 6-chocolate tasting flight. A RICH way to spend an evening. Valentines Weekend February 11, 12 and 13. Live music on Friday and Saturday. The Wine Cellars Music and Art.

Jim Carson Outdoor Painting WorkshopsLocal artist, Jim Carson has announced his 2010 Workshop schedule. These workshops are "plein air" (outdoor) oil and acrylic and are entitled "Painting Fast And Loose/ Eliminating The Unnecessary." April 22-24 Macon, Ga. May 20-22 Cashiers, N.C. June 3-5 Saluda, N.C. Sept 23-25 Cashiers, N.C. Oct 7-9 Saluda, N.C. Oct. 28-39 Saluda, N.C. Nov. 4-6 Macon, Ga. The focus of these workshops will be to attempt to master the principal as stated by Pablo Picasso that "art is the elimination of the unnecessary." The three day workshops will be held at different outdoor locations each day and feature demonstrations by the artist and critiques of the student's work at the end of each day. The workshops will focus on simplifying large shapes and applying paint quickly and confidently, with an emphasis on color harmony, painterly marks and composition. For the Saluda workshops, the cost includes a "get acquainted" gathering at Carson's studio the night before the workshop, as well as a tasty catered lunch brought to the painting site each day by The Saluda Grade Café. Because of the popularity of the "Getting Perspective Right" workshop in January, Jim will schedule another one some time in the first part of the year, and the date will be announced here.
For more information, contact Jim at 828 7493702 or visit www.jimcarson.net, or email [email protected].

Relief for Saluda Families |
|
On December 24, 2008 John G Russell, also know as JR or Batman or Isaac Creek Builders was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He has had radiation, surgery, and chemo treatments. His tumor has worsened and has even spread into his spine. On top of this, his wife, Janice lost her job in 2007 and has been taking care of John. Finances are rough, as you can imagine. Many repairs are needed in their home and many people are willing to donate their time in doing the repairs but are financially unable to provide the materials. The repairs would make it a safer environment for John and his family. John has always been a giver and has done many great things for people in our community, and now he and his family need help themselves. If you are able to help this family who have given so much to others, please send your charitable relief to his daughter Ashley Crissone, 109 Sunrise Drive, Mill Spring, NC 28756. You can contact Ashley at 828-899-5491.

Art Clues
Ideas for Creating and Enjoying Art |
|
TAKE A TURN. Don't let your wood stay distressed. Artists who use wood as their creative material (turn bowls, sculpt) begin by carefully selecting their wood. Dave Prudhomme, who is one of these artists, introduced me to distressed wood a few years ago at a demonstration and now has provided the information for this column.
Thanks, Dave.
SOUTH FLORIDA MAHOGANY TREE PARTIALLY DESTROYED BY HURRICANE IVAN Insects, bacteria and fungus destroyed it two years later.
Distressed wood can be recognized by its weather injuries, evidence of bacteria and insects as well as fungus and stress cracks from wind and ice damage. From the artists' point of view the distress makes the wood interesting, colorful, and exciting. Completely healthy wood, ironically, is not as visually interesting. So in this column we recommend working with distressed wood to create something beautiful and lively. The following photos are examples of what this column is trying to communicate. Is a picture worth a thousand words? Then I'll slow down on typing and start importing photos.
![dave 2](http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs083/1000843024163/img/669.jpg?a=1102957812905) Wood live in its prime has no distress and is not as interesting to work with.
![dave 3](http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs083/1000843024163/img/670.jpg?a=1102957812905) Notice the spalting (black lines) caused by fungus stains. Large holes are caused by wood boring beetles.

![dave 5](http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs083/1000843024163/img/672.jpg?a=1102957812905) Live wood with stress crack from ice or wind damage.
![dave 6](http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs083/1000843024163/img/673.jpg?a=1102957812905) Termite damage. Termites drag in fungus that begins tree rot.

A Wife Who Means Well
author, Joe Adams
|
|
Having been married to the same woman for more than 50 years, I know that my wife means well. She is determined that I get completely over the stroke I had a couple of summers ago and she doesn't want to see any back-sliding in the process. She's forever clipping little articles from newspapers and magazines about what people older than me are doing with their lives...or things like "l0 Tips for Getting Rid of Belly Fat." She leaves them next to the fattening meals she prepares for me. The other morning there was a newspaper clipping about a 90 year old widower who had flown across the English Channel standing up on the top wing of a bi-plane. Can you imagine? I couldn't. I assumed my wife was trying to encourage me to be more adventuresome so as soon as I finished reading the article, I yelled into the kitchen: "Call the airport in Hendersonville. Get me a bi-plane. I want to fly over Lake Sheila on the wings." She said, "What are you going to wear?" I told her I would probably fly naked if the pilot doesn't fly too low. She thought I should wear my pajamas. "Are you going to use your walking stick?" she wanted to know. I told her that I wasn't walking anywhere...that once they got me up on the wing I would just be standing there while the plane flew. I might take my cane for balance but I wanted to have at least one free hand so I could wave to my friends and neighbors. Before she called the airport, she wanted me to know that she thought I was crazy. But she's the one that gave me the article about the man who flew over the English Channel. She tried to tell me that it was just for my general interest and she didn't expect me to fly on the wings of a bi-plane. It gave me a perfect opportunity to say, "What about the Belly fat article? Was that for general interest?" She said "No...that was a How-To article in case you decide to shed it." I think I would have a better chance of flying across Lake Sheila standing on the wings of a bi-plane than losing my belly fat. I know they have a bi-plane in Hendersonville because one day I went to see the couple that have it. But I also know that I am much too fat to stand on the wings of the thing...I'm sure I would go straight through to say nothing of how I would get up there in the first place. But in case we can figure it out, keep your eyes to the sky as the crowd yells, "It's a bird. It's a plane. No darn it, its Joe Adams standing naked on the wings waving like crazy." Which he is.

The Battle of Shallow Ford |
|
![shallowford](http://ih.constantcontact.com/fs083/1000843024163/img/677.jpg?a=1102957812905) It's not uncommon to think about family members that are no longer with us during the holiday season, especially those with whom you had a very close relationship. My experience over the holidays was a little unique in that I was thinking about a few family members I had never met. A few years ago, Gordon Pace from the Pace Society of America sent me an eighteen page document outlining the ancestors of my great-great grandfather, Ransom Woodruff Pace, totaling 9 generations. This document traces the lineage all the way back to the birth of Richard Pace in Wapping, England and his subsequent immigration to Jamestown, Va. Due to its complexity, I had never taken the time to thoroughly read it page by page. Right before Christmas, I was reviewing Generation No. 4 (Generation No. 1 begins with Ransom W. Pace) pertaining to John Pace who was born about 1725 in Prince George County, Va. and died in October of 1780 in Surry County, NC. Surry County caught my eye. Though I am a part-timer in Saluda, I live out my other days in Stokes County which is a stones throw from Surry County. Being a transplant to Stokes County, I have never felt that I had any family ties in the area, other than my in-laws. My husband's family goes back generations in Stokes County or the Yadkin Valley region and I have always felt a little slighted when his family speaks of their roots in these parts. Upon further examination of the genealogical document, I learned that John Pace and his brother Richard moved to Edgecombe County, NC around 1760 after purchasing about 200 acres from Thomas Hart near Beaver Dam Swamp Creek. Upon Richard's death, John moved to Surry County. It is alleged that John and two of his sons, Thomas and Richmond, were Tories during the Revolutionary War and remained loyal to King George. All three were thought to be killed in action at the battle of Shallow Ford in October 1780. Though this has not been proven, John Pace was to have served under Gideon Wright whose unit was involved in the battle. To confirm this bit of family history, I consulted a cousin on the Pace and Garren side, Dr. George A. Jones, who is a historian and founder of the Henderson County Genealogical and Historical Society. Here is what he said: The County Court of Surry Co, NC considered John Pace (father) and Richmond (son) to be Tories and confiscated their property, which was later sold by the County Court at public auction. Two of John's sons, Jeremiah and Edmond, bought some of the property at the sale. Sarah (the mother) was granted her dower rights in the property. Later Burrell petitioned the State Legislature trying to recover some of the property admitting that his father and brother were Tories. The Legislature did not look with favor on his petition. I have no information on Thomas Pace. It is unclear at this point where in Surry County John Pace and his family may have lived but Shallow Ford, or Shallowford as it is now called, is exactly fourteen miles from my doorstep in Stokes County. The location of the historical marker for the Battle of Shallow Ford is within the borders of Forsyth County but Shallow Ford itself is now on the boundary that divides Forsyth County from Yadkin County and no longer considered part of Surry County. Shallow Ford is exactly as its name implies; a shallow rocky area of the Yadkin River that made for easy crossing. More interesting historical information about Shallow Ford can be found on the website www.ncmarkers.com. Over the holidays my husband, daughter and I visited the site of the historical marker, which is located at a bridge which crosses the Yadkin River right outside of Lewisville on Shallowford Road. According to the marker, we were 600 yards south of the site where my great (5x) grandfather may have been killed. The day we visited was cold and icy with snow still covering the ground. We walked a little way toward the river but did not go all the way down since it was so slippery. I looked out over the Yadkin River and a chill ran over me. The blood of my family may have been shed in or near this very river. The three of us made a deal we would return when the weather warms up and maybe try to walk to the site of the battle. I now feel a deep connection to an area which I never thought I had a connection. As many of my Pace cousins already know, one of John's other sons and my great (4x) grandfather, Burrell Pope Pace, Sr., Generation No. 3, is credited for settling Pace's Gap, which later became known as Saluda. Prior to this, he enlisted in the Patriot Army in 1776 and was elected to the rank of Sergeant in Col. John Henton's regiment. In January, we visited the Henderson County Heritage Museum. There in bold letters was the name Burrell Pope Pace, credited for serving as a Patriot in the Revolutionary War. Since learning of the drastically differing viewpoints of the Pace family during these early days in our country's history, I have wondered what conversation may have been like at their family holiday celebrations. We can only imagine. Submitted by Cindy Stephenson Tuttle Please email [email protected] for feedback or column ideas. |
New! SaludaMemories.com |

As a native and still part-time resident of Saluda, I am amazed at the amount of progress that has occurred in the town over the past thirty or so years. Each visit to my childhood community causes me to begin thinking of ways in which our delightfully old-fashioned town might be tweaked to make it even more attractive to residents, summer people and visitors alike.
As a member of the dwindling Thompson family that used to be so common in earlier Saluda, I am also concerned about the continuing loss of our collective family histories over time and the lack of a suitably secure storehouse for such records, including but not limited to family photos, letters, personal items, etc., as well as historical information regarding the old homes, businesses, public events, and especially our beloved railroad that was so vital to the formation of the city itself. We should all be grateful to citizens such as Charlene Pace, Herbert Pace and Charles Herron for their dedication to this cause, but their best efforts can only scratch the surface in capturing the vast quantity of history stored in the homes and minds around the area. Someone once said, "When a person dies, it's like a fire destroying a library." All that information is lost forever. If we are to save it for our future generations, we need to start now in establishing a non-profit organization with the collective enthusiasm and fundraising ability to get a plan started. A first priority should be the video/audio recording of personal memories of our older citizens and let's be sure to include our summer families as well. The cost would be minimal, requiring only the time it takes to conduct the interviews. Our town doesn't need the loss of another Lola or Charlie Ward before extensive taping begins to occur.
I have just created and activated a website called saludamemories.com which will allow individuals to post personal memories, photos, audio/videos, etc of Saluda for posterity. Hopefully this site will facilitate the preservation of individual experiences associated with living or visiting the town. We will be adding categories as more information comes into the site. Your assistance in spreading the work will be appreciated.
If anyone feels there is merit to any or all of these suggestions, please contact your friends and ask for their active support. You can also contact me by e-mail at [email protected]. with your own ideas. Now is the time to get started and I'm signed up. Will you sign also? R.

If you haven't already gotten your first bulb or seed catalog by now, you must have been bumped off every list. If you have never ordered from a catalog or been satisfied with your orders, then this column is written with you in mind. First of all, you definitely need to know the characteristics of the plants you are ordering: In what areas of the country will they do the best? What are their requirements for light, shade, soil, water and fertilizer? Are they perennials or annuals? How much maintenance do they require? How large or small do they grow? Will they be suitable for your sites? Is it the right time of year for planting? Get information regarding shipping that includes (1) date of shipping and (2) if you can request a specific shipping date (to make sure you are home). Usually plants go out early in the week for delivery Thursdays or Fridays. Make sure you specify where you want the plant/s left should you not be at home. Shipping bare root plants are not usually a problem. However, container plants can arrive with broken stems, dry roots, insects or sickly foliage. Ideally container plants would do best if they are sent in boxes with individual sections to hold them securely and keep stems from being broken or otherwise damaged. Be sure to get details about guarantees and refunds. If a problem is reported immediately, there probably will be a replacement or some form of correction. Be sure to have your camera at hand when unpacking plants. Take a picture of the unopened box, the plants before removal from the box and any visible damage once they are out of the boxes. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words - or at least a few bills! In fact, you might want to ask how the plants are packaged when you order. It will be important for you to inquire about anything you don't know. Will it be sent bare-root (BR) or by the size of the container. If you don't know, make sure you understand just how large or how small a plant is in a quart or gallon size container, how big around, how tall. (Trees, of course, will be sent according to height.) In order to save their time, you might be asked about any substitution you would like should they be out of your first choices. Be prepared with all the information a substitution would require and know if you would want to put it in the same location or another spot. If it's your first time to order from a company, you may prefer to place a limited order until you see the quality of the products and the kind of service they provide. Also recommended is paying with a credit card at least until you become familiar with the company. On your mark! Get set! GO! The next meeting will be February 22d, (the 3d Monday, of course) at the library at 10:00. We will be pulling together our plans for the upcoming year and hope that you will be there to contribute.
