Artists Exhibit in July

The Saluda Center is delighted to present for the July art exhibition:

 

"Looking Back: Paintings By John Waddill, 1948-2011."

 

Waddill's life as an artist began after waddillattending Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida and then three years of study at Parsons School of Design in New York City. The following three years, John worked as a designer of home furnishings. He returned to his native South Carolina and became a fine artist for two years, but with two children later, John reflects,"I had to take a "paying job" with a new textile company, and I remained there for thirty-five years, painting part-time."

 

waddillRetired for twenty years, Waddill has continues to enjoy painting the familiar images found in nature using tempera, watercolor, acrylic and oil as his media and continues to work in various styles of execution. His paintings are found in numerous private and corporate collections.

 

Please join us for a reception honoring this talented Saluda resident on Thursday, July 7 from 5:00-6:30 PM at the Saluda Center, 64 Greenville Street in Saluda.

 

waddillMr. Waddill has graciously offered a portion of the proceeds from the sale of paintings in this exhibition to The Saluda Center for use in the continuation of the many programs and events provided to the citizens of the Saluda area. This exhibit can also be enjoyed from July 5-29 during regular hours at The Center. For further information, please call The Saluda Center:828-749-9245 or Anne Jameson: 828-749-3101.  

Saluda Artist Invited to Curacao 


jim carsonJim Carson, Saluda artist, has been invited to the first annual Plein Air Curacao to be held in Willemstad, Curacao, a small Caribbean island in the Dutch Antilles, 40 miles off the coast of Venezuela. It will be held August 28-Sept 3.(www.pleinaircuracao.com)

The plein air festival will be a daytime component to the annual North Sea Jazz Festival, also held in Curacao.

 

Last year's Jazz Festival brought over 10,000 people to Curacao. This year's Jazz Festival will feature Stevie Wonder, Sting, Earth Wind and Fire, Dionne Warwick, the Danilo Perez Trio, Branford Marsalis Quartet, Ruben Blades, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Ronchi Matthews and his All Star Band, Roberto Forseca and many more.

 

During the day, the invited plein air painters will paint the beautiful vistas of Curacao. The paintings will be sold at the end of each day to tourists, residents, etc. Curacao has the perfect combination of stunning geography, rich cultural and architectural resources, and that indefinable quality of being authentic and compelling.

 

Jim will also participate in Plein Air Easton in Easton, Maryland, July 17-24.  Locally, Jim's studio will be open during the Art Trek Studio tour on Saturday, July 30 and Sunday, July 31, with the preview party at the Upstairs Artspace on Friday night, July 29.

City Notes

Joe Adams

  

Keep up to date with city news at City of Saluda's website.
Saluda Community Land Trust

The SCLT had another successful road clean up in June.  We have adopted a two mile stretch on highway 176 on both sides of town.   Though the teams were small, we were able to work quickly and efficiently while enjoying the morning camaraderie. Thank you for not littering!

 

SCLT is working with the Saluda Dog Society in creating a dog park. We thank the city of Saluda for all the hard work put into leveling and clearing the area. The Dog Park is located on Chestnut Street, and volunteers are needed to help with fencing and landscaping. For more information on this, please call Dave Prudhomme 828-749-9172.

 

Scheduled hikes for the summer will be on the first and third Sunday of the month. We will meet at the library at 2pm to carpool. Remember to bring water and always be aware that there may be poison ivy nearby. Wear appropriate clothing and shoes, and be ready to commune with nature and your neighbors. There is always something new to discover, and it's a great way to start your week.

 

Kudzu work on the corner of Ozone and Thompson Road was put on hold in June while waiting for the site to be mowed. We will pick back up on this area starting in July and may be working other areas as well. Thursday is kudzu day, and we will work 8am until 10am, weather permitting.

 

In the meantime, we have worked along the bank at the city parking lot. This is also a great area to decrown kudzu. We are looking for areas in Saluda that need help and are working on a strategy that will benefit our community. Areas will need to be worked differently according to the level of the kudzu problem.

 

SCLT always needs your help. If you would like to volunteer for any of our projects, become a member or just inquire about a project, please call our office at 828-749-1560. Leave us a message, and someone will get back to you promptly. Or go to our website.                  


Saluda Garden Club

saluda garden club

In June, the Saluda Garden Club enjoyed a field trip to Motlow Creek Gardens in Campobello where we learned about summer swap out for container plants, both in the sun and in the shade. This is a wonderful nursery, and if you have not been, you must take the time to walk their garden to check out all their wonderful plants.

 

The Saluda Garden Club will not be meeting in July but will have a meeting on August 15th. The plan at this time is to visit some local gardens to see what our neighbors have to show and tell. Saluda has some beautiful home gardens that have been tended to with loving hands. Some are very old, and it's great to know that the spirit of a home garden is still a tradition that is living among us.

 

The Spring Garden is something that we lovingly tend to year round. Throughout the summer, we will continue to water and weed so that you may enjoy this peaceful sanctuary. Remember to be gentle as you stroll through and to leave things where they are since this is how a stable garden remains so.

 

For more information please call Anita Severn at 828-749-3155 or Susie Welsh at 828-749-3900.

Alexander's Ford at Bradley Nature Preserve

Vision Becomes Reality with Alexander's Ford at Bradley Nature Preserve

 

The County of Polk just acquired Alexander's Ford at Bradley Nature Preserve from the Bradley Fund of the Polk County Community Foundation, and a family's philanthropic dream of enhancing our community for generations has been realized anew. In 2006, the Board of the Marjorie M. and Lawrence R. Bradley Endowment Fund committed to preserving the historic 163-acre property by purchasing the land from Tryon Arts and Crafts and establishing conservation easements to protect it forever.

 

The Polk County Community Foundation had lacked the assets to save Chocolate Drop Mountain from eventual development, but when the opportunity to preserve Alexander's Ford presented itself, the timely sale of the Bradley Estate just months beforehand enabled the Board to act decisively. With just a few weeks' notice, the Community Foundation and Bradley Board worked quickly, stepping up to keep the property from being sold to an individual with full development rights. The purchase was the first step in working with the County to create a public nature preserve and it immediately safeguarded against losing another extraordinary natural resource to development.  The Bradley Fund chose to protect and hold the property, allowing the County time to secure grant funding to acquire the land for permanent public benefit. A $50,000 grant from the Bradley Fund and a price well below the appraised value enabled the County to acquire and develop this park without using County funds. Carolina Mountain Land Conservancy wrote grants on behalf of Polk County and helped manage the project, with funders covering the costs of project administration.

 

The final purchase represents years of coordination between Polk County and the Community Foundation. The County and its partners successfully raised enough funds through grants and local contributions that zero Polk County dollars were needed for the purchase. Meanwhile, the Foundation confirmed that the property would be permanently protected  after the sale through comprehensive conservation easements and deed restrictions. As a result, Alexander's Ford at the Bradley Nature Preserve will now be able to move ahead as intended under the direction of Polk County, which will begin planning and preparing the site for public access.

 

The Bradley Board is delighted that a land so ecologically rich and steeped in history will remain unspoiled for generations of residents to enjoy. Located along the Green River in Mill Spring, the property has impressed environmental surveyors with its botanical diversity, including several rare plant species and identification of significant natural heritage areas. The site also boasts exceptionally high water quality.

 

Experts have determined that trails running through Alexander's Ford were likely travelled for centuries by Native Americans, and studies indicate that the site may have been used as an encampment by the Cherokee. The land is probably best known in the community for including a significant section of the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail. Patriot militiamen are said to have camped at Alexander's Ford before being alerted to turn toward King's Mountain for a battle with the British, which, according to Thomas Jefferson, "was the joyful annunciation of that turn of the tide of success which terminated the Revolutionary War with the seal of our independence."

 

Maps of the Overmountain Victory Trail, including information about Alexander's Ford, are available at the Community Foundation office at 255 South Trade Street in Tryon. The Community Foundation fulfills the charitable wishes of donors like the Bradleys through a variety of grants to nonprofit organizations throughout the Polk County area. The Bradleys gave funds to the Foundation to establish a separate charitable corporation, and this is one of many projects that the Bradley Board has supported in their name. For more information regarding grants, scholarships or charitable giving options, please contact the Community Foundation by visiting our office, calling (828) 859-5314, or checking online at www.polkccf.org.

Mobile Broadband Expands in Polk County

AT&T Acquisition of T-Mobile Would Expand Mobile Broadband Service in Polk

Saluda would see faster wireless broadband service under AT&T's plans to purchase competitor T-Mobile.

Combining the wireless frequencies - called spectrum - owned by both companies would enable AT&T to improve service quality and network capacity, while encouraging innovation and expanding the deployment of 4G LTE mobile broadband technology to more than 97% of the U.S. population. LaVoy Spooner, AT&T's Regional Director, said the expansion would reach 55 million more people than under the company's previous plans. It would enable 4G LTE deployment to an additional 1.2 million square miles, equivalent to 4.5 times the size of the state of Texas, and would include service in Polk County.

The acquisition will increase AT&T's infrastructure investment in the U.S. by more than $8 billion over seven years. The company previously announced it plans to invest $19-billion in its national wireless and wireline networks and other capital projects in 2011.

The steadily-increasing use of wireless services is especially true in the popularity of smartphones which allow the user to surf the Internet or even watch HD movies on their handheld device. Over the past four years, data usage on AT&T's wireless network has increased 8,000 percent. This tsunami of wireless demand is forcing all wireless companies to look for ways to address the coming problem of spectrum shortages. The proposed $39 billion merger provides a fast and efficient solution to meet the needs of AT&T's and T-Mobile's customers.

Reviews of the proposal by Federal regulators are expected to continue through the end of the year.

Bible Study at Transfiguration

The Life and Times of Apostle Paul

Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration

72 Charles Street, Saluda, NC (Parish Hall)

10:00 am. Thursdays, beginning July 21

Six Sessions

Leader:  The Rev. Paula Morton, Rector

 

Open to the Community

 

The Apostle Paul:  has anyone in history been so praised and so maligned?  He is sometimes credited with singlehandedly "founding" Christianity, often commended for his openness to other cultures, yet just as often accused of narrow-mindedness and rigidity.  Almost everyone would agree that he's one of our religion's most fascinating, most elusive personalities.  So who was he, really?  What did he teach, really?  Who did he encounter in his travels, and how did he interact with them...really?

 

This series will focus on Paul as a historical figure and the cultures in which he preached.  Buckle your seatbelts, because it will be part travelogue, a "virtual journey" through time to the first-century cities of Jerusalem, Corinth, Galatia, Philippi, Colossus, and Ephesus.   Paula's primary texts will be selected New Testament readings; What Saint Paul Really Said, by N.T. Wright; and St. Paul the Traveler and the Roman Citizen, by W. M. Ramsay.  Participants may wish to purchase the two books for their own reading, but it will not be necessary.  Paula will use the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible, but participants may bring their favorite translation.

 

There will be a copy of the books for your perusal at the first session.  You can order from Amazon or Barnes and Noble, and if you have a Kindle or Nook, they can be downloaded immediately.  The costs of the books are:  $12.00 (What St. Paul Really Said);   $13.00 (St. Paul the Traveler and the Roman Citizen)

The Carolina Special

carolina specialThe Carolina Special Cresting Saluda Mountain. The epitome of dramatic North American railroading was the cresting of Saluda by Southern Railway's Carolina Special, powered by a green and gold trimmed Mountain type locomotive with an assist from a Mallet Helper on the rear.

 

This train, which ran from Charleston to Cincinnati, was a typical passenger train of the steam era.  It consisted of mail and baggage cars, coaches, a diner and Pullmans.  It once boasted an observation car proudly marked "Carolina Special."

 

This oil painting by Howard Fogg, commissioned by Frank Fishburne, shows the most dramatic phase of the Carolina Special's journey:  climbing the nation's steepest standard gauge main line rails up Saluda Mountain, with grades reaching 5.3%.

 

The Carolina Special ran for over half a century and was one of the nation's longest-lived passenger trains.  It started in 1911 and endured until its last trip up Saluda on December 5, 1968.

 

Prints will be sold during the Historic Saluda Oral History premier and other events celebrating Saluda's 130th birthday.  Limited quantities available for $45.  Proceeds will go to Saluda's Historic City Hall Restoration and Oral History Project. Click here to order a print online.

Saluda Evening

Beauty births the morning and shakes our dreaming true and shadows last night's rain, gifting the ridges with blue. 

 

It breathes the sky from the sea and folds in mountain air our ladies, who comb its silver currents into their hair.

 

Now the town draws in for sleep and the breeze lifts again, and the birds nest down for night, and the foxes warm their dens,

 

but beauty doesn't slow or shift its unwavering course:  the moon rises high again and sings us to its source. 

 

By Mike Cass

Condolences
Saluda Lifestyles expresses heart-felt sympathies to the family and friends of lost loved ones.

Sandra Rocks, 68, of Hendersonville, NC passed away June 4, 2011.  Sandra lived in Saluda before moving to Hendersonville and was the past president of the Saluda Garden Club.  Sandra loved Saluda and loved writing about gardening for Saluda Lifestyles.  Her illness prevented Sandra from contributing much this past year.   We will all miss her talents, her clever wit, and her love for gardening.  Here's the last message to Saluda Lifestyles from Sandra: 

 

"Cathy, as I read the Saluda Lifestyles I realize how much time and talent you put into its publication every month.  I think it is such a commendable read, it should get some recognition somewhere.  Besides who would think that a little town like Saluda has such color, such activity, such vitality.  Congratulations on a very fine job of putting all of this together in such a delightful venue."

There will be judges, and plaques will be given for the following categories of floats: Best Commercial, Best Civic, and Most Original.  This year's plaques are hand-carved originals from a local artist, so don't miss your chance to win one.  Plus, it's fun for everyone to be involved in building the float and riding in the parade.

FUND-RAISER FOR ECO

FEATURING THE MUSIC OF

SCOTT AINSLIE

 SUNDAY NIGHT CONCERT

JULY  24 @ 7 PM

The Purple Onion Sunday Evening Music (POSEM) concert this month is more special than usual as the Purple Onion joins forces with ECO, a non-profit organization with a mission of preserving the natural heritage and environment of Henderson County and the mountain region.  The purpose of the evening is to raise money for ECO's work in the area and also represents the café's interest in supporting their efforts.

 

The highlight of the evening will be a concert by Scott Ainslie (http://www.cattailmusic.com ) , a master guitarist/historian of blues music of all kinds. Scott heard Virginia Bluesman and grave digger, John Jackson (1924-2002) play a couple of songs in the middle of a Mike Seeger concert just outside of Washington, DC, back in 1967.

Scott started playing guitar a month later and has now spent nearly forty years studying and playing traditional music, visiting and documenting senior musicians in America's old-time banjo and fiddle music, Blues and gospel traditions.  With four CDs, a teaching DVD on the guitar techniques of Delta Blues legend Robert Johnson, he continues as a performer and a teacher presenting programs that are vital and entertaining.

ECO  staff and volunteers work continually to keep the environment healthy in our community.   They need your help. In these tough economic times your financial support is even more critical than ever. $30 VIP passes get you in the door early (5:30) to claim the best seats, and enjoy a supper buffet on the deck before the 7:00 concert. Concert-only tickets are $15.

 

Reservations are required: online at eco-wnc.org  or by calling the ECO office at 692-0385. Contributions and/or purchases made through ECO are tax-deductible.  You may also make them by contacting the Purple Onion Café at 828-749-1179.   

We hope to see you here on July 24 for this important evening.

   

Music at the Purple Onion is complements of Rob Seiler.

Old Time Square Dance


In Celebration of the 130th Anniversary of Saluda, NC, there will be an old time square dance on Saturday, July 2nd from 7 - 11 pm at The Saluda Mountain Jamboree. 
The weekly Square Dances were a big part of the social and fun events held in Saluda for many years and could be again if enough folks are interested. The Jerricho Hill Band will be performing for the dance. The admission is only $5.00 and all profits will go to the 130th Committee Fund.  At the end of the year, The Committee will donate all the profits from the activities and events to City Hall.    Also, An Oral History DVD of Saluda will be shown at a free premier screening just prior to the dance, starting at 5:00 pm.  The Eljapa Media Group has been collecting stories, pictures, videos, and interviews for several weeks in the production of the first of The Oral History Series.   Everyone is invited to come share this special night of memories and to get ready to "swing your partner" at the dance.  For those who need to freshen up their square dance skills, there will be free dance lessons on Friday, July 1 from 7 - 9 pm at The Saluda Mountain Jamboree.  There won't be a grade or points on your dance abilities, but the lessons can be a lot of fun, plus some great exercise!  All are invited to join in the dance, but if you just want to watch and enjoy the music, that is OK, too.  If you need more information, you can visit the website: saludamountainjamboree.com or call 828-749-3676 and leave a message.

Historic Saluda Committe Releases Oral History DVD

Home, Hearth & History: Stories of Old Saluda

The Historic Saluda Oral History Committee is pleased to announce a release date for its inaugural oral history DVD entitled Home, Hearth & History: Stories of Old Saluda. Copies of the DVD will be available at the film's premiere scheduled for July 2, 2011 at 5 pm at the Saluda Mountain Jamboree.  The premiere is being held prior to the Saluda 130th Birthday Celebration square dance that will be held that same night at 7 pm.
oral historyEljapa Media Group has worked with the Oral History Committee to record over 14 hours of oral history video interviews, copied hundreds of old photographs from private collections and received more than a dozen original cassette tapes of interviews conducted by Charlene Pace and Anne Osborne for their 1981 book Saluda, N.C. 100 Years 1881-1981. Participating in the inaugural DVD are Martha Anderson, Bill Russell, John Rhodes, Dr. George Jones, Charlene Pace, Henry Twiggs, Martha Ashley, Betty Pace Thompson and Ruth Pace Lawter. It is hoped that future interviews will be compiled into additional DVDs and then archived on a Historic Saluda website.

 

The City of Saluda provided seed money to launch this project, and generous donors have helped fund the remaining cost of this grassroots project. The Oral History Committee is a sub-committee of the Historic Saluda Committee, founded in May 2010 by interested citizens, and operates under the jurisdiction of the City of Saluda. Admission to the film premiere is free; however, donations will be accepted to help with future oral history interviews. A $5 donation will be requested to participate in the square dance which follows the premier showing of the DVD.   

 

A preview of the Oral History DVD will be shown during Coon Dog Day at the Saluda Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall. Showings will run from 1-3.  

 

For more information, contact Cindy Stephenson Tuttle at cindystuttle@gmail.com or call the City of Saluda at 828-749-2581.

M.A. Pace General Store Re-Opens

mapaceOn its 112th anniversary, M.A. Pace General Store has re-opened under the proprietorship of Leon Morgan, and his daughters, Tangie Ciarvolo and Tonya Pace.  Robert Pace died October 1, 2010, and the family-run store closed its doors for the first time in over a century.  Robert's daughter, Kay Richardson, who lives in Clinton, NC wanted the store to reopen without many changes being made.   Natives of Saluda, the Morgan family has operated retail businesses on Main Street for many years.  Their antique store, "Somewhere in Time," is adjacent to M.A. Pace General Store and, the Morgan family has grown up as neighbors to the Pace family.

 

mapaceMany Saludians wanted the store to stay the same and to become a "museum" and historical landmark.  Sensitive to this desire, the Morgan's enriched the historical content in the store by displaying the Pace family portraits, antique pictures of Saluda, vintage clothing, farm and kitchen tools, and more turn-of-the century items found in storage. 

 

mapaceThe store is stocked with a lot of the favorite items that Robert Pace sold, including old-fashioned candies, jellies, preserves, sauces, toys, and most importantly, hardware.  Robert's early 1900's cash register ismapace still being used, and you may get a whiff of the old oil-stained wood floors.  Books from local authors will be sold again. 

 

It feels good to see the doors opened once again, and Saluda is grateful to the Morgan family for maintaining the Pace family legacy.  Saluda is so fortunate to again have two of its historical institutions; Thompson's Store/Ward's Grill and M.A. Pace General Store have survived, unlike many other multi-generational businesses featured in the documentary, "Our Vanishing Americana."

auman"Thank you, Charlie Ward."  The new proprietors of Saluda Mountain Lodge, Wayne and Wendy Auman, drove through Saluda many times searching for just the right mountain town to call home.  They were intrigued by the charm and beauty of Saluda, but it was the hospitality and the friendliness offered by Charlie Ward that let them know there was much more to Saluda than charm.  And in 2006, Wayne and Wendy moved their family from Hilton Head to Saluda where they have lived on Fork Creek Road. 

 

Now in 2011, they aim to continue showing Saluda hospitality and warmth to others.  The Auman family, Wendy and Wayne, and their four sons, plan to open Saluda Mountain Lodge the weekend of July 1st.  They are ready for the July 4th holiday and for Coon Dog Day.  They want to entertain their guests and spoil them by making each one feel special just as Charlie did for many years.  Stop by, sit awhile, saludamountainlodgeenjoy the view, and get to know Wendy, Wayne, Connor, Tristan, Trevor, and Grayson.  Contact Saluda Mountain Lodge at 828-749-4951 or visit their website at Saluda Mountain Lodge.

The Oaks Summertime

The Time Has Come at The Oaks Bed and Breakfast

After purchasing the inn, Donna and Dale Potruski, proprietors, decided to strengthen the original foundation to insure that the structure would remain stable and stand proud for another 100-years.  Jacks were used to raise the house ever-so-carefully, allowing the contractors to pour concrete footers, install new pillars and build additional floor joists for added support. 

We shared a fantasy that the crew that labored beneath the house would surprise them by unearthing a chest of "Civil War gold" or some relic of untold value.  Truth-be-told, the workers did find an antique tea spoon, an old medicine bottle, a frontier ladle and a croquet set.  It wasn't exactly what we had hoped for, but it was a connection to our home's past and a treasure none the less.

It was then that we decided to one day have a gorgeous tournament quality lawn on which guests, dressed in summer white and straw-hats, would play the regal game of croquet.

After much effort and expense, we are proud to say, the time has come!  With the beautiful woodlands and landscaping as a backdrop, we invite you to come and experience the "Queen of Games" this summer--Croquet at
The Oaks Bed and Breakfast! For reservations, please contact us at 828-749-2000 or visit at the website. The Oaks Bed and Breakfast is located at 339 Greenville St.

Painting with oil pastels

 "In the fine arts it is only the convention, the form, the incidentals that change: the fundamentals of passion, of intellect and imagination remain unaltered."    

-- Aldous Huxley   

From drawing to painting there are lines, colors, various media, shapes and values.  The medium of OIL PASTELS includes and suggests both painting and drawing.  This column emphasizes some painting aspects of oil pastels such as:

·         Color mixing

·         Subtlety of color by layering

·         Thin color

·         Thick color

·         Dark and light colors

·         Contrasting colors

Here are some ways you can start to "paint" with oil pastels.  Start by peeling off the paper that covers each oil pastel. beverly    

 

The pastel then behaves more like a paint brush and works artistically well for covering large areas.  It usually requires cleaning/wiping off each pastel after using it to have its color clear and bright for its next use. 

  • Try various ways of mixing colors:
  • Use thin lines of color next to large masses of color. 
  • Add several layers by scribbling one layer and painting back and forth over it with large swipes for more layers.
  • Overlap primary and secondary colors in places.  
  • Vary pale and light with dark and heavy. 
  • Use your fingers to rub colors together.

With oil pastels you can also vary the textures on which you paint, such as using a sketch pad or water color paper, canvas or wood, or other.  Oil Pastels are a wonderful versatile medium where the passion, intellect and imagination used in the fine arts can be fully applied.  Experiment and repeat what you like.

Oil Pastels are excellent for traveling- the only supplies you need
are a sketch book and a box of oil pastels- no liquid, no mess.

Thanks to my granddaughter, Louise, for demonstrating painting with pastels.

Do, Si, Do...Swing
by author Joe Adams

Joe Adam's face

I was so happy to hear about the square dance over at Jamboree and about the free lessons.  Even if you think you can square dance, I would advise taking the lessons...especially you guys.  It's not as easy as it looks.

 

Years ago when my parents were first married, they ran a square dance place.  It was a covered pavilion by a lake.  They only operated it on Friday and Saturday nights.  My Father was the caller, and everyone claimed he was good.  My Mother loved to dance, and she usually had no trouble finding a partner since she was heavy in the bosom.  My Father made more money from selling Moonshine than from selling tickets for square dancing.  Lots of  guys would never get on the dance floor without a few swigs of home brew.  But that's why you need those free lessons.

 

Square dancing is fun...even if you don't know how.  But it's dangerous, too.  I would recommend two things for guys:

 

1.  Don't wear a felt or straw cowboy hat.  You might look good, but they are very little protection when you are ready to dance and bow to your partner.  I got a huge knot on my head bowing to my partner.  She and I were both overly enthusiastic.  She didn't get a knot...I think her bangs saved her.

 

2.  Wear a motorcycle helmet.

 

I have had two big square dance parties where we hired a square dance club to give lessons and a professional caller to send us around the floor.  My wife said no one would like it, but everyone who didn't get knots on their heads had a great time.

 

For a corporate party, we rented a big barn that had been built just for square dances.  One of my fondest and funniest memories was from the dance.  A guy who worked for me came and brought his wife who really didn't get out a lot (or drink a lot).  The two of them were in our group.  After dancing for a while, we would have a rest and more instructions.  At one of the rest breaks, my friend's wife sat down on an open window to have a cigarette.  No one else noticed but me, but she fell out of the window backwards.  It wasn't a big fall; I saw her legs sticking up in the air but then they disappeared.

 

When the music started, my friend turned to where his wife had been.  He was surprised that she was not there.  Then he looked to his left...no wife....then he looked on the floor...then he looked up on the ceiling.  I was laughing the whole time and pointing out the window.  At that point, she was getting herself up, obviously wondering where she was, and he was saying, " What are you doing out there."

I don't think she is coming to the Jamboree Dance.  In fact, I don't think she has ever square danced again.

 

But you can come. Grab a partner and do-si-do.

Youth Memories and a Town Named Saluda

By Frank Middleton, a Saluda native

 

Stay tuned next month for more youth stories from Frank about growing up in Saluda.  

Flat on My Back

thompson

When I was 9 years of age, I began to experience pain in the heel of one foot and wrongly assumed for a long time that it was the result of bruising caused by playing on large boulders in the woods between Mountain Manor and the school playground. Eventually, Mama took me to Hendersonville to see a physician and during the exam, he discovered a heart murmur. Further testing indicated that I had rheumatic fever which would require full bed rest for an indefinite period of time. Since this diagnosis occurred in the month of January, it also meant missing the rest of my third grade school year. On doctor's orders, I was put to bed as soon as we arrived back home where I remained completely bedridden for five months. I was only allowed a small thin pillow for my head, and I was not permitted to sit up in bed or lift my head off the pillow. Total bed rest was standard protocol for rheumatic fever in those days so I was only allowed to get up, with assistance, for bedside potty calls or for an occasional washcloth type body cleaning. To help alleviate the boredom, my bed was placed in our dining room next to a window. However, my mama had to go to work which meant I was alone from early morning until late afternoon, which made for many hours of agonizing loneliness and sheer boredom. Reading and listening to the radio provided the only mental stimulus. The uncertainty weighed heavily on my young mind as to whether or not I would be bedridden for life, or whether I would be able to lead any type of normal life with a damaged heart. It also created great fear regarding my future. Hours of being alone in the house likewise added to the anxious feelings, self pity, sadness and bouts of crying.

 

My illness resulted from having an untreated case of strep throat the previous summer, after which the infection began to damage my heart.

 

The amazingly kind physician supervising my medical recovery was Dr. Richard A. Porter, who passed away in 2007 at the age of 90. For several months, he would close his offices every Tuesday at noon and drive from Hendersonville to Saluda for my weekly checkup, which included listening to my heart, drawing blood samples and injecting penicillin shots for the ongoing infection. In that time, penicillin was about the only antibiotic generally available. The most memorable visit was when he told me that I had improved enough to sit in the warm summer sun for one hour, but only if someone could carry me from my bed. During the months of bed rest, my muscles atrophied which meant a slow recovery period of learning to walk again. I still remember so vividly the euphoric feeling of hope that this monster, which had taken me from a very vibrant, energetic and happy nine year old to a bedridden skeleton-like figure with withered muscles, was finally being conquered. The routine for a while was one hour of sitting in the sun each week, and then progressing to one hour twice each week, and so on. Soon I was able to begin learning to walk again which helped build back my leg muscles. By September, Dr. Porter had seen enough progress to permit me to go back to school, although I was still prohibited from participating in sports or other similar activities. 

 

Luckily, the school socially promoted me to the fourth grade despite my missing over four months of third grade classes, but with the understanding that I would be moved back if I could not keep up academically. It was only after Dr. Porter's death in 2007 that I learned from his widow that he was a fairly new, sole practitioner during the time of my illness and had a family of his own to take care of financially. Yet this wonderful young doctor willingly closed his offices each Tuesday at noon, drove to Saluda and used his best skills to make a young kid whole again. His charge for all this? House calls amounted to only $2.00. The charge for the penicillin injections were $1.00 and for drawing and having the blood samples tested for the infection....well that was another whopping $2.00. That meant that no visit exceeded $5.00. It was quite obvious to Dr. Porter that my family had very few means with which to pay, but it never stopped him from offering me his dedication and lifesaving skills.

 

Regrettably, from a child's eyes, I always thought of Dr. Porter as an old man even though he was only in his early 30's at the time of my treatment. After growing up and moving away from Saluda, I lost contact with him and made the false assumption that he likely had passed away many years ago. I was very surprised to read of his eventual passing in the Hendersonville paper in 2007. Since then, I have been able to communicate with his widow and daughter, but I still regret that I did not seek him out in later years to express my deepest gratitude for the excellent care he gave me so many years ago and for helping me lead a very happy and healthy life.
