Saluda Center Art Exhibit
Features Jim Carson through January
| |
 To my community:
Thanks to everyone who worked on and attended the "Paintings of Paris and the French Countryside" opening reception on Sat. night, Dec. 15. It was great to see and talk to so many people. Unfortunately, because of the crowd, most of my conversations with you were not completed. I would love to finish them, so stop me on the street some time. We have a great little town, and it was wonderful to be a part of the Saluda Hometown Christmas event.
Happy New Year.
Jim Carson
The Saluda Center is hosting a
show of Jim Carson's Paris and the French countryside oil paintings which were painted on his recent three week plein air painting trip to France. The show, titled "Paintings from Paris and the French Countryside," will hang through January 15.
Jim has a studio onthe second floor above the Saluda Grade Café but spends a majority of his time painting "en plein air." He can frequently be seen around Saluda at his easel.
Jim has been juried into many Plein Air Festivals, including ones in Easton, Maryland, Door County, Wisconsin, Richmond, Virginia, and Cashiers, NC.
Jim has kept the paintings from France in one body, even those that have already sold. After this show, the paintings will be separated to a number of different galleries that carry Jim's work.
For more information, contact Jim at 828-749-3702 or visit jimcarson.net or email jimcarson@tds.net.

Saluda Community Tree Preservation Association
|
| |
The SCTPA met at the Old Chicken House on December 7 to continue discussion on the topic, "Stop-Don't Top! It's Killing Our Trees." With assistance from the National Arbor Day Foundation, we are continuing to pursue this problem as an on-going concern. Don't top! Tree topping means severely cutting back large limb branches of a tree, often cutting straight across the top, disfiguring it permanently and usually causing its premature death.
Among the many problems resulting from topping is the creation of weak sucker woods and the potentially fatal introduction of rot and disease. (From the National Arbor Day official publication-special edition by Art Odem, staff writer).
We proceeded to the mini park across from Saluda School to decorate our tree for the birds, an annual project at Christmas. Judy Sienkiewicz provided pine cones rolled in peanut butter and bird seed-always a favorite with the birds. Others contributed popcorn balls fastened to the tree branches.
For information on the Preservation Association, please call Ruth at 828-749-9718 (leave a message for return call) or Judy and Chuck at email JTS1@charter.net.

Al-Anon Can Help
| | |
Al-Anon is a worldwide fellowship that offers a program of recovery for the families and friends of alcoholics whether or not the alcoholic recognizes the existence of a drinking problem or seeks help. Members give and receive comfort and understanding through a mutual exchange of experience, strength, and hope. Sharing of similar problems binds individuals and groups together in a bond that is protected by tradition of anonymity.
Al-Anon is not a religious organization or a counseling agency. It is not a treatment center nor is it allied with any other organizations offering such services. Al-Anon Family Groups, which includes Alateen for young members, usually teenagers, neither expresses opinion on outside issues nor endorses outside enterprises. No dues or fees are required. Membership is voluntary, requiring only that one's life has been adversely affected by someone else's drinking problem.
Al-Anon Family Group meets at the Saluda Center, 64 Greenville St every Tuesday evening from 6:30pm-7:30pm. Visit our website.

 CD Released! "Saluda, NC: Voices from the First 100 Years"
Happy New Year! The Historic Saluda Committee has released the oral history audio documentary, "Saluda, NC: Voices from the First 100 Years." Over 30 years ago when Anne Osborne and Charlene Pace were working on their book Saluda, NC: 100 Years 1881-1981, they conducted interviews with some of Saluda's oldest residents. Several of these folks were born in Saluda in the late 1800s or had been coming for the summer since the early 1900s. Luckily, these interviews were captured on what we now consider to be "old fashioned" cassette tapes and were donated to the Oral History Committee by Anne Osborne's good friend Marty Payton. With funding from a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation's Saluda Community Fund, we've had the tapes restored (as much as possible) and have produced an audio documentary called "Saluda: Voices from the First 100 Years." Some of the clips featured are:
- Bertha Bishop recalling her time as a student at Saluda Seminary
- Lillian Sterneau painting a vivid picture of the classy dinners held at Melrose Inn
- Uncle Joe Pace, who was born in 1878, talking about trading eggs for coffee at Daddy Hart's store
- Mary Dell Johnson remembering Dr. Goelet and living at the Charlton-Leland Hotel
...and that's just a sample! Plus, the program also features the homegrown music of Todd Neel & Alan Dillman and the song "Saluda Mountain Home" cowritten by Clark Thompson and performed by Grammy-nominated guitarist J. Larry Keith. The documentary in CD format is available at local stores and restaurants.

Donations of old photographs or artifacts will also be accepted for the Historic Saluda archives. Contact Carolyn Ashburn at 828-749-9886 or carolyn@skyrunner.net.

Don't Forget the Box Tops

 Does this look familiar? Each box top is worth .10 cents! Last school year, students and the community earned $1,500 for Saluda Elementary School. Money was used to provide books to students to encourage reading at home. Help us this year by clipping and submitting your box tops.

JONATHAN BYRD
PURPLE ONION CAFÉ
SUNDAY, JANUARY 27, 2013
 The Purple Onion is honored to welcome back Jonathan Byrd as part of our Sunday Evening Concert Series January 27 at 6:00 PM. Jonathan has always been a favorite of ours and has appeared here several times on our regular performance schedule. We are delighted to have him return as part of our Sunday concert series so that we can enjoy him in a listening room setting. The doors open at 5:00 PM, and although we will not be serving dinner, light fare, beverages and desserts will be available before the concert. Admission is $15 per person and seating is limited. Come by the café at 16 Main Street in Saluda or call 828-749-1179 for reservations. We accept Visa or Master Card.
Jonathan Byrd is a North Carolina flatpicker and a Texas songwriter, a Gulf War veteran and a preacher's son, and an award-winning songwriter whose songs you've probably heard, even if you haven't heard Byrd sing them. Covered by Tim O'Brien, Steve James, Red Molly, Jack Lawrence, Melissa Greener and more, Byrd's music will seem familiar to any Americana fan.
Byrd quit the rock bands of his youth and hit the road solo in 2000, flat picking and singing new songs in an old style. A tip from a friend led him down to the Kerrville Folk Festival, a dusty ranch where he discovered the rich Texas songwriting culture and made it his own.
The word began to spread in 2003 when Jonathan won the festival's 'New Folk' songwriting competition, a milestone for Americana's most influential artists: Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams, Nanci Griffith, Lyle Lovett. Byrd broke the record for CD sales at the festival and has played there nearly every year since.
Byrd's 2008 release, "The Law and the Lonesome," is the fruit of this interstate cross-pollination, what might have happened if Townes Van Zandt had made a record with Doc Watson. Tamara Kater of Canada's folk mag Penguin Eggs called "The Law and the Lonesome" her "album of the decade."
"Cackalack" is the newest Jonathan Byrd release, an homage to his home state. Recorded live in a day while on the road, "Cackalack" hit #1 on Roots Music Reports folk radio chart, #22 on the Americana chart, was the #91 Americana album of 2011, and made John Platt's "Best of 2011," along with strong international airplay and a dozen other "best of" lists.
Most recently, Jonathan won a 2011 SESAC Americana Music Award beside Bob Dylan, Seth Avett, Hayes Carll, Jim Lauderdale, and Colin Brooks from The Band of Heathens.
"One of the top 50 songwriters of the past 50 years." -Chicago Tribune.
"This Byrd flies." -John Gorka
"Cackalack's songs are like dirt road visits with your neighbors outside the car window." Tim O'Brien
"John Prine's gift for stark little songs that tell big, complex stories, Guy Clark's lean melodicism, Lyle Lovett's wry mischief, and Bill Morrissey's knack for the revealing image." - Scott Alarik, Boston Globe
"What a treat to hear someone so deeply rooted in tradition, and yet growing in his own beautiful way." -Tom Paxton
"...able to say more in two words than most other people can say in a novel. Another one of those cats that qualifies as 'one of the heaviest cats you probably never heard of... a dyed in the wool North Carolinian John Koerner... " - Midwest Record
"Jonathan Byrd doesn't sing songs; he sings truth." - Mare Wakefield, Performing Songwriter
"I thought I was listening to a young Doc Watson." Jay Moulin, Southeast Performer magazine
"...a folk singer with the heart of a rock 'n' roll band." - K. Oliver, Free Times.

With the hustle and bustle of the holidays behind us, it's now time for us to focus on our plans for 2013.  With the success of our new funky, artsy ladies clothing line that we recently added, we will be dramatically expanding that area of our shop. Our customers are asking for more styles, more colors, and more sizes to fit each and every creative woman who walks through our doors. And, with the price point being so very affordable, we are anxiously seeking out great new designs this January as we head out to apparel marts throughout the country.
February is "Random Artists Gallery" Month as we bring together the works of all the talented artists who have continued to nurture their creativity through workshops here, and whose work is complete and ready to enter into "their" show here from Friday, Feb. 1 through Sunday, Feb. 24. Our studio will be transformed into a modern gallery that will house the art of all those that have been a part of Random Arts for all these years. The art work that will be included in the show ranges from book arts, collage, assemblage, jewelry, Zen doodle, quilted wall hangings, watercolors, acrylic, drawing, sketching, journaling and much more. Each artist who is showing his/her work has participated in one or more workshops led by a large number of instructors who have taught here in the last 17 years that Random Arts has been in existence here in Saluda.
 This is an opportunity to stop by and see exactly what has been going on behind these doors for all these years. The February issue of Saluda Lifestyles will have more details on the times of the show.
Along with our funky line of clothing and accessories for the "artist" in all of us, we have a great line up of talented instructors already on the calendar for 2013. Workshops which start in March and go through June will begin with acrylic painting and drawing, then on to Coptic Stitch book binding, Funky Jewelry, Collage, Assemblage with Michael deMeng, Watercolors & Sketching and journaling with Jane LaFazio. Starting in July, we will bring in Mary Beth Shaw to do some wood icing, and then coming back for the second time will be Collage artist Jane Davies from Vermont. In September, we welcome ever so popular artist Misty Mawn, and in October is Sunny Carvahlo and Helen Shafer Garcia.
For more information on upcoming workshops, including Zen Doodle and Random Play days, please contact Jane at: randomarts@charter.net or call her at 828-749-1165. Random Arts is located at the corner of Louisiana and Ozone in the vintage craftsman style house with the bright orange door.

Other hours by appointment. Random Arts is located at 481 Louisiana Ave., Saluda, NC 28773. Click here for directions.  Baker's Artist Breakfast
Richard Baker Studio invites artists of all mediums, patrons, and friends to his monthly "Artist Breakfast," January 7 at his Saluda Studio located at 18 Church Street. The breakfast starts at 9:00 am and, "ends when it ends...."
Baker, a self-taught artist, hosts the breakfasts to provide anyone interested with the opportunity to network, share insight, meet new like-minded persons, and socialize with old friends. The casual get-together in Baker's comfortable studio is the perfect setting to "sit around, drink coffee and eat a continental breakfast, all the while pooling a group of people who might not otherwise have the time and place to associate with one another."
Richard provides the coffee, compliments of Honking Tonker's, and attendees are graciously asked to bring light breakfast-fare.
"Just follow the road to Saluda and plan to enjoy." Richard can be reached at his studio at 18 Church Street, through his Facebook page, or call at 828-234-1616.  The Old Chicken House
Our opening of the Old Chicken House "store" was interrupted by unexpected delays during the early fall. Now, however, we're realizing pleasant and nostalgic experiences as we unpack boxes and dresser drawers still packed after many years. Saleable items such as unique collectibles and a few antiques come from the possessions of three generations of the same family-mine. Some of the treasures include glass dishes and special pieces from the '20's and '30's, my Mom's old Singer peddle sewing machine, my collection of tiny glass or pottery pitchers gathered since childhood plus many old books, such as a set of instructions for teaching methods from the early 1900's. I hope others will find an item or two they will cherish and the items will find a new home. A new opening date will be announced soon. The Old Chicken House is located at 143 Mountain Page Road (approx. one mile from the RR tracks on Greenville Street). Phone 828-749-9718 (leave message.) Visit our new website at
 Saluda artist, Jim Carson, will hold an indoor painting workshop, titled "Painting in the Studio," on Thursday-Saturday, January 24-26, 2013. The workshop is sold out, but please contact Jim if you wish to be placed on a waiting list. The focus of the workshop will be to bring the energy and spontaneity of plein air paintings to the paintings that are painted from photographs. Simplifying shapes, bold marks, and learning values will be the emphasis. The workshop will be held in Jim's studio which is located on the second floor above the Saluda Grade Café and is open to all levels, from beginners to advanced.

Saluda Scoop

The latest news and the unusual offerings provided by Saluda shops, restaurants, accommodations, outdoor recreation, artists, and craftspeople.
All the Best - From The Oaks Bed and Breakfast
At the turn of the century, Saluda was known as the perfect retreat from the hustle of city life. Visitors flocked to this area to stay at one of 39 guest houses, inns and retreats. With a new year upon us, guests continue to visit this area for many of the same reasons they did in 1911.
Over the years, the number of inns has diminished and the demands of modern times has seen the profile and function of these historic properties change - private baths, air conditioning and wireless internet are the new standard.
While much has changed, we here at The Oaks Bed and Breakfast are proud to be a part of Saluda's mountain legacy and southern charm. From your first contact, you will know that "Hospitality" is more than a concept from a seminar of lecture.
With every season's progression, the mountains take on a new life. And through the years, things have changed. Still, the comforts of living remain much as they did in the days of the Vanderbilt's.
Experience the Blue Ridge from the comfort of a fine Victorian home. Full gourmet breakfast included. Rates and availability at:

Saluda Faces
Max McGinnas
| | |
Saluda Faces recognizes Saluda citizens that you may see often and wonder who they are, what they do, and why they live in Saluda.
 If you drive through Main Street in Saluda after Thanksgiving, then you have probably seen Max McGinnas. He is Saluda's chief bell ringer for the Salvation Army during the holiday season.
With a twinkle in his bright blue eyes, wispy white beard, rosy red cheeks, and warm, generous heart, he glows with the Christmas spirit and you feel like you are talking to Santa Claus. During the Saluda Hometown Christmas stroll this year, the red collection kettle surpassed a milestone with a record collection of $10,000 since Max and fellow Masonic Lodge members started six years ago.
He is proud of the community response to the Salvation Army bell ringing in Saluda and loves to tell the story of how the Saluda Bell Ringers got started. He was featured in the Hendersonville Times News in the "Got a Minute" column in 2008. In 2006, he went to the Salvation Army to volunteer to be a bell ringer, and while waiting for his assignment (bell ringing at a Wal-Mart, Ingles, etc.), it occurred to him that he could enlist help from his fellow lodge members and start the Salvation Army Saluda Bell Ringers.

Saludians pass along kind and thoughtful words of support to Max and his bell ringers, and there are a lot of stories to be told. One of his mo
st recent, memorable stories occurred this year during Saluda Hometown Christmas. A couple from Columbia, South America, now living in the Green Creek area of Polk County, came up the mountain to see what the Saluda Hometown Christmas was all about. His accent was such that you had to listen very carefully. She was from this area and easy to understand. The man and Max were kidding each other about trading hats, and the lady was telling Dale that she had not had much Christmas spirit in a long time. She was unhappy with the commercialism that had taken over and Dale thought maybe the traditions were different in South America. This lady said they had parked near the post office and started up Main Street. She couldn't see us for the crowd, but she began to hear the bell ringing, and even before she could see us, she knew it was the Salvation Army kettle bell ringers. She felt she was back home and told Dale, "you have given back to me my Christmas spirit."
Originally from Gastonia, NC, Max returned there in 1959 after serving three years in the army. Always loving the mountains, the family settled in Henderson County before work took them to the Midwest for a while. Loving the mountains, they returned to Western NC and built a log cabin in the Mountain Page community in Saluda 25 years ago.
After finally retiring from a successful 45 year career as a journeyman tool and die maker (and a brief, yet successful career in real estate in the 1970's), and his wife Dale's retirement from the food service industry, they plan to fill out the rest of their lives in Saluda.
Max and Dale celebrated 50 years of marriage in November and they have two sons, Robert and Edward. Robert is a Christian minister and pastor in Alamogordo, NM, and is married with one daughter, Natasha. Edward lives in Tuxedo and works for Hewlett Packard in Greenville, SC as a security analyst. He is also the sound technician at their church, Tuxedo First Baptist.
When he's not volunteering, Max enjoys fishing and wood carving. He does relief carving (carving pictures in wood) and carves unique walking sticks and hiking staffs which you can find at M.A. Pace General Store. You won't see Max without his favorite felt hat. He only changes it to a darker hat for church on Sunday and a canvas hat that he wears in the summer.
Max has enjoyed seeing the growth in tourists visiting Saluda on the weekend. He says, "You won't get bored living in Saluda; there is always something to do."
Thanks, Max, to you and all your bell ringers!

After Holiday Madness and Joy
| |
After a month of holiday madness and joy, January, for most of us, can be a quiet time to take stock and make plans for the New Year. One thing to consider during this time of reflection is our relationship with our natural environment and our resolve to contribute to its protection and restoration.
What can be done will vary depending on individual circumstances. Some may decide to become more vocal in defending our natural environment at every opportunity. Others may choose to contribute to the work of the Saluda Community Land Trust. This organization has done so much not only to enhance  the environment for wildlife but also to protect natural settings in which the human spirit can be rejuvenated. Others may contribute by resisting the impulse to cut trees unnecessarily or to clear undergrowth, thus further diminishing the needed food sources and cover for wildlife. Still others could be proactive by planting a tree or more shrubbery. Careful selection of

additional plant material can make a huge difference in achieving needed wildlife habitat.
It should not be overlooked that there have been significant plantings over the past few years to enhance our town's natural environment. The NCDOT planting in the interstate exchange, the garden clubs' plantings in town, and the SCLT's planting at the west end parking lot are excellent examples of this effort. Even with these efforts, it must be recognized that however much they may be appreciated, the total result has not offset the losses. Perhaps Saluda's two garden clubs, as well as other social and civic organizations, could do even more by taking on a project or collaborating with each other to enhance and protect the natural environment, as well as improve the appearance of our community. In addition, the constructive role the city might play should not be omitted. City government, reflecting our collective voice, could be at the forefront of this effort.

For those who have lived in Saluda for 30, 40, or more years and who have been careful observers of our natural surroundings, it is obvious that there has been a drastic loss of native and naturalized roadside flowers due to excessive mowing, weed eating, and soil disturbance. Queen Anne's Lace, sweet peas, Joe Pye Weed, Golden Rod, and Iron Weed-just to name a few-have been acutely diminished. Surely the resources devoted to this pursuit of neatness and "progress" could be directed toward a more productive end.
 Take some time on these cold January days to reflect on ways that you might be a part of preserving and enhancing our natural heritage so that future generations might know one of the things that has made Saluda special to you and to the many visitors to our town.

Isothermal Community College: A Best Kept Secret in Polk County
| | |
YOUR NEW CATALOGUE IS OUT! Hopefully, by now, you will have received a copy in the mail. If you want to go on-line, check out the following site: Isothermal and select "Polk Continuing education classes." Be patient. It takes a little while to load. Be sure to check out the possibilities before January 1 since some classes actually start that week or early the next week. Preregistration is required (call 828-894-3092) and the number of pre-registrants determines whether a course will "make." ("Digital Camera" class, beginning January 8 was mistakenly left out of brochure. See below.)
 Carolyn Michel teaches digital photography courses. Carolyn, at one time, was owner of a popular and successful consignment shop in Tryon called "Isadora's Closet." She later became a master trainer for the librarians in the Polk County Library, training them in the use of computers. She has been teaching at ICC for over 10 years, beginning with computer classes for the library and other computer applications. She also is the IT person for the Polk campus and is an artist. Her courses in digital photography were developed after many requests by students. She stated that "the digital camera makes it financially feasible for a photographer to take many pictures." She teaches a beginning class on digital cameras which stresses the basic mechanics of using the camera, which she describes as "a little computer." This course teaches students to use the camera and their computer to get the final result that they want using image editing software. She is willing to work with a student regardless of the camera they own. At times in a class, every student will have a different camera model, and although she may not know about all the cameras, she "will work with students to find out where to get information [on their personal camera] and to show them how to" use that information. She feels that "it is important to get to know the settings of your camera before taking" an actual photography class.
Once a photographer knows the camera's capabilities, they can use on-line courses, other courses, or a book to go further. As requests have come in, her courses in Photoshop have expanded from a first level course to Photoshop Elements I, Photoshop Elements II, and Photoshop Elements III. Photoshop Elements has "many of the features of Adobe Photoshop but with simpler and fewer options." These courses teach how to edit images, restore old photos, correct lighting and "red eye", improve the image, add or improve backgrounds, create scrapbook pages, or baby books and many other techniques and projects. The courses being offered in this semester are: Digital Camera, beginning on Tuesday, January 8 from 9am to noon (not in the catalogue but will be offered); Photoshop Elements I, beginning Wednesday, January 2 from 9am to noon; Photoshop Elements II, beginning on Wednesday, February 13 from 9am to noon; and Photoshop III, beginning on Wednesday, March 27 from 9am to noon. If you have questions about the courses, you can call Polk Center at 828-894-3092 or contact Carolyn by e-mail at cmichel@isothermal.edu.
Some of the other courses beginning in January are: Seniors Compute I, Word I, Introduction to Spanish I, Beginning Drawing, Carving Woodspirits, Multimedia Drawing, Open Studio, Botanical Drawing, Medieval Art and the Gothic Spirit, Beginning Watercolor, Fiction Workshop, Reading Jane Austen: Borrowing Her Style, Multimedia Painting, Introduction to Yi Jing, Tai Chi for Health, Tai Chi advanced and Practice, Intro to Qi Gong, 5 Steps to Perfect Skin, Retirement Has Changed: What's Your Next Move, Writing for a Purpose, Advertising Copywriting, Technical Writing, and several courses in agriculture and horsemanship. Many other courses begin in February or March. Check out the catalogue and find the course that interests you.

Make Some New Year's (Financial) Resolutions for 2013
| | |
We've reached 2013. To mark the occasion, consider these New Year's financial resolutions:
First, boost your contributions to your 401(k) or other employer-sponsored retirement plan. You typically contribute pre-tax dollars, so the more you put in, the lower your taxable income. Plus, your earnings can grow tax-deferred.
Also, don't over-react to negative headlines by taking a "time out" from investing. Make your decisions based on the fundamentals of the investments you're considering.
Next, try to reduce your debt load. The lower your debts, the more you'll have available to invest.
Here's another resolution: Re-balance your portfolio as needed so that it fits your risk tolerance. You don't want to take on too much risk, but, at the same time, you'll want to avoid investing too conservatively.
And finally, resolve to work with a financial professional this year. An experienced financial advisor can evaluate your situation objectively and make those recommendations that are appropriate for your needs.

Lee Mink started farming in Alabama as a home gardener in the 1980s with the aim of providing healthy food for his family. Less-than-ideal soil forced him to learn how to manage soil in the best way--experience. Mink is a great proponent of using cover crops, green manure and compost to improve soil health. As he learned more about big agribusiness and its detriments to the health of land and humans, he became an activist in the sustainable farming movement. Today, Mink owns Leap Farm in Mill Spring, Polk County, North Carolina. This bio-diverse, GMO-free, sustainable farm specializes in organic methods. Mink chooses to sell his produce within 25 miles of the farm. He insists that at its essence, sustainable farming is all about local service - local farms providing food to local residents and restaurants. Mink is also an expert in marketing and value-added products. He sells both wholesale and retail and knows there is a home for everything he plants when he plants it.
Lynn Ronzello grew up tending her mother's urban garden in the heart of Detroit, MI. "My family was urban "truck farmers" as they called it. We grew to eat, not necessarily to market. Once a mother, Lynn's aim was to grow to provide healthy food for her family, including all her own baby food. Organic was the only method used in those early days, prior to pesticides like DDT and Round Up-ready inputs and seeds. Seventeen years ago, Lynn and her family purchased 23 acres in Green Creek, now called Thunder Ridge Farm, where soil blocks, companion planting, soil health, row cover are part of her marks' for success: accepting sacrifice and learning what works and when is learned through her experience. " There is no one way to be sustainable. You must learn the basics from experienced growers and then tend your land based on what it reveals it needs and can yield for you. As my children have always been a part of tending the farm, be it the gardens, horses, or other animals, it's my daughter that I've learned the most from." Lynn's daughter, Jamie, owns her own organic farm, Barking Deer, on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai, where Lynn visits and assists in the sustainable farming often.

Nectar of the Gods (or the Devil)?
by Clark Thompson
| | |
For my many Baptist friends, you are hereby warned that you may not want to read any further. If you choose to continue, I assume no responsibility for any hellfire and brimstone that may cascade down upon your head.
The crafting of fine alcoholic spirits had been going on for centuries before early settlers, primarily of Scotch, Irish, and German descent, immigrated to our area of the mountains, bringing with them their own individual skills.
The finest maker of moonshine to ever come out of Saluda, bar none, had to be Ernest Heatherly. He somehow managed to mix his shine-making with employment as driver of a Saluda school bus and the city's only trash truck. He was known as a small-volume producer, perhaps the result of holding the two other jobs. Whatever the reason, his nectar undoubtedly had to be some of the best to ever pass over human lips. It was so smooth that no chaser was needed, even though it would probably have litmus tested somewhere north of 150 proof.
Years ago, I had several lawyer friends in Pensacola who depended on me to bring them back a gallon or two from my infrequent visits to Saluda. In turn, I relied on Charlie Ward to obtain the goods for me. However, on one trip he had not been successful and finally revealed that Ernest was his source. Luckily, my brother Perry and I were able to catch up with Ernest on Main Street where we delicately broached the subject. "Ernest, we need some good stuff to haul back to Florida. Charlie says you know where to get some?" "How much you looking to buy?" "Only 3 gallons." " How long you gonna be here?" "How long do we need to wait?" "Well, I got to go find this feller but I'll be back 'atter while."
About two hours later, Ernest showed up and instructed us to follow him down U. S. 176 for a ways. He finally pulled over at the intersection with Louisiana Avenue, popped the trunk lid, and there were the three gallon jugs. He never admitted that it was his own stuff, but when we started bragging about how good it was, he just smiled and said thank you.
One other well known maker was a fellow by the name of Otho Gosnell. His favorite mode for hauling his product in the earlier years was a souped-up and modified split V-8 engine under the hood of a '39 Ford coupe that could run like a dog with turpentine rubbed on its rear when the law lurked nearby. The shine was hidden inside welded storage compartments behind the interior upholstery, and heavy duty shocks and springs were added to carry the extra weight. Otho mostly hauled at night and you could assume that if the car looked level, then he was running heavy. When empty, the rear of the car would be jacked up several inches above normal and looking like a coon dog with his nose to the ground. I remember several nights of sitting on a bench in front of City Hall just shooting the breeze with our night cop, Carthur Metcalf, when suddenly the rumble of a high powered engine coming down Greenville Street would announce the arrival of that moonshine laden Ford coupe. Ever cautious of entrapment, Otho would approach U. S. 176 with headlights off. Later he graduated into carrying bigger loads to market in a tractor-trailer rig. It was said that he carefully hid the gallon jugs in the front portion of the trailer and subsequently filled the rest with vegetables, apples, or bales of hay.
For those of you desiring to make the best ever Episcopal version of eggnog in celebration of the New Year, you just might consider substituting moonshine for the other alcoholic beverage your recipe calls for. Not to worry, the legal stuff is now available in many liquor stores, although probably not as smooth and tasty as was Ernest's "Special."
Ironically, his granddaughter, Melissa Heatherly Wood, now manages Ward's Grill and puts just as much pride and quality into her cooking as her grandfather put into his type of cooking. The only problem is that she never learned his recipe.
Shame, shame!!!!
