Block grant to add jobs, enhance connectivityby Samantha Hurst

Sara and Tim Bell of Green River Adventures have high ambi-tions for the future of their Saluda business, with a plan to open a new outpost, The Gorge, offering

zipline canopy tours in the Green Rive Gorge in May 2013.

“We believe it would be, if not the best, one of the best tours in the Southeast,” Tim said of the course, which will take zipliners over 125 acres of mature forest.

Canopy tours are specific types of zipline adventures that through harnesses and steel cables take

advantage of gravity to propel individuals from platform to platform through the tops of thick forests. The idea of the tours, the Bells say, is to allow people to experience the wilderness from a unique vantage point.

those two ridges the views are just phenomenal because you are looking out over Green River gamelands,” Sara said.

Green River Adventures’ out-post for The Gorge canopy tours would be located at the end of Honeybee Drive in Saluda, just off Holbert Cove Rd. The prop-erty is adjacent to 10,000 acres of gamelands.

Sara Bell said initial plans for the tour include 1,100 verti-cal feet from top to bottom with eight ziplines, including four that would be more than 1,000 feet in length. She said they also plan to include three sky bridges and two freefall repels. All of the platforms included will have 180-degree views, she added.

Polk County’s Economic De-velopment Director Libbie John-son said the business is a great fit for the type of industry the county wants to see.

“The outdoor industry is one

of the fastest growing segments right now in the country, even in a recession,” Johnson said. “It’s the kind of business that we want. Its not a pollutant, it brings in young people, it uses our natural resources without abusing them – it’s a great fit.”

Sara Bell opened the kayaking business at a location off Interstate 26 in 2006, but the business really caught steam when the couple moved to their current location in downtown Saluda in 2011.

“When we moved downtown we saw a significant increase in our tourism-related business (inflatable kayaking and guided hikes) because more foot traffic passed by as people were walking among the shops and restaurants,” Sara said.

The Bells saw the potential for expanding their kayaking busi-ness, with the addition of canopy tours, two years ago but it took until now for all the pieces to come together; the land coming up for

sale and rewording of a county ordinance allowed their plans to move forward.

Green River Adventures worked with the county’s plan-ning department and county com-missioners to amend the county’s zoning ordinances to allow for nature-oriented non-motorized outdoor recreation as a permitted use in multiple use zoning. The property falls under multiple use zoning which previously only allowed for recreational facilities such as bowling alleys and skat-ing rinks.

“I’ve never seen our political community come together with such a solid front,” Sara said. “Every single member of the commission was involved in dis-cussions about how to make this work as well as all the members of the planning board. All but one even came out to the site.”

Now all the Bells need to fulfill their business plan is a Commu-nity Development Block Grant through the Small Business and Entrepreneurial Assistance Grant Program (SBEA).

To be eligible for such grants, a municipality must request grant funds from the North Carolina Department of Commerce on behalf of a business. The City of Saluda agreed to do this in early October and requested a grant in

the amount of $250,000 for the company.

Other restrictions on the funds require that the grant be awarded to an existing company in opera-tion for two or more years with one to 100 employees. The busi-ness must also have a specific idea in mind that would create jobs. The Bells plan to add at least 10 full-time positions including tour guides, an outpost manager and trip leaders.

According to the Bells, the money would allow them to devel-op the canopy tour by funding the actual construction of the course. The couple has already purchased the two necessary properties.

This grant, if awarded, would also benefit the city of Saluda by providing it with $5,000 to install a Wi-Fi antennae to provide wire-less Internet access along Main Street.

Sara Bell is enthusiastic about this aspect of the grant because she said it would also boost the potential for additional small busi-ness growth in Saluda.

Johnson agreed the Bell’s ex-pansion would only further benefit surrounding businesses.

“We want our tourism to flour-ish because that gives our busi-nesses more traffic than they would have if we didn’t have more people drawn to our area,” Johnson said.

in order to move forward with the project.

Columbus is paying for the upgrades to the approximate 40-year-old wastewater treatment plant through a zero interest loan obtained from the DENR Con-struction Grant and Loans Section Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program. The $2.75 million loan will be for 20 years with reimburse-ments beginning after construction begins. The town contracted with W.K. Dickson for engineering of the project and budgeted the engineering contract funding in this year’s budget, which will be reimburesed by the loan.

Columbus council members visited its treatment plant last Octo-ber with members returning to say the town has no choice but to up-grade its plant. The plant no longer

meets state standards. Upgrades include replacing several aspects of the plant but it will remain at its current 800,000 gallon per day capacity following the upgrade.

Original plans were for the plant rehabilitation as well as up-grades being done to the hospital pump station and bringing a fifth well online, but the state looked more favorably on awarding the loan if only the treatment plant upgrade was included.

Planned upgrades to the waste-water treatment plant include a new laboratory, a second chlorine contact chamber and a new water supply well for the plant as well as general upgrades to meet stan-dards.

Columbus plans to pay back the loan through its water and sewer fund, with rate increases imple-mented in fiscal year 2011-2012. There were no rate increases this fiscal year, which began July 1.

Johnson said Polk County is positioned well to thrive through supporting outdoor recreation, which accounts for $646 billion in Americans’ spending each year, according to the Outdoor Industry association.

The Bells said they also want to make sure the community feels good about their expansion.

Tim said a select number of trees would be trimmed to cre-ate a path from one platform to another platform but said no clear-cutting would be done to create the course.

“Our plan is to build the can-opy tour so that in 20 years, you could take the platforms off the trees and no one would know we were ever there,” Tim said. “We’re working with live trees, so part of that business is to keep the forest healthy.”

Honeybee Drive, meanwhile, is a gravel residential road that includes four homes.

“We are super sensitive to the fact that this is going to be a com-mercial use in an area that has been residential forever,” Sara

said. “We want to do everything we can to make sure everyone is happy with it.”

The Bells said they would be taking on maintenance of Hon-eybee Road, including grading the road and restructuring the drainage. They said they also only anticipate 10 participants per trip, with trips leaving every hour.

Sara said they encourage any community member who has questions about the project to contact them.

The company’s business plan expects trips to run from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. This year they are shooting to open in May with a plan to run trips March – November. No trips would run in December, January or February.

The City of Saluda and the Bells should hear back about whether or not they will receive grant monies by the end of the year.

F o r m o r e i n f o r m a -tion, visit greenrivergorge.com or find the tour on face-book at www.facebook.com/TheGorgeCanopyTour?ref=hl. To reach the Bells through Green River Adventures, call 828-749-2800.



A fun-filled art class will be offered for kids ages 8 to 14 on Friday, Nov. 23, the day after Thanksgiving, from 9 a.m. – noon. Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS) is presenting a three-hour class taught by Verlie Murphy, a TPS member and an encaustic wax artist.

This is an exciting opportunity for kids to use their imagination to create a kaleidoscopic design from paper cut stencils. This unusual workshop integrates colored paper in such a way that it resembles the cut glass seen in kaleidoscopes, and just like snowflakes, no two designs will ever be the same. Verlie has been teaching this method of drawing and coloring to children and adults for 10 years and has found this to be especially use-ful for those who are dyslexic. Several of her works are hanging at Mott’s Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, Mich. She was fea-

tured in the ‘Guild of American Papercutters Magazine’ in 2005 for her kaleidoscopic designs. You can see more of her work on Facebook under her Kaleido-scopic Design Fun page or on her website verliemurphy.com.

The cost of the workshop will include some materials. A list of additional supplies will be sent out upon registration.

To register for this workshop contact Christine Mariotti at [email protected] or 828-859-8392.

The weather could not have been more perfect for that early morning launch.

Actor David Novak will present a story-telling program at the Lanier Library on Sat-urday, Nov. 10 at 2 p.m. The program is free and everyone is welcome.

Following on his successful children’s program at the Lanier Library in July, David Novak, described as “a master of liter-ary collage,” is returning to do another program, this time for adults.

Novak performs at festi-vals, schools and theatrical events throughout the United States, including the Cincinnati Playhouse, Woodstock Theatre Company, Lincoln Center Insti-tute, Los Angeles Music Center and the Northern Appalachian and Sierra Storytelling Festi-vals.

He is a co-founder of the National Yakkers Theatre En-semble and creator of The Storyteller’s Compass, which

he describes as a new method of “narrative wayfinding.” In 2002 he received the Circle of Excellence Award from the National Storytelling Network.

Novak provides animated programs on universal themes and was described in “Smith-sonian Magazine” as: “A gifted storyteller who enhances his stories with a bag of tricks. His fluid voice can become a dozen different characters.” At the Houston Storytelling Festi-val he was given the following description: “In him, the Broth-ers Grimm and Carl Jung meet Monty Python.”

Novak’s performance at the Lanier Library is provided by the Kirby Fund and the Polk County Foundation. His books and recordings are available on his website at www.novateller.com.

Jeff Thomas (left), Polk County High School art teacher, and Barry Gee (right), Polk County toy run director stand with Alessandra Akers, winner of the artwork for the 2012 T-shirts that will be sold at the toy run to raise money for needy Polk County children. Alessandra won $100 and a T-shirt with her artwork. The art classes at PCHS are drawing artwork for the 2013 T-shirts this year and next year’s winner will be chosen before the Thanksgiving holidays. The Polk County Toy Run takes place on Nov. 24 beginning at the Saluda Fire Department between 11 a.m.-2 p.m. The motorcycles will pass through Saluda to Tryon (2:20 p.m.) to Landrum (2:30 p.m.) to Green Creek (2:40 p.m.) to Mill Spring (3 p.m.) and to its destination at the Columbus courthouse (3:10 p.m.) where toys will be placed on the courthouse steps. All are welcome to join us at Saluda Fire Department or anywhere along the route. Santa will be along for the ride. Please come out and bring the kids so they can tell Santa what they want for Christmas and wave at the motorcyclists. “This run is all about the kids and the kid in all of us,” Gee said.

FENCE invites the Carolina Carriage Club and other Whips to a Craig Kellogg Driving Clinic, Nov. 10-11.

Kellogg, with many years of teaching and competition both in the United S ta t e s and internation-a l l y, m o s t r e c e n t l y judged the CCC Plea-su re Show a t Harmon Field in Try-on in 2011.

Kellogg is no stranger to FENCE, having officiated as judge at the Carolina Carriage Club’s sixth annual Pleasure Driving and Dressage Show June 1 and 2, 2002.

In 2007, Kellogg was TD (technical delegate) for the CCC Horse Driving Trial.

This year’s clinic is free for spectators and auditors, and offers an opportunity to spend a day (or two) exploring this unique facility.

Saturday’s clinic will be at the equestrian center of FENCE -- outdoors unless the weather dictates a retreat to the multi-purpose covered arena.

On Sunday the clinic moves to nearby Mahler’s Meadow where the topic will be “obsta-cles,” including water crossing.

There i s no parking a t this site for spectators, (who are welcome to hike in from FENCE) but the annual FENCE Fall Hunter Pace (part of the Western Carolina Hunter Pace

Series) may provide a good bit of action at the main FENCE Equestrian Center, as well as on the Cross Country course at the Nature Center (the water hazard is a popular playground for riders!)

F o r m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n about the clinic, call 828-859-9021, 864-569-6293 or email mailto:[email protected] or visit www.fence.org. For more infor-mation about the hunter pace, call FENCE 828-859-9021 or visit www.wchpace.org.

The hunter pace rain date is the following Sunday, Nov.18.

The October meeting of Foot-hills Music Club Inc. was held on Oct. 11 at the Red Fox home of Eleanor and LeRoy Roemer.

After the meeting was ad-journed by President Jeanette Shackelford, the “Musical Mix-ture” program began.

Claude Debussy’s lovely “Reverie” was performed, piano four hands, by Karen Killough and Ann Morgan. The two pianists cleverly ducked and dodged each other’s fingers while playing this 1890 piece. The second and third numbers on the program were nicely played by pianist Krysti Hamlin: the slow and sorrowful “Gymnopedie No. 1” by eccentric French composer, Eric Satie, and Beethoven’s Sonata No. 25, op. 79, Andante, showing the com-poser’s sensitive side.

Another side of Ludwig Van Beethoven was well exhibited by hostess Ellie Roemer as she

The 1940s Radio Hour

A Nostalgic Musical

performed on piano his fast and furious Sonata No. 6, op. 10, No. 2 Allegro. It was learned that the brilliant composer wrote his first symphony at age 40 and was deaf by age 45. Also heard was a quote of Beethoven’s, “I must write my music to the eternal glory of God.”

New FMC member and pia-nist, Meryt Wilson, delighted the membership with a current composer’s (SLANE, trad, Irish, arr. Cindy Berry) version of the lovely hymn, “Be Thou My Vi-sion.” Wilson then, by memory, performed Claude Debussy’s “Jardin sous la pluie.” Rain, then only sprinkles, were heard indeed.

For the final numbers of the day’s program, Jeri Board, so-prano, lilted “How Are Things in Glocca Morra” from Finian’s

Rainbow, a Broadway show that had 725 performances, circa 1937, music by Burton Lane, words by E. Y. “Yip” Harburg. Dr. Board then sang “Speak Low” from One Touch Of Venus, a show in which Mary Martin played the lead role. Music by Kurt Weill, words by Ogden Nash. Jeanette Shackel-ford, pianist, accompanied Dr. Board on both numbers.

FMC, Inc. is very excited about its upcoming 25th anni-versary in 2013. Stay tuned for announcements of FMC’s two upcoming public performances on Jan. 10 and March 14, 2013 and more.

FMC’s goals continue to be nurturing its members in qual-ity musicianship and offering scholarships to the area’s talented young musicians.

Editor’s note: This article is another in a series about plant species in Polk County. The Pacolet Area Conservancy (PAC) and David Campbell will provide information about one particular plant species each month. They ask residents to let them know if they can identify where the “most wanted plant” described each month can be found in the area.

In a joint effort to expand the knowledge and understanding of the flora (and fauna) of Polk County, the Pacolet Area Conser-vancy (PAC) and David Campbell need your help in locating this month’s “Most W a n t e d —Plant,” Yucca filamentosa, also known by the common names: Adam’s Needle, Beargrass, Spoonleaf Yucca, and Curlyleaf Yucca, to name a few.

While PAC is interested in “Polk County’s Most Wanted-Plants,” at times, especially during the winter months, PAC may highlight “Polk County’s Most Wanted-Animal.” This month PAC and David Campbell are interested in both. Yucca filamentosa is the host plant for the larvae of two butter-flies, the Yucca Giant-skipper (Megathymus yuccae), a watch list species in North Carolina, and the Cofaqui Giant-skipper (Megathymus cofaqui), listed as significantly rare in North Caro-lina. By locating the host plant, we hope to locate evidence of the larva which would indicate the occasional presence of the mobile butterfly. There is a re-cord of Cofaqui Giant-skipper in Polk County, but it has not been seen since 1990. The but-terfly was collected from White Oak Mountain near Tryon Peak. Recent attempts to relocate this rare butterfly have been unsuc-cessful due to habitat destruc-tion; a housing development now occupies the site where the

butterfly was found. The only other record of the Cofaqui Giant-skipper in North Carolina is from Alexander County.

Yucca filamentosa is native to the Southeast but most abundant in the Coastal Plain. It is an ev-ergreen shrub that can be found in woodlands, forests, dunes, roadsides, and disturbed areas. Although this native plant will not be in flower right now, the plant can be identified by the leaves. The stiff, sword-like leaves can be up to 2 ½ feet long and are usually 1-3 inches

wide with paral-lel veins. The leaf margin of younger leaves have fibrous, twisted white strands or fila-ments.

Yucca filamentosa is the host plant for the Yucca Giant-skipper and the Cofaqui Giant-skipper larvae (caterpillars). The but-terflies produce one generation each year, laying large, amber-brown eggs singly on the leaves of Yucca from February to May, depending on the location. Af-ter hatching, young larvae feed on host leaves. As they mature, older larvae bore into the plant crown and feed within the root, constructing a prominent silken tent or chimney at the opening of the burrow, a key indicator to their presence.

If landowners think that they have Yucca filamentosa grow-ing on their property, or know where it might be located, please contact PAC at 828-859-5060, or e-mail comments, questions, or photos to, [email protected].

The purpose of this project is to gain a better understand-ing of the flora (and fauna) in Polk County and document the species present in the county, making sure that the flora (and fauna) of Polk County is well documented.

As the Nonprofit Leadership column concludes in discussing marketing for nonprofits, this last article will give you ad-ditional tips to consider when putting your marketing plan together and implementing it.

After the many articles on social media and the Internet presence, I hope you now see that the next step in the mar-keting plan of developing and maintaining a professional Internet presence is a great investment. In achieving this step the nonprofit organization should have a useful website.

The website should serve as a great resource in delivering information, news, the monthly newsletters, events, create com-munity, a resource for donors to donate money and showcase the benefits of the nonprofit.

A vital tool in the marketing plan and strategy is the donor database. A nonprofit’s do-

nor database and its resources should not be wasted. Instead it should be used in identifying and communicating with your target markets. This includes special mailings, special event invitations, alliance develop-ment and overall market seg-mentation.

An impor-tant component that should be included in all nonprofit mar-keting plans is to show and advertise the results and objectives that your organi-zation achieves.

There is not a target market within the nonprofit organiza-tion that it would not be effec-tive to deliver these results to. The target market(s) to deliver these achievements include; cli-ents – those receiving benefits, donors, funders and foundations that are supporting the organi-

zation and potential clients and funders.

The last step in developing and delivering the marketing plan is always search for al-liances within the nonprofit sector and outside the sector with for-profit businesses. In

doing so this collaborat ion could double the organiza-tion’s market-ing efforts. It is no secret that

for-profit businesses sponsor nonprofit organizations for the marketing and advertising components.

Consider and plan on how to collaborate with other non-profits to then partner with a for-profit business to increase the overall marketing for both nonprofit organizations.

My parting thought for you on the marketing plan within

your nonprofit organization is to take time to plan and review your nonprofits messages to ensure they are relevant in the current environment. While all of us have different political views, I am sure all of us can agree the current environment and economy is not the most helpful for the nonprofit sec-tor. Nonprofits would benefit greatly now by evolving their messages to make sure they match the real world that your target market(s) are living in today.

It is also with sadness that I now tell you that this is the last Nonprofit Leadership column.

It has been my pleasure over the last five years writing these columns. I truly hope they have been helpful for you and your organization. In the future, if I can be of assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me at [email protected].

On Nov. 8, the Green Blades Garden Club will enjoy the tal-ents of Ginny Rostick, herself a garden club member. She is going to demonstrate how to make a garland using magnolia leaves. With magnolia trees in

abundance locally, this should offer inspiration for the attend-ees to decorate their homes for the upcoming holidays. Another treat that day is that the hostess, Carolyn Jones, and her co-hostesses Betty Cline, Lynette

Conrad and Jeannie Daniel will serve a luncheon. Therefore, please note, that the gathering will start at 12:30 p.m. for this event.

Join other dancers at Sun-nydale on Nov. 7 for a 6:30 p.m. lesson and 7– 9:30 p.m. for danc-ing. It doesn’t matter if you are 17 or 95, you can have a good time. Dress casually; you don’t need a

partner or fancy footwork. Caller and live musicians round out the evening.

Hope to see you there. Spon-sored by Tryon Downtown De-velopment Association and blu-

eridgecontra. Admission at the door.

For more information, contact Happy McLeod at 828-283-1177.
