Saluda receives improved ISO rating of 5/6 from state Saluda Fire & Rescue recently received official notification from the N.C. Office of State Fire Marshall of a new ISO rating of 5/6, which will go into effect Sept. 1.

“Our members devoted much of their time to help prepare for the rating. We are happy to provide the citizens

of Saluda with a lower ISO rating, which will decrease their homeowner’s insurance,” said Saluda Deputy Fire Chief Zach Pace.

The rating dropped from the former ISO rating of a 7 within the city’s five-mile district.

The new class 5 rating applies to properties with a fire

flow of 3,500 gpm (gallons per minute) or less and within 1,000 feet of a fire hydrant.

The class 6 rating applies to properties with a fire flow of 3,500 gpm. Class 9E applies to all other properties within the five-mile fire district.

The Office of State Fire Marshal conducted the in-

they’ve done. They tightened things up. They make things work. They made us money and I’m just so proud of the people that work for this town.”

Columbus’ new budget will include a one-cent tax increase for fire service as the Polk County Board of Commissioners has agreed to grant the request in order for the fire department to be fully staffed.

Columbus’ proposed budget does not include any property tax increases or rate increases for next fiscal year, which be-

gins July 1. The town’s general fund budget is proposed at $924,445 and its water/sewer fund is proposed at $1,097,800, including the salary increases.

The tax rate is proposed to increase from 39 cents per $100 of property valuation to 40 cents per $100 of valuation, with five cents of that being for fire service including the increase.

Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on the new budget on Thursday, June 21 at 7 p.m. and plans to adopt the new budget following the hearing.

so the town will have to lay new pipe and reconnect customers in order to install fire hydrants.

Hall agreed with the majority of council, saying the employees are a big part of what makes Columbus great and he thinks they should be rewarded.

“They bend over backwards,” Hall said. “It’s the leadership that gives our citizens something to be proud of. I think it’s time they deserve a little bit for what

Arborist to assist TFAC with phase one of master site plan As part of their commitment to enhancing, developing and preserving the natural beauty of the Melrose Avenue campus, the Tryon Fine Arts Center has engaged arborist Alan Greene to help preserve and cultivate the campus trees during Phase I of the master site building plan.

“Besides having issues with insects and excessive ivy, some of the trees have become diseased and stressed over the years,” says TFAC President Rebecca Barnes.

“We are working with an arborist who will help us make decisions that will keep the property beautiful for years to come and will protect the trees.”

Phase I of the master site plan focuses on the exterior of the property. Plans are in place to keep most of the existing trees and add 30 new ones, creating a community park for families and groups to gather to celebrate the arts and other events.

Landscape architect Mark Byington, creator of the TFAC plan, says, “Several noble trees have been selected for the project, including Overcup oak, swamp white oak, Princeton American elm, tulip poplar, tupelo and steeple sugar maple. These regionally

native species and varieties were chosen for their climactic adaptability and dependability in terms of strong, uniform growth and disease and pest resistance.”

Tree work will begin in early June. Phase I is scheduled to be complete by March of 2013.

More information regarding the TFAC project can be found at the project website: www. tfacmasterplan.com or by calling 828-859-8322.

dunes I was greeted by howls of laughter and joy from the watching funeral party, who had observed it all. Well, so much for clerical aplomb.

To this day there is a story circulating around Chesapeake Bay of the time when the death angel appeared one dark November evening to terrorize poor beachcombers and their little dogs before disappearing into the waves, perhaps to return again.

Nope! Not gonna happen!

Nuh-uh!

FENCE Father’s Day bird hike

Foothills Humane Society receives donation from Garden Patch

Garden Patch Nursery owner Jeanine Gauen (right) presents a donation to Foothills Humane Society (FHS) Executive Director Selena Coffey. The Garden Patch held a special “Plants for Pets” day and donated 10 percent of all sales to FHS. The shelter on-the-road crew was at the nursery during the event and four animals were placed in “forever” homes. “We admire and applaud all the efforts and achievements of the Foothills Humane Society and wanted to do our part to support them,” said Gauen. (photo submitted by Barbara Clegg)

Well-known ornithologist and birding expert Simon Thompson will conduct a summer birding hike at FENCE on June 17 at 8 a.m. This will be the third in the series.

Thompson is the director and originator of Ventures Inc. and also the co-owner of Wild Birds Unlimited Nature Shop in Asheville, N.C. The hike will begin at the main FENCE Center building.

Hikers should come prepared with a pair of comfortable walking shoes, water and binoculars.

The FENCE Nature Hike series is offered free of charge with the support of the Kirby Endowment Fund at the Polk County Community Foundation.

For more information, contact FENCE at 828-859-9021 or info@fence.org.

The company performed three sold-out performances at Dance Theatre Workshop. But Kepley found the financial realities of running a dance company in the Big Apple could not be ignored.

“It didn’t look like we’d be able to repeat it,” Kepley said. “I was really discouraged because everyone who had been involved seemed to really love the experience.”

Then, in early 2011, calls began to come in from North Carolina supporters.

“We don’t get to see a lot of professional dance in Asheville,” Kepley said. “For a city that offers so much diverse culture, it’s still really lacking in that area.”

Besides the opportunity for artistic creation, a lack of dance awareness in modern culture was Kepley’s motivation.

“I want ballet to feel important; to feel current,” Kepley said. “I want people to understand that it can convey complex ideas and emotions and that it’s not just tutus and tiaras.”

Six dancers from Ballet Austin, Colorado Ballet, Kansas City Ballet and Nashville Ballet will travel to Asheville to participate

in the residency this summer.

Kepley will create a new ballet set to an original piano composition

by University of North Carolina School of the Arts graduate Bruce Tippette. He has also invited two other choreographers to participate in the project: Gabrielle Lamb and Brian Carey Chung.

Chung, who has his own company called Collective Body Dance Lab in New York City, has created works for Cedar Lake II and Connecticut Ballet.

“When you’re a freelancer… and based in New York, everything becomes that much more difficult,” Lamb said. “This is a wonderful chance to have that all taken care of, to go someplace and to concentrate on the work.”

Kepley said MOTION believes it can challenge and inspire people to think about art in a new way.

“The audience may come and see something new and be absolutely captivated,” Kepley said. “We hope that they leave with thoughts and questions. We don’t even mind if they don’t love everything they see. We just want them to think.”

Cover up…

MOTION Dance +Theatre will present a program called “Creation of Dance” at the Tryon Fine Arts Center on Thursday, June 21 at 7 p.m. The program will feature three world-premiere works created especially for this occasion, as well as moderated discussion on the creative process.

How do you keep a centuries old art form feeling relevant? Can something commonly linked to beauty and purity also give voice to complicated world issues?

These are precisely the questions Asheville area native Nick Kepley said he is asking himself. And with the creation of his dance company, MOTION Dance+Theatre, he said he began to find the answers.

Kepley describes MOTION as a “choreographic laboratory,” rather than a traditional concert performance company. Each summer, he chooses six dancers and two guest choreographers and provides them with three weeks of restriction-free time to create.

Kepley, who has danced professionally with Ballet Austin and Kansas City Ballet as well as on Broadway, founded the company in 2010.
