Green River Adventure owners Sara and Tim Bell plan to expand their business. This shot was taken from their website, www.greenrivergorge.com.

Green River Adventures seeks expansion Block grant to add jobs, enhance connectivity

by Samantha Hurst

Sara and Tim Bell of Green River Adventures have high ambitions 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’ outpost for The Gorge canopy tours would be located at the end of Honeybee Drive in Saluda, just off Holbert Cove Rd. The property is adjacent to 10,000 acres of gamelands.

Sara Bell said initial plans for the tour include 1,100 vertical 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 Development Director Libbie Johnson 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 business, 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 (Continued on page 4)

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

Green River Adventures worked with the county’s planning department and county commissioners 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 skating 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 discussions 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 Community 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 operation for two or more years with one to 100 employees. The business 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 develop 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 wireless 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 business growth in Saluda.

Johnson agreed the Bell’s expansion would only further benefit surrounding businesses.

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

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 create a path from one platform to another platform but said no clearcutting would be done to create the course.

“Our plan is to build the canopy 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.”

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 Construction Grant and Loans Section Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program. The $2.75 million loan will be for 20 years with reimbursements 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 October with members returning to say the town has no choice but to upgrade its plant. The plant no longer

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 Honeybee 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.

Original plans were for the plant rehabilitation as well as upgrades 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 wastewater 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 standards.

Columbus plans to pay back the loan through its water and sewer fund, with rate increases implemented in fiscal year 2011-2012.

There were no rate increases this fiscal year, which began July 1.

Kaleidoscopic workshop for kids 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.

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 useful for those who are dyslexic.

Actor, David Novak, presents story-telling program at Lanier Library Actor David Novak will present a story-telling program at the Lanier Library on Saturday, 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 literary collage,” is returning to do another program, this time for adults.

Novak performs at festivals, schools and theatrical events throughout the United States, including the Cincinnati Playhouse, Woodstock Theatre Company, Lincoln Center Institute, Los Angeles Music Center and the Northern Appalachian and Sierra Storytelling Festivals.

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

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. (photo submitted by Barry Gee)

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

(photo Kellogg is submitted) 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 multipurpose covered arena.

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

There is no parking at 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

Suzi Dixon and Franny have the finish in sight. (photo by Hoofclix.com)

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!)

For more information about the clinic, call 828-8599021, 864-569-6293 or email mailto:info@fence.org or visit www.fence.org. For more information 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 Foothills Music Club Inc. was held on Oct. 11 at the Red Fox home of Eleanor and LeRoy Roemer.

After the meeting was adjourned by President Jeanette Shackelford, the “Musical Mixture” 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 composer’s sensitive side.

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

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 pianist, Meryt Wilson, delighted the membership with a current composer’s (SLANE, trad, Irish, arr. Cindy Berry) version of the lovely hymn, “Be Thou My Vision.” 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, soprano, 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 Shackelford, pianist, accompanied Dr. Board on both numbers.

FMC, Inc. is very excited about its upcoming 25th anniversary 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 quality musicianship and offering scholarships to the area’s talented young musicians.

Creating and implementing marketing together nonprofits As the Nonprofit Leadership column concludes in discussing marketing for nonprofits, this last article will give you additional 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 marketing 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 community, 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-

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 sector. 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.
