The
Hendersonville Times News
|
The Hendersonville Times-News gave me a taste of the prototypical small-town paper. Adjusting to a new community so fast proved a challenge, but it also opened my eyes to the importance of building a good rapport with your sources and learning to navigate and feel at home in new surroundings. Hendersonville is never a place I want to live, but being there for a summer was a great learning experience and made me all the more eager to explore new communities.

| July 28, 2001 “More fun this way.” Those words, printed in bright purple letters, covered a sign placed within the Cingular Wireless Kids Expression Land, but the banner would have been suitable anywhere in downtown Asheville as the 23rd Bele Chere festival kicked off Friday afternoon. Gray clouds, sprinkles of rain and brisk winds served as a backdrop to the multitude of food, music and vendors that traditionally mark the coming of what is billed as the Southeast’s largest free street festival of the arts. |
August 4, 2001 Two candidates narrowly beat the noon deadline Friday to file for this fall’s Hendersonville municipal elections. The field is now set and includes four candidates for mayor and seven candidates for two seats on City Council. Mark White, a businessman who operates an auction-real estate appraisal company and the Hendersonville Antiques Mall, announced that he will challenge Gaysha Snipes, Thomas Hyder and incumbent Fred Niehoff for the position of mayor. |
July 30, 2001 BREVARD — Officials hope that a piece of equipment they recently purchased will help them plug the holes in the city’s pipelines. The holes are responsible for leaking hundreds of thousands of gallons of water a day in Brevard. Brevard Utilities Director Don Byers said the device, a closed-circuit camera system that can travel within the confines of sewer pipes, has already helped utility workers find several spots that were leaking an estimated 140,000 gallons a day. |

ArtFest
takes to the street this weekend
|
| August 10, 2001 To travelers on the Blue Ridge Parkway, the spruce pines that are densely grouped beneath Mt. Hardy hold no special significance. But this weekend, those 125,000 trees will be recognized for the reason they were originally planted — as a living memorial to North Carolina Confederate veterans. |
August 3, 2001 Security guards patrolled Hendersonville’s Main Street on Thursday night, protecting the thousands of valuables that will be on sale when ArtFest on Main kicks off at 10 a.m. today. To accommodate the increased demand for vendor space, the former Sidewalk Art Show is taking over 10 blocks of Main Street this year |
