Adopted Operating & Capital ADOPTED OPERATING & CAPITAL BUDGET FISCAL YEAR 2020/21 /21 About the Cover - Catawba County’s New Brand Platform: Making. Living. Better. In early 2018, Catawba County began rolling out a new community brand platform: Making. Living. Better. Prior to then, Catawba County government had not focused on community branding or marketing as part of its communications efforts – so why branding, and why now? The Catawba County Board of Commissioners designated branding and marketing as one of eight critical action areas in its strategic plan, which is aimed at increasing population and economic growth throughout the county. The County recognized that significant efforts to promote our community have been in motion for many years – from the Hickory Metro Convention Center & Visitors Bureau’s longtime destination marketing strategies to the City of Hickory’s successful Life. Well Crafted. campaign. However, in order to be a good partner in these efforts, the County needed to play a more active role. To get started, the County worked with a national community branding firm to develop the County’s first brand platform. The process involved several months of research that included County tours, interviews, focus groups, surveys of Catawba County, Charlotte and Asheville residents, and discussions with statewide influencers in the areas of economic development, tourism, and education. The goal of the research was to identify the assets that make Catawba County both appealing and unique. Some of the assets identified through the research include the County’s convenient and accessible geographic location, high quality of life, respected manufacturing legacy, beautiful outdoors, kind and welcoming people, reputation as makers and doers, and collaborative spirit. The research served as the foundation for a creative process that culminated in the development of a tagline and logo to help define the County’s identity and story: Making. Living. Better. Making refers to the community’s legacy as makers and doers: we make things happen. Living refers to quality of life: we enjoy our location, our amenities, and our people. Better refers to the community’s “can do” spirit: we work together to make a difference. That story is enhanced by a graphic logo that visually represents many of these same themes: The outer circle resembles a gear, which symbolizes Catawba County’s legacy as makers and doers. The inner circle resembles a second gear, because two gears working together drive things forward. This represents Catawba County’s collaborative spirit. The nature scene, with the foothills and the river, creates a sense of place for the County and symbolizes its good quality of life. The foothill is an outline of Bakers Mountain, the highest and most visible peak in the County, and the water represents the Catawba River – two natural assets that speak to the County’s remarkable outdoors.

  • 1 André Michaux and the Discovery of Magnolia Macrophylla in North
    Published in CASTANEA, Vol. 64, No. 1, (March 1999) André Michaux and the Discovery of Magnolia macrophylla in North Carolina Charlie Williams 6720 Wheeler Dr., Charlotte, N. C. 28211 ABSTRACT Magnolia macrophylla has been variously reported in the literature as having been discovered by André Michaux (1746-1802) in either North Carolina in 1789 or Tennessee in 1795 or perhaps by William Bartram (1739-1823) in Alabama in the 1770’s. The present study uses a variety of source materials, including primary sources, to sort out the conflicting geographic claims and proposes the location of Michaux’s North Carolina sites from new field studies. INTRODUCTION André Michaux is honored both as the author of the first flora of North America, Flora Boreali-Americana which was published posthumously (Michaux 1803a), and as the authority for scores of plants (Uttal 1984). He secured his place in botanical history with his work in North America, having been sent to the United States by the French government of Louis XVI in 1785. His principal mission, an economic one, was to find new species of trees which could be used to replant the forests of France, which had been depleted of the best timber for shipbuilding during a century of warfare with Great Britain. He also sought interesting new ornamental garden plants. The French were eager to resume the introduction of new species from North America into Europe, a flow that recently had been interrupted by the American Revolution. Although the French Revolution soon ended his government funding, Michaux remained in America and 1 continued his search for new plants until 1796 using his own personal resources (Chinard 1957).

  • Joara, Cuenca, and Fort San Juan
    I Joara, Cuenca, and Fort San Juan Deep in the country north and west of Santa Elena, near an Indian town named Joara, was a place where the trail crested a hill and gave the captain his first glimpse of the rugged lands that lay just ahead. Whatever paths wended up and over those steep slopes would no doubt have been precarious for any men so laden with supplies, even in the best of times, but it was late Decem- ber now, icy and cold, andproof Pardo shared his company’s disquiet as he regarded the rim of snow-filled mountains on the horizon. They had put a hundred leagues or more behind them already, most of it across fine, open country, but he knew—looking across at the high ridge—that any effort to push beyond its frozen passes with tired, overburdened men would be impractical at best, foolhardy at worst. He was neither. Even so, he would not be bogged down here with so little yet to show for himself. It was nearly dusk. He gave a nod to his sergeant, Moyano, that they should make camp now before night was upon them. In the morning they would arrive at the town the Indians called Joara, and while the company recovered he would take the counsel of his of- ficers before deciding where they should go from there. Standing on the crest of the hill, he was suddenly struck by how much this land in the shadow of the mountains reminded him of Cuenca, of home. He shut his eyes and let himself believe, but for a moment, that the setting sun on his face was that of Castile.

    Feb 22, 2010 Mr. Jeff Manning Supervisor, Classifications and Standards Unit Division of Water Quality North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Re: Supplemental Reclassification of Streams in the Catawba and Yadkin River Basins to Trout Waters In a letter dated January 31, 2005 to Mr. Alan Klimek, Director, Division of Water Quality, from Mr. Mallory Martin, Past President, North Carolina Chapter of the American Fisheries Society (NCAFS), Mr. Martin urged Mr. Klimek and his staff to reclassify streams or segments of streams to the highest and most appropriate water quality classification or supplementary classification to protect existing uses when existing fish or benthic macroinvertebrate data or the presence of unique aquatic communities support it. The Environmental Concerns Committee of the NCAFS has reviewed recently collected trout data gathered by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (WRC) from several streams in the Catawba and Yadkin River Basins to determine what streams that have documented populations of trout are not currently supplementally classified as Trout Waters (Tr) and to petition to reclassify those streams as Trout Waters. According to state water quality regulations (NCAC 2007), trout waters are freshwaters protected for natural trout propagation and survival of stocked trout. In addition, these waters have conditions which shall sustain and allow for trout propagation and survival of trout on a year-round basis. It is the opinion of the NCAFS that these data support supplemental reclassification of these streams from their existing classification to Trout Waters. This letter summarizes these data and serves as an official petition to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality to proceed with reclassification of these streams.

  • Carolina 1796, ". . . D'un Nouveau Magnolia"
    Carolina 1796, ".. d'un nouveau Magnolia" Charlie Williams Early on the morning of April 3, 1796, a lone man eased into the saddle, grasped his mount's reins, and rode away from a familiar farm near Lincolnton, North Carolina. Leading his pack horse out on to the Tuckasegee Road toward the Catawba River ford of the same name, the solitary horseman would have attracted little atten- tion that Sunday morning. He knew this stretch of road well, having traveled it in both directions several times before. The rider could not have known that this would be his last visit with this friendly farmer and his last view of this familiar landscape. As was his custom, the man on horseback later made notes about where he had lodged for the night. He included details of his route, estimated distances from place to place, and most important of all, described the unusual plants he had observed and collected. The traveler had been in the saddle for many miles, and his packhorse bore the heavy burden of his books and collections of plants. Not a man given to outward displays of emotion, he nonetheless must have smiled in the knowledge of what lay only a few miles ahead. This day would be a special one because he was returning to the site of a rare new species of magnolia he had discovered earlier. Now the season was right to coBect live plants of this new magnolia, a tangible prize of this long and difficult journey. One of the great discoveries of his illustrious career lay only a few miles closer to the Tuckasegee Ford.
