"Basically, these 8-inch thick brick walls remain and everything else has been redone," says
Kirsten Gleaves, executive director of the Historic
Clay County Courthouse Beal Center in Hayesville, North Carolina. "This building has long
been known as the heart of Clay County. New
locals and originals, as we'll call them, feel very
attached to this building. There's a lot of history
here. Kids used to sit on the wall outside and the
girls would put on roller skates. It was a big game
to skate right through the middle of the courthouse without getting caught by all the different
county officers."
The new Historic Clay County Courthouse
Beal Center is open Wednesday through Saturday
from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. for tours and visits to the
gift shop, as well as by appointment to schedule
special events. cccra-nc.org

WEST VIRGINIA CANDY DARTER
JOINS PROTECTED LIST
A
teeny, colorful fish found
only in a few West Virginia
rivers has been added to
the nation's list of endangered
species, meaning extra care
must be taken to preserve its
limited habitat. The candy darter's numbers have dropped 75%
in recent decades due to cross-breeding with an introduced fish,
pollution and sedimentation, according to federal biologists. It now
lives in just the Gauley, Greenbrier and lower New rivers. The darter
serves as food for larger fish and also as hosts for freshwater mussel
reproduction. Several conservation groups petitioned the federal
government in 2010 to list the darter, which now joins 14 other
animals in the state protected as federally endangered species.

The grown-up sense of discovery at every turn
around the mountain will only be surpassed by the
childlike wonder our natural playground evokes.
