Standing in the former sanctuary of the renovated Spindale Presbyterian Church at 125 Pleasant Street in Spindale, Paul Crowe talked about his nearly two year journey of buying the facility and refurbishing the historical dwelling. Crowe has graciously consented to open the facility to the public on Sunday, May 19, as a fundraiser for Rutherford Housing Partnership (RHP). Volunteers from the nonprofi t RHP are selling $10 tickets for a tour of the building with all proceeds going to help repair homes for low income and disabled homeowners in Rutherford County. The former Presbyterian church building will become Crowe's secondary home in the near future while his other residence in Union Mills undergoes renovations. On the heels of the fundraiser, former church member Sarah Stallings who "was born in the church and stayed until the end" talked about the project and her delight that Crowe has renovated the building she came to know and love as her church home. "I haven't seen it (renovation) yet, but I had rather someone use it and get some good use out of it than it be empty," she said of Crowe's project. The Spindale resident said there are fond memories of growing up there. Former member Pat Moss shares Stallings' sentiments. Rather than the possibility of vandals destroying the historic church building, she's glad the former building will be home to Crowe for a while. After that time, opportunities for other building uses could be considered. Crowe was looking for a project when the church building was put up for sale by the WNC Presbytery after worship services concluded. He thought about the purchase and in 2017 made a call to the Presbytery and bought the facility. The church was organized on April 24, 1927 and worship services were concluded in the building in 2015, Stallings said. Stallings said the congregation of about 150 people dwindled down to just fi ve about four years ago and the decision was made to end the worship services there. Her husband, Bill Kirk, was the pastor when the couple and the remaining few decided to close the church. "I have such fond memories of growing up there," she said. As Crowe stood in the same area where congregants heard the word of God preached for decades, he talked about the good news of the structurally sound building when it renovation began more than a year ago. He admitted it took a "few months to empty the contents of the building" that included pews, and other materials. He vowed to take the renovation slow and not to be overwhelmed by the project. Surprising to him, the church was in good condition. And he knew renovation was possible. "The original ceilings are still here. We added the beams," Crowe said looking toward the ceiling. "We ripped up the carpet and refi nished the fl oors." Off to the right hand corner of the open fl oor space, local contractors were fi nishing the construction of a new bathroom with a walk-in shower during an interview last week. The former choir loft has become a galley kitchen with modern appliances, counter and high top chairs for dining. Off to the side of the kitchen where the church library was once located is Crowe's bedroom. Simply furnished, Crowe said he will spent time between the Union Mills and Spindale residence, eventually moving other furniture to Spindale. When visitors to the open house arrive on May 19 through the front door, they will look straight up into the steeple tower as the ceiling tiles have been removed and guests can see to the top.Crowe is keeping the steeple in place and has added a weather vane. At the entrance to the building are two concrete statutes of angels. "They just fi t," he said. "We really didn't build anything new... we didn't want to ruin the integrity of the building," he said. Most of the doors and windows are also the originals with some refi nishing of the doors. He added one stain glass window. The Sunday School wing that was added in 1950 has also been renovated. The long hall and eight room are are painted an elegant soft green trimmed in white. Crowe said he found the same green color while renovating the sanctuary area and spaces. He was pleased to be able to recreate the same look. "This building has a lot of character... this has been a neat project," he said. Crowe believes the facility will meet his housing needs for the next couple of years and then he said he hopes someone else will see the opportunities of the structure and its multi-purpose uses. "There is so much potential for this building. There are unlimited uses," he said. Crowe envisions future offi ce space uses, a new restaurant or even a bed and breakfast. He envisions a large family occupying the building or even others hosting a reunion or community event there. There is also a possibility for retail space. Spindale Presbyterian Church was the starting place for Trinity Christian School where the fi rst students met in the basement of the church. Through the early 1980s, pre-school classes were held at the church until the new Trinity school was completed in Ruth. In addition to serving the Spindale Presbyterian community as its house of worship and Trinity as its fi rst school location, there have also been family reunions, community events, funerals and a host of weddings over the many years. Crowe has come nearly full circle. Part owner of the family business, Crowe Mortuary and Chapel, the family's fi rst funeral parlor was a large rambling two- story home on Maryland Street in Spindale. As in the case of many funeral home owners, the family resided upstairs. Now at the corner of Pleasant and Maryland streets, Crowe is glad to call the former church his home, even if it's just for a few years. "This building has a lot of character. It's not the same ole', same ole'," he said.

Special thanks to RHI Legacy Foundation for its generous support of Patriot Basketball Camp at Isothermal. Patriot Basketball Camp set for June Article Provided By: Michael Gavin Attorney General Josh Stein asked the North Carolina Supreme Court to make it clear that North Carolina's consumer protection laws prohibit unfair and deceptive commercial practices, such as unscrupulous debt-collection methods or deceptive advertising, by members of "learned professions," such as lawyers or hospitals. "There are some unscrupulous lawyers, doctors, and engineers, just as some car dealers, lenders, and hotel owners are bad apples," said Attorney General Josh Stein. "In every job, there are people doing the right thing as well as people who are not. It's my job to protect people from scammers no matter who they are – clarifying this law so that we can hold all bad actors accountable will keep more people safe." Attorney General Stein fi led an amicus brief in the Hamlet v. Hernandez case before the Supreme Court of North Carolina in support of Pedro Hernandez, M.D., who claims that a hospital violated the Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act by making "false representations to induce him to enter into a contract" to provide medical services.
