Hm Sees Hordes On Bleak Yancey Peak Nick Stigailo Doesn’t Suffer From Halluncinations REPRINTED |FR;OM THE ASHEVILLE CITIZEN BURNSVILLE Nick Stigailo is a man who can look up at the bleak Peak of a Yancey County mountain and see 10,000 people, iHe does' not suffer from halluci nations, either. ~ -• He has looked up into the seats pf Moscow Stadium and | seen 20,000, and he knows people will oome if there is something for them to see or do. In Yancey, Stigailo and two affluent assoc : ates with the un- 1 Yancey-like names of Henry Ko taska and Prank Sedlaoek in tend to see that they ski. They have decided that if Crowds will choke places like Lake Placid, -N. Y„ Iron Mountain, M’ch., aud sundry New Hampshire resorts; . where the descents are only medium,, they will -really de soend on Mt. Celo, once. • the word gets out. Prospecting abound, Stigfeilo some time ago discovered a 1,000-foot vertical elevation drop off the southeast slope of Celo, and he knows of no other place in eastern American where this is true. He is sure that the pro fessional; and Olympic skiers will flock to it, and that will be the day that Yancey arrives. Stiga.’lo, better known by now as Nick in Burnsville and en virons. is thoroughly stirred. up by the prospects he envisions for ■ Celo and its companion peak 1 with an even more euphonious name—Winter Star. “Boy!” he says. “Where else can you look off so far? So many lakes. All the people go to Mit chell, and you can’t see anything from there like from here.” Stigailo’s views on what peo ple will like are a little differ ent from most North Carolinians. He was once a professional soc cer Player in h ; s native Ro mania, and that’s how he came to see those 200.000 people in Moscow Stadium. He has also seen, he said, 10 and 15.000 peo ple at the finals of a world table tennis championship. There is more to snorts than the NOCA. I he believe, and he is out to prove it. Skiing has worldwide appeal, 1 and its followers will come great 1 distances when good facilities are to be had. “Every ski place is jammed,” he insists, and that means all kinds of accomodat ions, restaurants, snack bars, the showpiece ski lodge, riding stables, lifts, tow roPes, motels, cottages for rent, summer homes, in short— the works. Nick has told Yancey j leaders that he can see 150 jobs and a $503,000-a-year payroll. j 1 On the summer side if->r the 1 backers propose a year-round j resortj there is a unique golf!

Nick Stigailo has thought of just about everything. Except snow. Snow, it turns out, is no prob lem at a ski resort. If it doesn't snow enough inty blanket the slopes, they turn' to snow-making machinery that takes all the guesswork out of it. To do this, Celo needs a million-gallon res j ervoir of water, and just by chance i (?) there is the old Cattail mine, I halfway down the mountain. Prop [ eify engineered with concrete,’ it’s j a natural reservoir. Just as pin i setting machines revolutionized the bowling world, snow-making i machinery is opening up a whole] new industry. The taib for all this enterprise in Yancey County runs in the nei ghborhood of $7 million, and the biggest lick N-ck hit was getting the backing from Sedlacek through Kotaska. Neither of them had ever heard of Yancey County before, but they are a few million dollars to ge#£a good thing going is an OK investment. They formed a three-way partner ship. The business negotiations ran their course, and in the process something happened that should make North Carolinians look for more folks like the Chicago trio. , They got a commitment from Gov. Terry Sanford to study a new highway to Celo, on which the whole project hinges. A new road in Western North Carolina, with out federal money, is something to regard highly. In some places they can’t even get old ones fixed. The road i s far from built, but there have been commitments made on both sides, to the ex tent that if there is a re IX there will be a road, and vice versa. Aerial surveys will be made when the leaves are off the trees. Sedlacek and Co. already has put a good deal of money, into its project, In the form of leases and Methodists Set Training Session j In Spruce Pine A series of Christian training schools in September, sponsored by the Board of Education of the Western North Carolina Metho dist Conference, will begin in Spruce Fine and Newland. The Spruce Pine school, which Yandey Methodist will attend, is scheduled for Sept. 8-10, in Spruce Pine Methodist Church. “ The Newland school will ■ folbllow Sept. 11-13 in Newland I Methodist Church. All classes | w'U start at 7:30 p. m. These schools will launch three I dozen similar schools, most of I S/ them five days in length, across I ' / the Conference, extending into lm | March of 1984 and involving jfl | about 12,000 Methodists as “stu- I dents” gaining credits foir their I I studies from The Methodist I | Church. | i Dr. Oarl King of Statesville, ■ I executive secretary of the Con-jl l ference Board of Education, an-11 Wnounced these classes, instruct- ■ r ors and school officials for these I first two schools: § SPruce Pine—" Use of the Bible I | with Children", Mrs. Senah Pull- II lam of Seven Mile Ford, Va.; § ■ "Understanding Ourselves”, Mrs. | E.

Celo Mountain be -1 longs largely to Percy Thread gill. a retired Floridian from Texas who has developed the lower slope on the Pensacola side as a summer residence spot. There is a heavy traffic of Florida lic ense plates on the road going Past his house. The leases for the resort in volve some 2,000 acres of Thread gill s land and are long-term agreements. The architects are ski specialists from New Hampshire, with an Austrian associate who also has done design for World’s Fair and Olympic layouts. The only stones unturned are the ones in the “road” that you now have to use to get to the' site. It’s a caution. Stigailo and Kotaska hosted a group up there a few days ago, and they’ll never forget it. Fortunately for the cause, one of the visitors was Chairman Merrill Evans of the State Highway Commission, who had never seen a road like the one up to Cattail Mine and on to Celo Mountain. It was pretty brutal, a bouncing, lurch, frig, jolting, rock-banging granny-gear clinxb over switch back turns in four-wheel drive, a two-hour endurance contest that seemed like ;t would never end. As the jeeps growled wearily upward, Evans surveyed the un speakably difficult situation and sighed, “They’d never believe it in the First Division.” I Opfomemsf Offices in Professional Buiding A ' Dr. WATSON H.
