He catches', them in his portraits of the people who are behind the word "homeless." When he turns his makeshift easel toward them, they smile from the mouth, cheeks and eyes. Their big bright grins show he's captured their hidden lives. "We all have a self-image that we identify with," EUender said. "I try to say, "You're worth paying attention to. Just you, yourself." The portraits are Ellenders gift to residents of Greenville Community Shelter.

Once a week he takes his place in the great dormitory-like room to sketch and talk. He gives the completed portraits to his subjects, who show them off before scrolling and tucking them carefully into bags. EUender, 37, received a grant from his employer. Burroughs WeUcome, for the project He hopes to sell them to corporate sponsors to raise $10,000 for new beds, a new roof and an office for community agencies at the shelter. "I'd like to see art build people and build the community and build society up," he said.

"There's so much tearing down. Artists are often associated with controversy." EUender began sketching the homeless last summer. Trained as an artist, EUender worked in the medical industry for several years before reaching his present position as a production supervisor. day at Maggie Valley United Methodist Church with the Revs. David Reeves and Rayvon White officiating.

Almost overnight the tiny hamlet of Judson mushroomed into a town of 160 families. A spur railroad was run into Graham County. Then around 1924 the Nantahala Power Light Company began purchasing land in the Fon-tana basin in contemplation of the construction of Fontana Dam. Many families sold their land and moved outl Some sold their homesteads and then rented, becoming tenants of the power company. A few remaining land owners, who refused to sell, tried to keep the community alive.

Then with the coming of World War II, the TVA took over the power project and began building the dam in 1942. When that happened, the Nantahala tenants and the remaining owners of Judson and Almond were forced to give up their places and move elsewhere. Early in November 1944, water began rising back of Fontana Dam. Thus died the towns of Almond and Judson, along with many others in the Fontana basin. The folks who made up the communities of Almond and Judson had a reputation of being religious, hard working, and law abiding.

And they were extremely conscious of the advantages of an education. They built schools and brought in teachers and saw to it that their children attended classes. For example, out of a total of 189 children of school age, 177 attended school during the 1941-42 school year before their school houses were demolished. And records show that illiteracy among the parents was lower at the time than the state average. Of a total of 166 members recorded as a head of a family, only four were unable to to read or write.

Ten of them had attended college, six of whom held bachelor of science degrees. Judson and Almond are gone. The only reminder there ever was a town named Almond is a boat dock here on the lake and a post office across the ridge up there on N.C. 28 that bears the name Almond. And Buahnell and Japan, Noland and Forney, CoUingwood and Ecola, Hubbard and Dorsey, Marcus and Wayside and Hitter are only names on old maps.
