Research The Miracle - The 1944 Polio Epidemic
In 1944, an epidemic hit the Catawba Valley. Some people called the disease infantile paralysis because it attacked children predominately. More commonly it was called polio and it seemed to come every summer to some city or town in the United States. When Hickory's turn came, its population had already been thinned by the Second World War, which made the crisis more severe. By early June, the disease and rumors spread. Hospitals from Charlotte to Asheville filled quickly. A corps of local doctors and community leaders determined that a facility, specifically for the purpose of treating polio was needed. In 54 hours, the community came together to convert a summer camp into a functional hospital. Contributions poured in and for nine months, Hickory took center stage of the nation's focus on polio. The story of the efforts by citizens of the Catawba Valley to provide so much assistance became legendary. It was called, The Miracle of Hickory. Read more at cvcc.edu/research-the-miracle

Iredell’s Egyptian Mummy Mystery | Melinda Herzog | TEDxHickory
The Iredell Museum mummy is 3,000 years old and is the only mummy on exhibition in North Carolina. The Iredell mummy dates from the 22nd Dynasty known as the Lybian Dynasty and mummies from this period are rare and few mummy ensembles (3 to 5 nested coffins) like Iredell's have survived. This talk covers her century long journey to Statesville and how modern technology is helping to solve some of the mummies mysteries.
Melinda Herzog is a native Texan and a graduate of Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas with a Bachelor of Arts in both History and Studio Art. She also was a Graduate Fellow in Ibero-American History and American History Trans-Mississippi at Southern Methodist University, Dallas, Texas and received a Masters of Arts in Museum Administration with a specialty in Historic Preservation and Interpretation from Texas Tech University, Lubbock, Texas. Her career included museum administration, restoration and interpretation of historic properties in Alabama, Texas, New Jersey, and Virginia before moving to North Carolina in 2006 to assume the directorship of the Catawba County Historical Association where she served until 2015. She currently holds the directorship of the Iredell Museums in Statesville, NC where she recently designed and installed an exhibition entitled The Mummy Treasure of Al Faiyum featuring a 22nd Dynasty Egyptian Mummy, the only mummy exhibited in North Carolina.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
700 Pound Snake Pulled out of Lake in North Carolina
Giant 700 pound snake caught in lake in Proctor, North Carolina. The giant man eating python was measured at 98 feet long. Police were contacted to see if there have been any recently filed missing person reports as a snake this big could have surely eaten a human.
This giant snake is massive and just gorgeous, but it didn't take long to find out that the STORY behind it... was fake, just another hoax.
While the image is indeed real, I think the size of the giant snake could have been exaggerated due to the camera angle
Nevertheless, this snake is still huge, but where did it come from? The markings on it's skin looks similar to that of a reticulated python native to Southeast Asia. After playing around with a little Google translate, the mystery was finally solved.
This giant python came from Indonesia and after some rough translating, it turns out that it was discovered this last Thanksgiving near the village of Belinyu City. It was found by accident by a group of construction workers who severely injured the reptile while knocking down a large dead tree in which the python was sleeping inside of. The workers put the dying snake out of it's misery and buried it.
It's sad to see such an incredible animal killed, especially one that could have been a new world record size. I wish there were more pictures so we could get a better idea of just how large it was.
I really enjoyed learning about this amazing snake, if you guys have any cool wildlife stories or interesting animals that you think I might enjoy, tell me about it on Facebook

The EcoComplex: Barry Edwards at TEDxHickory
Barry Edwards, Director of the Department of Utilities and Engineering for Catawba County, North Carolina, is also the Director of the Catawba County EcoComplex. It is the goal of the Catawba County Regional EcoComplex and Resource Recovery Facility to develop a system that will recover all useable products and by-products from a group of private and public partners located in a close-knit defined area, the EcoComplex. This group of partners will work together to use each other's waste products either as a source of energy (electricity, steam, or heat) or as a raw material for the production of their own product (pallets, lumber, compost, brick shapes/art). These shared relationships bring the old saying of one man's trash is another man's treasure, into real life. In addition to these shared relationships, the EcoComplex is also focused on making and using green energy and on the economic development of Catawba County.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
