Historic Berkeley Mills Park eyes National Register nod
Hendersonville plans a grant backed nomination to place Berkeley Mills Park on the National Register. Built in the postwar era, the stadium hosted the Berkeley Spinners from 1948 to 1961, served local high school and youth baseball, and remains in use for Babe Ruth and middle school games.

Berkeley Spinners and local ballpark history
A timeline tracks Berkeley Spinners forming in 1948 to join the Western North Carolina Industrial League, building a ballpark in 1949 with Dan Waddell & Co. Berkeley employees, the team avoiding grass play until 1950, disbandment of Berkeley Mills in 1962, continued use of the stadium by youth and adults, and a 2008 donation of 59.59 acres by Kimberly-Clark to Hendersonville including the historic stadium.

Plaintiff seeks 4M in legal costs in Rosner case
The Justus v. Rosner malpractice action seeks $3.8 million in legal costs from neurosurgeon Dr. Michael J. Rosner after a Sept verdict. A posttrial motion argues the jury erred by reducing damages to $1 for personal injury, citing alleged failure to mitigate. Park Ridge Hospital was also cleared of liability.
