Landrum proposes referendum on Sunday alcohol sales in restaurants Public hearing April 12 by Leah Justice

Landrum voters could decide this year whether its restaurants can sell alcohol on Sunday. Landrum City Council approved Tuesday, March 8 the first reading of an ordinance to call for a referendum on this November’s election ballot. Councilman Randy Wohnig voted against the ordinance. A public hearing is scheduled for council’s next meeting on Tuesday,

April 12 before council considers the second and final reading. Landrum city officials held a meeting with area businesses in January. According to Mayor Bob Briggs, business owners said not being able to serve alcohol on Sunday hurts business. Most restaurants are not open on Sunday in Landrum.

It’s going to help Landrum get back to where it used to be.” Britt, who owns El Chile Rojo and Twigs restaurants in Landrum, said she ended up having to close on Sundays because business was so bad. People would come in to eat and when they found out about the Sunday alcohol ban, they would politely leave and go to Tryon or elsewhere in North Carolina just a few miles away, she said. She said restaurants not being able to be open Sundays

Landrum police chief warns residents after home invasion by Leah Justice

Read the Bulletin for the latest local news

Following a home invasion last weekend, Landrum Police Chief Bruce Shelnut warned residents this week to call the police if someone suspicious is on your property. Landrum City Council heard from Shelnut at a council meeting Tuesday, March 8. Shelnut said because of the current economy, people are becoming desperate and are coming onto people’s property asking for money. Businesses are also having people come in offering to do handyman services for money. “If somebody comes in your yard to bum money, that’s not normal,” Shelnut said. “Go in the house and call 911 and let us come see what’s going on.” He also said if anyone comes into a business that the owner doesn’t feel comfortable with, the owner should call 911 and an officer will come and check them out. Shelnut reminded people that anyone selling something door to door needs a business license. Shelnut also said the city does not normally give business licenses to door-to-door salesmen. “Times are getting tough and people are looking for anything they can to make a dime,” said Shelnut. On Saturday, March 5 a Landrum resident in the 100 block of S. Edgewood Avenue experienced a home invasion, according to police reports. The

Bright’s Creek public hearing draws mixed comments by Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners heard positive and negative comments from residents this week regarding an amended Bright’s Creek development agreement. Commissioners held a public hearing Monday, March 7 at the Green Creek Fire Department. Polk resident Bill Smith said the project as planned with a hotel and stores should not be permitted. Smith said there are already two-lane roads that are being repaired, costing additional taxpayer money, and several bridges in the area are prone to flooding. “When these thousands of acres are developed this will only increase the runoff and increase frequency of flooding,” Smith said. He said the new plan goes against the county’s 20/20 vision plan and the county’s current seven-acre lot minimum for major subdivisions. But Bill Ennis said he hopes the county realizes that approval of Bright’s Creek’s revised master plan and development agree-

ment is critical to the future of Bright’s Creek, “and that a successful Bright’s Creek is critical to the future of Polk County.” Ennis said Bright’s Creek’s real estate taxes alone, at more than $1,000,000 a year, provide for 1/14 of the county’s entire annual budget for each of the last four years. “And yet they cost the county very little in the way of services,” said Ennis. “They are a self-contained, self-supporting development.” Ennis added that Bright’s Creek has provided jobs for many Polk residents and is generous in helping with charities, including the BMW Golf tournament. “I think it would be a travesty not to give Bright’s Creek the help they need in these depressing economic times,” Ennis said. “Approve their revised master plan and updated development agreement. It will prove to be a good decision for the county in the years to come.” A contract is currently being proposed for new owners to purchase Bright’s Creek. Protex

Investment Group, Inc., owned by Alexander Salgado and Gabrielle Barragan, a couple out of Florida, plans to purchase the development with the transaction scheduled to close April 1. Protex Investment Group has plans to include 1,380 acres of open space at the development and create more cluster housing to replace some large lots. Plans for a hotel and spa, among other amenities, have also been mentioned. Kate Bond, from the Lake Adger Development near Bright’s Creek, also made comments during Monday’s public hearing. She said she understands since this is not a new plan that Bright’s Creek does not have to abide by the county’s ridgetop ordinance, but asked that the county consider asking the development to voluntarily abide with a night sky ordinance and ridgetop regulations. Sunny View Fire Chief Marty

McGuinn said if a hotel is included, that could make a major impact on his department depending on the height of the hotel. A hotel could require the department to purchase a ladder truck, which cost approximately $500,000. “Nor do I have the height on my building to house a ladder truck,” said McGuinn. McGuinn also expressed concern about response time because of the development’s roads and remote location, saying that it takes 20 to 30 minutes to reach some areas. Monday’s meeting initially included the approval of the updated development agreement, but the item was removed during the agenda adoption. Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson said he couldn’t comment as to why the county didn’t consider the new agreement Monday.

Landrum approves sanitation contract with small increases Undecided who will pay increases

Friday, March 11, 2011

by Leah Justice

The City of Landrum approved a new sanitation contract with GDS that includes slight Jeffrey C. Harris, pastor Dr. Bill Rev. Henderson, Pastor in the Interim increases in fees. Council approved a five-year contract with the haulers during Please place picture of church over the X. 2x2 a meeting held Tuesday, March 8. The new contract will begin 12/4 F tfn in July.

significant, the contract for the city will be increasing $16,682 per year. Council has not yet decided who will pay for the increases. Residents and businesses could, or the city could decide to absorb some of those costs. Wolochowicz said Landrum’s garbage rates with GDS are among the lowest in the state for municipalities. The contract includes the ability for GDS to ask city council to implement increases if diesel fuel prices escalate to $5 or more per gallon, but council will have the final say for such a request. The only built-in increase is based on the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI). Residential customers currently pay $8 per month for city garbage pick-up.

Equestrian Trotters to participate in cancer walk in Florida The Equestrian Trotters, a walking team of equestrians from the Thermal Belt, will take part in the Susan Komen 3-Day Cancer Walk in Tampa, Fla., on Oct. 2830, 2011. Joy Baker, team captain, and team members invite others to join in this experience, whether as a walker, crew member or donator. Walking 60 miles in the three days is the goal. A team with family, friends and co-workers offers the company of a supportive group. Not only does the walk raise funds for the cure, it raises awareness. It encourages greater breast cancer health awareness with vigilance and helps make influential decisions within the structure of government. The 2.5 million breast cancer survivors are the largest group of cancer survivors in the United

States, and they are a living testament to the progress made in research and advanced effective treatments for the cure. Early detection and medical care are of the utmost importance. Every woman deserves a mammogram and access to a spectrum of breast cancer options regardless of her financial status. When caught early, the survival rate for cancer is 98 percent. The training is for all shapes and sizes of men and women of all athletic abilities. To be sure you can do the walk, training and support are offered after you register. Walkers receive an informative walker handbook and coaches are available to give you training and support. Websites contain walk schedules, a virtual personal trainer, shoe selection advice, health and

nutrition tips and other tools and information. Local businesses called the Outfitters offer advice and special discounts. If you are not able to participate as a walker you can still be an integral part of the effort. Volunteers are needed as crew members, which entails attending the entire event in a service capacity. The crew members drive the vehicles that give walkers a lift to the next pit stop or bring them to the camp for fine dining and entertainment. If you are unable to be there in person you can be a tax deductible donator. Registered walkers agree to raise a minimum of $2,300 in tax-deductible donations. Make checks out to Susan Komen 3-Day Cancer Walk and mail them to Joy Baker, 239 Baker Rd., Tryon, N.C. 28782. Net proceeds from the Susan

May the Best Car Win™

G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure fund are used in global breast cancer research and local community programs supporting education, screening and treatment. Organizers say every major advance in the fight against breast cancer in the last 28 years has been impacted by a Susan G. Komen for the Cure grant. For more information about Komen for the Cure, breast health or breast cancer, visit www.Komen. org or call 1-877 GO KOMEN. For more information or to register for the 3-day walk in Tampa, visit www.3-day.org, call 800996-3day or contact Joy Baker at 828-817-0315 or apchirovets@ aol.com. If you would prefer a closer location to join the walk, you can sign up for one in Atlanta, Ga., on Oct. 21-23.

Story

“I ate well. I exercised. And I had a heart attack. 11 months later, I ran my first marathon.” “ I was lucky – because I recognized the signs early, called 911, and was taken to Mission. From the time I came through the door, they had a stent in place in just 17 minutes. They saved my life there at the heart center, but it was at Heart Path where they gave me the confidence to live again. Surrounded by a rehabilitation team who really cared about me and understood my fear, I was not only able to recover from my heart attack; I trained for my first marathon.” Learn more about Mission’s comprehensive heart center at missionhearts.org.

March blood drives in Polk County The holiday season has ended and a new year is underway, which means it’s time to get back to regular routines and schedules. But what if you could escape the hustle and bustle of the daily grind and set out on an adventure? Present to donate blood or platelets with the American Red Cross and you could “Take to the Skies!” with Delta Air Lines. On Monday, March 14, the Polk Community Blood Drive will be held at Holy Cross Episcopal Church (located on Melrose Avenue in Tryon), from 12:30 - 5 p.m. Call 828-894-2700 for more information or to schedule an appointment. On Sunday, March 27, a blood drive will be held at Coopers Gap Baptist Church, located at 730 Coopers Gap Road in Columbus, from 1:30 - 6 p.m. Call 828-8948059, 828-894-3232 or 828-6259272 for more information or to schedule an appointment. All presenting donors at both drives will be entered in a drawing for a chance to win one of two pairs of roundtrip Delta Airline tickets. The campaign, which runs from January 1 to March 31, 2011, gives each person who presents to donate blood or platelets with the Red Cross an opportunity to enter a drawing for the chance to win one of two pairs of roundtrip Delta Air Lines domestic tickets.

‘Finishing Techniques’ with ceramicist Ann Gleason March 25 Tryon Painters and Sculptors will present a one-day workshop titled “Finishing Techniques” by ceramicist Ann Gleason on Friday, March 25 from 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. in the Tryon Painters and Sculptors clay studio at Tryon Fine Arts Center, located at 34 Melrose Avenue in Tryon.

the blood supply often suffers tremendously, but the need for blood is constant. Therefore, the Red Cross is encouraging donors to start the year off right by helping make sure the blood supply in the region remains at an adequate level. “Every day, people attend American Red Cross blood drives and give another chance to someone they will never meet,” stated Joyce Brendel, chief executive officer with the Carolinas Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross. “The Red Cross is grateful to Delta Air Lines for this unique opportunity to say thank you to blood donors for helping hospital patients in need.” The Carolinas Blood Services Region of the American Red Cross provides lifesaving blood to 103 hospitals and must have 1,600 people give blood and platelets each weekday to meet the needs of patients. Blood can be safely donated every 56 days. Most healthy people age 17 and older, or 16 with parental consent, who weigh at least 110 pounds, are eligible to donate blood and platelets. Donors who are 18 and younger must also meet specific height and weight requirements. To schedule a donation appointment, call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit on-line at redcrossblood.org. – article submitted

The Polk County Relay for Life will be held April 29 at Polk County High School. Much more than a walk around a track, Relay is a time to celebrate those who have battled cancer, remember those lost and get inspired to fight back. Every dollar raised makes a difference to people in the community whose lives are touched by cancer. The Society has contributed to almost every major discovery in cancer research. Millions of lives have been saved as a result. For those people and countless others, the research the Society has funded is resulting in better ways to prevent, detect and treat cancer. The American Cancer Society will also continue to exert influ-

When cancer affects you or someone you love, the American Cancer Society can lessen your fears and provide inspiration through our many programs and services - all free of charge and made possible through donations from local communities. Donations also give those touched by cancer places to turn for help through the Society’s Web site, www.cancer.org and the 24-hour toll-free number, 1-800-ACS-2345.

Students learn about firing a cannon during Harmon Field Heritage Days' Educational Days 2010. Educational Days will be March 24 and 25. (photo submitted)

Harmon Field Heritage Days receives grant from Harmon Foundation Thanks to a grant from the Harmon Foundation, students across the area will once again be able to enjoy Harmon Field Heritage Days free of charge. Friends of Harmon Field received a donation from the Harmon Foundation for Heritage Days. Area schools will be invited to bring their students to this annual event on the fourth weekend of March. The event begins with the educational days Thursday and Friday, March 24 and 25. The public is invited to come to Harmon Field on Saturday and Sunday for all the activities that will be available. More information and a schedule will be posted closer to the event. “Last year over 800 students participated in the two-day educational segment,” Lorna Dever, director of the event, said. “We are hoping that teachers will once again bring their students to enjoy the activities we have planned this year. We hope to offer different things each year to make it interesting ongoing.” The Second North Carolina Mounted Infantry helps organize the event with other Civil War reenactors throughout the Southeast.

“We will have reenactors here over the weekend from Columbus, Gastonia, Hickory, Catawba, Columbia and Walhalla,” David Smith, captain of the 2nd NCMI said. “This is one of the best local events I have had the fortune attending. The kids are great and the skirmish depicts an actual event that happened in Polk County at the close of the Civil War. I invite everyone to come to stroll through the camps and visit us, sit by our fire and enjoy fellowship with us and learn about their own history.” Tryon Arts and Crafts School will join in the celebration of Heritage Days. During the week, students will watch and participate in demonstrations in several era crafts. The school will open its studios for hands-on experiences in crafts including basketry, pottery, blacksmithing, woodworking, weaving and other fiber crafts. These crafts are a critical part of this region’s heritage and Tryon Arts and Crafts School will emphasize their significance since the 1800s. In addition, the school will have their annual Heritage Days Open House on Saturday. All studios will be open for demonstrations and (Continued on page 27)

Saluda Arts Festival gets competitive, announces musical lineup The Saluda Business Association says it is determined to draw a large crowd to its eighth annual Saluda Arts Festival on May 21. With many festivals from which to choose in the spring, the SBA feels it owes it to the artists who exhibit creative artwork to have a large audience in which to sell his or her work. Creating even more excitement for the festival is the music lineup that includes One Leg

Up and the Swayback Sisters. Based in Asheville, N.C., One Leg Up performs a mixture of Gypsy Jazz, Latin, swing and original jazz compositions and is a favorite of club, concert and festival stages throughout the southeastern United States. The Swayback Sisters are Laura Blackley, Nikki Talley and Lyndsay Wojcik. This Asheville-based roots trio decided to join forces and create

a diverse musical experience for themselves as well as their audiences. While each sister is proficient in her songwriting and guitar work, the real treat is the blending of their voices in three-part harmony. This is a juried art event offering cash awards of more than $1,500 to a range of 2D and 3D artwork. Applications for participation can be downloaded from

the www.saluda.com website or by contacting Susie Welsh at 828-749-3900 or Catherine Ross at 828-243-8696 or email sswelsh@tds.net for more information. Only 50 artists will be juried in and applications are due by March 15. Celebrating its 130th birthday, events are being planned at the arts festival to dedicate Saluda’s history and heritage. – article submitted

Unitarian Universalist Fellowship meets in Tryon March 13 The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Sunday, March 13 at 10:30 a.m. The sermon will be by Reverend Jean Rowe, who will speak on the topic: “Josseline, Immigration and Ethics.”

“Fourteen-year-old Josseline, a girl from El Salvador who was left to die alone on the migrant trail, was just one of the thousands to perish in the Arizona deserts and mountains. It is a familiar story in human history. Great migrations. Hospitality

or no hospitality. Strangers in a strange land. Is there judgment or mercy? These are major theological themes. Is the universe (God) merciful or judgmental? What does Love demand?” said Rowe. There will be a discussion after the sermon.

Come early to share refreshments and fellowship. There will be a homemade pizza lunch with salad for a small fee served after the service. For information, call 828-894-5776 or visit www. uutryonnc.org. – article submitted

There is a new kind of Community Sponsored Agriculture (CSA) available in Polk County for people who care about organically grown local food. Traditionally, a CSA functioned by paying an upfront payment to an individual farm and then receiving 20 weeks of fresh produce that was all equally distributed to all its members each week. This meant that everyone received the same exact variety and volume of produce week after week despite what their personal tastes and needs may have been. For many people the surprise of what they would receive was fun and exciting, but for many people, it became problematic in that they were receiving items they might not have been fond of, or that they did not receive enough of other items that they loved. Now there is a solution to those dilemmas and to others that have been a part of the traditional CSA experience. Welcome to Polk N.C. Locally Grown, an internet-based, custom ordering system.

Jennifer states, “I was a goner after that.” I could have told her that. Jennifer begged and pleaded with her reluctant husband that they should foster her until she found a home and finally convinced him. Once home the whole family saw what a special and loving girl Popper was. She immediately bonded with the boys. She runs and plays at breakneck speed with Shade and could care less about Pandora (which was a bit of a worry). Jennifer says, “I believe that old Abby had a hand, or paw, in helping us find each other.” I could have told her that too, “right Monty?” There are so many wonderful things that can be told in this story, perhaps one day Jennifer will tell it all in another Chicken Soup tale. Jennifer also states, “it took over two years for Popper to find a home, not because

Time to get checked for colon cancer if you are 50 or older During the month of March, health providers across the country bring attention and awareness to colorectal cancer. Why? Because every year, about 135,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer and about 57,000 die from the disease. But most people are uncomfortable talking about colon cancer or the screening to detect it. When colorectal cancer is detected early, the chances of successful treatment are the greatest. Screening also finds many polyps before cancer develops. By removing these growths, cancer can actually be prevented. Colorectal cancer can be prevented or detected early and with little discomfort by using one or more of the following procedures available at

St. Luke’s Hospital with your doctor’s order: • The fecal occult blood test is a simple at-home procedure that checks stool samples for hidden blood, which can be a sign of cancer, polyps or other internal disorders. • Colonoscopy is a procedure using a flexible, hollow, lighted tube that detects cancer or polyps inside the rectum and lower colon. The colonscope is long enough to view the entire colon. • The double-contrast barium enema is an x-ray examination that allows a radiologist to view the entire colon. • If a polyp or abnormality is discovered, a small tissue sample is removed through the colonscope for further examination. If cancer is found, surgery, some-

times combined with radiation and/or chemotherapy, is the most effective method of treatment. • Most colorectal cancers begin as a polyp that later becomes cancerous. If polyps are found early, they can be removed before cancer develops. In this sense, colorectal cancer is a disease that can be prevented. Eating a diet that is low in fat and rich in fruits and vegetables may also lower the risk of colorectal cancer. “Most of these cases occur after the age of 50, which is why men and women at average risk should begin regular screening at age 50,” urges general surgeon Jim Holleman, MD. “However, anyone with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, polyps in the

colon or rectum, or inflammatory bowel disease is at higher risk for the disease and may need to begin screening sooner and more often. If you are age 50 or older, or if you are at a higher risk because of your personal or family history, talk to your doctor about colorectal screening. If you experience symptoms such as change in bowel habits, rectal bleeding or stomach cramps that will not go away, see your doctor immediately.” Dr. Holleman said colonoscopy is highly effective and a true preventive test in cancer treatment. “If you are 50 years of age or older, you need to schedule a colonoscopy to screen for colon cancer,” Dr. Holleman said. – article submitted

Letter to the Editor

Chamber capable of running tourism

To the Editor: Open letter to Polk County Commissioners Dear Commissioners, I want to voice my support of moving the Travel and Tourism office to the Foothills Chamber of Commerce office. The Chamber of Commerce has the facility already in place to operate a tourism office. We can hire an Internet savvy, parttime employee to staff the office and represent our community on weekends and Monday holidays – when tourists are looking for directions and information. The chamber has proven to be able to provide excellent service under controlled budgets. It is respected among the business owners – especially those businesses that rely on the tourist dollars. For example: There are at least 83 member businesses directly related to tourism, including 16 accommodations providers (the large majority of whom are located within Polk County), - 16 restaurants, 14 shops and stores, and 5 equestrian-related organizations, as well as entertainment businesses, spas, golf courses, museums, wineries and real estate businesses. Moving the Travel and Tourism will allow a higher percentage of monies to be allocated directly to marketing our county to the rest of the world. Sincerely, Bill Crowell, Saluda Forge 28 year member of the Chamreading thisboard ad confirms ber are of Commerce; member our claim to be a closelyof Travel and Tourism, Tryon. read newspaper and – Bill–Crowell, illustrates the Saluda old motto owner Forge multum in parvo – much in little.

Holleman completes integrative medicine fellowship; Pinecastle signs Asheville’s Town Mountain bluegrass band General surgeon James Holleman, MD, recently completed a two-year integrative medicine fellowship through the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. Dr. Holleman, chief of staff for St. Luke’s Hospital, has practiced at Holleman Surgical in Polk County since December 2002. Dr. Holleman continues to practice surgery but plans to incorporate integrative care into his practice when safe and practical to provide the best overall care to the whole person. The University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine was founded to establish methods of treating patients through nutrition, botanical medicines and mind-body interventions. These methods were meant to enhance both prevention and conventional treatments. The Arizona Center was founded in 1994 by Dr. Andrew Weil, an American author and physician who is best known for establishing and popularizing the field of integrative medicine. Weil is the author of several bestselling books about general health

and healthy aging. Integrative medicine (IM) is defined by the center as a healing-oriented medicine that takes account of the whole person (mind, body, and spirit), including all aspects of lifestyle. It emphasizes the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and patient and makes use of all appropriate therapies, according to Dr. Holleman. IM neither rejects conventional medicine nor accepts alternative therapies uncritically. “The difference between IM and alternative medicine is that IM attempts to seamlessly blend various modalities of allopathic medicine with those of other disciplines such as nutritional counseling, plant-based therapies and mind-body modalities,” Dr. Holleman said. “This can involve anything from recommending meditation, t’ai chi and yoga for overall wellness to referral for evaluation by practitioners of traditional systems of Homeopathic, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine, when it’s appropriate.” Among the range of exotic to

routine interventions which could be employed, perhaps the most important is dietary, which Holleman said will be his initial integrative focus. During the two-year program, Dr. Holleman was published in “Unique Opportunities - The Physician’s Resource,” a bi-monthly publication with articles on topics relating to business and lifestyle aspects of a physician’s career and medical practice. Holleman Surgical is located in St. Luke’s Medical Office Park at 44 Hospital Drive, Suite 1A, Columbus. From more information, call 828-894-3300. *** Pinecastle Records recently signed Asheville bluegrass band Town Mountain to its roster. The band performs a mix of mostly original material that creates a foot-stomping bluegrass sound mixed with slow country crooning and a honkytonk edge. Town Mountain traveled out on its first national tour in 2005, which they capped off by winning the prestigious Rockygrass Band Competition. Town Mountain features Phil Barker (mandolin, vocals), Robert Greer (guitar, vocals), Jesse Langlais (banjo, vocals), Bobby Britt

(fiddle) and Jon Stickley (bass, vocals). *** Mary Lyth and Joe Laudisio of Giardini Trattoria and Gardens had a nice-looking website – www. giardinigardens.com. The problem was that their former web designer moved away and left things unfinished. They contacted Turner HD Media to give the site a “refresh.” Eric and Lynn Turner made the changes Lyth and Laudisio wanted, updated time-sensitive material, added social media links and made the site more user friendly. The new website is a vital link to customers, Lyth and Laudisio said. It also keeps the public informed about the activities held at Giardini Trattoria and Gardens, menu selections (which change with available ingredients) and catering services. Giardini Trattoria and Gardens is located at 2411 N.C. 108 East, between Columbus and Mill Spring. For more information, contact info@giardinigardens.com or 828-894-0234. Turner HD Media is located at the Mill Spring Agricultural Development Center in Mill Spring. For more information, check www. turnerhdmedia.com or call 828395-1107.

It’s on the house. Waffle House. There will be more than the smell of barbecue slowing cooking in “Hog Heaven” during this year’s 18th Annual Blue Ridge Barbecue & Music Festival. There will also be the smell of waffles, thanks to Waffle House in Columbus. At 4:30 a.m. Saturday morning, while contestants from all over the country are still snoring, Waffle House Operations Manager Karl Kropp and his team will descend on Hog Heaven and start cooking up breakfast for 300. This is the first time a local business has volunteered to donate virtually all the food for the cookers’ Saturday morning breakfast. Kropp and his wife, Teresa, have lived in Columbus for 18 years. “It’s all about community – giving back to the community,” Karl said. Festival Chairman Chuck Britton said he is excited about a new spirit of local involvement he sees with this year’s festival, with Waffle House a perfect example. “This is great. It’s about a local business stepping up and being a part of this event,” Britton said. When they wake up Saturday morning, cookers will be treated to eggs, gravy, biscuits, hash browns, grits, coffee, tea, orange juice and, of course, waffles. Behind the Waffle House team will be Peggy Wyllie and her 16 volunteers. Wyllie has headed up
