Grassroots Art Project to benefit animals by Samantha Hurst
Tim Jackson made his first hole-in-one on Tuesday, May 10 at Tryon Country Club on hole number #18 (146 yards) using a pitching wedge. He was playing with Craig Gillie, Brandon Britton and Anthony Pereira.
A handful of would-be artists congregate each Saturday to learn, create and benefit the community. Linda McCullough, co-organizer of the Grassroots Art
Program (GAP), said she wanted to use her art background to ben-
efit one of her favorite charities, Lennie’s Kids. She and assistant Ren Leathers plan to sell artwork created from art classes held each Saturday and turn over the pro-
ceeds to Lennie Rizzo to benefit the multitude of animals he helps on a regular basis. “It’s been a dream of mine for years to do something for the (Continued on page 6)

Giardini’s restaurant asks again for Columbus annexation by Leah Justice
Giardini Trattoria, a restaurant between Columbus and Mill Spring, has requested to be voluntarily annexed into Columbus. Columbus Town Council May 17 agreed to have the town clerk investigate the sufficiency of the petition. Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said the town will not hold a public hearing on the issue until July. This is the second annexation request restaurant owners Joe
and Mary Laudisio have made in the past two years. The town denied the request last January. At that time, council members said Columbus residents have said over the past couple of years they do not want to grow. Specifically, councilman Michael Gage said he was against adding properties to town limits because he hears from residents that if the town can’t take care of what it already has, it shouldn’t increase its size.
The Laudisios said last year they want to be a part of Columbus to obtain town services such as police protection. The restaurant did not request water and sewer services last year. If the restaurant’s request were granted, it would involve a satellite annexation – annexation of a property not contiguous with current town limits. With satellite annexations, the town is not required to extend water and sewer services.

Giardini’s is located 1.6 miles from the town limits and 0.9 miles from the service station across from Polk County High School, which is in town limits as a result of a satellite annexation. Giardini’s, whose address is 2411 N.C. 108E, is an Italian restaurant and gardens. The restaurant currently offers brown bagging for beer and wine services, but if it were annexed into Columbus, the restaurant could apply for a state alcohol license.

On and Off”). There was an 18year hiatus between the third and fourth books. “By the time I had written the fourth one, tastes in mysteries had changed. They wanted sex and violence, not kitty-cat stories. Gore was not my style, so I just forgot about ‘The Cat Who.’ I had a full-time job on a newspaper and it was exciting and I had a wonderful social life, so who needed it?” She resumed the series, with the encouragement of her husband, Earl Bettinger, after her retirement from the Detroit Free Press. Berkley Publishing Group reintroduced Braun to the public with the publication of the fourth in the series, “The Cat Who Saw Red” in 1986. Within two years,

Berkeley released four new novels and reprinted the three mysteries from the 1960s. G.P. Putnam’s Sons has since published 21 “The Cat Who” novels, one each year through 2007. “The Cat Who” novels, considered light, humorous mysteries, have been translated into 16 languages, distributed worldwide and sold in the millions. Her books were standards on the New York Times bestseller list. Beginning in 1990, her books reached the prestigious list for 20 consecutive years. Through 29 books, avid readers followed the lives of Jim Qwilleran and his mystery-solving Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, and the quirky characters of Moose County, 400 miles north of everywhere.

“Booklist” commented on “The Cat Who” series, “With its familiar characters, cozy plots and happy endings, this series remains as comforting as a warm cat in your lap on a rainy day.” Braun often said her characters and settings were composites of people and places she knew. She made her protagonist a male with a moustache so that people would not think her fiction was autobiographical. Often asked where the fictional Moose County really was, Braun would say, “In my head. It can be anywhere you want it to be.“ Of her mystery-solving Siamese cat, Koko, she said, “When your detective is a cat you are somewhat limited. He doesn’t speak English, doesn’t leap tall buildings like Supercat, he just does what a normal cat would do. But there are things he does that draw attention to clues that solve the mystery. So you have to begin
with something a cat will do that will reveal a clue, and develop it from there. Of course, when you are writing about a cat solving mysteries you can’t be entirely serious.” She wrote all of her books in longhand and then typed them herself. They were published with limited editing. “I don’t pay any attention to the publishing business,” Braun said. “I just write my kitty-cat stories.” Braun (who once wrote “A dog has his day, but cats have 365”) retired from writing in 2007 after the publication of “The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers.” Lilian Jackson Braun Bettinger was born on June 20, 1913 in Willimansette, Chicopee Falls, Mass. Her father, Charles Jackson, was an inventor and industrial manufacturing troubleshooter. Her mother, Clara Ward Jackson, was a homemaker. Her father’s work took them to Rhode Island, Brooklyn, N.Y., and Detroit, Mich. Braun lived in Michigan until retiring to North Carolina.
Braun inherited her mother’s storytelling talent. “My mother could describe a trip to the grocery story and make it sound hilarious,” she said. Writing was a lifelong passion. “I always wrote, first for fun, then for an advertising job, then for a newspaper and then for ‘The Cat Who’ readers,” she said. After a short stint as a waitress (lasting less than a week), Braun went to work for Detroit department stores, beginning as a copywriter and ending as the director of public relations. She took time off to write her first three books and then accepted a position as the “The Good Living” editor for the Detroit Free Press. She wrote feature articles on interior design, art and architecture, as well as reviews of kitchen gadgets and other household products. She remained with The Detroit Free Press for almost 30 years, retiring in 1978. While working in advertising, Braun designed a house for her parents. She secured the loan, pro-

vided the architects with the design and had the house custom built in Dearborn, Mich. It was the first time her parents lived in their own home. They resided there until their deaths. In 2005, the Polk County Public Library in Columbus held a tribute to Braun for her lifetime achievement and community involvement. It was an evening of song, limericks, readings and tributes. Braun served as the honorary writer in residence for the library as well as honorary chairperson of the 2005 library card sign-up campaign, for which she created the tag line, “A library card is the beginning of a lifelong adventure.” Braun was preceded in death by her husband, Louis Paul Braun, sister, Florence Jackson, and brother, Lloyd Jackson. She is survived by her husband of 32 years, Earl Bettinger. According to her obituary (see page 11), no memorial services will be held. Donations may be made to Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum.

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight candles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews.

The Season of Summer On June 21, the summer season begins. The word “summer” is derived from an Old Norse word, sumar. Summer is the warmest of the four seasons, because it is at this time that the Northern Hemisphere is closest to the sun. The Southern Hemisphere experiences its winter at this time, since it is furthest from the sun. The start of summer coincides with a phenomenon called the Summer Solstice. A solstice is the longest day of the year in a particular hemisphere, or the day on which we experience the most sunlight. Our summer in the United States lasts until around the end of September. During the summer in the United States, kids are on break from school. This is a time that they are able to play summer sports, swim, and spend time on vacation with their families. Picnics are popular, as well as certain foods and drinks like watermelon and lemonade. During the summer, many plants and crops, such as citrus fruits, are ready for harvest. These are just a few things that make summer so enjoyable.

Polk High School holds softball awards banquet by Daniel Hecht
The Polk County High School softball program held its annual awards banquet Thursday, June 2 at the school’s cafeteria. Coaches gathered with players, parents and fans to celebrate an outstanding season for the Lady Wolverines, as the team finished 18-6 overall and 10-4 in conference competition. During the banquet, the program honored the team’s five graduating seniors, including Alicia Lockhart, Erica Painter, Kara Garvin, Cavin Richards and Hailey Champion. Coaches Jeff Wilson, Jamie Thompson, Jerry Hensley, Meghan Horne and Phillip Miller also recognized their most outstanding players by handing out conference honors and special awards during the event.

Landrum High athletes named All-Region, All-State by Joey Millwood
It was another successful season for Landrum athletics this spring. The Cardinals made a push deep into the playoffs in both baseball and softball. The boys’ soccer team advanced to the second round of the playoffs. The jewel for the spring, however, was the boys’ track team. The Cardinals brought home a state title in track led by state champions Cole McDowell and the 4x800 team
made up of Kenneth Human, Levi Wedde, Danny Bruce and Chris Downey. Human led the charge for the Cardinals, scoring 24 points. McDowell, Human, Wedde, Bruce and Downey all earned All-State honors. The girls’ track team finished seventh at the state meet. Sarah Cash and Shelby Morris earned All-State honors. The baseball team had one All-State athlete. Shortstop Kaleb Kuykendall won the dis-
tinction with his smooth glove and strong arm. The softball team had two All-State recipients. Junior pitcher Jordan Farmer and impossible-to-get-out junior catcher Bre Cuff took home the prize. All-Region honors in boys track went to McDowell, Human, Wedde, Bruce, Downey, Hunter Conley, Derek Belue, Cy Johnson, Peyton McCarter, Austin Brown, Brandon Cannon and JoJo Wilkins. All-Region in
girls’ track were Savanna LaPan, Morris and Kelsey Spicer. All-Region players in baseball were Kuykendall, Matt Pruitt, Joseph Corn and Thomas Rabatie. All-Region softball athletes were Farmer, Cuff, Taylor Jenkins and Skylar Henderson. J.J. Carruth, who signed to run cross country at Presbyterian College, earned All-Region honors in golf. Harry Reed was named to the All Region team in tennis, Jon Perry in boys’ soccer and Leah Smith in girls’ soccer.

Students create art in honor of Blue Ridge Barbecue Festival
Fourth-grader Anna Stratman was recently awarded a T-shirt and wristband to enjoy rides at the Blue Ridge Music and Barbecue Festival for artwork she created in honor of the festival. Tryon Elementary art teacher Clara Rogers had two classes of fourthgraders draw scenes of animated pigs either playing music or eating. Stratman’s artwork was selected out of 40 other posters currently hanging in the Tryon Post Office. Shown with Stratman, left to right, are Rogers, festival chairman Chuck Britton and festival merchandise chairman Phillip Edwards. (photo by Samantha Hurst)
Every earns funds from McDonald’s, Ronald McDonald House Charities Donna Every of Polk County High School has been named a Ray Kroc Scholar and was awarded a $1,000 scholarship from Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Carolina (RMHC of N.C.) and local McDonald’s owner/operators. Every is among 181 students from across the Carolinas who received college scholarships from RMHC of N.C. and local McDonald’s franchisees. “McDonald’s is committed to higher education and, as local business owners, it’s an honor to help send these students to college,” said McDonald’s owner/ operator Cynthia Samour. “Each year we look forward to this program and the opportunity to see promising students reach their goals.” RMHC and Ray Kroc Scholars were both chosen based on their leadership skills, academic success, community involvement, financial need and a per-
sonal essay describing how they intend to make a difference in society. Ray Kroc scholarships are awarded to McDonald’s employees who are furthering their secondary education. RMHC of N.C. is committed to the health and well being of children. From the five Ronald McDonald Houses in North Carolina that serve as “homes away from home” for families with seriously ill children to annual scholarships and grants for community programming, their outreach touches thousands of children each year. RMHC of N.C., an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization, is based in Raleigh, N.C., and is governed by a board of directors comprised of business, civic leaders and McDonald’s representatives. – article submitted by Michelle Young Hubacher

Green Creek School classmates to reunite June 12 Organizers invite everyone to attend the 15th annual Green Creek School Reunion on Sunday, June 12 from 2 – 5 p.m. The former Green Creek School has a rich history, having operated continuously for 78 years, during which thousands of students passed through its
doors. For the past 14 years, on the second Sunday in June, hundreds of those students have returned to their alma mater to renew old friendships and to relive the days of their youth. For generations, the school was the center of activity for
residents of the area. Some of these activities – cultural, social, recreational and education – are still being offered there because of the many people who have worked diligently to establish the Green Creek Community Center on the site. All former students, teachers,
their families and friends are encouraged to bring their old pictures, annuals and memories to share. Refreshments will be served. For more information, call 828-863-2437. - article submitted by Opal Suave

For careNormal physical and emotional givers of loved ones, accepting reactions include crying or being
unable to cry, loss of appetite, inability to sleep, a feeling of numbness, feelings of being unanchored and socially withdrawing. Everyone experiences their feelings and reactions differently. It’s okay to be angry and even better if you can redirect that anger energy into something constructive. Intense emotions can be a way to “hang on” to the deceased person and letting go of the emotion, or learning to live with it, can feel like letting go of the person who died. For some, feelings of relief may occur and that too is okay as emotional and physical pain and suffering are no longer daily aspects that have to be dealt with by the deceased. Don’t allow others to rush you through your grieving process. Ask for help from friends and family, particularly if new duties like handling the checkbook or paying bills is new to you. Seek out bereavement support, and one of the best sources may be your local Hospice where support groups commonly meet. Don’t rely on medicines to take the pain away. Antidepressants can actually impede the grieving process and cannot take away the feelings of loss. Time is often the best medicine when combined with loving support from friends and family. Eventually, normal life and living must resume. Your relationship to the person who died doesn’t end with his or her death, but it does change. Your goal as you go through the grieving process is not to let go of the love and the memories, but to find a way to hold on to them with less pain.

Tryon Running Club hosts June 11 running clinic The Tryon Running Club will host the Second Annual Running Clinic on Saturday, June 11 from 8 - 9 a.m. at The Blue Wall Passage of the Palmetto Trail behind Lake Lanier. Triathlete and running coach Katie Malone will offer group and individual coaching in three areas: beginner basics, hill training and trail running. A 19-time Ironman, Malone is a local triathlete and running coach who works with athletes of all abilities. Her main requirement is that participants have desire and commitment, believe in themselves and work hard. Coach Malone worked with new and seasoned runners last June at the TRC’s first running clinic. Many of those beginners recently completed their first 5Ks or 10Ks. The Tryon Running Club is a social running/walking group dedicated to bringing people together while exercising in the scenic Landrum-Tryon-Columbus area. All ages and abilities are welcome and there are no club dues. Runs are posted on the group’s Facebook page. The Tryon Running Club encourages members to train for local races to help build a more active community. “Many people think the Tryon Running Club is only for hardcore runner types, but in reality, we have a whole spectrum of folks who simply enjoy encouraging each other to reach fitness goals. And the best part about our group is making new friends,” said Scarlette Tapp. For more information, call Tapp at 864-680-1770 or check out the Tryon Running Club Facebook page. – article submitted by Scarlette Tapp

The Home Depot stores in Greer and the Dorman Center in Spartanburg have come through for Hospice of the Carolina Foothills (HoCF) once again, donating knock-out roses, gardenias and oak leaf hydrangea bushes for the second stage of planting at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum. The bushes were planted by eight volunteers from the Home Depot/Team Depot teams, who placed them on the right hand side of the driveway, along the Path of Remembrance, leading to the new pergola. “This is not the first time Home Depot has come to our aid,” said Hospice Development Manager Diane Nelson. “Earlier this year, they donated our foundation plantings, including camellias, rose bushes, red Japanese maple, junipers and monkey grass, which the
