Did you know that a hummingbird’s nest is the size of a thimble? Did you know that they flap their wings in the shape of a figure eight? The Garden Patch’s Jeanine Gauen provided these facts and many more about the hummingbird when she spoke to the Tryon Kiwanis Club June 29.
Columbus eyes becoming part of Handmade in America program by Leah Justice
As part of their efforts to grow the local economy, Columbus officials have said they hope one day to be part of Handmade in America, a non-profit organization that promotes craft and culture for communities in Western North Carolina.
Columbus Town Council has discussed the program during the past few meetings, and town manager Jonathan Kanipe and councilwoman Ernie Kan attended a Handmade in America meeting in May.

Carriage rides offered this Friday in downtown Landrum Visitors to Landrum can enjoy a carriage ride around the city Friday, July 8 from 6-8 p.m. Tickets for the rides can be purchased at the Foothills Amish Furniture store across from the Hare and the Hound. The rides are held the second Friday of every month. Landrum City Council members approved using $500
a month in hospitality tax funds
to cover the cost of hosting the rides through October. Landrum Business Association (LABA) president Melanie Jennings said the carriage driver will also begin offering historical information about the city along the ride. Jennings said the LABA is also seeking ghost stories from the area for a possible haunted carriage ride near Halloween.

off to do laundry – in the basement. i think Dad and god had an arrangement there. During those summer days of storm watching, and on hunting, fishing or camping trips Dad taught me how to watch the sky, sniff the wind, feel the air and read the signs that bad weather was on the way. he also taught me how to survive being suddenly caught in a life-threatening weather event, skills which have served me well on more than one mountain hike. i was once unable to outpace a massive storm on Roan mountain and remembered Dad’s instructions to “stay low, get out of the wind and away from big trees and the run-off.” the two hours
that I scrunched up under that tiny limestone ledge prevented those 60mph winds from blowing me off the mountain. Storms come at us all the time. Sometimes they involve weather, but most of the time the storms in our lives come at us in the form of conflict, accidents, illness, death or …well, you name it. as Dad taught me how to sense, anticipate and survive stormy weather our heavenly Father gives us instructions on how to do the same for all those other disruptions of life and peace. The porch swings where we can sit cuddled up in his arms are numerous. Some of those places are churches; some are them are Bible passages or

the writings of our great spiritual teachers; sometimes they are found in the company of a soul friend or spiritual director, but God always makes them available if we are willing to listen and learn. god is aware that storms are going to come upon us and he wants up to be prepared for them and to be able to face them without fear, to follow what he has taught and to rejoice when the clear skies come again. As i write this, sitting on my porch as a storm boils off somewhere near green Creek, i take an occasional sip of my vodka martini and fondly remember Dad, his calm, confident teaching, and his glass of iced sweet tea (after all, he was a devout Baptist deacon).

Carter named St. Luke’s Employee of the First Quarter 2011 St. Luke’s officials say Libby Carter, RN, director of the Community Alternatives Program for Disabled Adults (CAP/DA), is dependable, loyal and caring. Administrators say she has always reached above and beyond the call of her duties, but she never imagined that “just doing her job” would land her in this position. Carter has been selected as Employee of the First Quarter for 2011 at St. Luke’s Hospital. Carter said she enjoys her job, her clients and co-workers and has a definite love for St. Luke’s Hospital. “The CAP program and the people I am privileged to serve are my reason for working,” said Carter. “I see what a difference this program makes in our clients and their families’ lives. I am thrilled that I get to play a part in keeping them where they want to be – at home.” Janice Edwards, administrative assistant said, “I have worked with Libby for seven years and I have seen how she genuinely cares about our clients and does anything in her power to get them what they need.” Sandy Brooks, RN, chief nursing officer agreed. She said,
“Libby is very deserving of this recognition. A truly dedicated employee, Carter is such an asset to CAP and St. Luke’s Hospital.” CAP/DA, which began in 1988, is a Medicaid-funded program. The program provides services to individuals in their home who would otherwise require the level of care provided in a nursing facility. CAP can provide assistance to disabled adults or the elderly. A nurse/social worker team will assess the client’s social and medical needs and develop a care plan to meet those needs. They’ll arrange CAP services, which include in-home aides to assist with personal care and activities of daily living. Registered nurses oversee case management to insure that services are adequate and meet client’s health and safety needs. The CAP program also provides incontinence supplies, nutritional supplements, home mobility devices (walkers, wheelchair, etc.), safety and medical equipment, telephone alerts and in-home or institutional respite care. Many individuals may qualify for CAP and not even know it. People who are eligible for CAP are residents of Polk
Libby Carter, RN, CAP Director
County, eligible for Medicaid and at-risk for nursing home placement, have been approved for skilled or intermediate care by a physician and whose care can be provided safely in the home and at less cost than facility placement. When not working, Carter enjoys horses – riding and supporting her daughter (Elizabeth, 22, and a recent college grad) when she shows her horse. She also enjoys writing and has been published as well as been the S.C. Press Associate Feature Writer of the Year.
Carter also enjoys working in her gardens, swimming and reading. As Employee of the Quarter, Carter received a monetary award and designated parking space at the hospital. By making sure residents of our community receive the services they need, St. Luke’s Hospital continues to provide exceptional care, close to home. If you have any questions about the CAP/DA program, please call Libby Carter at (828) 894-0564. - article submitted by Jennifer Wilson
Hospice of the Carolina Foothills is national We Honor Veterans Partner It may surprise many people to learn that 25 percent of those who die every year in the U.S. are veterans. To help provide care and support that reflect the important contributions made by these men and women, Hospice of the Carolina Foothills (HoCF) has become a national partner of We Honor Veterans, a campaign developed by the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The nation is seeing many of the veterans who served in World War II and Korea pass away, and the number of deaths
of Vietnam veterans is beginning to rise. As a We Honor Veterans Partner, HoCF will implement ongoing veteran-centered education for their staff and volunteers to help improve the care they provide to the veterans they proudly serve. HoCF will assess their ability to serve veterans and, using resources provided as part of the campaign, integrate best practices for providing end-oflife care to veterans into their organization. In cases where there might be some specific needs related to the veteran’s military service, combat experience, or
other traumatic events, HoCF will find tools to help support those they are caring for. According to HoCF CEO Jean Eckert, 20 percent of patients served in 2010 were veterans. “And we are fully committed to providing the best possible care specifically tailored for Veterans, meeting their goals of care in their preferred setting. We are privileged to be able to serve those who have served our country,” said Eckert. During the end of May, HoCF honored 18 veterans who reside in four skilled nursing facilities in North and South Carolina: Camp Care Inman,
“We are privileged to be able to serve those who have served our country.” -- Jean Eckert
Golden Age Inman, Inman Healthcare and Autumn Care Saluda. According to HoCF chaplain Rev. Dean Elliott, “the veterans seemed pleased to be honored and remembered, and there was definitely a sense of pride among them, their families, and the nursing home and hospice staff who were in attendance.” –article submitted by Marsha Van Hecke

with pictures illustrating a North Carolina fact for each letter of the alphabet. Mora’s class did the same for Costa Rica. “You mean you don’t have a soccer field at your school?,” they asked. Mora’s students were amazed since their world revolves around soccer. “Do you have snowflakes?” a Costa Rican kindergartner asked. They have studied them but never seen them. There was also
a two-hour time difference, the children of Sunny View discovered. Sunny View students were highly entertained by the kindergartners of Costa Rica who wore costumes and danced a folk dance.

Sunny View Elementary School has promoted Polk County School’s Global Awareness in the 21st Century philosophy through video conferencing with other schools. Many Sunny View teachers are registered with Collaborations Around the Planet (CAPspace), a social networking tool for colleagues and schools interested in collaborative video conferencing around the world. There are currently 9,321 educators from 34 countries registered with CAPspace.
