Paddling the Narrows Kayak racers take on Green River Narrows tomorrow by Barbara Tilly

Among whitewater kayakers, the Green Race is one of the most well-known and respected creek races around the world. The race, which began in 1996, is held at noon each year on the first Saturday in November on .55 miles of the steepest section of the Green River Narrows, which includes numerous Class V rapids. The Green Race draws boaters from around the world to compete. But not that many actually compete, considering the fame of the race. In 15 years, according to americanwhitewater.org, only (Continued on page 6)

White Oak developers still owe Polk $115k for water line by Leah Justice

Polk County gave White Oak Development Partners, LLC until Monday, Oct. 31 to make good on an $115,752.50 debt for running a water line. Polk County officials are now waiting on a court date in civil superior court to re-enact its lawsuit since no payment

was made. White Oak also owes the county $38,559 for its 2010 taxes, according to the Polk County Tax Office. The last payment made to Polk County for the water line was on March

25, 2011 in the amount of $5,000, according to Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson. Polk County sued White Oak in July 2010 when the development still owed approximately $135,000 for the water line. The county had already worked out an agreement for White Oak to pay the balance in installments over a five-month period, but White Oak only paid the first installment. In September 2010, White Oak paid the county $15,000 and the county agreed to give the development another 120 days to pay the balance in full, which did not occur. White Oak and Polk County entered into a contract on Nov. 3, 2008 for the county to provide potable water to the development at an original cost of $423,515. The contract was amended after the project came in under budget (Continued on page 4)

Wildfire burns 20 acres of Chocolate Drop Mountain A wildfire that began Wednesday, Nov. 2 off U.S. 74 in Columbus burned approximately 20 acres in the area of Chocolate Drop Mountain, according to the Columbus Fire Department. Columbus Fire Chief Bobby Arledge said no structures were threatened and firefighters worked to control the fire with back burn-

ing, or building a fire around the perimeter to burn it out. The cause of the fire is unknown, although officials said they do know the fire began on the side of the interstate at the bottom of Chocolate Drop Mountain. The fire burned almost to the top of the mountain. All Polk County fire depart-

ments responded, including the Columbus, Tryon, Saluda, Mill Spring, Sunny View and Green Creek fire departments, along with the Landrum Fire Department, the N.C. Forest Service, the Polk County Rescue Squad, the Columbus Police Department, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, N.C. Department of

Transportation and the Polk County Chapter of the American Red Cross. Arledge said most firefighters were released by around 6:30 p.m. The fire started just before 3 p.m. Wednesday. The N.C. Forest Service checked the scene yesterday, Thursday, Nov. 3.

that the amount owed be paid plus eight percent interest from the date of the breach of the contract. Polk County paid for the water line extension out of its fund balance, and construction was completed in the fall of 2009. The planned golf course residential development is

located off Pea Ridge Road. The water line was extended from the county’s main line, which runs through Green Creek and connects the Broad River Water Authority to the Inman Campobello Water District. White Oak’s local attorney, Phil Feagan, was not available

as of press time yesterday to comment on the lawsuit. The Bulletin also contacted Rutherford County officials with regard to whether White Oak has paid Rutherford County for a sewer line extension, but the call was not returned by press time.

• Narrows

(continued from page 1)

412 people have entered the race. And for most of those who enter, the race is more about improving on their best time and making a safe, clean run than it is about winning. The chances of paddling into danger are high. Before entering the race, competitors must sign a waiver, which includes warnings of the possibility of lacerations, impalement and extensive dental damage. It also includes the phrase, “I have been warned of the stupidity of this activity,” according to americanwhitewater.org. The popularity of the race has grown in recent years, however. This year, 152 paddlers had registered to compete in the race as of Thursday, Nov. 3, according to a list compiled by Chris Bell on boatingbeta.com. No matter how many racers

there are, they have a good audience. Hundreds of onlookers hike or paddle in every year to watch and cheer on all the competitors. The trail to the Narrows is a section of the Pulliam Creek Trail and includes some extremely steep parts. Detailed directions are available at boatingbeta.com. Because of the crowds expected, hikers should start well before noon in order to reach the river in time to find a good place to watch the action. Racers start from the river right side of the long pool below Bride of Frankenstein and finish about five minutes and .55 miles later on the river left side of the pool below Rapid Transit. They take off at one-minute intervals, starting with long boats (the “open” division), then short boats under 9’. The known racers are seeded to keep passing to a minimum.

Vote on Nickels for Know-How assessment set for Nov. 16 by Samantha Hurst

Three polling places will be open around Polk County Nov. 16 to allow residents to vote for or against the continuation of a 15-cent assessment on fertilizer and commercial feed. Polk County Extension Director John Vining said the Nickels for Know-How assessment has been around for 60 years, which has had a trickle-down effect. “Polk County has not been given monies directly, but it has indirectly been supported through the monies raised,” Vining said. Some of the examples of benefits the local community has seen, he said, include development of 4-H livestock programs and educational materials, which local 4-H youth have used; creation of new forage

Nickels funds have helped CALS to establish more than 550 endowments valued at more than $100 million. Those endowments provide $900,000 in scholarships for 800 CALS undergraduate students. In addition, these endowments support faculty efforts, county extension programs, commodity research efforts and other programs in CALS.

Florida Boys perform at Landrum First Baptist Church Nov. 18 Landrum First Baptist Church hosts the Florida Boys for a love offering concert on Friday, Nov. 18 at 7 p.m. For more than 60 years, The Florida Boys has been a quartet in Southern Gospel Music. In July 2007, Les Beasley, Glen Allred and Derrell Stewart decided to retire and sang the last song together as The Florida Boys at the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Ky. These three passed the microphone to the present group to continue. The present group consists of Charlie Waller singing lead. He serves as the executive director of the Southern Gospel Music Association and has been inducted into the hall of fame located at Dollywood. Paul Hyde has been singing bass for 25 years with various groups, most recently Won by One and the Blackwoods. The baritone of the Florida Boys is Chip Cooper. Cooper has performed on the Dove Broadcasting Network, TCT Network, INSP Network and the Jimmy Snow Network. The tenor is Eddie Broome. Broome sang with the Dixie Echoes, Palmetto State Quartet and the Travâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;lers of Greenville, S.C. He was recently inducted into the South Carolina Gospel Music Hall of Fame. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; article submitted by Stacie J. Ridings

Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS) presents an exhibit featuring Francesco Lombardo with an opening reception on Sunday, Nov. 13 from 5 to 7 p.m. This is a opportunity to view his artwork, some of which has been on display at the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington. Lombardo studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, receiving his B.A. in painting in 2002 and shortly after studying with the painter Odd Nerdrum in Norway. In 2004 he was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study for a year in Iceland and found long-lasting influence in the cold, glowing skies of summer nights that never went dark.

His work was featured in the 2010 Outwin Boochever portrait competition after being selected from more than 3,300 entries. Lombardo’s portrait “Monique” was featured in the publication “Art in America” and used in Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery advertising. His latest body of work features 22 pieces done on location in Florence, Italy during the spring of 2011. This exhibit will run from Nov. 13 to Dec. 17 at TPS’ gallery, 26 Maple St. in Tryon. Gallery hours are Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, call 828-859-0141 or visit www. tryonpaintersandsculptors.com. – article submitted by Aviva Kahn

GE selects Greenville as electric vehicle test city Greenville, S.C. will be one of General Electric’s (GE’s) first test cities in the world for electric vehicles. GE is partnering with local governments and area businesses for the “EV Ecosystem” pilot project that will help develop the infrastructure to support electric vehicles. GE plans to install more than 40 electric-vehicle charging stations at locations across the Greenville area, including the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, downtown businesses, hotels and other spots. GE said it chose Greenville because of a long history of cooperation between the city, Duke Energy and GE Energy, which builds gas turbines at its plant in Greenville. David Searles, director of GE Ecomagination in New Jersey, said the project will help introduce and test electric vehicles. GE,

which manufacturers the charging stations in North Carolina, will have a chance to test them in working conditions, while Duke Energy will test the impact of electric vehicles on its grid. “As we get more chickens and eggs together, we think we’ll see tremendous opportunities for electric vehicles,” said Searles. “We have to get going and that’s what this is all about, introducing the technology and getting more people involved.” In addition, Enterprise is adding 10 electric vehicles to its Greenville rental fleet that will be used in a WeCar Program pilot project in Greenville. The project will use electric vehicles in a membership-based car sharing program. The electric vehicle

projects in Greenville are part of a coordinated effort to make the city a leader in new technology. The city began a “Greening of Greenville” project that also involves upgrades to LED lighting and improvements to make commercial buildings more energy efficient. Duke Energy is working through its SmartBuilding Advantage pilot program to share the cost of energy audits and upgrades for buildings in downtown Greenville. Duke, GE, the city and Hubbell Lighting also are collaborating to replace more than 30 streetlights on Main Street with LED lights, which are about 35 percent more energy efficient. “When we talk about sustainability, it’s about more than just

Governor’s Office *** Biltmore Estate says it will install 5,000 solar panels on six acres, creating one of the largest solar arrays in North Carolina. The $5.2 million array, which will be built over two months, is expected to supply about 25 percent of the estate’s energy. “This is part of the family heritage,” said Biltmore Estate Communications Director Kathleen Mosher, noting that George Vanderbilt had envisioned a selfsufficient country estate when he constructed the home in the late 1800s. The estate also operates programs for sustainable forestry, water conservation, waste stream reduction, recycling and field-totable food production. The array will be located east of the estate, below Antler Hill Village and visible from I-40. Because the solar panels will be only 3.5 feet by 5 feet the Biltmore can continue to use the six acres as farmland. The estate plans to use the acreage for free range chickens, which don’t seem to mind the panels, according to Chuck Pickering, Biltmore’s vice president of agriculture and land use. “(The array) gives them protection from hawks and other predators,” he said. – source: www.citizentimes. com, 10/28/11 *** Apple has started work on a solar farm next to its new data center in Maiden, N.C.

Gourmet Group said it plans to manufacture its own doors and drawer boxes at the expanded plant to reduce costs and control production. “We had a number of opportunities in other states, but the combination of educational resources, financial assistance and a strong labor pool led us to Rutherford County,” said Gourmet Group Chairman John Wilson. According to the N.C. Governor’s Office, the average wage of the new jobs will be $34,093, not including benefits. That exceeds the average annual wage in the county of $28,392. Gourmet Group received a $270,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund for economic development. – source: N.C. Office of the Governor, 10/28/11

Around the Region

*** Strata Solar of Chapel Hill is moving forward with plans for two new solar farms in North Carolina. The company plans to construct one of them in Robeson County to supply power to Progress Energy, while the other would be in Catawba County and sell power to Duke Energy. Each of the plants will produce about 5 megawatts of power, enough to meet the needs of about 500 homes. Strata Solar said five megawatts has become the standard for new plants as more investors enter the field and the price of photovoltaic panels declines. John Morrison, chief operating officer at Strata Solar, said the price of panels has dropped from about $4 a watt just three years ago to $1.10 per watt now, and it’s still falling. Strata said the new farms should begin generating power next year. A third, 4.5-megawatt farm the company is building in Cleveland County is expected to start operating around Thanksgiving. Morrison said the plants cost about $20 million to build, but more than two-thirds of the cost is covered by state and federal tax credits and premiums utilities pay to meet

*** The Center for Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS) has launched a new Incubator Farm Project to help attract new farmers in North Carolina. CEFS will help up to five communities in North Carolina set up incubator farms that give new farmers a place to learn about farming and finding markets for their products. Joanna Massey Lelekacs, the state coordinator for the project, said access to land has been identified as one of the leading challenges for new farmers in North Carolina. “The Incubator Farm Project will work with communities to

address this need by repurposing vacant public land into places that incubate new farmers,” she said. Through the Incubator Farm Project, farmers will get a rent-free place to farm in exchange for their commitment to give back to their communities, by donating fresh farm products or other services to those in need. Farmers also receive education and support from Cooperative Extension agricultural agents. City and county governments and state agencies can submit proposals for the project to CEFS prior to Dec. 1. The incubator project is part of a “10 percent campaign” launched by CEFS to encourage consumers to spend 10 percent of their food budgets on locally produced foods. – source: www.southeastfarmpress.com, 10/21/11 *** Nine communities in North Carolina received the inaugural Small Business Community Award from N.C. Governor Bev Perdue. The award goes to communities that found creative and innovative ways to help small businesses create more jobs. The governor’s office noted that two-thirds of all new jobs are created by small businesses. The award program honors projects, strategies and initiatives “that reflect excellence in community economic development, small business and entrepreneurship and sustainability in North Carolina.” This year’s winners included: Town of Burgaw, Town of Elkin, City of Greenville, City of Kannapolis, Lumberton, Rockingham County, Town of Star, Town of Maxton and Town of Valdese. As an example of one of the projects, the City of Kannapolis has worked with a development company to turn a former industrial complex into the North Carolina Research Campus. The bioscience research campus includes more than 3 million square free of office, lab and civic space, including 1,000 on-campus dwelling units. The campus is a partnership with eight universities in the state. – source: www.governor. state.nc.us

How to Find New Life in Christ

This is what the Bible tells us: By nature, your heart runs from God and rebels against Him. The Bible calls this "sin." Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Yet God loves you and wants to save you from your sins. To give you this gift of salvation, God made a way through His Son, Jesus Christ. John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” You receive this gift by faith alone. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Will you receive Jesus Christ right now? 1. Admit your need (I am a sinner). 2. Be willing to turn from your sins (repent). 3. Believe that Jesus Christ died for You on the cross and rose from the grave. 4. Through prayer, invite Jesus Christ to come into your heart and life through the Holy Spirit (Receive Him as Lord and Savior). If you are choosing right now to receive new life through Jesus Christ, pray this prayer. Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus Name, Amen This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should: 1. Read your Bible everyday to know Christ better. 2. Talk to God in prayer every day. 3. Tell others about your commitment to Christ. 4. Worship, fellowship, and serve with other Christians in a Bible-teaching church. If you have trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please let us know. We want to rejoice in what God has done in your life and help you to grow spiritually. If you have questions please call:

Letter to the Editor

Don’t crush our grapes To the Editor:

Did the article of Oct. 7 about the N.C. Wine Industry by Governor Perdue catch the attention of no one else besides the Turners (article of Oct. 19) and I? Governor Perdue clearly stated that in 2009 alone the wine industry had an economic impact of $1.28 billion and that it has experienced a 58 percent growth from 2005-2009. She went on to write, “This growing industry is a significant economic engine for N.C., helping to preserve farmland and bring revenue to our rural communities.” As a vineyard owner and a concerned businesswoman, I cannot believe the antiquated views of our county. I repeatedly hear that Polk is focusing on agri-tourism to generate revenue to the county yet the reality is, there appear to be more steps backwards due to the ABC’s renewed crack-down and the fact that conservatives in Polk are embracing its status as a dry county. In June and again in August, as Giardini was denied annexation, I thought to myself how sad that a viable, thriving business was not given the support it deserved to flourish. In September, as I volunteered for the second annual Farm to Fork Supper (to benefit the Mill Spring Agricultural Center), I was told that due to the ABC crackdown, we could not have donations of

wine for our silent auction and would have to forego the revenue from “donations” of wine and beer graciously given from regional companies. Not only did this greatly affect the amount of monies earned but it also gave an unfair disadvantage to the community since several businesses, under the imposed circumstances, chose not to participate. The last, and perhaps final straw for me was at FENCE’s Wine & Art Festival. Again, due to ABC’s enforcement of “Polk being a dry county,” the organizers had to move the event to South Carolina. Personally, I thought about not attending (as attendance of exhibitors was way down from the prior year) but decided that it was more important for me to make a presence and support fellow artisans and wineries. Yes, the event was wonderful but we all lost out. Polk County lost the benefit of tourists spending time and money in the area and our local N.C. wineries lost many sales. I attended the Friends of Agriculture Breakfast last Wednesday and made sure to introduce myself to Libbie Johnson (newly hired economic tourism development director), as did some acquaintances from a new vineyard in Mill Spring. We, as well as many others in Polk County, are hopeful that she will be a catalyst for change. I encourage anyone who has a viable interest in agri-tourism, preservation of farmland and economic growth here in Polk to speak up, get involved and ensure that we ready all of our townships in the county for the success it deserves. – Mindy Wiener

paddling by Barbara Tilly

For many people in the Carolinas, choosing a getaway destination means deciding between water and mountains. You can enjoy boating, fishing and beautiful water vistas, or you can follow winding roads and hiking trails amidst glorious mountain views. They both sound so attractive – how can you possibly choose one over the other? You don’t have to. The Foothills’ lakes and rivers offer a myriad of options for boating, fishing, tubing and swimming, all surrounded by the beauty and charm of the mountains. A meandering drive around Lake Lanier, located off Hwy. 176 between Tryon and Landrum, offers lake and mountain vistas around nearly every corner. The lake is private, but some homes are available as vacation rentals – sometimes even including the use of a boat. Also nearby, and open to the public, are Lake Adger, Lake Lure, the Green River and Laughter Pond.

Lake Adger: Popular for fishing and boating, Lake Adger is located off Hwy. 9 near Mill Spring and Sunny View. It offers a public landing with no fee for use. Bass, panfish, muskies, crappy and catfish are among the fish people report catching at Lake Adger. The lake offers mountain views from many angles and is ideal for exploring by canoe or kayak. It is small enough that a kayaker can paddle from one end to the other and back in a day but large enough to offer variety. Lake Adger is patrolled by the N.C. Department of Natural Resources. Boat motors are limited to a maximum of 60 horsepower (80hp for pontoon boats). No guns, alcohol or jet skis are permitted. The public landing is located on Silver Creek Road, off Hwy. 9 in Mill Spring.

Lake Lure: A short drive up Hwy. 9 from Mill Spring, Lake Lure offers views and amenities similar to those at Lake Adger, with the addition of a public beach and two nearby towns – Lake Lure and Chimney Rock – that provide restaurants, shops, inns and other facilities. The lake is known as the original site of the filming of the movie “Dirty Dancing.”

Kayakers find their way to the water early around these parts with the Green River providing a great spot to paddle. The highly anticipated Narrows Race is held every year around the end of October or beginning of November. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

You can swim at the public beach, rent pontoon boats, kayaks and canoes at the marina or take one of the guided tours of the lake, which depart from the marina. For more information, call 828-625-1373 or visit www.townoflakelure.com.

Green River: If you return to the area on a hot summer weekend, one of the most popular ways to cool off in the area is a tubing trip on the lower Green River. Tubers float down the river for several hours, navigating numerous class 1 and 2 rapids – fun but safe enough for novices. The trips generally start at the Fish Top Access Area and end six miles downriver at the Big Rock Access Area. The Green River water flow is controlled by the Tuxedo Hydro station dam releases. If no release is scheduled, the water flow will usually not be high enough for tubing or kayaking. Information about releases is available at www. boatingbeta.com/runs/flows/green or 800-829-5253.

Cardinals host first round of state playoffs vs. Calhoun County by Joey Millwood

Landrum Head Coach Russell Mahaffey hasn’t had to worry too many times this season about how his team would respond after a loss. In fact, until this week, the Cardinals only had to come out after loss just one time. This week, however, the Cardinals will be opening the first round of the 1A state playoffs at home. The Cardinals will host Calhoun County and they’ll have to have a short memory.

Landrum suffered its worst defeat of the year last week at Christ Church. In that game, however, the Cardinals were plagued by injuries, which threw off their offense entirely. Starting tailback Cole McDowell was held out of the game with an ankle injury. Starting offensive linemen Austin Howell and Matt Pace were out as well. With those key injuries, the running game sputtered and that affected the passing attack.

Quarterback Brandon Cannon had little time to get the ball out of his hands. Mahaffey hopes to have all three back for tonight’s playoff matchup. How will his team respond after the tough loss? “I think our team will come out and play hard,” Mahaffey said. They’ll have their hands full with a team that generally puts out some good talent. Calhoun

County is the alma mater of South Carolina Gamecock wide receivers Alshon Jeffrey and Shamier Jeffrey. This season the team is led by wide receiver Mark Irick. The Saints run a spread offense. Landrum enters the game 8-2. The Saints are 6-3. Kickoff will be at 7:30. The only passes accepted at the gate at a playoff game will be South Carolina High School League passes. Tickets are $7.

Polk kicks off NC 2A state playoffs tonight at Little Big House

Polk County’s defensive front will look to contain a powerhouse Warhorse offense during tonight’s playoff opener at the Little Big House (photo by Daniel Hecht) by Daniel Hecht

Two weeks ago, Polk County travelled to Shuford Field in Black Mountain to square off against the Warhorses of Owen High School. In what turned out to be the most exciting contest of the season by far, the Wolverines held off the

surging Warhorses in the final minute of play to escape with a narrow 20-17 victory. Tonight, as the 2011 2A state football playoffs get underway with 16 contests across North Carolina, it is Owen’s turn to make the 100-mile round trip. The War-

horses will gallop into town for the 7:30 p.m. start with revenge on their minds, as they look for their first win against Polk County in five seasons. “I can assure that their team will be excited about the chance to play us again and not having to wait

until next season,” said Wolverine Head Coach Bruce Ollis. “No player on the Owen team has ever been a part of a victory over Polk County and I am sure their focus will be putting an end to that.” For their part, the Wolverines will be looking for redemption as well, coming off last week’s lackluster performance that cost the team the conference title. “We were embarrassed by our performance last Friday,” said Ollis. “A chance to win our third conference title in a row, we certainly should have played better. No doubt that Hendersonville is a quality team but we made them look much better by our poor performance.” The road to the state title is quite straightforward. Five victories – first round, district, sectional, regional and state – and you hoist (Continued on page 37)

the trophy and hang the banner. One loss and you’re through for the season. The facts are as simple as they are brutal – there is no next week in November. Aiding the Wolverines in this year’s quest towards football’s Promised Land is some very favorable playoff seeding. “Amazingly, this is the highest we have ever been seeded in the West,” said Ollis. “We are number three overall and number two in our pod. A victory this evening will guarantee the Wolverines another

home playoff game, taking on the winner of tonight’s matchup between Maiden and East Rutherford. For Polk County, this week has been all about character. “Our motto this week has been Pride, Intensity and Guts. If we play with those attributes in mind, I believe we will obtain the outcome we desire,” said Ollis. “We have a great opportunity to make a super playoff run.” Athletic Director Jeff Wilson asked fans to remember that no passes are accepted for North Carolina state playoff games.

TLT’S “My Three Angels” convicts and god machines

Three convicts in 1910 French Guiana, Jules (Joshua Moffitt), Joseph (Edward Harrelson) and Alfred (Jeremy Wood) plot how to make everything rosy this Christmas Eve. (photo submitted by Connie Clark)

The Tryon Little Theater’s (TLT) classic comedy “My Three Angels” opens at the Workshop Nov. 10 to play through Nov. 20. There will be two Sunday matinees and a third matinee added on Saturday, Nov. 19. Saturday, Nov. 19 TLT will join in the honored theatrical tradition of “two-a-day,” giving performances both in the afternoon and evening. And there’s another theatrical tradition put forth in “My Three Angels,” one as old as ancient Greek and Roman drama: the deus ex machina. Literally translated, that means “god machine.” Stage machinery would lower an actor representing a god or goddess, or else a statue of said deity, to the stage floor. The god would then resolve all the play’s entanglements, which would have stayed a complete mess without divine intervention. If you’re not into lowering a

god figure onto the stage, you can use any artificial or improbable device to resolve the difficulties at hand. Cinderella had her Godmother. Superman and Spiderman fly in to vanquish the bad guys. And “My Three Angels” has Joseph, Jules and Alfred. These three convicts begin the play up on the Ducotels’ roof making repairs and from up there they overhear problems facing the family. No stage machinery lowers them to the acting floor; they climb down a bamboo ladder into the living room. The convicts proceed to solve the Ducotels’ problems in the most unexpected ways. When attending TLT’s “My Three Angels,” you are witnessing a direct link to ancient Greek and Roman theatre. For tickets, call 828-859-2466. - article submitted by Connie Clark

The menu includes a choice of pastries or breakfast casserole, each accompanied by fruit and beverage. To-go boxes will be available.

McTeacher Night raises $850 for Tryon Elementary R.I.F. program Tryon Elementary School’s McTeacher Night raised a total of $850, between sales and donations, for their R.I.F. program. Bus driver Ms. Kathy worked the drive thru window, while Lauren Stone and Ms. Wilson worked the drink machine and Ms. Bruce worked the ice cream machine. Ms. Wilkins and Ms. Guffey were on hand to welcome customers in with a special McDonald’s song. Principal Mr. Sizemore was at the door to greet parents and students while Ms. Brown from Forbes Preschool wiped down tables. The R.I.F. program provides free books to children four times a year without government funding. The school relies solely on this fundraiser along with grants from companies like Walmart, Target and Dollar General to fund the program. (photos submitted by Sue Heston)

The tales that I don’t tell

I’ve often spoken of the many and play wonderfully. The only cases that Lennie’s fund handles thing Belle will not share is the Conner’s son, Andy. I was told that I don’t speak of. Sometimes I’ll relate a case that that the dogs sleep together on the goes so smoothly I simply stow it same couch and have truly bonded away in favor of more pressing as sisters. Chris recently took her bird issues. Issues such as Raisin and hunting up to Jewel, which at Wisconsin and the moment are Humane Society she had the time my top priority. Special Cases of her life.

As I’ve was quick to learn. Maggie’s name has been often stated, “there are just too many wounds and not enough band changed to Lily. It seems the aids.” Be that as it may, though I Connor’s have a daughter named may forget, my readers do not. I’ve Maggie. This is a message to had literally dozens of people ask, their daughter, “As far as I’m concerned, you couldn’t have had “What happened to Maggie?” Maggie Mae, as I call her, was the young German Shorthair Pointer who simply put, was in the wrong environment for her breed. So to all of you who have expressed concern, this one is for you. Shortly after the fantastic outcome for Ranger, the lab-shepherd that was struck by a car, I received a call about Maggie Mae. I was in the midst of a whirlwind week trying to touch all the proper bases that would afford the best outcome for my kids. Chris and Tracie Conner related their story of why they believed Maggie Mae was meant for them. After Ranger, their tale just seemed to good to be true. The Connors have 13 acres of land for Maggie to run on. They currently have a beautiful Brittany Spaniel in need of a companion. Belle is 5 years old and lost her companion (another Brittany) a year ago. Chris and his son Andy are bird hunters and all are well informed on Maggie’s breed. “She looks exactly like Greta,” I was told, a German Shorthair they owned years ago in Ohio. The more I listened, the more it sounded like a fairy tale, but you can’t make this stuff up. The meeting, the love affair, (on both ends) and the adoption were over in days from the initial call. I visited the family and watched Maggie free as a bird in all her glory. Both she and Belle get along

Hugill’s visited by Lord and Lady Borthwick of Scotland Dr. and Mrs. John Hugill of Campobello were recently visited by Lord and Lady Borthwick of Scotland. Their Borthwick Castle, one of the largest and best-preserved surviving medieval Scottish fortifications was constructed in 1430 by Lord William Borthwick. The current Lord John Borthwick, friend of the Hugills, is the 24th Lord and head of the clan. The castle, on occasion, is the scene for many social events, including weddings. The Borthwicks now live in Crookston House, built in 1816 to replace Old Crookston House, which was a 17th century Laird’s house. It is located on The Borders, between England and Scotland. The Borthwicks have been farmers for many generations, raising cattle and sheep. Now retired, Lord John Borthwick still enjoys deer stalking and logging on his lands at Heriot, Midlothian. However fishing is the real passion of both. Hugill, who is English, went to boarding school at Gordonstoun. There he met the future Lord John Borthwick. They became friends and remained so during the five years that they spent together at that school.

redeemed - 19

Gordonstoun was founded by Kurt Hahn, who also founded the Outward Bound Movement. Amongst its well-known attendees, includes Prince Phillip and his own son, Prince Charles. The school motto is “Plus est en vous,” which translates into “There is more in you,” with “than you think” being implied. Hugill and Borthwick had lost contact with each other, and were only reunited 50 years later, thanks to the Internet. Last year the Hugills visited Lord and Lady Borthwick at Crookston where they live and met his family. Now they reciprocated, coming here to visit the foothills area. Shelley Dayton and Mike Gron hosted a southern BBQ in honor of the Borthwicks. Joyce Pratt, wife of Michael Pratt who attended the BBQ, discovered that she and Lady Adelaide had attended prep school together and even remembered each other. Others attending were Shields and Frances Flynn, Sue Spiegel and Gene Marlowe. Lord and Lady Borthwick enjoyed baby back ribs, pulled pork, fried chicken and biscuits and southern desserts. - article submitted by Shelley Dayton
