The South Carolina Department of Revenue said wording of the alcohol referendum passed by Landrum voters Nov. 8 should have matched wording of the state statute but it did not. Therefore the department has placed limitations on the on-premise sale of alcohol in the city on Sundays. City administrator Steve Wolochowicz said he, city council members and city attorney Larry Flynn were all under the assumption that the city had the right to be more restrictive in its language. “I and others believed that when the state has a law, cities have a right to be more strict; you can’t be more liberal, but you can be more strict,” Wolochowicz said. “The Department of Revenue is of the opinion that you have to use their wording exactly in your referendum. You have no choice. It’s their (Continued on page 5)

The number of building permits and plats recorded in Polk County dropped significantly over the past decade, while the number of inmates and emergency medical service calls mostly increased, according to a report submitted with

Chris Tinkler performed “Santaland Diaries at a sold-out event in Tryon last week. (photo submitted)
‘Santaland’ raises funds for Artspace Chris Tinkler delivered a holiday treat for a sold-out crowd in Tryon last week, in a one-nightonly performance of author David Sedaris’ “Santaland Diaries.” Tinkler had the audience of 100plus in stitches as Crumpet, a disenchanted and surly Macy’s department store elf. The one-man play was the main attraction in the Upstairs Artspace’s holiday fundraiser, “A Very Sedaris Christmas,” held at the old Sunnydale restaurant next to IGA in Tryon. Guests also enjoyed a smorgasbord of dishes
prepared by Tryon caterer Pat Strother, inspired by recipes from “I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence,” a new cookbook by David Sedaris’ sister, Amy Sedaris. “Santaland Diaries” has been an NPR Christmastime favorite for years, but it was Tinkler who introduced it to the stage in Tryon, with two sold-out performances for the Upstairs in 2004. He said he brought the show back to help the Upstairs’ new board of directors hit the ground running. (Continued on page 7)

way or no way.” Landrum’s referendum stated that “restaurants” could apply for on-premise alcohol permits for Sundays to sell wine, beer and liquor. The state statute however said “businesses” could apply for such a permit. If businesses in general could apply for such a permit that could open the door for a bar or private club to offer alcohol sales on Sunday, something Wolochowicz said council members did not want to see happen. In response to the wording change, the Department of Revenue’s interpretation places limits on Sunday alcohol sales. The restrictions would allow restaurants to apply for Sunday on-premise sale permits with the ability to sell beer and wine, if approved for said permit, indefinitely. Restaurants receiving the permit for on-premise Sunday sales would only be allowed to sell liquor for one year. “At this stage of the game onpremise sales would be available to anyone interested as early as the end of this week,” Flynn said. In June of this year the legislature passed a law that said any business owner in an area that had a successful referendum for alcohol

sales could apply for a permit to sell just beer and wine without paying the fee associated with the permits. To sell liquor as well, there is a $3,000 fee per year. If the restaurants in Landrum choose to pay that $3,000 fee they would only be able to do so for one year. Wolochowicz and council members met with Flynn during an executive session Dec. 13 to discuss the city’s options regarding the new restrictions. If Landrum officials want to pursue lengthening the ability to sell liquor on Sundays, the city would have to approve placing a new referendum on the ballot in November 2012 using the exact wording of the state statute. This would not only open the door up for a larger variety of businesses to sell alcohol, but could also open the door for the referendum to fail. “The risk is if it doesn’t pass, and you don’t have a successful referendum, then you don’t get the beer and wine sales anymore either,” Wolochowicz said. “Being a major election next year we will have a lot more voters voting, so who knows how it will go.” The referendum passed in the last election by just 22 votes, Wolochowicz said. Wolochowicz said he would likely suggest that council begin discussions about whether or not to pursue another referendum next March.

very young woman in need of reassurance and so Gabriel told her three distinctly comforting things: 1) do not be afraid, 2) you have found favor with God and 3) nothing will be impossible with God. The part of this narrative which has confounded theologians for centuries has been the issue of Mary’s choice in the matter. Some have argued that she had no choice, that she was simply the maternal vessel chosen to bring about God’s purposes whether she wanted to be or not. And yet others believe that when Gabriel appeared to Mary she did indeed have (Continued on page 9)

The Gospel lesson for the fourth Sunday in Advent is St. Luke’s account of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38), wherein Gabriel appears to Mary and tells her that she has been chosen by God to be the Theotokos; literally the “God Bearer.” Since Biblical archeologists and scholars tell us that Mary was probably in her early teens when the archangel came to her, we can be somewhat sympathetic to her responses, which, translated into 2011 Teenereze might have been, “Dude! Say what? Can’t be! No man been here!” (Does kind of take the holiness shine off of it, don’t you think?) Nonetheless, Mary was a

a choice in the matter. She could agree and say yes to God, or she could refuse the offer, say no, and remain a simple Jewish country girl. What if Mary had said, “No?” Where would we be? Would God have gone on to choice number two? But since the best choice had said no, what if the second best had said the same? Then what? Go to virgin number three? Four? 57? I don’t think so. One of the things of which I am absolutely sure in this story is that God did not make a random choice in Mary. For the blessing of the Incarnation to be complete, her willingness and consent had to be part of the bargain.

This was no ordinary child she would bear. He was to be named Joshua (Jesus is the Greek form) and Joshua was the inheritor of Moses’ place of leadership among the ancient Hebrews. He was to be the Son of God, holy, the inheritor of David’s kingdom, and what was to be established in and through him would remain forever. Now if I were 14 or 15 years old, sitting on my bed in a little backwater town in Galilee, confronted by an archangel and had that lot dumped in my lap I might run shrieking from the room, but not our girl. God had chosen perfectly, and I can see Mary settle back on the bed, hug her pillow closely and after a slight moment of thought say, “Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be

Make a plan to manage holiday weight gain this year As the holiday season approaches, many begin to worry about fitting into their favorite jeans once January rolls around. Many of us gain between 1 to 5 pounds each holiday season. Although those are small gains, most people who gain weight during the holidays never manage to return to their pre-holiday weight. This year, don’t let holiday weight gain weigh you down! By implementing a few healthy strategies into your daily routine you can stay on a healthier track. 1. Move more – For the best health, adults need at least 3060 minutes of exercise a day. How you get those minutes is up to you! Do something you enjoy. Be active with friends for extra fun and support. Don’t let exercise go on vacation. 2. Look at the holiday as
a day, not a week or a month. fied not “stuffed’” Splurge on just one day. 5. Never attend a party 3. Make a plan. If you’re or get-together on an empty going to have a big dinner, eat stomach. Make sure to grab a a lighter lunch. Fill you plate healthy snack or meal at home once at the buffet or office party before the chaos begins. and don’t go back for seconds. 6.

more on celebrating the beauty of the season and the company of the people you love. Give yourself the gift of health over the holiday season by sticking with your fitness routine and planning ahead to curb excessive overeating. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. 9. Get enough rest and hydration. Sometimes it’s not food we crave, it’s lack of sleep and dehydration. Before grabbing that snack drink some water. If the hunger feeling goes away, then you were dehydrated. It’s a challenge for people to stay on track this time of year, but if you make a plan and stick with it January will be a kinder, gentler month.

St. Luke’s geriatric psychiatry unit receives donation The St. Luke’s Hospital geriatric psychiatry unit is ready for Christmas, thanks to the donation of afghans from Pure Country Weavers in Lynn. These afghans are carefully wrapped, lovingly placed under the Christmas tree and will be given to the patients who are on the unit at Christmas. Started in 1988, Pure Country Weavers is a family owned business that makes all of its products in Lynn. Company officials said it is one of the largest weavers today and the largest fine arts tapestry provider in the world. “This donation is perfect for our residents,” said Wanda Thompson, activities director for St. Luke’s geriatric psychiatry unit. “I think it is wonderful that Pure Country cares enough about our patients to help us. It’s very touching and wonderful to know that we have a gift for each patient on the unit on Christmas Day. For some, this may be the only gift they will receive!” As part of its mission to the community, St. Luke’s Hospital offers a 10-bed inpatient geriatric psychiatric unit that serves adults age 55 and over. The unit specializes in the diagnoses and treatment of diseases such as depression, anxiety and panic disorders, Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias, Parkinson’s, psychosis, bipolar and
