‘Get Better’ premieres at Tryon Theatre June 18

by Samantha Hurst

Tryon Theatre’s marquee proudly proclaims the premiere of “Get Better,� set to show at the theater Monday, June 18.

Not only was the independently-produced drama filmed in Tryon and surrounding areas last November, but filmmakers Chris White and Emily Reach White chose Tryon’s own Robert Linder to play one of the lead roles. “The character I play in the film has retreated from his world, which is understandable given his challenges,� said Linder of the terminally ill patient, Roy, he plays in the film. “But not me. The film stands as proof that cancer is not a death sentence. It provides us with a choice. And I chose to live my (Continued on page 6)

the building, after which renovations can begin.

Ideas for the approximately 55,000-square-foot building include a flea market in approximately 8,000 square feet of space upstairs. Thomas said he envisions the market being held on Saturdays and being geared toward yard sale type items for sale from the community.

In another portion of the building, Thomas said he envisions an outdoor/camp store, with apparel being sold upstairs and larger items such as canoes and kayaks sold downstairs.

Thomas is also considering developing an equine retail/ consignment type store and a coffee shop type business in the building. He said he also thinks a sports equipment store would be good for this area.

Thomas said part of the renovations include a deck area with a

boardwalk to the adjacent Pacolet River, which he said would be a great area for a coffee shop.

“What I’m trying to do is start up businesses,” Thomas said. “I

set them up and let someone else run it. I think it will be a great place for people.”

Thomas said one great thing about the space is there’s enough

for about 10 businesses, which could create about 40 new jobs for the area.

to hold joint open house June 20

Family Preservation Services (FPS) and Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry (Outreach) will hold a joint open house in their offices on White Drive on Wednesday, June 20 from 1 – 3 p.m.

“We wanted to take the opportunity to showcase our new office at 94 White Drive and share the work that we have been doing in Polk County for the past five years,” said Melissa Tambini, regional director of Family Preservation Services. “With the flowers blooming, and a feeling of fun in the air, the first day of summer seemed like an ideal time to open our doors and welcome the community into our new space.”

Carol Newton, executive director of Outreach, said the organization is delighted to join with its neighbor, FPS, in a collaborative summer open house.

Outreach is located at 134 White Drive, directly next door to FPS. “Like FPS, we serve a broad variety of needs in the county and it made sense to join forces and greet the community that we share in common given the work that both of our organizations do,” Newton said.

FPS is a private human service agency providing mental health services to adults and children of Polk County for more than five years. As part of

the Providence Service Corporation, with offices nationwide and in parts of Canada, FPS serves North Carolina with 11 offices across the state. Based on the belief that all individuals, families and communities have strengths, FPS develops and facilitates programs intended to produce healthy, contributing individuals and families within safe and healthy communities. Since 1997, they have adapted and expanded their services to respond to the needs of adults, children and families through education, resources, counseling, advocacy and support services.

Outreach, also a private, nonprofit agency operating in Polk County, provides a broad variety of services to county residents living with crisis and long-term poverty. Outreach’s mission is to provide compassionate assistance to Polk County residents who do not have the resources to provide for their basic life needs.

Snacks will be served and staff from both organizations will be on hand to answer questions, give tours and meet with community members. For more information, please contact Family Preservation Services of N.C. at 828-8942290 or Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry at 828-894-2988.

has a lot of cleaning and other work to do, such as removing large tanks and a metal building to make room for parking, but he thinks it can be ready sometime this year.

The property includes 4.58 acres and was purchased for $45,000, according to the Polk County Register of Deeds’ excise tax of $90.

The building formerly housed a dye plant, which closed down in 2008. The plant was originally constructed as a hosiery mill in the late 1800s.

He said his ideas are just his ideas and he welcomes people to come in with any and all ideas for the spaces. He said there’s plenty of traffic in the area and the property overlooks the Pacolet River, so he sees lots of potential for retail spaces there.

The Town of Tryon, which zones the area in its township, has already rezoned the property to be able to have retail services there. Thomas said he

life, 110 percent.”

Linder himself was diagnosed with a brain tumor just before filming started last fall. Committed to their leading man, the Whites decided to shoot in Linder’s Tryon home for seven consecutive days.

The cast and crew waited each day to shoot scenes when Linder returned from radiation treatments at the Gibbs Cancer Center in Spartanburg, S.C. The premise of “Get Better” focuses on a week in the life of Ellie Alexander (Marisa Viola) and her chronically ill father, Roy (Robert Linder). Filmmakers wanted to show how Ellie went about balancing her life and the hefty demands of her job, all while taking care of her dying father. Life never stops, so the movie also throws in the complication of an on-again, off-again romance with Mike Smith (played

by Chris White) and a visit from Pam Stuart, Ellie’s childhood friend.

Stuart travels from New York to document Roy’s life and ends up exposing the wounds caused by his disease.

“With an undiagnosed disease, especially one that has neurological symptoms, the shame multiplies exponentially. You get told to buck up. To quit faking it,” said filmmaker Emily Reach White. “That shame is the reason I’m interested in stories about sickness. I had to know. When did we stop listening to the sick? When did we start blaming the sick for their sicknesses?”

Linder said it was he who of-

fered the idea of filming on days directly after his treatments. He said doing so made him stronger.

“Could there be a greater journey in the making of a film than ‘Get Better?’” Linder said. “Life imitates art? Art imitates life? The good news is that the director was with me, we made that film and I am proud of it.”

And the movie was made well below Hollywood standard costs.

Without sacrificing stunning images and quality acting, Chris White said they were able to produce the movie for $10,000.

“There has never been another moment in cinema like the one in which we are presently living. Even as the big movies get bigger, it is now possible for the small movies to get better,” said Chris White.

Chris said three technological advances allowed making a film like “Get Better” possible. Those include the ubiquity of social media to raise funds, availability of DSLR High Definition (HD) photography and the rise of widespread Internetbased media distribution.

The film will be screened Monday, June 18 at 7 p.m., but much of the cast and crew will arrive at 6:30 p.m. in red carpet style. After the screening of the feature-length movie, they will be on hand to answer questions from the audience. Tickets will be available at the door, but advance tickets are recommended by visiting www.

GetBetterTheMovie.com.

“Get Better” is presented by the Tryon Film Society in partnership with Paris MTN Scout, an Internetbased film distribution company based in Greenville, S.C.

Brandon Cody-Lee Case, 23, was charged with the murder of Joshua William Lindsay, also of Saluda, who was found dead in February.

Case was arrested on Feb. 25 after investigators found Lindsay dead at his 2643 Macedonia Road home on Feb. 22. Investigators said they responded to a report that Lindsay died of a selfinflicted gunshot wound, but after conflicting statements were heard and evidence was collected, Case was charged with the murder.

Preliminary autopsy results determined that Lindsay’s death was homicide and that he died as a result of a large-caliber, nonexiting gunshot wound to the face and neck.

Case’s next court date is scheduled for June 25 in Henderson County Court.

Will you help Save Morris? See page 11 for the latest ransom note.

Bulletin gets letter from Morris Editor’s note: The Bulletin this week received the following letter from Morris, asking community members to help rescue him.

First of all, they don’t know I can hear them talking but, I overheard them say if enough money is raised, not only will I get to go home, but when they are finished with me, I will look brand spanking new!

They told me to put on my thinking cap and figure out how to raise my own ransom. So, my one phone call was to my dear friend Betty Burdue, who loves to draw

pictures of me. She then called her friend Steve McKinsey and he suggested a wonderful poster should be drawn of me, then sold to help raise my ransom.

My one letter is this very plea to my friends at the Tryon Daily Bulletin. Please Tryon, and all of our neighbors, help me get home…. purchase the ransom poster, please!

P.S.… I’ve been eating the very best hay and drinking ice cold water… but I really miss my home!

Your loyal friend, Morris

Hal Simms

Harold Alfred Simms III (Hal), born May 11, 1934, died on June 9, 2012 at the Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum.

Born in Chicago, he grew up a block from the ocean in Redondo Beach, Calif. and spent summers with grandparents in Lafayette, La. Water was his lifelong love. He built and sailed his first boat at 13, learned to fly at 16 and developed a passion for weather. A degree in chemical engineering from LSU took him to work for Dow Chemical and

later to his own design and engineering of water systems in his companies, Gulf South Environmental Engineering Ltd. and Simms Engineering.

In 1979 he took his family to sail full time for a year on the “Wand’rin Star,” and then continued to live on board and sail on his own “Wand’rin Star II” for as long as he was able.

In his last years he contributed to improved water worldwide through Water Missions International (www.watermissionsinternational.org).

The deepest loves of his life were his daughter, Victoria Rene’, and son, Harold Alfred Simms IV (Chip). Their mother, his friend, Irene Simms,

lives in Twisp, Wash. Victoria has homes in Villa Rica, Ga. and Twisp, Wash. and works on ships in various seas around the world, presently with her sweetheart of four years, Paul Schroeder. Chip lives in Sebastapol, Calif. with Diana and their 12-year-old sons, Cooper and Tristan. Hal’s sister, Nancy Springhorn, as well as her children, William Springhorn Jr. and Polly Springhorn, live in the Bay area of California. His sister Barbara Simms lives in Santa Ana, Calif. Her children are: niece, Stephanie Ciarelli, and nephews, Mike and Steve Searles. His sister Mary Lou Simms lives in Westminster, Calif. His brother, David, and

Leslie Keig live in Eureka, Calif.

Hal has known and lived with another love of his life, Linda Page Hudgins, of Tryon since 1999. His friends and family knew him as powerful of mind, body and will, funloving, straightforward and true.

He often quoted his father, “If you’ve got something to do in life, better get out there and do it.” He did.

A celebration of his life will held at a later date.

Landrum High School 2011 salutatorian gives speech Editor’s note: Landrum High School 2012 salutatorian Rosaruth Farrah Parton gave the following speech at the school’s graduation ceremony held Thursday, May 24.

In life people sometimes fail to grasp the concept of just how limited our time is in life. It seems like just yesterday that we were walking down the halls of our elementary school and had literally no idea what we wanted

to do with the rest of our lives.

Later we moved on to middle school and we still didn’t know what we were fully capable of.

Then, came that big change of moving up to the high school.

In just four short years, we as a class were able to accomplish so many great things. From academic achievements to sports championships, we accomplished it all.

We had some good times and bad but we were always there to help each other get through anything.

Just like our theme for our yearbook, “In a flash,” high school is over. But I stand here before you to tell you that we did it. We are finally going to graduate. All of the tests, projects, presentations and papers, it all paid off. We are finally going to reach this great milestone in our life. We need to cherish this moment because this might be the last time that all of us are here together.

As you begin the next chapter of your life, whether it’s college,

the military or going to work, strive to do your best just like we have for the past four years. Live life to the fullest and seize every opportunity that may arise.

Like Edward Bulwer Lytton once said, “To find what you seek in the road of life, the best proverb of all is that which says: ‘Leave no stone unturned.’” You have dreams and goals that you have set for yourself and never (Continued on page 16)

let anyone or anything get in the way of you achieving those goals.

Live your own life; never try to be someone else, or something that you are not. Be original, be yourself. Life is going to be hard but if you take the knowledge that you have learned in school and put it to good use you will prosper and be successful in whatever you do.

Life will seem to fly by so make it a goal to make the most out of every opportunity and situation that you may find yourself in.

If not for some very important people it is possible that we might not be here today. I would like to thank Mr. Sherman, all the staff and teachers, all of our coaches and our friends. If not for the support and care from these people it would have been very difficult for us to achieve this great milestone in our life. Lastly, I would like to thank the most important people of all: our parents. You were the

ones that were there for us to help us through anything. When we were sick or were going through some hard times, when we felt like school just wasn’t going good at all, our parents were there for us. I would like to say thank you to all the parents for that because you are the main reason that we are here today and achieve this great accomplishment.

I would like to leave you with this quote from Steve Jobs: “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.

And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

Thank you for your attention, and congratulations to the class of 2012.

Polk County High School 2011 salutatorian gives speech Editor’s note: Polk County High School 2012 salutatorian Cole Pellatt gave the following speech at the school’s graduation ceremony held Friday, June 8.

So here we are.

High school is over.

Never again will we come up that same old driveway and enter those same old doors as students of Polk County High School. Never again will we hear someone ask, “How was school today?” not knowing that we don’t care how it was, we were just happy to get out of there alive each day.

That’s a bit of an exaggeration, but everyone did face some rough patches at one point or another.

Like our slightly under par senior prank or how my friends still harass me about holding the “unofficial” school record for accidentally scoring the most goals against my own soccer team this

past season. But I know now that that good-natured teasing is something I will always remember fondly. Because if you stop and think about it, all of what you have experienced in life, the good and the bad, are what make you who you are today.

Without all the high points and without all the embarrassing moments, you would not be the person you are. Class of 2012, you might not be sitting in those seats waiting to hear your names announced as graduates of Polk County High School.

Yes, we did all face some rough times in high school, but that’s just part of growing up and facing each of our own impending adulthoods. We are all standing at the starting line of the rest of our lives, some of us perched in the blocks ready to take off, others still tightening our laces, taking our time, making

sure we take in all of the childhood we have left. It’s not much, and what’s already passed has gone more quickly than we ever imagined it would. I feel like I’ve been in a daze since high school started. The time has flown by so quickly.

Whenever I look back to my freshman yearbook, I can hardly believe the little boy with a mop of bushy hair, who waited way too long to start shaving his face, has grown into the man who stands before you today. We’ve all developed as people more in these past four years than at any other point in our lives. We’ve had tastes of independence that have been tiny samples of how much responsibility the rest of our lives will demand of us. But we’ve also seen how the futures each of us face will be rewarding, fulfilling and the most fun any of us has ever experienced.

All these people here supporting us in this first major step in our lives will always support us just as strongly as they do today. The school that stands there behind us, will forever stand behind us as a testament to the great things we have already accomplished, and to how well it has prepared us to face all the other great challenges life will throw at us.

And just as the class of 2012 now prepares to stand together one last time to face this one last hurdle, we will each find new groups of people who will also stand together with us to face the rest of life’s challenges. For some of us, those groups may be mostly made up of the same people who stand together today.

But we cannot expect to linger in this moment. Life is always (Continued on page 18)

Four rare wolf pups have been born in Western North Carolina.

The two male and two female red wolf pups were born recently at the Western North Carolina Nature Center, increasing the number of red wolves at the center to seven.

Officials said they think there are fewer than 400 red wolves left in the world, so the Asheville center is now home to about two percent of the population.

May, a 3-year-old female at the center, gave birth to the pups on May 9. Phoenix, the father, was brought in from a nature center in Albany, Ga. The pups were not named because they may not stay at the Asheville center.

The new pups are part of the Red Wolf Species Survival Program, started in the early 1970s. The program is the result of a partnership between the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which tracks the red wolves and recommends which wolves should breed to increase the population.

Learn water safety tips this summer, you can never be too careful Each year, around this time, I present this as part of my column, because as warmer weather arrives, more people participate in aquatic activities like swimming, skiing, fishing and boating.

As a WSI (water safety instructor) for the American Red Cross, I have certified lifeguards, taught water safety to the Marines, taught swimming and run large pool facilities,so the subject of water safety is an area I'm very familiar with.

Statistically, in the United States, 50 percent of all those who drown each year, never intended to get in the water in the first place. Also, nearly 1000 children drown each year.

It’s absolutely crucial to learn how to keep you and your family safe in and around water. We call this “water proofing.”

Children need constant supervision. Did you know young children can drown in just 2 inches of water? This means that extreme care should be taken not just in swimming pools, but also in bath tubs, sinks, wading pools, fountains, toilets, buckets, even ditches filled with rain water.

I once had to jump off a second story balcony to rescue a 5-year-old who’s mother took her eyes off him for just a few seconds.

Make sure you teach your kids to swim early on. Even children over one year should learn.

Make sure your kids are taught by qualified instructors. Infants and small children should have an adult within arms reach. This is called “touch supervision.”

Make sure your kids have Coast Guard-approved flotation devices like life vests on whenever they are near water. Make sure the vest has a strap that fits down between the legs, and has a collar to keep the child's head up, and his face out of the water.

All swimmers regardless of age or skill level should swim with a buddy, whether you're in a lake or a pool. There have been many good swimmers...even

Top senior-friendly cellphones To place a classified call 828-859-9151. www.tryondailybulletin.com

Dear Savvy Senior What types of simple cellphones can you recommend to seniors that are easy to use, without all the bells and whistles?

My 77-year-old mother has had a cell phone for two years but never uses it because she finds it too confusing.

– Shopping for mom Dear Shopping, While smartphones garner most of the attention in the mobile phone world today, there are still a number of companies that offer simplified cellphones that are specifically designed for boomers and seniors who want one for the primary purpose of making and receiving calls.

Here are some top options to consider.

Senior-friendly phones Created by GreatCall nearly six years ago, the Jitterbug (greatcall.com, 800-733-6632) continues to be the best seniorfriendly cellphone on the market. This custom designed Samsung flip-phone offers a big numerical keypad that lights up, extra-large text on a brightly colored screen, and “YES” and “NO” buttons to access the phone’s options versus confusing icons.

It also offers voice dialing, an ear cushion that cups around your ear to improve sound quality, a powerful speakerphone, a 24-hour Jitterbug operator who can place calls for you, and optional features like voicemail, texting, medication reminders, 5Star personal security service, a live nurse service to answer your health questions any time, night or day, and more. The Jitterbug J sells for $99 with a one-time $35 activation fee, nocontract, and calling plans that start at $15 per month.

If you’re looking for something a little less expensive, the Doro PhoneEasy 410 sold through Consumer Cellular

(consumercellular.com, 888345-5509) is also an excellent option. This flip phone offers a large separated keypad, with a bright easy-to-read color display screen and huge text. Other features include a vibrating ringer, easy text messaging, a two-way speakerphone, and a one-touch emergency SOS button on the back of the phone to contact help when needed.

The Doro 410 sells for $25 with service plans starting at $10 per month, a one-time $35 activation fee, and no long-term contract. They even give a 5 percent monthly service discount to AARP members.

Two other senior-friendly phones to check out are the Just 5 (just5.com, 800-709-0509) that costs $90, and the new Clarity Pal (clarityproducts.com, 800-426-3738) for $100. Both of these cellphones have big buttons, amplified sound, a “talk back” feature that speak the numbers as their dialed, an “SOS” button that can automatically call your emergency contacts if needed, and they’re both sold as “unlocked” phones, which means they can be used on any GSM network like AT&T and T-Mobile.

Savvy Senior

Shared plan options Another option you might want to consider is to get your mom a simple cellphone through your cellphone provider. Most carriers – including AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile – still offer basic cell phones for people who like things simple.

This option is also very affordable. An extra line can be added to your family shared plan for around $10 per month, and the cost for these phones is very low. Here are some of the best basic cellphones that are recommended by the different carriers.

If you’re an AT&T customer, the Pantech Breeze III, which (Continued on page 23)

During the five days of classes parents with newborns, toddlers and children 4-7 years old can participate in Kindermusik activities – jingling bells, pounding drums, floating scarves, “hooting” owl sounds and moving little feet in time to music – for a learning experience for both the child and the parent or caregiver.

Young children ages 5-8, a n d 4 - y e a r- o l d s w i t h t h e i r parents, will explore more about animals and things up in the sky creating art projects during the art class.

you'll float much easier.

If you tense up, you'll tend to sink. Also, if you panic, you will run out of air faster. If you find yourself in a current, swim with the current and gradually try to make it back to shore.

One other condition I would like to mention, is something some people have never even heard of. It's called “dry drowning.”

Dry drowning occurs when a person's lungs are unable to take in oxygen, due to breathing in a very small amount of water.

While the water prevents the lungs from oxygenating the blood, the heart does not slow down, so the person can still walk and talk, but then later die from lack of oxygen.

Sometimes in dry drowning, the larynx goes into spasms.

This is called a laryngospasm.

While each class is offered as an individual experience, T FA C E d u c a t i o n D i r e c t o r Marianne Carruth said, “I strongly believe that combining the art class with the Kindermusik class offers a deeper world of discovery and adventure.

Children can experience the thematic ideas introduced in Kindermusik through another means of self-expression. In every class, you’ll witness your child’s developmental evolution in the arts, and it happens within a nurturing environment – full of energy and play.”

Classes will be held in studio A and studio B at Tryon Fine Arts Center from 10-10:40 a.m. and 10:45-11:30 a.m.

Registration and more information are available at www.tryonarts.org or by calling Tryon Fine Arts Center at 828-859-8322.

This also deprives the victim of oxygen. A sudden change in a person's mood, or personality, energy level, agitation, sleepiness, vomiting, involuntary defecation or extreme lethargy may be a sign of oxygen deprivation.

If any of these signs are observed get medical help immediately.

Stevie’s story as I see it So many caring people have been involved in the story of “Stevie,” the yellow lab who traveled Tryon for a few months.

Though I have been involved from the beginning, I have left the telling of her tale to others who were closer to the problem.

I am privy to her whole story but unfortunately it’s far too common to relate.

I instead will tell it as I see it.

All the time Stevie was out there roaming about, countless people (myself included) tried to coax her into their cars so she could be brought to safety. Many fed and cared for her and a few took special interest.

She was on so many people’s minds that not a day went by without a sighting or a story being told of her. Fear of her being hit by a car (she was grazed once or twice) stayed on all of our minds. Her welfare became everyone’s concern and I heard dozens of solutions on

stroked her, while talking to her softly. One again she turned her head as if I wasn’t there.

Smiling to myself, I spun around getting ready to call it a day with Stevie. All of a sudden I felt her head nudging my hand from behind me.

The gesture nearly brought me to tears and for five more minutes I quietly stroked her as neither one of us looked at each other.

The next day before getting to my duties, I went over to see how Stevie was doing. Upon seeing me she began to walk outside.

“No time for that today girl, I’ve just come to say hello.” With that she turned around, looked up at me and wagged her tail. “This is going to be fun,” I thought to myself.

Later that day I found out Stevie was going to a foster home, which I agreed was without a doubt the best thing for her. I paid her one last visit and this time I took a leash with me.

She reluctantly came with me because she still had trust issues, which I thoroughly understood. I (Continued on page 27)

only took her a short distance and then we just sat quietly for a while.

When I brought her back I gave her a few treats and promised I’d come and visit as soon as she settled in.

A week later I visited Stevie at Cynthia Norden’s home. She and her family have eight other rescue dogs of all sizes and ages plus four barn cats. Besides FHS, these animals have been rescued from all over and have a myriad of illnesses,

but at this home and farm they are all doing wonderfully. Stevie fits right in the pack and nearly all of her shyness is gone. Lani has continued visiting and it’s pretty clear she’s Stevie’s favorite. Oh well, I couldn’t come in second to a nicer person.

As I sat and received attention from all the other dogs, Stevie saw what was happening and worked her way in for her share.

There has been great fanfare about Susan Boyle, the plain British lady with the angelic voice. I’ve

recognized a similarity between Miss Boyle and our Stevie and I pray I have the words to explain what I feel. The beauty of Susan Boyle’s voice is undeniable but the haunting words within the ballad she sings is where I make the connection.

“I dreamed a dream in time gone by, when hope was high and life worth living.”

Susan Boyle’s great talent and inner beauty will bring that dream to life. Somewhere in Stevie’s past hope was high and her life worth living. Through no fault of her own these things have changed and though she became shy and elusive her inner beauty remained.

Because of all the people Stevie has touched she will once again dream that dream and her life will be worth living.

Beyond that, I have looked into her eyes and glimpsed her soul. I’m here to tell you, in her own way our girl too can sing.

Oh, how she can sing! Thanks for listening.

The cast of “Seussical, the Musical,” the summer youth production of Tryon Little Theather and the Tryon Youth Center. (photo submitted by Kelly Marshall)

A15 Friday, June 15, 2012 Tryon Daily Bulletin / The World’s Smallest Daily Newspaper

Tryon Little Theater announces cast for ‘Seussical, the Musical’ Oh, the places you’ll go and the thinks you will think as you follow the adventures of the mischievous Cat in the Hat through Whoville and the Jungle of Nool in “Seussical, the Musical,” the summer youth production of Tryon Little Theater (TLT) and the Tryon Youth Center.

In “Seussical,” the beloved stories of Dr. Seuss come together in unexpected ways, and TLT officials said this summer’s musical has also taken unexpected turns. “Seussical” was to be directed by Anna-Marie Keuther, but she has injured her back and requires surgery this month.

“We are sad to lose her,” TLT officials said, “but we are thrilled to announce that Jenna Tammisiea will be stepping up to direct instead.”

Tammisiea is the co-founder and artistic director of Greenville Light Opera Works, has directed 15 shows, including opera, adult musical theater and youth musical theater, and has served as a teacher for several theater programs in the area.

Many of the famous Seuss characters meet for the first time through the course of this musical. Some fall in love, some have desperate adventures and some save the world.

The Cat in the Hat, played

by Matthew Alexander, stirs up trouble and then sets things right again as he helps JoJo from Whoville, played by Alex Harrelson, discover the power of his imagination.

Horton the Elephant, (Tij D’Oyen) befriends Gertrude McFuzz (Alexa Hughes) and Mayzie La Bird (Katie Shanahan).

He also encounters the Sour Kangaroo (Chelsea McCoyle) and the Young Kangaroo (Alexia Farrell), General Gengus Kahn Schmitz (Eli Jenkins), the Wickersham Brothers (Jerreth

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq. Is there a way I can tell my children?

Q. Is there a way I can tell my

children some personal things outside of my estate plan?

A. Yes, we have had clients be very creative in the ways they choose to communicate with their loved ones after they are gone. My own uncle left a very touching and inspirational letter to each of his sons. I have had clients leave detailed letters outlining their wishes for future generations, their values and philosophy of life. Several have even videotaped their messages to children and grandchildren.

Many of these messages have been quite well done and much appreciated by the recipients.

When I first came to town, the boys were small and spent time here at my house with my own small son: I would give Jared glass rocks and tell him that if he'd wish upon them in the moonlight, his dreams would be captured in the glass - they were magic!
