by Lorrie Rickman Last year’s rabies cases were the first since Feb. 26, 2010 when a fox attacked two adults in Columbus.

Fox, coyote, skunk, opossum and raccoons are high carriers of the rabies disease and people should try to avoid contact with these animals.

Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain and is fatal if not treated. Rabies symptoms include malaise, headache and fever that progress into pain, violent movement and uncontrolled excitement, depression and hydrophobia.

Lanier Library’s Brown Bag Lunch with Bonnie Bardos Sept. 18 It is said there are two types of people, Gatherers and Hunters (Defending the Caveman), and when the Gatherer is an inspired artist one gets a creative display of their life’s mementoes and art. Lanier Library’s Brown Bag Lunch crowd was very fortunate to have such a guest. Bonnie Joy Bardos, of Saluda, shared much of her life’s story through her paintings, her sticks, her stones, sculptures, pictures, gifts and her tales.

Bardos found her love of art early in life, age two, when her mother noticed how the walls in the house now served as her easel.

Her joys of gathering began then

because, as a child, her parents moved a lot and she needed to save those places. She feels that a significant event in one’s life gives one the opportunity to create change. She says 9/11 was her most inspiring event. It created a change in life for her, and centered her on being a focused artist. It gave her the chance to take something “bad” and make something “good” out of it. This became a mantra for her.

She has three rules for daily living which should be respected by all: 1. Keep fresh flowers in the house.

2. Keep good chocolate in the house (along with coffee in the morning), 3. And, always be reading a good book.

Bardos’s web site, bonniebardosart.com, does her far better justice than this short article.

Come join us at our next Brown Bag Lunch at Lanier Library on Tuesday, Sept. 18 at noon. Rose Senehi, author, will return to review her new book, Render Unto the Valley. The program is free and everyone is welcome.

Lanier Library is now accepting new members, www.lanierlib.org - article submitted

and was more than pleased with the love and proper care he was receiving from this nice man and as a bonus Lazarus became fast friends with his own little pooch, Shadow.

Three weeks later, I met with Tracy and another friend and we drove Lazarus back Upstate for a follow up visit and had his bandage removed. Dr. Allen assured us he was healing beautifully and gave further instructions as to his care. We then set up two more follow-up visits at monthly intervals to make sure Lazarus was healing properly but must bring him back immediately if anything went wrong. Tracy assured me that she would handle it.

A few weeks later Tracy called me and said she’d received a few hundred dollars. I thanked her and said it would go a long way in helping other animals and that was the last I’ve heard from her. Last month Lazarus’ follow up visit

came and went and still no word from Tracy. I went to Landrum vet just to be sure if they had any word on Lazarus. Dr. Raines said they haven’t heard from Tracy nor was there any word on Lazarus from Dr. Allen, who would have called with an update.

I drove over to Joe’s house to visit Lazarus and ask if he had heard from Tracy.

“Not for two months Lennie, I think she’s back with her old crowd.” I didn’t know what that meant, I only knew she’d pretty much abandoned Lazarus. The little pup was growing and looked absolutely wonderful. My visit was heartwarming and it was a joy to wrap my arms around him as he peppered my face with sugar. The love and trust Lazarus showed toward Joe was unmistakable.

“Joe,” I said, “I have to take Lazarus back to Upstate for a check up, Dr. Raines promised she’d do it for me when she takes her dog in a few weeks. At that time, with your permission, I’d

Even before Joe answered, the smile on his face told me all I needed to know. In the long run Lazarus will end up exactly where he belongs because he’s

not only loved, he’s watched over and cared for.

I haven’t any doubt that the same will hold true for little Roscoe because Fran, like Joe, understands that though love is important, it is simply not enough.

Thanks for listening.

The Cardinal defense makes a tackle against Walhalla last Friday night. The Landrum defense will need to keep Polk County from controlling the clock tonight at Polk County. Landrum and Polk County play at 7:30 p.m. tonight. (photo by Joey Millwood)

Landrum looks to explosive offense against Polk tonight

by Joey Millwood

Last season, Landrum got the monkey off its back of sorts.

The Cardinals beat Polk County 34-26, snapping an eight-game losing streak. The win catapulted the Cardinals to one of its more successful seasons in the history of the program.

With that said, the Cardinals expect that the Little Big House will be rocking on tonight. Polk will be itching to start a new winning streak.

“We are expecting a stadium full of fans like we had last

year,” Landrum coach Russell Mahaffey said. “It’s always a great football atmosphere.”

A big factor in this game will be how much time each offense is on the field, Mahaffey said. A key for the Cardinals will be getting their defense off of the field.

“We’re going to have to keep them from controlling the football,” Mahaffey said. “We need to give our offense plenty of time with the ball.”

Last week, the Cardinals offense looked like it finally found its rhythm. The Cardinals at-

tacked Walhalla with speed and precision that showed flashes of the dominant force that pushed them to last year’s success.

“We’re excited about the explosive way we played offense last week,” Mahaffey said. “We hope to continue that. We also hope to get more of our athletes involved this week.”

The Cardinals have been ravaged by injuries and a stomach bug. Peyton McCarter has yet to step onto the field healthy this season. The senior receiver is an instrumental part of the

Cardinal offense. Also, starting center Matt Pace was missing last week. Defensively, one the Cardinals best tacklers Gavin Bishop has yet to suit up.

No matter what, however, the atmosphere on Friday night should be a positive that helps Landrum going forward, Mahaffey said.

“I think it helps our team,” he said. “We look forward to the fans and the excitement.”

A new chapter of the rivalry begins tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Polk County.

Polk Wolverines look to rebound in rivalry game tonight

by Fulton Hampton

When one begins to talk about football and the upcoming season the term rivalry eventually comes up. Rivalries are a huge part of football. Who is going to hold the bragging rights for the next year? Who has the advantage this year? In this area, at the college level, we always have the South Carolina and Clemson game to look forward to late in the season.

Michigan vs. Michigan State …. countless others that fans wait for typically in the latter part of the year.

Fortunately, on the high school level we don’t have to wait very long. Two local cross town teams with the added inter-state element thrown in makes for the classic rivalry. When the Landrum Cardinals visit the Polk Wolverines this Friday at 7:30 p.m., it will definitely be “Game On.” With Landrum winning last

year for the first time in a several years, and both teams coming off disappointing losses last week, the setting could not be any better for an exciting game. It is often said about games like this “If you can’t get up for this one you’re probably in the wrong place or the wrong sport.”

Polk Coach Bruce Ollis commented, “This is a game that kind of takes on a life of its own.

It’s THE game in this area, our fans, community and players are excited about it. It gives you bragging rights for a year and the Wolverines would like to get back to where we can brag

again.” Referring to the loss to Landrum last year Ollis added; “That certainly has renewed the rivalry, no doubt about that. The place will be packed out, there will be a lot of royal blue and red on opposite sides of the field… it’s a great high school rivalry and we look forward to it.”

Foothills Music Club features pianist Chenny Gan in concert, Sept. 9 Chenny Gan will present a piano concert on Sunday, September 9 at 3 p.m., at Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Tryon. Her performance is the beginning of a 16-month celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Foothills Music Club. This concert event will honor the music club’s founder, Lesley Oakes, and is a benefit to raise money for the club’s scholarship fund. Over the years, scholarships totaling more than $36,000 have been awarded to young musicians in Polk and Rutherford Counties, Landrum, and the surrounding area. Admission to the concert is $10 for adults and $5 for students, payable at the door.

Gan, celebrated for her virtuosity and adventurous playing, regularly appears in performance and teaching engagements on three continents, including cities in China, Canada, Austria, Germany and the United States. She was born in the city of Nanning in Guangxi

Province, China, and immigrated to the United States at the age of 8. She graduated with double bachelor’s degrees in music and studio art, from Wesleyan College, Macon, Ga. and then went on to complete two masters of music degrees at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro — one in piano performance and the other in piano accompanying. In 2009 she was awarded the doctor of musical arts in piano performance from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

Currently, Dr. Gan travels frequently between Germany, China and the U.S., choosing to make Trostberg, Germany, her permanent home, which she shares with her husband. As a musician and artist, Gan strives to explore new territories in all areas of performing, intensely focused on making the concert experience more enlightening and interactive for the audience. She loves to col-

laborate with other musicians in various styles and genres of music, including jazz, free improvisation, classical, and pop, often performing music in unlikely settings and combinations. Her work mentoring young musicians has brought

success in places as diverse as the inner city neighborhoods of Los Angeles to New York’s Carnegie Hall and the Mozarteum Conservatory in Salzburg.

Turkey and Canada.

He has won numerous awards in his brief years at prestigious competitions across the world, including his recent Gold Metal prize in the 2011 XIV International Tchaikovsky Competition. During this past 2011-2012 season he has performed as a soloist and with orchestras including the Chicago Symphony, London Symphony, Marlinsky Orchestra, the Boston Pops, and at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall and the Kennedy Center.

Following his appearance at the Kennedy Center the Washington Post hailed him as a “seasoned phenom.” The Post spoke of his “powerful and colorful sound” ... and his performance virtuosity with “insolent ease.”

Participants live as far away as California and of course as close as across the road from Tryon Youth Center.

Each year a set number of

tickets must be sold in order to have the drawing. This number depends on the value of the car.

This year the number is 300, although for the raffle to be truly successful, the number needs to be closer to the goal of 500.

The drawing will be Sept. 15, 2 p.m. at Tryon Youth Center.

St. John’s second annual Italian Festival Sept. 8 St. John the Baptist Catholic Church is ready to announce the Second Annual Italian Feast.

Following a very successful first event in 2011. Enjoy authentic Italian foods, music, games, merchandise sales, wine tasting and search for the hidden Topo Gigio, the Church Mouse Mascot.

Admission is free, park nearby and take a free trolley ride right to the church grounds, located at 180 Laurel Ave, Tryon, where the Feast will take place.

Tours of the church, including a church history, will be given at the event, complete with the Schola Choir singing ancient Gregorian chants. The menu for the event includes Italian dishes like wood-fired pizza, sausage with peppers and onions on fresh crusty ciabatta rolls, mega meatballs, pasta and marinara, Italian sodas, gelato, pizza fritte (fried pizza dough, sweetened with

cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar) other homemade dessert delicacies of biscotti, tiramisu and more, and of course beer and wine.

All foods and beverages will be cash sales. The church consists of shaded terraces to sit and eat, next to the gardens and granite paved plazas.

Italian music will fill the air to go along with the smells and sights of foods. In adjacent parking lot areas, there will be timehonored Italian music, dancing, many games and prizes.

There will also be merchandise on sale along with traditional Catholic items. Games include basket ball free throw, corn hole toss and for the younger children, the sea of galilee fishing for prizes and more.

To kick off the feast, the evening before at sunset, a traditional Catholic Procession will again

take place on the main streets of Tryon. It will include altar boys carrying incense and torches, a traditional decorated donkey cart bearing a statue of St. John the Baptist, the Church’s patron saint, banners, and several hundred parishioners and clergy will be holding candles and chanting reverently. The purpose is to bring awareness to the church and provide an opportunity for those who may have never seen a Catholic Procession.

The Procession will end at the church, followed by music, dessert and refreshments. All are welcome to join in.

For more information call the church at 828-859-9574, or call Janet Sciacca at 864-457-6530.

Ardiene Carol Tilly, 82, of Tryon died Thursday, Sept. 6 at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum.

She was born Dec. 18, 1929 in Milwaukee, Wisc., the daughter of John and Lillian Lang. She was the first in her family and one of the first in her Milwaukee community of friends and neighbors to attend college; many in the community contributed funds to help her achieve her educational goals. She graduated from Elmhurst College in Elmhurst, Ill. with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics.

Ardiene married Laurence J. Tilly just after college, and they had five children. She was proud of having moved 40 times in her life, living in Stanford, Calif., Jamestown, N.D., Iowa City, Ia., Washington, D.C. and many other places before eventually settling in Aiken, S.C. She taught math and adult education classes in Washington, D.C. and Aiken County, S.C. public schools and at the University of South Carolina at Aiken, retiring in 1992. A dedicated teacher whose interest in students went far beyond the classroom, she coached math competition teams, led a backpacking club and decorated for many proms and other special events. Even now, her children meet former students who remember her fondly.

Ardiene loved family gettogethers, especially when they involved water, boats and/or camping. She instilled in her children and students an appreciation of the outdoors and a love of adventure. She once spent an entire summer tent camping all along the coast from South Carolina to

Friday, September 7, 2012

the Florida Keys and back, alone with five young children, an experience her children remember as one of the best in their lives.

Ardiene moved to the Tryon area in 1999. She was active in the Polk County Democratic Party and volunteered with Meals on Wheels.

She is survived by three daughters, Diane T. Davidson (John) of Duluth, Minn. and St. Louis, Mo., Barbara Tilly of Tryon and Carol T. Hand (Dr. Gregory) of Columbia, S.C.; two sons, David Tilly (Amy) of Spruce Pine, N.C. and Randy Tilly of Hilton Head, S.C.; eight grandchildren, Linnie D. Dean (William) of St. Louis, Mo., Anne Davidson of Chicago, Ill., Tradd Davidson of Manchester, N.H., Malia Ferguson of Marietta, Ga., Jamie Ferguson of Los Angeles, Calif., Kyle Tilly (Laura) of Gastonia, N.C. and Alyssa Tilly and Anya Tilly, both of Spruce Pine, N.C. She is also survived by four great-grandchildren, Savannah Jean, Harper Anne, Zoe Marie and Faolin James, and numerous nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by a sister, Audrey Betty Lang Gaffrey Bullock.

The family thanks the staff at White Oak Manor - Tryon for their years of compassionate care and also expresses its gratitude to the staff at Hospice of the Carolina Foothills.

A Celebration of Life DropIn will be held Saturday, Sept. 8 from 2-4 p.m. in the Great Room at FENCE. For driving directions, visit www.fence.org. A family memorial service will be held the weekend of Oct. 13-14 on Hilton Head Island, S.C. Memorials may be made to the Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, P.O. Box 127, Landrum, S.C. 29356 or online at www. hocf.net or to the Foothills Music Club scholarship fund, P.O. Box 463, Lynn, N.C. 28750.
