Caston is board certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and is licensed in both North and South Carolina. He has an extensive knowledge and background in bio-chemistry, including presenting papers at international research conferences.

Dr. Caston has had his own private practice of psychiatry in the Spartanburg, S.C. area for 35 years, has been the medical director of a psychiatric unit at Mary Black Memorial Hospital for the past 13 years and is a senior psychiatrist of the Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System.

Dr. Caston said he is most

looking forward to working in a healing community again, as he did in partial hospital program earlier in his career.

Dr. Caston said his aim is to aid in CooperRiis’ efforts by helping its residents to manage their symptoms and their recovery with the optimal use of medications.

Medications “used quickly and properly,” he says, can ready a person for the host of other interventions offered in the CooperRiis Healing Community, from exercise to psychotherapy, improved nutrition and community work and service.

Dr. Caston is a member of the American Psychiatric Association, American Psychosomatic Society, Southern Medical Association,

American Medical Association, C.J. Jung Foundation, South Carolina Medical Association and Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine. He is a 1971 graduate of the Medical University of South Carolina where he did his internship and residency, and where he served as an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry from 1976 to 1986. He earned his bachelor’s degree at Clemson University.

Dr. Caston and his wife live in Spartanburg, S.C., near his family’s old peach farm. They have two children, one a family practitioner and the other a teacher, and for fun they take their pack of beagles to field trials.

CooperRiis is a Healing Community for individuals seeking to

Voting for ‘My Favorite President’ at Polk County History Museum The Polk County History Museum in Columbus gave visitors a unique opportunity this election year to vote for their favorite president of the past.

With a 1920s era wooden voting box used formerly in Polk County, visitors were asked to vote for their first and second choice past president. The ballet box was closed on Election Day at 1 p.m. so museum curator George Comparetto and wife, Judy, could tally the votes.

Election results from the 310 ballots were as follows: 1. Ronald Reagan 2. Franklin Roosevelt 3. Abraham Lincoln 4. George Washington 5. John F. Kennedy 6. George W. Bush 7. Thomas Jefferson (Tie)

7. Harry Truman (Tie) 8. Bill Clinton 9. Dwight Eisenhower 10. Teddy Roosevelt (Tie) 10. Jimmy Carter (Tie) 11. Andrew Jackson 12. Richard Nixon (Tie) 12. James K. Polk (Tie) 12. John Adams (Tie) There were no reported hanging chads or voting machine malfunctions reported. One person said they were voting for Johnson because the voter was a cousin of Lady Bird Johnson. Interestingly enough, the only president who made an official visit to Polk County, George H. W. Bush, scored low on votes. Senior Bush visited a home in Red Fox as vice-president under Reagan for a fundraising event. Calvin Coolidge also scored low; his wife Grace Coolidge was

Address of property: 157 Sylvan Ln, Mill Spring, NC 28756. Tax Parcel ID: P56-100 Present Record Owners: Gary B. Traver;

Elizabeth A. Traver. The terms of the sale are that the real property hereinbefore described will be sold for cash to the highest bidder. A deposit of five percent (5%) of the amount of the bid or Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00), whichever is greater, is required and must be tendered in the form of certified funds at the time of the sale. In the event that the Owner and Holder or its intended assignee is exempt from paying the same, the successful bidder shall be required to pay revenue stamps on the Trustee's Deed, and any Land Transfer Tax. The real property hereinabove described is being offered for sale "AS IS, WHERE IS" and will be sold subject to all superior liens, unpaid taxes, and special assessments. Other conditions will be announced at the sale. The sale will be held open for ten (10)

Tryon Painters and Sculptors student show at Bank of America Students of Lindsey Moore’s Inspired Drawing Class will showcase their work now through Nov. 30 at the Tryon branch of Bank of America.

The major theme of the student show is inspired by “Morris,” a giant painted horse created in honor of a pull toy built

by Tryon Toy Makers in 1916.

Standing in the center of town, Morris has been the town’s official mascot for more than 80 years, symbolizing Tryon’s love of horses and has most recently been awarded a historic marker.

Using Morris as a class study in tribute to his eventual return to his spot of honor in downtown Tryon, the students’ work focuses on basic design elements found in the construction of Morris (circles, cylinders, rectangles, rods, etc). Some of the students’ work is framed, some matted and some right out of their sketchbooks. Work is hung on large folding panels along

the side of the bank lobby.

Making time for gratitude more than once a year “In daily life we must see that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.” ~ Brother David Steindl-Rast at www.gratefulness.org.

November and, particularly, Thanksgiving are times we traditionally feel grateful for our family, friends and all the wonderful things we have.

Thinking about those things makes us feel happy, so why is it that we do so only once a year?

New research shows that counting our blessings more often can relieve anxiety, decrease depression, improve relationships and reduce symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

One study has shown that expressing our gratitude on a daily basis can improve happiness by 25 percent and will make us healthier to boot. If you doubt

this, give it a try right now. Put morning. the paper down and take the next According to Harvard Health few minutes to begin to list all the Publications, Positive Psycholthings for which you are grateful. ogy research shows gratitude is This works because it reminds associated with greater happius of the positive things in our ness, improved health and better lives, such as having a roof over ability to cope with adversity. our heads.

Consider what you do have.

Often people will bemoan what they don’t have like a new car or a more expensive home. It is easy to forget how fortunate we are and what an abundant world in which we live.

In closing, a recent study done

by Robert Emmons a psychology professor at the University of California – Davis shows that people who see gratitude as a permanent state of mind take better care of themselves, eat a healthier diet and exercise more frequently than most people.
