Group hopes to expand Foothills Quilt Trail into Polk by Samantha Hurst
Quilt patterns such as “Log Cabin” and “Carolina Lily” now grace the outside of buildings across Landrum as the beginnings of the Foothills Quilt Trail. Members of the Landrum Quilters launched this effort last year to place quilt blocks throughout town. Now other creative minds want to see if the trail could one day stretch through Polk and even Rutherford counties. “Each quilt block has a story that goes with it, so we are all really learning a lot about Landrum’s history,” said Ellen Henderson of the Landrum Quilters. “The stories that we are hearing are something really worth preserving and we can do that in a really unique way not only for Landrum but surrounding areas.” A collaborative group of individuals set off to Walhalla, S.C. Tuesday, Jan. 29 to learn more about the making of barn quilts
in hopes of generating ideas and understanding what it would take to expand on the Landrum Quilter’s effort. John Vining of the Polk County Cooperative Extension, Ellen Henderson of the Landrum Quilters, Susan Lester of the Rutherford Quilters, Stephen Bishop and Laura Brookshire of the Mill Spring Ag Center, Julie McIntyre of Tryon Arts and Crafts, Marjorie Womack of Quiet Quilters of Polk and Molly Dunn of the Landrum Area Business Association also made the trek. “They’re a great way to combine art, agriculture and heritage, and they’re becoming a popular form of agro-tourism,” said Brookshire. Dating back to the 1800s, barn quilts are quilt designs painted on boards and then mounted on a barn or other building. According to legend, many farmers hoped the designs would ward off evil spirits they believed caused lightning to

strike barns or livestock to fall sick. Eventually, specialized painters began showing up at farms offering to paint the designs, and the route of the painter could be traced throughout the countryside.
These days, two major quilts trails are already established nearby: The Upstate Heritage Quilt Trail based out of Walhalla, S.C., (Continued on page 4)

and Quilts Trails of western North Carolina based out of Burnsville, N.C. Both quilt trails have more than 100 quilt blocks to explore. Last year, the City of Landrum in partnership with the Landrum Quilters received a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation to start the Foothills Quilt Trail. Since receiving the grant, five barn quilts have been placed on buildings in Landrum, including the library and city hall. Dunn, president of the Landrum Area Business Association, said she thought it would be a great addition to the town. “There are already quilt tours and trails that exist and many peo-

ple make it part of their vacation to go view these quilt blocks,” Dunn said. “This will bring in a whole other level of interest in the town.” Henderson said she’s excited to know the town is just a week or so away from having Brannon Poore of J.B. Trees hang two new blocks in town. A 6x6 block called “Rays of Hope” will go up on Hospice Thrift Barn, funded by the Mary F. Kessler Fund, while the Landrum City Council has funded the “Carolina Lily” 3x3 block to go up at Brookwood Park. “By the middle of summer I hope we will have about 15 blocks up,” Henderson said. “We decided not to play it up too much until we get the blocks up and it is a real trail, but it is coming along nicely.”
Dunn said knowing more about the production of the quilts enhanced her excitement about being involved. “While we were there they were working on three squares for Landrum. It was so neat to know those particular ones were coming here,” Dunn said. “I wanted to be able to talk to people about this and to encourage them to not only participate in the project but to come and see the quilts.” Henderson said the possibilities of ways the area could benefit from the project are tremendous. Other trails sell T-shirts, postcards and other memorabilia associated with quilt blocks along their paths. As the Foothills Quilt Trail grows, Stephen Bishop said one of the goals is to consider starting a studio
provides the office space for the ranger. Rogers said today is the beginning of tree planting for landowners, which will continue for the next few months.
The local forest service office is staffed with Rogers and Eric Bradley, who is the seasonal smoke chaser. Bradley works approximately eight months of the year. The forest service also has four to five employees who help as needed, such as when fighting forest fires. Although the forest service’s main priority is fire control, Rogers is also charged with creating management plans and inspecting timber. Polk County has 152,200 total acres with 98,700 of those acres being forestland. Rogers said of the forestland, approximately 90,000 acres is owned by private landowners. The forest ranger works with forestland owners for best practice management and inspects any timber being harvested. Rogers also makes sure that landowners are following water quality regulations for creeks and streams. The forest service works closely with Polk County’s six fire departments as well. “They are our number one asset,” Rogers said. “We couldn’t do it without them.” The forest service offers grants available to local fire departments, which helps fire departments receive needed training and equipment. The forest service will con-

To learn more about the Foothills Quilt Trail you can visit www. foothillstrail.com. The group is also gearing up for National Quilting Day on March 16. An event will be held at the Landrum Library from 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. The Landrum Quilters group meets on the second Thursday of each month at 9:30 a.m. at the Gowensville Community Center.

tinue its planting program for the next few months and begin getting prepared for the spring season, which is often dry. The forest service also does prescribed burns, or controlled burns for landowners, to benefit the forests. Rogers has worked with the forest service for about six years. He said since he’s worked in Polk County, there have been between 15 to 20 fires. Just last week the forest service responded to an approximate 15-acre fire in Green Creek and the forest service also had a 20-acre fire last November at Camp Bob Hardin in the Saluda area. To ask about a prescribed burn or for more information about the forest service, contact Rogers at 828-894-8020.

Sandy practiced medicine in Florida, Pennsylvania and Ohio and moved to Polk County in 1998, coming from Chagrin Falls, Ohio. She practiced veterinary medicine locally at Landrum Veterinary Hospital, Bonnie Brae Veterinary Hospital and was the volunteer veterinarian for Foothills Humane Society. She was a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association, the Bainbridge Volunteer Fire Department, and the North East Ohio Dressage Association. Sandy and her husband en-
joyed breeding, raising and training Trakehner horses. She had a passion for dressage and loved to ride every evening. She was an enthusiastic practitioner of yoga and also enjoyed spending hours in her garden accompanied by her cats, Rocky and Yogi. A long time member and former board of directors member of the Foothills Riding Club, Sandy gave back to the sport she loved with all her heart and soul. Chilly, drizzly days, hot humid days – if you walked past the judge’s stand at an FRC dressage show in Tryon, you would see her sitting there next to the judge serving as a scribe. As a board member, she contributed to running club functions and played a major role in coordinating the dressage shows. Her
dedication to FRC was rewarded with the Volunteer of the Year Award. She was an integral and much valued part of the horse community in this area. Sandy gave generously of her time, her professional skills and her friendship and her presence will be missed in our lives. Surviving is her husband of 29 years, Timothy H. Davidson. A private celebration of her life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Foothills Humane Society, 989 Little Mountain Road, Columbus, N.C. 28722, or to Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, 130 Forest Glenn Drive, Columbus, N.C. 28722.

I have been thinking a lot about my parents, Edd and Martha Austin, lately. They were bright and shining people. They loved life, the beach, being together, going to church and most of all they loved their family. Their grandchildren were bright and shining stars to them and they would tell anyone who would listen about their accomplishments. Growing up with them as our parents was always an adventure. For instance, on rainy days when we could not go out and play; my mama would help us write and organize the performance of a play. She somehow came up with costumes for us to wear. We would rehearse and rehearse so the play would be
perfect when daddy came home from work. My parents would then sit and watch our “Tony” award-winning play and clap and laugh at the proper intervals. My brother and I felt so very special. They were exceptional parents and people. As Martha and Edd were entering their golden years, the ravages of Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer’s attacked their brains. At first, it began slowly. Forgetting little things in a conversation, misplacing items around the house and then frantically looking for them. As time progressed, dangerous incidences began to happen – leaving the gas stove on, Daddy cleaning off the roof of a two-story house (continued on page 9)

Music flows all night as TFAC Chases Away the Blues Feb. 2 No matter your favorite style of blues, you’ll find it at Tryon Fine Arts Center during Chase Away the Blues -- the nonstop night of music happening Saturday, Feb. 2. The music begins at 5 p.m. Band sponsor for this event is Pacolet Milliken. Performers include Mac Arnold and Plate Full O’Blues, Shane Pruitt Band, Dr. Blues Chuck Beattie, Rudy Blue Shoes Wyatt, Jim Peterman Quartet, Daryle Ryce and Tommy Lytle. Venues in the TFAC building will include the Main Stage, the lobby and the Mahler Room. Music will play in the Mahler Room and the lobby between the acts on the Main Stage. In the Mahler Room (in order of appearance): • Tommy Lytle: Opening the blues piano bar in the TFAC lobby is Spartanburg native, local businessman and blues artist Tommy Lytle. Tommy has played guitar, saxophone and piano since the early 60’s, and has performed in recent years at private events and with local bands including Rob and The Mob, The Jim Peterman Quartet and The Special Edition Band. • Daryle Ryce: Born and raised in Spartanburg, the singer, songwriter and guitarist Daryle Ryce has developed a national and international fan base. According to Fred Goodman of Rolling Stone magazine, Ryce is “a distinctive and uniquely American artist...an outstanding pianist and guitarist, equally comfortable playing bluegrass, country, swing, jazz, bossa nova and folk.” Her admirers include Chet Atkins, Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich and Pat Boone. • Jim Peterman: Jim was the resident organist and pianist in the Steve Miller Band from mid-1967 until 1968 and played on two of their albums. Jim is a solo and ensemble musician playing throughout North and South Carolina. In the lobby throughout the evening • Rudy Blue Shoes Wyatt:
Rudy is a powerful, high-energy boogie player with a flair for New Orleans jazz and conveys an authentic feeling for each style. Originally and currently from Greenville, S.C. Rudy has played all over the country starting at the age of 17 in the Whiskey A-Go-Go in Atlanta. Rudy has played on The Arches Boogie Piano Stage of the Queen City Blues Festival with countless boogie icons like Big Joe Duskin, Johnnie Johnson and Bob Seeley. On the Main Stage (in order of appearance): • Daryle Ryce: Daryle is back at Chase Away the Blues on the Main Stage by popular demand. A local treasure, Daryle will blow you away. • Jim Peterman Quartet: Blues, jazz, rock and soul veteran Jim Peterman on the Hammond B3 leads his quartet in a sound that resonates with the best of the blues. With decades of experience in the music industry, Tim Blackwell, Mack McCloud along with Jim Peterman create blues and soul that will make you dance. • “Dr. Blues” Chuck Beattie: Chuck Beattie (aka Dr. Blues) fronts a Chicago-Style Blues band based in Western North Carolina. Chuck utilizes his knowledge of gospel, jazz, and the sounds of the Delta to draw out the best of Chicago Style Blues. The result is music as rich as Muddy Waters, and as down and dirty as Howling Wolf. Beattie commands the stage with his classic charm, compelling folks of all ages and backgrounds to get up and dance. • Mac Arnold Plate Full O’Blues: Mac Arnold, hailing from Pelzer, S.C. has a career that reads like a Who’s Who of R&B. In the late 1950’s his high school band was often joined by young James Brown on piano. In Chicago he played with the Muddy Waters Band, and shared the stage with Eric Clapton, Elvin Bishop, Howlin’ Wolfe, John Lee Hooker, and Big Joe Williams to name a few. Mac backed up many artists,

including The Temptations and B. B. King. In the early 1970s, he moved Los Angeles working with ABC-TV and LAFF Records (Red Foxx). He also worked with Bill Withers and on the set of Soul Train before moving back to South Carolina in the 80s. • Shane Pruitt Band: An extraordinary bluesman raised in Spartanburg, S.C. Shane plays the blues that “groove without compromise and wail without mercy.” Shane’s sound is both powerful and accessible. Shane, an electrifying presence, was named as “the most exciting young bluesman working today” by Peter Cooper, music critic for the Nashville Tennessean. Jim Peterman (B3/Bass/Vocals) and Bill Fletcher (Drums/Vocals)
combine with Shane to make this band one of the most explosive blues acts coming out of the Southeast today. Proceeds will support operations at Tryon Fine Arts Center. Tryon Daily Bulletin and WNCW are Media sponsors for this event. Purchase tickets online at www. tryonarts.org or at the Tryon Fine Arts Center Box office, Tuesday – Friday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 1 p.m..

Phyllis Long Rutledge
God has a new angel. Phyllis Long Rutledge, 89, of Tryon, NC died Tuesday, Jan. 29, 2013 in Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills, Landrum. Born in Johnstown, Penn., she was the daughter of the late John and Esther Teter Long and was the widow of James Rutledge, who died in l993. Phyllis was a retired English teacher having taught for 25 years at Polk Central High School. After retirement
she was a dedicated volunteer with St. Luke’s Thrift Shop, Tryon Youth Center Board, P o l k C o m m u n i t y F o u n d ation Scholarship Committees and the Polk County Mental Health Board. She served at the MedAssist Outreach Ministry for 10 years, and the St. Luke’s Hospital Auxillary for 25 years where she was a past president, vice president and secretary. Phyllis was an avid golfer and bridge player; she loved the beach, time with friends and anything that involved her family. Her cheerful disposition, pleasant smile, compassion for others
and steadfast determination to overcome health problems were an inspiration. She was loved by many and will live forever in our hearts. Surviving are a son, Jim Rutledge, Jr. (Barbara) of LaGrange, GA; two daughters, Ann Sellars of Tryon, and Susan Bowman (Tagg) of Columbus; three grandsons, Johnathan, Benjamin and Jeffrey Sellers and step-grandchildren Brett Bowman (Angela) and Alex Weathers (Stormy) and step great-grandchildren Brannon and Madeson Weathers and Rascal (the cat). She was preceded in death by a sister,
Barbara Seidel and brothers, Jack and Jim Long. Memorial services will be announced at a later date. The family would like to extend a special thank you to St. Luke’s Hospital, Hospice of the Carolina Foothills, White Oak Manor and especially to her wonderful caregivers at Benson Hall. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the charity of your choice. An on-line guest register may be signed at www.mcfarlandfuneralchapel.com McFarland Funeral Chapel, Tryon.

Cover up…
After emptying industrial kitchen-sized pots of spaghetti late last year, the Kiwanis Club of Tryon has decided to take on another crowdpleaser – chili. The Kiwanis Club of Tryon will host its first chili supper Thursday, Jan. 31 from 5-7 p.m. at Holy Cross Episcopal Church. Under the kitchen leadership of Kiwanian Denny Rook, the men of Kiwanis (yes, our men can really cook) and a few women plan to labor over hot stoves most of the day Thursday to bring the community huge pots of warm chili with all the fixings. Cheese, sour cream, cornbread and salad are all on the menu to enhance the meal. Plus, if you’ve ever been to a Kiwanis fundraiser meal before, you know the desserts themselves are worth the ticket price. To-go meals are also available.
