• Hospice (continued from page x)

Hospice of the Carolina Foothills.

Last year’s inaugural event raised almost $6,000, and with even more venues taking part this year, adding a wider variety of choices and locations, hopes for another successful event are high.

Restaurant owners are going all-out, some contributing their own creative touches to the program.

“This is the first year we are participating,” said Ken Busch of Scoops N’ More in Columbus.

“We are donating a portion of the proceeds on the Tuesday of Dining Week, but we are coming up with a Special Hospice Sundae, and a portion of the proceeds for the entire week are being donated from each Special Sundae sold.”

Though Busch has not had personal experience with Hospice, he is an ardent supporter.

“We believe in what they are doing, the good work they are doing for the individuals in the

community, and we have had many customers spend their last days in the care of someone in Hospice,” he says. “Even though we would like this event to draw some traffic, the important thing is we are getting the word out that we believe in Hospice. It is more of an awareness type of thing.

Maybe someone will learn about the organization just in case they ever need the help.”

Also new to the event this year is Virginia Maclure of Landrum and her Dark Corner Diner, a bright red food truck (lovingly named Tillie) offering gourmet delights in various locations throughout the area. She brings her moveable feast to Stott’s Corner in Columbus on Wednesday, July 17. She shares her motivation for joining the event.

“I have had many friends with parents or grandparents that Hospice has helped, and I know the good work they do,” she said, “I have two friends with a brother and a mother in Hospice at this time.”

She said she hopes to entice diners and raise money for HCF on her Dining Out day with a menu that includes roast beef sandwiches with radish slaw, grilled onions and black pepper mayo; lemony marinated chickpea sandwiches with black olives, roasted red pepper; sea salt brownies; macadamia nut bars and more.

Molly Thomas of Wildflour Bake Shop in Saluda is back this year to tempt customers with menu items made from fresh,

local produce of the day.

“We have chosen Sunday for our Dining Out day. We offer several special items every Sunday,” Thomas said, and shares her reason for continuing to be a part of the event. “We recognize the benefits of having Hospice available in our community and want to support it. Hospice of the Carolina Foothills has been there for our family when we needed their support and skills.”

ing Out for Hospice, offering gourmet, organic coffee drinks, teas and baked goods, including baked blueberry oatmeal, a variety of scones, cakes and more.

Owner Stan Yoder talks about his connection to Hospice, and why he’s back for year two.

“I’ve seen firsthand, with some of my customers, the good things Hospice is doing through the smile on their faces as they shared how Hospice has been there for them during difficult times,” he said.

He said last year’s turnout was good, and he expects this year to be better.

For Daniel Blake, owner of Tailgaters Sports Grill in Greer, S.C., participating in Dining Out for Hospice (Thursday, July 18) is personal on many levels.

“We want to be involved in the local community and support

organizations that have a positive role in our community. Hospice is the kind of organization that helps and touches everyone in the community,” he says. “My wife and I, as well as my business partner, have all had members of our family that have been helped by hospice providers in various areas throughout the country. Giving back to our local Hospice organization is a great way for us to say, ‘Thanks.’”

Another newcomer this year is restaurant, caterer and deli, Southern Manners in Columbus.

True to their “Like Grandma Made It” menu, their eatery is a family affair, and their perspective is community-oriented.

“We would not be in business without the support of the community, and we wanted to give back,” said Patrick Overholt, Southern Manners’ owner.

Daughter, Krista Bontrager, who handles advertising, marketing and other business aspects of the restaurant, adds, “We hope

to give people a reason to come back again, and support Hospice and the local businesses.”

She gives diners a taste of what they can expect when they visit on Tuesday, July 16.

“We will be serving our regular menu, but we are adding some new items – grilled chicken Caesar wrap, chicken bacon ranch wrap and turkey cranberry wrap, as well as some new breakfast items.”

So get out your calendar, gather your friends and family and map out a week of delectable dining.

Check out all the Dining Out for Hospice partner restaurants and their participation dates in the “Let’s Eat” section at diningoutforhospice.org or see the advertisement list on page 7.

that can be viewed from public roads or sidewalks either publicly or privately owned.

“The Appearance Commission began this tradition to thank and honor our citizens for their contributions to the beauty of our county,” said appearance commission chair Joe Cooper.

Crys Armbrust accepted the award for Tryon, which was given for the town’s streetscape improvements in several areas of downtown, including the landscaped intersection of New Market Road and South Trade Street and improvements in parking and landscaping along McCown Street.

Deon Dunn accepted the award for the Polk County Republican Party presented for replacing the old building on South Peak Street in downtown Columbus with the new Sarah Ernst Danall Republican Headquarters.

Beth Child and Rita Landrum accepted the award for the Tryon Fine Arts Center, presented for designing and building the outdoor amphitheater, landscaped grounds and new parking area in Tryon.

Cooper presented the awards and thanked commission members Carolyn Ashburn and Cathy Brettman for their work publicizing the awards and collecting applications.

Cooper said making Polk County more beautiful for the public to see has the immediate benefit of allowing those of us who live here to enjoy our home and county more as well as economic and tourism development benefits.

“When our buildings and roadsides are beautiful, clean and green we have a better chance to bring in new businesses, grow our existing ones and provide more local jobs,” Cooper said. “We are attracting tourists and guests who will stay a while, eat in our restaurants, shop in our stores and stay in

one of our B&Bs or inns. We are more appealing to someone who may decide to build their dream home here in one of our several developments. This provides local construction jobs and other obvious benefits to our economy.”

Any property owner or renter of a commercial or residential property located in Polk County can nominate their own property or another property for the anual award as long as the property is visible by the general public from public roads or sidewalks.

i am not a gardener. But i love plants. and i absolutely love growing herbs, and using them to cook. on the deck outside our home, carefully placed to enjoy the maximum amount of sun (which is always less than they should have), are some 15 herb plants in 17 pots, along with four different flower varieties. We have been growing herbs and flowers on our deck each of the four years we have lived in tryon. this year they are simply spectacular. the rosemary, the oregano, the various basils, the lemon balm, the thymes, all are simply growing their hearts out, lush green, almost begging me to pick them for the evening dinner. Why the mint has been so energetic that it has grown all the way over to the geranium (one of our few flowers) seeking a new home and creating a kind of agricultural mayhem. the other morning i had to separate them,

and put the mint plant in “time out,” over on the corner of the deck. this year, even the chives are doing well. and had i known this was going to be such a great year, i might have even planted dill - something that has failed miserably each of the last three years. now i might wish to attribute this magnificent verdancy to my developing skills as a gardener, but that would be less than the truth. the truth is that this year i have done less than i have ever done, and the plants have done better. Well, i did replace the soil in three pots. But i have only watered the entire menagerie twice in eight weeks, and that was after planting them some ten days later than i had planned. So my role was modest. Yet the garden flourished.

Charlie, played by Cash McFarlane, left, with Kate Riedy and Alix LeCroy, playing Mrs. and Mr. Bucket. (photo submitted by Monica Jones)

‘Willy Wonka’ and the loving Bucket Family at TLT July 18-21 Just look at their happy faces.

You wouldn’t guess that Mr. and Mrs. Bucket and their daughter Charlie had gone “from morning ‘til night with a horrible rumbling in their tummies.”

Two sets of grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Bucket, and Charlie, all squeezed into a tiny trailer, with only cabbage soup to eat.

Although they are destitute, and Mr. Bucket has just lost his job at the toothpaste-cap-twisting factory, today is Charlie’s birthday and they’ve managed to get her a present: a Wonka’s WhippleScrumptious-Fudgemallow-Delight candy bar.

Cash McFarlane, 10, plays Charlie in her first ever “real” role for Tryon Little Theater/ Tryon Youth Center’s fun-filled Summer Youth Production, “Willy Wonka.”

“I’ve been in a school play before, but this is my first really big play,” she said. “I’ve seen ‘Willy Wonka’ so many times and just love it, so I decided to try out. It was a big shock when I got a lead part, but I’m having so much fun.”

Mrs. Bucket (Kate Riedy) is not new to the TLT Stage, and

has appeared most recently as the sweet-voiced Connie Miller in the 1940s Radio Hour. A rising senior, she hopes to attend Converse College and get her degree in musical theater with a minor in opera. She loves the positive family message of the play and especially enjoys singing the tender song “Cheer up Charlie”.

Alix LeCroy plays Mr. Bucket, a loving father, dealing with the stress of providing for a large extended family. A recent graduate from Chapman High School, LeCroy will be off to USC Upstate in the fall. He recently performed with the TFAC fall tour of “Sleepy Hollow” and “Twelfth Night.”

“Willy Wonka,” based on Roald Dahl’s book, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” plays at the Tryon Fine Arts Center, July 18 – 21. Tickets are available at the TLT Workshop box office, 516 S. Trade St. in Tryon, Monday – Saturday 10 a.m. – 1 p.m., and Tuesday and Thursday 4 – 7 p.m. Call 828-859-2466 for ticket prices and more information, or visit www.tltinfo.org.

Carol Jean and Kip Vosburgh

Vosburghs compete in Firecracker 5k Kip and Carol Jean Vosburgh, area residents, competed in the third annual Columbus Firecracker 5K run, July 4. Even though the weather was not cooperating, the senior couple forged through the rain drops.

The run course follows a quiet residential area, first por-

tion down hill. The senior couple each placed in their age group of 65-69. Kip placed third and Carol Jean first.

They decided it would be a great way to celebrate and start the Fourth of July.

Dee Clark, Paul Revere & the Raiders and many more artists.

He has lived in Hendersonville, N.C. for over 15 years.

Michael Leyshon started drumming in junior high school.

His decades long musical journey has included rock, jazz and blues bands doing mostly cover songs but has also played in bands playing original songs. His drumming interest started at age five.

His parents would watch Don Kishner’s Rock Concert program on the weekend, and he would observe from a distance.

He noticed the man behind the drums. The drummer was key to the music but was not in the spot light as was the lead singer. This

position appealed to him and the rest is history.

Rodney Gibson plays guitar and keyboards and sings backup and lead vocals. His music roots are rock ‘n roll, but he has played a variety of music (gospel, folk, bluegrass, blues and jazz) for most of his adult life.
