therapy at The Shepherd’s Center in Atlanta, Ga. Family friend Stephanie Johnson has helped organize a car wash for Saturday, Sept. 21. Johnson said she’s known Barrington for about seven years and said she is more than deserving of the outpouring of support. “She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet – she always has a smile on her face no matter the situation,” Johnson said. A reception and auction to benefit Barrington, held Saturday, Sept. 21 at FENCE, brought out more than 300 equestrians, family and horse trial participants. All proceeds from the event, hosted by the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club (TR&HC), went to the Equestrian Aid Foundation (EAF). Monies were also raised at the EAF/Amy Barrington silent auction on site. More than 200 items donated by both the local and national equestrian community kept participants busy and competitive at the auction. Volunteers, within a six-day time frame, worked tirelessly to pull off a fun and profitable event. The evening fundraiser was capped off with a taco supper catered by Paul Dale’s Foothills Mountain BBQ. EAF is a national 501(c) 3 dedicated to helping equestrians with catastrophic injuries. Sheryl Kursar, EAF managing director and board member, was present for the fundraiser. “Improving the lives of horsemen in need is our mission. The outpouring of support by the community and TR&HC for EAF is strong. Our organization will assist Amy and her family in the many months to come,” said Kursar. TR&HC President Nancy Wilson plans on this fundraiser becoming an annual benefit. “Combined with our recognized horse trails at FENCE, we know this event will be well supported by the local equestrian community and in turn, benefit those locally, most in need,” said Wilson. Thus far, $17,000 has been

raised from the Saturday night event, with more donations and payments in process. Ongoing fundraising efforts: Car wash - A car wash will be held this Saturday, Sept. 28 at noon at Ken Feagin’s Truck and Trailer in Landrum. Bracelets supporting Barrington’s recovery will also be sold. All monies will go to Barrington’s recovery. “I’m really hoping a lot of people will come out because Amy, Greg and Ben are always so considerate of others that we need to show that same kindness to them,” Johnson said. Wristbands - TR&HC and the Farmhouse are also selling “Ride For Amy” benefit wristbands. A suggested donation is $5 per bracelet, with 100 percent of proceeds benefitting Amy Barrington and her family. Anyone interested in purchasing a wristband or making a donation can send a check to: Amy Barrington at TR&HC office, FENCE, the Farm House, Little Mountain Farm Supply, The Tack Shop in Greenville and The Hay Rack on Hwy 14. More than $2,500 has been raised so far, from all over the nation. For more information on how to donate to Barrington, contact the TR&HC at office@trhcevents. org or 828-863-0480. Flower Fund – An Amy Barrington “Flower Fund” is set up at The Farm House in Landrum so that anyone who might want to send flowers, can consider contributing to a fund offsetting medical costs for the family. FRC - The Foothills Riding Club Dressage and Schooling Jumping Show to be held Oct. 12 at Harmon Field will be designated as a benefit show for Barrington. Proceeds will be donated to the EAF to help with long-term care. In recognition of the need for ongoing assistance, plans are underway for another benefit in the spring.

“Merrittsville: Lost Village of the Dark Corner” Oct. 8 The Landrum Library presents a showing of the documentary film “Merrittsville: Lost Village of the Dark Corner” with Dr. Anne Blythe on Tuesday, Oct. 8 beginning at 6:30 p.m. Her documentary film is an outgrowth of both her Upcountry heritage and her belief in the importance of place in our lives. The Dark Corner of Greenville County holds many secrets. One of them, perhaps the least known and now with time, the most mysterious, is the once-thriving but now underwater lost village of Merrittsville. Balanced upon the mountain peak dividing North and South Carolina, Merrittsville once rested in the ancient crosspath of the Saluda Gap, that natural passage way first marked by the tracks of native animals, then those of Native Americans. It later became the best route over the rugged mountains. What is known as “the Old State Road,”- the Superhighway of the 18th century, connecting upcountry with low country. But progress always exacts its due and over time, the price we paid was the loss of this once-bustling mountain town. Merrittsville now exists only in memory and story.
Dr. Anne Montague Blythe is a seventh generation South Carolinian and a literary historian. She holds a doctorate in 20th century American Literature, with a specialty in Southern and South Carolina writers. Formerly the curator of the Upcountry History Museum in Greenville, she is currently a heritage tourism consultant with Greenville County recreation district. She also chairs the Heritage foothills committee, which directs mindful development, tourism and promotion of the Historic Highway 11 Corridor in Northern Greenville County. Dr. Blythe has taught and directed conferences all over the world and has produced television and radio programs for South Carolina Educational TV and radio. She has published widely on authors such as William Faulkner, Kate Chopin, Marjorie Rawlings and William Gilmore Simms. She is a published poet and has recently published her first novel entitled Carolina Mountain Song. This event is free and open to the public.

With treatment and recovery of addiction, one size doesn’t fit all Editor’s Note: As a continuing observance of National Recovery Month, and this year’s theme, Join the Voices for Recovery: Together on Pathways to Wellness,” Pavillon Treatment Center explores the styles and pathways of recovery that differ with each individual. While it is true that styles and pathways of recovery differ with each individual in recovery, it is also true for the care plans of formal addiction treatment services. This is known as the individualization of care. While we acknowledge individual differences, is there anything that is the same within what we know about addiction? Addiction disease has a widely accepted set of diagnostic criteria (the American Psychiatric Association), a descriptive definition covering physical, emotional, behavioral, spiritual and relational aspects of the illness (the American Society of Addiction Medicine) and a large body of research clarifying these aspects of the illness. This body of research grows each year. As the available research evaluating addiction illness grows, our understanding of addiction disease grows. This has led to a clearer picture of the commonality of addictive illness, regardless of the substance (e.g. alcohol, cocaine or prescription opiates) used or the behavior one is engaged in (gambling, etc.). The disease of addiction has never been better understood or better defined for all. Although the disease is well defined and our understanding of it is uniform, best care is individualized. Why is that? Not all people enter the disease with the same life or lifestyle. Not all people manifest all possible aspects of the illness. Not all people are equal in their length, complexity and severity of addiction illness. The common definition of addiction that describes and defines the problem is not a replacement
for understanding the person as an individual. What does the person using formal treatment to enter recovery specifically need? A formal intervention is needed for some and not others. Medically managed withdrawal is needed for some and not others. For many a residential start to formal treatment is needed. Some will do best in a longer term of residential care that includes stepping down through extended care and/or a sober residence. Some will benefit from medications aimed at withdrawal, post-acute withdrawal or psychiatric conditions. Some people will benefit in early recovery through medication support aimed at reduction of cravings. Everyone comes to treatment with their own key relationships and family connections. Thus, every plan for care varies in
terms of education, referral and vital support necessary for the relationships in each individual’s life. The goal is always promoting change and recovery at the level of key relationships and the family system, but again specific plans will vary. Are some of the family members or key relations in recovery? Do they need or want education regarding their own health and healing within the context of the personal recovery of the one in treatment? Will they do best with a counselor of their own? All of these questions illustrate that a one-size-fits-all approach will not work best with key relationships and the family system in view. Many are familiar with substance use problems through personal experience of one kind or another. Many are also familiar with the requirements of early recovery and of sustaining
Everyone comes to treatment with their own key relationships and family connections. recovery. Because our experience or familiarity with addiction or recovery, it can become easy to overlook the variables found within each person or to broadbrush the idea of a recovery plan. In short, we need look no farther than the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous to see clearly the centrality of the disease and of recovery, as well as the ways within which each person’s individual challenges and journey into and through recovery differ. Quality care and vibrant recovery appreciate and draw from both. - By Brian Coon, director of clinical services

How to track down long-lost friends Dear Savvy Senior, I’m interested in tracking down some old friends I’ve lost touch with over the years but could use some help. What tips or resources can you recommend to help me find them? ~ Searching Senior Dear Searching, It you have access to the Internet, tracking down long-lost friends from many years ago is relatively easy to do, and in most cases it won’t cost you a cent. Here are some tips and tools to help you get started. Gather details Before you begin your search, a good first step is to jot down any information you can remember or find out about the people you’re trying to locate. Things like their full name (maiden and married), age or birth date, last known address or phone number, old e-mail address, names of family members, etc. Knowing details can help you turn up clues while you search. Searching tools After you compile some information, a good place to start your search is at google.com. Just type in the person’s first and last name in quotation marks to indicate you’re searching for a specific phrase – for example, “John Smith.” Unless your friend has a unique name, you’re likely to get dozens of results. You can narrow your search by adding other criteria like their middle initial or middle name, the city or state they may live in, or
even their occupation. You can also do an advanced Google search at google.com/advancedsearch, which helps you specify your search for better results. Some other free people search websites to try are pipl.com, wink. com and zabasearch.com. Or for a few dollars, you can search a little deeper at sites like intelius.com and peoplefinders.com. In addition to these search engines, try social networking and affinity sites where your friend may have registered like facebook.com, twitter. com, linkedIn.com and classmates. com. Another option is to check out high school alumni websites. Not every school has its own site, but some do, and you can look for it by going to any search engine and typing in the name of the school with the city and state it’s located in. You can also search at alumniclass.com, a huge hosting site for thousands of high schools across the U.S. If you’re looking for old college friends, your university alumni association may be able to help. While they probably won’t give you the contact information of the person you’re looking for, they may be able to forward a message for you. If you’re looking for someone you served with in the military, military.com offers a free “Buddy Finder” service that has a database

Deceased friends If you can’t find any current information about the person you’re searching for, it could be that he or she is dead.

consuming twice as much potassium as sodium can cut your risk of dying from cardiovascular disease in half. Potassium can lower risk of stroke too. Good food sources include bananas, citrus juices, avocados, cantaloupe, tomatoes, lima beans and fish. 4. Vitamin A. This vitamin helps keep skin, gums, and teeth healthy. It also helps us see better at night. To see in dim light, the rods in your eye’s retina use the chemical rhodopsin (also known as” visual purple”) to absorb photons and actually perceive light. Without enough vitamin A, rhodopsin can’t be produced. Vitamin A helps boost your immune system too. Vitamin A is fat soluble, which means your body stores it, so you can obtain too much. There are two types of vitamin A. Pre-formed vitamin A, from sources like liver, fish liver oils and eggs, and Pro-vitamin A (beta-carotene), that’s converted by our bodies as we need it, from sources like carrots, butternut squash, dark leafy greens, paprika, red peppers and sweet potatoes. 5. Magnesium. This is the fourth most abundant mineral stored in our bodies and necessary for more than 300 biochemical reactions. Magnesium helps our bodies store energy, keeps nerves healthy, and muscles toned, helps genes function properly, keeps bones strong, and heart rhythm steady. Magnesium helps decrease triglycerides (fat in the blood) and increases HDL (good) cholesterol levels. It can decrease hypertension (high blood pressure) and decrease risk for type 2 diabetes. Magnesium can also reduce risk of “Metabolic syndrome,” whose symptoms include increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, and obesity occurring at the same time, increasing one’s risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. One study showed those who consumed adequate amounts of magnesium cut their risk of metabolic syndrome by 33 percent or more.

Green Creek Archery brings home state championship The Green Creek Archery club traveled to Conyers, Ga. the weekend of Sept. 21-22 for the Georgia State Archery Championship competition and came home with five medals, including one state championship. There were some high caliber archers in the competition, including Elzbieta Tworek, a member of the Polish Olympic archery team in 1980 and 1984; Lee Ford, a 2012 Para-Olympic archery team member; and Jake Veit, who set a record for high score in the Male Compound Fingers Master 70 division. Seven archers from the club, Rachel Roberson, Josh Streacker, Matthew Loman, Phil Burney and Rick Burney, as well as coaches Jim Vennera and Steve Burney participated in the tournament. Rick Burney won the state championship in the 12-14-yearold male compound bow division, with a score that was the sixth highest in the entire competition, across all divisions. Matthew Loman took the bronze medal in the same division. Phil Burney won the bronze medal in the 12-14-yearold male recurve bow division. Vennera and Steve Burney each won silver medals in their respective divisions. Rachel Roberson and Josh Streacker both came in fifth in their divisions (under 12 recurve bow, female and male, respectively). This was the first tournament for Loman and Roberson. The coaches agreed that it was a very good weekend and the club did a good job of getting noticed in Georgia.

“It’s unusual for one club to win so many medals at a tournament, and we’re especially proud to bring home a state championship,” said Vennera. “The kids have all been working hard, and this weekend they were shooting against kids who have been shooting for many years longer than they have. They all did a great job.”
The Green Creek Archery Club initiated in October 2012 at the Green Creek Community Center. The JOAD (Junior Olympic Archery Development) program was started a short time later, in February 2013. Since then the JOAD club has grown to include 11 kids and has traveled to participate in four tournaments
in Georgia and hosted a tournament in conjunction with the Green Creek Heritage Festival. The club is open to children over 8 years old and adults. For more information, contact Steve Burney at Medicap Pharmacy in Columbus or call 828-894-6112. – article submitted by Steve Burney

Wolverines begin conference play versus Madison at home by Mark Schmerling
The Polk County Wolverines look to begin their quest for a Western Highlands Conference football title at 7:30 p.m. this evening when they host Madison, their first conference rival of the season. The Wolverines (2-3) have won their last two games. After a 55-27 loss to Erwin last week, Madison is 3-1 overall, and playing its first conference game of the season as well. The Wolverines are fresh off a 47-17 thumping of East Henderson. Wolverine coach Bruce Ollis labeled the Patriots “a very formidable opponent.” The team, which won 13 games last year and made it to the regional semi-finals, has many returning players. Last year, Polk lost the match up, 28-21, at Madison. Tonight, with a home crowd behind them, and a healthy squad, Polk looks to give Madison a long bus ride back. As witnesses to recent games
have seen, “We’ve played well on defense. We’ve made some dynamic plays on offense,” said Ollis. Polk’s tackling, a bit sketchy early, has become much more authoritative. As always, ball control will be key for Polk. Not coincidentally, the Wolverines made no turnovers in their two wins. Two Patriot players the Wolverines will try to stop in particular, are Madison’s talented tailback, Tyler Hoffman, and Cole Cuthberson, whom Ollis described as “probably the best punt returner and kick-off returner in western North Carolina.” He added that the Patriots have a tall and talented pass receiver (John Tikhonov). “They’re not as formidable up front as last year (after losing some players). (But) They’ve got a lot of confidence in having a great team,” Ollis said. “It’s good to be at home… This is a game we need to win.’”

Landrum Cardinals head to Liberty
by Samantha Hurst
While Landrum found homecoming victory, the Cardinals hope to prevent Liberty from enjoying the same celebration as they head to play the Red Devils Friday, Sept. 27. “I’m excited about playing the game just like I am every Friday night,” said LHS head coach Russell Mahaffey. “If our players play at the level I know they can play I think we’ll do well, but we take no one lightly.” Landrum (1-3) hopes to keep momentum alive after grabbing their first season win over Carolina 21-6 at home. The Cardinals put up 336 yards last week and hope to put up that or more over Liberty, who’s 0-4 on the season. Mahaffey said the Red Devils are primarily a running team and his guys will have to be prepared for that type of offense. “We are going to have to play a good game against the run, which we’ve done and hopefully will continue to do,” he said. Liberty put up a strong effort against Powdersville last weekend, eventually shrinking the Patriot’s 18-point lead to a win of just 7 points. Landrum’s defense will look to create opportunities and limit Liberty’s offense. One way the Cardinals can do that is by forcing turnovers – LHS benefited from four turnovers by Carolina last week and two interceptions by their own Jacob Corn. Big plays like this could allow the Cardinals to continue their forward motion into another win.

• Hit Musical (continued from page 34)
Saturday, Oct. 5 at 8 p.m. at Tryon Fine Arts Center, join some of the most experienced musical improvisers in the United States as they create an entire musical comedy on the spot. Broadway’s Next Hit Musical, sponsored by Millard and Company, is the opening show of Tryon Fine Arts Center’s 201314 Main Stage Season. To celebrate this occasion and to provide material for the show itself, TFAC will offer hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar starting at 7 p.m. During this pre-show party, audience members can submit original song titles, some of which will be chosen at random for the actors to improvise in front of a live audience and one of which will be expanded into a “full” musical comedy in the second half of the show. With audience input used to generate every aspect of the show, Broadway’s Next Hit Musical promises a comedy inspired not
only by the audience, but by Tryon itself. The seasoned performers, four actors, an emcee and a pianist, collectively have 20,000 performances under their belt. Company member Robert Z Grant will offer a 90-minute class in improvisational theater for actors high school aged and up. The number of participants in this class is limited and those interested are asked to register in advance. Tryon Fine Arts Center is a nonprofit organization that operates and programs a 300-seat performance venue and 150-seat amphitheater for music, theatre, dance and lectures for a wide variety of audiences.

Carolina Keglers bowling shakes off rust for new season The Carolina Keglers began a new bowling season Wednesday, Sept. 25. This is a mixed league of women and men over 50 who want a little recreation with an emphasis on fun rather than competition. No experience required. Bowlers’ averages range from 70 to 170. Their format is nontraditional in that they change teams every week. This means there is no need to find a sub if you can’t bowl one week. Just keep the league secretary informed of your schedule and team adjustments are made while you enjoy that cruise to the islands. The Keglers welcome new bowlers any time during the six-month season. They bowl Wednesday mornings at Autumn Lanes in Forest City at
10 a.m. There is no league fee, you only pay for your bowling and shoe rental. The gang was a bit rusty after a long summer off, but had a good time as always. Familiar faces told stories of summer and new folks were met with friendly smiles and greetings. Some notable high games: Ellen Harvey - 147 Joan Hancock - 155 Jack Knirk - 188 Mike Davidson - 192 Gary Poague - 196 Anyone wishing to join the Carolina Keglers should contact Mike Davidson at 828894-5823 or email kwk1970@ windstream.net. Members are asked to please tell Mike when they cannot bowl. - article submitted by Mike Davidson

tions, “Now, dear, let’s be a little realistic and tuck away such silly dreams. Because, after all, they are just dreams, aren’t they?” Yes, unless you act upon them, dreams remain simply dreams. I don’t see myself as the sort of person who intends to jump out of an airplane at age 80 or even plunge, screaming, through a gorge on a zip-line, tomorrow.
But I do see Paul and I toasting a summer sunset from a bougainvillea-drenched terrace with a rustic Italian table wine, or going for an autumn hack on my horse through the open countryside of Cornwall and hearing the boom of the surf against the cliffs, or sampling the hand crafted cheeses in the village fromagerie.

Federal Estate Taxes Q. My estate is almost totally family land. Is there any way to arrange installment payments of federal estate taxes? Yes. If a substantial part of the estate is in a farm or a closely held business, your estate may not have enough funds to pay the taxes. The IRS allows an exception to the 9-month rule for such estates. If the decedent is a U.S. citizens and the value of the farm or business is more than 35% of the decedentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adjusted gross estate and the estate tax return makes such an election, your estate may defer payment of the estate tax for your estate will have to pay only the interest on the deferred taxes. However, only the part of your taxes attributable to the farm or business can be paid in installments. The rest is due 9 months from the date of death. Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Remembering Hunter, Wil and Ute Hearing of the passing of Hunter Waldrop was a real shock, as I had just visited with him a few days before, and he seemed fine. He showed me that he kept a grabber close at hand and used it for everything except the air conditioner, for which someone had given him a long stick to reach the knobs from his bed . . . Hunter had so much going all the time, even at White Oak, that he could hardly make time to visit. I am pleased that one of his honor bricks at the Veterans Plaza in Columbus is near mine . . . helps me find mine. Years ago I always saw Hunter at the Memorial Day and Veterans Day services. Later I took Lions medical equipment to their house for his late wife Edna. Hunter told me Edna always asked her caregiver to read to her, first from the Bible and then from my first book, A Boy in the Amen Corner. Hunter would always give me â&#x20AC;&#x153;tommy-toesâ&#x20AC;? (big smile) from his garden in season and tell me about his growing-up years. On my last visit at White Oak, he told me to get a peach from the refrigerator, since someone had brought him more than he could eat. He was always sharing from his bounty, either stuff or knowledge. A great friend to have! I saw Rev. Wil Potter many times over the years here, but
Remember When by Garland Goodwin
seldom had more than an exchange of pleasantries with him. I think that is what Wil was about . . . sharing and making life better for the folks he met, ministered to and built houses for. Not a bad record to leave behind when he went to re-join the One who sent him. Surely he was Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s man among His people. I enjoyed visits with Ute Seyffert at her White Oak apartment as Columbus Lions brought her our Christmas goodies each year as one of our VIPs (Visually Impaired Persons). She always welcomed us and we visited at some length with her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and her bird, a large talkative parrot of some sort. When we talked of her reading machine, I asked whether she had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;mouse camera.â&#x20AC;? She had never heard of one. I sent her information about them and I believe one of her sons obtained one for her. The special â&#x20AC;&#x153;mouseâ&#x20AC;? (think computer) is much simpler to use than sliding stuff around under the TV-like screen. The mouse sends to the screen a greatly enlarged picture of whatever it is placed on. Ute could thus look at photos
in an album or labels on cans etc. as well as printed matter like newspapers and magazines. I was surprised to see her name by a closed room door (not her apartment) at White Oak last week . . . my visiting time was up so I told the young nurse to tell her that I would come back to see her another day. I am sorry that I will not have that opportunity because I had come to like her and enjoyed conversations with her. A delightful lady indeed. These are three more people of my acquaintance among too many departed souls this month. I write these little tributes in memory of folks who were a part of the tapestry that is my life to add some color to the bare facts covered in their obituaries. Sure, they had awards and accomplishments perhaps unknown to me, but we also shared experiences unknown to you. When I apologized to Jeff Byrd, former publisher of the Bulletin, for writing so many of these, he told me to continue because the staff of the paper often did not know the persons who had passed. So I have continued, at the expense of the stories and descriptions of people and events of the 30s and 40s that are supposed to be the substance of these columns. But many of these folks were a part of those years here, so I can rationalize that I am on track. Good!

In plain sight at the Upstairs Artspace Spencer unveils the process With the possible exception of en plein air painters, it’s not often the public is granted the opportunity to voyeuristically watch an artist at work, particularly in the privacy of the studio. But this Saturday, Sept. 28, on the closing day of the highly successful 100 x 100 fundraiser at Upstairs Artspace, artist Keith Spencer will generously provide a glimpse into the creative process when he converts a corner of the downstairs gallery into his personal studio. The normally solitary artist will be painting on-site, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., to create a work from start to finish. The finished painting will then be available for bidding during the silent auction closing event beginning at 6 p.m. that evening. While many local patrons are familiar with Spencer’s artwork, most will have never seen him at work. He has been a very private and solitary artist, work-
ing out of various local studios for the past 23 years. From first painting in an attic room in his Gowensville farmhouse, to his custom designed studio in Tryon, he has consistently been true to his process and commitments to the galleries that represent him throughout the southeast. His has been a long and successful road from managing a horse farm in Kentucky, to employment as a graphic artist, while enrolled in figurative art studies at the Greenville Museum of Art, to his long-term involvement with the local arts community. Spencer has been a regular contributor to the Upstairs Artspace having shown in numerous exhibitions, generously donated dozens of paintings for fundraisers and volunteered his time and experience consistently. He has served on its board of directors twice and chaired several committees. He has worked as a full-time artist since 2000 and his artwork is included in numerous collections throughout the U.S. and abroad.
During the time that Spencer is painting at the Upstairs Artspace this Saturday, viewers are asked not to interrupt his work. As a highly intuitive artist, a great deal of focus and attention is required to complete his work, and music is an integral part of that process. He will be happy to address the audience only during breaks and once the painting is completed. Silent bidding on the completed painting will begin at 6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 28, and the bidding will close on his work and two collaborative works in the upstairs gallery at 7:30 p.m., at which time collectors of 100x 100 fundraiser artwork can take their purchases and discover the identity of the artists who completed them. The closing reception will last from 6-9 p.m. Upstairs Artspace is located at 49 S. Trade Street in downtown Tryon. For more information, visit the website at www. upstairsartspace.org or phone 828-859-2828. – article submitted by Tom Madison
