Tryon proposes budget with no tax increaseConsiders one-percent increase in water/sewer ratesby Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon is review-ing its proposed budget for fiscal year 2012-2013, which includes no tax increases but a one-percent increase in water and sewer rates.

Tryon Town Council met Tuesday, May 15 and set Tues-day, June 19 as a public hearing for the new budget.

Tryon is proposing a total budget of $4,130,620 for next fiscal year. The current tax rate of $47.78 cents per $100 of valuation is proposed to remain the same.

The water and sewer increase

includes a reduction in the base usage amount from 1,000 gal-lons to 750 gallons per month. Projections are that the change will mean the base water bill for a customer inside town limits would increase from the current $14.71 per month to $14.86 per month. A base water bill for a

Tryon Arts and Crafts repeats fused art glass lamp workshop Tryon Arts and Crafts School

(TACS) presented “Slumpfest,” a fused art glass lamp workshop in February. The workshop, taught by Karoline Shaffer and John O’Rourke and supplied by Slumpy’s, a Glass Mold Com-pany, a fused glass supplier from Belmont, N.C., was so popular that TACS will offer it again on May 18-20.

Students will create their own glass lampshades by layering different colors of transparent, translucent and iridescent glass in sheet, stringer and chip form. The layer sheet of glass will then be heated in a kiln until it fuses into a sheet. The next step is to lay the fused glass sheet over a stainless steel form and return it to the kiln. This time the glass is heated until it softens enough to slump over the form, creating the lampshade or vase shape. The finished one-of-a-kind glass shade can then be installed in a

hanging pendant lamp or a table lamp fixture.

If you want to take the hand-made idea to the next level, keep your eye peeled for a future workshop at Tryon Arts and Crafts School forge in which you can make a forged iron lamp base to use with your lampshade.

Friday night, May 18, from 6-8 p.m., will be a meet and greet with a brief discussion on design, color and planning. Students will have a chance to start their design that evening. During Saturday’s session, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., students will assemble their base sheets and load them into the kilns. On Sunday, students will see their fused sheets, drill any holes required for a lamp fitting and select a form on which to shape their shade. Sunday will also feature a review and discussion of technical information.

artistic partnership started when Shaffer needed an extra pair of hands to complete a mosaic mu-ral for an installation. O’Rourke

customer outside town limits is projected to increase from the current $32.30 to $32.62 per month, according to the proposed budget.

Other additions to next year’s budget include the proposal to purchase two new patrol cars for the police department, which are expected to be financed. The proposed budget also allows for $9,000 in the police department for upgrades to the department’s radio system. These upgrades are needed to comply with new regulations mandated by the Federal Com-munications Commission (FCC).

Also included in the budget proposal is a 2-percent employee bonus.

The fire budget and Harmon Field budget are proposed to remain the same, with no tax increases proposed.

The proposed budget includes

a contribution to fund balance of $7,359, but that projection could change depending on what the town decides related to hiring a permanent town manager and the need for a new computer network server. Fire chief Joey Davis is currently serving as the town’s interim town manager.

The proposed budget expen-ditures of $4,130,620 are less than this year’s approved budget, which included $4,970,720 in expenditures.

The general fund is proposed to decrease from this year’s ap-proved budget of $1,775,503 to $1,623,975 for next year.

The water and sewer fund is also proposed to decrease from this year’s approved budget of $1,906,826 to $1,748,245 for next year.

Town council plans to hold budget work sessions later this month to discuss the budget pro-posal in detail. The town’s new budget year will begin July 1.

an ARTventure ever since. Whether it’s a chessboard,

lampshade or vessel , each piece has a new lesson to learn, O’Rourke and Shaffer said. “You get better every time you do it, even if it is the same thing,” they said.

As part of the South Caro-lina Arts Commission Artist in Residency program, O’Rourke and Shaffer create site-specific artwork made in part by their stu-dents. Their pieces can be found in the City of North Charleston and at various schools in the Carolinas. They also consult for the glass industry.

They exhibit in local juried fine art shows, gift shops and art galleries throughout the South-east. Shaffer is program director for Art in the Park Greenville and serves on the S.C. National Heritage Corridor, Anderson County board.

When not teaching or in their studio, they can be found enjoying the downtown of Greenville, S.C.,

O’Rourke’s hometown, where they live.

Advance registration for all classes and workshops is required.

Saluda shuffles budget to find funds for fire departmentby Samantha Hurst

Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden announced Monday, May 14 the city would adjust tax rates to ac-commodate additional revenues for the fire department without actually increasing taxes.

“I know I’ve said this before but we’ve got a great [fire] de-partment. We’ve got some EMTs, for example, that I’d rather work on me than most doctors. These guys work hard and they’re go-ing to need the funding,” Bais-den said.

Saluda Fi-nance Officer Ron Cole said what commis-sioners will do is lower the city tax rate from 55 to 54 cents per $100,000 valuation and increase the fire tax from 5.5 to 6.5 cents for any Saluda resident living in Polk County.

Cole said the one-cent in-crease at a 98 percent collection rate amounts to an additional $9,300 allocation for the fire department.

“We had previously projected to have $17,000 for our contin-gency fund and so we will take the $9,000 out of that fund. I think the board feels comfortable with that decision,” Cole said. “Hopefully we’ll have another mild winter like this year and not need the contingency monies.”

Saluda is currently renegoti-ating the fire department’s con-tract, which previously stated it would be one cent less than the Polk County rate. Cole said the city plans to do away with that agreement and leave it to the Saluda Board of Commissioners to determine the fire tax rate aside from the county rate.

Saluda last increased its fire tax from 6 to 8 cents in 2002. In budget year 2010, the reevalua-tion of property values dropped the Saluda fire tax to 5.5 cents because the Henderson County

tax dropped from 8 cents to 6.5 cents. The Saluda tax rate contract currently calls for the town’s rate to be one cent lower than the county’s rate. For budget year 2012 it increased from 6.5 to 7.5 in Henderson County, but remained 5.5 in Polk. The depart-ment worked with a total budget of $309,000 this year, with about $52,000 coming from Saluda’s 5.5 percent tax rate and the rest from Polk and Henderson coun-

ties.Saluda Fire

Chief Shane Bradley origi-nally requested a fire tax in-crease April 9. He said he’s pleased with the commis-sion’s decision.

“We’re real glad the city is working with us to help us come up with the extra funds. We just want to make sure we are able to provide the same level of service that we provide now,” Bradley said.

With the 2013 budget year, Saluda Fire will no longer receive assistance from a 2008 FEMA SAFER (Staffing For Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) grant that has helped fund at least a portion of the salaries for two full-time employees over the last five years.

Currently, three full-time 24-hour shift firefighters run the department with the help of ap-proximately 35 volunteers.

The department, Bradley said, also maintains a dive team and a swift water rescue team, as well as high-angle certification for steep rescues near areas such as Big Bradley Falls.

In May 2011 the department went through a N.C. Depart-ment of Insurance ratings test. While official results have not returned, Saluda did verbally hear from the department that it was able to improve its ISO rating from 7 to 5.

“…we’ve got a great [fire] department…. These guys work hard and they’re going to need the funding.”

Tryon Little Theater committee gathers at SunnydaleGathering on Sunnydale’s

porch recently, members of the Tryon Little Theater (TLT) Sun-nydale committee said it didn’t feel much like work.

“It was a beautiful afternoon, an historic setting, and bright red geraniums were blooming around us by the bucketsful. It all added a certain charm to the proceed-ings, which is what we hope the property can offer the community – a charming place to host an event,” said committee member Susie Kocher. “TLT is so lucky to have been given this amazing building and we’re all working hard to keep it a desirable venue.”

Sunnydale was given to TLT by Bob and Jackie Lane, who restored the building to its for-mer grandeur. Many locals will remember the proms, dinner dances and special celebrations held at the log cabin, and it was TLT’s Sunnydale committee members meet on the porch to discuss projects.

the Lanes’ wish that Sunnydale reclaim its reputation as a com-munity gathering spot.

Kocher says the building has already been used for a couple of business meetings, as well as a few weddings and other area celebrations like TDDA’s recent April Fool’s Festival, which sponsored a Jam Session and a Masquerade Ball, “which is a wonderful example of how Sunnydale can serve the com-munity,” she said. “We have a few weddings booked in June, as well as a local non-profit event and I’m sure the Lanes

are pleased that the grand old building is coming to life again.”

“There’s always an ongoing list of things to be done, like watering plants, re-setting light-ing, mopping floors and cleaning windows, and showing prospec-tive clients the property, so it’s an ongoing job to make sure all bases are covered,” Kocher continued.

To rent Sunnydale, please contact Tryon Little Theater at 828-859-2466. Leave a message, and someone from the committee will get back to you. You can also visit www.tltinfo.org for more information.

Fear. It is a common word and experience, and lately there seems to be a lot of it going around. The English definition of fear is “a dis-tressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined.” (dic-tionary.com) Therefore this emotion is usually elicited by something we do not know or do not understand, something outside our usual set of experiences. Over the past several weeks, we have seen how fear has played a major role in determining civil policy, and we can anticipate an increase in fear-mongering as we move through the next few months to the presidential election.

Needless to say, we need a way to cope with fear – from threats real or imagined – and

since many of the political arguments are being cast in religious terms we need to understand what the word “fear” really means.

In the Bible the word “fear” has several meanings. The Hebrew word “yirah” means “awe, reverence, respect and devotion,” and it became translated in the King James Version of the Bible as “fear of the Lord.” In ancient Greek, the word “phobos,” meaning “panic, fear, terror and flight from danger” was used in Bibli-cal translations to describe an overwhelming emotional reaction to an encounter with the divine. It is unfortunate that our response to God in Western culture has become far more associated with “phobos” than “yirah,” and it

saddens me to no end that for many people the benevolent and gracious God revealed in Jesus Christ continues to be ascribed the characteristics of the Greek god Daimos, the god of vengeance and destruction and the brother of Phobos.

A major deficiency in our interpretation of Biblical fear lies in the fact that a terrified response to God is entirely counter to the Gospel. Begin-ning with the archangel’s an-nouncement to the shepherds on the night of Jesus’ birth, “Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people” (Luke 2:10), the message of the Gospel has been that we should live in “yirah” of God, but not in “phobos.” Jesus told his disciples, “Fear not,

little flock; for it is your Fa-ther’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

The key to not falling into a frightened response to God is given in the first letter of John: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not per-fected in love.” (1 John 4:18)

Love is the answer, and that love models the abso-lute, unconditional, self-giving love that God demon-strates to all people in Jesus Christ. Godly love is a choice made for the well-being of the other – even when “the other” is someone entirely different from us.

In Jesus’ story of the Good Samaritan this kind of absolute, unconditional, self-giving love is unequivo-cally defined. A Jew who had been robbed, beaten and

left for dead was ignored by those who should have helped him, but did not. But a Samaritan, a man for whom contact with a Jew was anathema, stopped, aided and supported the injured man despite their differences. The Samaritan demonstrated true Godly love for the other rather than fear. And Jesus said, “Go and do likewise.”

It is very easy for human beings to act out of fear, but it is not Christian. Fear does not reflect or demonstrate the true nature of God’s love for us, nor the love we are told to have for one another.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongue’s roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascar’s primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemur’s natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Fear. It is a common word and experience, and lately there seems to be a lot of it going around. The English definition of fear is “a dis-tressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined.” (dic-tionary.com) Therefore this emotion is usually elicited by something we do not know or do not understand, something outside our usual set of experiences. Over the past several weeks, we have seen how fear has played a major role in determining civil policy, and we can anticipate an increase in fear-mongering as we move through the next few months to the presidential election.

Needless to say, we need a way to cope with fear – from threats real or imagined – and

since many of the political arguments are being cast in religious terms we need to understand what the word “fear” really means.

In the Bible the word “fear” has several meanings. The Hebrew word “yirah” means “awe, reverence, respect and devotion,” and it became translated in the King James Version of the Bible as “fear of the Lord.” In ancient Greek, the word “phobos,” meaning “panic, fear, terror and flight from danger” was used in Bibli-cal translations to describe an overwhelming emotional reaction to an encounter with the divine. It is unfortunate that our response to God in Western culture has become far more associated with “phobos” than “yirah,” and it

saddens me to no end that for many people the benevolent and gracious God revealed in Jesus Christ continues to be ascribed the characteristics of the Greek god Daimos, the god of vengeance and destruction and the brother of Phobos.

A major deficiency in our interpretation of Biblical fear lies in the fact that a terrified response to God is entirely counter to the Gospel. Begin-ning with the archangel’s an-nouncement to the shepherds on the night of Jesus’ birth, “Fear not: for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which shall be to all people” (Luke 2:10), the message of the Gospel has been that we should live in “yirah” of God, but not in “phobos.” Jesus told his disciples, “Fear not,

little flock; for it is your Fa-ther’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

The key to not falling into a frightened response to God is given in the first letter of John: “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not per-fected in love.” (1 John 4:18)

Love is the answer, and that love models the abso-lute, unconditional, self-giving love that God demon-strates to all people in Jesus Christ. Godly love is a choice made for the well-being of the other – even when “the other” is someone entirely different from us.

In Jesus’ story of the Good Samaritan this kind of absolute, unconditional, self-giving love is unequivo-cally defined. A Jew who had been robbed, beaten and

left for dead was ignored by those who should have helped him, but did not. But a Samaritan, a man for whom contact with a Jew was anathema, stopped, aided and supported the injured man despite their differences. The Samaritan demonstrated true Godly love for the other rather than fear. And Jesus said, “Go and do likewise.”

It is very easy for human beings to act out of fear, but it is not Christian. Fear does not reflect or demonstrate the true nature of God’s love for us, nor the love we are told to have for one another.

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Free concert by North Sea Gas at TFAC on May 20The Scottish band North

Sea Gas, known worldwide for its great instrumental music and three-part harmonies, will perform at the Tryon Fine Arts Center on Sunday, May 20 at 2 p.m. The program, which will be followed by a reception at the Lanier Library, is free and everyone is welcome.

One of Scotland’s most popu-lar folk bands, the North Sea Gas trio, Ronnie MacDonald, Grant Simpson and Dave Gilfillan, play guitars, fiddles, bousouki whistles, bodhrans and banjos, adding vocals and good hu-mor to their performances. The group has recorded 15 albums and has received gold and silver awards from the Scottish music industry. It has performed fre-quently at the world-renowned Edinburgh Festival and makes regular tours throughout Europe,

Aust ra l ia and North America, but their largest audience, an es-timated 800 mil-lion, was on Chi-nese television.

Lead singer Dave Gilfillan, who plays guitar, banjo and man-dola, has a repu-tation for rousing sing-along vocals and heartfelt bal-lads as well as his tongue-in-cheek humor.

Guitarist Ron-nie MacDonald began with the band 23 years ago but took a break of 15 years with his own band in Australia before returning to North Sea Gas six years ago.

Fiddler Grant Simpson grew

north sea gas

up with music in Lossiemouth, Scotland and has always been a full-time musician. He also enjoys rugby football and is a keen student of Scottish history.

The performance is spon-

sored by the Lanier Library and made possible by a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation and the Kirby Fund.

RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST

remember Whenby Garland Goodwin

When I was a boy I learned that “telling a story” meant telling a lie. Little white lies were thus “stories.” Also, most of the “stories” we read or were told were actually some kind of “fairy tale,” not about real people but imaginary characters.

When I began writing these “Remember When” columns I was relying on my memory to tell completely factual stories about real people, all from my personal experience. I usually got it right and only my Aunt Mildred would correct some details from time to time. Then as I began to share things told to me by others who liked my columns and wanted something put in them, I began to be regarded as a historian.

Perhaps it was my selection by the late Betty Frost to head the Polk County Historical Association that fueled that notion, but I soon had to protest that I am just a storyteller, not a real historian like Anna Con-ner or Mike McCue. I have always been quick to correct the myths and misunderstandings that found their way into my recollections. After all, they usually make another column!

Many times the “corrections” are made over lunch or on a grand tour of some portion of Our Area. This time it came in a formal let-ter, beautifully typed and arranged

on the page, stating positively that Grace Coolidge never lived in Our Area, but was a frequent visitor to the home of Mrs. Florence Adams atop White Oak Mountain. Sandy Taylor was bothered by my trifling with the facts, but offered to show me the ruins of the Adams house and gardens.

T h e r o c k wal l s Sandy showed me were the same ones I had been shown some years ago as remnants of “Mrs. Coolidge’s house.” Sandy’s late husband Earl bought “the Skyuka side” of White Oak and developed the property starting in 1983. Sandy has done a great deal of research on the history of the mountain, and has passed her findings to Susan Speight, who is writing a book about it. Howard Williams said that Dewey McMur-ray took care of the Adams house and grounds for many years, living in a smaller house nearby.

When I checked with Howard Greene about his regular chats with Mrs. (General George) Marshall and Mrs. Coolidge on the porch at Oak Hall when he arrived for Kiwanis meetings, he said that he just talked with Mrs. Marshall. I must have added Mrs. Coolidge

Storytelling in a world of factsto his story because I was told by someone that she lived at Oak Hall after closing her house on the mountain. Howard also told me that Mrs. Coolidge’s limousine was kept at Clyde Pittman’s garage in Columbus, and she used a smaller car to go up on the mountain.

Even though I have always maintained that I am not a his-torian, but just a storyteller, I do not knowingly

pass along any false information. I have always done some verifi-cation and checking with people before writing my columns. What I write about a departed friend is not an obituary, but an appreciation based on my personal relationship with that person. You can depend on that, and you can go to the obit to get the important facts.

The historians write to share knowledge; I write to entertain. I have been invited often to “tell stories” at meetings and public gatherings and will be at the Meet-ing Place on May 18 to do just that. You may not learn much, but you might have to grin now and then. You might even see an opportunity to “set me straight” on something. Y’all come!
