The Norman Boyer Award, given annually for work in mental health, substance abuse and developmental disability service, was awarded to Dr. Robert Ratcliffe this year.

Ratcliffe was honored dur-ing a luncheon held Monday, May 23 at the Melrose Inn, sponsored by the Polk County Mental Health Advisory Board.

Stephen Cefalu, a clinical social worker who works with Ratcliffe at St. Luke’s Hospital in the geriatric psychiatry unit, introduced Ratcliffe, saying he needs no introduction with all he has accomplished.

Cefalu said Ratcliffe brought the center for behavioral medi-cine to St. Luke’s almost 15 years ago and has kept it thriv-

Polk County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Michael Capps wants to see how many community members would volunteer themselves and their horses to assist the sheriff’s office in various community activities.

Capps plans to host an informa-tional meeting regarding the creation

The first meeting will be aimed at casting a net to see who exactly is interested, Capps said.

Patrol volunteer applicants must be at least 21 years of age, a U.S. citizen and a resident of Polk County or an adjoining county. Applicants must have access to a horse, horse trailer and vehicle to pull, approved by the depart-ment for use in mounted patrol functions and training. A crimi-nal background check will be conducted on all applicants and those applying must complete the department-approved equestrian training program before being accepted into the mounted patrol.

The unit will be utilized in situations that do not involve dangerous activities, but it may be called upon for special details including search and rescue, crowd control and security, pa-rades, crime scene security and public relations.

“You know when you are walking through a dark park-ing lot with your family into a

community event and you see those officers on the horses,” Capps said. “it just makes you feel safer.”

Capps said he’d even like to see these volunteers helping on a regular basis at high school football games and other future

community events such as the Block House Steeplechase and

ing ever since. According to Cefalu, Ratcliffe has delivered close to half a century of psy-chiatric care all over North and South Carolina and humbly keeps his ac-complishments and autobiog-raphy locked away.

Dr. Ratcliffe earned bache-lor’s and mas-ter’s degrees in English from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Cefalu said. He gradu-ated from medical school at the University of Virginia. He was a professor of English at VMI and served in the military dur-ing Korea and Vietnam, among many other accomplishments.

At one point, Dr. Ratcliffe essentially ran the eastern North Carolina mental health division,

said Cefalu. While providing services at St. Luke’s, Rat-cliffe also provided services at Broughton Hospital, and he was once named the physician of the year in Alamance County.

Cefalu said Ratcliffe con-ducts himself in an extreme-ly admirable manner, not just in psy-chiatry but in l i fe . Cefalu said Ratcliffe i s a l i f e -long teacher and imparts knowledge to others all the

while being humble and unas-suming.

Ratcliffe learns the first names of everyone he encoun-ters and uses them, said Cefalu. Ratcliffe is also generous with his time and resources, Cefalu said.

“It doesn’t matter that his IQ

“It doesn’t matter that [Dr. Ratcliffe’s] IQ is 300 times your own, he is always seeking input from others and works hard to make everyone feel equal.”

the Blue Ridge Barbecue and Music Festival.

“It gets the public involved with the sheriff’s office. We’re here to work for the public but anything we can do to interact with the public and get the public to recognize us obviously helps the sheriff’s office,” Capps said.

Lt. Capps first mentioned the prospect of starting a mounted patrol about a year ago. He said it gives the office another set of eyes during events and an increased presence. With Polk County being such an equestrian area, the office has had a lot of people interested in the idea, Capps said.

Henderson County developed its unit 14 years ago.

“We turned to Henderson County for a lot of their infor-mation because they have had a successful unit up there for quite a while,” Capps said. “As

for the kind of members we’re looking for, you are going to be representing the sheriff’s depart-ment so you have to be of good character.”

Sue Pruitt, an equestrian train-er and instructor, will guide the volunteers through some basic checks for their and their horses’ skill levels.

Capps said Pruitt would also work closely with Henderson County’s unit to mirror some of the procedures they use. An out-side third party, Wallace Mooney, will provide the final clearance for horse and patrolman, Capps said.

“This isn’t something I want to throw together and it be some rinky-dink kind of thing,” Capps said. “There is going to be quite of bit of training involved but I don’t want that to deter anyone.”

Patrol members will continue to go through training at least once a month. Getting certified for the volunteer positions could likely take training two to three times a month.

is 300 times your own,” Cefalu said, “he is always seeking in-put from others and works hard to make everyone feel equal.”

Cefalu congratulated Rat-cliffe on receiving the honor, saying he will always be re-membered as a key figure in mental health services.

“It’s a real honor,” said Dr. Rat-cliffe after accepting the award. “It’s a special honor because I knew Dr. Boyer very well.”

Ratcliffe said he accepts the Norman Boyer award on be-half of the St. Luke’s geriatric psychiatry unit because if they did not exist, “I certainly would not be here.”

Ratcliffe was joined at the luncheon by his team and his wife, Judy Ratcliffe, along with many community and profes-sional people of Polk County.

Polk County Mental Health Advisory Board Chair Kathy Romich introduced the pro-gram and presented a plaque to Dr. Ratcliffe.

She said the Norman Boyer award originated to honor Polk County residents who promote mental health, developmental disabilities and substance abuse services in the community, just as Dr. Norman Boyer did in the 1970s. That was when Boyer began the first outpatient program in Columbus, which eventually moved to Tryon. Dr. Boyer was a psychiatrist who was employed with Broughton Hospital and was given the task to develop outpatient programs in Polk, Henderson and Ruth-erford counties, Romich said.

“(Boyer) was instrumental in obtaining the old St. Luke’s Hospital [the Jervey-Palmer building in Tryon] and begin-ning the Meeting Place Senior Center,” Romich said. “He was on the Rutherford-Polk Mental Health, Developmen-tal Disability and Substance Abuse Area Program Board

• Ratcliffe(Continued from page 4)

and served for many years on the Polk County Mental Health Advisory Board.”

Previous recipients of the Norman Boyer Award, many of whom attended Monday’s luncheon, include:

• Diane Poague;• Rob and Leslie Huntley; • Rob Fuller;• Cathy Brooks;• Eloise Thwing;• Sue Rhodes;• Pat Dockendorf;• Stan Bayne;• Jeff Carter;• Rachel Ramsey;• Esther Boblit and• Dr. Gordon Schneider.

CEOs rank North Carolina second in U.S. for businessNorth Carolina is the second

best state in the country for business, according to a survey of 550 CEOs across the country.

ChiefExecutive.net released its annual report on the best and worst states for business, according to CEOs. For the seventh straight year, the report lists Texas in the top spot and California at the bottom. South Carolina was ranked eighth, up from 10th last year.

North Carolina’s position did not change from last year in the survey, which asks CEOs to consider three criteria: taxes and regulation; workforce qual-ity and living environment. On a scale of 1 to 10, North Carolina scored a 6.89 on taxes and regulation, while South Carolina was at 7.14. On work-force quality, North Carolina had a 7.66 and South Carolina was at 6.69. North Carolina had its highest score on living

environment at 8.53, while South Carolina was at 7.69. North Carolina had the highest score in the country for living environment, which considers crime rates, public education, public health, real estate costs, transportation and arts and cultural insti-tutions.

***Home sales

increased in areas of Western North Caro-lina in the first four months of this year compared to the same period last year, accord-ing to figures from the N.C. Mountains Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS shows Henderson County had 89 home sales in March and 77 in April. Transylvania County had 28 home sales in March and 19 in April. Over the first four months of this year, Tran-

sylvania County had 85 sales compared to 77 from January to April of 2010. Cathy Jackson of Cathy Jackson Realty in Sa-luda said sales have followed the same trend in Polk County, which has had 12 home sales through the first four months

t h i s y e a r , compared to just five sales last year.

***Real estate sales have not

shown the same improvement in Upstate South Carolina. According to data from South Carolina Realtors, sales in Spartanburg County in April were down 33 percent from the same period in 2010. South Carolina Realtors reports there were 193 homes sold in the county last month, compared to 287 during the same month last year.

***District Attorney Jeff Hunt

has ordered a criminal investiga-tion to determine whether Hen-dersonville attorney Sam Neill mishandled his clients’ money.

Neill, a former candidate for the 11th Congressional District in Western North Carolina, was disbarred Mon-day, May 16 by a Wake County Superior Court judge for mis-appropriating a client’s money. The ruling came after Neill voluntarily surrendered his law license.

The N.C. Attorney Gener-al’s Office has agreed to carry out the criminal investigation. Hunt chose not to conduct the investigation himself due to a potential conflict of interest. He noted that he and Neill had been close friends going back to their days in college and law school.

Around the Region



North Carolina’s Vacation Rental Act protects consumers who rent a vacation property for fewer than 90 days. Under the law, the land-lord must give you a written rental agreement that spells out:

• Your rights and obligations as a tenant, including what you’ll pay

• The rights and obligations of the landlord and/or real estate brokers

• The amount of security deposit required and how the deposit will be held

• Any additional fees required to rent the property

Once you sign a vacation rental agreement, you and the landlord

agree to abide by its terms. Landlords are required by law to keep the property safe and habitable.

So, what happens if your vacation gets cut short by the threat of a hurricane or forest fire?

Your landlord may offer you insurance on your vacation rental, which would cover the cost of any nights you miss due to a mandatory evacuation. If you’re ordered to evacuate and you were not given a chance to purchase insurance, the landlord is required to refund your money for each night you can’t stay at the rental property. But if you’re offered rental insurance and don’t take it, then the owner isn’t required to refund your money in case of a mandatory evacuation.

If you rented the property through a real estate or property management company and you have been unable to get them to address your complaint or question, contact the North Carolina Real Estate Com-mission at 919-875-3700. If you’re thinking about renting a vacation home our of state, it’s a good idea to contact the Attorney General’s Of-fice in that state to learn about your rights there as a consumer.

Barbecue festival seeking 100 additional volunteers

Volunteer coordinator Allison Gillespie needs 100 more vol-unteers to assist during this year’s Blue Ridge Barbecue Festival.

This is the 18th year of the event, which takes ideally 350 volunteers to run well, Gillespie told our staff.

“We wouldn’t have a festival if it weren’t for the volunteers. We’d have long lines, impatient people – people wouldn’t get in as quickly,” Gillespie said. “The volunteers are crucial to put-ting this on. Anywhere from 15-20,000 people attend and this is completely run by volunteers.”

This event is more than just a barbecue… it says a lot about the closeness of our community to see so many willing bodies come out to pick up trash or stand in the heat of June to sell tickets.

Volunteers work four-hour shifts and are asked to check in about 30 minutes prior to their shift. Shifts run from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., 2 – 6 p.m. and 6 – 11 p.m. on both Friday and Saturday.

Volunteers receive T-shirts, free admission for both days and a food voucher that can be redeemed for a hot dog or a hamburger, a drink or water and chips.

To find out more information or to fill out your volunteer ap-plication, visit www.blueridgebbqfestival.com or visit the chamber office in Lynn to submit a paper form. Gillespie asks you to leave the best contact number possible.

Keep cool when making travel plans

Many families are cutting back on expenses these days, and that can include cutting back on sum-mer travel. If you’re planning a getaway with your family this summer, make sure you get your money’s worth.

Travel packages and clubsYou’ve probably gotten a fax,

phone call or email offering an in-credible price for what sounds like a dream vacation, or been offered a “free” vacation if you join a travel club. But these advertisements and offers often fail to tell you that you’ll have to pay added fees or take an unwanted high-pressure timeshare tour. And in many cases, travelers arrive at their destination to discover that the accomodations aren’t quite what they were prom-ised. You may also be hit with extra charges like a bed fee, meals fee or even a fee for sheets and towels.

A vacation isn’t free if you have to pay for something to get it, and offers that seem too good to be true almost always are. Before you agree to a vacation package or travel club offer:

• Study the agreement carefully. Instead of being swayed by prom-ised discounts, look at the total cost you’ll have to pay.

• Don’t give in to high-pressure sales tactics that push you to say yes on the spot, and check to see if the offer includes a refund policy in case you need to cancel.

• Remember that you have three days to cancel under North Carolina law, if you end up buy-ing a travel club membership at a hotel or any place other than the company’s office.

Polk soccer ends playoff run with 2-1 loss to Shelbyby Jordan DeVere

On Wednesday, May 18, the Polk County Wolverines played host to the Shelby Golden Lions in the third round of the state 2A playoffs. The game went back and forth, with the Wolverines inches away from advancing to the next round.

There was a lot of nervous tension in the air as the game began, but once the ball got roll-ing the Wolverines played as if it was just another game. Polk’s early momentum hit a snag as defender Natalie Hilbig injured her leg with 23:57 remaining in the first half and sat out the rest of the game.

Despite this setback, the Polk offense stepped up and struck the first blow as Brittany Phipps scored 50 seconds after Hilbig went down, giving Polk a 1-0 lead. Polk’s offense con-tinued to keep up the pressure

as several shots went just wide. Shelby was able to get back

in the game with a shot from out-side the box with 7:57 remaining in the half and the game went into the second half tied 1-1.

At the start of the second half, the Golden Lions came out with a renewed offensive intensity and forced Polk’s keeper Donna Every to make several saves to keep the game tied at 1-1.

As the result of a foul called inside Polk’s penalty area, Shel-by was awarded a free kick. The Golden Lion’s striker didn’t miss and this proved to be the deciding goal in the game.

Polk had many chances to equalize the score, including two shots that were mere inches off as they both hit the post, but the game ended with the score 2-1 in favor of the Golden Lions.

Aurora Lodge, Seminar Hall on Saluda’s Tour of Homes June 4aurora loDge

Aurora Lodge and Seminar Hall are two of the homes that will be featured on the Historic Saluda Committee’s Tour of Homes Saturday, June 4 from 1 – 5 p.m. The tour is part of Saluda’s 130th Anniversary Celebration and is a fundraiser for preservation projects in Saluda.

Historic Smith Hill has been chosen as the site of the tour. Six homes, a teahouse and two additional smaller buildings will be on the tour, all within walking distance of each other.

In 1914, Dr. D. Lesesne Smith of Spartanburg started the Infants’ and Children’s Sanitarium in Saluda as a place where “anxious parents could get skilled attention, careful diet and treatment for their suffering children during the hot sum-mer months.” Dr. Smith’s wife owned two houses in Saluda, so he had a base from which to operate.

Dr. Smith also had under his care the Spartanburg Baby Hos-pital, established in the same year. From an original eight-

room cottage, the sanitarium grew to 12 cottages, a central dining room, a diet kitchen, an assembly hall and examination

and treatment rooms. Dr. Smith, along with Dr. Frank Howard Richardson of New York and

Black Mountain, returning from a meeting of the Southern Med-ical Association, decided that general practitioners needed to be trained in childcare.

From the hospital in Spartan-burg and the sanitarium in Sa-luda grew the idea of a Southern Pediatric Seminar, where from 1921 – 1959, it is estimated that between 3,000 - 4,000 doctors from all over the country and several foreign countries came to Smith Hill in Saluda to study the latest in pediatrics during two weeks every summer.

When the seminar closed in 1959, the property was divided among Dr. Smith’s four chil-dren. Some of the buildings were torn down, but the ones that remain are now permanent homes and all but one on the tour are still owned and now lived in by granddaughters and other relatives. The houses have all been restored in the last five years.

Aurora Lodge (Hamer House) was the first house on Smith Hill and was a summer house for Colonel Sloan of Charleston. One of his grand-daughters, Clara Smith Carter, now owns the property. The high-ceilinged home has four fireplaces. Babies and their

nurses stayed here. The house has gone through several ren-ovations through the years. Vivian Luke of Gainesville has been instrumental in the interior design of many of the rooms. Cameron was used as the kitchen for Aurora Lodge, and the help stayed here.

Seminar Hall was the last building erected on Smith Hill. The many windowed lecture hall was designed to accommo-date student chairs, and a raised platform at one end provided every student a clear view of the lecturer. Dr. Keitt Smith gave the building to his daughter, Lesesne Dickson, and her hus-band, Gene and they converted it to a summer cottage. In 2000, they sold it to Lynn and Mike Cass, who began living there fulltime in 2009.

Tickets for the stroll are available at city hall, His-toric Thompson’s Store and Heartwood Gallery in Saluda. Parking is available at the First Baptist Church at the corner of Carolina and Henderson Streets, and shuttle vans will be available to take you to Smith Hill for the tour.

For more information, con-tact Lynn Cass at 828-749-1975.

Tracey Schmidt to perform afternoon of poetry and music at The Book Shelf

Tracey Schmidt, a past resident of Tryon, will read from her book of poetry, “I Have Fallen in Love with the World,” on Saturday, May 28 beginning at 3 p.m. Schmidt will be accompanied by a local musician and she will lead a poetry writing workshop from 4 – 6 p.m. following the reading. Both events are free and open to the public.

“I began writing when I lived on a 100-acre horse farm in Tryon - I was very moved by the beauty of the pair of hawks near my house, the herd of deer that lived in the woods,” said Schmidt. “I would find their nesting spots and their trails, and sometimes they would come into the fields by my house and gaze at me with their enormous, shy eyes.”

The event at The Book Shelf is a preview of Schmidt’s tal-ents, which include photographs that will be displayed at the Tryon Fine Arts Center later this summer. Schmidt’s poetry

book, published in December by Logosophia Books, includes many of her photographs.

For those interested in signing up for a lengthier poetry course, Schmidt will teach a four-week class this summer at Montford Books in Asheville, followed by a fall creativity class.

TR&HC awards scholarshipsSix years ago, at the urging of

board of director member Nancy Z. Wilson, the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club created a scholarship fund for worthy equestrian-oriented graduating seniors and those attending institutions of higher education.

As criteria, all applicants must be involved in equine activities in the Polk County/Upstate region. This program is in addition to the TR&HC scholarship available through the Polk County Community Foundation.

The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club Scholarship winner, ad-ministered through the Polk County Community Foundation, is Micah Parsons.

The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club also recognizes Megan Betzel, a senior at Landrum High School; Madeleine Fahn-ley, attending UNC – Asheville;

and Ashley Monk, a rising sophomore at Gardner – Webb, as the recipients of the 2011 TR&HC Educational Scholar-ship. The three students selected will receive a portion from the $5,000 scholarship fund. All three exemplify the spirit of the award by knowing that eques-trian activities teach hard work, dedication, time management, responsibility and teamwork.

The TR&HC scholarship selection committee consists of Shelley Griffiths, Sara Bell and Ryan Whitson.

The TR&HC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Dona-tions are tax deductible.

For more information, call 828-859-6109 or mail donations to: 289 South Trade Street, Try-on, N.C. 28782 with “scholar-ship” marked in the memo line.

Mental Health America celebrates Mental Health Month

May is Mental Health Month, and Mental Health America wants to raise awareness about the one in four American adults who live with a diagnosable, treatable mental health condi-tion and make people aware that they can go on to live full and productive lives.

Mental Health Month was created more than 50 years ago by Mental Health America to educate the community about mental health conditions and the importance of mental well-ness.

One theme of this year’s ac-tivities, “Do More for 1 in 4,” is a call to action to help the more than 54 million adult Americans who have a diagnosable mental health condition.

“We want everyone to know that while mental health and substance use conditions are

common, they are extremely treatable and individuals go on to recover and lead full and productive lives,” said David Shern, Ph.D., president and CEO of Mental Health America.

Dr. Shern said too many people living with a mental health condition never seek or receive help because of stigma, lack of information, cost or lack of health care insurance cover-age – as high as 50 percent.

“We need to change that,” he said. “It’s important that ev-eryone have access to treatment and services because we have a tremendous amount of knowl-edge about how to identify, treat and even prevent mental health conditions.”

Dr. Shern noted there are many programs available in the

workplace and the community that provide help and assis-tance to individuals who have a mental health or substance use condition. Mental Health America’s more than 300 af-filiates also provide critical resources and services in their communities. For a directory of affiliates, go to http://www.nmha.org/go/searchMHA.

The federal mental health parity and addiction equity act, passed in 2008, also expands access to care. That law, which applies to groups of more than 50 employees, doesn’t require coverage for mental health and substance use conditions. But if an insurance policy includes coverage for these conditions, that coverage must be on a par with coverage for other medical conditions. Higher deductibles, steeper co-pays, visit limits and

other restrictions are no longer allowed for mental health and substance use treatment.

“The parity law and the new health reform law recognize what we have known for a number of years: mental health is integral to our overall health and well-being,” Shern said.

“Mental health is a major factor in all aspects of our lives. We see it play out in our rela-tionships, in our performance at work or school and in health issues. All of us live with these daily threats to our mental health, whether it is major trag-edies or common life changes.”

Dr. Shern said it could be someone coping with the stress of care giving or divorce or los-ing a loved one.

“Sometimes, people are dealing with depression asso-ciated with a chronic disease such as diabetes, cancer or hypertension. Or it could be a veteran struggling with the

invisible wounds of war. And traumatic events like the BP oil spill can take a huge toll on mental health.”

Habitat ranks as sixth largest homebuilder on ‘Builder’ top 100 listThermal Belt Habitat for

Humanity’s work to provide affordable housing in Polk County and the Landrum area has helped Habitat for Human-ity International rank as the sixth largest homebuilder on the top 100 list of “Builder Magazine.” With 6,032 clos-ings in 2010, this is the second

time Habitat for Humanity has placed in the top 10.

“Our placement on the Builder 100 list is a testament to what can be accomplished when people work together,” said Larry Gluth, senior vice president of U.S. and Canada for Habitat for Humanity In-ternational. “So many families

in the United States and around the world face an incredible need for affordable housing, and this need only increases during challenging economic times. Habitat works every day to help these families, and we are grateful for the generosity of our donors, volunteers and advocates who have joined our efforts to help families obtain safe, decent and affordable homes and to strengthen com-munities.”

“Since 1984 we have built more than 63 homes,” said Manfred Walter, Thermal Belt Habitat’s president. “We are thrilled that our work to pro-

vide affordable housing has contributed to Habitat’s rank-ing as the sixth largest builder in the United States. We are proud to help families obtain affordable housing and we thank our supporters for their commitment to helping fami-lies in need.”

The Builder 100 list is an an-nual compilation of the largest homebuilders in the country. In 2009, Habitat for Humanity ranked eighth on the list with 5,294 closings, marking the first time the organization made it to the top 10.

One of the lesser-known ‘hor-ror’ tales from the Corner is one concerning a young man named Ben being scared out of his wits by a cemetery with a grave on fire.

The incident occurred in the early part of the 20th century when the young man of 12 be-gan staying with relatives due to his father’s de-bilitating illness and the inability of his mother to care properly for the boy.

There were two older children in the home where Ben was staying. Since one of the other children was prone to pick on younger chil-dren, Ben and others would try to avoid him whenever possible.

That’s why Ben many times would walk ahead of the other children to and from the school-house. There was a short cut path between roads that curved around a church building, then led be-tween the walls of the church and the cemetery.

Several times during the school year, there would be an evening meeting at the school building. Ben would choose to walk alone along the path in early evening before the meeting, then again later at night coming home.

On one dark Friday night, as he walked along the path, he happened to look toward the graves within a few feet of the edge of the road that passed by the church.

To his horror, one of the graves was on fire. At first glance, it

seemed that the flames were rising a foot and more in the air. Was the fiery devil himself in the cemetery, dancing on one of the graves? He took a very quick second look, then ran his hardest home.

He arrived at the house a few minutes later, very frightened and out of breath. Since he had left the meeting and hurried home

b y h i m s e l f , no one was in the house. Too scared to open the door and go in, he stood by a high fence on

the side of the road until the oth-ers came home.

Early the next morning, as the children started to school, he ran ahead of the others to see what had happened to the grave that was on fire the night before.

When he got to the spot, the only sign of a fire he found was a pile of ashes about 10 feet from one of the graves, where the people who were cleaning off the cemetery the day before had burned the brush, weeds and grass they had cut from around the graves.

He never told the story to any of his schoolmates. He was afraid that, if the story was told, he might be laughed at.

He also felt that if the other students heard the story, they would tell of ghostly sights and sounds that others had seen and heard as they passed along the path, and some youngsters might become too frightened to go to school in the day time along the lonely path.

St. Luke’s Hospital honors volunteersPictured, from left, are Marcie Mack, Frank Williams and Clyde Plumley. (photo submitted)

The Women’s Auxiliary of St. Luke’s Hospital was formed in 1948. The auxiliary had a canning committee that canned and preserved food from their gardens for hospital use.

There are many ways the hos-pital’s volunteers contribute to St. Luke’s Hospital. The Cherry Smock volunteers are respon-sible for the delivery of juice

and daily newspapers to patients each morning. There are also volunteers who are responsible for delivery of patient mail and flowers each afternoon.

St. Luke’s Hospital volunteers who share their time and talents to make a difference in the com-munity were recently honored with a luncheon.

Those honored for 50 hours

of service were Joan Feagan and Maria Panther.

Those honored for 100 hours of service were Donna Campbell, Marie Constance, Chuck Hon-eycutt, Beverly Lewenski, Clyde Plumley and Frank Williams.

Honored for 250 hours of service was Marcie Mack.
