amazing,” said Ollis, who for many years has organized the Henderson County Special Olympics. “The whole point was for the athletes to have a good time and they did.”

Led by the Polk County Honor Guard, part icipants marched in an opening cer-emony to the cheers of bleach-ers filled with Polk County High School students, staff and parents. Participant Alex Sluder ran in the torch with law enforcement off ic ia ls Seth Watkins, Jesse Chavez, Scott Hamby, Jason Sama and Michael Wheeler by his side.

After the ceremonial light-ing of the torch, each athlete broke off from their teams to start their first competitions.

On the track athletes could compete in the 200-meter run, 400-meter run, 200-meter walk, 4x100 relay, 4x400 relay and wheelchair races, among other events. On the field they tried their hands at the tennis ball throw, softball throw and shot put.

Athletes could also test their ability to jump in the long jump event.

PCHS students provided their help by running the events and escorting athletes to each event. The students did this as part of Project Unify, an effort launched by Special Olympics to foster respect, dignity and advocacy for people with intel-lectual disabilities. Bringing community members together in educational and athletic events, such as the Special Olympics spring games, fur-ther encourages this message.

Ollis said she hopes this year’s Special Olympics event would serve as a launching point for more volunteers to offer their time.

“We want to have Special Olympics sports available to our athletes throughout the year,” Ollis said. “All it takes is someone coming forward and saying they are open to

helping lead a sport – it could be cheerleading, basketball, bocce bawl.”

According to the Special Olympics of North Carolina website, athletes age 8 and above can compete in one of the 19 Olympic-style sports available in the state. Athletes typically train for eight weeks with one to two practices per

week. Those sports include basketball and cheerleading, bocce ball, bowling, equestri-an, golf, cycling, gymnastics, powerlifting, roller skating, soccer, tennis , vol leybal l , aquatics and more.

In an effort to support teachers and creativity in the classroom, Tryon Fine Arts Center’s Arts in Education Committee is working with businesses and individuals to award mini-grants of up to $500 each for arts related projects to educators in Polk County and upper Spartanburg County, S.C.

Simple applications for these grants, called “Be Inspired Grants” or “BIG,” will be avail-a b l e a t t h e schools and on the TFAC web-site beginning May 1.

A p p l i c a -tions must be del ivered to TFAC or post-m a r k e d b y Friday, May 31 at 5 p.m. to be considered for funding in the 2013-2014 school year. G r a n t s w i l l be announced by July 1 and checks will be awarded for the projects at a reception to be held at TFAC in late August.

K-12 teachers in Polk County and Spartanburg County District One Schools, as well as regis-tered non-public schools will be eligible for funding intended to support the arts in educa-tion. Teachers can seek funding for creative classroom projects involving elements of music, dance, sculpture, painting, draw-ing and other visual, literary, or performing arts. Some possible use of funding could be for art supplies, software, performances, instruments, visiting artists or workshops in which students are directly involved. Subject areas are not limited to fine arts, but could be core subjects such as science or math taught using ele-ments of the arts.

“We also have Directory of Creative Artists available for

teachers interested in bringing a professional into their class-room,” said Marianne Carruth, TFAC Director of Arts in Educa-tion. “This could be a great op-portunity to support students, teachers and artists all at once.”

Teachers will be asked to brief-ly describe the project, explaining how it will use the arts to enhance learning in the classroom, and describe the outcomes they wish

to achieve and provide an item-ized budget. If they receive the grant they will then complete a final report and return it to the Arts Center. The BIG grants are intended to be a simple pro-cess, with ac-countability.

In March the Arts in Educa-tion committee recommended that the board of directors vote to

put this project in motion imme-diately to allow teachers to plan ahead for the next school year. The project will be funded up to a total of $5,000 through private and corporate sponsorship.

Board president Tim Brannon said, “We want to help the dedi-cated creative teachers who might otherwise purchase educational supplies with their own personal funds or be unable to provide the arts experience. This program will also allow our donors to di-rectly support education through the arts.”

Questions concerning the BIG Grant project or the Creative Artist Directory can be directed to Marianne Carruth, TFAC Arts in Education director. You may reach her by phone at 828-859-8322 ext. 213 or by email at [email protected].

Homer C. CarderHomer Clint Carder Jr., 91, of

Columbus, passed away peacefully in his sleep on April 24, 2013. He was a resident of Tryon Estates.

Mr. Carder was born in Tarrant, Ala. on March 2, l922. He was the son of Homer C. Carder and Lex Ingram Carder.

Like his father, brother and sister he graduated from Auburn Univer-sity. He earned a degree in chemical engineering in 1943. He was active in the ROTC and was a member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.

Shortly after graduation Mr. Carder joined the United States Army and served as an Air Ob-servation pilot for the 209th Field

Artillery Battalion. He saw action in the Euro-pean, African and Mid-dle Eastern Theaters

before his discharge from active duty in 1946 as a First Lieutenant.

Upon completion of his military service, Mr. Carder joined the Mon-santo Chemical Company in 1946. He had a very successful career at Monsanto, the only job he ever had, eventually retiring from that com-pany in 1982 as a senior executive in St. Louis, Mo. He traveled the world for Monsanto advising on new plant construction, including visits to Russia and China during the midst of the Cold War.

In 1983 he moved from St. Louis to Tryon, with his wife Nadine L. “Wendy” Carder. Mr. Carder enjoyed a passion for golf and they built a home in Red Fox Country Club adjacent to the 13th green. He had a very active retirement, working first for H & R Block, and then volunteering extensively. He was president of the American Heart Association of Polk County, a mediator in family and civil disputes, and a director in the Rotary. He served two terms as president of the Congregation of The Congregational Church UCC of Tryon. Appropriately he was awarded Tryon’s “Second Wind Hall of Fame” for his extensive volunteer efforts.

He and Wendy were avid gour-mets and traveled to Europe where

they were trained in the culinary arts at world-renown cooking schools. They loved to entertain and had many parties focusing on their cooking and fine wines. Mr. Carder was a Certified Barbecue Judge and traveled regionally to competitions.

Mr. Carder is survived by his wife of 46 years, Wendy Carder; a son, Stephen Carder, of South Pasa-dena, Fla.; a sister, Sue Chichester of Spanish Fort, Ala.; stepsons, Greg Bowcott of San Diego, Cali. and Randy Bowcott of Waukegan, Ill.; three grandsons, one grand-daughter, two great-grandsons, and several nieces and nephews.

Obituaries He was predeceased by his par-ents; his brother, Eugene D. Carder and daughter, Carolyn Carder.

Burial services will be private. A Celebration of Life honoring Mr. Carder will take place on May 4 at 4 p.m. at Tryon Estates in Columbus, with a reception to follow.

The family suggests that me-morial tributes be made to The Alzheimer’s Association, The Hospice of the Carolina Foothills or The Congregational Church UCC, Tryon.

Good things from approval of the White Oak Equestrian DevelopmentTo the editor:

We’re all hoping that good things come to Polk County along with the just-approved White Oak Equestrian Devel-opment.

There should be many jobs for Polk County people. I’m told that Roger Smith has been very good about using Polk County craftsmen and mate-rials in other build-ing projects in the area in the 10 years he’s lived here. The equestrian development should also bring long-awaited things for the kids to do. That should be especially true if the developers bring to Polk County the “Saturday Night Lights” entertainment that they’ve brought to the Welling-ton, Fla. equestrian community.

In addition, developer Mark Bellissimo explained at the plan-ning board meeting, where the project was first unanimously approved, that in Wellington, they have a charitable giving program that raises money for local charities from the people who come to participate in and watch the many equestrian events.

I’m hoping that Mr. Bellis-simo will follow through and bring that wonderful program to Polk County, providing much needed new infusions of chari-table giving for our fine local charities, especially those that help the less fortunate in our community.

All of these sound like good ideas. But something else good, some other good ideas, came

with the approval of the White Oak equestrian development. The new board of commission-ers has finally found a situation in which they not only agreed with, but also promoted, sensible regulation.

After voting down noise controls perhaps eight years ago, and after heavily criticizing and voting down noise controls, lighting controls and vegetative buffers (screening) when they were proposed in the Unified Development Ordinance, our current board of commissioners

actually requested all those things regard-ing the equestrian development.

They requ i red noise limitations dur-

ing the day and stronger limita-tions overnight. They required controlled lighting that shines down on what is to be lighted and does not stray offsite to neighboring properties or up into the sky. And they required a 100’ setback between the proposed RV park and neigh-boring properties, as well as a berm with vegetation on top or a higher vegetative buffer if no berm is used.

These can now be great prec-edents that our new board of commissioners, themselves, unanimously required.

Let’s hope that our com-missioners’ new understanding and acceptance of reasonable, neighborly protections for our community becomes the great step forward that they can be.

And Mr. Bellissimo, if mean, stuffy ‘ol Mr. Jacobs doesn’t want that beautiful carousel in Wellington, please bring it up here to Polk County. We sure could have a lot of fun with it here.

- Renée McDermott, Tryon

Letter to the Editor

Special Olympics – good for your heart, good for our community

An inspiring thing happened at Polk County High School Tuesday, April 30.

For the first time in more than a handful of years, com-munity members from around the county joined on Polk County High School’s football field to host the county’s Special Olympics spring games.

Seeing so many people come together to make others feel special was overwhelming.

To think those people didn’t even know that’s what they were doing was more awe-inspiring. You see it really isn’t the “volunteers” who change lives through Special Olympics.

Ask just about anyone who’s ever handed out a ribbon, called runners to the starting line or offered water to an athlete, and they will tell you it’s the participants of Special Olympics who make the real impact.

Their enthusiasm for life is powerful. Each athlete on the field showed support for their peers, appreciation for those helping them and unabated joy at playing the game.

We should applaud Jane and Bruce Ollis, who fostered this event by pulling Polk County high school students to-gether to ensure athletes of all abilities had their turn on the field. Not only did they lead this event, but they are also sup-porting students in Project Unify, an effort to promote respect and advocacy for individuals with intellectual disabilities.

Jane said she hopes the Special Olympics’ spring games serves as a catalyst for Special Olympics sports to be held in Polk County throughout the year.

Why does it matter if these individuals participate in sports?

If you had been on the field Tuesday you would have seen the answer for yourself. These individuals have something vital to give our community. Their pureness of spirit leads to great things and we should support them every chance we get.

Many of the individuals standing atop the winners’ podiums contribute to this community through their work at Polk Vocational Services, their service in Polk County’s Aktion Club and their participation in school and church. We make a difference by supporting and encouraging them.

– Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin



TFAC improvementsTo the editor:

My wife and I attended the Jeremy Kittel Band Main Stage event recently and we saw for the first time the completed im-provements to the outside area of the Tryon Fine Arts Center.

Even though it was nigh time, the lighting was adequate to see and appreciate what has

been done. I was even more impressed than I was with the drawings of the plan when I first saw them a year or more ago.

The expanded onsite parking has been needed for so long and the plan does an exceptional job of getting the maximum utiliza-tion of the available space. And in addition, the changes make the baptist church parking lot much more convenient and available for TFAC events.

Hoping standards stay aliveTo the editor:

Hearing all that glorious pop music of the 40s at the Community Chorus program Sunday afternoon was a joy beyond compare for us oldsters in the audience. But it got me to thinking that there are maybe three generations who do not

know and love this music, probably because they have not heard it.

Later that evening, Fran found an infomercial on the TV selling a huge CD set of rock and roll music from the 50s. One of the hosts, a former disc jockey, kept saying that R&R changed music forever. It sure did! But even that sounds a lot better to me now than it did when it was making headway on the Hit Parade.


Duke PowerTo the editor:

A wealthy friend, some years ago, living in the New York area said, “You are on Duke Power Company?”

“Yes.”

She said, “My stock broker only lets me buy Duke stock; they pay the highest profits.” The price increase (again) is unfair! If we write our legislators how we feel, we can stop it (I hope.) Our State Senate is Rolf Hise and Chris Whitmire, our representative. Let’s all shake em’ up!

- Ron Mosseller

There is nothing attractive about an asphalt-surfaced park-ing area, but the plan and terrain hides it to the extent possible. I also was favorably impressed with the outdoor theater now that I see it constructed. Over all, it is an excellent plan from, which TFAC and the commu-nity will benefit for many years.

As I recall there is an addi-tional phase of the plan, which consists of a glass enclosed addition to the lower rear level

of the building adjacent to the Farwell Garden. Such a space would be a good addition to the facility and would be helpful in making the Farwell Garden area more usable.

The board’s stated policy of making no major renovations or additions beyond the available funds is one the community supports and admires. I look forward to hearing more about Phase II.

- Clyde Kaericher

The Hit Parade radio show has been displaced by the visual entertainment of Dancing with the Stars. There are almost no radio stations playing music older than last week’s offerings now . . . The DJ’s job is to sell the new stuff, not to keep older “standards” alive. We heard “Stardust” and “In the Still of the Night” . . . Can they be heard anywhere else?

Our school system has bands with kids learning to read and

play music. The colleges are turning out musicians by the thousands, but for what? Will they be able to make a living, or just be a small minority trying to keep real music alive?

Quality grand pianos are still selling well, as are band instru-ments. Maybe things are not as bad as I think. I hope so! Will some of you younger people reassure me?

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis presents an award from the Polk County Fire Chief’s Association during a retirement party for Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Tennant.

the position since 1982. He has served as firefighter for 35 years and retired as an educator after 30 years of service. Tennant is currently the chair of the Polk County School Board.

Tennant joined the Colum-bus Fire Department in the mid-1970s. Then, the depart-ment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of fire trucks. Today, the depart-ment has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several associate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“I don’t think you can under-stand how much the people in this room mean to me,” Tennant told those in attendance.

Tennant was lured to Tryon Estates that evening by a fire alarm activation at the retire-ment community in Columbus. The fire alarm call was nothing new to Tennant, but soon after entering the room, Tennant re-alized the setup as he was met with a standing ovation.

“It was the only way we could get him here,” said Co-lumbus Deputy Fire Chief Bobby Arledge. “If we told him we were having a retirement party, he wouldn’t have shown

up. If it’s a fire call, we know he’s coming.”

Arledge will take over the chief position at the beginning of the year.

Tennant was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, along with several other presen-tations from many of the service agencies Tennant has worked closely with over the years. Those in attendance included all Polk County emergency service and law enforcement agencies, mutual aid fire depart-ments and Regional One.

“The opportunity to work with him in so many roles has been incredible,” said Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “He has been a colleague, my fire chief and most importantly, my friend.”

Davis served as the Polk County Fire Marshal and later as deputy chief at the Columbus Fire Department before taking the Tryon fire chief position.

Tennant expressed surprise when presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, which has also been awarded to Bob Timberlake, Charles Kuralt and fellow University of North Carolina Alumnus, Mi-chael Jordan. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven

The Spartanburg Little The-atre’s 2012-2013 season wraps up with the sultry Tennessee Williams drama A Streetcar Named Desire.

On stage for six performances from May 3-12 at the Chap-man Cultural Center, A Streetcar Named Desire is a true American classic, most well known to audi-ences through its 1951 film ver-sion starring Marlon Brando and Vivien Leigh.

One of the iconic masterpieces of American theatre, Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire follows the fading, but still attractive southern belle Blanche Du Bois as she arrives unexpect-edly on the doorstep of her sister, Stella, and her brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski.

Over the course of one hot, sultry New Orleans summer, Blanche’s fragile facade slowly crumbles as she meets her match in the rough-hewn, brutish, and sensual Stanley, who sees through her and is determined to expose her.

“We don’t often have the op-portunity to produce a true classic drama,” said SLT’s Executive Artistic Director Jay Coffman. “It’s exciting to be able to give the actors and the audience something to sink their teeth into.”

Directed by veteran director Dan Harvey, A Streetcar Named Desire features an amazing cast of Upstate actors led by Lee Neib-ert as Stanley Kowalski, Alaina Steading as Blanche Dubois and Harmonie Skipper as Stella Kow-alski.

“This cast is immensely tal-ented,” said Coffman. “Tennessee Williams fans will definitely not be disappointed, and the casual theatre-goer might just discover a new favorite.”

Tickets for A Streetcar Named Desire can be purchased by call-ing the Chapman Cultural Center box office at 864-542-2787 or by ordering online at www.chapman-culturalcenter.org.

Following a 0-2 loss to Owen on Monday night, April 29, today’s game becomes a must win for Polk County.

“We have to beat Henderson-ville, and then somebody has to beat or tie Owen for us to win our conference,” Polk county varsity girls soccer Coach Lennox Charles said after the game. “If we would have won tonight, winning the con-ference title would be in our hands. Now we have to beat Henderson-ville on Wednesday, and wait to see the outcome of the Hendersonville and Owen game on Friday.”

It was a tough blow for the Wolverines, coming off a 3-0 vic-tory against Mitchell Thursday, April 25.

“Owen was just better tonight,” Charles said, “although we did bet-ter in the second half, in the first half, Owen would beat us to the ball almost every time.”

Owen also kept Polk from using their speed.

“Whenever Owen turned the ball over, three defenders would automatically drop back, making it extremely difficult for us to get any shots off,” Coach Charles said. “Last time we played them, we were able to get behind them easily. They took steps tonight to make sure that didn’t happen.”

Despite the loss, aspects of the game and the Lady Wolverines’ effort pleased Coach Charles.

“Talia Petoia isn’t a starter, but whenever she goes in she really gives it her all, and she did that tonight,” he said. “She helped out all night. I didn’t sub her out in the second, because she has a great en-ergy and she gave us a lift tonight.”

Injuries plagued Polk. Jordan Geer was out with a

concussion, and Samantha Firby had to leave the game during the second half.

“We think it was just over-exertion with Sam tonight,” Coach Charles said. “She was really effec-tive when she was out there, she

was causing all sorts of problems for Owen, and it hurt when she came out.”

Charles said he hopes the team takes away enough from the loss to be prepared for Hendersonville.

Sports

“Winning the conference is still in our sights, but only if we do our part first,” coach Charles concluded, “tonight was better than any practice we could have done on our own, and hopefully it’ll help

us get ready for Hendersonville.”Polk’s games against Hender-

sonville will be played at different times than previously reported. JV will kick off at 4 p.m., with varsity following at 6.

All ages are invited to PAC-Walk for Preservation, which will be held Saturday morning, May 4, around the pastoral Try-on Estates lake and woodlands. The event offers three options for PACWalkers: a mile-long amble around the lake, a more challenging 2-mile hike around the lake and through the woods or you can choose to support

PAC/PACWalk and walk in spirit by becoming a “phantom walker.”

“This year’s course is ex-tremely beautiful,” comments PAC President Elizabeth “Dib-bit” Lamb. “PAC is grateful to Tryon Estates for hosting this event.”

This will be the ninth year the ACTS retirement commu-

nity has mounted a full-fledged, grass roots campaign to make the Pacolet Area Conservancy’s spring fundraiser a success. The staff and residents of Tryon Estates have raised more than $5,000 PACWalk dollars each of the past several years, “put-ting PACWalk over the top,” according to Lamb. “These dedicated citizens have ‘owned’

conservation, and PACWalk is the event to provide the forum for that.”

“The altruistic spirit em-braced by both staff and resi-dents of Tryon Estates is inspir-ing and amazing,” emphasizes Pam Torlina, land protection specialist for the Pacolet Area

2011 PACWalkers at Tryon Estates. (photo by Chris Bartol)

Ninth annual PACWalk and third annual PACRun, May 4



Conservancy. The relationship between

PAC and Tryon Estates started in 2004 when resident Bob Dockendorf called PAC to see if the organization would be receptive to having Tryon Estates take up the cause of conservation through the very first PACWalk.

“Of course we were thrilled,” says Carole Bartol, immediate past president of the board of directors of PAC, “but we had no idea that they would turn out by the busload to walk, to cheer others, and to make a visible statement that our natural en-vironment is important to pre-serve for future generations.”

Since the inception of PAC-Walk, three years ago another event was added, PACRun, a 5K Trail Run on the Tryon Estates grounds. The run has increased in popularity and promises a challenging, yet beautiful run

on the property. “PACRun is a fun, challeng-

ing course, with lots of twists, turns, and hills. Everyone is always surprised at the level of difficulty. The race course was designed by Tryon Estates resident and former runner, Tryon Lindabury. I think the beauty of Tryon Estates is best seen through our trails,” said Caroline Eller, recreation co-ordinator for WillowBrooke court at Tryon Estates and a runner herself.

C h e c k - i n fo r PACRun begins at 7:15 a.m., and the race starts at 8 a.m. PACWalk registration will open at 9 a.m., and the walk begins at 10 a.m. Tryon Estates has in-vited all PACWalk and PACRun participants to a free lunch dur-ing the awards ceremony in the formal dining room, beginning at 11 a.m.

All tax deductible proceeds will go toward protecting and conserving this area’s natural resources.

Runners may register online at strictlyrunning.com, or run-ners and walkers can visit the PAC website, www.pacolet.org, to download and print registra-tion forms for either the run or the walk.

Forms are also available at the PAC of-fice, at 850 N. Trade St . in Tryon . For m o r e i n f o r -mation please call the PAC office at 828-

859-5060, visit the website, www.pacolet.org, or come by the office. After May 3rd, there will be a late registration fee for PACRun only.

PAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to protect and conserve the area’s natural

resources (PAC’s mission). PAC works with area landown-ers to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agreements) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain signifi-cant federal, state and local tax benefits.

PAC’s vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural resources and or goal is to provide a legacy that will endure and be valued by generations to come. PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage con-servation and provide education programs emphasizing native species appreciation and re-sponsible land use practices to help – save the places you love.

Have you been thinking about starting or expanding a busi-ness venture? Take advantage of the next Mountain BizWorks Foundations Business Planning Course, beginning Tuesday, May 7, at the Mill Spring Agricul-tural Develop-ment Center in Mill Spring.

Foundations is designed for entrepreneurs with the vision and passion to start or expand a business idea.

In this eight-session course, participants write a business plan while learning about start-up and overhead costs, profit goals, cash flow, marketing plans, and licensing and record keeping - all while receiving direct, supportive feedback from the facilitator and other participants.

Local entrepreneur Suzanne Strickland of Stone Soup Market & Cafe took the foundations course in Polk County nine years ago, knowing she wanted to start her dream business: a lo-

cal and fresh foods market-place and deli in Landrum.

“I love to entertain, but always had to travel outside of my com-munity to find the interesting

ingredients and dishes I was looking for.”

The foundations experience provided Strickland with the basic business tools to get her business off the ground - but her customers have shaped the business from day one.

“I put a suggestion box out by the deli and the overwhelming

responses were for us to become a full-service restaurant. We knew if we were going to succeed, we would have to give our customers what they wanted,” she said.

It’s this personal touch that has made all the difference.

“The early personal challenges were a sense of real vulnerabili-ty,” says Strick-land, “though w e f o u n d a quick success. In a small town, everyone wants to know what’s happening and what the new places are like. But we provid-ed good quality food made from scratch and have continued to do so for nine years, which is why we have grown every year.”

Strickland said tenacity and independence are traits of small-town entrepreneurs who are often creating the products or services that a more rural area may lack, but that modern day people living the good ‘ole country life still desire.”

In that independence, Strick-land knows that interdependence with a close-knit community is key.

“I depend on people because I know what I don’t know and we all share and learn in that in order to keep local business strong,” she said.

Registration is now open for the eight-session foundations course, which begins on May 7

from 9 a.m. to noon at the Mill Spring Agricul-tural Develop-ment Center, 156 School Rd., Mill Spring.

For details or to register, contact Ashley Epling at 828-2 5 3 - 2 8 3 4 x 27 orashley@

mountainbizworks.org; or course facilitator, Carol Lynn Jackson, at 828-817-2308 or [email protected]. For a full schedule of upcoming courses and events throughout western North Carolina, please visit www.mountainbizworks.org/calendar.

McComas speaks at Polk County Historical Association meeting

There are few things more refreshing on a hot summer day than cool, splash-ing water cascading down a waterfall. “Western North Carolina has more waterfalls than most people will see in a lifetime,” says Rob McComas, guest speaker at the May 7 meeting of the Polk County Historical Association.

Uniquely located in the Foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Polk County has many beautiful waterfalls. Some are well known, such as Pearson’s, Shunk-

awakan and the two Bradley Falls; oth-ers are unnamed and secluded.

Tourist maps have no location or di-rections to these little wonders of nature. However, in searching for fishing spots for his fishing guide business, McComas has discovered many enchanting “secret waterfalls.”

Join us when McComas delights us with stories and pictures of the well-known and unknown waterfalls in Polk County.

The historical association meeting will be held at 2:30 p.m. May 7 at the Polk County Museum in Columbus.

Last year’s Spring fundraiser was such a success that Slow Food Foothills has decided a re-peat is in order. On Sunday, May 19, Overmountain Vineyards & Winery will host the second annual Slow Food Spring Fund-raiser from 4-8 p.m.

A casual gourmet buffet will be provided by Suzanne Strick-land of Stone Soup and Over-mountain Vineyard and Winery will pour tastings, wine by the glass and by the bottle. Bottle Tree Beer will also be available

for purchase. Following the meal, North Carolina’s favorite Gigi Dover & the Big Love will perform with the mountains as a backdrop to the sprawling grape-vines in one of Polk County’s most beautiful settings.

Another highlight to the eve-ning will be the second annual silent auction. Come help Slow Food earn money to fund future projects for its Slow Food in Schools program and other com-munity events. Many generous donations have already been

made but Slow Food is still ac-tively seeking more items.

Tickets can be purchased on line through brown paper tickets at www.brownpapertickets.com or at Overmountain Winery and La Bouteille. Last year’s event was sold out and availability is on a first come, first serve basis.

Slow Food is a global, grass-roots organization with mem-bers in 150 countries and 1,300 volunteer-led chapters around the world. The organization was founded in 1989 to counter the

rise of fast global programs and the disappearance of local food cultures with campaigns that pur-sue the vision of a world where everyone can enjoy food.

Today, the group promotes local and national food that is good for us, good for farmers and workers, and good for the planet.

On April 10 Campobello Gramling School held a veterans program. During the event, veterans came to talk to the fifth and eighth grade students. Mr. David Whitaker, social studies teacher, started this event several years ago to pass along the living history that veterans have to share with youth. Many of the veterans come back year after year because they love the connection they make with the students. The students that take part in this event love to hear the stories the veterans tell because the people that tell the stories have lived them.
