April 1 event features cranky comedy Sautee Nacoochee Center presents April Fools! on Thursday, April1, 2010 at 8 p.m. Chuck, Cavan and Jan Meese bring us the “Popular with People Tour� from the chilly state of Vermont. The show will be a fast paced blend of musical styles, stories and humor. There will be lots of music, a cranky show about living in your car and a “short� song sung by a humanette puppet. The Meeses play spoons, ukulele, guitar, harps, mandolin, banjo and they all sing. Chuck Meese started playing ukulele when he was 5 years old and switched to guitar when he was 10. He was playing professionally by the time he was 15. In 1977 after college, majoring in children’s theater, he moved to the Nacoochee Valley in Northeast Georgia (1977 - 84) and co-founded the Nacoochee Scrap Theater. Chuck started working with Vermont’s world acclaimed Bread and Puppet Theater in 1979, and eventually moved to Vermont in 1984. Today he is the artistic director of the Red Wing Puppet Theater, the technical director of the nationally acclaimed Governor’s Institute On The Arts and plays music with his sons Ca-

van and Jan at clubs and concerts around New England. His oldest son Cavan Meese, born in 1978, started performing at a very young age with his father. After growing up in the theater, alternately touring and living in Northern Vermont, he left home to attend the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. Today he regularly performs with the Bread and Puppet Theater, designs lighting for

theater and concerts, and oversees operations at The Parker Pie Company, a restaurant and music venue he opened in 2005 in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. Jan M. Meese, born in 1995, started playing the spoons when he was 3, ukulele when he was 4, mandolin at 6, guitar at 8, drums at 9 and harmonica at 10. He has been called a child prodigy and in 2005 was promoted as the “9

year old guitar wunderkind� at the Northeast Kingdom Music Festival where he has been a traditional favorite. To date he has appeared in over 200 productions with his father’s Red Wing Puppet Theater and continues to perform solo concerts in venues around Vermont. The Meeses will donate 30% of their profits from this show to Habitat for Humanity, in Gloria Brown’s honor.

Moonshine Highway begins April 1

If this ribbon of highway from Lake Burton to Clarkesville could talk it would tell a tale of high octane high-jinks, fire and fermentation, swagger and shadows. Once a dusty drag way for illegal corn liquor, the Moonshine Highway now welcomes visitors to its galleries, restaurants, studios and antique stores – but the legacy lingers on a clear, dark night. The merchants of the Scenic Highway 197 Association invite you to downshift and enjoy the 2nd Annual Historic Moonshine Mile event beginning April 1st.

Do you ever wish that you could travel back in time, say 50 years or so? Well, you can, sort of.All you have to do is watch the movie Picnic (1955). Of course it’s not really a time machine,but if you’re more than 50 years old, you will be able to revisit the 1950s in an authentic way. Iremember very well seeing the film in 1955 and thinking how realistic it seemed. Although Ididn’t live in Kansas where the story was set. This story is one of the standard plots of literature. A stranger comes to town and upsets thebalance of things. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? It should. It’s been used hundreds of times. Hal (William Holden) arrives in a small Kansas town where a former college mate of his lives.Alan (Cliff Robertson) is dating the local town beauty Madge (Kim Novak). Madge is not quitesure she wants to marry Alan, but her mother surely wants her to. He is the most eligible man intown and almost any girl would give her right arm to win him

over. When Alan learns that his former friend is on the bum, he offers to give him a job at his localgrain elevator. Hal is not sure he wants to do this. He’s not the kind of fellow who likes to be tieddown as evidenced by his wandering life. However, he also has a complex believing that he is afailure. A former football star and would be movie actor were both unsuccessful attempts at a career. Meanwhile, Alan makes the mistake of inviting Hal to the Labor Day picnic. At the picnic Haland Madge begin to hit it off. Hal is well aware of the relationship between Alan and Madge, buthe seems unable to put distance between himself and her. They end up going off together wherethey become engaged romantically. Alan is naturally upset by this chain of events and is determined he’s going to get revenge on hisformer friend. He accuses Hal of stealing his automobile and sets the law on him. Hal manages toescape and make his way back to Madge’s home. There he tells her that he loves her and that hewants them to be together. Back in her room, Madge and her sister Millie

(Susan Strassburg) are discussing the turn ofevents. Millie urges her sister to do something smart for once in her life and go meet Hal inTulsa. Madge hurriedly packs a small suitcase, and in spite of her mother’s protest, goes to catcha bus for Tulsa. Meanwhile, Hal has hopped a freight. The Cinemascope camera pulls away fromthe small town with a freight train and the bus running parallel to each other. The film won an Academy award for Best Art Direction –Set Direction, Color, and Best FilmEditing. Author O’Connell was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and GeorgeDunning was nominated for Best Director. In 2002 the film was ranked number 59 in theAmerican film Institute’s 100 years...100 passions. Today we give a reel memories salute to Picnic (1955), a good look at the times. William V. Reynolds is the author of “Murder in the Okefenokee� available at McCaysville Public Market and Pat’s Country Kitchen in McCaysville; Parris Pharmacy, The Book Nook and Ingles in Blue Ridge; Book Nook in Blairsville; and Phillips and Lloyd in Hayesville.

RESTAURANT SPOTLIGHT

Return of the Prime Rib Sentinel Writer In The Dining Room at Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa, you'll find your mealtimes made into happy events. Give credit to inspired ingredients and a service that seems to take a personal interest in your happiness with food choices and presentation. From breakfast to Sunday Brunch to daily luncheons; from a Seafood & Pasta Buffet to Saturday Night Prime Rib's return, both healthy eating and cravings are covered. After a three-year absence from the dining schedule, the Saturday Night Prime Rib Buffet is now back in its third week. The Dining Room doors open at 5 p.m. each evening for dinner. For this Saturday Night Prime Rib Buffet, I learned from our great host and greeter, Pacer, they had received about 100 reservations, with walk-

ins welcome always. Promptly seated, we noted a live wood fire, not unwelcome this March, being set alight in The Dining Room's native stone fireplace. The Saturday Night Prime Rib Buffet includes the Soup, Salad & Fresh Shrimp Bar / Slow-roasted Prime Rib / Baked Potato Bar with toppings / Breads / Dessert Bar and much more / All you care to eat for only $21.95. The soup, salad and shrimp bar offers an array of garden fresh traditional mixed greens, the resort's famous Caesar salad, plus a variety of Chef Sid Karamboukas' daily salad creations and the chef's favorite daily soup. I chose chef's black-eyed pea salad for a scrumptious specialty salad. "The Prime Rib Buffet is the only reason we're here tonight," declared Anita Beck of Canton, Ga., whom I met while filling my salad plate. "We have been coming to Brasstown Val-

ley to eat for over six years, but the Prime Rib Buffet was our favorite. When we heard they reinstated it on Saturday nights, we drove right up." I hinted that possibly with Daylight Savings time in effect now, such a long drive for a meal could be scenic and worth the trip. "Oh no, we would make the drive any time, as we like their meals and pricing, so the taste is worth the drive. However, we come for the

Prime Rib Buffet the most regularly. My husband agrees the drive is worth the taste and ambience." Her husband, Professor Walton Heston Beck, Sr. of Reinhardt College in Waleska, Ga., confirmed his agreement. (Professor Beck also said that Reinhardt College will become a full university on June 1, for those of you who may be interested.) This night I dined with Mrs. Sylvia Brattebo and Ms. Annette Cook,

both of Hayesville, N.C. Our server for the dinner was Karen, who was born and raised in Blairsville, Ga. The above mentioned couple was from down Atlanta-way. Guests staying at the resort from all over the country and beyond came in for their evening repast at the Saturday Night Prime Rib Buffet. It is safe to say that people come from far and wide, and it is easy to see why. David Petersen, Food and Beverage Director, has obviously hit a high mark in managing and training a service staff that is friendly and professional yet unobtrusive. Karen remained unfailingly competent (and sweet) in filling numerous requests for the three guests at our table. Chef Brian carved the mouth-watering prime rib and wielded his knife to select the right rarity level to suit your taste buds. The baked potato bar included fresh toppings like parsley, cheeses, sour cream, horseradish sauce, smoky bacon bits. I've said it before and must again: the well-sourced ingredients used here are kept at their best, because the staff refreshes all buffet

serving dishes in a timely manner. Save room for the famous southern style bread pudding and fresh fruit cobbler for dessert. It is impossible for me to skip the real whipped cream here at the resort. The resort was also hosting the celebration of the 5th Annual Wine Highway Weekend Saturday night. At any given time, they host weddings, receptions, art shows and business meetings. Yet I note their attention to each customer remains impartially superior. Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa offers fine and casual dining with an extensive wine list and full cocktail service. Brassies Bar & Grill is also on premises for an even more casual meal or drink of your choice. For a full listing of foodie-related and other upcoming resort offerings, visit their website at www.brasstownvalley.com. You can call 706-379-9900 for additional information or reservations. Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa is located at 6321 U.S. Highway 76 in Young Harris, Ga. Come in and help celebrate the return of the Saturday Night Prime Rib Buffet.

Mountain Home Show begins April 30

Our local construction industry needs business. What is needed is an affordable way to meet people. That is what The Mountain Home Show has been doing since 1999. It will be held again at North Georgia Technical College in Blairsville. This show is run like a co-op. All the businesses get together to support the show. A little money from each business goes a long way to promote the show. People come to get ideas for their home and meet local business people int eh construction industry. Many articles on marketing recommend home shows for construction businesses. They are an inexpensive way to get the name

The Community Council of the Georgia Mountain Research & Education Center invites you to a free seminar on home grown tomatoes, on Friday, March 26, at 10 A.M., in the auditorium of the Georgia Mountain Research & Education Center. The GMRE Center is located three miles south of Blairsville, on Hwy 19/129. Who doesn’t love a fresh tomato sandwich or homemade salsa? It is no wonder that tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables to grow at home. They have many culinary uses, and are a good source of vitamins A and C, and are low in calories. Our speaker, Mickey Cummings, will share which varieties will do well in our mountain climate, how to stake, should you prune or not, and other cultural practices. If you want to be able to sit on your porch this summer,

publicized, and meet people. They require good planning and a lot of work, but many businesses depend on home shows for their advertising. A 100 square foot space would cost between $160 and $285. They are welcoming local businesses that have services or products for the home. They especially want to encourage businesses that offer green services and products for the home such as solar panels, energy efficient heating and cooling, insulation, etc. The Mountain Home Show is covering the region from Robbinsville to Ellijay to Hiawassee. For more information see www. mountainhomeshow.com

having a lucious ‘mater sandwich, you had better come to this seminar. Remember, the only way to get home grown flavor is to grow it at home! As mentioned, there is no cost for this seminar and no pre-registration is necessary. However, seating is limited to the first 100 in attendance. Mr. Mickey Cummings has been the Union County Exten-

sion Coordinator for twenty years. Mr. Cummings received his Bachelors degree in Agronomy from the University of Georgia and his Masters degree from Clemson University. He is past president of the National County Agents Association. In addition to his involvement in vegetable research, Mr. Cummings is studying the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid and mapping mature Chestnut trees in Union County. This seminar is the 72nd in a series of seminars sponsored by the Outreach Committee of the Community Council. The Community Council was formed in 2003 to expand the outreach and service of the Georgia Mountain Research & Education Center to the mountain region. To fulfill this purpose, volunteers work through three program commit-

tees – Preservation, Education and Outreach. The Outreach Committee began offering free seminars in 2004. Since that first seminar, more than 5,100 adults have benefited from these seminars. The operating budget of the Community Council is funded by gifts from friends through an annual campaign. If you would like to receive seminar notices by email, send your online request, name and phone number to: gmrec@uga.edu.
