‘The Quiet Man’ has an interesting story By: William V. Reynolds Columnist

This film has an interesting background. First of all, it’s helpful to know that John Ford, the director was a native of Ireland. He had been wanting to tell this story for years, but he hadn’t been successful in finding someone to help him produce it. Finally, around 1950, he struck a bargain with Herbert J. Yates, the president of Republic Pictures. Actually John Ford had to do some arm twisting. Yates agreed to make the film on the condition that John Ford would direct a Western with John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara in the leading roles. Rio Grande (1950) was the result. Yates was not in favor of making a film outside the United States. One factor was the cost. Another thing was Yates tendency to make only Westerns. For years westerns, especially B-westerns, had been the mainstay of Republic Studios. It wasn’t until the early 1950s that Yates agreed

to produce some science fiction and a few nonWestern films. Incidentally, this coincided with the decline of B-westerns at the movie house. The story is very entertaining with some fine acting by John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, Victor McLaglen, Ward Bond, and a host of other fine actors and actresses. It was actually photographed in Ireland in Technicolor capturing the magnificent scenery of the Emerald Isle. Briefly it’s the story of a man who comes home from the United States where he has been a boxing champion. Arriving at his hometown, Innisfree, Sean Thornton ( John Wayne) spots a redheaded woman herding sheep. Upon inquiry he learns that she is Mary Kate Danaher (Maureen O’Hara) the sister of “Red� Will Danaher (Victor McLaglen). Sean determines that he is going to court her and win her over. However, there is a complication. Red is determined to keep her away from him at all costs, but Sean and some of his friends arrange a trick on him telling him that Mary Kate will not wed

until he is married. When Red finds that he has been tricked, he refuses to give Mary Kate’s dowry to Sean. Sean refuses to fight over the money leaving Mary Kate to believe that he is a coward. She is unaware of his fighting history in the United States. Eventually however, things come to a head and the inevitable fight begins. Sean finds that Red is a formidable opponent and in the end the two men come to respect each other. Yates thought that Ford’s version was too long, so he edited it down to 129 minutes. This film was the only picture ever made by Republic Pictures to receive an Oscar nomination for best picture. Today we give a real memories salute to John Ford and the cast of The Quiet Man (1952).

Spring sprang

By: Nancy White Kelly Columnist

SMOKY MOUNTAIN FOOT CLINIC, PA

Sentinel Newspapers

Spring sprang. It’s hot already. Seems like each year we skip our highly anticipated season of spring. Now it seems a straight shot from winter to summer. I have been bagging up our winter clothes and trying to find the summer stash. Buddy thinks he put them in the attic, but they aren’t there. My creaky knees barely carried me up the ladder this year. Most likely it was my last trip ever to that space over the garage which houses a treasure trove of memories in cardboard boxes. In the hunt for the summer wardrobe, Buddy keeps finding pictures of younger, happier days. There is a bit of sadness about growing old and knowing you aren’t going to ever have the energy or strength of days gone by. Buddy is twelve years older than I. Since the turn of the millennium, I have noticed an obvious decrease in his physical agility and endurance. A decade ago he could work from sun up to sun down and barely break a sweat. Now he requires a nap every two or three hours. That would be okay except he insists that he can’t rest without me by his side. I don’t have time to take that many naps especially since I am not a morning person anyway. His day is half over before I am semi-conscious. By four in the afternoon I am at my peak and he is beginning his shut down mode. That would not be a problem except my Buddy insists he can’t sleep unless I am in bed beside him. What a dilemma. Do I wash clothes, do dishes and write out the bills or do I give in and go to bed with my lonely man at eight thirty? Sometimes I lull Buddy to sleep

at night and slip out of the bedroom to write, read or just do my own thing without interruption. That wouldn’t be a problem except he has this inner alarm that goes off when he can’t feel my body. Many a night he has wandered into my office sanctuary to tell me I need to come to bed and get my rest. Good grief. I’ve already had three naps since sun rise.

I still haven’t found the summer clothes. Buddy insists I gave them to either the Humane Society or Safe House for re-sale. I don’t think so, but it looks as if we will be shopping there ourselves for something to wear as the temperature edges higher each day. The birthdays and the seasons come and go year end and year out. Once we were young and now we are old. Once we were the children, then the parents, and thereafter the grandparents. The cycle will continue after we are gone just as it has for centuries before. Charlie just turned 30 and Noah, his youngest son, 3. Seems like only yesterday Charlie was 3 himself. Then we blinked.

ON NASCAR

It’s a bird, it’s a plane! By: Cathy Elliott Columnist The first time I heard a driver -it was Kurt Busch -- refer to Greg Biffle as “The Biff,� I laughed out loud. It sounded so much like a superhero’s name. But what kind of superhero might he be? Their names should be indicative of their powers, right? They are men to be respected, by virtue of their physical prowess. The Hulk is bigger than we are, The Flash is faster, and Superman, obviously, is simply super. So what is the deal with The Biff? The only Biffs I’ve ever known, or known of, are Biff Tannen, the antagonist in the “Back to the Future� movies, and a couple of guys in college who were perpetually dressed in plaid. I have never seen Greg Biffle in a pair of pink and green patterned pants, nor do I want to. I have also never heard him utter the phrase, “Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here, McFly?� But I have seen him drive, and that tells me all I need to know. Biffle is not what you’d call a regular water cooler topic. When controversies and on-track issues arise, his is not generally the first name that pops into your head. He’s been known to get a little hot under the collar now and again, but as we all know, that comes with the territory for NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers. For the most part, Biffle is what you’d call an even-keeled type of guy. He likes to fish. He has a pilot’s license and enjoys flying. He and his wife Nicole have a love and concern for animals and their foundation makes major contributions to local humane societies, no-kill animal shelters, spay and neuter clinics, and the Animal Adoption League. Add a pair of big black spectacles

and it’s Clark Kent, eat your heart out ... until a situation occurs. For our purposes here, we’ll call it a race. Biffle springs into action. Whatever non-plaid clothes he is wearing are replaced by a firesuit. He straps in. He buckles up. And he wins. Biffle was the 1998 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Rookie of the Year, and the 2000 series champion. He was the 2001 NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year, and the 2002 series champion. He has made the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup three times, in 2005, 2008 and 2009. Currently, he is sitting in third place in the driver standings, 92 points behind four-time series champion Jimmie Johnson. Rounding out the top five are Biffle’s Roush Fenway Racing teammate Matt Kenseth; Kevin Harvick; and Jeff Gordon. The current top 12 includes former champion Tony Stewart; Carl Edwards; and Kyle Busch. It is, just to keep this movie reference thing current, a real clash of the titans. In true superhero fashion, Biffle knows what he needs to do, and is prepared to follow through. He finished in the top 10 in all six Sprint Cup Series races leading up to Phoenix. In a teleconference on April 6, he said of course he knew the team would have finishes worse than 10th place over the course of the long season, but “we've been good so far. That's not good enough. We're going to have to be better than that ‌ but we have the makings of a championship caliber team. We certainly do.â€? So Johnson or any other possible future points leader had best take note of what they might see suddenly taking up a considerable amount of space in their rearview mirror. That isn’t a bird, and it isn’t a plane. It’s The Biff, and he’s definitely flying.

Celebrate your age With the over sixty-five population booming, it’s important to recognize Older Americans Month. As declared by the Administration on Aging, May marks the 47th annual Older Americans Month. When it was initially established in 1963, only 17 million living Americans had reached their 65th birthdays -- According to the most recent census data, there are approximately 38.9 million people 65 and older now living in the U.S.! The theme of this year’s Older Americans Month issued by the Administration on Aging is Age Strong! Live Long! and the local owner of Comfort Keepers wants to help area residents achieve that goal. “It’s very important, especially as you get older, to maintain a balanced diet and stay active,� said the local owner of Comfort Keepers. Comfort Keepers provides inhome care to seniors, new mothers or other adults needing assistance with activities of daily living. In celebration of Older Americans Month and National Senior Health and Fitness Day which falls on May 26th, the Comfort Keepers owner gathered the following fitness and nutrition tips to encourage activity and help foster more nutritious eating habits: FITNESS TIPS Talk To A Doctor Before starting an exercise program, consult a doctor. “You may have limitations and your doctor can provide suggestions as to how to work around those. Be thorough and honest with your doctor about what you are planning on doing, so he or she can adequately assess the situation,� said the owner of Comfort Keepers. Comfort Is Key Wear comfortable clothing and footwear appropriate for the temperature, humidity and activity. Start Slowly Don’t jump into a strenuous workout right away. There are benefits to simple exercises such as stretching and walking. Overdoing it in the beginning may cause soreness and prevent you from making it part of your daily routine. Start simple. When ready, try longer sessions of less strenuous activities such as walking or swimming or shorter sessions of more vigorous activities such as fast walking or stair climbing. Get In The Water Water exercises promote strength without stressing your joints. Join An Organized Sport Many sports, ranging from bowling to tennis, have added competitive sectors for seniors. Ask around and find a sport that fits your interests, lifestyle and ability-level. In Good Company Find a companion to exercise with you if it will help you stay on a regular schedule and add to your enjoyment.

Poetry Council of NC sponsors 2010 contest

The Poetry Council of NC (PCNC) will again sponsor a series of poetry contests for NC residents this year. In all, PCNC sponsors contests in 8 categories, including one each for elementary, middle and high school students. Other categories are for a book by a NC poet published in 2009, traditional poetry, light verse, free verse, and poems on the theme of family. The submission period for these contests began February 15 and concludes on May 22. Winners in last year’s contests include such notable poets as Anthony Abbott, Bill Griffin, Sara Claytor, Shelby Stephenson, and Dannye Romine Powell. All contest categories feature cash prizes ranging from $100 to $15 for first, second, and third place. In most categories, up to three additional poems are awarded honorable mention status. All poems selected for awards are published in PCNC’s annual anthology, Bay Leaves. Additionally, authors of the awarded poems will receive certificates from PCNC and are invited to read their winning poems at PCNC’s annual poetry celebration known as Poetry Day, to be held this year on October 16 at Catawba College in Salisbury. Poems submitted for PCNC contests must be unpublished and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Complete details including the method for submitting work are available on PCNC’s website at www.poetrycouncilofnc.wordpress.com or by contacting PCNC President, Ed Cockrell, at 2906 Gait Way, Chapel Hill, NC 27516. The Poetry Council of NC was founded in 1949 with the primary mission of fostering “a deeper appreciation and love of poetry among the people of NC.” Since its founding, the Council has sponsored contests, published anthologies, coordinated Poetry Day, and helped maintain an archive of NC poetry at Catawba College. Starting with last year’s contests and continuing this year, winning poems are also published online (a new poem each week) on the Council’s website.

Cobi Ferguson, Wyatt Espalin to rock Peacock

‘Trees Leave’ is back home

Two local musicians are back in Hayesville to perform a special CD release concert at the Peacock Playhouse, Saturday, April 24, 2010, at 7 p.m. “Trees Leave” is Cobi Ferguson and Wyatt Espalin, from Hayesville, NC and Hiawassee, GA respectively. This Nashville-based alternative folkrock duo will play songs from their new CD, The Gospel of Hurt, with special guests “Irons in the Fire” opening. General admission tickets are $10 per person, available at the door, and proceeds go towards the Peacock Playhouse’s fundraising efforts. Autographed Trees Leave CDs will be available for sale after the concert, with proceeds going to the band. Cobi and Wyatt blend their bluegrass beginnings with a love of rock, blues and traditional country music, taking turns on rhythm guitar, and trading the lead on their signature instruments. Ferguson’s polarizing guitar riffs and Espalin’s fiery fiddle solos add spice to their live performances and keep audiences guessing what will come next. Says Wylie Graver, of Verge Live Magazine, “Trees Leave adds a fresh voice to the alternative folk scene with songs that mourn opportunities lost and celebrate hope renewed…the duo captures the essence of today’s troubador.” Clips can be heard at www.treesleavemusic.com. Opening for the duo are their old friends, local favorites, “Irons in the Fire” led by Rob Tiger of Tiger’s General Store in downtown Hayesville. They performed at the Playhouse in September, 2009 and will start the evening with a thirty minute set. For more information visit www. peacockplayhouse.org or call 828389-2787.

Now Laine Cunningham, a Spiritual Messenger who lives in Hillsborough, is competing in a worldwide talent search called The Next Top Spiritual Author. Several judging rounds rely heavily on public votes, so the state can rally

joined. Although only a percentage of them have already written a book, every contestant has their own thoughts to share. Topics range from abundance to astrology, from dating to depression. Cunningham’s focus is on a concept she calls New Spirituality. “People today are undergoing a spiritual transformation the likes of which has not been seen for thousands of years,” she says. “We no longer think the Creator is separated from us. Now we know that divine energy lives in our hearts.” The best of Native American, Australian Aboriginal and Hawaiian shamanic systems blends with metaphysical ideas. The resulting spiritual

system focuses on the human heart. By emphasizing love for all people and things, her ideas make our global society resonate with compassion. Cunningham’s journey began back in 1993 when she spent six months camping alone in the Australian outback. During the day, she bumped over rough desert roads in a twentyyear-old Ford sedan. At night she cooked over an open fire and listened to the dingoes circle her tent. She also learned to play the didgeridoo, a traditional Aboriginal wind instrument. After returning to the United States, she began attending Native American rites and ceremonies in the Midwest. Then she moved to North Carolina and explored her family’s roots in Cherokee. In 2005, Cunningham was ordained as an interfaith minister. This step took her deeper into the spiritual messages she spreads through her books and stories. A short time later she was certified as a shaman. Although she connected with spiritual energy all her life, the official training allowed Cunningham to refine her approach. The result was a series of books, workshops and videos that address spiritual challenges with ancient knowledge from around the world. This summer, Cunningham will launch the first nonfiction book. Seven Sisters pairs Australian Aboriginal stories with essays that help readers address modern problems. Although technology has changed the day-today details of how we live, we still face the same issues. Cunningham says, “Our lifestyles have changed but our hearts are the same.” Since so much of our ancient and modern lives are based on relationships with other people, Seven Sisters offers quite a bit of advice on love, marriage and family life. The book is also a valuable resource for enhancing compassion, implementing a lifelong dream, and understanding conflicts between neighbors and nations. Cunningham has already been quoted on MSNBC’s The Well-Mannered Traveler, The Sydney Morning Herald in Australia, Austria’s largest newspaper Die Presse, US-based Awareness magazine, and dozens of radio and TV shows in three countries.

Mountain Community Chorus is proud to announce its 36th annual spring concert featuring three of their own singers as “guest conductors”: Lindsey Cope, Wayne Hundley, and Laura Stooksbury. William Fox, Mountain Community’s director, explains the idea behind guest conductors: “…primarily to offer a variety of ideas regarding interpretation of the music, and to offer the audience a chance to see another director in action. Lindsey Cope, choral director at Hayesville Middle School, also directs Truett Baptist Camp Music Weeks. Reflecting upon this season’s directing, she shared, “This has probably been the most exciting experience as a conductor because this group has so much knowledge.” Wayne Hundley is Music and Pastoral Assistant at McConnell Memorial Baptist Church in Hiawassee. Conducting an old American folk hymn, “What Wondrous Love Is This,” Wayne feels that “being a guest conductor for this piece has been a blessing in my 35 years of choral directing experience.” Laura Stooksbury is Assistant Choral Director for Mountain Community Chorus and is also serving as an adjunct voice teacher at Young Harris College. Of her directing experience this season, she shares, “I love the challenge of developing one beautiful and expressive choral sound with so many different individuals.” This season MCC focuses on “Remembrances,” including Bach’s Cantata No.4 for Easter, Brahms’ “Blessed They,” and selections by Mark Hayes, John Rutter, and Andrew Lloyd Webber. Concert dates are: Friday April 30th\, 8 PM, and Sunday May 2nd, 3 PM, held in the Hilda D Glenn Auditorium at Young Harris College, GA. Admission is free; donations are appreciated. MCC is a 501C3 tax exempt organization. For more information, visit www. mapaa.org.

Musical anniversary is special

This year marks the 80th birthday anniversary of Joyce D. McSwain and the 40th anniversary of the first production of a musical, Brigadoon, in Hayesville in 1970. You are invited to a reception on Friday, April 23rd, 2010 at 7:30 PM at the Peacock Playhouse, 301 Church Street in Hayesville to celebrate these anniversaries. Some of you will remember in the fall of 1966, Joyce McSwain, as music director, and Joyce Battle, as sponsor, came together to establish the first performance Glee Club at HHS. Four years later in 1970—40 years ago!—with the success of the HHS Glee Club providing a firm foundation, Mrs. McSwain was inspired to head up the first production of a musical, Brigadoon, in Hayesville. She solicited the help of Lilith Lidseen and others in the community with the stage direction, construction of sets and other technical challenges. Brigadoon was followed in 1971 by This is My Country and in 1972 by Annie Get Your Gun, both under Mrs. McSwain’s musical direction. These efforts were followed by the creation of the

Clay County Historical and Arts Council, which fostered the eventual formation of the Licklog Players, our homegrown community theatre group in residence in Hayesville at the Peacock Playhouse, now owned, operated and a vital part of the Lilith Lidseen Performing Arts Association. There is no doubt that Mrs. McSwain’s work and contribution to the cultural life of Hayesville, and her timely partnership with Lilith Lidseen was the beginning of Miss Lidseen’s growing desire to leave Clay County a performing arts center. Former members of the HHS Glee Club and cast members of Brigadoon, This Is My County and Annie Get Your Gun, are creating a scholarship fund in Mrs. McSwain’s name, not only to honor Mrs. McSwain during her 80th birth year for her role in establishing the first performance glee club at HHS and to mark the 40th anniversary of her creation of the first musical production in Hayesville, but to also further the cultural work begun over forty years ago. The Joyce D. McSwain Performing Arts Scholarship will enable

the region’s students, who wish to hone their performance skills, to participate in a semester of performing arts classes sponsored by the Lilith Lidseen Performing Arts Association. At the reception on Friday, April 23rd, 2010 at 7:30 PM there will be refreshments, entertainment and the opportunity to visit with Mrs. McSwain and former HHS Glee Club members from the 1966-1975 era. If you are unable to attend the reception but wish to contribute to help the students in Clay County, Towns County and the surrounding area, you may mail a check payable to the Joyce D. McSwain Scholarship Fund to LLPAA, PO Box 1426, Hayesville, NC 28904. If anyone has photos of the HHS Glee Club during this time or of the three shows mentioned above, please bring them! Or better yet, send them in advance to Jane Hindsman, President of the Lilith Lidseen Performing Arts Association at the above address so they may be included in a slide show which will be on view during the reception.
