Licklog’s latest murder mystery is yours to solve

The Licklog Players’Agatha Christie mystery,The Mousetrap, opens Friday at the Peacock Playhouse in Hayesville. Directed by Edie Kleinpeter, the mystery takes many twists and turns.The audience will have a chance at the intermission to cast a vote for the person they suspect of murder. At the end of the play, if they have chosen correctly, and if their name is drawn, they could win two free tickets to the next show. Kleinpeter has injected some fun into this classic mystery. Five visitors have come to a newly opened guest house in England. The young couple who are running it are trying to make everything go smoothly, even though most of the guests are far from ideal. Unfortunately for them, a snow storm isolates the manor, and a murder occurs. It turns out, this is a second murder, as a policeman who managed to get through tells them. Will there be a third? This classic “who done it” opened in 1952 in London and has never closed. The play runs April 9-11 and 16-18. Evening performances begin at 8 with Sunday matinees at 2:30. Tickets are $13 for adults and $8 for students. The box office is open 9-1 Monday through Friday. Tickets can also be purchased by phone by calling toll free 877691-9906 or 828-389-8632. You may call at any time and your call will be returned. On opening night there will be a party with snacks in the lobby after the show.

‘Psycho’ is a good study of the paranoid By: William V. Reynolds Columnist

DOVE PROFILES

Call 452-4343

An interviewer once asked Alfred Hitchcock why he made scary movies. Hitchcock replied, “We like to have the hell scared out of us.� Some self-proclaimed experts today tell us that Psycho is not scary. But I guarantee you it was scary in 1960. What I find interesting is the fact that Hitchcock did not necessarily consider it scary. One interview that I read said that he believed people would actually be laughing at some of the scenes. I guess what you like is a matter of taste. For example, some people like fried chicken, others can’t stand it. Although the story is meant to be entertaining, it is a fairly good study of the behavior of the paranoid schizophrenic personality. Back in 1960, I had never known such a person. Today I have known at least one person who falls into that category. Personality changes are almost unbelievable as you see them happening right

By: Cathy Elliott Small things can get a person's attention in a big way. This point was driven home to me while watching pre-race coverage from the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Martinsville in last month. Denny Hamlin was being interviewed, and at the bottom of the TV screen was a simple graphic that read, "Denny Hamlin, 29." Obviously, this was not a reference to Hamlin's car number. At that moment, I realized that Denny Hamlin is 29 years old. This year marks his fifth season of full-time competition in the Cup Series. He is an experienced race car driver, with nine Cup wins to his credit. If those Gillette “Young Guns� ads have a cutoff age, he’s probably getting close to it. So why do I always think of him as a kid? Maybe it’s his appearance. Freshfaced and clean-cut, if you take him out of a firesuit and deck him out in khakis and an oxford shirt, he could easily pass for a college student. Maybe it’s the fact that in the past, Hamlin has been quick to visibly lose his temper, with both his on-track rivals and in-the-pits crew members. Maybe it’s because he brashly announced last year that the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship trophy was basically his to lose. (That remark raised a few eyebrows, but Jimmie Johnson didn’t seem to pay it much attention.) Maybe it’s because he says things like “I’d like to thank my hot date� when giving speeches at high pro-

Gavin), and a private detective, Arbogast (Martin Balsam). We get our first clue that everything is not what it seems to be when the local sheriff, Chambers ( John McIntyre), reveals that Norman’s mother has been dead for 10 years. Sam and Lila are determined to investigate Norman and his activities at the motel. Their investigation leads to the fact that Norman Bates and his mother are one and the same person, i.e., multiple personality syndrome. The film did not receive any critical acclaim in the 1960s. But it has developed a following over the years. This is not unusual. Sometimes it takes years for people to appreciate a piece of work. Today we give a reel memories salute to Alfred Hitchcock for his classic work, Psycho (1960). 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.

before your eyes. That’s one of the reasons I consider the film worth mentioning. The story involves a young woman, Marion ( Janet Leigh) who steals $40,000 from her employer and decides to run away to meet her lover. After a run-in with the law, she stops at the Bates Motel where she meets Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins). It soon becomes clear that Norman is dominated by his mother when she overhears an argument between them. Presumably the jealousy of the mother leads to the shower scene where Marion is killed in one of the most dramatic slasher scenes made to date. (Hitchcock used 68 camera setups for a sixty-second segment.) Shortly, Norman arrives at the motel and discovers what his mother has done. He cleans up the mess and hides evidence by putting Marion and her belongings in her car and sinking it in a swamp near the motel. Meanwhile, several people are looking for Marion. Among them are her sister, Lila Crane (Vera Miles), her boyfriend, Sam Loomis ( John

file events like the 2009 NASCAR Sprint Cup awards ceremony. Or maybe it’s just because I’ve fallen victim to something parents have experienced for centuries -namely, a steadfast refusal to accept the fact that their kids have grown up. A great example of this is Jeff Gordon. Legions of former Dale Earnhardt, Sr. fans still scowl when they see that No. 24 Chevy blazing down a long straightaway at any racetrack in America. To them, he will always be the “Wonderboy,� the upstart kid who took The Intimidator to task so many times on the track, earning his fair share of victories along the way. Just to put things into perspective, that “kid� is fast approaching his twentieth season of Cup competition and will celebrate his 39th birthday this year. Or how about Earnhardt’s own son and namesake, who grew up before our very eyes? “Little E� is now a Daytona 500 champion with well over 300 career Cup starts, and his 36th birthday is coming up in October. That isn’t quite middle age, but it’s getting uncomfortably close. Before I completely alienate myself by pointing out any more of the most popular drivers in NASCAR who are “maturing,� let’s get back to Denny Hamlin. After moving up through the racing ranks by competing in gokarts, Grand Stocks, Late Model Stocks, the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the NASCAR Nationwide Series, Hamlin made a strong showing in his first full season of Cup Series racing in

2006, winning two races and Raybestos Rookie of the Year honors. He finished third in the driver standings that year. In fact, since the day he climbed into a Cup car full-time, Hamlin has made the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup each year. Aggressive and not given to much holding back on the track, he has forced the other drivers to take him seriously. And this year, he has demonstrated that force of will in another way, by running the first six races with a torn ACL in his knee. Those hurt -- just ask any professional basketball or football player if you don’t believe it -- and a driver’s knees take a pretty good beating during a Cup race. But Hamlin toughed it out, and then made a strong statement by winning the race at Martinsville on Monday before having arthroscopic surgery to repair the knee on Wednesday. He has also stated he plans to be ready for the next race, in Phoenix on April 10. Perhaps the key to success in racing, as in life, is to embrace all those experiences, the bad along with the good, that teach us how to improve our position a few points at a time while never letting go of the youthful energy and enthusiasm that got us where we are in the first place. The time has come to stop taking these talented young drivers we have watched for years now -- including Kasey Kahne, Kyle Busch and Brian Vickers along with Hamlin – literally at their unlined face value, and thinking of them as boys. Because they definitely drive like men.

Cultural women’s conference upcoming The tenth annual Multi-cultural Women’s Development Conference, is set for April 23 – 24 in Hayesville. One Dozen Who Care, Inc. (ODWC) was formed in 1998 by twelve community-minded African American women who wanted to make a difference in the quality of life for people in the community, to draw them out to use their talents and gifts in the community at large, and to effect a positive change for all women, youth and elders. Ann Woodford, Founder and Former Executive Director of ODWC envisioned the tremendous benefit that could be provided for women of all cultures and backgrounds by bringing them together for a twoday conference that focused on health, education, and entrepreneurship. Woodford, and the initial board members of ODWC, formed a Steering Committee to lay out the plans. Kassandra Greene, the Interim Executive Director continues to follow the mission of ODWC to strengthen local leaders and create strong community bonds through common culture interactions. One of the first projects implemented by ODWC to accomplish the mission was the Multi-cultural Women’s Development Conference (MWDC). The first MWDC was held in 2000. A former ODWC board member, Brenda Biddix, said she was so inspired at the first conference she attended that she published her first book. She has since self-published several books. Woodford and the ODWC board members see MWDC as being one of the strongest, most enriching programs in all of western NC for women of all cultures and backgrounds. The conference continues to be a motivational force for women in an ever expanding geographical area. ODWC will celebrate their 10th annual MWDC scheduled for April 23 and 24, 2010. The Keynote Speaker on April 23, 2010 will be Helen McInnis, Senior Associate, Community Development Corporation Grants Program for the NC Rural Center, and Saturday, April 24, Debra Collins, motivational, inspirational speaker, author and Founder of the DAC House, (Daughters of Abuse with Courage House) will be the Keynote Speaker. Brochures have been mailed and distributed over a wide area. If you would like to receive the brochure, please call the office 828-321-2273 and leave your name and phone number. If you have questions about the conference, or for further information, please call 828-3212273. Also please visit the website at www.odwc.org to read more about the presenters and speakers.

Brenda Kay Ledford to read

Brenda Kay Ledford and Joan Howard are set to read at Coffee With the Poets. Brenda Kay Ledford is a native of Clay County, NC. She earned her Master of Arts in Education from Western Carolina University. She studied Journalism at the University of Tennessee and was creative writing editor of "Tri-County Communicator." Ledford is a member of North Carolina Writers' Network, North Carolina Poetry Society, Byron Herbert Reece Society, Georgia Poetry Society, Appalachian Writers' Assocation, and listed with A DIRECTORY OF AMERICAN POETS AND FICTION WRITERS. Her work has appeared in "Our State," "Chicken Soup for the Soul," "Country Extra," "The Journal of Kentucky Studies," "Asheville Poetry Review," and other journals. Finishing Line Press published her poetry books, SHEW BIRD MOUNTAIN and SACRED FIRE. She

received the Paul Green Award for both collections. Joan Howard (not pictured) divides her time between Athens and Hiawassee, Georgia, where she has been drawn by the mountains and waters. Her poetry reflects the mystery of nature in all its guises, the slender moon slipping into a mountain crest or the frost on delicate roadside weeds. She pays attention to the detail, using words as a painter uses a brush. Joan is a retired school teacher and a member of The North Carolina Writers Network (Netwest). Please come for a morning of reading pleasure on Wednesday, April 14. The featured readers will be followed by an open mic, an opportunity for anyone who would like, to read and share their work. Coffee with the Poets is sponsored by Netwest and hosted by Phillips and LLyod Book Shop on the square in Hayesville North Carolina. Coffee, tea and morning pastries are served for a small fee by Crumpets Dessertery.

Poetry council Titanic museum opens in one week announces contests Regis Philbin to

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.

Mountain bogs vanishing By: Zoe Schumaker Columnist Across America, there is growing appreciation of the role of wetlands in supporting bird migration and providing habitat to unique plants and animals. In Southern Appalachia, we have an especially rare – and important -- form of wetlands known as the “mountain bog�. As with other (lowland) bogs, mountain bogs develop in level areas within river and stream floodplains. Groundwater from springs and underground “seeps� helps keep the area perpetually moist. Over time, decaying vegetation accumulates, creating very acidic, low-nutrient soils, often including a layer of sphagnum (peat) moss. This soil, along with our “temperate rainforest� climate and steep surrounding mountains, creates a unique habitat, supporting more than 90 species of rare plants and animals. Though most often occurring in clearings, mountain bogs may include trees such as pines, water birch, alders, and silky dogwood. Bog laurel, swamp pink, cinnamon and sensitive fern, horsetails, ground pine, swamp milkweed, sedges, selaginellas, and small orchids are commonly present. Some of the more interesting bog plants compensate for the lack of nutrients in the soil by trapping insects. Sundew is a small plant with tiny droplets of sticky nectar on its leaves. Attracted to the nectar, insects become stuck and are then absorbed

by the plant. Mountain pitcher plant traps insects within its long, slender, tube-shaped leaves. This very rare plant occurs in only a few sites in the world beyond Northern Georgia and the Carolinas. Indigenous bog animals are rare, although bogs are visited by a variety of birds, as well as raccoon and deer. Our mountain bogs are home to the bog turtle, a small freshwater species that is endangered and nearly extinct in Georgia. In 2005, a coalition of organizations initiated a project to restore turtles to a protected bog in Union County. Most of Southern Appalachia’s bogs have been lost over the centuries. The relatively flat and wellirrigated land was among the first to be converted to farmland, and more recently, home sites. Bogs are also very sensitive to natural succession (replacement of species). It is estimated that less than 10 percent of the original Southern Appalachian bogs remain. If you are fortunate enough to have springs or seeps on your property, consider leaving them as natural wetlands, or perhaps cultivating a “bog garden�. A demonstration bog garden has been developed at the Georgia Mountain Research and Education Center (GMREC) in Blairsville, Georgia.

With the passage of Healthcare reform, there is the hope that the spiraling health care costs will be reduced or at least slowed down. As human healthcare costs have increased over the years, the same has been occurring in the area of pet health care. Since the medications, equipment, and technology that are used in people are also used in pets, it is not surprising that treating Fido is getting more expensive, especially since pet owners now expect and even demand the same favorable outcomes. Human health insurance has been the key to help people pay for unexpected medical illness or injuries. For the insured, the sting of high costs is not really felt to any great extent once the deductible(s) are met and only the copay is required. Although there is concern for the 30 million people that don’t have health insurance and, indeed, this is the main reason that Congress and President Obama justified the recent overhaul of the US health care system; the reality is that most US citizens have some form of health insurance. The reverse is true when we think about pet health care where we see that only 3% of all family pets have pet health insurance. Therefore, for 97% of us, when the veterinary bills come along, they must be paid with unbudgeted disposable income which, in the case of catastrophic injury or illness, can cause significant financial distress. Despite the availability of excellent pet health insurance policies that are now in the market place, the reality is there is no widespread use of pet insurance and this leaves the general public with the perception in many cases that veterinary care is simply too expensive. Most veterinarians are keenly aware of this problem and have identified and/or developed several ways to help their clients with these types of pet care financial dilemmas. Lake Chatuge Animal Hospital (LCAH) in Young Harris has undertaken several measures to ensure pet health care is fairly priced and more affordable. First, LCAH uses simple market research done by a consultant who annually assesses the demographics of the local area. This information allows them to provide fair pricing and meet their increasing overhead costs that include high quality and well trained professional staff in a modern clean facility.

Mountain Community Chorus features wealth of local talent

Mountain Community Chorus is blessed with an enormous wealth of talent. The 60 + chorus, representing North GA and Western NC, boasts choir directors and music teachers; most valued and honored is Director William (Bill) Fox. William Fox was born one of seven children in Ranger, NC. Later relocating to Blairsville GA, Bill attended Union County High School. While directing the Young Harris College choir at his school, he decided he would “have to sing in this choir.” Pursuing his music career, Bill entered Young Harris College in 1948, graduating in 1950. He went on to study at Georgia Teachers’ College where in 1952, he earned a B.S. in Music Education. Degree in hand, Bill obtained a position at Young Harris College, where he would teach and chair the Music and Fine Arts Department for the next 40 years, retiring in 1992. Coinciding with Bill’s YHC position, he served for 55 years as the Music Director at Sharp Memorial United Methodist Church in Young Harris, GA. In the early 1970’s, Bill sang with the newly formed Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus, under Dr. Robert Shaw, traveling to Atlanta for rehearsals.. Bill uses the knowledge he learned from Dr. Shaw in his conducting today, often passing along Shaw’s instructions in weekly rehearsals with Mountain Community Chorus. Bill’s career with Mountain Community Chorus began in 1977; in the mid 1980’s, he was asked to take over the director’s position. Bill is still conducting the mountain chorus, continuing its mission of “singing quality choral music to the best degree of perfection possible.” Please join Mountain Community Chorus in their 36th annual spring concerts Friday, April 30th, 8:00 PM and Sunday, May 2nd, 3:00 PM, Clegg Recital Hall, Young Harris College. Admission is free; donations are welcomed. Visit www. mapaa.org.

Author Alice Blanton to sign books April 16 A book signing is scheduled for Alice Blanton, Friday, April 16th from 4 – 6 p.m. at the Spring Street Café, located at 3 East Jackson Street, Sylva. Tell Me No Lies is Alice’s first novel. Alice’s roots in western NC go back 63 years. All are invited to meet with Alice and consider her first novel as your next book to read. Alice Blanton had the happy privilege of spending eleven summers in Swain County, NC. She raised her family in the Cowee Community of Macon County and is no stranger to farm life. She now lives in Marble, Cherokee County, with her cat, Little Bit. For many years Alice was a member, and teacher, at the Liberty Baptist Church of Macon County. Alice’s sister and brotherin-law live in Macon County, as does her

daughter and granddaughter. Her son lives in Knoxville, TN and her grandson and wife live in Asheville. While spending a few years in Florida, she attended Glory Chapel on the grounds of Youth Challenge of Florida, a men’s drug rehabilitation center, where she volunteered her time to prepare many meals for the center. Sadly, today, there are many who experience the crushing disappointments when loved ones break promises to quit painful habits. Tell Me No Lies is a well-crafted social drama that keenly reflects the trials familiar to ones who are dealing with loved ones struggling with alcohol and drug dependencies. Yet, Lies is also a story about hope and forgiveness, and the price paid for enduring against all odds.

If you are dealing with similar situations, and have not experienced the immeasurable joy when a seemingly hopeless situation rebounds beyond expectation, experience it with Lynn Sutton, the protagonist in Ms. Blanton’s novel. Because of her connections to Youth Challenge of Florida, she witnessed first hand the agony of people battling drug addictions, and also the great joy of seeing many of them set free. The book, Tell Me No Lies, touches on many aspects of the lives of those with life controlling habits. Lies is the culmination of over ten years of writing and Ms. Blanton’s persistent efforts to publish a story that she feels will inspire others. Consultant, Ronda Birtha (www. rondabirtha.com), assisted Ms. Blanton with

copyright registration, obtaining an ISBN number, and finding the most cost-efficient, and reputable, self-publishing service that fit Ms. Blanton’s needs. Cover design and illustrations were provided by Ms. Blanton’s son, Keith Blanton, and daughter, Robbie Pruett. After moving to Cherokee County, she was a reporter and office assistant for the Cherokee Sentinel newspaper for four and one-half years. She also had a column each week in the Sentinel. In 2005 Alice became Office Assistant for a non-profit Community Development Corporation, One Dozen Who Care, Inc., based in Andrews, NC. where she is still employed part time. Alice now attends Eastgate Church in Hiawassee, GA.
