Saluda reports successful 48th annual Coon Dog Day

by Leah Justice

The City of Saluda reported a successful Coon Dog Day, especially the 5K run that involved 215 runners.

The Saluda Board of Commissioners met Monday, Aug. 8 with administrative assistant Monica Pace reviewing costs and revenue for the 48th annual festival held in July.

Donations for this year’s festival totaled $3,403 for the festival and an additional $2,150 coming in as sponsorships from 13 local businesses for the 5K run. Bottled water and fruit was also donated for participants of the 5K run.

Pace said the city saw a great turnout for this year’s 5K with 215 runners. This year’s race was sponsored for the first time by the city.

The city spent a total of $17,706 on the festival and 5K run, not including employee expenses. Festival revenues

included $13,714 from vendors and donations and race revenues included $8,208 from sponsorships and race registration fees.

Race expenses for the city totaled $4,707, with some of the expenses being one time only and won’t be incurred in future years, staff members said. Race revenues included $2,150 as sponsorships from the local businesses and $6,058 in registration fees for a race profit of $3,501 this year.

Pace reported that the city has received a lot of feedback from participants, with most of it being positive and she will work on improvements for next year’s race.

“For the most part, everyone was very pleased with the run organization, the course, and especially the T-shirts,” Pace said.

The festival itself saw 23 food vendors, 35 craft vendors, five amusement spaces and nine civic spaces to local nonprofits

Saluda hosted the 48th annual Coon Dog Day event the weekend following July 4th with success. The event brought in thousands of people including a multitude of vendors.

Sherlock Holmes’ author featured at Gillette Day event

Henry Zecher, author of “Williams Gillette America’s Sherlock Holmes” shared a laugh and his book with John and Lucy Johnson at Miss Hudson’s breakfast, a part of William Gillette Day festivities on July 23 in recognition of Gillette’s birthday. Zecher was the featured speaker and pointed out the many connections Gillette had with Polk County and Sherlock Holmes, whom Gillette portrayed on stage.

The Polk County Historical Museum, 60 Walker St., Columbus, now features items of Gillette’s, even one of his love letters. Shown are Henry Zecher and Lucy and John Johnson. (photo submitted)

Trakas speaks about Greeks settling in the Upstate at Lanier Library Deno Trakas, a professor of English at Wofford College, will describe the immigration and settlement of a Greek community in Spartanburg and the South Carolina Upstate on Tuesday, Aug. 16 at noon at the Lanier Library.

In his book “Because Memory Isn’t Eternal: A Story of Greeks in Upstate South Carolina” Trakas describes how his grandfather, Nicholas Trakas, left his village in southern Greece, boarded a steamship for America, made his way to Ellis Island, and from there to Spartanburg, where he became the city’s first Greek resident.

He opened The Elite, one of the finest candy kitchens in the South, built a house on a $44 lot, bought a pet parrot that could cuss in Greek and began a wave of immigration from his home country into the growing Upstate area.

Trakas tells a personal but, as he says, peculiarly Southern story by describing four generations of Trakas family members, their friends and their hardworking business partners.

Deno Trakas

Through them he’s able to tell greater story. Trakas reflects on how these complex, larger-than-life characters have preserved the best of Greek culture down South. This memoir includes many misadventures, including the day two Trakas boys accidentally burned down the family’s church.

In addition to “Because Memory Isn’t Eternal,” Trakas has published fiction and poetry in many literary magazines and anthologies and two of his poetry chapbooks, “The Shuffle of Wings” and “Human and Puny,” are published by Halocene Press.

The free program is part of the Lanier Library’s Brown Bag Lunch series.

made the 1929 crash look like happy hour.

With economies across the interdependent world at stake, remedies require consensus from the best minds available.

The road back is long and hard but not as severe as the period between 1929 and World War II. The Republican Party leader-

ship represents a road block to problem solving with an attitude of “up with the rich; down with the poor, the elderly, the unemployed.”

Who pays? The middle class.

Titillation rather than hard news from major networks and periodicals fuels a return to office of the same mindset that created America’s disaster in the

first place.

Only this time it is more mean-spirited and lethal.

Protecting the enormously wealthy will bring this country down.

The GOP will do anything to bring Obama down, including destroying this nation.

Crosses should be true symbol of divine —Rev. Michael Doty holy Cross Episcopal Church “A Stetson hat and a pair of boots do not a cowboy make.”

“Fifteen miles and a $15,000 dollar motorcycle do not a biker make.”

“A fancy gold cross does not a Christian make.”

Since I am on vacation, and away from my duties at Holy Cross during August, I have had the opportunity to watch what goes on in the world around me a little more intently.

For instance, while recently at Folly Beach with our youth group,

hiding behind my sunglasses I saw an amazing number and styles of crosses tattooed onto bare arms, backs, bellies, legs and the barely hidden nether regions of the human anatomy.

The “bling” (if that word is still in vogue for tacky jewelry) displayed by old and young alike was gaudily festooned with innumerable styles of crosses. And the T-shirts with crosses were a veritable serigrapher’s nightmare of variations.

It appeared, if the display of crosses in Folly Beach were any clue, that you can’t swing a dead sand crab without hitting a devout Christian – semi-naked or otherwise.

“It appeared, if the display of crosses in Folly Beach were any clue, that you can’t swing a dead sand crab without hitting a devout Christian ... semi-naked or otherwise. ” But what some people think the sign of the cross is all about came as a shock last week when I took a motorcycle ride to Asheville.

Now, if you go to Asheville at all you know the bumper sticker “KEEP ASHEVILLE WEIRD” is not only humorous, but true.

At one point I wound up downtown near Pritchard Park looking for a bite of lunch. As I was stowing my helmet and gloves one of the street folk came over to compliment the looks of my ride.

Trying to think of something polite to say in reply in return I noted that he was wearing a modest cross on a leather thong around his neck.

“Nice cross.”

“Yeah, man. That’s my talisman. It protects me.”

“Really? That’s nice. Where do you go to church?”

“Ah, man. I don’t do that church &#@*.”

“OK. So how do Jesus and that cross protect you?”

“Who?” These days sacred symbols seem to be a dime a dozen; usually displayed as mindless and unreflective decorations; at worst seen and used as magical totems – but, oh, so rarely as a display of genuine commitment and devotion.

To be a cowboy or hardcore biker is a way of life. To be a Christian is a way of life.

merely display a cross publically is to invite imprisonment or death because it declares to the world that the one who puts forward that sacred symbol adheres to a set of values rooted in the ministry, teaching, life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ – a lifestyle, not merely a tag or an empty display.

Nor is a cross a magic symbol with which to conjure God’s favor by some ostentatious display.

The symbol of the cross is far more powerful than mere magic because if seen and understood as a true symbol of the divine presence in the world it can elicit change on the most fundamental levels of human life.

Verlie Murphy wax painting. (photo submitted)

Saluda Inn’s new show, ‘Crossroads’ The Saluda Inn, Wine Cellar announces its next show “Crossroads,” Aug. 12 and 13. The opening reception will be Aug. 13 from 5 - 8 p.m. The show features five artists; Verlie Murphy, Linda Seagroves, Larsen Dunn, Karen Johnson and Jocelyn Davis. Each artist has her own distinct medium: Verlie Murphy, encaustic wax; Linda Seagroves, folk art paintings and whimsical clay sculpture; Larsen Dunn, metal smith jewelry; Karen Johnson, drawing and painting; Jocelyn Davis, oil paintings in landscape and still life.

Featured artist Verlie Murphy states, “Encaustic means to ‘burn in’ and my wax paintings are created with a heated stylus and a special temperature controlled encaustic iron. I love this medium because there is always an element of surprise when working with melted wax; it is my goal as an artist to activate the viewer’s imagination; to cause them to see not only my intended imagery but also the unintended visions from their mind. Much like a sculptor who feels that he is simply ‘freeing up’ whatever is inside his wood; my images find their way to the surface; to tell a story; like magic.”

Saturday, Aug. 13 Tryon United Methodist Church celebrates the start of a new school year with a community-wide back to school bash for students, teachers and parents from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the event will include free food, games and air-filled fun for the kids, resources for parents and gifts for teachers. Tote bags filled with school supplies will be distributed to the first 100 students.

The event began to really take shape when students from Rhonda Hill’s class at Polk County High School hand-painted a colorful logo on the tote bags. The congregation accumulated school sup-

plies and other church members began a campaign to contribute new or little-used winter coats for school-age children and even free back-to-school haircuts. Representatives from police, fire and health departments also accepted invitations to be present.

Families throughout Polk County are invited to join the fun.

Tryon United Methodist Church is located at 195 New Market Road.

For more detailed information, call the church office at 859-9218 or visit www.gbgm-umc.org/ tryonumc.

Local artist recycles fur coats into teddy bears When Linda Boiter started crafting teddy bears she soon discovered the joy of creating a treasured work of art from “grandma’s old fur coat.”

Boiter constructs adorable bears (and other animals) worthy of passing along for generations to come. Her bears’ arms, legs and heads move and they have hand-painted glass eyes. Perhaps you have a fur coat or fur wrap that’s no longer in style - bring it to Kathleen’s Gallery on Aug. 20 and Boiter can have a lovable heirloom teddy bear ready for you

by Christmastime.

Boiter has been sewing for more than 20 years now, making her first stuffed animal in high school. Her first teddy bear came years later.

“I met my friend, Lise Wiley, eight years ago and she had been making many of her teddy bears at her home,” recalls Boiter. “That is when I became more serious about making bears. Lise and I still make teddy bears today for close friends and family. Everyone loves them because each has its own personality,” she said. “Recently, I made a special teddy bear for a former NASCAR driver, Richard Petty. It was made to resemble his recognizable looks with “Petty Blue” colored fur, dark sunglasses and a feathered cowboy hat. I also painted STP on one of the paws.”

Boiter sometime uses faux fur in wonderfully outrageous colors but they all “bear” her signature of fine craftsmanship and embroidered paw designs. You can see some of Boiter’s bears at Kathleen’s Gallery during the Tryon Gallery Trot on Aug. 20, from 5 to 8 p.m.

Local artist to lead drawing workshop Christine Mariotti, local artist and instructor will repeat the workshop “Draw til You Drop” at the Tryon Painters and Sculptors new gallery and studio space located at 26 Maple Street in Tryon.

The popular class, designed for those who are new to drawing or think they cannot draw, will be held Friday, Aug. 19 and Saturday, Aug. 20 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. each day.

The exercises in the workshop are based on Betty Edwards’ book, “Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.” It is intended to guide the artist through basic exercises that permit one to see the world more creatively and to draw what one really sees instead of what one thinks they see.

One of the drawing exercises is upside down drawing shown in the illustration above.

Runners from last years Ache Around the Lake. (photo submitted by Jennifer Wilson)

Millard & Company Challenge part of Ache Around the Lake Ache Around the Lake organizers are excited to announce that Andy Millard of Millard & Company has offered a $250 cash challenge to the male and female runner who breaks the course record in their category for the Sept. 24 run.

“Being a runner myself, I want to see this race promoted,” said Millard. “We have several great running events in our area and one way to promote these is to attract really good runners. The Ache course is tough and hilly but beautiful. This is such a unique race and I hope the Millard & Company chal-

lenge appeals to these great runners and draws attention to our area for this race and other area events.”

Ache Around the Lake is an annual benefit for St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation that includes three fun ways to offer support: The Ache (8K or 5 miles); The Ouch (a 2-mile fun run); and a Race Morning Brunch at the historic Lake Lanier Tea House. St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation will be raising dollars that will go towards the purchase of an Omnicell One-cell Omnisupplier for Anesthesia. For improved patient care and safety, the Omnicell supply system will

provide St. Luke’s Hospital with a secure and flexible means of managing anesthesia supplies and medication.

Register before Sept. 10 at 9 p.m. (online only) for a reduced registration fee. You can register through race morning. T-shirts will go to the first 200 registered participants. Brunch tickets must be purchased in advance. Half of each ticket is a tax-deductible donation to the Foundation. Visit www.achearoundthelake.org to register or learn more.

A continued time of fellowship will take place after the program. Special guests at the program will be Eloise Thwing, Outreach’s first director, and Tony Sayer, the minister of

Columbus United Methodist Church is celebrating 50 years

of service in Christ this year.

As part of that celebration, the church will be highlighting mission work done throughout these fifty years.
