Landrum Tomorrow sends out 400 mailers in support of alcohol referendum

by Leah Justice

A group of Landrum residents and businesses has formed to get more tourists to the city, with the first project being trying to get citizens to approve a referendum

allowing restaurants to sell alcohol on Sundays.

Landrum Tomorrow has sent out approximately 400 mailers explaining the organization’s view of the revenue benefits the

city would see from the passage of the alcohol referendum.

Polk sheriff, SBI bust second meth lab this year

by Leah Justice

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and N.C. State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) this week busted their second methamphetamine lab in Polk County this year.

The lab was discovered in the Green Creek community on Monday, Nov. 1.

Flint Oniel Henderson, 52, of 560 Phillip Henderson Road, Rutherfordton, N.C., was arrested and charged with one count of felony manufacturing methamphetamine, one count of felony maintaining a vehicle/ dwelling/place for a controlled substance, one count of felony possession/distribution of methamphetamine precursor and one count of felony possession of weapon of mass destruction, according to sheriff’s office

reports.

Also arrested was Karrie Leigh Kight, 29, of 560 Phillip Henderson Road, Rutherfordton, N.C., who was charged with one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Investigators said they executed a search warrant of the suspected meth lab and located a variety of material used in the production of methamphetamine, including decongestants, lithium batteries, salts and propane. The methamphetamine was being produced in a 20-ounce plastic bottle, according to the sheriff’s office.

A hazardous materials team out of Spartanburg, S.C., was called in to clean up the material.

The Green Creek lab, Polk’s second this year, was classified

Flint Oniel Henderson

as a small lab.

The Polk County Sheriff’s Office and SBI busted the largest meth lab in Polk County’s history on Aug. 24, 2011 in the Sunny View community. The Sunny View bust was the first meth lab to be discovered in Polk County since 2007.

Arrested in the Sunny View bust were Jessica Nicole Hardin and Jason Carroll Barnes, who were charged with manufacturing methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, as well as charges associated with having two toddlers in the home while producing methamphetamine.

Hardin and Barnes were scheduled to appear in Polk County District Court yesterday, Wednesday, Nov. 2.

No children were living in the home where the Green Creek meth lab was busted this week.

Henderson was given a $25,000 bond, according to sheriff’s office reports, while Kight was released on a written promise to appear in court.

Tryon United Methodist honors and remembers vets

by Samantha Hurst

Tryon United Methodist Church (TUMC) plans to honor veterans Sunday, Nov. 6 with a celebration of their military careers and the creation of a book to keep those memories preserved. “‘Honor and Remember’ pays tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform and have fought for our freedom,” reads the opening of the book. “This reminds us that the ultimate sacrifice for our eternal freedom was made by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

Members of TUMC or their children who have served in any of the eight branches of the military were invited to submit military biographies, as well as photos if they wished, for TUMC’s “Honor and Remember” book.

In all, 40 members responded,

“‘Honor and Remember’ pays tribute to the bravery and sacrifices of the men and women who have worn our nation’s uniform and have fought for our freedom.

This reminds us that the ultimate sacrifice for our eternal freedom was made by our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”

Albree spent just shy of 26 years in military service – almost 24 in the Army and almost four in the Marine Corps.

Some participants spent short stints in the armed services, having been drafted or enlisting during World War II. A 2 5 - y e a r- o l d H u b e r t Charles Crater, for example, entered the Navy in June 1944.

He served as a radioman on the USS Drexler, which during the battle of Okinawa was hit by two Japanese Kamikaze warplanes and sank in less than a minute. The hit killed 158 crew members, but Crater managed to save two of his shipmates from drowning – they remained afloat until they were rescued two hours later.

A 2003 Landrum High School graduate, Everette Adam Palmer, joined the Army after graduation. Palmer saw combat on multiple deployments in Iraq, including sustaining serious injuries from an Improvised Explosive Device.

Palmer said in his summary that he was overwhelmed by all of the love and prayers he received locally after the attack and when he returned home.

Other members or family of members included in the book are: Army • John Allen Albree II • Robert W. Bailey • Guy Beaumont • John A. Dalgren • David L. Hart • Larry Hedgepath • Mike Justiss • Charles W. McCall Jr.

The church will commemorate the book and honor its veterans with a ceremony at 11 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6. The church also invited members of the local VFW and American Legion to attend.

gently for them until, over several days and many miles, one by one the ragged and tired beagles were gathered up and taken home to safety.

It really happened. On Sunday, Oct. 16, the Old Tryon Foot Beagles opened their hunting season with a Blessing of the Beagles and a first release of the hounds.

In short order they were off and gone, and I mean really gone, much to huntsman Randy Mitchell’s dismay. The 14 beagles raised a cub and took off running willy-nilly throughout the Gowensville area, raising rabbits, foxes, deer and who knows what else. That posed no small problem in location

Hear a parable: A huntsman set out with his seven couple (14) small hounds to loose them for joy and entertainment, and to fulfill that for which beagles were created – the chasing of rabbits.

On a sunny afternoon in the presence of a goodly company, the beagles, having been duly blessed by the priest on the first hunt of the season, were loosed to nose to and fro amidst the brush.

Soon they raised a cry, but the quarry was a fox which led them far from the huntsman and safety.

and retrieval.

However, I am happy to report that all seven couple were finally brought home, though somewhat bedraggled and hungry.

What makes this a parable? In the Parable of the Lost Sheep, Jesus describes how the good shepherd leaves the flock in the wilderness to go in search of the one lamb which had gone astray. The Parable of the Lost Beagles does the same, though it may make Randy squirm a bit to be compared to the ultimate Good Shepherd.

We humans, like errant beagles, have been loosed on the earth to fulfill our divine purpose – i.e. to do God’s will in God’s creation.

However, we are sometimes, if not often, distracted and

led astray by things we find irresistibly attractive, so off we go with God running behind, calling us to return to that for which we are intended.

Even when we blatantly ignore the call of the horn and the voice of the master, and get farther and farther from our true home and purpose, the huntsman never ceases to search for us and call us back to him. Like the good shepherd, he works unceasingly to find and retrieve us from among the briars and tangles of life – whatever the cost to himself.

And when we are found it is comfort and warmth, not anger and punishment, that await us.

Where do I put it? Large-scale composting options Laura Williams, Vaughn Loeffler, Joyce Hicks, Linda Byington and I attended a weeklong course teaching us about small and large scale composting.

Personally, I have minimal interest in backyard composting because I live in the country with chickens eager to deal with kitchen scraps, a manure spreader to take care of manure and plenty of open spaces to deal with yard debris.

In short, our lifestyle is similar to that of country folk 40 years ago.

Now we have transportation to enable us to take our inorganic waste to the dump rather than put them in the trash pit over the hill, as the residents did before us.

You probably have a judgment about that practice, putting garbage in the pit out back, but you must remember that most of us do the best we can with the resources available to us.

The Bishop family that lived here before us had very little inorganic trash or plastic to deal with; consequently the garbage pit is small. All that is left now is some broken glass that makes its way to the surface every year, for us to pick out and throw away.

Where do I take it?

leftover tomatoes in the same trash bin as the container those tomatoes came in is robbing the earth of its future. We cannot continue to take the best our earth has to offer in the way of food and nutrients, then bury those nutrients along with plastic and metal contaminants in a sealed pit.

Most of us reading this column are old folks who can remember a simpler life. Some of the things our parents believed have proven through time to have been wrong or superstitious. Some of them were lies promoted by the media, and our parents tended to believe what they read or heard over the radio. We are a bit more savvy, since we know that there are at least as many lies told though the media as truths.

Our job is to sift through those things we learned from our parents, to discern those, which were true and those which weren’t.

Those elemental truths of our parents need to be brought to light again, before we’re dead and the idea is lost.

There is no such thing as trash; only things that are in the wrong place or in unusable form. As Mother said: Everything in its proper place.

Sneak peek at local businesses participating in Bark-in-the-Park Local businesses are stepping up to help Lennie’s Kids’ second annual “Bark-in-the-Park.”

The following companies have donated prizes for the raffle: Costco of Spartanburg; Red Fox Country Club, Tryon Country Club, Side Street Pizza, Drake House of Landrum, Mount View Grill, Larkin’s in Columbus, Carruth’s Furniture, Tammy Gilbert Massage, Nature’s Storehouse, Landrum Car Wash, Landrum Lube, Car Quest of Columbus, Landrum NAPA, Landrum Hardware, Gibbs Welding and Crane Service, Inc., Hay Rack of Landrum, Williamson’s Paint Center, Landrum Vet, Tryon Mountain Hardware, Cowan’s Hardware, Pet Gallery of Landrum and Book Shelf of Tryon.

Also contributing is Little Mountain Farm Supply, which donated brand new horse blankets, feeding buckets, gear bags, halters and much more. These items will be sold during the event.

Bark-in-the-Park will be Nov. 5 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Harmon Field walking trails. The event raises funds for Lennie’s Kids, which works with Foothills Humane Society and local vets to assist sick, injured and abandoned animals by helping provide medical care and placing them in foster and forever homes.

A large percentage of these animals come into the shelter with high-level heartworms and are difficult to adopt out because of the expense to treat this con-

dition.

Rather than euthanize these animals, Lennie Rizzo of Lennie’s Kids finds willing adopters or foster homes and then takes on much of the financial responsibility for their medical care himself, giving them a second chance.

To participate in this fundraiser, walkers (with or without their pets) are asked to get family, friends, co-workers and even strangers to sponsor them by donating money for Lennie’s Kids. No minimum donation is required. Walkers can collect money from sponsors and bring it, along with their walking shoes, on Nov. 5 to take part in this event.

Harmon Field’s trail is just over one mile, and participants

can walk as much or as little as they desire, even looping multiple times if they wish. Dogs must be properly leashed. Company, church and school groups are encouraged to take part.

There will be concessions for lunch with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, chips and drinks available, with all proceeds going to Lennie’s Kids. Lennie’s Kids T-shirts will be available for purchase.

This event is sponsored by Gibbs Welding and Crane Service, Inc. in Landrum. To register to participate or preorder T-shirts, call 864-457-4544 and ask for Ami or Terri or email gibbswelding@windstream.net.

the Tryon Daily Bulletin – just $36 for six months.

Tryon Arts and Crafts School (TACS) recently reorganized their leadership structure by eliminating the executive director position and adding three part-time director positions. According to president of the board, Ruby Drew, TACS was in a very good situation whereby the growth of the school required more leadership than a single position could cover. The board of directors developed a plan whereby three part-time directors were hired based on their skill sets and were paired with increased needs of the school.

The new director of workshops and classes and senior director is Julie McIntyre. McIntyre has served TACS as previous president of the board, chair of capital projects and co-chair of the workshop committee. She teaches courses in felting, metal work and lampworking. She is a licensed architect and has worked in that field for 33 years. McIntyre has lived in Tryon for 10 years and also works for BradyTrakas as an architect.

The new director of special events is Christine Mariotti.

Mariotti has previously served on the board of directors as vicepresident and has taught courses in Chinese brush painting and other forms of textile art including painting on silk. Mariotti holds a degree in art education and has taught in community colleges and privately for most of her career. She is author of a book “The Art of Silk Painting,” part of the Walter Foster series of art books. She moved to Tryon in 2008 and became involved in the arts community.

The new director of fundraising and grant writing is Jacqueline Brown-Williams. BrownWilliams holds a B.A. in speech/ drama, an MAT in humanities/ education and a M.Ed. in guidance/counseling. She has served as a grants writer and project coordinator for KY education television, has served as executive director of a large privately funded public organization and
