Area emergency crews were kept busy through Thursday night, dealing with fallen trees, downed pow-er lines and power out-ages. Many a r e a r e s i -dents were still without power Friday morning.
Landrum Drug owner Dennis Burdette, who lives in Duncan, S.C., said he found out about the damage to his store around 9 p.m. Thursday.
“It just ripped my roof off,” Burdette said.
Twelve hours later, at 9 a.m. Friday morning, Service-Master crews worked inside the building, covering items with tarps and throwing away debris.

“If I was someone in Polk County who I knew I’d sold pills in the last nine months, I’d be freaking out, thinking I’d be the next one. “here’s no negotiation. I’ve made that clear and will prosecute. I’m sick of the pills.”

The sheriff’s office has fo-cused on prescription medication, but is also making arrests for other drugs, such as marijuana and cocaine.
So far, the sheriff’s office has ar res ted Christian Her-bert Reith, 31, of 285 Marcel-lina, Fairview and Dwayne Dennis Forney, 31, of 26 Peake St., Tryon. Re-ith was charged w i t h t h r e e counts of mis-demeanor child a b u s e , t h r e e counts of possession of marijuana with intent to sell and deliver and three counts of maintaining a ve-hicle for transporting, according to sheriff’s office reports.
Forney was charged with pos-session with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to sheriff’s reports.
Operation Pill Sweep is an undercover operation targeting in-
dividuals selling large amounts (trafficking lev-els) of prescrip-tion medications in Polk County, Hill said.
The opera-tion has been jointly managed over the past nine months by the sheriff’s of-fice and the N.C. State Bureau of Inves t iga t ion (SBI). The agen-
cies have worked with a special agent with the U.S. Veteran’s Affairs Office, as well as the Spar-tanburg County and Buncombe County Sheriff’s Offices. Hill said
in his years working in Polk County he cannot remember another opera-tion of this magnitude ever having been undertaken.
“Prescription medication is one of the biggest problems in Polk County,” said Hill.
Hill said he is tired of respond-ing to overdoses due to prescription medication and he is offering no negotiations in these cases. He said prescription medication use is big among young people.
“If I was someone in Polk County and I knew I’d sold pills
in the last nine months, I’d be freaking out, thinking I’d be the next one,” said Hill. “There’s no negotiation. I’ve made that clear and will prosecute. I’m sick of the pills.”
Hill said undercover officers have purchased an array of drugs in the operation, including marijuana, cocaine and painkillers such as oxycodone, oxycontin, Percocet, lortab, hydrocodone and Xanax.

Mill Spring, Saluda post offices to stay open through USPS changesCustomers will not be affected by changes, USPS saysby Leah Justice
The United States Postal Service (USPS) is making changes because of a decline in revenue, but local post offices, including those in Mill Spring and Saluda, will remain open.
According to USPS spokes-person Enola Rice, the route
for the Mill Spring Post Office has changed to Columbus, but nothing changes for customers. The only change is where the postal workers sort the mail, according to Rice.
No decisions have been made regarding the possibility of changing Saluda’s route, Rice said.
Rice said the postal service is experiencing a huge decline in mailing. Over the last year, the postal service has lost $8.5
billion in revenue. This year so far, Rice said the postal service has lost $1 billion in revenue.
The postal service does not operate on tax dollars and survives purely on products and services, Rice said, so how efficient each post office is operating is being carefully examined.
Rice said changes are being considered nationwide to the USPS’s 32,000 facilities in
order to maintain services into the future.
Rice said the customers at Mill Spring should notice no changes as post office boxes and mailing will remain the same although the route has changed.
Polk County has post offices located in Mill Spring, Saluda, Columbus, Lynn and Tryon.

drug problem we have in Polk County,” said Hill. “Some of the reason we have such a problem is that we’re a small, rural county that is spread out and we don’t have the manpower and the drug dealers know that. But, with this operation we put a dent in the problem and
have taken some noted players off the street. I hurt the supply and the availability.”
Hill said his office has seized two vehicles so far and has purchased an estimated 2,000 prescription pills.
He said the people selling them vary in age, ethnicity, social status and occupation. Several are vet-erans, he said, which is why the U.S. Veteran’s Affairs is involved.
Hill said the warrants range from offenses such as veterans and other people selling their own prescribed medication to people who purchase pills and resell them.
Hill said he anticipates making one to two arrests per week over the next week or so.
Look for more coverage in the Bulletin as arrests are made in Operation Pill Sweep.

Welcome to the
Hanukkah & Kwanzaa
A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!
Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight can-dles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews. When the Jews would not worship the pagans, Epiphanes raided and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. After seven years of fight-ing, Maccabee regained control, and the Temple was restored. The famous story states that only a small vial of oil was found to light the eternal lamps, yet they were blessed and burned for eight days, giving the Jewish people enough time to acquire more oil for the lamps. The symbolic lighting of the menorah occurs at sundown for the eight days during Hanukkah. Children also trade gifts and play with games and toys, such as a driedel. Special foods, such as fried potato cakes and fried donuts, are served during Hanukkah. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Professor Maulana Karenga, a Black Studies professor from California State University in Long Beach, California. Kwanzaa is a celebration of the African family and culture. It begins on December 26 and ends on January 1. The name Kwan-zaa comes from the Swahili term which means “first fruits of harvest.” Much like the menorah of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa has seven symbolic candles lit each night symbolizing aspects of the culture. Each night, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa-- unity, self-determination, col-lective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith--is discussed. Kwanzaa is also represented by seven symbols--crops, a mat, a candleholder, the seven candles, ears of corn, gifts, and the Kikome Chad Umoja (The Unity Cup).

All About The Zoo!
A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!
A zoo is a place where animals are held captive for the purpose of exhibition, educa-tion, and preservation. The word zoo comes from the term “zoological garden.” The earliest known zoos were in ancient China. Other ancient societies also had zoos; these zoos were looked at as status symbols among rulers. Today, the zoo’s purpose is to show people a wide variety of animals that one would normally not be able to visit in their natural habitats. Once looked upon as being cruel, zoos now place the animals’ needs and welfare above all else. Instead of cages and fences, animals have habitats that are created to be as much like their natural environment as possible. Many zoos have worked to help endangered species to reproduce, thus reviving the species. Ani-mal healthcare is also a function of the modern zoos, further benefiting the animals. There are many large and prominent zoos located around the world. The San Diego Zoo is one of the largest and most well-known of United States zoos. Other important zoos are found in Calgary, Canada and Berlin, Germany; many natural zoos are found in South Africa.

Georgia Bonesteel to be featured at 2011 Landrum Quilt Showby Susie Pitalo, Landrum Quilters member
Georgia has been on our minds a lot lately, and for good reason. Georgia Bonesteel is coming to Landrum as a special feature of the 2011 Landrum Quilt Show to be held on June 9, 10 and 11 at O.P Earle El-ementary School.
Internationally-known au-thor and quilting teacher Geor-gia Bonesteel is the founder of the Landrum Quilters, as well as founding president of the Western North Carolina Quilt Guild and one-time president of the International Quilting Association. In 2003, she was inducted into the Quilters’ Hall of Fame.
Bonesteel’s life has been much like a quilt, perhaps “Trip Around the World,” as she has crossed many borders and lived a kaleidoscope of adventures as colorful as the ones depicted on her quilts.
Born in Sioux City, Iowa, this Northwestern Univer-sity graduate has lived in New Orleans and Hendersonville, N.C., and has trekked all over the world as hostess and coor-dinator of quilting tours and cruises.
As a resident of New Or-leans, Bonesteel used her home-economics and mer-chandising degree to teach in the television series, “Sewing Is Fun,” sponsored by Sears, Roebuck and Company. While there she also began her own company, “Cajun Quilting,” in which she specialized in evening bags made of men’s neckties and sold them in the French Quarter.
After moving to Hender-sonville, N.C., in 1972, she began teaching quilting at the old Flat Rock Center. Her next project involved a move to UNC-TV, where she taught a six-part quilting series in 1980, which quickly swelled to a 13-part series in 1981 because of positive viewer response. The series, “Lapquilting with Geor-gia Bonesteel,” has become her trademark, along with six quilting books.
In 2005, Bonesteel assisted her filmmaker son, Paul Bon-esteel, in producing the docu-mentary “The Great American Quilting Revival,” which fea-tures many renowned quilters, historians and collectors.

rucr-039889
All this is very well, but what of the person herself? Bonesteel would probably say, “Shhhh,” to all this lauding with a stern finger to her lips.
A quiet, unassuming lady, she shows up at the Landrum Quilters’ meetings now and then, usually taking a back seat in the proceedings and blend-ing into the sea of faces like a sewing novice. From her casual outerwear to her comfy sandals, she’s your typical neighbor and fellow-Carolinian.
Her quilting videos reveal her as a soft-spoken teacher whose students are not afraid to whine. If you visit her web-site, you are likely to see some of her pet chickens, two being Miss Priss and Sister Priss, good-looking Buff Orpingtons who dwell in a state-of-the-art chicken coop that Foghorn
Leghorn would envy.Now on to more personal
stuff, the real story: this is my Georgia, and I speak for many others. She was my mentor, my fairy godmother as I started my quilting journey.
As a beginning quilter back in Mississippi, I was given three of her books on lap quilting. I wore those books out, admiring their author and envisioning her as some far-away goddess whom I had no hope of ever meeting.There was a colored picture of Georgia with one of her splendid quilts beside an antique car, a cotton-boll quilt draped over a John Deere cot-ton picker, a youthful Georgia instructing young quilters on a special lap technique.
I was mesmerized, as in “These ain’t your grandma’s faded quilts, honey;” these quilts were “purty, purty,” and I would do whatever it took to duplicate them. I, and
many others, have followed this trailblazer quilter who has revolutionized quilting and made it a lovely art.
Then along came Hurricane Katrina and took my Georgia books. I finally replaced them from McKay’s Books in Knox-ville after I had moved to North Carolina. One of the pictures showed Georgia with a group of women called the Landrum Quilters. Could this be the Lan-drum near Tryon, N.C.? Yes.
Happily I checked the bio-graphical information in the back and noted for the first time that Georgia lived in Flat Rock, N.C., and that she had founded the Landrum Quilters. I was jubilant. I quickly joined this quilting group and over the past few years, I have actually seen her face to face and hugged her. Ain’t God good?
She will be at the Landrum Quilt Show all three days. You will see how readily she smiles,
as though she does not know she’s famous.
At my last sight of her, at a Landrum Quilters’ meeting at which she presided, she brought her teenaged grand-daughter along. As her grand-mother displayed her plethora of quilts to the group, the granddaughter sat quietly knit-ting, a skill passed on via Geor-gia. She’s a heroine to us but she refuses to get on a pedestal. She remains a family-oriented, down-to-earth person.
So now we have it: sewing goddess turned human be-ing, professional “somebody” turned Carolinian homebody.
When you meet her at the quilt show, don’t look for the trappings of a celebrity; look for a nice-looking, casually dressed lady up to her elbows in quilts and good will. Look for hands that create and a smile that welcomes. “Jaw-Ja” will be on your mind, too.

Ken’s Fine Meats brings butcher craft to Landrum

Ken Brackett knows his way around a butcher shop.
Starting out humbly as a bag boy in his teens, Brackett’s spent the last 30 years, work-ing his way around the grocery industry. Now he’s bringing that expertise to Landrum with the opening of Ken’s Fine Meats and Seafood.
“When I was younger I loved to watch the butchers with their knives and how precisely they would cut the meat,” Brackett said. “It just appealed to me as a true craft and I loved the ability to actually talk to the customers.”
In 2009, Brackett and his wife, Chris, moved from Hen-dersonville to Columbus in 2009, while Brackett continued work-ing for Harris Teeter. Earlier this spring Brackett said the time finally felt right to open his own business.
That’s when the couple found an empty building in downtown Landrum.
“It’s a cozy, down-home feel-ing and that’s what I wanted for the shop,” he said.
“We wanted it to be some-thing that would match what an old-timey butcher shop used to be,” Chris chimed in. “People have already come in and said, ‘I haven’t seen this since I was a kid.’”
It didn’t take Brackett long to pull things together. He already knew contacts in the distribution side of things and could figure out relatively quickly where to purchase equipment.
By mid-May Brackett and Chris, had the store repainted, stocked and opened for business.
Ken’s offers top choice, certi-fied Angus beef, chicken, veal, lamb and seafood. The store also brings a variety of more rare meats to the table. Customers can purchase duck, rabbit, bison, kangaroo and elk.
“We want to specialize in the unique – things you can’t get in just any grocery store,” Brackett said.
When it comes to seafood, Brackett aims to bring in the freshest. Beginning in June, the store will carry shrimp delivered straight from the Carolina coast.
Meanwhile the seafood cooler is currently packed with smoked fish, salmon jerky and ba-con and dressed flounder.
If straight protein isn’t enough to satisfy your salivary glands, the store also offers a variety of other gourmet items such as white truffle oil, bagels overnighted from New York and fresh mozzarella.
Oh, and don’t forget bread and desserts. Ken’s abounds with marble rye boule and rosemary loaf, chocolate croissants and
Chris Brackett points out the store’s bagels shipped overnight from New York. These are just one example of the variety of specialty items Ken’s carries in addition to meats. (photo by Samantha Hurst)
home-baked pies. While you’re waiting for
y o u r s p e -cialty cut of meat, you can also browse the nooks of the store for
whimsical antiques. Chris said she’s ecstatic to
see her husband come home cheerful after a grueling 12-hour day at work.
“Even when we’re tired at the end of the day, he still comes home with a smile on his face because he’s gotten to do what he loves,” she said.

Upstairs Artspace welcomes ‘Flood and The Pump’ showThe Upstairs Artspace hosts
a major exhibit from the Flood Gallery Fine Art Center, a “sis-ter” arts organization in Ashe-ville that has two galleries - the Flood and the Pump. “Flood and The Pump: Galleries With Attitude” introduces 15 artists selected by the center’s direc-tor, Jolene Mechanic. The show opens Friday, June 3 with a pub-lic reception on Saturday, June 4 from 5 - 8 p.m. (in conjunction with the Tryon Gallery Trot).
The artists are Bridget Conn, Madison J. Cripps, Hannah Dan-sie, Severn Eaton, Larkin Ford, Allen Leper Hampton, Heinz Kossler, Brian Mashburn, Nicole McConville, Sean Pace, all of Asheville, N.C.; Cory Bradley of New York City; Jim Buonaccorsi and LeeAnn Mitchell of Athens, Ga.; and Patrick Glover of Char-lotte, N.C. With the exception of Conn, all are new to the Upstairs.
Conn, McConville and Terrezza work in mixed me-dia; Dansie, Eaton, Hampton, Mashburn, Bradley and Glover are painters; Cripps makes pup-pets; Ford draws with charcoal and Buonaccorsi, Mitchell, Kossler and Pace are sculptors.

Facing our own dark forest
Grassroots
by Chris Jakubowicz
The lonely and defeated knight rode tirelessly through utter dark-ness to reach his destination. Once a proud and successful knight for the king, he had lost everything. Stripped of his honor, yet keeping his loyalty that he avowed to the crown at the begin-ning, he still trotted on his trusty warhorse in defeat. He rode toward the destination he had been avoiding, yet somehow he knew it was im-minent.
Finally, af-ter a full nights ride, the sun started to rise and his vision became a little more clear. His focus became fixated upon the line of trees before him. The Forest of the Shadows of Death loomed in the distance. Few have entered into them, and even fewer have come out. Til now, every tale that was told about this forest had the same outcome for those that made the unknown voyage. They emerged as better men for going through the Shadows of Death. Reappearing on the other side of the forest meant a re-birth for all that conquered the journey. Everything was returned to them 10 fold. All they must do in order to attain this victory is hold the willingness in their hearts to enter and face what was beyond the dark line of trees.
So goes the story of so many of us facing our dark forests. The toughest part is to stand in the entry of the forest line and decide
whether to enter into the journey or stay put. Success or failure are on both sides of the forest. We also know this common life battle to be called “facing our giants.”
(Or facing our El Guapo’s – if there's any Three Amigos fans out there).
Kids seem to face these bat-tles on a regular basis; it hap-
pens to be part of growing up. I witness my son facing new adventures of his own regu-larly.
He’s at the point in his little life (9 years old) that growing pains are starting to show. Though on a much smaller scale compared to the hurdles us adults must leap over, they still must be faced just the same in order for growth and maturity to happen.
Whether it’s meeting new kids and making new friends, playing a piano recital for the first time in front of strangers or going kayaking in the Pacolet River without any prior experience, life is a constant classroom for him. He learns about himself in who he is and who he wants to be as well as who others are and how to get along with them.
He’s a young and brilliant mind that accepts all of this as life’s schoolroom as he willingly treks through the woods to find himself on the other side. These little “chitlins” can certainly be an inspiration if you let them.
Unfortunately many of us (including Mr. macho here) loose sight of the journey as we grow up. The fact that there is no light at the end of the tunnel if we’re not willing to go through it is now a perceived reality. I cannot follow Al Bundy’s lead and sit in front of a TV while life passes by, hoping it will work out.
We have been taught faith without works is dead. Some-times in order to get to where we want to go, we have to start with the first blind step forward. No-where else is this demonstrated better than in the faith of a child.
The knight in the story I began to tell may not really exist, but it does live in the hearts of every-one of us.
That’s why fairy tales such as this grab our attention and pull at our emotional heartstrings. It brings forth a truth that we long to grab ahold of; the truth that we cannot remain where we’re at sometimes. The darkness of the forest calls us for a reason, not to hurt us, but to benefit us and make us better off in the end.
Whether it's an individual, the nation as a whole, or any number of groups of people, there must first be the confrontation of the shadow of death, before there is the realization of the light of day.
