Downtown speeding a problem in Tryonby Leah Justice

Speeding enforcement in downtown Tryon could be increased after concerns were raised at a council meeting last week.

Tryon Town Council met Nov. 20 and heard from com-missioner George Baker that he has concerns about drivers speeding downtown.

“I continue to have concerns about people zipping down-town,” Baker said. “We’ve got to do something about this. I have nightmares about some-body getting whacked.”

Tryon Town Manager Caitlin Martin said she and police chief Jeff Arrowood have discussed signs that go in crosswalks stating drivers should stop for


MRPO and UDO decisions await new boardby Leah Justice

It will be up to the new major-ity of the Polk County Board of Commissioners to make the final decisions on the county’s land use regulations.

Commissioners reviewed latest recommendations on a proposed unified development ordinance (UDO) and a newly drafted pro-posed steep slope ordinance that

the planning board has recom-mended replace the current moun-tainside and ridgeline protection ordinance (MRPO) during a meet-ing on Nov. 19.

Commissioners decided to schedule the next UDO workshop for a meeting in January, but will formerly set a public hearing for the MRPO on Dec. 3 after the new board approves the 2013 meeting

schedule.Newly elected board members

will also be sworn into office on Dec. 3 with a political switch of the majority. Republicans swept the commissioner election with Tom Pack being re-elected along with new commissioners Michael Gage, who was high vote getter

Tryon Fine Arts Center starts family series with a ‘Dickens Of A Show’Charles Dickens will appear

on the Main Stage at Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC) played by actor David zum Brunnen in the touring production of “The Night Before Christmas Carol” on Sun-day, Dec. 16 at 3 p.m.

History, humor and the holi-day come to life as zum Brunnen portrays Charles Dickens and 17 other familiar characters, giving personal, social and historical context to the ghostly classic, A Christmas Carol.

This production, described as “…a theatrical daring-do” by the Cape May NJ Star, has toured throughout the United States and is broadcast annually on national public television. The Star goes on to say, “…David zum Brunnen…is lively, physi-cal and energetic…I can think of no better way to get into the holiday spirit.”

This acclaimed one-man show has provided family entertain-ment for thousands. It is histori-

cally accurate, humorous and full of happy holiday spirit. The play-wright, Dr. Eliot Engel currently of Raleigh, is an internationally known Dickens scholar, recently inducted into the Royal Society of Arts in England. Besides teaching at the University of North Carolina, N.C. State and Duke, he has written 10 books, published articles in numerous national magazines, and has given literary and historical pro-grams throughout the world for elementary, middle, high school and adult audiences.

This is the first of two special events planned for families by Tryon Fine Arts Center’s Arts in Education. Performer Billy Jonas will perform on Mother’s Day, May 13, 2013. Ticket prices for these events are set at just a few dollars to encourage fami-lies to participate in live theater together. David zum Brunnen will play Charles Dickins in the touring production

of “The Night Before Christmas Carol” on Sunday, Dec. 16 at 3 p.m. at TFAC. (photo submitted) (Continued on page 4)

and Keith Holbert.A new chair will also be se-

lected on the new board, which will now consist of four republicans and one democrat. The current board has three democrats and two republicans. Current chair Ray Gasperson will be the sole democrat following the defeat of vice-chair Renée McDermott on Nov. 6 and democrat Cindy Walker choosing not to run for re-election this year. Current republican com-missioner Ted Owens and Gasper-son were not up for re-election this year.

The UDO has undergone dra-matic revisions to more closely reflect the coun-ty’s current ordi-nances following a public hearing in September that drew heavy opposition to the document.

“I think with the changes that were directed by the board at the Oct. 1 workshop, the docu-ment went back primarily to what the current ordinances are,” said county attorney Mike Egan during the Nov. 19 meeting.

The proposed UDO was a ma-jor factor during the election with the public hearing drawing hun-dreds against the new document that at the time was 400 pages. The proposed document is now closer to 300 pages after commissioners decided to take out controversial sections of the document and make the document more closely mirror current regulations.

Commissioners also recently

recommended that the planning board rescind the current MRPO, which restricts development at elevations of 1,650 feet and high-er. Many residents in the Sa-luda Township have contested the MRPO, due to the township being entirely above 1,650 feet. No com-mercial development is currently allowed in the Saluda Township (outside city limits) due to MRPO restrictions.

But the Polk County Planning Board earlier this month unani-mously recommended a replace-ment for MRPO, saying the board didn’t want to leave Polk’s moun-

tains unprotected entirely.

“We did feel it is really im-portant to keep an ordinance of some kind on the books,” said plan-ning board chair Lisa Krolak.

The planning board is recom-mending a steep

slope ordinance, which can either be a standalone ordinance or placed in the UDO, the proposed compila-tion of all county ordinances into one document. Major changes to the steep slope ordinance, which was formerly proposed as Article 24 in the UDO are to increase the slope threshold for regulations to 30 percent slope as opposed to the former proposal of 25 percent slope and to no longer require a geotechnical analysis of the prop-erty in order to build on higher slopes.

The commissioner meeting on Dec. 3 will begin at 7 p.m. in the upstairs meeting room of the Womack building in Columbus.

pedestrians, which is state law.Baker said he doesn’t have

a p r o b l e m with installing signs but he’d also like to see a few tickets going out.

“No warn-ings,” Baker said.

T r y o n Mayor A lan Peoples said another pos-sibility is to have more dis-tinctively marked crosswalks like Landrum and Henderson-ville. Landrum recently marked downtown crosswalks with stamped concrete that looks like brick.

“You can see from a distance

that it’s a crosswalk,” Peoples said.

Commissioner Doug Arbo-gast said he’d very much like to see the signs at the crosswalks.

“If some-one gets hit in one of those c r o s s w a l k s it’s going to look cheap to have one of those signs,” Baker added.

The speed limit in down-town Tryon is 20 mph and

the issue of speeding downtown has come up in council meet-ings throughout the years. The N.C. Department of Transporta-tion installed crosswalk signs a couple of years ago, but they haven’t seemed to deter speed-ing through town.

Strollers at the Tryon Christ-mas Stroll will have the chance to learn creative techniques to enhance photographs and turn them into one of a kind holiday cards from Tryon artist Kim Attwooll from A Small Work of Art.

Visit Attwooll at the Shops of Tryon, 112 N. Trade Street, during the stroll on Friday, Dec. 7 from 5 – 8 p.m.

Bring photos or photocopies of family, friends, pets or your home and Attwooll will create an embellished card for you. Watch how she does this using your photo and learn about the materials she uses. The focal image should be 3” x 5” for it to fit on the finished card. Once you see the process, you’ll be hooked and have fun creating these in the future. This is a free demonstration and there is a small charge if you want a finished photo card.

You can view her videos demonstrating some of her

techniques on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/user/Kims-cards.

Later they learned that the American Hospital Associa-tion’s official uniform for nurs-es’ aides was a cherry red. This led to the peach smocks you see now and the name Cherry Smocks.

Flu activity in North Carolina is higher than normal for this time of year, prompting state health officials to remind North Carolinians that now is the best time to get vaccinated for flu.

“Holiday travel and visits with family may provide more opportunities for cold and flu germs to spread,” state health director Laura Gerald said. “Getting a flu vaccination now will reduce the chances that you will get seasonal flu and lessen the chance that you will spread it to friends and family.”

According to information collected by the N.C. Depart-ment of Health and Human Services’ Division of Public Health, health care provid-ers across the state, including college student health centers, already are seeing an increase in flu-like illness.

“Last year, we had a mild flu season, but that is not nec-essarily an indicator of what we can expect this year,” said Dr. Gerald. “Our state labora-tory of public health handles flu tests for providers across the state and since the beginning of November, we have seen an increase in positive test results.”

Most influenza infections can be prevented by the simple act of getting the flu vaccine. Flu vaccine is recommended for anyone over 6 months old. It is particularly important for people at high risk of compli-cations, including pregnant women, people with chronic diseases, very young children and the elderly.

This year, flu vaccine is available in several forms, in-cluding:

• nasal spray for healthy, non-pregnant people age 2 to 49 years;

• a regular flu shot for people ages 6 months and older;

• an intradermal flu shot which uses a needle 90 percent smaller than the regular flu shot and is approved for people 18 to 64 years of age; and

• a high-dose flu shot for

people 65 and older. Flu vaccine is widely avail-

able through doctors’ offices and health departments and is also available at many pharmacies, work places and other locations. Flu season in North Carolina normally peaks in January or

February. Flu vaccines are of-fered at your local health de-partments Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

In addition to vaccination, you can prevent the spread of flu and other illness by washing your hands frequently, stay-

ing home from work or school while you are sick, and covering coughs and sneezes.

More information about flu activity and flu vaccines as well as a convenient flu vaccine finder can be found at flu.nc.gov.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongue’s roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascar’s primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemur’s natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Thanksgiving is a special day, but thanksgiving is for every day. As the Apostle Paul once wrote: “… giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything…” (Ephe-sians 5:20)

One of my favorite Peanuts comic strips describes an en-counter between Lucy and her brother Linus a few days before Thanksgiving. Lucy was feeling sorry for herself, lamenting: “My life is a drag. I’m com-pletely fed up. I’ve never felt so low in my life.”

Her little brother Linus tried to console her, telling her: “Lucy, when you’re in a mood like this, you should try to think of things you have to be thank-ful for. You should count your blessings.”

With her typical cynicism Lucy replied: “Ha! That’s a good one! I could count my blessings on one finger! I’ve never had anything, and I never

will have anything. I don’t get half the breaks that other people do. Nothing ever goes right for me! And you talk about count-ing blessings! You talk about being thankful! What do I have to be thankful for?”

Quietly Linus replied: “Well, for one thing, you have a little brother who loves you.”

With that, Lucy ran over and hugged her little brother crying tears of joy. And as Linus was enjoying her unexpected affec-tion, he said: “Every now and then, I say the right thing.”

When people care about each other, life is different – whatev-er the circumstances. And when we take the time to tell each other that we care, as Linus did in this cartoon, it always makes a difference.

God cares for us even in the difficult times. And when we can give thanks, life is different, even when it’s hard. We worship a God who loves us, even in our

self-centeredness and imperfec-tion. John Newton was right. Grace is “amazing.”

Thanksgiving is special, but thanksgiving should be every day.

And the holiday season is an especially good time to remember all those who have been instruments of God’s love in our lives.

Thanksgiving is not just one dayWorldwide people are find-

ing that prayer in Christian Science brings effective heal-ing to their lives. International speaker Christine Driessen said, “There are divine laws which govern and maintain us — the science of perfect God, perfect man.

Spiritual healing through this scientific prayer is reliable, immediate and accessible to people anywhere in the world. Christ Jesus demonstrated this healing power and taught us to do the same.”

Driessen, a teacher and prac-titioner of Christian Science healing, will present a lecture entitled, “Healing with Scientif-ic Certainty through the Christ”

on Sunday, Dec. 9 from 2-4 p.m. at the Christian Science Church, 93 New Market Road, Tryon.

Driessen’s ideas are based on the original source book on Christian healing, the Bible, along with the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. At this lecture, explore how mental and physical wholeness are natural to every single one of us as children of God. Dis-cover how fear, ignorance and sin undermine health, and how an understanding of God as infi-nite good and ever-present love brings healing. Find out how this scientific system of prayer-based healing, called Christian Science, can be used by any-

one to bring consis tent a n d r e l i -able health t o t h e i r l i v e s a n d the lives of others.

Driessen has expe -rienced the effectiveness of prayer since she was a child. Recognizing the potential of Christian Science healing to relieve suffering worldwide, she became a full-time practitioner and teacher of this science.

Driessen is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, lecturing interna-tionally, with special focus on medical and interfaith talks.” She travels from Jackson, Wyo. and New York City.

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, “I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge....” The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Thanksgiving is a special day, but thanksgiving is for every day. As the Apostle Paul once wrote: “… giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything…” (Ephe-sians 5:20)

One of my favorite Peanuts comic strips describes an en-counter between Lucy and her brother Linus a few days before Thanksgiving. Lucy was feeling sorry for herself, lamenting: “My life is a drag. I’m com-pletely fed up. I’ve never felt so low in my life.”

Her little brother Linus tried to console her, telling her: “Lucy, when you’re in a mood like this, you should try to think of things you have to be thank-ful for. You should count your blessings.”

With her typical cynicism Lucy replied: “Ha! That’s a good one! I could count my blessings on one finger! I’ve never had anything, and I never

will have anything. I don’t get half the breaks that other people do. Nothing ever goes right for me! And you talk about count-ing blessings! You talk about being thankful! What do I have to be thankful for?”

Quietly Linus replied: “Well, for one thing, you have a little brother who loves you.”

With that, Lucy ran over and hugged her little brother crying tears of joy. And as Linus was enjoying her unexpected affec-tion, he said: “Every now and then, I say the right thing.”

When people care about each other, life is different – whatev-er the circumstances. And when we take the time to tell each other that we care, as Linus did in this cartoon, it always makes a difference.

God cares for us even in the difficult times. And when we can give thanks, life is different, even when it’s hard. We worship a God who loves us, even in our

self-centeredness and imperfec-tion. John Newton was right. Grace is “amazing.”

Thanksgiving is special, but thanksgiving should be every day.

And the holiday season is an especially good time to remember all those who have been instruments of God’s love in our lives.

Thanksgiving is not just one dayWorldwide people are find-

ing that prayer in Christian Science brings effective heal-ing to their lives. International speaker Christine Driessen said, “There are divine laws which govern and maintain us — the science of perfect God, perfect man.

Spiritual healing through this scientific prayer is reliable, immediate and accessible to people anywhere in the world. Christ Jesus demonstrated this healing power and taught us to do the same.”

Driessen, a teacher and prac-titioner of Christian Science healing, will present a lecture entitled, “Healing with Scientif-ic Certainty through the Christ”

on Sunday, Dec. 9 from 2-4 p.m. at the Christian Science Church, 93 New Market Road, Tryon.

Driessen’s ideas are based on the original source book on Christian healing, the Bible, along with the book Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. At this lecture, explore how mental and physical wholeness are natural to every single one of us as children of God. Dis-cover how fear, ignorance and sin undermine health, and how an understanding of God as infi-nite good and ever-present love brings healing. Find out how this scientific system of prayer-based healing, called Christian Science, can be used by any-

one to bring consis tent a n d r e l i -able health t o t h e i r l i v e s a n d the lives of others.

Driessen has expe -rienced the effectiveness of prayer since she was a child. Recognizing the potential of Christian Science healing to relieve suffering worldwide, she became a full-time practitioner and teacher of this science.

Driessen is a member of the Christian Science Board of Lectureship, lecturing interna-tionally, with special focus on medical and interfaith talks.” She travels from Jackson, Wyo. and New York City.

Red Fox Country Club was host to Steps to HOPE’s ninth annual golf tournament on Nov. 2 this year –arguably the most beautiful autumn day ever. Steps to HOPE’s tournament, which was attended by many new teams this year and almost 100 golfers, is celebrated as the charity event of the season.

A new Toyota Camry was offered as a hole-in-one prize on Red Fox Hole No. 10 again this year. While no one drove the Camry home after the tournament, a few players – one of whom was Steps’ board of directors president Paul Sutherland – came very close, landing their golf balls within inches of the hole.

Congratulations to Robert Cochran, Keith Cochran Jr., and Justice and Bob Bailey who were overall winners of the Steps to HOPE Golf Tournament this year. Jerry Johnson, F.K. McFarland, Billy McFarland and Glenn Han-

ford put together the “B Flight” winning team. Trophies and prizes were awarded to all winning golf-ers – including “closest to the pin” and “longest drive” winners.

Steps to HOPE is greatly ap-preciative of the overwhelming support shown by golfers, indi-viduals and area businesses who not only offered financial support but made countless donations in the form of snacks and drinks, gifts for door prizes, breakfast biscuits – and, of course, time – to help ensure the success of this annual charity event.

Gold sponsors included Dave Hunt of Rutherford Property Man-agement/McDonalds and Jerry Johnson of Tryon Federal Bank. John Boyle of Raymond James, George Todd of Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, and Tryon Riding and Hunt Club offered tournament sponsorships.

Perhaps no one “born and raised” in Glassy Mountain town-ship can equal the definitive Everyman persona of James Alexander Howard.

Born at the foot of Glassy Mountain on Oct. 18, 1894, he was the oldest son of James Holland and Margaret Elizabeth Moon Howard, and was the great-great grandson of Capt. Thomas Howard, who led young South and North Carolina militiamen against renegade Cherokees and Tories in the 1776 Battle of Round Mountain.

The Howards originated in Cumberland County, England, on the border with Scotland and westerly across the Irish Sea from Northern Ireland, in the 12th cen-tury. They began coming to the new American colonies, particu-larly Virginia, in the 17th century. Many migrated south to the North and South Carolina colonies.

These sturdy Anglo-Saxons brought with them the convic-tion that they had a God-given, inalienable right to make their own “water of life” (whiskey) for medicinal purposes, for social interac-tion and for economic sur-vival.

The New World offered a new grain, maize, grown by native Indians, for pro-ducing a different “water of life.” The Scots-Irish and borderland England settlers, including the Howards, renamed the native grain corn.

When they began to make corn whiskey by the light of the moon so that smoke rising from their distilleries could not be eas-ily seen and located, the term, moonshine, was given to it.

Young James Alexander How-ard was born into this Appalachian corn whiskey-making way of life, in which his father and brothers were accomplished moonshiners. His first paying job, at age 17, was

hauling moonshine in a wagon down Glassy Mountain.

Little did he know that his fu-ture would be distinctly different. He not only would have a call to ministry, but his father would later become an unpaid Constable and be killed in a distillery raid near Hogback Mountain.

Young James began driving a buggy for Dr. John A. Lindsey on house calls to ailing patients. He

began to show a great interest in getting an education. He attended North G r e e n v i l l e Baptist Acad-emy (forerun-ner of North

Greenville University) and was outstanding in academics and football at the school.

Answering a distinct call to ministry, he graduated from Fruit-land Bible Institute, Furman University and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. He pastured churches in Texas and Oklahoma as well as in South Carolina.

His easy-going manner en-deared him to everyone, and he became affectionately known as “Preacher Jim.”

In 1934, at age 40, he married Ruth Elmore Hill, the daughter of

‘Preacher Jim’ Howard was a beloved man of God and the Dark Corner

the Reverend Henry Elmore and Eliza Lucinda Kingsmore Hill. They served the Lord together until his death on Jan. 9, 1988.

He became Superintendent of Evangelism for the South Caro-lina Baptist Convention in 1940, a position he held until his retire-ment in 1961. Furman University gave him an Honorary Doctorate degree on April 20, 1951. He served as trustee for Limestone

College and Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Following his retirement, he did pastoral supply, evangelistic outreach, speaking engagements and spent a great deal of time in research of his native Dark Cor-ner. He became the person with the greatest knowledge of the unique region.

In 1978, a number of other researchers and area residents en-couraged him to write a history of the Dark Corner from his wealth of knowledge on the subject. He

began a two-year compilation of all aspects of living there.

He published his Dark Corner Heritage in 1980. I was honored to assist him with editing of the manuscript and contributing both drawings and photographs to the book.

I was even more deeply hon-ored when he ended the volume by passing the mantle of Dark Corner historian to me.

It is a trust to which I shall ever be faithful.

Dec. 7 marks not just the 2012 Tryon Christmas Stroll, but also the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, marking the United States’ entrance into World War II. To mark the occasion, Millard & Company will host a showing of the film classic Tora! Tora! Tora!, followed by a light catered dinner.

The event will take place in the Depot Room at the Tryon Depot beginning at 3 p.m.

The public is invited; there is no charge, although space is limited. Host Andy Millard especially would like to see a large contingent of WWII veterans.

“We’re losing more of these veterans every day,” said Mil-lard. “We should honor them while we still can.”

Transportation will be pro-vided for those who request it. Millard & Company has rented a small bus for the event, and local veteran Roger Newman will serve as host on the bus.

The phrase “Tora! Tora! Tora!” was the code used by Japanese pilots to let their

superiors know that the attack had achieved total surprise, meeting with no resistance. The Oscar winning film of the same name tells the story from both the American and Japanese perspectives.

Meticulously researched and painstakingly authentic, the reenactment of the “the date which will live in infamy,” as well as the political and military intrigue that preceded it is riveting. This definitive war docudrama stars Jason Ro-bards, Martin Balsam and E.G. Marshall.

The film starts on Friday,

Dec. 7 at 3 p.m. and will end around 5:15 p.m.

Immediately following the movie, Pat Strother will treat guests to a light dinner.

Dessert will not be served so that guests can enjoy the many treats available from merchants participating in the stroll.

There is room for about 65 attendees.

Everyone is welcome, but Millard requests that interested persons reserve their spot by calling 828-859-7001 (exten-sion 2).
