Abril responds to recent arrestby Leah Justice

Former Polk County Sheriff Chris Abril is speaking out about felony charges he faces after being accused recently of stealing a credit card.

Abril, who does not deny using the card, said it was a debit card that be-longs to his former sister-in-law. Abril said he has power of attorney for her and has the right to make purchases.

Abril, 50, of 76 Simms Street in Columbus, was arrested on Saturday, May 4 by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and charged with obtaining property by false pretenses, posses-sion of stolen goods, identity theft and unlawfully obtaining a credit card, according to arrest records.

glass of wine with the artists and art enthusiasts.

At the heart of Art in Bloom is the garden tour on Saturday from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. The five gardens were selected because of their v a r i e t y a n d beauty. Master gardeners will be available to answer ques-tions, point out items of interest and share their knowledge of plants in this area.

“To immortalize these beauti-ful gardens, some of our area’s most accomplished artists will be painting them during the day,” said Jean Pettigrew, chair of the Sunday celebration. Refresh-ments for all visitors will be served at no additional cost in one of the gardens.

There is no parking at the garden sites. Free remote park-ing with frequent shuttle service utilizing six user-friendly buses will be provided at the Family Dollar shopping center at 1005 Hwy. 176 S. (the corner of Lake-shore Drive) between Landrum and Tryon. The first bus will

leave at 9 a.m. and the last bus will bring visi-tors back to the parking lot at 5 p.m. A book-let describing e a c h o f t h e gardens on the tour serves as the tour ticket.

“We encourage people to start the tour by 2:30 to allow plenty of time to really experience the magnificent gardens,” said Art in Bloom chairperson Judy Warden.

Henderson County charged him with two additional felo-nies related to the use of the card this week. He is scheduled to appear in Henderson County court today, May 11, on those felony charges, and is sched-uled to appear in Polk County court again on June 6.

Abril said the whole thing is a misunder-standing.

“ T h i s i s not fair what I ’ m g o i n g t h r o u g h , ” A b r i l s a i d . “I’ve always been a person who tries to help people.”

Around February of this year, according to Abril, his former sister-in-law told him she was having problems and he took care of her, giving her money and providing her food. He was married for 27 years before getting a divorce and said his former sister-in-law has always been like his sister. He said he gave her money and on March 21, she signed her house over to him as well as gave him power of attorney for financial and medical decisions. Abril said she asked him to take the deed of her house and to have power of attorney, and he im-mediately signed the deed of the house over to one of his sons.

“I have her debit card and her pin number because she gave it to me,” he said.

Abril said he sent his former sister-in-law money on a few occasions and after returning from a visit to Florida looked for her to make sure she was all right and to ask if she could pay some of the money she owed him.

“I wanted to get my money and make sure she was okay,” Abril said.

The arrest warrant says Abril went into her house and stole the card, but Abril said he did not steal the card. Abril said news reports make it sound as though he is a thief and all he has tried to do is take care of his former sister-in-law.

“Do you think I would use a stolen debit card knowing that cameras were everywhere?” Abril asked.

Abril said he used the card to purchase gas for his truck and lumber at Lowe’s.

Abril said he is working for the land-lo rd o f t he Copper Mill

restaurant in Columbus. He said he had just finished doing some staining work and couldn’t believe it when three sheriff cars pulled up with blue lights. He claims he was handcuffed without officers telling him the charges he was facing.

He was given a $32,000 bond and Abril said friends pulled money together and helped him post enough to get out of jail.

Abril said he’s fighting the charges and has hired Lee At-kins as his attorney.

Abril said he just can’t stand for his kids to go through the publicity of this again.

“As a father I’ve always been responsible,” Abril said. “I can’t stand all this pain for them.”

This is not Abril’s first arrest over the last few years. He re-signed as Polk County sheriff in November 2008, the day before he pled guilty to two counts of solicitation to take indecent lib-erties with a minor for incidents that occurred in 1988 and 1999.

While on probation, Abril was convicted of driving while impaired and a probation viola-tion.

No tax increase in Polk’s recommended 2012-13 budgetEmployees could get 2.5-percent salary increaseby Leah Justice

Polk County Manager Ryan Whitson presented to commis-sioners on Monday, May 7 his budget proposal for fiscal year 2012-13, which includes no tax increase and is slightly less than this year’s budget.

T h e p r o -p o s e d b u d -g e t t o t a l s $24,986,571, which includes the gene ra l fund, capital improvements, special reve-nue funds and the enterprise fund for sol-id waste and water depart-ments.

After hearing that the pro-posed general fund budget for fiscal year 2012-2013 reflects an 11.22-percent decrease from the current 2011-2012 amended general fund budget, commis-sioner Tom Pack said he wanted to compare “apples to apples” and asked what the approved budget was for 2011-2012.

The proposed general fund budget for fiscal year 2013 is $20,710,248, which is 0.42 per-cent less than the approved gen-eral fund budget for fiscal year 2012, which was $20,797,175.

The proposed budget for 2012-2013 keeps the same property tax rate of 52 cents per $100 of valuation and includes a 2.5-percent salary increase for all employees, which is the first salary increase in three and a half years. The salary increase will be effective on July 1 if the recommended budget is approved.

The budget also includes an additional $150,000 to the

school system, $100,000 for county-wide water and water line extensions, $90,000 in fuel contingency and $200,000 for future Lake Adger dam repairs. Polk County began saving money a few years ago in an-ticipation of future dam repairs and will have $600,000 saved at the end of next fiscal year.

“I expressed at the time of purchase (of Lake Adger) that this would need to be set

aside annually as long as the county owns the dam and I am still of that mindset,” Whitson told commission-ers.

Other ex-penditures in the manager’s recommenda-tion include

the purchase of a tractor for maintenance at the recreation park, a van for the recreation department and a backhoe for the solid waste department. Whitson said those purchases will be paid in full out of the budget instead of the county taking on expensive leases.

The budget also eliminates two positions in the department of social services (DSS). The position Lou Parton held before she became DSS director will not be filled and another open position will also not be filled. Whitson denied all requests for new positions except for agreeing to put $30,000 toward a new sheriff’s office inves-tigator. The sheriff’s office originally requested three new positions.

Whitson also reviewed the county’s total real property valuation of $2,584,453,981, which is a 0.1 percent decrease of $2,777,558. The collection

“I expressed at the time of purchase (of Lake Adger) that this would need to be set aside annually as long as the county owns the dam and I am still of that mindset.”

rate according to the 2011 au-dit was 97.16 percent, which is up from 96.78 percent the previous year, Whitson said. Based on the collection rate, Polk County should bring in $13,057,489 in real property revenue.

Motor vehicle valuation is also down to $130,681,246 from the previous year at $138,628,377. The collection rate for motor vehicles is down from the previous year from 89.29 percent to 88.29 percent. Polk County expects to collect $599,966 in revenue from mo-tor vehicle tax.

Overall, with prior year tax collections included, the county is projected to col-lect $13,942,455 in property

taxes, which is down $11,604 from the 2011-2012 approved budget. Sales tax is projected to increase slightly, projected at $1,929,657, which is an increase of two percent more than this year’s budget.

Commissioners decided to hold a special meeting to discuss the Harmon Field, fire departments and rescue squad budgets on May 15 at 7 p.m. This meeting was previously scheduled for May 16.

The county has scheduled a budget work session for June 4 at 6 p.m. prior to a regular meeting and another work session if necessary on June 5. The public hearing is scheduled for June 11 at 7 p.m. during a special meet-ing, and commissioners are scheduled to adopt the budget on June 18. The new budget year begins on July 1.

Congregational Women’s Fellowship Luncheon May 21

On Monday, May 21, the Women’s Fellowship of the Congregational Church in Tryon will host a special lun-cheon. A social time will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by a catered luncheon at noon and a presentation by Clara Gandy at 12:45 p.m.

Gandy, a member of the church’s congregation, has a Ph.D in history and taught col-lege history for many years. She will speak about the importance of the King James edition of the Bible as it reveals the religious and political tensions of the first 100 years of the Protestant Reformation in Europe. Great controversy surrounded the writing and publication of the Holy Scriptures into the lan-

guages of the common people.In 1611, King James I of

England authorized the publi-cation of the Bible. Today, 400 years later, the work continues to have literary as well as scriptural importance around the world.

All interested congregation and community members are invited to attend. There is no charge for anyone wanting to attend only the program at 12:45 p.m.

Reservations for the lun-cheon are requested by noon on Thursday, May 17. Call 828-894-0197, email [email protected] or call the church office at 828-859-9414.

Henderson no longer dry county after May 8 primary

Henderson County is no lon-ger dry after residents approved referenda on Tuesday, May 8 to allow alcohol sales in unincorpo-rated areas of the county.

It was the first time since 1955 that Henderson County residents have had a chance to vote on the issue and all four measures on the ballot passed by a wide margin. Residents supported sales of beer and wine in restaurants, conve-nience and grocery stores, with 59 percent in favor of beer sales and 61 percent in favor of wine sales. Residents also voted to al-low ABC stores (67 percent) and sales of mixed beverages in ho-tels, restaurants, pr ivate c lubs, community the-aters and conven-tion centers (68 percent).

May 8’s vote marks a signifi-cant change since the last time a vote was held on alcohol sales 57 years ago. The county at that time had a population of just 35,000, while today it has 107,000 resi-dents, including many who came from other areas where alcohol sales are permitted.

***After years of plant closings

and layoffs, manufacturing jobs are coming back to the Asheville area, according to the N.C. Divi-sion of Employment Security.

The Asheville metro area, which includes Buncombe, Hen-derson, Haywood and Madison counties, gained 600 manufactur-ing jobs since May of last year. The 4-percent increase comes after the metro area lost approxi-mately 12,000 manufacturing jobs in the past two decades.

As of March of this year, the Asheville metro area had 118,400 workers in manufacturing posi-tions.

***TD Bank plans to begin hir-

ing soon for 200 positions at its new call center in Greenville, S.C. The bank plans to open the call center in August as part of its new regional headquarters on a new campus on I-85.

TD Bank, which announced last year it plans to bring a total of 1,400 jobs to its Upstate cam-pus, is consolidating call center operations across the country. At the same time it announced the openings in Greenville, the bank announced it will eliminate about 200 jobs at its call center in Springfield, Mass.

After taking over Carolina First and South Financial Group, TD Bank says it is consolidating

call center operations in Maine, New Jersey and South Carolina. - source: www.wyff.com, 5-9-12

***JTEKT Automotive South

Carolina Inc., a manufacturer of automotive components, says it will expand its operations in Greenville, S.C., adding at least 80 jobs over the next two years.

The company plans to invest $102 million in expansion of its Greenville County manufactur-ing facility in Piedmont. A new building next to the existing plant will increase the company’s driveline component capacity. JTEKT plans to begin hiring for the new positions in October.

posal would affect competition in the Carolinas utility market.

Duke and Progress worked with utility customer advocates to form a new proposal, which includes the sale of some power plant capacity to wholesale customers to address those concerns about insufficient competition. The utilities also agree in the new proposal to cut retail customer rates by $70 mil-lion over the next few years and they will not ask retail customers to pay any part of the $230 mil-lion in employee severance costs expected as part of the merger.

The companies plan to pay for most of the $110 million in new transmission construc-tion, and they will return N.C. customers their share of $650 million in savings expected from combining their power plant fleets.

***N.C. Gov. Bev Perdue has

included $10.3 million in her new proposed budget to compensate eugenics victims.

The money would also be used to support a foundation fo-cused on assisting victims of the state’s eugenics program, which sterilized approximately 7,600 North Carolina residents between 1929 and 1974. The residents were sterilized because they were deemed unfit to have children.

Last year the state set up a Eu-genics Compensation Task Force to consider compensation for the victims. The task force recom-mended a lump-sum payment of $50,000 and mental health services for the victims.

State officials have said they believe there may be as many as 2,000 people still alive who were sterilized under the program. So far, the state says it has identified more than 100 victims across the state.

“We’re all just walking each other home.”

~ Ram Dass On an overcast Monday morn-

ing, a whisper of mountain cool in the silver air, I headed to downtown Saluda to hang a few new paint-ings in the Purple Onion before they opened for lunch. Going in, it was a treat to get hugs from staff, and owner Susan Casey; then spot Robert Seiler coming in for an early cup of java. After finishing there, down the sidewalk I went, spotting our Sa-luda mayor Fred heading to the post office, as well as the busy Morgan clan sprucing up merchandise in their two stores. On to the bank: I went in, got greeted warmly by name. Heading back along Main Street, I ducked into Thompson’s store, hoping for balsamic vinegar — Cindy at the cash register led me to it right away!

It had crossed my mind to bor-row a couple spoonfuls from one of the restaurants if Thompson’s didn’t have it. Only in Saluda can you borrow such a thing, or find it in a friendly wood-floored historic store. Up the street to the library next for books — where I found even more hugs and discovered that another Saluda old-timer has passed away: John Rhodes. In tears, several of us stood there and talked about John, what a good man.

Margaret Miller, who’d shared the news with the rest of us, said she’d just had coffee with him a few days ago. I’d often spot his familiar old blue truck parked along Main Street and smiled to myself, knowing John was in the grill sharing some good stories with buddies. You always would see John with his cap on, a smile in his twinkling eyes: and he always had a hug.

You’d always see him at the Veteran’s Day memorial services too. There was no one like him — and Saluda’s lost yet another Saluda treasure, a little piece of the past. Even in the sadness of losing

someone special, there we stood in our little friendly town library, feeling connected to each other — all aware of the shortness of life, the gifts we have in just being here — each of us part of a whole, in a small town that cares deeply. I came back up the hill to home, and thought about all those hugs I’d just gotten, and how I’d said and heard a number of times in my time down on Main Street Saluda: “I love you.” We all need that in

this life; and it’s for sure, we do share this life, walking each other home.

Communi-ty: The Saluda Tailgate Mar-

ket will be open Fridays during the growing season, 4:30 p.m. at the city parking lot off Main Street. Offerings include fresh vegetables, meat, fruit, honey, baked items, plants and much more.

It’s almost time for the Saluda Arts Festival on May 19 with 65 artists/craftspeople. Thank you Polk County Community Foun-dation for sponsoring music for this event!

Saluda Center: Bill Jameson’s art students will exhibit May 5-31. There will be an artists’ reception May 11 at 5:30 p.m.

The Women’s Club of Saluda recently awarded $1,000 scholar-ships to two Polk County High School students from Saluda: Kari Malkki and Cade Underwood. Mark your calendar in advance for the Women’s Club fundraiser “The Saluda Doo Wop Hop” on June 2, 5:30-9 p.m. at the Saluda Center. All money raised goes to the scholarship fund for deserving Saluda students.

Thank you, dear readers for reading this column; as Walter Cronkite closed his evening news cast every night with, “And that’s the way it is,” I like to close off by saying thank you each and every time!

Dr. Olin Sansbury will speak on the timely subject of Ameri-can elections at the Lanier Library on Tuesday, May 15 at noon. The program is part of the Lanier Library’s Brown Bag Lunch series and the audience is encouraged to bring their lunch. Coffee will be provided.

The former director, and later chancellor, of USC Spartan-burg, Sansbury earned his Ph.D. in international studies from the University of South Caro-lina and his bachelor’s degree from Wofford College. He also served in the U. S. Army and is a veteran of the Vietnam War. As a visiting professor, from 2004 to 2008, he also taught a course on American presidents at Wofford College. He and his wife retired to Tryon in 2010. Last month he was honored by USC Upstate, which dedicated The Olin B. Sansbury Jr. Cam-pus Life Center at the university in his honor.

Sansbury will discuss how the process of choosing a presi-dent has changed significantly over the years. He said, “The first presidents were chosen to a large extent by Congress, which is very different from the current situation, and since World War II elections have become increas-ingly elaborate and significantly more expensive. It is also much more difficult to govern now.”

Raffle to benefit Lance Armstrong Foundation

Tryon custom guitar builder Jay Lichty has partnered with John Cash of Nature’s Storehouse in Tryon to raise awareness and funds for the cancer survivorship and research programs of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, via a guitar raffle.

“We have found guitar raffles to be an effective way for Lichty Guitars to give back to our com-munity and to help raise awareness about causes we are passionate about,” said Corrie Woods of Li-chty Guitars.

The raffle guitar is a handmade dreadnought guitar with a cutaway body style. The back and sides are made of hormigo and the top is cedar. As an added bonus, Lance Armstrong signed the label inside this guitar. The retail value of this guitar is $4,700. You can see and hear this guitar at the Lichty Gui-tars website, www.lichtyguitars.com.

The raffle tickets will be sold until June 2. The winning ticket will be drawn the night of June 2 at the Geoff Achison/Randall Bramblett concert at the Tryon Fine Arts Center.

Cash, own-er of Nature’s Storehouse, is coordinating this raffle. Cash is a passionate advo-cate for the Lance Armstrong Foun-dation and local cancer survivor-ship programs.

“Most people’s lives are touched by cancer, either as a per-sonal health challenge or as a diag-nosis and battle fought by someone close,” John Cash said. “The Lance Armstrong Foundation has raised more than 400 million dollars for cancer survivorship programs, support programs, research and awareness building campaigns.”

Cash, a dedicated bicyclist, re-cently completed his annual Climb to Conquer Cancer, another exam-ple of his fundraising efforts for the

Lance Armstrong Foundation. It is a grueling bike ride that entails 10 trips up and down the moun-tain grade be-tween the North Carolina towns of Tryon and Sa-luda.

You can pur-chase raffle tickets in person at Nature’s Storehouse or from any-where in the country using a credit card by calling 828-859-6356 dur-ing normal business hours.

For more information about the guitar raffle, visit lichtyguitars.com.

St. Luke’s celebrates National Hospital WeekFrom simple acts of kind-

ness, to being present during delicate aspects of people’s lives, healthcare workers per-form heroic deeds. Every day they bring professionalism, compassion and dedication to their work and to those who are in their care.

St. Luke’s Hospital invites the community to join in giving healthcare workers a special expression of gratitude for their service. From May 7-11, this tribute is part of a celebration of National Hospital Week that runs concurrently with National Nurses Week.

National Hospital Week is a time when people in our com-munity can give recognition to a group of individuals who perform an important commu-nity service every day. It takes head, hand and heart to do their jobs. Every day our hospital

staff comes to work, not know-ing what to expect, but ready for anything. National Hospital Week is a time to take the extra effort to show these dedicated people that their work matters and we notice their exceptional quality of care.

National Hospital Week, first and foremost, is a celebration of people. We’re extremely proud of each member of our staff, and we recognize the important role they play in extending a sense of trust to our patients and our communities.

The nation’s largest health care event, National Hospital Week dates back to 1921 when a magazine editor suggested

Caring for our Community

by Ken Shull

the celebration in hope that a community-wide celebration would alleviate public fears about hospitals. The celebra-tion, launched in Chicago, suc-ceeded in promoting trust and goodwill among members of the public and eventually spread to facilities across the country.

While I’m sure that most hospitals across the country are celebrating Hospital Week, I wonder if there’s another in the US that has as great a group of dedicated staff as those right here in Polk County at St. Luke’s Hospital.

We’re very fortunate to have such outstanding employees who care for our patients with great skill and compassion. During National Hospital Week, please join me in recognizing the staff of St. Luke’s Hospital where we provide exceptional care, right here, close to home.

RULING FROM THE GRAVE

Q. If we leave our property in trust for our children, won't we be "ruling from the grave?"A. This question comes up frequently. Parents know their children's strengths and weaknesses well. If a child is mature and generally man-ages his or her life well, there is no reason for a trust to be unduly restrictive. In that case, a trust can actually be a "gift within a gift" providing access to funds for the child, but protecting the funds from ex-spouses and judgment creditors. If the child is not

WHAT IS PROBATE?Q. What is probate anyway?A. In a nutshell, the probate process is a court proceeding that establishes the validity of a will and provides oversight to ensure accuracy in accounting for a decedent's assets, fair-ness in the treatment of heirs, and protection for the rights of the decedent's creditors. The process begins with the presen-tation of the will and can take on average 6 to 12 months. Of course this depends on the com-plexity of the estate and whether there are any challenges to the will. It is not necessary to hire a lawyer for every probate. If the assets are simple and there are no tax or other complexities and the executor is available in the state and has the time and capacity to handle the matters that arise, the executor can complete the process without attorney involvement.For answers on this or other estate planning issues call (828) 696-1811.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Building blocks of proteinsProtein is one of our body’s ma-

jor building blocks. It’s a primary component of our organs, muscles, tendons, ligaments and glands. In fact the function of every living cell depends on protein.

The word protein comes from the Greek word proteios mean-ing “of prime importance.” It’s so important that protein is often referred to as the quintessential nu-trient. Protein is formed by syn-thesizing ami-no acids. Our bodies need 22 amino acids to synthesize proteins.

These amino acids can be di-vided into two groups. The first is called “essential,” because these amino acids can’t be manufactured by our bodies. The non-essential amino acids can. Proteins can also be broken down into two categories. Complete proteins, which contain all essential amino acids, and incomplete proteins which don’t.

Complete proteins come from animal sources like poultry, meat, fish, dairy products and eggs, while incomplete proteins come from plant sources like vegetables, fruits and whole grains.

In addition to helping form ma-jor tissues in our bodies, proteins are used to make enzymes and some hormones. For example, in-sulin is a protein that helps regulate blood sugars.

Proteins are also a critical com-ponent of our immune system. Proteins are needed to produce antibodies, which are gamma globulin proteins our immune sys-tems use to identify and neutralize foreign objects such as bacteria.

Some proteins have the specific task of transporting nutrients and other needed molecules through-out our bodies. Proteins play an essential role in maintaining our body’s fluid balance. Since pro-teins are too large to pass through the semipermeable membranes of blood vessels, they create osmotic pressure which shifts water toward them. This draws fluid away from tissues, back into the bloodstream.

Even though we must obtain

protein from our diets, I don’t rec-ommend over consumption.

First of all, the average per-son can only absorb about 25-30 grams at a time. What’s left over, the body doesn’t store, it excretes. That’s not the biggest problem though. Ridding your body of ex-cess protein puts a heavy strain on your kidneys. In fact, back in the 60s and 70s, some actually died

from those con-centrated liquid protein diets.

I r e c o m -mend one’s diet

contain no more than 30 percent calories from protein. The RDA for protein for healthy adults is 0.8 grams for each kilogram (2.2 pounds) ideal body weight. Ideal body weight should be used here, rather than actual body weight, because body fat contains very little protein.

I recommend your dietary protein come from both plant and animal sources. Some folks try “protein combining.” The theory is that is you eat two complimen-tary foods, each missing different amino acids, you get a complete protein. That’s only half true, be-cause there is a difference between a complete protein and a high quality one.

What constitutes a high quality protein for human consumption is not just all amino acids present, but the amount of certain amino acids, and plant based proteins in and of themselves don’t provide this. Also, for those of you watching your weight, don’t fall into what I call the “protein trap.” Many diet-ers would never think about eating a 6 ounce bag of potato chips (that’s a family sized bag, by the way) in one sitting, but would think nothing of eating a nine ounce sirloin steak. Guess what? Protein and carbohy-drates have the same number of calories (4) per gram.

Humane Society Special Cases

Leonard Rizzo

It’s been a hectic week and a joyous week all in one. I fear sometimes I run the risk of being redundant, but it is what it is.

Kaniska and Katrina, my two 6-month-old Am-staff pups finally received a clean bill of health and are now on display at FHS. Since their abandonment, we lost their third sister and they’ve been in a tiny cage until they were healthy and we found room at the shelter. Though they are shy (who can blame them) they had a ball riding in my car, climbing all over and looking out windows. They were thrilled to have a large run at the shelter and I have sat in with them often allowing them to give up the trust.

The following day I drove over to Dogwood Farms to visit Buck and ran into Heather and Brad who have my precious Jewel. I had been informed that Brad and Heather had just walked Buck so I spent the time relishing a visit with my little friend, Jewel. Though her rare lung problem (she is missing cilia) can never be cured, she is thriving under the care of Brad and Heather. I learned of all that is be-ing done for her and was brought to tears witnessing the love that is shared between Jewel and this wonderful couple. I was also grateful to see that Jewel didn’t

It wouldn’t happen without youforget Uncle Lennie either, not for one minute. When I learned that they would be back on Thursday, I made arrangements to come back and visit after my morning shift at the shelter.

I left Dogwood Farms and headed over to see a good friend and supporter, Dr. Jones at Head

Memorial Clinic. Robert had been instrumental in he lp ing wi th Jewel ’s case when it looked

like there wasn’t much hope. He jumped at the chance to visit Buck and Jewel in two days and I arranged to pick him up around noon.

We arrived shortly after noon on Thursday, right on schedule. I was tingling with excitement, get-ting a chance to spend some time with two of my most precious kids. Both Jewel and Buck separately had the time of their lives dishing out love to Josh, Astrid, Heather, Brad, Dr. Jones and myself.

Buck is scheduled to see Dr. Allen at Upstate on Tuesday and I’m hoping he’ll at last get the go ahead to run on his injured leg. Josh agreed to hold him for another week after that to social-ize him with other dogs. It will all be worth it once I see Buck in a forever home, hopefully one as

loving as Jewel has.As I headed home I said a

prayer of thanks for the help I’ve received in all these cases. More than $1,500 has been spent on Kaniska and Katrina and their lost sister. Added to that, the money spent on Jewel and Buck was more than $8,000 came from Lennie’s fund. I say this because though I have fundraisers twice a year, it is what happens in between that makes it all possible. The money sent to me, handed to me or put in jars for my kids all adds up, no matter how small the donations. Buck, Jewel, the two sisters and so many others are thriving because of all of you. I’m aware that lots of the gifts I receive are anonymous but believe me, your dollars help save lives. So to those of you whom I may never know, I want to take this to say, “God bless you all and thank you.”

Thanks for listening.

Elynn Bernstein will offer a workshop in nuno felting at Tryon Arts and Crafts School (TACS) on Saturday, May 19, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Many people are familiar with felting methods that com-press wool roving and create dense fabric that is used in hats and winter garments. Nuno felt-ing is a way to inject soft fabric like silk with wool roving to create an entirely new texture that combines the dense and rough with soft and smooth. The result is a scarf or garment that has an abstract quality and a very uneven surface and out-line. Many colors are blended together to produce a rainbow of hues in one wearable piece. Each creation is distinctly orig-inal, bringing a new dimension to both silk and wool.

Nuno felt is much admired for its textures, lightweight

qualities and versatility. In this class students will make a one-of-a-kind nuno-felted scarf, covering the basics and going

beyond to explore the many options available when design-ing and embellishing nuno felt.

Participants will be stand-

ing a great part of the time and will need adequate upper body

When we make mistakes and don’t live up to their expecta-tions our mothers still love us. We are always good people

strength for rolling and fulling. Some previous felting experi-ence is important.

There will be a small materi-als fee per person to cover silk fabric and wool roving.

Bernstein was formerly trained as a painter and worked in that medium for more than 25 years. She made the change to fiber when she made a change in her life. From living a city life, she moved to a mountain-top in Hendersonville, N.C. and started a small hobby farm. Sheep were part of her flock, then her medium.

She said, “My fiber art still involves painting. I paint dyes on the wool and silk to start my creations. The same criteria used in any design work – tex-ture, color, balance and rhythm – are taken into consideration in the felted pieces. My sense

of playfulness and whimsy are as evident in my felted pieces as they were in my paintings.”

Bernsetin has recently be-come a member of The South-ern Highland Crafts Guild and has been awarded a 2011 Regional Artists Grant from the Arts Council of Henderson County. Her work can currently be seen at Nice Threads Fiber and Studio Gallery in Black Mountain, N.C. and Bellagio and the Grovewood Gallery in Asheville, N.C.

Advance registration for all workshops is required. For more information about the instructor or workshop, includ-ing tuition and supply costs, contact TACS at 828-859-8323 or [email protected].

RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST

Realities of book projects during ‘Vent Fests’Evidently, I’ve been under a

misconception regarding writers.I’ve always thought of it as the

dream job: visualizing someone pecking the keys of their Smith-Corona or ‘Word,’ glancing in-termittently at the mountain view outside their cabin window and contentedly puffing away on a pipe.

First of all, the pipe part made me retch.

S e c o n d l y , none of the above is even remotely true.

Currently, at the Funny Farm, Paul and I are both working fe-verishly on our book projects. Mine is the hardcover copy of my recent e-book, a compilation of these columns over the years, and Paul’s is an easy to follow ‘how to’ approach about rose care. Mine is nearly finished as all I had to do was select columns that were favorites of readers and approve the final mock-up cover, but Paul is dealing with deadlines from his editor along with a steady stream of queries about lay-out.

“No, no!” I hear him, exasper-ated, as he responds aloud to an-other email. “Tea roses are not the same things as Hybrid Teas! It’s a separate category!”

Tip-toeing past his office, not daring to step inside during one of these ‘Vent Fests” as I call them, I slide a tray of dinner over the threshold, as if feeding a prisoner.

“It’s spaghetti again,” I apolo-gize. “Sorry. It’s the only thing I know how to make.”

“Doesn’t matter, I don’t have time to eat — this has to be finished by tomorrow morning.” he mutters, hunched over his keyboard.

“Would you rather have it for breakfast?”

“No.”“Lunch?”“I don’t want anything!”“OK, OK, suit yourself, but

everybody who runs marathons says you should load up on carbs before a big physical challenge.”

I was saved by his Beatles ring-tone of “Hello, Goodbye.”

This just isn’t at all what I

envisioned when Paul was asked to write this book. I began to think of us perhaps becoming one of those erudite literary couples...the sort who give you a wan smile over their Burberry eyeglasses at a cocktail party and reply, “I’m sorry, I don’t know the show you talk of- you see, we don’t own a television.” or reading chapters of

our latest tome to each other in bed with a glass of wine. I mean, I toured Carl Sandburg’s farm and I swear

I could see the gentle ghost of the great poet in his study, musing over his typewriter. I’ll bet he just took a stroll down to the pond with his guitar or walked through the goat barn when he was frustrated. I’ll bet he never turned down dinner and, surely, he didn’t cuss so much.

Then, again, there are writers who have had notoriously bad tempers. They’ve been awful hus-bands and heavy drinkers. Some have even shot themselves. I don’t think Paul would ever do that, but

he does have a six-toed cat. I steered clear of the house in

general this week when Paul, a prominent vein beginning to throb across his forehead, barked from his office, “Glossary? They want me to add a glossary?” and bunked in with the horses. It was much quieter but they didn’t want the spaghetti, either.

The storm passed and calmer heads prevailed the following morning when the deadline was met with all final revisions. Pouring a bowl of cereal, he was actually humming.

“All done?” I asked cautiously. “All done!” he replied trium-

phantly. Spilling a glug of milk over his granola, he added, “It’s a pretty cool thing when you have that final meeting with your pub-lisher and they say, “Be thinking about what you want to write about for your second book!”

“Second book?” I replied like a whip crack.

“Yep!”Better get a satellite dish in-

stalled in the barn. It’s gonna be a long summer.
