Depot recognized at state levelU.S. 74/ I-26 accident injures mom and childMom charged with DWI, child abuse, reckless drivingby Leah Justice

A one-vehicle wreck along U.S. 74 just before I-26 Tues-day, Feb. 26 seriously injured a mother and her 2-year old son, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol.

N.C. State Trooper Grady McGraw said Jessica Rhodes, of Arden, was driving a Honda passenger vehicle westbound along U.S. 74 in Columbus around 7:30 p.m. when she ran off the road to the left and struck a tree.

Rhodes was charged with driving while impaired, misde-meanor child abuse, child unrestrained and reckless driving, according to McGraw.

McGraw said Rhodes’2-year old son was in a child-restraining seat in the back of the car, but he was not buckled.

Emergency crews had to cut Rhodes out of the vehicle because she was entrapped, McGraw said. The 2-year old was not entrapped.

Although a helicopter was called, it was unable to ar-rive because of foggy conditions. Both were transported to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center by ambulance with significant injuries, according to McGraw.

pen has frequently appeared on the show, was instrumental in getting “Pitmasters” to come to Tryon.

“I’ve wanted this for a long time,” Tabb said. “The show has a great following, and it will bring even more national attention to our area.”

Destination America serves up pulled-pork perfection with its se-ries “BBQ Pitmasters.” The show takes fans into the high-stakes world of barbeque competitions by traveling to the best barbecue festivals in the country, show-casing America’s top hard-core barbecue grillers.

The prize is ultimate barbecue bragging rights and a $50,000 cash prize from Kingsford Char-coal, and entry into the Kingsford Invitational. A panel of judges, including series veteran Myron Mixon, decides the competitors’ fate by blind tasting the grilled creations to determine whose barbecue is worth the sauce and

whose should be dropped to the side of the grill.

The series, which premiered on TLC in 2009, plans to film in Tryon during the Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival as it celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.

Festival chairman Chuck Brit-ton said he’s excited to add an-other layer to the celebration of this monumental year for the North Carolina state barbecue competition.

“What a fitting way to add to the fun and excitement of this special birthday year,” he said.

Last year the festival saw re-cord numbers with Britton report-ing early numbers of 12,198 paid gate admissions and entrance of 2,898 kids on both days. A total of 3,688 adults got in without charge during free admission hours Fri-day morning last year.

The festival each year includes a professional barbecue competi-tion, an arts and crafts section, car show and amusement rides and games for kids.

(Buddy), 67, formerly of Ruth-erfordton, N.C. died Sunday, Feb. 24, 2013 at Catawba Valley Medical Center in Hickory, N.C.

He was born Oct. 31, 1945 in the first wave of baby boomers nearing the end of WWII.

Buddy was born at Rex Hos-pital in Raleigh, N.C. to Ernest Henry Cappelmann Jr. and Doro-thy Evans Cappelmann. He at-

tended Camden High School, and gradu-ated from Oak Ridge Military School in

North Carolina. He also attended Wofford College and served his country in the United States Air Force.

At a young age he became very involved in swimming and diving and throughout his life enjoyed all water sports. He coached swimming at the Green-ville YMCA. Buddy spent many enjoyable hours on his boat and

water skiing on Lake Hartwell and Saluda Lake. He loved being outdoors and was always happiest when he was near the water.

He was predeceased by his parents, and is survived by daugh-ters, Anne Joyce of Raleigh, N.C. and Sally Bonazzi of Charleston, S.C.; and grandchildren, Woo-ten, James, Ella and Ainsley. Also surviving are siblings, John Charles Cappelmann of Oriental, N.C., James Mark Cappelmann of Sumter, S.C. and Julie Cappel-mann Crum of New Bern, N.C.; Aunt Carolyn and Uncle Joe Hart of Ferrum, Va.; nine nieces and nephews and many cousins.

the state.David Searcy, who said he’s

been a Columbus business own-er for about 30 years, said Co-lumbus officers are everywhere, saying they are seen at the top of the Saluda grade and out of state. He said Columbus officers “seem to be everywhere.”

“As a business owner I don’t like it,” David Searcy said. “I’m ready to close up shop and leave town. They are stopping people when they don’t need to be.”

David Searcy continued to say officers don’t give warn-ings and once someone is in court they don’t have a chance because it’s all about money.

“I don’t feel like I’m proud to be in Columbus anymore,” said David Searcy.

Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield addressed the con-cerns and said, “it’s not popular when you enforce the law.”

He told council and the pub-

lic that anyone who feels they have been treated unfairly or unprofessionally should contact the police department and file a complaint. People also have recourse through the court sys-tem, he said.

Beddingfield said his officers give many warning tickets and the enforce-ment has cut down on acci-dents dramati-cally.

In federal f i s c a l y e a r 2012 (Oct. 1, 2011-Sept. 30, 2012), the Co-lumbus Police D e p a r t m e n t w r o t e 4 0 5 warning tick-ets and so far in 2013 (October through January), the depart-ment has written 159 warning tickets. During 2012, officers wrote 58 speeding tickets for someone going 25 mph or more over the speed limit, according

to Beddingfield. There were 362 tickets issued for persons going between 16 and 24 mph over the speed limit in 2012. In 2012, Columbus police ar-rested 110 persons for driving while impaired. So far in 2013, Columbus officers have arrested 25 persons for driving while

impaired.According

to the town’s monthly police report, in Janu-ary, the police department is-sued a total of 199 citations, including 92 for speeding and 19 for drug charges.

“ W h a t we’re doing is for public safety, saving lives and reducing traffic accidents,” Beddingfield said. “If you’re not violating the law, you don’t have anything to worry about.”

Beddingfield also said traf-fic enforcement is so important because all crimes go mobile at some point, including for drugs and stolen property. And the most successful way to catch criminals is through traffic en-forcement.

Brenda Searcy said she was stopped pulling out of U.S. 74 and an officer tore out from the BP, came flying up the road and said he clocked her doing 56 mph in a 45 mph zone.

“I know that I was not,” she said. “I had just pulled out.”

She said she was not speed-ing and she’s never had a speed-ing ticket in North Carolina un-til then. She said she was found guilty in court and it cost her more than $200 for something she said she was not guilty of.

“It made sense when I read in the Bulletin today because they

get so many points,” Brenda Searcy said. “Do you know how many people’s businesses have fell off since they’ve been doing this the past six months?”

She added that it’s “our” tax money that pays for part of the officers’ salaries.

“I don’t mind helping the town but I’m not going to be harassed,” she said.

Columbus Mayor Eric Mc-Intyre said there is always one police officer on duty within city limits. He also told the Searcys council would take what they said and see where the town can improve if it needs to improve.

Beddingfield said the depart-ment does not get points for writing tickets, only for partici-pating in joint operational check points and classes for Bike-Safe. Columbus participates in the N.C. Governor’s Highway Safety Program and receives points for participation, which equates dollar for dollar in free equipment for the department. Columbus was recently honored for being the top point-getter in the state for 2012.

Beddingfield also said his department gets more com-plaints that officers are not do-ing enough speed enforcement in town than that they do too much. The speed limit along Mills Street was lowered from 35 mph to 25 mph due to citizen complaints over speeding.

Beddingfield also said he knows of no businesses that have closed due to their pres-ence in town.

“I’d hope people would feel safer coming to town due to there being less chance of get-ting hit by a drunk driver or speeder,” said Beddingfield. “We’re not out to harass people or to treat people unfairly, but to keep people safe.”

“What we’re doing is for public safety, saving lives and reducing traffic accidents. If you’re not violating the law, you don’t have anything to worry about.”

Laurel Hurst residents recog-nized Black History Month with a celebration of music, food and trivia.

The music was provided by sisters Alberta Lee and LaurelHurst employee Dianne Brown. The ladies sang “We Shall Overcome,” “The Battle Hymn of the Repub-lic,” “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and “My Country Tis of Thee.”

Selected portions were read from Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech. Later residents enjoyed pinto beans and cornbread while answering trivia questions about black history. One resident said he was disap-pointed only because the music didn’t last longer.

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.

humans, so they use their tongues and the pads of their feet to

release heat.

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.

as i write this early on feb. 26 dawn is breaking over tryon beneath a pouring rain.

We are under a winter weather advisory, hender-son County is having an ice storm, the midwest is strug-gling through yet another blizzard, a priest friend of mine in Boothbay harbor, maine cannot get out of her house because of the snow drifts, and there are severe storms and tornado warnings over central florida.

a few days ago i sat at the bar in the hare and the hound Pub in Landrum and watched it snow out a golf tournament in tuscon, ariz. now i could go on and on about climate change and expose you to my environmental politics, but i will save that for an-

other time. What i want to talk about today is human nature in the face of catastrophes – natural or man-made.

if you will remember, a few days ago the media was flooded with the news of a cruise ship adrift in the Carib-bean. Some internal disaster had left the ship without pow-er in the middle of the ocean and it took several days to tow it back to shore. the pas-sengers were left with little food and water, were plagued by terrible sewage problems, and even took to sleeping on the decks in makeshift tents to escape the fetid condi-tions in the lower decks. a lot of media time focused on the physical conditions and

the cruise line’s response, but only a very few com-mentators talked about the care the people on that ship gave to one another. upper berth passengers opened their cabins to strangers, food and water was shared, personal medications were brought out and exchanged as needed. in short, they rallied together in the face of trouble to be a community of helping hands for one another.

the very same kinds of things have happened or are happening all over our country. in the face of a dire emergency we come to one another’s aid, often in he-roic fashion, and those who choose to refrain from help-ing those in distress are re-

garded with nothing short of contempt. Complete strang-ers risk injury or death to try to help another in distress. they give of their means, however meager, to assist someone who is hurt or suf-fering. But why? Why do we rally together in the face of extreme adversity? a biolo-gist friend once told me it’s the human reaction to a herd-ing instinct, but i do not think it is that simple.

We are all creatures of the same creator and we share the divine spark of life. in times of immediate hardship we are drawn to one another’s aid because we share one holy life. it is true that not every-one will participate, and it is also true that there are those who will exploit, abuse, and take advantage of those who are in trouble, sorrow, weak-

In dire emergency good people arise • Good people(continued from page 8)

(continued on page 9)

ness or any other adversity. But those who turn a blind eye to one in need, or who seek to take advantage of those who are in danger, or are sick, or who are troubled and in want of help are far outweighed by the wealth of assistance and good will of-fered by the rest.

Sad to say, but the ones who choose to ignore the plight of the stranger or ex-ploit the needs of those in trouble are most in need of help themselves since their very souls teeter on the brink of perdition. as Jesus said, “do to others as you would have done to you.”

it is a mandate we should all heed daily.

We are under a winter weather advisory, hender-son County is having an ice storm, the midwest is strug-gling through yet another blizzard, a priest friend of mine in Boothbay harbor, maine cannot get out of her house because of the snow drifts, and there are severe storms and tornado warnings over central florida.

a few days ago i sat at the bar in the hare and the hound Pub in Landrum and watched it snow out a golf tournament in tuscon, ariz. now i could go on and on about climate change and expose you to my environmental politics, but i will save that for an-

other time. What i want to talk about today is human nature in the face of catastrophes – natural or man-made.

if you will remember, a few days ago the media was flooded with the news of a cruise ship adrift in the Carib-bean. Some internal disaster had left the ship without pow-er in the middle of the ocean and it took several days to tow it back to shore. the pas-sengers were left with little food and water, were plagued by terrible sewage problems, and even took to sleeping on the decks in makeshift tents to escape the fetid condi-tions in the lower decks. a lot of media time focused on the physical conditions and

the cruise line’s response, but only a very few com-mentators talked about the care the people on that ship gave to one another. upper berth passengers opened their cabins to strangers, food and water was shared, personal medications were brought out and exchanged as needed. in short, they rallied together in the face of trouble to be a community of helping hands for one another.

the very same kinds of things have happened or are happening all over our country. in the face of a dire emergency we come to one another’s aid, often in he-roic fashion, and those who choose to refrain from help-ing those in distress are re-

garded with nothing short of contempt. Complete strang-ers risk injury or death to try to help another in distress. they give of their means, however meager, to assist someone who is hurt or suf-fering. But why? Why do we rally together in the face of extreme adversity? a biolo-gist friend once told me it’s the human reaction to a herd-ing instinct, but i do not think it is that simple.

We are all creatures of the same creator and we share the divine spark of life. in times of immediate hardship we are drawn to one another’s aid because we share one holy life. it is true that not every-one will participate, and it is also true that there are those who will exploit, abuse, and take advantage of those who are in trouble, sorrow, weak-

In dire emergency good people arise • Good people(continued from page 8)

(continued on page 9)

ness or any other adversity. But those who turn a blind eye to one in need, or who seek to take advantage of those who are in danger, or are sick, or who are troubled and in want of help are far outweighed by the wealth of assistance and good will of-fered by the rest.

Sad to say, but the ones who choose to ignore the plight of the stranger or ex-ploit the needs of those in trouble are most in need of help themselves since their very souls teeter on the brink of perdition. as Jesus said, “do to others as you would have done to you.”

it is a mandate we should all heed daily.

Identifying Trees in the winter draws crowd at Walnut Creek PreserveOn Saturday, Feb. 16, the Paco-

let Area Conservancy (PAC) and Walnut Creek Preserve (WCP) co-sponsored “Identifying Trees in the Winter,” a free program presented by Shannon Buckley at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center.

Almost 40 people attended the free program, where Shannon Buckley treated guests to his knowl-edge of winter tree identification. Buckley started the presentation with an introduction of how to identify trees when they have no leaves. Using projected images, he taught the group how to recognize different, unique characteristics of trees, such as features of the twigs, buds, leaf scars, bark and fruit. Then, a majority of the group joined Buckley, PAC’s Pam Torlina and WCP’s Babs Strickland for a walk on the preserve to look at trees in the field and learn how to recognize those unique characteristics and use them to identify specific trees. With the unusual snowfall on the Feb. 16, this really was a winter tree ID program.

The next PAC and WCP pro-gram will take place on Satur-day, March 2, at 10:30 a.m. at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at WCP. Doug Elliott, naturalist and storyteller, will present “More Woodslore and Wildwoods Wis-dom — Stories, Songs, and Lore Celebrating the Natural World,” an encore to his popular “Woodslore and Wildwoods Wisdom” presenta-tion that took place at the Nature Center on Jan. 28. Last year’s pro-gram was such a hit that PAC and WCP had to invite him back to do another presentation. This program will provide more “stories, songs, and lore celebrating the natural world.” The program is free of charge and open to the public; it will be a wonderful program for adults and children alike.

For information on upcoming programs at Walnut Creek Preserve, please go to the PAC website at www.pacolet.org and look under the “Upcoming Events/Hikes” tab.

PAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to Protect

and Conserve the area’s natural resources (PACs mission). PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through volun-tary conservation easements (agree-ments), which en-able landowners to maintain own-ership of their property, preserv-

ing precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.) and potentially obtain significant federal, state and lo-cal tax benefits. PAC’s vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural resources and or goal is to provide a legacy that will endure and be valued by generations to come.

PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conserva-

tion and provide education pro-grams emphasizing native species appreciation and responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love.

This year’s PAC and WCP pro-

grams are made possible, in part, by a grant from the Polk County Community Foundation’s Unre-stricted Fund.

I figured I had better write this column early since the fish spawn started a month early in March last year. Late March, through May is the peak spawn-ing months for many species in our area lakes, ponds and rivers. And bed fish-ing, especially for largemouth bass is a very popular method to catching fish.

Bed fishing in-v o l v e s m o v i n g around the shore looking for fish beds, usually a round or semi round “white spot” on the bottom in shallow coves and pockets. When a bed is found, the angler will cast various baits into the bed to agitate the male guard until it bites, then it is kept in the live well so the larger female will defend the “guardless” nest.

So, what’s wrong with that? First of all, most of the bigger females that are caught will be

kept out of the water for long periods having many pictures taken. This is more stressful on the fish because the warmer water temps than the colder months. Then many are paraded around all day being beat around

in a live well and, if fortunate enough, released miles away from their nest. And for many of the big-ger ones, it’s a trip to the taxidermist.

Studies show an average largemouth will lay several thou-

sand eggs, with an average of less than 10 making it to maturi-ty. The odds are stacked against our future brood, from bluegills, carp and turtles, to cold fronts, falling water and us the angler.

After the eggs are laid, the next several weeks will be spent by the male and female guard-ing the new fry, 24 hours a day, from a seemingly non-stop bar-rage of invaders. Now imagine

how difficult that would be for a fish after giving birth several thousand times, then getting wrestled into a boat, kept out of the water, then released. And that’s the best scenario. Just because a fish swims away, it doesn’t mean they are ok. Surely I at least have the lady anglers support on this.

Spring fishing can be some of the best fishing all year. There is nothing wrong with fishing dur-ing the spawn, just do the ethi-cal thing and leave the bed fish alone. You will no doubt catch some bed fish inadvertently, so be sure to release all fish quickly and in the exact spot you caught them.

By doing the right thing, you are investing in the future of fishing for you, and our kids. Do your part to help insure the “brood of our future” make it to just that, the future.

Closing note, I have no bed fishing pictures to post with this column, I hope you understand.

Miniature horses fun day rescheduled to March 2Everyone is welcome to attend

the Foothills Miniature Horse Club (FMHC) Fun Day, 10:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. this coming Saturday, March 2 at Connie and Jeff Brown’s Green Creek Miniature Horse Farm (just down Rte. 9 from The Green Creek Fire Department.)

An “unofficial” fun day, (of-ficially “snowed out” Feb. 16) did happen for any who dared the elements, including Carolina Car-riage Club’s (CCC) President, Price Story, and Halley, the 16-year-old Swedish Gotland mare, who recent-ly came to live at Storybook Farm in Mills River, N.C. They came to practice for their first competition together: the 2013 Salute to Driving in Aiken, S.C. March 1-3.

Connie Brown said she felt sorry for Jeff Brown roasting hot dogs with only his truck for company when he started cooking on “Snow Day.”

“Quite a few came to check out the facility (without horses) in spite of the snow,” she said. “They’re coming and bringing friends with horses and not just the miniature horses.

“In addition to in-hand obstacles that include jumps, as well as the driving events, we’ll have a silent auction, lots of information about CCC, FMHC and other activities, including the Paul Nordan’s CCC

Beginner Driving Clinic scheduled in March.”

Mary Eberius of Tigerville, S.C., who braved the snow with her daughter Erica’s mare, Gucci, hopes to return.

“Erica did a wonderful job of training her for me,” said Eberius. “Gucci and Erica have competed in CCC events since 2007. Now that Erica is a busy student at North Greenville University, I get to drive.”

Also hoping to return with her mini, Blue Blazes Starbuck, is Al-lyson Jones of Campobello, S.C., was caught enjoying the sun with Connie Brown’s Fantasy when the clouds parted and the snow melted.

Don’t forget there is no admis-

sion fee. For more information contact Brown at 828-863-2083 or email [email protected].
