“We could not be more impressed with the doctors, nurses and facilities at The Birth Place.”

A 5-year-old Paul Reid stood in the kitchen of his family’s home in New England listening as his father recited Churchill and flipped flapjacks over the stove. By age 10 he began devouring abridged biographies of men like Churchill and pouring over the World War II history books that filled his home.

Yet, Reid said it would never have occurred to him that one day he’d be propelled into completing the final volume of “The Last Lion,” William Manchester’s biographies on Churchill.

“It’s as if the most improbable string of dominoes fell one by one in different places and different times … and then here I am sitting in [Manchester’s] house in October 2003 and he’s just asked me to finish this book that I had been waiting [to read] too,” Reid said.

Reid can recall coming home to have dinner with his daughters in the 1980s, then pulling Manchester’s volumes from the shelves. It wouldn’t be until years later that the two men would meet.

While a feature writer for The Palm Beach Post, Reid began writing military features specifically on World War II vets. He’d write five to six vet stories a year and eventually this led to getting to know a core group of old marine pals who just happened to

town public works director Joel Burrell at about $250 per tank.

M a r t i n s a i d t h e r e a r e approximately 150 Tryon residents who are not on town sewer.

The town’s ordinance mandates if sewer runs close enough to a property the resident must tie on. Tryon’s problem is there are several areas that sewer is not close by. The town has also faced an issue in recent years of residents discovering they have been paying for sewer for years without being connected to the town’s service.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said he has a problem pumping someone’s sewer if they aren’t paying any type of sewer fee.

Othe r counc i l members mentioned an issue with some septic tanks having to be pumped out too often.

Councilman Roy Miller said the town should only pump out a septic tank once or twice every 10 to 20 years. Councilman George Baker said he agreed that it’s a different situation if the drain fill is faulty.

Council also discussed the issue of residents paying for sewer who don’t have town sewer. Miller said there’s currently a renter whose been paying for sewer for years. The town has now hooked up the residence to sewer but the

question now is who is reimbursed; the renter or the landlord or if any reimbursement should be issued.

The town has experienced two residents since last year that discovered they’d been paying for sewer but actually had a septic tank. The first case was a woman who had been paying for sewer for approximately 21 years. State law says a town can reimburse the last two years of service, but Tryon decided to reimburse her for the past five years. The town also hooked the woman up to town sewer at no charge. The next case was discovered this year with a renter. The town has discussed creating a new policy regarding reimbursement since the second case involved the renter paying approximately $1,300 for sewer service over a few years and it costs approximately the same for the town to connect a residence to sewer. A sewer tap in Tryon is $850 plus the costs of pipe and labor.

Baker said last month he thinks the town should get out of reimbursing residents for sewer fees and has no problem hooking them up to town sewer for free.

Council directed town staff to draft an ordinance with a new policy concerning pumping septic tanks. Martin said this week she is still working on the ordinance and council plans to discuss the proposed ordinance during its Dec. 18 meeting.

The Tryon and Columbus joint traffic operation on Friday, Dec. 7 allowed the two towns to run LIDAR (speed laser) on Trade Street in Tryon from 10 a.m. –noon and in Columbus on Mills Street between I-26 and Food Lion.

In Columbus four traffic citations were issued for speeds ranging from 40-42 mph in the 25 mph zone.

Police Chiefs Jeff Arrowood and Chris Beddingfield then moved to Peak Street between the

Columbus Fire Department and Miller Street where they issued five citations for speeds ranging from 40-47 mph in the 25 mph zone. Beddingfield said the two utilized a LIDAR speed laser acquired from N.C. Governor’s Highway Safety Program. This operation was in conjunction with the beginning of N.C.G.H.S.P.’s Booze it and Lose it program.

have served with Manchester in the war. The two men were introduced not long after Manchester suffered two strokes in 1998.

Manchester and Reid shared many commonalities – stints as feature writers, intense curiosities in history, fervor for the Boston Red Sox – the latter two of which brought them together.

In fact, Reid was watching the Red Sox with Manchester when the writer asked him to finish the final volume of Churchill’s biography.

Reid said Manchester, a former writer for The Baltimore Sun, wanted a newspaperman to finish his work.

“Bill Manchester could write a story and that’s what he wanted from me essentially,” Reid said. “I was just blockheaded enough not to feel a need to really examine this – I just said yes. Really, what are you going to say?”

The plan was originally for Reid to write the third volume

of Churchill’s biography and Manchester to edit it. At the time Reid said he knew it was unlikely Manchester would have the strength to do much swiping of his red pen.

Manchester still suffered the affects of two strokes and by April of 2004 learned he had stomach cancer. He would pass away later that year in June.

During the eight months between the time Manchester asked him to work on the project and Manchester’s death, Reid completed his writing audition for publishers Little, Brown.

No time was left to go over with Manchester his 5,000 tattered pages of notes – 1,000 on 1941 alone – nor the legendary writer’s cryptic method of note taking.

“He wrote the notes – they were for himself. They spoke to him, but they didn’t speak to me,” Reid said.

What they did though was give him perspective on they type of book Manchester intended to write. With 1,000 pages covering the span of only two months during the 1940s, Reid knew Manchester

meant for this to be a long book. So Reid scoured all the same

sources Manchester referenced instead of trying to decipher Manchester’s notes little by little.

Reid got to work reading all of Manchester’s cited sources cover to cover for context. He read dozens of diaries and another dozen memoirs.

“His notes did serve a purpose – they were a launch pad for me. They pointed me in the direction I was supposed to go,” Reid said. “But notes don’t just turn into an engaging narrative. And if you stick too close to them [what you are writing] will turn into a high school chronology and that’s not what you want. You want to know what wine was he drinking, was it snowing outside? You want the details.”

Though both Churchill and Manchester loved metaphors and florid language, Reid knew he couldn’t attempt to copy Manchester’s style. He had to find a way to complete the volume in his own way but compliment the first two books that had been written three decades ago.

This would have been a monumental task for just about anyone, but Reid said he wasn’t intimidated.

“I told William Manchester I wouldn’t let him down. I told the publisher and I told myself I wouldn’t let the readers down,” Reid said. “If I didn’t let him down and I didn’t let readers down, then I feel good.”

And so far it appears he has not. “The Last Lion” has spent four

weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List and currently sits at No. 11.

Paul ReidReid didn’t imagine himself a

writer early on in life. He instead spent stints as a bluegrass musician, a bartender, a taxi driver, and in the end as the owner of a manufacturing company.

“I always enjoyed business and had a head for numbers,” Reid said.

That’s where he thought he would be going as a little boy - to

work in business keeping inventory. He followed this path and ended up with the opportunity to sell his business in his 40s.

A shift was taking place in his life then away from manufacturing, he said.

So, having no college education, Reid went back to school.

In the 90s his life led him to writing a twice-monthly column about politics for the Boston Globe. Reid said he had never written a single word for publication until then.

Both from New England originally, Reid and his wife, Barbara, moved to south Florida for a newspaper job. About the time their kids were grown they felt South Florida had grown too crowded and were ready to move on.

The Reids drove all through the south looking for a new place to settle and call home.

One trip took them to the

Orchard Inn. Reid said they came back again and again as they fell in love with the area – it’s natural beauty and the people they met.

“We were ready for a change in several regards and it certainly was a nice place to write a book,” Reid said.

And that is about all Reid did for quite some time.

“I didn’t get out much – if I had gotten out more and done as much rafting on the Green River as I’d like to do and poked around the towns, then people would be mad at me because the book wouldn’t be finished,” he said. “So I think we were rather quiet neighbors.”

Reid now considers himself a “Polk County local.”

“I come downtown to Tryon because that is the closest and I love the coffee shop down the street - Bill and the folks there. I’m very proud to be able to go to the Book Shelf to do a signing or to Lanier Library. This is my home,” Reid said. Reid is set to sign copies of “The Last Lion” at The Book Shelf in Tryon Thursday, Dec. 13 at 5 p.m.

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.

tHe reverend dr. miCHaeL doty, reCtortHe episCopaL CHurCH of

tHe HoLy Cross

They are here! On Dec. 3 at 9:23 p.m. and 9:31 p.m. William Andrew Doty and Jacob Patrick Doty, weighing in at 5 pounds 1 ounce and 5 pounds 14 ounces, respectively, came into the world full-term, healthy and whole.

Thanks be to God for his bless-ings and for all your prayers and good wishes for Isaac, Christy, the babes, and grandad and grandma. The twins spent only two nights in the hospital before being cer-tified as fit to go home and so they are now safely ensconced in their shared crib while Eddie the pit bull and Maeb the border collie lie close checking on their every whimper. Eddie has al-ready learned to cry on pitch with Andrew.

Sitting and waiting for news on the induced delivery process from 6 a.m. until 9:35 p.m. was a new adventure in prayer and reflection for me. Even though I do that sort of thing all the time as a pas-tor, when it involved family, and especially grandchildren, I found

my heart and mind being pushed and pulled, rattled and thrashed in ways I have never experienced. I was much more “together,” I think, when Isaac was born 28 years ago – but then I was right there with Pam the whole time and not cooling my heels in a chair created by the Marqui deSade School of Furniture Design.

The hospital in Cleveland, Tenn. is a baby hospital. The com-munity is young and the delivery room, nursery and pediatrics area are right off the main lobby where the public can see the new babies lined up in neat rows at the view-ing window. During our long vigil I counted six new babies being wheeled along by doting fathers from the delivery room, through the waiting room and into the nurs-ery. Eight new lives entered the world that day from four different races and ethnic backgrounds, and we all oohed and aahed over every one of them as the proud new dads

stopped to let us see the miracle of new life.

I have been told repeatedly that life will never be the same again and I am now absolutely sure that will be true. As we have Skyped and talked each evening since I came home I have seen my own son go from being just my boy to being a father to his own boys. It has been quite pleasant to watch Christy and him take on the challenges of parenting with confidence, enthusiasm and ab-solute love for those boys. I have definitely become the grandad.

We are now in the second week of Advent and the births of Andrew and Patrick remind me that just as our family sat in that waiting room eagerly anticipating God’s gift of new life and new beginnings for our family in the twins, we as a people are eagerly anticipating and waiting for the coming of the Christ child on Dec. 25. Even though we are over two millen-nia removed from that event our

hearts, minds and souls eagerly yearn for the promise his birth brought and continues to bring – a hope for joy, peace, new begin-nings, freshness of being, and the realization that God does love us completely and thoroughly as any good parent does their own child, but even moreso. That love is so great that no sacrifice is too large, too great, too much to insure we know God’s love is always present with us available to us.

• Blessings(continued from page 8)

(continued on page 9)

So we watch and we wait, we pace and pray, we wrestle with our personal demons, and we watch for the stable door to open as the manger emerges filled with a babe tightly bundled in swaddling and looking up at us in love. It was a great feeling on Dec. 3, and it will be just as wonderful on Dec. 25.

- The Reverend Dr. Michael Doty, Rector

The Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross

They are here! On Dec. 3 at 9:23 p.m. and 9:31 p.m. William Andrew Doty and Jacob Patrick Doty, weighing in at 5 pounds 1 ounce and 5 pounds 14 ounces, respectively, came into the world full-term, healthy and whole.

Thanks be to God for his bless-ings and for all your prayers and good wishes for Isaac, Christy, the babes, and grandad and grandma. The twins spent only two nights in the hospital before being cer-tified as fit to go home and so they are now safely ensconced in their shared crib while Eddie the pit bull and Maeb the border collie lie close checking on their every whimper. Eddie has al-ready learned to cry on pitch with Andrew.

Sitting and waiting for news on the induced delivery process from 6 a.m. until 9:35 p.m. was a new adventure in prayer and reflection for me. Even though I do that sort of thing all the time as a pas-tor, when it involved family, and especially grandchildren, I found

my heart and mind being pushed and pulled, rattled and thrashed in ways I have never experienced. I was much more “together,” I think, when Isaac was born 28 years ago – but then I was right there with Pam the whole time and not cooling my heels in a chair created by the Marqui deSade School of Furniture Design.

The hospital in Cleveland, Tenn. is a baby hospital. The com-munity is young and the delivery room, nursery and pediatrics area are right off the main lobby where the public can see the new babies lined up in neat rows at the view-ing window. During our long vigil I counted six new babies being wheeled along by doting fathers from the delivery room, through the waiting room and into the nurs-ery. Eight new lives entered the world that day from four different races and ethnic backgrounds, and we all oohed and aahed over every one of them as the proud new dads

stopped to let us see the miracle of new life.

I have been told repeatedly that life will never be the same again and I am now absolutely sure that will be true. As we have Skyped and talked each evening since I came home I have seen my own son go from being just my boy to being a father to his own boys. It has been quite pleasant to watch Christy and him take on the challenges of parenting with confidence, enthusiasm and ab-solute love for those boys. I have definitely become the grandad.

We are now in the second week of Advent and the births of Andrew and Patrick remind me that just as our family sat in that waiting room eagerly anticipating God’s gift of new life and new beginnings for our family in the twins, we as a people are eagerly anticipating and waiting for the coming of the Christ child on Dec. 25. Even though we are over two millen-nia removed from that event our

hearts, minds and souls eagerly yearn for the promise his birth brought and continues to bring – a hope for joy, peace, new begin-nings, freshness of being, and the realization that God does love us completely and thoroughly as any good parent does their own child, but even moreso. That love is so great that no sacrifice is too large, too great, too much to insure we know God’s love is always present with us available to us.

• Blessings(continued from page 8)

(continued on page 9)

So we watch and we wait, we pace and pray, we wrestle with our personal demons, and we watch for the stable door to open as the manger emerges filled with a babe tightly bundled in swaddling and looking up at us in love. It was a great feeling on Dec. 3, and it will be just as wonderful on Dec. 25.

- The Reverend Dr. Michael Doty, Rector

The Episcopal Church of the Holy Cross

The Upstairs Artspace invites all photographers – from amateurs to seasoned professionals – to submit images to be included in the gallery’s opening 2013 exhibit, “Upload: The Art of the Digital Camera Phone.” All photos must be submitted by Dec. 31. The show will open on Jan. 18 – an opening reception on Jan. 19 – and run until March 2.

Upload is the first show of its kind in the region, offering photographers at all levels of experience an opportunity to explore the artistic possibilities of this new and fast-developing technology.

“Smartphones and image-editing apps have really leveled the playing field,” said Chris Tinkler, who is curating Upload. “You don’t have to walk around with a high-end camera. You just pull out your phone and capture a moment, and then you can manipulate your images with nothing but your phone. No darkroom; no computer.”

The exhibit will have two

parts – an open show to be displayed in the Upstairs’ main, street-level gallery, and a juried show that will be housed in the small-works gallery inside the front window.

Anyone can submit one image for inclusion in the open show. Participants in the juried show will pay a $20 fee, and can send in three images. One winner chosen in the juried show will receive a $250 prize.

“By opening up the gallery’s walls to everyone, Upload will show how camera phones and apps have really democratized photography,” Tinkler said.

For more information about the show or the process for submitting entries, visit the ga l le ry’s webs i te a t www.upstairsartspace.org, or call 828-859-0135 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. Questions and entries can also be emailed to [email protected].

Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis presents an award from the Polk County Fire Chief’s Association during a retirement party for Columbus Fire Chief Geoff Tennant.

the position since 1982. He has served as firefighter for 35 years and retired as an educator after 30 years of service. Tennant is currently the chair of the Polk County School Board.

Tennant joined the Colum-bus Fire Department in the mid-1970s. Then, the depart-ment consisted of a small all-volunteer force and a couple of fire trucks. Today, the depart-ment has one paid firefighter and 28 active volunteers in addition to junior members and several associate members who also belong to neighboring departments.

“I don’t think you can under-stand how much the people in this room mean to me,” Tennant told those in attendance.

Tennant was lured to Tryon Estates that evening by a fire alarm activation at the retire-ment community in Columbus. The fire alarm call was nothing new to Tennant, but soon after entering the room, Tennant re-alized the setup as he was met with a standing ovation.

“It was the only way we could get him here,” said Co-lumbus Deputy Fire Chief Bobby Arledge. “If we told him we were having a retirement party, he wouldn’t have shown

up. If it’s a fire call, we know he’s coming.”

Arledge will take over the chief position at the beginning of the year.

Tennant was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, along with several other presen-tations from many of the service agencies Tennant has worked closely with over the years. Those in attendance included all Polk County emergency service and law enforcement agencies, mutual aid fire depart-ments and Regional One.

“The opportunity to work with him in so many roles has been incredible,” said Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. “He has been a colleague, my fire chief and most importantly, my friend.”

Davis served as the Polk County Fire Marshal and later as deputy chief at the Columbus Fire Department before taking the Tryon fire chief position.

Tennant expressed surprise when presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine award, which has also been awarded to Bob Timberlake, Charles Kuralt and fellow University of North Carolina Alumnus, Mi-chael Jordan. The Order of the Long Leaf Pine is presented to individuals who have a proven

Did you ever wonder how many lives would be changed for the better if more children, who often need guidance, actually had a mentor?

The goal of Big Brothers Big Sisters is to provide more screened and trained adult volun-teers to match with area children. None of this can be done without the community support. People must be willing to volunteer to help or to donate.

Caring adults who volunteer to spend time with a child twice a month, or one hour weekly in the school-based program, are the basis of Big Brothers Big Sisters. Without these wonderful volun-

teer “Bigs” there would be no mentoring taking place through the BBBS programs.

Secondly, financial support from the community is vital. BBBS receives no government funding for mentoring servic-es. The majority of funding is provided through fund-raising events, grants and the generosity of donors.

Each year Big Brothers Big Sisters and other local nonprofits must hold their hands out to area citizens asking for contributions.

This year, any donations of $100 or more received by Dec.

Little Sister Hai’lee, Big Brother Bob Montgomery and his Little Brother Don’tae gleaned apples from a Henderson County orchard this fall to donate to Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry. These children are fortunate to be matched with volunteer Bigs who are helping instill the positive values of giving back to your community. (photo by Big Sister Lynn Montgomery)

BBBS donations receive foundation match by Dec. 15

Bereavement Care

Resources for help with loss and grief

15 will be matched with a gift to the Big Brothers Big Sisters en-dowment fund at the Polk County Community Foundation.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is consistently ranked high for charitable giving: five-star by Great Nonprofits, A+ from the American Institute of Philan-thropy, and No. 1 in serving at-risk youth by Philanthropedia, The Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance states that BBBS meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Littles and Bigs do simple things together like going hiking, baking cookies, seeing a play, visiting a museum, going to the library, reading or doing school work. How does having a caring adult in their lives benefit a child?

They are more self-confident,

are less likely to begin using drugs and alcohol, have im-proved behavior and relation-ships, their grades improve and their life skills are enhanced. A strong mentoring relationship helps empower children to suc-ceed, putting them on a path to a brighter future.

Now is the perfect time to consider making a year-end tax-deductible contribution. A dona-tion can help make and maintain matches with Bigs and Littles, to positively impact the lives of children in our community. Big Brothers Big Sisters is sustained by those who volunteer and do-nate to make such a difference.

Donations may be sent to BBBS, 301 N Trade St., Tryon, NC 28782. For more information, please contact BBBS at or 828-859-9230.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. at 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 16. Reverend Jean Rowe wil l speak on the topic, “What Gift Can We Bring? A Solstice Cel-ebration.”

The frenzy that was Black Friday this year – in prepara-tion for the upcoming holy days – was amazingly un-holy. William Wordsworth, the English poet, laments this behavior:

“The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!”

What gift can we bring to this season? What present, what token?

Perhaps it is the gift of pres-ence, not presents. Gifts of the season are meant to convey thanks and delight; they are

not meant to impress. Gifts of the season are meant to reflect the person of the giver, his or her presence.

For this service of light and dark, and the simple birth of hope in a troubled world, you are invited to bring a wrapped re-gift.

A small something that has meaning for you that you can gift to another. And we will celebrate what gifts we bring to the wider world through our presence in it.”

This service, the last of this year, will also include a potluck lunch. Members of the board will provide the main dishes. Participants are asked to bring a vegetable dish, salad or dessert. Please provide your own silverware, plate and cup.

For information, call 894-5776 or go to our website at uutryonnc.org.

For two beautiful, quiet hours in the midst of the Christmas bustle each year, the Godshaw Hill neighborhood surrounding Tryon United Methodist Church experiences a living portrayal of

The weather should be considerably warmer this year when Tryon United Methodist church offers its annual Living Nativity from 5-7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 15. (photo submitted)

Live nativity at Tryon United Methodistthe holy event that has been the subject of art, music and worship for the past 2,000 years.

The church will offer the live nativity again this year on Saturday, Dec. 15, from 5-7 p.m.

Everyone is invited to drive up New Market Road and linger for a bit. On this good night, neighborhood has no boundaries.

At the Polk Baptist Associa-tion (PBA) “Care Kitchen” not all the cooks are ladies. Several men help by preparing delicious dishes.

One such cook is Larry Sain who can beat out the lady cooks every time with his top-of-the-stove Chocolate Oatmeal Cook-ies. Sain is very specific when sharing his recipe because for perfect results, these instructions and his secrets must be followed:

CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

*Always a hit at PBA Care Kitchen

2 cups sugar3 Tablespoons cocoa½ cup milk

1 stick Blue Bonnet margarine (regular, not whipped) and only that brand

Directions:Mix these ingredients in a

sauce pan and boil for exactly 1-1/2 minutes (no more, no less after boiling begins - careful not to scorch)

Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring and ½ cup peanut butter. Stir until peanut butter is blended in. Add 3-1/2 cups dry oatmeal. Mix well and spoon onto wax paper. (Have wax paper ready before starting) Prepare only 1 batch at the time. Makes 24 to 28 cookies.

The Care Kitchen is grateful for all volunteers and donations.

At the present time they are be-ing blessed with the collection of non-perishable food and paper products by

Mountain First Bank and the Polk County Recycling efforts. These kind-hearted people de-livered many items this week and will continue collecting in boxes at their locations.

Coats and sweaters are be-ing accepted and distributed to those in need at the Care Kitchen location at 208 Blanton Street, Columbus, in the lower level of PBA.

Meals are served from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. every Friday.

All are welcome.– article submitted
