home). Here at the Laurel, were know were blessed to be a

Mountain Tennis Challenge
by Luke Osteen | Photo by Sarah Valentine
International tennis stars Andy Roddick and Jim Courier return to the Cedar Creek Racquet Club in Cashiers on Saturday, July 26,
for the second annual Mountain Challenge. Theres also an exclusive Summer Soiree set for the night before.
Love means a lot of things. In tennis it means a well-

played match between two ferce competitors.
In Cashiers, it means staging a tennis tournament fea-
turing former number one tennis stars Jim Courier and Andy
Roddick to beneft the new Boys and Girls Club of the Plateau.
The event was so successful in 2013 that this years ticket sales
and venue space have more than doubled in size.
On Saturday, July 26, Roddick and Courier return to bring star
power to the Cedar Creek Racquet Club in Cashiers for Andy
Roddicks Mountain Challenge.
Mountain Challenge fund-raising activities begin on Friday
evening, July 25, with the Summer Soiree. Guests will enjoy
cocktails at a Cirque de Soiree Mountain Street Party, followed
by dinner, a live auction, and entertainment by two Grammy-
winning bands, The Carolina Chocolate Drops and the Steep
Canyon Rangers.
Thousands of area residents and visitors are expected to
attend numerous Mountain Challenge activities, including not
only the Roddick/Courier center court challenge, but also pre-
liminary matches for North Carolinas best amateur tennis play-
ers. Winners will tackle the pros in a best two out of three set
match. There is a VIP breakfast for those holding special tickets.
By opening a Boys and Girls Club, we hope to provide many
of the extracurricular activities available in large cities to the
children of our rural community for a nominal membership
fee, says Boys and Girls Club board member Cheryl Benitez.
Making these activities available to our own kids will level the
playing feld by providing opportunities for them to discover
their own gifts and abilities, thus making it possible for them to
continue in higher education.
You can buy tickets for the July 25 Friday Night Soiree and
Saturday, July 26, tennis at cashiers.com. General admission
parking tickets are sold separately and shuttles run all day.
Bring your friends and family to a full day of festivities.

Spanning two days, Friday and Saturday July 11 and 12, sthe Cashiers Church of the Good Shepherds Annual Auctions and Bazaar has earned
a cherished place on the communitys social calendar.
M
iracles happen every day at Fishes and Loaves.
In 2005, the founders of Fishes and Loaves had a di-
vine idea. They were astounded to learn that one in
six people in Jackson County are below the poverty line, which
means a lot of families go without food.
So, a holy host of volunteers from several area churches and
organizations got together to tackle the hunger problem and
the results were soul-and-body satisfying. In the nine years
since, the group has seen to it that the dietary needs of many of
Jackson Countys hungry have been met. Last year, 2,191 house-
holds, for a total of 6,815 people, received 3,186 boxes of food.
A box contains three cans each of vegetables, meat, and fruit,
two cans of soup, dried beans, rice, spaghetti, spaghetti sauce,
mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and peanut butter. Special
boxes are prepared for Thanksgiving and Christmas distribution.
Recipients are provided food as often as twice a month.
In the winter, the Rotary Club of Cashiers teams up with Fish-
es and Loaves to provide free outerwear to the needy during the
colder months.
Fishes and Loaves has two major fundraisers each year: The
Big Ol Mountain Country Breakfast, which will be held Satur-
day, July 5, from 7:00 to 11:00 A.M. at the Cashiers Community
Center, and The Empty Bowls Soup Luncheon is scheduled for
Sunday, October 5, from 11:30 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. at the Zachary-
Tolbert House Pavilion.
For more information about volunteering, donating, or re-
ceiving, contact Carole Stork at (828) 743-3222. Filling an empty
bowl flls two hearts: the one who hungersand yours.

H
ighlands Mountaintop Rotary and the Special Operations
Adventure Race are holding a beneft golf tournament
at Foundation, 10:00 A.M. Monday, August 4, at Sky Val-
ley Country Club in Sky Valley, Georgia. Cost is $150 per person.
For more information, contact Bill Zoellner at (888) 489-2323 or
(828) 787-2323.
Proceeds will support local charities and the Special Opera-
tions Warrior Foundation.
In 1980, the aborted rescue attempt of the Iranian hostages
brought the heroism of Americas special forces warriors to
light, having lost eight members of the newly established Delta
Force in that mission.
Concerned citizens established a support system, the Spe-
cial Operations Warrior Foundation, for the families of all special
ops soldiers who die in the line of duty. The foundation is a top-
rated nonproft organization that supports the militarys special
operations forces and their families through three programs:
college scholarships for the surviving children of fallen Special
Operations Forces, family services, including educational and
family counseling, and advocacy support, and Wounded Special
Operations Forces Support, including immediate fnancial sti-
pends of $3,000.
In Highlands and Cashiers, supporters have created a lo-
cal chapter, the Special Operations adventure Race. Over the
years, an annual adventure race and events like the Sky Valley
golf tournament have raised over $550,000 for the Foundation.
Thanks to participants, sponsors, volunteers, and generous
benefactors SOAR has risen to the occasion every year giving
many young people the support they need to make it through
difcult emotional and fnancial times. A college education is
the legacy a fallen soldier can still give his or her child, even if
he/she is not there to see it.

Saturdays Divine on Pine
T
he Highlands Chamber of Commerce, Kay and Thomas
Craig of The Ugly Dog Pub, and many generous sponsors
have some red-hot Saturday evening performances lined
up for you at the Saturdays on Pine concert series.
Concerts begin at 6:00 P.M. and are held at The Kelsey-
Hutchinson Park on Pine Street in Highlands. Whether its
jazz, country, blue grass, or rock and roll, Saturdays on Pine
will present some of the finest bands the region has to offer!
Shane Bridges kicks off the concert series on July 4 and 5.
Shane was given his first guitar at age 14 and by the age of
18 had made a career of singing and songwriting. His influ-
ences range from Merle Haggard to Tom Petty, and his tour-
ing band consists of professional, seasoned musicians and
writers. His music can be heard on such popular TV shows as
The Hill and The Real World.
The Hobohemians from Athens, Georgia, will be on stage
July 12. This six-piece band plays original and popular music
from the 1920s and 30s -- music that emanated from coun-
try roads and juke joints and includes a broad selection of
Americana from George Gershwin to Cab Calloway.
Next up is Tellico from Asheville, North Carolina, slated for
July 19. Well-known for their rootsy singing and vocal harmo-
ny, as well as the hard-edge nostalgic-yet-modern themes of
their songwriting, this quartet combines some of the finest
voices, songs, and instrumental prowess in Western North
Carolina and beyond.
Homemade Wine brings their brand of Southern Rock
to the park on July 26. These guys have fermented, cured,
blended, and seasoned their sound into a 150-proof explo-
sion that has spread their blend of jam-infused Southern
Rock from the Florida Keys to the Pacific Northwest where
theyve hit practically every roadhouse, club, festival, and
music venue in between.
In August youll hear The Lonesome Road Band, Hi 5, Man-
gas Colorado, Copious Jones and Tea for Three.
Kay and Thomas hope that the Saturdays on Pine bring you
out to enjoy old friends, new friends, or soon-to-be-friends
every Saturday evening all summer long. Be sure to enjoy
the shops, have a bite to eat, or bring a picnic and come out
for great music in Highlands! For more information about
Saturdays on Pine, contact the Highlands Chamber of Com-
merce and Visitor Center at (828) 526- 2112.

W
hats July 4th without freworks?
The Village Green is proud to provide this sum-
mers colossal freworks display for the Cashiers area
community. The Village Green will partner with the Greater Ca-
shiers Merchants Association to create a spectacular evening of
entertainment for residents and visitors to enjoy as part of the
Independence Day celebration.
The Fireworks Extravaganza On the Green will begin at 6:30
P.M. Friday, July 4, at The Village Green Commons on Frank Al-
len Road. The festivities include a live concert by The Extraor-
dinaires, a rhythm and blues band featuring kicking horns and
smooth vocals that will have people dancing on the lawn.
The crowning moment of the night will be the magnifcent
freworks show.
Come to The Village Green and watch the rockets red glare,
and every other color in the rainbow, said Village Green Ex-
ecutive Director Ann Self. This years show has twice as many
pyrotechnics with more than 1,000 colorful salutes, crowns and
brilliant bursts to light up the mountain night sky.
Many small towns and communities have cut or drastically
reduced freworks displays in recent years because of fnancial
constraints. The Village Green stepped up to ensure this would
not be the case in Cashiers.
The Village Green is delighted to preserve another treasured
tradition for our community, and we hope that this will be the
best part of the holiday weekend for people here in the area,
said Jochen Lucke, Chairperson of the Village Green Board
of Directors.
To safeguard future and even more amazing freworks for Ca-
shiers, The Village Green is establishing a Fireworks Fund.
Event-goers will have the opportunity to make contributions
at preferred parking locations as well as the entrances to The
Village Green Commons, said Self. We hope this grassroots
efort will foster the spirit of community.
The Village Green is a 12.5-acre park that was created to pre-
serve the legacy of the bucolic mountain lifestyle. The Village
Green is the beautiful, green heart for public use but relies on
private funding to provide this exceptional venue for everyone
to enjoy.
Events like the freworks extravaganza would not be pos-
sible without the generous support of our donors, Self said.

Browns not sure how her professional career might have
turned out.
But because she was able to earn her two-year degree from
Southwestern in 1981, shes now in her 29th year as a paralegal with
Coward, Hicks and Siler, Public Attorneys.
SCC gives people who grow up in this area an opportunity,
Brown said. If SCC hadnt been there, Im not sure I could have
done this..
In order to make a college education accessible to more area
residents like Brown, the SCC Foundation is hosting Wine & Dine
Under the Stars Gala at 6:00 P.M. on July 19 at the Village Green
Commons in Cashiers. All proceeds will go toward helping establish
the Student Success Endowment.
Through the communitys generosity and a federal challenge
grant that matches every dollar (up to $300,000) raised by Sep-
tember 1, the Student Success Campaign aims to raise more
than $1 million to help bridge the gap between scholarship need
and availability.
You dont realize just how much SCC touches Cashiers-High-
lands lives every day, said Cashiers businessman Jim Zoller, chair-
man of the SCC Foundation. Emergency response from the Fire
Department, Rescue Squad, EMS and police all these folks are
trained at SCC. Thats also the case for nurses, your hairdresser,
cosmetologist, realtor, heating and air professional, auto mechanic
and so many more.
SCC graduates touch our lives every day, Zoller added. With-
out them, Cashiers would not be the same friendly village it is. This
fundraising event is to provide more scholarships to help our stu-
dents aford to attend SCC and continue to provide the services we
depend on to maintain our quality of life.
SCC Foundation Director Mary Otto Selzer added, Ninety per-
cent of our students stay and work in our area. They are active and
productive members of our community. Our students have big
dreams. Some just need a bit of fnancial assistance to achieve their
dreams. Thats why its so important to support this event that will
provide additional money for scholarships.

Atcheson Concert
for Literacy
M
adeline and Fred Knox have joined forces with The Literacy
Council of Highlands to bring world-renowned musician Randall
Atcheson back to Highlands.
Join your friends at the Highlands Playhouse from 4:00 to 6:00 P.M.
Saturday, August 30, to hear Randall as he shares his immense talent at
the keyboard.
As a former frst grade school teacher, children are especially dear to
Madeline. She tells all of her friends about her mustard seed theory --
how even the small things in life can make a huge diference -- and urges
them to take action, too.
Helping a child to read may seem small, but it will greatly impact
their lives in unbelievable ways, Madeline says. A person who reads
well can take advantage of limitless opportunities. Randall inspires me
and I hope he will inspire you.
Children are as important to Randall as they are to Madeline. He
teaches up to 70 youngsters a week. Growing up in Clanton, Alabama,
the son of a Baptist Minister, he feels especially blessed with his musi-
cal talents. Now he works diligently to share those talents with people
across the globe. This Julliard School graduate does that through his
many concerts and his recordings. If you have seen Randall, you know
he is at home with music of all types -- classical, gospel, and pop. He
is such a showman that the audience remains enthralled throughout
the concert.
This is a concert you wont want to miss. General admission tickets
are available for $50 per person by calling (828) 526-2695. The Cham-
pagne Reception begins at 3:00 P.M., the concert at 4:00 P.M. If you
cant make the concert, a donation to the Literacy Council is always ap-
preciated. Visit their website at literacycouncilofighlands.org or mail
a check to Literacy Council of Highlands, 348 South Fifth Street, High-
lands, NC 28741.
Patrons will enjoy a special treat at the Knox home on Friday evening
as they enjoy an intimate dinner with Randall. There is very limited seat-
ing for this event so call early at (828) 526-0863 for tickets and pricing.
We are so excited that Randall Atcheson is coming back to High-
lands to perform for the beneft of our organization and are grateful to
Madeline and Fred Knox for making that happen, says Literacy Council
President Dick Hills. A hearty thank you to our friends at the Highlands
Playhouse for the donation of their facility for this event. For Laurel
readers who dont know about the Literacy Council, we help folks learn
to read, or to read better. We tutor struggling students, we help young
people prepare for GED exams, we teach English as a Second Language,
and much more. The funds we hope to receive from the Atcheson con-
cert and those we receive from our longtime supporters are what make
it possible for us to continue our mission. Dont miss Randall Atcheson.

The Best of Controlled Chaos
Y
ou dont need to be a member of the Hollywood elite to
see works by the newest up-and-coming visionaries in the
flm industry.
On Sunday, August 17, you are invited to attend Western
Carolina Universitys Best of Controlled Chaos Film Festival at
the Country Club of Sapphire Valley.
WCUs Film and Television Production Program has held the
Controlled Chaos Film Festival on campus for six years. This
juried showcase features flms written, directed, flmed, pro-
duced, scored and acted entirely by WCU flm students as class
assignments during the academic year. Susan Belcher, wife
of WCU Chancellor David Belcher and co-chair of the festival
committee, says they are thrilled to be able to open it to the
wider community.
Adair Simon, a Cashiers resident and member of the WCU
Friends of the Arts Advisory Council, serves as co-chair for the
event, with Mountain Youth Charities Director Marcia Shawler
on board as honorary chair. A number of people in the sur-
rounding areas agreed to form the screening committee for the
Cashiers event. The ofcial flm festival was held on campus May
2. In June, the screening committee then chose approximately
75-80 minutes worth of flms for the Best of WCUs Controlled
Chaos Film Festival.
Headed by Emmy Award-winning and Oscar nominated-
director Jack Sholder, the Film and Television Production Pro-
gram has received recognition over the years. At last years

the 2013 Controlled Chaos Film Festival, WCU was one of only a
few colleges in the nation to be given by Sony a state-of-the-art
high resolution camera valued at nearly $100,000. Obviously,
this is an expensive program and one that needs support from
flm lovers, art lovers and those who simply enjoy being enter-
tained. All festival proceeds will beneft the Film and Television
Production Program at WCU.
Ticket prices are $75 and will include a reception with bev-
erages and heavy hors doeuvres at 6:00 P.M. Students and

invited the public to walk the garden paths and admire
the beauty of hundreds of fowers, vegetables, and native plants
on their 38-acre property on two Saturdays in July -- July 19 and

Marge and John Jacobs and family, who bought the property in
1946.
One highlight of the gardens is the vegetable garden, which is
carefully tended by Tom. Here he grows many kinds of fruits, vege-
tables, and berries. Tom says he often plants more than enough for
the family, neighbors, and friends. Bears and other wildlife roam
the property on occasion and have been known to partake, even
though the vegetable garden is protected by a fence.
Janes gardens are flled with native shrubs and fowers. The
fowering shrubs emphasize her love for these mountains and na-
ture in general. Original yard art is tucked into nooks and crannies
throughout the gardens A trail leading to Salt Creek can be tra-
versed easily and guests are welcome to walk through the natural
woodlands.

THE ARTS
The Art of Charles Johnson
by Luke Osteen
I
ts easy to get lost in Charles Johnsons beguiling photographs
on display at Mountain Mist Gallery in Cashiers.
Johnson has taken his cameras to spots just a little bit of
the beaten path in Highlands and Cashiers, and its made all the
diference.
Cascading mountain streams are veiled in streamers of white.
Shy mountain laurel blossoms are laden with dewdrops. A shad-
owed trail in the deep forest promises both mystery and revela-
tion. A bed of hostas, those most disposable of woodland ground-
covers, is shown in all of its emerald majesty.
All of Johnsons works scintillate with this sense of richness, of
life and texture and transcendence. If Ralph Waldo Emerson had
been handed a camera 150 years ago, he would have produced
something like this.
Part of Johnsons formula is a craftsmans mastery of his tools.
Armed with a Master of Photography Degree from the Profes-
sional Photographers of America, he began honing his landscape
photography skills, garnering awards through professional print
competitions and delivering lectures to other pros.
A photo fnishing lab he opened in Charlotte earned a national
reputation for its extraordinary attention to detail. In fact, Ernest
Brooks of the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara
proclaimed that the lab was the best of the best.
But all of that technical expertise wouldnt have produced the
masterpieces on the walls of Morning Mist Gallery. The other part
of the equation comes from inside Johnson himself.
My photographic adventure began as an 18-year-old seeking
advice from my father on what career choice I should make, he
says. He simply said follow your passion in whatever you do and
you will be successful.
That advice spoke to something that was already percolating
in Johnsons mind a passion for science mixed with art, in es-
sence the recipe for a nature photographer.
This understanding of the alchemy between light and a pho-
to-sensitive surface (or, in this digital age, between an electrical
charge and a pixel), combined with an artists refexive feel for
the tension between concealment and revelation, has given us
those works in Cashiers.
The teenage photographer who roamed the peaks and valleys
of Boone, North Carolina, found himself capturing the natural
treasures of Hawaii and Nova Scotia and the Canadian Rockies.
Lately, hes been transfxed by the beauty of Cashiers and High-
lands.
For over 30 years, I have enjoyed a passion of the photo-
graphic process through serving the public and developing my
own style of image making, Johnson says. In producing work
for clients, I have continue to live by Ansel Adams famous anal-
ogy, The negative is the score and the print is the performance.
As I have photographed the landscape over the years this quote
has always resonated with me and now can be updated to, The
digital fle is the score and the print is the performance
Over the years, his work has found itself in anonymous pri-
vate collections and the corporate collections of IBM, AT&T, PYA
Monarch, Premarabank, and Carolina Premier Bank. Weve tried
to capture the magic of Johnsons work here in Laurel, but you
really have to see it up close at Mountain Mist Gallery.

Those Kooky Chickens
T
im and Karen Chambers love what they do, and it shows.
Over the past 15 years they have developed a successful
business creating and selling Those Kooky Chickens
folk art.
Karen started painting years ago, giving her works to friends
and family as gifts and they encouraged her to share her vision
with others. Tim had been working with wood for years, and
created a specialty screen door business in Highlands. Combin-
ing their skills and vision, Those Kooky Chickens folk art began.
It starts with gourds, recycled wood, and screen from Tims
screen doors. He is responsible for all wood work including the
legs and bases, ensuring that they are stable Karen does the
rest. Its her vision and colorful painting that bring Those Kooky
Chickens to life.
Working with over 500 gourds a year is a time consuming task
involving lots of hands-on prep work, but its the gourds that
lead the way. Karen says she looks to the gourd to tell her what
to paint. The shapes vary so widely that every piece is one of a
kind, and theyre not all chickens.
When starting out, Tim and Karen were making bears and oth-
er animals but quickly realized the gourds truly lent themselves
to birdsAnd who doesnt love a whimsical chicken? But you
can also spot famingos, owls, and the occasional duck in their
nest, too.
Those Kooky Chickens is not just limited to gourd art. They
also create framed recycled screen paintings as well as whimsical
folk art paintings on recycled and reclaimed wood, and of course
the frames are built by Tim. All pieces are hand-created using
natural materials, wood and gourds, and are painted with acrylic
paints. They have even created a chicken photo bomb screen
painting that is absolutely hysterical. The Chambers say their art
is particularly appealing to young boys, and even had one young-
ster capture a chick and take of, much to his parents chagrin.
The Chambers travel almost every weekend selling Those
Kooky Chickens at art festivals throughout the Southeast.
Theyve won numerous awards for their work and have sold to
customers around the world including France, England, Austra-
lia, and South Korea. How those chickens love to fy! Customers
cant wait for them to come back to town so they can add to
their collection or even purchase a starter chicken.
Karen and Tims folk art is so popular theyve opened an on-
line store at Etsy.com: thosekookychickens.etsy.com.
To follow Those Kooky Chickens, visit their website at
thosekookychickens.com. And locally their works can be seen
at Smitten, 10 Foreman Road, in Highlands, (828)526-9300. At-

The Bascom Blooms
I
n the early 1940s, residents and visitors of Highlands were in-
vited to attend the frst annual Highlands Flower Show ben-
efting the Highlands Museum and Biological Laboratory.
The premise was simple: entrants submitted fowers and fo-
liage of the mountain gardens and wildwood and were judged
and awarded ribbons. Ladies wearing hats and gentlemen in
suits and ties enjoyed an afternoon admiring the fora and fau-
na of the plateau.
Some 70 years later, we once again honor this great tradi-
tion with the 2014 Flower Show, an integral part of the Moun-
tains in Bloom Home & Garden Festival benefting The Bascom.
Working with the theme The Private Edens of Highlands and
art from the current exhibitions, this highly anticipated event
includes a three-day garden festival and several themed Floral
and Horticulture classes to entice you.
This year, in an efort to allow both the novice and the ex-
pert to celebrate the art of fower arranging, we will be ofer-
ing classes that are both juried and non-juried. The juried class-
es will be judged by judges schooled in their feld of expertise,
and winners from the non-juried classes selected by the public
and awarded the Peoples Choice Award.
Flower arrangements and photography entries will be show-
cased throughout the art centers early 1800s hand-hewed
post and beam barn. The Dave Drake Studio Barn will be home
to juried horticulture entries, and non-juried entries will be dis-
played along the campus pathways. Special awards will be giv-
en for Best in Show in both the Flower Arrangement Division
and the Horticulture Division, and The Balentine Award for the
most outstanding display of a native plant that is indigenous to
the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.

This Season at The Playhouse
by Luke Osteen
R
esidents and visitors of Highlands will be hard pressed to
fnd excuses to stay at home in the evenings this summer
if the Highlands Playhouse has anything to say about it.
After last seasons record breaking attendance, the Play-
house has expanded their oferings to include their traditional
six show live theater schedule, in addition to fve airings per
week of an early run flm.
The Highlands Playhouses mission is to serve the people of
Highlands, Artistic Director Bill Patti said, Adding an ambitious
movie schedule to our incredible live theater performances will
give the Highlands community the best of both worlds.
Even as the professional actors and technicians from around
the country were preparing for the premiere of Little Shop of
Horrors on June 12, the movie theater was showing the Disney
blockbuster Malefcent.
Nobody is doing this, anywhere, says Patti. We are pro-
ducing professional theater and running blockbuster summer
flms. It borders on insanity.
The second show of the season is the Stephen Schwartz gem,
Pippin, currently enjoying a successful revival on Broadway.
The production, which may not be suitable for audience mem-
bers under 13, runs from July 3-20.
The fnal major musical of the season is 9 to 5, which runs
July 24 through August 16. Theater productions will be per-
formed Tuesdays-Saturdays at 8:00 P.M. and Sundays at 2:00
P.M. Movies will air during the dark times, Sundays at 5:30
P.M. and 8:00 P.M. and Mondays at 1:00 P.M., 4:00 P.M., and
7:00 P.M.
Our long time theater patrons were worried that the movies
would cut into our traditional productions, and our new movie
bufs were worried that we wouldnt be showing flms during
the summer. We are excited to accommodate both groups!
Managing Director Tammy Hernandez says.
There will be no movies July 20 and 21.
Those are our changeover weekends, where we have to
change the sets from one theatre production to the next, so we
had to go fully dark those days, Hernandez says.
Tickets for any of these wonderful productions and block-
buster hits can be purchased by visiting the Highlands Play-
house Box Ofce or by calling (828) 526-2695. Visit highland-
splayhouse.org for more information about the plays or to see a
list of upcoming movies.
Highlands Playhouses showings of blockbuster early-run movies wont detract from its commitment to professional theatre.

H
ighlands artist Rosemary Clark Stiefel has long
been inspired by shapes and forms found in na-
ture, from enlarged microscopic images to over-
sized botanicals, seedpods, birds nests, and eggs.
Geometry, patterns, and textiles particularly the
process of weaving are also a driving force in her
aesthetic. A natural extension of her work is textile de-
sign, and she has experimented with this medium over
the years as well, designing needlepoint and jacquard
rugs and silk scarves.
Over the last year, Stiefel has produced a new series
of paintings and works on paper based on the themes
that have long inspired her work. These works consti-
tute the summer show Rosemary Stiefel: New Work
and will be available at Chivaree Southern Art & Design
in Cashiers starting this month.
Stiefel was one of the founding artists of Atlantas
prestigious Signature Shop Gallery, and she has made
a name for herself over the years on the mountain with
her popular workshops at The Bascom, exhibitions at
a number of venues, and public commissions includ-
ing the new sign at the Hudson Library. She describes
her process as weaving together abstract shapes and
formsboth natural and geometricalto produce
both large- and intimate-scale pieces. Recently, she
started producing digital monoprints based on autumn
leavesan intriguing union of nature and technology.
Another intriguing union that Stiefel aims to evoke
in her work is that of mountains and ocean. For
the last several years I have spent a couple of winter
monthsin the Florida panhandle, where the Apala-
chicola River fows into the bay and the Gulf. The wa-
ter and the mica found in the white sands of that part
of Florida come into being in the Appalachian Moun-
tains, she says. I love to fnd ways to unite images
from both environments into one work of art.
Artists sketchbooks provide an alluring window
into their creative process and sources of inspiration.
Stiefel, realizing the appeal of her sketchbooks, has
decided to make them part of the summer exhibition
at Chivaree. I have loved to draw my whole life, she
says, so she keeps sketchbooks at hand with refer-
ences ready to be called into action in a painting. Since
people seem to like the renderings, I am going to share
some of the sketch books along with the new work.
She welcomes commissions, and encourages cli-
ents to review her sketch books for ideas theyd like to
see developed into a painting. Often, more than one
sketch serves as the basis for a painting, since some of
Stiefels paintings are layered compositions with back-
ground patterns and multiple motifs.
The exhibition Rosemary Stiefel: New Work will
be on view at Chivaree Southern Art & Design (chivar-
ts.com) starting July 1; an artist reception and talk will
take place at 4:00 P.M., Saturday, July 19. The gallery
is located in the Shops of Cashiers Commons on Hwy.
107 North, next to Zoller Hardware. All are welcome.

The Art of Marilyn Borglum
Featuring equine and canine art by an outstanding painter Marilyn Borglum.
Artist Marilyn Borglums haunting portraits capture the majesty and mystery of horses.
Y
es, one cant pass by Ann Jacob Gallery without noticing mon-
umental images of horses painted by the gallerys long-term
gemstone, Marilyn Borglum.
Marilyn was born in 1962 into a family whose art legacy was es-
tablished by her grandmothers uncles, Gutzon and Solon Borglum,
renowned artists whose subject matter was consistently horses
(Western depictions) and fgures. Gutzon was best known for his
monumental work, the astonishing Mount Rushmore.
Marilyns grandmother, Marian Borglum, recognized her grand-
daughters talent when she began drawing horses at a very young
age and nurtured the artist throughout her developing years.
Throughout my life, the horse has been a major direction in my
work, from the very earliest memories I have of drawing at three
or four years old, throughout four years of graduate school (Colo-
rado State University), and for two decades since, I have drawn and
painted horses, recalls Marilyn. For some time Ive been aware
that the form of the horse holds deep psychological symbolism for
me. The vast majorities of my equine paintings are pragmatic, and
controlled in the execution, as I systematically plan all or most of the
formal elements.
It is the choice of the subject of the horse that remains the only
element of a subconscious source that I, most likely, will never com-
pletely identify. I consider my work to be portraiture, although not
in the traditional use of the term, with subjects that range from hors-
es and dogs to city scenes and people and in mediums from black
crayon, to acrylics.
Marilyns work is found in private and commercial collections
throughout the continental US. Currently the artist is focusing on
spiritually based work and monumental images of the horse, both
realistic and abstracted, gestural drawings of horses, and people in
urban settings.
Ann Jacob delights in the opportunity to work with Marilyn. They
continuously display a vast array of Borglums artwork along with
taking commission requests for equine and canine portraits.

A League of Their Own
T

a new name and an expanded territory.
President Patty Calderone, with the
encouragement of members of the League,
decided to embrace a larger palette of artists
and knew the Cashiers Valley was the next
vista. The growing number of artists gal-
leries; The Village Green; The Cashiers Plein
Air Festival; and the Summer Fine Art Show
sponsored by the Art League at Sapphire Val-
ley Community Center this month, are just
few ways in which the valley supports local,
regional and national renowned artists. And
supporting local artists is one of missions of
the Art League of Highlands-Cashiers.
Patty Calderone takes her job as President
of the Art League of Highlands - Cashiers very
seriously. An award-winning artist since third
grade, Patty Calderone has always known it
was her path to follow. Her studio and gal-
lery is located on the Dillard Road where she
teaches classes and hosts live model, open studio sessions every
Tuesday. She publishes an impressively colorful and informative
monthly email newsletter and encourages anyone who might be
interested in receiving the mailing to contact her. Because Art
League membership is not limited to artists.
Its for anyone who loves and appreciates art
and how it can change and enrich lives. Mem-
bers of the League take their time to reach out
to children with art classes and the summer
camp in Highlands, as well as to fellow artists
and the community, in hopes they can open
hearts and minds to new ways of experiencing
the world. The League holds monthly meet-
ings and is spotlighting artist Sandy Webster
at this months meeting, July 28 at The Bas-
com. The general meeting is at 4:30 P.M. and
the public is invited to attend the reception
where wine and refreshments will be served.
A number of local businesses have also
done their part to support the League: The
Laurel Magazine, The Bascom, The Highlands

estled in a stand of rhododendron on the road to Cashiers
is a cottage flled with art. The Brier Patch in Highlands has
been in business since 1948 and is the exclusive North Caro-
lina representative of impressionist artist JoAnn Williams Walker.
Owner Catherine Appleton Peay has known the artist since
childhood. Catherines mother, Virginia Appleton (former own-
er of The Brier Patch), and Walker have been friends for years,
and Virginia began displaying JoAnns work at The Brier Patch in
the 1970s.
JoAnn has been visiting her friends in Highlands for years and
while here, she paints. Shell be back for the month of July, and
invites you to join her. Once you wander onto the back porch of
The Brier Patch youll see why its the favorite place for her easel.
The lush greenery of the rolling lawn and the unmatched view of
Shortof Mountain make for a plein air nirvana.
All works of art in The Brier Patch are Walkers own oils where
youll see landscapes from around the world. Of particular note
are the harborscapes she paints while studying in Italy. Theyre
thoughtfully displayed alongside the traditional home accessories
for which The Brier Patch has become known.
Jo Ann has been involved in art since the 70s working with
Winsor & Newton, London, England; Binney and Smith, New Jer-
sey; and Fredrix Canvas, Lawrenceville, Georgia. She assisted in
the design of artists brushes for Robert Simmons of New York City
and FM Brushes of Secaucus, New Jersey.
Over the years, her brushwork has become more confdent and
self-assured, which has resulted in freer and stronger composi-
tions. Her still life compositions are haphazardly yet perfectly ar-
ranged and transform ordinary images into exuberant refections
of color and light. The vibrant color of her work refects her pas-
sion for life and her world travels.
JoAnn Williams Walker will be painting at The Brier Patch the
month of July. Make sure you take time out of your busy summer
to enjoy the tranquility youll fnd at 4186 Cashiers Road in High-
lands. For more information, please contact Catherine Peay at

at 45 Slabtown Road in Cashiers.
Heres the thing about going to a place called The
Zookeeper Bistro you know theres not going to be an ounce

Sure enough, the restaurant was clean and bright and all
about serving wholesome, reasonably priced breakfast and

We came in around noon and were seated at a table in the
midst of a good mix of locals and summer people. Over the
years, Ive learned that that delicate balance between the two
populations is a reliable indicator of the overall ease of the din-
ing experience.
Tricia ordered The Highlander Press, a carefully constructed
sandwich of sliced corned beef, Thousand Island dressing, swiss
cheese and cole slaw.
This was a creation of architectural proportions. And this is
where The Zookeeper Bistro reveals itself to be true to its geo-
graphical heritage. This is a restaurant on Slabtown Road, where
guys literally worked in a quarry. This sandwich was crafted with
those storied workmen in mind. They wouldnt walk away from
here hungry.
And while were talking about local heritage, let me tell you
about our server, Josi. She was attentive and efcient and all
those other great server virtues. But heres the thing with a
little prompting on our part, she opened up and told us about
her community, some of the sites that we should see, what we
should avoid, and the people wed meet along the way. Hers was
a warm, homespun soul, the kind thats all but disappeared from
the American landscape. Our little chat was a reminder that no
matter how beautiful the mountains that surround the Cashiers
Valley, theyre matched by the beauty of its people.
But dont think that all we can say about Tricias sandwich is,
It was big. The Highlander Press was carefully blended to hit
all the high spots on the palate.
I opted for the Slabtown Cheeseburger. OK, so theyre nam-
ing the thing Slabtown Cheeseburger, so theyre positively
declaring its going to be massive. And it is. But like all the im-
portant things in life, size doesnt matter (right?). This burger
is charcoal-grilled by someone who understands the intricate
relationship between fame and ground chuck. In a scene remi-
niscent of Godzilla devouring Tokyo in his 1954 flm incarnation, I
wolfed it down, ignoring Tricia and her attempts at civilized con-
versation.
So that was our lunch experience, but that doesnt even get
into The Zookeeper Bistros Breakfast Menu, nor its tremendous
Sunday Brunch. Both options include the fantastic Buttermilk
Pancakes (I added bananas for an experience that would have
prompted Verdi to write an opera Im not kidding).
And both include Crab Benedict, a remarkably indulgent dish
featuring two poached eggs and pan-fried crab cakes served
upon English mufns and topped with Hollandaise Sauce in a
less-enlightened age this would have been banned on Sunday.
Ive run out of space, and I wanted to mention the adjoining
Grandpops Ice Cream Parlor. Theyve got all sorts of cold treats
and childhood favorites, but really, Im not sure how hungry
youll be after a meal at The Zookeepers Bistro.
So, visit for a delicious meal, but by all means, dont deny
yourself the experience of a small-town place that remembers
what its meant to be.

Ready or Not
P
eople frequently tell of some delicious wine they purchased 5-10
years ago and ask me if I think its ready to drink.
A simple question on the surface, not so easy to answer.
Is there a universal idea of when a wine is ready to drink? I have
found that not to be the case.
People tell me that they broke open a case that was 10 years old and
opened a bottle and thought it was the best wine they had ever tasted.
They then ask me when they should drink the rest.
The best wine they ever tasted is a pretty good endorsement. I
would say drink them now. I have never been more disappointed to
open one of my favorite wines, only to fnd I had kept it too long and
it was past its prime.
There are some, however, that really enjoy an older wine simply to
marvel at the fact that after all those years it is still reasonably pleas-
ant to drink. I often ask if the wine was served to them and they didnt
know what it was, would they like it? They usually say no in a way
that makes me think thats not the point.
So when is a wine ready to drink? Well, the good and the bad news
is, its completely up to you. I would gladly advise you, but I probably
dont look at wine exactly the same way as you do.
So, Drink Up! Or not

Bartending
with a
Capital B
W
hen told she was to be Star of the Bar Mixologist for
July, Brenna Roper, or B, as everyone calls her,
had to laugh. She has been bartender, wait staf, and
front of the house manager at The Highlands Smokehouse for 4
years, but really only fell into the role of bartender.
But Star of the Bar, she is. Growing up, her daddy told her
she would end up being a bartender. She laughed as she said,
Most peoples parents tell them to be a nurse, but not my dad.
He told me he was sure Id end up a bartender. I think its be-
cause I like to talk a lot. The mother of two teenaged sons
didnt start of that way, though; she worked for years at the Fi-
delia Eckerd Living Center as a Certifed Nursing Assistant and is
still a Private Duty Caregiver, but at The Highlands Smokehouse
she takes care of everyone.
Brenna genuinely enjoys all kinds of people. Whether shes
pouring a bourbon or serving up the Smokehouses famous bar-
beque, B gets to know her customers. And she treats them all
the same - like family. She doesnt even like to refer to herself
as a manager - but a mama. She says she has lots of kids up
here and I love them all, especially the people she works with.
At the end of a crazy day they sometimes get snippy but end up
hugging it out, just like families do.
B says that beer is king at the Highlands Smokehouse. They
are known for their craft beer selection, both on tap and in bot-
tles. Most cocktail drinkers tend to be of the Crown and Coke
or Vodka Tonic variety because the food is downhome. And
do those patrons love
her! She admits to
having a heavy hand
when pouring. I like to make sure my customers feel theyve
gotten their moneys worth. B says she doesnt get a whole
lot of requests for specialty drinks, but when she does, she
just rolls with what she knows, does her best and usually has
no complaints.
She does have a cheat sheet behind the bar to refer to when
an unusual cocktail is requested, but isnt afraid to ask a cus-
tomer to help her out. As a matter of fact, when asked for a
Duchess of Windsor Martini, Brennas customer gave her a
couple of items and B did the rest. The end result was perfect.
B smiles as she says, Once I make a drink I can usually retain
it....unless its really complicated! She uses fresh fruit from Au-
gust Produce when in season and one of the favorites is a fresh
strawberry Margarita. They never use bottled mixers, their Mar-
garita mix is just fresh lime juice and simple syrup. They even
squeeze their own oranges.
The Highlands Smokehouse at 595 Franklin Road in Highlands
is open 7 days a week all year round. Theyre currently open
from 11:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. Sunday through Thursday and
11:00 A.M. to 9:30 P.M. Friday and Saturday. Before you go in
expecting to meet Brenna, aka: B, aka: Mama....call (828)
526-5000 to make sure shes there, because she loves spending
time with her real children!
Have a favorite mixologist in the Highlands-Cashiers area? Nominate them to be our Star of the Bar at thelaurelmagazine.com/barstars.
In mixer flled with ice, add
Citrus Vodka, Raspberry Schnapps
and Simple Syrup
Squeeze in half a lemon, give it the
vigorous bartender shake and pour
into sugar-rimmed tall glass.

The Dog Days
S
ome images of summer seem to stick
in our heads. Like dropping from a rope
into invigorating waters at a favorite
swimming hole, or cresting a mountain peak
then perching on the edge to bask in a stun-
ning view, or boating across a glassy lake
either at exhilarating speeds or a peaceful
pace with fshing rod or canoe paddle in
hand.
For some of us, superimposed on all these
images is the wispy swish of a pointy tail and
grateful glances cast our way for the fun day
weve conjured up for our canine compan-
ions.
The hottest days of summer require a
little extra planning when it comes to your
dogs adventure. And in the mountains, the abundant lakes and
rivers provide a good answer. Even if youre not up for a long
hike, several local watering holes make it quick and easy for Bru-
no to take the summer plunge.
Lake Glenville The two public access areas on this gorgeous
mountain lake are usually populated with people and are, there-
fore, not very dog-fun-friendly. But if gliding across glassy wa-
ters does ft your idea of summer fun, you can rent a boat at
Signal Ridge Marina for as little as $45 per hour, and take your
buddy out for a cruise. Pull up and play amid gorgeous scenery
along 26 miles of shoreline, including several waterfalls. Be sure
to treat yourself to a dip; Lake Glenvilles clean, fresh waters will
make you wag with excitement as well.
Silver Run Falls This gem of a swimming
hole is created by a pretty waterfall plum-
meting into Silver Run Creek just of High-
way 107 about four miles out of Cashiers
toward Walhalla. You will rack up serious
brownie points with your pup for even 20
minutes at this ad hoc water park for dogs.
New furry bonds form as paws paddle side-
by-side to retrieve sticks being tossed by
owners from the speck of beach or the big
boulders along the edge. The swimming
hole is a short trail walk from the road. Use
caution when parking at the pull-of on the
side of 107.
Highlands Nature Center Pond This
scenic pond provides a more placid canine
cooling spot. Unlike Silver Run Falls, a grassy expanse along
one of the banks provides human relaxation space while your
dog swims out for sticks. (The website does say dogs should be
leashed, as with most public places, but if youre hiking the trails
here on quieter days you sometimes have the pond to yourself
long enough for a couple of stick tosses.)
A tired dog is a happy dog. We feel like weve done our duty if
the calm after a long day of adventure includes our precious fur-
ry friend sleeping away the late afternoon hours, with only the
occasional jerking of paws as he swims or hikes his way through
dreams, reliving his blissful dog days of summer.

A System of Balances
F
ly fishing is a system of
balances.
The rod, reel and line
must be in balance. The fly
and leader must be in bal-
ance. And last but not least,
the angler has to balance in
the stream while walking on
moving rocks and boulders.
The first step in balancing
rod, reel and line is to decide
what line weight works best
for the type of fishing well
be doing. Lines are designat-
ed in weights of 1 through
15 depending on the actual
weight of the first 30 feet
of line in grains, grams or
ounces. It is only important
to know that the larger the
number, the heavier the line.
Heavier lines cast larger flies.
Because most of the
flies we use in the Southeast
range from size 12 to size 18,
a 4 or 5 weight line makes a
good all-around choice. Hav-
ing decided on a line weight,
we can now choose a rod
built to cast that weight of
line. All rods are built to cast
one specific weight of line.
This system creates the cor-
rect amount of flex in the
rod when casting. Now that
we have the rod and line bal-
anced we will choose a reel
designed to accommodate
the line. Heavier lines are
also thicker. Therefore the
heavier the line, the larger
the reel must be to hold the
line. Reels are generally de-
signed to hold one of two or
three different line weights.
For instance, having cho-
sen a 5 weight line and rod
we might choose a reel de-
signed for a 3, 4 or 5 weight
or a 4, 5 or 6 weight.
The next part of our sys-
tem is leader and fly. As we
mentioned previously, most
of our flies are size 12, 14,
16 or 18. Most leaders are
7 or 9 feet long and taper
from a thicker end connect-
ing to the fly line to a very
thin end connecting to the
fly. This thin end we call the
tippet. Leaders sizes are de-
termined by the diameter of
the tippet, in a scale from
0x (the thickest) to 8x (the
thinnest). The tippet diam-
eter should balance with fly
size. By dividing fly size by
3 we get the correct leader
size. For instance, size 12 fly
divided by 3 is a 4x leader.
A size 18 fly divided by 3 is a
size 6x leader.
Now, lets go fishing.

Growing An Edible Garden
W
hen we think of ed-
ible gardens in July,
the mind easily
wanders to the abundance of
a summer vegetable harvest
-- juicy heirloom tomatoes,
eggplant, and tangy peppers.
Beans are ripening in abun-
dance in a mid-summer garden,
as are cucurbits those mem-
bers of the squash, cucumber
and pumpkin families that were
started early enough.
Equally compelling for the
garden as the all-star annual
vegetables are lesser-known
perennial vegetables that pro-
vide more bang for the buck
in terms of produce. These
workhorses continue to pro-
vide year after year, with much
less efort from the gardener.
Perennials such as asparagus,
horseradish, so-called walk-
ing onions, sylvetta arrugul,
sorrel and sunchokes (note:
sunchokes are an aggres-
sive species!) are well worth
considering.
Plenty of delectable fruits
that grow well in our region
fall into the perennial category
such as goji berries, currants,
raspberry, blackberry, hardy
kiwi, Nanking cherry and alpine
strawberry. Tree fruits that
perform well under organic
care in our humid climate in-
clude: nectarine, apricot, apple,
pear, plum, Asian persimmon,
and pomegranate. Plants na-
tive to our area (we know will
perform well) that produce
delicious fruit exist in variety
-- Paw-paw, Elderberry, high
bush blueberry, passionfower,
persimmon, and serviceberry.
Note that some shrubs, trees
and vining fruits need to cross-
pollinate with a diferent vari-
ety of the same plant in order
to produce fruit. These lists
are by no means extensive and
there is such an abundance of
native medicinal plants and
spices in our rich woodland
environment that theres sim-
ply not space to go into them
here! The Southern Blue Ridge
is one of the most bio-diverse
regions in the world; we have
a plethora of edible and medici-
nal plants to enjoy.
Perennial plants that pro-
vide benefcial functions for
other plants are important in
the garden. Dynamic accumu-
lators such as comfrey, yar-
row, clover and nettle mine
store nutrients, making them
available to other plants. As a
bonus, many of them provide
uses for people, too. Comfrey
is nutrient-packed and thrives
in moist garden soil in partial
shade. It has a soothing efect
when used internally or topi-
cally as medicine. Truly, there is
no better relief found for a bee
sting than a fresh comfrey leaf
chewed for a minute and ap-
plied directly to the sting. Yar-
row blooms are gorgeous and
attract benefcial insects to the
garden. Clover fxes (makes
available) the most limiting
nutrient in garden soil, nitro-
gen, and grows just about any-
where. Red clover fowers are
used in teas to balance wom-
ens hormonal systems. Net-
tle is a mineral-rich plant that

Shave a Few Strokes
I
consider the short game
(50 yards or less) to be the
easiest way shots can be
saved in a hurry.
Just think what percent-
age of putts, chips, and
pitches are contained in your
round and how many wasted
shots and putts are involved
in high scores. If you use your
head and proper technique,
believe me, shots can be
saved here.
We all have the capability of
hitting an accurate shot from
short of the green. It doesnt
take strength to make this
work. A little old lady can
make a big strapping man look
like a fool in this area if she
knows what she is doing.
Just because we have the
capability doesnt mean we
have the ability.
The technique to a good
short game is fairly simple.
There are four main principles
to follow:
1) The shot should appear
smooth and efortless with no
lunge on hit at the ball. Think
smooth!
2) Your body must remain
fairly still but not stif. Keep
those knees relaxed and lean-
ing towards your target with
your weight mainly on the left
side. Dont lean back on your
right side.
3) Keep it simple and get
the ball on the green and roll-
ing as soon as possible. Dont
try to be a touring pro and hit
high lob shots all the time;
they are difcult to master
and control distance. Use a
less lofted club and let it roll.
4) Dont stick the club in
the ground. You should let
the club release and always
have a bit of follow through.
You can control the distance
by the length and speed of
your short swing.
Controlling specifc dis-
tance with your short shots:
Step 1: Practice tossing a
ball underhand from just of
the green. Roll diferent dis-
tances and notice the smooth
motions you are using natural-
ly without fipping your wrist
or moving your body much.
Step 2: With a 7-iron from
just of the green, place the
ball of your right foot and
imitate the same motion
with your club as you were
when tossing the ball in step
1. It should be smooth and
efortless.
Now if you will spend a lit-
tle time practicing these prin-
ciples and let the ball hit and
roll with a simple shot I think
you will shave a few strokes
of your score and eliminate
some of those chunky, fat or
thin chips that drive us crazy.
Dont forget, if you or any
of your friends are interested
in a golf tour to Scotland or
Ireland, check out my website
at tomsgolftours.com or give
me a call to chat about it. Trips
for summer 2015 are already
being started.

T
hough the tiny white-tailed
fawns may look very much
alone, most likely they are not
abandoned. Whitetails are a hider
species, which means the female
will hide her fawn in vegetation dur-
ing the frst two or three weeks of
its life as she feeds. Lacking scent,
fawns are well-camoufaged which
is efective for avoiding detection by
predators. The doe will return to the
fawn several times a day to nurse
and clean it, staying only a few min-
utes each time before leaving again
to seek food. The fawn is also well-
equipped to protect itself. By the
time a fawn is 5 days old, it can
outrun a human.

Glen Falls
Glen Falls is located south of Highlands of NC 106 south. It is composed of three large falls dropping ap-
proximately 640 feet. Glen Falls trail ofers panoramic views of the Blue Valley as well as spectacular views
of a series of waterfalls known collectvely as Glen Falls. The trail zigzags down a series of switchbacks,
losing about seven hundred vertcal feet in 1 mile as it follows the creek down the mountains side.
This is probably the most beautful waterfall setng in the Highlands area - and one of the least visited
since its not on the main highway and it requires a 1.5-mile roundtrip hike.

HI STORY
Money is Everything, Isnt It?
I
n the early 1960s, the Blue Ridge Parkway came close to
colliding with Highlands. A movement was afoot to build
a Parkway extension through Panthertown Valley, crossing
Highway 107 between Cashiers and Glenville. It would slither
up Rattlesnake Knob, cross 64 near Clifside Lake, then 106
near Scaly and wind its way down into Georgia, ending 26 miles
north of Atlanta.
Proposed in 1963, it was signed into Federal Law in 1968. For
all intents and purposes, it looked like a sealed deal. So how
did Main Street avoid becoming a Parkway side trip? Simple,
Highlanders cried foul.
Environmentalists, private landowners, wildlife preserva-
tionists, hunters, and fshermen made a louder noise than
those merchants who heard the distant ring of ka-chinging
cash registers.
The likelihood of a din of trafc, a disruption of vistas, end-
less litter, waves of tourists, a coarse commercialization, and an
overall loss of the integrity of the land fueled an uproar which
was summed-up by Pope Fuller in January, 1976. Excerpts from
his two-part Highlander ad, Money Is Everything, Isnt It, read
Ladies and Gentlemen of Highlands: Our beloved Federal Gov-
ernment is going to bring us a new road which they are going to
call the Blue Ridge Parkway. They are going to wrap it around
Highlands and it will bring us at least 1,000,000,000,000, 000
visitors a year and these visitors are going to spend money like
it was going out of style.
These 1,000,000,000,000,000 visitors a year are going to
leave us all belly deep (excuse the expression) in chewing gum
wrappers, paper cups, and lunch bags. (No problem. we can
always hire a crew to pick up the mess.).
First . . . all us high-power downtown merchants are going
to get rich.
Second, after all, Money is Everything, Isnt It?
The next month, more that 200 citizens attended a Parkway
Workshop to register strong opposition. By March, a Save the
Mountains campaign was in full swing. The government backed
down but never ofcially took the proposal of the books.
If you wake up one morning to the rumble of distant road
blasting, get ready to blast back. The resolve of the Highlands
Plateau residents to maintain the relative solitude and beauty
of the Nantahala forest is still alive and well.

Joe Lee Made Golfng Fun
H
ighlands Falls Country Club recently celebrated its history
with a fun-flled weekend centered on the frst annual Joe
Lee Scholarship Foundation Golf Tournament.
Well-known golf course architect Joe Lee came on board in
the early 80s when Highlands Falls expanded its facilities and be-
gan major improvements to the course. As a result, Highlands
Falls has become known for its dramatic signature hole, #15,
which includes a 150-foot waterfall as the backdrop to this beau-
tiful Par 3 hole. No other course on the mountains can match the
beauty that Joe Lee created with this design!
As a tribute to Mr. Lees contribution to the history of High-
lands Falls, a special room was dedicated to his memory and
flled with items of interest throughout his career and displayed
alongside mementos of the clubs history since its meager begin-
ning in 1958.
Letters expressing an appreciation for Lees course designs
were presented to the club from both Arnold Palmer and Jack
Nicklaus and proudly hang in the room as a testament to his suc-
cessful career more than 12 years following his passing.
Ron Whitten, Senior Architecture Editor for Golf Digest Maga-
zine and author of the book Gentleman Joe Lee50 years of
Golf Course Design, opened the dedication ceremony with
some words on Lees remarkable career spanning more than
50 years.
Jinny Lee, Joes widow, spoke about the Joe Lee Scholarship
Foundation, which provides tuition assistance to children of em-
ployees of Joe Lee-designed courses. Tournament proceeds will
go to the Joe Lee Scholarship Foundation. Also in attendance to
honor Lee was Rocky Rocquemore, who partnered with Joe on
many of the over 200 courses he designed or remodeled.
Hobart Manley, former member of Highland Falls Country
Club, was recognized for his many years as a competitor at the
highest levels of amateur golf and 13-time Club Champion at
Highlands Falls. As acknowledgement of his many accomplish-
ments in the world of golf, the Mens Club Championship Cup
has been renamed in his honor and he was presented with a life-
time Special Membership.
Adding to the weekends festivities were golf luminaries such
as renowned golf instructor and PGA Professional Hall of Famer
Bob Toski and Dennis Walters, honorary lifetime member of The
PGA of America
Toski held a golf clinic on Saturday and scheduled private in-
struction throughout the weekend. His philosophy on golf is very
much the same as it was back in the day when he coached many
of the golf greats Stick to the basics. Thats the best way to
improve your game and becoming a good golfer. Toskis wit and
humor go a long way in getting his point across to the golfer who
has formed too many bad habits by the time they get to him.
And Toskis feelings about todays golf courses? Theyre not
building golf courses, theyre building obstacle courses.
From a very early age, Dennis Walters dreamed of becoming a
touring PGA professional.
Sadly, that dream was cut short in 1974 when an accident left
him paralyzed from the waist down. But from that tragedy came
a determination so strong that it morphed into a new career. As
a paraplegic, Dennis rediscovered his golf swing and now trav-
els the countryside, not as a PGA professional, but with a much
higher purpose; sharing both his inspirational message of stick-
to-itiveness and living your dream, while at the same time demon-
strating his amazing golf talent. One need only watch him drive a
golf ball to know that determination can overcome any obstacle,
no matter how great.
Denniss philosophy: Never stop dreaming. If your dream
doesnt work out, get a new dream!
At the end of this weekend-long celebration, everyone walked
away with a better understanding of not just Joe Lee the archi-
tect, but also Joe Lee the gentleman. He was known for design-
ing courses that were fun to play for a beginner as well as a sea-
soned professional (just ask Bob Toski) and the Highlands Falls
course is an excellent example of that philosophy.
Lee said it best, Golf is a sport to be enjoyed. The designer
shouldnt make it a life or death struggle!

J.A. Zachary, 1833 Settler
The descendants of Colonel John A. Zachary, who set-

tled in Cashiers Valley about the year 1833, met at the
old graveyard Saturday, August 28, for the purpose of
erecting a monument to the memory of Alfred Zachary and
wife who was one of the original fourteen children, sons and
daughters, of Col. John A. Zachary.
There was a good large crowd present from many parts
of the country, some traveling hundreds of miles for the pur-
pose of being at the reunion. Its needless to say that we all
thoroughly enjoyed coming together for the third meet of
the reunion.
We met for the first time in 1909 and placed a monument
to the memory of our grandfather and mother, who had
been lying in unmarked graves for about forty-five years.
We met again in August, 1910 and placed a monument mark-
ing the resting place of our Uncle Thos. J. Zachary [Thomas
Jefferson], who died in 1864.
The last Saturday in 1912, we will meet for the fourth
time and mark the resting place of Uncle Logan Allison and
Aunt Betsy, and propose to meet annually the last Saturday
in August until we mark the grave of each of that historic
family who are sleeping in an unmarked grave. That duty
being accomplished, we will then turn our attention to other
relatives whose people are not able to erect monuments to
their memory. We are trying to get the names of all the de-
scendants but have not succeeded yet and would like for the
head of each family to send in a list of the names and birth
dates of their household to Mrs. R. H. Zachary, Brevard, N. C.
and let us see how many thousand kinsmen there are in this
prolific Zachary family.
The following is a Jackson County Journal newspaper article dated September 8, 1911, which reported on the events at the third Zachary Reunion.
It was written by T. R. Zachary of Cashiers.

A Power-full Tour
E
ach year the Glenville Area Historical Societys History Tour
takes on a diferent theme or favor.
The 2014 Tour is no diferent and the headline reference
to power is no mistake! This years tour includes the Duke En-
ergy Thorpe Powerhouse on Highway 107 North.
Anyone familiar with Glenville knows that Lake Glenville, a
dominating feature in the Glenville area, is what is known as a
power lake. Water from Lake Glenville is released to fow down
huge pipes -- you can see them on the left when traveling on
Highway 107 north from Glenville -- to the 1940s-style brick
building where the Lake Glenville water generates power for
electricity near and far. The facade of the deco building belies
what is inside, which is what tour-goers will see on Saturday,
July 19, the date of the Fourth Annual Glenville History Tour.
Those more interested in old homes, historic stories, photos
and documents will not be disappointed. Sites more typical of
GAHS previous tours, the Norton Community in 2012 and Big
Ridge in 2013, are also included in this years itinerary. Tour-
goers will travel along Highway 107, stopping at sites from the
historic Trout Creek Baptist Church and Emory McCoys General
Store, to rarely-open-to-the-public homes and cabins along Ce-
dar Creek and Bee Tree roads. Traditionally, the fnal stop is a
bluegrass and dulcimer musical treat to conclude a very satisfy-
ing day for tour-goers and volunteers.
This fourth annual GAHS History Tour has been in the planning
stages since last fall. Members of the GAHS tour committee
have carefully researched family histories, documents and pub-
lic records to assure this 2014 tour ofers, once again, remark-
able sites with fascinating histories and stories. A great deal of
the discoveries are presented on display boards and narrated by
site hosts.
At every tour stop a knowledgeable host, often accompanied
by the propertys ancestor or present owner, ofers inside in-
formation, anecdotes, and intriguing details about the original
family or building.
The GAHS mission is to preserve the rich history of the Glen-
ville area. Members interview elderly residents, conduct map
research, collect documents, and research history. Ultimately,
after co-coordinating written material, photos, and documents,
the result will be a comprehensive historical publication about
the greater Glenville area and Hamburg Township. The annual
History Tour is a fundraiser to raise seed money for the publica-
tion while ofering a historical event opportunity for young and
old alike.
The approximately two to two-and-a-half hour tour is self-
guided via a Tour brochure that includes the basic story of each
site, an excellent map, and photos. Plenty of directional signage
will be placed on the roads leading to all of the sites.
The tour opens at 10:00 A.M. and tickets will be sold until 2:00
P.M. on tour day at the Thorpe Powerhouse and the site of the
McCoy General Store at the corner of Glenville School Road and
Highway 107 North. Advance tickets can be purchased up until
July 16 at the Carolina Cottage in Glenville and at the Glenville
Community Development Club during the tour week.

aura Thomason grew up in Lexington, Kentucky, and fol-
lowed her older sisters wise footsteps to the University of
Virginia.
Jack Dickens grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and contin-
ued on to UVA.
Despite having many mutual friends, Laura and Jack did not
know each other until the end of their fourth year at UVA in
2009. The ironic thing was they had been to many parties to-
gether and Jack had even been to a party at Lauras home but
they had never formally met. They fnally met in Playa del Car-
men, Mexico, during their spring break trip at the airport and
had the time of their lives.
During their dating years, Laura and Jack actually celebrated
the day they met as their anniversary. Nevertheless, they faced
the immediate hurdle of a long distance relationship after grad-
uating from UVA. Jack had accepted an investment banking job
at Robert W. Baird & Co. in Milwaukee and Laura was headed to
medical school at Emory University in Atlanta.
For the frst two years they dated long distance, Laura and
Jack made the most of every weekend together with fancy
meals and countless champagne toasts. In 2011, Jack realized
that medical school was actually going to last four years and re-
located to Atlanta. At a family trip to the Keeneland race track
in Lexington, Kentucky, Jack asked for Lauras fathers permis-
sion to pop the question during a covert early morning break-
fast. Less than a week later he proposed with a family ring hid-

The mountains of North Carolina had always been an amazing
getaway for Laura and Jack since early in their relationship and
the Thomasons have a home in Cashiers. The peaceful setting,
beautiful views, and small-town charm made the Highlands/Ca-
shiers area a perfect escape close to Atlanta.
When we began planning our wedding we knew this was
a place we would love to share with our family and friends for
such a monumental celebration, Laura said.
With Laura in medical school, her mother Barbara was enlist-
MOUNTAI N WEDDI NG
ed to help plan the wedding.
Barbara stated, Because she was still in school and she did
not have the time and I enjoyed helping plan the wedding, but
it was defnitely their wedding, said Barbara. Laura and I
worked closely on planning the wedding. She had lots of ideas
and I just tried to bring those ideas to fruition. I did not want to
be one of these moms who planned the wedding the way that
I wanted it.
Laura and Jack chose the beautiful Old Edwards Inn for their
wedding weekend and Oakleaf Flower and Garden for the fo-
rals. They wanted the dcor to be classically elegant, but not
overblown. Lauras father, Bill is the CEO and President of
Keeneland Association. Being from Kentucky and with the fam-
ilys strong connection to the Thoroughbred industry they want-
ed an equine theme. Oakleaf captured their vision perfectly and
even had an English riding saddle and stirrups incorporated into
the dcor.
The weather that weekend left much to be desired and the
wedding day started out with rain. Laura was calm and collect-
ed and later when Barbara mentioned the weather, Laura re-
sponded, The weather was such a small part of the day. It was
such a great party with family and friends, the location and food
were superior and I loved that the mist settled on the moun-
tains right before the ceremony.

When I inquired as to her favorite memory of her wedding, Lau-
ras reply was the Red Arrow Camp benediction, from a summer
camp in upstate Wisconsin. Jack and his father both had attended
camp there as children.
Barbara said, The band was the highlight of the evening and
kept the party going. We had a good friend who had also gone to
Lauras sisters wedding and he said to me that he was only sorry
we did not have more daughters so he could come to another one
of our wedding celebrations.
After a three week honeymoon to Santorini, Greece, and travel-
ing west through Venice, Florence and Paris the couple have set-
tled into life in Chicago where Laura has fnished her frst year of In-
ternal Medicine at The University of Chicago and Jack has fnished
his frst year in the MBA program at the Booth School in Chicago.

Giving Back Has Its Rewards
HOMES & LI FESTYLES
M
illions of Americans
choose to give
back to their com-
munities by making donations
to their favorite charities
each year. In fact, according
to the Giving USA Foundation
and Center of Philanthropy at
Indiana University, charitable
contributions totaled more
than $316 billion in 2012. Qual-
ifying organizations are those
that have been granted tax-
exempt charity status by the
IRS, and include churches,
religious organizations, and
various organizations that
promote education, health
and other social services to
beneft the general public.
While gifts of cash are
probably the most common
type of gift, many individu-
als fnd that it is benefcial to
make charitable gifts in other
ways. When determining a
charitable-gifting strategy,
its important to keep in mind
that there are annual limits
on the amount you can claim
as a charitable deduction for
tax purposes, depending on
the types of charities you
donate to and the type of
assets gifted.
Direct gifts of appreciated
securities. This method con-
serves the donors cash while
helping to avoid capital-gains
tax on the sale of the appreci-
ated security. Generally, you
may deduct the market value
of the securities (determined
at the time of the gift) on
your current-year tax return.
Direct gifts of life insur-
ance. You may choose to
transfer a life insurance policy
to an organization if the life
insurance coverage is no lon-
ger required. If the policy has
a cash value, the organization
may be able to borrow funds
from the policy, and you may
be entitled to an income-tax
deduction in the amount of
the policys value.
Charitable remainder
trust. This technique lets you
make a charitable contribu-
tion of assets into a trust in
which the assets can be sold
without generating current
capital-gains tax. You may
receive an income stream
from the trust during your
lifetime and receive a current
income-tax deduction based
on the present value of the
future beneft to an organiza-
tion. Charitable gift annui-
ties. In this arrangement, the
organization promises to pay
the donor a constant income
stream an annuity in ex-
change for a charitable gift.
Pooled income funds. A
charitable nonproft organiza-
tion can create and maintain
a pooled income fund con-
sisting of assets contributed
by many diferent donors. An
organization pays the net in-
come the fund earns to the
various donors in proportion
to their respective interests
in the fund.
Private charitable founda-
tions, supporting organiza-
tions and community founda-
tions. Creating a foundation
lets your family control the
allocation and investment
of contributions made to
an organization.

what alternatives may be a

Taking Care of Older Bones
Dr. Johnson, I had a bone

density test and I was told
I have osteoporosis! The
doctor wants me to take Fosa-
max, Actonel or Boniva but I
have read about these drugs
and I would prefer not to take
them. I have read they have
terrible side efects. What can
I do?
Your bone density calcula-
tions uses a T-score and Z-
score to determine whether
you have osteopenia or osteo-
porosis. The T-score compares
your bone mineral density
(BMD) to that of a healthy 30
year old.. The Z-score is when
they compare yourself to oth-
ers with same age, sex and eth-
nicity.
You have your test, you have
osteopenia or osteoporosis
and now you have a choice to
make; do I take a drug or do I
do something naturally that
has no side efects?
Here are a few suggestions
to start strengthening your
bones:
Taking any calcium is not
the answer, you need calcium
but you need the right cal-
cium. You were taking the
wrong supplements! Bone is
not just calcium, bone is a ma-
trix that includes many nutri-
ents. You will need vitamin D,
K2, magnesium, omega 3 fat to
name just a few.
We also need proper
amounts of acid in our stom-
achs to breakdown calcium
(several of the new drugs they
give for stomach acid can cre-
ate a problem with absorbing
nutrients)
Your diet is very important,
are you eating in such a way
that you create acidity and now
your body has to use your alka-
line minerals to bufer this acid-
ity?
Do not drink sodas, they are
very acidic
Increase raw fruits and veg-
etables.
Stop eating processed
foods.
Weight-bearing exercise is
actually one of the most efec-
tive remedies against osteopo-
rosis, because as you put more
tension on your muscles it puts
more pressure on your bones,
which then respond by continu-
ously creating fresh, new bone.
There are some new studies
that support whole body vibra-
tion, using a power plate to im-
prove bone strength
Get a simple urine test that
can check to see if you are still
losing calcium.
Read The Myth of Osteo-
porosis by Gillian Sanson, and
when you are committed to
change call Dr. Resa or Dr. Jim.

Infammation- Friend or Foe?
I
nfammation is a hot topic in
my ofce, literally and fgu-
ratively. Infammation is the
bodys way of dealing with a
problem beginning with acti-
vation of the immune cells. If
your body is already healthy,
infammation is a necessary
and efcient process. When
you have a cut on your skin,
you can actually watch the
healing in steps right before
your eyes. First, a wound be-
comes red and slightly raised,
then it forms a scab, then the
scab slowly recedes, the red-
ness becomes pink, et voila!
The skin surface is healed!
This miraculous event is
controlled by your immune
system. The same type of
process happens when you
have an internal injury. With
a back injury, often you also
experience pain in either your
arm, shoulder, buttock or leg
- this is usually infammation
stemming from the spine and
nerve roots. That infamma-
tion is causing irritation of the
sensitive tissue that controls
motion and coordination. In-
fammation and subsequent
cellular healing is the bodys
way of handling an injury like
this. If the body is too taxed
by the injury or is already deal-
ing with excess stress (lack of
sleep, poor nutrition, no ex-
ercise), sometimes it simply
cant handle the internal inju-
ry. Natural healing techniques
like chiropractic care, acu-
puncture, massage therapy,
ultrasound and other thera-
pies are all designed to aid the
body to do its own healing.
Somewhat oddly, these ap-
proaches actually encourage
the infammatory process so
that the body can heal fully
and correctly. Anti-infamma-
tory medications or interven-
tions are sometimes neces-
sary when the body is really
struggling even with the natu-
ral route. Examples of this are
steroids, epidural injections
and over the counter NSAIDS
like Advil, Aleve and Motrin.
Understanding that infam-
mation is necessary in healing
will help you heal better and
more completely in the fu-
ture. The most important as-
pect of healing is just that: if
you allow the body to do what
it does naturally and seek the
right help in natural care, you
can heal fully so that the same
injury will not recur six weeks
later! Take care of your body
and it will take care of you.
Stay tuned for the next article
on the perils of too much in-
fammation in the body!

Keeping Burlingame Green
B
urlingame Country Clubs
golf course in Sapphire is a
true mountain course enjoy-
able for all levels of players. The
links-style course ofers golfers
a private, peaceful experience
among a natural landscape of na-
tive Rhododendron and Mountain
Laurel. The course features over
16 bodies of water including the
Horsepasture River, Rock Creek
and several waterfalls. Elevation
changes are 400 feet from the
front nine to the back.
Director of Golf Maintenance Buddy Snowden credits the
course designer. Tom Jackson did a good job ftting the golf
course into the natural mountain landscape. No hole seems
contrived or manufactured, said Snowden.
Our golf course is one of the best conditioned courses in
our area, said John Carter, Burlingames Head Golf Profession-
al. The course is in better shape now than it has ever been,
New member Michael Tollin described it by saying, Mag-
nifcent. Beautiful. Perfectly manicured fairways, true putting
greens and a beautiful, natural setting.
Kudos for Burlingames exceptional course maintenance
go to Buddy Snowden and Ryan
Snowden, the father and son
team that keeps Burlingame
green. Buddy was hired by Burl-
ingames original developer Dar-
nell Boyd, then Sapphire Lakes, in
1999. He and wife Marcie came
from Chillicothe, Missouri, where
they worked in commercial real
estate and retail. Buddy was also
the Superintendent for the Coun-
try Club of Chillicothe, and con-
struction superintendent for the
citys Green Hills Golf Course.
Sons Ryan and Michael were practically raised on a golf
course, working with their dad from a very young age. Ryan
studied at Eastern Kentucky University, fnishing his certifcation
in Turf Grass Management with Penn State. He joined his father
as Burlingames Superintendent in 2007. Marcie is the kinder-
garten teacher for Summit Charter School in Cashiers and Mi-
chael owns a successful landscaping business in Kentucky.
A typical work day for the Snowdens and their crew be-
gins about 6:00 A.M., grooming the golf course, the Lawn
Sports Complex, and Welcome Center. It is a labor of love,
Snowden said.

Investment Management Reinvented

Kingdom Legacy Fund

B
lessings. That is the
reason why we have
reinvented an uncon-
ventional approach for how
investment management
should be.
Ive been blessed in many
ways through the years. Finan-
cially, Ive been blessed most
of my life whether through my
CPA frm, real estate invest-
ments including building and
owning Publix shopping cen-
ters, or using our unique ad-
vantage with the stock market
(which has worked for over
three decades).
One of my goals as a CPA
was to help people. I feel even
stronger about that today
as many people are wearing
blinders as they make de-
cisions regarding the money
and wealth they worked so
hard to obtain. People need
to protect their assetsthey
need to protect their family.
There is a fundamental dis-
connect between investors
and traditional investment
managers. Professionals cal-
culate risk with statistics and
standard deviations and volatil-
ity. Not once have I ever heard
an investor associate risk with
these terms. The average in-
vestor just wants to know how
much can I lose, or what is the
worst that can happen?
Many brokers, advisers and
planners merely place you in
an asset allocation model. They
tell you that diversifying across
asset classes like stocks and
bonds is the best way to pro-
tect yourself. Thats not risk
management!
The pick-a-portfolio ap-
proach resulted in extreme
losses for most investors in
the 2000 dot-com disaster as
well as the 2008 fnancial col-
lapse. In fact, you cant diver-
sify or asset allocate your
way around major market pull
backs. We all know another
pull back is overdue.
Currently, the markets seem
to have a herd-following
mentality, and when that hap-
pens, prices are far removed
from the underlying funda-
mentals of the market.
At Kingdom Legacy we
dont take the side of the bull
or bear. Instead, we make
objective decisions based on
what our indicators are show-
ing. The markets are constant-
ly changing, and we protect
our investors by keeping up
with the changing markets.
At Kingdom Legacy we
knew there had to be a better
way. Let us show you the supe-
rior way with the most unique
asset protection program of-
fered for investors. Call Mark
today (828) 743-3000.
Past performance does not
guarantee future results. All
investments carry risk.

Plateaus Cherokee Heritage
W
hile it is believed that the Cherokee did not establish
permanent settlements on the Highlands-Cashiers
Plateau, there is evidence that long before Highlands
and Cashiers were founded, Indians roamed these lands and
used them for hunting. There is much to be learned from the
Cherokees presence in our history. One example is the story
of Horse Cove. Before Highlands was formed, Stanhope W.
Hill, a military volunteer, was sent to the picturesque valley to
round up Cherokee for the now infamous Trail of Tears. His
wife, Celia Edwards Hill was dismayed by her husbands assign-
ment and protested the way the Cherokee were being treated,
even hiding out an Indian woman and her two children at the
base of Black Rock Mountain until their family could transport
them to safety. Celia was eventually successful in her plight and
Stanhope chose to retire from the military, making Horse Cove
their permanent residence. Stanhope became Highlands frst
mayor and also made other signifcant contributions, includ-
ing turning an Indian Trail that followed a series of switchbacks
into the scenic byway that is now called Horse Cove Road. In
2009, the land surrounding Stanhope and Celias home, The Hill
House, was conserved by their descendants in perpetuity with
The Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust in the interest of conserving
wildlife habitat as well as cultural heritage, adding on to other
protected properties in the area.
To learn more about the Cherokee, please join Freeman Owle
on July 29 at 5:30 P.M. for his free presentation on The Chero-
kee, Children of the earth, Yesterday & Today as part of the
2014 Village Nature Series at The Village Green Commons in Ca-
shiers. Freeman was born and went to school on the Cherokee
Indian Reservation. He is a national speaker with a passion for
educating the public about the real history and culture of the
Cherokee. He feels that misunderstandings and biases need to
be made right before things can be better for native peoples.
The Village Nature Series is co-hosted by Highlands-Cashiers
Land Trust and The Village Green. To learn more visit: hicashlt.

Horses Healing Humans and Horses Too!
W
ho knew that the horses of
Carpe Diem Farms would revo-
lutionize the equine shoeing in-
dustry and lead to healing other horses?
For the past 23 years while inspiring and
healing humans through our experiential
programming, they have provided a labo-
ratory for learning -- their hoof and joint is-
sues: laminitis, thin soles, arthritis, Equine
Cushings Disease, and even a hairline frac-
ture caused lameness issues.
Who knew that making them comfort-
able and helping them heal with duct tape
and insulation board would get us to high
tech scans, CAD images and 3D printing, to
a mold and then a fexible composite ma-
terial which would become Easys Slipper?
Now patented and manufacturing at CDF,
we launched at the International Hoof
Care Summit. Easys Slipper is already be-
coming the new go-to glue-on shoe for
farriers across the country.
Who knew that Easys Slipper through
an independent scientifc research frm would prove to be 64-
220 percent better than the competition in providing shock ab-
sorption and vibration dissipation? The lightweight slipper has
less impact on the weight load in the hors-
es shoulder, allowing for organic move-
ment and fexibility. It reduces stress on
bones, ligaments, and joints; allows for
natural fexion of the hoof; and increases
oxygenation and blood fow. Its better
than we ever imagined, all because of our
herd past and present.
Dave Giza of Culpepper, Virginia, has ex-
panded our horizons of CDF horses helping
horses. Giza, a farrier, equine podiatrist,
Clydesdale breeder and owner is testing
Easys Slipper on Percherons and Clydes-
dales with extraordinary success! For-
merly lame horses are going back to work,
sound at a walk, trot, canter and even
jumping! Their luncheon plate size feet
and their joints are fnding comfort. His
clients are now requesting colored shoes!
Who knew Clydesdale owners would dress
their gentle giants in pink? They asked, we
obliged -- meet She-She Patrick modeling
Pretty in Pink.
CDF is a 501(3) educational, nonproft foundation, explor-
ing the human potential through equines. Visit carpediemfarms.

Fortunate Friends at Forever Farm
C
ompassion and commitment are the qualities that defne
our mission at Friends for Life. Obviously it is compassion
for senior and special needs animals by our founder, Board
of Directors, and staf of the Forever Farm, that brings these ani-
mals into our care.
Even more important is our lifelong commitment to these
dogs, cats and horses that come to the Forever Farm. For the
few that are fortunate enough to fnd new homes, they are still
part of our family and are welcomed back at any time, for any
reason. Those who live out their lives with us, are provided the
best, most loving care, that we can provide.
Mindi and Millie recently came to us through the Asheville
Humane Society where they had been relinquished due to the
familys inability to continue to care for them. These amazing
girls had been riased together, since they were puppies, for
10 years. AHS kept them safe for three months hoping to fnd
them a home together. They were just about to split them up
when they were connected with Friends for Life. We agreed to
bring them to our sanctuary and keep them together forever.
Yes, they are available for adoption, but if that never hap-
pens, we are committed to keeping them together at the For-
ever Farm. Friends for Life is a 501(c)(3) nonproft charitable
organization and your donation to help us continue our mission
is tax deductible. Visit our website at friendsforlifeforeverfarm.

Nothing But the Tooth
S
o much of our over-
all health is directly
related to the health
of our teeth and gums.
Thats why the Rotary
Club of Highlands and
the Mountain Top Ro-
tary Club are happy to of-
fer free dental exams at
Highlands School.
This years annual oral
examination day was held
on Friday, May 2. Co-chairs
were Jerry Hermanson
and Brian McClelland. At-
tendees included Lester
Norris, Robert E. Smith,
Carole Oxford, Kyle Gar-
ner, Slocum Howland MD,
and Jim Rothermel MD
from the Highlands club; and Jerry Hermanson, Hillrie Quin,
Cherry Bittick, Tricia Wheeler, John Baumrucker MD, Dixie Bar-
ton, Pamela Harris, and Steve Mills from the Mountaintop Club.
Approximately 150 students (all of grades K-5) were exam-
ined by Dr. Bruce Walker and Dr. Bill Stiefel. Of those, over
90 percent are participating in our weekly Fluoride Rinse Pro-
gram. Those not doing so were identifed to their teachers
and encouraged to do
so, pending their parents
permission. The dentists
believe they are seeing a
signifcant reduction in de-
cay and overall improve-
ment in oral hygiene. We
brush our teeth: before
school, after school and
before we go to bed! is
the motto.
The dentists updated
the dental screening exam
form so it is a bit more
parent-friendly. Included
are: are you seeing a den-
tist regularly, reporting of
cavities, abscesses, ortho-
pedic need, and need to
see a dentist.
Photos were taken and sent to The Highlander. Articles were
sent to the District Newsletter, the Rotary International web-
site and respective clubs websites. Gift certifcates to a local
restaurant were given to the dentists in appreciation of their
time and eforts.
A good day was had by all. Thanks for your involvement, Ro-
tary of Highlands and Cashiers. We are making a diference!

Growing Brighter Futures
H
ow do the Big Brothers Big Sisters gardens grow?
With lots of curiosity, discovery, and pride.
Chocolate mint? Wow! Pineapple basil? It does smells
just like pineapple!
This spring is the start of our second year of growing herbs
and vegetables in two locations and in two diferent ways.
Due to a grant from the Community Foundation of Highlands,
the BBBS aeroponic tower garden is set and growing again on
The Bascom campus. Check it out when you visit -- you cant miss
it outside the kiln building.
On the Highlands School campus, two raised garden beds
show of a myriad of herbs and fowers. The raised garden
beds were made possible through support from the Mountain
Garden Club.
Both of these gardens are BBBS Positive Projects -- proj-
ects designed to give children in the program the chance to try
something new; new experiences that may tap sparks of inter-
est in them. Although BBBS is a one-on-one mentoring program,
throughout the year group projects or events are planned to en-
courage camaraderie, teamwork accomplishments, and always
to have fun. The gardens provide opportunities for self-expres-
sion and communication skills to blossom.
Last year, the kids made homemade organic pesto from the
garden harvests to sell at the Highlands Farmers Market. This
year agreements have been made with Cyprus and Lakeside Res-
taurants to use the herb produce at their restaurants. Another
great partnership between BBBS and the community!
A great quote from Steven Spielberg summarizes the essence
of Big Brothers Big Sisters, The delicate balance of mentoring
someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving
them the opportunity to create themselves.
BBBS of Highlands and BBBS of Cashiers are always in need
of mentors. There are children on the waiting lists hoping for
someone from the community to step forward and become a
Big Brother or Big Sister to them.
It is only a one hour a week commitment; one hour of having
fun and sharing adventures with a child. Enjoy the experience of
watching a child grow into the special person they were meant
to be. Little MomentsBig Magic.

bie Lassiter at (828) 526-4044 or highlands@bbbswnc.org, ca-

And the creative gene must have
been mighty strong, cause these la-
dies are talented! Ginny has always
loved sewing and having worked as
an accountant for years, develop-
ing an artistic outlet was essential.
The same is true for Diane who
was formerly an R.N.. She has vi-
sion, she has goals, and she knows how to bring them together.
So stitch together the know-how and inspiration of both sisters
and the fnal result is Bee Bags and Such.
Functional art at its fnest, their leather bags are made in
house from some of the most sensuous leather youll ever see
and smell. And the colors! Not only are there cognacs and tobac-
cos, but also turquoise, navy, and ruby red! They have a wide as-
sortment of stones and silver con-
chos to accent each bag, too.
Bee Bags come in sizes includ-
ing: the Bee Smart a smart phone
holder with included strap that has
plenty of room for your car keys
and credit cards, the Bee Pad a
roomy tote for a tablet with a zip-
pered pocket on the outside, and a
larger size for your laptop as well.
All are customizable. They call it
BYOB - Build Your Own Bag. If you
dont like the decorative accent
no problem! Want a bag in a dif-
ferent color? Done! All the work is
done in Cashiers by Diane and Gin-
ny plus three helpers. The leather
is purchased in Boone, and stones in Brevard, so were talking

a construction company; It was on one of those trips that she
realized what was to happen next. After several trips to High-
lands, they found what they were looking for: a blank canvas
at 205 South Fourth Street. The Martins created a bistro-like
atmosphere downstairs with living quarters upstairs.
High Cotton Wine and Cheese Co. is a family operated busi-
ness where they all do a bit of everything. The sandwiches on
the menu are named after the family - even Astro, the dog. In
the two months since opening, theyve already developed a
loyal following. Whether its Sherrys famous homemade des-
serts or her pimiento
cheese and chicken
salad, theyve had
customers come
back day after day.
Each and every des-
sert is made in house
and they happily
accommodate spe-
cial orders for birth-
days, dinner parties
and picnics.
High Cotton Wine
and Cheese Co. of-
fers charcuterie and
cheese boards, des-
serts, sandwiches
and of course wine.
They even have a
small but diverse re-
tail ofering includ-
ing gift bags, serv-
ing pieces, Peets
cofee and Sallies
Greatest Jams.
Located next to the Gem Shop and across from the Old Ed-
wards Inn and Spa on Fourth Street, you can sit at a window ta-
ble and watch the world go by. There is also a gorgeous cherry
wood bar that lends itself to a leisurely meal, a glass of wine or
beer, and dessert and cofee.
Open year round, the Martins welcome the community to
Highland Cotton Wine and Cheese Co. Theyre open Monday
Wednesday, 11:00 A.m. to 8:00 P.M.; Thursday Saturday, 11:00
A.M.- 9:00 A.M. and Sundays noon - 4:00 P.M.

Your Go-To Garden Guy
W
hat does the old Highlands mean to you? Well, to
Selwyn Chalker of Main Street Nursery, it means cus-
tomer service. It means considering his friends to be
those folks that live here year round and those who come back
year after year.
Chalker has lived in Highlands for nearly 30 years and has
been involved in the gardening and landscape business for 13
seasons. This year, he decided it was time to reclaim a long-time
nursery site on Main Street. Its across from the Highlands
Post Ofce and you cant miss it. The rich purples, bright golden
yellows and vibrant greens lure you to come in and play.
Chalker believes that good begets good. His philosophy
shows with each and every interaction whether it be with a
knowledgable gardener or novice. Each of his fve staf mem-
bers has worked in the industry and is ready to answer your
questions so you can play in the dirt. Playing in the dirt is just
what Selwyn loves. Having worked inside since 2001 hes ec-
static to be out in the fresh mountain air. Who doesnt love
being outside in Highlands, he asks. As you wander through
the lush landscapes of hydrangeas, geraniums and evergreens
you have to agree.
Selwyn remembers when folks would stop by a business
just to chat and encourages customers to do exactly that. Hes
never too busy to discuss what goes into making a successful
garden and understands the mountain plateaus special needs.
Main Street Nursery is his passion and it shows. Open seven
days a week from April through October, youll fnd he and his
staf ready to serve. He is a hands-on proprietor and does it all.
Hours are Monday through Saturday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. and
Sundays, Noon to 4:00 P.M.
Stop by today and see what Old Highlands means to Sel-
wyn Chalker and his staf at Main Street Nursery.

Mountain Paws

and little feet scurrying to Highlands newest pet boutique,
Highlands Mountain Paws, located at 390 Main Street. Ben
and Mia Nelson recognized that Highlands is a very pet friendly
town, and also a great place to raise children. From this love of
Highlands, children and pets, the idea of the local pet boutique was
born and has taken shape. This delightful store welcomes people
of all ages as well as well-behaved pets.
On any afternoon you might fnd someone running in on their
lunch break to fnd that perfect pet shampoo for their dog; young
boys bringing their new puppy in to visit, socialize, and work on its
puppy manners; wide eyed toddlers mesmerized by colorful dis-
plays graced by stufed animals of all shapes and sizes; or, a well-
heeled poodle looking for the latest in pet bling. It is impossible
not to take time to stop and smell the gourmet dog biscuits in this
store and enjoy all that it has to ofer. You might fnd yourself strik-
ing up a conversation with the shopper next to you or sharing a
belly laugh with the giggling child who is eye to eye with a giant,
sunglass bespectacled stufed golden retriever outftted in the lat-
est dog back pack, ready for a hike on our mountain trails. Humor
awaits around every corner, whether emblazoned on a t-shirt or a
wall plaque, or in the delight of fellow shoppers.
The Nelsons recognize that our pets are an important part of
our lives and they have everything we need to keep them happy,
healthy, well groomed and well accessorized. From basic necessi-
ties such as collars, leashes, bowls, and harnesses, to couture dog
apparel and bling, you will fnd it here. They stock an amazing ar-
ray of grooming products, and their gourmet treat section features
