Guice speaks to new political action committeeby Samantha Hurst

Rep. David Guice spoke of a “changed Raleigh” to members of the newly formed Foothills Conservative Political Action Committee (FCPAC) during the group’s monthly meeting Sept. 6 in Tryon.

“We absolutely are doing some good work in Raleigh,” Guice said. “It’s been a different place, my friends.”

In January, Republicans in North Carolina took full control of both the House and Senate for the first time since 1870. Guice

thanked voters in the room for giving conservative leaders a chance to “clean the barn out.”

“We were about to come together for the first time in the House on a budget that the Senate


Making molasses in Polk Countyby Leah Justice

At one time in Polk County, there probably weren’t many households that weren’t stocked with jars of molasses. Most families either made it or helped another family make it in exchange for a few jars.

The Polk County Historical Association met Tuesday, Sept. 6 and reviewed the process and history of making molasses and sorghum in Polk County.

The Haynes family, which has made molasses in Polk County for at least five generations, processes the cane for a batch. General Haynes was referred to in the area as the “guru” of making molasses for many years. The family still makes molasses locally. (photos submitted by Floyd Haynes).

The panel of speakers includ-ed Mabel Searcy Carlyle, Ray Hudson and Lewis Williams, all of whom grew cane and/or made molasses and sorghum.

Hudson recently interviewed Lloyd Haynes, whose father, General Haynes, was once known as the “guru” of molasses making in Polk County. General Haynes would bring everything needed to make molasses to certain families who grew cane and cooked it on their property.

Hudson said his family grew cane every year and would plant by the new moon in June and harvest in the fall. He said some secrets to the planting were that not much fertilizer was needed and they never planted it thick.

Carlyle said you don’t want rich soil to grow cane. Cane grows better in poor soil, she said, which is the reason it grows so well in Polk County.

Williams also said his daddy

• Making molasses(Continued from page 1)


always planted the cane in narrow rows, and every family had its favorite variety of cane. He said some of his first memories were of thinning the cane.

The process of making mo-lasses and sorghum is tedious,

which is probably why home-made molasses is now hard to find, panel members said.

The cane is thinned and cut, then pressed, cooked and filtered through different stages. Horses or mules were used years ago to

turn the press. Williams said the preparation included everything from taking the wheels off the wagon to soak them in the creek, putting new shoes on the horses

or mules and collecting firewood to cook the molasses.

“It was a long day’s work,” Williams said. “We were up be-fore daylight grinding and made it into the night.”

Williams said the children would go into the woods to find pine knots to build a fire over the pan so they could see at night.

Carlyle said wood for the cooking fire had to be collected a year ahead of time because the fire had to be really hot.

“There was a lot of work up front to get ready,” said Carlyle.

Speakers also talked about how difficult and painful it was to harvest the cane because of a stinging insect called a pack saddle, which lived on the cane.

Historical association presi-dent Anna Conner, who moder-ated the event, said she was astonished at the amount of work making molasses takes. She said she remembers children being out of school for weeks during harvest time.

“What an art this had to be,” said Conner. “You had to make sure it was ready to be pressed, had to filter it and had to make sure the heat was right to cook.”

“Skimmings” are taken off the top of the liquid during the cooking process, and most of the speakers said they dumped the skimmings into a hole dug behind

the cooker, called a skimming hole. Cows and pigs ate some of the skimmings, but Carlyle said most of the skimmings “went in the hole,” because giving the animals too much sugar made them sick.

Williams and Carlyle talked about the importance of molasses during WWII, when sugar was rationed and molasses was an alternate sweetener. Carlyle said she was raised with eight children, and her family kept molasses to eat as well as sold some of it.

“We knew if it were a birthday, we’d be having gingerbread cake (made with molasses),” Carlyle said.

Hudson, however, said his Daddy always told him molasses was too expensive to keep and eat.

Conner said the art of making molasses took the whole family, friends and the neighbors pitch-ing in to accomplish. Carlyle said making molasses was a social gathering as neighbors would come over at night to sit and talk.

“If you got the kind you all used to make now, you couldn’t afford it,” Conner said. “What you buy in the grocery store is not recognizable. It’s hard to find homemade molasses anymore.”

The historical association event ended with the audience tasting sorghum, brought by Carlyle, and shoofly pie, made by Conner’s sister using mo-lasses.

sent back with few changes. Then the governor vetoed our budget, but we were able to work with enough people across that aisle to overturn that veto.”

Republicans and a handful of Democrats have overturned multiple vetoes from Gov. Bev Purdue, Guice said, including bills regarding medical reform, abortion, Medicaid health choice reform and unemployment tax paid by employers.

Representatives return to ses-sion Monday, Sept. 12.

Among the topics set for discussion is the Defense of Mar-riage Act, also vetoed by Purdue, Guice said.

“All we’re asking for is you the citizen to have the right to vote; for you the citizen to have the right to vote whether you think a marriage should be between a man and a woman,” he said.

Guice and members of FCPAC also conversed about immigration, the Voter I.D. Bill and redistricting.

FCPAC member Cheryl Ev-ery said the energy brewing within the new committee ex-cites her.

“This is about engaging more people in the political world,” Every said. “When we’re out in the community people are talking about politics. I get stuck at the grocery store talking about it. So, we felt we needed a social way for conservatives to come together and talk about their

concerns.”The group formed three

months ago and has since grown to about 30 regular attendees at its monthly dinner meetings. The group will continue to meet the first Tuesday of every month, with the next meeting scheduled for Oct. 4 at the clubhouse at Tryon Country Club.

Next month’s speaker will be Karen Duquette from The Civitas Institute. Duquette is considered a healthcare legislation expert within the organization.

An annual membership fee is required. Every said a majority of the funds will be used directly to back conservative candidates in local elections.

“When I came onto the coun-cil, Columbus was having trouble

living within its means. I feel like we’ve done a lot of good work and the town is in really good shape,” Gage said. “Now, I’m looking at the county. I feel I can make a real difference there.”

a higher office in November 2012 when he did not attempt to qual-ify as a candidate for this year’s municipal elections. Three Co-lumbus town council seats are open this year, but because only three citizens qualified – Ernie Kahn, Richard Hall and Ricky McAllister – those individuals will automatically obtain those seats unopposed.

FCPAC organizer Cheryl Every congratulated Gage on his announcement.

“We know what a good job you’ve done for the town of Columbus and that you are very fiscally conservative, and that is what we are looking for,” Every said.

Gage said he feels the county needs to get back to what the people want for Polk County.

“The biggest problem right now is the respect for the people – that is my biggest problem with the commission,” he said. “I feel like the community voices its opinion but they aren’t always listened to.”

Gage said he also feels like not all of the county commis-sion’s business actions are ap-propriate. For example, he feels the plans for the new DSS build-ing could have been handled differently to consolidate and keep costs lower. He said in that respect it’s important to take a look at all departments for room to consolidate. He said he feels commissioners like Tom Pack have brought similar ideas to the table but have been ignored.

“[The commissioners] also have a problem respecting each other. I think if you sit on that board, no matter what party you are, everyone should have a voice and be able to be heard out,” Gage said.

Gage said he doesn’t feel the county is in poor shape, but he said there is always room for improvement, especially in the area of listening to one another and the community. He said when Columbus began doing so, it improved the track the city was headed down.

I was sitting in my office in downtown Knoxville, Tenn. It was 8:55 a.m. Sud-denly people started pouring out of the federal courthouse across the street. Police cars and fire engines screamed to a stop at every entrance. It was Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2001.

I walked outside to ask if there was a fire in the courthouse only to learn of the unfolding tragedy oc-curring in New York.

Back inside, we quickly pulled out an old television and managed to pick up the local CBS affiliate just in time to see an airliner hit the second tower.

While the diocesan staff and a handful of federal workers watched in tears and disbelief, the horrific

morning unfolded in pain-fully slow motion. We heard about the Pentagon attack, saw the towers fall and learned about the heroic efforts of the passengers of Flight 93 in Pennsylvania, all through a cloud of an-guish.

Next door to the diocesan offices, the dean opened St. John’s Cathedral and a great many sought solace there in prayer and quiet. The clergy from the cathedral, First Baptist Church on the other side of the courthouse and nearby Church Street United Methodist Church offered what comfort we could, prayed with those who were frightened and prayed for those caught up in the maelstrom of fire and

collapsing buildings.I was especially fright-

ened for my seminary classmate, the Rev. Lyndon Harris, who was vicar of St. Paul’s Church, directly across the street from the twin towers, and it was not until that evening when I saw him in a newscast working with rescuers that I knew he was safe.

The question everyone was asking was, “Why?” Why would anyone do that? Why did God let it happen? Why were my friends/fam-ily targeted? Why? It was not easy to be a clergyperson of any tradition that day. There is no simple answer to the “Why?”

The short, sound-bite answer many of us fell back on in those days was, “God gives human beings

free will to do good or to do evil. When we choose to do evil the suffering we cause is like a stone thrown into a pond of still water – it spreads until everything around it is affected. It was not God who did this. It was evil in the hearts, minds and souls of human beings that caused not just us pain, but God pain as well.”

We are approaching the 10th anniversary of that dreadful day. Some of our “Why?” questions have been answered by politi-cians and cultural anthro-pologists, and while some religious traditions claim that the events of Sept. 11, 2001 were divine retribu-tion, most of us recognize it for what it really was – human anger, turned to hate, turned to evil, turned

TPS offers figure drawing workshops Thursdays, Saturdays

NAMI crisis intervention team training Oct. 31-Nov. 4

Tryon Painters and Sculptors announces Thursday night and Saturday morning figure draw-ing workshops at the group’s new space at 26 Maple Street in Tryon, beginning Sept. 8 and Sept. 10.

Both figure studios offer three-hour sessions featuring the undraped human figure. The Thursday night studio runs from 7-10 p.m. Mike McCarthy will monitor this class and can be reached at 828-859-9963.

The Saturday morning studio run from 9 a.m. to noon and is overseen by Dick Neff, whose number is 864-915-3144.

One of the regular members said, “Every autobiography, blog or instruction manual I have ever read in the field of art states clearly the importance of drawing from life at least once

a week.” TPS’ new space is located

about a half block west on Trade Street in Tryon, just past the light overseen by Morris the Horse. TPS is three doors down between the Village Book Shoppe and Brock’s Cleaners.

The new TPS studio includes a gallery open Thursday through Saturday, 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. There is also a sculptor’s studio with a high-tech kiln and ample work-ing space. TPS’ opening show in the gallery is a members’ show featuring an array of home-grown talent.

Space for these two sessions is limited so if you are not a “regu-lar” it would be best to call ahead for a reservation. Models needed; please call 864-915-3144.

NAMI Four Seasons has worked for three years with Western Highlands LME, N.C. affiliates, community and law enforcement agencies to de-velop and advocate for a crisis intervention team (CIT) train-ing class. In November 2010 NAMI Four Seasons and NAMI TransylvaniaTA hosted their first CIT class.

NAMI Four Seasons will host the second CIT training class, which will be held at the Blue Ridge Community College from Oct. 31 – Nov. 4. These classes are taught by trained instructors and incorporate providers, people with mental disabilities and fam-ily members. Two CIT officers from the Hendersonville Police Department will assist in teach-ing the class.

Four CIT officers will speak at the general NAMI meeting on Saturday, Sept. 17 about their

experiences in using CIT training on the job. The meeting is open to the public. For more informa-tion, call Barbara Smith at 828-272-5080.

NAMI Four Seasons will also host a fundraising event Saturday, Oct. 8 at Bo Thomas Auditorium, Blue Ridge Community College.

Pete Earley, author of the book “Crazy: A Father’s Search Through America’s Mental Health Madness,” will be the keynote speaker.

Proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to promote and ad-vocate CIT training for more law enforcement, jail staff, dispatch-ers, emergency service providers, judicial community, local elected officials and others.

Polk extension center teaches kudzu uses“As the tendrils crawl over the

fields, The night the kudzu has, Your pasture, you sleep like the dead.” – James Dickey.

We all know about kudzu, but what can you do with that pesky vine, besides cuss at it? Find out on Sept. 14 at the extension office. The Polk County Extension Center will be offering a class on “The Good Uses of Kudzu.”

Edith Edwards of Rutherfordton has found many uses for kudzu over the past 30 years. Edwards will demonstrate how she makes deep-fried kudzu leaves, kudzu quiche and many other kudzu dishes. She found recipes in “The Book of Kudzu: A Culinary and Healing Guide” by William Shurtleff and Akiko Aoyagi, and thought this was a good use for a plentiful resource.

Edwards and her husband Henry have used kudzu as livestock feed on their farm since the 1960s. She has demonstrated kudzu cooking for clubs, schools and visitors to the Knoxville World’s Fair.

The kudzu class is Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 2 p.m. Call the Polk County Cooperative Extension Center at 828-894-8218 to register for the class.
