Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and governmental organizations:

The origins of steeplechasing in Tryon didn’t begin with the Block House Races, but it was started by the same man, Carter P. Brown. Inspired by his partici-pation as a jockey in the fledgling Carolina Cup in Camden, Brown founded “The March Hare.” This race continued until the outbreak of World War II when the less than stellar trophy of a battered tin cup was retired.

AmeriCorps Project Conserve tours Polk County farmsThis past Monday, the Ameri-

Corps Project Conserve team of about 30 members came down to visit Polk County farms and the Mill Spring Ag Center and learn more about local food and sustain-able farming in Western North Carolina. Mill Spring Ag Cen-ter AmeriCorps member Laura Brookshire led the group to Em-erald Springs Farm owned by Bill and Lee Barker, Restoration Farm owned by Dawn Jordan and Leap Farm owned by Lee Mink. The group ended the day by inoculat-ing shiitake mushroom logs with the help of Vaughn Loeffler and touring the Mill Spring Ag Center.

ing residents said years ago they wanted Columbus to slow down on annexing any more properties into the small town.

“There was so much contro-versy when they first got annexed,” Kan said. “People asked us please, no more annexing until we know what they (Foster Creek develop-ers) are doing.”

But other council members said this particular annexation is not comparing apples to apples. Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre said this annexation was discussed when Foster Creek was planned and the town wouldn’t be consid-ering the annexation now if the property owners were willing to sell initially.

“I don’t know…if this is com-paring apples to apples or not,” McIntyre said. “if it were across town it would be different. Foster Creek is already there. They are not buying a piece of property across the street.”

The property annexed is con-tiguous to Foster Creek.

“If (the property owner) would have sold it initially we wouldn’t be here today because it would have been in their initial plans,” said McIntyre.

Kan said she was on the plan-ning board at that time and she was really hearing what people were saying and that’s what they asked.

McIntyre said this particular piece of property has always

• Foster Creek(Continued from page 1)

been in discussion. Properties like Giardini’s, who requested to be an-nexed, are different, McIntyre said.

Columbus denied Giardini’s restaurant twice in recent years, saying residents did not want the town to grow anymore.

Councilman Richard Hall said some things make sense and some things you stand on principle.

“This makes sense,” Hall said.“I’m just saying what people

said,” Kan said. “That’s all I can do.”

Following the annexation to the over 1,000-acre proposed subdivi-sion off Houston Road, developers plan to seek a special use permit from the town for the new parcel to match the current zoning, which includes cluster development.

Foster Creek attorney Alan Peterson attended the council meeting and was the only one to speak during the public hearing. Peterson said the owners acquired the Staggs’ property in December and were asking for the annexa-tion so it will become a part of Foster Creek Preserve. He also said developers will not be asking for the density of the proposed subdivision to increase due to the new annexation.

Foster Creek, owned by Forest City Land Group is a planned 687 dwelling unit subdivision, now located on over 1,065 acres. The town approved the master plan in 2009, a special use permit in 2010 and a development agreement in 2011.

Landrum mother charged in 2-year old son’s death

A Landrum mother has been charged with homicide by child neglect and unlawful neglect of a child following her 2-year old son being killed after a dresser fell on him, according to Greenville County Sheriff reports.

Margie Elizabeth Shaver, 27, of 27 Laurinda Lane was charged last week along with Christopher Jerome Shaver, 30, who was charged with child neglect, accord-ing to reports.

Authorities said Christoper

Shaver was not home when the incident occurred.

Chandler’s death occurred at the couple’s home about 11:30 p.m. on March 12. A Greenville County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson said. The noise from the incident was loud enough to hear, but no action according to reports.

The couple’s other child, a daughter, age 4, was also injured in the incident and is currently in the care of the department of social services.

Sprague is currently in the fourth year of

supervising Project Conserve members with the Office of Ag Economic Development and said he feels that having members has been very beneficial.

“AmeriCorps members reach out to the com-munity in ways that I can’t al-ways do, espe-cially through the use of social media,” Sprague said. They have been crucia l in organizing programs and workshops at

the Ag Center and bringing the community in. They also bring the energy of a younger genera-tion which helps bridge the gap between the older and newer gen-erations of farmers in the county.”

Her unex-pected death is suspected to have been from cancer, accord-ing to sheriff’s officers.

Trixie was trained in nar-cotics and article searches. Trixie was donated to the Polk sheriff’s office and in her one year of ser-vice there she received national certifications with the North American Police Work Dog As-sociation and the National Nar-cotic Detector Dog Association.

Trixie was credited with

• Trixie(Continued from page 1)

seizing approximately $35,000 in drug seizures during her Polk County career.

“She will be greatly missed by officers with the sheriff’s office and by many children she visited at the local schools as an educational tool,” said Polk

County Sheriff Donald Hill.

The sheriff said he hopes to raise enough money f rom donations and fundraisers to f ind another K-9 in the near future. Trixie was one of two K-9s a t t he

for the calls and support from the community in support of Deputy Russell during this difficult time and who have asked how they can help in the sheriff’s office’s fundraising goals.

The Pitfalls of Annuities

22 Depot St., Tryon ● 828-859-7001

The rambling 1928 Craftsman bungalow on Lake Lanier known as Rock Crest is the house that a local physician chose as “The One” when he came back to the area to open up his medical practice.

His bungalow is one of only two or three built on Lake Lanier in 1928, then the depression hit and building stopped on the lake until the 1950s.

Old houses seem to acquire a soul while surviving their ram-bling histories and this home is no exception. While in “shambles” when the owner acquired it - walls in dire need of painting, chopped up rooms and the view of the lake from the stone terrace was obscured by trees and vines al-lowed to grow out of control. The owner enlisted the help of designer Stephen Shadley, a family friend, to redesign, but, keep the integrity of what was once a simple little bungalow. The resulting additions proceeded in meticulous fashion and look original to the home.

The owner is a prodigious collector and has decorated his home with inherited furniture and heirlooms as well as objects that he collected during his years abroad with the Peace Corps. The ceilings had to be raised two feet to allow for the antique bookcases as well as the enormous elephant umbrella from Nepal. Room was created for the Whitney piano, whose action was built by his great-grandfather. Alvin Whit-ney’s old mahogany workbench has a place in the sitting room. The master bathroom sink is from the Grove Park Inn. The dining room table was brought over from India by the owner’s brother who was in the Foreign Service.

The many antiques and col-lectibles both local and from overseas have given the home’s timeworn look and visitors will be in for a treat when they visit this historical bungalow on Lake Lanier, one of five homes on this years’ home tour.

The Tour of Homes, presented as a fundraiser by The Green Blades Garden Club, will be held

Rock Crest featured on tour of homes

on Saturday, April 13. Hours of the tour are 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

Tickets may be purchased at PJ Fashion and Expressions Florist in Landrum, Down to Earth Garden Center in Tryon, The Garden Patch and Flower Cottage in Columbus, Kathleen’s Gallery in Saluda, The Wrinkled Egg in Flat Rock and the Silver Fox in Hendersonville.

On the day of the tour, tickets will be sold at each of the homes as well as the Park on Trade. Parking will be available at Stone Hedge, vans for transportation to the Lake Lanier home will be available at the Tryon Antique Mall shop-ping center near the Lake Lanier entrance and parking for the Byrd house will be available at Urgent

Medical Care.Go to www.greenbladesgar-

Dr. Terry Hall is having a book signing for his book, “A Matter Of Conscience,” a pre-Civil War tale at The Book Shelf located at 94 Trade St., in Tryon. He will also give a short presentation at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 30, about folk stories. This is a free event. Light refreshments served.

“A Matter of Conscience” is the story of a young man’s journey through the most turbu-lent years this country has ever experienced. Growing up on the Cumberland River in south central Kentucky in the mid 19th century, Martin, accepted slavery as a normal part of life.

fJoy Southern, owner of Getfitted Boutique in the Shops of Tryon, recently joined the Foothills Chamber of Commerce, and a ribbon cutting was held to welcome them in to membership. Getfitted Boutique specializes in professional alterations for bridal, prom and any other event. Southern has over 20 years of experience in alterations, has many prom and event dresses, and also wedding gowns in her new shop, along with shoes, jewelry and accessories. Pictured are Ethan Waldman of Tryon Federal Bank, Kathy Toomey of New View Realty, Nee Soulisa, Joy Southern and Chamber executive director Janet Sciacca.

Chamber Welcomes a new Member

Although the river was somewhat of a dividing line between large Tennessee plantation farmers who owned slaves, and Ken-tucky farmers who had no need for slaves on their small farms across the river, arguments often ended in bloodshed as hotheaded men took the law into their own

hands and spoke with a gun and a knife. Martin, a man of peace, only wished to be left alone to raise his growing family, but fate intervened and he was thrust headlong into the bubbling brew that became known as the Civil War.

call 828-859-9151.The Landrum Garden Club met

March 14 at the home of Joyce Prince; attendance was small but strong in motivation.

Charlotte Kale-Hamrick pro-vided background on the history of the Landrum Garden Club. It was founded in 1950, and at the time there were approximately five other garden clubs in the area. The group is delighted to say their’s has survived the test of time.

In attendance were the fol-lowing members: Prince, Kale-Hamrick, Linda Warren, Janie Giles, Phelecia Corpening, Jerry Attwood, Magdalene Bradey and vice president Peggie Armstrong.

The group discussed its con-tinued maintenance of the flower boxes at Operation Hope on Main Street Landrum, and from the his-tory session decided to rebirth its planting of the Pink Dogwood Tree.

In the past, the club has planted this tree in memory of a past mem-ber, and the group voted to plant a tree as close to Arbor Day as time will permit. The Landrum Garden Club invites the public to submit a public place that will grant the club permission to plant a pink dogwood.

The group will draw one place to plant the dogwood from the submissions received at the next meeting, to be held at Howard Giles home on April 12. Entries are to be submitted by April 11 to [email protected]. Club members look forward to hearing from readers.

The Bird Box

by Simon Thompson

Every year we make a pilgrim-age just east of the mountains to Cleveland County, a predominant-ly rural and agricultural county set just south of the mountains. With a few old cotton gins and dilapidated barns around, this is a perfect area to find Barn Owls and other birds of open country habitats.

Again this year we had a spectacular spring day on our annual Barn Owl Venture. We all met just this side of Shelby, NC early in the somewhat cold hours of the morning. Thankfully we were promised a gorgeous day in the mid 60’s. We started our day ex-ploring a stand of older trees that has in the past held Red-headed Woodpeckers. We did not find the woodpeckers, but did have a great start to the day with great views of several Fox Sparrows, a pair of singing Brown Thrashers and

both Kinglets. A nearby farm pond surprised

us with a large flock of Lesser Scaup along with three Gadwall and one single male ring-necked duck. A nearby, very well-main-tained Purple Martin colony of Purple Martins had at least 15 early arrivals which soared over-

head and drank at the nearby pond.

The village of Lattimore, just west of Shelby, is a beautiful and quiet collection of buildings that

time has almost forgotten and the perfect base to explore the sur-rounding fields. Here we found some of the classic country birds that we were looking for such as Loggerhead Shrike, Ameri-can Kestrel and White-crowned Sparrow. Lunch was back in down-town Lattimore where we enjoyed our picnic lunch along the

roadside on this beautiful spring day before heading across the county to Delight Road where we had good, but brief views of a pair of beautiful Barn Owls.

The Barn Owl is found throughout the world. It is widely distributed in both tropical and temperate regions and within this wide range the Barn Owl has had a long history of relationships with humans. In England, Barn Owls are associated with churchyards and in the Netherlands these valuable birds are encouraged to

• Bird Box(Continued from page 14)

nest in farms and orchards to help keep the rodent population under control. Despite this ancient con-nection with man, the Barn Owl is declining within the United States and worldwide. Much of this is connected with the removal of dead trees, old barns and other suitable nesting sites. However, good populations of these birds still exist in certain parts of the Carolinas, such as Cleveland County and other mostly rural ar-eas. Small numbers of this highly distinctive owl are even found in Henderson County, as well as other areas of North Carolina, although their current stronghold

may be the old cotton growing areas of the state.

To even get a brief glimpse of these beautiful owls was a bonus. It was certainly a great early spring day in the Piedmont!

Simon Thompson has lived in WNC for the past 20 years. He owns and operates his own birding tour company, Ventures Birding Tours. www.birdventures.com

He and Chris also own and operate the Asheville Wild Birds Unlimited Store. For more in-formation on any of the birding activities in the area, drop by the store or check his website at www.asheville.wbu.com.

check in and start the approximately one-hour drive to the trailhead. Hikers should wear appropriate clothing and footwear; bring a bag lunch and/or snack and plenty of water. Please be sure to bring any personal medication that you may require. Hikers should be prepared to return to the area by 3 p.m., at the latest. In case of inclement weather, please contact the PAC office by 8:15 a.m. on the day of the hike to see if the hike will take place.

If you cannot make this hike but would like to attend future hikes, please visit PACs website, www.pacolet.org, or go to PACs Facebook page, www.facebook.com/pacoletarea.conservancy, for information on upcoming hikes. The next hike is scheduled for April 12 at Table Rock State Park to Bald

and plan to join PAC for the upcom-ing ninth annual PACWalk for Pres-ervation and third annual PACRun 5K Trail Run on Saturday, May 4. The event will be held at Tryon Es-tates, 619 Laurel Lake Dr., Colum-bus.

PAC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit conservation organization (land trust) founded in 1989 to protect and conserve the area’s natural resources (PAC’s mission). PAC

works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agree-ments) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their prop-erty, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wild-life habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain significant federal, state and local tax benefits. PAC’s vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural heritage and a goal to provide a legacy that will endure and be valued by gen-erations to come.

PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conserva-tion and provide education pro-grams emphasizing responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love.
