Giardini’s restaurant asks again for Columbus annexation by Leah Justice

Giardini Trattoria, a restau-rant between Columbus and Mill Spring, has requested to be vol-untarily annexed into Columbus.

Columbus Town Council May 17 agreed to have the town clerk investigate the sufficiency of the petition. Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said the town will not hold a public hearing on the issue until July.

This is the second annexation request restaurant owners Joe

and Mary Laudisio have made in the past two years. The town denied the request last January.

At that time, council mem-bers said Columbus residents have said over the past couple of years they do not want to grow. Specifically, councilman Mi-chael Gage said he was against adding properties to town limits because he hears from residents that if the town can’t take care of what it already has, it shouldn’t increase its size.

The Laudisios said last year they want to be a part of Co-lumbus to obtain town services such as police protection. The restaurant did not request water and sewer services last year. If the restaurant’s request were granted, it would involve a sat-ellite annexation – annexation of a property not contiguous with current town limits. With satellite annexations, the town is not required to extend water and sewer services.

Giardini’s is located 1.6 miles from the town limits and 0.9 miles from the service station across from Polk County High School, which is in town limits as a result of a satellite annexation.

Giardini’s, whose address is 2411 N.C. 108E, is an Italian restaurant and gardens. The res-taurant currently offers brown bagging for beer and wine ser-vices, but if it were annexed into Columbus, the restaurant could apply for a state alcohol license.

Local students graduate from Gardner-WebbGardner-Webb University re-

cently held its 2011 spring com-mencement exercises with a total of 436 graduates. Local graduates included the following:

• Jane Leonard of Columbus, who received a B.S.N. degree in nursing;

• Mary Stephens of Columbus, who graduated Magna Cum Laude

with a B.S. degree in business ad-ministration;

• Bridget Johnson of Mill Spring, who graduated with a B.S. degree in accounting;

• Kristin Whitmire of Mill Spring, who graduated with a B.S. degree in elementary education;

• Reba Williams of Mill Spring, who graduated with a B.S.N. degree

in nursing;• Hannah Edwards of Saluda,

who graduated with a B.A. degree in English.

On and Off”). There was an 18-year hiatus between the third and fourth books.

“By the time I had written the fourth one, tastes in mysteries had changed. They wanted sex and violence, not kitty-cat stories. Gore was not my style, so I just forgot about ‘The Cat Who.’ I had a full-time job on a newspaper and it was exciting and I had a wonder-ful social life, so who needed it?”

She resumed the series, with the encouragement of her husband, Earl Bettinger, after her retirement from the Detroit Free Press.

Berkley Publishing Group reintroduced Braun to the public with the publication of the fourth in the series, “The Cat Who Saw Red” in 1986. Within two years,

Berkeley released four new novels and reprinted the three mysteries from the 1960s. G.P. Putnam’s Sons has since published 21 “The Cat Who” novels, one each year through 2007.

“The Cat Who” novels, con-sidered light, humorous myster-ies, have been translated into 16 languages, distributed worldwide and sold in the millions. Her books were standards on the New York Times bestseller list. Beginning in 1990, her books reached the presti-gious list for 20 consecutive years.

Through 29 books, avid read-ers followed the lives of Jim Qwilleran and his mystery-solving Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum, and the quirky characters of Moose County, 400 miles north of everywhere.

• Braun(Continued from page 1)


“Booklist” commented on “The Cat Who” series, “With its familiar characters, cozy plots and happy endings, this series remains as comforting as a warm cat in your lap on a rainy day.”

Braun often said her characters and settings were composites of people and places she knew. She made her protagonist a male with a moustache so that people would not think her fiction was autobio-graphical.

Often asked where the fictional Moose County really was, Braun would say, “In my head. It can be anywhere you want it to be.“

Of her mystery-solving Sia-mese cat, Koko, she said, “When your detective is a cat you are somewhat limited. He doesn’t speak English, doesn’t leap tall buildings like Supercat, he just does what a normal cat would do. But there are things he does that draw attention to clues that solve the mystery. So you have to begin

with something a cat will do that will reveal a clue, and develop it from there. Of course, when you are writing about a cat solving mysteries you can’t be entirely serious.”

She wrote all of her books in longhand and then typed them herself. They were published with limited editing.

“I don’t pay any attention to the publishing business,” Braun said. “I just write my kitty-cat stories.”

Braun (who once wrote “A dog has his day, but cats have 365”) retired from writing in 2007 after the publication of “The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers.”

Lilian Jackson Braun Bettinger was born on June 20, 1913 in Willimansette, Chicopee Falls, Mass. Her father, Charles Jackson, was an inventor and industrial manufacturing troubleshooter. Her mother, Clara Ward Jackson, was a homemaker. Her father’s work took them to Rhode Island, Brook-lyn, N.Y., and Detroit, Mich. Braun lived in Michigan until retiring to North Carolina.

Braun inherited her mother’s storytelling talent.

“My mother could describe a trip to the grocery story and make it sound hilarious,” she said.

Writing was a lifelong passion. “I always wrote, first for fun, then for an advertising job, then for a newspaper and then for ‘The Cat Who’ readers,” she said.

After a short stint as a waitress (lasting less than a week), Braun went to work for Detroit depart-ment stores, beginning as a copy-writer and ending as the director of public relations.

She took time off to write her first three books and then accepted a position as the “The Good Liv-ing” editor for the Detroit Free Press. She wrote feature articles on interior design, art and ar-chitecture, as well as reviews of kitchen gadgets and other house-hold products. She remained with The Detroit Free Press for almost 30 years, retiring in 1978.

While working in advertising, Braun designed a house for her parents. She secured the loan, pro-

vided the architects with the design and had the house custom built in Dearborn, Mich. It was the first time her parents lived in their own home. They resided there until their deaths.

In 2005, the Polk County Public Library in Columbus held a tribute to Braun for her lifetime achievement and community involvement. It was an evening of song, limericks, readings and tributes. Braun served as the honorary writer in residence for the library as well as honorary chairperson of the 2005 library card sign-up campaign, for which she created the tag line, “A library card is the beginning of a lifelong adventure.”

Braun was preceded in death by her husband, Louis Paul Braun, sis-ter, Florence Jackson, and brother, Lloyd Jackson. She is survived by her husband of 32 years, Earl Bettinger.

According to her obituary (see page 11), no memorial services will be held. Donations may be made to Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum.

Humane Society and pets,” McCullough said. “I’m an art-ist who’s been away from art… and so I felt this would be a good way to help.”

The program launched with a focus on water-colors May 7.

McCullough said GAP aims to attract nov-ice artists and thereby height-en their self-c o n f i d e n c e . Leathers said giving his ar-tistic side room to grow has al-lowed him to feel better about himself.

“I don’t know that much about art,” Leathers said. “But I was at the ag center straight-ening up the room one day and was reading an art book there and it actually gave me a lot more confidence. [Being involved with this project] has allowed me to go from point A to point B.

“At point A I thought, ‘I can’t be an artist.’ But the gist of it is that anybody can be an artist. For anyone who feels like they can’t be one, we want them to come on out… so we can show them they can.”

Ren Leathers and Jane Hanks work on their watercolor pieces at the Congregational Church of Tryon, where the Grassroots Arts Program meets every Saturday from 9:30 a.m. - noon. Anyone interested can drop by during those hours. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

“But the gist of it is that anybody can be an artist. For anyone who feels like they can’t be one, we want them to come on out… so we can show them they can.”

-- Ren Leathers

McCullough calls the work students will create folk art because it’s not about experi-ence, she said, it’s more about helping individuals find their passion for art.

“People like the story behind folk art – someone may have

been through hardships that influenced their art and people like those sto-ries,” she said. “Folk art is ts are technically untrained art-ists, but still we want to give them some tools and methods so they can have fun with it.”

There is no fee for materi-als or instruction. McCullough said she’s been able to bring in donations of art supplies they have needed.

McCullough has spoken with several local galleries who said down the road they would offer to host shows for them to sell the art. She said the price points would vary per project size starting at $25.

The group plans to meet every Saturday in the annex of the Congregational Church of Tryon from 9:30 a.m. until noon. Anyone interested can drop by informally throughout those hours, McCullough said.

Welcome to the

Hanukkah & Kwanzaa

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

Hanukkah, or Chanukah, is a Jewish celebration that is also known as the Festival of Lights. Hanukkah is an eight-day celebration, most notably marked with the lighting of the menorah. The menorah is a candleholder that holds nine candles; the main eight candles and a “helper” candle called a shamash, which is used to light all eight can-dles. This tradition is derived from a story found in the Talmud about a man named Judas Maccabaeus, or Judah Maccabee. Around 170 B.C., the ruler Epiphanes tried to force the Greek gods upon the Jews. When the Jews would not worship the pagans, Epiphanes raided and destroyed the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. After seven years of fight-ing, Maccabee regained control, and the Temple was restored. The famous story states that only a small vial of oil was found to light the eternal lamps, yet they were blessed and burned for eight days, giving the Jewish people enough time to acquire more oil for the lamps. The symbolic lighting of the menorah occurs at sundown for the eight days during Hanukkah. Children also trade gifts and play with games and toys, such as a driedel. Special foods, such as fried potato cakes and fried donuts, are served during Hanukkah. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by Professor Maulana Karenga, a Black Studies professor from California State University in Long Beach, California. Kwanzaa is a celebration of the African family and culture. It begins on December 26 and ends on January 1. The name Kwan-zaa comes from the Swahili term which means “first fruits of harvest.” Much like the menorah of Hanukkah, Kwanzaa has seven symbolic candles lit each night symbolizing aspects of the culture. Each night, one of the seven principles of Kwanzaa-- unity, self-determination, col-lective work, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith--is discussed. Kwanzaa is also represented by seven symbols--crops, a mat, a candleholder, the seven candles, ears of corn, gifts, and the Kikome Chad Umoja (The Unity Cup).

The Season of Summer


On June 21, the summer season begins. The word “summer” is derived from an Old Norse word, sumar. Summer is the warmest of the four seasons, because it is at this time that the Northern Hemi-sphere is closest to the sun. The Southern Hemi-sphere experiences its winter at this time, since it is

furthest from the sun. The start of summer coincides with a phenomenon called the Summer Solstice. A solstice is the longest day of the year in a particular hemisphere, or the day on which we experience the most sunlight. Our summer in the United States lasts until around the end of September. Dur-ing the summer in the United States, kids are on break from school. This is a time that they

are able to play summer sports, swim, and spend time on vacation with their families. Picnics are popular, as well as certain foods and drinks like watermelon and lemon-ade. During the summer, many plants and crops, such as citrus fruits, are ready for harvest. These are just a few things that make summer so enjoyable.

The Polk County High School softball program held its an-nual awards banquet Thursday, June 2 at the school’s cafeteria. Coaches gathered with players, parents and fans to celebrate an outstanding season for the Lady Wolverines, as the team finished 18-6 overall and 10-4 in confer-ence competition.

During the banquet, the pro-gram honored the team’s five graduating seniors, including Alicia Lockhart, Erica Painter, Kara Garvin, Cavin Richards and Hailey Champion.

Coaches Jeff Wilson, Ja-mie Thompson, Jerry Hensley, Meghan Horne and Phillip Miller also recognized their most outstanding players by handing out conference honors and special awards during the event.

Hailey Champion, who broke

her ankle on the first day of practice, was unable to play during her senior season, but continued to provide her team with leadership throughout the year. Champion received recog-nition for her outstanding career,

which included four years as a varsity starter and two years as an all-conference selection, as well as All-Area and All-District honors as a junior. The senior co-captain will receive Wall of Fame recognition for her

Lilian Jackson Braun

Lilian Jackson Braun Bet-tinger, the prolific best-selling author of “The Cat Who” mys-tery series for more than 40 years, died at Hospice House of the Caro-lina Foothills in Landrum on Saturday, June 4. She was 97 and had lived in Tryon for the past 23 years.

Ms. Braun wrote 31 books (two collections of short stories and 29 “The Cat Who” books).

Lilian Jackson Braun Bet-tinger was born on June 20, 1913 in Willimansette, Chicopee Falls, Mass. Her father, Charles Jackson, was an inventor and in-dustrial manufacturing trouble-shooter. Her mother, Clara Ward Jackson, was a homemaker. Her father’s work took them to Rhode Island, Brooklyn, N.Y., and Detroit, Mich. Ms. Braun lived in Michigan until retiring

Obituaries to North Carolina. After a short stint as a waitress

(lasting less than a week), Ms. Braun went to work for Detroit department stores, beginning as a copywriter and ending as the director of public relations. She took time off to write her first three books and then accepted a position as the “The Good Liv-ing” editor for the Detroit Free Press. She wrote feature articles on interior design, art and ar-chitecture, as well as reviews of kitchen gadgets and other house-hold products. She remained with The Detroit Free Press for almost 30 years, retiring in 1978.

Ms. Braun was preceded in death by husband, Louis Paul Braun, sister, Florence Jackson, and brother, Lloyd Jackson. She is survived by her husband of 32 years, Earl Bettinger.

Hrobak, who holds the school record for career victories with 47, struck out 225 batters while issuing just 24 walks. The co-captain stood out at the plate as well, posting a .414 batting average while hitting safely in 22 of 24 games. Hrobak won the team’s MVP award and made the Region 8 State Games roster.

Alyssa Montgomery also pulled down all-Western High-lands Conference honors for the third year running. The junior co-captain hit safely in 22 of 66 at-bats for a .333 average, striking out just once in the year. Montgomery led the team in walks, recorded 12 stolen bases

and earned the team’s Best Of-fensive Player award. She will join her teammate Hrobak in Winston-Salem for the Region 8 State Games on June 20.

Sophomore Cassie Couch and Freshman Brittany Jones both earned spots on the all-Western Highlands Conference team as well. Couch, who also earned the Coach’s Award, was praised for her performance at first base, as well as her ability to hit to the opposite field. The switch-hitting Jones also earned the Best Defensive Player award for her outstanding performance at second base.

Freshman Shea Wheeler earned the Rookie of the Year award, while Shalyn Brown took home a Coach’s Award. Yancy Pace and Alicia Lockhart were each presented with Wol-verine awards for their unselfish play and team-first attitude.

Fourth-grader Anna Stratman was recently awarded a T-shirt and wristband to enjoy rides at the Blue Ridge Music and Barbecue Festival for artwork she created in honor of the festival. Tryon Elementary art teacher Clara Rogers had two classes of fourth-graders draw scenes of animated pigs either playing music or eating. Stratman’s artwork was selected out of 40 other posters currently hanging in the Tryon Post Office. Shown with Stratman, left to right, are Rogers, festival chairman Chuck Britton and festival merchandise chairman Phillip Edwards. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

Donna Every of Polk County High School has been named a Ray Kroc Scholar and was awarded a $1,000 scholar-ship from Ronald McDonald House Charities of North Caro-lina (RMHC of N.C.) and local McDonald’s owner/operators.

Every is among 181 students from across the Carolinas who received college scholarships from RMHC of N.C. and lo-cal McDonald’s franchisees.

“McDonald’s is committed to higher education and, as local business owners, it’s an honor to help send these students to col-lege,” said McDonald’s owner/operator Cynthia Samour. “Each year we look forward to this pro-gram and the opportunity to see promising students reach their goals.”

RMHC and Ray Kroc Schol-ars were both chosen based on their leadership skills, academic success, community involve-ment, financial need and a per-

sonal essay describing how they intend to make a difference in society.

Ray Kroc scholarships are awarded to McDonald’s em-ployees who are furthering their secondary education. RMHC of N.C. is committed to the health and well being of children.

From the five Ronald Mc-Donald Houses in North Caro-lina that serve as “homes away from home” for families with seriously ill children to annual scholarships and grants for com-munity programming, their out-reach touches thousands of chil-dren each year.

RMHC of N.C., an indepen-dent 501(c)3 non-profit organiza-tion, is based in Raleigh, N.C., and is governed by a board of directors comprised of busi-ness, civic leaders and McDon-ald’s representatives.

Organizers invite everyone to attend the 15th annual Green Creek School Reunion on Sun-day, June 12 from 2 – 5 p.m.

The former Green Creek School has a rich history, hav-ing operated continuously for 78 years, during which thousands of students passed through its

Green Creek School classmates to reunite June 12doors.

For the past 14 years, on the second Sunday in June, hundreds of those students have returned to their alma mater to renew old friendships and to relive the days of their youth.

For generations, the school was the center of activity for

residents of the area. Some of these activities – cultural, social, recreational and education – are still being offered there because of the many people who have worked diligently to establish the Green Creek Community Center on the site.

All former students, teachers,

their families and friends are encouraged to bring their old pictures, annuals and memories to share. Refreshments will be served.

For more information, call 828-863-2437.

Throughout our lives, we are faced with losses, albeit at differ-ent levels.

As a child, the death of a pet may be our first exposure to loss. As we get older, the reality of los-ing those closest to us becomes more intense.

In 1969, Elisabeth Kübler-Ross wrote one of the first popular books about the subject called, “On Death and Dying.” It has been updated many times and describes the re-sponses to losses related to termi-nal illnesses through five stages that includes: denial, anger, bar-gaining, depression and finally, acceptance.

While this cycle of grieving has proven accurate and relevant to many bereaved people, psycholo-gists are now pointing out that the process of grieving is complex and no two people mourn the same way or travel the path subsequent to a loss at the same speed.

Grieving, like growing up, is a process of going through phases, and each of us makes that journey at our own pace. The process of grieving is typi-cally determined by your relation-ship to the deceased and the nature of the death.

Death at the end of a very long life, whether caused by illness or from natural causes, has usually allowed us time to prepare and while the date of the loss is seldom anticipated accurately, it comes as no major surprise.

Sudden deaths caused by acci-dents, homicides or those involv-ing young people still in the prime of life catch us emotionally unpre-pared and tend to take more time to reach a place of acceptance.

The finality of death is always an emotional shock, even if related to a known terminal illness. And working through the process of dealing with the loss and coping with the symptoms of grief can be a journey lasting from a few months to several years. For care-givers of loved ones, accepting

Death and grieving - we all deal differently

Senior LifeStyles

Ron Kauffman

the reality of a death is one thing, but being able to also accept that you did everything you could and the death was not your fault can be difficult. For some, that ac-ceptance comes quickly, but for others, feelings of disbelief can go on for months and years.

Concepts that may help with the grieving process include:

Taking personal charge of the memorial or ritu-als of death in-stead of allowing the funeral home or someone out-side the family to do it for you.

This is more easily done if open communications had taken place with the patient or between loved ones during which their wishes can be expressed.

Everything from the type of burial or cremation to the music played and the contents of the obituary or release to the media can be established when emotions are under control rather than dur-ing a period of high stress. There is help available to handle all these issues. If you have a computer, Google the words “Five Wishes.” Talking about the contents of the five wishes with your family can save a lot of emotional stress at the end of life.

Know there are no shortcuts to grieving. Watching a terminally ill loved one during the caregiving process allows us time to mourn the loss of that person even as we see them slipping away over time. It does not, however, take the place of the grief felt when the actual death occurs. The finality that comes with death increases feelings of loss and grieving can-not end until after the death has occurred.

Stay firmly rooted in your faith traditions. There is research that shows that those who believe in a spiritual life tend to deal with grieving more quickly, are often able to find meaning in the loss and, subsequently, are better able to cope.

Normal physical and emotional reactions include crying or being

unable to cry, loss of appetite, in-ability to sleep, a feeling of numb-ness, feelings of being unanchored and socially withdrawing. Every-one experiences their feelings and reactions differently.

It’s okay to be angry and even better if you can redirect that anger energy into something construc-tive. Intense emotions can be a way to “hang on” to the deceased person and letting go of the emo-tion, or learning to live with it, can feel like letting go of the person who died.

For some, feelings of relief may occur and that too is okay as emotional and physical pain and suffering are no longer daily aspects that have to be dealt with by the deceased.

Don’t allow others to rush you through your grieving process. Ask for help from friends and family, particularly if new duties like handling the checkbook or paying bills is new to you. Seek out bereavement support, and one of the best sources may be your lo-cal Hospice where support groups commonly meet.

Don’t rely on medicines to take the pain away. Antidepressants can actually impede the grieving process and cannot take away the feelings of loss. Time is often the best medicine when combined with loving support from friends and family.

Eventually, normal life and living must resume. Your rela-tionship to the person who died doesn’t end with his or her death, but it does change.

Your goal as you go through the grieving process is not to let go of the love and the memories, but to find a way to hold on to them with less pain.

The Tryon Running Club will host the Second Annual Running Clinic on Saturday, June 11 from 8 - 9 a.m. at The Blue Wall Pas-sage of the Palmetto Trail behind Lake Lanier.

Triathlete and running coach Katie Malone will offer group and individual coaching in three areas: beginner basics, hill training and trail running.

A 19-time Ironman, Malone is a local triathlete and running coach who works with athletes of all abilities. Her main require-ment is that participants have desire and commitment, believe in themselves and work hard. Coach Malone worked with new and seasoned runners last June at the TRC’s first running clinic. Many of those beginners recently completed their first 5Ks or 10Ks.

The Tryon Running Club is a social running/walking group dedi-cated to bringing people together while exercising in the scenic Landrum-Tryon-Columbus area. All ages and abilities are welcome and there are no club dues. Runs are posted on the group’s Facebook page. The Tryon Running Club encourages members to train for local races to help build a more active community.

“Many people think the Tryon Running Club is only for hardcore runner types, but in reality, we have a whole spectrum of folks who simply enjoy encouraging each other to reach fitness goals. And the best part about our group is making new friends,” said Scarlette Tapp.

Blessing of the Path held June 8

by Maureen Smith for HoCF

The Home Depot stores in Greer and the Dorman Center in Spartanburg have come through for Hospice of the Carolina Foothills (HoCF) once again, donating knock-out roses, gar-denias and oak leaf hydrangea bushes for the second stage of planting at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Landrum.

The bushes were planted by eight volunteers from the Home Depot/Team Depot teams, who placed them on the right hand side of the driveway, along the Path of Remembrance, leading to the new pergola.

“This is not the first time Home Depot has come to our aid,” said Hospice Develop-ment Manager Diane Nelson. “Earlier this year, they donated our foundation plantings, in-cluding camellias, rose bushes, red Japanese maple, junipers and monkey grass, which the

Sprucing up Hospice House a community effortTeam Depot crew and our volunteer landscapers placed around the Hospice House entrance. Ayers Market in Lan-drum donated the flowers, Henson’s contributed the mulch and Williamson’s donated the stain. It has truly been a com-munity effort for the people of our community.”

In addition, Home Depot and Ken’s Incorporated of Spar-tanburg also donated pressure-treated lumber for the wooden, slat-roofed pergola, which now provides shade at the end of the Path of Remembrance.

Built by HoCF volunteers Jack Wright and DeWayne Carroll, the shady resting spot is ready just in time for the Blessing of the Path Wednes-day, June 8.

“At the Blessing of the Path on June 8, we will give thanks for the many donations of money, time and labor which have contributed to making this all possible. Of course, Home Depot will be at the top of that list,” Nelson said. “We will also dedicate the space as a spot for

our patients and their families to renew, recharge and restore, which has become critical to the many people who visit with us.

“The grant from Home De-pot has made it possible to beautify these grounds, while the proceeds from the sales of bricks and pavers that line the Path of Remembrance have helped HoCF raise funds to pay down the $1.5 million mort-gage on the Hospice House. It has been inspiring to see the many businesses and people come together to contribute to this project. And it has been wonderful to watch the beauty develop,” said Nelson. “We’ve even invited people to bring a small perennial plant to estab-lish a ‘forget me not’ garden. We are creating a landscape that continues to unfold.”
