and South Carolina. Elementary, middle and high school students from Chapman, Landrum, Polk County, charter schools and home schools are working together to tell this story of the man who led our nation through a difficult time in its history.

Although King’s leadership in the civil rights movement is well-known, some of the hard-ships he suffered personally are not always fully realized when studying American history. The play dramatizes many of the dangerous circumstances King found himself in as a result of his commitment to non-violent pro-test of segregation in the 1950s and 1960s.

Home-schooled student Luke Umphlett said, “Participating in this musical has taught me about segregation and the fight for freedom and that in addition to MLK and Rosa Parks, there were other important people who stood up for their rights, such as Viv-ian Jones, Joseph McNeill and Coretta Scott King. I also learned that even children were attacked

“I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.” Learning the impact that this dream has had on their lives, Luke Umphlett, Savannah McBurnett and Hannah Brown watch as the events of the civil rights movements unfold during the upcoming production of “We Are the Dream.” The 45-minute play is produced in partnership by the Tryon Fine Arts Center and Thermal Belt Friendship Council.

Musician, storyteller brings ‘Aloha Spirit’ to Tryon Kaleo Wheeler, musical sto-

ryteller, workshop leader and speaker, has just relocated to Tryon and said she couldn’t be happier.

“I’ve been a bit of a gypsy for the last few years, looking for a place where I felt I would want to put down roots,” said Wheeler. “And from my first visit to Tryon, I immediately felt the sense of community and how warm and friendly everyone is. The choice was obvious to relocate here.”

Wheeler shares the philoso-phy of “living the Aloha Spirit,” a way of life she said incorpo-rates love, forgiveness, grati-tude and blessing as a way of empowering people to live their best lives.

She has already kicked off her performance career in Tryon with a holiday concert at Marilyn’s Melrose Inn in December. She will be continuing her collabo-ration there through a musical salon on the fourth Sunday of each month where she will be performing with a guest artist.

W h e e l e r has been sharing her songs and dance since her teens and has been a professional artist and musical storyteller since the 70s. She has traveled extensively to Hawaii where she studied tra-ditional hula and sacred chants. Although her passion is the talk story of Aloha, she also enjoys

other types of music, performing everything from contemporary pop to show tunes in all different types of venues.

Through the HeartFull Con-nections Center, she facilitates workshops and classes, especially

to help women work through fears, struggles and vu lne r-abilities while better dealing

with stress and real-life issues. Through “Free Your Voice – Free Your Self,” participants experi-ence the uniqueness of their own voice, developing better com-munication skills to elicit respect and influence others.

Wheeler also teaches tra-ditional Hawaiian Hula – an

ancient form of storytelling and an energy dance similar to the Chinese Tai Chi that is fun and helps to balance the body/mind/spirit. She said she is excited to be sharing both of these trainings with the Tryon community start-ing later this month.

Kaleo is also a Certified Music Practitioner through the national Music for Healing and Transition Program. This is not performing. She has been trained to play live therapeutic music at the bedside and specializes in helping people who are actively dying, babies and Alzheimer/dementia patients.

Kaleo Wheeler can be reached at 828-859-8393, by e-mailing [email protected] or by visiting www.kaleowheeler.com.

and harmed because they were marching for their freedom."

Polk County Middle School student Hannah Brown said, “It must have been hard for Martin to be the person who stood up for African Americans. We wouldn’t be where we are today without what he did.”

Students said they are excited about what they’re presenting to the public.

Ryan Fox, playing Martin as a child, said he “likes to be onstage, but is worried about

From a different perspective, Sara Seagle, a junior at PCHS,

can be found at the helm of the sound board developing and running the sound supporting the story.

Sara said, “It's always a joy to help out with productions at Tryon Fine Arts Center. Arts in Education is a great way to reach

out to all types of people in the community by integrating the arts into every-day life.”

“ We A r e the Dream,” a 45-minute play with music, will be presented on Tryon Fine Arts

Center’s Veh Stage Friday, Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Jan. 15 at 2 p.m.

Partial sponsorship is provided by the Kirby Fund at Polk County Community Foundation. Admis-sion is free. For more informa-tion, contact Marianne Carruth at TFAC: 828-859-8322 or email [email protected].

This coming Monday, Jan. 17, we recognize, for the 24th time as a nation, Dr. King’s birthday. Con-gress authorized in 1986 that the U.S observe this day as a holiday, “…on the third Monday of Janu-ary each year, around the time of King’s birthday, January 15.”

For those interested in such trivia only four other individuals have been so honored by the U.S. government: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Christopher Columbus and Jesus of Nazareth, called the Christ.

It’s discomforting to me to read Dr. King’s famous “Letter From Birmingham Jail.” It’s an indictment against me person-ally, as I was back then. He wrote scathingly about people like me. I was one of those rather indifferent by-standers who meant well but always deplored civil strife more than injustice.

This 7,025-word timeless docu-ment, which King at first was forced to scribble on scraps of newspaper, was composed as a response to an appeal to Dr. King that eight clergy had just written. The clergymen implored King to forgo his plans for further demon-strations. This was the concluding paragraph of their appeal to cease and desist:

“We further strongly urge our own Negro community to with-draw support for these demon-strations, and to unite locally in working peacefully for a better Birmingham. When rights are consistently denied, a case should be pressed in the courts and in negotiations among local leaders, and not in the streets. We appeal to both our white and Negro citizenry to observe the principals of law and order and common sense.”

Posterity is fortunate that King penned his now famous response. “Letter from Birmingham Jail” says a great deal about the benevo-lent but fiercely determined spirit of Dr. King to right the wrongs of social injustice because to do so is one of the strong commands of the

Guest Column by Dixon Harris

Judeo Christian bible.He wrote that he was repeatedly

disappointed by his white clergy brothers, most of who refused to march with him.

“You deplore the demonstra-tions taking place in Birmingham. But your statement, I am sorry to say, fails to express a similar con-cern for the conditions that brought about the demonstrations…. It is unfortunate that demonstrations are taking place in Birmingham, but it is even more important that the city’s white power structure left the Negro community with no alternative.”

King goes on to insist that he wants negotiations and abhors vio-lence as much as anyone. But what should he do if nobody in the establish-ment will sit down and negotiate? Should he drop the whole issue?

“Lamentably, it is an histori-cal fact that the privileged groups seldom give up their privileges voluntarily. Individuals may see the moral light and give up their unjust posture; but, as Reinhold Niebuhr has reminded us , groups tend to be more immoral than individuals.”

Political power cannot really be bestowed. It must be taken. Sadly, if the “white power structure” King wrote about ever did concede power, they might have been in a position to take it back when the pressure was off. That’s the way of the world. That’s politics. Power must be seized and wrested away otherwise it’s not real power.

King described just laws and unjust laws in his “Letter”:

“A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law of God. An unjust law is a code out of harmony with the moral law…. Any law that uplifts human person-ality is just. Any law that degrades human personality is unjust.”

Stirring thoughts to be sure. Who cannot but agree? Yet it’s easy to agree with King now from

the safe retrospective of a lot of time about an issue that has been long settled. Now let’s transpose those lofty thoughts to issues of the current day. I cannot help but feel that Dr. King might have seen our efforts to seal our southern borders against illegal Mexican immigra-tions as a law that, “… degrades human personality.”

So, I might find myself once more, were he alive, on the op-posite side with Dr. King on a hot issue. Am I being timorous once more in this hypothetical instance? King’s words and thoughts are relevant to this day as I think about this contemporary matter.

The gravamen of his letter is his eloquent but very determined criticism of the white moder-ates. He was

never bitter about his disappoint-ments but was assertive:

“First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed at the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride for freedom is not the White Citizens Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice… who constantly says, ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action.’ ”

That might well have been me back then that King was writing about. I was just at that time join-ing the U.S. State Department’s Foreign Service. I was soon to find myself posted as vice consul in the U.S. Mission in West Berlin. I was very concerned with the parlous view of the Europeans concerning the civil strife in America. Soon to be ensconced in my prestigious career, safe in my surroundings, a prep school and good New England college education behind me, far from troubled streets, I was the philistine who cared more for

order than for justice whom King denounced so ably as “ the Negro’s greatest stumbling block.”

Years went by and yet I recall my approving reactions upon seeing the early fruits of King’s labors. When I returned to the U.S. from Europe after my first tour of duty, long after King had been mar-tyred into an early grave, I noticed something remarkable was rapidly beginning to take place in America that I had not noticed before I left. I took note of young, well-turned-out black couples driving BMWs and enjoying other such accoutrements of newly earned affluence. I saw black managers in corporations. I saw black fami-lies taking their rightful places in public restaurants and such places along with the whites.

I said to myself, “This is very cool. What’s all the shouting been about? It’s as it should have been all along.”

But these salubrious social changes that had been taking place were all thanks to Dr. King and no thanks to me, the timorous, upper-middle-class white guy.

So thank God for Dr. King on his birthday. Sure he was po-litically a pretty far leftie. Sure he had clay feet in his personal life, but King took what was already a good country and almost single-handedly made it a much better country through forcing all of us, by dint of his Christian sense of justice and determination, to live up to the dictates of our own Con-stitution. By that score he must be a great man indeed. When you have time, read his “Letter From Birmingham Jail,” one of the sig-nificant documents of American history. Here are some Internet URLs:

Columbus one step closer to agreement with Foster Creek

Support your local merchantS

ThinkGlobally... Shop

locally!The Town of Columbus is another step closer to reach-ing a development agreement with Foster Creek Preserve. Town council has the second draft of the agreement in hand, which was recently posted on the town’s website for public view.

Council has also delivered another draft of its desired changes to Foster Creek devel-opers, but those changes have not yet been made public.

Foster Creek and the town held an informational meeting on the first draft of the agree-ment in October, with several residents expressing concerns. Most of the concerns have been taken care of in the latest draft.

One of residents’ main con-cerns during the informational meeting was a clause in the draft that said, “The town shall reserve sufficient water capacity within the town water system to supply adequate quantities of public water services to the property to the extent necessary for (Foster Creek) to develop the project and obtain certifi-cates of occupancy for each of the dwelling units and related amenities permitted under the master plan, as amended from time to time (the ‘water capac-ity’).”

Columbus residents said in October that the town should not put the Foster Creek devel-opment above all other water customers. Town officials ex-pressed concern over the clause as well.

The second draft seems to remedy concerns with the addi-tion of new clauses, one saying the town “hereby represents that it currently has (sufficient water).” Following a paragraph saying the town shall maintain the water capacity without inter-ruption, the latest draft includes, “except as the result of force majeure, including without limitation, drought conditions

which may restrict public water service to all town customers.”

The latest draft also includes other additions to the public utility section, including that Foster Creek agrees that no wells or septic systems shall be installed on the property except with written agreement of the town.

The new draft also rewords a clause that used to say Foster Creek “anticipates” construct-ing a water storage tank, to one saying Foster Creek “will con-struct,” a water storage tank.

Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe said he expects town council will discuss the latest draft during its January meeting, scheduled for Jan. 20, but at this point the town is still discussing the agreement in closed session.

Prior to approval, the town will be required to hold a public hearing.

Foster Creek is a 1,065-acre proposed subdivision to be located off Houston Road in Columbus. The town voluntarily annexed the property a few years ago and have been working with developers for years.

Columbus imposed an eight-month moratorium on develop-ment during the initial planning of the development and created new ordinances and steps for major subdivision developers to complete prior to approval.

The town approved the mas-ter plan last year for approxi-mately 700 total lots and town-homes, to be constructed over the next 15 to 20 years.

The first phase of construc-tion is anticipated to begin in 2012, according to the draft agreement. The final phase is expected to be constructed be-tween 2025 and 2030.

The latest draft agreement can be seen at Columbus Town Hall or on the home page of the town’s website at www.colum-busnc.com.

PCMS holds turkey dollar competition for TBOM

Marcus Twitty presents Eloise Thwing, former director of TBOM, with a check for $1,763.12. (photo submitted by Langlee Garrett)

The Polk County Middle School Student Leadership Coun-cil recently sponsored a competi-tion among homerooms to raise money for Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry (TBOM).

Students raised $1,763.12 from Nov. 15-19.

To help with Thanksgiv-ing meals, specifically turkeys for Thanksgiving, homerooms brought in dollars to see who could raise the most.

Langlee Garrett, sponsor of the leadership council said she was overwhelmed by how much money students brought in during the week.

“We know this money will go toward a greater cause at Thermal Belt Outreach and we were excited to help them help families in the community. This is a great school

with great students, parents and staff who are willing to help others during the holidays.”

As an incentive, each home-room had a featherless turkey and for every $5 they earned, they placed a feather on their turkey. Throughout the week students were able to see which homerooms had the most money by the number of feathers on their turkeys.

Mrs. Burgin had the winning homeroom with $270 and Mr. Eaton’s homeroom came in second place with $232. Mrs. Burgin’s homeroom earned an ice cream party for their contribution. The student body celebrated by going to a Thanksgiving Dance.

Student leaders delivered the check to TBOM Nov. 19 to help with Thanksgiving meals this past year.

New promotional video coming to Landrum’s websiteby Leah Justice

The City of Landrum is cur-rently working on a video for its website centered on the city’s slogan, “There’s more to do in Landrum.”

Landrum City Council dis-cussed last week a video to be placed on the city’s website at www.cityoflandrum.com. The video will focus on the city's beauty and attractions and will be designed to draw more visi-tors.

City administrator Steve Wo-lochowicz said the video will

show a lot of illustrations of the town and the area, with cameos from residents.

The video, which will be ap-proximately three to five minutes long, will cost the city $2,500. The money will come from hospitality tax funds.

Synergy Point, the city’s website providers, are handling the video.

The video will be approxi-mately three to five minutes.

It is not known yet when the video will be complete to be placed on the website.

Lake Lanier honors WiLLiams

EmaiLiNg a picturE to thE tdb?

A few tips…• Lighter and more contrasting subjects and backgrounds will

print better than subjects and backgrounds with similar hues. When possible, keep the background clean and simple, not too cluttered.

• Focus on the people in your shots – zoom in on them so that their expressions can be seen. When possible, show people doing things rather than lined up facing the camera.

• High-quality (100 or 200 dpi) .jpg formats are preferred, be-tween 3 and 6 inches wide.

• When you email the photo, if at all possible, please include in your email the names of all the people in your photo, identi-fied from left to right. Photos without names are less likely to be published.

Thanks for your submissions… see you in the paper!

TLT announces ‘Oliver’ castRehearsals are underway for

the next production of Tryon Little Theater (TLT) – the mu-sical “Oliver.” The production opens at the Tryon Fine Arts Center Feb. 11.

For a play this complex, based on a story by Charles Dickens, a large cast is needed and this production has one: 45 – ranging in age from 7 to 60.

The young orphan Oliver is played by TLT newcomer August Boyer from Taylors, S.C. This part is understudied by a local young actor, Alex Harrelson, who also plays Charlie Bates.

The autocratic head of the orphanage (read workhouse) Mr. Bumble, is Josh Moffitt who was last seen on the Fine Arts Center stage as the genie in Aladdin.

His love interest is the Widow Cornay, a.k.a. Carol Cox (“Sound of Music”). Lavin Cuddihee plays Fagin who heads up a gang of young pickpockets. Re-member him in “One Few Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Monky Business?” Fagin’s assistant, the Artful Dodger, is Jamie Riedy (“Sound of Music” and “Les Mis”).

The faithful Nancy (Susie Kocher – “Sound of Music”) and her villainous boyfriend Bill Sykes (Ed Harrelson) round out the leads.

The townspeople and various characters who inhabit Dickens’ London are Paul Adams, Mimi Alexander, Jeff Carter, Rody Dayvault, Phil and Michele Dres-sendorfer, Peter Eisenbrown, Petra Harrelson, Holly Horton, Alexa Hughes, John Hugill, Eli Jenkins, Katie Jones, Maryneal Jones, Emily Kocher, Jennifer Monterisi, Ed Richardson, Kate Riedy, Elizabeth Shanahan, Hol-lie Swofford, Hannah Tafoya, Nancy Winker and Keller Yates.

Add a passel of workhouse orphans and pickpockets: Rhian and Reese Alley, Will Costine, Liam Daniels, Jackson Ged-dings, Avery, Britain and Carter Hamrick, Eric Harrelson, Grace Ingham, Maggie Riedy, Alita Rossen, Katie Shanahan and Jack Tinkler, mix in the direction of Chris Tinkler and the musical talent of Lena Duncan, and you have the ingredients for a great show.

DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local couple happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store.

At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale!

The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take lessons from a local profes-sional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dres-sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country course and stadium jump-ing. They ended up high point!

Letter to the Editor

Johnson family appreciates you

To the Editor: The Johnson family would

like to let everyone know how much they appreciate the out-pouring of support, donations and prayers.

We are blessed to have been

surrounded by caring people. My family and I are so grateful to everyone and everything that has been done, words cannot express the gratitude we feel.

We especially appreciate the Tryon Police and Fire Depart-ments and the Red Cross. The list goes on and on. We know that material things can be replaced but a life cannot.

Keep us in your prayers. — The Johnson Family

moved forward. In glancing back, they could

also see the rear wheels.When the wagon started down

hill toward the ford in the creek, one of the young men said to the other, “When we reach the ford, pull the brake hard and we will let the team drink from the creek.”

He did so. The wheels locked and slid on the ground approach-

ing the water. Then, the wagon stopped with

a jerk. Standing in the middle of the creek, the mules put down their heads, and sucked up the water until they had had enough.When they lifted their heads, the young man released the brake, and the wagon started forward at about the same speed that they came down hill into the creek.

With the brake rope in his hand, the young man looked backward and downward toward the brake block in front of the rear wheel on his side.

He was startled to see a ball of fire as large as a man’s head rise up out of the water and roll around the iron shod wheel.

He cried out to his companion, “Look at this!”

The other young man looked around to see the ball of fire

Twice-told Tales of the Dark Corner

by Dean Campbell

Among strange experiences that occurred in the early years of the Dark Corner were instances of natural phenomena having a profound impact on human perception.

One of the all-time favorite tales concerns two impression-able young men who were travel-ing back home in a wagon, pulled by a team of mules.

It was weighted down with merchandise they had picked up at the Greer railroad station.

The road was hilly and rough. In spite of their repeated attempts to speed up the slow, somewhat stubborn mules, it was close to ten o’clock at night when they were approaching a ford in the creek near an old, falling down house that was said to be ‘haunted.’

The space across the ford was about 25 feet and the water was about five inches deep.

The old, home-made wagon had a heavy beam of wood across under the wagon box, just in front of the rear wheels. On the end of this beam there were brake blocks, also made of wood.

The beam was fastened to the wagon timbers so that when the driver pulled on the rope, the brake stick would come forward and push the beam back until the blocks were against the wheels.

Riding on a board laid cross-wise of the wagon box, the two young men, by looking down and to the side, were looking at the iron shod wheels as the wagon

Recalling the night the wagon wheels caught fire

just before it went down into the water. “What was that?” he shouted.

When the fire spot on the wheel came back up out of the water, it had turned in mud at the water’s edge. The ball of fire was not seen again.

The young men were so upset by the strange experience that they took a whip and began urg-ing the mules to go much faster.

Repeatedly cracking the whip, they ran the mules up hill for about a quarter-mile.

The owner later contended that “they nearly run my mules to death!”

Years later, the two now older men had given much thought to the frightening experience, and had come to the conclusion that the wheel on which the fire ap-peared had come in contact with a rotting stump near the water’s edge.

The iron shod wheel had wiped off a lump of foxfire from the stump, which the water made glow more vividly than if they had been on a dry, sandy road.

The brake block had helped to spread the phosphorus on the wheel, if it was, in fact, the mate-rial that caused the ball of fire.

Mud on the exit side of the ford probably wiped the phos-phorus from the wheel so that they would not see the fire ball again. They also admitted that fear might have played a large part in their description of the size of the fire ball!
