"Womansong: Balance and Harmony in a Feminine Key" is Gwen Suesse’s first-born book, nine years in gestation.

In 2001, she began the focused work of converting years’ worth of journals into the book she felt was contained within them. Nine years later, in April 2010, she received the efforts of her labor – 2,000 cop-ies of "Womansong."

“Nine years off and on,” says Suesse, “for a book conceived more than three decades ago.”

Suesse tells the story of the conception, during an evening when her first-born child, Jen-nifer, was about a year old.

“At a party, I was asked, ‘What do you do?’ ‘I’m home with a baby,’ I replied, to which the inquisitor turned and began a conversation with another

Public invited to join police, firefighters, other volunteers in sidewalk work Tuesdayby Leah Justice

Columbus councilwoman Ernie Kan last Thursday night announced she is getting some much needed help on her mis-sion to fix the brick sidewalk surrounding the courthouse in Columbus.

Kim Pack, administrative assistant with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, has coordi-

nated a volunteer effort involv-ing law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency service personnel and rescue squad volunteers who will work on the project tomorrow night begin-ning at 7 p.m.

Kan said tomorrow night’s effort is expecting to bring more than 30 volunteers and she is very thankful for the help. The

public is also invited to join in the effort tomorrow or on other days. Tomorrow night’s effort will include a cookout for those working.

Kan began the completely volunteer project to fix the side-walk, “one brick at a time,” she says. She told fellow council

partygoer. With someone more interesting, I surmised.

“I felt uninteresting and anon-ymous. And even though it was a personal experience, I knew on some level it was an experience shared by millions of women. How do we balance being a mom, a wife, a worker, a daughter, a caretaker, an involved citizen, an interesting person?”

The book, she says, is really letters to herself.

“When I don’t know what to do,” explains Suesse, “I write. I write to figure out what I think and how I feel.

RaRe tRain sighting in LandRum

Tom Williamson of Williamson’s Paint Center in Landrum reported seeing trains on the tracks in Landrum last Thursday afternoon - a rare sight since Norfolk-Southern stopped using the rail line running through Landrum and Tryon nearly ten years ago. The cars came all the way up to the track cut mound in Landrum across from Ayers. Rail workers said these were “research” cars that were checking track integrity up to that point. They said as far as they knew, Norfolk-Southern has no plans to begin using the lines again. (photos by Tom Williamson)

the messages I need to hear again and again about keeping my life in balance – being involved with and helpful to those in my life, and yet not losing myself in the process. I know it’s easy for women to do this because of traditional roles, and I suspect for some men, too, to be so accustomed to meeting others’ needs that they don’t meet their own needs, or even realize they have any.

"The book is about seeking balance – helping others and also getting your own needs met. It’s about having a turn.”

Suesse loves words, and in writing the first draft of the book, she followed the best writing advice she ever got: just write

and don’t let the critics show up too soon. By the end of year two, she had finished the first draft and met and sealed a deal with Renée Locks of San Francisco to illustrate the book.

During the next six years, "Womansong" underwent three professional edits; several read-ings by trusted friends; countless author revisions; and an introduc-tion to the ‘less-than-perfectly enjoyable” world of publishing and marketing that left Suesse’s head spinning.

She did the work, pushed through at the end, and got it done, and in April of this year, Suesse made room in her base-

ment for 83 cartons of books. And it feels… “Fabulous!”

she exclaims. “I have a great sense of satisfaction in being able to see 'Womansong' to comple-tion. And one of my chief joys has come from having conversa-tions with women, using the book as a springboard. I have loved the opportunity to speak, sign books, talk with other women. Women universally 'get' the premise of the book. Women of all ages, from all walks of life. I’m finding that though our circumstances have differed, the issues have been the same.”

The response to "Womansong" is “humbling and gratifying,” says Gwen. Six weeks after it was launched at The Book Shelf, Tryon’s inde-pendent book se l l e r, more than 500 books have been sold. Another hun-dred are spread among book-s t o r e s f r o m Tryon to cen-tral New York, where Gwen and her husband Jack raised their two children and lived until moving to Tryon in 1999.

The book has won two awards. It was a winner in the National Indie Excellence Awards, rec-ognizing books that meet the highest standards of independent publishing. And it won a bronze medal in the Women’s Issues category from the Independent Publishers Book Awards.

More importantly to Suesse, "Womansong" has generated “countless good and positive re-sponses via letters, notes, phone calls, and e-mails.” One excerpt from a treasured hand-written letter, dated the day after the book launch, reads as follows: “Womansong is splendid: warm, personal, yet universal. I found myself identifying with every page. The beautiful illustrations are perfect for your opus. I will

pass this on to my three precious granddaughters and to friends of more than 50 years, strug-gling still to be authentic amid life’s onslaughts. Your writing flows, is easily parsed, carves a lovely path clearly – quite an accomplishment when dealing with serious matters of the brain and heart. I read 135 pages before stirring. That’s huge kudos for a non-fiction book! Thank you for your fine message for any era, any culture, any milieu.”

And then, there are the re-sponses from Suesse’s children. Son Ned, her second-born, has this to say: "As a child, you think your parents have all the answers. As you mature, you begin to real-ize that they are struggling with questions just like everyone else. For me, reading 'Womansong'

had two effects. First, to recog-nize some of the struggles my mom was fac-ing as I, a child, was present but oblivious. And second, to see her wisdom in understanding an d d ea l i n g with these co-nundrums. I'm

really proud of her for having the courage to write the book.”

And daughter Jennifer, the first-born child, says: “By pub-lishing 'Womansong,' my Mom has realized one of her dreams as an artist, and I am thrilled for her. As I flip through the pages, I hear her voice in my ear giving hard-won advice she's learned and passed along throughout my life. It is especially moving to read her words and see Renée's beautiful illustrations now, as I've just become a mother myself. Juggling many responsibilities, I am wrestling with the chal-lenge of 'balance' in a new way. I always thought Mom was an outstanding role model, but now that I'm trying motherhood out myself, I feel evermore lucky that she's mine!”

As Suesse revels in the posi-tive response her book is glean-ing, she continues to schedule marketing opportunities and seek out prospective venues to talk about balance and har-mony. Presently, she is booking signing and speaking events in North and South Carolina, Virginia, New York, Tennes-see, California, Oregon, and Colorado during 2010.

Suesse says she is open to going anywhere, and appreci-ates having expenses covered when possible.

She’s also working on a second book. Its working title is "Solo: A Widow’s Journey."

Suesse lost her beloved Jack in 2007 to a sudden, vicious ill-ness. She has remained in Try-on and shares her home with Daisy, their spoiled Corgi.

“For three years,” says Gwen, “I have been on an un-expected journey. After Jack died, I read everything I could find about loss and grief… and I wrote, because that’s what I do. We’ll see if the journals from the past three years hold a book within their pages.”

Meanwhile, "Womansong" is available at The Book Shelf in Tryon and online at woman-song.com.

Suesse invites women ev-erywhere to enjoy the book.

Excerpt from Rick Cooper’s new book, *Sacrifice*:

High school teacher David Talbot's emotionally-troubled wife Amanda has kicked him out of their farmhouse. Sleep deprived, living in a rat hole apartment, separated from his two pre-cious young daughters, he is about to lose his mind. David's troubles are com-pounded after his best friend Steven is killed in a mysterious car crash. When David begins to ask questions about the bizarre circumstances surrounding Ste-vens’ death, his own life and the lives of his children are threatened.

Gaston S&L merges with HomeTrust; Sunnydale sold

HomeTrust Banking Part-nership, parent company of Tryon Federal Bank, is getting another member.

Cherryville Federal Savings and Loan will become the sev-enth member of the partnership, a group of mutual banks that have merged to share top management and support services.

Gaston County-based Cher-ryville has one office, 13 employ-ees and $101.4 million in assets.

The merger, which officials expect regulators to approve in September, will bring the part-nership to $1.7 billion in assets, 275 employees and 20 offices. HomeTrust said it will become the 13th largest bank based in North Carolina.

Stan Allen, Cherryville’s pres-ident and CEO, said his bank is in good shape fi-nancially but de-cided to make the move because its small size made dealing with gov-ernment regulation and packaging its mortgage loans for resale to investors more difficult.

Mutual banks are owned by their depositors and many have traditionally focused on home mortgages.

The HomeTrust Partnership began in 1996, although most of its member institutions predate World War II. It combines the resources of the member banks, which stretch from Haywood County east to Rockingham County, while allowing for local control.

This was an “inter-club” visit and Kiwanis clubs are requested to visit other clubs in its division at least once a year. Reeves is coordinator for these trips so he contacts the other clubs to arrange the visits. The club members say it is helpful to visit other clubs to find out about their activities and enjoy the fellowship of their members. (photo submitted)

N.C. Mountain State Fair returns to W.N.C. Ag Center in September

The North Carolina Moun-tain State Fair is a western North Carolina tradition. Now in its 17th year, the fair always promises lots of food, fun, and mountain heritage; this year’s fair will fulfill those same promises September 10 through 19 at the W.N.C. Ag Center in Fletcher, N.C.

The newly added Virginia C. Boone Mountain Heritage Center and the Livestock Exhi-bition Building will continue to house crafts, handmade goods, artwork, and horticulture prod-ucts from western North Caro-lina. In addition, residents from across the region will arrive with their best livestock in tow in the hopes of winning a coveted blue ribbon in one of the numerous livestock com-petitions.

The carnival will again be supplied by Drew Expositions. There will be plenty of rides for younger children and the carni-val will have lots of games of chance, skill, and concentration

with your favorite fluffy and stuffed prize waiting.

New to the fair this year will be live music on the Bojangles Music Stage, which will host more than 30 local and regional bands daily. The stage will be outdoors and centrally located on the fairgrounds. All perfor-mances will be free for fairgo-ers with paid admission.

McGough Arena will host country music star Chuck Wicks on Wednesday, Sep-tember 15, and Christian music groups The Oxendines and This Hope on Thursday, September 16. Tickets for each show will include admission to the fair.

The Heritage Stage will con-tinue to host mountain music and bluegrass each night as the Mountain Music Competition returns to the fair. The competi-tion gives local musicians and bands much needed exposure as well as the chance to open for contemporary bluegrass musician John Cowan. Cowan, the former lead singer of the

New Grass Revival, a band he formed with contemporary bluegrass and folk music greats Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, and Pat Flynn, will perform on the Bojangles Music Stage on Sun-day, September 19. Cowan’s performance is also free with paid fair admission.

Mountain State Fair dis-counted advance tickets are now on sale at the W.N.C. Ag Center and at the W.N.C. Farm-ers Market. Western N.C. Ingles supermarkets will sell advance tickets beginning August 1. Tickets will also be available online at www.mountainfair.org during the month of Au-gust. All advance ticket sales will end on September 9.

To learn more about the N.C. Mountain State Fair, visit www.mountainfair.org or call 828-687-1414. You can also join the conversation on Facebook by visiting the fan page at www.facebook.com/ncmountainfair.

Hot car deaths rise with temperaturesIt is shaping up to be a par-

ticularly deadly year for children dying from hyperthermia in hot cars. On average, 35 to 40 children across the country die from heat exposure in vehicles each year; there have already been at least 21 such deaths in 2010, with the most in the first six months of the year since researchers began collecting data on the subject in 1998.

In the past five years, at least 10 children in North Carolina have died from hyperthermia after being trapped in hot vehicles.

“These deaths are preventable,” said Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin, state chair of Safe Kids North Carolina. “A child should never be unattended in a car, for any length of time or at any time of year. We need to work to reverse this tragic trend.”

With its soaring temperatures, July is historically the deadliest month for child fatalities in hot cars, but hyperthermia can occur even on days with mild 70 degree

temperatures. The temperature in a closed vehicle can rise about 20 degrees in 10 minutes and nearly 30 degrees in 20 minutes. Cracking a window has little effect.

Safe Kids North Carolina offers these safety tips for all parents and caregivers:

• Never leave a child alone in a vehicle. Check to make sure all children exit the vehicle when you reach your destination.

• Lock the doors when your ve-hicle is parked. Teach children that cars are not places to play.

• Busy parents have a lot of their minds, so give yourself a reminder. Place your purse, briefcase or other important items in the backseat next to your child’s car seat so you have to look in the back before leaving the car.

• If you see a child or pet left unattended in a vehicle, call 911 immediately.

• Check vehicles and trunks first if a child goes missing.

N.C. Securities Division joins fight against elder investment fraud and abuse

The North Carolina Secretary of State Securities Division is launching a new initiative to increase awareness among doc-tors and medical professionals of an under-recognized and under-reported form of elder abuse: financial fraud.

The initiative was announced recently in recognition of the annual June 15 observation of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. More than 7.3 million older Americans - one out of every five citizens over the age of 65 - al-ready have been victimized by a financial swindle, according to a new national Investor Protection Trust survey.

“Elder financial abuse is be-coming the crime of the 21st cen-tury,” Secretary of State Elaine F. Marshall said recently. “The North Carolina Secretary of State Securities Division is committed to developing innovative partner-ships and programs to help detect and fight the persistent problem of financial abuse among North Carolina’s seniors.”

The division is joining forces with other state securities regula-tors, physicians and adult protec-tive services workers to educate medical professionals and other caregivers about how to identify seniors who may be vulnerable

to financial abuse. Through this initiative, pro-

fessionals who provide front-line elder care will learn how to refer at-risk seniors to the appropriate authorities; whether it is to report investment fraud to securities regulators, suspected abuse to adult protective services workers or symptoms of mild cognitive impairment to physicians.

“Investment fraud against seniors too often goes unre-ported, but by teaming up with clinicians and adult protective services workers to give voice to the silent victims, the Securi-ties Division can gather more information to investigate and prosecute those who financially exploit our seniors,” Secretary Marshall said.

The division’s partner or-ganizations include the North American Securities Adminis-trators Association (NASAA), Investor Protection Trust and the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA), in cooperation with the American Academy of Family Physicians, the National

Area Health Education Center Organization and the National Association of Geriatric Educa-tion Centers.

The campaign will feature

two new resources:A “Clinicians’ Pocket Guide,”

which is a quick reference tool for medical practitioners outlin-ing the red flags of investment fraud, tips for discussing finan-cial capacity with senior patients and resources for reporting sus-pected abuse.

A patient brochure designed to be an investor education re-source for senior patients and their families highlighting ways to protect themselves from elder financial fraud and where to get help.

Secretary Marshall is also cautioning seniors to be wary of giving out their personal information in light of concern that new scams could target senior citizens who fall into the Medicare “donut hole” as they receive $250 rebate checks from the federal government.

To learn more about how the North Carolina Secretary of State Securities Division is working to protect investors, visit online at www.sosnc.com or call 919-733-3924 or 800-688-4507.

The North Carolina Secretary of State Securities Division is a member of NASAA, the oldest international organization de-voted to investor protection.

NCDOT seeking applicants for public transportation projects

The N.C. Department of Transportation Public Trans-portation Division is seeking applications from North Caro-lina counties for the state’s Fis-cal Year 2011 Rural Operating Assistance Program grant.

“ROAP funds offer another way for counties to receive operating money during a time when many are having to cut their budgets,” said Miriam Perry, director of NCDOT’s

Public Transportation Division. “By offering funding through this grant program, we’re im-proving the quality of life for those who reside in rural areas and don’t have a means for trans-portation.”

ROAP consolidates the Elder-ly and Disabled Transportation Assistance Program, Employ-ment Transportation Assistance Program and Rural General Pub-lic Transportation Program into

a single application package. A total of $22.7 million is available for North Carolina counties.

The deadline to apply for ROAP funding is August 31. Application packets and detailed information regarding ROAP requirements are available on the NCDOT Public Transporta-tion Division Web site under “Grant News” at www.ncdot.gov/nctransit.

Once upon a TLT dreamby Connie Clark

Once upon a time in the magi-cal hamlet of Tryon, strange and wonderful things seemed to happen on a certain stage each July…

Suddenly, a young girl wearing a blue dress and white apron finds herself falling down a rabbit hole, of all things, at the Tryon Fine Arts Center! With no help what-soever from the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, or the Red Queen, young Alice manages to make her way to a desert, where she meets an Aviator and a remarkable Little Prince who came from a planet way out in space to learn how best to care for his flower Rose.

Alice suggests the Little Prince have a look in enchanted Narnia for an answer, and points him to-ward a gigantic wardrobe right in the middle of the stage. The Little Prince climbs inside, makes his way past the winter coats hanging there, and comes out the other side not in Narnia as expected, but in the Shire, of all places, where he is soon surrounded by furry-footed folk called Hobbits.

“How to care for your Rose? Is that your quest?” asks Bilbo Baggins.

“Yes, good sir,” replies the Prince. “She is most beloved by me even though she’s very de-manding. Do you happen to know any florists or perhaps farmers who could advise me?”

“Actually I do,” answers Bilbo. “See that barn over there? And the County Fair beyond? Well, just go ask those folks what to do. Farm-ers plant all sorts of things, and must have some ideas for roses. Good luck!”

So the Little Prince makes his way to a handsome barn which seems to have a huge web hanging from the rafters. Within moments, he finds himself being welcomed by the friendliest pig he has ever met – a happy piglet named Wil-bur, and Wilbur’s best friend, a spider named Charlotte.

“Hi,” says Wilbur. “So you’ve got a great looking rose, huh? Bet-cha could enter her at the County Fair and win a Blue Ribbon. She’d like that ‘cause it proves how special she is!”

“Oh, but I left her back on my planet,” says the Little Prince, overcome with concern. “Maybe Wonderland or Narnia or the Shire or Charlotte can take me home in the blink of an eye to fetch her!” And with that, the Little Prince falls backward and vanishes.

“I hope he does well,” ven-tures the always kind Charlotte. “Come now, Wilbur, we have a busy July facing us on that Fine Arts Center stage.”

And suddenly director Mari-anne Carruth wakes with a start! Lions and tigers and bears, oh my: all four of her past summer youth shows have just tumbled into one dream, blending their stories together in the oddest of ways, and delivering her on the doorstep of her 2010 play, “Charlotte’s Web.”

E. B. White’s beloved “Char-lotte’s Web” will play the Tryon Fine Arts Center July 29 and 30 at 8 p.m. and July 31 through August 1 at 3 p.m. For tickets call 828-859-2466.
