As the Tryon Fine Arts Center prepares for its just-announced 2010-11 season, the people who operate it are preparing for a new chapter in the 40-year history of the center.

The center is under the leader-ship of Executive Director Beth Child, a former concert pianist in the arts arena with non-profit expe-rience in the business world. Child came on board seven months ago and found TFAC in a state of flux.

A fundraising drive to con-struct a new building was cut short by the recession and changes at the top of TFAC and at a meeting this fall, Child and TFAC’s board of directors must decide where both the organization and its fund-raising efforts go from here.

“There’s been an evolution here,” said Child. “We have to ask ourselves, ‘What does the commu-

Green River watershed reclassification could be on state agenda next springby Jeff Byrd

The process of reclassifying the Lake Adger watershed could heat up again next spring, accord-ing to Polk County engineer David Odom, of Odom & Associates Engineering, Inc.

Odom was asked about the reclassification effort last week by Polk County commissioner Tommy Melton. Polk County is seeking a Water Supply Level III classification for the Green River watershed, which covers 87,470

acres, 36,825 acres in Polk County and 50,645 acres in Henderson County.

After several joint meetings with Polk County commissioners and a public hearing in Henderson Coun-ty, the Henderson County Board of Commissioners in September, 2009 voted 3-2 to oppose Polk County’s reclassification initiative.

Nonetheless, the process has been moving forward.

The N.C. Division of Water Quality has been taking water samples from the Green River and

has been running tests for the past year, as part of the standard process of reclassification, Odom said. The state has one more sample to take in September.

That last sample will be ana-lyzed and then the division will write its report by the end of the year, Odom said. That report will be reviewed, and the N.C. Depart-ment of Environment and Natural Resources Public Water Supply Section will sign off.

Editor's note: Below is the second of a three-part series in which local attorney Lee Stock-dale shares stories of his father's friendship and professional as-sociation with President John F. Kennedy. Look for the last part of the series in Friday's Bulletin.by Lee Stockdale

JFK was sworn in as president on January 20, 1961.

Four days later, Dad sent Sena-tor George Smathers a letter and with it he enclosed “a copy of a memorandum we have recently dis-cussed. We regret that we were un-able to get this information to you sooner and sincerely hope that the delay has not been damaging.”

The three-page memorandum, author unknown, began: “It is now the object of the American foreign policy to bring about the downfall of the Cuban Com-munist regime without resort to U.S. armed intervention.… The preservation of the political integrity of the countries of the western hemisphere require[s] its immediate elimination. Measures must be devised that will cause this with the least bloodshed.”

JFK named Dad ambassador

'Dad and JFK: The Stockdales in Ireland'to Ireland. The Miami Herald wrote: “For the man who was one of the original ‘New Frontiers-men’ in the Kennedy campaign the appointment caps an elevator-like career which has had as many downs as ups” – a reference to Dad’s losses for reelection as a Dade County commissioner and his run for Congress.

Dad was undeterred by any perceived “downs.” He was elated. Sort of. Actually, when President Kennedy floated the

idea of the ambassador job, Dad told Mom it was out of the ques-tion. He had his real estate busi-ness, employees, responsibilities, his life in Miami, all that.

Mom was adamant and per-suasive: Dad was going to take this post.

Dad was honored to be cho-sen to go to Ireland, the Ken-nedy homeland. He wrote the president: “I shall be the best

they ever had.” He told the Miami Herald:

“I’m going to treat this job as if it were the biggest job in the world.”

Dad had been director of the Miami Beach Hotel Association and a big Miami tourism booster. He told the Herald, “I visualize a tremendous step-up in tourism and interest between the two nations” and “promised to do his utmost to ‘sell America’ to the Irish people.”

After Dad was sworn in, Presi-dent Kennedy wrote him a three-page “Confidential” letter that included: “We are living in a criti-cal moment in history. Powerful destructive forces are challenging the universal values which, for centuries, have inspired men of good will in all parts of the world.” It was quite somber.

We sailed from New York to Cork, Ireland, on the U.S.S. Amer-ica. On the same ship were John Kenneth Galbraith, the new ambas-sador to India, and his family. Then early one morning, rising out of the mist, was Ireland, radiantly green.

We lived in Dublin, inside Phoenix Park. We had two neigh-bors in Phoenix Park: President Éamon de Valera, the president of Ireland, and the Papal Nuncio. DeValera, a hero of the Irish Revolution, came to visit us and

pinched my cheek extremely hard when we greeted him.

The ambassador’s residence had about 60 acres, with horses, pigs, and sheep. A number of families lived on the grounds to care for the property, to include Big John’s fam-ily, which lived in the gatehouse.

Every time we went in or out of the front gate, Big John would wave and call out, “Woah-hoah!” That’s the only thing I remember Big John ever saying.

Our home in Phoenix Park was a place of constant recep-tions, balls and dinners. There

was often a famous person stay-ing with us. Guests included Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Jack Parr, Ar-thur Godfrey, Grace Kelly, Peter Ustinov, Amy Vanderbilt, Peggy Cass, and Ethel Kennedy.

After Ted Kennedy’s visit, he wrote: “Dear Grant, The first call that I made after being down on the ground some 15 minutes was to our battling champion of the Free World and described minutely your performance over there. This description was not limited to that dashing cavalry ride but had to include those re-marks of our distinguished Mayor Moynihan of New Ross.”

Mom, a poet, loved to visit Irish writers in their homes and I sometimes went along. These were great visits because the writ-ers were “normal” Irish people,

not diplomats or government officials, and they were always creative and fascinating. I recall visiting Ireland’s former president, Sean T. O’Kelly, at his home in Roundwood. He told me, earnestly, that although he had never per-sonally seen a leprechaun, he once came upon a small cave and inside, perfectly laid out, was a lep-rechaun’s complete set of clothes. So he believed in leprechauns.

In May of 1962, Dad an-nounced his resignation. He told the Irish Independent he never intended to make diplomatic service a career and had “respon-sibilities of my own, as I have

five children and I must get back home to my business.”

Just days before we departed Dublin, Dad broke ground for the new embassy building, a proud achievement. My older siblings in-formed me that JFK expressly told Dad he wanted him back in Miami to be the president’s “eyes and ears” in South Florida, only 90 miles

from communist Cuba, a political flashpoint.

Dad’s new office in Miami’s DuPont building was direct-ly across the hall from Sena-tor Smathers’ Miami law firm, Smathers and Thompson.

As soon as we got back, Dad went with the Chief on a four-day trip to Colorado, South Dakota, Cal-ifornia, and back to Washington.

The Cuban Missile Crisis was two months away.

nity need us to be?’ We’re taking a look at ourselves and asking, ‘Who are we?’”

The answer to that question will determine the course for TFAC beyond the 2010-11 season, which begins Oct. 3 with the return of Taylor 2, a six-member dance en-semble (see the box above for the season schedule).

“The logo for the arts center used to include an umbrella,” Child said, referring to the ongoing evolution of TFAC. “That was because all these different arts groups came here and were kind of under our umbrella.

“But now those arts organiza-

tions have all gotten stronger, which is great, and they’ve moved out.”

Those groups have taken with them rental revenue that TFAC administrators must try to replace as they move forward.

She said most everything is on the table – from the word “fine” in the name, which could inti-mate an unwanted air of exclusivity to some, to capital improvements.

Originally, the stymied fund-raising drive was to be for a new building that would extend TFAC’s reach, but she said board members may redirect that drive after its fall

strategy session.“Whatever we do, we want to be

good stewards of the money we are given,” she said. “That’s why we’re stepping back and looking at what

we need.“There’s a

lot of thinking and a lot of self-examination.”

Child points to the newly renovated the-

ater, which recently hosted the Tryon Little Theater’s production of “Charlotte’s Web,” as a perfect venue for local performing artists and possibly even for special movie nights that could introduce more people to the center.

“We want to bring people here who might not otherwise come to TFAC,” she said.

To that end, the local rock group, Wishgrove, will take the stage at TFAC Sept. 25, following a dinner at Farwell Garden.

“The theater is a great venue for so many things,” Child said. “But it is expensive to rent because of the heating and cooling costs. We have great lighting and an outstanding sound system. We hope people will consider finding sponsors to help underwrite some of those costs.”

While the upcoming season in-cludes several large shows, TFAC also continues to host the works of

The Division of Water Qual-ity should be ready to place the reclassification of the Green River on its environmental management committee agenda next spring, Odom said.

The City of Saluda, which will also be affected by reclassification, has already given its blessing. It would be best if Henderson County also would give its approval, Odom said, but the state could act without it.

“We just have to wait and see,” Odom said. “We have to go through the process and see. A

watershed reclassification can be approved without letters of support from all the affected property own-ers. It has been done.”

Polk County decided to pur-chase Lake Adger in May, 2008 from Northbrook Carolina Hydro LLC, and closed the $1.6 million purchase late last year. The county plans to seek the proper permits to draw as much as 8 million gallons per day from the Green River, us-ing an intake on Lake Adger.

The county’s longterm plans call for construction of a “multi-year, multi-phase water system” to serve county residents, most of whom, 80 percent, get their water from wells now.

In an early phase, the county plans to build a 1- or 2-MGD treat-ment plant on property at the county transfer station in Mill Spring, expandable for future needs. One or two million gallons per day will be plenty large enough to serve the county’s needs for the forseeable future, commissioners have said.

No water can be drawn from Lake Adger, however, until the Green River is reclassified as a public water supply.

Polk County originally asked the state to reclassify the Green River watershed as a Water Sup-ply Class IV, which would have affected only the acreage in Polk County. However, the state insisted

on a WS-III classification, calling the Green River “a gem” which should be protected.

The county set aside $10,000 last year and has budgeted another $200,000 this year to create a fund for future repairs to the Turner Shoals Dam on Lake Adger.

“The county needs to set aside at least $200,000 per year for many years,” said county manager Ryan Whitson, as engineering reports have estimated future repairs running into the millions will be required.

However, those engineering reports also said that to build an impoundment the size of Lake Adger today would cost over $30 million.

Main Stage performancesOct. 3: Paul Taylor’s “Taylor 2.” Back by popular demand, this group of

six dancers packed the hall in 2007. They continue to garner rave reviews, touring the globe with the same athleticism, humor, and range of emotions demonstrated in Taylor’s larger dance company. Because of their strong interest in teaching and community outreach, they are offering a master class for young people the morning fol-lowing the performance.

Nov. 19: New Orleans’ own “Hot 8 Brass Band” will enliven the stage with the fiery and energetic magic of New Orleans street music, including the traditional second line parades. Catapulted to fame in Spike Lee’s original documentary on Hurricane Katrina, they once again appear in his second film just released on HBO to honor the 5th Anniversary of the destruction. Many of the band members began playing together in high school and have endured the tragedy of losing members to gang violence. A special school performance will take place earlier that day.

March 10, 2011: The award-winning traditional Irish group “Danu” will give its only performance in western North Carolina. Visiting the United States twice a year from their home in County Waterford, they bring high-energy performances that are a mix of ancient Irish music and new repertoire. Having recorded seven critically ac-claimed albums and performed around the world, “Danu” exhibits mastery of the flute, tin whistle, fiddle, button accordion, bouzouki, and Irish and English vocals.

Other community eventsSept. 25: “Wishgrove,” a local rock band, will be on stage, with a din-

local and regional artists in its gal-leries and on its walls. Local artists continue to draw, paint and sculpt on the building’s lower levels.

The “Po’ Kitties photo contest will be featured with the photos of more than 300 animals later this year with the awards ceremony scheduled for Nov. 6.

TFAC will kick off the holidays with the “Do It Yourself Messiah” – a community sing-along to parts of Handel’s "Messiah" that is open to the public.

“We want (the center) to belong to the community,” Child said. “We want to give children and adults a chance to use it.”

While Tryon has become some-thing of an enclave for artists of all types – from poets to sculptors to photographers – Child said she hopes TFAC can become a desti-nation for those artists and for art enthusiasts throughout the region.

“We do want to be an arts destination,” she said. “That’s another thing that helps Polk County. It helps us and other arts organizations, the Flag Museum – everyone.”

Saluda to enforce water/sewer policy regarding wellsby Leah Justice

Saluda sewer customers who have wells will soon be asked either to place a meter on their wells or to pay the city’s rate of 60 gallons per day per resident for sewage treatment.

Saluda City Council Mon-day asked city administrator Erny Williams to contact at least four sewer customers who are not on city water but have wells. Williams was directed to give those customers a choice of either placing a meter on their wells or paying the rate of 60 gallons per household mem-ber per day for their sewage service, according to the city’s water and sewer policy.

Williams explained that the city’s policy needs to be fol-

lowed so the city knows what is being discharged into the system. He said this is needed to be sure state regulations for safe drinking water are met.

The city’s policy states that customers on city sewer must also be on city water, but of-ficials said on Monday that clause was placed in there for new utilitiy customers. The customers now on sewer but not water were grandfathered in when the policy was started.

The customers will be con-tacted and asked to meet with Williams regarding their op-tions. Officials estimated that installing a well meter will cost about $2,500, which the homeowner will be required to pay for.

Retired trooper injured when his motorcycle hit deer

A retired North Carolina High-way Patrol sergeant was seriously injured when he hit a deer while riding his motorcycle near the Pea Ridge Rd. exit on Hwy. 74. The incident occurred last Friday at about 11:30 p.m.

Mike Benfield of Dixie Trail, Rutherford County, was air-lifted to Mission Hospitals in Asheville.

According to the Forest City Digital Courier, Benfield was riding his 1993 Honda motor-cycle when a deer ran out in front of him; he hit the deer and then crashed off the right side of the road.

Benfield was treated in the neuro-trauma intensive care unit at Mission. His current condition is unknown.

Wolverines, Cards debut in jamborees

Polk County’s Gabrial mingorance, left, goes through a drill as Tyler Philpott holds the blocking dummy. (staff photo by john Clayton)

PCHS pulling double dutyby john Clayton

polk County High head foot-ball coach Bruce ollis said his team is in good condition thanks to an offseason of hard work.

that theory will be put to the test starting tonight at 6 o’clock with the Wolverine Jamboree hosted by the Wolverines at pCHs and then again saturday with the 6th annual Border showcase Classic at shelby.

Meanwhile, Landrum faces rs Central in a scrimmage to-night beginning at 6 p.m. before heading to the Ironcity Football Classic to face southside Chris-tian Friday night.

tonight’s Wolverine Jambo-ree features four teams, all of which will be on the field at the same time in a controlled scrim-mage. offenses will work from the 40-yard-lines in toward the goal.

“each team will get about 45 snaps on offense and about 45 on defense – that’s about three quarters,” said ollis.

the Wolverines will turn around and play one half of football saturday in the Border showcase against south Carolina Class 4a power Byrnes.

“I’m really pleased with our conditioning. It’s very good,” ollis said. “teams that are well conditioned win some early games, and I think we’ve done that in the past.”

Winning isn’t necessarily the issue in preseason jamborees, but teams can find momentum early if they perform well.

ollis said he does not ex-pect starting quarterback andre overholt, the preseason Western Highlands Conference player of the Year, to participate in the

Wolverine Jamboree due to an ankle injury suffered this past summer that is still not com-pletely healed.

overholt’s absence will al-low backup Cody orick to get valuable snaps in against live competition, ollis said.

each of polk County’s three scrimmages tonight will be at the end of the field closest to the scoreboard.

the Wolverines start off against pisgah, then take on asheville and end the night against east rutherford.

At the near end of the field, closer to the concession stand, east rutherford begins the night against asheville, and then faces pisgah. pisgah and asheville face off in the finale.

teams will be afforded short breaks between scrimmages.

the scrimmage could be extended beyond the regular 40-yard-line matchups to include special situations such as goal-line and long-yardage.

tonight’s jamboree will be broadcast locally on WJFJ 1160-aM and at WJFJradio.com.

LHS hosts R-S Central, heads to ‘Ironcity’ eventby john Clayton

Landrum will face a familiar foe when it tees up a football at 6:30 Friday night at the Ironcity Kickoff Jamboree at Blacksburg (s.C.) High school.

Friday night’s jamboree is just part of a big weekend of high school preseason football that actually begins tonight with the Wolverine Jamboree at polk County High school. pCHs will also be involved in the 6th-annual Border showcase Classic satur-day night at shelby.

the Cardinals will face re-gion II-a foe southside Christian in the second of four halves of football to be played in Friday night’s jamboree. LHs also hosts rs-Central at 6 p.m. today in a controlled scrimmage.

In other two-quarter contests at the Ironcity Jamboree, Chesnee will face A.L. Brown in the first contest, Broome will meet King’s Mountain in the third contest and Blacksburg plays McCormick in the nightcap.

LHs head coach russell Ma-haffey said he would prefer not to play a region competitor that he will see again during the regular season, but the need to see live action prior to the season out-weighed those concerns.

“this is the way it came out in the meeting we had, so we’ll do it,” Mahaffey said. “Blacksburg actually plays (southside Chris-tian) twice during the regular sea-son, so I agreed to play them.”

Mahaffey said standouts dur-ing the first week of practice have included running back Cole McDowell and linebacker Kaleb Kuykendal.

“Cole’s been moving the ball well, and I like Caleb’s at-titude on defense and the way he’s playing the position,” said Mahaffey.

Mahaffey also praised his

offensive and defensive lines as well as the receiving corps, but is anxious to see those players perform outside of practice.

“It’s time to go hit somebody else,” Mahaffey said.

William F. GordonWilliam F. Gordon of Tryon

Estates, Columbus, died Tues-day of complications from a recent fall. He was born August 20, 1925 in Ramsey, N.J., to Frank and Mabel Cook Gordon.

After graduation from Ram-sey High School in 1943 he joined the Army Corps of En-gineers and served

in the ETO. In 1947 he married Doris Seitz Gordon and they raised three children, Kim, Bill Jr. and Karyl, in homes they built together.

In Wyckoff, N.J., Bill was an Indian Guides leader, a Little League coach, troop master of Boy Scout Troop 570, com-mander of VFW Post 6761 and a board member of the local YMCA.

Following many years as a builder in New Jersey, Doris and Bill bought Meadowbrook Manor Riding Farm in the Pocono Mts. of Pennsylvania. Later he built several communi-ties of homes in the area.

In their 63 years of marriage, Bill and Doris traveled exten-sively and moved to Columbus in 2001. Bill was preceded in death by his son in 1992 and wife, Doris, in 2008. He is survived by daughter Kim and her husband Richard Sewell of Maine; daughter Karyl Gordon-Darley of Florida; grandchil-dren Gavin Sewell, Bronwyn Sewell and William Gordon Darley.

In acknowledgment of the great care he received, the family requests that memorial donations be made to St. Luke’s Hospital, 101 Hospital Dr., Columbus, N.C. 28722.

A memorial service will be held Friday, August 13 at Tryon Estates at 2 p.m.

reflect our mountain heritage and showcase the skills of our residents, which makes these competitions truly unique.”

Competitions are divided into three categories: Division I for Gen-eral Exhibits and Special Cooking Contests, Division II for Livestock Shows and Division III for Music, Dance and Song.

“Canned goods, wood carvings, quilts, handmade clothing, honey, shoe box floats, flowers, photog-raphy, art and jewelry are among the items that can be entered in the General Exhibits category,” Buch-anan said. “So there is a competi-tion for almost every interest.”

Each competition has its own rules, guidelines and deadline for entry submission, and residents should check the details for compe-titions they are interested in.

The N.C. Mountain State Fair takes place September 10 through 19 at the WNC Ag Center. Advance discount tickets are on sale now at the WNC Ag Center, the WNC Farmers Market and at all western North Carolina Ingles stores. For more information, visit www.mountainfair.org or call 828-687-1414.


Whether you have been prepar-ing a calf for the show ring or fine tuning a favorite recipe for this year’s N.C. Mountain State Fair, you need to get your entry forms filled out soon. The entry dead-lines are fast approaching for most competitions.

Entries for the llama shows must be in by August 13, and the deadline for the remaining livestock shows is August 18. Entries for most of the music and dance competitions are due August 20 or August 30, and the deadline for most of the cooking, crafting or other general competitions is August 30.

Residents can get an entry form by picking up a copy of the premium book at the Western N.C. Ag Center in Fletcher or the WNC Farmers Market on Brevard Road in Asheville. An electronic version of the premium book, with download-able forms, can be found online at www.mountainfair.org.

BRHJA horse show to benefit local humane societies

The Blue Ridge Hunter Jumper Association (BRHJA) is hosting a joint benefit for Foothills Humane Society and the Rutherfordton County Humane Soci-ety on Saturday, August 21, at Harmon Field. There will be a ringside dinner at 6:30 p.m. and the main event will be a Professional/Amateur Hunter Challenge.

The Pro/Am Challenge is part of the three day Summer’s End Horse Show sponsored by BRHJA. This will be the first time this type of event has been offered and will feature the group’s finest local rid-ers and horses. Another new class will be a Thoroughbred Hack which will precede the challenge. To liven up the evening, more entertainment will be provided with pony rides and a kissing booth.

This is the fifth year that

BRHJA has hosted this benefit for the two humane societies. All proceeds from the dinner, sponsors and donors go to the societies to help fund their

s p a y / n e u t e r programs which have been so successful in controlling pet ove rpopu l a -

tion. The animal pick-up in both counties is down by double digit percentages and this fundraiser is credited with being instrumental in producing these encouraging results.

The ringside dinner will feature a “barbecue picnic” with homemade desserts. Tickets are available at the show office at Harmon Field and on the grounds or in ad-vance at The Farm House in Landrum. Board members from each humane society will also be selling tickets.

Bergman to play Rogers ParkThe Town of

Tryon presents an evening with Dana Bergman with spe-cial guest David Kushubar on Fri-day, August 13 at 7 p.m. at Rogers Park.

Bergman is an acoustic singer/songwriter who focuses on a wide range of classic folk/rock ballads and melo-dies in the styles of such artists as Paul Simon, James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Harry Chapin, Cat Stevens and John Denver, to name few of many.

His repertoire comprises well known classics from the late 50s thru the Woodstock era and into the 1970s, and his original music is satiri-cally inspired by his own life’s experiences.

Advice for Young Adults

by Andy Millard

We’ve talked a lot about being honest with yourself, about understanding who you are. Let’s take a moment to consider what it means to live each moment at peace with who you are.

Most of us know at least one person who is an authen-tic, genuinely nice person – someone who doesn’t appear to have a de-ceitful bone in his or her body. You could also probably name someone who is the polar opposite of that first person, someone who, even if you like him or her, just seems to come off as artificial – a phony.

One of the great personal challenges each of us faces is being true to who we are while at the same time attempting to live each day as our very best self. The challenge involves trying to improve your atti-tude, skills, and contributions without pressing to the point of overreaching. Tim Russert was

a good example of this type of person.

Born in 1950, Timothy J. Russert grew up in Buffalo, New York, in an Irish-Catholic, working-class family. His fa-ther, “Big Russ,” worked for the sanitation department. Tim at-tended a local Catholic school, received his bachelor’s degree

from John Car-roll University, and earned his l a w d e g r e e from Cleveland State. In 1984,

he joined NBC News, where he eventually became host of the Sunday morning interview show Meet the Press and chief of the Washington Bureau.

Russert’s on-air personality was always warm and appar-ently genuine, although most viewers obviously didn’t really know the man. But then he died suddenly on June 13, 2008, and the tributes started pouring in. The picture presented was that of a genuinely good guy, a friendly, happy fellow – an hon-est, honorable man who loved

lesson 86: Be who you are, and be happy about it

his job, his family, his faith, and the Buffalo Bills football team. Although he was a tough in-terviewer, he treated everyone with warmth and respect, from the city trash collector to the President of the United States.

In addition to being one of the great journalists of his time (Time magazine listed him as one of their “100 most influential people in the world” in 2008), Tim Russert was a person who strove to make the most of his considerable gifts while remaining true to who he was.

You could do a lot worse than following the example of Tim Russert. Be who you are, and be happy about it.

Dancers from Dance Dynam-ics in Tryon started the competi-tion season with a bang as they had five dances qualify in the overalls out of eight routines at the Star Talent Dance Competi-tion.

Two groups qualified to dance in the opening number of the Star Talent Nationals in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The Teen Tap Group and the Junior Tap Group both scored 5th Overall out of all the groups in their respected ages - Teen (13 and over) and Junior (12 and under). Both dances were invited to dance in the opening number at Nationals.

The Teen Tap Group consists of Sarah Cash, Alyssa Fincher, Mallori Inman, Katelin McCall, Aliyha Mullins, Mary Elizabeth Prince, and Lindy Wicklund.

The Junior Tap Group consists of Alex Bosket, Nora Contre-ras, Samantha Haase, Keileigh McMurray, Graci Moser, Ciara Sikes, and Madison Whitener.

The Teen Jazz Group, “Ca-labria,” won High Gold and the Junior Jazz Group also won High Gold with their routine “Paris to Berlin.”

Sarah Cash was 2nd overall

in the Teen Soloist Division with her tap routine, “Virtual Insan-ity,” and Mary Elizabeth Prince was 4th Overall in the Teen Solo-ist Division with a lyrical routine, “Listen.”

Keileigh McMurray was the 7th Overall winner in the Junior Soloist Division with her tap routine, “Keileigh’s Jam.” Other High Gold Soloists were Nora Contreras with a jazz routine “Rockin’ Robin” and Graci Mo-ser with her tap routine, “Mellow Saxophone.”

The Petite Jazz Group com-peted for the first time together and received a High Gold Award for their jazz routine, “Funky-town.” This group consists of Bethany Bruce, Julia Griffin, Gra-cie Lance, Alaina McCall, Hope Patterson, Aislin Salerno, Maggie Wilson, and Kinslee Wright.

Dance Dynamics will have new classes begin in the fall for ages three and up. Registration will be August 19. Call the studio for more information.
