If you are serious about seeing art, you're willing to get your car dirty. Now any old run of the mill curiosity seeker will make the trek to Penland. Our disappointment didn’t last long. On our way back to Blowing Rock, we stopped at Altapass Orchard near Little Switzerland. More than an orchard, Altapass is a non- profit operation. They grow heirloom vari- ety apples, harbor butterflies and have an incredible display garden. Through the sum- mer, the orchard is sponsoring a play about that mountain pirates also known as tunnel bandits could be lurking. I know it sounds ridiculous but prove it’s not true. We did make it through the tunnels unscathed, at least this time. Stopping at McKinney Overlook, we took in a storm. In the distance, the rain was visible. A huge cloud slowly passed to our left, floating over the land. Lightning streaked through the distant sky. It was dinner time but we were not ready to go. This was food for the soul. A train whistle blew in the distance. The tracks wound through the mountains. Because I usually see trains passing through towns, I forget that they also make their way through some remote locations. the battle of Kings Mountain. An Over Mountain Man descendant must be behind that one. This leg of the parkway has several tun- nels. This would be fine except one of us, I won't say which, has a great phobia of tun- nels. The whole fear is based on the notion What a vocation that conductor must. have. Roaring through some of the most beautiful scenery in the world, no traffic to contend with. Of course even that’s no per- fect job. There's always those mountain pirates to look out for. GARY From 4A take them off the minute you entered the building. If we'd worn some of the things kids wear today we would have been labeled “sissy,” Service on E. King St. Value of the machine was $2,200.

Boys and girls wore white socks, and some of them had little printed rings around the top of them. And we would have never even thought about wearing bedroom shoes or pajamas to school. Why in the world would any school administrator ever allow pajamas to be worn at school in the first place? You shouldn’t need a policy against that! Just prior to the start of school, parents bought your school clothes for the entire year. If you wore the knees out of your britches, momma just patched them up. We had a fad and didn’t know it! Today that’s in vogue. Sometimes our shirt was made out of feed sacks. If we wore a cap, it was either for use on the ball field or it was winter and they had fold-down ear muffs made onto the side of them. In either case, you knew to but I guess kids today would figure a boy wearing white socks to be sissy. If boys had gone to school in the fifties with an earring in their ear a teacher proba- bly would have either jerked it out, sent them home or paddled their back side. If we'd worn a ring in our nose the agriculture teacher probably would have hitched us out in a field to graze, after which the principal would have expelled us. Our “sweatband” was either a handker- chief or our shirt sleeve. There's one thing the principal would have never seen and gotten the chance to expel us for, and that’s these baggy britches today that appear to be tied just above the knee. They would have never stayed up in those days. As soon as the buses rolled and the word got out kids would have come from all around to pull them down and laugh you right off campus. local work force develop- ment associates. The ESC Employer Awards were first given in 1987. NOVEMBER 4, 2003 Paid for by the Candidate JIM From 4A The news media quotes Graham as if he is the absolute authority on the subject, but chooses to assign no weight whatsoev- er to the words of the presi- dent. This clamor is designed to create confusion and dis- trust, and it will continue until the next presidential election. That's how they work. No sitting president will ever again complete a term without someone question- ing his integrity and hon- esty, and that goes for both parties. Defending your per- sonal principles and dodg- ing the darts of lies and innuendo is now part of presidential politics. Wouldn't you like to see a nice clean race without all the hullabaloo about lying to the public, running around with women and all the sor- did sides of every candi- date? j We don’t hold a presiden- tial election anymore, we hold a soap opera. Frankly, most people are not looking forward to all those campaign ads that are already beginning to show up on the tube and in the newspapers. The Hollywood crowd just makes matters worse. Last week, the “brilliant” Sean Penn made another speech about what a terrible man George Bush is. Now Ed Asner and Willie Nelson have signed up to support Howard Dean of Vermont. There is an answer, of ble. course. There always is.
