Long Leaf Pine Award
Suzi Kennedy, executive director of Life Enrichment
Center, was recently recognized with the Order of the Long
Leaf Pine, the highest civilian honor given by the governor
of North Carolina.
Rep. Debbie Clary, on behalf of Gov: Mike Easley, present-
ed the award at the Rotary Club meeting at Cleveland
Country Club.
“The award was presented to Suzi for her outstanding
service to our community and the state of North Carolina,”
Clary said. “Her dedication to improving the quality of life
for disabled and senior adults has touched the lives of more
families than she will ever know.”
In 1980, Kennedy opened the LEC, an adult day health
service, which makes it possible for families to keep their
disabled or ill adult loved ones living at home but safe,
supervised, and stimulated during the day. In 1995, LEC
became the first adult day care in North Carolina to build a
facility from the ground up and was the only training
model for centers receiving NC start-up grants. LEC has
also been designated a national teaching model.
Among her accomplishments, Kennedy began a student
respite program for high school occupations students; was a
member of the NC governor's Long-Term Care
Commission; was an advisor to the state’s Division of Social
Services in the development of curriculum to educate adult
day care provides; has presented at the Duke University
Alzheimer’s Disease Research Conference; was a member of
the National Council on Aging and the National Institute
on Adult Day Care's Task Force; and is a consultant with
Wake Forest University School of Medicine’s Partners in
Caregiving Program.
She is a past winner of the Cleveland County
Distinguished Woman of the Year.

Open Gate Garden Club meets
i
The Open Gate Garden Club met
March 10 in the parlor of the ARP
Church. Grace Talbert, hostess, served
dessert to 15 members and two guests.
Margie Bridges, president, welcomed
members.
Timely tips were given by Phyllis
Carpenter. She noted this is a good
time to select and add azaleas to gar-
dens. For best results, plant one color
en masse. Azaleas like acid soil and
+ prefer high filtered shade like that
under pine trees. Mulch with pine nee-
dles or pine bark to protect their fine
fibrous roots.
Plant thyme, mint and oregano now.
Be sure to wait until all danger of frost
has passed before planting dill, fennel
and basil. In this area, the last frost is
generally April 15. Prune deciduous
shrubs such as spires, quince, and for--/+
sythia once they have quit blooming.
Nine crepe myrtle shrubs have been
planted in the back lot restoration proj-
ect. A sign will be put up in memory of
Margaret Tate.
A beautiful container of shamrocks
was displayed along with a copy of the
Irish Blessing on an easel.
Jessie Collins introduced Christine
Carroll, who presented an interesting
and informative program on “Fences.”
A fence is a barrier enclosing or bor-
dering a field, yard or other area. It
prevents entrance, confines animals or
people, or marks a boundary. It can be
made from a large variety of materials,
such as stone, wood, wire, iron, steel,
glass, fiberglass, plastic, clay, bricks
and live plants.
No one knows when the first fence
was built, but the largest one was
‘begun during the 3rd century’BC, and
many sections still remain. That is the
Great Wall of China. Its base was 15 to
30 feet thick and its height averaged 25
feet. It was approximately 1500 miles
long.
Fences during Biblical times were
actually walls built around cities for
protection. They were usually 12 feet
thick.
Wire fencing was first used in the
1800s. Barbed wire and woven wire
were developed between 1860 and
1883 when the first wire was produced
for sale. The industry grew rapidly.
A good neighbor fence should be
attractive on both sides.
Ms. Carroll showed slides of many
varieties of fences.
The friendship basket was won by
Grace Talbert.
A silent auction was held at the close
of the meeting.
