In Step With Steve

Oh the beauty of Spring! You don't need an RSVP, just open your eyes and enjoy its radiance. Springtime is a time of celebrating new life. Just look around and let the beauty of blooming flowers and shrubs, and blossoming trees invigorate you. The colors have been especially glorious this Spring, not only here at Lake Junaluska, but also in the mountains surrounding us. Take a drive and let the beauty of the wildflowers erase the memories of the cold, bleak win-

ter. Or go for a walk and let the wonder of Spring and the songs of the birds invigo-rate you. Yes, there is new life to celebrate all around us. And having just experi-enced the Easter celebration of the resurrection and new life in Christ, we have many reasons to rejoice and be glad. May the risen Lord visit you afresh and renew you on the path you are traveling, giving you reason to join in the celebration of Spring.

The Daffodils

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o’er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle in the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company;

I gazed – and gazed – but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordsworth

This ‘n That………………………………………………………..APW Jack Over my favorite Lambuth Sunday buffet -- fried chicken as the entree -- along with the required biscuit, iceberg lettuce (mostly the whiter part: who needs green?) topped with pepitas and garbanzo beans and broccoli salad, Lambuth creamy potato salad that should be copyrighted, unsweetened ice tea topped with a splash of sweet, and chocolate mousse, these thoughts about…

A Hiccup Hiatus March 2016 will go down in my personal history as a notable memory. I spent 12 days with hiccups. They came with no notice. And, the morning of day 13, I woke up and

they were gone. But for those 12 days, it was night and day misery. There were multiple doctors' visits and prescriptions along with diag-nostic testing. My reaction beyond the exhaustion? We can put a man on the moon. We have invented the Internet, or at least Al Gore claims to have invented it. But re-solving hiccups over an extended time period is a modern medical mystery, I've learned. There are many more home spun cures than scientific strategies for a cure. What was suggested from those around me – and that I tried -- included:

Drinking cold water: with my nose pinched; or with me bent over and from the top of glass; or with 9 swallows while holding my breath; or with my nose pinched while having my ears plugged tightly. Taking a tablespoon of Apple cider vinegar; or consuming a small glass of pickle juice; or swallowing a teaspoon of honey or a teaspoon of sugar. Holding my breath and counting to 30 slowly; or with my nose pinched (“no water needed” was the counsel); Twirling a dead cat in a paper bag over my head while singing Amazing Grace and standing on a bathroom stool in the dark, late at night. (Just kidding on that one. )

Also I tried what was the "only FDA approved medicine" according to my doctor: an antipsychotic drug that turned my world into slow motion for a day and required Sharon to drive me anywhere we went. How tiring was it? With an average of 3 hours of sleep each night, broken into naps mostly as the result of exhaustion, I have calculated I hiccupped approximately 680,400 times (12 days X 21 hrs per day X 60 minutes per hour X 45 average hiccups per hour). No wonder I was exhausted. The up side? My sharp witted younger daughter notes that with all that abdomen exercise resulting from my malady, I should already see six pack abs. It's not an exercise strategy I would endorse. So why am I whining about all that now? And what does this have to do with a column from a person with the moniker of "APW Jack"? Because the other story that goes with my hiccup hiatus is what I experienced from those around me -- from new as well as long-standing caring friends, my Lake Junaluska neighbors and those throughout my community, along with fam-ily and those with whom I work. First of all -- though I got a few knowing smiles -- those who love and care for me did not openly smirk and laugh out loud. Not once. I got loved on. I got prayed for, in groups and one on one. With others I was assured that prayers were said for me. In short, it's what you can expect when you invest yourself in our loving community we call Lake Junaluska. It truly is a place of renewal of soul, mind and body, with right-hearted folks...an affirmation of why Sharon and I came here. Thank you.

Jack Carlisle, AWP Director

Greeting visitors on this spring morning to the Museum are the flags of Belgium, Guyana, Pakistan and Peru. Special prayers are asked for the people in these countries with Belgium and Pakistan particularly lifted up as terror has again taken innocent lives, killing at random in Brussels with Christians being targeted in Lahore, Pakistan. May there be peace on earth. Francis Asbury is highlighted in Museum exhibits as the 200th anniversary of his death is commemorated on March 31. Differences are often made by one committed individual - such was the case with Asbury who trav-eled more than a quarter of million miles on horseback, sharing the word and love of God to people of the American frontier. Perhaps equally important was his organization and sending forth of the circuit riders who endured many adverse conditions. ************************************************************************************* World Methodist Museum invites your participation A special exhibit highlighting Francis Asbury commemorates the 200th anniversary of his death on March 31. The Museum’s collections include a Salisbury painting as well as letters and ordination papers, his personal snuff box, a candle table, a special chair from the Killian house, and many other items, some of which are very rare. A hike of the Asbury Trail is planned for Saturday, April 23 with participants departing from the Museum at 8:30 a.m. Free and open to the public, pre-registration is required. From Mount Sterling Gap to Cataloochee Creek, about 3.5 miles, a peaceful and relaxing morning is planned. Pre-register by April 18 by emailing [email protected], calling (828) 456-7242 or mail-ing Box 518, Lake Junaluska NC 28745. you may also register in person at the Museum at 575 North lakeshore Drive. Hikes should

bring a trail lunch and the amount of water needed and that can be carried. Comfortable clothing and hiking shoes are recommended. Richard Allen, founder of African Methodist Episcopal Church, was celebrated by the issuance of a stamp by the

US Postal Service in February. The artwork and new stamp are featured in a Museum display as well as a portrait of Allen by Currier and Ives. The Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday. Volunteers are needed and asked to assist for three hours monthly and may choose mornings from 9 to noon or afternoons from 1:00 to 4:00 March through November. Director Jackie Bolden explains that there are myriad tasks from which volunteers may choose. Some volunteers, such as Mary Deck who is a director of the Friends, assist on a weekly basis. Mary urges others to get involved even with just special events, adding that it is a fulfilling and educational opportunity.

Jack Ewing ……………………………………..Executive Director’s Column Board of Trustees Meeting Review

The semi-annual meeting of the Lake Junaluska Assembly, Inc. Board of Trustees was held March 3 & 4, 2016. The meeting began with an orientation for three new Trustees - Mickey Rain-water, John Scott, and Robert Taft. Mickey is the Senior Pastor of Fairview United Methodist Church in Maryville, TN. He and his wife Joy have owned a condo at Tri-Vista since 2001. John Scott is an attorney in Elizabethtown, KY and he and his wife Sandra have been Tri-Vista Condo owners for many years as well. Robert Taft is a retired executive with Sonoco Products Company in Hartsville, SC. He and his wife Rebecca retired in Waynesville. His family has had property at

Lake Junaluska for most of our existence. In my oral report to the Board on Thursday afternoon I identified the top ten accomplishments of the last five years, which included: The development of a mission statement that people know and own The transition to a highly functioning new governance structure Living within our means Finding the resources to update key facilities: Jones Dining Hall and Terrace Hotel Investing in our outdoor spaces: the Children’s Playground, fishing pier, meditation garden Improved quality of hospitality and service Development of our advancement team and their amazing fundraising results Dramatically improved marketing Staffing – getting the right people on the bus and the right people in the right seats on the bus Helping people understand that the word “profit” is not negative. I then invited the Board to identify, in conversation with one other Trustee, 1) our greatest assets, 2) experiences they hope people will continue to have when they come to Lake Junaluska in the future, and 3) core values that are essential to preserve. We will be inviting them to further refine these over the next month and will share them with you in the future. There were very few action items at this Board meeting but the engagement of the Trustees in various conversa-tions was excellent. A revision to the Gift Acceptance Policy was approved that clarifies how to handle “gifts-in-kind”. The Board also approved a policy related to the building of future docks in the lake. As you know, the land under the lake is owned by Lake Junaluska Assembly, Inc. even when there are docks that have been built by indi-vidual property owners. The new policy states that there will be no new docks built in or on the lake that are owned by or controlled by individuals or groups of individuals. All future docks will be built and controlled by Lake Junaluska Assembly, Inc. We are blessed to have a great Board of Trustees who are deeply committed to Lake Junaluska and its mission. The next time you see one of them please thank them for their service. By the way, Steve Berwager, President of

the Junaluskans, is a member of the Board of Trustees.

Live and Learn April 22, 2:00 PM

Bethea Welcome Center The unique culture of our Southern Highlands is in large part due to the immigration of the Celtic Scots-Irish people. They brought with them their music, their food, their liquid refresh-ments, and many other aspects of mountain living. The April

Live and Learn program will explore this remarkable heritage with the help of a uniquely qualified speaker, Flora MacDonald Gammon. Flora grew up in eastern North Carolina. She has lived in Haywood County for 46 years. Flora has performed at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games since her teens, and is Director of Music of the games. She has been elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland (FSA, Scot), and is an honorary member of Celtic Women International. Flora has served on the Board of Directors of Folkmoot USA, and currently is an Ambassador for the festival. For a number of years, she has been active in teaching Road Scholar classes, lecturing on Scottish history, working as an artist-in-residence in the public schools of NC and SC, and performing. Flora was named an “Exceptional Celtic Woman” by the Conference of Celtic Women in 2008, the only American to receive this award. Boyd Holiday, Publicity

Corneille Bryan Native Garden The other day a friend showed me some pictures he had taken on his phone of some of the native plants in bloom in the Native Garden now. Shortia, Trout Lily, Spring Beauty, and Bloodroot were just a few of the ones he had taken, but many others are in bloom now and are so lovely. One of my favorites are the Celandine or Woodland Poppies, those bright spots of vivid yellow that can be seen especially in the upper Garden. There is fresh mulch on the paths and loveliness is waiting for you there. The annual native plant sale will be Saturday April 30 at the upper Garden just off County Road from 9:00 until 12:00. Come and buy and not only help the Na-tive Garden, but some of Spring's native flowers will show up in your garden next spring. Janet Lilley
