After two days of golf and a sudden death shootout among flight winners, Curt McKinney and his guest Bruce Carothers won this year’s Member-Guest Tournament. After shooting a net 57 (15 under par) on Saturday, they followed up with a net 63 on Sunday to win their flight. This put them into a sudden death shootout with four other flight winners to determine the Tournament Champions. Curt and Bruce birded the final hole in the shootout to claim the championship over Eben Williams, Jr. and his son Eben Williams III.

But this was just part of the Member-Guest story line. Tournament festivities actually began at 2:00pm on Friday, May 13th, with an optional 9-hole skins game. Official tournament activities began the next day with an 18 hole best ball competition, lunch and a formal dinner. Activities concluded on Sunday with an 18 hole scramble, lunch buffet, and the shootout. The competition in all the flights was close and the food prepared by the Club was outstanding! The general consensus of the participants (members and guests alike) was that this was truly an outstanding event.

Overall 28 member-guest teams played this year. Prior to the Tournament, the Club’s professional staff divided the teams into flights according to their combined handicaps. This helps to ensure that the teams were evenly matched during the competition. The flight winners and their combined net scores for the two days are shown on the following page.

POLKA DOTS AND STRIPES by Ruth Nunes

LGA NEWS

The weather prediction for May 18th wasn’t too promising, as it forecast showers, even possibly thunderstorms, beginning at 2pm. That was very unwelcome news as the LALGA Polka Dots and Stripes Tournament was

scheduled that very day. More specifically, a preceding luncheon was on tap at 12 with tee off for the tournament to then follow promptly at 2 – just as the rain was supposedly going to begin falling.

I arrived for lunch, expecting a number of players might cancel. Instead, the ready participants showed there is much to be said for the spirit of the LALGA, as not a single player failed to arrive, ready for action.

As usual, lunch was a real treat, as we all had the opportunity to order off the menu. Marshall, Elizabeth and their whole team worked hard to get our orders out in a timely and tasty manner, so that the tournament could begin on time. In point of fact, they were so efficient that many of us had extra time and used the welcome opportunity to hit a few balls on the driving range before play began. Nothing like a warm-up!

Our Pro, Uel Kemp, explained the special rules for this tournament. The fundamental item was the use of a point system for scoring, which worked as follows:

6 points for an Eagle; 4 points for a Birdie; 3 points for a Par; 2 points for a Bogey; and 1 point for a double bogey.

Prior to play each two-person team was assigned points based on their handicap. This process helped to even the playing field, which is, of course, the whole idea behind handicaps. That’s one of the beauties of golf, because it allows below-average players to compete against above-average players as everyone is effectively marked to a single standard.

The tournament was set up as a scramble, meaning the two players on each team played from the chosen better shot after each had hit each shot.

| JULY/AUGUST 2016

LGA NEWS

Naturally, the goal was to earn the largest number of points above the number of points each team was assigned based on the team handicap. The lower the handicap, the more points were assigned to be subtracted. For example, if a team was given 7 points based on its handicap and it had 9 pars, that would yield a base total of 27 points from which the 7 assigned points were deducted, leaving a fi nal score of 20 points for the 9 holes.

With a shotgun start we set out on what ended up being a perfectly beauti ful spring day! (No further comment is needed on the accuracy of weather reports.)

The game moved along quickly and before we knew it my team was one of the fi rst teams back at the clubhouse. My team mate Marti Webb and I returned with 8 points over our handicap which we felt prett y good about, unti l we were brought back to reality when we saw Paula Hall and Eleanor Gibbons return with a score of 10 beyond their handicap. As the other teams returned to the clubhouse and the scores were posted no one was able to top that score. However, you could tell that everyone had a lot of fun.

Congratulati ons to our winners! 1st Place-Eleanor Gibbons, Paula Hall; 2nd Place-Karen Walker, Suzie Champitt o

TENNIS IN THE HEAT by Maury Nunes

Summer is here, along with concomitant heat and humidity. Some may be discouraged from playing, but with the right strategies, no one should be deterred from enjoying a favorite racquet sport.

Your author made an exhaustive (OK, would you believe exhausting?) search of the internet for hints, tips, recommendations and advisories for dealing with the heat. The synthesis of those words of wisdom seem to come down to this:

#1 is Water! The stuff of life in all its wondrous forms. Staying hydrated is the number one weapon for beating the heat. That suggests an adequate sized water bottle, first loaded with ice to which water is added. Some commentators say just freeze a bottle of water and sip it down as it melts. I

think one size doesn’t fit all here and drinking to your point of satisfaction but not beyond, in smaller batches over time, is better. Waiting for ice to melt may interfere with that timetable.

But water also connects with several other critical weapons. One is to soak a small towel – about dish towel size - in cold water, put it in the fridge, and take it with you to the Courts. Wear it like a scarf, but under your shirt collar so it doesn’t flop around. Bring an extra bottle of water to use to splash your head from time to time.

And/or bring a spray bottle filled with water (and maybe some crushed ice) to spray yourself from time to time. There are some inexpensive spray bottles with a built in fan designed for just such a purpose. Most delightful!Bring a small cooler with some ice cubes and rub those on

| JULY/AUGUST 2016

SPORTS & FITNESSyour wrists and the back of the neck. The blood supply is near the surface of the skin there, so cooling those areas transports the cooler blood throughout the body.

#2 is to wear the right clothing. Don’t underestimate the value of a good hat or visor. Call me crazy (many do) but my firm belief is that shading the eyes creates a psychological benefit of feeling like you are in the shade. [I could find no technical support for this postulation, but if anyone knows a Masters or Ph.D. candidate looking for a thesis topic, please put them in touch with me.]

The right clothing consists of garments that aren’t too tight, but also are “breathable” clothing. Cotton is often preferred, but can be exceeded by some of the hi-tech synthetic fabrics. Fabrics that “wick away” perspiration supposedly make you feel cooler.

But, remember, the reason that humans perspire is to cool the body. So constantly wiping away the moisture is likely to make you feel warmer, not cooler. Let the sweat stay and drip or dry, except where it interferes with your vision or your grip.

However, to my knowledge, nothing beats cotton socks, preferably white ones. Putting a sprinkling of bath powder in the socks before you don them will also keep your feet cool. [Yes, I’m aware of the recent concerns about talcum powder, so if that spooks you try the corn starch or other substitutes that have been developed. After all, this is for your feet.]

And light colors tend to reflect heat, rather than absorb it. White is, of course, the lightest. [In Africa, it is well-known that white repels tse-tse flies, so maybe it helps repel Zika carriers as well.]

#3 is shade. Get into it when you can. We are fortunate at Lake Arrowhead to have a shelter at each set of Courts and plenty of trees that sometimes provide shade right on

the Courts themselves. On top of that, except right around noon, the windscreens provide a modicum of shade as well. Even a couple of seconds in the shade and out of the sun, even if you’re only partially shaded, is a plus in keeping you cool.

#4 is, in the words of William Shakespeare, “To thine own self be True.” [Hamlet, Act I, Scene 3.] That concept has twin meanings:

First, see what works best for you. Some people find that some of the sports drinks (like Gatorade, Smart Water, etc.) work better; others (like me) prefer plain water.

Secondly, if you start feeling woozy or experiencing chills or nausea or cramps or trouble breathing or a headache or you begin to feel confused or disoriented, STOP. Express your difficulties, get into the shade, sit down, and take advantage of some of the other cooling tips.

One other point: Sodium – usually in the form of a salt, such as sodium chloride – is essential to maintaining electrolytic balance. Loss of too much sodium through perspiration can upset that balance, which is why many of the sports drinks include a dose of sodium in some form. Same reason Summer camp counselors used to distribute salt pills. My personal preference for sodium adequacy is, roughly 15 minutes before making my grand entrance onto the Courts, to consume a protein-laden hard-boiled egg, well coated with Lawry’s seasoned salt.

Many of us who played Mixed Doubles qualify as seniors; some of us as what might be called senior seniors. We’ve each managed to figure out what works to get the heat under control and if we can do it, you can, too. Even if you haven’t picked up a tennis racquet in years we’ll welcome you. M-W-F at 10 a.m. through September at Red Cloud Park.

LAKE NEWSPADDLE CRAFT CREW WEIGHT Since the opening of the Lake Side Park, we have had more rentals of our paddle craft fleet (paddle boats, kayaks, row boats, john boats, and paddle board). While at the park, these vessels provide an economical way of enjoying the water. These vessels are safe and fun provided they are used the way they were designed. Our biggest concern is the weight limit place on them by the National Marine Manufacturers Association using US Coast Guard guidelines. Overloading the vessel voids our insurance because the boat will sink. To this end, we have published the weight and person limits of each vessel with our prices online at kyscboathouse.com.

These muscle powered vessels are priced between $20 to $25 per hour and can typically sit two people. When you book via our website (kyscboathouse.com) for two or more hours, you get a 10% discount. Just follow the instructions on the top of our booking page. Plus, no credit information is required until we confirm your request via email or phone.

Come enjoy the waters of our beautiful and unique treasure, Lake Arrowhead. We hope all of you have a safe and fun Summer.

CARIBBEAN WINTER SAILING TRIPS INFORMATION MEETINGSThe Boat House will be sponsoring information meetings about trips to the Caribbean this winter. The KYSC Boathouse is connected with many boating and hotel businesses in the Caribbean. It takes about 6 months to put a good trip together. So now is the time to talk about it. We have a wide range of formats available from individual berth pricing to chartering your own vessel. Also, we know of some cool places to stay for those who would want to do a surf and turf thing.

Please visit at our website kyscboathouse.com under the booking/club activities tab for some information. You may contact us via the website or call us on weekends at 770.887.7966 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm to find out when the next meeting is scheduled.

THANK YOU by Chief Rebecca Strobl Lake Arrowhead Volunteer Fire Department wishes to thank everyone that stopped by our table at the LAPOA Community Yard Sale event on June 11. We enjoyed meeting you and serving up some tasty meals. Thanks to your generosity we were able to raise $630.00 that has been used to purchase a (4) Pack of Simuliad Sani Baby CPR Manikins & a (4) Pack of Simuliad Sani-Man CPR Manikins to complete the materials needed to host additional community CPR classes in the community this year and many years to come. Please contact Chief Strobl ([email protected]) if you would like to attend the next class.

We wish to thank our Board of Directors member, Debbie Diacin for her generous donation of two paintings and Olive Garden of Canton for their generous donation of $45 in gift certificates our raffle. Thank you to everyone that purchased tickets and congratulations to our winners. A huge THANK YOU to our sponsors: Publix of Laurel Canyon, Ingels of Canton, Kroger of Canton (4045 Marietta Highway, Canton GA 30114) and BJs of Woodstock. We encourage everyone to frequent these stores and let management know their support of our department is appreciated. Thank you to Helen Bondie and her family for creating a great community event. We look forward to seeing everyone at our table next year.

INJURED BICYCLIST JOINT TRAINING DRILL A SUCCESSby Chief Rebecca Strobl One person set out on a Saturday morning to enjoy a beautiful bike ride in a remote portion of our community and became injured along the way without the ability

to ride their bike back home. They called 911, Station 17 responded (Fire Station across from Lake Chickasaw), Station 17 Volunteers (LAVFD members) were paged & responded and Station 12 Ambulance crew (Waleska) responded. This was the SCENARIO for a multiple department training drill that after months of planning and logistics; was hosted by the Lake Arrowhead Volunteer Fire Department (LAVFD) on May 28th. This drill tested the capabilities of LAVFD’s Ranger 27 Unit (purchased & equipped by the generous donations of the citizens of Lake Arrowhead) to transport an injured individual needing Emergency Medical Care from a remote area (inaccessible by ambulance) to a location in the property where the CCFES (Cherokee County Fire and Emergency Services) ambulance crew was waiting to transport & further treat person in route to hospital, the wilderness EMT & EMR / communication skills of LAVFD members, training / skills of CCFES Crew on Duty that day from Fire Station 17 & Station 12. This drill further enhanced our ability to all work together as one unified force in getting an injured person from a remote portion of Lake Arrowhead emergency medical care ASAP and transporting them to an awaiting ambulance crew.

The drill concluded with the injured person being transported & given initial treatment on Ranger 27 until they arrived at the location where the CCFES ambulance crew was waiting to transport the patient to the hospital. A thorough cleaning of Ranger 27, inventory of used resources during the drill, a delicious lunch (thanks to the donations of Lake Arrowhead residents) and a discussion of valuable lessons learned followed at Station 27 (Fire Station at entrance to Great Festival Park). Our community is now better prepared to handle this situation thanks to the investment of time and effort that everyone made for this event. More of these trainings are in the process of being scheduled so the other two 24/7 CCFES crews (A & C Shifts) at Fire Stations 17 & 12 can also benefit from this type of joint LAVFD & CCFES training.

Thank you again to the LAVFD volunteers and B Shift Crews at CCFES Fire Stations 17 & 12 for making this a valuable training exercise. We wish everyone an enjoyable time in outdoors places of our community and ask that safety is always kept number one.

DROWNING PREVENTION by Chief Rebecca Strobl The pools are now open and Lake Arrowhead’s refreshing water (540 acres and in some places…70 feet deep) is calling all residents for a relaxing swim or boat ride. The purpose of this article is to provide the reader some information on the risk factors for drowning and how to prevent yourself or someone you love from becoming a drowning victim.

The statistics regarding drowning in the United States are worth considering. From 2005-2014, there were an average of 3,536 fatal unintentional drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States — about ten deaths per day; 80% of people drowning are male; about one in five people who die from drowning are children 14 and younger; for every child who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency department care for nonfatal submersion injuries; More than half of fatal and nonfatal drownings among those 15 years and older (57% and 57%

(corrode) other materials. Some common household products that are considered hazardous waste include: batt eries; pesti cides (weed and insect repellents and killers); stains and varnishes; paint and paint thinners; motor oil; fuel and other automoti ve chemicals and materials; anything in an aerosol can; nail polish and remover; hair dyes, perms, and other products; oven cleaner; drain opener; mercury thermometers; fl uorescent light bulbs; moth balls.

Preventi on is key in minimizing the many possible medical issues related to exposure to these chemicals. It is very important to keep these chemicals behind locked doors out of the reach of children and pets. Check out these two great arti cles regarding the possible side eff ects of such exposure (htt p://www.greencleancertified.com/green-cleaning-facts/household-cleaning-products-may-do-more-harm-than-good and htt ps://experiencelife.com/article/8-hidden-toxins-whats-lurking-in-your-cleaning-products/).

Dangerous household chemicals like these menti oned cannot be poured down the sink or toilet — and should never be dumped in grass or a stream. They cannot be thrown in your daily trash cans either. These chemicals could leak, combine, and interact to form serious hazards — they could explode or form a deadly gas. Almost all household chemicals will have instructi ons on the label for how to properly dispose of them. Always read labels and follow the instructi ons to ensure their safe disposal. Don't brush off household chemicals like harmless materials. Check out the following website to fi nd places in GA closest to your home that accepts hazardous waste materials (htt p://www.georgiarecycles.org/residenti al-recycling-programs/hazardous-waste/).

The risk factors for drowning include: lack of swimming abiliti es, lack of barriers around pools, lack of CLOSE supervision, failure to wear life jackets, alcohol use and seizure disorders. Some preventi on steps that can be taken include: learning some swimming skills, CPR so that if someone is pulled from pool or the Lake and you are present…..CPR can be started immediately while CCFES crews / available LAVFD members are on their way to drowning victi m, wear your life jacket (especially when you are out on Lake), close supervision of those in the water (especially seizure disorder individuals) and avoid alcohol.

Those readers that boat, swim and kayak on or in Lake Arrowhead always need to ensure safety is their number one priority. The best way to ensure everyone’s safety on board your boat or kayak is by having all passengers (including the captain) wearing a coast guard approved and proper fi tti ng life vest or personal fl otati on device. The Coast Guard’s Boati ng Safety Division has a great arti cle about life jackets that includes an easy to use sizing chart. (htt p://www.uscgboati ng.org/recreati onal-boaters/life-jacket-wear-wearing-your-life-jacket.php). The North American Safe Boati ng Campaign has a great website illustrati ng the various types of life jackets and the importance of ALWAYS wearing one when you are near or on the water (htt p://www.safeboati ngcampaign.com/checklist.htm). A fun day in the sun on Lake Arrowhead for many readers oft en includes lots of alcohol. The reader should consider the following arti cle from the CDC (htt p://www.cdc.gov/features/boati ngsafety/ ) and watching the following video (htt ps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WKMyr16FZ8) before mixing alcohol in with your boati ng day on Lake Arrowhead.

Thank you for taking the ti me to read this arti cle and the included links with other water safety related arti cles. The reader should please take the ti me to share the informati on learned in these arti cles with those around them to prevent someone we love from drowning.

Being a former food editor/restaurant writer I love eating at good restaurants and trying new dishes. However, when it comes to home cooking, I stick to basics. I think of myself as a frugal cook. Nothing too expensive or exotic comes out of my kitchen. This month’s recipes using chicken and ground beef are typical of the everyday fare we eat at home. I hope our Lake Arrowhead neighbors enjoy trying both dishes and adding these recipes to their collection of home cooking favorites.

JUST THE BASICS AT HOME, PLEASE by Tommy C. Simmons, an enthusiastic cook

CHICKEN BALSAMICOServes 4. Adapted recipe is by Tommy Simmons.

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves1 tbl. olive oil1 clove garlic, mincedHalf a bell pepper, seeded and chopped3 tbls. Balsamic vinegar¾ cup water1 (10 ½-oz.) can cream of chicken soup1 cup diced fresh or canned tomatoes½ cup sliced pitted kalamata olives, optional½ tsp. dried Italian seasoning blend¼ cup crumbled feta cheeseHot cooked pasta, quinoa, couscous or brown rice

1. Pound chicken breasts to a uniform thickness of about ½ inch. Slice flattened chicken into four portions.

2. Heat olive oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Add chicken to skillet and cook for about 10 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides and almost cooked through. Add garlic and bell pepper to hot oil and sauté to soften.

3. Stir in Balsamic vinegar, water, soup, tomatoes, olives and Italian seasoning blend. Simmer for 15 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are cooked through and flavors have melded.

4. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve over pasta, quinoa, couscous or brown rice. Testing note: You can stir in additional chopped vegetables if desired, such as zucchini, squash, eggplant, etc.

TACO PIEServes 6. Adapted recipe is from Bisquick.

1 lb. lean ground beef1 tbl. olive oil1 medium onion, chopped (about ½ cup chopped onion)1 (1 ¼-oz.) envelope taco seasoning mix1 (4 ½-oz.) can chopped green chilies, drained1 cup prepared salsa (I like Pace’s bottled salsa)Dash of chili powderDash of Tabasco Chipotle SauceDash of ground ancho pepper seasoning (optional)½ cup Bisquick baking mix1 cup milk2 eggsDash of red pepperDash of black pepperDash of salt1 cup grated cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a pie plate, Pyrex baking dish or black iron skillet with cooking spray.

2. Cook ground beef in heated olive oil until cooked through. Drain off excess oil. Stir in chopped onion and sauté until onion is softened.

3. Add taco seasoning mix, green chilies and salsa to the ground beef and onions and stir to thoroughly mix. Season with dashes of chili powder, Tabasco Chipotle Sauce and ancho pepper seasoning to taste. Simmer mixture for a couple of minutes to meld flavors. Pour meat mixture into prepared pie plate, dish or skillet.

4. Meanwhile, stir Bisquick mix, milk and eggs in a medium bowl with a whisk, mixer or fork until blended. Season with dash of red pepper, black pepper and salt.

5. Pour Bisquick batter over the meat mixture. I usually poke a fork into the meat through the batter to make sure the batter flows down into the meat a few places. Bake at 375 degrees for about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle grated cheese over the pie. Return to oven and continue baking until browned and bubbly on the edges. (Test with a toothpick to make certain Bisquick crust is cooked through and does not stick to the toothpick.) Remove from oven. Let set for 5 minutes before serving. Testing note: Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated in a microwave. I usually use a whole jar of the medium-seasoned salsa in making the Taco Pie.

Taco Pie is another version of Bisquick’s “Impossibly Easy Pies” – always a hit with family and friends.

JUNE WOMEN’S ACTIVITY CLUB TOUR BARNSLEY GARDEN by Marilyn Charles

On June 9th, a group of Lake Arrowhead women enjoyed a day of beauty and history at Barnsley Resort.

A HISTORIC ESTATE THAT'S UNDENIABLY GEORGIA

History: Behind Barnsley Resort's storybook setti ng is a true story fi lled with as many twists and turns as a work of fi cti on. The original manor, called Woodlands, was an estate built by a man—Godfrey Barnsley—for the love of his life, his wife Julia. Godfrey Barnsley began constructi on on his Italianate villa in the 1840's in the north Georgia foothills, on land that had once been inhabited by the Cherokee Indians. Both the home and its elaborate gardens were inspired by the work of Andrew Jackson Downing, a pioneering landscape designer and proponent of Italianate and gothic revival architecture. Julia never saw the completed home, as she fell ill and passed away. Through the years, the estate has witnessed much history and intrigue, including the Civil War. Today, it emerges as an award-winning desti nati on resort, welcoming guests into a uniquely historic landscape that sti ll echoes with the vision of Godfrey Barnsley.

At right are some historical highlights. To learn more, visit the Barnsley Museum, which is open daily.* There you will hear fascinati ng stories of love, loss and even murder compiled by Barnsley Resort's Historian and Museum Director, Clent Coker.

1824Godfrey Barnsley comes to America from Liverpool, England. He becomes one of the 10 most affl uent men in the South through the shipping business and cott on trade.

1828: Barnsley weds Julia Scarborough of Savannah.

1840s: Barnsley purchases some 4,000 acres of Northwest Georgia land to build Julia a grand mansion.

1845: Sadly, Julia, mother of six, dies of a lung ailment and Barnsley ceases constructi on of the estate.

1846: Barnsley returns to the estate. While there, he dreams of Julia visiti ng him in the formal garden. In the dream, she instructs him to fi nish the estate for their children and future generati ons.

1848: The estate and gardens of Woodlands are eventually completed, with gardens modeled aft er the architectural designs of Andrew Jackson Downing, and a luxurious manor house featuring modern plumbing, marble from Italy and France, and furnishings from around the world.

1861-1865: The Civil War rages. Situated directly in the path of Sherman's advance, the estate witnesses a batt le on May 18, 1864 and suff ers irreparably during occupati on of troops commanded by U.S. Gen. James McPherson.

1906: A tornado damages the home, tearing away the roof.

1906-1942: Descendants of Godfrey and Julia occupy the estate unti l it is aucti oned in 1942. The gardens and manor house fall into disrepair.

1988: Prince Hubertus Fugger of Bavaria purchases the estate, reviving and expanding the Historic Gardens so that more than 200 varieti es of roses thrive. The remains of the Manor House Ruins are restored.

1991: Barnsley Gardens opens to the public as a historical gardens and museum.

Today: Barnsley Resort is a new kind of resort desti nati on, with luxurious cott ages, world-class ameniti es, att enti ve service and serenity.

as one chapter from Answered Prayers, his forthcoming “masterpiece” about society, the story was a thinly veiled expose of the rich and powerful of New York, specifically the “swans” who lunched at La Cote Basque. Narrated by Lady Ina Coolbirth, the story is a gossipy, catty recreation of a typical ladies luncheon, complete with air kisses, Cristal champagne and long, windy gossip.

“Brilliant,” cooed Capote. “I’m doing for America what Proust did for the French.”

“... treacherous and murderous,” said the swans.

The swans of the title were Gloria Vanderbilt, Lee Radziwill, Mona Williams, Gloria Guinness, Marella Agnelli, Pamela Churchhill Hayward Harriman, Slim Hawks Hayward Keith, and Babe Paley whose husband, Bill, was head of CBS and arguably the most powerful man in New York – a man who “moved through life like a shark, fueled by sheer instinct.” The restaurant that served as the setting for the short story was the place to see and be seen by the “privileged, envied set.” After the story’s publication, it became where the women gathered to lick their wounds – “skin flayed open, souls laid bare, ugliness acknowledged, secrets betrayed and lives destroyed.”

Melanie Benjamin recreates those early halcyon days of wine and roses from the time clever, sparkling, entertaining Capote first met his glamorous, wealthy swans until every social door was closed to him and his rantings became a boozy, late night swan song on The Johnny Carson Show. She structures her book around a fictitious luncheon held by the swans after the story’s publication where they reflect on their friendships with Capote and his unexpected betrayal of them. Her book specifically focuses on the relationships he cultivated with Slim and Babe. To Slim, he was her “True Heart” – a pet name that captured the lapdog role he had in her life. To Babe, he was her true love, the one person she could share every ugly secret that hid behind her perfect face, couture clothing and sumptuous home. “Surface, surface, surface – that was her life, and it had been, for as long as she could remember. But here was someone who had bared his soul to her. So naturally, she felt she should show him hers as well. A scar for a scar; an eye for an eye. A story for a story.”

Capote never understood what all the fuss was about when “La Cote Basque 1965” was published. “What did they expect?” he asked one and all. “I’m a writer. I write about what I know.” He told People magazine that he was constructing his masterpiece like a gun: “There’s the handle, the trigger, the barrel, and finally, the bullet. And when that bullet is fired from the gun, it’s going to come out with a speed and power like you’ve never seen – wham!” But what he didn’t anticipate was that, by exposing the secrets of Manhattan society, he was actually turning the gun on himself.

The problem for Capote was that after acquiring fame and fortune with In Cold Blood, he had lost his writing muse and was in need of something to keep the public’s interest, as well as, invitations to 5th Avenue apartments, Mediterranean yacht parties and beachfront homes in the Hamptons. He even threw his own party to reinforce his image – the excessive Black and White Ball of 1966 – an event that if you weren’t invited to, you simply left town.

Benjamin captures these excesses of society and the price that is often paid for living a fairytale life. Capote believed that talent, beauty and money were the secrets to acceptance. “Oh, being rich was simply lovely, when it came right down to it,” he said. “Hold out a glass, and it was filled. Hold out an arm, and it was thrust into a satin-lined fur coat. Hold out a finger, and it was encrusted with jewels.” But in the end, he discovered that none of these things secure real friends.

Babe Paley decreed that Pouilly-Fume de Ladoucette be served at her memorial service after she died of cancer in 1978. Pale golden-green in color, it has aromas of lime zest, pink grapefruit and pear. It pairs nicely with eating poached salmon and wearing family pearls. An impeccable wine, just like Babe. (From $12 to $35 dependent on the year.)

This is the backyard perennial garden of Jim and Barbara Barnes. A full time project worth every minute. Back aches and all. It is a bird and butterfl y sanctuary and a feast for eyes. It's been called eye candy.

The lime hydrangea tree was a gift from wonderful Arrowhead friends sent in honor of Mary Barnes, our sister in law, who passed away recently. It is as beautiful as she and is named "Mary". Another highlight is the iron pot which is approximately 150 years old and belonged to Barbara's great grandmother.

How many pairs of shoes can you jam into a SUV? Well it turns out 176 pairs. That is how many we collected over our Memorial Week Shoe Drive. Our SUV was absolutely jammed with shoes donated by our community.

From Lake Arrowhead the shoes go to the distribution center. There, they get sorted as to size, type, and condition. Then they are distributed directly to the needy. The shoes that they can not use, get torn apart and recycled to make new shoes.

Why? Years ago I had a friend who worked for the CDC and with Doctors Without Borders. One evening Dr. Rob told me about 8 different diseases that could be eradicated simply by putting shoes on feet. Wow! This easy act of giving can make a big difference to people struggling. Your shoes will help to 176 people in need.

A special 'shout out' to Katie and Brighton Collectibles in Marietta who handled the cost and handling of shipping the shoes to the Soles 4 Souls central location in Colorado. Thank you all so much.
