The Finest Shops & Services in Highlands and Cashiers, North Carolina

Thank you for picking up this premiere issue of
The Mountain Laurel.
A new beginning is always a little scary. Aspirations are high, as is apprehension. What if it doesn't work? What if nobody likes us? What if my socks don't match? What if, what if, what if?
What if our little publication takes off and exceeds our hopes and expectations? What if demand is so big that it ends up as thick as a phone book?
Well, of course, we'd love that.
Yes, we want to be everywhere - just like our namesake. We
want to blanket Highlands and Cashiers with
positive, community-supporting coverage and exceptional local
business promotion. We want to keep you in the know on special
events, happenings and anything else that might be fun.
Who are we?
We are nearly thirty collective years of experience in
advertising and journalism.
We are ready to offer a new avenue for promoting the
Highlands-Cashiers area.
We are willing to go that extra mile to make a local
business shine.
We are able to provide fresh ideas, new perspectives and experienced
professionalism. We are simply about Highlands and Cashiers, in
print and on-line.
We are The Mountain Laurel.

The Mountain Laurel
When it comes to free-lance photography, Highlands native Kevin
Vinson is a natural. For over fifteen years, Kevin Vinson Photography
has been providing professional photography service with a personal
touch. Kevin's experience and true talent make him an exceptional
choice for weddings, architectural shoots and family portraits.
Born and raised in Highlands, Kevin grew up admiring the landscapes
of Satulah and Whiteside Mountains and the abundant plant life
that makes this area so special. His love of photography started
at a young age and has stayed strong throughout his career. And
it shows in his work. For example, his still photography of simple
mountain laurel reflects the peace and tranquility that has made
Highlands the haven of rest that thousands have come to love year
after year.
Kevin Vinson Photography has grown quite a bit since his grassroots
beginning in 1987. His quality work and personal approach have
earned him not only an incredible repeat clientele, but also an
ever-increasing customer base due to the word-of-mouth recommendations
of many happy customers. He enjoys the variety of people he meets
from job to job, and he also enjoys the many challenges and different
situations in which he is called to work.
In addition to his photographic abilities, Kevin is certified
in camera repair. He can also help you find the perfect camera
if you decide to dabble in a little photography yourself. You
can find him at High Country Photo on Carolina Way across from
NationsBank in Highlands, or you can call him at 526-5011.
When he's not taking pictures, Kevin and his wife Monica, along
with their two sons, Ryan and Dylan, are proud to call Highlands
home.
After 9-11, many people felt a patriotic urge to join the armed
forces. But in 1942, the choice was not one for many to make of
their own free will. Still, they went without question or protest,
doing whatever they could for love of country, family and fellow
man. It is this humble, willing spirit that is the heart of this
nation, and Griffin Hicks is about as humble and willing as they
get.
Griffin was born and raised in Satolah, Georgia. He had no idea
that just one month after his 21st birthday, he would find himself
drafted with countless other young men to serve his country in
World War II. Leaving life as he knew it behind, Griffin set out
to answer America's call to arms and to liberate the South Pacific
from the clutches of Japan.
His home and family were replaced by training camps and barracks,
and later ships and islands. "Your family now was a family
of nearly 200," Griffin says. "Out of all the people
I knew here (in the Clayton/Highlands area) that went to war,
I never saw a soul I knew over there."
On November 6, 1942, Griffin's military career officially began.
There were several months of training in many different venues,
such as South Carolina, Louisiana, out West and West Virginia.
On March 26, 1944, Mortar NCO (Non-Commissioned Officer) 607 Griffin
Hicks was sent to battle.
He settled in as a Combat Infantryman with his new "family,"
the I Company's 305th Infantry, in the 77th Division's 3rd or
"Weapons" Platoon. "We never really knew how long
we were going to be there (in the war). All we were ever told
was that we were there for the duration," notes Griffin.
And, only he and two other men with him made it "all the
way." That is, they were the only three in his company that
stayed in the company through their entire war journey without
transfer or dying in battle.
Being stationed in the South Pacific meant much traveling to places
like the Philippines, Ruyuku, Okinawa, Ie Shima, Hawaii and Japan.
He was in the first troops to go to Tokyo. The mission was always
"go in, assume control, move on." Included in all that
moving on was a lot of motion sickness for Griffin. He smiles
and says, "I never did get used to it. I just would have
rather stayed on dry land."
Among the hardships and casualties witnessed by Griffin were shrapnel
wounds and a postwar Pearl Harbor. But equally meaningful was
the postwar hospitality of the Japanese. "They were very
courteous and friendly after the war was over," says Griffin.
"But talking with them was difficult, all we had were little
translation books, so we really couldn't say a whole lot."
On December 15, 1945, Griffin was one of the last to be discharged
and return home. "We had a points system," he recalls.
"You got so many points for wives, children, etc. The more
points you had, the quicker you got to go home."
Years later, he has many memories. None of them are any better
or worse than the others. "I don't have any good memories.
There wasn't anything good about being there," Griffin says.
"You lost a lot of friends."
When asked his opinion about today's military, he thinks that
although it is very technologically advanced, it is sorely lacking
in strategy and stealth. "There are no secrets anymore, you
can turn on the news and they'll tell you exactly what we're planning
to do overseas."
He also thinks warscaped movies are nothing more than a hoax.
All the sensational theatrics and romanticism don't bring back
Hollywood-style images for Griffin. "They (war movies), make
it look like all you have to do is grab a gun and charge out front
and shoot people," he says. "That kind of nonsense would
only get you killed. You had to use a lot of common sense."
Looking back, Griffin says that he doesn't talk about his experience
or his medals much because he doesn't want people to think he's
showing off. He doesn't want to be thought of as a hero, even
though he's earned a Purple Heart, a Silver Star, several Bronze
Stars and a host of other medals. He simply says, "I was
just doing my part."
Oh, that we could all do ours.
Thanks, Griffin

In 1996, Bruce Cain opened Cashiers'
first exclusive meat market,
The Chopping Block. With a background in Culinary Arts from Rhode
Island's Johnson & Wales University, the chef from Boston,
Massachusetts decided to try his hand at entrepreneurship. Little
did he know that six years later he would see his little venture
grow into an epicurean food fantasy.
Boasting a bevy of gourmet grocery items and the addition of
delectable lunch selections from the kitchen, The Chopping Block
gladly accommodates most any appetite, with taste delights from
savory to sweet. Bruce and his wife of two-and-a-half years, Lisa,
take great
pride in providing their customers with the freshest, high-quality
steaks, chicken, seafood, veal and lamb available. But for those
who don't feel
like cooking, they highly recommend the Philly Steak & Cheese
or their
world-class 8 oz. Angus burger. And for customers who choose a
meatless meal, they offer several vegetarian dishes
as well.
Proud supporters of Cashiers, the Cains donate to many local fund-raisers
and participate in many community events. The Cains want to continue
their endeavors of community involvement, especially since they
are raising their three boys, Clayton, Bryan and Matthew in the
Cashiers community.
Upon his move to Highlands in 1991, Bruce got a humble start as
a chef in a local restaurant. Bruce's efforts have since proven
to be quite fruitful. One of Bruce's greatest goals is to branch
out and offer the same quality gourmet items to other western
North Carolina locales.
You can find The Chopping Block conveniently located in Cashiers
beloved Market Basket. For faster service, you can call ahead
- (828) 743-5355.
Bruce and Chef Al Kinard look forward to giving you the freshest
tastes Cashiers has to offer.

"Territories" to open at
Summer House
The Summer House Gallery will begin their season with "Territories,"
an exhibit of oil landscapes by Cathryn Miles, beginning June
1 through June 26.
"Though grounded in tradition, my paintings are not portraits
of places, but my response to the natural world," Cathryn
says. " I am especially sensitive to the effects of light,
the power of which suffuses all of my work. The style of my work
is quasi abstract and painterly, and derives its impact from a
strong underlying structure and richly varied tonality."
Cathryn has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Atlanta College
of Art, and a Masters in Fine Art from the University of Houston.
She has taught at Agnes Scott College, the Art Institute of Atlanta,
Georgia Perimeter College and Brenau University.
Cathryn says her "...initial influences include 17th century
Dutch painters, with their use of wide horizon lines and large
expanses of sky, and the dark, moody colors of northern European
art. The layering of colors in thin glazes has always been part
of my painting technique, but after looking at the work of 20th
century American painters such as Mark Rothko and Richard Diebenkorn,
I was encouraged to experiment further. I developed a process
of starting each piece with an undercoat of intense color and
allowing the edges of the numerous top layers to show through.
The compositions which are developed in my studio from outdoor
sketches, are a combination of painterly surfaces, color and slightly
abstracted landscape references. By focusing on everyday scenes,
rather than the picturesque or monumental, and by using a dark
luminous palette, my intent is to evoke a sense of mystery and
a spiritual connection between the earth and the sky."
Come meet Cathryn Miles and enjoy her work at the "Meet the
Artist" reception on Saturday, June 1 from 4-6 p.m. The Summer
House Gallery is located at 2025 on the Dillard Road in Highlands,
NC. Please call 828-526-0028 for more information.
Iron bridge road is a US Forest Service road that provides a semi offroad experience. Many points of interest dot the trek along the way from Ammon's Camp Ground to Ellicott's Rock. The trip will fill the heart with the joys of nature and the imagination with dreams of days gone by.
Directions: Take Horse Cove road from Highlands. At pavement end, take the right fork. Take your time & watch for horse riders!
The awesome power of the Chattooga River rushes under one of
the most interesting structures from the 50's in this area, the
Iron Bridge. It is one of the very few one lane structures remaining.
Most have been widened and replaced with concrete bridges, making
the Iron Bridge a unique and memorable point of interest.
The bridge is not the only memorable aspect. The area around and
under the bridge holds particular interest to nature lovers and
observers alike. The Chattooga river flows past several large
boulders at various places, yielding plenty of private sitting
spots to gather in the sights and feel of being "amongst"
it all. Along the accompanying trails are zones of flowering trees
and shrubs which test the skill of the amateur naturalist, photographer,
and herbalist. Additionally, the "rockhound" can discover
small treasures in the shallows and potholes of riverslabs. Perhaps
after a stimulating trip, you might relax in the beautiful outdoors.
Suggestion: Stop by one of the deli's in town, acquire a bunch
of lunch, brunch or just a box of chicken. Secure proper fluids,
fill the car with gas and, if you have nothing better to do...
go to the Iron Bridge.
Sit among the rocks next to the river, feast and give thanks.
No admission charge!

Lake Sequoyah, Highlands' largest lake, is the first landmark
one sees when approaching the Highlands Plateau from U.S. 64 coming
from Franklin, the county seat. It was constructed as a hydro
electric power lake for the town back in 1925-27 and went online
in 1927. It was built to supply electricity to the fast growing
businesses in Highlands.
However, some areas of the town continued to use their own sources
of electricity. There is a story that before the dam went into
operation, some young boys thought it would be an adventure to
slide down the flume line. After giving the idea some thought,
they went to the power house and found the line had been capped
off. Needless to say, they were quite relieved they hadn't tried
the slide.
The lake became an immediate source of activity both winter and
summer. Lots were sold and homes were built on the highway side
of the lake. At that time, there was not a road to the back side.
In the summer, towns people and summer visitors would come to
swim and boat. This writer experienced his first swimming lesson
at Lake Sequoyah one summer. In the winter, there would be ice
skating day and night. The lake was a source for ice, which would
be cut and hauled to commercial or private ice houses. When the
ice was especially thick it was not unusual for cars to drive
out on the ice during long cold winters. People of all ages would
gather around the edge of the lake to sit by the fires, or skate,
or both. One story has been told by a Charlestonian, who participated
in the lark, that during World War II he and several Clemson students
flew up from South Carolina in the winter in a small plane, landed
on the ice and hitched a ride into town to visit some young ladies.
The Roberts family built the first house (1) , called "Big
Waters," on the back side of the lake. The builder was Joe
Webb, well known in the area for his log cabins. The logs were
floated across the lake and the rest of the materials rafted over.
The log cabin still stands, although a fire destroyed half the
structure. It was restored by Tom Chambers, an antique log cabin
restoration specialist.
Lake Sequoyah is formed by several creeks (Big Creek, Mill Creek
and Munger Creek), several streams and the Cullasaja River. It
stretches back to Highlands Country Club. There was a falls by
the name of Kalakalaski Falls which was covered when the lake
was built. Before the lake, the Kalakalaski Falls was a favorite
picnic destination. It was closer than Bridal Veil Falls and Dry
Falls, which were further down U.S. 64. The name of the lake was
selected by the town commissioners from a number of suggestions.
It was an anglicized version of sikwa'ya, the name of a half breed
Cherokee chief George Guess. (2)
The Cullasaja River flows into the lake from Mirror Lake over
Naiad Falls. Cullasaja is another Cherokee name which is thought
to mean 'sweet water' and was originally named Sugar Fork before
taking the Cherokee name.
Today a first for the lake will be a dinner dance sponsored by
The Highlands Historical Society which will open their summer
event program on a newly constructed dock on the far side of the
lake.
