A small slice of European flavor CLEVELAND, S.C. — Tucked into a small elbow of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Table Rock dominating the view, Victoria Valley Vineyards is a small slice of Euro- pean fl avor transplanted to the foothills of the Carolinas, dominated by a verdant valley, almost out of sight and out of mind. That was the vision Vicki and Les Jayne had when they bought the 47-acre tract of land in 1999. The fi rst vinis vinifera was planted in 2000 and the fi rst vintage was released in 2004, before the French Chateau that greets visitors was designed by Les, with all the intricate and delicate woodwork crafted by his own hands, the same as the wines Victoria Valley produces, crafted hands-on by Vicki and Les.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, work on the much ballyhooed Mayberry Man movie has continued, working around delays, postponements, and schedule changes. Now, the movie is just a few months away from release to its supporters, and hopefully, a public debut not too long afterward.

Page 4 Guest stars galore Being a guest star on “The Andy Griffith Show” could be a launching pad for young actors, and even already established stars sometimes wanted the chance to work with the cast and crew there. But it was Jean Hagen, driving a fast car and doing some smooth talking, who was the first established star to grace the set.

    The Gospel in Mayberry – A Little Child Shall Lead Page 1 of 6 Rev. Jan Brittain, July 11, 2021 Williamson’s Chapel United Methodist Church The Gospel in Mayberry – A Little Child Shall Lead Luke 18:15-17 INTRODUCTION TO THE SERIES It really is one of North Carolina’s claims to fame. The homeplace of Andy Griffith and the hometown that was the model for Mayberry, America’s best known and most beloved small town. Of course, modeled on Mt. Airy or not, Mayberry is not actually a real town, only a television town. It can’t be real, for as Andy himself points out, there is no place on earth where all problems are solved in just 30 minutes. Still, some of us – lots and lots of us, in fact – still like to go to Mayberry if only for a 30-minute refuge from the pace of life today. There are a host of memorable characters on the show beyond what we would consider the main characters. Like Floyd Lawson, the lovable if frustrating barber with a shop next to the sheriff’s office. And when Floyd leaves the show, Emmett Clark moves into his shop. ______________________________________________________________________________ Unpublished work ©2021 Julianne Brittain The Gospel in Mayberry – A Little Child Shall Lead Page 2 of 6 Rev.

Band Members Rodney Dillard – guitar Beverly Cotten-Dillard – banjo George Giddens – fiddle, mandolin Shane Lail – bass Rodney Dillard has had a long and varied career resulting so far in 2 Grammy™ Nominations, induction into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, a well known acting stint on the Andy Griffith Show, many other movie, commercials and TV appearances, recipient of The Outstanding Missourian Award, and worldwide acclaim for his over 50 yrs. of recording both traditional Bluegrass and his own brand of ‘DILLARDGRASS’. Rodney Dillard as founding member of the legendary group, ‘THE DILLARDS’ (aka the Darlings) is seen nearly everyday somewhere in the world thanks to the still enormous popularity of The ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW reruns. Rodney continued to modernize and innovate the sound of Bluegrass as he wrote and collaborated to write such now classic songs as “There Is a Time”, “The Darlin Boys”, “Ebo Walker”, and “Dooley”. By the late 1960′s Rodney had transformed the Dillards into the driving force creating new sounds in the West Coast music environment. Later, called “The Father of Country Rock”, Rodney was among the first Bluegrass musicians to “electrify” traditional Bluegrass instruments while also adding drums, steel guitar, and orchestra. The band’s unique flare for song writing and arrangement affected a broad range of important future musicians in the Bluegrass and Pop music world alike.

  • SVMIC Sentinel - November 2020 1 the Real-World Life Is Not Always Idyllic and Many of Us Have Had to Deal with Bullies at Times
    Closed Claim Review: Opie and the Bully By John T. Ryman, JD “I don’t want him to be the kind of boy lookin’ for fights, but I don’t want him to run from one when he’s in the right” – Sheriff Andy Taylor, The Andy Griffith Show, Opie and the Bully (1961) Once upon a time in the fictional hamlet of Mayberry, young Opie Taylor had a problem. A local bully was confronting Opie on his journey to school each morning and demanding that he relinquish his milk money, or he would “get it”. After some time, considerable anguish, and wise counsel from his father, Sheriff Taylor, Opie grew weary of this harassment and made a stand. It was a difficult, mentally and physically painful episode that earned Opie a black eye. He also retained his milk money and his honor. The bully was no longer a threat to him. If you grew up watching The Andy Griffith Show, you saw multiple incidents of our friends in Mayberry having to confront bullies. Sheriff Andy Taylor and his deputy, Barney Fife, had to confront and overcome challenges by bullies. Here in SVMIC Sentinel - November 2020 1 the real-world life is not always idyllic and many of us have had to deal with bullies at times. In this article, I am deliberately brief on the medical facts of the case. The conceptual lessons deserve the emphasis. The lessons are not unique to the facts of this case. The lawsuit originated as the result of a very common surgery. There were complications, which were promptly addressed and within the range of known complications for the procedure.

  • Some Help with Home School - Watch Classic Television
    Some Help with Home School - Watch Classic Television Disclaimer: I am a former k-12 teacher. I have never been involved in the homeschool movement which some people choose in place of sending their children to traditional schools. The term “Home School” as used here refers to the work that you will do with your children over the next few weeks during the quarantine. Again, these ideas are not vetted by the homeschool movement. However, I was a public school th th teacher for 13 years, teaching 7 and 11 grades. I am National Board-certified in English/Language Arts for Adolescents and Young Adults. I hold an earned Ph.D. in Education. The following advice is offered in a spirit of collaboration with directions from your children’s teachers. -Jeanine A. Irons, Ph.D. Guiding Thought: Use one resource in multiple ways to facilitate learning. It is possible to use relatively ordinary experiences to supplement your children’s education in multiple ways. Classic television shows can lead to rich learning experiences. “The Andy Griffith Show” is one example. This particular show can be viewed on cable tv, Tubi, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, fuboTV, and Philo. The following information gives some ideas on how to use “The Andy Griffith Show” to facilitate geography, character analysis, handwriting, and/or diversity learning experiences for children of various ages. You can view multiple episodes, in any order*, and use different ideas each time. You can pick and choose from the ideas provided and/or use your own ideas, based on factors you deem significant, such as your children’s ages.

  • ANDY GRIFFITH, Pl
    IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN ____________________________________ ANDY GRIFFITH, Plaintiff, MEMORANDUM AND ORDER v. 06-C-635-S WILLIAM FENRICK n/k/a ANDREW JACKSON GRIFFITH, Defendant. ____________________________________ Plaintiff Andy Griffith commenced this action against defendant William Fenrick n/k/a Andrew Jackson Griffith alleging invasion of privacy in violation of Wis. Stat. § 995.50(2)(b), violation of United States Trademark Laws, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1)(A), and Wisconsin common law trade name infringement. Jurisdiction is based on 28 U.S.C. § 1331. The matter is presently before the Court on cross-motions for summary judgment. The following facts relevant to the parties’ motions are undisputed. BACKGROUND Plaintiff is a famous television and motion picture actor. In the 1960's plaintiff starred in the popular television series “The Andy Griffith Show” in which he portrayed folksy, small town sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry who shared simple heartfelt wisdom. “The Andy Griffith Show” (which is still shown in syndication) was one of the more popular television series in history, generating several successful spin-offs including “Mayberry R.F.D.” and “Gomer Pile U.S.M.C.” Plaintiff subsequently had other prominent acting roles. As an actor he has promoted himself solely by his name “Andy Griffith.” Plaintiff has participated in advertisements in the North Carolina Governor’s race and in twelve different North Carolina State Senate races. He is very selective on how his image and endorsements are portrayed by campaigns. Plaintiff serves as a principal of Mayberry Enterprises. Plaintiff uses Mayberry Enterprises for the merchandising and licensing of his personal intellectual property rights including names, likeness, voices, characters, catch words, slogans, distinctive phrases, trademarks and trade names.

His dissertation, "The Significance of the Hillbilly in American Culture, 1900 to the Present," focuses on mass media portrayals of Southern mountain culture throughout the 20th century.

He is a Lecturer in the Writing Program at Princeton University. In the mid-postwar years of the late 1950s and early 1960s, imagery and press accounts associated with the Southern mountains and their people appeared to a degree unequaled since the 1930s. These images were most prominently featured on television-the dominant medium of its age-in news reports, documentaries, and most commonly, in a steady stream of highly successful and influential situation comedies-TAe Real McCoys, The Andy Griffith Show, and The Beverly Hillbillies.
