The Watauga County Sheriffs Office received a call for emergency medical personnel shortly after 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night after Damien Barker, a resident of 5500 Castle Ford Road in Todd, was reportedly shot in the chest. Todd First Responders, Watauga County medics, and WCSO deputies rushed to the scene and began to adminis- ter medical treatment. Emergency personnel found Barker lying on the front porch of the Castle Ford residence with a gunshot wound to the chest or abdominal area. Barker was transported by AirCare to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem. At press time Wednesday morning, Barker’s condition had not been re- leased. WCSO investigators, in contact with the Watauga Coun- ty District Attorney’s office throughout the night, have identified a minor, known by Barker, as the individual who allegedly shot Barker. The shooting is under further inves- tigation. Farmers market opening Saturday for season Spring in Ashe County brings nourishing rains, green- ing fields, a new generation of animals on the farm and the start of a new season at the Ashe County Farmers’ Market, which opens at 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. on Saturday, April 14. An opening ceremony will take place at 7:45 a.m. at the flagpole. Last year was a very successful one for the market and the 2012 season is off to a great start with a high number of vendors turning out for the March Expo registration event, another large group at Tuesday’s board meeting. The market offers fresh seasonal produce, a wide variety of nursery items, flowers and plants, locally raised meats, artisan cheeses, homemade breads and pastries, honey, mo- lasses, jams, jellies, as well as fine, locally made arts and crafts. Throughout the year, visitors will find local musi- cians playing at the market as well as area chefs cooking up tasty tidbits of locally grown and raised food. There will be several special events planned for the sea- son such as Fishing Expo, Quilt Day, Fiber Day, and Grilling Demonstrations from local chefs, Apple/Cobbler and Berry Pie Contest, Cake Contest, Tomato/Salsa Day Celebration, Annual BBQ Fundraiser and Halloween Event.

  • Travels-With-The-Fis
    TRAVELS with the FISH C Y Gopinath Introducing the Fish Nothing is so little fun as seeing the world all by yourself. Quixote had his Sancho, Graham Greene had his aunt, and Phineas Fogg had his Passepartout. So it is a matter of some regret for me to admit, in this very first paragraph, that I have seldom had the pleasure of an interesting travelling companion in my numerous expeditions inside and out of India. I have missed the presence of someone thoughtful and acerbic, someone who could match insight for insight, who was attentive to the foibles and madnesses of foreign folk in their very foreign lands, someone with whom one could together relish morsels of alien culture. It is my pitiful good fortune that the person who comes closest to being a travelling companion of sorts is the gentleman whom I have come to think of as the Fish. We met first on a flight to the Middle East. He was in the seat adjoining mine, offending everyone with his particular acrid brand of cigarette. He was south Indian, like me, but differed in a key respect — he cordially hated travelling. He had always found it much more pleasurable to undertake imaginary journeys in which he could dictate and design everything from the departure schedule to the destination. XII TRAVELS WITH THE FISH We got talking when I began to get interested in the Arabic in-flight announcements. Believe me, this is a thrill, especially for fellows like me who have never heard any sort of Arabic before.

Malaska’s knowledge of the golf swing, as well as his expertise at incorporating physical fitness programs into his golf instruction, has made him one of the most sought after instructors in the game today.
