Polk County, NC Fall 2017 The Heart of Hospice 2 Making Decisions for the Future 3 Camp is the Largest Ever 4 Volunteering 5 Mother and Daughter® 6 Donating to Hospice 8 Donations 15 Grief Support 16 Thrift Stores 2: The Heart of Hospice Fall 2017 Making Decisions for the Future It’s hard to believe, but more than a year ago, Hospice of Rutherford County, Inc. merged with Hospice of the Carolina Foothills to become Hospice of Rutherford County Doing Business as Hospice of the Carolina Foothills. The merged organization continues to operate both inpatient facilities, an active palliative care program, as well as a community grief program in Rutherford, Polk, McDowell and Landrum South Carolina. This August, the Board of Directors made the decision to go forward in our service area as Hospice of the Carolina Foothills and drop the DBA reference. We now have a new logo on the front of the newsletter that brings both organizations together to serve patients in North and South Carolina. The merged organization cares for hospice and palliative care patients in Rutherford, Polk, McDowell, Henderson, Greenville, Spartanburg and Cherokee counties. Every Spring, the Board of Directors who serve three year terms, bring members on as others rotate off. Members can renew for a three year term and then leave Rita Burch, CEO the board for at least a year before they can be nominated again. Current board members nominate others from the community. This year’s board brought four new members representing South Carolina, Polk County and McDowell County. Lee Morgan is a retired Spartanburg County Librarian who lives in Campobello. Bill Miller is the retired Polk County School Superintendent who lives in Mill Spring. Ann Hodge is very active in the Landrum community where she lives. Norman Guthrie who lives in Marion also is a member of the McDowell Hospital board. The remaining members are fulfilling their terms.

The Heart of Hospice Fall 2017: 3 Seventh Camp Erin Largest Ever Hospice of the Carolina Foothills conducted Camp Erin™ November 10 through 12 at South Mountain Chrisitian Camp in Bostic. This camping experience was for children and teens who experienced the death of someone close to them. There were 58 campers ranging in age from 6 to 15 years old from Rutherford, Polk, Mc- Dowell, Henderson, Rowan and Mecklenberg in North Carolina and Greenville and Charleston in South Caroli- na. Campers attended the weekend event at no cost. The camp was made possible as the result of funding from The Moyer Foundation, local churches, civic organiza- tions and businesses. Although 17 of the children and teens who participated had family members served by hospices, the remaining campers expereinced the death of someone in their lives as the result of suicide, acciden- tal death, overdose, murder and other circumstances. Camp Erin™ combined fun and a traditional camp with grief education and emotional support. Campers enjoyed the ropes course and climbing wall, s’mores, and campfires. Most importantly, the children and teens participated in multiple activities designed to share and discuss their loved ones and grief. Campers made various crafts to talk about what they felt on the inside and what was revealed on the outside, drew pictures of what their loved ones enjoyed doing, made keepsakes to remember the person they lost, and even wrote their feelings on pumpkins and smashed the pumpkins to synmbolize getting rid of those difficult feelings. They shared pictures of loved ones through a memorial board. They made floating luminaries and launched them in the camp pond. They glued pieces of teracotta pottery together to sympbloize putting the pieces of life back together after a loss. They also participated in music therapy conducted by students from the Appalachian State University School of Music. Special programming this year included a musician and Sunshine MonkeyShines Monkey Rescue. At the end of camp, participants released balloons to remember their loved ones. Hospice of the Carolina Foothills staff and trained volunteers conducted Camp Erin™, formerly called Camp Rainbows. Hospice started Camp Rainbows in 1995, and began offering the expanded Camp Erin™ in 2012 as the result of the Moyer Foundation grant enabling Hospice to serve children of all ages in the Carolinas. Please contact Hospice at (828) 245-0095 to find out about how to register your child for next year’s camp. Camp Erin™ is also part of a program conducted by Hos- pice called Kids Path©. This program provides individual grief counseling for children when necessary, as well as grief support groups within schools when requested. Kids Path© also provides pediatric hospice and palliative care for chil- dren throughout the North Carolina and South Carolina ser- vice area. Hospice of the Carolina Foothills relies on donations from the communities it serves to continue to provide all of the aforementioned programs and services. Staff would love to speak to your group, club or church group about how you can make a difference in the lives of these young people. Please call (828) 245-0095 to schedule a speaker or to learn more about donating to these programs. These campers participate in one of many activities to help them discuss and deal with their grief. 4: The Heart of Hospice Fall 2017 Whatever Your Time and Talent, Volunteers are Always Needed These PREP students from Landrum High returned to J.C.

Visit us at www.holladaysurgical.com The Heart of Hospice Fall 2017: 5 Mother and Daughter Happy to Be in Side-by-Side Suites Merle Rich and her daughter Deborah Ballew were prac- tically inseperable until Deborah had a severe health crisis and had to be admitted to the SECU Hospice Inpatient Unit in Forest City. Even after that, 85-year-old Merle would visit her daughter at the facility every day. This past September Merle’s health rapidly declined, and she too began receiv- ing care from the Hospice of the Carolina Foothils team. It wasn’t long after becoming a hospice patient that it became evident that without the help of Deborah, Merle needed more care than could be provided in their Spindale apart- ment. A residential suite became available at the Hospice unit, so mother and daughter now are literally steps from each other again. The Hospice SECU Inpatient Unit has two levels of care as dictated by the state of North Carolina. Ten of the suites are designated for general inpatient care for hospice patients dealing with pain and symptom or other types of crises. The remaining eight suites are residential level for those hospice patients who are not in a crisis but don’t necessarily qual- ify for skilled nursing placement or don’t have caregivers. “I know my mother was fortunate to be able to come here because I know it’s rare that a residential bed is available,” Deborah said. “Despite the circumstances, I couldn’t be happier,” Merle reiterated. “I have my family here, but the people who work at Hospice are like family, too.

  • Faith Voices Letter
    In Support Of Keeping Houses Of Worship Nonpartisan August 16, 2017 Dear Senator: As a leader in my religious community, I am strongly opposed to any effort to repeal or weaken current law that protects houses of worship from becoming centers of partisan politics. Changing the law would threaten the integrity and independence of houses of worship. We must not allow our sacred spaces to be transformed into spaces used to endorse or oppose political candidates. Faith leaders are called to speak truth to power, and we cannot do so if we are merely cogs in partisan political machines. The prophetic role of faith communities necessitates that we retain our independent voice. Current law respects this independence and strikes the right balance: houses of worship that enjoy favored tax-exempt status may engage in advocacy to address moral and political issues, but they cannot tell people who to vote for or against. Nothing in current law, however, prohibits me from endorsing or opposing political candidates in my own personal capacity. Changing the law to repeal or weaken the “Johnson Amendment” – the section of the tax code that prevents tax-exempt nonprofit organizations from endorsing or opposing candidates – would harm houses of worship, which are not identified or divided by partisan lines. Particularly in today’s political climate, engaging in partisan politics and issuing endorsements would be highly divisive and have a detrimental impact on congregational unity and civil discourse. I therefore urge you to oppose any repeal or weakening of the Johnson Amendment, thereby protecting the independence and integrity of houses of worship and other religious organizations in the charitable sector.

  • Media Industry Approaches to Comic-To-Live-Action Adaptations and Race
    From Serials to Blockbusters: Media Industry Approaches to Comic-to-Live-Action Adaptations and Race by Kathryn M. Frank A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Lisa A. Nakamura Associate Professor Aswin Punathambekar © Kathryn M. Frank 2015 “I don't remember when exactly I read my first comic book, but I do remember exactly how liberated and subversive I felt as a result.” ― Edward W. Said, Palestine For Mom and Dad, who taught me to be my own hero ii Acknowledgements There are so many people without whom this project would never have been possible. First and foremost, my parents, Paul and MaryAnn Frank, who never blinked when I told them I wanted to move half way across the country to read comic books for a living. Their unending support has taken many forms, from late-night pep talks and airport pick-ups to rides to Comic-Con at 3 am and listening to a comics nerd blather on for hours about why Man of Steel was so terrible. I could never hope to repay the patience, love, and trust they have given me throughout the years, but hopefully fewer midnight conversations about my dissertation will be a good start. Amanda Lotz has shown unwavering interest and support for me and for my work since before we were formally advisor and advisee, and her insight, feedback, and attention to detail kept me invested in my own work, even in times when my resolve to continue writing was flagging.

  • One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” Exhibit
    John Read is the creator and curator of the “One Fine Sunday in the Funny Pages” exhibit. A freelance cartoonist, John also teaches cartooning to children and is the publisher and editor of Stay Tooned! Magazine, considered the trade journal of the craft. The Comic Mode The comic strip provides a colorful and humorous respite from the serious and often tragic news that precedes it. There are many reasons for reading the “funny pages”; from the basic need to be entertained, to the desire to escape for a moment into what seems a playful combination of a joke and a sequence of images that illustrate the nonsense and play that generates it. Yet, what really constitutes the “comic” in a comic strip? Are they simply funny, as in Blondie, Garfield or Hagar the Horrible? Or do we sense underlying tones of irony, satire, political and social commentary as evidenced in Doonesbury, Non Sequitur, and Between Friends? How are we to understand the double entendre, the sting of wit or the twist of the absurd that infuses so many contemporary comic strips? It would seem that as in dreams, there are many levels to the comic mode. On the first take, the superficial or manifest appeal generates a smile or laughter. But as with many dreams and good jokes, there is the second take, a latent need to establish or defy meaning as embedded within the structure of the images themselves. The paradox or playfulness of the comic strip partially lies in discovering the truth in the nonsensical aspects of day-to-day living.
