CEDAR MOUNTAIN NEWS FOR THURSDAY MAY 26, 2016
CMFRD BBQ
Preparation for the BBQ last Saturday started Friday evening and lasted until 10:30 am on Saturday morning. BBQ was served from 10:45am to 2:30pm. We started early and ran late. Members of the auxiliary and fire department spent the night roasting pork butts on the big cooker, making cookies and other preparations. The fun started about 9:30am when we all began pulling the meat from the bones. This is a tricky task since the pork butts are smoking hot coming off the cooker. We wore cotton gloves under the rubber ones. After cleaning off the bones, Chaplin Don Greene used a bucket and a “paint’ mixer to further shred the meat for easier serving.
CMFRD AUXILIARY
The next meeting the Cedar Mountain Fire Rescue Department Auxiliary will be Monday June 6th at 7pm at t
he fire station. The scheduled meeting for the 7th was changed due to the election. Anyone interested in the auxiliary is urged to attend. New members are always welcome.

CHRISTINE'S CORNER
The summer folk are coming back; many are from families that have lived here for several generations. One such family who is here now, and soon will live here permanently, is Nancy Cadora, the daughter of Dixie Jones Lane. You may remember Dixie as one of the three Jones' sisters which included our own Vera Jones Stinson and Annie Jones Wickliffe. They were the daughters of Solomon and Janie Jones. All three of these sisters lived many years: 98 to 102 when they passed. The oldest, Vera, was a story-teller and has been recorded on film and as the author of her book “Stumbling Blocks Were Stepping Stones in Appalachia ". But back to Nancy ... Nancy and her husband Allen Cadora bought Rev. Alton Taylor's home here off Solomon Jones Road a few years’ ago, and are in the process of selling their home in Atlanta to be able to reside here "In God's country" permanently. They recently adopted a wonderful dog from local "Friends for Life Forever" and sends cute stories of how he is fitting in with his new family. Nancy and Allen have two sons, Scott and Matthew, and Scott has a 4-year-old daughter Charlotte, who told her teacher that her grandparents were going to "See the mountain". The teacher asked Scott what mountain his folks were going to see and he laughingly replied "She meant they were going to Cedar Mountain". Cute. Little Charlotte will be making memories here too as she visits her grandparents. Then Nancy wrote about her growing up year's here; "Cedar Mountain always meant nature, security, safety, family and love. And it didn't hurt that God lived at Pretty Place, or at least that's what I thought." Sudie Mulligan, wife of Camp Greenville's Munk Mulligan, led Nancy to believe this as well. "They were marvelous people who touched so many lives." Welcome back "home" Nancy Lane Cadora (you too Allen). We all look forward to your stories.

AROUND THE HOUSE ~ Linda Young
When I heard about the antique appraisal at St Timothy’s on June 11th it brought to mind the time Sotheby’s came to my old home town years ago. I love old stuff and had a piece of pottery that I thought might be worth something. So I painstakingly wrapped it up and carefully transported it. When my turn came I proudly sat my treasure down in front of the appraiser. He laughed. It was old but barely worth what I paid for it. He said thousands were made. So much for getting rich. I keep hoping.
What’s happening with you or in the community? We’d love to hear about it if you would like to share. All news for next week has to be received by Monday evening in order to be published in the Thursday edition of the Transylvania Times
