Foothills Medical Associates Welcomes Family Physician Lisa Broyles, MD
As it continues to expand services and access to care for the Saluda community, St. Luke's Hospital is pleased to announce Lisa J. Broyles, MD, has joined the medical staff as a member of the St. Luke's Physician Network (SLPN), and is now seeing patients in Columbus until construction is completed to the new Saluda Family Medicine. Dr. Broyles joins Jeff Viar. DO, Vinit Agrawal, MD, and Physician Assistants Janet Howell and Mike Bradey.
As a primary care provider, Dr. Broyles is now seeing patients on Wednesday and Friday mornings at the Foothills facility, located at 108 W. Mills St., Columbus, until the renovations are completed to the planned Saluda Family Medicine, projected for completion by Spring 2018.
It will be the first time since 2014 when the Saluda clinic closed that the unique town of tourists and artists have had local access to a primary care provider.
"We are happy and excited to have Dr. Broyles as part of the Foothills Medical team," said Dr. Jeffrey Viar, Foothills' medical director. "She will be getting to know patients here on a part-time basis, ultimately transitioning next year to the Saluda community as we expand services in Polk County."
The appointment of Dr. Broyles is a key component of St. Luke's Hospital's Strategic Plan, which includes improving and expanding access to care to ensure Polk County and neighboring residents are afforded exceptional, patient-focused healthcare, close to home.
Dr. Broyles, who is fluent in Spanish, graduated from the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University and completed her three-year residency in family practice at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. For the past several years, she has served patients at urgent care centers in South Carolina and Tennessee. Prior to this, she was medical director for the East Tennessee Spine and Nerve Center in Chattanooga and the Johnson City Tennessee Downtown Clinic.
Along with a professional interest in holistic/integrative medicine, she is a certified functional medical practitioner.
"Dr. Broyles' commitment to her community is a great compliment to her skills as a physician," Dr. Viar pointed out. "Her work as a volunteer with the Thermal Belt Outreach Feed A Kid program, as a board member for Junior League in Tennessee, and as a leader of several medical missions to Guatemala speaks to her passion for community service."
The mother of two, Dr. Broyles enjoys trail running, yoga, homesteading, and song writing in her spare time.
"Foothills Medical Associates is gearing up to better serve our clients and community," Dr. Viar said. "The addition of Dr. Broyles builds on our commitment to provide high quality, personalized, comprehensive healthcare to our community." He emphasized that the addition of Dr. Broyles will enhance treatment outreach and services for the Saluda community in both a convenient and welcoming environment.
For more information on Foothills Medical Associates or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Broyles, please call 828-894-5627.
Note: While Saluda Family Medicine is under construction, Dr. Broyles is seeing patients
Wednesdays and Fridays from 8 a.m.-noon at Foothills Medical Associates, 801 W. Mills St., Columbus! Call 828-894-5627 for an appointment.

Winter Peace & Quiet
|
Caw, caw, caw shriek the blackbirds, echoing through the forest left barren by fallen leaves. Ricocheting through the trees is the drumming of a woodpecker hammering on a dead tree. The rustling of leaves reveals playful squirrels hunting and gathering nuts for winter storage. In the distance, the muted hum of a heating system joins in nature's winter symphony. These are the sounds you can hear in the dead silence of winter in the mountains.
Saluda is deep into winter, and stillness replaces the hustle and bustle of the holiday season--a quiet time to enjoy the silence after an active time of the year. Without distractions of hectic times, Saludians have a chance to rest, reflect, and make new resolutions for the new year.
The outdoors is beautiful this time of the year. Trails are cleared and you can see through the woods, and mountain vistas usually hidden by tree canopies are visible. Creeks sparkle like diamonds from cold frosty nights. Scented evergreens refresh the air and lush green rhododendrons and mountain laurel blanket the ground. Taking a deep breath of this fresh mountain air revives the heart and soul.
Locals take back downtown in the winter. With fewer visitors, it's time to take advantage of winter sales and get your favorite table at Saluda's restaurants to enjoy hearty and comforting recipes that warm you up. Most of the faces are familiar and friendly and camaraderie among the locals is renewed.
When making your resolutions for the New Year, be sure to include more hiking and outdoor adventures to kick-start your health for the new year and make time to do a little bench sitting on Main Street to regain your inner peace.

What's Happening at the Purple On
ion
Winter Hours
The Purple Onion is now on Winter Hours closed Sunday and Wednesday. Additionally, our kitchen will close at 8 PM on Monday and Tuesday nights. We will reopen for Sunday brunch and Wednesdays the first week of May.
Closed Jan 1 - 4
We are taking a couple of days off to address some deep cleaning, inventory and facility needs before we begin our 20th year in business.
 The Stray Birds
January 14 At 7 Pm
It's been six years, but we are so pleased to welcome The Stray Birds back to The Purple Onion stage on January 14 as part of our Sunday Concert Series.
Admission is $15 per person in advance, $18 at the door and seating will be limited. The performance begins at 7 PM, but the doors open at 5 PM so guests have an opportunity to enjoy pizza, salads or some of our small plates, available until 6:45 Beverages and desserts are available during the show. Reservations can be made
online
or by calling the restaurant at 828-749- 1179.
All originally from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, The Stray Birds started as a duo of acoustic buskers in early 2010 when Maya de Vitry and Oliver Craven met with their instruments, their voices, and their songs. It didn't take much convincing to get bassist Charlie Muench on board, and with the addition of a third unique and powerful voice, the group began to define its captivating sound. Seven years, three original records, and some six hundred performances later, the band is best known today for its songwriting, its tight and forthcoming vocal harmony blend and its commitment to an impassioned delivery of original material, both on stage and in the studio. They've been seen from LA to London, sung songs from Dallas to Denmark, and played tunes from New York to New Orleans. Their 2016 Yep Roc Records release Magic Fire was produced by Grammy-winner Larry Campbell and earned much praise, including being named by NPR as one of Folk Alley's Top Ten Records of 2016. With time, their sound has evolved to a palate broader than what it first was on the street corners and in the markets, but this much remains true: The Stray Birds is a band of musicians as subtle and nuanced as they are energetic, a band of writers as blatant and bold as they are coy, and perhaps most importantly, a band of people as friendly and compassionate as they are talented. It's safe to imagine that most who hear their music come back for another listen, time and again.
Celebrating 20 Years
of Live Music
Next year marks our 20th year as a restaurant and music venue and the music calendar for 2018 is coming together nicely. In addition to our outstanding lineup of musicians on Thursdays and Saturdays, we will offer monthly Sunday night concerts.
The very definition of a special event, Sunday Evening Concerts at The Purple Onion are all about live music and the people who support it.
These Sunday concerts don't follow any set schedule-except being on a Sunday, of course. They happen when we find a great band passing through or a regional favorite back in the area or an up-and-coming band we think our audience needs to hear. We move the tables to the patio, set up the chairs for listening, (leaving some room for dancing when the music inspires it), and fill The Purple Onion with music. Fans get the opportunity to hear great musicians in an intimate setting-125-seat capacity. Musicians get to play to folks who truly appreciate what they do.
To celebrate 20 years of live music we are offering a limited number of VIP season passes for the Sunday Evening music series. The performers for the first eight months are listed below.
Spring/Summer Season Pass $135

Jim Carson, AIS 
Workshop: Painting the Interior
January 18-20, 2018 Thursday-Saturday - Medium: Oil and/or Acrylic
Painting interiors has always been a fundamental part of Impressionist painting, and particularly contemporary Impressionist painting. Capturing the light, whether natural light through a window or door, or artificial light from a lamp or other inside lighting
The walls, furniture, floors, and flowers are simply a vehicle for the light to "show off". Painting these scenes can be both fun, and result in very cozy paintings. As always, in this workshop, we will learn to simplify the shapes and design of an interior scene, in order to paint it in a fresh and spontaneous manner.
The workshop will be held in Jim's studio, above the Saluda Grade Café , 40 E. Main St., in Saluda,N.C.
There will be lots of one on one easel time, a demonstration by Jim on Thursday, and a general critique of the day's work at the end of each day. The workshop is open to all levels, from beginners to advanced. A list of brushes, etc. will be furnished after registration.
Jim is a member of Plein Air Painters of the Southeast (PAPSE), an associate member of Oil Painters of America, and a Signature Member of The American Impressionist Society.
Jim has also announced the remaining part of his 2018 workshop schedule:
March 8-10 "Painting the Town/Mastering the Cityscape"- May 10-12 "Painting Loose with Intention"- June 21-23 "Painting with Expression" - Sept. 20-22 "Painting the Town/Mastering the Cityscape" - Oct. 25-27 "Plein Air/ Painting Fall from Life

No Wonder I'm Fat!
By author, Joe Adams
|
|
 I truly appreciate all the kind gifts I receive at Christmas. It's wonderful to be remembered, and we really got to know the UPS man as he brought one box after another to the house. But it seems like everything I got was edible. Deliciously, so.
From a friend in Baltimore I received a tin of cookies from a famous old bakery up there...they tasted more like candy ... chocolate covered morsels that melt into your mouth and send ten pounds to your belly. And from a woman who used to work for me, I got three different kinds of cookies from another Baltimore bakery. (Baking is big in Baltimore; all those German immigrants brought their best recipes when they came.)
One of my granddaughters got me some fancy blackberry jam and a jar of Carmel sauce. I love blackberries...and fight with the birds to get the ones that grow by the road near my house. Last season I decided to share with the birds. Actually they get up earlier than I do and you know the saying, "The early bird gets the blackberries."
I got a coconut pound cake from an old friend in Maryland whom I have known since 8th grade. Her husband died two years ago so last Christmas she didn't feel in the mood to cook and send
gifts. But thank goodness she's back in the kitchen rattling those pots and pans.
I also got three pound cakes from one of my grandsons...one is chocolate, another is key lime, and the other one is cappuccino. They each feel like they weigh ten pounds. These are real pound cakes.
We also had a Yule Log cake for Christmas Eve...a cake made in a jelly roll pan...filled with thick whipped cream...covered in thick chocolate and made to resemble a log. It even had little mushrooms (made from meringue) on it. Beautiful and tasty.
A friend of mine who is a blacksmith gave me a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter and jelly..."to remember all those times when we were on the road together and ate nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches." I say it's the thought that counts because we also ate a lot of bar-b-que.
I got a box of Bissinger's chocolates...they are apricots covered part way with chocolate. They are almost too beautiful to eat. But I'll try.
My friend Charlie who has been my friend for sixty years always sends me a fruitcake which he makes using his mother's recipe. Even though he has a big family, one by one they have told him to hold off on the fruitcakes. Of course it broke his heart because he was hoping they would ask for the recipe before he dies. I'm the only person that thanks him and eats the cake. This year he was back in business in a big way because he had remarried after sixteen years of living alone. His new wife has a big family so he was able to make fruitcakes for a whole new group.
I got some venison from one of my granddaughters...it's not fattening unless you make country fried steaks out of it, which I do. My sweet granddaughter shot this one. She's quite a hunter and a good shot.
My children used to give me a box of chocolate covered cherries every year at Christmas. The oldest one will soon be fifty and I was thinking that they had grown out of the chocolate covered cherry habit. But, alas, there was a box of them. From my wife.
I feel blessed with all these goodies and hopeful I'll get some visitors who will help me eat some of this stuff. Otherwise I'll have to spend a bunch of money on new and bigger clothes.
