Astra Coyle’s Better Breathing series will begin on Monday, January 12 rather than January 5. Here’s Astra’s listing:
Better Breathing, Astra Coyle
Mondays: 5:30 pm–6:45 pm Celo Health Center Classroom
828-230-9050, astracoyle@gmail.com
Our breathing affects our cells, thinking, posture, and movement. It also acts like a register, reflecting the state of our nervous system, activity and mood. Thankfully it is a two-way street with breath. When we improve our ability to breathe, we gain vitality, improve our posture, thinking, and mood ;-) Improving our breathing is one of the best things we can do for ourselves. It is a great way to start off the new year, acquiring skills that will ripple throughout the whole year. Register by email in advance. Space is limited to 10 participants. $140 for series. All classes are recorded and shared. Payments via Venmo ASTRA-COYLE or contact me.

Michael and Heather’s Azerbaijan event is on Monday, January 12 rather than Sunday, January 12 (which doesn’t exist). Here’s their listing:
Did Shirali Muslimov really live 168 years?
Michael and Heather
January 12, 6:00 pm CCC upstairs
Fishdeya@gmail.com
We may have the answer. This fall we went to a remote village of Azerbaijan on the Iranian border. This beautiful mountain realm has been home to hundreds of centenarians +, one of whom we had the fortune to meet. We will share with visuals and stories from our two 2025 visits to Azerbaijan, in which we formed deeper bonds of friendship and conservation solidarity.

Recliner and dishwasher - Free to a good home
Free Kenmore Elite dishwasher - ~ 12 years old, runs very well. We still have the manual. Standard outlet. Would recommend cleaning out the filter (which is harder than it should be).
Well loved, small leather recliner that has been in our extended family for many years. Ideally for cuddling pets, napping while your new to you gently used dishwasher runs (see above), or for stacking book bags and other things in a corner of your kitchen. The frame is sturdy and none of the leather is torn.
Pick up is in Spruce Pine.

Handcrafted Furniture Identification Help
We are trying to who the furniture maker may was. We have been unable to identify any maker’s marks. It is a very well made hardwood dining room set that was handcrafted and hand carved over 60 years ago for our home for the previous owners (the Lawsons). The set has a table, 6 chairs, two side boards, and a cabinet.
If you recognize the pieces or have any ideas where we could find more information on the craftsperson or the company that made the set please email me.
