DR. ROBERT MCDANIEL

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a local couple happened upon a skinny little Appaloosa mare in a dirt lot. Her owner no longer wanted to trail ride her; she wasn’t needed any more.

Luckily this couple knew a few things about horses and decided to take her home with them and find the little mare a new family. Some extra food, good grass and a few trail rides later this couple put an ad up in the local feed store.

At this very same time, a sweet “horse crazy” young girl had convinced her parents to let her take some riding lessons. She caught the bug and now dreamed of having her own horse. After some poking and prodding her parents answered an ad they found at the local feed store: an Appaloosa mare – for sale!

The little girl, whose name is Amanda, met the little mare, who’s name is Nia, and as most dreams happen (when they come true) it was destined they be together.

One man's trash is another's treasure

Amanda started to take lessons from a local profes-sional. After about six weeks of lessons Amanda and Nia

entered the Foothills Riding Club Horse Trial at FENCE where they won their dres-sage class and successfully

completed the cross-country course and stadium jump-ing. They ended up high point!

sedimentation and soil erosion as set forth in North Carolina General Statute, Chapter 113A, Article 4 (sedi-mentation pol-lution control).

A c c o r d -ing to the draft amendment, no zoning compli-ance certificate will be issued for develop-ment involving land disturbing activity if more than one acre is to be uncov-ered unless an erosion control plan has been approved by the N.C. Division of Land Resources through the N.C. Department Division of Environmental Management.

In cases where land under one acre will be disturbed, the proposal requires the person applying for the zoning compli-ance certificate to affirm that the land-disturbing activity will be conducted in conformance with the state sedimentation and soil erosion standards.

• Saluda eyes(Continued from page 1)

Residential and commercial development requiring off-site removal of more than 500 cu-bic yards of earth material will require application to the city, including a grading plan, accord-

ing to the draft provisions.

T h e S a -luda Planning Board approved the proposed amendments to the zoning ordi-nance recently. The city has not yet discussed possible permit fees for excava-tion.

Commission-ers agreed the

current draft does not do everything the city needs pertaining to excavat-ing property, but they said it does give the city a starting point and changes can be made in the future.

“We asked the planning board to give us a beginning place,” Sa-luda commssioner George Sweet said. “I think we need to move ahead with [the amendments]. We can have a hearing and get it on the books and in the meantime the planning board can make changes to it.”

Local fiber group meets today at Mill Spring Ag Centerby Barbara Tilly

Area spinners, weavers, knit-ters, quilters, embroiderers and other fiber artists are invited to a meeting of a local fiber group Tuesday, Aug. 16 from 6-8 p.m. at the Mill Spring Agricultural Center.

The group was formed re-cently to find creative ways to grow the local fiber economy and revive the area’s rich his-tory of textile traditions. Hosted by Mountain BizWorks for the purpose of supporting the fiber arts, the group works together with Handmade in America to establish a regional branding and marketing program to build a sustainable, successful fiber

economy for Polk County and the surrounding area.

Some of the ideas for possible activities and events discussed at the group’s July meeting in-cluded:

• Developing a garden of plants for dyeing use and possibly a shared dyeing studio;

• Developing a directory of local resources for yarns, sup-plies, dyers, weavers, spinners, knitters, quilters, embroiderers and others involved in fiber pro-duction, processing and use;

• Hosting a “fiber tour” that would allow participants to visit fiber-related sites, including local

Margaret Louise Forbes

Margaret Louise Forbes, lo-cal champion of education and philanthropy, passed away on Aug. 12, 2011 at the age of 96. Margaret lived in Polk County for more than 40 years. Margaret dedicated herself to serving her community through generous charitable giving, volunteering and tireless work, to expand educational opportunities for children and students.

Born May 9, 1915 in Flint, Mich., Margaret was the only child of Bernice and Harvey Dodds. Margaret and her fam-ily spent the summers on Lake Long, Mich., where she became a strong swimmer. She attended Central High in Michigan, play-ing the lead in many plays before graduating in 1933.

She went on to the University of Michigan, where she excelled in history and music, and was a classical pianist with her own studio on campus. She was a member of the Pi Beta Phi soror-ity, graduating in 1938, the same year she married her high school sweetheart, Stuart Forbes.

Stuart was an executive with Ethyl Gasoline Corporation. Margaret and Stuart lived in many different cities and towns across the United States. They loved to travel and made ex-tensive trips overseas for busi-ness and pleasure. When Stuart retired in the 1970s, the couple moved to Red Fox where Stuart, an exceptional golfer, could be close to the golf course. Mar-garet volunteered with the St. Luke’s Auxiliary and the Green Blades Garden Club. Margaret attended the Congregational Church and Jackson’s Grove Methodist Church during her years in Polk County.

Following Stuart’s death in 1985, Margaret founded the

Obituaries

Stuart and Margaret L. Forbes Scholarship Program at the Polk County Community Founda-tion. Margaret became increas-ingly committed to supporting organizations in the community and continually sought out op-portunities to enrich children’s lives and the quality of their education. Margaret’s vision and major charitable gifts have provided extraordinary benefits to children and citizens in our community.

In 1995, Margaret purchased and donated the Duke Power building in Tryon to the school system for the Forbes Preschool Center, to be used as a full-day preschool. The Forbes pre-school, with its highly success-ful program for children in Polk County, was dedicated by Gov-ernor James B. Hunt and served as an impetus for establishing preschool programs at every elementary school in North Carolina.

In 1998, Margaret formed the Stuart and Margaret L. Forbes Foundation, which has dis-tributed more than $400,000 in scholarships to high school students and grants to local or-ganizations.

In support of teachers, Mar-garet also endowed a scholar-ship fund at the N.C. Center for the Advancement of Teaching, which provides an annual week of training for the Polk County teacher of the year.

In honor of her extraordinary

service, in 2003 Governor Mi-chael F. Easley presented Marga-ret Forbes with the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, among North Carolina’s most prestigious awards, which recognizes “spe-cial confidence in the integrity, learning and zeal” of its recipi-ents, which have included Maya Angelou, Billy Graham, Michael Jordan and Charles Kuralt.

In 2007, the Polk County Board of Education honored Margaret with the Stewards of Education Award, recognizing her as a “truly staunch supporter of quality learning opportunities for young people in the Polk County Schools.”

Margaret has demonstrated what we can do when we open our heart. To celebrate her life and to honor her memory, touch the life of a child with a kind act, embrace community.

A memorial service will be held Friday, Aug. 19 at 11 a.m. in the Congregational Church on Melrose Avenue in Tryon.

The World of Mice

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

A mouse is a small rodent that can be found almost anywhere on the planet. There are approximately 40 different species of this mammal. The most com-mon type of mouse in the United States is called a House Mouse, which is about six inches in length and appropriately named for its preferred living space--our homes! The common House Mouse can have as many as 150 babies a year. Another common type of mouse in America is the Deer Mouse. A Deer Mouse has a coat of fur that looks very similar to a deer’s. Mice are characterized by their long tails and two prominent front teeth, which grow continuously through-out a lifetime. Constant gnawing keeps the teeth ground down and manage-able for the mouse. Mice eat 15 to 20 times a day and live mostly off of seeds, plants, fruits and vegetables, insects, and even meat or dairy products that they find discarded by humans. Mice have even been known to eat their own feces. For this reason, mice carry diseases that can be transmitted to people. The smallest mouse in the world is the African Pygmy Mouse, which is found in the sub-Saharan regions of Africa. A full grown adult is only 1.2 inches long.

10 tuesday, august 16, 2011 tryon daily Bulletin / the World’s smallest daily neWspaper

by Joey Millwood

North and South Carolina had been thirsty for rain in re-cent months and on Saturday, the rains poured.

The storm clouds, however, faded just in time for another thirst to be quenched. Just an hour before the Border Show-case Classic kicked off in Gaffney, S.C., the storm clouds parted and the sun peeked through, and for the fans that had long been thirsty for high school football, the cup ran over.

Polk County quarterback Alec Philpott runs down the sidelines for a first down in the Border Showcase Classic. Polk lost to Spartanburg 21-0 in the two-quarter scrimmage in Gaffney, S.C. on Saturday night. This was the seventh installment of the Border Showcase. (photo by Joey Millwood)

The Classic was started by Polk County coach Bruce Ol-lis seven years ago and has become one of the more high profile scrimmage jamborees in the Carolinas. The seventh annual event hosted some of the toughest competition in the two states.

The Wolverines kicked the night off against South Carolina 4A school Spartanburg. The Vikings jumped out early on the Wolverines.

In the first possession of the first quarter, Viking quar-terback Adrian Kollock ran in a touchdown in the first two

minutes. Four minutes later, Kollock

hit wide receiver Ariand Wood-ruff for a second touchdown.

After a three and out on their first drive, the Wolverines finally settled down.

In their second possession, Polk quarterback Alec Philpott converted a third and 11 with his feet, scampering up the left sidelines before being knocked out of bounds after a 12-yard run. Jay Sutton pounded up the

Wolverines learn lessons in Border Showcase“It’s a scrimmage. We’re going to learn from it and move from there.”

-- Coach Bruce Ollis

middle for a nine-yard run. A delay then pushed the

Wolverines back. Then on fourth down, the Vikings came up with an interception.

The Vikings added one more touchdown in the second quar-ter when Kollock handed the ball off to running back Deun-trelle Goudelock, who ran the ball into the endzone.

The most exciting moment of the night for Polk came in their final possession.

The Wolverines faced a fourth and 8 on the Viking side of the field. Ollis sent out the punt unit. Joel Booker awaited the snap and when it came, he

• Showcase(Continued from page 10)

took off up the right side of the field for a 14-yard carry and a first down.

When the buzzer sounded, however, the Vikings won the two-quarter scrimmage 21-0.

“It’s a scrimmage,” Ollis said. “We’re going to learn from it and move from there.”

The result from Saturday night’s contest was not a man-date on how his team will fare this season, Ollis said.

“That doesn’t mean we don’t have a good football team,” he said. “We have a good team that can compete for a conference title this season.”

Byrnes (S.C.) beat Asheville 21-7 in the next game. Gaffney (S.C.) won the late game 35-6 over T.C. Roberson.

The event for the day on Aug. 8 at the Tryon Country Club for the Tryon Men’s Golf Association was Indi-vidual Low Net.

Conversations with our moving boxes Last article, I wrote about my

moving escapade. After the journey was com-

pleted, I had a strange conversa-tion with the mountains of boxes I had to face. The following is the awkward yet teachable mo-ment I had with my boxes.

Upon walking into the room to breath a sigh of relief:

Boxes: “We own you. You do realize that, don’t you?”

Me: “God, is that you?”B o x e s :

“Well , so to s p e a k , w e could be your god, but alas we are not. We are your pos-sessions.”

Me: “I must be hallucinat-ing from the dehydration. Stop talking to me, you’re weirding me out.”

Boxes: “Oh, you don’t mean that, sugar, why don’t you come over here and pay attention to me.”

Me: “Sugar – what box just called me sugar?”

Boxes: “The one over here marked 'Crystal’s stuff'. I’m the box of memories of your dates with your wife. Those were some wonderful days.”

Me: “Wow, look at this. I can’t believe I wrote all of these love letters and poems. I haven’t done that in….”

Boxes: “A long time, I know. I've been neglected. You've changed a lot in 11 years.”

Me: “Hey come on now, I have a lot on my plate. I have a job, bills, kids and everyday life stuff going on here. I don’t have time for romance anymore.

I barely have time for me.” Boxes: “Well, you betta come up with some time, homeboy, check yo-self befo’ you wreck yo-self!”

Me: “Do I have a rap CD playing or something? Who’s wrecking who?”

Boxes: “Over here, dude, the box with all yo junk from the days of old school bro.”

Me: “Is that the box from my younger college days?”

B o x e s : “That's right, word up, home slice.”

Me: “Home slice? I used to talk like that? Look, here 's

some old CDs I used to listen to. I sure have grown up since then.”

Boxes: “I know, man. I been chillaxin' around here fo’ years waitin’ fo’ you to go get me outta this mess.”

Me: “No problem, I think you need speech therapy. That isn’t me anymore. I’ll put you in the thrift store pile.”

Boxes: “You should have done that years ago, Chris. Instead you’ve hung onto these mountains of boxes. Maybe in hopes of clinging to a part of yourself that no longer is.”

Me: “Gee, that sounded quite wise, I’m glad I kept you – who-ever you are.”

Boxes: “I’m one of the boxes of books you have. The one with all your philosophy and theology books in it. I’ve been elected by all the boxes to talk some sense into you.”

Me: “Some sense? Am I out

of my mind or something?”Boxes: “Why, yes, in a way

you are. You’ve kept boxes of ‘stuff’ for years, now look at your pile! How long have you lived without these possessions that these boxes hold? You re-ally don’t need all of this clutter, do you?”

Me: “Oh, well, I suppose some of these boxes haven’t been gone through in 10 years or so. But there is always the possibility of one day...”

Boxes: “One day you may accumulate more stuff, and then what? What good are more things taking up space in your life when there are things less important taking up space already?”

Me: “Oh, you mean the whole romance thingy right? Well, I was thinking about that. Yes, that love letterbox is definitely staying. After all, she called me sugar.”

Boxes: “That box is just a box – it represents the very things that you’ve decided not to place importance on any-more, while holding onto those things that are less important.”

Me: “You’re good! You, my philosopher, are a definite keep-er! You have opened my eyes. I will start thumbing through all the junk, and getting back to what’s really important. You deserve a raise.”

Boxes: “They’re not paying me. My services are free of charge.”

Me: “Oh, sorry. Well, you deserve something for all your cardboard wisdom.”

Boxes: “Getting you to de-clutter your life is enough, my apprentice.”
