Tryon to allow more public comment for picketing ordinanceby Leah Justice

Tryon Town Council is giv-ing the public at least one more chance to make comments prior to adopting an amend-ment to its code of ordinances for parades and pickets within town.

Commissioners held a pub-lic hearing April 16 and dis-cussed the latest changes to the draft. Only two residents asked questions and council held a general discussion about the proposal.

The draft includes that any-

one wishing to picket or parade in town must file a notice of intent. The current draft does not include a fee for the notice and the majority of council said they do not wish to add a fee.

Like father, like son


One question raised last month by council was how far away from open businesses the town could restrict picketers. Town attorney Bailey Nager said he and town employees surveyed downtown and de-termined that a radius of 10 feet is appropriate. He said if you restrict it to a 10-ft. radius there would be room on the sidewalk to picket but if you restrict it larger than 10 ft. it would exclude any areas on the

sidewalk to picket.Nager said commission-

ers should also note there is language in the ordinance that says picketers cannot interfere with pedestrian traffic on the sidewalk. In the existing town ordinance there was a distance of 15 feet required between picketers with the current draft including no distance required between picketers due to the language being problematic, according to Nager.

Tryon officials have taken caution in drafting the ordi-nance to not infringe on a per-

son’s First Amendment right to free speech. The town has dis-cussed the ordinance over the last few months, held a public hearing last week and decided not to adopt the ordinance until next month after another public commenting opportunity.

Commissioner Doug Arbo-gast asked if the town could refuse someone’s permit for a parade.

Nager said there is a list of reasons why the town could refuse a parade, including any wrongdoings the person or group may have done in past

parades or if the timing is bad because of traffic reasons. If it’s anything that pertains to free speech, Nager said, the town could face trouble if they refuse them their free speech.

Commissioner Roy Miller asked if the town could estab-lish time periods that picketing could occur in town.

Commissioner George Bak-er said he thinks creating time zones is something the town can’t do.

“As long as they are orderly and not trespassing the time and place doesn’t enter [the situation],” said Baker.

Nager said there is language that picketing can’t be done in front of an individual residence and that language has held up in court.

Discussions of an ordinance first surfaced following an Oct. 21, 2012 demonstration downtown where more than 50 members of St. John the Bap-tist Catholic Church gathered along the sidewalks holding signs against abortion.

Commissioners met the next month and asked if there is anyway to regulate future demonstrations with some say-ing there was an issue with the demonstration blocking open businesses.

The current draft states that picketing cannot be done within a 10-foot radius of the entrance to an open business. Picketing in front of closed businesses will not be regu-lated.

The ordinance will be con-sidered during council’s May meeting after another oppor-tunity for public comment. The draft ordinance can be viewed on the town’s website at www.tryon-nc.com under news/events or a copy can be requested at town hall.


Tryon approves visitor’s center/museum at town hallby Leah Justice

Although Tryon council members are not sure exactly where yet, commissioners ap-proved housing a Tryon visi-tor’s center and museum in town hall.

Council met April 16 and heard from Happy McLeod, who heads an ad hoc commit-tee formed to create a museum and relocate the town’s visitor’s center.

The effort is being coordinat-ed through the committee, town counc i l , t he Tryon Down-town Develop-ment Associa-tion (TDDA) and the Tryon Tourism De-v e l o p m e n t A s s o c i a t i o n (TTDA).

M c L e o d said the effort started last sum-mer when she represented Tryon in the N.C. Small Town Main Street Program. She said the program is not to help small towns survive, but to help them thrive. She said Tryon was used as an example on several occa-sions, including using Morris the horse as a way of branding the town and the outhouse races during the April Fool’s festival as being something unique. What Tryon is missing, McLeod said, is Tryon’s story, what at-tracts you neighbors.

“I thought this was the area maybe we had dropped the ball on,” McLeod said. “We need to stand up and tell people who we are.”

The committee has held two meetings so far with McLeod saying 16 residents attended the first and 10 attended the second. There are several subjects, or sub-committees established to work on the history of Tryon, including the equestrian com-munity, the arts, toy makers, churches, architecture, vine-

yards, schools and genealogy.Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples

said he has enough historical items to fill up at least one room and he knows of another person who has 60 pieces to fill another two rooms. Peoples is represent-ing council on the committee.

“Eventually I’d like to see an elevator (at town hall) be-cause we have 900 square feet upstairs that’s not utilized,” Peoples said.

Commissioner Roy Miller asked if the group has looked

at other places.M c L e o d

said town hall i s t h e o n l y place to be. It’s the right loca-tion and with the parking and ramp coming into the area there’s no bet-

ter place.“And it’s the most afford-

able,” McLeod said. “Hopefully down the road we will have the money to have someone run it and move to a larger place.”

Town hall offices moved in recent years from the middle of the building to the right side due to mold issues. Some have suggested the museum/visitor’s center be located where offices are currently located and offices be moved back to the middle of the building.

The town recently began working on removing the mois-ture and mold in the building.

Miller said he agreed that part of the reason for moving the offices was because of the mold but the other was because of the congestion of the staff.

“I think if we move all of our staff back to that side we’re going to have the same problem we started out with,” Miller said.

Miller also brought up issues

with parking. He said months ago the town was looking at additional property across the street for staff parking.

C o m m i s -s ioner Doug Arbogast asked why the muse-um couldn’t be located in the empty space where offices were formerly located.

“ I ’ m n o t o p p o s e d t o the museum,” Miller said. “I think it’s already congested there as far as park-ing. I could agree with Doug (about housing the museum in the current empty space).”

McLeod said the committee is open.

• Tryon museum(Continued from page 5)

“We’re not locked in to one end of the building or the other,” said McLeod.

Council decided to ask an architect to volunteer to look at town hall and suggest the best use of the space.

M c L e o d said the com-mittee is trying to get any mon-ies raised fun-neled through the Polk Coun-ty Community F o u n d a t i o n and she already has two pos-sible grants to apply for soon.

She said the next step, following council’s approval, is to meet with the N.C. Small Town Main Street Program and the Western Archives and History in Ashe-ville, who help towns with such projects.

“I’m not opposed to the museum. I think it’s already congested there as far as parking. I could agree with Doug (about housing the museum in the current empty space).”

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongue’s roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

Did you know that dogs use their

tongues to sweat? Dogs do not have sweat glands like

humans, so they use their tongues and the pads of their feet to

release heat.

Did you know that it is true that if you stick your tongue to a cold, metal pole in the winter it will stick

to it? Be aware!

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascar’s primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemur’s natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

The Institution’s namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after.

Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

the unitarian universalist fel-lowship will meet at 10:30 a.m. on april 28 at the tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176n.

Reverend Sally Beth Shore will speak on the topic, “Love one another, Love the earth.”

another earth day has just passed, that’s 44 of them now since the first one in 1970, and what have we learned? are things better or worse from an environ-

mental perspective? it’s a mixed bag, but there are some very bright spots; one of them is the religious response to our environmental woes. uu meeting attendees will look at this movement within vari-ous religious traditions, as well as from our own Seventh Principle. Perhaps the best hope for the en-vironment lies not in science, but in faith, or, at least, in a creative collaboration between the two.

Sally Beth Shore received her m.div from meadville Lombard theological School in may of 2012.

Prior to beginning ministerial formation, her work was in the field of environmental science, and she continues to do presenta-

tions about global warming for the Climate Reality Project. from 2008-2010 she served as the intern minister for the unitarian univer-salist Congregation of the Swan-nanoa Valley in Black mountain.

She lives with her husband and three children in asheville, where she is a member of the uu Con-gregation of asheville. Shore was ordained by the uu Congregation of asheville on march 22, 2013.

Community members are in-vited to come early and join in fellowship and refreshments. for information, call 828-894-5776 or visit uutryonnc.org to view the latest newsletter.

Shore speaks to Unitarians April 28on friday, may 3 at noon,

holy Cross episcopal Church is holding a charity Royal tea Party hosted by comedienne and staunch anglophile, Pam Stone.

in england when a baby is born, it is a local custom to go down to the pub and raise a few glasses of ale, or as they say, “Let’s wet the baby’s head!” in honor of the impending birth of the first child of Royal Couple, Prince Wil-liam and Kate middleton, tryon will have its own celebration with a tea party and baby shower.

the new royal baby will al-ready have everything it needs, so instead, holy Cross will collect

baby gifts, diapers, wipes and other supplies for our own local moms and infants. all baby items will be distributed to the Safety net Project through the Polk County health department. any profit from the tea will be used by the holy Cross outreach fund to provide much needed local help to those in financial crisis.

there is a small fee for tickets and each attendee is asked to also bring a baby gift, diapers or other baby items. the tea will feature sweet and savory goodies, includ-ing scones. handsome waiters will serve the guests. there will be door prizes graciously donated

by our wonderful local merchants.tickets are available at the

church office (150 melrose av-enue in tryon) as well as at the following locations:

Columbus - flower Cottage and tryon mountain hardware

Landrum - PJ’s fashionSaluda - Kathleen’sTryon - Book Shelf, Salon

the unitarian universalist fel-lowship will meet at 10:30 a.m. on april 28 at the tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176n.

Reverend Sally Beth Shore will speak on the topic, “Love one another, Love the earth.”

another earth day has just passed, that’s 44 of them now since the first one in 1970, and what have we learned? are things better or worse from an environ-

mental perspective? it’s a mixed bag, but there are some very bright spots; one of them is the religious response to our environmental woes. uu meeting attendees will look at this movement within vari-ous religious traditions, as well as from our own Seventh Principle. Perhaps the best hope for the en-vironment lies not in science, but in faith, or, at least, in a creative collaboration between the two.

Sally Beth Shore received her m.div from meadville Lombard theological School in may of 2012.

Prior to beginning ministerial formation, her work was in the field of environmental science, and she continues to do presenta-

tions about global warming for the Climate Reality Project. from 2008-2010 she served as the intern minister for the unitarian univer-salist Congregation of the Swan-nanoa Valley in Black mountain.

She lives with her husband and three children in asheville, where she is a member of the uu Con-gregation of asheville. Shore was ordained by the uu Congregation of asheville on march 22, 2013.

Community members are in-vited to come early and join in fellowship and refreshments. for information, call 828-894-5776 or visit uutryonnc.org to view the latest newsletter.

Shore speaks to Unitarians April 28on friday, may 3 at noon,

holy Cross episcopal Church is holding a charity Royal tea Party hosted by comedienne and staunch anglophile, Pam Stone.

in england when a baby is born, it is a local custom to go down to the pub and raise a few glasses of ale, or as they say, “Let’s wet the baby’s head!” in honor of the impending birth of the first child of Royal Couple, Prince Wil-liam and Kate middleton, tryon will have its own celebration with a tea party and baby shower.

the new royal baby will al-ready have everything it needs, so instead, holy Cross will collect

baby gifts, diapers, wipes and other supplies for our own local moms and infants. all baby items will be distributed to the Safety net Project through the Polk County health department. any profit from the tea will be used by the holy Cross outreach fund to provide much needed local help to those in financial crisis.

there is a small fee for tickets and each attendee is asked to also bring a baby gift, diapers or other baby items. the tea will feature sweet and savory goodies, includ-ing scones. handsome waiters will serve the guests. there will be door prizes graciously donated

by our wonderful local merchants.tickets are available at the

church office (150 melrose av-enue in tryon) as well as at the following locations:

Editor’s note: Watch weekly on Thursdays for equestrian-themed articles from freelance writer Kirk Gollwitzer.

As the spring days become warmer, and the grasses grow thicker and greener, many people are suffering from the uncomfort-able effects of grass and tree pollen. At this time each year, it is important that horse owners pay particular at-tention to the grazing habits of their herd. Harmful effects of a sudden high-calorie intake, coupled with increased levels of sugars, caused by photosynthesis, can have detri-mental effects on horses.

With the slightest change of color in the spring grass, horses will instantly notice and begin to take full advantage of even the smallest pieces of greenery. With just a few more doses of rain, grass and weeds will begin growing rapidly, and this will be the time when care takers should pay particular attention to

the diet of their horses. While there are many things to watch out for during the spring, topping the list of concerns are laminitis and colic, which can, if left untreated, result in devastating consequences.

While many horses seem to be immune to the increased levels of sugars and grass volume, others are highly sensitive. Horses with a propensity for chronic laminitis react differently to the increased amounts of sugar in the vegeta-tion they consume. The delicate laminae tissue on the souls of the feet become inflamed and begin to change with respect to the neighbor-ing coffin bone.

Owners should periodically inspect the feet of their horse for sensitivity, color changes, and tem-perature differences. When horses begin to show signs of laminitis, owners must contact their veteri-narian immediately, and move to corrective measures with regard to

treatment and diet plan. If laminitis is ignored, it can progress into a foundering situation, or a coffin

bone rotation, which is very serious,

Recognizing early signs of laminitis and colic in horses

Would you let a fox guard your hen house?

Some legislators in Raleigh seemto think it would be a good ideawhen it comes to your right to knowwhat the city or county is up to.

House Bills 504 and 755 and Senate Bills 287 and 186 wouldallow officials to avoid putting a public notice in the place wherecitizens know to find them, in the local newspaper.

Zoning hearings. Changes in city ordinances. Bids on publicprojects. When government only has to let you know about these byputting items on its own website, without the independentverification of the newspaper, your rights are put in jeopardy.Officials could simply say, “TRUST US, we placed a notice on ourwebsite. Sorry if you didn’t see it when it was online.”

There is a better way. House Bill 723 ensures continued publicationin newspapers and adds notification on newspaper websites.

Tell your legislator to vote for HB 723and against all other public notices legislation!

resulting in severe lameness and sometimes death.

According to Dr. James Orsini, associate professor of surgery at the George D. Widener Hospital for Large Animals, New Bolton Center, “The horse standing in a founder stance, will attempt to decrease the load on the affected feet. If it has laminitis in the front hooves, it will bring its hind legs underneath its body and put its forelegs out in front.”

Another warning, with regard to the consumption of the rich spring grass, has to do with weight management and colic preven-tion, which is caused by increased amounts of gas or a sudden impac-tion of grass, hay, water and grain. During the spring and summer months, horses can eat up to three to four times what they would normally consume during cooler seasons. Owners must monitor caloric levels and strive to balance their intake with the digestive out-put. Colic, on the other hand, should not be considered a mere condition of discomfort, but the leading cause of premature death in the domestic horse population.

By paying strict attention to your horse’s comfort profile, during a time that should be considered the colic-season, horse owners can catch this potentially fatal condition early. Frequently, horses that are experiencing the discomforts asso-ciated with colic will stand in awk-ward positions, appearing to contort themselves to a point of relief. Other horses will moan, attempt to urinate, stretch, roll, pace, lay down and rise more often. Anytime a horse appears to take on an odd physical stance, closer examination is called for, along with immediate contact to a veterinarian. “Although colic surgery was considered hopeless 60 years ago, today it can save horses from the devastating diseases and give them a long life, free of compli-cations and recurrence,” said David E. Freeman, MVB, PhD.

Horses, as humans, suffer from the similar effects of tree and grass pollen, in their eyes, skin, digestive and respiratory systems. Veterinar-

ians can prescribe similar treatments for the relief of these seasonal dis-comforts, with a full line of equine antihistamines, anti-inflammatory, eye drops, and other drugs.

Below is a list of recommenda-tions horse owner can follow this spring in an attempt to stave off the uncomfortable and sometime harmful effects of allergies:

• Do not allow horses to graze within 24-hours after a pasture has been cut.

• Dampen hay rations with water, in an effort to keep the dust particles to a minimum.

• Gently wipe down the horse’s face, eyes, and nostrils with warm water and a clean cloth, removing all remnants of dust and pollen.

• Brush the horse more frequent-ly to remove pollen, dust particles and other irritants from the areas on the horse where this material tends to accumulate.

• Ask a veterinarian about vita-min supplements, which can boost the horse’s immunities, reduce inflammation and bolster their own defense mechanisms.

• Laminitis(Continued from page 10)

• Assure that all water troughs are cleaned more frequently and adequately filled with a fresh sup-ply, for the increase demand during the warmer temperatures.

Responsible horse owners should not ignore the sometimes

subtle changes in the spring veg-etation and airborne allergens, for while they might be mildly irritating for humans, untreated conditions in horses, resulting from allergic reactions, can be painful and lead to major downstream complications.

As wildflowers and weeds pop up this spring, keep a watch on your horses health.

This weekend as you plot your tours to Art Trek galleries and open studios of area artists and craftsmen, be sure to visit the new gallery in town —Thompson’s Garden Gal-lery at 83 Palmer Street. It’s very accessible — behind Stott’s Ford and around the corner from Skyuka Fine Art and Green River galleries on Trade Street. Too, Tryon Painters & Sculptors on Maple Street is less than a block away.

The Garden Gallery represents more than 30 artisans. During Art Trek, however, the gallery will fea-ture special exhibits and demonstra-tions by Matt Cable (mixed media), Becky Collins (encaustic), Joe Cooper (coppersmithing), Grace Lertora (painting and collage), Patricia Roshaven (painting and photography) and Mara and Ford Smith (writing and photography).

Over the Art Trek weekend, these artisans will be giving dem-onstrations and talks. On Saturday, Lertora will work on a collage and answer questions. Matt Cable will talk about how he integrates vari-ous techniques (painting, drawing, mapping, writing and photography) into original works on canvas and

salvaged materials. Throughout the day, gallery manager Becky Collins will give encaustic demonstrations and speak about the process. On Saturday morning, Joe Cooper will appear and show how he works with copper. Saturday afternoon, Patricia Roshaven will talk about her photography and how it influ-ences her paintings.

On Sunday afternoon, Cable and Collins will continue demonstrat-ing mixed media and encaustic techniques. Ford Smith will answer questions about digital photography, the process of printing with archival inks on archival papers – including how to tone-map your printer for realistic images. In addition, Mara Smith will be on hand with copies of their published books.

To give you an idea of what you’ll be seeing and learning, each Art Trek artisan at the Garden Gal-lery has described his or her work. Mixed-media artist Matt Cable fo-cuses on contemporary reflections of nature. He said he feels, “Art should be accessible affordable, and appreciated. My artistic process

TIPS FOR SUBMITTING PHOTOS TO

The Tryon Daily BulletinToday, April 7, 2013, is my

83rd birthday. It is a bright Sunday morning with spring definitely springing forth, with forsythia and jonquils heralding the new season. As I check my emails I find a delightful e-card from my loving Fran, even as she deals with the pain of a toothache. She served my favorite breakfast, too!

I have written many lines, fill-ing three books, and one of those lines suggests that we should h o n o r o u r MOTHER on OUR birthday, as it is a day she doubtless remembers very well. My mother sang to me, read to me, taught me a lot of stuff and loved me as only a mother could. She wrote me a letter every day when I was in basic training in the Air Force . . . the mail clerk never failed to announce one for “O. Goodwin,” perfect for an airman of Scot-Irish descent.

She was also a tireless worker bee who shared with me how to use a broom properly and how to clean the bathroom—all of it, fixtures and floor. To quote from the tribute I wrote for our church’s Book of Memory, “Mother turned houses into homes in a lot of places for whoever in her fam-ily needed her . . . ‘available’ to ease the living or the dying . . . If alone, she was probably reading. If you came in she would offer you coffee and conversation . . . she seemed to be content to be at home, in Daddy’s big chair, by the bookcase.”

My father, whose name I also bear, died from injuries he suffered in an automobile wreck when I was 8 years old. I honor his mem-ory, too, as I remember the things he taught me. Some of these were how to build a fire in the water heater stove and how to mow the yard with a reel mower, for which I furnished the motive power: keep the center of the mower on the edge of the last swath for thorough coverage and every blade of grass cut to the same height.

He also took me out to the ball game (Uncle Wallace was short-stop for the Moors of Moores-ville) and to the field where a barnstormer was offering airplane rides. That first ride with my Dad and his subsequent explanations in my relentless thirst for knowledge laid a foundation for my becom-ing an aeronautical engineer and private pilot.

When Moth-er Nature failed to provide, we adopted two children through the Edna Glad-ney Home in Fort Worth, Tex-

as. They have been a wonderful blessing to us. I was happy to play with other people’s kids, but Fran felt keenly incomplete with no little people underfoot. They sure filled our house and our hearts as they grew to become big people, full of knowledge and confidence. They in turn have given us more little people to cherish and watch grow big, too.

There is no way to cram 83 years of living into one column, just as there was no way to do that when we sold our big house to “downsize.” We bought a little four-room house in “The Woods” and I promptly added three more rooms! I felt that we deserved at least one good house when we retired, and I designed our dream house and built most of it myself. It is the only problem-free house we have ever had, and Jim and Shelby Dorsett appreciate it now.

I was the only dad my kids knew who liked to go to work on Monday morning. Designing things and solving engineering problems is fun! I got my name on some pretty good airplanes, among them the Convair 880/990, Boeing 747, Vought F8U and A7, and McDonnell-Douglas (now Boeing) F/A-18E/F Super Hornet (the Navy Blue Angels fly the older F-18 still; they get better gas mileage) Then there were 20 years of playing with NASA

Over the years Ann Landers helped me to better understand people. I have learned that every life contains some soap opera, and that everyone I meet is an interesting, unique person. I am on first-name basis with hundreds

of wonderful people, from the la-dies who clean the post office and friends’ bathrooms to the sheriff, county commissioners, former teachers and captains of airlin-ers, armies and major industries. It is not so much the machinery (which I love and understand) as the people (whom I also love and too often do not understand) that make the world go ’round.

Y’all please continue to give me a hug, handshake or at least a wave as you go by, OK?

Frontiers art show at ICC Polk

Isothermal Community College is proud to showcase the work of past and present students of instructor Don Blackwell in a month-long invitational art show. The opening reception for the New Frontiers Art Show will be held Friday, April 26 from 6 – 9 p.m. at Isothermal Community College’s Polk Center in Columbus. Light refreshments will be served and attendees will have the opportunity to meet and talk with the artists. All artwork will remain on display

in the auditorium and lobby of ICC’s Polk Center from April 26 – May 24. The show is free and open to the public. For more information call 828-894-3092 or visit the website at www.isothermal.edu/learnstuffpolk. (photos submitted)

remains organic. Without the expe-rience of creating one work, the next work may not come into existence.”

“Though I’ve been working in encaustic for three years,” says Becky Collins, “still, I find the medium intoxicating. Literally, I fall into the process of creating depth and texture. I love sharing the encaustic experience with others.”

Joe Cooper admits, “I fell under the spell of the torch 45 years ago. My formal and informal studies brought me to focus on innovative copper lighting fixtures, fountains, and other forms of functional art. I collaborate with architects and in-terior designers to produce custom

works. For Art Trek at the Garden Gallery, I’ll be exhibiting one of my bas-relief sculpture panels.”

“Born in Argentina, my Latino heritage inspires my passion for col-or and contrast,” comments painter and collage maker Grace Lertora. “I get excited by forms, spaces, and their relationships – both figurative and abstract. It will be my pleasure to share my excitement about col-lage with art trekkers.”

Artist Patricia Roshaven shares “While digital photography requires carrying out the technical demands of camera, computer and editing software to create a beautiful image, I enjoy painting the most without any thought of technique or final image. I love both processes.”

Photographer Ford Smith re-

marks, “We print affordable fine art. Each giclée print is hand-pulled and printed with archival inks on archival papers.”

Mara and Ford Smith will exhib-it some of their bestselling, signed and numbered prints. In addition, there will be notecards. As writers, the couple will sign copies of their various books.

Come enjoy the wealth of ex-periences of these Garden Gallery artists and craftsmen, working in collage, copper, encaustic, mixed media, photography, painting, even writing. And, as you trek among all the art and craft, you might find a plant or two, too.
