Morriskidnapped?
This past Saturday, Tryonites awoke to a bizarre sight. Anyone driving on Trade Street at the corner of Pacolet might have had to look twice… something was missing, something wasn’t quite right.
In a daring pre-dawn heist early last Saturday, as the com-munity slept, and after the revel-ers from the annual Blue Ridge BBQ had gone home, brazen kidnappers were able to spirit away the town’s beloved symbol and landmark, Morris the Tryon Horse.
In his place, a tall white saw-horse was erected, looming men-acingly in place of the beloved mascot (see the photo on page 3). The Bulletin has received a Morris, the historic icon usually located at the corner of Trade and
Pacolet streets in downtown Tryon, disappeared over the weekend. (photo by Crys Armbrust) (Continued on page 3)
Residents, commissioners ask state to install guardrails on Fork Creek RoadDOT to install warning signs for nowby Leah Justice
Polk County commissioners and Saluda residents are urging the N.C. Department of Transporta-tion (DOT) to install guardrails as
soon as possible along Fork Creek Road near Saluda, citing dangerous conditions.
Commissioners met Monday, June 4 in Saluda and approved a resolution regarding the road’s dan-gers and urging the state to improve the road as soon as possible.
Residents have written to state
officials and posted photographs at http://picasaweb.google.com/mean-whilebackinsaluda/ForkCreekroad-problems urging the state to install guardrails along sections of Fork Creek Road where there is a narrow shoulder at the top of a steep ravine.

ransom note stating the kidnappers’ demands (see page 4).
Officials are baffled as to how the bandits were able to accomplish their nefarious deed. Police Chief Jeff Arrowood was at a loss.
“The Tryon Police Department will work relent-lessly to follow all leads to the whereabouts of Morris. Believe me, no stone will go unturned,” Arrowood said.
Interim Manager Joey Davis also agreed the town would work to get to the bottom of the situation.
“I am shocked and dismayed at this turn of events. Morris has long stood as a fixture to welcome all who come to Tryon, ‘The friendliest town in the South.’ We will do our best to bring Morris home, but we’ll need everyone’s help in doing so,” Davis said.
Alan Peoples, the town’s mayor, was more precise, “The town needs to come together to help meet the kidnapper’s demands, we have lost not only a land-mark and symbol but a good friend.”
Morris, the Tryon Horse, was first created as a larger version of a popular child’s pull toy that was sold by the internationally famed “Tryon Toymakers and Woodcarvers,” a business owned by Eleanor Vance and Charlotte Yale.
The Tryon Riding and Hunt Club commissioned

the studio to create Morris, origi-nally 17’ high, to participate in a parade celebrating the club’s annual Tryon Horse Show. A pair of neophyte carvers was put on the job and he was completed in 1928. Once retired from parades, Morris was put to pasture at the corners of Trade Street and Paco-let, and he quickly became world famous as the town’s symbol, and a beacon welcoming people to ‘The friendliest town in the South.’ The now-missing Mor-ris is the fourth to preside there.
In 2011, The Tryon Riding and Hunt Club, officially donat-ed Morris to the Town of Tryon, and just last year he received a historical marker signifying his importance as the town’s landmark.
In the last few years, Mor-ris has fallen into disrepair, but
• Morris(Continued from page 3)
other needs precluded his repair and maintenance.
One of the requests from the kidnappers is that the Tryon Dai-ly Bulletin post their demands every week on Friday.
Will you help Save Morris?– article submitted
The ransom note the Bulletin received related to the disappearance of Morris from downtown Tryon Saturday night, June 9.
“I am shocked and dismayed at this turn of events. Morris has long stood as a fixture to welcome all who come to Tryon, ‘The friendliest town in the South.’ We will do our best to bring Morris home, but we’ll need everyone’s help in doing so.”

State officials have responded that they will install “narrow shoulder” signs until guardrails can be funded and installed.
Local residents say the most dangerous section is located 0.5 miles from the corner of Fork Creek Road and Pearson Falls Road. The DOT has said that portion of Fork Creek Road (SR1100), has minimal shoulder widths, including loca-tions with approximately 1 foot of shoulder, and meets DOT warrants for guardrail installation.
“In the last five years there have been four reported accidents on this section of SR 1100, Fork Creek Road, with only one of those leaving the roadway (not going off an embankment),” stated Steve Cannon, PE, DOT district engi-neer, in an email to Polk County. “On this portion of SR 1100, Fork Creek Road, NCDOT Traffic De-partment will be installing Narrow Shoulder signs until such time as guardrail can be installed.”
Mary Ann Asbill wrote a let-
ter dated April 22 to Rep. Trudi Walend, saying citizens have reported bad conditions on Fork Creek Road for many years.
“In the past, temporary and ineffective repairs have been made to the road bed itself. No repairs or prevention has been taken to solve the underlying cause of the road problems,” states Asbill’s letter to Walend. “Railings are needed to protect citizens who drive along Fork Creek Road. Erosion causes the roadbed to cave in and erosion has caused the shoulder of the road to become too soft to hold the weight of vehicles. Also, in the two most dangerous sections, there is no shoulder to the road at all. Any vehicle tire that goes even slightly over the white line will fall all the way to the bottom of the ravine.”
Asbill also mentions that school buses travel on the road and in-creased trailer traffic is visiting Or-chard Lake Campground, located along the road.
The commissioners’ resolution requests that state contingency funds be released to fund this project as soon as possible.

Preparations under way for Fab 4th Bike TourWells Fargo signs on as presenting sponsor for event
The Rotary Club of Tryon is currently getting ready for the Fabulous 4th Bike Tour, to be held on Wednesday, July 4, rain or shine. The event features hundreds of riders taking to Polk’s rural roads for a challenging tour of the county in an effort to raise funds for the Rotary Club of Tryon’s Gift of Life program.
This year, the bike tour will feature the well-known 67-mile route through Hunting Country and up the Greenville watershed, but will also offer a shorter, less challenging route of 34 miles for cycling enthusiasts. The cyclists will take off from Harmon Field at 7 a.m.
The presenting sponsor for this year’s bike tour will be Wells Fargo Advisors of Tryon. When
Mike Ashworth, senior vice presi-dent of Wells Fargo Advisors in Tryon, heard about the Gift of Life program he said he was eager to sup-port its mission to help local families facing the challenges associated with receiving spe-cialized medical care needed for their children.
“When our family moved to Tryon from Ra-leigh two years ago, we were so glad to know we had joined such a giving commu-nity. Getting involved in charity events like the Fabulous 4th Bike Tour is a great way to teach our children how to give back,” Ash-
worth said.The Gift of Life program was
established by Rotary Interna-tional in 1975. Because of the cur ren t eco-nomic climate, the Rotary Club of Tryon recent-ly decided to use Gift of Life funds locally. This program, which began in 2011, has already helped three families in the Polk area obtain medical services.

the ride or how to become a sponsor, visit wwwfabulous4th-biketour.org.

of Saluda is included in an ex-hibition of work by studio glass artists of western North Carolina that runs from June 11 to June 29 in Morganton, N.C.
The studio glass movement in America celebrates its 50th anni-versary in 2012. To recognize the work crafted by the studio glass artists of western North Carolina, an exhibition of work by 15 pre-eminent artists is scheduled in a collaborative show taking place in three downtown Morganton, N.C. galleries; the Burke Arts
Council, Kalā Gallery and MESH Gallery. An opening reception is scheduled for Saturday, June 16 from 5 – 8 p.m. at each participat-ing gallery.
The exhibition will focus on blown glass and architectural or sculptural work that incor-porates glass in its design. This includes many unique vessels in varied hues and colors, anatomi-cal forms in cast glass, stacked and etched monolithic shapes, painted two-dimensional work and lighted pieces, among others. The Burke Arts Council’s Jail-

Kalā Gallery will feature John Littleton and Kate Vogel, Victor Chiarizia, Rick Melby, Katherine and William Bernstein and Morganton native David Van Noppen.

Derby Dash 5K, Fun Walk raises $2,000 for FHS, Go GirlsThe Second Annual Derby
Dash 5K and Fun Walk was held recently at Derbyshire. Organiz-ers said the event was a success, thanks to donations from the race sponsors, great weather and a supportive community. More than 100 people participated in the 5K and Fun Walk, and more than 160 people gathered for the Derby Dash Breakfast.
The Derby Dash was a fund-raiser to benefit the Foothills Hu-mane Society and Go Girls, a run-ning club for fourth and fifth grade girls at Polk Central Elementary. Both groups were in attendance at the event. The Foothills Humane Society brought their “on the road team,” along with several dogs that were available for adoption.
The 5K race course took run-ners around the private lake at Derbyshire and onto the equestrian trails in the community. Eighteen members of Go Girls completed the 5K race this year.
In the spirit of the invitation to “Come Run, Walk or Eat,” every-one enjoyed a post-race breakfast provided by Good Life Catering of Greenville, S.C.

HEARING
Heard and not seen: Yellow-billed Cuckoos or “Raincrows”The Yellow-billed Cuckoo
is one of those shy, hard to find species that is more often heard than seen. Here in the Carolinas, its distinctive song of loud cluck-ing notes is a familiar sound during the summer months. The cuckoo’s breeding range encompasses the eastern United States as far north as southern Canada; the prairie states; small pockets in the West; and por-tions of northern Mexico. Here in the eastern US, this cuckoo pre-fers open wood-lands, riverine t h i c k e t s a n d brushy edges. It winters primar-ily in South America, from Pan-ama south to northern Argentina, where it forages in open forest and young successional habitats.
Although the Yellow-billed Cuckoo is not an uncommon bird, the secretive nature of this bird prevents many people from seeing it. It is not colorful, but has very distinctive plumage. As well as a brown head and back and snowy-white breast and bel-ly, the cuckoo sports red-brown wing feathers and a long tail
spotted below with large white tails spots. It also has a bright yellow lower portion of the bill, hence the bird’s common name.
Yellow-billed Cuckoos for-age for many species of insects, especially large caterpillars with tent caterpillars being espe-cially attractive food items and both Yellow and Black-billed Cuckoos may assist in con-
trolling popula-tions of these tree defoliators. Their nests are rather loosely c o n s t r u c t e d p la t fo rms o f sticks and lined with roots, dead
leaves and pine needles. Three to four blue eggs are laid.
Yellow-billed populations are relatively stable in the eastern United States, but in the West they have been declining at more than 1 percent per year since the 1970s. This amounts to one third fewer birds than existed only a generation ago. The likely culprit of this decline is the destruction of riparian vegetation, a result of cattle grazing, stream chan-nel alteration, water diversion for agriculture and the cutting
yelloW-BilleD CuCkoo. (phoTo By ToDD arCos)

of trees. Also pesticides may be curtailing populations in agricul-tural areas, both on its breeding and wintering grounds.
Here in Western North Caro-lina, Yellow-billed Cuckoos and their close relatives, Black-billed Cuckoos, appear around the beginning of May. While the former species breeds through-out our area, the Black-billed Cuckoo is a rare summer breed-ing bird, although it has re-cently begun to breed along the North Carolina coast – a very unusual change in its breeding range.
Next time you walk in the woods or take a FENCE bird
walk, listen carefully and you might hear the distinctive sounds of the “rain crow.” These cluck-ing sounds are very much a part of the woodlands throughout the southern US.

Chess takes root in Polk CountyThree years ago fifth grader
Russell Ruff began playing chess and soon his whole class was play-ing in Mrs. Smith’s fifth grade at Polk Central Elementary.
His Big Sister (Big Brother Big Sister), Lynne Parsons, organized chess volunteers and a chess angel donated chess sets. That is how it all began.
Volunteers coached the students and soon they began to play with the sets in the lunchroom, and chess fe-ver spread. The test scores for the class that year were outstanding, Smith said, at-tributing their excellence in part to chess.
Chess is a part of the curricu-lum in many states for just this reason. This is a game that teaches life skills such as reasoning and learning how to win and lose with dignity.
This year Smith asked the chess team to come back and have just finished another year of going every Friday for an hour and 15 minutes of instruction. Dr. Brian Crissey leads the team in conjunc-tion with volunteers John Fischer, Michael Veatch, Lynne Parsons and Martin Zschocher.
This year a monthly chess club
began meeting the third Saturday of every month at Morning Glory Farm in Mill Spring. The group met from 3 to 5 p.m. each month so kids that have an interest can start building skills. If you know a kid who would like to participate, call Parsons at 828-894-5595.
The infectious enthusiasm for the game at Polk Central has en-couraged Emily Bartlett to submit a grant application to fund chess
instruction in each school in Polk County. If received, funds would also work to bring chess into the after-school pro-gram.
Organiz-ers welcome anyone with an inter-est in helping either financially or as a volunteer to contact Parsons or other volunteers. The next big event will be a youth chess tournament held in Stearns Gym from 2-6 p.m. in conjunction with the Fabulous Fourth event in Columbus. The Kiwanis Club of Tryon will provide cash prizes for the winners in each of four divisions. Registration is limited to the first 24 qualifying applicants, and a $1 entry fee is required. Registration will be at the door on the day of the event.
Students at Polk Central Elementary participate in Chess club every Friday. (photo submitted)

routinely posted. On the last day of chess for the spring semester, a training tourney was held with five divisions playing three short games in round-robin style. Many ribbons were handed out, and one young man, who was the highest-ranked undefeated player that day,
received a beautiful glass chess set. To complete the story, Russell Ruff, who began this all, will teach chess this year at Serendipity Kids Camp at Harmon Field where he is a junior counselor.

The Pacolet Area Conservancy and Walnut Creek Preserve invite everyone to an informational presentation about the “Flora and Landscapes of the Southern Mountain Region” on Saturday, June 16 at 10 a.m., to be held at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve. This presentation was originally set for March 24 but was canceled because of an illness in the pre-senter’s family.
Botanist David Campbell, of the UNCC Herbarium, will pres-ent a digital slide show of the flora and landscapes of the southern mountain region, including a few shots of fauna of the region.
Campbell said he is inter-ested in studying the flora in Polk County and hopes to gather data and create herbarium specimens for the UNCC Herbarium. Polk County is poorly represented in the state herbarium, he said; no new data for the county has been added in nearly 50 years. During his quest, he hopes to relocate several rare plants of historic importance that have been docu-mented in the area.
Time and weather permitting, there may also be an interpre-
tive woodland walk around the grounds of Walnut Creek Preserve after the presentation for those who are interested; dress appro-priately. Children and adults are welcome and there is no charge for the event.
To get to Walnut Creek Pre-serve’s Nature Center from the Tryon and Columbus area, take N.C. Hwy. 108 E and turn left onto N.C. Hwy. 9 N toward Lake Lure. Follow Hwy. 9 N for 5 miles and turn right onto McGuinn Road (at the Exxon Station). Go 1 mile to the intersection with Big

Thomas wins edible car contest
Tryon Elementary School held its 2012 Edible Car Contest for the fifth graders on June 4. Shelby Thomas of Tryon (center) created the winning car, constructed the night before the contest from rice cakes, fudge stripe cookies, gummy life savers, french bread, spaghetti and hot tamales. This car was her second creation; the first, made out of a potato, fell apart. Thomas is shown here with her teacher, Mrs. Sharpe (left), and her science teacher, Mrs. Corcoran, who said the winning car went farther than any car has ever gone in the contest.
