Tryon Riding & Hunt Club offers to donate Morris to TryonTown looking into repair, administrative costsby Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon could soon own its symbol, the wooden statue of Morris the Horse, which has been located downtown since 1928.

The Tryon Riding & Hunt Club (TR&HC), which owns Morris, has offered to donate the statue to the town.

Tryon Town Council dis-cussed the offer Feb. 15.

“The board of directors of the Tryon Riding & Hunt Club voted at their recent meeting on Jan. 31, 2011 to donate the statue of Morris the Horse to the Town of Tryon,” said TR&HC President Charles Lingerfelt III in a letter to the town. “This fixture has been part of the TR&HC history since it was built for the club in 1928 and has subsequently become a Morris the Horse, the iconic wooden figure at the corner of N. Trade and Pacolet streets in Tryon, is showing

his age. Paint is peeling on his ears, head, legs and other areas. Tryon Riding & Hunt Club has offered to donate Morris to the Town of Tryon, whose symbol he has been since 1928. (photo by Leah Justice)

Abril is scheduled to appear in Hen-derson County court on March 14 for two counts of felony probation violation.

Abril, 49, has been on probation since November 2008 after pleading guilty to

two counts of solicitation to take indecent liberties with a minor. After the felony conviction, Abril pled guilty to driving while impaired (DWI) and was convicted of a probation violation for the offense.

Abril’s probation is being handled by the North Carolina Division of Commu-nity Corrections in Henderson County.

According to court records, Abril currently has an outstanding balance of $210 for probation supervision and is also behind in payments for a sex-offender-

symbol for Tryon.”The TR&HC has asked that

given its history, the club re-serve the right to create a replica of Morris at the Green Creek Equestrian Park in the future. The club also requests first rights to Morris’ schedule for advertising TR&HC events on the statue.

Tryon Town Manager Justin Hembree said there will be some costs associated with taking own-ership of the statue. He said par-ticipants at recent business round table meetings have discussed the statue’s need of a paint job. They have also said the town should take ownership since Morris is a symbol of the town.

Hembree also said there will be ongoing administrative costs for scheduling advertising ban-ners that appear on Morris.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples said he would like to know the costs of restoration of the statue and suggested creating a donation

fund so the community can con-tribute to the statue’s restoration.

Hembree said a couple of cost estimates for a brand new Morris have been developed and other people are looking into what it would cost for repairs. Hembree says he plans to present cost estimates to council next month as well as recommendations on how the town would manage the advertising.

The original Morris was de-signed by Eleanor Vance as a giant version of one of the most popular toys made by the Tryon Toy-Makers and Wood-Carvers, which was owned by Vance and Charlotte Yale. Morris the statue was built for the TR&HC in 1928.

The original Morris was de-stroyed in a fire and four other statues based on Morris’ original design have been built since. Tryon residents named the statue “Morris.”

“We know that Morris will be in good hands with this dona-tion,” said Lingerfelt’s letter.

specific treatment program. Abril was suspended from the program for not paying the fees and has not paid his probation supervision fees since June 3, 2010.

Abril has an outstanding bal-ance of $665 for the sex offender treatment program and was sus-pended in December 2010. Court records say Abril must pay the balance in full in order to be re-instated into the program. Abril also has an outstanding electronic monitoring fee of $90.

Abril has been in and out of court since he was a candidate for Polk County Sheriff in 2006. He was originally charged in August 2006 with five counts of first-degree statutory rape and one count of first-degree sexual of-fense that stemmed from incidents in 1988 and 1989 involving girls who were 10 and 11 years old at the time. Abril was a police officer with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office at the time of the offenses in 1988 and 1989. He was serving as Columbus Police Chief when he was charged in 2006.

Abril was elected Polk County

sheriff in November 2006. In November 2008, Abril pled guilty to two counts of solicitation to take indecent liberties with a mi-nor, both felonies. Conditions of Abril’s sentencing included that he surrender his law enforcement certification, that he spend five years on probation, three of which were supervised, and that he serve 120 days of house arrest. Abril was not required to register as a sex offender. He resigned as sher-iff the day before he pled guilty.

While on supervised proba-tion, Abril was arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office in October 2009 for driving while impaired along U.S. 176 in Tryon. He was also originally charged with misdemeanor larceny for allegedly stealing alcohol from Elmo’s Pub & Grill, but those charges were dropped.

Abril was placed on probation and community service for the DWI as well as having his driver’s li-cense revoked for a year. Abril was placed on electronic monitoring for 30 days for violating his probation.

Abril’s original sentence for solicitation to take indecent liber-ties with a minor included up to two years in prison.

GOP gets zoning permit for new building on same siteBuilding will allow rear access, GOP board saysby Leah Justice

A new Polk County Re-publican Headquarters will be constructed on the same site, with officials hoping for con-struction to be-gin within four months.

The Town of Columbus recently ap-proved a zon-ing permit for the new con-struction.

GOP officials say they have set up a committee to work with nearby property owners to select the most appropriate location for the building on the site to ensure that all businesses have access to the rear of their

buildings.“We are going to do what-

ever we can to make sure ev-erybody has access to their properties. We want to get ideas from businesses and make it work out for everybody,” Polk

R e p u b l i c a n chair Michael Gage said.

Last year, neighboring b u s i n e s s e s Tile Special-ties and The B r i c k e x -pressed inter-est in purchas-ing the lot , with an offer of $110,000.

The Brick’s portion of the total was originally discussed at $30,000, but no contract to purchase was submitted.

Local Republican officials decided that the total offer

was not going to be enough to purchase an alternate property, so Tile Specialties’ offer was declined. The GOP was still interested in selling the rear portion of the lot to The Brick and sent a letter recently giving the restaurant until Feb. 25 to make an official offer, but no contract was submitted.

The Republican Headquar-ters building, located on Peak

Street in Columbus, was con-demned after the roof collapsed following a heavy snow in December 2009. The building was torn down last year. Local GOP officials offered to sell the lot to the town to use for park-ing for $150,000, but the town declined.

The building was originally built to house the town’s post office in the 1950s-1960s. It was constructed close to the street and blocked a former town alley.

• GOP(Continued from page 6)

Polk Republicans have a couple of options on where to locate the new building, includ-ing moving it farther back and to the right on the property than the original building to provide more parking, which could block access to the rear of approximately five businesses. If the new building blocks the current access, the former alley will be re-opened, Gage said.

The new building is planned to be a metal building that can be constructed in about three

months. The front of the build-ing will have to meet town ordinances, which do not allow steel fronts, so GOP officials plan on creating a facade that matches other town buildings.

Gage said within a few weeks, an engineer should be selected to design the building.

The Polk Republican Par-ty has a building committee, which Gage says is very dedi-cated to selecting local contrac-tors and sub-contractors for the project.

as I write this we are fast approaching the last Sunday in epiphany (transfiguration Sunday) and anticipate ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. In the history of Christianity the season of Lent is the faint echo of a long period of preparation and fasting prior to baptism and admission into the community of Christ during the earliest days of the Church.Lent has gone through a number of theological and traditional manifestations over the centuries in Roman Catholic and anglican churches, while most of the post-reformation Protestant churches give a mere nod to Lent, if it is acknowledged

at all. however, the spirit of Lent is important to all Christians, even those whose particular church tradition does not follow the liturgical year.as it was in the earliest years of the Church, so it should be now.

as smoking, drinking, overeating and other bad habits as a means of attaining some sort of holiness before God prior to celebrating the resurrection. however, that superficial understanding of the season of Lent often leaves us empty and hopeless as we fail year after year to measure up to our own good intentions.if i may, please allow me to make a suggestion. no matter what your Christian religious tradition, try to think of Lent as an opportunity for growth and not as a deprivation. During this upcoming season of Lent (march 9-April 23) take on a new way of being and thinking. For instance, rather than simply choosing to give up gossiping or being critical of one’s neighbors, choose

to find the good in others and offer that new habit as a hospice volunteer (call 828-894-7000); rather than trying to simply give up chocolate (or alcohol, meat, etc) choose to take on a meals on Wheels route for a year (call 828-894-0001). The point is that rather than seeing our spiritual disciplines as something onerous and negative to find in them something positive, for ourselves and to the benefit of others.in the end, our choice for a positive discipline will better prepare us for the eternal benefits of the Resurrection in which we know that God redeems every sacrifice offered in faith and makes of it something good, even if that good is often beyond our human perception and understanding.

Landrum baseball fans know all about corn. It’s not the crop they know about, however – it’s the pitchers.

Like his brothers Justin and Jared before him, Joseph Corn took the mound on Tuesday night in the Cardinals’ first game of the season and pitched a gem.

The senior threw a complete game in Landrum’s 4-1 victory over Woodruff and struck out nine in the process.

“That was huge,” head coach Ray McCallister said. “That’s what seniors are supposed to do.”

Corn pitched out of two jams to solidify the Cardinals’ victory. In the fifth inning, the Wolverines took their best shot at Corn. With

two outs, Woodruff outfielder Chris Rutter singled. Pitcher Ryan Perkins followed with a single. Corn then walked Rhett Nelson. With the Wolverines knocking on the door, Corn pulled out his best stuff and fanned Bryan Arnold on three straight pitches to end the inning.

“I was pretty pumped (after that),” Corn said.

Energized, he pitched through a 1-2-3 sixth inning. The Wolver-ines, however, weren’t finished yet.

Pinch hitter Jacob Condra was patient at the plate and drew a walk to start the seventh inning for Woodruff. Corn struck out Jake Smith, but Rutter followed with a double. Perkins then

drove the ball to deep center. Condra scored on the drive, but Landrum centerfielder Landon Rhoden fired the ball to home plate in time for Landrum catcher Thomas Rabatie to tag out Rutter at home plate. Corn ended the game getting Nelson to line out to Hunter Pruitt at second base.

“(Corn) did a great job and had great defense behind him tonight,” Woodruff coach Will Lanford said. “That was the dif-ference tonight.”

In the preseason, McCallister wasn’t sure what kind of an of-fense the Cardinals would have when they finally took the field. That question mark remained after Tuesday night, but he liked what he saw.

“We’re still trying to find an identity offensively,” he said. “We have some big hitters.”

Landrum scored its first three runs in the first inning. Shortstop Jon Humphries hit a triple to get things started with one out. Corn drove him in on a groundout to second base. Rabatie followed with a single. Gus Wofford struck out, but reached first on a pass ball. Pruitt followed with a two-RBI double. Landrum’s final run came in the sixth inning. Wofford doubled to bring home Rabatie.

The Wolverines swept the Cardinals in four games last sea-son so McCallister was especially happy with this win.

“It’s always great to start off the season with a win,” he said.

Lady Wolverines softball takes season opener 7-4by Daniel Hecht

While it is certainly true that one inning does not a season make, if the first inning of Tues-day’s softball season opener is any indication of how things are going to go this year, the rest of the Western Highlands conference may be in for a bit of a bumpy ride.

The Lady Wolverines came out of the box strong against the visitors from North Bun-combe High. All-State junior pitcher Jamie Hrobak mowed down three of the first four Lady Hawk batters she faced, en route to a dominating three-hit, 16-strikeout complete game performance, earning her 30th career victory for Polk County.

Polk’s offense touched up the Lady Hawks for five runs in the bottom of the first, with hits by Hrobak and Cassie Couch capped by a booming three-run shot over the center field fence by Kara Garvin, giving the Polk

squad a 5-0 lead at the end of the first.

Polk added two more runs in the second inning on a blistering RBI double by junior catcher Alyssa Montgomery that split the gap in left center field, scor-ing Amber Lynch from second base. Montgomery scored later in the inning on a sacrifice by Couch to make it 7-0 after two.

Although North Buncombe managed to eke out three runs in the top of the third, courtesy of some sloppy two-out defensive play by the Lady Wolverines and a wild pitch by Hrobak, it was too little, too late for the overmatched visitors from Weaverville.

The Lady Wolverines travel to Asheville today, Thursday, March 3, to take on a tough Lady Cougars squad that defeat-ed East Henderson Tuesday by a score of 7-1, and then returns home to host East Henderson on Friday, March 4.

Polk’s Jamie Hrobak (#22) fanned 16 in earning her 30th career victory Tuesday versus the Lady Hawks of N. Buncombe. (photo by Dan Hecht)

“Explore the Arts” series ex-plores Irish literature, from the ancient legends of the faeries and banshees to the authors and playwrights of modern Ireland, on Sunday, March 6 at 3 p.m. on the Veh Family Stage.

Personifying a mysterious Druid, Dr. Dennis P. Sommers will provide a peek into the tradi-tions of his homeland.

The author of six books, Dr. Sommers holds a doctoral degree in theology with a particular interest in early Irish monaster-ies and the evolution of Irish literature.

He has been director of the Institute of Irish History and Culture’s International Summer School at Trinity College, Dublin since 1997.

In Ireland he is an elected member of the United Arts Club of Dublin and a recipient of the Kilkenny Cultural Award. In America he is an elected member of the National Social Science Honor Society.

Dr. Sommers lectures at uni-versities, cultural and historical societies in Europe and the Unit-ed States, and has developed a one-man play of Irish mythology, literary readings, and recitations.

TFAC explores myths, legends behind Irish verse

Locally he is currently develop-ing a mountaintop retreat and library near Chimney Rock, N.C.

In its second year, TFAC’s “Explore the Arts” is a series for adult and youth designed to pique curiosity and creativity and explore diversity in the arts.

Tickets are available at the door and light refreshments will be served at the intermis-sion and after the performance. A book signing will follow the presentation.

Carolina Camera Club meets Jan. 11The next meeting of the Caro-

lina Camera Club will be on Tuesday, Jan. 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Isothermal Community Col-lege in Columbus.

Join the club for a presentation titled “Digital After Dark” pre-sented by Kevin Adams. Adams has been teaching and leading photo tours in North Carolina since the early 1990s and has produced several books that have become valuable tools to many local photographers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Today’s digital cameras give us the ability to make images that we could not have dreamed of back in the film days. Nowhere is this truer than with night pho-

tography. Now we can literally shoot for the stars.

For those who associate night photography only with subjects like fireworks, cityscapes, and street scenes, you’re in for a surprise. In this eye-opening presentation, Kevin will share his techniques for photographing a variety of nighttime subjects, from the ordinary to the “Wow, I never would have thought of that!”

Attendees are advised to use caution before attending this presentation, however. Once you see all the exciting things you can do with your camera at night, you might be losing a lot of sleep from then on.

Rhyme orReason

by Rodney Gibson

Taking on the federal budget, taxes and politics may be a form of quackery in itself, but I’ll have to accept that responsibility with the territory of writing this monthly column.

I got a surprising amount of feedback from the first “Quackery” column; mostly positive. However, some were, to put it simply, “quack, quack, quack.” People do not let go of their quack-ery easily, es-pecially when it is shrouded in their belief systems.

That’s why this month’s subject is likely to challenge your belief systems. It might make you quack a lot, but don’t feel lonely if you do. We’re all right there with you. Some of you may be able to relate to the concept of “bank-ruptcy” and how organizations function and operate when they find themselves in this position.

I have been in the fortunate position (because of the lessons learned) of running a manufac-turing business that was essen-tially bankrupt for four years (not the only time I’ve experi-enced this situation).

Decision-making and pri-oritization are profoundly af-fected by the realities of an organization that finds itself in bankruptcy.

Most people who haven’t lived this reality think that it’s all about cutting costs, but it is much more than that. The real reason you work so hard to cut unnecessary costs is so that you can invest in product development, sales and marketing. No matter what the “quacks” say, you can’t “cut” your way to prosperity.

Your purpose in the bankrupt-cy mode is to save the business and create a sustainable platform for a successful future. You must get to the point where you can sustain investment or your

competitors will take you out. Governance is similar to running a bankrupt company, except that it is a permanent condition.

In a global economy, govern-ments must compete with one another to protect the economic interests of their citizens. The U.S. economy is “the” target of every country in the world as well as many of our own corporations. The welfare and

quality of life f o r m i d d l e -class America is under con-stant at tack. American busi-nesses cannot

hope to successfully compete without a responsive and vi-sionary government. But we are saddled with right-wing and left-wing ideologists whose concepts on governance, to put it succinctly, are – quack, quack, quack.

Both have sold out the middle class while supporting entitle-ments to the wealthy and the proverbial “safety net” profes-sionals. If we continue to govern like we have since the 80s, mid-dle-class America will continue to lose. A cut, cut and cut men-tality without an effective plan and effort to invest will continue to be a formula for disaster just like it is for a bankrupt company. Being a city volunteer, council-man and mayor for a period of more than 20 years teaches you the subtle and not so subtle les-sons of poor governance.

When I began that adventure, the city was in poor financial condition and had a history of default that began in the 1960s.

Even worse, no investments in the future were being made. The infrastructure was crum-bling and deterioration hindered business investment and growth.

The entire focus was on decreasing taxes or fees, not on investing in the future. Fortunately, there were enough people in the community with

vision willing to endure a period of painful investment.

Unfortunately, not all the people were able to let loose of their quackery. The price of a better future was more taxes and fees in certain areas. It was done prudently, deliberately and slowly through consensus.

So, where is the quackery in the federal budget process? The quackery is in the sudden “we got to balance the budget now” mentality as well as the insane “shut the government down” nonsense.

The idea that social security, Medicare and Medicaid are the cause of the “crisis” is just more “quackery” from the “wing nuts.” The “budget crisis” is the result of 30 years of a weaken-ing economy caused by a lack of investment in our economic infrastructure and tax policies that were and are anti-middle class (quack, quack, quack). It manifested itself in a big way during the great recession.

The deficit is large but a growing and healthy economy will reduce it faster than cost cutting ever could. Some taxes will have to increase regardless of the howling from those at both ends of the economic spectrum (spoiled by their “entitlements”).

However, cutting ineffective program expenditures is also needed so that we can afford to invest money in effective programs. A simple benefit-cost analysis combined with vision and intelligence would go far towards targeting the appropri-ate changes. Unfortunately, we have to pay for decades of poor governance and the investment will be painful.

After all, we are in the middle of a worldwide economic war. Being we are in this war it seems to me that knee-jerk political opportunism (quack! quack! quack!) should be punished, not rewarded.

Rodney Gibson is the former mayor of Saluda.

Carson offers painting workshop on getting perspective in March

Saluda artist Jim Carson will offer an oil or acrylic paint-ing workshop Friday - Sunday, March 11 - 13, titled “Getting Perspective Right in Order to Paint Fast and Loose.”

Carson will be joined by Chris Sherry, an AIA architect from At-lanta, where he teaches perspec-tive at Johns Creek Art Center and Quinlan Visual Art Center.

Carson says learning per-spective is critical for painting loose, because it provides the confidence to be bold with your strokes.

Sherry will conduct the first day of the workshop, which will be all drawing, and Carson will teach the application of these drawing skills in the last two days.

The workshop will be held in Carson’s studio, located above the Saluda Grade Café, in Saluda.

Carson will do daily demon-strations on Saturday and Sunday, and there will be a critique of the day’s work at the end of each day, by both Carson and Sherry.

The cost of the workshop

includes lunch each day, catered by the Saluda Grade Café.

The full 2011 Jim Carson workshop schedule is:

Feb. 24 - 26 “Painting Fast and Loose,” Lake Wales, Fla.

March 11 - 13 “Getting Per-spective Right,” Saluda.

May 26 - 28 “Painting Fast and Loose,” Cashiers, N.C.

June 2 - 4 “Painting Fast and Loose,” Saluda.

Oct. 13 - 15 “Color/Getting it Right,” Cashiers, N.C.

Oct. 27 - 29 “Color/Getting it Right,” Saluda.

For more information, contact Carson at 828-749-3702, visit www.jimcarson.net or email [email protected].
