‘Done to Death’ – ‘A short experimental evening in crime’ TLT production opens tomorrow at Workshop A little way into the comedy/mystery “Done to Death,” opening Thursday, April 28 at the Tryon Little Theater Workshop, producer Jason Summers walks onto the TV studio set and greets the audience: “It is our pleasure to invite you to join us in a short experimental evening in crime.” It’s an invitation that gives the audience the opportunity to hob-knob with famous (well, they used to be) mystery writers. You’ve got Whitney and Jessica Olive: “Here’s to death, murder, violence and mayhem. But with sophistication.” You’ve got Rodney Duckton: “What I could have done with this in my horror days. Sliding panel here, a groping hand there, a beautiful girl seated at (Continued on page 3)

The usual murder, the interfering detective, and then call everyone into the room and give them the answer. That’s the basis of all murder books.” And finally the youngest of the group, Brad Benedict. As Rodney, the oldest, observes of Brad: “You took what I wrote in the thirties, added a few transistors, undressed a few women and got astoundingly good royalties for a while.” The five of them are to be shipped off to Vulture’s Vault, on a decidedly spooky island in the Caribbean, to blend their writing styles into a wildly successful TV series. There they will be tended to by Gregory, the butler, and Jane, the pretty young maid. Performances are April 28-30 and May 5-7 at 8 p.m., and May 1 and 8 at 3 p.m. at the Workshop, 516 S. Trade Street. For tickets, call 828-859-2466.

Filled to brim with community
Misty breezes and dampened grounds couldn’t threaten my good spirits as I proceeded into gate one at FENCE Saturday, April 23. I came prepared donning a summer dress topped with a floppy white hat I had adorned the night before with violet flowers and a plastic toy horse. I felt the need to be festive for my first experience at a horse race, and festive I was indeed. On hand before many tailgaters drove in, truck beds packed with coolers and spectators, I viewed open fields and hillsides spotted with volunteers ready for the day’s festivities. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I’ve petted a few horses in my lifetime and watched a few seconds of the Kentucky Derby one time on television, but to actually experience the Block House Steeplechase was something completely unique. I had heard mixed reviews. Multiple “horse people” and “nonhorse people” told me I’d love the merriness of it all. Others were convinced it just wasn’t for them and probably wouldn’t be for me either – too many people, lots of partiers and not much excitement if you didn’t know horses. I don’t know horses but even as a person with little horse background I think the last were far off base. Sure, there were crowds of people waiting to cross the track after each race and there were definitely down periods between each race, but the excitement was there. I delighted in seeing young kids squeal in glee when the “horsey” they picked had won a race or when the puppies, or hounds, darted down the field. It was thrilling to see people I knew from around town and visit their tailgate for yet another scrumptious morsel of chicken salad croissants or a cold drink. I even got quite exhilarated the moment the horn sounded signaling the start of another race. I have no clue what makes one horse faster than another, what half of the terms mean related to horses or how in the world to even consider betting on a horse. What I do know, though, is that the 65th anniversary of the Block House Steeplechase was filled to the brim with community and I can’t wait to go back next year. — Samantha Hurst, Editor, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Comments on stories on Bulletin’s website, www.tryondailybulletin.com Us: “Speeding is the leading cause of traffic collisions and driving while impaired is the most deadly and costly crime committed in the United States,” statement by Columbus police officials in the article, “Columbus police get grant for traffic safety equipment.” Dr. Bellows: Wrong. Distracted drivers are the top cause of car accidents in the U.S. today. When the 55-mph National Maximum Speed Limit was repealed, insurance lobbyists and other “safety” activists claimed an additional 6,800 traffic deaths would occur each year. This didn’t happen, and the United States now has the lowest traffic fatality rate in history.
NHTSA also claims that 30 percent of all fatal accidents are “speed related,” meaning at least one vehicle was “assumed” to be exceeding the posted limit. The term “speed related” doesn’t mean caused by speed. It refers to any accident in which one driver is believed to have been traveling above the speed limit. As for accidents actually caused by speeding, research in Florida suggests that number is actually 2.2 percent.

Tryon Fine Arts Center curtain rises to meet annual fund goal The Tryon Fine Arts Center has raised the curtain during the past year on performances, educational programs and social events while keeping rental fees for local arts organizations and ticket prices at a minimum. Grants, donations and volunteers have made this possible. One such volunteer is helping the center encourage continuing donations to the center by using her artistic talents. Artist Sophia Dow has constructed a small theater to reflect how far the curtain needs to rise to meet TFAC’s Annual Fund goal. All you need to do is insert an annual fund envelope, a check, some bills or even change. Stop by the Tryon Fine Arts Center lobby to make the curtain rise – how long will it take? Any amount is appreciated. Tryon Fine Arts Center is located at 34 Melrose Avenue in downtown Tryon. Call 828-859-8322 or visit tryonarts.org for information about programs, events and volunteering. – article submitted

Lynn Sprague educates Lions on importance of Polk’s agriculture Members say being a Lion means learning about your community and its needs. There was a lot of learning going on at a recent meeting of the Columbus club. Lynn Sprague spoke to the group about all that has happened in the relatively short time since he became Polk County’s director of agricultural economic development. His job was made possible by the county’s Farmland Protection Plan and Polk was the first county in the state to create this type of full time, paid position. Now other counties are seeing Polk’s success and following the county’s lead. The goals of his office are to preserve farmlands (which means keeping them profitable), to enhance existing farm operations, to create new agricultural businesses and to reconnect Polk’s citizens with their rural roots. Sprague told the Lions that he found the community to be very
enthusiastic in their support of these goals. The acquisition of the former Mill Spring School to serve as the county’s agricultural development center has been one of the most visible accomplishments. The building that had once been the focal point of the community had been virtually unused for the past 18 years. Although the building needed many repairs, the building inspector told Sprague the school was one of the strongest structures in Polk County. With the help of more than 600 volunteers and small grants totaling approximately $200,000, improvements valued at more than $1 million have been completed. Sprague has had groups of 50 or more students working during their spring breaks and has also had Americorp members assisting in the renovation. The building not only houses Sprague’s office but
offers space to artists and small businesses for a small rental fee. These fees help pay for the building’s utilities. Future plans include renovating the auditorium for community use and installing a commercial kitchen. Sprague is also proud of Polk County’s farmer’s markets. The Columbus market originally had 10 - 12 vendors but has recently grown to 52. The direct sales at county markets is about $600,000 a year, with indirect sales (those made by vendors who meet customers at the market and later sell from their farms) bringing the markets’ worth up to $1 million. Sprague said Polk’s citizens are remembering that fresher is better. Sprague concluded by telling the Lions that there are many more challenges to be met and a multitude of volunteer opportunities. “Agriculture is the reason our community is here,” he
Lynn Sprague
said. “Keeping that character is worth a lot.” The Columbus Lions meet on the first and third Thursday evenings at Calvert’s Restaurant in Columbus and they encourage anyone interested in community service to visit with them.

Flintknapping. (photo submitted)
Flintknapping workshop offered at Tryon Arts and Crafts Tryon Arts and Crafts School will host its first flintknapping weekend workshop with instructor Bill Mosseller. The two-day workshop will be held on Saturday, May 14 and Sunday, May 15 at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road. Students will learn about the properties of this craft as they create arrowheads from a variety of stone. Mosseller has been knapping for more than 10 years and is proficient in making spear and arrowheads. Knapping is the art of shaping flint, chert, obsidian or other stone through a reduction process to produce items such as arrow or spear heads, stone tools and strikers for flintlock firearms. Flintknapping, or knapping, is done in a variety of ways depending on the purpose of the final product. Early knappers would have used simple hammers made of wood or antler to shape stone tools. Knappers, both ancient and modern, generally begin knapping a piece of stone with direct percussion. Direct percussion is accomplished by
Bill Mosseller
directly striking the stone which is to be made into a projectile point with a tool, such as a hammerstone or antler billet, to remove large flakes. Stone tools can then be further refined using wood, bone and antler tools to perform pressure flaking. Mosseller is an avid Indian artifact collector, which certainly influenced his interest in knapping. He lives in Lynn, where he knaps arrowheads for personal use and satisfaction as well as gifts. He lectures on arrowheads and artifacts and his collection has been viewed throughout the region. His work (Continued on page 21)

Nature-inspired mixed media: James G. Greene by Robin A. Edgar
Viewing James G. Greene’s art, it is hard not to think about nature — and vice versa. His mixed media pieces, which often combine feathers, leather and wood among other items, are on display until May 7 in the Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS) show in Gallery One at the Tryon Fine Arts Center, 34 Melrose Avenue. “I find it exciting and interesting to use what nature created and to combine them with wood,” said Greene, who adds that his greatest inspiration comes from the spiritual influence of the Baha’i faith, which espouses that acquiring the sciences and arts is the greatest glory of mankind. A resident of Greer, S.C., for the past 12 years, Greene grew up in Pittsburgh, Penn., and graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh. He served in Viet Nam. Greene married Janet, his wife of 35 years, in Maui, Hawaii. The couple moved to Key West, Fla., where they raised their
children, Anisa, Khalil and Lua. There, Greene worked as a jeweler and goldsmith for 15 years. Featuring his own line of jewelry, Greene became known for his original designs for special order pieces. His conch pearl pendant was featured in “Gems & Gemology,” a journal of the Gemological Institute of America, and his black pearl pendant was displayed in an Invitational Japanese International Jewelry Show. In addition to his jewelry work, Greene pursued his lifelong love of sculpture. “I have been interested in sculpture since I was a teenager and began sculpting in high school,” Greene said. Since moving to the area, Greene has devoted his creative energy to working with various art mediums, including oil and acrylic paintings, reverse glass painting and mixed media sculptures. The wood he uses for his sculptures (Continued on page 23)

comes from the various places he has lived, such as woman’s tongue and lignumvitae from Key West, monkey pod from Hawaii and cedar and bamboo from the upstate of South Carolina. A stroke Greene suffered in 2004 left him with aphasia, a language problem, along with processing issues. Although it may take him longer, he said he always seems to figure out what he needs to do to make his art, which has developed a distinctive abstract style. “I love creating my art. It is my passion and a spiritual creation of expression. I believe the Baha’i writings that state ‘work done in the spirit of service is worship’ and the success lies in me being happy with what I am creating,” said Greene. After deciding to join Tryon Painters and Sculptors in 2010, Greene said he fell in love with all the artists and patrons of the Tryon Fine Arts Center and the great activities and programs it offers. It seems to be a hub of diverse cultural activities for the community, he said. “Creating art is, without doubt, a blessing and joy to be immersed in without restraints,” says Greene, whose advice to aspiring artists is, “Be unrestrained as the wind.” For more information about James G. Greene and his work, visit www.jggreeneart.com. For more information about Tryon Painters and Sculptors, go to www.tryonpaintersandsculptors.com.

Greenville Foothills Pony Club Hunter Pace March 13 results Green Creek Hounds opened up their facility to Greenville Foothills Pony Club for another hunter pace event. Stephanie Wood and Carolyn Culbertson worked hand in hand putting on an active event with homemade lunch, silent auction, the pony clubbers cleaning tack for a small fee and a large staff of helpers.

It allowed for the field hunters to jump various obstacles and a little bit longer ride.

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOR NAME: Loretta Pack OCCUPATION & TITLE: RN, MSN, Patient Care Nurse Navigator for St. Luke’s Hospital and Rosenberg Bone & Joint SO WHAT DO YOU DO?: I serve as a resource for the staff of St. Luke’s Hospital and as a liaison for the patient and family. I streamline communication and patient care to Dr. Rosenberg and nursing staff. I also obtain physician orders and ensure protocols and clinical paths are followed appropriately for consistently successful orthopaedic outcomes. I also use my training in education to lead a Pre-Surgery Joint Camp to help prepare patients for and understand everything they need to know about hip or knee surgery. I know firsthand—my husband Alvin was one of Dr. Rosenberg’s early patients for direct anterior hip replacement surgery using “The Table.” FAVORITE PART OF YOUR JOB: That has to be the patients. This is a great job and I get to interact daily with some of the nicest people I have ever met. SPOUSE: Alvin, owner of Green Creek Winery and creator of the first ever, internationally known Red Chardonnay, Chardonnay Rosso PET I’D LIKE TO OWN: None other than the one I have! I adore our 10-year-old Golden Retriever, Madelyn Pack. All our pets have been terrific.
FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME: “To Kill a Mockingbird” BOOKS ON NIGHT STAND: American Journal of Nursing, UC Berkeley Wellness Newsletter and a Stephen King novel IF I COULD ONLY EAT THREE FOODS FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE THEY WOULD BE: Pasta, pasta, pasta! THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS: Doing what you like CHARITY OF CHOICE: Relay for Life. As this year’s Relay captain for St. Luke’s Hospital, my co-workers have really done an amazing job fundraising this year. They have sold lemonade, leis, spaghetti, hot dogs, desserts, ice cream and waffles. Their generosity and support have been terrific. Relay for Life is personally and professionally very important to me. I hope everyone comes out for this event on Friday, April 29. ONE THING YOU WISH EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT ST. LUKE’S HOSPITAL: Our community is so fortunate to have a hospital. Without St. Luke’s, we would be in such a bind if we were sick or injured. I hope everyone knows how lucky we are to have this gem right here in our back yards.
Want to be featured here? E-mail news@tryondailybulletin.com. Letter to the Editor
Country in bad shape To the Editor: As I sit here writing this letter and doing a little multitasking by watching the news on TV at the same time, I notice unemployment figures for this week have dropped from 385,000 to 382,000 over the past week or a decrease of 3,000. The government wants you to believe they have put 3,000 people back to work but wait. These are not changes in people that have gone back to work but a decrease in the number of people drawing unemployment benefits.
Out of those 3,000 people, how many have just run out of benefits and no longer drawing any money and how many have died and how many are young people who can’t find a job and gave up and moved back in with mom and dad? This presents another scenario. Children today are brilliant little buggers thanks to our teachers but as intelligent as they are a lot of them lack one little attribute and that is common sense. So many have reached that age where they think they know it all and they are going to show us old fuddy-duddies how it’s done. So, they succumb to peer-pressure and want to outdo their buddy they just graduated with and go out and buy a
quarter-million dollar home on a $2,000 a month salary and then start maxing out credit cards to pay for their Lexus they can’t afford to buy. Then at meal times they decide it would be nice to drop by and see how mom and dad are getting along or in reality, what’s for dinner? They get up in the morning and “shine, shave, shower and shampoo…” and plan itinerary for the day but no planning for the future ever crosses their mind. They can’t find a good job anywhere because the good jobs have long gone overseas. You can possibly find a pretty good job but the commute to Beijing, China is horrendous not to mention transportation costs
would be astronomical. Even China is not going to pay that kind of salary. Your best bet would be to set up a lemonade stand at the local farmer’s market. It’s the economy people. I’m not criticizing lawyers when I say this because lawyers are a necessity but one of our biggest problems is too many lawyers in Congress and not enough people running the government with any business acumen. It’s a shell game run by a bunch of con men. Maybe we need a few Donald Trumps in Washington who know how to meet a budget. I don’t know but I don’t think it could get any worse. What we’ve got now is a bunch of greedy fat-cats work(Continued on page 27)

In honor of National Healthcare Access Personnel Week, St. Luke’s Hospital acknowledged its goodwill ambassadors who are the face for the hospital.
