The Carolina Carriage Club will hold its Dressage and Pleasure Driving Show Friday, Sept. 30 - Sunday, Oct. 2 at Harmon Field in Tryon. Spectators are welcome.

There is no fee to enter and the contest is open to all. Judge Craig Kellogg of Southern Pines, N.C., will likely follow tradition and invite audience participation to judge the popular Carriage Dog Class. Ponies, any equine 50 inches (Continued on page 3)

Serving Polk County and Upper Spartanburg and Greenville Counties
The motion claims that the SBI obtained cell phone records without a search warrant, which is in violation of McGraw’s right not to incriminate himself. On Feb. 22, 2011, SBI Special (Continued on page 5)

Tryon resident’s wish could be granted after 60 years DOT takes first steps toward paving Adam Millis Road by Leah Justice
Tryon resident Howard Greene has been waiting for a road near his home to be paved for a long time – six decades, to be exact. Greene recently told N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) officials that he has been trying to get Adam Millis Road paved for 60 years. Last year, Greene, who is in his 90s, said a DOT representative gave him the impression that it would be paved within the next year and it is still not paved. “I’d like to see that done where I can ride on it one time,” Greene said. DOT officials, the Polk County Board of Commissioners and the public met on Sept. 15 to discuss the state’s 2012 secondary road plan. DOT engineer Joel Setzer said
the state is currently working on obtaining rights of way for the road paving. Because of unknown rightsof-way issues, DOT officials did not give a timeframe for when the road could be paved. Setzer asked for Greene’s information so the state can advise him of the progress of the work. Greene said he has sent numerous petitions to pave Adam Millis Road, an exit route off Hidden Hill Road in Tryon, over the past several decades. “The dust in the summer covers everyone’s house,” said Greene. The gravel road can be accessed from Hidden Hill Road and Horseshoe Curve Road off U.S. 176 in Tryon. Hidden Hill Road resident Mike Kayser also spoke at the DOT meeting saying there are not only about 13 families who use the road, but it gives a second entrance for emergencies to the steep hilltop.

I never gave my permission to procure my aforedescribed cell phone records….” The cell phone records the defense is asking to be excluded from evidence include those between McCraw and Mary Beth Fisher. In affidavits submitted by the state in the case, text messages on Feb. 17 between McGraw and Fisher indicated a relationship between McGraw and Fisher. “While I may not deserve you too. Will you really be there on Sunday for me to call?” McGraw said in a message. Another message from McGraw to Fisher read, “I know you love me and

Agent R.V. Williams executed an “emergency information request” to Cellco Partnership, doing business as Verizon Wireless, regarding McGraw’s phone, the motion said. The request sought information on incoming calls, text message activity and text message content, according to the motion. The motion said “That Special Agent Williams ‘certified’ in all of the ‘Emergency Information Requests’ that ‘there is an immediate danger of death or serious physical injury to a person requiring that the information below be provided without waiting for a court order.’”
The motion continues, “That the certification of the Special Agent Williams was an apparent misstatement of the facts, no apparent risk of immediate death or serious physical injury existed. This was a transparent attempt by the SBI to avoid attempting to lawfully procure the requested items by search warrant. That the state failed to produce any inventory of information received pursuant to these ‘emergency information requests.’” McGraw also filed an affidavit stating that he was the contract owner of two cell phone numbers and “I had a reasonable expectation of privacy in my subscriber information, cell site location,

Many communities, parents and churches in recent years have reevaluated their choice of Halloween activities. As Christians, we make that very personal choice according to our knowledge of the holiday’s history, our knowledge of the Holy Scriptures and our personal convictions. I hope the following information will help you decide what is right for you and your family. About 2,000 years ago in ancient Gaul (what is now Northern France, Ireland and the United Kingdom), Nov. 1 was the Celtic New Year. Historians have written of the Druids’ practice Terry Hudson

Baal worship is associated with fire worship. Roman historians said when Roman soldiers were confronted by Druids in battle, they were terrified of Druid pagan practices and that many of the Roman soldiers were riveted in terror. Yes, those were the same fierce sort of soldiers who crucified Jesus Christ. In the eighth century, Rome had become influ-

It is the opinion of most historians that the church was attempting to evangelize and redirect the popular pagan practices toward a Christ honoring holiday. By the 1930s, All Hallows Eve, or Halloween, was commonly celebrated in America as a secular community celebration centered on children and parties. The remaining Halloween customs that originated with occult pagan practices are: spirits of the dead, ghosts and carving pumpkins with scary faces lit by a candle. These carved pumpkins
originally were supposed to ward off evil or those looking for a sacrifice. Costumes can be traced back to Druid practices of dancing around a bonfire wearing masks to scare off evil spirits. Wiccans still value Oct. 31 as an important religious day. Those practicing witchcraft have been known to attempt to use black cats as a vehicle to house a familiar spirit. Of course, there is much more historical information available. The best resource I have found on the topic is "The Encyclopedia of Religion."

Final 2011 Tryon Gallery Trot Oct. 8 to feature two new art spots Two new establishments will join in the final “Tryon Gallery Trot” for this year on Saturday, Oct. 8 from 5 – 8 p.m. Bravo MarketPlace joins the Trot this month with a group of local artists on display: Diana Gurri, Bob Neely, Linda Hudgins, Mara and Ford Smith and Jim Shackelford. Bravo MarketPlace and Thompson Landscaping is located at 83 Palmer Street (behind Stott’s Ford). The Ferullo Fine Art Studio will hold its grand opening reception during the Trot. Pat Cole-Ferullo and Dom Ferullo welcome everyone to stop in and enjoy a snack, beverage and peruse the new gallery space located at 140 Pacolet St. The Ferullos are now showing watercolors and acrylics by Pat and mixed media
and wood sculpture by Dom. The Upstairs Artspace hosts an opening reception for its first-ever portrait exhibit, entitled “Lines and Lives of the Face.” An added attraction is a small exhibit, “This is not a portrait,” consisting of 25 drawings of the infamous Osama bin Laden made by local artists from a template by James Esber. The Upstairs reception, which is from 5 to 8 p.m., is preceded by the “Walk and Talk” tour of the art at 4 p.m. Green River Gallery will feature the work of Charles Harpt during their late hours. Kiveo displays its continuously changing selection of artwork from local talented artists. Tryon Painters and Sculptors will have a new member’s show that features not only members’
pictures and sculptures but the Claydie’s sculptures as well. Refreshments will be served. Vines and Stuff is featuring new work by local wood turner Jim Mellberg, and a collection of local pottery from Tiffany Gipson and Little Mountain Pottery, including their new redware pieces. Richard Baker will display four new paintings of the Tryon Toymaker Toys. Treats and apple cider will be served during the Trot in Baker’s studio. Kathleen’s Gallery will highlight new work by gallery artists and introduce Douglas Chamberlain’s assemblages, combined architectural salvage with odds and ends of other recycled materials to create wall hangings full of texture and color. Textile artists Bobbie Thomas and Kathie Seat-
ters, jewelry artists Monica Jones and Leah Weitzel and recycled plastic artist David Edgar all will display new work for the Trot. Skyuka Fine Art presents “European Treasures,” a selection of artwork representing years of remarkable finds from local art dealer (via England) John Selleck. Selleck’s surprisingly affordable pieces generally date from the late 19th century to approximately 1930. The opening reception will be during the Trot, and Sellick will be on hand to discuss the work.

better compete with the big boxes! Better yet, our mountains of trash would become molehills. I was discouraged when I read a letter in the Hendersonville Times-News stating that the writer had observed the blue recycle bags being pushed into the same big bins as the trash. Then a column appeared describing how recycles are indeed handled separately and do get re-used. Naturally, I called friend Joyce Hicks at our county “transfer station” and she explained to me how Polk County handles trash and recyclables. She also provided tonnage figures (yes, we recycle TONS of stuff!) that show that we are recycling more each year. We saved about a third again more glass and plastic this year than last, more than 176 tons of glass and nearly 20 tons of plastic. Both aluminum and steel cans are up 32 percent, while mixed paper is up 27 percent from last year. Joyce attributes this improvement to the new mobile recycling pick-up. I am happy that we are re-using more and burying less.

Remember when one drawer of the kitchen cabinet was a repository for pieces of string and other re-usable items in addition to the cooking tools? When I was a boy during the 30s, everyone seemed to have such a drawer. I was always sent to it for almost anything needed that I could fetch. I would scratch around in the drawer for the right rubber band, nail, screw, nut, button, hose washer, paper clip, etc. Anything no longer needed, but still usable, was put into that drawer instead of the trash can. “Waste not, want not!” came long before the “green thing” of today. Everything was merely downgraded progressively until it was used up. A dress shirt soon became an “around the house” shirt, then a “yard work” shirt and finally a painting or “work on the car” shirt, before the buttons were removed (and saved!) to make it a cleaning rag. The toaster and the radio were taken in for repair in those days; now most such things can be replaced with a better model for less money than repairs cost,

The Experimental Station has been used for many studies, including oak ecosystem restoration, hardwood regeneration, fire ecology, growth and yield, forest stand dynamics, invasive plant species, American chestnut restoration, wildlife response to forest management practices and more. It continues to conduct research on current issues that threaten or enhance the health and productivity of forests. Though research is the primary purpose of Bent Creek Experimental Forest, it also functions as a recreational facility, offering trails for hiking, equestrian use and mountain biking, as well as swimming and camping (at Lake Powhatan Recreation Area).

The first of Pacolet Area Conservancy’s (PAC’s) five hikes this fall will be Friday, Sept. 30. Hikers will enjoy a six-mile hike at Bent Creek Experimental Station in Pisgah National Forest. PAC Land Protection Specialist Pam Torlina will lead hikers on the Hardtimes Loop in the northern area of Bent Creek. The hike is easy to moderate and begins by following the course of Bent Creek. After crossing the creek, the trail ascends and intersects with the Mountains-to-Sea Trail for a short while and briefly parallels the Blue Ridge Parkway. Eventually, hikers reach and enter the North Carolina Arboretum through the back fence. Hikers follow the Old Mill Trail back to the Bent Creek Trail and out of the Arboretum. This trail also offers distant views of the Biltmore Estate and the Asheville skyline.
