‘Knock Knock’ opens April 19 at TLT’s Workshop “Knock Knock,” Tryon Little Theater’s last show of the season, has been described as a “knockabout farce” and a “miracle play in the absurdist tradition,” or, as director Frances McCain describes it, “Alice in Wonderland meets The Wizard of Oz.” Written by Jules Feiffer, Pulitzer-Prize-winning cartoonist, playwright, screenwriter and children’s book author and illustrator, the play takes place in a cabin in the woods with two middle-aged bickering recluses (Abe and Cohn). There’s a knock at the door, and in walks Joan of Arc. But that’s not the only odd thing about this play – in fact, the whole thing is absurd. In a good way, of course. Elvin Clark plays Cohn, an unemployed musician. He’s (Continued on page 6)

Polk Democrats honor party members, plan for year by Samantha Hurst
Polk County Democrats gathered Saturday, April 14 for their annual county convention at the Steps to Hope community room. They honored party members and made plans for fundraising, selection of convention delegates and candidate support. “Our county is one of the best organized Democratic parties around,” said acting Democratic Party Chair Margaret Johnson. “I hope you realize that we have a lot of people working behind the scenes to carry on these events and get out the vote and spread the message.” During the county convention, Democrats discussed the upcoming Democratic National Committee (DNC) Convention to be held in Charlotte. Johnson said anyone interested in being a delegate on the national level must go to the district convention in order to be vetted and voted on.
Polk County Democrats honored their own during the county convention Saturday, April 14. Recognized were Jack Jolley, Liston B. Ramsey award; Dr. Mary Bozien, Lifetime Achievement; Jean Pruitt, Volunteer of the Year; and Franklin Smith, Community Service. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

Polk Democratic Party awards Liston B. Ramsey Award Jack Jolley Jack Jolley won the Liston B. Ramsey Award. Polk County Board of Commissioners Chair and Democrat Ray Gasperson said Jack Jolley lived a similar life to that of Liston B. Ramsey of Madison County, N.C. From that rural area, Ramsey was elected in 1960 to the state house, serving 19 terms, including four terms as speaker of the house beginning in 1981. Ramsey’s aim was to get more funding for the often-neglected Western N.C. region. Gasperson said Jolley too was born in mountainous rural North Carolina, went through the public education system and served during World War II. “He, too, saw the best and worst of the human experience. He returned home to serve his community through faith, family and community service,” Gasperson said. “Jack Jolley is also representative of what I experienced growing up… because in the 50s and 60s I was surrounded by men and women like Jolley that came through that wartime experience. They showed me that when you take on a task you don’t stray from the course, you stick with it.” Volunteer of the Year - Jean Pruitt Mary Hardvall announced Jean Pruitt as the 2012 Democrat Volunteer of the Year. She said Pruitt has led the way in bringing in new registered voters this year.

Ramsey, Russell Meirop, Laura Price, Ambrose Mills, Lena Jackson, Katherine Smith and Virginia Walker will also attend the North Carolina Democratic Convention June 16 in Raleigh. Party members also offered their services for committees should representatives in the area need to be replaced. Serving on the prosecutorial district executive committee will be Blake
“Whenever we needed somebody we would call this person and they would say, ‘whatever you need I can do it, I can help,” Hardvall said. “Jean has done an amazing job – she delivered with her team like 87 in the first quarter. This is unheard of for voter registrations in Polk County.” Community Service Award – Franklin Smith Democrat Laura Peek said Franklin Smith, winner of the community service award, lives out his commitment to help and serve others in many ways. “Whether it is bringing people together to solve safety issues in the community or simply to discuss an issue,” Peek said. “He is always busy to help others and strengthen his community.” Lifetime Achievement – Dr. Mary Bosien Dr. Mary Bosien, winner of the lifetime achievement award, moved to the area with her husband in 1954 and worked side by side serving patients. The couple even once skied down the hill from their home during a severe snowstorm to see patients. The two were also highly involved politically. Bosien’s husband died before he could run in a primary in 1980. Bosien, however, carried on the couple’s love of service. “She has been a faithful and active Democrat and a strong supporter of our party,” said Frances Parker.
Arledge and Margaret Johnson; state senatorial committee, Franklin Smith and Benny Smith; and state house committee, Donna Radich and Jim Johnston. Mary Hardvall also discussed the party’s work with Organizing for America, the group supporting Obama’s reelection campaign. People interested in participating with this group will meet the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. at the Meeting Place. Volunteers expect to begin canvasing door-to-door by end of May.

7 p.m. Early voting ends on May 5, which will be the only Saturday of early voting. All polling places will be open on May 5 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The primary will be held at all Polk polling places on Tuesday, May 8. Polk County voters will choose three Democratic commissioners out of six candidates to run against three Republican candidates, all vying for three open seats. The Polk County Democratic primary for the board of commissioners includes the following candidates: • Emily Bartlett • Ritchie “Bubbaâ€? Greene • Ernie Giannini • RenĂŠe McDermott (incumbent) • Rickie McFalls • Russell Mierop Voters will be asked to select three Democratic candidates to face the three Republican candidates, Michael Gage, Keith Holbert and incumbent Tom Pack, in November. In the Democratic primary, only registered Democrats and registered independents who select a Democratic ballot will be allowed to vote for commissioners. As well, registered Republicans and registered independents who select a Republican ballot can vote in Republican races. New residents or residents who have never registered to vote before may also register to vote during the primary at the same time as they cast their votes. The deadline has passed for registered voters to switch parties, however.
Other primary races include the U.S. House of Representative District 11 seat currently held by Heath Shuler (D). Primary voters will choose one for each party from Democratic candidates Tom Hill, Hayden Rogers and Cecil Bothwell and Republican candidates Susan Harris, Jeff Hunt, Mark Meadows, Vance Patterson, Chris Petrella, Kenny West, Ethan Wingfield and Spence Campbell. A primary will also decide the Republican candidate for the N.C. House of Representatives to run against Polk County’s George Alley (D). Candidates on the primary for the N.C. House of Representatives include Trudi Walend (R), who currently holds the seat, and Chris Whitmire (R). The N.C. governor’s seat also has several choices for Democratic, Libertarian and Republican candidates as well as primaries for several other state offices. Voters will also be faced with whether to approve adding Amendment 1 to the state constitution. The amendment would define marriage between one man and one woman as the only legal domestic union in the state. The amendment, proposed to be included in Article 14 of the state constitution, would add a new Section 6 that would read, “Marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state. This section does not prohibit a private party from entering into contracts with another private party; nor does this section prohibit courts from adjudicating the rights of private parties pursuant to such contracts.� (Continued on page 6)

• ‘Knock Knock’
surprises, after all! Directed by Frances McCain, this “kooky” play features a set designed by Greg Wright and constructed by Bob Richardson and his crew of set builders. Rebecca Davis, Jody McPherson, Mimi Alexander and Matthew Alexander took care of set decoration (no small task for this production). Mimi Alexander and Mathew Myhre handle sound and lighting. “Knock Knock” runs for two weekends at the Tryon Little Theater’s Workshop at 516 South Trade Street in Tryon. Performances are April 19-21 and 2628 at 8 p.m., and April 22 and 29 at 3 p.m. The box office is open at the workshop from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

joined by real-life neighbor – and now familiar TLT leading man – Lavin Cuddihee, who plays Abe, the successful retired stockbroker. Together they make the “odd couple” of the play, who haven’t left their cabin in more than 20 years. Nancy Winker of Rutherfordton portrays Joan of Arc. Audiences may remember her from her roles in “Oliver” and “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)”. Chris Bartol, no newcomer to the Tryon stage, plays Helmut Wiseman and a couple of other odd characters who drop in to disrupt Abe and Cohn’s life. Supporting these veteran actors are Joshua Moffitt, Lorin Browning and Becky Oliver. The less said the better about their roles – there need to be some

The ballot question regarding the constitutional amendment will read, “Constitutional amendment to provide that marriage between one man and one woman is the only domestic legal union that shall be valid or recognized in this state.” The choices are “for” and “against.” Voting “for” the amendment will add the new verbiage to the constitution and voting “against” the amendment will leave the constitution as is. Following is the official explanation of the amendment approved by the Constitutional Amendments Publication Commission: “A current North Carolina law enacted in 1996 says that marriage between individuals of the same-sex is not valid in North Carolina. This amendment would make that concept part of the North Carolina Constitution. If this amendment is passed by the voters, then under state law it can only be changed by another vote of the people. “The term ‘domestic legal
union’ used in the amendment is not defined in North Carolina law. “There is debate among legal experts about how this proposed constitutional amendment may impact North Carolina law as it relates to unmarried couples of same or opposite sex and samesex couples legally married in another state, particularly in regard to employment-related benefits for domestic partners; domestic violence laws; child custody and visitation rights; and end-of-life arrangements. The courts will ultimately make those decisions. “The amendment also says that private parties may still enter into contracts creating rights enforceable against each other. This means that unmarried persons, businesses and other private parties may be able to enter into agreements establishing personal rights, responsibilities, or benefits as to each other. The courts will decide the extent to which such contracts can be enforced.” The general election will be held Tuesday, Nov. 6.

Primary voting matters: Grab opportunity to vote early Most years primary elections tend to draw smaller crowds - there may only be one party with multiple candidates for a seat or no amendments to drum up interest on the ballot. In 2008, Polk County accounted for 14,560 registered voters. A total of 5,213, or 35.8 percent, turned out at the polls. In some areas, such as Tryon, the turnout moved closer to 45 percent. But we believe this primary won’t follow the trend of past low voter turnout. There are important seats up for grabs come November, and the primary now could have a lot to do with the direction those elections go. There is also the heavily debated Amendment 1 for voters to cast their decisions upon, and we’re talking about a constitutional amendment, not something to take lightly. Early voting can be done at the Polk County Board of Elections Office, located on the second floor of the Womack building in Columbus Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., as well as at the Green Creek Family Life Center and the Mill Spring Fire Department Monday through Friday from noon until 7 p.m. Early voting ends on Saturday, May 5, with all polling places open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. You will still have the chance to vote on May 8, of course, but unless you just thrill to the feeling of voting on Election Day, which some of us do, you can beat long lines and get your vote cast in a matter of minutes. The primary will be held at all Polk polling places on Tuesday, May 8. — Editorial staff, Tryon Daily Bulletin

Yours Please, find a trash can To the editor: Over the years, I have found that the bridge over Pacolet River, the Howes-Connor Bridge, has been a great place for people to throw Letters beer bottles, cans, to the plastic bottles, and Editor other trash over the side. Unfortunately the glass bottles will break. Outside of littering, some do reach the river, others land on my property. After a few rains, much of this broken glass will probably wind up where the children play in the river at Harmon Field. I could go on about what has been left, but that is not the main point in this letter. Someone in an obvious hurry came down the embankment and used the ground in front of my just trimmed forsythia as a porta-potty, one without doors or walls. Also left was a large pile of partially used white napkins. Absolutely gross!

It Letters is about the loss of to the legitimate debate in our society through Editor repetition of lies, distortions and emotions, rather than facts.

Surely you could have used the bathroom at Harmon Field, which was close by. I usually walk to the river daily to feed the fish and exercise the cats. I consider this to be part of my front yard, and technically it is. Shame on you…. My only consolation is that you broke a few poison ivy branches on your way from the road down the embankment. I certainly hope you took a souvenir with you that may be as unpleasant as the one that you left for me. While I am mentioning things, there have been two large dogs that have been using the yard as their highway. One is black and the other seems to be a fuzzy tan or cream color (possibly whitish). They usually come around after dark. These are rather big dogs, and the first picture I saw made me think that the black one was a coyote as coyotes are in the immediate area. No collars could be seen. I value my cats, so please keep your dogs at home. Thank you..

act that would occur should the Supreme Court find components of a law unconstitutional (in other words, doing their job). Now, more locally, we hear similar statements about possible outcomes of passing Amendment 1. Let’s take the example of N.C. law professor Maxine Eichner - whom we must assume, since she is a law professor, is teaching inaccuracies to her students. She stated that the amendment “…could prevent insurance companies from offering insurance benefits to same and opposite sex domestic partners. (Continued on page 9)

• Opinions vs. facts (continued from page 8)
They say [don’t know who they are but what “they” say shouldn’t concern a law professor evaluating a law] it could also put in jeopardy the state’s right to allow same-sex or opposite-sex unmarried couples the right to make medical decisions if a partner is incapacitated, the right to make funeral and burial arrangements, inheritance rights if one dies without a will and the right to be named guardian if a domestic partner becomes incapacitated.’ Each of these statements is partially or totally untrue. Insurance companies are private entities determining their own benefit structure and not mentioned in this amendment. The statutes relating to Living Wills, Health Care Power of Attorney and Durable Power of Attorney make no mention of limitations as to whom an individual may appoint to enact their wishes in these areas - the same applies to burial arrangements. Partially true are the issues of dying intestate (without a will). However there are many issues that impact even current spouses and next of kin in these issues and these facts merely emphasize the importance of writing a will that designates inheritance and other details - certainly not a difficult task. Then we have Ms. McDermott’s claim that “…what the proposed resolution tries to do is to establish an official government religious view for Polk County.” This statement is also not true as no particular religion is favoring

this view or mentioned in this amendment. Also, many opponents to the amendment oppose it on grounds that have nothing to do with religion. We then have Mr. McIntyre lending some credence to the above statement by absurdly stating that “Your position to not support it was a no-confidence vote in the word of G-d”. An emotion-stirring argument if I ever heard one but not a legal argument at all and unrelated to the amendment’s outcome. Ms Gass then discusses a psychological theory about a sexuality scale and the inability for a person to change sexual orientation. Firstly, these are speculations. More importantly, they have nothing germane to offer about the status of marriage under the law. Ms. Gass goes further by asking “How to can we vote to make it (sexual orientation) illegal?” This amendment takes no stance on the legality of sexual orientation only the privilege of obtaining a license for marriage in our state. As has been said many times, “You have the right to your own opinions but not to your own facts.” Until we restore legitimate, truthful debate to our society, no difficult decisions will be honestly decided in government or public affairs. We should try to avoid stooping to the level of many of our elected officials who wish to govern by stirring emotions (demagoguery) rather than having an honest debate about facts.

Schweizer: ‘Okay, we’ll have two pianos!’ Community Chorus director Mark Schweizer tries to appease two favorite local pianists, Beth Child (left) and Pam McNeil, by promising to bring two Steinway grand pianos on stage when the chorus presents its spring concert Sunday, May 6 at 3 p.m. at the Polk County High School auditorium. The two pianists will share the keyboards on “Carmina Burana” by Carl Orff during the concert. The stage will also host the Nor th Greenville University percussion ensemble, two soloists and upwards of 100 singers. In addition to “Carmina Burana,” Schweizer will direct Alfred Fedak’s “Gift of Music” and some favorite spirituals. The concert benefits the Rotary Club of Tr yon Scholarship Fund.

Brian Free and Assurance
Brian Free and Assurance at Landrum First Baptist April 20 Landrum First Baptist Church will host Brian Free and Assurance in a love offering concert on Friday, April 20 at 7 p.m. The group presented a well-received performance at the church last summer. Brian Free is one of the most recognizable southern gospel tenors of this generation. Since 1982, he has been at the forefront of southern gospel music since first joining Gold City Quartet, then moving on to form his own group. Brian Free and Assurance are currently nominated for eight Singing News Fan Awards. Collectively, the group is nominated for favorite artist, traditional quartet and song of the year for “I Believe.” Individually, Brian Free is nominated for favorite male singer and favorite tenor. Bill Shivers is nominated for favorite lead singer, Derrick Selph for favorite baritone singer and Jeremy Lile as favorite bass singer.
Free said southern gospel music has always been his first love, and fans have responded to his music by honoring him and the group with awards such as favorite male singer, favorite tenor (record of eight times), favorite young artist (twice), favorite Horizon group, favorite album (“4 God So Loved”). Most recently, the group’s song “Long as I Got King Jesus” received a Dove Award for Southern Gospel Recorded Song. Brian Free and Assurance have appeared on “Prime Time Country” (TNN), “Hee Haw” (CBS), “The Today Show” (NBC) and 27 of the “Gaither Video” series. Free has also hosted the hit show “Four” on GMC. Organizers said although the group’s members come from different backgrounds, they all agree on one thing, and that is to use their God-given abilities to take the message of Jesus Christ to everyone they can. – article submitted by Stacie Ridings

You’re the dealer and pick up the following hand: [ ---- ♣ AKQJ ♠ AKQ ♥ AKQJ109 What do you bid? If you bid 7 Hearts, you made a good bid. However, left hand opponent then says Double. Now what do you do? If you Redoubled, someone most likely made a big mistake (maybe you).. Sound unbelievable? Yes it is, because you’ve been had. This is a very famous hand called the Mississippi Heart Hand. It was a favorite set-up hand that the Mississippi river boat gamblers used back during the Civil war period and as you can see it cost some gullible and greedy players a lot of money. The fact that it was cheating is a moot point. The entire hand layout is shown to the left.

After West leads the Ace of Diamonds, South is held to six tricks in a Heart contract And, in reality, he can’t make game in any contract. He can make 9 tricks in a Spade contract and 10 tricks in a Club contract. Although this hand is quite entertaining, that’s not the only reason I have presented it. The lesson here is to get you think about taking the time to reason out an opponents actions and to assess the risk versus rewards benefit on your action when situations look they‘re too good to be true. On the above hand, one should reason that West can’t be doubling on just a Ace or two. That double should warn South that there’s something to be concerned about and maybe he shouldn’t bid on. If you were astute enough not to redouble you saved yourself a lot of money. And if you took the bait and redoubled, you just paid a high price to learn that when something looks like a sure thing it’s time to do some serious thinking before you commit to compounding the situation.

Nelson to teach portrait-painting workshop at Skyuka Fine Art April 20-22 Richard Christian Nelson (Rich Nelson) will teach a three-day portrait painting workshop in Tryon April 20-22. The class will take place at the Nelson’s Skyuka Fine Art gallery from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. each day. Artists will work from life over the weekend to grasp the fundamentals of portraiture. This workshop is open to all media, but oil will be emphasized. The class size is limited to 12. The artists will concentrate on painting the portrait from live models. Nelson will offer lectures, demos and group “critiques” (mostly just putting the paintings along the wall and having each artist say “how it’s going”). Email rich@richnelson.com or call 828859-0318 for more information. Nelson is an accomplished portrait and gallery artist who lives in Tryon. He earned his B.F.A. from the College of Creative Studies in Detroit, Mich. in 1988. Nelson taught anatomy, figure drawing and painting at CCS part-time after graduating. He has been working ever since as a portrait artist, gallery artist and instructor.
