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 community slept, and after the revelers 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 sawhorse was erected, looming menacingly in place of the beloved mascot (see the photo on page 3). The Bulletin has received a (Continued on page 3)

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 relentlessly 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 landmark 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.

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 Pacolet, 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 Morris is the fourth to preside there. In 2011, The Tryon Riding and Hunt Club, officially donated 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, Morris has fallen into disrepair, but

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 locations 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 engineer, in an email to Polk County. “On this portion of SR 1100, Fork Creek Road, NCDOT Traffic Department 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 increased trailer traffic is visiting Orchard Lake Campground, located along the road. The commissioners’ resolution requests that state contingency funds be released to fund this project as soon as possible.

McEntire artwork in studio glass exhibit in Morganton, N.C. Artwork by Dale McEntire of Saluda is included in an exhibition 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 anniversary in 2012. To recognize the work crafted by the studio glass artists of western North Carolina, an exhibition of work by 15 preeminent 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 participating gallery. The exhibition will focus on blown glass and architectural or sculptural work that incorporates glass in its design. This includes many unique vessels in varied hues and colors, anatomical forms in cast glass, stacked and etched monolithic shapes, painted two-dimensional work and lighted pieces, among others. The Burke Arts Council’s Jail-
house Gallery will host the work of Robert Levin, Carl Powell, John Geci and Scott Summerfield. Kalā Gallery will feature John Littleton and Kate Vogel, Victor Chiarizia, Rick Melby, Katherine and William Bernstein and Morganton native David Van Noppen. MESH Gallery will host work by Dale McEntire, David Goldhagen and Michael Hatch. On Saturday, June 16, the day of the opening reception, several showings of the documentary film, “Pioneers of Studio Glass,” are scheduled at Morganton’s
historic courthouse. The film traces the development of studio glass in America and the instrumental role artist Harvey Littleton played in the studio glass movement. Also, that day, local photographer John Payne’s private collection of glass will be on display at his downtown studio.

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 clucking 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 portions of northern Mexico. Here in the eastern US, this cuckoo preby Simon fers open wood- Thompson lands, riverine thickets and brushy edges. It winters primarily in South America, from Panama 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 belly, the cuckoo sports red-brown wing feathers and a long tail
The Bird Box
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 forage for many species of insects, especially large caterpillars with tent caterpillars being especially attractive food items and both Yellow and Black-billed Cuckoos may assist in controlling populations of these tree defoliators. Their nests are rather loosely constructed platforms of 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 channel alteration, water diversion for agriculture and the cutting

of trees. Also pesticides may be curtailing populations in agricultural areas, both on its breeding and wintering grounds. Here in Western North Carolina, Yellow-billed Cuckoos and their close relatives, Black-billed Cuckoos, appear around the beginning of May. While the former species breeds throughout our area, the Black-billed Cuckoo is a rare summer breeding bird, although it has recently 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 clucking sounds are very much a part of the woodlands throughout the southern US.

This presentation was originally set for March 24 but was canceled because of an illness in the presenter’s family. Botanist David Campbell, of the UNCC Herbarium, will present 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 interested 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 documented in the area. Time and weather permitting, there may also be an interpre-

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.
