CORRECTION: Mary Prioleau said she felt like she was in the middle of a bad April Fool’s joke last week. She was incorrectly listed as owing taxes that she paid in an ad taken out by the Town of Tryon in the Bulletin’s Monday, April 1 issue. Then in the Bulletin’s Friday, April 5 issue she was listed as having been convicted of simple assault in superior court, when there was actually no judgement made. The case was remanded back to district court, where there was a “prayer for judgement continued.” According to N.C. General Statute 151A-101, a prayer for judgement continued means that upon payment of court costs, which Prioleau was not ordered to pay, it does not constitute the entry of a judgement. The Bulletin apologizes to Prioleau for its misinterpretation of the superior court results.

Buchanan. This year’s Polk County Relay theme is “Ole Timey Country Fair.” The night will include games, entertainment and family fun. Polk County’s local fundraising goal is $35,000 and no donation is too large or too small. Local teams have been raising money in the community to achieve this year’s goal and will continue with on-site fundraising on Friday evening, May 31. Cancer survivors are invited to walk a special recognition lap immediately following the opening ceremonies at 6 p.m. This will be followed by a caregiver lap. All caregivers are asked to join the survivors on the track. A special luminary ceremony will take place around 9:30 p.m. Luminaries will line the track to remember loved ones lost to the disease and to honor survivors. Luminaries will be for sale on Friday night prior to the ceremony until 8:30 pm. The Relay for Life idea was the brain child of a surgeon
from Tacoma, Wash., in the mid-1980s. Dr. Gordy Klatt, a marathon runner, circled a track for 24 hours while nearly 300 of his friends, family and patients watched. Since 1985, the Relay idea has spread to communities throughout the nation. Dr. Klatt was ironically diagnosed with cancer himself earlier this month. Today, millions of people throughout the United States participate in this fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. The funds raised go for cancer research, cancer education, local programs and services and fund the 1-800-ACS-2345 toll free cancer hotline which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and www.cancer.org where anyone can get the latest cancer information at their fingertips. Donations may be made at any time, even during the Relay For Life event or by visiting the event website at www.relayforlife.org/ polknc. For more information on the Relay For Life event, please contact event chairperson David Moore at david@wantmoore. com. – article submitted by Debbie Buchanan

Kiwanis battle gray skies to cleanup roadway Hardy members of the Tryon Kiwanis Club battled gray skies, wind and the threat of rain to pick up litter along Hwy. 108 from the roundabout in Columbus to Harmon Field Road on Saturday, March 23. After meeting at the dining room at LaurelHurst Apar tment Homes for a delicious breakfast, they paired up to walk along the highway collecting other people’s trash. It’s amazing what some people throw out – Andy Millard found a pair of broken eyeglasses, a pristine golf ball and a jar of pickled okra. Pictured above are those who helped with the cleanup: Butch Colosimo, Ernie Giannini, Jennifer Thompson, Bill Hague, Lee Cobourn, and Andy and Sharon Millard. Tryon Kiwanis Club holds the No. 1 position for state litter pick-up groups as the club was the very first to sign up for this job. (photo by Lynn Montgomery)

PAC works with area landowners to ensure the long-term protection of their property through voluntary conservation easements (agreements) which enable landowners to maintain ownership of their property, preserving precious natural resources (open lands, forests, wildlife habitat, scenic vistas, farmland, stream banks, etc.), and potentially obtain significant federal, state and local tax benefits. PAC’s vision is a community living and growing in harmony with our natural heritage and a goal to provide a legacy that will endure and be valued by generations to come. PAC works diligently to provide leadership to encourage conservation and provide education programs emphasizing responsible land use practices to help – save the places you love. – article submitted by Pam Torlina

The speaker will be Reverend Jean M. Rowe who will speak on the topic “For the Earth, Forever Turning.” This is a sermon on environmental justice. For example, where is justice for the birds, the bees and the bears? Where is justice for the poor of the human race, needing water to sustain life just as much as the wealthier people? Where is justice for the elephant, prized for his tusks? What in the world are we becoming, and is there any hope for us and the earth? Do only the powerful and politically connected have rights to

The Green Blades Garden Club Tour of Homes will include a stop at historic Stone Hedge.
Historic Stone Hedge on Tour of Homes Built in 1935, Stone Hedge started out as a private residence located on 125 acres. A lake out back was filled in by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) when 1-26 was built. Then, for 30 years the estate served as a bed and breakfast – becoming a popular destination for vacationers and host for many dinner parties and formal dining. The current homeowners have brought the former inn full circle – turning the now 25-acre estate once again into a private residence. As you walk in the front door, what was once the dining area is now the living room. The only renovation has been painting the stucco walls and removing the carpet to reveal oak and tile floors. The original carpet still remains on the stairs. A fireplace mantle was carved by Tryon Wood Carvers and Toy Makers. A men’s sitting room is now an updated half bath and a wall was removed in the women’s sitting room and now serves as an office. The kitchen received a major renovation. This room was originally added on in the 50s and served as a bedroom for the staff and later as a dishwashing room for the inn. A
pantry was created from what was a full bath for the staff. The previous kitchen is now the breakfast room. During renovation, dry wall was removed to reveal a stone wall. Terra Cotta tile replaced the original floor and granite counters were added. Two guest houses are included on the tour, each containing a bedroom with a stone fireplace. The pool guest house has built-in ovens on an exterior wall. The view from the back of the main residence is of Tryon Peak and Miller Mountain. The extensive rock work throughout the interior and exterior of all of the buildings, as well as the rock walls and pillars were built from material cleared from nearby fields. As you sit on the front terrace, once used for outdoor dining, overlooking the pastoral and Warriar Mountain Views, one can almost hear the countless conversations and celebrations held over the years. The Tour of Homes, presented as a fundraiser by the Green Blades Garden Club, will be held on Saturday, April 13. Hours of the tour are 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Tickets may be purchased at PJ Fashion and Expressions Florist in Landrum, Down to Earth Garden
