Ivan Cunningham doesn’t fuss as his aunt Angela gets him ready for church on Sunday mornings. He doesn’t grumble as she wakes him or complain when Father Walter Bryan picks him up. No, Ivan knows the congregation of Tryon’s Good Shepherd Episcopal Church relies on him. “He excitedly tells me on Friday, ‘Man, I’ve only got two more days until church on Sunday,’” Angela Cunningham said. Five-year-old Ivan serves as the acolyte at Tryon’s Good Shepherd Episcopal Church. As the service concludes (Continued on page 4)

Silver Creek Community residents ask for noise ordinance Planning board to consider in June by Leah Justice

Several Silver Creek Community residents have asked Polk County to create a noise ordinance due to

excessive noise from guns, cars and music within the subdivision. About a dozen residents attended the Polk County Planning Board meeting held Thursday, May 9 saying they have neighbors shooting guns all through the night

Four artists discuss their creative process at Tryon Fine Arts Center Tryon Fine Arts Center will present Tuesday evening, May 14 from 6-7:30 p.m., a special evening with four prominent area sculptors, Stoney Lamar, Dustin Farnsworth, Dale McEntire and Dale Weiler. The artists will discuss their art and their process of creation in a panel discussion format. The event is part of the Sculpture 2013 exhibit on display in the building and on the grounds at Tryon Fine Arts Center until May 30. Stoney Lamar of Saluda has contributed exceptional skill and vision to the world of wood turning for more than 25 years, creating work with a distinct sense of line and movement. A retrospective of his career, A Sense of Balance, is currently on display at the Asheville Art Museum. Farnsworth, currently a resident artist at Penland School of Arts and Crafts, is a sculptor whose work examines the relationship between human beings and their physical and mental

environment. Dale Weiler of Tryon describes himself as a sculptor of stone. He chose this medium because of the “feel of the stone” and the technical challenge of working with probably the most demanding and unforgiving medium of all art forms. McEntire produces both oil and pastel paintings and sculpture (stone, steel, glass and bronze) out of his studio in Saluda. His interest in the spiritual essence of nature can be seen in his use of color and form. Tryon Fine Arts Center provides opportunities and facilities for the entire Carolina Foothills community in order to advance experience and participation in the arts. There is no charge for the sculptor panel discussion; donations will be accepted at the door. Light refreshments will be served. Please call 828-859-8322 or visit www.tryonarts.org if you have any questions. – article submitted by Marianne Carruth

Catching early spring in Honduras I was sitting on the porch of my room watching the rain come down. It was not a little rain, but had been coming down in a constant downpour all morning. There were still a few birds around the property, but the majority of them were staying in deep cover to avoid getting soaked. Despite the noise of the rain on the roof and the conby Simon stant dripping on the leaves, Thompson there were some birds calling from outside my door. Some were familiar notes, such as the short harsh notes of Kentucky and Hooded Warblers (both summer birds here in our area of the Carolinas), but others were distinctly tropical. Brown Jays are very noisy and their screams are easily heard above the steady drumming of the rain and Montezuma Oropendolas (large relatives of the Grackles) utter their bizarre gurgling sounds from the large trees around my cabin, while some rhythmic tooting announces the arrival of a Ferruginous PygmyOwl, a quite fierce diurnal hunter of small birds. I was obviously not here in rainy western North Carolina,

The Bird Box

but in a forest preserve near La Ceiba on the north coast of Honduras in Central America, where we had two back-toback birding tours at the very comfortable Pico Bonito Lodge. In just the first few days, we racked up a sizeable list of birds including such local specialties as Vermiculated Screech-Owl, Keel-billed To u c a n a n d White-crowned Parrot. There are lots of birds here that never visit North America and spend their whole lives in the coastal forests in this part of the world. But the woodland and scrub habitat are also full of “our” birds, travelers from the northern climes that are spending the winter down here in the tropics. Wood Thrush and Gray Catbird feed in the open and often come to the fruit that is put out on the bird feeders; Hooded Warblers are common around the grounds and are readily seen in the trail as we go from our rooms to the reception, or in our case, the dining room. It’s a real pleasure to see these brightly colored (Continued on page 15)

birds feeding out in the open when we are so used to seeing them skulking deep in the vegetation of our mountain forests. Other wintering warblers are common around the property, including American Redstart, back-and-white, Magnolia and Chestnut-sided Warblers and even Ovenbird. Yellow-bellied Flycatchers call from the understory and Summer Tanagers give their distinctive notes from vine tangles and treetops. It’s wonderful to see how common many of these birds are down here in the Honduran forests, but even here their forest habitats are surrounded by a sea of oil palm, banana and sugar cane plantations- poor habitats for any species of bird to attempt to stay alive. It’s a depressing sight to see local forests being axed to make room for yet more plantations of foreign trees with all of the revenues from the crops heading straight out of the country. Thankfully Honduras has a great selection of national parks with Pico Bonito Lodge snuggled right into it allowing wildlife to cross from one prop-

Saturday night, May 4, 10 of the most beautiful and talented Polk County High School girls challenged each other for the title of Miss PCHS 2013. Competing in the areas of casual wear, talent and formal wear, the girls were judged on their poise, interview skills and grace under pressure as they answered questions pertaining to social issues. The audience and judges found Ali Baston’s story of her 12-year friendship with another contestant, Moira Davis, very moving. Baston was awarded the highest scores in every category, including talent, in which she sang as Moira danced an interpretive ballet piece. Class winners were: Chelsea Kelly – Miss Senior; Stephanie Pace – Miss Junior, Lindsay Pruett – Miss Sophomore and Grace Marshall – Miss Freshman. The other contestants were Scarlett Frisbee, Emily Kocher, Sarah Phipps and Cheyenne Young. This year’s sponsors were Van’s Chocolates of Hendersonville, Ali B’s Boutique in Columbus, A Better Deal and Tryon House, both in Tryon. – article submitted by Jacque Brown-Williams Miss PCHS 2013 Ali Baston, at left, with contestant Moira
