The House of Flags Museum in Columbus was recently featured in the newsletter of the North American Vexillological As-sociation (NAVA). Vexillology, from the Latin “vexillum,”

meaning “flag,” and the Greek “ology,” is the schol-arly study of flags. The article that featured the House of Flags was entitled “The House of Flags Museum Helps Identify the ‘Red Feather’ Flag.”

Appearance matters: Adopt-a-Highway Program in Polk County43 roads or sections of roads adoptedby Leah Justice

With spring bringing nice tempera-tures, Polk County residents may see a lot of people picking up litter in the next several months.

That’s because 43 roads or sections of roads in Polk County have been ad-opted by individuals or organizations that have pledged to keep them clean (see a full list on page 8).

Foolish fun comes back to Tryon by Samantha Hurst

Neckties strung along Trade Street in Tryon and around Morris the Horse’s neck proclaim the pending April Fool’s Festival this weekend.

The gaiety of the event spread through town two weeks ago as city employees hung the ties from light post to light post.

The idea for the neckties originally came from the mind of Bill Jones.

Jones was born in Tryon but spent most of his working life in Atlanta. When he moved

back here to live on Lake Lanier, he tried to encourage the community to hang neckties throughout the town.

“I moved here from Atlanta years ago with about 1,000 neck-ties I had collected. So I talked to so many people trying to get this idea going, and finally Kathleen Carson picked up on it,” Jones said. “My thought was it might could grab some national attention for the arts here.”

Jones, grand marshal for the Fool’s Festival parade, said he thinks the April Fool’s Festival shows what a wonderful commu-nity Tryon is to live in.

“I’m thrilled, I’m thrilled (to be the grand marshal) and I guess it was because of this necktie project I had suggested several years ago,” Jones said. “I will wear some kind of crazy costume and do anything I can to help Tryon.”

Tryon Downtown Development Association (TDDA) members amped things up for this year’s festival. In place of last year’s street

dance, the committee opted for a Fool’s Jam, sponsored by Costco and Main Street Financial. The event will begin at 7 p.m. Friday at Sunnydale (next to IGA) and will be the perfect opportunity for musicians to come out and play together while the rest of attendees dance the night away.

The Trophy Husbands will play opening and closing sets and will provide musical equipment for musicians to sign up and “jam.” All necessary gear - PA system, guitar and bass amps, and a digital keyboard – will be there. Just bring your instrument, and drummers will want to bring snare, cymbals and sticks.

There will be a sign-up sheet at the door, and groups of up to six players will be assigned times to play their 20-minute sets.

Saturday, March 31 is when the foolishness kicks in full force.

The morning will begin with games, music, food and other ac-tivities in the Tryon Depot plaza. Here kids and adults can stop by the Tryon Daily Bulletin booth to create outfits out of recycled ma-

terials, get their faces painted and participate in other games.

At noon wackiness in an assort-ment of shapes, sizes and colors will stroll down Trade Street in the April Fool’s parade. Commu-nity members wishing to be in the

parade are encouraged to “be some-thing you are not” and meet at the Tryon United Methodist Church on New Market Rd. at 11:30 a.m.

After the parade, anyone in-

terested in participating in the Foothills Humane Society (FHS) Stroller Race, IGA TP (toilet pa-per) Trot or Stott’s Ford Outhouse Race will want to head down to the crosswalk outside Café at My Place. Registration earlier in the day is encouraged, organizers said. Anyone interested in the FHS Stroller Race – you race pushing strollers filled with bags of dog food down the road – will sign up with FHS at their On the Road trailer outside of the old St. Luke’s Thrift Store building.

Anyone wishing to register for the TP Trot or Outhouse Races should visit the registration table next to Stott Ford’s corner park-ing lot. In the IGA TP Trot, teams of two people will race down the street attempting to throw rolls of toilet paper into their shopping carts. The team with the most rolls of toilet paper in their carts at the finish line will win.

And, of course, there will be the annual Outhouse Races. Anyone who has built an outhouse for the

race is invited to participate in the parade and then line up at Stott’s Ford for the races. During the day, Stott’s Ford will also have a collec-tion of mustangs on display from area car enthusiasts. Community members may vote during the day for their favorite classic car.

After you’ve raced to the finish line or cheered on your friends doing so, head back up to the depot plaza for the Trashion Show. Kids and adults alike will have been work-ing for weeks – and for some a few hours – on their recycled garments for this classy fashion affair, spon-sored by Tryon House Apparel and Thompson Landscape Professionals.

The crowning event of the 2012 April Fool’s Festival, the Mas-querade Fool’s Ball, is sponsored by Owens Pharmacy and Vines & Stuff. This event will also be held at Sunnydale beginning at 7 p.m. Saturday. Attendees will be entertained with music by the Carburetors.

This festival, which was created in 2006, is organized each year by the TDDA, a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to the revitalization of downtown Tryon.

mission said it is proud to support the Adopt-a-Highway Program and it appreciates the many individuals and organizations that are a part of the program, as well as the many people who work to clean their neighborhoods without being a part of a program.

“This is ‘pride of place’ in ac-tion,” said appearance commission chair Joe Cooper. “If we would just take care of our roadside garbage and litter, our county would be more attractive and inviting to new busi-nesses and visitors.”

The Appearance Commission of Polk County is a group of volunteers working to promote and initiate pro-grams that will beautify the county.

“We all know that we live in a naturally beau-tiful place,” Cooper said. “ T h e o n l y blights are the ones we have caused our-selves.”

Cooper said the appearance com-mission’s vision is “Our Foothills Clean and Beautiful.” The organiza-tion said it hopes in the future there will be beautifully planted areas throughout the county on clean road-sides, with artful signs welcoming visitors and informing them of the many interesting features in Polk’s rural, yet culturally rich area.

“Our buildings will be appropri-ately designed and sized with night lighting that is safe and efficient but not obtrusive to others,” Cooper said. “Public areas will be free of litter and clutter and often showcase our local artists.”

The appearance commission has been busy working towards its goals, including sponsoring an annual beautification award for private and public improvements that are visible by the public from roads or side-walks. The organization has also:

• Supported a local garden club in the landscape planting around the Polk County Tourism Office and the “Doughboy” statue in front of the

courthouse• Proposed beautification im-

provements to the Womack Building with large planters in the entry and shutters on the windows to match the courthouse

• O r g a -n i z e d n e w l a n d s c a p -ing and tree plantings with the N.C. De-partment of Transporta-

tion (DOT) on the traffic circles and I-26 interchange in Columbus

• Worked to develop kudzu con-trol in the county

• Won a statewide Adopt-a-High-way program award for encouraging new participants

• Wrote specific beautification goals in the county’s 20/20 Vision Plan

• Proposed and secured fund-ing for “Gateway Trees,” a line of trees along Hwy. 108 coming into Columbus, which was completed this week.

To adopt a highway, contact the DOT, which will send information, paperwork and provide training. The DOT number for Polk County’s district is 828-891-7911.

Columbus Town Council ap-proved the purchase of a new Dodge Charger for its police department.

The town is able to finance the vehicle because it can pay off an $8,439 loan for a 2010 Dodge Charger with insurance money received after another police ve-hicle, a Ford Crown Victoria, was totaled when a tractor-trailer hit it along I-26 last year.

After paying off the loan, the town has approximately $7,241 re-maining to put toward equipment for the new 2012 Dodge Charger.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, March 22 and approved the purchase with financing from BB&T at an interest rate of 2.39 percent. The town will not begin making payments on the new vehicle until the 2013-2014 fiscal year beginning July 1, 2013.

Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield said this use of the insurance settlement is enabling the department to get its fleet in complete working order. The police department had researched purchasing a used vehicle with the settlement, but no search led to a vehicle with less than 100,000 miles, Beddingfield said.

“Instead of spending signifi-cant money, we’re paying off a

2010 car and putting the majority of the money in equipping another new one while not increasing our debt service,” said Beddingfield.

The town will finance $22,338 for the vehicle over three years.

Beddingfield said he expects delivery of the new Dodge Char-ger sometime this week.

“Instead of spending significant money, we’re paying off a 2010 car and putting the majority of the money in equipping another new one while not increasing our debt service.”

Buried motorcycle leads to alleged insurance fraud arrestN.C. Insurance Commission-

er Wayne Goodwin recently an-nounced the arrest of Peter Jay Raposa, 44, of 224 Asheland Road, Ellenboro, N.C.; he is charged with one count of insurance fraud.

Investigators allege that in Feb-

ruary 2006, Raposa reported his 2005 Harley Davidson custom motorcycle stolen and filed a claim with Nationwide Insurance. The claim was settled with a $25,000 payment to the lien holder, First Citizens Bank, and a $4,000 pay-

ment to Raposa. In January 2012, the motorcycle was found buried on property where Raposa lived in 2006. The current property owner was having grading work done when her contractor discovered the motorcycle.

Raposa was arrested on March 22 in Polk County and released by the magistrate after posting the $2,500 bond. He is expected to return to court on April 11.

• If you are appealing thevalue of your property, you

LEGALS

must provide evidencethat the county value wassubstantially higher thanmarket value on January1, 2009 (the county's lastappraisal year.) Examplesof relevant evidence in-clude:

o sale prices of propertiescomparable to yours,which sold during the yearbefore the county’s lastappraisal year;

o unequal assessed val-ues for properties compa-rable to yours;

o an appraisal with an ef-fective date of January 1,2009 (the county’s last ap-praisal date;) any ap-praisal after January 1,2009 cannot be taken un-der consideration.

o For example, if your taxvalue was set by thecounty at $200,000 a cou-ple of years ago, but to-day’s market value is only$70,000 because of a re-cent decrease in real es-tate values, the county isnot permitted to lower thetax value. For the samereason, your tax value

She’s studied with Michael Gellman of Second City, Todd Stashwick and Jay Rhoderick of Burn Manhattan

and Deb Rabbai of Broadway’s Next Hit Musical, among oth-ers.

Jane O’Leary, managing di-rector of Gotham City Improv, said, “Darlene has a fabulous creative ability. Her work is

Alleged auto insurance fraud leads to arrest of Polk womanN.C. Insurance Commissioner

Wayne Goodwin recently an-nounced the arrest of Judy Ann Mills, 51, of 425 Rockwood Lane, Tryon; she is charged with one count of insurance fraud.

Investigators allege that Mills filed a claim with GEICO In-surance stating that her 2008 Acura TL was damaged when an unidentified vehicle ran her off the road. GEICO paid more

than $6,000 to repair the vehicle. Witnesses later reported to inves-tigators that Mills actually struck a fence on private property while driving impaired.

Mills was arrested on March

22 in Polk County and released by the magistrate upon her writ-ten promise to appear in court on March 28.

Editor’s note: Elvin Clark, one of the actors in Tryon Little Theater’s production of “Knock, Knock,” has been writing a blog about the experience.

Over the next several weeks, the Bulletin will publish some of his posts to give insight into the process of creating a community theater production.

“Knock, Knock” runs April 19-22 and April 26-29 at the Tryon Little Theater’s Workshop.

Sunday was a monumental day. We ran the entire show with-out books in our hands and I have to say it was quite good. Was it perfect? No. Was it performance quality? Not yet. But still, it was more than the baby taking a few steps and then falling on his took us. This was the kid toddling into the kitchen for a snack for the first time.

We’re three weeks and four days away from opening. I’ve had the misfortune of being in shows where the object of some of the cast was to have their lines learned by opening night. More often than not, when that’s their goal, they miss their objective. That’s not theater, that’s a night-mare and a waste of everyone’s time – especially the audience’s time. Productions like that don’t rehearse, they hold play practice. And the difference is all the dif-ference.

In “Knock, Knock,” now is when we actors get to play, to re-fine, to experiment. Decide what works and what doesn’t. This time is why actors do and must “act.” Yes, it is addictive and is a borderline disease. A disease for which, in my experience, there is no cure.

For those who enjoy contem-porary Christian music, Tryon United Methodist Church will offer an additional Palm Sunday service this year at 6:30 p.m. on April 1 in the church sanctuary. The “Come to the Cross” service, focusing on the cross and its sig-nificance in the Christian faith, will include a narrative reading of the Passion scriptures and

multiple ways of congregational response.

The music will be led by Broken Bread, the praise band that leads the early morning con-temporary service each Sunday.

The community is invited. For more information, call the church at 828-859-9218.

Today is National Doctors’ Day, an annual celebration in honor of the physicians who care for us. In our area we are blessed to have so many fine doctors with an abundance of expertise, compas-sion and dedication along with the facilities and resources to provide excellent care.

I have yet to hear someone complain about the quality of care in our area, and as anyone who has lived in a small town will tell you – that’s not the usual and probably, is down right unheard of.

From dog bites to heart attacks residents receive top quality pro-fessional care. A week doesn’t go by that I don’t hear from someone who expresses how thankful they are that we have St. Luke’s Hos-pital right here in Tryon, centrally located in the heart of our area and what great treatment they received from their doctor.

Day in and day out at every hour of the day and night, regard-less of holidays, physicians service our needs. We have a lot to be thankful for in our area and our doctors rank right up there near the top.

And so on this, the National

Doctor’s Day, I would like to say thank you to all of our doctors for your service, dedication, and your compassionate care. Thank you for being there when we need you.

As wary that I am in regards to our complete lack of winter this past year, I am embracing the early explosion of spring this year with the appreciation of a neophyte.

The 450 daffodils that Paul brought back from a trip to Baltimore, planted only 6 weeks ago, have exploded with sunny faces, of all different varieties, drifting up the drive, encircling the rose beds and punctuating the conifers planted along the barn. Already, two pink azaleas have opened as have unfurled the buds of the dogwoods, pre-senting soft white flowers, like a child’s cupped hand

This is the t i m e o f y e a r where my morn-ing meditations move outdoors. To be true, there are certainly brittle winter mornings when the air is still and the sky, rose- pink and clear, lull me into pausing in the middle of barn chores to take a moment and gaze across frost-crusted fields while keeping a firm hand on the lead as I walk each horse to the gate, snorting streams of steam from distended nostrils, stamping a delicate foreleg, eager to explode into acres of freedom, plunging, bucking- all for the sheer thrill of being alive.

We humans have so much to learn from our animals. As children, yes, I think we did express ourselves physically when overcome with exuber-ance: bouncing on the back seat of the bus on the last day of school before summer vaca-tion, the excited barefoot jig on the kitchen floor before mother pulls the sheet of cookies from the oven, the leaping down the stairs on Christmas morning. Then adolescence arrives with its heavy cloak, effectively suf-focating any displays that could be considered eye-rollingly immature.

Funny, that. The shrieking

freckled girls, just a year ago, pushing each other off the floating dock in the middle of the lake and collapsing into a heap of laughter are suddenly terribly self conscious at 12 and 13 and loll about now, quietly texting and on the verge of sul-lenness. The boys, still unsure of the parameters of their age, remain engaged in horseplay, until one, taking the lead, dis-appears with an air of boredom and a cigarette absconded from his father’s jacket.

Before we know it we are married and become moth-ers and fathers and while we

certainly have ample opportu-nities for nights out, filled with f r i e n d s a n d laughter, l i fe becomes quite

a serious matter: we doggedly drive our morning commute, pay the mortgage and the dental bills, have the car tuned up and cut out coupons. When spring beckons we only tend to re-ally take note when we leave, briefly, the two-dimensional world of screens before our faces to rise and turn on the air-conditioning before casting a glance out the office window and realizing how suddenly green the grass has become.

But a dog, a dog! Unless a dog is crippled with arthritis and is too stiff in the hips to leap down the front steps first thing in the morning, a dog will demonstrate all its master is missing with a display of full-throttled enthusiasm of life, tearing circles around the yard, rolling over in play with the neighbor’s mongrel, treeing a squirrel and only coming to heel when called brusquely back inside by his human, impatient and uncomfortable in the morn-ing chill, longing for coffee and on-line headlines.

Even the barn cats, rising and arching their backs against my

A full blown love affair with life

Want to make your Doctor’s day?Honor your physician with a gift to the St. Luke’s Hospital Foundation.

March 30 is Doctors Day . . . Each year, we recognize our doctors, physician

assistants and nurse practitioners for their community

spirit, their healing talents and their selfl ess dedication

to the art of medicine. Th is year, you can make your

doctor feel really good with a contribution to St. Luke’s

Hospital Foundation in his or her honor.

Just like our physicians, all donations improve

healthcare in our community.

Please accept this tax-deductible gift in honor (or memory) of:

legs in the morning will turn and scamper out of the barn, going full tilt across the lawn until picking a random tree to scuttle up, waiting momentarily, then dropping down again to tear away in a blur of orange and calico.

It’s not simply ‘Spring Fe-ver’ they are exhibiting. It’s a full-blown love affair with life. And I’m quite sure many of us remember it from time to time. It’s why we can’t stop watching puppies playing on our com-

puter. It’s why we cherish the spirit of the Mustang, galloping over the desert west. We rec-ognize these physical displays as charming, powerful, beauti-ful and touching. It’s just that our own, personal, memories of such behavior have turned sepia-toned and tucked away.

So, go ahead...find your patch of grass and practice that cartwheel your were trying to perfect before trying out for Junior High cheerleading. Take your dog off-lead and try to keep up. Push your best friend into the creek.

No one’s looking.

Humane Society Special Cases

There are so many things that the noble dog does for we humans out of love and loyalty. Herd-ers, hunters, therapy and simple household companions. There is one group that earns my deepest respect and gratitude, service dogs. Those that rescue or work with the police and armed forces. These magnificent animals sacrifice life and limb in the most dangerous of situations and often give both for our benefit. The two tales I am about to impart represent one who has already given and one who is willing to do so.

When I received the call from J.J. and Nikki about Storm I was grateful for the opportunity to give back to this hero. J.J. is a young policeman at the bottom of his pay scale and Nikki is cur-rently out of work due to a broken leg. I have seen what they have spent on Storm when they could and witnessed the love and care they give their dogs.

Storm is a 4-year-old Belgian Malinos rescued from Heartwell Kennels in Georgia. I don’t know the reason this beautiful boy wound up at a kennel but just the thought of it offends me. He has developed heartworm and this nice couple cannot afford the treatment. I went to Bonnie Brae to see my good friend Dr. Ian Fitch and we worked out a treatment and payment plan. Lennie’s Fund

They teach us love and loyaltywill pay for this and do so gladly. I don’t know what Storms duties were was but somehow he repre-sents all those that I hold in such high esteem. What these dogs are willing to do for us should never be forgotten. So to my new friend Storm, “you get well and live out your life in your new forever home. This time someone has got your back.”

I will let Magic’s former fos-terer and trainer tell you about him. Hopefully some of our local law enforcement will contact their brethren in surrounding areas on his behalf.

I am a loyal, nerve steady one and a half year old Rottweiler with feet the size of dessert plates.

I need security job because my dream is to protect a police person.

I have a bit of German Shep-herd shaken into my lineage giv-ing me my excellent sniffer and resilient rescue talents. My other skills are of the highest natural qualifications such as my coura-geous boldness, my fearless self assurance and my inherent guard-ing instincts.

And wow… am I speedy with my far reaching and enduring gate. I have been timed running 25 miles per hour uphill. I have a calm gaze and am good humored, but I never get nervous and I do look forebod-

ing when it’s time for business.The girl canines think I’m

attractive because I am power-fully built both in height (27”) and stature (80 lbs.) but my greatest strength is my gifted intelligence and military willingness to serve and please my person.

I have started my security training with a nice person who previously worked in Miami with search and rescue dogs. She says my Rottie ancestors guarded live-stock during the march of the Ro-man Soldiers across Europe way back when. She also says I’ve got the right stuff, even though I’m not a Euro-chic Belgian Malinois or Tervuren. I am just an American -made fox hole buddy who will put

my life on the line for my partner’s love and safety.

I’m called Flynn by my trainer and others call me Magic. It doesn’t matter that you call me as long as I can sleep near you.

My trainer thinks we should be a bit wiser about dogs. People sometimes have the opinion that dogs are less complete when mea-sured against humans.

But dogs are perfect just as they are. They are gifted with the senses we do not have: dogs hear what we don’t, see what we don’t and smell what we don’t. They also sense the invisible truth of changing energies sensing every-thing from anger and danger to sadness and joy.

Dogs are like another nation or culture with their own compart-mentalized language, emotions and customs. How is that they compel us to laugh and yet induce us to tears? Dogs are loyal. They are not ambivalent. They don’t hold grudges. If a dog loves you he doesn’t care how much money you have or what you look like. The world would be so sopping beige without the humor of the straightforward, open, innocent loyalty of a dog.

Police department: Take a chance. Come see me. I promise to serve you faithfully. You will not be disappointed, and you will save some money you’d spend on those fancy imports. Call me at 828-863-4444 at my condo in the Foothills Humane Society, www.foothillshumanesociey.org (find a dog, Magic). Thank you from the bottom of my big heart.

Thanks for listening.

school teams and seven middle school teams participated. All schools were examples of the goal set by the State of N.C. Wildlife showing knowledge, responsibility, safety and in-volvement. Polk County high’s team “A” took first place honors in the overall competition, second place in shotgun and their very own Matthew Walker, taking first place in the Orinteering event.

The “A” team has earned the honor to compete in the State championship. They will be traveling to Ellerbee, N.C. for the April 28 event to meet against the top teams from districts across the state. Polk will represent the ninth district which consists of the majority of Western N.C.

In attempt to raise money for the trip, the Polk County teams will hold a car wash on March 31 at Advanced Auto Parts in Columbus from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. The money raised will help to buy equipment needed to prepare for the state competition.

This year Polk County had 22 high school and 15 middle school students involved in this sport. Each coach volunteered their time, knowledge, and often their own equipment, several days a week.

The goals of this kind of sport are to insure the future of this country life-long traditions of responsible, safe, knowledgeable and involved hunters. It is most important that future generations learn to care for our land, animals and resources. If you would like to learn more about how you can help get involved, donate or participate, contact Polk County High School’s coach, Larry Walker. You can also visit their Facebook page, Polk County Shooting Team.

Polk County High Schools ap-preciates the volunteers, coaches and the Polk County Gun Club for their contributions. The teams also appreciates Tony Mos, Jack A. and Doyle who spent hours working with students.

Diet & Exercise by David Crocker

Watermelon contains more lycopene then tomatoesA few weeks ago we learned

about the tomato. This week, I’d like to share some information with you, on my favorite fruit…watermelon.

Watermelon is thought to have originated in Southern Af-rica. It was later grown in Egypt, China and Eu-rope and later introduced to native Americans in the 16th cen-tury. Watermelon is cultivated in Russia, and commercially grown in Turkey, China, Iran and 44 of our United States.

In Japan, farmers actually found a way to grow square wa-termelon, by placing young water-melons in glass boxes and letting the fruit assume the box’s shape. A friend once asked me, “Isn’t watermelon just sugar water?”

Actually, not at all. Remember in an earlier column we learned tomatoes contain the powerful cancer-fighting antioxidant lyco-

pene, and that processed tomato products like tomato juice and sauces contain more lycopene than fresh tomatoes? Guess what? Watermelon contains more lyco-pene than either. That’s right. Wa-termelon has more lycopene than

even tomatoes.You see, ly-

copene is what gives water-melon it’s red

color, just like the tomato. In addi-tion to fighting cancers, lycopene shows promise in fighting risk for cardiovascular disease. In fact, this fruit has earned the American Heart Association’s “heart check” seal of approval. Watermelon is rich in Vitamins A and C, which are also antioxidants that help keep arteries strong, and help reduce inflammation in arthritis and asthma.

Watermelon contains potas-sium, a mineral important for proper function of all cells in our bodies. B vitamins in watermelon

help provide energy. Watermelon is great for those trying to shed a few pounds, because it’s virtually calorie free and fat free. One cup only has 46 calories. It also has a 92 percent water content. It’s been proven that foods with high water content help reduce fat levels.

Watermelon also contains calcium, iron and fiber. When storing watermelon, don’t use the refrigerator. The fruit will contain more lycopene if you store it at room temperature for a few days.

Well, we’ve learned lots about the watermelon. One more thing…it tastes great. Mark Twain had the right idea when he penned: “When one has tasted watermelon, he knows what the angels eat.”

Diet or exercise question? Email me at [email protected]. Or visit fitness4yourlife.org. David Crocker of Landrum has been a nutritionist and personal trainer for 26 years.

He served as strength director of the Spartanburg Y.M.C.A., head strength coach for the S.C. state champion girls gymnastic team, USC-Spartanburg baseball team, Converse college equestrian team ,lead trainer to L.H. Fields modeling agency, and taught four semesters at USC-Union. David was also a regular quest of the Pam Stone radio show.

But when they needed medical services, they chose to obtain them through Rutherford Regional Health System. “We never even considered going anywhere else,” Barbara says. “Once we started coming to Rutherford Regional, we never had a reason to go anywhere else.”

The doctors, nurses and staff go the extra mile to ensure patients feel safe and comfortable. “It’s a cut above what we were used to in a bigger city,” Barbara says. “Bigger is not always better,” adds Don.

North Carolina’s major natu-ral wonders are known world-wide, but the state also has scores of hidden treasures – parks, gamelands, trails, creeks and other outdoor places that are just as inviting but not nearly as famous.

Land for Tomorrow invites amateur photographers and art-ists to submit their photographs and illustrations of these special places for its “Hidden Trea-sures” contest.

Submission must be original depictions of publicly acces-sible natural lands – gamelands, parks, greenways, rivers, etc. Wildlife may be included and images that include people enjoying these areas are encour-aged.

Images may be submitted from March 27 through April 24 via one of the following:

• Facebook as a message with an attachment: www.facebook.com/L4TNC

• Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/l4tnc/

• Email: [email protected]

• Pinterest: www.pinterest.com/land4tomorrow (send the

link to the image you’d like to have pinned via email or Face-book message)

Additional details are avail-able at www.landfortomorrow.org/hidden-treasures.

Entries will be judged by a panel of conservation champi-ons from across North Carolina, including representatives from Land for Tomorrow’s leading organizations.

Two winners will be chosen: one photograph and one illustra-tion. Each winner will receive a gift from Great Outdoor Provi-sion Co.

Land for Tomorrow, a coali-tion of conservation, sportsmen, agriculture, wildlife, business and local government organiza-tions, is committed to preserving and protecting North Carolina’s land and water resources. Its goal is to increase public aware-ness for the need to protect ad-ditional lands that are critical to the economic well-being and quality of life in North Carolina.

Submissions sought for NorthCarolina’s Hidden Treasures Contest

Coming April 30, 2012



I Musici de Montreal, the 15-member string orchestra that closed Tryon Concert Associa-tion’s 57th season on March 22 at Tryon Fine Arts Center, played not a single piece composed for string orchestra. I’m as fasci-nated with arrangements and orchestrations as I am with new works, but this group failed to persuade me that two famous string quartets, one of which was played on this series this season, and a piano piece, best known through its full orchestration by Maurice Ravel, should have formed an entire program.

Janacek’s “String Quartet No. 1” (arranged for string orchestra by Richard Tognetti), Shostakov-ich’s “Chamber Symphony, Op. 110 bis” (Shostakovich’s own “second version”) and Mussorg-sky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” (arranged by Yuli Turovsky, the founding conductor of this group) put me on high alert. All

three pieces are filled with pas-sion, tragedy, terror and many small moments of melancholy and introspection that require insight from everyone on stage.

The programming of one Czech and two Russian compos-ers was fine with me, but it proved too challenging for this group in terms of “mak-ing the sale.” As a whole, they performed admirably given the restraint evident in players placed in key positions. The concert mistress was a cool, mechanical player who remained cool and uninteresting until the final piece. (Please don’t tell me that pedal points on a muted string must be icy and barely audible.)

The gentleman playing first chair second violin would have been a better choice for all solo

work with his warmer, more in-teresting sound. His shaping and control of single tones breathed life into several exposed passag-es and would have changed the character of all three pieces had he been concert master. The gift-

ed and compe-tent 24-year-old guest conductor Aziz Shokha-kimov wrought numerous gor-geous endings,

but ripped through both the Janacek and the Shostakovich as if he were terrified of their secrets.

Mussorgsky’s “Pictures at an Exhibition” was helped mightily by the projection of paintings by Natasha Turovsky (Yuli’s daugh-ter), which had been cleverly animated by the digital artist Gael Hollard to “translate” the musical content. In truth, “Cho-reographed Paintings,” as Yuri

Turovsky calls them, struck me as a logical expansion given my opinion that arranging “Pictures at an Exhibition” for string orchestra makes as much sense as turning something like Tchai-kovsky’s “Overture 1812” into a piece for guitar. I enjoyed this arrangement as if it were a new piece, but when I let my mind travel to either the piano solo or Ravel’s fantastic version for full orchestra, I found much of this performance too fast, sometimes too gentle and minus appropriate gravitas for the recurring “Prom-enade” as well as “The Great Gate at Kiev.”

Some of the movements ben-efited from the ensemble’s knack for speed and lightness, most notably “Tuileries” and “Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks,” the latter serving as metaphor for the entire evening – many unhatched chicks struggling to break free of their limitations.

I Musici de Montreal – more than a few unhatched chicks
