Area children write letters to Santa Kindergartener Makenzie has a tall, but heartfelt order for Santa this year. Over the next few weeks the Bulletin will be publishing letters to Santa written by students from our area’s elementary schools. Most children report that they have been very good this year, express curiosity about how the reindeer are doing, and are very specific about exactly what they want under their tree Christmas morning.

THE WORLD’S SMALLEST DAILY NEWSPAPER

TACS presents Crafts & Conversation Series: Pick a shape, any shape, what shape are you? Tryon Arts and Crafts School will be kicking off a new lunchtime lecture series on Dec. 10, between 12 and 1 p.m. at the School’s Annex Building. The series was developed to provide an inside look into the art of craft for all within our community, and the first speaker will be international artist and author Marilyn Doheny speaking on the thought-provoking topic of shapes and their effect

on our lives. Audience members are invited to bring lunch or a snack and beverages will be provided. Marilyn will speak on the Universal Language of Shapes. This language identifies 147 diverse shapes – each with its own specific “universal” meaning. The language is found in all civilizations and all cultures and is embedded in our human DNA. When distilled from 147

shapes to five residual “essential” shapes – it becomes manageable, memorable and a useful way to communicate with others and ourselves. Come hear more — this lecture will be informative and entertaining, and full of audience participation! Marilyn will highlight her talk/presentation with examples of these shapes in jewelry, pottery, clothing, weaving quilts and sculpting.

Bring your lunch and “join the conversation,” to be enchanted and inspired by Marilyn’s quilting examples and her passion for creative, artistic expression. TACS is located at 373 Harmon Field Rd., Tryon. Call 828-859-8323 or visit TryonArtsandCrafts.org for more information. - Submitted by Cathy Fischer

The board voted 7-2 to reinstate all non-curriculum based student clubs as implement well as a new policy on clubs, including that some clubs will need parental permission. During the board’s November meeting, the school board heard both support for the school and the LGBT club as well as comments against the club, including from some local churches. The LLCA school board allowed comments during Monday’s special meeting as well, but after the board voted to reinstate the clubs. LLCA parent Frances Brown following Monday’s meeting said she is very excited for all LLCA students regarding the board’s decision. “We felt very confident that the board would make the right

TRYON DAILY BULLETIN /

THE WORLD’S SMALLEST DAILY NEWSPAPER

decision and they clearly have,” said Brown. Following is the LLCA’s statement issued regarding its clubs: “From the beginning, LLCA has enjoyed the benefits of curriculum based clubs as well as non-curricular clubs. Indeed, we consider clubs to be beneficial to our students. Being involved in a club is often a student’s first opportunity to step into positions of leadership, to strengthen a particular skill set, or to increase their knowledge in a personal interest. A school club is one part of the larger school community. An individual club does not represent the entire community nor does it require everyone’s participation. A school club can provide a safe place for our students to learn how to navigate the waters of future civic involvement. Our mission is to create lifelong learners, thoughtful and ar-

ticulate young adults, and good citizens. These are character traits that can be strengthened and enriched by participation in school clubs. We have adopted policies governing the formation and operation of clubs and we expect that all clubs will be treated fairly under these policies, although these guidelines reflect that not all clubs are appropriate for all grade levels. To the students who are currently in the newly formed gay straight alliance, or any student who may wish to participate in the future, we respect you as individuals and support you as members of our school family. We support your club just as we do the chess club, Raptors for Christ and all other clubs that exist or may form under our policy guidelines. Our school is a place of inclusion, not exclusion. To the families of elementary and middle school students who are concerned about the

WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 2015

age at which your children will be exposed to mature concepts of gender identity and sexuality, we respect your concerns and, consistent with our approach to our curriculum, are committed to operating the school in a manner that appropriately segregates the activities of the different grade levels. Our board aims to be deliberative and to always act in the best interest of the school as a whole, and rarely is that a task that improved with speed. To all of our LLCA families and extended community, we are grateful for your patience and confidence as we’ve worked to develop an appropriate framework for clubs to operate in the school.” The new policy on the school’s clubs can be viewed on the school’s website under news items at llca.teamcfa.school. Students from Polk County comprise 20 percent of the charter school’s student body.

US 176 blocked Sunday by mudslide By Leah Justice leah.justice@tryondailybulletin.com

U.S. 176 was blocked between Saluda and Tryon Sunday evening because of a mudslide. The Tryon and Saluda Fire Departments were dispatched to the scene at 7:11 p.m., which was near the Twin bridges on Hwy. 176. The mudslide was located just inside Tryon’s fire district. The N.C. Department of Transportation (DOT) also responded. The road was closed to both sides of traffic for approximately four hours until the road was cleared, according to Tryon Fire Chief Joey Davis. DOT crews were scheduled to return to the scene on Monday to clean debris piles from the sides of the road and to stabilize the area, so traffic delays were expected.

Who are the players at TubaChristmas concert? So, who will be playing in the 18th concert of TubaChristmas, on Dec. 5, 1:30 p.m., at Polk County High School? If you look over the stage you may find tubas and euphoniums played by students from middle school through college and university. There will also be adults from every walk in life. Some of them have been playing in local

bands and others had to stop for their working years. After retiring, when it is time to pick up old hobbies, it may be 40 years since they used the mouthpiece. Ages have run from 9 to 99 years and last year the longest distance traveled was 114 miles. The soloist for “O Holy Night” will be Mr. Alexander Canup from Western Carolina University. He

will be accompanied by Mr. John Gardner from Tryon. Gardner has been active in the musical life of Polk County since 2009 as a pianist, organist, and choral singer. He serves on the board of directors of the Foothills Music Club and has appeared in their public musical programs. He sings in the bass section of the Community Chorus, which will present its an-

nual Christmas concert on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 13. All of this music is under the direction of Jamie Hafner, from Brevard. This is his second year in this position. Come, smile, sing and enjoy the start of the holiday season at TubaChristmas, at the Polk County High School auditorium. - Submitted by Betsy Zeek

Thanksgiving at Landrum First Baptist

At First Baptist Church of Landrum, Thanksgiving Day was humming with activities. Every year First Baptist Church offers a free Thanksgiving dinner to everyone. The Community Room was open for sharing a meal, conversation and take out with delivery to shut-ins. Starting days before, church volunteers start preparing for more than 600 dinners. Volunteers not only cook the turkeys and all the fixings, they also bake desserts and create festive decorations on each table. Pastor Mark Bishop said, “We want to pass on to our community what we have been blessed with over the years, and show the love of Christ in a practical way.” (Submitted by Anne Regan)

The sky was bright and the temperature was cold for the start of the day of the FENCE Fall Hunter Pace and Trail Ride on Nov. 15. Heavy coats were shed and replaced with light vests in hopes of a big warmup before riders and their mounts took to the trails. Some of the Trail Horses even thought it was their day to be racehorses as they traversed on the Steeplechase Course. Riders returning after their tour of the course were reporting that the trails were magnificent! The trails were beautifully designed and prepped Dot Moyer, Carol Ten Broek and Ann Swift. This ride took riders to some different areas that they had not ridden before. Riders reported that the arrow signs helped tremendously. The directional arrows guiding those into FENCE who haven’t been there before was a great help as well. The landowner hosts were Mike Frye, Karen Graham, Larry and Sondra Hodge, David and Shelly Contin Hubbs, Bill and Kathy Jan-

Registration was at the FENCE Show Office which was nice and toasty on a cold morning. Martha Love, Dana Zygmont, Marilyn Yike, and Jackie Lewis handled the entries very nicely. They made sure riders signed all of the paperwork. Jim Zygmont, Debra Carton, and Andy Foster did a stellar job of parking all of the trailers for an easy exit. It’s amazing how many rigs can be parked in the lots! Even with the rain earlier the week before, the parking areas were quite dry. Rena and Ross Compton were on duty for traffic. Joey Cabaniss was the timer with his assistant Madeline Clas. Once again Joey joked with the riders while giving directions to make the ride more pleasant. He always

leaves the light on for riders and makes sure they know their rights and lefts! Gretchen Verbonic kept things rolling, offering assistance where needed. Riders were greeted at the Check Point by Christian Demeniens, Laurel Pyatt, Martha Lott, and Sue Carrier. They supplied the riders with some nice cold water, apple juice, and /or some very nice Port. After the three minute rest, riders where sent on their way. A lunch of BBQ sandwiches and BBQ plates, as well as hotdogs, hamburgers and ham and cheese sandwiches was set up under the pavilion and was provided by Foothills BBQ. Included were some baked beans and slaw. The trail was 8.5 miles and took riders across creeks and through the woods to wide open fields. The scenery was stunning, which brought out several wonderful photo ops. There was the wonderful cross country jumps field with filled water hazard as riders traversed the (FENCE CONTINUED ON PAGE 20)

Obituaries

Wilma Ann “Billie” (Murphy) Gardner Wilma Ann (Murphy) Gardner died of heart failure on Saturday, Nov. 28, 2015 in Jacksonville, Fla. surrounded by her daughter and son, her daughterin-law and son-in-law, her hospice nurse and yet another dog whose affections she stole from a hapless family member. “Billie” was the second of three daughters born to Mary Gertrude Casey Murphy and William Eugene Murphy. Her grandparents were Johanna and Edward Casey of Rouseville, Pa. and Jane and Peter Murphy of Jersey City, N.J. Her sisters, who are no longer living, were Johanna Patricia (Murphy) Sandberg and Mary Lou (Murphy) Huhn (George). Born in February (National Cherry Month), on the eighteenth day in 1931, Billie rightfully loved cherries—from chocolate covered cherries she received from her students, to fresh cherries from the market, to cherry juice she sipped in her final days. Billie was born in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio and raised in Oil City, Pa. where she

graduated in 1949 from Oil City High School. Billie’s father William instilled in her a belief in education. William and his four brothers, sons of Irish immigrants, all graduated from college. Billie graduated from Clarion State Teachers’ College, now known as Clarion University, in 1952. She earned her Master of Education degree from Converse College in 1984. Billie married Robert Henry Gardner, Jr. in July of 1954 in Birmingham, Ala., and they were married for 40 years until his death in 1994. “Billie and Bob” moved to Tryon in 1960 where they raised their family, and where Billie became an active member of

Buy, sell, trade...?

the community until she moved to be near her children in 2005. Billie taught school for many years, the majority of which were served in North Carolina’s Polk County School District as a second grade teacher. She was a member of the Tryon Presbyterian Church where she served as an elder and a Stephen Minister. Billie chaired the Trophy Committee for the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club’s Blockhouse Steeplechase Races for many years. She enjoyed gardening and flower arranging. As a member of the Gay Blades Garden Club, Billie proudly brought home a blue ribbon from the Piedmont Interstate Fair in 1961 for a table arrangement with the theme of Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp. Billie’s children are Robert Henry Gardner IV (Debra) and Leslie Gardner Hankey (Charles). Her grandchildren are Caroline Gardner West (Adam), Claire Warner Gardner, William David Jackson (Generosa), Heather Lyn Brandon, April Hankey Norton (Alex), Charles Winship Hankey, Jr. and Leslie Ord Hankey. Her great-granddaughter is Nell Adley Norton. In addition to her deep Chris-

tian faith, “Billie” assured family members that she also believed in Santa Claus and the Rainbow Bridge—the bridge where her dogs would wait for her in heaven. A list of Billie’s beloved dogs (and one deer) include Amos (the deer), Heini, Caesar, Chumbly, Trooper, Lobo, Zack, Schroeder, Brian Boru, Cookie Dog, Lily, Drambuie, Too Sweet, Puddin’, Pie, Buddy, Boris (her beloved poodle) and Maggie—the final dog whose affections she stole shamelessly from her daughter-in-law. The Reverend Ann Greenwood officiated at a private service on Sunday, Nov. 29, 2015 in Jacksonville, Fla. The family wishes to acknowledge with deep gratitude the care provided to Billie by the Reverend Greenwood and the staff of VITAS Healthcare including their Hospice nurses. Memorials may be made to the Foothills Humane Society, 989 Little Mountain Road, Columbus, North Carolina 28782, foothillshumanesociety.org. Ponte Vedra Valley Funeral Home in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida is in charge of arrangements. - Submitted by Leslie Hankey

O.P. Earle hosts family literacy night

DETAILS , DETAILS , DETAILS .

Cover up…

O.P. Earle Elementary School hosted their annual “Super” Family Literacy Night on Nov. 19, 2015. In keeping with the superhero theme, students were encouraged to come dressed as their favorite superhero. The children rotated through reading and writing stations with fun activities, such as a scavenger hunt, Clue mysteries, MadLibs, and playing games with letters and sight words. The Landrum Public Library dropped by and passed out valuable reading information as well. Our night ended with each child receiving a free book to take home. (Submitted by Dawn Mason)
