The weather Wednesday, high
58, low 28, hum. 58 percent,
and by 7 a.m. Thursday .02
inches of rain had fallen.
Every once in awhile, you
hear people mistakenly describe
local issues as though they were
peculiar to Polk County. Take
the gun safety law recently
debated here. Some folks
acted as if they thought our
board of commissioners was off
in left field passing ordinances
willy nilly "every time they get
a complaint." In fact, the board
was right in the mainstream of
American thought.
In his column, reprinted in the
Spartanburg Herald-Journal
Thursday, Ray Sasser, a colum
nist for the Dallas (TX.) Morn
ing News made a prediction-
"By the year 2000, I predict
we will see radical steps taken
to eliminate hunting accidents
and slob hunters... We must
take steps to eliminate the neg
ative aspects of this timeless
sport we call hunting. The gen
eral public docs not understand
hunting in the 1990s and shakes
its collective head in disbelief at
hunters shooting one another
and violating game laws.. The
time is now for hunters to stress
responsibility for their sport."

Katharine Boerner Rindgc
At Tokpela Art
There arc new energies at Art
for January in Tryon at Tokpela
Gallery. Across from the post
office arc selected paintings by
Katharine Boerner Rindge.
A local artist, Rindge's earlier
work was las seen here at the
Upstairs in 1986, and at the
Tryon Fine arts Center in 1982.
A painter for 25 years, her
canvasses have been collected
and shown in museums and
galleries across the U. S. since
1967.
Fellow Tryon artist John Ros-
mini calls Rindge a "thinking
artist"..."She expresses through
form and color, the poetry and
lyricism of intellectual
thought."
To view these abstract paint
ings is also to enjoy them emo
tionally. The marriage of the
two, thought and feeling, in this
work is awesome and success
ful.
Tokpela is open Monday
through Friday 9 to 5 p. m . or
by a PP°intment call
