Vigil honors victims of 2002 Campobello double murder $10K reward for information

by Leah Justice

Marcie Davis, the mother of murder victim Zachary Cunard, said she never would have imagined that she still would not know who murdered her son 10 years later.

Davis held a vigil on Monday, July 16 at her Campobello home to honor her son and Michael “Mickey” McGraw, who were murdered on July 16, 2002 in Campobello.

Almost 50 friends, family and local support group members attended the vigil to release balloons in the air.

Retired Rev. Gerald Turner led the vigil and said he knew (Continued on page 3)

Geologist tells Polk 40-percent slope increases landslide chance

by Leah Justice

The Polk County Planning Board heard facts about landslides during a July 12 meeting, as well as a geologist’s opinion that a 40-percent slope is the point at which the chances of a landslide increase.

Rick Wooten, senior geologist for

geohazards and engineering geology with the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Division of Land Resources, presented data from past landslides around the state. Wooten said landslide damage

Cunard during his time at Holly Springs Baptist Church and also participated in Cunard’s funeral service.

“There’s somebody somewhere that knows something,” Turner said. “I just pray to God that he’ll burden their conscience.

If you know something, speak up.”

Turner reviewed the pain the families of Cunard and McGraw have endured over the past decade by not knowing who murdered the two young men.

“Ten long years the family has suffered,” said Turner. “They’ve agonized. Not only did these people take the lives of those two young men but they ruined the lives of many that loved them.

It’s been a long time; it’s been a very long time.”

He read from Psalm 90 verse 13 and asked, “How long must we wait?”

“We urge, urge, urge some-

body to come forward to ease the pain that’s in their hearts,” Turner ended.

Cunard’s 9-year old son, “Little Zachary,” was born a couple months after his dad’s murder.

He attended the vigil and spoke about his father whom he never met. Zachary shares his father’s name as well as a striking resemblance.

A reporter asked Zachary what he had heard about his dad.

“He was really nice,” the 9-year old responded. “Everybody liked him.”

He said it makes him sad sometimes to think about his dad and that he wants to know what happened to his father, “really bad.”

Following the vigil Davis said the last 10 years have been a roller coaster of emotions. She said she’s gone through grief, then anger and even laughter about the good times she had with her son. Davis raised Cunard alone, saying she still feels guilt over moving him to Campobello about

“And he was murdered in Campobello,” she said.

Davis also spoke of what a

sweet and loving person her son was, with a wonderful personality.

“He gave me mother’s day and father’s day gifts,” Davis said of her son. “I told my husband last night it’s been more emotional this year than any year. It’s unreal it’s been unsolved. It’s scary. I could be in the grocery store and (Continued on page 4)

Cunard and McGraw were found murdered at Cunard’s home located at 1190 Dickson Road in Campobello on July 16, 2002. McGraw’s vehicle was found later that night burning on Old Ballenger Road in Greenville County.

Cunard’s wife, Janice, had been shopping and came home to find her husband and McGraw. According to the police report, Zachary Cunard was found on the floor and McGraw was found on the couch, both deceased with multiple gunshot wounds.

Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Detective William Gary said he has three 5-inch binders of files on the case and a lot of work has been done in the last 10 years. Gary said at least two people went inside Cunard’s residence on the night of the murder and investigators think the crime happened quickly.

and losses can be avoided. He said most insurance policies do not cover damage to homes from landslides.

Since 1916, there have been at least 46 deaths in North Carolina related to landslides, according to Wooten’s data. Between 1990 and 2011, 57 landslides occurred in the state, resulting in six fatalities, with 40 structures destroyed or condemned and 24 structures damaged.

Studies also show that between 1990 and 2011 there was one fatality and 24 structures were destroyed or condemned as a result of landslides on slopes altered by human activity, or on modified slopes.

Approximately 52 locations in Polk County have had landslide activity, Wooten said. He mentioned the Saluda grade railroad that gave way in 2004 and the instability of Chocolate Drop Mountain.

He also said recurring weather patterns trigger landslides in western North Carolina. For example, he said, landslides can be expected when an area receives 5 inches of rain in a 24-hour period.

The biggest storm known in Watauga County occurred in 1940 and triggered 1,200 landslides and 14 deaths. Wooten said tracking past landslide data is important to see where they occurred. He said since 1940 in Watauga County 136 structures have been built in the tracks of the landslide.

Other landslide areas were

reviewed, including Maggie Valley, where Wooten said there were some warning signs prior to a slide. He said a 2010 landslide took a two-story house and “turned it into sticks.”

There were about 400 landslides in western North Carolina during the heavy rains of Hurricanes Frances and Ivan in 2004, Wooten said.

“The good news is it’s not all that hard to avoid damage from landslides,” Wooten told the planning board. “It’s kind of pay now or pay later.”

The planning board asked Wooten at what point of slope planners need to start being concerned.

Wooten said at 40 percent (or 22 degrees) is when there begins to be an increase for slides.

“That’s not to say all 40 percent slopes are unstable,” Wooten said. “That’s the point the stability can be affected. A lot of times it’s a combination of things.”

The planning board has been struggling to determine an exact slope at which restrictions should be placed on building. The planning board is working to draft a unified development ordinance (UDO) that combines all the county’s ordinances, including its mountainside and ridgeline protection ordinance (MRPO), which formerly placed restrictions on any commercial building above 1,650 feet in elevation.

A UDO committee approved a draft UDO ordinance earlier this year that eliminated the eleva(Continued on page 6)

Champ, the therapy dog

Champ, the therapy dog, died peacefully on July 16 from complications of spondylosis. He was 10 years old.

Champ was found wandering the streets of Mississippi as a youngster, and was saved by Cathy Brooks of Mississippi Great Pyrenees Rescue. He had been eating garbage, had been hit by a car and was high heartworm positive. He was treated in Mississippi and came to live in Tryon with his humans, Dana Mayer and Emmy Summers.

He had been here only one day when he had to have his stomach pumped after learning the joys of counter-surfing. He ingested an entire rotisserie chicken, complete with foil, and immediately began his long and happy association with the wonderful staff at Landrum Veterinary Hospital.

He loved them dearly, and all o w e d m a n y necessary indignities over the years with a reasonably good attitude. He paid the price again when he ate eight large frozen yeast rolls that were rising on the counter. He wrote about that incident and his subsequent distaste for hydrogen peroxide in his Tryon Daily Bulletin column.

Champ sailed through obedience classes but earned his Canine Good Citizen certification by the skin of his teeth, only deigning to “come” at the last possible moment.

From there he went through more training and became a registered therapy dog with Therapy Dogs Inc. and continued his association with them until his death. He was excited when his therapy dog vest was produced, and was always the perfect gentleman while wearing it.

music, a bit o’ grog and farewells

Champ loved his work. He visited the S.C. School for the Deaf and Blind, and for years he attended the Special Olympics hosted by Furman University to cheer on the athletes. His favorite places were local, however, and he loved visiting Laurelhurst, Laurelwood, Tryon Estates, White Oak, Magnolia Manor and a number of other assisted living facilities and hospitals. He visited every school in Polk County several times to help spread the word about humane education. He loved seeing the kids and insisted on greeting everyone, including the shy ones who hung back. He attended many public events, did some costume judging and enjoyed numerous meet-andgreets with his many fans. Everyone loved the big, fluffy, white dog with the huge brown eyes, and he loved them back.

Champ was the official “spokesdog” for Foothills Humane Society, whose people and animals were always near and dear to his heart.

fair, and was a relatively good sport about his annual photo shoot with Santa. He wrote letters and articles for and about the shelter for years, and spoke with pride of the shelter in his monthly column in the Tryon Daily Bulletin.

Champ’s relaxed, friendly attitude, good manners and love of good company (not to mention food) ensured him friends of many species, excepting coyotes, for whom he held a profound enmity, and turkey vultures, who, quite simply, appalled him. He enforced a strict no-fly zone within a 500yard radius of the house.

In addition to his humans, Champ leaves canine family Sunny, Nick and Benny GoodDog; Ginger, the “dog next door”; several sad but semi-relieved cats; and a host of friends and fans. His huge heart and special spirit will be greatly missed.

Let the music move you - right into Tryon Fine Arts Center Always known for their fantastical storylines and imaginative worlds of color, whimsy and quirky characters, Dr. Seuss’ tales come to life before our eyes beginning this Thursday, July 19 at the Tryon Fine Arts Center.

“Seussical: the Musical” attracts to the stage a host of energetic youth ready to display their talents in a delightfully fun way.

This is more than a push for you to go see another production. What the community needs to understand about this performance in particular are the lessons our local youth have learned by being a part of the summer youth theater program.

Not only has it likely brought some kids out of their shells, but it’s taught them responsibility to others - their fellow cast and crew rely on them to show up on time and be prepared. It has also taught them valuable skills they might use down the road - public speaking, organization and even construction skills as they helped build sets.

These youth have been anything but idle this summer as they prepared to dazzle the community. They have in fact been learning valuable life lessons in the same tradition as hundreds of other kids who have gone through the summer youth program since 1970.

This year’s show opens Thursday, July 19 and runs through Sunday, July 22. For information about “Seussical,” call 828859-2466 or visit www.tltifo.org.

Most states do allow individuals to have licensed concealed carry permits if they pass a background check and an eight-hour oral and range test to show they understand the law and know how to handle a gun.

Obviously, there are varying limits in each state as to where one may not be allowed to carry a gun.

However, when a business establishment has the right to determine if they want to limit gun access to their facility, it just doesn’t make sense to me for them to openly advertise their policy.

Now they don’t have to go to the length that the Chappell Bank did, but they really should think twice about advertising that they’re open to be robbed by putting an anti-gun sign in the window.

Tryon take care of Lake Lanier To the editor: In reference to the July 2 article, “lake Lanier overrun with algae, users say,” we wish to make three points: 1. The citizens in the Town of Tryon actually use Lake Lanier daily – every time they wash dishes, bathe, prepare a meal, etc.

Please note that Lake Lanier residents pay the highest of three tiers of billing for water with no say so in this issue.

2. We were raised to believe you take care of your belongings. The Town of Tryon owns the lakebed and the water. It seems it should be the town’s responsibility to take care of it.

3. It appears the Tryon Town Council is just as helpful, creative and effective in dealing with this issue as they are in helping resurrect a dying downtown area.

There are two interesting points associated with this hand; the bidding and how to play a given suit card combination. The auction is based on the 2/1 game force bidding system and most likely is the main reason a slam can be bid without the 32 to 33 point requirement normally required for slam.

Let me explain some of the key bids: 1. 2 Diamonds is a game forcing bid which allows

for a “slow” auction.

2. 3 Spades sets the trump suit irrespective of what North may envision and asks for a cue bid by partner.

3. 4 Clubs shows the Club Ace. 4. 4NT is Roman Key Card for the Diamond suit since the solid Spade suit texture is a known quantity to both partners.

5. 5 Spades shows 2 Aces and Queen of Diamonds.

Based on this information, South has a very good “picture” of his partner’s key card holdings and bids slam.

West leads the King of Clubs and now it’s up to declarer to bring home the well bid slam. After winning with the Ace in dummy he realizes that after drawing trumps he must bring home the Diamond suit with no losers in order to get two discards for his remaining small Clubs.

Remember declarer doesn’t have the luxury of seeing all four hands so he must envision a lay of the cards that is geared for the possibility of a 4-1 break. Proper technique is for declarer to lead the 9 from his hand, a sort of unblocking play, and go up with the Ace in the dummy. When he next plays small from the dummy and East shows out he wins with his King. It’s now an open book situation for him to lead Diamond 5 and finesse West out of his Jack, ending in the dummy where he wants to be for his Club discards.
