Tryon town council fires police officerby Leah Justice

Tryon Town Council fired police corporal J.J. Sauve this week.

Sauve told News Channel 13 that he was fired for an inappro-priate racial remark he made in

2008. He said he was disciplined for it then and remained on the force and he does not know why the incident was brought up again.

Interim Tryon Town Manager Joey Davis said the town cannot

make any comments regarding a personnel issue.

Davis did say that Sauve was employed with the town police department for four years

Columbus council fails to vote on golf cart ordinanceby Leah Justice

Golf carts will not be allowed in the Town of Columbus anytime soon.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, June 21 and failed to make a motion to create a golf cart ordinance.

Columbus Township resident Sandra Gillie approached the town in May, asking officials to consider allowing golf carts on some town roads. Council agreed to research other towns that allow golf cart use and what it would take to create an ordinance in Columbus.

Columbus staff researched other local ordinances from the City of Saluda and the Village of Marvin (in Union County), which allow golf cart use.

Town staff discovered that the

town could individually enforce golf cart use within town limits because of a 2009 law passed by the N.C. General Assembly. Prior to the new law, towns had to receive permission from the state through a local bill in order to regulate golf cart use.

When the issue was brought up during councils June 21 meeting, the proposal died for lack of a mo-tion. During the June 21 meeting, Mayor Eric McIntyre said council was ready to vote on the proposal, but no motion was made to ap-prove the proposal, nor was there any discussion.

The Town of Tryon is also informally looking into the use of golf carts within town limits, but no discussions have occurred publicly on the issue.

AC unit stolen from antique mallby Leah Justice

The Tryon Police Depart-ment is asking for the publics help in solving the larceny of the air conditioning unit from the roof of the Tryon Antique Mall.

Tryon Police Chief Jeff Ar-rowood said sometime between 5 p.m. Sunday, June 24 and 8 a.m. Monday, June 25 someone stole the large commercial unit off the roof of the building.

Tryon Antique Mall is lo-cated in the shopping center at the state line off U.S. 176.

Arrowood said it is not known how the suspect(s) ac-cessed the roof to take the unit. Arrowood also said most likely the unit was stolen to sell for the metal, a trend that has been oc-curring in South Carolina.

The suspect(s) will face lar-ceny charges if apprehended.

Anyone who may have seen suspicious activity at the shop-ping center Sunday night is urged to contact the Tryon Police Department at 828-859-9195.



Youngest team does well at Blue Ridge BBQ & Music FestivalFestival organizers arent

supposed to have favorites, but they all admit it was hard not to be pulling for Hogs & Kisses at the winners ceremony for the 19th Annual Blue Ridge BBQ & Music Festival.

Hogs & Kisses, the young-est team ever to enter the event, consists of two 14-year-old girls, Allison Herrmann and Madison Arrowood, who participated in every possible category in the cookoff that annually draws some of the most experienced cook teams in the country.

Kansas City Barbecue Society rules require that to be consid-ered for the championship, a team must enter four required categories: pork shoulder, pork ribs, beef brisket and chicken. In addition, at Tryon there are three optional categories: whole hog, Anything But (any entre but the four required categories), and dessert. Only a few teams

undertake the daunting task of whole hog, which means exactly what it says: put an entire hog on a slow fire and cook itnot only until it is donebut until it is deliciously edible. But Herrmann and Arrowood did it.

And when the first category, dessert, was announced, they were in second place. While they were still in shock over that, they heard they took second place in the Whole Hog competition. There was a standing ovation, but according to Herrmanns dad, Justin Hembree, they didnt even know it. They were just trying to grasp what they had accom-plishedgoing up against the best of the best in the toughest category in their first outing and coming home winners.

Hembree and Arrowoods father, Jeff Arrowood, Tryons chief of police, assisted the girls.


But they did nothing more than cut meat and stoke fires. All of the cooking decisions and the hands-on preparation were the girls responsibility.

Hembree said they made a point of doing everything in plain view, so no one would suspect that it was actually the dads doing the work. Other cookers were stopping by to wish the girls

good luck, and they could easily tell who was doing the cooking.

Asked what was most excit-ing for the girls, Hembree didnt hesitate: It was the Whole Hog, he said. They were intimidated at first, but then they got caught up in the enormity of what they were doing the rubbing the spices on, the injecting, dealing with the Pig Police (contest of-ficials who oversee the prepara-tion of each hog) and then the building of the boxes to take to

the judges. They loved it!According to Hembree, the

only disappointing thing was that the judges didnt seem to like the orange glaze they made for their chicken and rib entries. But that disappointment didnt last long.

Hembree said theyre already looking forward to the next out-ing, which may be the first ever Spruce Pine contest in July. They also plan to enter at the Fourth Annual Future Legends of

BBQ competition to defend the championship they won last year that launched their competitive careers. This years event will be held on Oct. 13 at Camp Monda-min in Tuxedo, N.C.

And what will they do with their winnings?

Well, Hembree said, I heard them talking about saving up for a hot pink Jambo Pit!

Vladimir of Kiev was of a noble class of Vikings, whose people settled among the natives inhabiting the river cities of Rus-sia. They came in longboats, first to trade, then to protect farmers and tradesmen from the roving bands of tribesmen along the Steppes of Russia and then to rule. The mercenaries became managers. Vladimirs father was not a Christian and even returned from a raid bringing home to Vladimirs older brother a wife (she was not only a captive but already a nun).

Vladimirs grandmother, Olga, was not always a Chris-tian but originally a widow who protected her power ruthlessly. She murdered 5,000, seeking revenge on those who had killed her husband. In one city she had laid siege to, she feigned mercy and the only tribute she required to leave them unharmed was every bird in every house. They were collected and brought to her and when the citizens were rejoicing that night because peace

had been negotiated, she had her men wrap sulfur in cloth bags to the legs of the birds and then light the bags on fire and release the birds. The birds returned to their homes, catching the whole city in a tremendous blaze.

Nevertheless, she became a Christian and asked the Church in Germany to send missionaries to her. Her son thwarted her plans and she died before she would see her city, Kiev, turn to the Gospel.

Eventually, Vladimir became a prince of his own charge, Novgorod, and his father died, murdered returning from a raid. Vladimirs brother then began to fight his competing brethren and Vladimir disappeared, perhaps with Olaf I of Norway.

During his raiding days, Olaf had a fascinating conversion. He was baptized by a hermit living on the Scilly Isles off the coast of Cornwall because Olaf was impressed by the hermits pow-ers of prophetic perception. Olaf

continued a life of raiding and attacked England in hopes of extracting some tribute.

At the famous Battle of Mal-don Bridge, he was invited onto the mainland for a fair fight with a Christian Earl, who could have fought Olaf off with just a few men blocking a narrow passageway. This fair play brought death to the Earl, and the Anglo-Saxon warriors refused to retreat and chose instead to die with their lord. King Aelthelred the Unready parlayed and paid tribute to Olaf and then Olaf, for some unknown reason (was it the fair play?) was confirmed by the Bishop of Winchester, the Anglo-Saxon King himself standing up as his sponsor.

This confirmation seems to have been the turning point for Olaf. He went to Dublin and then took missionaries to Norway and started preaching in churches there. He was elected as King of Norway in 995 A.D. He visited

Evangelism, Viking style Evangelism(continued from page 8)


Iceland and Greenland, using his post-election tour, called an Ericsgata, as an opportunity to spread Christianity. For his pains, within five years of his accession, he was murdered just like his father.

Vladimir returned to Russia after two years with his own retinue of warriors and ousted his brother, taking his brothers wife, the nun, as his own. He then continued to dialogue with Constantinople, who needed mercenaries to put down an insurrection. He demanded that the Emperors sister be given to him in marriage if he helped. He willingly accepted baptism as part of the negotiations. Of course, he stopped his sexual relations with all his other wives after the marriage. (Conversion is often messy and requires breaking associations and friendships in ways that seem unfair at the time.)

What are some things we can learn here? The contrasts between paganism and Christianity take some time to realize. The influ-ences are various and often take years to come to fruition. The

Vikings had a practice when burying a warrior in a burning ship of taking one of the wives and passing her around to the male relatives of the deceased, before putting her onboard to be engulfed in flame as well. Yet, for most Scandinavians, this is all they knew. It took a while for some to see the virtues of a new worldview. When they did change worldviews, though, it was often drastic. Vladimir or-dered the idols to be torn down, beaten with rods, spit upon, and dragged over dung. But when you finally realize that you have been lied to by the World, the Flesh and the Devil, you tend to be a little irritated and not a little zealous.

And remember, Olga may have felt she died a failure, but her grandson turned to Christ and converted her hometown. The hermit on that island may have baptized only one person, but that converted murderer, Olaf, helped convert thousands of Norwegians.

The BeauTy of auTumn Fall, or autumn, is the third of four seasons that we experience in a calendar year. The first day of fall coincides with the autumnal equinox, when the sun is directly over the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. In the Northern Hemi-sphere, the autumnal equinox occurs around September 23, and in the Southern Hemisphere, it occurs around March 21. For this reason, au-tumn in the Northern Hemisphere falls in the months of September, October, November, and sometimes early December. In the Southern Hemisphere, the autumn months are just the opposite; they occur late March through early June. The reason for the difference is due to

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather. Oktoberfest is celebrated in many parts of the world, and Thanksgiving is celebrated in November in the United States. The American football season begins in early fall, as well as many other sport seasons. Outdoor activi-ties, such as hay rides and camp fires, are popular. Animals begin to gather food in the fall and make preparations for the winter months. Birds begin to migrate south for the winter, and farmers harvest their crops. The scenery changes as the leaves turn vivid colors of orange and red before they (and acorns) fall off the trees.

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

The human tongue is responsible for three major func-tions: the sense of taste, to aid in speech, and to help digest food. The tongue is comprised mainly of muscle cells, along with glands, fatty tissue, and sensory cells (taste buds). The tongues roll in digestion is the delivery of food into the esophagus; when you swallow it helps to push the food down. To aid in speech, the tongue touches different parts of the mouth, such as the teeth, or the roof of the mouth, to create different sounds. The sense of taste allows us to enjoy, or to stay away from, certain foods. The tongue has tiny receptors in it called taste buds. These taste buds allow us to sense the five types of taste: sweet, sour (or acid), bitter, salty, and the recently discovered umami (found mainly in Japanese cuisine). It has long been theorized that certain areas of the tongue are responsible for tasting different things. Scientists have now discovered that this is not entirely true. Certain areas of the tongue are better at sensing different tastes, but all

taste buds can sense the five types of taste. The tip of the tongue is best at tasting sweets. The sides of our tongue are good at tasting sour things, such as lemons. The base of the tongue is best at tasting bit-ter foods, and salt is best tasted right behind the tip, or just beyond the sweet taste buds. Umami, which is the taste of amino acids, or glutamate, has not been placed on the taste map, since it is newly discov-ered. As time goes by, taste buds diminish in number; hence, a younger person has a stronger sense of taste than an elderly person. This is most likely the reason that many adults enjoy things with stronger tastes, such as coffee, than children who prefer sweets do.

The Island of Madagascar The African Island of Madagascar, located in the Indian Ocean, is approximately 250 miles away from the African mainland. The country closest to the island is Mozambique and the two countries are separated by a body of water in the Indian Ocean known as the Mozambique Channel. Madagascar is the fourth largest island in the world, measur-ing almost 1,000 miles in length and 350 miles wide at its widest point. The Capital of Madagascar is Antananarivo. The Republic of Madagascar also includes several smaller, adjacent islands. The island has several different climate zones which include the tropical rains of the northwest, the dry southern area, and wet and hot western area. The island has mountains, ridges, and valleys that separate these different areas. The tallest moun-tain found in Madagascar is Mount Maromokotro, which is 9,436 feet above sea level. The people of Madagascar are considered to be members of the African community, but their origins are more closely related to Indonesia. They are referred to as being Mala-gasy--a name that refers to both the people and the native language. The other official language is French. Madagascars primary industry is farming; rice is the primary food staple. Vanilla and coffee are produced for export; Madagascar produces more vanilla than any other country in the world. Today, Madagascar is a multi-party republic, but it was at one time a French territory. Perhaps the most famous inhabitants of Madagascar are not people, but the animals that are native to the island. The lemurs of Madagascar are small, tree-dwelling primates that are not found naturally in any other habitat in the world. Another animal, found only on the Island of Madagascar, is the fossa. The fossa is a meat-eating animal, much like a large cat. It is one of the lemurs natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

Money, or currency, is something that is used as a medium of exchange. Over the centuries, money has come in all different shapes and sizes. In the United States today, the dollar is the primary form of currency in circulation. Until recent decades, most types of monies have almost always been made from, or backed by, a precious metal. This means that the coins themselves have been made from silver or gold, or that there were precious metals in a reserve to back up the worth of the money. In 1900, the United States Government passed the Gold Standard Act. For every paper dollar that existed, a certain amount of gold was kept in storage by the U.S. Government. In 1933, the Unit-ed States began moving away from the gold standard, because it restricted the number of dollars that could be produced. Todays dollars, like most currencies, are called fiat money which means they are backed by peoples faith in government and not metals. Every country uses some form of currency. Many countries have dropped their own form of currency in favor of using the American dollar. This is known as dollarization. In Europe, the primary form of currency in 16 major countries since 1999 is the euro. The United Kingdom still uses the pound system. Canada and Australia call their currencies a dollar like the United States, but they are separate from the U.S. system. Other coun-tries have different names for their money. Brazil has the real; Mexico has the peso; China has the yuan; Japan has the yen; Russia has the ruble; and South Africa has the rand.

The Smithsonian Institute

A Special Thank You To All Our Sponsors!

The Smithsonian Institute is a network of museums and research and educational institutes that is managed by the United States Government, with its headquarters in Washington, D.C. It was established in 1846, after several years of debate within Congress over the funds donated for the establishment. The Institutions namesake, James Smithson, was a British scientist and mineralogist, for whom the mineral ore smithsonite is also named after. Upon his death in 1829, his will bequeathed his riches to his sole heir, a nephew, with a provision: should his nephew die without an heir, I then bequeath the whole of my property...to the United States of America to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Insti-tution, an Establishment for the increase & diffusion of knowledge.... The motivation behind the donation, which was over $500,000 (an astronomi-cal amount at the time), has been called a mystery, because he had never visited America, nor did he have any ties with the United States. Today, the establishment is run by a board of regents governed by the Vice President, the Chief Justice, six members of Congress, and nine citizens. It is home to many significant pieces of American history and has several locations, including the Postal Museum, the Portrait Gallery, the Air and Space Mu-seum, and the Natural History Museum.

Vladimir of Kiev was of a noble class of Vikings, whose people settled among the natives inhabiting the river cities of Rus-sia. They came in longboats, first to trade, then to protect farmers and tradesmen from the roving bands of tribesmen along the Steppes of Russia and then to rule. The mercenaries became managers. Vladimirs father was not a Christian and even returned from a raid bringing home to Vladimirs older brother a wife (she was not only a captive but already a nun).

Vladimirs grandmother, Olga, was not always a Chris-tian but originally a widow who protected her power ruthlessly. She murdered 5,000, seeking revenge on those who had killed her husband. In one city she had laid siege to, she feigned mercy and the only tribute she required to leave them unharmed was every bird in every house. They were collected and brought to her and when the citizens were rejoicing that night because peace

had been negotiated, she had her men wrap sulfur in cloth bags to the legs of the birds and then light the bags on fire and release the birds. The birds returned to their homes, catching the whole city in a tremendous blaze.

Nevertheless, she became a Christian and asked the Church in Germany to send missionaries to her. Her son thwarted her plans and she died before she would see her city, Kiev, turn to the Gospel.

Eventually, Vladimir became a prince of his own charge, Novgorod, and his father died, murdered returning from a raid. Vladimirs brother then began to fight his competing brethren and Vladimir disappeared, perhaps with Olaf I of Norway.

During his raiding days, Olaf had a fascinating conversion. He was baptized by a hermit living on the Scilly Isles off the coast of Cornwall because Olaf was impressed by the hermits pow-ers of prophetic perception. Olaf

continued a life of raiding and attacked England in hopes of extracting some tribute.

At the famous Battle of Mal-don Bridge, he was invited onto the mainland for a fair fight with a Christian Earl, who could have fought Olaf off with just a few men blocking a narrow passageway. This fair play brought death to the Earl, and the Anglo-Saxon warriors refused to retreat and chose instead to die with their lord. King Aelthelred the Unready parlayed and paid tribute to Olaf and then Olaf, for some unknown reason (was it the fair play?) was confirmed by the Bishop of Winchester, the Anglo-Saxon King himself standing up as his sponsor.

This confirmation seems to have been the turning point for Olaf. He went to Dublin and then took missionaries to Norway and started preaching in churches there. He was elected as King of Norway in 995 A.D. He visited

Evangelism, Viking style Evangelism(continued from page 8)


Iceland and Greenland, using his post-election tour, called an Ericsgata, as an opportunity to spread Christianity. For his pains, within five years of his accession, he was murdered just like his father.

Vladimir returned to Russia after two years with his own retinue of warriors and ousted his brother, taking his brothers wife, the nun, as his own. He then continued to dialogue with Constantinople, who needed mercenaries to put down an insurrection. He demanded that the Emperors sister be given to him in marriage if he helped. He willingly accepted baptism as part of the negotiations. Of course, he stopped his sexual relations with all his other wives after the marriage. (Conversion is often messy and requires breaking associations and friendships in ways that seem unfair at the time.)

What are some things we can learn here? The contrasts between paganism and Christianity take some time to realize. The influ-ences are various and often take years to come to fruition. The

Vikings had a practice when burying a warrior in a burning ship of taking one of the wives and passing her around to the male relatives of the deceased, before putting her onboard to be engulfed in flame as well. Yet, for most Scandinavians, this is all they knew. It took a while for some to see the virtues of a new worldview. When they did change worldviews, though, it was often drastic. Vladimir or-dered the idols to be torn down, beaten with rods, spit upon, and dragged over dung. But when you finally realize that you have been lied to by the World, the Flesh and the Devil, you tend to be a little irritated and not a little zealous.

And remember, Olga may have felt she died a failure, but her grandson turned to Christ and converted her hometown. The hermit on that island may have baptized only one person, but that converted murderer, Olaf, helped convert thousands of Norwegians.

the distance from the sun that each hemisphere is located. The farther away from the sun, the cooler and shorter the days will become. Fall is a very pleasant time of year. The temperatures are cooler than summer, but they are not cold. Many activities occur at this time because of the nice weather.
