“behind-the-scenes” tour, where the students learned about the job of the zookeepers, and received first-hand knowledge about various animals. Numerous parents and family members also went on the field trip, making the experience a true community event.

Before the day of the field trip, students did research on many of the animals they would see at the zoo. Also, each classroom focused on a specific animal, and tried to become experts on their animal. Animal decorations in classrooms and hallways greeted the students when they started school on the first day. Teachers assigned special writing activities, Internet research and related art projects. In addition, students read lots of books about animals.

After the day at the zoo, stu-dents shared their new animal knowledge at a special evening

The project begins at the Co-lumbus Town Limits along Peniel Road and ends at N.C. 108/Mills Street in Columbus.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners approved the state’s secondary road program on July 9. The county agreed to add the Peniel/Walker Street project to this year’s state list and remove a proposed project to widen Collinsville Road. The Collinsville Road widening proj-

lumbus to include curb and drain-age to the state’s Peniel Road/Walker Street resurfacing project so the town can install sidewalks at a later date.

Columbus Town Council has discussed its desire to install a sidewalk from the Holly Hills subdivision along Peniel Road into town. No estimates of when the sidewalk will be installed have been discussed.

Cannon said the current work being done has no detours and that work is being performed utilizing lane closures and proper traffic control.

The state’s budget for the project is $400,000.

The first Tuba Christmas was held in 1998 with 39 participants and was to be held outdoors at the Polk County courthouse.

Rain intervened, and it was moved to the Stearns Audi-torium where the conductor stood on a ta-ble to lead the concert. Since that time the concerts have b e e n h e l d in the Polk County High School auditorium.

Participants have come from both Carolinas, Tennessee, Geor-gia and several other states, with players ranging in age from 11 to the mid 80s and occasionally older.

Traditionally, for many years a student from Western Carolina University’s music department would perform the carol, “O Holy Night.” Dr. Mike Schallock, a tuba specialist from WCU, conducts an annual contest to determine the soloist. This year, for the 15th an-niversary of the Polk County event, a special solo will be performed by P. Blake Cooper of Los Angeles.

Past concerts have been spear-

headed by Stan and Jean Howell who make their home at Tryon Estates. After 15 years they are retiring from their positions and it will be interesting to see how

many people it takes to fill their shoes.

Manfred Wa l t e r o f Mill Springs h a s b e e n Stan’s assis-tant and will take over the reins for fu-ture concerts.

Over the years there has been a “Mystery Fund Raiser” who helps collect monies needed to present this event and keep it free to the public. Support also comes from the Polk County Community Foundation, the Wilhelm Fund, businesses and individuals in Polk County. Each participant receives a free lunch paid for by the Rotary Club.

The Tuba Christmas concert will be held on Dec. 1 at 1:30 p.m., at the Polk County High School. All seats are free. Come and start the month on the right note.

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 tongue’s 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.

Did you know that dogs use their

tongues to sweat? Dogs do not have sweat glands like

humans, so they use their tongues and the pads of their feet to

release heat.

Did you know that it is true that if you stick your tongue to a cold, metal pole in the winter it will stick

to it? Be aware!

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. Madagascar’s 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 lemur’s 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. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s 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.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

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 Institution’s 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.

God always wins.In the light of many recent

developments in our country and throughout the world that statement might cause some hackles to rise and sound like the worst sort of naiveté or some kind of political partisan-ship, but that is not the case. Please read on and hear me out.

Throughout the Bible and all Christian history we have been told that God is in charge; that God is not only omniscient (meaning all-knowing) but is also omnipotent (meaning all-powerful) and that God’s intentions for all the world is that we live in peace, practice justice, be merciful and simply take care of one another (Micah 6:8; James 1:27). The fly in the ointment, so to speak, is that God gave human beings free

will to choose whether or not we will live into God’s inten-tions for us and for our world, or whether we will choose to go our own way.

The prime example of this departure from God’s inten-tions is told in the Book of Genesis wherein Adam and Eve succumb to temptation and make choices that were counter to God’s will for them and the world (Genesis 3). While it is very easy to lay blame and say “the devil made me do it,” in truth it is always our choice to be obedient and to do good or to follow an evil path. The question becomes, “What is the right path and what is the wrong path?”

Our recent presidential elec-

tion process demonstrated that we are a nation of deeply divid-ed opinions on what is the right path to follow. But then, the same is true in all of the Middle East, China, Europe and the rest of the world, developed or undeveloped. Every one of us has an opinion, and as the old saying goes, “Opinions are like belly-buttons; everybody has one and no two are alike.” Among Episcopal clergy we like to joke that if you get 10 priests in a room discussing a controversial subject you will get 20 points of view. On our own we are incapable of doing God’s will if we are doggedly determined to have our way or no way.

In my opinion (see, there it is) it makes little difference

who gets elected president, congressman/woman, senator, governor, counselor, com-missioner, mayor or anything else because the bottom line is always going to be, “Is that person working to bring about peace, practice justice, be mer-ciful and work to see that we take care of one another?” If they do those things they are living into the will of God and God wins, and when God wins we all win.

Peruse, if you will, the entire Old Testament of the Bible and see how often the people and their leaders would choose to disobey God’s will and intentions, follow their own path and end up in griev-ous destruction. It is played out over and over again over centuries and millennia, but we human beings are simply so intent on getting our way that we run headlong to rack

and ruin.The present and most im-

mediate task facing our leaders in these post-election years is to listen to God and set self-interest and personal or political opinions aside and make the definite choice to follow God’s intentions and do God’s will to bring about peace, do justice, be merciful and simply help us take care of one another in a dangerous and unpredictable world. Yes, there will be many opinions on how to do those things, but if we will all listen to God and do our best to follow the values God has set before us all will be well. In the end, God always wins, period. The question is, “Do we want to be there when God does take it all?”

the Holy Cross

Every one of us has an opinion, and as the old saying goes, “Opinions are like belly-buttons; everybody has one and no two are alike.” Among Episcopal clergy we like to joke that if you get 10 priests in a room discussing a controversial subject you will get 20 points of view. On our own we are incapable of doing God’s will if we are doggedly determined to have our way or no way.

In my opinion (see, there it is) it makes little difference

who gets elected president, congressman/woman, senator, governor, counselor, com-missioner, mayor or anything else because the bottom line is always going to be, “Is that person working to bring about peace, practice justice, be mer-ciful and work to see that we take care of one another?” If they do those things they are living into the will of God and God wins, and when God wins we all win.

Peruse, if you will, the entire Old Testament of the Bible and see how often the people and their leaders would choose to disobey God’s will and intentions, follow their own path and end up in griev-ous destruction. It is played out over and over again over centuries and millennia, but we human beings are simply so intent on getting our way that we run headlong to rack

and ruin.The present and most im-

mediate task facing our leaders in these post-election years is to listen to God and set self-interest and personal or political opinions aside and make the definite choice to follow God’s intentions and do God’s will to bring about peace, do justice, be merciful and simply help us take care of one another in a dangerous and unpredictable world. Yes, there will be many opinions on how to do those things, but if we will all listen to God and do our best to follow the values God has set before us all will be well. In the end, God always wins, period. The question is, “Do we want to be there when God does take it all?”

- The Reverend Dr. Michael Doty, RectorThe Episcopal Church of

the Holy Cross

Author Jon Buchan will speak about his new crime drama, “Code of the Forest” at the Lanier Library on Tuesday, Nov. 20 at noon.

The program is free and ev-eryone is welcome.

A former South Carolina political reporter and a First Amendment lawyer represent-ing newspapers and broadcast-ers in the courtroom for more than 30 years, Buchan was awarded the William C. Las-siter First Amendment Award in 2000 for his “tireless efforts to defend the First Amendment and protect the public’s right to know.”

More recently, for “Code

of the Forest,” he received the gold medal for southern fiction in the Readers Favorite Awards. He grew up in Mullins, S.C. and spent most of his career in Charlotte, N.C.

Buchan drew on his expert knowledge from both journal-ism and the law to weave to-gether a tale of political corrup-tion exposed by a small-town newspaper.

Set in the Low Country of South Carolina, the book has received attention from both the legal and journalistic points of view.

The former chief judge of the South Carolina Court of Appeals, Alex Sanders, wrote:

“With a sharp eye and perfect pitch, Jon Buchan unravels the Gothic politics and reside in the soul of the South. He reveals a great deal about law, love and life among the live oaks, as well as the power and influence that come from having ducks in your freezer.”

John Drescher, executive editor of The News and Ob-server (Raleigh, NC) said, “Jon Buchan knows the law. He knows journalism.

He knows politics. A riveting read . . . If you want to know how the South works, this novel is a good place to start.”

The Upstairs Artspace invites the public to celebrate the launch of its new, expanded website at a casual reception at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16, immediately following the gallery’s annual meeting, which begins at 5:30 p.m.

Volunteers led by the chairman of the gallery’s communications committee, local artist Keith Spencer, spent months working on the design and new features to be included in the site, which retains the old web address, www.upstairsartspace.org.

“The first thing you see when you go to the new home page is a splash of images reflecting the innovative art the Upstairs tries so hard to bring into our community,” said Spencer. “The aim was to make sure that the website, like the gallery, serves as a welcoming and useful resource for anyone interested in contemporary art.”

The team that put together the new site added a blog to offer periodic glimpses into the minds of artists, a calendar listing all pro-grams and exhibits, expanded in-formation and images from artists whose work has been displayed at the Upstairs, and e-commerce features allowing supporters to

start or renew their gallery mem-bership online.

Members of the Upstairs board will be on hand at the reception to discuss the new site, and answer questions about the process used to turn the vision for the Upstairs’ new online presence into a reality.

The gallery is located at 49 S. Trade St., Tryon. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday. For more information, call 828-859-2828, or visit the website.

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176 N. at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18.

The speaker will be Rev. Mi-chael Carter who will speak on the topic, “Love, Acceptance and Thanksgiving.”

When life is good and we are in the prime of our lives, it is often easier to sing praises. But what if our lives are drawing to a close and we are in the prime of our lives with regrets of things left undone and unsaid,” said Rev. Carter. “Join me as we explore how two individuals, whom I was fortunate enough to have the privilege to minister to in their final days of life, came to love, acceptance, and thanksgiving.”

Carter is originally from Bal-timore, Maryland. He moved to New York City in 1980 and lived there for 27 years, working as a professional actor before moving to Asheville with his family to

serve as a staff chaplain at Mission Hospital. Michael is an ordained Interfaith minister and received his bachelor of arts degree in letters from the College of New Rochelle where he graduated cum laude. He received his masters In di-vinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in N e w Yo r k City (class of 2000). He has served as a staff chaplain (Board Certi-fied) at Lenox Hill Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital, Beth Israel Cancer Center, Meth-odist Hospital, and New York Hospital Queens while residing in New York City.

While serving various Unitar-ian Universalist Congregations in New York City and surrounding

areas, Michael was trained as an anti-racism trainer and has been recognized by President Bill Clin-ton for his efforts. Carter was also a weekly columnist for the Asheville Citizen Times.

C a r t e r c u r r e n t l y serves as the minister for the Unitar-ian Univer-salist Con-gregation in Black, Mt., N.C. while also serving as a diversity consultant for

the Asheville community. He has worked with The Grove Park Inn, Asheville City School Foundation, The Asheville Buncombe Institute for Parody Achievement (ABIPA), Eaton Electrical Company, which is an international organization. He has also spoken before the Profes-

sional Fundraisers of Asheville, N.C., as well as serving on the board of Four Seasons Hospice. Carter has also provided diversity and anti-racism training for Four Season. Formerly, Carter served as the diversity officer for Mission Hospitals. Carter has also served as director of diversity for the Western North Carolina Human Resource Association, which is an affiliate of SHRM (Society Of Human Re-source Management). Carter is also a graduate of Leadership Asheville, class number 27. He and his wife The Rev. Judy Long (A Unitarian Universalist Minister) reside in Arden, N.C. with their 6-year-old daughter Kevyn, their two cats Isis and Luna, and their two Labs Duchess and Dante.

Come early to enjoy fellowship and refreshments. For informa-tion, call 828-894-5776 or visit uutryonnc.org.

On the morning of Saturday, Oct. 6, a total of 37 volunteers contributed their time to clean up the Green River and Lake Adger on behalf of the citizens of Polk County.

Their efforts were part of the 2012 NC Big Sweep, a statewide effort to remove litter and debris from waterways and beaches. The total effort removed an esti-mated 840 pounds of trash and 480 pounds of recyclable material that was taken to the transfer station.

On and along the Green River, volunteers included Polk County High School ‘Green Team’ mem-bers Emily Kocher, Andrew Lee, Malynne Petoia, Maggie Phipps, Ben Stockdale, Leah Stockdale, Will Trakas and Mason Umlauf. Gail Stockdale and Green Team Director Joel Picher assisted the team. Representatives of the Pis-gah Chapter of Trout Unlim-ited included Steve Herring, Gene McGuire, and Linda and Mark Byington. Joe Cooper and Cathy Brettman represented Polk County Appearance Commission. Other volunteers from around the county included Eric and Harrison Wad-dell and Brian Taylor, as well as Christy, Steven and Reid Houser of Wilderness Cove Campground. Ken Weitzen and two other volun-teers cleaned trash from the river from canoes on behalf of ECO (Environmental & Conservation Organization) of Hendersonville, and other volunteers pitched in during the day.

On Lake Adger, volunteers Susan and Jerry Atwood, and Ja-mie and Mike Davidson, spent the morning on boats removing debris from one-quarter mile of shoreline and along selected roadsides. The overall effort was bolstered tre-mendously by the use of a large trailer, generously loaned by Tim and Sara Bell of Green River Ad-ventures in Saluda.

Gratitude should be extended to all the volunteers who cared enough to spend a couple of hours removing detrimental trash from Polk County’s waterways.

“Clean water starts at the top, and these efforts go a long way to improving the quality of down-

stream rivers which supply drink-ing water to many North and South Carolina communities,” Mark Byington said. “As more and more tourist are discovering the beauty of our area, it is economically important that they are not turned away by trash lined roads and waterways.”

NC Big Sweep is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works year-round to educate citizens for litter-free watersheds. Last year, 16,212 vol-unteers cleaned more than 1,200 miles of waterways to retrieve more than 385,000 pounds of debris statewide.
