District One recognizes National School Nurse DayThursday, May 9 has been designated as National School Nurse Day for 2012. District One officials said school nurses work every day to improve the health and success of the students in District One, who face more challenging issues today than ever before. This year’s theme, “Advocacy, Access, Achievement: Making the Connection,” is reflective of the overall positive impact school nurses have on the health and well-being of students. “Healthy children learn better is a simple truth,” District One officials said, “and school nurses help to remove barriers to academic success. They reduce absenteeism, provide better attendance rates and care for students in school.” (photo submitted by Paula Brooks)

During early voting, which began April 19, 259 people voted at the Green Creek Family Life Center, 229 voted at the Mill Spring Fire Department and 1,343 people voted at the Polk County Board of Elections Office.

Out of the early voters, 996 cast Democratic ballots, 769 cast Republican ballots, 62 cast unaffiliated ballots and four cast Libertarian ballots.

The unaffiliated ballots that were counted came from voters registered as unaffiliated who chose to vote only on Amendment 1. All other unaffiliated voters chose to vote other party ballots and were counted in with party votes. Unaffiliated voters can choose the party with which they want to vote in a primary election.

Locally, voters will choose Democratic candidates for the Polk County Board of Commis-sioners. Three seats are open on the board. Candidates include Emily Bartlett (D), Ernie Gi-annini (D), Ritchie “Bubba” Greene (D), incumbent Renée McDermott (D), Rickie McFalls (D) and Russell Mierop (D). Vot-ers will choose three candidates to run against Michael Gage (R), Keith Holbert (R) and incumbent Tom Pack (R) in November.

Polk County voters will also choose candidates for a variety of state and national races dur-ing the primary, including U.S. presidential candidates from the Republican and Libertarian par-ties, North Carolina governor and lieutenant governor and U.S. and state House and Senate representatives.

One Republican race is for the N.C. House of Representa-tives District 113 between Trudi Walend (R) and Chris Whitmire (R). The nominee will run against Polk County resident George Al-ley (D) in November.

Voters will also vote for or against a proposed constitutional marriage amendment (Amend-ment 1). The amendment would define marriage as between one man and one woman as the only legal domestic union in the state.

The sheriff’s office said ap-proximately $500 of charges were made at several loca-tions.

Abril was released on Sat-urday after posting a $32,000 bond.

Abril was elected Polk County sheriff in 2006 and served until his resignation in November 2008, the day before he pled guilty to two counts of felony solicitation to take indecent liberties with a minor.

The so l ic i ta t ion case stemmed from incidents that occurred in the late 1980s in-volving two Polk County girls who were ages 10 and 11 at the time. Abril served a suspended sentence that included 120 days of house arrest and three years of supervised probation. Abril was also made to sur-render his law enforcement certification.

• Abril(Continued from page 1)

While on probation in 2009, Abril was arrested and later pled guilty to driving while impaired (DWI). He was sen-tenced to unsupervised proba-tion and community service on that charge. Because he violated his 2008 probation by being convicted of a DWI, Abril was also placed on 30 days of house arrest for the probation violation. Abril is not currently on probation for his previous convictions.

Columbus police observe Motorcycle Awareness Month

The Columbus Police De-partment recently announced two members have successfully completed Bike Safe North Carolina assessor training, just in time for Motorcycle Aware-ness Month, which is observed in May.

Chief Chris Beddingfield and Officer Chris Ruff have completed training that will allow them to teach Bike Safe North Carolina classes. Bike Safe-NC invites motorcyclists to participate in Rider Skills Days that offer assessment on present driving skills and advice to help make their experience as a motorcyclist safer and more enjoyable. As well as profes-sional riding techniques, topics covered include the system of motorcycle control, collision

causation factors and security. The Rider Skills Days are run

during the week and on week-ends, taught by experienced, trained police motorcyclists passing on their knowledge and experience in a friendly and in-formal manner. Held at various locations around the state, the pre-booked days include both classroom-based advice and on-road ride-outs.

Beddingfield said Colum-bus police hope to have Bike Safe classes scheduled in the Columbus area soon. For more information, contact the Co-lumbus Police Department at 828-894-5464 or visit Bike Safe’s website at http://www.bikesafenc.com/.

The Landrum track team has won the Upper State finals eight consecutive times.

On Saturday afternoon, May 5, Landrum hoisted another Up-per State trophy and will head to Columbia to defend their title. The Cardinals scored 121 points to beat out North Central’s 90 points. Ninety Six finished third with 69 points and Christ Church finished fourth with 42. Blacksburg fin-ished 13th with 20 points.

The Cardinals are the defend-ing state champions, but the path to the state finals this year was a little different than last year.

“We have a different makeup of our team this year,” Landrum Head Coach Russell Mahaffey said. “The picture of our team has totally changed.”

Last year the sprinters were the strength of the team. Last year, the Cardinals qualified just four athletes in the field events. This year they qualified 10.

Two of those qualifiers are in the triple jump and they had a highly contested jump on Sat-urday.

Senior Cole McDowell, who was state champion in the triple jump last season, won the Upper

State title again, but this time got some stiff competition from Car-dinal sophomore Aaron Bryant. McDowell jumped a distance of 43-7 and Bryant jumped 43-4.

“I kind of scared him today,” Bryant joked after the event. “Just the preparation this last week to prepare my body to jump (was the difference).”

Bryant also finished second in the long jump with a jump of 20-5.

Other Cardinals that qualified were Sam Robins in the 400-me-ter hurdles (1:01.3); Kaleb Dill in the 400-meter hurdles (1:05.6); Troy Hodge in the 3200-meter (11:56); Derek Brittain in the shot (45’8.5”); Chasten Thomas in the shot (43-1) and discus (127-2); McDowell in the high jump (5-10); Hunter Conley in the high jump (6-2); Will Brown in the 800-meter (2:12); Danny Bruce in the 800-meter (2:13); the 4x800 team of Bruce, Hodge, Brown and Kevin Human (8:43); Paul Miller in the 110-meter hurdles (17.4); the 4x100 team of Peyton Mc-Carter, Bryant, JoJo Wilkins and McDowell (46.4); Luke Phillips in the pole vault (11); and Mc-Carter in the pole vault (11) and 200-meter dash (23.5).

On the girls’ side, Southside

Christian followed up a Region II-1A crown with an Upper State championship with 87 points. The Lady Cardinals finished fourth with 58 points. Blacksburg fin-ished 11th with 28 points.

For Landrum, Daisha Whitmire qualified in the discus (88-10); Carla Bruce in the 400-meter

hurdles (1:21.2); Holly Rickett in the shot (29-7.5); Bruce in the high jump (6’2”); Kim Brown in the high jump (4-8); the 4x800 relay team of Paige Herbst, Samantha Waters, Sarah Cash and Cierra Belue (11:13); Shelby Morris in the pole vault (8-6); and Alison Jouan in the pole vault (7).

Perhaps you’ve heard the term advance directives, but don’t know for certain what that term means or fully understand why it’s important that virtually everyone, but par-ticularly boomers and seniors, have advance directives.

Simply put, your advance direc-tive is a document that will ensure your wishes are being followed. An advance directive allows you to designate someone to speak for you and to make choices for you in several areas of your life, if for some reason – illness, accident or mental incapacity – you are no longer able to make those choices yourself.

Decisions involving health care – living wills that specify your wishes for heroic efforts to keep you alive such as surgery and life support – financial manage-ment of your affairs while you’re incapacitated, and a general power of attorney are examples of types of advance directives. These allow your designee to speak on your

behalf in situations where you are not capable of doing so.

The most important aspect of an advance directive or power of attorney, regardless of the type – living will, health or financial – is that you’ve got to have this docu-ment in place and have designated this person before whatever the prob-lem may be actually happens. By creating your advance directives, you have the opportunity to stipu-late ahead of time who speaks for you. This assures you that your wishes will be precisely carried out if you cannot speak for yourself.

Deciding who to name as your power of attorney, financial or health care surrogate should not be a surprise to family or close friends. Those decisions should be discussed and made clear as to whom you wish to be responsible for all or any individual aspect of decision-making on your behalf. It

may be one person for everything, or perhaps one person for your financial decisions and another for health care decisions, and it does not have to be a spouse or even a family member.

Keep in mind, no advance direc-tive takes effect unless or until you are no longer able to make or

communicate such decisions for yourself. If your family or per-sonal circumstances change, your documents can be revoked and rewritten.

People of all ages can be af-fected – remember the case of Terry Schiavo in Florida? But the odds are that seniors are most likely to be affected due to accidents and ill-nesses like cancer, cardio-vascular problems, dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke or just the aging process itself.

Creating advance directives does not necessarily require an

attorney. But it’s a very good idea to seek legal counsel to be sure that you are fully protecting yourself with complete, witnessed and notarized documents. It’s an inexpensive way to ensure that your wishes will be followed.

One last bit of advice. An ad-vance directive won’t do you much good if it’s locked away in a file cabinet or safe where no one can find it. Give copies to your physician(s), family, friends, clergy, and attorney. Ask your doctor to en-ter it in her records, and have a copy with you if you go to the hospital.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CurrenCies of the World

A speCiAl thAnk You to All our sponsors!

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.

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 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.

Nothing characterizes modern life better than computers. For better or worse, computers have gained access to every aspect of our society. Today comput-ers do much more than simply compute. Supermarket scanners calculate our grocery bill, while they keep up with the store’s inventory. Computers help cars get better fuel economy. Computerized telephone switching centers keep lines of communication untangled, and automatic teller machines let us conduct banking transactions from anywhere in the world. We use portable computers, called lap-tops, almost anywhere. Computers are even used to save lives; a pacemaker, a device that is surgically implanted in the human heart, helps to regulate how the heart beats and is a miniature computer! Computers touch almost every aspect of our lives. There is no real answer on who created the first computer. Many things in the past have been considered computers. In1937, the Atanasoff-Berry Computer was created at Iowa State College by a professor named John Vincent Atanasoff and a graduate student named Clifford Berry and is considered to be the first true modern computer. They pioneered the use of binary arithmetic in computers. Bi-nary arithmetic is a type of math system that uses a two number system--0 and 1. Codes are typed in binary and act as a base code telling the computer what to do. Binary is a very complex math system which takes years to master. Although binary is essential in making programs work, it is only one piece of the puzzle. Some of the major components that make up the actual hardware of a computer are the processor, the motherboard, and the RAM.

Mother’s Day is a day that we honor our Mothers for all they do for us. The earliest Mother’s Day celebrations occurred in ancient times to honor the Mother goddesses. In Greece and Rome, the holiday was cel-ebrated for the Mother of their gods. The tradition of Mother’s Day in the United States was created because of the work of three women, Julia Ward Howe, Anna Reeves Jarvis and her daughter, Anna Jarvis. In 1870, Howe wrote the Mother’s Day Proclamation, a statement requesting that the Civil War be put to an end in the name of a Mother’s Day for Peace. Although Julia first conceived the idea for a Mother’s Day, it was never of-ficially recognized. In the late 1850’s, Anna Jarvis promoted the idea of a Mother’s Day of Work to help improve sanitation conditions for American soldiers in military hospitals. President Woodrow Wilson declared the first official Mother’s Day in 1914. Many nations followed suit, and what we know today as Mother’s Day was born.

First Baptist Church of Landrum’s GA group, along with some parents and leaders, spent a recent Wednesday evening helping out at the Hospice Thrift Barn. They dusted shelves and furniture and straightened the clothes on the sales floor, among a miscellany of other tasks. And they also did a little shopping! Tracey Brannon, volunteer coordinator at the Thrift Barn, invites church and school groups to take advantage of this opportunity to serve their community. All proceeds from the Thrift Barn benefit Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills. For more information, call Brannon at 864-457-7348. (photo submitted by Marsha VanHecke)

Singer-songwriter Gigi Do-ver and her band, The Big Love, will perform at Overmountain Vineyards & Winery (www.overmountainvineyards.com) on Sunday, May 20. The event is a fundraiser for the newly formed Slow Food Foothills, Polk County, a subchapter of Slow Food Asheville. The radio station WNCW (www.wncw.org) is sponsoring the event. In addition, a silent auction will be on site.

Gigi Dover and The Big Love has performed at Roger’s Park in Tryon and The Purple Onion in Saluda. Dover (www.gigidover.com) has been a staple of the music scene in North Carolina since the late 1990s, when she performed with the Americana band, The Rank Outsiders.

After success with that group and a stint as a solo artist, Dover is continuing her career with The Big Love, a Charlotte-based

band. Dover and her partner, Eric Lovell, incorporate world music instruments such as sitar, rebab, tambura, melodica, uku-lele, mandolin and glockenspiel into their sound, taking listeners through a multitude of styles and genres.

The group’s new CD is called “The Robin Is High and the Mustache Is Long.” The owl featured on the CD’s cover was painted by Dover and is a sym-bol for a cause she said is dear to her heart: To increase awareness of the illegal owl trade in India. The song “Night Song” was created as a tribute to this cause.

All are invited to enjoy lo-cal wine, seasonal food and Americana music from 4-8 p.m. on May 20. A buffet will be catered by Suzanne Strickland, owner of Stone Soup in Lan-drum (www.stonesouplandrum.com). Tickets can be purchased online at Brown Paper Tickets (www.brownpapertickets.com),

The Duke University Talent Identification Program (TIP) was established in 1980 to cultivate and enrich the education of gifted and talented youth. The Seventh Grade Talent Search identifies talented seventh graders based on standardized test scores achieved in sixth grade. These candidates are invited to complete the SAT or the Act college entrance exam. Ten seventh-grade students from Polk County Middle School participated in Duke TIP this year. Of those who took the four-hour SAT test, three students’ scores qualified them for the state recognition ceremony. These students scored at or above the 50th percentile compared to juniors and seniors in high school across the nation. Pictured from left to right are the students who were recognized: Sam Rhinehart, Michaela Franklin and Rhian Alley. (photo submitted by Jeanne Ferran Burgin)
