Daniel Owens Contracting to restore Landrum Depotby Samantha Hurst
Daniel Owens Contracting received approval from Landrum City Council members Tuesday, July 10 to take on restoration of the Landrum Depot despite concerns regarding the project’s increasing costs.
“Were you at all surprised by the bids that came in?” Council-man Jon Matheis asked architect John Walters.
Walters said he would have liked to see the bids come in lower but knew costs of historic renovations could be unpredict-able.
Owens provided the lowest bid for the project at $415,667, while two other contractors Larry Sossamon Construction out of Gaffney and Karaman Properties of Landrum supplied bids at $443,410 and $472,734,

respectively. City Administrator Steve Wolo-
chowicz explained to council that unexpected charges often come up after estimations are made. He said he had hoped the price would have stayed in the high $300,000 range.
“It’s always an educated guess … especially when you are deal-ing with an historical building, a more t han 100-yea r-o ld building,” said Wolochowicz to council. “We didn’t know un-til we tore into the walls, for example, that it needed some additional struc-tural reinforce-ment.”
O w e n s ’ bid, the low-est, amounts to about $115,000 more than what c o u n c i l h a d originally an-ticipated spending to renovate the depot.
During council’s work session prior to the meeting, this discrepan-cy raised concerns. Council earlier this year approved a bond issue in the amount of $300,000 to be paid over the course of seven years with hospitality tax funds. Matheis said had council known the costs would be closer to $400,000 they could have issued a bond for that amount.
Keeping the project closer to the original $300,000 would have meant potentially eliminating a covered pergola outside the depot,
which council members said they feel is an aesthetically essential part of the plan. Construction of the pergola amounts to about $88,000.
“So we got the bond issue and to keep to that cost we’d be eliminat-ing part of what we thought would be in this project,” Matheis said. “In a way it bothers me because… we put all those things in there, we said what we were looking for, now within a year building costs or the costs have escalated that
much.” Councilman
Johnny Carruth asked if it would hurt the city at all to dip into the hospitality tax to pay for the pergola. He said he believed the pergola would be useful.
“ D o y o u think the per-gola will ben-efit drawing that many people to Landrum with the building be-ing done?” Car-
ruth asked. “I don’t like the idea of spending more money but I think it does.”
Wolochowicz said council could use additional hospitality tax funds to pay for the pergola if they intended to move forward with its construction, which the council unanimously voted to do.
Owens said he would be able to start quickly on the project and anticipated a total construction time of 212 days, which if not drastically altered, would mean the city could see a completed project by February.

St. Luke’s presentation on rotator cuff injuries July 17
Monte Palmer, occupational therapist with St. Luke’s Outpatient Rehabilitation, will present “The Rotator Cuff: Preventing Injury as We Age” on Tuesday, July 17 at 3 p.m. in the hospital library.
A rotator cuff tear is a common cause of pain and disability among adults. Each year, close to 2 million people in the United States visit a doctor because of a rotator cuff prob-lem. A torn rotator cuff will weaken
your shoulder. This means that many daily activities, like combing your hair or getting dressed, may become painful and difficult to do.
You can learn more about rota-tor cuff injuries and how to prevent them by attending Palmer’s presen-tation. Call 828-894-2408 to reserve your spot. Light refreshments will be served.

Cannon to review the changes. The county held a public hear-ing Monday on the amendment with no comments being made.
Cannon said Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe told DOT the town wanted the Pe-niel Road resurfacing project to include curb and drainage so the town can install sidewalks at a later date.
The amendment will take funds from the Collinsville Road widening project, estimat-ed at approximately $520,000, in order to include the im-provements to Peniel Road and Walker Street in Columbus, estimated at $250,000. Can-non said the Collinsville Road project would be moved to the 2013 schedule.
With the leftover funding, the state will pave Adam Millis and Dalton roads, both of which are currently unpaved.
Hidden Hill Road resident Howard Greene has requested the paving of Adam Millis Road for decades. Greene told DOT representatives last year that he has been trying to get Adam Millis Road paved for 60 years. He said he has repeatedly attended the state’s secondary road public hearings since the 1950s asking that the gravel road connecting Horseshoe Curve and Hidden Hill Roads be paved.
The Adam Millis project is expected to cost $40,000 and includes grading, drainage, base and paving the unpaved road.
The Dalton Road project is projected to cost $220,000 and also includes grading, drainage, base and paving the unpaved road.
The Peniel Road improve-ments are planned between the Columbus city limits and Hwy. 108, particularly between the Holly Hills subdivision and the Walker Street/Peniel Road
intersection.Columbus Mayor Eric Mc-
Intyre sent commissioners a let-ter urging the board to approve the amendment.
“The town regularly receives complaints regarding drainage, walkability and safety for this section of road,” states McIntyre in his letter. “Drainage improve-ments will improve safety, as any issues with water running over the road could be addressed during this time. Furthermore, these improvements are a neces-sary precursor for any sidewalk installation along this road.”
McIntyre said Holly Hills has approximately 52 homes and several other homes could also connect to downtown through a potential sidewalk.
Other projects in the DOT’s 2012 plan include improve-ments to Thermal View Drive in Lynn and Wilderness Drive in Tryon Township.
The state’s 2012 plan is bud-geted at $674,000, including the
road improvements and other spot stabilizations, surveys and safety signage throughout the county.
Commissioner Ted Owens also asked Cannon when pav-ing can be done along Hwy. 9 in Mill Spring. Cannon said the state has ranked Hwy. 9 im-provements and they are three to four years out.
Commissioners agreed to draft a resolution requesting the state put Hwy. 9 improvements higher on the priority list. Commission-ers plan to adopt the resolution at their next meeting in August.
Commissioner Ray Gasper-son also asked Cannon about double striping being done along Hwy. 108 in Lynn. Can-non said he has been assured the section Gasperson referred to will be double striped by the end of this fiscal year.
The DOT holds a public hearing annually to get feed-back from Polk residents re-garding the county’s secondary road needs.

A quick look at an online dictionary or Wikipedia can give us a start. A community is 1) a cluster of mutually supportive organisms which coexist for a common benefit (for example, a jellyfish, a herd of wildebeests); 2) a group of mutually supportive individuals voluntarily gath-ered for a unified purpose (for example, a monastic commu-nity, a church, a civic club); 3) a population of individuals sharing a mutually supportive government, economy, and culture with reciprocal advan-tages (for example, villages, towns, cities); 4) an associa-tion of populations acting in a mutually supportive manner for the common good of all
(for example, states, nations).Please note that the key
phrase here is “mutually sup-portive.”
By that reasoning a com-munity can form around al-most anything. We often see it happen in sports and clubs of all kinds, but that sharing of a single specific purpose makes being mutually sup-portive comparatively easy. However, when the purpose becomes more general and the participants are more diverse in their needs and interests, maintaining a viable sense of community becomes much more difficult to achieve.

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 Bible says a great deal about what it means to be a viable and successful com-munity, and in every case the underlying theme is one of self-sacrifice for the benefit of the whole.
In Romans (12:3-6a), Paul writes to a struggling church in Rome, saying, “For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and not all the members have the same func-tion, so we, who are many,

are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts [for the mutual good] that differ according to the grace given to us…”
In the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and Mark (3:24-25), we hear Jesus say, “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.”
Jesus also said, when he was asked what was the great-est law, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first com-mandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the proph-ets.” (Matthew 22:37-40).
Therefore, being a suc-cessful and vibrant commu-nity cannot be posited on the individual gratification of its members. A sports team is genuinely successful only when the members work and act together for the success of the whole. For any community of any kind to prosper and be viable every member must surrender personal gain, privi-lege and power for the sake of being mutually supportive of the whole. Out of that spirit and practice of self-sacrifice for the sake of the whole will grow a truly positive and flourishing community.

A quick look at an online dictionary or Wikipedia can give us a start. A community is 1) a cluster of mutually supportive organisms which coexist for a common benefit (for example, a jellyfish, a herd of wildebeests); 2) a group of mutually supportive individuals voluntarily gath-ered for a unified purpose (for example, a monastic commu-nity, a church, a civic club); 3) a population of individuals sharing a mutually supportive government, economy, and culture with reciprocal advan-tages (for example, villages, towns, cities); 4) an associa-tion of populations acting in a mutually supportive manner for the common good of all
(for example, states, nations).Please note that the key
phrase here is “mutually sup-portive.”
By that reasoning a com-munity can form around al-most anything. We often see it happen in sports and clubs of all kinds, but that sharing of a single specific purpose makes being mutually sup-portive comparatively easy. However, when the purpose becomes more general and the participants are more diverse in their needs and interests, maintaining a viable sense of community becomes much more difficult to achieve. Very often personal concerns, greed for wealth or power or avarice

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 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.

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.

are one body in Christ, and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts [for the mutual good] that differ according to the grace given to us…”
In the Gospels of Matthew, Luke and Mark (3:24-25), we hear Jesus say, “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. And if a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.”
Jesus also said, when he was asked what was the great-est law, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first com-mandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the proph-ets.” (Matthew 22:37-40).
Therefore, being a suc-cessful and vibrant commu-nity cannot be posited on the individual gratification of its members. A sports team is genuinely successful only when the members work and act together for the success of the whole. For any community of any kind to prosper and be viable every member must surrender personal gain, privi-lege and power for the sake of being mutually supportive of the whole. Out of that spirit and practice of self-sacrifice for the sake of the whole will grow a truly positive and flourishing community.

Marc Yaxley Trio to perform at Rogers Park July 13The Marc Yaxley Trio takes the stage at Rogers
Park in Tryon, July 13 at 7 p.m. This third show in 2012 Summer Tracks Concert Series is sponsored by TD Bank.
The Marc Yaxley Trio brings together the talents of three musicians with impressive careers in their own right. Jazz-blues guitar master Marc Yaxley has opened for jazz great Ramsey Lewis, trumpeter May-nard Ferguson and blues rocker Warren Haynes. Since moving to Western North Carolina in 1993, Yaxley has recorded six CDs and performed as a soloist at numerous local venues, including the Grove Park Inn Jazz Festival. Yaxley serves on the music faculty at the University of North Carolina-Asheville.
Yaxley is joined in the trio by Bill Berg on drums and Cameron Austin on bass.
Berg is best known as the drummer for the 1980s-1990s contemporary jazz band Flim & the BBs. Berg has recorded with folk-music greats Bob Dylan, Cat Stevens and Leo Kottke.
Austin was a mainstay bassist and producer for both live and studio productions during the thriving acous-tic rock decade in Atlanta, Ga. He also serves as an assistant professor in the business and organizational leadership department at Brevard College.

his comedy persona.Suspense, “radio’s outstand-
ing theater of thrills,” aired on the radio from 1940 - 1962, with “another tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.”
Prof. Hoyt will keep every-one guessing with his trivia quiz.
The radio/TV presentation will be a club comedy special with laughs galore.
The summer jazz series continues about 3:05 p.m., spotlighting the immortal Eddie Condon, who was the moving force behind some of the greatest jazz records ever produced.
All are welcome and it is free.

French cuisine potluck at Slow Food Foothills July 15Slow Food Foothills (SFF)
offers residents an opportunity to showcase their French-cooking masterpieces or more simple renditions. The group’s monthly potluck community gathering will be held Sunday, July 15 at the 1906 Pine Crest Inn from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. and is always open to anyone interested in attending.
Beef Bourguignon? Steak au Poivre? Pot-au-feu? Or the cus-tardy egg quiche, a Pommes de Terre à la Boulangere, a blueberry Millefeuille?
All are welcome to get into the French convivial spirit and
share a French-themed potluck dish along with community spirit. The group will choose winners in French-themed categories for foods brought in, and door prizes will be awarded.
Categories include the fol-lowing dishes:
Facile d’été - Simple Summer Fare - five or fewer ingredients
Cuisine Classique - Tradi-tional French dish
Legumes Seul - Only veg-etables
Fusion françaises - American classic with a French flair
Bon Bons Fantastique –
French-inspired dessertsBiologique et Locale - Or-
ganic and localAnother treat will include an
inside glimpse of the 1906 Pine Crest Inn, which is under new operational management.
The SFF night’s agenda will include the outcome of the first SFF spring fundraiser at Over-mountain Winery on May 20, which drew almost 300 people made more than $4,000 in profit. You can also learn how to join a number of slow food community projects in the area.
Unlike some SFF potlucks,
this is not a BYOB dinner. Rath-er, select wines by the bottle or glass and a wide selection of beers and spirits will be on of-fer for purchase. Mark Parsons, operations manager of Pine Crest Inn, is creating a special Bastille Day Wine Spritzer that will be sold by the glass. All are asked to bring their own place settings to reduce waste.
For more information, contact Carol Lynn at [email protected] or Mindy Wiener at [email protected].

If you find yourself saying it’s too hot to fish, the fish may agree. While fish like largemouth and smallmouth bass can be caught in the daylight hours, sometimes they are more cooperative after the sun goes to bed.
It’s hard to understand fish – I mean, you can ask them what they like, but getting an answer can be tough. You just have to figure them out.
But there are clue sometimes that we overlook, one being that heat is tough on us and them.
Studies say that a cold-blooded creature like a fish has a higher metabolic rate as the temperature rises in their environment. So they need to eat more. But most anglers will agree it’s harder to catch a fish in the heat of summer. Go figure. But there are other factors that come into play like oxygen content, bait depth and so on.
So with that behind us, what can be done to catch fish in the heat? One way is to fish at night. Even though the water doesn’t cool very quickly as the sun sets, fish will find their way closer to the lake’s shoreline to feed.
Most of the time fishing is best right before and as it gets dark. Then many times it will slow down about an hour or so after dark. There are a few guesses as to why: some say their eyes are adjusting to low light. I’m not really sure but it is true most of the time.
Then fishing will pick up later
Fishing at nighttime to avoid heat

in the night, and if you can stay awake, the last two hours before dawn can be very good, from about 4 a.m. on.
Fish that may be 30 or 40 feet deep in the day will sometimes go surprisingly shallow at night. They will many times hug the shore-line and if you don’t get your bait within a foot or two of the water’s edge, you will not get a bite.
Fish are moody just like a lot of people I know. Some nights they are more aggressive and shallow, other nights the opposite is true.
There is a wide assortment of bait types you can use to fish at night; in fact, the same ones that work in the day work at night.
Some classic nighttime baits are: a buzz bait, spinner bait, plas-

tic worms, crank baits, jigs and about any top water bait.
Black is the most common nighttime color. Really? Black at night? Yes, and the reason is fish see silhouettes at night more than colors.
That being said, in many of the mountainous lakes in our area, the same colors that work in the day work at night. I’ll give credit to the clear waters.
Some of the best locations at night are points, flats and seawalls. Fish will move up on points and flats in schools to feed. Timing is crucial. Fish that move near seawalls will usually hold there longer, but these fish can be super shallow. This is where the casts against the bank are crucial.
So if you are having trouble catching fish, give nighttime a try. It’s more comfortable for you and the fish.
