easily purchases keeping cost and availability in mind. We incor-porated current math lessons of fractions, volume and shapes into our preparations as we measured, mixed, chopped and sliced.

After making each of the three types of hummus (tradi-tional, beet & black bean), the class tasted their creations. It was a pleasant surprise to see the enthusiasm not only in the preparation but also the tasting stage., Weiner said.

In addition to making the hummus, the kids served their creations along with baked, whole wheat pita chips and cru-dites (organic carrots and green bell peppers) on Wednesday, Dec. 19 while hosting an in class meet the authors party for their families at the school. Each child read stories aloud and then, in true Slow Food fashion, everyone ate together.

Chair of Slow Food in Schools,

Barb Raymond, spoke to parents as well as the children about what Slow Food is and some of the chapters plans for 2013. Cook-ing classes, school gardens and familiarizing students with local products available in our region were a few areas that both the children and the adults seemed interested in learning more about.

We were elated that, when it was time to go, the children asked us to leave behind more hummus and crudites for snacks later in the day. It just goes to show that, if given the opportunity to try new foods and help in prepara-tions, we can expand some of the experiences for many kids in Polk County, Weiner said.

Tryon Town Council amended its animal control ordinance to allow the police department to issue citations for animals run-ning at large during all hours of the day.

Town council met Tuesday, Dec. 18 and approved amending the ordinance to state, it shall be unlawful for any person to permit or allow any dog, cat or other animal to run at large within the corporate limits of the town.

At large is defined as animals not under control off the owners property.

Previous wording included that after 9 p.m. the town can issue a civil citation for animals running at large. The amended or-dinance means that a civil citation can be issued at any hour of the day for animals running at large.

Town manager Caitlin Martin said the town has received com-plaints about animals running at

large throughout the day.The issue of a leash law sur-

faced during the discussion since Harmon Field and Tryons parks have leash restrictions.

Commissioner Wim Woody said he doesnt think a leash law should be implemented through-out town. Commissioner George Baker disagreed and said the town should have a leash law.

Besides at Tryons parks, ani-mals can be off a leash as long as they are under the owners control.

Police chief Jeff Arrowood said if animal is loose the town will capture the animal and the owner can come pick it up. The town also has the opportunity of calling Polk County Animal Control in events when the ani-mals ownership is unknown. The town has two cages to temporar-ily house captured animals until the owner or animal control can retrieve them.

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

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

The human Tongue

a Special Thank You To all our SponSorS!

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

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

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

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