Pack said the individual can choose the time to be called each day. She said one gentle-man has his call come in at 5:30 p.m. because he works with farm equipment and fears that a large piece of equipment might fall on him during the day. Others want early morn-ing calls to make sure they didn’t fall when getting out of bed.

Pack added that many of the participants let the department know where a hidden key is so a deputy can enter the home if the individual is believed to be in danger.

Pack said the program has been incredibly beneficial to people in the community. She said if nothing else it provides a bit of peace of mind.

“Sometimes I think we are the only people some of these individuals are talking to on a regular basis,” she said. “I

have one lady whose machine never works, but sometimes I think it’s just because she wants someone to talk to.”

There is no restriction based on age, Pack said, adding that anyone who has a medical condition or is home alone on a regular basis could receive the call.

“What do you have to lose to be on it? It doesn’t cost anything,” Pack said. “If you know that you aren’t going to be there – we just ask that the person calls in and lets us know.”

Participants are also able to give the department a laundry list of important information to keep on file, such as emer-gency contacts, key holders, if there is a DNR in place, a physician’s name, if the indi-vidual walks with a cane or a

walker and if they have pets in the house.

Landrum council members seemed keenly interested in of-fering the service to the city’s own residents when Edgens proposed the idea in July.

“It’s been a good program over there [in Polk County] a n d f r o m w h a t I ’ v e heard it has done a lot for their elderly r e s i d e n t s , ” said Landrum City Council-

man Johnny Carruth. Polk County has offered to

allow Landrum to run a pilot version of the program through its system for up to about 50 people, Pack said.

Edgens said he conserva-tively thinks 30-35 people might be interested in partici-pating in the program initially. If the actual number grew far

“[RUOK has] been a good program over there [in Polk County] and from what I’ve heard it has done a lot for their elderly residents.”

-- Johnny Carruth

beyond these expectations, he said the city might have to look into purchasing its own system.

Edgens said based on re-search he’s done, the cost of an automated call system would be about $7,500.

“If people really like it and it gets going, we’ll have to keep it going,” Edgens said.

Mayor Robert Briggs and other council enthusiastically gave their approval for Edgens to move forward with a pilot version of the program.

“Another thing it does is it builds a relationship between the police department and the citizens,” said Briggs.

Landrum residents inter-ested in participating in a pilot version of the program can call the Landrum Police Department at 864-457-7281. Anyone who wants to be added to the program in Polk County can call Pack at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office at 828-894-3001.

Fire destroys Red Fox homeLocal firefighters responded

to two structure fires on Aug. 9, following a thunderstorm that produced strong lightning and heavy rain. A home located at 1205 Hooper Creek Road in the Red Fox Country Club subdivi-sion was destroyed. Firefighters also fought a fire on Joy Lane in the Sunny View community the same night.

Polk asks DOT to move up Hwy. 9 resurfacing on schedule

Polk County commissioners approved a resolution urging the N.C. Department of Trans-portation (DOT) to put resurfac-ing Hwy. 9 near Polk Central Elementary School higher on its priority list. Commissioners Aug. 6 unanimously approved the resolution that said the road’s condition from Hwy. 74 to Mill Spring is “suboptimal and poses a potential hazard to safe driving.” The state later approved moving the resurfacing to this fiscal year.

Planning board chooses 25-percent slope as threshold for engineering studies

The Polk County Planning Board chose a 25-percent slope as the threshold for requiring an engineer to conduct studies prior to building. The planning board met Aug. 9 and approved the 25-percent threshold in Article 24 of the proposed Unified Develop-ment Ordinance (UDO), which deals with regulations for steep slopes. Members Lisa Krolak, Da-vid Smith, Susan Welsh and Harry Petersen voted in favor of the 25-percent threshold while mem-bers Bill Ennis, Wayne Horne and Lee Bradley voted against. The planning board later made changes to the draft and selected a 30-percent slope threshold.

Pedestrian hit by vehicle on Mills St.

A pedestrian was struck by a vehicle in downtown Columbus on Aug. 11. According to po-lice reports, at 12:39 a.m., the Columbus Police Department investigated a collision involving


a vehicle and a pedestrian at the intersection of Mills Street and Peak Street in front of the Copper Mill restaurant. The report said a Ford F-150 driven by a man from Mooresville, N.C. was traveling west on Mills Street (N.C. Hwy. 108) and struck the pedestrian in the intersection. The report said the investigation revealed the pedestrian, Jonathan Daniel Delby of Spartanburg, S.C., who was highly intoxicated, was sit-ting in the roadway, wearing dark clothing. Delby was transported by Polk County EMS to Spartan-burg Regional Medical Center, where he was listed in serious but stable condition. Delby was charged with impeding traffic and intoxicated and disruptive behavior. The driver of the truck was not charged.

Two fatal car wrecks in same day

Two separate fatal car ac-cidents occurred in Polk County on Aug. 14. Both involved single drivers and only one vehicle. Sgt. Troy Mundy of the N.C. Highway


Jim Wiprut, H.I.S.

Patrol reported that at approxi-mately 12:30 a.m. on Aug. 14, a single car wreck claimed the life of Anthony Hal Fisher, 56, of Lake Bowen, S.C. Another single car wreck later Aug. 14 claimed the life of 29-year-old Derek Toney.

First Landrum Quilt Trail blocks ready

The first two w o o d e n q u i l t blocks on the Lan-drum Quilt Trail were completed. A quilt block called “Courthouse Steps,” was installed at Landrum City Hall, while one called “Jacob’s Lad-der,” was installed at the Landrum Fire Department. A quilt trail is a series of wooden painted quilt blocks displayed outdoors along a designated route in various locations, such as storefronts, barns and gardens. The Landrum Quilt Trail received a $5,000 grant through the Mary F. Kessler Fund of the Polk County Community Foundation. The Kessler Fund grant provided quilt blocks for O.P. Earle Elementary School, the Landrum Library, the Hospice Thrift Barn and the Thermal Belt Habitat for Humanity ReStore.

Mayor Alan Peo-ples broke the tie in favor of the town helping to pay for the carp.

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.

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.

Since newsletter and newspaper columns get written well in advance of the publication date authors have to think and project themselves ahead several weeks each time. It can be a challenging task now and then.

As I write this we are in the middle of the second week of Advent and the numerical date is 12-12-12, and at 12:12:12 p.m. we will be in the church listening to the second of our Advent concert series; certainly an auspicious mo-ment for Mendelssohn.

In a few more days 12-21-12 will have come and gone, and if you are read-ing this, the world did not

end and the space aliens did not come and suck out our brains. There will not be another 12-12-12, or any other similar sequence during any of our lifetimes, and the whole Mayan Long Count calendar brouhaha will pass into memory just as did the oft expounded impending apocalypse of the year 2000. Nonethe-less, these days of 12’s and 21’s have an impact on our imaginations.

By now it is 2013, Christ-mas is past, and we are in the season of Epiphany – the season of the revealing of the Christ child to the world in the persons of the Magi.

It is a time of new begin-nings and new hope, new challenges and new endeav-ors. The calendar year has turned once again and we are left with the question, “What now?”

What now, indeed. Dur-ing Epiphany we are called to pay very close attention to the fact that in Jesus of Nazareth, born a poor, homeless infant, was em-bodied the living presence of God the Father as God the Son. The puzzle that faces us is how do we incor-porate into our poor limited intelligence the vastness of what it means for God to choose to be born as one of us, grow up as one of us, live as one of us, and face the perils and vagaries

of life not just as one of us but for us. While the short season of Christmas cel-ebrates the birth of Jesus as the Son of God, the season of Epiphany celebrates the incarnation and invites us to explore and live into what the abiding presence of God among us means to us and for us.

The Magi, who were not Jews and certainly not Christians, were drawn by their own arts of observa-tion to recognize that God had moved the cosmos in a manner thereunto unknown and which had never been experienced. In short, real-ity took a radical shift as God became a living pres-ence in the world of human beings.

No longer is God a tran-scendent reality “up there”

• Season(continued from page 8)

(continued on page 9)

to be appeased and pla-cated with sacrifices and offerings. Now God is here, present with us and in us through Christ being the source of our ability to be a divine sacrifice for one another. The Magi brought Jesus gifts fit for an earthly king in those days, but what they found was wholly un-expected – they found the heavenly monarch of our souls in the form of a child who needed nothing from them but had everything to give them, as he has every-thing to give us.

It is a new day and a new time – a time of renewal, reinvigoration and rededi-cation. Let us not waste it.

eSskunk was captured on Sept. 7 off Hwy. 108 in Pea Ridge. The first rabid animal of the year, also a skunk, was captured on Sept. 4. The second skunk attacked a cat and killed some kittens in the Pea Ridge Community, Herman said.

Doves released in 9/11 cer-emony

About 120 people attended a 9/11 commemoration ceremony in Landrum on Tuesday, Sept. 11. The crowd included personnel from several area fire, police and emergency services departments.

Polk to sponsor Green River Games

The majority of Polk County commissioners agreed to spend $10,000 of occupancy tax money to sponsor a new event called the Green River Games. Event orga-nizer John Grace of AMONG-STiT gave a presentation about the event to commissioners Sept. 10 at the Polk County Middle School. Then commissioner chair

Ray Gasperson, vice-chair Renée McDermott and commissioner Cindy Walker approved spon-soring the games and commis-sioner Tom Pack voted against the sponsorship. Commissioner Ted Owens was absent. The county’s economic and tourism develop-ment commission (ETDC) sup-ports the county’s sponsorship and agreed to add an additional $3,500 from its budget for a total of $13,500 from the county.

P o l k b e a t s LHS in overtime 28-21

“Nail-biter,” “down to the wire,” “come-from-behind vic-tory,” “disappointing last-second loss” – these are just some of the clichés that could be used to refer to the Landrum versus Polk County game Sept. 7. In what has to be one of the most exciting games in recent history, it took overtime to settle this contest. The game was tied 21-21 at the end

of regulation and the final results were determined by a mere yard. In overtime, Polk scored on its possession and Landrum came up one yard short on its final down. The game ended Wolverines 28, Cardinals 21. Polk had never led the game until its overtime score.

Landrum approves 2012-2013 budget

The City of Landrum has a new budget that includes no tax in-creases and a raise for full-time em-ployees. Landrum City Council met

Sept. 11 and held a public hearing prior to approving the budget for fiscal year 2012-13, which began Oct. 1. The budget includes an increase in tax revenues from the current budget of $502,910 to an estimated $550,000 next year. As of May, Landrum had received $533,337 in tax revenue for the 2011-2012 fiscal year. The increase for employees will be the first increase since 2011. The increase will cost the city approximately $23,000.

Saluda School recognized as National Blue Ribbon School

Saluda Elementary School was recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School. U.S. Sec-retary of Education Arne Duncan recognized 269 schools as 2012 National Blue Ribbon Schools based on their overall academic excellence or for making progress in improving student academic achievement levels. The depart-ment honored approximately 219 public and 50 private schools at a recognition ceremony on Nov. 12-13 in Washington, D.C. In its 30-year history, the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program has bestowed this coveted award on nearly 7,000 of America’s schools.

About 300 residents attend UDO hearing

When Polk County residents were asked for their opinions regarding a proposed unified development ordinance (UDO), phrases such as “loss of liberty” and “loss of property rights” rang through the auditorium. Approxi-

mately 300 residents attended a public hearing and special meet-ing held Sept. 17 by the Polk County Board of Commissioners in the Polk County High School auditorium. Of the 64 residents who made comments, 52, or more than 81 percent of the speakers, said they oppose the UDO. Com-missioners and the planning board have since deleted controversial sections of the proposed UDO which has not yet been adopted.

Denton retires after 30 yearsThe Town of Columbus hon-

ored Lt. Bobby Denton for his 30 years of service in law enforce-ment. Columbus Town Council met Sept. 20 and presented Den-ton with a plaque and resolution and honored him by giving him his badge and firearm.

Fire demolishes home in Pea Ridge

A Pea Ridge family’s home burnt to the ground on Sept. 24 despite the efforts of about 40 firefighters. No one was injured, but the family lost their dog in the fire. Mill Spring Fire Chief Trent Carswell said his depart-ment was dispatched around 3 p.m. to 1151 Manus Chapel Road, where firefighters found the house fully engulfed. The family, consisting of Tom Hix and his daughter’s family, Michael and Dollie-Brooke Reid and their two children, had just finished moving into the home the day before.

Carswell retires after 32 years in transportation depart-ment

A retirement party for Polk County Transportation Director Jewell Carswell and secretary and driver Tena Reid was held Sept. 28. Carswell retired after 32 years serving the department. Reid had been with the department almost 17 years.

Fork Creek Road to get guardrail

Polk County commissioners to hear public comments regarding the state’s plan for secondary road improvements in 2013. A group of residents requested that the state

install a guardrail along a section of Fork Creek Road because they said they feared vehicles could drop off a large embankment.

County commissioners also approved a resolution in support of the state installing a guardrail there. Costs for the Fork Creek

guardrail installation are estimat-ed at $165,000, with about half of the funding already obtained.

Falderal Winery will teach two classes on making wine in January: Saturday, Jan. 12, from 3-6 p.m., and on Thursday, Jan. 31, from 5:30-8:30 p.m.

In each session, students will learn the art of making wine – us-ing either fresh fruits or a wine-making kit. Classes are held at Falderal Winery, in downtown Hendersonville. Reservations must be made in advance. Cost of each class includes the class/demonstration, one bottle of wine from Falderal Winery and a tast-ing of various wines available at Falderal. For more information, call 828-693-7676 or email info@

falderalwinery.com to sign up or for more information.

“If you choose to make wine using one of our kits you’ll pro-duce about 30 bottles of good wine ready to serve in 28 to 45 days, depending on the type of wine you’re making,” said Paul Kovacich. Kovacich is winemaster at Falderal Winery and teaches the classes. “Folks who want to start a winemaking project using their own fruits will learn a lot, too.”

Falderal Winery is open Tues-day - Friday 11 a.m.-6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Polk BOE swears in members



Lets pick up from last time. To finish the

crank baits out, you need some shallow runners. These work best in warmer water, or when fish are shal-low and aggressive.

Storm Wiggle Warts, Mann’s Mi-nus series and a host of other brands have good shallow running cranks. I like more shad or bluegill colors in warm weather. White is good too as it imitates the native gizzard shad that calls out local lakes home. Again, I am not a fan of rattles, but many of the wide wobblers come with rattles so “whataya” do?

Lets put jerk baits and wake baits here too. Floating jerk baits are excellent in spawning times, while suspending jerk baits are a good weapon in cold waters of

winter. Although the overpriced Pointer baits by Lucky Craft get all the attention, and I’m sure they work, I like the Smithwick Pro Rogue. The black/ gold, with orange belly is my preference. Blue and silver is a good color too in clearer warmer water.

I spend a lot of time fishing

top waters, but my arsenal is very simple. The tried and true Zara Spook baits are still catching fish and high on my list. The full sized bait, super Spook Jr., and the smaller Zara Puppy all have their place. I like clear colored baits when top water fishing. Most baits will have a secondary color like

Lures are, left side top to bottom, Zara Spook, Super Spook Jr. and Zara Puppy. Right column, top to bottom, White skirt buzz bait and Storm Wiggle Wart. (photo submitted)

green or blue, but the clearer the bait the better for me. Again no rattles if possible, I have even been known to drill and glue the rattles to silence the bait.

I like the hard to find Excalibur Spittin’ Image baits, they are walk

the dog baits like the Spook, but a little more compact. I have to buy saltwater baits to find the clear colors with no rattles, but the ef-fort is worth it. Saltwater baits usually come with poor hooks for freshwater fish so changing them out is not a bad idea.

A buzz bait is good to catch some bigger fish and smallies too.

Nothing fancy here, the simpler the better. No clackers, double buzzes, bubblers, just a 3/8 ounce white skirted bait. I have a buzz bait that is probably at least 15-18 years old, I don’t even know the brand any-more. The only thing that makes this bait special is the squeak of the blade. Some folks have tied buzz baits to their antennas so when they drive down the road the blade spins and wears it some on the wire so it changes the sound. I have Booyah

baits that are pretty good, but not like the “old timer.”

A buzz bait needs to get on top of the water quick, and be able to slow down and still stay on top. The speed and the sound are the important factors, not the bells and whistles.

I will try to wrap this series up next time with soft plastics. They cover a wide range of situations so it will take a little more typing to cover them.
