Editors note: The Bulletin asked Good Neighbors colum-nist Kiesa Kay to catch up with Bowers, the former NC Poet Laureate and a Tryon resident.

The day Cathy Smith Bow-ers went temporarily blind, she began to see what her life was meant to be. In the two weeks she sat in darkness, shades drawn, she opened her eyes to what mattered most. All her life had been based on things seen teaching, writing, living at top-speed and flinging herself in many directions.

Although no cause for the infection ever came to light, when the cure came, Smith Bowers had discovered she had

ignation by hosting Saluda Streets Alive on Friday, June 8 from 3 - 5 p.m. The community event will be held on Meadowview Drive in Saluda and will include a giant beach ball and activity stations.

This will qualify us for eligi-bility for additional grant fund-ing, which I will be applying for to update our city playground, said Saluda City Clerk Monica Pace. This designation is also important to our community for economic development, attracting younger families to our area and promoting a healthy lifestyle that takes advantage of our beautiful natural surroundings of playing outside.

The Playful City USA com-munities are eligible for $15,000, $20,000 and $30,000 grants from Lets Play, a community partner-ship led by Dr. Pepper Snapple Group to get kids and families ac-tive nationwide. Grant recipients will be announced in the fall.

Saluda was selected for its dedication to play. Saluda is cur-rently working with the Saluda Community Land Trust to convert the former city landfill into a na-ture park, with hiking and biking trails for the community, and the city is pursuing a long-term lease on adjacent property to build a community center. Saluda is also examining the possibility of cre-ating a mobile play unit, which would have various activity sta-tions and would travel from school to school.

Playful City USA is a national non-profit from KaBOOM!, spon-sored by the Humana Foundation, that celebrates and promotes local policies that increase play oppor-tunities for children.

Saluda is one of only six cities in North Carolina that received the designation this year. Of the total 217 playful cities, 32 cities are in Florida, 26 in California, 15 in Texas and 12 in Arizona. Spartanburg, S.C. received the designation this year for its sev-enth time.

Kids of all ages play on the playground at Saluda Elementary School during its dedication service Aug. 23, 2011. Principal Ronette Dill at the time said she enjoys having an agreement with the city for citizens to use the playground and other facilities after school hours because it brings the community together.

to make some changes. I believe that if we dont stop

when we need to stop, our bodies will make us stop, Smith Bowers says. I decided I had to give up something. I always had wanted to live in the mountains, always, always.

She already had established herself as a popular writing instruc-tor and well-known poet, although she hadnt become Poet Laureate of North Carolina yet. Soon after her eyesight returned, she and her husband found their way out of the big city and into her little brown house in Tryon.

I have nev-er felt as much a part of a place as I have in this l i t t le town, Smith Bowers says. In other places, I always have been on the periphery of things. I love this town, quirky and always in-teresting.

Struggles ensued, as struggles do. Her husband came unglued, and when he died by his own hand, her friends and family gathered around her. Some of her family urged her to leave Tryon, since shed been here only two years at the time.

I already knew how to leave, Smith Bowers said. I decided I wouldnt run away this time. Id stay here.

And she kept writing. Smith Bowers spent hours with her friends at the coffee shop, and soon Tryons residents began to populate her poetry. Her poem Moonshine shows how her friends Candy and Sue helped bring her back to life.

Writing poems is my way of being semi-whole some of the time, Smith Bowers said. I used to think I would find what would fix me. After my husband commit-ted suicide, I realized I couldnt be shocked in the same way ever again. I know now that I can get past it and beyond it. I realized I

was healing when I could be joy-ous again.

She found some of that joy with her Little Sister, Belen Ak-ers, whom she has known for five years now. They believe in each other and their play dates together have brought new light to Smith Bowers time in Tryon.

She is age 10, and I call her TLP, The Little Princess, Smith Bowers said. I just have the most fun with her.

Once happiness began, it kept getting bigger. She received the most prestigious honor in North Carolina, the Order of the Longleaf Pine, bestowed on individuals who have provided exemplary service

to the state.Smith Bow-

ers joined an e l i t e , h a r d -working group that includes Dale Earnhardt, Maya Angelou, Coretta Scott K i n g , B i l l y Graham and Michael Jordan.

With some of the grant she re-ceived as Poet Laureate of North Carolina, she bought a Ford Es-cape. Smith Bowers needed a little work done on her house, a ceiling and crown moldings, and Chris Juett came into her life to fix things. Soon they planned their dream house together.

For every horrible, painful, brutal thing that has happened to me, there have been a thousand an-gels that have swept down around me, Smith Bowers says.

Her tenure as poet laureate recently reached its end, with all its obligations, and now she has time to focus more fully on her writing. When she was a little girl, shed visit her grandparents for a whole week at a time, and they would share ghost stories. Now shes working on her first novel, a ghost story, and having Juett in her life has helped her keep it going.

I read the first few chapters to Chris, and he wanted to hear the next chapter, she said. I told him it wasnt ready yet, and he told me to get going. He wanted to know what happened next.

Its mosquito season and its time for equine owners across North Carolina to talk to their veterinarians about protecting their animals from mosquito-borne diseases.

West Nile virus and Eastern Equine Encephalomyelitis are endemic across North Carolina and can cause illness or death, but they can be prevented with a sequence of two vaccines.

In 2012, there were 20 con-firmed cases of EEE and three cases of West Nile Virus, but state officials say they expect up to four

unreported cases for each one con-firmed, making the possible impact much larger.

North Carolina has an ex-tended mosquito breeding period, so every horse owner should talk to their veterinarian about how to protect their animal year-round, state veterinarian David Marshall said. In addition to getting animals vaccinated, everyone needs to be extra vigilant now to reduce the breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Take the time now to rid your yard and pasture of any standing water to reduce the risk.

The EEE and WNV vaccina-tions initially require two shots, three to four weeks apart, for horses, mules and donkeys that have no prior vaccination history. Neither vaccination fully protects the animal until several weeks af-ter the second shot, so it is best to vaccinate as early in the mosquito season as possible.

Symptoms of EEE include im-paired vision, aimless wandering, head pressing, circling, inability to swallow, irregular staggering gait, paralysis, convulsions and death.

Symptoms of WNV in horses

can include loss of appetite and depression, fever, weakness or paralysis of hind limbs, convul-sions, impaired vision or hyper-excitability.

People, horses and birds can become infected from a bite by a mosquito carrying the diseases, but there is no evidence that horses can transmit the virus to other horses, birds or people through direct contact.

programs NCDA&CS Veterinary division

Horse owners urged to vaccinate horses against mosquito-borne diseases

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.
