missioners will hold a special meeting tonight to hear from the county’s six fire departments, the Harmon Field Board of Su-pervisors and the Polk County Rescue Squad regarding re-quests for next year’s budget.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the Womack building, located in Columbus.

The Colum-bus and Mill Spring fire de-partments each have requested a one-cent tax increase this year from the county. Saluda Fire and Rescue has requested a one-cent increase from the city, not from the county’s portion of the budget.

Columbus has requested an increase from 4 cents to 5 cents per $100 of property valuation in order to hire three employees so the department can be staffed 24 hours a day. Currently Co-lumbus has a paid fire chief who works first shift Monday through Friday.

A one-penny increase for Columbus would mean an ad-ditional $64,000 from Columbus Township residents. Columbus also collects city taxes for the fire department.

Mill Spring has requested to increase its tax from 5 cents to 6 cents per $100 of valuation. Mill Spring is asking for the increase to help offset increased fuel costs and increases in other supplies used by the department. Mill Spring fire officials said if

approved, this would be the first fire tax increase in four years.

A one-penny increase in Mill Spring would mean an additional $32,000 for the department.

Harmon Field, the rescue squad, Tryon, Saluda, Sunny View and Green Creek fire departments are not requesting any increases from the county tax rates.

Saluda is asking for the city fire tax rate to increase from 5.5

cents per $100 o f p r o p e r t y valuation to 6.5 cents, which would match its current Polk County tax rate of 6.5 cents.

Tryon’s fire tax rate is 4.8

cents per $100 of valuation; Green Creek is 4.1 cents per $100 of valuation; Sunny View is 6 cents per $100 of valuation and Harmon Field is 3.5 cents per $100 of valuation. Saluda residents also have a Saluda School tax of 3 cents per $100 of valuation.

Whitson presented his recom-mended budget to commission-ers on May 7. It included no tax increases. Whitson said he has never submitted a proposed bud-get with a tax rate increase in his eight years as county manager, nor does he believe in using fund balance for general operations.

“I am again this year opposed to any tax increase for any of the citizens of Polk County,” Whit-son told commissioners.

Commissioners will hear from the fire departments to-night and discuss the requested increases.

Bright responds to McDermott’s comments on MRPO proposal

Editor’s note: Henry Bright, a member of the UDO commit-tee and the Saluda Planning Board issued the following statement in response to Polk commissioner Renée McDer-mott’s statement on proposed changes to the MRPO.

I have read commissioner Renée McDermott’s statement concerning the proposed amend-ments to the Mountainside and Ridgeline Protection Ordinance (MRPO), which appeared on page 6 in the Tryon Daily Bul-letin

It is unfortunate that Mrs. McDermott has chosen to distort and misrepresent many of the facts surrounding this issue.

First, Mrs. McDermott states that I was “unaware” of various issues and consequences prior to making my proposed amend-ments at the final meeting of the UDO committee on May 9. This is far from the truth. I have been a member of the UDO since its inception two years ago. I was also a member of the 20/20 Visioning Committee, which developed Polk County’s com-prehensive development plan. Currently, I serve as the chair of the Saluda Planning Board.

I am a proponent of equity and responsible growth for the entire county. Mrs. McDer-mott’s alarm bells concerning “unlimited commercial exploi-tation and a proliferation of 8,000-square-foot metal build-ings” weren’t sounding off when she voted for those very same things at elevations below 1,650 feet. Where was her concern for the beauty of Polk County then?

Additionally, Mrs. McDer-mott states that the 30-percent slope criterion mentioned in my proposed amendments was contrary to the input of the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Yet, the UDO Committee has already adopted ordinance language at 1,650 feet elevation and greater

that provides specific require-ments for slopes of 30 percent or more.

These requirements include: soils report; hydrology report; erosion and sedimentation con-trol, etc. Thus, if the county planning board and commis-sioners approve of the UDO’s amendments, the above protec-tions of our mountain terrain and ridgelines will apply to all of Polk County and will no longer be an ordinance for just 1,650 feet and higher.

Mrs. McDermott states that I “rushed” this through the UDO committee on one night, without any prior notification or without any opportunity to determine its full implications. This is simply not true. The committee has had numerous discussions on this is-sue over the past several months. Many citizens have turned out to the UDO meetings, most to show their concern over this in-equitable elevation requirement. I have personally had discus-sions with Mrs. McDermott and other committee members prior to the May 9 meeting.

While Mrs. McDermott criti-cizes that I did not have enough written copies of my motion for all members, the fact of the mat-ter is that most of the proposals before the committee are done orally, with nothing written handed out in advance.

Contrary to Mrs. McDer-mott’s statement, I had no power to “force a vote” by the commit-tee, but did insist on a showing of hands in support or opposi-tion. The majority of the UDO Committee agreed with the amendments.

Protecting our beautiful mountains is important to me; so are equity and the ability to have responsible growth in all areas of the county.

Going forward, it is impera-tive that we all work to have our voices heard at the upcoming county planning board meet-ings.

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.

tongues to sweat? Dogs do not have sweat glands like

humans, so they use their tongues and the pads of their feet to

release heat.

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.

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

sports Landrum sophomore grabs state title in pole vaultingby Joey Millwood

When Shelby Morris was in ninth grade, track wasn’t even on her radar.

She can remember the first conversations she had with Lan-drum Coach Russell Mahaffey about track.

“I didn’t want to come out,” she said. “After talking to Coach Mahaffey, I went and tried it.”

On Saturday, she didn’t just try it; she dominated. Morris, now a sophomore, won the 1A South Carolina High School League pole vault championship at Spring Valley High School on Saturday, May 12 with a vault of 9 feet.

Her success on Saturday just reaffirms what Mahaffey saw in her in the first place.

“She’s an athlete,” Mahaffey said. “She can do anything.”

For Morris, it was a bitter-sweet day. After the dust settled and the sophomore knew she had won, she continued to jump, showing just how much Mor-ris loves track now. She made those jumps in an unsuccessful

effort to break the school record, which is one inch higher than her championship vault. She has two years left, however, so that record probably won’t stand for long.

Last season the Lady Car-dinals finished runner up in the

state finals, but this year they earned a respectable top 10, led by her first-place finish. She finished as runner-up in the state last year, but this year she finished with a medal around her neck.

Polk High women’s 4x400 relay state champions againPolk County High School’s

dominating women’s 4x400 Meter Relay Team exceeded expecta-tions Friday, May 11 at the NCH-SAA 2A State Championships held at NCA&T University.

Polk County won the state title in the event last year with a time of 4:10. Polk’s fastest time coming into championships this year was a 4:06. With several teams across the state posting equivalent and faster times this season, Polk’s runners had their work cut out for them.

Polk’s time of 4:17 at the re-gional qualifying meet barely put it in the fast heat and the team had

to operate out of lane eight. Senior Mary Kate Christiansen

ran a strong first leg, passing the baton to sophomore Autumn “the Rocket” Miller, who passed four runners over her last 150 meters to bring the baton to third-leg se-nior Casey McDowell. McDowell posted the fastest 400 split of her life and handed off the baton to anchor-leg senior Rebecca Elliott, who quickly established a lead and held off a late surge down the home-stretch from Cuthbertson High. Polk crossed the line in 4:02.37, setting a new school record.

Polk’s 4x4 performance quali-fied them for the Meet of Champi-

ons May 26 at WSSU, where the top finishers from all classifica-tions 1A-4A will square off. The relay team also qualified them for Outdoor Nationals.

Elliott placed ninth overall in the 800 Meter Run at 2:25, and the Lady Wolverine 4x800 Relay (Elliott, Miller, McDowell and Shelby Wells) placed ninth in 10:59.

Markece Cunningham placed eighth in men’s shotput (47-01) and seventh in discus (137-03). Senior Cary Littlejohn placed eighth in men’s long jump (20-07.5) and ninth in the 200 meter (22.77). Senior Andy Conner ran

a personal record, placing fifth in the 400 meter (50.06). Kevin Angier scored no-height in pole vault and the 4x400 relay (Mason Umlauf, Littlejohn, Kyle Whitson and Conner) placed 15th in 3:37.

Complete results are available at www.ncmilesplit.com.

The team was welcomed home by a cross-county motorcade local fire departments, police and other emergency personnel. Some met the team as far out as County-Line Road and many more joined at Laughter Pond and escorted them to Food Lion in Columbus at 11 p.m.– article submitted by Jenny Wolfe

Polk soccer beats East Lincoln to advance in playoffsby Samantha Hurst

A heated overtime soccer match against East Lincoln Friday, May 11 ended in victory for the Polk County High School Lady Wolverines.

Ellese Cash came up with the winning goal, her second on the evening, in the 104th minute. Cash knocked the ball into the net off an assist from Mckenna Callahan, who laid the ball across the goal after Lyric Flood tossed it in during the second period of overtime against the Mustangs.

“We expec ted a pre t ty competitive, close game and that’s what we got,” said PCHS Head Coach Lennox Charles.

The Wolverines ended the game 3-2 with that goal.

Charles said Cash made all the difference offensively for the Wolverines.

“She definitely played her best game of the year Friday,” he said. “She worked very hard and was dangerous that night. She made East Lincoln have to constantly worry about her.”

Cash had also opened up scoring Friday night with the Wolverines’ first goal in the first three minutes of the game, Charles said. Polk scored again, going up 2-0 off a Samantha Firby goal, assisted by Alessandra Akers.

“Talking to the East Lincoln

coach after, he said he felt the biggest difference in the game was us getting those goals early,” Charles said. “They were unsettled for most of the first half of the game and by the time they got settled we were ahead.”

Charles sa id he also believes his team playing consistently well on defense played a key role in the win.

“As a whole we played really good soccer,” Charles said. “Everyone we put in made a solid contribution.”

Charles pointed out the well-played games of Lyric Flood and Jessica Pullara saying they both stepped up in this game.

“Jessica works really hard and gets up and down the field,” Charles said. “She’s somebody who doesn’t always get on the stats sheet but I thought she really stepped up and had a really great game.”

Polk’s defense did give up two

goals to East Lincoln – one in the 28 minute from a free kick to make it 2-1 going into half time and another to tie the Wolverines in the 61 minute.

With this overtime win, Polk heads to South Iredell to face the Lady Vikings Wednesday, May 16 at 7 p.m.

Charles said he knows this will be a tough match as South Iredell advanced to 20-2 on the season after an 8-6 win Saturday.

“They gave up some goals on Saturday but the thing with them is they are very hard to stop with their best players on offense,” he said. “If you can get down to their end you can score, but getting down there is the challenge because they are so strong offensively.”

A win over South Iredell would put the Wolverines in the quarterfinal against either Owen or Shelby.

Polk High baseball loses in first round of state playoffsby Samantha Hurst

Polk County baseball suffered a heartbreaking defeat at home against Smoky Mountain Friday, May 11 in the first round of state playoffs.

The Mustangs took down the Wolverines 5-0 early in the game and the score never changed.

PCHS Head Coach Ty Stott said though the Wolverines were matched against a third seed it all came down to who brought their best out Friday night.

“We were 14-0 but didn’t bring

our A-game,” Stott said. “They seemed to bring theirs. We just never put the pressure on them.”

Stott said the Wolverines espe-cially needed to put more pressure on the Mustang’s pitcher Friday night.

“We never forced him to adjust or battle the way we needed to,” Stott said. “You’ve got to make him think and we were going up there trying to predict what he was going to do and you can’t do that against a left-handed pitcher.”

Several Wolverines did get on base, including Wes Brady, Alec

Philpott, Bryce Martin and others, but the team couldn’t convert those opportunities into scores. Stott said he believed Smoky Mountain and their first-year head coach came into the game feeling they had nothing to lose and put everything on the table.

“They threw everything they had at us tonight,” Stott said.

And in the end he said Smoky Mountain, which the Wolverines beat 8-2 earlier in the year, knew the Wolverines’ weaknesses.

The one weakness that seemed to plague the team all year – inju-

ries - caught up with PCHS again May 11 with pitcher Roberto Taft out. Stott said he believed early on that the Wolverines could be conference champs this year, but he said had someone told him they’d do it with all the injuries they faced, he’d never have believed them.

“I think this field has a lot of magic but not tonight,” Stott said. “It’s depressing for these seniors that it has to end this way but I think that conference championship is really going to mean a lot to a lot of people and that’s something to be proud of.”

Slow Food Foothills – Springing up a fundraiser Saturday, May 20

Slow Food members, guests, chefs, winemakers, musicians, local school students and vol-unteers will mix and mingle, eat, drink, dance and build commu-nity over slow food this coming Sunday, May 20 from 4 – 8 p.m.

The convivial experience w i l l b e s a -v o r e d a m i d the Tuscany-esque setting of Overmoun-tain Vineyard and Winery in Green Creek. The evening will entertain from auction to appe-tizers, live music sets and local foods while it raises needed funds for Slow Food Foothills’ local programs and projects.

Stone Soup Restaurant, lo-cated in Landrum and owned by Suzanne Strickland, will cater the event, and the media sponsor is WNCW.

Entertainment will be pro-vided by Gig Dover and The Big Love. Opening for Gigi will be Cole Pellatt of Saluda (my son, a PCHS senior) and the PCHS Percussion and Sax Ensemble,

a Slow Food in Schools ap-plicant for local foods support during their 2012 summer camp session.

A silent auction will tempt the crowd with items like dinners for two, tickets for two to the WNC Food and Wine Show and

a local chef and cooking class experience in your home.

Tickets can be purchased online at www.

brownpapertickets.com or at La Bouteille in Tryon and Over-mountain Vineyard and Winery in Green Creek. Call me if you have any questions: 828-817-2308.

Slow Food is a non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-sup-ported international organization that was founded in 1989 to counteract fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwin-dling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world. To do

that, Slow Food brings together pleasure and responsibility, and makes them inseparable.

Slow Food Foothills kicked off with founding members Lee and April Mink of LEAP Farm, on Oct. 23 in Mill Spring, where approximately 125 folks converged to celebrate the fall bounty of homegrown food. Since then, the growing group meets monthly for a potluck and brief reports on developing proj-ects and committee work. Cur-rent committees include Slow Food in Schools: putting good, clean, fair food and growing practices before the students of Polk County; Slow Food Com-munity Outreach: speaking to groups and setting up booths and fundraisers for local agriculture, and Gleaners for Good, a stew-ardship program working with Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry, the Society of St. Andrews of WNC and the Welcome Table program developing at the Sa-luda Methodist Church.

Thank you, foothills farms and families, for building com-munity in good taste.
