Columbus officials: Downtown area has enough parking spaces for business needsTown responds to letter to editorby Leah Justice

Columbus Mayor Eric Mc-Intyre said there are enough parking spaces downtown to accommodate businesses. The

problem, he said, is how the spaces are being utilized.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Sept. 20 and dis-cussed parking and other issues related to two private businesses downtown. The discussion was in response to a letter to the edi-

tor submitted by Elton Cochran, which said it seems that Colum-bus tables every issue (see page 9 in the Aug. 22 Bulletin).

the east end of town, the new Re-publican Party building fence and private parking lot and the new two-hour parking ordinance that is not being enforced.

McIntyre said the Republican Party building is a matter between two private parties and the town decided it was not going to get involved in the matter.

This has all been discussed and settled, so I dont know where this is coming from, said council-woman Margaret Metcalf.

Through research, town man-ager Jonathan Kanipe determined that town council has discussed the private party matter 11 times since February 2011.

Thats 60 percent of the meet-ings we have had, McIntyre said.

Metcalf said on the parking is-sue the town has given solutions to the problems by asking employees to park in spaces other than in front of businesses.

Theres only so much we can do, said Metcalf.

The town has heard requests in the past to purchase land for a public parking lot to serve down-town businesses, particularly on the block that includes Copper Mill, the Brick, Calverts and the Second Chance Thrift Store, among other businesses. Columbus officials

have said there are almost always empty parking spaces in front of Stearns and along other blocks downtown and there are no avail-able lots closer than those spaces for the town to purchase.

Columbus Police Chief Chris Beddingfield also said his officers have done parking studies recently and determined there are almost al-ways open spaces at any time of the day downtown. Those open spaces just may not be in front of the block that includes the Brick, he said. On only one occasion during the study were there were no parking spaces open, Beddingfield said.

For the last five to six weeks, Beddingfield also said a part-time officer has gone into each business to alert them he was doing parking enforcement and employees whose vehicles were in violation moved them with no problems.

In my opinion thats not, not doing anything, Beddingfield said. Were going above and beyond. We are addressing the problem the best way we can address it.

Beddingfield also said the town has offered legal, town and law enforcement advice on the private property matter between the Re-publican headquarters and the Brick concerning access to the rear of the property. He said the town cannot police on private property and the town cannot make decisions regard-ing private property.

and session three covers Control with Balance 1: Achieving Natural Balance. Each session is a com-plete module in itself.

Classes will meet Tuesday evenings from 6- 7:30 p.m. at Bet-ter Transitions Training Center. Session two meets Oct. 16 30 and session three runs Nov. 6 20. Class size is limited.

Instructors are Lynn Brown, owner, and Dana Fadeley, farm manager and assistant head trainer of Better Transitions Training Center.

A passionate equestrian, Lynn Brown has been a professional instructor of natural horsemanship for 18 years. She studied at the In-ternational Study Center for Parelli

Horsemanship. Several years ago she moved to Polk County, set-tling on an 80-acre farm where she set up her training center, Better Transitions.

Brown said, If I train your horse, he learns to respect me which does nothing to change his perception of you. Your horse alone now possesses the new knowledge which will only translate temporar-ily into new behaviors. However, when I empower you with the knowledge to communicate like a leader with your horse, he will also learn to willingly honor your ideas and respect your leadership. No one can take that away from you.

To register, call 828-894-3092. More information is available at www.bettertransitions.com.

Hise mailer extremely misleading

To the editor:Like many of your readers, I have

been inundated with mail from the state Republican Party touting state senator Ralph Hise and his record in this extreme and reckless Gen-eral Assembly. Some are filled with claims that are at best misleading and at worst outright fabrications.

Mr. Hise claims that he cut taxes for all North Carolinians. The truth is that Republicans promised not to raise taxes, but then turned

around and hiked fees on most state services. It will now cost taxpayers more to get a drivers license or even a marriage license. Community col-lege and university system classes will now cost more, along with a variety of state inspection fees. The gas tax rose to a record high in our state this year after the Senate refused to cap it, hitting everyone every time you fill up.

Hise claims that he helped in reducing government spending, eliminating waste, and cutting bureaucracy. Since when have teachers and economic development been considered waste? Last years Republican budget cut more than 6,000 education positions while giv-ing millions of dollars in tax breaks

Letter to the editor to the rich. The budget Hise voted for puts North Carolina at 45th out of 50 states in per-student spending. It made the largest cuts ever in the history of our community college and university systems.

Hise also sponsored deep cuts in programs that support job cre-ation and economic growth in rural North Carolina. He even sponsored a bill to take away already-awarded Golden Leaf Foundation grants for vital projects in counties he represents. In his most egregious claim, Hise says, He voted to add over 2,000 state-funded teachers to our classrooms. No matter how you look at it, the budget did not add teachers to North Carolinas schools it forced school districts

across the state to fire teachers. Ac-cording to the Department of Public Instruction, the budget Hise voted for led to the firing of 915 teachers and 2,042 teaching assistants. Next year, North Carolina stands to lose thousands more educators unless we do something.

We need to reject Hise and the rest of this extreme legislature. Im voting for Hises challenger, Phil Feagan, because he supports educa-tion and local job creation. Feagan would also be the first member of the General Assembly from Polk County since 1966. Its way past time for our community to get some representa-tion. I urge everyone to find out more at www.philfeagan.com.

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.

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

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 Institutions 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.
