board recommendation. The town also amended its permitted use table renaming convalescent homes and group care facilities to nursing homes, assisted living facilities and group care facilities and took the use out of the R1 (residential) district and allowed the use in the HC (highway commercial) district.
Columbus meeting was full of residents from the Holly Hills subdivision and area mental health professionals.
Columbus first began discussing changes to its zoning ordinance af-ter Synergy in Action Inc. proposed to add another family care home in the Holly Hills subdivision.
Synergy in Action currently has a family care home in Holly Hills that has been there since 2002.
The town began looking at its zoning ordinance and discovered it went against state and federal law because family care homes were not allowed in all residential Columbus districts. At the same time, several Holly Hills residents got involved and began expressing concern to Columbus officials about a second home being located in their neigh-borhood. State law allows local governments to restrict family care homes to a maximum distance of half mile apart.
Holly Hills resident Linda Ste-venson said her concern is traffic. She said she doesnt care what anyone tells her she believes a group home brings more traffic than a single family would bring.
Holly Hills resident Jim Dorsett said the group home currently in
Holly Hills has some of the great-est people there. But he also said Synergy in Action is a business and when they have meetings there are 10 to 15 cars parked around the home. He did mention that hes with the fire department and when he has gone on medical calls the home is well organized, staff well trained and the houses are well kept.
Were not against the people, Dorsett said. We know group homes are necessary. Were just concerned about continued growth of group homes and (them) affect-ing property values.
Synergy in Action Executive Administrator Kathy Romich said she was not at the meeting to per-suade the town one way or another on the amendment because Synergy in Action officials know they will continue to provide services to those in need.
The home Synergy in Action was looking at in Holly Hills re-quired some upgrades, so we felt we would be improving, said Romich.
I appreciate so much the com-ments that have been made by residents that I dont think anybody here is against people with disabili-ties, she said.
She also said the individuals Synergy in Action serve are already living in our community, living in impoverished situations.
We help them become par-ticipating members of our commu-nity, she said. Were not trying to overtake or create a community of our own. Thats certainly not our goal. Wed love to have homes all over Polk County spread out be-

We deliver excellent care during one of lifes most treasured times.
Lee and Jacqueline Waters, who both work at Rutherford Regional Medical Center, knew the reputation for exceptional patient satisfaction at The Birth Place. In September, they witnessed firsthand.
The nursing staff is just so nice and helpful they took such good care of us, Jackie says. No matter how busy they were, they always made us feel like we were a priority. The couple even received a card signed by nursing staff and Dr. James Godfrey of Rutherford OB-GYN. It was something nice they didnt have to do, Lee says.
The after care offered through The Birth Place also helped to make the transition from hospital to home easier. Childbirth and Womens Health Coordinator Lucy Calhoun visited with them and helped Jackie with breastfeeding Isaac.
The Birth Place at Rutherford Regional offers compassionate, personalized care before, during and after your baby is born.

cause that integrates people in our community.
Councilwoman Ernie Kan was the sole vote against the half-mile restriction.
Kan said she still has a concern about the half-mile restriction and after looking at a picture of where family care homes could be located in Columbus after the amendment she is a little more concerned.
I understand the people about wanting not to have them so close together, said Kan. I also under-stand theres a greater and greater need for them. I think a half mile limit is too much.
Councilwoman Margaret Met-calf said Columbus isnt Asheville and Columbus isnt Raleigh. She said Columbus doesnt have as much land area so people are more restricted here as to where they can live.
In Columbus we only have so much land and we cant turn our back on what the citizens wish, said Metcalf. It isnt that I have anything at all against the people or the group homes or Synergy be-cause I do not, but I do not feel that 600 ft. is an adequate amount. The people that live in Holly Hills now have lived there for years and years; some built their own homes there. At this point in time I dont think it would be fair to go in and put 10 or 12 group homes there.
Metcalf said she has to do whats fair and the town is not saying group homes cant be in Columbus, the town is just saying it needs to be limited.
No matter what decision we make its going to be the wrong de-cision for someone and Im deeply sorry for that, said Metcalf. We were elected by the people to do what they wish.
CooperRiis Executive Director Virgil Stucker attended with statis-tical information regarding mental health. He said mental health illness affects 25 percent of families, mean-ing one out of every four families in Columbus is challenged by a family member with mental health.
He also said 10 percent of our children are on psychiatric medica-
tion and the numbers are large who need our caring and our compas-sion.
Sometimes we worry about violence, Stucker said, my good-ness look at what happened in Connecticut.
He said hes never had an issue with violence at CooperRiis or in Asheville because they are in a group home setting.
If theyre left isolated and dis-engaged from the community, left with a mother who doesnt get help, Stucker said, then youre left with what happened in Connecticut.
Statistics show us that people with mental illness are no more likely to harm you then your next-door neighbor, Stucker said.
He urged council to restrict fam-ily care homes like Asheville has done at 600 ft. apart from each other.
But Holly Hills resident Sarah Cross said 600 ft. would be ap-proximately every third house in the neighborhood.
After a pastor said restricting group homes means keeping moer people who need help in their own homes which can end up being the same situation as Connecticut.
If that gentleman would have been in a group home those chil-dren would be alive today, said the pastor.
Dorsett said he didnt appreci-ate the Connecticut shooting being brought into Columbus situation.
Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre ended the discussions by saying councils decision is based on a lot of factors. He said when you look at Columbus it is possible to get two to three group homes in town limits if they are placed properly.
I wouldnt mind one in my neighborhood, he said.
But when citizens come we have to weight that carefully, he added.
McIntyre said theres a lot of land in Polk County and a lot of land outside Columbus City Limits for group homes. He also mentioned that no one on council has any problems with Synergy or group homes and that he thinks Romich is doing a tremendous service for the community.
Of course we are disappointed

Columbus makes drug arrests
The Columbus Police Depart-ment recently assisted the United States Department of State and numerous other agencies with an investigation of identity theft.
Columbus police arrested John Blake on Oct. 31, 2009 under the alias of Douglas Scott Baker for driving while impaired. What the department discovered later was that Blake had been living under an assumed and fraudulent identity for nearly 30 years, committing many criminal offenses.
As a result of the federal investi-gation, Blake is now facing numer-ous charges in Florida, as well as having assets obtained through his

On Monday, Dec. 17 Friends of Harmon Field (FoHF) board members voted to disband fol-lowing the loss of the groups 501 (c)(3) certification.
FoHF President Lorna De-ver called the special meeting to discuss the organizations future.
We voted to disband since we had struggled for the last two years at-t empt ing to get members and officers for the organi-zation, Dever said.
F r i e n d s o f H a r m o n Field formed in June 2007 with about 50 members initially aiming to support Harmon Field through fundraising. The group obtained its official 501(c )(3) status in May 2009.
Over the last two years how-ever the group has dwindled to just four consistently active members. Dever has served the last five years as president but could not get others to step up and serve as officers, she said. Dever said a lack of manpower caused paperwork to lapse with the IRS, which also affected the groups not-for-profit status.
Despite this lack of sup-
port, Dever and the Friends of Harmon Field did host the an-nual Tour de Leaves in October, raising $1,000. Dever said that money would be used to fund landscaping at Harmon Field.
Another $2,500 collected this year from the Harmon Foundation will be allocated to the Town of Tryon for Harmon Field Heritage Days, which are set to take place March 21-24,
2013. I would
like to thank all that have he lped wi th F r i e n d s o f Harmon Field and the vari-ous events we have hosted. If there is some-one that would
like to re-create an organization such as Friends of Harmon Field, I would encourage them to step forward, contact the Harmon Field Board of Super-visors, and move forward with their talents and ideas, Dever said.
Board members will con-tinue with the legalities of disbanding after the holidays. Dever said if someone wishes to keep the effort going they would need to contact her immediately before final paperwork is com-pleted. Dever can be reached at 828-817-1544.

Rutherford Regional Health Sys-tem (RRHS) this week announced it is restricting visitation to its hospital facility due to the rise of influenza-like illness statewide and locally.
Per its policy, Rutherford Re-gional restricts visitation when influenza-like illness reports hit the 6 percent mark statewide. The North Carolina State Influenza Surveil-lance Report, which was updated on Thursday, Dec. 20, showed that reported cases of influenza-like ill-ness had reached the 7-percent mark statewide.
The hospital states that restricted visitation means:
- No children under the age of 12 should visit the hospital at all;
- Only immediate family should visit patients at the hospital;
- Any visitor with signs and symptoms of illness should not visit the hospital at all.
Rutherford Regionals safety officials began convening in No-vember and have been monitoring an historic rise in flu cases in recent weeks. Over the last two weekly reports, the officials say cases have
Rutherford Regional Health System restricts visitation due to influenzaincreased from 2.3 percent to the current 7 percent. This also is the earliest spike in such cases in over a decade. Typically, flu-like cases rise most in February.
We are extremely sensitive to the fact that these restrictions come at a time when some patients may unfortunately be hospitalized over the Christmas holiday, said Cindy Buck, CEO of Rutherford Regional. We ask that the public simply help us as much as possible to honor these guidelines for the safety and well-being of our patients and em-
ployees.RRHS safety officials continue
to stress that everyone should re-main vigilant in helping prevent the spread of flu by getting an annual flu vaccination; keeping hands washed and clean; covering coughs or sneezes with a tissue or your sleeve; avoiding close contact with others if you think you may have flu symp-toms; seeing your doctor if you are very ill; and not travelling or going to school or work while ill.

The Town of Tryon is looking for neighborhood captains to gather medical and emergency information from residents.
During its November meet-ing, town council discussed restarting a former initiative for street captains that never got off
the ground years ago.Tryon Town Manager Caitlin
Martin said street captains would be chosen in every community who could provide vital informa-tion in case of an emergency. The idea never took off with only one community gathering informa-tion from neighbors to turn over
to police previously.Mayor Pro-Tem Roy Miller
said the idea was visited about five years ago and Beryl Dade of the Eastside Community was the only person to collect infor-mation to turn into the police department.
Martin said the information would help emergency personnel in cases of extreme disaster.
The street captain would be
charged with gathering informa-tion from residents such as medi-cal issues so emergency workers would know each communitys needs in case of a disaster.
Council directed Martin to move forward with implement-ing the street captain program.
Anyone interested in becom-ing a street captain can contact Tryon Town Hall at 859-6656 for more information.

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.

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.
Did you know that it is true that if you stick your tongue to a cold, metal pole in the winter it will stick

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 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 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.
