    Thanks to Kiwanis and Rotary, the integrity and scope of the Kindermusik curriculum, taught with the passion and commitment of Instructor Bryant Belin (center) is currently building the educational foundation of our local childrenand its a lot more fun than that sounds! says Kiwanian Marianne Carruth (left). Carruth is pictured with Belin, (center) and Rotarian Beth Child (right).

    and Kiwanis clubs of Tryon, Polk County Schools and Tryon Fine Arts Center.

    Instructor Bryant Belin is currently teaching Kindermusik two days a week in the Polk County School System and at Tryon Fine Arts Center on Saturdays.

    Kindermusik International is the worlds leading provider of music and movement pro-grams for young children[offering] developmentally-specific educational programs for kids ages newborn to 7, Belin said. Music is the best vehicle for early childhood development and learning. So, we want to empower parents and teachers to instill a lifelong love of music and learning in their children.

    Since January of 2012 Tryon Fine Arts Center has offered Kindermusik in the format of weekly classes and weeklong

    camps for families at the arts center building on Melrose Av-enue in Tryon. The Rotary Club of Tryon Foundation recently

    lent its support of the Saturday classes through a grant.

    Because the Saturday classes were successful, Belin and

    looking for an avenue to offer Kindermusik as an outreach to preschool students who might not be able to attend the weekly programs. After presenting an introduction to the goals and methods of Kindermusik for the Tryon Kiwanis club, Belin and Carruth approached the civic organization for financial assistance in funding music edu-cation for preschool students. Kiwanis Club, an organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time, granted the request by providing partial funding for the proposed program.

    Kathy Harding, preschool coordinator for Polk County Schools saw the opportunity made possible by the Kiwanis grant, and wanted to make the music program available for all of the 3-and 4-year old classes in the system. After some adjustments to the budget, an agreement was reached and plans were made to provide the Kindermusik program from January May 2013.

    Belin is currently teaching the Kindermusik ABC Music and Me curriculum to children in Sunny View and Polk Cen-tral Elementary schools, Tryon Elementary School and Forbes

    Pre-school. Each weekly ses-sion gives children not only the opportunity to listen actively to music, but also includes focused listening activities using music, non-musical sounds and lan-guage. Classroom routines help teachers focus childrens atten-tion on listening to directions. Read-aloud stories and songs give children opportunities to practice listening and build vo-cabulary and phonological skills along with musical knowledge. Kits including CDs, stories and activities are provided to class-room teachers to reinforce the learning through the week.

    Weekly classes geared spe-cifically for families continue at Tryon Fine Arts Center with assistance of the Rotary grant. The curriculum, called Family Time, provides the same edu-cational elements as the school program, but in addition parents are given ideas for creativity, parenting support and insights into their childs development. Each week parents share in the singing, listening, creative movement and instrument play along with their children. A major component of the weekly class is the home kit, which each family receives upon reg-istering. The kits are extremely important for continuing the learning at home and contain

    ing. What do we want Ozone to look like?

    Saluda City Commissioners discussed Ozone Drive during a continuation of their Feb. 11 meeting. At that time Bright ex-pressed the need for input from the 46 property owners whose land fronts the thoroughfare. Without help and support from these owners, said Bright, prog-ress would be hard to accomplish.

    Thats the kind of initiative that we need to make sooner, than later, continued Bright because planning for development, is a big, big job.

    His comments found support from various city officials, in-cluding commissioner Lynn Cass, who said she wants Ozone Drive to be an inviting entrance into town. Both mayor Fred Baisden and commissioner George Sweet agreed with getting property own-ers together to provide input.

    Feedback included focusing on the stretch of Ozone from Laurel Drive to Main Street, but Commissioner Johnnie Kinard suggested that the effort be ex-tended all the way out (Ozone).

    Bright asked if commissioners want the planning board to work on ways to make Ozone Drive, or at least part of it, an overlay district. In an overlay district, ad-ditional restrictions are added to a particular area. Ozone Drive is currently zoned C2 (commercial). Professional office spaces with pleasing exteriors could help pro-vide a more inviting experience for those driving into town from the highway, commissioners said.

    One issue is that some busi-ness signs along Main Street and Ozone Drive are currently not in compliance with the citys ordinance about size and setback distances. However,city admin-istrator Erny Williams noted the citys intent is not to enforce all violations at once. That would be impractical, he remarked.

    City attorney Bailey Nager noted that both Cashiers and Highlands have pole signs that

    are low, and present no visual clutter. Saludas current ordi-nance specifies that no sign can project beyond any street line. Portable signs must be no more than 6-square-feet on the larg-er display side. Commissioner Sweet suggested determining a maximum total height.

    Mayor Baisden questioned whether the ordinance allows council to ask owners to repair any signs in disrepair. Williams said the ordinance does allow that, adding that if an old sign can be repaired it does not have to comply with the new ordinance. Nager said if a sign must be re-placed, the new one must comply with the ordinance, and if a sign is changed from one business to another, it also must comply.

    Discussion followed on spe-cific instances of signs that might be in violation, or are especially unattractive. In one case a busi-ness owners temporary sign in a C2 area was declared ugly. Sweet noted, If he (the owner) moves it every two weeks, and puts it back, its still ugly.

    Regarding the historic Main Street area, Sweet noted an obli-gation to businesses to have signs that tell people about them.

    Its evident to me, said Williams, that sign issues are big problems that need to be ad-dressed. It will probably take a lot of discussion to solve.

    Those in attendance at the Feb. 12 meeting also considered the is-sue of building setback distances within the city.

    Commissioners discussed how sub-size lots and narrow streets in the city, combined with potential street widening, all affect build-ing setback distance. Attorney Nager noted that street widening would affect existing structures.

    Commissioner Leon Morgan said the most fair method is to measure from edge of pavement, rather than the center of a given road. Commissioner Sweet noted the difficulty of predicting wheth-er any road will be widened, but added, If the center of the road moves, so be it.

    Sweet said he anticipates no changes in the next five years.

    Trapping cruel To the editor:

    When I read that the Polk County commissioners had ap-proved a resolution to expand trapping in Polk County, I was heartbroken.

    Apparently, this archaic idea was promoted by Wildlife Of-ficer Toby Jenkins and two or three others. Most citizens did not know that this controversial mat-ter was to be brought up on Jan. 7 and there was no information provided on alternative methods.

    In a spirit of cooperation, several of us met with commis-sioners (Keith) Holbert and (Ted) Owens before the public meet-ing on Feb. 4 and respectfully requested that they ask Represen-tative Whitmire to table the bill and allow a citizens committee the opportunity to inform the community of alternate methods to control nuisance animals.

    They suggested that we speak at the commissioners meeting that evening, which we readily agreed to do. The commission-ers sponsored the testimony of officer Jenkins and two biologists who were pro-trapping. A number of citizens spoke about why trap-ping is cruel; why it is ineffective and does not work to solve the problem; why the ban on allow-ing steel traps to take animals on leased, non-agricultural-only property should not be lifted; they requested that the commissioners work with a citizens group and officer Jenkins on alternative methods, and requested that the resolution be tabled. There was no action, no reaction and no follow-up on the part of the com-missioners.

    Since the Feb. 4 meeting, we have called and emailed the com-missioners. Chairman (Michael) Gage never returned my voice mails or emails. Despite the fact that our contacts in Raleigh have confirmed that the best and fast-

    Letter to the Editor est way to stop the bill lifting the ban on trapping is to have the commissioners table the resolu-tion, the commissioners have stated that it is now out of their hands. It is apparent that the commissioners have no interest or intention of working with their constituents who oppose trapping.

    We urge you to contact the commissioners requesting that they table the resolution and work for the benefit of the entire community.

    Their emails are: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; and [email protected].

    We want our representatives at the state level to be aware that many in Polk County do not want trapping. Governor Pat McCrory, 919-733-5811 (email him through his website, www.governor.state.nc.us/contact); Senator Ralph Hise, 919-733-3460 ([email protected]); and

    Representative Chris Whitmire, 919-715-4466 ([email protected] ).

    Despite the fact that the wildlife propaganda promotes trapping as the most humane answer to the problem of nui-sance animals, and despite the fact that they assure us that the new traps are humane and that non-target animals dont get into them, it is only common sense that any animals trapped, domestic or wild, suffer from exposure, pain, terror, lack of water and the inability to escape from predators.

    The painful truth is that trap-ping is cruel, and that trapping and removing nuisance animals, or any animals, has been proven repeatedly to be ineffective.

    Representative Whitmire, who sponsored H.B. 33, will be in Co-lumbus March 8. You can call his office to make an appointment to see him to express your opinions.

    40th anniversary of Title IX Championship-winning coach Jan Stanley has amassed an impressive array of honors and recognition.

    In her tenure as head basket-bal l coach at West Hender-son High School from 1980 to 1997, she led h e r t e a m t o nine conference championships.

    As head vol-leyball coach from 1975 to 2010, her teams brought home 30 Conference Championships and won five North Carolina State Volleyball Championships.

    In 2008 she was inducted into NC High School Athletic Asso-ciation Hall of Fame. Other ac-complishments she has achieved

    are too numerous to mention. Stanley has two daughters,

    Tiffany Lowrance and Brooke Stanley, who followed her into the coaching field. When

    Stanley retired from coaching at West Hender-sonville High in 2009, Tiffany took over the reins.

    Stanley will address the role that Ti t le IX has played in

    equalizing the role of women in athletics and the difference it has made in the contributions of women in the sports world. Her story is an example of how far womens presence in and con-tributions to athletics has come.

That dream came a little closer recently when the Saluda Public Library and the City of Saluda dedicated a storage room to safely store items donated to the group. The storage room now holds items that had been previously donated to the city along with items that are being donated to the HSC. Since the inception of the HSC, items are being donated more frequently. In addition, the HSC oral history committee needed a secure space to store the individual oral histo-ries, which are being compiled on DVDs. The HSC plans to pursue technical assistance from archival experts and hopes to pursue grant funding for this purpose. The HSC looks forward to being able to share its collection with the public when the museum comes to fruition.

    The Historic Saluda Com-mittee was formed by a group of concerned citizens who wished to preserve the historical integrity of the town. The grassroots effort spawned interest from Saluda City officials and in June 2010 the Saluda City Commissioners voted to make the committee an adviso-ry committee to the city and com-mittee members were appointed. The current committee members are Greaton Sellers, chair; Cindy Stephenson Tuttle, co-chair; Gloria Testerman, Charlene Pace, Caroline Farris, Carolyn Ashburn and Ammie Weymer. Lynn Cass

    serves as the city commissioner representative. The HSC meets on the second Friday of each month at 2 p.m. at the Saluda Public Library. The public is welcome. For more information go to www.historicsaluda.org, email [email protected] or call the City of Saluda at 828-749-2581.

    For more information about this press release contact Cindy S. Tuttle at 336-816-1826 or [email protected] or City of Saluda at 828-749-2581.

    A new year has rolled around and everyone has set their reso-lutions, but did you think about resolving to stay healthy and germ free? Let St. Lukes Hos-pital help you prevent infections before they get to you.

    There are some very practi-cal ways to stay infection free, said Lori Rothell, RN and infec-tion preventionist at St. Lukes Hospital. The obvious is stay-ing away from anyone with a runny nose or a nasty cough, but there are other things you can do to keep the infections at bay.

    Wash your hands frequent-ly. Germs can live on any surface anywhere from a few minutes to several months, said Rothell. Just think about these germs living on a com-puter keyboard, a light switch or the door handle.

    Dont share personal items

    like a toothbrush, towel, razor or nail clippers. All of these can hold bacteria and viruses.

    Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, even if you are not sick. For most infections, the disease-causing germ has already started grow-ing long before any symp-toms begin to show, explained Rothell. Coughing or sneezing can spread these germs through tiny droplets in the air. The cur-rent recommendation is to cover your mouth with your arm, sleeve, or crook of the elbow, rather than using your hands.

    Get vaccinated. I cant stress this one enough, said Rothell. Your immune system is designed to have a memory of previous infections. By get-ting vaccinated, you trick your body into thinking that it has been infected by a par-ticular germ, enhancing its own

    defenses against subsequent infection. Of course, consult your clinician about receiving vaccinations, especially the annual influenza vaccination.

    Use safe cooking practices. Germs live on many food items, and more so on foods left at room temperature. Refrigera-tion slows or stops the growth of most germs, so refrigerate foods within two hours of prep-aration. Always use separate cutting boards for raw meats and vegetables, keep clean countertops, and wash all fruits and vegetables before eating.

    Dont pick your nose (or your mouth or eyes either). Not only will others look at you a little funny, said Rothell, it leads to the spread of a num-ber of infections. Many germs prefer the warm, moist envi-ronment inside your nose, as well as other mucous-covered surfaces such as your eyes and mouth. Infections can be easily prevented by avoiding touching of these areas.

    Exercise caution with ani-mals. Infections that can spread from animals to people are more common than most people real-ize. If you have pets, make sure they get regular check-ups and that their vaccinations are up-to-date. Different types of wild animals can carry diseases such as rabies or bird flu, or fleas and ticks that spread plague and Lyme disease. Always wash your hands and make sure children wash their hands after visiting a petting zoo!

    Watch the news. The best way to understand whats go-ing on around us is to watch TV. encouraged Rothell. For example, a bird flu outbreak in Asia may make you think twice about a trip you were planning. Salmonella in tomatoes? Dont eat tomatoes.

    Luckily, our skin acts as a natural barrier against harmful germs that cause infections, but by making a few simple behav-ioral changes you can easily

    prevent the spread of many in-fectious diseases, said Rothell.

    Precaution and prevention are both necessary to protect the residents of Polk County.

    How to Wash Your Hands

    1) Turn on water, preferably to a warm, comfor table temperature.

    2) Use approximately a dime-sized squirt of liquid hand soap (or according to manufacturers instructions).

    3) Lather and rub hands together for at least 20 seconds (Sing the Happy Birthday song twice).

    4) Be sure to wash well between fingers and under nails, although using a nail brush is not necessary.

    5) Rinse all soap off hands.

    6) Using two paper towels, dry hands completely.

    7) Turn off faucet with paper towels, then discard towels in garbage can.

    Tips: - Hot water is not necessary.

    - Hand washing is most effective at washing away germs, not necessarily killing them.

    - Antibacterial soaps have not been proven to be more effective than regular soap, so use what you like.

    - Getting hands completely dry is essential in the hand-washing process. Wet hands are more likely than even dirty hands to carry germs.

    - Be sure to use the towels to turn off the faucet. Remember, you just turned it on with your dirty hands. Use a towel too, to open the door.

    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 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.

    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.

    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 taste
