news briefs

Saluda wants to restart joint town/county meetings Saluda City Council expressed its desire to restart joint meetings with the towns of Tryon and Columbus and Polk County. Saluda met April 8 and said besides joint water discussions, theyd like to see signage and economic development on the agenda. The four governments had planned to meet recently but had no agenda items to discuss.

Saluda considers exempting gardening, landscaping from land disturbing ordinance Saluda City Council on April 8 approved asking its planning board to an amend its land disturb ordinance to exempt activities such as gardening and landscaping. Saluda Mayor Fred Baisden said some issues have come up following the adoption of the ordinance in September 2012. Commissioner Lynn Cass also said she was cited and told council to donate the fine she paid to the artillery proposed to be placed in Saluda.

Green River Games needs volunteers Saluda City Council announced during its April 8 meeting that the upcoming Green River Games, to be held in Saluda in September needs volunteers. Any who volunteers will receive a $10 per hour volunteering of credit at the Mass General Store.

Saluda approves resolution in support of county tag office Saluda commissioners on April 8 approved a resolution in support of a tag office located in Polk County. The Polk County Board of Commissioners also approved a resolution earlier this month. Commissioners hope to have a tag office located in the current Polk County Early College, with the school board recently purchasing a building to renovate and move the school closer to the high school.

responsibilities prior to Wolocho-wiczs last day on April 30.

Well be working to get her up to speed on some of the things that Ive been working on, said Wolochowicz.

Briggs said Martin would be tasked with seeing a number of current projects to fruition includ-ing renovations of the depot and sidewalk improvements to N. Randolph Street. He said having

her work side-by-side with Wolo-chowicz for several weeks would hopefully ensure shes well edu-cated about the tasks ahead of her.

We wanted a smooth transi-tion and I think things are going to work out just fine, Briggs said.

Landrum interviewed four other candidates, along with Mar-tin, out of the almost 30 applicants it received.

Filling Steves shoes, we knew, was going to be real dif-ficult for us because hes been a

great administrator, Briggs said. I think getting someone young in that position might bring some new ideas to the table. Shes eager to get to work and I think she will be a good fit for the town.

Martin said she looks forward to the challenge of carrying on the projects Wolochowicz launched as well as bringing her own thoughts and suggestions to the table.

Steves done a great job here so I want to keep the machine working, Martin said.

Im looking forward to it very much everyone Ive met has been wonderful and very welcoming.

From Easley, S.C., Martin graduated from Clemson Uni-versity with a bachelors degree in communication studies and a minor in political science. She graduated from the College of Charleston in May 2011 with a masters of public administration degree and a certification in urban and regional planning.

The awards for the 2013 Sidney Lanier Award Poetry Competition will be held at the Lanier Library on Saturday, April 27 at 2 p.m.

A reception will follow the ceremony. The program is free and everyone is welcome.

This is the fifth year for the Lanier poetry competition and it received the greatest num-ber of entries in both the adult and the student competitions, with a total of 173 submissions from poets from the mountains to the coasts of both North and South Carolina.

In an essay titled Prize-Writ-ing in the New York Times Book Review of April 7, Amanda Fore-man described how literary compe-titions have evolved over the years and some of the reasoning, and the

controversy, behind them, but she concluded that, A prize may hail a masterpiece or discover a new artist; but its fundamental purpose is to fill the silence with ideas.

When The Lanier Library decided to ex-plore the idea of a poetry prize almost six years ago, their rea-soning was to recognize and encourage de-serving Caro-lina poets and continue Try-

ons long literary tradition. It was also done to remember the work of the great Civil War poet, Sidney Lanier, a Tryon resident whose books, donated by his widow, were among the first to be circulated by the book club that became The Lanier Library in 1890.

While some literary competi-tions are funded by governments or

wealthy industrialists, many others, such as the Sidney Lanier Award, are funded only by the entry fees of the poets themselves. This year the total monetary value of the Lanier Award prizes will exceed $1,100, with a top prize of $500, but, as past winners have told us, it is the recognition of the worthiness of their work that is their greatest reward.

As she has since the beginning of the competition, Cathy Smith Bowers of Tryon is the competi-tions judge. During that time she became the North Carolina Poet Laureate, which greatly added to her busy schedule as a writer and a teacher at Queens University of Charlotte, but her commitment to the competition has been unre-strained throughout. She will, once again, present this years awards to the winning poets and all finalists in the competition.

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.
