Polk approves resolutions to expand Hwy 74by Leah Justice

Polk, Rutherford and Cleveland counties are asking the state to expand Hwy. 74 around Shelby and extend it to Wilmington for economic benefits to the area.

The three counties met jointly on March 21 where Polk and Ruth-

erford counties approved resolu-tions for the expansions. Cleveland County was expected to approve the resolutions later.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners met April 1 and discussed the wanted expansions. Commissioner vice-chair Ted

Owens said as some know, Hwy. 74 began in the 1970s, was graded in Columbus to Hwy. 9, then funds were withdrawn and it was not completed.

like it would never be done, Ow-ens said.

Then the state constructed it to where it is today, but did not take it around Shelby, Owens said.

The three counties would like to get it done for economic reasons if for no other, Owens said.

The second resolution is asking the state to extend Hwy. 74 from Columbus to Wilmington.

The development of a South Economic Development Corridor from I-26 to Wilmington would improve commerce between west-ern North Carolina and the Port of Wilmington and be an important east-west corridor across the state of NC; and whereas, the proposed corridor will stimulate economic development opportunities in rural North Carolina from the mountains to the coast, states the resolution.

The resolution also says the corridor would create jobs across North Carolina in maritime, trans-portation, distribution, manufactur-

ing and agriculture by providing greater access to the Port of Wilm-ington, the Charlotte Metropolitan area and the Charlotte International Airport, increasing opportunities

for international trade.The proposed Hwy. 74 Eco-

nomic Development Corridor would maintain and enhance North Carolina commerce opportunities

that are currently being lost to South Carolina and Georgia as a result of access to the ports and intermodal facilities, states the resolution.

The Polk County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution asking the state to extend Hwy. 74 around Shelby and to create an interstate corridor from Columbus to Wilmington. (photo by Leah Justice)

Polk discusses fire audits every three years by Leah Justice

Polk County commissioners will discuss audits for its six fire departments during this years budget discussions as well as whether or not the county will pay for or helping to pay for those audits.

Commissioners met April 1 and heard from commissioner Keith Holbert, who suggested the county consider a three-year rotation of audits, with two departments re-ceiving audits every year. He recommended that the county look at fund-ing some of the costs of the au-dits during this years budget d i s cus s ions , which begin next month.

Commissioner Ray Gasper-son said the issue has been hang-ing out there since 2008 because of the fire departments contracts with the county. Most of the contracts require an annual audit of the fire departments.

Commissioners asked county attorney Jana Berg to review the departments contracts.

Gasperson brought up fire and rescue audits last month. Gasperson brought up the issue asking other commissioners how they respond when different organizations ask for increased tax rates. Last year the county granted the Columbus Fire De-partment a one-cent tax increase but denied the Mill Spring Fire Department an increase due to Mill Spring not having a recent audit. Columbus and Tryon fire

departments receive annual audits. Most others havent re-ceived an audit since 2006 when the county paid for them through the general fund.

On April 1, Holbert asked interim county manager Marche Pittman to give a report on how many audits have been done on the fire departments since 2008 and also asked during budget discussions that commissioners check to see whether or not the

county can help fund audits.

O n e c i t i -zen comment was made on the topic from Rene McDer-mott, who said it sounds like commission-ers are going

forward with audits and shes pleased to hear that.

Audits are not only for find-ing who did it after the fact, McDermott said. Theyre like having a health check-up for a business. Theyre for looking to see if the organization is using financial methods that could be improved to ensure safety for the funds the organization manages and to guard against the tempta-tions that naturally arise when those methods are too loose.

Commissioners have sched-uled budget work sessions for May 13, 14 and 16 and the 17th if needed. The work ses-sions will begin at 3 p.m. each day with fire departments and Harmon Field presenting their budgets to commissioners on May 16 at 6 p.m. The new fiscal year will begin July 1.

Audits are not only for finding who did it after the fact. Theyre like having a health check-up for a business.

The Western Carolina Classic Radio Club will meet Monday, April 15 at 2 p.m. on the ICC Polk Campus in Columbus.

T h e o l d time radio seg-ment will be a Shadow pro-gram, Sabo-tage by Air, w h i c h f i r s t aired on radio March 5, 1939. The Shadow was the most popular daytime show for many of its 25 years on the air.

The radio/TV presentation will be Martin Kane, Private Eye, in the adventure of The Fortune Teller. In this show, Kane is put to the test when he must identify the killer of a

young woman whose death ap-pears to be the handiwork of one of her neighbors. It is interesting to note that Martin Kane ran

concurrent ly on both radio and television.

P r o f e s -sor Hoyt will keep everyone guessing with his excellent trivia quiz.

The Spring Jazz Series is taking the day off but will return May 20 featuring Ella at her best.

Everyone is welcome and it is free to the public. It is a lot of fun recalling the good old days.

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.
