Columbus Town Council held a retreat Saturday, March 3 and prioritized the towns greatest needs, with the highest priority

Polk County library receives gift of statue Donated in honor of local author Lilian Jackson Braunby Barbara Tilly

Visitors to the Polk County Public Library (PCPL) in the past few weeks may have noticed a new piece of art outside the library.

The new artwork, created by Mayo Mac Boggs, was donated to the library in honor of local author Lilian Jackson Braun by her hus-band, Earl Bettinger. The statue is an artistic interpretation of Koko and Yum Yum, the cats in Brauns well-known The Cat Who mystery series. Inside the library are photos of the actual pets that were the inspiration for the books.

According to PCPL Director Cindy Nanney, the statue is a duplicate of one Bettinger and Braun have had for years at their home.

Nanney said Bettinger talked about how much Braun loved libraries in general and the Polk library in particular. After Brauns death on June 4, 2011, Bettinger said he wanted to do something for the library in honor of his

Council also discussed many other needs for the town during the retreat, which was facilitated by Isothermal Planning and De-velopment (IPDC) Director Jim Edwards.

Some issues discussed are either already being taken care of, such as the rehabilitation of the towns wastewater treatment plant, or will be discussed fur-ther during next years budget discussions, such as a requested one-cent tax increase for the fire department and the need to replace the dump truck for the towns public works department.

The Columbus Fire Depart-ment plans to request a one-cent tax increase in order to staff three part-time employees.

Other discussions included asking the state to install a side-

Columbus Town Manager Jonathan Kanipe and police chief Chris Beddingfield said the police station, which was created adjacent to town hall by renovat-ing a house the town formerly rented, needs to be made secure. Town officials told council that town crews are currently plan-ning how to add walls in the front room to provide a secure location for interviews.

The police department is in need of seven MDTs for patrol cars estimated at $20,131. Staff said the purchase could be made with funding in this years budget and they will determine whether portable radios can also be pur-

chased this year, or at least some of both. Eight portable radios are estimated to cost $5,600.

One of the issues the town has discussed for years is the need for more parking for downtown. Council discussed the possibility of adding parking on both sides of Ward Street.

No cost estimates have been done regarding adding parking to Ward Street, but Kanipe said it would alleviate congestion in the area during town festivals and events and would provide parking for the House of Flags Museum, which is expected to draw more

tourists to the area. After analyzing the area, the town said it thinks it could add 24 spaces on the north side of Ward Street (the veterans park side) and 11 on the south side between the fire department and Peak Street.

Columbus also plans to work on drainage issues by placing riprap in trouble areas, particu-larly along Walker Street and Beechwood and Overlook drives. Council also discussed the need to replace fire hydrants in a few areas, including Morgan Chapel and Beechwood.

Columbus will discuss many of these issues further during upcom-ing budget work sessions. The new budget year will begin July 1.

wife. He commissioned the art-ist, Mayo Mac Boggs, to make a copy of the statue and donated it to the library.

We are very honored to be the recipients of this gift, Nanney said. Lilian Jackson Brauns work and her love and support for this library will be long remembered.

Braun wrote 31 books, in-cluding 29 The Cat Who books and two collections of short stories. After Dutton pub-lished her first book, The Cat Who Could Read Backwards, in 1966, The New York Times labeled her the new detective of the year.

The Cat Who mysteries have been translated into 16 languages, distributed world-wide and sold in the millions. Her books were standards on the New York Times bestseller list. Beginning in 1990, her books reached the prestigious list for 20 consecutive years.

Braun lived for many years in Michigan before retiring to Tryon, where she lived for the last 23 years of her life.

In 2005, the Polk County Public Library in Columbus held a tribute to Braun for her lifetime achievement and community involvement. It was an evening of song, limericks, readings and

tributes. Braun served as the honorary writer in residence for the library as well as honorary chairperson of the 2005 library card sign-up campaign, for which she created the tag line, A library card is the beginning of a lifelong adventure.

The library plans to hold a dedication ceremony for the statue later this spring.

Were going to hold a cele-bration when the weather warms up a little, PCPLs Tracey Dan-iels said.We are also grateful to Cynthia Terwilliger, who has been a huge help in coordinating this project.

Creative Change film series to be shown in SaludaThe community is invited

to attend and discuss a show-ing in Saluda of a series of free films designed to inspire and encourage creativity in solving problems and creating vision. The film series and group discus-sion are sponsored by the newly reorganized group, Polk Fit, Fresh and Friendly: A Coalition for Wellness Promotion (PF3). The film series was shown in January in Tryon.

The series features four films on Successfully Following Your Vision for creative change. Pro-ducer Dewitt Jones guides view-ers to celebrate whats right with the world and to focus vision with creativity and passion. The four films will be followed by group discussion to brainstorm ideas and expound on creative change to improve the health and wellness of the community.

The Creative Change series will be held at 6:30 p.m. at the Saluda Senior Center, 64 Green-ville St., Saluda. It begins Mon-day, March 12, when the film, Celebrate Whats Right with the World, will be presented and discussed. Future films will be shown as follows:

Wednesday, March 21 - Fo-cus Your Vision and Everyday Creativity and

Monday, March 25 - For the Love of It.

We are excited to host these films again to engage our com-munity in helping shape a health-ier future for Polk County, said Anne Britton, a community vol-unteer serving on the PF3 board of directors. While each film can be viewed on its own, participants will probably find the entire series more meaningful in helping us shape a vision for a flourishing

and healthy community.Polk Fit, Fresh and Friendly:

A Coalition For Wellness Promo-tion is the new message for the former Polk County Wellness Coalition, a consortium of vol-unteers dedicated to making a difference in the health and well-ness of Polk County. The new name reflects the mission of a broad-based group of community leaders, health professionals and concerned community members working together to plan and implement effective strategies to promote wellness in our com-munity.

PF3 officials said the organi-zation recognizes that wellness is more than absence of disease and requires more than access to medical care. Wellness in-volves thriving and emphasizes such factors as physical activity, healthy eating, spiritual comfort

and positive, supportive relation-ships.

For more information about PF3 or the Creative Change film series, contact Tammy Greenwell at [email protected] or 828-233-2288.

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 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.
