With the new State Employee Credit Union being constructed in Columbus, council members began the discussion of whether or not the town should require

businesses to have keyboxes so emergency services can access the buildings.

Columbus Town Counci l met Jan. 17 and heard from fire chief Bobby Arledge about the

possibility.The keyboxes would only

be used in times of alarm calls, including for fire or burglary and would allow emergency

personnel to enter the building. Currently in cases of alarms emergency personnel has to locate an emergency contact person to come and unlock a building. A key box would prevent emergency personnel

from having to break into doors and windows to access the building during times of alarms.

Council discussed whether or not to require it for only new businesses or for current businesses and which ordinance would include the requirement.

Town manager Jona than Kanipe said there are currently

146 businesses in town, so requiring key boxes for current businesses would be a pretty h igh number. He sa id the town should look at costs and prepare a presentation to give to businesses. He also said he wants to look at what other towns have done in terms of the requirement.

C o u n c i l m a n R i c k y McCal l i s te r sa id he would like for Kanipe to work with businesses and get their feedback to see if they are interested.

I think we should talk to businesses that are here now, McCallister said. Im sure if I had a business I would want someone to protect me if I wasnt there.

Kanipe said another thing council may want to consider is requiring the boxes when a business has a new occupancy since a change in business is likely to happen more often than

On Jan. 5 the Tryon Police Department responded to a break-ing and entering and larceny from coin-operated vending machines at the Tryon IGA.

The suspect took several hun-dred dollars and equipment from the vending machines. The IGA was able to download surveil-lance video that showed the sus-pect breaking into the machines, according to the Tryon Police Depatment. The police depart-ment distributed pictures obtained from the video to surrounding

agencies. On Jan. 14, Landrum Police

Department officers notified Tryon officers of a vehicle sit-ting on the side of the road in their jurisdiction that matched the description of the vehicle in question.

Tryon officers met with the Landrum officers and identified the vehicle as being the one used during the commission of the crime. The vehicle was towed by the Landrum Police Depart-ment due to it being a traffic

Man arrested for stealing from vending machineshazard. The owner was identified through DMV and the description matched suspect Christopher Lee Bowen, 37, of Landrum. Warrants for felony larceny from a vend-ing machine and misdemeanor burglary were issued.

Landrum police officers ar-rested the suspect and he was extradited to North Carolina. Bowen was taken to the Polk County Jail and placed under a $5,000 secured bond.

new buildings being constructed.Key boxes are used throughout

the state and are often required by building/zoning inspection offices to ensure and improve accessibil i ty to commercial buildings in the event of an emergency, Kanipe said.

The typical key box is a secure, tamper-proof device with a lock operable only by a fire department master key and containing building entry keys that may be required for access in an emergency.

Before utilization, Kanipe s a i d , a s t r i c t p o l i c y f o r maintaining and securing the master key would be in place and policies would be developed to ensure that no tampering would occur with the keys.

Council directed staff to look into the idea more and plans to discuss it further during its February meeting.

Obituaries

Guntram Gersch Guntram H. Gersch of Tryon

and Evian-les-Bains, France, died Jan. 13, 2013 in the Hopitaux de Leman at Thonon-les-Bains.

Mr. Gersch was born May 6, 1935 at Glatz, Silesia, then in Germany and now in Poland. His given name was after the title character of the opera Guntram by composer Richard Strauss, whose son he met in later life.

During the war his family, who owned food and hotel businesses, took refuge at their mountain inn by the Czech border.

In 1946 they were expelled by Soviet forces, with one suitcase per person at short notice, to West Germany where as refugees they were sheltered in a farmers barn. Guntram studied professional cooking and hotel work at Frankfurt-am-Main from 1951 through 1954, then worked his first job abroad in Honduras at a private club in Tegucigalpa in 1955. There he prepared a banquet for visiting guest Mrs. Richard Nixon.

The next year he immigrated to Florida, worked at Toy Town resort in Winchendon, Mass. and settled in Chicago earning his living in the hospitality industry. In the early 1960s he also began seriously making and collecting fine art, studying at the Art Institute of Chicago. His first one-man show was at Counterpoint Gallery in 1967.

His early oeuvre, grotesque self-portraiture derived from childhood memories of war, was soon replaced by pure abstraction, the style for which Gersch became known as a professional artist. His first foreign exhibition was in Beirut, Lebanon at American University in 1973. The next year his artwork was featured by Bonouche Gallery in Bahrain. He went on to exhibit at Gallery Kroner in Zurich, Switzerland and in Germany, Belgium, England and Los Angeles.

In 1992 Lloyd Shin Gallery in Chicago began representing

Gerschs art , publishing an illustrated essay by famed critic Robert C. Morgan extolling his Modernist mixed-media works on paper.

Gersch t rave led wide ly, backpacking in the Middle East, Cyprus, Turkey and Greece. During the 1980s he relocated to the Door Peninsula, Wisc., a magnet for artists. Summers in Europe he resided at Evian-les-Bains on Lake Geneva. In 1998, together with longtime partner Stanley Lee Brightwell, who died in 2010, Gersch acquired the Modernist house and studio Serendipity in Tryon, formerly owned by painter Robert Jordan, for their winter home.

The Upstairs Artspace exhibited his first Tryon show in 2004 and a major retrospective Guntram Gersch: Forty Years in spring 2007. That autumn Red Clover Gallery in Landrum, S.C. mounted a show of his mixed-media titled Symphony in Form as well as his last one-man show Nine Dips, Two Trips and a Quad of new work in 2008.

His art was also shown in Spartanburg and at Tryon Fine Arts Center. He hosted the docents of Asheville Art Museum to a tour of his studio, where he also welcomed collectors.

Gersch had keen interests in classical music, fine cuisine, and perpetuating the Germanic cultural history of Silesia. He is survived by a sister and other relatives in Germany.

No local services are planned.

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

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....
