presentation of the colors and singing of the national anthem by Karen Lawrence. Alexanders Ford Project Manager Ambrose Mills will then give an introduc-tion, which will be followed by speeches by Paul Carson with the National Park Service, Polk County Board of Commission-ers Chair Ray Gasperson and Elizabeth Nager, president/CEO of the Marjorie M. and Lawrence R. Bradley Endowment Fund at the Polk County Community Foundation (PCCF).

The ceremony will end with an official ribbon cutting and a firing salute by the Overmountain Victory men.

Enhancements to the property include a picnic shelter, an im-proved road from the entrance, parking adjacent to the shelter, an ADA (Americans with Dis-abilities Act) trail (accessible only to wheelchair, pedestrian and bicycle traffic), trailside pic-nic tables and an improved trail to the ford on the Green River. The nature preserve will be open to the public seven days a week from dawn to dusk.The purchase

The process that led to the opening of the nature preserve began in 2005 when Tryon Arts and Crafts (TAC) purchased the property to save it from going to

a developer. At that time, TAC made plans to use the site for a cultural and historical center.

After later dropping plans for the center, TAC decided to sell the land and sought a buyer that would preserve the property. Polk County commissioners agreed to buy the land but were not sure how fast they could raise the funds and did not want to use any taxpayer money for the purchase.

In 2006 the board for the Marjorie M. & Lawrence R. Bradley Endowment Fund (held by the PCCF) stepped forward and agreed to purchase the land to make sure it would be perma-nently preserved. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Bradleys home was used to pur-chase the Alexanders Ford prop-erty. Bradley Fund board mem-bers at the time said the Bradleys would have been pleased to see the collaborative project that benefits the community through the purchase and preservation of a historic tract of land. The Bradley Fund not only purchased the land but also established permanent easements and agreed to turn over ownership to the county when it raised enough money.Grant funding

Polk County commissioners appointed Mills as the proj-ect manager and grants were obtained for the purchase and

for improvements to the rustic tract. In addition to the donat-ed land value ($377,500), grant funding was received from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund ($274,000), the N.C. Heri-tage Trust ($200,000), the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund ($500,000), the Polk County Com-munity Foundation ($18,000), the Bradley Fund ($80,000) and a U.S. National Park Service Grant ($20,299).

AlexandersFord(Continued from page 4)

Mills announced to commis-sioners in August 2012 that the enhancements were complete and the project came in under budget.

Polk Countys vision for the property has always been to cre-ate a nature preserve that will be low maintenance and low cost to the county.

I think weve protected a priceless treasure for generations to come, Mills told commission-ers in August.Overmountain Victory Trail history

The Alexanders Ford property,

located off County Line Road near Grays Chapel Methodist Church, includes the historic trail and campsite used by the Overmoun-tain Men en route to a key victory in the Revolutionary War. The U.S. National Park Service has identi-fied the Alexanders Ford property as a potential national park site.

The property includes the site of the Overmountain Men patriot militia encampment and one mile of the Overmountain Men Vic-tory Trail that ended at the Battle of Kings Mountain in 1780. The trail runs from Abingdon, Va., and

Elkin, N.C. to Kings Mountain and draws many visitors each year.

The Polk County land includes a key section of the trail. The Overmountain Men camped at Alexanders Ford on the night of Oct. 4, 1780. The next morning, a messenger rode into camp to tell the Patriots that the Loyalists had changed direction and were headed to Charlotte, N.C. The militia turned, met the British at Kings Mountain, and won a battle there that Thomas Jefferson declared turned the tide in the American Revolutionary War.

Salaries for the new CYP posi-tions will vary by job function, but the average annual salary for the new jobs will be $28,739, plus benefits. The Polk County average annual wage is $28,496.

Fendrich purchased Carolina Yarn Processors in 1986 and Tryon has been a great place for doing

business, said David Moore, president of Fendrich Industries. Our company has many dedicated long-term employees at CYP and we look forward to increasing em-ployment in Polk County.

The project was made possible in part by an $115,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund. The One NC Fund provides financial assistance, through local govern-ments, to attract business projects

that will stimulate economic activ-ity and create new jobs in the state. Companies receive no money up front and must meet job creation and investment performance stan-dards to qualify for grant funds. These grants also require and are contingent upon local matches.

This grant was a key factor in our decision to expand in North Carolina, Moore said.

Through use of the One NC

Fund, more than 60,000 jobs and $11 billion in investment have been created since 2001. Other part-ners that helped with this project include: the N.C. Department of Commerce, N.C. Community Col-leges, Polk County, Town of Tryon and the Polk County Economic and Tourism Development Board.

BBBS moves annual bowling fundraiser to November

Teams of four-five bowl-ers are formed to participate on Nov. 10. Clubs, churches, businesses and school groups are encouraged to participate. Event details and team reg-istration forms will soon be available online or by calling 828-859-9230.

Sponsorship information is currently available. Call 828-859-9230 for details.

Pack said the individual can choose the time to be called each day. She said one gentle-man has his call come in at 5:30 p.m. because he works with farm equipment and fears that a large piece of equipment might fall on him during the day. Others want early morn-ing calls to make sure they didnt fall when getting out of bed.

Pack added that many of the participants let the department know where a hidden key is so a deputy can enter the home if the individual is believed to be in danger.

Pack said the program has been incredibly beneficial to people in the community. She said if nothing else it provides a bit of peace of mind.

Sometimes I think we are the only people some of these individuals are talking to on a regular basis, she said. I

have one lady whose machine never works, but sometimes I think its just because she wants someone to talk to.

There is no restriction based on age, Pack said, adding that anyone who has a medical condition or is home alone on a regular basis could receive the call.

What do you have to lose to be on it? It doesnt cost anything, Pack said. If you know that you arent going to be there we just ask that the person calls in and lets us know.

Participants are also able to give the department a laundry list of important information to keep on file, such as emer-gency contacts, key holders, if there is a DNR in place, a physicians name, if the indi-vidual walks with a cane or a

walker and if they have pets in the house.

Landrum council members seemed keenly interested in of-fering the service to the citys own residents when Edgens proposed the idea in July.

Its been a good program over there [in Polk County] a n d f r o m w h a t I v e heard it has done a lot for their elderly r e s i d e n t s , said Landrum City Council-

man Johnny Carruth. Polk County has offered to

allow Landrum to run a pilot version of the program through its system for up to about 50 people, Pack said.

Edgens said he conserva-tively thinks 30-35 people might be interested in partici-pating in the program initially. If the actual number grew far

[RUOK has] been a good program over there [in Polk County] and from what Ive heard it has done a lot for their elderly residents.

-- Johnny Carruth

beyond these expectations, he said the city might have to look into purchasing its own system.

Edgens said based on re-search hes done, the cost of an automated call system would be about $7,500.

If people really like it and it gets going, well have to keep it going, Edgens said.

Mayor Robert Briggs and other council enthusiastically gave their approval for Edgens to move forward with a pilot version of the program.

Another thing it does is it builds a relationship between the police department and the citizens, said Briggs.

Landrum residents inter-ested in participating in a pilot version of the program can call the Landrum Police Department at 864-457-7281. Anyone who wants to be added to the program in Polk County can call Pack at the Polk County Sheriffs Office at 828-894-3001.

It isnt every day you have the chance to vote for a respected young man of his caliber.

Do not forget to vote, and vote for Michael Gage for Polk County commissioner when you go to the polls.

TLT announces cast for The 1940s Radio Hour

From Nov. 8-18, the Tryon Little Theater (TLT) Workshop will have a new name and new address. It will transform into the studios of WOV Radio, 730 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. For that matter, the date and year will be different as well. Its Dec. 21, 1942 (no matter what day you attend), and you will be treated to a behind-the-scenes look at that popular weekly variety show, The Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade.

The director of the TLT pro-duction of The 1940s Radio Hour, Donna Orzano, has an-nounced the cast for this nostalgic musical loaded with familiar songs and fun.

Clifton A. Feddington (Ed Harrelson) is the founder and pro-ducer of The Mutual Manhattan Variety Cavalcade. Singer and former boxer Johnny Cantone (Steve Porter) has sung The Star Spangled Banner at hundreds of sports events (including his own unsuccessful attempt at the welter-weight championship). Discovered as the only singing waitress and stacker at Romeos Spaghetti House, Ginger Brooks (Petra Harrelson) became an overnight success. Fellow singer Geneva Lee Browne (Susie Ko-cher) has a voice that can shatter windows and a body to match.

Ann Collier (Carol Cox) has been with the Cavalcade for six years following successful tours with Claude Thornhill and the King Biscuit Entertainers. The WOV Radio orchestra is led with a deft hand by veteran band leader Zoe Doubleman (Pam McNeil). The youngest of the singing Gibson brothers, B.J

Gibson (Mason Manna) is fol-lowing the Gibson tradition of singin, dancin and smilin his way into the hearts of radio lis-teners everywhere. Neal Tildens (Paul Adams) career is legendary, working with some the greats and near greats in musical history.

Hailing from Ogden, Utah, Connie Miller (Kate Riedy) has studied tap, ballet and ballroom dance and hopes to become a Rockette. Why shes at a radio station is unclear. Wally Fergu-son (Jamie Riedy) came all the way from Altoona, Pennsylvania hoping for his big break in show business.

Tomorrow, Biff Baker (Josh Moffitt) who plays trumpet or saxophone in the band and car-ries his horn in a brown, wrinkled bag, goes overseas as a member of a fighter squadron. Pops Bailey (John Calure) is the stage doorman. He moves slowly and stands still a lot. Stella (Tena Greene-Porter) more or less lives in the control booth with her cables and coffee, as techies do. Rounding out the cast is the companys stage manager, Lou Cohn (Gordon Pendarvis), who is perfectly content with a job that has plenty of authority but no responsibilities.

The 1940s Radio Hour takes the stage at the TLT Workshop Nov. 8-11 and 15-18. Perfor-mances are at 8 p.m. on Thurs-day-Saturdays and at 3 p.m. on Sundays. The box office at the Workshop, located at 516 S. Trade Street in Tryon, opens Thursday, Oct. 25. Call 828-859-2466.

Community comes together to help Emorie WhitmanOn Sept. 8, a motorcycle

Poker Run fundraiser was held for Emorie Whitman, who is fighting childhood bone cancer. Many people came out to ride in the Poker Run, eat and enjoy live music.

Julie Foster Collins, Emo-ries mother, said the fundraiser was the result of a lot of hard work by a large group of vol-unteers.

Gary Walker, Bobby Waters and Tommy Stott had the idea of organizing the fundraiser

as a Poker Run, and they also donated the food and the money for the Poker Run prize. Bands then volunteered to participate, including Speedwell, Special Edition, Red Dog and Friends and Project X.

Mary Prioleau at Tryon House created and sold the popular Go Emme Go T-shirts, and Joey Davis and Kim Pack sold the T-shirts at the Tryon Fire Department.

Julie Miller collected dona-tions from local businesses for

sale at the event and helped in many other ways as well. Many businesses made donations for the event. Jeff Miller also helped pick up and handle the donated items.

Local fire departments in Tryon, Landrum, Green Creek, Mill Spring and Columbus provided stops for the Poker Run. Harry Denton and Tommy Burrell cooked food for the event.

Pam Stone sold signed cop-ies of her book, I Love Me a

Turkey Butt Samwich, and donated half of the proceeds to Emorie. In addition, Khalid Abuadas sold ice cream from One Scoop at a Time and Yancy Pace sold popcorn.

Collins said Danny Jones, a special friend of the family, also did a lot of behind-the-scenes work for the event.

What a wonderful giving community we live in, Col-lins said.

Our futures best hope

To the Editor:The Romney/Ryan Republi-

can candidacy should be so thor-oughly repudiated in the Novem-

Letter to the editor ber election that the Republican Party would be forced to wrest control away from the far right. I hope to see the GOP reestablish itself as a viable, valuable second party rather than an obstruction in our national life.

If we follow the Romney/Ryan plan to cut safety nets from

the middle class and the poor in order to further subsidize the wealthy, America will collapse, far beyond the severe recession from which we are slowly but steadily recovering under Presi-dent Obamas leadership.

Conservatives a misno-mer are conserving nothing;

they are destroying. For now, our best hope as individuals and a nation is Barack Obama. But he needs a Democratic House and Senate dedicated to egalitarian principles. It is up to the Ameri-can voters.

Truth. It is often hard to define what is true and what is false because what is be-lieved by one person to be the truth is considered to be false from someone elses perspective.

One of the most famous ex-amples may be Pontius Pilate, the governor of Judea, when he had Jesus before him and was questioning the claims being made against Jesus by the priests and the scribes of the temple. In response, Jesus told him, For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice. Pilate asked him, What is truth? (John 18:37b-38a) In the end Pilate capitulated to the priests and scribes and sent Jesus to be tortured and crucified in order to preserve

Pilates political and personal power even though he openly admitted, I find no case against him. (John 19:4)

Telling the truth can be a dangerous thing, especially when the institution, the cul-ture or the one to whom we tell the truth is deeply embedded in a habit, process or self-serving situation that might be placed at risk should the truth be laid bare for all to see.

In Jesus case, the truth he brought to Jerusalem Gods truth was that the religious authorities who ran the temple the Pharisees and the Sad-ducees had so egregiously violated Gods will and intentions that their abuses had to be exposed. Jesus told the truth the truth that the self-serving practices of the priests and scribes that kept

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.
