The Polk County Fit, Fresh and Friendly (PF3) asked commissioners to help fund the program, which would be based in Asheville and be a 24-7 information call center.

County commissioners met Monday, March 4 and heard from PF3’s Linda Greensfelder, as well as 2-1-1 director Ra-chael Nygaard and Jimmy Hines, with the Rutherford-Polk-McDowell Health District regarding the program.

Nygaard said there are people across the community who need help, whether it’s

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 didn’t 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 it’s 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 doesn’t cost anything,” Pack said. “If you know that you aren’t 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 physician’s 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 city’s own residents when Edgens proposed the idea in July.

“It’s 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 I’ve 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 he’s done, the cost of an automated call system would be about $7,500.

“If people really like it and it gets going, we’ll 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 Sheriff’s Office at 828-894-3001.

Polk sheriff’s office investigating check cashing schemeThe Polk County Sheriff’s

Office is asking for the public’s help in identifying three indi-viduals in regards to a fraudu-lent check cashing scheme.

A breaking and entering and larceny took place just outside of Columbus and involved the taking of blank checks from a local business. The suspects

went into All Bright Sanitation some time during the past week and took about 50 blank checks and printed them and began going to banks in Columbus, Hendersonville and Asheville.

These fraudulent checks were passed to bank tellers along with what appears to be a government issued fraudulent

identification card in an effort to obtain money. Through the passages of these checks the unidentified suspects were able to obtain more than $20,000 in cash before a bank teller found it to be suspicious and alerted supervisors who placed a hold on the account notifying the customer and law enforcement.

The sheriff’s office wants to encourage banks and retailers to be aware and observant of sus-picious transactions through the use of credit cards and checks. Anyone who has any informa-tion or can identify either of the suspects is asked to call the Polk County Sheriff’s Office at 828-894-3001.

Spring Ag Center’s Barn Quilt Poster Contest last month.

The contest serves to teach fourth-grade students about art, agriculture and heritage through barn quilts. Traditionally, barn quilts are quilt square patterns painted onto boards and then mounted onto the side of a barn or building. The Mill Spring Ag Center is collaborating with the City of Landrum to extend the Foothills Quilt Trail into Polk County. One winning quilt square from each school will be voted on. The winning squares will be combined to create one large barn quilt to be used as the

ag center’s quilt square that will be made and mounted onto the building this summer.

You can help the Mill Spring Ag Center choose the winning quilt squares.

The artwork is currently hang-ing on the first floor hall of the ag center. Stop by anytime Monday-Friday 9 a.m.-4:30 p.m. or Saturday from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. to vote on your favorite square from each school. The squares will be on display until March 22. The Mill Spring Ag Cen-ter is located at 156 School Road in Mill Spring.

help taking care of their mother or help finding a job and 2-1-1 of-fers a place to start. The program works like 9-1-1 but directs people to services.

The program is asking Polk County for approximately $12,000 worth of funding for an initial three years of service, but repre-sentatives said that amount could lessen dramatically depending on participation from other agencies.

“2-1-1 data can be critical,” said Nygaard. “We talk to people from all walks of life and are able to see the gaps (in services).”

Nygaard said there are 16 mil-lion calls in a year across the coun-try to 2-1-1 services and 86,000 calls across North Carolina. There were 37,000 calls handled by the Asheville center in a year. For similarly-sized areas to Polk, such as Madison County, there were 1,000 calls to 2-1-1.

More than 90 percent of Ameri-cans have access to 2-1-1 while 87 percent of North Carolinians are now serviced by 2-1-1, Nygaard said.

The program is through the United Way of Asheville with the department of social services being the conduit for funding.

Hines said it’s hard to put a dollar figure on what the service is worth. If someone needed to call the Collins Dental Center, which would they remember, he asked, 2-1-1 or 828-894-3120.

“Can you put a dollar figure on that?” Hines asked. “2-1-1 is an investment for our district.”

Hines said he’s endorsing the program because he knows it works.

“Folks, the reason I’m here to-night is public health,” said Hines. “That’s the investment you make as leaders. We believe we want to give this system a try because it helps our citizens.”

Commissioner chair Michael Gage asked when people call are they directly connected to the service or do they give them a number to call.

Nygaard said it depends; the service operator may give a num-ber but does have the availability to transfer the caller and send them directly through. She said some residents may be calling for infor-mation, such as asking for library hours of operation.

The funding would pay for 24-7 availability and also for interpret-ers in case a caller is non-English speaking as well as the manage-ment of the database.

Commissioner Ted Owens suggested the county take it under consideration and asked that repre-sentatives get back to commission-ers to update the board what other funding it has received.

If funded, the program would be out of the county’s next fiscal year budget, which begins July 1. Nygaard said organizers would like to launch the program on July 1 this year.

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 tongue’s 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. Madagascar’s 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 lemur’s 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. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s 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.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

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 Institution’s 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.

Growing up, i knew t h a t l i n t c o l l e c t e d around the dryer and the navel, and that nei-ther was particularly appealing. eventually, i learned there was an-other kind of Lent, and it wasn’t particularly appealing, either. forty days of self-imposed penance seemed bewil-dering.

i know that Jesus was tempted in the wild for 40 days, but in case no one has noticed, we bear little resemblance to Je-sus. Sure, he was able to survive, but do we have the wherewithal? is it necessary or wise to struggle with such a

sullen task? isn’t life tough enough as it is? must we consciously make our lives even more difficult?

to m L o n g , w h o teaches preaching at emory, shares an ex-change between a semi-nary professor and a former student. the former student, who is now pastoring his first congregation, pays a visit to the trusted pro-fessor. he’s served this congregation for less than a year and he’s on the edge of trouble. Some in the congre-gation want a “praise

band” and others do not. the former student solicits the wise counsel of his professor.

“What should i do? i’m really at a cross-roads,” he says. “i know i can trust you, and that’s why i want your honest opinion, do you think it’s okay for us to have a praise band?”

“Sure,” said the pro-fessor. “it’s fine for you to have a praise band.” and then the professor paused, leaning in to finish his sentence, “as long as you also have a lament band.”

there is a temptation to avoid the sorrow and

pain of life — and that is certainly understand-able. Life, however, comes our way, and with the beauty and joy, there is also sorrow and pain. it’s part of the hu-man condition. to deny that reality is dishonest.

fortunately, many of the 150 Psalms offer faithful examples of lament. these lament Psalms (Jesus offered one of them, Psalm 22, from the cross) remind us that we are not ex-empt from pain and suf-fering. and we should be honest — to God and each other — about that.

instead of heaping arbitrary burdens our

The lamentable season of lent • Lent(continued from page 8)

(continued on page 9)

way, the lamentable season of Lent gra-ciously invites us to be honest — honest about ourselves, and honest with ourselves, hon-est about the suffering and broken world in which we live. Speak-ing honestly about our frailty and faithlessness is actually liberating. in a world that expects us to be happy at all costs, Lent invites us to hon-est, faithful lament.

So at least for a sea-son, let’s tune up the “ lament band” and share in the sufferings of this world.

The Upstairs Artspace an-nounces the opening of three exhibits on Friday, March 8, with a reception on Saturday, March 9, from 5 - 8 p.m.

In the main gallery, Asheville artists Moni Hill, Alicia Arm-strong and Spencer Herr explore art’s role in the wake of tragedy in “Here, After.” The exhibit was conceived in the wake of the tragic December killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.

“These artists are all parents of young children, so they shared the gut reaction that millions of Americans felt when they heard about what happened in Newtown -- from the fear to the sense that any of us could be faced with such sudden and heartbreaking loss,” said Margaret Curtis, chair of the Upstairs exhibits committee. “The artists have responded in such different and thoughtful ways.

Spencer Herr explores the myth of redemptive violence. Moni Hill contemplates the many twists and turns along life’s meandering path and the shape of absence or loss. Alicia Armstrong challenges western notions of dualism in works that acknowledge the coex-istence of good and evil, and the possibility of renewal and rebirth after tragedy.”

In “Southern Comfort,” which will be featured in the Upstairs’ small-works gallery, photographer Ben Nixon documents the South-ern landscape in a haunting series of photographs. In the downstairs gallery, potters Jim Cullen, Jim Cornell, Gary Huntoon, David Zacharias, Doug Dacey, John Turner and Claude Graves update an age-old medium in an exhibit of ceramic work –”Older Than Dirt.”

A “walk and talk” tour will be offered, free of charge, at 4 p.m. on March 9, before the opening

reception. For more information, call 859-2828, go to www.upstair-sartspace.org, or visit the gallery at 49 S. Trade St., Tryon. Normal

business hours, which resume on March 8, are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Students at Saluda Elementary have given up on Ol’ Man Winter. First, second and fourth graders recently found ways to create their own snow.

Students in Mrs. McDonald’s second grade class wrote winter stories and created their own snow globes with pictures of themselves inside the globes.

Mrs. Rackley’s fourth-graders helped Ms. Carpenter’s first-graders complete a winter math activity with some snow (marshmallows). The two classes then went outdoors for a snowball fight (with marshmallows) and enjoyed eating some snow (more marshmallows). (article and photos submitted)

Saluda students wonder where’s the snow?

Top: First and fourth-grade girls enjoy a “snowball” fight with marshmallows. Middle, left: Eating “snow” or marshmallows were, from left to right, first graders Alisha Richardson, Anna Jackson, Maggie McCammon, Zaelea Eller and Adelaide Gardner. Middle, right: Taylor Cowlishaw proudly displays her snow globe and winter story. Bottom: At the table for a math snow activity are fourth-graders Christian Netschytailo and Drake Waggoner, as well as first-graders Regan Moss, Adelaide Gardner and Shelby Lookadook.(photos submitted)

Foothills Humane Society (FHS) conducts an annual fundraiser titled “Make Believe Ball.” This unique “ball” is an opportunity for donors to participate without attending an actual function. They simply respond to the invitation with a donation, and they never need to leave the comforts of home. The recent fundraiser was a big success with many more “non-attendees” than ever in the past. Part of the fun of the event is that one lucky winner’s name is drawn, and a wonderful prize is given. This year the winner received a beautiful painting by well-known local artist, Joan MacIntyre. Shown is artist Joan MacIntyre, center, with this year’s prize winners Sally and Hugh Hursey. (photo submitted)

In Mutts Gone Nuts two hu-mans plus six canines equals havoc and hilarity as veteran entertainers Jessie and James attempt to match wits with their hilarious pack of pooches – all at the Tryon Fine Arts Center on Super Saturday, March 16 at the 35th annual Children’s Theater Festival.

Since 1985, comedy duo Jes-sie and James have brought their unique blend of physical comedy and circus arts to audiences from Las Vegas to Tokyo, Branson to Myrtle Beach. And in 2005 they turned their attention to creating a comedy dog act.

Their six amazing canine part-ners are all adopted from shel-ters and rescues. Spreading the message of animal rescue, this top-notch family friendly show includes stunt dogs, dancing dogs, trick dogs, a world class Frisbee dog and even talking dogs.

Mutts Gone Nuts will take to

the TFAC stage Saturday, March 16 at 9:30 a.m. and 1:15 p.m., and of course will take part in the

Super Saturday going to the dogs March 16 at TFAC

In an effort to raise money for the prom, the junior class is holding a bingo night on Friday, March 15 at 4 p.m. in the PCHS cafeteria.

The night will include raffles of six different baskets. Prizes include a $25 gift certificate to The Village Book Shoppe, $10 gift card to Starbucks, $20 gift certificate to Vines & Stuff, lotion set from Bath & Body Works, $25 gift certificate to Mr. Juan’s, $20 gift certificate to Kyoto’s, $25 gift certificate to Head Too Toe Boutique, and a one month summer membership to Dance Dynamics. Raffle tickets may be purchased in advance at PCHS and A Better Deal or at the bingo night.

The dance off encourages par-ticipants to dance the night away. “Dance Doctor” Doug Campbell will teach swing dance prior to the contest. The winners of each bingo game and those who purchase all night bingo passes will be allowed to vote on the best dancing pair. The winning couple keeps half of the money collected from the dance off entry fees.

Our very own entertaining Richard Hall will call bingo for a variety of prizes. The cost is 50 cents per board/game or you can choose the all night pass for only $10.00, which will give you one board for every game and a ballot for the dance off. A family

package is also available which includes four all night passes, ten raffle tickets and four ballots for the dance off for $40.

Concessions will be available

and will include cupcakes, cin-namon rolls, popcorn and drinks. All proceeds will go towards the 2013 PCHS prom.

LaPlaca tells Columbus Lions how to delay agingDan LaPlaca, owner and

co-founder of PRO Physical Therapy in Columbus, recently presented a program to the Columbus Lions Club in which he told members how they can make the most of their third act in life – putting off 70 percent of aging until the end of life.

There are three basic steps. First, exercise six days a

week; second, quit eating food that is bad for you; and third, care, commit and connect to others. The Lions feel they have the third step covered, but the other two – maybe not so much.

LaPlaca emphasized that al-though these steps are not easy, they are well worth the effort if we can stay healthy, strong and active until the third act curtain closes.

The Columbus Lions meet on the first and third Thursday evenings at Calvert’s Restau-rant in Columbus, and they encourage anyone interested in community service to visit with them.

For information, call Helen Trevathan at 894-7062.

FENCE gardening seminars will start on Monday, March 11 at 10 a.m.

The program topic this month will be “Top 10 Mistakes to Avoid in the Landscape” and will be presented by landscape consultant and certified landscape manager, Rhonda Anderson.

The discussion will begin with an explanation of accepted land-scape design “rules,” and progress

to a complete and proper timeline for planting carefree plants during the average spring, and the spring of 2013 in particular. Attendees are welcome to bring photos of problem areas in their landscapes and Rhonda will gladly address the area and offer creative solutions.

Anderson will share her years of “practical hands on” experience for improving and correcting landscape designs. There will be a question and

answer session and refreshments will be served. This program will be held rain or shine and is offered with the support of the Kirby Endowment Fund administered through the Polk County Community Foundation.

For further information or di-rections to FENCE House, please call 828-859-9021 or visit www.FENCE.org on the web.
