Tryon considers saddle for Morris advertisingby Leah Justice

Tryon officials are currently considering creating a saddle for Morris the Horse so that advertis-ing signs placed on the statue do not harm it.

Morris was recently rebuilt after a fundraising effort and the Morris committee asked town council during its November meeting not to allow advertis-ing on the new statue for fear of damage.

Committee members sug-gested that advertising be done with an easel near Morris instead.

Tryon Town Manager Caitlin Martin said the planning board has heard ideas including placing a saw horse near Morris when signs are up, requiring advertisers to create their own stand-alone

Last Thursday, over 55 people and three chickens attended the Heritage Poultry Workshop at the Mill Spring Ag Center.

The workshop was a great success, said Laura Brookshire, agricultural outreach coordinator for the Mill Spring Ag Center. Most workshop attendees were from Polk County, but we even had 12 people travel in from surrounding and nearby counties, some from as far away as Watauga County and Davie County.

In recent years, chickens have become very popular, as people start their own backyard chicken flocks for egg and meat consumption. Pete Schuhmann, owner of Aquafields Farm in Green Creek, attended the workshop and hopes to start his own flock of chickens in the spring for his familys egg production.

We go through a lot of eggs each week, said Schuhman, and

sign or creating a Morris-sized blanket for all organizations to attach their signs to with a material such as Velcro.

The Morris blanket or saddle seems to be the most popular idea, which would only be worn while advertising a local event.

We have not come to any for-mal conclusion but this seems to be the most favored alternative, Martin said. My main concern is

I want to keep people from nail-ing/stapling signs to him like has been done in the past.

Morris was found during the restoration to be seriously dam-aged from water mainly because some advertisements over the years had been nailed to the statue, which caused holes in the wooden structure and internal water dam-age. Wasps had also set up nests inside.

Martin said despite belief part of the statue is still wooden.

During Tryons planning and

zoning board meeting held Thurs-day, Jan. 10, Martin told members she is currently taking adver-tisements on Morris case-by-case. Currently, the Thermal Belt Friendship Council is advertising this Fridays Martin Luther King Jr. celebration on the statue and Martin said she allowed the sign as long as the organization placed something soft under it.

Martin told the planning board she is trying to get an estimate on what a saddle design will cost and how large the saddle needs to be.

Tryon Fire Chief and code enforcer Joey Davis suggested the town measure the Tryon Riding and Hunt Clubs Steeplechase sign to get an idea of size. The Tryon Riding and Hunt Club donated Morris to the town and advertises equestrian events such as the an-nual Steeplechase in April.

Council members also dis-cussed in November the pos-sibility of charging or asking for donations from advertisers in order to do routine maintenance on the new statue.

Morris(Continued from page 1)

board of commissioner meeting where the county began the 10-day upset bid process.

Pittman said no upset bids were received and told com-missioners he has spoken with attorney Phillip Feagan who is starting the closing process.

The county accepted the bid after working with the Town of Tryon in an attempt to donate the building to the town since it is located within Tryons town limits and zoning district.

Tryon asked the county to have a phase I study done on the property, which concluded that there was lead paint and asbestos located in the building. Tryon

then asked the county to do a phase II study, but the county instead asked the town if the county could remove the tanks in question instead of conduct a phase II study.

Tryon had planned to work with Daystar Enterprises to give it the building in exchange for the purchase of a new maintenance shed for the town to have at its wastewater treatment plant in order to tear down the one that sits just behind downtown.

Tryon officials said the ex-change became too complicated and declined the offer of the Jervey-Palmer building follow-ing its November 2012 meeting.

Polk County vacated the Jer-vey-Palmer building a little over a year ago when its department of social services (DSS) moved into a new human service build-ing the county constructed in Mill

Spring. The countys goal for years was to vacate the building, which housed DSS, veterans ser-vice, the senior center and mental health services, due to its age and expense to maintain.

The building was originally constructed in 1929 as the first St. Lukes Hospital. A new hospital was constructed in Columbus and opened in 1973 when the hospital gave the county the Jervey-Palmer building after the county approved a bond to pay for the new hospital.

It has not been made public what plans Daystar Enterprises has for the 17,777 square foot Jervey-Palmer building that is located on 4.92 acres of land along Carolina Drive.

Daystar Enterprises also pur-chased the former Grover Plant in Lynn last year with plans to create retail spaces there.

we hope having our own flock of egg layers will help us become more sustainable.

Jim Adkins of the Sustainable Poultry Network presented the workshop. Adkins is a certified poultry judge with the American Poultry Association, and he covered the basics of breeding heritage chickens. He also showed attendees how to determine which chickens are the most productive egg layers in their backyard flocks. This included inspecting and handling three chickens that David Burrell of Feather Footed Farm in Green Creek brought for demonstration purposes.

For many at tendees, the workshop gave them the chance to hold a chicken for the first time.

For people interested in raising chickens, two more educational opportunities are up-coming. On Jan. 19, Restoration Farm in Green Creek will host a Poultry 101 class from 1 4 p.m. that will cover the basics of housing, feeding and caring for

chickens. Contact Dawn Jordan at 704-692-4358 or [email protected] to register.

On March 9, as part of the first Polk Folk Farmers Day, the Mill Spring Ag Center will be hosting a Heritage Poultry Swap and Sale.

Poultry swaps have become a popular way for people to learn about different breeds of chickens and add new breeds to their flocks. The poultry swap will be a great place to buy chicks or fully-grown chickens.

If youre interested in bringing birds to the poultry swap, contact Stephen Bishop or Laura Brookshire at 828-894-2281 or [email protected].

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.... 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 c
