live long and be healthy, Wil-liamson said. You dont see people deteriorate as fast if they stay active.

Will iamson proved just how active he can be during the Greater Greenville Senior

Sports Classic Thursday, April 18 by winning six events javelin, shot put, discus throw, softball throw, 400-meter walk and standing broad jump.


Tryon accepts easement for St. Lukes Plaza propertyby Leah Justice

The Town of Tryon has ac-cepted an easement to the St. Lukes Plaza property to maintain as a public gathering place, includ-ing items such as benches, water features and signs.

Tryon Town Council met April 16 and approved the easement contingent on not having to main-tain any parking spaces in the plaza.

Interim town manager Joey Davis said the easement is for the

town to receive the plaza portion of the St. Lukes property. The property is approximately 20 feet deep and runs along the front of the plaza property.


Work continues on St. Lukes Plaza with hopes of the building being ready by June 1. (photo by Samantha Hurst)

Williamson is undefeated after three years participating in the games.

I like to win and plus Ive got to stay ahead of my grandson who plays football at Daniel High, he said joking.

The Greater Greenville Se-nior Sports Classic marked its 21st year with more than 200 participants. Event organizers said the premise behind the com-petition is to promote regular exercise in the lives of seniors.

Hes a pleasure to know I cant believe how much stamina he has, which makes everyone in awe of him, program coor-dinator Joni Dilworth said of Williamson. Look at him, he isnt your typical 95-year-old and I think it is all because he stays active and healthy.

Dilworth said she believes he could have competed as well

at age ranges below 90, too. Williamson said hes been an active person his whole life. He credits his recent wins at the se-nior games to working out three times a week.

I cant stand to stay still I

have a wonderful appetite and I sleep well because Im active, Williamson said.

Tryon Economic Develop-ment Director Crys Armbrust also announced that the anticipated completion date of the renovations to the building is June 1. Armbrust said contractors have finished boxing in one of the interior bays and the brick mason should be completed this week. The roof was completed last week as well as half of the interior electrical, Armbrust said.

The deed states that the prop-erty is to be used by the Town of Tryon for the purpose of establish-ing and main-taining a public gathering place for the use of the citizens of Polk County and not be limited to the installation of tables, benches, bicycle racks, i n f o r m a t i o n displays, art exhibits, plantings, water features and other like facilities.

Property owner Bob Lane, who is restoring the building for retail and public gathering purposes, agreed to lease the easement to Tryon for $1.

Plans are for the plaza to in-clude a wine bar, restaurant, ice cream shop and an artist gallery and studio, said Armbrust.

Melanie Archer signed a lease to bring a new food option to Tryon.

The Ruby Slipper will be a caf offering food, wine, coffee, gelato and soft serve ice cream. Archer hopes to have the restaurant open to the public this summer.

I wanted it to be a nice place

for the community somewhere to come after the movie and talk about it over a glass of wine, Archer said.

A pergola outside will offer outdoor seating open not only to restaurant goers but passersby as well.

Opening a gallery in the left side of the location is Linda Sea-groves.

Linda & Lily Studio will revive Seagroves love of interacting with the public about art.

I like to talk with the people and meet the people who come in the gallery to find out what their interests are, she said.

Seagroves most recently sold her work out of Kath-leens Gallery, which moved f r o m Tr a d e Street to Saluda last year. Sea-groves works in clay creating

whimsical items such as catbird houses, wine stoppers, garden monikers and pet urns, as well as painting.

Several other artists work will be featured at the gallery includ-ing Larson Dunns metalwork jewelry, Mike Locke paintings, calligraphy cards by Susie Gurnik, Chris Baschons T-shirts and medullas, and beadwork jewelry of Sam Lovelace, among others.

The building, located at the corner of Trade and Maple Streets, has had numerous uses over the years, including a service sta-tion, a realty office, a clothier and most recently the St. Lukes Thrift Store.

Emma Whitaker, a third grad-er at Campobello Gramling School, started collecting toys for kids in Haiti as a challenge from her dad, David. Let Them Play is a mission ministry started by Emma.

Its goal is to spread joy and the love of Jesus to children around the world and show them that someone cares.

This ministry collects toys and books that are given as a part of childrens meals at restaurants and sends them on mission trips around the world. They also col-lect other small toys as long as they are in very good condition.

Her job in the effort is to collect toys and pack them up.

From there, her dad takes control. Emma says, I believe the kids will be really happy, because the toys may be all they get.

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 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.
