A joint operation involving the Polk County Sheriffs Of-fice, N.C. Highway Patrol and N.C. State Bureau of Investiga-tion (SBI) discovered approxi-mately 525 marijuana plants worth an estimated street value of $1.26 million growing in Polk County last week.

Sheriffs officers said last Thursday, Aug. 2, a highway patrol helicopter discovered two areas in the county in which

marijuana plants were growing.The largest area was dis-

covered in a wooded area of Saluda with 505 marijuana plants. Another area was dis-covered in Mill Spring with approximately 20 plants.

Officers said the many of the plants discovered were approximately 3 feet high and larger.

One marijuana plant has an estimated street value of $2,400, officers said.

For those interested in becom-ing a Therapeutic Riding of Tryon (TROT) volunteer, a new volunteer training session will be held Satur-day, Aug. 18 at 9 a.m. at FENCE.

Volunteers say participating with TROT is one of the most rewarding experiences one will ever have. Students, of all ages are enriched by the enthusiasm of the horses, volunteers and friends.

The smiles on their faces are true evidence of their feelings. It is very contagious and fulfill-ing, said Robbie Hamrick. Our horses are volunteers also, and are a very special bunch.They know the good they provide and sense the reward.

Individuals can volunteer by leading a horse, being a side-walker or helping around the barn.

TROTs goal is to change and enrich lives by teaching horsemanship skills to adults and children with physical, cognitive, developmental and emotional

challenges in a safe, friendly and supportive environment.

TROT is a Premier Accredited Center by PATH International, www.pathintl.org, and is a pro-gram of FENCE.

The programs barn, Rose-marys Barn, is located on FENCE property.

TROT currently has three to four sessions Monday through Thursday afternoons. The pro-gram will end this year with a TROT Horse Show on Nov. 17 at FENCE. The community is invited.

holders, crayons and folders. Then families walked with their kids to the next table where each child was able to pick out their choice of backpack.

Costco donated a number of backpacks to Polk County Schools, which then passed on 150 to Outreach, Reedy said. Reedy then purchased another 350 bags through Buy Way in Columbus, which offered them at a significant discount to Outreach.

For the families who made it by early in the day, there was a selection of backpacks with de-signs of everything from Hannah Montana to Spongebob and even outdoorsy green bags to suit a childs preference.

I want the kids to pick out their bags because its fun for them and they get to be who they are with the bag they carry, Reedy said.

Outreach(Continued from page 1)

Reedy said her aim with the supply drive this year was to make the event a fun affair for the entire family. She said she didnt want it to feel like just another charity event.

I think this year we wanted to provide a good atmosphere for the kids and the parents, Reedy said.

Numerous area health orga-nizations Baker Chiropractic, Collins Dental Clinic, Edney Eye, Polk Fit Fresh and Friendly, the Polk Wellness Center and St. Lukes Hospital were also on hand to provide screenings and health information to families.

The Columbus Fire Depart-ment even showed up with plastic firefighter hats, which most of the younger kids wore out of the building as they left.

At the end of the day, Reedy said Outreach was able to assist more than 200 children in prepar-ing to go back to school.

Classes open back up on Aug. 27 in Polk County.

When Colleen Stich started feeling bad one evening, she decided she needed to see a doctor. Since her primary care office was closed for the day, she opted to go to The Clinic at Walmart.

I hurt all over, Colleen says. I had never had strep before, but the nurse practitioner said she thought it was strep and tested for it, and it was. Its nice to we have this option. I didnt feel rushed, but yet I was and out quickly. The staff was very professional.

Colleens sister, Cathleen Kress, was so amazed by Colleens experience that when she, too, became ill, she went to visit The Clinic at Walmart. Im a nurse, and I was completely impressed because the nurse practitioner never took her eyes off of me as she put my information in on the computer and she washed her hands numerous times. The Clinic at Walmart is open every day, offering day and night hours, for your health and convenience.

Lula C. StatonLula C. Staton of Saluda went

to be with the Lord on Sunday, Aug. 5, 2012 at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills in Lan-drum.

She was born Oct. 2, 1912 to M.T. (Tom) and Bessie Summey Staton and lived the majority of her nearly 100 years in Saluda.

She was of the Baptist faith and spent many hours each week listening to her favorite TV preachers. Before the gradual loss of her sight, she loved to crochet and watch her favorite baseball team, the Atlanta Braves.

In recent years, she was still able to share many hours on the phone talking with family and

Obituaries friends and was faithful in keep-ing up with the sick and shut-ins.Lula worked in hosiery mills

in Tryon and East Flat Rock and for Autumn Care in Saluda before retiring to care for her parents. Over the years, she said she would rather take care of children than to eat when she was hungry. That was evident by all the spe-cial love and care that she gave to her nieces, nephews and several generations of their families.

In her early years, she also cared for numerous children of many friends who cherish the time she spent with them.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother, Monty (M.C.) Staton and two sisters, Emmie Staton Gil-bert and Isabel Staton Holbert.

Lula is survived by her neph-ews James Gilbert and wife

Polk Bahai quotations

For several years the Polk County Bahai Group has placed Bahai quotations into the Bulletin.

The Polk Bahai group has re-ceived requests from those interested in new quotations. Organizers said if you would like to receive the new quotations in the mail, you may con-tact Ron Mosseller at 828-859-0292 or by mail at 20 Viewmont Heights, Apt. C2, Tryon, N.C. 28782.

Linda, and nephew Tom Gilbert; nieces, Sandra Gilbert McCall, Brenda Gilbert Durham, Belva Holbert Morrow, Anita Holbert Newman, Suzanne Staton Bane and Becky Staton Rhodes and sister-in-law, Louise Staton. Also surviving are numerous great-nieces and nephews and great-great-nieces and nephews who all referred to her lovingly as Boober. She will be missed greatly by her faithful friend and companion, her cat Frisky.

Special thanks go to two very special care givers, Michele Phil-lips and Jackie Huffman for the many hours of special care and love given to Lula, Hospice nurse Jane Foster, the staff at Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills, Dr. Kim Bridges, Libby Carter with the CAP program of Polk County, the staff of Amazing

Grace, extended family, friends, neighbors and Rev. Henry Vegter and wife, Wilma, who all showed a special love and support for Lula.

The family will receive friends from noon-1:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 8, 2012 at Petty Funeral Home. Funeral services will fol-low at 1:30 p.m. at the funeral home chapel conducted by Rev. Henry Vegter. Burial will follow in Saluda Cemetery in Saluda.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hospice House of the Carolina Foothills, 260 Fairwinds Road, Landrum, SC 29356 or to Friendship Baptist Church, P.O. Box 505, Saluda, NC 28773.

The family is at the home, 156 Frost Road, Saluda.

Back To School Every August and September in the United States, millions of kids return to their school studies. This time is commonly called Back to School. There are many different types of school programs beginning at this time, such as elementary school, middle school, and high school, and even colleges and universities. Peo-ple of all ages attend school to learn many differ-ent things. Elementary school is for ages five to 10; middle school is for ages 11 to 13; and high school is for kids from 14 to 17 or 18, depending on their birthday. When you graduate from your grade school studies at the end of high school, it is time to decide whether or not you will attend college. College is for any age group that has completed high school. Colleges and universi-ties are schools where you can further your high school studies. Although colleges and universities are com-monly referred to as one and the same, when you attend a small college you are usually there to obtain a two-year degree. This two- year degree may be an Associates degree, such as a teach-ing assistant degree. If you choose to attend a university, you will study for an additional four to five years after high school, and you will receive a Bachelors or Masters degree. Students at colleges and universities, instead of learning a little bit of information about many things, such as math, science, language, and history, learn a lot about a few specific things. For example, if you want to become a history teacher, you would go to a university for four years and learn specifically about history and how to teach it.

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
