Biker Bear Streat leaves legacy of serviceby Samantha Hurst

John Bear Streat once gave a dog the shirt off his back.

He also helped take care of a hospice patient from time to time and donned a Santa cos-tume each year for St. Lukes Hospital where his wife, Leslie Burgess works.

You dont expect that from

a big leathery biker, said Bur-gess. But thats just the kind of man Bear was.

Streat passed away Wednes-day, Nov. 30 from injuries he sustained in a motorcycle ac-cident after leaving the Polk County Toy Run Saturday, Nov. 26.

Just 10 minutes before the

accident, Streat had dropped his wife off and continued on with other bikers. Burgess said officers investigating the wreck havent been able to determine a cause, while doctors said Bear showed no signs of any medical condition that could have made

him lose control of the bike that day.

Regardless of why it hap-pened, Burgess said her hus-band died doing what he loved. He died in the saddle.

A tough man by the look of things, the 64-year-old tattoo artist was known to be a kind soul through and through.

The day before Thanksgiv-ing, Bear walked into St. Lukes Hospital lugging a deep fried turkey for all the staff to enjoy. In fact, Burgess said all she had to do was mention the hospital needed something and he was there.

St. Lukes spokesperson Kathy Woodham said words could not express the loss staff members feel.

As a small hospital, we are like family, so this news has been pretty tough for us. Bear was a generous, caring man with a really big heart. I

was lucky to get to know him several years ago - I needed a Santa for the parade, so he and Leslie both volunteered to help me out! He came with his truck, helped load and decorate a hospital gurney, donned a Santa suit and had a blast in that parade. Ever since, he was the one I called on to be our Santa.

The hospital had purchased Bear a new Santa suit and he was even growing out his beard so it would feel real when the kids tugged on it, Burgess said.

Oh, and the story about giv-ing a dog the shirt off his back is no tall tale.

Burgess said Bear showed up at her house four hours late for a date early on in their re-lationship.

Though most women might have been furious, Burgess heard him out long enough to learn that he stopped when he saw a dog that had been hit by a car. He wrapped the dog in his shirt and rushed it to a vet.

Bear even stayed and petted the dog while the vet put it to sleep.

I thought, Thats the man for me, Burgess said.

Streat, a tattoo shop owner from New Orleans, became a fully giving transplant, Bur-gess said, after the two married in 2000. It wasnt long before he made friends with a few other bikers and began riding in the annual Polk County Toy Run.

While Streat may have rode in his last toy run Saturday, Nov. 26, winding his way through the mountains he had come to call home, it wont likely be the last one he has an affect on.

Burgess said she heard a par-ticularly large number of teddy bears were collected in Bears honor at the Smoky Mountain Toy Run in Buncombe County Dec. 3.

Im just amazed by the man still today, Burgess said. Just amazed.

Raking leaves; another meaningful Grassroots experience

Grassroots

by Chris Jakubowicz

Ah the good ol days . When people used to perform all sorts of heavy work with their bare hands, without the use of a machine or tool.

Kids used to walk 5 miles to school each way in the rain, sleet or snow; they used to do it uphill both ways mind you.

If you had to go somewhere you either walked or rode your trusty steed, with no use of fossil fuels to burn. You had to heat your house with a stove or fireplace, and cool off in the creek or with a block of ice. The trustworthy hand fan also worked wonders for those old timers.

As far as leaves go in the fall, get this - people used to literally rake them; by hand.With a real rake! No, seriously.

There were no blowers back in those days to pollute the air with noise and fumes. Just the two God given hands to pull that rake through the leaves. The laborious

task of taking on the leaves single -handedly was not an option. It was the way. No calling the local handy-man or landscape professional to come and blow them away for your convenience.

I, for one, was truly inspired by these thoughts this year. So me, being Mr. Grassroots himself, decided to use one such actual rake to pile up my leaves in order to get them out of harms way.

The thought of our forefathers having no other option other than grabbing Mr. Trusty Rake and going to work is really grounding and yet challeng-ing. For me, it was a father and son affair. The joy of hearing the leaves rustle as we heaved and hoed through the blanket of leaves that covered the ground. The smell of dead leaves being whipped up from the ground, and permeating the air

around you with the smell of fall. Memories last forever, especially when they involve you and your son, working together, with rakes in hand. I wouldnt have had it any other way.

The point is that it gave me a grassroots experience that we take for granted every fall. It also nearly gave me callouses. Whats a

few callouses on your hand when you are making memories with your kid and getting close to nature? Plus, we

were able to work muscles we forgot we had.

For years I have used the old leaf blower. Earplugs in my ears, and trying to avoid the backlash of dust and fumes that saturated the air from the hand-held gasoline powered tornado (conveniently sold at your local hardware store).

I did quick work of the leaves in my yard with that blower of mine. I sure showed them whos boss. Quickly and (somewhat) accurately I was able to pile them up in order to dispose of them. The only things it cost me were the cost for the gasoline/oil mixture, a near deaf experience, neighbor-hood noise pollution, and my arms

hurting and vibrating for the next hour. The most important thing is I saved time.

Is that really most important?An older and wiser friend of

mine recently told me that in most Native American languages, there is no word for time. Interesting. No word for time? Time must not have been real important to them. It was about the experience.

If there was no word for time in our modern English language, things like leaf blowers, micro-waves, fast food, speed limit and dishwashers may have never been invented. But thank the Lord above for dishwashers.

Time may not have been added to our vernacular if the need to track it wasnt ever there. Weve all grown up with the need to want a leaf blower to ease our labors - I sure have.

Picking up a rake helps to scrape up the time I feel is crouching at my door sometimes, and doing it with my son reminds me its not so bad to ignore the need for speed

Chris Jakubowicz lives in Tryon with his wife and children. His bi-weekly column will focus on how he and his family are trying to get back to their grassroots. Jakubowicz can be reached by email at [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 human Tongue


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
