The Polk Community Foundation funded a project that commissioned local artists to use their creative abilities to fashion recycle bins with their own individual themes. Metal artist Eiserloh used coon dogs treeing a raccoon as the subject for his bin, which complements one of Saludas best-loved festivals, Coon Dog Day, held each year in July.

received the same award for 2010 while he served as chief.

Columbus Town Council met Aug. 16 and congratulated Bed-dingfield on the recognition.

It was humbling and it was an honor, Beddingfield said. The nomination brought tears to my eyes. Sometimes you dont real-ize the accomplishments youre making when youre making them.

Beddingfield said when he took the chief position he stepped into a well-run department where many accomplishments were made under former chief Ken-nedy. He also said having council and staff who supports his deci-sions makes his job a lot easier and commended his officers for doing a great job.

Beddingfield was recognized at the annual Region C Criminal Justice Advisory Committee awards banquet held on June 26.

Bedding-f ie ld took over as Co-lumbus Po-l ice Chief f o l l o w i n g Kennedys retirement in 2010. Bed-d i n g f i e l d f o r m e r l y served as as-sistant chief.

Beddingfield is also the site coordinator and assessor for the BikeSafe North Carolina motor-cycle safety program at the police department and was instrumental in the creation and growing suc-cess of the Polk County Mental Health Task Force, which brings together local law enforcement, St. Lukes Hospital, the depart-ment of social services and men-tal health providers to address concerns and improve the system for the benefit of those suffering from mental illness and substance

abuse.Beddingfield graduated from

Gardner-Webb University with a bachelors degree and is nearing completion of a masters degree from the University of North Carolina-Pembroke. He has served in law enforcement for over 20 years, including with the

The Meeting Place, senior rec-reation center, at 75 Carmel Lane in Columbus will sponsor a CARFIT event on Thursday, Sept. 6 at the center from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Those wishing to partici-pate in the free ac-tivity should call the center at 828-894-0001 to make reservations.

As a group, older drivers are typically safe drivers. They are more likely to wear their seat belts and are less likely to drink and drive. They do, however, as a group leave a higher fatality rate during crashes. There are ways to adapt your car and to

adjust your fit within it to reduce your risk of injury during a crash.

During a CARFIT event, trained technicians work with driv-

ers to ensure that they fit their personal vehicle properly, using a professionally developed 12-part checklist to make adjust-ments and offer suggestions that will improve

their safety behind the steering wheel.

For more information, call Wil-liam Boyd at 828-859-7605.

Last two Columbus Fabulous Fourth festivals gain revenueby Leah Justice

Since the Town of Columbus or-ganized a committee to organize the Fabulous Fourth festival, the town has made money instead of lost.

Columbus Town Council met Thursday, Aug. 16 and reviewed revenues and expenditures for the last two festivals.

In total, the 2011 and 2012 had $2,231 in revenues over expendi-tures. The 2012 festival had $4,560 in revenues under expenditures but a leftover of $6,791 from the 2011 festival was used to cover the overages.

Columbus decided two years ago to create a committee and conduct the festival through dona-tions instead of town funding after realizing major costs of the festivals.

The 2010 festival was a loss for the town, with expenditures exceed-ing revenues by $19,279.

The 2009 festival cost even more money, with expenditures exceeding revenues by $26,900 and the 2008 festival was the most costly in the last few years, with expenditures exceeding revenues by $29,167, according to the towns data.

Council members commended the committee for its work over the past couple of years organizing the festivals and saving the town money.

Columbus Mayor Eric McIntyre also thanked the Polk County Board of Commissioners for stepping up in 2011 to complete payments for the fireworks.

Festival committee chair Ernie Kan said people should realize that there are seven or eight people on the committee and they do all the work for the festival. She said the committee tried to work with the money they collected over the two-year period and it was people donating money the first year that carried over for the second year.

Were very appreciative of the job you do and your leadership, McIntyre told Kan.

Kan announced later in the meeting that she will not chair the festival committee next year,

although she will remain on the committee.

The 2012 Fabulous Fourth festi-val held downtown in July was the towns 50th celebration.

Wildflowers are blooming in Pearsons FallsTo the editor:

As I walk the trail in Pearsons Falls, Im amazed at all I see in bloom. Im tempted to stop the other visitors and ask, Did you notice the red seed pod that has pushed up from the Jack-in-the-Pulpit? They just walked past it and didnt notice, as it is small and hidden by other foliage.

Walking along the trail and viewing Pearsons Falls, there is magic bursting from the forest floor that we dont know to look for unless weve had a guided walk. If the guided walk were to occur this week, your guide would

identify the location of the Jack-in-the-Pulpit, the Carolina Elephants Foot, Jewel Weed, Asters, and the Pink Turtlehead. If theyre not blooming in September for the guided wildflower walk, you can be assured that other plants will be blooming in this special cove along Colt Creek.

You are encouraged to preregis-ter for the guided walks as enroll-ment is limited. Tuesday, Sept. 11

is the date for the wildflower identification walk that begins at 10:30 a.m.

In October, the Tryon Gar-den Club will sponsor three

other guided walks in which you will learn to identify the trees and shrubs.

Call 828-749-3031 to prereg-ister or to learn more about the guided walks.

District 31-A 2nd Vice District Governor David Titus came from Shelby, N.C. to meet with the Co-lumbus Lions Club recently. Lion Titus explained the work of the North Carolina Lions Incorporated (NCLI) as supported by contribu-tions to their Humanitarian/White Cane programs.

NCLI provided more than 1,200 White Canes to Visually Impaired Persons (Lions VIPs) in North Carolina last year. They also provided matching funds to local Lions Clubs for providing more than 1,000 eye exams and 2,000 pairs of glasses to qualified persons. NCLI also pays more than 80 percent of the cost for local clubs to send VIP campers to Camp Dogwood on Lake Norman, and most of the cost of the annual VIP Fishing Tournament on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. NCLI provided college scholarships to 13 children of VIPs last year and recycled more than 181,000 pairs of eyeglasses.

The NCLI Vision Van wore out and has been replaced by a fifth-wheel Mobile Unit pulled by a pickup truck. The new unit will offer hearing checks in addition to vision screenings. The Columbus Lions will bring this unit to the Green Creek Heritage Festival in 2013; unfortunately, it was sched-uled somewhere else this year.

Every cent of contributions to Columbus Lions Club and pro-ceeds from its fundraising activities go to support the Lions work as mentioned above and the service work of the local club. Addition-ally, Columbus Lions lend medi-cal equipment to anyone, serve VIPs a luncheon in summer and visit them with gifts at Christmas. All administrative and overhead costs are paid by the individual Lions themselves. If you would like to be a part of these activities, contact Lion Fran Goodwin at 828-894-2505.

Sometimes someone else can tell a story far better than I can. The following story is from the The Power of Intention, by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

In Brooklyn, N.Y., Chush is a school that caters to learning-disabled children. Some children remain in Chush for their entire school career, while others can be mainstreamed into conventional schools.

At a Chush fundraising dinner, the father of a Chush child deliv-ered a speech that would never be forgotten by all who attended. After extolling the school and its dedi-cated staff, he cried out, Where is the perfection in my son, Shaya? Everything God does is done with perfection. But my child cannot understand things as other children do. My child cannot remember facts and figures as other children do. Where is Gods perfection?

The audience was shocked by the question, pained by the fathers anguish and stilled by the piercing query.

I believe, the father answered, that when God brings a child like this into the world, the perfection that he seeks is in the way people react to this child. He then told the following story about his son, Shaya.

One afternoon Shaya and his father walked past a park where some boys Shaya knew were play-ing baseball.

Shaya asked, Do you think they will let me play?

Shayas father knew that his son was not at all athletic and that most boys would not want him on their team. But Shayas father understood that if his son was chosen to play it would give him a comfortable sense of belonging. Shayas father approached one of the boys in the field and asked if Shaya could play. The boy looked around for guidance from his teammates. Getting none, he took matters into his own hands and said, We are losing by six runs and the game is in the eighth inning. I guess he can be on our team and

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.

well try to put him up to bat in the ninth inning.

Shayas father was ecstatic as Shaya smiled broadly. Shaya was told to put on a glove and go out to play short center field. In the bot-tom of the eighth inning, Shayas team scored a few runs but was still behind by three. In the bottom of the ninth inning, Shayas team scored again and now with two outs and the bases loaded, with the potential winning run on base, Shaya was scheduled to be up. Would the team actually let Shaya bat at this juncture and give away their chance to win the game?

Surprisingly, Shaya was given the bat. Everyone knew that it was all but impossible because Shaya didnt even know how to hold the bat properly, let alone hit with it. However, as Shaya stepped up to the plate, the pitcher moved a few steps to lob the ball in softly so Shaya should at least be able to make contact. The first pitch came in and Shaya swung clumsily and missed.

One of Shayas teammates came up to Shaya and together they held the bat and faced the pitcher wait-ing for the next pitch. The pitcher again took a few steps forward to toss the ball softly toward Shaya. As the pitch came in, Shaya and his teammate swung at the bat and together they hit a slow ground ball to the pitcher. The pitcher picked up the soft grounder and could easily have thrown the ball to the first baseman. Shaya would have been out and that would have ended the game. Instead, the pitcher took the ball and threw it on a high arc to right field, far beyond reach of the first baseman.

Everyone started yelling, Sha-ya, run to first. Run to first. Never in his life had Shaya run to first. He scampered down the baseline wide-eyed and startled. By the time he reached first base, the right fielder had the ball. He could have thrown the ball to the second baseman, who would tag out Shaya, who was still running. But the right-fielder under-stood what the pitchers intentions were, so he threw the ball high and far over the third basemans head.

Everyone yelled, Run to sec-ond, run to second.

Shaya ran towards second base as the runners ahead of him deliriously circled the bases toward home. As Shaya reached second base, the opposing shortstop ran to him, turned him in the direction of third base and shouted, Run to third.

As Shaya rounded third, the boys from both teams ran behind him screaming, Shaya, run home.

Shaya ran home, stepped on home plate and all 18 boys lifted him on their shoulders and made him the hero, as he had just hit a grand slam and won the game for his team.

That day, said the father softly, with tears now rolling down his face, those 18 boys reached their level of Gods perfection.
