Campaign launches to pay off Simone sculpture$55k still owedby Leah Justice

Always Tryon has initiated a campaign to raise money over the summer to finish paying for the Nina Simone sculpture.

The sculptor is still owed $55,000 for the statue, which sits in the Nina Simone plaza in downtown Tryon.

Always Tryon, a citizen and business group that was formed last summer to initiate economic development downtown, sent out a letter last week detailing the campaign.

When citizens concerned about Tryons future met in July last summer, an issue for many was the remaining pay-ment owed on the Nina Sim-one statue, states the letter, signed by Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples, Tryon Downtown De-velopment Association (TDDA) chair Steve Cobb and Always Tryon Steering Committees Jim Wright.After several months of gathering facts and discussing

solutions, we agree the debt is a commitment of the community and needs to be paid.

The letter also states that there is a notebook of all docu-ments located in the town man-agers office at town hall for any interested parties to review.

An escrow account has been set up at Bank of America to hold contributions to the debt. Contributions will be tax de-ductible if checks are made to TDDA, DBA Nina Simone Escrow Account.

When final payment is made to the sculptor, the committee says it will request the neces-sary legal documents to transfer ownership of the statue and a complete release from the sculp-

tor. If the project fails, all funds will be returned to contributors.

If there are extra funds col-lected, the town will use the money for future maintenance of the sculpture.

Always Tryon requested ear-lier this year that the Town of Tryon take ownership of the sculpture once payment is com-pleted.

The letter said that the town has commitments from several members of the community to kick off the fund drive.

We believe a successful fund drive will minimize a divisive issue in the community, bring resolution to the ownership of the statue and avoid potential litigation with the sculptor over the debt, states the letter.

The fund drive will conclude no later than Sept. 1, 2013.

son Park pool.Commissioners met Monday,

May 20 and decided to leave this years fees the same but asked its recreation advisory board to meet and make recommendations to adjust fees for next year.

Gibson Park pool is scheduled to hold an open house on June 1 from 4 to 6 p.m. with a free swim for the public, refreshments and early registration for annual pool passes.

Swimming lessons begin on June 4 with the pool scheduled to open to the public on June 8. Polk County Schools dismiss for sum-mer break on June 7 with summer camp at Stearns gym beginning the week following.

Commissioners began hold-ing workshops on the upcoming fiscal year 2013-2014 budget last week and held discussions on the recreation department on three separate days.

The majority of the board expressed concern over the pools annual deficit and said they want the fees to more accurately match the costs to run the pool. Fees for the pool, swimming lessons and summer camp have not been ad-

justed in several years. Recreation director Patty Aldred brought rec-ommendations of slight increases to the board, that ranged from increasing summer camp fees per week as well as swimming lessons and pool passes.

Aldred told commissioners on May 20 on pool passes, for example, the department could give a 50 percent discounted rate on families with five people, then a 25 percent discount from six persons and above. She said based on what people bought last year that would bring in $8,000 worth of revenue compared to $3,710 in 2012 revenues.

Aldred also said the pool could do away with pool passes altogeth-er and charge $2 per person every time they go through the gate.

The fee per person currently is $3 per person without a pass. An annual pass is $65.

Commissioner Ted Owens asked if doing away with pool passes would bring in more mon-ey. Aldred said yes, but it may keep people from coming.

Commissioner Tom Pack rec-ommended sending the proposals to the recreation board and asking for a recommendation. Aldred said she would put it on the recreation boards agenda for July.

Three sides to every controversyTo the editor:

In Wednesdays paper a well-meaning gentleman admonished us, Dont believe everything you read in letters to the editor or emails you receive. Seek out the facts. Excellent advice; well written!

Unfortunately, the only facts that are apparent to me in the letter are that the gentleman had talked to the accused commis-sioners and heard the facts and their statements rang true: that the commissioners had not run Mr. Sprague out of town. He

has given us no facts except his unsupported statements, which would likely not stand up in a court of law or the court of public opinion.

My own experience has taught me that in every controversy, there are three sides to every question: my side, your side and the truth (or what really happened). From what little I have read, former commissioner McDermott so far has had a firmer grasp on trying to make facts public than anybody else involved. The gentleman - or the commissioners in question - might wish to make the facts known to all of us.

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.
