CorrectionIn Polk County District Court results on page 10 in the Friday,

Feb. 10 Tryon Daily Bulletin an egregious error was made on the Bulletin staffs part that listed erroneous charges against Samantha Emory Foster. Foster was not convicted of misdemeanor larceny as the court results showed.

Unfortunately, in typesetting the records, the Bulletins reporter inadvertently included under Samantha Fosters name misdemeanor larceny charges that were actually for Laura Anne Freeman, who was sentenced to three years unsupervised probation and $9,100 in restitution.

The reporter and staff apologize greatly to Foster for the error. The Bulletin assures readers that we are typically very meticulous about reporting these court results as they are written by the court. The staff plans to put in additional steps to make sure something like this does not happen again.

Again, our sincere apologies,Samantha Hurst

percent greater bid required, or a bid of $4,051,831.20.

Attorney Lara Baker, repre-senting Overmountain Trace Hold-ings, submitted the upset bid at the courthouse. A $192,944.34 deposit was made, or five percent of the bid. It is not known who owns Overmountain Trace Holdings LLC, but the Overmountain Vic-tory Trail is known to run through part of the White Oak property.

White Oak Development is a planned 941.93-acre subdivision located in the Green Creek Town-ship. Just under 940 acres of the land was purchased in October 2003 by White Oak Development Partners, LLC for $3.25 million.

The developers ran into fi-nancial issues, after which they could not meet deadlines to pay Polk County for a water line ran to the subdivision. White Oak still owes Polk County $141,260 for the water line and approximately $104,000 to Polk for 2010 and 2011 taxes.

A judge ordered White Oak to pay the more than $140,000 to Polk County after the county sued the development for not completing

payments for the water line.White Oaks original plans

included a golf course/clubhouse, vineyard, equestrian center, nature trails, a lake and tennis facilities, among other amenities.

The development has con-structed nine holes of the planned golf course. There are five homes constructed at the development, one of which has obtained a cer-tificate of occupancy.

White Oak also faces a lawsuit from a property owner who claims that White Oak agreed to buy back their property if the development did not complete the golf course and equestrian facilities as pro-posed. Donald and Priscilla Neault filed a lawsuit on Nov. 4, 2011 and are asking for $448,000, which was their purchase price.

White Oak completed half of the planned 18-hole golf course around October 2008, but since that time has not completed further work and the planned golf facilities of Club at White Oak have never been completed, states the Neaults lawsuit.

In December 2011, White Oak officials said they were working to obtain a development partner in order to get all the debts paid and to re-launch the development.

Norris MarstonNorris Marston died Feb. 9,

2012, after a long battle with congestive heart failure. He was 80 years old. Though presently of Tryon, he was a long-time resi-dent of Cape Ann, Mass. Born in Boston, he grew up in Rockport, Mass. and for many years was the doyen of the family farm on Gloucesters Dennison St. N o c k y, as he was known to most every-one, was a retired Del-ta Airlines captain.

In 1953, he gradu-ated from the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, earning a bachelor of science degree in marine and electrical engineering and an officers commission in the Naval Reserve.

Following a brief stint as a merchant officer, he transferred to the regular navy and at-tended flight school

in Pensacola, Fla. For a number of years he

flew out of the South Weymouth Naval Air Station, patrolling the east coast of North America and Canada in command of a Lock-heed P2V (Sub Hunter).

As part of his distinguished

Obituaries career as a Navy pilot, he at-tended atomic bomb school and was among an elite few certified to fly planes carrying the Betty Weapon. A pilots pilot, he was encouraged to become an astro-naut, but his 64 height kept him from being selected.

Following his Navy service, he joined Delta Airlines, for whom he was a commercial pilot for the next 35 years.

Norris loved the sea. He was an excellent sailor with an impres-sive Rhoads-19 racing record at the Annisquam Yacht Club. He was a fixture in Lobster Cove and well received in many ports along the east coast and the Chesapeake Bay aboard his beloved 55 ft. Wel-lington ketch, Amazing Grace.

A devoted father and mentor to dozens of young people who valued his experience and advice, he was known for his great love of life, his stories and his wonder-ful sense of humor. His was a life proudly and joyfully lived. He was truly an officer and a gentle-man and will be greatly missed.

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.

humans, so they use their tongues and the pads of their feet to

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.
