Kudzu is not the only invasive plant to cause problems in the area, FENCE officials said. Oriental bittersweet (top left), Japanese honeysuckle (top right), English ivy (bottom left) and privet are some of the other plants volunteers will remove April 18 along FENCEs Wildwood Trail.

Invasive plant project at FENCE

In support of National Vol-unteer Week, April 16 20, FENCE, in partnership with AmeriCorps Project Conserve, will host an invasive species removal project on Wednesday, April 18 at 9 a.m.

The project will focus on removing invasive plant spe-cies along the Wildwood Trail at FENCE.

Invasive plants destroy countless acres of native habi-tat, FENCE organizers said. They often decrease or elimi-nate the biodiversity that ex-ist within these ecosystems. Removing invasives helps to restore that biodiversity.

Local author, illustrator visit Sunny View Elementary

Sunny View Elementary children in pre-K - second grades had lots of questions for author Linda Martin and illustrator Alice Feagan (above). Feagan showed the Sunny View Elementary students examples of her cut-paper art (right). She also demonstrated how she drew a storyboard for the picture book and how a full-page spread went from a rough drawing to the finished product. (photos submitted by Angela Hall)

Sunny View Elementary recently had a visit from newly published author Linda Martin and illustrator Alice Feagan. They presented their new book, The Summer of the Rabbits.

Martin said the story is based on a true event, when their dog adopt-ed newborn rabbits and the family cared for them until they were big enough to release back into the wild. Sunny View organizers said the students were fascinated by the fact that the story happened near where they live, at the authors farm in Mill Spring. In addition, the students said they were surprised Feagan went to Polk County High School.

Students asked many questions about both writing and illustrating and got lots of encouragement from Martin and Feagan.

Everyone has a story to tell, said Martin.

Practice drawing everything! said Feagan. article submitted by Angela Hall

[email protected] Kudzu is a well-known in-vasive plant in this area, but oriental bittersweet, Japanese honeysuckle, English ivy and privet are also common.

FENCE will supply all the equipment and supplies needed for the project, but volunteers should bring their own water bottles and lunches. Because poison ivy and thorny bushes are present on the trail, FENCE

recommends volunteers wear long sleeves and pants.

of North Carolinas 100 coun-ties over the month. Rates increased in 10 counties and remained the same in six.

A majority of North Caro-linas counties have lower unemployment rates compared to last year, said N.C. Depart-ment of Commerce Deputy Secretary Dale Carroll. While the over-the-year numbers are positive, we must continue our focus on job growth across the state.

The countys rate is the sev-enth lowest in the state. Orange County had the lowest rate at 6.3 percent, followed by Gates and Henderson counties at 7.7 percent. Durham and Wake counties both had rates of 7.9 percent, while Buncombe had a rate of 8.2 percent.

Graham County had the states highest unemployment rate at 20.7 percent, down 0.2 percent from January. Ruther-ford County was seventh in the state at 15.0 percent.

Statewide, North Carolinas

unemployment rate (not sea-sonally adjusted) decreased from 10.5 in January to 10.1 in February. The states rate was 1.8 percent higher than the national rate in February, which was 8.3 percent.

Polk County had a labor force of 9,378 in February, of whom 788 were on the unem-ployment rolls.

Statewide, the number of people who were unemployed in February was 472,573.

South Carolinas seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped for the seventh con-secutive month, falling from 9.3 percent in January to 9.1 percent in February.

In the last 12 months, there was little change in the states overall labor force, but em-ployment improved, climbing about 32,560.

In Spartanburg and Green-ville counties, however, the jobless rate increased slightly. Spartanburgs rate in February was 9.5 percent, compared to 9.4 in January, and Greenville Countys rate went from 7.0 to 7.2.

RESIDENTIAL SPECIALIST John T. (Jack) Carey

John T. (Jack) Carey passed away on Friday, April 6, 2012 at Hospice of the Carolina Foothills.

Jack was born in Rochester, N.Y. and lived in that area until he retired in 1999. While earning his M.A. in preparation for a career in education, the University of Rochester sent him for practice teaching under the direction of a master teacher, Claire Reitz, later Claire Reitz Carey. The first phase of his working life (1961-1971) was spent teaching at all levels from grade six through graduate school. During those years he also earned his Ph.D. at the University of Buffalo, but a twist of fate enticed him to form his own construction business. Jack was fond of noting that, at retirement 28 years later, he was still serving some of the same customers with whom he began his business in 1971.

During those Rochester years, he and Claire raised a daughter, Anne Cornella (Frank), now of Pittsford, N.Y. and sons Stephen of Honeoye Falls, N.Y., Robert (Kari) of Mt. Vernon, Wash. and Mark (Susan) of Eugene, Ore. Seven grandchildren and a great-grandchild have since arrived.

Obituaries Horses were a big part of life at the familys mini-farm, and Jack learned some of the joys and tri-als of farming. Building barns, repairing ancient farm equipment and growing and harvesting hay were new skills he diligently pursued.

Upon retirement, he and Claire moved to the Lake Lanier area of South Carolina, just out-side of Tryon. During the Tryon years, his life was enhanced by a great variety of interesting, new friends in the Carolinas and by travel with Claire to Europe, Asia, Central and South America. Tryon was chosen because of FENCE and the Tryon Fine Arts Center and Jack became heavily involved with both those organi-zations, as well as with Habitat for Humanity. He was sorry that his volunteer time at Hospice was so brief, but he treasured the as-sociation. Habitat sponsored him for membership in the Second Wind Hall of Fame in 2010, one of his proudest achievements.

Memorials may be made to FENCE, the Tryon Fine Arts Center, Habitat for Humanity, Hospice of the Carolina Foothills or Holy Cross Episcopal Church, where a memorial service will be held at the convenience of the family.

Online condolences may be made at www.crowemortuary.com.

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.
