Zach Pace said this years festival was one of the hottest hes attended and people in distress hadnt stayed hydrated enough. He said most of the emergencies were children. One person was transported to the hospital, he said, but others were treated for symptoms on scene.

Some relief from Saturdays heat was offered by Autumn Care, which provided a water mister near the library.

Davis has been Tryons fire chief since 2007 and was given the title of planning and zoning administrator in 2010.

Prior to Hembree, Tryons manager was Dr. Jack Miller,

AFS seeks local host families for exchange studentsEvery day, 16-year-old Julie

from Denmark checks her emails and the post office box, waiting for one specific letter: An invi-tation from a family in Western North Carolina who is willing to include her in their family life for the next school year.

Julie, who is an athlete and also enjoys to sing and be around younger children, has been accepted by the non-profit or-ganization AFS Intercultural Programs for the one-year for-eign exchange student program. But AFS volunteers in Western North Carolina (WNC) are hav-

ing a hard time f inding host families this year.

It is even harder than last year, said Ger-ry Bair, AFS coordinator for WNC.

Besides Ju-lie, 45 other teenagers be-tween 16 and 18 years old, most-ly from European countries but also from Thailand, Japan, China and South America, are wait-

ing for homes. They have to be accepted by a family in WNC within the next two weeks, because the enrollment at most high schools ends July 31.

All students are selected

and have gone through a prepa-ration program since November of last year.

We do our best to match stu-

dents with the families looking for common interests, said Bair, area team chair for WNC. We also act as liaisons during the year, get in touch once a month to make sure everything is all right. If not, we are here to help.

Also, there are several orien-tations and meetings organized by AFS volunteers to support the families and help the students to get adjusted.

At this time we are not only looking for families to host a student for one year, but also for


At this time we are not only looking for families to host a student for one year, but also for welcome families, which give a student a home for 4 to 8 weeks.

These welcome families give the students a way to come to the United States. Very often,

they make friends in school or meet friends of the welcome family and market them-selves to find a permanent host family for the rest of the school year. We work with the schools and people of the community to find permanent families, said Bair.

Polk County has a strong tradition of hosting foreign exchange students. More than 200 young people from all over the world have been able to call Polk County home since the beginning of the program in the 1970s.

I really hope we can con-tinue this tradition next school year, said local volunteer Lone Krarup.

Anybody can be a host fam-ily with AFS single man or woman, couples with or without

kids, young adults or older. An interest in a student

from another culture is what we are looking for, said Bair, who adds that a background check is required by law.

Land of Ladybugs

a speciaL Thank you To aLL our sponsors!

A ladybug is a type of beetle known for its bright red and black coloring. There are over 5,000 species worldwide, including orange, yellow, brown, gray, and entirely black lady-bugs. They are also known around the world as ladybirds, ladybird beetles, ladyclocks, lady cows, or lady flies. These insects range in size from one millimeter to 10 millimeters in length. Many farmers consider some types of ladybugs a pest, while other types are considered beneficial, because they prey on other small insects, such as aphids (which are harmful to many crops). Ladybugs also eat certain types of pollen. Ladybugs origi-nated in England, and despite a popular myth, the number of spots on their wing covers does not indicate their age. Ladybugs are able to fly. Their wings are located underneath the red and black wing covers. They are also able to walk on many different types of sur-faces, due to tiny claws and a sticky secretion that helps them stick. This allows them to search for food in many places. Most ladybugs live an average of one to two years.

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.
