Toy Run raises $7,225, surpasses 2010Event draws 425 motorcyclesby Leah Justice

Polk County was ATM (all things motorcycle) Saturday, Nov. 26 as riders paraded all over

the county in the annual Toy Run to raise toys and money for area needy children.

This years Polk County Toy Run raised $7,225, included 425 motorcycles with 600 riders and collected 17 bags of toys.

This was the best year since we had a Harley Davidson raffle a few years ago, Toy Run director Barry Gee said. This year was excellent.

ments keep a minimum of 8 percent of their general funds in reserves. Most small towns keep at least 20 percent of their general funds in reserves.

Columbus built its fund bal-ance to $523,252 in available funds, or fund balance that is not reserved. The towns total fund balance is $577,933 after it added $89,736 last year to the total.

The previous year, fiscal year 2009-2010, Columbus had an unassigned fund balance of 52.4 percent of its general fund.

Columbus also ended the year in the positive overall, with revenues exceeding expendi-

tures in both the general fund and the water/sewer fund.

In fiscal year 2010-2011, which ended June 30, 2011, the towns general fund ended with revenues exceeding expendi-tures by $70,656, according to the audit report.

Although the towns reve-nues were less than budgeted by $72,899, actual expenses were less than budget by $143,555 for a year-end positive. Major reasons for ending the year with revenues over expenditures were a reduction in staff in the planning department, the clos-ing of the towns recycling cen-ter and decreases in expenses for the annual Fourth of July celebration.

The proprietary fund, or wa-

ter and sewer fund, also ended the year with revenues exceed-ing expenses. The water and sewer fund ended the year with $1,070,506 in revenues and spent $936,152, for an operating income of $134,354, according to the audit.

Other financial highlights of the year include a net increase of $19,822 in the towns total debt for the general fund, and a decrease of $169,038 in the total debt in the water and sewer fund.

Financial activities for last year included the purchase of land adjacent to Veterans Park for $96,979. Funding for the acquisition came from grants from the Polk County Commu-nity Foundation and the North

Columbusadds(Continued from page 1)

Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Fund, as well as donations. The town also sold four police vehicles for a $19,080 gain.

In the water and sewer fund, the town implemented a 5 per-cent increase in both water and sewer rates during fiscal year 2010-2011, which increased service charges by $35,000. The town also received a couple grants during the year for water/sewer activities, including a $50,000 grant from the North Carolina Clean Water Man-agement Trust Fund to evalu-ate storm water quality and a $499,900 grant from the N.C. Rural Center for design and planning of the joint water line between Columbus, Saluda and Tryon.

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.
