Pack said the individual can choose the time to be called each day. She said one gentle-man has his call come in at 5:30 p.m. because he works with farm equipment and fears that a large piece of equipment might fall on him during the day. Others want early morn-ing calls to make sure they didn’t fall when getting out of bed.

Pack added that many of the participants let the department know where a hidden key is so a deputy can enter the home if the individual is believed to be in danger.

Pack said the program has been incredibly beneficial to people in the community. She said if nothing else it provides a bit of peace of mind.

“Sometimes I think we are the only people some of these individuals are talking to on a regular basis,” she said. “I

have one lady whose machine never works, but sometimes I think it’s just because she wants someone to talk to.”

There is no restriction based on age, Pack said, adding that anyone who has a medical condition or is home alone on a regular basis could receive the call.

“What do you have to lose to be on it? It doesn’t cost anything,” Pack said. “If you know that you aren’t going to be there – we just ask that the person calls in and lets us know.”

Participants are also able to give the department a laundry list of important information to keep on file, such as emer-gency contacts, key holders, if there is a DNR in place, a physician’s name, if the indi-vidual walks with a cane or a

walker and if they have pets in the house.

Landrum council members seemed keenly interested in of-fering the service to the city’s own residents when Edgens proposed the idea in July.

“It’s been a good program over there [in Polk County] a n d f r o m w h a t I ’ v e heard it has done a lot for their elderly r e s i d e n t s , ” said Landrum City Council-

man Johnny Carruth. Polk County has offered to

allow Landrum to run a pilot version of the program through its system for up to about 50 people, Pack said.

Edgens said he conserva-tively thinks 30-35 people might be interested in partici-pating in the program initially. If the actual number grew far

“[RUOK has] been a good program over there [in Polk County] and from what I’ve heard it has done a lot for their elderly residents.”

-- Johnny Carruth

beyond these expectations, he said the city might have to look into purchasing its own system.

Edgens said based on re-search he’s done, the cost of an automated call system would be about $7,500.

“If people really like it and it gets going, we’ll have to keep it going,” Edgens said.

Mayor Robert Briggs and other council enthusiastically gave their approval for Edgens to move forward with a pilot version of the program.

“Another thing it does is it builds a relationship between the police department and the citizens,” said Briggs.

Landrum residents inter-ested in participating in a pilot version of the program can call the Landrum Police Department at 864-457-7281. Anyone who wants to be added to the program in Polk County can call Pack at the Polk County Sheriff’s Office at 828-894-3001.

By the end of the month, Landrum Ingles Market shoppers can expect a refreshed experience with the addition of a Starbucks and a new seafood center, meanwhile Burger King has submitted renovation plans to the city.

Landrum City Administrator Steve Wolochowicz said he’s optimistic these changes are a strong indicator of the confidence these corporations have in the local market.

“We are seeing more economic

• Landrum(Continued From page 1)

development activity compared to the last couple of years and specifically these two items will not only benefit residents but also visitors,” Wolochowicz said. “If people c o m e i n t o s a m p l e t h e n e w g o o d s and se rv ices p r o v i d e d b y these businesses, then hopefully they’ll linger and come downtown.”

Construction started at the end of January on the Ingles’

Starbucks. Work on the location is expected to be complete in time for the store’s grand re-opening Feb. 28.

T h e n e w Starbucks will be located next to the f lo ra l d e p a r t m e n t ,

while the seafood will be located where seafood had been in the

past. One store manager said the offerings would be much like any other Starbucks location with coffee, pastries and sandwiches.

Burger King anticipates making improvements to its façade as well as inside the franchise. Wolochowicz said he thinks it says a lot about Burger King to further invest in the location’s appearance to the community.

“Things like that are typically contagious and as one business makes upgrades others consider doing similar things as well,” Wolochowicz said.

system to move $500,000 from the school’s fund balance for the capital improvements. No money was taken from the county’s budget for the repairs.

The repairs include the ten-nis courts and track, which are cracked and becoming danger-ous, adding onto the media cen-ter at Sunny View Elementary, repairing unit ventilators in classrooms at the high school, r e p a i r i n g drainage at the cour tyard a t Tryon Elemen-t a r y S c h o o l a n d v a r i o u s t e c h n o l o g y improvements.

Polk Coun-ty Schools Su-per in tendent B i l l M i l l e r a t tended the commiss ion-er’s meeting and said these are big capital items the school system postponed through the recession.

He said the big items are necessary because the high school is now 21 years old, even though most in the county still think of it as “the new high school.”

Miller said the school board created a committee, which asked every school their big-gest capital needs and the list was narrowed down to these items.

Miller also said the school system is taking advantage of

two positive things happening at Tryon Elementary and Sunny View. The Tryon Elementary PTO is replacing the courtyard through donations, including taking up the bricks and selling them for interested persons to engrave. The landscaping and benches will also be replaced to make the courtyard more “kid friendly,” Miller said. The school system is partnering with the PTO and will replace the drainage in the courtyard while the brick surface is up.

Miller said the cour tya rd i s aged and over the years roots have clogged the drainage a n d c a u s e d c l a s s r o o m s to flood dur-ing the heavy rains.

A t S u n n y View, an es-ta te donated

$38,000 to expand the media center. The school system is adding to those funds to expand the small media center. An addition will be added, which is estimated at approximately $100,000, Miller said. No ac-tual costs will be known until the individual projects are bid out. The school board plans to award bids during its March meeting.

All projects are scheduled to start as soon as school gets out for the summer and scheduled to be completed before the next school year begins.

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 tongue’s 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. Madagascar’s 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 lemur’s natural enemies. Some of the oldest dinosaur fossils in the world have been found on Madagascar.

A speCiAl thAnk You to All our sponsors!

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. Today’s dollars, like most currencies, are called “fiat money” which means they are backed by people’s 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.Circle the words hidden in the puzzle below.

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

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 Institution’s 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.

there is a fact all of us must eventually face and none can ever escape.

We will all die one day. no matter what kind of euphemism we attach to that event – crossing over, passing away, going to be with the Lord – whatever seems less painful and acceptably po-lite, in the end all of our bodies will ultimately cease to function and we will all die.

depending on one’s faith tradition and system of belief the essence of what is truly “us,” our soul or spirit, continues on in one manner or another. anecdotal accounts of “near death experi-ences” are many and scientific evidence of one sort or another (depending on who you choose to believe) attest to the fact that beyond religious faith there is evidence of life after death. in some religious traditions our spirits are thought to be recycled through reincarnation to ever higher, or lower, levels of spiri-

tual consciousness. in others, that which is essentially us simply melds back in the cosmic con-sciousness of the one. islam and Judaism share a common belief in an afterlife with Christianity with differing interpretations, but even in the Christian religion our many diverse views on what happens when our body ceases to function and our spirits go to God are often at radical odds with one another. all those things are issues of faith which one must address within one’s own tradition. nonetheless, we will all die.

however this column is not about what happens after we die, but how we choose to plan for what is inevitable. there are things we can do while we are well, in our right minds and physically able to be proactive in providing clear guidance to our friends and loved ones about our wishes should we become ill

or incapacitated, and for when we die.

first, every one of us should have a clearly defined advance directive for health care and someone designated to be our medical power of attorney should we not be able to speak for our-selves regarding the nature and degree of medically invasive care we are willing to receive. the forms for these directives are available online for north Caro-lina and South Carolina, through your attorney, or from a hospital or hospice social services of-fice. the person designated as one’s medical power of attorney should be someone who can be absolutely trusted to follow the advance directive for health care, whether that person is a family member or not.

Second, we should all have a designated person to be our du-rable power of attorney to act on our behalf to manage our affairs should we become incapacitated

in one way or another and unable to speak or act for ourselves. this provision becomes especially im-portant for persons who develop dementia, alzheimer’s, aLS, suffer a traumatic brain injury or some other severely debilitating condition. again, the person so designated must be absolutely trustworthy and be designated while we have our full capabili-ties. in this case advance direc-tives may also be given. this document should be drafted by an attorney and be dated and no-tarized with your signature. this, too, can be a family member or a trusted friend who is willing to accept the responsibility.

third, everyone should have a will that is current and revised occasionally as personal or fam-ily conditions change. there are forms available for wills online, but i advise that an at-torney draw up the document which describes exactly how one wishes to have their property and personal effects distributed upon their deaths. in the will an executor should be named who

Preparing for the inevitable • Death(continued from page 8)

(continued on page 9)

will oversee the terms of the will and legally close the estate. this person can again be someone who is well trusted or an attorney.

finally, for the sake of your family and friends, take time to plan your funeral or memorial service and make your wishes for that event very clear. it is one of the kindest and most loving things we can do for our surviv-ing family and friends. trying to second guess “what mama would like” can be a traumatic experience for a family in the midst of grief. all of our local funeral homes and most churches can provide resources and aid for funeral planning according to one’s wishes and in keeping with one’s faith tradition.

We never know what will happen from day to day, but we can be prepared for the inevitable and insure that what we want for the end of our lives is not left to chance.

The Smithsonian Institute Headquarters, Washington, D.C.

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 Institution’s 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.

there is a fact all of us must eventually face and none can ever escape.

We will all die one day. no matter what kind of euphemism we attach to that event – crossing over, passing away, going to be with the Lord – whatever seems less painful and acceptably po-lite, in the end all of our bodies will ultimately cease to function and we will all die.

Polk County High School se-nior Emily Miller signed a letter of intent Wednesday, Feb. 6 to play soccer for St. Andrews University in Laurinburg, N.C.

Emily said she chose St. An-drews because of its academics, while playing soccer there has come as an added bonus.

“They have a program there focusing on biology and equine sciences, which is what I’m hoping to study,” Emily said. “But I never thought I’d have the opportunity to play soccer in college, so getting to do that too is exciting.”

Emily’s family said they are delighted to see her get the chance to be involved in college athletics as well.

“She really had to battle last

year with her injuries,” said Em-ily’s father, Jeff, of her effort to re-gain health and strength following surgery for a torn ACL and a pulled thigh muscle the year before last.

“They [coaches Lennox Charles and Will Pack] pushed her when she needed them to and backed off when she needed to rest,” mother, Julie, said.

Coach Charles said unfortu-nately he can only imagine the difference Emily would have made on the team had she been healthy her entire high school career. He said freshman year, Emily was the best defender he had on junior varsity. He said had it not been for injuries her sophomore year ,he believes she would have had

an opportunity to shine early on varsity. When Emily did come off the bench and out of injury in her junior season, she made a real dif-ference, he said.

“It worked out well when she came off the bench last year,” Charles said. “In those instances

she definitely made a big impact. When we played Hendersonville for the second time in the season, she created three chances on goal for her teammates within the first 15 minutes.”

Charles said St. Andrews will get a confident athlete out of Emily. He said she is one especially, who is not selfish with the ball and is happy to create assists as much as she is to grab her own goals.

Sports

“Her skills on the ball con-stantly improve – her dribbling and shooting – which will allow her to rely more on speed at the college level,” he said.

Athletic director Jeff Wilson said St. Andrews must really have seen something special in Emily when she practiced with the team.

“It’s the second biggest schol-arship I’ve seen a female athlete from Polk County receive in my time here,” Wilson said.

He said as far as he remembers only softball player Jamie Hrobak has received a larger scholarship package.

Miller’s parents said they are proud that she has also received an academic scholarship from the university to help with college expenses.

Join the Congregational Church of Tryon for a new eve-ning worship service beginning Feb.10 in the church’s fellow-ship hall at 210 Melrose Ave.

We are planning an informal worship service to recharge, replenish and reconnect people for the up-coming week. Sec-ond Sunday is patterned after how the early church might have worshipped. Those who at-tend will gather to hear the word

of God, sing some new as well as old songs, celebrate our life in the body of Christ with the Lord’s Supper and then share a covered dish meal together. All are welcome.

This worship opportunity is offered on the Second Sunday of each month. Second Sunday is designed to be an experien-tial service; expect people of all ages, and a very informal atmosphere. The first service

will have the theme of creation. Organizers are asking for

any art work/photography/tex-tiles that express this theme to be part of the ambience of the service.

Contact Lance Smith or Bob Barrows if you have something to share. For more information, call 859-9414 or email [email protected].

Jim Wiprut, H.I.S.

I subscribe to a forestry pub-lication called the NCWoodlands Review.

The review is rarely more than four pages long, and it comes out only four times a year, so you have an idea of just how much information is gleaned from reading this paper. The primary purpose of the publication is to keep woodland owners up to date on current state forestry programs and research.

This past month’s edition contained a short article titled “How Forests Boost Immunity.” The essence of the article is that, in addition to lowering blood pressure, pulse rate and levels of the stress hor-mone cortisol, spending time in nature boosts our immune system too. A study done in Japan took men between the ages of 37 and 55 on a three-day outdoor excursion in the forest. Each day the men walked in the forest for two to four hours. Blood samples taken on day three showed that 92 percent of the men had a 50 percent increase in natural ‘killer’ cells, one of the main compo-nents of the immune system that plays a central role in fighting tumors and viruses. Further stud-ies have shown that these positive immune benefits can last up to a month after a visit to the woods.

Researchers believe that the increase in natural killer cells is in part a response to phytoncides, the essential oils in wood that help protect it from insects and rotting. In Japan, where the stud-ies were originally conducted, the practice of getting people out in the woods to promote health has become so popular that the gov-ernment there is creating official forest therapy sites, and compa-nies are adding forest therapy to their health plans.

Now, how’s that for an in-novative way to address our health care problems? We’ve

always known that colds and the flu come from being inside with other people, where germs are passed around by our breath and on our hands. Most of us can re-member our mothers telling us to “Go outside and play” both to get us out of her hair but also so that we could be in the fresh air. Dr. Spock recommended all children stay outside for at least two hours a day, a recommendation that I took so seriously that I parked baby Aaron outside for his nap every afternoon in his bassinet whenever it was not raining. On rainy days he slept on the screen porch. When it was cold, he slept

under a blanket wearing a cap. Regardless of the weather, he breathed fresh air

just as Dr. Spock recommended, and he was one very healthy little boy. In fact, it worked so well that we repeated the practice with the next two children.

We have a health care crisis in this country. Our country spends nearly double the amount per capita for health care than any other developed country in the world, yet ranks no better than 32nd in positive health results.

We have children who spend limitless hours inside with the electronic devices, but no time outside. Let’s take some positive responsibility for our health and get people outside, in the woods. It is much cheaper as a society to preserve forestland for public ac-cess and to build trails for young and old to use than it is to pay for hospital care.

We all know that what we do as children and young adults will affect our overall health for the rest of our lives, so let’s act accordingly. Go outside; walk in the woods; breathe. Imag-ine a country where more time and energy is spent on creating healthy lifestyles than on fixing the results of an unhealthy one. Just imagine….

‘Annie Get Your Gun’ auditions March 4

Wool being pulled over our eyesTo the editor:

I was quoted at the commis-sioners’ meeting as saying that there is no reason to rush, and I would like to clarify my position. I meant that there is no reason to rush this legislation through, because it affects our community in many ways and needs more discussion.

I did not mean there is no rush on the issue of trapping. Unfortu-nately, the bill seems to have been put on the “fast track.”

The commissioners voted on this issue without the input of the community, save for three people who are pro-trapping, and it looks as if the state representatives are rushing this as well. Why is that?

It is far more difficult to rescind legislation that it is to put a hold on it so than it can be thoroughly explored. Why are they in such a grand hurry? That makes me wonder who will benefit from this

Ambush governing keeps residents unawareTo the editor:

In the Dec. 28 issue of the Bul-letin, Renée McDermott exposed a woeful new method of govern-ing by our county commissioners in her letter to the editor, “Cutting off the sunshine.”

Here’s a quote from that letter:“During their very first meet-

ing, commissioners Gage, Ow-ens, Pack and Holbert changed

the Commissioners’ Rules of Pro-cedure to make it harder, some-times impossible, for the public and the lone minority commis-sioner to have notice of what will be considered at commissioners meetings. These devastating changes were not highlighted or listed in any way. The document had a 2011 date on it, making it look like no changes were made.”

Now, we’re starting to see the results of this kind of ambush governing, and it’s very disturb-ing. The commissioners recently voted to make animal trapping legal in Polk County after hear-ing from three people in favor

Letter to the Editor legislation. It certainly won’t be the animals.

Concerned citizens, please let our state representative Chris Whitmire and our state Senator Ralph Hise know how you feel about the issue of trapping, and ask why this bill is on the fast track.

It seems that someone is trying to pull the wool over our eyes, and I, for one, would like to know why. [email protected] 919-715-4466 and [email protected], 919-733-3460.

– Emmy Summers,Tryon

Letter to the Editor of the change and none opposed to it. That’s because no one who is opposed to it was informed that the issue was on the agenda. We learned about the ambush after the fact, which prompted many objections from the pub-lic, including a petition that has garnered 12,000 signatures in one week.

What other decisions are be-ing made without a fair and open discussion? How many signatures will it take before the commis-sioners listen to those they claim to represent?

Brink reaches 20-year mark at TFAC

Jimm Brink (center), long-time employee of Tryon Fine Arts Center, recently received acknowledgement from the board of directors for 20 years of service. Brink began his career at TFAC after moving to Polk County from his native New Jersey and has served in such capacities as custodian and interim executive director, in addition to his many years as facilities manager and technical director. Pictured with Brink are Beth Child, TFAC executive director and Timothy H. Brannon (right) president, TFAC board of directors.

Shucks! Polk County senior centers hosting fundraiserThe Meeting Place Senior Center

will host a Shucks “Pearls of Pur-pose” event on Friday, Feb. 8 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. to raise much needed funds for its programs benefitting the deserving senior residents of Polk County.

“We aim to raise $1,500 or more. Our mis-sion is to enhance the quality of life and to sup-port independent living for senior residents of Polk County. With a staff of eight and the help of 50 volunteers, we provide recreational and social activities, educational opportunities, and many other much needed services such as providing in-home and on site meals, Medicare counseling and informa-tion and referral services,” said Pam

Doty, Meeting Place director.Polk County Senior Centers is

partnering with Shucks Pearls from Yonderways for a Valentines themed event. The “Pearls for Purpose”

event will be host-ed at The Meeting Place, located at 75 Carmel Lane, Columbus. Par-ticipants can shop for genuine pearl jewelry with 25 cents of every $1 spent going di-rectly to the Polk Country Senior

Center programs. There will be on hand hundreds of pearl jewelry items ready to purchase for your sweetheart.

In addition, a spaghetti lunch will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for lunchtime shoppers who call The Meeting Place (894-0001) by 4

p.m. Feb. 7. A donation will get you lunch and a pair of pearl earrings – a special deal courtesy of Yonderways.

Most often folks regard genuine pearl jewelry as being very expen-sive and something worn solely for special occasions.

“These aren’t your mom’s stan-dard string of white pearls, although we do have AAA Graded pearl strands,” said Donna Lyerly, a part-ner of the Hendersonville based company. “Our pearls come in a myriad of shapes, colors, and quality. And we are very honored to share Shucks Pearls with supporters of the Polk County Senior Centers.”

Unable to attend this event? You can still purchase beautiful items online, receive free shipping and support the Polk County Senior Centers until Feb. 15 by going to www.yonderways.com and use the coupon code polk15.
