The Foothills Music Club (FMC) will present its annual organ concert, Musical Mo-ments on the Organ, on Thurs-day, March 8 at 3 p.m. in the sanctuary of the Congregational Church on Melrose Avenue in Tryon.

This is FMCs second public recital of the year.

Organists performing this year will be:

FMC members Carole Bar-tol, John Gardner and Eleanor Roemer

Lesley Bush, the minister of music at Tryon Presbyterian Church

Susan Mahnke, the organ-ist/choir director for Holy Cross Episcopal Church

Diane Pickens, the director of music/organist for the Con-gregational Church.

The pipe organ in the Con-gregational Church is a new console that was installed last year. The choir area was also changed and many of the organ pipes were repositioned for bet-

ter sound.The special organ program

will include a variety of mu-sical moments from favorite composers such as J. S. Bach, Johannes Brahms and Charles Gounod. There will also be selections from a few French composers, such as DAquin, Gigout and Boellmann.

In addition to the solos, the organ will be used to accom-pany a choral ensemble of club members and friends singing The Lord Bless You and Keep You by John Rutter.

Since its formation in 1988, the FMC has maintained a high level of musical excellence while encouraging its members to practice their skills through performances.

In addition, the FMC pro-vides scholarships to deserving young musicians in the area to help with their music studies. Auditions for these awards will be held on March 2 and 3 in the Tryon Presbyterian Church. Applications are available by calling 828-894-6493.

Getting set up in Raleigh, meeting constituents in districtIts my honor to represent

you again in the North Carolina House. My arrival at the General Assembly was a homecoming as former colleagues welcomed me and made me feel Id never been away. House Principal Clerk Denise Weeks told me that our district committee appointed me in the shortest time ever for a replacement representative. Our district set a record - 17 days. It usually takes 3-4 months and this gives the General Assem-bly staff time to get everything set up.

This accounts for some of the issues Im dealing with: like shuffling office space, get-ting telephones and computers properly connected and waiting for a permanent office address to order business cards and statio-nery. Even last Thursday when I printed from my state laptop

to my office printer, my letter printed in some unknown place. Please be patient as I continue to work through a backlog of hundreds of phone calls, emails and letters. As Denise told me, the General Assembly has never needed to set up an interim rep-resentative this quickly. There are still some problems to overcome.

Thats not prevented me from getting right to work on important issues. Im serving on several interim committees while the General Assembly is not in session. Last Wednesday I met with the Select Committee on Methamphetamine Abuse. We are charged with updating 2005 legislation that I happen to have worked on then. I was

particularly interested because there was a meth lab bust in Bre-vard the week before this meet-ing. Constituents had contacted me with concerns. We heard from law enforcement, pharma-cists, national meth programs, and more. I was especially

interested in a presentation by highly trained specialists who clean up meth labs and in the danger of re-

sidual contamination. I plan to meet with local law

enforcement on meth issues before the next meeting in mid-March. Ill also talk with local pharmacists and others inter-ested in helping to resolve this dangerous problem. If you have thoughts on this please email me at [email protected]

On a happier note, I was delighted to learn that there was a successful use of our Amber Alert Program in Asheville recently. Amber Alert helps locate missing children who are in danger. I sponsored our states Amber Alert bill after a young girl kidnapped in Florida was taken on I-95 through South Carolina and North Carolina, and then murdered in Virginia. My bill almost did not pass because the Highway Depart-ment did not have money for the digital signs. We distributed a news article about Amber Alert and the need for sign funds.

Within a short time a company from Winston-Salem arrived in Raleigh with a big check for the first sign. The rest is history. We now have digital signs on all interstate highways. They are used to display Amber Alerts, Silver Alerts, hazard warnings and even the number of minutes to certain intersections.

This week youll find me in the district. Ill be meeting with constituents, attending various meetings and events in Tran-sylvania, Henderson and Polk counties. Saturday I was in Polk County where I met with elected officials and many interested cit-izens. I also attended the opening of a new Republican headquar-ters. Also I plan to spend time each day in my home office catching up on calls, emails, and letters. Dont hesitate to contact me with any concerns you have regarding state government. As many of you know my husband, Ken, works in our Raleigh office and in the district. Ken handles many of your concerns or he points you in the right direction. Hes the only retired engineer in the General Assembly and he especially enjoys working with highway projects or issues.

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.
