gram, the Eternity Dance Group from Asheville, N.C. will also perform.

The Eternity Dance Group is part of Ashevilles Urban Arts Institute. According to the Urban Arts Institutes web-site, the mission of the Urban Arts Institute is to enhance students lives through artis-tic expression, to build self-esteem, to improve academic and communication skills, to build community, and to reduce possible gang activity.

The Urban Arts Institute was established in 2007, went into hiatus for several years and was re-established in early September 2010. The institute now regularly serves nearly 300 young, often disadvantaged inner-city residents, aged 5-25 years. Services provided to the youth include classes in dance, studio sound engineering, hip hop workouts, Krump and piano.

We were very interested in having Eternity perform at our annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration because we wanted other young people to see that there are other alternatives than hanging out in the streets, said Dr. Joseph Fox, Thermal Belt Friendship Council president. We think that Polk County youth and young adults will really enjoy watching other young people express them-selves through dance.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoration is free to the public and is made possible with financial support from the Arthur M. & Frances H. Wil-helm Endowment Fund through the Polk County Community Foundation, as well as the friendship councils partnership with the Tryon Fine Arts Center.

For more information about this event or the Thermal Belt Friendship Council, contact Dr. Joseph Fox at 828-421-7580 or at [email protected].

THE PEG SUS GROUP

Council will hold a special meeting this Thursday, Jan. 12 at 10 a.m. at the fire department, with the agenda including a N.C. Rural Center grant, a closed ses-sion to discuss a personnel issue and the appointment of an interim finance officer.

Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples and councilmen Roy Miller and George Baker held a closed ses-sion emergency meeting Jan. 3 a n d l a t e r disclosed that Hembrees em-ployment had been terminat-ed. The town was able to hold an emergency mee t ing pe r state and town statutes with-out notifying the public because the Bulletin had not formally requested to be notified of emergency meetings.

According to N.C. state stat-ute 143 318.12, (3) For an emergency meeting, the public body shall cause notice of the meeting to be given to each local newspaper, local wire service, local radio station and local television station that has filed a written request, which includes the newspapers, wire services, or stations telephone number, for emergency notice with the clerk or secretary of the public body or with some other person designated by the public body. This notice shall be given either by e mail, by telephone, or by the same method used to notify the members of the public body and shall be given immediately after notice has been given to those members. This notice shall be given at the expense of the party notified. Only business connected with the emergency may be con-sidered at a meeting to which notice is given pursuant to this paragraph.

The Bulletin is currently draft-ing formal requests to be notified of emergency meetings in the future. That request will be sent

to all local governments.The Bulletin has learned,

meanwhile, that actions related to the termination of a manager must be considered in an open meeting, according to state statute.

N.C. General Statute 143 318.11 states, A public body may not consider the qualifica-tions, competence, performance, character, fitness, appointment or removal of a member of the public body or another body and may not consider or fill a vacancy among its own membership ex-

cept in an open meeting. Final action making an appointment or discharge or removal by a public body having final au-thority for the appointment or discharge or re-moval shall be

taken in an open meeting.The reason for the closed ses-

sion emergency meeting is still not known and Tryon officials cannot disclose any personnel is-sues per state law. Tryon officials did tell the Bulletin last week that Hembree did not do anything that would put the town in jeopardy, saying the town wanted to go in a new direction in terms of its manager.

The state statute says, For purposes of this section, an emergency meeting is one called because of generally unex-pected circumstances that require immediate consideration by the public body.

The N.C. Institute of Govern-ments Professor of Public Law and Government at the Univer-sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Frayda S. Bluestein said her advice on emergency meetings is that the issue to be discussed at such a meeting must be some-thing that cant wait 48 hours.

My advice is generally that it must be something that cant wait 48 hours, since thats the notice requirement for a special meet-ing, Bluestein said. If it could

wait that long, they should give notice of a special meeting rather than handling it as an emergency.

There is no immediate con-sequence if the notice is not pro-vided, or if the meeting was not appropriately held, but it could be challenged under the statute and one remedy available would be a court order invalidating any action that was taken.

The town violated its own code of procedures by not giving written notice regarding the meet-ing and not having the members who were not in attendance sign a waiver stating they would not be attending.

Tryons code of ordinances states, Emergency meetings of the town board may be called only because of generally unexpected circumstances that require imme-diate consideration by the board. Only business connected with the emergency may be considered at

an emergency meeting. One of the following two procedures must be followed to call an emergency meeting of the board.

(1) The mayor, the mayor pro tempore, or any two members of the board may at any time call an emergency board meeting by signing a written notice stating the time and place of the meeting and the subjects to be considered. The notice shall be delivered to the mayor and each board member or left at his or her usual dwelling place at least six hours before the meeting.

(2) An emergency meeting may be held at any time when the mayor and all members of the board are present and consent thereto, or when those not present have signed a written waiver of notice, but only in either case if the board complies with the notice provisions of the next paragraph.

Notice of an emergency meet-ing under (1) or (2) shall be given to each local newspaper, local wire service, local radio station and

local television station that has filed a written emergency meeting notice request, which includes the newspapers, wire services, or stations telephone number, with the town clerk. This notice shall be given either by telephone or by the same method used to notify the mayor and the board members and shall be given at the expense of the party notified.

When asked for copies of the written notice and/or copies of the written waivers from councilmen Doug Arbogast and Wim Woody, who did not attend the meeting, town attorney Bailey Nager said none existed.

If council had taken a vote in open session last Tuesday, it would have been legal, according to Bluestein and Amanda Martin, a N.C. media law attorney with Stevens Martin Vaughn & Tadych of Raleigh.

Although the mayor can vote only in the event of a tie, his pres-ence constituted a quorum and two positive votes from Miller and

Baker would have been a major-ity. In North Carolina, if a board member abstains from voting and does not have a conflict of inter-est concerning the issue, the vote counts as a yes vote.

The general statutes define quorum of a city or town board as a majority of the actual mem-bership of the council plus the mayor, excluding vacant seats, said Martin. So, even though the mayor only votes to break a tie, his presence is sufficient to establish a quorum for the meeting. Once a quorum was established, the vote of two members would be suffi-cient to pass a motion to terminate the town manager.

Hembree had been manager of Tryon for approximately three years. He began as interim man-ager and was later appointed permanent town manager in 2009. Per Hembrees contract, which was scheduled for review during Tryons regular meeting next Tues-day, Jan. 17, Hembree received a five-month severance package.

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.
