storefronts and will also include participating businesses in a publication later this month. Jennings told council last month that the hope is for area senior buses to come to Landrum on Wednesdays for shopping. “This is a great group effort to bring shopping and buying local to a whole new level,” Jennings said. Jennings said the LABA came up with the idea for senior Wednesdays to show its appreciation to the area’s senior population.

lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach and back. These symptoms can last a few days or several weeks. Serious symptoms occur in a few people which include some of the above listed symptoms plus high fever, stiff neck, stupor, disorientation, coma, tremors, seizures, muscle weakness, vision loss, numbness and paralysis. People usually develop symptoms between three and 14 days past a mosquito bite. If you develop symptoms that are severe seek medical attention immediately. Pregnant women and children should seek medical attention if they develop symptoms of WNV. People at higher risk of developing serious symptoms of WNV are those over age 50 years. People who spend increased time outside are also more at risk. WNV is spread by bites from infected mosquitoes. These mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds. Once
the mosquito becomes infected it can spread the disease to humans and/or animals. West Nile Virus is not spread from casual contacts from human to human. The best ways for avoiding WNV are those for preventing mosquito bites. When outdoors use insect repellent containing EPA registered active ingredients to exposed skin areas by following directions on the package. Reduce time spent outdoors in early morning and early evening hours, wearing long pants and long sleeves. Be sure windows and doors are covered by screens. Get rid of mosquito breeding grounds by emptying standing water from flower posts, buckets, barrels or old tires. Change the water in pet dishes and change water in bird baths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings to allow water to drain out. Keep children’s wading pools empty and on their sides when not in use. - article submitted by Helen White

Summer and Scarlet Tanagers Those other “red birds” here
National Assisted Living Week • Sept 9 – 15, 2012
Most of us are familiar with the “red-bird” - the local name for the Northern Cardinal, but cardinals are not the only red birds here in western North Carolina. We have two additional species that may be confused with the far more widespread and abundant cardinal. These are the summer and scarlet tanagers. Both of these species are neotropical migrants that spend the winter in Central or South America and the breeding season here with us in the Carolinas; both arriving in our area around the second week of April. Aside from being predominantly red in coloration, there is not a great deal of similarity between the male cardinal and the two tanagers. We should all be familiar with most, if not all, of the cardinal’s field marks. The males are medium sized songbirds with uniformly red plumage, a large pink-orange bill adapted for cracking seeds, a black face and, of course, a crest that can be raised or lowered – depending on the bird’s mood. They are found in a range of by Simon habitats from Thompson lowland to the highlands; from coastal scrub to mountain thickets – a true sign of a very adaptable species. Both of our tanagers are a little smaller than the cardinal and do not show any crest at all. Let’s start with the more common of the two species, especially here in the mountains of Western North Carolina. This is the scarlet tanager – truly a bird of the South American rainforests where it joins dozens of resident tanager species to spend the northern winter. It is a fairly common bird in the rich deciduous forest that covers the mountains and can be easy to see in the low to mid elevations along the Blue Ridge Escarpment. The males are blood-red in coloration, set off with jet black wings and tail. The bill is

yellowish and not anywhere near as massive as that of the Cardinal. The female scarlet tanager mirrors her mate’s plumage, except that her colors are a muted green instead of flame red. What is interesting is that after the breeding season, the male molts his beautiful red feathers and becomes green like the female. He, however, retains his dark wings and tail. The summer tanager is an uncommon migrant through western North Carolina, although it is a fairly common species in the foothills and coastal plain. This species prefers mixed deciduous and pine woodlands and can also occur in pine plantations. The summer is quite different to the scarlet with the male having a larger and paler bill, deep rose-red body feathers and no dark wings or tail. The female is again unicolored and can range from yellow-green to golden brown - quite different to the female of the scarlet tanager. Also, once the male acquires his breeding colors, he does not molt them into a winter plumage. Another major difference be(Continued on page 9)

ID not required to vote To the editor: With the extremely important presidential election being held in November, I must raise an alarm about Polk County’s voter list.

tween the tanagers and the Cardinal is their vocalizations. Cardinals sing a rich, loud rolling song with strong phrases and clear notes, while the scarlet tanager’s song is a burry, harsh scratching warble – reminiscent of the song of the American robin, although without the sweetness. The song of the summer tanager is richer and clearer than that of the scarlet tanager and more robin-like in its quality. The call-notes of all three species are quite different. The best way to find either the scarlet or summer tanager is to
prices along with spikes in gasoline and utilities. They struggle to keep prices competitive while working longer hours to minimize shrinking profits. They create many jobs but times like these make it harder to hang on to necessary staff. I have an idea though, why don’t we just raise their taxes, we’ve seen how well that worked for the rest of our country. - Leonard Rizzo, Tryon How many dead people are voting in Polk County? This is what happens when voter ID is not required. Every illegal vote is an assault on our election process and affects everyone in this county - and this year everyone in the country, as this is known to happen in every state. In North Carolina an ID is required to get a library card, but none is required in order to vote? For those who object to a voter ID requirement, remember, it is your vote that is stolen when the election process is corrupted. - Vera Drehman, Tryon done. Which is exactly what I did! I had new shingles put on our mobile home in March, and the home has leaked ever since! The roofer has come back four times and “repaired” the home, but the roof is still leaking! Will I ever learn? - S. Henderson, Tryon thoroughly familiarize yourself with all of their songs by listening to tapes or CD’s and then head out into the woods to see who you can find. This is always a challenge, but once accomplished, you will be surprised at how many tanagers are here in our woodlands. Simon Thompson has lived in WNC for the past 20 years.

Fred’s Super Dollar to donate Sept. 11 profits to first responders Outgrowth of “Hero Hats” tradition To honor the fallen heroes of 9/11, Fred’s Super Dollar will donate all operating profits from store sales on Tuesday, Sept. 11, to designated first responder units in communities where its stores are located. The donation plan is an outgrowth of Fred’s “Hero Hats” tradition that began in 2002. The “Hero Hats” effort, which is currently taking place, gives shoppers the opportunity to purchase paper cut-outs of hats for $1 to sign and hang in the window of their local Fred’s Super Dollar, giving visible support to their area’s emergency teams. “We have teamed with our shoppers on “Hero Hats” to help raise money for first re-
sponders and on Sept. 11 we’ll take it a step further with the donation of the day’s operating profits,” said Ursula Roman, marketing director for Fred’s Super Dollar. “Fred’s wants to do all it can for a group of men and women who mean so much to our country.” Since “Hero Hats” began, Fred’s Super Dollar has raised more than $2 million dollars for local fire, police and sheriff departments.

ington, D.C. and Pennsylvania seems like the appropriate time to make this gesture of support and appreciation.” Shoppers can join Fred’s Super Dollar in commemorating 9/11 by visiting their local store on Tuesday, Sept. 11. “We are confident our customers will help us continue to show our gratitude by supporting both of these programs,” Roman said. “We hope the emergency teams find it inspiring to see the ‘Hero Hats’ hanging in the

FENCE family concert series features Tom Fisch Sept. 16 FENCE in Tryon will continue its family concert series Sept. 16 at 4 p.m. featuring artist Tom Fisch. This is a free event and refreshments will be served. Tom Fisch grew up in Albany, N.Y., and won his first guitar in a raffle at a school bazaar when he was ten years old and went on to entertain audiences for many years throughout the Northeast. In 1991, Fisch moved to Nashville, Tenn. to further his songwriting career. He formed his own publishing company and his songs have been recorded by a number of artists, including the Oak Ridge
Boys and Swiss country singer Erica Arnold. Fisch continues to pitch his songs to other artists but his main focus now lies in his own career as a performer. In 2004, Fisch relocated to western North Carolina and it’s acoustic music scene. For more information about Fisch, visit www.tomfisch.com. FENCE is located at 3381 Hunting Country Rd. in Tryon. This free family concert series is made possible by the Kirby Foundation at Polk County Community Foundation. - article submitted by Tracie Hanson

The Polk County Community Foundation funded two interns, Dylan Turner and Jacob Collins, this past summer to work at the Polk County High School Farm. Both students are active in the Agricultural Education Program at Polk County High School. The students were responsible for caring and feeding animals, maintaining the muscadine vineyard, blueberries, pumpkins and the grounds at the school farm. The students, assisted with the construction of the new Animal Science Barn, which was funded by the Polk County Community Foundation Culberson Grant. Chauncey Barber, Agriculture Instructor, states, “It seems like when we have an idea or need citizens, organizations in our community such as the foundation help make things happen.� Pictured left to right are Dylan Turner, senior, and Jacob Collins, junior.
