Reopening Jan. 2by Leah Justice
The next time area resi-dents see a flick at the his-toric Tryon Movie Theatre they will see it in digital.
Tryon Theatre owner Barry Flood recently instal led a Christie digital projector with updated sound and updated p r o j e c -t ions . Af-ter a holi-day break, Flood will reopen the t h e a t r e W e d n e s -d a y, J a n . 2 with the a n i m a t e d film Wreck-it-Ralph.
“Needless to say i t was a major investment,” Flood said. “It was a long-term in-vestment in Tryon. This will ensure there will be a movie theatre in Tryon for decades.
Flood said his sources told him that in two to three years 35 mm film releases would be discontinued and everything would be digital so he was either faced with upgrading or getting out of the business.
Flood has owned the the-
atre for almost 23 years. One of the theatre’s staples is that Flood serves beer and wine in the theatre with both served i n t h e b a l c o n y a n d w i n e also offered downstairs. The theatre also serves gourmet coffee.
Flood said going digital will hopefully mean he can
g e t m o v -i e s m o r e quickly. He said he was able to ob-tain 35 mm f i l m s b e -t w e e n s i x a n d e i g h t w e e k s a f -t e r t h e i r
release but hopes he can get digital releases sooner.
The Tryon Theatre wil l not offer 3D movies after the digital change.
Also beginning next week ticket prices will increase 25 percent across the board on admission and food prices. Admission will now increase from $6 per person for eve-ning shows to $7.50 and from $5 to $6 for Sunday matinees. Small food items, including

Joel Burrell said on Dec. 18 that his crew had worked 13 days since Nov. 13 and half the town had been completed, or 10 miles of roads. He said the crew has worked eight hours per day on leaves with Tryon staff saying it takes five employees to run the new machine, purchased this fiscal year.
Miller said the leaves are on the street and they are go-ing to cause a safety issue. On Markham Street, he said there are leaves piled 7 feet. high and it’s become an eyesore.
“We’re not talking about an astronomical amount of money,” Miller said. “I think the leaves and cleaning up our town we just have to do it.”
Miller also mentioned how leaf pick up has always been an issue in Tryon with residents like Howard Greene coming

to meetings and talking about leaves for years.
“My leaves haven’t been picked up yet,” Miller said. “I like for my yard to look good and for people not to have to drive in the middle of the street.”
Tryon Mayor Alan Peoples disagreed and said there are too many other things the town needs to spend money on.
“Your street isn’t a main road, Alan,” Miller responded. “Your street is a dead end. On Markham, there’s kids on that street.”
Miller said there are leaves piled on both sides of Markham, which is narrow to begin with and the kids are walking in the street.
“We need to get the leaves up,” Miller added.
Council approved giving town manager Caitlin Martin $2,000 to get the leaf pick-up complete but also briefly dis-cussed if the town should con-tract out the service next year as it has done in the past.

drinks, popcorn and candy will increase from $2 each to $2.50 and from $3 for large food i tems to $3.75. Beer and wine prices will stay the same, he said.
Flood said he has no choice on increasing the prices due to the costs of food and bev-erages increasing so much over the past several years. The price of popcorn, for example, has increased 75 percent since 2005, he said.
Located at 45 South Trade Street the Tryon Theatre is open Wednesday through Sat-
urday showing one movie per week beginning at 8 p.m. as well as a Sunday matinee at 3 p.m. Every second and fourth Monday and Tuesday the the-atre shows art specialty films, including foreign films and documentaries in association with the Tryon Film Society. The film society shows begin at 7 p.m.
The Tryon Theatre was first opened in 1933 by C.W. Nessmith with the addition of the balcony later.

The Rotary Club of Tr yon recently inducted Bob Weiner as a Paul Harris Fellow. The award is named in honor of Paul Harris who, along with three business associates, started Rotary International in Chicago in 1905. It is Rotary’s way of expressing its appreciation for a substantial contribution to its humanitarian and educational programs. Shown are Bob Weiner and Art Brown during the induction ceremony.

Bob Weiner named Paul Harris Fellow
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship will meet at the Tryon Youth Center on Rt. 176N at 10:30 a.m. on Jan. 13. Reverend Jean Rowe will speak on the topic, “Reflections on maturity, aging and soul-work.”
Richard Rohr, in Falling Up-ward, says he hopes and believes that “a kind of second simplicity is
the very goal of mature adulthood and mature religion.” He also calls it a “second naivete.”
Maybe that is what is meant by the biblical phrase “the scales fell from his eyes” — a reference to the conversion of Saul/Paul be-ing able to see with new eyes. I think that maturity means losing the illusions, defenses, pretenses,
projections and external belief systems we accumulated during the first half of life.
T. S. Eliot put it this way: “We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”
Well, that is also known as soul-
work: uncovering your deepest, truest Self, the Really, Really Me.
Fell free to come early to par-ticipate in setting up the service as well as to join in fellowship and refreshments. For information call 828-894-5776 or visit uutryonnc.org.

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.

Did you know that dogs use their
tongues to sweat? Dogs do not have sweat glands like
humans, so they use their tongues and the pads of their feet to
release heat.

to it? Be aware!

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.

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 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 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.

This is the holiday sea-son. Christmas is over. The “New Year” is right around the corner. In col-lege football the regular season is over, and the bowl season has already begun. Tax season begins sooner than any of us would like.
Some seasons in life are more difficult than others. The tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut has forever changed the season for all involved. This year hurricane sea-son is over, but will be remembered for decades because of the tragedy of Sandy. In the world the painful after effects of the Arab Spring con-
tinue, and daily the news bombards us with reports of disease and suffering. Winter has arrived and the flu season is already upon us.
Recently I was talking with one of our members recovering from an ill-ness. He likened his long process of recovery to a sports season, with its routine of practices, and games, and days where he felt like a winner, and other days where he felt more like a loser. Every family and every relation-ship also goes through its seasons, times of incred-ible pride and joy, and times when life seems
almost too painful to bear. Even here in Tryon, for some the holiday season is a joy; for others it is one of the most difficult times of the year.
Life has many seasons. In one of the more fa-
mous verses in the Bible the writer of Ecclesiastes asserts: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven” (Ecclesi-astes 3:1). Faith tells us that every season of life has meaning, and that hope transcends even the grave, but sometimes meaning is scarce, and pain all too real. For many in today’s world
hope is in short supply. The New Year looks
toward the future, and for people of faith, God’s fu-ture. That future is some-thing no person can ever fully know, so we hope. By its nature the future is always yet to come, so we wait. Waiting can be hard. And recognizing God’s help when it does come is not always clear. Christmas and the birth of Jesus is a reminder that even the smallest events of life can have unexpected meaning, just as Easter reminds us that even the greatest tragedy is also gathered up into the loving arms of a God who knows us far better than we can ever know
• Season(continued from page 8)
(continued on page 9)
ourselves, and loves us more than we can ever imagine.
Each of our lives is like a work of art, created one day at a time. And every day is important. Howard Thurman, a prominent African American author, preacher, educator and civil rights leader once wrote:
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”

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.

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.

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.

This is the holiday sea-son. Christmas is over. The “New Year” is right around the corner. In col-lege football the regular season is over, and the bowl season has already begun. Tax season begins sooner than any of us would like.
Some seasons in life are more difficult than others. The tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut has forever changed the season for all involved. This year hurricane sea-son is over, but will be remembered for decades because of the tragedy of Sandy. In the world the painful after effects of the Arab Spring con-
tinue, and daily the news bombards us with reports of disease and suffering. Winter has arrived and the flu season is already upon us.
Recently I was talking with one of our members recovering from an ill-ness. He likened his long process of recovery to a sports season, with its routine of practices, and games, and days where he felt like a winner, and other days where he felt more like a loser. Every family and every relation-ship also goes through its seasons, times of incred-ible pride and joy, and times when life seems
almost too painful to bear. Even here in Tryon, for some the holiday season is a joy; for others it is one of the most difficult times of the year.
Life has many seasons. In one of the more fa-
mous verses in the Bible the writer of Ecclesiastes asserts: “For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven” (Ecclesi-astes 3:1). Faith tells us that every season of life has meaning, and that hope transcends even the grave, but sometimes meaning is scarce, and pain all too real. For many in today’s world
hope is in short supply. The New Year looks
toward the future, and for people of faith, God’s fu-ture. That future is some-thing no person can ever fully know, so we hope. By its nature the future is always yet to come, so we wait. Waiting can be hard. And recognizing God’s help when it does come is not always clear. Christmas and the birth of Jesus is a reminder that even the smallest events of life can have unexpected meaning, just as Easter reminds us that even the greatest tragedy is also gathered up into the loving arms of a God who knows us far better than we can ever know
• Season(continued from page 8)

ourselves, and loves us more than we can ever imagine.
Each of our lives is like a work of art, created one day at a time. And every day is important. Howard Thurman, a prominent African American author, preacher, educator and civil rights leader once wrote:
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
What is stirring in you this season?

You are sitting South and after open-ing the bidding with 1 Heart, the oppo-nents just disregard your bid and march into 3NT. Obviously you lead the Queen of Hearts, with partner following suit with a discouraging deuce and declarer winning with Ace. Declarer then leads a Diamond and you have to win with your singleton Ace. Now what do you do? If you continue with leading another Heart to knock out the King you have just labled yourself as a “card pusher,” i.e. a non-thinking player, and given the opponents a free path to making their contract.
As a declarer you have been taught to count your winners and losers. Has any-one every told you, as defender, to count the opposing sides potential winners and losers? If the answer is no then you need to find a better teacher or mentor. As a de-fender you should review what has taken place after each trick has been played.

Let’s review what we know in this hand. After trick one, based on partner’s play of the deuce, you know declarer holds both the Ace and King of Hearts. And after seeing dummy’s Diamond hold-ing and having your Ace dislodged you can count declarer taking 5 Diamonds, 2 Hearts and at least 2 Spade winners for a total of nine tricks. So you should ask yourself, what’s to be gained by continuing Hearts? The answer should be self-explanatory; nothing!
So what should you do? Look else-where for a possible killing defensive solution and that usually lies in the re-maining suit to be played, Clubs. So after winning with the Diamond Ace , if South switches to the deuce of Clubs, based on the lie of the cards, the defense is able to get 4 Clubs to defeat the contract.
Bridge can be so rewarding, if you just take the time to think instead of playing like a “card pusher?”

Registration is currently underway for the winter ses-sions of Kindermusik for young children taught by Bryant Belin and oil painting for teens taught by artist Margaret Curtis.
Classes will begin Saturday, Jan. 12 and go through March 9.
The oil painting class for middle and high school students is the second in a series of three planned sessions over the course of this academic year, which explores the fundamen-tals of oil painting, beginning with color theory and color mix-ing from the primaries. Curtis will help students focus on the difference between color and value, and how to use value to create a sense of volume. They will also explore the principles of composition, working from still life and the figure. Basic supplies needed for the course are covered with the tuition price.
Kindermusik Educator Bry-ant Belin will lead families with children ages newborn to 7 in a curriculum called “Our Kind of Day.”
The Kindermusik curriculum is designed to apply musical and developmental learning in a multi-age, multi-child, family environment. Besides the weekly classroom experi-ence, each family will receive a take-home kit which features two children’s books, two in-struments, two CDs of songs and activities from class, one family activity book, as well as two puppets that are featured characters in the class.
TFAC’s Kindermusik pro-grams are made possible by grants from local civic organi-zations. Kits for the Saturday family Kindermusik programs at Tryon Fine Arts Center are sponsored by the Rotary Club of Tryon Foundation. Kiwan-is Club of Tryon has given substantial funding towards a new outreach program, which
provides instruction in Kin-dermusik for all Polk County pre-school students.
Tryon Fine Arts Center, located on Melrose Avenue in the town of Tryon, has been a center for participation in the visual and performing arts for
more than 43 years attracting a diverse range of audiences.
For information or to register for classes at TFAC, call 828-859-8322 ext. 213 or visit www.tryonarts.org.
