POLK COUNTY April 4, 2002 9:21 a.m. History: Polk County was formed in 1847 from parts of Rutherford and Henderson counties and named in honor of Col. William Polk of American Revolutionary War fame. The county seat, Columbus, was established in 1855. The town of Saluda was incorporated by the General Assembly in 1881, followed by the incorporation of Tryon and Mill Spring in 1885. Polk County, in southwestern North Carolina, encompasses 237.6 square miles and is bordered on the south by the state of South Carolina, to the east and north by Rutherford County, and to the west by Henderson County. The county is known for its mild climate due to the "Thermal Belt,'' in which warm air settles and moderates the year-round temperatures. The town of Tryon is known as a premiere retirement area, drawing transplanted residents who are chiefly writers, artists, educators, professional people and industry executives. The area also is headquarters for many equestrian pursuits, with hundreds of miles of marked riding trails.

Marine believes this concession is the depository of large amounts of placer gold weathered from the mineral rich structures of Ghana, one of the world's most significant gold producers. Work to date has indicated that powerful marine currents and a favorable submarine topography have combined in concentrating not only gold, but other valuable minerals and also aggregates in the shallow waters of this continental shelf. J. C. Duff is providing funding, expertise and hands-on assistance with the aim of establishing Ghana's first coastal marine sand and gravel operation. An emphasis on environmental stewardship, community based development and the use of new technology should help bring this exciting project to success. Due to the enormous scope of this project, J. C. Duff is seeking investment and expertise from like-minded people in the aggregate and construction industries.

Brief History of the Living Standards Measurement Study The following text is taken from: A Guide to Living Standards Surveys and Their Data Sets. LSMS Working Paper #120, The World Bank, 1995 (updated on March 1, 1996). (To download the complete document, see instructions. The Living Standards Measurement Study was established by the World Bank in 1980 to explore ways of improving the type and quality of household data collected by government statistical offices in developing countries. The objectives of the LSMS were to develop new methods for monitoring progress in raising levels of living, to identify the consequences for households of current and proposed government policies, and to improve communications between survey statisticians, analysts, and policymakers. As of 1997, surveys with several, if not all, of the hallmarks of the Living Standards Measurement Study had been conducted in about two dozen countries. Although the first few LSMS surveys followed a very similar format, as time passed and countries with different circumstances were added, substantial variety arose in the surveys across the different countries. This section presents a brief history of the LSMS. In doing so, some explanations for the different outcomes in the different countries are given. The first two LSMS surveys were fielded in Côte d'Ivoire in 1985 and in Peru in 1985-86. In both cases financing was obtained from the World Bank's Research Committee and the main actor in implementing these surveys was the Living Standards Unit (now DECRG). The purpose of these surveys was to gather data that would allow the detailed study of household behavior and several aspects of living standards and to see whether such a complex survey design could in fact be successfully carried out in a developing country. On the whole, the Côte d'Ivoire and Peru surveys were successfully implemented. The data were gathered according to plan and were used immediately (and still are being used) for a wide variety of research projects and, less quickly and to a lesser extent, in support of the policy dialogue between the countries and the World Bank.

They remain in the office of an individual (at NCCE) who recognizes their importance, and who seeks archiving assistance. Some of the papers are disintegrating while Some have disappeared. Archiving these documents at this time is important for the preservation of history which speaks to state and society transitions at this juncture in history. This is not only important for Ghana, but also for other African countries and other communities in transition as well. The NCCE has given its approval for the documents to be preserved.

Organization - Who We Are, What We Do Purpose Accomplishments Board of Directors • Purpose "Around the world, wherever human rights are violated, women and girls suffer the most." - Margaret A. Schuler, President, WLDI In both industrialized and developing countries, women are more likely than men to live in poverty, endure low status within the family, be refugees, migrate in search of work, suffer from poor health and nutrition and be solely responsible for the maintenance and care of children. Even worse, women and girls are increasingly victims of state-sponsored or condoned violence and repression. Female infanticide, honor killings, acid attacks, female genital mutilation, widow abuse, sexual slavery and child marriage are still practiced in too many parts of the world. And mass rape has become a common terror tactic in ethnic cleansing campaigns. In many nations, the legal systems perpetuate sex bias. Often laws and customs openly discriminate against women. Women are routinely denied their most basic economic, social, cultural, civil and political rights. Unfortunately, women who are the subject of violence and discrimination often have no idea what rights they have, or they don't know any effective methods to enforce those rights. In short, they lack the knowledge or the skills to advocate for themselves.
