Carrie Knox joins FENCE as new executive directorThe Foothills Equestrian Nature
Center (FENCE) of Tryon recently announced that Carrie F. Knox has joined the organization as executive director. This position is responsible for building FENCE’s visibility with equestrian and nature audiences, and will seek to grow the non-profit’s programs.
Knox will start Oct. 1 and joins a team of staff and volunteers dedicated to the mission of FENCE.
Knox, who has recently relo-cated from central Texas to western North Carolina, has an extensive background in non-profit conserva-tion management with Pines and Prairies Land Trust (PPLT) in the Austin, Texas area. Under her lead-ership, PPLT protected more than 2,000 acres of prime farmland, en-dangered species habitat and other special places the community loves.
Additionally, Knox is a lifelong equestrian.
”I feel like I have trained all my life for this wonderful opportunity
with FENCE,” Knox said. “I can apply all my skills to my work at FENCE and I am thrilled to be in such a cooperative and supportive community.”
“Mrs. Knox brings a lifetime of equine experience from 4-H to Horsemasters (adult Pony Club), a strong background in nature educa-tion and extensive land conservation experience to this position,” said John Boyle, president of the board of FENCE. “We are delighted to welcome Mrs. Knox to FENCE and look forward to working together.”
FENCE is a non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to providing facilities and focus for education, recreation and preservation in nature studies and equestrian activities with the aim of enhancing these endeavors to enrich the quality of life for the community.

accepted into the K9s program in record time, and he gradu-ated in record time, too, so this article is actually the conclu-sion of the expected series on Winston.
Winston’s story began with the help of Ambrose Mills, a veteran who served 27 years in the U.S. Army and Reserves, and who is a member of Ameri-can Legion Post 250 in Polk County. Ambrose and his wife, Jeanne, drove Winston to Flor-ida.
Winston will be helping John, a veteran of both Op-eration Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Free-dom (OEF), with multiple Purple Hearts and Bronze Stars, and a member of Special Operations with 15 years in the U.S. Marine Corps. John has post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and a traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Winston and John graduated from K9s for Warriors on Aug. 23 with a 100 percent grade on their final test. When members of the FHS Service Animal Project attended the graduation, held at American Legion Post 233 in Florida, they said they hardly recognized Winston, who had gone from a typical, af-fectionate, fun-loving labrador puppy, to a stately, proud and dedicated companion.
Once a dog has gone through initial training at K9s and is deemed “ready” for the final stage, their human partners ar-rive for the final three weeks of training together. The dogs and their warriors are together 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the final training, living and sleeping together in the house on the K9s for Warriors prop-erty. They train for numerous
hours every day in situations they will encounter once they go home, such as going to the VA hospital, going to court for medical evaluation boards and going to the grocery store.
Each dog wears a service dog vest, which can also hold water for both human and dog, a col-lapsible water bowl, a leash and other essential supplies.
But it’s not all work and no play. When the vests come off, the dogs go out of “work mode” and again get to be like any other dog, playing fetch, swimming or enjoying a roll and snort in the grass.
According to the K9s pro-gram, the ser-vices these an-imals provide are essential to helping certain veterans return to as normal a life as pos-sible. One of
the symptoms of John’s PTSD is that he has trouble feeling safe and gets up several times during the night to check all of the doors and windows to be sure all is secure. One of the things Winston will do for John is help him to get a good night’s sleep by sleeping in the doorway of his bedroom. Knowing Winston is on guard, John will rest easier, program officials said.
John also loses conscious-ness on occasion, a symptom of his TBI. Winston will also be there to provide assistance when such circumstances arise. With Winston by his side, John plans to finish getting his mas-ter’s degree.
K9s for Warriors said it makes every effort to make good matches between dogs and warriors, as it is critical that the bond between the two is there, because the dog truly is an extension of the warrior. The program is flexible enough

to allow for change, as it did in John’s (and Winston’s) case. John was originally matched with another dog, which had to drop out of the program (K9s finds homes for any dogs that drop out).
It was originally planned tha t Wins ton wou ld be matched with another warrior and would graduate at the end of September, but K9s said there was an undeniable bond between John and Winston, and Winston was always look-ing for him.
“This was a case where the dog chose the warrior,” said K9s Director of Canine Opera-tions Brett Simon.

from the county.Grace, of Asheville, orga-
nizes the Green Race, which takes place in the Green River Narrows for kayakers every November. He said there are few places in the world with the Green River’s kind of access.
“It’s truly a special area,” Grace said, and added that not a lot of people outside kayak-ing know about the Green Riv-er, “And I’d like them to know about it.”
The Green River Games is planned to be a three-day event beginning on Sept. 28, 2013. The Green River Narrows race will occur this year on Saturday, Nov. 3.
Events planned for the Green
River Games include a 5k run in the gorge, trail running, a kayak slalom, road and mountain bik-ing and stand-up paddling.
“Polk County has an area that can combine all those,” Grace said. “Along with putting this event on, you put Polk on the map as an outdoor destina-tion.”
Grace said people frequent-ly come from other areas, such as At-lanta, Hender-sonville, N.C. and Asheville, N.C., for out-door rec re -
ation. He said, “The bottom line is, there’s a better location here.”
Citizen comments included two from Saluda residents who expressed concern over park-ing and the county’s potential liability for sponsoring such an event.
Stewart Reid said all the people for the Green River Narrows Race are compacted to a very narrow area and are taking their lives in their own hands. He also said he feels as though if the county sponsors the event, for liability purposes, the county will have to cut down trees and install handrails and walkways. He also said the economic impact to Saluda will be “negligible if any at all.”
Gary Reid discussed the dangers of multiple cars travel-ing on narrow roads in Saluda during events.
“I know these guys come in there and have fun and enjoy what they’re doing,” Gary Reid said. “They don’t mean to do it but they put us out greatly. When you go to church you have to watch out not to get run over.”
Gary Reid also said he doesn’t think this is something the county needs to be paying for and the event needs to pay law enforcement officers to handle traffic.
Grace said police costs are included in his budget and he also has a parking plan that includes shuttling visitors to the gorge. He also said visitors to
• Green River(Continued from page 1)
“Along with putting this event on, you put Polk on the map as an outdoor destination.”

the event will be directed to stay at Polk County’s bed and break-fasts and to Polk businesses. The award ceremony will also occur in Saluda, and the runs will end in Saluda, he said. Grace also said the video and all marketing for the games will include Polk County’s brand.
ETDC’s Craig Hilton said the commission has researched the games and thinks the event is an opportunity to utilize the natural resources Polk County has.
Hilton said the games would provide an immediate impact on the county through lodg-ing and recognition of Polk’s resources.
“I don’t see a downside to this,” Hilton said.
“I know [these kayakers] come in there and have fun and enjoy what they’re doing. They don’t mean to do it but they put us out greatly. When you go to church you have to watch out not to get run over.”

Hendricks introduces energy drink for endurance athletesDr. Jeffrey P. Hendricks of
Biogenesis Medical Center in Landrum recently introduced an energy drink designed for triathletes and other endurance athetes.
Hendricks, himself a triath-lete, said he created the energy drink because he could not find suitable, nutritious beverages for serious athletes.
“Other drinks had bad taste and harmful ingredients. Those with good ingredients did not accomplish any goal com-pletely, whether it was immune function, energy, endurance, focus, cognitive function or memory,” Hendricks said.
According to Hendricks, his new energy drink, called Rize, contains only all-natural ingredients, no high fructose corn syrup, no artificial colors or flavors, no gluten or casein, no fat, no MSG, no aspartame, saccharin or artificial sweeten-
ers. Rize uses Trehalose, which
Hendricks described as a won-der-sugar that releases twice the energy of normal glucose, with no crash because it has virtually no effect on the insulin level.
The drink also includes green tea, a potent antioxidant and anticarcinogen, Hendricks said.
“Because the Rize formula-tion maximizes the body/mind function and connection, it is extremely well-suited for athletes that compete in sports where reaction times, focus and concentration is critical: martial arts, boxing, baseball, football, basketball, triathlons, cycling, running and automobile rac-ing,” Hendricks said.
For more information, visit rizeenergy.com, biogenesis-medicalcenter.com, find Rize on Facebook or contact Biogen-esis at 864-457-4141.
Open house tour set for Sept. 27 in downtown TryonAt a brainstorming session
at the Tryon depot in late July, the idea bubbled up of hosting a commercial open house in Try-on’s Central Business District, showcasing spaces for rent or sale. The vision was to promote the opportunities for growth in downtown Tryon and advertise to the surrounding area what Tryon has to offer businesses
locating here. A group of volunteers stepped
forward and offered their time, free of charge, to organize this event. Local business people with empty storefronts were contacted and the idea received endorsement. The committee decided to hold the open house tour on Thursday, Sept. 27 from 4-7 p.m.
The commercial open house committee is currently finalizing plans for the event. Property owners who are interested in par-ticipating should contact Happy McLeod at [email protected] or 828-283-1177. The names of prospective buy-ers/tenants identified during the event will be given to the owners.

Ag center Farrier Jam Sessions to host O’Grady Sept. 28On Friday, Sept. 28 at 6 p.m.
at the Mill Spring Agricultural Center, Dr. Stephen O’Grady will speak on “The Form and Function of the Equine Foot as It Relates to Clinical Farriery.”
O’Grady was a professional farrier for 10 years prior to obtaining his degree in veteri-
nary medicine. He learned the farrier trade through a formal apprenticeship under Hall of Fame farrier Joseph M. Pierce of West Chester, Pa. After gradu-ating from veterinary school, O’Grady did an internship in Capetown, South Africa and then a second internship with
Dr. Dan Flynn at Georgetown Equine Hospital in Charlottes-ville, Va.
He has since combined his skills as a veterinarian and as a farrier to better understand and treat hoof problems. He has published numerous articles in both the veterinary and farrier
literature and he has lectured extensively in both the United States and overseas. In 2003, he was inducted into the Inter-national Equine Veterinarians Hall of Fame.
This free event will be hosted

Polk County Big Sweep clean-up set for Saturday, Oct. 6
2011 Polk County Big Sweep volunteers. (photo submitted by Mark Byington)
Polk County will join the rest of the state to play its part in the N.C. Big Sweep on Saturday, Oct. 6. Dur-ing its 25-year history, more than 320,000 Big Sweep volunteers have retrieved almost 11 mil-lion pounds of debris – the visual equivalent of more than 26,000 football fields 5 feet deep in debris.
Organizers said these cleanups are im-portant, because litter can last hundreds of years in the environment (a plas-tic beverage bottle will last 450 years). Before litter decomposes, they said, it can hurt the economy because businesses may refuse to locate to an area they see as too trashy, and tourists won’t visit. Litter is a human health hazard when it contaminates the water
supply as it decomposes, they said. It’s also deadly to wildlife that eat or become entangled in litter, and once entangled, wild-life often attract other wildlife to the same hazard.
Polk County’s volunteer par-ticipation in 2011 included more than 35 volunteers who helped
clean 7 miles of waterways. This year, Polk County efforts will again include a section of the Green River and adjacent roadside, as well as portions of Lake Adger.
The cleanup will begin at 9 a.m. and last until noon. Vol-unteers will meet at the Fishtop
Access parking area on Green River Cove Road.
Volunteers can contact Polk County Coordinator Mark By-ington at 828-859-6874 or go to the Big Sweep website at www.ncbigsweep.org to learn more.

PAC’s first fall hike goes to Pisgah Sept. 21Join the Pacolet
Area Conservancy (PAC) on Friday, Sept . 21 for a 4-mile, moderate hike at Pisgah Na-tional Forest, the first hike of PAC’s Fall Hiking Series. PAC Land Pro-tection Specialist Pam Torlina will lead hikers on the Daniel Ridge Loop.
The trail begins by following the Davidson River for approximately half a mile, then leaves the river and follows Lan-ning Branch as hikers begin a moderate ascent for almost 1 mile. The reward for the ascent is beautiful views of Pilot Moun-tain. After descending, hikers will be lead to the base of a 90-foot waterfall.
If you are interested in at-tending the PAC hike at Pisgah National Forest, contact the PAC office to sign up by phone at 828-859-5060 or by email at [email protected].
Hikers should wear appro-priate clothing and footwear; bring a bag lunch and/or snack and plenty of water. Be sure to bring any personal medication you may require. Hikers should be prepared to return to the area by 3 p.m. at the latest. In case of inclement weather, please contact the PAC office by 8:15 a.m. on the day of the hike to see if the hike will take place.
Hikers will meet at the Co-
lumbus Bi-Lo at 8:30 a.m. to start the approximately one-hour drive to the trailhead, just past the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education and Fish Hatchery.
Visit www.pacolet.org or go to PAC’s Facebook page for infor-mation on upcoming hikes. The next hike is scheduled for Oct. 5 at the new Saluda Mountains Passage of the Palmetto Trail.
