Only 50 cents

Gala pushes Save Morris fundraising over $12,000 by Samantha Hurst

The Save Morris project committee surpassed its initial goal of $12,000 toward the restoration of Tryon’s town mascot Morris the Horse during a gala and auction held Saturday, July 28 at the Tryon Fine Arts Center. “We are just so excited. Can you believe this? Just six weeks of hard work and we’ve reached our initial goal,” said committee chair Patti D’Arbanville. “It’s been great to see people really get behind such an important project.” Prior to the gala event, the committee had raised about $7,300 toward the rehabilitation of Morris. Saturday evening an additional $5,320 was raised through the auction of items such as Joe Cooper’s copper and bronze replica of the Mor(Continued on page 4)

Landrum to rebid depot project by Samantha Hurst

Landrum City Council members will meet in a special called meeting at 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 31 to discuss the rebidding of the depot renovation project. Council originally awarded the renovation contract to Daniel Owens Contracting on July 10, but Landrum City Administrator Steve Wolochowicz said

an error was made in the submitted bid. “Unfortunately, Mr. Owens did not include several portions of the project that were supposed to be itemized within his total cost,” Wolochowicz said. Wolochowicz said this included features such as a pergola that is estimated to cost more than $80,000.

ris weather vane that sits atop Tryon’s clock tower, a Rich Nelson painting of the Tryon tomato fields, Save Morris posters signed by artist Betty Burdue and the Sleepy Hollow Morris rocking horse made by Mike Carruth. Catering for the event was donated by Chef Gayle and the Cheffettes of Asheville. Mayor Alan Peoples said he was more than pleased with response to the campaign. “I almost don’t even know the words to describe this… the people who put this together have worked so hard to make this happen,” Peoples said. “Two things are key – our horse is gone and that’s our brand. Now we’ll have Morris restored to his rightful place looking over the town just as he has been since the 1920s. I think that gives us a comfortable feeling and makes us feel at home in Tryon.” City councilman Doug Arbogast, who served as auctioneer July 28, said he was happy with the turnout and hoped people would continue to support the effort. Arbogast provided the following statement to the Bulletin after the Morris gala event Saturday night. The statement provided is a portion of a lon-

ger one posted to the Morris Tryon Facebook page over the weekend: “A one horse town... the save Morris fundraiser is just about that, raising money for restoring the town mascot, all of the money raised goes to that and if there is any excess, it will be in a fund for Morris maintenance. As a town official I am tired of the rumor mills grinding on about this, in the past there have been several attempts to fund a similar project... they amounted to nothing and Morris continued to deteriorate. Now in short order, something is happening....” Peoples said Morris is being completely rebuilt with a fiberglass body because so much deterioration was found when the former wooden version was opened up. Peoples said two holes were found in the mascot’s head, which were allowing water to get inside and rot the frame from the inside out. Handling restoration of Morris are Chip O’Brien and Johnny Hipp, both of Tryon. Peoples said the two were selected through an informal bid process earlier this year. D’Arbanville stressed that additional funds raised through the project would be used to maintain Morris on a regular basis. Committee members anticipate bringing Morris home in September, she said.

We’re here to deliver life’s greatest treasures. Erin Elmore of Mill Spring has always received great care when she’s been a patient at Rutherford Regional. All four of her children have been born here. “I’ve chosen to come back each time because I’ve been so pleased with my care,” Erin says. Her experiences have always been enhanced by what she calls the “little extras.” She especially praised the ability to have meals delivered at convenient times, and the photographs of her newborn also helped make her visit special. “They are absolutely beautiful pictures,” she says. “It’s something the staff doesn’t have to do, but it means so much to me.” Having an experienced nurse to answer her questions only a phone call away is another one of those extras. “It’s nice to be able to call Lucy (Calhoun, childbirth and women’s health coordinator) and say ‘Lucy, it’s Erin,’ and she knows exactly who you are.” The Birth Place at Rutherford Regional offers compassionate, personalized care before, during and after your baby is born.

McClure wins National Propane Gas Foundation Scholarship Michael McClure, son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael McClure of Tryon, has been selected to receive a $2,000 academic scholarship from the National Propane Gas Foundation for the 2012-2013 academic year. He is one of 71 recipients from more than 700 applicants selected to receive a National Propane Gas Foundation Scholarship this year. McClure will be a freshman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he plans to major in communications. While in high school,

McClure was a member of the marching band and active in several clubs; including the National Honor Society. National Propane Gas Foundation scholarships are for the benefit of children of employees of propane companies who are members of the National Propane Gas Association, the sponsor of the scholarship program. McClure’s father is an employee of Freeman Gas Company in Landrum. - article submitted by the National Propane Gas Foundation

the price and I think we can get more into the budget that we were hoping for,” he said. Wolochowicz said council would have the option of moving forward in three ways: re-advertise the entire project, ask all three contractors originally involved to rebid with requested changes or to eliminate Owens from the bidding and allow only Sossamon and Karaman to submit new bids. Wolochowicz said the council is going to consider a number of ways to reduce the overall cost of the project based on recommendations from architect John Walters. Walters said at the July 10 meeting that he was surprised by the overall bids that came in for the project. City officials said they had hoped to see the costs come in around the upper $300,000 range. Earlier in the year, council approved a bond issue in the amount of $300,000 for the project, to be paid over the course of seven years with hospitality tax funds. Wolochowicz said the city has additional monies in the hospitality tax fund to cover the remainder of the project but hopes that number will be limited.

(continued from page 1)

Owens originally provided what was believed to be the lowest bid at $415,667. Meanwhile, two other contractors, Larry Sossamon Construction of Gaffney and Karaman Properties of Landrum, supplied bids at $443,410 and $472,734, respectively. Adding the price for the pergola back into Owens’ project bid would have made his bid the highest of three submitted earlier this month. Wolochowicz said this provides an opportunity for the city. “I’m really looking at this as a positive thing. I feel bad for Mr. Owens but from the city’s perspective we have a good feel for how the design affects

Agricultural visionaries are having their way and Western North Carolina is becoming as well-known for caviar, truffles and heirloom tomatoes as it has been for black-eyed peas, barbecue and cornbread. Talk to local tomato growers at the Saluda, Columbus, Tryon and Landrum farmers’ markets about what’s taking root from their fields to our tables. And this time of year, talk to them about the traditional heirloom tomato. They are happy to remind us that the round, red and almost flavorless grocery store tomatoes have long suffered from the genetically modified concessions made in shipping the product from the farm to the produce aisle. They also often taste bland because they are picked green and then gassed to ripen which strips them of their lycopene and vitamins – eeewww. They will tell you that heirloom tomatoes are an entirely different experience, both in taste and nutrition. They come from seed that is at least 75 years old, in thousands of varieties and colors. They will invite you to witness over the coming weeks the tomatoes that are allowed their full time on the vine get more acidic and tastier as the season develops from summer to fall. You will see and taste for yourself tomatoes that are purple, white, black, brown, green and striped; shapes and colors that contrast markedly from their commercial cousins. Heirloom tomatoes fall into varieties that include the following: (adapted from “Local Pal-

Bike Farm Tour travels county Almost two dozen cyclists made their way around Polk County as part of the second annual Growing Cycle Farm Tour held Saturday, June 23. Twenty-two participants visited five farmers and two wineries, sampling food and tasting wine from eight local farms. These adventurous cyclists gathered at the Mill Spring Agricultural Center and covered more than 47 miles of rolling hills. Proceeds from the ride benefited the ag center’s demonstration kitchen, which will teach people how to prepare local farm fresh produce and create healthy meals. Jimmi Buell of the Polk Cooperative Extension Service organized the event. (photos submitted by Jimmi Buell)

From the Editor: The Tryon Daily Bulletin had more fun than you know sorting through your “ahh”-inspiring, laughter-inducing and just toocute-to-be-true pet photos. There’s no question the residents of our wonderful foothills love their furry friends. It’s evident in the long list of programs volunteers make possible at the Foothills Humane Society. It’s obvious by the numerous other organizations and individuals who regularly work to help our furry friends as well. It definitely could not go unnoticed by our staff when we received almost 150 photos from readers of everything from bunnies to goats to felines! Thank you for sharing these precious members of your family. While there were dozens of potential winning photos in the mix, only one could grab the cover of this section and a $50 gift card from Purrrfect Bark in Columbus. That prize went to ???? who you can learn more about on the next page. We hope this section proves to be informative and enjoyable for you and the furrier members of your family! - Samantha Hurst, editor

WAYS LOCAL PEOPLE SPOIL THEIR PETS: Edward and Bernice Culbreth said they simply love their 130-pound pooch and shower her with as much affection as possible. “We give her a lot of attention … Papa takes her for a long walk twice a day. She’s papa’s girl - she stays right with him and follows every step he takes,” Bernice Culbreth said. Lisa Stokes’ Great Dane Blue doesn’t get people food, although he gets a treat now and then, but what he wants more than anything is a good rub down. “We call it that he ‘comes up for a spark’ – an old expression my husband learned from his parents. Blue just walks up to you while you’re watching television, lifts his head up and lets you know he wants you to rub his neck … then he walks the length of the sofa so you can rub him from nose to tail. He’s such a big old baby.” Betty Ross found her dog Buddy in Charlotte near the freeway – no

collar and in very bad shape. She brought him home and took him in as her own. Part Weimaraner and part chocolate lab, he’s been a marvelous dog, she said. “I throw his tennis ball religiously – he lives for that tennis ball. Whether I throw it out in the water or across the yard, he wants to chase it,” she said. Dianne Joyce said she makes a point of grooming her four dogs, two cats and two horses regularly because they love it. “I always wanted a big family — I just didn’t know it would be mostly animals,” Joyce said. Joyce’s pets love particular treats as well. Her oldest horse loves bananas while her youngest horse loves papaya chips and another craves tomatoes. Every weekend the dogs get a marrow bone, which helps keep their teeth clean, she said.

Tuesday, July 31, 2012

WRITTEN BY LEAH JUSTICE

Whatever the animals, whether dogs, cats or horses, they are no longer considered just a pet, but a full-fledged member of the family. That being the case, pet owners naturally want to give their animals the proper nutrition to ensure their family members live long, healthy lives. Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald from “Animal Planet” said a survey was conducted in 1957 posing the question: Do you consider your pet(s) a part of your family? In 1957, 43 percent of participants answered yes, they did consider their pet a part of their family. When the same survey was done in 2004, 97 percent of participants answered yes. Most pet owners may be unaware that they should read ingredient labels on their pet food, but there are some basic terms that should be avoided to ensure your pet is getting the proper nutrition it deserves.

FOODS PETS SHOULD NOT EAT: All pet owners have given in to their animals’ pleas for table food, but some foods edible for humans can pose hazards to pets because of their different metabolism. Some foods can cause digestive problems and others can cause severe illness and even death. The following are some of the items pets should not eat, either intentionally or unintentionally: • ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES - can cause intoxication, coma and death. • AVOCADO - the leaves, seeds, fruit and bark contain persin, which can cause vomiting and diarrhea. • BONES from fish, poultry or other meat sources can cause obstruction or laceration of the digestive system. • CHOCOLATE, COFFEE, TEA (or other caffeine) can cause diarrhea and be toxic to the heart and nervous system. • FAT TRIMMINGS - can cause pancreatitis. • FISH (raw, canned or cooked- if fed exclusively or in high amounts can result in a thiamine deficiency leading to loss of appetite, seizure and in severe cases, death. • GRAPES, RAISINS AND CURRANTS - contain an unknown toxin that can damage the kidneys. There have been no problems associated with grape seed extract. • MILK/DAIRY PRODUCTS - some adult dogs and cats may develop diarrhea if given large amounts. • ONIONS AND GARLIC - contain sulfoxides and disulfides which can damage red blood cells and cause anemia. Cats are more susceptible than dogs. Garlic is less toxic than onions. • RAW EGGS AND MEAT - may contain salmonella and e. coli. bacteria. • SALT - if eaten in large quantities may lead to electrolyte imbalances. • TABLE SCRAPS (in large amounts) - are not nutritionally balanced. They should never be more than 10 percent of the diet. - source www.peteducation.com

minerals. Pets also have allergies that can be seasonal or non seasonal, such as food allergies. There are plenty of foods on the market today for your pet’s individual needs, whether your pet is overweight, older or needs a specialized prescription diet. Many of these specialty foods and supplements can be found at Nature’s Storehouse in Tryon. Common allergies can come seasonally, such as from fleas, but many pets also suffer from food allergies or allergies of the environment. Dave Conley with Pet Source in Hendersonville said simply taking out cheap grain, wheat, corn and soy from a pet’s diet can help with food allergies. Some symptoms of food allergies can range from skin irritation to drainage in the eyes, Conley said. Another thing to look for in older pets is too much salt in their diet, Jenkins said. Vitamins and supplements are readily available for other pet ailments. For example, Glucosamine is important for pets’ joints and can help with arthritis symptoms in older pets, especially in older dogs. When looking for good cat food, owners should be aware of choosing foods that are healthy for a cat’s urinary tract health. The main ingredient should obviously be meat or fish, but owners should also look for ingredients such as broth, vegetables, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Seeing the word “byproduct” or a long chemical name that you can’t pronounce are the first signs that brand should be avoided, say veterinarians and pet food providers.

Caring for your pets’ needs doesn’t require a highway or a 30-minute ride. Purrrfect Bark opened its doors in Columbus in December 2011 and has been booming ever since. Eric Mack and Laura Backus, owner of Little Mountain Farm Supply in Tryon, said many of their customers came into Little Mountain stating, “I didn’t know you carried dog and cat food.” Then Mack saw the need for a store serving better quality pet foods and in a location that was more convenient. “People were driving to Hendersonville and Spartanburg that were unaware of the selection we carried at Little Mountain. Lots of people don’t go out toward Green Creek and we thought Columbus would be a good location,” said Mack. Purrrfect Bark took to the town of Columbus due to a higher traffic flow along Hwy. 108. The space is small but filled from floor to ceiling with everything you could need for your pet, including quality foods, treats, leashes, grooming supplies and toys. Anything he doesn’t have, Mack said he makes sure to check and see if he can get it for you. “Coming to a smaller independent you obtain more advice than going to a larger store. We attend several trade shows and product seminars a year, keeping us up-to-date on the latest products. Our philosophy is better quality foods results in lower (Continued on page 17)

cost in vet bills. People are more aware now of their own food, plus the ingredients in their pets’ food, resulting in better coat quality, overall health and less consumption of food. And less poop!” said Mack. It’s not a theory that what you feed your pet is just as important as the type of foods you feed yourself. “Lower quality foods actually cost you more because of the added fillers, which your pet’s body can’t utilize fillers, thus they become waste” said Mack. “With better quality foods a pet’s body utilizes more and becomes fuller faster, requiring fewer portions per day, thus saving you money.” Purrrfect Bark carries a wide variety of product: frozen foods, canned foods, brands such as Sojos, Honest Kitchen, Orijens, Wellness and many more. They also offer frequent buyer programs. “We have several premium quality products that are only available to independent retailers who show excellent knowledge of the product line and can be helpful in determining specific dietary needs,” said Mack. Many similar products that we sell are less

expensive or sometimes a couple dollars more but 20 miles closer. As an example, an extra large dog crate at our location is $99 and at a national pet retailer it is $149. Saving yourself gas money as well.” Not only is it important to Mack to take care of pets who have owners but also those who don’t. “We offer free bags of cat food to those who adopt cats from us through Foothills Humane Society (FHS). We’ve negotiated a deeply discounted price for FHS that we now provide them. We also donate to local athletic and youth groups,” he said. Mack said what keeps him going in business is helping people understand and notice the difference in feeding higher and better quality foods to their pets. And he’s doing just that every day. “Business is doing very well and we’re currently looking to expand to a bigger location. In the plan also is to eventually bring wild bird food. Columbus has been welcoming and supportive to our entrepreneurial spirit. Many customers come in and ask how everything is going and are genuinely interested,” Mack said.. Purrrfect Bark is located at 40 E. Mills St. in Columbus, right next to Paul’s Barber Shop. For further information about the store or your pet needs, call Mack at 828-894-2444.

dog

BY PAT THORNE, OWNER OF K9 HOLISTIC DOG TRAINING

: My dog lives with three

cats and is very nonchalant about their comings and goings. So, why is it that if my dog sees a strange cat across the yard or while outside he goes crazy and wants to chase it? A: Dogs are pack animals. Cats and other dogs in your household are considered safe and part of their pack. The aggressive attitude displayed toward a strange cat (or dog) is only a reaction to a potential threat that your dog sees as a danger to its own pack. If you are out and your dog sees a strange cat it may bark as a warning. The barking then triggers the chase behavior in your dog because the cat runs away from the barking dog. Staying calm and turning your dog away from this potential threat is the best thing you can do for him.

: My dog will not eat his

dinner unless I am in the room. Even then he only eats one piece at a time making sure I am watching him. He never finishes a bowl of food. Even when I return home he will run over to his bowl and start eating again piece by piece. He seems thin to me and I just want him to eat a full meal every day. A: This is not unusual behavior. When we unintentionally give our dogs the leadership position of our pack they will use food to demonstrate to us that they are indeed the leader. They do this by “gesturing eating” in front of us. Your dog is saying to you, “I am in control of the food, not you.” This role needs to be reversed. You should take your dog’s bowl at mealtime and do the following: Place his bowl on the counter next to a small plate for you on which you will put a small piece of food for yourself. A cracker or maybe a piece of cheese would do. Next fill your dog’s bowl and then eat your small bite of food in front of your dog. You are now “gesture eating” in front of him! You are communicating that you are the resource for his food, not him. You can then place his bowl down and walk away. If at any time he walks away from his bowl, pick it up and do not feed him again until next mealtime. In time this will put an end to your “picky eater.”

: Why does my dog not come to me when I call him?

A: Most owners’ dogs will not come to them when called, and sometimes even run in the opposite direction, for one simple reason. Think for a moment — realistically, at what point do most owners call their dog to them? We call them when we want to trim their nails, leave the park to go home, come in from outside or to put them in a crate when we will be leaving them. When a dog follows a “come” command it should never end in a negative outcome. You should go to your dog to do such things. However, in a situation where you have to call your dog to you, such as leaving a park, call them to you and give them a treat followed by a few minutes of fun play before going home.

KEEPING PETS

BY ASHLEY BREWINGTON

Zorro, Marcy Wright’s pup, relaxing in his personal kiddie pool. Photo submitted.

It’s getting hotter outside and your pets are feeling the heat. Keeping your pets cool this summer is as necessary a task as keeping yourself cool in the rising heat. Dogs, cats and horses alike get hot and can over heat. Dr. Ian Fitch of Bonnie Brae Veterinarian Hospital said in order to check whether or not your pet is overheating, “monitor for excessive panting and red

gums.” Maintaining fresh clean water daily is a big help to animals that are kept not only indoors but also especially outdoors, he said. Cats with long hair will appreciate a cool towel wrapped around them or a frozen bottle of water to lie on or near. Horses can expunge their heat with a cold sponge or may need their larger blood vessels near the neck, leg and belly to be

hosed down. Dogs can develop hot spots in their coat during excessively hot conditions. With a cold, damp towel, pet owners can relieve their canine of these spots. Giving them a “cool down bath” with no soap, just cool water, can also help alleviate these issues. Breeds such as bulldogs, Saint Bernards and boxers are especially sensitive to heat.

Keeping pets cool (continued from page 26)

Fitch suggests one of the best ways to protect animals from the summer’s temperatures is to keep pets in a cool place between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. with a 15 to 20-minute walk if your pet is fit and healthy. Showering your pets with constant water flow with a sprinkler system or a small kiddie pool will help the animal keep comfortable and will escape the heat in addition to the “cool down bath.” Some pet owners have discovered giving a dog sugar-free popsicles can cool the dog from the inside out just as it would its owner. Avoid keeping your pets in a car, or a room where sun can get in; keep them in a cool, air conditioned place. Grooming your pets is another great way to keep them cool and comfortable. Professional pet groomer Terri Henderson, owner of Doggie Barber Shop and Daycare in Landum, said when cutting a dog’s fur she “tries not to show the skin because it can sunburn.” Henderson went on to discuss the increase of fleas and ticks in the summer months. She suggested using preventive maintenance outside and not only on the dog. She said an at-home trick to killing fleas immediately is washing your pet in Dawn dish detergent. Following the bath call your local veterinary clinic to see what they recommend to further the treatment. Pets can get hot just like you. A good rule of thumb to remember is if it’s too hot outside for you, it is too hot for your pet as well.

ORGANIZATIONS to the RESCUE Pet owners not alone in effort to care for animals.

BY CHANNING MARSHALL

Tuesday, July 31, 2012

Although pet ownership can be an exciting and loving companionship, it requires much responsibility, and this responsibility can sometimes be overwhelming. Unfortunately, some pet owners believe that they have to give away their pet in order to give it the life it deserves, without realizing that there are many different programs throughout the community that strive to help you care for your pets. Ranging anywhere from food to obedience training, or even if a pet needs rescue, there are multiple organizations that will assist you in the care and keeping of your pets when you are in need. The organization, along with several others, also provides a variety of services to pet owners who feel they may not be able to afford continuing to feed or provide healthcare for their pets. The overall goal of all these organizations is to see to it that no pet goes without a loving home or ends up furthering the increase of stray pet colonies. (Continued on page 35)

LOCAL RESCUE ORGANIZATIONS FOOTHILLS HUMANE SOCIETY

PET TENDER ANGELS

• Keep ‘Em Home Through their program called “Keep ‘Em Home,” the Foothills Humane Society provides pet food to those in need of assistance. By accepting donations from Wal-Mart and other stores of pet food with broken bags, volunteer groups such as Meals on Wheels & Christian Ministry then bring the food to members of the community who may be unable to feed their animals otherwise. For more information on this program, please contact the Foothills Humane Society at 828-863-4444. • Voucher Program Another program through the Foothills Humane Society is the Discount Voucher Program, where FHS will provide vouchers to discount veterinary costs, which is made possible through discounts received by the Foothills Humane Society. This is to help members of the community to access affordable veterinary care. The food donation program is another great opportunity to help. Community members can drop off food at area vets to benefit the Foothills Humane Society. Drop off boxes are located at different veterinary offices in the area, such as Bonnie Brae, Cloverfield and Landrum Veterinary Clinic. Drop off boxes are located at Little Mountain Farm Supply and Hospice Thrift Barn. • Basic Obedience Training Basic Obedience Training classes, held by Deborah O’Donald at the Foothills Humane Society, are a great opportunity for pet owners in the community to come and learn basic training skills for their pets. This is a wonderful opportunity for those in the community who have trouble disciplining their animals and would like to learn more about obedience. These classes are open to the public and are offered Tuesday mornings and Thursday evenings. For more information, please contact the Foothills Humane Society at 828-863-4444. • Low Cost Vetting The Foothills Humane Society offers a variety of programs to provide inexpensive, full vetting treatments for your pets. FHS is currently offering free adoption, meaning that they are currently waiving regular adoption fees, which usually cover everything from vaccinations to medications. Although this is not always offered, Foothills Humane Society always cuts the costs of these necessary vetting treatments, which they are able to do thanks to the generous donations and grants they receive. “Po’ Kitties” is a program that provides inexpensive spaying and neutering to the kittens of the area. Another low rate program called “Mothers with Litters” allows members of the community to bring in new mothers and their litters to be fixed. “Fix Your Pits For Free” is a voucher program that will cover the costs to have your pit bull spayed or neutered. If one of these programs doesn’t cover your pets, the Foothills Humane Society is able to cut costs in half for pet owners who want to have their pets spayed and neutered. “Our primary goal is to do our part to help with the over population problem” says Selena Coffey, executive director of the Foothills Humane Society.

• Pet Tender Angels is a non-rofit organization founded in the upstate South Carolina area to become a place for stray, feral, special needs or abandoned dogs. The shelter believes in the rescue and rehabilitation of dogs so that they can be adopted into loving homes. Through their efforts, hundreds of once homeless dogs have been rehabilitated and socialized and adopted into loving homes. To get in touch with Pet Tender Angels, call 864-787-2498. SALUDA DOG SOCIETY • The Saluda Dog Society is a fairly new, community based, networking organization founded to help provide care and assistance to the area’s four-legged friends. The group provides a wide variety of volunteer services, such as stray dog rescue, foster homes for pets in need and rehabilitation. It even helps find lost dogs through the large network of community members and local volunteer organizations. The Saluda Dog Society holds meetings about once a month. To learn more about the services provided or to get involved, call Pat Waring at 828-749-1332. (continued from page 36)

Organizations

(continued from page 35)

FERA • The Foothills Equestrian Recue Association is a division of the Foothills Humane Society that investigates and takes action against the neglect and abuse of horses in the area. FERA has five cruelty investigators who assist the animal control officers through the sheriff ’s department when horses have been mistreated, neglected, or abused. FERA also assists horse owners in the community when they are unable to afford food or medical expenses. To get in touch with the Foothills Equine Rescue Association, call 828-863-4444. PILOTS N PAWS • Pilots N Paws was founded by Debi Boies and pilot Jon Wehrenberg in 2008. Their efforts were first executed when Jon agreed to help Debi by flying a rescued Doberman from Florida to South Carolina to save the dog’s life. The trip was a success and the two brainstormed on how to rescue other animals. Because of the extensive pet overpopulation problem in the south, Debi and Jon said they knew that by transporting these animals to locations where loving homes could be found they would be saving the lives of many pets who could otherwise be euthanized. When the website was launched, they created a location where private pilots who were willing to provide free transport, and people and organizations who were willing to rescue, shelter or foster animals, could connect to save lives. Today the organization has 2,466 pilot volunteers and 8281 volunteers. Dogs, cats, pigs, reptiles

and rabbits are just a few of the thousands of animals that have taken one of their flights. To contact Pilots N Paws, visit their website at www.pilotsnpaws.org.
