Polk EMS director placed on administrative leave

by Leah Justice

The Polk County Emergency Services and Emergency Management is currently without a director as the county placed director Sandra Halford on administrative leave last week.

Halford was placed on paid leave on May 8. Interim county manager Marche Pittman said the county cannot comment further regarding the ongoing personnel matter.

Halford has worked with Polk County for almost 23 years. She started as a paramedic on July 1, 1990, was hired as the county’s emergency management director in 1999 and as the EMS/emergency management director in 2004.

Polk County commissioners earlier this year decided to split the EMS director and fire marshal/emergency management (Continued on page 4)

Historic Tryon Country Club hosts Donald Ross Invitational

by Kiesa Kay

In 1914, Tryon author and Emma Payne Erskine hired a daring young Scotsman named Donald Ross to design the golf course at the Tryon Country Club.

Ross had a stellar reputation, but no one knew then that the man would be named the most significant golf course designer since the game began in this country, or that in his lifetime, from 1872 to 1948, he would design 400 golf courses.

On Saturday, May 18, Tryon Country Club will honor this innovator with the annual Donald Ross Invitational, where club members will dress in the style popular 100 years ago. The club welcomes the public to this event, the first Donald Ross Invitational to occur since the Tryon Country Club made the list of the National Register of Historic Places, said Fred Edwards Jr. The course and clubhouse were built in 1916 by Robert A. Leonard, his crew and local artisans.

“My grandfather helped build this,” Edwards Jr., said with pride.

Natural, undulating greens distinguish Donald Ross golf courses, and the Tryon Country Club has stayed true to his original vision as they’ve maintained the course

through the years. Ross arranged the course so golfers must concentrate, and each golf hole presents a unique problem to solve. Many young men became caddies to get the chance to learn and play on the course.

Fred Edwards Sr. stepped foot on the Tryon Country Club’s impeccably designed course as a caddy at the tender age of 9.

The caddy bell still adorns the front of the country club. Golfers would ring the bell once if they needed one caddy, and twice if they needed two.

“If a golfer didn’t pay us well, we’d hide when that bell rang,” Edwards Sr. said. “It cost 65 cents for nine holes, and a dollar and a quarter for 18.”

Back then, in the 1940s and early 1950s, many golf clubs had wooden shafts, and the caddies had to work hard to keep care of the clubs. The shafts would get to rattling and the clubs would have to be soaked for maintenance. They had 300 sets of clubs to maintain, and they would pull them all out, wash them all off and get them back on the shelf. The caddies worked hard (Continued on page 7)

together, and they played hard, too.

A swimming pool rests on the grounds, and it used to be springfed. Sometimes the caddies would hit balls into it, especially in winter.

They also had the chance to get good at their golf games on the course.

“All of the caddies could play in the late afternoon, once or twice a week, and we’d pass one or two clubs around,” Edwards Sr. said.

“I never had a lesson in my life.

I just watched to see what other people did.”

Edwards Sr. got good, too. He hit a hole-in-one on the No. 9 hole, but he was looking to see who was coming down the dirt road, and didn’t get to see the ball fly into the hole.

On his 19th birthday, April 10, 1951, he had won the honor of caddying for Sam Snead, a legendary golfer. Snead got grumpy, though; he’d lost the Masters to Ben Hogan that year, and his per-

sonality wasn’t any the better for it, Edwards said.

Edwards’ oldest son, Fred Jr., acquired Edwards’ passion for the game and has worked in golf as a pro and supervisor all his life.

In 1979, Edwards Jr. won the annual championship, but Edwards Sr., got the title back in0tfn3tue 1980. In - page 2 all, Edwards Sr. has won nine championships and seven senior championships.

The quiet beauty of the golf course has enhanced many people’s lifelong love of the game, Edwards Jr. said.

“People say, they turn in here, and their blood pressure starts going down,” he said. “It’s relaxing.”

More than 20 class A pros and superintendents have played there.

Ted Fox played there, and Cecil Turner was the pro for many years.

Cecil’s sister, Margaret Turner Hannon, became a celebrated golfer, and won the women’s tournament 27 times. And it’s a place where family tradition flourishes.

“Most of what I know, I learned from my dad,” Edwards Jr. said.

i’d never seen before.” i stopped and became silent. “it was some kind of Grosbeak.” then she spoke it into my life. “it was white on the underside with sharp black wings and a red, red breast spot.” i quickly pulled out my phone with the bird app and flipped through the Grosbeaks.

Dental problems can cause horses to lose their balance

by Kirk Gollwitzer

One of the most common health factors that can have a pronounced effect on a horse’s ability to perform well is something most horse owners may never expect.

The actual cause of a drop in performance might be associated with how well a horse’s jaw structure is attached to its skull. Yes, a compromised temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can cause a horse to lose the ability to determine which way is down, according to trainer Lydia Juenger of Mill Spring.

When a horse is in flight over a jump, the single most important reference of orientation actually comes from the horse’s jawbones, she said. If the horse’s jaw alignment is out of kilter, the horse can become confused about their position to the world around them.

“Every piece of data flowing from all parts of a horse’s body, on its way to the brain, can be compromised by pain and other distractions in a horses TMJ,” said Juenger, who is also a certified equine sports massage therapist.

Other indications of an imbalanced TMJ can be seen when a horse has problems changing directions or navigating steep inclines. Horses that tend to lie down more often when they sleep may be suffering from a misaligned and often painful TMJ. “We hear owners and riders often use the term ‘bridal lameness,’ when they describe their horse’s loss of performance, when the symptoms might very well be due to problems with the horse’s teeth and jaw structures,” explained Juenger.

To determine the actual cause of a misaligned TMJ, equine dentists study the condition of the horse’s teeth, gums and overall geography within the large cavern of a horse’s mouth.

Until around the year 2000, the practice of equine dentistry

was filled with awkward procedures and long tools that relied on a dentist’s sense of feel, said Dr. David Zimmerman, D.V.M., a Landrum, based equine dentist.

“This is the main reason I always wear these steel toed boots,” Zimmerman said smiling and pointing to his toes.

However, with the development of new equine anesthetics and more advanced dental equipment, like the full-mouth speculum, today’s dentists can safely perform more complete examinations.

The importance of maintaining a regime of dental check-ups is vital for a horse’s overall health. It’s also important to understand the natural changes in the way horse’s teeth wear. According to Zimmerman, the way a horse consumes grass while grazing in a field versus how their jaws move while chewing grain and hay in their stall, is clearly different. The mastication or chewing variations can

cause their constantly growing teeth to veer off into sharp edges. These enamel points can cause irritation and even lacerations to the surrounding soft tissues of the mouth.

Horses with painful TMJ’s and active mouth sores begin to change the way they eat, by chewing on one side of their mouth, reducing their jaw

pressure or even not eating all together. Zimmerman said horses with dental problems might receive only 20 to 30 percent of their daily nutritional requirements.

Not all dentists and veterinarians perform every examination on a horse when they visit (Continued on page 13)

Choosing the right reel One question I get asked Zebco 33, and its bigger and regularly is; “What type of reel smaller brothers are spincasting reels. These reels are the simis the best?”

Well, there really is no one plest to use, after you learn the type that is best. The question fact that you let the button go to you need to ask yourself is; throw, not push it in.

I highly recommend these for “What type of fishing do I want kids or folks that are to do?” just starting out. You Reels are deLife can be casting designed with a gencent within your first eral purpose in mind.

Outside 10 minutes most of The four main types are: spincasting, Four Walls the time. These reels are designed to fish spinning, baitcasting

by Rob lighter weight baits, and fly reels. Each of McComas baits that are ¼ oz. these has their place, or less are the norm. and will outperform The pros to this the others in certain situations. I realize everyone can reel are ease of use, lower line note an exception to the norms, tangle rates and the ability to but these guidelines are generally handle lighter baits. The simple one button control is as simple correct.

Let’s start with spincasting as it can get. The cover over the reels. These are the “push but- spool reduces tangles and wind ton” reels many of us started knots. The spool doesn’t revolve using as kids. The tried and true so throwing light baits will not

end in disaster. It’s a very userfriendly reel.

The cons are the reels don’t cast heavy baits well, the drag is not able to handle big fish, and accuracy can be poor. When too much weight is added to the line, the extra pressure on the line keeper doesn’t release smoothly resulting in a hard to direct cast.

The drag system on these reels is aimed at smaller panfish. If you hook into a big girl, the line keeper causes a good break point, and the drags are usually jerky, not smooth, resulting in broke lines. And because there is no direct contact between your hand and line, controlling a cast can be difficult. If you push the button in after the lure is in route, it will stop quickly and drop strait down, or break the line.

That being said, these reels can do the job. I actually caught my second biggest fish, a 19 lb.

And while many bass fishermen will “laugh to scorn” at the sight of someone bass fishing with a spincast, they need to be reminded that Woo Daves won his first B.A.S.S. tournament on the Potomac River fishing a Zebco 808. He couldn’t skip baits on a baitcaster, so he got the big 808 and skipped his way to a hefty paycheck, a new Ranger boat, and a very successful career. I here ya Woo, and Zebco 808!

Next time we will look at spinning reels.

Beekeepers meet today to debate hive collapse Polk County beekeepers, like most U.S. beekeepers, are experiencing significant losses of hives. A hive may be healthy and thriving one day, only to be vacant the next. Many beekeepers have lost more than half of their hives this year, and no one knows why. Honey bees pollinate a third of all human food, so their loss as a species would be a serious blow to the diversity and quantity of food available for consumption.

Three leading explanations for hive collapse are centralnervous-system pesticides that

cause foraging bees to forget how to find home, interference with navigational abilities caused by RF signals from cellphone towers, and lethal Bt toxins found in the pollen of GMO crops. Diseases and infestations are less likely, because they would leave many dead bees in the hive, which is not occurring.

The bees just do not come home.

Local beekeepers will gather at the Crystal Creek Center, located at 1689 Silver Creek Road in Mill Spring on Thursday, May 16 at 7:30 p.m. to share their experience and insights and to find

PAC talks geocaching at Walnut Creek Preserve On May 25, Pacolet Area Conservancy volunteer Wally Hughes will present on “Geocaching” at the Anne Elizabeth Suratt Nature Center at Walnut Creek Preserve at 10 a.m.

Geocaching is a free realworld outdoor treasure hunt.

Using a smartphone or GPS, participants navigate to a specific set of GPS coordinates, trying to locate hidden containers, called geocaches.

Players can then share their experiences online. This is a great way to get out and explore

in the local area and abroad, and a great way to figure out how to use your GPS. Visit the PAC website, www. pacolet.org, for more information or call 828-859-5060.

On May 17, an accomplished clinician is offering a special demonstration in Columbus, designed to help riders defend themselves while horseback riding on the trails.

While there are many ways to be safe in our homes, our places of work, and some parks and recreation areas, there are few safety measures for us when we are out on the trails with our horses.

The clinic, taught and developed by Scot Hansen, a natural horseman and former mounted police officer, will show riders what to do when confronted by an assailant while trail riding. Instead of simply whirling his or her horse and galloping away, riders learn how to anticipate trouble, what to say, how to react and how to use his or her horse to their advantage.

The attendees will learn first-hand the theories and maneuvers needed to stay safe and out of reach of an assailant. They will also learn how to use the power of their horse to help them, building assurance and confidence in their horse.

The one-hour long demonstration on Friday, May 17 at 7 p.m. includes a series of activities for the horse and rider both from the ground and from the saddle. Donations will be accepted and will benefit the Foothills Humane Society.

The event will be held at Hulinn Dular Farm, located at 370 John Weaver Road in Columbus.

Attendees should bring their own chairs.
