When the National Anthem is played at a ball game
or patriotic event, what should you be doing? Proper flag etiquette
says to stand and place your hand over your heart in the civilian
salute.
Happy Birthday to Richard Hammond on June 28 and
Kyle Menard on June 29.

Letter
To The Editor
There is
a lovely little pond between Canterbury Road in Chichester and Route
4. We had not visited it for some time so we took a little walk
there about a week ago.
We were saddened to see some of the damage caused
by logging, but even more devastated to find the bodies of two
porcupines, side by side in the water along the very edge of the
pond. It was very obvious that they had been killed.
I wonder if the killer has such little disregard
for these little wild creatures that they may have been used for
target practice? I wonder also if the killer realizes that the
decomposing bodies are polluting this beautiful little pond?
I delight
in seeing wild creatures and observing their activities as they go
about their lives. It is very sad to realize that the lives of these
interesting animals have little or no meaning to others. They are
simply one more thing to be killed and disposed of instead of
appreciating what their genes tell them to do and learn to live side
by side. Such a great loss to all!

Field
of Dreams Has Openings for Summer Horse Day Camp
The Field
of Dreams Therapeutic Riding Program is celebrating 6 years of
offering horsemanship lessons for children with disabilities.
Therapeutic Riding uses the horse a therapeutic tool to help
individuals improve their balance, strength, flexibility and
coordination. By using specially trained horses and special
teaching techniques, the rider also gains a sense of self-esteem and
self-confidence.
This summer, Field of Dreams is once again
offering summer horse day camp the week of August 18-22. Campers do
not have to be disabled to participate, as the funds raised from
campers go to support the horses during the winter when there are no
lessons. For more information about summer horse camp, please call
Teresa at 798-4110 or e-mail at:
[email protected]
At Field of Dreams the focus is on independence
and trust from the time of arrival until the time to leave. Each
rider has an orientation date before they start lessons. This time
allows them to become comfortable with the strange smells and noises
of horses, dogs and baby goats on the farm. Lessons are 45 minutes
and consist of exercises to improve physical, mental and emotional
health. Teresa Brown, instructor at the Field of Dreams, states,
"The horse is a sensory treasure box; the smell, movements,
textures, sight from up high on the back of a horse and sounds
stimulate natural positive responses from riders."
Volunteers help keep the horses, fences and
pastures in good condition. They also help during lessons to
assist riders with exercises and games that are designed to improve
thinking and performing. One especially enthusiastic
volunteer feels that the horses give every-one involved a sense of
well-being and accomplishment. |
