Burn Ban in place for Parker County By Natalie Gentry An emergency burn ban – declared by Parker County Judge Mark Riley – was issued Oct. 8 in Parker County because of an elevated risk of wildfires due to drought conditions. The ban took effect at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 8 and will last for seven days, expiring at 11 a.m. on Oct. 15. This decision comes less than 24 hours after Tarrant County issued a burn ban, reaffirming the widespread drought conditions. Parker County currently sits at an average of 639 on the Keetch Byrum Drought Index (KBDI), with some ar-

eas of the county topping 700. These numbers are important because KBDI indexes of 600-800 are the most severe associated with intense, deep-burning fires with significant downwind spotting. Even live fuels such as grasses and trees can be expected to burn actively at these levels. For more information on the KBDI visit: http://ticc.tamu.edu/Documents/ PredictiveServices/Drought/KBDI_ Fact_Sheet.pdf. Residents who violate the burn ban can face a class C misdemeanor that could result in a fine of up to $500 plus PLEASE SEE PC, PAGE 2A.

On the day before the burn ban was issued, firefighters from La Junta, Springtown, and Azle quickly extinguished a grass fire between Cindy Lane and Hyde Away Lane Oct. 7. Photo by Natalie Gentry

Hickey Hollow project plagued by thefts By Natalie gentry Crews working on the Hickey Hollow Bridge can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. The project on Smith Road has experienced a number of setbacks, including a three-week wait on concrete and a series of thefts. “We’ve had a couple of batteries stolen out of the vehicles,” County Commissioner for Precinct 1, George Conley said. According to Conley, these thieves did more damage than simply taking

the batteries though. “We lock the vehicle up, so they had to come in and cut the locks,” Conley said. “Then they just cut the cables connecting the batteries and anything else in the way.” Batteries for these vehicles can run from $200-$300 apiece. Barring any further complications Conley estimates that the project should be completed in about two weeks. Its original projected completion date was early September.

Square Deal arrives Oct. 18 All-day fundraiser to aid Tabernacle refurbishment

by mark k. campbell Expect the Springtown Square to be crowded Saturday, Oct. 18 from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m. That’s the hope of the Friends of the Tabernacle committee, anyway. An all-day event is slated that includes food trucks, a chili cook-off, and a street dance. Committee member David Ward said the Square Deal is family friendly and will include a number of activities for all ages. All proceeds from the shindig go toward the Tabernacle fund, he said. The committee’s ultimate goal is to raise $125,000; right now there is about $50,000 in monies. The Oct. 18 event is expected to bring in another $12,000-$15,000, Ward said. He said, “We want to get the citizens invested.” Ward recounted the history of the Tabernacle – built in the 1930’s – about how many public performances have been held there through the years as well as revivals. “The diary show used to be a big deal, back in the ‘50’s, ‘60’s, and After a series of setbacks work at Hickey Hollow is finally nearing ‘70’s,” Ward said. And many a local resident used the an end. The estimated time for the completion of the project is two weeks. Photo by Natalie Gentry Tabernacle historically as a weekend

hangout during their teenage years. The Square Deal already has numerous business sponsors, Ward said. In fact, all sponsorships sold out, he noted on the group’s Facebook page. During the 12-hour event, new cars will be displayed and a series of singers will perform – including a one-

Campbell time SISD teacher, Steve Hill. Also, Ward said, several upscale items will be raffled off, including a welding machine worth $450. Tickets are $1 each and the drawing

is set for 8:15 p.m. Advanced entry into the event can be obtained by purchasing a special black and orange wristband that says “I (heart) the Tabernacle.” A $5 donation at City Hall goes directly into the fund. Another fundraising effort is directed toward the sale of paving stones. Those are available for $50 each and can be bought any time from City Hall or at the Square Deal event. Ward said earlier work done around the Square was still being considered in a contest lauding the top downtown construction efforts. A special voting on Facebook at Friends of the Tabernacle can boost the project’s chances, he said. Springtown is in the top three in the Texas Downtown Association contest; a grant of approximately $1,500 goes to the winner. With the current $50,000 collected, Ward said work would soon begin on re-roofing the Tabernacle. The faux-wood roof comes with a 50-year warranty. Future improvements on the Tabernacle site include sidewalks, sprinklers, a fountain/water feature, seating improvements, landscaping, and electrical upgrades.

Who Should Be Taking a “Statin”? High levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, so called “bad” cholesterol, can cause fatty deposits in the blood vessels. When this happens the risk of a heart attack or stroke may increase. Unhealthy lifestyle choices are often the reason for high cholesterol, although it can be inherited. A person is more likely to have high cholesterol if they are a smoker, obese, do not exercise, eat a poor diet and if they have diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease. New treatment guidelines recently identified four groups that can benefit from taking one of the drugs commonly referred to as a “statin”. Statins work to lower the bad cholesterol in the body by blocking a substance that leads to cholesterol production in the liver. New guidelines indicate that the groups that can benefit from statin therapy have 1) a history of heart attack, chest pain, stroke, or have had surgery to restore blood flow in the heart, 2) a low density lipoprotein (LDL) level equal or greater than 190 mg/dL, 3) diabetics aged 40-75 with LDL between 70-189 mg/dL and 4) a LDL between 70-189 mg/dL plus an estimated 10 year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk greater than 7.5%. It is suggested that people in these four groups be placed on high or moderate intensity statin therapy.

divert southbound to Pojo Drive to remove and replace approximately 6 inches of existing pavement. At the end of the day, traffic will be put back into its normal configuration. After pavement repairs are completed, the existing sur-

face from Highway 199 to 5th Street will be removed. This part of the process is estimated to take about two days. After the pavement is milled, the new paving operations for the entire project length – Highway 199 to the Wise County line – will begin.

Keeping an eye on your credit

This portion of the project should take about two weeks. The entire span of work is estimated to be completed by late fall. For more information, contact TxDOT PIO Natalie Galindo at Natalie.Galindo@ txdot.gov or 817-370-6744.

Annual report check vital for healthy finances By Natalie Gentry Greg Runnebaum, of Covenant Credit Repair (CCR) spoke at the Springtown Chamber of Commerce luncheon Sept. 25 about the importance of checking individual credit reports to maintain accurate credit information. Runnebaum explained how CCR owner, Mary Robb – previously a mortgage loan officer – was continuously upset when she had to tell people they could not qualify for a loan based on credit reports/scores. After some research, Robb found that other loan officers didn’t suggest credit repair companies to clients because of a general sense of distrust in the firms. According to Runnebaum, Robb decided to take a leap of faith by quitting a salaried bank job to open a trustworthy credit repair business. Runnebaum explained that CCR focuses not only on repairing any discrepancies that may appear on individual credit reports but also in educating people in ways to maintain their report. According to the CCR website, people should keep the following five tips in mind to help raise credit scores. • Check credit reports at least once a year and sign up for a credit monitoring service to pull reports and send alerts about changes. This service will also alert individuals to potential identity theft. • The site also suggests that people pay bills on time, every time. This includes utility bills, mortgage, auto payments, and all revolving lines of credit. • Never charge more than 30 percent of available balance on credit cards. Banks like to see a record of on-time payments, and a few credit cards that are not maxedout. • Use credit cards – many people who make mistakes with their credit believe that the best way to fix things is to never use credit again. One option is to run utility bills on the cards each month, and then pay the balance in full by the due date. Not only does this ensure the

utility bills get paid on time, as long as you keep paying off the card each month your score will continue to go up. • Finally, keep accounts open as long as possible – even if you are no longer charging on

age of accounts on your report is a major factor in your credit score. Runnebaum said that sometimes people find that they simply need help to make their report right; that’s where CCR steps in. He noted that CCR offers a “no pressure” complimentary analysis of reports and that the firm is bonded and registered to do credit repair. Each client is assigned their own specialist so they will talk to the same person every time they call. After the analysis, the specialist at CCR will determine, discuss, and help the client create a customized credit repair strategy, specific to their circumstances. Runnebaum said Covenant Credit Repair’s name was chosen because God inspired Robb to open a credit repair firm to help people achieve the “American Dream” of buying a home or other purchase in the pursuit of happiness.

National Night Out

It’s a classic case of “David and Goliath” as 3-year-old Chris Moore fires a foam ball at the plywood Philistine. Win or lose, every child walked away from the free game with a prize. A major draw at National Night Out was the Crazy Train. The miniature locomotive carted happy children and parents around the square during the event.

Lauren Taylor takes a turn beating up a car at the Parker County ESD 1’s car bash. The firefighters later used the vehicle for “jaws of life” demonstrations.

Alex Church caresses a bunny at the petting zoo during National Night Out Oct. 7. Once again the event was conducted on the downtown Square.

Curious National Night Outers had the chance to ask questions about the CareFlite helicopter. Kids and adults alike were amazed at some of the facts, such as the time it takes CareFlite to transport a patient to a hospital in Fort Worth: just 6 minutes!

Another sweep sets up a Decatur showdown

SHS racers return to action

Lady Eagles ranked No. 2 in Texas in 4A by mark k. campbell The expected clash of the titans arrives Friday in Decatur. Both Springtown (18-14, 3-0) and Decatur smashed other 8-4A opponents and arrived at the end of the first round of district play with unmarred records. The Lady Porcupines got there with another sweep, 3-0, of Lake Worth. No games were close – 2516, 25-14, 25-9. With such a quick victory, match stats were not huge. Still, SHS dug out 64 balls with Kendyl Dean leading with 12 and Brooklyn Dauenhauer with 11. The Lady Frogs had no answer for Dauenhauer, the senior team leader. She killed 17 balls, assisted with 9, and even got a half a block. Ashton Weaver blocked 2.5 balls to pace Springtown and she added 6 kills. “We played well,” coach Leighann Strickland said. “Our offense ran different options that helps the pace of our game.” The Lady Porcupines will tangle with the Lady Eagles in Decatur Friday, Oct. 10. SUBVARSITIES – The JV moved to 3-0 in district with a 2-1 win over Bridgeport and 2-0 victory over Lake Worth. Against Bridgeport, Karrah Cooper and Taylor Keith both had 21 digs.

Results on Page 9A! squads, Springtown coach Trent Davis said that every Lady Porcupine ran a personal best, led by Sharaia Stout. She sped around the twomile course in 13 minutes, 46 seconds to pace SHS. Three other Lady Porcupines broke 14 minutes: Kristine Camacho (13:53), Harley Phares (13:54), and Morgan Langham (13:56). The varsity boys got an outstanding performance by Alan Tarango. His time of 18:12 over the three-mile route was not only the best by a Porcupine by 47 seconds, but, by finishing seventh overall, Tarango earned a medal. The next four Porcupines to finish all set PRs, Coach Davis noted. The junior varsity girls were second overall and were led by Gabby Casanova who claimed a medal for her seventh place effort. The boys junior varsity saw two Porcupines medal: Nick Stevens (4th, 20:04) and David Cobos (8th, 20:22). Before the district championships arrive, Springtown will run one more meet, at Haltom Oct. 16.

Brownwood pulls away from Porcupines by mark k. campbell Bummer. In the final game before district play begins, the last thing you want is to lose one of your quarterbacks to a broken arm. But that’s what happened early in the Porcupines’ 30-7 loss to visiting Brownwood. Sophomore Kaleb Chesney came out of a pile of Lions and had to be helped off the field, holding his throwing wrist. That pressed SHS other QB, Dillion Springfield who is also a star receiver, into full-time service. He is also a talented runner who scored the first points of the game in the second period on a 5-yard run. Springtown (3-2) led at halftime 7-3. But a flurry of points – 24 – by Brownwood in the third quarter was too much as the Porcupine offense readjusted on the fly. In a game that featured the unusual event of three intentional grounding calls – one leading

to a safety for the Lions – there were plenty of highlights. The Porcupine defense was solid all evening, allowing just 248 total yards with near-constant pressure.

The SHS D was especially tight in the first half, limiting Brownwood to just a field goal. Ryan Snow paced the Porcupine offense with 129 total yards.

Today, I don’t even know when they play; I jumped on the trampoline with the grandkids when apparently some sort of overtime game was going on against Houston last Sunday. Back then, I was in pain as Dallas struggled behind the quarterbacking of Steve Pelleur or as I called him

“Steve Manure.” The Pokes were on their way to Dallas’ first losing season – 7-9 – since 1965. It was just too much for a die-hard fan to take! Especially when they went 1-7 in their final games.

(I also boldly predicted that, with Herschel Walker – “the greatest football player in history” – and Danny White, Dallas would go 19-0 in 1987:

Leading candidates appear in debate forums

exans interested in who their next governor and lieutenant governor will be witnessed major party candidates for those offices engage in live, one-hour broadcast debates last week. Fellow state Sens. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, and Dan Patrick, R-Houston, opponents in the race for lieutenant governor, faced off in Austin on Sept. 29. Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, and Republican Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott competed on stage in Dallas on Sept. 30, each striving to succeed longtime Gov. Rick Perry as the state’s chief executive. All four candidates held to traditional party lines on such bellwether topics as health care, transportation, education and border security. Republicans Patrick and Abbott identified themselves as anti-abortion and pro-border security while Democrats Van de Putte and Davis spoke in support of legislative solutions to expand women’s access to health services, foster a less fear-based treatment of border issues and bolster a public education system weakened by $5.4 billion funding cut last ses-

sion. On the topic of taxation, Patrick floated his idea that the adoption of a one- or two-penny state sales tax increase would reduce local property taxes by a corresponding amount. Election Day is Nov. 4, with early voting set for the week of Oct. 24-31. Ebola case is confirmed The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the state’s public health laboratory in Austin on Sept. 30 confirmed Dallas hospital patient Thomas Eric Duncan tested positive for the disease, Ebola. Duncan, who traveled from West Africa to Dallas on a commercial airline flight, was admitted into isolation on Sept. 29 at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas. Early symptoms of Ebola include sudden fever, fatigue and headache. Symptoms may appear anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure. Spread through direct contact with blood, secretions or other bodily fluids or exposure to contaminated objects such as needles, Ebola is said not to be contagious until symptoms appear. Officials urged health care providers to ask patients who have fever

Court upholds law Ed Sterling abortion The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals last week ruled a Texas law regulating abortion procedures, providers and facilities does not violate the Constitutional rights of women. House Bill 2, passed in during the second called session of the Texas Legislature in July 2013, contains two provisions that were at stake in the case, Whole Women’s Health, and others v. David Lakey, M.D., Commissioner of the Texas Department of State Health Services, and others. The plaintiffs had sought declara-

tory relief and permanent injunctions against the enforcement of (1) the requirement that any physician performing an abortion must have active admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the location where the abortion is performed; and (2) that all abortion clinics existing on or after Sept. 1, 2014, comply with the same minimum standards required of ambulatory surgical centers. Fund moves to top spot Education Commissioner Michael Williams and Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson announced Sept. 30 that the Permanent School Fund reached a record high value in 2014 that made it the largest educational endowment in the United States. On June 30, the fund surpassed Harvard University’s $36.4 billion endowment. Created by the state in 1854 with an initial $2 million investment, the Permanent School Fund stood at $37.7 billion in market value as of June 30. Some $30.6 billion of the fund is managed by the State Board of Education and $7.1 billion by the School Land Board. Day-to-day oversight of the fund is handled by staff at the

Texas Education Agency and the General Land Office. Williams and Patterson attributed the robustness of the fund to effective financial management and increased oil and gas operations on Permanent School Fund lands. Drought conditions remain Gov. Perry’s office on Oct. 3 announced the renewal of the emergency disaster proclamation the governor originally signed in July 2011, certifying that exceptional drought conditions posed a threat of imminent disaster in specified counties in Texas. This month, the proclamation applies to 113 of the state’s 254 counties. The proclamation directs that “all necessary measures, both public and private” as authorized by state law “be implemented to meet that threat” and “all rules and regulations that may inhibit or prevent prompt response to this threat are suspended for the duration of the state of disaster.” Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

The British Point of View: American Loyalists, Part 1

e all know the history of the birth of our nation, and we are very proud of it. But here is the story from the British point of view. “Prior to the American Revolution the majority of colonists thought of themselves as British, respected English law and did not want to rebel against their King or change their agreements by force. “The thirteen colonies were Crown property and most settlers, including the Pilgrim Fathers (who only made up a third of those arriving on the Mayflower, the rest were radicals), agreed to work for a limited period under the terms and conditions of an indentured employee in exchange for free passage, a land grant negotiated with the Indians and a much better lifestyle than their counterparts in Britain. “In most respects the American colonies governed themselves, but as they

and this at a rate of only sixpence a year each. “The British had repeatedly tried to get the colonists to pay towards their protection, by introducing various taxes, but all were unpopular. So after the Seven-Year War the British had a massive debt with few ways to reduce it, so they had to limit expenditure and as the colonists had been the beneficiaries, it was decided: 1. The settlers were to stop taking more and more Indian land, to limit spiraling defense costs and adding to the debt burden. 2. The settlers were to stop murdering the Indians (many of which had helped defeat the French), so as not to upset the only moneymaker in America, that of trading for furs. 3. They had to stop endemic corruption such as smuggling and bribery, that was costing the exchequer so much money. 4. They had to find a way of introducing a tax system that worked to

So Britain was obliged to deploy regulars to maintain an uneasy peace with the French and also protect colonist’s homes from Indian depredations. “This truce lasted until a 22-yearold lieutenant colonel in the British army, a certain George Washington, had his men launch an unprovoked attack on French troops at Jumonville Glen in 1754, killing 10 of them and murdering their commander. This effectively sparked off the Seven-Year War (1756-63) during which the French tried to drive the (non-French) colonists out of America. “To defend them, Britain had to increase its troop numbers in the colonies to ten thousand men. This is because when the colonists were left to their own devices, they nearly always lost.

help with the debt burden. “No taxation without representation,” the rebels said, but they did have representation through the colonial legislature/governor and had only been paying one twenty-sixth of the tax that a British taxpayer paid, who were effectively subsidizing them by bearing the burden of their protection. “Despite its notoriety, the objection to tax levied on tea was a ruse; the real issue was the British had, in an attempt to curtail their activities, undercut the price of tea offered by smugglers, so it’s not surprising that most of the revolutionary leaders were in fact smugglers. But what is less well known is these same leaders had become wealthy dealing with the enemy during the Seven-Year War, while fellow Americans were fighting to help save the colonies from the French.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Dan Miller, in his book, 48 Days to the Work You Love, says that we should work where we are strongest 80 percent of the time; where we are learning 15 percent; where we are weak 5 percent. Imagine what we might accomplish with that kind of intentional focus. Imagine what our churches and organizations might accomplish if every member was taking that approach.

Movie Man

Thursday, October 9, 2014

Fincher’s Gone Girl amps up the dread factor Not since The Hunger Games has the arrival of a popular novel to movie screens been so highly awaited. That’s the case with Gone Girl, the popular novel that’s now the No. 1 movie in America. About the film Whenever David Fincher is attached to direct a movie, interest in it balloons. Fincher is one of those guys who makes a picture his way and everyone involved knows it. His filmography has some nice movies on it and the Movie Man has caught all of them – with one major exception. After cutting his teeth on music videos for superstars like Madonna, Sting, and Aerosmith, Fincher almost short-circuited on the big screen right off the bat. Ask any sci-fi fan (but not the Movie Man) about Alien 3 and you’ll get a big yech! However, the Movie Man was a fan. (It came out in 1992, one year before the Movie Man changed the critical world via this column.) After that “misstep,” Fincher took off. Se7en (1995, Movie Man No. 96, a 6) was a giant hit and so was its highly-buzzed finale: “I hope what’s in that box is not what I think is in that box.” (It is.) The Game (1997, MM #198, 7) came next and it was good, too. Fincher’s next movie became a giant cult classic; however, the Movie Man, like lots of folks, missed it in theaters, Fight Club. That week – October 1999 – the Movie Man chose to see the pitiful The Story of Us (MM #309, 3 [in the Movie Man’s defense, Us starred red hot Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer and was directed by Rob Reiner before his career nosedived]). The Movie Man has seen all other Fincher major releases: • Panic Room (2002, MM #450, 7)

• Zodiac (2007, MM #707, 6) • The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008, MM #806, 8 [despite its behind-numbing Marriage Gone Wild length of 2 hours, 46 minutes]), The Social Network (2010, MM Starring: Ben Affleck, Roasmond #897, 7) Pike, Tyler Perry, Kim Dickens • The Girl with the Dragon Directed by: David Fincher Tattoo (2011, MM #962, 6). For movies actually scored, Rated R for: everything, including that’s an average of almost 7 a violent, bloody incident (6.857) – very impressive overall. email: movieman@azlenews.net ... on a scale of 1-10 It’s a tough call deciding his best movie, between Benjamin Button and Gone Girl.

Monarch conservation in PC n MONARCH, FROM PAGE 1B

Those butterflies traveling the farthest make a voyage of almost 2,500 miles. No single butterfly makes the entire round trip journey though. According to “Journey North,” an education and conservation website, the lifespan of a Monarch can vary from 2-6 weeks for summer butterflies to almost seven months for those who migrate in the fall. “Flight of the Butterflies,” another site dedicated to the Monarch migration, says that these intrepid insects have been making this journey for thousands of years, and Texas is the only state that all migrating Monarchs must cross to reach their wintering sites. The number of butterflies is typically 12 times denser as they flit through Texas as they were when they began their trip. This concentration of the butterflies is why the migratory path through the Lone Star State is called the “Texas Funnel.”

Monarchs to survive. The butterflies also face more subtle habitat destruction while in the north with the loss of their host plants. Milkweed – the plant larvae feed on exclusively – is considered a weed by many people and is often destroyed. Both milkweed and nectaring plants are also vulnerable to herbicides used by many landscapers, farmers, gardeners, and home owners.

Monarchs themselves can also be killed outright by many popular pesticides. In addition, due to recent drought conditions, the trek through Texas has become even more difficult for the butterflies. And once they reach their wintering sites, the Monarchs face new threats. Illegal logging and land development are two major causes of Monarch habitat de-

Monarch minutia • The Monarch caterpillar is capable of consuming an entire milkweed leaf in less than five minutes. • A black spot on an inside surface of its hind wing distinguishes the male Monarch butterflies from the females that have no such spot. • The orange of a Monarch butterfly’s wings is an Aposematic signal, or warning color that signals predators that the butterfly will taste bad or may be toxic. • The wings flap slower than other butterflies at about 300 to 720 times a minute. • They fly at speeds ranging between 12 to 25 miles an hour.

When Client or Pet Wear A Costume

Finding a reliable pet sitter You’ve booked your next vacation or trip to visit family living far away, and have made all of the arrangements necessary. Except for who will watch your pet. Millions of people across North America are pet owners. Although hotels and restaurants are increasingly amenable to pets, a good number of people prefer the convenience of leaving their pet home. Pets also seem to thrive in their familiar home environments. Keeping a pet home will require the services of a pet sitter to care for the animal. At one time pet owners had limited options when it came time to arrange care for their animals while they were away. The choices were between asking a friend or family member to take on the task or dropping the pet off at a nearby kennel. Today, however, trained profes-

sionals are available to watch your pets, some of whom will even come directly to the house. Hiring a pet sitter is nothing to take lightly, as it requires finding reputable sitters who are thoroughly vetted. When the time comes to hire a pet sitter, you want to ensure the person is trained and professional. After all, this person will be coming into your home and caring for your pet. Develop a series of questions you want answered, including a list of references, proof of bonding and insurance coverage, and fees. You also want to ensure that the pet and the sitter will get along together. If you don’t know where to begin the search, you can hire a National Association of Professional Pet Sitters pet sitter. These individuals have been trained in various pet sitting scenarios and should prove

more than capable. Once you choose a sitter, there are ways to make the experience easier for all involved. • Make a list of the things your pet enjoys and does not enjoy. • List any food allergies or problems with the animal. • Provide recent veterinarian check-up information and a basic health history. • Communicate your needs and wants about the animal. • Establish rules for the home. Set up the home for the arrival of the sitter, including leaving out any necessary supplies for the pet. • Clean up the house to prevent any hazards to the pet, including unplugging wires from outlets, and closing doors to rooms that are off-limits. • Leave a radio on to simulate comforting noises in the house and keep the pet calm.

• Be sure the garbage is empty so that curious pets don’t get inside and eat something they shouldn’t. The most important thing is the connection you have with the pet sitter and how well you both communicate about the needs of the animal. If you feel comfortable with the person, this improves the chances of a positive pet sitting experience.

Horse tips for prospective owners Children often dream of waking up one morning and finding their own horse or pony in their yards. Some people are able to make this dream a reality and own these beautiful animals. Whether raising a horse for pleasure or profession, it is important to know that caring for horses can be labor-intensive. The reward for properly taking care of a horse is a healthy and well-trained animal. But horse ownership is a significant and expensive responsibility, so it is important that prospective owners understand what they are getting into before they make any final decisions.

Breed The first to consider when mulling horse ownership is the breed. If you are unfamiliar with horses, it is best to research different breeds online and visit horse breeders and owners. Perhaps workers at a stable or farm nearby can guide your choice. There also are forums devoted to horses and care. Some recommended breeds for first-time owners include quarter horses, paints, and morgans. However, all horses are individuals and may have their own unique personality traits. Acreage and housing Horses are large animals and will need room to exercise and roam. They require a corral or pasture to stretch their legs, so a potential horse owner will need a relatively large property to give a horse the space it needs. In addition to the corral, the horse will require a shelter from the elements. A shed or stable should be at least 10 to 12 feet in both width and length. The height of the stable should be a minimum of 8 feet. This stable will provide shelter in both the cold and heat.
