Opening Day of Anza Gymkhana By Allison Renck It was Swapmeet Saturday in Anza and a beautiful day to boot on May 3, but the Swapmeet was not the only game in town. Anza’s Lions had its first Saturday Gymkhana of the season. Adults and children alike were out at the field soaking up the sunshine and having a fun day with their horses. The arena was in pristine condition and the cottonwoods provided shade for the parents and grandparents
watching the young people run the barrels. As this reporter walked around visiting with competitors and spectators alike, it seemed like she was transported back 10 years when she had watched her own children ride these same events. This reporter talked to old friends that are now watching their grandchildren doing the same events their children did. These grandparents are as supportive now as they were back then, cheering their grandchildren
on with excitement. This year a new volunteer announcer has taken to the tall tower to announce and time the events. She is Lion Anna Roepenack. Anna has recently moved to the Aguanga Area and wanted to get involved. So her and her husband joined the Lions Club and since she is a horse enthusiast, has volunteered to help out at the monthly events. When Anna isn’t busy helping with the Gymkhana, she is busy working to establish her horse training facil-
ity. Anna says the best thing about being the announcer is being able to watch the participants working to improve their horse’s behaviors. Anna states; “these participants are working towards the future, making themselves better horse people and their horses more responsive”. Sitting under a tree eating the Lion’s Club great Barbecue lunch was Kevin Ledford 16, Sierra Schulze 14 and Dani Angello 12.

Day Two “Every 15 Minutes” program; the assembly By Jodi Thomas Now the whole school gathers together in the Gym, yesterday they had witnessed the mock collision in which one of their classmates caused the death of others due to drinking and driving. The living dead sequestered overnight now enter the gym. Several are pall bearers carrying a casket of the one of those who did not make it yesterday, the rest all dressed in black carry candles. They file into their seats, they are clearly moved by what they have experienced. Stuffed animals are under their seats with tissue. The living dead students are those who watched and those who acted in the collision drama the day before. They had not spoken with friends nor parents; outside is their Trauma Intervention Counselors, Barbara

Organic disease and pest control Linda McDonald-Cash Landscape Designer Special to the Valley News Hello fellow gardeners! I thought this would be a good time to discuss problems we might incur in the garden, either now or soon. After putting in all the hard work that we do, we certainly don’t like to watch it all disappear due to disease or pests, and since I’m against toxins in the environment – I use organics when necessary – I will tell you about a few here today.

The role women play in society and within their own households has changed dramatically over the last half-century. According to Pew Research Center analysis of the Decennial Census and American Community Surveys Integrated Public Use Microdata Sample files, in 1960 just 10.8 percent of married mothers were the primary earners in households that included children under the age of 18. That figure rose steadily over the next 50 years, reaching 40.4 percent by 2011.
