—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, June 4.1977 110 Cowtown posts rodeo results COWTOWN, Pa. - The “kick off” for the 1977 Cowtown Rodeo season began last Saturday, with a party for the press and the officials of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., sponsors of the Winston Rodeo Awards. The rodeo began at 7:30 p.m. under clear skies, with a crowd of 2500 taking in all the action. Both Bronc riding events It may take [Continued from Page 90] back, she also recalled that they learned to pack a suitcase at the same time when all the different sizes of clothing were in the room. “You’d be surprised at how many ways there are to pack a suitcase,” she said. Another benefit reaped through the program, ac cording to Mrs. Ebright, is that the hand work helps to develop their motor skills. “I teach shop in this classroom,” she pointed out. “I. have to because sometimes their motor skills aren!t_developed enough to handle tools. So, we prepare go into the shop class.” Projects like the handyman crafts will b£ a boon in this area. But, probably the most important thing about the 4- H club is that it gives the members satisfaction, and pride in their work, along with a gift that they can give to others or keep for themselves. Bamby Garloff, Lebanon R 5, a 15-year-old Cedar Crest Falcon dub member, who was working on her third project the day Lancaster Farming visited, said that she was going to keep the soda straw belt she was making. “I was going to give it away,” she said with a big grin, “but my family told me to keep it for myself this time.” According to her, her two other projects had been gifts. For Dr. Marcia Beppler and Frank Bortz, state 4-H specialist who originated the idea to modify the dubs for the handicapped child, seeing the smiles on the were won by Kaye Kirby, ot Woodstown, N. J. Kaye along with his brothers, Sand and Butch, are among the top 15 professional rodeo cowboys in the United States. In Saddle Bronc riding Kaye marked a 65 for $111.72 and in the Bare Back event a 70 for $150.92. He also placed third in the bull riding for another $122.50. Abraham Morris, also of Woodstown, marked a 71 in faces of these 4-H’ers is the biggest reward they can get. “We had had requests to have clubs for slow lear ners,” Dr. Beppler remarked, “and we realized that the materials and the “learn by doing” concept was perfect for handicapped boys and girls, so we decided to give it a try.” So, about a year and a half ago, these two individuals along with Melanie Milligan, former assistant to the state office, started work on the project which included a guide to help adults un derstand and feel com fortable with these special students. The guide included material on the similarities and differences between special children and other boys and girls, and stages of development, as well as suggested learning experiences for the leaders to try. For instance, they simulated blindness by putting blindfolds over their eyes, and then tried to do a skill. Exercises such as this were designed to give the new leaders a real “feel" for the students they were going to be working with. And, so far, the program has been a big success. “At first, the boys thought that they didn’t want to take part in what might be ‘sissy’,” said Sally Vraneck, team teacher with Mrs. Ebright. “But, now, they know when it’s time for 4-H and they get really anxious.” Various members of the club varified her statement when asked what they think of 4-H, “I love it,” one announced with glee. “I can’t hardly wait,” added another. die Brahma Bull riding and took home $245 for top mark and top money for a single event for the evening.
