Horsewoman rides for handicapped
(Continued from Page 822)
“There is a definate freedom in
riding,” Paulette states. “After
seeing what they (the riding
program instructors and horses)
did and how it helped, I found out
how much it was needed,” she
says. “If they can use the horse to
benefit these people, then I’m
willing to help them,” she adds.
After riding for 35 hours,
Paulette looked exhausted. She
had ridden through a severe wind
and thunderstorm in the area the
night before. Her eyes had swelled
shut from the dust in the arena
during the storm. To cool herself
during the hot, humid days and
nights, Paulette poured buckets of
water over herself. She ex
perienced changes in tem
peratures that would cause anyone
to become sick. At this time, she
was trying to overcome severe leg
cramps that had caused the
muscles in her thighs to swell and
were very painful.
“I just won’t quit,” she said
when asked if she was going to
make her 100 hour goal.
Paulette’s fiance, Bobby Paul,
confessed that this attempt to
break the record was his idea.
“I guess it’s kinda my fault,” he
said. When Paul heard about the
Rajah Shrine Mounted Patrol and
their attempts to raise money for
the handicapped, he approached
them with this idea for Paulette to
lend her support.
“I thought, should we do another
one?” said Bobby Paul, Paulette’s
standby throughout the ordeal. “It
takes a lot out of her,” he adds.
Paulette says, “that’s the hard
part, I know what’s coming,”
referring to her previous attempts.

But this pair was serious about
using the ride to benefit han
dicapped children. Paulette
stressed that crippled children and
the handicapped riding program
needs help. She said that riding
teaches the handicapped balance,
increases the range of joint
movements, and helps the men
tally retarded in their con
centration.
One of the highlights of this
attempt for Paulette was a visit
from a young friend of hers. In
1982, at the end of her second
record-breaking ride to benefit the
handicapped riding program,
Paulette was brought a crippled
four-year-old boy in braces. He
asked her if he could ride the last
three-hour interval with her.
Together, Paulette and her new
friend, Eric, finished that 1982
ride. On Wednesday, June 13th,
sometime after Paulette had
begun this try, Eric showed up in
Shartlesville. Paulette did not
know that he was coming and she
had not seen him for a long time.
What made her almost break down
was that Eric showed her that he
can walk now. He had taken the
first steps since crippled and still
had the love of riding that Paulette
had given to him.
Paulette was successful. Not
only did she break previous
records for endurance riding but,
she raised a substantial sum for
the handicapped riding program
as well. She also gained much
admiration. Each day many
people stopped by to see her riding.
Many Berks Countians smile
when talking about this attempt,
which made them realize what it
must mean to a handicapped child
to be able to ride a horse.

Mulches can benefit gardens
Summer mulches can benefit
gardens and gardeners. The most
obvious reasons for using mulches
are to reduce weed problems and
conserve soil moisture. Mulches
also protect soil by reducing wind
and water erosion and compaction
from rain. They shade the soil,
moderating soil temperature.
Mulches also help keep plants
clean and reduce diseases.
For maximum benefit, select
appropriate mulch materials and
use them correctly. In the
vegetable and flower garden, salt
hay is a good choice because it is
weed-free. Grass clippings are
acceptable but do contain weed
seeds. (If lawns were treated with
an herbicide, do NOT use clippings
until the fourth mowing.) Straw
makes good mulch but extra
nitrogen may be needed in the
garden where it’s used. Chopped or
half-rotted leaves are okay; whole
leaves tend to pack and are not
recommended. Peat moss is good
in the soil but has disadvantages
used as mulch. It can blow around
and when it is very dry it becomes
water repellent.
Wood and bark chips are good
choices for mulching shrubs, trees
and other permanent plantings
because they decompose very
slowly. In the vegetable and flower
garden they will interfere with
annual soil preparation.
Black plastic is an effective
mulch material which can help
warm soil and perhaps give a hard
start on the growing season. It
must be laid down over thoroughly
moist soil; however, and it is
probably best used in combination
with trickle irrigation systems.
There are some cautions that
need to be added to a discussion of
mulches. Except for the black
plastic, they should not be put
down too early - especially on
crops like tomatoes, peppers,
eggplants, and melons that need

warm soil. Delay or avoid
mulching very wet soils. Build a
mulch of grass clippings slowly in
layers; a heavy single application
will generate heat and an un
pleasant odor. Slug problems can
be aggravated by mulches which
provide an ideal habitat for those
garden pests.
All Cooperative Extension programs are
offered without regard to race, color, national
origin, sex or handicap.
