The four children from the Fine family of Sweet Valley — Eva, Sela, Devon and Kayla — are mov- ing up to more challenging cate- gories, said their father David Fine. The owner of nine horses thinks of it as a family affair. “To show horses takes a lot of time, commitment and prepara- tion,” said Fine. “It’s a yearlong af- fair with no breaks, not even on Christmas Day. The kids learn re- sponsibility, for sure.” Carrie Kieczkajlo, Dallas, rode out of the ring a champion and was the first-place winner in the long stirrup division on her horse Feintly Lucky. A veteran rider and owner of three horses, Kiecz- " kajlo was thrilled with their per- formance. “It’s so much work and some- times I want to sell them all, but today I'm so very impressed with im,” she said. @-: Pugh said her husband as surprised at the financial commitment associated with car- ing for their seven horses. “What's up with all the bills?’ he said to me at first, but he’s so happy with the results,” said Pugh. “Kids turn out strong, in- dependent and confident be- cause this is hard, honest work that teaches responsibility.” Pugh is also the show manager for the annual A.M. Pugh Benefit Horse Show, which will donate proceeds from this year’s event to the Schoonover family — a family of six from Center Moreland who recently lost their mother and home in a fire. “People don’t realize that a lot of the shows benefit other people directly or the communities in some way,” said Pugh, adding that previous shows have helped the SPCA, local fire departments and community activities. The local chapter of 4H in- volved with horse shows — Bri- dles and Grooms — has a commu- nity service component says co- leader Gail Evans. “We're not just about horse shows,” she says. Parents interested in having their children become associated with horses, whether they're horse owners or not, may call 675-0515 or 675-7573 for more in- formation. fon FERTAL LANDSCAPING a 696-5944 Complete Landscape Design and Hardscapes - Specializing in Stonewalls - Paver Walks and Patios - Trimming, Clean-Ups and Mulching.

FORENSICS Continued from Page 1 has gotten first place in our school’s competition every year so far,” the Shaver- town resident said. “I love performing and making people laugh.” The goals of the Dioce- san Forensic League are to encourage students to de- velop public speaking skills, self-confidence, an appreciation for literature and drama, as well as team- work. “I really enjoy working with the children and see- ing them bring the litera- ture to life,” said Lohin who has been the forensics coach for more than 15 years. “They gain the confidence to stand up in front of a group of people, and you can only learn that through experi- ence. Other Gate of Heaven win- ners included fifth-graders Morgan Gilhooley and Alys- sa Joanlanne, who perform- ed “Wayside School” by Louis Sachar. Lohin thinks forensics is a great opportunity for stu- dents to build character. “I had two children this year who were shy and their parents were even con- cerned, but they just came alive on stage,” she said. “They even placed in the competition.” Gate of Heaven School hosted the Scranton Diocesan forensic compe- tition Fron left; Nathan Albrecht, Stephen Ruch and Kyle Wesley are shown rehearsing for their skit.
