“Riding fever” is no respecter of persons. Just ask Andrew Hozier. As a young adult, he approached his first Special Olympics Equestrian Competition half-heartedly. But a win in his C-Level division sparked his confidence and determination. He set a goal to be an A-Level rider in two years—and accomplished his objective, finding purpose and learning responsibil-ity along the way. Equestrian is one of the 12 Olympic-type sports offered by Special Olympics of New Mex-ico to children and adults with intellectual disabilities, who deserve to live the message of in-clusion, acceptance, possibility and hope. The program is made possible by the volunteer coaches, horse handlers, and parents, along with the generous folks who lend their horses to these special riders—all free of charge. There are Special Olympic Equestrian teams throughout New Mexico. Although riding horses provides a combination of sensory, motor, physical and neurological input for riders, these teams are not social clubs or therapeutic riding programs. The main focus is training for life through sports. All athletes are required to engage in extensive training for a minimum of eight weeks prior to competition. Most train year-round. The Area 5 Special Olympics Equestrian Competition is held at Rockin’ Horse Ranch in Stanley, where Lonnie and Patty Wright donate the use of the facility. Sam James makes the

final tack check to ensure the safety of the riders. Many other volunteers, sporting bandanas, do everything from feeding spectators to awarding ribbons to riders. This year’s August 24th event included 16 riders from 3 teams, spanning ages from 8 to almost 60. All of these confident, competitive folk demonstrate the addictive, transforming power of the Special Olympic Equestrian program. If you (or your horse!) would like to volunteer with this program, details are avail-able on the Special Olympic website: www.sonm.org.

It’s Firewood Season It's that season again when we start to think about and pre-pare for the change in weather. If you use fuelwood as your source of heat, you may be thinking about your winter's sup-ply of firewood. Here are some things to look for:

Seasoned means that your wood has been properly dried and is ready to burn. Ask the vendor when the wood was cut. Wood cut to length (16"-24") typically takes up to six months to dry. Wood that has been cut and split will dry faster. Hard woods take longer to dry than soft woods. Wood not properly dried (green) still has a lot of moisture, so energy for heating is lost to evaporating water prior to the wood burning.

Type of wood used for heating will vary. After several sea-sons of burning firewood, you may develop a preference for one type over another. You may consider sound and smell in addition to how fast the wood burns. Hard woods will have more energy value and burn longer than soft woods. They can also produce less ash for clean up. This means that you can expect to pay more for the same amount for hard wood than you will for soft wood. Mixed loads will allow you to quickly start your fire with soft wood and then top it off with heavier logs before you go to bed. Energy value charts and wood comparisons can be found quickly on the internet to help you in your decision.

Amounts of wood can be tricky and probably the most intimi-dating part of buying wood. Many people end up with "short loads" and don't even realize it. To get the best value for your money, see your wood when it is stacked. By law, firewood in New Mexico must be sold by a unit of measure called a cord. NMAC 21.16.4.9.K states, “Fuelwood: Shall be advertised, offered for sale, and sold only by the cord or fractional part of a cord, except it may be sold by weight if the seller declares the price per unit of weight and the equivalent price per cord." A cord is equivalent to 128 cubic feet. That means a cord is a stack of wood that is 4' wide by 4' high by 8' long (4'x4'x8'). For refer-ence, the bed of a full-sized pick-up truck with wood stacked to the height of the bed is about a 1/2 cord. If you don't see your wood while stacked, be sure you have the vendor's contact information. Once you stack it at home, you can always contact them if you feel you've been shorted.

Enjoy the season and stay safe. Next month: Helpful hints for storage, safety and how to save money.

Fun, Food & Firearms for a Good Cause! The Edgewood Civitan Club is producing the first annual “Civitan Bean Valley Gun Show” October 12th and 13th at the Moriarty Civic Center, Moriarty, NM. This fund-raiser is a family friendly event with food, speakers and door prizes. Times and admission fees can be found in the ad below. Safety First! All firearms must be unloaded and secured with plastic ties prior to entering the show. All Federal, State and local firearm ordinances and laws must be obeyed. Let’s have a fun time and be safe. The goal is to benefit the Moriarty High School Constitution class, whose students competed and won in state competition this year and went on to the Na-tional competition in Washington, DC. Let’s help them do it again! While you’re there, stop across the street and buy your new crop pinto beans at the Pinto Bean Festival on Saturday (some details on Calendar, page 3).

The Edgewood Civitan Club is a chapter of Civitan International, a worldwide, all volunteer, non-profit service organization where men and women have an organized way of approaching local com-munity problems through service and fund raising. For more infor-mation: www.edgewood.civitan.net
