Ranch in Elizabeth uses animals as a form of therapy

By Geraldine Smith Special to Colorado Community Media

Suzy MacKenzie became involved in the care and ownership of horses as a young girl, fashioning a lifelong passion.

“As a child, I always wanted to be a horse,” said MacKenzie, founder and executive director of the Eagle’s Nest Ranch in Elizabeth.

As a missionary in South America, she discovered an equally compel-ling desire to help people. Eagle’s Nest is the marriage of her love of people and horses, coupled with an enduring concern for their welfare.

The name of the ranch was the

natural choice when she was inspired by an eagle’s nest atop a pole as she was searching for the perfect name for her project. MacKenzie knew she wanted to offer her services to military families, and not only was the eagle the symbol of the U.S. military, but a nest represents a haven for nurturing and a place from which to soar when the time was right. The phrase “Soar-ing Above Adversity” is the ultimate goal for her clients, and that sentiment is peppered throughout the literature advertising the ranch.

Above all, MacKenzie says the mes-sage of Eagle’s Nest is, “There is always hope.”

Eagle’s Nest’s mission is to connect people in need of support with horses and to inspire those facing adversity,

County offi ces, schools, businesses close as harsh weather moves in

By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media

With winds gusting to over 40 mph and visibility down to less than 50 feet, area schools canceled classes, many local busi-nesses shut their doors and county offi ces closed, turning employees loose early so they could make it home before the worst of the blizzard hit March 23.

The Elbert County News caught up with some folks in Kiowa the day after the blizzard to see how they weathered the storm and spent their snow day.

Abandoned vehicles make the mission tougher in Elbert County

By Rick Gustafson Special to Colorado Community Media

It was a tale of two storms in the days leading up to Easter — the fi rst storm a lion, the second a lamb.

“The visibility, I’ve never seen anything like it out here,” said Elizabeth Fire Chief T.J. Steck about the fast-moving blizzard that ripped through the state on March 23, forcing multiple closures and creating treacherous driving condi-tions along the Front Range and Eastern Plains.

The visibility In Elbert County was so bad that when a family of fi ve from St. Louis went off the road, they called 911 and were res-cued by the Elbert County Sherriff’s Offi ce snow cat, a truck-like vehicle that moves on tracks, much like a tank.

It was only the next day when Elizabeth fi re crews returned the

The Outlets at Castle Rock was packed with bunny-ears-wearing, pancake-eating kids March 25. More than 500 children and parents came out for the sixth annual Easter Bunny Breakfast. “We just really enjoyed com-ing last year,” said Parker resident Jamie Murphy, who attended the event again this year with her daughter. “It’s a great opportunity to meet up with friends and see the Easter Bunny.” The morning included free pancakes from Flippin’ Flapjacks, face painting, a magic show and a visit from the Easter Bunny.

be tossed into a snowbank by her son.“We had these big drifts in front of

our house, and my 18-year-old just threw me in,” she said with a laugh.

The two made snow angels before heading inside to wait out the storm, watching movies and playing card games.

“Not at all,” said Bruce Rye of Elbert about the storm’s effect on his day.

Rye’s snow day proceeded pretty much as he’d planned. Following a move to town six months ago, he and his wife had planned to stay home to paint their kitchen March 23.

With painting supplies already in hand, the only trip Rye needed to make on March 23 was a post-paint-ing run to the corner store to pick up beer for himself and the two friends who helped out with the job.

County employee Rachel Buchan-an took her time to make the drive to her home in Elbert. Typically only a 13-minute drive, the 10-mile com-mute took Buchanan more than 35 minutes.

She spent the remainder of the day with her teenage kids, who were both off for spring break, playing card games and baking a cake.

Fellow county employee Sherry Hewlett picked her way around abandoned cars for an hour and a half to complete her 40-mile trip home to Calhan, but the trek between her car and front door may have been the worst part of the trip.

“The wind was blowing so hard that I got soaking wet between the car and the house,” she said.

Once safely inside and dried off, Hewlett spend the afternoon playing with her grandson.

Keri Becklund, owner of Hair Ad-

dicts in Kiowa, closed her doors, but not because of the blizzard. She had made plans for the day, but the storm foiled those. Closed roads prevented her from picking up her daughter in Colorado Springs, and her tax accoun-tant canceled.

She spent the day binge-watching

episodes of “The Walking Dead” and “Sons of Anarchy.” Becklund was finally able to pick up her daughter early on March 24.

“The roads were still terrible,” she said. “My daughter counted at least 10 cars off the road between Castle Rock and Kiowa.”

Rachel Buchanan said her typical 13-minute commute extended to more than 35 minutes during the storm.

Keri Backlund closed her hair salon for the day and decided to binge-watch TV instead.

family to their car did they realize their vehicle was stuck near a drive-way leading to a house less than 100 feet away.

“The driveway was not 2 feet from their car,” said Fire Marshal Kara Gerczynski. “They had no idea there was a house there. They couldn’t see the house. They thought they were in the middle of absolutely nowhere.”

The National Weather Service issued blizzard warnings early in the week and county agencies began staffing ahead of the storm, which ended up dumping 20 inches or more of snow in many areas of the county.

“We’re planning 24 to 48 hours out. Winter storms are awesome, because we have time to plan,” Steck said. “We try to staff up enough so that we can staff an ambulance and an engine at each station, and have a full crew on our snow cat.”

Two agencies within the county operate snow cats. The other is the Elbert County Sheriff’s Office, and both were acquired four years ago through the 1033 Program, a Depart-ment of Defense surplus program created in 1997 to transfer retired military equipment to civilian agen-cies.

Both cats were in full use dur-ing last week’s blizzard, rescuing stranded motorists and responding to emergency calls in places cut off to ambulances and the department’s Humvees.

“At some point, the engines get pretty cumbersome to get out in the snow, and the worst thing we can do is stick a $400,000 fire engine into the ditch,” Steck said. “So typically, the engine crew will pull off the engine and go to the snow cat for medical (missions).”

In addition to responding to five emergency calls, 44 nonemergency calls, and one structure fire, crews also checked and tagged more than 30 abandoned vehicles with 3-foot strips of fire-line tape identifying them as unoccupied.

“As they made their trek through all of these (calls) they were checking every car,” Gerczynski said.

One of the biggest challenges for first responders during the storm was the number of motorists who disregarded road closures.

“We have lots of cars that are breaking through those road clo-sures to get home. The cars just couldn’t make it. So they stopped and literally blocked the road,” said Gerczynski.

The extra cars blocked ambulance access to emergency calls, including one involving an infant, adding to first-responder workloads, as well as making it more difficult for county road crews to plow.

Steck praised the coordination between fire departments as well as the county’s response, especially noting the work of the Elbert County Office of Emergency Management and Public Works for their efforts to keep the roads clear.

Another, much lighter round of snow moved in March 25, continuing into March 26, bringing little in the way of disruption.

Parker boy’s dog enjoys early success at show

By Chris Michlewiczcmichlewicz@colorado communitymedia.com

Dog owners know that when it comes to getting their furry friends to obey a command, treats can be a powerful thing.

Ryan Miller, 12, of Parker, has first-hand experience in the magical influence of treats. He’s known to carry chicken breast, raw venison and even Cheerios in his pocket for his star pupil, a 1-year-old miniature schnauzer named Kid.

So powerful are these delicacies — along with Miller’s gentle coaxing — that Kid placed second out of 30 entries at the 21st annual Rocky Mountain Cluster Dog Show at the National Western Com-

plex in February.Aside from treats, however, Kid seems

to genuinely enjoy the spotlight. The judges took notice when he presented a noble “stack” — a stance with precise angulation — in the ring, and they ad-mired his stately gait. Plus, the miniature schnauzer avoided breaking one of the cardinal rules: no barking.

Miller and Kid started out by attending confirmation classes for show training in Littleton. The partners would attend multiple times per week.

“First, you have to get them used to be-ing up on the tables,” Miller said.

Most schoolkids wouldn’t have the op-portunity to put so much work into what many consider to be a weekend hobby.

QUIET DESPERATION

WINNING WORDS

No worries, no pressure, no problem.Much easier said than done, right? I mean

who doesn’t worry, who feels no pressure, and who among us doesn’t have any problems?

There are a few old sayings and quotes that I rely on when I am feeling worried, stressed, or pressured and that usually bring me back to center, “Wait to worry,” “Don’t sweat the small stuff, because it’s all small stuff,” and “Panic is your worst enemy.” There are many more, but those are my “go to” self-help lines.

I am often asked about what it’s like to be a coach or motivational speaker and if I ever have those same down days or stressful and pressure packed moments or seasons of life. Some people wonder if I ever really get upset or angry, assuming I just go through life with an easy and even temperament all the time. You know, smooth sailing and never having my boat rocked.

Well I can share with you that just like every one of you reading this column, I too have my moments of anger, frustration, worry, stress, doubt and fear. And never mind about smooth sailing and never rocking the boat, sometimes it all happens at once like a tidal wave crushing down upon me. Have you been there yourself? Maybe not every-thing at once, but I am confi dent that we have all shared some of the very same feel-ings and emotions.

So the natural progression of the con-

versation turns into a question as someone might ask me how I personally deal with those feelings, emo-tions and situations. I will share with you what I have shared with them.

Wait to worry. Statistics say that 98 percent of things that we worry about are not worth worrying about at all. They have either already happened and now we just have to work through and

past the fallout; what we worry about actu-ally turns out to be an opportunity instead of a threat or problem; worrying will never change the outcome, it will actually limit our ability to see and think clearly enough to address the situation; or the things we are worrying about will actually never happen. So wait to worry.

Don’t sweat the small stuff, and it’s all small stuff. Have you ever noticed how one simple little problem can escalate to a mas-sive issue in our own mind? We sometimes have a tendency to get so focused on the little situations, tasks, and events that we lose sight of all of the beauty and wonderful

things surrounding us. We get caught up on the little faults of our friends, family, and co-workers that we forget all about the incred-ible gifts and talents they have to offer. When we sweat the small stuff we will fi nd even more small stuff to sweat. When we look for the good, we will fi nd the good things in life to celebrate.

Panic is your worst enemy. How many times have we jumped to conclusions and fell victim to our fears and doubts? We get so entrenched in the fear that we cannot possi-bly feel hopeful or see a positive outcome or resolution. Panic also clouds our judgment and ability to respond properly. When we panic we tend to overreact to the situation at hand. When calm replaces panic it gives birth to hope. And when we have hope and live with hope our actions and attitudes refl ect that hope and we can fi nd our way out of the worry, pressure and problems that we face.

How about you? Can you wait to worry, stop sweating the small stuff, and replace panic with calm? I would love to hear all about it at [email protected] and when we can minimize the worry, pressure, and problems in our lives, it really will be a better than good week.

Prudent fallbacks prevent freak-outs

“Shout, shout, let it all out, these are the things I can do without.”

What’s on your list? Mine is long and irrel-evant, but in idle moments it’s an interesting contemplation.

Conversely there are plenty of things I cannot do without, memories mostly, like the fi rst time I ate a cookie.

We lived on Beach Street in Mount Mor-ris, Michigan, which is about as far from the beach as it gets.

My mother said, “Son, this is a cookie.”A few years later, we drove to a rural

home near Uniontown, Pennsylvania.I was 5.The homeowner opened her screen door,

and out came a bunch of little, red, wiggling animals.

“Son, those are dachshunds. Choose one.”

whether it be divorce, PTSD, or any other emotional trauma. According to MacKen-zie, spending time with the horses helps the healing begin.

Horses are her therapeutic animals of choice because, she says, “They do not have an agenda but are in the moment and respond to each person according to the chemistry of the encounter, judging if they feel safe and can trust the individual. If a person is too aggressive or acting in an odd manner the horse will retreat.”

Military families are an integral part of her plans for the ranch. Prior to establish-ing the ranch, she worked for a non-profi t organization in charge of military programs, assisting military families by fi nding corresponding programs for their needs. Working with the military gave her insight into the challenges the military family faces, especially those touched by combat.

“When the soldiers are discharged, especially those returning from deploy-ment, they are disconnected from a whole community.” she said.

It is her goal to give soldiers a sanc-tuary where they can interact with the animals and feel connected again. Heal-ing Horses for the Armed Forces is open to veterans, active duty and their families free of charge.

MacKenzie sees many similarities between the structure of the herd and the military. There exists a hierarchy in both. Just as the combat soldier defends each of his brothers, a horse in the wild guards every other horse in the herd against predators.

Chris Boyle, a Marine and veteran of Desert Storm, said, “Spending time at Eagle’s Nest has brought me a sense of peace I have not felt in a long time.”

“The peace comes from the neces-sity of being calm around the horses and learning to act a certain way in their pres-ence,” Boyle said.

The horse’s response is a barometer for him to know what signals he may be giv-ing off and adjust his actions accordingly.

He wants others to know about the program.

“I encourage other vet-erans to come out and give it a try,” he said. “The fi rst step to healing is to take that step.”

Each horse has a story, from Blue being rescued from near starvation and abuse to Honey, a gentle horse, donated by a woman who wanted to help veter-ans.

MacKenzie tells newcom-ers each horse’s story and al-lows them to work with their horse of choice. She fi nds visitors gravitate to the horse whose story resonates with them because of their own experiences.

For instance, Lucy, once a wild mustang, born and raised in the wild, is the horse veterans often approach fi rst. Somehow Lucy understands the needs of the veteran, and though slow to trust, she will bond quickly with a veteran, MacK-enzie said.

One veteran with PTSD simply asked to spend time with Lucy and walked up to the mare, throwing her arm over Lucy’s back and resting her head against the horse’s mane. Lucy seemed to sense her need and continued to stand still even after the halter was removed.

Children from Sun Valley Youth Center for at-risk youth in downtown Denver,

captivated by Blue’s story of neglect, bonded with her immediately. Whether it was empathy or sympathy, the children adopted her and are anxious about her wel-fare, bringing her gifts each time they visit. MacKenzie said the children identify with Blue’s struggle to sur-vive despite adversity.

As with all participants, the children’s sessions at the ranch begin with basic care of the horses, and the remainder of the 90 minutes is spent interacting with the

animals. Each participant is paired with a trained mentor to be sure they get the most out of the experience. Very little rid-ing is done, because the intent is to spend the majority of the time relating on the ground. Sessions can be scheduled on a regular basis, or as often as needed, when space permits and the sessions continue

to be benefi cial.Eagle’s Nest is nonprofi t organization

and is funded by donations.“It is important to me that we continue

to offer this free of charge,” MacKenzie said.

Volunteers are also welcome and can

volunteer according to their talents. There is always a need for help at the barn, but some work can be done from home or out in the community promoting the program.

MacKenzie will begin sessions again in May.

The growth of American Sign Language allows greater communication with deaf residents

By Shanna [email protected]

For many deaf men and women, com-munication barriers make living in a suburb hard. Lack of public transit and

non-communication jobs push those in the deaf community away from the suburbs and into more urban areas. But that is changing in Douglas County, thanks to the robust American Sign Language program in Douglas County high schools.

“ASL is the true language of the deaf,” said Nadelle Payne, who lost her hearing at age 2 af-ter a case of spinal meningitis. (Interviews with Payne were conducted through an interpreter and email.)

“It was a blow to my family,” she said. “But they took control of the situation by learning sign language and putting me in a good school with sign language support.”

Nadelle Payne speaks to her American Sign Language students at Castle View High School. Payne is one of a handful of deaf teachers in Douglas County.

12-Sports

SPORTSLOCAL

By Jim [email protected]

Coaches and managers at all levels of baseball — from Little League to the major leagues — have become

concerned about the overuse of pitchers’ arms. The number of pitches thrown, or the pitch count, is monitored closely in the hope of preventing injuries.

The Colorado High School Activities Association put a pitch-count rule into effect this season that mandates periods of rest for a player depending on the number of pitches thrown in a game.

CHSAA abandoned its previous rule that limited pitchers to no more than 12 innings on three consecutive days but had no pitch maximum.

“The trainer I always go to keeps tell-ing us we need to keep our arms healthy,” said Cherry Creek senior right-hander Carter Van Gytenbeek. “At the age we are at and how we are developing, and we’re still growing, I feel like the pitch limit is kind of acceptable to a point.”

CHSAA has set the limit at 110 pitches in varsity games and 85 for junior varsity play, and it requires three days of rest for pitchers who hit those thresholds.

Adhering to the pitch limit isn’t always easy.

In an early season game, Arapahoe senior right-hander Desmond Pineda allowed just one run and struck out eight batters, helping the Warriors to a 2-1 lead over Regis Jesuit.

He had thrown 100 pitches, close to the limit, and didn’t pitch in the seventh inning. Arapahoe lost 7-3.

“The pitch limit is something you have to get used to,” Pineda said. “It was hard for me to sit in the dugout when I knew I could have gone another inning or two. I could have went out there another inning and got the win.”

Van Gytenbeek understood Pineda’s frustration.

“That was a tough situation to be in, but it’s also smart because you don’t want to throw out a kid’s arm this early in the season,” he said.

Coaches weigh inMany coaches agree with the intent of

the new rule.“Safety of the arms — that’s what it’s

all about,” Mountain Vista coach Ron Quintana said.

“I’m fine with that pitch limitation,” Cherry Creek coach Marc Johnson said.

Littleton coach Bob Bote said there shouldn’t be a concern about overworked high school pitchers because coaches should already be monitoring the situa-tion.

“I really baby my pitchers at this age when they are still growing and develop-ing,” he said.

The count, however, remains an issue since many pitchers also play for club teams, increasing the workload on their arms.

“All of baseball is trying to figure out

the solution, and I don’t really know if anybody knows the answer,” said Jerry Scavarda, an area professional scout for the Miami Marlins. “With all the club teams, kids are playing year-round now. They are definitely playing more games.”

There are limits to what a high school coach can do to prevent overextended pitchers, Horizon coach Ralph Garcia said.

“What happens now is kids switch from high school to clubs during the summer,” he said. “So many kids are go-ing deeper into the year and maybe their arms are getting worn out.

“We don’t know how much a pitcher is throwing for club. Besides what they do at

school, they go to these private instruc-tors and we don’t know how many pitches they are throwing there. There are a lot of factors there, and more than the CHSAA put in place.”

Working arm in armThe new pitch limits may push teams

to develop more depth on the mound in case weather postponements force mul-tiple games in a week. The state playoffs often have teams playing three games in two days.

“Guys that don’t develop depth in their pitching staff, it hurts them,” Johnson said. “So if they are relying on one or two guys — and a lot of high schools like to do that — it’s going to hurt them a little bit.”

Quintana said the rule will encourage teams to develop a third starter they can count on in the postseason.

“In the long run, what the pitch count does for us is gets guys playing experi-ence and big-game experience,” he said, “so if you make the playoffs, you know you have some guys to pitch.”

Run totals will rise as teams struggle to develop that depth, Garcia predicts.

“You are going to see scores go in the (teens) and 20s because you are going to have JV pitchers pitching varsity games.”

Taking it to the limit

Lookingback atlast year

Rock Canyon used three pitchers last season to move through the Class 5A playoffs and win the state champion-ship.

If this year’s pitch-limita-tion rules would have been in place during last season’s playoffs, the Jaguars still would have won the title.

In a 3-2 loss to Mountain Vista on May 16, Josh White threw 77 pitches. On May 17, Chris Given’s pitch count was 92 in a 7-6 win over Pine Creek, and on that same day Bryce Dietz threw 79 pitches in a 5-1 win over Cherry Creek.

Then on May 26 in a con-tinuation of the double-elim-ination tournament, Dietz threw 93 pitches and Given 25 in a 7-6 triumph over Chat-field. Given came back May 27 with 94 pitches in a 2-1 victory that eliminated Moun-tain Vista. In the second game on May 27, White hurled a 97-pitch, 9-2 seven-inning conquest of Chatfield in the championship game.

— Jim Benton

THE RULESA look at the number of days of rest a pitcher is required to take after throwing a specified number of pitches under new rules implemented this season by the Colorado High School Activities Association:

Varsity

86-110 pitches: three days

61-85 pitches: two days

36-60 pitches: one day

Junior varsity

61-85 pitches: three days

36-60 pitches: two days

26-35 pitches: one day

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?Elbow injuries among pitchers are common throughout the various ranks of baseball.

The following is from a 2014 posi-tion paper by the American Sports Medicine Institute:

“During the past few years there has been an ‘epidemic’ rise in the number of professional pitchers requiring ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (‘Tommy John surgery’). This is like deja vu, as a similar sharp rise was seen in adolescent pitchers near the turn of the century. These two rises are indeed connected; that is, today’s pro pitcher in his 20s was an adolescent pitcher a dozen years ago. Thus in many cases, the injury leading to Tommy John surgery in today’s young pro pitchers actually began while they were adolescent amateurs. Observa-tions by orthopaedic surgeons support this link, as the torn ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in a pro pitcher usually looks like it has worn out over time.

“Research has shown that the amount of competitive pitching and pitching while fatigued are strongly linked to injury. Other risk factors may include pitching on multiple teams, pitching year-round, playing catcher when not pitching, poor pitching mechanics and poor physical conditioning.”

The pitch limit is something you have to get used to. It was hard for me to sit in the dugout when I knew I could have gone another inning or two. I could have went out there another inning and got the win.”

Desmond Pineda, Arapahoe pitcher

“

New pitch-count rules mean keeping track of more than balls and strikes

American Sign Language was offi cially recognized as a language in 1960, but wasn’t accepted as a foreign language option nationally in schools until 2006.

When Castle View High School opened in 2006, so did the ASL program, with a part-time teacher. The next year, Payne took over as a full-time ASL teacher. By the program’s fourth year, there were four ASL teachers.

ThunderRidge, Moun-tain Vista and Highlands Ranch high schools and eDCSD — the district’s online school — also have ASL programs with a mix of hearing and deaf teachers.

Course guides at Little-ton, Arapahoe and Heritage high schools don’t show that sign language is offered as a world language.

Payne, a Castle Rock resi-dent for 15 years, has seen the impact of the school’s ASL program in the com-munity.

“In Littleton, I feel iso-lated there because people don’t sign,” she said. “But

here in Castle Rock, we have such a big program, that almost every restaurant and store has someone that took an ASL class at some point in their high school career.”

The ASL program has created a community of people more open minded to those who are different than themselves, Payne said. “It is so nice to go in restaurants and stores and there is always someone who can communicate with me.”

For students in the program, it’s not only about learning a language, it’s also about communicating with people they know.

Castle View senior Michelle Owens was able to use what she learned in school to sign the maid-of-honor speech at her aunt’s wedding.

Cameron Laing, 17, is learning the language to im-prove communication with his aunt and uncle, who are deaf and live in Florida. He practices by Skyping with them.

“Sign language is abso-lutely beautiful,” said Castle View student Ella Neal, 16. “It’s expressive and beauti-ful, and it’s something close to my heart.”

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) With change dominant this week, don’t be surprised to find new facts emerging that could put another slant on a situation and offer you another choice. Think it through before you decide.

TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) There could be some lingering problems from a previous mat-ter that involved a decision you felt you had to make. Resolve the situation with your strong Taurean no-nonsense approach.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) The Gemini’s carefully made plans could be undone by someone’s unexpected decision. Getting the full story behind that surprise move can help you decide how to deal with the matter.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Recently uncov-ered information might put a new light on a situation you thought had been resolved. Keep an open mind about possible changes that you might have to consider.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) With a potential re-vision of an old agreement, you can’t beat the Big Cat for knowing how to sharpen a “clause” to the best advantage. Someone close could have the news you’ve been waiting for.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Certain issues in the workplace could put you in the middle of a dispute you’d rather not deal with. Express your honest feelings before the pres-sure to take sides builds up.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel uneasy disagreeing with someone you’ve been close to. But your relationship should be able to withstand and even thrive when confronted with your true feelings.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A romantic situation seems to be creating more confusion than you can handle. If so, own up to your feelings. The sooner you do, the better your chances are for working things out.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) With change directing the Archer’s aim, consider a second look at your plans and see where they might benefit from a revision. A workplace matter is close to a resolution.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) New contacts help you learn some important information about upcoming developments. The week calls for the Sea Goat to be more flexible than usual in a number of matters.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) With both change and uncertainty in your aspect, you might feel less confident in a previous de-cision. That’s OK. Check it out and see where it could be modified, if necessary.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Old rela-tionships that seemed to be sinking are buoy-ant again, and new relationships are benefiting from Cupid’s loving care. This could be a good time to make a major move.

BORN THIS WEEK: While you prefer to tread your own path, you’ll go out of your way to help someone in need.

health and art, enabling him to dedicate more time to a worthwhile passion he can share with his family.

Miller attended traditional school through fourth grade, but was getting left behind.

“He had, like, 30 kids in his kinder-garten and fi rst-grade class, which when you’re fi rst setting that foundation for learning, that’s just too many kids,” said his mom, Machelle.

Later, when he transferred to a school

with smaller class sizes, Miller wanted to move forward and conduct research, but was held back because the rest of the class wasn’t moving fast enough.

Now, he has the ability to more forward at his own pace, and has even put in the time and effort to become a second-de-gree black belt in taekwondo on the side. He also teaches the martial art to younger kids two nights per week and gains much-needed socialization from the activity.

Taking Kid to dog shows has become

just as important and has given Miller a purposeful responsibility. His early suc-cess has provided further motivation. His fi rst dog show was in September and the second-place fi nish is impressive by all standards.

Miller loves miniature schnauzers, but has taken more interest in Havanese Pomeranians and Japanese Chins. His ultimate goal is to enter a dog in the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York.
