Cowboy Days creates Opportunities for Local School Children By Allison Renck Community volunteerism was evident all around Chris Thompson’s Twin Creek Ranch on Saturday May 10. From the front gate admission person to the chefs cooking hamburgers, it appeared those that live in Anza and Aguanga were out in full-force supporting area children. The proceeds from the event went to benefit the Art Program at
Cottonwood School, which is run by three women who wanted to keep art in schools when funding became scarce. The three women became good friends and nicknamed themselves “The Three S’s” three years ago. They said they had an interest in sustaining arts in the school, which could no longer afford to offer such programs as a result of budgetary cuts. These three friends: Sacha Hope,
Stephanie Rae Braune and Susan Blankfeld did just that by stepping up as volunteers and finding a way to continue the program. Hope explained that weekly these ladies come into the school and spend approximately an hour and a half teaching art activities to students from first through fifth grades using themes that are part of the Common Core Curriculum. These include such things Native American Art and other cultural art.
The Three S’s spend approximately an hour and a half preparing these lessons and receive no financial compensation for their work. It is purely a labor of love. These ladies alone, without other volunteers to help with the fundraising, provide at least 500 hours of volunteer time which would have a high price tag if assigned a monetary value.
By Allison Renck The history of Turkey shoots dates back to the early 1900’s. There are two types of Turkey Shoots; one shoot consisted of a stationary target, much like a bullseye, that a marksman would shoot at and the person that gets closets to the center won and the other Turkey Shoot is a where a marksmen shoots at a moving target, originally a live turkey. Here in Anza the Lions club continues the tradition of rewarding the best marksmen in a monthly Turkey Shoot. Jeff Hawthorn of Anza Lions explained that he believes the 1st Anza Turkey shoot was held in the 1970’s . Jeff reported the Turkey shoot in Anza is a Trap Shoot that they like to call a fun shoot. This Trap style shoot is where a round disc, called a clay pigeon is launched in the air and the shooter using his shotgun attempts to hit the moving target. Jeff reports he has been involved with the Turkey shoot for approximately 6 years. Allison Renck photo
