Calaveras Sheriff Volunteers provided traffic control for the 3rd annual Copperopolis Veterans Day Parade



 
            Calaveras Sheriff Volunteer Sgt. Bob Fienberg and six other Sheriff Volunteers (Lt. Ed Anderson, Lyle Bradt, Sgt. Ralph Carlascio, Louis Chiu, Ed Evans and Pat Toepel) provided traffic control during the Veteran’s Day Parade in Copperopolis on Veteran’s Day.  These Sheriff Volunteers, many of whom are veterans themselves, take pride in honoring the veterans for their service and sacrifice to this beautiful nation. The parade was well attended and all enjoyed the beautiful weather in such a memorable public event.  

            The Calaveras County Sheriff Volunteer Unit continues to need more volunteers to assist various communities in holding public events in Calaveras County. Serious-minded Calaveras County citizens, retired or semi-retired, wishing to help their community and meeting the qualifications and requirements are encouraged to apply by calling the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office at (209) 754-5600, or visit sheriff@calaveras.ca.us.  Seniors are welcome and no law enforcement experience is necessary.
 
           

Help Harmony Ranch help more children with special needs - Sponsor a Therapeutic Horse

We at Harmony Ranch are looking for donors to help with the cost of keeping a lesson horse for one year. The cost for a year is 3500.00; basic horse care needs include feed, proper hoof care and supplements (this does not include veterinary expenses). With this donation you will be helping us towards our goal of maintaining 8 to 12 lesson horses.

Harmony Ranch, Inc. has had the honor of providing therapeutic riding services to our community since 2011.  The results have been amazing for us as well as our students. Our services target children and adults with disabilities as well as the economically compromised in our community. At Harmony Ranch we have a goal to be of service to as many people in need as we can facilitate but none of this can be accomplished with out our horses, they are the corner stone of our program. The horses make all of our results possible.  We have seen that the horse-student relationship is helping to build independence, socialization skills, community integration, mobility, confidence, self esteem, trust, physical strength and dexterity to name a few in all of our students. These life skills are key for the students to heal in partnership with our Horses.
