DEAR ABBY: A few years ago. I
discovered an incredible need teachers
have The day after school ended. I had
» couple of free hours and impulsively
stopped by the school and offered to
help my daughter's teacher pack up for
the summer You would have thought I
donated an organ'
t What 1 did was not hard: We took
down bulletin boards, packed books,
etc. It was quite enjoyable.
Before school began in the fall. I of-
fered my services again, but this time
"my 18- and 1.'-year-old daughters join-
ed me The teachers nearly named a
day after us. We cleaned cubbies, ar-
ranged desks, cut out shapes and set out
supplies
It doesn’t matter if you have one
hour or four It makes a difference
The most wonderful part was my
daughters telling the teachers they had
no idea how much work teachers de-
vote to preparing for their pupils.
I recommend this as a wonderful
volunteer opportunity The added bene-
fit was exposing my teen-agers to the
"behind-the-scenes'' activities of these
energetic, committed professional
teachers. — Karen Warren.
Gainesville, Fla.
DEAR KAREN: A terrific idea.
Everyone's a winner when everyone
chips in. but why stop there ^
Schools welcome the continual in-
volvement of parents in their children's
education, and that involvement results
in more diligent students
DEAR ABBY: I read in this morn-
ing’s paper the letter from the para-
medic who was called to the home
where the little boy drowned. It was a
sad letter that made my heart ache.
We have a fence around our pool
and keep the gate securely locked. Our
son knows how to swim and follows
the safety rules we have established.
1 thought I was a responsible pool
owner — until last Mother's Day. We
had inv ited friends over for a cookout
and swimming party. We ate in shifts so
Jn adult would always be with the chil-
dren as they swam.
ff
My friend and I were eating pool-
side: her husband was in the pool with
the children All four of the little ones
(under 5) had taken swimming lessons
and were good swimmers My friend's
son was floating on a kickboard.
We looked away for a moment and
w hen we looked back, he was now here
to be seen. We moved the kickboard.
and there he was. trying to come up for
air! Somehow. I managed to reach in
and grab him.
We were lucky. He had been hold-
ing his breath In a few more seconds,
he would have drowned. All this hap-
pened in three feet of water, three feet
from me. and with five adults in the
pool area.
Since then, we have added new
rules: We now have at least one adult
watcher for every three children. This
person must be alert at all times and
watch the children. We rotate so the
same adult isn't always the watcher. If
a child cannot swim, he or she must
wear a life vest, and the parents are re-
sponsible for their children the entire
time they are in the pool.
Abby, a fence around a pool and a
locked gate are mandatory. We had a
close call we will never forget. Safety
rules must not only be established, but
strenuously observed. — I. if (-guarding
Mom in Phoenix
DEAR MFEGUARDING MOM:
There is no telling how many lives you
may have saved today because you
took the time to write.
Thank you for pointing out that it is
not enough to be in the vicinity of a
pool — or other body of water — w hen
children are in it. The children must be
watched closely at all times.

Judge to decide whether horse is vehicle
BERRYVILLE, Ark. (AP) — A
judge will decide whether a man is
guilty of driving while intoxicated af-
ter figuring out if the man’s horse is a
motor vehicle.
After trial Thursday, Municipal
Court Judge Kent Coxsey told lawyers
in the misdemeanor DWI case against
Jeffrey Baldridge to submit written ar-
guments in the case, including their
definition of motor vehicles.
Baldridge was charged by a state
trooper with driving while intoxicated
after the horse he was riding was
struck by a car in August on U.S. 62.
Baldridge also was charged with care-
less and imprudent driving and driv-
ing with no liability insurance.
The maximum penalty for a DWI-
first offense conviction is one year in
jail and a $1,000 fine.
Deputy Prosecutor Theresa
Nazario said Thursday that state DWI
laws should not be strictly construed
to apply only to cars, trucks and other
vehicles, but should apply to any
means of transportation, including
horses or mules.
She said the DWI law was not
clear on the meaning of vehicle, but
the state's case relies on the legal def-
inition of a vehicle as “any device that
can carry or transport a person or
property on a roadway."
A motor vehicle is "any vehicle
that is self-propelled," she said. "Well,
a horse is self-propelled."
And in fact when people ask about
motors, they refer to horsepower, she
said.
Baldridge was on his horse in the
road about 9:30 p.m. Aug. 9, she said.
He was “very intoxicated" and mo-
torists couldn't see him or his horse.
Several motorists had to swerve
around him and Jaclynn King of
Harrison, who was driving and had
her baby asleep in the backseat, struck
the horse.
"There was no avoiding hitting
him,” Nazario said.

medical bills for injuries she received
total $6,400, Nazario said.
The child was not hurt, and the
horse survived.
Nazario said Baldridge took
breathalyzer tests that showed his
blood-alcohol levels to be below the
legal limit used in drunken driving
cases, but she said the machine was
not functioning properly.
Defense lawyer Cindy Baker said
the prosecution was trying to apply
law that is vague or that does not ap-
ply jo the case.
“In order to be punished for a
criminal offense, the due process re-
quirement of the Constitution requires
that the offense be specific,” she said.
She said a horse obviously is not a
motor vehicle.
"A motor vehicle is by all com-
mon-sense definitions a vehicle that
contains a motor," Baker said. But
“the state says that if you ride a horse
or a mule that you are operating a mo-
tor vehicle. Also, that all owners of
horses in Carroll County should be re-
quired to carry liability insurance."
Baker noted that Baldridge volun-
tarily submitted to the breathalyzer
tests and that the results were between
0.007 percent and 0.008 percent, well
below the legal limit of 0.10. She also
said that, under state law, motorists
must yield to horses who get spooked
on the roads.
In addition. Baker said that King
was turned around, tending to her ba-
by, when she hit the horse.
Kansas and North Carolina courts
have found that DWI laws can apply
to people traveling by horse. If ap-
pealed to higher courts, the Baldridge
case would set a precedent in
Arkansas, Nazario said.
Jury recommends
life imprisonment
for Mayes County
couple for murder
PRYOR (AP) — A Mayes
County couple will be formally sen-
tenced June 21 after a jury convicted
the pair of first-degree murder in the
1999 death of their adoptive son.
The panel returned guilty verdicts
against John and Gilda Schoonover
late Wednesday after nearly 12 hours
of deliberation. Jurors recommended
they be sentenced to life in prison
with the possibility of parole for
causing the death of Benjamin
Michael Schoonover.
Benjamin. 2, died Oct. 31, 1999.
two days after he was taken to Mayes
County Medical Center. Benjamin
suffered swelling of the brain caused
by blunt trauma to the head. He had a
fracture to the back of his head and
bleeding from tom blood vessels be-
tween his brain and skull. The in-
juries were caused by a solid object,
officials said.
Mrs. Schoonover, 50, said she
heard a thud, then found the boy ly-
ing on his back, unconscious, unre-
sponsive and experiencing seizuies
on their rock tile floor. She said she
had been preparing dinner in the
kitchen and talking to her mother on
the telephone and Schoonover. 63,
was watering flowers outside.
State medical professionals said
Benjamin's injuries were consistent
with having been thrown against a
wall and shaken or slammed against
a hard surface.
