Sending a few notes of support to Afghanistan

By Katie V. Jones Posted 5/08/11 http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5405/sending-few-notes-support-afghanistan/ 
As Charlie Phillips pulled the main slide of the trombone before him, a low scraping metal sound emitted from the instrument.

After examining the trombone carefully, Phillips carefully put it back in its case, satisfied.


"A trombone shouldn't sound like that," admitted Phillips, who repairs brass instruments for Stu's Music Shop, in Westminster.
"The major problem here is cleaning it," he said. "There are not many dents. If they're all like this, I'm in luck."
Since the end of April, Phillips and Jim Bankard, who repairs woodwind instruments, have been fixing and fine-tuning instruments that have been donated at Stu's Music, to be sent to Navy Seabees in Afghanistan.
"We've got a pretty nice selection," said Don Myers, co-owner of Stu's, of the instruments. "We get a couple per day. They should be able to make a band."
Last month, Myers was contacted by Chaplain Nathan Boon, for Navy Mobile Construction Battalion 26, deployed at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, who was seeking instruments for his ministry "Holy Notes," which Boon described an e-mail as "a time to learn, play and make a joyful noise." ... http://www.explorecarroll.com/news/5405/sending-few-notes-support-afghanistan/

While doing research on the Baltimore Oriole, Teressa Flinn, 11, learned that the state bird of Maryland likes oranges.


Heather Stearns, 10, learned that a great blue heron has very long legs -- and not all of them are blue. Some are white.


Both Teressa and Heather are fifth-graders at Hampstead Elementary School.


The two students, along with their fellow fifth-grade classmates, were assigned a different Maryland animal to research, and then sketch, for a mural the school is creating entitled, "Our Yard to the Bay in Clay."


"Each (student) had an assignment," said Barbara Hammond, art teacher at Hampstead Elementary. "They really did the research and the sketch. It is very individualized."


Every grade at Hampstead Elementary has contributed to the mural.



Every grade involved in school project to promote environmental awareness..

PORK CHOPS - Love is blind and so is instinct

  Love is blind and so is instinct         
PORK CHOPS




In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth 

to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. 

Unfortunately,
Due to complications in the pregnancy, 

the cubs were born prematurely 

and due to their tiny size, 

they died shortly after birth.

The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, 

suddenly started to decline in health,
Although physically she was fine. 

The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter 

had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. 

The doctors decided 

that if the tigress could surrogate 

another mother's cubs, 

perhaps she would improve.

After checking with many other zoos across the country,
the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs 

of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother.. 

The veterinarians decided to try something 

that had never been tried in a zoo environment. 

Sometimes a mother of one species 

will take on the care of a different species. 

The only orphans' that could be found quickly, 

were a litter of weanling pigs. 

The zoo keepers and vets 

wrapped the piglets in tiger skin 

and placed the babies around the mother tiger... 

Would they become cubs or pork chops?


Take a look...you won't believe your eyes








Now, please tell me one more time ...
Why can't the rest of the world get along?  

 
I am sending this to all that love animals.............
It is just too cute not to pass along.
