Greeting Members! This is my first Presidential newsletter

message to you all and I want to say how happy I am to be

here!

There is so much I want to touch on in this small space, first

of all I want to Welcome all of our new members and I'm so

excited to see more Youth joining our Club! We even have a

couple of articles in this newsletter written by our Youth

members and I'm simply overjoyed to see that kind of

participation, hopefully this is just the beginning of a

beautiful thing for UARC.

If you are an Adult member who has children who show an interest in the rabbit fancy, we urge

you to have them apply for Youth membership or change your membership to a Family one.

They're never too young to start either. My youngest daughter has been a ARBA and NARBC

member since she was 3 years old! Remember, our youth are the future of our hobby and

definitely something to promote and protect!

The news of a Angora taking Best in Show at ARBA Convention this year was amazing and I

know we all say a big Congrats to Linda Casella on a job well done! Any Angora taking BIS at

that level is a win for all of us!! I know we have several members here on UARC who took their

Angoras to Convention and also did exceptional. I know everyone brought out their big guns and

I'm so proud of everyone!! You can all see the Convention results for yourselves here in this

newsletter! On another note in the same vein; I urge those of you who are planning to attend the

ARBA Convention 2013 in PA to book your hotel accommodations ASAP as these things can

and do fill up considerably in advance. Let the count-down begin!

I'm sure some of you have noticed that our new Secretary and Web mistress Melissa Deitrich has

been quite the busy bee in reorganizing our club matters including the daunting task of refreshing

our entire membership and now, editing our newsletter! She has quickly become a major asset to

our club and I know we are all extremely appreciative of her tireless efforts to make our club the

well-oiled machine that any successful club needs to be. I'm also thrilled that she seems to have

revived the Photo of the Month idea for our Club. Thank you so much for your time and effort

Melissa!

In closing, I hope everyone has a fabulous Holiday Season and New Year. Stay safe and have

fun! I personally wish for snow! This is to be only my second Ohio winter and I am a born and

raised New Englander. It was so mild last winter that some of our Annual plants and herbs kept

outdoors never died... I know my kids would love to play in the snow this year so I really hope

Jack Frost visits us! I'm also very excited over a couple of up-coming litters due mid-December

and I wish you all bountiful breeding as well! May our nest boxes over flow! Sincerely, Jenna

Leonard

The weather here in Delaware has been a little

unpredictable the last few months…rain, heat,

snow flurries and the Hurricane Sandy. I know the

big question we are all wondering is “What is the

coming winter going to be like?” With the great

weather extremes we have seen across the nation,

all we can really do is keep our fingers crossed and prepare. If anyone has any cold weather tips

feel free to share them on the UARC Yahoo Group. I’m happy to say we currently have 16

youth members in our club! The goal of our officers is to move this organization into a future

filled with exciting new amenities for our members some examples include the Angora of the

Month Photo Contest, Youth Corner, Youth Sweepstakes, updated website and breeder listings

just to name a few. We are also talking about the possibility of having a Youth Representative

for our club. If anyone has any changes that need to be made to their membership please let me

know ASAP. I like to keep things as current as possible. If you have any questions or concerns

please let me or another officer know. Something to think about as the new show season is upon

us…please think about Hosting a UARC Specialty Show in your neck of the woods. Many of us

like to travel great distances where we can show our angoras up to 3 and 4 times in a day.

On a different note I’m now an Official Rabbit Registrar! I’m currently working towards my

requirements for my Cavy Registrar license. I was just recently asked by Dr. Heriz to be the

Delaware State Rabbit Representative for District 9.

I was asked to write a short article about how I got started into the wonderful world of Angora

rabbits which has been a most rewarding adventure that I hope will continue for a long while.

I started into rabbits like most with my children in 4H and the ride began. I had no idea what an

Angora rabbit was nor that there were different varieties of them. We acquired our first “French

Angora” from a local breeder proceeded to our first ARBA show where we met our first judge

Cheryl Eng-Link in the spring of 2001. She was very informative and directed us to contact Joan

Hastings where I acquired my first two real French Angora's and since then things have been

very blessed. Many shows went by and I continued to learn and acquire stock but I was the new

kid on the block and had a lot of very good breeders in my area which really helped in getting me

started on the right foot.

After about three years, I had my first litter of what would be the start of everything and I was

never so excited when I won my first BOB with the late Kathy Patrick as the judge. Since then I

have had the support from the NY Angora family and I've had the honor and privilege to own

some extremely nice animals. I could not do this article justice without mentioning my SUSU

rabbit that really changed my Angora career, she had many wins including numerous BIS's and

both National and Convention BOB's.

I attended my first ARBA convention in Providence, R.I., and was amazed at the size and

number of animals there. Being my first convention, I made many rookie mistakes such as bring

far to many animals to the show. Our van was loaded with over 30 animals, some were Jersey

Woolies, all of our gear, two daughters and off we went. I learned a lot at that first convention

such as don't take so many animals and don't over pack! (As the late Judge Roger Cota would

say “Relax it's just a rabbit show”).

My first love is the French Angora's and they have given me numerous BOS's/BOB's and

Open/Specialty and National BIS's but not only that but the opportunity to meet to both old and

new breeders and I have developed many long lasting friendships.

I currently have the privilege of working with the group in developing the Broken Satin Angora

and will be ready for the first presentation at the 2014 ARBA Convention.

I look back at the miles driven in the late night through all the different weather conditions and

getting lost on roads not even on the map and numerous hours of lost sleep to do

GROOMING,GROOMING and more GROOMING, thinking would I be crazy enough to do this

again? I say “YES” Hope all is well and look forward to seeing you at the next show.

Welcome new members & winter greetings to all!

With Jack Frost gradually embracing many of our

rabbitries and barns in the upcoming months please

be ever mindful of the extra precautions necessary

to ensure your own safety as you endeavor to

protect & provide for your herd(s). “We” so often

are consumed with the “task/chore” at hand that

simple precaution for ourselves such as ensuring

clear or ice free paths to our animals is over-

looked. Remember a slip can result with you being laid up & relinquishing the care of the

animals to someone else that may not do the same job as you would do.

I eagerly look forward to meeting many more members at fiber fests/fairs & bun shows in the

upcoming months; may your buns be warm & your nest-boxes full. Respectfully with Blessings

to you; UARC BOD chair/member, Tina Vance

Being asked to be the club’s newsletter editor for both the

regular newsletter and the Fiber Edition Newsletter has been a

huge honor as well as undertaking. First off, I’d like to thank

my daughter Jessica for her expertise in helping me design this

newsletter. It always amazes me how quick the younger

generation picks up on things. At one time I thought I knew a

great deal about designing webpages for myself and others, but

I guess the older I get the more willing I am to accept help from

the younger ones! So with that said, if there is any mistakes in

either newsletter please forgive me. As I am typing this I am

surrounded by rabbits happily munching on hay and enjoying

the cool environment and so am I. With that said, I can’t wait to start gathering material for the

next newsletter. I’m counting on all of you to submit articles and or photos for the next

newsletter (All information will need to be submitted no later than February 28, 2013 for the

Spring Newsletter)! I can take articles and photos at any time for the 2013 Fiber Edition.

Youth Corner

I bounded out of the nest box fiercely. “I want to be just like you mom,” I said. “I don’t think

so,” said mama. Then Lilly came over as well. “Yeah, we want to eat pellets and get stronger.”

“Well you girls aren’t old enough and besides you aren’t ready for pellets”. I sat alone until Sari

came over. She sat next to me and started talking but I wasn’t listening. I thought about what

mama said how we weren’t old enough for pellets. “We are two weeks old!” I cried. “We are old

enough for pellets. We eat everything else you give us.” Then mama came over and scolded me.

“Your sisters are trying to sleep and so is the whole rabbitry. So I suggest you apologize to

everyone and sleep in the corner tonight.” So I apologized and went to the timeout corner. One

more night like this and I was grounded. All my other sisters went to curl up next to mama while

I slept next to the few pieces of hay that were still in the timeout corner.

The next morning, I was jolted awake by the sound of a crying kit. I jumped right up and yelled,”

Lilly, Sari, Daisy; where are you?” Then I jumped over and realized mama was having another

kit! I went over to mama and said, “What is it?” “It’s a boy.” I felt as if my heart had skipped a

beat. It was hard enough being first-born. But this was truly dreadful. “It’s a boy,” I yelped. “His

name is Chai Latte”. I jumped away when mama asked who wanted to help feed him first. I

hoped she wouldn’t pick me to feed him. I remember when my sisters were born and how hard it

was to feed them. I’m sure boys are twice the trouble. Of course Sari went first. She always

wanted to be my little helper no matter what I was doing. My mama always said since I was the

oldest I had to be partial responsibility for everyone. I couldn’t wait to be weaned from all of

this. Mama was so proud of all the help Sari gave when she helped feed Chai Latte. Chai soon

fell fast asleep against mama’s belly. Then everyone snuggled up to mama except me. I guess

mama was still mad at me. I drank a few drops of water (from the water bottle) and went back to

the timeout corner.

Later that day, I was bouncing around when my cage flew open; a hand pinched my hindquarters

and dragged me out of the cage. I yelled for mama but it was too late. I was already outside. I

was so frantic so I started squealing hoping that some bunny will hear me. I was dropped on a

rug that’s on a wheelie trashcan. Then the humans tried to pose me up like a show bunny. Of

course! Today was picture day. I hated picture day. They expected you to sit still in your pose

while their machine with bright light on top went click, click, click. They must’ve taken a

thousand pictures of me because my neck hurt from keeping my head up. Eventually, I got back

to my mama’s pen. “It’s picture day” I told mama. She had gone through picture day many times

before. I always seem to forget that mama was a kit like me. She also took care of her sisters and

brother too. I wanted to be like my mom. She had nothing to worry about. A few minutes later

mama called me over to her. I asked her if anything was wrong but she said she just wanted to

talk. I sat down next to her. Then she started talking. “Rosa I don’t know why, but you have been

acting really strange since Chai Latte was born. But I think I have an answer to my own question.

I noticed that you’ve been acting the way I was when I was a first-born kit. I was restless and

pretended I was queen of the cage, until my sisters came along. They weren’t trouble, just a lot

of work! Then a few days later my one brother came along. That’s when I really started acting

like you. Not being involved in a sibling’s life isn’t’ fair to him. You haven’t even said “Hello”

to him yet. Your sisters are caring for him more than I am! I’m only going to ask you one

question. Are you jealous because I’m not spending time with you, like your other siblings?”

“Yes,” I said in an almost whisper. “Well don’t think that” my mother said “I will always love

and care for you no matter what.” I hopped away and looked at my new baby brother. He was a

pure, crisp black. I looked at him and said, “Welcome to the family.”

Short Story by Jessica Deitrich…continued

Hi, my name is Jarrett Keys. I

am a youth breeder and new to

English Angoras. I am a 4-H

member and have been the

President of my rabbit club for 2

years. I have been raising and

showing rabbits since 2009, my

first show rabbit being a light

grey Flemish Giant. I compete in

both ARBA and 4-H shows. My

current breeds are Lilacs,

Cinnamons, English Angoras,

Tans & Lionheads. I also have

been working with my Tans to

compete in Hopping. I have to admit I was intimidated by the Angoras. I have always admired

the English Angoras but thought that their grooming was too much for me. Then I started with

Lionheads earlier this year and realized I enjoyed grooming time and it wasn't as intense as I

thought. I then began researching what was needed for proper grooming and the amount of time

needed. I realized if you take a short time each week then the grooming time is very

limited. My Mom purchased a blower for me so I could properly groom my EAs. I contacted a

longtime breeder friend of mine to ask him if he had any EA's and our little jr REW doe was

transported back to Maryland, thanks to more great people. Then came my first show the

Baltimore & Howard, MD Show both youth and open. I was quite nervous entering my first

show with my EA. I had some help from some breeders I had met the previous weekend at

Carroll Co, MD Show and really tried to remember all that they had taught me. I even had help

grooming my REW jr doe and I'm so grateful for that help. I am so lucky to have found such

wonderful and helpful breeders within the EA group and I'm very grateful for your time, help

and knowledge. I was the only entry in the EA Youth show but in Open is where I really learned

a lot. There were 5 total whites shown in Open. I learned how the length of the wool is checked,

how the density is checked on the wool, what they meant by crimp in the wool, whether the

animal had any fur mites and how to check for them and many others. I learned that the first

coat is the best coat for showing. I now have 3 EAs and look forward to the showing season of

2013.have 3 EAs and look forward to the showing season of 2013.

Introduction of Jarrett Keys from EagleCreek’s Rabbitry in MD

14 | P a g e

I stepped out of the van. Finally! I thought wearily to myself. Twenty two hours in the car with

fussy siblings and a van load of rabbits was almost more than I could bear. I stacked up a bunch

of rabbit cages on our cart and headed into the convention center. WOW! Was the first word

that came to mind? Rabbits, rabbits rabbits everywhere! Twenty one thousand rabbits packed

into one convention center!

Before I had a chance to really look around I had to go to practice for the youth competitions

that I was compete in tomorrow. For practice I got to follow a judge around the open room. I

saw many rabbits big and small, but I hadn't seen one fluffy bunny yet. My mom came up to me

later and said she couldn't find where they had put the Angoras. After practice I set out to find

my mom and where the Angoras coups were.

Following my friends directions I found both my mom and my Angoras. Both of my French

Angora bucks where sitting comfortably in their coups. I fed and watered them and headed off

to bed, anxious for tomorrow. After a goodnights sleep I was all ready to start my day. I spent

the morning competing in the youth competitions. It was a lot of fun. I got to hang out with my

Kansas ARBA Convention (Angora Style) by Maggie Hoffman

15 | P a g e

friends and make some new friends from around the country.

The following day the show started. I cleaned my angora cages and gave them treats before I

begun grooming. The angora grooming room was filled with grooming tables, supplies, and

what seemed like hundreds of cords. It was below zero in the grooming room most of the time,

but unlike the owners, the rabbits didn't seem to mind the cold much. This was the one of the

first times my junior French Angora bucks had ever been exposed to a blower. Needless to say,

they weren't thrilled with me or my blower. They didn't seem to like being brushed either.

Once I finally finished grooming I realized the youth show didn't start for another hour or so. I

was NOT going to put my boys back in their cages to get themselves messy again. For almost a

whole hour I lugged around Sky, my blue French Angora buck and Dov, my Lilac Tortoiseshell

buck around the show hall. My arms and back began to ache after about an hour. I gave in and

put them back into their cages to wait for the

youth show to start.

After lunch time the youth show finally

started. I went to get my boys out of their

cages. I looked down at Sky. Good! He looks

pretty clean. I thought happily to myself.

Then I looked up at Dov. Not good! Dov was

cover head to foot with hay. Where he found

the hay, I have no idea. I quickly took him to

the grooming area to fix him up before show

time.

It was the moment that I had waited for. Show time! Both Dov and Sky placed well in their

class. The judge loved both juniors, but said they needed time to mature. I was so excited.

Kansas ARBA Convention was a lot of fun. I got to hang out with my friends and play with a

bunch of bunnies. I can't wait for convention this year. It will be held at the Farm Show

Complex in Harrisburg PA, which is only an hour a way for me and my family. It was a great

experience and I hope I see everyone this year at convention!

Consider Sponsoring a UARC Specialty Show in Your Area! Why not arrange for a UARC

Specialty Show in your area?

Our shows showcase and promote our beautiful Angora breeds, provide additional opportunities

to show our breeds at the host shows and additional opportunities to earn legs, and provide

income for our club that allows us to forego charging dues to our members.

The procedures for proposing a UARC show are straightforward: Contact any member of the

Board of Directors with your request, including the proposed show date, location, sanction fees

(other than ARBA and NARBC, which are standard) any other anticipated fees, entry fees,

proposed show Secretary and Superintendent. The BOD will vote on your proposal.

Upon approval, procure required sanctions, finalize arrangements with the host show, arrange for

any special awards and promote your show. Secretaries are reimbursed for approved costs, net

profits support the club. The club has a license for The Show Program (Grand Champion

Software) that makes this tool available to all UARC Show secretaries, and makes producing

show reports a breeze

I am very excited to see that the Angora Photo of the Month contest has as taken off with flying

colors. It was my hope when introducing the idea to the membership, that we would have more

participation. However, like all things, things take time. In the 1st month offering the contest we

had 4 participants (Colleen Wagner, Kathy Barger-Harbert, and Mark Gregorie along with

Melissa Deitrich). In the 2nd

month we had 4 participants again this time we had Dawn Panda,

Jessica Deitrich, Melissa Deitrich and Phillip Deitrich. For the month of December, Jessica

Deitrich, Melissa Deitrich and Phillip Deitrich along with Nicole Keys sent in photos. Hopefully

in the coming months others will participate as well. For more information on the Photo Contest

please see the rules at http://www.unitedangorarabbitclub.org/?page_id=500 submission Dates
