2011 STATE 1-A BASEBALL CHAMPIONS
The Panguitch Bobcats appeared Tuesday afternoon at the UVU Baseball Stadium Tuesday convinced and prepared to take home the 2011 State 1-A Baseball title… and that is exactly what they did. On Monday, The Wayne Badgers defeated the Region 18 Champs Tabiona (17-2) in the 5th inning to secure their spot for the title, and Panguitch defeated Region 17 Champs West Ridge Academy (17-9) for their spot. Panguitch split season wins with the well rounded and undefeated Region 20 Wayne Badgers, but this time up, the Bobcats carried home the title by defeating the Wayne Ball Club 10-1. The Bobcats came out determined to fight, scoring one run in each of the first three innings, while holding Wayne to no hits and no runs until the fifth. There the Bobcats rallied another five runs. The Bobcats played very well as a team on offense with 14 hits,. For a while it appeared as though Panguitch pitcher, Bennett would have a no-hitter until late in the sixth inning. The Badgers loaded the bases a couple times, and the Bobcats defense was solid enough to shut the door on Wayne. Both of these teams dominated this years’ state 1-A competition, and both teams appeared to peak at the end of the season. The Badgers had a rough time in the final game with errors while the Bobcats turned these into successful opportunities to put the game away. Congratulations to the Bobcats and the coaching staff for keeping their heads together, and working as a team. You have made Panguitch Proud!

UTAH’S PAST AND PRESENT by Mrs. Gayle Moore and Mrs. Vicki D. Syrett
If you know a fourth grader in the Garfield County School District then you’ve already heard the news of how “Awesome” this year’s Utah Past and Present, Intrigue of the Past, program was! Actually, this was the 23rd year that Mrs. Vicki Syrett has coordinated this annual event that brings experts from the community and government agencies to fourth grade students and gives the students a hands on, small group, experience that builds their understanding of the Utah Science Core and Utah’s Past and Present. Bryce Valley Elementary hosted 90 fourth and some third grade students for this
year’s workshops on October 5th and 6th. The presenters were Megan Keller from Anasazi State Indian Park, Flo Yearsley from Fremont Indian State Park, and Liz Lampe from Kodachrome State Park. The NHA from Bryce Canyon National Park are a big support and they sent Marilyn Bulkley, Shawn Duffy, and Betty Fox. Betty Fox had built a Piute Indian “Kahn” that the students could go inside and it was a big hit with the students. The BLM office of Escalante sent Dave Mecham, Chuck Klaus, and Larry Glickman. Mrs. Lowe from Antimony Elementary was the storyteller and Arta Hepworth taught the students about quilting and got them started hand sewing quilt blocks together. Pipe Springs National Monument participated this year for the first time with Stephen Rudolph, and LeAnn Shearer. LeAnn Shearer is a Paiute and she and her sister provided valuable understanding and experiences to the students in the Paiute language, bead
work, traditional clothing, and uses of native plants. She also taught them a couple of nursery rhymes and counting in the Paiute language. They loved it.
Another “Delicious” tradition of the Utah Past and Present is the Indian Taco lunch at the Tropic Park. Arta Hepworth makes authentic indian fry
bread and the students are served by the teachers and parent helpers. Thanks to Ruby’s Inn Restaurant and Clark’s grocery store for their support with the lunch. The Utah Past and Present program raises it’s own funding each year and we appreciate each com-

munity and the local businesses for their support of students’ education. The finale on Wed., was Martin Tyner and his “Birds of Prey.” Mr. Tyner taught the whole B.V.E. student body along with the fourth grade students about raptors and he brought three of them with him to introduce to the students. Mr. Tyner has traveled from Texas to California with his golden eagle, Scout, and the students were impressed with his stories of animal rescue and respect for these magnificent birds. He has written a wonderful book that tells of his overcoming his fear of birds and
how that led to his becoming the healer of critters, especially birds. This event also takes place in the Piute School District. This year is happened on the 25th and 26th of September in Circleville at the Elementary school
there under the direction of Janetta Dalton, fourth grade teacher and Principal of the school. Presenters there this year were Flo Yearsley of Fremont Indian State Park, Stephen Rudolph, Gene Roggenkamp, Butch Roggenkamp, Evan Cram, and Brittani Wero all of Pipe Springs National Monument on the Utah-Arizona borderline. Arta Hepworth also took part and she helped the students and teachers make fry bread and quilting. Marilyn Bulkley, Shawn Duffy and Betty Fox also participated from NHA at Bryce Canyan National Park. A special reader of Native American stories read to the students in one of the groups and they loved the stories. Some of the subjects that the students learned were about how the Atlatl was used to hunt food, Flint Knapping, Textiles of the times, the Fremont Indians and their food, Natural Plants they crushed and put into a little bag, beading of the Paiute Indians, quilting as the pioneers used to make quilts, stone cutting, fossils with actual fossils to look at and feel, dinosaurs and how we hunt for their fossils today with an actual dinosaur bone to see, the Paiute Indians and the Anasazi Indians, and archaeology. Some very interesting hands on took place and they all had a chance at each station during the two days. Interest for this type of study came from a course Mrs. Syrett took at the University of Utah called Intrigue of the Past 25 years ago. It instilled a great interest to teach the ideas to the students and help them understand our past and how it reflects on our present. It has been a great experience.
I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days governments had better get out of the way and let them have it. Dwight D.
