Belknap Happenings v.y---> With a new school year well underway, I wanted to take the opportunity to make the public aware of some wonderful things that are taking place at Belknap Elementary. Belknap have an excellent faculty and staff that hold high expectations for each student while ensuring that the students know they are cared'about at school, I would like to thank the patrons of Belknap Elementary for their support and involvement in their children's education. In order for students to be successful, parents, teachers, and administrators must work together in assuring that each student Is receiving the help and support they need, both at school and at home. The results of the state CRT, (criterion-referenced tests) commonly referred to as T h e Core Test", show that, for the most part our students dW exceptionally well. The following chart Illustrates Belknap student achievement on the 2009-2010 CRT. 2010 CRT <H> Proficient for BELKNAP SCHOOL ff g • H»tmna4o • Scfeno Home Country Slim Randies When Bob Garcia removed that old mossy horn mount from its place over the fireplace, we were a bit confused. That huge buck had been his pride and joy for more than 30 years. But Bob put it back fh his office, behind the kitchen. The spot of honor over the fireplace now belongs. to a young forked-horn buck, the one he took last year on the other side of the hayfield. It's the kind of buck you expect to get for your first deer, and not really the kind of buck you honor like that after a lifetime spent hunting in the autumn woods. Bob just said it was a special buck and smiled. Bob heard the deer before he saw him, and he got ready. He looked to the sound of the deer and checked what was on the other side of the animal. A large dirt bank. That's safe enough. Can't have that old .4570 slug sailing around the country. Bob felt the breeze coming right to his face, slightly chilling his nose, and bringing with it the promise of a crisp fall later on. These days still held the late summer heat. The wind was right, and he wore dull clothing, he had a clear shot with a safe backdrop. There was nothing to do now but waft. Then the littie forked-horn buck stepped out. it would never replace the huge buck Bob took years back, but it was a good eating deer and the situation was right, so he aimed carefully and shot. The sound of the massive cartridge going off started the snake at his feet rattling. Bob jumped back out of danger and finished the snake. Another step forward ... just one more step.... The taxidermist was surprised when Bob told him he wanted a really nice mount of what was, to all other eyes, a fairly routine meat deer. But he promised to give the buck the full treatment. It hangs over the fireplace now. When outdoorsmen ask him about that deer, Bob just smiles and says it is a special buck.

LOGAN, UT - Answer by: Nedra Christensen. Utah State University Cooperative Extension nutrition specialist September is "National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month," bringing national attention to a growing epidemic among youth in the United States. A Presidential Proclamation issued Sept. 1, 2010, by President Barack Obama states that one of the greatest responsibilities we have as a nation is to safeguard the health and well-being of our children.
