Students from both Beaver High School and Milford High School attended the event. Southwest Utah Health Career Day CEDAR CITY, UT: Suturing, casting, taking blood pressures, and giving injections are activities you might expect to see taking place in a hospital. However, on November 18th, a few rooms at Southern Utah University were transformed and inundated with high school students who had the opportunity to try their hands at all of those skills - and a whole lot more! Sponsored by the Utah Center for Rural Health at Southern Utah University and the Utah Hospital Association, and hosted by Southern Utah University, the health career day brought together 110 students from nine different high schools. Students who attended were divided into groups and rotated among 6 hands-on workshops. At the Genetics Workshop, Mark Dickson, a Biotechnology teacher at Dixie High School in St. George, helped the students extract their own DNA from ceils in their cheeks. After extracting the DNA, students were able to put their DNA in a necklace/pendant to take home with them. Nurses from Garfield Memorial Hospital and Valley View Medical Center taught the participants how to suture. Students were taught basic suture knots and worked with suturing instruments as they sutured on chicken wings. Pre-medical students from the Rural Health Scholars program at Southern Utah University provided a casting workshop, where participants were taught how to put on a basic plaster cast. Students took turns putting casts on each other, and were then able to take their casts home with them. The SUU nursing program provided a hands-on nursing workshop. Stations were set-up and taught by current SUU nursing students. Participants learned about proper hand-washing, how to take blood pressures, and how to give injections (giving the injections to oranges, not each other!). A respiratory therapy workshop was provided by Dixie State College of Utah. Students learned about respiratory therapy as a career, and were able to use some of the tools and equipment that respiratory therapists use. Students were taught how to intubate, and then given the opportunity to practice on provided dummies. The Medical Technology workshop was provided by the laboratory staff at Valley View Medical Center. Students learned about laboratory science careers and were able to do a hands-on blood typing procedure. The Utah Center for Rural Health coordinates these regional career fairs through support from the Utah Hospital Association. According to Dennis Moser, Executive Director for the Utah Center for Rural Health, "These career days are used as a way to expose kids from rural areas to health care careers. Rural areas have a harder time recruiting and maintaining their health care workforce. If we can help encourage students from rural areas to pursue health care for their careers, they will be more inclined to come back to rural areas to work.*1 High Schools that participated, included: Milford High School, Beaver High School, Panguitch High School, Bryce Valley High School, Escalante High School, Valley High School, Kanab High School, Parowan High School and Enterprise High School. The Southern Utah University Center for Rural Health conducts a variety of programs to encourage rural students to pursue health and medical careers. Their Rural Health Scholars Program helps students become successful applicants to medical, dental, pharmacy arid other graduate level health professions programs. Student applications are strengthened through a regimen of classes, seminars, community service, job shadowing, research and advisement. Last academic year, 52 SUU students were accepted into graduate level health programs, and out of 25 students applying to medical schools, 24 were accepted.

The NORAD Tracks Santa program began in 1955 after a phone call was made to the Continental Air Defense Command Operations Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. The call was from a local youngster who dialed a misprinted telephone number in a local newspaper advertisement. The commander on duty who answered the phone that night gave the youngster the information requested - 'the whereabouts of Santa. This began the tradition of tracking Santa, a tradition that was carried on by NORAD when it was formed in 1958. The NORAD Tracks Santa program has grown immensely since first presented on the Internet in 1998. The website receives millions of unique visitors from hundreds of countries and territories around the world. In addition, a live Operations Center is occupied for 25 hours with more than 1,200 volunteers each year who receive hundreds of thousands of phone calls and emails from families around the world. Home Country Slim Randies Herb is a retired businessman, which tends "to make the rest of us think he is practical.1 That wouldn't be entirely accurate, however, as Herb has the silent soul of a romantic. How else can anyone explain his passion for archery? Most nice days he can be found out in his backyard, terrorizing a stack of hay bales with a target pinned to it. Many shooters do this, of course, but Herb is different. In this age of compound bows which resemble portable gym equipment, sights that glow in the darK, releases that resemble handguns, and arrows made of space-age materials, Herb is a throwback to the old days. He shoots a wooden recurve bow and uses wooden arrows. His fingers and bow arm.. are protected by leather rather than plastic, and he trusts hit own eye and form to place the arrow in the paper plate affixed to the hay bales. • Dud was watching him one afternoon. "You shoot very well. Herb." Thanks." "Wouldn't you get more speed from a compound bow, and some graphite arrows?" "Sure." ; "Well ...?' " I Herb smiled at him. "Dud. if I judged the fun of shooting byL how fast t could get something" to the target, I'd go In the house and get my deer rifle. Ifll shoot! circles around any bow ever made." iHerb hesitated a minute; "You see, Dud, if I hit the target/ I want it to be mostly because ( did it right and not some ammunition factory somewhere. Cm selfish. I want the credit... and I'm willing to accept the blame if I miss." Brought to you- by www.CashFlrearms.com* Honest deals for honest zens.
