The Judge for a Day program is held by the state courts in recognition of Law Day, which is recognized on May 1, 2010. The court is asking Utah high schools to select a student to participate in the program based on an essay, civic involvement resume, or teacher nomination letter. On May 1, 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower GARAGE DOORS proclaimed the first Law Day as a day of national dedication to the principle of government under law. Student essays should be written about the 2010 Law Day theme, which is "Law in the 21st Century: Enduring Traditions, Emerging Challenges." The Law Day theme is selected by the American Bar Association and explores how the law is changing as it seeks to adapt to conditions in a global era regarding matters such as human rights, criminal justice, intellectual property, business transaction, dispute resolution, human migration, and environmental regulations. Each student will shadow a judge in one of the state's eight judicial districts in either April or May. The student will spend the day learning what it takes to become a judge, the duties a judge performs, and about the judicial branch of government. Schools are asked to submit an application form by March 5, 2010 to the Utah State Court's public information officer, Nancy Volmer, at nancyv@email.utcourts.gov. An application form for Law Day is available on the court's Web site at www.utcourts.gov. More information on the Law Day theme is available at www.lawday.org . Custom STAINING...

Kari Owens played an excellent defensive game controlling Milford's top scorer and 4 of our girls scored in double figures to lead the LadyCats. Kalani Norris had 17, Chelsie Barny 15, Shelby Taylor and Breanne Bateman each tallied 10. The Lady Cats are now 4-1 in league and 9-2 overall. There was a Sophomore tournament at Valley last Friday and Saturday, the young Lady Cats took 4th and Bryce Valley took 2nd , Escalante's very good freshmen won a game. The Ladies will have a home game Jan 13th hosting Wayne and an away game at Escalante on Jan. 21st. Bryce Valley will play here on Jan.23. The Bobcats had two heart stopper games this last week. Against Bryce Valley the game went into overtime with the Cats winning 49-47 from my understanding this was a very well played game. Brooke Leach led the way with 17 points and Zac Brophy and Eric Frandsen each had 11 for the victory. Friday nights game against the Piute Thunderbirds was really something. There was one of the largest crowds that I have seen there, what was so good was all the student support and all kinds of the elementary kids there and they all know the cheers. The Bobcats led most of the game, by as much as 12 points at one time. The Birds never gave up and battled to within 2 points, near the end of the game. This was a very high scoring game with Eric Frandsen electrifying the crowd with a dunk in the fourth quarter, that brought everyone to their feet. The Cats had a 3 point lead with only 3.3 seconds left when Brooke was fouled; he made one of two for a four point lead. One of the Thunderbird players lofted a 3 point shot from the half court line and scored at the buzzer. The Birds came up short 75-74, what excitement. Eric Frandsen scored 24, Brooke Leach with 19 and Riley Miller putting in 13. Both of these teams will have a shot at us again, BV here on Jan.30 and Piute there on Feb. 9. Circle those dates on your calendar and don't miss out. Next week the Bobcats travel to Milford on Jan. 14 and there will be a Sophomore tournament in Escalante on Jan.15 and 16th. They will be hosting Wayne on Jan. 20. In my humble opinion against Piute the younger players gained a lot of confidence and made a big difference in the team play, they seemed to take their shots when they were open, and made their free throws. The Wrestlers split two matches losing to Milford and coming away a winner against Piute. The team's next meet is at Gunnison on Jan.14, it looks like we will host South Sevier on Jan.15th and Kanab Jan 21 and Parowan on the 22nd. So wrestling fans you will finally get to see our team in action. I noticed that the drill team wasn't active again this year. They are missed! The cheer squad is great and the posters around the gym sure add to the excitement. To the parents and friends of the sports teams, I know it is a lot of work to maintain the concession stands. Thanks for your efforts. I know how much work it is because my family took their turns.
