ELECTRONIC FIELD TRIP HOSTED AT BRYCE CANYON THIS PAST SPRING This past year Bryce Canyon National Park was one of two national parks selected by the National Park Foundation to host its live one-hour Electronic Field Trip (EFT) broadcast. Students in grades 4th through 8th from across the country and world participated in the EFT to explore the unique geology and paleontological resources of Utah's Bryce Canyon National Park. This EFT was titled Discovering the Mysteries of Bryce Canyon National Park and featured live, one-hour broadcasts from the park on Tuesday, May 18th, 2010. A companion website was hosted by the park's resident Geo-Detective character, an Allosaurus named Professor Allister McFragilis, and featured downloadable lesson plans for teachers and interactive games for youth. Games such as The Case of the Missing Assistant and The Case of the Mixed Up Hoodoos took students on a tour of the national parks ) T O NAY: COMPLEIL I ME LAID SO THAT EVERY ROW, EVERY COLUMN AND EVERY 3)0 30X CONTAINS THE EMITS I TO 9 6 9 3 6 2 1 9 6 7 5 4 7 2 1 8 9 4 ClitiL,P69Z 1 6 Answers for this week 89IZSCPL6 L£ZP689i1 691LZ£8 Z8L1PS£69 69LFZ8V5 t£6891 7 5 9Lt8Z6Slf 1 4 6 6Zi£91L8P S 4 8 7 P 3 5 8 6 Page The Garfield County Insider September ZL. 'AIIIIIIIIII of Southern Utah and asked for their help in finding names for famous hoodoos in the park. The online curriculum including interactive games and lesson plans for teachers is available at www.brycecanyoneft.org . The Bryce Canyon Electronic Field Trip focused on the unique elements of the park—its geological and paleontological resources—which have been shaped and etched by millions of years of freezing water, temperature extremes and other natural forces. The hour-long live broadcast from Bryce Canyon offered participating students a chance to ask questions of park rangers, including the age-old question, "what's a hoodoo?" Email boxes were set up so teachers and students could ask a bank of park "experts" more questions. The program was broadcasted from four park locations (two on the rim, one below the rim along the Navajo Loop Trail and one in the forest). From the large television trailer equipped with satellite dish, a maze of cables stretched for thousands of feet along the sidewalks, trails and over the canyon's rim. Seventeen students from surrounding schools (Panguitch Elementary School and Panguitch Middle School in Panguitch, UT and Bryce Valley Elementary School and Bryce Valley High School in Tropic, UT) were selected to host the show with park rangers. Wearing their "Utah Rocks" T-shirts they did a wonderful job in front of the camera. Park Project Inspector Kenny Hall opened the show singing his original cowboy tunes by campfire. Acting Superintendent Jacque Lavelle introduced the program followed by Chief of Interpretation, Dan Ng and student Darri as hosts. Park Rangers Jan Stock, Kevin Doxstater and Cheryl Evans paired up with students Rowdy, Kenzy and Joshua, and Natalie respectively to discuss geology, human history, plants and wildlife. Ranger Sean Duffy teamed up with Bryce Canyon Natural History Association Executive Director/Paleontologist Gayle Pollock and student Natalie at the fossil table. Months of work were involved in the planning, logistics, promoting, coordinating and rehearsing. Fighting the outdoor elements of wind and rain, the dedicated work of rangers, students and production crew contributed to the success of the broadcast. Special thanks goes to the National Park Foundation Program Director, Matt Ferris, director Bob Gothro, producer Jeff Moon, camera and sound technicians, Bryce Canyon National Park staff, the Bryce Canyon Natural History Association and especially the students. Schools from 46 states and Japan, Canada, Germany, Cuba, Italy, and Switzerland signed up to participate in EFT. Over 5,900 schools and 120,000 students registered for the broadcast. With 40 PBS stations broadcasting the program the estimated viewing audience was over 7,500,000 people. "The Electronic Field Trip to Bryce Canyon is turning one of America's most stunning national parks into one of America's most interesting and exciting classrooms," said Neil Mulholland, president and CEO of the National Park Foundation. "At a time when school budgets nationwide have been cut to bare bones, the National Park Foundation is proud to partner with the parks to connect students around the country to their parks – this is a tremendous free resource for both students and educators." ectaltg De tadrillt 4% -241 Errol - 435-275-8628 - embutah@gmail.com Remember the Guy that Wouldn't take the Flag down in his yard? On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg -- probably didn't make much news back then. Twenty-five years later, on May 23, 1944, near Carano , Italy , Van T. Barfoot, who had enlisted in the Army in 1940, set out to flank German machine gun positions from which fire was coming down on his fellow soldiers. He advanced through a minefield, took out three enemy machine gun positions and returned with 17 prisoners of war. If that wasn't enough for a day's work, he later took on and destroyed three German tanks sent to retake the machine gun positions. That probably didn't make much news either, given the scope of the war, but it did earn Van T. Barfoot, who retired as a colonel after also serving in Korea and Vietnam , a Congressional Medal of Honor. What did make news recently was a neighborhood association's quibble with how the 90-year-old veteran chose to fly the American flag outside his suburban Virginia home. Seems the rules said a flag could be flown on a house-mounted bracket, but, for decorum, items such as Barfoot's 21-foot flagpole were unsuitable. He had been denied a permit for the pole, erected it anyway and was facing court action if he didn't take it down. Since the story made national TV, the neighborhood association has rethought its position and agreed to indulge this old hero who dwells among them. "In the time I have left I plan to continue to fly the American flag without interference," Barfoot told The Associated Press. As well he should. And if any of his neighbors still takes a notion to contest him, they might want to read his Medal of Honor citation. It indicates he's not real good at backing down. This 1944 Medal of Honor citation, listed with the National Medal of Honor Society, is for Second Lieutenant Van T. Barfoot, 157th Infantry, 45th Infantry: "For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty on 23 May 1944, near Carano , Italy . With his platoon heavily engaged during an assault against forces well entrenched on commanding ground, 2d Lt. Barfoot moved off alone upon the enemy left flank. He crawled to the proximity of 1 machinegun nest and made a direct hit on it with a hand grenade, killing 2 and wounding 3 Germans. He continued along the German defense line to another machinegun emplacement, and with his tommygun killed 2 and captured 3 soldiers. Members of another enemy machinegun crew then abandoned their position and gave themselves up to Sgt. Barfoot. Leaving the prisoners for his support squad to pick up, he proceeded to mop up positions in the immediate area, capturing more prisoners and bringing his total count to 17. Later that day, after he had reorganized his men and consolidated the newly captured ground, the enemy launched a fierce armored counterattack directly at his platoon positions. Securing a bazooka, Sgt. Barfoot took up an exposed position directly in front of 3 advancing Mark VI tanks. From a distance of 75 yards his first shot destroyed the track of the leading tank, effectively disabling it, while the other 2 changed direction toward the flank. As the crew of the disabled tank dismounted, Sgt. Barfoot killed 3 of them with his tornmygun. He continued onward into enemy terrain and destroyed a recently abandoned German fieldpiece with a demolition charge placed in the breech. While returning to his platoon position, Sgt. Barfoot, though greatly fatigued by his Herculean efforts, assisted 2 of his seriously wounded men 1,700 yards to a position of safety. Sgt. Barfoot's extraordinary heroism, demonstration of magnificent valor, and aggressive determination in the face of point blank fire are a perpetual inspiration to his fellow soldiers." dt |
