Show The Garfield County Insider Page 2 October 21, 2010 ENTERTAINMENT-8-EVENTS VOICING THE RHYTHM OF THE LAND Voicing the Rhythm of the Land" a 5 week workshop series of music, writing, and instrument making is underway with Billy and Grace Tea at the Red House Farm in Boulder. "Voicing the Rhythm of the Land" is supported in part by the Utah Division of Arts and Museums, with funding from the State of Utah. Matching assistance is provided from Boulder Community Alliance and Red House Farm. The grant explains the workshops as: "Rhythm sessions and percussive instrument-making classes will be woven into the curriculum. Site-specific writing, group-building games, rhythm jam circles, walks in the wild, and exercises to enhance perception through all the senses will help to generate material that participants will craft into stories, songs, and poems to be shared with the greater community. These modes of expression re-kindle the oral tradition and experiential wisdom in a modern world accustomed to passive entertainment. This project can open creative pathways to people who may never before have considered themselves artists. It can empower communication, confidence, relationships between generations and genders, awareness of environment, and the importance of collaboration in a small community." The workshops will be going through November 13 and are open for anybody to attend. We strongly encourage the communities of Wayne and Garfield counties to take advantage of this amazing opportunity!

The Utah Safety Council recently recognized 61 Utah companies for their outstanding safety practices during The Utah Safety Council's Annual Meeting, Friday, September 27, 2010, at the Sheraton Hotel in Salt Lake City. Each year, the Utah Safety Council recognizes organizations for safety performance on several levels.

In addition to receiving the award of merit, Garkane also received the Utah Safety Council's Perfect Record Award in recognition of working a period of at least 12 consecutive months without an OSHA recordable injury, illness, days away from work, or death. This year's awards were presented to 61 companies representing a yearly average of over 56 million employee hours worked. This is an all-time record in terms of organizations being recognized and total hours worked. EWE DON'T WANT TO MISS CEDAR CITY'S ANNUAL SHEEP PARADE One of the most unique parades in the country will take place Saturday, October 30th at 10 a.m. when 1,200 sheep will be herded from Cedar Mountain down Cedar City's Main Street. The annual Sheep Parade is the highlight event of the Cedar Livestock & Heritage Festival, providing an exciting glimpse of agricultural tradition and livestock heritage to spectators along the route. According to Festival Chairman, Chad Reid "The sheep drive is about tradition, when cattle and sheep ranchers trailed their animals from summer range on Cedar Mountain to winter range in the valley. Cedar City is the only place in the United States that still has a designated livestock trail that runs through its city limits. Honoring our community's western agricultural commitment is the core of this annual celebration." Horses, wagons, antique tractors, stock dogs, and historic and modern sheep camps also will take part in the procession. The parade route is along Main Street from 400 South to 200 North. Parade entry applications will be accepted up to Friday, October 29th. To be true to the mission of the Livestock Fest, organizers request that all entries be authentically western and/or agriculturally based. Organizers also encourage entries in memoriam of members of the livestock industry. After the parade the tractors and sheep camps will also be on display the remainder of the day at the Cross Hollows Events Center during the Cedar Livestock & Heritage Festival. The Fifth Annual Cedar Livestock & Heritage Festival celebrates Cedar City's unique livestock and agricultural heritage October 29-31st. The 2010 event features cowboy music and poetry, Dutch Oven cooking contest, Backyard BBQ cooking contest, antique tractor pull, stock dog demo, sheep camp display, Color Country Quilt Show, Grammy nominated singer songwriter Don Edwards in concert and of course the famous Sheep Parade down Cedar City's Main Street. Panguitch's Lady Cats won the Sevier Valley Volleyball Tournament. This is the second year in a row win for the Cats at this tournament. Their State win record has reached 63 matches. The old record, held by Morgan has been eclipsed long ago. Tomorrow Friday, is the regional playoffs, out at Milford. The Ladies have a bye and their first game will be at noon. With Piute being there it could be a fun final. The Sevier Tourney featured many of the top 1A-3A teams in the State. The Cats scores were: South Sevier 25-20 25-16 Rowland Hall 25-9 25-9 25-21 North Sanpete 25-18 25-11 North Summit 25-15 Rich 25-13 25-13 Enterprise 25-23 25-13. Semi Finals 25-11 25-21 Delta Finals Rich 23-25 25-22 15-11 It was great that the girls got to play Rich twice, Rich had not lost to a 1-A team this year, UNTIL THEY MET THE LADYCATS Some of the Stats: Serves: Carly Holman, Natashia Barney and Aubry Parkin all served at 95%. Digs: Kalini 49, Katie Rosser 48, Breanne Bateman 44. Assists: Natashia and Carly split their time at setter and had 164 assist. Blocks: Aubry Parkin lead the team with 27. Hitting: Kalani hit .465% and Taelyr Tebbs .410% of their kills. The State Championships will be at UVU and will be held on October 28-29th. State is a lot of fun because there are 4 games going at all times. And you will be home for Halloween. The X Cross Country teams came through at Region last Tuesday. They both took second place and qualified for State. Running at Mt. Carmel golf coarse is a coarse that the fans can see the whole race and cheer the runners as they pass by. Both teams had runners that play on the Volleyball and baseball teams and they really came through. I thought Piute was unbeatable, but the Bob Cats came within 2 points of beating the Thunderbirds, so you never know with a little work what may happen at State. The State meet will be held at Sugarhouse on October 20th, so if you hear the sirens on Wednesday the team stepped up, to their potential. Carly Holman came in first for the Panguitch girls and the Norris twins came in first for the Panguitch boys. Wayne girls won and Piute's boys took first.
