Imagine that, Gunn said. Gunn, originally from California, had never been around sheep until she and her husband purchased a two-acr- e lot in Centerville in 1989. We didnt know what we were going to do with all the land, she said, so her husband suggested they buy a couple sheep to keep the grass down. They went to a local sheep-raisand bought two bummer lambs. Those are lambs who have been orphaned or turned Gunn away by their mother, said. I asked him why they were called bummers and he said when a sheep rancher finds abandoned lambs in his herd be says oh bummer. They brought the lambs home, and thats when her love affair g with wool began. She took a class in spinning at Bountiful High School in 1993 and began to spin for herself. Then in 1994 her husband passed away and the hobby started to become an avocation. In 1996 she had an opportunity to travel to Australia to learn more about sheep, wool, and spinning. The sheep I worked with in Australia were smaller than the kind I raise, Gunn said. It was no problem to sheer them myself, but when I got home I found that because I am so short, when I try to hold the bigger sheep between my legs to sheer them, I cant reach the front of them. Because of that, Gunn usually hires out the sheering process. er hand-spinnin- 236-754- 6.

Davis High and received medals in two events: Nature Quest and Dont Bug Me, receiving fourth and fifth place respectively. School ranked 31 Festival From 4 they are always getting something from it, said Tuttle. "The ideal would be to have the arts curriculum for all students that advances from year to year like math and creative writing, instead of leaving it to the teachers to do the arts in a random way. "Children do better in all their other subjects if they have music," Tuttle said. Brain research is showing that music and all arts are a very important part of the curriculum. Kids need the arts. It needs to be in the schools and if its not there, parents need to do something. When parents speak, schools listen, said AvanL dents. Fifteen of the students competed in the events and the other 12 provided support and materials management. Children from Farmington El- ementary lined up along the fence dividing the park from the school grounds. They were smiling and listening to the music during the festival, and they were watching the intellectually disabled children play Red Rover with enthusiasm and cheers. They danced to the sounds of the band and swayed with the children who were dancing and singing. The disabled children learned dancing from Tina Bruckman, a regular education teacher for the fifth and sixth grade at Columbia Elementary. The dancing activities are to keep the body moving, to stimulate the brain and increase general health, she said. "Im im learn more quickly and, of course, it is fun for them. Gunn said she doesnt believe spinning is a lost art. There are many people in some of our rural areas, as well as in Europe and places like Australia, who have been doing it for years. It is a skill that is still passed down from mothers to children. Gunn said everywhere she goes she takes a spindle and hand-spin- s yam. It isnt unusual to see her sitting in an airport waiting area spinning yam. People come up to me and ask all sorts of questions and mothers love me, she said. I will be spinning and several young children will be sitting around, quietly watching. Its a great way to pass the time, and I always take the opportunity to teach the children something they may not have seen before.

Each year she brings in a couple of rams for breeding then sells any male offspring and keeps the females. She currently has nine sheep, all different breeds, so the wool she gets from them has different textures. She also has a pigmy goat for the cashmere. I like to have the different kinds of wool because working with only one kind can be very boring, she said. Gunn teaches classes on wool production throughout the year and she will be teaching and doing demonstrations periodically this summer for the Centerville sesquicentennial. I especially like to teach children, she said. They seem to Program and ask for Ann at 776-316- 3, must be at the Utah Arts Council by June 30.
