The addition of several summer recreation lea ders in each community have assured the people of supervised activities for all age groups. The program is getting larger and it is our hope that every individual will be able to find an activity to meet his needs. BOYS BASEBALL The boys groups, 8 to 13, have been placed on baseball teams and a four taym league is presently under way at Fort Duchesne each Tuesday and Thursday. The team from Whlterocks, coached by Alden A twine call themselves the Warriors and are presently on top with a 3 win 2 loss record. The leading hitter for the Warriors is Arlln Taveapont who has hit three home runs, two triples and two doubles. Arlln also pitches for the Warriors. Other strong hitters for the Warriors are Kendall Arrowchls, Marcus Mart and Wayne Gardner. In second place with a 2 win 2 loss record are the Fort Duchesne chiefs led by Ozzle Chapoose with a 500 batting average and Carlisle Cuch who hits the power. Third place in the league are the Fort Duchesne Cubs who have played some fine baseball behind the strong pitching of Emmett Duncan and Ralph Serawop,' Jr. One of the leading hitters in the league is Cub third baseman Lyle Jenks. The Randlett Dodgers are in fourth place but as they gain experience they will be tough for any team. Jubal and Doby Myore, along with Lynn Santio are im- proving each game and will soon begin winning their games. Next month the complete results and rosters of the teams will be published in the Bulletin. GIRLS SOFTBALL The 8 to 11 year old girls in White-rocorganized their own team and have played two practice games against Roosevelt teams. Although the girls lost, they displayed some good play and showed a large Improvement between the games. The other girls teams were not able to organize quickly enough to enter a league and an intramural type of program will be run for them. The Red Americans and Greenrlvers ladies softball teams have been playing in the Roosevelt league and will participate in the tournament later this month. Complete results will be carried ks later. MENS SOFTBALL local mens softball teams are presently entered in the Roosevelt City The Fort Duchesne slow pitch league. Reed and the Ute Bush Bucks coached by the Recreation DeIndians sponsored by at the halfway point in league partment are Two play with the Bucks tied for first place with only one loss. The Utes have not been able to win as yet but have improved steadily and could be one of the spoilers before the league ends. Two teams from here are invited to play in the Vernal City Fast pitch league beginning July 11 and it is hoped we can get the teams to play in this league. All players are Invited to contact Rex LaRose, recreation director, if they sire interested in playing. LAGOON TRIP The Randlett group made the initial trip to lagoon on June 20 and even though the bus broke down twice, had a good time. The other groups have had to wait for the bus to be repaired from the first trip but will get their chance to make this trip soon. CAMPING TRIPS Many of the children have indicated an Interest in camping and we are presently planning a camping trip to Rock Creek for several of the groups. It is hoped that the weekend of the 22 will be available to make FORT DUCHESNE CUBS AND CHIEFS Practicing but week at the ball diamond In the Circle Included (front row from left) Amos Perank, Jr., Geoffry Serawop, Robert Cuch, Parley Serawop, Chris Cesapooch, Lucas Black, Elston Wyasket and Terry Cuch; (back row from left) Oule Chapoose, Roy Cesspooch, Jr., Emerson Serawop, Ralph Serawop, Jr, Carlisle Cuch, Lyle Jenks, Anthony Wyasket and Stanford Cuch, assistant coach. this trip. Another camping trip which is being planned is to the Pow Wow at Fort Hall, Ida., the first week in August and we would like to have those interested in making this trip sign up at the Recreation Office or call Rex LaRose at the Tribal office, COMMENTS feel working in recreation is the easiest, simplest Job which they can have. I would have to agree that if the program is well planned and supervised this could appear to be the case to a person who is not familiar with the procedures involved in setting up and supervising a recreation activity. The recreation staff which is presently augmented by several outstanding high school graduates and college students are given the responsibility to set up, plan and administer a comprehensive recreational program for the members of the Ute Indian Tribe. That we are able to do this and make it appear to be the simplest and easiest job on the reservation is a credit to our staff and their excellent job of organizaMany people tion. Some of our summer helpers have found out that in order to provide the type of program required we have to put aside our own lives and families and give ourselves to the children. Some of the people have not been able to give this much of themselves and have found that their performance on the job suffers, their family suffers and they are unable to come to work on a regular basis. These people do themselves a disservice by attempting to stay in the recreational field as their complete dedication of their time must be to the program and they must set aside their own preferences. THOSE LAZY DAYS Of summer are cool and enjoyable at the Tribal pool. Roderick Groves Is pool manager, with Annette Parrlette (seated in lifeguard chair) as assistant manager and swim instructor. Lifeguards art Diane Valverde and Gwen Richens. Working as lifeguard trainees this summer art Hope Serawop and Herbert Cuch.
