Publication No. 047 - 400 BEAVER, UTAH THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2010 Beaver County Sheriff's Report A Cheerleader, A Pirate, And A Prep... by Meili Christiansen A cheerleader, a pirate, a prep, a runner, a skater, a ginger, and a nerd alt sat in an empty classroom. Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke, right? It might be, but this particular bunch of students were anxiously waiting for their impromptu round to start at the Snow College Spooky Speak Off. On October 29th and 30th the Beaver High School Speech & Debate Team competed at the Snow College Spooky Speak O f f » a very long name for a very enjoyable tournament. The students were told to dress up for Halloween and, accordingly, the college campus was swarmed by ghosts, pirates, monsters, and cartoon characters. There was no "Novice Division" at this tournament so the new students on the team were thrown in with the wolves. Beaver placed 3rd , among fifteen 2A, 3A, 4A, and BA schools. The following students placed or made it to finals: Shashi Patel, 1st place in Lincoln Douglas Debate; Cesar Vega, 1st place in Spar; Chancy Call, 1st place in Humorous Interpretation; Meili Christiansen, 2nd place in Dramatic Interpretation; Jessica Jones, 3rd place in Humorous interpretation; Lane-Yardley, 4th place in Humorous Interpretation; Kenny Bradley and Steven Wayman, 4th place in Public Forum; Tina Smith, 4th place in Dramatic Interpretation, and Shashi Patel, 5th place in Impromptu Speaking. The finalists in Impromptu include: Amber Mitchell, Braidan Coombs, and Spencer Jones. Megan Call made it finals in Oratory and Shashi Patel made it to finals in Extemporaneous Speaking.' Three weeks earlier, on October 8th and 9th, the team made their mark at the Dixie High Debate tournament, competing against 3A, 4A, and 5A schools. The following eight students from Beaver placed at the tournament: Meili Christiansen, 1st in Dramatic Interpretation; Tyler Adams, 2nd in Novice Extemporaneous Speaking; Lane Yardley, 2nd Novice Humorous Interpretation; Amber Mitchell and Spencer Jones, 3rd in Duo Interpretation; Samantha Zoucha, 4th in Impromptu Speaking; Jake Smith 4th and Dallas Jessup 5th in Novice Congress. In accordance with Mr. Clarke's itinerary, the team went home with "mucho trophies". The next week the team won "mucho trophies" again! The Beavers went to a little town with bright lights in Nevada, any guesses where? That's right, the Beavers went to Vegas!! Just kidding, they went to Virgin Valley, which is still in Nevada, and lots of their competitors were from Vegas, so it almost counts. Anyway, this tournament was held on Saturday the 6th, and since this was a one day tournament, the BHS students had to wake up around 5:00 a.m. and compete all day until around 6:00 p.m. It was all worth it at the awards assembly when Beaver placed 4th in the sweepstakes, and the following 7 students placed against some very difficult competition: Jacob Smith, 1st in Novice Impromptu; Chancy all, 2nd in Humorous Interpretation; Meili Christiansen, 2nd in Dramatic Interpretation; Lane Yardley, 2nd in Novice Humorous interpretation; Kimberly Nevarez, 5th in Novice Dramatic Interpretation; Zac Welling, 5th in Novice Humorous Interpretation; and Megan Call, 5th in Novice Oratory. The team's next tournament isn't until December 4th at the Cedar City High School show-down. The coaches say "Our team's performance at the last three tournaments has established Beaver as a respected debate force in Southern Utah this season."

Lt Keith Draper Beaver County Correctional Facility SINGLE COPY 50 CENTS | n A Nut Shell Home Country By Mayor Mark J Yardley November 10, 2010 This time of year is always a touching time for me as I witness the generosity and kindness our community displays. Our citizens always watch out for those in need. May we always keep an eye out for those who can use a hand up ora kind word. We will be getting a new elementary, school. Job well done to all those involved. The project with the springs at Baker Canyon is far surpassing our expectations. We have located some awesome springs that we did not know existed. Always take precautions when dealing with any salesperson "door to door" or telephone. The rule of thumb: anything that sounds too good to be true 99.99 percent of the time is not true. We unanimously passed a spice ordinance. It is illegal to sell or use Spice in Beaver City. Deaths have been associated with spice. (Spice is a synthetic type of marijuana.)^ May God continue to bless this Community.

Completed ballots must be returned by mail or to the Beaver County FSA office at 620 North Main in Beaver by Dec. 6,2010. "I strongly recommend that producers vote because the county committee members play a huge role in the Agency, especially at the county level," said Hendricks. "County committee members make decisions on how federal farm programs will be administered locally," she said. Farmers and ranchers who participate in FSA programs are eligible to vote. If eligible voters do not receive a ballot by mail, one will be provided by the local USDA Service Center. Ballots returned by mail must be postmarked no later than Dec. 6, 2010. New county committee members will assume their role and related responsibilities on Jan. 1,2011.

Progress is needed, Factories and condos come Not a bad old.deaf. Sarah smiled noncommittally and moments later, Doc walked in with his piece of paper. Tying on a fly, Lunker waiting in the poof, I'll need more than luck. Dewey, in a fit of mechanically-inclined literacy, handed her this one: Engine coughing hard, Power to the solenoid, Purring nice and smooth. Later that afternoon, Steve walked in the store, removed his hat, and handed Sarah the following: Saddle up o/' Snort Take a deep seat and short rein He wont buck me off. So far, not one from a woman. Sarah sighed and added Steve's to the growing stack just as Dud walked in. He handed it to her.
