Show FYJPANGUITCHI How about that weather, snow, snow and more snow? When you live in a desert this is the best words that you hear. I guesstamated we got about 18" of the powdery stuff out of the four storms that came through. It kind of looked like we weren't going to get much, till Thursday's down pour. I have owned a snow blower for 15 years and this is the first time I have used it, most of the time its easier to shovel than to start the blower up. In the eighteen years we have lived here this is the first time I remember getting more than one day's weather like that. Escalante, Tropic and Hatch all receive large amounts of snow, with Bryce Valley closing their schools on Friday because of all the snow that had accumulated. This is badly needed moisture that will help replenish our wells, springs and reservoirs. The snow really warmed things up also. Thank you City workers! ! ! I bet Panguitch is the only community that had it surface and back street plowed during these big snow storms. Another Job "well done". Thanks from us who are getting to expect only the best from our City Employees because that is what they deliver!!! The Nathan Myers family would like to thank the Community for all their love, support, and generosity in their time of need. And also the city of Panguitch Firefighters and Sheriff department for their service and a job well done. Thank You and God Bless. If you are wondering why Bonnie Owens is looking so good and free from stress is because she got her check up and the Doctor's pronounced her "CANCER FREE". She doesn't have to be tested again except for routine visits for the next 3 years!!! Way to go Bonnie. Now that is the kind of "Good news" I like to report! Good news from the school district. The School Board on a three to two vote, put Janice Hatch into the School Superintendent position upon the ending of the former Superintendent's contract. Janice has been doing the job for the last eight months and has the support of most of the employees in the district. The last time Garfield School District got in trouble financially wise, in the 90s, the majority of the cuts came from Panguitch schools. Five teachers were cut, as was the art department, shop classes, music and 3 teachers from the Elementary school. The saw mill left and attendance was way down in Panguitch and the cuts were probably justified. Panguitch has rebounded and the smallest class at the Elementary is 34. Panguitch student level is up over 100 in the Elementary school alone. The schools in Panguitch have more students, than all of the other schools combined Again the Board is making cuts in the District, however only Panguitch will be losing teachers. Again they are cutting the Art Department to part time. The students are required to have 1 'A units to graduate. Mr. Harris is an Art teacher who can teach many subjects pertaining to art, pottery, painting, and photography (a class he has 22 students in ) to name a few. Why is it that, the first thing that gets cut is the Arts? Yes, they are cutting the Drama class also. To me, the Drama and Debate gets the students into speaking situations that can't be taught any other way. The other big cut is at the Elementary school, in their reading program. This program is funded by Senate bill 230. I know personally what a wonderful program we have. Marilyn Marshall started this program and has been replaced by Mr. Torgersen, who is even working with kindergartener students. Panguitch Elementary has 260 students and 5 aids. On the other end of the district we have Boulder Elementary who has 3 aids and a teacher for 9 students. We are right back where we were 5 years ago. We will be losing excellent teachers in Art, Drama, Reading Program and a teacher at the Elementary school. I can't say enough how important these programs are and what they mean to the education of your children. If you are as concerned as I am about these cuts please call your school board members and ask them if there isn't a better way to cut cost than at the expense of the Panguitch Students. Remember that your opinion matters. If you are pleased or displeased with the losses of teacher and changes in your student's options in education in your community; DO Not hesitate to speak up, tell your board members, they are elected to serve you. FYI - For Your Information. Keep the good stuff coming. Mack O. mackoetting@gmail.com 40 BISON WILL SOON HAVE A NEW HOME Bullfrog - Forty bison will soon have a new home in northeastern Utah. Many Utahns don't realize that a free-ranging herd of bison occupies 240 square miles of open country on the northwest side of Lake Powell. The Henry Mountains herd began in 1941, when the Utah Department of Fish and Game trucked three bulls and 15 cows from Yellowstone National Park to the Henry Mountains. That small herd of 18 animals has grown to more than 300 bison today. The herd continues to provide Utah's sportsmen with a unique hunting opportunity. The bison that were captured on the Henry Mountains on Jan. 15 and 16 will join about 50 bison that already occupy the Book Cliffs in east-central Utah. This herd was established in 2008 and 2009 with 14 animals donated from the Ute Tribe and an additional 30 bison coming from the Henry Mountains. Calves have been born since then, which has added even more animals to the herd. The 40 bison, which will be released in the Book Cliffs on Jan. 20, will bolster Utah's newest bison herd. Capturing and moving a buffalo is extremely risky. To try and minimize the danger, the DWR decided to capture only calves, cows and yearling bulls. These animals weigh between 300 and 800 pounds. Leading Edge Aviation, a company that specializes in capturing wildlife, was contracted to accomplish the aerial rodeo work! The DWR developed a capture plan that involved the use of two aircraft a fixed wing aircraft with DWR spotters in it, and a helicopter capture craft operated by Leading Edge Aviation. The spotters kept track of the bison herd from the air, while the capture craft concentrated entirely on the rodeo show. Once the spotters spotted the bison, they let the capture crew know where the animals were. The helicopter then closed in and singled out one bison. That animal was cut out from the herd, and a net from a specially designed rifle was fired over it. Once the net landed on the animal, the net entangled the bison and it dropped to the ground. At that point, crewmen called "muggers" jumped from the chopper and blindfolded and hobbled the immobilized animal. The muggers then rolled the animal into a carry bag. Within seconds of rolling the bison into the bag, the chopper dropped a cable to the muggers, and they attached the cable to the bag. The helicopter then slung the bison through the air to a crew waiting on the ground. The ground crew consisted of DWR personnel. The crew was positioned about 10 air miles from the capture location, on one of only a few roads that access LEGAL 1 PLEVEIGKSJ NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE The following described property will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder, payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of sale, at the Main Front Entrance in Garfield County, Utah on February 24, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. of said day, for the purpose of foreclosing a Trust Deed originally executed byJULIO V.
