Laura Pollock of Tropic and her children are participating in the Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti. They have been working and rehearsing very hard and loving it. They say it will help their testimonies grow even more. If you have never been to the Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti you should make the trip no matter who you are you will enjoy the acting and music and sitting under the stars watching this with the Manti Temple as a backdrop. Later in the month Stetson and Oakley will go to Cedar Mountain Science Camp. This is a camp for children interested in learning more about science and it is done very well. They will love it also. Sounds like the Pollock family has a busy schedule ahead of them. Derrick are you joining in all this fun? Cub Scouts will be held once a month in the summer with the monthly pack meeting as well. Judy Frost is holding scouts here and there to help the boys pass a few more things off. There are so many things the boys can pass off during the summer if they will sit down with their parents and look through their book. Camping and outdoor activities and even the Zoo are some of the things they can do. Parents work with your boys over the summer and help them pass off some of their work from the cub scout handbook. Coming up in July on the 11th there will be the Blood Drive to be held at the Tropic Church House. You can call Annette Chynoweth at 6798755 to make an appointment. The appointments will run from 1 - 6 P.M. on that day and she is the contact person to go
to. The American Red Cross and the Escalante Utah Stake are working together on this so we hope you will volunteer a few minutes of your time, if you are able, and donate a bit of blood to help those in need. Lesha Le Fevre graduated from Snow College and was on the Dean’s List of Academic Achievement. She has been accepted at the Weber State University Radiology Program and will work on the Provo Outreach Campus. Her Internship will be at the American Fork Hospital and she is looking forward to that time. She will be home in Tropic for the summer and then spend 20 months of schooling to get her degree. Congratulations Leshia. We all knew you could do this and you will be great. Lesha is the daughter of Layne and April Le Fevre of Tropic. Another daughter, Leslie Porter of Taylorsville is teaching school there. She has been teaching the second grade but will be moving on to the third grade soon. Jennie Le Fevre is presently in St. George at the Rehab Center and is coming along. Her children and grandchildren have been great to be with her when she needed them. She lives in Kanab and had Levi and Samantha Le Fevre and Lesha helping her get on the road to recovery. We send our thoughts and prayers to you Jennie. Tristan, Cherie Moss Hathaway, new little baby daughter, Abigail Josephine, Katie and Logan have all been here visiting with John and Ramona Morreale. Of course Grandma is happy about that and the chance to
spoil these beautiful grandchildren. Dad Tristan had to leave them here to go back to Colorado to work and then he will come back to get them. The whole family has been tripping all over visiting family and friends. It is fun to travel but there is nothing like getting home and into your own environment. Now if we could only find someone to do the unpacking then it would be perfect. Today was the Missionary Farewells for Alexis Tebbs and Josh Spencer. Alexis is headed to Mississippi Jacksonville and Josh is going to Texas Fort Worth. Alexis enters the MTC on the 19th and Josh on the 12th. They did a wonderful job today and young men and young women did a great job of singing a medley “Called to Serve”. David and Cherie Tebbs are Alexis’ parents with Rod and Katherine Syrett as grandparents in Bryce Canyon City and Mike and Margaret Tebbs of Panguitch are also grandparents. Josh is the son of Boyd and Nanette Spencer of Tropic. We send them off with the best wishes to stay healthy and safe. On June 21st and 22nd it will be the Escalante Stake Father’s and Son’s outing at Sweet Water. A reminder to ALL Young Men and Young Women that the Seminary building will be the place to be every Tuesday night this summer. Monte Twitchell will be holding classes at 7:00 P.M. for your enjoyment. Gayle Moore and Karin Barker have been called to be Girl’s Camp Unit Leaders from Henrieville. A very successful Music
Camp was held and we are working on getting a report together for you. Coming up this summer will be Summer Reading Program starting the first week in July. It will be held two days a week and Samie Ott and Kim Stewart are in charge. Here is your student’s chance to catch up on some good reading over the summer. Gayle Moore and a lot of teachers from Iron County attended a Writing Conference in the Iron County School District Office. It was sponsored by the Utah Professional Development Center out of Salt Lake. It was a free conference and those who attended had a great time and received some helpful materials. Just to make it clear, the Wagstaff family of Tropic are NOT moving. We don’t want to lose them and for some reason folks thought they were moving away from us. Thank goodness. The Astronomy Festival held at Bryce Canyon National Park was a big success. They had a great turnout and lots of people came to support the many activities that took place. Such things as solar beads, looking at the stars at night, and all kinds of booths and activities. Thanks to the YCC for their help and especially to the park for doing this each year. Well, Father’s Day is next on the celebration calendar and we want to wish all the Father’s out there a very happy Father’s Day. We love you guys. Have a great week and please call or email your news to me. See if you do then you don’t have to hear about my news all the time. Thanks VS

We love Panguitch and its people! This weekend the BMW bikers will be in town and there will be a lot of rides for them offered. These get together are times to renew old acquaintances from years past. The Beamers have been coming here for the last fourteen out of fifteen years and are fun people to be around. There will be horse races here on June 22, hopefully. These races have been scheduled before and something interfered with each time, so keep your finger crossed, they are fun. I will have more information next week. Brady Eyer is heading the race meet and like all events there is a big need of help. Brady is training 27 race horses and can be seen riding out at the track late at night. SUMMER FEST 2013. The Panguitch Lake Fire Department will hold a fund raiser on Saturday July 6th.

KNOCK-OUT
FYI Panguitch
Diane Fullmer put a lot of fun into this event. The many quilts that were on display at the high school were all winners, what talent and what a lot of time it takes to shape a piece of fabric into a work of art!. Hours that go into producing these works of art are unbelievable. I hear that the food that Pat Foy and her team served at lunch time was outstanding. Quilting is a fun activity and it isn’t just for old folks either, next year put these quilting classes on your bucket list. Was there anyone in Panguitch that did not volunteer to help at the Quilt Walk Festival? It never ceases to amaze me the number of “willing to serve” people this town has produced and imported! Pat said to tell the many who participated in the Chocolate Fest and The Pioneer Home Tours that the events were not only fun, entertaining, informative, beautiful, pleasant to the eyes, a joy to the ears, exciting, and delicious, but they were a financial success for the Sub for Santa fund. Please know your help, donations, talent, homes and much effort was very much appreciated. Just to give you a little insight into the number of people who participated in the success of the Chocolate Fest: LaVenda, Linda, Claudia, Jory, Kory, Max, Kevin, Mack, Stefen, Kelly, Shawn, Pat, Dave, Evelyn, Deanna L, Deanna M, Louise, Caryl, Emma, Miriam, Michele, Ardith, Becky, Cheryl, Josiah, McKenna, Katelyn, Marlee, Pearl, Gwen, John, Tammy, Frecia, Marilyn B.

by Mack Oetting ~ mackoetting @gmail.com This last week was kinda a blur, with so much going on. The Quilt Walk Festival is a busy time in Panguitch. The Play had a lot of new faces and Mr. Humble, John Blevins told me not to worry, the Spirit will get them and all will be well and God will provide. I have never seen Elaine Baldwin, the director, so excited about the outcome of the play, in the 15 years it has been put on. Everyone preformed at their best, and it was a fun time. I remember the first year the Play was put on, some of the main characters didn’t feel that they had to attend the practices and there were people behind the curtains telling them their parts, it was a disaster. Saturday started off with the Lions Club breakfast that was well attended and a great turnout of the Lions. It was followed by the tractor parade and old autos and this event just keeps getting larger. The cars were beautiful and I hope you got down to the fair grounds to look at them up close, they are works of art. I didn’t have time to get down to the tractor pull, but with all the tractors it must have been something. There were 6 teams that took part in the Quilt Race and all were winners, getting cup cakes for prizes. The Pioneer village and petting zoo was well attended. One of the missions of the Quilt Walk Festival is to teach the children pioneer skills so that they will have an appreciation of their heritage. Not all children have an opportunity to pet animals and get up close to them; the petting zoo is a wonderful to see animals close up. Thanks Decker’s! The Quilt classes were well attended and there were great teachers for the “Trunk Shows” and many prizes awarded. Jerilu Houston and

quilt. There will also be raffle items for your children and grandchildren. Raffle tickets will be available at the door, please come and join them and check out their new station. The agriculture water started this week and if you don’t know your water day, check out the schedule at the Post Office. We bought a new car the other day. This will be our 3rd Ford Explorer, ours was 14 years old and had 350,000 miles on it. New charges that surprised me is that the buyer has an advertizing fee at $800, the gas you used get from the dealer for free, they now fill up your car at the factory and the cost is $64.00. This is the forth car that we have bought through COSCO, and there is a real big saving going through them. Well we have some candidates for the empty Mayors and City Council positions. I was wrong about the highest vote getter getting the 4 year terms, you have to declare which position you are filing for. Eric Houston was the only one to file for the Mayors position and will serve for two years. The candidates for the two, two year Council positions are Lloyd Brinkerhoff, Harshad Desai, Connie Orton and Trudy Owens. For the two, four year Council positions there are three candidates: Tim Smith, Kim Sopper and myself Mack O. Because there aren’t more than two candidates for each position there won’t have to be a run off. I have been informed that this election will be run by mail (I am not sure what that means). Elections are expensive, those great machines cost to rent and you have to pay for judges. Boy is it hot, try to stay cool. Mack O.
