Dom Casillas - Grand Championship in the Junior Divison of the Utah Fancy Poultry Showdown and Darci BradshawGrand Reserve
What a great day we had today at the Utah Fancy Poultry Show
down in Ogden, which is part of the American Poultry Association.
Just what is this you ask? It’s a professional organization
dedicated to showing breeds of chickens that have been bred for showing. They
have certain standards that have to be met in order to even show. They have
these shows all over the country and even in Canada. They have a set of judges
that have been trained in judging chickens and are highly respected come in to
judge the chickens. One of the judges there today was from Canada. People from
all over come to participate in the shows. We were introduced to breeders from
Canada, Montana, someone was there from Florida. It’s a pretty big deal for
people who love chickens.
Dom and Darci were able to participate in the Jr Showmanship
division. They were verbally tested on the breeds of their bird and asked to
show their bird in various different degrees.
Rich County Cock-A-Doodle-4-H poultry club shined. Dom came home
with a grand championship in the junior division and Darci tied for grand
reserve. There were approximately 30 total participants ages 5-14 and
approximately 10 in their age group.
I am so proud of them and the time they have spent studying and
working with their birds. Hours have been spent handling studying washing and
grooming their birds.

Rich High School Receives Honors for Academic
and Athletic Excellence
Rich High School is proud to announce that it has received honors for both academic and athletic excellence. The volleyball team and the football team have the highest GPA in 1A and have been awarded with plaques from UHSAA as Academic State Champions. This is something that we are very proud of at Rich High School and we appreciate the teachers, students, and community placing such a high importance on our academic goals.
The
volleyball team has had a stellar season and are entering the state tournament
as a 3 seed. The team finished 1st place in region 22 with a record
of 10-0 and an overall record of 13-13. The
state tournament will be held at Utah Valley University on October 27th
and 28th.
The
regional meet for cross country was held in Manila, Utah on October 17,
2023. The boys and girls both worked
very hard and as a school we are so proud of their effort. The girls were crowned region champions and
Rich High School had 4 girls place in the top ten. Paige Smith placed 1st, Lyda
Taylor placed 2nd, Leah Peterson placed 3rd, and Rylee
Moldenhauer placed 8th.
Hudson Parry finished in 8th place in the boy’s race. Both the boys and girls teams qualified for
the state meet held next Tuesday October 24, 2023 held the Regional Sports
Complex in Salt Lake City.
Our
Rebel football team will have it’s final regular season game on the road against
Pinedale High School on Friday October 20.
Our football team currently has a record of 5-4 and will enter the UHSAA
8 player state tournament as the 1 seed.
The first playoff game will be held at Zion’s Bank Stadium in Salt Lake
City at 10 AM with the state championship the following week at Southern Utah
University.
We
have appreciated the great support from our Rich High School Cheerleaders. They are growing and improving weekly. They work hard and care about leading our
school in positive ways. Without our
cheerleaders, our school spirit would be minimal. They are at every home game come rain or
shine and they even trained the freshmen boys for a homecoming powderpuff
dance. They will also travel with the
teams for state events. Again, we appreciate
the school spirit that our cheerleaders bring to our school and games.
Rich
High School is proud of its students for their accomplishments both in the
classroom and on the field. The school is committed to providing its students
with a rigorous academic program and a variety of athletic opportunities. Rich
High School is a place where students can learn and grow to their full
potential and we are proud to be Rebels.

We are currently working on a project called #4Corners4Health, in collaboration with cancer centers in the 4 Corners states, including the Huntsman Cancer Institute at University of Utah, that aims to create a cancer prevention social media campaign for young adults in rural areas.

Rich County Emergency Management-Bryce Nielson
Rich County Emergency Management
Older Adult Preparedness
Being prepared for emergency situations is something we all
need to be prepared
for. In the last 20 years as the Rich County Emergency
Manager, I have seen
countless publications on how to Be Ready for an emergency.
Most of them have
focused on the general population, families, businesses,
schools, special needs
individuals and pets.
I know that in Rich County there are many older folks (I am
one of them) that
need to approach preparedness somewhat differently. I was
recently made
aware of a new FEMA publication that recognizes that older
adults often face
unique hurdles during disasters. The Disaster
Preparedness Guide for Older
Adults is a resource tailored to fit the community’s
specific needs. Click on the
link for all the information.
Designed with usability in mind, the guide features
user-friendly formats such as
checklists, tools, and resources. It also aligns with this
year’s FEMA Ready
Campaign theme, “Take Control in 1, 2, 3,” highlighting the
importance for older
adults to prepare by taking three essential steps—assessing
needs, creating a plan
and engaging support networks.
Caregivers, family members and those invested in the
well-being of older adults
will find this guide adaptable and indispensable in their
efforts to ensure the
safety and security of our older adult community members.
Please visit Ready.gov/Older-Adults to access the
guide and learn more about
FEMA’s efforts to support older adults during National
Preparedness Month and
beyond.
