Locker Room Chats

Sports Editor: Adam Youngblood

Eric Mozon, a fresh-

man, is a Wampus

Cat athlete. Partici-

pating in cross

country, basketball,

and track, Eric has

shocked the Wam-

pus Cat Locker

room with his im-

mense speed. Mozon

competed along

with his fellow team

members in the

State cross country

meet. In basketball, Eric competed as a post and was

able to force his way through the crowd in the paint

and receive multiple rebounds. In track, Mozon uses

his speed in the 200 meter dashes and the 4x200 me-

ter relays starting the cats off as the first leg. Eric has

impressed the coaches along with his fellow team-

mates and they plan to use and grow his talents with

the three remaining years.

Stacie Rodriguez, a

sophomore, is a popular

member of the Itasca

Lady Wampus Cats as

her coaches have been

watching her this past

year. Participating in

volleyball and Softball,

Rodriguez has grown

into an athlete of many

talents. Working in the

back row with the 21st

century volleyball girls,

Stacie used her strength

in order to push the ball across. In softball, Stacie com-

petes in the outfield where her talents are used the same

while she can make almost any throw throughout the

field. She has been participating in a summer league

along with some of the other softball girls and has been

making a name for herself at first base as well. Her

coaches plan to use her even more and she might have

found herself a new spot as well.

Itascans Reminded About

Swimming Pool Placement,

Construction Ordinance An Itasca city ordinance requires a 6 foot fence with

a lockable gate for any pool over 24” in depth. In Jan-

uary of 2004, the Itasca City Council adopted the

Itasca Zoning Ordinance, which outlined the need for

specific permits, such as the placement of pools and the

requirements of the con-

struction. Pools cannot be

placed in front or side

yards, only in back yards

with the 6’ fence. Both the

beauty and safety of Itasca

depends on the adherence

to these ordinances and

codes.

Do You Remember…?

Harvest Moon Columnist Carl Sweeney, reprinted from Issue #38, 2006

It is said that the earth and human activities awaken in the spring. To me the great-

est awakening is in the fall when the weather turns cooler, and the fall activities start. It

is rejuvenation after the long, hot, lethargic summer. We start looking forward to the

many activities of fall and early winter. At the beginning of fall, we at the farm wound

up our last crops, did the last bit of canning, picking berries and storing produce in the

cellar for the winter. We also did syrup making and on rainy days shucking corn for

livestock, and chicken feed. Then, there was wood to be cut for the fireplace for winter.

We did not consider Labor Day a reprieve from labor, just another day to prepare for

the winter. This was also to time to plant fall gardens, such as turnips, collard greens, radishes, wheat, and oats.

In earlier days, school did not start until the middle of September or later. This was so the kids could help har-

vest the last of the crops. We started in September and finished school the last week of May. This was when school

had only eleven grades. We had no kindergarten, no other government test, only final exams. We still graduated

and entered college and we did it without mandated tests. What happened?

Along about the third week in September, the fall season starts in earnest. The days and nights have cooled,

the fall equinox is upon us, and we are entering the last quarter of the year. Then what could be called a phenom-

enon occurs, it is called the “Harvest Moon.” To some of us it haunts our thoughts in anticipation of its coming.

On the night when the “Harvest Moon” is to occur, Marguerite and I like to sit in the backyard swing to await its

appearance. Just after sundown and twilight is falling upon us a magnificent moon starts peeping over the eastern

horizon. It seems to be close enough to touch. To some of us it sends delicious chills through our veins. If one real-

ly thinks about it, this is a truly magical moment. To us sitting in the swing it is a romantically sentimental mo-

ment, also. Such as “Lost in Fantasy or Reverie,” or “Moonstruck.”

When I was young I often walked through the woods when the moon was brightest. Everything seemed to take

on a magical quality and soft glow. The color of the grasses and trees seemed to blend. The house doesn’t seem to

need that paint jobs so bad in the soft light. Also, at this time, the harsh reality of the large cities of the world is

gently massaged away.

If the harvest moon seems to be brighter, it is. At this time it is some thirty thousand miles closer to earth. It is

now that our fall activities begin in earnest. School is in session, football season has started, PTA meetings begin,

band boosters are active and Thanksgiving is upon us, which as we know, is one of our greatest family times.

Some people and especially the stores have begun to prepare for Christmas.

Then when the first cold norther comes in November, we start thinking and preparing for hog killing and

those good old sugar cured hams and bacon. This also is the time for deer hunting and harvesting pecans. Now

comes Christmas, which to some is the most important and enjoyable time of the year. Then we celebrate the New

Year, and everything starts all over again.

The following Poem seemed to fit today’s column. I hope you like it too. By: Patricia Wyatt, Ventura, CA

Autumn chill is in the air,

Golden leaves are everywhere.

Apple trees with bright red fruit,

Scarecrow has a brand-new suit.

Fields of Pumpkins, orange and green.

Children everywhere thinking Halloween.

Haystacks standing straight and tall

Waiting for the harvest ball.

Picking berries, making jam

Making pies, baking ham.

Busy days full of cheer

Oh, how I love this time of year.

Happy 4th of July!! Firework Safety Tips

Obey all local laws regarding the use of fireworks.

Know your fireworks; read the cautionary labels and performance descriptions before igniting.

A responsible adult SHOULD supervise all firework activities.

Alcohol and fireworks do not mix. Save your alcohol for after the show.

Light one firework at a time and then quickly move away.

Use fireworks OUTDOORS in a clear area; away from buildings and vehicles.

Never relight a “dud” firework. Wait 20 minutes and then soak it in a bucket of water.

Always have a bucket of water and charged water hose nearby.

Never carry fireworks in your POCKET or shoot them into METAL or GLASS containers.

Do not experiment with homemade fireworks.

Dispose of spent fireworks by wetting them down and place in a metal trash can away from any building or combustible materials until the next day.

FAA regulations PROHIBIT the possession and transportation of fireworks in your checked baggage or car-ry-on luggage.

Report illegal explosives, like M-80s and quarter sticks, to the fire or police department. And let’s not forget the safety of our pets!

Don’t bring your pets to a fireworks display, even a small one.

If fireworks are being used near your home, put your pet in a safe, interior room to avoid exposure to the sound.

Make sure your pet has an identification tag, in case it runs off during a fireworks display.

Never shoot fireworks of any kind (consumer fireworks, sparklers, fountains, etc.) near pets.
