Sherri, Darby & Greg Hanna awarding the Best Sportsmanship Trophy to Maddie Meyer

Story by Sherri Hanna; photos by Stan Krute

It was a cool and cloudy day for the 11th annual Rachel Hanna Swim Olympics, but that did not deter the eager swimmers from coming out and having a fabulous day of fun. Over 100 parents and children attended the event and had a great day of swimming and competing in games such as Coin Wish Pond, Rubber Ducky Push and the Biggest Splash Contest.

The coveted Sportsmanship trophy was awarded to Maddie Meyer, daughter of Steve and Jennifer Meyer of Etna. Her name will be added to the plaque that remains in the lobby of Scott Valley Community Swimming Pool throughout the year. Several other participants were given Best Sportsmanship ribbons and ice cream certificates to Dotty’s in Etna. These winners are observed throughout the day by secret judges who select the children who exhibit good manners and kindness to others. These traits were some of Rachel Hanna’s most notable and this is how she is honored each year at the swim Olympics.

The Hanna Family would like to say thank you to everyone who attends and participates, and to Cliff’s Trophy in Yreka for donating the Sportsmanship trophy each year. As the Scott Valley Swimming pool officially closed the day before on August 20th, a special thank you to the pool staff and lifeguards for staying on one more day!

The whole group of Olympians!

The Scott Valley Bluegrass Festival, a fundraiser for Scott Valley Scholarships and Educational Awards, is being held at the Etna City Park this weekend. In addition to great Bluegrass music, there are art and craft vendors, and tons of good food and drink. I went for the BBQ Pork Sandwich from the Rotary Club of Scott Valley, and a 50/50 lemonade & ice tea from the Scott Valley Jr. Pleasure Park booth.

Photos taken on Friday at Weed Carnevale. At Carnevale, you’ll find rides, vendor booths, bocce ball tournaments, softball tournaments, and entertainment. Also, you can get a fantastic tri-tip sandwich from Spini Catering for $5.00 ($5.00! Are you kidding me! It’s worth $10.00). Proceeds from the tri-tip  benefits South Siskiyou Men’s Softball and the  Mt. Shasta Lady Bears. The Weed High school football team is selling ice cream bars. It’s the perfect dessert after the tri-tip. Trust me on this one. The Weed Lady Cougars softball team has a booth, as well as several other local youth and non-profit booths. Please support the local vendors. When you do, your money helps make our community better.

Okay, so I know what you’re thinking. “What does a hawk have to do with Siskiyou Youth?”

Not much, I guess. But, here’s the story anyway.

My brother and I were up on Humbug in Yreka, when the Red Tail Hawk started flying around at about eye level. It was pretty cool. So, I grabbed my camera from the truck. By the time I had the camera in hand, the hawk had landed in the top of a small oak tree just downhill from where we were standing.

As you can see, the hawk was also a bit interested in what the guy with the camera was doing. It hung out for a couple for minutes and then went soaring in the updraft.

In case anyone cares, here’s a link to some info on red tail’s

Photos taken in downtown Mount Shasta on Saturday, July 3.

Festivities continue tomorrow, July 4. According to the Mt. Shasta Chamber of Commerce website:

Sunday, July 4th will start off with the Mountain Runners fun-run/walk at 8:30 am — register and have a good time walking the two miles while being fed and entertained. Registered walk/run participants have a chance to win the grand prize: Certified 2008 Dodge Caliber (4 cylinder, automatic transmission with sun roof, hatchback and CD player and radio.) Sponsored by Mt Shasta’s S.J. Denham and Mountain Runners.

At noon the parade will be on its way. This year’s open theme is all about having a good time and allow everyone’s imagination to come up with great floats or drill teams.

After the parade everyone can enjoy themselves at the Mount Shasta Resort for their traditional “Customer Appreciation Day” — listen to music and get your favorite seat for the community’s largest fireworks show yet!

The photos will be high quality and high resolution (photos on SiskiyouYouth slide shows have reduced resolution to facilitate faster downloading.)The price for photo shoots varies depending on location, sport, and buyer’s expectations.
