Young Jennifer Beene, 15, sister to former Clearfield High girls athletic greats, Janet and Jackie will come to Clearfield next year and try to add another colorful page to the sports feats already firmly established by her two older sisters. But before expectations rise too high about her three upcoming years as a Falcon, Jennifer Beene admirers wont forget the spectacular feats she demonstrated in three years as a Sunset Junior High Devil. Those sports accomplishments and the memories she left with coaches, fans, and teammates were more than enough to have her selected as the top Girl Athlete of the Year at Sunset Junior. She received the award in a Pep Club, Cheerleader, Girls Athletic Banquet on May 16th. Christie Nicholas, who says it was her privilege to coach Jennifer through three years of junior high sports, had this to say about her star athlete, Jennifer never gave up. She has been one of the most dedicated and talented athletes Ive ever worked with. I just wish we could keep her. Jennifer is the last and final daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jimmy R.Beene of Sunset, Utah. As Coach Nicholas said, theres no more. After Jennifer, Jant Beene is the oldest daughter in the family and after a high successful elected to attend Weber State College. At the present time she is working towards a degree in Physical Education. She has been an active member of Wildcat Volleyball, basketball, track, and softball teams. Jackie Beene graduated from Clearfield in 1978 as one of the most talented-gifte- d women athletes in its history. Brigham Young University saw what they wanted from Jackie and signed her to play basketball for the following year. This past season, the Cougars used Jackie well and were able to take first place in the Western Athletic Conference. Running down the list of Jennifers accomplishments at Sunset Junior is an eye opener. She was a starter on the volleyball team in both her eighth and ninth grade years. This past season the team captures the league championship, with Jennifer as co- captain. In basketball, Jennifer started every year as a Sun Devil. As an eighth grader she pumped in 19.1 points per game. The year she ended up with a 22.5 point average, averaged a whopping 17 rebounds a game, and was a field goal shooter. In track she ran two years in the 220, and anchored the 440 and 880 relay teams. In softball this year, Jennifer committed only one error all season, while batting .720 with 6 home runs.

Each year, bald and golden eagles come into Utah in the fall to winter, and leave again in March. This year, many eagles spent the winter months in the Lost Creek area of Morgan County.

Eagles need open areas for hunting, and many times they were seen flying low over the mountains searching for their next meal.

Eagles are also carrion eaters, and if unsuccessful at hunting, eat road-kille- d animals, or the abondoned prey remnants of more successful hunters. According to the most recent county by the Division of Wildlife Resources, there were 658 bald eagles spotted in Utah in January, 1979. There were about ten eagles wintering in Lost Creek, but most of them were golden. These eagles can adapt to many environments, and seem to have found their winter home in Morgan County. The graceful ease with which these large birds fly is a pleasure to watch, and hopefully all will get to see them when they return next fall to Lost Creek. |
