But the Royals forgot that they were supposed to lose to the best team in the state, and fought them right down o the wire, and then lost by four win-los- r, points. The final score was 5 for Hiilcrest. Hiilcrest scored first and showed signs of blowing Roy off the court in the early minutes of play, but the at halftime. The teams played on even terms through the third quarter, but the home team was ahead going into the last eight minutes.

So Roy High School is finished for the 1979-8season, but they went down fighting, and against the number one rated team in all of Utah. It has been a frustrating year for this year's Royals. They lost a number of ball games that might have gone either way. Coach Smith played a lot of sophomores and juniors this year, and that will help in the years to come. 0 victory. Robb Thomas led the Royal scoring with four buckets and 5 for 7 from the line to make 13 points. Dennis Adams and Steve Scholtec each made ten for Roy. Brown of Hiilcrest was top scorer for either team, and player put in 14.

The kids that will be most affected will be those in the River Valley Subdivision There are no sidewalks along the frontage road, it could be a very dangerous situation lor them. said Joe Christopher. Christopher also noted that the placement of the warning lights near the crosswalks adjacent to the school is :,ol in compliance with state law. As it stands now the area between the signs is a sort of unregulated speed zone "Wi ought to consider two more Hashing lights to install there so that you are in compliance with state law and to protect the children, he said The council voted to study the matter and to come up with a plan of action Virgil Hosier and his attorney, William Marsh, requested action from die uty in either piping or placing drainage through Hosiers pioNrty Marsh presented drawings sion and photos ot the flooding that occurs when heavy lams or snows fall. The ditch has been on the property for many years and collects waters from the three subdivisions in the area, varied springs and surlace runoff.

Hosier and his neighbor Leroy Cobia have had some damage to their gardens and yard from the overflowing ditch. Councilman Howard Coleman noted that "we have to get this litigation out of the way and solved before we can go ahead with any plan to take care of this situation. City - compete for the team and for themselves as individuals. I cant get too . excited publicly about one of our competitors first place wins, says Mrs. Ellis, because another of the students is usually close on their heels in second. These kids are excellent competitors and in most there are two or three team members that keep each other on their toes." Sometimes its mere chance that determines the winners. For example, at the recent State meet, one advanced level .Hi-Flibeat her age-grou- i i i teammate by three hundreths of a point. What excites me, continued Mrs. Ellis, is when the team wins or when a competitor who blows their pass refuses to be beaten. Citing another example from the recent meet, Mrs. Ellis remarked on a competitor who lost her balance after a front somie and fell during her second pass which gave her a zero and put her out of contention for the trophy. The girl, however, stood up, finished her entire pass with excellent form and ended with a large smile at the judges. She refused to leave the impression she couldnt handle it, remembered the coach. By the time a competitor reaches the advanced level, theyve learned to believe in themselves and theyd had to struggle and push. No matter what their standing at a meet, theyve become winners in as the drive had to have come from themselves. To become a member of the club, a has only to prospective register with Mrs. Ellis However, it is er a tft six years preferable that ,the child bFage ahd'defihitfeiy'fidyourigtr than five. They are capable of learning a lot before that age, stresses the coach, but for our type of program and coaching I feel they adjust better at that time. The student can pick up in one year at 6 years of age all that a student enrolled earlier does over a two or three year period which saves the parent money; and the student is not tired of tumbling when they reach eight and nine and can start to be really pushed in the sport. We are not easy on our students and are the first to realize this, finished Mrs. Ellis, but there are two reasons for this. First, I believe there is a certain amount of danger in the sport and a child who does not concentrate can be injured as they become more advanced and; secondly, when a child competes at the advanced level, and even at the novice and intermediate, the other competitors are not going to be easy on them especially nationally. A child has to exert themselves through the last pass and that takes determination, drive and The coaches must know their business as the persistent rise in five years to a second place National standing and an impressive history of wins along the way verifies. At the recent meet, the team won 14 of 19 individual first place trophies. They are the ranking Regional Tumbling Champions, second place National Tumbling Champions and have had numerous first and second place wins for individual team members at regional, national and world com petitions. n'i t J Team member Julie Beaty, an eighteen-year-ol- d Roy High School senior represented the club as the only woman on the U.S.A. team to compete in Bulgaria in last Augusts World Cup on platform tumbling. Despite an ankle injury suffered at the meet, Julie went on to win a fifth place award after finals. The are hosting a meet at Murray High School on April 18 and 19 with competitors competing in four separate events; power tumbling, double-min- i tramp, platform tumbling and acrosports. Anyone who likes gymnastics would love to watch this competition as the four events contain all the grace, strength and precision of the similar v sport. Teams from Montana, Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, and Washington are expected. The time to come is for the finals on Saturday at 4 when the top six in each event will be competing. Some of the best competitors in the nation will be at this meet as they attempt to qualify for the Nationals to be held on the third weekend of June in Illinois. The located at the Studio of the Arts in Clinton, are very eager to make a try at the first place national standing in June in Chicago. They realize, however, that it wont be easy as the Chicago team who has held that distinction for three years is very good, but theyre working and weve got good kids'1 insists both 1 coaches. Wildlife Week Attorney Frank Warner agreed and indicated that the lawsuit could be pursued more vigorously The issue in the suit is apparently whether or not the ditch is a storm drain or an irrigation ditch. Determination of the issue will decide how the ditch is to be used and regulated. Dee Feilding of Ulanco, a local company appeared with his bond Counsel Darrel Lawson to request approval of a resolution to set up an industrial bond for development of the former Rodeway Inn property in West Riverdale. Feilding indicated that the companys plan is to follow through on the original plan for the property. He indicated that we know of your problems wilh other developers and we have done our homework and are prepared to go ahead with the project. We are much further along than any of the others were when they approached you," he said. The council indicated an interest but Mayor Leon Imilsen said, we are favorable but we are going to be very strict about v on meeting our requirements." The group then voted to place the matter on Hie agenda for the next regularly si hediiled council meeting fi recognized The National Wildlife Federation has set the week of March 2 as National Wildlife Week. Educators across the state are encouraged to use the Federation's Wildlife Week materials in their curriculum during this week This years Wildlife Week theme is "SAVE A PLACE FOR WILDLIFE. The theme has been used by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources during the past year to emphasize the habitat need1- - of wildlife. The Federation agnes with this, and by using that theme this year, they are stressing the fact that wildlife habitat is decreasing at an alarming rate. National Wildlife Week packets will be distributed by the Utah Wildlife and Outdoor Recreation Federation to all schools in Utah free of charge.
