Storey in the Bountiful Invi1 tational, including the state and the region crowns. A year ago Jason, as a sophomore, won the region title and placed fourth in the state meet while posting a great mark. As a freshman at Woods Cross he posted a 14-record while wrestling in the 167 pound class. : Being the state champion gives you a lot of and concentration. I really get into what Im doing and push myself to the limit at all times, noted Jason reflecting on his title. 24-1- 0 3 rt WHITNEY STARTED wrestling in the fifth grade in Wyoming, at a school that only had 100 students, total. His family moved to Woods Cross when he was in the eighth grade, and after spending half the year at Bountiful Junior, he went on 10 Woods Cross High School his ninth grade year. I remember in eighth grade 1 won the ninth grade tournament, then won it again in the ninth grade. It seems Ive always won while being younger. WHEN ASKED what makes Jason Whitney tick in wrestling he was quick to answer, "I dont like to hear the people talking if I lost, I love beating the odds. I always heard things like hes only a junior and all that. But I showed them. Being yojnger hasnt been the only problem going' against him. This year, marked the first that he was anywhere near the weight his opponents were. A year ago - It isnt often LAYTON that the wax on the lanes at Davis Lanes gets a chance to settle. he wrestled 185 but was actually 17 pounds under that weight. The same holds true in his sophomore year when he was about ten pounds under his 167 classification. MANY PEOPLE feel that to be state champion you have to know all the moves, but Jason is honest. I know the basic moves plus the ones I learned at the Vaughan Hitchcock Camp. I know a lot of throws and takedowns but there are still many more, moves that I dont know. Being a state champion and only a junior could tend to make one feel extremely confident for the next season, almost cocky, but not this Wildcat. Now that Im on top everyone will be out to get me. I never take anyone lightly and always push myself to higher goals. It seems like all the time you hear saying things like if only I had done this. Well Im not going to be in that position. IS THERE anything left for a goal as a senior next year? Plenty of goals. I want to be a three-tim- e region chame state pion and a champion. Also to get the total team points up, and one two-tim- more, to go undefeated. FOLLOWING HIGH school. Jason wants to continue wrestling in the college ranks, and the college coaches agree that he can do it. One such coach noted to this reporter that Whitney was the best 185 pounder in the state in any classification. Wrestling isnt his only love though. Football and track rates right up there with it. Which one does he like the best. Depends on the time of year. Which one is hp best at, lets put it this way, dont get on a mat with him without some protection on your back. besides BACK TO EARTH .

Main) 801-825-27- 11 Advertisement SPEAKING OF HONEY ALLY GMT GUTT By EZRA T. CLARK President Davis County Bank When the price of gold hit $250 an ounce for the first time ever last month, some people began asking about buying it as a hedge against in flation. Thats risky. All that glitters doesnt make a sound investment. Its speculation. . . very disturbing for people who like to sleep nights. What goes up must sometime come down. When the downswing occurs suddenly, you may be stuck. EZRAT. CLARK Gold is a commodity, and its price only reflects how many people want it (or dont want it) at the time. So gold prices rise and fall depending on supply and demand. President since Nevertheless, Carter signed a certain law in November, I feel obliged to tell you how small, medium and large purchases of gold are made. That particular law which the President signed now requires the government to mint and sell to you or other persons who want them, U.S. medallions containing . ounce or one ounce of fine gold. Medallions are a convenient way to buy small amounts of gold. One such medallion currently on the market is the krugerrand minted by the South African government. It contains exactly one ounce of gold. Except for the gold, it has no other -- one-ha- lf value. Gold medallions are usually sold by coin dealers. Most charge about four percent above the current gold price to buyers, and pay about four under the price to sellers. Gsrcent this percentage varies, and it pays to shop around. When you move up to gold bullion, youre moving up to medium-sizepurchases, although the cash required can be quite substantial. Bullion is usually made available througn stock brokerage houses or bullion dealers. Brokers have different minimum purchase requirements for bullion. As an example, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith offer a bar, about 35 ounces, as the smallest quantity you can buy. So you can see, depending on the current price of gold, you could be paying at the high end of the bracket for a bar. If you take actual possession, you will have to store the bullion somewhere, and then pay an assay fee when you resell it. If you dont take possession of the gold, you have to pay a storage fee. Buying gold futures is really speculating in a big way. A future, also available through a brokerage house, is a contract obliging you to take delivery of 100 ounces of gold at some future date. Youre betting that the price will be higher by delivery time. For example, if you agree to the contract at $250 an ounce and the price rises to $270 an ounce, youre paying $25,000 for $27,000 worth of gold. Of course, the price of gold can go down, too, and you still pay $25,000, losing the gamble. In my estimation there are a number of sound hedges against inflation, but they dont include gold. I believe that one of the safest, surest, soundest investments you can make today is the long-tercertificate of deposit. The excellent rate of interest, compounded year after year, keeps all your cash alive and well and growing rapidly. Best of all, you can sleep like a baby every night if its in a CD. d one-kilogra- m $8-9,0- m |
