".The Recreation program. two-mont- h ' Roy Recreation has over $500,000 worth of sporting equipment stored in the shed behind the fire staton. A lot of it has been donated by local and area businesses, and by civic Department is presently gearing to suit up approximately 350 young men to play clubs who sponsored athletic teams. Frank Tremea has a staff of thirty paid employees, and an army of volunteers. Local high school students are paid from $2.50 to $3.50 per hour, depending on their experience and time to assist in the many functins of Roy Recreation. Some are score keepers, referees, umpires, and grounds keepers, and others are selected to run the several sports programs. The young men, after being hired, are trained by the department and must become qualified officials to officiate in the various sports. Tremea, is Assistant Principal at Roy Junior high School, but spends many hours in the recreation program. Assisting him is Mike Hein, who was recently hired at Roy high School to coach Cross Country and track. Mike grew up in the little league programs of Roy, and stayed on to work in his adult years. All of our recration coaches are on a voluntary basis, said Frank, and some of them spend many hours to make it all heppen. Take Enji Matsumura, for instance, he U. footsaid pointing to an ball player. Enji is an Engineer at Hill Air Force Base, but' comes down after hours to donate his time. He is in charge of our football ex-Ut- program. Frank Winward is another of those special people who like to serve, said Tremea. He coached five of his own sons through Roy Recreation, and is still around, do, ing it for others. Another faithful worker in Roy is Charles Smith (Chuck) who parks his eighteen-whetruck for two months, every summer, just to coach at W.F.F.L. team. 1 just like to work with kids, said Chuck, whois affectionately known at the big bear. I run my truck from coast to coast for ten months, then take a break to do some coaching. Pete Goff has football in his blood. He coached his own boys in their first encounter with athletics, and is still around to work with other youngsters. He even helped coach, last year, at Sand Ridge Junior High School at no pay. The list goes on and on. We could never have such success without the hundreds of local volunteers, who stop by to help, said Tremea. Roy has one of the finest fram programs of any city in the state, and our two junior high schools, and our high school reaps the rewards. 1 el , Roy Recreation Director Frank Trema. football on a dozen or more teams associated with the Wasatch Front Football League (W.F.F.L.)

Syracuse Doctor Lands Alaskan Tuna 66-Pou- nd By day and by night, Paul Taylor of Syracuse is a family practicioner at the Tanner medical Clinic in Layton, but when its vacation time, the Doc goes fishing. In July, Doctor Taylor, in a party of four, jetted into Alaska to go fishing with an old army buddy, Bernard Vetter of Anchorage. Travelling with the Doctor, were his father, Doctor lind-sa- y Floyd Taylor, his father-in-laCurtis, and a Syracuse neighbor. Lew Buck. Vetter met the group at the airport, and took them by truck and camper to the town of Soldotna, some three hours away. He had arranged for a guide and a small boat for use in the River Kenai, which is five or six times bigger than the Weber River. Kenai is a for king tuna, returning from the sea, to the spawning beds, hundreds of miles upstream. The big lunkers rest in the deep holes along the river, and thats where the Utah group went after them wih salmon eggs. . . . , fishing? you can fish at any time of the day, noted the Doctor, At this time of year, the sun comes up at 2:00 a.m. and doesnt go down .until 11:00 p.m., and then you have only twilight during the three hours of darkness. 24-ho- ur main-thoroughfa- re , , First Day Limit ! On the first day, the party got its limit, and Doctor Taylors trophy weighed an incredible 66 pounds. Lew Buck reeled in a fifty-fiv- e pounder that same day and the others got fish that tipped the scales in the forties. On the second day, the group got another limit, but the biggest weighed only (only?) forty-si- x pounds. On the third day, Doctor Taylor and his friends went down to Homer on the Cook inlet to fish for halibut, but the weather turned unfriendly. They all managed to catch fish, but only in the 15 to 20 pound range. Bernard Vetter, host of the group, had a big one, but couldnt land it. It msut have been seven or eight feet long, and weighed over 250 pounds, claimed Doctor Taylor, but the big one always gets away. The, weather situation failed to improve, and the group returned two days early, but what a trip they had. It was the biggest fish I ever caught, said Doctor Taylor and I have the fish to prove it. Flying to Alaska to go fishing, can be expensive, but an avid fisherman like Doctor Taylor and his friends, dont begrudge the money. Air fare from Salt Lake City was $407, round trip, and the guide cost $50 per person per day. Doctor Taylor paid about $10 per pound for that trophy fish, but he had a forty-si- x pounder, plus an eighteen pound halibut and a lot of fun tomake it all worth while. . Dr. Taylor tries to fly into Alaska annually, but things may be different next year. His good friend, Bernard Vetter, is moving back to Continental United States. Doctor Paul Taylor; with his wife Karen, and children Stacee, age eleven, Jeni, ten, twins Curtis and Mathew, are eight and Christopher, five, live on an acre Ranch in Syracuse. We have a horse and a garden, joked the Doctor, .but I dont do toomueh gardening, and seldom have time to ride the horse. For 1981, the fun in Alaska is over, but you can be sure that Doctor Taylor is already making plans for next year to try for an even bigger king salmon on the River Kenai. There are lots of big ones still passing through my favorite fishing hole, he smiled. king tuna is what Dr. Paul Taylor from Syracuse was think- This ing about when he boarded the plane for River Kenai just outside Anchorage, Alaska. FSih Merits Wm the Re&lfy 25, Jkgmmt Up pf SUNSET There are certain age 3$iteaus in life that most people might major turning points. Age 5 is jioiisider 'when you start school, at 13 youre a teenager, at 16 youre legal to drive, at 18 at 21 you can buy booze and jjou25can vote,muscle starts turning to fat. your fthats right, fat, and life suddenly appears all too short. jSome say the teen years are the har-- , Je$t to cope with because of acne, first 3oves and peer pressure. Maybe so, but life really seems brutal when you have marshmallow thighs at age 25. And the it jCCuel part is you never see it coming 311st balloons over night. I mean it wasnt Uhere at age 24. !..It really is depressing when your flabwont allow you to reach by .frame backhand or when it gets tired -- ' Rafter only nine holes. And its absolutely 'flet'estating to the guy who has v con- - sidered himself as a jock for the past ten years. But age 25 flab knows no heroes it attacks everyone. The reason most people start putting on the inches at Phil 25, according to body builders, spa managers and exercise buffs, is because of poor diet and circulation. You see, at 25 most people have graduated from college and have settled into their careers. And with todays job market pressures, most people spend a lot of time sitting and develop poor eating habits. Sitting for long hours each day, like sports writers often do, can cut off the circulation to the legs thus creating the marshmallow thigh syndrome. Also, when a barrage of coffee and doughnuts start taking the place of breakfast and lunch, the body lacks the energy to exercise after work. The mind therefore, tells the body to sit and the vicious circle. U Kirkwood -- is enclosed. However, there is a glimmer of hope for those over 25 and according to Melanie Green, manager for Feminine Fitness Healh Spa in Sunset, it doesnt require a great deal of pain. Its all a matter of self worth,. says Melanie. If you think youre worth getting up in time to fix yourself a decent breakfast, then youll do it. If you dont, you wont. As far as exercise is concerned, Melanie points out that people whose bodies are out of shape will experience some pain for the first few days due to the sudden shock. Thats why flabby people over 25 should take their workouts slowly at first. Here again, its all self worth. You have to exercise at least three times a week to see or feel any results. Find an activity you enjoy so youll look forward to it and then increase your workouts as you get stronger, she said. The best workouts, according to Green are ones that are arobic like jumping rope, jogging (with proper shoes), brisk walking, basketball, tennis, cross country skiing, swimming and soon. She also says people can balance their arobic .workouts with weight training to speed up the muscle toning process. Green does stress that people who choose to work with weights should first get pro per instruction to prevent injury. The other factor in a proper assault against flab is diet. Green says there arc no particular food groups to stay awaj from except the junk foods like candj and potato chips. People who want a healthy bodj should eat a balanced diet, said Green. Foods with good protein value like cottage cheese, chicken without the skin, are all good. Its not eggs, fish, milk good to starve yourself. If youre worried about calories, you should get a calorie and carbohydrate counter to plar your meals. But dont sidp meals. As far as vitamin supplements arc concerned, Green says people shouldn1 bother with them unless theyre abso lutely positive their diet is in need. It youre sure you cant get the vitamins naturally, then buy some supplements but dont spend a fortune, she said. (2) |
