Show SUN CHRONICLE, Aug. 25, roy W dtcr conditions and the impending tall months are bringing chemical tieatment plans into focus for Utah Wildlife Resources fisheries managers Conditions which are tinue through early fall. Although final decisions will have to be made individually, plans call for treatment of the following watersScofield Reservoir laorable toward the chemical and its tributaries, Creek Minersville Reservoir, Reservoir, Tropic Reservoir and several other small impoundments in 1 1 face a Fisheries managers multitude of logistical problems in attempting to treat designated waters In most situations, the lower the water level of a reservoir, the better the chance of an effective treatment, but the more difficult application of the chemical becomes. Managers must wait until levels are low and water users, particularly agricultural consumers, have utilized stored waters various locations around the state In most instances the chemical rotenone is used to eradicate rough fish populations in Utah Basically, n the Water temperature portant With 977, Page rotenone causes the capillaries of the affected species to constrict and thus drastically reduces the flow of blood and the associated exchange of oxygen, resulting in suffication All fish species that contact the chemical are affected, but the substance does not affect the edibility of the fish Koosharem Reservoir, Otter Creek Reservoir and its tributaries, Lost icmoval of rough fish from many of I tah's fishing waters is perhaps the one positive outcome of the drought Depending on the final status of water levels, ram fall, irrigation uses, availability of money, chemicals and personnel, treatment efforts will begin almost immediately and con 1 d IQ The new Region One of Northern Utah is preparing for its official debut, one week from tomorrow All eight teams will see football action, beginning September 2nd Region One evolved from the best of the Northern Utah Schools Last year there were thirteen teams playing under the banner of Regions One and Two Now there are eight teams, and all in Region One The Utah High School Activities Association (UHSAA) formed a new league, when several schools were reassigned to the ranks of 3A for schools with less than I4i)(t students UHSAA took the bigger schools, and organized a new league, to be called Region One Bountiful, Viewmont, Layton and Clearfield of the old Region Two, joined forces with Bonneville, Roy, Weber and Skyview in the new alignment All member schools are excited about the merger. They all acknowledge the challenge of the larger and mere potent league, and agree that winning a championship w ill take a super effort All are confident that Northern Utah will carry more clout to the tournaments of Salt Lake City. COACHES TAB LAYTON FOR REGION TITLE 1 conducted my own personal Region One Poll to determine the thinking of the eight football coaches I asked each to list the top three football powers of Region une, and they were not to vote for themselves Layton was the overwhelming choice for best team, Bountiful and Roy were tied for a distant second in the voting I allowed three points for a first place vote, two Lawton and Roy were listed in the top three spots on every ballot It will be interesting to see how accurate the coaches have been when the dust has all settled in October In talking to individual coaches, I asked each of them to asses their own teams Some w ere optomistic, some cautious, and a couple w ere just a little pessimistic in their evaluations. BOUNTIFUL-Coac- h Paul Waite Coach Waite has seven returning starters from last year, including Brian Slagowski, Scott Pendleton, Bill Wernli, Scott Kinnear, John Hazen, Ron Hammer and Dean Layton "The strength of the team says Waite, is in good team balance. He cites lack of experience as his only weakness Bountiful will go a pre-typ- e offense seasons with their J V This could be a good year for the Braves They had and Sophomore teams Their backfield will average 170 pounds, the offensive line will go 200 pounds, and the defense will weigh 180 pounds per man VIEWMONT Coach Monte Jones The Vikings are returning six starters. Quarterback Kevin Hess is back, along with Steve Nielsen, Todd Jones, Rick Hallows, Reed Smith and John Bedingfield. The Coach was also high on Kay Moosman and Joe Vandmewre. "Viewmo-- t will be tough on defense, but a little shy in offensive punch, ade offense. Viewmonts J.V. and mitted the coach "We will play a seasons medeocre had teams last year Their size isnt anything to Sophomore write home about, but they are determined Biggest man on the squad weighs 210 pounds BO.NNEVILLE-CoacThom Budge Four offensive and four defensive starters are returning from last years second place team at Bonneville. The coach was excited about Danny Rich, Lyle Mum-forStuart Fletcher, Jerry Amidan, Mitch Godrey, Brad Francis, and 6 8 262 pound Kelly Whidmeyer. Defense is our big strength, said the coach, "but our inside linebackers are inexperienced, and could cause a problem The Lakers had medeocre J V. and Sophomore seasons. Bonneville will employ a multiple offense, and run or pass as opportunity dictates. WEBER-CoacJoe James Things are looking up at Weber High School. They have sev en returning starters, and will be further strengthened by successful J V. and Sophomore teams from last year Their strength is in team depth, but they have an untested offensive line, which could bring them problems. The Warriors will operate out of a slot-- I offense, and do a lot of passing They have a backfield that will average 175 pounds, and offensive line that will go 190 pounds The defensive line will average 200 pound. Coach James is high on Jay Shupe, Dale Stone, Mike Pnce, and Steve Trawick SKYVIEW-Coac- h Earl Lindley The Bobcats have five starters returning from last years team. Coach Lindley singled out Sherman Kirk, David Otteson, who are seniors, and a trio of juniors-Bar- t Allen, Lance Lindley his son ) and Brad Hogan. He says that Hogan is one of the best passers in the region, and should show a lot of strength at quarterback The defensive linebackers are untested and could be the weak link in the Skyview football chain They will run from the Slot-- offense. LAYTON-CoacGary Hansen Layton is the near unaminous choice to win the Region One title this year. Coach Hansen has eight starters returning, and is looking forward to strong support from w inning J V and Sophomore teams His backfield will average 185 pounds, and his line will go 205 pounds per man, with a lot of help from 6 pound Chuck Ehin at Center and Tackle The Lancers boast of good balance, and more size and depth than they have had for several years The coach spoke highly of Maurice Turner, Ben Bubak, Rick Snow, and Wade Gillespie as his most promising athletes Brent Hancock CLEARFIELD-CoacClearfield won the Region Two title, last year, but now its a whole new ball game They graduated the bulk of the championship team, including Robbie Richeson, w ho re-- rote the record book at the school. On the bright side of Falcon football, they have last year's quarterback Brian Johnson to anchor the new team. Others starters include Jim Wilson, Bob Barrera, and Jeff Trussel. Also new on the Clearfield scene is the coach, and that could create a problem until the team gets use to him and Clearfields team lacks depth, and a lot of Falcons will have to play both ways. Coach Hancock plans to do a lot of passing, but will come up with a running game to keep in balance 1 is consideration also an im- since the chemical rotenone works most effectively when the temperature of the water is close to 70 degrees Fahrenheit Not many Utah waters reaih that temperature, but treat ment in late summer and as early in the fall as possible helps make the chemical action effective If water temperatures drop below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, rotenone becomes less active as a chemical agent Managers must try to treat waters before they drop below that mark Another problem faced by Fisheries personnel is the growth of weeds, which also reduces the effectiveness of the chemical Weeds prohibit the even distribution of rotenone and produce a less efficient rough fish kill Weeds also require the use of increased amounts of the chemical to accomplish the desired objectives Availability of personnel to conduct the treatment operations and the scheduling of aircraft to treat large bodies of water must be considered in making final plans Personnel must be scheduled between the time of year when fishing pressure is heavy and fall hunting activities begin Special airplanes equipped to handle the chemical disbursal are typically on contract with forest fire fighting units right up until the day they are needed for the fish treatment Managers must also consider the needs and demands of city, state and county agencies, as well as other management Recreation football coach breaks coached many years with the young men of Roy.
