My ancestors have been in this country coun-try for many generations, am sixty years old and am approaching approach-ing 50-years in photography. Normally I am a private individual indi-vidual and do not speak out in narrative form about world events. However, this time is different and I must speak out about something that I feel will be a turning point in this country's coun-try's short history. Nothing in all these years in all my travels or all my experiences prepared for the cowardly acts of September 11. 2001. nothing I have done and nothing noth-ing I will do can make me understand under-stand why people would do what they do and did to other people. I have lost family and 1 have seen death first hand but I can only imagine what the families who lost loved ones yesterday are feeling right now. I am angry and I am sad. 1 am angry at these totally senseless attacks and I am at the same time sad because of the loss of our innocence. I am also sad at the loss of family members and friends and the heroes that went into the tower which collapsed and the other heroes that day that protected the Capitol and White House by giving their Jives in taking over Flight 92. Martyrs are not made of people who do such things against other people. God, any God, does not work this way. It anti-spiritual and in people terms illogical. A young man became President Presi-dent in a controversial election Kokanee spawning at Strawberry River Kokanee salmon have turned from silver to bright red and will soon respond to their homing instinct. Spawning adults will return to Strawberry Reservoir's river where they emerged as larvae or where they were stocked, if they are of hatchery origin. Each year, the kokanee arrive about August 20 and stay until October 15. However, the peak for kokanee spawning at Strawberry Straw-berry River is estimated to be as early as September 16 to as late as October 3. "It all depends on the fish," Kirk North of the Strawberry Reservoir visitor's center said. "But we are planning on seeing them peak around September 16." As soon as the kokanee start to spawn, the Division of Wildlife Wild-life Resources activates an electric elec-tric fish barrier. "The trap doesn't does-n't hurt the fish at all," said Roger Wilson of the Division of Wildlife Resources. "It only discourages them from migrating upstream." The fish trap enables experts to sort the fish and collect the eggs after spawning. "Only five percent of fish eggs survive in nature," said North. "If we can collect the fertilized eggs and take them to a fish hatchery, about 95 percent of the eggs will survive." Eggs will be taken about every other day during spawning. "Anyone is welcome to come and take a tour or watch the fish," said North. "On the days that ve do egg takes, we offer educational education-al tours. Otherwise, they are welcome to take a self-guided tour on the boardwalk." E.

Was this destiny or what? He would he quickly judged by instant history on how he would react against evil and darkness. Terrorism and how the United States, under his leadership, reacted to the events of September 1 1 , 2001 , and after, will be written in the pages of history and spoken in the future with reverence and respect alone with the great leaders of otir country. I stand and urge every Ameri can to stand also with our President Presi-dent and what he has done and yet needs to do. I am proud to be an American and proud to have George W. Bush as my Com mander-in-Chief. At this time of national pain, do not second guess our leaders. If they make mistakes it will be use who must stand ready to assume the consequences conse-quences because we have the best democracy in the free world and it cannot be without pain.

We are at war and Eggs from the Strawberry River are taken to the Kanias State Fish Hatchery where they are kept until they reach the next stage for transportation. Wilson said, "The eggs are kept at Kamas for eyeing (a stage in which they can transferred) and then they are taken to the Fountain Foun-tain Green, Whiterocks and Springville fish hatcheries." When grown, the fish are taken back to Strawberry. "Occasionally, "Occa-sionally, when there is a need, we take some of the fish elsewhere," else-where," said Wilson. "But most years we stock anywhere from 100,000 to just under a million fish in Strawberry." The amount of fish stocked in Strawberry depends on how many eggs are collected and how well the fish do in the hatcheries. "It just depends on the year," said Wilson. "We can't always rely on great runs. A few years ago we had 12,000 to 14,000 fish. Last year we only had a couple thousand." thou-sand." No matter how many fish run, people come from everywhere to see the salmon. David Hatch, a teacher at Midvale Elementary School takes his students every year to see the kokanee. "We take this trip every year because it is such a good and enjoyable experience for the students," said Hatch. "You just can't learn in the classroom what you can learn by first-hand experience."

But that doesn't mean he's not still helping to make crucial tackles and bat down passes. How does he do it? He left behind a protege. Two seasons after Dyson vacated his starting spot for a place with the Tennessee Titans in the NFL. senior Cody Weight has emerged as the newest-and perhaps most unassuming-member of the Utes' savage -defense. A Springville native and former star at Dixie State College who always wanted to start for the Utes, Weight has watched his dream come true because of hard work he put in with one of the best cornerbacks in school history. histo-ry. "He taught me a lot of skills," Weight said. Now, he's putting them to use as one of only three new starters on the Utah defense. Weight is the only one of the three who usurped a returning starter, though; nose guard Lauvale Sape and linebacker Zach Tune occupied occu-pied spots vacated by departed seniors. Weight is a lot less conspicuous conspicu-ous then those other guys, too. While Sape is nearly 300 pounds and Tune has massive tattooed flames that peek out from beneath his jersey on his lower back, the 22-year-old Weight has the fresh face of a teenager and an off-the-field demeanor that would seem to contradict the ferocity that he needed to beat out D'Shaun Crockett for the starting job and hold off other hungry corners such as Bo Nagahi and Anthony White. "He's just laid-back," safety Antwoine Sanders said. "Easy to get along with." Unless you're an opposing wide receiver, of course. Weight made the first start of his Utah career last weekend " vV ii ii s V ll W LIU I A 1 1 is iieauy against Utah State, and made three tackles-including one for a loss. He helped the Utes hold the Aggies to 163 yards, which ranks ninth in the nation after the season's sea-son's first week. It was a welcome wel-come experience for a guy who played almost exclusively on special teams at Utah after starting start-ing on Dixie's junior-college national championship team three years ago. "It was kind of funny," he said. "My feelings were mixed. I was pretty calm, but it felt great to be back out there... It was a lot of fun." Weight played in all 1 1 games for the Utes last season, and made 14 tackles on special teams. Then he had a fantastic spring that carried over after his summer sum-mer with Dyson. "He had probably the best camp of all the corners," coach Ron McBride said. That was no accident. Having seen how well he fared in spring drills. Weight said he committed himself to becoming becom-ing a starter within the first three games of the season. He had become friends with Dyson when IMM ? mmt mmmm mm mmm .

Mark Johnson, had a heart attack in 1999 That nice Saturday afternoon took a drastic turn for the worse and ended in the Mountain View Hospital emergency room. Mark left the football field with chest pains, but at only 49-years-old, the last thing on his mind was a heart attack. Fortunately for Mark, Lisa Topham, an ICU nurse at Mountain View Hospital, was at the same game. She knew there was no time to waste and drove hini direcdy to the hospital. Mark credits Lisa's quick thinking and the folks in the Mountain View Hospital ER for his surviving the ordeal.

So he asked Dyson for help during summertime workouts. "We just did a lot of footwork, foot-work, and he showed me a lot of technique things," Weight said. "Stuff that coach Jugi (Hogue) teaches, but he just helped me develop it better in the summer when we're not able to have coaches." Weight also worked on his strength and speed by doing plyometric exercises and running stadium stairs when he wasn't helping coach a youth football team. All in the name of working his way into the starting lineup of the team he had always envisioned envi-sioned himself playing for-al-though not because he shares a hometown with former star quarterback quar-terback Scott Mitchell. "He just worked hard over the summer, and through two-a-days, and just played himself into that position," Hogue said. With a little help from a friend, of course. " ii POOR |
