Calling Park City Ski Club racer Roxanne Toly a "remarkable young girl," Councilwoman Eleanor Bennett has made what she hopes will be the first of many donations which will send Roxanne to a special downhill training camp in Argentina. The 15-year-old blonde has compiled a remarkable record since she began racing at the age of seven. competing in slalom, giant slalom and downhill events. But her coaches feel giant slalom is "her event." To attend the training camp in Bariloche, Argentina from July 30 to Aug. 27, Roxanne will need $1,575. Miss Bennett said she has previously predicted that the young racer would compete in the 1980 Olympics. "I have faith in her potential and I'm giving her this check in hopes that others will realize the importance of her getting to that camp," Miss Bennett remarked. "I've never seen a more dedicated girl. She's in training 24 hours a day," she added. Roxanne expressed her deep appreciation to Miss Bennett and - said she is determined to attend the training session. She agrees with her coaches that her Olympic hopes lie in the downhill and said the experience and coaching she will receive in Argentina will be invaluable. Asked if she thought she would make it to the 1980 Olympic Winter Games, Roxanne replied, "Either '80, '84 or '88," noting that 25 years of age is not too old to be a champion. Ask Rosie. , The week of July 3, 1977 through July 9, 1977 has been set aside as Boat Safety Week. The national theme is. "It's Your Week! Enjoy!!". The idea behind the theme is that enjoyable boating is safe boating. Tedd Tuttle, Boating Supervisor for the Utah State Division of Parks and Recreation said, "The purpose of Safe Boating Week is to give greater emphasis to safe boating equipment and boat operation standards." When asked what he considered to be the major boating safety problem Tedd said, "Swamping and capsizing of small boats 16 feet and smaller continues to be the cause of 85 percent of the boating deaths in the nation. Therefore, I would urge the operators of such craft to make sure that their boat is not overloaded, that weight is properly distributed and that passengers are not permitted to stand when netting fish, etc. Each boat should have adequate freeboard (height above water). Also make certain that there are ample Coast Guard approved personal flotation devices (life jackets) aboard in good condition for all passengers. It is required for youngsters under 12 and recommended tor others aboard small craft to wear their P.F.D.'s. Mr. Tuttle went on to say, "Fire and explosion continues to destroy many pleasure craft, so extreme caution should be exercised while fueling. Ventilation and other fire prevention standards as outlined in the Division's booklet, Highlighs for Better Boating in I'tah should be used. "The prime cause of many collision accidents is inattention as to where the boat is going. The operator's main responsibility is to maintain a safe course with a proper lookout. When towing a skier an observer must be used to inform the operator of the skier's desires." The Utah State Division oi Parks and Recreation feels that Utah was very fortunate last year to have only one boating fatality alter having as many as 16 in previous years. This single fatality was the result of not having life jackets when a small boat capsized. Nearly $200,000 in damage and 20 people were injured as a result of 127 boating accidents in 1976. So far, in 1977, there has been only one boating related fatality. It was caused by lightning. Total boating accidents have reached the 50 mark so far this year. Overture: Muckers The Goat For Dead Well, it was a big game. Never mind it was being played on the second of July to denote a contest traditionally held on the fourth. It was still a grudge match between the greatest rivals in the Beehive Union. The Goat had taken two of the last three held on the holiday and the Muckers had suffered their only loss in six outings this year against this, the most feared of Utah touring sides. . The first half started out harmonious enough as evidenced by pregame cheers. The grins were over. It soon became evident that superior height and size as possessed by the Goat would soon make its presence felt. Even though this writer had the Dead Goat controlling lineouts 10-3 and scrums 7-2 in the first half, the Parkites had their finesse game working for them this afternoon. Finesse includes the kicking game as well. In a sport traditionally characterized by body contact and brute strength, kicking is often overlooked. Today, however, it was the deciding factor as evidenced by Jeff "try-a-game" Wallace's tally from a ruck 6 yards out from the Dead Goat line following an exchange of boots. Bill Hart's converted goal added two more and the score stood at six-zip throughout the first half. The Goat missed on two penalty kick attempts which could have tied it but both attempts from around the 25 were wide. The first 40 minutes was punctuated with crisp tackling and alert play by both sides with neither being able to establish superiority. Conditioning and elevation had yet to take their toll. The second half was a completely different story. The Goat scored on a try by ex-University of Utah tight end Fred Hobbs. The attempt to knot the score was off mark and it stood at 6-4. However as the cumulo-nimbus rolled in and lightening struck in the north, so did the Muckers. Two long runs by Goat forward Iaiono Maua rendered both him and the two wings out of' position and breath. Recognizing the situation, Kevin McKay lofted a deep punt from beyond the midway line into the unoccupied zone and with the ball bounding end over end toward the try line, out-raced the out of position Maua to the ball, touched it down and capped the day's most spectacular play in what could only be described as a classic opportunistic try. Hart's converted By Gary Avise goal gave the local side some breathing room of their own at 12-4. One could sense which way the momentum had shifted. Almost immediately Park City struck again. Hart spun the ball out to scrum half Rick Phaler who lofted a long pass the width of the pitch to McKay who looped with outside center Don Sturges. The wiley veteran tried to lull the sagging opposition to sleep and center the try but was cut off in the most remote corner of the in-goal. in-goal. Undaunted by the severe angle of the attempt, Bill hart converted to conclude a day during which he missed only one penalty kick. At this point of the game was over even though time had not expired. The score stood at 18-4 and the Dead Goat was just that. There were only four minutes remaining when Park City fumbled a pass off a loose ruck (a facet of the game they had dominated all day) and knocked the ball forward a penalty in so doing allowed the opposition a push over try credited to Chuck Johnson but accompanied by many. The goal kick was wide, 18-8. With pride proving the impetus, the Goat scored with only 30 seconds remaining off a penalty play near the Muckers' end line. Doing well the only thing it could do all day, the Goat pushed it over from scrum with Mark Hanshaw touching down. The goal conversion attempt was as wide as all the others and the final stood at 18-12 18-12 as the Park Muckers, under the capable tutelage of Alamo Dave Mueller, avenged their only previous defeat this year and now stand at 6-1 6-1 on the season. The Dead Goat suffered only their fourth defeat in 18 outings lending credence to the fact Park City is in possession of their strongest and most cohesive touring sides in their seven year history.
