Athletes named to August Games Seventy-six athletes in four sports, including 24 Olympians, were named nam-ed Tuesday, July 24, to represent the United States next month in the first Pan American Winter Games in Argentina. "After the Olympics, I think the Pan Am Games are proably the most recognizable international competition in the eyes of the average American sports fan. We want to come home with Pan Am Games medals," said Howard Peterson, chief executive officer of the Park City-based U.S. Ski Team. Athletes from upwards of a dozen nations in the Americas will compete com-pete Aug. 23-31 in alpine skiing, biathlon, cress-country and freestyle skiing at Las Lenas resort in the Andes. The group consists of 24 alpine skiers, 18 cross-country racers, 14 biathletes and 20 members of the U.S. Freestyle Ski Team, which has won five consecutive Nations' Cups on the Wor ld Cup tour . The U.S. teams include 10 alpine skiers from the 1988 Olympic team. Jeremy Nobis, 19, of Park City will be part of the Men's alpine skiing team, with Kristi Terzian, 23, of Salt Lake on the Women's alpine team. Eight members of the Olympic cross-country team will participate, including John Callahan, 24, or Park City, and long-time racer from Crowley Lake, Calif., Nancy Fiddler. Fid-dler. Two 1988 Olympic biathlon competitors, and three Salt Lake freestyle skiers Jan Bucher (ballet), Rachel Schochet (moguls) and Brad Holmes (moguls) will also be at the games. "This is an excellent opportunity for us to get on snow during what normally would be our off-season. We're very excited about the Pan Am Games," said Jed Williamson, program director for the U.S. Biathlon Association. The Pan Am Games will alternate between the northern and southern hemispheres every four years. Dates and site for the next games in North America have not been made. Telemark trail The Game Trail in Gordon's Gulch at the Telemark Park NORBA course is closed for R and R rest and rehabilitation. The Spin Cycle at the bottom will still be open, but McKay Edwards said Monday that trail workers are looking at possible redesign of the upper single track, and hoping that rain and some time-off will improve it after hundreds (possibly thousands) of tires tore it up during the NORBA races.! Edwards says the State Championships, to be held on the course Aug. 19, will not include that upper portion of track. - - i: ' ' : it V"' .: . - ' 4, . ' 1 , ,.. - ; i i .

The treatment will be the largest ever attempted in the world. Trout were stocked for the first time in the Strawberry Reservoir in 1923 and the state record cutthroat (26.5 lbs.) was caught there in 1930. But today, 95 percent of the fish in the reservoir are nongame chubs and suckers. Fish introductions, land management practices, and witer level increases have all affected af-fected the fishing.

These nongame fish multiplied, and over the next 20 years the trout population decreased. decreas-ed. Nongame fish were chemically removed in 1961 and trout fishing improved. im-proved. Since the early 1970s, however, trout fishing has been slowly declining. The Division of Wildlife Resources of the Utah Department of Natural Resources is now responsible for the chemical treatment of Strawberry Reservoir and all streams in Strawberry Valley. Rotenone is an organic compound made from the roots of tropical plants that stop oxygen uptake by fish. A worldwide search by an international inter-national supplier failed to find rotenone equal in quality to that found in Peru. So the rehabilitation of the Strawberry fishery has been on hold for two years while the political unrest in Peru settled down. Finally, the Peruvian government allowed the export of rotenone and the Strawberry treatment is on again. Teams practiced maneuvering huge barges through charted transects in 48 "treatment zones" throughout the lake. Other application applica-tion teams trained in shallow water 1 . .w m i by KATHY MCCARTHY Record staff writer Muckers may have sparked a new interest in the old English sport in a few Parkite fans and bystanders at Park City's second game in the Ski Town Rugby Tournament, Saturday and Sunday, July 21-22. Park City hosted the tournament for the first time since 1985, and for the first time since 1975, the Muckers beat the ex-crown ex-crown Aspen team in an inspired game at City Park. Eight teams (plus two exhibition teams) played in the tournament, starting in two pools on Saturday and then playing in the finals brackets for the tournament title on Sunday. It was the Mucker's second game Saturday against the Aspen A-side A-side team that sparked the crowd and tied up a place in the winner's bracket for the Park City team. Park City played their opening game against Breckenridge with a 14-9 win. Mucker forwards pushed three trys over the line, two in the first 25-minute half, to start the second se-cond half with a solid 8-0 lead. Breckenridge scored a conversion try and a penalty goal to Park City's push-over try and conversion in the second half to finish with a good, steady showing for the Muckers. Park City has played the Aspen team five times since the Mucker's last win in Sun Valley in 1975, but has been stomped each time. This year, the Muckers charged in on a roll and bowled over the surprised Aspen team, 18-14. In the first half, Loyd (Zuke) Garseau scored in the corner followed by Paul Carpenter's successful suc-cessful conversion kick and another try. John Haas carried in the third try just before half, after a beautifully beautiful-ly executed series of lateral passes by Mucker forwards, to start the se- Creer's gutsy tackles weren't craft over weed beds where fish might go to escape the chemical treatment. Stream treatment teams trained on the tributaries flowing into Strawberry Reservoir. They located rotenone drip station sites along the streams and charted the larger beaver dams that must be breached to allow water flow-through. The last day to fish Strawberry valley streams is Aug. 3. Strawberry Reservoir fishing ends at midnight, Aug. 16. Fish will be re-stocked and to Vail cond half substantial 18-3 lead. Mucker fans began pacing the sidelines as Aspen scored a try in the first five minutes, with no conversion, conver-sion, and then a peralty goal to bring the score to 18 and 10. The Aspen team's confidence was visibly on the rise as they scored one more try before Park City regained control. Hooker Matt Lamphiere turned the tide by stealing three Aspen put-ins, giving Park City a fresh outlook-just outlook-just as the clock ran out. In addition to Lamphiere's heady hooks, which the Muckers took advantage ad-vantage of, Brad Boosier played an inspired game, leading the forwards until he got kicked out of the game in the second half, along with an Aspen player, for fighting. The Muckers commended Team Captain Peter Quinn for the leadership and control he showed, especially in the first part of the second half, when the team was loosing confidence. Park City played Vail on Sunday for the tournament title. The undefeated team in the second pool had scored 122 points with only 6 points against them in Saturday's games, and came storming into the finals game against Park City driven by the eager thunder of their recent accomplishments. The Muckers kept a strong defense in the 40-minute first half, scoring one penalty goal but missing four others. Muckers defense held the tempest at their goal, keeping them from scoring scor-ing for over 10 minutes. In the second half, the Muckers withstood two push-over attempts, but their strength was failing against the determined Vail team, who took three conversion trys in the last five minutes of the game, smothering the Muckers' 3 points with 39 of their own. One consolation to Park City's players they got stuffed by an excellent team. Mucker backs were tremendous, with Steve Creer dropping four to five players twice his size. The third and fourth place Aspen A and B teams refused to play each other for their titles. Santa Fe was fifth in the tournament, and the sixth place Breckenridge team took home the Party Trophy by virture of their whale slide and elephant walk. The Idaho conglomerate team (Sun Valley) won Steins' Stein with their win over Deer Valley (Mucker B-side) B-side) and the Alta and Steamboat teams finished the line-up in seventh and eight. Fans awakened by the Aspen Park City game can catch Mucker action on July 28 against the U of U, in a "social match" at City Park. The Muckers will also run the beer garden at the Arts Festival, Aug. 4-5, and would appreciate any support from the community in their biggest fund-raiser of the year. . ,um ... 4 ft enough to topple Vail spawning habitate restored.
