Another Utah girl who qualified is Missy Marlow from Rocky Mountain Moun-tain Gymnastics in Murray. After Shelly competes in the Championships of the USA she has two options. The top 15 gymnasts will go to Russia to compete in the Good Will Games, a dream of every young gymnast, and the other competitors will perform in international meets throughout the year in many places around the world. "We didn't dream Shelly would have a chance since she broke her foot this spring during her first meet in California," says Mrs. Schaerrer. Shelly has been training under Olympic coach Don Peters, and his team SCATS, while attending school in Huntington Beach since last January. Shelly was a sophomore at Orem High and had been serving as class secretary when she left to train in California.

"She works out from 7 to 10 every morning, then goes to school from 10:30 until 2:30 and then it's back working out again from 3 until 7 each evening," says her mother. Exhibiting all the emotions of a mom whose daughter left the family nest at a tender age, Mrs. Schaerrer says, "We (Barbara and husband, Doug) weren't sure we wanted Shelly Shel-ly to do this. We really miss her but wanted her to have this opportunity, too." Shelly has made the most of her opportunities which began at the Ail-American Ail-American Gymnastics in Orem under teachers Brad Cattermole and Jack Carter. She's achieved locally and in many regional events. To reach her present status she had to make the top 15 in the American Classics meet held in Provo, Pro-vo, as well as the U.S. Classic held in Scottsdale, Arizona. Since she broke her foot, Shelly has been able to compete in only two events, until this week. She surprised surpris-ed everyone by competing in all four events. Her score was an excellent 9.3 on vault, 9.0 on beam, 8.5 on floor and 9.45 on bars. In addition, Shelly has developed a move on the bars that "hasn'; even been named yet," says Schaerrer.

Skaggs Ranch Donated To BYU For Research MALTA, Idaho - Neighboring ranchers here visit each other often. They compare yields and trade stories about what the weather did to them last year, and they catch up on the latest. The latest in this area is their new neighbor, the Brigham Young University Univer-sity Sam and Aline Skaggs Research Ranch. Residents have been curious about the 6,200-acre ranch since it was donated to the university by the chain-store chain-store owner in November, 1984. About 150 people, most of them from nearby ranches, had a chance recently to examine the fields and livestock and learn about experiments ex-periments under way on the Skaggs ranch when university officials unveiled a sign at the ranch's entrance en-trance and conducted tours. And they traded stories with Sam Skaggs himself over beans and roast beef. Jim Wiltbank, professor of animal science and director of the university's work at the ranch, summarized sum-marized for visitors what has been happening the past year and a half and what will happen in the future. Skaggs donated not only the land but seven high-quality pivot irrigation systems, Wiltbank said. Two pivots are planted in alfalfa, three in barley and two in wheat. Fifteen hand-irrigation hand-irrigation lines are planted in alfalfa. About 1,300 acres are irrigated by wells on the property. The university is testing eight alfalfa varieties. It has 392 head of cattle, which will be involved in various studies. Wiltbank said the ranch has a threefold purpose: teaching, research and continuing education. Students from BYU will spend time at the ranch and apply principles they learn on campus. Students at Fitness Center look on as Red Cross Instructor Instruc-tor Allison McNamara describes techniques involved in back float.

M The future uses and needs of 32,000 miles of highways and roads in Utah is being studied by the Utah Department of Transportation. UDOT, in cooperation with the Utah League of Cities and Towns and the Utah Association of Counties, has instituted in-stituted a year-long Highway Systems Study of all roads in Utah. In its regular session in January, the Utah State Legislature appropriated ap-propriated $350,000 to fund the study. The transporation consulting firm of Wilbur Smith and Associates of San Francisco has been named as the principal contractor for the study. Prudential Bache Securities and James Montgomery Engineers will participate in the project as subcontractors. The study will determine the current cur-rent use and project the future use of each road in the state and will recommend recom-mend at what level of government jurisdiction that road should be. The project will also determine the maintenance standard at which individual in-dividual roads should be kept. Before and after the unveiling, BYU vans carried people around the ranch. In one tour van driven by Dwain Horrocks, chairman of the BYU Agronomy Department, ranchers ran-chers and their children heard of a super ovulation study being conducted con-ducted with a herd of donated cattle. Through the use of hormones, good quality cattle-in this case Gelbvieh from California-are made to produce multiple embryos. The embryos are then flushed from those cattle and implanted in lesser-quality heifers. In that way, two or three good cows produce far more offspring than they normally would, while poor cows function as carriers without passing on undesired genetic traits. Horrocks stopped at a plot of ground where Steve Monsen of the U.S. Forest Service Shrub Laboratory is testing the properties of five varieties of forage shrubs. Monsen said it's difficult to ask ranchers to lend cattle to a feeding experiment when they might be returned at less than an optimum weight. Ths BYU herd, however, offers the shrub laboratory a chance to see how cattle gain weight while eating various shr ubs. A promising shrub for Monsen is a Russian variety called Kochia. It outs like alfalfa, Monsen said. It cures better than alfalfa and retains more protein in winter. It stays succulent in dry weather while grass dries out. And cattle eagerly seek it out for grazing. The forest service is also testing common winterfat or white sagebrush, four-wing saltbush, a sagebrush from central Nevada, and rabbitbrush. Apply For Big Game Hunt By July 8 Big game hunters have until July Ju-ly 8th this year to apply for big game draw permits, including limited entry deer, limited area elk, antelope and moose.

With the warm weather, anglers are .already out trying their luck. The Bear River is great channel catfish river from Cutler Dam down to the Great Salt Lake. Although the river is high, making fishing a little tougher, anglers are doing well. The channel cats generally range from 3 to 10 pounds, with an occasional 20 pounder. Just about any food bait will work: shrimp, liver, dead minnows, worms or the traditional stink baits. Catfish aren't too particular as long as the bait is edible-or smellable. Since the Bear River flows through a lot of private property, fishermen should seek permission or use public access areas near most bridges.
