Show -Wednesday July 1, 1987 Orem Track Club shines at Murray meet last week Orem-Gencva Times- Orem athletes reap medals at Utah Summer Games Orem athletes reaped a harvest of medals at the Utah Summer Games last week in Cedar City. From gymnastics to fencing, from flinging discuses to swishing basketballs, Orem was well represented. In sheer numbers, gymnastics spot-lighted the most Orem talents, with 12 Orem girls placing in different dif-ferent events. In the 8-and-under competition in class 4 gymnastics, Patricia Higgin-son Higgin-son of Orem ran away with four of the five gold medals. Orem's Heather Walker won big in the 9-11 age bracket with two golds and a silver. All three Orem girls were names all-around all-around champions in their individual categories. Orem All-Stars student Lara Hogue claimed the Ail-Around gold in the class 3 12-14 age division, with a gold in the vault, a silver on the beam, and a bronze on the bars. Her total score of 33.15 points tied with Kim-berly Kim-berly Hatch, of AU-American gymnastics gym-nastics in Orem, and Dawn Anderson, Ander-son, but Hogue was awarded the gold while Hatch and Anderson shared the silver. In the 15-and-over category, Kate Brown of the Orem All-Stars earned a silver, followed by teammate team-mate Karen Strong also of Orem with the bronze. Kami Spears of the Utah Academy in Orem won the beam competition in the 9-11 age group, and Kami Gabbitas of Olympic Training in Orem was second.

Branson, who competed for UCLA in the 70's. Branson, who is in her 30's thanked 18-year-old James for "not embarrassing an old lady." James, who currently holds state records in both 4A and 3A high school divisions, was grateful for the tough competition, after beating most of her opponents during the past school year by 30 feet or more. Cathy James also earned the silver in the women's open shot put with a throw of 36'8V4". Shanna Price of Orem claimed the bronze in the women's scholastic 5,000 with a 21:39 time.

Former Orem High basketball star Steve Hodson spurred a last minute spree for the Rebel Sports team of St. George to help them to 78-64 win over Utah Valley Sports Medicine for the men's open basketball basket-ball title. Other familiar names on the Rebel Sports line-up are former BYU stars Tom Gneiting, Brent Stephenson, and Greg Humpreys. Utah Valley Sports Medicine won its place in the final game with an 88-57 88-57 stomp of Minersville. Former Orem High and BYU star Jay Cheesman led their offense with 26 points. The Utah Valley Breakers won the women's open basketball title by defeating Brianhead 57-51. Mark Stasinos of Orem came out on top of the saber fencing competition, com-petition, and earned silvers in the open foil and epee fencing contests. Big game hunts offer diversity By Grant Janse Game Management When hunters submit applications ap-plications for the big game permit drawing to be held on August 7 of this year, they will find a variety of hunts to choose from for deer, elk and antelope. an-telope. Some sportsmen may choose to apply for a high country or limited entry buck permit, or perhaps a restricted area elk permit. Others may elect to hunt on units designed 3-point 3-point or better or participate in the archery and muzzleloader seasons. Overall, the number of hunts and diversity of hunting opportunity have increased substantially during the past twenty years. Utah has traditionally been known as a mule deer state and deer hunters from around the country have enjoyed some of the finest hunting hun-ting in the nation. Deer populations and hunting success fluctuate dramatically for a variety of reasons. Thousands of deer died during the severe winter of 1983-84 and hunter success the following fall was very low. Since then, Utah deer herds have been on the rebound. This year's mild winter and increased herd populations should result in a marked improvement in hunting opportunity op-portunity and a better chance for success. Increased opportunity will also be available for other big game species. In 1966, a total of 2,343 elk permits were issued in 13 areas on a drawing basis with a five-year waiting period. For the 1987 hunt, 2490 limited area permits are available in 29 areas. Added to that are the unlimited archery elk and open bull permits as well as 250 muz-. muz-. zleloader elk permits. Over a 20-year period, the total elk harvest in Utah has increased five-fold. Antelope hunting opportunity has increased from 105 permits on six areas 20 years ago to 1,060 permits available for 17 areas this year. Buffalo Buf-falo permits have increased from 10 permits in 1966 to 56 permits available in 1987. The first hunt for desert bighorn sheep was held in 1967. Hunters may now choose from four areas in which they can pursue this lofty animal. Rocky Mountain goats were introduced in-troduced into the state in 1967 on one area. Now, four hunters will enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Comparing numbers from the 1967 hunt with projections for this year's big game hunt, it's easy to see why expectations are high. With such a diversity of opportunity, the fall of 1987 may be one of the best hunting seasons in quite a few years. The Orem Track Club ran away with 41 golds last week in competition with Murray, Highland, Sandy, and Bountiful teams. Two new state records were made as Danny Gan-sauge Gan-sauge beat the old shot put record by over two feet with a 43'5" put. Brian Crow stretched the state record in the 100 meter hurdles with a 14.7 second run, beating the old record by 3.11 seconds. In the Youth Boys Division, Alex Fisher sprinted to the top, taking home four firsts, winning the 100 meter and 200 meter runs, helping on the winning 4X100 meter team, and claiming first in the long jump. Danny Dan-ny Gansauge, in the same division, took home his first place state record shot put gold, as well as claiming first in the discus and javelin. Rebecca Perry cleaned up in the Youth Girls Division with wins in the 100 meter hurdles, 200 meter hurdles, and the long jump, as well as a second place in the discus. Emily Voegele dashed through the Midget girls races winning the 100 and 200 meter runs, the 4X100 meter relay, and claiming fourth place in Former Russian pilot tells of escape to find freedom By Jeanne Thayne Patriotism flourished Sunday night in an old fashioned .foot-stomping .foot-stomping glory-singing patriotic service ser-vice at the Marriott Center. The Mormon Mor-mon Youth Symphony and Chorus emphasized the freedom message with favorite music. Overwhelming standing ovations cheered this year's winners of the Freedom Awards: Florence Valgard-son, Valgard-son, community-minded civic and DAV worker; Victor Belenko, Soviet Mig pilot, who "borrowed" the most effective Russian jet ever designed and flew it to freedom; Robert and Jana Hutyra, who secretly constructed con-structed a hot air balloon to make a night esccape with their two children and another family from East Germany; Ger-many; Dith Pran, Cambodian news correspondent, whose story was graphically portrayed in the film, The Killing Fields; and David M. Kennedy, Ken-nedy, global statesman, international ambassador and Utah native, who has contributed to international economic, political, and cultural development. Mrs. Dith Pran received receiv-ed the award for her husband who had to return to his photography job with the New York Times. As featured speaker, Belenko captivated the audience with the story of his mad dash to freedom and adjustment ad-justment to the difficulites of "making "mak-ing choices" in America. During his first two years in the United States he nearly returned to his motherland feeling the pangs of homesickness and the pain of adjusting ad-justing to a new language and culture. "I was like Mork in Mork & Mindy," he said. He learned about shopping centers and the myriads of choices. "At first I thought it all had been staged," stag-ed," he said. "In Russia whole villages are 'staged' for important guest visitors." He described Russia as a concentration concen-tration camp with strict regulations and barbed wire fences to keep you in. "You even have to have internal passports to move from one city to another...that's like having to have a passport to go from Provo to Salt Lake City." Big Game permit applications due Hunters have until July 8 to apply for the big game permit drawings on August 7. The 1987-88 big game proclamation and applications are available at most sporting goods stores and all Division of Wildlife Resources offices. The applications must be received by the Division of Wildlife Resources by 5 p.m. on July 8. Only mailed applications will be accepted.

He said the Soviet Union spends billions on public relations and pro-poganda pro-poganda programs. "I learned some good things about Barry Goldwater when I met him." He said Goldwater is depicted in Russia as a war monger. "I found out we have a lot in common and a desire for peace." Belenko said if he'd been in charge of the Vietnam War it would have lasted two weeks. Asked if there were good things about the Soviet Union he responded: "TV. ..there are no commer-cials...nothing commer-cials...nothing to advertise. Free medical care (he told of a young boy who died the day after being diagnosed diagnos-ed as having a cold). No IRS; the government pays everybody just enough to keep them alive." He also said that to criticize the government in Russia could mean seven years incarceration. He did agree that Gorbachev is making some changes, but they are "mostly cosmetic. .designed for liberal press and short-sighed political leaders." He said every Russian boy knows the ultimate goal of the Soviet is world wide domination. "It's a chess game and there are red spots all over the globe." He said there doesn't need to be a war, but said leaders should communicate com-municate with Soviet leaders regularly regular-ly and also "carry a big stick and use it appropriately. ..Granada was appropriate." Make reservations now Callers are flooding the Uinta National Forest with questions about how to make large group campground cam-pground reservations under the new system. By calling the toll free nubmer 1-800-824-CAMP (2167), people can make reservations for large groups or individual families. The hours for calling are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, week-days, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends. But there are a few things to remember when calling, to make it easier for the reservationist and others waiting on the lines : Have a group site and alternate sites in mind; Know the size of your group ; Have the date and alternative dates on hand; Have a credit card number for confirming your reservation. Be patient, keep trying. Many people waited until January and the lines are busy. Best hours for calling are during the day, Tuesday through Friday.

"The Soviet mentality is to keep its people busy, tired and hungry ..."just so busy with their daily lives they don't have time to think." Regarding the 'star wars' pro-poganda, pro-poganda, he said in Europe and Russia they do not know anything about Strategic Defense Initiative, they only know that if 'star wars' happens, hap-pens, things will fall on their heads." After 11 years in the United States Belenko has no desire to return to Russia. He is training American fighter pilots. "If I have to fight for freedom, I will," he said. Fish need By Joe Valentine, Fish Culture Supervisor Fish, like people, need oxygen to live and grow. In most streams, trout have an abundant supply of oxygen. But in trout hatcheries, the amount of oxygen carried by the water determines deter-mines the number and size of fish that can be raised. Most Division of Wildlife Resources trout hatcheries contain about eight parts per million (ppm) The toll-free reservation system is new and has been in operation since sin-ce July, 1986. "Folks need to remember that they don't have to wait any more until January," says Gordon Williams, recreation staff assistant. "They should make their reservations 12 months in advance. They can make reservations this summer for 1988." The idea that on July 25, 1987, families and groups can reserve a spot on next July 24, 1988 weekend has not sunk in yet, explains Williams. "Groups - and families -can reserve 12 months in advance. People could have reserved a large group campground last August when we started the system." Baseball Team of the Week...

During periods of peak trout production, oxygen levels may fall below the average. But below five ppm, the growth and health of fish suffer. A few of our hatcheries have water supplies that are low in oxygen. Midway Hatchery, near Heber in Wasatch County, is an example. The incoming oxygen from the hatchery's water supply sometimes falls below the critical five ppm level. This severely limits fish production in the upper half of the hatchery. In an effort to solve this problem, the Division has installed a new type of oxygen injection system at Midway to raise the oxygen level to 8.6 ppm, the normal saturation level found in nature, the experimental system was designed and built by Atec, Inc., of Riverton, Wyoming. The process injects highly oxygenated ox-ygenated water into the hatchery's main water supply, which brings the oxygen up to any selected concentration concentra-tion between 5 and 8.6 ppm. Sensors and electronic controllers monitor and automatically open and close valves in the system to maintain a steady oxygen level. The Atec system, now undergoing tests at Midway, could greatly increase in-crease trout production in the state's ten hatcheries while significantly reducing costs. But we must first satisfy ourselves that the system can be made virtually failsafe before we install it in other hatcheries. Oxygen injection systems in all of our hatcheries could someday double trout production statewide and improve im-prove fish health and quality in the bargain. S3 m |
