Orem picked up wins over Brighton and Timpanogos while the Bruins defeated Brighton before being edged by a run at Jordan. This week they face each other at Mountain View in what will be the final region game for both teams. Orem 3 Brighton 0 Even though the Tigers beat the Bengals by a 9-1 margin the first time they played them, Orem still feels like their 3-0 win over Brighton last week was a definite improvement. "We played a lot better defense. We just left a lot of people on base," Tiger senior Raquel Knapp commented. com-mented. Oram's defense was much-improved, spurred by the near-flawless pitching game of freshman Trina Knapp. The younger Knapp came within a hit of a no-hitter in the game that moved them to 8-4 in region play. The Tigers may have stranded potential scorers in the early innings, in-nings, but their defense made sure Brighton rarely came close to home plate. In the sixth inning, Orem broke through, scoring all 3 runs of the games. Raquel Knapp led Orem's hitting attack with 2 doubles. Orem 11 Timpanogos 6 Earlier in the week, Orem toppled cross-town rival Timpanogos 11-6. Ally larding pitched her team to the win, while Ashley Buswell went theV distance for the Timberwolves. Timpanogos took a 5-3 lead in the third inning. But that was quickly stopped as Orem outscored Timp 8-1 in the filial innings. Trina Knapp led all hitters hit-ters with a triple. Mountain View 4 Brighton 2 The Bruins battled back from an early-inning deficit to take the win over the Bengals. "We didn't hit very good. We weren't into it very much in the first half," said Bruin senior Desi Newton. But the Bruins recovered from their slow start in the fourth in ning when one by one Mountain View knocked in all 4 of their runs. Shannon Lewis had a triple, Brook Dodge a 3-run triple, while Newton and Lisa Osguthorpe each had RBI doubles in that 4-run fourth inning in-ning effort. Hayley Larson took control on the mound, allowing just 3 hits and striking out 3. Mountain View 0 Jordan 1 On Thursday, Mountain View's match-up with Jordan proved just why the two teams are the top in region 4. Both teams battled closely in this defensive de-fensive ballgame. Unfortunately for the Bruins, it was an error in the field that made the difference. After Jordan got one runner on, "we just couldn't ever catch up," Newton commented. Shannon Lewis pitched the tight ballgame for MountainView. The Bruins finish up region play this week tied with Jordan at 10-2 in region play. The Bruins Bru-ins look to improve their record in their final two region matchups match-ups with Timpanogos and Orem. What can I do now to care for my lawn? Answer by: Jerry Goodspeed, USU Extension Horticulturist If you are trying to wrap up inside projects and the sight of lawnmowers and people outside doing yardwork makes you feel guilty, you are not alone. If you start soon, however, your yard won't look much different from the neighbors in a few weeks. Proper care of your lawn in the spring will help promote healthy, heal-thy, green grass throughout the year. Consider these tips. Core aeration, where small plugs are removed from the soil, has proven to be more beneficial to turf than power raking, which was a common yard care technique techni-que several years ago. Aerating allows for better air, water, and fertilizer penetration into the soil. It also helps reduce the thatch layer and minimize compaction com-paction that produces unhealthy roots. It can be done any time the ground is free from snow. Heavily used areas and ciay soils may need to be aerated twice a year, once in the spring and again in the fall. Normal soil types and use areas are usually fine with one aeration in the spring, and sandy soils only need it every two years. If a fall fertilizer was applied ap-plied last year, the grass may not again until mid or late May. If there was no fall application, a fertilizer high in nitrogen can be applied now.' Orem Youth Triathalon registration Registrations for the Orem Youth Triathalon will be taken at the Orem Fitness Center until May 21, 1997.

Contrary to the claims of ts supporters, the Kennedy-Hatch nroSam woulI?equire all states to submit their gg to Washington bureaucrats for approval. And the $30 billion tax increase proposed by Seniors Hatch and Kennedy does not even include the costs of the program that must be paid by the states. Si further undermine PesponsMrry and weaken consumer choice. PeKcnn"2L Hatch legislation sets the stage for government-"n government-"n heal! care for all Americans, not ,ust for children. In tact, it is jusi mc vw. considered by President Clinton and First Lady hS Rodham Clinton. Notes from their " S force during the health care reform debate in 1994 indicated that starting with a smXprogram for children was one step toward small progid mmtnt-nm health care estaDiisnuig a !",- & system for all Americans. Developing yet another entitlement program will do nothing to cure what ails America's health care system. Instead, we must change the tax code so that families can keep more of their income. We must also eliminate the tax penalty on individuals who purchase their own health nsurance. Congress could start this process by t palpation cap, sunsetroviston and tax penalty against withcfrawal m the medical savings account pilot program. Finally, the many state and federal mandates on health insurance coverage should be repealed. These unfunded private sector mXes force consumers to pay for types of coverage they may not want or need. I nus, the colt o insurance is needlessly increased, making it unaffordable for too many Americans. Senator Bennett, if the legislation sponsored by Senators Kennedy and Hatch is adopted and becomes law, reform that can truly mlPe health insurance affordable and accessible S all Americans will become impossible Your decision to withdraw as a co-sponsor ot this leg Is ation was the right thing to do, and you deserve the appreciation of every parent and child in Utah - and throughout the nation. Sincerely, Paul Beckner President ...thanks for saying "no" to government-run health care for our children! Paid for by Citizens for a Sound Economy, 1250 H Sr t NW 700. Washington DC 20005 |
