Bangerter declares Free Fishing Day Governor Norman Bangerter last Wednesday declared Saturday, June 11, to be Utah's first Free Fishing Day during a brief ceremony in the governor's office. On that day, no fishing license will be required to fish anywhere in the state. All other angling regulations, including bag and possession limits, will be in effect. The governor also announced Utah's observance of National Fishing Week June 6 through 12, a week-long celebration of America's heritage of sport fishing proclaimed earlier this year by President Reagan. Free Fishing Day is expected to draw large crowds at popular fishing waters statewide. Keying on the theme, "take a kid fishing," the event is aimed at getting more people, especially youngsters, involved in-volved in the ' lifetime sport of fishing. Division of Wildlife Resources Director Bill Geer says he hopes many youngsters who have never been fishing will have that opportunity op-portunity on Free Fishing Day. "It would be great if every veteran angler in the state would take a kid fishing,"- said Geer. "A lot of children in our urban areas are being raised in single parent households, usually by the mother, and they just haven't had the opportunity op-portunity to learn about the outdoors out-doors and the fun of fishing. It's hard enough these days with both parents in the home to find the time to get out. I hope' a lot of these kids get to go fishing on June 11," Geer concluded. The Division of Wildlife Resources will showcase the state's 10 trout hatcheries on Free Fishing Day. All the hatcheries will be open to the public and hatchery personnel per-sonnel are braced for a busy day conducting tours. The free tours are educational and great family fun. ' The Utah Legislature in 1986 passed Senate Bill 10, sponsored by Senator Fred Finlinson and Representative Mike Dmitrich, which authorized the Utah Wildlife Board to establish one free fishing day each year. This year marks the first observance of the event.

The game was mostly a tight affair, but the Braves' pitching staff struck out 16 hitters, thereby holding Wasatch to two hits. The Wasps got on the board first. At the top of the first, Wasatch's Shane Cluff sliced a single into left. After the Wasps had loaded the bases on one out, he raced home on a passed ball by pitcher Brett Bunker. The run was the only one the Brave allowed to come in, for he ICd two straight hitters, aborting a Wasatch rally. Two errors by second baseman Cluff allowed American Fork to take control of the game in the bottom of the inning. Put on base by the first error, Shane Jackson came home on a Shane Rothwell single. The second error allowed Rothwell to score a run. Wasp pitcher Danny Meeks tried minimizing the damage from the two errors by striking out Steve Robinson and Stan Parrish. Although Al-though the two ICs retired American Ameri-can Fork, Wasatch never got back into the game. Bunker saw to that. Proving center field was not only place he could play well, the Brave fanned 10 hitters during the four innings he pitched. Besides Cluff, the only other Wasp to get a hit off Bunker was Curtis Mair. Singling in the fourth, the Wasatch player managed to steal around to third, but got stranded there. Relieving Bunker in the fifth, Rothwell compensated for missing out much ofhis season as an American Ameri-can Fork Caveman. He ICd six men during the three innings he pitched, giving up only one walk. Meanwhile, Jackson proved he could do as well in baseball as he had done in sc-xer this spring. In the bottom of the second, he tripled in Paul Smith for the Braves' only run for the inning. The scored stayed 3-1 until the sixth when American Fork pulled off a three-run rally, knocking the game out of the Wasps' reach.

Academics as important as athletics in long run By DEAN VON MEMMOTT When the "Citizen Athlete of the Week" column was. created four year3 ago, its chief purpose was to profile various American Fork High athletes. Little did anyone realize at the time some of the things that would result from it. One spinoff from it was the creation crea-tion of the "AFHS Citizen of the Week" feature. How it came about was that one official in the high school PTA believed that since athletes were being honored in this paper, other students should also receive recognition for great accomplishments. ac-complishments. Playing sports is great. However, How-ever, all athletes reach the point where they can't play any more. Their bodies become worn by time, and they have to look for some other kinds of activities to be involved in. Unlike the body, the mind often takes a longer time to deterioriate. If you don't believe that, take a look at some old people who are still mentally alert even though their bodies are going downhill. With what people are capable of doing with their minds, it is so important to get an education . Sean Dunkley, a recent Athlete of the Week, gave a strong reason academics are so important to athletes: ath-letes: "In order to play ball, you must make an effort to keep your academic work up. Academics are first priority." Athletes who get high mark s in class will be better prepared for any career. That is a thought all athletes should remember when they step out into the real world on their graduation day. valuable COUPON) i All-You-Can-Eat 8(3D((1 LD(l?
