Show Free Press - Wednesday, November 22, 1995 - Page LHS swim team paddles By TRACY WILSON How does a Pioneer swim? Evidently he or she does alright as the Lehi High School swim teams proved last Saturday in a Utah County meet at Orem Fitness Center. Coach Dennis Meyring was excited as he explained the progress of the teams and individuals who make up the squads. Although the Pioneer swimmers won only one gold in the competition, it proved their mettle as they swam against 5A and 4A schools in this invitational. Teamwise, the boys finished third behind Orem and Mountain View and the girls finished sixth overall with Orem winning the nine-tea- first, then captured silver medals in the 200 freestyle and 200 breaststroke. He was joined in the 200 breaststroke point race by Jed Colledge who finished ninth. Kenny Bryson was another Pioneer swimmer who picked up some valuable points on the medley relay team, a seventh in the IM and an eighth in the 100 free. Scott Bryson earned ninths in the 100 backstroke and 100 butterfly. A pleasant surprise for the Lehi team was Brad Savage's second place finish behind Timpview's defending state champion diver from the 4A ranks. Coach Laurel Abernathy was proud of her protege. Ethan Adams finished sixth in the 100 back and seventh in the 100 fly. Doug Russell was Lehi's other male swimmer to earn points, with a sixth in the 50 yard freestyle. Lehi girls who picked up valuable spots included Sara Worlton, two eighths in the 50 free and 100 back; Erin Larson, an eighth in the fly; Marcie Taggart, ninth in the 500 freestyle and tenth in the 100 back. Heidi Ferkovich finished twelfth in the 100 back to give Lehi three of the twelve spots. Lehi has now swum in five outings, having gone against Mountain Crest and American Fork at Hyrum, against Cedar City, Dixie, Pineview, Snow Canyon and Granite and other southern schools at Cedar City and St. m competition. Lehi's only first came in the medley where relay Shawn Peterson, Troy Koltermann, Kenny Bryson and Shawn Ross bested all other teams; they also finished second in the 200 freestyle relay. Koltermann recorded a strong time with a second in the 100 yd. butterfly and a fifth in the 200 yard individual medley. But the best time of the meet for Lehi was posted by Jackie Hadfield who finished second to Orem's Jenny Sorenson, a second place finisher at the 5A state meet last year; Sorenson is ranked first in the state at the 500 yard freestyle. Hadfield's time was 5:47 and is 14 seconds ahead of any other 3A swimmer in the state. It also automatically qualifies her for the state meet in February. She helped the 200 freestyle relay team to third place, joining Angie Krebs, Sara Worlton and Erin Larson. Hadfield earned a bronze in the 50 freestyle. Shawn Peterson was another Lehi standout as he led off the medley relay team which finished Cedar is the defending state champion in both girls' and boys' categories at the 3A level. Yesterday the Pioneers traveled to Tooele to swim against the perenGeorge. nially tough Buffaloes. The Pioneers will entertain South Summit in their first home swim on Dec. 9 at the American Fork pool. Wrestling season now underway; first home meet slated for Dec. 8 By TRACY WILSON school-style- and Monday. Brandon Madsen, Branden Wilson and Shane Southwick plan to go to the mat first in the 103, 112 and 119 pound classifications, respectively. At 125 Ryan Roseman and Brady Ewing still hadn't decided who would wrestle varsity at Springville at press time. Moving into the middle weights, Rhett Beecher, Drew Wilson, Brandon Harris and Andy Peterson compete in the 130, 135, 140 and 145 weight .categories. Peterson was a third place finisher Colby Harris at 189. 768-373- Both Peterson and Harris placed sixth in their respective weights at state last year and are also defending champions of the region. Tyson Boltz and Kyler Fisher are the over-20- 0 pound team members with Boltz at 215 and Fisher in the unlimited class. Next Wednesday the Pioneer matmen will head south to Pineview and Hurricane for a double dual. Coach Gavin and Coach Rice are optimistic about the teams chances in this year's mat wars and are anxious to show their teams at home on Dec. 8. . By TRACY WILSON Lehi High School's boys' basketball team is headed out of town for its first two contests this season as they travel to Payson on Friday Nov. 24 and to Bear River Saturday Nov. 25. With a new coach and only one returning starter from last year, the Pioneers still expect to be a force to reckon with as they compete in Region 10 of the 3A classification. Coach Dave Filimoehala has taken over as the new head man with veteran Lehi assistants Lonnie Magnusson and Lynn Allan mentoring the junior varsity and sophomores, respectively. Also assisting Coach Fili are Ed Ruder and Tyler Munson. Filimoehala is impressed with the quality of young men whom he has inherited. He sees them as possessing "a lot of leadership and good work habits." He says he will incorporate an pres- "up-temp- o, sure" program, applying full-cou- 'Viv iBlmiii flu.

Snowy conditions can make remaining habitat inadequate for survival. Many of us have seen, in recent years, pheasants and quail dodging snow plows and automobiles while searching for food. As many of us give thanks for the beautiful wildlife around us, we can give something back by providing feed and cover for wintering birds. Bird feeding along the Wasatch Front is growing in popularity, with many families providing food for wildlife. Some statistics claim that bird feeding is now the second most popular wildlife activity in the state. Seeds and nuts are some of the greatest nutritional sources for wintering birds. "There are several seed types to attract birds. Black-osunflower seeds and millet are the best knowns, but there is a thistle seed which will attract smaller birds, too," said Bob Walters, Wildlife Program Coordinator of the Division of Wildlife Resources (DWRj. He notes that chickadees, finches, robins, pine siskens, and others readily flock to free food, while apple slices and pears attract flickers and woodpeckers to your yard.

Dean Mitchell, Upland Game Coordinator, explains that location is key in attracting different birds, "Four basic feeder locations accommodate different foraging habits of birds: 1. ground, 2. tabletop, 3. hanging, and 4. tree trunk." He adds that minimal cost is required to build an appropriate bird feeder. Juncos, towhees, most sparrows, 8 OOU ColisionRepoIr Sbedobts a 880 North 100 East Lehi - 768-355- 8 quail and pheasants are ground level foragers. An effective quail and pheasant feeder can be constructed by making an eight-inc- h diameter cylinder out of 14 inch by 36 inch "hardware cloth." The cylinder can be nailed to a plywood platform elevated above the snow by cinder blocks. Once the cylinder is solidly fastened to the platform, kernel corn can be used to fill the cylinder." Mitchell mentions that tabletop level feeders, placed approximately five to eight feet off the ground, will attract birds which look for food in taller shrubs and trees.

Hanging Ron Thornton feeders tend to attract these same birds. Suet and feeders mounted on tree trunks attract woodpeckers, nuthatches, and brown creepers, as they naturally search along tree trunks for food. Feeding Utah's wintering birds can provide entertainment, education, and a sense of accomplishment. Division of Wildlife Resources offices across the state can provide tips on appropriate feed, plans to build your own bird feeders and upland game bird cribs.
