Show Clt 1, 1996 ThUfday, February B 3 Moab grapplers learned a lot at state tournament state wrestling and an nature tourna- The ment proved to be the toughest tourney on Moabs young wrestlers. Moabs lack of state wrestling experience, along with the dominance of Region XII, proved costly for the wrestlers in the first round. Region XII took the top six places in team points, while Moabs Region XIII held to the bottom six places out of six- teen teams represented. Jason Walston, heavyweight, was the only successful wrestler for Moab in the first round with a pin in 21 seconds. Jason lost to Talbot from Morgan, in the quarterfinals by a pin in 3:33. That night Jason pinned White from Beaver, in 20 seconds to advance to the second day. Saturday morning Jason lost to the Region XIII champ, Joe Wright from Kanab, ending his chance to medal in the tournament. Brian Ballard, 171, was Moabs only other wrestler to make it to the second day of the tourney. Bryan lost to Barlow of Morgan in the first round 16 to 1. Bryan won his next match with a pin over Whitaker from Beaver. Saturday morning, Bryan was beating Sargent from North Summit 13-- 3 before being pinned and knocked out of the tournament. Mile Ballantyne, 119, did not qualify for the state tournament, but placed at region as an alternate in case one of the top six couldnt attend. Mike, who had not practiced all week, was given the opportunity to go Thursday after an injury to the Beaver wrestler. Mike was highly excited with the opportunity to compete as a freshman. Even though he lost both matches, Mile wrestled extremely well and the experience should benefit him greatly. Reuben Farnsworth, 215 lost both of his matches, but showed his best at the Region tournament to qualify him for state. Reubens positive attitude and success on his moves over the last two weeks have boosted his outlook and anticipation on next years season. Spencer Nelson, 152 has been be successful with winning the matches. In both matches Spencer was placed on his back four times and each time refused to be pinned by his opponent. His goals and sure determination to be successful with will take him far. Unfortunately for Aaron 145, his last state was tourney disappointing. Aaron was in one of the two Woodard, toughest weight classes of the tournament. Also, Aarons injury, which left stitches in his thigh, caused him to become a defensive wrestler, a style which he was not accustomed to. It was not the aaron or his coaches wanted him to finish out his career, but in light of that he had an extremely successful season, and should be congratulated for it. Motts Adams, 189, also had an unfortunate end to his high school wrestling career. Due to and all year, but that has never slowed him up. The State Tbuma-men- t was another example of under-experience- out-muscl- to compete and Spencers some misfortune, Motts had to d wrestle Clay Denton from Manti. Clay has one of the best physiques ever seen on a wres is strong as ox. Motts tler, was no match for Clay, who went on to win the state title. Motts was part of the strongest and most physical eight class of the tournament. For just a second year wrestler, Motts accomplishments have been by far fantastic. Moab did receive two awards at the state tournament for Acae demic Wrestling. These went to Spencer Nelson and Jason Walston. They were part of a ten member team with a 3 77 GIA average. Coach Ron Dolphin would like All-Stat- to thank coach Miller and Woodard for their dedication and help( Hover and Stacey for managing, and above all, Melonie, Laci, and Jordan for their patience through the season The coaches would also like to show their appreciation and congratulate all of the wrestlers who stuck out a very difficult season and became successful in their own merits. They would also like to thank those who came out to get the program moving in the right direction. Wjr Division of Wildlife Resources cowboys and biologists were forced to scatter when gigantic moose turned on them during a recent transplant of the animals to the Joe's Valley area in Emery County. The agency hopes the Manti Mountain herd will develop to huntable numbers in a few years. Transplanting moose is easier said than done Brent Stettler by Reminiscent of the opening scene from Jurassic Park where r the dragged a technician into screaming park its enclosure, DWR personnel and assisting sportsmen barely escaped serious injury when they released 22 moose at Joes Valley in Emery County on Saturday, February 10. Hackles bristling and shoulders humped stiffly, these magnum deer showed DWR that nobody was going to mess with them. With the force of sledge hammers, hooves slammed against the sides of the horse trailers as moose were prodded to the open doors. Once outside of the trailers, several of these 700 pound packages of adrenaline and muscle chased everyone On in sight in a at least two occasions, cowboys and biologists were forced to scatter. Some dived into trucks, behind trees and under trailers to escape a murderous pounding. Fortunately only minor injuries were incurred during veloci-rapto- split-secon- d escapes to safety. The excitement began a day earlier on Friday when a con- tracted helicopter outfit from New Zealand captured the moose from around Hoop Lake on the north slope of the Uintah Mountains. The Kiwis, accustomed handling all sorts of big and dangerous game, deployed nets over the moose and then jumped to the and sling them ground to hog-ti- e for the waiting chopper. Their job d for widows and is one orphans a moose, fighting a net, takes on the disposition of wet dynamite and these aerial cowbest-suite- boys have had plenty of broken bones to show for their experience. Back at the Hoop Lake guard station, a convoy of trucks and horse trailers waited for the sound of the chopper, bringing back its wildlife cargo. Sportsmen from north and central Utah volunteered their time, equipment and gas to move the big ungulates. Especially noteworthy were the efforts of President Jim Gilson and his group, Sportsmen for Quality Wildlife, headquartered in Price; also, Don Peay and Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife out of Salt Lake. The state veterinarian was also on-han- d to take blood samples from all captured animals. Samples were rushed to the state lab and tested for brucellosis, an important consideration when moving wild animals from one area to another. Come Friday evening, all moose had received a clean bill of health. 3y Saturday morning, all captive animals had been safely released into their new mountain residence. The included seven bulls and 15 cows and calves. Moose have not been a common sight in Utah. The first recorded sighting of a moose in Utah was in 1906 or 1907 in Spanish Fork Canyon. The next sighting occurred in 1918 on the north slope of the Uintahs. It wasnt until 1947 that DWR determined that a herd existed in were Utah. The mule first introduced into central Utah in 1973, when 18 were dropped off in the Fish Creek drainage on the north end of the Manti. In the next few years, DWR transported another 16 to the same area. In 1987, 26 head were trucked into Joes Valley. Four more were dropped off at Scofield Reservoir. In 1988, 28 head of moose were moved from Echo Canyon to Fishlake on the Fishlake National Forest. In 1989, Fishlake received an additional 10; and 12 more arrived on the Manti. DWR wildlife managers hope that this latest transplant will infuse some new life into the struggling population on the Manti. Past transplants have been plagued by poaching and other mortality factors. Jim Karpowitz, DWR regional wildlife manager notes: In 1973, Utah donated a small number of moose to Colorado. Their herd in northwest Colorado has grown to several hundred and is now a huntable population. Theres no reason why our Manti moose herd couldnt go the same way. We encourage sportsmen and the general public to help us control the unlawful taking of moose. We need everyones help to establish a viable moose population here Hunters, photographers and nature lovers all stand to benefit by the presence of these prehistoric-lookindeer, which are the tallest of North American mammals. new-come- year-roun- d look-alike- once-an- d t?

Moreover, the very procedure for changing or abolishing these laws is built right into the provisions. All of this is based on the principles set forth in the Bible, which is emphatic about the preservation of mans freedom.
