According to Messmer, results of a survey conducted by sociologists at Utah State University in 1986 indicated that Utahns were highly supportive of funding programs to manage for wildlife diver- 7. If passed, the bill could mean as as much $14,000,000 annually to the state of Utah to fund wildlife conservation efforts and recreation. The money would be shared by both the Division of Wildlife Resources and the Division of Parks and Recreation. Congressional sponsors of the bill held a joint House Senate press conference Oct. 7 in Washington, D.C., announcing the introduction of the bill. Its time, said Terry Messmer, Utah Chairman of the Teaming With Wildlife Coalition, a 3,000 member coalition of wildlife professionals, government and business representatives from across the country that spawned the idea for national legislation to fund critical wildlife conservation and recreation needs in the United sity.

It still seems so simple Keep the ball, Win the game. Try it Spartans, you just might like it. Emery is now slated for a third place finish in the region since Richfield should pose no threat for the Spartans if they hold onto the football. This seeding just might be an advantage. The opponents just might think that we are no good. This just may allow us to sneak up on somebody in the first two rounds of the playoffs.

One of the worst nightmares a person can have is knowing that you have lost to an inferior team. The realization that you have just handed the ball game to someone on a silver platter is not a feeling that makes you feel warm and fuzzy or stronger. They just try harder. The Air Force does not recruit football players. They play what they have and they usually play very well. While they may be physically less talented, they do make a better team because of their mental preparedness. They follow the rules. They dont make mistakes they Keep the ball, they Win the game. They win on heart and desire. They are winners. Quitting! The most despised word in all of sports is quitting. This just is not supposed to happen. I have always taught my kids that quitting is not an option once you have made the team and others are depending on you to do your part. If you dont want to play than just dont try out. But dont quit. Once you have made a commitment, then stick with it. All week I have been trying to understand the thinking of Kerry Collins, former starting quarterback of the Carolina Panthers. He just quit. He says his heart just wasnt in it any more. WHAT? How do you decide that your heart isnt in it any more? How do you decide to just let your teammates down? Life is tough for all of us. But character is built by preserving. Work hard and then work harder. Try and try again. Give it your all. Just dont quit. Kerry grow up. You just let down the whole team. You joined, you took the money and then you quit. YUCK! hunting because it was found to be toxic to ducks and geese that ingest it while feeding.
