Nearly 14,000 turkey dinners served at pageant Take three tons of prime turkey breast, about tons of potatoes, bushels of tossed salad mixings, and what do you have? You have the prime ingredients for the nearly 14,000 barbecued turkey dinners served during the recent Mormon Miracle Pageant. Snow cones in uncountable numbers were the top sellers of the refreshment stands, followed closely that about 10,000 cans of pop crossed the counters. About 8,000 hamburgers sizzled from the grill. Profits from the food operations I f - go toward the financing of the pageant and the remainder goes to the missionary fund. The breakfasts served by youth groups provide funding for youth programs. More than 1900 breakfasts were served at the Manti City Park, while the Manti Stake Center served 1425. This adds up to about 1680 eggs and a 300 foot high stack of pancakes. More than 160 volunteers helped made the dinners and other food services a success. 4 -- f' k YT2 I;,, rant i i r US li' t ' " Jr i ' . HY v Now is the time for best use of Flaming Gorge Now is the time to catch lake trout and smallmouth bass at Flaming Gorge, according to Steve Brayton, Earning Gorge and Green River Fisheries Project Leader for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR). Weve seen several big lake trout in our creel census this year and have heard of other large fish being taken, says Brayton. Weveverifieda40and a 46 pounder so far in June. These fish didnt break the record but they came close. (The Utah lake trout record, is 2 pounds, taken from Earning Gorge in 1988). The trip to catching big lake trout is getting your lure deep enough, Brayton counsels. The fish are down on the bottom at depths of 80 to 1 1 0 feet or more. It takes special equipment to reach these depths, such as down riggers and steel lines. A down rigger is a heavy lead weight attached to a steel cable. The fishing line is connected to the weight with a quick release. After the line is attached, weight is then lowered over the side of the boat to the desired depth. If a fish strikes, the line is released from the weight. Steel fishing lines are used instead of the more common monofilament nylon lines. The weight of the line and the accessories, such as popgear and flashers, help to carry the lure or bait to deep water. Brayton says jigging is another tommon way to fish for lake trout on Flaming Gorge. This technique works best on calm days because it requires the boat to stay directly over the fish. Generally, fish are located with a fish finder and the anglers drop their jigs over the side. Usually the fish finder can spot the jigs so the anglers know when the lures are deep enough. The jigs are them pulled up and allowed to drop again so that the lures flutter in front of the fish. Anglers also need patience. Catch rates for these big fish are a little slow for most anglers. The average is about one every 30 hours, Brayton says. Smallmouth bass fishing is also coming on strong now and should be red hot for the next few weeks while they spawn, says Brayton. Right now the smallmouth bass are in shallow water and easily accessible. After they spawn, the larger fish will move down to 20 to 30 foot depths while the smaller fish will take over the shallow water. Smallmouth bass prefer rocky shorelines so these lures need to be fished in close to the rocks. The bass will generally hit lightly as the lure drops so the angler needs to manage the amount of slack in his line. Occasionally smallmouth bass are caught by trolling but generally anglers have much better luck fishing from shore, float tubes or by casting from a stationary or slow moving boat. Flaming Gorge has special regulations on trout and bass so please read the fishing proclamation carefully, before you go , fishing. 51-1- Looking Back , v Salina Sun July 26, 1935 The Community band concerts, scheduled for every Friday evening on the lawn at the Brow home, ar? lo. be continued as first proposed. The big crowd that had gathered last Friday evening met with disappointment as none of the members of the band appeared. It is explained that the reason for not appearing was that so many were out of town, the boy members being with the scouts on the outing, and others at Fishlake. Director Sorenson has assured the public that the concerts will be held regularly. The regular childrens dance which was missed Wednesday, will gain be resumed. The dance will be held between 7 and 8 oclock at the First Ward Chapel. FEED is accepting Grain for Storage!' Call Salina Feed 529-776- 1 630 West Main - Salina Open 8 to 5!

It didnt take long, the Mayor MEDICARE added. There were thousands of SUPPLEMENTS dead crickets within a few minutes. A mix tureof Sevin 5 powder and oats was used as tasty bait for the pests. Thousands of crickets had died as they fell into the Sevier Valley Canal, covering the surface of the water. Thousands of crickets were DONALDSON also being seen on the westbound INSURANCE lanes of the freeway. Leon Thompson, a retired govern558 South Main ment employee who has worked Gunnison with Millard county in its battle 528-725- 3 against the crickets, noted that most of the crickets will likely die within a week or so anyway, due to natural causes. Most of the females have already laid their eggs, and die shortly thereafter this process is completed. A new spray for controlling crickets has been developed, and an expert from Salt Lake City was . The concentration of methane in the atmosphere is increasing at about 1 percent per year. Wheres it coming from? Following are some thoughts by an associate professor at Washington State universitys Laboratory for Atmospheric Research, Brian Lamb. Carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels is thought to be the biggest contributor among gases that trap heat. Natural wetlands and rice paddies each produce about 20 percent of the total atmospheric of methane -- - and ruminant, or animals are thought to cud-chewi- produce about 15 percent. It has been estimated that a single cow produces 100 to 200 liters of methane a day. Lamb explained. That doesnt seem like much, but when you consider how many cows - you may there are world-wid- e the magidea of some to begin get added. he nitude, --Lamb and animal sciences three year $300,000 study for the Protection U.S Environmental determine to just how much Agency methane gas enters the atmosphere when cows burp. During the studys first year the scientists will rotate cattle through range, fecdlot and dairy diets to see how much methane each produces. In subsequent years the EPA wants to check those results against cattle diets in other countries. And how do we measure the methane from these burps? A canvas harness, similar to a horse bridle is fitted over the cows head. A stainless steel cylinder is attached that hangs like a cow bell form the animals neck. Sensors on the harness draw samples from the animals noes and mouth into the vacuum cylinder when can then be removed and tested in the laboratory and analysis made of the collected gases. The study Methane Emissions from Ruminant Livestock has given editorial cartoonists a hey day, and radio talk show hosts have delighted I in talking about it. However, think its important that people understand that climatic change is a serious threat and that this study may play an important part in our gaining of that understanding, Lamb said. ATTENTION SENIOR CITIZENS to meet with city and county commission officials last week to explain and demonstrate its capabilities. Spraying on Bureau of Land Management lands is prohibited, which is why the crickets were free to cross the Pahvant range and progress toward the city. Without the freeway and the canal, the city would have been completely infested by now, said Mayor Anderson. Officials say that the major concern now is the new hatch of the pests next year. The crickets eat plants such as sagebrush, thistle and mustard, but also devour succulent new shoots Buy 1 14 FOR A CAREER IN HEAVY EQUIPMENT OPERATION ANDOR TRUCK DRIVING Start your career at CEU!
