Show Th s Magna Tim, Thursday, January 22, 1987 Pag 7 1 Foreign Exchange student can now compete By DALE J. NEILSON A Cyprus High School foreign exchange student has been granted eligibility to compete in all competition, thus overturning an earlier decision by the Utah High inter-scho- ol Schools Activities Association (UHSAA). The landmark ruling came on Jan. Legislative by the Council of the UHSAA. It throws out an Oct. 2, 1986 verdict in which Sammy Adams was denied the right to participate in any activities involving five-memb- er 15 other high schools. They decided that Im eligible now! exclaimed the joyful Adams. They changed the previous decision! Had Adams been turned away, it would have marked the fourth consecutive occasion for rejection. We explained the situation to them (Legislative Council) that there was no recruiting by basketball Coach Mark Wilson or Cyprus High School, declared the Antwerp, Belgium, native. And no one offered me free room and board, either! Adams host in Magna is the Ken- neth Meadows family, who have seen their visitor through the entire episode of events. Of the recent decision, Meadows said, Were happy that we got a good fair hearing and are pleased with the decision. The board told us that the previous decisions were correct, according to the other individuals understanding. Sherry Allen, the president of the Legislative Council, told us that they based their ruling on the facts given them in the hearing. My concern was in winning this discrimination type thing, because earlier, we didnt get treated fairly. Cyprus principal Jim Short is glad its finally over. Its important to have a resolution and that's what we got. The story of Adams desire to attend high school in the United States is a long one, extending back into early. 1986. Since then, the Cyprus senior has been telling anyone who would listen that he should be allowed to participate. At the center of the controversy is the question, Was there undue influence? Undue influence is defined as illegal measures taken in order to insure a students eligibility, either in high school or college. The UHSAA, as well as the Region 3 Board of Managers, (the regions high school principals) contend that undue influence was the determining factor in Adams desire to attend an American high school. He was promised free board and room by Coach Wilson at the high school, claimed the UHSAAs executive director, Marion Tree. Not so, according to Wilson. I told Sammy that we at Cyprus would help him find the best quality home he could live in. Thats exactly what we told him! Now, you can read into that what you want, declared the coach. We never discussed with Sammy the finances, as far as where hed be living. We discussed how much money it would cost to 1 ive here and the spending money that he would Cyprus girls cagers defeat Granger MAGNA Cyprus High sopho- Baxter added six points for the victory. more Marcee Christoferson poured in Last Thursday, Cyprus was pla15 points, including three three-poigued by turnovers early in a surprisbaskets, and senior Susan Slaven ing 4 loss to Olympus.

Where do these colors come from? As children we were told that Jack Frost painted them. In reality, the colors were present in the leaves all the time. During the growing season these deciduous trees oaks, maples, aspens, birches, gums, etc. have green leaves because of the presence of the green year-arou- nd pigment chlorophyll.

Theres not a good feeling about it and a lot of questions have been left unanswered. Since the Legislative Council of the UHSAA is the highest athletic governing body in the state, the next step would logically be court action. Such a decision would have to be made by the Associations Board of Directors, who meet on Feb. 3 and 4. But its such an appeal highly unlikely would be pursued, said Trees assistant, David Wilkey. Dont forget By DALE J. NEILSON New management appointments are expected to strengthen the tics of Hercules Incorporated to Utah. Effective this spring, former Utahns will assume two of the three top positions in directing the affairs of the world-wid- e chemical company which has operations in Magna and Clearfield and headquarters of its Aerospace Products Group in the Salt Lake area. Fred L. Buckner, a 1958 mechanical engineering graduate of the University of Utah and former Magna resident, becomes president and chief operating Both Buckner and Engebretsen top-lev- officer. Arden B. Engebrctsen, a political science graduate who earned a law degree from the U. of U. in 1955, becomes vice chairman while continuing as chief financial officer. David S. Hollingsworth, no stranger to Utah, was named chairman and chief executive officer. The changes arc brought about by the retirement of Alexander F. Giacco as chairman, president and chief executive officer on March 24. 6 free throw Bucs hit a decent attempts for 60 percent and hit three pointers (beyond 19 ft. 9 in.). As far as the Olympus Titans are concerned, we were just outplayed, we were flat, lamented Wilson. Sidney (Freeman) played an outstanding game, he was great with 29 points. The rest of us were just flat. Cyprus shot 39 percent from the field, compared to the Titans 52 percent. The Bucs were 12-1- 8 for 67 percent on their free throws and Olympus was 16-2- 3 and 70 percent 11-1- ix Cyprus High Schools boys basketball team has fallen upon hard times overall record, 0--4 in Region with a 3.

Kearns squeaked by host Cyprus and Olympus dominated the by 74-5- 4 rout. visiting Pirates in a Kearns was a good close game the whole way, said Cyprus coach Mark Wilson. Both teams had chances to win; we couldnt get the ball in the basket, because we went cold. Though die Cougars shot a horrible 36 percent from the throw line in 1 shooting, they made their free throws when they needed to, according to Wilson. The 52-5- started with Hercules at the Bacchus operations in Magna. Buckner served as a development engineer before transferring to the corporate headquarters in Wilmington, Del. Engebretsen was Bacchus legal adviser before joining the corporate legal staff, also at Wilmington. Buckner, son of a Kennecott mill worker, was reared in Magna. He started at Bacchus in 1961 shortly after the transition from dynamite opera- tions to chemical propulsion. His mother, now a widow, resides in Alpine, Utah County. Engebretsen spent his youth in California and came to the Ogden area with his family in 1949. Between college and law school, he was an Air Force 6 pilot. He also served as Salt Lake County Republican chairman and was assistant to former Utah Gov. George D. Clyde. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Engebretsen, reside in Salt Lake City. from the line. For Cyprus Cottonwood and Granger games on Tuesday and Friday of this week, respectively, Pirate fans may have somewhat of a surprise. Sammy Adams, a Belgium transfer student, has been ruled eligible by the governing board of the Utah High Schools Activities Association. We need some offensive punch in the lineup right now and Sammy is the kind of player who can do it. Hes so strong, he will make everybody else better. - A Public Bmrvicm of Otm UN Heres a tip a Tax Tip. . . . Dont Pass up the opportunity to get free information on leaves and a new growing season gins. Why does this happen? The bede- ciduous trees typically have broad flat leaves that maximize the surface area that can be exposed to the sun. This increased exposure allows more photosynthesis. The large surface area also allows a lot of water to evaporate from the leaf surface. In fact a mature oak tree may release more than 100 gallons of water during a particularly hot day. This water is replaced by water that passes from the soil through the roots into the tree. That poses a problem in winter. Once the ground is frozen, the roots can no longer absorb adequate supplies of water. Dissolved minerals in the tree itself could act as an antifreeze to keep the water in the tree from freezing. If the leaves remained, evaporation would continue, and the tree would lose water without being able to replenish it The trees adapt by dropping their leaves, thus conserving their water. Evergreens, especially the conifers, escape this problem by having thin leaves to minimize surface area for evaporation. The waxy coatings on their leaves further reduce evaporation. Evergreens greatly reduce their activity in the winter, but they retain their green foliage. numerous tax subjects. IRS has over 100 special publications to answer tax questions.
