Show JULY 7. 1987 Davis HI gib basketball camp a success a By Robison. KEITH DUNCAN I believe they keep coming out because we allow them to have fun and second, we teach them some fundamentals of the game. The bottom line is that were not helping kids spring into the NBA in a few years from now, were just trying For the third KAYSVILLE consecutive year since John Robison took over as the head basketball coach at Davis High School, the annual Davis High Summer Basketball Camp has lured over 100 area youth. The success of the camp according to Robison directly stems from the fun the kids get out of it. Over 170 kids are involved this summer, by far the largest turnout in three years. Weve got a certain group of kids that have been here all three years and its got to the point that I know them all by name now, said to allow kids some fun playing bas- ketball. The philosphy were had has paid off too. If it wasnt, then wed probably see a lot fewer kids. The camp had already run five days before the fourth of July and continues all through the balance of the week at the Sam Morgan Fieldhouse on the campus at Davis High School. Thats a total of 10 days of basketball for youth who come here from Kaysville, Fruit Heights, Farmington, Centerville, Bountiful and Layton. Assisting Robison with the camp is his assistant, Russ Zaugg. Zaugg has been Robison's chief assistant since Robison took over when Mike Gardner retired two seasons ago. Perhaps another reason for the success of the camp is Robisons involvement of varsity basketball players. This year Robison has brought in Mike Welling, Brian Olson and Brian Emery to help. Two years ago it was Greg Willard and Jon Rees. Last year Curtis Stoddard and Brad Richins helped Robison out. Having the varsity players in the camp has been a successful move because the kids look at those kids as role models and heroes in many cases, said Robison. The Davis High basketball camp has been running smooth for nearly 20 years now, starting back when Mike Gardner first took over with the Darts. Seemingly the interest has grown each and every year. Gardner himself has one son, Quinn still in the camp. I like that camp because it gives my kids a chance to learn some fundamentals and very importantly, have some fun. But the key is to have fun. See, if my kids go over there and have fun, then they are willing to come home afterwards and practice the fundamentals theyve been taught. The only way they can become high school players is to have good skills. Its important that they have a good experience at the camp so theyll continue on after the camp is over." Coach Robison does a good job of teaching the kids and instills in them that you dont become a good player in the camp, but you become good by going home and practicing everything youve learned. Dave Heath, another father who involves his kids in the Davis High camp, was as equally supportive of what Gardner said. Our kids learn perhaps just as much at the Davis High camp as they do in any other camp around. The fundamentals are taught well, said Heath. Both Todd and Tyler are enrol-- 1 led in the camp this year and have been ever since they were old enough to enter it. Another thing impressive about it, is that its an inexpensive camp. Many of the camps are high priced, but this one is affordable and the kids learn just as much here as they would elsewhere, continued Heath, Utahs Green River fishing is making a big name for itself ing was reduced from 225,000 per year to 100,000 per year. He attributes this increase to several factors, particularly regulations two years ago changing the Green River below Flaming Gorge Reservoir to an artificial-lur- e only stream. Fishermen may only use artificial flies or other lures, and not bait, such as nightcrawlers, cheese or salmon eggs. The limit was change to two fish under 13 inches and one fish over 20 inches. The greater popularity of catch and release fishing has also helped increase the fish population. In addition, the Green River below the dam is rich in nutrients and has a temperature of about 54 degrees, A stretch of the Green River between Flaming Gorge Reservoir and the Colorado line is fast making a legend for itself. One Utahn recently fishing the Yellowstone area was told the best fishing was back home in Utah on the Green River. 30-mi- le This artificial section lure-onl- y of the Green River is excellent for brown, cutthroat, rainbow and brook trout year round. There are between 10,000 and 20,000 fish per mile along the entire stretch of the river, says Jim Johnson, a Michigan native who is now fisheries research biologist for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. which makes it ideal for fish growth. From June through You can catch a lot of fish 3 to 7 pounds. You always see some, says Emmett Heath, a professional tour guide with Western River Fly Fishers. A fair number of fish up to 13 and 14 pounds are caught, says November, fish in the Green River grow at a rate of IV inch per month, one of the fastest growth rates in the nation, according to Johnson. People new to the Green Steve Brayton, Flaming Gorge Project Leader for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. Brayton adds, Fishermen tells us this is one of the best streams in won- der how to fish this river, says Heath. One of the secrets is to fish the edges. Johnson agrees, The majority of fish are on the sides of the river and are best worked from shore. Rafts drift right past the best water. A different kind of boat is gaining popularity among Green River fishermen. It is a maneuverable craft called a dory or Mackenzie river boat. Brayton calls it the Cadillac of float the West. I claim it is number one in the country, says Heath, who has fished all over the United States and Canada, Anyone who fishes it would say its at least in the top five. No one can show me any high-bowe- better. Johnson says the fish population doubled between the fall of 1985 and fall of 1986, even though stock d, fishing. Johnson says it is the best thing Clearfield woman chosen as Federal Womens Club leader CLEARFIELD A Clearfield woman has been installed as president of the Federal Womens Club for the 1987-8- 8 year. Ruth Carper has been installed in the chief executives position. She is retired from the materiel management directorate at HAFB in 1985 after 23 years of federal service. Other new officers are: Florence Lynch, president-elec- t and Billie Murray, treasurer, both of Bountiful; Harriet Lee of Kaysville, publicity chairperson; Verna Nichol, corresponding secretary and Geraldine Benton, assistant club publications editor, both of Clearfield. The new officers will conduct affairs at the upcoming July 18 meeting to be held at the Oaken Bucket, 3535 W. 3500 S. in West Valley City at 12:30 p.m. 2 Reservations may be made by calling Edan at or Louise Taylor at 486-170- 393-916- yet for fishing the Green River. The advantage of a dory is that it can be anchored. A dory also keeps you dry. Dories also come in handy during the slow water flow periods when fish congregate in the middle of the river. Several professional river guides are now using dories on the Green River. Fish may be found along the entire length of the river from the Flaming Gorge Dam to Browns Park. Although more fish are caught nearer the dam, fly fishermen often prefer Browns Park because it is predominantly a wild trout fishery. Casting and wading are easy in Browns Park, where brown trout are the predominant species. Uninproved camping is abundant along this stretch of the Green River. Vehicles may be brought down to the river at the dam, at Little Hole seven miles below the dam or at Browns Park near the Colorado border. People floating the river in rafts may take advantage of the shuttle service offered by Flaming Gorge Lodge. Brayton says his favorite time to fish the Green River is from November 1 through the end of April because he has better luck with browns and bigger fish. I like it anytime of year, says Johnson, who floated the Green River last August in a dory. During the dory trip on the Green River, we got into more fish than anyplace wed been in our lives. 9. Davis High sophomores to begin weight training at Davis High School Sophomores-to-b- e KAYSVILLE can take note that summer conditioning for football will start July 13 at 8 a.m. in the Davis High Fieldhouse, this according to Jim Dickson.

The program of conditioning will be monitored each day by either Coach Dickson or one of his assistants.
