Show wTr TtWv Ty" Vf" Outdoors Sun Advocate From the Sidelines by Scott Niendorf Sun Advocate Sports Editor Football season inspires nostalgia Football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football, football... ...just saying the word evokes memories of gridiron dreams and emotions ... and excitement for the coming season. Football is awsome- - it really is. I remember times when dad used to quarterback and my brother and I would take turns playing offense and defense in a passing games before dinner in our long backyard in Boise. Dad could really throw a spiral and my brother and I would fake each other out to get open for a touchdown. Mom would have to yell at us time and again out the back door that dinner was getting cold. Those were great family one-on-o- memories, yes sir. And then there were the classic neighborhood backyard games at the Coombs' across the street where 'Tootie' Coombs would round up kids from up and down our long street in west Boise every day right after school. Tootie's brothers played, the Brocks next door, the Elliott brothers, 'leadpants' Jones, fat Dale who could only play quarterback because he couldn't run, the Steiners and even Tootie's cute sister Linda and her friend Moira, who were no wimps (we played tackle football), would play in espe- contests in cially the backyard. The goal line was between the last clothesline post by the fence and the telephone pole on the other side of the yard. We played before dinner and after dinner until it got too dark. And in Boise, it gets dark real well-attend- late. When Thanksgiving rolled around, Tootie would round up everyone for a dinner game in his backyard, often in the snow (which was good in a way, because we didn't have to watch out for Theodore's dog doo as much). We even got up games against teams from surrounding neighborhoods, playing those battles at the elementary schoolyard to have more room to run in. Of course, we always talked about who the best players were on our block and how they would go on to be great professional stars, and their career would have started right on our street. as My brother made a defensive end at high school and was recruited by Ricks College, but none of us went further than that. But it was those games of football, played in tall grass or wet aspen and maple leaves during the rain each fall, or snow of New Year's Day, that I will recall each time I see a post-turke- y 4a Dino netters set for new season vs. AF By SCOTT NIENDORF Sports editor Cuts for 1994 have been made and the Dino volleyball team is getting ready to start its new season this week. Losing five exceptional seniors from last years team could have had an effect on Carbons success, but new Dino coach Alayne Carrillos cupboard was definitely not left bare. Thursday marks the opening match between Carbon High School and the American Fork Cavegirls to be played in the Dino gym. The 5A team from Utah County was unceremoniously dumped by Carbon in just two games in a opener for both teams last 2 3 and year, Yes, I think theyll be up for us, said coach Carrillo about the rematch. They will be out for revenge. Hopefully well be able to rise to the challenge. non-conferen- 15-1- 15-1- The key to last seasons victory for the Dinos was good passing and Carbon will be focusing on the same strategy during 1994. Weve got good hitters, but youve got to be able to pass the ball to get the game going, Carrillo said. She said the team is looking forward to getting the season started and the players have shown good intensity in the preseason workouts. I see a lot of excitement out there, Carillo said. She added the team members have displayed a strong cohesiveness important to good teamwork. She said five seniors will most likely start in varsity action, led by Stacy Lupo and Nicole Trauntvein. Carillo said seniors Nicolle Taylor, Sandi Brown and jump setter Lorie Williams will pace the team along with junior Cami Carlson, who saw extensive varsity action last season. The coach added players like Kara Stewart, Jamie Shepherd, Corinne Cartwright, tice. The Dino netters open their season Thursday at home against American Fork.

I DWR By BRENT DWR writer Beginning Monday, Aug. 29, all left-ovpermits will be sold over the counter at all Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) offices. Since Aug. 1, all big game death and taxes, to be another seems change in todays world. certainty Management of Utahs big game populations is no exception, according to the Division of Wildlife Resources. Six consecutive years of drought, the killing winter of 1992-9- 3 and return of drought and record heat in 1994 have plagued game management efforts to maintain healthy deer herds and provide for a limited harvest. Short-seaso- n hunts w cr to take in 1992 implemented off declining deer pressure herds, impacted by drought. permits remaining after the July 8 drawing became available by mail-iapplication n on a first-com- first-serve- e, d bcisis As of Aug. 17, over 13,000 geneial season bull elk per- mits and almost 30,000 deer permits remained unsold. Elk permits are valid for general season units across the state during the rifle season, Deer running from Oct. permits are valid only for the region and weapon specified on the permit. On July 8, the Board of Big Game Control lifted the restriction of one antlered big game hunt per hunter in 1994. It enabled sportsmen who drew out for a bull elk for a buck hunt to deer permit and visa versa. Hunters interested in one or more big game hunts this year still have time to apply by mail. 8. Desert Thunder winners The Central Utah Stock Car Racing Association ran another in a summer series of events Saturday at the Desert Thunder race track with several local racers coming out on top. Results of the mini stock category saw Mickey Stubbing of Helper take first, Rick Adams of Price coming in second and Larry Rhodes, also of Price clinching third. Adams also picked up the trophy dash title in his class. Helpers Corey Smith took first place in the hobby stock event and claimed the trophy dash as well. Eric Hilliard of Price claimed second place honors in the category while Prices Clmt Sanderson took third. The late model class was won by Brett Hallmaik out of Colorado while Curt Daniels, also from Colorado, took second. Helpers Chuck Buchanan was the local placer at third. Hallmark also ran home with the categorys trophy dash The next event at Desert Thunder is scheduled for Sept. 3 and 4, both starts set for 7:30 p.m. A car show is planned Sept. 3 in the Matador parking lot fiom 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Also, Kids Ride Night is set for Sept. 4 for kids 12 and under. STETTLER Along with er The choose-your-wcapo- n management strategy came into being in 1993 in response to hunter concerns about overcrowding and declining buck to doe ratios. In 1994, caps on deer and elk permits were imposed to promote recovery of sagging populations statewide. How will things look in 1995? The question nags DWR wildlife managers, regional wildlife advisory councils and big game board members. Sportsmen across the state registered complaints about the complexity of the proclamation and application process. No allowance for group hunts raised the hackles of re-app- ly As of Aug. 17, 65 archery and 1,738 rifle deer permits remained for southeastern Utah, which includes Carbon, Emery, Grand, San Juan many families and traditional hunting parties. Trophy hunters insisted that restrictions didnt go far enough. Hunting conservatives favored a total closure of the hunt for years to come. What to do? Utah has a potpourri of hunting interests. Subsistence hunters go out to fill the freezer. Trophy hunters want a big rack or nothing at all. Purist favor a specialized hunting method andor quality outdoor experience. Social hunters use the season as the perfect excuse for getting out with the boys. However hunting regulations are crafted for 1995, you can bet there v 'M be a lot of disappointment. Since the hunt means something diffe- rent to every sportsman, its a given that any statewide regulation will draw fire from almost every direction. On Sept. 13, the southeast Regional Wildlife Advisory Council meets to discuss big game management philosophy and strategy. The meeting is open to the public, and convenes at the John Wesley Powell River Museum in Green River at 6.30 p.m. Recommendations from regional concils will be reviewed by the Board of Big Game Control during development of 1995 big game rules in March and April.

Football, football, football, football. It's here. It's great. I'm excited. See you at the game. ' Ferron Fish Creek (Lower) This stretch of water received 9,000 catchable brown trout in June.
