Show Page Six - The Pyramid - August 18, 1999 Enlistees USU gives tips see rise for tomato season in benefits Hawks prepare to defend region crown MT. PLEASAN- T- August 9, was the first day allowed for full contact football practice at a Utah high school and the North Sanpete Hawks were so eager to begin defense of their Region 8 crown that they held practice at 12:01 a.m. on that day. They will take that excitement in the annual into a final tune-u- p Red and White scrimmage at Hawk Stadium this Friday evening. The freshman squad will begin at 5:00 p.m., followed by junior varsity and varsity at 7:00 junior when he threw for 1,645 yards and 16 touchdowns with a 52 percent completion average. Offensive coordinator George Lee says that the big difference this year will be that Johnson is starting the year off with confi- p.m. Even though admission to the Red and White game is free, there will be a table set up where fans will be able to become Booster Club members and receive a discount on admission prices to all boys and girls home athletic contests. The Hawks ended last years 4 season with a second round play loss to the eventual state champion Dixie Flyers. Ninth year head coach Mark Wootton feels the Hawks have a good shot at defending their region championship even though they were hit hard by graduation at the running back and linebacker positions. "Depth is our real strength this 7-- year," says Wootton. "We will be about 30 players deep on the varsity." The Hawks will try to replace last years tailback. Region 8 Most Valuable Player Garrett Olson, with senior Mark Noor-landand junior Landon Bailey. Sophomore Clint Aime will be an able back up. The new crop of linebackers vying for starting duties include Mori Barker and Logan Nielsen in the middle, Waylon Nunley and Landon Bailey on die strong side, and Josh Slade and Clinton Anderson on the weak side. Wootton is excited with the way the offensive line has shaped up, it is led by seniors Devin Shepherd at tackle and Weston Zabriskie at center and he feels that both have the talent to be All State. Senior Justin Mecham has really stepped forward this year at the other offensive tackle, according to Wootton. "Each year it seems like there is one player who stands out above the others with the desire to have a great year. This year I think that may be Mecham." Filling out the offensive line will be juniors Mori Barker and Ray Johnson at guard. Look for the Hawks to run wide and run traps a lot this year as both Barker and Johnson possess great speed for linemen and make savage outside blocks. One position that the Hawk coaching staff is not concerned is quarterback, about filling where they have last years stand out, Brett Johnson. Johnson blossomed into a phenomenal offensive threat as a er All-Regi- dence. With his All State candidate at the helm, Lee expects to "put lots of points on the board and keep our defense on the sidelines." Johnsons favorite targets will likely be tough Chris Anderson at tight end and incredibly fast Rory Johnson at wide receiver. The Hawk defensive line up is not as clear as the offense. Shepherd and Mecham will surely anchor the line from the tackle positions. Noorlander may be the only starting running back in the state that plays nose guard on defense, a position at which he excelled last year. Junior Ryan Chlarsen, with excellent speed, and sophomore Jim Cheney, who possesses a real nose for the ball, will likely be the starting defensive ends. Rory Johnson at comer and Chris Anderson at safety will be the back-fielmainstays of the defensive d. According to defensive coordinator Yori Ludvigsen, the Hawks Dlan to put the speedy Johnson LOGA- N- After nurturing tomatoes all summer long it is not uncommon to pick the first one and discover a brown, leathery, sunken area that looks like rot on the blossom end of the fruit, according to a Utah State University press release.

Participants from all over Utah joined in the activities and prizes. Almost no one escaped without a flower, tarantula, or a pig nose painted on their face. Horseback riding seemed to be fun for all who gave it a try, a king and queen contest, and horse-barrriding. Roping wooden cows seemed to be the most popular sport. After activities ended, everyone left for a turkey dinner and camping. Bags were stuffed with paper cranes, medals, sand jars, and smiley face rocks. Volunteers were rewarded by smiles and glee on faces of participants. "Its just so fun to see how much they enjoy the games and their prizes," said Kay Jensen, head of the Child Abuse Prevention Team (CAPT). Jensen volunteered herself and the team for Palisade Pals. "Its well worth the effort," she exclaimed as she finished cleaning up.

Although helmets reduce the risk of head injury, the majority of riders are still not wearing helmets or are not wearing them properly. When purchasing a helmet get a good fit. The helmet should be level on the head, not tilted back at an angle. It should touch all, around the head but not obstruct vision. It should be comfortably snug but not tight and should sit as low on the head as possible to maximize side coverage. Look for a rounded, smooth plastic outer shell. Vents provide cooling, but excessive vents mean . less foam is in contact with the head. In a crash this could concentrate force on one point of the skull. Visors on helmets can snag or shatter in a fall. If selecting a helmet with a visor, choose one that the visor will break away in the event of a crash. When wearing a helmet the length of the strap should be adjusted so that it is comfortably snug. If more than two fingers can be slid under the strap, it is too loose. If the strap cuts into the chin, it is too tight. Only from The Pyramid to Johann W. van Goethe p by Karen Biers EPHRAI- M- Bicycle helmets CLASSIFIED DISPLAY ADS has been thought it again.
