Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL. MAY 31. 1979 Yard & Garden Graduating Top Notch Athletes By DAVE WIGHAM Another high school year has come and gone. That means different things to different folks. To this reporter h it means the graduating of some athletes. top-notc- IT ALSO means time to recognize those people who have felt through the year that this paper has overlooked their talents. Time after time I receive letters concerning the lack of coverage in one sport or another, or that we spend too much ink on certain people and not on others. True in football linemen do most of the work while the backs get the glory. In basketball the people who put the ball in the hoop get noticed while those who set them up get almost nothing. What the above mentioned people get is the satisfaction of a job well done. To all those linemen who blocked and all those basketball players who passed to the open man, I salute you. IT TAKES A rare breed of youngsters in todays world to play high school sports for the enjoyment and that these athletes have. Those who are in it for the headlines are a long way off base in their thinking. The type who goes out and plays simply to read his name in some paper or to get a date with the cheerleader is missing the boat somewhere along the way. The guys that simply go about their business, doing their job are the real winners in high school sports. TO ALL THE parents who have felt I was biased in some of my writing concerning, not only which athletes I wrote about, but also which high schools I wrote about: I try to cover all of them, I have friends at all of them, both coaching and participating. Consider the problem of one reporter trying to cover all six high schools in the area. It gets tough, especially when all of them seem to schedule their games at the same time. ' TO THOSE parents who have read the wrong first name on their son or daughter, I salute you. In this matter I cant take full credit, the coaches give me most of their names. The biggest winners of all are those parents and players who simply go about their business and get a feeling of accomplishment from just playing or supporting and not complaining about what or about who is in print. I CAN ONLY do my best. I realize that Ive stepped on a few toes and maybe hurt some feelings, but to coin a popular phrase, You can please some of the people some of the time, but you cant please all the people all the time. Brown Spots On Lawns mgion Kssiita - BOUNTIFUL Post season honors continue to pour in for local athletes with the naming of the clubs in two regions for baseball. All six area high school clubs placed at least one player on the elite squads. IN REGION One the selection committee simply picked two players at each position and named them to the club without picking a first and second team. Two local athletes were selected as catchers, Doug Hamblin of Clearfield and Kerry Roberts of Layton were chosen the top receivers in the league. Doug was a hardhitting catcher for the Falcons while Kerry has been a main cog in the Lancer system for several years. BRIAN SKIDMORE of Viewmont and Brooks Hicks of Clearfield were named at first base. Brian provided some power for the Vikes while Brooks was a consistent hitter and fielder. Nate Herzog of Roy and Jim Porter of Bonneville held down the spots at second. Shortstop was no surprise with Baline Benard of Bountiful and Buzz Neilsen of Viewmont earning the honors. Benard was an performer for the Braves in baseball and Buzz came on strong at the end of the year both in fielding and hitting. Re-Ro- of Your Home Now!!

However, these diseases require free mois- ture to grow and develop, and under Utah conditions with proper watering this moisture is generally not present. Lawn disease is rare in this area so beware of who diagnose lawn disease and recommend expensive fungicides. Lawn insects such as bill bugs, and white grubs may cause brown areas. With these insects, the roots have been eaten and the turf can be readily lifted out. Insecticide treatments of Diazinon or Dursban will control this The insecticide must be watered into the lawn root zone. Seeing a few moths flutter over the lawn is not an indication of lawn insect problems. Question: I have heard that the insecticide Sevin is highly toxic to bees. Is this true? Answer: That is correct. While many insecticides kill bees very quickly the chemical Sevin reacts rather slowly, allowing the honey bee to return to the hive. The hive is contaminated and extensive damage may result. Sevin must never be used on or around plants in bloom. IF YOU have a question for this column, address it to Yard N Garden, P.O.
