Show WEEKLY REFLEX DAVIS NEWS JOURNAL, NORTH DAVIS LEADER, APRIL 1, 1981 HIM I HD uUlllUll PCMTQAI Udl I The Central Jr. High School Science Fair was held last Thursday and Friday. Stu- dents from the seventh, eighth and ninth grades participated. Science fair projects filled the entire space of the girls gym and prize winner were announced at a special PTA meeting held Thursday After a second place in the race last year, Davis Highs Spencer DeGraw returns as someone to reckon with. He will be in the 100 meter lineup this weekend at Clearfield during the Davis District Track and Field 3-- DeGRAW COULD TAKE IT ALL By KEITH DUNCAN Look out Ben Lomond, the Darts want a little revenge! DAMS, HO was edged by the Scots by four extra points last season, would like to bring the Region Four championship back to Kaysville before they finally bow out of competition and enter the ranks next season. Coach Tom Packer enters his second season as the Dart track and field coach and he appears confident about his team's chances to overthrow the Scotties. V WE HAVENT anything this year, we didn't have last year, but our returners do have the experience that could carry us." said Packer. Again the Scots look like the team to beat w ith Logan coming in as the "big sleeper." THE 110 high hurdles will have senior Kyle Sprage as the mainstay. He was sixth last year in the same race in region. Alan Joves. Bruce Drvsdale and Sprage will all compete in the 330 hurdles race. DAVIS SPRINTER, Spencer DeGraw , will certainly create some excitement in the (X) meter run. "He is a competitor and we look for him to do some big things for us. said Packer. DeGraw returns this season after a second place in state last year. Steve Birch and Tim Allen will also run the 100 meter race. TEN DARTS seemed bunched up in the 800 meter run w ith no apparent leader at this point in the season. Graduated is the Dart's Reed Newman who claimed the region title and lost it in the state run. It appears at least two seniors, Dave Bernard and Todd Hilton should emerge in the 8(H) w ith junior Carlos Shije having a competitive chance too. CH AD JONES is definitely a bright spot in the Davis track lineup. This 1600 and 3200 meter man should do well in either race and the relays he will run. Though he is still coming off an injury, he should be in top form come region title time. Davis was dealt a serious blow when Robert Steed, a serious contender in the shot put and discus, pulled some cartilages on his knee during the wrestling season. Coach Packer doesn't expect him back until region and state, but it could be too late by then. WITH THE loss of Steed. Robert Norberg appears to be the Dart's top weight man. The discus will have Jim Pitts and Mike Evans going head to head. Another bright spot is the long jump and the high jump. Keith Ferrin. a junior, is capable of jumping 21 feet and area becould be in the fore the curtain finally closes. HIGH JUMPER, Jim Smith has been a consistent 6-- 4 jumper. Coach Packer claims he in practice has got up to jumps. He placed seventh in the Idaho Simplot games with a jump and was second at the BYU Indoor Invitational with a 4 mark. Norberg has the Davis edge in the javelin and Drew Olsen appears to be the Dart's top pole vaulter. THE 400 meter run could be dominated by Shije if he real 6-- 8 THE 200 meter run will be dominated by the same people that run the 100 meter with the addition of Lyle Black, a junior. Sprage. along with three of the Dait's sprinters, could team to make the 400 meter relay an exciting one and a winning one at that. 6-- 2 6-- 100-met- izes his potential. The other relay squads are a mystery to Coach Packer until the season begins. "The big thing about relays is that they can be the races that win or lose the meet for you. Coaches use a little strategy in them, their oppotrying to nent, said Packer. out-gue- OVERALL, THE Darts are lacking the depth theyve had in years past, but if the talent comes through, they could very well give the Scotties a run for their money. Coach Packer, before coming to Davis, was involved in everything from spa management to real estate, and says now he is glad where he is. evening.

Kaysville Has Adopted A Shade Tree Ordinance The Kaysville Shade Tree Commission is desirous to be of service to the community. With spring approaching and people eager to do their planting and landscaping, the commission encourages them to seek help in selecting the appropriate trees to plant on public streets and public property or on their owm property if they need help. KAYSVILLE has adopted a Shade Tree Ordinance with approved species for street planting along the public streets or on public property. The regulations require that trees be planted no closer than 30 feet to a corner or 10 feet to a driveway, utility pole or fire hydrant. Once you have decided to plant a tree, consider its purchase as a long term investment. Most trees are sold in containers. They are easier to transplant successfully than bare root stock Look for a straight, sturdy trunk, good shape, full buds and undamaged bark. Avoid circling roots, dried out branches and weak steams. DIG A hole about twice the diameter of the container and about one inch less than its depth. Assure good drainage and root growth by scoring the sides of the hole. Remove turf to leave a 30 inch circle of bare earth around the tree. Have the nurseryman cut the container on two sides for easy removal of the tree. Cut or pull away any circling or matted roots. Shorten roots so that they are no longer than the width of the hole. Set the tree carefully into the hole, adding organic material to poor soil, and making sure there are no an pockets. Water deeply and thoroughly If the trunk seems weak and unable to support its leafy crown, stake the tree with two wood or metal stakes driven well into the solid ground. Tie loosely with ny lon webbing or rubber hose, never bare wire. Prune only broken branches or those attached to the tree in a crotch at planting time. POLR PROTECTIVE mulch, such as wood chips, around the base of the tree to hold the water. The grassless area will reduce the likelihood of damage from your lawn mower. A small wall or fence around the base can help fend off dogs, car doors, and the lawn mower. Check to see that the stake ties are not damaging the trunk, and remove them as soon as the tree can support itself. THERE IS something about being associated with kids and seeing them progress, being the part of their successes," he said. Packer once played football at Davis High School and in fact was the one who scored the only touchdown in the 1965 state championship game that Davis claimed under coaching direction of Gerald Purdy. Purdy is now a vice principal at the same school. TREES PLANTED behind the sidewalk, particularly if there are no overhead wires, will require little or no pruning for size control of either top or of the roots. With the planting of trees, roots will be less restricted and further removed from damage from salt used on the sidew alks for ice control of streets. The likelihood of damage by automobiles and compaction is further reduced. Trees should never be planted in strips less than five feet wide. After the tree has become established, prune it when it is dormant to develop a strong and attractive limb structure. Remove suckers and low branches. competing trunks, overly long or weak branches, and damaged or diseased branches. Make cuts just above a bud or flush with the trunk when removing the entire branch. off-stre- PACKER THEN went on to play J.C. ball at Mesa Jr. College and also played with the Weber State Wildcats. Completes Training Army Pvt. Adalberto Flores, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolfo Flores, 1055 W. Antelope, Layton, has completed basic training at Fort Jackson. S.Car. HEAVY LIMBS should be cut in three steps to avoid splitting the wood and stripping the bark. Use sharp tools. During the first growth season. water the tree thoroughly days so that it can every become well established. Do not over water. Watch for damage. If a problem develops consult a nursery man or a local agricultural extension horticulturist for proper treatment procedures. DURING THE training, students receive instruction in drill and ceremonies, weapons, map reading, tactics, military courtesy, military justice, first aid and Army history and traditions. 4-- 8 SOCCER AND SNOW DONT MIX By KEITH DUNCAN Its that time of year again, when little y oungsters can't go to bed without wearing their reversible soccer tops and moms and dads all over the county raid the sporting goods shops for an economical pairof soccer shoes. SOME unexpected white stuff, called snow . w asn't w hat hundreds of soccer hopefuls were counting on last week. Instead of kicking off another wild season of ball play, these youngsters and their coaches had to settle for a soccer game . "Atari or Odessey style while the snow covered their playing fields outside. "It was frustrating for the snow to come when it did." said Richard Flint of West r Point, the father to a soccer hopeful. "1 wish Chad could have at least got one game in to release some of the first-yea- excitement." ART WINNERS Placing at the top in Central Junior High Science Fair competition were Todd Lomax- left- Kari Biddulph, Russell Asplund, Shane Charlesworth and John Tremonte; front, Craig Stevens and Jason Hansen.

He and his teammates have had one practice before the snow came to town. He is just one of hundreds of youngsters straining at the bit to get the ball rolling. seems to attract in a big kind of way. This writer still hasn't pinned down the reason why thousands of kids hit the playing fields come springtime. Springing themselves from w inter boredom has something to do with it I'm sure. THE SMALLER fellows, your miniature rookies, don't have the artistic kicks and moves as their older brothers do. but most would have to agree they're the most fun to watch. It doesn't quite matter where the goal posts are. it's a matter of w ho can kick the ball the farthest in whatever direction. And I suppose that is what they have a coach for. Chad Flint, age 5. the son of Richard and Debra Flint of West Point, hasn't been more excited about something since he first learned of Santa Claus. I was just one tof many) who he happened to talk with that got an invitation to his soccer game. Grandma Flint didn't even, get left out. THE DAY Chad's coach came to the house to give Chad his jersey for the season, he wore it around the house like he was the only soccer player in the world. He even wanted to sleep in it." Mrs. Flint said. Youth soccer administra- tors around Davis County seemed pleased with the enthusiasm that the sport has roused. Soccer officials and the referees are hav ing a hey day. at least for the moment, Ouch! because parents just don't Tourist: What's the speed limit through this quaint tow n '.
