Time after time they came from behind to win. Pleasant Grove could have easily knocked us out of the tournament the second day. No matter if you call it luck or guts those kids hung in there and won, he added. By DAVE WIGHAM In the world of sports theres a certain thing that is referred to as Paying Your Dues. This includes taking your losses, dealing with nagging injuries to star players, dropping all those one run games and always drawing the top ranked team in the opening round. Phil Olsen never said his club was fancy. They played good fundamental baseball which is sometimes hard to find on the high school level. They executed the bunts, hit the runs and steals as well as anyone. This comes about from good coaching and hard work at practice. Their defense was solid and made clubs earn their runs. TRUTH IS that prior to this year his clubs had only won a grand total of two games in a state tournament. Most years it was two games and wait until next year for him. Things changed this year as Phil took a group of WHEN THE Braves won the first place trophy Phil had three sophomores and six juniors on the field. Its no wonder that most folks were saying wait until next year. When all is said and done, though, Phil is the first to admit that in order to win a state crown that thing called luck has to be on your side. Dont get me wrong, the Braves won the title fair and square but Lady Luck was certainly on the coaches shoulder. PHIL SURROUNDED himself this year with a couple of coaches that were a tremendous help to him. Stan Buccannon handled the junior varsity side and coached at first for Phil while Steve Hilton worked magic with his pitchers. But one man had to make the decisions. Some werent too popular at the time but he was only thinking of the team at the time. At times the coach IM NOT even sure that was the best team, talent wise, that Ive had at the school, but one thing is that FOR TWELVE years Phil has been the coach at Bountiful for the baseball program and he has paid his dues. No one deserved a state title more than him. well-round- sea- KEEP THE fish in water as much as possible. A fish is many times heavier out of water and may pound itself fatally if allowed to flop on the beach or rocks. A few inches of water acts as a protective cusion. Gentleness in handling is essential. Keep fingers out of the gills. Do not squeeze small fish. They can be lifted and held easily by the lower lip, just cant please everyone. we really didn't have a weakness. In past years we have had super talent in some spots and been terrible and balanced at others. We were just this year, noted Phil. Sure luck has something to do with it but these kids didnt know how or when to quit and thats general fishing STATEW IDE ON May 30th and 31st the daily and possession limit for trout will be six fish, instead of the eight fish limit which will resume June 1st. In addition to this major change, all rivers and streams open to angling will have a possession limit that shall not include more than two fish exceeding 13 inches in total size length. With a limit fishermen may have to release some fish. By following a few simple rules, these released fish will live to be caught again. Time is important. A fish out of water is suffocating and cannot live for more than three or four minutes because of brain damage due to oxygen loss. TO SAY THAT Phil Olsen has paid his dues in getting this state crown would be an understatement. He has seen good talented clubs fold under pressure. He has seen good clubs get knocked off by some awesome sides. And he has seen some of his clubs literally give away ballgames. Phil works hard with his kids, and he knows his baseball. Off the field his players enjoy him, game time he gets a little tense and yells a lot but then he settles down. players that was suppose to be good next year into the state affair and came away as the champions. Not only did they win more than two games, the schools grand total under Phil, but they did it in a fighting manner. 1981 throughout the state on May 30th. Before that date arrives fishermen should take some extra time to read the 1981 Fishing Regulations which are obtainable at any place hunting and fishing licenses are sold. There are many major changes that will affect the fishermen and it may prevent an unpleasant experience of a citation if these rules are reviewed before setting out to fish. SOME SAY the Braves were lucky to win the championship game since they only had two hits on the night and came up with seven runs. The thing to remember though is that they got their bats on the ball to hit those ground balls and made things happen. It would have been so easy for them to have settled for second place this year and gone for the biggie next year but they didnt. IF INDEED you believe in this dues thing then you . would have to agree that no one has paid more dues and deserved a state title more than Phil Olsen of Bountiful High. Going into this years state tournament the Braves had struggled to get into the event. More times than not Phil saw his club fall out of the region race or lose in a playoff for a final state berth. Even when the Braves did get into the double elimination affair they didnt fair to well. .

The hook will dissolve away in a few months How To Get Firewood There will be a variety of areas open to firewood gatherand ing of the Wasatch-Cach- e Uinta National Forests and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands again this summer. Some areas contain considerable amounts of wood while in others, especially those close to population centers, wood is harder to locate and often lies farther from ready access points. THE NATIONAL Forests and BLM have seen a dramatic d increase in request for during the past several years. Both agencies project the demand to continue to increase this summer. Firewood gathering is an activity which provides family recreation as well as a source of heating. As it becomes necessary to drive greater distances to areas where wood is more plentiful, the recreation experience may prove to be more important than the savings in heating costs. WHAT FOLLOWS are the specific firewood gathering programs for the Salt Lake District of the BLM, the Uinta fuel-woo- National Forest and the National Wasatch-Cach- e Forest. West Desert Cooperative Area ( BLM & Forest Service): Under a new policy, a com- bined fuelwood program in the West Desert Cooperative Area will be open to fuelwood 16. gathering from May The area consists of the Stans-bur- y Unit of the Wasatch National Forest, the Vernon Unit of the Uinta National Forest, and Pony Express Management Area of BLM. UNDER THE new program, one permit will allow the permit holder to gather a total of three cords of wood on any of the three units, regardless of the agency involved. Specific locations within the West Desert Cooperative Area will be designated for fuelwood gathering. The required free-us- e permits and location maps will be available at all offices of both BLM and the Forest Service. The West Desert Coopera- tive Area contains large amounts of wood which should meet public need for several years. Some areas will be de- signated where both dead wood and live juniper may be obtained while other areas will be designated for dead wood only. THE OBJECTIVE in plan- ning each firewood area will be to provide benefits to a variety of resources, such as wildlife d habitat and rangeland. will be made available to the extent practical in all types of projects in order to meet a greater share of our energy requirements.

The security measure was organized in coordination with public are repulsed by the sight of paper sacks, beer and pop cans, and other litter. Many sections of favorite waters have been permanently closed to fishermen access because litter was carelessly discarded. THE PROPER thing to do is carry out all litter when going ANOTHER important con- cern to landowners is land posted closed to fishing. It is illegal for the public to wade up streams or fish streams that are posted no trespassing and it is a Classs B misdemeanor to enter upon such posted land without permission from the owner. Each fishing regulation has important information about trespassing laws. All major reservoirs in the Northern Region of the state appear to be about equal for expected fishing success and Davis Man Named there are no exceptional or best waters this year with which to recommend fishermen. Fishermen should do well on most waters as in the past. Conditions and success for stream and creek fishing are largely dependent on runoff conditions and weather the area has had. Also, whether or not the area has been stocked with fish yet. A complete fishing forecast for the entire state will be published in the next issue of Utah Wildlife News. FISHERMEN are encouraged to fish Pineview Reservoir due to possible low water levels later in the year which will cause loss of many trout. These trout should be caught by fishermen instead of allowed to waste. Fishermen will find many areas access-abl- e this year that were not last year due to lighter snow pack conditions.

MICKELSEN FARMINGTON The Officers Association of Hill AFB and the Wahsatch Shooters signed a contract last week allowing the officers organization to operate a concessions booth at the Davis County rifle and pistol range near Fruit Heights. The one year contract says: DURING those hours when the shooting range is open, the NCOA agrees to operate a concessions facility. The Wahsatch Shooters Association will have no responsibility for any accidents or injuries connected with the operation. THE NCOA is resposible for the maintenance and cleanup of the conces sions facility. According to Alan Aoki, WSA vice president, cold and hot drinks will be available at the concessions booth for visitors to the range. THE CONTRACT was approved Tuesday by the county commission, based on a recommendation by the county attorney. Other improvements planned for the range this year are: a telephone and answering service; a power generator; additional landscaping, including the installation of several trees; soundproofing for the range facility. The commission approved funding for the telephone answering service after WSA president Ladean Sorenson complained she was unable to remain at home long enough during the day to answer all incoming calls pertaining to the range. She estimated the cost of the answering machine at $159. THE WSA is also finalizing plans with the army reserve to dynamite several large boulders near the range to allow more room for future expansion. A contract for the work has been submitted to the county commission and county attorney. The contract provides that: (I) Responsibility for the construction work will not compete with the civilian labor force; (2) Davis County will be responsible for obtaining all licenses and permits for the work; (3) Davis County agrees to protect the army reserve unit against any liability claims while the project is being completed; (4) the army reserve may terminate the contract agreement at any time. COM. ERNEST Eberhard said the county has $1.5 million in liability insurance available for the project. Mr. Aoki also requested approval of funding for a power generator. He said the generator is needed to light the facility for nighttime work parties, which he said often go until 9 or 10 p.m. He estimated the cost at between $500-60"Its your money," Com. Harry B. Gerlach said. ASKED ABOUT the status of the shooting range budget, Mr. Aoki predicted that once the final construction projects are completed, the remaining money should be enough to operate the facilities. Approximately $4885 remains in the WSA budget, Aoki said. |
