The Institute t reports conservation officers make Bliss 6,500 vm Several weeks ago this corner championed a letter from the head man of the Northern Utah Officials Association. The letter warned of fan and coach 'hostility toward those who toot the whistle. It cautioned that the Northern "Utah Officials were fed up with crowd reaction on and off the field. The man has a point. We including fans, coaches and players, can be and are at times, abusive. We often vent our frustrations of losing on those whose ;job it is to see that the game is played on equal terms. I especially alerted, in my article, the coaches of Bonneville, Ben Lomond, Clearfield, Roy and Weber High Schools to take note because we could lose the services of our officials. Since then I have received some feedback from some high school coaches and they have a side to be told. t One coach noted that the official is doing his job on a part-tim- e basis. During the week he is a school teacher or a truck driver or he pushes a pencil in an office, but on Friday night, he dons a striped shirt and earns $25 for two hours of running and making decisions of great import. Sure he has to be trained for the job, continued the coach. I know 1 officiated for five years myself. But, I am talking about the official who is only there to make his skins and go home. We coaches spend many hours working on twenty-fiv- e offensive and defensive patterns, he said, and then some Eager Beaver comes along and kills us with that whistle. A few bad calls takes everything out of those kids. We lose momentum, and sometimes the ball game. The coach still had more - Once in a while we luck out with a whistler who thinks he is God, as he walks on the field or the ball court. Hes not about to take nothing from nobody. Hes in charge and wants the world to know it. Sure, continued the coach, we want him to take charge, if he is capable, but we want to be able to talk about questionable decisions without being slapped with a T (technical foul) he said. These coaches may have a point. They do work hard, and they do take defeat hard. Everyone knows that games can be determined, or at least turned around by a few bad calls, but those coaches know better than anyone else that an official is human. He does make mistakes. He tries to be objective. He is there to do a job for the good of the game. We need our officials, but even that has some words that should be spoken. The Fraternity of Officials isnt the easiest group to become a part of. There are quite a number on the outside looking in. Maybe the Northern Utah Association of Officials should take a hard look at its soiled or otherwise neglected linen. If someone isnt doing the job, give somebody else a chance to feel the wrath of coaches and fans and blow the whistle. We need officials good officials. Before we condemn them for the calls should try being more objective even if it hurts. we they make, maybe . side-liner- s, 5 on the Roy High remained unbeaten by slipping past Clearfield Falcons home court. The Royals took an early lead in the first quarter 10-Roy never trailed the Falcons in the first half. Midway through the third quarter Roy piled up a 13 point lead. The Falcons never let down as they picked away at the Royals lead. Roy with three minutes to go went into a four corner stall, which was a big mistake as Roy turned the ball over four times to let Clearfield back into the game. But the Royals went on to win Jim McMahon led the Royals with 12 points, while John Garner had 11 and Jeff Scholtec 10 points for Roy, now 46-4- 46-4- 5. 5-- 0.

Utahs Wildlife Resources Law Enforcement Chief, John Nagel, said he feels the States wildlife law enforcement program continues to be a strong, progressive effort. There is always need for continuing improvement in any law an etfort to inform wildlife agencies about changes, progress and needs of individual and regional law enforcement programs. In the last four years the number of wildlife officers in the nation grew by some 630. Law enforcement budgets increased by some $50 million, due primarily to inflation, according to data collected in the study. Other improvements were noted by the report.
