The under 13 through 18 programs are coed. To provide younger recreation players with more time on the field, and a greater opportunity to improve their skills, teams from the Under Five to Under 12 brackets take part in what are railed small sided games. These contests are conducted on smaller fields with smaller goals and fewer players.

The program was cited by a national recreation organization because of its uniqueness and impact, says Dave Thomas. Layton Recreation director. They (national officials) were amazed we had such a program. Recreation is everything. It's not just sports or a class! he said.

I think its a need that residents have, its an outlet. Sometimes people run around too much trying to do it all, Neville said. In sports competition, the atmosphere isn't always very nice. It ran get ugly. Its a leisure outlet, people ran relax, don't have to worry about anything. Most of the events are free. We're happy to do an activity, possibly have it be an introduction for a family who then may pursue it on their own lateif Thomas said. This is a way for a family to have entertainment, once a month, for a cost of next to nothing (or free), Neville said. It's also a way to expose families to a variety of inexpensive activities. Then a family who at least has had the experience of it, ran go from there, Thomas said.

This is the first time the program's been started in Davis County, however, and things have been slow thus far. Ericksons got a long way to go before she reaches her goal of collecting at least 100 pairs of soccer cleats. It's really early, and nobody has really heard of it, Erickson said. However, she does have a specific plan in mind to collect all of the used equipment. Large donation bins ran be found at the Dicks Grocery Stores located in Bountiful and Centerville. In addition, Erickson has been talking to teammates, other players at soccer camps and even different schools to see of they will be able to help. I like getting involved and helping people, she said. It's helped to teach me many things both on and off the field. Erickson said the most important thing soccer has taught her is hard work, which she applies on the field and in the classroom. Her most important lesson came in the fifth grade, when she was cut from her AAA team. I wanted to But I worked harder, and it showed me that anything is possible! And, in a nutshell, thats the reason Erickson decided to start the passback program right here in Davis County-t- o give back to the sport. She was looking for some kind of service thing to do, and she thought this was perfect, said her mom Kathy. She's learned a lot of things from soccer. It's been a very good thing for her!

Combustion temperature in the engine cylinders may reach 4,000 degrees or higher, and the cylinder walls should not get hotter than 500 degrees E Higher temperatures cause engine oil to lose its ability to lubricate, and can cause damage to other engine parts. To prevent overheating, the cooling system removed excess heat from the engine. The cooling system also helps bring the engine up to normal temperature as quickly as possible. Cooling System Troubles: Three cooling-systetroubles are coolant leaks, slow warm-u- p and engine overheating. Low coolant is a common cause of engine overheating. If overheating is detected early and the engine is shut off immediately, little damage may occur. m I- - h I :! I some part of the engine. Having to add coolant frequently and white exhaust smoke are indicators of an internal leak. Internal and External Leaks Two indicators of coolant leakage are the need for frequently adding coolant and visible stains at the point of leakage. Antifreeze has a distinct color. It is colored because the dye has been shown to slow external leaks. Coolant leaks can be either external or internal. Flushing the Cooling System Service Flushing the cooling system can remove the contaminated coolant, rust, scale and sediment that remain after the coolant is drained. Special equipment can quickly empty and refill the cooling systems and check for leaks. Few drivers perform a daily or frequent check of engine oil or coolant levels. It is important to have your cooling system working properly. External leaks can be from the hoses, or hose connections, the heater or radiator core, engine core plugs and water-pum- p shaft seals. Internal leaks cannot be seen. They occur when the coolant seeps into Ralph Barlow is owner of Barlow Automotive in Bountiful.
