Youth hunting day Sept. 29 A unique chance to introduce young people to waterfowl hunting awaits Sept 29, as Utah holds its annual Youth Hunting Dqy. Holding this day is important to the ftiture of waterfowl hunting, and the ftiture ofwetlands conservation, says Tom Aldrich, waterfowl coordinator for the Division of Wildlife Resources. The number ofyoungpeople participating in all types of hunting has declined in recent years and if that trend continues, the Ainding hunters provide for wetlands conservation will also decline. Letting youths hunt water-fow- l, without all the adult hunters out there at the same time and when waterfowl numbers are high, is a great way to get them interested and excited about waterfowl hunting, Aldrich says. And, since adults cant hunt that day, it gives sdults more time to teach youths good hunting skills, safety and eth- . ' ICS. All of the states waterfowl management areas, and the Bear River Migratory Bird Reflige, will be open to youth hunters on Sept 29. Tohi that day, youths must a Hunter be 12- - to Education safety course graduate; possess a small game or combination license; and be accompanied by their parent or an adult whos at least 21 years of age or older. Gay and Florence Turnbo w went to mittee. About 10 to 20 percent of the tickets the district will receive are for k students, this will also be a determining factor in ticket distribution. Rather than receiving tickets to several Olympic events the district is expecting to receive tickets to one or two events. Their plan is to take half ofthe students to one event and half to another. For every 20 students the district takes to the Olympics they are required to have one adult. SLOC has purchased student tickets for every type of event, including the openingand closing ceremonies. However, students will not attend big ticket items such as the figure skating final, said Judy Stanfield, education director for SLOC. The bulk of the tickets are for preliminary competitions. The funds will allow for about 25 chilpercent ofthe states school-ag- e dren to see an Olympic event first hand. The idea of attending Olympic venues is not altogether new ito dis- trict students who liave attended and Paralympic events and participated in SLOC Olympic programs over the last three years. Last March, Thompson Schools entire student body and staff attended the Snow BoardingWorid Cup. Opportunities were not limited to older students either. First, 2nd and 3rd grade students from East Elementary have attended hockey events for the last two years. They also attended ice skating this year.
