Show THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1978 PLEASANT GROVE REVIEW, PLEASANT GROVE, UTAH THURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1978 Swingers . . . Fast Pitch Clinic to Start March 2 1 st Beginning March 21st (Tuesday), in the Women's Gym at Pleasant Grove Sr. High School, the Pleasant Grove City Recreation Depar-tment will sponsor a Fast-Pitc- h Pitching clinic under the direction of Mr. Doug Hoopes, well known softball pitcher and Teacher. Doug has been responsible for the development of many of the really fine young Sof-tball pitchers throwing in the various leagues in the area. The clinic is open to either men, boys, women and girls, who have the desire and want the help and instuction to become fast-pitc- h softball pitchers. Of interest to those who en-joy Fast-Pitc- h Softball, the sport has been added to the n Games as a major sport, and every in-dication is given that it will now be added to the 1980 summer Olympics which puts Fast-Pitc- h Softball com-petition on a truly national and international level. During the past several years, with the discontinuance of youth Fast Pitch Softball programs, in some areas, the development of young pit-chers has been somewhat cur-tailed, however, with clinics such as the one Mr. Hoopes runs it is still possible for those who have the desire, to learn the trade. Doug. is making arrangements for some of the outstanding talent such as Doc Thurgood Richie Stephens, Fern Gar-dner and others to come in and demonstrate their talents, and give hints and helps to those involved. The clinic will run each Tuesday and Thursday bet-ween 7-- 9 p.m. through March and April (until the weather allows outside throwing). This gives those who want to get their arms in shape for sum-mer to get a jump on the weather. A person attending may drop in any time during the above hours, however, on those nights we have special guest, it is to their advantage to attend as much of the session as possible. The registration fee, is $3.00 for a pitcher and his catcher for those living within the zip code area of 84062 (P.G. Lin-do- n Manila) and $5.00 for those living outside of this area. Pitchers are encouraged to bring their own catchers or someone to catch for them if possible, as some of the out-side guest will be outstanding catchers who will conduct cat-chers techniques. Persons may register at the Pleasant Grove Recreation Building, 41 East 200 South 785-617- 2 or at the clinic, Tuesday March 21 or any night during the instruction period.

Vikings in State 3 --A, Play Judge Tuesday ft Provo, who has gone through the season undefeated in region play, is a strong favorite to take the 3-- championship. They won a close one with American Fork last week to finish the season undefeated, having beaten American Fork twice. However, A.F. figures to avenge both losses when they get in the tournament, and upset the Provo team. f The Pleasant Grove Vikings will play against Judge ilemorial in their first game trf the State 3-- Tourney next Tuesday. Game time is 3:30 p.m. - From all indications the Vikings should get by this fir-st game, unless they turn up flat. If you can't get to the game Tuesday afternoon, you can listen to Jim Starr and Jon Hoover on KPGR FM88. Timpview, playing pressure basketball, broke the pattern of the game in the last couple of minutes, and on the basis of last minute foul shooting beat out the Pleasant Grove Vikings 61-5- 9 last Friday night. , Neither team got ahead more than 5 points during the game and in the pressure filled last few minutes, the Vikings got too anxious and pommitted fouls in trying to forged ahead to win by two. Viking Coach Keith Allred said that it was a great high school basketball game. "My players did everything I ex-pected from them," and ad-ded that in his opinion it was Timpview's best game of the season. Atwood was red hot for the Vikings, coming up with 23 counters on 10 field goals and 3 for 4 from the charity stripe. The Timpview scoring was a little more evened out with all four starters making 10 or more for the win. Even Region Season The Vikings with the loss went to 8-- 8 for the Region Six season, ahead of what the prognosticators said they would, and earned a berth in the state 3-- tourney. This week the 4-- and tourneys are going on and next week the 3-- and 2-- tourneys will be played. ;x Boneless ROUND 1 39 1 IROAST Lb- - I II tp 149 gj ROUND STEAK .... Lb.

"Stand by to heave the long boat", or "first harpoon ready," were cries heard aboard whaling ships in the 1800's. Whales, largest of all earths creatures, were hunted relen-tlessly for oil, bone and meat. Between 1820 and 1861, trading with whaling ships produced a large portion of Hawaii's income. Supplying fresh water, yams, sweet potatoes and salt pork was a big revenue producer. Not to mention hard earned sailors wager squandered on carefree girls and demon rum. These great mammals of the deep were hunted so well then, and by modern fleets, that today most species are on the endangered list. Sighting one in the open ocean has become rare, even for deep sea fishermen. A storke of good fortune had us on board Vonn Logan's 27 foot fishing boat Saturday afternoon. He and David Mohetau, were taking the ward Weeblo's out and they asked us along. We showed no hesitation in ac-cepting the invitation. The boat was anchored 100 yards off shore, across the Kamehameha Highway from the Hauula Ward Chaple. Just a short row in a small dingy. When oil, diesel and water had been checked, the starter on the Crysler six cylinder engine was cranked. At first turn it caught, a deep throb giving evidence that she was seaworthy. "Captain" Logan easily negotiated the reef. Beneath our red and white craft, the Pacific changed shades of blue. First, with the sandy bottom reflecting sunlight, it was a bright light blue. As the water deepended, so did its color. Over the reef it was an intriguing shade of green-blue- . Then we were in the open ocean. Here was the blue of "Blue Hawaii." Exageration? Maybe, but this must be the original blue from the Creators palett. "How deep?" I asked. "Between 100 and 300 feet," was Captain Logan's authoritative answer. Even on this calm day there were eight foot swells. Undulating, they rolled blue sand dune. The spray on our faces triggered imaginations of what it might have been like on board a four masted sailing ship. 1 hen it happened. "Over there,... look," an ex-cited David Mohetau gestured. All eye's strained to the Northwest. "Thar she blows," shouted Captain Logan, the ring in his voice betraying his genuine excitement. And she really did blow. First one and then another. Two Humpback whales, each about 30 feet long. Their huge horizontal tails gracefully saluting as they disappeared under the waves. We changed course to parallel theirs, knowing they would surface again in a few minutes. When they reappeared, white guyser sprays signalling their location, we were less than 100 yards apart. For 10 minutes we followed, moving at 10 knots, until our host. Captain Logan, said it was "time to leave them alone." In those few magic momen-ts, we knew the thrill that must have been part of an era forever past. That of the whaling ships. Others Affect You? Ideas for Better Living by Dr. M. Ford McBride I was in a department store rece-ntly and needed help in finding something. The salesper-so- n was abrupt and not very the person acting the way he is. An objective approach will help us to act instead of react to bad behavior. Everyone Needs to Belong Think for a minute what life would be like without people to talk to, laugh with or do things for. It is frightening to contemplate how shallow and meaningless our lives would be without people. The importance of other people in our daily lives can't be over emphasized. Man has the desire and the psychological need to belong to someone or something. Even young children express their need for identification and belonging. My little girl, Lisa, said to me the other day that when her friends came by to play, it made her hap- - py- - Man is not complete emotionally unless he belongs. The incidence of emotional illness is far higher among the lonely and frien-dless. Psychological research shows that one of the causes of anxiety is fear of not belonging. To be part of a group or accepted by others is a concise way of explaining man's behavior. Generally, the more con-cerned one is for others, the better adjusted he is as an individual. The capacity to give and take is learned in the framework of interper-sonal relations. Positive, helpful. It didn't take me long to become irritated with her behavior. After I left the store, I was upset and the rest of the day was affected. Obviously, I allowed the salesperson to influence how I acted and felt. It's not easy to be unaffected by people around us. Unfortunately, bad behavior is usually con-tagious. A few years ago, I had oc-casion to work closely with an individual who usually didn't allow himself to be negatively affected by other people's bad behavior. He knew where he stood with people. In talking to him about this, he explained that he tried to look at the why of behavior and not the what. In other words, he attempted to understand why the in-dividual was acting the way he was. This helped him put the bad behavior in perspec-tive and deal with the in-dividual in a more rational and mature way. A similar approach can be used with our children. All parents have had the ex-perience of being at the end of their ropes with unruly and noisy children. When children are involved in inappropriate behavior an idea is to stop and discern the why. Maybe the child is hungry and bored with what he is doing. He may not be feeling well. He may not be receiving enough constructive attention. By discerning the why of a child's behavior, we learn to know our children. We're also in a better position to make changes that help improve a child's behavior. Often punishment based on behavior only with no con-sideration of why the child is reacting the way he is is tem-porary and not lasting. Recently a patient of mine told me that when he looks at the motives behind an in-dividual's behavior he is less critical and more understan-ding. He went on to say the communication is more open and honest. During the week, try and exercise greater objectivity in dealing with friends and family members. Be sen-sitive. Ask yourself why is growth promoting per-sonality characteristics are learned from others. The most important aspect of maintaining productive contact with people is that it enables us to feel better about ourselves. Feeling positively about ourselves helps us handle problems more effectively because we tend to put things in perspec-tive and not blow problem situations out of proportion. An important goal for parents is to encourage their children to develop positive interpersonal skills so their need to belong and be with others won't be frustrated. Remember, belonging not only keeps us together as a human family, but en-courages emotional growth and good will.

Ford McBride, 1161 East 300 North, Provo, Utah PADDLE TIRE CLASS Wayne Hansen also gets trophy from Ray. Truck name 'Misfit'. RBI 'i I .sksiHH i JwyoP MODIFIED 12 TON Pete Campbell gets trophy from Ray Sweat for winning class. Drag Racing Weekly Event at Roundabout Raceway in P. G. Drag Racing here in PI. Grove, Drag racing capitol of the western world. It was wet and muddy at the dragstrip last weekend, which didn't seem to slow the racers down at all. Ron Christen's 1st visit to the strip paid off with a win a and trophy in the Vi ton stock class. Ron and his big black dodge are really a win-ning combination, Chuck Elmer in his Jeep came in second. Our 'old Pro' Pete Cam-pbell showed off his talents real well as he crossed the Line ahead of Wayne Hansen for the win in the ' ton modified class. Ron Christen's 'beginner's luck' held out in the Class Eliminator race as he put the peddle to the metal for his second win of the day. Have Scott was right on his heels for second. Phyliss Peterson had to borrow a truck to compete in the Powder Puff this week. But it proved to be a wise move as she beat out Charlotte Fillmore for the win. Wayne Hansen figured it was about time to get serious when it came time for the Paddle Tire Class. So him and his big grey Ford named (Misfit) showed everyone what skill and lots of know how can do as he beat Warren Johnson and his long wheel base Chevy. 2 out of 3 times for the win and trophy. When they called for the top eliminator class, Wayne and his Ford were right there. He said its the first week his truck has made it to this rac. So 'ook advantage of his luck and literally flew across the line for his second win of the day. Only 5 more weeks of Drag Racing left. This track was built by the city street dept. for the pur-pose of keeping the four wheel drives and dune buggies off the foothills. It gives them a place to go and let off steam-mak- e a little noise and play in the mud. The money collected at the gate goes for trophys. and any left over will go towards improvements on the Round-Abou- t Race Track for the summer program. This fun-ction is self supporting and costs the city nothing it is run under the recreation program. Frank Mills is the councilman in charge of it. This is just one more function our city has for our en-joyment. |
