Ogden will host the first archery qualifiers for the Youth Olympic Games in July of 2009, according to the International Archery Federation.

The 2009 Youth Archery World Championships is expected to bring more than 450 athletes between the ages of 14 and 18 from more than 50 different countries to compete for titles and Olympic spots.

The organizing committee will be headed up by Greg Easton and Denise Parker, a three-time three time Olympian and the youngest medalist in the Seoul Olympics in 1988.

The competition will be held at Weber State University.

FISHING REGULATIONS

Anglers who would like to see changes in Utah's fishing regulations have until June 4 to voice their opinions.

"2009 is still a long way ways off, but our biologists need time to determine how practical and biologically sound each idea is," said Drew Cushing, warm water sport fisheries coordinator for the DWR.

"They would like to receive your ideas before June 4. Then they'll do the work needed to decide which ideas will work."

The DWR will present its final recommendations to the public in September.

There are three ways to submit ideas:

• E-mail to DWRComment@utah.gov.

• Mail ideas to Sport Fisheries Coordinator, Division of Wildlife Resources, Box 146301, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6301.

• Attend an upcoming Regional Advisory Council meeting.

The meetings will be:

May 27 — Southern Region at 7 p.m. at Cross Hollows Intermediate School, 2215 W. Royal Hunte Drive Dr. in Cedar City.
