GATHERUM 773-497- 6 THE VARIOUS types of change in the proclamation application procedure this year involves the mail in only method of submitting the completed application. All completed applications must be mailed to the address given in the proclamation, and regional offices of the Division of Wildlife Resources will not be accepting completed applications as they have done in the past. This will help to cut down on long lines and free up field personnel for their regular duties. The last week when everyone used to wait until submittal caused a mass of confusion and diverted many officers and biologists from their regular duties, . APPLICATIONS for the various hunts will be accepted from July 5 through July 31 only. Of course there are many changes in the regulations this year and hunters should read the entire proclamation to be aware of these. The Davis County deer hunt will be slightly different than in the last five years in that no antlerless permits will be available during the regular season. The regular buck season will begin on Oct. 22 and last till Nov. 1. hunting regulations governing the taking of deer, elk, antelope, moose, buffalo, rocky mountain goat, and big horn sheep are what makes up the proclamation. This years proclamation is similar in format to the last two years with the exception of the deer permit maps being broken down into regular and pre or post season maps instead of combining all the hunting units on one map. Deer hunting unit maps do not show boundaries like they did last year and the hunter will have to get a more detailed map to follow the written boundary description. No ap- plication forms are included in the proclamation like they and Marilyn Tuke family and the Kay and Carol Nelson bers of their family from members belonging to the o attended including Mrs. Naomi Steck, Mrs. Nelsons Ephraim came to the party.

The counties have resisted mandatory emissions testing programs in the past saying that pollution levels were declining without them and would be within EPA guidelines in just a few years.

Rules Available Eor Fat! Hunt m -- - Davis County offiFARMINGTON cials are not too happy about recent actions by the federal Environmental Protection Agency to try and force a mandatory automobile emissions .inspection and maintenance program on the county. PROBABLY the biggest IN PAST years there has been antlerless deer permits available during the regular buck hunt. So low was the success rate during that hunt for antlerless deer that all of these permits have been shifted to me late season hunts in November and December. Success at killing an antlerless deer during the late hunt has been around 80 percent and is normally quite high because snow forces deer down lower on the mountains of the county and with all of the leaves off the trees hunting for these deer is much easier and efficient. THERE WILL be two separate late season antlerless deer hunts in Davis County this year. The first hunt will begin on the weekend of Nove. 7 and on Dec. 4 with hunting only on the weekends. Successful permit holders for that hunt must kill their antlerless deer on one of those two weekends. A second antlerless hunt will begin on Dec. 1 8 and goes till Dec. for those hunters who desire hunting in December. 26-2- 3-- THE REQUIRED testing would include measuring hydrocarbon and other pollutant emissions from automobile tailpipes.

Violations could result in anything from citations or revoking a drivers license to simply not issuing an inspection sticker. NOT WANTING to bother Utah drivers with another mandatory inspection, the state has resisted previous federal instructions to start such a program. With the threatened loss of road funds, however. Gov. Matheson can see no alternative but to accept the mandate of the EPA. This is a typical example of a situation resulting from strings with the federal government, said Com. Gerlach. "Whenever a local government entity accepts federal funds, you end up having to play their IF WE have to build inspection stations from scratch, it would be very expensive. It would cost much less to modify the present vehicle inspection system to include auto emissions testing. He indicated that if the county had the time and money, they would go to court to fight.the federal mandate. My concern is that ozone measurements used by the government are not a viable barometer of pollution, he said. HE EXPLAINED that 58 percent of the particulate emissions in Davis County come from industry and fuel handling companies, all of which seem to be meeting EPA standards. Newer vehicles with pollution control devices are replacing the older cars also. With other pollution levels coming down, why are ozone levels rising? It doesnt make sense, he said, "Im concerned also that Davis County is being singled out just because we are contiguous to Salt Lake. , How Many Davis Seniors Have Drinking Problems - one-thir- d Davis County Fair 0 problem. -- thing for everyone.

Both Salt Lake and Davis Counties would also be hard pressed to come up with that kind of money for the program. sponded that provisions of the federal Clean Air Act do not allow for such a delay. He added that if the state would enact the inspection program, it would forestall any economic sanctions against the two counties even if air quality there were to remain in violation of federal standards. This has become somew hat of an emotional issue, said Davis County Commissioner Harry Gerlach. It looks like the EPA really means business this time and will follow through on their sanctions. IT JUST shows how the federal government can control a state oi; county through the use of what they call sanctions. I call it blackmail. Com. Gerlach feels that the federal government has no right to withhold road funds, whether or not the county complies with federal clean air regulations. 10-1- Scheduled For August WHAT A PARADE! by to come up with an acceptable program on its own.

Often, though, its hard to get seniors involved in any sort of program, either at a senior, citizen center or through mental health, with alternatives specialist Marie Titus recalling the case of one woman who with such couldnt move about her home, much less attend a center. MR. FILLMORE emphasized mental health programs operate on a voluntary basis--th- e individual must want help. The only way we can keep them involuntarily is for a judge to demand they be kept there.
