Plan now for winter onslaught by deer Taking action in summer can mitigate problems this winter BY KIM WOODBURY Clipper Correspondent BOUNTIFUL -- You may not have deer in your yard during the summer, but now is the time to plan to minimize the effects of deer in the winter. A tall, sturdy fence is the best solution, according to Mike Wildlife Welch, Regional Northern for the Manager region of the Division of Wildlife Resources. The one thing that absolutely stops deer is a tall fence. It needs to be at least seven feet high. A lot of people don't like to do that, but it does stop them, Welch said. It is the responsibility of each person to protect their property A lower fence, such as chain-linor decorative wood or metal fences will reduce, but not eliminate the problem. What you plant in your yard and garden now may also determine how many deer will visit you this winter. Plants in secluded locations tend to be more susceptible to browsing. Ornamental plants, which are very popular with deer and are often permanently damaged, should not be planted unless they are completely protected. Bountiful resident Floyd Doty said he is tired of having deer eat his plants. People go through quite a bit of effort to have beautiful yards and it is frustrating to plant four-foot-hi- list Council facing 3 vacancies this year NORTH SALT LAKE North Salt Lake council members whose four-yea- r terms of office end this year include Lynn L.

Doty said I understand that we have invaded then property, but the city is here now and I would like to see the Division of Wildlife Resources come in and keep the numbers down Other residents, however, are willing to sacrifice their plants for the opportunity to watch wildlife in their backyards I love to see the deer They are beautiful animals I think it's wonderful to see wildlife around Im afraid it won't be very many years before our grandchildren won't see any!' Bountiful resident Alden Higgs said "I plants tulips and marigolds and they come in and dig around and eat apples off ground and I don't mind that at all. All we have to do is just plant a few extras and enov them" Most people have learned how to deal with deer, according to North Salt Lake City Manager reading. Clipper Staff Writer The center opened eight years ago with a lab at Woods Cross High. Computer literacy among teachers and staff was low much of the time in the beginning was spent in teaching mouse skills, Diane Smith, an ETC integration lab instructor said. Teachers back then had trouble figuring out how to move the mouse to get the desired operation. Today, the centers instructors teach more level II and III classes than level I courses and 99 percent of district teachers are comfortable using word processors. The centers goal is to get 100 percent using computers. Something else that has changed over the years is the number of school technology FARMINGTON - In a little over an hour on Tuesday. Davis Board of Education members learned how to create a Power Point presentation and put one together. It was an abbreviated presentation of a class district technology experts generally take a half day to teach Of course, board members had help creating their presentations from the Educational Technology Center staff, and if they didn't have the presentation completed by the workshop's end, it was OK. The workshop was unusual in that it offered board members a hands-o- n experience learning, and interacting with technology personnel. Computers have found their way into every classroom and office in the school district and teachers are more often using computers to teach most any subject. Everything we do here is in concert with the entire district, said Roger Martin, the district's ETI coordinator. One example the board saw was a supplement to an honors English course, in which students were asked to read books this summer in preparation for the fall class and were required to answer questions about their I Minimis titvdin wl i ,iii civ tvrs, - isrs.

In the early days of computer use in the district, teachers were often frustrated that if they had problems, there were too few school technology specialists, meaning they had to wait to get computer glitches fixed. That has changed. Now, teacher frustration is most evident in the lack of time to develop and implement technology into the curriculum. A team of instructors teach a variety of classes to teachers and other district personnel throughout the year.
