Show USPS Millard County The Utah Wildlife Board recently passed a fishing season While this will offer anglers more it will also require fishing opportunity additional funding according to Geer “The opportunities available to anglers in Utah are tremendous With an adequate funding base we could survey lakes to determine their full potential More waters could become fisheries like Deer Creek Reservoir offering multiple species of game fish for the angler Others could be managed to realize their high quality potential such as we’re planning for the Green River” explained Geer Besides increased fishing opportunity the Division wants to improve hunter and angler access continue to provide fish habitat in the conservation pool program expand the hunter education program and provide sportsmen better resource opportunity for their dollar Managing wildlife is expensive says Geer “Many demands are being put on wildlife habitat especially on critical big game winter range and upland

request” Nov Conserving port DWR to The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has announced it will seek a license fee increase from the Legislature next January “The cost of doing business has increased since out last fee increase in 1980 like it has for everyone” says William Geer Acting Division Director “We can’t carry out a comprehensive wildlife management program without additional revenue We have some ideas to benefit the sportsmen of the state if we get funds to begin quality new programs” The proposed license fee schedule would eliminate the trout stamp It would also earmark $2 from big game and combination licenses for big game damage prevention and payments Geer presented the license fee crease proposal to the legislative Energy and Natural Resources Interim Committee in September “They gave us a vote of support in October” he said the acting director agrees that the quested fee increase is substantial “But so are the benefits” he insists “We hope that sportsmen and legislators will study the reasons and support our Thurs game habitat which are often prime We must targets for development preserve what remains to insure the survival of many species of wildlife” Geer is ultimately a realist “The added income from a license fee crease won’t solve all the problems facing wildlife but it can help move the Division and the sportsmen of the state toward

Extension energy specialist at Utah State University Ringer makes his observation on the eve of American Energy Awareness Week October He noted that the average American consumer has cut energy use by 14 percent since 1979 from 351 million Btu’s to 301 million That decrease has resulted in large part from the spiraling energy costs during the 1970s For example Ringer said nationwide the price of gasoline more than tripled from the 357 cents a gallon we were paying in 1970 to the $1225 we paid last year And the cost of natural gas skyrocketed from $109 to $599 during the same period With prices racing ahead at such breakneck speed consumers looked toward conservation to save money was one of the “Conservation our in reducing factors primary dependency on imports and extends the time we have to figure out other energy sources” Ringer said But the USU energy specialist said we still must take measures to conserve energy One important area is in the home where conservation measures can put more dollars in the homeowner’s pockets Ringer offered several tips on making your home more energy efficient: Attic Insultation: Check to see if your attic has the recommended levels of insulation for your area If not vest in more insulation System: Clean or HeatingCooling replace filters as needed Close doors and vents in unused rooms Insulate ducts and pipes in unheated spaces W'hen replacing ask your contractor to show you EnergyGuide fact sheets on operating costs and select the efficient one with lower operating costs Exterior Walls: Consider adding insulation when remodeling or your house Ask contractors about the family Water Heaters: Lower the thermostat on this big energy user Install insulation wrap and flow restrictor When shower heads and faucets replacing your water heater look for the EnergyGuide label and select the efficient one with the lower operating cost W indows and Doors: Consider doors or stalling storm windows glass to keep in the heat Compare costs for payback Fish can be susceptible to seasickness Artificial "storm waves" made in a glass bowl in a scientific study resulted in seasick goldfish & Appliances: Fully load clothes and dishwashers Keep refrigerator doors look for When replacing closed EnergyGuide label and select the one with the lower operating cost Floors and Foundation Walls: Check for adequate insulation under floors and around basement crawl spaces and foundation walls Thermostat: Consider a clock thermostat with automatic night setback It will save you money Keep temperatures 65 degrees in the winter and 5 degrees lower when sleeping or away Higher temperatures are recommended for homes with sick elderly or infants Weather StrippingCaulking: Locate air cracks around doors windows and other openings where outside air is infiltrating your house Seal them for with caulking or weatherstripping quick payback Sunlight: Let the sunlight in during the winter and keep it out during the summer who teaches classes on Ringer energy subjects says he often hears his students complain that it doesn’t do any good to install devices because utilities will raise the for the lost price to compensate income Ringer tells them to consider how much it would be costing them now if the installed they hadn’t feature Ringer said experts may disagree how long the energy concerning resources on the earth will last but these facts have become clear: Proven sources of energy are limited People consume the energy of the Earth faster than nature can create it US lifestyles account for an astonishing amount of the energy consumed on our Earth If we do not recognize a real energy crisis today we are at least well on our way toward exhausting our energy resources The continuous increase in energy costs has become a major crisis for many families “If we cannot live without energy” Ringer asks “how can we live well with less?” Conservaton of the energy resources in all forms is essential to our Ringer said adding that we can slow down our rate of energy consumption by changing the way we use it - and waste it “Some changes require new titudes values and habits” he said “Others will take time
