Show Wednesday, November eoAunoN 13, 1974 HORSES Winterize Your Horse Dispute continued from page 1 mer moved to reduce home rates to $4 per month. ' Mayor Price responded to this proposal rather By Linda Offret Winter is approaching us rapidly and while we still have a few warm days left, we should prepare our horses for winter. Two very important things we should do are : 1) Worm your horse. People seem to think that not all horses have worms. This is a misconception; because of the horses eating habits (from the ground), they are infesting themselves continually. Worms are parasites that live off their host the horse they are in. They can cause a horse to waste away to nothing and, even worse, can cause death by starving the horse. Death can also be caused by a colic caused by ly by saying the City Council would be kissing away a $150,000 grant if they lessened the home rate. He stated that one of the conditions of the $150,000 water grant which Park City had received from the state was the increase of home water rates by 66 23 percent. Councilman Hansen then attacked Mr. Price's stance. After noting that the city has been pooping away money on illegal bills", Mr. Hansen said, The rest of the Council doesn't know whats going on. Show the people in town why we're obligated to raise the worms infesting the intestinal and circulatory systems. The other important thing we should do is : 2) Have the horses shoes pulled off and trim its feet. The shoes horses wear pick up snow and form balls in the frog and sole of the hoof. This makes an oval or concave surface for the horse to walk on which is uncomfortable and dangerous. I suggest having your horse wormed by drenching this should be done only by a qualified veterinarian. It is the most thorough method today and it is not expensive. Rates vary from $6 to $8 per horse. rates. Saying he and the rest of the Council had never seen the Water grant contract, Mr. Hansen said that he was beginning to doubt your (Mayor Prices) word." ! The Mayor replied that Councilman Hansen had been a lot of places where you didn't know what was going on." Mrs. Lehmer was next. Site remarked, If we can give it (water) away to them nightly rental owners), why not give it away to the homeowners. "Mayor Price gaveled the Council to order and called for a vote on Mrs. Lehmer's motion to reduce the home rates. The motion failed by the identical 2 vote. It would be a good time to have the vet check Blaine Simpson your horses teeth, also, in case it has some which impair chewing and cause digestion problems. They may need to be filed down. You should also have a qualified farrier work on your horses feet, as it is important that your horse has a level surface to walk on. If you have a young horse (up to 3 years) or a horse whose feet grow rapidly, you should have the farrier come up a few times during the winter to keep the feet shaped properly. Doing these things will certainly give your horse a good start into the winter months. Should you notice your horse falling off in appearance, you can look for a few things such as: Does he chew efficiently? Is his appetite good? Is his environment would 3-- Refuses to Vote Visably disturbed by the course of events, Councilman Hansen refused to vote on the next two motions before the Council, even though they had nothing to do with the water rate issue. The first of these was an good? discussion. The other motion was the revocation of the business license for the Park City Athletic Club. The Council had previously approved the license without being aware of a parking stipulation which had been imposed bv the Planning Commission. Their revocation came after sufficient parking was found Councilman Hansen and Wllklng which recommendations resulted from their monthlong stucy of Park City last August. Reacting to Mr. Clarys $350 per day plus expenses fee, ' Mr. Hansen asked. "What does he do?" Mr. Price replied, He makes a lot of money. In a more serious vein, the Mayor said the expense would be a "token payment for what NTDS has dime for the town.'1 Councilman Wilking said, "Personally. I feel it would be very valuable to have Tom return." Councilmen Hansen and Lehmer both expressed doubt lacking; although this is disputed by owner Ed Rodgers. Follow-u- p Mayor Price informed the Council that Mr. Tom Clary of the National lYaining and Development Service has offered to confer with city of- ficials concerning past, present, and future imof NTDS plementation ESTATE BANK WOLFES IS NOW OPEN! 1 0-- 6 Daily Come in and see everything that's new for 75. . . and see ournewiy remodeied and expanded store PRE-SEASO- as to the value of such a visit and the result was another vote in favor of requesting Mr. Clarys services. The visit is scheduled for sometime between January 6th and 16th. 3-- 2 The last question is important because many horses are too shy to fight the more aggressive horses for food. If thats the case, then you need to health-relatechange the environment. If it seems to be imyou should call a veterinarian mediately. The sooner you call one, the better the vet will hie able to handle the problem. In this area, most horses individually owned are boarded together at a stable, on rented property, somewhere other than your own backyard. For this reason, it is important to make sure that you, or someone you trust, see your horse daily. It is only being responsible when you have someone elses animals on your property that you check them over daily. Looking closely, observing their habits can really help you to recognize when something is wrong. Horses need three things daily to survive : 1) Food at least 20 pounds of hay daily 2) Water should be available at ALL times; it is needed to keep the kidneys cleansed, etc., and for normal bodily functions. 3) Shelter from snow, rain, and wind. Most places around here provide all three, but some people are still under the impression that snow is just as good as water. The Humane Society will tell you no, snow is not water. They will impound animals called to their attention which are receiving snow instead of water. The hay you feed your horse should be green and leafy. The hay may differ from area to area, depending on the type of grasses native to the area. The color of the hay is a good indication of its nutritional value. If its very yellow' with very little green, it is quite low in nutrition, and while it provides bulk, it does not fill the horses daily d, requirement. SPECIAL!

Deer check station information indicates a preliminary harvest of 60,000 mule deer for this years October 19th through 29th season. This compares with 82,319 deer taken in 1973. John pointed to several fac- tors accounting for the decline this year. The biggest cut, of course, was due to buck-onl- y hunting an most units in the state. Elimination of control permits, fewer hunters afield this year, and limited seasons on those areas which did have either-se- x hunting were other contributing factors. However, John added, Despite the apparent clamor of some hunters for buck-onl- y hunting in the state, many switched to units with either-sehunting the first three days. This increased the harvest of does on these units. Thus, when all decreases and increases of harvest in specific areas are totalled, a net reduction this year of over 21,000 deer harvested mostly does is seen. John noted that all Division officers who worked in the Manti, Nebo and Fishlake area the site of three-da- y either-seeight day buck-onl- y x -- x, p, area did not materialize. That area, in southeastern Utah, was bucks only the first four days and either-sethe last seven days. -- x During the first weekend, officers there checked 2,362 hunters with 455 deer. The second weekend, when either- sex could be taken, 968 hunters brought out 197 does and 160 bucks 357 deer. Bv the time either-se- hunting x began in that area, distant from population centers, most hunters had gone home," said John. -, , Overall hunter success was about 33 percent this year. Biologists had estimated a 30 to 35 percent success rate. Harvest questionnaires being mailed this week will indicate more exact figures. llopi I'te Customs During the morning, kindergarteners. first, second, & and third graders were treated to a program about and presented by Hopi and Ute Indians.
