Caldwell has worked for the Region for more than 1 1 years as a landowner assistance assis-tance technician. As a full-time employee, em-ployee, his position was unique. His job responsibilities were to handle, coordinate and solve many of the big game depredation and nuisance problems in the region. Due to his success, this position is now being filled in other regions. "When he started, the depredation and nuisance problems were assigned as-signed to the conservation officers and area biologists in the region," said Steve Cranney. Regional Wildlife Manager. "A large block of their time was consumed by this mandatory program Morgan has developed de-veloped the depredation program over the years into a proactive response re-sponse mechanism, whereby ranchers ranch-ers and farmers (former opponents of the Division) have their depredation depreda-tion situation addressed promptly and to a reasonable level of satisfaction. satis-faction. Many ranchers are now advocates ad-vocates of the Division because of the depredation program he has developed." de-veloped."

The regional biologist and conservation officers are made aware of the depredation issues in heir areas and districts, and assist when needed on big projects; but as a general rule, the day to day solutions solu-tions are worked out between the respective ranchers and the technicians. techni-cians. As such, more time is made available to the biologists and conservation con-servation officers to direct their work efforts into other sectional programs. The use of landowner assistance as-sistance technicians to solve depredation depre-dation has now been used by other regions in the state as a model for success. "From a personal perspective, the success of Morgan's program is based on his knack of working and speaking the language of his clients," Cranney said. "He has set goals for himself and his employees on response time and quality of work that have created much of this good will. He has expanded his job responsibilities to include the task of field explosives trainer for the Division and has done an excellent job. He enjoys working will all sections sec-tions in the region, as well as the public, and assists on many other programs as time allows."

Brown states, "Please be advised this is a one-day only sales event. Because of the size of discounts being offered, when our inventory has been reduced to the desired level, the sale tags will be removed and all vehicles will return to their normal pricing." This inventory situation has been difficult on us but it will certainly cer-tainly be an opportunity for the consumers who participate. We'd rather give our local customers the chance to purchase these vehicles then send them to the wholesale auctions in Salt Lake," says Brown.
