Show 8 SPRINGVILLE HERALD Thursday.' February 14, 2008 Wildlife biologists: Don't feed the deer UDOT to install ramp meters on M5 in Utah County : Wildlife biologists have some advice to help Utah's deer make it through the last few weeks of winter: - If you're concerned about a group of deer, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office. If the DWR personnel you .talk with aren't familiar with the situation, they'll send a biologist or a conservation con-servation officer to check it out. - Keep your dogs inside your yard. If you decide to take your dogs out of your yard, keep them on a leash so they jjon't chase and harass ha-rass deer. - Doij't disturb deer. Keep your distance from them. "I - Don't feed the deer! DWR biologists are watching deer across Utah closelythis winter. They're also monitoring how cold it is and how deep the snow is. On. Feb. 1, conditions in Cache, Weber, Morgan Mor-gan and Summit counties reached a point that biologists biolo-gists decided that the deer in those areas needed to be fed. The biologists are feeding feed-ing pellets to the deer that are specifically designed for their complex digestive systems. Sportsman are helping the biologists feed the deer. . "We're watching deer across the state closely," says Craig McLaughlin, Wildlife Section chief for the DWR. "Parts of northern north-ern Utah are the only places plac-es where conditions have gotten severe enough that we feel the deer should be fed." i' Even though'the DWR has started feeding deer, biologists are urging people peo-ple not to feed deer on their own - in northern Utah or anywhere in the state. McLaughlin says deer have a complex digestive system. Hay and apples can give deer digestion problems. "Either of these can be a death sentence for the deer," McLaughlin said. ' WHO CAN YOU TRUST...

Book Look: "Barefoot Heart" Debbie Balzotti This title was perfect for Valentines Day - and I didn't even notice until I started writing the review! It is not a romance novel but rather an extraordinary extraordi-nary autobiography written writ-ten from the heart. . Elva Trevino Hart shares her story growing up in a Mexican migrant family during the 1950s and 1960sr Elva's family lived in the:" small south Texas town of Pearsall and traveled north .every summer to work in the fields of Wisconsin and Minnesota. This book is aril American Book Award Winner, nd the Spring- yifle Reads selection for -thi year. I add my votel that this is a good book to read. , Hart teaches us about poverty and discrimina-1 tion but also about family fam-ily and cultural heritage. ; Each chapter begins with a saying or dicho: "Aunque seas muy grande y rico, necesitas del pobre y chi-co". chi-co". Translation: "Though you may be wealthy and tall, you will still need the poor and the small". A few of the quotes were familiar to me, but many were new and thought-provoking. Her childhood was so unlike un-like mine, but so like many migrant children in America Ameri-ca at that time. It is important impor-tant to try to understand a little about each other in our multicultural America. As we read, there is the sense that we are reading her journal. Describing scenes from her youth, Hart uses her child voice to bring us the smells of salty, warm tortillas cooking or the feel of dry, baked earth on bare feet. As an adult, we understand her conflicting con-flicting feelings of enjoying enjoy-ing the luxuries of success as an IBM executive, and what she must give up to have the Mercedes and the designer clothes. Hart overcomes a childhood child-hood of poverty to obtain a bachelors degree in theoretical theo-retical mathematics and a master's degree in computer com-puter scienceengineering from Stanford University. Her story is about the benefits ben-efits and sacrifices and of assimilation and achievement. achieve-ment. "Barefoot Heart" is a great chojce for book clubs because it is well-written, inspirational and entertaining enter-taining - and there are lots of copies at the library. I enjoyed this memoir and hope to read more books from this author. Happy Heart Day. . As congestion on Interstate Inter-state 15 in Utah County continues to increase, UDOT will begin installing ramp meters at each freeway free-way on-ramp between University Uni-versity Parkway in Orem and the 1-15 interchange at state Route 92 in north Lehi. Crews have started utility util-ity work at the northbound on-ramp at University Parkway. Within the next week or two, crews will begin work at the northbound north-bound on-ramps at Orem Center Street and 800 North. Construction work at other interchanges will start soon after. "During the morning and afternoon commute, groups of vehicles attempt to access 1-15 at the same time, which slows down traffic. Ramp meters regulate regu-late how frequently vehicles vehi-cles access 1-15 by creating gaps which allow motorists to merge safely without creating additional travel delays," said John Higgins, UDOT Project Manager. Crews will work Monday through Friday, between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Travel delays should be minimal. The $3 million mil-lion project is planned to be complete by the end of May 2008.
