Lake Powell anniversary This is a big year for Lake Powell. It was in March of 1963 that the dam was closed and the lake began to fill 25 years ago. To celebrate that anniversary, the various facilities at Lake Powell are hosting a number of special events throughout the boating season, beginning May 7 in Page, Arizona. The popularity of the lake has been amazing. When the lake first began filling predictions were that it would draw 500,000 people annually by the year 2000. Wrong. In 1987, Lake Powell attracted at-tracted nearly three million people. peo-ple. It has now passed such long time favorites as Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Rocky Mountain Moun-tain National Parks and is the second se-cond most popular overnight stop in the Park Service system ( following Yosemite). Don't let dogs bite Bambis Division of Wildlife Resources urges dog owners to maintain control of their pets and prevent them from harassing and killing deer. Deer and other wildlife chased by domestic dogs are recurring problems which can be prevented by responsible pet owners. Early spring is a particularly vulnerable period for wildlife recovering after a long winter. After months of moving through snow and browsing on low-quality food, many animals are weak and unable to escape attacking dogs. Pregnant does are especially vulnerable since fetuses are growing rapidly and greatly reduce the females' energy reserves. Expending any excess energy may result in death. Wildlife conservation officers monitor the conditions of Utah's wildlife during the spring, and will issue citations to those allowing allow-ing their dogs to harass andor attack wildlife.
