Dr. Hugh Hogle, representing the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Founda-tion (RMEF), presented a check for $50,000 to the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources at the state headquarters office on Friday, May 12. The RMEF contribution will be matched by license dollars from the Division of Wildlife Resources and federal funds and used to purchase nearly 2,000 acres of elk habitat in an area to be known as the Cherry Creek Wildlife Management Area, just east of Richmond, in northern Cache County. Total funds generated by the donation and matching grants will bs just over $400,000. The majority of the purchase price will be covered by federal funds generated through the excise ex-cise tax on hunting equipment through the Pittman-Robertson Act. "Every single dollar for this project has come out of the sportsmen's pocket," says Dwight Bunnell, Chief of Game Management Manage-ment with the Division of Wildlife Resources. "Whether it's through donations to organizations like the RMEF, the purchase of licenses licen-ses and stamps or the excise tax on equipment, sportsmen continue con-tinue to lead the way in their support sup-port of conservation programs." The check from the RMEF is part of the habitat acquisition and development money dedicated dedi-cated to Utah during the Foundation's national "Encampment" "Encamp-ment" held in Salt Lake City in February 1988. "We're just getting get-ting started with elk projects in Utah," says Bill Christensen, president of the foundation's Utah chapter. The foundation gets most of its funding through fund-raising dinners. Two such events will soon take place in Ogden and Salt Lake City. Call Glenn Evans in Salt Lake City at 466-8066 or 969-4988 for further information.

SUMMER WEATHER CONTRIBUTES TO 30 INCREASE IN INJURIES With warm summer weather here, children and adults spend a lot more time engaged in outdoor activities. ac-tivities. This increase in activity means accidents and injuries are more likely to occur. Each year the Orem Community Hospital 24-hour Emergency Center sees a 30 percent increase in the number of patients treated during the summer months. Many injuries to children seen in the Orem Community Hospital Emergency Emer-gency Center are bicycle related. It is not uncommon for 3-4 children to be brought in each day with injuries caused by riding on the handlebars. Often, a foot gets caught in the spokes, resulting in serious cuts and scrapes, a broken foot, or ankle. Other times, during a quick stop the child is thrown from the handlebars to the pavement. Parents should strongly warn their children against riding on handlebars. One of the most common causes of a broken arm or severe cuts and scrapes are rollerskating or skateboarding skate-boarding accidents. According to emergency room physicians, some severe injuries are caused by a child being towed or pulled at high speeds. It is recommended that children use only high quality equipment, and that knee and elbow pads be worn. Many injuries are caused by lawnmowers. Both children and adults are often treated for injuries caused by catching a hand or finger in the blade while trying to pull something out or away from the mower. It is important to always turn the lawnmower off when working on it, even to remove the grass catcher It is also recommended that long pants and shoes be worn whle using a lawnmower, as objects may shoot out and strike the legs or feet. Cuts, the most common injury, often occur to children while around the swingset. Many swingsets have bolts and screws with uncovered ends that are an invitation to injury Children can suffer deep gashes in the face and body. The ends of bolts should be covered with a material that will not rip or tear skin.
