Getting in practice for the big event, MHS graduating senior Jaye P. Smith posed with Patricia Rimpau, School Board Respresentative, last Thursday afternoon. The actual graduation ceremony was beautiful and stately. By contrast, practice was all fun. ; fjj iiw--- mm The Milford High was School Baccalaureate held Sunday evening May 25, 1997. The guest speaker was Mrs. Margaret Miller. She extended a challenge to the graduating seniors, relating how at times in their lives they have been dared. Earlier by friends with silly dares, but that night she gave them a new dare. She dared them to be a success, as many of them are sure to be. e example. Joe Dalton: A S'l 1" 195 lb Last week's sheriff's report should have read as follows: What would graduation be without Mrs. Nelson? A Hinkley, Utah, man was booked into Beaver County Jail on a wildlife violation. f iy A Sevier, Utah, man was arrested and booked into jail on charges of Child Abuse and Assault, following an incident in Milford. In an ironic twist of fate, a different Hinkley man tells a chilling tale of an incident in Cedar City: At some point in the process of gassing the car, his young child "helped" by removing the gas nozzle - still running - from the tank. He took the hose from the child, swatted his behind, and told him to get in the car. Moments later, while he was making an adjustment under the hood, he was surrounded by police. When told to drop the weapon a screw driver - he put it in the car instead. Child Abuse and Disorderly Conduct? Yes, this is only one side of the story - Cedar City Police declined comment! 0i ve an CORRECTION! m lineman, has been involved in a state of the art power lifting program for two years, sports a GPA of 3.0, benches 282 lbs, dead lifts 405 lbs, squat lifts 407 lbs, and power cleans 202 lbs.

All such programs are a result of input by die public in public meetings where their interests and concerns woe expressed New management direction has been undertaken because of that input A major change has been the initiation of specific herd unit objectives for elk numbers on each unit In 1993, the legislature mandated that each unit have a maximum number of elk that would be allowed on it Public meetings were held, and the local Regional Advisory Council (RAC) took input from the various individuals and groups interested in those units. The RAC in turn took recommendations to the Board of Big Game Control (now the Wildlife Board), which then took further public input As a result, a final plan for each unit was approved, as required by law. In this region, for instance, the Fishlake elk unit has an approved plan which allows 5,000 elk as determined by a winter helicopter survey. The Panguitch Lake unit is permitted 500 elk. If those numbers are exceeded, then antleriess permits are issued to bring the herd into compliance with the management plan. In addition to total numbers, each unit is also managed for a specific type of hunt. The Panguitch Lake unit for instance, is a limited entry unit Only a limited number of permits are issued by drawing, and the harvest is directed toward larger bulls. The Fishlake Unit, on the other hand, is managed to offer more opportunity for more hunters. Bull permits are issued with only a statewide cap on numbers. A second management goal, directed by the Wildlife Board as a result of public input, is that each elk unit in the state be managed for a minimum of 8 bulls per 100 cows after the hunting season. Of these 8 bulls, 4 must be mature, or branch antlered. In the case where these goals are not being met, then spike-onl-y regulations are to be implemented. This has been the case with the Fishlake herd. After years of poor bull:cow ratios, spike- - only was initiated in 1989. As a result, 1997 a bull ratio had increased to 1 1 total surveys indicated that post-seasbulls and 6 mature bulls per 100 cows. A limited number of permits that allow harvest of older bulls are now issued for the Fishlake unit. These allow some hunter to harvest older bulls, even on a unit that is managed for maximum recreation and opportunity. In 1997, die Boulder elk unit was changed from an any bull to a spike only unit Many people have questioned why this action was taken. The answer can be easily found in considering the objectives set by the Wildlife Board for elk units. In 1997, surveys showed that the Boulder unit was falling far short of bull:cow ratio objectives. Only 4 bulls per 100 cows, and only 0.2 mature bulls per 100 cows were observed. This mandated that restrictions on bull harvest must be initiated to bring those numbers into compliance with public expectations and Wildlife Board direction. Consequently, spike-onl- y hunting was established for the 1997 season to help meet that goal. It is obvious that die public has much more to say about how elk herds in Utah will be managed than ever before. Both herd numbers and herd quality are the result of public input to the RAC and the Wildlife Board. The Division of Wildlife Resources urges all interested parties to participate in the processes set up to take public input on those issues. Only by doing so can your voice be heard."And those Voices have a tremendous amount to say about how our elk herds will be managed. on - n 1 Peaber Count?
