Clark said according to the proposal campgrounds in the North ; Fork of American Fork Canyon from r .the turn-of- f to Tibbie Fork Reservoir i will be converted to day-us- e only. Also converted to day-us- e only will be the Silver Lake basin, higher i up in the North Fork of the canyon. In addition, a "weekend only" per- 1 mit system is to be implemented on the Aspen Grove trail area of Mt. f Timpanogos in Provo Canyon. This day-us- e. Prior to reconstruction, there were 32 single units at Granite Flat. There are currently 44 single units and eight double units, the equivalent of 60 single units. The same opportunities will be available for campers but at a different location, she said. The changes have become necessary because of the popularity of the canyon. The North Fork receives heavy use in both undeveloped and developed areas (areas with fire rings, water and restrooms). - 2 Concern begins at Echo camp ground, continues up the North Fork to Tibbie Fork reservoir, and goes approximately three miles above the Tibbie Fork junction. Over the years, facilities, stream-bank- s, and surrounding areas have been ioved to death" by continuous camping from local residents as well as out of town visitors, Clark said, with the majority of visitors from Salt Lake City. Use in this area has increased each year for the last five years with the exception of 1993 when avalanches and flooding occurred in the canyon. The result is damage to vegetation and streambanks. Also the erosion and increased silting in the river has damaged fish habitat and contributed to decreased storage capacity of Tibbie Fork reservoir.

Throughout its existence, the Redwood Road junction with the Cedar Valley highway has claimed numerous lives. There is more than one court case involving this hazardous area including a death that occurred this January. Improvements on the junction are included in' a project that was just advertised for bid last Saturday. "There will be left turn lanes on SR73 (Cedar Valley Highway,)" said Brian Phillips, UDOT Traffic Engineer. "Street lighting will be ! put in at the intersection and on SR68 (Redwood Road) new signs and flashing lights will be added to the signs. There will be flashers on the 'stop ahead' sign." UDOT was not able to comment on how many lives had been lost or on how many accidents had occurred at that site. "We've had a bunch of them," admitted Lonny Gleave, UDOT representative. "A stop light isn't an answer. It is such a wide open area and there is not enough traffic.

A quality mule deer rack goes for more than elk at over $10,000. The fines and penalties seem dim by comparison.

As a result of the new substation, Lehi City Power will have Continued from front page explained Jense. "There is some poaching on the side that is taking a bite out of it. If you divide up the pie and see where the deer go, the sportsman is getting the smaller slice of it every year. They are trying to compensate by cutting back on buck-onl- y hunting and that's not doing it." Besides roadkill, poaching is also on the increase.

For just his route alone, the roadkill collection numbers to over 2,000 dead deer a year. The destruction to the deer pop- ulation has been noticed by the Board of Game Control. They have tried to compensate for the loss by cutting back on the legal hunter's take.
