Show 9, 1972 Sunday, April Dolphins Take Second Place In Major Meet Outdoor Roundup By CASEY BOWN Drivers Need to Stay Alert for Animals The subject is highway kills, the victims are millions of our vildlife, the season right now underway when some of the heaviest losses occur. After the winter weather confinement the birds and beasts are on the move. Migrating with the receeding snows, mating, nesting and otherwise on the move everywhere including on and across our roadways. Here in Utah a decade ago our wildlife resources people compiled a record of highway deer kills that year. It tallied to 2,540 animals, which is five times the number of deer legally harvested by hunters in 1911. No accurate record has ever been kept of such kills of other animals like our birds, rabbits, squarrels, chucks, and muskrat to name but a few. Tens of thousands at least. recent national study showed that more than 120,000 deer and 1,200 other big game animals were reported killed in one year on our nation's highways in collisions with motor vehicles. During that same year 11 motorists were reported killed in these collisions, and all figures are considered conservative. Damage to vehicles alone , figures at more than 30 million dollars per year. If each deer loss is figures at $50 the loss nationally would amount to more than another $6 million. So what is being done about it? Federal agencies, most of the states, and a host of layman organizations with others have been working on the problem for years. The problems have been complicated by the burgeoning growth of freeways and better, faster highways in general. Some progress has been made but much more help is needed before any real dent can be made in these tragic figures. So what can we the vehicle drivers do about it? For our own sake, and that of the animals as well, we can continually think wildlife whenever we drive the highways. That is number one and then to keep a sharp lookout whether we are along any road from valley to mountains. Most deer and other big game kills of this kind occur at night, especially during early evening-earl- y morning hours, though they can and do take place during the daytime. Most bird kills are in the daytime since few are nocturnal in habit. Many of our smaller wildlife move about day or night. Here are a few suggestions that have proven to be helpful. Whenever an animal, pheasant or deer or whatever, is on or near the shoulder of the road, SLOW DOWN. Then blast the horn. If you see reflected animal eyes at night, slow down even more and blast the horn louder. When you see a deer crossing sign, SLOW DOWN. Deer are often together, so if there is one, watch for others. The same is true of some other wildlife. By being aware of wildlife, alert at all times that they may show up along the highways anytime, large and small, that are victims each year, plus the costs of damaged vehicles and maybe our own injuries or loss of life. It sums up to something we should all be thinking about when we get behind the wheel. The two big ponds are producing fish, Bass at Powell and trout Flaming Gorge way. The bass are coming easiest using waterdogs as bait, with crappie in abundance a bonus when fished near the underwater cover using small, bright jig A flies. Some good trout, both rainbow and native, are coming to trolled lures but our reports say worms, cheese and other baits are producing well for the shore fishermen. Watch for the closed to fishing signs near the creek mouths if going to the Gorge. They designate water closed to protect spawners that are running now. Yours for fun, Casey The Utah Valley Dolphin Swimmers ended the winter swimming season this week by winning second place against strong competition in the Clasc A Swimming Meet held at Cottonwood High School, Last year's team placed eleventh in the same meet.

The program will feature supermodified and stock racing cars in a full evening of exciting racing. The race will count season toward the point championship for the drivers. Because you swing cnly to the ball and choke off your swing just when it should be building to its peak speed. There is a sound way to get over this fear of swinging through the ball with an accelerating clubhead. Instead of thinking obsessively about the ball (you'll keep your eye on it with no great effort), think initially about Fix a your picture in your mind's eye of how you will look at the finish of a nice full swing, with your hands high and your weight shifted over to your left side. Then just let the ball get in the way of your swing. ' - I ' i- - f :p i r 4 15-1- 1J Uiah-P- ape rf J T h J t k I !f l if A iL & '!

He bit at the bell of swinging through it. The ball is too important to the average golfer. It's there and you must advance it, but you must rid your mind of the thought that your swing begins and ends at the ball. It you stop to analyze your game, you almost surely will find that your swings are smooth and graceful. But when you step forward to address the ball you make a tight, less fluid pass with the club.
