STATEREGION Land owners tired of tubers on area canals LOGAN (AP) Some prop- erty owners and canal company stockholders have grown tired of dealing with the abuses f discourteous recreation-ist- s who traditionally float the canals of Cache Valley. Hikers, joggers, motorcyclists and snowmobilers also traverse the trails beside the waterways, though canal company stockholders hold the rights of way for access to maintain the canals. But without specific permission from canal companies and private property owners, public use of the areas is an encroachment, said Robert Hill, an irrigation specialist for Utah State University. 'There are liability issues along with use of these canals," Hill said. "Do the canal companies fence their right of ways and put up signs saying, 'No trespassing'?" In the event of an accidental drowning, the grieving family could sue the canal company, Hill said. Such a case is pending in Utah County. When a tuber gets a laceration on his arm from a branch or on his foot from a broken beer bottle, Hill said, the canal company could be liable. , "And yet, are they treated as trespassers?" Hill asked. By and large, the answer is no. Hyde Park resident Gina Howard lives adjacent to a canal popular for hiking and tubing. After several instances of trespassing, the homeowners posted signs and installed chains to block traffic in their backyard. Despite the obstacles, trail users, including snowmobilers, manage to get around or under the blockade from time to time, she said. August 18, 1444. THE DAILY HliRAl D.

"They went through the basic guidelines of the bear management policy, and from the actions of the bear, and interviews with the victims, it was determined that it was a defensive action on the part of the bear," said park spokesman David Eaker. "No management action will be taken against the bear." The trail the hikers were using remains closed, and rangers continue to patrol the area for any sign of the grizzly and cub. Center. "The doctors said the biting went all the way through both of his arms; her teeth met in the middle," said his wife, Cassie, who flew to Montana after the attack. "But clearly she was not out to kill because she didn't." Two other hikers were mauled in a separate attack several minutes later on the same trail.

Increased ozone levels in the hard-to-contr- California foothills and in Stockton are playing a significant role in lake pollution, said Dennis Murphy, an environmental researcher at the University of Nevada, Reno. The ozone combines with water in the lake to make nitrogen and phosphorus, which fuel the algae growth clouding the lake, Murphy says. If pollution from outside the basin is a significant factor, it may be difficult to restore the alpine lake's clarity, said i Ericsson 688 $6995.
