UTAH Some boys should not be left alone in the woods. The Park Record reports that the state of Utah and the federal government have sued the Boy Scouts of America for a total of $14 million, because a blaze some Scouts allegedly started in the Uinta Mountains charred 14,200 acres in 2002. The overnight trip of some 20 Scouts, between the ages of 11 and 14, was sored by the Peoa Ward of the Church ofJesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints, but no adult from the church accompanied the youngsters the night of the fire. The Scouts were working toward merit badges in wilderness survival.

So oblivious, it seems, theyre more vulnerable than cow elk are to attacking wolf packs. Winnie, a doctoral student at Montana State University in Bozeman, said researchers used to think the bulls ignored wolves because they were the big, bad dudes in town. Wolves arent going to mess with them. Instead, Winnie found that bull elk are starving, having lost more than 100 pounds between September and November, and theyre eating as fast as they can to bulk up for winter. Cow elk are in better shape, so they put down their forks and become vigilant when they sense wolves.

Continued drought has made Utah extremely vulnerable to wildfire. The prospect can be frightening. The good news is that While fires can be catastrophic JENSEN orthodontics specializing in braces in human terms, there are compensating benefits to wildlife. In Utah, wildlife watchers and sportsmen have been concerned about not seeing the number of d$er theyve seen in previous decades. Although many factors have contributed to the decline, fire prevention and suppression are partially responsible. Mule deer, depend on young, vigorous shrubby vegetation to meet their dietary requirements. Outside of mans interference, nature accomplishes this by natural fire, which rids the land of dead and dying plant growth, returns nutrients to the soil and sets back plant succession to its youngest and most productive stage.
